Back at the Mingguang Temple, after freshening up, we began to lie down on the bed and chat.

I first asked the question I was most concerned about: "What did you talk about with King Qi today?" ”

He replied, "It's just talking about the current situation." ”

"And what good advice does he have?"

"Some were also mentioned. It can be seen from his conversation that although Uncle Wang did not serve in the imperial court, he still knew a lot about the situation in the court. He was also unaccustomed to some of Yang Jun's practices, and he also felt that the situation should be reversed as soon as possible and the Empress Dowager Party should be expelled. ”

"The Queen Mother?" I laughed, and the name was apt, "Then, isn't it the royal party who supports you?" ”

"It's royalists. This is still a new term that Uncle Wang told me today. ”

This "new term" made me feel different. The emperor needs to be protected, which shows the urgency of the situation.

"Then, is King Qi willing to protect you as the emperor?"

Or does he want to wait for the emperor to be completely turned into a useless ornament by the Yang family, or even abolished, and then he will come out and raise his arms to save the crisis, so as to ascend to the emperor's throne as the lord of Sima Huang's dynasty?

"Well, I can't figure out Uncle Wang's mind. You also know that he is an elder after all, and there are some things that he doesn't say, and I don't want to ask them. "Then did you ask him to come out and be an official in the imperial court? Did you say that you plan to make him a commonplace, even if Yang Jun and his gang are resolutely opposed, they have to find a way to issue an edict? ”

"Yes, but he refused."

Refused? How so?

My heart was tangled. When the emperor was so isolated, he, as the emperor's own uncle, actually stood by and watched! This made a big impression of him.

Could it be that he really had another calculation in his heart? Be prepared to take a wait-and-see attitude and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Wait for the political chaos to reach a certain level. The emperor completely lost the support of the people, and the Yang family gradually showed signs of usurpation, and then came out of the mountain to replace the emperor in one fell swoop?

See the emperor's depressed appearance. I don't know how to comfort him. If even his princes and uncles don't care about family affection, let alone the kings of the side branch clans of King Runan. After a moment of silence. I asked again, "How did you talk with Liang Jingren, Zhang Hua and Ji Shao?" ”

The emperor showed a little happy look and said, "That's pretty good, it's the fastest update. Especially Zhang Hua, what a talent, I am ready to promote him to be a book supervisor. Let him walk in the imperial study. lest I want to draw up a purpose, but also look at the faces of Hua and He Shao. Last time, I wanted to seal Uncle Wang and ask them to draft a decree, but they would only kneel on the ground and kowtow, and they didn't dare to use their pen, and they were angry with me. ”

"But", I had to remind him, "Yang Jun will never agree to you to make Zhang Hua the book supervisor." With the position of scrivener, he will definitely leave it to his confidant. I heard that he was ready to drive Lian Hua away and replace him with his nephew Duan Fei. But so. This matter is not without remedy, you can retreat to the next best thing and seal Zhang Hua as a counselor. Anyway, the counselor can also walk in the imperial study. Do you want him to draw up a will, or not? ”

The emperor turned his head, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Yes." Or will you figure it out. I'm also worried that Yang Jun will try his best to obstruct it again. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried now, even if you confer Zhang Hua as a doctor, he won't agree." "What then?" The emperor was a little anxious.

I thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you do this?" You tell Yang Jun first. If you want to seal Zhang Hua as a book supervisor, Yang Jun will definitely oppose it. When he opposes it, you start to fight hard, even if it's red-faced. When it really doesn't work in the end, you can mention it helplessly, then make him a counselor, and after speaking, he quickly left the imperial study, pretending to be very angry and disappointed and walked away. ”

"Uh-huh." The emperor agreed and snuggled into my arms.

I knew that he was sleepy, so I patted him lightly on the back and said, "If you have any edicts that you don't want Yang Jun to know in the future, you will quietly ask Zhang Hua to prepare it." When the people of the Yang family were not in the imperial study, they quickly took it in and stamped it, and then took it directly to the court to announce it. When the holy decree is really read, can Yang Jun still tell you to take it back in public, "Well, my queen is so smart, then I will do it in the future." He yawned profusely as he spoke.

After the emperor fell asleep, I woke up alone in the dark, thinking about King Qi's rejection of the emperor today.

No matter how you think about it, I think this thing is a bit unreasonable. King Qi has not been reused in the hands of the former emperor, and now it is easy to have the opportunity to show his talents, why not seize the good opportunity?

Could it be that he really had that kind of calculation in his heart?

No, I'll have to find a way to talk to him.

I talked to Xiao Cui about this idea, and Xiao Cui said, "The question is, where do you talk to him?" Are you going to the Qi Palace? I don't know what kind of face Jia Quan gave you when I got there. Although now that her mother lives at home, the relationship between you has eased a little, but when it comes to her father-in-law, she will definitely guard against you like a thief. Even if you go to King Qi's mansion, you won't have the opportunity to meet King Qi alone. Does King Xuanqi come to Mingguang Palace? That's even more inconsequential. Counting it out, he is an uncle, you are a nephew and daughter-in-law, and you have had that period before, and now you will be discussed when you meet alone. ”

Not in the palace, "Then outside the palace." ”

Xiaocui still shook her head, "Outside the palace, where?" Going back to the Taiwei's Mansion again? Now Jia Quan's mother lives there, and she has ready-made eyes and ears. Also, it is not common sense for King Qi to go to Taiwei's Mansion alone, even if he goes to see his mother-in-law, he should go with Jia Quan. ”

That's right, then, "Let's go to Mingyue Tower." I disguised myself as a eunuch and went out of the palace, and after I left the palace, I changed into the clothes of ordinary people. As for this matter of leading the contact, I will leave it to you. You can go to Zhang Hua, or Manager Zhang. But don't let Zhang Hong know. That little is loyal to the emperor, don't think that there is something wrong with me and King Qi, it's not good to run and tell the emperor. Although I didn't do anything unseemly, and the emperor could make it clear if he knew, I still didn't want to make a fuss. ”

Xiao Cui nodded and left.

The next night, she quietly told me that the matter was done, and the seat of Mingyue Tower was also set. The day after tomorrow is set for the day after tomorrow.

I asked her, "Why the morning?" Sneaking out of the palace in the morning, what if someone comes to Mingguang Hall to pay a visit in the morning? ”

Xiao Cui said disappreciably, "What are other people afraid of when they come, just mess up with a reason, and they won't be so impatient to investigate." It's really inconvenient to go in the afternoon, in case you come back late, and the emperor comes back early, wouldn't it be bad? It's not that you haven't understood the emperor's stickiness, he didn't see you when he came in, and he was looking for it everywhere, and if he couldn't find it, he would be restless I blushed. Indeed, although he is now the emperor, he is still the very clingy kraft candy man.

His daily arrangement now is to go to the morning court, and then go to the Qinzheng Hall to review the chapters, and then go back to my Mingguang Hall to rest.

If there were few chapters that day, he would have been reviewed early, and he would have come back early.

Even if there are many concerts, they will come back on time for dinner.

No matter morning or night, when I came back, he guarded me and stayed at home.

One day, I was curious to ask him how he would read the cantata. He couldn't even read sentences well, let alone write chapters. What kind of recitals will he review?

He replied, "I approved it with Yang Jun." He is an auxiliary minister appointed by his father, and he is also a prince, and any music must be seen by him first. If he says it is accurate, I will mark it with a red character or draw a circle. If he can't say it for sure, he will put it aside. ”

My God, "Doesn't this mean that Yang Jun is reviewing the recital?" And Your Majesty, you're like ......"

"Like what?"

"It's like ......", I couldn't go on, the emperor was just like his scholar, holding a pen and waiting on the side. When he said quasi-playing, he wrote a "quasi-play"; If he can't say it, he will ignore it.

I said anxiously, "Can't you make up your own mind at all?" For example, you can also take a look at the pieces that he can't get rid of, maybe some of them are just right. ”

But he said, "At first, he let me see it myself." But when I looked at it, I thought it should be accurate, and he always didn't nod. I started fighting with him, but in the end he always won. Later, I didn't bother to watch it, and it was in vain anyway. He couldn't say for sure, so I let him go. "Your Majesty, you should take a look. Even if he doesn't allow it, you can see what he doesn't allow, and you have a good bottom in your heart. ”

The emperor smiled embarrassedly. Finally, he also knew that he, the emperor, was very sloppy.

Okay, Yang Jun didn't look at it, "Then he said that he could be accurate, what are the general things?" ”

You should know that.

"I don't remember, he read the music anyway. If he says yes, I'll take a pen and write a "quasi-play". Every day, I'm so annoyed that I don't bother to look at it, no matter what is written on it. ”

I have nothing to say, it turns out that this is how he "criticizes" the so-called reading of the music every day! When he went to court, it must not have been his turn to express any opinions.

I sadly thought that my emperor's husband had completely become a puppet emperor.

This must change.
