Chapter 129 Persuading the Queen
After Yan Mou returned, he told Master Yan everything that had happened.
Then Yan Mou said to Master Yan earnestly, "Grandpa, you finally got it. I told you a long time ago that we, the Thirteen Great Lords, can dominate this country. You believe it now, right? From now on, you just wait. As long as Xiao Wenyan ascends the throne, all of us, the Thirteen Great Lords, will be crowned kings and given territories..."
When Grand Tutor Yan saw Yan Mou boasting with saliva flying everywhere, he felt a sense of loneliness.
Fortunately, he did not tell Yan Mou the truth. Everything he said to Yan Mou was three-tenths true and seven-tenths false to fool him.
He thought to himself, why is there such a big gap between people?
Xie Xunfeng is about the same age as Yan Mou.
Xie Xunfeng, a man who was called a fool, could actually play such a big game by himself, anticipating all possible and impossible things, and making plans...
And his grandson, who was called the emperor's favorite, was so stupid...
"Is it true or false what you said about Xiao Wenyan attacking His Majesty ?" Yan Song asked Yan Mou.
Yan Mou patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true. This kind of top-secret information can only be obtained by a noble Thirteenth Master like me... Grandpa, you won't be stupid enough to tell His Majesty. Let me tell you, if you tell it... we will definitely be killed. You have already made peace with Xiao Wenyan. We don't have to do anything now. When His Majesty dies, you can just talk, and you will still be the Grand Tutor in the future. As for me, I will be crowned a king. It can be regarded as a pride for our Yan family."
Looking at Yan Mou's expression, Master Yan continued, "Okay! But, let me tell you. I can support... but you better be smart about these things. You can just shout slogans, we can support them verbally. But don't do anything in action, do you understand me? If they fail... you will definitely die!"
After reading what Grand Tutor Yan said, Yan Mou waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, you are just worrying about nothing..."
…
In Kunning Palace
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Xiao Wenyan had already told his mother and Xiao Nalan about his plan.
"Mother, although I have been temporarily appointed as the crown prince, as long as Huangfu Chou is away, my position as the crown prince will be unstable. Now that someone is willing to help us... we must seize this opportunity. When my father, Long Yu, passes away, you will be the mother of the country! And I will be the ruler of a country, and I will not have to be suppressed by that old woman in the Taimiao." Xiao Wenyan persuaded the queen with a frown on her face.
Seeing that the Queen did not respond, Xiao Nalan also said, "Mother, Father does not take me seriously at all. He does not take you seriously either. Before, I was humiliated by that Xie Hanzi and that bitch Xiao Yiran, and he insisted on sending that bitch Xiao Yiran to the Queen Mother. Didn't he do it on purpose?"
"Also, just now I went to ask my father for a privilege, wanting to capture Xiao Yiran and interrogate him. But my father evaded the question, saying that the empress dowager was in seclusion and it was inconvenient to disturb her. I think he was just trying to protect that bitch Xiao Yiran... If my father hadn't died, he might have continued to protect that bitch... Mother, aren't you holding back?"
'Besides, if my brother becomes the emperor! Then, I might have a better choice. I thought Yuan Yuan was okay before. But after I met Fu Qian, the young master of Huitong Commercial Bank, I felt that Yuan Yuan, the Jiaodong Yuan family, was nothing! My brother became the emperor, and I have this status. I am marrying Huitong Commercial Bank. In the future, I will become the wife of Huitong Commercial Bank, and I will be a great help to my brother! Maybe, I can help my brother unify the world. If my brother can unify the world, he will definitely go down in history. And as the mother of the country, you will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books! "
Xiao Nalan said excitedly.
"Mother! If His Majesty hadn't died, the old Queen Mother would always be superior to you. That old Queen Mother, who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures every day, might be able to live for several more decades! Everyone keeps saying that you are the master of the harem, but everyone knows it in their hearts... The Queen Mother is the real master of the harem!" Xiao Wenyan said.
After hearing what Xiao Wenyan said, the Queen's expression became extremely ugly.
He slammed the table and said, "Wen Yan, is this risky?"
"Mother, we not only have the help of the Thirteen Great Masters, but also the help of Grand Tutor Yan. There is also our Wu family and the power of grandpa in the court! While my father trusts me now, as long as he falls, we can take over the government legitimately! While the old queen mother is still fasting, we should act in one go. When she comes out, it will be too late to stir up any trouble! If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again!" Xiao Wenyan said excitedly.
The Queen was silent for a moment, and then she made up her mind and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll invite your father to have dinner at Kunning Palace. Let's discuss Nalan's marriage!"
When Xiao Nalan heard the queen say this, she was filled with excitement and said with a hint of hatred, "Brother, when you take the throne, I will make that bitch Xiao Yiran suffer a fate worse than death! Let her eat shit and drink urine every day!"
