"Shuhui is thin and shallow, she has to be named a concubine, and waiting for His Majesty in front of the bed has been a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes, and she is definitely not worthy of the throne of the lord of the harem,"

Han Daoming walked to the imperial case and knelt down, and said in a sincere but unquestionable tone,

"The foolish Han Jun has been suffering from cold illness recently, his body is weak, and he has not improved after taking medicine for several days, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to serve His Majesty and the Queen Mother in a short period of time, and I also ask Your Majesty to choose another merit as soon as possible, so as not to miss the matter of the palace guards......"

Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang, who were sitting on the embroidery pier on the side, listened to Han Daoming's words, and their hearts fell slightly.

To tell the truth, His Majesty summoned them into the palace, and at the beginning, he revealed his intention to make Han Daoming's daughter the queen, and both of them were startled, but it was inconvenient to directly advise them in front of Han Daoming.

Fortunately, Han Daoming knew the advance and retreat, not only resisted the temptation of his daughter's canonization, but also asked his son to resign from the general position in the guard's army, so that they could breathe a sigh of relief, and they did not have to worry that the precarious court would fall into a crisis that could fall apart at any time.

Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang knew in their hearts that at this time, only the Han family knew the balance of advance and retreat, and it was possible for them to reach an agreement with Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao, Zhou Bingwu, Du Chongtao and others.

And only if they reach an agreement first, and the queen mother returns to the court in the name of the auxiliary government, it is possible to proceed step by step as quickly as possible, and no more demon moths can be made.

Your Majesty is still really anxious.

The essence in Yang Yuanpu's pupils dimmed slightly, but he did not show the anger of being frustrated with his intentions, and he seemed to have long understood that the possibility of his intention to be realized was extremely small, and he did not place too much hope on it.

Seeing this unexpected past, Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang next bluntly said that the most urgent thing at present is that Yang Yuanpu should personally go out of Donghua to Changchun Palace to welcome the Queen Mother and return to the court.

In order to ensure that there are no twists and turns in this matter, in advance, Zhang Ping or Jiang Wei of the Inner Chamberlain Province should be asked to come forward, and accompany the guards and the commanders of the pro-army camps to make Chen De go to Changchun Palace to ask for peace first, and discuss the specific etiquette of welcoming the Queen Mother back to the court.

Of course, even if the Queen Mother agrees to return to the court in the name of the auxiliary government, there will inevitably be other additional conditions, before these things are properly discussed, before the formal invitation, the privy council must be convened first, and the decree will be announced to the world about the Queen Mother's return to the auxiliary government, and the whole matter will be successfully concluded.

Except for the war in Tangyi and Shuzhou, which were handled by Han Qian and Li Zhihe without authority, as long as other matters are not imminent, they will have to wait until the queen mother returns to the auxiliary government to discuss them, and it will not be bad for a few days.

"Everything is arranged according to the arrangements discussed by the secretaries." Yang Yuanpu said.

Anyway, for him at the moment, it is the least bad result, even if there are still unsatisfactory places, even if Lu Qingxia will put forward a lot of additional conditions, he is not unacceptable.

Many things were handled by Shen Yang, Zhang Ping, Yang Zhitang, and Han Daoming, and Yang Yuanpu, accompanied by Jiang Shu, An Jixiang, and Chen Ruyi, rarely walked out of Chongwen Palace.

After nearly two years of repairs, the imperial palace, which was set on fire by the rebels, was largely renovated, and the imperial garden was expanded to the east and north by dozens of acres, and more than a dozen sets of courtyards were added.

However, there were less than 2,000 eunuchs and palace maids waiting in the palace, and those who were not on duty were all in the class courtyard outside, so that Yang Yuanpu was strolling around the palace, feeling that the entire palace was empty.

Although it was expected that the whole thing would end with a better ending, and the war in Jiangbei seemed to have a tendency to stabilize, Yang Yuanpu felt unprecedented loneliness at this moment.

Even Jiang Shu, An Jixiang, Chen Ruyi and other eunuchs surrounded him, all of them looked cautious, but he trusted Li Zhihe, who was eager to entrust the power of the forbidden army, turned his back on him so easily, so who of these people around him is really reliable and trustworthy?

An Jixiang, Chen Ruyi, Jiang Shu, Yuan Guowei, who knows which day it will not be another Li Zhihe?

Unconsciously, walking to the door of Changxin Palace, Yang Yuanpu was slightly stunned, but he still stepped in.

Qingyang was sitting in the pavilion, playing chess with Yun Puzi to pass the time, when he saw a large group of people suddenly walking in the courtyard, and saw Yang Yuanpu's thin face looking over here, he was busy sorting out his skirt, hurriedly walked to the courtyard, knelt down and said: "I don't know Your Majesty is coming, Qingyang has not dressed up, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me for the abruptness." ”

"Get up...... Yang Yuanpu said, looking at Qingyang's stunning face, he was full of emotion for a while.

Once upon a time, he could vaguely see his own shadow on the scheming Qingyang, perhaps because he didn't like his previous appearance, and he subconsciously didn't feel that Qingyang's peerless appearance was very tempting, not to mention that there were some unclear rumors in the secret that made him feel bored.

However, when he felt that no one around him could be trusted, and when he was full of loneliness, when he looked at Qingyang, who was in a foreign country and was surrounded by rumors, he had a sense of sympathy, and secretly felt that those unclear rumors should also be aimed at her cold arrows and dark arrows, right?

There was a kind of pity in his heart, Yang Yuanpu took Qingyang's hand and asked, "What are you talking about with Yun Daochang?" ”

Qingyang was somewhat flattered by Yang Yuanpu's intimacy, and he couldn't grasp his mentality for a while, so he just said softly: "Your Majesty's chess skills are exquisite, but Qingyang is a little clumsy in this regard, and he is learning a few chess moves from Yun Daochang, thinking that he can accompany His Majesty more in the future." ”

Qingyang accompanied Yang Yuanpu into the pavilion.

Although the pavilion is open on all sides, there is a stove burning at the base under the pavilion, so people can sit in the pavilion and feel warm like spring, and they can also see the scenery in the garden.

It's just that no matter how beautiful such a scenery is, it is only a few acres in a square area, and it is also tormenting to people's hearts for many years.

Seeing Yang Yuanpu coming, Qingyang felt resentment and joy in his heart.

There is a chess set in the pavilion, which is already in the endgame.

Yang Yuanpu smiled and said: "Aifei, you and Yun Daochang continue to finish this game, and the chess is left in the endgame, and it is always disrespectful to chess." ”

"Your Majesty has to teach a concubine, otherwise the concubine will lose miserably." Qingyang said angrily.

Yang Yuanpu motioned to Yun Puzi not to be formal, sit down and play chess, he stood behind Qingyang, watching them play for fun, and inexplicably felt that this moment was very freehand.

…………

…………

Late at night, the lights in the Ming Hall of Han Mansion were still bright, Feng Yi and Han Duan crossed the river and came over, and it was only then that Han Daoming returned from the political hall.

The war on the north shore is still in full swing, and the matter of the Queen Mother's return to the auxiliary government has been decided at the fastest speed.

Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Han Daoming, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhou Bingwu, Du Chongtao and others gathered in the political hall in the afternoon, Zhang Ping and Chen De rushed out of the city to Changchun Palace, and the envoys continued to pass through the Donghua Gate, going back and forth between Changchun Palace and the political hall to transmit information.

Even after nightfall, a side door was opened at Donghua Gate, so that the messenger could still transmit information after nightfall, so that the two sides could communicate smoothly.

It was not until late at night that the two sides negotiated the final conditions, and when the day after tomorrow was auspicious, Emperor Yanyou first issued an edict to the world, and then led the ministers out of Donghua Gate to Changchun Palace to welcome the Queen Mother back to the court.

Although Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang's original plan was to put some things on the back of the Empress Dowager and then discuss them, it is obvious that many things are extremely involved and are put forward as conditions today.

The Queen Mother returned to the court, and when the court held the ceremony, she had to sit in the court with His Majesty.

Even if she is not a regent, the standard of etiquette that the queen mother receives is higher than that of the auxiliary government, and she has to accept the visits of the ministers.

And even if Li Pu, the Duke of Changguo, was responsible for the destruction of the Shui Shi and the Right Shenwu Army, and reduced the officials and lords to the people, except for Li Chong, who surrendered to the enemy, none of the people in the Changguo Mansion were implicated.

There was also a request to formally take Li Zhihe as the governor of the capital, set up a Huaixi camp, and govern the Zuo Longqi Army and the Zuowu Guard, and also demanded the dissolution of the Jinyun Division, the retention of the palace envoys and palace guards of the Changchun Palace, and the merger of the Weaving Bureau into the Changchun Palace, and the right to hear about the matter.

In any case, Lu Qingxia still has to strengthen the role of the eyes and ears of the Weaving Bureau, but they do not have the right to arrest and torture, and in the current situation, it is not an unacceptable condition for Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang.

"The matter of the Queen Mother's return to the court has been negotiated, is it really possible for Li Zhihe to fully cooperate with the Tangyi soldiers to attack Liyang?" Han Daochang was not in Jinling before today, but rushed back to Xuanzhou to dispose of the Han family's Tian Zhai property.

The first batch of more than 300 slaves and maids of the Han family has arrived in Jinling, and they will be able to cross the river to Tangyi tomorrow, and the first batch will also raise materials equivalent to nearly 200,000 yuan, which can be transported to Wushou at the fastest speed in two or three days at the earliest, so as to ensure that the war against Liyang can be carried out as scheduled.

But the biggest problem at the moment is that without Li Zhihe's full cooperation in containing the Chaozhou defenders from the west flank, they will be interspersed with thousands of soldiers and horses on Fucha Mountain, and it is impossible to intercept the Chaozhou defenders, who are several times their size, from south along the east bank of Chaohu Lake to reinforce Liyang.

"Li Zhihe is not a man of lofty ambitions, he needs time to establish a solid foundation in Shuzhou, and digest the part of the power he inherited from the Changguo Mansion, he hopes more than anyone else that the situation in Huaixi can be stabilized, rather than facing the threat of war at any time," Feng Yu said, "At the same time, Li Zhihe should not want to be restrained by Lu Qingxia and others in everything, and let them make repeated defeats - therefore, he should also prefer to see the Empress Dowager return to the court, rather than the power swelled in a short period of time to ...... for no reason."
