Chapter 11: Son
That night, more than 400 people in the regent palace were slaughtered overnight by a group of dead soldiers of unknown origin, and a fire was also set on fire, and Helian Qi's body continued to suffer, causing the palace to be in a state of ruins.
It wasn't until half a year ago that Helian Qi rebuilt the Regent Palace, so Su Wan'er and the four of them were the first people to enter the new palace.
As Yingxue said, with the enrichment of the master and the servants and guards, all kinds of waste will be restored, and this palace will soon be lively and restore the prosperity of the past.
Because during the funeral of the first emperor, the ceremony of Rong Yan being honored as the queen mother was not held, but all the people who served were complete, a full 120 people.
So it's no wonder that the harem woman fought to the death just to ascend to the throne of the queen mother, Helian Qi sarcastically mocked her for betraying him for favor and power.
Li Yuquan, the chief eunuch of Changle Palace, was the deputy chief when Rong Yan was still the queen.
Li Yuquan is in his twenties, with a very delicate face, but he is stable and has martial arts, and he came in at this moment and saluted Rong Yan and said: "Queen Mother, just a quarter of an hour ago, Concubine Shu drank poisoned wine and was martyred for the first emperor. ”
Concubine Shu is the favorite of Helian Mo in the entire harem, this result Rong Yan is not surprised, but Rong Yan is still surprised, "Fang Cheng loves his daughter like his life, didn't he do anything to save his daughter?" ”
Concubine Shu gave birth to a second prince, her father was born in a poor family, and with his own strength, he became a great minister step by step after high school, and he was the only prime minister in the dynasty who could compete with Helian Qi.
Prime Minister Fang was also one of the common teachers of Helian Qi and Helian Mo, and was the head of the royalist faction and Helian Mo's confidant.
"He gave his second daughter to the regent."
Rong Yan has been in charge of the harem for five years, and her eyeliner is all over every corner of the harem.
"But on the one hand, the regent returned the people, and the other was as strong as a concubine, and after hearing that she sent a blood letter to Prime Minister Fang, she severely reprimanded Prime Minister Fang, threatening to rather die than betray the first emperor, and let Prime Minister Fang do her best to assist the new emperor after her funeral, help the new emperor to govern himself, and one day seize the imperial power and kill Helian Qi."
This remark is too rebellious, Li Yuquan's voice is very low, observing Rong Yan's expression, seeing that she is as calm and indifferent as usual, and she can't see what she thinks in her heart.
He cautiously speculated, "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be sorry, in the past, Concubine Shu did not harm the Queen Mother, and she also attacked the young emperor repeatedly, and she died innocently." ”
"But after all, Prime Minister Fang is the head of the royalist faction, in order to appease him for losing his beloved daughter, Queen Mother, look, what do we reward for the past?"
Rong Yan was thinking that Concubine Shu died, so when Helian Qi and the neighboring princess and she were designed by Concubine Shu, no one could give Helian Qi a truth.
But she and Helian Qi have come to this point, and the past doesn't matter anymore.
Now she and Helian Qi can only be political enemies.
Rong Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Spread the decree of the mourning family, seal the mother of the prime minister of the house as Mrs. Yipin, and then pick a few good things from the private treasury of the mourning family and reward them to the prime minister's wife and other ladies in the house." ”
"Minion, let's go and pass the decree!" Li Yuquan estimated that after Prime Minister Fang got this, he was not only unhappy, but also in a heavy mood.
Because the Queen Mother's grace and power mean that he will not be able to withdraw from the royalist faction no matter what, he is gambling on the rise and fall of the Fang family and the lives of hundreds of people.
Helian Qi's campaign to eradicate the party could no longer be carried out, and the DPRK and China were still divided into three factions.
Rong Yan drank tea thoughtfully, what she had to do next was to stand with the royalist faction led by Prime Minister Fang Cheng, support and assist the new emperor, and win over more available people.
Now everything seems to be silent, whether it is Helian Qi or the royalists, they are all calm and unmoving.
Rong Yan went from saving her life to planning all this, and finally relaxed at this moment, and asked softly, "How is Yi'er these days?" ”
"The emperor has come up several times, but at that time, the queen mother was in a difficult situation, and the slave and maid obeyed your orders to coax him back, he persevered, especially knowing that you were sick, and now in the outer hall, I waited stubbornly with tears for a day." Ying Xue saw that Rong Yan finally had a smile on her face, and she was also relieved in her heart, so she asked the female official who usually took care of Helian Yi to bring Helian Yi in.
The almost five-year-old child, his eyes were still red, and he first saluted Rong Yan in a proper manner, "Erchen greets the queen mother." ”
"Hurry up." When Rong Yan saw Helian Yi, her complexion was half better, and she bent down and reached out to pick up Helian Yi, but she couldn't pick him up because her body was too weak.
Seeing this, Helian Yi bent up along Rong Yan's arm, threw himself into Rong Yan's arms, looked up at Rong Yan with a immature but delicate face like jade, his voice was still hoarse, but his tone was awe-inspiring: "Queen Mother, Yi'er knows that the regent forced you to be martyred for your father, and it was General Rong who used his military power to keep his mother, and his sons will definitely remember General Rong's kindness." ”
"The queen mother can rest assured, now that the son is the emperor, he will definitely protect the queen mother, and one day he will kill the regent Helian Qi and seize the imperial power, and he will never let the queen mother be controlled by others."
Children in this era are generally precocious, especially in the royal family, but Rong Yan was still surprised for a moment when she looked at the coldness on Helian Yi's little face, and hurriedly touched Helian Yi's head and said, "The queen mother was not bullied by the regent. ”
"Yi'er, the queen mother said that the regent is your imperial uncle, you have to be respectful to him, now that your father is gone, you are the emperor, and the regent should be treated with respect and affection as your father, understand?"
Rong Yan didn't let Helian Yi know the love and hatred between her, Helian Qi and Helian Mo, and kept whitewashing peace in front of Helian Yi.
Even if she was depressed and unhappy after entering the palace, she did not bring negative emotions to Helianyi, just to let Helianyi live in a warm and stable environment.
It's a pity that in her previous life, she set a fire before she died, and asked Wan Jin to take Helian Yi out of the palace while in chaos.
Helian Yi grew up to be a man with a twisted and brutal temperament and a penchant for killing.
Fortunately, this life has been changed by her, and she still has time to teach Helian Yi to become a benevolent and virtuous Mingjun for the people.
Helian Yi was calm and calm, and obeyed Rong Yan's words, and responded to Rong Yan, "Yes, the son remembers the teachings of the queen mother." ”
Rong Yan looked at Helian Yi's facial features with gentle eyes, "Stay in the harem tonight, and the queen mother will make your favorite jujube pastry." ”
"The queen mother loves Yi'er the most." Helian Yi is just the opposite of Helian Qi, he has always liked sweets.
Rong Yan often creates some original pastries, such as jujube pastry, which ordinary people have never seen before, and are only circulated among the royal family and nobles.
Helian Mo had been in bed for several months before he died, and Helian Yi had long been ready to lose his father, and he was also numb with sadness these days.
And Rong Yan can see that this child doesn't know who to follow, she is really born cold, and she is indifferent to everyone except for her, the queen mother.
