Concubine GL

On New Year's Eve, the emperor of the Li Kingdom was seriously ill, and there was a lot of snow inside the palace walls, and there were only three or two red papers on the palace lanterns, and there was no joy at all.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Hu Ren Lie Chi suddenly launched a large-scale attack. The Li* team was unprepared because the coach emphasized the New Year. .

"Your Majesty, this is a new book." Lian Nian didn't even bother to take the duster, and came forward with a large stack of yellow leather memorials, covering his head so that he couldn't see it.

"Put it aside." Wang Yin said without raising his head.

Lian Nian stood beside him with a shy face after carefully putting away the paperwork.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Wang Yin said.

"Your Majesty, this servant is just worried about the emperor's dragon body. I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. I don't know..."

Wang Yin raised his eyes, Jiang Lian Niannian looked him up and down, smiled and said: "He is a loyal servant, since you care so much, then go in and see the emperor." After speaking, Wang Yin picked up his pen again, Concentrate on painting and drawing on the booklet.

"Yes." Lian Niannian did not expect Wang Yin to be so forthright, he hurriedly bent over and walked towards the inner hall.

Wang Yin closed a batch of booklets, took another and opened it, and pressed his temple——

The Hulu were cunning, and they attacked aggressively while our soldiers were celebrating the New Year. Our army suffered heavy casualties, and now they came to Qiang City, asking for reinforcements.Sincerely, Coach Song Biao.

After a glance, it's no wonder that the emperors don't have a good temper. Naturally, they are enraged by such incompetent people. With the enemy in front of them, why would they want to celebrate the New Year?

Just as he was about to lick the cinnabar pen to write something, he heard a sharp and terrifying cry from the apse, and then Lian Nian quickly crawled out from the corner with a frightened expression on his face, frightened the shit out of him.

Wang Yin glanced at him with some displeasure: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Even the wrinkled face was trembling all year round.

Wang Yin glanced at him, then got up with a sigh and said: "Actually, the emperor passed away on New Year's Eve, but this palace felt that it was extremely ominous, and felt extremely sad in his heart, so he concealed it. Today you also saw that the emperor passed away. Go, I can't hide it any longer, I'd better hurry up and make an announcement. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and Gengxuan is the only one under the name of the first emperor, so we must hurry up and prepare for his enthronement."

After saying these words, Lian Niannian finally calmed down, just glanced at the expressionless Concubine Zhao in front of him, and then thought of the purple-black and shriveled face of the emperor just now, Lian Niannian still couldn't help shivering.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and prepare brocade silk and profound ink for this palace?" Wang Yin asked.

"Yes. Ma... Empress Dowager!" Lian Niannian, who knew the times, immediately changed his words and flattered her.

Hearing this address, Wang Yin was in a daze, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Ruhuai passed away, and it was announced to the world that the whole world mourns.

On the 15th day of the Lantern Festival on the first lunar month, the new emperor Gengxuan ascended the throne. He was only nine years old and was the youngest emperor in the history of the Li Kingdom.His mother Wang was the Empress Dowager Zhaoshu, who temporarily listened to politics behind the curtain because the emperor was too young.

Due to the bizarre cause of the late emperor's death, it was rumored that the empress dowager Zhaoshu poisoned the late emperor. However, the empress dowager Zhaoshu did not explain this, only the word "absurd".In this way, on the contrary, it made everyone feel boring, and there was no conclusive evidence. After a period of time, there was no such statement.

Besides, this young new emperor, with the help of the empress dowager, is quite like the wise founding emperor.

As soon as he came up, he took a drastic step to withdraw the front-line coach and replaced him with Wang Zhuo, the elder brother of the queen mother, and Li Bi, the former prison chief, as the deputy commander.Sure enough, within a month, our army retreated [-] li, and captured three counties in one go, which greatly boosted morale.

What's more, it is important to sue the court. Although the prime minister Chen is not at the top of the court, there are many old forces in his regime, which are difficult to eradicate for a while.Emperor Gengxuan sent people to secretly investigate one by one, and wiped out the stubborn party members with evidence. As a result, the people in the court who could speak up became even rarer.At the same time, the numerous disrespect cases involving two years ago were re-examined, and a group of upright and loyal officials headed by Wang Xin finally got their innocence under the New Deal, which finally made the world feel relieved.

After April, the imperial examination and election system was implemented in the capital, and then quickly expanded to all parts of the country. It didn't take long to gather elite talents from all walks of life for the imperial court.There are countless proverbs above the purple platform, which means that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

"Mother——" Geng Xuan trotted into the Chongyang Palace, skating on the shiny floor for a long time like skating, thinking it was fun, he started giggling.

"Why don't you critique papers properly, why come here when you have time?" Wang Yin turned out from the back hall, glared at the playful Geng Xuan, and said angrily, "Look at you, you don't have any airs, how can you hold back Everyone?"

Geng Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wang Yin's arm, and said with a frowning face: "The queen mother doesn't know! Didn't you tell me to recruit such a group of people, and now they all have a lot of ideas, one on the left is playing, and the other is not, I was going to be dizzy! Halfway through the approval, I got dizzy from hunger, so I hurried over to find some food!"

Wang Yin smiled and raised his chin at Yi Chuan, Yi Chuan responded and went down to serve some snacks.

"By the way, why are you alone? What about the servants around you?" Wang Yin carefully wiped off the sweat on Geng Xuan's forehead with a silk handkerchief, and looked at the empty doorway and asked doubtfully.

As soon as the words were finished, a panting eunuch rushed over from outside the palace—even out of breath all the year round, he was about to foam: "Oh, your majesty, please run slowly, don't fall... "

Geng Xuanchong stuck out his tongue at Wang Yin, and quickly followed Yi Chuan out of the palace gate.

Looking at Geng Xuan's small body, Wang Yin shook his head with a smile: "It's just a child." Then, she turned and faced the window again, outside the window the thousands of leaves turned yellow, the autumn wind swept by, the floor was covered with golden carpets, several palaces People were laughing and sweeping the fallen leaves, Wang Yin looked at it, his eyes gradually softened, and said softly, "It's another autumn, the year is approaching, Huai Sang, did your master tell you when you will come to the capital?"

Huai Sang was stunned: "Hasn't the queen mother always been in touch with the master? Of course the slaves don't know."

Wang Yin snorted and turned his head to look at her quietly: "You don't know? I clearly remember the time when King Wen Xiang went to Beijing at the end of last year, you know a lot."

Huai Sang was so deflated that he rolled his eyes and couldn't speak for a while.

"Forget it, anyway, the wind and rain in Shuzhong this year will be good, and there will be a bumper crop after autumn. She can't think of a reason." Wang Yin said with a flick of his sleeve, raising his eyebrows.

"The empress dowager is wise..." Huai Sang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly flattered her.

Before Wang Yin could tease him, there was a notification sound outside the hall, "The Empress Dowager is here——".

As soon as Wang Yin frowned, she took the initiative to go to Fuyi Palace when the emperor announced his death that day, but the empress dowager didn't say a word, she didn't even shake her brows, she felt strange at that time, but now it's a long time ago Half a year later, he actually came to the door on his own initiative, which inevitably made people even more confused.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Wang Yin bowed and saluted.

"Get up." Compared with before, the Empress Dowager had much whiter hair on her temples, and the corners of her eyes were more wrinkled, showing a lot of oldness. She glanced at Zhou Dian and said calmly, "Go down."

"Yes." A group of court ladies bowed their heads and filed out.

"I don't know why the Empress Dowager came here today." Wang Yin stepped forward with a smile and poured tea for him himself.

"In the past few days, Ai's family has always been unable to sleep well, haunted by nightmares, and woke up in the middle of the night to see many horrible ghosts. Therefore, Ai's family wanted to come over and explain clearly to you, so as to comfort my heart." The empress dowager said Before taking the teacup, he just looked at Wang Yin quietly for a moment, pondered for a while, and said again: "You must be very curious why Aijia didn't blame you for poisoning my son."

Wang Yin froze, and burst out laughing: "I don't know what the empress dowager said, but the late emperor died of a serious illness, before the late emperor passed away, my palace waited for him day and night, this is obvious to everyone in Rizhao Palace. "

The Empress Dowager sneered, gritted her teeth, and said: "Your actions can be hidden from others, but Ai Jia's heart is very clear, it's just a little cold, the former emperor was very healthy, how could he die because of it? And it is rumored that he died The sight in front of me is horrifying, I must have been murdered by someone..." She sighed deeply again, and fiddled with the long Buddhist beads in her hand, "Forget it, forget it, it's all karma, and it's useless to force it."

Wang Yin was even more confused when he heard it, so he respectfully said: "What is karma? I also ask the Empress Dowager to give me some advice."

The Empress Dowager sighed again, squinted her eyes and asked, "Do you know that King Wenxiang of Shuzhong is the cousin of the Supreme Emperor, the cousin of the former Emperor?"

"I know." Wang Yin said.

The Empress Dowager shook her head, her expression seemed to be sorrowful and helpless: "King Wenxiang was young and promising, with great ambitions and ambitions, and he had the style of governing the country. However, he was born at an untimely time, and he was a cousin, so the relationship was far away. The Supreme Emperor insisted on appointing the late Emperor as the crown prince. Naturally, King Wen Xiang was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to seize the throne. The Supreme Emperor knew his thoughts well, and after careful consideration, he decided to pass the throne to his own heirs. Insured, he tampered with King Wenxiang's diet, making his health go from bad to worse, and finally drove him far away to be crowned king in the middle of Shu, which can be regarded as an expression of guilt. However, the former emperor was fun, not a pillar of power. Cai, after his sensuality, he became obsessed with immortality, which led to chaos in the state affairs and the misery of the people. It was really disappointing. When King Wen Xiang sent the princess into the palace at the beginning of last year, the Ai family knew that he was here for revenge, but the Ai family knew It was too late, and he was not prevented from entering the palace. Thinking about it, sooner or later he would have to pay it back, so he became more and more resigned. Now, since you supported Geng Xuan to the throne, the Ai family has seen it in their eyes, and it can be regarded as a mistake of the past A little consolation."

Unexpectedly, there was such a story behind it, Wang Yin couldn't help sighing, no wonder King Wen Xiang tried his best to cultivate Qi Wuxue to win the throne, no wonder he died after only living for so many years.

The Empress Dowager coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and said: "Actually, the Ai family is not such a broad-minded person. If it wasn't for the fact that the Ai family was shocked when they witnessed the destruction of the Xue family in the Shu Kingdom, I would have thought of it." Buddhism is quiet, to eliminate the sins in the heart. The cycle of cause and effect, the sins committed by the Supreme Emperor that day will eventually be paid by someone."

"Shu Kingdom... Xue family..." Wang Yin's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened back then, please ask the Empress Dowager to clarify."
