"Queen Mother, is the Yin Concubine really ......?" As soon as she heard the news of Concubine Yin's rebellion, Princess Yuzhang kept hurrying to find the Lizheng Palace, and asked the eldest grandson queen in a loud voice.

How could a concubine Niangniang, who is so gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on her face all the time, do such a rebellious thing as murdering her father? Yu Zhang, who has always been loved by Concubine Yin, couldn't accept this fact, so he had to ask for confirmation in front of Empress Changsun.

"Ru'er, the queen mother knows that Concubine Yin's sister Ping Suli also loves you very much, and the relationship between your mother and daughter is not shallow," Seeing Yu Zhang's current appearance, Empress Changsun got up gently, took Yu Zhang's little hand and sat down slowly, and said softly: "However, things have happened in the end, and no one can change them." ”

"If the bowl of poisonous bird's nest porridge sent by Concubine Yin for the emperor last night was exposed in public, and there would be no more action, the emperor might still be able to remember the past feelings without care," as if thinking of what happened in the study last night, Empress Eldest Sun sighed softly: "It's a pity that Concubine Yin didn't repent at that time, and she intensified." ”

Glancing at Yu Zhang, Empress Changsun continued: "Conniving at the murder of his subordinates, intending to murder the emperor and the palace, that is not something that can be forgiven with a word." Last night, if it weren't for the fact that your imperial father was so precautionary, according to the ability of that yin chun, today, I am afraid that you would not be able to see your father and queen mother. ”

Thinking about the tragic situation of being killed by random arrows last night, the eldest grandson queen, who had not seen blood for several years, had a sad face, and there were still some lingering palpitations in her heart.

"But, why is this, okay, how could she ...... the Yin Concubine Niangniang?" After being confirmed by the queen mother, Yuzhang still couldn't believe it.

"Except for the Old Five Qi Kings, who else can make the Yin Concubine so crazy?" Sighing lightly, Empress Eldest Sun whispered: "Speaking of which, the sister of the Yin Concubine is also a poor person, for the sake of a rebel, she has forced herself into such a situation, what a sin." ”

Ping Suri saw that she had always been cold and indifferent to her son, and she was already dead to this son, half of which she didn't care, and she didn't want to be in her heart, she loved and cared about her son so much, and she didn't hesitate to take risks for the mistakes her son had made, and took her own life for nothing.

It's songly, pitiful, but it's not respectable.

For Concubine Yin's mother-son feelings, Queen Eldest Sun has pity, but Queen Eldest Sun is deeply hated for Concubine Yin's crazy actions.

Although Concubine Yin did this, the biggest beneficiary in the end would be the crown prince Qian'er, but the eldest grandson queen was not grateful at all, if the emperor died, and those important ministers in the court died, just with Qian'er's little talent, could he pick up the entire Tang Dynasty?

If not, what will happen to Datang at that time, what will happen to the thousands of people of Datang, wars and chaos, people will be lost, just for their own selfishness, her concubine will become a sinner of Datang through the ages.

“……”

Yu Zhang said silently, flesh and blood are connected, for the sake of her son, Concubine Yin would make such a mistake, although it is unexpected, but it is also understandable.

It's just that for the kind of person like the fifth brother, the concubine Niangniang, it's a pity.

"What do you mean by my father, the emperor, and his old man?" Cautiously looking up at Empress Changsun, Yu Zhang asked in a low voice.

"Up to now, this kind of thing is no longer up to your father," raised his hand and gently rubbed Yu Zhang's soft hair, and Empress Eldest Sun said softly: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple are all staring sideways, and the sister of Concubine Yin has no way to live." All your father can do now is to press the date of execution, and when the fifth child returns to the case in the future, he can let their mother and son see each other for the last time. ”

"Father and Emperor are merciful," thinking of the Yin Concubine Niangniang, who has always loved him, and there is no time to live, Yu Zhang's tears dripped from his eyes, hugged the arm of the eldest grandson queen, and begged loudly: "Queen Mother, the son wants to visit the Yin Concubine Niangniang." ”

"yes, it should be." Without opening her mouth to refuse, Empress Changsun nodded softly and said, "Concubine Yin is now imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, you can go and explore and accompany Concubine Yin to relieve her boredom." ”

"Well, thank you, Queen Mother!" Answering lightly, lifting a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, Princess Yuzhang got up and saluted the eldest grandson queen and slowly withdrew from the hall.

"This child, alas!" Lovingly watching Yu Zhang walk out of the palace gate, Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and sighed lightly, turned her head to look at Xiao Dezi on the side, and commanded softly: "Why hasn't the crown princess been here in the past few days, it makes the palace miss the eldest grandson a little." You will go to the East Palace, invite the crown princess and the eldest grandson of the emperor to come over, and enjoy lunch with the palace. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, the villain will go and please." Bending over to answer, Xiao Dezi got up and withdrew.

In the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion', the autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves are falling all over the ground.

Wu Yuanqing, the boss of the martial arts family who learned the information, ran from outside the palace and spoke bitterly to Wu Mei, persuading Wu Mei to change her mind sentence after sentence.

"Mei Niang, why are you doing this?"

personally handed Wu Meiduan a cup of hot tea, Wu Yuanqing said in a loud voice: "Good and dignified, what are you doing awkward with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Men, aren't they all the same, isn't it because of a woman? Even if you are jealous, you can't be so angry with the prince. ”

"What is this place?"

"The Imperial Palace!" Wu Yuanqing said to himself: "Who is His Royal Highness the Prince?" That's the future emperor, how can there only be one woman by the emperor's side? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, if you only have this little heart and become a queen in the future, how can you lead the harem? ”

"Listen to the words of the eldest brother, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, you will obediently admit your mistake to the prince, how can there be any overnight grudges? Haven't I and your sisters-in-law quarreled every day, have you ever seen them ignore them as brothers like you? Wu Yuanqing's tongue didn't stop for a moment: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous, and there is the eldest grandson of the emperor waiting there, so I won't worry too much about you." ”

"Admit your mistake, give in, won't this matter be over?" Wu Yuanqing spared no effort to persuade: "Besides, the emperor's eldest grandson is young, and he can't leave you as a mother, can you really bear to leave him to those palace maids to take care of?" ”

Knowing with reason, moving with affection, Wu Yuanqing said it wildly, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, Wu Mei has always been silent, allowing Wu Yuanqing to nagging there alone.

"Is the eldest brother afraid that because of the relationship between the younger sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will remove you and the second brother's current official position?" In the time when Wu Yuanqing drank tea and moistened her mouth, Wu Mei raised her eyes and glanced at her eldest brother, and said: "If this is the case, the eldest brother doesn't need to bother here, the prince is not the kind of person who goes back on his word, my matter, he will not be angry with you, you just put your heart in your stomach." ”

Not to mention anything else, even if the emperor's eldest grandson is standing there, Li Chengqian will not be too embarrassed by the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanqing.

"And," after a pause, Wu Mei muttered softly to herself, "If you really lose your official position because of this, it will not be a good thing. ”

"What are you talking about?" The voice was too small, Wu Yuanqing didn't hear it too clearly, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing," shook her head lightly, Wu Mei said lightly: "It's not too early, if the eldest brother has nothing else to do, let's go back first." This 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' is very quiet, I like it very much, and I don't want to leave for the time being. ”

"You girl, when did you become so stubborn that you didn't even listen to your eldest brother?" A girl who is very smart on weekdays, how can she get up to the tip of the horns now, Wu Yuanqing stood up from the chair, raised his hand and pointed at Wu Mei for a long time, and couldn't say a word again.

is not a mother's child, the relationship between their brothers and sisters has always been a little estranged, if it weren't for Wu Mei becoming the crown princess, their brother was able to take advantage of the situation to enter Chang'an as an official, Wu Yuanqing would not talk to Wu Mei so bitterly for a long time now.

If it was left in the past, this girl didn't listen to her own words, and according to Wu Yuanqing's little temper, she would have already fanned her ear melon seeds, where would she be a little girl who was inking here?

But now, although Wu Mei was beaten into the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' by the crown prince, no matter how people say it, they are also the crown princess, although they are brothers and sisters, but their status is completely different, even if they give Wu Yuanqing two guts, he doesn't dare to make another move.

"Listen to the little sister, the eldest brother should go back first, if you have nothing to do these days, don't keep walking around in this East Palace, so as not to be gossiped." Ignoring Wu Yuanqing's words, Wu Mei continued: "Go back and tell the second brother, stay at home these days, don't take care of anything, don't do anything, if it's really boring,"

Looking up at Wu Yuanqing, Wu Mei said: "In the past two days, the emperor will send troops to level the land, if the eldest brother and the second brother have the heart, you might as well ask for a go, the king of Qi is just a tiger made of paper, there is no need to be afraid, you will not be in any big danger." ”

"Okay, okay, I can't persuade you, but you persuaded the eldest brother." Seeing that Wu Mei was determined not to listen to persuasion, Wu Yuanqing waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "I will consider your words, but if you say anything, you also have to think about it." ”

"I know you're annoying, I don't like to listen to my big brother's chatter, and I won't annoy you here, so I'll go back first." Glancing at Wu Mei, Wu Yuanqing shook his head lightly, got up and tidied up his clothes, and walked straight out.

"Big brother walks slowly, a little tired, I won't send it." Nodding slightly, Wu Mei motioned to the girl ring beside her to take Wu Yuanqing out. While watching Wu Yuanqing go out, he inadvertently glanced at the spots of the bamboo forest in the courtyard, and the bamboo leaves were yellow, autumn and deep.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you broke in without a courtesy, and the villain was rude." In a trance, hearing someone shouting outside the door, Wu Mei raised her eyes and looked at it, and saw that it was the chief attendant beside Empress Changsun, so she whispered: "It turned out to be Xiao Dezi, this is 'Zhiqiu Pavilion', there are not so many rules, you just come in directly." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess." Hearing Wu Mei's response, Xiao Dezi responded lightly, and then stepped into the room in a regular manner.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who are you?" Seeing the simple furnishings in the house, there is only a table, three chairs, and a set of dilapidated tea sets, not to mention, how can such a noble person as the crown princess not even have a waiting palace maid around her, and even outside the courtyard, there is no inner guard who guards the door, which is too shabby.

In plain life, the crown princess is good to their subordinates, and now seeing that the crown princess is in such a situation, Xiao Dezi couldn't help but ask lightly.

"There were some minor awkwardness with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," smiled indifferently, Wu Mei shook her head lightly, and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past, so don't mention it again." It's Xiao Dezi, why did you come to this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' without anything? ”

"Oh, go back to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess," Hearing the Crown Princess's question, Xiao Dezi hurriedly straightened up and replied in a loud voice: "It's the Queen Mother, her old man, I think the Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, seeing that it was noon, the villain came over to invite the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess's Grandson to have dinner together." ”

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, the villain has already seen it, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is in this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion'," glanced up at Wu Mei cautiously, and Xiao Dezi continued: "The villain has been looking for it all the way." His Royal Highness is ready to prepare, so let's go to the Lizheng Palace with the villain, the queen is afraid that she is already in a hurry. ”

"There is Lao Mu's mother, her old man is worried about it, and there is also Lao Xiaodezi's hard work all the way," bent slightly and saluted in the direction of the Lizheng Palace, Wu Mei said softly: "However, Wu Mei is afraid that she is going to disappoint the queen mother." ”

"Without the permission of His Royal Highness the Prince, Wu Mei can't take this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' step, and I hope the queen mother can understand." Looking down at herself, Wu Mei continued: "Moreover, even if Wu Mei can come out of this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion', even if Wu Mei is dressed in this outfit, it is not easy to visit the queen mother." ”

In a word, Xiao Dezi understood the intentions of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and made trouble for a long time, just wanting to make herself a microphone and tell the queen the truth about the situation here.

Come to think of it, with the degree of love of the queen mother for the crown princess and the eldest grandson, she will not stand idly by and watch the princess suffer here and be separated from the mother and son of the eldest grandson.

In this case, the villain will retire first. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can rest assured that the villain will truthfully tell the Queen Mother about the situation here. Wei bowed to the crown princess, and Xiao Dezi didn't say anything more, just bowed down and slowly retreated.

is worthy of being a celebrity next to the queen, what a smart person, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Dezi with appreciation, Wu Meiwen nodded with a smile and said, "Then there is Lao Xiaodezi!" ”

"Your Majesty, since the situation is now clear, and the hidden dangers between the DPRK and China are not there, the matter of peace and harmony really cannot and should not be delayed any longer." In the imperial study, when Li Shimin convened several important ministers for a private meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in speaking: "The people are panicked, the army is unstable, and it has been delayed for a long time. ”

Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward again, and bent over to ask for instructions: "Weichen is willing to ask the emperor to immediately send troops to end this military disaster." ”

"Well," after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was silent, his face did not change in the slightest, and after glancing at the eldest grandson Wuji, he turned his head to look at the other ministers in the study: "The auxiliary machine has already said what he thinks, Xuanling, Zhijie, Jingde, Xuancheng, and Jingren, what is your opinion?" ”

Saying that, Li Shimin's eyes looked at Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Wei Zheng, and Cen Wenwen one by one, and asked their opinions softly.

"Back to the emperor," turning his head and looking around at everyone, Fang Xuanling was the first to get up and stand up, bowed to Li Shimin, and said: "Weichen agrees with Lord Changsun's suggestion that it is better to send troops to quell the chaos, sooner rather than later, and later it will change." ”

"The minister also seconded it!" Cen Wenwen was the second to stand up and said: "It is about the people's livelihood, the military prestige, the court, and the royal prestige. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Without superfluous words, Old Man Wei silently stood up to show his attitude.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The remaining Cheng and Wei Chi, seeing that these literati present all had the same meaning, glanced at each other, and both stood up at the same time, and surrendered their hands to fight: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to quell the chaos!" ”

"Well, well, I understand what you mean." Quite distressed and unbearable, he closed his eyes lightly, Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for a few people to retreat, and said: "Tomorrow morning, I should make a decision, and a few Aiqing should retreat first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several ministers in the study glanced at each other, knowing that the emperor couldn't bear the love of father and son, so they didn't say anything more, got up together, raised their sleeves, saluted and withdrew.

"Alas," seeing that they all retreated, Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl on the table and sighed: "Li Ran, tell me, this soldier, should I be out or not?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the villain is terrified and does not dare to discuss political affairs!" In a word, Li Ran's body was so frightened that he was trembling, like this kind of military affairs, how could he be a servant who could interject?

"Hehe, even if you don't say it, I also know," ignoring Li Ran's words, Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Yu Li, Yu Fa, Li You are all sins that cannot be forgiven, even if you kill him ten times, it is not an exaggeration." ”

"But, Yu Qing, after all, it is my own flesh and blood, in my heart, I am really a little unbearable, especially ......" Especially after experiencing the incident of the concubine last night, it was a long sigh, and the second half of the sentence Li Shimin did not say that it would come out.

Li Ran bowed upright, his face was solemn, and he dutifully guarded his duty, and did not dare to answer Li Shimin's words.

"Forget it, what should come is going to come, and when it comes to the end, you can't bear it in your heart, what can you do?" After a while, Li Shimin shook his head lightly, no longer bothered to think about it, turned his head to look at Li Ran, and said, "Liu Yiyi, how is it?" ”

"Go back to the emperor," Seeing that the emperor was asking about business, Li Ran's body, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed, and bent over and replied: "According to the emperor's orders, Mr. Liu was still living in the guard camp of the Lizheng Palace last night, and this morning, he went to the Qin Mansion with the feudal commander to see the doctor for the Duke of Yiguo." ”

"Well," took a sip of tea to calm down, and Li Shimin then asked, "How is the condition of the Duke of Yi Guogong now, is there any improvement?" ”

"After Mr. Liu's 'fog therapy' yesterday, Yi Guogong's complexion has improved a lot, and he has not had any symptoms of coma all day." Li Ran replied in a loud voice: "According to the decree of the Imperial Physician Ren, although the pulse of Yi Guogong is weak now, there is a trace of vitality in the weakness, and if it is properly recuperated, it should be a hope for recovery." ”

"What about Yanagichichi, what did he say?" Hearing Li Ran's reply, there was a meaning of avoiding the important and trivial, so Li Shimin opened his voice to inquire.

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Liu's words are a little strange," he looked up at Li Shimin carefully, and Li Ran replied softly: "Mr. Liu said that medicine does not kill diseases, Buddha is destined to be a person, and Yi Guogong's old man's tuberculosis may be cured, but Yi Guogong's body, he can't guarantee it." ”

"Huh?" The expression on Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and he said, "What does he mean by this?" ”

The villain didn't understand at the time, so he continued to ask Mr. Liu," Li Ran said: "I only heard Mr. Liu say that dead wood gives birth to insects, and insects can be removed, but dead wood is difficult to grow new branches." ”

"Huh?!" Shocked, the tea from the tea bowl in Li Shimin's hand splashed lightly.

Dead wood is rare in spring, when the oil is exhausted, how can the lamp not be extinguished? Qin Engong is really old.

"Also," Seeing the emperor's demeanor, Li Ran hurriedly finished finishing Liu Yiyi's words: "Mr. Liu said that it is a dead wood, and he can also keep it happy for two years and dry up." ”

"Two years of peace?" Hearing this, Li Shimin's face relaxed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "It's good to be happy for two years, it's better than Qin Engong being offended like now." ”

"Let Liu Yiyi let go and heal," his expression was a little clearer, and Li Shimin opened his voice and instructed Li Ran: "If you have any needs, try to meet them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Ran should have said yes.

"Luo Tong, did you come back quickly?" Thinking of Liu Yiyi's role, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his promise to Liu Yiyi: "People, but you have already received it?" ”

"The express report that just arrived this morning," Li Ran bent over and replied: "General Luo has already seen Liu Laoshi's family, and is now on the way back, and it is estimated that in five days, he will be able to arrive in Chang'an safely." ”

"Well," nodding slowly, Li Shimin took another sip of tea, and quietly tasted the first batch of new tea after the autumn, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Liu Yiyi's skills other than medical skills, raised his hand to stroke the lid and blew lightly, blowing away the tea foam in the bowl, and said lightly: "Send some more people to secretly guard Liu Yiyi's side, I don't want him to have any more trouble in Chang'an City." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" It is rare that the emperor would attach so much importance to a civilian cloth, and Li Ran couldn't help but admire Liu Yiyi in his heart.

"Well, okay, you go down first, let me be quiet for a while." Putting down the tea bowl, Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, and all the palace maids and attendants waiting in the study retreated, leaning on the chair alone, closing his eyes and recuperating.
