The little emperor's worries are not superfluous, although he is not very old, he still sees the current situation clearly, but he didn't think it clearly at the beginning, and he was instigated by Nan Zixi.

On this day, above the court, the prime minister questioned his order.

The little emperor had no choice but to say: "Aiqing, this is a decision made by the Queen Mother before, and everyone agreed to it at the beginning." ”

The prime minister said unhappily: "Yes, it is indeed the queen mother's decision, but where is the queen mother now, if the queen mother sees the current situation, she will change her mind." ”

"Yes, where is the Queen Mother, please let the emperor inform you."

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? The emperor should always give everyone an explanation! ”

The persecution of everyone made Nan Jinyan a little at a loss, and he was a little panicked, "The Queen Mother went out for a walk, I said it before!" You also know that the Queen Mother has a bold personality and is eclectic, so no one knows where it is. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister heard rumors among the people that the Queen Mother had suffered an accident!"

"Presumptuous, who said that?" Nan Jinyan was annoyed, "Are you persecuting me? If the Queen Mother is not there, can you see no one? ”

"The emperor is angry, the ministers don't mean this, it's just that the queen mother's affairs are ......"

"I will take care of this matter, and you can do your part." Nan Jinyan said stiffly.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and the second emperor uncle stood up and said, "Colleagues, it seems a little inappropriate for everyone to question the emperor like this!" Since the emperor doesn't want to say it, why should everyone work hard? ”

This sentence was ostensibly to help Nan Jinyan, but in fact it put him in an even more embarrassing situation. Everyone began to talk to each other, and Nan Jinyan had no choice but to retreat angrily.

Xiao Qian didn't say a word today, because he knew that even if he said it, it would have no effect. He also wondered where the Queen Mother went, but it was not good to express her position at such a time.

After the emperor left, Nan Shanyuan said to everyone: "Everyone, where did the queen mother go?" The emperor didn't say a word, but everyone should have their own thoughts in their hearts! ”

A minister who usually doesn't have a good relationship with him said coldly: "What does the second prince mean?" ”

Nan Shanyuan looked at everyone and smiled, "The old minister doesn't understand the meaning of the saint, but I think there is something strange about this matter." ”

He originally wanted to say something, but he gave up when he saw the appearance of everyone, especially Xiao Qian's attitude was very indifferent, which made Nan Shanyuan dare not be too presumptuous.

Xiao Qian walked out of the main hall, and Master Li followed, "Lord Shoufu, can you borrow one to speak?" ”

Xiao Qian nodded and went out with Master Li.

When there was no one, Master Li said, "Lord Shoufu, where do you think the Queen Mother has gone?" Why don't you suddenly go to court? ”

Xiao Qian shook his head, although he had been to the Queen Mother's bedroom, there was no news of the Queen Mother, and he couldn't say it himself, otherwise it might be even more turbulent.

"The official doesn't know that the Queen Mother has always done things in accordance with the rules, so it's hard to figure it out."

"Some people are worried that the Queen Mother will encounter an accident, what does Lord Shoufu think?"

"We can't jump to conclusions without evidence. Besides, didn't the emperor say that the queen mother went out for a walk? Don't be too anxious, Master Li, just wait a few more days and take a look! ”

Xiao Qian said this, and Lord Li didn't want to ask anything more.

Nanshanyuan sent someone to invite Xiao Qian to come to the mansion for a gathering, Xiao Qian didn't want to drink with him, but it was difficult to refuse at this time.

So I prepared a gift and came to the house.

Nan Shan Yuan personally came out to greet him, "Lord Shousuke, please come in." ”

"The prince is polite." Xiao Qian arched his hand.

After three rounds of drinking, Nanshan Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and he said with some indignation: "Although this king is the younger brother of the first emperor, he didn't come back after the first emperor died, and it's really sad to think about it." But that was the order of the Queen Mother, and the king could not disobey it. ”

Xiao Qian nodded, "What the prince said is very true, the Queen Mother listens to the government, and state affairs are arranged by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has no reason to disobey it." ”

Nan Shanyuan looked at Xiao Qian and said softly: "This king heard that the Queen Mother is very wary of your lord, and she has been suppressing you!" I heard that one of your proud protégés was sent to the frontier by the Queen Mother. ”

Xiao Qian didn't have too much expression on his face, "The prince is serious, as the first assistant and the first minister, he naturally has to do his best for state affairs, and he should be blunt if he has a little disagreement with the queen mother, this is responsible for the emperor and the people." ”

"Adults are broad-minded, but after all, the Queen Mother is a woman, and it is inevitable that you will feel that you are highly meritorious. There is no news from the Queen Mother recently, I don't know what you think? ”

Nan Shanyuan asked directly, because he concluded that there was a grudge between Xiao Qian and the Queen Mother.

Xiao Qian was not surprised by Nan Shanyuan's question, but it was impossible for him to talk to this person. As a prince, he has ambitions that ordinary people don't have, Xiao Qian's heart is like a mirror, but he didn't say it.

He shook his head, "I don't know! I don't want to speculate. ”

It can be seen that Xiao Qian doesn't want to talk to him so deeply, and he feels a little unhappy, but it's not easy to show it. After all, above the court, Xiao Qian's power is strong, and it is not something he can provoke.

Nan Shanyuan smiled, "This king doesn't want to speculate, but now the situation in the court is grim, which makes people worry." The emperor is still young, and now that the queen mother is away, many things cannot be solved most accurately. Shousuke-sama must have had such concerns. ”

Xiao Qian nodded, "As an important minister of the imperial court, it is certain that you are worried about the country and the people." It's just that this official is not as far-sighted as the emperor's uncle, and he has always thought that the emperor has his own considerations for doing this. ”

"There are no outsiders here, in fact, Lord Xiao doesn't have to worry too much. The emperor was so wise, but now the emperor is indecisive, and everything is waiting for the queen to make a decision. That's it, but the Queen Mother is nowhere to be seen now. This king is a blood relative of the emperor, so he can't ignore this situation. ”

"This king can actually ignore it, but I am definitely sorry for the first emperor, Lord Xiao also knows how good the first emperor was to this king when he was alive."

"The position of the prince and the official is different, and the angle of consideration is naturally different. The official still has something to do, so he will retire first. Saying that, Xiao Qian stood up.

For Nanshanyuan's ambition, Xiao Qian knew very well in his heart that he could not stop it, but he would never help it, this was the principle he adhered to.

People didn't want to talk about it, and Nanshanyuan couldn't force him to stay, so he could only get up and send him off.

"Master Xiao go slowly!" Nan Shanyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and still said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, please stay!" Xiao Qian politely arched his hand.

After saying that, he strode away, he had to come here today, he knew that there must be a lot of eyes staring at him.
