421 Monarchs
Empress Dowager Cui knew that Zhao Yao had plans to make Wang Linzhi the princess, and she was angry again.
"Gu Yue was just a third-grade general before, but now he has ascended to the sky in one step, and he is a very popular minister, isn't the county lord of Langya already a wife and a husband? Why did the emperor still crown Wang Linzhi as a princess?"
Zhao Yao smiled slyly, "I just want to verify that what Gu Yue taught me is really not practical, and the queen mother doesn't need to be too excited." ”
Not excited, how could she not be excited?
When Wang Linzhi was in her mother's house, she pressed them and these people, but after getting married, only her husband did not have such a mess as a concubine, not only that, but she also let Zhao Tong and her be separated from Germany, and the mother and son were suspicious!
Zhao Zhe is Wang Linzhi's uncle, it is understandable to favor her, she saved the Seventh Prince, and it is understandable that the other party wants to repay the favor.
Zhao Tong also said that she was a life-saving benefactor, but now that I think about it, it is just an excuse to hide people's ears!
What made Empress Dowager Cui most unwilling was that the first thing her son did when he took office was to first crown Wang Linzhi as the wife of the country, why?
Why did she Wang Linzhi rob her husband and win over her son?
"The queen mother doesn't mind if her son didn't discuss this matter with you?" Zhao Yao's face was full of puzzlement, "The minister will tell you the reason now." Gu Taiwei told me that the superior person should not expose his emotions, let alone let people guess his heart, and when he knows that his purpose is likely to be opposed by others, he can exaggerate this purpose, and then press it down to a range that is acceptable to others. ”
"Therefore, I first proposed to make the lord of Langya a princess, and many officials objected, so I named her the wife of the country, and then many ministers felt that I not only had opinions, but also were willing to accept their opinions. Of course, my purpose is not only here, I do this, the main purpose is to win over Gu Yue to be used by me sincerely, and I always have to give some small favors, I heard that he has always valued the Lord of Langya the most, so I will give grace to the Lord of Langya. ”
Empress Dowager Cui frowned, "But I heard that the emperor actually called the lord of Langya his aunt?" In this way, in the future, the hundred officials will think that you are afraid of Gu Yue, so they deliberately curry favor with him!
Zhao Yao lowered his head suddenly, and said listlessly: "Even the queen mother thinks so, I don't know what outsiders will think of me, they all say that I am the true son of heaven, but I am not as good as an ordinary person." ”
Empress Dowager Cui was secretly frightened, Zhao Yao was accusing her in a roundabout way?
He is young and has a lot of scheming, and it seems that he will have to pay attention to some words and deeds in the future.
"I'm talking stupid again, my son is the most noble person in Da Zhou." Empress Dowager Cui said with a dry smile.
Over the years, she has not paid less attention to Zhao Tong, so relatively speaking, she has spent less attention to the children. Actually, it's not less, it's just that psychologically I always feel that they were born by themselves, and everything they do is for their good, so they don't have a soft heart when they are punished, anyway, they are their own children. But she didn't expect that Zhao Tong would calculate her again before he died, telling Zhao Yao that she had poisoned him and poisoned him.
She has explained to Zhao Yao many times, at first, Zhao Yao would be upset for her, and then no matter what she said, he would echo it, but he slowly became estranged from her.
"I am your mother, everything I do is for your good, don't listen to those messy words that divide our mother and son!"
Zhao Yao also looked serious, "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son remembers it." ”
When Zhao Yao left, Queen Cui said to herself: "I'm only afraid of Yao'er's knot, I'm afraid that I won't be able to untie it for a while." ”
But Zhao Yao is her son after all, so let's take our time in this matter.
What she is worried about is that the third master of the Cui family has always been selfish and mean, and will tilt the resources of the Cui family to other places, but now she is beyond her reach, there is no way at all, the only thing that can alleviate this matter is to give her third brother more benefits.
Fortunately, although she and Zhao Yao have a knot, they still come over every day to say goodbye.
Empress Dowager Cui thought about it for a few days, and then said to Zhao Yao: "Duchess Chengen has entered the palace and brought some refreshments made by the Cui family, is it delicious for the emperor to repay?" ”
Zhao Yao smiled and took a piece and made a gesture of eating, but in fact it was received in his sleeve.
There is no way, Zhao Tong's tragic situation before his death reappears in front of his eyes from time to time, he says it doesn't matter, but what he thinks in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.
Empress Dowager Cui had such an eyesight that she discovered her son's abnormality at once, but in front of him, she could only pass it as if nothing happened.
But with such a delay, it will be difficult for her plan to come true.
I didn't expect Zhao Yao to guard against her to such an extent.
She is the queen, the queen mother, and her own son is the emperor, but in these dog days, her heart feels cold!
She was born in a famous family and was the Empress Dowager Cui, who was known for her virtue in the eyes of everyone, but she, her life was ruined by Wang Linzhi.
If it weren't for Wang Linzhi, she wouldn't have thought of using poison on Zhao Tong at all, and Zhao Tong would naturally not have a chance to take advantage of it, if Zhao Tong died a few years later, she would definitely continue to suppress Gu Yue, Zhao Yao could grow up slowly and take over slowly, where would Gu Yue have anything?
But now, no matter how much you regret it, where is the regret medicine?
She was originally an arrogant person, but now, she was really turned into a sheep without any power to fight back by Zhao Tong!
This made her die blindly!
On July 15 of this year, Empress Dowager Cui did something that everyone never expected.
She's self-defeating!
It is said that he was discovered by the person who was waiting for him and was saved.
Zhao Yao stood next to him and cried so much that he almost fainted.
"Queen Mother, did your son do something wrong?"
"It's none of your business, the queen mother just misses your father too much."
"Then you are willing to give up your sons?" Zhao Yao grabbed Empress Dowager Cui's hand tightly.
Even if he becomes the emperor, he still needs his father.
"Erchen used to think that his father was very beautiful, and he always dreamed of being able to sit in this position, but after the mother, Erchen is so tired now! My father left me like that, and you can't be like him again. ”
Zhao Yao cried earth-shatteringly, until the end, she was tired of crying, and after Empress Dowager Cui repeatedly assured that she would not leave him, she grabbed her hand and fell asleep.
Since then, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has eased a lot, and there is a trend of getting better and better.
Empress Dowager Cui started to be smart not to ask about political affairs this time, but she took a girl from the Cui family to her Shou'an Palace.
The Cui family's girl's name is Cui Zhen, and she is the concubine of Cheng'en Gong.
Cui Zhen has always had a good relationship with Zhao Yao, and she is also deeply liked by the Empress Dowager Cui, but now when the Empress Dowager Cui is emotionally unstable, Zhao Yao took the initiative to ask to keep Cui Zhen to live in Shou'an Palace.
Cui Zhen has a lively and cheerful temperament, and soon the relationship between Zhao Yao and Empress Dowager Cui eased, and Zhao Yao went to Shou'an Palace more and more.
