Xiao Yue firmly believes that he still has a chance, and Uncle Xiao Yang is not invincible.

However, his faith could not stop Emperor Chu from sending a holy decree to Yanjing.

Emperor Chu in Jinling was no longer reconciled, because he had an oath in front of him, Emperor Chu could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Every time he went to court, he would be overwhelmed by the fold of the invitation, and he couldn't pretend to be confused at all, pretending not to see.

Emperor Chu didn't expect that the hundred officials would be so united.

His refusal to award meritorious heroes based on his military exploits will make more people feel cold, and even the people in the south secretly criticize Emperor Chu for not keeping his word and being too stingy.

Since ancient times, knighthood based on military merits has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Xiao Yang was far away in Yanjing, but he was able to control zhì and promote some forces to pave the way for himself to become king, which made Emperor Chu feel that Jinling was not very safe, and he felt more and more strong of the Xiao family.

Fortunately, Empress Zhao secretly sent a letter back to Emperor Chu, informing Emperor Chu that the Xiao family was not monolithic, and seemed to be united on the outside, and there was a dispute between Jingbei Hou and Xiao Yang.

Similarly, Xiao Yue, Marquis of Jingbei, has also been guarding against his nephew Xiao Yan.

The news about the Xiao family sent back by Empress Zhao was more detailed than that of the secret agents sent out by Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu felt sorry for Empress Zhao, but he didn't want to think about the danger that Empress Zhao faced in the hinterland of the Xiao family.

Occasionally, when he saw the letters of the six princes asking for help, Emperor Chu also turned a wisp of Empress Zhao's difficult thought in his mind, and then he soon thought that as long as he was still in control of the south of the Yangtze River and was the son of heaven of the dynasty, the Xiao family would not dare to do anything to the queen no matter how bold he was.

If he can stand, the queen will be honored and safe.

******

The decree enshrined Xiao Yang as king arrived in Yanjing.

The chamberlain holding the holy decree went to meet Empress Zhao first.

At this time, Empress Zhao had already lived in the imperial palace of Yanjing and lived in the queen's bedroom.

"The emperor will let a few of you come to the north with the holy decree to read the will of the king?"

Empress Zhao was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, sitting on a high phoenix seat, condescendingly looking down at several unknown eunuchs holding holy decrees.

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid had just been promoted. ”

The chamberlain is not only restrained, but also very timid.

Empress Zhao was tired from her heart, and waved her sleeves: "You present the holy decree." ”

"Your Majesty, the Emperor asked the slave to read out the ...... in person"

"Oh?"

Empress Zhao smiled playfully, "The emperor asked you to read out the will of the king, do you dare to stand in front of Xiao Yang?" I can't even understand the words, stupid and stupid, aren't you afraid that Xiao Yang will cut off your head? ”

Gonggong Li stepped over, snatched the holy decree directly from the trembling inner servant's hand, and kicked him hard, "You still dare to come to the north to read the holy decree?" Whose path did you climb up? It's not enough to embarrass the masters. Don't even listen to the queen's words, do you want to go back to the Huanyi Bureau? ”

In the palace, he entered the Huanyi Bureau and there was no more future.

The little eunuch's face turned white with fright, and he kowtowed again and again: "The slave knows her mistake." ”

"The holy decree will stay here in the palace first, and you go down first."

Empress Zhao waved her hand, "Neishou Li, settle down a few of them, don't let the Xiao family see it." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly withdrew, and as soon as he retreated to the door, he heard Empress Zhao, who had unfolded the holy decree, sigh softly, "It's a few lives." ”

The eunuch who came to the north looked at Gonggong Li pitifully, isn't this trip fat?

How can you listen to the meaning of the mother seems to be very dangerous?

Gonggong Li said with a smile: "I didn't even understand the situation and went to the north to die, and it was also the queen's master who was kind and saved your life." The Xiao family has been preparing for the title of king for a long time, Xiao Gongzi is the only king of the opposite sex in our dynasty, and he is also a great contributor to the expansion of the territory of the dynasty. On such a grand occasion, let a few of you brainless fools read the decree? ”

"You really think that the northern land is also under the command of His Majesty?"

Gonggong Li's flexible eyes wandered twice, and then looked around cautiously, creating a very dangerous and unsafe feeling, "The queen mother let Jingbei Hou nod and move into the palace because of poisoning. ”

The tone is very meaningful.

The little eunuchs are not all stupid, they nodded again and again and thanked them, it was not the queen mother who received the holy decree, they were only afraid that their lives would be in danger.

How can the king's will be read by their imperfect eunuchs?

It's only right to hand it over to the queen.

Gonggong Li nodded secretly, slapped two sweet dates to eat, and ordered someone to lead them down, and offered them delicious and delicious.

After settling down, he returned to his mother lightly.

Empress Zhao smiled on her lips, the pearl tassels hanging from the phoenix crown swayed, and the smile that did not reach the bottom of her eyes made her whole person a little more cold.

"Master......"

"See."

Empress Zhao raised the holy decree in her hand, and the corners of her eyes showed a hint of mockery, "I don't know which genius gave His Majesty the idea to send a few eunuchs who didn't do anything to read out the will of the king, did he make Xiao Yang faceless?" Or disgrace the entire royal family? ”

With a snap, Empress Zhao directly threw the holy decree out.

Gonggong Li had just moved his steps, only to hear Queen Zhao say sharply: "Don't pick it up!" This palace has never seen an emperor with such a narrow heart! ”

Gong Shanggong didn't raise his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty must have misbelieved the slander, don't you know that Mrs. Jingbei Hou is still in Jinling?" ”

"Don't you say that the palace is not so angry, the emperor actually listened to the words of a woman who put all her thoughts on how to let Concubine Xiao Yue have a miscarriage? It's ......" Empress Zhao patted the armrest, her emaciated shoulders were straight, even if the weight pressed on her shoulders, it couldn't make her bend over.

"Xiao Yang opened up the territory and expanded the territory, he was the hero of the dynasty, expelled the barbarians for more than a thousand miles, relieved the suffering of the people of the Central Plains, Gu Yan's military exploits are enough to go down in history, and he is not much more than Wei Huo in the Han Dynasty."

"They are all meritorious ministers, since Your Majesty can't withstand the excerpt of the invitation to be sealed, and canonize them by holy decree, why can't you make it open?"

"Even if you find an opportunity to take their titles in the future, it is better than insulting the heroes and good generals when you canonize them! Let the hearts of those who aspire to serve the country be chilled. ”

Empress Zhao smiled angrily, "Your Majesty will listen to Yin Ru's Jian yì a few more times, I think he can only stay in the harem in the future and compete with the palace concubine for favor and frame." ”

"King Chung? Is this a warning to Xiao Yang to be loyal to him? ”

"Princess Zhong?"

Empress Zhao spat fiercely, "It's hard to hear." ”

It's too embarrassing for her Xiao Nuan to be called Princess Zhong.

"Reward Shi Zhan and directly make him the prince of the country, while Gu Yan only rewards gold and silver, and the title is not promoted, which is far less prominent than Shi Zhan under his command, what is your majesty going to do? Is it true that the Nanyang Gu family is a dead person? ”

"Even if he promised Gu Zheng Gu Lu benefits and kept them silent, could it be that he forgot about the Jiang family?"

Didn't this push Gu Yan to the Xiao family?

Empress Zhao tugged at her sleeves like a vent, "Since he values Shi Zhan, put him on the fire to roast?" He received the knighthood, what did the robe think of him in the past? To seize the merits of the peak, who else dares to cooperate with him on the expedition? This is not a generous reward to win over Shi Zhan, but to ruin the excellent generals of the dynasty!
