The carriage did not go to the palace, but to the east of the city.

"Old prince, doesn't the Queen Mother live in the palace?" Wu Jin asked a little strangely.

"The Queen Mother has not lived in the palace for nearly ten years, and the summer resort outside the East City is actually a separate palace, which was specially built by the emperor for the Queen Mother.

Huang Fujiang seemed to be a little depressed, and after a long time, he sighed softly, "There are some things that shouldn't have been known to you, but since you have embarked on this path, I can't hide it from you anymore." ”

"Is it about the Queen Mother?"

Huangfu Jiang nodded, "Yes!" From a certain point of view, she was the root cause of the Jin'an incident. ”

Wu Jin didn't speak, he quietly heard Huangfu Jiang's account of the past.

Fifty-three years ago, Ye Yunqing, the daughter of Ye Hong, the sixteen-year-old governor of Youzhou, became the princess of Chu, and Emperor Jin'an held a grand wedding for his younger brother to marry a concubine, but at the wedding, Emperor Jin'an was also fascinated by Ye Yunqing's beauty of the country and the city.

A year later, Princess Chu gave birth to the eldest son of King Chu, who is the current emperor, but only half a year later, Princess Chu entered the palace to visit the sick queen and never left the palace.

Emperor Jin'an married another princess to the king of Chu, and after three years, the queen died, and the new queen was canonized, and everyone found out that the new queen turned out to be the princess of Chu Ye Yunqing, she had given birth to a son for Emperor Jin'an two years ago, named Tianfeng, Emperor Jin'an liked this son abnormally, and did not hesitate to abolish the prince born to the former queen, and set up Tianfeng as the prince.

"This Tianfeng Prince is my father, right?"

"Yes, when Emperor Jin'an occupied his brother-in-law, causing an uproar in the imperial family, my father Lao Liang Wang, that is, Emperor Jin'an and the uncle of the King of Chu's relatives, was very angry about this matter, and entered Beijing to angrily denounce Emperor Jin'an for being shameless, it was reprimanded by the emperor's uncle, Emperor Jin'an felt abnormally guilty, so he sealed the King of Chu to Jiangning Mansion, allowed him to have 50,000 guards, and gave him the right to mint money, and also rewarded him with half of the taxes in Chuzhou for the expenses of the Chu Palace.

But Emperor Jin'an never dreamed that the King of Chu in just five or six years, has privately allocated an army of 300,000, he relied on the wealth of Chuzhou, wantonly bought the high-ranking officials in charge of the capital, the news of the King of Chu to recruit a private army was finally reported to the emperor by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guo Wei, Emperor Jin'an was furious, ordered to cut the vassal of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu entered Beijing to ask for guilt, and on the night after entering Beijing, the Jin'an Revolution broke out. ”

Wu Jin sighed, he didn't expect that behind the change in Jin'an back then, there was such a story of a brother competing for a woman.

"After the king of Chu seized the throne, did he regain the queen?"

"No, the king of Chu killed all his brother's sons and concubines, but left the queen, it is said that the king of Chu gave Ye Yunqing a mirror, but was broken by Ye Yunqing and sent back, she hanged herself, but was saved by the palace maid, and then Ye Yunqing became a monk, and she never returned to the king of Chu."

"Then does the current emperor hate his mother? Left him before he was a year old. ”

Huangfu Jiang smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's a little, but after all, it's his mother, and she is also named the Empress Dowager Jing'an, you should understand the meaning of the word 'Jing'an'." ”

Wu Jin nodded silently, this Empress Dowager Jing'an is also his grandmother, and she is his only relative in the world except for his eldest brother, at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Then does she know me?" ”

"She also only learned that you were still in the world not long ago, and she also agreed that you would become the King of Liang, but there is one thing you must remember, she doesn't know that there is only Ming, you must keep this secret no matter what, in addition, she doesn't know our revival plan, you must not show your mouth."

Wu Jin was stunned, he could understand if he didn't let the Queen Mother know about the revival plan, but why didn't he let her know the eldest brother?

Huang Fujiang explained to him: "Once she knows that Weiming exists, our revival plan is likely to be guessed by her, you know, the current emperor is also her son, she will never allow it, do you understand?" ”

"I see, I'll keep it a secret."

．．．．．．．． The carriage traveled at a gallop, and after about half an hour it came to a beautiful mountain bay, at the foot of which there was a splendid palace in the distance, surrounded by a winding moat, and where patrols of cavalry were constantly galloping by, and no idler was allowed to approach.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace bridge, and several eunuchs on horseback hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and then the guardrail was opened, and the carriage drove into the palace area.

The palace was surrounded by tall palace walls, and the carriage stopped outside the palace, and the two of them changed into a court carriage and drove into the overlapping palace.

The carriage stopped in front of a palace gate, several palace maids were already waiting here, and Huangfu Jiang whispered to Wu Jin: "The queen mother didn't summon me, I can't go in, you have to remember what I just said, don't show a trace of style." ”

"Don't worry, I won't!"

Wu Jin stepped out of the carriage, and the two palace maids immediately greeted him, "Excuse me, is it the son of Wu Jin?" ”

Wu Jin saluted, "In the next Wu Jin, let you wait for a long time." ”

"The prince of Wujin is too polite, please come with me, the queen mother is waiting for you."

The two palace maids took Wu Jin to the inner palace, walked into the inner palace, Wu Jin was surprised to find that there was a small river in the inner palace, forming a reading water system, the river was lined with green trees, three white jade bridges spanned it, and there were beautiful buildings all around.

A pair of swans, mandarin ducks, and wild ducks in the small river are swimming leisurely, and the two palace maids are rowing a boat, feeding the wild birds in the river.

"Master Wujin, please go this way."

The two palace maids pursed their lips and smiled, "Gongzi Wujin, no outsiders have come in here for almost ten years, and you are the first." ”

"It's my pleasure."

The two palace maids led Wu Jin into a small all-wooden palace, walked up the steps, and four palace maids in white gauze dresses stood at the door.

They saluted Wu Jin together, "Wu Jin Gongzi, please come with us." ”

Four white gauze palace maids lined up in two teams, as if the Lingbo fairy was leading the way in front, and the whole palace was filled with a faint fragrance, and Wu Jin found out that the main beams and wooden pillars of the palace were actually made of precious agarwood.

The palace maids walked through a curtain and saluted together, "Queen Mother, the prince of Wujin brought it." ”

"Let him in!"

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, his voice seemed a little familiar, where had he heard it, his heart was pounding, he was about to see his grandmother, Ye Yunqing, which was the name on the Baye Leaf Sutra, he had already known this name, and it turned out to be his grandmother.

"Wujin Gongzi, the Queen Mother invites you in!"

The palace maids rolled up the high curtains, Wu Jin walked into the inner palace, he only saw an old woman in an apricot yellow palace dress sitting on a chair, before he could see his face clearly, Wu Jin hurriedly knelt down, "Younger generation Wu Jin, please give the Queen Mother peace, I wish the Queen Mother good health and a long life." ”

"Wujin, I'm glad to see you again." The Queen Mother's voice was very soft, and her tone was full of pleasure.

Wu Jin was stunned, how could it be again, he raised his head, and saw that the Queen Mother had kind eyebrows and an amiable smile on her face.

"It's you!" Wu Jin blurted out, he was stunned, the queen mother in front of him turned out to be the old lady who swept the leaves of Tianji Temple, he turned a few corners in his mind, and it took a while to react.

"It turns out that the old lady is ......"

"Wu Jin, this is our fate, right?"

The Queen Mother looked at Wujin deeply, his appearance was very similar to his grandfather, this was her grandson, and it was the only bloodline he left in the world, she restrained the tears that were about to gush out, and waved her hand to several henchmen and palace maids next to her, "You stand down, no one is allowed to come in." ”

The four palace maids were stunned for a moment, they had followed the Queen Mother since they were children, and the Queen Mother had never hidden anything from them, the Queen Mother actually asked them to step back for this young man, although they were puzzled in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more, so they retreated.

There were only two people left in the palace, the Queen Mother and Wu Jin, the Queen Mother's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand to Wu Jin in a choked voice, "Grandson, come to Grandmother!" ”

Wu Jin knelt and climbed forward, knelt at his grandmother's feet, and cried, "Grandmother, my grandson is not filial, and I only came to visit my grandmother now." ”

The Queen Mother hugged Wu Jin and whimpered and cried, "My grandson, my child!" ”

The grandparents hugged their heads and cried, and after a long time, the Queen Mother wiped away her tears and choked up: "I always thought that Tianfeng died thirty years ago, but I didn't expect him to die ten years ago, and I didn't expect that he still left flesh and blood, and he is still a good child who knows how to be filial, which really makes me happy." ”

Wu Jin helped her grandmother sit down, respectfully kowtowed to her three times, and the Queen Mother nodded slowly, "Good boy, from today on, I am your only relative, I want to protect you, I can't let Tianfeng lose his bloodline." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm protected by the Liang King family now, and I just was named the Duke of Liang today, grandmother should know!"

"I know this, although I don't approve of it, but I also admit that it is the best of both worlds, it will protect you and give you a future, but I have warned them not to put you in the limelight again, no promotion, you should know what I mean."

The Queen Mother sighed, "More than forty years have passed, their throne has long been entrenched, you can't take it back, it will only push you to a dead end, I must not accept it." ”

Wu Jin was silent, he didn't know how to tell his grandmother, he didn't want to deceive the old man, but he didn't want to tell the truth, only silence, indicating that he didn't know.

The Queen Mother sighed for a moment, she suddenly remembered something, and asked Wujin with a smile, "Do you have a girl you like?" ”

Wu Jin's face flushed, and he nodded slightly, the Queen Mother was more interested, "Then you tell me, who is it?" What is your name? ”

"Yes.... The eldest granddaughter of the priest of the country, Su Xun, is called Su Han, and I met her in Weiyang County. ”

"Guozijian Su Xun is very well educated, has a strict family education, is a Confucian family, his granddaughter should be worthy of my grandson, I remember this matter, Su Han, yes, this name is very atmospheric, I want to find a chance to see her."

"Grandmother, are you still going to Tianji Temple to sweep the leaves?" Wu Jin asked again.

"I'm not going!"

The Queen Mother shook her head, "One is that age is not allowed, but the most important thing is that you appear, this is the Buddha, the Buddha has responded, I don't have to go to Tianji Temple anymore, I will worship the Buddha in the palace." ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother took out a jade pendant and handed it to Wu Jin, "This is the jade pendant I have worn for fifty years, even Tianfeng I am reluctant to give it, give it to you today, may it bring you peace and happiness." ”

She personally wore the jade on Wu Jin's neck, and Wu Jin kowtowed and thanked him, "Thank you grandmother for giving you jade!" ”
