"If you are a queen, and you don't have freedom within the palace, what kind of queen is she? Not even a concubine, right?"
The queen looked melancholy, stroking her military talisman, and was speechless for a long time.
Concubine Wu saw it and felt anxious.
If she couldn't implement it in one day, her heart would not be able to settle down, but she couldn't rush it.
"I let my sister see the joke, and I just remembered the past."
After coming back to her senses, the queen smiled warmly and turned around to tell Zhaoxia.
"Bring me my seal, and I will write my decree with my own hand."
"Yes."
"Don't worry, since I have agreed, I will use the seal to issue the decree."
Zhaoxia took the order and retreated. Soon she came over with a brocade box and carefully placed it on the table.
When you open it, you will find a jade seal. The jade is white and crystal clear, without any variegation. The back is carved with a simple and lively chi tiger button. It is powerful but reveals a soft and elegant atmosphere. The four walls are carved with cloud patterns.
The queen paused for a moment, then looked at their mother and daughter, and sighed as a reminder.
"Xinping, do you really have no regrets? This is easy to write, but once it is done, it is difficult to undo it."
"Mother, I have no regrets."
"The beautiful girl Zhou Yi has a clean family background, is well-educated and well-educated, and is deeply loved by this palace. She was specially selected to be admitted to the Taisun's Mansion as a side concubine."
When writing this, the queen felt difficult to calm down, but she finally finished it in one stroke.
After thinking about it, I added another stroke.
"You should accept your kindness early and spread the branches and leaves to comfort my heart."
After putting the pen down, blow dry the ink carefully.
"Let's see."
The queen stepped aside, and Xinping couldn't wait to step forward. He looked at her again and again, staring intently until he let out a thin whimper.
Even Concubine Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Now she is a side concubine, and she will undoubtedly be the fourth concubine in the future.
It is obvious that after offering the talisman, he was immediately elevated to the queen.
"Alas."
"This imperial edict will be sent to the Zhou Mansion on a certain date... You must pay attention to it and agree in advance so that you don't miss it."
Su Ziji knows the meaning of Xinping, and the Queen knows it, but it is indeed the Queen who makes the decision today.
"There is only one concubine in Taisun's house, which is not conducive to heirs. If you want to inherit the throne, you must have more concubines to multiply heirs. This is also basic."
"Don't blame me, don't regret it...Emperors, even queens, have such a last resort."
"You should learn to get used to it."
The queen now felt a touch of melancholy, but she could not express it to outsiders.
Let’s just forget about Xinping.
It's just a reward, it's nothing to compensate for the pain of missing her.
Concubine Wu was shrewd throughout her life, but she spoiled an innocent and romantic princess. Thinking about it, she knew that she would risk everything tonight.
At present, the Changle Palace Guards can be adjusted at any time.
"Cruel person, you have all your tricks, you are cunning, you are unkind, and you are heartless and unjust...that is why you are in this difficult situation tonight."
"Otherwise, how can I return to control the palace guard?"
"It's God's will."
Of course the queen knew that with the emperor's presence, she could withdraw her command talisman at any time. However, at least some people should be mobilized, and as long as the emperor did not have this opportunity, or the power could be withdrawn.
Hearing the roaring sound, the queen waved her sleeves. Needless to say, Concubine Wu pulled Xinping and stood sideways. She saw that the queen didn't even look at it, and said solemnly: "Come here, send a message (Zhao Bingzhong), just say, everything is fine."
It’s all done!”
"Your Majesty, take the edict!" Someone responded immediately, and the atmosphere was solemn, as if thousands of people were gathered together in one thought.
Xinping has grown up in this palace, but suddenly he feels that everything is very strange.
Beijing
The neighborhood was very quiet, there were many fires in the city, and the sound of killings came from time to time. Heavy rain fell from the clouds, and the water was deep enough to cover half of the wheel. The ox cart trudged through it, Mou Mou groaned loudly, and tried hard to step on his hooves, but he kept slipping. p>
In the dimness, the road is completely dark.
"Hurry, hurry over!"
"Master, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that there are interceptions everywhere, and every level must be strictly investigated!"
There are soldiers standing at important street entrances, checking pedestrians. This bullock cart, even if the token is displayed, still takes a long time to complete each level.
Even if the attack is not possible, the examination would take time.
"Fortunately, it was blocked partly by the imperial court and partly by my own soldiers, but I was able to intercept it!"
Only a few red lanterns were blown by the wind and swaying unsteadily at the door number of the hotel corridor not far away, casting a ruddy light and revealing the gloomy rain curtain.
Wearing a bamboo hat, a raincoat, and a buttery paper umbrella in his hand, Xie Hongdao looked solemn and waited quietly below the hotel.
The rainwater spreads over, sometimes hitting the body. The skirt of the clothes is already half wet, and the coldness condenses and gradually penetrates into the texture.
The sound of wind and rain in his ears, the faint sound of thunder, mixed with the croaking of cows, made him unable to help but think about the distance.
I don’t know, is everything going well?
It won't help much in big things, but as long as you block the person in front of you, it will be somewhat beneficial.
When the bullock cart finally passed by, he roared loudly and shouted: "Where are you going, Mr. Prime Minister?"
This cry was so penetrating that it temporarily overwhelmed the sound of the wind and rain.
The bullock cart suddenly stopped.
On the eaves, dozens of tiny waterfalls hang down from the tiles, washing before your eyes.
Xie Hongdao waited patiently.
Then he watched the car curtain lift, and an old man with white hair and beard looked here with a frown.
"It turns out to be you, Xie Jiazi." Zhao Xu was puzzled at first, but suddenly thought of something, and gradually changed his mind: "It turned out to be you."
Xie Hongdao bowed deeply and spoke sincerely.
"As smart as a prime minister, I can't hide it from you!"
"Prime Minister, this is really not a suitable place for discussion. Please go upstairs. I've prepared some wine downstairs."
"No need, I..."
"All you ministers, please wait inside."
Xie Hongdao knew that he would refuse, so he threw out this sentence.
Zhao Xu was stunned, looked at him deeply, and then looked upstairs. The small window was open, but there were several familiar figures, nodding slightly at him.
"You took me and tricked them upstairs?" Zhao Xuhe and others understood immediately.
This is indeed the case. Something big happened in the capital. Zhao Xu wanted to enter the palace. The same was true for other cabinet ministers. Anyone who went out would be intercepted by someone.
Several of them were summoned by the name of Zhao Xu, and they set up obstacles along the way to slow down Zhao Xu's progress, so they gathered here.
Xie Hongdao did not defend himself, but only bowed deeply again.
"For the sake of the great Zheng State, I have no choice but to take this expedient measure. I hope that all of you will be considerate to me if I offend you."
"Haihan?"
This young man dared to deceive even the cabinet ministers. He was so bold...but he was also really confident.
For the sake of society?
Who is Sheji?
The prime minister was worried, had some conjectures, and was a little heavy.
"Lead the way."
I have the intention not to go, but I can’t. Let’s see what he says.
Xie Hongdao diligently held an umbrella to protect the prime minister when he entered. Many people were already waiting here.
As soon as you see it, there are dozens of soldiers, draped in armor, guarding everywhere, and they are heavily guarded.
"Prime Minister Zhao."
Seeing Xie Hongdao helping the old man in, he gave a military salute to the white-haired team leader: "Sun Ping, the villain, pays homage to the great scholar."
Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed and he recognized...this was the former East Palace guard.
Sure enough, the grandson was involved!
For a moment, I suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, and my heart sank slightly, feeling a little sad.
