Zuo Mingrui waved his hand, and someone asked Liu Xiang and Gu Zhao to step aside first.
Liu Xiang was confused and shouted loudly, but the man knocked him unconscious and dragged him off.
Seeing this, Gu Zhao had no choice but to retreat with a few guards. He had managed to cultivate his cronies and bribed many guards. As a result, in such a situation, he was still vulnerable to Yue Shaochen.
Zuo Mingrui saw that they had all left, but Su Mo came forward instead. He glanced at her, and she walked aside and poured a cup of tea for the emperor to drink.
Although the emperor tried to keep calm, his teeth still gently touched the edge of the tea cup, making a small sound.
After he finished drinking the tea, Zuo Mingrui said: "Your Majesty, I was not even a county magistrate before receiving the emperor's favor. Your Majesty still remembers the sixth year of Zhaoping."
The emperor suddenly felt as if his heart was being grasped so hard that he almost stopped breathing. How could he not remember that in the sixth year of Zhaoping, it was a turning point in his happy marriage. At that time, he was still the emperor's husband, and that was also
It was the year when he really had the idea of becoming emperor.
Back then, he had a fierce quarrel with the empress over the Yang family's treason case. In the end, he won at a painful price and wiped out the entire Yang family.
This matter was later buried in dust, and no one dared to mention it again, especially after he became emperor, there were almost no officials named Yang in the court.
His chest felt painful and tight, "What are you going to say!"
Zuo Mingrui said slowly: "Your Majesty, my father and the Yang family were good friends when they were young. Later, when the Yang family became an official, my father was still living in the countryside. In order not to forget the old friendship between the two, the Yang family gave me to him since he was a child.
Zuo family, so I spent more time in the Zuo family since I was a child, and others did not know about my relationship with the Yang family. In the sixth year of Zhaoping, I happened to go to Beijing to visit relatives in the Yang family, and encountered such an accident. Fortunately, with the blessing of the empress,
I was able to escape death and return to the Zuo family. I originally wanted to live quietly in peace, but then news came about that the Empress was enthroned..."
He paused. Even without saying anything, the emperor understood that he must be grateful to the empress, so he got close to her everywhere after becoming an official. Just for today?
"Is this the secret edict the Queen left for you before she died?" The emperor's hands were clenched in the sleeves of his robe, and his voice was as dry as a sugarcane that had been twisted without any moisture.
Zuo Mingrui shook his head, "I have never had any communication with the late empress, but I am willing to do everything for the late empress and her prince."
