Chapter 27: Back to the Girder 13
The queen died, and the emperor posthumously named her "Empress Yixiao Xianhui" and was buried in the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as this edict came out, it caused a lot of discussion in the harem of the former dynasty, and the emperor did not have the honor of being buried in the imperial mausoleum after the death of the emperor, and the queen was posthumously named "Queen Xiaowen" after her death, and the word was not given much later.
Could it be that the emperor's remarks about disagreement with his successors over the years were wrong? For a while, everyone speculated one after another, and it was not until the news came that the Duke of Qingguo led his troops back to the court that the ministers showed expressions of sudden realization.
followed by the only daughter of Qingguo Gong, this identity must not be ignored.
Sure enough, after hanging filial piety, the next month after Qingguo Gong left the capital, the second son of Concubine Shugui, the sixth prince who had entered the year of the weak crown, was crowned by the emperor as the Prince of Wuzhu and was named King Jing.
The most important thing is that the emperor left King Jing in the capital, instead of going to the fief.
This made the ministers, who have always liked to think a lot, slightly see some doorways.
Xiyin sat on the courtyard wall of the East Palace, shaking her legs, looking at Li Shangxuan who was reviewing documents through the window, holding a plate of sweet cakes from Yipinju and eating.
It is early spring now, and the sun on the wall is just right, and there is a shallow shadow on Li Shangxuan's wrinkled face.
Since the death of the queen the year before last, Li Shangxuan has always been like this, tense his nerves and not smiling, and his behavior has become more and more cautious, like a little old man.
Shein jumped down from the wall but fell to the ground, the movement was too loud to attract Li Shangxuan's attention, seeing his gaze here, Shein deliberately made a very contrived and enthusiastic move, waving his hand desperately to say hello.
Seeing the other party frowning and coming over, Xiyin sat on the ground as it should, waiting to be pulled up by him, and patted the floating ash on his body vigorously, Li Shangxuan hurriedly took two or three steps back when he saw this, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and looked at her with disgust.
Well, Xiyin threw the empty plate onto Li Shangxuan indifferently, lifted her skirt and entered the study.
"Have you heard, Concubine Shu is going to take charge of the phoenix seal. ”
Xiyin sat cross-legged on the chair and said, early this morning, she came out of the Anning Palace and saw the smug look of Concubine Shu, and after a while, the news came from the imperial study.
"We are now under the name of the Queen Mother, and how the harem does not matter to us. Li Shangxuan put down the plate and sat opposite Xiyin, tapping his fingertips on the table
"But a few days ago, the emperor asked King Jing to deal with a corruption case that made me a little concerned. ”
Two years have passed, and the little prince has learned to measure the power of the previous dynasty, but his age is still immature, and now the military generals are in decline, so the ministers are more inclined to have children and his mother's family is a civil servant.
Xiyin knew that Li Shangxuan would never mention political affairs to her for no reason, and now that he is willing to speak, it must be that he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"It's General Weiyuan. Li Shangxuan sighed after speaking.
General Weiyuan is one of Qingguogong's right-hand men, and taking him under the knife can be regarded as the emperor's direct attack on Qingguogong.
Xiyin sneered, the situation that the emperor promised the queen before her death is still vivid, it seems that in this royal family, the so-called guilt and regret can only last for a short period of two years.
Shein tapped on the table, then clapped her hands and got up and asked
"Do you want to go out of the palace and have a look?"
"I still have something to ......" Before the word "deal with it" was spoken, Li Shangxuan was pulled out by Xiyin.
Although Xiyin was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, she was unrestrained, and under the release of the Queen Mother, she would occasionally disguise herself and go out of the palace, bringing some small objects from time to time, such as puppets that would dance with ropes, bamboo dragonflies flying to the sky, and animals woven with cattails, in order to tease Li Shangxuan.
Li Shangxuan knew that Xiyin didn't like restraint, and never asked her when and how to leave the palace, and today I watched Xiyin skillfully dig out a piece of the clothes of a palace servant from a dog hole, a little shocked, a little disgusted, and a little regretful.
