Chapter 145 His Majesty has a wife Although autumn has not yet entered, the palace of King Yong Yong has a solemn look.

Only the Queen Mother and Princess Anguo knew about the monarch's serious illness. The Queen Mother originally wanted to close the palace door and suspend court affairs, but Princess Anguo refused.

Inside the screen, the imperial doctor administered acupuncture to Zhao Zheng, removing the remaining poison bit by bit in order to reduce the damage to the body.

Several ministers were kneeling outside the were not waiting for the diagnosis and treatment results of the imperial doctor, but quarreling with the Queen Mother.

The position of prime minister in the imperial court is currently vacant, and the highest-ranking official is Feng Jie, the imperial censor.

He was tall, with a square face, high cheekbones, thick eyebrows and short beard. He was dressed in black cross-collared dark clothes. He faced the Queen Mother and said with a worried expression: "Now the imperial court is sending troops to Zhao State, the war is stalemate, and the military reports are coming one after another. Although the commander-in-chief Wang Jian has the right to act expediently, he still needs your majesty to make decisions at critical moments. If the capital does not convey your majesty's orders for a day, the generals may become suspicious; if they know that the monarch is seriously ill, the morale of the army will be even more unstable."

"The Ai family thinks so too," the Queen Mother looked around and said, "That's why the Ai family said that the Ai family can temporarily take charge of the government. All documents and memorials must be sent to the Dazheng Palace."

"Your Highness, it is true that you are familiar with political affairs," Feng Jie said boldly, "but how do you know how to direct war? Wang Jian is smart and cannot be fooled."

"Nonsense!" A folding fan fell towards Feng Jie, grazed his forehead, flew past, and landed on the ground.

Feng Jie shrank his head and remained silent.

After a while, Tingwei Li Tonggu couldn't help but said: "In addition to the war in the west, the country is now unifying the carriages and tracks, and is building Chi Road. Your Majesty ordered the ministers to take charge of this matter, but regarding the counties, counties, and counties that the Chi Road passes from east to west, north and south, Important matters such as the width of the road still need to be decided by His Majesty. I think we can wait until His Majesty wakes up to discuss these matters."

It means that you don’t understand the military affairs, and I don’t leave domestic political affairs to you.

The Queen Mother was furious, but she no longer had the folding fan in her hand. She glanced at the map of the country drawn on the screen, and remembered that she had started from a humble beginning, and had never seen any hardships in her journey until she finally reached the position of Queen Mother.

We must not let the royal power fall by the wayside today when our son is seriously ill.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother turned to look at the door.

Her carefully selected chamberlains were dormant there. Just waiting for an order, those people would rush in and chop off the heads of these disobedient ministers.

Kill one to make an example to others.

However, before the Queen Mother could make any move, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the screen: "I'd better do it."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked towards the screen and saw only the ink-stained picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, with a woman standing behind it.

She is of slim stature, with wide sleeves hanging low. A horizontal hairpin is inserted into the bun of Wangxian's Nine Hairpins, and seven skillful jadeite flowing clouds hang down from saw her moving slowly and lightly, walking out from behind the screen, and the hall suddenly became quieter.

Most people here have seen Jiang He.

Knowing that she is the princess of Qi, knowing that she once married His Majesty on behalf of Jiang Yuheng, knowing that she is a descendant of Sun Wu, knowing that the wedding ceremony being prepared inside and outside the palace is still for her.

But it was the first time for everyone except the Queen Mother to see her face so close and without any hesitation.

nice.

Her beauty is not flattering, nor is it beauty, elegance, and majesty also imply murder. She is so beautiful that it is thrilling, yet so beautiful that it makes people surrender.

The ministers couldn't help but lower their heads. Only one person felt that such beauty was a bit dazzling.

The Queen Mother of the Yong Kingdom looked at Jiang He and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"

Jiang He looked around the palace and said leisurely: "I serve Your Majesty in the inner room. I heard you guys say that we don't know how to decide the war in the west, and we can only wait to build Chidao. I thought, come on."

She said condescendingly: "I can handle the important military matters that you can't handle; I can handle the construction of fortifications that you don't understand; in addition, you can also handle matters related to money, grain, coinage, measurement, writing, calendars, etc." Everyone came to inquire about me. When I am in the palace, the court will not stop, the palace will not be empty, and the government orders will not be issued. Everything in Dayong will be as usual until His Majesty wakes up."

Jiang He's voice echoed in the palace, frightening the souls of the courtiers and slowly gathering them back together, making the Queen Mother's facial features distorted as if she was trembling in the water as she looked at the flowers.

"Princess Anguo!" She raised her finger and pointed at Jiang He. "You and His Majesty have not yet been married. How can you, a princess from a foreign country, preside over the state affairs of Yongguo? Why do you have it?"

The minister in the palace who had just been subdued by Jiang He's words seemed to have finally come to his senses.

By the way, Jiang He is from Qi State.

Could this be Qi's conspiracy?

Why is she a woman who has not yet married His Majesty? "That's it." Jiang He took something out of his sleeve.

That is a piece of blue field jade.

It is four inches in diameter, with five dragons crossed on it, and eight seal characters engraved on the front: "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

It is from the Yong Kingdom, and it is a jade seal passed down from the Kingdom of Yong.

Seeing the seal is like His Majesty's presence in person.

The courtiers in the palace left their seats and knelt down, touching their heads to the ground to salute.

The Queen Mother stood up with a look of great shock. Her eyes went back and forth between the faces of Yuxi and Jiang He several times, and finally couldn't help but sternly said: "You are forcing the palace! How could Your Majesty give you the Yuxi?" "I gave it to you a long time ago?" ." Jiang He said, "As early as after Wang Jian and other soldiers were assassinated outside the city, His Majesty entrusted the jade seal to this palace for safekeeping. From then on, I participated in the review of all memorials, and they were all stamped by me. Seal."

"The Aijia don't want to listen to your words. Li Wenzhou - where did Li Wenzhou go?"

Li Wenzhou, the chief chamberlain, heard the call and immediately walked in from outside the hall and knelt at the door.

"What happened to Yuxi?"

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen Mother," Li Wenzhou took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it, "Your Majesty has a personal decree here. If Your Majesty rests due to illness, Her Majesty Princess Anguo can temporarily take over the affairs of the court."

The anger welling up in the Queen Mother's heart was aroused even higher by Li Wenzhou's words. She quickly walked a few steps and stood in front of Li Wenzhou, grabbed the document and opened it.

It's really Zhao Zheng's handwriting on it.

No more doubts now.

The Queen Mother stood in the palace, her anger, worry and fear made her uneasy and she almost fainted.

She couldn't believe that Jiang He would treat Zhao Zheng sincerely.

After all, even I, as a mother, cannot love and protect my son wholeheartedly.

This son, who had been away from home since he was a child, was withdrawn by nature and was afraid of and alienated from her.

She also didn't believe that Jiang He had no doubts about Yong Guo.

She is the princess of Qi State. Even if it is not for her mother country, as long as she has a little selfishness, she will make plans for herself while controlling the government.

What will happen to Yongguoguo then?

The ancestor of the Jiang family, Taigong Wang, was the founding official of the Zhou Dynasty. He was someone who could replace the king.

Jiang He looked at the trembling Queen Mother standing at the entrance of the palace, and suddenly felt mixed emotions.

She knew the weak mother-son relationship between Zhao Zheng and the Queen Mother, and also knew the Queen Mother's concerns.

Although the Queen Mother has now lost power in the court due to Zhao Zheng's deliberate planning, after all, many matters in the palace still rely on the Queen Mother's arrangements.

Jiang He also thought that one day he would be a mother and would watch his son grow up, trusting his wife even more.

The hardness and indifference born of Zhao Zheng's fainting softened and warmed her up.

After thinking about it, Jiang He approached the Queen Mother under the gaze of the ministers and saluted the Queen Mother.

"Your Highness," she said with a forced smile, "if you don't want to believe that Your Majesty trusts me to handle the affairs well, then you can take it as it is that Your Majesty trusts me as the mother of his unborn son. , I won’t have any second thoughts about Yong Guo.”

The queen mother was startled.

Jiang He's words are really convoluted.

It wasn't until Li Wenzhou reminded her with a smile, "Your Highness the Queen Mother, Princess An Guo is happy," that the Queen Mother opened her mouth and then looked at Jiang He's belly, as if seeking confirmation.

"Happy!"

"She's pregnant!"

"Your Majesty has a daughter-in-law!"

Noisy voices gradually sounded in the hall, and the ministers couldn't help but look happy, because the panic caused by Zhao Zheng's serious illness faded away, and they were talking about the mixed situation.

Your Majesty has a queen, and Yong Guo has a queen, so this lineage will not be cut off.

Even if His Majesty dies, they will assist their youngest son to take over the throne and work hard to ensure the longevity of the country.

"The Royal Physician..." The Queen Mother's voice trembled as she looked outside and said, "Quickly call the Royal Physician..."

She wanted to hear the imperial doctor's congratulations with her own ears, she wanted to ask how long it had been, and she wanted to look at the chamberlain's notebook to confirm from the date Jiang He went to bed that he was indeed the monarch's heir.

Although those confirmations are nothing more than stacking beds on the bed and building a room in the house, they are redundant and unnecessary.

She knows best what kind of person her son is.

How could her son let others get ahold of his wife? But the Queen Mother always had to do something to calm her excited and joyful heart.

She looked at Jiang He with tears in her eyes and couldn't help herself.
