A bright moon hung in the treetops, and in the silver moonlight, everything in the palace looked hazy and mysterious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Ming was assassinated, and the crown prince was imprisoned, but in just one day and one night, Chang'an City was already in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, the queen has been kneeling outside for half an hour, how can it be good to kneel down again and be tired and tired?"

Feng Deshui looked at Xiao Wenxuan, who was pacing back and forth, Xiao Wenxuan had been very irritable since he came back from the East Palace, he knew that the matter of the prince hiding barbarians in the East Palace this time had made Xiao Wenxuan confused.

"If she likes to kneel, let her kneel, if she hadn't doted on the prince so much, would the prince be so overwhelmed?" Xiao Wenxuan said angrily.

Feng Deshui shrunk his neck, this time Xiao Wenxuan seemed to be really angry.

With a sigh, he continued: "Your Majesty, if you don't think about Empress Zhao, you have to think about the dragon fetus in the queen's belly." ”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, and then remembered that Empress Zhao was pregnant, he snorted coldly and said, "Let her in." ”

Feng Deshui nodded, he knew that Xiao Wenxuan was only angry with Empress Zhao because of the prince's affairs, but he still cared about Empress Zhao from the bottom of his heart.

He has been by Xiao Wenxuan's side since he was a child, and he knows Queen Zhao's status in his heart very well.

Many people think that Xiao Wenxuan has repeatedly supported the crown prince because of King Zhao, but few people know that this is only one of the reasons, the real reason is that Xiao Wenxuan is the most favored in this palace is Queen Zhao.

When Xiao Wenxuan was still a prince, he and the then prince went to Zhao at the same time.

It was at that time that they met Empress Zhao, who was known as the first beauty of Zhao at that time.

At that time, the crown prince and Xiao Wenxuan fell in love with Queen Zhao at first sight, and then the barbarians invaded, and Queen Zhao was besieged by the barbarians when she was in the province, and it was Xiao Wenxuan who rescued Queen Zhao alone at that time.

During this period, the two gradually developed a relationship.

However, at that time, King Zhao valued the prince and tried his best to obstruct it, but Queen Zhao forced her to die, and in the end, King Zhao had no choice but to finally agree to the marriage of the two.

After that, Xiao Wenxuan fought everywhere, made outstanding military achievements, and increasingly won the favor of the emperor, and the ministers also praised Xiao Wenxuan well.

In this case, the prince gradually revealed his murderous intentions to Xiao Wenxuan, and secretly believed that King Kang at that time took advantage of Xiao Wenxuan to go to Jizhou to quell the rebellion and set up an ambush to kill Xiao Wenxuan.

It's just that this secret letter was obtained by Xiao Wenxuan, and since then he has completely strengthened his determination to seize the throne, and after leading the troops back to the court, he launched a mutiny to force the prince to commit suicide, and the emperor was also imprisoned in the cold palace.

Recalling the past, Feng Deshui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, too much unbearable to skip in his heart, worthy and unworthy, but now it has become a cloud of the past.

When he arrived at Empress Zhao's side, Feng Deshui carefully helped Empress Zhao up and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is angry, be careful when you speak." ”

Empress Zhao wiped her tears, she followed Xiao Wenxuan at the age of fifteen, and now that thirty years have passed, she naturally understands her husband.

She nodded lightly and said, "Thank you Feng Shilang for reminding me." ”

Feng Deshui smiled lightly, helped Empress Zhao to the door of the imperial study, and retreated by himself to guard the door.

Inside the house, Xiao Wenxuan just glanced at Empress Zhao who came in and ignored it.

Empress Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Is the emperor still complaining about the concubines and protecting the prince?" ”

Xiao Wenxuan snorted and still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Empress Zhao said sadly: "Your Majesty, do you think that the concubines are really just for the crown prince's future throne?" Although the crown prince was wrong this time, but if he assassinated the king of Qi, how could he hide the assassin in the East Palace, this time the prince was just killed by a traitor, and I am afraid that behind this is still a battle for the throne. ”

"In the final analysis, you still have to keep the crown prince's position as the prince, I don't know that the prince is just being used, but this barbarian is indeed he hiding in the East Palace to play, so stupid, how can I hand over the Great Yu Kingdom to such an uncompetitive prince."

Empress Zhao said slowly: "The concubine understands that the prince is not angry, but hasn't the emperor's assassination this time made the emperor understand?" The prince is still there, and there are still people who want to kill Xiao Ming to deal with the prince, if the prince is deposed, what means will these princes use to kill each other next? And any prince ascends to the throne, how will they treat King Qi? Don't forget Your Majesty, when you died in order to eradicate King Kang, this almost ruined the Great Yu Kingdom, although this is a dangerous move, and the barbarians are not going south, but you haven't had a day in your heart over the years, haven't you? ”

"Shut up!"

Xiao Wenxuan was furious, and Empress Zhao's words pierced Xiao Wenxuan's heart.

Back then, it was he who secretly ordered the forbidden army to stay still, which led to the barbarians being able to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the reason why he did this was because of the prince's secret order back then.

"Your Majesty, the concubines know that you don't want to mention this matter, but please think twice, now these princes are going to kill the King of Qi, and after they ascend the throne, how will they treat the King of Qi, I am afraid that these princes will also collude with the barbarians to cause the King of Qi to die, if it is at that time, the barbarians will definitely not give the Great Yu Kingdom another chance, and there is no next King of Qi who can resist the barbarians." Empress Zhao said word by word.

"Hmph, other princes will kill Xiao Ming, won't the prince kill King Qi? When you were in the East Palace, didn't you see the prince's attitude towards King Qi? ”

"The concubine can let the prince make a certificate of nomination and hand it over to the princes, if the prince breaks his promise after ascending the throne, everyone can kill him!" Empress Zhao said solemnly: "But please also ask the emperor to let King Qi and other princes also make a petition for their name!" ”

"Vote!"

Xiao Wenxuan changed color slightly, this name was an oath made by Gao Zu and seven other vassal kings with different surnames.

At that time, in order to prevent brothers from killing each other, the name certificate stipulated that those who killed their brothers would be killed by the brothers, and this name certificate has been rumored to be a good story in the Great Yu Kingdom.

Then the time when the name certificate was used again was the Gaozu period, when the battle for the throne was the most severe, and the dying Gaozu asked the princes to make a vote before he died, and announced to the world, which kept the throne of Gaozu.

It's just that Xiao Wenxuan understands that this petition is just a contract, and whether or not to comply with it is only up to the prince himself, and he can't regard the petition as a panacea.

"Queen, you take the nomination too seriously." Xiao Wenxuan shook his head, "Woman's opinion! ”

Empress Zhao was still very persistent, she said: "The concubine naturally knows that this certificate of nomination cannot completely bind other princes, but the concubine can ensure that the prince fulfills his promise, and His Majesty can list the king of Qi as the executor of the letter of nomination, if the prince violates the oath, the king of Qi can raise troops to recruit the prince." ”
