"The Queen Mother really wants to know who chose me?"
Nonsense!
Empress Dowager Tao wanted to know too much.
She knows that her son has not been in good health since he was a child, and it stands to reason that the authority of the commander of the Nineteenth Guard will not fall into the hands of the eldest son.
Unless......
Xiao Chengwen pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't hide it from my mother, it was the emperor's grandfather who chose me and personally handed over the Nineteen Guards to me." ”
"Impossible! How old were you at that time? ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Tao counted the time, she decided that her eldest son had deceived him.
Xiao Chengwen shook his head slightly, "I don't have a word of falsehood, it is true that the emperor's grandfather chose me." ”
Empress Dowager Tao covered her heart, "How is it possible?" How could Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping appoint you as the heir of the Nineteen Guards when you were so young? You deceived Hongu. ”
Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, "I don't know if the queen mother remembers, one year I was seriously ill, and the imperial grandmother felt sorry for me, so she took me to the palace to recuperate, and I raised it for about three months." In fact, for those three months, my son has been being evaluated. After passing the examination, the emperor's grandfather appointed me as the heir of the Nineteenth Guard. ”
Unexpectedly, so early, Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping chose his eldest son as the heir of the Nineteen Wei.
And she, as a mother, knows nothing.
She laughed, "You have been hiding from this palace for so many years!" You're ...... At that time, how old and how old were you, and you could keep a secret? ”
Xiao Chengwen said softly: "If I couldn't keep the secret, I would have died of a serious illness at that time." ”
Empress Dowager Tao was shocked, and her face changed.
She took a deep breath and calmed down, "You tell this palace, does your father know about this?" Does your father also know that you are the heir of the Nineteen Guards? ”
Xiao Chengwen pondered for a moment before saying, "In the last two or three years of my father's reign, I should have guessed the truth. ”
"Since he guessed your identity, why does he still not treat you so much and refuse to accept your opinion?"
"Why did the queen mother ask knowingly. Of course, my father was afraid and suspicious. Suspecting that everything that has happened is deliberately guided by the Nineteen Guards. I have to say that my father's prejudice against the Nineteen Guards is too deep, if he is willing to trust me, the situation may be different. ”
"Hahaha......"
Empress Dowager Tao laughed loudly, and her heart suddenly became happy, especially happy.
After laughing, she said, "Of course your father won't trust you!" Who made you hide it from the beginning and refused to reveal the truth. If you confess your identity when your father ascends the throne, and the Nineteen Guards are sent by your father, your father will naturally trust you and reuse you. Maybe even the throne will be handed over to you. Hahaha...... You are conceited and clever, but you are clever. ”
Xiao Chengwen is very frank and calm.
What the throne, what trust, can't touch his heart.
He said calmly: "The queen mother is wrong! As a member of the Nineteenth Guard, the most important requirement is confidentiality. The ability may be insufficient, but as long as you can keep the secret, you can still become a member of the Nineteen Guards. This is also the fundamental reason why Nineteen Wei has survived and will continue to survive over the years.
Today, I confess my identity to the Queen Mother, and soon, there will be a new heir to the Nineteenth Guard. At that time, everything in the Nineteen Guards will be hidden in the shadows again, and even I won't know about it. ”
Empress Dowager Tao was choked and uncomfortable.
She covered her heart, "You tell Bengong honestly, haven't you ever thought about the throne?" You never thought about being an emperor yourself? ”
Xiao Chengwen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe there were." When I was sure that my body was not going to get better, I didn't have such thoughts. ”
And so it was!
What a result!
Hahaha......
Empress Dowager Tao laughed loudly, laughing so much that tears came out, "It's this palace that misunderstood you." I didn't expect you to be untouched by the throne, hahaha......"
She couldn't stop laughing, and the more she laughed, the more uncomfortable she became.
After a long time, the laughter has faded.
She asked him softly, "Have you chosen an heir?" ”
Xiao Chengwen shook his head, "I can't comment on this matter, please forgive the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Tao smiled knowingly, "This palace knows!" You can rest assured, from now on, this palace will not be willful and let personal feelings blind you. The palace will do its best to help the emperor and govern the Great Wei River. You don't hesitate to reveal your identity to remind this palace, and this palace naturally wants to accept your feelings.
When you step down from the Nineteenth Guard, remember to inform the palace. The emperor, let's continue to hide it from him! As you said, if he knows who you are, he will be irritated. ”
"Thank you for your understanding! I won't disturb the queen mother's recuperation and say goodbye! ”
"Wait! When your father killed the princes and kings of the world, why didn't you stop it? ”
"How does the Queen Mother know that I am not hindered? However, my father was bewitched by others, and he insisted on going his own way, and he couldn't stop it! The Nineteen Guards are not omnipotent, at least they can't influence the will of their father! ”
"Killing Situ Jin, did the Nineteen Guards secretly facilitate this?"
"The queen mother misunderstood the nineteenth guard again. The Nineteen Guards were not assassins, and did not aim to kill. Nineteen Guards only do the right thing. If Situ Jin was given death, it was the right thing to do, then the Nineteen Guards had no shirk of responsibility. If Situ Jin's death was a mistake, Nineteen Wei would never move a finger against him. ”
Empress Dowager Tao looked confused.
So Situ Jin died, did the people of the Nineteen Guards secretly provoke the emperor?
The first emperor gave Situ Jin the death, which caused the family officials to oppose the imperial power, and the two sides fought to the death.
In order to deal with the emperor, the family did not hesitate to support the anti-thief, and the anti-thief took the opportunity to sit big, and it has not been completely eradicated until now.
It can be said that killing a Situ Jin triggered a series of messy things in the future.
Situ Jin is such a scourge!
first bewitched the emperor to kill the princes and kings of the world, and then he was given death, and he did not stop when he died......
It can be said that a series of changes in the situation in the court in the past few years have all relied on Situ Jin alone.
He is like a thread, leading the court to an unknown end.
Empress Dowager Tao tried to ask, "Why didn't you stop your father from giving Situ Jin the death in the first place?" ”
Xiao Chengwen said solemnly: "Nineteen Wei does not have three heads and six arms, and it is not omnipotent. The queen mother doesn't have to be tempted anymore, that's all I can say. ”
With that, he bowed down and turned to leave.
Empress Dowager Tao was a little unwilling, she didn't even ask a little bit of substance.
She knew that her eldest son was the commander of the Nineteen Guards, what about the others?
Who else is in this palace, who is the Nineteenth Guard?
Young Eunuch Mei was also taken down, and she didn't even have someone to talk to relieve her boredom.
It's infuriating!
Syllable!
She slapped the table.
The imperial power concession, first cut and then played, is like a sharp sword hanging above her head.
She believed that if she hadn't been the queen mother and mother, her eldest son would have ordered her to be executed as the commander of the Nineteen Guards.
This made her creepy, and her life was not guaranteed at all.
What to do?
What to do?
……
Two days later, Young Eunuch Mei was sent back to Changle Palace.
Unscathed, but in a very poor spirit, as if greatly stimulated.
Empress Dowager Tao asked him what he had experienced, and he was also in a trance, and he couldn't tell clearly.
When he learned that only two days had passed, he cried like a child.
Finally experienced the taste of the aftermath of the disaster.
Finally back to normal life.
Empress Dowager Tao was frightened by the appearance of Young Eunuch Mei, and no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered to lift Princess Chengyang's grounding order.
……
Princess's House.
Princess Chengyang was lying crookedly on the Luohan couch, looking sick.
The servant hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, good news, great news!" The ban was lifted in the palace, and Her Royal Highness could enter the palace to visit the queen again. ”
Princess Chengyang sat up from the Luohan couch suddenly, in good spirits, how could she look a little sick.
The appearance of being sick before daring to love was all pretended to be shown to others.
She asked eagerly, "Is it that the emperor has lifted the lockdown?" ”
"It seems that the Queen Mother has lifted Her Highness's ban on foot."
"How is that possible?"
Princess Chengyang didn't believe it.
"Empress Dowager Tao is such a face-saving person, and in just a few days, she will take the initiative to lift the grounding order. What tricks is she playing? Do you want to humiliate Hongu again? ”
It's no wonder that Cheng Yang is suspicious, it's really that Empress Dowager Tao's move is too abnormal and confusing.
There was no head and no brain, and the lockdown was suddenly lifted.
Before daring to love, he ordered her to be grounded and not allowed to step into the palace, was it because it was fun?
It's so deceitful!
The servant asked, "Does Your Highness want to enter the palace to visit the queen?" ”
Of course, Princess Chengyang wants to enter the palace, and she dreams about it.
But she restrained her desires.
"It's not busy! Hongu is sick and has to be recuperated for a few more days. ”
She wants to see what tricks Empress Dowager Tao is playing.
Especially to find out why Empress Dowager Tao suddenly changed her mind and lifted the ban.
……
Empress Dowager Tao is sick!
It's a real illness, not a pretending illness.
The doctor said that she was so angry that she was too worried before she fell ill.
Therefore, it is necessary to relax and recuperate with peace of mind.
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi went to Changle Palace to visit her.
She took the emperor's hand, looking pitiful, "These days, this palace has caused a lot of trouble to the emperor, don't blame this palace." ”
"The queen mother is serious! Princess Chengyang meddled in the harem, which was already wrong. The queen mother ordered the grounding, and she was not wrong. The queen can understand it too! And I have already planned to let Cheng Yang suffer for a few more days, and then I will be the master to lift the ban. It's just that I didn't expect that the queen mother rushed ahead of me and took the initiative to share my worries. ”
Empress Dowager Tao's eyes were moist, "The emperor doesn't care about the actions of this palace, and this palace is very pleased." There is no need to worry about this palace here, the emperor can deal with military affairs with peace of mind, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous era as soon as possible. You have to be confident that the situation will get better. The palace heard that the Shaofu tax has increased slightly this year, and the business income has doubled. ”
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi was full of smiles, it was rare to have something that made him happy.
"Exactly! Zhong Yuma is worthy of being the God of Wealth, and he has been in charge of Shaofu for one year, which has completely changed the dilemma of Shaofu's lack of money and food. This year, there is a slight surplus to support the war in the north, and there is certainly no problem. Several armies also thought that the autumn harvest had passed, and it was necessary to organize a major counteroffensive to kill Wuheng's spirit, and it was best to kill all their cattle and sheep, so that they would have no food for the winter. ”
