Chapter 488 [The Legend of Zhen Huan 23]

In the following days, the emperor hardly set foot in the harem. However, suddenly, a great change occurred in the previous dynasty: many officials were demoted, and a group of young officials were promoted. Among them, several were Youyou's confidants.

Such a large-scale change of people in the previous dynasty made many people feel uneasy. Families with daughters or relatives in the harem sent letters to the palace, asking what had happened.

Yinzhen knew all about these family letters, but he didn't care. Because these people were just a group of grasshoppers in autumn, they were no longer important. At this moment, the most important thing in his mind was not these trivial matters, but his dream of establishing a queen. After careful consideration, Yinzhen had chosen an auspicious day and was waiting for the imperial edict to be issued and officially announced in the front court.

On this day, Yinzhen conspired with several old uncles, his younger brother and the officials he had recently promoted to discuss the matter of making Youyou the queen. They agreed that the old uncle would first propose the idea of ​​making the queen, and Yinzhen would pretend to be hesitant and finally agree.

When the court was in session, Yinzhen sat majestically on the dragon chair and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any important matters to report? If not, I will adjourn the court."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old uncle from the Aixinjueluo clan slowly walked out of the queue and said respectfully: "This old minister has something to report."

"I wonder if Uncle Wang has anything to say?" Yinzhen pretended to be confused and asked. Of course he knew what Uncle Wang was going to say, but he still had to pretend to be clueless.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a queen for a day! There must be a queen in the harem who is both virtuous and talented and can command the six palaces! Your Majesty, please appoint a queen as soon as possible!" said Old Uncle Wang sincerely.

"I know that too, but who should be made the queen?" Yinzhen continued to play dumb.

"I think that Empress Shufei is gentle, kind, and talented. What's more rare is that she is sincere to the emperor. Therefore, I feel that Empress Shufei is fully capable of shouldering the important task of being the mother of a country!" Uncle Wang finally expressed his thoughts.

"Oh? Uncle, do you think Shufei is suitable?" Yinzhen asked without comment.

"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Shu is indeed the best candidate. She is not only beautiful, but also smart and most importantly, she is loyal to Your Majesty. Only such a woman can become Your Majesty's virtuous wife and assist Him in managing the harem." Uncle Wang replied.

"Okay, I understand. What do the other ministers think?" Yinzhen turned and looked at the ministers.

"I second the motion. What Uncle Wang said is absolutely right. The Concubine Shu is dignified and generous, and is kind. She is indeed the best candidate for the Queen." Prince Guo Yunli was the first to stand up and support Uncle Wang's proposal.

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

For a time, there were voices of agreement in the court, and most ministers agreed to make Concubine Shu the queen.

Yinzhen was secretly happy in his heart, because he knew that these ministers acted according to his mood.

However, he still had to act a little embarrassed: "Since everyone says so, I can't let you down."

"I, this old minister, think it is inappropriate." Longkodo stood up and said.

"Oh? Then I wonder who do you think is worthy of being the mother of a country?" Yinzhen asked with a frown.

"Since ancient times, the most virtuous and the eldest son have always been appointed as the empress. The third prince Hongshi is the emperor's eldest son, so his biological mother should be made the empress." Longkodo said.

"Humph!" The old uncle Wang snorted coldly and said, "Although Concubine Qi is the biological mother of the third prince, she is only from the Han army banner. How can she be worthy of the position of queen?"

"The Empress Shufei is different. She was born in the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Manchu military flag and has a distinguished family background. She is more worthy of being the mother of this country." Uncle Wang continued.

"General Nian, what do you think?" Yinzhen suddenly turned and looked at Nian Gengyao. He wanted to hear what Nian Gengyao thought and whether he would want his sister to be the queen.

"Your Majesty, I think what the old Prince Qi said makes sense, so I second the proposal to make Concubine Shu the empress." Nian Gengyao quickly stood up and saluted and replied. He was actually a little disappointed. He originally hoped that his sister could become the empress. But now it seems that the emperor is obviously unwilling to let a woman from the Han Army Banner become the empress, so he can only give up this idea and support Concubine Shu. In this way, he can not only please the emperor, but also sell good things to Concubine Shu, killing two birds with one stone.

Yinzhen was very satisfied when he heard what Nian Gengyao said. He felt that Nian Gengyao was a smart man who knew how to judge the situation and would not affect the overall situation for personal gain. In contrast, Longkodo seemed a little tactless.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but glare at Longkodo again. He thought to himself: "This Longkodo, relying on being my uncle, always likes to act on his own and doesn't take me seriously at all. If I listen to him this time, I'm afraid he will be even more presumptuous in the future."

Therefore, Yinzhen simply ignored Longkodo's opinion and said directly to Su Peisheng: "Since the ministers all agree, then Su Peisheng will announce the decree."

Su Peisheng responded quickly, then took out an imperial edict that had been prepared long ago from his arms and began to read it.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that the universe is in its proper place, and thus has the power to support and carry. The sun and the moon are blessed by Heaven, and they are able to rise and rise. Only internal governance is the foundation of human relations, and the sound of the emperor's rule is the basis of the king's rule. The great rules and regulations are followed, and the ancient rules and regulations are raised. I ask you, Niuhulu Yaliqi, a noble family, and a famous ancestor. In the early years of welcoming the bride, the ceremony was completed at the Wei River; you were selected and praised by the Hezhou. You are respectful and virtuous, and follow the rules of the history books, and respectfully follow the standards of the Henghuang. You are filial and respectful, and you greet and warn at the crowing of the cock; you are kind to the lower class. , and the prosperity and prosperity will flourish in the foot of the unicorn. With the help of the Yi family, you will be crowned as the empress. Hereby, in compliance with the benevolent order of the Empress Dowager Chongqing, I hereby appoint you as the empress with the golden seal and golden seal. You should follow her instructions, show the correct etiquette, respect the spring sunshine of Changle, encourage the frugality of summer and winter, promote the elegance of Kunning, praise the diligence of day and night, lead the six palaces with respect and frugality, and receive many blessings with benevolence. The gentle wind spreads to the boudoir, the silken clothes are worn in the cocoon house, and the moral teachings are spread throughout the world; forever follow the heavenly blessing, and welcome the great joy. Respect you! "

The others who were opposed in their hearts then realized that the emperor had already chosen someone and this was just a formality. They all felt that the emperor was so insidious and that it was useless even if they opposed it since the imperial edict had already been written.

Everyone had no choice but to say, "Congratulations to the Emperor, and also to Lord Niu Hulu for becoming the father-in-law of the Emperor."

Niuhulu Alinga was completely confused about all this. What on earth had happened? How could his daughter suddenly become the queen?

After expressing his gratitude, Niuhulu Alinga went straight home without paying any attention to the ministers who tried to get close to him on the way. He now had only one thought in mind, which was to go home quickly and discuss with his wife what the emperor was going to do.

After returning home, Niuhulu Alinga ignored everyone and went straight to the study. He knew that at this time, only his wife could understand the doubts and uneasiness in his heart.

After entering the study, Niuhulu Alinga sat down on a chair and said to his wife, "Madam! I am really confused today. I have no idea what happened."

The wife looked at her husband's bewildered expression and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, my husband. Tell me slowly. What happened that made you so confused?"

Niuhulu Alinga took a deep breath and said slowly: "Today in the court, the emperor suddenly announced the news of establishing a queen. The key point is that the queen candidate is our daughter Yaliqi. However, I didn't hear any news before. It all came too suddenly. I really can't figure out the reason."

After hearing this, the lady frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "My husband, what does the emperor mean by this? Youyou has only been in the palace for a short time, how come she has been made queen? Does the emperor have other plans?"

Niuhulu Alinga nodded, indicating his agreement with his wife's point of view, and then asked: "Then what do you think is the meaning of the emperor's doing this?"

The lady thought for a while and replied: "The emperor may have done this to consolidate his power and position, and chose to cooperate with our Niuhulu family to strengthen his own power. Or he may want to use the power of our Niuhulu family to implement some policies or solve some problems."

After hearing this, Niuhulu Alinga said thoughtfully: "Well, Madam, what you said makes sense. But why didn't the emperor inform me in advance? Such a sudden decision makes me feel very passive."

The lady smiled and explained, "Perhaps the emperor hopes to demonstrate his authority and decision-making power in this way. If I tell you in advance, it may cause unnecessary trouble and controversy. Doing this now can avoid a lot of trouble and catch other ministers off guard."

After hearing this, Niuhulu Alinga sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, no matter what, this matter cannot be changed. Madam, do you want to ask the queen in the palace?"

The lady thought for a moment and said, "Then I will send a message to Youyou to ask about the situation."

Niuhulu Alinga clenched his fists and said firmly, "Okay, Madam, don't worry, I'll leave it to you."
