Chapter Ninety-Nine
An Qingchen recounted the Liu Sisi incident in detail, and then asked, "What does my father think about this?" ”
An Mingxia looked at Qingchen's sparkling eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What does Chen'er think?" ”
An Qingchen told the truth: "My daughter thinks that Zhou Xiao is taking the opportunity to weaken the power of the Liu family, and it just so happens that her daughter has become the knife he borrowed, which has affected the general's mansion." ”
"Chen'er thinks too much, you are the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is you, it doesn't matter if you are involved or not. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you, the emperor wants to deal with Liu Xiang, even if he doesn't have you, he will find other opportunities; And if the emperor trusts Anfu, whether you become the knife he borrowed or not, he will still trust Anfu. Don't worry, the worst outcome is to resign for your father. If that day really comes, there is nothing to regret, and it is not comfortable to be a father who happens to be at ease with your mother. ”
"Father......" Qingchen was really moved, she, the father, really had nothing to say to her.
"The only thing my father can't let go of is you, leaving you alone in the palace, if there is no one in the court to help, I'm afraid you will ......"
"Father doesn't have to worry about his daughter, father forgot, his daughter's kung fu is not weak, besides, Zhou Xiao is still good to me."
"Chen'er, it's easy to dodge with open guns, it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, there are many dirty things in the palace, and Chen'er is too simple-minded......"
The conversation between the father and daughter ended in An Mingxia's chattering worry, now that he knew An Mingxia's thoughts, An Qingchen was fearless.
After the morning of the second day, the ministers were in an uproar, Liu Sisi, the daughter of Liu Xiang, falsely passed the holy decree and was sent to the prison, Liu Xiang wanted to protect his beloved daughter and took the initiative to resign. Emperor Xianning only cut the position of Liu Xiangzuo, and ordered him to be in charge of the national prince, responsible for the teaching of the future prince, and now the prince has not yet been born, Zhou Xiao ordered him to teach the future prince of the Mowang Mansion who was raised in the palace: Mo Xu. Because the Liu family had helped Taizu ascend the throne and made great contributions, Zhou Xiao spared Liu Sisi from prison and was grounded for three years. At this point, the glory of the Liu family is no longer there, and some courtiers who have a deep friendship with the Liu family are even more in danger, and they have gone to the general's mansion to listen to the news, and by the way they ask for asylum. Nowadays, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is this Anfu that has the power in the sky. The sister of the An family has become the current queen, and An Mingxia, the general who protects the country, has made new military exploits, and her position in the court is as solid as a rock.
A few days ago, Lord An took leave to the emperor, took the general's wife, and traveled with the monks. At first, some people thought that this was an excuse for An Mingxia to refuse to meet, but after coming three times, they were convinced that An Shuxia was really wandering, so they had to sigh and leave.
An Qingchen looked at his father's actions, smiled secretly in his heart, and took his wife to travel, which is also a good way to avoid the limelight. She has to go to the palace today, and she has been back for several days, and she has never seen Xu'er, hearing that Zhou Xiao wants "Lord Liu" to teach Xu'er, she is a hundred reluctant in her heart, what if he instills bad thoughts into Mo Xu behind his back, no, this matter must make Zhou Xiao give in.
An Qingchen hurriedly entered the palace, and no one stopped him along the way, just because of a token that Zhou Xiao gave her when he parted, he handed the token to her: "You must enter the palace every day to ask me for peace." Qingchen scoffed, every day, when the morning is still there, the General's Mansion is so far away from the palace, and it doesn't make people sleep lazy? So Qingchen hasn't used this token for so many days, and going to see Mo Xu today came in handy. Qingchen swayed all the way to the direction of Xingyueju, this time to Nanyang, for a while, I don't know how Mo Xu's guy looks. Just thinking about it, a person came on the road, knelt down in front of her and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor is waiting for Queen Mother in Huayang Palace." ”
Qingchen was very puzzled, the ceremony had not yet been held, how could everyone in the palace know that she was the queen's mother. An Qingchen didn't know, the news in this palace spread the fastest, such an important matter, how could you not know as a subordinate, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, if you don't care, your head will be lost.
While Qingchen was pondering, the people of the palace were still kneeling on the ground, not moving at all. Qingchen hurriedly said: "You get up first and follow Zhou ...... Your Majesty, I went to Xingyue Residence and went to Huayang Palace. ”
"Queen Mother, if the Emperor wants to see Lord Mo, go directly to Huayang Palace, Lord Mo went to Huayang Hall early this morning to ask the emperor for peace."
Such a child has to go to ask for peace early in the morning, this is too inhumane, Qingchen is speechless, anyway, Huayang Hall is not far from Xingyue Residence, and it doesn't hurt to go to Huayang Palace.
Seeing this, the palace people immediately got up and led the way in front.
Before entering the palace gate, Qingchen heard the sound of playing in the hall, and Mo Xu's immature voice kept shouting: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang ......"
Qingchen couldn't help but wonder, this week, it seems that the wound is almost better. As soon as she stepped into the temple door, Mo Xu crashed into her arms. Qingchen picked him up and said with a smile: "Xu'er still knows me." ”
Mo Xu stared at his round eyes, and after a while, he said, "Auntie, aunt!" ”
At this time, Zhou Xiao also greeted him, and deliberately said with a cold face: "Queen, are you guilty?" ”
Qingchen hugged Xu'er and said, "I don't know the sin." ”
"I ordered you to enter the palace every hour to say goodbye, why did you only come today?"
"Oh, I forgot." This kind of thing is the most laborious and costly, and it is better to leave the strength to do things that are beneficial to the society.
"But if you know that you can change your mistakes, I won't punish you today."
When Qingchen heard this, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip: "Your Majesty, I don't have any opinion on you letting Liu Xiang be the prince to teach the future prince, but why does Xu'er want him to teach?" Can't you find another position? "He's really going to teach Xu'er crookedly.
"I have also been concerned about this matter, but the affairs of the Liu family need to be taken slowly. At present, only Taifu is the most suitable position, one does not lose his identity as the left minister, and the other is that the position of Taifu has no real power, and secondly, let him teach Xu Erzhen to take the opportunity to supervise from time to time to prevent him from doing any wrongdoing. Fortunately, Xu'er is still there, and after a year and a half, it's not too late to deal with it slowly. ”
When Qingchen heard it, Zhou Xiao's words made sense, so he shut up and didn't say more. Zhou Xiao looked at An Qingchen, who was teasing Xu'er in his arms, and suddenly said, "Chen'er, I have decided to hold a post-sealing ceremony in January." ”
"What?" Qingchen was shocked, why was it so sudden: "Isn't it better to wait for another three years?" ”
"Hold a ceremony after sealing first, correct your status, and let those who are lucky have no thoughts. After the ceremony, you can still live outside the palace, but you must enter the palace for one night on the first and fifteenth days of each month to show the peace of the emperor and queen, and I will not restrict you from other actions, do you think it's okay? ”
Qingchen thought for a moment, and felt that this mention was not bad, so he said: "When I go back, I will think about it carefully, and I will give you an answer when the sun sets tomorrow." ”
"Okay, then tomorrow I will send someone to ask."
On the second day, before the people sent by Zhou Xiao arrived, Nanyang first came with news: Xiao Yao, Tianlei and others had been subdued and were about to be sent to Kyoto immediately, and all the private mines in Nanyang were returned to the government and jointly operated by the Mo family and the royal family.
Hearing the news, Qingchen was speechless in his heart, Zhou Xiao's trick was too ruthless, he was convicted without trial, he really wanted to add to the crime, there was no excuse! It wouldn't be that even the gang of black-clothed people who assassinated were arranged by Zhou Xiao himself, deliberately set up such a bureau, and he would get all the places in Nanyang, and he would really save the country. If that's the case, then Zhou Xiao is really too dark, and he is an emperor.
It's just that these are no longer important, the end has been achieved, and as for the means, it is not her concern.
Not long after the news came, the old housekeeper of Mofu came to the door in person, his face was full of joy, and even the wrinkles were smiling deeper: "Sister An...... Sister An...... Good news, good news! ”
An Qingchen hurriedly stepped out to greet him and said, "The old housekeeper also got the news when he came here. ”
"Yes, yes, the emperor wants to hand over all the jade mines in Nanyang to the Mo family for management, this is really great news......"
"Then should the old housekeeper make a plan early, once the jade mine starts to operate, there is obviously not enough manpower, and there are so many jade mined out, should the jade family's silver building and jade building open a few more, and should the master of jade carving also invite a few more......
"Yes, yes, my sister is reasonable. Oh, by the way, Xianzu has returned from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that he will be in Kyoto in a few days, and he wrote that the matter of building a jade building in Shengjing in the Southern Tang Dynasty has already been raised, and it has been a happy event recently! ”
Before the two of them were finished, the palace people sent by Zhou Xiao arrived at the door......
