Iron Dynasty

A bright moon hangs on the treetops, and under the silver moonlight, everything in the palace appears hazy and mysterious.

Xiao Ming was assassinated, and the prince was imprisoned, but in just one day and one night, the city of Chang'an was already turbulent.

Your Majesty, the Empress has been kneeling outside for half an hour. How can you be so exhausted if you kneel down again?

Feng Deshui looked at Xiao Wenxuan who was pacing back and forth. Xiao Wenxuan had been very irritable since returning from the East Palace. He knew that the matter of the prince hiding the barbarians in the East Palace this time made Xiao Wenxuan confused.

Let her kneel if she likes to kneel. If she hadn't doted on the prince so much, would the prince be so unbearable? Xiao Wenxuan said angrily.

Feng De shrank his neck, this time Xiao Wenxuan seemed to be really angry.

With a sigh, he continued: Your Majesty, not for Queen Zhao, but for the dragon embryo in the Queen's belly.

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, then remembered that Empress Zhao was already pregnant, he snorted coldly, and said, Let her come in.

Feng Deshui nodded. He knew that Xiao Wenxuan was only angry with Queen Zhao because of the prince, but he still cared about Queen Zhao from the bottom of his heart.

He has followed Xiao Wenxuan since he was a child, and he is very aware of Empress Zhao's position in his heart.

Many people think that Xiao Wenxuan supports the prince many times because of King Zhao, but few people know that this is just one of the reasons. The real reason is that Xiao Wenxuan's favorite in this palace is Queen Zhao.

When Xiao Wenxuan was still a prince, he and the then prince went to Zhao land at the same time.

It was at that time that they met Empress Zhao, who was known as the first beauty in Zhao land at that time.

At that time, the prince and Xiao Wenxuan fell in love with Queen Zhao at the same time, and then the barbarians invaded, and Queen Zhao was besieged by the barbarians when she was saving relatives. It was Xiao Wenxuan who rescued the Queen Zhao alone.

During this time, the two gradually developed feelings for each other.

However, at that time, King Zhao valued the prince and tried to obstruct it, but Queen Zhao pressed her to death, and finally King Zhao finally agreed to the marriage.

Afterwards, Xiao Wenxuan went to war everywhere, with outstanding military achievements, and he was increasingly favored by the emperor, and the ministers also praised Xiao Wenxuan well.

Under such circumstances, the prince gradually revealed murderous intentions towards Xiao Wenxuan, and secretly believed that the then Kang Wang took advantage of Xiao Wenxuan to go to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion and set up an ambush to kill Xiao Wenxuan.

However, this secret letter was obtained by Xiao Wenxuan. Since then, he has completely strengthened his determination to seize the throne. After returning to the dynasty, he launched a mutiny to force the prince to commit suicide, and the former emperor was imprisoned in the cold palace.

Recalling the past, Feng Deshui couldn't help sighing in his heart. Too many unbearable things were ignored in his heart, worth it and not worth it, but now it has become a cloud of the past.

Arriving at Queen Zhao's side, Feng Deshui carefully helped Queen Zhao up and said, Madame, Your Majesty is in a fit of anger, so be careful when you speak.

Empress Zhao wiped away her tears. She followed Xiao Wenxuan when she was fifteen years old. Now that thirty years have passed, she naturally understands her husband.

She nodded lightly and said, Thank you Feng Shilang for reminding me.

Feng Deshui smiled lightly, helped Queen Zhao to the door of the imperial study, backed out by himself, and stood guard at the door.

Inside the house, Xiao Wenxuan just glanced at Empress Zhao who came in and ignored it.

Empress Zhao smiled bitterly and said, Is the emperor still resenting his concubine for protecting the crown prince?

Xiao Wenxuan snorted and still did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Queen Zhao said sadly: Your Majesty, do you think that the concubine is really only for the future throne of the prince? Of course the prince was wrong this time, but if he assassinated the King of Qi, how could he hide the assassin in the East Palace? The second prince was just murdered by a traitor, and there is probably a battle for the throne behind this.

In the end, you still want to keep the crown prince's position. I don't know that the prince is just being used by others, but this barbarian is indeed hidden in the East Palace to play, so stupid, how can I hand the Great Yu Kingdom to a man Such a disgraceful prince.

Empress Zhao said slowly: My concubine understands that the prince is not good enough, but hasn't the emperor's assassination made it clear to the emperor? The prince is still there, and there are people who want to kill Xiao Ming to deal with the prince. If the prince is abolished, take it What methods will these princes use to kill each other? And if any prince ascends the throne, how will they treat King Qi? Don't forget Your Majesty, when you tried to get rid of King Kang, it almost ruined the world. Yuguo, although this is a dangerous tactic of military operations, and the barbarians will not continue to go south, but you haven't had a better day in your heart these years, haven't you?

To shut up!

Xiao Wenxuan was furious, and Empress Zhao's words hurt Xiao Wenxuan's heart.

At that time, it was he who secretly ordered the forbidden army to stand still, which led to the barbarians being able to capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the reason why he did this was because of the secret order of the prince back then.

Your Majesty, your concubine knows that you don't want to bring this up, but please think twice, now that these princes are going to kill King Qi, and how will they treat King Qi after they ascend the throne, I'm afraid these princes will also collude with the barbarians. The king is dead, if that time comes, the barbarians will definitely not give the Great Yu country another chance, and there will be no next king of Qi who can resist the barbarians. Queen Zhao said word by word.

Hmph, other princes would kill Xiao Ming, wouldn't the crown prince not kill King Qi? Didn't you see the prince's attitude towards King Qi when you were in the East Palace?

Chen and concubine can ask the prince to make a vote to the princes. If the prince breaks his promise after ascending the throne, everyone can kill him! Empress Zhao said solemnly: But please ask the emperor to let King Qi and other princes also vote. name!

Put your name!

Xiao Wenxuan's color changed slightly. This name vote was an oath made by Gaozu and seven other vassal kings with different surnames.

At that time, in order to prevent the brothers from killing each other, the vote for the name stipulated that if the brother was killed, the brother would be killed.

Then, the time when the nomination certificate was used again was in the period of Emperor Gaozu. At that time, the battle for the throne was the most severe. Before his death, the emperor asked the princes to set up the nomination certificate and made it known to the world. Emperor's throne.

It's just that Xiao Wenxuan understands that this registration certificate is just a contract, and it is only up to the prince to abide by it, and he cannot use the registration certificate as a panacea.

Empress, you take your name submission too seriously. Xiao Wenxuan shook his head, A woman's opinion!

Empress Zhao was still very persistent, she said: The concubine naturally knows that this certificate of entry cannot completely restrain the other princes, but the concubine can guarantee that the prince will fulfill his promise, and His Majesty can list King Qi as the executor of the certificate. If the prince breaks his oath , King Qi can raise troops to conquer the prince.
