Chapter 276: The Woman in the Deep Palace
"... Jinglu Guard rebelled, so are there any possibility of rebellion in other guards?"
"Mr. Qin in Jiangnan is so active..."
"There is no peace in Liaodong..."
In the Ganqing Palace, Wang Chengen bowed and stood, Empress Dowager Zhou murmured to himself, her eyebrows frowned, and a deep sadness was also clearly visible.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen hesitated for a while before saying, "Since Duke Qin dared to do this, he should have been prepared."
"At this time, Duke Qin should have entered the palace. If the Empress has any doubts, why not ask Duke Qin in person?"
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the little emperor who was sitting upright at the table, holding a brush and writing. She hesitated for a while, but nodded.
Seeing this, Wang Chengen bowed and left the hall.
Empress Dowager Zhou stood there for a while, and the sorrow between her eyebrows was difficult to dissipate.
Although she also knew the backlash of reform, her vision completely limited her cognition.
Just the beginning, the entire Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil and the country was about to fall.
She really couldn't imagine how terrifying things would happen next.
As for those terror, she had no power to deal with it. She could only wait passively and wait for it to come and could not do anything.
In a vague way, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She seemed not to have responded so easily, and should delay it or dissuade her.
But after thinking about it, even if she doesn't respond, it may not affect the occurrence of this matter.
She naturally knew the ambitions of the late emperor.
And with the style of Qin Duke's conduct, he would never do anything...
Can……
The current situation...
"Mom, what are you thinking?"
The little emperor walked to Empress Dowager Zhou at some point and looked up and asked.
"No...nothing..."
Empress Dowager Zhou looked down at the little emperor: "Have you finished practicing Chun Ge'er's calligraphy?"
"Haughtiness will not be achieved. I will take a break. Uncle Li said, "Don't be too hasty in everything."
Listening to the little emperor's proper answer, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but feel a hint of care in her eyes.
No one who is promising her mother doesn’t want her children to be happy, let alone when she was a child.
But her children are not qualified to be happy, nor are they qualified to be carefree.
The three-year-old child is still playing with mud on the ground in her hometown. Now, her child is the king of a country and the supreme emperor.
Then you must learn to recognize words, learn etiquette, learn how to be the emperor, and learn to understand many principles that are difficult for adults to understand...
Carrying so much joy, the child has completely lost her fate from the beginning.
"Then Brother Chun, let's have a good rest. Your Uncle Li will probably come over later. Then I will go with your Uncle Li..."
"good!"
The little emperor nodded and trotted towards the side hall, and several eunuchs hurriedly followed.
At this moment, outside the Ganqing Palace, Li Xiu had stopped outside the hall at some point, and beside him was Wang Chengen who followed him step by step.
"What's wrong with the Empress calling me to come?"
Looking at the solemn Ganqing Palace in front of him, Li Xiu looked a little dazed and asked casually.
"The Empress is a little worried..."
Halfway through, Wang Chengen didn't say much.
Hearing this, Li Xiu frowned. He had no intention of usurping power and seizing the throne. Naturally, he did not restrict anything to the Empress Dowager.
Of course, in the current situation, he could not help but restrict the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, he would only shoot himself in the foot, making the government unstable, and give people with ulterior motives an excuse for openness.
In this way, if he wants to stand firm, he cannot do without the strong support of the empress dowager.
This is why he repeatedly appeased the empress dowager, and even took some time every day to enter the palace to teach the emperor despite his busy government affairs.
Nowadays, no matter how turbulent the world is, it is mostly under control. If you really transcend control, it is just a matter of smashing the plate.
But if the harem is unstable, or if the empress dowager's mind is unstable, it will be a little troublesome.
"Long hair, short knowledge..."
Suddenly, this sentence came to Li Xiu's mind.
Fortunately, until now, the empress dowager has not done anything out of the ordinary, so she would not worry too much.
Li Xiu didn't ask Wang Chengen where the empress dowager got the news. Without restrictions, the empress dowager would be hopelessly stupid if he couldn't even see the external situation clearly.
While thinking, Li Xiu took a step and slowly walked into the Ganqing Palace.
The hall was empty, and only Empress Dowager Zhou stood alone in front of the table, as if she was watching something.
Soon, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Li Xiu who was walking into the hall. At this moment, the worries between Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows seemed to have dissipated a little.
"Mess, please see the Queen Mother."
As always, Li Xiu bowed to the Empress Dowager.
Similarly, Empress Zhou was also exempted from courtesy as always.
"Ai's family heard that the rebellion of the bandits in Jingluwei in Shaanxi led to the failure of the battle to combat the bandits..."
Hearing this, Li Xiu subconsciously looked at Empress Dowager Zhou who was making a sound. When he saw the worry between Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows, he felt relieved that he had slightly raised his heart.
As long as it is not this empress dowager, she has any thoughts she shouldn't have, it's okay.
Li Xiu pondered for a moment, then bowed and slowly spoke, while comforting the empress dowager in front of him little by little.
Obviously, after knowing the external situation, this Empress Dowager Zhou must have been worried about her and even frightened.
If the Empress Dowager cannot comfort or even remove the worry and fear of the Empress Dowager, no one knows what stupid things would be done by a woman who was scared and nervous, and who was the Empress Dowager's master.
By then, it would be too late.
After listening to Li Xiu's analysis and further understanding the evolution of the situation, the worries between Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows finally dissipated a little.
Looking at Li Xiu, who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, Empress Dowager Zhou's mood was as complicated as ever.
Everything was clearly told her that she wanted to believe that even by relying on the assistant minister in front of her, she was also the only assistant minister.
In fact, she could only choose to believe and rely on it.
But as a mother, she could never completely let go.
Her worries seemed to be worried about the national situation, but it seemed that more of them were the worries that were always difficult to dissipate... and fear...
Li Xiu didn't say anything more, and after bowing, he left.
Of course, he has not yet understood what happened in the palace.
As a teacher and a teacher of the emperor, he still has the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The emperor was still young, and everything was a golden age for shaping and indoctrination.
He is not at ease to hand it over to others, nor can he give it to others.
