It was dark, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly, and the stars in the imperial city were eclipsed, a city that never sleeps! The imperial city was filled with patrolling guards and busy servants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There are many soldiers outside the imperial study, and they are heavily guarded, and it is no wonder that Dongfang Zheng in the room is discussing with Dongfang Xun about the Western King's plot to rebel.

"As you said, Sun Xuan is really willing to betray his biological father?" Dongfang Zheng, the supreme man of the Eastern Dynasty, had a solemn face, his brows furrowed with a big pimple, and he did not trust Sun Xuan's surrender.

"Whether it's true or not, now I have to give it a go!" Dongfang Xun replied.

"Is there any movement in Jiang Zhenlou?" Dongfang Zheng then asked.

"There is no change in Xihuan for the time being. Dongfang Xun replied truthfully that there was no news of any change from the spies in Xihuan City.

"Since you are married to Jiang Zhenlou's only daughter, he will naturally weigh his actions. Dongfang Zheng said, and continued as soon as he changed his words: "You also have to be more careful in your actions, after all, she is Jiang Zhenlou's only daughter, and she can't provoke him now." ”

"I know. Dongfang Xun replied.

"What I have to worry more about now is the Sura Kingdom, and the King of the West has secretly contacted the King of Sura many times. I am worried that Sura will help the king of the West to rebel. "Speaking of the eastern politics of the Sula country, it is quite a headache, Sula is a nomadic people in the northwest, the people are fierce, brave and good at fighting. Even when the old emperor was in power, the battle with the Sura Kingdom was finally won, but the price paid was very large. At that time, the defeated Sura Kingdom signed a letter of surrender, promising to submit to the Eastern Dynasty and never invade. In recent years, after Luo Jin, the king of Xinsula, ascended the throne, he continued to make trouble in the frontier, and the ambition of the wolf son was clearly revealed.

"Luo Jin is violent and belligerent, and it is only a matter of time before he attacks. According to the spies, although the king of the West had contacted him several times, he had not responded for a long time. Although I still don't understand what King Sura has intentions, this time King Sura came to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, and he must have a plan, as the minister expected, he will definitely threaten our Celestial Empire with the rebellion of the Western Royal Party. "Dongfang Xun will analyze the intentions of King Sura to come to the dynasty.

"What Brother Xian thinks is exactly what I think, King Sura has been delaying to cooperate with the King of the West, I am afraid that it is just to get benefits from us. He wanted the snipe to compete with each other and reap the fisherman's profit for himself. In this way, he is a smart man. "Dongfang Zheng's heart is extremely worried, no matter what the result is, the Sura country will eventually take a big advantage, and then the loss of land will be small, and the loss of the country will be big. And if he wants to win over Luo Jin, I'm afraid that his desire will be difficult to fill.

"If the king of the west raises an army, Sura is afraid that he will take advantage of the fire to rob him. Now it is necessary to step up the disintegration of the Western King Party and take back the military power as the best policy. As long as there is no chaos between the DPRK and China, Sura will naturally not start a war easily. Dongfang Xun said.

"Yes, the right Sun Ruhai is the key to each, and taking him down is equivalent to cutting off the hands of the West King, and it can also severely damage the West King Party. The situation is urgent, and it is necessary to implement it as soon as possible. "Dongfang Zheng knows that the longer the time drags on, the longer the hands and feet of the Xiwang Party will stretch, and the situation will be more severe.

"The minister has a plan, please rest assured. "Dongfang Xun has already agreed with Ye Su on a plan.

"You do things, I am naturally at ease. Now that the whereabouts of the third brother are unknown, you are the only person I can trust, and the Western King Party will definitely be unfavorable to you, so you must be more careful in your actions in the future. "Dongfang Zheng should indeed be worried, in just one month, the King of the West has sent ten groups of dead soldiers to assassinate Dongfang Xun.

"Please rest assured that the emperor will be cautious, not to mention that there is Ye Su by the minister's side. "For the threat of the King of the West, Dongfang Xun can be said to be fearless.

"Ye Suwen Taowu is strategic, has the talent of a general, and is not inferior to his father and eldest brother, but it is a pity that he is unwilling to enter the court as an official. "With Ye Su helping Dongfang Xun, Dongfang Zheng felt a little relieved.

"Ye Su is chic and uninhibited by nature, unfettered, and there are many rules in the court, so he does not want to be an official. "Dongfang Xun knows Ye Su very well, and the environment of the imperial court is indeed not suitable for him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't enter the court! He is also by your side to contribute to the court. Dongfang Zheng turned to relief, and in fact it was.

"Tomorrow, the king of the west and the envoys of various countries will arrive one after another, and the internal and external security of the imperial capital will be handed over to the virtuous brother, so don't let the villains take advantage of it. Dongfang Zheng's words were loud and clear.

"Obey the order!" Dongfang Xun's answer was equally sonorous and powerful.

"With my brother by my side, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Let's go to the Imperial Garden to see the Empress Dowager and them!" Dongfang Zheng changed his gloom and showed a relaxed expression, Dongfang Xun walked out of the imperial study with him towards the Imperial Garden.

**The lights in the imperial garden are brilliant, the night is brighter than the day, some of the flowers in the garden are budding, some are in full swing, some are lonely and withering, no matter which one it is, but because of this light, they are plated with a layer of hazy and ethereal beauty. In the center of this sea of flowers, a beautifully carved and magnificent octagonal pavilion, the golden plaque and gold characters inscribe the three big characters of the incense pavilion. The palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion stood on both sides in a regular manner, so as to be sent to them. The most supreme women of the Eastern Dynasty, Empress Dowager Jiang Shuyun, Empress Lu Yuanmin, and Beiwang Concubine Li were sitting in front of a table of delicacies, talking and laughing. "These days, the palace and the imperial grandmother have been talking about my sister for a long time, but I didn't expect to come today. Things in the world are really so coincidental!" The queen's smile was like a flower, and the red gold-woven palace dress and the phoenix hairpin made of red gold made her extraordinarily bright, but she couldn't hide the loneliness in her eyes.

"That's it! Concubine Li comes to the imperial city more often in her spare time, you haven't come for a long time, the mourning family and the queen miss it very much!" The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, although she was full of silver hair, but she was in good spirits, her eyes were bright, and she didn't seem to be an old man.

"The concubine lives in the palace, but the relatives are thousands of miles away, thanks to the love of the queen mother and the queen mother, the concubine has always regarded the queen mother and the queen mother as close relatives, and often wants to come to the imperial city to visit, but the imperial city has a lot of rules, and the concubines are not called to dare to come at will. Concubine Li sat and blessed her body, and said obediently.

"Look at me! Bring the sign of Ci'an Palace. The Empress Dowager's voice was loud, and her personal eunuch Fu came to her respectfully holding a slap big golden sign.

"Concubine Li, you hold the sign of Ci'an Palace, and you can enter and leave the imperial city at will without being summoned in the future. The Empress Dowager glanced at Fushun and turned to Concubine Li.

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager for her grace!" Concubine Li was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and knelt down to thank you. You must know that there are not many people in the government and the opposition who have this honor, but it is a supreme honor for her.

"Great, my sister can often come to the imperial city in the future to be with the palace and the queen mother. The queen also congratulated Concubine Li.

"Empress Dowager Xie!" "Empress Dowager Xie!" Concubine Li smiled and knocked on the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

"Concubine Li, hurry up and calm down!" As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, a palace maid immediately stepped forward to help Concubine Li.

"Concubine Li! It's normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Xun'er is still a prince, he asked the mourning family to register the concubine, the mourning family is approved, you have to think about it. "The Empress Dowager has lived for 80 years, and her heart is like a mirror. What's more, she is still a woman, she understands all the thoughts of women, and she knows that Concubine Li's heart must be unhappy. Now that the country is in an eventful time, she can't let the back wall of the Beiwang Mansion catch fire.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubines understand that the prince is a daughter, and more people should serve him. The prince is busy with political affairs all day long, and all the big and small affairs in the house are handled by the concubines, and now that many sisters are helping, the concubines can also breathe a sigh of relief. Concubine Li's answer reflected her generosity on the one hand, and her virtuousness on the other hand.

"My sister can have such a mind, the prince of the north is really blessed!" The queen praised Concubine Li in due course.

"Queen Xie's praise is false!" Concubine Li blessed her body and smiled shyly.

"Hehe! It is really a blessing for the mourning family to have two granddaughters-in-law who are so knowledgeable and reasonable!" The Empress Dowager smiled heartily when she heard the words of Concubine Li and the Empress.

"Qi Qi Empress Dowager, regarding the matter of the princess's concubine, the concubine has a request, I hope the Empress Dowager will approve it!" Concubine Li saw that the Empress Dowager was in a good mood, and seized the opportunity to say.

"Oh, what did Concubine Li ask?! "The Empress Dowager couldn't figure out Concubine Li's mind for a while.

"The princess and concubine are a major event of the sect, the number of rituals is complicated, and the concubines are also from the past, knowing the stakes, and it is related to the dignity of the royal family, and there is no room for mistakes, so I implore the empress dowager to teach the concubines the new concubine etiquette. Concubine Li said solemnly.

"That's the case! You are the princess's concubine, and it is right to teach the concubine etiquette, so why do you still ask for an order?" the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, she was originally afraid that Concubine Li would embarrass the King of the North.

If there is no will, the concubines are afraid that it will be difficult to convince people, and the new concubines will be perfunctory. Concubine Li's words made people feel that she was wronged in front of the new concubine.

"So! The mourning family will let Fushun go to the palace tomorrow to announce the decree, and you will wait in the palace. The Empress Dowager immediately understood Concubine Li's thoughts. She thought to herself that the king of the north ** loved the new concubine and snubbed Concubine Li, and Concubine Li must have been wronged in her heart. At this time, she should support Concubine Li and frustrate the new concubine's spirit.

"Empress Dowager Xie Longen!" Concubine Li's face immediately flew to Caixia.

"My sister is not only generous, but also so considerate of the royal family, so virtuous and virtuous, she can be called an example of a woman in the world!" the queen praised Concubine Li even more.

"With the queen's mother in front of her, how dare the concubines be exemplary and exemplary. Concubine Li bowed her head and replied.

"Good, good, good, all of them are good granddaughters-in-law of the mourning family!" said the Empress Dowager with a smile of satisfaction.

"The emperor has arrived!" With the father-in-law tone of the duck's voice, Dongfang Zheng and Dongfang Xun had already come to the Liuxiang Pavilion in the Imperial Garden surrounded by a group of servants.

"Your Majesty, is there any news for you?" After the intricate etiquette, the five people finally sat down at the table, and the Empress Dowager asked Dongfang Zhengdao.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, although I sent people to visit everywhere, there is still no news of the third brother. Dongfang Zheng replied seriously.

It has been 13 years since he left the imperial city, and he has been frail and sick since he was a child, and now he is wandering outside with uncertainty about his life and death, which really makes the mourning family feel heartbroken. The Empress Dowager was sad for a while when she talked about Dongfang, and it was difficult to control herself, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Don't be sad about the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the King of the South has his own natural appearance, maybe you will come back to celebrate your old man's birthday when you are eighty years old!"

"Will it be?" the Empress Dowager asked earnestly after listening to the Queen's words, putting away her tears.

"The concubines often heard the Empress Dowager say that the King of the South was well-behaved and sensible, and she guessed from this. "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be serious, and the queen's heart was furious.

"If the mourning family can still see each other in their lifetime, they will die without regrets!" The Empress Dowager understood the queen's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please be relieved by the Empress Dowager, the third brother is not a blessed person, and he will definitely be alive safely! I will definitely find him and let him return to the imperial city," Dongfang Zheng solemnly promised the Empress Dowager.

"The minister also thinks that the third brother will return to the imperial city safely, please let the empress dowager rest assured. Dongfang Xun echoed.

"Hmm~ Since you all said so, the old bones of the mourning family must last until Yan'er comes back. The Empress Dowager felt a little relieved.

"Back to the emperor and the queen mother, the imperial meal has been prepared!" the father-in-law with a duck voice replied in a girlish voice.

"Now that the imperial meal has been prepared, our family should enjoy it well, everyone should not be formal, let's eat quickly!" the Empress Dowager swept away the gloomy mood and said with a smile.

"Yes!" everyone said yes, but they still kept the etiquette. During the banquet, the staggered planning, pushing the cup and changing the lamp accompanied by laughter, if it is an ordinary family, it is a harmonious and good family.
