After the death of the villain

The Northern Qi Dynasty used to be a big country that was about to unify the world. Ling Lang's grandfather became the emperor, and all countries refused to accept it.The marriage has been going on since then, and it can be regarded as a kindness from a great country.Now that the situation in Northern Qi is not as good as before, this matter needs to be carefully considered.

What Shen Weichuan said was true, but it didn't go anywhere. A few years ago, there were barbarian attacks from outside, and vassal kings from inside who seized the heir, which made the people everywhere feel miserable, and the whole Northern Qi was in turmoil.The Northern Qi had long been the fat meat of other countries, and it was not until the regent king reluctantly protected the young emperor to ascend the throne that this seemingly stable situation existed.

At this time, getting married is equivalent to forming an alliance with Tangling Kingdom, which is a good thing for Northern Qi.It's just that the first emperor's heirs are meager, and there are only three princesses under his knees, the youngest princess is only seven years old, and the eldest princess Ling Le is born of the first empress, and has already reconciled with the two sons-in-law.The only thing left is the Empress Dowager's biological daughter, Ling Qiang, who is twenty-eight years old and is waiting in her boudoir for official affairs.

The national power of Tangling Kingdom is flourishing, even more than that of the former Northern Qi Dynasty.If he wanted to win over the Dongling Kingdom and strengthen the Northern Qi Dynasty, he would not be able to choose a woman from the clan at random. The only suitable person was the second princess. Xie Xiangying saw that Shen Weichuan's holy order was just superficial, just passing the show.

"I don't know who the regent has in mind."

As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, she directed the eyes of all court officials to Xie Xiangying who was still wandering.

The only candidate for marriage is the queen mother's daughter Ling Qiang. Xie Xiangying reckoned that if he said it first, he would definitely set himself on fire and make the queen mother bear the grudge.

Although the regent acted perversely, he still wanted to live longer.

Xie Xiangying thought for a moment, then asked Shen Weichuan, "I don't know if the prince of Dongling Kingdom has someone he likes."

Shen Weichuan's eyes narrowed slightly, Zheng Sheng said: "It was not mentioned in the letter, and I don't know about it. The prince of Dongling will visit with the envoy in a few days, and the confusion in the hearts of the queen mother and the regent may be solved."

The three of them talked back and forth, but the little emperor who should talk the most didn't say a word.

Until the dynasty was scattered, what the little emperor said was nothing more than the word "retire from the dynasty".

Xie Xiangying looked at his future little apprentice, and suddenly felt that it was a little pitiful for this young man to sit in a hall full of people and listen to business at such a young age.When he was this age, he was still playing with a slingshot over the wall.

"That's it, let's wait until Prince Dongling arrives, then make a judgment and retreat."

The Empress Dowager spoke coldly, and the Regent had no objection to the matter, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty left the Chongming Hall one by one.

Before Xie Xiangying left, he took a look at the little emperor who jumped down from the dragon chair with his hands propped up.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that although the child hadn't said a word, he had been staring at him since the morning, which was strange.

As soon as the person walked up to the steps of the white marble stone pile, Shen Weichuan called out behind him, "The regent stays."

With the board-like thing in his hand pinned to his waist, Shen Weichuan walked over with a smile.

Xie Xiangying frowned, and stood aside with his nearly disabled legs, waiting for the former uncle of the country.

When Shen Weichuan saw Xie Xiangying, he didn't salute, but said familiarly: "It's not convenient to say anything in the hall just now, which princess does His Highness think the envoy of Dongling Kingdom will take a fancy to?"

Xie Xiangying smiled awkwardly: "God's will is unfathomable, and this king doesn't even know it."

"It's up to people." Shen Weichuan curled his lips meaningfully.

This old boy is telling him what to say, what a chicken thief.

Xie Xiangying thought about getting into his comfortable carriage with all his heart, thought for a moment, looked at the sun above his head, and said nonsense: "The sun rises in the east, and then goes west again. It is the same day after day. It cannot be changed by manpower. The country specially sent envoys here must have an idea, instead of you and I guessing, it is better to wait for a while, the country uncle said."

"Your Highness's words..."

Shen Weichuan thought in his heart that what Ling Qingyun was mumbling about was a bunch of nonsense.Just about to ask a few more questions, Xie Xiangying stepped down the steps first.

"My king still has something important to do, so I will take my leave first."

Xie Xiang didn't turn his head back, and went straight to the direction of the carriage.

Outside the palace gate, Zhuoying waited for a long time in a carriage.Seeing Xie Xiangying coming out, she quickly stepped forward to greet him, and helped him into the carriage before Xie Xiangying's legs softened.

It wasn't until there was a place to sit on his butt that Xie Xiangying felt much more comfortable.When the weather is hot, even the Chongming Hall with ice is enough to make people sweat.In addition, after spending an hour in the sun yesterday, today I always feel that my head is groggy and not sober.

He thought that being a high-ranking regent would be a happy life for more than ten thousand people, but he didn't expect that the palace guarded him, and the officials in the previous dynasty colluded to plot against him.

Being the emperor's teacher and the regent, there is no one busier than him in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Xie Xiangying loosened his neckline, and Zhuoying thoughtfully handed him a fan.Even if the jade-bone fan was cold to the touch, it became warm after a while.

Xie Xiangying calmed down before carefully thinking about Shen Weichuan's words.It's fine if this person doesn't express his opinion, but he still uses tricks to trick him. I don't know if it's the empress dowager's intention.

"The master doesn't look very well."

Xie Xiangying thought to himself that he had stood in the Chongming Hall for a full hour, listening to the court ministers wanting to report all the little things about his chickens laying eggs, how could he be in a better mood.

Seeing Zhuoying's confused face, Xie Xiangying swallowed these trivial matters.

"You told me that the eldest princess's mansion has frequent contacts with the regent, but you haven't elaborated on this eldest princess's character yet."

Zhuoying heard the words, and said truthfully: "The eldest princess is fierce, and she is quite masculine. One of the two sons-in-law couldn't stand the eldest princess's behavior and asked to make peace, and the other blocked the sword for the eldest princess during the assassination. , died. Although the regent is at odds with the emperor, he has a very good relationship with this princess."

"How many children does the eldest princess have?" Xie Xiangying asked again.

"The dragon and phoenix twins, one son and one daughter, were all born to the first son-in-law, the great general Zhou Xuan. They must be fourteen this year."

"fourteen?"

"Yes."

Such a good age is really dangerous.The eldest princess has a noble status and is a descendant of the queen. Her baby daughter is probably more suitable than the second princess Ling Qiang.It seems that the Empress Dowager and Uncle Guo already have a marriage partner in mind.

If he mentioned Ling Qiang today, wouldn't he openly challenge her.

so close.

The carriage wobbled back and drove back, but before anyone got out of the carriage, they heard someone coming to send a message, saying that the eldest princess was visiting and had important matters to discuss.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Xie Xiangying glanced at Zhuo Ying, Zhuo Ying opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Xie Xiangying supported Zhuoying's arm, and slowly landed on the dismounting stone.The black brocade clothes are the most majestic, and with a bronze ghost face, the regent's imposing manner is not very strong, but there are also seven or eight points.

"When autumn comes and September [-]th, I will kill the flowers after they bloom."

In Minghui Hall, Princess Xuanhua looked at the poems on the wall and pondered for a long time.

"The Regent has arrived."

Ah Zhao shouted loudly outside the house.

When Xuan Hua heard this, she turned around and slightly bowed her knees, "Ling Le has seen His Royal Highness King Jing."

The appearance of the eldest princess is like that of her biological mother, king and queen. She is like a peony, bright and charming, and no one can compare.There was a strong smile on her face, and the vermilion flower tinsel between her eyebrows made her skin whiter and more delicate.

"Get up quickly." Xie Xiangying said, motioning Ah Zhao to move a chair.

Princess Xuanhuai had to call the regent Prince Uncle Wang according to her seniority. The two were about the same age. They read and read together when they were young, and their friendship was stronger than others.

The first emperor was the eldest son of Emperor Taizong. He ascended the throne in his 40s. He reigned diligently and diligently, but passed away within five years.Although the first emperor had few heirs, he had many brothers. Although the crown prince Ling Lang was the descendant of the empress of the Central Palace, he was only five years old at the time.It was the Eldest Princess Li Bao who, together with Ling Lang's adoptive mother Concubine Shen, persuaded King Jing, who was about to revolt, to wipe out the rebellious officials together, and it was the seemingly peaceful situation today.

The regent is in power, the eldest princess is arrogant, and the empress dowager Shen is unwilling to sit alone in the deep palace.The illusion of peace supported by the three is already in jeopardy.

"The princess hasn't visited for a long time, I don't know why?" Xie Xiangying thought about the relationship between several people, and felt that Xuanhua could be regarded as a trustworthy person.As long as he has no plans for the little emperor's throne at the moment, Xuanhua will not lose his ally the regent easily.

In a short period of time, the smile on Xuanhua's face disappeared, and she didn't plan to pave the way for anything because the matter was so important. She sneered and said, "It's not because of that bitch Concubine Shen."

Opening his mouth is the word "slut", which shows that Xuanhua has long wanted to move Queen Mother Shen.

"It's for peace."

Xuan Hua nodded lightly, although she was very anxious, she did not lose the attitude of the eldest princess: "Someone vented to me about today's matter. Although the queen mother did not say it clearly in the court, the person who has her heart must be my Pearl. Zhu'er's 14th birthday has not yet passed, how can she marry Dongling, thousands of miles away, to be a princess."

"Princess means..."

Seeing Xie Xiangying's question, Xuanhua cut straight to the point and said, "As long as the emperor can keep Yizhu, I am willing to help the emperor."

A hand in hand.

Seeing that Xie Xiangying did not speak, Xuanzhang said again: "After my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will kill. Since I have a regent king to assist the emperor in Daqi, it is unfair for the snake and scorpion woman to sit in the court. If the emperor wishes Keep Zhu'er, one day when Concubine Shen dismounts, I can guarantee that the Prince Regent's Mansion will produce a queen. In this way, uncle, you can rest easy."

The eldest princess is in a hurry, he is the servant of the prince regent's mansion besides himself, how can there be such a queen.

Xie Xiangying himself had no intention of destroying this triangle. After all, it is easy to conquer the country but difficult to defend the country. Pulling the empress dowager off the horse means suppressing the Shen family.One hair in the court can move the whole body, and he stands in the light with such a vague identity, which may not guarantee peace in the future.

The Shen family can't move for the time being, and she has to think of another way to save Princess Yizhu.

"Princess, don't worry, this king will never watch his grandniece being plotted against by others. Dongling Kingdom is now in full swing, and I'm afraid it will still make a fuss about the prince of Dongling. And give this king some time, when the time comes It's time to think of a way and send someone to the princess mansion."

The little emperor is the old son of the first emperor, and he is a sibling with the eldest princess. One side is an adoptive mother, and the other is a real sister. It must be a dilemma in this matter.

The phoenix wearing the peony by the side of the bun swayed slightly, and Xuanhua got the verbal promise from the regent, and half of her suspended heart was let go.After all, it was not Concubine Shen's turn to speak in this court.

The smile on her face came back a bit, and the eldest princess forced a smile and said: "Then the palace is waiting for the good news from the emperor. By the way, the former Yan'er went hunting in Beiyuan and caught a deer. I thought about it for a long time. I can't see you, so let me bring it here, and please accept it with a smile."

"Thank you, Yan'er, for my king."

"In that case, let's go. The envoy is here, and there are still many things to worry about. The emperor's uncle has just finished his morning court, so let's take a rest."

Xuanhua stood up slowly.

Xie Xiangying glanced at Zhuo Ying, and Zhuo Ying went to see off the grand niece knowingly.

The parrot in the house called twice.

Xie Xiangying got up to look at the parrot on the shelf, then unchained the parrot's feet the next moment, and said to Ah Zhao: "Keep this bird in your room, and exchange some cute pigeons for me."

"Yes."

After Ah Zhao finished speaking, he carried out the Minghui Hall together with the bird and the shelf.

Ah Zhao was picked up by Zhuo Ying from the slave den sent to the outside of the Great Wall, and worked as a groom in the Prince Regent's Mansion for two years.This person was taken by Zhuo Ying, and he didn't have many chances to get along with the original regent, Xie Xiangying looked honest, so he simply transferred to his side.Unexpectedly, he is a rare good boy who does things neatly.

After seeing off the eldest princess, Xie Xiangying went back to Qi Cui Ju and crooked.After finally finding a soft place, the person collapsed on the ground as if he had lost his bones, his eyes were so heavy that he couldn't open them anymore.

After drinking some soup in a hurry for lunch, Xie Xiangying went back to his seat.

Zhuoying went to see off the eldest princess at noon, and it took a full two hours before returning to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Xie Xiangying saw that she brought back a lot of things, and asked her, "Did the eldest princess keep you for dinner?"

Zhuo Ying nodded, put the things on the low table Xie Xiangying was leaning against, sat on the other side and said, "She asked me if I liked Yan'er from their family."

"Zhou Yan?" Hearing this, Xie Xiangying regained his spirits.Be good, the eldest princess wants to have a queen in the Prince Regent's Mansion, not because she wants her own son to be the emperor, that's too bold.

"What do you think?" Xie Xiangying only asked what she meant.

Zhuoying blinked her eyes and said, "How could I like a brat, besides, I'm only a woman, so I might not like a man."
