Chapter 152: She Wants to Be the Queen Mother
Chapter 152: She Wants to Be the Queen Mother
Emergency? These four words made Zhao Yi's eyes pause, at this time, the Montenegrin Army had been pacified, and those dormant Yellow Turban thieves had seen the power of the imperial court through the Montenegrin Army, and it was expected that there would be no riots in the past two years. Could it be that Queen He is talking about the nomadic tribes near Youzhou?
Zhao Yi bowed down and said: "Niangniang warns, the last general must be kept in mind. ”
Queen He nodded slightly: "This palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I don't know the current situation in the court, can Aiqing tell me one or two?" ”
Inquiring about the situation in the court, these words made Zhao Yi's mind turn very quickly, Queen He and her brother are the generals of the dynasty, if there is a storm in the court, An can hide from her eyes, but Queen He asked about the current major affairs of the court, which made Zhao Yi not feel surprised. Tentatively said some words carefully, although the people complained about the war, but the world is still in the hands of the emperor, with the assistance of He Jin and other pillars of the country, it will be able to ensure that the court is as stable as Mount Tai.
"Steady as Mount Tai?" Empress He laughed self-deprecatingly, waved her hand and said, "Aiqing Hugh wants to deceive me, although I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, I have also heard a little about the affairs of the imperial court. The emperor favored the ten permanent servants, which caused chaos in the dynasty and the people's livelihood. As the queen, Bengong has admonished the emperor many times, but to no avail. The emperor was fascinated by the eunuchs at this time, and his mind was in chaos, but Aiqing couldn't be chaotic, and the world of the Han Dynasty couldn't be chaotic. Aiqing is young and promising, he is a minister of the imperial court, what can be discussed with the general in the future, as long as he is loyal to the court, the palace will not treat you badly. ”
Loyal to the court? At this moment, Emperor Han Ling is still alive, and Empress He should say that she is loyal to the emperor, not the imperial court. At this time, Emperor Ling of Han represents the imperial court, but if Emperor Ling of Han dies, who will represent the imperial court? Thinking of what Queen He said just now, Zhao Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, and sweat broke out in his palms.
"Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are famous generals of the dynasty, they have gradually entered the year of the Mandate of Heaven, if Aiqing is diligent in his work, this palace can guarantee that Aiqing's future achievements are far above Huangfu Song and others." Empress He drew a big cake for Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi's official position at this time was already similar to that of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and the cake painted by Empress He would immediately swear allegiance if others heard it. But Zhao Yi sneered in his heart, this official position is set up by the imperial court, in the eyes of others, you may think that your family is prominent, but in the eyes of the royal family, you are just a dog, the court can give you cakes to feed you, and naturally you can also kill this dog to stew soup. Therefore, Zhao Yi did not have much ecstatic expression on his face, but said with a solemn expression: "The emperor knows the grace of the encounter, and it is difficult to repay the death of the ministers, how dare he not repay the service with all his heart." Zhao Yi accentuated his tone on the word emperor.
Empress He stared at Zhao Yi with burning eyes, Zhao Yi did not take a position in this statement, and gave Empress He an ambiguous answer, which was similar to the answer at the banquet in He Jin's mansion that day. Let Empress He secretly say that Zhao Yi is cunning, and glanced at Zhao Yi: "I heard that Aiqing has not yet married a wife, in addition to the eldest prince, there is also a daughter under the knees of this palace, it is twenty-eight years old, waiting for the ...... of the Japanese palace tomorrow."
Before Queen He's words were finished, she was interrupted by Zhao Yi: "Niangniang is kind, the last general has a heart, but the last general has already married a wife, I am afraid that I have wronged Her Royal Highness the princess, and I ask Niangniang to take back her life." ”
Empress He did not hesitate to marry her beloved daughter to Zhao Yi, but was resigned by Zhao Yi, which made Empress He's eyes stunned, and a cold light flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Why hasn't this palace heard of it?" There was already a hint of anger in his tone.
Zhao Yi's eyes turned to his heart: "The last general and his wife met in Zhuo County and made a vow of life and death, and the last general has just informed his family that he knows, and it is normal for his mother not to hear about it." ”
The royal family marries a daughter the same as the common people, naturally she can't work with other women, no matter how much Queen He values Zhao Yi, she will not let her daughter suffer this grievance. Zhao Yi explained the matter very clearly, and Queen He had to accept the idea of marrying Zhao Yi. Leng Ran glanced at Zhao Yi, but he didn't get angry, and said, this palace is lacking, Zhao Qing should go back first.
These words made Zhao Yi like a pardon, hurriedly bowed and saluted, exited the palace, and Li Liang sent himself outside the palace, and as soon as Zhao Yi walked out of the queen's palace, the smile on the face of the elegant Empress He slowly became cold, pushed the fruit snacks on the table to the ground, and said hatefully: "I don't know how to lift!" ”
Zhao Yun walked back and forth in the courtyard, Zhao Yi had been in the palace for an hour, but there was no news for a long time, which made Zhao Yun a little uncertain, Queen He was not a famous family, she was born in the market and ascended to the queen's throne by some unsightly means. You need to be more cautious when dealing with this kind of person, and palace fights have existed since ancient times, and Queen He can climb to the queen's high seat as a commoner, and the city government and scheming must be quite deep. Zhao Yi dealt with it, and I don't know if it will blow the loss.
With Zhao Yun's anxious expression, Murong Fu scattered fifty guards around the palace to inquire about the news, three hundred people were disguised and ambushed at the city gate with personal weapons, and Tai Shici went out of the city to the camp to prepare his soldiers for battle.
Murong Fu, Dian Wei and others were guarding Zhao Yi's family, and when Zhao Yi had just entered the palace, Murong Fu and others had already begun to arrange. Even Zhao Yun felt the solemn atmosphere, and asked the busy Murong Fu what was the matter with mobilizing the soldiers.
The answers of Murong Fu and the others startled Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was even more shocked than Queen He summoning Zhao Yi into the palace. Murong Fu and the others were very resolute, if Zhao Yi was in danger, they would attack Luoyang City.
"You are soldiers of the court, how can you say such a great rebellion!" Zhao Yun scolded.
Murong Fu was originally from the Xianbei tribe and naturally had no sense of belonging to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although Tai Shici and others were from the Han Dynasty and had special feelings for this land, they had no feelings for the imperial court. From today, when Zhao Yi talked about the court's reward, Tai Shici and Dian Wei were already disappointed in this court, Liu Bei's three brothers were all fierce generals, but they were only given a county order, and Yang Xiu, who had not even held a knife, was named the county guard. "We are waiting for the great favor of the general, if the general is in danger, we will fight for 10,000 years to rescue the general."
Zhao Yi can have such a group of brothers who depend on each other for life and death, Zhao Yun feels relieved, but he disagrees with these people's words, if they attack Luoyang, if the emperor makes any mistakes and the temple collapses, wouldn't the world be in chaos.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun scolded for a while, but Murong Fu and the others did not react, nor were they annoyed or refuted, they just looked at the door quietly.
Liu Bei's three brothers had different faces when they heard the words of Murong Fu and others, Zhang Fei was full of excitement, Murong Fu and the others' approach was very much in line with Zhang Fei's mind, a black face was a little red with excitement, and he was also quite dissatisfied with the actions of the imperial court and had the heart to help Murong Fu and others.
Guan Yu clenched the cold saw in his hand, and squinted at Murong Fu and the others: "Big brother, Murong Fu dared to say such disloyal words, did he take advantage of the chaos to kill him?" Guan Yu admires the righteousness of Murong Fu and others, but he is in a dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, his eldest brother, as a member of the royal family, has never given up serving the court even though he has declined. As his sworn brother, Guan Yu naturally wants to stand in the united front with Liu Bei.
These words were like ice water, extinguishing the flame that had not yet risen in Zhang Fei's heart, and he opened his mouth to say a few words for Murong Fu and the others, but he didn't say it.
Although the three Liu Bei brothers did not have generals in their hands, they were strong in martial arts, and the three brothers came out together, and Guan Yu was eighty percent sure that he could kill Murong Fu and Dian Wei.
Listening to Guan Yu's suggestion, Liu Bei's eyes flashed, his mind turned to consider the feasibility of this matter, and finally pressed Guan Yu's arm: "Second brother, third brother, don't act rashly, we have no soldiers in our hands at this time, if we make a rash move, we will be killed by Murong Fu and others." Let's wait. I only hope that Zhao Yi can come back safely. Saying that, Liu Bei showed an expression of concern for the country and the people on his face. It seems that he is looking forward to Zhao Yi's safe return, so as not to cause trouble. But whether this is the case in the mind is unknown.
When Zhao Yi came back safely, this delicate atmosphere collapsed, and a scuffle ended before it began, Guan Yu was glad that he didn't make a move just now: "Big brother, you still think long-term." Guan Yu praised Liu Bei, but he didn't hear Liu Bei's response for a long time. turned his head and glanced at Liu Bei, but found that Liu Bei was looking at Zhao Yi with a complicated expression, his face seemed to be full of disappointment, and then he became like a spring breeze, and walked over to say hello to Zhao Yi with a smile. Guan Yu blinked, thinking that what he had just seen was an illusion, how could a person's face change so quickly.
Seeing Zhao Yi come back safely, Murong Fu and the others showed a relieved look on their faces. He ordered his soldiers to call back the soldiers scattered at the city gate and Tai Shici who was outside the city.
After everything was calmed down, Zhao Yun called Zhao Yi into the study, and did not say how to govern Youzhou, but looked at Zhao Yi's eyes like electricity: "What is the queen looking for you?" ”
Zhao Yi ignored Zhao Yun's serious expression, sat down on his knees, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to see Zhao Yun's fiery eyes, sighed and slowly said five words: "She wants to be the queen mother." Although Empress He didn't say it explicitly, Zhao Yi could feel her resentment towards the emperor from Empress He's tone. Empress He said so many things to Zhao Yi, in fact, it shows that there is always a change of throne, and the Han Dynasty will last forever.
"What?!" Zhao Yun was taken aback, if the queen wanted to murder the emperor, it would be too easy, "What you said is true?" Zhao Yun still asked with some disbelief, Queen He's family is now at the peak, she is already the master of the harem, and her brother is a general. What is she not satisfied with, why should she do such a rebellious thing?
Zhao Yi had some understanding of Empress He's behavior, and it was also an emperor who would have governed the world in a mess, but he was even fooled around by a group of eunuchs. Empress He's move may have been discussed with He Jin, instead of handing over the world to a monarch like Emperor Ling, it is better to abolish Emperor Ling and set up another prince.
Zhao Yun had lost interest in talking about government affairs with Zhao Yi, stood up and walked outside.
