Chapter 589 Dongdu is in chaos 2
"Your Highness, there is news."
In the study of the East Palace, Li Xian, with a pale face, was turning around like an ant on a hot pot, but Zhang Che, the eunuch of the East Palace, hurriedly rushed out from behind the screen. He couldn't even wipe the sweat all over his head. He rushed to Li Xian and gasped and reported harshly.
"Huh? What's the matter? Say it, say it quickly!"
Li Xian was obviously in a hurry. When he heard the news, he turned around and roared with a tight face.
"Your Highness, the news in the palace has been confirmed, and the emperor has issued an edict. In addition to agreeing to all the matters requested by His Royal Highness the British King, he also offered the capture of Zetianmen and transferred the political affairs hall as a prime minister. In addition, the imperial edict ordered the whole country to celebrate the third day. Your Majesty will have a banquet in Zetianmen tomorrow night to celebrate."
Seeing that Li Xian was anxious, Zhang Che did not dare to delay a little. He hurriedly took a breath and reported the news one by one.
"Damn it!"
As soon as the news came out, the last trace of luck in Li Xian's heart was also shattered. As soon as his heart twitched, his body couldn't help but stop. He shook a few times and almost fell to the ground. His already white face was extremely blue, and there was no trace of blood.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you all right?"
At this sight of Li Xian's faltering, Zhang Che rushed over in a hurry, held Li Xian's body with his hand, and called in panic.
"How can it be like this? How can it be like this? God wants to die?"
Li Xian ignored Zhang Che's call at all. He shook his head in pain and shouted with extreme unwillingness.
"Your Highness, things have not been so bad. Even if the King of England returns to the court, he is just a minister. Your Highness, you are the king. This king and minister is separated by the sky. In addition, His Royal Highness has always been kind to His Highness, and he will never..."
Seeing Li Xian's pain, Zhang Che's heart couldn't help but be confused. He hurriedly opened his words, but he was afraid that he didn't even believe what he said. As he spoke, he couldn't go on.
"You don't understand, you won't understand, that's all. Let's not talk about this. Go, tell Chen Xiaotian and Zhu Kaizhi to come here immediately. Go!"
Li Xian had already made up his mind that he would not be moved by Zhang Che's words. After sighing, he did not explain much. He gritted his teeth and issued an order.
"Your Highness, you..."
As Li Xian's absolute confidant, Zhang Che knew the identity of the two and what Li Xian wanted them to come at this time. He couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly wanted to persuade them.
"Don't say any more, go!"
Li Xian obviously didn't want to discuss this matter anymore. He waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zhang Che.
"No."
Since Li Xian had made a decision, Zhang Che did not dare to say more. He could only answer worriedly and turned around and exited the room.
"Alas..."
After Zhang Che went there, Li Xian stood silently in the study for a long time. Finally, he raised his hair and sighed for a long time. There was a lot of bitterness, a lot of helplessness and melancholy inside...
"Mother."
Although the court discussion has dispersed, Queen Wu can't come down. There are a lot of folds waiting for her to be approved. Even if it's almost noon, she still can't stop. She was busy, but she saw Princess Taiping in pink clothes leading several maids to turn out from behind the screen. Yingying Yifu called sweetly.
"Yo, Taiping is coming."
Empress Wu raised her head and saw Taiping. A warm smile immediately appeared on her face. She raised her hand and motioned that Princess Taiping did not have to be polite.
"Mother, it's noon. Shouldn't you have eaten yet?"
Princess Taiping got up and jumped to Wuhou's body. Her small body was soft, and she was tired of Wuhou's arms. She looked up at Wuhou and asked with a smile.
"Well, Yueer, I'll use it first. I'll go when I'm done."
Queen Wu patted Princess Taiping's nose and replied with a smile.
"Mother, the child has used it for a long time, and he knows that his mother hasn't used it yet, so he sent it to his mother. It's not too late no matter how busy he is to use it."
Xiao Taiping twisted his body, pouted coquettishly, looked back and pointed to the little maids holding a few food boxes behind her, and said extremely.
"Okay, the mother will listen to the peace. Just hand it over."
Empress Wu did not insist, but agreed with a smile. She waved her hand and motioned the little maids to bring the meal up.
"My wife, Dr. Ming is here."
After all, the Empress Wu couldn't use the meal. Just as a group of little maids of honor walked forward and was about to open the lid of the food box, she saw the eunuch Cheng Deng, who hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, grabbed the front, bowed and said loudly.
"Oh? Xuan!"
As soon as he heard that Ming Chongyi actually entered the palace at this time, the Empress Wu's heart couldn't help but move, but there was nothing to say. She just waved her hand calmly.
"Mother, you'd better eat first. This is the child's heart, mother..."
Princess Taiping has been in the palace for a long time. She has heard some vague rumors. She is very disgusted with Ming Chongyan and does not want her to disturb the gathering of mother and daughter, so she rubbed her in the arms of Queen Wu coquettishly and pouted her mouth.
"Good Yue'er, my mother has something to do. Let's put this meal here first. I'll use it as soon as my mother comes back. Let's go and have a rest first."
Queen Wu had something in her heart. She would not move because of Princess Taiping's coquettishness. However, she didn't completely brush Princess Taiping's kindness, so she reached out with a smile and helped Princess Taiping's little body up and issued an eviction order with a smile.
"Yes, the child left first. Mother, remember to eat."
Although Empress Wu's words were said with a smile, the inside was full of irresistible meaning. Although Princess Taiping was reluctant, she did not dare to stay more. She could only respond with a small mouth and led a group of maids of honor to go out. As soon as she arrived at the screen, she happened to meet Ming Chongyi hurried in from the outside.
"Weichen has met Princess Taiping."
Ming Chong was anxious, but he did not dare to argue with Princess Taiping, so he stepped aside and politely saluted.
"Humph!"
Princess Taiping didn't want to see Ming Chongyan. At this time, she was disturbed by the gathering of mother and daughter. She didn't look good. She gave Ming Chongyan a fierce look and did not return the gift. She turned her head and led a group of little maids far away.
"Weichen, see the Queen Mother."
Ming Chongzhen really didn't understand when he had offended the proud little peacock Taiping. Every time he met, he got a cold treatment. However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just shrugged his shoulders helplessly, so he walked into the imperial study, took a few steps, grabbed the copywriting, and respectfully saluted.
"You all retreat!"
For Ming Chongyi's salute, Empress Wu was not in a hurry to shout, but waved her hand and ordered expressionlessly.
"No!"
Queen Wu had an order, and Cheng Deng did not dare to neglect him a little. They bowed and agreed. In such a large study, only Ming Chongyan, who stood alone, stood alone with Empress Wu.
"But is there any news at the east end?"
After everyone retreated, Queen Wu didn't move much, but raised her eyebrows slightly and opened her mouth slightly carelessly.
"The Empress Dowager Sheng Ming, it is true. Weichen has received reliable information, and the east has moved. Maybe there will be a big move in these days."
Ming Chongyan has been following Queen Wu for a long time and has long been used to the wisdom of Queen Wu. At this time, Queen Wu broke his own intention in one bite, but he did not feel surprised. He just bowed down slightly and reported the news with a trace of caution.
"Well, have you arranged to stop it?"
Empress Wu did not ask for details, but directly asked how to deal with it.
"If you go back to the mother's words, Weichen has already told me that there is no need to make a mistake, but..."
Hearing this, Ming Chongyan showed a trace of hesitation on his face. He meditated a little, but he still didn't say the words completely.
"Do you have any concerns about Chongyan? Let's listen to it with me."
Queen Wu looked at Ming Chongyu with a slight surprise, gave a encouraging smile, and asked gently.
"The Empress Dowager, Weichen thinks that the one in the east is not very threatening, but the one in Hexi is not small. If the one falls in the east, once the one in Hexi takes office, it may be difficult to control it. Please think twice."
Ming Chongyan knew that Queen Wu had always been arbitrary. Once he had a decision, he could not be questioned by others. However, he was extremely uneasy at the bottom of his heart. After gritting his teeth, he still said it clearly.
"Don't worry about Chongyan. Birds are eventually tame in the cage. If they are always free, it will eventually become a big disaster. This must be prevented."
Empress Wu obviously has considered in detail what Ming Chong-Yan said. She will not change her decision because of Ming Chong-Yan's words. In her opinion, the tiger is a fierce tiger in the mountain. Once locked in a cage, it is just a pet. No matter how fierce it is, there is nothing to do. In this regard, Queen Wu has absolute confidence and certainty. After all, the situation of the dynasty is already in his hands, but he is not afraid that Li Xian will make a big wave after he comes back.
"Yes, the queen is holy, and the minister is impressed."
Although Ming Chongyan was still quite suspicious, he dared not say anything more when he saw that Wu Hou had said this. He could only praise him.
"Chongyan doesn't have to be like this. Although this palace is sure of defeating the tiger, the preparations that should be done must be prepared in advance. Well, Luo Binwang has served as the national prison for many years, and it's time to move. What's more, Lin Mingdu is really incompetent to take care of the household department, and he also let it go. After the end of the matter, these two things can be done. And arrange it, that's it."
Queen Wu said that she was confident that she could subdue the tiger, but she was still extremely afraid of Li Xian in her heart. After a little thought, she planned to knock down the last two important ministers of Li Xian in the court.
"Mother Sheng Ming, if so, there may be no problem. Weichen is ready to go."
As soon as he heard Wu Hou's confession, Ming Chongyan was a little relieved, so he didn't say more. He respectfully answered the promise and wanted to leave. However, the man bowed his head and retreated. Suddenly, he felt black in front of him. When the fragrant wind hit, a soft body had been attached to him, and Ming Chongyan's body couldn't help but freeze on the spot...
