The queen let out a long sigh. As long as Pang Xiao did not rebel, the Zhou Dynasty would still be saved. She believes that she is not a smart woman, and cannot be compared with Princess Zhongshun, but she has been in a high position for a long time, and she often communicates with honorable daughters and relatives.
Whether the world is stable or not depends not entirely on Li Qitian, but on Pang Xiao. If Pang Xiao is willing to serve as a minister, then everything is easy to say. But when Ruo Pang Xiao became rebellious, Li Qitian couldn't resist it at all. This is also the reason why Li Qitian tried to eradicate Pang Xiao several times.
As long as Pang Xiao did not rebel, they would not be attacked by the enemy, and there is still hope for the current crisis to be resolved.
The queen laughed and persuaded: "The sage will calm down, the prince of loyalty and obedience has ordered disaster relief. It is also your duty to buy food to feed the people. Don't get angry. This is a time of internal and external trouble, and the sage and his ministers need to work together to fight the Tartars. At that time, if the sage misunderstood Prince Zhongshun at this time, I am afraid that he will follow the way of someone who has a heart."
The queen's voice was slow and slow. She carefully observed Li Qitian's expression and finished speaking. She didn't see Li Qitian getting angry on the spot. Act lightly.
But who knew that her sigh of relief was too early, Li Qitian raised his eyes and looked at the queen for a long while, and suddenly grabbed something and smashed it on the queen.
The two were not far away, and the queen had no defenses. She only felt a buzzing sound in her head, and a hard object hit her forehead, causing her eyes to turn black in pain, and she even lost her mind for a moment.
Looking at the porcelain plate that fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, Li Qitian's roar was like a roaring lion: "Okay, very good! I have raised some other queens over the years!"
As soon as the queen came back to her senses, she heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that she was talking too much.
Lifting her skirt upright, she knelt down, and the queen kowtowed three times in a row, not caring about the buzzing in her ears and the pain on her head.
"The sage calms down his anger, all the concubines and concubines are for the sake of the sage. Now is the time to resist the Tartars, and there is really no other time to think about. The sage is a wise king of the world, and he thinks clearly about everything. I will talk more. The concubines should not interfere in the affairs of the state, and the concubines will no longer dare."
Li Qitian squinted at the figure of the queen, his anger eased a little.
He still knew something about his wife. This woman is an ordinary village woman, kind and quick to work. She is lucky to marry him, so she has the chance to be the queen. She has been keeping herself safe for all these years, and she has never participated in the affairs of the court. She's so stupid when she's doing things...
If he knew how to do things, how would he intercede for Pang Xiao
Although Li Qitian thought about it, he was still uneasy, and sarcastically said: "It is people like you who are talking about inside and outside. Those ministers in the court have their own factions and have their own considerations. I didn't expect you to be the same here, really It really makes me sick!"
The queen was cold all over, as if she had been thrown into an ice hole in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month.
Back then, when they were just ordinary couples, even if they didn't talk about how sweet they were, they were still a beautiful couple.
It's just that Li Qitian climbed higher and higher, and she became farther and farther away from him, and now she doesn't look down on her anymore!
She is old and pearly, but there are quite a few girls in the palace who are as beautiful as flowers and bones. Thinking of couples for many years, Li Qitian has seen all the prosperous, even if the family love has been completely ground
Although she can comfort herself and think openly, there is a voice in the queen's mind denying her. Pang Xiao and Qin Yining have been married for many years, but Pang Xiao has never treated Qin Yining like Li Qitian treated her in public. She made a fool of herself, disgraced her, and even touched her.
The queen lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly. She didn't know how to persuade Li Qitian, and she didn't know what else to say. She just felt disheartened, and she no longer had the heart to care about what Li Qitian was going to do.
When Li Qitian saw that the Queen was no longer speaking, he felt that Kunning Palace was not interesting for a while, and seeing the Queen's appearance was even more nauseating, so he got up and went out immediately.
The emperor was furious in the queen's palace, and even smashed the queen with dishes. The news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the inner palace. When those concubines came to greet him the next day, they couldn't help but look at the queen's bruised forehead, and some people even laughed wildly in their hearts.
The queen sat in the first place with a decent smile, but her mind was no longer here.
The constant temptation in the words of the concubines and concubines made the queen annoyed for a while.
She simply said bluntly: "I won't talk about the war outside this time, but if you want to come here, you have all heard about it. The Tartar army is like a broken bamboo. Beijing."
There was silence in the house, Ya Que was silent, and the concubines seemed to no longer have the mood to explore the Queen's injury.
Ji Zeyu took his troops and horses to retreat to the capital, which was surrounded by Tartars outside the city walls. Once the city is broken, how can they survive
"Niangniang, did the Holy One say how to arrange our sisters?" A concubine asked boldly.
The queen smiled slightly, looked at the young woman like flowers and jade, and said gently: "You and my sisters are the concubines of the saint, and if you say something unpleasant, if there is such a day, you and I will naturally observe the festival for the saint. ."
So these concubines, if they really catch up with the defeat, they will wipe their necks collectively
Some of the young ones turned pale with fright, and some even cried on the spot.
The queen said: "I haven't progressed to that stage yet, and I won't be defeated like a mountain. But this palace is here to say this, but also to remind you sisters. Think more about it these days, what regrets do you have? If you miss your family, you should write a letter as soon as possible, if there is such a day, this palace will not allow anyone to betray the saint."
The queen squinted and glanced at everyone, and said solemnly, "Do you remember it clearly?"
"Yes." The women stood up and saluted.
The queen nodded and told everyone to disperse, and then ordered the nanny beside her to go to the cold palace: "Go and tell the maid in charge of the cold palace. Concubine Shun should also do it there."
"Yes, the servant will go here."
The queen made some arrangements, so that the concubines and concubines panicked one by one, not knowing what to do for a while. Some people cried a lot while covering themselves with the quilt when they went back, while others hurriedly wrote letters to their homes, trying to find a way out for themselves.
For a time, the palace was full of turmoil, and even the Queen Mother and Li Helan heard the news.
The duo had no time to blame the queen, because they too fell into fear.
The empress dowager was older, but she didn't calm down where to go. When she thought that she was the emperor's mother, she had nowhere to run, so she couldn't help but feel sad, and hugged Li Helan and cried again and again.
On the contrary, Li Helan was more calm.
She is Ji Zeyu's wife. If Ji Zeyu is killed in battle, she will definitely be captured by the Tartars. If there is such a day, as the queen said, they are probably all hanging on a white silk.
Thinking of this, Li Helan calmed down. What matters at this time is not worrying about his own way out, but trying his best to make Da Zhou survive this crisis.
Li Helan told the Queen Mother of her analysis and thoughts, and the Queen Mother immediately ordered someone to find Li Qitian.
Li Qitian is very busy, where is he still in the mood to come to the Ci'an Palace to greet him? The Queen Mother couldn't see anyone, so she had to ask the servants beside her to pass a message to Li Qitian: "Tell the emperor, say what Aijia said, the most important thing now is how to keep the Dazhou Jiangshan from being trampled on by the Tartars. Pang Zhixi has been on the battlefield for a long time. Lan cooperation will definitely be able to repel the Tartars, let the emperor think carefully and look at the long-term."
The house attendant listened to the Queen Mother's words with sweat all over his forehead. He didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to violate the Queen Mother's wishes. But if he goes, he also has a bad premonition, and the saint may not let him go. This situation is basically a dead end.
But the inner servant had no other choice but to go to the imperial study, remove the edge of the Queen Mother's words, and relay the meaning again.
Li Qitian sat behind the paulownia table in the imperial study, his hands gradually tightened, and he grabbed the bright yellow brocade tablecloth, "You son of a dog, is this what the Queen Mother said?"
"Go back to the sage, it's true that the queen mother ordered the servants to say so." The servants kowtowed repeatedly, feeling that their life was over.
Li Qitian sneered, "I can't help with everything in the court, but I never delay when it comes to chaos."
The waiter didn't dare to talk to him, and wished he could pretend that he didn't exist.
"You go and tell the queen mother and let her old man get ready. If the Tartars really break the city, the queen mother will always set an example. Is it possible that the queen mother has been wise all her life, and is not as knowledgeable as the queen?"
This is clearly to get the Queen Mother ready to "go on the road".
The waiter saluted with trepidation and retreated.
Returning to the Ci'an Palace, I told the sage's instructions. As expected, the queen mother suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Nonsense! How could the emperor talk to the Aijia like this, is it because you, a cheap slave, made up!"
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, even if the slaves have the courage, they would not dare to falsely pass on the imperial edict. The sage indeed said so."
The queen mother was dizzy with anger, and she was furious. If it wasn't for her status as the queen mother, she was no longer the village woman she used to be. She was afraid that she would have scolded all the dirty and stinky things.
The queen mother is so flustered, let alone other people
From top to bottom in the entire palace, no one was not flustered. Looking around for a way to survive.
Although Li Qitian hung up on the matter of the court, he had heard several versions of the rumors in the palace.
Before the man reached the capital, someone had already decided that he would be defeated.
Could he really not pass this hurdle this time
Pang Xiao had prepared everything here, and when the army was ready to go, it was three days later.
Qin Yining held an exquisite Shuangliang carved hand warmer, and was carefully supported by Pang Xiao out of the Qin Mansion's house, left the side door in a carriage, and went all the way to the gate of the old capital.
Pang Xiao's mount, Dark Cloud, followed the carriage, and the rest of the guards guarded the carriage.
Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them as soon as they walked out of the city gate.
