Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

"Eunuch Wei came just now and said that the emperor will come for dinner later."

Xu Yan was so shocked that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty! The tea is boiling hot and your hands are red. Come quickly and get some ice."

There was a burst of turmoil behind the people, but Xu Yan didn't seem to feel it at all.

Chapter 317 Frozen

After finally bandaging her hands, the people around Xu Yan were still thinking about how to explain it if the emperor saw it later, but she didn't expect that Empress Zhaoyi didn't respond at all.

"Okay, just use some medicine when the time comes. The emperor has been cooking in the Hall of Mental Cultivation these days, and ordered the small kitchen to make some things for clearing the heart and improving the purpose. The sake buried under the pear tree just came out. The emperor likes the taste .”

Hearing the emperor's preferences reappeared in the mouth of the empress, the maid was reluctant to let go.

When Zhu Qizhen came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhan Fei, who was originally in the hall, had gone somewhere, but when he was walking towards Xu Yan, he was stopped by a person on the way.

She is the aunt next to the queen mother.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager would like to invite you to Shoukang Palace for dinner."

Coming here in such a hurry seems to be a good idea.

Today's Zhu Qizhen naturally doesn't need to follow the queen mother's wishes in everything.

"Auntie, let's go back first. Just now, I ordered someone to send a piece of snow clam to my mother's palace. I remember that this was my mother's favorite food. I will go to Shoukang Palace later."

Many battles in the harem were caused by suspicion. Although there are many skilled people, Zhu Qizhen knows where the trouble lies. The Queen Mother made it clear that she wanted to talk about the Sun family. It is obvious that more acting is required to get the members of the Sun family to raise their minds in their throats.

Zhu Qing looked at the emperor, naturally he couldn't speak, so he could only slightly bow and watch the emperor leave. As long as the emperor is willing to come to Shoukang Palace today, it means that there is still room for discussion on this matter. The news came in last time, and it was basically confirmed. This was specifically revealed by Zhu Wushi. Now it is clear that he does not want to cooperate with the Sun family, so he released this news, and the net was broken.

As long as the princess is not killed by the gift of marriage, even if the goal is achieved, the Sun family was flattering to Zhu Wu before, but I didn't expect this person to be so cruel when doing things.

He didn't take the Sun family seriously at all.

But Zhu Wushi knew about such a hidden thing, so how many years he had planned in the capital, even the Queen Mother felt a little scared when he thought of this place.

The emperor's marriage with the princess is actually a kind of temptation to Zhu Wushi, and now he is forcing the Sun family to stay away from Zhu Wushi. Mother, according to the blood relationship, even if Zhu Wushi is really eliminated, there won't be too much backlash.

So the emperor made up his mind a long time ago. Now that the Sun family wants to keep their position, they must become the emperor's helper.

But having said that, if the emperor swallowed Zhu Wushi, the life of the Sun family in the capital would definitely not be easy in the future, and the power would be weakened step by step. The emperor is now best at boiling frogs in warm water.

The Sun family doesn't dare to act rashly now, if they know what happened to Zhanfei, they can barely learn from it.

But now there is no news about Zhan Fei. According to the emperor's thoughts, it is possible that he has been eliminated by now.

Hearing the movement outside, Xu Yancai withdrew his thoughts. Speaking of which, he and the emperor hadn't seen each other for a few days. He thought that the two beauties from the Japanese country should try their best to get the emperor's thoughts away. There was no movement, but the matter of the Sun family broke out first.

"Greetings to the emperor."

Xu Yan dressed very elegantly today, with long eyebrows drawn into his temples, carrying a hint of heroism.

"I've said it all, you don't need to salute to me in Zhongcui Palace. If you were really disciplined, you wouldn't have done such transgressive things by my side before."

Xu Yan did not expect that the emperor could still remember what happened so long ago.

"The emperor always likes to joke in front of his concubines, so he has prepared good things for the emperor, and he will have to eat them all later."

Zhu Qizhen saw the green things on the table, tripe strips with bean paste, stir-fried bitter gourd, if he read correctly, these seemed to be his least favorite food.

Although the emperor's preferences have never been known, it seems that Xu Yan is the first person to trample on his minefield so crazily, but Zhu Qizhen has no choice but to drink the pear wine in the cup. exhausted.

Xu Yan thought that the emperor was thinking, and personally helped to serve the dishes. Looking at the contents of the dish, Zhu Qizhen could only bite the bullet and start eating.

Seeing this, Xu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, this is the dessert that my concubine brought back from Concubine Tang's Palace today, and the Emperor will try it too."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't wait to take the snacks.

The scent of the cakes can be regarded as soothing. Even though his cultivation path is getting smoother now, he is still indulgent in his appetite, so this sudden snack is simply his savior.

If Xu Yan knew what was going on in Zhu Qizhen's mind right now, he might feel that his brain was made of paste.

"It's fine, what's wrong with your hand?"

When Zhu Qizhen saw Xu Yan bring up his other hand, he asked nervously.

"When the concubine was in the palace today, the teacup was not held securely and poured on her hand. The medicine has already been applied. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Xu Yan put the snacks on the plate in front of the emperor.

"is it?"

Originally, Xu Yan wanted to hold back the words, but the palace had spread the news all over the place. Sometimes, if you want to get unusual treatment in a person's heart, it starts with a secret.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine is in the palace today, he has heard a lot of things. The emperor has come directly to the concubine's palace. Now he is not afraid that the concubine will become the target of public criticism."

When I first arrived at Zhongcui Palace, I still thought about a lot of things, but now I don't think about it at all.

The jealous expression looked very interesting, Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "It is said that new love and old love can meet each other, only when you are here, eating can become an ordinary thing."

Xu Yan's arrogance in front of Zhu Qizhen at that time, including when he didn't know that he was the emperor, was the first time he saw that look after he came to this place.

That's why he tried to find a way to keep people. Even though he knew that Cao Zhengchun's purpose was not simple, he was determined to control the situation.

Xu Yan was also wondering why the emperor insisted on keeping her in the palace, but he didn't expect the emperor to answer her with such ordinary words.

"It's not easy to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Such a sentence is really precious to Xu Yan.

"If the emperor is willing, the concubine can prepare meals at any time."

Wei Zhongxian followed the emperor, no wonder the empresses in the palace are so devoted to the emperor, if this is the case, no woman in the world can bear it.

"It's just that from the look on your face, it seems that there are other things to ask?"

Chapter 318 Leave

If Xu Yan really wanted to confess in front of the emperor, Shangguan Haitang would not have found out about her close relationship with Jiang Yuyan, so after she investigated everything clearly, she would let the emperor know everything.

"The concubine didn't see such a movement in the harem, so she was a little dazed."

Naturally, Zhu Qizhen didn't ask any more questions. When she came to Xu Yan's place, she knew the affairs of the palace. She never asked too many questions. After all, she had to keep her spirits up. Some people would always come here at night. .

When Hou Fu knew that Zhan Fei had disappeared in the palace, the princess who had been restless at first knew that this was the emperor's trick, but she couldn't do anything now.

Although my father ordered people to release the news about the Sun family, he didn't give her any instructions, and now he can only guard in the yard.

Just when she wanted to know the purpose of her father's doing this, the concierge sent a message that someone outside wanted to see the Princess.

Coming here at such a time, the princess naturally couldn't hold back his temper, so he ordered people to invite those who were standing outside to come in.

It wasn't until seeing the person coming that the Princess' mind was relieved.

"Didn't you go with your father? Why are you back at this time?"

At first, I thought that the affairs of the Sun family were turned upside down now, and there should be a smile on his face no matter what, but his expression didn't look good.

"If it's true to Hou Ye's judgment, the Sun family is afraid that Yuhuatian will be hated now, but now that the Sun family members know so quickly that the news was released by Hou Ye, it is obvious that someone has tampered with it. .”

The princess was shocked, and quickly took out the small paper ball in the makeup box.

"This is the news my father gave me, this..."

The man took the ball of paper from the princess's hand, and immediately felt bad when he saw the content on it.

This handwriting is exactly the same as that of Lord Hou. At the beginning, Lord Hou did order to spread the adulterous relationship between Zhan Fei and Sun Keqing. Although there is no physical relationship between these two people, they are childhood sweethearts since childhood, but now the news in the capital But it turned out that Zhan Fei was specially placed in Sun's house by the Hou Mansion, and the news from the royal family could not be released. Unexpectedly, even if Hou Ye is not in the capital, he is thinking about how to plot against the emperor.

The original smoke bomb has become a trick, and who is the last manipulator...

Just wait until this time to figure it out, many things are already too late.

"It's the emperor..." When the princess wanted to say these two words outrageously, the person standing in front of her immediately covered her mouth.

"Hou's mansion has been dirty for a long time. Princess, Lord Hou told you to keep an eye on it before going out. You don't know why there are internal thieves?"

The people who came back are also in a hurry now. Master Hou's good chess move was misunderstood, and he is not in the capital now. The people who are looking for Longju only recognize Master Hou. Even if he really comes back, it will not help. .

The princess didn't know that his father had always ignored the emperor in the past, but now he became so jealous.

"Now that the emperor has calculated the matter on my head, what else can I do? Is my father really willing to watch me being married off by the emperor?"

I was still a little flustered at first, but when it came to the marriage, the Princess had a thousand reluctances in her heart.

"Father doesn't know that Mongolian envoys are coming soon. Why is there news at this time that the emperor has summoned his close ministers to the Hall of Mental Cultivation before? Mongolia and Daming have contacts. At that time, I will become the emperor's exchange." Chess piece, the only thing my father can see is my dead body."

The princess is very angry now, and the people around him can only comfort him at this time.

"Hou Ye is now helping the emperor to do things. Although the people in the capital don't know it yet, if the emperor really wants to do this, it will be to ignore the heroes of the court. At that time, the emperor finally gathered the hearts of the people , it fell apart, princess, the emperor will not take such a risk, he just wants the Sun family to focus on dealing with the Houfu."

If a marriage is to be granted, both the emperor and the queen mother must nod their heads in agreement. Before, the queen mother wanted the Hou family to stand behind the Sun family, but now something like this happened...

Even if my father can calculate a lot of things thoroughly, if his marriage is settled, is it possible that he still has to negotiate terms in front of the emperor?

Those who came back with great difficulty knew from seeing the princess's expression that what Lord Hou was worried about had happened.

The emperor has figured out what kind of person the princess is. Even if Lord Hou puts all the pros and cons in front of the princess, he still feels that Lord Hou will only give up his daughter for his own plan.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Wuwei can give up anything for the benefit.

"You go first."

Now it's time to drive people away, and in the end people can only leave one sentence.

"If the princess is not at ease, he always has to wait for Lord Hou to come back. The people who are looking for Longju will make the princess disappear quietly in the capital. At that time, as long as the princess can't find where the princess is, the emperor's plan will naturally be unreasonable." It will happen."

He didn't say anything more about the rest, and just left.

Wei Zhongxian followed the emperor quietly and said, "The Queen Mother is here."

Zhu Qizhen seemed to know it a long time ago, and walked straight into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw the Queen Mother sitting leisurely on the main seat.

"Mother."

Zhu Qizhen had a smile on his face. The Sun family has settled down a lot in the past few days, and the relationship between the two mothers and sons has naturally improved a lot, but the Sun family's affairs are fierce, and it is obvious that they will not understand so quickly.

"In the past few days, the emperor's thoughts were all on government affairs. Although the Ai family no longer cares about the affairs of the harem, the emperor knows that the harem should be covered with rain and dew evenly. The Ai family is very relieved."

The queen mother clearly wanted the emperor to give an explanation.

For the matter of Concubine Xiang, the Empress Dowager has already delegated power, but now the emperor is still pursuing the matter of Sun Keqing, obviously he does not take the Empress Dowager seriously.

"Looking at the appearance of the queen mother, Zhaoyi didn't know anything about Sun's family before?"

Zhu Qizhen knew his mother well, if he knew that Sun Keqing was engaged early in the morning, even if the Sun family sent a daughter to the palace, he would not take the risk of sending Sun Keqing in.

Cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, but he learned it from this mother.

"The emperor's words mean that he doesn't trust Aijia anymore?"

Naturally, Zhu Qizhen wouldn't say that in face.

"Mother, you always have to give me an explanation for the affairs of the Sun family. Now that Shangshu Sun has not come to me to explain in a hurry, my son thinks you are nervous about Sun Zhaoyi. If you go one step further, I won't be like this Think about it."

Chapter 319 Sparing No Efforts

The emperor's tone was very flat, but if you listen carefully, you will know that this is a blatant threat.

"Why did Zhan Fei come to the emperor's side? It's better to investigate this matter carefully. The Sun family should be severely punished for concealing such a big matter. It's just that Sun Zhaoyi is still innocent and can't get up in bed. If the emperor If you have time, go and have a look.”

Zhu Qizhen didn't speak, and the queen mother left directly.

Now the things on the surface can be confirmed. The relationship between Sun Keqing and Zhan Fei is not deep, but it is obviously impossible to say that they are just engaged, but they have never met. The young lady of the Sun family who is following him , The mind is far beyond what the people of the Sun family can imagine.

"Your Majesty, after all, Lord Hou is busy with the matter of Longmai, and now the matter of the fox fairy is also raging. If he takes action against the Sun family and the Hou family at this time, I am afraid that the forces arranged by the fox fairy in the rivers and lakes will be destroyed. Even more rampant." Wei Zhongxian didn't know what kind of plan the emperor had in mind.

But today's emperor puts state affairs first, and dragon veins are the emperor's most important thing. At that time, whether he can take a step up in the realm of Zhixuan depends on this.

The mud bodhisattva was finally placed in the palace by the emperor, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng are now whereabouts, there can be no more mistakes.

"A joke about bestowing a marriage can make the princess want to make trouble in the capital. It seems that even my uncle doesn't know that the daughter who has been raised for so many years has long been rebellious." thought."

When Wei Zhongxian, who was following him, heard the emperor say this, he felt a chill down his spine.

Is it difficult?

At the beginning, the emperor just wanted to throw a stone into the calm water. After all, it was always troublesome to ask his own people to check bit by bit. Just when Yuhuatian came back from the country of Wa, he jointly did it. a play.

During these few months of walking, perhaps the people in the capital temporarily forgot what kind of person Yuhuatian was in the past, and the emperor took advantage of the fading of everyone's memory of Xichang to make this matter come true. up.
