Seeing that the New Year is approaching, something big happened in the palace.

It is already a well-known fact that the princes of the Qin clan who are scattered all over the country are already eyeing the Great Wei Dynasty. Since King Kang was defeated by General Hu Yong six years ago, he was shocked for a while, and although the turbulent waves turned into a torrent and undercurrent, after all, King Kang's hundred-legged insects died but did not stiffen.

Now the most powerful is the brother of the first emperor, King Zhuang Xian, who has many royal relatives under his command, and the two sons and one daughter born are married to the family, which can be described as illustrious. In the past few years, King Zhuang Xian has secretly colluded with the foreign clans of Fanbang, and he has intended to attack the court several times. It's just because when he moves, he moves his whole body, and because the Queen Mother shelters him every time, the Son of Heaven doesn't make a big move.

However, at the beginning of spring this year, it was obvious that the local situation was about to move. Although the scale of the several encounters was not large, it also meant that the original peace was broken. The emperor's frequent deliberations were due to the feeling that someone was secretly instigating, and a major war was about to break out, so he had to prepare early.

The predicament is far more than that, the queen mother's illness lingered on the sickbed for several months, and the princes actually jointly asked for a decree to go to Beijing. This move is to openly move the confrontation into the imperial capital, and the wolf's ambition is obvious. However, the emperor is no longer a young man, and he will not ask the queen mother for everything, he sealed the harem on the one hand, and secretly suppressed the power of the princes on the other. As a result, both sides were ready to send arrows, and for a while it became a tense situation.

On this day, the discussion in the imperial study room, everyone was bothering to fight or not to fight. It's just that now that King Zhuang Xian is personally involved in the matter of entering Beijing, I think he can't help it. If he is not allowed to play, it is inevitable that he will use this to break into the palace strongly. was arguing dryly, and suddenly heard a long report from the lieutenant official, "The Queen Mother Niang Feng has arrived." The people here are all confidants of the Son of Heaven, and they all looked frightened when they suddenly heard this news.

Yu Hao also put on his robe and stood up. Since he was in power, it has been rare for the Queen Mother to interfere so openly in political affairs. Even if the affairs of the DPRK and China were reported to the court, someone stepped into Fushou Palace on the back foot, but after all, it was a matter of avoiding people. When Yu Hao was secretly shocked, the door of the palace was wide open, and suddenly the light that counterattacked into him overflowed like flowing water. Everywhere you look, the Feng family is majestic.

The Qin family, led by the family, wore a homely stone green flowing vermilion cloud robe, embroidered with extremely light silk and purple flowers, and the color was calm and luxurious. When she walked, the Biling tassel brocade ribbon of the pressed skirt hung straight on both sides of the concubine-colored heavy silk long skirt, as if the dark fragrance was floating, which made her domineering arrogance even more flattering.

If you don't pay close attention to the delicately makeup face, it really makes people think that the Queen Mother has regained her vitality overnight. It's just that Qin's pale face finally exposed her bitter aura of relying on medicine to support these days. Yu Hao stepped forward to greet him, only to be shocked: "The queen mother's body has healed, why don't you lie down for more time." ”

"Naturally, you are looking forward to the mourning family lying down for a while." The Qin clan ignored him, and only walked straight to the dragon case. The dark green wide sleeves hung down on the bookcase, and she stretched out her hand to open a stack of chapters, but she glanced at the ministers silently, "You are a good assistant, seeing that everyone has attacked their backyard, they don't know it." ”

Her voice was not high, but her eyes were as sharp as a cold sword on her neck. No one dared to say more, and they all fell to the ground and begged the Queen Mother to calm her anger. Qin Shifu glanced at the Son of Heaven lightly, almost emotionless, and said, "The emperor has something to say to the mourning family." ”

"Queen Mother Mingjian, King Zhuang Xian and his ilk must not be put into the capital."

"You are confused! He led his troops into Beijing just to take the opportunity to show off his status, so you let him go. The Queen Mother sat down and only sighed, "Meddling in political affairs, it is definitely him who has exceeded the rules." But if you don't have these mediocre ministers by your side, why do you want others to clean up the mess of the court for you. ”

This blatant reprimand almost made the Son of Heaven lose face, and Rao is courtiers couldn't help but gasp. However, how could Yu Hao not know that King Zhuang Xian was a traitor to the party on the surface, but after that, he also had the secret support of the Queen Mother. She just wanted to exert pressure on herself in the court, on the one hand, she connived at King Zhuang Xian to commit rebellion, and on the other hand, she sent General Huyong to suppress it. All the positives and negatives are in her hands, and if she gains power, the center of gravity of the government will shift to the Qin clan in an instant.

At this moment, the ministers suddenly heard a voice like a bell above their heads: "The heart of Sima Zhao, King Zhuang Xian, is known to passers-by, is it the crime of the courtiers?" If I insist on tolerating adultery, sooner or later he will not be able to care about his mother's feelings. The affairs of the court are changing rapidly, and today's world is no longer in the hands of the queen mother. ”

Qin Shi stared at his anger and raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him—although he was like a crown of jade, he was not tame. I don't know when, a touch of sorrow between the young man's eyebrows turned into a real dragon domineering, which made people dare not look at it directly. The Qin family was suddenly shocked, is it because of Emperor Jin's concubine.

- Nope.

When Emperor Jin was there, he was just a new emperor who only knew how to rely on others.

The Queen Mother was surprised in her heart, and only said coldly: "There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two, if the emperor is willing to fight, what are the chances of victory." ”

"I, I ask the queen mother to hand over the talisman left by the first emperor."

"Vexatious!" She finally swept her sleeves, "What the first emperor entrusted, how can the mourning family let you use it to wantonly harm the common people!" ”

The emperor seemed to have expected her to respond like this, but he was not annoyed, and only said calmly: "The queen mother insists on this, and I can't do anything." It's just that all the courtiers here are all ministers, and the sons don't want any bad news to come out. As for the queen mother, it is the best policy to recuperate with peace of mind. ”

After that, he sat on the dragon chair with his clothes and sat on the dragon chair, and then didn't look at the Queen Mother. The ministers understood, and said in unison, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

At this point, this struggle for imperial power has finally reached its peak. However, Yu Hao's rigid attitude also made the ministers understand that he was no longer the obedient little emperor in the past. His reliability will make more powerful ministers rely on each other, and everyone in the palace knows for a while that the Son of Heaven is invincible. And after the Queen Mother conspired privately with the Qin family for many days, she was finally bedridden again due to the deterioration of her condition.

The disease came so badly, so violently. The woman who had sat on the side of the dragon chair seemed to have aged ten years overnight. The dry face in the bronze mirror, and the white hair that couldn't be hidden between the forehead hair made her extremely irritable. Everyone said that the Queen Mother was overworked, and now that there are many wars, she is already haggard.

And only this daughter of the Qin family, who had been in power, suddenly woke up on a stormy night, and said to He Ling, who had served her for many years, soberly: "Someone wants to kill the mourning family!" Emperor, Emperor, he can't wait! ”

At that time, the night was already dark, and the rainy night drowned out the luster of the day, and the wind was as cold as biting ice. The chrysanthemum in full bloom could not bear the burden of the night rain, and the petals fell silently, but there was a rustle of branches. The red candles dyed in the house had long been lost, and the smell of smoke and wax oil was mixed in the cold and humid air, and occasionally a trace of explosive light pierced the sky, reflecting on the Queen Mother's pale face very strangely.
