One Thousand and Ninety-Four: The Aftermath
The news of the Empress Dowager's funeral spread to Jinling at a very fast speed.
Inexplicably, Zhao Xi, who received the news, was relieved.
To be honest, the Empress Dowager has always taken good care of him, when he was young, if he hadn't been protected by the Empress Dowager, he would probably have to suffer a little, and whether he ascended the throne or later decided to let Li Qian guard the capital, he also got the support of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is not a woman who likes to be involved in politics, he should have no fear of the Empress Dowager, but he feels like a mountain pressing on his head, so that he has no way to breathe freely.
The death of the Empress Dowager is only good for him, and there is no harm to him.
Zhao Xi thought about it, and felt light.
He took a pair of scissors and pretended to trim the leaves of the orchid next to him, and cut the originally good pot of orchids in a mess, but he himself felt pleasing to the eye, and the palace maids who served praised the orchid for its good cutting.
Zhao Xi didn't care if it was true or not, laughed, and rewarded a few people who served in front of him.
At this moment, the entire palace knew that Zhao Xi was in a good mood. Coupled with the news sent by the capital, everyone also guessed Zhao Xi's attitude towards the Empress Dowager.
For a time, the remarks that said that the empress dowager was bad filled the entire harem.
Liu frowned when she found out, and the punishment didn't have a good effect, so she had to let someone reveal the matter to Zhao Xiao.
Zhao Xiao has been staying in Fujian under the pretext of training since he broke up with Zhao Xi that time, and after getting the news, he scolded Zhao Xi fiercely in his heart, and recruited staff to talk about it.
Everyone thinks Zhao Xi is incredible. Some staff members even said: "Anyway, Li Qian is also the son-in-law of the royal family." In the past, there was a mountain of the Empress Dowager, and he didn't dare to think about it even if he was ambitious. Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, and he is debt-free and light, how can the emperor think that the Empress Dowager died well? What does the emperor think? Won't the people in the pedestrian department and the cabinet remind the emperor?
If Li Qian wants to support his own troops, it will be the biggest threat to them.
Zhao Xiao slammed the secret letter in his hand on the table, and sneered: "His brain has never been straight. ”
In the past, he personally cleaned up Han Tongxin, and even took care of his housework.
He said, "Has the title of the Empress Dowager been decided, and where are you going to be buried?"
A staff member hurriedly said: "It is said that the word 'Chengren' was decided, and it was suggested by the county lord of Jianan when he played it." The emperor did not reject the meaning of the county lord, and still used these two words. As for the funeral, the county lord meant to do a big job, keep the system for 100 days, the emperor used the month as the day, and kept it for 27 days, and the ministers were equal to the common people. The emperor seems to disagree, and wants the ministers to follow for twenty-seven days. What will happen specifically, Jinling and the capital are still arguing, and it seems that there are officials and ministers who have beaten them. ”
Zhao Xiao sneered and said, "Then we'll watch from the sidelines." It's none of our business in Fujian. Besides, with the temperament of the county lord of Jianan, if she wants to do something, she will definitely be able to do it. When Zhao Xi found out that the Empress Dowager was still sitting on a mountain on her shoulders, he knew that it was amazing!"
The staff member stopped talking.
Zhao Xiao said impatiently: "You either say it, or put the words back in your stomach and never make a noise." ”
The staff member was criticized by him by name, and he was very unhappy. Thinking that he had talked to Zhao Xiao like this before, and even said something more embarrassing, he didn't see Zhao Xiao lose his temper with him. Today, he only hesitated for a moment, and was arrested by Zhao Xiao as a typical, Zhao Xiao took gunpowder, right?
He suddenly thought of Zhao Xiao's inexplicable farewell when the county lord of Jianan left Jiangnan that day, and suddenly felt as if he understood something. He couldn't help but bow his head, and his tone was a little deliberate that he didn't even notice, and said, "I think that with the presence of the county lord of Jianan, the Li family will have some scruples." Unless they only need a reputation for the county lord of Jianan. But the county lord of Jianan is not a good person, and nine times out of ten, he will not let himself fall into such a passive situation. I'm afraid that the emperor will be unreliable and offend the county lord of Jianan ruthlessly, and the county lord of Jianan will be ruthless and simply stand on the side of the Li family. Anyway, the emperor is here, the county lord of Jianan is a decent county lord, without the emperor, she is just Li Qian's married couple, and it is not enough to say whether she is favored or not. No matter which woman it is, she should choose to be the county lord instead of the eldest daughter-in-law, right?"
The crowd understood what he was saying.
Zhao Xiao glanced at the staff member with disdain, and said, "Who do you think the county lord of Jianan is? If the Li family wants to use her reputation to act, it depends on whether the county lord of Jianan agrees or not." Don't forget, the Zhenguo Mansion has now eased up. That Jiang Yul had been fighting across the Yalu River, and it was said that the treasures captured from Goryeo were pulled back one after another. Even if Li Qian wants to override the county lord of Jianan, he must have that ability. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think in his heart.
It is true that no one can be completely sure of putting Jianan in the air, and I am afraid that Jianan is willing to make a wedding dress for Li Qian.
However, the Zhenguo Mansion is indeed powerful.
In just a few years of hard work, Jiang Zhenyuan went down, but Jiang Lu took over, and he was even stronger than Jiang Zhenyuan at that time.
This is of course a good thing for the Jiang family, but for them, it is very bad news.
Everyone talked in a hurry, and they didn't come up with a good idea to deal with Li Qian, Zhao Xiao listened for a while, waved his hand, sent several staff members away, and lay alone on the drunken chair in the study, thinking that he didn't know if Li Qian would turn back in the end......
On Li Qian's side, when he got the news of the death of the Empress Dowager, he handed over the matter of taking the treasure to Yunlin, and hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace.
Jiang Xian saw him as if he saw a life-saving straw, and regardless of the many people present, he immediately threw himself into Li Qian's arms and cried whining.
Li Qian was still a little worried about the strange eyes around him at first, but when he hugged Jiang Xian and felt Jiang Xian's waist slimmed down again, he forgot all his worries and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay!" he patted Jiang Xian's back gently, trying his best to comfort Jiang Xian, "You still have me, and Brother Shen, we will take care of your ...... for the rest of your life."
Jiang Xian cried even louder.
A few small ones, such as Brother Shen, Brother Zhi, Tao Tao, Xie Miaomiao, and a few others were crying breathlessly.
They had just divided the Empress Dowager's jewelry.
Brother Shen didn't want a few, so Meng Fangling had to go out in person, saying that if they didn't like it, it would be the same if they gave things to others.
Because of this sentence, Brother Zhi glared at Meng Fangling very unhappily.
In his opinion, the Empress Dowager is such a noble person, her reward is of course the best thing, and if it is not a family heirloom, it has to be carefully put away, how can it be as light as Meng Fangling said.
Meng Fangling smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to comfort Brother Zhi with kind words.
Shen Ke'er couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded her brother and said: "The Empress Dowager has a testament before she dies, so let Aunt Meng and Sister Yinxia follow my mother together." Say less!"
