Purple micro star sinks.

The prophecy of the young national teacher Liu Tingchuan caused an uproar in the former harem.

Although Empress Yao temporarily hid the truth that day, she still had lingering palpitations.

"The ministers have seen with their own eyes that the emperor is still recovering from his injuries, and the prophecy of the young national master that day can be withdrawn, right?"

She knew that paper could not contain the fire, and the news that the emperor was dead would leak out sooner or later.

The Yao family is not ready to support the young emperor, and she must not lose the opportunity to let others take the throne.

What's more, the person who died was the emperor and her husband.

The person outside the curtain replied indifferently: "The destiny of heaven is hard to disobey, and I ask the mother to forgive me." ”

Mandate of Heaven?

This damn destiny made her the queen of the world, and it never gave her the pleasure that an ordinary woman deserves.

Empress Yao smiled coldly and said with a threat: "Really? But the palace also heard from the old national teacher that the secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

Liu Tingchuan replied: "Weichen is bold, the so-called fate has been decided, and it is not the words of Weichen's family that can be influenced." ”

Empress Yao vaguely remembered that on the night of the emperor's assassination, Liu Tingchuan appeared in the main hall.

The truth she tried to hide was already known to him.

It seems that she has nothing to hide in front of Liu Tingchuan.

"Young Guoshi," Empress Yao changed to a gentle tone, "The situation is unclear at this time, if this turmoil is not calmed down, there may be changes in the DPRK and China." ”

Liu Tingchuan bowed slightly at her and replied, "The only thing that remains unchanged is variables. ”

No matter how Empress Yao coerced and lured, Liu Tingchuan was always unwilling to come forward to quell the rumors.

For nearly 100 years, the monarchs of the Later Zhao Dynasty have believed in the gods.

Emperor Zhaoping of the previous dynasty also specially built a pure temple for Master Kurong for the national teacher to cultivate in the imperial city.

Just because Master Kurong has the ability to know the heavens and the earth, he has predicted major events in the court and China several times, and he has been exactly right every time.

And Liu Tingchuan is the only disciple of Master Kurong.

Because he was born with silver hair, and because he knew everything, the divination hexagram was even more effective, and he was regarded as a god by the whole country of Hou Zhao.

With such a person, Empress Yao naturally couldn't move.

She had no choice but to order someone to send Liu Tingchuan out politely.

As soon as the person left, Empress Yao's expression became cold, "If you can pinch like this, can't it be considered a rebel and a thief?" ”

Qiu Mo added a handful of spices to the incense burner, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Niangniang, do you remember fifteen years ago?" ”

Empress Yao closed her eyes and thought about it, was it fifteen years ago?

At that time, Liu Tingchuan seemed to be only seven years old.

Qiu Mo continued: "On the day the third princess was born, the concubine had a difficult birth, and the clouds in the palace covered the sun, do you still have an impression?" ”

"How could Hongu forget?"

On that day, Concubine Shu couldn't give birth to a child for a long time, and the emperor waited for several hours in a distraught.

There happened to be a cloud floating above Concubine Shu's bedroom, and the sun was completely obscured.

"At that time, it was obviously daytime, but the palace was the same as night, and the palace people were panicked and ran everywhere to tell each other."

Qiu Mo recalled the scene at that time, "Even if the emperor came, Qingyun was always pressed over the palace. ”

There were some rumors in the palace, and somehow it was spread that the mother was pregnant with a scourge, which was a warning from heaven.

Empress Yao immediately rushed to beg the emperor to issue a decree to dispose of Concubine Shu and the child in her womb.

Although the emperor doted on Concubine Shu very much, Empress Yao knew that her husband was weak and unassertive.

It just so happened that Master Ku Rong was in retreat, and as long as she insisted that Concubine Shu was pregnant with a demon, the emperor could only believe her if he heard anything else.

Empress Yao felt depressed when she thought of this, only to hear Qiu Mo sigh and say, "Who would have thought that the young national teacher ......"

As soon as the seven-year-old Shao Guoshi appeared, everyone begged the Shao Guoshi to convey the will of heaven as if they were grasping a life-saving straw.

The emperor also suppressed the will to dispose of the concubine, and only waited for the words of the young national teacher.

Liu Tingchuan only said one sentence at that time, and the emperor turned his worries into joy and pardoned the mother and daughter of the concubine on the spot.

"Qingluan is out, and the world is peaceful."

Chu Ning, fifteen years later, she became the shadow of Empress Yao in another form.

This time, she would never allow Liu Tingchuan to spoil her affairs again.

Empress Yao gritted her teeth slightly, turned her head to Qiu Mo and ordered, "You personally take a few imperial doctors to Qingjingguan." ”

"Be sure," she waved her hand distraughtly, "to heal Master Kurong to the main palace." ”

In the pure view, Liu Tingchuan sat in the pavilion in the backyard to divinate hexagrams.

The green willows outside the pavilion swayed in the wind, and the shadow of the willows fell on his silver hair and blue clothes.

It was slightly blown by the wind and slowly rippled like water waves.

The boy who served next to him gradually became obsessed.

Shao Guoshi is really as rumored to be, he is transformed by a white crane in the snow in the fairy mountain, right?

But Liu Tingchuan's slender eyes suddenly narrowed.

The boy quickly came back to his senses and followed his gaze to the hexagram on the stone table.

The hexagram is so dangerous that there is no way to live.

Liu Tingchuan pondered for a moment, and raised his hand to brush the hexagram into chaos.

The boy couldn't help but ask: "What is this hexagram just now, and there is no birth gate?" ”

"The door of life should come out of the door of death."

Rise from the ashes.

Before a stick of incense, Qiu Mo led several imperial doctors to come to consult Master Kurong.

The door of Guru's room was closed, and no one entered or left during the process.

I don't know what the results of those doctors were.

The amount of poison he gave to Master Kurong was extremely light, and even if he took the decoction to test for poison, it was difficult to detect it.

But over time, will those imperial doctors find signs of poisoning?

Liu Tingchuan walked outside the gazebo and raised his hand to gently caress the willow hanging from the tree.

His fingers were clean and slender, his skin was almost transparent, and his fingertips were soothing.

The boy stared at this scene, thinking in a trance that the young national teacher was combing the hair of the willow tree.

Liu Tingchuan lowered his head and thought about countermeasures, and his fingers slowly slid down the wicker.

The willow branch was about to run away from his fingers, when he suddenly closed his fingertips and pinched the willow tops.

With a twist of his fingertips, the willow tip broke and fell to the ground with a snap.

At this moment, the door of Master Kurong's room creaked open.

Qiu Mo was the first to walk out of the room, came to the courtyard, and smiled at Liu Tingchuan: "Young National Teacher, Old National Teacher wants to see you." ”

Several imperial physicians also left, and only Master Kurong and Liu Tingchuan were left in the room.

"Apprentice, come to the master."

The old man on the sickbed opened his eyes wide and reluctantly beckoned to him.

Liu Tingchuan walked over and, as usual, calmly tucked the quilt for the old man.

Master Kurong's cloudy eyes rolled and he sighed, "People are old and useless. ”

It turned out that Master Kurong refused to be diagnosed by the imperial physician for him, claiming that he had the will of heaven and could not be forced, and Qiu Mo could not persuade him.

"The sky outside has changed, and we, as national teachers, should conform to the will of heaven and choose the people chosen by the mandate of heaven to serve."

Master Ku Rong's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Can the apprentice understand the painstaking work of being a teacher?" ”

Liu Tingchuan replied: "Although the apprentice knows what is a good tree, he does not know how to teach this single tree to become a forest. ”

His point was clear: he did not have enough power to support the new Lord on the throne.

Master Ku Rong thought for a long time and said, "Master will hand over the intelligence agency of the capital to you today. ”

Liu Tingchuan slowly knelt down and said, "The apprentice will definitely live up to the master's trust." ”

That's what he wants.

The world thinks that the national teacher knows everything and knows everything, but who would have thought that it would be all operated by a secret intelligence agency?

As early as a few months ago, Qingjingguan received top-secret information, saying that the four princes wanted to rebel.

But Master Kurong did not remind the emperor, but stayed in retreat, wanting to wait for the dust to settle before following the new king.

As for who the new monarch was, Master Kurong didn't care.

But Liu Tingchuan wanted to help Chu Ning onto the dragon chair.

Before, he was restrained by Master Kurong, and he was constrained everywhere, and the eyeliner in the palace had a limited effect.

Now he finally has the eyes that overlook the capital and the tongue that inciting the crowd.

Overnight, rumors circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital about the heroine's world.

Even the drooping child knew that the third princess in the palace was changed by Qingluan from the clouds.

The yellow-haired old man also talked with relish about the prophecy he had made many years ago.

Qingluan is out, and the world is peaceful.

When Wang Qitang heard about it, he immediately rushed to King Xin's mansion, and found King Xin in a hurry and told him about it.

King Xin didn't think so, "Does Lord Wang think that this king's niece also wants to sit on this throne?" ”

Wang Qitang shook his head and said, "Something is abnormal!" In just one night, the rumors of 'Yunjian Luan' spread throughout the capital. ”

King Xin sneered, "How can this king remember, this matter has been spread since more than ten years ago. ”

The people of the capital are most fond of talking about these gods and strange rumors.

King Xin stopped Wang Qitang's question, "Aren't they still the young national teachers 'Snow Crane'?" ”

The rumors of the heroine's world are like wings, flying over several high walls inside and outside the imperial city.

Xiao Youzi told Chu Ning the rumors he had heard.

"My good master, it is said outside that the third princess was born from Qingluan in the sky and came down to earth by stepping on auspicious clouds."

Chu Ning listened with interest, "What else?" ”

When she was alive in her previous life, she didn't think about a few days of happiness, but after her death, she enjoyed all the grief.

With the respect of the founding empress, she has been praised by countless descendants, and she has heard enough nonsense about singing merits and virtues.

Sometimes, she can't help but wonder, are those people really talking about her?

Xiao Youzi continued with a fluttering eyebrow: "Some rumors are even more exaggerated, saying that there was a great drought in the world before the third princess was born. ”

Chu Ning took these words as a joke and said with a smile: "Is this palace a drought?" ”

"It's not!" Xiao Youzi hurriedly said, "As soon as the princess was born, it was a coincidence!" The rivers that have been dry for several years are gushing water. ”

Too old-fashioned, right?

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said, "Let's pick up some novelties." ”

"There are some even more bizarre rumors, saying that His Highness is the same as the gods in the sky."

Xiao Youzi covered his mouth and smiled, "Many palace maids and eunuchs who are not blessed to serve His Highness have stretched their necks to look into our palace." ”

Chu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and asked, "Is there anything to hope for, waiting to see when this palace will ascend?" ”

Xiao Youzi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is 'Yunjian Luan', and he could have flown in the first place. ”

Chu Ning was about to reach out to serve the tea, when he heard this, his hand shook, and he almost splashed the whole bowl of tea on his face.

Xiao Youzi added: "By the way, the young national teacher is still 'Snow Crane'." ”

The clouds are luan, and the cranes are in the snow.

Those who don't know it think that this palace is full of pretending to be high-level birds.

Chu Ning smiled helplessly and told Xiao Youzi to inquire about the news again.

Since she heard about it, then Queen Yao must have heard about it too.

As soon as the rumors of the heroine's world came out, the people who wanted to win her over before must have been jealous of her.

Rumors are going to kill, and she's been driven to a desperate situation by them.

"Who released the rumors," Chu Ning smiled bitterly, "Do you have to rush this palace to that dragon chair?" ”

Not only Empress Yao, but Taifu Shi Yihuai also heard the rumors of Empress Qingluan.

Shi Yihuai summoned the staff and trembled with anger, "The old man was tricked by this girl." ”

No wonder he asked Chu Ning to agree, and when he never supported King Xin, this girl agreed so readily.

It turned out that she was determined to become emperor herself.

The staff asked tentatively: "My lord, the third princess's mother's family has long since declined, and there is no one behind her to support her, how can she be the emperor?" ”

"Idiot!" Shi Yihuai glanced at the man angrily, "If there is no support, how can there be rumors about the heroine in the world?" ”

And the power behind Chu Ning should not be underestimated, so quickly pushed her to the forefront of public opinion.

Who still remembers the king of Xin, let alone the eldest son of the emperor who is far away in the Chen Kingdom.

He sneered: "It's good this time, everyone in the capital knows that the third princess is the chosen one." ”

"In the villain's humble opinion, those people who can't read big characters like these stories that are related to the gods and monsters."

The staff said: "They just want to be fresh, and after a few days they will forget it all, and they can't count." ”

Moreover, how did the people of cloth clothes influence the situation?

Shi Yihuai shook his head and said: "There are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, who can guarantee that no one will believe it?" ”

The staff hurriedly said: "As long as the eldest son of the emperor returns to Beijing, the wind in the capital will naturally tilt to our side." ”

"Then we have to try to get the eldest son of the emperor back to Beijing."

Shi Yihuai's face was gloomy, and he finally made that decision in his heart.

Since Hou Zhao was unwilling to take back the emperor's eldest son, he designed Chen Guo to send the emperor's eldest son back.

"Grinding ink, preparing paper." Shi Yihuai picked up a wolf's hair.

The staff hurriedly prepared a letterhead for him, "Do you want to write a letter to any adult in the court?" ”

"No," Shi Yiyin smiled ruthlessly, "The old man wants to reveal some news to Chen Guojun." ”

The news that Emperor Hou Zhao is dead.

Shi Yihuai's letter had not yet been sent, but Empress Yao received a letter of state from the Jingshuo Khanate in the north.

The letter of state said that the Khan would send an envoy to Beijing to negotiate border affairs with Emperor Houzhao.

Empress Yao held the national letter, and her heart couldn't stop sinking.

How can this be?

Empress Yao sent someone to call Yao Xingyuan into the palace and tell him about the envoy of the Jingshuo Khanate.

"This time!" Yao Xingyuan also had no idea, "The barbarians in the north are not easy to mess with. ”

The Jingshuo Khanate borders the northern border of Later Zhao, with a vast and sparsely populated environment and a bitter cold environment, but its military strength is strong.

Their cavalry often roamed the borders of the post-Showa Lantai Kingdom, plundering the supplies of the people on the border to make ends meet.

Chu Mingsi, the founding empress of Later Zhao, once waved his army north and drove them back to Mobei completely.

The Jingshuo Khanate also disappeared for more than ten years, but not long after Chu Mingsi's death, they quickly made a comeback.

The military strength of the original Zhaozhao was not bad, and the Jingshuo Khanate was still a little jealous of them.

However, Hou Zhao was poor and weak for many years, and the northern defense line was fragile, and the Jingshuo Khanate roamed the northern border as if it were no one.

This group of northern bandits is strong and mobile, and they quickly come back after driving them away.

A few years ago, the whole army of Hou Zhao went north to fight a decisive battle with them, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he had to compensate for a truce.

"If we refuse their request, and those northern barbarians attack them with great momentum, what will we do?"

Yao Xingyuan remembered to scratch her ears and cheeks, but Empress Yao barely held her breath, "Isn't there still General Han in the north?" ”

Yao Xingyuan scoffed and said, "How many people are there in the Han family? As soon as the hooves of the northern barbarians arrived, they were all trampled flat. ”

"In short," Empress Yao muttered, "they must not be allowed to come to the capital. ”

If the emperor had not received the envoys, the Jingshuo Khanate would have felt despised by it.

When the time comes, what if they use this as an excuse to start a war with Hou Zhao?

Empress Yao was in a hurry, and Chu Ning also learned the news from Liu Tingchuan.

She was so angry that she cursed in her heart, are these barbarians deceiving her?

In her previous life, she ordered her most powerful general to go north and drive all the cavalry of the Jingshuo Khanate back to Mobei in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, after she was reborn, the old enemy from her previous life came back and bullied her again.

Chu Ning muttered to himself, "I don't know if their strategy has changed." ”

Liu Tingchuan took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "Now, the Jingshuo Khanate has sent an envoy to visit, but Hou Zhao is in the country without a king. ”

"Internal and external troubles." Chu Ning answered, "First outside, then inside." ”

Liu Tingchuan sneered: "But those people in the court, their eyes are still staring at that dragon chair. ”

"When the Northern Barbarian comes, when he sees Houzhao falling into civil strife, the envoy will not be happy?"

Chu Ning said angrily: "It's the envoy who goes back this time, and the next time it's the Northern Iron Cavalry." ”

Her worries were also Han Tang's worries.

He heard about the Jingshuo Khanate from the guards who were on duty in the palace of Empress Yao.

The guard said, "When those Northern Barbarians come, they may laugh at us when they see that the Holy Lord is bedridden." ”

Another guard interjected: "I must say that our Houzhao is bloodless, and there are some sick seedlings everywhere." ”

They whispered and gossiped inconsequentially.

Han Tang clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand hard, desperately restraining the worry and anger in his heart.

A guard asked him, "Little Master Han, General Han will definitely be able to stop the Northern Barbarians from going south, right?" ”

Now his father, General Han Qiucheng, led an army to garrison the northern border, but it was difficult to support the long defense of the northern front.

Han Tang knew in his heart that his father and eldest brother must also be very clear.

But he couldn't tell anyone these words, so he forced a smile and said, "I haven't seen my father for many years." ”

The guards quickly put the threat of the Jingshuo Khanate behind them and shouted for a crowd to drink.

"I don't know ...... my father and my eldest brother are there."

Han Tang looked up to the north, and the towering palace walls blocked his gaze.

But if the smoke rises again, the palace wall will not be able to stop the wolf smoke in the north.

Empress Yao was distressed for most of the day, but the predicament in front of her was broken by Chu Sleeve.

"Niang Niang Mingjian, they want to send someone over, why don't we let them come?"

Chu Sleeve lived in the palace of Empress Yao, and when he learned about the Jingshuo Khanate, he couldn't help but run to Empress Yao to offer his courtesy.

Empress Yao sneered: "It's easy to say. When they come, we can't say for sure? ”

Chu Sleeve was ridiculed, but he smiled flatteringly: "Niangniang, the concubine is not like this." ”

Queen Yao didn't look over, no longer paid attention to her, and ordered Qiumo to beat her shoulder.

Chu Sleeve explained: "It's better for us to oppose the guest and take the initiative to send envoys to the Jingshuo Khanate. ”

"What are you going to do?"

The impatience in Empress Yao's voice was a little less.

Chu Sleeve smiled proudly: "Peace with the Jingshuo Khanate, and always cultivate the good of Qin and Jin." ”

Empress Yao pondered, "Harmony ......"

If an envoy was sent to escort the princess to the Jingshuo Khanate, they would be able to reject their intention to visit Hou Zhao at this time.

On the other hand, it can also strengthen the relationship between the two countries and avoid the recurrence of border wars.

Empress Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at Chu Sleeve with appreciation, "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Not only that," Chu Sleeve couldn't hide the pride in his heart, "This plan is intended to kill three birds with one stone." ”

Empress Yao looked at her with interest and motioned for her to continue.

A vicious chill appeared in Chu Sleeve's eyes, "The candidate for harmony, why don't you decide on the third sister?" ”

Chu Ning has been looking through the history books of the Later Zhao Dynasty in the past few days, and he has memorized the past events that happened in the surrounding countries of the Later Zhao Dynasty.

She was really curious, what did her descendants do?

They actually made the great rivers and mountains she left behind a thousand holes, and let the enemy country bully their own heads.

If she had the spear in her previous life, she would have to poke these unscrupulous descendants through it.

When Chu Ning was flipping through the history books, the eunuch in Empress Yao's palace came.

The eunuch announced that Chu Ning was chosen as the princess of Heqin and would be married to the Jingshuo Khanate in the near future.

Xiao Youzi and the others were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths and looked at Chu Ning blankly.

The eunuch said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness, Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

"Since it is a happy event," Chu Ning said calmly, "this palace will go to thank the queen mother." ”

She followed the eunuch to the palace of Empress Yao.

Jingqin saw that she was coming, and originally wanted to find an excuse to stop her.

Chu Ning took the initiative to smile and said, "This palace is here to find the queen's mother." ”

Jingqin had no choice but to let her in, and Chu Sleeve stood not far away, staring coldly at Chu Ning's back.

"Cheap hoof, wait to go north and be ridden by a horse!"

All the ministers gathered there, and Empress Yao told everyone about her plans to make peace.

The reaction of the crowd was mixed, but for a time no one objected.

Empress Yao said proudly: "For today's plan, harmony is the best policy, do you have any objections?" ”

Although Chu Ning is in the center of the whirlpool, she is just a political tool, and her life or death has nothing to do with anyone.

Everyone was silent, and Yao Xingyuan took the lead in praising the queen's virtue and wisdom.

"Since this is the case, the palace will start to prepare a dowry for the third princess, and send a messenger to escort the princess to the north on a certain day."

Empress Yao had made up her mind, and everyone present acquiesced.

She thought to herself, although Chu Ning couldn't get the jade seal as soon as she left, she couldn't get it, and no one else wanted to get it.

As long as this scourge is quickly removed, the Yao family's plan can still be carried out.

A smile rose at the corner of Empress Yao's lips, "If there is no objection, then please go back." ”

"Wait." The palace door suddenly opened, and a tall and slender figure stood against the light.

The smile on Empress Yao's face froze, "Is Ning'er here to thank you?" ”

Chu Ning stepped into the hall and said calmly: "Didn't the queen ask anyone who had objections before? ”

Yao Xingyuan hurriedly replied: "But no one has an opinion!" ”

"No," Chu Ning smiled coldly, "There are still objections from this palace. ”

Outside the door, another man's voice sounded, "This king has it too." ”
