Chapter 33: The Queen Mother is back

"Boss, today the government has come to inform us to temporarily suspend business for a day."

"Huh? Why? I have all paid my taxes well! Why is it closed? ”

"Because the Queen Mother, who was praying outside, recently returned to Beijing, martial law has been imposed on the streets, and carriages are not allowed on the road."

"Oh... Ah, well. ”

Qin Si is very depressed, and there is a role like the Queen Mother, no one has ever mentioned it, and she thought that this kind of character had already passed away.

In the palace, the ministers and princes are all standing neatly next to the main hall, waiting to welcome the queen mother back to the palace.

"Queen Mother, after a long journey, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, what's the matter, the emperor really treats me like an old woman! My body is in good shape! ”

"Yes, yes, Erchen is too worried." The Queen Mother was smiling all the way, and she didn't look tired at all.

"My little grandson, come over and let the imperial grandmother take a look!"

"Grandma Huang!"

As soon as An Ge ran into the door, he went straight to the Queen Mother.

"Oh, let's see who is here," the Queen Mother saw him, and her happy face smiled, otherwise it was the old man, who would be favored everywhere!

"The queen mother, still a little grandchild, these three children are not small! I see that I am going to start a family! ”

"So, as soon as I received the news from the Queen, I hurried back. Rui'er, are the preparations for the marriage going well? ”

"If you go back to Grandma Huang, you're ready."

"Why didn't Yan'er come? The mourning family still wants to see my granddaughter-in-law! ”

"Since Grandma Huang wants to see it, it's not too late to bring him to see you tomorrow. It's better for you to rest these days. ”

"Okay, by the way, what about Zidu? Why didn't you see them? ”

"The queen mother and the son will go to the foreign house to deal with affairs, and they will be able to come back tomorrow."

"Hey, I said the emperor, this Rui'er's marriage is settled, you are about to start Zhang Luozidu's marriage, and he should marry a princess, right? Don't let him run all day. ”

"Grandma Huang, you don't have to worry about it." An Ge pretended to look at his eldest brother mysteriously, "Second brother, he has already had a favorite girl." ”

"Yes!" The Queen Mother was a little surprised, "This sun is coming out in the west, and there is a woman who can impress our second prince!" Grandson, tell Grandma Huang what kind of girl she looks like. ”

"It's a long story!"

"Queen Mother, it's better to see than to hear, why don't you choose a day and let your son bring her to see you?"

A clever plan flashed in the queen's mind, and Cui Zirui next to her instantly understood the queen's intentions, hey, the queen mother was really heartbroken for it! By the way, he also sweated for his second brother.

"By the way, the emperor, I brought someone with me when I came back this time. Father-in-law Li, announce her to come up. ”

"Yes, Miss Xuanmeisha goes to the temple."

Outside the door, a graceful girl walked in.

"The people's maid Meisha has seen the emperor, the queen's mother."

"Mother, this girl is ....."

"That's right, the mourning family came back from the temple to offer incense and just saw a group of people robbing the people's daughter, this girl was almost sold to the Qinglou for her father's debts. The mourning family couldn't look at it, so they brought her back. ”

"The Queen Mother.... This ....."

"Emperor, Meisha is taking care of the mourning family all the way, and the mourning family is also used to it, I'm afraid it's not suitable for another person, so let her stay by my side, how about it?"

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a smile, which made him unable to refuse.

"Alright then, you can stay."

"Emperor Xie, Empress Dowager Xie."

Mei Sha was gentle and elegant, dignified and generous, and the people present didn't care too much, only one person showed a smug smile in the corner.

In the evening, Cui Zidu hurried back to the palace.

"Father-in-law Li, can you help me report it, I have something very important to tell my father."

"The old slave is going!"

He didn't rest for a moment all the way, and it was already the middle of the night when he arrived in Kyoto.

"Zidu? Why are you so alarmed? ”

"Father, my son received a tip. The Eastern Fence Kingdom is now recruiting troops and intending to go to war! ”

"What!" The emperor was shocked, "Is the news credible?" ”

"Father, rest assured, this is exactly what the son of Taibai Gong said, it is very credible."

"Is there anything else in the first report? What is his purpose? ”

"This is not to say, Erchen thinks that with their current strength, they do not dare to provoke our country, but the heart of defense is indispensable! We need to be prepared! ”

"This is reasonable, this old emperor of the Eastern Fence Country, I once sent troops to help him resist foreign enemies, so because he is grateful, he will send many tributes and gifts every year, and he is very friendly with our country. It's just that in recent years, I heard that he was seriously ill and couldn't handle the government at all, so he was handed over to the crown prince Sannar. Who knew that he actually started my idea again! I don't know what to do! ”

"Father, I heard that this prince is fierce and cunning, I'm afraid it is not something that ordinary people can subdue."

"You're right." The emperor thought for a moment and walked up to him. "Zidu, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time...."

"Father, please speak."

"I have something to entrust to you." With that, he pulled out a glittering gold waist card from his sleeve.

"Father.... This is....! ”

Cui Zi couldn't believe it, this turned out to be the legendary Dragon Ascending Order! The highest token that can command thousands of armies!

He also saw it once at the emperor's grandfather when he was a child, and he never saw it again, and today his father handed it over to him.... What the hell is this....

"What, don't you dare to take it?"

The emperor had been watching the three sons.

The eldest son is calm and wise, but he attaches too much importance to feelings, and the younger son is stubborn and unchangeable. Only this second son is resolute, brave and strategic, and only he can protect this waist card.

"I don't know what my father meant by handing over such a valuable thing to me?"

"Zidu, you must understand the meaning of this token, it seems to be calm now, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, I am worried, if one day.... You can command the soldiers and horses to calm the world! ”

"Father, the eldest brother, they...."

"Needless to say, I have my own plans. If you are tired, go back and rest sooner. The emperor waved at him, and Cui Zidu stopped talking.

"The retainers retired."

After Cui Zidu left, the emperor was no longer sleepy, and he sat in his study and kept looking up maps of past wars.

"Your Majesty...."

The queen arrived, which made the emperor slightly surprised.

"Aifei, you heard everything I said."

He knew that he couldn't hide anything from the queen, and she could see through her thoughts at a glance because she was smart.

"What do you think of my decision?"

"Your Majesty, I support any decision you make. These three children have their own characteristics, I think the emperor already has a plan in his heart. ”

"I can't hide anything from you." The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Giving this burden to that child is also painful for him. I hope he can live up to my promise. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, he will not let you down." The queen brought him a bowl of ginseng tea, "Drink it while it's hot, this is calming." ”

"Why is the Queen so sure?"

"Your Majesty, don't look at me living in the inner courtyard all day long, but you know my ability to see people. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately arranged for Taibai Gong to let his child approach Zidu. ”

"Oh, I don't see it, what else are you arranged?" The Emperor looked at her with interest.

"And Sisi, from the first glance, I didn't think this kid was like an ordinary person. But I can't tell what is special, but I always feel that he and his son have an indescribable fate, otherwise with our son's stinky temper, he will be alone in this life. ”

"Hahaha.... What the queen said was extremely true. I also think that this child is very wise, judging from the wine incident alone, such an easy and novel solution, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have lost to a little girl. ”

"So your majesty, you don't have to worry so much, it's time for the children to solve some things on their own, and the future world will be theirs, isn't it, you, you still have to take care of your body!"

"Okay, okay, just listen to the concubine!"

The emperor smiled and pulled the queen to the apse. In life, it is really enough to have a confidant!

In the dark night sky, Cui Zi couldn't sleep for a long time, and kept tossing and turning in bed.

Ascending the Dragon Order, getting it, this is almost equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the entire royal city.

Such a heavy burden was handed over to him by his father with confidence, which made him very excited, but at the same time, he also felt the pressure on his shoulders.

His task is heavier and he has more to think about. Among the informants sent by Bai Jian today, there was one thing he didn't mention, that is, someone had infiltrated the court.

The thieves of the East Fence Country are not dead, and they intend to expand their power from the court, which is an extremely dangerous step, and the palace is redundant, and it is not easy to investigate this spy. It seems that it is time to plan well.
