"You are presumptuous!" The queen mother slapped the table angrily: "The Ai family has been loving you for so many years, begging for all kinds of things for you, and now you say such things?"
Everyone paused, Yu Wenxi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be angry, I just feel a little wronged, it should be my son's things, why give it to him?"
The empress dowager's mood was very complicated. She persuaded Yu Wenjie to let Yu Wenxi succeed him on impulse at first, but she also regretted it afterwards. After all, Jie'er took the throne himself. She doted on Xi'er so much that Xi'er had a wrong perception, thinking that the throne should belong to him, and it was too late to persuade her now.
After hesitating for a long time, the Empress Dowager said, "Say a few words with Aijia alone."
Yu Wenxi was a little impatient, but still suppressed her anger and asked everyone else in the room to go out.
"The land and mountains of the Yuwen family were brought down by the ancestors of Yuwen." The queen mother looked at him earnestly and said, "Now your brother, the emperor, is doing very well. The people live and work in peace and contentment, without war and hunger. Everyone suffers?"
Prince Xi smiled lightly: "How does the Queen Mother know that the people will suffer if the world falls into the hands of my ministers? This time it is the princes of all walks of life who are going to oppose him, and my ministers have no way to stop it. Rather than letting the throne fall, it is better It fell into the hands of my son, what do you think?"
The queen mother shook her head: "If it falls into your hands, the Ai family will really have no face to go down to see the late emperor."
The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and Prince Xi squinted at her: "What does the queen mother mean by that?"
Her heart was full of struggles, the Queen Mother hesitated for a long time before taking a deep breath: "Even if the throne falls into the hands of a vassal named Yuwen, it cannot fall into your hands. You are not from the Yuwen family."
When there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Prince Xi stayed where he was, subconsciously looked at the closed doors and windows, and then asked, "Why?"
The Empress Dowager supported her forehead, suddenly she seemed to be ten years old, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no reason, it is the crime of the Ai family, and after a hundred years, it will definitely be returned to the first emperor in a pan of oil."
Yu Wenxi frowned, his eyes rolled around several times.
He knew many secrets of the Queen Mother. After he became sensible, he often saw Hua Zhengrong enter the palace. The Queen Mother didn't mean to avoid him, and even asked him to meet with him, saying that Hua Zhengrong was a very learned person.
He didn't understand it when he was a child, and he really thought that Hua Zhengrong was a great person. I didn't know until I grew up that Hua Zhengrong had no achievements and no reputation, and failed the exams many times. Why does the empress look at such a person differently
After inquiring, he found out that the empress mother had a relationship with Hua Zhengrong before entering the palace. After the death of the first emperor, the two of them had less contact with each other, but letters from Huafu were often sent to the palace.
That's why he threatened the queen mother before, saying that he knew about her and Hua Zhengrong. Unexpectedly, the queen mother was really threatened, and it was even better for him.
Now that the queen mother said such things, Yu Wenxi couldn't even think about it. He reached out and grabbed the queen mother's shoulders, his eyes were bloodshot: "I am the evil seed of you and Hua Zhengrong?!"
The queen mother was startled, her heart ached: "You..."
How could you say such a thing
"You don't deny it, so that's it?" Yu Wenxi has always been calm, but now he can't calm down at all. He took a few deep breaths, pushed the Queen Mother onto the soft couch, turned around and kicked the side A vase placed on the floor.
There was a loud bang, the vase fell to pieces, and Yue Jian from outside quickly pushed the door open and came in: "Empress Dowager?"
Yu Wenxi was full of hostility, pushed Yuejian away and rushed out. Empress Dowager Ning wiped her tears on the soft couch, and when she saw Yue Jian coming in, she cried while holding her.
"Let's go back to Huiming Hall." Yue Jian comforted softly: "Don't cry first."
"The Ai family doesn't know whether she is right or wrong." The queen mother sobbed with tears in her eyes: "It was the Ai family who was confused in the past, and now the Ai family has given him everything except the throne. Why doesn't that child know how to be content?"
Yue Jian pursed her lips, Prince Xi was spoiled to the point of selfishness and arrogance since he was a child, and he really can't blame others...
Going back to the Huiming Hall, the Empress Dowager told Yuejian about the matter, and Yuejian sighed: "You did nothing wrong, the throne should not belong to Prince Xi, and if he snatches it, he will not be able to sit still, and the great Liang and Jiangshan will be destroyed in his hands."
"But what is Aijia going to do now?" The Queen Mother frowned: "Help Jie'er to settle Xi'er's crime of treason and treason? Aijia...doesn't want to do that."
Yue Jian is silent, judging from the current actions everywhere, there is not much time left for Prince Li Xi to formally rebel, and Yu Wenxi has no way out, once the rebellion fails, he will undoubtedly die.
However, if he succeeds, the emperor will surely die.
"Empress Dowager, it's time for you to make a decision." Yue Jian said: "The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh, but you should always think more about Jiangshan, after all... the late emperor treated you well."
Not only is it not mean, the former emperor treated her like no one before, even if he knew that she had someone in his heart, he still doted on her, put down the dignity of the emperor, and allowed her to "see relatives".
This "relative" is naturally Hua Zhengrong.
Being pregnant with Yu Wenxi was actually an accident. She and Hua Zhengrong did such an outrageous thing, and no one ever discovered it, and the former emperor must have been ignorant. So she gave birth to Yu Wenxi with a guilty heart.
The first emperor was overjoyed because of this, held a dinner party and rewarded her with many things.
It was at that time that the Empress Dowager was full of gratitude to the late emperor, and she no longer had any emotional ties with Hua Zhengrong, and only let him visit the child occasionally, and never did anything beyond the norm.
However, a mistake is a mistake, Yu Wenxi is not of royal blood, no matter how much she loves him, he will not be able to sit on the throne. In the beginning, the queen mother still had a fluke mentality, thinking that Xi'er would be the emperor and Jie'er the general, so she would be very satisfied. However, Jie'er was unwilling, and the former emperor even entered her dream, frightened her into crying all night, and immediately went to apologize to Jie'er, and helped Jie'er to sit firmly on the throne.
What was she going to do now? It was certain to stop Xi'er, but she didn't want Xi'er to lose his life.
"See you in the moon, you send someone to the emperor to check the situation." After thinking for a long time, the queen mother said: "Contact the princes of all walks of life again, and ask them what they want?"
"Yes." Yuejian went out in response.
The queen mother lay on the bed with her forehead supported, tears still falling. Debts, the sins I committed, sooner or later I have to repay the debts!
Yu Wenjie, dressed in military uniform, immediately stood at the gate of the city.
He Chang'an chuckled lightly and said, "My emperor is magnificent and the world knows it, so why should he be so ostentatious? What if I get hurt later?"
"Going back and forth on the battlefield, do you still want to retreat completely?" With a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, Yu Wenjie looked very excited, pointed the long knife in his hand, and looked at the soldiers approaching here in the distance , couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
He Chang'an shook his head and sighed, other emperors like to stay in the palace and flirt with court ladies, but he is the only one who wants to go to the battlefield every day to kill the enemy.
Actually speaking from the bottom of my heart, the emperor is indeed more suitable to be a general, but such a brave and skilled general will often end badly under the imperial power, so I would rather him be the emperor, and fight how I want without worrying about being manipulated by others .
The last time he went to battle with the emperor was many years ago when he succeeded to the throne, and this time it should be the same, he is responsible for guarding the emperor's back.
Gongs and drums shook the sky, horns blew, and the emperor gave an order, and all the defenders of the capital rushed forward like chicken blood.
The presence of the emperor in person is naturally very inspiring, not to mention that the emperor did not pretend to be behind, but rushed to the front, which moved the soldiers so much that they were so confident that they were much braver when they killed people.
Yu Wenjie on the battlefield is simply a devil! He Chang'an sighed while paying attention to his surroundings. No one was more agile than him when raising a knife in his hand. Few people around him could stand still. His robe was stained with other people's blood. A majestic lion.
This battle can only be regarded as a tentative battle. Neither side tried their best, but because of the presence of the emperor, the defenders only lost one hundred people, while the opponent lost three hundred people. The army rejoiced.
"It's not a problem for us to hold on for a few days." He Chang'an wiped the blood on his face, curled his lips and said, "When the reinforcements come, we'll just kill them all!"
"Don't be too happy." Yu Wenjie looked dignified, and said in a low voice: "If it's just that the king of Chu can't get along with me, it's all right. There is clearly Yu Wenxi behind him. He is not such a simple person who can be defeated. Dare To do something like this, there must be a comprehensive plan.”
"His soldiers are all stuck in the ice cave." He Changan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be possible to surrender without fighting?"
The emperor pursed his lips, as long as he couldn't find Hua Chun, it would be basically impossible.
Zichen Hall was forcibly knocked open, but there was no one inside.
Zhan Shui was dumbfounded, and quickly asked people to search around, but they couldn't find anything.
"Where are people?"
"The emperor came here once, and when he left, he took away two people wearing black cloaks." The eyeliner said: "Maybe he sent the concubine De to another place."
How cunning! Zhan Shui was a little broken, the emperor didn't care about other things, why did he put so much thought into protecting Concubine De? You can't stop it at all, and you can't find it if you look for it.
Zhanshui was very frustrated, and after searching again unwillingly, he had no choice but to go back and return to his master.
"That's his weakness, he naturally has to hide it." Prince Xi snorted coldly: "But it's really affectionate to do this."
"What should we do now?" Zhan Shui frowned.
"Don't worry, I have a plan waiting for him." Prince Xi said, "It's just that there are other things happening now, and I need to be distracted. You should take someone to contact the people outside first."
"Yes." Zhanshui agreed, but he still couldn't help feeling a little regretful. The thing that was accomplished by grabbing Concubine De, now has to go around the corner again.
