After another cup of tea, Zheng Miao's wife, Mrs. Xiao Qin, also arrived.

She was politely invited by Qiu Yizhi's special order, so the sergeant in charge of handling this matter did not dare to be rude at all, found a light sedan chair, and respectfully carried her into the palace.

But when this Mrs. Xiao Qin heard the news of her husband's death, she was already heartbroken, and she fainted several times from crying along the way, and when she saw Qiu Yizhi's face, the tears that had just dried up poured out of her red and swollen eyes that looked like two peach pits, and cried: "Uncle, was my husband really killed?" ”

Qiu Yizhi has been the most intimate with Zheng Miao, the third brother, since he was a child, and even with his third sister-in-law, Mrs. Xiao Qin, is also very respectful.

Mrs. Xiao Qin was accustomed to Qiu Yi's cheerful and optimistic and somewhat frivolous appearance, how could she have seen him look so sad, and she didn't need to ask again to guess that her husband had indeed been killed, and she didn't catch her breath evenly, and fainted on the ground.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly got up and wiped his tears, and was about to reach out to help, but remembering the great defense of men and women, he quickly retracted his hand, and pointed and called a few palace maids and eunuchs who had just been driven out of the queen's bedroom, and asked them to help Mrs. Xiao Qin into the "Lizheng Palace", and passed on the pulse of the imperial doctor.

At the time of this chaos, Mrs. Qin's father, Qin Guangyuan, was also invited. Qin Guangyuan is the emperor's in-laws, but he did not share this wealth and prosperity, but the same group of literati and all day long, and found a high mountain on the edge of Luoyang City to live in semi-seclusion.

Therefore, he was the last to enter the palace, but he still had a group of famous people on the shelf, and said to Qiu Yizhi with his hands behind his back: "Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness Yi, I heard that the queen Youyi summoned me to the palace, I don't know what kind of thing happened?" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that the people had already arrived, so he didn't go to pick up Qin Guangyuan's words, and only said: "Since it is the queen's decree, it is naturally a very important matter." Mr. Qin, please go in and say hello to the queen mother first. ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi let Qin Guangyuan into the "Lizheng Palace", and he followed in.

Qin Guangyuan has in-laws with the queen, and he will go to the "Lizheng Palace" to talk about family relations with the queen during the New Year's holidays. But when he entered the palace today, he saw the queen and Mrs. Xiao Qin hugging their heads and crying, Mrs. Da Qin sitting on the Xiudun on the side silently wiping her tears, while the two grandsons Zheng Chao and Zheng Qi knelt in the hall and were silent.

When Qin Guangyuan saw such a scene in the house, he only felt extremely strange, and first gave a big salute to the queen, and then received a salute from his daughter and grandson, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know what kind of big thing happened to make the mother so sad?" Is it that my two grandsons who don't grow up have made my mother angry? ”

The queen didn't answer, and pointed to Qiu Yizhi, who was standing behind Qin Guangyuan, and said, "I can't say this, let's call Yizhi to say it." ”

Qiu Yizhi came to speak, listened to the queen's instructions, arched his hand, walked in front of everyone, and told the cause and effect of the matter to the people present again.

The queen and Mrs. Qin sobbed again when they heard this sad thing, and the two brothers Zheng Chao and Zheng Qi, who were kneeling on the ground, bowed their heads and were silent, but Qin Guangyuan was the first time to hear such a thing, and he was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Qiu Yizhi waited for the crying of several women in the palace to gradually extinguish, and then said: "Zheng Xin, this thief is a big rebel, and he can't help but send troops to fight." However, 'the country cannot be without a king for a day', and now the question of who will inherit the unification is in front of us. ”

He paused, coughed lightly twice, and continued: "Fang Cai Niangniang has made a decree to gather the righteous people of the world to crusade against Zheng Xin, and has determined the candidate for the new successor emperor——"

When everyone heard Qiu Yizhi say this, they stopped crying at once, making the air in the entire "Lizheng Palace" seem to be as quiet as if it was frozen.

Listening to Qiu Yizhi clear his throat again, he walked to Zheng Qi, who was kneeling timidly in the corner, stretched out his ruddy fingers, pointed to his head and said, "It's you!" Zheng Qi! ”

When Zheng Qi heard this, he opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Qiu Yizhi with a look like observing visitors from outside the world, as if he didn't know this "uncle".

Qiu Yizhi didn't like Zheng Qi in the first place, and he supported him as the emperor, but there was no way to come up with a solution, so looking at Zheng Qi's crying face, covered with snot and tears, Qiu Yizhi's heart was indescribably disgusted and disgusted, and replied angrily: "It's you, why don't you crawl over and thank your imperial grandmother for her virtue?" ”

Zheng Qi realized that he had jumped over the head of his brother Zheng Chao, who was in front of him, and became the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

He was searching his stomach and wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but he heard Qiu Yizhi say again: "Zheng Qi, let me ask you, what do you think of your father Zheng Xin killing his brother by killing the king?" ”

Zheng Qi was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about how to answer this tricky and harsh question, when he suddenly saw his brother Zheng Chao next to him jump up, pointed at Qiu Yizhi's nose and scolded: "My father didn't commit rebellion, and the person who committed rebellion was none other than you, Qiu Yizhi." You led troops to loot the palace without permission, and you broke into the palace with troops without permission, and you committed an unpardonable crime in yourself. ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled coldly, suddenly raised his foot, and kicked the angry Zheng Qi on the stomach, so that His Royal Highness, who had always been pampered, squatted down with his stomach covered, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth disobediently, and he didn't know what he was scolding.

Qiu Yizhi saw that he was an eyesore, and shouted to the soldiers who came to the door, so he carried Zheng Chao down.

So the silence in the "Lizheng Palace" returned, but Qiu Yizhi stared at Zheng Qi again and asked, "The question I asked you just now, have you thought about how to answer it?" ”

Zheng Qi raised his head and looked at Qiu Yizhi innocently, and shook his head again.

Qiu Yizhi sneered: "What? Don't dare to speak ill of you? Well, I'll fulfill you! ”

When Zheng Qi heard this, he thought that Qiu Yizhi would not force himself to express his position anymore, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Qiu Yizhi actually say word by word: "From today on, Zheng Xin will not be your father; From now on, your father is Zheng Miao, His Royal Highness the Third Eunuch. ”

Zheng Qi didn't react for a while, but his grandfather Qin Guangyuan figured out the doorway first, took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness Yi, this is not good." Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, this is the ethics of saints. How can you just change someone else as a father? ”

Qiu Yizhi sneered again: "What a 'monarch, minister, father, son', good 'sage ethics'." Mr. Qin might as well calculate, among these four ethics, has Zheng Xin ever seen one and a half? Zheng Qi wants to be the emperor, how can there be a father like Zheng Xin who is not as good as a human and beast? ”

Although Qin Guangyuan has not been an official in his life, he is also a serious reader, and Qiu Yizhi's words still can't reverse the obsession that is deeply rooted in his heart, and he said: "Can it ...... can change the paternal line at will like this, no matter how you say it, you will lose money on the avenue, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid that this throne won't be imprisoned, right? ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't expect that no one present objected, but it was Qin Guangyuan, who had the farthest relationship, who was entangled with him here, so he said, "Isn't the throne imprisoned?" It doesn't matter. The Han Dynasty has been inherited for nearly three hundred years, and the number of descendants of the branch is not counted, and there are always those who want to sit on the throne and go to prison. It's also very convenient for me to send someone to invite one over. ”

The queen, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and said, "Qiu Yizhi, what are you going to do?" Is such a major event as supporting the emperor that you, a courtier with a foreign surname, should encroach upon? "You know, no matter how Zheng Qi is, he is also the queen's own grandson, and after being called emperor, the queen is undoubtedly the "empress dowager" can still dominate the harem, but if you find a so-called royal family outside who doesn't know the origin of the emperor, then the variables are too big.

"Why shouldn't I trespass?" Qiu Yizhi retorted unceremoniously, "Don't hide it from the queen." Before my third brother died, he had ordered me to act as the superintendent of the country and exercise all the powers of the prince of the superintendent country. The identity of the former general Dai Luanxiang, the left general Wei Hu, the Jinghai general Li Shengjie, and even the Bohai State Zhongshun Wang Dali Khan were all recognized. The so-called 'Sheji is important, the monarch is light', I support the new emperor for the sake of Sheji, and the government and the opposition all support it, so naturally there is no talk of the word 'transgression', which the queen should pay attention to. ”

The queen was nervous when she heard this, but she didn't expect that the Qiu Yizhi in front of her would win the support of so many people, and she was already a supreme minister who was full of words and high achievements. And not to mention, he still has more than a hundred battle-hardened warriors in his hands, nominally in the name of the prison country, guarding outside this "Lizheng Palace", as long as he gives an order, he can rush in and force the people present to do everything Qiu Yizhi wants them to do.

The queen's dignity was finally ruthlessly suppressed by the gravity of reality, and she sighed secretly, but instead went to persuade Qin Guangyuan: "Mr. Qin, Zheng Xin has indeed done the evil act of having no monarch and no father. The main palace will also issue a decree to remove his position in the clan. Zheng Qi is a person who wants to be the emperor, it is not a glorious thing to have such a father after all, and now it is his blessing to be able to recognize Zheng Miao as his father......"

Qin Guangyuan heard that the queen had already nodded, and it was meaningless for him to insist on it here, so he also lowered his head and sighed, and stopped talking.

So a smile rose at the corner of Qiu Yizhi's mouth, and he said to Zheng Qi, who was prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty, now the third brother Zheng Miao is your father, and the third sister-in-law, Mrs. Xiao Qin, is your mother. What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to Mrs. Xiao Qin? ”

Zheng Qi, the "emperor", had no choice but to kneel and crawl in front of Mrs. Xiao Qin, kowtowed three times, and called out vaguely: "Mother." ”

Qiu Yizhi stood aside, but he really heard Zheng Qi's words, and he was also sincerely relieved, walked to Mrs. Xiao Qin's side, and said in the most gentle tone possible: "Sister-in-law, from today on, you are the emperor's mother, that is, the current queen mother." In the future, you will have to worry a lot about the affairs of the harem. ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi left everyone and walked alone outside the "Lizheng Palace", and when he came back, he had a few documents full of words in his hand, only to hear him wave these pieces of paper in the air, and said: "This is the decree I prepared for the queen, in order to be cautious and proper, please review it." ”
