At this time, Qin Liang turned his head and glanced at the door in the southeast corner and said, "I have a secret matter to report to Your Highness."
Empress Dowager Guo understood and called Zhang Huan in and said, "Don't let anyone come near the attic."
Zhang Huan responded: "Here." Then he retreated. There are two exits in this attic. The door looking south is the door Qin Liang came in. There is also a room in the north with a door. Zhang Huan only needs to call someone.
Just look at both sides.
Qin Liang stood up, knelt down close to the curtain, and told the secret he wanted to report. He actually said that Ma Mao, the undercover Wu State spy, had brought back Sun Quan's queen Pan Shu yesterday!
Queen Mother Guo was also very surprised. She had experienced strange things, but Queen Pan was from Wu, so this incident was really unbelievable.
Qin Liang briefly explained the process, and then said: "Ma Mao abducted her to Luoyang, but it was not out of evil intentions. According to what Ma Mao said about the situation in the Wu Palace, it would be difficult for Queen Pan to survive if she didn't leave. I didn't
After embarrassing Pan, he promised to send her back to Wu, but she didn't say she wanted to leave yesterday."
Queen Mother Guo pursed her red lips and remained silent for a while. Perhaps because she remembered her own experience, she suddenly felt some sympathy for Queen Pan's situation. As the Queen Mother, what about the Queen? Living and being honored after death, sometimes the most
She could only choose one thing! And when she came to Huainan while pregnant with Liujia, she might even have been ruined in body and name.
Through the silk curtains, Queen Mother Guo could roughly see Qin Liang's appearance. Even though he was frowning and with a look of emotion on his face, there was also a vague and proud temperament on his handsome face. Queen Mother Guo looked back and thought: Queen Pan was
He was abducted, but luckily among the misfortunes, the person he met was Qin Zhongming.
Queen Mother Guo understood Qin Liang's temperament. He would sometimes do some daring things, but he was also sincere to others.
"Fortunately, it's Zhongming." Empress Dowager Guo blurted out what she was thinking.
Qin Liang raised his eyes and looked over, showing a slight smile.
Empress Dowager Guo sighed again: "When the time is right, you will invite her to the palace. I want to see her."
Qin Liang said: "I obey your Highness's order. However, I think that the identity of Queen Wu should be concealed for the time being, otherwise it may affect Sun Quan's decision-making. If the successor of Wu is changed as a result, it will be detrimental to our country. That's why I want to invite Your Highness,
Screen back left and right."
Empress Dowager Guo nodded slightly and said, "Zhong Ming's words make sense."
She glanced at the door in the southeast corner and felt that she couldn't see clearly through the curtain, so she said softly: "Although the door is open, you can't see the scene on the west side outside the door. Zhong Ming can come in through the curtain."
Qin Liang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and opened the curtain, walked behind the tables, and knelt down on the seat next to Queen Mother Guo.
It's a clear day today, the sun is shining outside, the attic is very bright, and the door is open. The foreign ministers and the Queen Mother are sitting so close, which makes people really nervous. What's more, this place is not an abandoned East Palace. To the north is the court and to the south is the minister.
The Provincial Courtyard is the formal and solemn office space of Zhongyang Imperial Court!
Probably because of the environment, Qin Liang did not make any more intimate gestures. He knelt down and whispered: "Your Majesty once talked to me, and I felt that I had wronged Your Highness. Now even Ayu can't take care of him."
By His Highness’ side.”
Queen Mother Guo said softly: "Mrs. Wang is generous and sensible."
Qin Liang said in a deep voice: "If we had not formed an alliance with His Highness and were able to quickly raise troops at that time, we would all have suffered a bad end! Therefore, I am grateful to Your Highness."
Empress Dowager Guo sighed softly and said to herself: I accidentally became pregnant at that time, and the situation was terrible. When the army started in Yangzhou, I actually didn't have much choice.
She pondered for a moment and said quietly: "No matter who is in power in the court, I have nothing to do. Besides, if something like that happened between us, if Zhongming is in charge, at least we don't have to worry so much."
Empress Dowager Guo also knew that she might not get much reward for what she did, but at least she could try to avoid a tragic end. Especially the nightmare scene that was broken down by many people. As long as Qin Liang is in power, such things will not happen. It can happen!
At this moment, Qin Liang came closer and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness will be able to be the Queen again in the future. I talked to your Majesty this morning and she also had this intention."
Queen Mother Guo was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Qin Liang looked at Queen Mother Guo: "The story of Empress E and Nv Ying."
Queen Mother Guo looked at Qin Liang, and she quickly understood what Qin Liang meant!
Queen Mother Guo's mood suddenly became very complicated. For a moment, her mind even went blank. Qin Liang's expression was serious, and there was some uneasiness in his firm eyes.
In fact, the powerful minister who has achieved this step not only holds military and political power, but also has a huge military reputation. In addition, the Cao family is declining day by day. Many people in the court will think about the possibility of the powerful minister usurping the throne! This kind of thing is too easy to think of, but no one Just want to tell the truth.
However, what Qin Liang did is not very obvious, and he allowed Empress Dowager Guo to take charge of the government. Many people are probably not completely convinced, thinking that Qin Liang seems to have the possibility of returning power to the Cao family? The biggest reason is that Empress Dowager Guo stayed in the palace to control edict.
Fortunately, Qin Liang stated his ambition directly and clearly in front of the Empress Dowager Guo!
Queen Mother Guo also became nervous, but then she thought about it, Qin Liang was willing to tell her directly out of closeness and trust. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, letting her heart that almost reached her throat feel a little relieved.
Queen Mother Guo looked at Qin Liang's eyes carefully, then turned to look at the door leading to the next door, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "The system originated from Zhou rites, doesn't it conform to the etiquette system?"
Qin Liang said in a deep voice: "The harem system in each dynasty is different. I founded the country with martial arts. As a special case, there won't be much problem. Your Highness is the Empress Dowager and the Empress. How can I bear to let Your Highness lower her status? So what? Will you tolerate His Highness living in seclusion in a separate palace?"
Queen Mother Guo stretched out her hand to hold Qin Liang's hand: "Then we must not be insulted by the historian for many years?"
Qin Liang's eyes were cold: "Confucianism is a taboo for venerables. As long as their status is respected enough, scholars are more subtle and restrained. Besides, scolding will be a matter for the next dynasty. By then, we will have been buried with posthumous titles for many years. Maybe we will be buried in the grave." It has been stolen several times, how can you care about something so far away?"
Queen Mother Guo was speechless for a long time. After calming down for a while, she thought about why Qin Liang made such a promise.
Or is it because she is now in charge of the government? But this reason is not sufficient. If Qin Liang is worried about hidden dangers, he can let Queen Mother Guo move to Yongning Palace now! Anyway, if it were Cao Shuang or Sima Yi, such a move would be no surprise.
Doing that may be a bit sorry for the Queen Mother Guo, but in the face of great power, father, son, brother, and the whole family can fight to the death, so what does unfair distribution mean?
Queen Mother Guo blurted out and asked: "Why did Zhongming do this?"
Qin Liang said: "Your Highness, don't you know my heart?"
Queen Mother Guo seemed to hear a "buzz" in her heart, and felt Qin Liang's sincere and passionate eyes seem to be burning her heart!
She immediately believed in Qin Liang's sincerity. Not only did she believe in his character, but there was no need for him to deceive her! Not to mention taking Queen Mother Guo directly to Yongning Palace, even in the current situation, Queen Mother Guo did not have the strength. Threaten Qin Liang's power. So Qin Liang is not trying to make her happy with sweet words, but he wants to be good to her from the bottom of his heart. It is not an impulsive promise after careful consideration!
Empress Dowager Guo had an impulse and hugged Qin Liang regardless of the danger. She put her mouth and nose into the crook of his neck, smelling his breath greedily, and pressed her body closely against Qin Liang.
Qin Liang's warm breath whispered in her jade ears: "I actually take a very light view of many things, and my ambition is not that big. The country is really not as important as you and others to me. But here we are. At this step, it is impossible to think about retreating. If you hesitate even a little, there will be an abyss behind you!"
Empress Dowager Guo said quietly: "With a country, what kind of beauty can't be found? Aren't young and beautiful ones better? Time is not forgiving, how can I compare?"
Qin Liang said: "I still want to stay with His Highness."
Then he whispered about the beauty of Empress Dowager Guo in such detail that it was almost unbearable to hear. He was usually so elegant and calm, and his words and deeds were decent and dignified, but when he heard these words in Empress Dowager Guo's ears, he was actually very relaxed. Yes. Queen Mother Guo's cheeks turned red and her ears felt hot.
Originally, after she became the Queen Mother, she only waited for the posthumous title for a while. She had little hope for life, and was helpless about the overall situation, and could not control her own destiny. But after getting to know Qin Liang, she gradually discovered that, She still had many experiences to experience and many things to do. Empress Dowager Guo almost whispered without hesitation: "My heart will always belong to Zhong Ming in this life and the next."
But the two didn't dare to hug for too long, and they had to separate after a while.
Qin Liang also turned to look at the door, then looked up at the Dou Gong above his head. Queen Mother Guo glared at him and said softly: "Many people saw Zhong Ming coming in. I also asked Zhang Huan to guard outside. You can't stay too long." Long."
Qin Liang glanced at the skirt of Queen Mother Guo's silk clothes, nodded and said: "Your Highness is right." Queen Mother Guo lowered her head and looked down, squinting her face and gently pulling on her clothes, tidying up the clothes that were slightly messy due to the hug.
"When can I go to the East Palace to see His Highness again?" Qin Liang asked.
Queen Mother Guo thought for a while and said: "I'm very confused now. Let me think about it. Now it's better not to arouse suspicion."
Qin Liangming nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't disturb you too much today."
Empress Dowager Guo returned the courtesy and said softly: "Please return to Shangshu Province to do your business."
Qin Liang then stood up from the banquet. Empress Dowager Guo glanced at his robe. He adjusted it briefly and then lifted the curtain and walked out. When he walked to the southeast door, Qin Liang turned around and glanced again.
Queen Mother Guo watched his figure disappear into the sun, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt down softly on the spot. She felt as if she had just had a dream. There was still the previous document in front of her, but She could no longer calm down and continue reading.
In her impetuous and excited mood, there was an inexplicable sense of peace of mind, because Empress Dowager Guo knew that Qin Liang was careful and planned everything safely. However, she suppressed a faint sense of guilt, which made her unable to control herself for a while.
