That day, after Qin Fei scolded the Manchu civil and military forces in the court, these people didn't dare to take a breath at that time, and when they got down to the court, they all crowded to Cui Zuoxiang to complain to him.

Cui Chenggang waited quietly for them to finish speaking, and then said lightly, "Your Majesty and the queen are young couples, so it is inevitable that the relationship will be stronger." Since His Majesty said that this is his family matter, then why should we talk about it again? On the contrary, it angered Long Yan, according to the old man's opinion, we just need to do the things at hand and sort out the various functions of the six departments clearly, so that the saint does not have to be busy with state affairs, worry about some trivial political affairs all day long, and have more free time to accompany the sick queen mother, this is the real worry for the king! ”

Many ministers have shown puzzled looks, this left minister also said yesterday that the new emperor's style of favoring one person is unacceptable, it is a precursor to the death of a woman, and he must let the saint choose to seal the harem, in order to share the queen's favor, and give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible. Why did he change his words and say that they should work hard, so that Emperor Yuanjia would have more leisure to continue to pamper the queen, has Zuo Xiang already succumbed to the obscenity of His Majesty?

Only a few of the left-sided henchmen with bright brains immediately understood his intentions, this was to let the new emperor indulge in the gentle countryside when the foundation was not stable, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to empty him! Even if he is good at fighting, what is the use of his soldiers, his generals are all stationed on the front line to fight against the Jinren! This court is not the same as the battlefield, he can win the gold man, but he may not be able to play the court. If Emperor Yuanjia wants to be politically connected, he has to rely on their group of ministers, as long as the real power of some national economy and people's livelihood is in their hands, hehe!

So after being nodded by these people, a group of ministers began to praise Zuo Xiang's wisdom and wisdom, in the end, this ginger is still old and spicy!

It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor didn't cooperate, and he didn't come out of Kunning Palace every day like before. In the past, they were clamoring to face the Holy Qi to perform political affairs, and they ignored them, but now they don't want to disturb His Majesty the Emperor, but they take them to the Wenhua Hall every day to find their trouble, and ask the various government affairs of the six departments one by one. The Manchu Dynasty was miserable, and they came to complain to Cui Zuo.

Although Cui Chenggang already had a plan in his heart, it was inconvenient for him to explain it to them, except for warning them to be cautious, not to be caught, and to appease them a few words, there was nothing to say.

It was so easy to send them away, and Cui Chenggang sat alone on the Taishi's chair with his eyes closed, thinking about his current situation. Suddenly, he heard a ringing sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his wife Cui Kexin who walked in.

This Cui Kexin was originally the palace maid of the Empress Dowager Sun, and because of the favor of the Sun family, she not only gave her the surname Sun, but also married her to Cui Xiang as a second room. After Cui Xiang's original wife passed away, with the support of Empress Dowager Sun, she broke the rule of 'no concubines as wives', and was straightened from a concubine room to the main room, relying on the status of the left minister, and became one of the best ladies in the capital.

Although she relied on the support of the Empress Dowager Sun to rise to prominence, but after getting married and having children, she left her old master behind, and sang with her husband wholeheartedly, and later helped her husband Cui Chenggang deal with her old master.

When the Empress Dowager Sun's crime of poisoning Emperor Xiaowen Qin Min was revealed, and she was stripped of the Empress Dowager's position and given to death with a cup of poisoned wine, the Sun family and the party were scattered, and Sun Kexin, the wife of Zuo Xiang, quickly removed the surname Sun in front of her name in order to draw a clear line with the sinners, and changed her surname from her husband's surname to Cui Kexin.

Although she thought that this move to change her surname was very much in line with Xiangye's thoughts, when she told Xiangye to know, her husband, who had been with her for many years, still didn't even reward her with a smile.

Although she was helpless, she also knew in her heart that this prime minister had no affection for her from the beginning, and the reason why he married her and straightened her was just to please the Empress Dowager Sun at that time. Later, when he was full-fledged, and she was old and decrepit, he never went to her room again, and if he had not had some business that required her lady to walk in the back house and take care of him, he was afraid that at the end of the year, she would not even be able to see him again.

Although he was an old husband and wife, Cui Kexin still respectfully bowed before he spoke: "Xiangye ordered someone to call the concubine, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"The fourth child who revealed the news in the queen's palace to us before has been found out by the one on the dragon chair and killed with a cane." Cui Chenggang said lightly, as if he was saying something completely unrelated to him.

Cui Kexin couldn't be so calm with him, and called out with an "ah", "What about Queen Qinghe?" What can be affected? ”

This Queen Qinghe is the concubine Qin Min married when he was the king of Yingchuan - Cui Xiang's eldest daughter Cui Qijun. Back then, her father and mother tried every means to marry her to Qin Min, just so that she could one day become the mother of a country. I don't want Qin Min to be the emperor as they wished, but he only served for one day and returned to the west.

Emperor Yuanjia gave his brother Emperor Xiaowen, and he was extremely sad about the aftermath, but he did not treat his brother's widow very well, because Cui Chenggang was from Qinghe, so he ordered the palace people to call her the queen of Qinghe, and randomly allocated a very remote palace in the palace for her to live in.

Not to mention that Cui Xiang and his wife are suffocating for their daughter, even Cui Qijun herself is unwilling, she thinks she is talented and good-looking, and she has scheming methods, but unfortunately the husband she married is not only a tuberculosis ghost, but also doesn't like her, and he never had sex with her until he died. That's fine, anyway, she married him not for his love, but for the dignity he can bring to her. And now, her dream has come true, and she finally has the name of a queen on her head, but what is the use of her name as the queen of the previous emperor? It's just a false name!

On the contrary, the orphan girl Zhou who was not looked at by her at all back then actually became the queen and replaced her as the new master of Kunning Palace. Originally, the fate of her husband who was now widowed should have fallen on the head of the Zhou family, because the person Qin Min, the king of Yingchuan, wanted to marry at the beginning was the orphan daughter surnamed Zhou, and she was selected as the concubine of Qin Fei, the king of Linchuan.

In fact, when she learned that Qin Fei had robbed the Zhou family who was destined for his brother, she was overjoyed in her heart, who wanted to marry a county king who couldn't have children and had no hope of inheriting the throne! Later, when Qin Fei changed her to Qin Min as a concubine, she was even more excited, feeling that God really favored her, so that her wish would come true and marry King Yingchuan, who was the most promising to inherit the throne.

Now it seems that the Zhou family is really the person favored by God, there is no need to marry Qin Min and keep the widow alive and then the widow, but the husband and wife are honorable, the mother is the world, and even the child has been born, so how can she not be jealous? Originally, this qiē belonged to her, if she had married Qin Fei in the first place......

It's a pity that there is never an if in this world, what she can do is to follow her mother's wishes in her indignation, and let a little palace maid who was previously placed in Kunning Palace want to find out some news for her.

Although the days she lived in Kunning Palace were short, she also attracted a few palace people, although most of the people she installed were transferred out by Emperor Yuan Jia when the Zhou family stayed in Kunning Palace, and there was only one small palace maid and four sons, Xu was the lowest miscellaneous palace person, and he couldn't even enter the side hall, so he still stayed in Kunning Palace. This little girl also has some ability, and I don't know what method she used, but she actually found out a sentence or two about the diagnosis of the imperial doctor when Zhou gave birth.

It was because of the news sent by his daughter from the palace that Cui Xiang instructed Wang Yushi to shake out the letter in the court, and challenged Emperor Yuanjia, wanting to force him to choose the harem, so as to take the opportunity to marry his youngest daughter Chengjun to the palace. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Jia was a powerful character, and he directly beat their plot into slag by being arrogant and tough.

Cui Chenggang saw that this path could not be followed, so he wanted to boil a frog in warm water and slowly set him up in the government, but it turned out that in addition to being arrogant and tough, his brain was not slower than them at all, and he was not a foolish master in court politics. Seeing that this Emperor Yuan Jia's oil and salt did not enter, it was so difficult to deal with, Cui Chenggang thought about it again and again, and finally decided to take a risk and attack Emperor Yuan Jia's only weakness. Unexpectedly, as soon as he made up his mind, his Cui Jia'an's only eyeliner in Kunning Palace had also been pulled out by Emperor Yuan Jia.

"Looks like we'll have to think of something else." Cui Chenggang thought to himself, but still said lightly: "I didn't hear any movement from the palace of Queen Qinghe." You are the queen's mother, and you can enter the palace to meet you on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. On the first day of the next month, you go into the palace to take a look, and if you can still see your daughter, then I think there will be nothing wrong. After all, I taught her since I was a child that there is one thing to remember in everything - don't put yourself in it. ”

Cui Kexin promised to answer a few times, she couldn't be as calm and calm as her husband, and she was anxious and anxious for more than ten days, and as soon as she waited until the first day of the ninth month, she took a carriage to the gate of the palace and handed over a sign to ask for a meeting.

According to the ceremony, she had to go to Kunning Palace to meet the current queen - Queen Zhou before she could go to see her own daughter, Queen Qinghe. However, Emperor Yuan Jia was afraid that the audience of those internal and external women would disturb Queen Zhou, so he had already made a decree, saying that the queen should recuperate in peace, and before the phoenix body healed, stop the visit of the internal and external women to ask for peace.

Although there was this edict, Cui Kexin still followed Cui Xiang's instructions, and first went to the outside of Kunning Palace to kowtow to the main hall to say goodbye. Then I went to the Hanqiu Courtyard where Queen Qinghe lived.

At the beginning, when she saw that she could still see her daughter, she let go of most of her heart, thinking that her daughter was clean and had not been found on the head, and when Cui Qijun told her uneasily that since Si'er was killed by a cane, the number of palace people serving in Hanqiu Courtyard had doubled, she felt that something was wrong, comforted her daughter a few words, and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her husband to get an idea.

When Cui Xiang heard this, he was also silent for a long time, the number of palace people in his daughter's palace had doubled, and such a big movement did not reach his ears, which shows how tightly Emperor Yuanjia's control of the palace is now, and it has only been a few days?

He pondered for a moment before he said, "What are you panicking about?" It's just to send more people to wait for our daughter, Queen Qinghe is his brother's widow, Emperor Xiaowen's bones are not cold, he won't do anything to Queen Qinghe, not to mention that the queen and my father, the head of the ministers, are here! ”

"You don't know anything, every fifteenth day of the new year, go into the palace as usual to greet Queen Qinghe. But if there is any movement in the palace, come back and tell me about it. He didn't believe that this Emperor Yuanjia could really keep the palace up and down, and there was no flaw.

As a result, on the fifteenth day, Mrs. Zuo Xiang handed a sign in front of the palace gate to ask for a meeting, but the reply was that Empress Qinghe vowed to pray for the Buddha for the first emperor in the quiet room, and she had no time to see her, so she was invited to enter the palace again in the New Year. In the remaining months, she was not allowed to enter the palace again.

When Cui Chenggang heard the news that his wife brought back, Rao is that he had always been happy and angry, and he couldn't help but have an angry look on his face, is this Qin Fei using him as a monkey? Whether he asked his wife to see his daughter or didn't let him, he was changing his way to warn him, and by the way, he showed off his strength as an emperor.

However, his gloom was swept away when he heard Cui Kexin say another news.

"Xiangye, when I walked back from the palace gate today, I felt a little tightness in my chest, so I opened the curtain of the car window, leaving only a gauze curtain, I could see the outside, but I could never see the inside of the car. I didn't go far, I saw a carriage coming, passing by by mistake, because the curtains of the carriage opposite were all lifted by a little baby, I accidentally glanced at it, how did I see a person! ”

"Although I haven't seen each other for three or four years, I will never admit my mistake, the woman sitting in the car is none other than the eldest grandmother of our family's nurse, Zhao Yizhi, the eldest lady of the Zhao family in Anyuan Bofu! Didn't it be said that their husband and wife disappeared in the chaos army? Why did she suddenly come to this Dali City. I remembered the instructions of the prime minister, no matter what happened, I couldn't act rashly and startle the snake, so I didn't dare to make a noise, and quietly sent someone to follow behind to see that her carriage was actually going straight to the palace! ”
