After saying those words, Empress Dowager Liu didn't have too much extravagance, she sat on the chair leisurely and tasted tea elegantly, as if she was not in a hurry at all.

When the first emperor was still in power, he once said that the ambition of the Pang clan is getting bigger and bigger, if he can't extinguish the arrogance of the Pang clan and take back the rights scattered in the hands of Pang Taishi, it will be the biggest threat to the Mo royal family.

Empress Dowager Liu is a woman at the same time, she is also a very ambitious, extremely eager woman for power, she sees the benefits of the Pang clan, of course, she also sees the Pang clan to her, or to the plans she wants to implement.

However, on the one hand, if the Empress Dowager Liu wants to succeed, she can't rely on her own ability alone, she needs a strong external force to assist; on the other hand, the Empress Dowager Liu is very confident in herself, thinking that she can afford to hold the Pang family, then she can also afford the Pang family, and she has never thought about whether she still has the ability to control this chess piece when the chess piece is getting bigger and bigger in her hands.

To say that Taishi Pang has no intentions for the Mo royal family, he can deceive the ignorant world, but he can't deceive the Empress Dowager Liu.

It's one thing to know this, it's another thing to ignore the existence of these, Empress Dowager Liu thought that she was the one who always controlled the trend of the chess game, but she didn't know that the chessboard had long been chaotic, and the development of the situation had long been out of her control.

In the end, Empress Dowager Liu is not naïve, after finding that things are beyond her control, she gradually realized some of her mistakes, although she lost a lot during this period, but at the same time she was not without gains.

When the filth hidden in the darkness was laid out to the surface, it was discovered that the most pitiful one was not Empress Dowager Liu, nor Taishi Pang, but the crown prince who was bent on supporting him to ascend the throne and become emperor before each other.

To put it bluntly, Taishi Pang wants to help the prince ascend to the throne, that is, his Pang family needs a puppet like the prince to stand in front of them, so that the Pang family can have a fair and honest reason to seek imperial power, so that the history books of future generations can be written well.

And Empress Dowager Liu wants to help the crown prince ascend the throne, not because of how much Empress Dowager Liu likes the grandson of the prince, the fact is just that she needs a very well-behaved and obedient person to be the emperor, so that even if the person sitting on the most honorable seat is not her, the person who gives the most noble order in the world is her.

In addition, Empress Dowager Liu has long been dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, that is, Mrs. Taishi, and thinks that Mrs. Taishi, as a person from Rongchang Bofu, no matter how much she takes care of her husband's family after marriage, at least don't forget that there is still her mother's family, right?

However, since Mrs. Taishi married Mrs. Pang, all her thoughts were on the Taishi's Mansion, not only did she not take care of her mother's family, but she also used the benefits of her mother's family to supplement the Taishi's Mansion, which made Empress Dowager Liu extremely angry.

All of this made the Empress Dowager Liu angry, however, the Empress Dowager Liu was a person who could bear it, even though she had already been extremely sorry for Mrs. Taishi in her heart, she also had deep sisterhood on her face and a very good relationship.

I thought that Empress Pang was an obedient person, but I never thought that Empress Pang was much more shrewd than her mother, Mrs. Taishi, and her scheming was not inferior to that of Empress Dowager Liu, an aunt, and even with Empress Dowager Liu, she was almost calculated into the pit by Empress Pang.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Liu was not completely confused, because of her cautious and cautious character, Empress Pang failed to really calculate what the Empress Dowager Liu was, but let the Empress Dowager Liu take the opportunity to tear her face.

Even if Empress Dowager Liu took care of Taishi Pang's ambitions and attempts, she knew this in her heart, and she definitely wouldn't point anything out directly, "The mourning family did make a joke with the eunuch, and I hope that the eunuch will not mind, this is just a little trick of the mourning family to ease the tension between you and me." ”

From the moment Empress Dowager Liu stepped out of the palace gate and walked to the gate of the Taishi Mansion with Gui Zhi, Empress Dowager Liu was destined to go forward bravely, and there was no turning back.

Now that she has made a decision and chosen to embark on this path, it is impossible for her to leave a way out.

Yes, her wish has come true.

defeated, she will never recover.

"Hahaha... Ha... When did Taishi's courage become so small, could it be that he was really frightened by the mourning family?" The meaning of Empress Dowager Liu's words was very obvious, she came to Taishi Pang with sincerity, so she would never allow Taishi Pang to fool her under her nose.

If it weren't for the relationship between her and him, Empress Dowager Liu would not have entered the door of the Taishi's Mansion at this time.

"As the Queen Mother said, what the old ministers are trying to do is for the Pang family to enjoy glory and wealth forever, and the other ministers dare not expect extravagance. ”

"Heh-" Empress Dowager Liu stared at Taishi Pang's face and sneered, but she didn't rush to deny him anything, just said casually: "Does Taishi dare or dare not have extravagant hopes?"

"Does the Queen Mother think there is any difference?"

"Taishi is a smart person, why do you need to let the mourning family say it so bluntly. ”

"It is precisely because the old minister does not understand that he wants to ask the Queen Mother for a lesson or two. ”

"If the master can't understand it, then he doesn't understand!"

At this time, when talking to the Empress Dowager Liu, Master Pang's brain was also running at a high speed, and he thought about it a lot before and after, and for a while he was really a little unsure of the Empress Dowager Liu's intentions.

In the past, the twist between them was the prince, but now the prince is under house arrest, which is equivalent to a waste chess, could it be that after today, the twist between them will really be replaced by King Chen?

In the past, King Chen's sense of existence was too low and too low, so that not only did King Chen's brothers ignore his existence, but even people who were so cautious and cautious as Master Pang never took King Chen in their eyes.

It wasn't until King Chen gradually showed his own edge quietly that at that moment, Taishi Pang suddenly realized that this King Chen was not inferior to the prince he had cultivated single-handedly.

It was also from that time that Taishi Pang faced up to the existence of King Chen.

Now, Taishi Pang is hesitating, does he really want to stand in the same boat as Empress Dowager Liu and use the power of the Pang clan to support King Chen on the throne?

If it is good that he knows something about King Chen, at least he can have a bottom in his heart, but he doesn't know anything about King Chen, since King Chen came to the fore, the information about King Chen collected in his hands is clearly lacking a lot, who knows whether the superficial information is true or false?

"Is the Queen Mother asking the old minister to make a choice now?"

"Is there anything else to hesitate about? Or is it true that what the Taishi is asking for is the Jiangshan Sheji of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom?"

"Please be cautious about the Queen Mother, the old minister has never had such a disobedient heart. ”

Listening to Taishi Pang's serious words, even though Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were full of contempt, she was still very cultivated and didn't say anything, "The mourning family believes in the Taishi, but time waits for no one, the Taishi should always give the mourning family a clear word, so that the mourning family knows that this trip is not in vain." ”

No matter how close Emperor Xuan is, or even alienated from the Empress Dowager Liu, in the final analysis, the Empress Dowager Liu is still Emperor Xuan's biological mother, and there is a way to know the son Mo Ruo's mother, and the Empress Dowager Liu faintly noticed that Emperor Xuan was about to make a big move.

There is not much time left for her, she has to fight wits with her son on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to make her plan go smoothly, and she must not allow the slightest mistake.

Empress Dowager Liu knows that King Chen has a lot of his own careful thoughts, but if it is said that King Chen is the Monkey King who has the ability to reach the sky, then she is the Buddha, no matter how King Chen jumps, she will not want to turn out her Five Finger Mountain.

"The Queen Mother knows that you are a big gamble. ”

"Opportunities and risks have always coexisted, there is no free lunch in the world, not to mention, not to mention the pie down, how to gain without paying, and how to get without giving. ”

The Queen Mother's words made the old minister powerless to refute. ”

If the Taishi is gambling with the entire Pang family, then why not the mourning family? If the mourning family does not want to get it at all costs, and only wants to be their own queen mother, then in the huge palace, who can be noble than the mourning family. ”

"Then how sure is the Queen Mother that His Royal Highness King Chen can ascend to that position?"

"If King Chen can get the help of the Taishi, his chances of sitting in that position will be greatly increased. ”

Obviously, Pang Taishi was very dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Liu's failure to answer his question positively, but the calm Pang Taishi did not show it, but then said: "The Empress Dowager also said that my Pang clan is powerful, who can guarantee that after His Royal Highness King Chen ascends the throne, he will not exterminate my Pang clan because of this?"

The stronger the relatives, the more dangerous the Mo royal family, Pang Taishi doesn't believe that the Empress Dowager Liu can't understand this, the same reason, can be selected by the Empress Dowager Liu, and the King Chen, who was raised according to the criteria of cultivating the emperor, how can he be stupid.

As long as King Chen is not stupid or stupid, then he has a brain and eyes, and he can't see the twists and turns in it?

"Since the mourning family can find the Taishi, how can they not give the Taishi protection, as long as the Taishi agrees to help King Chen ascend the throne, then the mourning family can naturally protect the interests of the Taishi after the matter is completed. ”

"There is no evidence. ”

"So the Taishi agreed to the proposal of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes dangerously, but she was not afraid that Taishi Pang would be unfavorable to her.

Since she walked into the Taishi Mansion with only one secret guard, she was sure that Taishi Pang would not dare to do anything to her.

"If the Queen Mother can give the old minister protection, the old minister seems to have no reason to refuse. "From the moment Master Pang surrendered to the feet of Dongfang Yunlong, the Pang clan was equivalent to standing on the edge of a cliff, and there was nothing worse than their current situation.

Since the crown prince is useless, supporting King Chen is not a way out, not to mention that Taishi Pang's original intention has never changed, if he can borrow the hand of the Empress Dowager Liu, maybe he can save some of his strength, so he will only refuse to win a deal without losing it.

"Although the mourning family only asks about the government, the situation of the previous dynasty is also known, combined with the current situation in Star Death City, I don't know what the Taishi thinks?"

"The old minister is now also an alliance with the queen mother, the interests of the queen mother are the interests of the old minister, and the interests of the old minister are also related to the interests of the queen mother.

"This matter is not in a hurry, the mourning family and the person you want to support is King Chen, you should always let him behave too, at least show some skills, let the Taishi know that it is not a loss to bet the treasure on him. ”

"This..."

"Besides, the mourning family has been out for some hours, and I have to go back to the palace as soon as possible to avoid extraneous branches. ”

"The old minister sent the queen mother. ”

The more at this time, the more Pang Taishi didn't want to be targeted by Emperor Xuan, although he verbally promised to the Empress Dowager Liu, but just like the Empress Dowager Liu said, at least he had to look at King Chen's ability, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be willing to put the entire Pang clan on the gamble.

Although he agreed to form an alliance with Empress Dowager Liu, it was simply to talk about it, and at the same time, he didn't lose anything to do, but if King Chen couldn't help him take a shortcut and couldn't bring him any benefits, Taishi Pang didn't want to spend all his thoughts on him.

In the Qianlong Palace, Empress Dowager Liu had just left the palace with her front foot, and the secret guard who monitored her every move reported her whereabouts to Emperor Xuan.

Prince Xuan entered the palace and reprimanded, Emperor Xuan, who had a good temper and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, saw that he said one sentence to the prince and pushed him ten sentences, saying that he was all kinds of eccentric Han Wang but did not pity him at all, and he always had prejudices against him, and he didn't realize where he was wrong, which made Emperor Xuan more and more disappointed in the prince and more and more angry.

He could tolerate his sons fighting openly and secretly for the throne, just because he had come from that stage, but he could never tolerate the existence of descendants who turned their backs on their ancestors in order to obtain the throne.

Who is Dugu Ruojia, the prince reached an agreement with her, and the price paid was the interests of Jin Fengguo and the dignity of the Mo royal family, which was the root of Emperor Xuan's disappointment with the prince.

However, the crown prince, who had completely lost his mind, could not see this, and he always felt that he was not wrong, thinking that Emperor Xuan was trying to make room for him to make room for King Han and find an excuse to depose him as the crown prince.

Who would have thought that he had just finished cleaning up the crown prince, and had just called King Han to explain the words in front of him, and the father and son had just discussed how to deal with it, and as soon as King Han left the palace, Emperor Xuan received the news that his mother and queen left the palace with a secret guard and went straight to the Taishi's mansion.

Well, that's good.

He gave Empress Dowager Liu opportunities again and again, and always forgave her for the sake of her being his mother, but what was her reward for his son, in her eyes, there was nothing left except power.

When the last trace of affection between mother and son was exhausted, Emperor Xuan no longer had any hesitation, only when their mother and son were exhausted.

"Grandpa Zhang. ”

"The slave is here, what does the emperor command. ”

"Come here with your ears, I have something to say to you. ”

When listening to Emperor Xuan's words, Gonggong Zhang's eyes kept widening and widening, and when Emperor Xuan finished speaking, his mouth opened wide, even eggs couldn't stop his mouth, "Do you understand what I said?"

The minion understood. ”

"Go ahead and do it!"

Mother, there should be a settlement between you and me.
