Chapter 145 The Queen of the Li Palace 14
I don't hear about the affairs of the palace, the days passed in a very ordinary way, and it was another summer of the year.

Tang Hua's initial worry that Xie Yi would come suddenly gradually calmed down after a year, and he even forgot about it.

What he often hears about now is the frontier war. According to Li Xuan who has retired, the situation of the war is not optimistic.

One is that the military strength is too weak, and the other is that there is a lack of famous generals who will defend the territory to the death.

The above two points are all due to Xie Yi's improper governance, and he only favored Empress Tang Rong, so he no longer drafted.

Over the years, the talent show is not just a meaningless move, it is not just to increase the royal heirs, but more importantly, it is used to strengthen the loyalty of officials and officials to the emperor.

If the daughter of an official enters the palace draft, she can officially become a show girl, which will be of great benefit to her family's promotion in the future. The higher the status of the daughter in the harem, the greater the family's honor.

But now, the draft has stopped, the number of concubines in the harem has dropped sharply, and it has been a long time since they found the mastermind behind the scenes. The emperor only favors the queen, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, let alone visit the concubines who are still alive. Their daughters have no hope of living, and it is really cold to their hearts.

As soon as I feel cold, I don't care much about the affairs of the court and the war. I'm lazy and just get by.

No one is like Old General Tang, who sacrificed himself to help Xie Yi get to the throne, and no one is like General Tang Hua, who works hard to defend the territory, returns triumphantly every time, quells the war, and strengthens the strength of the army day and night, No one is like General Li Xuan, chatting and laughing with the soldiers, giving them confidence when they are defeated, and reversing the seemingly lost situation...

Too many people have left the army in the past two years. Zhang Sansu, a small soldier, is not strong enough to match the generals who have left. In addition, he is arrogant, with a cold face all day long, and he is unsmiling. When they got close, the originally disobedient military spirit was scattered.

There were no courtiers who worked hard, and there were no generals who put their own life and death at risk. The Ming Dynasty was fragile, and it would be a matter of time before it was destroyed by foreign enemies.

Xie Yi has not yet realized the importance of the harem, nor has he realized that there is something wrong with weakening the military power of those old generals. In his opinion, if this person quits, he just needs to find someone else to replace him.

The position of emperor and empress was in danger, and people like Tang Hua and Li Xuan who had no longer participated in state affairs did not care at all about the danger. At the moment, they only had their own lives.

"Tang Hua, you lose." Li Xuan held the sunspot in his hand, his face full of pride.

Seeing his pride, Li Xiaotao couldn't stand it and slapped his ear, "Don't be so proud of me. Why didn't you mention the three games you just lost? Mr. Tang just saw that you were unhappy. I deliberately lost to you."

After she finished speaking, she stroked her swollen belly, "My son! You can't be like your father, so reckless."

Half a year ago, Li Xuan and Li Xiaotao had only been married for less than a month, and they already had a child in their womb.This meeting was free, so they came back to visit Li Xiaotao's family, as well as Tang Hua, who was Li Xuan's friend and Li Xiaotao's benefactor.

Zihua was busy in the kitchen, and soon she fried two large plates of peanuts, one for Tang Hua and Li Xuan, and the other for her and Li Xiaotao to watch and enjoy.

It is cool and there are fruits to eat under the tree, and that land has already become a place where you must enjoy the coolness in the afternoon.

Zihua drew a drawing and asked a carpenter to build two lounge chairs for her, as well as a small table specially used to place things and several high wooden stools, which were beautiful and practical.

At this moment, Tang Hua and Li Xuan have been playing chess under the tree for an hour and a half, and they will not feel tired from sitting at all.

The midsummer afternoon ended with the sound of chess playing and chatting.

In the night, there was a huge thunder from nowhere, and when everyone woke up from their sleep and looked out worriedly, they saw a little fire shining ahead, but the sky was full of stars.

The intuition is just that there is a fire somewhere, and the person who was awakened will fall asleep again.

At noon the next day, word spread from the market to Zihua's village that the current queen was a disaster.

At that time, Zihua was preparing to take a nap under the tree, when she heard lively discussions in Cui's small vegetable garden.

"Do you know? Almost all of our soldiers who went to the border to fight against foreign enemies suffered casualties."

"Well, I've heard about this from Mrs. Chen from the next village. She said that she received news that her second son was seriously injured and died immediately. Let her express her condolences."

"I heard that all of this was caused by a large fort designed by the queen. I don't know where it was not done properly. Instead of shooting the fire at the foreign enemy, it hurt my own family."

"What kind of fire was that? What I heard was rocks being fired. The rocks crushed people to death."

"It's strange, what I heard was obviously a fire, and it was said that the torch set the barracks on fire."

"You are all wrong. What I heard was a wooden arrow, and it was the wooden arrow that hurt my family."

……

The sound of arguing in my ears gradually faded away, and Zihua had already fallen asleep.

It wasn't until evening that this matter was mentioned again by Tang Hua, but he just regarded it as an interesting thing and did not make any further comments.

If there is a follow-up to the matter, it will be the invasion of foreign enemies. This foreign enemy is none other than the prince who was forced to change his position back then. The prince led his troops into the Daming Palace and regained his throne.

Not long after the new empress moved into the palace marked Changrong Hall, it rained continuously for ten days and washed out the bones buried in the back garden. Only then did everyone know that Tang Rong, the empress, was behind the disappearance of the concubines in the harem.

Li Xuan thought that Tang Rong was inseparable from Zihua's abolishment and Tang Hua's demotion. He had already told about Tang Rong's murder of the former empress and all kinds of things about the harem. Some officials who lost their daughters confirmed it. Rong even gritted his teeth with hatred.

On the day Tang Rong was beheaded for public display, the streets were full of people, not willing to throw eggs and rotten leaves for livestock, they all threw stones at her.

Call her a poisonous woman.

After Xie Yi learned these things in the cell, he was even more grief-stricken and regretful. He thought about his life all day long, just hoping to meet the woman with the beautiful smile from the beginning.

But how could the current emperor let him die so easily, he ordered people to tie his hands and feet with iron chains, and enjoy the rest of his life in the dark prison.

The new king ascended the throne, restored the six palaces, and let his capable men become generals to protect the country. The important officials of the court also changed a lot.

He wanted to kill all those officials, but when he learned that they all rebelled and supported him as the new emperor, he put away his murderous intentions.

The change of dynasty has nothing to do with Zihua and Tang Hua who are far away in the village, and Tang Rong's beheading has nothing to do with them. They are just idlers in the village.

Tang Hua still goes hunting in the mountains every afternoon, and sells his prey to restaurants in the morning to earn a little money to buy wine or meat.

Zihua still only knows how to cook those few side dishes, but can't make exquisite dim sum, but so what, she can live freely, as long as she is not trapped by the palace gate.
