It's true!

Xianzong made a last order. After realizing that he had not had enough time, the Deng family began to fight and wait for an opportunity to move. Xianzong, who was worried about his youngest son, forced himself to issue a last order, and the will allowed Prince Zhaohua to succeed to the throne.

However, because the Empress Dowager favored her youngest son more, she concealed the will after Emperor Xianzong passed away, and then took advantage of the situation where Rouran invaded the country and supported Zhou Jin in the name of a proton to support Yingzong ascend the throne. However, if this is true, there is one thing that cannot be explained!

Since Xianzong had a bad relationship with the Empress Dowager, he knew that the Empress Dowager loved his younger brother more and was wary of the Deng family, so he made this will. Then he should have thought that after his death, the Empress Dowager and the Deng family would be very likely to support his younger brother in seizing power. By then, Zhou Jin, who was still young, would have to be slaughtered. This will was the last guarantee he left to Zhou Jin. So why did he hand over the will to the Empress Dowager who could not protect Zhou Jin's interests?

This will was not handed over by Emperor Xianzong to the Ai family!

Emperor Xianzong loved his only son, Prince Zhaohua, so how could he hand over the will to protect Prince Zhaohua's interests to her mother whom he could not trust?

The Empress Dowager touched the will, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little sarcastic. Even though Xianzong did not hand over the will to her, the will was still in her hands. Xianzong tried every means to guard against her biological mother, and finally chose to believe outsiders and not her biological mother. But what was the result? The result was not as she wished.

Emperor Xianzong could not trust the Ai family, so how could he hand over such an important thing to someone he didn't trust? So Emperor Xianzong chose a lot of choices and finally chose someone he thought he could trust! The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and showed infinite ridicule.

Is it Empress Dowager Huixian? Xu Shu thought of something, and a long-standing doubt in her heart finally solved. The identity of Empress Dowager Huixian and the open and secret struggles between the Fu family and the Deng family have always been explained in the end. All of this was exchanged for the Fu family's interests by Zhou Jin.

That's right, the last person Emperor Xianzong chose was his empress, now Empress Dowager Huixian! Although the relationship between Emperor Xianzong and Empress Dowager Huixian was not deep, Emperor Xianzong respected her very much. Moreover, Prince Zhaohua was adopted to Empress Dowager Huixian, because Emperor Xianzong thought that the interests of Prince Zhaohua and Empress Dowager Huixian were one. For his own interests, Empress Dowager Huixian and the Fu family would also do their best to assist Prince Zhaohua!

Why is that will the will in your hands?

Except for the Empress Dowager Huixian handed over it herself, Xu Shu couldn't think of a second possibility. The Fu family betrayed Zhou Jin from the beginning.

Silly kid, why bother to ask the Ai family if you guessed this? If anyone else doesn’t give it to the Ai family, the Ai family will not know that there is such a will, and they will not rob it, right?

So was it really given to you by Empress Dowager Huixian?

Yes! The Empress Dowager nodded.

Why? Why was Empress Dowager Huixian willing to hand over the imperial edict?

Empress Dowager Huixian knew that this will was the only thing that could protect Zhou Jin's interests and even personal safety, but she still handed over the will. Empress Dowager Yi Tai has always been biased. At this time, she handed over the imperial edict means that the Empress Dowager's ambition has improved a little. Once the Deng family holds great power, how could she get it? No matter what, the benefits that the Deng family can give to the Fu family are far less than the benefits that Zhou Jin can ascend the throne to the Fu family!

What else can it be for, of course, for power and for the benefit!

If it is for the sake of profit, Prince Zhaohua ascended the throne, the benefits she could get as the queen mother should be more than the benefits she could get for Yingzong to ascend the throne!

If the emperor Xianzong's will only write about the succession of Prince Zhaohua ascended the throne in his will, it is indeed true, but the content of the will is not only this!

The Empress Dowager finally launched the will. Because it was properly preserved, the will looked brand new, but if you look carefully, you will find that the handwriting on it has already revealed the old atmosphere.

At that time, Prince Zhaohua was still young, and the king was weak and the ministers were strong, which was very unfavorable to the country. In order for Prince Zhaohua to hold the throne, Emperor Xianzong appointed four ministers of the auxiliary state in the will. The Fu family was only one of them, and one of them was the top scholar in the Wenzong Dynasty. Lord Qiao Zhiqiao, who was serving as the attendant at that time. Among these four ministers of the auxiliary state, Lord Qiao, was the oldest, so he should be the leader!

So the Fu family was dissatisfied? If the Fu family had no ambition, they would not secretly support Zhou Jin.

As a relative of the foreigner, how could the Zheng family be satisfied with their ministers? What the Zheng family wants is to let Empress Dowager Huixian rule from behind the curtain, but Emperor Xianzong made a decision to assist the minister, and the Zheng family's plan was ruined!

But even so, Empress Dowager Huixian should not dare to resist the order! As a relative of the Fu family, even though they are not qualified enough, given their identity, the Fu family can at least be on par with Lord Qiao and the Qiao family. It seems that there is no difference between competing with the Deng family, and the former is even more beneficial.

Among the four ministers of the auxiliary state, one is the deceased Duke Rong Qi, who is the father of Prince Zhaohua's biological mother Zhenfei!

Now Xu Shu finally figured it out. When Prince Zhaohua ascended the throne, he would not only be granted the title of Empress Dowager Huixian as his legitimate mother, but also the title of the biological mother Zhen Concubine Zhen. The father of Zhen Concubine and Empress Dowager Huixian's brother were both ministers of the state. In this way, there would be one more person on par with the Fu family, and the Fu family would have even fewer benefits, which was much different from what the Fu family expected.

The fourth minister of the auxiliary state should be from the Deng family!

The Empress Dowager nodded, she was the elder brother of the Ai family who had passed away!

So the Fu family and the Deng family joined forces to squeeze out the Qiao family and Qi family. The four people shared the benefits equally to two people, and each person doubled their gains. Could it be that the Fu family would choose to betray Zhou Jin? When the benefits that Zhou Jin could ascend the throne were not as good as the benefits that Yingzong had brought, how could the Fu family, who was eager for power, not know how to choose?

The Emperor Xianzong actually made a very thorough arrangement. The four auxiliary ministers belonged to different factions of power, supervising and restricting each other, protecting Zhou Jin's interests to the greatest extent. However, he ignored the darkness of people's hearts and forgot that people can do many shameless things for the sake of their interests.
