Originally, Empress Jia thought that she had a beautiful wishful thinking, thinking that Queen Jia would not be able to conceive Emperor Xuanhe's child no matter what method she used, and seeing that the other concubines were pregnant with children, she tried every means to make them abort or find someone to secretly kill the baby who was still in swaddling clothes after giving birth, so in the end, after she gave birth to Xiong Xie, when Xiong Xie grew into a seven-year-old child, her intelligence was still as ignorant as a two- or three-year-old child. She was a thief when she wrote "Fun" www.biquge.info, and she always felt that it was because she had done too much evil, and those princes who died came to take revenge on the little prince and took away his soul. Emperor Xuanhe also sighed several times that his only son turned out to be an intellectually defective child, and he faintly wanted to succeed one of the prince's heirs as a prince.

Empress Jia was still worried about this matter, but now it seems that she is too worried, Emperor Xuanhe's death is not clear, and he didn't even leave an edict, so the little prince is logical to become the monarch of Southern Chu.

Unexpectedly, I didn't feel happy for long, and in the morning, I heard the news from the little eunuch who was placed in the Xuanhe Hall that Zhang Rang took out the edict of Emperor Xuanhe before his death, and wanted to pass the throne to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Queen Jia couldn't accept it all of a sudden and fainted. It was still the little eunuch Gao Lishi beside her, who held her down, and fed her a few sips of tea before she woke up.

Empress Jia, who woke up, cried and mourned her face even more sad than when she died Emperor Xuanhe before, "What can I do now, if Xiang Yu really becomes the emperor, then wouldn't our family Xie'er be a thorn in his eye and have to be killed, and it seems that I, as the queen, will not escape." ”

Gao Lishi comforted: "Don't be too sad for the queen mother, maybe this Yu has a benevolent heart and will treat the little prince and the mother well?" ”

"I usually see you very clever, why did you become so confused at this time. Have you ever seen a man who became an emperor and didn't leave anyone alone around him? Even the first emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty stepped on the corpses of his brothers and became emperors, and recently, Emperor Wuyue was so good to him, he had to unite with the other six kings to plot a rebellion. Now that our mother and mother are even more lonely, I think it is better to escape from the palace now. You go and bring Xie'er over, and we'll pack up our things and leave the palace." Empress Jia thought of what Xiang Yu would do after becoming the emperor, and she was so frightened that she immediately prepared to flee.

Gao Lishi persuaded her to be restless and not impatient, it was useless to wait and talk about it first, so she had no choice but to bring the little prince over, and while Queen Jia was cleaning up, he ran back to Xuanhe Hall to continue eavesdropping on the ministers' speeches.

This heard that he knew that Xiang Yu really had no intention of being the emperor, on the contrary, he wanted to give up the throne to the little prince Xiong Xie, and personally assisted the young master. When Gao Lishi heard such important news, he hurried back to tell Empress Jia that at this time, Empress Jia was packing up her things and looking for Gao Lishi everywhere to escape with him.

Seeing that Gao Lishi only appeared at this time, he scolded: "You slave wolf-hearted, I really want to take you out together, but you want to deliberately avoid me, why do you want to come back now." ”

Gao Lishi knelt there and cried: "The queen mother is wronged, how can the little one who is loyal to the mother leave the mother to live alone at this critical moment, I just went to the Xuanhe Hall to find out what Xiang Yu is going to do next?" I'm here to say hello to my mother! ”

Empress Jia saw that Gao Lishi said that she was happy, and knew that although he was young, he was still loyal and honest, and never lied to herself, so she simply dragged the little prince to her side and sat on the recliner and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Gao Lishi said that Xiang Yu, who he heard in the Xuanhe Palace, was going to give up the throne and give up the throne to the seven-year-old little prince Xiong Xie, and he would personally assist him and teach him. As soon as these words came out, Queen Jia immediately jumped up from the recliner excitedly, and almost threw out Xiong Xie who was holding in her arms.

"What you said is true?"

"Everything I said is true, I just heard it in the Xuanhe Temple. Queen Mother, oh no, now I should call you the Queen Mother, congratulations to the mother. "This Gao Lishi is Zhang Rang's cronies on the one hand, and he is also a eunuch who is responsible for the affairs of Empress Jia's palace, he is now good on both sides, and now the little prince is going to ascend the throne as the emperor, Zhang Rang is also excluded by Xiang Yu, isn't that his opportunity to come? So when Zhang Rang asked him to thoroughly investigate the people and things that Xiang Yu had seen recently, he had already made a small calculation in his heart.

Gao Lishi offered advice to Empress Jia: "Queen Mother, the little one has just seen clearly in the Xuanhe Palace, as long as the overlord of Western Chu speaks, the officials below are silent, and no one dares to refute his opinion, which shows that his status in the court is now very high." After the little emperor ascends the throne, he must not have a discord with Xiang Yu, not only that, I think the queen can think of a way to hook Xiang Yu all the time, so that he can assist the little emperor with all his heart. ”

Empress Jia is a woman with water-based poplars, and it is often rumored in the harem that she secretly had a private meeting with the ministers who thought about it when Emperor Xuanhe spent the night in the carpentry room. Now she listened to Gao Lishi's reminder, and remembered that the palace maids who had been to the emperor and had seen Xiang Yu had said that Xiang Yu was very talented, tall and very burly, and even some ministers who had a private meeting with her turned pale when they heard Xiang Yu's name, such a heroic man was exactly what she longed for.

On the surface, she blushed and made a gesture to slap Gao Lishi's mouth, blaming him for being presumptuous, but in fact, she was itching in her heart behind her back, and she was ready to hook up with Xiang Yu tomorrow. On the other side, in Qu Mansion, Qu Zong also told his father what happened in the court today and what Xiang Yu did, Qu Heng put down the chess game he was reading in his hand and took a long breath, "My father is getting more and more unable to see through Xiang Yu." ”

"Yes, father, do you say that he Xiang Yu really wants to assist the little prince in reviving Southern Chu?"

Qu Heng shook his head, "I don't know very well, from the few conversations he had with me when he came to our Qu Mansion before, I don't think this person is a person who is satisfied with the status quo, even if he is now under one person and ten thousand people, this is far from the result he wants." ”

"Father, are you saying that he still wants to be the emperor, so today's such a good opportunity, even Emperor Xuanhe's edict has been taken out, why is he still trying his best to resign."

Qu Heng stroked his goatee, "I don't understand this either, the only thing that can be explained is that he wants to sit on the throne more securely and does not want someone to say anything to him and affect his authority in the future." And Zong'er, you have to be careful, tomorrow Xiang Yu will definitely promote you to an official, try every means to win you over, and when the time comes, he must resign his appointment as a last resort, he is not going to push you up but to push you to the fire pit and become a pawn in his power struggle. ”
