Empress and concubine

The sound of footsteps sounded behind Han Yu, and she didn't turn her head, because she knew that the matter had settled down, and whether she turned back or not, it wouldn't make much difference.

Hearing the screams from inside, Aunt Wan stood on the porch and looked at Xia Yunjing.

Xia Yunjing didn't stay with Chu Yao for long, so he came quite early. It can be said that he heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Han Yu from beginning to end.If it is true, Xia Yunjing really has no ill feeling towards Han Yu. What Han Yu said was what Xia Yunjing himself wanted to say to the Queen Mother, but who is Xia Yunjing? It's crazy.The thinking of a lunatic cannot be understood by ordinary people's thinking. He didn't ask Han Yu to say those words, but Han Yu just tore up all the pretense, exposed all the selfishness of the queen mother to the sun, and made everyone outside I heard.

Sensing the indiscriminate murderous intent on Xia Yunjing, Aunt Wan couldn't help but tremble. Ever since she heard the Queen Mother's crazy words, she knew that she couldn't stay.All the people in this courtyard will be buried with the Queen Mother.

"Saint," Wan Gugu took two steps forward and knelt down towards Xia Yunjing, "If you don't take good care of the Empress Dowager, the maidservant should be punished for the first crime, and you should go down with the empress to make up for it. It's just that the maidservant probably won't see the day when the Li Kingdom's royal family is destroyed. The slaves don’t ask for anything else, they just ask the sage to send a palace man to tell the slaves after the annexation of the Li country, so that the slaves can rest under the Nine Springs.”

Hearing this, Xia Yunjing looked at Aunt Wan with a gloomy expression for a while, and finally nodded, "After I annexed the Li Kingdom, I will order people to retry the major unjust, false and wrong cases of the Li Kingdom. In the world, I can see your Wan family come back in glory."

"The sage is merciful," Aunt Wan was satisfied when she heard this sentence, because she happened to know that a descendant of the Wan family was still alive, and that was a man, a capable man.Aunt Wan kowtowed to Xia Yunjing, this kowtow was extremely devout and sincere.

Aunt Wan didn't wait for Xia Yunjing to call her, she took care of herself, and then entered the empress dowager's bedroom.

When Aunt Wan came in, Han Yu was holding a dagger to confront the others.Han Yu was not willing to end her life like this, not only because she still had unfulfilled ambitions, but also if she was gone like this, Da Xia would push everything on Li Guo and find someone else who could stand up. Because of this reason, Da Xia can openly march north in the name of justice.Today's Li country is no longer the bloody Li country of the past.The century-old Wu Nong's soft words made the entire Li country drunk in the gentle township. Once Da Xia went north at this time, the Li country would not be able to cope with it.unless……

Han Yu turned his eyes, and then fell into despair again, unless Feng Xiang can do his best to plan for Li Guo, or has an enemy, but how is it possible.Not to mention that Feng Xiang is often jealous and restricted everywhere, but the fact that his father did not dare to hand over the power of Li Guo to Feng Xiang is enough to make Feng Xiang unwilling to work hard for Li Guo.Not to mention that Feng Xiang's only daughter, Feng Xiao, is now the concubine of Daxia Shu, and she once educated the prince of Daxia. If there is no accident, it can be predicted that after Feng's surrender to Daxia, she will be favored by two generations of emperors of Daxia.With such a comparison, who doesn't know how to choose.

After Aunt Wan came in, she was not afraid of the sharp weapon in Han Yu's hand, she only looked at the queen mother who was lying on the ground, and she trembled unconsciously, and walked over step by step.

Aunt Wan's actions obviously touched Han Yu's bottom line, Han Yu waved a sharp knife at Aunt Wan, "Don't come here, don't come here."

Aunt Wan just pretended not to hear, and continued walking on her own until Han Yu couldn't bear it any longer and stabbed the sharp knife into Aunt Wan's chest. Bitter hatred.Han Yu thought that Aunt Wan was a true loyal servant, but only Aunt Wan knew that she was hating Han Yu's father through Han Yu.Aunt Wan opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything to Han Yu, but fixed her eyes on the Queen Mother.

Aunt Wan struggled to push Han Yu away, and fell down near the Queen Mother. Then Aunt Wan climbed to the Queen Mother's side with difficulty, reached out her hand and closed the Queen Mother's eyes, "Everything is the fault of the servant girl. Wait on the Naihe Bridge, and the servants will come down to accompany you, so that you will not be so lonely." After saying that, Aunt Wan just left.

Xia Yunjing led his bodyguards to appear from behind the crowd, and shouted, "These villains should not be killed on the spot."

A group of guards stepped forward and killed Han Yu on the spot. Only then did everyone react, and they rushed to the Queen Mother and Aunt Wan and began to cry.

"The Empress Dowager has gone, please mourn the saint and take care of the dragon's body," someone persuaded.

Xia Yunjing waved his hand, "It was ordered that the Empress Dowager should rest in the palace for seven days, and then be buried with the late emperor. The whole country will not be allowed to have banquets, banquets, and marriages in March. Aunt Wan is a loyal servant, and she was specially expelled from her slave status. She was named Mrs. Zhuang Wen. The Nine Concubines were buried in the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum. Princess Han of the Li Kingdom had vicious thoughts and killed my Empress Dowager Daxia and her loyal servants. It can be seen that the Li Kingdom has absolutely no intention of making friends with our Daxia. Killed on the ground, to comfort the queen mother's spirit in heaven."

Things settled down quickly that day, but Chu Yao led the prince to sing a few big plays in front of Xia Yunjing, which made Xia Yunjing's mood gradually improve.But as soon as Xia Yunjing was in a good mood, someone started making trouble again.

It was rare for Chu Yao to have no restrictions. When she was talking in Zhao Yi's Fengyi Palace, Zi Yan came in, "The saint was in a bad mood two days ago, and none of the officials dared to come out. In the past two days, the empress and His Royal Highness have seen the saint I was so happy that I stood up again at this moment, and everyone accused the saint righteously."

"Since I heard his order that day, I guessed that one day, just wait and see, no one will be punished in the end, it's just a lavish burial for the Empress Dowager. Since a person is dead, you can say a lavish burial, among which It’s not about you doing the operation yourself. After all, it’s just finding some suitable reasons for the sage’s outrageous behavior.” Zhao Yihun didn’t care, and seeing that Chu Yao was a little interested, he said, “Your mother loves to listen, you Let’s talk to her, it’s good to hear it as a joke.”

Zhao Yi gave orders, and it didn't take much to learn the language for Chu Yao, so Zi Yan naturally didn't want to, "Your Majesty, it seems that those speech officials are going to court today, as if they have made an appointment. Zhezi said that the sage should not only let the empress dowager stop for just seven days, should not only hold the national funeral in March, should not confer the title of Aunt Wan, and should not bury Aunt Wan with the funeral ceremony of nine concubines in violation of regulations. He also said that the Han family should not be killed Those who are with other envoys of the Li Kingdom will not be beheaded even if the two armies are at war."

Zi Yan paused, then continued, "The other half refuted one by one, saying that this is not a happy funeral for the queen mother, but a sad event, and when the late emperor left, there was a large national funeral, so many good men and women were delayed. If the queen mother delays now In three years, I am afraid that there will be many idiots complaining about the people in Great Xia. This matter is very important. The saint is willing to treat the royal family lightly for the people of the world.

"What's more, the sage's benevolence and filial piety are well known throughout the country, so you don't have to care about the three-year national mourning, right?" Chuyao said, "Then Aunt Wan's canonization will not be said by those people to be to compensate the Queen Mother, so it will add glory Are you a loyal servant of the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty is smart, that's exactly what the officials said. And the saint said that the empress dowager must be buried generously. This matter will be considered safe and sound." Zi Yan thought for a while, "but all the officials are more concerned about it." The question is how Li Guo should deal with it. Although the sage said that the murderer should be punished, and his collaborators are also guilty, not to mention that the person she killed was my Empress Dowager Daxia, this is a matter that hurts face."

"I think a lot of officials have criticized the sage for this." Chu Yao turned her head to look at Zhao Yi, "Ma'am, tell me, this mother was killed, and the son has to stop him from taking revenge, not to mention that the son is still the emperor. What do those who stop them think?"

Er Er Chu Yao said, turned the bracelet on his wrist, and without waiting for Zhao Yi to speak, he said to himself, "If you say it's mediocre, it's not entirely true. I'm afraid there are many people in it, who are worried that the war will waste people and money." , to shake the foundation of the country. It’s just that they are the old kings and veterans, so they can’t see through. The saint guarded the land in the past, and the country of Li was a bit dirty, not to mention the matter of the queen mother, the saint has more righteous reasons to criticize the country of Li. Those People only remember that the people under them should be safe and sound, but they forget how many casualties are there every year at the border guards? Could it be that they are not the people of my Great Xia?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi's expression softened a little, and she held Chu Yao tightly in her arms again, and said, "It would be great if these people could treat them like this. Soldiers fight for their lives, but after all, the status of military households is not high. The outdated thinking for a long time has caused many civil officials in high positions to look down on soldiers. Unless those soldiers can one day be able to sit on an equal footing with them through military merits, they will probably be able to get their attention. But how difficult it is. "

"The literati are inferior to each other. Naturally, they look down on warriors even more, but they don't hear that scholars meet soldiers. It's justified. It's just that they don't care about them." Chu Yao leaned into Zhao Yi's arms again when she had a rare opportunity, and immediately stopped Zhao Yi. Yi moved, removed all the hairpins from her head, and lay down safely in Zhao Yi's arms, not afraid that the hairpins would disturb Zhao Yi, which showed that she was careful.

Zhao Yi naturally understood Chu Yao's intentions, and she knew best that Chu Yao was impatient to put on her makeup a few times, so her heart became more and more ironic.Seeing that Chu Yao was lying down and unwilling to talk, Zhao Yi only motioned for Zi Yan to continue talking.

Seeing the movements of the two, Zi Yan couldn't help lowering her voice a little, maintaining a height that made it comfortable for the two to hear but not too inaudible.It was also at this time that a second-class servant from Zhao Yi's side came in, and whispered to Zi Yan before standing aside with his head bowed.Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, but her face was filled with joy immediately.

"Your Majesty is overjoyed," Ziyan congratulated Zhao Yi, "just now, the news came from the front that Li Guo invaded the border of Daxia, and the saint was furious. He scolded those officials who were in harmony, and then ordered them to go down and get some food, grass, and military equipment. , it seems that we are going to fight."
