Xining tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, then said calmly: "You can resolve the matter between you, father and son, by yourselves."

Well, originally they were father and son, and they were also involved in the fight for the throne. She was just a poor woman who had been guarding the poor for half her life, and she had no ability to mess with this bucket of shit.

Xining looked at the plate and asked, "There is one last braised egg. Does the prince want to eat it?"

The prince was stunned and shook his head: "Mother, please use it."

Xining directly pinched the braised eggs with his fingers and turned his head and ordered: "Get another plate of sauced pig's trotters. You don't need to chop the pig's trotters too finely. Just chop each one into four pieces and bring them."

Watching the queen eating, the prince suddenly felt that no matter whether the queen was really stupid or big-hearted, she was still a real foodie just because of her calmness, her desire to eat, and her courage.

After eating the braised eggs, Xining washed his hands in the basin held by the maid next to him. He looked at the prince who was still sitting next to him and said, "What plans does the prince have for me?"

The prince answered quickly and seemed to have thought about it for a long time: "The queen is as kind as a mountain to her sons and ministers. I don't know what the queen's plans are."

Even the servants dared to bully him. On fasting days, she came to support him, severely punished the servants and established his authority.

When she was sent to the prison, she went to the prison again and delivered meals, so that the guards in the sky prison did not dare to look down upon them, provided them with comprehensive supplies, and treated them with courtesy.

Before being forced into the palace, she asked her to protect the female family members of the prince's palace. Not only did she agree, but she also said that she would take them to her side and not let anyone touch them in the slightest.

This kindness really needs to be repaid.

At this time, the pig's feet arrived. They were burnt red in sauce and the skin was sticky and oily. You could tell at a glance that they were very delicious.

Xining looked at it, smiled, grabbed a piece with his hand, took a bite, and immediately his eyebrows stretched out: "Hmm~, it's delicious. Prince, you can eat it too."

The prince really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't look like a queen.

Being considered a sweetheart, the prince thought for a moment, washed his hands, and grabbed a piece. He nodded after taking a bite, it was really good. He usually couldn't taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he didn't expect that pig's feet could be so delicious.

So there were two of us, one piece for you and one piece for me to eat with our hands.

Xining ate two pieces in a row, and when he picked up the third piece, he said while eating: "I took Lin'er back to Datang. There are land, fields, houses and shops there, which is enough for us and my mother to live on. My father Wang Chong

He is the prime minister, the eldest brother-in-law, and the second brother-in-law hold military power, and no one will bully him after he returns. As for Lin'er, after the prince gives him a title, he will be an idle county prince in the Tang Dynasty. For the prince, he will spread branches and leaves for your father.

.”

The prince is a smart man, how can he not understand? The queen's backstage is very strong. If it is not good for her, Wang Chong will take advantage of it to raise troops. Not to mention that Xiliang is still in elementary school and is in the turbulent period of changing kings. Even if

Without these, they would not be able to defeat the Tang army.

But if you let him go, you might as well let the tiger go back to the mountain. When the time comes, Wang Chong, under the banner of King Qinxiliang, will lead his troops over, fight all the way to the royal hall, kill him, and support the queen's son Xue Tianrui to ascend the throne. Isn't his hard work in vain?

I heard the queen say: "There is one more thing I have to say."

The prince immediately came to his senses and said, "Mother, please speak."

With soy sauce still hanging from the corner of his mouth, Xi Ning said with a smile: "The Tian family is ruthless, but when the prince ascends to Dabao in the future, he must not commit a crime against heaven."

The prince paused in his heart. The greatest crimes against heaven were regicide, mother-killing, and father-killing.

Xining had lost her appetite at this time, so she waved her hand, and the palace maid holding a basin next to her hurriedly stepped forward. She washed her hands, wiped her face, and leaned back on the chair contentedly, looking like she had eaten and drank enough.

Comfortable.

Youyou said: "Your father and your mother are very affectionate. Because of the busy state affairs, I have been unable to observe filial piety for your mother. Now that I am considering giving up the throne to you, let him go to the royal mausoleum to spend his old age."

Guarding the imperial mausoleum may seem like an honor, but in fact it is almost like being under house arrest and exile. There are several isolated houses built around the imperial mausoleum, which are specially used to house the people who guard the imperial mausoleum. There is no village in front of it, no store in the back, and ordinary people cannot get close to it.

, no one else can be seen within a five-mile radius.

The prince thought for a while, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and bowed to Xi Ning: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. Please rest peacefully. I will take my leave."

Xining smiled: "Wipe your face before you leave. You are about to become the emperor, so you have to pay attention to everything. If you want to eat soy pig feet or something else, just come over."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The prince washed his hands and wiped his face and left.

After walking out of Zhaoyangyuan, I got on the chariot. When I was lifted up, I looked back.

The Queen is really indifferent to fame and fortune. The 18 years in the cold kiln made her see through everything. She does not seek glory and wealth, but only seeks stability and food and clothing. She is just like a beggar consort. After the days that are more miserable than Huang Lian, she will not be able to do anything.

Keep it in mind.

Thinking of this, my head hurts a little. Princess Ronghua has added another face-shou. There are more faces-shou in the mansion than the maids of the first wife in his mansion. Do you want to be the second princess of Taiping? Everything she has done has a great influence on her.

The prince-in-law is not harmed at all. The prince-in-law only cares about his own life and is living happily. The princess will only lose the face of the Tian family if she has a good reputation.

Three days later, Duke Zhao Guo, who had been released from the prison, together with Prime Minister Zhou and Duke Ling, jointly issued the decree "on behalf of" the emperor. Princess Dai Zan was buried in the sky, and the emperor remembered her all day long. Now he gave up the throne to the prince Xue Tianxiang and retired.

The imperial mausoleum is used to support one's old age.

All the officials knew very well that after all, Xue Pinggui was just a foreigner, while Xue Tianxiang was the legitimate descendant of the previous king. And they were secretly happy that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace would be full, and wouldn't his daughter have another chance by then?

Five days later, the prince ascended the throne according to the auspicious time calculated by the Taishi Bureau.

After ascending the throne, the prince ordered the renovation of the imperial mausoleum. He named Xue Pinggui as the emperor, the queen as the empress dowager, the two concubines as concubines, and the other concubines were promoted to concubines. The emperor moved to the imperial mausoleum ten days later, and the other concubines were

All concubines who have not given birth can go together. If there are any heirs, they can go, or they can stay in the palace according to the ancestral system. If they give birth to a son, they can return to the fief with the son when he reaches adulthood.

At this time, Xue Pinggui saw clearly the faces of these concubines. Previously, all of them were loyal and would rather die without him, but now they all said that they would stay in the palace and raise children. Only one of them was willing to go with her, but she was also arrested.

After some advice from my family, I gave up the idea.

The Empress Dowager will first go back to Tang to visit relatives, and after returning, she will go to Shoukang Palace to take care of her old age.

Why can the Empress Dowager live in the palace? Some people questioned in the court, husband and wife are one body, why doesn't the Empress Dowager accompany the Supreme Emperor?

The newly enthroned emperor answered directly that the reason was very simple. The empress dowager had been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years. She was weak and frail and could not easily move at will.

The maids looked at the empress dowager who was grabbing the braised chicken and chewing the delicious pork knuckles. Where was her body weak and where was she weak? If she was really that weak, why did she return to the Tang Dynasty?

Two days before Xue Pinggui was about to be sent out of the palace to go to the imperial mausoleum, Xining left for his hometown.
