"Zhu'er, Zhu'er......" Xiao Wanyao lowered her voice and shouted in a low voice, she was afraid that her loud voice would scare the child in her stomach.

Zhu'er grabbed her hand, "Crown Princess Zhu'er is here, what do you have to tell Sù Zhu'er?" Xiao Wanyao seemed to be reborn again, and smiled in surprise, "He's moving, he's still moving." ”

Zhu'er didn't know what Xiao Wanyao was talking about for a while, but when she saw her smiling and her other hand caressing her stomach, she suddenly reacted, "Princess, Zhu'er will go and ask the imperial doctor right away." As he spoke, he ran outside, even if he forced a imperial doctor back from the emperor, he would go.

However, just when Zhu'er ran out of the door, the whole person crashed into a person's arms, Zhu'er ran too fast, and her body couldn't help but fall backwards, and she fell to the ground fiercely.

"Zhu'er, what are you doing in such a panic?" Ping'er stood outside, helping Han Qianqian, who was almost hit, her brows slightly locked.

Han Qianqian looked at Zhu'er's panicked appearance, and stepped forward to reach out to help her, but Zhu'er had already gotten up from the ground and hurriedly saluted her, "Concubine forgiveness, the slave didn't mean to bump into the concubine, it's just that the princess is unwell now, and the slave and maid should hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”

Han Qianqian had heard that Xiao Wanyao was unwell, and she came to see her on purpose, "It's okay, hurry up and ask for a doctor." I'll go in and see the Crown Princess. With that, he walked in with Ping'er.

In the princess's bedroom, four maidservants accompanied the bedside, Zhu'er hesitated, but at this time she couldn't care so much, and ordered a more trusting maid to let her take a good look at the princess, so she hurriedly ran out.

Xiao Wanyao closed her eyes slightly, her stomach no longer had the pain she felt just now, and the maidservant had already removed the things under her, but she looked pale, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes, and when she saw the person who came clearly, Han Qianqian had already reached out and touched her forehead.

Xiao Wanyao could feel that the fetus in her womb was still moving, and her feelings were much more stable than just now, "Concubine Shu, why are you here?" Can I help you? ”

Han Qianqian sighed slightly and said, "It seems that I'm still a step late, how does the crown princess feel?" I just heard that you have been sick since you came back from the emperor, so I came to take a look. Her tone was very light, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wanyao's bulging belly.

Xiao Wanyao naturally had a guess in her heart, but it was inconvenient for her to say more, and said perfunctorily, "I don't know what's wrong, after I came back, I suddenly felt weak, and it should be fine after resting for a while." It made Zhu'er and them anxious. ”

Han Qianqian frowned, seeing Zhu'er just now was not as simple as an ordinary illness, but Xiao Wanyao didn't want to tell her the truth, but no one would completely trust others here, "In this case, then the princess has a good rest, and my sister will come to see the princess another day." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, then turned her head away from looking at her, closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.

When Han Qianqian stood up and walked out, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back again, "Crown Princess, you must take good care of yourself, sometimes you don't have to calm things and watch coldly to protect yourself." What needs to be done has to be done. ”

After speaking, she rushed to Xiao Wanyao's blessing and turned around and left.

After she left, Xiao Wanyao slowly opened her eyes and stared straight ahead, she was a doctor, and her body knew best, the child would be fine, unless someone wanted him to have something. Her hands clenched slightly, what the concubine said just now was to remind herself.

After calming down, Xiao Wanyao also guessed this, someone must have wanted to harm her and her children, so today's incident happened. As Concubine Shu said, what should be done must be done, and calming things will only harm yourself.

When Zhu'er rushed to the emperor's bedroom, she learned that the emperor had died. The minister and many concubines were crying there, Cui'er waited anxiously outside the palace gate, and when she saw Zhu'er coming, she asked anxiously, "How is the crown princess?" Is it better? ”

Zhu'er's face was a little ugly, and she could see that she had cried, she shook her head at Cui'er, "The crown princess is not good now." It would be nice if the prince could go back. ”

Cui'er said, "The prince is inside, the emperor has just died." She lowered her voice and said, "All the ministers and the imperial doctors didn't come out, and the guards guarding the door didn't let me in, so I couldn't see the prince at all." ”

Zhu'er was also very anxious, and at this time, a maid beside Xiao Wanyao chased after her, panting slightly, "Sister Zhu'er, the princess asked you to go back, the princess said that there is no need to add the prince and the imperial doctor." She's okay anymore. ”

Zhu'er was worried that something would happen to Xiao Wanyao's side, so she left Cui'er to guard here, and as long as she saw the prince, she immediately told him about the princess, and then returned to Xiao Wanyao's side with the maid.

When Zhu'er went back, Xiao Wanyao was already asleep, she told the others to go down, and she was alone by her side, touching her head and helping her cover the quilt. In the middle, I got up many times and asked the maidservants outside if there was news of the prince.

Seeing that Xiao Wanyao was sleeping very soundly, Zhu'er didn't bother her, and she didn't wake up until the evening, when the sky gradually darkened. As soon as she woke up, Zhu'er stepped forward and asked, "Crown Princess, are you okay?" Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? ”

Xiao Wanyao's face was slightly better, but still pale, and when she saw that there was only Zhu'er alone in the room, she knew that the prince had not returned, and there was only one reason why he did not come back, "Did the emperor die?" ”

She didn't answer Pearl's words and asked.

Zhu'er paused for a moment, then nodded, "Soon after you came back, the slave maid went to the emperor's bedroom to see it, and the prince and they were all inside, so ......"

Xiao Wanyao nodded understandingly, "It's okay, I'm fine now anyway, just let him stay there." As she spoke, she wanted to sit up, but Zhu'er hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Princess, you just woke up, let's rest for a while." ”

She shook her head, her eyes deep, and Zhu'er put the quilt on her back to make her lean more comfortably.

The first thing Xiao Wanyao did after sitting up was to look down at his belly, and gently stroked it with his hand, in a few months, he was going to make a sound, and now he stayed quietly in his stomach, even if it was here, it was not necessarily the safest place.

She couldn't help sighing, but her eyes became sharper, and her thoughts couldn't help but think of Huo Yongdie, "Zhu'er, from today on, no matter who I say to anyone, I am not well, and I am very strict, and I don't see anyone except the prince." Remember, especially the side concubines. ”

Zhu'er was stunned in her heart, sat beside her and asked, "Princess, today's incident is not just an accident, she takes fetal protection medicine on weekdays, and the princess's health has always been very good, but suddenly like this, could it be that someone is not good for the princess?" ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, although she didn't catch her, but decided that she had nothing to do with her, the person who disliked her the most in the East Palace was Huo Yongdie, and she was the person who threatened her the most after she became pregnant.

Naturally, she didn't want to get pregnant, and she didn't want to let herself give birth to a child, but in this case, she began to be courteous again, presumably she must have done something, but she hadn't caught the handle yet.

"We can't continue to tolerate it like this, or because I'm too soft-handed, if we start early, why would today's incident happen, fortunately, the child is fine, if anything......"

Xiao Wanyao's voice trembled a little, she was really scared at this moment, fortunately, she was taking prescriptions on weekdays, and probably because of this, she would escape this catastrophe.

It can be regarded as a reminder to her that none of the harmful people around her can be kept. Then it's time for her to make a move. Just wait.

It wasn't until the next morning that the prince returned to Minghe Palace with his tired body, and then he knew that Xiao Wanyao was bleeding during the day, and the whole person rushed to her like crazy, "Come on, go and call the imperial doctor." ”

However, Xiao Wanyao grabbed him, "I'm fine, I don't need to call the imperial doctor." ”

Guo Ping didn't comply, saying that he would have someone call the imperial doctor over, and at the same time blamed Zhu'er beside him, "Zhu'er, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If something happens to the child in the princess's womb, can you afford it? ”

Zhu'er hurriedly knelt down on the side, "The slave sent someone to call the prince, but at that time she couldn't enter the palace at all, and Cui'er had been waiting outside the palace gate, but the prince didn't come out after waiting all night, so the princess let her come back." The prince forgives his sins. ”

Xiao Wanyao said, "It's not about Zhu'er, don't blame her, and I'm fine now, don't worry." ”

Guo Ping looked at Xiao Wanyao's complexion was not so ugly, and when he saw a faint smile on her face, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and gently touched the back of her hand with his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." But why is there bleeding? Is there something wrong? I was fine when I saw you in my father's bedroom yesterday, why did this happen as soon as I came back? ”

He reached out and stroked her pale cheek, "What's the matter, makes you think so much." If you have something on your mind, you must tell this palace, and it may be better to say it. ”

Xiao Wanyao said softly, "Today, the Queen Mother said a lot to me in the emperor's bedroom, and she may have thought too much for a while. ”

Guo Ping paused, and glanced back at Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, you go out first, the palace has to say a few words to the crown princess." ”

After Zhu'er left and closed the door, the prince solemnly turned his head to look at Xiao Wanyao, "Do you know about the emperor's death?" ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded lightly, "Now I'm afraid everyone in the entire palace knows." ”

Guo Ping frowned and grabbed her hand, "Today, the Queen Mother let everyone leave, leaving you and the Imperial Doctor alone, what did she say to you to make you mind so much?" Almost hurt you. ”

Thinking of what the Queen Mother said to her, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, and lowered her head slightly, "The Queen Mother seems to have known that the emperor's body is no longer good, she said that if the emperor dies, you will be enthroned and become the emperor of Chu, and at that time the concubine will be the queen, a person from the Wei State, and when she is the queen of the Chu State, she naturally said a lot of warning words to the concubines." ”

After listening to Xiao Wanyao's words, Guo Ping was silent for a moment, this is very similar to the Queen Mother's tough methods, "The Queen Mother didn't threaten you anything, right?" He was worried that the Queen Mother would taboo Xiao Wanyao as a native of Wei, so he didn't want her to become the empress of Chu, or threaten her with any conditions.

Xiao Wanyao was stunned and hurriedly said, "No, how could the queen mother threaten the concubines, just ask the concubines to assist you and ensure the stability of the Chu country." ”

211

After Guo Ping heard this, the whole person was stunned, his expression at the moment was almost exactly the same as Xiao Wanyao's expression when he heard this, "Baochu country? Why do I say it to you? ”

"The concubine doesn't know why, so the concubine has been thinking about it." Looking at the puzzled expression on Guo Ping's face, she added, "Probably because the queen mother doesn't trust the concubine very much, thinking that the concubine is just a native of Chu, so she warns the concubine in this way, if you become the queen in the future, you must assist you well and manage the affairs of the harem. ”

When Xiao Wanyao said this, it resolved Guo Ping's doubts, he stretched his brows, and still held her hand, "This palace believes that you will be able to manage the harem for this palace." ”

Just as the two of them were talking, Zhu'er replied outside, "Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, Imperial Doctor Li from the Tai Hospital is here." ”

Guo Ping's brows furrowed slightly when he heard that it was the imperial doctor, with a hint of anger, "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to come?" Let him go back and call the imperial doctor from the Queen Mother. ”

The imperial doctor was just a doctor of the five grades of the Tai Hospital, so Guo Ping asked him to leave.

However, he was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, "Let him come in, the Queen Mother must have something to do when she summons the imperial doctor, not to mention that the concubine is fine now." It's just that if you don't feel at ease, you can let him see it, and you will be at ease. ”

Guo Ping hesitated, a person like the crown princess must be looking for a doctor from the imperial hospital, but he didn't expect that a royal doctor would come, he was still a little unwilling, but since she said so, there was no rebuttal.

He helped Xiao Wanyao lie down, and then put down the gauze tent, Xiao Wanyao put her wrist outside the gauze tent and waited for the imperial doctor outside.

After Guo Ping personally prepared for her, he asked Zhu'er to bring Imperial Doctor Li in.

When they came in, Guo Ping paused slightly after seeing the imperial doctor who came, "You are Li Zheng?" ”

Li Zheng saluted and said, "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince." "What Guo Ping said just now, Li Zheng also heard outside, the prince naturally didn't take him as a five-grade little imperial doctor in his eyes, and naturally wanted to invite the imperial doctor over.

But he didn't mind, at least in the end he agreed, as long as he approached the crown prince at this time, if he could cure the crown princess's illness, it would naturally be better.

Guo Ping frowned, remembering that this Li Zheng was originally a Jianghu Langzhong, and the reason why he was sent to the palace as an imperial doctor was that his father went out hunting, in order to chase a rare white tiger, he ran too far, and accidentally fell off his horse and was injured when he shot the white tiger. At this time, he met Li Zheng and treated his father's wounds.

His father saw that his medical skills were good, so he intended to keep him, and Li Zheng was good in the future, so he achieved the position of a five-grade imperial doctor from a small seven-rank doctor.

"The crown princess is pregnant, you must be careful when you take the pulse, if you can make the crown princess recover, the palace will naturally reward you." Guo Ping said, but he didn't leave.

Li Zheng knew that at this time, it was the time for him to show his skills, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check Xiao Wanyao's pulse, and he deliberately delayed for a long time before slowly withdrawing his hand.

Guo Ping stepped forward and asked, "Does Imperial Doctor Li know the cause of the crown princess's illness?" ”

Li Zheng looked thoughtful and saluted, "The crown princess is angry, so she must have reacted a lot." Guo Ping didn't know what he meant by this, but Zhu'er on the side said, "The crown princess is red today, and her face is pale and weak. ”

She was also in a hurry for a while, so she opened her mouth to tell these details, Li Zheng also hurriedly said, "That's right, it's like this after the fetal gas, if you don't see a big red, it will naturally not be in the way, and the princess needs to recuperate, if there is nothing else, it is best not to leave the palace, and not to see too many people." ”

Guo Ping frowned, it was his first child, and that woman was also his most beloved person.

"Then ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a pair of fetal protection medicine." Guo Ping said.

After that, he asked Zhu'er to take Li Zheng out, Guo Ping lifted the gauze tent and comforted her, "It's not in the way, it's just a little bit of tire gas, you have to be more careful in the future, and you won't be allowed to do anything like this again." Hongu was worried to death, but fortunately there was no major problem. ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, her eyes drooped, it seemed that no matter how many times she reminded her, they would always easily forget that she was also a healer. Maybe Guo Ping trusted his imperial doctor more, so he didn't argue anymore.

The emperor died, and naturally there were still many things to deal with, so in the next month or so, Guo Ping rarely came to Minghe Palace, and even if he came occasionally, he came and went in a hurry.

Xiao Wanyao saw from Zhu'er that Li Zheng's prescription was naturally the most common tocolytic medicine, and Li Zheng said that it was fetal gas, but it was just nonsense, she handed the prescription to Zhu'er, "Take it and throw it away, decoction according to the prescription I gave you." ”

Zhu'er took the prescription suspiciously, "Crown Princess, why do you want to throw it away?" Although he is not a doctor, he is also prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace of Chu State, so why not try it? ”

She just pursed her lips, and now she only believes in herself, "I'm not having fetal gas, then Imperial Doctor Li just wants to please the prince at this time, so there is no need to take such a tocolytic pill, remember, in the future, the decoction will be in the Minghe Palace, under the eyelids of the palace, no one is allowed to interfere except yourself." ”

Zhu'er knew that she was trying to protect herself, so she nodded, and still asked worriedly, "Then why is the crown princess bleeding?" Don't you take medicine? ”

She said, "I'll prescribe you a prescription in a moment, and you can decoction the medicine according to that prescription, but fortunately it's not very big." ”

"If it wasn't for the tire, why was it like that?" Pearls asked again.

Xiao Wanyao stared ahead, her deep eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze was sharp, and there was a touch of coldness in the depths of her clear eyes, "Someone must have done something to me, otherwise there would be no such reaction, and I have already checked my pulse and know what is going on......"

Speaking of this, she didn't continue, and the picture of Huo Yongdie's coming to Minghe Palace these days began to appear in her mind, except for her, the others were not without suspicion, but her behavior was too obvious, and she had to put the biggest suspicion on her. But she has never eaten what she gave, nor has she ever been in contact with her, how could she let herself take the abortion pill?

Fortunately, the measurement is not large, and it must not be eaten at one time.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned and couldn't help but open her mouth. remembered that Huo Yongdie came here not long ago, and happened to meet Guo Ping who also came over, and the three of them had a lunch here, at that time, Guo Ping also specifically mentioned that the fragrance on Huo Yongdie's body was different from the previous fragrance.

Xiao Wanyao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sneer, Huo Yongdie, you are so impatient to deal with me, I said, I will never be soft again in this life, and I will never let anyone hurt me again, I will also let you taste what it is like.

In the following month, the Queen Mother allowed her not to appear in all the ceremonies, but only to pay respects on special occasions. So Xiao Wanyao had a lot of time to stay in Minghe Palace, thinking about how to deal with Huo Yongdie.

Another thing, after Xiao Wanyao got the letter from Zhenling, she didn't open it, and she didn't know what was written in that letter until now.

A series of things after another overwhelmed her.

On this day, Xiao Wanyao's complexion was just a little better, so she asked Zhu'er to bring the letter. Zhu'er was still a little reluctant, she always felt that there was something important in the letter, and when Zhu'er handed the envelope to her, she persuaded, "The most important thing for the crown princess now is to take care of your body, and nothing else is important." Why don't you talk about something else later? ”

Xiao Wanyao reached out to take the envelope, but was dodged by Zhu'er, "Crown Princess, have you listened to the slave?" ”

She paused slightly, if it weren't for Zhu'er who would have stopped her in the past few days, she would have opened the envelope a long time ago, she was worried about Xue Tianao, and she didn't know what was going on with him now. Zhen Ling must have some news to tell him, "Zhu'er, give me the envelope, Zhen Ling must have brought some news, I have to take a look at it to rest assured." ”

Zhu'er carried the envelope behind her back, "Crown Princess, no matter what it is, it is not as important as your current body. And the slave maid asked Miss Shock, and she said that there was nothing wrong. ”

Xiao Wanyao looked at her, retracted her hand helplessly and shook her head, "Zhu'er, I've been with you for so long, but you have never lied in front of me." Even if it's well-intentioned, I don't want to. Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”

In the end, Zhu'er had no choice but to hand over the envelope to Xiao Wanyao, to be honest, she was also worried about Xue Tianao, and she also wanted to know his current situation, but she knew Xiao Wanyao better, she had decided to cut off everything between her and Xue Tianao, but until now, she still seemed to be unable to let go.

Although she always said that with her lips, and perhaps comforted herself like that in her heart, what she did betrayed her heart. Watching her open the envelope in a hurry, Zhu'er saw the expression on her face again, her concern and longing for him were beyond her imagination, she just couldn't see her own expression at the moment.

Xiao Wanyao looked at the contents of the envelope, but her expression was indifferent, and finally she handed the letter to Zhu'er, "Burn it, don't let others know." ”

Zhu'er paused slightly, thinking that this letter would hide something about Xue Tianao, and as long as it was his business, she would easily become at a loss. Seeing her flat face, Zhu'er asked, "What did Miss Shaker say?" ”

She went to the soft quilt behind her and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's not about him, it's about Gong Qing and our information transmission channels." ”

It turned out that after Xue Tianao was arrested, Gong Qing began to send people to investigate this matter, she was very cautious, although many people knew that Xue Tianao was missing, but she was the only one who knew what happened.

And the information channel between her and Wei Guo was intercepted after being discovered by Gong Qing, if it weren't for the fact that Zhenling asked Shangguan Yunfan to notify Xiao Wanyao when he came here, she still didn't know about Xue Tianao's disappearance.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. She can't go anywhere now, she can't do anything, all that's left is worry and day and night thoughts, and this kind of longing is always in the dead of night, when she is alone.

Zhu'er looked at her and comforted, "Crown Princess, you must pay attention to your body, no matter what happens to Xue Gongzi, you have his child in your belly, just for Xue Gongzi to make yourself strong." And Zhentian and Zhenling have already come here, Shangguan Gongzi will also help the crown princess, they will definitely find a way to find Xue Gongzi, don't forget that there is also Mingyu Gongzi in Wei State, they are all worried about you and worried about you. ”

212 Governing the country

Xiao Wanyao looked at her and nodded gratefully, she originally thought that this life would be a lonely life, but now that she thinks about it, there are so many people who care about her, even if they are not around now, they are still doing things for themselves and worrying about themselves.

She took a deep breath, now it can only be for the time being, she has to believe in her friends and her relatives, she believes that they will do their best to find Tianao, and she can only wait and see what happens for the time being.

In the following days, Xiao Wanyao rarely walked out of Minghe Palace under the pretext of being unwell, and every day in addition to letting Zhu'er accompany her back and forth in the palace, she read medical books in the house, or watched Zhu'er embroider and embroider those cute little clothes.

Now that the days have entered the early autumn, the emperor's affairs have been almost done, and the rest is the succession of the crown prince. At first, Xiao Wanyao was still a little worried, because in history, the emperor died suddenly, and not all princes could inherit the throne smoothly.

But Guo Ping didn't seem to be very worried, and then Xiao Wanyao asked, only to hear Guo Ping explain that when the emperor of Chu inherited the throne, the military power had always been in the hands of a few generals, and at that time he acted cautiously and spent nearly half of his life concentrating the military power in his own hands.

But as the emperor, after all, he lives in the palace all the year round, and he still needs to rely on those generals to go out to fight. Therefore, the emperor changed the military power system, and the army of Chu was divided into a centralized army, as well as a local army, and the local army was naturally in various places, under the direct jurisdiction of the local government, but the number was not large, and in addition to daily drills in peacetime, they basically went home to continue farming and production.

The centralized army was centrally managed, but it was distributed throughout the country, with a maximum of 10,000 soldiers per military office. There are dozens of such military governments in the state of Chu, and the military governments do not have the right to transfer troops to each other.

When fighting, if there is a need to transfer troops, the emperor will hand over the talismans in his hand to the authorized generals, and if tens of thousands of people are needed, he will give a few talismans, so that he is qualified to transfer troops from all over the country.

When he returns from the battle, the general will return the soldiers to the various military palaces, and return the military palaces to the emperor.

This also prevents the possibility of rebellion. Such reforms have only been implemented in recent years. In this regard, Guo Ping had never mentioned it to her before, but such a military and political system was very reasonable. It is also easier to control zhì, so that the emperor has real power in his hands.

Xiao Wanyao had to admire that the Emperor of Chu was a rare genius in governing the country. And after he made Guo Ping the crown prince, he also knew in his heart how cruel the battle between the court and the harem was, so he paved the way for Guo Ping all the way, let him go on an expedition to the Wei State, and made great achievements, plus after coming back, he cracked the case of the Cai family.

In the harem, Guo Ping's biological mother An Lanyu made many ministers in the court in order to make Guo Ping the emperor, coupled with the support of the queen mother, and the military power was not in the hands of individuals, so Guo Ping was far less worried about inheriting the throne than Xiao Wanyao.

After Guo Ping explained these things to her, Xiao Wanyao's heart suddenly brightened, it seems that when it comes to the way to govern the country, a woman like her has seen less.

At night, Xiao Wanyao couldn't sleep after lying down, so she got up and let Zhu'er grind, thinking carefully about the military power system that Guo Ping said, and recorded this system in detail.

Later, she asked Zhu'er to take what she wrote out of the palace and hand it over to Zhenling, so that she could transfer it to Mingyu, the military power of Wei was relatively chaotic, and the emperor was easily overturned because of the loss of military power, and became a famous and powerless emperor.

If she wants to build a real country in the future, these are things that need to be prepared. It is not difficult to conquer cities and conquer land in times of war, but in times of peace, how to govern the country is the real wisdom.

It was also from that time that Xiao Wanyao rarely read medical books anymore, but instead looked at the strategy of governing the country, even to the point of obsession, but she didn't expect that in addition to the medical book accident, there were so many interesting things.

It just so happened that during the time she was pregnant, she didn't have to go out to deal with the red tape, and her whole body was like getting into a book. to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

After Xue Tianao was arrested, Tang Siqi also knew the news here.

On this day, Tang Siqi summoned Zhao Muqing, the imperial master of Wei State, into the palace, and the reason why he summoned him was precisely because he captured Xue Tianao and designed the plan to frame the right prime minister.

At that time, it received strong support from Tang Siqi, but there was no news from Guo Ping's side, and Guo Ping has now ascended the throne as the emperor of Chu, and Xiao Wanyao has rightfully become the queen of Chu, which makes Tang Siqi can't help but feel angry.

At the beginning, she gave Xiao Wanyao to Guo Ping, just in exchange for the land she lost, and she also wanted to teach Xiao Wanyao a lesson, it was impossible for her to control her own destiny.

But I didn't expect her to become Guo Ping's confidant and the queen of Chu. It is not only Tang Siqi who hates this, but also his queen Xue Qinglian and Xiao Wanrou, who now lives under Mingyu, and her life is not easy now. Without the scenery at the beginning, Mingyu never took them seriously.

But this is all a later story, let's talk about Tang Siqi's summoning of Zhao Muqing first.

He let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect Guo Ping to ascend the throne and become the emperor so smoothly, and Xiao Wanyao also became the empress of Chu." But until now, I haven't even obtained the military power of my own country. He slammed his fist on the table.

Zhao Muqing stood below with an expressionless face and said, "Originally, I wanted to cede the land to Guo Ping, and then let him assist Wei to get rid of the right prime minister, so that the emperor could take back the military power from the right prime minister." But Guo Ping has not done it for a long time now, and Chen is worried that he has already changed his mind. ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Siqi was stunned for a moment and frowned, "I knew this was the case, I should have attacked Xue Tianao directly, and used Xue Tianao to coerce the right prime minister to hand over the military power." ”

Zhao Muqing said, "I'm afraid that won't work at all, the right prime minister has been assisted by the right since the emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor naturally understands his personality, for the sake of power, he can not hesitate to sacrifice his family, even if he threatens him with Xue Tianao's life, he may not hand over the military power, but in this way, it will make him make a living and rebel, at this moment Jiangnan is occupied by rebels, the emperor also needs the right prime minister, and he must not be provoked." ”

Tang Siqi suppressed the anger in his heart, "So what now?" If Guo Ping doesn't continue as planned, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Right will have some suspicions, and he still has people from Yan Kingdom, all of whom are sending people to investigate Xue Tianao's whereabouts. ”

Zhao Muqing was silent for a moment, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't see how much murderous aura was hidden in his eyes, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a touch of arc, which was inadvertently discovered by Tang Siqi, and asked, "What kind of trick do you have?" ”

"Weichen does have some ideas, but I don't know what the emperor wants."

Now almost all the military power of Wei is in the hands of the right prime minister. The military power system of Wei is not as centralized as that of Chu, the military power in the hands of the emperor is only the Praetorian Guard in the capital, and the reform system is not as fast as that of Chu, although Tang Siqi wants to take back the military power, but he is too hasty.

Tang Siqi was worried that Prime Minister Right knew that he was behind the design to frame Xue Tianao and would rebel, so the dead horse should also be a live horse doctor, so he said, "If there is any lie, Aiqing can say it." ”

Zhao Muqing felt that Tang Siqi was like a dog now, in order to keep his throne, whoever had a bone in his hand would follow whom, he smiled coldly and said, "The emperor can send someone to the Chu State to kill Xue Tianao, and then blame Guo Ping, and then the right prime minister will definitely order an attack on the Chu State because of the loss of his beloved son." When the time comes, the emperor will come to the imperial expedition again, collect the scattered military power into his own hands, and then plan how to separate the military power from the right prime minister little by little, naturally it will not be too difficult. ”

After listening to Zhao Muqing's lies, Tang Siqi clapped his hands and applauded, "This is a good idea, we can let them compete with each other for profit." ”

Zhao Muqing nodded affirmatively.

After leaving the palace of the Wei State, Zhao Muqing sat in the carriage, and when he thought of Tang Siqi's impatient appearance, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, what the Ninety-Five Supreme is nothing more than that.

Empress Xue Qinglian learned from the big eunuch beside the emperor that Tang Siqi summoned Zhao Muqing into the palace alone late at night, so she naturally knew that there was nothing good. So he informed his father-Xue Qinliang of the news overnight.

Xue Qinliang immediately sent someone to stare at Zhao Muqing, he suspected that Tang Siqi was trying to deal with him behind his back. Because no emperor can tolerate the power of his courtiers more than himself.

After having such a guess, Xue Qinliang naturally also had the idea of plotting to usurp the throne. It's just that he's waiting for an opportunity, a logical one.

In the State of Chu, Guo Ping was busy with the aftermath of the first emperor, and was preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and the matter was heavy, so naturally he had no time to think about Xue Tianao's affairs. And he has been imprisoned in a dungeon outside the palace.

Some of the concubines of the first emperor, those who had heirs all moved out of the palace to be supported by their heirs, and some who had no heirs were sent to the cold palace and waited for the old dead palace. The rest are naturally the most favored concubines around the emperor, and several concubines entered the ancient temple and prayed in front of the emperor's spiritual throne day and night.

Guo Ping's biological mother, An Lanyu, became the imperial concubine, and the empress of the first emperor naturally became the empress dowager, and the mother of the first emperor was canonized as the queen mother, and she lived in seclusion in the palace and never asked about the world.

Xiao Wanyao naturally moved into the main palace-Xiyun Palace to live, and still rarely went out to raise the baby with peace of mind. In view of the fact that the first emperor had just passed away, Guo Ping's choice of concubines was set in three years, after all, he only had the queen and two concubines by his side, so he naturally wanted to enrich the harem.

Late that night, a big eunuch in the palace hurriedly broke into the imperial study, disturbing Guo Ping, who was reviewing the folds, he frowned, put down the pen, "Who is the person talking outside?" ”

The father-in-law of the chief steward, Wu Yong, hurriedly came in from outside, "The servants returned to the emperor, and there was a fire in the Lidu Mansion outside the palace, and this kind of thing also came to disturb the emperor, so the servants let them go down to solve the matter." "After that, I turned around and wanted to go out, and the fire in the palace came to disturb the emperor, so did the people's homes have to be stolen and have to be returned?

Wu Yong was about to go out and reprimand the people outside, but he saw Guo Ping stand up suddenly, the Lidu Mansion is the place where Xue Tianao is detained, there must be something on fire, "Slow, Wu Yong prepares a sedan chair, I want to go out of the palace to see in person." ”

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Guo Ping had already stepped down from the stage and strode out, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to prepare a sedan chair, and temporarily mobilized the Praetorian Guards to protect him, and then accompanied Guo Ping out of the palace together.

Xiao Wanyao was preparing to sleep in Xiyun Palace, when the little eunuch from Guo Ping's side came and went, saying that the emperor was out of the palace. That little eunuch was naturally someone Xiao Wanyao had already bought. R1154
