Xu Kangdi was relieved, relieved, and the person passed out.

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

That night, Emperor Xu Kangdi held the hand of the imperial concubine and died. This man, who has a mixed reputation in the history books, has finished his life. Later generations praised him because he expanded the territory of Great Xia to the maximum, and later generations accused him because he favored a woman in the last few years of his reign, built a lot for her, hurt money and worked for the people, and even because she unjustly killed many loyal ministers.

No matter how future generations judge, his death at this moment is indeed a fatal blow to this war-torn dynasty.

The funeral was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, the whole process was solemn and sad, and after the coffin was stopped for half a month, the prince was sent to the imperial tomb and buried with the former queen Xu.

One month after Emperor Xu Kang's death, the crown prince ascended the throne, and later known as "Emperor Shun".

The first thing Emperor Shun did after ascending the throne was to honor the imperial concubine as the imperial concubine, and on the grounds that the imperial concubine had a deep relationship with the first emperor, he sent her to the filial piety tomb to guard the tomb of the first emperor.

Tang Feng knew that it was a matter of time, the new emperor would not allow her for a long time, how could he allow her to sit in the harem and enjoy the honor of the imperial concubine? Naturally, the farther away the better.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Chengqian Palace was packing up the belongings and luggage of the imperial concubine, and suddenly heard that His Majesty had arrived, and they all went out, and a young emperor strode in. The palace people in Chengqian Palace were in a trance, such a scene, as if the first emperor was still there.

Naturally, the emperor in front of him is not as good as the first emperor, and he will not have a good face for them.

Tang Feng sat on the main seat of the main hall and did not move, in terms of seniority, she was the emperor's elder, and the emperor gave her a salute.

Emperor Shun walked in, looked around at this luxurious palace, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "I didn't expect that you would have today." ”

Tang Feng pinched the Buddha string in his hand and didn't make a sound, he was just a child who had not yet reached the age of ten, and it would be disgraceful to win the fight with him. But Emperor Shun obviously didn't think so, he and the former empress had lived in the shadow of Tang Feng for too long, and today's scene was what he dreamed of, how could he let it go easily.

"Xiaoling does not have the luxury of the concubine's palace, I don't know if the concubine will get used to it." He rarely called her mother, and he was in a good mood today, so even the word "mother" that he couldn't shout for a long time suddenly became smooth.

Tang Feng said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I am used to living anywhere in this palace." ”

Emperor Shun stepped forward, sat on the chair next to her, turned his head to look at her, and saw that her face was unfazed, I don't know if she was pretending to be forced or really didn't care.

"Mother, you should be born in Xiaoling and stay in the tomb of filial piety, guarding the gate for my imperial concubine. Especially my mother, she has always been timid, and she must be relieved when her mother goes. Emperor Shun raised the corners of his mouth, an eight-year-old child, it is really a quasi-child to tie people's hearts. He just wanted Tang Feng to watch the door for his mother, to look at the tablets of his father and mother, and to reflect on how much he had done to be sorry for the former queen over the years.

If Tang Feng has a small belly, I'm afraid he will be on fire immediately. Fortunately, his arrangement is very much in line with her wishes, she is tired of staying in this palace city and wants to change the world, Xiaoling is good for any mausoleum, she would rather deal with the dead.

But at this time, she couldn't express that she was too satisfied with this arrangement, otherwise the little emperor would definitely regret it. What to do? Pretend to deceive the children!

"The whole world belongs to Your Majesty, does Your Majesty still want to fight with the women of this palace? If you look at the situation outside, your enemy is no longer the main palace. Tang Feng turned his head, and the corners of his mouth pulled out an arc.

Emperor Shun frowned, he knew that what she said was right, he was now sitting on the dragon chair, he was the lord of the people, and he would no longer face his own selfish desires but the people of Li in the future. This is also the reason why he can let Tang Feng go so easily, let this woman survive the remaining fifty or sixty years in the filial piety tomb, how can she endure the silence of the filial piety tomb so much, how can she endure the daily plain clothes and Buddhist scriptures.

"Mother, let's reflect on the sins you did in the first half of your life in Xiaoling. One day, you will guard the mausoleum with peace of mind, and don't think about it. He let out a mocking smile and walked away.

Tang Feng didn't move, she looked at the young emperor's high-spirited back, and thought of the first emperor who had stepped out of this threshold countless times. At that time, he was also so ambitious, swallowing mountains and rivers.

Her enemies are gone one by one, and the motivation that has supported her for more than ten years is gone. In the future, I have been in the past, and I have been prosperous, so be it.

——

On the third day of October, the two carriages left the palace, and with them left the glory of the Tang family's favorite concubine.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Xu Zhong held the new tea and put it on Emperor Shun's desk, and reported to him that the imperial concubine had left the palace.

Emperor Shun glanced at the teacup, then raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him, "Gonggong Xu, you grew up watching me." I ask you, do you favor me between me and the imperial concubine? ”

Xu Zhong immediately expressed his loyalty, and said, "The slave is naturally loyal to His Majesty, and he will never dare to have two hearts." ”

"Okay, the first emperor was right to leave you to me." Emperor Shun said with a smile, "Then you go first and spread the news of the imperial concubine's departure from the palace, there are many people who want her life, and I don't need to do it myself." ”

Xu Zhong chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect the little emperor to have such a scheming. He looked up cautiously at the little emperor, who said with a smile, "I did swear in front of the first emperor, but I don't believe in gods, Buddhas, ghosts and gods, I only believe in the present world." ”

Then, he added, "Tang's crime cannot be executed publicly, otherwise it will be unfilial to the first emperor, and I have no choice but to make this decision." ”

So that's the case, he asked Tang Feng to go to guard the mausoleum, not because he wanted to be out of sight, but because he wanted to drive her out of the palace and use people outside to do it. The palace is heavily guarded, and Tang Feng has been operating in the palace for several years, and it is not easy to start. Besides, he has a long-standing grudge with the Tang family, and it is easy to cause suspicion if something happens in the palace. It's different outside, there are so many people who want to attack Tang Feng that all he needs to do is expose her to the sword.

Emperor Shun smiled, just like Empress Xu's eyes, which were smug and flying.

Xu Zhong lowered his head and said obediently, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

After he left, Tan Qiu'er, the little eunuch who had been serving him, stepped forward, removed the new tea, and changed him with a new cup of milk.

"Qiu'er, did you say that Xu Zhong would report to the Tang family?" Emperor Shun asked, touching his chin.

Tan Qiu'er is fifteen years old this year, and he has been serving Emperor Shun since he became sensible, and he is one of his most trusted confidants. Emperor Shun's plan was aimed at both Tang Feng and Xu Zhong, and he wanted to see if the people around the first emperor could be used by him.

"Your Majesty kills two birds with one stone, which is really wise." Tan Qiu'er has been immersed in calculations since he was a child, and he has his own city, he said, "According to the slaves, even if Chief Xu used to be biased towards the imperial concubine, he should know who to be loyal to now." If he didn't even have this bit of eyesight, I am afraid that he would not be able to serve in front of the first emperor for more than 20 years. ”

Emperor Shun said with a smile: "I hope that he will go to ventilate and report the news, so that he can be justifiably removed from his position as the chief manager and driven to the cold palace to sweep the floor." You can also taste the sweetness of being the head of the house. ”

Tan Qiu'er walked around to him and knelt down, and said, "The slave doesn't dare, thanks to Your Majesty's love for the slave can accompany Your Majesty, as long as the slave is a dog of Your Majesty, don't dare to ask for any position as the general manager." ”

Emperor Shun shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Who doesn't want to be an official? It's just that the time has not yet come.

At this time, Xu Zhong was hesitating in his heart, he was indeed the eyeliner of the imperial concubine, but now that His Majesty had given him the opportunity to stand up, should he continue to be loyal to the imperial concubine? Now that the little emperor is famous, he naturally does not dare to offend. But the number of paragraphs of the imperial concubine ...... With all due respect, the little emperor may not be able to catch up if he is ten years older.

With Xu Zhong's scheming and the city government, he can naturally see that this is the little emperor's test for him. passed, continued to be his steward. If not, there will naturally be a "good place" for him in the palace.

He raised his eyes, and the square was empty, just like his state of mind at the moment.

"Master, why are you standing here?" Not far away, I noticed that the little round on this side ran over with a broom.

Xu Zhong came back to his senses, and after seeing his dress and the tools he was carrying, he frowned, "Why did you come here to sweep the floor?" ”

Xiao Yuanzi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's useless, it's embarrassing for you, master......"

Xu Zhong understood, once a son of heaven and a courtier, even a eunuch is the same. The little emperor naturally has his own henchmen, and he, the chief manager of the mighty inner palace, is actually difficult to deputy.

All of a sudden, he had a decision in his heart.
