Chapter Sixty-Seven: Mother's Rite of the World
Don't look at this black-faced man who has been beaten as soon as he enters the door, but he has always been a celebrity next to King Fu: "Your Majesty, how dare the villain not bother to inquire about this kind of thing, the villain just happened to see the senior management of the Taikang Marquis Zhang Emperor's mansion, which is the senior executive we met after the fall of Luoyang, he said that this time not only Empress Zhang took the clothes to Zhao Nandu, but also Taikang Hou also took the imperial boat to the south!"
King Fu has long forgotten the high-level matter in the mouth of the black-faced man, after all, a noble person like him will not care about the surname of a steward of Taikanghou at all, but after the loss of Luoyang, he did take refuge in Kaifeng Taikanghou's mansion for a time, and only attached himself to King Lu after the city of Kaifeng was broken.
Because this was an unpleasant experience, as soon as the black-faced man said Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji, he remembered: "Since Taikang Hou also went south with the ship, it must be the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Niangniang!" I'm going to meet the imperial sister-in-law, Prime Minister Lu, Gao Yingwu, Huang Degong, and Liu Liangzuo are all handed over to you, as long as they are willing to support this king, they can agree to any conditions!"
As soon as Lu Jiude heard the word "internal minister", he felt that he had won this bet, and he secretly clenched his fists: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is Lu Jiude in Gao Yingwu to ensure that he will be caught, but Zhang Niangniang's side, please Your Majesty must be attentive and attentive, as long as Zhang Niangniang is willing to take out the edict of the first emperor, you can do whatever it takes!"
Liu Kongxi and Empress Zhang are here at the right time, if they drag on for three or five days and get the full support of Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie, King Fu and Lu Jiude will not have the urgency to do whatever it is now.
But now is the critical moment of blessing and support, and whoever can get the support of Queen Zhang Niangniang of Yi'an will be able to win.
Therefore, King Fu also replied solemnly: "Please rest assured that after the fall of Luoyang, I will take refuge in the Taikang Hou Mansion in Kaifeng, since there is such kindness, no matter what the imperial sister-in-law says, I will do it!"
Today's Empress Zhang is still wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, her face is full of pearls and emerald flowers, beads and rings are hung in her ears, she is dressed in a cyan Zhai robe, and she is wearing a jeweled jade and Qiongju, but I don't know why Liu Yongxi always feels that today's Sister Yan is very young and beautiful, and she is at least five years younger than the Queen Zhang in the past, if not ten years younger.
If it is said that Empress Zhang in the past was already a peerless generation, although she was already thirty-eight years old, she looked like she was thirty years old at most, but the current Empress Zhang was already extremely beautiful, and Liu Yongxi herself didn't believe that she was over thirty years old, let alone someone else.
What's more, this year's Empress Zhang has a kind of motherly temperament, although Liu Yongxi has seen many big scenes, but it is really the first time to see this kind of royal temperament from a woman.
According to Liu Yongxi's understanding, it is a kind of temperament of "dominating the world", and ordinary civil and military officials can't resist Empress Zhang's peerless elegance at all, as long as Empress Zhang shows up, they kneel on the ground and call them ministers.
This time the boat traveled south, Liu Yongxi was ready for a real sword and gun battle, but Liu Yongxi didn't expect the whole process to be unexpectedly smooth, and when he met Gao Jiejun, Xing Shengping and Chen Yuan naturally came forward to settle everything, but Lu Zhenfei's careful defense of Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing did not play any role.
Although the civil and military officials deployed are ready and even ready for a big battle, most of the time they don't even need Empress Zhang to come forward, Shi Chaoli, Tong Yili, and Fuding can settle everything in turn, and occasionally it is necessary to invite Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji, and every appearance of Empress Zhang Yan and Empress Zhang will cause earth-shattering mountain calls.
Whether it was Liu Yongxi or Shi Chaoli, they didn't expect everyone to welcome Empress Zhang's southward arrival so much, many officials and generals were originally ordered by Lu Zhenfei to block all the southward escape, and even Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing's soldiers were blocked by them, but they were already so excited that they didn't see Empress Zhang now, and after seeing Empress Zhang, many people became part of the team escorting Empress Zhang's southward crossing.
It is really Queen Zhang, the mother of the world, the emperor's temperament is too strong, coupled with her gorgeous clothes, everyone understands at first sight that this is the legendary queen mother and not some impostor, and many soldiers and civilians who saw Tianyan for the first time cried loudly.
It's just that seeing such a magnanimous Queen Zhang, Liu Yongxi can't help but think of her completely different and peerless elegance, last night the two of them were together Sister Yan was tender and obedient, Liu Yongxi once again experienced her infinite charm, and felt that she was happier than the gods, and the two of them only hated that the sky was too early and the sound insulation was too poor.
It's just that today's Sister Yan is too beautiful!
She obviously hasn't dressed up much, this is what Liu Yongxi saw with his own eyes, but Queen Zhang is so beautiful now!
As soon as Liu Yongxi thought of this, he heard someone over there say loudly: "Lu Futai is here, Lu Futai is coming to meet Niangniang!"
Lu Zhenfei is coming?
Liu Yongxi, the governor of Huai'an, has always had a good impression of him, and he immediately stood up, but Queen Zhang didn't even lift the curtain of the courtroom: "Lu Zhenfei is not in such a hurry, Xiaoxi, you have to calm down!"
When Empress Zhang said this, Liu Yongxi also came to her senses, and she was too anxious!
For Lu Zhenfei, even the southern crossing of the noble concubine is a major event, not to mention that this is still Empress Yi'an, who once presided over Emperor Chongzhen's accession to the throne, not to mention that Liu Yongxi has already released a rumor that Empress Zhang brought a cloth edict to the southward this time.
In this case, Lu Zhenfei must confirm whether the so-called "Queen Yi'an Zhang" is a scam or not. After all, in the past seventeen years, Empress Zhang has been living in Da Nei, and almost no one has seen her, and he also has to confirm whether the accompanying household head Tong Yili, the minister Shi Chaoli, and the Taikang Marquis Zhang Guoji are true or false, and the most important problem is to confirm whether Empress Zhang has the legendary edict in her hand.
It is precisely because Lu Zhenfei needs to confirm all this, although the governor of Huai'an has already released the news that he is coming to meet Empress Zhang, he will not appear in his field of vision in a short time: "Got it, Sister Yan!"
Empress Zhang replied with great dignity: "Call me Niangniang!"
Liu Yongxi could only answer honestly: "I have always done what my mother wanted!"
Seeing that Empress Zhang didn't give Liu Yongxi a good look, the two pretty little palace maids couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It was the first time they had seen Liu Yongxi suffer such a loss in front of his mother, but Queen Zhang over there had no scruples in a very serious tone: "Xiaoxi, you can do what I want!" Lu Zhenfei estimates that he will have to wait, but I think King Fu and King Lu may not be able to wait!"
Liu Yongxi just wanted to speak, but he heard Shi Chaoli's voice outside: "Niangniang, King Fu is coming to see Niangniang, do you see it or not?" ”
Empress Zhang replied in an extremely dignified tone: "No, tell King Fu that now is not the right time to meet, and it is not too late to meet again when we get to Nandu!"
