In an instant, Queen Yan Yunqi's whole body was tense, and her fingers were so stiff that she couldn't move.

She opened her mouth to speak, but it was as if someone had choked her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

It seemed that after a century, I finally heard her voice, trembling with fear and sorrow......

"Really?"

It seems to fall down at any moment, and it will be stimulated to die at any time.

The cruelty of reality overwhelmed her.

Maybe in the next second, she will fall into a coma and never wake up again.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

He stared into her eyes, "For now, I don't need to hide it from you. Yes, I did want them to die. If their mother and son do not die, you and the emperor will definitely encounter a tenfold fierce struggle for the capital of the country than it is now. Do you have the confidence to win against Zhong Shuyun's mother and son? Do you have the confidence to convince the Manchu civil and military to side with you? ”

Yan Yunqi shook her head again and again.

She has no confidence, no certainty.

Even the emperor can't handle it, she, a queen who has no influence in the court, how can she have the ability to turn the tide.

That's right!

The eternal cure is death!

As long as a person dies, from now on, no one will be able to inherit the throne more justly than the emperor.

But......

Her heart was full of joy, she was not a ruthless person in the true sense of the word after all.

Nor did she do anything truly vicious and ruthless.

Now let her make up her mind and follow the emperor in everything, she will inevitably have guilt, struggles and contradictions......

"I ...... I do not know. ”

She stared at him, "We've come this far, do you have to do this, there's no other way?" ”

Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled softly, "Of course, there are other ways. For example, beating the king of Bushan County to cripple, such as making him break his appearance...... All in all, if you can't be a normal person, you are destined to miss the throne. Just, why bother. When a person dies, he is gone, and he does not have to suffer in this world. ”

"Are you upset? Will you be sad? She grabbed his arm tightly and looked at him, trying to see his true heart.

He laughed.

The smile is empathetic.

He said, "You want to ask, will I feel guilty for doing this?" The first emperor was kind to me, and if I cut off the bloodline of the first emperor's heirs, I would undoubtedly confirm my reputation for ingratitude.

You wonder if I will feel guilty, if I will be condemned by my conscience. I tell you the truth, in order to make the Great Wei country permanent, your relatives can also be killed.

Anyone who causes instability in the court and shakes the Great Wei River deserves to die!

I don't feel guilty, I have a clear conscience in everything I do. I am worthy of the ancestors of heaven and earth, and I am also worthy of my personal conscience.

No one's life is worth mentioning in front of the country. If his death can be exchanged for the stability of the court and the stability of the country, then his death is a well-deserved death.

As a member of the royal family, I can also die if necessary.

In the royal family, no one's life cannot be sacrificed, and everyone's life is not as important as the country. Do you understand? ”

Yan Yunqi cried.

Tears fell in strings.

She cried and nodded, "I know, I know everything." For the sake of the country, even if you bear the infamy of the world, you will not change your will. It's just, it's so tiring! Too aggrieved! Sometimes, we can be selfish and live happily. You don't have to worry about what happens after death, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings......"

"Say no more!"

He interrupted her unceremoniously.

Obviously, he didn't agree with her rhetoric.

Too small, no ambition.

In life, how can you get by?

Today is only in charge of today's affairs, tomorrow's things are tomorrow's worries, that is a coward!

He said solemnly: "Ordinary people can do this, as the Son of Heaven of Great Wei, I must think about the country and the court."

I can't ignore what happens after I die, I have to count it to five years, ten years, or even twenty years.

While I am still alive, I will strangle all factors that threaten the emperor. The Great Wei could not withstand the protracted struggle for the national capital, which was consuming vitality.

I must take advantage of the present to completely resolve the dispute over the national capital, and use the strength of the court on the people's livelihood and economy, and on the training of troops in the Northern Expedition. ”

"But...... What if Shi Wen is lucky and the king of Bushan County can't die? ”

She didn't have any other ideas, she just wanted to make it easier for the emperor.

Time is short, and exhaustion will only accelerate the consumption of the body, and death may come at any time.

She's afraid!

She's afraid!

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were too many people who had malicious intentions towards their mother and son.

She was worried that as soon as the emperor died, someone would drive their mother and son out of the palace.

When that day comes, how will she save the child's life?

She can die, but the child can't.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen laughed, his expression was very determined.

He said: "I have given Cui Wang an order to lead his troops and go directly to Yuzhou, without having to return to the court." With Cui Wang joining this battle, Shi Wen is the grasshopper after the autumn.

Even if it is the most despicable means, I will ask Shi Wen to hand over Zhong Shuyun's mother and son. If he is willing to solve the lives of Zhong Shuyun's mother and son with his own hands, I am willing to continue to tolerate him, and what happened can be blamed in the past. ”

Yan Yunqi subconsciously shuddered.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen has changed!

Becomes cold, impatient, and vicious......

It made her feel strange.

She felt cold.

The emperor stretched out his hand to hug her, "Don't be afraid! Even if I die, I will arrange everything before I die. The Queen Mother, you don't have to worry. I'll take her with me. In this way, you don't have to bear any burdens and responsibilities, you just need to take care of the emperor and let him grow up safely and smoothly. ”

Yan Yunqi grew her mouth.

The news was shocking.

Compared with killing Zhong Shuyun's mother and son, she was more shocked and frightened.

"Are you serious? Do you really want to take the Queen Mother? When you do this, do you really care about nothing? You, why do you stain your hands, why do you carry the condemnation of your conscience? ”

He smiled, and smiled lightly.

When his hands are dirty, he doesn't care.

As an emperor, he has to take the initiative or be forced to do many things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, collectively known as dirty things.

It can also be called a last resort.

Everything is for the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan Sheji, in order to never suffer in the future.

He whispered, "It's because I'm worried too much that I want to take her away." Otherwise, how do you suppress her?

After all, she is an elder, and when she goes to the court, the courtiers will only favor her, and you can only bow down in front of her.

At that time, the emperor will become a puppet in her hands, and you, maybe one day, will die in the harem for nothing.

Her methods, I know too well, too well. For the sake of power, she will do anything. And you, I haven't let you meddle in government politics all these years, and I don't know if it's right or wrong.

If you don't meddle in the government, it means that you have no influence in the court, and you don't even have half of your henchmen, how can you fight her.

You can't fight! She pinched the name of righteousness, you are a daughter-in-law, you can only bow your head. Do things to do absolutely nothing, this threat, I will solve it for you. ”

Yan Yunqi howled and cried.

Afraid that the cry would come out and arouse suspicion, she covered her mouth stiffly.

Her heart hurts.

All the dirty things, all the threats, he solved them, told her how to face them, how to reciprocate.

She was tormented, uneasy, and guilty......

She felt like she was a waste, she couldn't help anything, she couldn't do anything.

can only watch him rush to the end and bear the infamy of a lifetime.

"I'm useless! I can't share your worries. ”

"Don't be stupid! You take care of the emperor, let him ascend the throne and become the emperor smoothly, grow up safely, and return to him, which is the greatest credit. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well! I'm not as decisive as my eldest sister, and I'm not as capable as my fourth sister, and I'm mediocre......"

Emperor Xiao Chengwen interrupted her, "Don't talk nonsense!" You have your own strengths, and you don't have to be presumptuous. Otherwise, how could I marry you wholeheartedly.

You have to believe in yourself, and you have to be ruthless when your heart should be. I don't hide it from you, I don't trust your fourth sister Yan Yunge, she is ambitious, she has become a trend, and it is difficult to suppress. One day, she will threaten the emperor and the court.

The only person available to me is Ling Changzhi, but he is not credible, he is ambitious and far-sighted, and you are certainly not his opponent.

Therefore, there must be someone to suppress Ling Changzhi in the court and form a balance of power.

In this way, you and the Emperor can move between the two factions without being controlled by others. ”

She grabbed his arm tightly and asked eagerly, "Who can suppress Ling Changzhi?" He commanded the Northern Army, opened up territory for the Great Wei, and made outstanding achievements, and I am afraid that no one in the court will be able to suppress him. ”

Xiao Chengwen smiled, "When necessary, I will summon him back to Jianzhou and give him a knighthood, which is a reward for his hard work over the years."

wants to find someone to suppress him, in fact, Cui Zhi is a candidate, he has enough prestige, but unfortunately Cui Zhi has no intention of going to court, and he refuses to go out again.

Cui Wang's qualifications are too shallow, and his prestige is insufficient, so he can't suppress Ling Changzhi. After thinking about it, Pingwu Hou Shi Wen turned out to be the best candidate. ”

Yan Yunqi was stunned, "Brother-in-law? His Majesty asked Cui Wang to lead the troops to fight Yuzhou, and now he said that he would use Shi Wen to suppress Ling Changzhi, this is ......"

Her mind was full of mush, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.

This operation is too sassy.

"Shi Wen is ambitious, I give him a chance to return to the court, he will definitely be moved. The premise is that he must solve Zhong Shuyun's mother and son for me. Otherwise, I can only completely solve him and let the Shi family completely disappear from this world. ”

"Will he give in? If there is no Shi Wen, who else in the court can suppress the powerful Ling Changzhi? ”

Emperor Xiao Chengwen frowned slightly, "This month, I will promote Situ Yuan into the political hall. The Situ family is the only big family in the world that has no in-law relationship with the Ling family. If Shi Wen is not useful, he has to work against me, and Situ Yuan is a backup. From today onwards, you can arrange for someone to contact the Situ family, and I will be your back. ”

Yan Yunqi took a deep breath, her heart pounding.

"If Shi Wen returns to obedience, he and Ling Changzhi are uncles and nephews, isn't Your Majesty worried that their uncles and nephews will partner to oppress the emperor?"

"Don't worry. Their uncles and nephews, from beginning to end, are not of the same mind. ”
