Chinese At the third watch, Xiao Yi opened the door and walked out, the ministers straightened their waists, and those who dozed off were in good spirits. (Fengwu Literature Network) asked gossipily:

"Lord Xiao, did the emperor sleep?"

"The emperor is going to summon the ministers?"

Xiao Yi looked at the kneeling crowd, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "The third master has something to say, you can choose a representative to meet you, and only one can be selected." ”

Yang Jiaojian, who was kneeling at the front, hurriedly replied: "By the order of the Queen Mother, the lower official is the leader." ”

Xiao Yi's eyes turned to Yang Jiaojian, and he gave advice with a cold face. "Lord Yang, you must be measured when you go in and speak, if you are as rude as Lord Qin, you will never meet with the third master."

"Third Master?"

Only then did the ministers react, and Xiao Yi's title to the emperor was a private discussion.

"The emperor calls himself the third master, which has a deep meaning." Qin Guodong, the head of the household department, frowned.

"When is it, don't go around, just say that the emperor is going to abdicate." Wei Changyan glanced at Chen Guodong, his tone was a little ridiculous, he was secretly jealous of these ministers that the emperor relied on, and the most jealous was Lord Xiao Yi beside the emperor, but the person he didn't dare to provoke the most was also Lord Xiao Yi.

"Lord Xiao, is the emperor really going to abdicate?" Fan Siren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who replaced Xue Shaoqing, asked anxiously.

"What do you say?" Xiao Yi glared at him and asked ambiguously.

"Alas, Your Majesty, no!" Fan Siren lamented and kowtowed.

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed a touch of indifference, "Please silence everyone, don't disturb the third master's rest." ”

The ministers shut up and stopped talking, all of them felt deeply sad in their hearts, Xiao Yi used to be very agreeable to anyone before, and he had only been away for a few days.

"Leader Yang, please come in." Xiao Yi finally had a kind word.

"Thank you." Yang Jiaojian entered the gate of the small building of the fence as a representative of the ministers and was led to the study by Xiao Yi.

Xiaozhu didn't recruit many servants, Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Wan, plus two rough servants, the next people were very tired after a busy day, and they all fell asleep at this time, Xiao Yi made a pot of tea, and brought a plate of snacks, and put it on the small table next to Yang Jiao's fitness.

Yang Jiaojian looked at the dim sum and swallowed his saliva, feeling more and more hungry, but he didn't move.

"Why, Brother Yang is very righteous, people outside can't eat, and you don't just eat alone?" Xiao Yi laughed neatly.

"I don't have anything, but there are a few older ones who can't bear it."

At this time, Xuanyuan Rui appeared at the door of the study, and the two hurriedly silenced.

Yang Jiaojian knelt down and saluted, and lowered his voice, "Weichen see the emperor." ”

"Flat." Xuanyuan Rui tugged at the shirt that slipped off his shoulders and walked in.

Yang Jiaojian peeked at the emperor's overly dazzling clothes.

The emperor was wearing a light-colored thick robe, the obscene clothes inside were loose, the clothes and belts did not seem to be tied, and the hair was slightly unkempt.

Seeing the situation, the queen must be asleep, the clothes worn by the emperor himself are very untidy, the emperor is abstinent in the palace, but he is completely relieved outside the palace.

Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to sort out the emperor's clothes.

Xuanyuan Rui lazily sat on the soft couch, picked up the teacup, seemed to be very thirsty, took a big sip of tea first, and then asked in a low voice, "What is the news in the palace?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother was very worried about state affairs, and she couldn't sit still, so she summoned the adults in the Qiankun Palace." Yang Jiaojian stood respectfully and replied.

"What is the Queen Mother's attitude towards the queen's return to the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother didn't mention the Queen Mother, but she was anxious to let you and the Queen Mother go back to the palace soon, the Queen Mother said: As long as the emperor returns to the palace, he likes whoever he wants, and the mourning family goes with him. The queen mother asked Weichen to lead the ministers to come here to persuade you to return to the palace, and said to Weichen: All the emperor's requests are agreed, and the emperor will be persuaded back at all costs. ”

Xuanyuan Rui's eyebrows raised slightly, picked up the teacup again, elegantly wiped the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip of tea without hurrying, from his expression he could not see any joy and anger on his face, as the emperor's cronies and ministers, Yang Jiaojian knew that the emperor was in a very proud mood at this time.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back to the palace." Yang Jiaojian persuaded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, if you sharpen the strength of the queen mother, I want the queen mother to no longer control the affairs of my palace, and no longer interfere with the queen's power to control the harem."

"The emperor's plan to leave the palace can be described as killing two birds with one stone, but it is too risky, in case the world is in chaos......"

"Don't worry, I'm in control."

Yang Jiaojian listened to the emperor's calm and courageous voice, and a heartfelt respect rose in his heart, but the emperor controlled the country as steadily as Mount Tai, so ...... Did it also influence the queen's desire to escape?

Thinking of this, he asked cautiously, "Your Majesty...... Is the queen willing to return to the palace? ”

"Alas!" Xuanyuan Rui sighed calmly.

Yang Jiaojian's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt impetuous, the queen mother's side is fine, the queen's side is the key. If the queen is unwilling to return to the palace for the rest of her life, the emperor will wait here for the rest of her life? If we wait any longer, the hearts of the subjects will be truly turbulent.

Xuanyuan Rui stood up, frowned to the window, looked at the bamboo forest with the shadows of the trees outside the window, and said quietly, "The queen didn't like palace life in the first place, and after entering the palace, she encountered many tribulations. ”

"The emperor just needs to take the queen back to the palace and protect it." Yang Jiaojian couldn't control his mouth, the emperor is the king of a country, and he has to be so attentive to take a favored woman back to the palace?

"Is it that simple?" Xuanyuan Rui glanced at him, "If you forcibly take her into the palace, will she still get along with me?" ”

Yang Jiaojian's thinking has always been sharp, and he hurriedly intercepted the words involving talking about the queen, the emperor is so affectionate, persistently doting on the queen, if he accidentally says the wrong thing, it will make the emperor disgusted. But in private, I couldn't help but sigh, if the country could be abandoned, the emperor would be able to abandon it for the sake of the queen.

Xuanyuan Rui pondered for a moment, turned around and sat down at the table, raised his eyes to look at Yang Jiaojian who came behind him, "Jiaojian, you go to Jiuyun Mansion and ask for a letter from the father-in-law." ”

Yang Jiaojian's eyes lit up, "Yes, asking the queen's family to persuade the queen to return to the palace will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, the emperor is wise." ”

"It is inconvenient for me to write a letter, so from the perspective of your minister's anxiety about the country, with your incorruptible tongue, I will explain the current situation to his old man." Xuanyuan Rui's advice is very detailed.

"Wechen obeys." How could Yang Jiaojian not understand the emperor's thoughts, the emperor wanted the emperor to feel that he had abandoned the country this time, and that it was true and sincere to be with the queen, and there was no scheming.

"Go and come back quickly, I will return to my heart like an arrow."

"The minister understands the emperor's concern for the country, and the minister will leave tonight." Yang Jiaojian glanced at the emperor who was sitting behind the table, and couldn't help but worry about the people kneeling outside, those old guys are pampered on weekdays, I'm afraid they can't stand this suffering, "Your Majesty, the adults outside the door are ......"

"Xiao Yi, arrange for them to go to the Xipo bamboo house to rest, but they don't have to be too attentive, they must be lazy but not cold, and the scale must be appropriate."

"Yes."

Xiao Yi understands the emperor's dark thinking, that is, don't take too good care of them, not only to make people feel that the emperor is unwilling to return to the court, but also not to hurt the self-esteem of the ministers.

"Jiaojian, warn them not to do foolish things, don't do stupid things, I won't see them until the queen agrees to return to the palace with me." Xuanyuan Rui turned his serious gaze to Yang Jiaojian and added in a low voice.

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister went to Jiuyun Mansion to ask the abbot to persuade the queen, let them wait for good news, and temporarily appease them for a few days."

"I don't want to see any situation out of control, if someone makes trouble and disturbs the queen or goes to Cuizhu'an to disturb Huizhu Shitai, I will drive them out of Qingzhuling." Xuanyuan Rui threw down a warning, got up and walked out of the door of the study, and went back to the bedroom without looking back.

Yang Jiaojian bowed down, slightly stunned, only to know that the leader of the ministers was not an easy errand, if someone angered the emperor without knowing the fun, then he would not be able to eat and walk away.

Pressing down on a sudden hint of panic, he hurriedly walked out, and he had to immediately intimidate the adults, so that they could settle down and not cause trouble.

The next day, Yang Jiaojian set off to visit the Guozhang in Jizhou, and Qin Guodong, the head of the household, waited for two days, and finally couldn't sit still, and came to the small gate of the fence alone, asking to meet the emperor alone.

Xuanyuan Rui ignored him, Qin Guodong knelt at the door and refused to leave, and after a short time, a few ministers came to the small gate of the fence.

Xiao Yi sent a few guards to blow them away, and after a while, Xuanyuan Rui and Yunxiao quietly went out in a carriage. Instead of letting those ministers block the door and harass them at home, it is better to hide and relax.

The ministers didn't go far, hiding in the bamboo forest and muttering and discussing, Wei Changyan suddenly called in a low voice, "The emperor is out." ”

A few people picked up the branches of the trees and looked out of the forest, and sure enough, they saw the emperor and the queen leaving in a carriage together.

"We follow the emperor, and if the emperor goes, we will follow wherever he goes."

"That's not polite, isn't it?" Qin Guodong had never done such an unsightly thing.

"Lord Qin, you can't see the emperor if you obey the law and abide by the law, and you don't have to follow the rules in special times."

Wei Changyan didn't want to see the emperor, but he was anxious to see the queen. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has fallen out of favor, the emperor does not like him, his status in the court has plummeted, and the taste of being despised is very uncomfortable, so he is attached to the queen mother. But the Queen Mother has no real power, so she can only act in the harem.

I never thought that the emperor didn't want to be the emperor for the sake of the queen, and asked for the throne to be given to the prince, this was his chance to turn over. If the little prince is appointed as the emperor, then the power will fall into the hands of the queen mother, who trusts him very much, and his position in the court will be brilliant again.

The top priority must be to deter the queen and let her die of the heart of returning to the palace, if the queen does not return to the palace, the emperor will insist on the Zen throne. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the queen mother will definitely establish a new king.

Therefore, Wei Changyan's desire to see the queen was very urgent, and he encouraged the ministers to follow the emperor and wait for the opportunity to meet. Cat flutter Chinese
