Changqing Ci

Hearing Xun Yibai's agreement, Qin Li hurriedly grasped the life-saving straw, wiped the sweat from his head, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my lord, I am just a little girl, and I am not listening to you. Most of the power is in your hands, what are you afraid of, you and Commander Yuan are best friends, orphans and widows are the easiest to deal with."

Xun Yi was really angry. Looking at Qin Li's eyes that seemed to be breathing fire, he clenched his hand behind his back tightly, suppressing his trembling heart, and said coldly: "The Yuan family has always only listened to the king's orders. Could it be that you couldn’t see the imperial guards besieging the Forbidden Palace that day? So what about my best friend, he Yuan Qingming is now under the command of Xun Changqing, Qin Li, if you want to die, don’t drag my entire Pingnan Palace.”

Everyone knows these truths, and this is also the reason why the Yuan family was able to inherit the position of commander of the imperial guards. However, Qin Li will naturally not let go of the tree that can suppress the new emperor. Bai, the latter knew what he meant, and motioned him to be calm.

He still persuaded: "Father, now that the joint letter has been given to you, Xun Changqing is sure that you will not respond, and I also think of you and them as a group in my heart, why don't you use the plan and let her be caught off guard; Yuan Qingming Regardless of court affairs, he is only responsible for the safety of the imperial capital, as long as the emperor is safe, whether the emperor is in charge has nothing to do with him, and he will not intervene to stop it."

"Yes, my lord, if you miss this opportunity, there will be nothing. Above the court, the wind and rain are changing. Today you don't know what will happen tomorrow. You are merciful today. How do you know that the little emperor will not attack the palace because of his old love, and you are now Excessive power will only make her do things like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges."

Qin Li's urgent voice kept Xun Yi silent. He turned his back to the two of them, making Xun Yibai unable to see his expression clearly. He thought that he was already tempted, so he stepped up his persuasion: "Father, Prime Minister Qin is right, you If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone. Everyone in the court knows that the emperor originally passed on to you, but now it has been replaced by Xun Changqing, but they don't know what she did in it..."

"Yibai," Xun Yi abruptly interrupted him, raised his head to look at the beams and pillars above his head, his chest and lungs seemed to be suppressed, and he couldn't breathe, "This is the end of this matter, you send Prime Minister Qin out of the mansion, This king knows how to act."

"My lord..."

"Father..."

The two called out in unison, and seeing Xun Yi turned around and left the study, he didn't even care about the bitter words of the two of them.

Xun Yibai and Qin Li looked at each other in dismay. After being startled, they felt weak all over. Xun Yibai had no choice but to invite Qin Li out of the mansion first. The two walked out along the gravel road. They suddenly felt hot in summer, presumably during a thunderstorm. Without the sun, the temperature is extremely high.

The sun outside the house was like flames, and the scorching heat almost covered him. Qin Li's whole body was like washing with water, and his heart was terrified. Such a great opportunity, afraid of such a little girl, is also unexpected, he secretly annoyed, and sighed helplessly: "Second son, you see, in two days, the late emperor's coffin will be sent to Huang Ling, please persuade the prince again, our lives are small, and the future of the Pingnan Palace is at stake."

Xun Yibai's face was also ugly, and it was aggrieved to let him be subdued by a little girl, but now that his father is here, there is absolutely no reason for him to make decisions without authorization, and his heart twitched, saying: "I can't, after all, my father loves you." Look at Liu Ying, she is dead, and I can't compete with her."

When Qin Li heard about the affairs in the palace, he couldn't help but wonder: "Who is Liu Ying? Have you checked before? Most of the bloodlines of the women in the outer room are suspicious, but the prince has never been suspicious?"

Xun Yibai didn't take it seriously, "I was only ten years old at the time, so I didn't know the details. Besides, we were in the southwest, but I just heard about it from my father. Liu Ying and my father have been together for more than ten years, but there is something wrong."

In the shady place under the tree, the breeze blew slowly, Qin Li smiled and said: "You also said that the dead can't fight, but the dead can't speak, can't argue, if there is a mistake, the prince will still protect the little emperor like this ?”

At this point, Xun Yibai's face turned cold, he calculated Xun Yi, and he didn't dare to give him a few courages. He didn't answer Qin Li, but just walked forward in a daze, but the position of the prince that was at his fingertips was far away because of Xun Changqing. Go, it's false if he doesn't resent in his heart, and Qin Li uses his resentment to provoke him.

He is not a blind and brainless person, and his family members don't know how to calculate. He has no relationship with Xun Changqing. She was born more than ten years ago, but only met; Puppet Emperor.

When he was leaving the mansion, he met the concubine Shizi again. Seeing the two coming out at the same time, he asked the nanny to carry the child back first, and greeted him, "Second brother, uncle."

An uncle made Qin Li show off his face slightly. Both of them were surnamed Qin and hadn't been married yet, and Qin Jingyu is the concubine of the world. It is also beneficial to have a relationship. After all, it is not easy to get married with Xun Yi.

He seized the opportunity and said: "Concubine Shizi, the truth has just come out from the prince, so I went back first." Before leaving, he glanced at Xun Yibai, which had a long meaning.

Qin Jingyu naturally didn't know the implied meaning, but she was aware of what had happened recently, the noble lady of the imperial capital first complimented her when she saw her, saying that there was a golden phoenix in the Pingnan Palace, which was comparable to a dragon and ascended the throne.

She squeezed the handkerchief to accept these ironic congratulations. She originally thought that when Xun Yi ascended the throne, her son could fight for the position of crown prince. lost all hope.

The position of concubine will not be kept after all, not to mention the position of crown prince, I am afraid that the throne will be taken away by the second wife, she glanced at Xun Yibai with hatred, and said with a smile on her face: "Second brother, I seem to have seen my father just now I went to the ancestral hall, and I went to mourn Liu Ying again. I don't think the father will resign in the near future. After all, the new emperor ascends the throne at this time, and he needs to delegate power. He can't let others laugh at him for stealing his daughter's things. "

Xun Yibai snorted coldly, straightened his robes, "Sister-in-law forgot, Xun Changqing is not the daughter of the Pingnan Palace, and has nothing to do with my father, you and me, blood relationship is very slim in front of the imperial power very."

Qin Jingyu lowered his head and adjusted his clothes. He really didn't know why that crying little girl was so lucky to become the emperor. If she really came to power in the future, would she turn around and trouble her? After all, the rumors at that time were also her fate. People passed it on.But think about it again, as long as Xun Yi is here, she will not tolerate others to touch her; but if Xun Yi resigns, then she is not at the mercy of others.

After thinking about it, she also walked out of the mansion. No matter what, Xun Yi cannot be resigned!

......................................................

The night is greasy, the wind is long, the greenery stains the screen window, the branches shake the wind, and it is cooler than the daytime.

Outside the Huaqing Palace, on the Jiuqu Bridge, Xun Changqing sat on the steps, beside Zijin was holding a candle, the shadow of the candle shone brightly, reflecting the surroundings like daylight, and the letter in her hand was also clear, she turned over the After getting all the information, he frowned and said: "It turns out that Qin Li has some relationship with Qin Jingyu's ancestors, and they are considered relatives before the fifth suit."

"What is the relationship between the two? The concubine's mother's family is in the southwest, and she is the governor of a state. It has nothing to do with Qin Li of the Imperial Capital..."

Xun Changqing waved his hand to signal her to stop, and thought for a long time with his chin resting on his shoulders, and said, "It's a family before five clothes, so it's more convenient to do things like this."

Her eyes were calm, and she opened the joint book in Bai Rili. The name of Qin Li on it was outlined by a cinnabar pen, which became more obvious. Her thoughts were a little confused. She waved back Zijin, and put the candlestick on the stone steps by herself. , the sky was as foggy as fog, and tonight would be a sleepless night again, just like she was in prison in her previous life.

But this time she is the one who holds the power, she tilts her head and looks at the candle beside her, burning bright red fireworks like seductive eyes, but she is the only one who can illuminate in the dark.Just like going to court, even though some methods may seem dangerous to outsiders, they are still the best way to solve the predicament.

Now that she has taken over the throne, she will not be as pure as the white lotus beside her. Neither Xun Yi nor the Pingnan Palace will be her strong backing. The only one she believes in is herself. I want to train her, if I can't even solve the immediate difficulties, how to execute the major state affairs in the future.

What's even more hateful is Wei Lingci, who even avoids her. When she enters the palace, he will definitely settle accounts with her.

She couldn't help cursing a few words, but she couldn't help thinking about it after a while. She shook her head, tried to drive the shadow of the liar out of her head, packed up the things on the steps, and ordered someone to take the candle back palace.

When she returned to the main hall, Concubine Xian Gui was already kneeling there, she hurriedly handed over the things in her hand to Zi Jin, walked closer, saluted and said: "Madam, when did you come here, are you feeling better?"

It stands to reason that Xun Changqing should change her name, but she called her empress like someone else, and Concubine Xian couldn't argue with her, she just stood up holding her hand, some words could not be mentioned in front of the late emperor's coffin, so she held her hand. After staying in Changqing for a long time, he went out, walked to the bridge, and drove away all the palace people.

She said: "Changqing, I have already heard about the joint book, but how can you be sure about it? Xun Yi will definitely not move at this time, but you should be careful not to embarrass him too much."

The moon in the lake is beautiful, the shimmering color, the moonlight in the lotus pond, like the scenery of the folk fields, if there is no royal power struggle, enjoying the scenery at this time will also make people feel refreshed and linger.

Xun Changqing was held by her hand, the uneasiness in his heart subsided a little, and he replied: "I already know how to do things, but let's kill chickens and monkeys to scare the restless people, I don't need to come forward, just let King Pingnan do it, Right now I am not enthroned, and I have no power in my hands, so I have to let him do it."

It is a good thing that the new emperor does not show up, but how can Xun Yi be obedient?

Concubine Xiangui was puzzled, but she did not continue to ask. Her confident appearance made people really feel at ease. She said: "It was a good decision for the first emperor to choose you. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it is natural that the court should be changed. While no one is talking about it right now, what needs to be changed must be changed."

This is like saying clothes. It’s the Chinese New Year, and the old clothes that don’t fit should be thrown away, so that there is a spare wardrobe for new clothes.

Xun Changqing couldn't help but glance sideways, "Aren't you afraid that I will arouse the anger of the crowd?"

After all, the new emperor was like this at the beginning, which easily aroused the anger of the courtiers, not to mention that Xun Changqing had already made everyone dissatisfied, so it would only add fuel to the fire.

Just now, his expression looked a little like an emperor, but now he tilted his head and looked like a child thirsty for knowledge. Concubine Xian felt that she was very cute, and her heart was ghostly, but she was as clear as clear water. She couldn't help but clenched Xun Changqing's hand, "Changqing, you are the emperor now, don't be intimidated. Qin Li already knew about this matter and you learned about it. You need to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise the disaster will spread and it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Xun Changqing nodded, "Then I will order people to do it immediately. If Qin Li is captured, those people will be much more peaceful."

Concubine Xiangui held her back and asked, "It's easy to capture Qin Li, but the key lies in the vacated position of Prime Minister, who do you prefer?"

Under the moonlight, the cheeks that were as white as jade suddenly turned red, and the dim and clean eyes glowed with a gleam of brilliance. Before Xun Changqing could say anything, Concubine Xian understood, and sighed: "I'm afraid there is only her at the moment." It's appropriate, it's not too abrupt to be regarded as an emperor teacher now, it's just a matter of grasping the timing."

This is to agree with her. After Xun Changqing saluted slightly, he ordered Zijin to send the information just now to Xun Yi.

Starfire night, extremely difficult to sleep.

The Qin Mansion was turned upside down overnight by the imperial guards, the servants were frightened and fled, and the master was arrested and imprisoned.

When people passed by the Qin Mansion in the morning, a seal had already been pasted on the gate, and there were soldiers guarding the gate. It was cold and terrifying. On a summer morning, there was an inexplicable chill.

When the news reached the princess' mansion, Wei Ling had just begun to speak, and before combing his long hair, he put down the wooden comb and stood up abruptly, "Who ordered the capture?"

Xun Changqing had the right to summon the imperial guards, but at this time, it would be too hasty to depose the left minister before the late emperor's coffin left the imperial capital, and it was not a good thing for her.

Xianyun also came back from the palace, and naturally had the most accurate news in his hand, "It's an order from the prince."

Wei Ling's words were even more puzzled, Mo Rudie's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Do you know what the crime is?"

"Bewitching words will confuse the public and bring chaos to the court."

The short horoscope is not a small crime, and it is enough to make Qin Li's family guilty. Wei Ling frowned, "Why is it this crime? If the joint letter is exposed, then half of the courtiers will be convicted. With such an urgent time, Why did your lord do this?"

Xianyun shook his head, "It's not a joint book, it's a rumor from the imperial capital before, criticizing the matter of Princess Xiang'an, and now the princess is the new emperor, so she is connected with the court. The prince personally went to arrest people. It is said that Qin Li threatened to wrong him. , but now no one dares to intervene in this matter.”

Wei Lingci shook his head slightly, the rumor was caused by Qin Jingyu, and now Xun Yi put it on Qin Li's head, although it was an innocent disaster, but after the joint letter, those who dissatisfied with the new emperor in the court may not dare to act as an act Qin Li begged for mercy, knowing that the new emperor had a handle on them, so he would naturally be obedient.

After Xun Yi went through this incident, in order to protect Qin Jingyu, the eldest daughter-in-law, he also offended others. In the eyes of everyone, he had his heart for the new emperor and eliminated all disobedience.

Xun Changqing's approach was somewhat vicious, but the effect was the best. Wei Lingci let out a long breath, and waited until tomorrow to send the late emperor's coffin to the imperial mausoleum, and the new emperor will ascend the throne tomorrow.

................................................

On a scorching hot day, the officials sent the late emperor's coffin to the imperial mausoleum, leaving a few guardians behind to return to Beijing.Princess Ning'an left her daughter behind and stayed in the imperial tomb with a few people.

Wei Lingci didn't persuade him, and only left a few servants with kung fu to guard them, and returned to Beijing with the team.

After two days of sweltering heat, the torrential rain finally hit the imperial capital, and the air was filled with fresh air after the rain. When the people and horses returned to the capital, most of them walked in the rain, but after returning to the capital, they couldn't care less about repairing and were busy with the new emperor's enthronement.

The rain in summer comes and goes quickly, and at night, the rain has stopped, the starry sky is dim, there is no moon and no stars.

Huaqing Palace is the emperor's residence, but because the first emperor had just passed away, it had to be repaired before he could move in. Xun Changqing lived in Qianqiu Palace with the concubine Xiangui.

Most of the childless concubines in the palace have been moved out of the palace and went to the royal temple; although the fifth prince is stupid, he has already grown up, and he should go to the fief soon, and there are only a few masters in the huge harem.

After Wei Ling returned home, he changed into clean clothes and stepped into Qianqiu Hall.

At that time, Xun Changqing was sitting on the couch, flipping through some urgent reports from all over the world. Some urgently needed to be dealt with, so the palace servants sent them to her. Xun Yi didn't care about these days, after all, the new emperor had already established , living in the palace alive and kicking, no longer unable to stay in bed due to illnesses like the late emperor.

Zijin stood outside the door, saw that it was Wei Ling's words, but did not announce it.But after the sound of footsteps, Xun Changqing raised his head, raised his eyes to look at her, and accepted her arrival with cold eyes, but the ice and snow eyes were brighter, "You are here, I thought you didn't plan to step into this world in this life." This is the gate of the palace."

After becoming an emperor, even the tone of her speech was different from the past. Wei Lingci felt that she still preferred the soft and coquettish voice of Xun Changchang before. After she walked closer, she said lightly: "Then I will go back?"

Turning around and leaving, the person on the couch behind her jumped down. The feeling of grievance for several days suddenly exploded to the highest point, and she couldn't suppress it anymore. She said, "Wei Lingci, stop and take another step. Believe it or not I will demolish your princess mansion."
