It is difficult for the ministers! [system]

The moment Li Tang stepped into Kangzhuang Palace, she looked at the queen mother on the phoenix seat who received greetings from the concubines every day, and then stayed silently behind the scenes, and then stood up after watching the queen mother dismiss the other women of the emperor father.

On the phoenix seat, there is a woman who is very dignified and respectful to the world. She is wearing a gold and silver phoenix court dress mainly in red and yellow.Tail skirt with gown, long and elegant.

She is Queen Zhao of Kangzhuang, the biological mother of Li Tang and Li Gao, and the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It was rare for Empress Zhao to see her daughter whom she had not seen for a long time. She said affectionately, "Tangtang."

He called her baby name when he opened his mouth.

Li Tang: ...

Li Tang walked out helplessly. She was beautiful and majestic. She was wearing a blue and white phoenix official gown. The sleeves were lightly patterned with egrets. She looked like a wild crane, and her skirt was long. , but it does not touch the ground, like a cloud hanging in the air.

"The queen mother should call my son Chen Xiaotang."

Empress Zhao smiled, and she said: "This is your baby name when you were a child. Don't tell me, don't you let your mother call you that? Sure enough, when the child grows up, he won't kiss his parents anymore."

Li Tang looked helplessly at his mother pretending to cry, knowing that she did it on purpose, but she was still helpless.

She said: "Queen mother, what can I do to call my son?"

Queen Zhao didn't seem to want to talk about other things so directly, as if the mother and daughter had to have something to get along with each other.

It makes people feel unfamiliar.

Empress Zhao sighed a little and said, "Can't we be alone with Tangtang if we don't have anything to do?"

Li Tang said: "The queen mother must have heard about the son, and about the relationship between Xiao Yunfei and the son."

Presumably the mother, as a daughter, is much more decisive, she does everything swiftly and decisively, straight to the point, making it impossible for people to avoid it.Therefore, Empress Zhao often has the urge to regret giving her daughter to His Majesty for education.

Empress Zhao had no choice but to follow her words: "A few days ago, your elder brother wrote about it, but the empress thought he was talking nonsense again, unexpectedly, this time it is true."

Li Tang saw that her mother had a sad expression when she spoke, she said a little later: "Mother, child."

Empress Zhao waved her hands to tell Li Tang not to worry, she said: "No need to say much, I will call Xiao Yunfei into the palace in a few days, the empress mother wants to see her, how can she be so talented that she has attracted my daughter."

It seems that Xiao Yunfei still has to do it himself.

Li Tang readily accepted, "No."

Empress Zhao saw that her daughter was obviously in a happy mood, and she was even more appetizing: "And your grandmother, you should go and see her old man, so that she won't worry about you again."

Li Tang nodded and said, "I understand."

As soon as the words fell, the mother and daughter stopped talking for a while, and didn't know how to communicate for a while.

This made Empress Zhao feel even more sad. She cared more about this matter than her daughter's sweetheart.

She said: "Apart from this matter, don't you have anything else to say about yourself to your mother?"

Li Tang's reaction was somewhat similar to Emperor Mingguang's. Once, when Emperor Mingguang was thinking about something, he didn't have any topics to talk to the queen, and he would only talk to her in a questioning tone with doubts: "Huh?"

Empress Zhao said helplessly: "You and your father are at a disadvantage in the recent game, do you need your mother to help you?"

Said the queen winked playfully.

Li Tang: ...

Empress Kangzhuang has always been in a state of watching the fight between Emperor Mingguang and Li Tang. If it was someone else's mother, she would definitely persuade the two to reconcile, but she is different. The foot disrupted the battle between father and daughter.Let Emperor Mingguang have no choice but to put Li Tang in a passive position.

In short, the father and daughter will always back down a few steps because of the queen. As long as she doesn't intervene frequently, those who should back down will still back down.

Fortunately, Empress Kangzhuang knows current affairs and knows when to intersperse the grievances and resentments between father and daughter, so that they will not have too much impact. The turning point of affection.

Empress Zhao seemed to have remembered something.

She curiously said, "By the way, Tangtang."

"Mother's queen..." Li Tang reminded his mother helplessly not to use her baby name anymore.

Empress Kang Zhuang smiled kindly: "Has the Empress Dowager started working on your affairs again?"

Li Tang hesitated for a moment, but she still firmed up her attitude and said, "I, I will handle it."

In fact, the Queen still inquired a lot about her daughter's affairs in secret. She was not one of those real boudoir fools who stayed out of the house, and even her mind was bored.

On the contrary, Empress Zhao actually still has a lot of her own thoughts and ideas, and even as long as she cares about her daughter, she will definitely inquire about Li Tang's affairs.

Empress Zhao knew that her daughter had always had a hurdle in her heart, so she comforted her daughter and said: "My mother knows that you have always been very guilty of the death of the three hundred soldiers in the six counties of Bingzhou, and you have not been able to get out of that shadow. Children, hey, after all, they were orphans you raised since you were young, and grew up with you, now, there are only dozens of Wei family members left."

Li Tang was slightly taken aback, her eyes darkened a bit, and said: "It's my son's fault, so far no evidence has been found, and no one to suspect."

Queen Zhao asked again: "Do you think Xiao Yunfei can find him? Tangtang."

Li Tang herself is not sure about this matter, she not only handed it over to Xiao Yunfei, as long as she can help, she will spread it.

She said: "Did the queen mother know that the son has already handed over the death list to Xiao Yunfei? Yes, the son hopes to cast an extra net, even if it is a drop in the bucket, there will always be something to gain."

After listening to Queen Zhao, she thought that her daughter still overlooked a small detail, or rather, this detail made people afraid to face it.

She said: "You will bring her danger."

Li Tang showed a hint of surprise, as if wondering why his mother would say such warning words, and even raised her voice unconsciously.More worried about Xiao Yunfei.

She said: "Mother?!"

Empress Zhao has been in the harem for many years, and she knows very well that her daughter doesn't understand the harem, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand the harem, and the mother queen who once ascended from the harem.

Perhaps it was because of the lack of contact that the daughter ignored this point.

Empress Zhao reminded: "Xiao Yunfei can't be found out. The queen mother doesn't know, but Xiao Yunfei has been targeted by the queen mother. You have to remind her well, don't go to the riverside and less crowded, remote places." place."

"Your imperial grandmother has always been good at handling these cases."

There is something in the words, clearly implying that the queen mother was good at all kinds of tricks and assassinations in the past. Although it is unsightly, the effect is amazing. As long as the queen mother is not dead and wants to seize power, she will not give up using everything, including her valued granddaughter.

In fact, the former Empress Dowager Zhao fought with Emperor Mingguang for the custody of Li Tang, and wanted to train Li Tang to be her successor, but Emperor Mingguang knew his mother's ambition secretly.So he arranged Li Tang under his knees early on, and then married off the princesses, and the princes, except for the seventh prince and the crown prince, all were sent out by Emperor Mingguang.

The Empress Dowager Zhao was unable to do anything with her own heirs. Now there are very few young children born in the palace. Emperor Mingguang has entered middle age. He doesn't care whether he has heirs or not. He already has more than a dozen children, which is completely enough .

The Queen Mother wanted to get Li Tang's idea, but also King An's idea several times. She once wanted to make her Zhao family's niece into King An's concubine, and wanted to use her niece's hand to control the weak and deceitful King An. In the end, the Queen intervened again. She took the initiative to contact the Queen of Qingyun Country, hoping to marry her. Unexpectedly, the queen of Qingyun Country actually agreed to it just because of a contact.

He also sent his eldest princess to marry. After Mingguang Emperor heard about this, he took the initiative to grant the capital to the king. There was also an edict that as long as Wang Jun gave birth to an heir, no matter male or female, he could inherit the title of King An.On the side, Li Mo, the owner of Lixiang County, may be Queen An in the future. She is destined to be different from ordinary princesses from birth.Therefore, when Li Mo caused troubles in the capital, many princes and nobles dared not speak up, mostly because they came here, because the princess in front of him might be another prince in the future.

Although there is no precedent for a queen in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the most important thing is that his mother is honorable. Having the title of king is equivalent to forming a century-old friendly leader with Qingyun Kingdom.

Even if Li Mo went to Qingyun Kingdom in the end, her status would still be elevated, and she could even become a princess who could inherit the throne.

It was only then that Li Tang realized that he might have handed over a disaster to Xiao Yunfei from the very beginning, which would have an impact on her future.

Now she can only ask her mother for help in order to help her back, and said: "Mother, the emperor's grandmother, I hope you can take care of Xiao Yunfei. As for other matters, I will handle it myself."

Empress Zhao looked at Li Tang's pretty face full of worries about Xiao Yunfei, she suddenly sighed again: "Hey, Tangtang, it seems that you really like Xiao Yunfei."

Li Tang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes..."

She didn't hide that she really liked Xiao Yunfei.I like it very much.I want to spend my whole life with her.Now that her mother asked that, she would naturally boldly admit her feelings for her.

This fact surprised Empress Zhao, she never thought that her daughter's courage would allow her to actively pursue someone for love.

Queen Zhao laughed and said, "You actually admitted it openly. Is this the queen mother's daughter who likes to keep everything in her heart?"

Li Tang couldn't help but blush a little, she said: "Queen Mother, don't tease my servant."

Empress Zhao said: "It's just that I have never met Xiao Yunfei before, but I have heard that this young man is smart, he likes to play tricks, and he uses some shady tricks to get in the position and win your father's favor. Even the King of Shu has always Holding my breath, I wrote a letter to my mother to complain about her."

"It sounds like she's quite hated."

Li Tang maintained a biased attitude, and she even agreed with Xiao Yunfei's approach.

She said very rationally: "In the officialdom, it is inevitable to make enemies. The queen mother should know that the situation in the court is changing rapidly, and those who can seize the opportunity are talents and can be used by the royal family. Naturally, those who are eliminated are resentful. You can’t be satisfied, and it’s hard to reflect on your own problems.”

Empress Zhao didn't get in touch with the court affairs very often, so she said: "Well, just don't expect too many things that the empress mother can intervene in."

Li Tang saluted in a correct and elegant manner: "I thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Zhao was a little speechless about her insistence on court etiquette. She turned her head and thought of her youngest son who was obviously unhappy last night.

Empress Zhao had no choice but to remind: "By the way, there is also Gao'er. You remember, coax him. After the child found out about you, he seemed to have been hit hard. And he has been listening to you since he was a child." Your deeds have grown up, and you have been regarded as a role model, a figure for him to emulate."

"Now I heard that you have intended to get married, and the object is still his... Anyway, go and see him when you have time."

Li Tang nodded and said, "No."

Parents always have all kinds of instructions, and Rao, the mother of a country, is no exception.

Empress Zhao reminded again: "There is also Xiao Yunfei, whose current status is not high or low, and this palace has some unspeakable secrets in her heart. If she is not suitable for an official, it will be easier to ask your father to inherit the title as soon as possible." Infected in that smoky place."

That smoggy place is naturally the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is now completely monopolized by Shangshu, leaving only one right hall, which seems to be in jeopardy.

From Empress Kangzhuang's point of view, Xiao Yunfei is in a weak position. If she doesn't show up, it may be difficult to get her approval.

Facing this future mother-in-law, it seems that Xiao Yunfei still has many tests to go through.

But Li Tang said with a confident smile: "She will surprise the queen mother soon."

"Then wait and see."

at the same time.

Xiao Yunfei is still in the Ministry of War to command the officers and soldiers to practice. Recently, she is really panicked, and there is no news from the palace.She hadn't slept well for two days, and she sat up startled in the middle of the night, thinking that the palace sent someone to arrest her.Or choose someone else for Li Tang's marriage.

She was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat every time, and after changing several clothes, the servants and maids of Lian Xiao's mansion secretly felt that the master had finally grown up.That's why I changed so many clothes.Even Wu Cai and several relatives hinted whether they wanted to accompany the room girl.

In the mansion, there were actually maids wearing gauze skirts trying to seduce her, Xiao Yunfei was so angry that he kicked them all out.No matter what, he always creates small troubles for himself to bother her at critical moments.

She hadn't seen Li Tang for two days, and she missed Li Tang more and more, but she couldn't find Li Tang.

Xiao Yunfei was very impatient staying in the mansion, she thought about it, and there was no way to go on like this.She had to find someone to take her breath away.Just take Zuo Anming to practice, and then test him first.

Xiao Yunfei changed into an official robe and planned to go to the Ministry of War for more meetings, using work to kill herself, so as not to make trouble. ""

When she just went out, two sedan chairs had fallen down at the gate of the mansion, and Zuo Anming walked out of the sedan chairs.

The current Zuo Anming has a polite smile on his face: "Master Xiao, do you want to go to the Ministry of War together?"

Xiao Yunfei said: "Lord Zuo, why are you free today? We are colleagues, why not go to Xinghualou to have a drink and get together? We can also chat to show the friendship between departments."

Zuo Anming continued to invite: "To be honest, Zuo has to accompany Master Shangshu to handle some official business recently, so he did not accept Master Xiao's invitation. In the future, I will definitely make amends in person, but I still ask Master Xiao to move now. Lord Shangshu please."

Liu Shoucheng?What did the old guy want her for?

It just so happened that I had other plans, so let's see what he wants to do now?When Xiao Yunfei just opened his mouth to agree, soon a sedan chair also landed nearby, and the person who came out was Steward Zhao.

Butler Zhao hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao, our master has urgent matters to invite you to come over."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Anming's face changed, it could be said that it turned pale, as if he had lost some great opportunity.It looks like a mourning concubine.

Xiao Yunfei quickly cooperated with Steward Zhao and said, "Ms. Zhao has an invitation, how dare I not go? Let's go."

Zuo Anming suddenly said anxiously: "That Lord Xiao, me."

She refused politely and said: "Master Shangshu didn't invite me because of official business, but Mr. Zhao invited me because of official business. When Xiao handles official business, he will visit Lord Shangshu."

Speaking of which, Xiao Yunfei got on her own sedan chair and asked the bearer to carry her to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing that Xiao Yunfei didn't give him a chance to speak at all, Zuo Anming's face was already very ugly.Afterwards, he stood with his head down for a while as if discouraged, watching the two sedan chairs disappear from his sight, Zuo Anming was not reconciled, and became resentful.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe it, he was just abandoned by Master Shang Shu! !

He must save his future, and he cannot let the position he has worked so hard for for more than ten years be surrendered.

At this moment, the two sedan chairs have just arrived at the prime minister's mansion.

Xiao Yunfei walked to the backyard with ease, and she saw Zhao Kan who was still taking care of the flowers and plants. He was more sincere to the flowers and plants than to people.

Xiao Yunfei has to sigh, the charm of nature will always make a complicated person fade away the scheming accumulated in the world and cultivate his sentiment.

She bent down and said politely: "Students see the Prime Minister."

Zhao Kan put down the shower, seemed very happy to see her, he laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, I haven't seen you in half a month, Yun Fei is still radiant."

Xiao Yunfei said: "Where is it? It is the students who see that you are happy, Mr. Xiang, so that they have this energetic look."

Zhao Kan pushed the chair over. It was an ordinary bamboo chair, and there were a bunch of unfinished semi-finished products beside it. It seemed that Zhao Kan made the stool himself.

After Xiao Yunfei sat down, a servant brought over a cup of tea.

Xiao Yunfei took a sip and put it on the tea table.

Zhao Kan sat at the tea table opposite and asked her, "Don't be polite, sit down and tell the truth about your adventures in Lin'an."

She said: "It's not really an adventure, it's just taking advantage of someone's danger."

Immediately, Xiao Yunfei told Zhao Kan part of the real situation and crisis, without concealing anything, but she just didn't say what should be said.

Some things don't need to be said so clearly.

Zhao Kan could tell that the young man in front of him, whether it was her eyes or her demeanor, was different from the way she swore in front of him that she wanted to marry Guantao.She became more mature and restrained.In addition, most of the things she said are true, but the really important things are still hidden.

Sure enough, this son could be of great use, even with extraordinary potential.

Zhao Kan asked intentionally: "The old man heard that you brought her back too."

Xiao Yunfei said generously, "Is it Boss Hua?"

Zhao Kan said: "Your Majesty's people who stay in Lin'an, if you bring them back rashly, aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"

Xiao Yunfei still said generously: "This, the student has thought about it, but in order to fulfill the promise, it is better to bring him back. If His Majesty blames me then, I can only plead guilty."

The obvious words made Zhao Kan take a few glances at her.

He said: "You are much more courageous, that woman is untrustworthy."

"Mr. Xiang, why bother with a woman, after all, it's just a woman." Xiao Yunfei assumed an arrogant and reasonable attitude, as if she really disdain Hua Shuiyan, but disappeared in a blink of an eye up.

This touch of emotion fell into Zhao Kan's eyes. I don't know if it's true or not, but Zhao Kan did see it.It seemed that Zhao Kan saw a familiar shadow.Who is it?

Zhao Kan was stunned for a moment and realized that it was Mrs. Xiao.

And Xiao Yunfei didn't know at all about her current words and deeds, as well as her style of leaving messages, faintly revealing the breath of the previous generation.

She continued: "When the students came to Xiangye just now, I didn't expect Master Shangshu to invite me too. I was really surprised by this."

Zhao Kan raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. He took a breath to enjoy the heat of the tea, and then said: "Liu Shoucheng wants to be a middleman, and wants to balance the grudge between you and Zuo Anming."

Xiao Yunfei also picked up the teacup and began to drink. Feeling that her mouth was tasteless, she simply squeezed a piece of snack.She said: "Hehe, it seems to be leveling, but it is Liu Shoucheng who is justifying himself, but poor Zuo Anming is confused and knows in his heart that he is about to be thrown out by Liu Shoucheng as an abandoned child."

Zhao Kan said: "It seems that you have almost done the investigation."

When Xiao Yunfei thought about Yiqu, she said with a cautious expression, "If the student hadn't been wearing soft armor in Yiqu's hunting ground, the student might have died."

Zhao Kan said again: "Do you want to meet the murderer who assassinated you?"

Xiao Yunfei said: "No need, it's just an ant. Most likely it has already been dealt with by Liu Shoucheng."

What she thought was reasonable, Zhao Kan didn't refute him, because he didn't investigate, and what he said just now, he was just talking.

Zhao Kan said: "What should you do next? How to deal with Liu Shoucheng?"

Xiao Yunfei made a mysterious question: "Then Xiangye, guess what?"

Zhao Kan just opened his eyes and closed his eyes. Although he smiled like a joke, what he said was not vague at all.He said: "The truth guesses that you will start with Zuo Anming, use his mouth to report Liu Shoucheng, and then present the evidence that the truth gave you."

Xiao Yunfei immediately clasped her fists and praised: "The Prime Minister is really good at predicting things, and the students have already planned to expose this matter at the right time."

"Oh." To this, the old fox just replied softly, and didn't say anything about it, but he was silent.It was just this moment of silence that made Xiao Yunfei notice his emotions.

Because the old fox was always smiling, once he stopped smiling, he was serious.Even for a moment.

It seems that the old thing has other interests and actions.But not only pointing at her, he, Zhao Kan, can form beneficial cooperation with anyone in many ways, she can, including... Liu Shoucheng.

In an instant, Xiao Yunfei became even more determined that Liu Shoucheng had to get off the horse within three days, otherwise if Zhao Kan intervened, the matter would be more complicated. Maybe Liu Shoucheng would not be resigned because of the criminal evidence, but would be able to strike later.

This fleeting political sensitivity accelerated in front of Zhao Kan, causing Xiao Yunfei to gradually turn the finger, and a warning finger began to be aimed at Zhao Kan. . .

The author has something to say: Grass: Before dealing with Liu Shoucheng, he was thinking about dealing with Zhao Xiang.You will not swell.

Xiao Yunfei is suspicious: The sixth sense tells me that the old thing is going to attack me! !
