Lord Hou is so soft

Jun Chen was not a tactful person, and he spoke decisively, which also surprised the Queen Mother. These days, she always kept her eyebrows low and pleasing to her eyes in front of her. She almost forgot that she was once an official prime minister and a person who once ruled.

The queen mother coughed lightly, with vicissitudes in her eyes, and said, "What agreement does the queen want?"

"Jiang Huai is interested in a phase, and His Highness knows it too." Jun Qin's face darkened a bit.

The Empress Dowager remained silent, and Jun Jin said again: "The power of the Jiang family is all in your Majesty's mind. Your Majesty is not a young master. He has his own decisiveness. The minister is by his side, but he is only an assistant. He never thought of jumping on her."

"What agreement does the empress want to make today?" The empress dowager's eyes loosened. She believed in Jun Jin's talent. She was the one who was in power when the first emperor was ill.

Jun Qin said: "Lin Xiang is old and will eventually retire. Your Majesty intends for Zhang Shaohua to take over as the prime minister."

The emperor's thoughts were not revealed at all, and he kept it very tight. The queen mother was very puzzled when she heard it for the first time, and asked Junqin: "Zhang Shaohua is a humble official and a small position, how can he support his position?"

"Lin Xiang's body and bones are considered healthy. His Majesty has cultivated him for a few years, and he will be able to make great use of it." Jun Qin said.

The Empress Dowager was speechless, but she understood Jun Jin's intentions and did not beat around the bush, she said directly, "What does the Empress mean?"

Jun Jin's eyes were clear, and he spoke very frankly, and said: "Her Majesty is in charge of matters in the harem. Whether the relationship between you and Your Majesty is deep or shallow, you should know that the Emeritus has been determined, and His Majesty will not miss others. If you persecute too much, His Majesty will anger the Jiang family, and you will lose more than you gain."

When she was replying, pay attention to the Queen Mother's complexion, which is not as good as usual.

It is true that the queen mother has the emperor in her heart, and she also has a deep affection with Jiang Huai's sister and brother. This point, Jun Qin is very clear. When he came today, he needed to speak clearly, and said: "The power of the queen mother also comes from the emperor. If you hurt your relationship with your majesty , what power do you think the empress dowager has?"

Jun Chen was polite first and then soldiers, and he spoke very thoroughly, piercing into the Queen Mother's heart.The queen mother was stabbed by her, put her hand to her lips, coughed a few times, her complexion was very haggard, and the doubts in Jun's heart gradually deepened.

The Empress Dowager did not answer immediately, but kept silent, and Jun Qin did not urge him, his expression was calm, he waited quietly, with an imposing manner, facing the agreement of the Empress Dowager, it was like facing a slightly tricky political matter.

The candles in the hall were crackling, making the atmosphere extraordinarily dignified.

I don't know how long it took before the queen mother came back to her senses and looked at Jun Qin: "What is your condition?"

"Your Majesty, please don't meddle in the affairs of your subjects and Your Majesty." Jun Qin replied calmly, and he was never afraid of the empress dowager Ling Ran's aura, revealing a resolute and sharp spirit.

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "The Queen thinks I will agree?"

"I don't know, but I know that in His Highness's heart, the Jiang family is as important as His Majesty. You have been looking for a son for many years, and you have missed him, but you also hope that the prince will be your child, and you can win one breath. Now that you have fulfilled your wish, Your Majesty has a tenacious temper." , will not be influenced by you, who is next to her, only she can decide by herself."

Knowing each other for more than a year, the queen mother has become more and more aware of the emperor's temperament. She looks gentle and soft, but her heart is as hard as a rock. At the beginning, she blocked Yong'an Palace without saying a word, but thinking about it now, it is scary.

However, the Empress Dowager's temperament is also tough, and she will not be persuaded by Jun Qin in a few words, and she should not be silent.

Jun Jin knew what she was thinking, his brows and eyes softened, and he said with a smile: "Just now, Xiang's mansion sent a message that Lin Xiang fell, and he is old. How much time do you think you have to think about?"

In fact, the Empress Dowager has no way out, because of the emperor's temperament, and Junqin's coming today is nothing more than an opportunity. Your Majesty is no longer young. Because of the heirs, the officials are persecuting you, so you can ignore it. If the Empress Dowager joins the officials in the future, then , things will become difficult.

Although she said she was indifferent, but Wei Changning was already the emperor, if she didn't fight, would it be possible for the emperor to lie beside him?

Thinking of this, the hands in the cuffs were slightly curled up, and the face was still very peaceful.

What Jun Qin said was the truth, just a small matter could cause a mess between the emperor and the queen mother.During these days, although the emperor came here often to tell the empress dowager some interesting things, to tease the empress dowager to show off her face, it was just Jun Jin's daily instructions.

The emperor's love is only for Jun Qin, and the queen mother made mistakes first, so I can't blame her for being indifferent.Jun Qin wanted her to be in harmony with the queen mother, so she tried her best to do it. Once the issue of heirs was involved, it was easy to have conflicts with the queen mother, which aroused criticism from others.

Therefore, what Jun Qin wants to do is to cut off these things before they happen.

It was beyond the emperor's expectation for Lin Xiang to become an official early. Zhang Shaohua was young, and if the officials would not agree, the emperor would give up on him. Jiang Huai was the most suitable person to choose first.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was also shocked, but also kept silent, as if she was thinking and watching.

Jun Jin was not in a hurry, and said: "I will go back to the palace first, Your Highness can think about it carefully."

After returning to the palace, the emperor came back before her.Wei Changning saw Jun Qin covered in snow, and reached out to wipe the snow off her shoulders, and said casually, "Why did the Queen Mother call you?"

"No, I went there on my own initiative," Jun Jin smiled slightly. Seeing Wei Changning's jade-like face, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it. His fingertips were cold, and when he touched the warm skin, he felt extra soft and greasy. .

Wei Changning's heart became hot from being touched by her, so he took off his hands, covered them in his own, and led her to sit down on the couch, "What do you see the Queen Mother doing?"

The empress dowager and her husband had a good relationship, but it was because of her that they became more and more discordant, to the point where the empress dowager wanted to destroy her husband.

Jun Jin's body was warm, and so was his heart, and he said with a smile, "What can't be said is just trivial matters."

"Why can't you tell me? What did I do wrong?" Wei Changning was surprised. In the past, the husband would not hide it from her. In recent years, the two of them have been honest with each other.

Jun Qin knew that she was not easy to fool, so after pondering for a while, he remembered something, and said: "If you have something to hide from me, I will keep it from you."

Wei Changning lowered his head and mentioned the matter of the books again. She made a mistake and deserved to be punished, but she still felt aggrieved. She held Jun Qin's hand and rubbed her shoulders again and again, so aggrieved that she couldn't speak.

When she was wronged, she liked to rub against Jun Qin. She was used to it. After a long while, she spoke in a nasal voice: "Sir, I was wrong, and I will not hide it from you in the future."

Jun Jin ignored it.

Wei Changning stopped rubbing for a while, and muttered, "You and the Queen Mother are hiding things from me, it's not fair."

"It's true that you're not good," Jun Jin said.

Wei Changning still lowered his head, didn't speak for a moment, but instead put his arms around Jun Jin's waist, making people puzzled.

Jun Qin thought about the queen mother's decision, she knew the emperor's temperament, she would not compromise easily, she would not adopt at this time, at least she would have to wait for several years.It was useless for the queen mother to be impatient, Jun Qin thought of the queen mother's look, and felt uncertain, and wanted to call the Taiji Hospital's pulse case to see, but the queen mother never told Taiji Palace that she was ill.

When she was about to get up, she found that Wei Changning was still hugging her and never raised her head. She was so wronged, "I'll be there today, the queen mother is ill, you can go to the imperial hospital for a pulse check, okay?"

"No need to adjust, every few days the Taiji Hospital will deliver the pulse case to Taiji Palace, and I will take a look at it." Wei Changning did not look up when he spoke.

Jun Qin didn't know that she paid so much attention to the Queen Mother's body, so he asked, "How is her body?"

"The imperial doctor said it's okay, but she's used to being very thoughtful and takes everything to heart. I've tried it a few times, but it didn't work." Wei Changning sniffed, let go of Jun Qin, got up and walked out.

Jun Qin's mind was on the queen mother, and he was a little worried. When he raised his eyes, the emperor had gone far away, and her fingertips still had her warmth.

She was worried, so she called Shen Cong'an in person for the pulse case.

Shen Cong'an walked freely in the palace, although he had no job, his walk was more sloppy than that of a doctor, he was in charge of Wei Jianshi, and the rest of the people couldn't be bothered, when the queen invited him, he passed naturally.

After receiving the empress dowager's pulse report, she said: "It's nothing serious, think less and think less, and live a long life."

Jun Chen was relieved when he got his twelve words, and ordered someone to send the pulse case back to the imperial hospital. The emperor had something to do in front of him, so she ordered someone to set up dinner. When the emperor came back, he just had dinner.

The emperor was sullen and silent, which was quite strange.

After dinner, he didn't play around with Junqin, but went to bed to rest after watching the performance.After she came back, she didn't mention anything about the Prime Minister's Mansion with Jun Qin. Jun Qin remembered these things, so he wanted to ask her.

Wei Changning went to bed early today, Jun Qin wanted to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he didn't ask again. After getting on the bed, Wei Changning didn't pester her as usual, so he felt weird.

Reminiscent of what happened during the day, Jun Qin tentatively asked: "Are you angry?"

It stands to reason that when an angry person hears this sentence, he should deny it, but Wei Changning is different, she admitted: "Yeah."

Jun Chen laughed, Wei Changning was almost never angry, today she was a little surprised, she held Wei Changning's hand, and softly called: "Aqi."

Wei Changning still didn't speak, as if he was sulking with himself.Jun Qin was helpless, moved his fingertips up, touched her shoulder, and patted her lightly, "You don't like to be angry, you can be angry anyway."

Jun Jin approached her and said, "I know why you are angry, but I can't tell you right now."

Wei Changning was angry, he withdrew his hand, and avoided it to one side.Jun Qin realized that what he said was wrong, it didn't seem like he was coaxing people, but it seemed like adding fuel to the fire, so there was no reason to be angry.

"Aqi." Jun Qin called again, seeing her huddled inside, he said helplessly, "It's cold inside, don't stick so close, come here, and I'll explain to you, okay?"

Wei Changning is not someone who gets angry indiscriminately, but feels that Jun Qin doesn't believe her, and feels aggrieved inexplicably. The two of them have been together for many years, and now they don't even have the basic trust. She is a little angry with herself, because she was dishonest first.

She obediently moved closer to Jun Qin.Jun Qin touched her wrist, pulled her closer, and the two of them got very close, before saying, "Don't be angry, I'll tell you in a few days, you wait a few days."

Jun Qin knew why she was angry, so he was easy to coax, so he spoke softly, touched Wei Changning's protruding earlobe, and coaxed: "It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter, you know it's useless, wait until I finish it." , and let you know."

Wei Changning was buried in her arms and remained silent, making Jun Qin uncertain about her thoughts. He just felt that she was in a low mood today, and he was at a loss for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "I don't care about that matter." I'm angry, and I won't joke with you in the future."

Wei Changning nodded, and buried himself deeper into Jun Qin's arms.Fearing that she would be suffocated, Jun Qin straightened her face, "Are you angry with me, or with yourself?"

It was just now that there was darkness in front of him, and he could hide for a while, Jun Qin held Wei Changning's face in his hands, not letting her move.Wei Changning stretched out his hand to hold Jun Jin's wrist, "I won't hide it from you in the future, and you don't want to hide it from me either."

There was still a word she didn't say, she endured it, it's better not to say it.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Jun Chen's eyes turned red, and if he didn't coax her, he was about to cry.Jun Qin touched the corners of her eyes, which were a little moist, and she was really crying.

When she was in Hengshui, she loved to cry, but when she came back, except for the time when Jun Qin was almost strangled to death by the first emperor, she almost never saw her shed tears.Jun Jin's heart ached beyond words, hugged her, and said: "Ah Qi, it's my fault." "

Wei Changning shook his head, with a strong nasal voice: "I know sir, if you hide it from you once, you won't trust me again."

"How can I not believe you, the world is so big, if I don't believe even you, who should I believe?" Jun Qin was amused, it turned out that the crux of the matter was that when the two things were combined, she gave up on herself and thought that she didn't believe her.

She wanted to laugh, but seeing Wei Changning crying, she couldn't provoke her anymore.The corners of Jun Qin's lips curved slightly, touched Wei Changning's forehead, held back a smile, pulled him into his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and said, "I believe in you, and I will only believe in you for the rest of my life." .”

After such coaxing, Wei Changning showed his face slightly, and grabbed Jun Qin's cuff.Jun Jin took the opportunity and said, "You never told me about the prime minister's injury when you came back."

"I fell in the snow. It hurts a lot. I'm afraid it's not good." When Wei Changning was asked by her, his face was full of sadness.

Jun Qin knew what she was thinking, and comforted him: "This matter is not urgent, and we will talk about it next year. How did Lin Xiang arrange the morning court tomorrow?"

"Everything is properly arranged. Once tomorrow is over, the court will be closed the next day. There will be no mistakes." Wei Changning said.

"That's good, it's getting late, get some rest, there's still a big event tomorrow." Jun Qin instructed, took her into his arms completely, sighed silently, and waited for Wei Changning to close his eyes before stroking her Frown.

The Empress Dowager lost her trust in the first emperor because the first emperor didn't believe in her first, so she didn't think of this idiot, and she was worried that she didn't trust her.Tough external means and decisive in doing things, courtiers now respect her much more than when she first came to the throne; she doesn't want to be like a child who can't grow up in private.

Jun Jin stroked her eyebrows, unwilling to let go, if she knew that she had made such an agreement with the Queen Mother, would she be disappointed?

****

In the early morning of the next day, the prime minister was not there, but the king of Qin occupied the head position, arrogantly.

The emperor didn't have time to talk to him. When he asked about taxes, the Minister of the Household Department hesitated. She was impatient and said loudly: "What's the matter with hesitating? What's wrong, report it as soon as possible."

The Minister of the Ministry of Households was drunk by the emperor, and immediately reported all of them: "The minister and the prime minister found out that there was a problem with the accounts. The taxes paid by the merchants in Chang'an City did not match the accounts. The prime minister ordered a thorough investigation and found that there are people who have been there all year round..."

He paused, not daring to bring it up again, so he asked someone to submit the account. The emperor flipped through the name written on it, and the corners of his lips ticked away imperceptibly. So perfect?

Or did he have this idea in the first place?

The emperor watched carefully, and the people below were all frightened. They looked up at the emperor from time to time, not knowing what the prime minister had found.Only King Qin in front of him glanced at King Min and smiled ironically.

King Min was not afraid at all, he noticed King Qin's smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the emperor.Weighing the pros and cons, the emperor has just ascended the throne. At this time, he must not dare to touch him.

Such a confusing scene made the officials unable to see clearly the emperor's intentions, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a long wait, the emperor finally finished reading the accounts. After closing the pages, his eyes looked regretful, and he sighed, "Brother Min, you have disappointed me so much!"

After finishing the sentence, the hall was as quiet as a cicada, only King Min who had been called out hurriedly came out from the crowd, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

"There are countless people complaining about grievances. You have stretched your hands too far. The treasury of the Tang Dynasty is empty, but you yourself are incomparably rich." The emperor's tone was not heavy, and he couldn't hear much anger, but he seemed to be really disappointed.

King Min didn't know what was written in the account, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just knelt down and cried for injustice.

In the absence of the prime minister, his subordinates naturally behaved with their tails clamped. The emperor did not call his name, and he would not speak when he was killed. The leader, King Qin, did not hide his pride and smiled very happily.

The emperor has been on the throne for so long, and the three kings have been promoted or suppressed, making it difficult for people to see her intentions.Since King Jing left office, the emperor took extra care of the other two, making them forget their faces.

Everyone in the court understands that the emperor is not a young master, and there is the former prime minister Junqin behind him, and the three armies in Chang'an City belong to the emperor, so there is no need for her to be patient with these brothers.

The emperor drew back the imperial power, taking it easy and taking it easy, which also made King Min think that he was strong and the emperor didn't dare to do anything to him.

As everyone knows, the emperor did it on purpose.

She is good at government affairs, and she is also supported by Jun Qin, how could she allow him to meddle in the finances of the court, and the three kings have been dirty for a long time, and the emperor dismantled and formed an alliance when they were tricked by the emperor, and they each became their own families.

Right now, the evidence of King Min's crime was also helped by the other two kings. The emperor knew it well and did not point it out. King Qin had made countless enemies in the court, and King Jing stepped down from the government and was not afraid to be driven out of Chang'an City.

The emperor held conclusive evidence, but King Min Min was sophistrying. When he wanted to put him in prison, King Qin jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, I and Dali Temple found out that His Majesty's fall from the horse was done by King Min. He bribed the imperial garden to feed the horse." The servants also sprinkled the medicine that made the horses go crazy in the racecourse."

The Jinwu Guard who entered the hall to take people stopped, and stood at the gate of the Taiji Hall, standing with a knife.

When King Min heard King Qin's words, beads of sweat slipped off his forehead one by one. He said nothing, but it was too late, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, this is King Qin's schemer. He is the one who invited you to the racecourse. Not a minister, how did the minister know about this?"

The two couldn't stop arguing, and the emperor looked at Han Yuan, who was investigating the case, and asked him, "General Han, how did the investigation go?"

Han Yuan was tall and tall, holding a saber in his hand, listening to the emperor's question, he bowed and saluted, and said: "The waiter in the racecourse confessed that King Min bribed him with money."

"Your Majesty, this is designed by King Qin..." King Min was so frightened that he didn't know what went wrong, and he was walking on eggshells.

King Qin sneered, and said: "General Han and Dali Temple have both found out that King Min is still framing this king, it is really an extra crime."

The other people in the hall were speechless and buried their heads very low, they all understood that this was the emperor's settlement after autumn.

The emperor pondered for a long time on the throne, looked at the ministers a few times, and asked, "How should King Min be convicted?"

Others didn't dare to answer casually, Qin Wang rushed to speak: "Murdering His Majesty, you should be punished as treason."

The officials lowered their heads even more, wishing to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. King Min usually communicates with people, and most of the courtiers had a good time with him.

The emperor was thoughtful, without showing any joy, and said slowly: "Then, according to Brother Qin's crime, the Ministry of Punishment will prepare a charge, and put King Min in the prison first, and no one is allowed to visit."

All the officials exhaled, and exited the Taiji Hall one after another.

Rong Zhan turned his head to glance at the emperor, and then withdrew. No courtiers outside the palace dared to whisper to each other. The court will be suspended tomorrow, and such a thing happened. It seems that King Min is about to go to the back of Chenyang Princess Li Jin up.

They sighed, afraid that the emperor would involve them, so they ran extremely fast.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Jin Wuwei went to Minwang Mansion to raid the house, alarming the whole neighborhood, and it took half a day to calm down. The Jin Wuwei in the mansion was checking accounts, and Han Yuan led people to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

After checking for a day and a night, I reported the general situation to the emperor.

After the court meeting, the emperor smiled when he saw the accounts, and Jun Chen laughed at her: "Your Majesty is very similar to a money fan."

Wei Changning didn't take it seriously, and refuted her: "Is there any king in the world." After finishing speaking, he moved the account sent to Jun Chen, and muttered: "If you copy a few more corrupt officials, the treasury will be fine." Fengying, sir's dowry has also been settled."

Jun Chen was surprised, he didn't want it to be so long, Wei Changning was still thinking about the dowry gift from the Mu family, after a general look at it, she said: "Prince Min is no longer a threat, you need to ask someone to take care of his fief."

"I've asked Mu Ji to keep an eye on it, and I'll come back if there's any situation," Wei Changning said.

The emperor became more and more considerate in his work, and Jun Qin had nothing to say, so he returned the account to her, saying: "The matter of the son..."

"What's the matter, King Qin's youngest son is sent out of the palace, and King Min's title will not be guaranteed. Prince Jing has a lesson from the past of these two people, so he definitely won't have such thoughts." Wei Changning should only have a shadow because of King Qin's youngest son.

Jun Qin didn't answer immediately, he was deep in thought.Wei Changning sat down, took her hands in her sleeves, and said sincerely: "Don't think about it, even if the three kings don't threaten me, Manchao knows how I care for you, and won't come over to make trouble."

Jun Chen smiled, "I'm just asking casually, don't be so nervous."

She frowned slightly, and it didn't seem like she was asking casually. Wei Changning sighed, and followed the clouds of sorrow. After sitting for a while, she thought about going to Jie Jun, and said, "Sir, at the end of the year, Bi Luo..."

Wei Changning paused, subconsciously shut his mouth, the word Bi Luo has become a taboo in Mr.'s heart, and cannot be mentioned, cannot be mentioned.

She stopped abruptly, how could Jun Qin not know what was going on in her mind, he regretted scaring her into tears last time, and did not dare to joke anymore this time, so he said: "At the end of the year, I have read the accounts sent by Bi Luo .”

Wei Changning was awkward for a while, rubbed his left hand with his right hand, thought carefully for a while, and whispered: "Bi Luo sent some gadgets, sir, do you want to have a look?"

This person is too honest, just say that she collected it by herself, but Bi Luo is also involved.

Jun Qin sighed, she became dumbfounded again, and dealt with King Min's matter vigorously and vigorously, as if she didn't do it.Seeing that Wei Changning was struggling, Jun Jin got up and said, "Your Majesty is free, go and have a look?"

"Yes, I've finished reading the melodies." Wei Changning immediately got up, and was about to pull her away when he stood up.

She was afraid that her husband would not like it, so she let someone put her in a humble palace, and now she had to go a long way to get there.The snow outside has not yet completely melted, and the white on the trees is in line with the sky. It looks very beautiful today.

After walking for a while, the servant hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to Yong'an Palace."

When this time passes, Junqin will be left behind.Wei Changning didn't want to go there, but remembered the Queen Mother's illness, so he looked at Jun Qin guiltily: "Sir, shall I go to see the Queen Mother?"

There are contradictions in her heart, and there is no way to have both.

Jun Qin smiled, seeing her contradictions and guilt in his eyes, and didn't bother to pierce her. He straightened her robes, ordered Lin Xuan to get the cloak, and told her: "Put on one more dress before going there. When you come back, let’s go together.”

Her smile is gentle, like spring water slowly flowing into Wei Changning's heart that is about to dry up, it is more useful than all love words.

Wei Changning left accompanied by his servants, and Jun Jin went back to Changqiu Palace alone, with an unmade pajamas under the window.Wei Changning gave Jun Qin one, and Jun Qin has always wanted to make it for her.

However, after winter, it is full of affairs.Lin Xiang wanted to resign a long time ago, but the emperor disagreed, so he begged her.He has been in the officialdom for so many years, how can he not know the emperor's mind.

The reason why the emperor kept him was for Zhang Shaohua, he wanted to train him for a few years, and then push him to the next level.

Lin Xitang didn't think anything was wrong at first, but his body was getting worse day by day, he was running around all day, he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to resign and return to his hometown, and his eldest grandson had already reached the household department, and he was no longer low, so he was destined to miss the phase.

He didn't care about the court, the emperor was smarter than the previous emperor, and the empress had been a prime minister, so he could see that the aspect was no longer so prominent, and its role was much less than that of the previous emperor's time.

It is not beneficial, and it will make people unwilling to stay in the post. Jun Qin also understands Lin Xiang's thoughts, so he planned with him to worship the ancestors in the snow.

Among the most important ministers in the court, Jiang Huai is the only prime minister.

However, the emperor will not agree, and the queen mother will also fight for Jiang Huai. Looking at the overall situation, Jun Qin will think about the agreement. Growth is also the first choice for the next prime minister.

So far, Junqin has not informed Wei Changning of the plan, and she is also worried about it. It seems that she has a deep plan to plot against the Queen Mother, and it is because she really does not want to see Wei Changning with her beside him...

****

The Yong'an Palace was a bit bleak, and with the Empress Dowager's condition, no one dared to move around at will.

When Wei Changning entered the palace, the Queen Mother only administered the medicine. She took the medicine bowl from Bilan's hand and went to serve it herself.

As usual, Bi Lan led the palace servants back.

The Empress Dowager never expected that she would come so quickly. The crimes against King Min were drawn up at the court meeting yesterday. Officials in the court will make mistakes more or less. The last step is to convict.

She was amazed by the emperor's speed, but within a few months, she cleared the obstacles of the three kings and held the imperial power firmly in her own hands. This method was very similar to Jun's, and Jun's help was indispensable.

After drinking the decoction, the queen mother wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked a few questions about King Min. Wei Changning answered them one by one, and finally she said: "I heard that Lin Xiang was seriously injured?"

Wei Changning didn't know why the Queen Mother called her just now, and he understood when he heard this sentence, and said, "Yes, after the next year we will discuss the candidate for the new prime minister. Does the Queen Mother have any suggestions?"

She took the initiative to ask, but the queen mother had nothing to say.The Empress Dowager watched Wei Changning's relaxed expression, and said, "The Empress came here a few days ago."

Wei Changning was taken aback, she had wanted to know the conversation between the husband and the queen mother for a long time, but Mr. He refused to talk about it, and she used it all to act like a baby and get angry, and she didn't ask a word.

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, as if she wanted to say it, she said: "I know she has been here."

The queen mother was surprised, looked up at Wei Changning's calm expression, and secretly guessed that she didn't know the purpose of Jun Qin's visit, she leaned against the small couch, and smiled coldly: "She came here to threaten me."

Wei Changning didn't think it was strange, Mr. was not a soft-tempered person, he followed the Queen Mother's words: "You are the Queen Mother now, the affairs of the harem are under your control, if you want to threaten, you are the one who threatens her."

Although she has already established the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is taking care of the affairs of the harem, she will not delegate power, and Jun Qin will not grab it. Wei Changning knows that the affairs of the harem are complicated, and the Queen Mother is willing to take care of it, so let her take care of it, and let Jun Qin relax some.

Wei Changning's every sentence was protecting Junqin, the queen mother coughed twice in anger, Wei Changning at the side raised his hand and patted her on the back, but did not speak any more.

The queen mother was annoyed, she brushed her hand away, and said: "She threatened me with a phase, forcing me to stop asking about your harem from now on."

Hearing this, Wei Changning was startled, his eyes lit up, the husband in her heart was not stained with dust, let alone jealous, as if she had someone else in the harem, at most she would frown, and then ignore her.

Wei Changning was delighted to have such a showdown with the queen mother this time, but she didn't show this surprise, instead she looked deep and asked the queen mother: "Then you agree?"

Her face was solemn, and she was not happy, so the Queen Mother was not angry anymore, and said to her meaningfully: "It is common for you to love her, the king is noble and pure, acting as the king and the first emperor, even the deposed emperor Li Gan once said that he would accept her as his side." Concubine, it is common for you to be confused, and you should know how to measure it, and the emperor's heir is the most important thing."

The Empress Dowager is an elder, with kind words, and her tone of voice is like an elder's to persuade the younger generation, and to teach.Wei Changning knew about her condition, if he got angry for good or bad, the husband would not spare her.She didn't dare to refute casually, and said in a low voice: "You are not in good health, think of something happy, I know the matter of the emperor's heir."

It was perfunctory to hear it, and the queen mother knew it well, so she didn't continue to argue with her, and said directly: "Phase, what do you think?"

This is the most critical thing today. Wei Changning now understands Jun Qin's plan. If she lets go, it will make people fall short. She will continue to play this "bad guy" and refuse: "Uncle has countless disciples. Over the years Just ask Guozijian, I seldom ask about court affairs, I'm afraid I don't have enough qualifications."

The Empress Dowager said: "Your uncle is not as old as Hua Xin when you pay homage to the prime minister. Your uncle is older than her. In terms of qualifications, she is not as good as her?"

This is arrogance. After the abolished emperor ascended the throne, Jun Qin made great contributions to planning for him and clearing the obstacles for him; and Wei Changning became emperor, all thanks to Jun Qin, the Mu family and the Han family, and Jiang Huaiwei's contribution , how to compare?

Wei Changning endured his patience, and replied: "Jun Qin worshiped the prime minister, it was the deposed emperor Li Qian who did it, not me. In all honesty, uncle's intelligence and talent can compare with Jun Qin's?"

To tell the truth, the Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest stagnated, she gouged out a few eyes at Wei Changning, and said, "Who do you want?"

Wei Changning remained silent, he couldn't speak too harshly, and said tactfully: "I haven't made up my mind yet, this matter needs to be discussed with the officials, and no one can make the decision."

Answering like this, there is still room for change, the queen mother felt better, and recalled Jun Qin's words in her mind, maybe it was true as she said, the emperor really didn't want to make Jiang Huai his prime minister.

Besides, the emperor's temper was cold, so she had no choice but to wave her hand and say, "I'm tired, you can go back."

Wei Changning got up, saluted and left Yong'an Palace happily.When the queen mother saw her relaxed back, disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she lay back on the couch again.

****

After the emperor left, people came into the palace intermittently to report matters. After she came back, several courtiers stood outside the palace.

After Wei Changning saw the courtiers, he stepped more steadily, straightened his back, and did not forget his imperial demeanor.

This day is the last day of governing this year, and the courtiers will hurry up to report any important matters. Wei Changning is also very patient today. After listening carefully, he remembered that there is a dinner party today.

Yesterday, King Min was sent to the court, and the hearts of the officials were not stable. Today's New Year's Eve banquet will be quieter, and there will be fewer courtiers in the afternoon. She wants to go back to Changqiu Palace, but there is still a large pile of memorials, which are clearly placed on the table.

Only when these things are dealt with can she go to her husband with peace of mind. She must not slack off.

After she dealt with it, she realized that it was getting late, so she had to go to the banquet first.

This was her first New Year's Eve after she took the throne. Logically, the officials should be happy. After she entered the palace, they found that the palace was very deserted.

Jun Qin was by the side, waiting early, Wei Changning walked over, smiling like a child: "When did the queen come?"

The voice was high-pitched, and the queen's words made Jun Jin feel helpless, and got up to meet her, but did not answer her words.

Seeing that the emperor smiled, everyone felt a big stone falling from their heart, sending King Min down. The confiscation of the house frightened the capital officials in Chang'an City, and it will spread to other places after a few years.

After the empress sat down, the feast began.

This year the Empress Dowager is not here, her poor health is a common occurrence, and it will not make people feel strange.The atmosphere in the hall was deserted, and the prime minister was not there, King Qin was extremely proud, and he exchanged cups with the courtiers next to him, very happy.

At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the ministers and envoys toasted the emperor's wine, and the emperor was so drunk that he passed out. This time, Junqian asked someone to replace the emperor's wine with water in advance, and drinking a few pots would not be a problem.

For some reason, all the ministers were afraid to go to the emperor to drink, and Han Yuan came with his wife and family. The generals admired him and asked him to drink.

Wei Changning took a deep breath, held Jun Qin's hand, and leaned into her ear when everyone couldn't see him: "Don't sleep tonight, keep watch."

Whisper softly in the noisy hall, so that no third person can hear it, even so, Jun Qin's plain hand holding the wine cup still trembled, her face flushed, and she couldn't help but look at Wei Changning.

Today's New Year's Eve banquet, you should go out in full dress, Jun Qin is not a person with heavy makeup, and the thin powder makes her makeup look exquisite.Wei Changning glanced secretly, pursed the corners of his lips, thinking about when the banquet would end.

After a few glances, she couldn't bear to look.

When Wei Changning turned sideways, the warm light in the hall made her profile very soft, but this softness lasted for a short time. When the courtiers came to toast, Wei Changning's expression returned to normal, and Jun Qin couldn't find the softness just now.

It was Zhang Shaohua who broke the deadlock. He held court, said a few respectful words, and toasted a few glasses of wine. Seeing the queen's peaceful demeanor, he felt that something was wrong.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the emperor was drinking, the empress was beside her, her expression was cold, she didn't like all the officials drinking, how could it be so peaceful this time?

If he didn't understand, he pressed his doubts, and after toasting, he walked back to his seat.

After the deadlock was broken, King Qin was half-drunk. Relying on his elder brother's status, he also went to the emperor's case and said something about brother and sister's love. It's different.

The queen didn't speak, but the queen smiled and said, "King Qin is drunk, so he still doesn't help him to rest."

The king of Qin used to lose his temper after drinking, and all the courtiers present knew about it and pretended not to see it; as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the hall became a little lively, and the emperor knew that he had frightened these people yesterday, so he stepped down from the throne to toast one by one.

The courtiers who were able to attend the banquet were all high-ranking officials in the court, and the emperor personally toasted, and it was passable.

When the respect came to Zhang Shaohua, he blinked at the wine cup in the emperor's hand, pursed his lips and smiled, and finished the respect to the courtiers one by one, his face was crystal clear, and he was not drunk, there must be something strange in the wine cup.

He smiled lightly and said nothing, glanced at the Queen, and said: "Your Majesty's wine must be good wine, can I reward you with a glass?"

The emperor knew that he had seen through it, so he cast a sideways glance and said, "If you don't drink, forget it."

This is good, the wine is not respectful, the emperor returned to the throne, leaving Zhang Shaohua dumbfounded, unable to make a joke?He also contributed a lot to the marriage of the empress back then, and accompanied her at the gate of Hengshui Academy, waiting for Junjin under the sun.

Is the deep affection just wiped out like this?He sat back depressed, the emperor became more and more stingy, and he never said anything wrong with the empress, she just protected her so fiercely, she was really a wife slave.

After the emperor took his seat, the atmosphere below eased a lot. They drank happily,
