The sun is very good, especially in the cold winter, giving people a warm feeling, but under the gaze of rows of black-armored guards, the atmosphere suddenly becomes sluggish, but it is under this oppressive momentum that an old man in cloth walks slowly.

The old man was of medium and thin stature, his hair was gray and sparse, and his face was full of wrinkles, but these wrinkles added a sense of indifference and kindness, and a pair of eyes narrowed slightly to make him more leisurely, even if he walked towards the heavily guarded imperial study, he was so leisurely that he seemed to be strolling leisurely, and he was afraid that anyone who saw him would praise his good bearing. With such a bearing, naturally he will not be an ordinary person, this old man is the generation of military gods of the Great Chu State, Fang Jingfang is marshal.

Looking up at the imperial study, Fang Jing's steps seemed leisurely, but there was an indescribable sigh in his heart, and the words of the Queen Mother couldn't help but appear in his mind.

"Here, sit down!" In just a few words, Fang Jing heard a lot.

The reason why he entered the palace today was because of the Queen Mother's invitation, as for the purpose, Fang Jing also guessed that it was very similar, but seeing the Queen Mother's current appearance, Fang Jing still sighed in his heart, and knelt down and said: "The old minister sees the Queen Mother's mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Looking at Fang Jing, the Queen Mother did not answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, a smile appeared on the Queen Mother's indifferent face, and she shook her head and said, "You, you are still an old fox." At the end of the words, the smile on the queen mother's face had disappeared, and she said lightly: "Get up." Today, we don't have a distinction between monarchs and ministers, just two old men and old ladies who are about to enter the ground, sitting together and chatting, sitting. ”

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who was obviously much older, Fang Jing opened his mouth and said, "Then the old minister is presumptuous. After bowing again, Fang Jing stood up, but he still sat on the chair in accordance with the etiquette of the monarch and the minister.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother didn't say much, and didn't even speak, just clutched the rosary in her hand one by one, and there was silence. Seeing this, Fang Jing didn't speak, picked up the teacup and tasted it quietly.

In the silence, the Queen Mother suddenly let out a sigh and opened her mouth to say, "Brother Fang, do you know why the old body asked you to enter the palace?" ”

After staring at the Queen Mother for a moment, Fang Jing nodded and said, "The old minister has guessed somewhat. After a pause, Fang Jing continued: "During this period of time, the old minister has been thinking about entering the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but his body is not angry, and the old minister is not eloquent, so he doesn't dare to disturb the Queen Mother." ”

Nodding, the Queen Mother said, "Yes, we are all old, and our bodies and bones are no longer good." However, as for eloquence, Tianfeng, you and Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming is good at talking, although Tianfeng is the king of a country and a generation of grandmasters, his words and actions are like waving a sword with a kind of momentum, but Fang Jing you, known as a generation of military gods, are deep and clumsy, and great wisdom and foolishness are people like you. ”

Xuanming, Du Xuanming, and Fang Jing are both Chu Tianfeng's right-hand men, and the two of them helped Chu Tianfeng establish the Great Chu Dynasty with one article and one martial arts. After the founding of the country, Fang Jing was idle at home on the grounds of being too old, and Du Xuanming became the prime minister to assist Chu Tianfeng in governing the country. After Du Xuanming's death, Chu Tianfeng was sad for a while, and even the phase was vacant, and it was for this reason that the prosperity of the six departments was born.

Hearing the Queen Mother mention Du Xuanming and the first emperor Chu Tianfeng, a wry smile appeared on Fang Jing's face. The three of them have been friends all their lives, although they are monarchs and ministers, but they have a close personal relationship, but the two of them have grown old one after another, and only themselves are left!

Thinking of this, Fang Jingyao nodded and said: "What the old minister has learned all his life is in the military array, and he doesn't know the way to govern the country at all, so the old minister will resign and go into hiding, but now it seems that it is not like an old fox but a thousand-year-old king!" ”

At the end of the words, Fang Jing chuckled even more, as if he was laughing at himself or wanting to make the Queen Mother happy, but the Queen Mother did not have any smile on her face, and said lightly: "Tianfeng had two major regrets before his death, one is that he failed to calm Mobei, this matter has already been started, and the winner will be able to be determined next year, and the other is that he has not been able to see Xiao Qicheng's family with his own eyes, and the old body is fortunate to live until now, but a good family affair has become like this, alas!" ”

In the low sigh, there was silence in the Cining Palace, only the crisp sound of the rosary clutching, and this was even more empty.

Fang Jing also sighed, and at this moment, the Queen Mother continued: "On the day of the wedding, Princess Yue and Concubine Jing died one after another, and the old man was in pain!" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother covered her heart with one palm, and the wrinkles on her face were deeply folded, and said: "These days, the old body can't sleep at night, and the scene of that day is not in my mind, or Xiao Qi's tears, and sometimes it is Tianfeng's voice, he is blaming the old man!" ”

Seeing that there were tears flowing down the Queen Mother's closed eyes, Fang Jing hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother, you are too careful, the first emperor is a generation of masters, and you are even more respectful to the mother, how can you have such an idea?" Mother, your body is important! ”

Wiping away the tears on her face, the Queen Mother smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I think about it, the old body that should have been experienced has been experienced, and now that I am a lot older, what is the meaning of living, it is better to go with Tianfeng, one hundred!" ”

Suddenly, Fang Jing just knelt down, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on the side also knelt down. Looking up at the Queen Mother, Fang Jing opened her mouth and said, "Niangniang, how can you have such an idea? If nothing else, just for the Seventh Prince, you should live a good life. ”

Shaking her head and letting out a long sigh, the Queen Mother said: "It's all from the bottom of my heart, if you hold it for a long time, it will be better to say it, don't blame you, get up!" Seeing that Fang Jing hadn't gotten up yet, the Queen Mother continued: "You and Tianfeng have a good relationship, and you are also familiar with the old body, now we are all a lot old, how can you still do these false courtesies, get up." And, speaking of which, today I still have an old body to ask for you. ”

A sigh came from the bottom of his heart, Fang Jing secretly said that he had finally come, but what could he do? sat down again, but Fang Jing didn't speak.

Looking at Fang Jing, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment and then waved her hand and said, "You all go down." When the palace maids and eunuchs bowed down one by one, the Queen Mother stared at Fang Jing and said: "Brother Fang, there are no outsiders here today, and the old body will say it directly, the old body wants to beg Brother Fang to marry Yu'er to Xiao'er as his wife." ”

Seeing any change in Fang Jing's face, the Queen Mother shook her head, and then said: "Brother Fang, you also know that when Xiao Qi was born, a vision fell from the sky, and Tianfeng went to the Mid-Mountain Nunnery overnight to ask Master Huizhen to approve his life, but the old body is not known, however, if you don't know, you know, not to mention that the old body is also surnamed Sun." In the past ten years, Tianfeng has been letting him mess around with Xiao Qi's temperament, but after his death, he ordered him to go into the mountains to guard filial piety, and he loved Xiao Qi very much and wanted him to stay away from right and wrong, but he was going to grow up eventually. ”

Speaking of this, she let out a sigh, and the Queen Mother continued: "After the expiration of the filial piety period, Xiao Qi went out of the mountain, but in just three or four months, Xiao Qi was assassinated several times, and each time his life hung by a thread, but it was a pity for those two girls." ”

Looking at the Queen Mother, looking at her tired face, those helpless eyes, at this moment, Fang Jing suddenly felt that she was no longer the Queen Mother of the world, but an ordinary mother, a mother who broke her heart for her son. He opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into a sigh.

Shaking her head again, the Queen Mother continued: "After this incident, Xiao Qi will definitely be a lot more stable, so the old body has the courage to beg Brother Fang to allow Xiao Qi to marry Yu'er as his wife, as for the rest, the old body will use his life as a guarantee." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Fang Jing hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is serious. After a short pause, Fang Jing nodded and replied: "The Seventh Prince is simple by nature, especially the best and most filial, and it is also her blessing that Yu'er can marry the Seventh Prince as his wife." ”

Seeing that Fang Jing agreed, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Fang Gaoyi, that old body has thanked Brother Fang on behalf of Tianfeng and Xiao Qi." After a pause, the Queen Mother sighed again and said, "Brother Fang, you don't know, the old body is really tired, if it weren't for the fact that he was still worried about Xiao Qi's marriage, I was afraid that Tianfeng would blame the old body, and the old body would be difficult to hold on." ”

Seeing that tears were dripping from the Queen Mother's eyes again, Fang Jing hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, don't think so, you still have to wait to hold your grandson." ”

Shaking her head, the Queen Mother said slowly: "I know the old body, and if I can last until Xiao Qi comes back to get married, the old body will be satisfied." ”

Looking at the Queen Mother, Fang Jing opened his mouth and asked, "What about the Seventh Prince?" ”

Shaking his head and letting out a sigh, the Queen Mother said helplessly: "He went to the border pass, and I am afraid that he will not come back until the war is over." ”

"Border gates?" muttered to himself, Fang Jing somewhat understood why there was a holy private seal in the Queen Mother's invitation, I was afraid that it was related to Mobei.
