Chapter 68: In the Forbidden Palace

Seeing that the Queen Mother couldn't hold it back, she pulled up her long skirt and ran out, and a large group of people such as the Taishi were suddenly dumbfounded, is this still the dignified and stable mother of a country? However, since the master was so excited, and he said that he was also worried about the king in his heart, the Taishi and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they also picked up their clothes and ran out collectively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Bian was also a little surprised to see his mother running towards him regardless of her image, but thinking about it, even if he was rich and noble, his love for his biological son was the same, and in a trance, Zhou Bian felt that the corners of his eyes were moist, there was a mother who cared so much about himself and loved him, and he really didn't cross over in vain this time. In the blur of tears, getting closer and closer, finally a gray figure ran closer, two steps away and knelt on the ground, Zhou Bian couldn't stop his body, and pounced on it, only to feel that this embrace was very warm, so he couldn't hold back anymore, leaned his head on the other party's shoulder, and hugged the queen mother tightly.

When these two masters ran, no one dared to surpass them, so it wasn't until Zhou Bian threw himself into the arms of the Queen Mother that the Taishi Young Master and the others gasped and stopped behind the two, knelt down, and surrounded the two in the middle.

After a while, Zhou Bian felt that the body he was holding trembled slightly, and when he wanted to find out, he suddenly felt a wet shoulder, and he didn't have to think that the Queen Mother must be crying. Zhou Bian struggled to comfort his mother, but the queen mother hugged her tightly, and the force was so great that Zhou Bian smiled bitterly, so she had to hug her mother again, quietly feeling this strong maternal love, and gently patting the queen mother's back with her hand, hoping that this would make the queen mother feel better.

Although there was a large group of courtiers and escort warriors around, no one disturbed at this time, and only the sobbing sound of the Queen Mother was heard on the quiet south bank of Luoshui, which was high and low, and it stopped for a while. After the crying stopped, Zhou Bian only felt that the Queen Mother let go of himself, so he looked carefully in front of him, and saw that the Queen Mother was pulling her sleeves and gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The Queen Mother is also a person who does not procrastinate, after wiping away her tears a few times, she held Zhou Bian's shoulders with both hands, looked at Wang Er who had been thinking hard for several days from top to bottom, from left to right, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "How is Wang Er's body, but is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

was hugged tightly by the queen mother, and Zhou Bian didn't breathe for a long time, so he had to swallow his saliva, knelt down on his knees and said, "The queen mother is not filial, so the queen mother is worried!" Wang Er is well now, and the queen mother hasn't seen Wang Er run away for so long. Saying that, Zhou Bian also tried to squeeze out a flattering smile, whether it was to adapt to the main theme of filial piety in this era, or to be truly moved by this mother's love, Zhou Bian had to work hard to make a gesture.

Sure enough, the son's smile was the greatest comfort to the mother, and the queen mother's expression eased a lot, and she still looked Wang Er up and down carefully, just like any ordinary mother, who was still not at ease after her son recovered from his illness.

Seeing that there were already a trace of wrinkles on the Queen Mother's beautiful face, and the usual godly eyes were full of bloodshots, although she didn't speak, but the eyes that were rolling around and her lips trembling slightly still showed the strong maternal love in the shape, Zhou Bian couldn't help but stand up again, turned around and jumped twice, and said while jumping, "Queen Mother, look, Wang Er is really good, you see that this jump is so high." ”

Seeing Wang Er's naughty but so sensible, the Queen Mother finally smiled, "You kid, I don't know what to say about you, don't go out like this in the future, Wang Er is sick, and my heart hurts even more after my mother." ”

"It's okay, Wang Er is fine." Zhou Bian couldn't help but pounce on the Queen Mother and said coquettishly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that all the ministers and guards around him were bowing their heads, but fortunately no one saw it.

After hugging for a while, the Queen Mother seemed to have regained her composure, took Zhou Bian's hand and stood up, and said sharply, "Where is the white eunuch?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a gray-robed man behind the king crawl forward two steps, kowtowed, and said, "The slave is here." ”

"This palace ordered you to tell the palace how the king was sick, how you reacted, and how to go down the mountain to heal, and give this palace a detailed explanation," Although there are guards reports every day, the queen mother obviously trusts the people around her more.

This white eunuch can mix in front of the queen mother, and he is naturally a clever person, coughing lightly, he opened his mouth to say that the wind in the mountain was strong, the king suddenly felt dizzy, fainted on the grass hall, how panicked the scene was, and how Wang Sunjian and Liu Yun braved the rain and darkness to go down the mountain, and lost a few soldiers, etc., all in detail, everyone was embarrassed, even if it was experienced by Zhou Mi Fan Yu and others, and everyone else saw that the king was now standing safely in front of everyone, all of them were afraid and frightened, and Zhou Mi Fan Yu and others were in a cold sweat.

After a long time of speaking, the white eunuch closed his mouth, carefully prostrate on the ground again, and only after a long time did he hear the queen mother sigh, and said leisurely, "Wang Er has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has been lying in bed for a long time last year, and it has only been a few months, and the queen mother's heart hurts!" Wang'er, the queen mother doesn't want my Great Zhou royal family to revive now, as long as you live this life peacefully, the queen mother will be content, does Wang Er understand? The Queen Mother's tone was unusually firm, she used to be sick and lying in bed when she was still a prince, but now she only has this biological son left, and the Queen Mother naturally values it a lot.

Knowing that the Queen Mother would say this, although he had already made a decision in his heart, Zhou Bian was not in a hurry to argue, but took the Queen Mother's hand and gently pulled it away, and saw that the Queen Mother's hands couldn't help but be calloused, and there were white marks, which were obviously caused by spinning. The Queen Mother was embarrassed to withdraw her hand, but was pulled by Zhou Bian, only to hear Zhou Bian look up at the Queen Mother and say, "The queen mother is the mother of the world, but she works so hard, how can this make the child feel at ease, how can she not want to make a difference." ”

"In this case, the queen mother will no longer spin threads, and there is an industry sorted out by the king, and our royal family has enough of it."

"That's still not enough, Queen Mother, what if other countries want to bully us?" Saying that, Zhou Bian shook his head.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's face became stern, and she said sharply, "Is my royal family the only one in the Great Zhou royal family?" Taishi, young master, young master, Sima, all of them are adults, you eat the king's Lu, if you can't share the worries for the king, then what use do you need? ”

This time, he said it more ruthlessly, and the panicked ministers couldn't help kowtowing, and there was a shout in all directions, "It's the uselessness of the courtiers, which makes the king worried, and the ministers are waiting for the death penalty." Shocked that the birds in the trees in the distance were flying inexplicably, Zhou Bian couldn't help but smack his lips, after all, the queen mother is still in the upper position for a long time, and the momentum of what she said is different, and it is worth learning from herself.

Fortunately, there is grass on the banks of this Luoshui, and it doesn't hurt to hit her head on the ground, so the Queen Mother looked at it coldly for a while before she spoke out and asked everyone to stop. I heard the Queen Mother continue to speak, "Master Taishi, this palace is the Queen Mother, but I don't know what the word Queen Mother means, I hope the Queen Mother will teach me." ”

I don't know why the Queen Mother asked about this, the Taishi raised her head and was stunned and replied honestly, "Back to the Queen Mother, the latter is behind the emperor, the lord of the palace, the Tai, which means that the throne is respected by the current king, so the queen mother refers to the wife of the previous king, the mother of the current king, and is extremely in the world." ”

"Then as the queen mother, can this palace discipline the king?" The Queen Mother then asked. Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

The Taishi no longer hesitated, and nodded vigorously, "The Queen Mother can naturally discipline the king." "Anyway, this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and besides, it is natural for the mother to control her son, so the Taishi is also happy to obey.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Zhou Bian again, and saw that Zhou Bian's hair stood on end all over her body, only to hear the Queen Mother say in an unquestionable tone, "The king is young now, it is really not easy to go out, and he has been staying in the palace until he is an adult, don't go out of the palace again." ”

This is a disguised captivity, Zhou Bian, who was deeply influenced by the conspiracy theories of later generations, first thought of usurping power, but it is unlikely to think about it again, this royal family has no power at all, but no matter what, it is not good to be locked up in the palace, especially now that the economy and military are gradually on the road, how can he nest in the palace, so Zhou Bian immediately put on a pitiful look and pulled the sleeve of the queen mother and begged.

Unexpectedly, since the Queen Mother said the words, it could not be changed, and the Queen Mother ruthlessly waved her sleeves and turned away. Zhou Bian is in a hurry, the man of the Zhou Dynasty is fifteen years old, there are still six years, how many things will be delayed, the anxiety is on his face, Zhou Bian's legs are weak, and he has to kneel. But at this moment, his body was supported by a person behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the young master, and he only heard the young master say softly, "The king doesn't have to worry, the queen mother only said that the king can't leave the palace, but she didn't say that the ministers can't enter the palace. ”

Zhou Bian thought about it, and suddenly felt better in his heart. The Queen Mother turned her head again at this time, and just saw Zhou Bian's eager gaze, so she had to turn her head to look at the young master again, glared at her fiercely, and said, "It's all you ministers who are used to the king." Let's go, your king shouldn't stay outside all the time, let's drive back to the palace. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother walking towards the river, Zhou Bian hurriedly followed closely behind him, at this time Zhou Bian couldn't help but think of the many young emperors in history, how could he not be the same as them, how much was at the mercy of the queen mother, he used to be able to let go of many things, but the queen mother did not speak, and now he is seriously ill obviously touching the bottom line of the queen mother, it seems that he has to be careful in the future, otherwise even if he can command remotely in the palace, then he has to sit down by himself.

A cadre of ministers' guards hurriedly followed behind, and soon arrived at the river, naturally there were boats waiting, these were also the boats that crossed the river when Zhou Bian led his team south some time ago, and a boat could only seat about a dozen people. The Queen Mother habitually took Zhou Bian's hand and was about to get on the boat, and the boatman on the shore hurriedly pulled the rope tightly, for fear that the boat would shake and alarm the two most powerful people in the royal family. Unexpectedly, just as the Queen Mother stepped forward, a voice hurriedly sounded behind her, "Queen Mother, please stay." ”

Everyone looked back and saw that it was the Taishi, only to see the Taishi trotting forward a few steps, bowing down and saying, "The Queen Mother forgives the sins, according to the ancestral system, people with noble status in the royal family are not allowed to cross in the same boat." ”
