Duke Pu glanced to the side, and after making sure that there was no one, he sighed and said helplessly: "The Queen Mother has returned to the palace." ”

The two frowned and nodded, "We already know about this." ”

"I just heard that Niangniang is missing, and the emperor has sent secret guards to look for it, but something happened to Niangniang?" Zuo Xiang's brain supplement.

Pu Gonggong shook his head, "Niangniang is fine, not only is she fine, she is in the palace now." ”

The regent was a straight man, and said coldly: "If there is anything, you can make it clear at once." ”

Lord Zuo Xiang also nodded, if you continue to talk like this, when will it be the head?

They entered the palace at the emperor's order, and they had to go to face the saints.

Pu Gong thought about it, told them everything that happened today, and finally told them.

"The emperor wants to make the queen mother the queen mother open at tomorrow's banquet."

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Not only was the left minister not calm, but even the regent had an expression of disbelief.

"This king is going to see the emperor."

The regent was in a hurry, so he threw up his sleeves and left, "It's just nonsense." ”

Zuo Xiang didn't rush to leave, and said to Pu Gonggong: "Are you sure the emperor said so?" ”

Pu Gonggong nodded, "Our family just felt that they couldn't persuade it, so they pulled the two adults in, I hope you can persuade the emperor, this, this kind of thing, which Ming monarch will do it since ancient times?" ”

Zuo Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "The official understands what you mean, don't worry about it first, wait for the regent to persuade the emperor, but you said that the queen mother is now in Chuxiu Palace, so her opinion, the emperor has asked?" ”

Pu Gonggong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Although the emperor and the queen mother met, they didn't say anything superfluous. ”

"You don't have to speak for the Queen Mother, this official is ordered by the emperor to protect the emperor and maintain the dynasty, so such a thing will not be allowed to happen."

After saying that, he walked in the other direction.

Pu Gonggong reminded in the back, "Lord Zuo, that's not the way to Qianyuan Palace. ”

Zuo Xiang has been in and out of the palace all the year round, how can he not know.

The emperor's insistence made the regent furious.

"What you wanted to do before, everyone was up to you, and if something happened left and right, everyone would take care of you if you got into trouble. But now? Are you so ridiculous? ”

The regent slapped the table directly.

The emperor also stood up, very unhappy with his tone, "You let me go, and I also took care of me, and I also listened to your advice and agreed to your choice, and now I only have this one request, why can't I?" ”

"I'm the Son of Heaven, can't I want a woman?"

The regent was furious and slapped the side table at hand directly, "There are thousands of women in the world, why did you choose this one?" What is her charm? How much does it look like for the country and the city? ”

"Even if she's not good at anything, but just one thing, I like it, that's the best."

The emperor did not give in at all, and his tone was-for-tat.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, don't quarrel." ”

Neither of them spoke again, but looked at him at the same time, and their anger seemed to be shifting.

"Get out!"

Lord Zuo Xiang was very helpless, and respectfully stepped forward to salute, and said: "The emperor is angry, Weichen heard that you want to make the queen mother the queen?" ”

The emperor glared, "You also want to object?" ”

Lord Zuo hurriedly waved his hand, "Naturally not." ”

"The emperor chooses a wife, that's the emperor's own business, what qualifications do our courtiers have to object."

The regent was extremely angry, and he came over directly to mention it, and lifted the collar of Lord Zuo Xiang, "You old horseman, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, the first emperor asked this king to assist you with you, and you are like this?" ”

"Cough cough cough ......" Lord Zuo Xiang took in less air and exhaled more, and soon his face turned the color of pig liver.

"You, you let go."

The regent also knew the severity, so he immediately let go of the left prime minister and threw it aside.

Lord Zuo Xiang didn't stand firm for a while, and fell directly to the ground.

After taking a few breaths, he eased up, "I said Wangye, can't you start lightly?" My old arms and legs were thrown by you again, and they had to fall apart. ”

"It's good to fall to death, and the court has one less scourge."

The regent wasn't embarrassed at all.

He snorted coldly.

The emperor was not so angry in an instant, he only thought it was funny.

Seeing this scene, Lord Zuo Xiang patted his buttocks, stood up, and said, "The anger of the two of you is gone?" ”

The two of them instantly blackened, and the regent continued to snort coldly, "This trick comes every time." ”

The Emperor pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lord Zuo Xiang smiled, "Without this trick, can you and the emperor stop?" Every time you two argue, the official will suffer, but he didn't repay his kindness, and he didn't care if he knew that I wouldn't care. ”

After saying this, he turned around, looked at the emperor with a serious expression, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to make the Queen Mother the queen?" ”

The emperor said very firmly: "I like her." ”

Zuo Xiang shook his head, "This is not a reason, you are a son of heaven, you will like many women, and you will fall in love with many people, but these are all premises." ”

The Emperor was distressed and muttered, "I know what to do, but I just want to marry her and keep her by my side all the time." ”

The regent was about to get angry again, and at that moment, Lord Zuo Xiang grabbed his sleeve and shook his head at him.

"Then the emperor, the minister dared to ask, does the mother know your thoughts? Or do you agree with this idea? "Three K

The Emperor instantly became uneasy, "Why doesn't she agree?" ”

Zuo Xiangfang just ran around, although he didn't ask Qiu Jue's meaning, but now that he heard the emperor's words, he didn't know if he wanted to come to the queen mother.

That's easy to do.

So, Lord Zuo Xiang began to give lessons to the emperor, "Of course the Queen Mother disagrees, you see, she is the Queen Mother, and there is only one Queen Mother on her head, all the women in your harem see her, and they all have to bow down, and there is no need to worry about someone plotting to kill her for the throne, let alone compete with any woman for favor, if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to give up being the Queen Mother for the queen's position." ”

"I didn't think about it."

The emperor frowned, he really hadn't thought about it.

"But you say, as long as I want what I want, I will definitely get it."

Lord Zuo Xiang was speechless, you are pretending to be stupid at this time, is it a little late?

"If the emperor insists on making the queen mother the queen, then you'd better ask her what she means."

"Why?" The emperor asked him very seriously.

Zuo Xiang reminded the emperor, "The Empress Dowager is a very thoughtful person, she originally wanted to enter the emperor's harem, but she spent a lot of thought, even Qiu Zhentian couldn't persuade her, Weichen thought, if you want to make her the queen, you still have to ask the mother, otherwise it may be self-defeating." ”

"Especially tomorrow, when a foreign envoy enters the palace to watch the ceremony, if you say that, won't you become a laughing stock for others."

Zuo Xiang can be said to be bitter, and the emperor is really thinking about it.

As a result, he still insisted, "I will seal the girl of the Liu family tomorrow, not the Queen Mother of the West." ”

"You are the girl who established the Liu family, and you should also have a statement to the outside world, and this also requires the cooperation of the Queen Mother."

After two hours of persuasion, the emperor finally agreed to wait until he saw Qiu Jue tomorrow and asked her what she meant, and then made a decision.

This made both the left minister and the regent breathe a sigh of relief.

The crescent moon slanted to the west, and the two walked out of the Qianyuan Palace, looking at the clouds in the sky, both of them were a little stunned.

Then, Zuo Xiang told the regent, "The second prince is back." ”

The regent frowned, "I know about this, do you have other plans?" ”

Zuo Xiang shook his head.

"Since the emperor has chosen the current saint, this official will serve loyally."

Zuo Xiang was a statement, and the regent looked at him suspiciously, "Then what are your plans?" ”

Zuo Xiang sighed deeply and said, "The second son found my house today and asked me to take him into the palace. ”

"You promised?"

Zuo Xiang shook his head, "How is this possible?" ”

"Then why didn't you tell the emperor about this?" The regent frowned, it stands to reason that this matter still has to be known to the emperor.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, Zuo Xiang will be suspected.

"The emperor's mind is now on Niangniang, how can he care about the second son? Besides, the emperor may not want to know the news of the second prince at all. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The regent was a little dizzy when he heard this, "Last year, the imperial court sent people to look for the second prince for a long time. ”

Zuo Xiang didn't explain to him again, pulled him out, and said as he walked: "Don't worry about it, I heard that the envoy of Tanglin will also arrive tomorrow, and the matters to be greeted will be handed over to you, and the old man still has something to do, so he won't go to join in the fun." ”

"What do you say, didn't the envoy of Tanglin arrange for someone to receive you?"

The two walked out of the palace while talking.

At this moment, on the roof, Mo Yi looked at the ten tall and thin children in front of him, frowning slightly.

"Haven't you eaten in all this time? How can you be so virtuous? ”

They were all pale, and they looked like they hadn't eaten or slept for several days, a sign of excessive blood loss.

"Back to the boss, Mr. Ye said that we didn't have a complete task, so we can't eat."

Mr. Ye, that is, Fanye.

Some time ago, these children first went to the dark guard camp to train for a period of time, and then they were handed over to Fanye, which is what the emperor meant.

Mo Yi also wanted to see how this fanye trained the child, but he was coaxed out before he could go in.

"Aren't you guys training? Why are there tasks? ”

Ten children didn't say a word when they heard it.

Mo Yi was a little curious, "Are you all dumb?" ”

"Ask them what they do? Just ask me any questions. "The leaves came on the moon, wearing an ink tights, clean and neat.

Mo Yi looked her up and down, but he was a little more flexible than when he first met.

"Why are you back?"

Mo Yi asked her.

Fanye nodded, "I heard that you want to try their skills, of course I, who is a master, have to come together to be inspected, what, what's the task?" ”

She was talking here, but her eyes were looking down.

Opposite her, there lived the person she wanted to get close to the most, the person she wanted to protect.

But without that man's order, she was not to be approached, let alone appear in front of him.

Mo Yi took her expression into his eyes, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "There is indeed a big matter that I want to ask you for help." ”

"What's the matter? You just say that's it, please see outside. ”

Mo Yi found that Fanye went out for a while, and when he said goodbye, he felt that the whole person was much brighter.

It's no longer as cold as it was at the beginning, and there is no human touch.

This time, again, she felt that everything had changed.
