Mrs. Zhao sent Zhang Bi away, thought about it, and asked someone to call a pair of grandchildren. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"I got the news that Empress Dowager Tian intends to let Erlang Shang be the princess of Wei Kingdom." There was no foreshadowing, no detours, she said the matter very calmly and directly.

Zhou Qin was stunned.

For a moment, she felt like something was wrong with her ears.

Yesterday, he had caught up with his brother in time, and Tian Chu also stood up to testify, and Princess Wei did not succeed.

Obviously, everything is completely different from the previous life, obviously there is no Lantern Festival night galloping horse, obviously my brother and grandmother are alive and well, why does my uncle still want Princess Shang.

Zhou Yanzhi was bluffed. After yesterday, he was indeed very worried, but he did not have a clear idea of what was going to happen for the time being. Old Madam Zhao's words were like thunder to him.

Old Madam Zhao didn't give them more time to digest the news, but quickly continued: "What do you think this means? ”

Living on the side of the emperor and growing up in the prince's house, although he did not enter the office, Zhou Yanzhi still has a keen sense of politics, and naturally he will not naively think that the royal family has taken a fancy to his uncle's character. He said with some hesitation: "Uncle is going to return to Beijing, and the Queen Mother is going to start the military power." ”

After he said this, he seemed to think of something, his expression became more solemn, and he whispered tentatively: "Once the princess's family affairs are decided, the emperor's wedding is unavoidable, but will the queen mother really let the emperor govern?" ”

Zhou Qin's face was pale, but he subconsciously blurted out, "The Queen Mother wants to find another way to do that Yiyin." ”

Old Madam Zhao glanced at Zhou Qin thoughtfully.

The grandson is calm and down-to-earth, not arrogant or impatient, and over time, he will be able to carry the door of this house. However, it is a pity that the granddaughter is so smart that she will eventually marry into someone else's family.

She asked Zhou Qin, intentionally or unintentionally, "Why do you think that the Queen Mother wants to do what Yi Yin did?" ”

Zhou Qin's heart was beating like a drum, but his mind was strangely calm, and he could list what he thought in his mind one by one, "The Queen Mother started with her uncle, because although Xuanqing has been in war in recent years, it is only a small fight, and it will not hurt the foundation of the society. Uncle is not in love with military power, we don't stand in line in the house, we don't form a party, and we have the least resistance. In addition, it also shows that she intends to stay in power for a long time before she makes such a big move. If she has the intention of letting the emperor take charge of the government in three or five years, she will definitely not make a big move. ”

"Although the queen mother plans to make this son for a long time, but the emperor is too old, and if he doesn't let him be in power, the court will definitely blow up the pot, unless he is still young and can't sit on top of the government."

She paused and continued, "Since the Queen Mother has this idea, even if my uncle is not a princess in the end, he will still be transferred to another position, but I don't know how to wrestle between the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council and the Queen Mother." ”

The more Mrs. Zhao listened, the more she felt sorry, if her granddaughter was also a man, and Zhou Yanzhi was a brother, the two took care of each other, one was old and serious, the other was agile and daring, and why worry about the decline of the family business.

Zhou Yanzhi: "If the Queen Mother wants to move her uncle, she must also ask the Privy Council if she agrees." ”

"Unless she hands over the military power to the Privy Council and reassigns it." Zhou Qin continued, "But then there is no meaning, the military power is in the hands of my uncle, and it is possible to take it back, if it is returned to the Privy Council, from now on, she will take this as an example, and she will not want to be touched by a star and a half in the future." ”

"There's another possibility." Old Madam Zhao said lightly, "The Queen Mother used Xuanqing's soldiers as bargaining chips and exchanged them with the political affairs hall, as long as she gave up two or three seats, someone would naturally come out of the way." ”

As Mrs. Zhao expected, Empress Dowager Tian did provoke the political hall to fight against the Privy Council.

Shi Xuan went out of the palace after a secret talk with Empress Dowager Tian, but within a few days, the news that the political hall intended to restart the war spread all over the capital, and even the first batch of generals and locations of the rotating army were said to have a nose and an eye.

The streets and alleys began to talk a lot, and it seemed that at this moment, from the poor scholar who had tried for a long time, to the junior second who ran the hall, from the pig-killing guy with a big belly, to the rich man with some small money, everyone had become an official of the Privy Council and a military expert.

"This is not playing the piano in the political hall, seeing that our Dawei has lived a stable life for decades, we have to toss blindly! How can this method be used indiscriminately? If you are more wary, you will know that you will be more wary, and I will tell you that the previous dynasty was the country that died because of the war! This is the grandmother who walks the streets in the tiles of the Suzaku Gate, sells cakes and quiches, and is missing a tooth.

"The political hall meddled in the Privy Council, and the senior officials of Chu actually endured it, it was me, and I had already spit on the faces of those people in the political affairs hall." ——This is the old man who ferries and sells fish by the Jinshui River.

"The political affairs hall has a good heart, and the generals will not be changed for more than ten or twenty years, I think it is worried that they will support the army and respect themselves, but it can't be decided at will, Feng Xiang's troops are transferred to garrison Jiaozhi, and before the war, half of the manpower will be reduced, guess what? Traveling thousands of miles, it is better to read 10,000 books, it is written in the books, Jiaozhi is very miasma, where can Fengxiang's soldiers stand it! This is a half-understood, sour scholar who joins in the fun.

In addition to herself, who knows the content of the conversation, that is, the Queen Mother, who can spread these news.

Shi Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that Empress Dowager Tian was dissatisfied with his slow hands and feet, and started to do it himself. If this wind blows again, the people of the Imperial Historical Observatory will not be able to sit still, and they will definitely impeach the Kyoto Prefecture and let the rumors spread.

However, to his surprise, the first person who couldn't sit still was not Yushitai, but Li Di, who was far away in Fujian.

Li Di didn't know who he had heard, so he sent someone to bring the letter in an urgent delivery of 800 miles, and asked him if he had any intention of returning the military power to the court.

Only then did Shi Xuan realize that something was wrong.

If it is the handwriting of the Empress Dowager Tian, it will only spread in the capital, but if even Li Di in Fujian has heard about it, what will this rumor look like.

The lessons of the three of them becoming tigers are very clear.

But folk rumors are the most difficult to control. Since the opening of the Great Wei Dynasty, people have never been imprisoned, and it is the evil ghost in the folklore that Taizu is in color, and even the old woman does not let go, and Taizu just laughs at it. This kind of half-joking and half-serious, but not harming the society, the court has no reason to ban it.

The next day, after the ceremonial court meeting, the important ministers of the political hall and the Privy Council gathered in the vertical arch hall, and Shi Xuan stood up in front of his old rival Chu Zhen, arched his hand to the Empress Dowager Tian, and said: "The minister has something to do." ”

Empress Dowager Tian said with a smile: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

In the midst of this chaos, Zhang Bi ran away with more than a dozen horses and finally returned to the capital.
