As soon as the Queen Mother died, the news spread to the palace of Prince Jin. Ye Fengqi is in charge of a huge intelligence system comparable to that of the factory guard, and the news in the palace is also extremely well-informed. When the news came, the brothers Ye Yichen and Ye Fengqi were talking in the study. After listening to the old housekeeper's report, although they had been prepared, the brothers fell silent together.

After a long time, Ye Fengqi slowly exhaled: "Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also went like this!" She's not even fifty yet! With the Queen Mother gone, I don't know how the situation in the DPRK and China will change? ”

Ye Yichen's thin lips curled upward, and a sneer overflowed from the corners of his lips: "The Xiao family has long been ready to move!" When the Queen Mother goes, I'm afraid they will jump out immediately! ”

Ye Fengqi snorted and said: "The prince is mediocre and incompetent, although King Zhao is a little better than the prince, he may not be much stronger than the prince." Sixteenth brother, the Queen Mother is kind to you and me, and we have repaid the Queen Mother's kindness so far. Now that the emperor is addicted to wine, we should also fight! This Great Chu Jiangshan was originally fought down by Taizu, when Taizong killed his brother and slaughtered his brother, and they also sat on the throne for thirty or forty years, but they couldn't even take down a corner of Shu Han! It's time for them to return to their rightful owners! I heard that the emperor intends to take Princess Yinyue to make peace with Shu Han, which is simply a loss of the prestige of the Great Chu State......"

Ye Yichen's dark eyes flashed with starlight: "Whether it succeeds or not, we have to see how the will of heaven is!" ”

Ye Yichen clapped his hands, and several eunuchs bowed in, holding two sets of mourning clothes with green clothes in their hands, and even one set of Ye Fengqi was prepared for him. Ye Yichen said: "Seventeenth brother, change your clothes, let's go to the palace to worship the Queen Mother!" ”

The eldest lady received the news an hour later than Ye Yichen, Cining Palace was already in chaos at the moment, the emperor heard that the queen mother had died, and was greatly saddened, the queen mother had never given birth in her life, and she supported him to be such a mediocre and blood-related prince to ascend to the throne, and the emperor has always kept this kindness in mind. Therefore, the emperor has always been obedient to the Queen Mother and extremely filial. Even if he didn't like the prince very much, he made Ye Minshu the prince according to the queen mother's request.

Although the emperor is not a good emperor, he is a good son.

When the funeral eunuch reported to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor had just gotten up, and he couldn't take a bite of breakfast and drove Cining Palace. The female eunuchs in charge of the palace in Cining Palace were all punished with a rod for poor service, and Sun Yizheng and Wang Taiyi were also locked up by the Internal Affairs Office because of poor treatment.

Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager Lu Dao will not do their business, but the emperor is upright, who dares to say more?

Cining Palace lost the stewardship and eunuchs, and it was very chaotic for a while, and it was a little late to send the little eunuch to the house of the princess to report the funeral. When the eunuch came, Yulan was still talking to her in the wife's room. Yufei and Yuxin got married successively, and now there are only two daughters left in the big house, Yuxia and Yulan, and there is no biological daughter, and the eldest lady suddenly feels that Yining is cold and lonely, and she is extremely uncomfortable. I want to leave my daughters to talk, Yuxia she will definitely not stay, Yulan has tried her best to reduce her sense of existence in front of the eldest lady over the years, and the eldest lady's impression of her has gradually increased. In addition, Yuxin played a big role in the incident, so the eldest lady kept her.

Before the bowl of West Lake Longjing was drunk, a little maid on the second door ran in: "Madam, the big thing is not good, the Queen Mother is gone!" ”

The eldest lady couldn't hold the tea bowl in her hand anymore, and fell to the ground with a snap, splashing a few drops of tea on her big red jacket. "Auntie, why did you just go like this?" The eldest lady wailed and cried. Yulan was taken aback, got up and was about to persuade her to say a few words, but the eldest lady cried before she could say twice.

After experiencing too many joys and sorrows, the eldest lady lacked a strong heart, and she couldn't stand the stimulation and turned her back on it. Yulan was taken aback, and while asking the little maid to carry the eldest lady to the bed, she also found Wu's mother and asked her to rush to the doctor.

Mother Wu hurriedly ordered someone to go. She was sent by the Queen Mother to the eldest lady, and when she heard the news of the Queen Mother's death, she couldn't help but be very sad. Yulan went to the courtyard with her, and when she saw that Wu's mother was also a little confused, she reminded: "Did my mother ask someone to go back to the funeral eunuch first, and the other courtyards should also call someone to send news to them." The death of the Queen Mother is a state funeral, and the clothes of the people in the house should also be changed, as well as yesterday's festive decoration, red lanterns, all of which should be replaced immediately. ”

Mother Wu wiped her tears: "Thank you girl for mentioning it!" She should have done these things immediately, and hurriedly told her mother and maids to get busy. I can't help but think that the seventh girl is usually silent, but at the critical time, she is the truth, without a trace of mistakes, she is really a fine person!

When the doctor came, the eldest lady had already woken up, and the doctor took the pulse and prescribed another prescription, and the eldest lady was just so angry that she fainted, and there was no major problem after resting for a few days.

Yulan said goodbye to the eldest lady and returned to Lujingzhai, she had never seen the queen mother, so naturally there would be no grief, but there was an indescribable ease in her heart. Suddenly, she reacted: With the death of the Queen Mother, all entertainment activities in Beijing will be canceled, and no one will want to marry a daughter-in-law and a man within a year!

The Xie family doesn't have to talk about kissing in the short term, and they don't have to make up their minds, won't her marriage with Xie Zhiyuan be postponed for a year! Just what she wants!

Yulan realized that she didn't want to get married so much.

It seems to be a little inauthentic to put yourself in the pain of others, not to mention that you still look happy when the queen mother is dead, isn t that disrespectful, Yulan hurriedly put on a solemn expression.

Soon, the Ministry of Rites set the emperor and queen to serve the mourning for 27 days on behalf of the day and the month, the princess, the prince, and the county lord to serve for nine months, the prince to serve for five months, the prince's clothes for three months, and the common people to serve the funeral ceremony for three days.

Yang Mansion had just finished a happy event, and then there was such a big funeral, and he felt a little unable to turn around for a while. The old lady and her three daughters-in-law all had a decree to enter the palace to worship according to the system, and they also cried for three days. The eldest lady was not in good health, and the old lady wanted to visit the queen in person and talk to the queen, so as to avoid her worshipping and crying. The eldest lady refused, and entered the Forbidden City with illness. First, he worshiped for three days, and on the fourth day, he cried for three days outside the Cining Palace, a foreign woman with more than four grades in Beijing.

It was only March, and the spring of the year came very late, and the wind was still very cold. The old lady and the eldest lady knelt outside the Cining Palace for three days, and when they came back, they were all sick. The old lady was not in good health, and after such a toss, there was no good illness, and the disease began to attack again.

The fifth wife is only less than three months pregnant, and she is also worried after kneeling outside for so many days.

The second wife took over the authority of the eldest lady's housekeeper, and quickly invited a good doctor to diagnose and treat the old lady and the eldest lady, and for a while, the Yang Mansion was full of medicinal smells inside and out. Yulan was also busy, running between Songhetang and Yiningju every day, waiting for the old lady to wait for the eldest lady.

Yulan has always wanted to find a chance to go to Yuqing Palace to see Yuxin, but she doesn't have time. The funeral of the Queen Mother has just begun, and several major events have occurred in the DPRK and China. Waiting and waiting, the Tuwu people did not take the lead in launching the invasion, but Shaanxi was the first to be in chaos. In recent years, Shaanxi has been plagued by disasters and famines, this year is especially severe, it is really a thousand miles of red land, there are starvation on the road, countless dead, the imperial court sent a number of messengers to go to the disaster relief, as a result, most of the disaster relief grain and rice are corrupt officials at all levels of corruption, and the food is less than one in ten. First, hundreds of peasants in Baizhu County in northern Shaanxi killed Zhixian County, which opened the prelude to the uprising. After the governor of northern Shaanxi received the report, because he was afraid that the court would blame him, he turned a deaf ear and did not nip the rebel army in the bud.

He took people to suppress the bandits, but he knew that the more and more Lu Dao was suppressed, the rebel army grew to nearly 10,000 people, and the governor saw that he could no longer hide it, so he had to send people to report to the court urgently for 800 miles. For a while, everyone was shocked. The orthodox emperor hurriedly convened a meeting of the cabinet ministers and the military department and the governors of the five armies, and then agreed to send important ministers and governors of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui and Ningxia to take full charge of the suppression of bandits.

The charter was agreed, but the candidate could not be selected for a while. The governors of the three sides have a lot of powers, and they hold military power, whether it is the prince or the king of Zhao, they all want to arrange their own manpower in this position. The emperor was not at ease with his son and ministers, and he decided not to do so for a while.

The military situation is urgent, and there is no time to delay, Yang Peishi handed a sign overnight to ask to see the orthodox emperor, asked the emperor to urgently summon Ye Yichen, and asked the prince of Jin to recommend candidates to lead the troops. Yang Peishi also made suggestions to the emperor with a responsible attitude, you must know that although he is good at internal affairs, after all, he is a layman for marching and fighting, and the prince of Jin has been in the northwest for several years, and he has a deep understanding of the local environment and the ability of generals, so he naturally has a lot of right to speak.

Although the old lady has a little personal grudge with Ye Yichen, the critical moment is clear between public and private. Even the crown prince asked him to recommend candidates to the emperor, but Yang Peishi politely refused. Now that he has been labeled a princeling, he is becoming more and more constrained.

The emperor really didn't want Ye Yichen to be implicated again and increase his prestige, but he really couldn't do it.

That night, the emperor came to Jingyang Palace.

The emperor hasn't been to Jingyang Palace for a while. Concubine Hui was dressed in plain clothes, without any beads on her head, and she couldn't say that she was elegant and dusty. The little prince Ye Minzhao is also a vegetarian, and his two eyes are swollen like peaches. The emperor didn't attach too much importance to this little son, and when he saw Ye Minzhao's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, called him to his side, and asked him about his homework very kindly.

Ye Minzhao's answer was fluent. The emperor was overjoyed for a while.

Ye Minzhao saw that the emperor's eyebrows had not been stretched, and he couldn't help asking; "Father, do you have anything to worry about?"

The emperor touched his head and said, "You are still young, you don't understand things in the court!" ”

Ye Minzhao nodded as if he didn't understand: "Erchen doesn't understand." However, the mother concubine has always taught her sons, telling them not only to be pure and filial like their fathers when they grow up, but also to be pure ministers who can share their father's worries. When I grew up, my sons only listened to my father, and I did whatever my father told me to do! ”

The emperor touched his head and stopped, chewing the word "pure minister" over and over again in his heart. After a long time in my heart, the knot in my heart suddenly opened up.

The emperor had a trilateral governor candidate in his heart, and after eating in Jingyang Palace, he hurriedly went to the imperial study. The mother and son sent the emperor away, and returned to the main hall to wave away the palace maids and eunuchs below, Ye Minzhao was too young to hide things after all; "The mother concubine is right, the more I show sadness for the death of the queen mother, the more my father pities me!" The little prince Ye Minzhao has always disliked the Queen Mother, and every time the Queen Mother rewards something, he gets it badly, not that Ye Minzhao is not smart or cute, but because his mother's background is too low. The Queen Mother is a regular person, and the most important thing is her background, which can also be seen from her support for Ye Minshu to become the prince.

Ye Minzhao was not very close to this imperial grandmother, and he did not feel much grief when the old lady died, but Concubine Hui could see that the emperor's feelings for this grandmother were extraordinary, so she warned Emperor Ye Minzhao to show great grief in front of him. Ye Minzhao is already smart, and he has been healthy and healthy in the palace for so many years, and he is also a hundred spirits. Of course, I still know the importance of competing for favor and pleasing my father. Today, the effect is really good.

Ye Minzhao said again; "I understand that my father is filial to the Queen Mother, but why does my mother want me to say what I just said? What a pure minister and pure filial piety, it makes my head dizzy! ”

Concubine Hui sighed: "Emperor, you are not young anymore, the mother concubine can't accompany you for a lifetime, there are some roads that you need to walk by yourself!" There are some things that you have to understand yourself! ”

…… Only by choosing a pure minister on both sides, the power of the prince and King Zhao will not swell too much, and you will have a chance to win the dragon chair!

The emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace and immediately announced that Jiang Yue, the imperial history of the left capital, entered the palace, and after a match, the emperor immediately announced the decree and appointed him as the governor of the three sides, and immediately set off for Shaanxi.

After the trilateral governor was elected, the crown prince and the king of Zhao were all disappointed.

In the palace of the king of Jin, the two brothers talked about wine. Ye Feng Qi said: "Who is this Jiang Yue?" Why did the emperor send him to suppress bandits? ”

Ye Yichen said lightly: "There are many people in the court who are more suitable for this position than Jiang Yue, but the emperor is not at ease." This Jiang Yue has done two things, and when I say it, you will understand why the emperor sent him. One of them is that a year ago, he joined the Cheng'en Gong and impeached him for indulging domestic slaves, forcibly occupying people's land, and forcing people to die! For this matter, the emperor fined Cheng Enbo half a year and reduced his title to Cheng Enbo. The second thing, Jiang Yue said for his son the year before last that the daughter of the Huixian Bosang family was his wife, and the two families discussed it for half a year, and they saw that it was going to be done, but they were intercepted by the Jinghai Hou Mansion halfway, for this matter, Jiang Yue met the Xiao family and didn't even say hello. This person has a very hard temper, and no one sells face! ”

Ye Fengqi played with the golden cup in his hand, and after a little thought, it was already clear. "Cheng Enbo is the queen's elder brother, Jiang Yue is guilty of Cheng Enbo, he offended His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was unhappy with the Xiao family, so he had nothing to do with King Zhao. I understand, our emperor is not at ease with his two sons. So even my son began to take precautions! ”

Ye Yichen nodded, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. "I only know that Lu Dao is playing this little trick, but he forgets the public welfare, our emperor is really hopeless!"

Ye Fengqi was stunned for a moment; "Ganshan is full of serious diseases, there are no more than 10,000 traitors, and there is a lack of weapon training, how can you compete with my heavy army of Dachu, just go to a general and wipe them out."

Ye Yichen smiled coldly and said, "If you think so too, then you are wrong!" This time, the Shaanxi traitor is not a mustard disease, but a henchman. Shaanxi has had a poor harvest for three consecutive years, and the common people have no food to eat, and no food or clothing can be covered. Only by sending a resolute and resolute person to cut through the chaos with a knife, the rebels will be swept away, and the disaster relief will be followed up in time, this rebellion can be eliminated in a few days, but it is a pity that Jiang Yue tends to be conservative in his use of troops, and he is good at defending and not attacking, he goes to command the trilateral army, I am afraid that he will miss the opportunity, and this bandit is likely to be more and more! ”

Ye Yichen said: "It's worrying that the sudden people have been holding their troops for a long time, I'm afraid that a big conspiracy is brewing!" ”

The author has something to say: I know that you may not like to watch the things of the previous dynasty, but as a foreshadowing, you must also write about it, in fact, just writing about the harem is quite boring, isn't it?
