Emperor Jinglong paced back and forth in the Empress Dowager's room, then stopped and said with a look of annoyance on his face: "Old Ancestor, how could you agree to let that woman be my queen? Who is she? You don't know.
You know? Feiyang domineering has the same temperament as his father! If she becomes my queen, then this world will really belong to their Hong family."
An aristocratic old lady half-reclined quietly on a polished old wooden lounge chair. The old lady's hair was coiled with silver threads, shining under the light, and she was dressed in a fresh, wide and unadorned light blue cloth.
There is no decoration on the whole body except for an old jade bracelet on her hand. Even so, it does not detract from the nobility of the old lady at all. It seems that the old lady herself is transformed by nobility, and she is not decorated with any decoration.
It's just commonplace and dirty things.
At this time, the old lady's eyes were slightly lowered, and she said coldly with no expression on her face: "Xie'er, Grandma, will I harm you? I have told you a long time ago that Hong Xizhao will never be detrimental to the royal family, although he is a bit domineering.
, but he is the only person in the world who can serve my royal family wholeheartedly, so don't be too careful. What did your father say to you before he died? Do you still remember?" This old lady is Shang.
The ancestor of the country went through three emperors and the empress dowager, and the Shang Dynasty had four successive emperors who worked hard to govern, but all of them died at a young age. If it were not for the strong support of the empress dowager behind the scenes, the Shang Dynasty would have been in civil strife early, and it would have been torn to pieces.
It was this queen who established the rule that the emperor must have two sons before he could truly enter politics. It was this rule that preserved the royal lineage.
Emperor Jinglong's name was Li Xie. His father, Emperor Daofeng, died two years ago and his mother, Empress Xiaoshu, also died in depression. Therefore, in the entire palace, only the empress dowager could call him Xie'er.
Emperor Jinglong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Father, the emperor told me to only listen to my ancestors and Hong Xizhao in everything, and I have to say no matter what I say!" After saying this, Emperor Jinglong's face changed and he said anxiously.
: "But now and then, the Hong Xizhao of today is no longer the Hong Xizhao of the past. He is now domineering and arrogant, wielding power and monopolizing the government. In his eyes, I, the emperor, are like a dog, beating and scolding whenever he wants.
He even drew his sword and threatened me, ancestor, if I still listen to him and try to accumulate strength, sooner or later he will conspire to usurp the throne."
The Queen Mother opened her slightly closed eyes and glanced at the worried Emperor Jinglong, then shook her head and sighed: "Young and energetic, anxious and exaggerated, what do you know? It's all Hong Xizhao who is training you, Hong Xi
If you turn yourself into a whetstone now, he is polishing your edges and corners, it’s really a good thing you don’t know!”
Emperor Jinglong was suffocated. This was not the first time that he and the Empress Dowager had quarreled over Hong Xizhao. Every time, he was scolded by the Empress Dowager. This made Emperor Jinglong no longer willing to mention Hong Xizhao to the Empress Dowager.
Well, if the Empress Dowager hadn't suddenly agreed to Hong Xizhao today to make his daughter Hong Yan'er the queen, he would not have mentioned Hong Xizhao.
Emperor Jinglong said gloomily: "In short, I just don't want this woman!"
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly sharpened, and then her face softened and she said earnestly: "Xie'er, Hong Xizhao gave up his own daughter for you, what else do you have to worry about?"
Emperor Jinglong really felt that the Queen Mother's words were unreasonable. He even began to feel that the Queen Mother was really old and could no longer distinguish between right and wrong. He, Hong Xizhao, married his daughter into the palace clearly to control the government and even monitor his every move.
, if he has this queen by his side, his personal affairs, not to mention political affairs, will have to be taken care of by the Hong family.
Emperor Jinglong stiffened his neck and said firmly: "Anyway, I won't marry that Hong Yan'er! Grandpa, you can do whatever you want!"
"You bastard! What do you mean I have to take care of it? I am determined to have Hong Yan'er as my granddaughter-in-law. After you marry her, you will not be allowed to recruit concubines until you have children. You will not be allowed to engage in government affairs until you have two children." The Queen Mother's voice changed.
Li was obviously very angry.
Emperor Jinglong's heart sank and then he muttered in a low voice, still dissatisfied: "After I have two children, I will have been killed by Hong Xizhao. Maybe he is waiting for me to kill me after I have children and then build a new one."
The emperor’s idea! When the time comes that his daughter will be the empress dowager, he will be the grand master, and the emperor will be his grandson, won’t the Shang Kingdom completely become the Hong family’s?”
However, the Queen Mother calmed down her anger and sat up and said, "Xie'er, do you think grandma will harm you?"
Emperor Jinglong was startled and then shook his head and said: "My grandma has always loved me the most, so naturally she will not harm me." Emperor Jinglong's words came from the sincerity. Since the locust plague eighty years ago, the royal bloodline
During the difficult times, the ancestor was particularly concerned about himself and his younger brother. Especially since Emperor Daofeng died of vomiting blood, the Empress Dowager took great care of him. Although he was strict, Emperor Jinglong could feel the Empress Dowager's care.
Loving concern.
The Queen Mother nodded and then said: "Then you follow my advice and marry Hong Yan'er as the queen. You will know the benefits later. You are young and energetic now. There are some things that I cannot tell you clearly. Hong Xizhao's painstaking efforts
I won’t blame you if you can’t understand it. In short, you will naturally understand the truth of what I said today three years later. Now a hundred thousand mountains have been destroyed by heavy snow, and a catastrophe is about to happen. Our eight-hundred-year-old business foundation
It is about to be destroyed. Among the entire imperial court, only the Grand Master and the Civil and Military Generals can support the situation. They are indispensable for both civil and military affairs. I do not object to you asking them to check and balance each other, but you must not act at this time.
What crooked thoughts are there? Otherwise, if the foreign enemies don’t stop, civil strife will start, and our Shang country will be in danger. You are the king of the people and Dragon Lord, so you have to take a long-term view. At this time, marrying Hong Yaner, the daughter of Hong Xizhao, will be of great benefit to stabilizing the overall situation. Do you understand?
"
Emperor Jinglong had a bitter look on his face. He looked at the Queen Mother's face and knew that there was no room for change, so he could only nod in agreement gloomily and unwillingly. However, no one else knew what he was thinking. He would never agree with Hong Xi's note.
An had good intentions towards him, but at this moment, he was already harboring murderous intentions! "As long as Hong Yan'er is obedient and honest, if she dares to do anything bad and fall out with Hong Xizhao, I will kill her too, so as not to worry about it in the future.
