Qi Yu's recent life can be described as a world of ice and fire.
Ahem!
Please don’t misunderstand, the ice and fire here are metaphors for people’s state of mind.
From a personal emotional point of view, Qi Yu and his concubine reunited after a long absence, and then tasted the joy of the boudoir for the first time. They were 100% honeymoon-level inseparable.
If it weren't for Qi Xiao, a 'getting in the way' of the troublemaker, I would have probably already verified Qi Dalang's natural philosophy of 'a day is a day, a day is a day'.
This feeling of being intimate with each other, what is it if it’s not ‘fire’?
However, in terms of national justice, Qi Yu faces tremendous pressure.
One is the various shocks that may arise after the emperor's death; the other is the various uncertainties in the political arena of the queen.
These two factors were superimposed on each other, which made Mr. Qi feel restless and restless, and his mood dropped to freezing point.
No coincidence!
The queen's mood at this time was also very similar to this alternation of ice and fire.
Let’s describe them one by one.
What excites her is that her son has finally been established as the Prince of the East Palace, and it is only a matter of time before he ascends the imperial throne.
If nothing else happens, it should be possible before the end of the year.
Because she had found out from the "reward" given by a certain imperial doctor that the emperor's health was deteriorating, and even if he overestimated it, he would not be able to survive this small year.
This day is not far away.
In fact, the canonization of the crown prince also gave the nervous Su Liu a reassurance.
In the past, she was always worried that the emperor would settle accounts with her queen after his return, but now it seems that this is unlikely.
This is not nonsense, but has some basis.
As for the concubines in the imperial palace, the mother is as valuable as the son. It can be said that as long as the prince under her knees succeeds, the mother can rest assured to live a long life.
Even if the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the concubine, he would turn a blind eye for the sake of his son.
The mother of the prince, let alone her.
The face is quite big.
In reality, there are indeed not many options for the emperor, and there is no way to give it a try.
If you touch the crown prince's mother, it will definitely arouse the criticism of the whole world, so you should not act rashly!
It can be seen from this that the queen is basically safe now.
However, in this rare moment of peace, a piece of bad news suddenly came through, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. According to the news, someone suddenly brought up the past and publicly talked about the broom star crossing the border three years ago.
thing.
The article made it clear and explicit that that scene was God’s warning in advance that there would be chaos in the harem.
In addition to the above, the article also gave the most severe attack on Qi Yu's astronomical theories at that time, angrily accusing him of believing in monstrous words to deceive the public, talking nonsense, and causing the world to misunderstand the secrets of heaven.
If this matter were normal, there would definitely not be many people paying attention. After all, Master Qi's prestige is so great that no one can challenge it.
However, as the theory of Si Chen, a female chicken, spread widely, the readability of this article has become very high.
Obviously, the predictions of the past have become a reality, and in the face of the facts, it is hard to believe.
This is the so-called fact that speaks louder than words.
Even if Mr. Qi helps wash the floor, he cannot leave it alone. What should be refuted cannot be vague at all.
What makes Su Liu even more disgusted is that this article always talks about God's will, directly standing on the commanding heights of morality, and suppressing himself to the point of being unable to argue.
In the face of God's will, no one can make mistakes, and the royal family is no exception.
One can imagine how furious Su Liu was.
So the question is, who wrote this article?
Wang Zhifan analyzed it for a while and said: "Could it be written by Master Yin Jun? After all, he has a high status and is outspoken. He likes to do things that offend others."
The queen shook her head and said, "Probably not! With his gentlemanly style, most people would choose to speak frankly and go straight to Sheng Cong. It is unlikely that he would engage in such a slutty behavior. Besides, Qi Yu is his brother-in-law, and he
How is it possible to turn your elbows outward to attack?"
"Then...could it be other Jiuqing, or those talented people in the Hanlin Academy?"
"The newly appointed Jiu Qing hasn't even sat down yet, so how can he think about making trouble? And the old officials are even less likely. They are all assessing the situation now and rarely issue real advice. As for the Hanlin Academy,
Although those rotten scholars are talented, they lack courage. Even if I borrow some of their courage, they would not dare to offend me..."
After many calculations, the queen was still unable to figure out which force was responsible for this.
no!
This matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, you will fall into passivity, and your just-established footing will also be shaken.
Wang Zhifan received the order and left in a hurry.
Emperor Sheng was also very confused by the mention of this old incident.
He had no choice but to focus on the task at hand and analyze it accordingly.
What?
"Refuting Qi Shaobao's past sophistry"?
Who is so bold as to criticize Qi Aiqing who is helping the world?
However, from the overall perspective, it does not matter who wrote it. What is important is to understand the consequences derived from this move.
"The master's harem is in chaos?"
"Alas... God will not deceive me!"
After sighing with emotion, the emperor began to calm down and analyze it in detail.
In his opinion, disputes in the temple are not terrible and can be eliminated with some simple means. However, the situation in the public is different.
Once large-scale rumors are formed, it is very likely to trigger a change in people's minds.
At that time, after his own death, a certain vassal king took advantage of the situation and shouted out, and came up with a reason to cheat the emperor. Wouldn't his foolish son's country be unstable?
If you look at it this way, you should really punish the queen severely to silence the public.
However, this is definitely not a good idea!
Because, apart from Su Liu, the emperor really could not find anyone who was both trustworthy and capable of protecting the prince.
Lords?
Unbelievable!
Ministers?
It may be believable, but they are outsiders after all!
After such elimination, only Su Liu was left to choose.
You know, she is very good at politics, and it is for this reason that she is worthy of trust and trust.
Yes, even my wise self has fallen under her spell, let alone others who are mediocre?
Therefore, this bitch must not be killed.
In addition to the idea of protecting the prince, the emperor also had another layer of concerns, but it was not convenient to express them clearly.
What if, after breaking up with that woman, she reveals to the world the murder of the Empress Dowager in revenge, wouldn't that be self-defeating?
I have lived a wise life, so I can't afford to be accused of being unfilial again before the time comes, right?
It's okay to have a bad reputation, but if after he returns to the west, the vassal kings launch a military expedition on the grounds of Yuan Yun's misconduct during his lifetime, wouldn't it be worse than the Qing emperor?
After weighing the situation, the emperor decided to continue to endure it.
He and the queen still maintain the same harmonious relationship as before, and they do not interfere with each other.
For the sake of the Li family, the emperor endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens. In terms of his magnanimity alone, he was definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
