Return to the Capital (III) (M)

"He's smart." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, at least Tang Xinjie did not suspect Sun Li. Although he is the master, after all, General Yutai is the emperor's closest and trustworthy subordinate, if he knows that he sent someone to stare at him, his face will be a little unbearable. But who made Tang Xinjie the queen mother. He has been an emperor for decades, and he is always constrained by his mother, and he is a little depressed when he thinks about it. He was the only son of the Queen Mother, and the interests of mother and son should have been tied together, he always couldn't understand, why did the Queen Mother always have to ask so much, could it be that he would turn against her mother?! Including Tang Xinjie's affairs. Tang Xinjie is very capable, and loyal to the imperial court, he had his own large business before he entered the Pingluan Pavilion, and there is no need to worry about him defecting to the enemy for money. But he is indeed a member of the Tang family, which makes him feel uneasy, over the years, the queen mother has firmly grasped the Tang family through her aunt, and at the same time controlled the Tang family army and many forces in the rivers and lakes through the Tang family. The fact that the Queen Mother had not completely handed over these forces to him made him feel very uncomfortable, just as the Queen Mother always couldn't trust him and had to keep a hand. If he had a brother, he would have suspected that he had left it to another brother, but he was an only son, and it could only be said that the queen mother did not fully trust him and did not want to give up power safely. I really don't know what the old lady is doing with this hand. The Tang family and the Chen family also followed the Queen Mother stupidly. Therefore, although he values Tang Xinjie and entrusts him with important tasks, he is always not at ease. Although he didn't know what the queen mother was going to do, or what the queen mother would do if he made a mistake, whether to directly let him become the emperor and let Yiyi take over the throne, or whether the queen mother listened to the government and set him up as the emperor, no matter which one it was, he was very unwilling.

After being impatient, he slowly calmed down, and gently knocked on the table again, was Tang Xinjie cleaning up Pingluan Pavilion instructed by his mother? Is this cleanup directed at him or? He suddenly became irritable: "Sanbao, what is the movement of the queen mother today?" ”

Sanbao is the chamberlain who came in later, and is responsible for the secret agents of part of the harem around the emperor.

"This morning, the prince entered the palace to see the queen mother, and then the queen mother entered the Buddhist hall, and several supervisors over there were waiting for a reply, and they were still lined up outside the Buddhist hall."

"What are you doing?"

"Several, there is one who is the head of the Empress Dowager's Jingwei, one is the head of the Queen Mother's travels, the other is the manager of Zhou, and the manager of the Queen Mother's pharmacy and medicine garden, the head of the Queen Mother's money and money, and the care of the concubines' daily life..."

"I don't want to listen to those trivial things, don't you know who I want to focus on at this moment is appearing at the Queen Mother?" He was in an irritable mood, and threw a stack of pieces on the table and folded them off Sambo's head.

Sanbao was stunned for a moment, of course he knew what the emperor was asking, didn't the emperor know that these people in addition to their superficial positions, also helped the queen mother control the personnel and intelligence of relevant aspects, but he also understood the temper of this lord, he forgot, or he didn't know, but if you want to pretend to understand, there is no way, how can the Ninety-Five Supreme appear ignorant. After following him for many years, Sanbao naturally knows how to survive: "Jingwei under Chief Manager Li is also paying attention to the affairs of Pingluan Pavilion today, because there are also people in the sect who have been imprisoned by Pingluan Pavilion today, so Steward Zhou must have come to report, and there are several other stewards who are implicated." Later, even the master of the Chen family entered the palace, but the palace maid came out to spread the word that the queen mother's work today was at a critical juncture, and she couldn't interrupt it, so everyone waited. ”

"The queen mother has recently started practicing again? At such an age, what else is there to practice, and how many serious things are waiting for. The emperor frowned, although he was born to Chen Xiangxiang, Chen Xiangxiang had also urged him to practice internal skills diligently, not only for self-preservation, but also for health and longevity, but he felt that it was very stupid for the Ninth Five-Year Supreme to practice martial arts by himself, and he needed to spend time on national affairs, not on his own martial arts. Even though Chen Mulu had said everything, he didn't care. Later, when he became sensible, he wanted to practice again, but it was still too late, and he lacked the child's skills since he was a child, and it was basically difficult for him to make progress in the Chen family's internal practice. In addition, he likes to try different women too much, because of some accidents, his body is extremely weak now, and it is really unknown whether he can continue to hold on.

He was not long dead, but his mother had been practicing all year round, and now she was not only in good health, but she also looked extremely young, not like an old woman in her seventies, but like a man in her forties and fifties, who looked younger than his son. He sometimes resents his mother very much, and she never lets go of power and is very persistent, but why can't she be more assertive and strong in the education of his son? If she had been stricter and stronger, he wouldn't be like this now, and the doctors were helpless. Thinking that his life was not long and that the queen mother was still charming, his hatred was even deeper. He had long forgotten how many things Chen Mural had thrown in anger in order to urge him to practice, how he had despised martial arts and people in the rivers and lakes, how he had been a vulgar martial artist, how he humiliated the guards with strong martial arts around Chen Mural, how he let the guards around him pretend to be him in the courtyard to pretend to practice, and how the queen mother entrusted Master Qi to come into the palace to teach him martial arts The day he added medicine to his tea.

Sanbao naturally couldn't discuss the rights and wrongs of the Queen Mother with his master, but just bowed his head and said: "The Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother drank a few glasses of cold fruit wine during the New Year. Two days ago, the Queen Mother felt that there was nothing to do recently that she needed to come forward, so she started the internal work of the past seven days? It's a really critical time. This morning, she asked Manager Li to change many masters to escort them into the palace. ”

There was an unconscious queen mother, he could only admit it, and quickly pulled his focus back: "Where did Uncle Chen Jiaguo enter the palace?" In fact, he can guess one or two without asking, which may also be related to Pingluan Pavilion's actions today.

"It is said that the children of a branch of the Chen family are involved with the people who are imprisoned today."

"Hmph, if there is really a spy who collaborates with the enemy, let Pingluan Pavilion punish it severely." This uncle, if he hadn't been the emperor, could he be the emperor's uncle? If it weren't for his uncle, what would the Chen family do? is also a great Confucian in Jiangnan for generations, and is also a famous doctor in Jiangnan, Didn't the Zhou family say that it would disappear if it disappeared? Although he regretted the matter of the Zhou family afterwards, he shouldn't have listened to the words of that slut and acted in such a hurry, but in terms of the position of the Zhou family in medical skills and Jiangnan Shilin, the disciples throughout the imperial court are no worse than the Chen family, but they are not like the Chen family has a queen mother. It only takes him a word to vanish. Because he had his own negligence back then, he turned a blind eye to the remaining orphan girl entering the palace, don't think that he didn't know about the small actions made by the queen mother and the aunt of the Tang family, he was just magnanimous and didn't care about them.

But to be honest, the daughter of the Zhou family is really beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that he was raised by his mother's side, he was really young, but he wanted to include her in the harem. is really a stunner, no wonder Yixiang wants that woman by all means. If you are still alive, this age is really beautiful, and it should be very tasteful. Well, thinking a little far ahead. Collect your heart and think about business. If Tang Xinjie let his uncle move, wasn't it the queen mother's instructions? Or is it for his *?

"That side branch, what do you usually do in the Chen family? Do you have an important job? ”

"I usually help the Chen family manage the Grange in the Gyeonggi area, and the Chen family's Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area is the largest annual income of the Chen family. Usually not only get close to the young children of the Chen family, but even the uncle admires it very much. Very capable and shrewd, and will do things. The name of the Pingluan Pavilion prison is to fornicate with the national teacher of the Tuvassal State. He had three concubines, and his favorite concubine was also imprisoned by Pingluan Pavilion, saying that the woman was a spy sent by the national teacher of the Tuvassal State to Da Zhou. ”

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and Sanbao and the others didn't dare to move, waiting silently.

"What's going on with Lord Qi?"

"Lord Qi is resting today, and he has never entered the palace."

"Such a big deal, he doesn't get involved? Did the Queen Mother send someone to send a message to Lord Qi today? ”

"The person sent to Lord Qi's mansion today said that Lord Qi had not left the mansion for a day today, and stayed alone in the quiet room, and even the food was sent over to eat."

"Did you give it away or did you really eat it?" The tone was sarcastic.

Sanbao raised his head slightly and glanced at the emperor, and quickly bowed his head and replied: "It's eaten." "Whether it is the Queen Mother or Lord Qi, all these years have been doing their best for the court and the emperor, but unfortunately this master is not at ease with anyone, and he has been sending people to keep an eye on Lord Qi all the year round. He doesn't care how many things he needs to deal with inside and outside here, which shouldn't be doubted and speculated, but he has never been left behind. If it weren't for the support of the Queen Mother and Lord Qi over the years, I don't know how many mistakes have been made. Today, Pingluan Pavilion started to take people, although it was very sudden and there were many people, but after receiving the detailed report, Sanbao's first feeling was that many people really deserved it. Such a meticulous operation, if it weren't for Tang Sangongzi, I am afraid that it would be difficult to do it if I were someone else. The previous Yutai generals were not assassinated, even if they were poisoned, of course, there were also those who were suspected of being killed by the opponent after the opponent made a counter-plot, in short, there was no good ending. If it weren't for the fact that there was no candidate in the crisis, it would be impossible for people to take over in the rivers and lakes. It took so much thought and energy to convince him, and he guessed and guessed. Sambo is really scared sometimes. Looking at the emperor's suspicion of the previous Yutai generals and their fate, I am afraid that he will not be much better, not to mention that he does not have Tang Sanshao's empress dowager aunt and grandmother and Tang Men as backing. He had been thinking about the future for a long time, but after so many years, he really couldn't make up his mind.
