Chapter 250
I heard Chu Xu say that it was about the selection of the new king.
The queen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Chu family will not be proclaimed emperor for the time being!
But he wants to support another puppet emperor from the Ji family!
However, the queen also knew that the Chu family would not be emperor for the time being....
The situation today is obvious.
The Imperial Clan can no longer control the Divine Dynasty, and the Chu Clan will take over Zhongzhou and become the new masters of Zhongzhou.
But what the process is is highly questionable.
If the Chu family directly proclaimed themselves emperor, not to mention how crazy the imperial family would counterattack.
In the end, the Chu family will definitely win!
And the Queen may also become a victim, and may die in some unknown corner....
But now it seems that the Chu family will choose a gentle method.
Don’t call yourself emperor for now.
In this case, the queen's safety will be temporarily guaranteed....
And the queen also knew that the so-called gentle method was actually not gentle.
There are still many forces left in the Imperial Clan, and the Chu family wants to squeeze out the value of the Imperial Clan.
He held the emperor hostage and ordered the princes to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
When the blood of the Imperial Clan is cleansed, the Chu Clan will take its place!
But what does all this have to do with her queen?
Although she is a queen, she actually has no feelings for the imperial clan.
She doesn't care what happens to the Imperial Clan!
As long as she and her son can be safe and sound!
A smile finally appeared on the queen's face:"I wonder which prince the Sushen Hou Mansion is going to choose to take the throne?
I am still the queen after all. If you have my support, things will be much easier."
Chu Xu chuckled:"Of course It's the second prince."
When the queen heard this, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
Second prince?
Her son?
The Chu family wants to choose the second prince to be the puppet emperor! ?
The queen's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
If we talk about it before, the queen would naturally have wanted this.
She wholeheartedly wanted to push the second prince to the position of crown prince, and in the future he would ascend to the throne and become the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now she really doesn't want to see this happen.
The current throne has become a hot potato!
The queen knew very well what would happen to the puppet emperor.
No matter how far the situation develops in the future, the second prince will definitely be sentenced to death!
When the time comes, she, the Queen Mother, will not be able to escape!
The queen's beauty turned pale, her expression was miserable, and she begged:"Why is it necessary for the second prince?
There are many princes of the right age in the Ji family. Wouldn't it be easier to control even a baby to take the throne?"
Faced with the queen's prayer, , Chu Xu just smiled.
Looking at the queen with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Chu Xu's face, the queen suddenly trembled.
I understand the Chu family’s plan!
This is to use the second prince to appease the hearts of the imperial clan!
Although the Imperial Clan is extremely weak now, there are still some residual forces after all.
If the Chu family held out a baby to ascend the throne.
Then it is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knows it!
Everyone can see that the Chu family wants to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes.
I want to slowly wear away the power of the Imperial Clan.
When the time comes, the Imperial Clan will inevitably not choose to fight to the death with the Chu Clan directly.
But the second prince is different.
When Emperor Zhou was still alive, the second prince was a strong contender for the throne.
He also has a large number of forces under his command who are loyal to him. He is also very scheming and has shown good qualities.
His status in the Imperial Clan is also extremely high.
If he ascends to the throne of God, then the imperial clan will still have a glimmer of hope and luck.
I think maybe the Imperial Clan can return to its peak!
And the Chu family gave the Imperial Clan a glimmer of hope, which would prevent the Imperial Clan from choosing to fight to the death!
What a profound calculation!
But in this case...The fate of the second prince can be foreseen!
The queen is also a smart person, and she understands the cause and effect in an instant.
She grabbed Chu Xu's hand with one hand and begged:"Xu'er, I watched you grow up.
Ji Yuan also played with you since childhood, and we have a very good relationship.
Please let us go!"
Chu Xu He sighed slightly, patted the Queen's jade hand, and said comfortingly:"Why do you say this, Your Majesty?
I can guarantee that as long as the Second Prince listens to my words,
I, the Chu family, will not kill him in the future. , and will even grant him a fief in the land outside the country.
Then he and his wife will be able to live in peace in the land outside the country."
When the queen heard this, she didn't believe it at all.
She has lived in the imperial palace for a long time and has lived in this intrigue and intrigue environment for so many years.
Know that the most unbelievable thing is a promise!
What is the significance of Chu Xu’s promise?
Are you sincere?
And even if it is sincere, it is inevitable that you will not change your mind in the future.
Looking at the queen who was still worried.
Chu Xu said lightly:"Your Majesty, you can trust my promise until everything is settled.
How much trouble can a second prince alone create?
There is no threat to our Chu family at all!
If we keep the second prince, we will still let him Our Chu family has gained a reputation of being kind to the previous dynasty, why not?"
The queen's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
And now it seems that the Chu family has chosen the second prince to be the puppet emperor.
Even if they don’t want to be, they can’t!
Now that we can get Chu Xu’s promise, it’s considered okay....
At least I have peace of mind.
Although the queen still didn't believe it in her heart, at least she no longer begged on the surface.
Seeing the queen gradually regaining her composure.
Chu Xu still had a gentle smile on his face.
But a sneer flashed across his eyes!
Let the second prince go?
One of the rules of the Chu clan is this.
Never let go of any possible threat! possible, existing, threat...
