Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yan Palace
It has been sent to Handu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The beauty between Xiao Mo's eyebrows and eyes revealed the tenderness of his daughter's family, in order to prevent being seen through, Xiao Mo asked Xiao Liu to find a mask with a hideous face, and covered the upper half of his face tightly, who would have thought that under the fierce mask there would be a delicate and pleasing face.
Now that Ling Xu has become Ling Tianxu, the monarch of Yan Kingdom, and has become the sixth father-in-law of the eunuch from Xiaoliu, the master and servant have changed, and Yu Xiaomo didn't know if it was surprise or frightened.
Xiao Mo rode a horse and walked beside the royal car, looking left and right.
Handu City is bustling and prosperous, but after all, it is not her place in Xiao Mo's life.
When Ling Tianxu returned to the palace, he wanted to help him get rid of King Jing, who coveted the throne, and secondly, to find out the truth about his father's grievances, and to return the Qu family to a clean house.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, she will never let the enemies of Qi State go away for a lifetime, and she does not plan to stay in Yan Country for a long time.
After the mighty carriage and horse entered the palace city of Yanguo from Zhengyang Gate, they stopped in the square in front of the palace, and Xiao Liu helped Ling Tianxu get out of the car and walked towards the place where the ministers gathered.
Xiao Mo also dismounted, walked behind Ling Tianxu, and looked up to see that the black pressure in front of him was full of ministers who came to greet him, how magnificent the scene was.
The palace of Yan Kingdom behind the ministers is solemn and solemn, quite imposing, and compared with the extremely luxurious Qi Palace, each has its own merits.
The three halls in front are magnificent, the main hall is in front of the Emperor's Palace, and there is a matching hall in the east and west, which are the Regent Hall and the Lizheng Palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor." The ministers knelt down to greet them, and their voices were like thunder.
"Zhongqing is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Officials stood up one after another.
A person standing in front of the ministers cried with joy when he saw Ling Tianxu: "I heard that Your Majesty met an assassin in Jinshan and was injured, Your Majesty can return safely, it is really my great luck, the blessing of the ancestors and the ancestors." ”
This person looked old and still had tears in his eyes, which showed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, Xiao Mo guessed that this was most likely the King of Yanwen that Ling Tianxu said.
Ling Tianxu had lied about being the son of King Wen of Yan in the Kingdom of Qi, it seemed that the relationship between them was like a father-son friendship, no wonder King Wen was so excited to see Ling Tianxu.
Ling Tianxu smiled and said, "Uncle Wen doesn't have to worry, it's just a little injury, and I'm fine." ”
"It's really a small injury, it's just almost a whimper." Xiao Mo muttered in a whisper.
Ling Tianxu glanced at the people around him and asked, "What about King Jing?" ”
Xiao Mo, who was very bored by the conversation between the uncle and nephew, instantly cheered up, ready to catch a glimpse of the legendary villain Yan Jingwang, who had the ambition of the wolf son.
A voice said: "Back to Your Majesty, King Jing said that he was sick and was recuperating in the mansion." ”
"Sick? It seems that King Jing has done his best for Dayan, and he has worked hard, and I should reward King Jing well when I look back. ”
said that it was a reward, and everyone present could hear the contempt in Ling Tianxu's tone.
King Wen hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, King Jing has transferred 100,000 troops to prepare to attack the Qi State. ”
"I know that it is for this matter that I hurried back and ordered Ye Sheng to withdraw his troops, and this battle cannot be fought." Ling Tianxu was resolute.
"Your Majesty is wise, the world has been peaceful for decades, and now only my Yan Kingdom provokes a war, and the people will definitely complain, and the gains outweigh the losses." King Wen looked distressed.
Didn't see King Jing, although Xiao Mo was a little regretful, but he could see that this King Wen was also a person who cared about the people, and Ling Tianxu should have been more or less influenced by King Wen.
Xiao Mo expected that after helping Ling Tianxu recover the imperial power, if he wanted to change his view of the war, he might have to start with King Wen.
Only King Wen and Ling Tianxu agreed to withdraw the troops, and the other ministers all stood with their heads buried and silent, and no one expressed their opinions, I don't know if they had no opinions, or ...... I dare not speak.
Xiao Mo guessed that it was the latter, usually the monarch spoke, and even if someone objected, there would be ministers who would not hesitate to approve it, so as to curry favor with the king.
And now, the ministers neither oppose nor agree, there is only one reason, they don't dare!
If you are in favor of withdrawing the army, you will offend King Jing, and if you oppose the withdrawal, you will offend Ling Tianxu, and it will not please you to advance or retreat.
It can be seen that King Jing's status in the Yan Kingdom is equivalent to Ling Tianxu, like one country and two monarchs, and King Jing is in power, so Xiao Mo doesn't have to think about it to know that once the situation of seizing power unfolds, most of those ministers will stand on King Jing's side.
Therefore, Ling Tianxu's situation was even more difficult than she imagined!
At the beginning, the cowardly prince Qin He knew the importance of encircling the ministers and the powerful ministers, so he did not hesitate to use her, just to encircle the Qu family who held heavy troops and held a high position, which shows how important it is to help people around him in order to seize power.
Now Ling Tianxu has no helper by his side except for a King Yan Wen who has no real power, and it is not easy to deal with King Jing.
"I'll go see the queen mother first, and they'll all be scattered." Ling Tianxu finished and left.
Xiao Mo also followed, walking behind Ling Tianxu with Xiao Liu.
Behind the Imperial Palace is a city tower, which is lower than the Imperial Palace, the palace gate under the city tower is open, and when you enter it, it is a long corridor, connecting the harem and the previous dynasty, and both sides are high city walls.
The two doors in front of them slowly opened, and the sound was low and roaring, just like the solemnity of imperial power.
The escorted forbidden army stopped when they entered the corridor, standing on both sides, and only a few dozen forbidden palace guards followed Ling Tianxu into the door.
The field of vision broadened, Xiao Mo looked up, the front palace was layered, seemingly boundless, except that the architectural style was still more solemn, the harem of Yan Kingdom and the harem of Qi Kingdom seemed to be no different in size.
In front of the same open square, a group of people agreed to be black and oppressive waiting to greet them, but the scene seen at this time was different from before, because everyone here was greeted by the same color - women!
In addition to being the daughter of General Zhenguo, Xiao Mo's former identity is also the niece of Emperor Taihong's favorite concubine Xiao Guifei, and she is also the best candidate for the crown princess, that is, the future queen, entering the palace is as ordinary as going home, every time she enters the palace, the concubines are fighting for it, and all kinds of women in the palace have been seen since childhood, so Xiao Mo can tell at a glance which ones are female officials and which are concubines.
A group of women knelt down in their skirts, and Yingsheng said, "Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace." ”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Mo counted silently in his heart, and was immediately surprised, there were really a lot of concubines in Ling Tianxu's harem!
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The voices of these women are like yellow warblers out of the valley, without half strength, gentle as water.
When they stood up, Xiao Mo glanced at these women and couldn't help but sigh, they were all beauties.
This situation made Xiao Mo even more impressed by the person standing in front, he didn't expect Ling Tianxu to be so young, but the harem was even better than Emperor Taihong, who was already middle-aged.
Xiao Mo took a closer look at the concubines, judging from the outfits, the queen was not there.
Although the woman at the head of the row is richly dressed, she wears a gorse hairpin on her head, and her status should be above the concubine position.
This woman has an elegant figure, noble demeanor, and the scarlet forehead between her eyebrows makes her already extraordinary appearance even more delicate, and she looks more mature and dignified than other concubines.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Ling Tianxu arched his hand.
Xiao Mo's gaze fell on the Queen Mother, who was surrounded by all the concubines.
The Queen Mother is dressed luxuriously, but she is not young, and she is older than Xiao Mo imagined.
Ling Tianxu's age is only double ten, and even if this queen mother is less than sixty, at least half a hundred, if it weren't for the similarity between the eyebrows of the mother and son, no one would believe that she would be Ling Tianxu's mother.
The Queen Mother, like King Nawen, saw Ling Tianxu with tears in her eyes and shouted, "Emperor." ”
The scene of the deep love between mother and son also touched Xiao Mo, just because in this life, she is no different from an orphan.
The Queen Mother reproached softly: "What are you going to do in Qi Kingdom, do you know how worried the Queen Mother is." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother doesn't think about tea and dinner all day long, and it is difficult to sleep at night, and the concubines are distressed when they look at it."
This gentle voice was pleasant, Xiao Mo looked in the direction where the voice came from, and it was another concubine who spoke, sixteen or seventeen years old, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, looking forward to a variety of colors, and she was extraordinarily beautiful and moving.
