The next morning, the Empress Dowager Shen got up, when several palace maids were combing her hair, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, the Empress Dowager Shen frowned, she was used to being quiet, and hated the noise of the early morning, at this time, there was also an exclamation from the palace maids outside her bedroom, "Your Majesty, you can't go in!" ”

"Get out of the way!"

Huangfu Tian rushed into the queen mother's dormitory like a gust of wind, his face was flushed, his eyes were burning with anger, his two fists were clenched tightly, staring at his queen mother, and his angry chest rose and fell violently.

His expression was expected by the Empress Dowager Shen, who glanced at him and asked lightly, "Emperor, why are you doing this?" ”

Huangfu Tian knelt down in front of the queen mother, and said sadly: "Queen mother, why are you bullying your sons like this? ”

"When did the mourners bully you? You've got it straight! The frost in Empress Dowager Shen's eyes was slightly condensed, and there was anger in her heart, this little wrongdoer, he was obviously for his good, but he didn't appreciate it.

"Queen Mother, why did you drive my masters out of the capital!"

Huang Fu Tian's heart was extremely resentful, he heard the news that the two masters were kicked out of Beijing early in the morning, and he knew that this was the queen mother taking revenge on himself, the two masters were the only people he relied on, if they left, what should he do?

He was so hateful and angry that he lost his mind and yelled, "Queen Mother, why! ”

"Are you just talking to the mourners?"

Empress Dowager Shen said coldly: "This is the way they taught you to be a son of man?" ”

Huang Fu Tian suddenly realized that he was caught by the queen mother when he was so angry, he gradually calmed down, restrained the resentment in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "They didn't commit it, the godson is very good, we get along very well, and beg the queen mother to take back his life and let them stay by the side of the sons." ”

Empress Dowager Shen looked at her son coldly, and when she saw that he had finally calmed down, she said lightly: "Zhou Qilun is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, according to the law of the imperial court, the book needs to go to the local inspection every year, and there was a township test fraud in Yan'an County at the beginning of the year, and he delayed investigating and dealing with it, this is his dereliction of duty, he will not deal with it as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, do you still want to mourn the family to go on his behalf?" ”

When she saw that her son was about to refute, she immediately waved her hand and interrupted him, "You listen to the mourners." ”

"There is also Xu Yun, he is a university scholar, he has been teaching you to read for five years, and according to the law of the imperial court, the prince cannot be more than three years, he has seriously exceeded the time limit, and all university scholars have the practice of going to the local government to increase their capital for promotion, is it because Xu Yun is teaching you to read, he can be special and directly promoted to a squire?"

"Nope! Erchen didn't say that they were special, Erchen just thought that the queen mother was unfair. ”

"Then you say, how is the mourning family unfair?"

After all, Huangfu Tian is young, his wrist is far inferior to his mother, he only said two words, he was surrounded, he wanted them to stay, but in the end it became unfair, he refused to say any more, knelt there without saying a word.

Empress Dowager Shen looked at him, and she said slowly: "Okay! For the sake of what they taught you, the mourning family will be a little more integrated, Zhou Qilun went to Yan'an County just to inspect normally, there is no need to change anything, Linyi County is indeed a little too far, and Xu Yun's health does not seem to be too good, then change to Ziyang County Thorn History, let the fertility of Bashan Shushui nourish him well, that's it, you kneel down! ”

"What should I do if my minister is studying?"

"This mourning family knows in their hearts, the mourning family will let Han Lu, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, teach you, he is very knowledgeable, no less than Xu Yun, the mourning family has already decided."

Huangfu Tian trembled, that Han Lu is Bai Mingkai's person, and Bai Mingkai is the endorsement of the Queen Mother, which is equivalent to monitoring himself, he understands everything, it is the queen mother who begins to doubt himself.

Huangfu Tian took a deep foot and a shallow foot back to his palace.

．．．．．．．． Since the tragedy of the Tai students, Uncle Shen Guo has also been silent, he did not mention the political hall system again, he also realized that it is impossible to let the Queen Mother delegate power, she and Shen Ji's army together have 400,000 people, and they have absolute strength, and letting people with absolute strength give up their power is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And he also had to admit that the Empress Dowager Shen had a skill, she firmly grasped Bai Mingkai and a group of ministers who supported the Empress Dowager's curtain system, and gave a large salary increase to the court officials, and enveloped a group of small and medium-sized courts, so that she was not afraid of the officials to strike the court, and at the same time used high-pressure means to issue a ban order, and at the same time moved the palace to the capital, so that one hand was soft and the other hand was hard, and the situation was turned back by her.

Realizing this, Uncle Shen changed his strategy, he personally went to see the Empress Dowager once, and promised not to seek the political hall system again, but he put forward conditions, the condition was to exchange Hanzhong for Jinnan, and the Empress Dowager Shen also readily agreed, and now Shao Jingwen's 100,000 army has gone to Shuzhou, so that the entire Shuzhou and Hanzhong belong to his territory.

Uncle Shen also has a certain strength, he has an army of 150,000, and controls the rich Shuzhou, which is his solid backing in the imperial court.

Uncle Shen also knew that if he continued to entangle the system change and compete for power, in the end, both sides would fight bloodily, and he would only lose the emperor's fortune in vain.

Uncle Shen stayed in the mansion for the past two days, and he would not come forward for the time being until the situation was finally clear, so as not to make the court officials think that he had betrayed everyone, and he needed to make a gesture.

Maybe it was because he read too late last night, Uncle Shen woke up in the morning, only felt a headache, he sat in the study and closed his eyes for a while, and then began to review the documents, at this time, his housekeeper rushed to the door in a hurry, "Master, the emperor is here!" ”

Uncle Shen Guo was slightly stunned, he immediately thought that it must be Zhou Qilun and Xu Yun's matter, he also knew about this matter, he had already seen the queen mother's will, which was obviously the queen mother found something, so she attacked them.

He groaned, he knew what the little emperor was looking for him to do, he needed to sort out his thoughts, and then he greeted him.

Huangfu Tian was a private servant, only accompanied by a dozen guards, he was already panicking, in order to save the queen mother's life, he thought of all methods, and came to Uncle Shen for help.

Since he ascended the throne as emperor, Huangfu Tian no longer relied on Uncle Shen as before, especially when he felt the ambition of the Shen family, he also had a little vigilance against Uncle Shen, if he hadn't had anything to do, he would never come to Uncle Shen for help.

It was snowing heavily, and Huangfu Tian had just gotten off the carriage, and Uncle Shen Guo hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Old minister Shen Qin see Your Majesty!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Huangfu Tian sighed, "I won't stay too long, as soon as possible!" ”

"The old minister understands, Your Majesty, please!"

Uncle Shen Guo took Huang Fu Tian into his study, and there was no third person next to him, Huang Fu Tian suddenly knelt down and wept: "Please uncle save my nephew!" ”

Uncle Shen hurriedly helped him up, "Your Majesty, don't do this, don't!" ”

He helped Huangfu Tian to sit down, and then sighed and said, "Your Majesty is worried about the affairs of Zhou and Xu!" ”

Huangfu Tian nodded silently, and after a while, he suddenly said angrily: "As the queen mother, she does not live in the palace, but she controls the power of the country, has shallow knowledge, and has repeatedly mistaken the country. ”

Seeing that he was emotional, Uncle Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, she is your queen mother after all, you can't say that about her." ”

"But she and I are his son, Xiangguo, you know what she said, the first said that I could read power to govern at the age of eighteen, and then she changed it to twenty years old, saying that I had to pass the year of the weak crown, and it would be enough for two years, but she changed her words, not called reading power to govern, but called participating in politics, I asked her, what is participation in politics? She said that she would give me a part of the performance and let me share her worries. ”

Huang Futian was so emotional that he even changed his name to 'I', he no longer regarded himself as the emperor, "Xiangguo, do you think she is just a temporary joke, or is it just talking?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo was silent, he didn't know what to say, the little emperor had grown up, it was impossible to coax him again, he knew that even if Huangfu Tian reached the age of eighteen or twenty in the future, he would still be a puppet.

After a long time, Uncle Shen Guo sighed and said: "She is my own sister and your biological mother, it stands to reason that I can't talk about her, but now, I can tell you the truth, whether you like to hear it or not, she will one day become Wu Zetian's second." ”

Huangfu Tian was taken aback, "You said that the queen mother would ....."

Uncle Shen nodded, "It should be so, I have known her since I was a child, and I have seen through her now, her obsession and attachment to power have reached the point of going mad, unless she dies, she can not let go of power, but she is only thirty years old this year, and her health is very good, if she is well maintained, she can still govern for another forty years, and there is an iron tablet notice in the temple, the queen mother is a politician, and the longest can not exceed ten years, that is to say, after ten years, she must hand over power, which is stipulated by the law, of course she cannot hand over power, Breaking this legal principle, there is only one way to go, change your identity, no longer as the queen mother, but as the emperor. ”

After a pause, Uncle Shen Guo said slowly: "You don't know her methods too much, transfer Zhou and Xu away, she just doesn't want to tear her face with you on the spot, but I can assert that at the latest, three months or half a year later, Zhou and Xu will definitely die in office, Your Majesty, you won't have any chance." ”

Huangfu Tian sat down in a dejected manner, Uncle Shen's words were like needles, needles pierced his heart, and after a long time, he whispered: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, you only have two ways to go, either you are obedient to her, you can't have any resistance to her, you can't be dissatisfied with her, maybe after you are twenty years old, you can participate in politics, she will give you a little power, after all, you are her son, if you can't stand ....."

Uncle Shen Guo stared at him and said word by word: "Then you can only take the second way!" ”
