Emperor Jing Ming locked himself in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and did not go to court, nor the queen, nor the prince, but summoned the prince alone.
Standing in the dimly lit hall, Jiang Si bowed his knees and bowed to Emperor Jing Ming: "My daughter-in-law has seen my father."
Emperor Jing Ming glanced at Jiang Si and said to Pan Hai, "You all go down."
Pan Hai hesitated for a moment.
This is a little inappropriate.
"Um?"
Emperor Jing Ming raised his eyebrows, and Pan Hai quickly retreated with a group of palace servants.
The emperor can do whatever he wants, there is nothing inappropriate!
Only Jiang Si and Emperor Jing Ming were left in the hall.
Emperor Jing Ming gave Jiang Si a deep look.
Jiang Si took the initiative to speak: "What does the royal father have to tell his daughter-in-law?"
Emperor Jing Ming was silent for a moment, his voice seemed older than before in the empty hall: "Old Seventh Daughter-in-law, I have a question to ask you."
"Father, please speak."
Emperor Jing Ming asked slowly, "Are you the Crown Princess of Da Zhou, or the Holy Maiden of Wu Miao?"
Jiang Si's heart was shocked, but she replied without hesitation: "Of course the daughter-in-law is Da Zhou's Crown Princess, A Jin's wife."
Emperor Jing Ming stared at her, and what he saw was this woman's calm and magnanimous appearance.
He smiled and said softly: "I understand, you can step back."
"Daughter-in-law retire." Jiang Si bowed his knees and withdrew.
Returning to the East Palace, Yu Jin asked, "Why did you come back so soon, what is your father looking for you?"
Jiang Xiping stepped back from the palace servants and said softly, "My father asked me if I was the Crown Princess of Dazhou or the Holy Maiden of Wumiao."
Yu Jin was startled, and his expression gradually became serious: "Is your father suspicious?"
Jiang Si sighed: "My father is just a little confused."
How can an emperor who has been in power for decades and not fainted really be confused.
"Then how did you answer?"
Jiang Si curled her lips and smiled: "Do you still need an answer, of course I am your crown princess."
Yu Jin's eyes were bright, and he embraced his crown princess in his arms.
Emperor Jing Ming summoned Jiang Si, and then summoned Han Ran, the commander of Jin Linwei.
Among the foreign ministers, no one knows better than Han Ran the reasons for the emperor's decadence these days. When he was summoned at this time, he was undoubtedly flustered.
He couldn't help but panic, he knew too much!
"Wei Chen has seen the emperor."
Emperor Jing Ming looked down at his close minister who was kneeling on one knee, and his mood was very complicated.
After countless thoughts to silence this guy, he still did not act.
He is the Son of Heaven, the person who stands at the highest point in Da Zhou. It is very shameful to be known about the scandal, but there is no one to share a secret, how lonely it is
Emperor Jing Ming admired Han Ran's nervousness for a while, and then said, "Han Ran, I have an errand for you to handle."
"Please instruct the emperor."
"Wumiao and Xuemiao have the same origin and have been fighting for a long time, but now Xuemiao has completely lost the advantage. You arrange for some people to take root in the southern border and help Xuemiao secretly."
Han Ran was surprised: "Help Xuemiao?"
He thought that the emperor would take care of the Xue Miao family, but he did not expect such an order.
Emperor Jing Ming smiled indifferently: "When you watch a play, you need to be evenly matched to watch the show, so let's go."
He didn't believe what Elder Hua said.
It is certain that the queen mother is an alien pawn, but it is difficult to say whether it was sent by Wu Miao or Xue Miao.
Since he can't be sure, he certainly won't kill the Xue Miao people with one shot.
It is in Da Zhou's best interest to sit and watch the two races from the same source compete for each other.
After that, Emperor Jingming summoned several important officials, and the door of the imperial study was closed for a long time before it was opened.
Two days later, Emperor Jing Ming finally went to court.
The civil and military officials were moved to tears, and looking at Emperor Jing Ming on the dragon chair, he had the illusion of being a newlywed.
I don’t know how many ministers thought to themselves: They used to be too dissatisfied, it’s really good to have an emperor like the emperor, and they won’t quarrel with the emperor in the future... Uh, this is not realistic, then stick to the emperor for half a year, so as not to The emperor stopped the court for unknown reasons.
"Proclaim it."
Pan Hai unfolded the jade axis and said loudly: "The emperor has always ruled the world, and it is not unreasonable to respect the heaven and the ancestors as the first priority... The crown prince will be enthroned, that is, the emperor..."
Full of uproar.
This turned out to be an edict of renunciation!
"emperor-"
In the face of the excited ministers, Emperor Jing Ming said lightly: "I have been feeling very unwell recently, and I want to take care of my life, so you don't need to persuade me any more."
All the ministers looked at Gu Shangshu and the others.
Gu Shangshu and the others all looked calm, obviously they were insiders.
The ministers were dumbfounded.
Emperor Jing Ming turned his attention to the Minister of Rites: "Prepare for the ceremony of renunciation."
After the ceremony of renunciation, the new emperor ascended the throne. At this point, Da Zhou ushered in a new master.
After Yu Jin ascended the throne, according to the custom, he canonized hundreds of officials and amnesty the world. The atmosphere in the capital is as warm as this summer.
It was easier for Jiang Shi, who became the queen, to meet the Great Elder. After some arrangements, he saw the disguised Great Elder in the palace.
In the inner room, Jiang Si poured a cup of tea for the first elder himself: "The first elder is leaving?"
The first elder took the tea cup and did not drink it, but stared at her deeply: "It's time to go."
Jiang Si raised his glass and touched his lips: "Then I wish the elders a smooth journey and return to Wumiao to preside over the overall situation soon."
"Thank you—" The elder hesitated for a while, but still said, "Thank you saintess."
Jiang Xi didn't deny the title, and asked silently for a moment, "At this point, are you still willing to tell me the other two hexagrams?"
The first elder smiled slightly: "At this time, are the other two hexagrams still important to the saint?"
Jiang Si blinked her eyes, her voice carried the tenderness of a young woman: "It's important, I'm a curious person, if I don't know that I can't sleep well, I won't have the energy to be this Queen of Zhou in the long run, let alone other things. ."
The corner of the elder's mouth froze with a smile.
It was still a zen-like conversation just now, how did it turn into this in the blink of an eye
The Holy Maiden actually threatened her brightly, she is already old, is this girl embarrassed
But at this point, some secrets really don't need to be covered.
The Great Elder finally spoke up: "The former Great Elder was still incapable of fortune-telling for the first hexagram, and the meaning of the hexagram was vague. I only knew that the prosperity of Wumiao was vaguely related to the Great Zhou Wudi."
Jiang Si was stunned: "Just because of a vague hexagram, sent the queen mother to Da Zhou?"
The first elder looked at Jiang Shi and said, "It's about the survival of our clan, so I would rather believe it or not. Now it seems that there is a bit of a mistake..."
Jiang Si: "…"
"The second hexagram says that you already know that the Seventh Son of the Dragon will bring the dawn to dispel the darkness of Wumiao."
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes and pondered deeply, and asked, "After A Jin was born, he was sent out of the palace with the reputation of preventing the emperor, is it related to this?"
The first elder nodded: "The queen mother received such an order, but she doesn't know this hexagram. The third hexagram is a bit weird-"
"What is it?"
The first elder spit out two words: "Borrow the seed."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "So, my grandmother was not let down by the scholars, but—"
The Great Elder looked complicated: "She should be considered unintentional. She got a hint from the hexagrams that borrowed seeds, and the clan arranged for 2,918 young women to come to Da Zhou, and they became the wives and concubines of Da Zhou men. After giving birth to a boy, he continued to live until he gave birth to a daughter, and returned to Wumiao with this daughter..."
Jiang Xi didn't want to listen any more: "Elder elder doesn't need to say anymore, I understand."
Regarding the survival of the family, she could understand Wu Miao's approach, but could not appreciate it.
The first elder obviously understood Jiang Si's thoughts, and sighed in his heart: But we did it right after all, didn't we
The big elder quietly left, just as she quietly came to Da Zhou, but when she went back, she had a companion.
Jiang Xiyin was not very interested in the third hexagram.
Yu Jin ran to make her happy.
"Asi, is the Great Elder gone?"
"gone."
"It's good to go, and she won't be allowed to come again in the future." He doesn't welcome this kind of evil guest who makes Ah Xian unhappy!
Jiang Si was a little distressed: "I still have the Holy Maiden Wumiao. If Wumiao has something to do in the future, I'm afraid I have to contribute."
Yu Jin knew her embarrassment, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, I will kill Xue Miao for a few years to keep the father and emperor happy. If Wu Miao is less worried, there will be no more troubles to bother you."
When it comes to the Supreme Emperor, Jiang seems to be unable to help but smile: "Speaking of which, since the father became the Supreme Emperor, the laughter has increased."
Yu Jin's face darkened.
The old man is fine, otherwise why would he throw the stall to him so early.
"Your Majesty, it's not good—" Xiao Lezi hurried over.
Yu Jin raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Xiao Lezi ran out of breath: "Tai, the Emperor Tai-"
Yu Jin and Jiang Si looked at each other and hurriedly stood up: "What happened to the Emperor Taishang?"
A handful of old people are no better than young people, but don't have any physical problems.
Xiao Lezi panted and said, "The Emperor Taishang saw that General Xiaotian and Jixiang were fighting again, and ran over to persuade him to fight, but General Xiaotian was thrown down!"
As soon as Yu Jin and Jiang Si heard it, they hurried to the imperial garden, and from a distance they saw Emperor Jing Ming throwing a golden willow branch at Er Niu angrily and roaring: "With such a big dog, can't it be a little bit more auspicious? what?"
If you don't let auspiciousness, you should let him, the emperor, be a little bit!
Yu Jin and Jiang Si looked at each other and smiled, no longer disturbing the Taishanghuang who taught Erniu, and walked to the place where the flowers were blooming.
