After all, Feng Ming had never seen such a big world, so as soon as he entered the door, he stumbled and almost fell in.

Gu Zizhong wanted to blame, but because of the Queen Mother, she couldn't speak at will.

The Queen Mother sighed a little: "You child is really rough, walk steadily." ”

Feng Ming hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

The Queen Mother looked at Feng Ming's appearance, but she was happy: "You kid is also quite interesting." Get up, I don't blame you. ”

Feng Ming stood up, wiped his tears, and trembled behind Gu Zizhong, not daring to say a word.

The Empress Dowager asked curiously, "Hey, didn't you just come to find Lord Gu?" As long as we can listen. ”

Gu Zizhong apologized and said, "What can I hide from the Queen Mother." What can she do with a little maid?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Well, Feng Ming, if you have anything, just say it directly." ”

Feng Ming looked at Gu Zizhong and said, "Queen Mother, Prince Gu asked me to enter the palace to find Lord Gu." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and then sighed again: "Alas, what should come will always come." If you should go, you will go. Zizhong, it's time for you to go back to your hometown. Let's go. ”

In the end, the words "let's go" were said very unconfidently, and the tone was weak.

Gu Zi listened to it in his ears, but it hurt in his heart.

She also knew that when she left the capital this time, she would say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

Looking at the Queen Mother's body and bones, it is really bad.

The next time Gu Zizhong comes to Cining Palace again, I am afraid that I will have to go to the grave of the Queen Mother to burn incense.

So Gu Zizhong didn't want to leave, he was really embarrassed and sad.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and all the benefits can't be attributed to one person, right?

Since Gu Zizhong got Zhu Shizi, he didn't think about anything anymore.

She had no choice but to agree, and prepared to go out of the palace with Feng Ming.

Suddenly, there was another voice outside the door: "The emperor has arrived." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly became energetic and said, "The emperor is here, help me get out of bed." ”

Gu Zizhong was closest to the Queen Mother, and she reached out to help the Queen Mother down from the kang near the window.

As soon as the Queen Mother sat on the chair, she saw the emperor come in with big strides.

Chen Chanjuan on the side was scared and trembled to the corner.

It happened to be the place where Gu Zi was staying.

The emperor was about to speak, but he couldn't help but glance into the corner.

He thought it was Gu Zizhong staying in the corner!

But who knew that there was a different person at this time.

It's Chen Chanjuan.

The emperor came for Chen Chanjuan's affairs, so when he suddenly saw Chen Chanjuan, he was really surprised, "Ah", and said, "Why are you here?"

Chen Chanjuan hurriedly "pounced" and fell to her knees again.

The emperor said helplessly: "You get up, but it scared me." ”

The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, aren't you gone, why are you back?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Mother, don't ask." You'll be clear right away. ”

After talking to his mother, the emperor shouted loudly outside again, "Yan Shizi, come in." ”

Yan Pingnan walked in with steps, neither humble nor arrogant, with a hero's demeanor.

But Gu Zizhong looked at Yan Pingnan with a calm appearance, but in fact, his heart had collapsed.

Who can not collapse in such a situation?

Yan Pingnan came over and saluted the Queen Mother and the Emperor in turn.

The emperor asked him to get up.

Yan Pingnan stood up and stood up straight, as if he was marching and fighting.

The Queen Mother stared at Yan Pingnan, "um" again and again, and said: "It is worthy of being my Ming Dynasty's fierce general, and it is like this at all times." Very good. ”

The emperor said: "Yan Shizi, I invited you here to tell you that after discussing with my mother, I decided to hand over the southern provinces to you to govern. ”

What kind of name is this?

Obviously, Yan Pingnan didn't understand, he looked surprised, but he also looked scared.

He is only a child in his early twenties, how can he govern half of the Ming Dynasty?

Besides, how could the emperor casually hand over the southern provinces to him?

Therefore, Yan Pingnan seemed a little confused, but after thinking for a moment, he knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, the last general will only lead troops, not govern." Please thank the emperor for his kindness, and ask the emperor to take back his fate. ”

That's right.

That's what the emperor thinks in his heart.

If Yan Pingnan agrees, it will be bad.

The emperor also tested him.

However, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the emperor's move is just pediatrics.

No minister will accept it.

Don't say that it is useless, even if it is meritorious, you must refuse.

Therefore, the emperor's sudden question not only surprised Yan Pingnan, but even the Queen Mother herself was surprised.

Promising small profits is not a threat to others.

The Queen Mother coughed and said, "Yan Shizi, you don't have to be afraid, the emperor is joking with you." Actually, my wife asked you to come over, because she has a very important thing to give you. ”

The Queen Mother didn't know that Yan Pingnan would come.

This is also the Queen Mother's temporary rescue.

Turning around and giving the female official a look, the Queen Mother turned back with a smile.

And the female officer went out.

The Queen Mother said: "How tired it is to stand on the side." Come and sit down. ”

Yan Pingnan didn't dare to disobey.

The Queen Mother took advantage of this effort to look at Chen Chanjuan all the time.

Chen Chanjuan hurriedly went out of the door, silently.

I don't know if Yan Pingnan saw it.

The Queen Mother smiled at Yan Pingnan, who had already sat down, and said, "Yan Shizi, are you still used to living in the south?"

Yan Pingnan shook his head and said with a smile: "I am the most comfortable to live in Jingshi." However, since the Ming Dynasty needs it, and the imperial court needs Pingnan and his father to guard Liangguang, then the last general will naturally do his best. Defending the frontier of the Ming Dynasty is what the last general should do. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly and did not speak.

Only then did the Queen Mother realize that the emperor had brought the contradiction to her side.

The emperor summoned Yan Pingnan, but he didn't speak himself.

The Queen Mother hurriedly continued: "Is your father okay?"

Yan Pingnan smiled and said: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, my father is fine." In the south, we have always been afraid that ocean-going foreigners will invade the coast, so the navy of the Ming Dynasty is hiding in the bay. My father would come over from time to time to see. ”

"Hmm. The Queen Mother praised repeatedly: "Yes, your family has made great contributions to the court, and the court remembers your kindness!"

In fact, Yan Pingnan invited merit.

The Queen Mother didn't ask him anything, he just said so much.

Gu Zizhong thought in his heart.

After a while, the female officer returned, still holding something in her hand.

The Queen Mother called Yan Pingnan.
