On the west bank of Jingyuan North Lake, Han Xiucai was "performing" in front of the King of Chu to his heart's content, and when he was subduing the internal competitors, on the east bank of Jingyuan North Lake, in Han Xiucai's small courtyard, Luo and Tong Xiucai were waiting for news in the small hall.

The small hall is elegantly furnished. Outside the window is the vast North Lake, in the spring of March, like a mirror, the lake is shining.

Luo Ziche had a black mole under his chin, his appearance was strange, and he said easily: "Brother Han has been in the Jianhu Pavilion for so long, it seems that he has persuaded His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

"It's inevitable. Brother Han, see it! Grasp the key point, what happened to those two Hanlin? Tong Zhengyan shook his head and said, "Ziche, this time the Son of Heaven is in a coma and the princess is estimated to be a victim." The imperial doctor who dispensed medicine to the Son of Heaven probably had to be asked. Hey, it's a pity for the green beauty..."

He unconsciously floated in his mind the image of the stunner beauty he saw that day: her face was delicate and quiet, with willow eyebrows and clear eyes. Medium in stature, snow milk like bamboo shoots, and round buttocks like peaches. Seventeen-year-old beauty.

Luo Ziche nodded, he looked at the green beauty as he did that day, and couldn't take his eyes off it. sighed: "It's a pity! I guess she'll be beheaded too..."

Hum Ha Er will be sure that Han Xiucai's strategy will succeed, and the content of the chat will completely deviate from the current situation.

However, the details that are not thought of are often important!

…

…

On the evening of March 11, the Son of Heaven fell into a coma in Xiyuan. On the morning of the 12th, three scholars announced in a letter to China and foreign countries that the Son of Heaven was fine and that the people's hearts were stable. Later, the courtiers' recitals poured into the military plane.

However, the deterioration of the Son of Heaven's health caused the worries of people of insight in the court: the country was undecided. This topic is rapidly fermenting and attracting attention.

In the afternoon, the warbler cries and swallows, and the warm breeze of March blows the poplar forest in the Xiyuan Garden. Empress Yang has been living in the West Garden these days.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Empress Yang visited the sleeping Yongzhi Emperor in the Hanyuan Palace, touched the temperature of the Son of Heaven's forehead, and sat quietly for a while. Later, after getting the report, he took the palace maid and the eunuch to the side hall to see the king of Chu.

The solemnity of the side hall layout without losing the breath of life, the royal wealth and wealth, is revealed in the utensils displayed on the Duobao Pavilion.

The king of Chu was wearing a red prince's regular clothes, and the twenty-three-year-old prince, handsome, was waiting. He waited a while. At this time, I saw Queen Yang turn in from the back of the hall, took two steps forward, and bowed to the courtesy, "The son and the queen mother!" ”

Empress Yang's beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise. She is the queen, but she is not the mother of the kings of Jin and Chu. When the king of Chu saw her, he had never been so respectful today. Immediately, he recovered, stretched out his hand to help, and said with a gentle smile: "King Chu, please get up." ”

The King of Chu got up and exchanged a few words with Empress Yang about the illness of the Son of Heaven, "The sons are not without edicts, and they can't fulfill their filial piety, and their hearts are sad." Now there is a queen mother who guards her father day and night, and her father will definitely be taken care of in every detail. ”

He also said: "The twenty-fourth brother is not in front of his mother, the twenty-fourth brother is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future." ”

Empress Yang's face showed the brilliance of motherhood, adding to her graceful and luxurious temperament, and said with a smile: "The King of Chu is too famous. He's a little older. At that time, I also want you brothers to help and love him. ”

After chatting for a while, the king of Chu took his leave. Empress Yang returned to her temporary residence in Xiyuan with doubts. In a palace behind Hanyuan Palace, he sat in a chair and pondered slightly.

She is not stupid, and the attitude of the King of Chu towards her seems to say something. However, her first choice is, of course, to hope that the Son of Heaven's condition will improve, and then, Yuan'er will grow up and inherit the throne. King Chu wouldn't think that if he made a gesture, she would support him, right?

…

…

Empress Yang's doubts were answered the next morning, after the king of Shu asked to see her.

In the middle of the water clouds, the vision is broad. In the pool of liquid ahead, the waves are sparkling. In the imperial garden near the lake, the willow branches are luxuriant and full of greenery.

Empress Yang sat on the spacious, soft and comfortable short collapse, leaning slightly, the long sleeves of the water-pink palace dress fell on the armrest, and said, "Ke'er, that's it?" ”

Next to the collapsed chair, a palace maid close to Empress Yang stood with a tea tray. It is impossible for Empress Yang to meet the adult prince alone, which is very taboo. In the distance, on the winding corridor, there were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs waiting. You can see the situation in the water pavilion, but you can't hear the sound in the water pavilion.

"Mother, yes." The King of Shu stood two meters in front of Empress Yang and replied with a wry smile. His experience last night is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Last night, the king of Chu found him and made his aunt's condition to support him as the crown prince: on the other day, he respected Empress Yang as the queen mother and crowned Prince Yang as the prince, and could participate in court politics as a representative of the royal family.

Ning Ke, the king of Shu, waited for a while, and then said: "Queen Mother, in addition to the king of Chu who found me last night, Yin Langzhong and Jia Huan all found me. ”

Empress Yang was slightly surprised, sat up straight, plump beauty, and said curiously: "Oh? What did Mr. Yin say? ”

The king of Shu knew that the palace maid next to him was a close confidant of Empress Yang, and said: "Mr. Yin said that the king of Chu will definitely offer generous conditions to the queen's mother. However, the stepmother is not the biological mother after all. It's hard to say in the future. Wait a minute.

Please don't say anything about it for the time being. And there are two things that must be done as soon as possible: prohibit Princess Yongchang from offering beauties to the Son of Heaven again, otherwise, sooner or later the Son of Heaven will have another accident. In front of the emperor, the queen asked the queen to support Huaxiang in investigating and dealing with the Jade Guanyin case involving Princess Yongchang. I will lobby Hua Xiang to make a move.

Finally, please ask the queen to make a decree to kill the green beauty and put an end to future troubles. And set an example. ”

Queen Yang blinked her beautiful eyes gently, Mr. Yin is really talented, and the spur of analysis is in! The emperor is really fortunate to have him as a teacher.

The Son of Heaven was sick, and the situation in Beijing suddenly became very urgent. And Empress Yang is the focus of all parties. Her attitude is crucial. But what is her top priority for Empress Yang?

Of course, it is to prevent the Son of Heaven from falling ill again. Then, it is imperative to stop Princess Yongchang from continuing to offer beauties to the Son of Heaven and killing the fox in Xiyuan: the green beauty!

She didn't need to take a stand at this point. Even if the king of Chu offered very generous conditions. As Yin Yan said: Wait a minute.

Empress Yang received Yin Yan's analysis and suggestion, and her heart suddenly brightened, which was much better than her anxiety and wandering in the Yongshou Palace that day. He chuckled and asked, "So, Ke'er, what did Jia Huan say?" ”

Jia Huan asked his disciple Ning Cheng to pass the word and asked Ning Xiao to help talk to the King of Shu about his "suggestion". He owes Lord Xiao a favor. His movements are hidden. For such a big event, you have to go to see the King of Shu in person to be convincing enough. It will not make the king of Shu suspicious. However, Jia Huan entrusted Ning Xiao to come forward, and he could definitely win the trust of the King of Shu.

The King of Shu smiled bitterly again and said, "Queen Mother, you definitely can't guess." Jia Huan's meaning is different from Yin Langzhong: Princess Yongchang can be held responsible, but please don't kill the beauty. He said, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu to convey to the queen:

The grace of the queen mother is tied to the Son of Heaven. Wouldn't it be a foolproof strategy to temporarily detain Qingmei and wait for the Son of Heaven to determine himself? Why bother to see evil in the Son of Heaven? You can make suggestions, but don't make decisions for the Son of Heaven. ”

Empress Yang couldn't help frowning.

Mr. Yin is right. If she stays with a green beauty, will the Son of Heaven continue to spoil her? Causes physical deterioration.

However, Jia Huan's agreement makes sense. All her things and status come from the favor of the Son of Heaven, and she makes decisions without authorization to kill the beauty, what will the Son of Heaven think?

…

…

Here, it is necessary to explain the context of the whole thing.

In the case that ancient medicine and information consultation were not developed, how to understand the word Neimei? The inner charm of the green beauty is only known to the son of Yongzhi himself. Because, only the Son of Heaven has used it.

What's more, Yin Yan doesn't know what makes Qingmei different. Jia Huan knew that it was because of Jinyiwei Zhang Qianhu's disclosure. Of course, the Chu royal family is tight-lipped.

However, with Yin Yan's IQ, it is impossible not to guess that Empress Yang will hesitate. Therefore, he firmly urged Empress Yang to prevent Princess Yongchang from continuing to offer; And kill the beauty to prevent future troubles.

This is a man of resourcefulness, the standard it deserves! Eliminate all possible risks and accidents!

Reason: Qingmei is directly responsible for the coma of the Son of Heaven. The queen was worried about the Son of Heaven, and she was so angry in her heart that she killed him with a rod, which is normal. When the Son of Heaven woke up, even though he was unhappy, it was very limited.

But...

Including Yin Yan, Empress Yang, King Shu and others, do they think that the reason for the onset of the Son of Heaven is that Princess Yongchang continues to offer beautiful women, or do they think that the responsibility lies with the green beauty? They all think that the responsibility lies with Princess Yongchang! Freezing three feet, not a day's cold!

To put it simply, there is a lack of understanding of the "harm" of green beauties. Therefore, when Yin Yan and Jia Huan's opinions overlap: punish Princess Yongchang, and the disagreement is: whether to kill the beauty, Queen Yang, how to choose?

Is she willing to cause the unhappiness of the Son of Heaven for an unimportant young beauty?

If Empress Yang is a ruthless person like Empress Wu, Qingmei is dead now! And what is the character of Empress Yang? If Yin Yan had followed Empress Yang for many years, Empress Yang would definitely listen to his advice. Instead, to think about whether what Jia Huan said made sense.

But if, after all, it's just if.

…

…

The King of Shu waited for Queen Yang to think about it, and then said: "Queen Mother, Jia Huan said that he wanted to ask his mother to be convenient and help him say a few kind words in front of the Son of Heaven, and he still wanted to ask the Son of Heaven to marry him and his cousin." ”

Jia Huan's thinking is really too much for the sake of Queen Yang. And this "request" was given, which immediately made Queen Yang's doubts disappear. At the same time, it was also the last straw that broke the camel's back. Prompt Empress Yang to make a choice in her heart.

Empress Yang chuckled, "Heh, he's very affectionate!" I am a melancholy guest in the world. But it's hard for other girls to wait for him for many years! Nodding, "I see." ”

…

…

Since the evening of March 11, the son of Yongzhi Tianzi fell into a coma, and Empress Yang became the focus of the game of seizing the heir, Han Jin, Yin Yan, and Jia Huan, all realized this. The three of them operated separately in front of Empress Yang. Dark Fight!

The outcome of the dark battle will have a profound impact on the final outcome in the near future.

On March 14, the much-anticipated palace examination of the seventeenth year of Yongzhi ended. However, the results were not immediately announced in the early morning of the 15th.

The twelve scroll readers led by Hua Mo, after determining the ranking, took the imperial list to Xiyuan and asked the Son of Heaven to make a final decision. After four days of recuperation, the Son of Yongzhi has recovered a little, summoned important ministers, and held a pre-imperial meeting.

At this moment, in the West Garden, there are the eyes of the courtiers, the royal family, the magnates, and the new science and technology scholars in Beijing. However, the focus of everyone's attention is different.
