The air in the room was stagnant, and only the emperor's voice was there: "Ministers, you are all the pillars of my Dayong, then, the border soldiers are the cornerstone of my Dayong, at this moment, the cornerstone of Dayong is unstable, what is the use of this pillar?" ”

After speaking, the emperor's hand was put down, his expression was tired, but the light in his eyes was excited, such words, the emperor has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has not known how to say it, for the face of the ministers, for their support, he has to give up a lot. Emperor Daxing's words rang in his ears again, and crystal tears flashed in the corners of the emperor's eyes, and then they shook so lightly that they flowed out of his eyes.

Balance, balance, but when these pillars are balanced, the cornerstone of Dayong has been unconsciously hollowed out, without the cornerstone, no matter how strong the pillars are, what is the use?

"Your Majesty, the rebel minister has no way, and he speaks demagogic words, and the minister thinks that he is ......" Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already looked at him: "Qin Qing, let me ask you, if I take all your family property and take all your concubines away, so that you can only eat tofu every day, Qin Qing may still be loyal to the king, don't say that I am a faint king?" ”

Qin Shangshu was speechless, slipped off the chair, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, ...... minister"

"Of course I know that you didn't make a mistake, but what kind of mistake did those soldiers at the border pass? Why should they be deducted from their salaries, why should they be abused by civil officials, and even scolded for being dogs? Ministers, may tell me why? ”

There was still no one in the room to speak, and the princess of Qin Guo looked at her younger brother, a proud smile appeared on her lips, her younger brother has grown up.

"Ministers, I ask you one thing today, is everything you say today really for the sake of the country, or for yourself? If there is really no one to lead the troops, and the army of the Qing and Tang Dynasty drives straight in, on the day of arrival, the ministers will still say this, in order to prevent the rivers and mountains from being stained with blood and the lives of the people, please abdicate Your Majesty, tie yourself up and surrender, and become a good story of a generation! ”

This is the army of Emperor Taizu of the Chen family that day, when the soldiers came to the city, the prime minister at that time said to the Son of Heaven of the Li Dynasty, after that, the Son of Heaven bound himself and surrendered, and the country changed his surname. This passage more than 200 years ago was recorded in the history books, and it was said by the emperor more than 200 years later.

"As the Son of Heaven, I naturally cannot suffer such insults, and it is better to follow the ancestors at that time than to be killed after surrendering. It's just that I don't know, if there is really that day, how many people are willing to accompany me to sit here at this moment and accompany me in handling political affairs? ”

The emperor said these words slowly, and now even Chu Shoufu and the others had already stood up, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Ministers, it is also for the sake of the country and the society, a sincere heart, I hope Your Majesty will witness!" ”

"Since they are all loyal ministers and so patriotic, then it is up to Sister Fang to say, to draft an edict, with Liu Jinsong as the general of Pingxi, and Wu as the deputy general of the border guard, to resist the invasion of the Qingtang Dynasty. The local health centers, ready to rush to help, should be grain and grass military supplies, by the household department is responsible for the mobilization, if there is a violation of the edict and delay the do, beheaded! ”

The emperor's voice was sonorous and powerful, which made the smile on the lips of the princess of Qin State even bigger, and she stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I also understand what you are worried about? Even so, the edict was passed on, and Princess Yongle was born to the children who entered the palace to accompany the queen after returning to Beijing, and also, in order to avoid the loneliness of the mother of the willow horse, let her enter the palace together! ”

"Sister, this can't be!" This is clearly to take Yulin as a hostage, and the smile on the lips of the princess of Qin Guo is calm: "Brother, I have my own opinions on this matter!" "Since this is the case, the emperor didn't say much, and someone went down to draft the edict.

Chu Shoufu and the others stood up, and only then did Chu Shoufu ask: "Your Majesty, Cen Yichen?" ”

"If you plot against the country and mislead the country, you will naturally be unforgivable, and you will be beheaded. As for his family, exile for three thousand miles! "This is already a punishment for the opening of the net, and no one dares to say that the Son of Heaven is wrong to deal with it like this at this moment, and all the ministers retreat after saluting.

"Brother, if my father knew that you were like today, he would be very happy!" This is like a Son of Heaven, this is the Son of Heaven, not anything else.

"Sister, I, no, I'm still a little worried, I'm afraid that it's like this, and after a long time, I will become an arbitrary faint king!" The establishment of ministers is not only to handle affairs for the emperor, but also to advise the emperor.

"With me, how can you become an arbitrary faint king?" The words of the princess of Qin made the emperor smile, the young son of heaven, at this moment, he really faded his youthfulness and began to take on the demeanor of a bright monarch.

"Sister really said that?" Yulin listened to what the waiter who came to deliver the decree said, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and the waiter was still respectful: "It is indeed the princess of Qin Guo who said it, princess, if the princess is unwilling to do this, she can go and ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

"No, I'd love to!" The thoughts in Yu Lin's heart turned several times, and she understood why the princess of Qin Guo wanted to do this, interrupting the words of the inner servant, since Yu Lin said so, the inner servant also retreated.

"Yulin!" Not long after the chamberlain retreated, Princess Qin walked in, Yulin stepped forward with a smile, looking at Yulin's smile, Princess Qin Guo knew in her heart, but still asked: "You won't blame me, right?" ”

"I understand my sister's intentions very well, so naturally I won't blame my sister." At this moment, only by letting Yulin enter the palace as a hostage can the mouths of the ministers be blocked, and Liu Jinsong can lead the troops to fight without worries!

"I knew that Yulin was very smart!" Yulin nodded shyly, and then said, "I will write him a letter to ask him not to worry about us, and say, I will serve a good mother-in-law!" ”

Princess Qin patted Yulin's shoulder: "Good boy, I don't hurt you!" ”

"Isn't my sister also a child?" Yulin's words made Princess Qin Guo smile, and then Princess Qin Guo sighed lightly: "I'm different from you, Yulin, I've not been a child since I was very young!" ”

In those past, the princess of Qin didn't say it, Yulin didn't ask again, she just ordered someone to bring pen and ink, Yulin quickly wrote a letter, this letter is not trivial, and it will naturally be sent to the border together with the military newspaper!

"Ah Song is like a word, knowing the border war, and he is anxious. My mother-in-law was anxious about the war and had moved in with me. I ...... "At this moment, the preciousness of this family letter cannot be underestimated, Liu Jinsong read it carefully, only to feel that every word is so precious." Yulin, I will fight this battle well for you! Liu Jinsong swore in his heart, and his face already showed a resolute look.

"General, the will has arrived!" The official decree came later than the news of the arrival of the military bulletin, and Liu Jinsong stood up to greet the official who carried the decree.

Angels are also acquaintances, when they saw Xu Zhi'an, Liu Jinsong showed a smile on his face, and after reading out the will, Xu Zhi'an bowed to Liu Jinsong: "Congratulations to Liu Zhima, if you win this battle, the marquis is just around the corner!" ”

"The marquis is not what I want, what I want, but my wife and children are safe!" Liu Jinsong's words made Xu Zhi'an smile: "Sure enough, Liu Kuima is different from others!" On the day I left Beijing, Princess Yongle was still in the imperial tomb. But they were very good to hear! ”

It's enough, Liu Jinsong smiled, looking at the smile in his eyes, Xu Zhian smiled again, the horse chosen by my sister is actually really good.

"Move into the palace, princess, isn't that a hostage?" Hearing what Yulin said in person, Liu Fengying had already frowned, and Yulin walked up to her: "Mother-in-law, I ......"

"Princess, you don't have to persuade me, I understand, but if the court wants to use Ah Song, why don't you trust him?" Liu Fengying's reaction was expected by Yu Lin, and Yu Lin sighed lightly before saying: "Mother-in-law, Ah Song, he is a member of the Liu family, and he is still the nephew of King Lie!" ”

Although the Lie King was posthumously crowned as the king and set up a shrine to worship, the charge of rebellion on his body was not lifted. With Liu Jinsong as a general, there will inevitably be ministers who will oppose it. Liu Fengying thought about it, how could she not understand the intention, but she still couldn't help but say: "But Ah Song counts, he is still His Majesty's cousin!" ”

The serious son of the Zhu family, Yulin still sighed with a smile: "Mother-in-law, although the Zhu family is His Majesty's maternal grandfather, at this moment, it has been suppressed. "With the blood of the Zhu and Liu families, it is not a good thing for Liu Jinsong.

"If we don't enter the palace, the impeachment of Ah Song is indispensable!" Naturally, some people resist to the death with the idea of loyalty and patriotism, this is also the old example of courtiers, Liu Fengying was born in the Liu family and married into the Zhu family, how can she not understand this, bowed her head and was silent.

"Mother-in-law doesn't need to worry, although it is said to live in the palace, but we live in the old residence of my sister in the palace, after she moved out of the palace, no one lived in, the scenery is very good, and it is also very close to the liquid pool, enjoy the lotus in summer, enjoy the chrysanthemum in autumn, and enjoy the plum in winter, there are places to go!"

"I know how happy I would have been if I could enter the palace for a while thirty years ago, but unfortunately, it's not thirty years ago!" Liu Fengying smiled faintly, the passing years seemed to be not far away in this smile.

Thirty years ago, Liu Fengying was Liu Guifei's favorite niece, and when she entered the palace, she could play with the princesses, thirty years later? Liu Fengying laughed at herself and didn't speak.

"Thirty years later, mother-in-law, you are my mother-in-law, the person who must be respectfully served by Princess Yongle, and the person who is the queen who also needs to be called an elder, and when you enter the palace, you don't need to be so restrained!" Yulin's relief made Liu Fengying look up and smile, and then said: "I'm old, it's inevitable to be confused, princess Hugh should take it to heart!" ”

"You are the mother of your husband, and it is inevitable to worry about your husband, how can I think that what you think is wrong?" Yulin's words made Liu Fengying smile, entering the palace to live, there is not so much to worry about, whether it is a year or two, you always have to wait for your son to come back.

King Wu did not express any opinion on the matter of his daughter entering the palace for a temporary residence, but as the emperor's uncle at this time, he still received a special order from the Son of Heaven, and every five days, Yulin could return to King Wu's mansion from the palace. As for King Wu, he can also enter the palace to visit his daughter at any time.

"Yulin, although this matter is a gesture, you must also do a good job of posture. Those Wenchen, sometimes I want to smoke them too! King Wu's advice made Yulin smile, she patted King Wu's hand, and said comfortingly: "Daddy, I know, besides, in this palace, I haven't been in it." I used to stay overnight. Besides, now that the younger siblings are in charge, it's no longer the time for the aunt to give orders! ”

The battle between the Empress Dowager Zhu and her son was still defeated, and after the first emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the Empress Dowager Zhu moved into the Ningshou Palace, the Zhaoyang Palace, and now the Hu family lives. There was a new owner in the palace, and there were Wu Shufei and others of the first emperor who were taken out of the palace after receiving the new honorific title. Those who stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother were only a few old concubines.

After such a toss, the palace felt empty and lonely, not only did there be fewer owners of the palace, but many of the people who originally served the emperor were also sent out of the palace, and a group of older palace people were released according to the custom. The remaining vacancies should have been filled in the next year, but at this moment, due to the war, this matter was stopped, but it was funded by the inner government and a group of innocent people were purchased into the palace to fill the vacancies.

But there are not many of these people, sitting in the sedan chair all the way, walking for a long time without meeting a palace person, Liu Fengying looked at the palace, for many years, never thought that one day would be able to re-set foot in this palace, not as a forgiven sinner, but as a princess and mother-in-law!

"Grandmother, why are so many sisters missing?" Liu Wangshu doesn't care whether she enters the palace to live or not, after all, for her, where there is a mother, there is home. Looking out of the sedan car at this moment, I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's common for people to be replaced in the palace!" Liu Fengying patiently told her granddaughter that Xiao Wangshu yawned a little, and she was caught by Yulin from the quilt early this morning, and after freshening up and changing clothes, she went to kowtow to King Wu to say goodbye, and she was going to greet the officially arrived messenger, where she heard the messenger read a lot of words, and she had long wanted to doze off.

"Sleep, sleep, good boy, sleep well!" Seeing her granddaughter sleepy, Liu Fengying was naturally reluctant, and hugged her granddaughter tighter, Xiao Wangshu fell asleep in a moment, the sedan chair had stopped, and a female official came to greet her!

This palace seems to be newly built, Liu Fengying looked at the somewhat unfamiliar palace in front of her, compared to it, this former residence of the princess of the Qin Kingdom, although it is not as rich as other palaces, but it is more exquisite.

Seeing Liu Fengying standing at the gate of the palace and looking, Yulin had already said: "Mother-in-law, go in, this palace was built by my uncle when my sister was three years old!" "No wonder this palace, closer to the former emperor's bedchamber, is really like a jewel.

Liu Fengying thought in her heart, and stepped into the palace gate with Yulin, the main hall is the residence of the princess of Qin, Yulin and Liu Fengying live in the east and west side halls, bypassing the main hall, it is a garden, although this garden is only one acre square, it is also planted with precious flowers and trees, and a small lotus pond is dug against the wall, and there are lotus flowers blooming at this moment.

"The delicacy of this palace is better than all the palace rooms in this palace!" Liu Fengying was taken around the palace by Yulin, returned to the pavilion next to the lotus pond and sat down, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yulin couldn't help but smile faintly, and heard someone calling her mother in her ear, and when she looked up, it was the princess of Qin who walked in with Xiao Wangshu in her arms. Xiao Wangshu was in the arms of the princess of Qin State, so she stretched out her hands to ask for her mother's hug, Yulin took her daughter and pulled her little ear: "Aren't you sleeping?" Why did you wake up at this point? ”

"I was sleeping, but I heard someone come in, thinking it was my mother, who knew that I waited for a long time and didn't speak, then I opened my eyes and found that it was Aunt Qin Guo. I heard that you are walking in the garden, mother, you are too, why don't you wake me up? Xiao Wangshu put his arms around Yulin's neck and began to complain.

Yulin couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you sleeping?" I don't want to bother you. ”

"But I want to be with my mother!" Xiao Wangshu emphasized again, Yulin couldn't help rubbing his daughter's head: "You, at a young age, you can only speak sweet words when you learn to speak!" ”

"Mrs. Liu, the matter is urgent, so I have to do this, and I hope that Mrs. Liu will blame me!" While Yulin's mother and daughter were talking there, the princess of Qin State had already saluted Liu Fengying and apologized, which made Liu Fengying hurriedly return the salute: "Princess Hugh said so, the concubine is not an unreasonable person, the child can serve the country and share the worries for the king, and the concubine should try her best to approve it!" ”

"Mrs. Liu is like this, very lucky!" The princess of Qin gave another salute, and Liu Fengying returned the salute again.

Xiao Wangshu's little head nodded: "Mother, what are grandmothers and aunts doing?" Why worship and worship? Yulin touched her daughter's head: "This is called saluting, saluting each other, didn't Mama teach you?" ”

Xiao Wangshu shook his head: "Why haven't you taught it?" Saying that, Xiao Wangshu jumped down from Yulin's arms, sorted out the clothes on the □ seriously, and then said to Liu Fengying: "Grandmother is above, granddaughter greets grandmother!" ”

Seeing her pursing her small mouth and clenching her little fists, Liu Fengying really felt that her heart was blooming, and she grabbed her hand: "Good girl, grandmother knows!" ”

"What is Niu Niu?" Xiao Wangshu asked again with a glare. Liu Fengying couldn't help laughing, Yulin smiled at the princess of Qin, and the princess of Qinguo nodded slightly.

After lunch, the princess of Qin also left. Yulin then took the children and Liu Fengying to meet the owner of the harem, Queen Hu.

Empress Hu, the new queen, has only just moved into the palace, and things are busy, but she still took the time to summon and give a lot of gifts. In addition to Queen Hu, there are several other concubines in the palace, but the highest status is only Jieyu, Yulin doesn't need to go to visit, but sent a maid to the place where they live to say something.

"Why don't we go and see the Queen Mother?" Coming out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Liu Fengying asked strangely.

"Your Majesty has already made a will, the Queen Mother is sad that the first emperor has collapsed, lingering on the sickbed, except for important matters, no one is allowed to disturb!" Yulin's words made Liu Fengying silent, and then Liu Fengying said: "Actually, when the Queen Mother was young, we also knew each other!" ”

It's strange that they don't know, they are also sisters-in-law, Liu Fengying noticed Yulin's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "It's when I was young, I didn't know the Zhu family at that time. At that time, she often said that she wanted a husband who could fall in love with her! ”

This is what the girls at that time couldn't say the most, but they wanted it the most, right? Yulin knew it, but after all, she still didn't get it, when Empress Dowager Zhu received the holy decree, did she ever think that becoming the queen, with her talent, would make the Son of Heaven fall in love with her?

Yulin looked in the direction of Ningshou Palace, Ningshou Palace was as welfare, but compared to other palaces, she always felt less angry, although Ningshou Palace had the most people.

"Your brother, really ruthless, doesn't look like my son anymore!" Empress Dowager Zhu sighed to Princess Le'an, the emperor ordered the Empress Dowager to recuperate, and there were naturally not many people who could talk to the Empress Dowager, except for a few old concubines, as well as Empress Hu's daily province, and the rest, only Princess Le'an.

"Mother, why do you bother? Do you have to let Adi respect the Zhu family? Princess Le'an persuaded the Empress Dowager Zhu, the Empress Dowager Zhu's clothes and ornaments were dignified and rich, but she couldn't hide her deep exhaustion: "Zhi'er, you don't know, your grandfather didn't know how much effort he put into order to make me live well in the palace!" ”

"Queen Mother, at this moment, are you still deceiving yourself?" Princess Le'an ordered people to hide the fact that the Zhu family's title was taken away, and the Queen Mother didn't know that the situation of the Zhu family was different from the original at this moment, and she was still thinking about the Zhu family entering Beijing!

"I just want to spend a moment with my relatives, isn't that allowed?" Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't suppress her anger, and she wanted to be angry with her daughter but was reluctant, after all, these days, she still lost her daughter to accompany her in the palace.

"Queen Mother, if the Zhu family really has a lot of affection for you, how could they send you to the palace, the queen, naturally she is very noble, but the queen is just the queen!" Princess Le'an also became agitated.

These words made Empress Dowager Zhu silent, and then she looked at her daughter and suddenly smiled: "Yes, the queen, it's just the queen, so even my daughter is blaming me, because she thinks that rights are the most important thing?" ”

Didn't my mother think so? If not, why did the mother turn against the father? Princess Le'an's words made Empress Dowager Zhu freeze and turn away from looking at her daughter. Princess Le'an sat there, feeling very tired, and such a conversation would appear almost every time she came in to visit her mother. The glory and wealth of the Zhu family are already the demons in the heart of the Queen Mother, and they can't be solved.

Princess Le'an left Ningshou Palace, and after walking for a while, she heard the laughter of children not far away, Princess Le'an followed the voice, and the maid beside her had already said: "This is Princess Yongle's child!" Princess, you can also bring the little boy and play with them! ”

"Bring him in, you'll spoil him!" Speaking of her son, Princess Le'an was a little happier in her heart, Yulin had already seen Princess Le'an, and asked Xiao Wangshu to come forward and call her aunt!

"Xiao Shu'er is really getting smarter and smarter, is it okay to be my aunt's daughter-in-law?" Princess Le'an bent down and picked up Xiao Wangshu, teasing Xiao Wangshu, Xiao Wangshu's eyes widened, Princess Le'an thought she would ask, what is a daughter-in-law, but Xiao Wangshu has already shaken her head and said loudly: "Not good!" ”

The answer was so crisp and neat, which made Princess Le'an a little embarrassed, Yulin had already hugged her daughter over and put it down: "That's, you are so naughty, who wants you to be a daughter-in-law?" This relieved Princess Le'an's embarrassment, looking at Xiao Wangshu who ran away, Princess Le'an smiled faintly and looked at Yulin seriously: "I only think now that my sister is very worthy of envy!" ”
