Chapter 1220: The Unwillingness of the Empress Dowager Qian of Xiaozhuang (16)
"Empress Dowager Qian? Who's that?
Yingzong, is he the same generation as the Empress Dowager Zhou? ”
It has been seventeen years since Qiao Mu left, so it was normal for thirteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao not to know.
"Yes, although Empress Dowager Qian has no blood relationship with Emperor Xianzong, she is indeed Emperor Xianzong's mother-in-law and Emperor Yingzong's wife.
For many years, the Empress Dowager Qian has been living in Yuling, in order to facilitate the development of power, although the Empress Dowager Qian may not be particularly satisfied with you, but after all, she is old and has no energy to continue to wait for the next generation.
So only choose to help you. ”
Qiao Mu continued to manipulate the robot to explain.
Zhu Houzhao pondered and recalled for a while, and finally pulled out a little memory from the depths of his mind:
"Oh, I seem to have a little impression.
I have heard it said, but because I have never seen it, I quickly left it behind, I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Qian still had the task of Emperor Yingzong, no wonder she always had to leave the palace.
Master, I can take the liberty of asking.
Where did you come from?
Also, what is Yingzong's last wish? ”
"I, naturally, was the man left by His Majesty Yingzong to the Empress Dowager Qian's forces, and His Majesty Yingzong's last wish was nothing more than that he was a little unwilling to accept the changes in the civil fort back then, and at the same time felt that he was at a loss.
Originally, His Majesty Yingzong wanted to gradually work hard to restore the armaments of various places and sweep away the shame, but His Majesty Yingzong did not expect that the sky would not be a holiday, and His Majesty Xianzong was obviously not interested in this aspect.
Therefore, His Majesty Yingzong handed over his remaining hidden forces to the Empress Dowager Qian, hoping that the Empress Dowager Qian could help him fulfill his last wish.
In the past few years, the reason why the Empress Dowager Qian has not appeared is that the power in her hands has not developed enough is one of the reasons, and the lack of suitable auxiliary objects is also one of the reasons, until His Majesty appeared.
This gave the Empress Dowager some hope.
Your Majesty, don't worry about our conspiracy, there are some things that you can ask Zong Zheng yourself.
There's no need for us to lie to you. ”
The forces she developed will be used in the future, so she revealed the source of the forces in advance, indicating that some of these forces were left by Emperor Yingzong, so that it would be more logical for those forces to appear.
Don't be suspicious.
Although Zhu Houzhao couldn't believe whatever his master said, he didn't question it anymore, but just nodded by default and said:
"So Yingzong wants to be ashamed?
It's just like when Li Shimin signed an alliance with the Turks, he developed his strength and stored food, and then completely defeated the Turks.
I didn't expect Yingzong to have such ambitions.
Isn't this in line with my dream of being a general?
Then do you have soldiers, teacher, didn't you say that the armament of the Beijing camp in the capital is sluggish, almost like construction workers, building houses for Xungui and others everywhere, and there is no combat effectiveness?
Do you have strong troops?
I'm still going to train on my own! ”
Zhu Houzhao said that the armament of the Beijing camp was slack, referring to the fact that the city guards in the capital had almost no training since the Chenghua period, but were driven by the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou and others to build mansions and palaces for them to do things for enjoyment.
As for why these people are used?
Anyway, the soldiers on the Jingying side must be supported by money, and there is no war, so in order to save money for hiring people to build the palace, they simply use these soldiers as construction workers.
Sounds like a good deal.
In fact, it has led to almost all the current soldiers in the Beijing camp becoming vulnerable, not to mention comparing with the border army, and some family members may not be able to compare.
But they can't be blamed for that.
If they don't train all day long, let them go to work on the construction site, who can have any combat effectiveness?
"Of course there are strong soldiers.
You'll also be able to receive command at any time.
But these have to wait for you to succeed to the throne, otherwise you just want to get out of the palace, and you can't do what you want to do, so how can you lead the troops?
There are some things that I can't tell you now, and I can't tell you the specific forces, but what I can tell you is that the power in charge of the Empress Dowager Qian is definitely far beyond your imagination.
It may even exceed Yingzong's imagination, I'm afraid that even His Majesty Yingzong couldn't imagine that Empress Dowager Qian would have such a talent in the way of business. ”
Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself, and Qiao Mu is still very skilled in doing this kind of thing, and she is not shy and blushing at all when she praises herself, of course, this is mainly because she does have the confidence to boast so much.
If she wants to have one hundred and eighty people in her hands.
No matter how thick-skinned you are, you don't dare to boast like this.
"Really? That's great, too! ”
Zhu Houzhao has long wanted to be a general like Huo Quai, and even the idea of driving the expedition in person, but he has never had the opportunity, and now when he heard his master say that they have soldiers in their hands, they can also lead him in the future.
I couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
Then he alarmed the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the palace, and one of the eunuchs began to knock on the door softly and asked in a low voice:
"What happened to Your Highness?
Can a slave come in? ”
"No, I had a good dream, I'm just a little happy, you are not allowed to come in, you know?
I'm going to go back to sleep. ”
Zhu Houzhao also knew that he was a little out of control just now, so he hurriedly responded, and at this time, Qiao Mu saw that it was getting late, and delaying it would indeed delay Zhu Houzhao's sleep time, so he immediately whispered to him, and then manipulated the robot to leave here quickly, and activated the stealth function before the other eunuchs and palace maids saw it.
Although Zhu Houzhao was a little disappointed, he couldn't continue to chat, and he couldn't know more information.
But it is clearer that he will have to listen to the lectures of the Taifu and the Young Master tomorrow morning, and if he does not get enough sleep and dozes off in class, he may have to be accused of going to his father's side again, and then he is afraid that he will be nagged by his father for several hours, so he will be entangled for a while, and then he will quickly go back to the house to sleep.
lest you wake up tomorrow without energy.
The next day, Qiao Mu still arrived there on time, and continued to instill some new knowledge in him, revealing a little bit of power in his hands, and so on.
However, it didn't last long.
Because March is coming soon.
Qiao Mu had to spend more energy to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager Zhou's side, waiting for her to die, and saving Zheng Jinlian when she secretly executed her before she died.
For this reason, Qiao Mu even asked his bionic robot to take a few days off from Zhu Houzhao.
Qiao Mu didn't lie to him when he asked for leave.
Just tell him directly.
I'm going to save your birth mother.
and also took the opportunity to explain to him the thoughts and intentions of the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Zheng Jinlian is his biological mother, even if they haven't had much contact with each other, Zhu Houzhao obviously doesn't want to see his biological mother killed.
So there is no reason to disagree.
and even willing to cooperate more.
Together, they helped his master to rescue his own mother.
