Chu Shao never thought that he could open his eyes again.

The first line of sight is a barren and depressing valley, and the people around him exude a strong alien atmosphere from their appearance to their attire.

If he hadn't stayed at the border for several years and was familiar with the habits and culture of the northerners, he must have thought that he had come to hell as he wished.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Many people were muttering something about his waking up, but Chu Shao couldn't hear it clearly, only a joyful voice was soothing to his ears.

"I just said that he is not a mortal, and he can be saved if he is injured like this!"

Chu Shao followed the reputation and found that the owner of this voice was very young, handsome and childish, with gray wolf fur embroidered on the edge of his skirt, and the totem of an eagle printed on the iron button.

Based on these characteristics alone, Chu Shao was able to determine that this person was a nobleman of the Wendun clan in the North Tour, and based on this, it was inferred that the group of people surrounding him were probably members of the Wendun clan.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain from the waist like peeling flesh, and the witch doctor replaced the herbs on Chu Shao's waist, bringing out some festering flesh.

In the turbulence of the river, the wound became infected and inflamed, and it was already difficult to see that the wound was stabbed by a sharp object like a hairpin.

Although the herbs of the nomads are rough, they often have miraculous effects, but the effects are too strong. The severe pain when applying the medicine made Chu Shao's eyes black, and the young face broke into his sight in a blur of consciousness, "Endure Shinobu! We are saving your life..."

Even though Chu Shao didn't want to live, the word "help" was full of kindness after all. He gritted his teeth and endured for a while, exhausted, closed his eyes weakly, and fell asleep again.

During the alternation of the sun and the moon, Zhongqin changed a lot.

King Yu completed the transfer of power in front of the late emperor according to the imperial edict. During the national mourning period, he sat on the dragon chair in the way of ascending the throne in front of the deceased.

According to the legal system of Zhongqin, the new emperor's filial piety period "changed from day to month", and replaced the three-year filial piety period on the 27th. After the 27th day, the new emperor held the enthronement ceremony and officially presided over the government.

During this month, the feng shui in the palace has rotated three times.

The Ruiwang party, which was proud of the first emperor's dynasty, was completely wiped out. Everyone was in danger, and they ran around looking for a way out.

Empress Zhao was demoted to a commoner for the crime of forcing the palace, and was taken to the imperial mausoleum, where she knelt and repented every day in front of the Yufei Mausoleum until she died.

All those who participated in the rebellion of the Zhao family were beheaded and killed, and the rest, men, women, and children, were all sold into slavery. Among them, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries were relegated to the homes of women who were persecuted by King Rui that day to serve as slaves and handmaids in order to atone for their crimes.

Some people are frustrated, and some people are proud.

Concubine Ning was honored as Concubine Ning because of her kindness in raising King Yu. There is no queen mother in the palace. The new emperor needs a concubine mother to show her filial piety to the world. Honor her.

The Wen clan had bet on the right treasure, and it was supposed to be splendid, but the wedding was disrupted by the mutiny that day, and many things were subtly delayed.

"When will Your Majesty make me Empress!?" Wen Rongyu complained loudly in a side hall.

"I am His Majesty's only official wife, and I was actually placed in this side hall where nothing shits like shit. How on earth are you dead slaves doing things!!"

The person who was sent to serve Wen Rongyu was a senior aunt in the palace named Xiangxiu.

Xiangxiu calmly dodged a smashed vase, and said: "Miss, don't be in a hurry, Your Majesty has his own arrangements."

"Girl?! I have already married into the palace, and you still call me a girl?!"

Xiangxiu said: "When the wedding was not completed that day, there was a national funeral. Although the girl wore the wedding dress of Prince Yu's Mansion and entered the marriage invitation of Prince Yu's Mansion, she did not complete the ceremony. His Majesty never let the girl be named into the royal family. Genealogy, according to the legal system, you are still a girl who has not left the cabinet, not even Princess Yu."

"You cheap slave! How dare you bully me!"

Wen Rongyu can't wait to step forward and tear this Xiangxiu's mouth, but this big girl is accompanied by two powerful eunuchs. The eunuch would "press" her politely and respectfully, preventing her from moving.

Xiangxiu stepped forward to bless her body, raised her hand and slapped Wen Rongyu, and taught her a lesson: "Miss must have just entered the palace, I don't know the rules in this palace, Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to make noise in the palace, miss Breaking the precept."

Xiangxiu used to serve Concubine Yu. After Concubine Yu passed away, Xiangxiu was degraded by the empress as a low-class court lady. She has done a lot of rough work in the past few years, so that her hands are quite strong, and Wen Rongyu's hair is slapped with a slap. The crooked, bruised corners of the mouth made Wen Rongyu unable to open his mouth.

Naturally, it will be clean.

The autumn rain stabbed people, Wen Teng waited outside the Xingzheng Hall for two full hours in the wind and rain, and finally waited for the door to open, and Eunuch Wen Yan invited him in.

When Wen Teng stepped into the Xingzheng Hall, he could faintly smell a scent of medicine - Huaizhen had been taking wound medicine recently.

Perhaps it was because of drinking too much medicine. Everyone knew that the new emperor's temper was unstable after he ascended the throne.

Wen Teng used to dare to calculate some benefits from Huai Zhen, but now he saw his thunderous methods of cleaning up the Zhao family Rui Wang's party, and realized that this new emperor who naturally possessed military power did not need a transition period after he ascended the throne. He can clean up all the people who make him angry.

Before Huai Yuan died, he wanted Wen Teng to restrain Huai Zhen's power, but now it seems that he was able to retain the title of Taifu because of the glory of the late emperor, so how dare he restrain anything?

He came today just to seek a proper title for his daughter.

Because the first emperor had promised to let the Wen family produce a queen, Wen Teng had the confidence to ask for it.

As soon as he explained his purpose, the ink pen in Huaizhen's hand stopped. He raised his eyes and stared gloomyly at Mrs. Wen who was kneeling on the ground.

Wen Teng's back felt cold, and for the sake of Wen's future, he bit the bullet and said: "That day...that day the royal family got married, and everyone in the city knew about it, and the marriage was bestowed by the late emperor, so she should be His Majesty's official wife. Now His Majesty will The little girl is trapped in the side hall of the deep palace, she is neither a princess nor a concubine, the girl who has left the cabinet has no status, and the people are full of opinions, please take care of your own reputation, and don't let the little girl matter hurt your majesty's reputation."

"A marriage?" Huai Zhen asked lazily, "When did the late emperor bestow a marriage on Wen Rongyu and Zhen?"

"Your Majesty!?" Wen Teng said urgently, "The Holy Majesty promised verbally that day, and the eunuch also went to the palace to pass the decree on the night of the wedding!"

Huaizhen pretended not to know: "Oh? Why didn't I see this decree when I was a prince?"

The imperial decree to seal Princess Yu was trampled into waste paper by the rebels as early as the night of the palace change, but if you picked it up and put it together at that time, you could still see the late emperor's handwriting and jade seal.

So Ning Yuanqiu's first reaction after picking up the pile of shredded paper was to burn it clean.

Now, this will is completely eliminated from the world.

Now that the new emperor says that there is no such will, then there is no more.

Without the imperial decree, Wen Teng knew it was wrong, and said again: "The late emperor mentioned twice the matter of making my daughter a concubine, and His Majesty also promised to make my daughter the Queen of Zhongqin after ascending the throne. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Words are as important as nine cauldrons, don't break your word and get fat!"

"... Tsk, I have a headache." Huaizhen put down the vermilion pen, rubbed his temples with his thumb, and asked Ning Yuanqiu beside him: "Why don't I remember what my father said? Have you heard it?"

Ning Yuanqiu who burned the imperial decree for bestowing marriage: "I have never heard of or seen the imperial decree from the Taifu's mouth. I am afraid that the Taifu is confused!"

Huai Zhen asked Wen Yan again: "What about you?"

Wen Yan smiled and said: "I have never heard of it, Mr. Wen must have made a mistake."

"You... you!!" Wen Teng was so angry that he couldn't speak well.

The new emperor and his confidantes practiced Tai Chi, and they forcibly erased the words and decrees of the previous emperor!

Seeing the other party being unreasonable, Wen Teng straightened his back even though he was still kneeling.

"Since your majesty can't remember, then I will remind your majesty that on that day, your majesty married the concubine with the honor of a prince, and everyone in Beijing knew that the late emperor would bestow a marriage to make things even better."

On that day when Huaizhen has become the prospective crown prince and the prince-to-be gets married, the emperor will definitely bestow an icing on the cake to show his great honor. This has been the case since ancient times, and the people also tacitly agree that this will exists.

"Your Majesty may not remember the late emperor's promise, or ignore the disappearing imperial decree, but His Majesty cannot let the people of Kyoto forget that on June [-]th, Prince Yu's Mansion married a princess with great fanfare. , Didn’t Your Majesty commit the crime of deceiving the late Emperor when he was a prince? Please think again, Your Majesty.”

After all, Wen Teng is the head of civil servants, with such a glib tongue that he can turn white into black.

Huai Zhen sneered, his brows and eyes seemed to relax, "Teacher is very right, I do have an official wife, but because King Rui rebelled that day, and after he succeeded to the throne, there were too many affairs, so I have not had time to explain to the world in the future."

He got up, helped Wen Teng himself, and patted the back of his hand, "Actually, I have already drawn up an imperial edict to rectify Princess Yu's name, and I will announce it to the world at an auspicious time today."

Wen Teng was overjoyed that the new emperor was born as a warrior, and he only knew how to avoid the visible swords, guns and sticks, but the secular etiquette was an invisible weapon that he couldn't hide from. No matter how powerful he was, he had to submit.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "My minister has the guts to say one more thing. Since your Majesty has conferred the concubine Yu, don't forget to confer the concubine together. This will be justified."

Huai Zhen said happily: "Thank you for reminding me, Tai Tuo is the elder of the two dynasties and the head of civil servants, so it is also right for me to care about my family affairs."

At this time, a young eunuch walked into the hall and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has sent an envoy to send the empress's will to the Chu family in Suizhou. The prefect Chu Hong presented a memorial of gratitude, and Mrs. Song and Miss Chu knelt down to thank you." His Majesty's command and title."

Wen Teng thought he heard it wrong: "Why did the Queen's will be sent to the Chu family in Suizhou?!"

Ning Yuanqiu said: "Chu Qingxu, the son of the Chu family in Suizhou, is His Majesty's official wife, so naturally she is Princess Yu, and Zhongqin's well-deserved queen."

Wen Teng looked at Huai Zhen in disbelief, and Huai Zhen asked innocently: "Why is the Taifu so surprised? The first wife I married that day was Chu Qingxu who has been raised in Prince Yu's mansion. What's the matter with Miss Guan Wenjia?"

"You...how dare you?!"

Wen Teng's voice trembled, not only because of the aggrieved Wen Rongyu suffered, but also because of Huai Zhen's favoritism towards Chu Shao!

"Chu Qingxu has nothing to do with the Zhou Chu family at all! He is my Zhongqin's confidant, how much blood of Zhongqin's son Lang has been stained on his hands, and he is the abandoned queen of Nanqi's old master Wei Yong! A second marriage Your Majesty’s husband and wife! If you do this, you won’t be afraid that the late emperor will die in peace?! You won’t be afraid that the world will criticize you!?”

"You really knew Chu Shao's identity early in the morning." Huai Zhen looked directly into Wen Teng's eyes coldly, "So when you were in Nanqi, you sent an assassin to kill him, and so did the two servants in Yayuan that night. You put it in the palace."

Wen Teng was angry and guilty: "...Your Majesty has no evidence, so don't wrong loyal ministers for favoring Chu Shao."

Huai Zhen sneered, and said: "On the outskirts of Qizhou that day, the assassin stabbed me on the left shoulder. I saw with my own eyes a thin scar on the corner of his eye. That night in Yayuan, Liu Gou, who wanted to kill Chu Shao, also had such a scar. Xi Scar, does the Grand Tutor still want to argue in front of me?"

"..." Wen Teng had no idea that Huaizhen had a face-to-face meeting with Liu Gou, who was pretending to be an assassin that day. Although the scars on Liu Gou's face were not obvious, they were noticed by Huaizhen. Here it is, the matter is indistinguishable!

"Assassination of the prince is a crime. Now that I have become the emperor, if I want to pay for this old wound on my shoulders." Huai Zhen laughed, "How many heads in your Wen family are enough to bear the crime of murdering the monarch?" ah?"

Wen Teng's face was pale, and his knees were weak. If Huai Zhen hadn't grabbed his hand, he might have fallen to the ground.

"However, Tai Tuo was the late emperor's confidant and important minister, and his loyalty can be shown. I have just ascended the throne, and I don't want to have trouble with the civil servants."

Huai Zhen returned to the desk and looked down at Wen Teng again, "As long as the Taifu keeps his mouth shut and doesn't talk about the queen's past right and wrong behind his back, I don't have to pursue the Wen family's crime of exterminating the nine clans, and I can give Wen Rongyu a justification." Let her be a low-ranking concubine and raise her in the harem with good food and drink, and your Wen family will not suffer."

"It's just that, when the Queen returns to the palace in the future, Concubine Wen needs to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times in front of the Queen to atone for her past crimes of murdering Xiao Shao."

Wen Teng was greatly humiliated: "Rong Yu's high-ranking daughter, how could His Majesty let him be a concubine under Chu Shao? She is sincere to you!"

"Sincerely?! Your literary family just wants to use the Yuwang Mansion to climb into the royal family. You plan on my power, and your daughter plans on my bed. Now you tell me the word "sincerity". Tai Tuo, you treat me like a three-year-old child ?!"

I don't know when, Wen Teng's dim sum machine had been exposed to the sun long ago. In desperation, he could only poke the new emperor's wound: "But Chu Qingxu is already dead. For so many days, not even a corpse by the river I can't find it! Does Your Majesty still have delusions?"

Huaizhen said, "He won't die."

"Is Your Majesty stunned? Such a high cliff, such a rushing river! How can Chu Shao survive with a mortal body?!"

"Wenteng, you should pray day and night, and pray that Chu Shao will return to me safe and sound, otherwise, your Wen family will be buried with you!"

On the decree drawn up early in the morning to strengthen Chu Shao as Concubine Yu and canonize him as Queen, the new emperor personally stamped the emperor's jade seal that no one can speak of. He deceived himself and said:

"Whether Chu Shao is alive or dead, he is...my only queen."
