Chapter 433: Private Affairs
Empress Dowager Wen agreed to Emperor Wu's request to let Yan Yuxiu accompany him to the funeral.
After Emperor Wu coughed again, he actually spurted out another mouthful of blood.
Outside the door of the dormitory, Wen Jiuye's voice came, "Queen Mother, Holy Lord"
Empress Dowager Wen looked up at the door, "Ah Jun, where are the adults?"
The door of Emperor Wu's bedroom was opened, and outside the door, Wen Jiuye Wen Jun actually stood outside the door with several ministers of the court.
Emperor Wu watched all this unexpectedly, he had seen the methods of Empress Dowager Wen when he ascended the throne. At that time, his father and emperor could only follow the same path? he just followed the old path of the previous emperor.
Therefore, Emperor Wu only glanced outside the door, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Wen.
Is this woman just to let the Wen family have the power to tilt towards the opposition? Or does she want to usurp the throne and finally become an empress?
Emperor Wu couldn't guess how ambitious Empress Dowager Wen was.
But he didn't shout in vain, and he wasn't defenseless against the Wen family over the years.
However, Empress Dowager Wen lived in seclusion in Renshou Palace and never took a step.
In the branches of the Wen family, the official documents of the Wen country are mediocre and conservative, and there is no other merit except for obeying orders and doing errands. Wen Jiuye Wen Jun is foolish, and sometimes arrogant.
Even if Wen Yuan has the means to reach the sky and does not have a strong foil, what can she do?
After more than 20 years of imperial Qiangang's dictatorship, he gradually forgot the ruthless methods of the Empress Dowager Wen, but he became more and more clear about the fact that the Empress Dowager Wen was a woman.
Thinking of the Taiyi decoction he drank today, he suspected that the Taiyi was being bought, so he woke up and killed him, but the poison could not be clarified, only the Taiyi claimed to know the toxicity of Hibiscus...... Since he is going to die, it is better to retain the dignity of the emperor.
If he regrets it, what he regrets at this time is that he will be grounded in King Cheng, and he has been suspicious of King Cheng's Mansion for so many years, lest they be said to have moved to rebel. If King Cheng can still move around, I don't think Empress Dowager Wen will do it tonight, right?
In this world, if you say that you know Emperor Wu's imperial heart best, it is the Empress Dowager Wen who supported him to take the road of the God King.
Emperor Wu leaned on the dragon bed and watched indifferently.
Wen Jiuye wore a tunic with arrow sleeves, and after his face did not have the cynical look of the past, he actually showed a bit of heroism.
Behind him, the leader was Jin Yuanzong.
"The Queen Mother, the Holy Lady summoned several adults into the palace, and the ministers followed them into the palace. ”
Wen Jiuye's words naturally meant that they all entered the palace by holy order, and no one else was alarmed inside or outside the palace, and no one else knew.
Empress Dowager Wen nodded slightly, looking at Kang Shun outside the door of the dormitory, "Kang Shun, you still haven't come to serve the saint's pen and ink?"
Kang Shun wanted to respond with a "yes", but he just fought with his mouth and teeth, and he couldn't say a word.
After Empress Dowager Wen entered, he stood at the door of the palace and heard a few words from Emperor Wu and the Empress Dowager.
Kang Shun trembled like chaff, and looked at Emperor Wu with a frightened expression, who could have known that the Empress Dowager would actually lead someone to force the palace? Even if the palace could not be forced, he heard the emperor's secret, and his life could not be saved.
From the entrance of the dormitory to the bed of Emperor Wu, Kang Shun almost crawled in, he took a pen and ink from the imperial case next to the dragon bed, brought the water from the washing pen to the bedside, and held a blank holy decree to the side of the dragon bed.
Emperor Wu picked up his pen and glanced outside again, "Why is Li Chengen, the second son of King Jing, not here?"
"Tell the saint, the second son got up early today and occasionally felt cold, and at this time he was unwell and was sick in bed. Wen Jiuye replied respectfully.
I want to pass on the throne to Lee Seung-eun myself, but I don't plan to let Lee Seung-eun live?
He glanced at Empress Dowager Wen with a little confusion, remembering that Li Chengen's wife was Wen Zheng's daughter, and she had just given birth to a baby boy.
Emperor Wu dipped his ink and was about to put down his pen, when a female voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the dormitory, "You minions, how dare you be so contemptuous?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Empress Xie had broken into the door of the palace with a group of people, followed by Yuxiu, and then behind her, Li Chengyun and Zhou Ming, and behind them, there were soldiers with bright armor.
Those generals should be the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.
Empress Dowager Wen and Emperor Wu looked at this group of people in amazement, and Empress Dowager Wen couldn't help but look at Zhou Ming and asked, "You actually ignore the war in the Northland?"
"Tell the saint, the minister heard that someone was wrongdoing, for the safety of the saint, the soldiers were divided into two routes, and sent the deputy general Yan Yudong to take people to the north to resist the enemy, and he took people back to the side of the Qingjun in Beijing!"
Zhou Ming replied, and Li Chengyun took a few steps forward and approached the gate of the dormitory.
"The Zhou family has been loyal to the country for generations, and there are children and grandchildren who dare to forget their public affairs for personal reasons?" Empress Dowager Wen stared at Zhou Ming and asked sharply, it was rare that her chest was a little undulating, obviously her mood fluctuated greatly.
Zhou Ming glanced at her a little strangely, he brought someone back to Beijing by himself, which ruined her good deeds, and it was normal for her to be angry, but why did she look so sad?
"It is precisely because of the Zhou family's loyalty to the country that Zhou Shizi heard that someone was trying to harm the saint, so he rushed back to rescue the driver day and night!" Li Chengyun said warmly on the side.
Wen Jiuye was followed by civil officials, and everyone was pale, not knowing how to react.
Wen Jun saw that things were not good, and he reached into his arms and wanted to take the knife to hold Emperor Wu hostage, as long as the emperor was in his hands, he would plot something else.
Before he could raise his knife, Kang Shun next to Emperor Wu actually hit him hard and knocked him away a few steps. He kicked Kang Shun away, raised his knife and stabbed Emperor Wu, and shouted in his mouth, "The Zhou family led troops to rebel!"
Zhou Mingda stepped inside to block it, Li Chengyun saw that the knife was about to stab Emperor Wu, and seeing Emperor Wu raise his hand to block the knife, he also hurriedly reached out to grab the knife.
Wen Jun's dagger slid past Emperor Wu's wrist, and then slid past Li Chengyun's hand, but he couldn't stab half a point. Zhou Ming had already kicked him.
Wen Jiuye raised his knife and stabbed Zhou Ming again, but unfortunately although he was conceited and learned to be a martial artist, he was not the opponent of a person like Zhou Ming who licked blood on the battlefield, and he was taken down in a few moves.
Empress Dowager Wen only looked at everything in front of her, as graceful as a statue.
Seeing that Wen Jun was taken down, someone from the palace walked towards her, she glanced at these people coldly, "This palace is the queen mother, who dares to be rude?"
Her shouting made people stunned, but Empress Dowager Wen didn't care about the palace people standing in front of her, she only glanced at Yan Yuxiu, who was standing beside Empress Xie, "Yan Yuxiu, you are so blessed!"
There was a hint of envy and resentment in this voice.
Everyone was puzzled, why did Empress Dowager Wen say this to Yuxiu alone, perhaps only Emperor Wu knew about Empress Dowager Wen's relationship with Lao Chengwang back then.
Empress Dowager Wen looked at Yan Yuxiu and remembered herself back then. Back then, when my father wanted to dedicate himself to the palace, he sent someone to the north to deliver a letter. At that time, King Cheng was not willing to return to Beijing until the war was over when the Northern Barbarians retreated.
When he returned to Beijing, the emperor had already seen her and was about to summon her to the palace.
At that time, if the old king was willing to rush back to the capital regardless of the war, how could he enter the palace? After all, he was still not as blessed as Yan Yuxiu.
She only felt bitter in her heart.
