The pepper room covered with Sichuan peppercorns is indeed warmer than the palace outside, but Qin Liang still believes that this kind of room is warm because it is closed, and the Sichuan peppercorns should not have any effect.
There were no windows in the house, and the light was deep and dim. This was Qin Liang's first time here, and probably no one had been here before.
Qin Liang's heartbeat was very fast and he was very confused. However, he had already agreed to the Queen Mother Guo, so he did not hesitate too much. He acted firmly and steadily, but his words and deeds were gentle and careful.
In a trance, like a dream, he almost only remembered a dazzling white light. Some trivial matters in life also flashed through his mind, such as the image of Moye cooking the side dish to go with wine in the kitchen yesterday evening, which seemed to reappear.
In front of my eyes.
He couldn't help but feel a little more worried. At this time, the silence inside the tent had returned, as if nothing had happened.
Qin Liang was about to get up, but Zhen Yao stretched out her arms and hugged his neck tightly. Qin Liang had no choice but to pull the quilt, cover her arms, and continue to hug her.
Zhen Yao said softly: "Zhong Ming is so warm. Are you leaving now?" Qin Liang could only say: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Today I have some court matters and I want to discuss them with Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother." Zhen
Yao said quietly: "I know what you were doing last time. But it was really laborious. Am I useless?" Qin Liang said kindly: "Your Highness is weak, don't worry too much, just rest and rest." Zhen
Yao whispered in his ear: "That's alright. Zhong Ming can just pretend that he hasn't done anything." After hugging him for a while, Qin Liang tried to get up, straightened his clothes, and then came close to her ear.
While saying: "Your Highness, you have a good rest, I will go outside first." Zhen Yao frowned.
"Yeah". Qin Liang then opened the curtain and turned around to look again. Zhen Yao looked at him and looked away a little embarrassedly.
Qin Liang walked along the passage between the walls again and walked to the inner hall. He saw Queen Mother Guo still behind the curtain, but she had already stood up and was pacing there.
Queen Mother Guo turned around and looked at Qin Liang. After standing for a moment, she knelt down and sat down at the banquet. For a moment, Qin Liang didn't know what to say, so he came to sit next to Queen Mother Guo.
Queen Mother Guo's eyes wandered, and she looked at Qin Liang casually from time to time. The two were silent for a while.
Qin Liang turned his head and glanced in the direction of Jiao Fang. An imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Queen Mother Guo's mouth.
"I heard the voice. Don't worry, Zhong Ming doesn't dislike her, she won't feel insulted." Qin Liang thought for a moment and said, "It seems reasonable." He took a long breath and adjusted his mood.
, said calmly: "I have an audience today, and I have something to discuss with His Highness. I am going to submit a memorial to change the emperor. What does Your Highness think?" Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Guo raised her eyebrows slightly, but her reaction was not
After a moment of silence, Qin Liang asked, "Who should I replace?" Qin Liang said, "I mainly want to replace the current emperor. Your Highness will nominate a new emperor." In fact, the demands of the two people are not exactly the same.
Queen Mother Guo probably just didn't want Cao Fang to be in power. She was willing to depose the emperor, so she naturally had reasons to support Qin Liang.
However, Qin Liang went on to say: "The emperor talked about the pro-government affairs in Taixue. Does Your Highness know?" Empress Dowager Guo immediately glanced at him and said softly: "I have heard about it." Qin Liang nodded slightly and said: "
At yesterday's court meeting, the edict to reward Huainan's achievements must not have been approved by His Highness and Zhongshu Sheng. I think the silk book was taken from the eunuch's hand. It is estimated that the emperor wrote the edict himself and took advantage of the court meeting to directly
It was handed over to the officials of Dahonglu." Empress Dowager Guo sighed softly, pondered for a while and said: "What do Zhongming think of Gao Gui Xiang Gong?" Gao Gui Xiang Gong is Cao Mao, and Qin Liang knew it as soon as he heard Gao Gui Xiang Gong.
It’s a pit!
He is a person who is willing to take risks, which is different from someone like Cao Fang who usually takes a lot of actions but easily retreats at critical moments.
Qin Liang had no choice but to ask: "Does Your Highness have any other candidates?" The room in the palace was bright and spacious. Empress Dowager Guo bowed slightly, but spoke in a suppressed voice: "There are many adult clan members. If we want to choose a younger one, we should
There is a reason to prevent others from having anything to say. But it makes sense for Qing and others to elect a young emperor in order to choose the descendants of Emperor Wen." After Qin Liang heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Because it was Cao Pi who ascended the throne of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen Cao Pi was the founding emperor of Wei. Naturally, it was the most reasonable approach to choose the descendants of the emperor of Wei.
Cao Pi had ten sons, but unfortunately most of them either died in infancy or were eliminated from the country. Except for Cao Rui's son Cao Fang, who was suspected to be his biological son, only Cao Lin, King of the East China Sea, had an heir.
Cao Lin had two sons, the eldest son was Cao Mao proposed by the Queen Mother Guo, and there was also a legitimate son named Cao Qi.
So Qin Liang asked: "How about Cao Qi, the legitimate son of the King of the East China Sea?" Queen Mother Guo glanced at Qin Liang's face and hesitated for a moment before saying: "If Zhong Ming thinks Cao Qi is good, that's okay. But Cao Qi's biological mother is a princess.
, Let him succeed the Ming Dynasty, and his mother may be reluctant to give up." In fact, what Empress Dowager Guo said makes sense, Cao Mao is indeed the best candidate at this time!
But Qin Liang still insisted on avoiding trouble. For a while, he couldn't explain the real reason clearly, so he could only say in a forced and solemn voice: "The noble countryman is too smart and older. Cao Qi will only be seven years old this year.
It needs to be more suitable. Princess Donghai is also Cao Mao's mistress, so in the future, Cao Mao can inherit the title of King of Donghai. Originally, the Ming Emperor had issued an edict prohibiting the sons of Xiaozong who succeeded the big clan from honoring their biological parents. According to the rules, only His Highness could do it.
Empress Dowager." Empress Dowager Guo nodded.
"Hmm" said. At this time, there was a gust of wind outside the palace. Queen Mother Guo looked sideways slightly, facing the direction of the sun with her beautiful almond eyes, looking out the wooden window.
The wind pouring into the palace seems to have a moist atmosphere. The Canglong Sea in the East Palace was probably carved out of a natural lake. Its shape is irregular, with the east side sloping to the south; the interior of Yong'an Palace
The area on the east side of the palace is not far from Canglonghai Lake.
Qin Liang remembered that the water surface of Luoshui had not melted yet yesterday, and the same could be said for the Canglong Sea on the East Palace side. However, due to the continuous sunny days and scorching sun, the ice surface may have begun to melt, and the cold lake seemed to have water flow.
Qin Liang reached out and held the hand in the wide sleeve of Queen Mother Guo's silkworm coat, and said kindly: "Your Highness has indeed paid too much, and I will never forget it." Queen Mother Guo immediately turned around, looked at Qin Liang and said:
"After all, it is a big event, so it is inevitable to think more about it. I am not reluctant." Qin Liang sighed: "Previously, Li Feng Xu Yun conspired to kill, and Guan Qiu Jian rebelled. Many people know that those things are related to the emperor.
The relationship between monarch and minister has long been unsustainable. But because the Wang family was unwilling to abolish the establishment at that time, we can only manage to maintain it until now. This time we have to do it!" Empress Dowager Guo said softly: "I know even if you don't tell me.
I was a queen and empress dowager, and I lived in fear most of my life. Without Zhongming, wouldn't it be the same as having Cao Shuang and Sima Yi?" She paused for a moment and whispered again: "If that person is Zhongming, I would actually
I am willing." The following words sounded a bit familiar to Qin Liang, as it seemed that Queen Mother Guo had said it before, but the meaning was different.
Qin Liang was suddenly moved. At this time, Queen Mother Guo glanced at his robe, then moved her gaze elsewhere, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Shall I help Zhong Ming?" Qin Liang glanced around and said: "
There seems to be a small house next door. Let's talk somewhere else." Queen Mother Guo responded and stood up from the banquet silently. They left the banquet behind the curtain and quickly walked to the door.
When they met Mrs. Zhen, the three of them bowed to each other. Qin Liang invited Mrs. Zhen to come over and chat with them.
Mrs. Zhen said nervously: "I'm still here to watch. If someone comes, I can receive him. I'll wait a few days to visit the General's Mansion." Qin Liang didn't want to force her, so he nodded and said: "
That's fine." Empress Dowager Guo's voice said: "I'll go to the room later and help tidy up the queen's clothes." Mrs. Zhen immediately raised her head and looked at her step sister's face, but there was nothing unusual about Empress Dowager Guo's expression.
Mrs. Zhen breathed out a breath, and then
"Hmm" said,
"I remember, don't chat for too long." Queen Mother Guo glared at her adopted sister and walked past her.
There was indeed a house nearby, and we arrived within a few steps. After Qin Liang also walked into the house, Queen Mother Guo gently closed the wooden door.
This room is much smaller, not a bedroom, and has very few furniture. The small and tall wooden windows on the wall are closed at this time.
Qin Liang looked around, and first walked to an empty wooden frame by the wall to look at the things on it. Empress Dowager Guo bolted the door and walked over slowly.
She walked with a dignified posture and her waist swayed slightly. Just because of her figure, she still maintained a reserved temperament.
Empress Dowager Guo stood in front of Qin Liang, her red lips parted lightly and murmured: "Some things can't be turned back once they begin." Mrs. Zhen obviously had something to do with what she said.
At first, Mrs. Zhen was very courageous, but when things got to the point where she couldn't bear it, Mrs. Zhen showed fear. On the contrary, Queen Mother Guo was usually cautious, but now she could face it calmly.
Qin Liang gently hugged Queen Mother Guo, and she also put her mouth and nose against Qin Liang's neck. Qin Liang stretched out his hand to caress her back and said: "The matter seems serious, but in fact, the danger is getting smaller and smaller now. Who can still
Can they threaten us as easily as those before?" After a pause, he said calmly,
"Now even if others see it, what will happen?" After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo hugged Qin Liang tighter.
In fact, Qin Liang has never felt how crazy he is until now. Just like what happened to the Cao family, it is said that Cao Song was buried in Gong robes. They had long been disobedient, but how could they simply,
How about judging everything by just one or two things?
