The emperor is embarrassed

Min Jinghou has been thinking about Lu Anhou's words.

Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and the Empress Dowager Wei used all methods to pray for the emperor's safety, even the foolish tricks of folk fools and fools--a big wedding and a happy wedding.

Empress Dowager Wei is a very sensible and resourceful person, and Marquis Min Jing has experienced this.

The Empress Dowager Wei also has only the only son of His Majesty the Emperor, and because of His Majesty's honor, she has fulfilled her empress dowager position.Even, His Majesty the Emperor has no heirs, if the Emperor really has something good or bad, even the Empress Dowager Wei can still preserve her honor, but she, the Empress Dowager, is already dead in name only.

Whether it's feelings or status, even if the Empress Dowager Wei didn't watch over her son and cry every day, she shouldn't have this kind of reaction: anxious on the outside, indifferent on the inside.

Could it be...

No, it's not.

If His Majesty had a chance, in such a hot day, even if the Empress Dowager Wei kept secret, the smell would not be able to hide it.You can't learn from Qin Shihuang back then and get a room full of salted fish in it.Furthermore, he had never heard of the news that salted fish were being taken into the palace.

However, if His Majesty is well, why did he not show up for so long?

Furthermore, even if His Majesty pretends to be ill, how can he not even hide his own mother?What's more, in the current situation, the Empress Dowager Wei has moved to the Xuande Hall...

Thinking of this, Min Jinghou's heart beat faster for a while, he was so terrified, yet so excited.

Is it...

Haha, if this is the case, the Empress Dowager Wei and her son are too daring.

If God doesn't give it, you will be blamed instead.

Min Jinghou rubbed his hands excitedly, and gradually calmed down, no, this matter is not urgent, and, this matter, he alone cannot do it.

Min Jinghou called his confidant servants to come in, his right toe gently rolled on the ground, and he pretended to be indifferent, "Go, take my post and send it to Uncle Shen's mansion, saying that I will go to Shen Wang's mansion tomorrow. Please."

The slave took orders to do it.

Min Jinghou couldn't help showing a determined smile again on his face.

Xuande Hall.

The Empress Dowager Wei was talking to Mrs. Yuan Zhongyihou and her sister Wei Shi.

Ever since his son took over the title, even if it was a surrender, Wei's face and mood are not the same as before. Today's peace and tranquility, and all kinds of comfort can flow from the corners of his eyes and brows.Wei Shi said, "Brother Li likes to be quiet and obsessed with books. Now he is fascinated by a group of scholars who repair books. We all grew up in the imperial capital since we were young. Now that I am old, I also want to return to my roots. Brother Li said that he will also take over his wife and son in a few days."

"If my sister lives in the imperial capital for a long time, we sisters will be able to visit more, so that my palace will not be lonely." The Empress Dowager Wei laughed.

Wei smiled, "I think so too. The eldest sister is far away in Hubei, and the third and fourth younger sisters are from Sichuan and Sichuan. I said they don't know where their luck came from. Now it's a governor's wife and a Tongzhi wife. How rare it is to be in one place.”

Speaking of sisters, since they got married and parted ways, they haven't seen each other for decades, and the little friction in the boudoir has long since disappeared. Empress Dowager Wei said with a smile, "Yes, our sisters are the only ones who suffer. Nearly. I heard that Fifth Sister is not in good health, but Mr. Yusu brought his eldest son here. I can see that the eyebrows are somewhat similar to the charm of Fifth Sister when she was young. On the contrary, Sixth Sister is as stubborn as ever, even though she came to the imperial capital , she has only come to my Shouan Palace alone once, and she usually follows the crowd."

Among the seven sisters in the family, there is no friction between the older and the younger, and those who are often similar in age are prone to various calculations.

Especially women, be careful.

The sixth sister mentioned by Empress Dowager Wei is really not an outsider, but the sister of the empress dowager's mother.They are just sisters of the same mother, but they are not as close as Wei Shi and Queen Mother Wei who are half-brothers.

The seven daughters and one son of the old Marquis of Yongning are not many descendants, Mrs. Zhongyihou is born of the first wife, Wei Liuniang and Queen Mother Wei are born of the second wife, and Wei Yingjia is born of the girl Fuzheng.

Wei Liuniang is very strong by nature, and she was born with a beautiful appearance when she was young. To be honest, her appearance is indeed superior to that of the Queen Mother Wei.

Moreover, Wei Liuniang acted with a three-point smart appearance.

She thought she was a thousand times stronger than her younger sister, but in the end, her luck was no match for the Queen Mother Wei.

When their biological mother, Fang Shi, was pregnant with Empress Dowager Wei, Empress Fang had been ill for a long time in the palace, and she was about to die. The will was made, and she was just waiting to die.As a result, one of the scholars entered the palace, wandered around Kunning in a daze, then pointed to Mrs. Fang Shi, Mrs. Yongninghou, the younger sister who entered the palace to accompany Queen Fang, and said, "This lady is of high character. There will be a noble daughter in the womb. As long as this lady stays with the empress for a long time, the empress's illness will be cured without medicine."

Things about ghosts and gods have always been unpredictable.

Anyway, Empress Fang did not die, but Fang had a difficult childbirth when she was born to the Empress Dowager, and died soon after.

Out of various considerations, Empress Fang brought the infant Empress Dowager Wei close to the palace, loving her as if she were her own.

Wei Liuniang is three years older than the Queen Mother Wei, no matter how magnificent the Yongning Hou Mansion is, it is completely incomparable with the royal style.What's more, Empress Dowager Wei was born next to Empress Fang, and she was treated just like a royal princess. Although her appearance was not as good as Wei Liuniang's, her bearing was three blocks away from Wei Liuniang's.

It's really hard not to hate.

The discord between the two sisters really started when they were young.

Up to now, Wei Liuniang is already a grandmother, and she doesn't want to go to the palace to pay her respects when she comes to the imperial capital.

Wei Shi heard the Empress Dowager Wei talking about Wei Liuniang, and sighed with a smile, "Liumei is born in the year of the ox, so she is really ox-tempered. When I go to see her, I am old, and I can't always stay at home like this."

Empress Dowager Wei smiled, but said nothing.

Wei Shi said, "There is something else I want to tell my mother. The day before yesterday, the young lady in the family went back. I saw what she meant, but she intended to go back. The words that dragged me for a long time were mostly to express loyalty, but Nothing else."

"Ningxue has always been a smart person." Queen Mother Wei said.

Wei smiled helplessly, "Yes, there are two sisters, one with a clear eye and one with a smart mind."

Thinking of Wei's mother-in-law, Mrs. Fang, Empress Dowager Wei sighed helplessly.

In fact, Wei entered the palace to show her loyalty, she sighed, "I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but it's just a mess outside. We are sisters, what's the matter, although Brother Li has not experienced much, It’s okay to use your strength.”

"I know, Second Sister."

Hearing this old address, Mrs. Wei smiled, and talked with Empress Dowager Wei for a long time before getting up to leave.

After Wei Shi left.

Until the evening, Empress Dowager Wei read the secret report page by page.When the Empress Dowager Wei turned to the page of Minjinghou's Mansion, she lightly pressed her fingertips on it, and secretly sighed.

It seems that someone found out about Ming Zhan.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and it is a fluke to be able to hide it for so long.Counting the time now, it is estimated that Ming Zhan will be back soon.

Empress Dowager Wei narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't believe whatever they suspected, and there were still people who dared to force their way into the Xuande Hall to find out what was going on!

The precious son that Empress Dowager Wei was thinking about was lying on the bed, asking Ruan Hongfei to massage him.

In order to return to the imperial capital this time, Ming Zhan was extremely cautious. Don't see that it's easy to get out when you come out, and it may not be easy to go back when you go back.According to Ming Zhan's scheming, he will naturally have to disguise himself, and it is best to go back without anyone noticing.

Ming Zhan thought of a bad idea. He asked Ruan Hongfei to pretend to be a woman, pretending to be his wife, Yaoguang to be a servant, and the family rushed to the imperial capital to visit relatives.Moreover, they didn't go by themselves, but hired escorts to send them back to the imperial capital.

These days, it takes a long time to travel a long distance, and the road is not very safe, so hiring an escort agency is a common method.Moreover, the bodyguard bureau not only protects the three masters and servants, but also several groups of men, women and children.

Ming Zhan had a good idea, but when he started to actually do it, he realized that there was still a certain gap between reality and ideals.Take Ruan Hongfei's height as an example, with a figure of [-], wide shoulders and narrow hips, no matter how handsome Ruan Hongfei is, he still doesn't look like a woman.Ming Zhan, on the other hand, is not tall, round and round, and his Adam's apple is not too obvious. With a little modification, he is a rich lady.

At first, Ming Zhan was not happy about life and death, pinching his old willow waist and said, "Which woman has such a thick waist like mine?"

Ruan Hongfei snickered, "Yes, a woman with a body, who doesn't have a thick waist."

Anyway, Ruan Hongfei always had a way to get Ming Zhan to nod.

Ming Zhan not only pretends to be a woman, but also pretends to be a pregnant woman. Along the way, his heart is not going well, and he has to order Ruan Hongfei from time to time.Ruan Hongfei was amused, but in fact Ming Zhan pretending to be a woman is not so ugly.

As far as Ming Zhan himself is concerned, although he did not inherit the advantages of his parents' looks, Feng Jingnan and Queen Mother Wei are not ugly, and Ming Zhan is just born ordinary.Oval face, light eyebrows, single eyelids, slender eyes, fair skin, especially bright and not very long, the skin is super good, tender and supple to the touch.

It's just that Ruan Hongfei is happy to see Ming Zhan's unhappy appearance from time to time, especially when Ming Zhan pinches his throat in front of outsiders and calls him "Sister-in-law" in a high-pitched voice, Ruan Hongfei really feels that he is happy to receive some errands.

Prince Shen's Mansion.

Prince Shen is getting old, and his legs and feet are not sharp.Because he has no descendants, the mansion is a little lonely.Even in the flower house where hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, it seems that Prince Shen's old age and decline are even more highlighted.

However, Min Jinghou did not dare to be disrespectful.

Even, Min Jinghou didn't sell the lawsuit at all, and directly expressed his doubts openly.This move is not Min Jinghou Shicheng, now Lu Anhou is in the hands of Prince Shen.What he can know, Prince Shen can only know earlier than him.That being the case, I simply said it directly.

Prince Shen was sitting in the rocking chair with hair as white as frost and snow. After hearing what Min Jinghou said, Prince Shen still had his eyes closed and didn't move at all, so that Min Jinghou thought that the old man had taken a nap and fell asleep Woolen cloth.I couldn't help calling "Uncle Shen Wang" twice.

Prince Shen opened his eyes, and glanced at Min Jinghou faintly, "Since you suspect that His Majesty's illness is fake, do you dare to go to the palace to see if it's true?"

"Uncle Wang, without the words of the Empress Dowager, who can see His Majesty's dragon body?" The implication is that I dare not.

Prince Shen was noncommittal, and said coldly, "Yes, a woman scared all of you out of courage."

Min Jinghou didn't speak.Just dissatisfied in my heart, I thought to myself, isn't your old man also fined for three months, he didn't even dare to fart.This is still relying on your old man's seniority, why are you laughing at fifty steps now.

Prince Shen didn't seem to consider what Min Jinghou was thinking, still closed his eyes, and said softly, "So what's the truth? As long as the Empress Dowager stays in charge, and the Yongninghou Mansion is in charge of the military, the imperial capital will be in the hands of the Empress Dowager. Take ten thousand steps back." Said, even if the Empress Dowager was under pressure to appoint the crown prince. Take another [-] steps back and say, even if we support the crown prince to ascend the throne. The crown prince also has his own mother to rely on, so what are you and my clan's bottom?"

Prince Shen hissed, "It's just a marriage for someone else."

These words hit Min Jinghou's heart word by word. Min Jinghou's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "My nephew has limited strategy, but I just ran out of ideas. I was thinking of asking Uncle Wang for advice. Uncle Wang Don't worry, you are the youngest person in the clan, and no one will refuse to obey your orders."

Prince Shen shook his head and said with a smile, "I have no descendants, and at this age, what more do I ask for, what more do I want."

Prince Shen is the brother of Emperor Renzong, the elders of that generation, apart from Prince Shen, Princess Xiangyi Taichang, who is at home after a stroke, is the only one alive today.Prince Shen was also a handsome and handsome man when he was young, but now, with white hair and a long beard, he is still very personable.Even if he is not in good health occasionally, when he is trembling, Ming Zhan also thinks that Prince Shen looks better than other old men when he trembles.

In fact, Min Jinghou didn't know what Prince Shen was planning?

Prince Shen had no sons. At that time, Emperor Renzong wanted to adopt an heir to Prince Shen, but Prince Shen refused to agree.Later, when the Supreme Emperor Feng Jinggan ascended the throne, the old matter was brought up again, but Prince Shen still did not respond.

However, not everything has a reason.

Just like the eunuchs in the palace, they also have no offspring.However, eunuchs love power and are greedy for money by nature. Some people can't figure it out, you are an eunuch, what do you do with so much money, and who do you leave it to?

Comparing the clan princes with eunuchs, this kind of thinking is really disrespectful, Min Jinghou was thinking wildly, and heard Prince Shen say unhurriedly, "Now the life and death of the Supreme Emperor is uncertain, and His Majesty the Emperor has been ill for a long time. It’s a good time. Although the emperor’s nephews are young, if Duke Zhou assists them, the world will be safe.”

"However, from the perspective of the overall situation, the Northwest Army is loyal to the imperial court, and the Southeast Army began to integrate before His Majesty took the throne. There are nine soldiers and horses that cannot be broken by the Tatars. Therefore, if you want to win by brute force , will only be punished as a traitor and traitor in the end."

"Now, if you want to stand out from the crowd among the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the imperial nephew's niece, and win this round, the only way to win this game is to win the match! Min Jing, have you thought about it?"

People who dare to rebel generally have some guts, Min Jinghou said seriously, "I just don't want to end up like Brother Lu An." He frowned and said, "Uncle Wang, what if His Majesty comes back suddenly?"

Prince Shen smiled, "As long as everyone in the world thinks His Majesty is dead, even if he can come back, he will be nothing but a dead man. Besides, I naturally have a way to prevent him from entering the imperial capital."

"Of course, there must be a way to force the Empress Dowager Wei and the cabinet to choose a crown prince!"
