Chapter 020: The Empress is frightened

readx;? Early the next morning, Jiuhua Hall and Mingluan Hall each had a palace maid who went out of the palace with a waist card. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the Jiuhua Hall was guarded by the forbidden army, it was Yang Liangren who was grounded, not other people in the Jiuhua Palace, so Ying'er went out of the Jiuhua Hall and went straight to the palace gate in the name of going to the dining room for Yang Liangren to get breakfast.

At the same time, Lianxin also left the Mingluan Palace, returned to Zhou Taichang's mansion, and handed over Zhou Meiren's letter to Zhou Taichang's hands.

At this time, the time of the early dynasty has passed, and Zhou Taichang has just returned home from the court, and when he saw Zhou Meiren's letter, he only thought for a moment, and after sending Lianxin away, he went to the study and wrote an excerpt.

The content of the excerpt is naturally to implore the emperor to send Yang Yushi to the south to treat floods and disasters, for two reasons, one is because Yang Yushi had experience in dealing with floods during the period of the first emperor, and the other is because Yang Yushi, as a civil official, is second only to the prime minister, and is quite representative.

One morning, not only Zhou Taichang's excerpts, but also Yang Yushi's excerpts that took the initiative to ask Ying, plus the different factions to which Zhou Taichang and Yang Yushi belonged, and some people echoed the remarks of the two.

For a while, the folds in the Changming Palace piled up into a mountain, just like the last time he was forced to hand over the southwest military power to Qin Yuankai, this time, the same courtiers played at the same time, and sent Yang Yushi to the south to control the water.

Lu Yingquan glanced at these folds hastily, categorized them, then counted them, and said to Shen Ze: "Your Majesty, there are a total of thirty-six folds, all of which are talking about the same thing. It seems that Yang Yushi's trip to the south is what everyone expects. ”

"On weekdays, these courtiers who support the Queen Mother and those who support the Shen family do not compromise with each other, you fight for me, but in this matter, it is rare to be consistent. Shen Ze sneered and said, "At this time, it is obvious that someone is secretly plotting. ”

"Does the emperor think that it will be the Queen Mother?" Lu Yingquan asked, "Yang Yushi is from her side, let Yang Yushi control the water and make a name for himself, others will think that this is the Queen Mother's grace, but will ignore the existence of the emperor." ”

Shen Ze didn't speak, he looked down at the fold in front of him, and he was in a trance for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he raised his head before asking, "What about Gu Qingming, why didn't he come?"

"Your Majesty, General Gu is going to inspect the camp on the outskirts of Beijing today to inspect the results of the army's training. Lu Yingquan said, "Besides, General Gu took over the old department of General Wu, and if he wants to cultivate a tacit understanding, he will definitely need to spend a lot of effort." ”

"That's fine. Shen Ze sighed, "Rong Zhen thinks about it again, who should be sent to the south." ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking a little more, what should I do about the relocation of Ji'an County? Yang Yushi is obviously the Empress Dowager's person, if he is really sent to the south, then the people of Ji'an County are unlikely to move into Yiguo. Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Ze, who was bowing his head and contemplating, and asked again.

Since she came up with a water control method for Shen Ze to dredge the river with the help of Yun Yao, coupled with Yun Yao's story, Shen Ze has slowly lowered her guard and vigilance against her, so these days, she has followed Shen Ze to the court, helped deal with the twists and turns in Changming Palace, listened to Shen Ze and Gu Qingming discuss the flood disaster in the south, and also had a general understanding of the current situation in her heart.

Yiguo is the feudal kingdom of Daning, and now King Yi is Shen Che, the seventh prince of the first emperor, and the only son of the first emperor who was raised by his side to teach him personally.

In addition, when the former emperor was alive, King Yi's biological mother Jiang Meiren even overshadowed the current Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother wary of Jiang Meiren's mother and son, and even had murderous intentions.

Fortunately, after the death of the first emperor, Jiang Meiren invited herself to take Shen Che to leave the Daning Palace and go to the farthest fiefdom of Yiguo, and Shen Che has been fond of wine all these years, singing every night, ignoring the government and politics, and having a debaucherous attitude, which slowly made the Empress Dowager Qin give up the idea of killing them, but the vigilance of the Empress Dowager Qin has not been relaxed, and the monitoring and control of Yiguo has not stopped.

The people of Ji'an County moved into Yiguo, which will bring a large number of labor force to Yiguo, as well as agricultural production technology, which is a great good thing for the development of Yiguo, so according to the character of the Empress Dowager Qin, she would rather ruin the entire Ji'an County, and may not let Yiguo have the slightest chance to grow.

Just when Shen Ze and Lu Yingquan fell silent because of this matter, Luo Song walked in from outside, stood still in the lower hall, and said to Shen Ze:

"Your Majesty, the eunuch Qian Gonggong, the steward of the Hehuan Palace, asked to see him, saying that the queen's mother was frightened by the witchcraft of witchcraft, and asked the emperor to go up to the Hehuan Hall to have a look. ”

"The queen is frightened, shouldn't she find the imperial doctor? I still want to review the folding, you go to the imperial hospital, and find the imperial doctor Li to take a look. When Shen Ze heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said.

Lu Yingquan thought for a moment, and then said to Father-in-law Luo: "Father-in-law Luo, please go and tell Father-in-law Qian, saying that the emperor will come immediately." ”

"Lu Yingquan, you are getting bolder and bolder, you actually dare to take the idea for me without authorization?" Shen Ze looked at Lu Yingquan, with a faint anger on his face.

"Oh, Your Majesty!" Lu Yingquan explained when he heard this, "Since the queen mother entered the palace, has there ever been a place that has caused trouble to the emperor? No matter what happens in the Hehuan Palace, she will solve it if she can solve it, and if she can't solve it, she will find the queen mother, when has she ever found the emperor? Today, the queen suddenly sent someone to Changming Palace, doesn't the emperor think it is strange?"

"What's so strange?" asked Shen Ze.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, the person next to the queen mother is Yun Yao. Lu Yingquan said, "Yun Yao's medical skills are excellent, if the queen is really sick, she can solve it herself, why bother the emperor? Since Hehuan Hall invited the emperor to come over, it means that there are some things that Yun Yao can't solve." ”

When Shen Ze heard this, he felt that Lu Yingquan's words were also quite reasonable, so he thought for a moment, and then instructed Luo Song: "Set up the Hehuan Palace." ”

"The slave obeys—" As soon as Luo Song heard this, he immediately set about to prepare.

After a cup of tea, Shen Ze's sedan chair was ready, accompanied by Lu Yingquan and Luo Song, and soon arrived at the Hehuan Palace.

The queen was frightened, and the news that the emperor personally went to visit the queen in the Hehuan Hall also spread throughout the harem with lightning speed, and also reached the ears of the queen mother.

The concubines of the palace thought that the emperor had seen the ability and aura of the little queen since yesterday's witchcraft, and was interested in the little queen, but the queen mother did not think so.

She has always been suspicious and sick, Shen Ze used to ignore Rong Ya, and she didn't even like this queen at all, why did she go to visit the queen in person now?

"Jinxiu, you go to the Hehuan Palace, and the mourning family must know what they are thinking. The Queen Mother commanded.

"Well, the slave and maid will go. Jinxiu answered, and then went out of Jianzhang Palace and headed towards Hehuan Palace.

In the Hehuan Palace, Rong Ya was lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes closed, fine sweat on her forehead, and her hands involuntarily grabbed the sheets, looking very painful.

Shen Ze sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the little girl lying on the bed, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart.

In fact, Rong Ya is also innocent, she is so young, she was only nine years old when she entered the palace, where does she know what kind of court checks and balances, harem power techniques? She is just a chess piece of the queen mother.

And Shen Ze recalled what he had done during this time, he was not yet capable of confronting the Queen Mother, so he vented all his anger on Rong Ya, ignored her, and let her be lonely and lonely in the palace, and was bullied and ridiculed by other concubines.

And all of this didn't get better until Rong Ya was born at the age of ten and took charge of Fengyin.

Imperial Physician Li cut Rong Ya's pulse, and then said to Shen Ze: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is indeed frightened, and her pulse is unstable, Rong Weichen prescribes a prescription and boils a few soothing soups for the queen mother, and it will be fine." ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and prescribe a prescription?" Shen Ze drank coldly.

Imperial Physician Li was honestly frightened, and quickly wrote the prescription, handed it over to Mama Qi, and then retreated, while Mama Qi led the bamboo branch and followed Imperial Physician Li to the Imperial Doctor's Office to grab medicine.

In the room, in addition to Rong Ya, who was lying down, there were soon only Shen Ze, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao left, as well as miscellaneous chrysanthemum leaves, and Luo Song stood outside the hall to guard.

"Ju Ye, the emperor has been here for a long time, and he hasn't been able to drink tea, you go and make a cup of tea for the emperor, the queen is here, I'll take care of it." Yun Yao looked at the chrysanthemum leaf and commanded.

"Yes, Miss Yun, the slave and maid will go. Ju Ye said, bowed down, and then went to the small kitchen to boil water, ready to make tea for Shen Ze.

Finally, there were only three of them left in the room, and at this time, Rong Ya suddenly opened her eyes, looked sideways and looked outside, and found that there was no one else, so she spoke:

"Oh, I really admire Yang Liangren, I can pretend to be sick for so many days, I've only been around for a while, I can't stand it. ”

When Shen Ze heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, looked at Rong Ya, and then at Yun Yao, with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I had to make this decision as a last resort, just to invite you over. Yun Yao said, "It's just that the poor queen is so young, but she also has to suffer with her." ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Shen Ze.

"Here's the thing, the witchcraft that just came to an end yesterday......" Yun Yao was about to open her mouth to explain, but she heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Seeing this, Rong Ya hurriedly lay down on the bed again, closed her eyes, and continued to pretend to be sick.

Yun Yao was immediately silenced, and walked to the door with a somewhat serious expression, but saw Xiao Haizi running over, panting and saying to Yun Yao: "Miss Yun, Aunt Jinxiu of Jianzhang Palace is here, and she has arrived at the gate of Hehuan Palace!"

"I know, you go and keep an eye on it first, if there's anything, report later. Yun Yao said.

"Eh, okay!" Xiao Haizi responded, turned around and ran again, spreading his feet and running as fast as he could, for fear of delaying Yun Yao's business.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is very suspicious, and she has sent Aunt Jinxiu to check. Yun Yao said, "What I want to say, I can't let Aunt Jinxiu hear a word, otherwise the previous plan will be wasted!"

"Then what should I do? The emperor finally came here, and you can't run to Changming Palace inexplicably, this ......" Lu Yingquan suddenly became nervous when he heard this.
