By April 24, the emperor issued an edict to arrest Lin Kang, who had died by fraud, and confiscated Lin Kang's house, all of which should be confiscated. The reason is that Lin Kang took advantage of the imperial merchants to be shoddy, greedy for good goods, and smugglers sought wealth abroad. The amount is huge, and the implications are enormous. More people who know the rivers and lakes collude with them, and privately raise strong slaves to dominate one side! When he was reported, he was afraid of the law and abandoned his family and fled. Lin Xiao was an official in Beijing and had limited knowledge of his brother's trip. Divide the family property earlier, and go their own way. When the king of Donglin was ordered to investigate secretly, Lin Xiaoju did not avoid his relatives, and his loyalty could be demonstrated, but he was guilty of losing his religion and owe the governor, and he should be fined for three years, and he was demoted and left in his post as a punishment.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it's just a façade to wrap up. At that time, the officials who passed through the interrogation of King Donglin understood that they were secretly investigating some things in the Ruan family, but no one refused to say anything, because the people from the inner palace were involved. Although those who have not been questioned do not know what happened in the previous battle, which mixed officialdom does not understand the truth of listening more and saying less? Moreover, the soldiers and horses entered Sijiu City and did not come out again, as if there was something else going on, which made the officials very frightened.

After that, it was rumored that the concubine's body was gradually healing, and finally turned the crisis into safety, and for a while, the ministers were busy saying congratulations to the emperor, and this time the panic was up and down. After learning about this, it was rare to smile when they saw the emperor, and everyone was relieved a lot.

Lin Xiao knelt in the inner hall of the imperial study of Qiyuan Hall at this time, Yun Xi fiddled with the tea lid and pursed his lower lip: "Lord Lin has suffered recently. ”

"Don't dare." Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "Weichen has received the emperor's grace, so he should be loyal to the emperor!" At the end of March, what he said to the Queen Mother was really helpless, and he asked the emperor to ......"

"I was in the spring of the day, and you stayed in the court. The Queen Mother took the secret letter to you, and you can't help it! I don't blame you. Yun Xi smiled, "Get up and talk." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Lin Xiao got up as he spoke, bending down and standing beside Yun Xi, "That Ruan Danqing has always ignored the Holy Lord and is arbitrary. How many people want him to die? The minister doesn't have that ability, otherwise the minister would have done it a long time ago! He is a scholar in the district and never interacts with the rivers and lakes. Where is the adversary of the great general? It's just that the minister has always been at odds with him, which has led the queen mother to take the minister now! Anyway, now that there is no certificate and no evidence, it doesn't hurt for the Queen Mother to associate Lenovo, the emperor is willing to give Ruan Danqing a good name, and he has already left affection for the Ruan family. The old lady will figure it out sooner or later. ”

"You're smart." Yun Xi looked at him with a smile on his face, and also smiled for a while, "Murdering a first-class master, but it's a big crime to sit down, the Queen Mother now thinks that eighty percent is you, don't you care?" ”

"For the sake of the emperor, the ministers will not hesitate to smear their livers and brains. As long as the emperor and the queen mother are in harmony, what is the minister's own house. Not to mention taking away a jade workshop from the minister's brothers, and resigning from the post of mountain mining, the emperor wants to kick the minister's head as a ball, and the minister is also willing! Lin Xiao smiled, and slapped himself when he got the opportunity. If this face is to be seen by Zuo Hanqing, he must be scolded for being a sycophant again. Lin Xiao and Zuo Hanqing have always been at odds, this Yun Xi already knew, but the two of them have their own advantages, so he doesn't care about general skirmishes. If it's bigger, just pull it again. The emperor and the ministers, how can they let the ministers be harmonious and tied together to overthrow the emperor. In this way, each has its own interests, so that it is easy to control and work for the royal family!

On that day, the king of Donglin said that his house had been burglarized and two streets were sealed. Later, the prince summoned the ministers to see him, and the ministers knew that there must be something in the palace. This is also the minister's fault, the little girl is at home, her mother loves her very much, and the minister is busy with government affairs and never cares about family affairs. But I didn't expect it...... Your Majesty, you know the minister, and the minister doesn't care about the affairs of the relatives in this palace. On that day, the concubine was kind to the minister, and the minister was willing to give her money to spend, and she never thought of mentioning it again! Besides, this matter is not very glorious in the courtier's family, why do you want to find it out and make people laugh? When the minister knew that it was already the first month, he was afraid that his brother would suffer, so he canceled his membership and released him. Who knew that in March, the Queen Mother suddenly asked the minister to read a letter overnight, and the minister had to follow the Queen Mother's wishes. How did you know that the Queen Mother would pull this thing out! ”

"I know you, and it's also because you have the most letters with the concubine, so it's better for you to go around first, so you don't have to worry about it endlessly. The Queen Mother will investigate this matter thoroughly, and she will not believe that the concubine did it alone, and I have to respond to her. She is my queen mother, and I always have to give her an explanation! Besides, at this time, I planned to implement the new policy, but the old man of the Queen Mother did not come forward, and Sun Shouli's gang refused to bow their heads. Stiffness doesn't last long! It's better to take advantage of this time to let Zuo Hanqing lead the troops in, and by the way, bring out those old decays, there are too many people, and it is always difficult to blame. Ruan Danqing has been dead for more than a year, and the Queen Mother just wants to understand at this time. Yun Xi stroked her eyebrows, "Your brother, let him go to Yeluan Country for two years first, and then come back when things stop." As for your daughter, I will think of you well, and I will not do anything to her. It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and then you can enter the palace to persuade her. ”

Lin Xiao knelt down again when he heard this: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, and the ministers will do their best to promote the new policy by the monarch, and never let the emperor down." ”

This old case has been in trouble for a month. In the past month, the emperor has lost a lot of weight. The concubine was foolish, and now she is still recuperating in the Hui Palace, and in late April, after the concubine was rescued by hanging herself in the palace, the whole person was like a change, not that she couldn't remember which, and she asked everything in an orderly manner, but the reaction was half a beat slower, and the doctor applied the needle, and after a while she knew that she was crying pain. When you're hungry, you have to eat, and when you're sleepy, you have to sleep. I don't have the shrewdness I used to have! But I'm not stupid, and I understand everything when I talk about it.

Xinghua can't figure out what's going on, you say she's pretending, right? What's the point of her pretending to be this? When I asked her about the money, she said that she had indeed received it. If it weren't for the fact that it was to escape the money, it would be pointless to pretend! So Xinghua thought about it for a long time, and eighty percent was stimulated at that time, and he couldn't beg for death for a while, so he was a little trance-like. In this way, on the one hand, I feel that I can't stand the emperor, but on the other hand, I think about it, in fact, it's okay, the concubine is happy to live day by day, and it saves Xinghua from being at ease.

Although the case was investigated to the end, Xinghua also saw that the concubine, including Lin Xiao, did have their loyalty, but these two people were not delayed, and the concubine and Lin Xiao were more like father and daughter. By helping Lin Xueqing enter the palace, the two foxes have since been connected. One is greedy for money, and the other is greedy for money. Seeing the opportunity, one got a lot of silver, and by the way, he accepted Lin Xueqing, a stupid person, as the head of the gun, and the other got rid of political enemies and entered the ranks of the big people.

Although the concubine is not as shrewd as usual, she is still safe without these means. The women in the palace are still better behaved after all. The concubine used to have the ability to control the palace, but she was too calculating. Now that she is good with the emperor, she is loyal. If the emperor falls in love with something else one day, she is also a woman, and then she has other thoughts because of jealousy, it is much more terrifying than Lin Xueqing, it is better to be as stable as this.

Therefore, Xinghua was not very concerned about the concubine's illness, so he was treated by Tai Heal, and he was not particularly supervised. However, the emperor was so anxious that he couldn't look like a person, and the family scolded the imperial doctor all day long, making everyone feel like a frightened bird.

Xinghua's mind has been in a lot of mood recently, and the past is unbearable. She is also getting old, and she is in the respect of the Queen Mother, and now she can be guaranteed, but she has endless honor at the moment. My father was dead, but he was finally saved in the evening, and no news reached the court. It's good that the ministers have this ending. Jintai has been in the dynasty for a hundred years, and the people's will is what can be done? If you really want to change the dynasty, not to mention that the ministers are difficult to move, how can you reverse the world?

Back then, even if Wuzong had no way, the kings were fighting, even if the royal family harmed themselves, they were ultimately ruined one by one. Since ancient times, we have paid attention to morality and etiquette. If the teacher is unknown, even if the Chu family fights for itself, it is difficult to shake the royal lineage, let alone a foreign surname? If my father continues to be in power, sooner or later he will end up with a notorious reputation of being a rebellious minister and thief for 10,000 years. My father once sighed that it was so difficult to retreat from the torrent, and it had been held up for a long time, and it was impossible to withdraw at all. She also persuaded her father to restrain his heart, the emperor is getting older, don't always pose as an elder as before, when his face is not good-looking, it is easy to give people a handle. How could it be that my father was fierce all his life, and he always tried to make the emperor unable to come to power, which provoked many enemies in the DPRK and China!

Now it's okay, the Ruan family still has glory after taking off power, as for Lin Xiao, when the emperor is exhausted, he will not escape her palm! The emperor is becoming more and more mature, this is his country, why should he put his blessings and compete with him? Keep him, she will always be the queen mother, with unlimited honor, and the Ruan family will be famous for her through the ages. In the future family book of foreign relatives, the Ruan family is also a loyal minister and a good general to protect Chu, why not do it?

Now that everything in the harem is over, she doesn't want to care about what the emperor does. Now the emperor intends to depose the three dukes, reorganize the cabinet, establish six cabinets, and implement a new policy. The disadvantages of the three publics have a long history. Since the time of the first emperor, there has been this intention. However, at that time, there were often wars in the north and south, and the Quxia process was sometimes tribulated. If the first emperor wanted to rely on the power of his relatives and nobles, he wanted to protect their interests, so he kept suppressing it! Now Xuanping is prosperous, the south is called surrender, and the north is still safe. The first emperor laid the foundation for the emperor all his life, and when will the emperor stay if he doesn't enter at this time?

It's just a while ago, because of their mother and son's suspicion, she has been sitting idly by. An old minister and the remaining relatives of the Ruan family, who have followed the first emperor for many years, how can they allow their son to move Lao Tzu's old law? There are many disputes in the court, the ministers have their own calculations, and the emperor is stable and indecisive, and he wants to stand by. Now that the Queen Mother has gone through this matter, she has figured it out. Then at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he summoned an old minister to enter the palace to be given, moved by the feelings of the first emperor, treated with the respect of the queen mother, and reasoned with the people's livelihood today, and passed through the Jin Dynasty for all generations. Moved with affection, known with reason, feeling the history of the first emperor in the court, several tears, all of them were admired.

Not to small profits, only to the great benefit of the people's livelihood in the Celestial Empire, the Queen Mother is emotional and reasonable, the old ministers are all ashamed, even if the heart is still angry, but the gift of respecting the Queen Mother can not be lost, respecting the Queen Mother is respecting the first emperor, they are all the former ministers of the first emperor, since they should serve the Queen Mother to guard the courtiers, so as to live up to the grace of the first emperor in front of the bed.

Yun Xi was sitting in the imperial study of Qiyuan Hall at this time, and the Dragon Boat Festival Palace was very lively.

Although he was extremely tired to solve the death situation of scarlet in the end, and he was sad and tired, he did not die, but the result was still appropriate. It was this strategy that made the Queen Mother completely understand that when she entered the court, her interests were inseparable from the royal family! Both Scarlet and He saw the weakness of the Queen Mother, that is, he couldn't let go of Ruan Danqing's affairs back then. He also once thought that when the layout was carefully planned and the Queen Mother was reassured, there would be no need for those past sorrows between the two!

The scarlet heart was because of Lin Xueqing's persecution, and it was too late to get ironclad evidence, so he simply confessed his guilt and fought quickly, and took advantage of the Queen Mother's soul to end the matter. Then he has to take over her bureau and protect her, so he can't let the Queen Mother see any meaning of "protection". Instead, it is necessary to slow down the matter and let the Queen Mother see the crux of the matter herself.

Now that the queen mother is helping, the old minister is shaken, Lin Xiao takes advantage of the situation, regardless of his own life and death, he does not hesitate to form a dynasty feud and entangle the pro-party and repeatedly make difficulties. Yun Xi now has two dear brothers in his hands, and he is east of Beihai, so he must rely on Yun Xi to protect himself, so he naturally wants to go on a blind date with him.

The king of Donglin has played three times and resigned from the post of Great Sima. Since the beginning of May, the king of Beihai has ignored the old ministers in his fiefdom to hinder the implementation of the new law of Jitian!

The method of collecting fields is more reasonable and more helpful to the people's livelihood than the rule of tunjing during the period of the first emperor. The king of Beihai Gan let go of thousands of hectares of fields in the north to help the imperial court a priori new law. If it is successful, it will become the desire of the people, and it will be useless to oppose it at that time. Donglin Wang took the lead in resigning, and Gyeonggi was attached to the ** camp. With such a two-pronged approach, a stalemate is about to open.

Yun Xi knows that rigidity and softness are the beginning of righteousness, before he has been using the policy of gentleness, moving with affection, Chen's interests, and knowing the righteousness, and now the queen mother does not respect her identity, but respects her and invites the old ministers. The royal face has been given enough, and if it is old and unreasonable, it will be necessary to take the policy of wind and thunder. When the time comes, he will be captured under a canon, under the bloody butcher's knife, and his liver and gall will be scared! He has been on the throne for seventeen years, seventeen years! He was a child, he had never experienced the East Palace, and he had no time to cultivate his own party. Everything is made under the strong pressure of Da Sima! He looked at all living beings with the rivers and seas in his heart, and endured how much pain he couldn't bear. Now, whoever stops him again will never turn over!

At the end of March, Yun Xi had already asked Zuo Hanqing to transfer troops under the pretext of reviewing Ruan Danqing's matter, which was actually prepared for this time to promote the new policy. The Queen Mother was exhausted in the end, and there was never a right or wrong political struggle. It's also good to dissect this matter so that the Queen Mother can see it clearly, as a woman of the Ruan family, she has done everything she needs to do. But now she is the queen mother of the Jin Dynasty, and she is standing in the center of power of the Chu clan! Although I was exhausted, I was still down-to-earth. At the beginning, he was reluctant to investigate this matter in detail, not because he couldn't find a black pot, but because he didn't want the Ruan family to be too ugly.

Scarlet Heart will tie his life, glory, wealth and reputation to future generations to him, how can he not become a famous king for thousands of years, and be admired for thousands of years? The party plotted to kill, and Enwei rushed to the end. When he is in power, he will try to dominate the world in the north, so that the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty will reach its peak in his Xuanping I! The mountains are green and the springs are clear, and the idle clouds and wild cranes are naturally enviable, but he doesn't have this life. In this case, it will be in this golden prison for future generations to admire, and the golden gate will accompany each other for eternity!

Chang Fu and Xiu Ling had already returned to the Hui Palace, and when he went back, the Queen Mother had already moved to him. Now that the concubine has escaped the death penalty, the two of them will naturally go back.

It's not the first time that Chang Fu has been here, he abandoned himself once last time in Dongwanzi, and Chang Fu obediently went to report the news! This time, it's better, it's even more excessive. Scarlet still knows people in the end, and he is willing to do everything in the past two or five years. But Yun Xi still hates them so much that the roots of his teeth itch, if he hadn't thought that he would still need them in the future, he would have screwed off their heads earlier!

After Yun Xi asked them for questioning, she also learned in detail that before and after the incident at that time, Scarlet Heart caught the Queen Mother off guard in an unsuspecting situation, and she was able to turn the game around so that the chess game could move forward exactly according to her wishes. Chang An committed suicide when the Queen Mother searched the palace, and eighty percent of it was also arranged by the Queen Mother. may have strangled him to death early in the morning, deliberately ordering the little eunuch to report at the time, forcing his heart to mess up! A few days after the embroidery, the Queen Mother secretly executed her, and she was useless.

Chang Fu and Xiuling are more thieves, and they confide in the Queen Mother for a while, and then they talk vaguely, and they carry it for a few days to the emperor back. In addition, these two have some heads and faces in the palace, and the Queen Mother originally wanted to be martyred when she disposed of the scarlet heart, which is relatively clean, unlike the embroidered Chang'an, the ordinary master, if it is gone, it will be gone. Human life is such a worthless thing in the palace, whether it is a master or a slave!

"Your Majesty, it's time to settle for the fourth watch." Wang Chenghai saw that his eyes were in a trance, and he knew that he was worried about the concubine again. For a while, my heart was sour, and I didn't believe it among the people, is there anyone in the emperor who can't be guaranteed, and who wants to live and die is not just a sentence? There are people who hold the world at will, there are things that can't be done, and people who can't be protected! And it is because of this that he hurts more. The emperor was in pain, and Wang Chenghai was also in pain, he felt sorry for the emperor. Now that things can be done like this, it is already the best, Wang Chenghai was still going to send the concubine out of the palace. It's just that now the concubine is pretending to be stupid and naïve, and he doesn't know when it's a head, and he also understands in his heart that the women in this harem can't get it if they are related to the ministers.

Let's pretend for now, and forget it when it fades after a long time. It's just that seeing the emperor like this really makes him feel uncomfortable. The emperor is not delayed at all, but the diet is getting lazy, and the emperor has been moody recently because of these things in the harem, which makes him particularly distressed.

"Change the tea, I can't settle it now." As soon as Yun Xi heard him speak, he retracted his mind and focused his eyes on the fold in front of him. Now Sun Shouli of Wenhua Pavilion is still very happy, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and at this time, he is simply forcing Yun Xi to take him under the knife.

But the first emperor once praised him, and said that the name of the word "Shouli" was not wrong. He has been in Wenhua Pavilion for so many years, and he can be regarded as conscientious, but he is hard to change and pedantic. The system of straight ancestors cannot be violated! This time, he chopped him with a knife, but it fulfilled him to keep the outline. This old man is simply on purpose! He didn't even give the face of the queen mother, so naturally he didn't take him as the emperor in his eyes.

Wang Chenghai listened, and hurriedly changed the hot tea and put it on the table. I didn't dare to look at the things on the case, but I just stood and waited. After a while, Lin Xiao asked to see him outside. He is an important minister by the emperor's side, and he has always been in and out of Qiyuan Palace, Qianyuan Palace and other places without hindrance. So when they arrived outside the door, the little eunuch came over and whispered to Wang Chenghai. When Wang Chenghai saw that it was too early and late, why did Lin Xiao stay in the palace and not go out? Eighty percent of them came to talk about the recent upward events.

For a while, I was afraid that I would not finish talking, and the emperor would not sleep for another night today. He was worried, Yun Xi sat behind the desk and already spoke: "Let him in." Then he glanced at Wang Chenghai, "I know you." The words were faint, but Wang Chenghai's tears were about to fall, and he was about to kneel when he grinned, but Lin Xiao had already bowed his head and approached him, kneeling down in front of the case: "Weichen respectfully invites the emperor to be sainte." ”

"How's the preparation going?" Yun Xi took the tea and took a sip.

"Back to the emperor, Wechen has already followed the emperor's instructions, taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival, and set up a banquet at Wechen's house today to talk to them. Now the Xuanlu Academy, Longan Pavilion, and Zhuyi are all about the same. In a few days, they will be co-branded! When they move within themselves, they follow the trend. It's just that Master Sun refused to come today. Weichen invited a few times, but he was sick. Lin Xiao said cautiously.

"That is, I have the heart to fight me to the end." Yun Xi smiled when she heard this.

"According to Weichen's humble opinion, this person is out of reach and not enough to plan. Now most of his students and children are willing to give up, and they don't let go of him. In the past few days, the attached ones have begun to waver again. It's better to use this to set up a ceremony to sacrifice the new system! Lin Xiao said that he has been acting as a pioneer recently, and now he is co-opting the middle level of various ministries with the intention of causing them to have civil strife. He has always picked everything to do first, and the DPRK and China have already made many enemies. If the new law fails to be pushed and the Conservative Party comes to power again, he will definitely let them buckle the hat of traitor and clear the king's side. So at this time, I have already let it out, and I can't go back and ask for insurance.

Wang Chenghai sneered in his heart when he heard it on the side, he had no ability to do it, and he used the emperor's hand to get rid of people. That Sun Shouli is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and the emperor used him to open the knife, didn't it make a bunch of pedants feel cold?

"The first emperor once praised him, and he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, so I should provide for him in old age." Yun Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and Lin Xiao was busy shrinking his neck, and his back was covered with cold sweat. It's not that he doesn't work hard, he has used all kinds of methods, and the old man is very screwed!

"He's got to be in his sixties this year, right?" Yun Xi said and looked at Wang Chenghai. Wang Chenghai hurriedly responded: "Back to the emperor, Lord Sun will be seventy in the next year." ”

"People are rare in their seventies, so they can be regarded as full of life." He said and stroked his eyebrows. Wang Chenghai looked at him and what he meant, could it be that he was looking for a ballast to kill Old Man Sun? But if he dies inexplicably at this time, he still has to be brought to the emperor's side. This time, it's different from Ruan Danqing's matter. Who would have thought that Ruan Danqing would die at that time. This will be different, how many pairs of eyes look at the emperor. The old man only had to die, and everyone immediately understood, so it was better to chop him directly.

"Lin Xiao, you come." Yun Xi's face was a little weird, and he beckoned him with one hand supporting his elbow and the other.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly came over. Yun Xi stood up, paced down the steps to his side, leaned over slightly and said a few words to him. Lin Xiao listened and nodded again and again.

"Lately, you don't have to worry about him, he should be played, he should be played. Let him make trouble! If you can really drag it out until then, you just have to do it, and it's okay to pass a little. As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, and Lin Xiao bowed and retreated.

Yun Xi squinted at the curtain, Sun Shouli's old antique was very similar to Scarlet Heart in some places. It's not hard to him off at all! Besides, he is in his last years, and he won't do anything about Yunxi at all, it's just that Old Man Sun's time has come. The more you take him, the more he takes himself. Just follow him, and he will block his heart, and the more he blocks, the better.

Yun Xi looked back at Wang Chenghai's eyes flickering, and snorted: "Actually, it's okay, if Scarlet doesn't go through these things, I'm afraid that her temperament will be difficult to change, and then she will have a virtue with Sun Shouli." It's rotten to the bottom! ”

Wang Chenghai sighed in his heart, and remembered it again, he could remember it at any time.

Scarlet Heart has been in the Hui Palace for a long time and has not gone out. In the past, it was good to pretend that Ruan Hui was from a famous family, and her manners were polite and regular, as long as she handled it properly, it was not bad at all. But now it's different, she doesn't really have a fool to be the standard, and she doesn't know what is appropriate. It's just that the reaction is slower, the eyes are closed, and the usual no longer rigid and organized looks serious, so that's it!

Now up and down this Hui Palace, except for Chang Fu and Xiu Ling, most of the others are sent from the Qianyuan Palace. Chen Huaide returned to Qianyuan Palace, and Mo Chengyong also returned to Shouchun Palace. Up and down the Hui Palace, the Queen Mother cleaned up the things that she knew, and those who didn't know anything were transferred elsewhere. However, the ones sent by Chen Huaide are okay, but they are doing some routine work, and the main thing is to rely on Chang Fu and Xiu Ling.

Anyway, she doesn't need to worry too much about it now, let's talk about it first. Now that she is like this, the Queen Mother is even more ashamed of the emperor, and from time to time she also sends servants to come to see her. I don't care if it's true or not, she pretends to be hers.

But this month is really tormenting the dead, and Scarlet Heart didn't suffer much from flesh and skin at the beginning. But she has always been so tender that the queen mother's foot has not been cleaned until now. In addition, the old doctor came to perform needles, and she was bruised and numb. She had to endure it for a while, and then squeaked and screamed in pain, staring at a pair of big eyes and crying, and Xiu Ling was so distressed to look at it! If it weren't for the concubines, the Queen Mother would have packed them up early in the morning and gone to the Lord of Hades! Now that God has opened his eyes, the emperor can be regarded as taking back a city, but the concubine has to pretend to be stupid and stunned to avoid the current sharp edge!

They have been in the palace for a long time, and they know that open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. The queen mother will naturally take care of her relationship with the emperor and will not treat the concubine as such, and the concubine can rely on the holy favor and not mention the past. But the queen mother must strictly guard against the concubine, if the concubine is as shrewd as before, there will be a little wind and rain in the palace, and the queen mother will be difficult to keep it thorough.

Besides, everyone in the palace has a mind, and Lin Xueqing alone is like a cannon fight, maybe when it will collapse, and she is the party! In case she goes out of the way, others will know that the concubine has committed such a crime and will be fine, how can she not be hateful? As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and tigers are hard to fight wolves. In this harem, you can't be careful!

It's better to avoid the edge first, and the temperament of the faction will change greatly for the rest of his life. Wait for a long time, or when the concubine has a child to be around, it will naturally be stable. Although the emperor has locked up Lin Xueqing's confinement at the moment, it is obvious that the Lin family is behind her, and the emperor will not do anything to her. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, after the emperor gave the banquet, he kindly allowed Lin Xiao to go to Changxin Garden in the middle court, and let Lin Xueqing come out to see his father! Xiuling Changfu has not dared to go out to find out the news these days because of this matter, but looking at this meaning, I am afraid that Lin Xueqing will have to be released again in a few days!

The Queen Mother took care of the royal dignity and hid it very tightly. To the outside world, it is only said that the concubine is sick, and now she is still waiting to recuperate. And Concubine Nade was temporarily grounded because of the collision with the holy car! So the palaces didn't know that such a big old case had actually been set off this month!

Scarlet Heart had just finished brewing the medicinal soup at this time, and was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, and as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival passed, the weather became hotter and hotter. She felt extremely difficult to soak in that dried ginger angelica codonopsis soup every day, and she had to eat the medicine prepared by Feng Yichang with rice wine, which made her irritable. Scarlet doesn't know if this method will work, but after this incident, in Yunxi's words, he owes him three lifetimes. Where does Scarlet still dare to compare these truths with him, he can do whatever he wants, and Scarlet Heart doesn't dare to have half a word. But she couldn't conceive for several years before, how could she avoid the limelight and be so lucky this time?

She was in a daze, and suddenly Xiu Ling came and said, "Niangniang, the emperor is coming here." When Scarlet heard this, she got up and asked her to comb her hair. She doesn't go out these days, and her hair is combed very simply, usually in a loose bun. Sometimes it's complicated, and she looks at it and says she doesn't like it, and says it's too heavy. The clothes also began to choose bright and bright colors, but the styles were all simple patterns, and I didn't like to be too complicated. took away more than half of her previous strength of not getting tired of eating and making up.

After the Queen Mother found out, she thought that her temperament had really changed. Even some habits have changed a little, and sometimes the Queen Mother also comes to see her and asks her some things, but she is a little dizzy about this month's events.

The Tao of Taiyi is that the heart is obsessed with blood coagulation, and it is difficult to open it. At that time, she was hanging from the beam, and the purple-black and purple-black on her neck, the Queen Mother was scared when she saw it. Xindao is lucky that she can survive, and everything is as she wants at the moment. Even though she spoke a little upside down, the Queen Mother simply didn't mention it. Talking about the past or something, she knows some of it, but most of it is about the southern tour. The Queen Mother also felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, thinking that coming to the southern tour was her happiest time!

As soon as Yun Xi came in, she saw her standing outside the temple gate to pick up the driver. These days have finally stopped, and she can be regarded as recuperated, but I don't know if it was soaked in medicinal soup or what, her face seems to be a little flushed, and it is very translucent. In addition, she is no longer formal, and she is no longer seen when she sees him, either dressed up old-fashioned or serious, like an old master! After the southern tour came, she was much better, but she was always in the palace, and she was uncomfortable. But after this, she was more open, so that he saw it very pleasantly, he cleaned his hands, took a sip of tea, and looked carefully at her face without speaking.

The scarlet heart made him look a little uncomfortable, and he blushed for a while and muttered: "I don't know what happened recently, the concubine always feels panicked." The Emperor ......"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, looking at her embarrassed face, he was busy with the New Deal these days, and he didn't even have time to drink tea, and now he had to take the opportunity to run back every day to see the "sick number", which made Scarlet feel particularly sorry for him.

"I think this method may be useful, look at your complexion is much stronger than a while ago!" Yun Xi touched her face, lowered her eyes and smiled, "I haven't had time to accompany you recently, you should be more careful in the palace." After a while, let's have a good reunion! ”

She nodded, suddenly reached out and shook his hand, leaned over to his ear: "When the concubine arrives, she will brew a jar of osmanthus wine, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, will we drink together?" ”

Yun Xi laughed when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she bent down and kissed her eyebrows: "Originally, I was so angry, but now it seems." You're not stimulated or enlightened. ”

She became more and more embarrassed, and said softly: "The concubine remembers it now, the emperor can rest assured!" ”

The two gossiped for a while, and Yun Xi was going to go again. He tossed people to death and alive a month ago, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, and he was distressed when he saw it, so he hurriedly asked Xiu Ling to get a few side dishes in the Hui Palace to send him some. In the past two days, although it was said that he was also in a hurry, but when the matter of the harem finally came to an end, he was relieved, so it was just a few small dishes, and he still took two bowls of rice very face-saving before going.

Wang Chenghai stood on the side, and he was happy to see it. On weekdays, the family follows the emperor, how can you see such an obedient way to let you eat? Annoyed with what to copy and throw in his hands, which one dares to persuade him? You have to pinch the time to look at your face, otherwise you will kick people if you are in a hurry. In the end, the concubine is much better, and it also reduces his troubles!

When Yun Xi left, Wang Chenghai saw the right time, leaned over and said to Scarlet Xin: "Niangniang, if you have leisure, go ahead and take a look!" ”

Scarlet was stunned for a moment, and she was not allowed to enter the Qiyuan Palace, but last year, she begged the emperor for an edict, and then invited the ancestral rules to pestle. How could she commit a crime against the wind first? Now that he always runs this way, he is already a very pet, and at this time she has not paid off her previous accounts!

Wang Chenghai didn't have time to say more, he glanced at the embroidered spirit meaningfully, and then ran away with Yun Xi. Xiuling sent someone to clean up the cups, and walked to the side hall with his scarlet heart, mentioning a little scarlet heart as he walked: "Niangniang, what Father-in-law Wang said is reasonable." You think, now that you're sick, you can't even remember the spice recipe sometimes. Although we have changed a lot of people here, some of them are often taken care of. The metropolis is not as good as it used to be! But this man's taste in clothes has changed because of his temperament. Do you say? ”

Scarlet pays special attention to her demeanor and demeanor recently, so even the servants in the palace say that she is not right.

But she doesn't feel the need to be too ruthless, first, she can't learn without a standard. Second, she became too ruthless and unpresentable. Sometimes the reaction is slower, the inflection point of speech is just a little bit of a tone, and some life habits are changed a little. After all, she used to be like this at home! But now Xiuling's words, she also thinks it makes a little sense. But if you really run to the Qiyuan Palace, it's not good, right? The emperor is busy with government affairs now, what fun is she doing as a woman? Besides, the foreign ministers come and go there, and it doesn't look good for her to go.

Xiu Ling saw that she was still detained, and she was very anxious. This time, the three of their master and servant can get out of trouble, and the emperor is indispensable! And Xiu Ling understands, it's useless to be good, no matter how good it is, it's better to let the mother jump to the queen's seat all of a sudden, and rightfully palm the phoenix seal, and the harem has a hostess, and the queen mother can only rest in the Shouchun Palace.

Otherwise, if you are in charge of the harem, even if you only have such a name, it is still different! Madame and concubine are only one level apart, but standing and bending over is also a full ceremony. The queen and the concubine are only one level apart, but the concubine has to kneel!

Now the emperor has worked very hard, and he has come to have a little leisure. After this incident at her own time, the concubine also understands the emperor's heart better, and she smiles at the emperor every day and no longer avoids people. But now is a good time, and by changing sex, I simply go every day. First, let the Queen Mother understand that the concubine's heart and eyes are not as good as before her illness. Second, it can also enhance emotions, isn't it?

"Niangniang, think about it. In the past, you were the most polite and polite, so didn't the Queen Mother also look at it? Now, she has such a thing in her heart. plus the one from the Laiyin Palace, seeing that the concubine did not fall, how could there be a resignation when he turned around? Xiu Ling said softly, her eyes were red, "Niangniang doesn't like to listen to that empty thing on weekdays, but the slave has to talk about it!" Now that the slave and maid have gone through this, they have also thought about it, what is rich or not. Niangniang suffered a catastrophe this time and still thought about the slave and the little blessing, the slave and the maid have been in the palace for more than ten years, and for the first time I felt that I didn't follow the wrong person! After that, the slaves and maids were all in the same place with the mother. Niangniang, to put it mildly, if Niangniang is the queen, which turn is the queen mother in charge? Even if the queen is guilty, only the emperor can deal with it! But if this concubine is guilty, not only can the emperor deal with it, but the queen, the queen mother, which one can't deal with it? The emperor is now of the same heart with you, and he said early in the morning that he would help Niangniang up. But the mother also has to use her strength, how can she always make the emperor hot? In this way, don't say that you can't live with the emperor's heart, just the queen mother's pass, it is difficult for the mother to pass! She doesn't count the emperor, and is willing to help the emperor achieve great things. But you know the queen mother's temperament best, otherwise you and the emperor would not have thought of such a way to avoid it first, do you say? ”

"Bengong's temperament hasn't changed much, but you've changed a lot." Scarlet smiled and looked at her, "However, you're telling the truth!" The palace really didn't have any intentions at the beginning, but just wanted to be the emperor, as long as the emperor was good, the palace was willing. But this palace has experienced life and death, but there is no understanding of death, it is nothing to die, but it is difficult to live hard! Because of the palace's trick, he set himself up, and as a result, the emperor couldn't live in peace for a month and a half. In the future, this palace will never do such a stupid thing again! However, the Qiyuan Hall cannot be visited for the time being. ”

"Niangniang, are you still afraid that people will look bad?" Xiu Ling hurriedly said, "You ......"

"That's second, I just listened to your words and thought about it, it is also a way to use the Qiyuan Hall to prove that the temperament of this palace has changed greatly. But no! First, now that the emperor is busy pushing the new policy, the foreign ministers come and go a lot, and when the time comes, the palace will go to the ground, and the foreign ministers will look at it and say that the palace is down, and that the emperor will not work. So don't go for now! I want people to know that the temperament is different, and the brain is not easy to use, the best place is Shouchun Palace! Scarlet squinted, where did she fall, where did she get up. Both the emperor and she knew this method, which was to start with Ruan Danqing and open the queen mother's heart. Even if she didn't force that job at that time, the emperor would have to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the queen mother sooner or later! She learned this from the emperor, and it is indeed not a long-term solution to hide in the palace and avoid it.

"Huh? Mother, this is too hanging, right? Xiu Ling was scared when she heard it, "You let her see something again, it's better to wait for her to clean up the Laiyin Palace!" ”

"I didn't say I'm going to go, what are you anxious about? In the past two days, you pick a few palace maids who have just entered the palace, and you want to have more vivid eyebrows. After a while, let's go to Shouchun Palace again! Scarlet pursed her lips and whispered.

"Yes." As soon as Xiu Ling saw the scarlet look, she knew that she had an idea, so she stopped talking.

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was June. Recently, the emperor has basically put all his mind on government affairs, Sun Shouli doesn't let go, the emperor simply treats him as a person, he doesn't allow him to go to court, he doesn't pay attention to him when he comes, and Sun Shouli is so angry!

Lin Xiao became more and more energetic, and went to the table one after another, taking advantage of the central gathering, he actually instigated the emperor to start to push the new law in several directly subordinate states, and Lin Xiao personally supervised it. One after another, the emperor dismissed some old ministers of Wenhua Pavilion and Xuanlu Yuan or dismissed or set them up, so that Ming Guangyuan, the right Cheng of Xuanlu Yuan, and Ye Tao, a scholar of Wenhua Pavilion University, gradually ascended to the throne.

Ming Guangyuan, Ye Tao, Lin Xiao, Zuo Hanqing, Sun Kangling, these people are all some rookies gathered in this dynasty, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but the direction of common interests is the same, and they advocate the implementation of the new law. In addition, the backbone of the royal family is in the east, the two kings of Beihai, and the border guards, such as the father of the concubine, have gradually become a climate!

Conservatives such as Sun Shouli of Wenhua Pavilion, Cheng Zhonghui of Xuanlu Yuan, Yuan Kangxiu of Zhuyitang, and Chen Qing, the general of Wujin Dynasty, these old ministers who have followed the emperor for many years, some of them are also old and do not want to lose their old age again. After listening to the Queen Mother's persuasion, some simply let it go, please return to Lin Quan to take care of it. Some of them took the face of the queen mother and let the emperor arrange it. Even if it can hold on, it won't last long.

In mid-June, the emperor grabbed the pigtail of Chen Qing's right general, and someone secretly reported him for corruption. The emperor took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, directly took out the knife rack, and began to kill chickens and monkeys. In the end, more than a dozen civil and military officials were involved, and Chen Qing's right arm was slaughtered in one fell swoop!

At this time, Chen Qing's vitality was greatly damaged, and he was disheartened and closed his mind. Without the support of the military division, it is useless for Wenhua Pavilion to make trouble. Sun Shouli asked to see the emperor as a guarantor for Chen Qing several times, but he was turned away, crying bitterly and uselessly added to his anger, coupled with Lin Xiao's cynicism at every turn, he lost countless old faces, and he was really sick at the end of the month, and his days were short.

The Queen Mother saw that the emperor was cutting the degree of fit, and she had nothing to worry about. But there is one thing she is very troubled about, next year should be selected, before the Dragon Boat Festival will be played, it should have been ordered to prepare locally, but the emperor has been pressing, and now the emperor occasionally comes to the harem and only operates in two places, one is the Hui Palace, and the other is the Shouchun Palace. Coming to Shouchun Palace is to see the Queen Mother, and sometimes let the child come to see.

And on the side of the Hui Palace, the concubine's illness has not improved at all, and the queen mother sees that the imperial doctor can't cure it, and I heard that the concubine's temperament has changed more and more. I used to love to make a flower and plant now, but now I don't get it, I used to be quiet, but now I love to be lively. It's okay to get a few little eunuchs to play tricks on her in front of the palace and behind the palace, she sits and looks happy and slaps and giggles, and behaves very strangely. Sometimes the Queen Mother sent someone to meet her in the past, and when she returned, she reported to the Queen Mother that the concubine had done something today.

The concubine rarely left the palace after the end of April, and it was only at the end of May that she began to gradually become more active. In mid-June, the daily province was resumed in earnest, and when she came to ask for peace, the queen mother also felt that she had changed, and her big eyes were not as stable as before. When he spoke, he was greasy and soft, as if the whole person was still immersed in the happy time of the Southern Tour and it was difficult to get out. The taste of dressing seems to have changed, but there is nothing inappropriate, but I feel that the whole person is bright.

Xinghua thinks that the concubine is not in the way of eating or drinking, and it is also practical to have less calculations. It's just that the emperor sees the concubine like this, and he doesn't feel at ease in the court all day long. And now that the concubine is like this, she can't be reasonable, Concubine De has been locked up by the emperor for more than a month because of this incident, and she was also released in early June.

However, because of this incident, Xinghua and the emperor were very unhappy, so they did not call her a director for the time being, and let Mrs. Jinghua come out to support the situation. But Mrs. Jinghua is the most treacherous, and it is necessary for some people to come to Shouchun Palace to ask for Yizhi, and it is not good to annoy the Queen Mother!

There was such a fuss in March, and it didn't stop until May. How can the Queen Mother have the spirit now, and then she will stare at everything herself? Seeing that Mrs. Jinghua refused to take responsibility, Concubine Xinghua was even more annoyed, and sometimes thought about it, if the concubine was fine, at least she could hold up a situation and take charge of things, saving her a lot of thought. No matter how tricky the concubine is, she just stares more in the harem, and she is not like this Mrs. Jinghua, who can't wait to come to ask Yizhi for big ideas, and she refuses to make a decision at all!

In addition to these two palaces, the emperor no longer walked around the harem, and completely hung up a group of women! When the concubine didn't have an accident, he still went to the palaces to take a look. But now it is like this, but it has increased the affection between the two.

The Queen Mother didn't take it seriously at first, and then she was a little uneasy when she saw the end of June, although the emperor now has an eldest son of the emperor, but a child doesn't know what to do in the future, where can he be guaranteed? Although the concubine is favored, the concubine is also a belly that is not angry, and the emperor is always so obsessed with the withering of the child is also a matter of turbulence to the country.

So Xinghua endured until the end of June, seized an opportunity, and talked to the emperor well, and said countless good things, and finally made the emperor nod and reconsider the election. Because the discussion was a little late, the preparation of the general order to go to the local area to prepare again, so it will be a little late to come over in March next year, so it was simply moved to the end of next spring, so that the officials in various places were asked to prepare and send the women of appropriate age to the palace to be selected.

The emperor was not very energetic about this matter, and the queen mother couldn't, so she had to re-manage it herself. Now that the concubine's temperament has changed greatly, she really can't be a director anymore. So he simply endured it first, wrote down Concubine De's previous accounts, and asked Concubine De and Mrs. Jinghua to help with the cooking.

Recently, the harem has become a backwater pool because the emperor has been hanging them. Concubine De chilled the emperor's heart, and the emperor sometimes ran into the queen mother when he came in, and he had the right not to see her.

The Queen Mother saw that none of the women in the harem could win the emperor's heart, so she secretly scolded them for being incompetent, so she had to put her hopes on the next selection. Since the emperor's pro-government, there have been two general elections in the 12th year of Xuanping and the 15th year of Xuanping. But the first time, I basically considered the foundation of the Ruan family, and the second time, I had to take care of the dignity of each family. In the past few years, the court has changed a lot, and seeing the emperor's heels is also stable day by day. In this third general election, we must choose a few delightful ones!

At the beginning of July, the emperor issued an edict, and various places were busy announcing and registering. At the local level, the primary election will be started first, and then the local government will gather together and then re-elect. The third large-scale draft of the Xuanping Dynasty began to be vigorously carried out again. In this regard, the emperor didn't care at all except for letting people draw up a decree, and the queen mother led Concubine De and Mrs. Jinghua to handle it. The families sent their daughters to the palace to strengthen their foundations, and the royal family used it to achieve the purpose of connecting interests. Since ancient times, the harem has always adhered to such a function. Moreover, in addition to filling the harem, Caixuan is also responsible for selecting in-laws for the clan relatives and nobles and selecting female officials for the harem.

The selection of various details is very cumbersome, and the harem was really panicked for a while because the concubine suddenly fell ill, so that the palaces did not dare to wander around and ask for suspicion. Although this matter is undoubtedly a new pink enemy for the harem concubines, no matter what, there is finally something to do, and it is really lively.

After the Jun Concubine Mo Shi entrusted the eldest son of the emperor to attach herself to the concubine, so as to obtain the status of Mrs. Jinghua, she originally made this move not only win the concubine, but also satisfy the emperor. She has been deeply aware of the essence of her father's golden mean since she was a child, and she knows that the harem is full of masters, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to stand out. But who knew that the concubine suddenly contracted a disease at the end of March, and after a little better at the end of April, the whole person actually changed. Immediately after Concubine De, she didn't know what angered the emperor, so she was locked up for a month, and she was only released in early June.

Mo Shi thought about it carefully, although the queen mother and the emperor were very tight, and no one in the palace dared to pass it on, but she felt that this matter was obviously not just as simple as the concubine's illness. Now that the concubine is not on the council, Concubine De has fallen out of favor, but it is a good time for her to take the opportunity to show her head. Several of her henchmen also repeatedly persuaded her to take advantage of this opportunity to show her talents to the Queen Mother.

But Mo Shida has seen from the incense giving in the first month of last year that the emperor is not just a temporary favor for the concubine. The emperor is simply from that meeting, and he is already ready to support the concubine as the queen. Last year, the emperor took the concubine on a southern tour, and then sealed the concubine's father as the Marquis of Jinxiang, and has intended to improve the family background of the concubine, at the end of last year, the concubine had a miscarriage when she was on the council, and let the concubine's virtue spread to the world, and everyone knows that today's concubine is a woman with both ability and political integrity and filial piety.

I'm afraid that at the end of March, Concubine De was jealous of her favor and hated her momentum. I don't know what I borrowed to bring down the concubine, under the competition between the two tigers, although the two do not hurt each other on the surface, it is obvious that Concubine De has declined. Although I don't know if the concubine is really suffering from hypothesis or pretending, whether it is true or not, it is not a good thing to come out! Therefore, Mo simply pretended to be stupid, everything was decided by the Queen Mother, and he was not willing to show his head at all, just keep an eye on the minions of the eldest son of the emperor, and ignore everything else.

She just wants to live in this palace and have a place to support in the future. It's good for the emperor to look down on her, but he doesn't care very much about her. She doesn't have the means and ability of a concubine to lead the harem, nor does she have the affection of Concubine De, who wants to stay with the emperor, she knows that she doesn't have that life, and she doesn't fight for that point. She just knew early on that entering the palace was fate, and she didn't want to end up with no one in the palace who died of old age. Now that Concubine De has fallen out of favor, her status is still there, and she has been determined to be a villain who tends to be inflammatory, and the concubine is now sick and has no time to cover her. The queen mother is dedicated to the emperor, and the emperor now only asks about state affairs and ignores the harem. So she made her life extremely difficult, and she just wanted to open the election quickly and get rid of her difficulties!
