Chapter 1804: Orphans and widows

In this hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Wang Hua and Yang Yiqing were both Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Seeing that neither of them wanted to retreat, they seemed to be waiting for one side to force the other side into the corner...

"Ahem..."

At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang finally couldn't sit still and she coughed twice.

These two coughs seemed very eye-catching in the hall, and finally stopped the quarrel between Wang Hua and Yang Yiqing.

The key to the problem lies in the Queen Mother.

Yang Yiqing understood more than anyone else, so he looked at the pearl curtain, but on his face, he still looked like Zhizhu was holding it.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed in her heart. She knew very well that at this time, she had to come forward. As soon as the bead curtain rolled up, Empress Dowager Zhang slowly walked out.

The civil and military officials in the court did not bow down to the lower court.

When the Empress Dowager walked to this Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was a taboo, and she could completely deem a woman to interfere in politics.

Of course, no one objected now because they were waiting for the Queen Mother's attitude.

The Empress Dowager Yang Yiqing bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Yang Yiqing with anger, and a cold voice sounded in the hall: "Yang Yiqing, you are also a person who has received the kindness of the late emperor. How dare you do this now?"

These words did not seem to have moved Yang Yiqing. He said with a stern face and said without saying a word: "It has come to this point. Although I dare not forget the kindness of the late emperor, my country's foundation has been shaken, and this is a last resort."

"It's a last resort." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled, but the smile was obviously cold. She continued: "Why, now the emperor is gone, the Ai family and the prince have become orphans and widows. You... can bully this way? After that, what are your plans?"

Yang Yiqing said: "I have been suffering from the new policy for a long time. Today, it is at this point that all the blame is on Wang Hua. Wang Hua bewitched Your Majesty, looked down on everything, colluded with Ye Chunqiu, and implemented the new policy without authorization, so that the people were in poverty and life were miserable. My ministers and others could do nothing. Only this is the only way. I beg the Empress Dowager to issue an order immediately, choose the son of the clan to take over, then depose Wang Hua, hand it over to the Ministry of Justice to discuss the crime, abolish the new policy, and to peace with the world."

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled again, but with a little sarcastic smile, she said, "So, how do you want to deal with the Ai family and the prince?"

Yang Yiqing said: "The Empress Dowager is naturally the Empress Dowager, but His Highness, the Crown Prince, is young and can be appointed as a prince. He will be a vassal today. The Empress Dowager is a daughter-in-law. The new king ascended the throne, and he will naturally be the mother of the new king. He should be supported by the new king."

Yang Yiqing only gave Empress Dowager Zhang one way, but in fact, there were two ways. As for the other way, he did not say that if the Empress Dowager refused to agree, the good and bad luck would be unpredictable, because no one could clearly explain what might happen next. Once the disaster came, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be a prince? And can the Empress Dowager still be the Empress Dowager?

Yang Yiqing's tone was obviously very tough. It was impossible to speak softly and softly at this point.

Of course, Yang Yiqing was not worried about any future troubles in the future, because as long as the new king could ascend the throne smoothly, he would become a minister of the dragon. Everything he said here today would become another interpretation, which was nothing more than Wang Hua’s unjust and the world was as dangerous as it was. At this time, Yang Yiqing tried his best to disagree and stood up to rectify the source, just like Zhou Gongdan and Huo Guang, protecting the country.

"So, you have even arranged the Ai family." Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled sarcastically.

Yang Yiqing stopped talking. He was not afraid of the Empress Dowager. What he had to do now was to wait for the Empress Dowager's answer.

Queen Mother Zhang was not in a hurry to come up with her answer. She knew that any choice she made next was difficult. If she advanced, there might be a bloody disaster, or it might be possible to let the prince ascend to the great treasure. Although retreating may not be the best result, she could seek peace. No matter how bad the prince was, she was still a vassal king, and she could finally have a lifetime of wealth.

She looked unrest on her face, but she was already weighing the risks in her heart, and she felt even more heartbroken. She really never expected that things would reach this point today.

Now orphans and widows are really bullied.

At this time, at Chaoyang Gate in the capital, a handsome young man with a heroic appearance arrived in turmoil. This person was Ye Chunqiu.

Back to the capital that had been away from for a long time, Ye Chunqiu had no time to sigh. It took only three days to go from Qinglong to the capital. During these three days, Ye Chunqiu did not dare to neglect for a moment. Today is the day for the court discussion. Ye Chunqiu rushed to Chaoyang Gate without stopping.

There was no tense atmosphere in the capital. He just brought dozens of followers. After passing Chaoyang Gate, he asked someone to ask, and only then did he know that the court discussion was still underway.

Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly arrived at the Wumen Gate. When the guards of the Wumen Gate saw Ye Chunqiu riding alone, got off their horses, and wanted to enter the palace. They quickly smiled and walked forward and said, "King Lu, why is Your Highness the King of Lu coming? Now all the officials are still discussing politics in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Your Highness the King of Lu wants to see the Queen Mother, I am afraid..."

Ye Chunqiu frowned and said, "Since I have come to the capital, of course I want to participate in the court discussion."

"This... please inform me." But the guard did not dare to agree to Ye Chunqiu easily.

Ye Chunqiu's eyes sank. This time the court discussion was very important. From the beginning, Ye Chunqiu was alert.

It was precisely because he realized the importance of this court discussion that he rushed over desperately, and he could no longer wait for the notification.

The situation in the capital is difficult to understand now. Since some people dare to spread bad news, there is no need to think too much. There will definitely be many backlashes. To put it bluntly, if someone really wants to force the palace, then he will definitely have some confidence. What is this confidence? Ye Chunqiu didn't know, but he knew that every minute and every second is very urgent, and he would not allow himself to wait or neglect.

So, Ye Chunqiu said coldly: "I have always been in the palace, and I don't need to report it."

The guard seemed hesitant: "But Your Majesty... Your Majesty has..."

"Go away!" Ye Chunqiu glared coldly, and a murderous aura was revealed in an instant. He pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist. What he was wearing was the Blao Sword and the Imperial Sword. At this moment, Ye Chunqiu was still interested in arguing with this person?

The guard looked at Ye Chunqiu's posture and said that he had no fear was false. At this moment, Ye Chunqiu was already straightening his chest and knocking him away without hesitation.

Ye Chunqiu was very skilled in martial arts. When he hit him, he seemed to have hundreds of pounds of force. The garrison staggered, but he did not dare to act rashly. During this hesitation, Ye Chunqiu had already entered the palace with great strength.
