Years of crusade have made the national strength of Yangyang Daliang weaken day by day, while the Xiongnu, the victorious party, has become stronger and stronger, making it not only increase its ambition, but also its strength slowly. Several defeats are not enough. Make this powerful nation rapidly weakened.
It takes time.
Even if the Xiongnu's civil strife and her secret manipulation will gradually weaken their strength, it still takes time, but Zhao Zimu can't wait.
Therefore, the document passed from the northwest to the capital was handed over like this, and all she could do was wait.
As for the Crown Prince's Mansion in the East Palace in the capital at this time, Situ Yaohua turned his back to Lin Xiandao: "Uncle, you must have known that today, the father and the emperor summoned Xuan'er again, praising him for his filial piety, sensible, sensible, sensible and sensible, not only his own dragon The royal reward was given to him, and he also rewarded him with three East China Sea Orbs and a box of Western Regions Glazed Glass, and personally gave him a pair of words to teach him, if it was only once, but he rewarded Situ Yu again and again. What does Xuan mean? How will the ministers view me?!
There is also Lin Qing, half of the court is now his wings, don't think that Ben Gong still can't see what he wants to do! "
With a bang, Situ Yaohua smashed a vase, covered his face with a trembling hand and leaned on the chair weakly, and said in a trembling voice, "Bengong defeated Situ Jinkang, and Situ Wenrui was forced to leave. It can be said that Ben Gong single-handedly facilitated it, but why was it all the eunuch who profited in the end!
Did he think that supporting the little guy Situ Yuxuan would be able to beat Ben Gong? !
Ben Gong is the future master of Daliang, Ben Gong…”
"His Royal Highness, be careful!" Lin Xian hurriedly stopped Situ Yaohua from what he said next. How could he say such outrageous words
Lin Xian was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, and while preventing Situ Yaohua from continuing to speak, he said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are the eldest son of the queen no matter what, not to mention that my dynasty has grown up since ancient times, and you Not only are you diligent in political affairs, but you also rarely make mistakes in your actions. There is no reason for Your Majesty to abolish you, and even if your Majesty is full of thoughtful civil and military affairs, you will not agree."
"You really won't agree?" Situ Yaohua said quietly.
Lin Xian said without hesitation, "It's impossible."
"Ha, haha." Situ Yaohua covered his face with one hand, and waved at him tiredly with the other: "Uncle, I want to be alone for a while."
Lin Xian opened his mouth, and finally gave a respectful salute and left.
This nephew of his is thoughtful, and he likes to calculate everything, but once he suffers a blow, he will be like this now.
Lin Xian knew that persuasion was useless, and he had to think about it himself. Finally, he glanced at the splendid prince's palace, sighed helplessly, and staggered away.
It was quiet in the bedroom. Situ Yaohua sat alone on a luxurious chair in the center of the hall. After a while of silence, Situ Yaohua raised his head and looked at the person standing in the hall.
"How long have you been here?" Situ Yaohua asked the humane standing below.
"Big brother." Situ Yuanxiao nodded and said, "I'll be here after my uncle left."
Situ Yaohua was silent for a while and then said, "What's the matter?"
As soon as he said the words, he realized that there was a deep resentment in his tone, but he couldn't take it back after he said it, so he just looked at him silently.
"I went to see the emperor today, and the eighth brother is here." Situ Yuanxiao was silent for a while and said, "Lin Qing is also there."
Situ Yaohua held back his anger and said, "What did they say?"
"My father is full of praise for the eighth younger brother. Not only did he show his style when he was young, but he also rewarded him with a lot of things. Even his most cherished jade inkstone also rewarded him and encouraged him to study hard. , in the future, he will make great achievements for this country.
The mother-in-law was also present at the time, but she didn't have the slightest chance to interject. Instead, it was Concubine Hui who kept talking and laughing with her father.
Lin Qing also praised how the eighth brother was well-behaved, filial, sensible, and intelligent, and said how his master praised him.
Although I also mentioned you," Situ Yuanxiao looked at Situ Yaohua again and said carefully, "But the royal father did not say a few more words. "
"Situ Yuanxiao!" Situ Yaohua said angrily, "Why did you tell me this? Are you trying to mock me with sincerity?"
"Big brother..." Situ Yuanxiao said.
Situ Yuanxiao looked at His Highness and Situ Yuanxiao, who was wearing the same dragon robe but a different color, and suddenly smiled slowly: "The fifth brother has a lot of time to come back, eldest brother heard that you have been staying in the mansion since you came back. , I rarely come out and walk around, I thought you were complaining about lovesickness with your sweet wife and concubine at home, but how did the eldest brother hear that you have locked yourself up by yourself since you came back, no one is seen, and you live like a Living like a monk, why do you have time to come to me today?"
Situ Yaohua's expression was like a smile but not a smile, as if he had seen through everything, Situ Yuanxiao was silent for a while and then said: "Brother is just here to see eldest brother, eldest brother's thoughts brother does not understand, brother is just tired and just wants to rest. , I hope big brother don't misunderstand."
"I know what you're thinking." Situ Yaohua rubbed his temples and smiled, then waved to him, "If there's nothing else you can go down."
Situ Yuanxiao clasped his fists and saluted and left, staring at the back of his leaving, Situ Yaohua couldn't help sneering.
Don't think he can't see what he's doing, Situ Yuanxiao was very polite to him just now, but if someone who has always been polite suddenly becomes polite, either he is asking for something or has another purpose.
But Situ Yaohua knew better than Situ Yuanxiao that his younger brother would be polite to others when he felt ashamed, and politeness represented alienation.
Deliberately saying these words in front of him is to provoke their conflict, why? Does he also want to fight for the throne? Or for whom
Situ Yuanxiao likes Zhao Zimu (Zhao Zhong), Situ Yaohua has long been secretly aware of it, and that Zhao Zhong is Lin Qing's person.
Hehe, it's really interesting, Situ Yaohua couldn't help laughing, his smile was full of unknown meaning.
The next day, in the Cining Palace, the imperial doctor took a pulse for the old lady who was lying on the bed.
The empress dowager was very old, so she accidentally caught a cold when she went out for a walk, and she didn't feel better after the cold, so Emperor Jing Hui hurried over with Lin Qing.
After the imperial doctor diagnosed the queen mother, her face was a little ugly. No matter how old the queen mother is, if you don't pay attention to a little illness, it will become a serious one.
The imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, and then led the people to decoct the medicine. Lin Qing comforted Emperor Jing Hui and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother Hong Fu Qitian will be fine. I believe that the Queen Mother will recover from a little illness. sad."
Emperor Jing Hui shook his head guiltily, and then said, "It's my fault. I only know how to play all day but I haven't paid my mother a favor for a long time. I'm not filial."
Emperor Jing Hui still had heavy dark circles on his eyes. Lin Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Jing Hui and said, "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of your health."
Emperor Jing Hui's body looks slightly fat and has lost a bit of weight. From time to time, he will appear dizzy, tired and unable to eat. The imperial doctor has told Emperor Jing Hui not to be too indulgent, but an emperor's mind is that no one can Therefore, apart from the empress dowager, Lin Qing was worried that Emperor Jing Hui's body was reaching its limit.
Emperor Jing Hui didn't listen, and it didn't take long for someone outside the door to report to the prince to ask for an interview.
Emperor Jinghui agreed, and Situ Yaohua ran in with tears in his eyes after a while, knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed and cried bitterly, "My grandson is not filial, I didn't take care of you, my grandson knows it's wrong."
While kowtowing to the Queen Mother, Lin Qing gently reminded him, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is already asleep at this time. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to be so loud."
The prince's sad expression suddenly showed a daze, and then he looked at his father with grievance and guilt.
Emperor Jing Hui snorted, then turned around and left, followed by Lin Qing, who finally gave Situ Yaohua a "concern".
Situ Yaohua's body trembled, his face immediately turned blue and black, his eyes were fixed on the back of Lin Qing's departure, and there was a strong viciousness in his eyes.
The official letter from the Northwest arrived, and it went directly to Lin Qing without being reviewed by a few academics.
The book passed immediately and went to the morning court the next day. Zhao Zimu asked for leave to return to Beijing to report on her duties. Everyone knew that she had made great achievements at a young age, and they all wanted to see who this person was.
What's more, the Huns have temporarily stopped the war, and now they are just recalling her to give her a good reward.
But some people agree and others oppose it. Situ Yaohua and others are opposed to this proposal.
Without him, Zhao Zimu is Lin Qing's person. If this person is really brought back, it will make Lin Qing like a tiger with wings. In any case, Situ Yaohua will never allow such a thing to happen.
The courtiers in the hall are fighting together again, and the prince's lineage is eloquent, and Zhao Zhong is an important figure in guarding the northwest against the Huns, not to mention that it is not yet time to relax his vigilance. Let the Huns take advantage of it, and once something happens, the good situation that the Northwest has won with great difficulty will be destroyed, so Zhao Zhong must not be easily recalled.
Although the ministers who opposed it spoke fiercely, what they said was not unreasonable, so Emperor Jing Hui thought about it and finally rejected Zhao Zimu's request.
After retreating in the morning, Situ Yaohua glanced at Lin Qing with a smile, and then was slowly escorted away, while Lin Qing stood quietly for a while and then suddenly flashed madness in his eyes.
He's been waiting long enough... no one can stop her from coming back to him!
