Tomorrow is the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, and the emperor will go to Xianxi Palace to greet him on the day of the New Year.

The inner treasury was empty, and this matter troubled the orthodox emperor for half a year. If there is a year of great calamity, the Son of Heaven has been frugal and has shared the suffering with the people, but if there is no disaster today, and at the end of the year, there is no silver in his hand, how can he live this day?

The queen repeatedly mentioned in his ear the silver in the treasury of the Shang Palace Bureau, which seemed to have an unspoken meaning. He hadn't completely lost patience with the long days of stress, but he grew more and more disgusted with them. He felt that he should do something for the queen, and to be convenient with the queen is convenient for himself!

The Empress Dowager preempted Zhu Qiming before he spoke: "I heard that King Yue annihilated more than 1,000 enemies on the side of Xuanfu and forced back nearly 20,000 Tartar thieves, he is really a tiger that is enough to deter Tartar thieves!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly lost his mind. In the past, he would have been suspicious of Zhu Qiming's remarks that there would be a war between the Ming and Warat, but just last month, a Tatar leader who was also controlled by the first led a crowd to defect to the Ming Dynasty. The Orthodox Emperor was shocked to finally hear the true voice from the higher echelons of Warat, and his dreams of trying to maintain peace in the north were nearly shattered.

However, in the eyes of wishful thinking peace fantasists, since Tokhtar is unwilling to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, then there is still room for change in the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Warat!

People always believe in what they want to believe, so the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK and China adjusted the focus of "cutting off diplomatic relations" from making every effort to ensure that they would not be annoyed and first to secretly enveloping and getting rid of it. It is a kind of progress to be able to make such a strategic adjustment, but the world is impermanent, and how can we bet on others for peace?

If there is detachment and no dissuasion, peace can still be expected! This is the emperor's mind at the moment, he came back to his senses quietly, "King Yue lives up to my expectations, and his deeds are remarkable." But he and Yexian's younger brother Boyan Timur exchanged gifts, and the officials of the court and China criticized a lot about it! ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head disapprovingly, "Since ancient times, heroes have always been easy to attract slander, and the emperor naturally knows the truth of employing people, and he should have a fixed opinion in his heart." ”

The queen mother's words are suspected of interfering in politics, perhaps because she is asking the queen mother, but the emperor did not have much resistance.

In fact, the Empress Dowager's words have been said quite tactfully, the orthodox emperor is benevolent and vacillating by nature, and it is difficult for such a character to achieve the great cause of the emperor. For an emperor who is decisive in killing, it is enough to use people when they are not used, and they must be given enough room for trust; If you are suspicious, you will be in doubt, and if you are suspicious, you will use thunderbolt means to "not proliferate".

"My son understands." The emperor was very conceited, and he responded lightly, and wanted to quickly turn over the topic about Zhu Qiming, "Queen Mother, you have worked hard in the palace for so many years, and now there is no shortage of capable people in the six palaces, and you should also enjoy leisure." ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the emperor's words aroused the queen mother's sadness about the unforgiving years, and for a while, she couldn't help but feel lost.

It's really easy to grow old in life, and it's easy to pass away! In a blink of an eye, she is forty-five years old, and in a few years she will enter the age of knowing her fate.

The grievances and grievances of the past have long faded in her mind, and now her precautions against Concubine Wu's mother and son are not from old grievances, but from instinct! Except for this little thing that made her difficult to let go, she was very open to other things in the palace.

Of course, seeing it doesn't mean that she is confused, her eyes are much brighter than the young orthodox emperor!

"The mourning family is only in charge of a female official's treasury, and in addition, Pepsi is gone!" The queen mother naturally heard the emperor's words, she looked at her son quietly, her expression was indifferent, "Is it really impossible to live a tight life in the palace?" ”

The emperor smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's not that my son is not used to living a tight life, it's really because my son can't bear to see his mother still working on the trivial affairs of the harem, and the queen is in charge of all things in the harem, so she should share the worries of the queen mother." ”

Empress? That's not a lord who can keep money, and so is Concubine Zhou! The queen mother knows very well in her heart, internal and external troubles are getting worse and worse, at this time, if the silver from the female official's treasury enters the inner treasury, there will be nothing left in less than three months.

However, how can a queen mother become a stumbling block for the emperor? That's it, sooner or later, the queen will be in charge, it's better to let go as soon as possible, and settle down by yourself, if the queen is in charge, just come forward to mention it yourself! Thinking of this, she planned to follow the emperor's wishes, but for some reason, when she came to speak, she changed her tone: "Now that the New Year Festival has arrived, after everyone is lively for a few days, the mourning family will completely let go, just make fun of Sun." ”

The queen mother said this, and the emperor was naturally embarrassed to say anything more, so he quickly changed the topic and chatted with the queen mother.

······

The wind rises at the end of Qingping!

At the turn of the new year, rumors about the imminent change of ownership of the middle palace spread far and wide, and quickly spread throughout the harem, and some bold concubines and palace maids even gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the matter quietly.

Early in the morning of the New Year's Day, Yutang was ordered by the queen to make a special trip to Youlanxuan to send off the festival, and wanted to go back to Kunning Palace to restore his life.

Qin pointed to a large number of exquisite embroideries very patiently, and introduced them to Yutang one by one, and when Yutang finally picked up an embroidery with a peony pattern and admired it carefully, Juan'er's greeting sounded outside.

"Sister Green Calyx, I will go to Changning Palace with Concubine Qin to pay New Year's greetings to Concubine Zhou, and visit His Royal Highness the Prince by the way, but you came first."

"My sister is really, knowing that I was coming, she deliberately talked like this!" Green Calyx muttered, stepped into the main hall, and put a brocade box in his hand on the case, "This is given to Concubine Qin by Concubine Zhou." Then he grabbed Juan'er's hand.

Compared with the plum of the year, this green calyx is as good as the plum, relying on the master's power, not knowing how to avoid speaking, and the slave follows the master's nature, and acts very publicly.

"Did my sister hear about it? The middle palace is about to change hands! ”

Yutang in the inner room was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Juan'er in the main hall hurriedly dodged to the side, "You can't talk nonsense about such a thing!" ”

"No wind and no waves, I'm not talking nonsense." The green calyx raised his neck, "I heard it really, some people say that there are many things in the society right now, and there is a call for the crown prince to be crowned as soon as possible, and at this time, the crown prince is clearly the one who doesn't want to wait for Kunning Palace!" Sister might as well think about it, the canonization of the crown prince is a major event that affects the whole body, can the harem not follow the big changes? Some people in the palace are talking about it, saying that this matter will not drag on for too long, and when His Royal Highness the prince babbles, I am afraid that he will shout 'Queen Mother' to Concubine Zhou! ”

I saw that Yutang's face turned pale, and the embroidery on his hand fell to the ground with a snap.
