Thinking of the past, the mother, who rarely showed a trace of sadness, paused when she said this, looked at Huang Qiong and sighed slightly before continuing: "The most important thing is that the transfer of these people is not noticeable. It was through these lower-level officials, especially those of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, that he infiltrated the four major battalions and the forbidden army little by little. ”

Through these people's central contact, they persuaded the four major battalions of the capital to command the Guo Yi and Ruijian battalions, and the left and right armies of Long Xiang and the left army of the control crane in the eight armies of the forbidden army obeyed the imperial court orders. Under the painstaking management of your father, you can be regarded as having some capital to fight with your grandfather. ”

"Maybe he also knew about your grandfather's physical condition, so he didn't act hastily, but still waited patiently for a suitable opportunity. It wasn't until your grandfather died suddenly that he started to do it. ”

Hearing her mother say these causes and consequences, Huang Qiong pondered for a while and said, "Mother, there is a little bit that my son still doesn't understand, and I ask my mother to teach me." Now that my grandfather has passed away, the power of the past has long been wiped out. At present, the father is already in power, but judging from the completeness of his grandfather's mausoleum, the father does not seem to have carried out much liquidation of his grandfather. ”

"And according to what my son has learned from studying for so many years, similar to what his grandfather did, as long as the emperor can return to power, it will be a light thing to crush the bones and scatter ashes. Even if the father doesn't want to dig up the grave and whip the corpse, those clans that have been suppressed or even killed for many years, as well as civil officials who have also been suppressed for a long time, will definitely not let go of the grandfather's mausoleum. ”

"I think my father should not thank my father for abolishing Emperor Liezong and appointing him as emperor. The end of my uncles, though you have not yet told me. Judging from the completeness of my grandfather's mausoleum, my uncles should not be subject to much reckoning. ”

"Maybe my father put up with it because he wanted to take care of the overall situation, after all, he only controlled less than half of the strength of the capital garrison back then. If you do it rashly, it is likely to cause the situation to spiral out of control. But after so many years, my father's throne has long been stable. My father still hasn't started with my grandfather's mausoleum, and I think there's something else hidden in this. ”

After Huang Qiong's words were finished, her mother raised her head to look at Huang Qiong, shook her head and said, "Indeed, as you said, your father only controlled fifty percent of the garrison in the capital at that time. There are also some of them who are not too reliable. Although your grandfather has passed away, he still has a considerable number of friends in the army. ”

"At least the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the four major battalions, among the Eighth Army of the Forbidden Army, the Yiwei Left and Right Army, the Yingyang Left and Right Army guarding the outer city, are still controlled by your grandfather's sworn friends. And the guy who was the commander of the Wuwei Battalion at the time was also the first rat. Although he did not stand on your grandfather's side, he did not lean on your father's side. ”

"At that time, when I was about to give birth, I negotiated the conditions with your father. I'll help him stabilize the situation and convince your grandfather's best friend to submit to him. He spared your grandfather's mausoleum. Property can be confiscated, but let go of your uncles who don't have much public resentment. At least your nerdy sixth uncle doesn't deserve to die. After the incident, I personally disposed of it with him. ”

"At that time, the situation in the capital was extremely tense, and even the slightest spark could cause a big chaos. You must know that although your father controls fifty percent of the garrisons inside and outside the capital, this is only the dynamics of the garrison in the capital. The attitude of the local guards and border troops is even more difficult for your father to control. ”

"The Xijing battalion with 50,000 troops are all veterans brought out by your grandfather on the northwest battlefield, and seventy percent of the generals at all levels are your grandfather's henchmen. The border army in the northwest, which has the strongest combat power, is all under the control of your grandfather's subordinates. The two border armies of Yanshan Mansion and Yunzhou are also sixty percent controlled by your grandfather's henchmen. ”

"Once you fight in the same room, you are destined to bleed all over the place. If you are not careful, you will repeat the rebellion of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. After hearing the news of your grandfather's death, Emperor Liao personally led the army of the country to go south in two ways, and stationed troops outside Yanshan Mansion and Datong Mansion, and once there was an opportunity, he would release Ma Zhongyuan. ”

"At that time, the situation was almost out of control. Your father, I once said that his greatest virtue is his ability to endure. Although I saw a trace of humiliation and unwillingness in his eyes at the time, he finally chose to accept my conditions. ”

"Your grandfather misjudged him back then, but I didn't misread him. Not long after entering the palace, I realized that he was not as cowardly as he appeared. His strong will and endurance are definitely not inferior to Emperor Taizong back then. Although he has always hidden it well, the occasional clues have not been able to hide it from me. ”

"If I want to get rid of him, I don't have to do it myself, I just need to mention it to your grandfather, and the ending of Emperor Liezong is waiting for him there. Don't look at him as my nominal husband at the time, but your grandfather will not hesitate for the sake of power. But for the sake of the family, for the sake of your uncles who didn't make it, I didn't do that in the end. ”

"Because I didn't have a choice at the time, if I betrayed your father and the emperor, it would be the same if someone else came. At that time, your grandfather's control of the situation was far from reaching the point of doing whatever he wanted. Your grandfather deposed Emperor Liezong as King Xiang back then, and there were already rebellions one after another. Even a rebel army has attacked Mengjin, which is close to the capital. ”

"Your grandfather spent a lot of effort to barely put down the rebels from all walks of life. If your father is deposed again, your grandfather will directly usurp the throne, which will cause chaos in the world. And your grandfather's body can't last two years at all. None of your uncles can take over the overall situation. ”

"Once your grandfather ascends the throne ahead of schedule, the outcome of the entire family will only be worse. What's more, the Liao army's iron cavalry was eyeing outside Yanshan Mansion, waiting for the civil strife in Daqi so that they could enter the Kou. Under internal and external troubles, I have almost no choice but to cover up for your father. At least, I'm still somewhat confident in this. ”

At this point, the mother stopped the conversation. In the courtyard, the sudden noise and the shouts of the officials interrupted the topic that Huang Qiong wanted to ask next. Hearing the voice of the official in the courtyard, Huang Qiong felt a little nervous, for fear that someone would find out that her mother and son were hiding in this inn.

The mother, who also heard the noisy voices in the yard, looked back at Huang Qiong, who was somewhat nervous, but said nothing. Neither left with Huang Qiong, nor did he try to hide. Instead, he sat in his room, as if waiting for the servants to come into the room and arrest them.

Huang Qiong, who was originally a little nervous and wanted to persuade her mother to hide. After seeing the calmness on his mother's face, he suddenly calmed down. Mother sat there quietly and didn't say a word. But it was like a needle that fixed the sea, which stabilized Huang Qiong's mood in the shortest possible time.

It's just that to Huang Qiong's surprise, the officials in the courtyard only snorted for a while, and after getting the dozens of money stuffed by the shopkeeper, they turned around and left, without even entering the room to search. For this style of these officials, Huang Qiong understood it after a little pondering.

Thinking about the reason for the bluff of these servants, looking at the sleeve with a corner missing from her mother's right hand, Huang Qiong couldn't help but show a strange smile at the corner of her mouth. It's just that the strange smile on the corner of Huang Qiong's mouth, although it was only a flash, but it was not able to hide her mother's bland-looking, but actually sharp eyes.

Hearing her mother's inquiry, Huang Qiong said lightly: "Mother, when my son wanted these officials to search, did his bluff have anything to do with the sleeve you dropped in the hotel?" Actually, you didn't have to drop that sleeve in the first place, you have a certain cleanliness fetish, but it's not that serious. ”

"The reason why you dropped that sleeve is very simple, you are worried that Jingzhao Mansion will arrest innocent people indiscriminately when they can't catch people. Although the clothes on your mother and son are simple, the fabric is not silk and satin. But this cloth son has heard Aunt Yao mention, it is all from the palace royal weaving workshop, which is specially spun with cotton from the northwest tribute. ”

"And these weavings, because cotton is extremely rare, are not usually seen outside the palace. Even in the East Palace and the Princes' Mansions, only the emperor's reward can have some. Even in the palace, ordinary concubines have no right to wear them unless they are ordered to do so. If that Jingzhao Mansion Yin hadn't been stupid, he would have known the person he was looking for when he saw this piece of fabric, and his identity was probably not ordinary. ”

"Although it is inevitable that some people will suffer some crimes, at least it will not be a large-scale strain. As for that Wu Changhou, even if the power is monstrous. Seeing this cloth, I can only swallow this thing back into my stomach. Just because his stupid son didn't know him didn't recognize the fabric. ”

After Huang Qiong finished speaking, her mother was slightly stunned before she said: "You are far smarter than I expected, and your reaction is much faster." If it weren't for me sitting in front of you, I wouldn't even dare to imagine that this was a ten-year-old kid who could have deduced it from just a few clues. ”

"You have lived in the cold palace with me since you were a child, and you don't have any playmates. There is hardly anything to do other than reading books and practicing martial arts. In the past few years since you recovered from your last serious illness, you have been much more silent. I didn't think that these are the things you've been thinking about all day. ”

Seeing that Huang Qiong wanted to explain the meaning of her words after listening to her words, her mother waved her hand and said, "These things themselves are taught to you by me, so you don't need to explain." I only hope that you will not be like your father in the future. Your father's strength is that he can endure it, and he can endure what ordinary people can't endure. ”

It was this word forbearance that made him finally have the last laugh. But his biggest problem is that he is too rigid to listen to different opinions. You are very clever and have inherited the patience of your father. You've always been curious about the reason for my dethronement, but you didn't ask until today. ”

"The life of the cold palace, you have also known it all these years. But all these years of loneliness and loneliness, you have never mentioned it. You were originally quite disgusted by letting you learn martial arts, but you still persevered all these years. The homework I assigned to you, not to mention that you are a child, even an adult is unbearable, but you persevered. ”

"Just because I don't say something doesn't mean I don't see it. I am both happy and relieved that you can endure things that ordinary people can't. Although you have always been by my side, you still follow their Huang family in terms of temper and temperament. There are some things that I can't change if I want to change them deliberately. ”

"Sometimes it's really amazing to look at the blood and bones. Now my biggest concern is that you must not inherit your father's stubbornness. All I can teach you is what it takes to survive. As for how much you will comprehend in the future, you can only be led by the master and practiced in person. ”
