426 Roots
Not long after Feng Liangzhu returned to Beijing, the Xifan people began to disturb the border again, this time they directly attacked the border city, burned and looted a lot of places, and the local assassin Shi also died in battle while defending the city.
At this time, it happened to be almost the New Year, and this matter was tantamount to a slap in the face to Zhao Yao and the cabinet who had just commended him. As for Gu Yue, he happened to be sick at home during this time, from the emperor to the cabinet, I just hope that he won't see the report so soon.
Gu Yue knew that Zhao Yao had grown up, and he had completed Zhao Tong's support, but at this moment it was time to withdraw as soon as possible, not only did he deliberately pretend not to know, but also let Liu Zhangyuan release the news that he was seriously ill.
Zhao Yao announced the imperial doctor and asked him to give Gu Yue a good look, but he happily poured himself a drink and got drunk several times.
Gu Ming couldn't help but clench her fingers when she saw Zhao Yao singing and laughing there.
Military merit is not exchanged for life? If it weren't for her father's incessant campaigns over the years, would he Zhao Yao be in the mood to drink here?
But as soon as she thought that he was the only one in his harem, she gritted her teeth and ordered someone to help Zhao Yao to the dormitory.
It wasn't until now that she understood why her parents were so opposed to her entering the palace in the first place.
It's easy to get in, but you can only stay in this world forever.
Now I have my husband on one side and my parents on the other.
Over the years, Zhao Yao has almost responded to her needs, and has always praised her parents, she almost thought that he would respect them as much as herself, but she didn't expect that these were all appearances.
If one day, my father is old and has no power in his hands, then it is time to "fly all the birds and hide the good bow".
Gu Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
The mother who followed said softly: "Niangniang is going to see the Queen Mother today?" ”
Gu Ming hurriedly responded.
Although she is not ashamed of everything that the Empress Dowager Cui has done, on the table, at least she must make a filial appearance, just because she is the queen, she wants to set an example for the people of the whole Dazhou.
Walking out, as soon as the wind blew, Gu Ming couldn't help but think of the fact that Empress Dowager Cui had poisoned and assassinated Zhao Tong, and was calculated by Zhao Tong, and couldn't help but shiver excitedly.
"You will be the queen of my Great Zhou from now on, A-Niang only hopes that after you enter the palace, you will use less tricks and means, and everything you want will be obtained openly!"
This is what Gu Ming told her when she entered the palace.
Gu Ming's hand slowly let go, and her steps became brisk.
But when she saw the Empress Dowager Cui, she was still taken aback, Mrs. Cui's face was dry, her eyes were blank, and she looked lifeless, and when she saw Wang Linzhi, she suddenly laughed, "I haven't seen your aunt for a long time, why don't you invite her to come, let's play the leaf card." ”
Gu Ming seemed to hesitate, but still responded.
Empress Dowager Cui became more and more happy in her heart, "The mourning family will send someone to pick it up now." ”
Gu Ming poured her a cup of tea, and then said, "The minister will deal with other things first, and when A-Niang comes, I will come over to accompany your old man." ”
Empress Dowager Cui waved her hand to let her go, and then asked the person in front of her slowly, "In your opinion, is it really sick or fake?" ”
The grandmother looked at Empress Dowager Cui's face and said with a smile: "I guess I'm really sick, so I have to hide it even more!" ”
Empress Dowager Cui suddenly laughed, "The mourning family and her are obviously the same year, but look at her, and then look at the face of the mourning family, it seems that there is a whole round of difference." ”
The grandmother's waist was hooked more ruthlessly, and her expression was more careful, "This person, when he reaches a certain status, his appearance has become a dispensable thing!" ”
Empress Dowager Cui swept everything on the low table in front of her to the ground at once, "The mourning family can't wait to stab her face twice!" ”
The grandmother's face turned white with fright, "Niangniang, we can't be impulsive!" ”
Empress Dowager Cui laughed, "Are you reminding the mourning family not to be self-conscious?" The mourning family was born in a famous family, and he was taught etiquette by the Fang family by reading poetry and books since he was a child......"
Then, she became the queen again, the queen mother, she should have been a beautiful woman, but now those vicious thoughts in her heart are ridiculous and sad!
She could only think about it, but she didn't dare to really do anything to Wang Linzhi.
Wang Linzhi soon came to the palace, and when she played cards, she seemed to be absent-minded, always losing more and winning less, and it didn't take long for her to say goodbye.
As soon as Wang Linzhi's mother and daughter left, Empress Dowager Cui immediately became happy, "She Wang Linzhi also has today!" ”
I've wanted to see her unlucky, it's been a long time!
Not long after thinking about it, another palace person came in, "Niangniang, the big thing is not good, I heard that General Feng was defeated, and no one is missing, the emperor asked who could lead the troops, and the cabinet elected Gu Jiaerlang." ”
Gu Jiaerlang is the second of the quadruplets.
Empress Dowager Cui suddenly laughed again, "It's best to have no return!" ”
The palace maid lowered her head and shrank back, for fear that she would be used as a punching bucket by the Empress Dowager Cui if she was not careful.
Erlang's expedition lasted for half a year, with defeats and victories, but he finally didn't lose the city again.
"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, go and urge the emperor and let him quickly recruit new people!"
Zhao Yao and Gu Ming have been married for nearly seven or eight years, but nothing has come out, and Empress Dowager Cui urges them as if it were commonplace.
But she didn't have anyone available, so Zhao Yao and Gu Ming didn't take it seriously at all.
However, when the palace maid came back, her face was full of joy, and she quietly said to the Empress Dowager Cui: "The emperor is drunk and has a palace maid." ”
"Really?" Empress Dowager Cui was so excited that her hands trembled slightly, as long as she could make the Gu family's mother and daughter unhappy, she felt very excited. "That's not enough, we have to create more opportunities for him."
Zhao Yao can't accept people, but he can't stop his mother from choosing the person to call, right?
Therefore, the most important thing in the palace now is the palace maids who are good-looking and scheming.
Empress Dowager Cui thought for a while, "Take out the soothing incense that the mourning family handed over to you last time and give it to the emperor, this is his favorite taste since he was a child!" ”
On the surface, she is holding an ordinary soothing incense, but in fact, there are things to help in it, and the harem generally strictly prohibits such things, but now Gu Ming is afraid that she has no heart to do this, this is her opportunity.
"Then transfer the palace maid to the side of the mourning family."
This is to prevent Gu Ming from not being able to give birth, and then not let other people live!
The henchman and the mother should go.
After that, Zhao Yao really pampered a few palace maids, but their stomachs didn't move at all!
Empress Dowager Cui became more and more happy in her heart.
Zhao Yao can't give birth to a child, so her other son Zhao Ming has a chance!
But what she didn't expect was that after the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Zhao Ming had already bled to death on the carriage before he returned to the mansion.
Empress Dowager Cui couldn't help but curse loudly, "Zhao Yao, you ruthless livestock, you actually attacked your own brother!" ”
"If I don't do anything to him, the queen mother will do something to me!" Zhao Yao said coldly, "I just don't want to be unjustly killed!" ”
"You! Did you drug yourself? Empress Dowager Cui couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Yao nodded coldly, "If it weren't for this, would Zhao Ming be able to live to this day?" Can the queen mother question me like this? ”
Empress Dowager Cui couldn't help crying bitterly.
It turned out that he was not the only one he wanted to guard against, but this time, he was afraid that there would be no more mother-son relationship between them.
