Chapter 308: The Forbidden Purple
Hanging the curtain to listen to the government, this is also not uncommon in this dynasty, so when the Queen Mother found Li Zhongxuan and euphemistically expressed her demand, Li Zhongxuan agreed to her almost without thinking.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother sat behind the beaded curtain of the Jinluan Palace, and simply became a beast worthy of the name.
She had to seriously inquire about all kinds of matters discussed by the court, but the Empress Dowager, who was involved in everything by Li Zhongxuan's people, immediately dismissed it, and she also straightened it out, and dismissed many people promoted by Li Zhongxuan.
Everyone complained, and some people looked for Li Zhongxuan, saying that this was Si Chen, hoping that Li Zhongxuan could take care of it, but Li Zhongxuan couldn't imagine that she was so suspicious of him as a woman, and all this she did was clearly against herself.
Everyone also knew that the situation was tense, and General Cheng's situation was also very dangerous.
The Empress Dowager was afraid that if she borrowed the relationship between General Cheng and Li Zhongxuan, they would make a comeback and demote them to the poor countryside.
If this matter fell on the rest of the people, they might swallow their anger, but General Cheng was originally a particularly impulsive person, and after this incident, he made a list again and again.
But the little emperor was indifferent, the Queen Mother was a woman after all, her heart was very small, General Cheng wanted to be unmoved, once General Cheng made a fuss about this matter, the Queen Mother then died.
All kinds of things in the court, generally speaking, are just a sentence of "the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die", so in the face of these bullets, General Cheng has nothing to do.
As for Li Zhongxuan, there is no difference between Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng, and even General Yu Bicheng is in dire straits.
He had really promoted a group of backbones before, and these loyal people were promoted and appointed, but one after another, these people were also dismissed.
In the past month, Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng basically went to the Changting ten miles earlier every day to bid farewell to the old ones.
Finally, even the five-rank officials he promoted were degraded to a distant place, and this time Li Zhongxuan was also angry, and after he said goodbye, on the way back, he chatted with General Cheng.
"I think you, the regent, are too cowardly to say a word."
"It's not that I can't say it now, but I don't dare to say it, and whoever I say is good, whoever is unlucky the next day. The Queen Mother is nepotistic, pro-virtuous and far-reaching, and if she goes on like this, she is afraid that the court will be finished. Li Zhongxuan sighed and stopped the horse.
"There is no one I appointed now, hehe," General Cheng smiled miserably, "I have become such a protector general step by step from the ordinary people, and I never imagined that the imperial court would squeeze me like this one day." ”
"Don't be cranky, we'll find a way to get them back."
"Empress Zhao is in power, what can you and I do? After all, your arms can't twist your thighs. General Cheng sighed.
Li Zhongxuan fell into deep thought.
On the second day, in the early court, Li Zhongxuanlian started in the name of dozens of people, and his request was very simple, let Zhao retreat to the harem and hand over the real power to the little emperor.
The little emperor was in the Jinluan Palace, smiling, and the pearls on the crown on his head made a crisp sound, Li Zhongxuan heard this, and his sharp eyes stared at the little emperor.
The reason why there are so many pearls on the crown is that he has always reminded the emperor of the so-called "gentleman is not powerful if he is not important", but the little emperor completely ignored them.
He seemed to be having a good time, and Empress Zhao, she was listening to the government with the curtain down, and she also looked at the little emperor from time to time.
After executing Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng's people, she appointed many Zhao family members in one go, and if Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng had no objections, she would have to carry forward and continue to recruit their people.
"Weichen implores my emperor to think twice." Li Zhongxuan is relatively bold, but this Empress Zhao's face is straightforward.
No one saw the expression of Empress Zhao behind the bead curtain, and her hand grabbed Jinpa hard. The flames in my heart were burning angrily, and after a long time, a beautiful female voice floated out from the sound of the broken bead curtain colliding.
"What does the regent mean, so that the mourning family will never listen to the government again?"
Li Zhongxuan got up, "Niangniang has been listening to the government for a while, the court has been boiling, and I also invited Niangniang to the harem, I will know how to do the affairs of the court." ”
"Okay, the regent means to mourn his family and retire, right?"
The hall was silent, the two sides confronted, the Queen Mother stood in the Jinluan Hall so luxuriously, she had already changed, the cowardly Zhao Guiren before had now become a cold beast of power.
Suddenly, someone knelt next to Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan glanced at the person, and secretly thought, finally more people came to help him, and his heart was relieved.
But immediately after, the man kowtowed and said: "Weichen thinks that Niangniang is delicate and all kinds of things are handled in an orderly manner, why should I let Niangniang retreat to the harem to live in the harem?" ”
As soon as this person said, he looked back slightly at the group of people next to him, and the group of people knelt on the ground with a puff and puff, and even more, someone said: "The monarch is so young, naturally he needs his mother to come to the court, and Weichen seconded it." ”
Li Zhongxuan couldn't imagine that the imperial court had become the court of Empress Zhao, and there were so many people who supported Empress Zhao, he and General Cheng glanced at each other, and both of them sighed secretly.
"That's it!" General Cheng took out his official seal, and Da Laalla threw it on the ground, "The general who protects the country of this product, the last general is not competent, find General Zhao to come and do it." ”
Seeing that General Cheng threw the official seal on the ground, there was an uproar all of a sudden, everyone knows that the two most powerful people in this dynasty are General Cheng and Li Zhongxuan.
The two of them are in the way of civil and martial arts, and with the two of them, there is a new world, but at this moment!
General Cheng strode to the door, and Li Zhongxuan hurriedly chased after him and straightened General Cheng's shoulder.
And the warriors in front of the palace had already surrounded them fiercely, and General Cheng scolded, "Won't I be able to do this if I don't do this?" ”
"Bear with the anger of the moment, old man!" Li Zhongxuan patted General Cheng on the shoulder.
Seeing this, the little emperor hurriedly threw away the crickets in his hand, and today this split was something he couldn't even imagine.
"What about the emperor, don't you mourn the family and listen to the government?" For the little emperor, it is much better to have a queen mother to listen to the government than Li Zhongxuan, and Li Zhongxuan's cold posture makes him afraid of dreams.
At this moment, seeing Empress Zhao's tears rippling, the little emperor shook his head again and again.
"Well, why don't you tell the regent and General Cheng?" The Empress Dowager looked at the little emperor, and when the little emperor saw this intractable situation, he was afraid that if he didn't speak again, he might fight.
"Fusheng, quickly pick up General Cheng's official seal." The little emperor pointed to the official seal on the tuanhua carpet, and Fusheng bowed his waist to pick up the official seal and wipe it clean.
"General Cheng, don't be rash, how can you say that you will resign from the office, I won't approve you for this." The little emperor filmed the case, Li Zhongxuan persuaded three or two sentences, and General Cheng was also afraid that things would get worse, so he picked up the official seal.
"As for the prince, what you said is very true, the court really needs to be adjusted, this will be handed over to me, I just, just," the little emperor looked at the queen mother next to him, and Empress Zhao motioned to the little emperor to look at his fingers.
The little emperor was blessed to his heart, and said loudly: "I will give you a month to rest, and within this month, I will deal with the affairs in the court for you. ”
Li Zhongxuan knew that the overall situation was in the hands of the Queen Mother, he could only nod, General Cheng was angry and was about to make trouble again, Li Zhongxuan shook his head slightly at General Cheng, and the two retreated from the Jinluan Palace.
"Hah!" General Cheng said angrily: "It's good now, the rice balls are not rice balls, the whole thing is for nothing, you can pay attention to your safety in the past month, maybe the old witch will find someone to assassinate you." ”
"I'm sitting upright, what are you afraid of? It's you, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, okay, okay, for the time being, you don't want to conflict with them, anyway, our people have degraded everything they can belittle, you and I will not be good. ”
Li Zhongxuan's meaning is that he hopes that General Cheng will settle things.
General Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
By the second day, Li Zhongxuan no longer went to court.
It was also Li Zhongxuan who returned to the palace, and Shen Qiaoan knew that such a messy thing had happened in the court, she had often had nightmares recently, and the whole person was sick one after another, which made her body extremely weak.
At this moment, Yuying quietly told Shen Qiao'an about the affairs of the imperial court, and when Qiao An heard it, he frowned and said, "I'll talk to my younger brother." ”
"Princess!" Yuying pointed to Li Zhongxuan, who was drinking sullenly in the courtyard, "The prince has just returned from the imperial court, you should go and see the prince first." ”
Qiao An came out of the inner room, holding a cloak and draped it on Li Zhongxuan's back, Li Zhongxuan had always been more alert, but at this moment, the cloak fell on his shoulder, and he felt that someone was approaching.
He turned his head, a gripping smile rippled from the corner of his mouth, and Qiao An sighed, "I've heard about the affairs of the imperial court, don't force your face to laugh, since you want to rest and rest, let's rest and rest." ”
Joan is very gentle, full of good wife and mother.
"You understand me."
"I'm your wife, I naturally understand you, and I support you, what you're just doing is the prosperity of the country, and I don't know what kind of ear report God is arguing about you in the ears of the Queen Mother, this Empress Zhao is the most intolerable, hey." Jo Ann was saddened.
"Tomorrow," Joan smiled, "let's go around and have some fun, shall we?" Now that I think about it, I haven't had a good time outside for three to five months. ”
"It's fine."
On the second day, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan went to the shop.
There was a flower girl on the road, Li Zhongxuan bought Jiang Lan and Zhu Yu for Qiao An to put in her hair bun, Shen Qiaoan took a selfie in the mirror, and smiled from ear to ear.
"The girl is really good-looking, this flower is dressed on your head, and the flowers are fortunate for three lives, look at the girl, how beautiful it is." The flower girl said as she gave the bronze mirror to Joan.
Shen Qiaoan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, smiled, and looked back at Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan's eyes were affectionate, gentle like a spring spring.
"That's all there is to it." Li Zhongxuan selected some flowers and bought them, and the girl smiled and praised the two of them - "You are really a husband and wife, and you are laughing at others." ”
Shen Qiaoan was looking for a fun place to go, since he was taking Li Zhongxuan out to relax, so he went to many places, Qiao An bought a sword for Li Zhongxuan, and after Li Zhongxuan wore the sword, he deliberately showed off his martial arts to Qiao An.
Shen Qiaoan's eyes turned into a thread, "It's so good, it's so good." But after buying a sword, he still needed to return his clothes, so Qiao An took Li Zhongxuan to the ready-to-wear store and gave the clothes to Li Zhongxuan.
The two were rejuvenated from head to toe.
"It's beautiful this time, just your clothes are purple, purple qi comes from the east, and the clothes you hold are also purple, people from afar know at a glance that we are husband and wife."
Joan laughed.
Sure enough, someone on the street pointed at them and said, "Look at that pair of beautiful people, how sweet they smile." ”
