Chapter 25 It smells so good

Empress Dowager Gao in Baoci Palace has just returned from Funing Palace.

The emperor's health still did not improve.

I fed him bowl after bowl of soup and medicine, but there was no improvement at all.

The Vajra Dojo in Daqing Hall has been opened again and again, but no miracle has happened.

People in both the government and the public are in panic.

Empress Dowager Gao herself is also under tremendous pressure!

The emperor was seriously ill, and everyone in the government and the public were watching her, the Queen Mother.

Scholars all over the world were watching her as the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Gao naturally heard a lot of rumors and saw a lot of small actions going up and down.

For example, not long ago, Shi Deyi was sick at home.

Didn't Empress Dowager Gao know that when Shi Deyi reported his illness, he was ostracized or even coerced?

She just didn't say anything.

Anyway, she had never had a good impression of Shi Deyi.

Empress Dowager Gao disliked everything that this big Diao Dang around the emperor did over the years.

It just so happens that someone wants to suppress him.

Empress Dowager Gao followed the trend.

Empress Dowager Gao also saw what the queen did in private.

Empress Dowager Gao understood Empress Xiang's worries and fears.

That's why he did those things to the queen.

Of course, it is impossible to say that Empress Dowager Gao has no thoughts in her heart.

In fact, in the dead of night, when a person is taking a nap in the hall of Baoci Palace.

Didn't Queen Mother Gao never think about whether she could push her beloved son to that position?

However, she was just thinking about it.

After all, I didn’t and didn’t dare to take practical action.

Because Empress Dowager Gao knew that no one would support her.

Let’s not talk about the new party ministers.

Even the ministers of the old party would never agree.

Wang Gongchen from Daming Palace in Beijing, Feng Jing from Heyang Palace, Han Wei from Xuzhou, Lu Gongzhu from Yangzhou, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi from Luoyang.

Which one will support the brothers?

Once something like this happens, they will be more excited and angry than the New Party.

What about the new party?

Empress Dowager Gao knew that as long as she dared to do things that her brothers would do.

That would be an excuse to send Wang Anshi of Jiangning away.

Maybe Wang Anshi was in Jiangning right now, stretching his neck, waiting for her to make a mistake.

Even if the above restrictions are put aside, the attitude of the palace commander Yanda makes Empress Dowager Gao dare not act rashly!

Yanda put all his sons on guard outside Qingning Palace.

This is equivalent to Yanda putting the lives of his entire family in Qingning Palace.

If you really want to "brothers end up like brothers," the imperial guards of the three yamen will immediately rebel!

Therefore, Queen Mother Gao understood in her heart.

Her beloved son could only look at that position and dream.

Therefore, these days, Zhao Hao went to Funing Palace every day, and Empress Dowager Gao also knew very well what he did in Funing Palace.

Empress Dowager Gao knew that Zhao Hao's behavior was actually very inappropriate, and it was easy for him to be blamed or even given to others.

But she still indulged Zhao Hao.

From Empress Dowager Gao's point of view, since King Yong cannot ascend the throne, there is nothing wrong with giving him a chance to fantasize now.

As for the future?

As long as Zhao Hao doesn't take actual actions and make real attempts to usurp the country, will anyone dare to discuss the Tian family's affairs?

Just denounce whoever dares to discuss it!

Empress Dowager Gao was thinking about these things and felt worried.

Outside the curtain, Lao Zongyuan's voice came: "Your Majesty, Guan Gou Qingning Palace Feng Jing is begging for your Majesty's face outside the palace!"

Queen Mother Gao came to her senses and was stunned for a moment: "Feng Jing?"

"Is he the minister that Li Shunju recommended to the emperor?"

"yes……"

"If he isn't serving Sixth Brother in Qingning Palace, why would he come to Laoshen Palace?" Empress Dowager Gao asked curiously.

"As a tribute to your Majesty, Feng Jingyan came to pay homage to your Majesty on the orders of the Prince of Yan'an County!" Lao Zongyuan replied.

"Oh..." Empress Dowager Gao was surprised: "Sixth brother asked Feng Jing to come to see me?"

"But something happened?" Empress Dowager Gao now had a very good impression of her grandson who had been kept in a deep palace by the emperor and had little contact with him.

Be sensible, filial, and most importantly, know etiquette and be courteous.

At a young age, I already knew the importance of etiquette.

When he was young, he took the initiative to copy Buddhist scriptures for his father, the emperor, and pray for blessings. It was particularly rare that in addition to praying for his father, he also knew that he would also pray for his mother-in-law, queen mother, and concubines.

Moreover, the order is arranged very well and the wording is in line with etiquette.

I know that I should pray for the longevity of my mother-in-law, then the longevity of my mother-in-law, and finally the longevity of my mother-in-law.

Just this point made Empress Dowager Gao understand that this child was very unusual!

All these recent events have made Empress Dowager Gao feel somewhat jealous in her heart.

Jealous of the emperor!

The emperor's eldest son is so polite, so filial, and so smart!

On the other hand, what about the beloved son King Yong?

The husband and wife were at odds and the legitimate son was unfilial, so that was all. Even the few remaining sons, none of them became successful.

Every time she saw Empress Dowager Gao, she felt endless love and pity for her beloved son's unfortunate fate.

Outside the curtain, Lao Zongyuan reported in a formal manner: "I am reporting to you, I have heard from Feng Jing that the Prince of Yan'an County has been studying recently, and there are many things that he does not understand. Therefore, Feng Jing came to see your Majesty with a letter. Sun Chenru admires the empress’s holy kindness and longs for her blessing, support and guidance!”

After hearing this, Queen Mother Gao immediately became happy and asked, "Is this really so?"

Lao Zongyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please call Feng Jing to the front of the palace and we will know after you ask!"

Empress Dowager Gao nodded: "Then let Feng Jing come and speak in front of Laoshen Hall!"

"According to the order!"

A moment later, Empress Dowager Gao saw through the curtain that Lao Zongyuan was leading Feng Jing, the chamberlain of Qingning Palace, to the front of her curtain.

Feng Jing bowed deeply outside the curtain and said, "I'm in charge of Gou Qingning's palace. I would like to ask my empress how you are doing well!"

Empress Dowager Gao said: "I am fine!" Then she asked: "I heard that it was my sixth brother who ordered you to come to see me. Is there anything wrong?"

Feng Jing did not dare to neglect, and quickly knelt down and seriously repeated the words of Prince Yan'an to Empress Dowager Gao.

After hearing this, Queen Mother Gao's eyes suddenly brightened.

In fact, what Zhao Xu said touched her heart.

What does it mean to beg my great-mother, Shengmo Guangda, to be kind to the world? What is meant to beg my great-mother to expound the teachings of saints and not hesitate to speak loving words to the saints?

At this moment, Queen Mother Gao felt that this grandson's speech was simply too nice.

He is indeed her grandson!

However, the Queen Mother still has to be reserved when talking about Gao.

She asked deliberately: "Did Brother Six really say that?"

"How dare you deceive your empress?" Outside the curtain, Feng Jing kowtowed vigorously and said, "These are the exact words of His Highness the Prince, and I dare not omit or change a word!"

"If there is, the beggar empress will kill me with a stick to punish me for deceiving my empress!"

"Sixth brother is really my grandson...and a great grandson!" Empress Dowager Gao barely suppressed the joy in her heart, but her voice could not hide her excitement.

Back then, Empress Dowager Gao saw the way the emperor served his aunt and empress Ci Shengguang Xian, and she felt jealous in her heart.

Unexpectedly, now, Sun Tzu seems to be the same as the emperor back then.

Empress Dowager Gao tasted her grandson's words and felt as if she had eaten honey.

She finally knew why Cisheng was very dissatisfied with the late emperor back then.

But after the emperor persuaded him, he still took the initiative to reconcile.

With such a virtuous grandson, what more could I ask for?
