"The battle ahead is not over, how can we withdraw the power of the army at this time. Reading the Internet, the Queen Mother hesitated.

"Our army has been reported frequently in recent days, the old minister has received the battle report, most of the Ran army has been driven out of the border by our army, and the battle ahead has basically won a complete victory, and Yun Fengjin will be able to lead the army to return to the DPRK in the near future."

Empress Dowager Duan pondered for a moment and asked, "If the military power is withdrawn, who will replace Yun Fengjin to control the military power?" ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the old minister has already been selected, this person is satisfied with the queen mother, and the emperor will also approve it." Prime Minister Li Cheng had already planned for the Li family to win the country, and he was confident about the selection of military commanders.

"Li Xiang said it quickly and clearly."

"He is the emperor's most trusted close minister, Yang Jiaojian, the secretary of the Criminal Department."

"Yang is good, Lord Yang is loyal to the emperor, and he is also respectful to the mourning family, and he is both wise and brave, he is indeed a rare loyal minister." The Queen Mother was very satisfied with this candidate for military commandery. At this moment, he finally made up his mind and cut off the post of General Yun Fengjin.

"The old minister is pleased, it is the best policy to use Jiao Jian as the commander of my Dongchen army, the emperor will not object, the queen mother is also very trusting, and Jiao Jian can also be qualified for the position of commander." Prime Minister Li Cheng smiled slightly, but he was smiling in his heart. At that time, if Jiao Jian wants to be the emperor, he will push him to the throne, if Jiao Jian does not want to sit on the throne, then he will personally sit on the throne, rely on his own talents, seriously govern the country for a few years, and then choose a favorite descendant to pass on the Li family's country from generation to generation.

Empress Dowager Duan was thinking about how to make the Xuanyuan family stable, and couldn't help nodding in approval, "The person recommended by the prime minister is very good. ”

"The old minister still has something to worry about." Prime Minister Li continued.

"Li Xiang, what's the matter?" The Queen Mother's cold and hard attitude towards Prime Minister Li eased, and her tone of voice was much calmer, at least not indifferent.

"Queen Mother, Yun Fengjin's martial arts are extraordinary, and his prestige is extremely high, even if he is not in charge of military power, he is also a troublesome person." Yun Fengjin is a big worry, and the grass must be eradicated.

"......" The Empress Dowager silently stared at Prime Minister Li Cheng's solemn expression, and a sense of foreboding floated in her heart, and she couldn't say what was wrong.

"If Yun Fengjin is not removed, he will be a great threat to Jiangshan Sheji after all."

Prime Minister Li Cheng's most scruples are this loyal and courageous general, if the country changes hands surnamed Li, Yun Fengjin will inevitably lead the army to rise up for the restoration of the Xuanyuan clan, and his prestige will definitely respond to every call, and the Yun family also has strong wealth as a backing, therefore, Yun Fengjin is alive, and the Li family will be in endless troubles in the future.

"In the opinion of Li Xiangzhi?" The Queen Mother inquired.

"At the celebration banquet......" Prime Minister Li paused and simply made a chopping gesture.

"You mean...... Kill him?! ”

The Queen Mother said the word kill, and she was immediately flustered.

"Poisoning, a glass of wine is enough, Yun Fengjin's martial arts are at the top, don't use force." Prime Minister Li stared at Empress Dowager Duan's reaction and said in a deep voice.

Empress Dowager Duan is not an unassertive person, she has her own principles of doing things, killing people is not the only means, at present, Yun Fengjin has no rebellion, and just by virtue of the sorrows of the coming day, killing the heroes who have made great contributions to the protection of the country will definitely arouse the resentment of the courtiers, the people are unwilling, and the mourning family will also feel uneasy when they dream back at midnight. ”

Yun Fengjin led the troops to defeat the invading land in one fell swoop and saved the Xuanyuan clan, he is the savior of Dongchen, the savior of the Xuanyuan family, and the great hero in the eyes of the people, even though his prestige and military power in his hands have constituted a threat to the royal family, and the queen mother of meritorious service cannot be killed.

Prime Minister Li Cheng wished that the courtiers had a grudge against the Xuanyuan clan, and did not muddy the water, he would have a hard time sitting on the throne to gather people's hearts, and seeing the queen mother's hesitation, he continued to bewitch, "The old minister advised the queen mother that she should govern the country selflessly, and in order to stabilize the country and society, you must not be soft-hearted and have the heart of a woman." ”

"Yun Fengjin is a hero who protects the country, without Yun Fengjin leading the generals to fight to the death against the enemy and fight bloodily, Dongchen would have died long ago." The Queen Mother sighed.

"The Queen Mother thinks twice." Prime Minister Li Cheng stood up from his seat, bowed with his palms together, and accentuated his tone a little, "It is related to the safety of the country, and indecision will inevitably lead to disaster." If the tiger is released today, he will be a tiger in the world, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"The matter...... Let the mourning family consider. The Queen Mother frowned.

The renovation of Xinlan Garden has been completed, and the garden has a new look.

On this day, Xuanyuan Rui happily brought Yunxiao into Xinlan Garden.

Xinlan Garden is built according to the pattern of Yunxiao Boudoir Pavilion in Jiuyun Mansion, even the flowers and trees in the courtyard, the pavilion and the water pavilion are all copied, and being in Xinlan Garden is like returning home. Although Fengyuan Palace is luxurious, heavy and picturesque, it lacks this pleasant scenery.

Yun Xiao turned the courtyard around with great interest, and since then, when she is idle and bored, she always likes to walk around Xinlan Palace, relax her heart, and enjoy the scenery.

Got up this morning, Yun Xiao drank morning tea in the pavilion in the courtyard of Fengyuan Palace, about the previous dynasty had something difficult to solve, the emperor was afraid that there would be a while before he could go down to the court, and he was preparing to change into a formal dress and headdress to go to Xinlan Garden to enjoy the flowers, and move his body and bones.

The messenger came to report, "Empress Qiyu, General Situ and his wife are asking for an audience outside the palace. ”

"But here comes the orb?" A bright flower flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes. I haven't seen the orb in years.

"It's the second lady Xia Li."

"Please come into the palace."

"Yes."

After a while, Li Yuan brought Situ Yu and Xia Li into the dormitory, and the two knelt down and saluted.

"Weichen (slave maid) see (knock) the queen's mother."

"Get up, Xia Li, don't kneel, Xiaowan, help me up." Yun Xiao was very enthusiastic.

"Xie Niangniang." Xia Li was already in tears before she could get up, and Xiao Wan stepped forward to help her up.

"I think you've been out of the palace for four or five years, so why don't you ask to enter the palace, let's talk about the past."

"The slave maid is ashamed to enter the palace without shame." Xia Li didn't want to enter the palace to see the queen, she wanted to climb the queen's high branch, but the queen had been adrift for more than four years, how could she climb it?

"I'm going to come more often in the future." Yun Xiao felt a little guilty about Xia Li, after all, it was because she couldn't have children at that time that Xia Li went to the dragon bed, and the emperor was annoyed and was expelled from the palace, ruining her reputation, losing face, and having to become a concubine.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xia Li respectfully presented the gift she brought, "Queen Mother, this is your favorite dim sum, the slave maid got up early today and made some for the mother by herself." ”

"It's such an attractive fragrance, it's a shame that you still remember the taste of this palace, and it's in vain that it's the people around this palace." Yun Xiao was very pleased to see the delicate pastries in the box, so she asked Xiaowan to take the snack box and asked with concern: "In the past few years...... How are you doing? ”

"Thanks to the mother's care, the slave and maid live quite happily without worrying about food and clothing, the son is five years old, and the daughter is almost one year old." Xia Li smiled indifferently, after a few years of precipitation, the flashy thoughts of the past have fallen silent. Now she has already been a **, has children and a home, and now she only wants to use the relationship with the queen's former master and servant to glorify her family and make Situ Mansion a pivotal mansion in the capital.

"Congratulations, it seems that when your daughter is one year old, this palace will prepare a heavy gift."

"Thank you for the grace of the mother, on the first birthday of the little girl, I respectfully invite the mother to come to the mansion for a gathering, and the slave and maid set up a banquet in the house, showing the slave and maid's admiration for the mother."

"In my heart, you are like a sister, if you don't encounter something important, this palace should come to Situ Mansion to congratulate you." Yun Xiao turned to Situ Yu with a smile and said: "Xia Li is a concubine all because of me, I am really wronged, can you see her as a flat wife in her love for serving me for many years, and it will not be in vain for us to get along." ”

"I should go down, Li'er and Baozhu are the two ends of the big." Situ Yu immediately agreed.

"Situ is also a happy person." Yun Xiao praised happily.

"Xie Niangniang Longen, Situ Mansion is looking forward to Niangniang's arrival in the cold house." Xia Li was grateful when he heard this.

If the queen comes to the mansion, it will be a flourishing one.

Yun Xiao looked at Xia Li, thought of Qiu Yue, and couldn't help sighing: "Xia Li, you and Qiu Yue are the maids who followed me into the palace, I have regarded you as sisters in my heart, and now Qiu Yue has been killed for a few years, this palace is very nostalgic, and I am not allowed to go out of the palace freely, so I am bothered that you will pour incense in front of Qiu Yue's grave for me in your spare time, and burn a few pieces of dark paper." ”

"The slave obeys." Xia Li replied with tears, and Yun Xiao also shed tears.

Situ Yu didn't like the two of them making the atmosphere so sad, so he managed to change the topic, looked at Yun Xiao's bulging belly, and asked casually, "Are you pregnant again?" ”

"It's been more than five months." He still doesn't care about the subtleties like this, Yun Xiao blushed with shame by his question, and it is really uncomfortable for big men outside his family to pay attention to his stomach. Situ Yu still hasn't changed this informal style, which is also helpless.

"Look at me, patronizing the old days, slacking off, you are not outsiders, you should be a family, don't respect those etiquette in the palace, please sit down." Wiping her tears, Yun Xiao had a smile on her face, Xia Li should be happy to enter the palace.

"Don't sit down yet, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you get all the people in the palace out, I have something to tell you." Situ Yu suddenly burst out with a sentence.

Yun Xiao glanced at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan was instructed to wave away the palace maids who were standing in various places in the palace.

Situ Yu was still not at ease, glanced at Xiao Wan beside Yunxiao, and glanced at Li Yuan, who was bowing to Hou Li.

Yun Xiao understood what it meant, "Xiao Wan and Li Yuan are the henchmen of this palace, even if they have something to say, they don't have money again?" ”

Situ Yu slanted the corners of his mouth, "Money? Hmph, you don't need to ask your master for it this time, you have to reward me heavily. ”

"Master, you are serious." Xia Li glanced at him reproachfully, Situ Yu spoke casually in front of the queen, and he was disrespectful to the queen, Xia Li was uneasy, and he wanted to remind him to pay attention to etiquette in the palace and not to act casually.

Situ Yu took out a letter and handed it to Yun Xiao, a little more serious, "This time I entered the palace to meet the queen mother because of the entrustment of the second brother. "One
