Chapter 30: The Blank Edict (1st Update)
"What do you guess I heard in the gazebo in the back garden today?"
Let him make every time he speaks inscrutable for her to guess, and she will also play tricks on her.
"You promise you won't guess."
Fu Tan put a piece of braised pork that had been thrown back to the plate by Fu Yi Ran into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and opened his mouth unhurriedly.
"Shu Jieyu persuaded the emperor not to abolish the queen."
Fu Yingran gasped, his eyes wide open, "How do you know?" ”
Fu Yan was amused by her frightened expression, and there was a faint softness on Fu Yan's unsmiling face.
"I was around at the time, but you didn't see it."
This reason reasonably soothed her heart.
She also thought that his eyeliner was all over the corners of the palace, and that she was under his surveillance all the time, which scared her a lot.
There are so many secrets, and they are too mysterious, and they always feel unpredictable.
Fu Eze didn't like this feeling very much, but she found it interesting, which stimulated her desire to challenge.
Someday I'm going to dig him out.
"Why does Shu Jieyu want to help the queen? I heard that the two have been at odds with each other, and she should be happy that the queen was deposed. At this time, it is already a noble character not to fall into the well. Is it to fight for a good reputation of being tolerant and generous, putting the country first, and serving the country and the people? ”
"Maybe it's just one aspect."
He replied to her as he ate.
"The queen's grandfather has entered Beijing, and he should soon enter the palace to face the saint."
Fu Yingran pondered the meaning of his words, she had heard from Tian Guangfeng that the queen's grandfather was in the community and was quite prestigious......
"For the sake of the face of the Marquis of Che, the emperor may be soft-hearted and keep the queen's throne?"
Looking at the pair of eyes waiting for an answer, Fu Chen paused and said, "The Marquis of Che has a blank edict from the first emperor. ”
"Blank edict?"
Fu Yingran was so shocked that he almost bounced, covering his mouth full of surprise, and his whole face was full of four words of disbelief.
"This ...... The emperor trusted the Marquis so much that he gave him such power? ”
The blank edict of the former emperor, isn't it a random request made by the marquis, and the current emperor must obey it unconditionally.
This is no longer as simple as an edict, it means that the Marquis of Che can re-ascend to the court at any time with a blank edict, control the court, and even appoint the throne......
It's unimaginably powerful.
What a lot of trust it must have to give him something so important!
And the blank edict is undoubtedly a huge threat and hidden danger to the emperor.
"Not many people know about this blank edict, but everyone who should know knows. When Chehou returned to Beijing this time, everyone was speculating whether he would keep the queen with this blank edict. The Empress is his only descendant. ”
Fu Yingran stared at Fu Chen's lips one by one, ruddy and light, with a hint of evil arc.
"What does the blank edict have to do with Shu Jieyu's intercession for the queen? Could it be that she also knew that this edict existed, and knew that the queen would definitely not be abolished, so she simply interceded for the queen, sold her a favor, and gained a good reputation by the way? ”
He leaned on his head and was noncommittal.
"Perhaps. After all, Shu Jieyu's father was a personal soldier of the Marquis of Che, and later abandoned martial arts and literature. It was not surprising that she knew that the edict existed. ”
Fu Yingran was not surprised at all, and he knew so clearly about such a secret and influential matter as a blank edict.
Maybe even if he said which concubine stole the man last night, and which eunuch stole the palace maid's buttocks, she would only sigh lightly, indicating that this was a normal phenomenon.
He can even find out the secrets of the court, and what secrets in the harem can be hidden from him.
"I only learned today that the Twilight Kingdom is at war, and the emperor even went to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings."
Furtan began to act on his omniscience again, explaining to Fu Yingran.
But this matter should be too ignorant of Fu Yingran.
The battle between the Twilight Kingdom and the Fuyi tribe has been going on for nearly two months, and the war is getting worse and worse, five cities have been breached, and all the food, cattle, sheep, livestock, clothing, fur and other winter things in the city have been looted.
Since the beginning of winter, the northern grasslands have suffered heavy snowfall, the largest snow disaster in decades, countless livestock have froze to death, food is scarce, and the living environment is harsh, so they have launched a robbery against the twilight country.
Almost every winter, the Fuyi tribe will loot the border city of the Twilight Kingdom due to lack of supplies, but this year's scale is particularly large, and it has directly developed into a battle.
not only robbed things, but also occupied the city, and even let the wing-bearers enter the city to live, to see if the posture was ready to retreat to the grassland.
They are going to declare war on the entire Twilight Kingdom!
"The battle situation is so tense, this time is really not suitable for the ...... of the queen"
Fu Yingran suddenly stopped, and suddenly thought of something.
It is impossible for the emperor not to understand that the abolition of the queen at this time will only cause turmoil in the twilight country, make the people uneasy, and make the situation worse.
Even if he doesn't like the queen anymore, he won't be willful and impulsive at this juncture.
But he did it anyway, and with a tough attitude, isn't it...... Is it to force Chehou to take out a blank edict to save the queen?
As soon as this idea came out, the more Fu Yingran thought about it, the more likely he felt.
It is impossible for the emperor not to know the blank edict that even Shu Jieyu knows.
This edict was like a knife hanging over the emperor's head, threatening his imperial power at all times.
Rather than waiting, I don't know when the knife will fall and where it will be cut. It's better to take the initiative.
The empress is the only heir of the Marquis of Che, and it is extremely likely that the edict will be used in order to protect her granddaughter.
……
Fu Yingran went to Fukang Palace to ask for peace according to the hour as usual, and followed the palace maid into the main hall with a familiar car, the queen mother was writing in front of the bookcase, and Mama Xi stood on the side to study ink for her.
"I'll do it."
Fu Yingran took over the position of Mama Xi, grinding the ink skillfully, and did not disturb the Queen Mother.
On the rice paper, there are heroic verses of 'reporting the meaning of the king's golden platform, and carrying the jade dragon to die for the king'.
The penmanship is generous and strong, and it doesn't look like it comes from a woman's hand, showing domineering.
This is the momentum and mind of the empress dowager who has been in power for ten years!
The Queen Mother put down her pen, and then saw that the person who studied ink had become a fumig, and smiled softly at her.
"You can write a few words too, and let me see how your calligraphy goes."
Fu Yingran smiled modestly, "Where can I talk about calligraphy." Then I'm ugly. ”
Mama Xi re-laid a new piece of rice paper, and the paperweight pressed down on both sides.
Fu Yingdye dipped the pen in ink, thought about it, and silently wrote "Spring Greetings".
Sitting calmly and elegantly in front of the bookcase, his eyes are focused, and his strokes are smooth and free, like fluttering butterflies without restraint.
The Queen Mother nodded again and again in praise, "The pen is full of ink, the handwriting is beautiful but not the atmosphere, free and easy without losing the solemnity, self-contained, excellent!" ”
"The Queen Mother praises falsely."
Fu Ying was so praised that she was still calm, and she was not shocked by honor and disgrace, so that the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at her twice, and her eyes were deep.
"I didn't know your handwriting was so good. His Majesty has been busy and exhausted recently due to the war on the frontier and the abolition of the post-abolishment period, and the attendants who serve the pen and ink are always making mistakes, and there is no one to talk to them. Dyeing, why don't you go to the Xuande Hall to serve His Majesty's pen and ink? ”
The alarm bell rang in Fu Yingran's heart, and he took a deep breath.
She didn't do it, she just ran to see the emperor's face in a leisurely life, no!
