Chapter 4: Gagging

Only then did the concubines realize this problem, and all their faces turned pale for a moment, and then this group of concubines who usually hurt me and I hurt you hugged each other and cried bitterly, and fear and despair filled the entire hall.

Rong Yan twisted the beads unhurriedly, closed her eyes after listening for a while, and in the sound of the rain outside the hall, she said in a cold and soft voice, "Okay, you all go back, the palace will keep you safe." ”

The funeral ceremony of the first emperor was carried out in the Taiji Hall, and in the Liangyi Hall, Helian Qi sat behind the bookcase, listening to the ministers report on various matters including the funeral of the first emperor, the enthronement of the new emperor, and the sacrifice.

When Helian Mo was there, because he was often sick in bed, the government was in the hands of several auxiliary ministers headed by Helian Qi, and now that the new emperor was young, Helian Qi was more equivalent to the emperor.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Helian Qi used ruthless means to interpret what it means to "make a general a success and ten thousand bones wither", and in just one day, he eradicated many parties and killed many civilian and military generals.

The blood outside the hall stained the steps red, and before the rain could wash them away, they were covered with warmer and thicker blood, and the cracks of the gold bricks were soaked.

The wails and curses of the slain reached the ears of everyone in the temple.

They shouted that the regent Helian Qi conspired to usurp the throne and control the government, brutally and brutally killed loyal ministers, and cursed Helian Qi for not dying well, leaving a stench for 10,000 years, and he would definitely be dug up and exhumed by future generations.

The civil and military ministers of Helian Qi's faction are all from big families, and they are worried when they hear it, and cold sweat breaks out on their foreheads.

Helian Qi himself didn't care at all, and his domineering gaze swept over every cronie and minister present, "When they choose a party, they should have expected their own fate today, and in the same way, if this king loses power one day, your death time will come." ”

These words made the ministers immediately kneel on the ground and shouted in unison: "We are willing to take the head of the regent, swear allegiance to the regent, and do our best for the regent!" ”

"Get up." The recital of the Ganlu Hall moved here, and Helian Qi's face was grim, and he opened a book of recitals.

A confidant minister asked, "According to Daqi's system, the harem concubines of the first emperor, especially those with princes, should be buried with the first emperor, headed by Empress Rong, and the regent, you see, go to the mother and leave the son, do you want to send Empress Rong on the road now?" ”

Helian Qi saw a dark trace on the fold, and his eyes froze, it should have been stained by Rong Yan on the night of the palace change.

She's really made of water.

The rain outside the hall kept falling, and the air was humid, and Helian Qi threw the fold on the bookcase with a "snap".

That kind of coercion startled the minister who spoke, and he was about to change his words, speculating on the regent's thoughts.

I only heard Helian Qi's cold order coming from above, "Give Queen Rong poisonous wine, and let her go on the road with the concubines of the first emperor early tomorrow morning." ”

At night, Rong Yan learned of Helian Qi's will, and the palace maid knelt on the ground and cried, cursing Helian Qi regardless of life or death.

Rong Yan had expected this a long time ago, so she was very calm.

Helian Qi didn't believe that Helian Yi was his biological son, and he was forced to ascend the throne because of the situation, and he wanted to kill her quickly, how could he make her the queen mother?

Helian Mo left an edict not to let her be buried with her, but Helian Qi dared to rebel, so killing her was just a matter of Helian Qi's words.

Rong Yan got up from the phoenix chair, went to the kitchen of the Lizheng Palace, and made a bird's nest milk soup with her own hands and put it in the food box.

She held an umbrella from Yingxue and went to the Liangyi Palace.

When Helian Mo was there, she was free to enter and leave the Liangyi Palace, but at this moment, she was stopped by Yun Zhen, the eunuch beside the regent, "Queen Rong stopped, and the regent didn't see the harem woman of the first emperor." ”

Helian Qi deliberately let people stop her, Rong Yan didn't entangle with Yun Zhenduo, nodded and said that the palace waited for the regent to finish handling the government affairs, and then retreated to the side.

Rong Yan stood under the porch, full of vegetarian palaces, solemn and desolate.

The wind and rain drifted from behind, Rong Yan's flying plain clothes were quickly wet, and after waiting for a full hour, her thin and slingling figure was crumbling.

Just when she was about to faint, Yun Zhen stepped forward and asked her to go in alone.

Rong Yan took a deep breath and walked into the hall with the food box.

In the bright lights, Helian Qi was reviewing the folds behind the bookcase.

In the entire Great Qi, he was the only one who did not drape Helian Mo with linen and filial piety, and took off his cloak and only wore a purple robe, and the whole person was plump and handsome, and his whole body was full of dignity and the calm kingly air of guiding the country.

His drooping face was sharp and angular, the bridge of his nose was high, his thin and pale lips were pursed, and his mandible line was sharp and smooth, and he was cold and ruthless.

He is actually more suitable to be an emperor than Helianmo.

But his biological mother came from a humble background, even though he was excellent in both civil and military affairs since he was a child, and was quite valued by his father Emperor Qi Hui, but Emperor Qi Hui, who was in love, finally passed on the throne to the frail and sickly Helianmo because he favored Helianmo's biological mother.

In order to make up for him, Emperor Qi Hui also made an exception because of Helianmo's lack of ability, so he made an exception and named him the regent and asked him to assist Helianmo.

Many years have passed, and Helianmo, as emperor, has almost no merits.

And Helian Qi, in addition to the vicious and brutal means, he can rule the world with literature, retreat from foreign enemies with martial arts, and have the courage and scheming to make no last resort.

In the face of internal and external troubles, when the foreign enemy attacked at the age of 16 at the time, he repelled the opponent with only 1,000 men, and pacified the internal war several times.

Now he is completely in control of the government and has done a lot of things for the people, although he has a bad reputation and is scolded as a bad minister, but he has a great credit to the entire Great Qi.

"It's so late, Qi Lang has worked hard for the country and the people, so I made a copy of Qi Lang's favorite bird's nest milk and sent it over." Rong Yan took out the bird's nest, scooped it up with a spoon, leaned over, and fed it to Helian Qi's mouth gently.

"This king has never liked to eat these sweet things." Helian Qi raised his hand and pushed, and in the sound of "crackling", the porcelain bowl broke to the ground.

Rong Yan's clothes were full of soup, but she didn't tidy herself up, but hurriedly squatted down to pick up the pieces, and her tone was gentle and flattering, "Then what does Qi Lang like now?" I'll do it again and send it back. ”

Helian Qi's gaze fell on Rong Yan's finger that was pierced by porcelain.

He still had a cold face, without the slightest pity, but more disgust, "What you did, this king will be disgusted when he looks at it." ”
