Emperor Hongdao's face glowed red and he looked very energetic. At this time, he was holding the queen's hand and looking at the map of the country and the country.
"After tonight, I will pass on the throne as Jian'er. At that time, I will be the Supreme Emperor, and I can enjoy peace and happiness in Penglai Immortal Island. By the way, when will that boy Chen Biao enter the palace?"
The queen shook her head: "I used to complain about illness, but this time there was no sound at all. It was spread outside..."
Emperor Hongdao said with a cold face: "What are you preaching?"
The Queen frowned and said nothing. It wasn't that she didn't dare to speak, but she was just waiting for the Holy One to ask more questions, or for the Holy One to say it himself.
Emperor Hongdao's face turned very cold for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The Queen saw that look and knew that the Holy Emperor had murderous intentions.
It's yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it. If it's not yours, no matter who you want it, you'll lose your head. There is no family affection in the royal family, not even the parents of sons.
"Feng Tianyang..."
Emperor Hongdao's voice was not loud and full of energy, but the emperor's prestige was still there, and he could even snort coldly, which would make people's skin crawl.
Feng Tianyang knelt on one knee and buried his head deeply...
Emperor Hongdao patted Feng Tianyang on the shoulder and asked him to raise his head: "Your sword is fast enough."
Feng Tianyang said hurriedly: "Tianyang has always been the fastest sword in the hands of the Holy Master."
Emperor Hongdao nodded with satisfaction: "Whoever I ask you to capture, you will let his head fall to the ground without any hesitation."
Feng Tianyang retreated, and the queen supported Emperor Hongdao and said, "Why bother?"
Emperor Hongdao shook his head and said: "I gave him countless opportunities, but he didn't come to see me. If he came, he would be able to live, but he didn't come."
The queen wanted King Qi to die very much, and it was best to die now, but she could not say it or show it, and she had to continue to comfort him.
"A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so let him live."
Emperor Hongdao turned his head and smiled: "It's better for me to be this evil person. I can't let my son bear the bad name."
Emperor Hongdao was very clear-headed today, so clear-headed that the Queen felt very uneasy.
"Come out with me to get some fresh air and see if the palace is still lively."
The queen hurriedly put on Emperor Hongdao's fox fur and said, "It's going to snow. Let's go to Linde Hall after taking a look."
It was getting late, and Peng Gengqie stood on the tower of Chengtian Gate wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand.
The old man looked at the heavy crossbows on the city wall. His originally gray beard was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and with the sadness in his heart, he looked like a hero who was dying...
"The Holy One has arrived."
The sharp voice made Peng Gengqie feel uncomfortable.
The old general turned around and looked at Emperor Hongdao who had arrived at the top of the city, but he was too lazy to do the proper etiquette.
Emperor Hongdao didn't mind either. With the support of the queen, he came down to Peng Gengqie's side, looked at Daxing City full of colorful lights and smiled.
"I feel bad for letting Gengqie blow the cold wind here during the Chinese New Year."
Peng Geng did not like what the current emperor was doing, especially the vacillation between the two princes, which made the future of the Great Qian Dynasty even gloomier.
Those who play with fire will burn themselves, those who fail to be virtuous will kill themselves, and those who practice the law will perish.
Peng Gengqie felt better without seeing the old emperor. Now that he saw him, not to mention the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, he couldn't wait to curse him.
"Stand the last post. I am worthy of the Holy Spirit and worthy of the great officials, but I am worthy of the common people."
The queen smiled hurriedly and said: "The old general has a great reputation for a lifetime..."
Peng Gengqie snorted coldly and interrupted the queen's words.
"What a wise man. If you raise your sword tonight, do you know how many more orphans and widows there will be in Daxing City, and how many people will have gray hair and black hair?"
Emperor Hongdao sighed: "It's not the old general who can't help the people, it's me."
"I have sent someone to call Chen Biao, as long as..."
Emperor Hongdao did not continue to speak, but Peng Gengqie also knew what was behind him. Seeing him, he shook his head and said: "The God of War is still here, he will come, and the only ones who come now are..."
Peng Gengqie kept his mouth shut. He was not afraid of Emperor Hongdao's anger, but he was afraid of seeing his sons stained with blood in the city.
The sun sets over the west mountain, and the wind blows and the snow falls.
A carriage stopped at Yanxi Gate in the Imperial City. Two people got off the carriage and saw the little eunuch who had been waiting for a long time at the head of the city. He shouted with a drake voice, shivering from the cold.
"But - but Mr. Li."
Seeing Qingshan nodded under the city, the little eunuch hurriedly said: "Hurry, open the city gate quickly."
Li Taiping took Mu Pinshan's hand and followed the little eunuch holding the lamp to guide the way into the imperial city.
The Jinwu guards on both sides of the Yanxi Gate suddenly knelt down in unison, which startled the little eunuch who was leading the way.
A lieutenant colonel wearing a helmet and carrying armor came to Li Taiping and performed a military salute.
"My subordinate Cao Manjin has met the general."
Li Taiping patted Cao Manjin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do a good job. If you need anything, just say something. Don't let your brothers down."
Cao Manjin blushed and said, "Sister-in-law Jinhua, we sent New Year's goods to our brothers' families years ago. We won't be able to afford them this year."
As he spoke, Cao Manjin whispered in his ear: "There is something wrong with the atmosphere. General, please be more careful."
Li Taiping nodded and whispered: "Take good care of your brothers..."
The little eunuch turned around with a cry in his voice and said, "Sir, let's keep the story short. Your Majesty is still waiting in the Linde Hall."
Li Taiping smiled and did not make things difficult for the young eunuch.
"Please, father-in-law, lead the way."
It was very festive to have the Linde Hall decorated with lanterns and colors, but this time it was different from the last time, there were no civil and military officials, only royal people.
Emperor Hongdao had many women, and they were very lively. With so many women, Emperor Hongdao had a very strong body when he was young. It stands to reason that he should have a family full of children and grandchildren, and at the worst he would have ten or eight sons.
It is a pity that God gave Emperor Hongdao enough sexual courage and the ability to fight on the bed, but he was stingy and did not give him the blessing of thousands of sons and grandsons.
Emperor Hongdao sat high on the jade platform and just chatted with the queen. He regarded the beauties in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard as nothing. He didn't even bother to take another look.
As for the princes sitting in the front row, Emperor Hongdao actually chatted a few more words. Especially Prince Jin, whom he had not seen for a year and a half. The old emperor even stood up and grabbed Prince Jin's hand and refused to let go.
open.
"My father knows Zhi'er's abilities best, and he also understands Zhi'er's thoughts. Therefore, my father has never asked Zhi'er to do anything he doesn't like."
"Now my father wants to ask for a favor. In the future, you must use your ability to help your brothers and govern this country well..."
Emperor Hongdao let go of King Jin's hand because his youngest son ran over.
Chen Cong was born by Han Cairen. Han Cairen had no foundation and was just selected in a beauty pageant. However, this woman was very lucky and unfortunate at the same time.
Emperor Hongdao was lucky, and Han Cairen became pregnant and gave birth to a son for the old emperor. This was so lucky that all the women in the harem were going crazy with jealousy.
Han Cairen was the most unfortunate of all the beauties in the harem. The child passed away due to frailty and illness just after being a hundred days old.
Chen Cong is only eight years old this year and was raised by the Queen. The child is smart and has a sweet mouth. He has become the Queen's delight over the years.
Now Chen Cong ran over and was pulled into the queen's arms. However, Chen Cong broke away from the queen's arms and knelt down to kowtow in a dignified manner.
"I wish my father, the emperor, and my empress a long life and a life as long as the Nanshan Mountains..."
Emperor Hongdao laughed and pulled Chen Cong up and asked him to sit on the highest chair between him and the queen.
"Your Majesty, don't spoil Cong'er, let him..."
Emperor Hongdao smiled and said: "No problem. Little child, sit down."
It is not easy to reunite a family. Some people are happy, some are jealous, and some are afraid.
Concubine Shu, the birth mother of King Qi, felt very uncomfortable when she saw the Holy Emperor getting close to someone else's son. She was both scared and excited because she knew that after tonight, her son would be the most noble person in the world. However, I'm afraid she couldn't see all this.
arrive.
She did not blame her son for not taking her out of the palace because she refused to leave the palace when she could.
In order for her son to achieve great things, she is willing to give up everything, including freedom and life. This is the consciousness of a mother. She has been fighting with the queen all her life, and she is finally going to win against the queen once, and it is the most critical time.
Laugh, laugh, let's see how long you can laugh. Concubine Shu looked smiling on the surface, but her hands under the case were holding the hem of her clothes and turning a little white.
The other two concubines beside Concubine Shu deliberately sat a little far away, lest people misunderstand that their sisters had a good relationship. They even entered the Linde Hall and did not say a word.
It's no wonder that the concubines in the harem are hiding from Concubine Shu, because they are really afraid of getting angry and getting burned. They don't know what King Qi wants to do, but they know that the Holy Emperor does not like King Qi now.
The feud between father and son has now been brought to light. Just seeing how King Qi refused to enter the palace during the Chinese New Year, you can know how far father and son have come.
When the prince reaches adulthood, he has to move out of the palace, be granted the title of king, open a mansion, and build a government office. He cannot enter the palace without the Holy Emperor's nod. But the Chinese New Year does not mean enfeoffing other places, so there is no reason not to enter the palace to pay greetings to the Holy Emperor and the Queen.
The smart women in the harem had already realized that the throne was no longer related to King Qi. So fawning over the prince became what they had to do now.
However, there are always differences between people, and Concubine De is a special case. After she greeted the Holy Emperor and the Queen, she sat there quietly, with a smile on her face all the time.
Concubine De did not fight or rob her, and her gentle and virtuous temperament made her very popular in the harem. Although she had no children, she was quite popular with Emperor Hongdao and the Queen.
To be able to please the Holy Emperor and the Queen at the same time, it is obvious that Concubine De has great wisdom. Concubine De, who had not spoken much, suddenly stood up and waved to Chen Cong.
"Cong'er, come to Auntie. Auntie has your favorite candied fruit here."
Concubine De's actions not only made the queen and the prince happy, but even Emperor Hongdao smiled and nodded.
The prince stood up, picked up the candied fruits on the case, walked to Concubine De and said with a smile: "Cong'er is greedy, what if he ate the candied fruits on Concubine Guang De's plate? Come and eat the plate from the emperor brother."
Chen Cong hurriedly saluted and took it with both hands: "Cong'er thanked eldest brother."
Concubine De stood up unhurriedly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The eldest son is also the prince. Except for Emperor Hongdao and the Queen, no one is more noble than him. Even the emperor's concubine must be respectful in front of the prince.
Concubine De was neither humble nor overbearing, and was polite and courteous, which greatly satisfied Emperor Hongdao... This chapter has been completed!
