In the first year of the co-rule, the Great Zhou and the Turkic truce, although there was a Jixia coup that shocked the government and the opposition, resulting in the beheading of the king of Shu and the abdication of the Son of Heaven, but this coup d'état was because of the disparity in victory and defeat - Yao Qian pretended to give in, and only pretended to fight with the Xuanwumen palace guards for two moments, leading the king of Shu to lead the guards into the ban, and planned to "admonish" the Empress Dowager Wei, who misled the country and the people, to withdraw from power, but when the king of Shu threw himself into the net, he immediately fell into an ambush on all sides, and the Empress Dowager Wei won the victory without bloodshed, and even when the party of the king of Shu was beheaded in public in the west city, hundreds of people only knew about the coup accident.

There was no turmoil in Chang'an City, everything seems to be developing towards a smooth trend, and even many scholars who have no enthusiasm but no political experience have hesitated to believe that internal strife and external troubles have subsided, and there is hope for revival and prosperity, Qujiang River, wine shops, Buddhist halls, and even brothels in Qinglou, as long as the scholars gather for banquets and play, they often break out into verbal swords, and even fight fiercely.

Most of the people who watched were willing to make peace, because once the war began, they would bear the brunt of the heavy taxes, and their children would be conscripted into the army, although most of them could not directly fight the barbarians, but some of them were responsible for escorting grain and grass, and some died of exhaustion on the way, or even if they were slightly delayed, they were executed by military law.

Such a death is dishonorable, there is no hope of getting compensatory at all, and the family has asked God to sue the Buddha if they are not implicated.

Therefore, the people were inclined to a truce, thinking that in this way they would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

They didn't realize that the truce was just a one-sided self-inflicted affair, and that Empress Dowager Wei could never revive the prosperous era, and that the ideal life of rice and corn and white and abundant public and private warehouses was just a mirror and a mansion in the sky, and that disaster was imminent and unavoidable.

The heavens are aware of all this, and the gods are aware of it.

In August, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, hail fell in Chang'an City, followed by several days of heavy snowfall, the houses were destroyed and the mulberry fields were damaged, the day before there was still the end of the hot summer, and in the blink of an eye, the winter made the world cold.

This is a vision, it is a warning from the sky, there is no one since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it seems that such a catastrophe has occurred when the previous dynasty was destroyed.

However, the officials on the Si Tiantai were executed by the Empress Dowager Wei for the crime of "demagoguery and incitement", so for this disaster, the official interpretation is auspicious: the season of slaughter has arrived early, indicating that all things will be rejuvenated in the future, and the will of God should be that all turmoil will end, such as the evil deeds of the sinner Shen who plotted against him are finally exposed, and the "Holy Mother", that is, under the rule of the Queen Mother, the monarchy will usher in a new situation.

Then in the late summer and early autumn of this year, the floods in many places were naturally detained and not reported, and the party members of the Empress Dowager Wei pretended to be deaf and dumb, and at the same time sang praises, and the "prosperous era of co-governance" was so comically realized in the lips and tongues of these people, but the Empress Dowager Wei was very pleased, and she held a grand sacrifice and celebration in the Ming Hall that had already been completed in the Xingqing Palace, and commended her achievements to the heavens and her subjects.

But the cold winter that came early this year even made Empress Dowager Wei miserable, but fortunately, He Shen's head fell to the ground, and the disaster was cut off, she didn't need to stay in Daming Palace, she remembered that she spent countless money to repair the Huaqing Palace, she didn't even have time to enjoy the soup spring there, since the cold arrived early, wouldn't it be right?

Of course, Empress Dowager Wei did not forget the Son of Heaven who was still imprisoned in the Zichen Palace, and she even moved to Huaqing Palace to recuperate under the pretext that the Son of Heaven was in discord.

When receiving the letter that Eleven Niang refused to return to Beijing to visit, the Empress Dowager Wei had just taken a warm bath in the hot spring, and the palace people smeared the balsam of the moist and fragrant fragrance on her body, which made her declining body skin seem to be shiny again, and the dormitory imitated the Linglong platform all over the charcoal road, although it was spacious, but it was warm as spring, and it was completely possible to wear a light gauze coat and a semi-open embroidered placket, and the Queen Mother was particularly satisfied with her carefully maintained body, plump but not bloated, and sexy and charming.

It's just that Eleven Niang's attitude damaged her happy mood, she sneered again and again, and looked at the man who pruned the flower branches to one side, that was a real man, sound and heroic, not a eunuch like Gao Yuxiang.

"Shen Yuan."

With the queen mother's soft call, Yao Qian turned sideways, wearing a stone green robe over the white undershirt, so it seems that he has both the majesty of a military general and the elegance of a scribe, his eyebrows are far less British and beautiful than He Shen, who is known as Zhou Pan'an, and even has a bit of recklessness, but Empress Dowager Wei obviously appreciates this kind of madness more, she likes this man who is not from a noble background, but he is sloppy, he never grovels, and he is not pedantic and conservative, he is really a "Keer".

Yao Qian's attraction to her has been around for a long time.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Wei couldn't do whatever she wanted at that time, not long after her husband Emperor Dezong died, she had just eradicated the Pei Zheng clan, and her son He Yan was dissatisfied with her because of this, and what she didn't expect was that Pan Bo really dared to rebel, so his appreciation for this man can only be reflected in reuse, so that he can defend Youzhou for her and destroy the rebels.

Although the results were unsatisfactory, Empress Dowager Wei did not complain.

Because she knows better than anyone else that Yao Qian is not familiar with Anton's terrain, and his temperament is not suitable for commanding Qin Buyun's old departments, but Yao Qian admires her, from the first time she saw her, Empress Dowager Wei already knew it from the man's hot but arrogant gaze.

It has nothing to do with dignity and courtiers, it is purely out of a man's appreciation of a woman.

Because of the ambiguity conveyed at this glance, Empress Dowager Wei believed that this man was loyal to her.

The window paper was actually completely pierced after Yao Qian lost Youzhou and returned to Beijing.

It is like a fire that ignites dry wood, and it is out of control from then on.

Although at that time, they were no longer young, but Empress Dowager Wei did not quench her desire for lust because of this, she felt that she was as noble as herself, she had everything, and of course she also had the qualifications to "love and be loved", who said that only young and beautiful men and women can perform earth-shattering affairs.

Before meeting Yao Qian, Empress Dowager Wei had no affection for anyone.

She resented Mrs. Wei, but had to admit that the two of them were sisters, and they were similar in their bones.

Empress Dowager Wei was indeed jealous of Empress Cui, because Empress Cui was able to get the true affection and favor of the supreme in the world, but Empress Dowager Wei was disdainful of Dezong, just like Mrs. Wei disdained Xie Raoping, Empress Dowager Wei despised Dezong as the supreme in the world, and she was so upset that Empress Cui was such a useless woman who could not even have health, she never disdained to compete for Dezong's true feelings.

What she pursues and submits to is nothing more than Dezong's identity and his throne.

For Xie Raoping, a man who has always been fooled by her and doesn't know it, Empress Dowager Wei is of course even less emotional.

Aside from identity and interests, the only man who really fascinated her was Yao Qian.

She can't rationally annotate such affection, but she can tolerate this man infinitely, and she also believes that Yao Qian's love for her has nothing to do with the interests of power.

Now, they finally don't have to hide it at all, and they can be open.

The woman, who was old but didn't know it, just held ridiculous confidence, looked at "Ke'er" with affection and veins in her hand, strode closer to her, and put the peony on her bun.

"It's not easy to cultivate such a wonderful plant that goes out of season, how can you be willing to pick it?" The Queen Mother borrowed the bronze mirror handed by Gao Yuxiang to look at the face in the glasses, and she was like a young woman's coquettishness, and at this moment she even forgot the unhappiness brought to her by Eleven Niang.

"Cultivating flowers and plants is to win people's hearts, fun is important, how can flowers and plants be precious?" Yao Qian sat down next to the Queen Mother, picked up the letter from Princess Jin and glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows: "The chess pieces are disobedient, take it, why bother to affect your mood for this." ”

"At the moment, there is indeed no one more suitable than a congratulatory letter, to replace He Er." The Queen Mother leaned on Yao Qian's arms, gently brushed the letter paper, and threw it to Gao Yuxiang casually.

"He Er is not even as good as a puppet now, so why should he choose someone else to replace him?" Yao Qian also called the Son of Heaven by his name.

"If I can exercise the right to abolish the legislature, it will be orthodox from now on, but there is still a big difference." The Queen Mother sighed: "The affairs of the court are not allowed to be expanded, and the big branches and small sections must be explained clearly and correctly, He Shen conspired against him, and he could have taken the opportunity to abolish He Er, but Wang Huaizhun and others vetoed it, and they did not recognize my right to abolish the establishment for a day, and they did not let me feel at ease after all." ”

"If Liu Shiniang is willing to cooperate, she can get twice the result with half the effort?" Yao Qian questioned.

"Wang Huaizhun is not a stubborn orthodox, he just doesn't obey me." The Queen Mother sneered: "The three important things of co-governing peace, He Jue's party, and the execution of Qi Jun, Wang Huaizhun and I have political disagreements, so naturally I don't want me to be in charge alone, to put it bluntly, it is to maintain the name of orthodoxy and restrain my cadres from making arbitrary decisions, but if you let the congratulatory letter replace He Er, Wang Huaizhun may not be opposed, King Jingzhao and Jingzhaoliu are in-laws, and the princess of the Jin Dynasty is the princess of Eleven Niang, and the implementation of pro-government in Taiyuan is popular with the people, can it become my constraint?" If Eleven Niang is willing to help the congratulatory letter ascend to the pole, Wang Huaizhun will definitely be tempted, and for me, the key is to obtain the initiative of abolishing the right to establish the pole, the congratulatory letter ascended to the pole, He Ye died of illness, Eleven Niang was martyred, without these two hidden dangers, I can appoint Wang Huaizhun as the emperor, he thought that he could assist the congratulatory letter, but in fact it will gradually be seized of real power. ”

Yao Qian's head bowed: "Wang Huaizhun is indeed not as good as Pei Zheng Er, he is quite tactful, there is no need to plant the crime of rebellion, he values fame and fortune, and he can indeed use fame and fortune to lure him, but in the end he gave him a bamboo basket to draw water." ”

In the eyes of these men and women, Wang Xiangguo is like a "bitch" who wants both interests and cherishes reputation, and he can be outwitted completely - don't they want to maintain orthodoxy? Then it will be fulfilled for them to assist the "orthodox" congratulatory letter, how big is the congratulatory letter now? A four-year-old child, in ten years, Wang Huaizhun a group of old ministers, did they not die of illness at all? The old minister passed away, and during the transfer of authority, there was a lot to do, but I was afraid that it would not fall apart?

Of course, the Queen Mother is not young anymore, and she is gradually overwhelmed, but Yao Qian is only in his early fifties, and he is very confident in his body, and he is sure that he will be old and strong in ten years, and then he will ...... Who calls the shots in this world?

However, all these assumptions cannot avoid the problems at hand.

That is, the chess piece of Princess Jin can no longer be used as she wants, in the face of the temptation that her biological son can ascend to the pole, she is not tempted at all, and even refuses to return to Beijing, the Queen Mother has no excuse to force, unless she turns her face, she has no choice.
