Chapter 11 A trip to Wolong Mountain

Half a month later, banners fluttered outside the imperial city of the imperial capital. The carriages with the empress dowager and the courtiers slowly left the imperial city, left the imperial capital along the passage at the bottom of Jinghu Lake, and set out for the Wolong Mountain Royal Hunting Ground.

Beichen Yeli sat with the empress dowager in the carriage guarded by everyone.

Although both of them are extremely dissatisfied with each other, they still look close to each other on the surface.

"Your Majesty, empress dowager, this is the golden dates and peach preserved newly made in Yaoguang City this year. It smells sweet and refreshing. It will take some time to go to Wolong Mountain. It's better to use some snacks and fruits first." Grandpa Fang took out a plate of exquisite snacks and fruits from the food box he took in the car and put them on the small table in front of the Empress Dowager and Beichen Yeli.

"Mother, there is still a way to go to Wolong Mountain. Let's have some snacks first." Beichen Yeli said respectfully to the empress dowager.

"The mourning family thanked the emperor for his concern. It was not the first time I went to Wolong Mountain. When the mourning family went to Wolong Mountain to hunt together with the previous emperors, it was also as vast as today. The scene seemed to have happened yesterday." The Empress Dowager recalled that she went to Wolong Mountain to hunt with the previous emperors, and couldn't help sighing.

"I'm naturally less heroic and free than my father." Beichen Yeli smiled and said modestly.

Although the former emperor also inherited the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Dayu Kingdom from his ancestors, there were Hu people in the north of the Dayu Kingdom, the trouble of southern barbarians in the south, and the invasion of Japanese pirates in the east, and there was no peace everywhere. Thanks to the former emperor's means and wisdom, he led the generals of the Dayu Kingdom to sweep away the troubles of the four directions and returned the world. The prosperous times." The Empress Dowager laughed.

"Yes, compared with my father's great achievements, I am indeed ashamed of myself." After listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Beichen Yeli just nodded quietly.

"As the saying goes, we must first settle down on the outside world. Our ancestors also taught us that men should govern the country and the world. If a man does not have a kind and virtuous woman in his family, how can he govern the country and the world next?" The Empress Dowager took a look at Beichen Yeli and continued to say, "The former emperor married Empress Xiaocheng at the age of 16. The emperor is now twenty-six, but he has not yet married. The mourning family feels that the emperor should set up a queen early and stabilize the harem so that he can concentrate on governing state affairs."

"The Empress Dowager worries too much. I feel that there is a mother in the harem to help me manage the affairs of the harem. I am very relieved. The establishment of the queen is related to the continuation of the royal bloodline and the prosperity of the country. It is really not necessary to make a hasty decision. This matter should be discussed in the long-term. Beichen Yeli lowered his eyelids slightly, covered the cold light flashing in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.

The Empress Dowager seems to be concerned about her son's marriage as a mother, but in fact, she is afraid she wants to force him to make the bitch of the Wang family as the queen! She thought beautifully enough. Did she think that he would let their royal family be the owners of this harem for generations to counterbalance their Beichen family? He would like to see what tricks the Empress Dowager can do this time.

"Although the emperor's words are reasonable, they can't always be delayed. Ai's family saw that there were no queens in the emperor's harem, not to mention that there were few concubines, and the rest of the palace people were also vulgar and old people. The mother of the Ai family was really in his eyes and anxious. The Empress Dowager sighed, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, as if there was infinite sadness in her expression. A few days ago, the left prime minister's wife came to see the mourning family with the third daughter of the royal family who had just been married. The mourning family saw that the girl was very smart and pleasant, so they wanted to tell the emperor that now that the emperor's harem is empty, it is better to let this little girl enter the palace to serve the emperor and help the royal branch as soon as possible. Ye, continue the bloodline of the royal family. After all, the emperor has done nothing in the palace after all these years.

"Queen Mother!" Beichen Yeli suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at the Empress Dowager and scolded with a serious expression: "I have not left any children in the harem over the years, but I am taking care of the etiquette of my ancestors!" Before I stand up, I am in a hurry to have children with other concubines. In the future, the queen will enter the main harem and have children. Isn't my prince easy to be bullied by the humble because he is young? And in this way, it also swept the queen's face! Don't worry about this matter anymore!"

"Your Majesty! The mourning family is also for the sake of the society of the Great Yu Kingdom!" When the Empress Dowager saw that Beichen Yeli was so oily and saltless, she thought that she was threatened by Beichen Yeli everywhere in the palace today, and the Wang family was suppressed by Beichen Yeli everywhere in the court, and a mass of anger suddenly rose in her heart. The tone couldn't help getting cold.

"I have no intention. I am the emperor of the State of Dayu. I'm afraid there is no one in the world who cares more about the safety of the State of Dayu than me!" Beichen Yeli also looked cold.

"The emperor previously said that the harem of the royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom was managed by a mourning family. The emperor was very relieved. Why did the mourning family immediately turn against the emperor when he said that he would choose another official woman for the emperor to enter the palace? If the emperor refuses to give so much real power to the mourning family, I'm afraid the mourning family will not be able to control this big harem! My family is old, please choose someone else to manage it for you!" The Empress Dowager shook her sleeves and stood up.

Beichenyeli was furious, but his mind became clearer and clearer. If the empress dowager let go of the things in the harem, I'm afraid that no one would care about the whole harem in a short period of time. Now he still has to follow the meaning of the empress dowager and can't be too hasty. Although it will be a matter of time to withdraw all his strength from the Wang family, but The personnel changes in the harem are indeed unable to move for a moment.

Thinking about this, Beichen Yeli's attitude eased down. He said slowly to the empress dowager, "Mother, I understand your intention. You are also thinking about everything for me and the State of Dayu, but if you just let that woman enter the palace, of course it is very simple, but after all, she is your own daughter. I think you are still waiting. After this siege, when I return to the imperial capital, I will have a good discussion with the ministers, and set a grade name before entering the palace. In this way, the combination of etiquette and law also gives light to the Wang family.

After listening to Beichen Yeli's words, the Empress Dowager saw that he was soft and felt that what he said was true. The expression on her face gradually eased. "The mourning family is a little ill-considered. Sure enough, the emperor is still considerate. Let's follow what the emperor said. After returning to Beijing, the mourning family ordered someone to inform the Wang family to prepare early and just wait. The emperor's decree."

"Yes, Queen Mother, this time you and I came to Wolong Mountain for a rest. Don't worry about these trivial things anymore. It's the most important thing to take good care of yourself." Beichen Yeli personally picked up the plate of golden honey dates and put them in the hands of the empress dowager and said, "Mother, these honey dates are all made of the freshest and fullest dates of the season to dry the core and then use high-quality royal jelly and warm medicinal materials such as gelatin. It is most suitable for women to eat. You can have a try it."

"Your Majesty, if you have this filial piety, your family will be satisfied." The Empress Dowager picked up a date and sighed with satisfaction.

A peaceful atmosphere was restored in the car for a while.

After driving for five or six hours, the carriage finally arrived at the camp of the Royal Hunting Ground in Wolong Mountain before sunset.

Local officials cleaned up the residence of the palace for Beichen Yeli and the empress dowager as early as possible.

After all, the Empress Dowager was old, and the carriage was accompanied by Eou He and a group of accompanying maids to rest in the bedroom.

Beichenye left the screen and retreated the local officials and accompanying eunuchs who were frightened to see the face of the sky, and led Ling Xiao into the inner room of the bedroom served by the father-in-law Fang.

"Ling Xiao, how are you these days on the Eleventh?" Beichen Yeli asked.

At this moment, he is most concerned about the 10,000 elite soldiers hidden in Wolong Mountain.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine on the side of Dark Eleven, waiting for you to meet those elite soldiers trained by the unique training method left by the ghost handsome master." Ling Xiao hugged his fist and replied.

"I have always been relieved to do things on the 11th. You can send someone to tell him that I will take time to secretly leave the palace and visit him and his 10,000 soldiers in the mountains these days."

"I complied with the order."

"In addition, you sent more people around the Empress Dowager to monitor her and the eunuch maids' movements. If you find anything abnormal, report it to me immediately." Beichen Yeli thought and told that Ling Xiao sent more people to monitor the empress dowager and her party. After all, the main purpose of him taking the empress Wolong Mountain this time was to cut off the contact between the empress dowager and the Wang family and prevent the Wang family from causing any chaos in the court and the harem when he was not in the imperial capital.

"I understand!" Ling Xiao followed Beichen Yeli from birth to death for many years. Naturally, he knew Beichen Yeli's thoughts like the palm of his hand. There was no need to break what Beichen Yeli explained. He also knew that it must be of great significance.

"Okay, you go down first." Beichen Yeli waved to Ling Xiao and asked him to retreat.

Ling Xiao bowed and quickly withdrew from Beichen Yeli's bedroom.

Not long after Ling Xiao left, Grandpa Fang hurried in with a tray.

Eunuch Fang immediately came forward and reported: "As expected, Lord Ling reported that as soon as the empress dowager went back to the bedroom to rest, he came to the kitchen and looked for an accompanying cook named Zhang Da in the imperial dining room, and then secretly gave him a note. The big one took the note and went to one in the town at the foot of the mountain. The household, and then the people who monitored him came back and reported that they saw a carrier pigeon flying out of the yard. Lord Ling had sent someone to shoot the pigeon. As for Zhang Da, Lord Ling was afraid of frightening the snake, so he let him go back to the kitchen of the palace, just waiting for you to fall.

After saying that, Grandpa Fang presented a tray, in which was the pigeon shot through the chest by arrows.
