In Xingqing Palace, the Queen Mother held the Buddha beads in her hand, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and recited the Buddha beads for about half an hour, before she was supported by the palace maid and slowly got up and left the Buddha Hall.

She sat on the Luohan bed, with a little sandalwood in front of the Buddha on her body, and pointed to the Buddha beads, plain clothes and simple makeup, and she had a bit of a solemn appearance.

Mama Tian entered from outside the palace and whispered a few words in the queen mother's ear.

Empress Dowager Zhou opened her eyes, and the Buddha beads in her hand were also stunned, "As soon as the queen left the Taiji Palace, the will of the Holy Lord to summon the Marquis of Xiangcheng also left the Taiji Palace?" ”

"Exactly!" Mama Tian nodded.

The Queen Mother touched the Buddha beads, "Zhou Shizhong and Meng Taifu persuaded in the Taiji Palace for an afternoon without persuasion, and the queen said to move in less than an hour?" ”

"The saint Muse, and the queen has the love of a young husband and wife, and the queen's words can be listened to." Mama Tian nodded.

The Queen Mother remembered the incident of the palace people some time ago, and her kind eyes flashed with sharp color, "Having said that, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will listen to the queen's words too much." ”

The queen is shrewd, but the emperor can listen to the queen's words. Although there is no one in the queen's mother's house, looking at the queen's posture, it doesn't look like she is close to the Zhou family. Some time ago, the palace people were released from the palace, which shows the queen's ambition.

The queen has many means, and she is the mother of the country, and this moment is even more eventful, and she can't be moved for a while. The new emperor adopted Rongzhi's suggestion and kept filial piety for three years. Not entering the new concubine for three years is enough to make the queen full-fledged, if there is no personal constraint, I am afraid that the queen will be a big family.

"The Queen Mother wants to ......"

"How's Ling Wen's training?" The Queen Mother asked. The new emperor Mu Se, Guan Zhi knew it, but he secretly offered a bewitching woman, so that the new emperor was more merciful to Guan Zhi.

Although this method is not on the table, it is better to use.

"The three ladies are smart and beautiful, and no one must love them. It's just that now the saint wants to keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to accept a new concubine by his side. Mama Tian hesitated.

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, "The Holy Lord is busy with state affairs, and the Queen is in charge of the harem." The mourning family is lonely under their knees, and it is reasonable to call their niece to serve in the palace and fulfill their filial piety on behalf of the emperor, who else dares to put their beaks aside? ”

Sanniang's appearance is outstanding, and the emperor will never forget it after seeing it. The new emperor is not a strong-willed person when he sees it, otherwise he would not have eaten it secretly before a hundred days.

After Sanniang entered the palace, with her matchmaking, why can't she succeed? The so-called concubines are better than stealing, and when the time comes, they will also have an eye and ears to influence the new emperor. Besides, as long as this matter is hidden from others, it means that the new emperor's handle is in her hands, and it can also be hindered at that time.

When Mama Tian heard this, she had to nod.

"Now that the Marquis of Xiangcheng has also entered Beijing, Lingwang's affairs will also be arranged. What's going on over there? The Queen Mother asked again. She is bound to win this matter, the Zhou family and the eunuch are on the same page, the Marquis of Xiangcheng and the eunuch are endless, the two are natural allies, Zhou Lingwang is beautiful and intelligent, Gu Lingxu should have no reason to refuse.

Mama Tian frowned slightly, "The fourth lady is still in Mingyue Nunnery now. ”

"Why are you still in Mingyue Nunnery?" Empress Dowager Zhou was puzzled.

Mama Tian shook her head, "I heard that it seems that the fourth lady felt that she was not pious enough, so she stayed in front of the Buddha for a few more days." ”

"Is this kid really going to escape into the empty door?" Empress Dowager Zhou frowned, slightly hiding the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and waved her hand, "That's it, tell her to come back quickly." A young girl, who has been staying in the nunnery, what does it look like? ”

"Yes." Mama Tian nodded.

……

When Gu Lingxu received the edict from Emperor Yuanjia, he changed his clothes and entered the Taiji Hall with the eunuch who announced the decree.

Xichang has been out of the imperial court for a long time, and Gu Lingxu has not come to the Hajj for a long time.

Emperor Yuan Jia pressed his displeasure.

After saluting, Emperor Yuan Jia got straight to the point: "Why did Marquis Xiangcheng suddenly enter Beijing?" ”

"The saint ascended the throne, and Weichen, as a courtier of the Northern Qi Dynasty, should have entered Beijing for the Hajj." This was said quite deferentially, and Emperor Yuan Jia's face was slightly relieved.

And Meng Songyan on the side was also relieved. The Marquis of Xiangcheng is young and frivolous, and has a rebellious temperament, the first emperor did not rebel once, and now that the dynasty has changed, he is willing to return to obedience, and Meng Songyan is naturally happy to see it.

"If you want to enter Beijing, you should also write a letter to ask for instructions, so that you can be respectful, even if the Marquis of Xiangcheng has the intention to make a pilgrimage, you should also abide by the rules." Guan Zhi opened his eyes coldly.

Gu Lingxu's most disgusting thing was Guan Zhi, and now when he saw him speak, he couldn't help but say coldly: "Ben Hou has already written to the court, saying that he will enter the court after the national funeral. Don't know how to disobey? is the supervisor, who can't manage the people under his hands, and connivs at them to hurt people in the streets and alleys of Wangjing, which is called unruly. ”

"Marquis Xiangcheng, what you are talking about is to march to Beijing after the state funeral. And now that the national funeral has just passed, you have arrived in the capital, do you dare to say that you did not enter Beijing early? Besides, even if you can travel a thousand miles in a day, shouldn't you inform the court when you leave? Entering Beijing so quietly doesn't there be another plan? ”

Gu Lingxu sneered, "Although the supervisor has served as a military general, he has not been on the battlefield in the end. The border is changing rapidly, and there are countless spies in Xirong and the Southern Jin Dynasty, which affect the whole body. Ben Hou is secret, since there is a truth of Ben Hou, why do these truths need to be specially told to you? If the supervisor is not satisfied, he can go to the battlefield in Xichang to have a look. ”

"You! Mess around! Guan Zhi didn't look at Gu Lingxu, turned to Emperor Yuanjia and said: "Shengshang, the Marquis of Xiangcheng entered Beijing privately and was proud of his achievements, which can be described as domineering, and please take it down immediately to correct the law of the country." ”

Meng Songyan frowned, and hurriedly said: "Since the Marquis of Xiangcheng has a reason, why don't you say it quickly, so that the Holy Judge can be." ”

Seeing Meng Songyan speak, Gu Lingxuan was a little respectful, he looked at Emperor Yuanjia and said: "Back to the saint, Weichen came to Beijing because he heard that the envoy from Xirong had entered Beijing and intended to trade with our dynasty. Shengshang, Xirong's wolf ambition, is now because of the defeat in the battle with the Southern Jin Dynasty, so he has made friends with our dynasty. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, Xirong must not be guarded against, and Weichen entered Beijing in order to dissuade the saint.

As for the secrecy, Weichen concealed his traces and entered Beijing, and was chased and killed by the Xirong people and my internal thieves, and almost died. The Xirong people are still so bold and bold in our court, and as soon as the southwest gate is opened, it must be the people of Northern Qi who will suffer. ”

In fact, many people guessed that Gu Lingxu's entry into Beijing might be related to Xirong, but no one thought that Gu Lingxu would say it so directly.

"Nonsense!" Guan Zhi hurriedly retorted, and he said: "At this moment, trade between the imperial court and Xirong is imminent, is Xiangcheng Marquis trying to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two parties?" ”
