The Queen Mother looked at the flower-like woman in front of her in a daze, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and she suddenly sighed: "Ruo'er, I will rely on you in the future!"

Ruo'er's face was melancholy, and her eyes showed indescribable sadness.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything more, dragged her staggered back to the dormitory, and the palace maids also retreated.

For a moment, the hall was empty and silent.

Ruo'er sat blankly in the center of the hall, the wound on her hand was still dripping blood, she seemed to forget the pain, and still sat there motionless, like a wood carving.

After a long time, I heard the sound of footsteps, and then the flattering voice of the chamberlain.

It turned out that Concubine Xiao Guifei came to greet the Queen Mother.

Ruo'er hurriedly got up from the ground, went to the door of the main hall to greet the concubine, and whispered that the queen mother went back to the dormitory to rest and didn't want to be disturbed.

Xiao Guifei was very angry when she saw her face, but Ruo'er was a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, and she couldn't be offended. Concubine Xiao had no choice but to hold back her anger and return to the palace with her sleeves slumped.

The elder brother told her not to be angry with the queen, but also to be close to the queen mother. From childhood to adulthood, Brother is the best person for her. If it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have entered the palace as a concubine. No matter how good the emperor is, how can her brother be good to her?

For the sake of my brother, I can do anything!

The emperor dragged his tired body back to the Qinzheng Palace, his eyes bloodshot.

The queen mother is no longer the original queen mother!

Sure enough, it's the power to tempt / people!

The emperor clenched his fist in his right hand and coughed a few times to his mouth.

This cough disease is really getting stricter and stricter!

The emperor's face was pale and tired, but he was energetic enough to read the chapters on the case.

These days, the capital is loose inside and out. The spies sent out did uncover a lot of detailed works, some from neighboring countries and some from their own dynasty. The emperor killed him directly without interrogation, and the body was dragged to the mass grave to feed the dogs.

Since it is a meticulous work, it is ironclad that it will not be able to ask any useful clues, so it is better to kill and stop killing, and then make plans after seeing the other party's next move.

Mo said. Such a bloody move shocked the enemy. The other party did not act for several days.

Seeing that there were only five days before the Wanshou Festival, the emperor suddenly proposed to go to Dayue Mountain to hold a ceremony to seal Zen.

This move was opposed by almost all the ministers of civil and military affairs.

September 19 was the emperor's thirtieth birthday, and the Ministry of Rites began preparations half a year ago. Officials from all walks of life sent heavy gifts into the palace early, and the emperor's relatives and relatives were also eager to try to win the first place in this birthday banquet. Envoys from various countries also came to the imperial capital to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The Queen Mother is looking forward to becoming the heroine of this palace banquet.

Besides, the Zen Sealing Ceremony is a very grand sacrificial event, and it takes at least a year to prepare. Now the emperor hastily set the auspicious day of October 19, even if the Ministry of Rites is busy day and night. Nor will it be possible to complete everything before October 19.

What's more, the emperor is now at his peak, and he has only been on the throne for six years, and he has not achieved much success during his reign. There were no auspicious visions. At this time, the ceremony of sealing Zen was held, the name was not right, and the words were not good. It is also an unkind move to work hard and lose money.

As early as possible, hundreds of officials persuaded each other bitterly.

Helpless. The emperor decided so.

When the news reached the Qin Mansion, Qin Yue was so shocked that he jumped from the bed to the ground.

Feng Chen, he's really crazy!

That night, the Duke of Qin held an emergency meeting, and even the Qin Shizi, who had stayed outside, was found by the servants.

Qin Guogong's face was stern.

Because of what the emperor said in the Qin family's study that night, Grandpa Guo and Qin Sanye had a bottom in their hearts, but they were not as shocked as others.

However, although they guessed that the emperor would take action, they didn't expect it to be such a big event as Feng Chan.

Once the emperor leaves Beijing, anything can happen; the queen mother is in charge of the capital; forces from all sides will take advantage of the situation, and even the situation at the border will become unstable, and other neighboring countries will also be ready to move.

The emperor's move is really dangerous and dangerous! If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game!

In the peaceful and prosperous world, there is no need for the emperor to do this, he is too anxious!

The old lady was still calm and sat on the Taishi's chair and took a nap.

Grandpa Guo glanced at his wife, "You have always had an idea, you have to say something this time!"

The old lady paused and said, "Do we have any other choice?" Ten years ago, since we surrendered to Fengchen, could it be that we have to turn against the water now that we have lost our daughter?"

Grandpa Guo was worried, "The situation today is not as good as it was back then." Although the emperor has no intention of doing anything to the Qin family at the moment, the queen mother may not be of the same mind as the emperor. If she thinks about it, the consequences are unpredictable!"

Qin Sanye said: "Father thinks that the emperor will lose the game between the queen mother and the emperor?"

Grandpa Guo said: "Others don't know, you and I should know." The emperor's dragon body is not healthy, once there is a good ...... The prince is young, how can he be up to the task?"

The old lady snorted, a little disapproving, "She wants to hang the curtain, and she has to ask me if I agree!"

For the queen mother's grounding of the queen, the old lady may not have no complaints in her heart, but she just didn't show it in front of people.

Qin Shizi, who had not spoken on the side, said: "In this case, why don't we avoid returning to our ancestral hometown of Jinzhou? ”

Grandpa Guo sneered angrily at his son's innocent words, "You are naïve, but unfortunately you have to ask the emperor if he agrees!"

Qin Shizi immediately stopped talking.

Qin Wuye said: "Listen to your father, just let your father have an idea!"

Qin Guogong's expression eased, thinking that his second son was still in Chuzhou, so he said to Qin Sanye: "Go back and send a letter to your second brother, let him stay in Chuzhou well, and don't come back for the time being." ”

Qin Sanye knew what his father meant, if the Qin family was really in trouble, and the second brother was there, he would not be left behind.

The atmosphere in the study was a little oppressive for a while.

After being silent for a long time, the old lady suddenly said, "Go, call Sister Yue over." ”

Qin Sanye was very surprised, "Mother, Yue'er is still a child, and she can't help when she is called, why bother for her!"

In his selfish heart, Qin Sanye didn't want to drag his daughter into the water, and he was still thinking about whether to send the Jiang family and Yue'er to Wuling to avoid the limelight.

The old lady said angrily: "You are all manly in vain, and you are looking ahead and backward in doing things." Those who are afraid of death and life are not as good as us women-Yue'er is like me in this way-just think: If the Qin family becomes very powerful, do you still need to look at the face of the Feng family?"

Qin Guogong was frightened by his old wife's words, and his face changed.

Qin Sanye lowered his head in shame.

Fifth Master Qin nodded thoughtfully.

Qin Shizi habitually pouted. He has always cared little about family affairs, and he can't give any constructive opinions, so it's better to remain silent.

At this time, Qin Yue came uninvited.

Under the leadership of a minion. For the first time, she walked into her grandfather's study.

No matter what kind of agreement the Queen Mother had with the Qin family back then. No matter how much Shen Jin's death had to do with them. At the critical moment when Feng Chen is facing life and death, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye.

"Grandfather, please forgive my granddaughter for speaking out. This time. We must defend the imperial power to the death!"

Qin Yue's words were sonorous and powerful. The small figure stands upright, and has the momentum of benefiting the world.

Everyone looked at her in unison.

Qin Yue was indifferent and talked eloquently: "Don't say that the queen is the daughter of the Qin family. only said that the emperor had an incident in Jinzhou back then, so weak. Both the Shen family and the Qin family will take a fancy to him at the same time, which shows that this person is very capable, has the appearance of a king, and has the blessing of a king. As peace as today. Just a few clowns jumping off the beam, can they still afford to turn over the big waves?"

Everyone felt that she was reasonable, and couldn't help nodding frequently.

Qin Yue said again: "If you say that the Queen Mother has a heart. Of course, the Queen Mother has a heart. The Queen Mother had these thoughts as early as three years ago, otherwise she would not have been sent to another garden by the emperor on the grounds of recuperation. Three years ago, she couldn't control the emperor. Today, three years later, she can't shake the emperor's position. Besides, the emperor knows her thoughts, won't he take precautions? Will he let her do whatever she wants?"

"In front of the imperial power, every qiē is scum!"

After Qin Yue said this, he sat down beside Qin Sanye.

It was also after a lot of ideological struggle that she decided to go this way.

The hundred-year-old Qin family is bright on the outside, but it is already scum on the inside. In my grandfather's generation, there was a general like my grandfather, and in my father's generation, there were not even a few soldiers.

The queen's mother's family, that's just a halo, and when it comes to the big disaster, it doesn't work at all.

Whether the Qin family can regain its former glory depends on whether Qin Zheng and Qin Jin can compete for it!

Grandpa Guo also understood this truth, so he thought about protecting himself.

Where there is life, there is hope!

But after listening to her granddaughter's words, she suddenly opened up.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?

If you want to protect yourself, you have to protect it!

Qin Sanye looked at his daughter appreciatively, feeling very relieved.

Only the old lady looked complicated, and her right hand on her knee was clenched tightly. No wonder she has to be jealous of her granddaughter, it's really that what her granddaughter has in her hands is too important to her.

But this granddaughter is smart, and she has been asked to hide from her several temptations, and now she is wary again, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to ask for the things in her hand.

Qin Yue only felt a pair of eyes staring at him, and subconsciously raised his head, and met the old lady's gaze.

The old lady hurriedly walked away.

Qin Yue smiled casually.

After making a decision, Grandpa Guo no longer dragged his feet, and after everyone retreated, he entered the palace overnight and expressed his loyalty to the emperor.

The Emperor did not close his eyes all night.

At such a juncture, he did not dare to take it lightly, although he made the will to seal Zen in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, but he was inevitably apprehensive in his heart.

Making such a decision is not only a challenge to the enemy, but also a challenge to himself, and also a challenge to his subordinates.

Hearing that the chamberlain said that the Duke of Qin Guo was promoted, the emperor couldn't help but look happy, and his heart seemed to be relieved as if he had put down a big stone.

The Qin family, after all, is towards him.

The emperor quickly put on his clothes, rushed out of the dormitory in a few arrows, and came to the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace.

Qin Guogong, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Before he knelt down, the emperor had already helped his hands up, "Father-in-law, please get up! Tonight, regardless of the monarch and ministers, only about people! I would like to talk with my father-in-law at night!"

Before coming, Grandpa Guo had prepared many speeches, wanting to impress the emperor with this. Unexpectedly, the emperor met him in such an capacity, so that his prepared draft was useless.

Grandpa Guo got up and was helped by the emperor to sit on the Luohan bed.

The emperor waved off the close attendant and personally poured a cup of tea for the grandfather.

Grandpa Guo was moved by Mo Ming, and hurriedly took a big sip of the cup, feeling that this decision was not wrong, if a son-in-law is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

After a pause, Grandpa Guo said seriously: "The emperor's decision is fully supported by the ministers. But please ask the emperor's quasi-ministers to invite one uninvited!"

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"Please allow the old minister to escort him. To be honest, Lao Chen doesn't worry about anyone. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show excitement, "I knew that the Qin family would not fail me!"

Grandpa Guo also sighed: "The old minister supported the emperor back then, and he is now." The Qin family's loyalty to the emperor has never changed. The emperor trusts the minister, the minister is grateful, and in this life, he only wishes the emperor to be an emperor for the ages!"

The emperor's heart was greatly shocked.

An emperor through the ages!

That is Jin'er's expectation of him, and it is also his belief and determination to persist in this life. Now that it came out of the mouth of the old man in front of him, it seemed to give him a special meaning!

Grandpa Guo looked at the emperor's stunned face, and almost suspected that he had said the wrong thing.

Qin Guogong, who was born in the army, rarely worked chewing words, and this sentence "Emperor of the Ages" was also heard by the deceased King Zhonglie to the emperor many years ago, and the emperor was very excited, yearning, and looking forward to it, but it was by no means the expression in front of him.

The emperor was immersed in the past for a while, and did not take into account the thoughts of the grandfather of the country at all. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the sincere and frightened look on Grandpa Guo's face.

"Don't be like that, adults. Your words, my son-in-law will take them to heart!"

……

This conversation between the monarch and the minister lasted until the east showed the white of the fish's belly.

With the support of Qin Guogong, the emperor was more confident in the face of the opposition of the ministers in the early dynasty, "I know that you Aiqing is for my good, but I have made up my mind, and it is difficult to change it!"

The ministers below couldn't help but look at each other, looked at each other and shook their heads.

Qin Guogong took the initiative to stand in a conspicuous position at the front of the main hall at this time, "The minister respectfully obeys the holy will, and is willing to cut through all obstacles for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate to smear his liver and brain!"

As soon as his words fell, a burst of inhalation suddenly sounded in the hall.

Qin Guogong's face did not change, he was as calm as a pine, and stood straight in the center of the hall with a ruler.

Soon, someone stood behind him, bowed down and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

This was, of course, the result of Qin Guogong's overnight activities.

Although he was in an idle position in the military department, he still had the residual power back then, and there were also many old subordinates who served in the army and accumulated a lot of contacts. If you support the emperor with all your might, you will no longer hide your strength.

Let's also show my loyalty to the emperor again.

The emperor sat on the top and was quite shocked.

The Qin family's power is indeed not small. Fortunately, this force is his and within his control. Whether it is the queen or the prince, it is the weakness of the Qin family after all!
