Chapter 123: Aftermath

In the east of the sun, the light swept to the bustling capital, all the civil and military officials stood neatly in the main hall, Puyangxu golden wisp of imperial robes, young and handsome face was not angry, calmly stepped on the steps, sat on the dragon chair, everyone knelt on their knees, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Pu Yangxu's calm eyes stared at them, and he waved his hand and said, "Zhongqing, this time I was able to return safely on the eastern tour, it is the credit of everyone, this morning the dynasty does not discuss government affairs, only talks about meritorious deeds......

A battle for imperial power, all kinds of conspiracies are hidden in his words, and what can't be put on the table, he has his own way to deal with it.

Pu Yangxu has been in power for a long time, and everyone knows that with his accession to the throne, there will definitely be a bloody storm on the temple to compensate for his suffering of running thousands of miles.

But these are not big events, even in addition to the word enthronement into his living room Qiu Yu's notes, the side is all a brush, flip through Qiu Yu's record of Pu Yangxu before he ascended the throne, the number of major events is probably the first year of Jingyou, the fiancée of King Cong left Beijing and eloped, King Cong blocked it, the two fought with fists and feet, defeated and returned, causing a sensation in the world. In the first year of Shi'an, the filial piety period of Cangcuishan in the suburbs of Beijing broke the female ring, the hundred officials criticized, the imperial history was played, the prince was abolished, and the disputes lasted for several months, and the next thing is the current deeds that were solemnly written by Qiuyu - Emperor Yuanxi did not register the original match when he first ascended the throne, and wanted to set up a favorite concubine, and the ministers were in an uproar......

Such feats are still a piece of papyrus, and have not been officially compiled into the emperor's living notes.

Pu Yangxu was busy all morning and night, and he wanted to kick the imperial case over several times, others only knew that he had finally become the emperor, and he was almost exhausted.

He even thought nonsensically, King Cong didn't want to be the emperor, what he said was good for the sake of his beloved woman, but in fact, he must not be willing to bear the burden of Da Zhou, how much power there is, how heavy the burden is...... The state affairs are more urgent to deal with, and the rest can be slowed down and pressed, even King An is temporarily imprisoned, King Ping is also on the way to Beijing, Gongzhou and Dezhou have sent two ministers to the scene to deal with the aftermath.

After gaining a short period of free time, Pu Yangxu had to deal with family affairs.

The courtiers are rewarded, punished, and the next thing is the division of the harem. First of all, the first thing is to solve the funeral of the emperor's biological mother Qi, the edict is naturally not fake in the hands of the emperor, but it will become fake, Yu Gong, once a son of heaven and a courtier, even if it is the will of the first emperor, it is not as big as the current emperor.

The second is that the Qi family was officially honored as the Empress Dowager of Shengci.

Qinzheng Palace takes the road to Ci'an Palace from the West Garden, there is another palace on the way, called Weiyang Palace, Pu Yangxu sits on the slightly swaying step, thinking about the rumors that the late Empress Dowager Zeshi said about the favorite concubine of Emperor Renwu when he was young.

The former master of Weiyang Palace, Concubine De, favored the harem, and the queen at that time treated her like a sister, at that time, everyone was jealous, and the queen did not have it at all, but took it as a pleasure, and over time, Emperor Renwu favored Concubine De more and more, and was not too cold to the queen, until one day Concubine De was sick, very strange disease, and the good end of the foolish smile was not stopped, like crazy. Emperor Renwu was shocked and summoned all the imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him, but no one could solve it. Emperor Renwu is ruthless, but he is true love for Concubine De, and he accompanies him every day, in the hope that she will have a good day, but the more time passes, the more uncontrollable Concubine De becomes, and she will beat people abnormally, even Emperor Renwu is no exception.

After two years, Emperor Renwu was desperate, and slowly stopped going to Weiyang Palace to appeal to the abnormal woman to talk about love, and then a new beauty entered the palace, and the beauty was no less than that of the concubine, and gradually replaced it......

It is reported that before the death of Concubine De, some people saw her dancing under the moon, and some people heard that she often played the piano and sang in the Qionghualou of Weiyang Palace...... Whether this person is crazy or not, no one knows, the most said is that she got better later, but when Emperor Renwu sent someone to question, she deliberately laughed and scratched people.

When the royal palace stopped, Pu Yangxu pinched his temples, gathered his thoughts, and walked to the door of the Empress Dowager's dormitory, who had newly moved to Ci'an Palace, and stood for a while, still thinking about slowing down his thoughts, and the people inside were busy nodding and leading him in.

I haven't seen her for a few months, the Queen Mother has lost some weight, but fortunately, her body is still healthy, the Queen Mother looked at Pu Yangxu who was eating tea, his mannerisms, his eyebrows and eyes, and even his small habit of putting down the tea cup and slightly cocking his ring finger, all of which she was familiar with.

It's just that I forgot when it started, the mother and son are no longer eager to see each other, the Queen Mother didn't see anyone yesterday, and she learned the news that he stayed in Changxinyuan last night, and the taste in my heart was like a blunt knife poking meat. She tried hard to dissipate her emotions, and then comforted herself, probably this is the child who has grown up and will eventually go away.

The mother and son remained surprisingly silent for a short time.

"Don't you have something to ask, why don't you talk again?" The Queen Mother spoke first.

Pu Yangxu's mouth still tasted bitter tea, and his heart seemed to be dyed with bitterness, especially when he caught her determination and composure from the queen mother's posture and expression.

No matter what he asked, whatever he wanted to know, she was ready.

Since then, there have been so many offensive and defensive temptations between mother and son...... Is her power not big enough, and is he not doing it well enough?

"Queen Mother, I don't ask anything." Pu Yangxu smiled hard, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

He used the strange and coercive self-name of me.

The Queen Mother squinted, as if surprised.

"This time I'm here to ask for guilt."

"Shen Tingnian is a woman with a true temperament, and she is usually spoiled by me, which makes her bold to go against her mother," Pu Yangxu shook his head as he said, looking very headache, "I will control her well in the future, and ask the queen mother to forgive her this time." ”

"Do you think the mourning family can't tolerate her?" The Queen Mother smiled inexplicably.

Her tone was not asking rhetorically, but she had already identified Pu Yangxu's thoughts.

Pu Yangxu did not refute or answer.

Queen Mother: "You will soon know that in this harem, without the intervention of the mourning family, what will happen to her Shen Tingnian." ”

"Mother, don't be angry." Pu Yangxu frowned, although his tone was light, he was clearly a little blocked.

"If she hadn't set the date of May 9 for you, it would have been a great achievement, and she would have been sincere to you, would you still be able to see living people now?" The Queen Mother sneered, the reason why she sealed Changxinyuan and let people lock up Shen Tingnian had no intention of hurting her at all, on the contrary, if she hadn't intervened to personally punish her, what would those who had been violated by her interests be crazy, who could prevent it?

"She's just stupid, and if she has the guts to come out, she has to be able to bear the consequences."

Even if she didn't give the order, how many people would do it under her guise, and she would be able to return to Beijing safely thanks to King Cong.

"Queen Mother, King Cong will only return to Beijing after receiving her letter more than a month ago." It is no coincidence at all, the news of Emperor Kang'an's violent death was in the hands of Shen Tingnian and the Queen Mother from the beginning, and she naturally would not sit idly by.

"How do you know she's for you? King Cong really doesn't want to be emperor himself—"

"Enough!"

No matter how good Pu Yangxu's temperament is, he can't stand the Queen Mother's excitement, probably those close to him will lose their scruples, he brushed his sleeves up, "You know that I-"

"I-"

Pu Yangxu wanted to speak and stopped, and the tips of his ears were red.

The Queen Mother looked at him showing a rare youthful embarrassment, obviously she couldn't say anything, she didn't love someone, the young Mu Ai, fiery and sincere, who hasn't been young.

Pu Yangxu noticed her gaze, turned around angrily again, and turned his back to her, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I have made amends for her, and the queen mother will not embarrass her in the future." ”

"Xu'er." The Queen Mother has never been angry, she just used her words to break his position, probably because she is old, she can't see the child pretending to be alienated, even if she knows it's fake, she can't accept it.

When Pu Yangxu heard her familiar gentle tone, his heart suddenly became sour, and when he turned around, he saw the Queen Mother looking at him with a slight smile, and he was stunned for a while.

"Come here."

Pu Yangxu clenched his fist, released it again, and when he walked to the queen mother, he stared awkwardly at the upper of his shoes, refusing to look at her.

The Queen Mother took out a box from her wide sleeve and handed it to him, and when Pu Yangxu caught the box, she raised her other hand to cover the back of his hand and shook it hard, "Take it to her, don't look at it yourself." ”

Pu Yangxu's brows instinctively twisted, "I ......"

"I will work with you to protect her in the future." The Queen Mother interrupted him and smiled softly, "I promise you." ”

"......" Pu Yangxu opened his mouth in disbelief, his heart fluctuated several times, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't say anything in an instant.

She doesn't like Shen Tingnian, she just loves the house and Wu, and never doubts a mother's heart. Especially after experiencing the heavy blow of 'the death of the prince', she was really afraid.

If you can save your son's heart, don't talk about a Shen Tingnian...... The Queen Mother's intelligence and tenacity can make her survive to this day, and naturally she will not lose her only support, her only son, in the second half of her life.

"If you insist on making her queen, I have no objection."

Pu Yangxu didn't expect that the first person to support him to establish Shen Tingnian as the queen mother turned out to be the queen mother, he was stunned at first, and then happy, but he didn't show it too obviously, but he knew that his son Mo Ruomu, his subtle expression changed, and the queen mother also saw it.

"But I won't support it, the Zhao family will assist you wholeheartedly, and this time I did my best," the Queen Mother said, with the current situation, it is impossible for the courtiers to accept the Shen family woman as the queen, not to mention that Shen Tingnian has offended many people, "Meritorious service is not rewarded, it is cold, and the Zhao family is afraid that it is not so easy to explain." ”

"Hmm." Pu Yangxu nodded, "This matter is indeed ...... You need to think about it. ”

In any case, this is indeed a big event after that, and there is no hurry.

The queen mother here won the emperor's relief with her affectionate and gentle skills, and if it wasn't for the fact that time did not allow, she would have to accompany her to dinner.

After the royal horse came out of Ci'an Palace, he walked a long way before arriving at Changxin Garden.

Pu Yangxu was in a good mood but didn't pay attention to the time delayed on the road, but he thought that if Shen Tingnian's body was still not good, he would take it to the Qinzheng Palace and raise it with him.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The elongated singing sound resounded throughout Changxinyuan.

Shen Tingnian had already received the news and led people out to wait, and Pu Yangxu saw her from a distance.

Before the royal snatch stopped, he frowned, "Where do you need to come out and wait, it's not that you are not feeling well......"

"The concubine is willing to wait." Shen Tingnian smiled slightly, and his soft voice ironed his heart more than anything else.
