[Seventy-five] King of Xiangyang is super fierce

"The Empress Dowager is here—!" Suddenly, the voice of Eunuch Zhang, the chief eunuch, sang, and Zhao Zhen just pushed him away. Unexpectedly, he went to report the matter to the Empress Dowager after a while. Zhao Zhen frowned and lifted his face. The dragon robe went to the door to greet him.

The Empress Dowager is wearing a dark red cloud brocade palace dress today, with a purple fur-studded cloak to keep out the cold, her hair is simply pulled into a bun, and Jingfu's long cotton hairpin is inserted obliquely, and the gold screws on her ears are inlaid with sapphire earrings. Swaying, the wrists were firmly covered by the sleeves, only the string of heavy rosewood beads in the hands could be seen.

With an irresistible air of honor, the queen mother glanced at her son, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I heard that the prince returned from the Songjiang mansion yesterday, why don't you say something to the Ai family?"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was a little embarrassed: "Mother, my son asked the emperor to recruit Bai Yishi for his son. They have just entered the palace not long ago, and they are planning to send someone to invite you over, and then give you a gift for Bai Yishi." seal up."

During the time when the emperor and the empress dowager were dealing with each other, the King of Xiangyang had already quietly hidden Ding Yuehua behind him.

Zhao Zhen walked in the front, and the King of Xiangyang respectfully saluted behind: "I have seen the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Bai Yutang who was standing defiantly next to her, and couldn't help but exaggerate in her heart: What a handsome young man!Little did he know that Bai Yutang saw her and snorted from the bottom of his heart: She is not a fuel-efficient old woman at first sight!

Zhan Zhao's appearance is already top-notch in this imperial court, and now there are many Bai Yutangs, which are on the same level as him in appearance and appearance, they are all first-class talents.

The empress dowager's resentment towards the emperor subsided a little, and said with a light smile, "Since Bai Yishi is a rare talent, the emperor can confer him if he wants to. Ai's family is here today to talk to you about something else."

"It just so happens that the prince is also here, so let's settle the matter of accepting your concubine."

Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Mother...Didn't we agree..."

"What are you talking about?" The queen mother looked up at the emperor, shook her head and said, "Pang Feiyan, the daughter of Grand Master Pang's family, has been mentioned to you many times by the Ai family. That Feiyan was sent to practice martial arts since she was a child, and Grand Master Pang has just picked her up now." Come back, but she is a generous woman, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"In terms of age, she is slightly older than you, so she is mature, stable, gentle and considerate; in terms of appearance, there is no one in the Ai family who can compare with her. Once you see her, you will know that Ai family is not a fool." You, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to like it!"

Zhao Zhen held back his anger, his face changed color, and said: "My queen, no matter how good Pang Feiyan is, I'm not even interested in this matter!"

Zhao Zhen stood in front, how could he dodge in time, just as he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's hand had already approached him with the sound of the wind in her hands, everyone heard a crisp sound, and then saw a bright red palm print on the emperor's face.

Since he grew up, the queen mother has never dealt with him so harshly. Zhao Zhen didn't react for a while, and the king of Xiangyang immediately persuaded him: "The queen mother calms down! The emperor is only talking for a while, why are you so angry! "

The King of Xiangyang took out the letter from his arms, spread it out and said, "To tell you the truth, this time I went to the Songjiang mansion, but I was hunted down by many killers on the way. Their leader is a young man of the Miao nationality. His name is Xu Mengyuan. This letter was collected from him by the minister."

The queen mother was so angry that she kept beating her chest lightly, and clutching her chest, she slowly accepted the letter from King Xiangyang. Seeing it, she almost didn't faint from anger.

"My lord, are you saying that the grand master is the one behind the scenes?"

"Empress Dowager, the evidence is convincing, and I really can't believe it! But Grand Master Pang has always held grudges against the Kaifeng Mansion and the ministers since An Lehou was imprisoned, and now he does such things that harm the interests of the Song Dynasty for revenge. It is simply unacceptable! "

Zhao Zhen lowered his head, his face was full of gloomy sullen expression, "What kind of background is this mother asking me to marry? Grand Master Pang colluded with the Miao people, it is an unforgivable crime, do you still want me to make his daughter a noble concubine?" !?"

When the queen mother heard Zhao Zhen's words, she felt a little more guilty, and sighed: "If the emperor doesn't like her, what about Guo Ling, the granddaughter of the military governor of Pinglu?

Zhao Zhen knelt down, the queen mother was startled, and quickly reached out to help her, but she heard Zhao Zhen's tone resolutely said: "Mother, the minister already has a loved one, and the minister will not marry anyone except her."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing it was funny: "Which family is it? You can just tell the Ai family directly. If the family background is innocent, how could the Ai family stop you?"

"You are the emperor, let alone three wives and four concubines, even if the harem has three thousand, it is reasonable. Why don't you marry her, nonsense!"

Although Zhao Zhen's temperament is gentle and obedient, he is also very stubborn. He only said: "She is not the daughter of a prominent family, but the daughter of the general soldier of Xiongguan in Songjiang Prefecture. I want to make her the queen."

When the queen mother heard this, she was so angry that she almost couldn't stand still, and she didn't help Zhao Zhen anymore. She let the dignified emperor kneel like this in front of everyone, shook her head and scolded: "Queen...you want to make her a queen? Do you know that the queen wants to make her a queen?" What kind of woman can be a woman, and what kind of background is needed to be a woman?"

"Even Aijia never had the qualifications to be a queen..."

"Yes!" Zhao Zhen was furious when he heard that, "It is because you are not qualified to be a queen that you 'kindly' accepted me as your son. I was not your own, so you have never done anything since childhood. I thought about it! You just want to take power and govern yourself, and use a son like me to ascend to today's position. Now that you have achieved your goal, why don't you just become emperor! What do you want me to do!?"

"Niezi!" The queen mother fell back and fell on Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly patted her on the shoulder. How many wolf ambitions are coveting the seat you sit in? The Ai family didn't want to listen to politics behind the curtain. For you, they forced themselves into this appearance. Do you know how many people who worshiped you when you were young hinted at the Ai family's proclaiming the emperor, and offered "The Picture of Empress Wu's Facing the Court" was given to the Ai family, but they were all burned by the Ai family... burnt it!!"

"Everything Aijia did was not for you, nor for myself, but for your father, and for Aijia's husband!"

"You guess Aijia like this now..." The queen mother burst into tears, "The Aijia let you take charge of the government and return all your things to you. The Aijia has a clear conscience for the Song Dynasty and is worthy of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty. Your royal father, the Ai family will no longer care about you!"

The king of Xiangyang was startled when he heard this, and wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but before he could speak, the queen mother was about to leave, Zhao Zhen was scolded so badly by her, it took him a while to recover, he knelt and hugged the queen mother's leg, choked up Said: "Empress, son-in-law made a mistake, son-in-law didn't intend to say those words, son-in-law..."

The Empress Dowager wiped away her tears, her face had returned to calm, tired and indifferent, she said softly: "Your Majesty, you are not the son of Ai's family, nor do you regard Ai's family as your mother, you can do whatever you want."

"I don't mean that..." Zhao Zhen was stunned, his hand suddenly lightened, and he quickly grabbed the corner of the Queen Mother's skirt, "I marry Guo Ling, marry her!"

Thanks to the kindness of nurturing him for several years, the only one in the palace who was still with him was the queen mother alone. She had blocked too many innocent disasters for him, and Zhao Zhen would never forget this feeling no matter what. After a breath, his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, "The queen mother likes Guo Ling, so my minister will make her queen, and I will never show any disrespect to the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager was still reluctant to part with Zhao Zhen, and most of her anger had dissipated when she heard the words. She stopped on the spot and helped Zhao Zhen up, stretched out her hand to wipe off the dust on Zhao Zhen's body, and said leisurely: "If the emperor likes it, send the daughter of the Xiongguan General Soldier It is also possible to be a noble concubine when you come to the palace. How can the queen mother not consider you? It's just that we must first consider the Great Song Dynasty, and then ourselves."

Zhao Zhen's heart had already cracked silently in her indifferent words. He didn't laugh or get angry, and replied lightly: "No need, just listen to the queen mother."

After the queen mother left, King Xiangyang shook his head regretfully, and turned to look at Ding Yuehua, only to find that the latter was not crying, but his expression was a little dull, as if he hadn't realized what the emperor had just said in front of the queen mother.

Before Zhao Zhen had time to have a proper conversation with Ding Yuehua, he experienced the empress dowager's incident. Now he looked at Ding Yuehua, but he didn't dare to speak again.

The King of Xiangyang sighed, seeing Ding Yuehua being wronged, Bai Yutang felt unhappy, and wanted to do something just now, worried that this was a private matter of the royal family and it was not easy to intubate, so he didn't speak.

After the queen mother left, he wanted to teach the emperor a lesson, "Your Majesty, you sent Mao'er and the others to bring my sister over from all over the world, why, just to let her listen to what heartless people like you say in person?"

The word "heartless man" is too unpleasant to hear, the emperor was shocked, and Ding Yuehua immediately pulled Bai Yutang back, "Fifth brother...it's okay."

Ding Yuehua was embarrassed just now, but now he is much more generous. He dared to look directly at Zhao Zhen, took a deep look at him, and then smiled and said, "I have never been to Kaifeng, so I will come here to gain experience. And you said you can take me with you." Pretending to be a bodyguard, I am imposing everywhere, and I am not bad at martial arts, I will help you patrol in Kaifeng, and I will go back after a while."

"How can I stay in Kaifeng all the time, my mother will miss me."

Zhan Zhao had already expected the current situation. He was often in the court, so he naturally knew how powerful the Empress Dowager was, but the King of Xiangyang forgot about it and allowed her to be full of joy, but now it broke everything, which is really cruel.

"Zhou'er..." Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, and Ding Yuehua immediately shouted: "Your Majesty!"

"Uncle Wang always said that you are a wise emperor and a good emperor. I saw it today, and I am very happy. After the Song Dynasty, you will definitely get better and better."

Seeing this, Bai Yutang couldn't help being furious, he held Ding Yuehua by the hand, and said bitterly, "Let's go!"

The king of Xiangyang said his goodbyes and left with them. Eunuch Zhang came back after seeing off the queen mother, only to see the emperor standing quietly at the door of the imperial study, with one hand gently brushing the fallen leaves from outside the courtyard, and with the other behind his back, His expression was indifferent, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
