As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. The emperor unconsciously said what was in his heart, and the queen mother suddenly looked like a ghost, pointing at the emperor shaking like the wind and autumn leaves: "What did you say?" What kind of mother is not a mother? You, when did you know? ”

Now that the words have been spoken, the emperor no longer concealed them, sighed and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you." But I've known for a long time that you're not my mother. When I was three years old, my nurse said that she didn't understand anything when I was younger, but I could understand it by then. Later, when I grew up and had my own power, I knew what was going on with a little checking. But I have always treated you as my own mother, you raised me, supported me to be the grandson, the prince, and the emperor, and you are much more attentive to me than to your own Zhan Yong and Zhan Yuan. My son also sincerely respects you, and I pretended not to know about it in this life, and our mother and son will always be mother and son. But when the son saw you, he put an irrelevant Yan Qingluan above his son, and the son was sad, so he was confused for a while and blurted out that his son hurt your heart. Queen Mother, don't be angry, if you want to beat me, just beat me out of anger. ”

The Queen Mother was already weak, collapsed on her seat, and said dejectedly: "I always thought that I could bury this secret forever, who knows, you already know that I am just like a fool all these years!" That's it, since you think that I treat Qingluan better than you, my hard work over the years has been in vain. Go ahead, and I don't care if you want to set up whomever you want. ”

The emperor was shocked: "Mother! Mother! Don't be angry with your son, he doesn't want to know about it. Naturally, you are the best for me, mother, my son knows that he is wrong"

Empress Dowager Zhang just waved her hand tiredly and drove the emperor away: "That's it, you go, I don't want to care about these idle things." Let's go, I want to rest. Without saying anything, he drove the emperor out.

The emperor knew that he had hurt the heart of the Queen Mother, but the secret that had been buried in his heart for decades finally spit out, just like an abscess that would ache faintly from time to time all day and finally broke his head and came out of pus, the pain was painful, but there was a kind of "finally like this" pleasure.

In this way, although the mother and son were estranged, the queen mother had more scruples after all, and no longer interfered with the emperor in case of trouble, but it made the emperor feel more free.

When the news reached Chengqian Palace, Qing Dai frowned and said, "Why does the Queen Mother have to recommend Concubine Yan to the throne?" ”

Qiu Yuan replied: "According to the gossip outside the palace, the Queen Mother and Yan Qingluan's father Yan Xijiu are brothers and sisters in the same family, and they have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Therefore, since Yan Qingluan entered the palace, it was the Queen Mother who sheltered her, otherwise, why is it that only she gave birth to the prince in the palace and can still raise her safely? ”

Qing Dai nodded and said: "Although it is a legend, there is no wind and no waves, and often the legend is the truth!" From this point of view, the Queen Mother has long had plans to make the third prince the crown prince, and we have worked hard to bring down Hu Shanxiang, but I am afraid that it is the intention of others. But they want to easily pick the peaches I planted, but I'm afraid it's not so easy! ”

She thought for a while, and sighed: "Yang Rong, as the first assistant, can stand up clearly this time to show his attitude, since he was instructed by the queen mother, the whole dynasty is up and down, and he can compete with him. Qiuyuan, you go"

British Gong Zhang Fu was discussing with his staff in the study what was happening in the DPRK and China, and the most important thing was the dispute between the emperor and the prince launched by Yang Rong some time ago. In fact, it's not right to say that it is a "dispute", the prince is just such a one, who can fight with him?

When Zhang Fu heard his subordinate Mr. Zhang say this, he shook his head and disagreed: "Those who are good at fighting can't just look at the present. It's the same thing. At present, the prince is naturally this one, and the two princes of the former queen have died young, which gives people more and more a feeling of difficulty for the emperor's heirs. But according to the news, the princes in the palace have died one after another, all of which are related to the former queen, and this matter is not providential, but man-made! ”

He nodded the table and said, "Now that the troublemaker is gone, and the emperor is in his prime, there will soon be more than one prince in the harem." Then the three princes are no longer the only choice. Why do we have to stand in line so blindly in this battle for the establishment of reserves? Besides, the emperor is in his prime, Yang Rong and they are so eager to force the emperor to establish a prince, can they not make the emperor jealous? What will the emperor think of these courtiers who are in a hurry to hug the prince's thigh? I'm afraid that Yang Rong's heart is too anxious this time, and he can't eat the hot tofu, but he will burn his mouth! Therefore, we must not follow the trend in this matter. ”

Several staff members even claimed that it was, and the Dao or the grandfather was far-sighted and sharp-eyed!

At this moment, a housekeeper outside the door came to report, saying that there was a person who came to ask to see Grandpa Guo, but there was no worship, only one sentence, to be exact, only four words: "Shunyi, firearms." ”

Everyone didn't care, but Zhang Fu's face changed, he pondered for a while, asked the staff to withdraw, and ordered the housekeeper to bring someone in secret.

I saw a young man with an ordinary face, whose only characteristic was that he was a little dark. It's not eye-catching to dress up, just the usual bamboo cloth clothes. But looking closely, this person did not flinch when he saw Zhang Fu, and greeted Zhang Fu plainly. It seems that the big evil god in front of him, who has 100,000 Beijing views in Annan, can stop children crying at night, is usually like an uncle next door.

Zhang Fu's sharp eyes looked at this person in an instant, just looking at this person who could still be nothing in front of his might, this person is not an ordinary person! Zhang Fu asked lightly: "Your Excellency's honorable name?" I don't know the whereabouts of Yongjie that day, and I have been remembering it for many years, I don't know if he is okay now? ”

The person in front of him smiled and said: "The villain's cheap name is not worth mentioning, so my grandfather called me Erhei." As for Mr. Jiang, he is safe and secure now, but he is busy with things, and he often complains in letters. ”

Zhang Fu squinted, things busy? The forces of the Hai family clearly still exist!

Zhang Fu was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Back then, I agreed with Yongjie that Zhang would do one thing for him with this four-character number, but after so many years, Yongjie didn't know life and death, and the Hai family was also wiped out. What do you want, is it for officials or for money? Despite the word. As long as he is not involved in rebellion, Zhang will do his best. ”
