The queen mother, the sons must travel far away. After ---- mother, the sons are not filial. After ----- mother, the sons couldn't stand it----
In the dream, Chongxi, the most beloved son, screamed and drifted away. Frightened, Empress Hua Yuling opened her sleepy eyes, turned over and sat up, stretched her arms forward, and shouted in a panic at the same time: Emperor, you come back. Emperor, I still have something to say to you in the future! Emperor, the weather is sunny or rainy when you go out. You have to pay attention to----
Suddenly, she realized that there was no one in front of her. It's just one side of the "Changle Palace" Roman green gauze tent!
The scene in front of me completely woke up Empress Hua Yuling: What I saw and heard just now was just my own "Nanke dream"!
After waking up from the dream, Empress Hua Yuling's mood could no longer calm down. She frowned and thought: In my dreams, I was always in a clear sky with no clouds. With the emperor smiling, riding a horse and whipping on the green grassland! Hey, it's a dream today. Why did it become an extremely sad scene of "mother and son separation"?
At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt: nightmares will never come out of thin air, according to the second emperor Chongxi's sticky energy towards us in the past. Before going out of the palace this time to observe the people's feelings and public opinions, he will definitely come to the "Changle Palace" to say "take care of your body" to us! How could they suddenly say goodbye without saying goodbye?
Thinking of this, Empress Hua Yuling couldn't help but look sideways at the man beside her. What catches your eye is a pair of eyes that are wide open, as if you are focusing on a photo. Staring at her without blinking!
The man's words of concern followed: Queen, why are you thinking nonsense?
Then, the man said angrily: What's the matter, doesn't the queen still trust my "Chrysostom and Jade Words"?
Hearing this, Empress Hua Yuling said in a snort: Your Majesty, we just dreamed that Chongxi came to bid me farewell. I don't know what's going on, my heart is "poofing" and jumping wildly!
As soon as her words landed, Emperor Yongxi turned over and sat up and hugged her and said: Empress, because the second emperor didn't come to the "Changle Palace" all day. You were nervous last night, so you dreamed of meeting him to say goodbye to you!
As he spoke, he put his mouth to the woman's earlobe and said gently: As long as you are willing to listen to me, stay calm and calm in the "Changle Palace" today. Tomorrow, you'll be in a good mood!
The man's words have already said this. Of course, Empress Hua Yuling understands: If she insists on not listening to persuasion again, in case she provokes the person in front of her, who is a son of heaven. Maybe, he will make up a reason to go into the cold palace to live in the "dark"!
Thinking about the pros and cons of the matter, she could only beat his chest helplessly and coquettishly: Your Majesty, today we will stay in the "Changle Palace" according to you and don't want anything. In the future, if you let us know that you have something to hide from us. But don't blame us for having two brothers messing around with you!
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but think: Hey, I finally passed another hurdle early this morning. It's so mysterious!
At this time, outside the "Changle Palace", there was a sissy voice from the chief eunuch Li Gonggong: Your Majesty, there are many ministers who are waiting for you to go to the court outside the "Qinzheng Palace". It's time to get started!
This remark was a code that the two negotiated outside the "Diligent Government Palace" yesterday. When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he immediately pressed Empress Hua Yuling down lightly on the bed and pecked her fragrant lips and kissed her twice. Only then did he turn around and quickly dress up and freshen up, and then grabbed a round iron box and took some bags of pastries. With a wry smile, he put it in his trouser pocket and opened the door and walked out!
Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand, holding the master's hand, and walked to the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace". Only then did he lower his voice and say: Your Majesty, the queen's personal maid Xiaoyu has something to tell you. The eldest prince of the East Palace also asked Ding Jianguo, the "guard with a knife in front of the palace", to talk to him just now, saying that he was waiting for you outside the "imperial study" to talk about something!
Immediately, Emperor Yongxi was so shocked that he "chuckled" in his heart: My God, "Xiaoyu" and "Big Prince" are the closest people around the queen. At this moment, how could they have something to do with me at the same time? Could it be that they and I played a game of "cut first and then play". Come to me early this morning for a showdown!
Thinking like this, he felt a wave of cool air rise from his back bones. Soon, it spread and froze like ice and snow: every nerve and every cell in his body!
A sense of foreboding immediately flashed in Emperor Yongxi's mind: In this way, from last night to now. Queen Hua is completely acting for me! Perhaps, she will release the carrier pigeon to the border later, and only the two brothers will be at the border. Oops, if that's the case. What can I do to keep the world?
Seeing this, the chief eunuch Li Gonggong kindly reminded: Your Majesty, the slave just observed the expressions of "Xiaoyu" and "Big Prince". They don't seem to have the slightest ill will towards you!
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but think secretly: If the two of them had told the truth to the queen yesterday. Even if Queen Hua can act in an "emotional play", can she still pretend to act "seamlessly" with the "pain of losing a child" in her heart?
At this moment, he thought of another most critical question: Yesterday, if the maid Xiaoyu and the eldest prince Chongxi really told the truth to Queen Hua. Wouldn't it be "self-defeating" to come to me for a showdown now? Well, if that's what I thought it was. The two of them will definitely choose to go to the border to find the master's two brothers to report the situation!
Emperor Yongxi, who had thought it through, finally believed the words of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch. He couldn't help but blame himself in frustration: yes, we were really "mediocre people" just now. Heck, it's a critical moment. How can we "mess with ourselves"?
The words popped out, and he looked around. However, a foggy world lingers in front of you. But I can't see a single figure!
Emperor Yongxi glanced in the direction of "Changle Palace", lowered his voice and said: Gonggong Li, where is Xiaoyu?
Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, stretched out his hand to the east and said like a mosquito and a fly: Your Majesty, the slave knows that this place is not a place to talk about things. Just dare to call the shots and let Xiaoyu go to the "Royal Study" to wait for you!
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi learned two bird calls.
Immediately, a figure flew in front of them and clasped his hands into fists and said, "Your Majesty, please command!"
Emperor Yongxi said majestically: Guard Li, please bring someone to watch here. Don't let go of an insider to enter the harem, if there is a violator, you will be killed!
As soon as the words landed, he dragged the hand of the chief eunuch Li Gonggong and flew towards the "imperial study". At the same time, he couldn't help but shake his head and say: The women in the harem are all long-haired and short-sighted, in case they know the news of the death of the second prince of the East Palace. The entire dynasty is about to be "ruined"!
When Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch heard this, he couldn't help but say: Your Majesty, the queen was "sincere" to everyone at the beginning. It's really impressive! It's like the current Queen Hua who relies on her two elder brothers to have military power, and no one cares about it. What about disgusting?
Shocked, Emperor Yongxi turned his head and stretched out a finger to his mouth, making a "shhhhh Then he lowered his voice and said: Gonggong Li, what kind of woman is the queen? I've got it all in my heart! It's just that I haven't thought of a suitable countermeasure to deal with Queen Hua's two elder brothers for the time being. Don't tell anyone else what you say in your heart!
Only then did the listener realize that he had said something he should not have said. Immediately put one hand out of his hand and cover his mouth tightly, and stop talking!
A moment later, the master and servant flew down to the bluestone slab outside the "imperial study". The maid Xiaoyu and the eldest prince Chongxi took a step forward, bent down and wanted to kneel down!
Emperor Yongxi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xi'er, Xiaoyu, you two will be exempted from those etiquettes today." Hurry up and follow me into the study!
Chongxi and the maid Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up, and the two looked at each other and said, "Later, which of us will say it first?"
At this time, the majestic voice of Emperor Yongxi. Got into the ears of the two in time: Gonggong Li, I'm tired of you staring here. No one can put it in until we come out!
Next, they saw the emperor walk into the "imperial study" by himself. followed up, and at the same time, they said in unison as if they had made an appointment: Which of us says first, it will be decided by the emperor!
Hearing the two people behind him standing still, Emperor Yongxi said gently: Xiaoyu, you say it first!
Hearing this, the maid Xiaoyu blurted out: Your Majesty, Lin Guiren of the "Jade Palace" went to the thatched house to go to the toilet last night. When she was done, she walked out and saw eight black-clothed people carrying shovels into the "Imperial Tomb", she had summoned three thousand beauties from the harem to the "Jade Palace" last night!
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi's body suddenly shuddered. Immediately afterwards, he said coldly: Under the circumstance that the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army were patrolling in turn, this woman was able to drum all the three thousand beauties of the harem to the "Jade Palace". It's not easy!
Xiaoyu, a maid who is good at observing words and feelings, knows that the red-faced emperor has been furious. said cautiously: Lin Guiren also said that if it weren't for the death of some important person in the palace. The emperor will not issue a decree to order the eight men in black to enter the "imperial tomb" in the middle of the night with shovels!
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but habitually peek at Emperor Yongxi's face. Then he went on again: At that time, Xu Guifei of the "Yiqing Palace" told the sisters. Her elder brother, who was discussing in the "Qinzheng Palace", said that when the emperor went to the court yesterday, he dictated that all civil and military ministers should not leak a single piece of news. As for the news, her brother didn't say it!
When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he couldn't help but say: Xiaoyu, I know that those women will definitely speculate on this. Now, what I want to know is----
Before he could finish speaking, the maid Xiaoyu blurted out: Your Majesty, the master of the slave told the sisters at that time. How to deal with the affairs of the court is the obligation and responsibility that the emperor must be in charge of. The guidelines and regulations of all dynasties also do not allow our female generation to intervene in the government. Tonight, the big guy broke up early. Let's go back to their respective palaces and make up for sleep!
Emperor Yongxi thought to himself: You maid, you are really shrewd enough. What kind of person is your master? Can I still not know?
However, he still knew it: before he came up with a plan to deal with Queen Hua's two elder brothers. In front of her eldest son, she must not say these words!
So, Emperor Yongxi deliberately gave a thumbs up and said: Xiaoyu, this is your master's cleverness. In the future, you will learn to do the same!
The maid Xiaoyu hurriedly said: Your Majesty, our master stood up and left his seat after speaking. However, when we helped her to the "Jade Palace", we saw that those concubines did not move! Later, we helped the master into the "Changle Palace". I had one more heart and turned back, and I happened to see their personal maids holding hands and walking towards the "Imperial Tomb"!
Perhaps because her mouth was dry after talking for a long time, she stopped swallowing and said, "I followed them quietly, so I saw the four girls take out their jewelry and jade to distract the twelve men in black." The other two slipped into the "Imperial Tomb" for an hour before they came out! I think they must have seen something useful. Otherwise, they would have drilled out of the curved round hole on the west side of the corridor in front of the "Imperial Tomb". They won't happily hug each other!
Hearing this, the eldest prince Chongxi couldn't help but shout: Oops, we just saw a few mothers-in-law carrying shovels to the "Imperial Tomb". It turns out that this is the case!
As soon as his words landed, he was scolded by Emperor Yongxi: Xi'er, so to speak. You also went to the "Imperial Tomb" just now! Go burn paper money for him? Go drink and chat with him? At this juncture, why are your brains muddy? Going there today, don't you think it's too ostentatious?
Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became excited: Xi'er, you have always been calmer and more low-key than Xi'er. Why can't you endure the brotherhood when it comes to a critical moment? Wait until I think of a plan to deal with your mother, and then solve your brother's problem satisfactorily. It's not too late for you to burn paper money for him!
As Emperor Yongxi spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and rub his son's cheek and said earnestly: Xi'er, you are in a hurry to come to me to ask for the holy decree. You must have forgotten to take away the plates, food boxes, flasks, and cups for dishes and fruits! As long as your mother-in-law enters the "Imperial Mausoleum" and sees the utensils placed in front of the tomb and the ones that fell to the ground, they will naturally understand whose palace these utensils are from. These scheming women don't have to dig the cemetery at all. You can guess who the owner of the tomb is!
said that the eldest prince Chongxi regretted it. He waved his hands and smashed them on his cheeks, and said, "Father, the son now knows that everything he did today was wrong. In the days to come, I will keep my father's words in my heart. Always spur yourself on and try to make corrections!
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Emperor Yongxi with a "poof" and said: Father, I hope you will forgive your son's mistake this time. Please hurry up and draw up a holy decree, and let the chief eunuch Li Gonggong go to the "Imperial Mausoleum" to announce the decree and let the mother-in-law return to the palace. Otherwise, after a long time, Xiao Anzi may not be able to cope with them!
Hearing this, the maid Xiaoyu also hurriedly knelt down to help: Your Majesty, Lin Guiren and several noble concubines have been peeping at our master's status for a long time. This time I will definitely take this opportunity to make a fuss, without further ado!
When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he stretched out his hand and dragged the two of them and said: This little matter does not need to be bothered to draft a holy decree. Relax and wait for the good news to come!
Immediately, he turned to the "Imperial Study" and raised his arms and shouted: Gonggong Li, you immediately go to the "Imperial Mausoleum" to spread my words. Ling Lin nobles and several concubines quickly returned to the palace to reflect, if there is a violation of the order, it will be killed!
Your Majesty, the slave will go. Hurry up to the palace of Qinzheng to go to court!
Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, said a crisp yes, and then hurriedly turned around and ran to: The "Imperial Mausoleum" located by the north gate of the backyard!
