Chapter 699: Harem Fourteen
"Leave?" Chu Xiaochuan said, "Where can I go if I leave?" If I offend the royal family, who would dare to take me in? The family doesn't have the guts to fight against the royal family now. ”
"Let's go to the northwest." Gao Mingan pointed out a way for Chu Xiaochuan, which was the purpose of her looking for Chu Xiaochuan today. For the sake of the original owner, she will not let Chu Xiaochuan die, and hopes to help him. Although Chu Xiaochuan betrayed the emperor, he was affectionate and righteous, and he would not betray the Gao family if he only had the pillar and his two life-saving graces to him.
Chu Xiaochuan was taken aback, and then moved: "It will bring trouble to the Gao family." ”
Gao Mingan said: "Our Gao family is not afraid of trouble, the Yang family is not as good as our Gao family now, in the northwest, the Gao family is the king, and the royal power can't get there." ”
Chu Xiaochuan's heart was moved, and he said, "I need to think about it." ”
Gao Mingan said: "My father will return to the northwest in three days, and the Gao clan will withdraw from the capital. ”
Chu Xiaochuan said: "I will make a decision before there." ”
Gao Mingan picked up his teacup, Chu Xiaochuan stood up knowingly, and hugged his fist at Gao Mingan: "Say goodbye below." ”
Gao Mingan stood up: "Commander Chu walks slowly." ”
Chu Xiaochuan strode away, and when he walked to the door of the room, Gao Mingan paused at his feet and glanced back at Gao Mingan. Gao Ming'an stood there with a smile, elegant and dusty, as if a fairy had descended into the world, and his bearing was comparable to that of ordinary women. Chu Xiaochuan suddenly felt that he was really blind, and the emperor, he was even more blind than himself, and he liked a hypocritical poisonous woman like Gu Ruoping to throw a truly noble woman aside.
Empress Yang took the eldest prince to the court, and the ministers knew that the emperor was dead, and Empress Yang put all the fault on Gu Ruoping, saying that she killed the emperor. Although the ministers knew that something was wrong, the emperor was dead, Gu Ruoping had also become a human being, and her two sons were missing, leaving only the eldest prince as an heir. Empress Yang is the adoptive mother of the eldest prince, and now only the eldest prince can inherit the throne, as his adoptive mother, the ministers naturally want to give Empress Yang face, what she says is what she says.
The eldest prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, and Empress Yang became the queen mother. Empress Dowager Yang is very concerned about the disappearance of the two princes, and has been asking people to track down the whereabouts of the two princes, but she doesn't know that the two princes are raised in the palace and under her nose.
The new emperor took advantage of Empress Dowager Yang's attention to Renyu Gu Ruoping and tracking down the two princes, and found an opportunity to meet Gao Ming'an.
"Mother, can't you really stay?" The new emperor begged very reluctantly.
Gao Mingan touched the head of the new emperor: "The first emperor is dead, and all the concubines who have not given birth will be sent to Huangjue Temple to become monks, do you want me to go to the temple to be a nun?" ”
The little emperor shook his head violently.
Gao Ming'an said: "So, leaving is the best for me." But don't worry, I'll be visiting you every year. ”
"Really?" The little emperor asked hurriedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course it's true." Gao Mingan stretched out his right hand, "Why don't we pull the hook and seal it?" ”
The little emperor quickly stretched out his right hand, and his little finger hooked Gao Ming'an's little finger, "Hang yourself on the hook, you won't be allowed to change your ...... for a hundred years."
Gao Mingan withdrew his hand and touched the little emperor's head again: "Before leaving, I have a gift for you." ”
The little emperor asked, "What kind of gift?" ”
The tone was full of anticipation.
Gao Mingan pointed to the two cloth bags in the corner of the room, and said to the little emperor: "This is filled with high-yield grain, and the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties." By promoting these two crops, you will gain a lot of folk livelihood and will allow you to rise to power more quickly. ”
The little emperor burst into tears: "Niangniang is so good to me!" ”
In his heart, Gao Mingan is his mother, and Queen Yang is just a mother. Compared with Empress Dowager Yang's use of herself, Gao Mingan is really good to him. He understands both.
Although the little emperor was young, he knew the importance of food to a country. Gao Ming'an gave him grain that could produce high yields, which the little emperor couldn't have imagined at all.
Gao Ming'an left the palace with Chu Xue and a cadre of palace maids and eunuchs from Xian'an Palace, and they were able to leave the palace, these palace maids and eunuchs were very happy, they had been locked up by the palace for most of their lives, and they had the opportunity to leave the palace, they had nothing to do with it, and they were even more grateful to Gao Ming'an. These people are truly loyal to Gao Ming'an.
Soon after Gao Ming'an left the palace, the Gao family left the capital, and Chu Xiaochuan left with half of the Imperial Forest Army with the Gao family. There was an uproar in the court, the Gao family had broken with the royal family? Many families admire the determination and decisiveness of the Gao family, but it is a pity that they are accustomed to the privileged life in the capital and are unwilling to leave, not to mention, their family power has entered the past, and they do not have the perseverance of the Gao family to survive.
Empress Dowager Yang was very angry. I left the Gao family after I got on the throne, what do you mean? Not satisfied with your position? and Chu Xiaochuan, who is out of his control, is really good at what he does. He originally prepared a pot of poisoned wine for him, but he couldn't use it. This person left only when he knew his intentions, right?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but shudder. She's found a powerful enemy for herself! Gu Ruoping's two children have not been found yet, what if Chu Xiaochuan finds those two children and clears the monarch in the name of the former emperor's son, and then talks about killing the emperor with his own hands? Those ministers in the court can't spare themselves, right? They will let go of the little emperor with royal blood, but they will never let go of themselves.
The more Empress Dowager Yang thought about it, the more scared she became, and she was so sick.
However, Chu Xiaochuan did not tell what happened that night, nor did he think about finding out the two little princes Qingjun, Empress Dowager Yang was worried for a long time and did not wait for any bad news, her heart finally let go of half of it, and her illness gradually improved. After she recovered from her illness, she asked An Concubine, who was from the Gao family, to settle accounts, but found that the family had already left.
As a woman, Empress Dowager Yang's power is only in the harem, and the previous dynasty cannot interfere, even if the little emperor is still young, the courtiers will not let her listen to the government. And there are not many people in the harem now, and the little emperor is young, so naturally there are no wives and concubines; Almost all of the concubines of the first emperor went to Huangjue Temple to become monks, except for the Empress Dowager Yang, there was only one concubine who gave birth to a princess, and the others were all eunuchs and palace maids, and the Empress Dowager Yang was bored alone. She can't leave the palace, and she is locked up in this boxy harem all day long, what is the difference between being in prison?
There is no expectation in life, and the Empress Dowager Yang has no passion for life, living in the harem, the Empress Dowager Yang is like a withered old man.
