Chapter 107 The Queen Mother's Horror (I)
Queen Mother Liang smiled head-on, "It's hot at the right time, it's boring, and I haven't slept peacefully." I heard that the emperor saw General Li who returned to the dynasty victoriously after the thief was defeated by the thief in the starry night, and the queen mother was afraid that the emperor would be cowardly and neglected General Li, so she took the palace lady embroidered the girl to accompany the queen mother through the 'Qingxin Palace', hoping that the declining family did not disturb the emperor. ”
Li Tianzhao was so anxious that he said in a panic, "The child is not talented, and the queen mother is disturbed by the starry night, which is really terrifying." On the occasion that General Li was here, the queen mother had no decree to explain, and asked the queen mother to give instructions in person, and the child should follow the teachings. ”
At this time, Li Liangguang, who was kneeling on the side, hurriedly clasped his fists to greet him. "I don't know that the queen is coming, the minister is late, and I hope that the queen is magnanimous, and the minister is grateful." After that, he bowed again.
"I can't do it, I can't help it, general, please get up quickly! The declining family has not participated in government politics for many years, so you don't have to make a fuss. The declining family just heard that the general was victorious and returned to the dynasty after the thief, and the emperor saw it in the starry night, afraid that there was something urgent to disturb the emperor and the general, plus the weather was hot and sleepless, so the declining family came to take a walk, breathing, hoping that the declining family would not disturb the conversation between the emperor and the general. ”
The Empress Dowager Liang said that she had sat on the master's chair in the middle under the support of the lord Li Tianzhao.
"There is the concern of the Empress Dowager Lao, but it is not the courtiers. I hope that the queen will forgive me a lot, and Li is here to ask the queen for his guilt. After listening to the cause and effect of what the Empress Dowager said, Li Liangguang hurriedly asked the Empress Dowager Liang to plead guilty.
"Hey, the general's expedition and close attack, in order to protect the royal family is really hard work, there is no need to say much here. The declining family just wanted to know what urgency the emperor had summoned General Li on the starry night, so that he could share his worries and solve problems for the emperor. Don't make the general tired and busy. The Empress Dowager Liang spoke again, choking the lord Li Tianzhao, who had been listening with his head down in front of her, at this time, his face was red and he was frightened and depressed.
"Queen Mother, although the emperor is stupid, he doesn't dare to disturb Queen Mother Jin'an. However, today's events are not only here, but also closely related to the queen mother, and the sons dare not stop it. Besides, his mother will want to know about it one day, and it is better to let his mother know it now. The lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, could not avoid the Empress Dowager Liang's questioning and replied, at this moment in his heart, he had deliberately wanted to tell the matter about Li Qiusheng.
This kind of situation came suddenly, and it was so urgent that Li Liangguang rushed forward and said loudly. "The queen, the ministers are deeply favored by the emperor, and the court will not abandon them, how can they have two ambitions and not be loyal to the king. It's just that it is the sin of the courtiers to let the queen stay like this for a long time. The minister implored the queen to punish the minister in order to repay the grace of heaven. ”
"Hey, General Li, the declining family just said that you are a loyal and patriotic person, and you are dedicated to assisting the royal family and protecting the imperial court, what a crime. The declining family just doesn't want you to work so hard, there is nothing else, and the general doesn't have to worry about it. The Empress Dowager Liang said, trying her best to avoid the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers. But it backfired, and this time it seemed that the Empress Dowager Liang was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, the lord of the country, Li Tianzhao, interjected and said bluntly. "The queen mother, the sons have one thing to do, I hope the queen mother can withstand these small storms. Help the sons and daughters find the orphans of the royal brother, comfort the royal brother's soul in the sky, and comfort the heart of the mother and the son. After that, he knelt down in front of the queen with his hand and bowed, posing with a look of sincere fear.
Ahh Immediately stared in vain and said in fear, "Emperor, what did you say?" Let's be clear. What helped the sons and daughters to find the orphans of the royal brother and comfort the royal brother's spirit in the sky? To comfort the heart of the mother and the child. Suddenly, he nervously asked, "You, you, you should quickly explain what is going on." Now, the queen mother's heart has been swept away by you. ”
Although the violent reaction of the Empress Dowager Liang did not escape the panic in the hearts of Li Tianzhao and Li Benguang, the two of them still looked at the eldest queen in horror, for fear that there would be any worse changes in the Empress Dowager Liang in front of them, which would catch the second pawn off guard. Bi Jing, "King of Heyang"" has always been the heart disease that the Queen Mother has accumulated more than ten years ago. But all the officials and palace maids have never dared to mention this period of the past that has been submerged by the years in front of her, for fear of stimulating the tense tendon of the Liang family and causing death.
But it was too late, and I saw that the body of the Queen Mother Liang sitting on the seat suddenly shook again, and then she was about to fall down like a landslide. As if he had touched the thunder and lightning in the waterfall wind and rain in an instant, he was stunned and confused.
She stared blankly at Li Tianzhao, who was speaking a little abruptly in front of her, and muttered to herself after a while. "Emperor, what are you going to say? The declining family is in a hurry. Have you found your brother's orphan? Isn't it? Tell the declining family, the declining family really wants to know. ”
Li Tianzhao looked at the Empress Dowager Liang who had become haggard and aggrieved at this time, and hurriedly glanced at Li Liangguang next to him, as if signaling him to do something, in case the Empress Dowager had any accidents.
Li Liangguang understood, and immediately persuaded forward. "Queen Mother, this matter was all obtained by Weichen by chance, but now I am not sure that 'Li Qiusheng' is the orphan of the 'King of Heyang'. But he has something on him, and he needs your help to check it. ”
"What kind of object? Is it something I've seen? The Empress Dowager Liang retorted, and there was a lot of doubt in her heart at the moment.
"Yes, the Empress has not only seen that thing, but it is also a gift from the Queen Mother and the first emperor to the 'King of Heyang'. It is indeed exactly the same as the jade match that was handed over to Weichen to escort his young son from the predicament when the 'King of Heyang' was suffering more than ten years ago. Li Liangguang said again pertinently, it seems that this matter is a sure thing, and it is no longer possible to find the confusion of half of the doubts.
"Oh, what about the object and the 'Li Qiusheng' person? Where are you now? I want to see him. After listening to Li Liangguang's affirmative answer, the Queen Mother Liang immediately rushed out of her mouth without worrying about the royal face.
"This, this..." Li Liangguang said with some hesitation, and he glanced at Li Tianzhao with concern, as if waiting for some hint.
The Queen Mother's unconventional behavior made Li Tianzhao a little annoyed. He thought that he really shouldn't have told the queen mother about these uncertain things first, which led to this extreme change in the queen mother.
He hurriedly stopped him and stopped, "Queen Mother, it's late at night now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to summon Li Qiusheng alone." Besides, the law of the palace is safe, and the trick can't be carried by one person? Please also ask the queen mother to think twice. ”
Li Tianzhao opened his mouth, and Li Liangguang also followed the topic and persuaded behind. "Yes, the queen, the law of the palace must not be carried by one person. Besides, Li Qiusheng is under the courtier's house, can't you get it in the Ming Dynasty? There's no hurry. ”
"Mother, you can take it easy, don't be in a hurry. Since God has let the orphans of our imperial brother meet us again, it will definitely let us see each other again. Li Tianzhao was still actively persuading on the side, as if he really didn't want his mother to make any mistakes.
The Empress Dowager Liang suddenly tried her best to open her eyes and glance at the two of them, and finally let out a dull sigh and sighed. "Well, let's wait for tomorrow. In this way, the declining family is also tired, so go back to the palace to rest first. ”
"You monarchs and ministers talk again, and the declining family will not disturb each other." With that, the Queen Mother Liang got up and left her seat. Under the guidance of the palace maids on the left and right, he slowly left.
The two were speechless for a while, so they had to get up and send the queen back to the palace, and this starry night conversation was over.
As soon as Liang left, Li Tianzhao turned around and said to Li Liangguang. "General, since this matter has been broken, we have to find a way to round the scene for the Queen Mother. Don't let the Queen Mother worry about it, and she has been worried for so many years. Otherwise, it will cause right and wrong and endanger the body of the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be mine? ”
"Rest assured, my lord. This matter was caused by the minister, and the minister dared to guarantee that it would not cause trouble to the queen mother. Li Liangguang immediately knelt down and said.
"Well, it would be nice if that were the case. I, don't worry, just wait for tomorrow morning after the court, and then meet 'Li Qiusheng' together." ”
"Minister, obey the order." After saying this, Li got up and stepped aside, waiting for the lord of the kingdom to give him another instruction.
At this time, Li Tianzhao seemed to have put down a stone hanging in his heart, and naturally sat back in his original seat. waved his hand and snorted lightly: "General, it's hard work." Stand down, and we'll see you in the Ming Dynasty. ”
Even if Li Liangguang had something to say, he had to give up at this time, and hurriedly bowed his hands and walked out of the 'Qingxin Palace' under the guidance of the eunuch of the inner palace.
Back at the General's Mansion, someone had already reported to the door.
Captain Qin, Jin Daoke, Old Man Dong and others hurriedly greeted them, shushh Everyone saw that Li Liangguang was no different at this moment, and their hanging hearts finally let go.
The Golden Daoist was so anxious that he stood up first and said, "We are wild people, and we should not have visited the general and the state affairs of the imperial court. But it's about the general situation, I don't know what the lord of the country has to say when he summons the general late at night? Do we have a secret thing to protect orphans? ”
Without waiting for Li Liangguang to answer the question of the golden swordman, everyone present casually agreed. "Yes, General. We shouldn't have done this, but we may have wiped out the orphans of the 'King of Heyang'." ”
"Well, don't worry, listen to me. I have already mentioned this matter to the lord of the country, and it happened that the queen mother also knew about it, and she was muttering about meeting this kid. If it weren't for the comfort of the lord of the country, I would have come to the queen mother to settle this matter, and I wouldn't be able to wait for tomorrow morning. Don't be in a hurry, be patient and wait. Li Liangguang took a sip of tea and said slowly, adding a sentence at the end. Well, but I still advise you that it is best not to tell Li Qiusheng about that kid until the matter is clarified, lest you become a victim of right and wrong. ”
After everyone listened, they were overjoyed. Old Man Dong was even more anxious and said with a crushed eyebrow. "Thanks to the general's hard work, the old man is here first to thank you on behalf of Li Qiusheng's kid. If the identity of this kid is confirmed, the rest of the matter will be much easier. ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, if we can do this, we will also be considered a great achievement." ”
