Chapter 171: Dialogue between the Empress and the Emperor
Wei Qiao pressed Li Xiluan into the quilt and put his hands on it, and Li Xiluan escaped three times and was arrested again. Exclamations came from time to time in the quilt, and they were quickly replaced by shallow chanting and low singing.
The quilt was churning violently, and for a long time, Li Xiluan showed a flushed pretty face, panting and said, "Uncle, it will get dark soon, we ......"
Before the words could be spoken, the quilt was covered again, and a heart-pounding and red-faced pant moan came out in a row.
It didn't take long for the jade feet, which had been lush and white, to pick out the quilt, and the fingers that were as bright as jade trembled slightly, but soon the quilt was hooked into one leg again.
was rolled by the waves, and a slender jade hand stretched out of the quilt, grasping the bed frame, and did not let go. But in an instant, a big hand reached out and grabbed her in.
A few unwilling mutters came from the bed, but they were immediately replaced by coquettish begs for mercy.
I don't know how long it took, but the violent shaking of the big bed finally stopped, and the quilt was lifted, revealing two heads.
Li Xiluan's face was flushed, her hair was moist, her clothes were disheveled, her mouth was lightly pursed, and her breasts rose and fell and she exhaled lowly.
Wei Qiao stared sideways at Li Xiluan's pretty face like rouge, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get enough of it, so he couldn't help but kiss it again.
Li Xiluan opened his eyes, glanced at him with some hatred, and said, "I already knew that your words could not be trusted. β
Wei Qiao's eyes were full of endless spring light, he smiled, one hand was gone, and he said in a low voice: "Then you still have ...... left"
"Ah, don't say it......" Wei Qiao's expression immediately changed and begged for mercy loudly.
Women are to be coaxed, Wei Qiao knows the correct surname of this sentence.
Li Xiluan snorted lightly and withdrew his hand, squinted at Wei Qiao, and calmed down the disordered breath by himself.
After the aftertaste, it is all charming and enchanting, and the glare, not only is not angry, but more sultry.
Wei Qiao reclined on the bed, staring at Li Xiluan's pretty face, one hand making waves in the quilt.
Li Xiluan's limbs were sore and weak, and he didn't bother to bother with him, frowning slightly, and letting Wei Qiao do anything wrong.
Wei Qiao saw her frowning slightly, his heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go and see my husband and my majesty tomorrow, and the heroic posture of the world?" β
Li Xiluan's heart is difficult to hide from Wei Qiao, especially in bed. She is now willing to let herself 'mess around', which is actually a disguised 'comfort'. For tomorrow's events, it is still difficult for her to completely put her mind at ease.
Li Xiluan listened to his messy name, closed his eyes and hummed softly.
Wei Qiao leaned in and bit her small jade-like earlobe.
Li Xiluan's delicate body immediately trembled, and hurriedly said, "Don't go." This is her most sensitive place, and Wei Qiao can be said to know her body well.
Wei Qiao pressed his hair against his hair and said, "Why? β
Li Xiluan's breath gradually stabilized, opened his eyes and glared at him angrily, and said, "Something." β
Wei Qiao put one hand on her chest and said in a low voice, "Are you worried about me and don't dare to look at it?" β
Li Xiluan closed her eyes, frowning slightly as if she was enjoying it.
Wei Qiao's right hand moved slightly, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this kind of thing is actually not difficult to deal with, you are waiting for my uncle at home My good news is." β
Li Xiluan's face was a little red again, and she pursed her cherry lips and didn't speak.
Wei Qiao saw that Li Xiluan didn't speak, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you're really worried, go find Qingning and ask her to take you with you." β
Li Xiluan cherry's lips bit lightly, for a long time, opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, "I still don't go, I'll wait for your news at home." β
Wei Qiao felt that her heartbeat was gradually stabilizing, gave her a confident smile, and said, "It's okay, although my sister-in-law can't see my husband's might, but it is also very ...... to be able to have a spring breeze with me."
"Ah, sister-in-law, why do you always screw a place......"
"See if you dare to talk nonsense......"
"Don't dare, don't dare, husband, I ......"
"And ......"
"Don't say it, don't say it......"
ββββββββ lights are on, and the night is as cool as water.
Jinling City has the taste of a city that never sleeps, and almost all the people who have something to do with it are lit up all night, gathering together in twos and threes, discussing something in a low voice.
And the news from the palace also made Jinling's officials, large and small, shake abnormally, like a mouse out of a hole, and the threshold of all those with a little power was broken. This one comes and that one enters, and then people here come in, and those people go out, and they go in and out of that house, and they keep running.
In the same way, none of the officials of the six ministries are alive at present. Because the meaning revealed in the palace is to adjust the six departments, since the six departments are adjusted, it is undoubtedly aimed at the scholars and waiters, and most of the books are still served by the cabinet elders, so the waiters naturally can't sit still.
In Jinling City, whether it is an official or not, a person who wants to be an official and does not want to be an official, a person who wants to be promoted and does not want to be promoted, and a person who wants to get rich and does not want to get rich, at this time, they all take advantage of the dark night to run boldly.
After all, if the six ministries move, then the other yamen will naturally be affected, and there is no one who does not care about their official position and power.
Fu Mingzheng and Lin Feng were walking slowly on the road, looking at the stars in the sky, Fu Mingzheng was in a very good mood.
"My lord, the emperor's determination this time is very great." Lin Fengzheng followed Fu Mingzheng and said in a low voice.
Fu Ming was walking slowly, nodded, and sighed: "Yes, such a big movement, Jinling is okay to say, other places are estimated to set off a lot of turmoil." β
Jinling is the capital of Daqi, and the Jinling earthquake will naturally affect other places, and it may also cause a greater earthquake than Jinling.
Lin Fengzheng nodded and shook his head, and said, "The emperor is still a little too hasty. This sentence may be suspected of encroaching on the monarch in other dynasties, but in the private of Daqi, it is not a big deal.
Fu Mingzheng looked down at his footsteps, muttered for a long time, and said with a solemn expression: "No, the emperor's surname is actually very stable." Over the years, he had hardly ever taken any risks. This time, I'm afraid it has been planned for a long time. What I'm really worried about is my few twists and turns. I don't know how many of these innovative twists and turns the emperor has entered, most of the things in them are immature, if the emperor wants to throw them out at this time, then, I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos. β
Lin Fengzheng's face changed slightly, he didn't know what was written in Fu Mingzheng's recital, but he also knew that Fu Mingzheng had always been a reformist, if the emperor wanted to propose innovation at this time, it was estimated that it would only add fuel to the fire, and the huge waves would meet the gale.
Fu Mingzheng looked up at the sky and stared: "Let's take a look again, tomorrow I may be able to detect clues from Wei Qiao's trial." β
Lin Fengzheng frowned and nodded, just as he moved, he suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, I just received news from the palace, saying that it was Hanlin who reviewed Yizhong and gave the emperor a twist and impeachment of the imperial history platform, which named the lord, and I also have the name of Wei Qiao." β
"Oh" Fu Mingzheng was a little surprised, but immediately shook his head and said, "This Lord Yi is probably going to touch his head." "He has been set to take over the household department for a few days, and now someone is impeaching him, which is indeed a bit of a deliberate attempt to find fault with the emperor.
In fact, he can't blame this Lord Yi, he received a message from Wang Yuanhui, and felt that the opportunity to leave the Hanlin Academy had arrived, and then remembered Wu Fangyuan's majesty now, and immediately closed the door, and instructed no one to disturb, and in one afternoon, a gorgeous impeachment piece was born. The rhetoric is gorgeous, the sentences are concise, and it can really be called a painstaking work. As soon as he opened the door, he handed it directly to the emperor's imperial study without saying a word. Poor Lord Yi is still fantasizing about being able to jump out of the Hanlin Academy this time and show his ambitions! Absolutely unaware of what's going on outside.
Lin Fengzheng also smiled and nodded, now no one dares to show his head at this sensitive time, but this Lord Yi is on this letter. No matter what the outcome of the trial is, it is estimated that this Lord Yi will not end very well, and it is very likely that he will be the first to be killed to sacrifice the flag.
ββββββββββββ likewise, it wasn't very calm in the palace at this time.
The eldest princess Zhou Qi came to greet the queen and chatted for a long time, trying the emperor's mind by knocking on the side. But the queen has been with the emperor for many years, so naturally Zhou Qi will not be easily taken out, so she has to go to the emperor again.
After staying in the imperial study for a long time, he came out with a frustrated face, and not long after, the little princess went in again, and then, some royal relatives of the clan also appeared, even some of the old princes who had forgotten their names in the emperor Yanjing also rarely showed their true faces, appeared in the emperor's imperial study, and pulled up the friendship of the past.
Some people are knocking on the side to probe the emperor's mind, some people are talking about the young talents of the clan who are talking about him, and some people are praising their own nephews and grandchildren.
The emperor came from all sides, and he stood still. In the imperial study, he received batches of visitors lukewarmly, clichΓ©s, inquiring about news, and showing his face, and he welcomed them in without refusing, and then sent them out with delicious food and drink. A bunch of people came out with dry mouths, but they found that they didn't get anything useful.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." Late at night, the empress put a shawl on the emperor's body and said softly.
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked up, listened to the voice outside, and said, "How many times has it changed?" β
The queen straightened the shawl and said, "It's the second watch." β
The emperor put down the book in his hand and said, "It's time to sleep." β
The emperor used to have several side concubines in the palace, and then his health has been bad, although he ascended the throne as the emperor and did not accept any concubines, now the years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the harem is even more lonely, basically, he is accompanied by the queen every night.
The queen habitually fetched water for the emperor, retreated, washed her feet, chatted a few words, and the two went to bed and lay down.
Covered with a brocade quilt, the emperor exhaled deeply and closed his eyes.
In the darkness, the emperor tossed and turned, his eyes open and closed.
"Your Majesty, can't you sleep?" In the dark, the queen said softly.
The emperor's tumbling body stopped, sighed, and said, "I'm arguing with you." β
The queen's voice was always so gentle, and she said, "The concubine can't sleep." β
The emperor shook his head, he naturally understood the empress, opened his eyes and said, "Then hold the lamp and talk to me." β
"Okay." The queen agreed, lifted the quilt, and felt to the end of the bed. Soon, the lights came on slowly.
The Empress lay back down, like the Emperor, resting on the bed frame and looking at him with tender eyes.
At this time, the emperor did not have the domineering awe-inspiring in the court, nor did he have the spirit in front of outsiders, at this moment, he was like an old man who had vicissitudes of life, sighing that the old man was coming, and there was not much difference from the old man outside.
The queen stretched out her hand and pressed the brocade quilt on the emperor's chest, and said softly, "The emperor has something on his mind?" β
The emperor nodded, his eyes flickered with complexity, and he said as if to himself, "Empress, you say, can I still control the world?" β
The queen was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you can't control the world, who else can control it?" β
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the flickering flames, and frowned: "I don't know, I also want to see if I can control the world!" β
The queen frowned slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you want to use tomorrow's trial to test those three people?" β
The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes thoughtful, and said, "Don't look at the martial arts who don't go out, his control over the army is definitely more than mine." The eighth brother has learned to forbear, and I can't understand him a little now. And Fu Li, he is the person I can see through the most, but he is also the person I can't see through. The secret decree that my father gave him to the two of them back then, I still don't know what is written on it? But the two of them asked to keep the eighth brother at the same time, and the eighth brother was defeated and did not escape, and he must have left his father to control me. Over the years, I have been careful not to touch him, in addition to being afraid of the martial apprentice Fu Li, I am also afraid of the Yinkong Master. I've always guessed that the edict in his hand - yes, a ...... Abolish the emperor's edict! β
At the end of the speech, the emperor's voice revealed an extremely strange tone. It seems to be mockery, and it seems to be sad, and at the same time there is hatred, and there is a hint of admiration.
The queen's face changed, and she almost exhaled in surprise.
Even her heart name took a long time to suppress the shock in her heart, stared at the emperor with wide eyes, and said in a low voice: "Abolish the emperor's edict? β
The emperor nodded calmly, with an indescribable strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "My father actually doesn't believe in anyone's heart, he can abolish the crown prince before he dies, and after he dies, he still thinks about abolishing the emperor!" β
'Abolish the Emperor', the 'Emperor' in it obviously refers to Emperor Wenzheng, and he Zhou Yanzhao.
The queen has always rarely asked about political affairs, as long as the emperor doesn't say that she never asks, but now when she hears this, Rao is she has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and she still can't stand it all of a sudden, and her body is stiff and lying there, frozen.
The emperor smiled, reached out and patted her on the back, and said, "Don't worry, don't say whether this edict will appear, even if it does, he can't abolish me!" β
Although the emperor said this kind of thing with a calm face, the strong confidence revealed in his tone made the queen feel at ease.
The queen exhaled deeply, leaned lightly against the emperor's side, closed her eyes and sighed: "Your Majesty, the concubine's courage has become smaller. β
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the woman in his arms, she became less courageous?
Although it seems to be around fifty, in fact, the emperor knows that the empress is three years older than him, and now, it should be sixty-seven?
Looking at the young face that was vaguely preserved on the queen's face, his old eyes are in front of him, and he can't help but think of the heroic, sassy and heroic female general who has followed him for more than ten years in the south and the north, and she has blocked arrows for herself, how many times has she been stabbed, and how many times has she saved his life?
He can't remember these Huang Yanjing anymore, but there is one thing he remembers most clearly, and he will never forget it for a lifetime.
The first emperor was seriously ill back then, and the current Jin king, the then crown prince Zhou Yu, was already preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and the current emperor's then Jin King Zhou Yanzhao and his family were suddenly pushed to the edge of the cliff, and everyone became nervous. Even ordinary people in Jinling understand that once Zhou Yu sits on the throne, the first thing he has to do is to give Zhou Yanzhao poisoned wine to get rid of this big trouble!
Naturally, Zhou Yanzhao's family will not have any life, and Zhou Yanzhao's family will not have a good life.
At that time, Zhou Yanzhao was under house arrest by the emperor in the forbidden palace, and there was no news and no news. For a while, Zhou Yanzhao and his intuition were coming, and people's hearts were panicked, like the sky collapsing, and falling apart was imminent.
At this time, the then princess of Jin and the current queen Zheng Tong knelt in front of the palace with a big belly of more than nine months, begging to serve in front of the king's sickbed instead of Zhou Yanzhao.
After kneeling for a day and a night, the emperor finally agreed, and finally Zheng Tong fell from the chair while waiting for the emperor to take medicine, miscarried on the spot, and almost lost two lives! And it was this time that prompted the emperor to make up his mind to abolish Prince Zhou Yu!
In this world, only Zhou Yanzhao knew that it was not a mistake, it was Zheng Tong's intention.
She's blocking, with her own life, and the child in her belly!
Can she save Zhou Yanzhao's life, can she save the life of Zhou Yanzhao's family!
She won the bet, and the emperor released Zhou Yanzhao and seized the throne strongly.
When Zhou Yanzhao, who was already the emperor, saw Zheng Tong again, Zheng Tong was lying on the bed and dying, and the imperial doctor told the emperor at the time, Zhou Yanzhao, that it was impossible for the 'Princess of Jin' to be pregnant again.
Zhou Yanzhao always remembered that Zheng Tong was lying on the bed, with a pale face and a sad appearance, but he slapped a smiling face and congratulated him on his every move to ascend the throne and become emperor.
His eyes were sour, and Zhou Yanzhao couldn't help but stretch out his old hand and touch her face.
The queen was stunned, looked at the emperor and wondered, "What's wrong?" β
The emperor smiled and said, "My courage has also become smaller, and I used to be afraid of any bloody wind and rain. Nowadays, I hesitate to do anything. β
The queen pulled the quilt on his feet again, as if she didn't know, and said softly: "Can't sleep are thinking about tomorrow?" β
The emperor nodded, the emotions welling up in his heart slowly converged, and he said abruptly: "Yes, I am more than sixty years old, and I don't have a few years to live." I'm alive, and I can still suppress those old guys, if I'm dead, this world, I shouldn't be surnamed Zhou. β
The queen didn't pretend to correct anything, and said with her eyebrows, "Then, what does the emperor mean this time?" β
The emperor sighed, his eyes flashed resolutely, and said: "Over the years, the roots of these people have already reached every place in my Daqi, and this time, I have to touch their bottoms well!" β
When the queen heard this, she nodded lightly and said, "It is estimated that tomorrow's trial alone can only look at the surface, and the emperor should have a trick, right?" β
The emperor had a smile on his face and said, "The queen really knows me best, yes, this is just the first step." In addition, I also want to see how many people in this world still remember the surname Zhou. At the end, Zhou Yanzhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with murderous aura.
The queen ignored this, lowered her head and pondered, and suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, are you sure about that matter?" β
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said in an affirmative tone, "Yes, Gonggong Cai will not lie to me, and besides, I have also sent someone to check carefully, ** not far from ten!" β
When the queen heard this, she nodded, and said softly: "Well, since the emperor is sure, although there will be some twists and turns in the future, the country is still our Zhou family." β
The Zhou family, the Zhou family, others may not understand the meaning of this, but the emperor knows it. There are only three people in the world who know this secret.
The emperor stretched out his hand to hold her, sighed, and said guiltily: "In this life, I owe you too much. β
The queen shook her head with a smile and said, "We are husband and wife, where there is someone who owes whom." β
The emperor looked persistent and said softly: "If there is really an afterlife, let's change it, let you be the emperor, and I will be the queen for you." β
The queen closed her eyes and did not answer. It's just that there is a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, even if he is old, he still makes people feel beautiful.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ the next day, early in the morning.
Wei Qiao, who didn't go to harm Li Xiluan, got up early, shouted loudly in the yard, brandished his stick, and the fat man next to him did the actions he had worked so hard to do for a long time, which made him feel very shocked and burst into tears.
One of the two little girls was holding water, the other was holding a towel, and they stood under the eaves with a waiting face.
Almost all of Jinling knew that Wei Qiao was going to do something big today, and they were naturally extremely nervous, and they were several times more attentive than before.
Wei Qiao washed his face, changed his clothes, ate a few bites casually, and walked towards Jinling Mansion with Xu Mao.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Wei Qiao pondered, deliberated, and repeatedly calculated various possibilities and his own means of coping. It was the first time he had encountered this kind of scene, and Wei Qiao was still a little nervous.
Last night, many people also came to the Wei Mansion to inquire about the news, but except for a few people, all of them were blocked by Wei Qiao.
Qin Yun had been here, and to Wei Qiao's surprise, he didn't even know the emperor's purpose. There are also a few people who are close to the Wei family who have also come, but these people were received by Li Xiluan and comforted them.
Wei Qiao was dangling in the sedan chair while thinking about the emperor's intentions. Wei Qiao knows a truth very well, under the highly centralized system, there has never been judicial reading, and justice is more about reflecting the will of the emperor. If you want to know how to try the case and what kind of result you get, you must find out what the emperor thinks, and the right medicine will cause problems.
"That's it!"
Wei Qiao calmed his face, exhaled, and slapped his thigh hard.
(To be continued)
