"Zhu Qiyu! Stop!"

Queen Mother Sun's body trembled, and she hurriedly screamed when Zhou Yu turned around to leave. She even lost her sense of control and ran after Zhou Yu, grabbing Zhou Yu directly.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. Everything I do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." Zhou Yu shook his head gently and said: "What if it's the Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Sun gritted her teeth, as if unwilling to do so: "King Xi, do you believe that I can prevent you from leaving this palace with just one order?"

Zhou Yu laughed: "I only know that the Queen Mother cannot stop me from walking out of this palace. As for whether I can walk out of the palace, I have to go out in person to know. Of course, I believe that there are still many people from the Queen Mother hidden in the palace.

But so what, how many people can hurt me?"

"The Queen Mother may have noticed that the gatekeeper outside has been changed, but did the Queen Mother know that the deputy commander of the Sun family you arranged had left the capital with the young and old, and happily betrayed many people and prepared to go to Jiangnan to become him?

You are a rich man, and all your servants are now in Jinyiwei Prison. Do you know that Ma Shun is Wang Zhen’s party member, and Wang Shan is Wang Zhen’s nephew.”

"I only need to arrange for them to do things. In order to ensure the lives of the young family members and to avoid being executed by the Nine Clans, they will desperately search for evidence that can bring down you, the Queen Mother. Ordinary things cannot affect the Queen Mother, but if it involves

The rebellion involves the secret affairs of the harem. Even you, the Queen Mother, may not have a good outcome, right? Now the rumors in the entire palace are not very favorable to the Queen Mother. Under such circumstances, how many people are still willing to sacrifice their lives for you, Queen Mother?

It’s impossible to really prepare yourself to be the emperor.”

"You have been in power for so many years. Hasn't the Queen Mother discovered that your son is really not suitable to be the emperor? In the first battle, three battalions of elites were lost, and the safety of the Ming Dynasty, the country, the country, and the lives of the people were all put at risk. This is the Queen Mother

The good emperor you taught."

"You!? King Tan, do you want this throne?" Empress Dowager Sun shook her head and looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid of the opposition of the people in the world, and are you not afraid of the swords in the mouths of the people of the world? Aren't you afraid of the historian's words in the book?

Do you have a note?"

"It's not me who should be afraid now." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "It's the Queen Mother who should be afraid. There are rumors in the capital that the emperor's brother is not the former emperor's son, but that his father's surname is Xu. The Queen Mother should know whether it is true or not.

False rumors make people believe it more, especially when the stupid things done by the emperor brother are not like those of the Zhu family."

"you!"

Zhou Yu bowed to Empress Dowager Sun again: "That's it for now. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"stop!"

"What else does the Queen Mother have?" Zhou Yu chuckled, as if he didn't care about the Queen Mother at all: "Because of the emperor's brother's fault, the whole capital was hung with white silk ribbons, and now the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty depends on this king alone.

I still have a lot of things to do. If the Queen Mother has nothing to do, I will leave."

Empress Dowager Sun gritted her teeth: "What exactly do you want?"

"A decree." Zhou Yu said calmly: "A decree written in his own handwriting. As long as the king ascends the throne and recognizes the queen mother as the queen mother and the emperor's brother, then his surname will be Zhu instead of Xu. The king is about to go on an expedition. If there is no queen mother,

According to Yizhi, there are only eunuchs and no emperor in the camp."

Seeing the unwillingness on Queen Mother Sun's face, Zhou Yu also said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I don't care if there is such a decree. I will definitely inherit the throne within ten days. No one can stop it. Queen Mother

You can’t do it either, but if the Queen Mother has the opportunity to regain control of the court after I go to war, I’m really looking forward to what the Queen Mother will do to me.”

"You! You are so treasonous!"

"Empress Dowager, you are the one who is treacherous." Zhou Yu laughed and said, "If the Empress Dowager ordered me to give you a glass of poisonous wine, would you accept it or not? Accepting it proves that you are guilty. Zhu Qizhen's identity has been revealed.

If you don't accept it, you will die immediately in Yexian camp. If you don't accept it, it will prove that you have evil intentions and are preparing to do treacherous things. Queen Mother, so what if you can control the entire palace. I don't need to control the palace, I only need to control this.

In one place, your attempt to seek power and usurp the throne can be confirmed."

"Queen Mother, if you sincerely want to overcome this difficulty after the Battle of Tumu Castle, I will also support you wholeheartedly. After all, I never thought of sitting on the position of emperor in the first place.

Queen Mother, you first blew the horn to enter the palace. I am just here to be a mascot and a spectator. Why do you want to point the finger at me? It is because you also understand that a country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty

If my brother is captured and the war starts again, it will be like establishing a new emperor. The most suitable person is only me, the king, so you want to suppress me and make me fear you. Only in this way can you continue to hold power after I ascend the throne."

"Queen Mother, do you think the courtiers can't understand what this king is doing? Why don't you think they stand up to stop it, why don't they advise, why don't they dissuade you? Your hand is too long, Your Majesty, and everyone is worried about you.

She will be the next Wu Zetian. If I am incompetent, I can only rely on the Queen Mother to take charge of the overall situation. But if I am capable, you, a female prostitute, dare to interfere in the government affairs. Who is the treasonous one?"

"I only want to ask the Queen Mother if this decree should be written or not."

Now Empress Dowager Sun is alone in the palace, and all her close friends have been replaced by Zhou Yu, leaving her alone and trapped in a tight siege.

And she could see Zhou Yu's current performance. She had to write this decree. If she didn't write it, the emperor would have died in Tumu Fort. If she wrote it, the emperor would still have a chance of survival.

What's more, what can Queen Mother Sun do now? She can't do anything with the Queen Mother staring at her, and Zhou Yu staring at her. Don't the ministers in the court know her current situation? No, they must know,

But no one came to visit, and no one spoke uprightly in the court. What does this mean? It means that the courtiers prefer her, the Queen Mother, to stay peacefully in the harem, which means that the courtiers really attribute the failure of the Battle of Tumubao to

She, the queen mother, was attributed to the dusty emperor.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as anyone with sense knows what the next battle represents, the emperor is in the enemy's camp and there is really going to be a fight. The Ming Dynasty has already lost before the war begins, so Zhou Yu

What he said is correct, he will ascend to the throne within ten days.

"My Lord... My Lord..." Empress Dowager Sun opened her mouth tremblingly, as if she was pleading: "King Xi, your royal brother..."

Zhou Yu glanced at the Queen Mother Sun: "Brother, the emperor died for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the strength of the Zhu family. To win this battle, Emperor Zhu Qizhen can only die. The Queen Mother should understand that the soldiers must win. The Queen Mother wants to

What I want is the emperor’s son, which I’m afraid I can’t do.

, but if all you want is a son, I will do my best. I understand the Queen Mother’s desire to be reunited with her son as a mother, but the Queen Mother is first and foremost a mother, so for the sake of her family, country, and world, the Queen Mother should also do it early.

Mentally prepare.”

After about half an hour, Zhou Yu left the Queen Mother's palace with a decree.

The content inside was written by Zhou Yu looking at it word by word. He can't use it now but he can throw it to someone who can use it.

As for the Empress Dowager, she finally gave him what he asked for before Zhou Yu went on the expedition. He was still scared to death of getting two copies of the imperial edict.

It's just that the Queen Mother Sun is always a thunder. If she doesn't deal with the thunder sooner or later, it will explode sooner or later. It is actually easy to deal with it, but she will definitely encounter a lot of resistance. There are some things that he can think about or make a fuss about, but he just does it himself.

No, even if he becomes the emperor, he can't just do whatever he wants. There are certain rules that he must abide by, otherwise he won't be able to sit in that position securely.

But if he could be allowed to develop well for a few years, the Empress Dowager Sun would probably end up sick and depressed because of longing for the late emperor.

In real history, Zhu Qiyu was very good at playing cards after he became emperor, but now it is Zhou Yu who already had a good hand and would naturally use each card to its best advantage.

Here, not long after Zhou Yu came out of the palace of Queen Mother Sun, a palace maid came to Zhou Yu tremblingly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu glanced at the palace maid, stopped the accompanying eunuch in the palace who wanted to scold the palace maid to leave, and asked: "I remember you, a person in the queen's palace."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone was still a little timid: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen asked her slave to invite Your Majesty."

"The queen wants to see me?" Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently: "Help me report to the queen. It is not appropriate for me to go to the queen's palace now that the palace is in chaos."

The little palace maid immediately knelt on the ground and begged softly: "The Queen is in the garden... Royal Garden, Your Majesty, the Queen asked the servant to invite the Prince to come over no matter what, otherwise she will break the slave's legs, please invite the Prince

I'm sorry, just go and see the queen."

Seeing the actions of the little palace maid, Zhou Yu frowned slightly, but he calmed down in an instant and then a smile appeared on his face: "Well, the queen should also be worried about the emperor brother, so I will go see the queen to reassure her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded gently, letting the palace maid lead the way but quietly gave the eunuch beside him a look.

It was that cold and ruthless feeling that made the eunuch who saw Zhou Yu's gaze shiver all over and nodded quickly.

Now is a critical period, and this maid actually knelt down and cried outside the Queen Mother's palace. Those who knew it knew that it was the Queen who invited her. If they didn't know, would they think that he was messing around in the harem?

Today's harem is not his harem. It would not be a good thing for him if this matter is spread out with added jealousy. The more it is at this time, the more Zhou Yu has to grasp the scale. It's just a pity for this maid, but

No matter what, you can't keep it.

It's not that he is cruel, but that this palace maid has done something wrong. Since she has done something wrong, she will be punished. By the way, she also warns those dishonest people in the palace. She can only kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

When Zhou Yu arrived at the Imperial Garden, he saw the queen standing up haggardly from the curtained pavilion. When the other party opened the curtain, Zhou Yu also stopped and stood outside the pavilion and hugged the queen in front of the pavilion.

Salute: "I have met the Queen."

"Don't be too polite, King Yin. I asked someone to light a charcoal fire in the pavilion to keep warm. King Yin will come in quickly to warm himself up."

Zhou Yu decisively refused: "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I can just stay outside the pavilion. If you have any questions, Queen, please speak up."

Empress Qian's face became more anxious: "King Yin is too polite. I just want to ask Yin Wang whether he really wants to send the emperor back to the capital this time. If he has any request, I have also raised a batch of gold and silver.

Jewelry, as long as it can be exchanged for the emperor, I can do anything..."

"Queen." Zhou Yu bowed and interrupted the queen's words, and said calmly: "There is no definite news yet as to whether your majesty is in Yexian's camp. Yexian is indeed going to be there soon in the name of sending the emperor back to Beijing.

When we arrive at Juyong Pass, if His Majesty is really here, the gold and silver collected by the Queen may not be enough."

The Queen quickly said: "That's enough, that's enough. I've prepared a lot. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way."

"Queen." Zhou Yu slowly stood up and looked at the queen, saying: "What if the first thing you want is the whole world? If the queen's gold and silver can't be used, you might as well lend it to your younger brother to comfort the loss.

People from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, please also ask the queen to know that Emperor Chengzu once said that the most powerful person in our dynasty has surpassed the eternity. He controlled the northern and western vassals without the fraternity of the Han Dynasty, the alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and the acceptance of the Song Dynasty.

Yearly coins are not gifts from brothers and enemies of the country. If my brother takes the gold and silver given to me by the Queen and gives them to Yexian, that would be a disgrace to our ancestors."

"Now that the emperor is in a state of instability, he wants to plot against the Ming Dynasty. I cannot negotiate with the bandits. If I really harm the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will do everything in its power to avenge the emperor. Queen, the garden is deserted.

As the storm got worse, he asked the queen to go back to the palace to avoid getting sick. If the emperor came back and saw the queen looking sick, he might blame his younger brother. My younger brother also thanked the queen for the people of the world for her righteous act and would definitely reward all the gold, silver and jewels.

"

"Come here, take the queen back to the palace and send all the gold, silver and jewelry that the queen gave to the soldiers to the military camp."
