The old man felt short, the queen mother had already opened her eyes in the morning, and she was sleeping soundly in the bed, making a thin snoring sound, she gently touched her grandson's forehead, picked up a trace of velvet thread on her head at some point, got out of bed in her clothes, and after some washing, she came to the front of the Buddhist shrine and put on three incense sticks first.

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is also keen on Buddhism, but she is not too religious, she just worships the Buddha and incense, and many times is just a very haode social means. From the young in order to cater to Taizong, worship the Buddha began, the queen mother's residence has a room dedicated to the Buddha, but she did not come to worship every day, at this time when the incense, the heart is not thinking of the ethereal Buddha, but his eldest son Daxing Emperor who has not died for a long time.

How can things be smooth sailing in the world? The true ideal family relationship exists only in the classics. In fact, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so it is said that Taizong and Renzong are two fathers and sons, how much anger has Renzong suffered from his father? But when Taizong died, I was afraid that in addition to liberation, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. The Queen Mother herself and her eldest son are not without problems, but now that everyone has gone, and they are going so suddenly, the only thing left in my heart is his.

Since I was a child, I knew that I felt sorry for my mother, shared my worries for her, and when I was a grandson, I dedicated all good things to my mother first, and everything in the palace was done according to her will. Later, when he became the emperor, although there were differences of opinion between mother and son, the worship of Qingning Palace was never less. He also takes good care of his younger siblings, and the different mothers of the same mother are very obedient to him as the eldest brother, and the country is calm and prosperous under his rule...... The Queen Mother is dissatisfied with her son, but this dissatisfaction, concentrated in personal feelings, is just a slight flaw in the jade, in the final analysis, she is proud of her eldest son after all - no one understands better than her how difficult it is to be a good emperor.

Don't talk about the far, let's just say the near, when the Jianshu people ascended the throne as the emperor, they were also in their twenties, and the Taizu left behind at that time was not a good foundation? When the Queen Mother served Taizong and Empress Renxiao, she had heard her sigh many times, if it weren't for the perverse actions of the Jianshu people themselves, Taizong would have great luck and would not have been able to ascend to the throne. Rao is like this, the process of his ascension to the throne is still full of dangers, and it is impossible to say that it is the clock of destiny and the help of luck that he finally came to this point.

In fact, even so, the people in the market are not without sympathetic remarks about the Jianshu people, and it seems that it is not glorious to win the position of the emperor with the position of the uncle and nephew. But the Queen Mother was a person in the game that day, and she always scoffed at such a piece of soup. Even King Zhou, the same brother of Taizong, was first relocated to the land of Yunnan miasma, and then returned to Beijing to be imprisoned, if it is not 'Qingjun side', I am afraid that in a few years, the whole family will be taken to Nanjing City and imprisoned. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Jianshu people were so aggressive, how could Taizong make up his mind to fight?

The lessons of the past and the teachers of the future, now in the market, are almost secretive about the events of the past. But the Queen Mother has not forgotten the past when she was a teenager, not that she believes that Zhu'er will repeat her old tricks and embarrass the vassal king who no longer has much military power. But then again, how long can he take care of the court at an advanced age? Even if it is calculated in fifteen years, by that time, Zhu'er will be about the same age as the Jianshu people.

Yes, when Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, he was only about 30 people, but what kind of life did he live since he was a child? Born in the war, accompanied his grandfather to fight in the north and south, has rich experience, has seen all kinds of situations in the world, as early as when he was the grandson and the prince, he has gone out on business many times. His ability has long been unanimously recognized by his grandfather, father, mother and even the ministers, even if he ascends the throne as a young man, there is no doubt about the lord and the country. Can you compare with him? When he was young, he was a gentleman who did not stand under the wall, his status was noble, and it was almost impossible to leave the palace, a young man who had been locked up in the deep palace for more than 20 years, even if he had undergone the most perfect education, he was afraid that he would not be able to rest assured that he would not be able to hand over the country to him, right?

Besides, although the dynasty emphasized literature over military force, the capital was near the Tatars, and the king did not understand military affairs, which was unacceptable to the queen mother in any case. Since the founding of the country, there have been a total of five emperors including Jianshu, and four of them have experienced the life of Jin Ge Iron Horse and Licking Blood with a knife, and even she has been busy in the wind and snow for the safety of Beiping City. The only one is the Jianshu people, who are longer than the hands of the women in the deep palace, and after only a few years on the throne, the mountains and rivers have been scattered, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead. The words of letting the five boys succeed to the throne were fantastical at first sound, but the Queen Mother had a clear conscience, and she knew that there would inevitably be some discussions outside. The first one is the queen, who is naturally busy everywhere now, and maybe she is busy connecting with the ministers...... But none of this can shake her determination: letting Goro ascend the throne is the most ideal choice in this situation.

It's all the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, and Gorou ascended the throne, and it can't be said that the throne is next to it, of course, after he ascends the throne, the inheritance of the throne will definitely fall into the line of King Xiang. But the queen mother thought that this was acceptable, King Xiang was the eldest son, and he was clearly born to Princess Xiang, although he also lived in the palace of the vassal prince since he was a child, and he was not considered to have been exposed to the suffering of the people, but Gorou was in good health, and he never took those miscellaneous elixirs, not to mention anything else, at least he could be on par with his grandfather and father, and live to be fifty years old, right? At that time, the crown prince will be almost thirty years old, and from the age of ten to go out of the cabinet to study, it can be regarded as after twenty years of princely education, during which he has to experience everywhere, which is much more reliable than handing over the throne to Zhu'er in a hurry now.

Of course, if Da Lang could live to be fifty years old, the whole thing would be different, and if he could live to be sixty or seventy years old, the throne would definitely not be tied up, and she would not be able to say anything more. Who let Emperor Daxing go early? This is not very fair to the bolt, but in life, the unsatisfactory ten constants**, if born as the eldest son, the throne should be inherited by him, and everyone in the world will naturally accept his rule...... Where should the Jianshu people go to cry? What is written in the book is quite beautiful, but how can governing the country be so simple?

These are also Da Lang's two drops of bone blood, she is absent-mindedly thinking, she must try her best to preserve. Fortunately, Gorou has a gentle and generous temperament, and she is sure that she will never do it to her nephew for some illusory worries. Raise the child in the big house, and take it with you when it is a big deal, and when you grow up, if you are really dull and cannot be edified, then it will be safer, if you are a smart and thoughtful person-

Thinking of her eldest grandson, the Queen Mother shook her head silently and smiled helplessly. The two children, Zhu'er and Zhuang'er, are simply heaven and earth compared to the eldest Lang of the year. If he was really smart and smart, he would rather gamble, but in the past few days, he personally brought it down, but it only strengthened the Queen Mother's idea of changing the King of Xiang: When King Xiang succeeds to the throne, who will seriously teach him to read and reason? In terms of the qualifications of the bolt, it is not a bad ending for the rich and noble life.

At the end of the day, it's fate. After many things, the Queen Mother has already said that her heart is like a stone, but at this time, she can't help but sigh: Hu's, Sun's, Xu's, no matter who likes her or doesn't like her, even if one of them can give birth to a son - even if it's Sun, it's better than Luo's, right? And Zhuang'er, that Wu family, something! He doesn't look like Da Lang at all, but it is conceivable that he must be like his mother, if it weren't for Xu's teaching, he would still be a bit of a look, otherwise, who knows if he will be a bad child who deceives his teacher and destroys his ancestors in the future!

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother was slightly stunned, she stopped the murmuring chanting, raised her hand, and motioned to the palace maids on both sides to help her up. "Where's Little Joe?"

Although she is self-proclaimed in the Qingning Palace, the Queen Mother is not self-confined, self-exiled, and closed-door, but just a strategy of hers, so that everyone can take a step forward and think calmly about the situation, anyway, the funeral of Emperor Daxing is not over, and the weather is still very cold, everyone still has time to think carefully about the benefits of letting King Xiang ascend the throne. She can find some eyes and ears to listen to the movements of the hundreds of officials outside, and all kinds of things in the inner palace will be handed over to Aunt Qiao to supervise. Therefore, although it is said that the palace has been closed for a while, she has been in and out of the palace more frequently than before, and she has to run to the six monks more often, supervising the daily operation of the entire palace.

Today is also a coincidence, Aunt Qiao has just returned to the palace, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she wanted to speak and stopped, and she seemed to not know where to start. The Queen Mother didn't care, but brought up someone. "The imperial concubine still lives there - what kind of palace is it? Or did they just leave together that day? ”

The emperor died suddenly that day, how many things happened for a while! How can the queen mother have the leisure to think about an imperial concubine, in addition to grief, she also has to Zhang Luo's funeral, set the edict, and returned to the palace to think of the throat that Zhao shouted out of the earth-shattering voice, and felt more and more that her son's harem was afraid that there were not a few good things, he died in the prime of life, and these foxy women did not know the shame of virtue and shame, and refused to advise him to take less pills, I am afraid that it also has a certain relationship. As soon as the anger came up, he was afraid that his son would be in a hurry and he would be lonely and afraid on the road, so he hurriedly martyred those troublemakers and the remaining decent servants - judging from his son's performance, he was afraid that those people who were sent down would not be regarded as his favor, so he simply sent the newly selected show girl down.

There are fewer people in the palace, and now except for a few princesses and princes, there is only one household in the queen, of course, it is very quiet and has few things. The queen mother completely left the imperial concubine behind, and after she dealt with the aftermath of Da Lang, she moved her mind and began to think about the heir. The inheritance of the throne is a matter of great importance, and in the past few days, the two sides have been fighting and debating openly and secretly, that is, the palace has been sealed in the past two days, and she has gradually eased up, and she has more time to care about miscellaneous matters. No, when I thought of Zhuang'er, I suddenly remembered the imperial concubine - when I said it casually, I was absent-minded at all, and I was thinking about the emperor's heir, she was not sure whether she could take it herself, did she add another sentence, and let the Xu family die together.

"This ......," Aunt Qiao couldn't answer at first. You didn't order her to be buried that day......"

The Queen Mother didn't care either, knowing that she was afraid that she had forgotten about this person at all, she pondered for a moment, and then waved her hand, "For the sake of whether she is a little biological mother and can teach Zhuang'er well...... After all, it's zaijian's side. Now without Dalang's support, I want to see if she can be as arrogant as before. ”

This white-eyed wolf, since the turmoil after the abolition ten years ago, openly and secretly, has not received the benefits of Qingning Palace, without the support of Qingning Palace, her limelight can overshadow the queen again and again? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to raise a strong child, but let's see how she returns to Qingning Palace? After a few years of Ruo Ruo leaving, when he took over the palace affairs, he even slapped the queen mother in the face, and beat him several times in a row. Her reputation is up, but what about the face of Qingning Palace? It's nothing more than relying on the emperor's favor, so her mind is active - even if her means are a few points higher than Sun's, over the years, she has pressed Sun's breathlessness everywhere, not to mention, seeing the stitches, in the end she still got an imperial concubine out, which is one step away from the back position. If it weren't for the weaker foundation than the Sun family, I'm afraid it's not easy to say who this descendant is......

Compared with the Sun family, the Xu family can be regarded as having the heart and means, and when the emperor is there, the queen mother really can't completely surrender to her. Even now, once this special period has passed, as the adoptive mother of the vassal king, she can be regarded as her own reliance in the palace, and it is not something she can kill with a crime at will - naturally, the queen mother does not have to act like this, and it has always been simple to ask her to die, not simply how to subdue this imperial concubine who has a lot of burden and a deep city, so that she can be used by Qingning Palace willingly.

If she still sees things clearly, she can also know at this time that with her relationship with her, it is natural for Qingning Palace to want her to be martyred, and if she doesn't want to be martyred, that is the side of the net......

The Queen Mother is still very confident in the Xu family, she knows that she has always been very clear about things, but she has not yet thought about whether to spare her life. If King Xiang ascends the throne, the Sun family will not say it, after all, she is the imperial sister-in-law, how can she be respected, this point, even if she is reluctant, she can only compromise. However, as the adoptive mother of a strong child, she is very scheming, and she is still a little beautiful...... There is no need for such a person to continue to exist in the palace, it is not big or small, it is always a hidden danger.

She wasn't ready to expose her plans at the beginning, let alone think that Xu would guess her plans, and when Aunt Qiao mentioned it, she vaguely remembered how sensitive the situation was at that time? In order to be stable, he seemed to have ordered the rough envoy of Qingning Palace to guard her. Without the signal of Qingning Palace, which person can get close to her house? I'm afraid that now she still thinks that Zhu'er has ascended the throne, and she was brought here to decide whether she wants to die for Dalang.

- Let her guess, let her plead, in the long and difficult wait, she can admire the appearance of the imperial concubine who has always been full of heart begging for submission, and she can relax her mood somewhat.

Thinking of the changes that the Xu family, who had always looked serene, would be, and how she should subdue this little hoof step by step, forcing her to make a promise to be the king from now on-even if she was in the midst of the great grief caused by the sudden death of her eldest son, no, or it should be said, it was precisely because she was under great pressure and grief that the Queen Mother would rarely be distracted by her reverie, and even let the deep emotions in her heart reach her face, revealing a rather inappropriate smile.

This smile was very short, and the smile was very faint, but it had been seen by Aunt Qiao, which made her more and more frightened, and she didn't dare to tell the news she received, but the Queen Mother had already sent a message to see Xu, even if she was bold enough to hide it, how could she hide it?

"Old lady." She tried her best to organize and coordinate her statement, but she didn't know how to elaborate at all, so that she could euphemize even one or two points, and in the end, the news still came out of the string like an arrow. "The slave maid also only knew the news, the queen mother took advantage of the night before yesterday, and waited for the door between our two palaces to close...... took a few eunuchs, broke into the palace, and took the imperial concubine Niangniang away......"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but be stunned, "She? - What does she want to do? ”

In today's situation, with Sun's temperament, he will inevitably do everything to 'rescue' Zhu'er, or to connect with the foreign ministers. But the queen mother did not order her to be placed under house arrest, she knew that what happened in the palace could not be concealed from the outside world after all, at least, the cabinet and even the important ministers of the ministry, the relatives and clansmen all have connections in the palace, once the news of the queen under house arrest comes out, it will only make the ministers more worried, and many people's mentality will also change, maybe it could have been done, this will not be possible.

Of course, this is also because the Sun family can't make any trouble...... The concubine in the palace is not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and she is not the highest-ranking female in the palace today, and her son is not in her hands. Even if she wants to connect something, with her prestige, it is impossible to stir up any storms, and maybe it will be self-defeating and help Qingning Palace. - However, she really never thought that she would actually hit the Xu family with her idea.

As soon as the time came out, she immediately thought of the Jingci Immortal Master who had suddenly visited the night before, and she had some doubts, but she was immediately answered. "Hehe, it's hard for her, she was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and she was forced to such a point. If you want to move the Xu family, go to the Hu family...... In the past few days, does she often go to Chang'an Palace? ”

"Yes." Aunt Qiao's tone was dry. "The Chang'an Palace is closed, but ...... I let my mother in the night before. ”

Before she could appreciate the imperial concubine's begging for mercy, she had already heard the news that the queen had bowed to the two enemies one after another, even if the queen mother was preoccupied, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, she smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry, the Hu family is just for the sake of the Xu family, come over to take a turn and probe the wind - always to return the love of the Xu family for her daughter's marriage." I also said, why did she come suddenly, although she was not worried about me, but she didn't know the reason why she should be cautious in her words and deeds at this time, and stay out of the matter? It turned out that it should be here. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Aunt Qiao's face was still cloudy, the Queen Mother couldn't help but wonder: Xu's life and death, and whereabouts, after all, are harmless, a concubine who has lost power, even if she adds seven or eight honorific titles and becomes an imperial concubine, what impact can it have on the overall situation? It's here, it's going to go, and the most important thing now is the inheritance of the throne. It's not that Aunt Qiao doesn't understand this truth, she has stated that she will not pursue it, and she is still crying with a sad face, what does this mean?

Just as she was about to ask, the palace maid hurriedly came to report that the eunuch Li Shi, who had been sent out of the harem by her and contacted Dongchang, had returned.

After all, Li Neishou used to be a man, and his style was more straightforward than Aunt Qiao's, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in a hurry, hastily kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and couldn't wait to get up and said, "Old lady!" The slave maid heard this morning - I heard a very ridiculous, very despicable news-"

"Speak quickly!" The Queen Mother's heart sank, and she couldn't care about Aunt Qiao anymore, she sighed, "What's wrong?" ”

"Now there are rumors ......," Li Neishou gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "It is rumored that the emperor was really killed by you!" ”

The Queen Mother was shocked and then stunned, and after a while, she was angry and laughed, "Is such a ridiculous thing worth reporting?" Which time to change the yuan, isn't it a rumor flying all over the sky-"

"This time it's different!" Li Neishou hurriedly said, "You, please listen to the slave maid......

As he spoke, he carefully told the Queen Mother about the current rumors, and finally said, "Now that Liu Hulin is in the hands of Dongchang." Before the slave maid came in to report the news, she heard that the three ministers had sent someone to the archives of the Tai Hospital to check whether the matter was true. ”

Most of the rumors have always been groundless, and they cannot be verified at all. But today's events are well-organized, logical, and complete in human and material evidence, and the most important thing is that it is very consistent with the strange performance of the emperor's illness before his death, where is this still a rumor? Even Aunt Qiao was stunned when she heard it, and her face was full of surprise. Although the Queen Mother was holding her palms on her face, she was still shocked and painful in her heart: Could it be that it was really her own words that hurt Da Lang?

In her heart, she thought about the matter several times, but she couldn't find a flaw. Thinking of Emperor Daxing's death, that shocked, mysterious move, my heart also believed seventy percent, for a while my heart ached, thinking of Emperor Daxing's voice and smile, every word in his memory, every laugh and every cry, was like a sharp knife, just stabbed in her heart.

One hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while, one hundred and three crosses for a while
