Chapter 123: After the waste of Xiaoqi

Views:

Xiao Qi sat in the Kunning Palace, feeling restless for some reason, she couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and walked back and forth restlessly.

Ever since the news that the emperor was defeated and captured, Xiao Qi has been shrouded in a huge sense of unreality. How could it be possible, with so many troops and so many accompanying people, how could it be impossible to defeat the barbarians in the north who were savage and bloody? It must be that the soldiers were poorly trained, and the people accompanying them were also greedy for life and fear of death, which made the emperor suffer this kind of grievance.

Xiao Qi has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he does not understand or know how the outside courtiers value integrity. Even if the emperor was captured, what Xiao Qi thought about was whether the emperor would take anger at her when he came back, but she never thought that she would pay for her words and deeds.

She is the supreme queen, and it is their honor for these slave people to sacrifice their lives for her. Who would dare to admit her wrong

After Xiao Qi walked around for a few laps, she felt much calmer. She sat back on the splendid couch, took a sip of tea, and immediately knocked to the ground irritably: "What is this, a strange smell."

Qiu Shuang hurriedly stepped forward, lowered her head and said, "Niangniang, this is the ginseng tea you just ordered. You said that after you woke up this morning, your heart palpitations, and the Taiyuan Hospital gave you a prescription for medicinal food, which was just delivered by the imperial kitchen. "

"Bengong has no appetite, so I have to cancel and redo it all."

Xiao Qi's nature is extravagant, and it is not uncommon for the front foot to order the back foot to get bored. The harem has long been accustomed to the extravagant pomp of the empress. She is the empress, the supreme mother of the state, and she deserves all the extravagance. As for where the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes from, it doesn't matter to them.

Empress Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously, but this time, as soon as she lowered her head, she heard someone in front of her say, "It's all like this, the Empress is still picky about food and clothing, which is really eye-opening."

Qiu Shuang, who was standing in front of the queen, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, forgive me, it's not what the servant said."

Xiao Qi has never been offended like this before. She was furious in her heart, and swept her eyes towards the source of the sound like a knife. She wanted to see who had the courage to point her out.

Chu Jinyao led someone to stand at the door, her brows indifferent, and she was calm in the eyes of Xiao Qi, who was about to slash him: "Empress Empress, it's been a long time."

"It's you." Queen Qi's eyes narrowed. She heard that Chu Jinyao had returned to the palace yesterday. She regretted that Chu Jinyao didn't die outside. However, apart from sneering in her heart, Queen Qi didn't take it to heart. Now that Chu Jinyao is pregnant, she must be avoiding her like a mouse hiding from a cat. Queen Qi never thought that Chu Jinyao would take the initiative. come see her.

"It's really strange, the crown princess was busy hiding outside the palace a few days ago, how dare you come to the Kunning Palace in this palace now?" Xiao Qihou sneered, her expression full of unwelcome, "What are you doing here? "

"The Empress has been worrying too much, and I don't want to see your face. When I take things, the Empress will be able to stay quietly by herself."

Xiao Qihou instinctively felt that something was wrong: "What do you mean?"

Chu Jinyao didn't bother to talk to her, so she directly ordered the palace servants behind: "Go and fetch Fengyin over here."

When Xiao Qihou heard this, he stood up from the couch in surprise: "Bold! This palace is the queen, there is no queen mother in the palace, and this palace is the most honorable person, who of you dares to make trouble in front of this palace! "

Chu Jinyao raised his hand, and the eunuch behind him agreed, and immediately stepped forward with an edict: "The prince's order: The empress is arrogant in discussing the state affairs, working with the Liu Dang to make troubles beyond the rules, has lost the empress's virtue, and has no manners to set an example for the six palaces. Now I have taken the phoenix seal of the Queen's Middle Palace, so that she lives in the Kunning Palace and thinks about it, and no one is allowed to visit."

When Xiao Qi heard this sentence, his eyes widened in astonishment, and when he reacted, he became furious: "Bengong is the queen, he is just the prince, what qualifications does he have to deal with this palace?"

"Queen, you may have forgotten that now the sixth division is hanging in the air, and it is the crown prince who supervises the country." Chu Jinyao sighed when he said this, "And you urged the emperor to go to the army in person. You are not to blame for the death of more than 60 imperial court humerus, how can you rest 300,000 dead souls, and how can you calm the anger of the world?"

"It's their useless defeat, what's the matter with Ben Gong?" After Xiao Qi still didn't feel that it was her fault, she looked at Chu Jinyao and sneered, "Ben Gong knows that you and Qin Yi are just trying to take revenge on Ben Gong. That's all. This palace warns you, I am the queen who was personally appointed by the emperor, and your mother-in-law. If you commit the following crimes, you will confine your mother-in-law.

Chu Jinyao was too lazy to talk to Queen Qi anymore. No matter what she said, Queen Qi didn't think she was wrong. She enjoyed the worship of thousands of Li people, but she never felt that she had anything to do with the fate of this country. Is it the queen's fault that Xuanfu lost the battle? of course not. But since she was in this position, she had persuaded the emperor to go to war in person before, but now that a shocking change has occurred, she thought of staying out of it, how could there be such a good thing in the world.

Xiao Qi then watched as Fengyin, a symbol of the status of the queen, was forcibly taken away. Chu Jinyao lifted the brocade cloth to check it, and then waved to take it away. Chu Jinyao stood outside the palace with her hands tied, and gave an order in a low voice. Immediately, many eunuchs stepped forward, closed the doors and windows of the Kunning Palace, and quickly affixed the seal.

"What are you doing, this palace will see who dares!" Xiao Qi was shocked and angry when he saw this scene, but without the phoenix seal, the queen is just a name, how can she be worthy of the real power in the palace. Xiao Qi then watched helplessly as his palace was sealed up, and the splendid Kunning Palace suddenly darkened, as if the sunlight could not come in. Chu Jinyao nodded towards Xiao Qi behind the only open palace door: "Empress, just think about it in the palace. The sixth palace and the outside won't let you worry about it. ."

There was a vague noise outside, and the voice was a young woman. She seemed to want to force her way, but she cried and scolded after she failed. After Xiao Qi heard the voice, this was her daughter, the second princess Qin Yan, the daughter of Jin Zunyugui.

The second princess came to cry, but Chu Jinyao didn't even turn her head back.

After Xiao Qi, the queen lived in name only, and was charged with such crimes as chaotic chaos. Disrupting the imperial court is not of the same order of magnitude as mutilating the emperor's heir and oppressing the palace concubine. She was almost deposed, so what would happen to her children, King Lu and the second princess

After Xiao Qi opened her eyes like that, watching the tall and heavy temple door closed little by little, Chu Jinyao's figure gradually only had a skirt left, and then, even the last ray of sunlight was locked out of the door.

Xiao Qi also lost his strength and fell to the ground. She murmured incredulously: "How is it possible, I am the queen, he is just the prince, how can he leapfrog my power."

Qiu Shuang walked over quietly, knelt gently behind Xiao Qi, and said, "Niang Niang, it's not necessarily a leapfrog."

"What did you say?"

"The servants just heard from outsiders that the cabinet proposed that the country should not be without a monarch for a day, and has already proposed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be enthroned and become an emperor by himself."

Xiao Qi then snapped off the agate beads on his wrist with a bang. The bright and smooth beads bounced around on the carpet, and gradually rolled to every corner, nowhere to be found.

In the harem, the power to rule the palace has been transferred to Chu Jinyao smoothly and without negotiation, and the previous dynasty was also discussing this matter enthusiastically.

"His Royal Highness." An old official said earnestly, almost bowing to the ground, "The country cannot be without a master for a day, now the emperor has fallen into the hands of Oara, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the country is in trouble. In response to the people's hearts, we should ascend to the throne early to rule the Kyushu and stabilize the people's hearts!"

The other courtiers also knelt down to the ground: "Please, His Royal Highness, the crown prince!"

Qin Yi has been in the Palace of Wenhua for so many years, and this is the first time he feels a dilemma.

If he said that he didn't want the throne, it would be pure nonsense. If he didn't want to be the emperor, then why should he occupy the crown prince's position and work hard for so many years? But when this opportunity was really in front of him, Qin Yi hesitated.

It shouldn't be. Qin Yi couldn't tell what was wrong, but his intuition told him that this development was not right. Just like when General Hu saw Chu Jinxian, everyone testified that it was the Crown Princess, but General Hu somehow felt that something was wrong. That is the experience and first judgment accumulated over the years by licking blood with a knife. The reason has not yet figured out the reason, and the intuition has already noticed the danger and trap.

Qin Yi finally resisted the biggest temptation in his life. Qin Yi shook his head, and his tone was also very firm: "The emperor is still in the hands of the enemy, and the capital is also in danger. How can we focus on such things at this time. The top priority is to restore the country's prestige, defend against foreign enemies, and put the emperor on the line. Welcome back to the capital. There is no need to mention this matter again, and I will never agree to it."

The courtiers, both inside and outside, fell on their knees, requesting in unison that Qin Yi should be enthroned first, and the enthronement ceremony would be completed later. But Qin Yi still shook his head. After saying these words, his mind was instantly clouded, and his thoughts were surprisingly clear.

It was a strange thing, and he couldn't take this step.

Seeing that Qin Yi was resolutely unwilling, the courtiers looked at each other and did not dare to push too hard. Qin Yi was the crown prince before the emperor left, but now that the emperor is captured, Qin Yi is basically a king. No matter how hard they work, they are still officials. How dare they fight against the current uncrowned king.

The matter of ascending the throne was deliberately avoided by everyone, and then another courtier proposed to move the capital: "Prince, the emperor was blinded by the traitorous party, and the 300,000-strong army of the capital was destroyed. It is in danger. For the consideration of His Royal Highness and the foundation of our ancestors, His Royal Highness should immediately move back to the old capital of Jinling. Jinling is in front of the river, and there is a granary in the south of the Yangtze River. There are 100,000 defenders outside the old capital. Choose!"

As soon as these words fell, someone immediately agreed, Qin Yi held back his anger, and said solemnly: "The ancestors left their ancestral teachings as early as the establishment of the dynasty, and in the end, I will have a dynasty, no kinship, no indemnity, no ceding land, no acceptance. Gong. Since the ancestors moved the capital north to Yanyun, my Qin disciples are the first group of defense lines to face the iron hoofs of foreign enemies. The emperor guards the gate of the country. If we move the capital to the south, the gate of the country will also move south to Jianghan. Yu handed over half of the country to others? I waited for those who study to govern the country, and then what face will I have to meet the people of Dawn, and what face will I have to go underground to meet the ancestors?"

In the huge palace, you could hear needles falling, but no one spoke. Qin Yi Zhenxiu stood up, his eyes slowly swept across the audience: "If the capital is moved, I don't want to hear it a second time. Immediately, the whole city is ready for war, and all those who leave the city without military orders during the war will be shot and killed. , the unborn child, and you and others, died together."
