All Hail Cousin Brother

"In the past year, there has been a lot of backlog in the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and students from all over the world have asked the court to seriously try the Ning Boyuan case.

"..."

The documents of the courtiers were sent to the Shouyan Palace.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was already bedridden, leaning on the big ginger-yellow pillow, listening to the maid's report, the situation of the previous court, as if gossip.

"I heard that many students have gathered at the Confucian Temple to jointly protest against the imperial court, demanding a strict trial of Ning Yuanbo's case and giving justice to thousands of students all over the world..."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager covered her mouth and coughed piercingly. The waiter looked at the handkerchief covering the Empress Dowager's mouth, which had been dyed red with blood, and her calf couldn't help but tremble, and there was cold sweat on her forehead. kept coming out.

"Cough cough cough -" The queen mother was coughing and gasping.

Aunt Shen hurriedly brought a bowl of pear paste water over and fed it to the Empress Dowager.

Miraculously, after drinking a bowl of pear ointment water, the Queen Mother, who was constantly coughing and wheezing, looked much better with the naked eye, and the coughing and wheezing gradually stopped.

The Empress Dowager panted and said, "One by one, they are virtuous, they keep their voices high, and to put it bluntly, they are just to rule out dissidents..."

Ning Yuanbo is the second prince's foreign family. If Ning Yuanbo's case is not tried for a day, and the charges are not conclusive, Lan Fei is still not lost, and there are still a group of people in the court who support the second prince.

In the trial of Ning Yuanbo, it seemed reasonable and reasonable, but in fact, he aimed at the second prince and Lan Fei, and wanted to take the opportunity to cut off the second prince's henchmen, and then implicated the second prince and completely eradicated the second prince.

"Emperor, what's the matter with the emperor recently?" The Empress Dowager's face was yellow, showing an abnormal flushing, hoarse voice, as if being ground by sand.

The waiter's face was pale, and his mouth was trembling: "It's still, still old, like."

Before he finished speaking, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound. The emperor had already suffered a stroke, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, he couldn't speak well earlier, and words could still pop out of his mouth. Recently, I can't even speak. I opened my mouth, the corners of my mouth were drooling, and there was a sound of "ah ah ah ah" in my throat.

After more than half a year, it seems that I can't stand it anymore.

What's going on with the emperor, others don't know, how could the empress dowager not know?

The courtiers are busy vying for the power and the establishment of the reserve. If the emperor does not come forward, they will never be able to calm down. Empress Ning, Concubine Lan, Concubine Xu, none of them are vegetarians. The three parties are fighting each other, but they can still contain each other. But once the checks and balances are broken, it will lead to civil unrest.

And it was the advice of the imperial censor that broke the balance.

Someone couldn't hold back and wanted to attack Lan Fei.

Lan Fei probably never dreamed that she instructed the ancient imperial censor to lead the disaster to the east and put the fourth prince's northern tour on hold, but she didn't know that all this was just a trap.

"It's Ai, Ai Jia Xiao, I saw her..." Before he could finish a sentence, a big mouthful of blood poured out of the Queen Mother's mouth and nose.

"The Empress Dowager," Aunt Shen was startled and rushed to the bed. Seeing the Empress Dowager, she rolled her eyes and opened her mouth, but she was venting too much and not taking in too much, and shouted in a panic, "Come here, quickly Physician, please come in..."

The maid was startled, and his body suddenly climbed to the ground, but his mind kept echoing, the "she" in the Queen Mother's mouth.

He is a close friend of the Empress Dowager, so he naturally understands that "she" refers to Empress Ning.

The fourth prince's northern tour was a trap for Queen Ning.

Empress Ning first calculated that Miss Yu was "born to be born with a phoenix", and then she provoked the royalists, and then mentioned the fourth prince's northern tour.

Everyone thought that Queen Ning planned the fourth prince's northern tour to win over the hearts and minds of the people, to accumulate fame, and to further win over King Wu Mu Ding and all the officials in the north.

At that time, the reputation of the fourth prince's virtuousness will be well-known, and it is logical to marry the "daughter of Fengming" to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince had the support of the Yu clan, and Queen Ning took the fourth prince as his heir as a matter of course.

But who would have thought that this was a trick?

The second prince gained a lot of virtuous reputation in the court, but if the fourth prince came to the north, this "virtuous reputation" would probably change hands.

No matter how virtuous the second prince is, can it be compared to the credit of the fourth prince's descendant to the emperor's understanding of the hearts of the people?

The fourth prince was on the northern tour, and the second prince was the most affected.

In order to prevent the fourth prince from visiting the north, Concubine Lan asked the imperial censor to reveal the news that the emperor was seriously ill, and the matter of fighting for the reserve was put on the table, but Concubine Lan took the lead.

After restraining Queen Ning's use of the "Daughter of Fengming" to make a big fuss, and restraining the hands and feet of the fourth prince, Queen Ning could not manipulate the imperial court and make waves in the court.

The third prince, who couldn't support the wall with the mud, became easier to deal with.

Lan Fei's calculation was not wrong at all.

However, what I never expected was that Queen Ning made a false move.

Ning Yuanbo's case has never been tried. The empress dowager didn't want to, and it broke the balance of competition for the reserve. However, the ancient imperial censor made a breakthrough and broke the check and balance situation. Thousands of students demanded a strict trial of Ning Yuanbo's case.

The check and balance that the Empress Dowager had worked so hard to maintain was completely broken.

When hearing the news of the death of the Empress Dowager, Yu Youyao was having a meal with Yin Huaixi.

Yin Qi reported the news to Yin Huaixi: "The entire palace is under martial law. The Empress has come forward and will start to organize the funeral of the Empress Dowager."

Yin Huaixi glanced at Yu Youyao subconsciously.

Seeing her smiling eyebrows, her smile was gone, the chopsticks that she had just stretched out to pick up the vegetables paused, then took them back and put them on the plate.

Yin Huaixi asked helplessly: "It's a matter of time, why don't you even eat?"

Yu Youyao looked a little complicated: "That's right, it's a little too sudden."

Yin Huaixi took a piece of mushroom, put it in her bowl, and coaxed softly: "The sky is big and the earth is the biggest meal, try this dry pot with bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms. I specially searched for a cook who is good at cooking Fujian cuisine, and cooked the mushrooms. It smells of seafood."

Yu Youyao reluctantly took a few bites, but she couldn't take it anymore: "Actually, the Empress Dowager has never treated me badly for a long time. I was also sheltered by the Empress Dowager, and I am today, but I feel a little stuck in my heart."

Yin Huaixi also put down the chopsticks and chopsticks: "Well, it's a person I know. Usually, there is no interaction. When I suddenly learn that he has passed away, it is inevitable that I will also feel some sentimentality. It is also human nature."

Originally, it was quite complicated in my heart, but Yu Youyao didn't feel so uncomfortable when she called Yin Huaixi so simple and straightforward.

"Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, the court and the public are afraid that there will be complete chaos." Without the Empress Dowager to balance the court situation, the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become a foregone conclusion.
