Chapter Twenty-Six: A Word Flies South
"Hmph!" The queen mother, who was on purple-shirted crutches and dressed brightly, unexpectedly appeared in the Wei Mansion: "Emperor, you are not small, the mourning family should not say anything, but as the king of a country, you should have the majesty of a king, and beat the court officials, what kind of emperor are you!"
I don't know when, the guards with knives of the Imperial City Division have surrounded the Wei Mansion, iron-clad and iron-clad, and the soldiers are strict, His Majesty the Emperor From the moment he left the palace, the Imperial City Division had already informed Li Yuanhao's whereabouts to the Queen Mother of Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother put down the shower in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Under the signal of the Queen Mother, Zhao Duling helped Wei Haokun up, and the great eunuch didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he personally bent down and waved his sleeves to dispel the footprints on his body for the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, and returned to the Queen Mother from the beginning, like a loyal old dog.
"What the Queen Mother taught her was that her grandson knew her mistake. Li Yuanhao bowed his head and replied.
"I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, I don't know how to kneel?!" the Queen Mother scolded loudly, full of anger, and didn't give His Majesty the Emperor any face at all.
Li Yuanhao trembled, his hands were clenched, the vase in his hand fell to the ground, and it was shattered in an instant, the Son of Heaven knelt down in front of the minister, something that had never happened since ancient times, Li Yuanhao thought that he had a forbearant temperament, but today's matter, do you really want to kneel? Putting aside identity for the time being, only talking about personal dignity, you can't kneel.
"What's the matter, you can't lose your face?" The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, and the purple-shirted cane in her hand lightly slammed on the ground, making a crisp sound, "Hmph, Emperor, your thoughts, the Mourning family is very clear, it is nothing more than wanting to start with the imperial examination, the grass gray snake line, the veins are thousands of miles, and gradually gain a foothold in the imperial court, Tang Zongfei, Huang Hanting, Wang Siying, and Hu Hanbin are the chess pieces you put on the chessboard, and the waiting is to suddenly kill with the Mourning family in the middle and late stages, with a small and broad, with a decisive and unexpected effect." ”
Li Yuanhao's heart trembled, and he glanced at Wei Haokun, who bowed his head behind him, it turned out that he had already told the Queen Mother about the situation of the four people, and he was played around like a clown jumping off the beam, and he hoped to find a way out, hehe, it was really naïve and childish.
"The mourning family wanted to continue this game of chess with the emperor to see if these four people could grow into towering trees according to the layout, but when they got old, they lost patience and did not have the energy to play with your group of children. The Queen Mother, with the support of Zhao Duling, slowly sat on the main seat in the lobby:" The emperor doesn't have to worry, the lives of the four people, the mourning family will not take it, but at this moment, the four edicts in the name of the emperor have been issued, Tang Zongfei, a wealthy scholar in Liaodong, will be exiled to Ningguta, Hanzhong Hu Hanbin is expelled from the capital, and he will not be allowed to set foot in Tai'an City for 30 years, as for that Wang Siying, the mourning family specially let him go to the south line of the river to see the scenery of the border pass, by the way, the mourning family took pity on him and gave him an official and a half position, which is also regarded as an official of the imperial court, and the official position is also considered to be idle。 There is also that Huang Hanting, who has a good temperament, and the mourning family can't bear to punish him, so he will go home to be a teacher, and he will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for the rest of his life. ”
Li Yuanhao smiled bitterly in his heart, among the four, Wang Siying seems to have the best end, he has an official position, but the additional foreign official position is from the ninth grade, he can inspect the army and rectify military affairs in peacetime, and the main function in war is to take care of the army horses, which is the same as Sun Monkey's Bi Ma Wen, even if it is an annual Wan Dynasty Meeting, the world's officials enter Beijing, but the so-called imperial court officials and additional foreign commissioners are not qualified to enter Beijing, and the salary is less than half of the ordinary soldiers, Wang Siying is a weak scholar, where can he stand such and this, the bitter cold on both sides of the river, Wang Siying is expected to be unable to bear it, and it is very likely that he will die there。 There is also Hu Hanbin, who has a strong temperament, and it took 30 years to enter the imperial examination in Beijing, every year is torment and suffering for him, as for the remaining two, Tang Zongfei's wealthy background will help, and the end will not be too miserable, Huang Hanting has an optimistic temperament, but don't think about becoming an official in this life.
Invisibly, it was I who harmed the four people, my foreshadowing and forbearance, in front of the Queen Mother like a papier-mâché tiger, vulnerable, she should have expected such a result, but she was lucky, maybe the Queen Mother won so many times, there will be a negligence and slackness, but she was wrong, the Queen Mother's ancestors have always been very vigilant, and they are much more prepared in private than her.
"Emperor, the mourning family has been gracious to the four of them, so you have to know gratitude. The Queen Mother took two steps forward, "Just now the mourning family said, kneel!"
Kneeling, the two words sounded like a thunderbolt, echoing in the empty hall for a long time, like a heavy hammer hammer on Li Yuanhao's chest, but also in Wei Haokun's heart, he thought that the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor still had room for maneuver, but the reality told him that there is no family affection in front of power, and people's desires are endless.
Suddenly raised her head, Li Yuanhao stared at the Queen Mother, her hands were exposed because of the clenching, anger and unwillingness overflowed her chest, as if she was going to kill someone in the next moment, ten years ago she once held the hand of the old man in front of her to ascend the throne and call the emperor, sitting on the Jinluan Palace, she almost fainted several times, and the shoulders of the old man next to her were relied on for her, and now ten years have passed, she is already a head taller than her, but the two have gone to the opposite side of each other.
Zhao Duling's figure flashed, blocking in front of the Queen Mother, in case Li Yuanhao rose up to do something out of the ordinary, the Queen Mother patted the other party's shoulder, signaling to get out of the way, and the big eunuch bowed his head and retreated.
Looking at Li Yuanhao's angry eyes, the Queen Mother's tone was still indifferent: "The emperor is already so tall, a head taller than the mourning family, but just now the mourning family said, kneel!"
Li Yuanhao slowly closed his eyes, his clenched hands slowly relaxed, his knees weakened, and the Son of Heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty knelt heavily on the ground and slowly lowered his head, no one could see her expression clearly.
Won again, won completely, the queen mother of the Great Wei State sitting in Cining Palace is still the ancestor of her word, and she still controls the power of life and death in the world, including Li Yuanhao, the son of heaven.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied, with a long-lost smile on her face, wrinkles piled up like a mountain, a pair of eyes like blades narrowed slightly, she slowly stretched out a hand, and put it on Li Yuanhao's head, the Son of Heaven has reverse scales, those who touch it will die, the prince has a false neck, and the offender will die, so what? Even if the Empress Dowager of Dawei, who has believed in "my life is up to me, not by heaven" all her life, even if she dies of old age in Cining Palace one day, she still firmly believes that "man will win the sky, and the mourning family is the one who wins the sky."
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ....... "The Queen Mother let out a happy laugh, as if there was a clear stream flowing from her body, indescribably comfortable, slightly bent over, close to Li Yuanhao's ear, she said in a voice that only two people can hear: "You are too tall, so the mourning family wants you to kneel, because the mourning family does not like to look up, only like to look down." Yes, you are a daughter, but if you think that this is your life talisman and the scruples of the mourning family not to attack you, then you are very wrong. To tell you the truth, the mourning family has not abandoned you, but it has not been ...... It's just enough. ”
The Queen Mother stood up straight, took her hand away from Li Yuanhao's head, wiped it on His Majesty the Emperor's shirt very casually, as if she was afraid of getting her hands dirty, and looked at Wei Haokun on the side: "Wei Aiqing, there is no shortage of power in the Wei Mansion, women and money are vulgar things, the Wei Mansion is more than the Imperial Palace, and the mourning family doesn't know what to reward you for thinking about it, so it makes the mourning family embarrassed." ”
"The old ancestor is serious, as a minister of Great Wei, he should be loyal to the royal family, and Weichen should do. Wei Haokun said flatteringly.
"Wei Aiqing's words are very popular, the mourning family doesn't appreciate you anything, if Zifeng is tired of playing outside in the future, he can directly enter the court as an official, and the position of the Hanlin Academy is reserved for him, and the position of the household servant is as follows. The Queen Mother said lightly, and her body had already left the hall.
"Weichen sends off the Empress Dowager!" Wei Haokun knelt down again with a puff, splashing dust on the ground.
With the departure of the Empress Dowager, the Imperial City Division withdrew from the Wei Mansion with a well-trained sword, and the unique Xiudong knife hit the Flying Fish armor, making a crisp sound, the sound gradually disappeared, and the Wei Mansion was quiet, but Wei Haokun did not stand up, because His Majesty the Emperor was still kneeling there in the hall, bowing his head and not speaking.
I don't know how long it took, Li Yuanhao sighed faintly, held the chair next to him with one hand, and slowly stood up, because she knelt for too long, her legs were numb and she didn't feel it, she rubbed her knees, gently beat the dust on her body, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the hall with her feet.
Wei Haokun felt that His Majesty the Emperor had left, and raised his head boldly, his head had not been fully raised, and the face of His Majesty the Emperor who had gone and returned was imprinted in his eyes, Wei Haokun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head, because he saw a silent bright smile of His Majesty the Emperor, standing not far away and looking at himself quietly, everything around him was still, only the handsome smiling face was dynamic, but it was a little inexplicable horror when it fell into his eyes.
His heart trembled for a long time, there were no punches and kicks, and there was no harsh reprimand, Wei Haokun thought that there was a hallucination, and when he looked up again, His Majesty the Emperor had already walked out of the hall, standing in the courtyard and raising his head slightly, facing the sun, maybe the sunlight was too dazzling, His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand to cover it, stepped on the sparse door panel, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The priest knelt for a long time, until the sunlight turned a corner and changed the direction of the illumination, and then he stood up tremblingly.
The housekeeper hurriedly helped forward, Wei Haokun sat on the chair in the hall, thinking about it for a long time, he always felt that he seemed to have taken a wrong step, but the reality told him that he walked exceptionally accurately, and he could even be described with precision, attached to the queen mother, away from the emperor, but there was a feeling of palpitations haunting his heart, and he couldn't go away for a long time.
In the past, His Majesty the Emperor used drastic means to leave a shadow in the heart of his nephew Wei Zifeng, but it was a small measure after all, but today, His Majesty the Emperor's bright smile also left a shadow in his heart, and there must be something hidden behind that smile, but the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine can't catch it.
"Hey!" Wei Haokun sighed, stood up, slowly paced back to the study, pondered for a long time, and then picked up the pen and wrote "The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor is stiff again", and then tied the note to the sharp claws of Hai Dongqing, untied the chain, and opened the window.
Hai Dongqing opened a pair of sharp eyes, shook his wings and rushed into the sky in an instant, and then went all the way south, disappearing in an instant.
