Mr. Hu made a temporary trip back to Binh Duong County.

By water, it only takes a few days.

There was something important, and he was worried that he couldn't explain it clearly in the letter, so he had to discuss it with Mrs. Yan in person.

Hurriedly returned to Pingyang County, and as soon as they met, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, so he eagerly talked about important things.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid your life will not be long!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was earth-shattering.

Yan Yunge's expression immediately became extremely serious.

"Really? Where did you get the news? ”

Mr. Hu bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "Don't hide it from Madame, just a few days ago, Empress Dowager Tao actually took advantage of the court discussion to rush to the Jinluan Palace and openly declared that the emperor's life was not long.

Although the students did not see that scene with their own eyes, they listened to the description of those present, as if a palace change was about to break out.

Afterwards, the emperor issued a gag order not to spread it out, and Jin Wuwei also acted in all directions.

It took a lot of thought for the student to learn about this from an official who had the privilege of being at the Golden Luang Hall that day.

The student realized that the matter was very important, did not dare to delay, and was afraid that the letter would have an accident on the way, so he rushed back to report to his wife. ”

Yan Yunge frowned slightly, "This matter is true, isn't someone talking nonsense?" ”

The student repeatedly confirmed that this was true and could not be false. I heard that after this incident, Empress Dowager Tao fell ill. His Majesty ordered that the Empress Dowager Tao needed to recuperate, and no one was allowed to disturb the Empress Dowager's cultivation. ”

Bang!

Yan Yunge slammed his fist on the table.

She said loudly: "Your Majesty has been a sick man since he was a child, and when he was in the capital before, I often heard people say that his lifespan is limited, and I am afraid that he will not live for a few years.

Others say that it is already a miracle that he can live to adulthood. Later, the second sister married him, and he seemed to be fine except for being weaker.

I thought that someone was spreading that his physical condition was not as serious as the outside world rumored.

If what Empress Dowager Tao said is true, in the past two years, all of His Majesty's abnormal actions will have a reasonable explanation.

He knew that his life was short, so he wanted to completely quell the dispute over the country's capital and sweep away all threats to the prince. The three county kings are threats, and the Empress Dowager Tao is not a threat. The decision to summon Shi Wen into the court was also explained. ”

"Madame, what shall we do now? If Your Majesty really lives soon, then everything Your Majesty is doing now is paving the way for the prince to ascend the throne. He has already issued an order to summon Ling Changzhi's class to return to the court, and at the same time summon Shi Wen to the court, and to use Master Cui Zhi Cui again. The students thought we had to plan ahead. ”

Yan Yunge was silent, her brows furrowed, obviously she was also struggling and hesitating.

"At present, we are using troops against Beiliang, and all counties need enough troops to garrison, so the strength is really tight."

"Madame is trying to pass up this great opportunity?"

"Mrs. Ben knows what you want to say. Taking advantage of the imminent death of His Majesty, he brazenly sent troops south to seize territory. In order to stabilize the court and pave the way for the prince, His Majesty may choose peace talks. It's just that if Xiao Yi is allowed to withdraw his troops from Beiliang and go south, it will disrupt all deployments. ”

Mr. Hu frowned, "Madame really wants to give up this opportunity?" Or is it that the lady is willing to give up this opportunity for the sake of the queen and the prince's nephew. ”

Yan Yunge's eyes gathered, and he looked particularly fierce.

Mr. Hu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "The student has no form, he said the wrong thing, please forgive me." ”

"Mrs. Ben emphasized for the last time that the relationship with the Southern Wei Dynasty should not involve the queen and the prince. If the prince does not ascend the throne and become emperor for a day, he is not on our list, remember? ”

"Students remember. The student just felt unworthy for his wife. ”

"Nothing is worthless. Doing something and not doing something, Mrs. Ben is a principled person. The reason why you and Mr. Ma took refuge in Mrs. Ben is because Mrs. Ben is principled and never implicates the innocent. If Mrs. Ben breaks through the bottom line, wouldn't it be the same as Liu Zhang. Will you still be willing to run and shout for Mrs. Ben? ”

"Madame's lesson is that it is the students who are blinded by interests."

Mr. Hu sincerely apologizes.

He claimed to be a student in front of Yan Yunge, but in fact, he was much older than Yan Yunge, and he was already a member of Bensi.

He encountered a wall several times in the previous decades, made no achievements, and encountered Liu Zhang's tyranny, which made him decide to come to Pingyang County to seek refuge with Yan Yunge.

Mr. Ma and his experience are similar, and the only fortunate thing is that the Ma family supports Mr. Ma's decision.

Mr. Hu went south alone, and it was obvious that his family was against his decision.

Yan Yunge is now a veritable prince.

But in the minds of the majority of families, they still don't recognize her and don't recognize her.

The biggest factor may be because she is a woman.

The world is prejudiced against women, how can a good man condescend to a woman to do things and be embarrassed.

is willing to survive under the hands of Liu's father and son, and refuses to work for Yan Yunge.

...... in this regard

Yan Yunge never forced.

She wants people who willingly follow her, not people who have two hearts.

Others refused to take refuge in her, so she cultivated talents by herself.

So far, she's on the right track.

It is better to count on others than on yourself, and this is a wise saying at all times.

She finally chose to give up the great opportunity of Emperor Xiao Chengwen's life soon, and refused to send troops south, not only Mr. Hu felt pity, but Mr. Ma also felt pity.

Mr. Ji agreed.

"Madame can keep her promises, do something and not do something, this is magnanimity."

Yan Yunge smiled bitterly, "If the rumors of this matter go out, I'm afraid that people outside will laugh at Mrs. Ben for being a stupid person, and if she doesn't take advantage of the great opportunity, she will go to attack Beiliang bitterly." ”

"Madame has never cared about the opinions of outsiders. Madame only does what she thinks is right, and as long as she doesn't regret it, there's nothing to regret. ”

"Thank you, sir! I don't regret this decision, I'm worried that Yat Siu will think differently. ”

"Madame, don't worry, Gongzi is a clan relative, before the north and the south were unified, in his eyes, Beiliang was the real enemy. And, as Madame said, the Southern Wei Dynasty was orthodox in the eyes of the people of the world. Our rash dispatch of troops to the south is tantamount to confirming the reputation of rebellious ministers and thieves, which is not conducive to future plans. ”

"Sir has a point."

"Everything the old man said, Mrs. has already made a decision. Madame wants to open some. ”

"I will."

……

The news that Emperor Xiao Chengwen was destined for a short time, Yan Yunge did not hide it from his mother Xiao.

It is about the second sister, as well as the future of her nephew and niece, and her mother Xiao should know the truth.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Shi was very flustered, and as soon as she heard about this, she suddenly felt that the six gods had no master.

"The emperor is really going to die soon, your second sister has never interfered in court politics before, and the prince is young, how can she stabilize the situation?

I am afraid that the civil and military officials of the court will be able to devour their mothers and children alive.

Moreover, there is also a Empress Dowager Tao above her, as well as a Empress Dowager Zhong. These two queen mothers are like 100,000 mountains pressing on their heads, how can they get it! ”

"Don't worry about mothers. The emperor could not have thought of the problems we could have thought of. Unless he doesn't care about the aftermath, he will definitely clear all the obstacles for the second sister and the prince. Otherwise, how could the three county kings pass away unexpectedly one after another. ”

Pingyang County Lord Xiao's face turned pale, "You mean that the deaths of the three county kings are all the emperor's handiwork?" ”

"Now it seems that he is the most suspicious. He knew that his life was short, and the battle for the country was vigorous, and the three county kings had to die to completely settle the dispute over the country. Clear the way for the prince to succeed to the throne. ”

"This ...... Then I, if I don't propose to go north to worship my ancestors, will the three county kings still be alive? ”

"Impossible! Their fate was already sealed. ”

Xiao turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears.

She sighed, "I don't know what to say anymore." Blaming the emperor, it seems that there is no position. Pity for the three county kings, and it seems that there is no position. Hey......"

"Mother don't sigh. Think of the good in everything. ”

Xiao shook his head, "Empress Dowager Tao is a hurdle that your second sister can't avoid." If the emperor dies, with the means of Empress Dowager Tao, he will be able to suppress your second sister to the death.

The prince ascended the throne at a young age, and he had no ability to resist. Just thinking about it, I'm worried about your second sister.

Your second sister needs reliable and trusted people to support her in the court, and the emperor would rather summon Shi Wen into the court than call you or Xiao Yi into the court, why is this? Aren't you worthy of your second sister's trust? ”

"My mother misunderstood my second sister. I think the second sister should have no say in the matter of who to summon into the court. This matter should be His Majesty's decision. It is clear that His Majesty is willing to summon Shi Wen to the court instead of me, because His Majesty does not trust me. ”

"Why don't I trust you? Speaking of trust, Shi Wen is even less credible. ”

Shaw was worried.

Shi Wen is her son-in-law, but she has never trusted Shi Wen.

An ambitious minister who wants to seek benefits from the king of Bushan County is one step away from rebelling and mutiny.

Yan Yunge patiently explained: "After all, Shi Wen has been the prime minister, and he still has a little face in the court, and he can also hold the scene. Using Shi Wen to suppress Ling Changzhi, this move is not wrong.

And I, a woman, summon me to the court, who can I suppress? Who will listen to me?

I have no foundation in the court, and I am a woman, so I seem to be very reliable to help the second sister. In fact, in the court, my influence is not even one-tenth of Shi Wen's. ”

Xiao Shi said eagerly: "How can you be arrogant. Over the years, your achievements are obvious to all. The courtiers see you as a threat, which shows that your influence is extraordinary. ”

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "Mother, I am in Pingyang County and I am in the court, it is different. I am in Pingyang County, and I am a local minister and a god of wealth, so the court is suspicious of me.

Once I enter the court and become a courtier, then I have to abide by the rules of the court game, and my influence is greatly reduced in an instant. Moreover, Your Majesty has already made a decision, and I do not intend to meddle in this matter. ”

Xiao Shi panicked, "What about your second sister?" A Empress Dowager Tao made her breathless, the persecution of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this is to force their mother and son to death! ”
