Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Enigmatic Truth

Suffering and extraordinary encounters are the best teachers in life, after experiencing last night's life and death catastrophe and Fang Cai's frightening moment, Zhu Qiyue's psychological childishness has taken off a point, and his restless mood has gradually dissipated at this moment.

Looking around, there was no trace of the red knotweed, and the Empress Dowager was slowly walking from the inner room.

"You've come just in time." The Empress Dowager sat down calmly, and the complexion on her face was much better than when she talked about Princess Shunde's marriage. "You don't have to send someone to the Yue Palace's mansion to inspect your studies this month, and the imperial grandmother will test you in person."

If he returned to the moment when he broke into the main hall, Zhu Qiyue would definitely take the lead in asking questions before the imperial grandmother's questioning, and hurriedly expressed his doubts about the assassin case in his heart. At present, he is a little calmer, and he has the patience to wait for the emperor's grandmother's next words.

"Lu Xi is a rigorous person and knowledgeable, but he is too disciplined, and it is difficult to have a good strategy for governing the country!" The Empress Dowager pondered intently, but the meaning was off-topic.

Mr. Lu's interpretation is very exquisite, and Qi Yue has benefited a lot. As for applying what he has learned, that is Qi Yue's own business, and others can't teach it. ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up slightly, "Apply what you have learned?" It is said that it is advisable to look at the present and learn from the past, have you read today's Warat from the history books? ”

Since the day the martial artist Liang Gang came to the door, stories from the north began to come to his ears one after another, and he also carefully pondered the troubles of the ancient Hulu against the historical books, so he was full of confidence in his heart.

"When Song and Jin attacked Liao together, they sent away Liao, a vicious neighbor, but ushered in Jin, a more fierce enemy, so that the two emperors were taken captive and rushed south. Now, if I sit back and watch Warat annex Tatar, Warat will become a great trouble for Daming in the future, no less than the trouble of Jin! When the three-legged stand is strong, help the weak and suppress the strong, so as to win the right way to win for checks and balances! Zhu Qiyue was calm, and the look on his face was no different from that of an adult.

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and her eyes showed excitement. "At such a young age, it is really not easy to have this knowledge!"

Over the past year, the Empress Dowager has sent people to the Yue Palace, Zhu Qiyue's studies, Zhu Qiyue has been looking forward to the praise of the emperor's grandmother for a long time.

The Empress Dowager only meditated, not paying attention to his expression. "Most of the chaos of later generations can be found from the ancients to learn from the precedents, but sadly, the later generations are always forgetful, self-inflicted, lucky, thinking that the things of today will be different from the past, so the repetition of the mistakes of the past abounds! Just like Du Mu said, 'future generations mourn but do not learn from it, and make future generations mourn future generations'. ”

Raising his eyes and seeing Zhu Qiyue's blank expression, his face suddenly sank slightly, and his words changed: "Have you heard the story of Shencong?" ”

Zhu Qiyue quickly filtered the massive information in his brain, he didn't read "Warring States Policy", but he heard the story of Ying Hou Fan Sui told by Daoist Qingsong. "I am very strict in the law, and no one can take advantage of the power of the Son of Heaven. And today, the son is not yet in power, but with the wings of the emperor's grandmother, the artifact of the country will definitely not be faked! ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, "Fan Sui is mistaken, the god of the gods does not refer to the power of the Son of Heaven, but to the long-term strategy of the country!" If the people's hearts are scattered and the DPRK lacks the opinions that can be convincing to everyone, the society will be in danger! Now the imperial grandmother can barely survive for some time, but what about ten or twenty years from now? ”

Isn't the Son of Heaven an adult after ten or twenty years, why should the imperial grandmother ask more? Zhu Qiyue hesitated and couldn't answer.

"Are you all thinking about the assassination at the moment?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhu Qiyue sternly and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Qiyue was shocked, and blurted out: "Sun Er is puzzled, why did the assassin go straight to the Forbidden City last night?" ”

The Empress Dowager was shocked again when she heard this, but this shock was obviously different from the previous one, and she saw her face turn cold, and she said sharply: "For the royal family, the Son of Heaven can be suspicious, and the imperial grandmother can be suspicious, but others must not be suspicious!" Even if it is the imperial grandmother, if there is no ironclad evidence, she can't suspect that someone in the royal family has done evil, otherwise, if one person is suspicious, others will be able to figure out a few points, and the earth will shake! ”

Zhu Qiyue's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Sun Er understands, Sun Er is just suspicious that there are assassins' accomplices in the Forbidden City. ”

The Empress Dowager was silent when she heard this, as if her mind was walking through the fog at this moment. "Get up. The affairs in the Forbidden City must be decided by the emperor in the end, and the guards, chamberlains, and palace maids have all been openly and secretly visited, what else can be done? ”

What else? If the place where the assassin appeared last night was on the side of the Son of Heaven, then I am afraid that the Forbidden City would have been turned upside down, and even countless heads would fall to the ground! Although he doesn't want to harm the innocent, but he escaped death once, and after being used by the ministers to play the question, he should always give a serious answer, right?

Is it so difficult to find out the truth!

"My grandson is still puzzled, why did the assassin go straight to the Forbidden City?" Zhu Qiyue had an unprecedented stubbornness on his face, thinking that in this scheming Forbidden City, he could only be a pawn with the imperial grandmother, and he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

The Empress Dowager's face was like frost, the cold in her eyes became more and more intense, and the thunderous anger was about to erupt.

Suddenly, Princess Shunde and Princess Changde both appeared from the side, kneeling on the ground with a disgraced face, "Please let the imperial grandmother calm her anger and ask the imperial grandmother to make the decision for Qi Yue!" ”

The Empress Dowager got up and said, "You children ・・・・・・" Halfway through her words, she turned away in frustration.

Zhu Qiyue secretly glanced at the back of the imperial grandmother, and when he saw that she was so angry, he couldn't bear it, and sobbed in a low voice: "My grandson is not sensible, please calm my anger and take care of my body." ”

When the Empress Dowager turned around, tears appeared in her eyes. "The imperial grandmother, like others, is also making a fuss about your experience, you think that the imperial grandmother is feeling good in her heart! After this turmoil, the former dynasty and the harem will stop for a few years, don't underestimate these years, it is enough for the son of heaven to become an adult, and it is enough for you to become a talent! Well, this should not have been said to you children, alas・・・・・・"

"The grandson will never dare to complain about the emperor's grandmother!" Only then did Zhu Qiyue realize that last night's imperial grandmother's bold words of "fixing the storm" had far-reaching implications, and he was reckless for a while, which actually caused the exhausted imperial grandmother to suffer another spiritual torment, and suddenly felt that although he was a little smart, he was still less than anything else.

However, the suspicion of the assassination was so strong that it lingered, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Princess Changde hesitated for a while, and said, "The imperial grandmother doesn't have to be angry, how can Qi Yue complain about the imperial grandmother?" It's just that the truth is not clear, the hidden dangers have not been eliminated, don't say Qi Yue, even Tong'er is deeply disturbed. ”

"Yes, Yu'er is also a little worried." Princess Shunde echoed.

The Empress Dowager looked a little gloomy, "Now there is no trace to follow, so how easy is it to investigate the case inside and outside the Forbidden City?" Pull a hair and move the whole body! The imperial grandmother has her own measure, so you don't need to talk too much. Suddenly, his eyes froze, as if he was caught in a repeated swaying entanglement. After a long time, he turned his head and shouted out of the door: "Feng Duo! ”

Feng Duo entered.

"Qi Yue is a person who practices martial arts, don't stay here and practice by mistake, you go to see Xu Gong secretly, and escort Qi Yue back to the Yue Palace" in brocade clothes after dinner."

After Feng Duo left, the Empress Dowager looked at Zhu Qiyue, and her expression became even more lonely. "It's still easy to go back to the Yue Wangfu, and after you go back, stay in the mansion honestly, and you don't have to get involved in the outside world!"

With a stomach full of regret and a little guilt, Zhu Qiyue nodded.

It's okay, if you can't wait for the truth here, it will only increase your sadness, in this case, it's better to go back early!
