With Hu Yanjin's IQ, how can he not know that using the empress dowager to suppress the emperor is the next strategy to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself?

But now he can't take care of it, he wants to take Hua Qiao away, and it's a big deal to assassinate Yi Chengjin in the future to take revenge, give up the original, and want to wait for him to make trouble again and punish him with national law.

Even so, it will go against his wish, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", and he is loyal to his father's wishes.

From the moment he decided to stand behind Zhu Zhanji, he was already an unfaithful and unfilial person.

In the Taimiao, Can'er went in to deliver decoction to the buckwheat.

She didn't want to eat anything today except medicine, so she barely drank two mouthfuls of porridge and fell asleep. This will wake up, see Can'er come in, and sit up.

"Eldest princess, are you awake? The medicine is warm, so drink it while it's hot. ”

"Can'er, has Senior Brother been here today? It was his, and I seem to hear him call me. "The buckwheat fruiting medicine bowl and drank it in a big gulp.

Since she still has to kneel, she hopes that she will get better soon.

"Your Excellency...... It was the adults who found out that you had fainted, and he went to ask the emperor for the imperial doctor. ”

Hua Qiao smiled slightly: "I knew that he would find a chance to sneak in, if the imperial brother knew, he would definitely not be able to spare him." ”

Can'er's jaw twitched slightly, looking like she was about to cry, and she couldn't help but say:

"Your Excellency is still kneeling on the snow outside the Wuying Palace, and he said that the emperor will not exempt you from kneeling, so he has been kneeling there......"

Hua Qiao was in a hurry, and she wanted to stand up when she helped Can'er.

Who knew that before she fainted, she had been kneeling for eight hours, and her knees were already in pain, plus she was sick during the blood deficit period, her stomach hurt, and she didn't eat anything, and her legs suddenly weakened.

"You go, you go and tell your lordship, go back quickly, I'm much better, it's been a day, and in six days, I can go back." You tell him that I understand his intentions, don't disobey the emperor for my sake. ”

Jing Yuan walked in, looked at Can'er and said:

"Originally, it was only allowed to be left outside the door, but the medicine was drunk, and the words were said, so you can go out."

Can'er had no choice but to pack up the medicine bowl, reluctantly stood up, and said:

"Hurry up and get better, everyone's worried ......"

Hua Qiao nodded, knelt on the futon, turned back to Can'er and said, "You go and tell Senior Brother that I'm all right." ”

Jing Yuan saw her barely supported body, and said words of comfort to Hu Yanjin, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, he and Jiaxing, if they could be like them, they would have no regrets if they died.

As soon as nightfall, someone came from outside the main hall.

Hearing the voice, Hua Qiao wanted to look back to see if it was Hu Yanjin, but as soon as she moved, it was immediately pitch black in front of her, dizzy, and she lost consciousness without seeing anything.

At this time, Hu Yanjin was also helped into a soft sedan chair by Li He, and Xiao Yan came out and said that the emperor allowed him to rest for three days, and then come back to the court on the first day of the second month of the month.

"Emperor Xie!"

Although Hu Yanjin has only been kneeling for five hours, this is in the snow, if it is an ordinary person, he will not be able to stand it for a long time, except for the stiffness of the cold, he can still bear it.

But at night, the temperature plummets, and if you can survive another night, you will not die or be crippled.

It was also out of this consideration that the emperor accepted the Empress Dowager's suggestion, canceled the punishment of buckwheat kneeling, and also let Hu Yanjin, who knelt outside and used himself to force him.

The Empress Dowager thought about it for a long time, and it was not until her younger brother knelt in front of her that she was relieved.

"You're kneeling for the buckwheat in the Taimiao?"

Zhang Yue said: "It's for buckwheat, but also for Hu Yanjin, I have never seen a person like Hu Yanjin, who can be eloquent and strategic, or chivalrous and tender, is it not worth your rescue for them?" ”

"Prepare a sedan chair, maybe the emperor needs a step down, and the mourning family will go to give him such a step."

Hua Qiao returned to Chonghua Palace, Hu Yanjin returned to Princess Lane, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

The next day, Xu Zhijin hurried to Huyanjin's mansion.

"Early this morning, for some reason, the emperor suddenly replaced all the commanders and commanders of Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei in the palace. Cui Ling of Yulinwei was also put in the border town. ”

Hu Yanjin pondered for a moment and sighed: "I hurt them." The emperor probably found out that we were friendly with the guards, and opened the back door for Hua Qiao to enter and leave the palace. He thought about it and asked:

"What about Zhang Yue? Has he been affected? ”

"It can be regarded as an influence, he will not have the decree of the Empress Dowager in the future, and he will no longer be able to enter the palace at will. Could it be that the emperor doesn't even believe him? ”

"No...... The emperor is scared......"

Hu Yanjin frowned and shook his head: "Yesterday, we forced each other inside and outside to make him realize that although he is the emperor, there will still be people who can threaten him, except for his mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother. ”

"That'...... Isn't the Empress Dowager in danger? There is no need for the emperor to give himself an extra shackle. ”

Both were silent.

"Flower buckwheat...... I wonder how she is? ”

Xu Zhijin said with a smile: "She returned to Chonghua Palace last night, and she should get better." Today, Wan Yan asked to enter the palace to greet the queen, and now he hasn't come back, he should have gone to Hua Qiao, or what do you have to say to the queen? ”

Hu Yanjin nodded and said in a low voice: "After this episode, it will be difficult to see her in the future." ”

"It's okay, if you have something, you can also ask Wanyan to enter the palace, Xi'er has someone to take care of, she is idle when she is idle, it is better to go and chat with Hua Qiao." Xu Zhijin comforted him.

As she was talking, Fang Wanyan also walked in, and she smiled:

"Okay, you two are crooked on the bed, so let us both break our legs. After Hua Qiaoqian finished explaining, let me say in the first sentence: Senior brother, I'm fine, you have to be okay too. ”

She chirped crookedly, and both men were amused by her.

"You're all fine, and our husband and wife are going back to hold our son." Xu Zhijin stood up, put his arm around Fang Wanyan's shoulder and was about to say goodbye, when Fang Wanyan suddenly remembered something and said:

"I heard just now that the Empress Dowager proposed to the emperor today that she would go to Tanzhe Temple to practice on her behalf, and the emperor has approved it. It seems that it will pass after the Spring Festival. ”

Hu Yanjin was stunned, the Empress Dowager is a transparent person, how can she not know the emperor's thoughts? After the wax moon, it is the first year of Xuande, and she, the old concubine of Yongle, will have to come to this point sooner or later.

I'm afraid that when she went to Wuying Hall last night, she had already thought about the matter of becoming a monk.

is worthy of being the daughter of a military general, she is more decisive than the emperor.

Last night, after the Empress Dowager left, the emperor stared at the piece of white jade paperweight in his hand and asked, "Xiao Zhong, in addition to the Empress Dowager, how many old concubines of Yongle are there in the palace?" ”

"I have been buried with a batch, and a few have become monks, and now only the Queen Mother is left in the palace."

"The father of the Empress Dowager has to enjoy the Taimiao, the hero of the country...... Zhang Fu, Zhang Ni, and Zhang Yue are all important ministers of mine, if their sister can still be above me......"

"Wechen understood."

"Don't worry about these days, I still want to have a good New Year."

"Yes."
