Chapter 10: Conspiracy
This middle-aged man's name is Di He, and in Langzhong of Xingzhongshu Province in the imperial court of the Northern Wilderness, he is only a petty official from the fifth grade, but he is in the central organization, and he has been able to enter the court to participate in the government.
Di He was originally a big official, but later offended a big man, but fortunately, because her wife had a good relationship with the concubine, she got the help of the concubine, which saved her life, but she was demoted.
Since then, this Di He has been a close confidant of the concubine, which is not surprising. The Northern Wilderness, like the Great Zhou, has regulations that the harem is not allowed to participate in court politics, but this does not prevent the people of the harem from cultivating their own power in the court.
Xuanyue, as the only child left by the concubine, naturally inherited her mother's power.
"Today in the court, King Zuo Xian said that he wanted to kill Zhang Peng, and none of the Qings dared to say no. Zhang Peng was wide-eyed and angry, wanting to kill King Zuo Xian before he died, but was suppressed by the guards in front of him. Speaking of what he saw and heard in the early days of the dynasty today, Di He still sighed for a long time.
"Whoever dares to disobey will definitely be hated by Helian Hu. In order to survive, this is human nature. Xuanyue sighed lightly.
Di He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xuanyue's hand, this paper recorded many names, and even the flat chapter of today's Northern Wilderness was on it.
Di He said: "These people, through the minister's long-term observation, have been very dissatisfied with King Zuoxian. In the future, it may be able to help us. ”
Xuanyue saw the paper from beginning to end, and then placed the paper on the flame of the lamp. Under the watchful eyes of the two, the paper was burned to ashes.
"Some people are really for the Northern Wilderness, and some people are for their own interests. Helian Hu's hand has stretched out too long over the years, which has caused dissatisfaction in the hearts of many old nobles. But this is also a good thing, when it comes to interests, they have long wanted to break Helian Hu's body into pieces. Xuanyue said casually.
Di He's eyes showed a hint of essence: "We can use these people to gradually disintegrate the power of King Zuo Xian!" ”
Xuanyue smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to say, the authority of the world is supported by money and soldiers." Helian Hu is not only rich, but also the strongest in the military. The army in the capital city all respected the orders of King Zuoxian, and the generals in the court were all from his account. In the past, King Youxian was better in Shangjing, but since King Youxian left, he has been unscrupulous, and it is true that no one can cure him. ”
"Then what should we do now, Your Highness, you are going to marry into the Beishan Department. The minister has already inquired, although the eldest prince of the northern mountain department is a little brave, but he does not have any brains, and all decisions are still made by his advisers. is clearly a martial artist, and he really can't match your Highness. Di He smiled bitterly.
The corners of Xuanyue's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, but this expression was quickly hidden by her.
Thump!
Outside the window, there was a sudden sound of wings flapping, which startled everyone in the room. Xuanyue took a few steps back, hiding herself behind the screen.
It was a carrier pigeon that came.
Di He took down a note from the carrier pigeon, ran to Xuanyue with an excited face, and said, "Your Highness, that's done!" ”
Xuanyue glanced at the note, what was written on it was very strange, it should be a secret language.
"I didn't expect them to agree to come down......," Xuanyue muttered.
Di He burned the note in his hand and said solemnly: "This is an opportunity, if Your Highness wants to be controlled by others in the future, you must seize this opportunity!" ”
At this moment, Xiao Cui suddenly walked in and whispered, "Your Highness, the time is almost up." ”
Xuanyue nodded, and covered the palace maid's hood again. Her cloak was so large that it completely covered her face.
Di He stepped forward and said, "This paper says that in three days, he will wait for His Highness in a temple outside the West City Gate. ”
Xuan Yue's brows couldn't help frowning.
Three days later, it was her wedding day.
However, she was only worried for a moment, then furrowed her brows, waved her hand and said, "Tell him that I will arrive on time." ”
Coming out of the restaurant, Xuanyue and Xiaocui did not alarm anyone, and quietly re-entered the palace maid.
The precious medicinal materials and fabrics that they bought were needed to be brought by the way. But these things are just to hide people's eyes when they enter the palace, and they don't need to send them back in person.
Halfway through, the two went straight back to the palace.
In front of the palace there are guarded maids, the two women did not pass through the main entrance, the Wutong Hall is located in a bamboo forest, not surrounded by walls, so the two have already walked along the path from the back door.
It's not that the two of them can't go through the main gate, it's just that many of the maids at the main gate are Helian Hu's eyeliner. If it is discovered, it is inevitable that there will be unnecessary incidents.
Before entering the palace, Xuanyue saw a row of honor guards, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were waiting outside the Wutong Hall in a sedan chair.
The maid Xiao Tao hurriedly ran over, she had been waiting anxiously at the back door, and when she saw Xuanyue, she hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, you are back, where did you go?" ”
Xiao Tricy said: "It's not once or twice that Your Highness sneaked out, why are you still making such a fuss?" ”
Xiao Tao's face was a little weird, she looked behind her, and whispered, "The emperor has just come over!" ”
"Your Majesty?"
The surprise on Xiao Cui's face flashed, and then she smiled: "It turned out to be the emperor, it scared me to death." ”
The first emperor Kunlun Khan had few heirs, and he fought countless battles in his life, and many young sons died young. After the throne of Kunlun Khan was stabilized, there was Helian to carry this young son.
Unfortunately, not long after having this young son, Kunlun Khan died, and the young young emperor succeeded to the throne. Since then, it has always been the right and right kings to control the government.
Because he had no brothers and sisters, the little emperor could only live alone in this palace wall.
Fortunately, six years ago, the appearance of Xuanyue finally gave the little emperor a person to talk to. This little emperor pretends to be solemn in the court on weekdays, but in fact he is just a child who has not grown up. often follows Xuanyue like an oil bottle, and it can be said that he obeys the words of the imperial sister.
The little emperor naturally knew that Xuanyue often secretly ran out of the palace, and he swore in front of Xuanyue that he would not tell anyone else, so Xiaocui felt that it was not a big deal.
But Xiao Tao's face was very panicked.
Xuan Yue frowned and said, "The guard of honor in front of the Wutong Hall doesn't seem to be the emperor's. ”
Xiao Tao nodded again and again, and whispered: "It's the queen's mother......"
As soon as Xiao Tao's words fell, he suddenly heard a high-spirited voice from the palace behind him: "It turns out that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has returned, which really makes the palace easy to find." ”
