The Queen Mother did not see him in the meditation room this time, since the beginning of winter last year, her body has been worse day by day, and she has long been unable to recite Zen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Eunuch Qiu entered the warm pavilion in the West Chamber and reported, and soon lifted the door curtain and said, "The prince comes in, the queen mother is invited." ”

Qin Lei straightened his clothes, walked into the warm pavilion quickly, kowtowed to the imperial grandmother respectfully, and listened to her kindly say: "Get up and let grandma take a look." Then he straightened up and looked at the Queen Mother who was lying in an easy chair. I saw that the old man's face was thin, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were cloudy, and there were a lot of age spots on his face, which was indeed old.

Qin Lei only felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't help but say astringently: "Grandma, why do you age so fast?" "Perhaps except for Mrs. Shen, this old woman is the best elder in the world to him, although this love is mixed with some purposes, but love is love, and it should still be grateful.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand with difficulty, and Qin Lei hurriedly leaned over and let the Empress Dowager's cold palm touch his face.

The old woman looked at her grandson lovingly, and said in a cheerful voice, "Good boy, he is an adult at all." ”

Qin Lei smiled vigorously: "My grandson is about to become a father, of course he is an adult." ”

Wen Zhuang nodded slowly and said, "I know, it's you who is that girl, and I'll bring it over to show my grandmother when the full moon comes out." Qin Lei smiled: "That's nature, children won't forget it." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and rested her hand on the back of Qin Lei's hand, and muttered, "Yutian is going to be a father, and of course grandma is about to go into the ground." ”

"Grandma, don't say something frustrating," Qin Leiqiang smiled: "You're just not feeling good for a while, don't think nonsense, just spend the summer." ”

"Whose body knows." Shaking her head slightly, the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said softly: "Grandma has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, the reason why she has been holding on to her eyes is that there are still a few things that have not been completed, and I can't keep my eyes open...... "Yutian, do you blame me for not leaving you the throne?" ”

The abruptness of this question caught Qin Lei off guard and said, "What did you say, the second brother is the crown prince chosen by you and your father, and this throne should have been his." ”

"It was supposed to be yours." Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said in a deep voice: "It's yours after all." He gestured to the pillow on the bed opposite. Eunuch Qiu nodded knowingly, then turned over the pillow, twisted the satin with scissors, took out a delicate scroll of holy decrees from it, and respectfully handed it to Qin Lei.

"Open it and take a look." Seeing Qin Lei looking at him suspiciously, the old woman smiled slightly: "This is what your second brother gave you." ”

Qin Lei took the holy decree and opened it, and couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually the edict of Emperor Tianyou who appointed him as the emperor's younger brother. Before he could recover from the shock, he heard the Empress Dowager whisper: "This edict has been filed in the cabinet, and it will be announced to the world on an auspicious day." ”

"Why?" Qin Lei frowned and said, "Why did the second brother do this? ”

"I didn't ask him why, but I agree with him doing so." Wen Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Your second brother is a smart person, especially after some things, he is even more like a mirror. He muttered faintly: "I also think that it is the wisest choice for him to do this, and it can also make your reputation through the ages." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Qin Lei, and said in a deep voice: "His health is very bad, you don't have to worry about waiting too long." ”

Hearing what the old queen mother said so bluntly, Qin Lei's face burned like fire, and he said: "Grandma, don't think of your grandson so shamelessly. ”

The old queen mother looked at Qin Lei fixedly, and suddenly laughed and said, "Little Qianmi, I don't know you yet?" Saying that, he shook his head and said: "Don't let you kill each other, it's ***'s first wish, you may help me fulfill it?" ”

Glancing at the holy decree in his hand, Qin Lei pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "Grandson will start and finish well with the second brother." ”

The old queen mother nodded, leaned back in the chair to rest for a while, and then said slowly: "Second, it is the ancestral foundation of my Qin family. He patted Qin Lei's hand and said, "You have done a good job over the years, grandma is very pleased, especially this meeting, the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky also want to thank you." ”

"That's what a grandson should do." Qin Lei grinned and said, "Only with Great Qin can there be the prince of Great Qin, just to protect himself." ”

"Only when there is a Great Qin can there be a Prince of Great Qin......" The old queen mother repeated this sentence, and suddenly laughed and said: "You are more broad-minded than ***, and I only think about the foundation of our Qin family, but you have the country of Great Qin in your heart." Qin Lei smiled and didn't speak, only listened to the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang continue: "But mind does not mean ability, ability does not represent method, do you have a way to solve the chronic disease that has plagued my Great Qin and my Qin clan for two hundred years?" ”

"Gate valve ......" Qin Lei said softly: "There is no good way to do it. ”

"Yes, it's a gate valve." Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said in a deep voice: "From the beginning of the founding of the country, they have parasitized on my Great Qin's body, sucking the anointing blood of my Great Qin, strengthening their strength, and secretly competing with my Qin clan's royal family. Not only has it diluted my royal power, but for the sake of his own selfishness, he even disregarded the safety of my Great Qin, which is really extremely greedy and selfish! He coughed violently and said, "If you don't get rid of them, how can I talk about Zhongxing, and how dare I hope to dominate the world?" Eunuch Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to give the Queen Mother a smooth back, but she waved her hand to stop her, so she had to retreat and let the two talk.

"The royal history of my Great Qin, and even the royal history of the Qi State and the Chu State, can be regarded as a history of struggle with the great clan." The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said with difficulty: "...... Although there is no shortage of outstanding talents in the family, there is a time-tested truth that the imperial power is strong and the country is strong, and the imperial power is weak and the country is weak, do you know why? ”

"Because," this question had been in Qin Lei's mind for a long time, and he nodded and said, "These families regard the world as the royal world, and they only think about grabbing benefits from it, but they don't want to fulfill their obligations for it. This was what Qin Lei felt the most, and he sighed and said, "If the imperial power is strong, you can force these scholars to do this and that for the country." But once the imperial power is weakened, these guys who have no control will be full of splitting up their families and discharging themselves, and even worse, they will make a big deal of national disasters and expand their strength after the national disasters! ”

"You also know it." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "But grandma is better than you, because I have a way to solve this chronic disease." ”

"Grandma, please speak." Qin Lei was overjoyed and said: "The merit is in the future!" ”

"What great achievements, what fame, that's what you men pursue." The old queen mother shook her head slowly, her eyes contained endless love and said: "For us women, home is everything, for their own home, women can risk their lives!" Although grandma is old, she is also a woman, and she can give up her life for her own family and grandchildren! ”

When Qin Lei heard this, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his heart, and he couldn't help but say in a continuous voice: "Grandma, don't do stupid things." The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang shook her head with a smile and said: "Where did I think of it, I just sent two sentences of emotion, I am an old woman who is about to die, even if I want to do stupid things, I don't have the ability." As he spoke, he took the blood swallow cup handed by Eunuch Qiu, ate a few bites to replenish his vitality, and then continued: "I have a layout, even if grandma points out the country for the last time, you must be obedient." ”

"My grandson knows." Qin Lei thought about it, and the old queen mother was not in danger, so he nodded and said, "Listen to the *** trick." ”

"Your strength is already very strong, even three points stronger than Li Hun." The old queen mother said softly: "It is said that you still have 300,000 troops in the south, but there is such a thing?" ”

This is no secret, Qin Lei simply nodded and said: "There is such a thing, there is about a year to become an army, and it is Sun Er who is preparing to attack it." "In fact, it was first used to 'seize power', but of course he wouldn't say that.

From this point of view, Qin Lei also felt that Emperor Tianyou's choice was wise. In this troubled world, whoever has more soldiers in his hands will be respected, and those three outlines and five constants, benevolence, righteousness and morality are just a fig leaf for those who steal the country, and it is certainly good to have them. If not, it's not a big deal, at most it's just ugly and embarrassing.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang would not ask Qin Lei why she was so concerned about the cause of national defense, but only heard her hiss and asked: "If your 300,000 troops are available, can you form an overwhelming advantage over Li Hun?" ”

"If that is the case for the grandson to have an army of 400,000," Qin Lei muttered: "Li Hun has 100,000 descendants, and the number of servants can reach 100,000, just from the books, forty to twenty, we will have an overwhelming advantage." He said with a wry smile and said: "But whether it is forty or twenty, it is my Great Qin's army, and the bitter wine of the civil war is highly poisonous." ”

"I can understand that you don't advocate war?" Empress Dowager Wenzhuang asked softly.

Qin Lei nodded slowly and said, "Yes, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to fight this civil war." But he gritted his teeth and said: "But the words are divided into two ends, when it comes to the last resort, I will never be merciful and strive for a quick solution!" ”

"You're still going to fight." The Empress Dowager shook her head, closed her eyes and said, "Then listen to me, *** method can minimize the loss." After a pause, he said: "And you can let all the big families clamp their tails, and dare not fight for power with your brothers." ”

"Then you and your grandson will get to the bottom and make me happy." Qin Lei smiled and said, "My grandson's heart is itchy. ”

"I can't say it yet." The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang still shook her head, smiled slyly and said, "If you say it, it won't work." ”

Qin Lei had no choice but to give up and said, "Okay, I can't help it if you don't say it, but I should always tell my grandson, what should I do?" ”

"Train the soldiers well, the sooner the better." Empress Dowager Wenzhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness and said, "When you become a soldier, I will naturally tell you everything." ”

Qin Lei nodded and promised, "Then I will go to the south to supervise the training in a few days." ”

"Let's wait for the baby to be born before leaving." Empress Dowager Wenzhuang smiled lovingly: "After all, it is your first child, so you are not in a hurry." ”

"My grandson understands." Qin Lei bowed his head softly and said, "Then I'll leave in April." ”

"Yes." Empress Dowager Wenzhuang nodded, her expression obviously much tired. Seeing this, Qin Lei got up and said goodbye: "Grandma is tired, let's rest for a while, and my grandson will come over to talk to you later." ”

Wen Zhuang shook his head and said: "No, grandma's body has been bad for a while, and she will be groggy at night, so let's finish the matter in one go." He said softly: "The other two are private matters, and they are not so complicated. ”

Qin Lei had no choice but to sit down and said in a deep voice: "Say it, I will definitely do it for you." ”

Wen Zhuang smiled and said, "Grandma didn't hurt you in vain." He said in a low voice and said, "One is grandma's own, I see that it is about to be buried in the ground, where are you going to bury the old woman?" ”

Qin Lei lost the ignorance of the first time he came to your realm, and knew that people attached great importance to the place where they would rest after death, because they believed that there would be another world after death.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager naturally asked about her mausoleum, and Qin Lei naturally replied: "Of course, I was buried with the emperor's grandfather." ”

"I don't want it." The old lady shook her head and said, "Just have the Empress Dowager Ciwen accompany the first emperor, and I won't bother them." ”

At this time, Qin Lei was finally surprised and said: "Then you want ......"

"Grandma has two sons in this life, one is your fifth uncle and the other is your father," I only heard the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang say leisurely: "Grandma has let your father serve the emperor for a lifetime, and you can't be biased, just bury me next to the tomb of your fifth emperor's uncle, and let him accompany me in the underworld." ”
