This winter, as Mr. Meng said, the snow kept falling, and many places became snow disasters. As a result, many of the vassal kings who entered Beijing had to be stranded on the road, and Yuwenfeng, the king of Zhongshan, who everyone was looking forward to, could not enter Beijing because of the snow disaster and accidentally fell when he went out to explore the defense, so he could only send his own son Yuwenhao to enter Beijing for him.

When the news reached the palace, the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood immediately, and she angrily threw the song into the brazier, Aunt Mu let out a low cry and quickly stepped forward to grab the song fold, but the tongue of fire had already burned a corner of the song.

"Niangniang......" Aunt Mu worriedly smoothed out and smoothed out, and the Queen Mother was getting more and more irritable. Even if he knew that the King of Zhongshan refused to enter Beijing, he must have been on guard and secretly antipathy, so he couldn't lose his temper like this. It's meant to trick people here, and it wouldn't be good if he knew that there was already a guard here.

The Empress Dowager turned her face away and took a deep breath into the corner.

"Why don't you invite Xiangye to discuss with you?" Aunt Mu carefully gave her a proposal.

"Please." The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before making a decision, after all, if the King of Zhongshan really succeeded, everyone would have to die.

Fu Cong hadn't been summoned to Changxin Palace alone for a long time, and even if he actually knew what was going on, he didn't dare to show that he knew, but redoubled his respect and obedience, and gave the Empress Dowager a big gift when he entered the door.

Yu Wenfu raised his head from behind the desk to peek at him, and when he saw him looking over, he quickly lowered his head.

Fu Cong smiled gently at Yuwen and silently saluted him again.

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Fu'er, you show this to your uncle and grandfather." ”

Yuwen got up, took the fold, bowed, and handed it to Fu Cong with both hands, performing a family ceremony, very respectful.

Fu Cong didn't dare to treat him with family courtesy, so he respectfully bent down to take the fold and said, "Your Highness Lao." ”

Yu Wenfu's face turned pale, and he looked at the Empress Dowager for help. Fu Xiang's refusal to treat him with family courtesy, does it mean that Fu Xiang only regards him as a competitor of the Sixth Emperor Uncle, and he will never be soft when he should be killed?

The Empress Dowager waved her hand towards Yuwen: "You retreat." ”

Yu Wenfu retreated silently, Fu Cong squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Wenfu's back, deeply feeling that the spirit of this child was raised by the Queen Mother. He remembered that when this child first arrived at Changxin Palace, he was far more intelligent and cautious than this, but now he has become much more wooden. But who knows? Maybe this wooden one was deliberately pretended, but it may not be.

The Empress Dowager caught his eyes and said lightly: "What does the second brother think of this child?" ”

"King Sienjun is a good boy." Fu Cong replied painlessly.

"Why don't you treat each other with family courtesy? Do you think it's wrong for him to call you Uncle and Grandpa? The Empress Dowager was aggressive: "I still don't want to recognize him as a nephew." ”

Fu Cong was silent for a moment and said: "We have already said what should be said, the Queen Mother refuses to believe the minister's words, but she can't convince the minister." I have come today for the sake of government affairs, not for this matter. Please ask the Empress Dowager to give her orders. ”

The Empress Dowager was furious, stared at Fu Cong for a long time, and said tiredly: "You know, Yu Wenfeng refused to enter Beijing under the pretext of falling and injured, what should I do?" ”

Fu Cong said: "Kill!" ”

The Empress Dowager Huo Ran got up: "How to kill?" Did you kill his son? Hitting the grass and startling the snake is not beautiful. ”

In the matter of sniping the father and son of the King of Zhongshan, their interests are the same, whether it is Yuwen Chu or Yuwen Fu, they must get rid of King Zhongshan first.

Fu Cong said softly: "The first step is to detain the prince of Zhongshan, induce him to make a mistake, and arrest him and put him in prison; The second step is to send people thousands of miles to kill the king of Zhongshan, but if the killing fails, he will be forced to rebel. ”

The Empress Dowager resolutely objected: "Forcing him to rebel? What are we going to fight him with? ”

Fu Cong said disappointedly: "Could it be that the deception can lure him into Beijing?" Since it can't be lured into Beijing, of course, there is only one way to fight. ”

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, once the war starts, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be able to stand aside, and they have to beg the young and middle-aged to take command and go on the expedition." Only Yuwen Chu is worthy of this position, and then all the soldiers and horses in the world are under his control. ”

The so-called disagreement with political views means that he doesn't agree no matter what he says, Fu Cong simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly stiffened.

"Since I have to die, then I want the prince of Zhongshan to die outside the capital, so that his sons will have internal friction, and other than that, there is no negotiation." The Empress Dowager was full of grievances, but she couldn't say it, and Fu Cong was also aggrieved, and she couldn't say it. If it weren't for the family relationship, if it weren't for the need for each other, I'm afraid that the two of them would have been in trouble long ago.

When Aunt Mu saw this scene, she was so frightened that she pinched a cold sweat, and regardless of whether the news was appropriate or not, she hurriedly went to the empress dowager and said, "Niangniang, the epidemic has spread to the palace. ”

That's amazing! The Empress Dowager and Fu Cong were taken aback, in the past, there were times when the epidemic came into the palace, and a few people would always die each time, either palace people, concubines, or princes and princesses. Now the situation in the palace is complicated, if you are not careful, more people will die, and the most important thing is that the vassal king is about to enter Beijing, if you don't come under the excuse that there is an epidemic in Beijing, then what should you do?

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Didn't the Tai Hospital say earlier that it was just an ordinary disease? How can it get worse and worse? And how can it not be reported until now? These words were shouted at Fu Cong, as if things had developed to this point, and it was all caused by Fu Cong's deliberate concealment and failure to do his best to manage it.

Fu Cong was also very puzzled, he was definitely not a person who could ignore the world for his own selfish interests, and he also paid attention to the epidemic, but it was just an ordinary minor illness, not serious, and it did not reach the point where the government needed to come forward. However, out of caution, he still did not directly answer the words of the Empress Dowager.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Empress Dowager said angrily: "Second brother has the world in mind, please pay attention to this matter, hurry up and go out of the palace to arrange." ”

She herself hurriedly arranged for Aunt Mu: "Hurry up and notify the palaces, but anyone who enters and leaves the palace must keep a file for isolation, and let the people from the Tai Hospital hurry over to diagnose the pulse of the palace lords and princesses." But if anyone is sick, they will be isolated first, especially here in Fu'er, you must be cautious, and you must not let people take the opportunity to harm him! ”

Aunt Mu responded and hurriedly arranged it.

Fu Zifei walked over with a bowl of ginseng soup made by himself, and said gently: "Grandmother, it's been a busy day, can you take a break and eat a bowl of ginseng soup?" ”
