From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

110 one

There was a lot of commotion about the Empress Lieutenant, those diehard veterans were out of breath, and within a week they were so tired that they had to take leave to rest at home, and several of them had to stay in bed because of their old age and illness .

Xiao Weixin did not treat these veterans who were loyal to the imperial court badly. The imperial physicians in the palace visited door to door, and made sure that they all adjusted their bodies before going to court. The future will be long.

The veterans are recuperating at home. Seeing the emperor being so considerate and lenient towards them, they can’t help but feel a little ashamed. These old bones have tried everything they can these days, and they are almost going to imitate the local ruffians outside and sleep outside the main hall to demonstrate. But the emperor has never been harsh on them, nor dismissed them from office, and even now let the best imperial doctor in the palace come to see them, and intends to let them go back to serve as officials in the future, this kind of tolerance is really rare.

After such a comparison, the old ministers who were firmly opposed to Li Hou felt that the unreasonable person seemed to be himself, and the rejection of this matter in their hearts gradually weakened, but they still couldn't hold back their face and wanted to struggle again.

The issue of establishing a queen is related to the inheritance of the descendants of Jiangshan Sheji, and it still needs to be carefully considered.

Without those old stubborns fighting fiercely against the court, the remaining civil servants would have no backbone, and Shen Qingyu stood up at this time.As the youngest prime minister in history, his talent is obvious to all, and his character is even more commendable. The civil servants seem to have regarded him as the second leader, and they can still listen to his words.

Shen Qingyu didn't directly say that she supported Li Nan's empress, but just held a small meeting with her colleagues in private, citing extensive references and explaining patiently.

"The emperor is such a caring person. It's not easy to walk along the way. Others can't make their decisions. What's more, scholars should be more knowledgeable than ordinary people. They have been divided into books since ancient times. It's not a strange thing, the love between two men is not as strange as that between men and women, it's just different from each other."

"We are ministers and eat the king's salary, so we should share the worries for the king, and now the world is just in peace, and it is the time when all kinds of wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. Many things need to be dealt with urgently, and the border is not completely stable. Internal and external troubles are precarious. The same family and country Compared with the rise and fall, the establishment of a queen is not so important."

"As the saying goes, matters have their own importance and urgency. Right now, it is better to lightly expose this matter, so that the emperor can feel at ease, so that he can have the energy to solve these major matters."

After Shen Qingyu said something, those civil servants were also silent, most of them were people who followed behind those old officials, and the old officials were all sick now, so they could only listen to Shen Qingyu and secretly looked at each other , I don't know what to say except silence.

But I have to admit that what Shen Qingyu said is right. There are a lot of bad things going on inside and outside the court at the moment. Compared with it, being a male queen is really not a very important thing, it's just a title. If they regress at this time , Maybe the emperor will take a high look.

Besides, they don't believe that the emperor can always dote on that Young Master You. After three years, the internal and external affairs are stable, and then find another opportunity for the emperor to accept a few concubines. With the dragon heir, are they afraid that the male empress' status will not be shaken?

As a result, the voices of opposition in the court gradually weakened, and there was no such thing as death or life in the court.

You Shu couldn't help being speechless when he heard about it, "Those civil servants are really good. I always thought that most of them were relatively uncivilized, but in terms of speculation, they are also good at it."

"People who have read the book, how can they be really stupid." Xiao Weixin said while reading the booklet, "They are just thinking about whether they can benefit from it. Those who are really anxious about this matter, There are only a few old ministers who are recuperating in bed, and the rest are just following the wind and following whoever benefits."

You Shu sighed, no wonder he can be an official, this awareness is high.

Two days later, Zhao Shen, who had dealt with all matters from Zhuangzi in the suburbs, entered the palace.

Xiao Weixin deliberately took You Shu with him, saying that he wanted to introduce them to each other, and You Shu also wanted to meet that Mr. Zhao, so he happily went.

"Caomin has seen the emperor." Zhao Shen knelt down when he saw Xiao Weixin, and firmly kowtowed three times.

Xiao Weixin hurriedly helped him up, and personally brought him a stool to sit down, "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me, sit down."

Zhao Shen is not a hypocritical person, he sat down according to his words, his eyes fell on You Shu who was beside him, and his eyes were clear: "I think, this is the young master You who the emperor wants to be the new empress."

You Shu blushed in embarrassment, and raised his hands in a bow: "Downstream Shu, I met Mr. Zhao."

This is the second time they met, You Shu looked at it secretly, Zhao Shen and the image of "Yusheng" who was painted and powdered when they met in the palace for the first time were much different. , He is handsome and handsome between his eyebrows, he is indeed an extremely handsome young master Pian Pianjia.

He could imagine what kind of demeanor his elder brother Zhao Qi was back then. If the younger brother is like this, the older brother may be even better. It's a pity for this pair of brothers.

Zhao Shen nodded slightly, he was sitting at the table in white clothes, but his temperament was completely opposite to Xiao Weixin's, he didn't have a trace of a living person in his body, as if the whole person was an empty shell, You Shu couldn't see it from his eyes. a little emotion.

Xiao Weixin used to be like this, full of hostility, but he didn't know when it changed.You Shu turned his head and took a look at Xiao Weixin, just in time to meet his gaze, probably he also remembered the past, and quietly shook his hand under the table.

You Shuhui held his hand, guessing in his heart that perhaps it was because of himself that Xiao Weixin gradually became a normal person, although it was a bit shameless to say so, but he never underestimated his status in his heart.

Zhao Shen didn't notice their movements under the table, he seemed not interested in anything, "I dismissed everyone in the village."

"Alright." Xiao Weixin nodded, "It wasn't a good place to go."

Several maids brought up the wine and dishes, and then retreated respectfully. Xiao Weixin poured wine for him himself: "It's rare for us to meet you, let's drink first."

Zhao Shen held the wine cup with his head down, looked at it for a while, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp, drank three glasses in a row before putting it down, You Shu didn't dare to disturb the two of them, and just listened to them.

"I finally took revenge with my own hands."

Zhao Shen, who had been silent after drinking, finally spoke, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years."

"These are trivial things." Xiao Weixin said in a low voice, "I also know that it's not easy for you these years."

"Now that the Xia Clan is overthrown, you can also rest."

No one could understand the pain in Zhao Shen's heart when he lost all his relatives in one night, and no one could understand that he was a good son of a dignified and noble official family, and he had to bear the humiliation and go to the theater troupe to suffer for revenge.

"Seven years, I've waited too long." Zhao Shen said softly, holding his wine glass, "Father, mother and elder brother can finally close their eyes underground. I have not let them down."

Xiao Weixin didn't speak, just kept pouring wine for him, now he and Zhao Shen are just two poor people who have lost their loved ones.

"It would be great if Yunniang was still alive."

Zhao Shen held the wine glass and drank the sake in one gulp, his voice sounded a bit depressed, "Although I planned to do so, when I started to kill that child, I still hesitated."

"The child was born really well."

"Unfortunately, he cast the wrong baby."

"Only the unborn child in Yunniang's belly is my child. If he is alive, he will be seven years old this year."

Perhaps because of drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhao Shen, who was silent at first, slowly opened up, talking more, constantly recalling the old things in the past.

"My elder brother was able to speak at the age of two, knew a thousand characters at the age of three, recited poems and wrote Fu at the age of six, became a scholar at the age of 12, and won the prize of Tanhualang at the age of 19. He was really beautiful back then. Although I was worse than him, but in the end A compatriot of the same mother, the foundation is not weak, I have always regarded him as a role model for my life."

"Yunniang and I were childhood sweethearts, and she married me when she was 16. Unfortunately, I couldn't let her live a good life."

"When she died, she couldn't close her eyes. Those people in the prison had evil thoughts when they saw her beauty, and wanted to force her out by pulling her out."

When Zhao Shen said this, he clenched his hand holding the cup tightly, his blue veins burst out, and the hatred and pain in his heart also vented, "My Yunniang was the most lively and laughable before she was alive, but her temper is also The most staunch one, how could he bear such humiliation, he bit his tongue and committed suicide at that moment."

"When she died, she didn't even think about why she suddenly suffered such a catastrophe."

"In these years, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I always think of her and the child I have never seen. If he is still there, it should be a good time to study now, and he will definitely establish a reputation early like me. "

Listening to him talking about these things, You Shu gradually became depressed, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her, because Zhao Shen no longer needed comfort.

When Zhao Shen said this, he seemed to think of the baby he personally killed two days ago, and said, "I buried that child...under the tree in the back mountain, and never visited him once."

"If he has resentment in his heart, he will seek revenge on me in his next life."

"Although it's an evil seed that came out of that bitch's belly, I'm sorry for him."

Xiao Weixin said at this time: "Brother Xia Mao'an killed your whole family, and your siblings also died tragically in prison. He is not innocent, and the blood of the Xia family flows from his body."

Perhaps these words were just another way to comfort Zhao Shen, Zhao Shen did not refute after hearing this, but just stared at the flagon.

"I heard that you two are getting married?" He suddenly changed the subject, and his eyes fell on You Shu again.

You Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously replied: "It's about the same, it's not decided yet."

"It's not easy for the emperor for so many years." Zhao Shen said, "Back then when Concubine Xian was murdered, he was only eighteen, only one year older than me. But I used to have family with me, but his life in the palace But it’s really tough.”

"Fortunately, I have come here. I have never met Mr. You, but I can tell that you are a person worthy of entrustment."

He raised his glass to respect You Shu: "I respect you, my lord."

You Shu hurriedly took the wine glass and clinked glasses with him, "Master Zhao is serious, I... I must take good care of him."

Zhao Shen drank one cup after another, as if he wanted to swallow all the depression along with the wine.

"Are you coming on the day of the Empress Seal Ceremony?" Xiao Weixin asked him aloud, "I've already made a date, and it will be on the eighth day of next month."

I haven't mentioned this matter to You Shu, and You Shu is also a little surprised, has he made all the arrangements?

Zhao Shen seemed to be thinking about something, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Before I leave, I have to see you get married with my own eyes."

"After going down, I will see Concubine Xian, so I will have an explanation."
