"yes, isn't it King Jianning's business. Those imperial historians were eager to point at the old slave's nose and scold, oops, embarrassing. Mother, you're not in the previous court, or else—"

"Or what?"

"Otherwise, they will also suffer a lot of trouble, hey, those people don't speak as well as the old slaves. ”

"Hmph, what did the emperor say?"

"What can the emperor do? The emperor's will is simply the emperor's order, and he was ordered to withdraw from the court early. ”

"But after all, this can get by for a while, but not for a lifetime. ”

Li Fuguo heard that there was something in the queen's words, so he took a pole and let her say it.

"Who says it's not, tomorrow morning, I won't have to be ordered to leave early, the old slave has a headache. ”

"Oh, Lord Li is usually resourceful, how can he be humble this time?"

"Alas, the queen mother praised it falsely. Isn't the most feared thing in this world that a person can't be resurrected after death, who would have thought that this King Jianning would be so unthinkable. When a person dies, there is no proof of death, and those who are entangled and entangled are the most helpless. ”

"Hehe, although people can't be resurrected after death, this hurdle may not be able to be bypassed. ”

"Queen Mother, don't joke with the old slave anymore, do you have any way to save the world, or tell the old slave, the old slave should get out of trouble as soon as possible, and those miscellaneous people in the province are clamoring to resist the harem in front of the emperor. ”

"Hmph. No matter how noisy they are, can they bring King Jianning back to life? How many people have really shed a few tears? It is nothing more than to make a big deal out of the matter and ask the emperor for some benefits. ”

"But right now, when the imperial court can't get any benefits, it's not enough to use all the money to fight, so everyone has to be promoted and get a full of three princes and nine kings, right?"

"Hehe, if the mess is big, we want to give them benefits, but what if the mess subsides?

When the mother said this, the slave didn't understand. ”

"Hehe, you don't pretend you understand. The death of King Jianning is nothing more than some ministers who support him as the crown prince, the soldiers who used to follow him in the former army are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed, and there are some princes and princes who are worried about their deaths. If at this time, a person can be elected to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and everything is settled, and the prince and the king of the county naturally need not say that those who supported King Jianning before will accept it one by one. ”

At this point, the woman finally said the true purpose in her heart, but even if the immediate trouble can be solved by promoting a prince to the crown prince, then this prince must have a certain strength.

The first candidate in Li Fuguo's mind was Li Yu, the king of Guangping. Whether it is to calm the anger of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Luoyang front army, or to resolve the uneasiness of hundreds of officials in Chang'an, he is the only one.

No. No. That's not right. What good will it do to her by electing King Guangping as the crown prince? Could it be that this woman is now going to put her two sons on the stage and compete to be the crown prince?

Her eldest son, Li Tong, was only nine years old, and he was frail and sickly, often bedridden.

The second son, Dingwang Li Tong, is only six years old.

At this juncture, it is too risky to support such two children to compete for the position of prince.

Li Fuguo pondered for a few times, but there was a trace of contempt in his heart, and he continued to pretend to be stupid and asked: "Which prince does Niangniang intend to nominate to be the crown prince? ”

"Huh. Are you deliberately angry with the palace?" Empress Zhang glanced at her lips and said contemptuously: "Although he is the eldest son, her biological mother is not even as talented as the king, and being able to rank as a first-class prince is already the greatest creation in his life, how can he be compared with the children of the palace." ”

"What the queen said is, but which prince do you want to promote?"

"Hey. This is also what makes Hongu difficult. She was originally the most favored by the emperor, but she has been frail and sick for the past two years. As for Dong'er, although it is also from the palace, the emperor has less affection for him after all. ”

"That being the case, the old slave dared to speak out, or recommended King Xing as the best policy. ”

"This-" When Empress Zhang heard this, her face turned from worry to joy, and then to joy and worry, "It's just that the body and bones of the child - this palace is really afraid that he will have a case, won't he give up his efforts?"

"Niangniang, what is the most important thing right now?"

Empress Zhang looked at Li Fuguo and was silent in thought.

The fact that he was able to express his promise to support King Xing so quickly exceeded her expectations was too much. However, King Xing's body, even she, as a mother, did not dare to make too big a bet. What is his intention?

"Niangniang, the old slave dared to make such a suggestion, because of the urgent situation in front of him. The most important thing at the moment is Niangniang's son, who can ascend to the throne of the crown prince, as for the future, there is no need to think about it first. If the king is the king, even if things really come to that point, things will change over time, and then the position of the crown prince will be dedicated to the king, which is also a logical thing. King Guangping was helpless. ”

Empress Zhang listened and nodded vigorously.

When Li Fuguo and He Lanshou came out of Zichen Palace, goose feather-like snowflakes fell in the vast sky. The Daming Palace was covered with snow everywhere.

Now that the treasury is empty, even the eunuchs in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in the palace have been raised a lot. It snowed heavily, and no one cleaned it.

"My lord, did you really agree to her request?"

Li Fuguo squinted at He Lanshou, showed a sly smile, looked at his broken arm again, and told him with love: "Find the best imperial doctor in the palace these days and take good care of your left arm, Xiao Yan'er has agreed to my request to continue the broken arm for you." ”

In Luoyang City, Guo Hua and Dugu Huan, who were waiting for news, were a little impatient.

Five days have passed since the two entered the city, and there is still no news from An Qingxu's side.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the palace and An Qingxu's mansion to find out some news. But when I discussed it with Mrs. Haitang and the Zhang brothers, I was completely opposed. He also sent a magpie to monitor the two of them without falling for a moment.

On this day, it was past noon, and the two were still drinking in the company of magpies. During these days of waiting, the two of them almost spent their time drinking.

Guo Hua is a prodigal person, since he has to wait now, he just drinks happily and waits slowly.

And then there's the magpie to keep you company. Although I already have a crazy girl in my heart, it is also a completely different enjoyment to change to a cold beauty to accompany the wine at this time.

Guo Yu teased her several times, asked her about her origin, asked her martial arts teacher, and even once asked her if she had a sweetheart.

It's just that it's all self-deprecating. Fortunately, Guo Hua was thick-skinned and suffered a lot of white eyes, but he still drank wine with laughter, as if even those white eyes were a kind of enjoyment.

Indeed, some women are very beautiful when they get angry. Magpies are such women.

Dugu Huan couldn't sit still.

After all, he has been walking in Dali Temple for many years, and he has lived in the rules of officialdom for a long time, and people have become rigid. What's more, he is a rigid person by nature.

Although the alliance with Mrs. Haitang and the Zhang family brothers has been decided, this is only the first step after all, and in the end, it is necessary to be able to recapture Luoyang in order to truly complete the mission of this alliance.

It is still necessary to actively promote opportunities in order to achieve the ultimate goal.

This time, the Zhang brothers broke through the siege and transported grain, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity, which can not only arrange for their people to meet with the ** coach for more in-depth communication, but also initially show the true sincerity of both sides.

Although things have been thought out very clearly, and the plan has been memorized in my heart, everything has not really begun, and those things are like ants in a mess, making noise in Dugu Huan's heart.

"Brother Dugu has something on his mind?" said the magpie with a glass of wine.

Some women are particularly infatuated with men who are deep and cold. Even if they don't say anything, they will repeat a lot of dialogue in their hearts.

The magpie was not used to Guo Hua's hippie smiling face, so he simply leaned on Dugu Huan's side and sat down, which has always been like this these days. Even the title has changed from Lord Dugu Huan to Brother Dugu.

"Yes. Dugu Huan smiled awkwardly, "These days, I don't see any news from your master." ”

"Brother Dugu doesn't have to worry, listen to my master, that Sanada Kojuro little pig's head or something, has been planning something with An Qingxu, in order not to make the other party suspicious, my master has to deal with it in a confused way. Brother Dugu Huan, you must calm down, if you suddenly run out at this time, if you are discovered, everything is likely to fall short. ”

"Yes. Dugu Huan nodded deeply, and agreed to the magpie's words.

"Brother Dugu, why don't you ask me why I'm called Magpie?"

"Ahh

"My name is Magpie, but don't you think it's a special name?"

"It's very special, the first time I met someone with the surname Xi, and the name is also good. ”

The surname Xi is an ancient surname of the Chinese people, and one of the famous red faces in history, "Sister Xi", is from the surname Xi.

It is clearly recorded in the "Chinese" as early as the Xia Dynasty, and according to legend, Xia Huan once crusaded against the Shi clan in the country with the surname Xi, and when the Shi clan was defeated, he "entered the sister and was happy with the Shi." "My sister is loved by Ji in every way, and she has grown for seventeen years, and you can imagine her beauty.

"Well, it's a rare surname. But this is not my surname, I grew up with my master since I was a child, and my master's common surname is Xi, so she let me follow her common surname. ”

"Oh, according to legend, Xia Wei has a peerless concubine named Meixi, so your master is also a generation of beauty. Guo Yu interjected.

"Hmph," the magpie pouted, "you big swinger, you don't want to get down to business." Look at the lonely brother. ”

"Is it what you want to say, it's better to listen to it, you have been with us two big men for so many days, and it's boring enough to drink blindly. ”

"Hush. The magpie glanced at Guo Yu again, but continued to speak, "But speaking of my master, she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young, she was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, and treated our senior sisters like her own daughters." ”
