Influenced by the new era, I know very well that in order for a country to be peaceful and peaceful, it must first have a strong military force, followed by an economy. Even if Concubine Lu monopolized the government, as long as the talisman was still in Ah Ping's hands, she could not drive the Imperial Forest Army. And she shouldn't dare to blatantly seize power now, she must first fake the holy decree to support the Lu family's forces and control the government.

I remember that there was a general who went out with us before was Ah Ping's henchman, named Li Jinglong, although I couldn't get the tiger talisman, but maybe I could try this general. After hearing what I said, Zhu Gaoxu did not agree, saying that there is no movement in the palace at present, and I have no tiger talisman, no matter which general dares to send troops at this time.

He said that these soldiers, even if it is the emperor's order, must see the tiger talisman, otherwise they will not obey it.

I am afraid that this is what is often said in ancient books, and generals are not subject to military orders. That is to say, this road will not work, so what else can I think of to save Ah Ping? I hid like a trapped beast in this corner of the farmer's house, racking my brains and thinking about nothing.

On this day, Zhu Gaoxu brought back a person, and I asked him to find it.

Taifu Fang Xiaoru.

It was obvious that Fang Xiaoru was forcibly kidnapped by Zhu Gaoxu, not to mention the indignation on his face, his eyes were about to burst into flames. But when he saw me, he suddenly looked frightened and glared at me in disbelief: "Why is the queen mother outside the palace?" ”

I said expressionlessly: "There is an important matter for this palace to leave the palace, and there is an edict from the emperor here." As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve and shook it away lightly so that he could read the words on it.

"I ordered the queen to leave the palace to do things for me, this matter is confidential and cannot be treated with anyone."

Fang Xiaoru looked at the back, and his color eased slightly, and he recognized that it was Ah Ping's handwriting, but he didn't know that I copied it. He has always disliked me, and he is afraid that he has always believed that I have monopolized the harem and refused to accept concubines for the emperor, so he still asked unhappily at this time: "What is the matter with the queen looking for the old minister?" If you need the minister's office, but you can say it well, why use this way to let the minister come? ”

Without hesitation, I bent down towards the old lady Fu Fu, raised my head and said, "It's the fault of this palace, and I ask Lord Taifu to bear with me." Fang Xiaoru didn't expect me to make such a big gift to him, he was a little stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he asked awkwardly: "Say it quickly, what's the matter with finding the old minister?" ”

"Master Taifu, this palace is looking for you to ask you about something, what is there any special thing in the court in the past two days?"

"Hmph, you don't know that the emperor is seriously ill, the emperor hasn't been to the court for many days." For him, this is the most special thing in the court. But what I want to know is not this, but: "Then will the emperor have another review in the next few days?" ”

Asked about this, Fang Xiaoru immediately showed anger and dissatisfaction: "The old minister is indignant about this, two days ago, the emperor at least knew that he was sick and took care of the government, and he submitted it for instructions." Now he didn't even pay attention to it, and I waited for the old minister to ask to see the queen mother and refused again, and ......" He was talking endlessly, and suddenly thought of something with a vigilant face: "I don't know what the queen mother means by asking this?" ”

I groaned, knowing that his concept was old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and he was still afraid of me because he was not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. It was also expected by me, since I came to him, I had my own countermeasures: "The queen mother came to the emperor's bedroom in person that day, pointing out that the palace should be punished for concealing the emperor's illness, but it was actually a play for you to see, the truth is that the emperor has a secret matter and sent the palace out of the palace to do it, and all actions must be kept secret, so there is a situation that day." The reason why this palace is looking for the Taifu to come is because the palace is very worried about the emperor, and since the palace has been out of the palace to do business, it has not received the emperor's edict, and the palace cannot return to the palace without the holy decree, this is the agreement between the palace and the emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoru was extremely suspicious on his face, "The emperor really hasn't had any contact with Niangniang?" ”

I nodded worriedly: "If it weren't for that, this palace wouldn't have used such extreme measures to invite Master Taifu to come." The emperor has made an agreement with the palace that he must act according to the emperor's decree when he comes out, and he must have the emperor's decree when he returns to the palace, but the palace can't wait for a long time, and he is really worried about the emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoru couldn't calm down anymore, and blurted out: "Then the emperor won't have an accident, right?" Because all the words that have come out of the mouth of the Queen Mother in the past few days have been oratory, and the officials in the court have changed greatly, which has made the courtiers panic and extremely uneasy. ”

Concubine Lu really acted, even if Ah Ping didn't wake up to gain the trust of the courtiers for her, but she still used fake rumors to encroach on the power of the court. There are two reasons why she is so urgent: one is that Ah Ping did not wake up as she thought, which made her original plan slow and unable to move forward; The second is my "death", she was going to threaten Ah Ping with me, but now whether I "die" or escape, she has lost this bargaining chip, but if Ah Ping wakes up, she will definitely not be controlled by her.

Therefore, she must control the situation in the shortest possible time, and she still does not dare to attack Ah Ping until she has all the political situation in control, and she will only really act when the situation is already in her hands. And this action is to support the prince!

I suddenly knelt down towards Fang Xiaoru, making him hesitate to come to help, but I didn't want to get up and said with a sonorous and earnest attitude: "Lord Taifu, there is no way in this palace, the emperor must have had an accident." When the Japanese palace leaves, the emperor can still get up and give instructions, it must be because someone murdered the emperor after the palace left, and wanted to control and manipulate the government, so there will be so many changes. You are the first emperor's personal concubine, and you are the most respected above the government and the opposition, and only if you order the ministers to rescue the emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoru was terrified: "Niangniang's words are serious, and the old minister doesn't dare to be it." Niangniang is such a big gift, the old minister really can't stand it. As he spoke, he also knelt down, and he attached great importance to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

Seeing that the effect had been made, I didn't insist on kneeling, and quickly got up to stop him.

Waiting for the mood to calm down a little, Fang Xiaoru asked: "Niang Niang means ......" He hesitated slightly, and some didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, but when he saw that my face was dazed and helpless, he still gritted his teeth and said: "If the Empress Dowager Lu wants to hold the emperor hostage to control the government and mess with my Ming dynasty, the old minister will be obligated to take this responsibility and will fight with the Lu family to the end." ”

He is one of the several old ministers personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang to support Ah Ping as the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion is that it is impossible to find the power of foreign relatives as the core force of the government. Therefore, I made a decision to find Xiaoru from above, only with his prestige can it be possible to order the courtiers to compete with the Lu family, and only by forming a state of equal strength can Concubine Lu not dare to act rashly.

This is the only way I can think of to save Ah Ping, only by letting the court form its own force to contend with her, can I prevent her from slowing down her rush to participate in politics, in order to seek a later move.

The days of waiting for news made me anxious, Zhu Gaoxu went out to listen to the news every day, and I wanted to follow up the city secretly several times but I didn't think about it. Any wrong step in such a situation could lead to a deterioration in the situation.

The biggest worry is that once I am found out by Concubine Lu to escape, it will inevitably attract a large-scale hunt. That way, regardless of whether all my speculations are true or false, it turns the situation into the most passive.

When Zhu Gaoxu came back that day, his face was very bad, which made my heart sink and I hurriedly asked about the situation. But when I saw that he wanted to speak several times and stopped, I became even more anxious, "You mean, what happened?" ”

His dark eyes sank, and he gritted his teeth and replied to me: "Today I learned from the old man that the imperial court is going to withdraw from the kings, including me, the king of Beiping Yan. I was a little incredulous: "How can you talk about withdrawing the feudal domain again?" He was slightly stunned, "Mention it again?" ”

Just now, he was in a hurry, Ah Ping was only ready to make this edict after ascending the throne, but it had not been officially issued, and he first summoned Zhu Di and his son into Beijing before withdrawing the domain. Therefore, this order to withdraw the feudal domain was only known to me or Fang Xiaoru's old ministers, and it was not spread, and then he put it down because I persuaded him. Who knew that after some changes, even Concubine Lu raised this proposal again, was she afraid of the power of the vassal kings on the periphery?

I said, "No, how did Mrs. Fang tell you?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu replied without doubt: "That is to say, the Queen Mother once again passed on the emperor's edict to issue an order to withdraw the feudal domain, headed by King Zhou, but those who did not comply were punished for treason." ”

Rebellion! This is an extremely serious crime, and the crime can affect the nine clans.

Obviously, the wheel of history that has been pressed down by me is turning like a ghost, and I don't want to believe it, but Zhu Gaoxu can't lie to me at this time, and he won't lie to me with this matter. At present, he is facing the situation that Beiping is about to be withdrawn, and he can't be more relaxed, and his eyebrows are tightly locked.

"If you are worried, it is better to ......" Before I could finish my words, he cut it off: "You don't need to say it, I won't leave at this time." I will never leave the capital until I see you safe. ”

He has been friends with me for a long time, and he already knows what my unspoken words are, and I really think he might as well go back to Beiping. If the order to withdraw the feudal domain is issued, his identity will become embarrassing, and ...... I suddenly thought of the reason why Concubine Lu decided so much, because she had already noticed that Zhu Gaoxu was gone, she knew that we had fought together on the battlefield before, and she was afraid that his disappearance would become an unstable factor, so she fled back to Beiping to let Zhu Di save the emperor.

Therefore, she must put an end to this before it may happen, but if Zhu Di refuses to withdraw the domain, she can be punished for rebellion.

Thinking of this, my heart hurts, and I go around in a big circle and back to the same place, and the root of it is me again!

If it weren't for saving me, Zhu Gaoxu would not have left the palace and made Concubine Lu jealous of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, so she proposed to withdraw the domain. Whether it is cause or effect, I have no intention of pushing, but I feel that the wheel of fate has never let me go.

Maybe fate was arranged like this, I was not a person from this era, and I disappeared from this era in that way three years later, but why is Ah Ping innocent? Yuan'er is innocent? What about these people who are so close to me?
