Coming out of Mingyue Tower, I stood at the door of the building and looked at Tongque Street in front of me. It's always a thriving place. No matter how turbulent the undercurrent of the imperial court is, as long as no major incidents occur, the lives of the common people will still be the same.

I know that they have their sufferings, and they have to run for life, for their appetites; But they also have their own pleasures that we can't match.

When I was a child, I read books, and I didn't know what to enjoy in "Kong Yan Le Place", is it really fun to "eat a spoonful of food, drink a scoop, and be in the alley"? At that time, I always felt that "going back and not changing its fun" was a bit of a dead face.

Now that I think about it, I don't have to work hard, I don't intrigue, I live the simplest life, maybe I really have fun.

Look at the end of the road again, the wide road stretches into the distance, as long as I get in the carriage and walk along this road, just a bag of cigarettes, I can go back to my mother's house in Taiwei's Mansion to see my mother and Xiaowu.

However, how can a person who is a queen go back to her parents' house casually?

When the queen returns to her parents' house, it is called a provincial family, which is a major event in the palace. From the chief eunuch to the accompanying little palace maid, they had to prepare nervously for a few days. To put out a detailed itinerary, to write a long list of gifts, every small detail must be considered in advance, there can be no omission, no mistakes.

On the day of the provincial relatives, you have to get up early in the morning to clear the palace and remove the road, and you have to put on a full set of Luan, fluttering flags, blowing and blowing, before you can set off. Otherwise, it is not in line with the national body and violates etiquette. It will even become a laughing stock in the mouths of the nobles of the capital.

Thinking of this, I smiled self-deprecatingly. My life has been completely complicated, every move. There's a lot at stake. Leaving the palace in micro-clothes like today is actually very unetiquette. If you are seen by those old antiques, you will be calloused.

I was concentrating. A luxury carriage suddenly came in front of me with a sudden brake "squeak" - sorry, not "squeak". It's "huh" - stop in front of the building. The two-headed horse was pulled by a sharp pull, and let out a long neigh, and the horse's hooves slammed into place, raising a puff of dust.

Xiao Cui hurriedly pulled me back two steps, and the entourage also vigilantly protected me. The chief of the guard asked sharply, "Who is it?" His hand was already holding the sword at his waist.

I saw the opening of the car curtain. A familiar face was revealed. Immediately afterwards, a voice with a little surprise said unusually affectionately, "Brother Chen, I thought I was wrong, it turned out to be the emperor's sister-in-law, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”

I also smiled reluctantly, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu here., ap, the fastest update."

Sima Wei, the king of Chu, got out of the car, looked up at Mingyue Tower, and said, "Why does the imperial sister-in-law have time to come to the restaurant today?" ”

I secretly rejoiced that it was fortunate that Wei Jin had left and didn't bump into him, otherwise, how many incidents would there be if I said it.

I waited for Wei Jin to walk for a while before going downstairs. What I'm afraid of is meeting acquaintances, but I can't imagine that I still meet them.

Without Wei Jin, I'm alone. And standing in my own restaurant, I'm not afraid of what he chews. At the moment, he said calmly, "I'm bored in the palace." I want to come out and relax. There are a lot of people on the street. I didn't dare to walk around, so I went to my own restaurant. Sit upstairs and look at the streetscape. ”

Sima Wei secretly glanced at the front and back, left and right, and didn't find any "suspicious characters", so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, I stay in the palace all day, and I am really depressed." It's just that the imperial sister-in-law is now extraordinary, and she must be strictly protected on the street. Then he looked at the entourage I brought and said, "The imperial sister-in-law is still too careless, just bring such a few people, what is the use of what happened." ”

I also smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm just a woman's family, when I go shopping, will someone stab me?" ”

Sima Wei said solemnly: "That's not necessarily! Niangniang is now pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed. If those gangsters intend to kidnap the mother to blackmail the emperor, wouldn't it be bad? And, haven't you heard of it? The land of Youyan in the north has been in turmoil recently, and some places have raised flagpoles to openly fight against the imperial army. During this time, the court has been discussing this matter, didn't the emperor tell his mother when he went back? ”

I was shocked, "No, the emperor never mentioned it to me."

Wouldn't he be afraid that I would worry because I was pregnant, so he deliberately hid it from me, right?

At this time, because we are a "Niangniang" and a "Your Highness" to call us, it has attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, Sima Wei said, "It's inconvenient to stand here and talk, why don't we go in and find a seat to sit down and talk."

I nodded, and Shopkeeper Yuan hurriedly led us upstairs to a quiet seat.

Since the last time I received the night pearl given to me by Sima Weituo Liang Jingren, I haven't talked to him properly. He wouldn't give me such a big gift for no reason, he must have begged me for something. Since I met him on the street today, I might as well listen to what he has to say to me.

After sitting down, Sima Wei picked up a cup of tea, looked at me and said, "Brother Chen has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." When you don't talk about the ground, why don't you speak? He whispered, "The imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law use the Runan Wang family so much, didn't they think that they would ......?"

"What will happen?"

"Well, hehe, my brother doesn't dare to say anything. I just think it's a little too risky. Imperial sister-in-law, you think, his father, one controls the government and the other holds the forbidden army, and the military and political power is equivalent to being in the hands of their family. Once they have any bad intentions, the entire court can become theirs in the blink of an eye. Don't forget, the imperial sisters-in-law, they are also surnamed Sima. ”

This issue has not been discussed with the emperor, but it is indeed a problem. But when the Yang family was destroyed, the royal father of Runan made great contributions. After the success of "overthrowing Yang", there was a power vacuum in both the imperial court and the forbidden army, and the prince of Runan seized the opportunity and almost logically took over the power of the original Yang Jundi. The development of events confirmed my fears at the time, and "Yang Jun" was down, and another "Sima Jun" came, which was more dangerous than "Yang Jun". Because, as Sima Wei said, they are also surnamed Sima Di.

Later, I persuaded the emperor to recruit Wei into the palace in order to contain the royal father of Runan. Unexpectedly, they colluded and delusionally wanted to form a power alliance to seek the greatest political interests together.

I looked at Sima Wei in front of me, could he be an opportunity to change the current political situation?

So I nodded and sighed, "Me and your imperial brother, why didn't you think of this?" But his father has merit, and he cannot be rewarded for his deeds. Now they are not at fault, and it is not easy to pull them down casually. ”

Sima Wei was anxious, "But in the long run, let their father and his father control the government, and the power will become bigger and bigger, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Who doesn't understand this? It's just like, "Is there anything that can be done to stop them from expanding?"

Sima Wei smiled and said, "There is a way, I am afraid that Niangniang will think that her brother is selfish." ”

"Just say it, the imperial sister-in-law won't think like that...... "It's strange!" You just want to pull down Ma Miao of Dong'an Company, and then catch the forbidden army in your hands.

However, in the current situation, it is indeed better to let Sima Wei, the king of Chu, lead the forbidden army than to use Sima Xuan. Even if it is just a foreign minister, it is a dangerous thing to let the father and one person control the government and the other control the forbidden army. What's more, they are still the grandsons of Sima Huang, and the danger has increased several times.

Sima Wei hesitated for a while, and finally said in the future, "It is to remove Sima Miao from the position of commander of the forbidden army and send him back to his original fiefdom, so that his father has lost the son who controls the forbidden army, and he will not dare to be so arrogant in the imperial court." Sure enough, it's such a calculation! I smiled and said, "Your imperial brother and I have this intention. We have been discussing privately that we want to remove Sima Miao and make you the commander of the forbidden army. You are the emperor's own brother, and we are very relieved that you are in charge of the guards of the palace. After all, when you go into battle, you have to look at your brothers to fight tigers. ”

"yes, yes." Sima Wei nodded again and again, "Then the king of Runan is already our uncle again, and Sima Miao is even more retangled, he can only be regarded as a clansman, but I hate that he always pretends to be an uncle in front of me." ”

Now that there is an agreement on this, then, "Brother Wei thinks, how can we remove Sima Xuan's military power?" He can't be dismissed without a legitimate reason, and his father has the right to get rid of him, which is not an easy task.

Sima Wei also frowned. I pay attention to his expression, could it be that he doesn't know about the marriage between the Wei family and Sima Xuan?

I asked tentatively, and sure enough, he said, "Why haven't I heard of such a thing?" ”

This can only show that his relationship with the royal father of Runan is really very bad, so that he has not heard any news of such a major event.

At the same time, it also made me question his ability to do things.

Since he wanted to deal with the royal father of Runan and wanted to gnaw such a hard bone, he didn't do any homework in advance, such as planting cronies next to Sima Xuan.

At worst, you should always ask well-informed people about the other party's movements. Now even such a major event as the Runan Wang family, I am a person in the deep palace who knows about it, and he still doesn't know anything. What great things can you expect him to accomplish?

However, since he was so eager to replace Sima Xuan, he could still reluctantly pull him over as a helper. After all, he can't handle these intricate relationships, but he has a momentum, and he still has an army of thousands of people at hand. For those who have courage but no strategy, they do not rely on what they use, but only use their courage.
