Imperial City of Beijing, March day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In front of the Yinghua Palace, in front of the statue of the Buddha.

The Queen Mother, with the support of her personal grandmother, approached the statue of the Buddha step by step. There was a hint of anger in her eyes, but the words she could say seemed to be majestic with tolerance, and she couldn't hear a trace of anger: "The emperor is the lord of the world and the father of all peoples." What the emperor wants is only the blessing of all the people in the world. Therefore, the emperor's non-request is the biggest request. I think that the Buddha loves all living beings the most, and he can achieve his wish without the emperor asking for it. ”

Hearing that the sound was close to three feet behind him, Qin Siyang looked up to the sky and sighed, turned around and bowed to the Queen Mother: "What the Queen Mother said is that I know it." ”

In just a moment, the self-proclaimed self-proclaimed automatically changed from 'me' to 'me'.

The Queen Mother was speechless, her eyes were raised, she did not look at Qin Siyang, but at the same time that Qin Siyang bowed to her, she immediately turned around and walked towards the statue of the Buddha in the hall step by step. Seeing this, Gao Yueming, the great eunuch behind her, immediately rushed forward, quickly tore off the close-fitting scarf, and carefully spread it over the dilapidated and dusty kneeling mat.

The queen mother knelt down with this scarf and bowed respectfully to the statue of the Buddha three times.

"I remember that when the mourning mother's mother was still alive, she was the most respectful of the Buddha. When the mourning family was young, he often followed his mother to the temple to offer incense. Now that I think about it, how far away is that. Since the mourning family left the pavilion, it is difficult to see his mother again, and the matter of worshiping the Buddha in the temple has also followed away. Hey, this is the fault of the mourning family. The Queen Mother sighed to herself as she spoke, and then bowed down and bowed deeply to the Buddha, and then slowly stood up.

"The Queen Mother should not blame herself for her sins. Standing on the side behind the Queen Mother, Huang Sheng, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm print, bowed and replied, "Buddhism often says, 'Prajna is ignorant'. The implication is that the Buddha is ignorant and omniscient, and he does not need to speak to him, but he can also perceive everything in the world, and achieve the goal of knowing everything in the world without missing anything. Therefore, the Queen Mother cares about the wishes of all the people in the world, and the Buddha will also be able to perceive and know. Therefore, the slave thought that as long as the queen mother had her heart, she would be able to achieve her wish without always worshipping the Buddha. ”

"Yes, if you are ignorant," the Queen Mother laughed, and she laughed strangely, and she did not know whether it was because of this no-knowing and all-knowing remark that she was convicted of her own sin, or if it was for his own sake. After seeing a smile, he turned to face Huang Sheng and said slowly, "As Gonggong Huang said, Concubine Yun doesn't have to fast hard anymore and concentrate on worshipping the Buddha." As long as the heart is there, why do you have to work hard and be tired. ”

Hearing this, Huang Sheng was surprised at first, then immediately reacted, bowed down and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Yun's fasting is only for meditation and self-cultivation, and it is for private gifts, so it is necessary to practice penance." It can't be compared with the Queen Mother's heart for all the people, dedicated to the public, and has no time to worship the Buddha. ”

The Queen Mother frowned, in this way, she could also make this Huang Sheng bypass in a few words, she was really capable.

"Your Majesty, do you know this time?" The Queen Mother's gaze finally looked at the Emperor Qin Siyang for the first time since she stepped into the Yinghua Palace.

Qin Siyang was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "The child doesn't know. ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "Hasn't Gonggong Huang already said it, there is a Buddha in his heart, so why do you need to worship more." ”

Yes, the implication of this is that if you worship more, you must be like Concubine Yun, and she is worshipping for selfishness.

The emperor is the father of the world, how can he be selfish.

Qin Siyang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Having said that," the Queen Mother said suddenly, "Emperor Xianrenzong built this temple to worship the Buddha for the sake of the world. Although the result is natural, but can not lose the heart of Emperor Xianrenzong to respect the Buddha, in order to show sincerity, the incense of this Yinghua Hall is still lit up. ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother straightened up and said in a loud voice: "Spread the will of the mourning family, the Yinghua Hall will be open from today, and three pillars of incense will be burned in front of each Buddha, and none of the pillars will be broken." ”

"Yes. The eunuchs replied, and immediately some people said goodbye, ran out of the temple, and after a short time took incense, and then lit them one by one in front of the Buddha statues.

"The incense has been burned, and the respect has been expressed to heaven. Your Majesty, you should rest assured. Since this morning, you haven't eaten two meals, it's time to go back to the Qianqing Palace to rest, and don't let the people follow you to make things difficult. The Queen Mother urged urging.

A farce of the emperor's disappearance has passed.

The inner hall of Cining Palace.

The queen mother's anger has been furious since she heard that the emperor is missing early in the morning, obviously this anger is very great, and after finding the emperor, she still can't get rid of it.

"This matter can't be hidden," Fang Xinyi said, "The ministers outside the palace have now heard the exact news that the emperor can't go to the early court this morning, and they also know that the queen mother has a big fire for this, and she can't find it after looking for a morning." In the end, it was unintentionally discovered in the Yinghua Hall because of Concubine Yun's people. ”

"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it, and the mourning family didn't expect these things to make people worry-free. The Queen Mother said angrily, "It's just that this emperor, the mourning family just let go of him, and I didn't think of him, so I came again." I don't know what peace of mind I have?"

Gao Yueming bowed slightly: "Niangniang is not too careful." Could it be that the emperor was overwhelmed, and he couldn't breathe, so he turned his heart to the Buddha. ”

"What do you think?" the Queen Mother sneered, "It's a shame that you are still an old man who has been in the palace for more than ten years." ”

"Queen Mother-" Gao Yueming fell to her knees in shock.

"Hmph," the Queen Mother sneered again, "Have you asked, are there any damages to the doors leading to the Yinghua Palace in the Qianqing Palace?"

"I asked, and it's all intact. Gao Yueming replied.

"Then how did the emperor go from the Qianqing Palace to the Yinghua Palace, did he fly there?"

Gao Yueming lowered his head, he really didn't know the answer to this question.

"Xinyi, what do you think about this?" the Queen Mother turned her gaze to Fang Xinyi.

Fang Xinyi pondered for a while, and paused for a long time before saying: "Back to the Queen Mother, according to the ministers, there are only three possibilities for the emperor to quietly go from the Qianqing Palace to the Yinghua Palace. An emperor has a key in his body, the second is that someone has opened a convenient door for the emperor in secret, and the third is that there is a secret passage from the Qianqing Palace to the Yinghua Palace. ”

"Well, that's right. The Queen Mother nodded, but did not interject, waiting for Fang Xinyi to continue.

I only heard Fang Xinyi say again: "Among these three possibilities, the third is the most difficult and possible, and you can let it go." There are only the first two, and if there is each, there are two more problems. First, how did the emperor get the key? Second, how did he get it, after opening the door himself, and then re-locking the door after passing through it?"

"Yes, it's puzzling. The Queen Mother nodded again.

"So," Fang Xinyi continued, "the most likely is the second type, someone is secretly opening the door for the emperor." ”

"Who could it be, so bold, that dares to open this convenient door for the emperor?" said the Queen Mother.

Fang Xinyi's face was extremely calm, and she smiled at the anger of the Queen Mother.

"What are you laughing at?" said the Queen Mother.

Fang Xinyi bowed slightly: "Please forgive the minister for the crime of rudeness." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Fang Xinyi smiled again, but did not immediately answer the Queen Mother's question, but looked at Gao Yueming sideways, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Gao, why are you still kneeling?"

Gao Yueming lowered his head, although he had served the Queen Mother for twenty years, he was still deeply afraid of the moody nature of the Queen Mother. I don't have the courage of the queen mother's cousin. Regarding Fang Xinyi's jokes, he just didn't say a word, and lowered his head.

"Alright, Yueming, you get up. The Queen Mother finally spoke, "In the future, I will give more eyes to the mourning family." The mourning family likes your honest duty, but as an old man in the palace, who can you cure if you don't have a heart. ”

"Yes, the slave obeys the teachings of the mother. Gao Yueming kowtowed deeply again, and then stood up.

The Queen Mother snorted, glared at Fang Xinyi, and said coldly: "Xinyi, now you can say it, right?"

Fang Xinyi prostrated herself again and replied: "Niangniang said that the person who opens the door to the emperor is a bold person, have you ever thought that the one who dares not to open the door to the emperor is the real bold?"

The Queen Mother's face sank: "What do you mean by this?"

Fang Xinyi bowed and replied: "Thinking about this world, it should have been the emperor." And Niangniang, isn't she still afraid of others gossiping about the harem?"

The Queen Mother grinded her teeth hatefully, and after a pause, she said again: "That Xinyi, how are you doing?"

Fang Xinyi half-closed her eyes and muttered: "I want Niangniang to have no absolute military power in her hands, and secondly, there are no capable secret piles and secret agents. Until now, the north and south towns have not obtained a single one. Niangniang can make people obedient and have so much power in her hands, which all comes from the emperor. is because the emperor has been under the supervision of Niangniang, and others dare not oppose the emperor, and they can't oppose the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother had a calm face, staring at Fang Xinyi's eyes as if she was holding a sharp sword: "What do you want to say?"

"Niangniang will not be ignorant," Fang Xinyi avoided the sword in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and lowered her hand, "As long as one day, the emperor will get rid of Niangniang's control, or someone else will replace Niangniang's control over the emperor." Then, at that time, everything that Niangniang has now will be like fireworks in the sky, and after it is lit, it will disappear without a trace. ”

"You have just said that the mourning family is afraid that others will gossip about the harem and politics. The Queen Mother said coldly.

"Niangniang is now gossiping about others, and there is a lot of it. ”

"So it's okay to have more?"

"Niangniang still can't let go?"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "Xinyi, you say, whose world is it?"

Fang Xinyi tilted her head slightly: "Who does Niangniang want it to be?"

The Queen Mother sneered: "I think I have been married to the first emperor since I was fifteen years old, and I have never won any trust and favor from him. It's only because my mother's family is powerful that the first emperor has always kept me. And the people in my mother's family never asked me about my life after I got married, all they cared about was how much I could give them. Hehe, what about you, you stay by my side, aren't these the things you care about the most?"

"Mother-"

"Xinyi, you are really right, if there is no emperor, I actually have nothing. Even if the main source of my wealth, the more than 1,000 ships on the Yangtze River Shipping, their actual control is also under the control of your Fang family and the Tian family. (To be continued.) )
