Chapter 7 Xiang Queen’s Means(1/2)
After ordering people to send Qian Yi away, Zhao Xu accompanied Queen Xiang and had lunch.
Feng Jing personally went to the imperial kitchen to prepare the meals.
It is a vegetarian dish made according to Zhao Xu's request.
Of course, vegetarian dishes are vegetarian dishes, but they contain a lot of protein.
There are plenty of eggs and milk, and many vegetables are prepared.
Although the taste is not as rich as what Zhao Xu ate at the New Century restaurant, the texture is far superior.
However, Zhao Xu's mind was not on eating.
He focused his energy on getting closer to the queen.
Children, in this aspect, have a natural advantage.
Empress Xiang was already overflowing with motherly love, and with Zhao Xu's deliberate closeness, even her body and bones became lighter after a meal.
I just wish I could stay at Qingning Palace, but now the official family is seriously ill and people are in panic. It is impossible not to keep an eye on the Queen at Funing Palace.
Especially now, looking at the well-behaved, sensible and filial prince.
Queen Xiang knew that she would not only do it for herself, but also for this child.
Otherwise, the yesterday of Queen Xiaozhang and King Yan Yi is the tomorrow of their mother and son.
Therefore, even if he was reluctant to leave, after having lunch with Zhao Xu with the Queen, he had to say goodbye to Zhao Xu reluctantly. Of course, before leaving, Queen Xiang ordered someone to carefully bind the Buddhist scriptures copied by Zhao Xu.
Okay, take it away.
Zhao Xu sent Queen Xiang to the entrance of Qingning Palace, watched Queen Xiang disappear from sight under the guards, and then turned back to the palace.
Returning to the dormitory of Qingning Palace, Zhao Xu called Feng Jing and ordered: "I only copied one volume of "Eliminate Disasters" in the morning, and there is still "Extension of Life" that has not been written. Please prepare a study room for me!"
Then he continued his great work of copying Buddhist scriptures in Qingning Palace.
This is the only thing he can do now.
It is also Zhao Xu’s best amulet.
A word of filial piety is enough to make him invincible.
Let the traitor's plot to rebel against the party be in vain!
…
From Qingning Palace to Funing Palace, there are many official houses and palaces along the way.
There is also an endless stream of officials and followers patrolling and guarding.
The Queen's ceremonial guards responded all the way.
All the officials who came and went avoided the road one after another and bowed to ask questions.
But Empress Xiang's thoughts on the chariot remained entirely in Qingning Palace.
She recalled the appearance of her sixth brother, the way he looked sensible in front of her, and recalled over and over again the clear and childish but sincere calls of "mother queen" from the sixth brother.
As a result, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the chariot stopped in front of Funing Palace, Queen Xiang was still immersed in the memory of Qingning Palace.
It wasn't until the chariot was put down that Yan Shouqin's voice called her back to reality: "Sage, Funing Palace has arrived!"
"Oh!" Queen Xiang took a deep breath, abandoned the distracting thoughts in her heart, and got off the chariot with the support of Zhang, the Minister of Kunning Palace.
He then ordered the ceremonial guards to stay outside the Funing Hall, and the Queen led only Yan Shouqin and Shangshu Zhang into the emperor's bedroom from the Zhaoqing Gate on the left side of the Funing Hall.
When they met, they saw Liang Congzheng, the minister serving the emperor's decoction in the Funing Hall.
"How is the official family going?" asked the queen.
"Half an hour ago, Chen Yijian checked everyone's pulse..." Liang Congzheng replied.
"What did Chen Yijian say?"
Liang Zongzheng carefully chose his words: "Sage: Chen Yi, in a nutshell, everyone's dragon body is still the same..."
He sighed to the queen, not knowing what to say.
Liang became a political official, so he could only find some good words to comfort him: "In order to let the saint know, the governors went to Zhazi at noon and said that it was a great victory at Xihe. Li Douzhi commanded his Tibetan generals to go deep into the territory of the Western bandits and set up an ambush for the bandit generals. Chen Daichu has gained a lot, so he should also praise the generals..."
"The Empress Dowager has ordered the prime ministers to perform the petition, and ordered them to reward all the generals as soon as possible. She also ordered the generals to report their merits and prepare them. When everyone wakes up, she will read them to everyone. Maybe everyone can cheer up after hearing the victory report. !”
Queen Xiang listened and nodded: "I hope so!"
She knows her husband.
Officials like martial arts, have lofty ambitions, and have strategies in mind. When he was still King Ying, he had the ambition to be the Queen of the Mountain and the strategy to destroy Xia.
In the 19 years since he has been in office, he has been keeping in mind that he will rejuvenate the country and unify the country.
However, God does not follow human wishes.
In military affairs, he suffered repeated setbacks and constant blows.
Especially the defeat of Yongle City hit him hard and felt deeply humiliated.
Nowadays, the illness is serious, and most of it is caused by the blow caused by the defeat of Yongle City.
If the officials heard the good news from the front, they might be cheered up.
At least, you can have more waking hours every day.
Then he asked Liang Congzheng: "Who is serving the officials in bed now?"
Liang Congzheng replied: "I am reporting to the sage: the medical officers currently serving in the ban are several national doctors headed by Sun Sanchao, the daily caretakers are Mrs. Si Yiliang, Mrs. Wang, etc., and the decoctions and medicines are given by the minister and several other imperial medicines. The rules of coordination and shift change are Zhang Duzhi..."
She nodded to the queen, indicating that she understood. If it had been in the past, she would have ordered Liang Congzheng to bring her in to visit the official family.
However, today I asked the Queen about another matter: "Where is Shi Deyi now?"
Liang Congzheng hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and replied: "Sage Zhizhi: Shi Douzhi will have a rest today and stay at the Xuanpingfang residence!"
"You're not going to take a bath today?" He smiled at the queen, but she certainly wouldn't believe it.
Shi Deyi was one of the most trusted and trusted figures in the officialdom.
They are always inseparable and never leave each other.
But since February, Guan Jia's illness has worsened, and he has lost the ability to move his hands freely, and has even lost the ability to direct state affairs through writing.
The big mink crotch disappeared inside.
By rough calculation, it should be ten days!
Hugh?
I'm afraid he's under house arrest!
Otherwise, if the official is seriously ill and Shi Deyi is loyal to the official, at this moment, it should be Shi Deyi and not Zhang Maoze who is guarding the emperor all night long!
In the past, Queen Xiang really didn't want to care about it, and she was too lazy to care about these nasty things.
Just out of sight and out of mind.
But now, Queen Xiang's maternal instinct has been awakened.
In my heart, the calls of 'Mother Queen' from the sixth brother of Qingning Palace came back.
The feelings Sixth Brother felt when he held her are still before his eyes.
The maternal cub-protecting genes are fully awakened.
So, Empress Xiang took a deep look at Liang Congzheng, who had been married to an official for 20 years, and was married to an official for 19 years. Although Empress Xiang has always been hidden in the palace and did not interfere with internal and external affairs, it does not mean that she does not understand anything. ,do not know anything.
"On the day when the king came to rule, he used the yin and yang of the law to spread the customs, and punished the country by his own family. The royal couple followed the moral ethics of the emperor, and the crown of the six palaces was the eternal autumn!" She read in her heart the content of the edict after the official family registration: "I have been honored by the official family. I believe in love, I have established myself as the middle palace, and I am close to my sixth brother. I can’t just sit back and watch, the thieves who disrupt the family bring trouble to my family!"
He just turned around and said to Liang Congzheng: "Liang Diantou, please lead the way!"
Then he reached out to Yan Shouqin. The latter immediately and respectfully handed over the Buddhist scriptures handwritten by the Prince of Yan'an County that he had taken from Qingning Palace.
The text on the paper must be fair, clear, and equal in size.
Opening it up to the queen, she looked at the words, especially the last few lines.
"May my mother live a long life, my queen may live forever, and my concubine may be happy forever!" Each word danced in front of my eyes.
"Good boy!"
"My mother will never let you down!"
She is the fourth grandson of Xiang Wenjian, the empress of the current official family, the married wife, Changqiu in the middle palace, and the aunt of all the princes!
She must fight for Sixth Brother's things, and she has to fight for them!
This is not only for Brother Six, but also for herself.
The story of Empress Xiaozhang and King Yan Yi, as the fourth generation grandson of Xiang Wenjian, Empress Xiang had been told to pieces and torn to pieces by her family before she even married into an official family, and had been told countless times.
After marrying into an official family, Queen Xiang saw firsthand how the official family was filial and kind.
The relationship between ancestors and grandchildren among the people is far inferior to the relationship between the official family and the Cisheng.
