As soon as Zhao Yueru returned to Tianlin Mansion, she immediately changed her clothes and rushed to the palace to meet Zhao Dian and ask about the exemption of Yang Yan.

Came to Zhao Dian's bedroom, the chamberlain went in to report, and after a while, Cao An and Cao's father-in-law came out to greet him, and when he saw Zhao Yueru, he immediately said: "Princess, Guan Jiachen is sick, and he can't get up from the bed at this time." You can go in and see the official family, but you must be careful when you speak, don't startle the official family. ”

Zhao Yueru was stunned, she also knew that Zhao Dian's body was not strong, but Zhao Dian was fine when she left, and it had only been four or five days since she went, so why did she suddenly become ill. While thinking, Zhao Yueru hurriedly walked into the temporary dormitory, only to see Zhao Dian covered with a thick embroidered gold dragon and phoenix quilt, lying on the bed head-on, his face was pale, and there was no blood. Seeing Zhao Yueru coming in, Zhao Dian turned his head, and Wei Qiang smiled at Zhao Yueru and said, "Liuniang, you're back." ”

Zhao Yueru was also taken aback when she saw Zhao Dian's current appearance, and said, "How did the official family become like this?" ”

Zhao Dian smiled bitterly and shook his head, wanting to say this, his expression was in a trance, and then he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Zhao Yueru came to see Zhao Dian and wanted to ask about Yang Yan, but when she saw Zhao Dian like this, she couldn't speak, so she had to say: "The official family has a good rest, I'll go first." ”

Then he retreated from the dormitory, at this time Gonggong Cao was still waiting at the door, Zhao Yueru asked Gonggong Cao: "How is the official family so good, it suddenly became like this, has the imperial doctor seen it, what did you say." ”

Cao Gong said fairly: "If you go back to the princess, you will naturally ask the imperial doctor to take a look, and the imperial doctor said that the official family's qi is not smooth, which is the reason for the depression in the chest, as long as the official family is in a good mood, and supplemented by medicine to slowly recuperate, there is no big problem." ”

Although he said it tactfully, Zhao Yueru also heard the sound outside the strings, and said: "Depression in the chest? Could it be that someone has contradicted the official family? Father-in-law Cao, you haven't answered me yet, how did the official family get this disease? "I thought to myself, could it be that the ministers of the DPRK and China quarreled because of political affairs, which annoyed Zhao Dan?

Gonggong Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he wanted to say something else. Zhao Yueru immediately understood when she saw it, it was definitely not because of the ministers of the court, because if it was really caused by the quarrel between the ministers, Gonggong Cao would definitely be able to say it directly. If it is not because of the ministers of the court, then it must be because of the palace, Zhao Yueru's heart moved, and said, "Isn't it a saint?" ”

Gonggong Cao was so frightened that he immediately bent down, didn't even dare to raise his head, and said, "Princess Mingjian, what do I say." ”

When he said this, Zhao Yueru immediately understood, and it was really because of Queen Li.

It turned out that after Zhao Dian ascended the throne, he set Concubine Li as the queen, Concubine Duan and Concubine Huang as concubines, Queen Li was originally an arrogant and brutal person, but she had a lot of scruples about Zhao Yueru. But after Zhao Yueru went to Longxing Mansion, Empress Li had no scruples and became unscrupulous.

Empress Li first asked Zhao Dian to add the Li family, asked Zhao Dian to crown his father Li Dao as the king of Xin'an County, and opened the three divisions of the Fuyi Dynasty, and took Yang Yizhong to serve as the commander of the front division of the palace, and added his two brothers Li Jinyuan as the commander of the Nankang Army, and served as the commander of the Ma Military Division, Li Jinzhong as the envoy of the Xing** Festival, and served as the commander of the Infantry Military Division, Li Dao's nephew Li Xiaoyou was the Huzhou defense envoy, Li Xiaochun was the Taizhou defense envoy, and the rest of the relatives and guests were all made up for the officials.

However, as soon as these sealed edicts were issued, they immediately aroused the strong opposition of Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi and other ministers, and even Liang Kejia, Hong Shi and other neutral ministers also strongly advised the emperor that this proposal was absolutely impossible. Chen Junqing said bluntly: "The inheritance of power from the relatives clan is a taboo in this dynasty, how can you be subject to military power, Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, should be based on Zhongzheng, reward and punish, and make hundreds of officials and people submit, now Yang Yizhong, Chen Min, and Qi Fang are all tired of making great contributions to the government, and now there is no fault, how can they be exempted from it?" The Li family has no miraculous achievements, how can they be promoted exceptionally, I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Li Jinyuan and Li Jinzhong were originally only low-level military attachés, but they were promoted to the position of Jiedu envoy at this time. Naturally, some middle- and lower-level officials were even more disdainful, and they wrote letters one after another, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with the emperor. Ji Zhi had fierce words, and also asked the emperor to abolish Empress Li and replace Concubine Huang as the queen. Because the opposition of the ministers was too fierce, at this time Li Dao took leave and returned to his hometown to do business, and he didn't know the details. Long Dayuan, Shi Hao and other people who were usually good friends with Li Dao were also silent at this time.

Zhao Dian never expected that the Empress Li family would be opposed by so many officials, so he had to do it for the time being. But when the news reached the ears of Queen Li, she naturally refused to give up, so she cried and made a fuss in front of Zhao Dian all day long, forcing Zhao Dian to agree. Although Zhao Dian is in a dilemma, he is not tired of it, but he is cowardly by nature and has no opinions, but at this time, Zhao Yueru is not in Tianlin Mansion, and there is no way to take Queen Li.

The next day, Zhao Dian went to court and argued for another day, but there was still no result. After returning to the palace, Zhao Dian found that his favorite Huang Guifei suddenly "died of a violent illness" in the palace.

It turned out that Concubine Huang was originally the palace maid next to Emperor Zhao Gou, (the color was quite popular with Zhao Gou, so she gave Zhao Dian as a concubine.) She thought that she was the one who served the Emperor Taishang, and she was not very respectful to Empress Li between her words on weekdays. Moreover, Concubine Huang was born with a beautiful appearance and was also obedient and flattering to Zhao Dian, so she was favored by Zhao Dian. Empress Li originally hated Concubine Huang to the core, but this time I heard that someone persuaded Zhao Dian to change Huang Concubine to be the queen, and to kill Huang Guifei while Zhao Dian was in power. Then he sent someone to tell Zhao Dan that Huang Guifei was "dying of a violent illness".

Zhao Dian knew that he was the poisoner of Empress Li, but his cowardly nature made him frightened and sad, except for crying, he didn't even have the courage to question the queen. The whole person also completely collapsed, and he couldn't afford to fall ill after that. But don't want Queen Li to serve, serve tea and water, feed medicine and eat, and Concubine Duan will serve her.

Zhao Dian was seriously ill and could not be a director, and Empress Li took the opportunity to pretend to be in the name of Zhao Dian to wantonly seal her relatives, but in the end, the heart of the army was unstable, and she did not remove Yang Yizhong, Chen Min, and Qi Fang from the positions of commanders of the three forbidden armies, but only appointed Li Jinyuan as the deputy commander of the Guards and Horses and Military Division, and appointed Li Jinzhong as the commander of the Guards and Infantry Military Division.

Zhao Yueru was also furious after listening to what Cao Gonggong said, and at this moment, only to hear the sound of crying and scolding faintly from the palace, Zhao Yueru said: "Cao An, what's wrong?" What's going on again? ”
