Before the emperor could say anything, the Queen Mother continued: "It doesn't matter if your father is eccentric, and it doesn't matter if he gives all his favor to the mother and son, but before he died, he actually gave the dragon pattern pardon to the child, and the dragon pattern pardon has been in the heart of the mourning family for many years like a tumor, Huang'er, do you understand, the mourning family has been worried all the time for so many years, worried about you, what if the West Palace Jue uses the dragon pattern pardon one day, it is not a pity for the mourning family to die with an old bone, but the emperor is still young, what should you do?" After that, the queen mother was in tears, and the emperor was very worried.

He always thought that his mother was an iron-fisted queen mother, and she would not have such a weak side, but he didn't expect to see today's scene.

"Queen Mother, don't be sad, it's the son-in-law who is not good, the son-in-law must listen to you, find out the dragon pattern pardon decree, and don't let the Xigong Jue usurp the throne, okay? I just ask the queen mother not to be sad. "In fact, it is not easy for every mother, they are silently paying for their children, and Queen Mother He is even more so, she has to be strong for a lifetime.

Everyone said that it was not easy for Empress Dowager He to be orphaned and widowed, and she was able to forcibly put her son on the throne of the emperor under such a disadvantage, this woman is really amazing.

Although no one knows what happened back then, so that the Xi nobles disappeared and the first emperor was seriously ill, but Empress Dowager He was able to stand on the political stage as a strong person, and this alone is worthy of respect, especially her son.

"The queen mother is not sad, but she is worried about your safety, the Lord of the West Palace is not a mediocre person, and he will not live a dull life with the dragon pattern pardon decree in his hand, the emperor, you should send more people to check this matter yourself, the queen mother is old and cannot live in this world forever, so try to pave all the roads for you before she dies." Empress Dowager He picked up the silk handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said slowly.

These words moved Xigong Yao very much, and he only found out today that he was not only tired of being the emperor, but also tired of preparing everything for himself.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the sons will take care of this matter, but the queen mother sent someone to Liuyun Country to invite the prince, I don't know what it means?" In fact, the emperor came today mainly to ask about this matter.

Next month is his birthday, but when he heard that the queen mother sent someone to Liuyun Country secretly, he also carried an invitation card with him, and he was ready to invite the prince of Liuyun Kingdom to come here to participate in his birthday.

"Emperor, Liuyun Country has been growing continuously in recent years, and the frequent provocation at the border has threatened us, Xigong Jue is just an internal worry, Liuyun Country is an external trouble, and Shigang Country, Xuechen Country wants to compare, Liuyun Country is the most difficult to deal with, their country's terrain is originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they have an innate advantage. So this time, the queen mother meant to invite the prince of Liuyun Kingdom and put him under house arrest as a hostage, so that Liuyun Kingdom would not act rashly. The Queen Mother finally said her intentions.

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "However, how can the queen mother be sure that the crown prince of Liuyun Kingdom will definitely come?" ”

"Because the emperor of Liuyun Country didn't dare not accept the request of the mourning family, he was too scared, afraid of the dragon pattern pardon of our Tianmu Kingdom, he naturally didn't know whose hand the dragon pattern pardon was, so he didn't dare to offend us, so this time, we were bound to get it." Empress Dowager He's eyes exuded a smug light, sometimes women do things more viciously than men.

The emperor suddenly thought of one and asked: "Queen Mother, I heard that the prince of Liuyun Country seems to be a person with a very poor character, notorious in the territory of Liuyun Kingdom, with a wine bag and rice bag, do you think it is appropriate for such a person to be a hostage?" ”

"This emperor doesn't have to worry about it, the emperor of Liuyun Country has four sons under his knees, he can be the crown prince, there must be something extraordinary, the mourning family has investigated and found out that his biological mother, Empress Jiang, seems to be quite valued by the old emperor of Liuyun Kingdom, since this is the case, then he is a hostage here, and the mourning family is not afraid that they can cause any trouble in Liuyun Country?" The bright light in Empress Dowager He's eyes is hard to hide, and her mind is really meticulous, and sometimes even the emperor is ashamed of himself.

"Queen Mother, then we can't keep the prince of Liuyun Kingdom for a lifetime, what if they rush Liuyun Country and they jump off the wall in a hurry?" The emperor always thought that the queen mother's method was inappropriate.

"This emperor naturally doesn't have to worry, the mourning family doesn't want to keep him for a lifetime, bringing him here is just to solve the urgent need, once we find the dragon pattern pardon, then the mourning family ......?" Speaking of this, Empress Dowager He paused for a moment and did not continue to say the following.

"What about the Queen Mother? I found the dragon pattern pardon and released this prince of Liuyun Country? The emperor guessed according to the queen mother's meaning, but unfortunately he never understood her queen mother.

"Of course not, if we find the dragon pattern forgiveness, we don't have to be afraid of any Liuyun Country, until then...... beheaded the prince, fought with the Liuyun Kingdom, drove straight into the Liuyun Kingdom, and then took the opportunity to dominate the world after destroying the Liuyun Kingdom. When Empress Dowager He said this, there was a cold look in her eyes, not at all like the courage that a woman should have.

The emperor always felt that the queen mother was too resolute and left no room for things, but it turned out that his mother was right, since ancient times, which person who has achieved great things is not like this, if he has always been benevolent to women, he will only limit himself to danger, and even lose a lot.

"Queen Mother, these are all later words, and the sons and daughters don't want to dominate the world, and the war is together, and the people are the ones who suffer the most casualties, so if they can avoid it, they will be spared." In fact, Xigong Yao is not without ambition, nor is he timid and afraid, he really doesn't want to fight, just for the people of the world.

There are many kinds of emperors, and those who fight for the world may be called heroes, but those who are diligent in government and love the people are the best emperors, because they bring good news to the people.

From this point of view alone, Xigong Jue may not be as good as Xigong Yao, which may be the reason why the first emperor weighed the pros and cons when he was dying and decided to pass on the throne to Xigong Yao.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager He, she thought that the first emperor might have given the Xigong Jue Dragon Pattern pardon in order to rebel and ascend the throne one day, but in Xigong Yao's eyes, he had another understanding.

Perhaps the first emperor was afraid that Xigong Yao's mother and son would kill Xigong Jue, so he left a life talisman for his beloved son.

But these are conjectures after all, and no one knows what the real reason is, because the first emperor has long since passed away, and the answer has been buried in the imperial tomb and turned into dust.

"Emperor, the mourning family is tired, you should also go and rest, this matter is so decided, next month Liuyun Kingdom will definitely send the prince, and we will sit back and enjoy it." Empress Dowager He waved her hand and sent her son away, and she was also supported by the palace maid to rest.

The emperor always disagreed with the Queen Mother's approach, but he couldn't hurt the heart of a mother......

The emperor sighed and got up and walked out of Tianxuan Palace, and the accompanying old eunuch Zhu Gonggong asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to turn over the brand?" ”

"What time is it, it's almost dawn, I'd better go back to the Golden Dragon Hall and take a rest." After that, the emperor walked towards his bedroom.
