Chapter 428 The Empress Dowager Returns to the Palace
The prince waited in Ci'an Palace until it was time to light the lanterns, and then the Queen Mother's palanquin was carried to the entrance of the palace surrounded by people.
The Queen Mother had already put on light spring clothes, and because the night was cooler, she also added a cloak.
"Welcome to the Queen Mother to return to the palace." The prince had already received the letter and knelt at the gate of the palace early. He only waited for the Queen Mother to get off the sedan, and the prince knelt down to greet her.
"The prince is here." The queen mother looked at the prince in surprise. Because of the prince's previous avoidance, she had never been very close to her, even though she would protect the prince intentionally or unintentionally most of the time.
When I was in Ding Province, I rarely came to Ci'an Palace.
If he could wait here today, he might be in a hurry.
"Yes, the emperor and grandson have been waiting here." The prince stood up and supported the queen mother and said.
"Let's talk about it inside." The Queen Mother raised her chin and led everyone into Ci'an Palace.
The prince ordered someone to bring the snacks prepared in advance. The queen mother waved her hand and asked the left and right people to step aside. "The prince is here to wait for the Ai family today. I am afraid there is something wrong. If you have anything to say, please tell me." The queen mother did not beat around the bush.
.
"Queen Mother, please persuade my father. Now my father favors an immortal cultivator named Zhiya. This person seems to be Taoist but not Taoist. My grandson sent people to check his background, but it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea. But because he asked
Yu has successfully predicted several events twice, so my father has deep faith in him," the prince said.
"If this person is not harmful to the country, the Ai family won't be able to stand in the way of whomever your father likes to associate with." The Queen Mother knew Zhiya. Although she was in the Hot Spring Palace, it didn't mean that something happened in the palace.
Completely unclear.
"Empress Dowager, this person is inciting my father to lead a personal expedition." The prince raised his eyes and said, "My father is the source of the country. It would be inappropriate if he leaves the capital easily." It's not inappropriate, it's simply inappropriate.
The prince didn't have any intelligence in the palace. A young eunuch who served Zhiya was one of his people. This young eunuch heard Zhiya's stargazing theory with his own ears, and often heard Zhiya talking about Qin behind his back.
Not from home.
This made the prince extremely worried.
Now the only one who can compete with King Chen, who holds the Ministry of War, is Duke Dingguo, who is far away in Mobei fighting against the enemy. If Duke Dingguo falls, and King Chen actually controls the Ministry of War, who else can he do it for?
fear.
Even though the Qin family is not used by him now, the Qin family has always been a pure minister, and when Fu Mingyu handed over the affairs of Nanping County to him, he had shown his intention to support himself as the orthodox. Although Fu Mingyu cannot represent the entire Qin family,
But at least she is now the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, which is more or less a good thing for herself.
Therefore, the Qin family cannot fail.
Your Majesty's intention of personally conducting the expedition is very obvious, which is to demonstrate his power and weaken the power of the Qin family in the northwest. The situation in the northwest is not good now. The Qin family is struggling to defend and has been asking for reinforcements, but the court has been ignoring them and doing whatever they want.
I want His Majesty to personally lead troops to reinforce the army and thereby undermine the Qin family's prestige in the northwest.
The prince thought very clearly, and the emperor left the capital. If something happened on the way, King Chen would be destroyed by King Chen even if he was in charge of the capital.
So it’s just the right time for the Queen Mother to come back!
Now, the only one who can stop His Majesty from going on a personal expedition is the Queen Mother.
