Empress Dowager Xiao was furious by Emperor Chu's cold stabbing heart, and looked at the person in front of her like the face of the previous emperor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long time, she forcibly suppressed her anger and said coldly: "The mourning family knows that you don't want to talk to the mourning family, and the mourning family is the same!" ”

"The mourning family called you over today, because the imperial doctor ordered that you are now empty, and your illness has not healed, although there is Wen Jixuan to accompany you every day to recuperate, but it is not advisable to work too hard, otherwise it is difficult to protect the recurrence of the old disease and I am afraid of my life, now that all the princes in the court have reached adulthood, for the sake of Your Majesty's body and the long-term plan of Nanchu, it is time for Your Majesty to appoint a prince, and it is good that someone can share the affairs of the court and politics for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can take care of your body."

Emperor Chu looked at Mrs. Xiao indifferently and said expressionlessly: "The prince's affairs are my own success, and I don't worry about my mother." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to have expected that Emperor Chu would reply like this, and when she heard this, she just looked at him and said: "The mourning family knows that you have your own ideas in your heart, but the mourning family has to remind you, don't forget the bloody rebellion when the princes fought for the prince, and don't forget how the first emperor died. ”

Emperor Chu looked at the solemn look on Empress Dowager Xiao's face with a smile, and his eyes paused for a moment on her eyes that were obviously cold but had to pretend to be concerned, and then raised his lips and said: "The queen mother is in the harem, and she knows the things of the previous dynasty better than me. ”

"It doesn't matter who the mourning family values, what matters is who Your Majesty likes in your heart, and the world of Nanchu is Your Majesty's after all."

"What the queen mother said is that this world is mine, and I will find a good master for it, if I can't find it, even if I destroy the world with my own hands, I will definitely not hand it over to someone I don't like, what does the queen mother think?"

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes suddenly became gloomy, it was obviously her son in front of her, but she didn't get in the oil and salt, how could she not hear the mockery in Emperor Chu's words, the world is his, he will give it to whoever he likes, if someone dares to disobey him, he would rather ruin the world than hand it over to someone he doesn't want to give, such as ...... She!

Emperor Chu stood up on the table and said lightly: "The medicinal food in the mother's harem is good, thank the mother for some thought." ”

After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave, but Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly said, "Wait." ”

Emperor Chu turned his head lightly, and heard Empress Dowager Xiao say to him: "The mourning family heard that His Majesty handed over the matter of welcoming the envoys of other countries to King Fu a few days ago, and King Fu is now seriously injured almost equal to the loss of half of his arm, and the matter of greeting the envoys is the top priority, King Fu is probably injured and will damage my face in Nanchu, Your Majesty has ever thought about replacing King Fu with another person?" ”

"I will consider this matter, does the queen mother have other things?"

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and said, "There really is something." ”

"What?"

"King Ling's marriage."

After Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, she saw that Emperor Chu's face was instantly gloomy, and she was aggrieved by Emperor Chu's confrontation and lack of oil and salt today, and her mood for a whole day suddenly became a lot more relaxed, and she directly ignored the impatience on Emperor Chu's face and continued:

"King Ling is now over twenty, His Majesty favors him, so make an exception when he has not done an inch, and he has not married to give him the position of the prince, which is no longer in line with the ancestral system, the mourning family remembered that he suffered in the Zhou State for four years, so he did not say anything to stop His Majesty, but now that he has been crowned a prince, he should also choose a good marriage for him as usual, otherwise there is no heroine in the prince's mansion, and it will be a joke to spread it."

Emperor Chu's expression was gloomy, he had already known that Empress Dowager Xiao had hit Rong Jing with her idea, but he had rejected him before, but he didn't want her to give up, he couldn't help frowning and said impatiently: "Jing'er is not in good health, and he has always resisted marriage, Wen Jixuan has already said that he can't be stimulated, and his marriage will be talked about when he is better." ”

"What kind of foolish words did Your Majesty say, King Ling is weak and absurd, he is the respect of the prince, don't you want to be single for the rest of your life? If there is a virtuous person who can take care of the backyard for him and take care of King Ling's daily life, maybe King Ling can also take care of his heart, and his body can also be calm and recuperate. ”

Emperor Chu frowned impatiently.

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't look at Emperor Chu at all and continued directly: "Xiao Mei, the daughter of the Xiao family, is charming and lovely, she is an excellent and lovely person, the mourning family has seen her a few times before, and I think she can be the concubine of King Ling, and Yang Yuzhen, the daughter of Yang Shangshu, has a gentle temperament, a blue heart, and is infatuated with King Ling, she can marry into King Ling's mansion as a side concubine with Xiao Mei, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

Chu Huang's fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a "tuk-tuk" sound, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.

At the beginning, Yang Yuzhen was indeed his favorite marriage match for Jing'er, that woman had the Yang family behind her, and her brother was a general in the army, if she could marry Rong Jing, she would be able to give Rong Jing more self-preservation, but Xiao Mei of the Xiao family would never let her be with Rong Jing.

Not to mention that the Xiao family is like a wolf and a tiger, if Rong Jing marries the Xiao family, sooner or later they will swallow not even a bone left, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Xiao has always known whose son Rong Jing is, and she can't wait to get rid of it quickly, how could she be so kind to let the daughter of the Xiao family marry Rong Jing to help him?

Emperor Chu couldn't help but say when he thought of this: "Jing'er's marriage doesn't need to worry about the queen mother, I already have a candidate in my heart." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao squinted slightly when she heard this, and her phoenix eyes were full of fine light.

In order to allow Xiao Mei to marry King Ling, she had already taken a step back and agreed to let Yang Yuzhen, who was optimistic about him, enter the palace together, but she didn't expect that Emperor Chu still refused, and said that there was already a candidate, and Emperor Chu was very clear about Rong Jing's favor, and even knew that after the woman died, Emperor Chu completely put all his love and debt for that woman on his son who had the same appearance as that woman, although she was confident that Emperor Chu would never pass on the throne to Rong Jing, but he would definitely leave the best to his favorite son, Therefore, if Emperor Chu can take a fancy to the woman who matches Rong Jing, there are only a few in Beijing.

Empress Dowager Xiao thought carefully about the daughters of courtiers and the nobles of the Jingzhong family, and there were only so many people who were outstanding when they thought about it, but those people didn't want to marry their daughters to Rong Jing, who had a tyrannical temperament and had no hope of the throne, and in addition, there were only three or four suitable ones left.

She suddenly remembered the rumors she heard not long ago, and frowned as if she had thought of something: "The daughters of my Xiao family are all good, but Your Majesty doesn't look down on them, so who is the person Your Majesty fancies, could it be the daughter of the Xie family?" That Xie Jiaxuan doesn't know whether she is alive or dead now, although Xie Yiliu is the sister of Ning Guifei, but she is a real concubine, not to mention that on the official ship, she used her sister's life to block the sword, and her vicious reputation was ruined, how could she be a good match for King Ling?! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chu snorted coldly: "That woman is cunning and ruthless, how can she be worthy of Jing'er as a concubine?" ”

"Then who is Your Majesty's eye?"

Emperor Chu frowned and looked at the somewhat aggressive Empress Dowager Xiao, who didn't intend to say what he thought in his heart, but remembering the methods of Xue Rou that the people sent out in those days, and then thinking of the news about Xue Rou that he got in the past few days, looking at the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was obviously nearly sixty years old but still holding on to power and wanting to bring everyone under his control, he remembered what Rong Jing said to him coldly in the imperial study that day, and suddenly changed his mind.

He knows his own body, and now when he is still alive, he will shelter him and Wencheng's son, but if a hundred years later, Rong Jing has a violent and willful temperament, even if he makes all the arrangements, he can't match the ruthlessness of the Queen Mother, if he goes, the first person that the Empress Dowager Xiao wants to get rid of is bound to be Rong Jing, and there will be the Xiao family by his side, and Rong Jing will be unable to support it alone, so he must find him a few of the best virtuous helpers and the Yue family.

Although Xue Rou has a bad background, but he has been instructed by Mr. Hongru, and he is decisive and intelligent, he is indeed a good candidate, and Rong Jing is different from others to her, if she can resist the means of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he doesn't mind giving him to Rong Jing, and then give two more women who were optimistic earlier to Rong Jing as a side concubine to assist, presumably even if he leaves, the Empress Dowager Xiao will easily help Rong Jing?

An inexplicable look flashed in Emperor Chu's eyes, and when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed: "That's the woman Jing'er admires, and when it comes to the Wanshou Festival, the queen mother will naturally know who she is." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Okay, Queen Mother, I still have government affairs in the previous dynasty, so I won't stay much, Peng De, go back to Shunning Palace!"

Emperor Chu strode away, Peng De on the side hurriedly saluted the Empress Dowager Xiao, and then ordered someone to collect the dishes and chopsticks used by the Emperor Chu before he trotted out, and after a while, Peng De's shrill voice shouted "Drive Shunning Palace", and after everyone left, Supervisor Mu stepped forward to look at the almost untouched medicinal diet, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao with a gloomy face, and said tentatively: "The Empress Dowager, this medicinal diet ...... it"

"Take it out and feed the pheasants!" Empress Dowager Xiao said coldly.

Mu Jian trembled, the slaughter pheasant seems to be a human name, but it is actually a giant dog raised in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiao, immediately taller than a human, the ferocious spirit can kill the tiger, the Empress Dowager Xiao took the leftover medicinal food of the Chu Emperor to feed the dog, if it is passed out, it will not make people say that His Majesty eats with the dog, he looked up and wanted to persuade, but when he saw the cold color on the face of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and hurriedly called someone to come in and withdraw all the meals, so he was carefully responsible for the Empress Dowager Xiao walked to the front of the golden collapse.

Empress Dowager Xiao reclined on the couch, her legs curled up under her, revealing her white and tender little feet that were not at all like an old woman under the palace skirt, her toes were round like jade beads, she was not wearing stockings, and her slender fingers were on the phoenix fence on the side, and she said with an indifferent expression: "The son of the mourning family is getting more and more powerful, look at him like that, for fear that the mourning family will poison him and take his life, and I can't wait to get rid of the mourning family as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Supervisor Mu hurriedly said: "Don't think too much about the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has affection for Niangniang, not to mention that Niangniang is Your Majesty's biological mother, all the good Majesty in the palace has been close to Niangniang first over the years, and who in the palace dares to be disrespectful to Niangniang?" Your Majesty has a mother in his heart. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao snorted coldly when she heard this, why didn't Emperor Chu move her, she knew very well, her status in the palace had never relied on Emperor Chu, and even if Emperor Chu was impatient, he would not tear his face with her, it was definitely not because he had her mother in his heart, he didn't dare, nor did he unwilling, but he couldn't!

Thinking of Emperor Chu, who has become more and more uncontrollable in recent years, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but rub her eyebrows: "There is news from Shunning Palace, who does Your Majesty fancy to make King Ling a concubine?" ”

Mu Jian shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I didn't have any faith in this matter before, and I haven't seen any minister summoned by His Majesty to test his daughter's marriage in the past few days, and the slave heard that a few days ago, because King Ling Hu recruited a female chief to enter the palace, His Majesty summoned him into the palace, but I don't know what King Ling and His Majesty said in the imperial study, and as a result, he fell ill and was carried back to King Ling's mansion. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned when she heard this: "The female manager? Where did it come from? ”

"I heard that it was from Zhou Guoyunzhou, named Xue Rou, who looked a little good, but unfortunately it was the daughter of a commoner, and the reason why King Ling let her enter the mansion seemed to be to be angry with King Xuan, I heard that the woman had helped King Xuan sweep King Ling's face on the street."

After the Queen Mother heard that Xue Rou was the daughter of a commoner, she immediately lost interest, and she said lightly to Mu Jian: "Go and send someone to investigate, whose daughter does Your Majesty have a crush on." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Mu Jian stretched out his hand to pinch the shoulders for Empress Dowager Xiao, seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao had her eyes slightly closed and her eyes were indifferent, she opened her mouth several times without speaking, although Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyes, she seemed to see his appearance, and said indifferently: "Say whatever you want, what do you do?" ”

Eunuch Mu hurriedly spoke: "Queen Mother, why didn't you mention the matter of King Xuan to Your Majesty?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao opened her eyes suddenly, her evil eyebrows went into her sideburns, and she looked at Mu Jian lightly and said, "What are you mentioning?" ”

"King Xuan is now being imprisoned and charged with crimes, and the court is full of words about asking for dethronement, what King Xuan has done over the years has been exposed a lot, isn't this a good opportunity for His Royal Highness King Qing? Over the years, King Fu, King Xuan and His Royal Highness King Qing have been fighting each other, why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of King Xuan in one fell swoop? ”

"Removed in one fell swoop?" Empress Dowager Xiao's fingers smeared with red dankou caressed her wrist, but her mouth said mercilessly: "Idiot! ”

"The Queen Mother?"

"Do you think Your Majesty is a fool, King Xuan's crimes are known to be wronged, if there are no people who continue to play, Your Majesty may take the opportunity to reduce King Xuan's momentum, and even take this opportunity to warn King Xuan, let him make a big mistake, and even be charged with killing his brother and murdering the courtiers, and then order someone to operate secretly, he will not think about the throne again in his life, but what will His Majesty think about after the successive performances, he will only think that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been collected by King Qing and King Fu, That's why he can't wait to get rid of King Xuan, how can he tolerate this kind of thing? ”

"But most of the things that were played were true......"

"Really?"

Empress Dowager Xiao snorted coldly and said, "What about the real thing, do they have tangible evidence?" There is no human and material evidence, but they just want to put King Xuan to death with a few empty words of vernacular, they are too naïve! ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Xiao paused, revealing disgust in her tone: "The mourning family thought that King Qing was a smart person, but they didn't expect him to be so impatient, and wanted to take this opportunity to bring down King Xuan in one fell swoop, but I didn't know that it was because he was so impatient, but let King Xuan turn the corner, and you see, in a few days, King Xuan will definitely be released from prison!" ”

Hearing this, Supervisor Mu's face suddenly turned bad, he frowned and wanted to say something, when he heard Empress Dowager Xiao say to him:

"You go and tell my brother, let him not interfere in the affairs of King Xuan, don't listen to the words of others and fall into the hole for King Xuan, and let people send news to King Qing, let him break his current thoughts, think about how to take the affairs of the Longevity Festival in his hands, the more prestigious he is, the more beneficial it will be for him to succeed to the throne in the future, don't think about the small family that is not a good thing all day long."
