052 volume queen
The Empress Dowager seemed to be questioning when she heard his voice and quickly said to him, "Your Majesty, in fact, you can't blame the Evergreen King for this matter. It's all the mother's idea. I saw that you haven't come back for so long, and I heard that you went to the Black Forest. Ten out of ten people who went to the Black Forest died in it. The Queen Mother only thought that you were unfortunate. However, the country can't be without a king for a day, and it is the Queen Mother who let the Evergreen King temporarily ascend to the throne. The evergreen king didn't want to. It was the mother who advised him for a long time before he agreed to the mother. If you want to blame, you can blame the mother.
"Queen Mother, how can I blame you?" Huangfu Shangyin quickly said to the empress dowager.
"Since you don't blame your mother, you can't blame your royal brother, do you know? Your royal brother is really involuntarily.
"You can do whatever the mother says."
At this time, the Empress Dowager looked at the Evergreen King again and said to him with a smile, "The Evergreen King, since your brother has come back, today's canonization ceremony will be cancelled."
There was a trace of displeasure on the evergreen king's face, and his expression was obviously extremely angry.
He didn't say a word, but bowed his head and meditated there, neither agree nor deny it.
It seems that he doesn't want to be robbed of the throne so easily.
He was bowing his head and saying a word there when he heard Du Guolao smiling and saying, "I don't know what Changqing Wang is thinking, or is there something else?"
As soon as Evergreen Wang saw Du Guolao, his face suddenly changed greatly.
He said repeatedly, "Mr. Du is also here?"
"Yes, I heard that there is such a thing today, so naturally I have to come and have a look."
"The royal brother came back alive and well. Naturally, the throne will be returned to the royal brother. At that time, it was said that I would temporarily replace the throne, which was just a helpless move. Brother, do you think so?"
Seeing that he said so, Huangfu Shangyin nodded and said, "You and my brother are of the same heart, and their strength is broken."
"Yes, brothers are of the same mind, and their strength is broken."
The evergreen king said very insincerely, but there was nothing he could do.
After seeing him do this, Murong Qinglu's face involuntarily showed an imperceptible smile.
Now she finally understands what's going on.
It turned out that the evergreen king had always wanted to be the emperor, but he had no choice but to do so.
If we hadn't called Mr. Du to come with us today, I'm afraid the Evergreen King would not have been so easy.
Although she thought so in her heart, her face was not exposed at all.
When she saw that the Evergreen King didn't say a word, she knew that the Evergreen King was very dissatisfied with today's matter.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can get it at your fingertips and become the emperor, but I didn't expect it to be taken away so easily. No matter who is, you will never be happy.
"Well, let's take today's event as a farce. All the courtiers can go back."
The Empress Dowager turned her face and said to the courtiers.
The courtiers nodded and retreated away.
At this time, she said to Du Guolao, "Du Guolao, thank you for sending my emperor back this time."
"Why do you have to say that? It is also the responsibility of the old minister to be able to ensure the safety of the emperor. Well, since the emperor has come back safe and sound now, the old minister will go first.
With that, he turned around and left.The Empress Dowager lowered her head and thought about it there, and quickly said to Huangfu Shangyin, "Huang'er, you should send Du Guolao away in person."
"Yes." Huangfu Shangyin agreed and quickly sent Du Guolao away in person.
After sending Du Guolao away, Huangfu Shangyin came back.
The Empress Dowager looked at the crowd. She walked to the Evergreen King and said to the Evergreen King, "The Evergreen King, today's matter is indeed a little unfair to you. If you want to blame, you can blame the mother of the family. In fact, this matter is not good for the family. It is the family who is confused for a moment to have such an idea. Now that the emperor has come back, please don't pay attention to it.
After all, the Evergreen King is not her biological son. She is always a little estranged when she talks to the Evergreen King.
The evergreen king quickly said, "Why does the Empress Dowager have to say so? All this is what I am willing to do. Since the royal brother has come back, the minister will leave first, not to disturb the relationship between the royal brother and his mother.
With that, he turned around and said goodbye.
After he left, the Empress Dowager turned her face to look at Murong Qinglu and said to Murong Qinglu, "Kneel down!"
Murong Qinglu was stunned for a moment, but still knelt down.
The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Qinglu coldly and knelt down and said to her, "Murong Qinglu, do you know your guilt?"
Murong Qinglu was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer.
The Empress Dowager said angrily, "You are so reckless and bold that you dare to take the emperor to the Black Forest and almost let the emperor die in the Black Forest. Do you think what you are doing today is right?"
She didn't understand what was going on until she heard the Empress Dowager say this.
It turned out that after she left, Hongyan told the emperor the whole thing, and the emperor also went to the Black Forest to save her.
Who knows that the two of them didn't come back for a long time after they went there.
Seeing that they hadn't come back for a long time, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but get anxious and quickly asked what had happened.
Red silk had no choice but to tell the Empress Dowager what happened.
After knowing this matter, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but be very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Now the Empress Dowager thinks that most of the emperors can't come back. After all, no one who enters the Black Forest can come back.
After waiting for many days, seeing that the emperor had not come back, the Empress Dowager had basically lost confidence.
It happens that at this time, there is the wife of the Evergreen King, that is, Murong Yunyi is talking to the empress dowager every day in the empress dowager's ear. The country can't be without a king for a day, and the family can't be ownerless for a day. Otherwise, it is easy to be disocated by the pilgrim king.
After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to make the Evergreen King emperor.
The whole thing is like this. If the emperor hadn't come back in time, maybe the canonization ceremony would have been carried out.
After listening to her words, Huangfu Shang couldn't help but feel that the two came back in time.
If you come back a little later, maybe the world has changed.
The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Qinglu coldly and said to her, "If you hadn't taken the emperor and went to the Black Forest, how could this happen?"
Seeing the empress dowager's blame, Huangfu Shangyin quickly explained to the empress dowager, "Mother, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Qinglu. At that time, it was not that Qinglu wanted to take the minister, but the minister followed him, and the minister also saw Grandpa Cheng in the west of the Black Forest."
With that, he told the Empress Dowager what he had seen in the Black Forest.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was unmoved and said coldly, "What's the use of saying this? In a word, the emperor, your visit here is indeed very thrilling. You were almost buried in the black forest. The mourning family will never forget it like this. Someone must be responsible for this matter. Murong Qinglu, you think about it on the ground when you go back, and you can't rely on the merits of helping the emperor ascend the throne at the beginning. Do you understand?"
"Qingluo knows."
Murong Qinglu nodded and said respectfully.
"Okay, you step back first. Mother and son have something to say here."
"Yes." Murong Qinglu agreed and left.
After seeing her leave, the empress dowager looked at Huangfu Shangyin and said to him, "Son, son, you are so confused. How can you follow Murong Qinglu to act recklessly?"
"Mother, didn't you ask your son to treat Murong Qingluo better? The reason why I did this is to listen to my mother.
"Yes, the mother queen asked you to treat her better, because she helped you ascend the throne, but even so, can't you let her arbitrarily understand? If she goes to the Black Forest, you follow her to the Black Forest. Do you fall in love with her?"
"Of course not."
After hearing her ask this question, Huangfu Shangyin quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just listening to my mother."
"If that's the case, that's good. Yes, Murong Qinglu is indeed a good girl. She has indeed done a lot of things for us, but she has always been a foreigner and is not trustworthy. Even if she is good to her, it is limited. We just need to do our best to treat her with face, and the truth is Go on..."
After thinking about it, she said in a low voice, "The real power must not be touched by her, do you understand?"
After Huangfu Shangyin heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. My mother is right."
"Also, you should beware of the evergreen king."
The Empress Dowager thought about it and said this sentence.
"You are brothers, and the Queen Mother should not have said these words. However, do you know why the Queen Mother has no choice but to make the King Evergreen Emperor? In fact, as far as the Ai family knows, the Evergreen King has basically taken control of all the gates in the harem, and the court is already his people. If the Ai family does not agree to make him emperor, he will kill me. Unfortunately, although the Ai family is the empress dowager in this harem, she has no power and no military power in their hands. After the Ai family figured out the situation, they had no choice but to take him as the emperor as a delaying plan, and then slowly wait for you to come back and find a way.
"You said that the evergreen king has a desire to rebel, mother?" He looked behind his mother and asked.
"I don't know if there is a desire to rebel, but he is always the son of the former emperor, and it is also appropriate to cove the throne. For the evergreen king, you should be idle and never let him touch the center of power. Do you understand?"
"I understand what the mother said." He replied quickly.
"Well, you can go back and have a good rest first. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
"Yes, my son retired." He wanted to turn around and leave.
The Empress Dowager thought of something again and called him.
The Empress Dowager looked at him, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and said to him slowly, "I know that you have been very fond of a maidservant recently. The name of the maidservant is Xie Yu. This woman can't be spoiled. She is snake-hearted and scorpionate and pet-minded. She is definitely not the ideal candidate to be a queen. You must not spoil her too much. Otherwise, the mourning family will only have the opportunity to kill.
Huangfu Shangyin only felt a chill on his back when he heard this. Not long after his mother ascended the position of empress dowager, she had become so cold-blooded.
He had to nod and said, "I know, mother."
At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to let Du Qianyi, the daughter of Du Guo, be the queen. He felt a little unwilling, but he was also a little helpless.
He had to report this matter to the Empress Dowager.
After listening to it, the Empress Dowager asked him, "Is what you said true?"
"Yes." Huangfu Shang said helplessly, "In fact, I didn't want to agree to Du Guolao, but I was helpless in that situation."
After saying that, he said unhappily, "Mother, in fact, it was my son who was forced to agree at that time, my son..."
"Do you want to break the contract?"
The Empress Dowager asked him quietly.
"Children..."
Before he had time to answer, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "You can't break the contract anyway. Do you know who Mr. Du Guo is? He is the elder of the Three Dynasties, and he has a lot of power in this harem. If he breaks the contract, I'm afraid he will never let go of the emperor so easily. We don't know how many cronies he has in this harem. If his cronies rebel, I'm afraid it's far from being as simple as the Evergreen King. In a word, no matter what you promised him, you must do it. Since you promised him that you would make Du Qianyi the queen, you must make Du Qianyi the queen.
"But... After my mother, I have never met Du Qianyi, and I don't know what kind of person she is, so I rashly set her up as a queen. What if the husband and wife don't get along well in the future?"
"So what if the husband and wife don't get along well? Whether it is a big marriage in the palace or a folk marriage, whether it is the queen, or an ordinary folk couple, it is the words of parents' life matchmaker. They have never seen each other before getting married. Can't they stay together for life? Whether you like Du Qianyi or not, she is a fairy or an ugly monster. Now that you have promised Du Guolao, you can't go back on it. This is for the sake of the court, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Huangfu Shangyin agreed, but he was always a little disappointed and left with the empress dowager.
Along the way, somehow, all the shadows in his mind were all about Murong Qinglu, which made him feel very annoyed.
