Chapter 16 - To each his own mind

Late at night, an uninvited guest came to Empress Yao's palace.

Yao Xing, the head of the household, was originally the younger brother of Empress Yao, and it was understandable that he came to visit his sister.

But he came aggressively this time, carrying a letter in his arms, shouting to see Empress Yao.

Jingqin and Qiu Mo didn't dare to stop them, so they had to call Queen Yao and go to the side hall to see her younger brother.

Empress Yao was angry in her heart, she looked like she hated iron but not steel, and looked at him with a cold face, "I can't hold my breath." ”

Yao Xingyuan hurriedly presented the letter to Queen Yao, "Weichen is guilty, the queen should take a look at this letter." ”

Empress Yao ordered Qiumo to take the letter, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a secret letter written by Prime Minister Wang Qitang to Chu Shizhao, the king of letters.

The letter vaguely mentioned that the first emperor had controlled Longbintian, and urged King Xin to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Where did you get this letter?" Empress Yao had a bad heart, and clenched the letter paper in her hand hard.

Yao Xingyuan hurriedly said: "It was given to me by Shi Yihuai Taifu himself." ”

Wang Qitang wrote a secret letter and handed it to his confidant, and asked the man to rush to the south overnight to hand over the letter to the king of letters, who was traveling.

But Shi Yihuai had already arranged for his subordinates to guard the back gate of Wang's mansion, and his subordinates followed the messenger of Wangfu all the way to the outside of the city to kill people and seize the letter.

Empress Yao's fingers suddenly loosened, and the letter paper slowly fell to the ground.

"In other words, even Shi Yihuai knows that the first emperor is gone?" She finally frowned, "How is this good?" ”

Yao Xingyuan finally straightened his back, "So my father urged me to come into the palace to find my sister to get an idea." ”

Although the Yao family, the Han family, the He family, and the Mo family are among the four major families in the capital, the Yao family is in an embarrassing situation compared with other families.

None of the children of the Yao family have become successful, and the Yao family has relied on the marriage of their children for generations to barely maintain the status of the family.

In the past few years, with the support of Queen Yao, Yao Xingyuan climbed to the position of the head of the household, but he was often sneered at by his colleagues.

Yao Xingyuan smiled flatteringly: "Niangniang, whether the Yao family can turn over or not depends on you." Weichen's ancestors thanked the whole family. ”

The Yao family was counting on it, and selected a child of the clan to succeed to the knees of Empress Yao, and announced that the first emperor would be established as the new monarch after his death.

In this way, the Yao family has a meritorious role in supporting the new emperor, and Empress Yao listens to the government, and the government is completely in the hands of the Yao family.

Empress Yao was upset, "As the head of the household, you hold on to the finances of the imperial court, don't stretch your hand on the money bag too long." ”

Yao Xingyuan smiled shyly: "That's, our father said, this time, hundreds of people in the Yao family are counting on their mother." ”

Empress Yao held back her anger and reprimanded: "The harem is the harem of the main palace, but this former palace can't be managed. ”

"You dignified seven-foot men, do you have to shrink behind your daughter's embroidered skirt all the time, waiting for a woman to take over the country for you?"

Yao Xingyuan was reprimanded so that his face was red and white for a while, he was like other men in the Yao family, he was afraid of women.

"Weichen knows that Weichen knows, and the affairs in the palace will be taken care of by the mother."

Empress Yao was distraught and waved his hand to make him stand back.

"By the way, my father asked Weichen to tell his mother that when he picks a child of the clan, he must pick someone who has not yet been enlightened, so that he can teach him in the future."

"The father of the childish son of the clan still has to pick a more down-and-out one, cutting off the possibility of his father and brother interfering in politics."

A thin layer of anger suddenly appeared on Empress Yao's face, "Why don't you get out of here?" ”

"Alas, they're all parasites, and they can't wait to knock out the bones and suck the marrow of this palace." Empress Yao sighed.

Qiu Mo stepped forward to beat her shoulder, "Niangniang, the Yao family's worries are also reasonable." Seeing this, the third princess was afraid that she had reached an agreement with the prime minister. ”

Mrs. Wang entered the palace to visit Chu Ning, and Wang Qitang pressured her to let Han Tang leave the palace, could it be a coincidence?

Empress Yao rubbed her temples with a faint pain, "Since she chose to support King Xin, there is no need to keep her." ”

In addition to King Xin, there is also Shi Yihuai and the emperor's eldest son Chu Xue who he supports to deal with, and she doesn't want to be troubled by Chu Ning at this time.

Qiu Mo replied softly: "Don't worry, the slave will arrange it." ”

Empress Yao slowly closed her eyes, "Well, do it cleanly." ”
