83. Ministers maintain

"I lost my husband, you lost my child, how can I win or lose?" Xu Yunhua sneered a few times, and finally fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Zhu Di's face was like frost, "Why are you still unrepentant?" Is this war? Is this a battlefield? This is still your home, but it was moved from the courtyard of Yanwangfu in Beiping to the palace, is it just because the place has changed, and even your original intention has changed? ”

Xu Yunhua seemed to be touched by something, and was silent, looking at Zhu Di almost in despair, "Home...... Family? Is this still my home? ”

Zhu Di shook off the corner of his robe and walked out, "You are simply unreasonable." From today on, you are in this Kunning Palace, and you are not allowed to take a step without my will! ”

Until Zhu Di also left, only me and Xu Yunhua were left, she didn't want to wait below me, so she struggled to get up, I walked to her, stepped on the corner of her skirt, she staggered, and fell to the ground, seeing that I embarrassed her, immediately like an angry trapped beast, fierce face rushed towards me, I turned sideways, let her pounce in the air, for a long time, she stopped, at me viciously said, "Repentance? Of course I regret it, I regret that I didn't break you into pieces before the emperor came back! What I hate is that the emperor is indiscriminate, and he only favors you, a slut! ”

I leaned down, leaned in front of her, and said coldly, "I never thought about fighting with you, never." You took away the person I love the most and care about the most, and the next person with thousands of broken pieces is you. ”

Xu Yunhua trembled a few times, and a few hoarse strange sounds came out of his throat, "Get out!" Get lost! Get out of my Kunning Palace! ”

I turned around, picked up a tea tray on the table, raised it to a high place, and then let go, letting the tea tray and the tea set inside fall apart on the ground, looking at Xu Yunhua's panicked eyes, I walked out without looking back, "From now on, you and I are for the flesh and I am the knife, and I will return all the pain you gave me." ”

The news that Zhu Di returned to the court early because of the early death of Princess Jing'an gradually spread, Zhu Di did not go to the morning court for three days, nor did he meet any concubines in the harem, only mourning his daughter in the palace of raising his heart, and even I did not see him again.

I know he's a little more sad than I am now---- he's lost both his daughter and his trusted wife. If it is really punished, then the country will lose its queen.

Although many people don't know about the chaotic tragedy of the harem, there are still some well-informed people who learned the news that the queen was secluded in Kunning Palace, and the news soon reached the ears of Zhu Yuying, the princess of Chang'an, and she soon invited Zhu Yuxian, the princess of Yongping, to visit the palace together.

I don't know what Xu Yunhua said to them, but these two sisters, who had a very close relationship with me many years ago, and I also admired their sisters, one was lively and generous, the other was gentle and demure, so I didn't want to tell them about their mother's evil deeds, so that they would add another layer of pain to the worry of their mother's fall from grace, so I gave an order early, and all visitors were gone.

Sure enough, after the two sisters stayed in Kunning Palace for a long time, they went to the outside of Lianyi Palace to ask for a meeting. After waiting for more than half an hour, I still didn't mean to see them, so I had no choice but to leave.

Three days later, Zhu Di began to go to the court, but did not mention the queen's confinement, but after the court, he left a few henchmen and ministers, and called them to the apse together, among these confidant ministers, including Yao Guangxiao, who was specially invited down from the mountain. And early this morning, Zhu Di sent Li Xing to invite me to the inner room of the Heart Cultivation Palace. I know that Zhu Di wants to give me an answer in front of me.

At this time, I stood behind the curtain and quietly looked at Zhu Di, who had not been seen for three days, and a few mainstay courtiers.

Zhu Di lowered his voice and asked, "A few Aiqing, do you know why I called you here alone today?" ”

The crowd was silent, and no one dared to answer.

Seeing this, Zhu Di had no choice but to say, "Maybe your ears have already reported the news, I think you must have heard some rumors." During my absence, the previous dynasty relied on you, and there was nothing important, but the harem was constantly in turmoil. ”

Everyone was still submissive and didn't dare to speak, only Yao Guangxiao stood up and arched his hand, "Weichen lives in seclusion on the mountain and almost ignores the entire court, but in the past few days after the emperor returned to the palace, he really heard some rumors as the emperor said. ”

"Tell me what you heard."

"During the period when the emperor was not in the palace, the queen mother was not only in charge of the harem, but also worked tirelessly to organize the women of the noble and wealthy families in Beijing to raise silver taels, accumulate food, and send it to the disaster area in a steady stream, and even gathered hundreds of doctors to send them to the disaster area to treat the plague, and virtue has spread throughout the capital. Everyone agrees that this is the true mother of the country. Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di slyly, and glanced in my direction as if he was nothing, with his cleverness, he also guessed that I was standing behind the curtain at this time.

Although he is not in the government and the opposition, but there are countless eyes and ears in the government and the opposition, if he is tired of the world, he can retreat to the mountains and forests, if he wants to disturb the government, there are a lot of clues in the court to report to him. Just like at this time, maybe he knows more about the love and hate between Xu Yunhua and me than Zhu Di, but he chose to maintain and defend the queen who didn't have much intersection with him. I know that he is making a choice for Zhu Di. From Zhu Di's standpoint, it is much more affordable to create a benevolent and loving queen Nizun than to expose Xu Yunhua's face and send her into the cold palace.

Zhu Di also saw through Yao Guangxiao's intentions at a glance, and did not say anything, but raised his eyebrows and looked at the other people. One of the officials stepped forward and said with some resignation, "Wechen heard that this ...... The queen seems to have been confined by the emperor in Kunning Palace these days, and she doesn't know ......"

Yao Guangxiao coughed twice, and the official didn't dare to speak anymore, Yao Guangxiao saw that he didn't speak, and said with a smile, "You say, you say, the old body is just old, and from time to time there are three disasters and two diseases, I really envy you young people." ”

"The national teacher has won the award, and the award has passed." The official repeatedly scolded Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di looked at them coldly and didn't speak, but Yao Guangxiao stretched out a hand and smiled at Yanguan, "Don't be polite with me, the emperor is still waiting for you to talk." ”

The speaker was hinted by Yao Guangxiao coughing a few times, and originally wanted to take this opportunity to fool the past and stop saying more, but he didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to force him to express his opinion now, and he was also a little stunned, standing in place and not knowing what to say.

Zhu Di didn't care about their small actions, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked the official, "Who did you listen to that the queen was grounded?" ”

Yanguan's eyes turned around, glanced at Zhu Di again, and finally arrived, "The trance came from the princess's mansion." ”

Zhu Di raised his head, "Oh~"

Seeing that Zhu Di didn't ask him again, Yanguan hurriedly retreated, Yao Guangxiao snorted, "Ah, what's wrong with the queen's mother?" ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "It seems that the national teacher is really escaping from the world, the queen was in charge of the harem during the period when I was out of the palace, and she was immoral, which caused Princess Jing'an to die early, and she had no repentance, so she ...... I thought about it again and again, and decided to abolish it, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”

Everyone was shocked, their faces changed greatly, and one of the old ministers knelt directly on the ground, "The emperor thinks twice!" The government is stable, the status of the prince has been stabilized, and several princes are from the queen's mother, no matter if the queen mother has made a big mistake, it is absolutely impossible to abolish it! ”

Everyone is chattering and expressing their own opinions, but everyone's opinion is unanimous, so it is absolutely impossible to abolish it. Zhu Di didn't speak again from beginning to end, and in the end, Yao Guangxiao said, "The emperor said that the queen's immorality led to the early death of Princess Jing'an, I don't know how she lost her morality?" Princess Jing'an died of illness, if this stubble is counted on the head of the queen, it is really not enough to serve the public, and if it is really abolished, who will be the new queen? ”

When everyone saw Yao Guangxiao asking such a question, they all stopped talking and waited quietly for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "It's all gone, what I talked about today can't reveal half a word." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and saluted and withdrew, only Yao Guangxiao still knelt on the ground and did not leave. Zhu Di glanced at him and asked, "National Teacher, but what else do you have to say?" ”

Yao Guangxiao raised his head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the dispute between the women of the harem, just turn a blind eye, if there is a small fight between the two concubines, let alone scrap it, even if it is killed, it is nothing, but the queen is the lord of a palace and the mother of a country, not that it can be abolished." Our queen is more different from the queens of the previous dynasties, the princes of our dynasty are all from the queen, and the other concubines have nothing to do, so to speak, the queen is the foundation of a country, and it cannot be shaken! ”

Zhu Di paused, "It seems that the national teacher has already inquired." ”

Yao Guangxiao's face was a little sad, "The old minister is not partial to the queen, if you talk about personal relations, the old minister has more contact with the powerful concubine, and the old minister also thinks that she is heroic, loyal and generous, but in this matter, the emperor may only be able to wronged her." After the abolition, you can't, after the abolition, if you want to make her the queen, that's absolutely impossible. After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, he fell to the ground and turned his face slightly to the direction where I was standing, "The old minister knows that the emperor is in a dilemma, but the situation is here, and the emperor has to do this, if the powerful concubine can't understand and is unwilling to give up, then he will let down the emperor's heart." ”

Zhu Di's voice was a little tired, and he reached out to support his forehead, "Then you say, Princess Jing'an, it's like this...... The powerful concubine is not a competitive person, and this matter is indeed that the queen is too aggressive. If you don't come up with an explanation, let alone a powerful concubine, the other concubines in the harem are not convinced, if someone imitates her viciousness, won't I walk in the snake and scorpion nest every day? ”

Yao Guangxiao's face also had a difficult color, "Hey, this woman's battlefield is ten times more sinister than a man's battlefield, easy to dodge with open guns, and difficult to defend against hidden arrows." If the emperor really feels ashamed of the powerful concubine, he might as well pamper him more and have another prince, and that's it. ”

Zhu Di didn't speak again, sat quietly for a while, waved his hand, and said, "The national teacher won't go up the mountain today, stay in the palace, and I will look for you to play chess at night." ”

Yao Guangxiao understood that Zhu Di had given the eviction order, smiled, then said no more and retreated.

I stood behind the curtain, cold all over, although I had predicted this outcome, but at this moment, I still felt disheartened. Zhu Di lifted the curtain, walked to my side, and took one of my hands, "Why are your hands so cold." ”

I broke away from his palm and walked inside, Zhu Di followed, and said in a low voice after a long time, "You heard what they said." ”

I lowered my head, "yes, I heard that." ”

Zhu Di grabbed my shoulders, "I'm really embarrassed, on one side is you, and on the other side is the entire government and the opposition." ”

"The national teacher is right, the queen can't be punished. But what he said about making you pamper me more and having another prince, I really can't agree with it, another one, and another life, under all kinds of curses and frames, innocent death?! I gritted my teeth, full of hatred, and stared at Zhu Di fiercely.

Zhu Di was a little dodgy, and reached out to hug me, "Ah Yi, don't ...... like this"

I pushed him away, but he didn't expect me to push him with such force, staggered back several steps, crashed into a row of bookshelves, and shook the ground into a mess. He looked up at me in disbelief, and I, already in tears.

"The crescent moon is dead, Bao'er's leg is broken, and finally she is the mother of the princes, and she can continue to sit high on the queen's throne, and continue to harm every concubine she despises, every child who hinders her favor. Your Majesty, don't you feel disgusted when you sit side by side with such a queen? ”

Zhu Di's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, I covered my face and ran away, returning to the Lotus Yi Palace.

Seeing my innocent Bao'er in bed, my heart was even more sad. Full of guilt, but unable to express it in any words.

Since this day, I have never gone out again, Zhu Di will come over at first, but every time I push the disease, avoid it, over time, he also knows that I am avoiding him, and he will no longer come to touch the nails.

Xu Yunhua's posterior position is naturally not abolished, but I heard that she has never stepped out of Kunning Palace again, as for whether she is ashamed of herself, or Zhu Di secretly issued a secret order not to come out, I don't know, and I don't bother to investigate.

Because no matter what you do, there will be no more crescent laughter in this room. <
