It's not yet dawn, after. The masters of the palace have all freshened up, waiting for the queen to summon them, and they will go to the Baohua Hall to visit the draft together.

On this day, the sun was warm, and the show girls entered the Baohua Hall at one time.

Liu Menglu smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said to Su Xiang: "After a while, the concubine fell in love with that daughter, although she kept her card, the more sisters in the harem, the better." ”

Su Xiang looked at the show girl below and smiled: "That's nature"

Although Shi Han, Xian Concubine, Shi Shuyi, and Liu Xiyan also attended, they were only accompanying guests and had no right to decide, as for Su Mu, she was unwilling to wade into this troubled water.

Su Xiang raised her eyebrows and looked at the concubine, and asked in her heart. Didn't you call Zheng Wan and Hongren met by chance, how did you come to the draft girl, when the eunuch reported Zheng Wan's nationality, Liu Menglu has been silent, and the matter of playing chess with the emperor that night. No one in the palace knows, Liu Menglu thought about it, if he was not allowed to enter the palace, he was afraid that some people would say that he would lose the demeanor of the mother of the country. If he is allowed to enter the palace, in case he is really favored one day, he will not have one more fierce rival.

Su Xiang saw the virtuous concubine nodding to her, understood what she meant, and left a sign.

Liu Menglu, when she didn't know why, saw that Su Xiang left a sign, and she also left a sign.

Zheng Wan's hanging heart finally let go, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to thank her.

The virtuous concubine originally wanted her to meet Hongren outside the palace, but she still risked missing this draft, and I am afraid that she will have to wait another 3 years to have such an opportunity.

At the beginning of the morning, there was a break for an hour at noon, and at the end of the evening, only 20 show girls were selected.

Liu Menglu and Su Xiang took 20 show girls into Yongshou Palace.

After bowing, the Queen Mother asked the show girls to raise their heads. Feng Yan was furious.

"Queen, this is the show girl you chose this time?"

Liu Menglu had already realized that the Queen Mother would be angry, and she wanted to contradict it, but in fact, the Queen Mother was really angry, but she shrunk and didn't know what to say.

"Look at the age of these show girls you choose, they are all twelve or thirteen years old. How can you serve the emperor? How can you spread the branches and leaves for me in Western Xia? ”

Liu Menglu was speechless, but there was no way back.

can only continue to be obsessed and excuse himself.

"The Queen Mother forgives the concubines for their sins, and she never meant that. It's just that except for Zheng Wan, who is a little older, there is really no particularly dignified and decent. The concubines thought that it would be better to recruit some young women into the palace to train them well, and if they were trained in the palace, they would definitely be able to serve the queen mother well in the future. Liu Menglu paused for a moment and then added

"That Japanese concubine is sick, and the son goes to visit. also mentioned the draft, and the concubine also mentioned this opinion to the concubine. The younger ones will be trained in the palace and serve the emperor more smoothly in the future. ”

The Queen Mother's body was about to collapse again. Hongren is 30 years old and has no children under his knees, which is not conducive to the stability of the country, how can the queen not understand?

The Queen Mother knew that it was useless to say more. They all retreated, and no one was punished.

After the Queen Mother drank the medicine, she passed on to Su Mu.

"Concubine Yuan, do you know what will happen to the Son of Heaven if he has no heirs?"

"The Son of Heaven has no heirs, the foundation of the country is worried, the foreign ministers covet the country, and other countries invade it," Su Mu replied on his knees.

The Queen Mother asked word by word, "What is the consequence of this?" ”

Su Mu hung his head. Close your eyes and say, "The Western Xia Dynasty is exhausted"

The Queen Mother said sternly: "The show girls selected today are all twelve or thirteen-year-old women. Such a ridiculous thing will be known by the ministers tomorrow, and the queen is jealous of the country's face. But the queen was set up by the mourning family, and she will not be abolished today. ”

Su Mu lowered his head and listened, unconsciously, the distance between him and Hongren was getting farther and farther away, and he felt that it was really ridiculous, he had already married into the emperor's family, how could he be a couple for a lifetime. In this world. There is no emperor on this loess, only a queen.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother said: "The mourning family knows that you are a reasonable person, and the emperor has a deep affection for you. So you should live up to the emperor's grace. The mourning family will give you a heavy responsibility. ”

The Queen Mother didn't rush to speak, but got up and walked to Su Mu, helped Su Mu up, and took her cold hand, "The mourning family will hand over the great plan of reproduction of the heirs to you, and only you can persuade the emperor in the whole world." As long as you are generous, the emperor will never worry. ”

Su Mu listened to the Queen Mother for the Congress, but he couldn't stop his heartache in private.

For the Queen Mother, she would rather see her imperial grandson cannibalize each other for the throne a hundred years later, rather than see the emperor 30 years old and childless.

The emperor's heir is thin and the people's hearts are unstable, which is a sign of the exhaustion of the country's veins.

Since returning from Yongshou Palace, Su Mu has been sullen, and he promised the Queen Mother, saying that she would send a ** young woman to Hongren's side in the future.

Su An asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?" Why don't you smile again? Why don't I go to Changchun Garden and invite the opera to come over and sing for the young lady? ”

Gongying pulled Su An and sighed: "Miss walked back from the Queen Mother's palace, and the Queen Mother forced Miss to help the emperor take a concubine...... Miss, she agreed."

Su An nodded and said, "Although the young lady will be unhappy because of this matter, it is still a good thing to be favored by the Queen Mother." ”

Gongying also nodded in agreement.

"I hope Miss can see it as soon as possible, ordinary sons can have three wives and four concubines, let alone the emperor!"

Sunrise and sunset.

It has been two days since Liu Menglu went to the royal temple, and everyone knows that this is the queen mother's punishment for her jealousy.

In front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Scholar Liu stopped Su Mu and bowed: "The master of the concubine is Yi'an."

Su Mu hurriedly asked Su An to pull up his old man, and saluted: "You are too old, the emperor will exempt you from kneeling and bowing, and you don't need to kneel to me, if you have something, you might as well say it directly."

Scholar Liu looked ashamed and wiped his white beard

"The queen is innocent and kind, and jealousy is nothing more than a common disease of women, even in the eyes of others, no matter how wrong it is, the minister also hopes that his daughter is good. Yesterday I went to visit the queen, and the queen said that it was the idea you gave her, concubine. ”

Su Mu smiled and said, "The queen mother said to the Queen Mother that when she visited me, I offered her a plan. But as everyone knows, the queen never visited me when I was sick. ”

Su Mu is not lying when she says this, she is here to see if she has lost the fetus, and she didn't bring anyone except the personal maid.

Scholar Liu lamented: "Now I am old. Time in the world is numbered, and if I die, I am afraid that the position of the queen will not be guaranteed. The old minister implored the concubine to spare her life no matter what mistakes the queen mother made in the future. For the sake of the old minister's lifelong work for the country. I implore the concubine to promise the old minister. ”

Seeing Scholar Liu, Su Mu couldn't help but think of his master, and as soon as his heart softened, he agreed to Scholar Liu.

After Su Mu turned around and left, Gong Ling whispered: "If Miss doesn't agree, the president can't kneel down when he sees Scholar Liu's shelf." ”

"Scholar Liu has worked hard for the country all his life and shared worries for the monarch. If he doesn't agree, he really can't bear it. Older women, I understand. ”

Gong Ling carefully helped Su Mu up the stone steps.

"News from the house. Shi Zhenbang's brother Shi Zhenbang was on a business trip on the way to deliver military rations, and Xiangye meant to ask if he wanted to help say good things or play a book when the emperor came back, or be modest. ”

"The Shi family has entered the palace since Shi agreed. is very arrogant, so naturally he has to play a book, and the military rations are a matter of importance, and he is enough to be punished. ”

Something happened to the military rations. Hongren heard the inquiry and returned to the palace.

Su Sheng said: "The three armies have not moved the grain and grass first. Shi Zhenbang was negligent. didn't pay attention to the grain and grass, and the escort team was scattered, and was almost robbed by the Hu people. Shi Zhenbang's fault, the crime can be punished. ”

Shi Jingfang's face turned pale with fright, although the dog made a mistake, but it was also a crime that should not be punished

Before he could argue, Lord Lan had already seconded the proposal.

Shi Jingfang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the dog is at fault. You can make up for it in time, and ask the emperor to open up. ”

Lan Yuge played: "If it weren't for Su Xiang's second son, he would go to help. I was afraid that the grain and grass that went to the front line was taken away by the Hu people before I left the Kanto. In such a special period, if you don't make an example, how can you be united?"

Shi Jingfang was so angry that she almost lost her breath, and said for a long time: "Lord Lan actually seconded Su Xiang, the two families that were incompatible in the past can be deceived together because of their marriage?" ”

Wen Xiang Liu Yanxu saw that Shi Jingfang was very excited, and gave Shi Jingfang a look, telling him not to lose his words, but Shi Jingfang was annoyed and didn't say much.

Wen Xiang said: "This matter may not reach the front line, if the dog who executes Lord Shi will definitely make the people of the DPRK and China panic, it is not the best solution." It's better to give Shi Zhenbang a chance to atone for his sins. ”

Hongren raised his eyes and said coldly: "Atonement? I heard that Lord Shi's eldest son had carved up a lot of fertile land in the Fengzhou area, and he returned to Beijing without restraint. ”

Shi Jingfang knelt down, terrified, "Your Majesty, this is not true, although the dog is not a general who governs the country, he can read poetry and books to the fullest, Duan Duan will not do this, and I hope the emperor will see it."

Hirohito threw the notebook to the ground and said angrily, "See for yourself." Toyoshu's 100-person joint recital. But there are still doubts? ”

Shi Jingfang knelt and crawled to pick up the notebook, looked at the criticism sentence by sentence, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

It's been two years since all these things have passed, how can anyone still know? thought that he would ask his son to return to Beijing to change his mind and become a new man, but the matter was revealed......

Hirohito brushed his sleeves away.

Shi Jingfang grabbed the corner of Su Sheng's robe, and said with a depressed face: "Xiangye, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, and we have always been well water and not river water, and today such an old minister is dead, I really don't know where my Shi family offended you?" ”

Su Shengben, a military general, shook his hands hard, and Shi Jingfang, who was slashing, lay forward

Su Shengpu took the official robe, pointed at Shi Jingfang and said, "I don't know? Go back and ask your daughter what she did to the concubine! ”

The main hall was empty, Shi Jingfang was alone, lying on the ground, he knew what kind of person his daughter was.

It's probably because she provoked the concubine, eh.

Shi Han grinded and said: "Mu Mu, what do you say the emperor will do with Shi Zhenbang." ”

Su Mu put down his pen, stamped the seal of the empress, and said with a smile: "Hongren is not as cold-blooded as outsiders see, and he will definitely give Shi Zhenbang a chance to atone for his crimes, provided that he does not see Lord Shen's participation." ”

Shi Han approached Su Mu's face and said with a grin: "When the emperor was the crown prince, how ruthless he was, no one knew it, no one knew it, didn't you also say that the prince was a demon who killed people without blinking?" How can this say that the emperor is not cold-blooded! ”

Su Mu couldn't help laughing, staring at Shihan's evil smile, not knowing what to say. (To be continued......)
