thank you + extra

As it turned out, Liu Zao was slightly distracted, but Prime Minister Xie was still there. She quickly came to her senses and asked, "How does Prime Minister Xie know that the King of Changyi will question my identity?" Call yourself me.

Xie Yi did not correct him either, but replied: "A few days ago, the minister spread a rumor to the ears of the King of Changyi. The rumor said that the emperor's grandson was weak and sick, and became more and more silent as he got older. The King of Changyi heard about it and immediately thought of it. The real emperor's grandson may have died of illness, but His Majesty is an impostor found outside. He is deposed today, and he will never have the opportunity to speak in front of everyone, so naturally he will raise doubts in front of the palace."

It turns out that today's affairs in the palace were all arranged by Prime Minister Xie.This made sense, no wonder the Prime Minister would let the King of Changyi make noise in the palace, no wonder she had been silently watching.

"It's just that His Majesty will stand up and prove his identity, which is beyond my expectation." Xie Yi said again.

It was a testament to her courage.Liu Zao smiled, then held back his smile, and said, "It's a pity that it didn't work out."

After the big event, Liu Zao almost forgot that she spoke so quietly, that her meeting with Xie Xiang today was only the third time they met.

"I have lived outside the palace for a long time and have no contact with the palace. Even if no one thinks of this right now, they will always think of it in the future. At that time, it will be a ready-made handle. It is better to expose it from the beginning and show iron evidence, so that people can no longer Doubt." Liu Zao expressed Xie Yi's intentions.

Xie Yi nodded: "Your Majesty is intelligent."

But Liu Zao still has doubts, since entering the palace, she has been full of doubts, unraveling some, will give birth to others, she has never fully seen the situation.

"Since the portrait is fake and the herring is not enough to prove it, how can Prime Minister Xie conclude that I am the grandson of Emperor Wu, so you are not afraid of really messing up my blood in the Han Dynasty?"

Xie Yi looked at her and said, "The great general was stopped outside the palace. Even though the King of Changyi was abolished, there were still many attendants and ministers staying in Weiyang Palace. The ministers had to go to deal with the aftermath and could not stay for long. The ministers came Here, there is something I want to say to Your Majesty."

She didn't answer, but talked about something else, Liu Zao knew she didn't want to talk, and didn't force her.She will always figure it out.

"Thank you, please tell me."

Xie Yi said: "Your Majesty, do you know why Changyi King was deposed in Changle Palace, not Weiyang Palace?"

Liu Zao thought about many questions, but she didn't think of this. She subconsciously asked, "Why?"

If it were an emperor's grandson who was older than the palace, he would know the reason, but Liu Zao grew up outside the palace, so he didn't know many things in the palace.Xie Yi didn't make things difficult for her, and directly explained the reason: "Changle Palace Guard is in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and now it is commanded by Chariot General Liang Ji. Weiyang Palace Guard has always been directly under the command of the Emperor, and only obeys the Emperor's orders."

Speaking of this, Liu Zao suddenly realized that he chose Changle Palace instead of Weiyang Palace, because only in Changle Palace can the king of Changyi be captured, and in Weiyang Palace, no one can attack the emperor.Liu He must have been tricked into coming to Changle Palace, so the general had no time to rescue him and was stopped outside the palace, allowing Prime Minister Xie and the Queen Mother to accomplish great things.

Liu Zao has a very high level of understanding, and can understand everything at one point.Xie Yi seemed to have come here specifically to talk to her about this matter, after finishing speaking, he left.

She was in a hurry, walking faster than the previous two times.

Changing the emperor, the sky has changed, and the city of Chang'an must be in chaos.Xie Xiang shouldered the heavy responsibility and went to deal with the aftermath, so he was busy.Liu Zao watched her go, feeling a little puzzled, wondering why Prime Minister Xie came to tell her about this.

This doubt did not remain for too long, and was quickly resolved.

As soon as Xie Yi left, the female officer entered again and led Liu Zao to see the Queen Mother.

Liu Zao had seen the Empress Dowager in the palace, but she didn't take a closer look at it. When she saw the Empress Dowager again, the Empress Dowager had already changed out of court clothes and put on a skirt. "It stands to reason that Your Majesty should live in Weiyang Palace. But Your Majesty is still a child. How can I rest assured that Your Majesty lives alone in the first palace. Why don't you just stay in Changle Palace and take care of food and clothing."

Chapter 11 Selfishness

Liu Zao immediately understood why Prime Minister Xie rushed over despite his busy schedule, and told her the difference between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace.If she lives in Weiyang Palace and is protected by palace guards, she will be safe and sound. If she stays in Changle Palace, she will be guarded and controlled by the Queen Mother.

Liu Zao was imprisoned in Xiaogongyuan for 24 days. During the 24th day, her eyes and ears were closed, and her movements were blocked. All she saw every day was that small courtyard and a small sky, like a bird in a cage.She didn't want to be guarded anymore.

Strange to say, in front of Prime Minister Xie, she focused on the doubts in her heart, but when she was in front of the Empress Dowager, she concentrated on being on guard.

"I practiced Zuo when I was young, and I still have a lot of things to learn. At that time, the palace will inevitably have ministers coming and going, which may disturb the Queen Mother's peace. It is better to follow the ancestral system and live in Weiyang Palace." Liu Zao said slowly, speaking, while saying Choose your words carefully.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have expected it a long time ago, she got up from the wide couch, and the maids beside her hurriedly stepped forward to serve her.The queen mother waved her hand, motioning her to back away.Gong'e then retreated back into the distance silently.

"But what did the Prime Minister say to His Majesty?" The Queen Mother sat up, but her body was still as if she was lying down, soft as if she had no bones, and her tone was lazy, but what she said hit the point.

How could Liu Zao be the Queen Mother's opponent? What's more, when Prime Minister Xie came, the female official saw it. Even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn't deny it.Liu Zao simply told the truth: "Mr. Xie just told me something I didn't know before."

"Oh," the Queen Mother chuckled, "She was quick to strike, but why did His Majesty believe her?"

Liu Zao was stunned for a moment, yes, why did she believe Xie Xiang.But she didn't show it on her face, she still said calmly: "I grew up outside the palace, and I am not familiar with everything in the court, and I will have to rely on Mr. Xie for assistance in the future."

After she finished speaking, she paid attention to the Queen Mother's expression, and she deduced one thing.The Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Xie are in the same camp, and they both want to establish a new monarch. Now that the new monarch has been established, the alliance between the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Xie may be broken.

"Relying on Prime Minister Xie for assistance? In this way, His Majesty has no doubts about Prime Minister Xie." The queen mother was not angry, she stood up and walked in front of the emperor.

The emperor realized again that the queen mother was still very young, and it was the best time for a woman.Liu Zao didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable, she wanted to back away, but she felt that this would be a sign of weakness, so she had no choice but to stand where she was and let the Queen Mother approach.

The same woman, the queen mother is different from Xie Xiang, she is like a peony, lazy and luxurious, but powerful.

Walking half a step in front of the emperor, the queen mother finally stopped.Liu Zao couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and raised his guard.

"Your Majesty has never thought about it, what is the selfishness of Xie Xiang?"

Liu Zao was taken aback, she never thought about it, she knew the Queen Mother's selfishness, she wanted to turn her into a puppet and take power alone, but she never thought about the selfishness of Xie Xiang.

As soon as this idea came out, Liu Zao felt that something was wrong, and the queen mother's selfishness was not what she saw with her own eyes, but was hinted by Changyi King and Xie Xiang.She suddenly remembered that day, when Hu Ao and Gongsun Chuo told her about the old things of Emperor Wu's reign.The same thing, but two completely different ways of saying it.From then on, Liu Zao knew that what the people in the palace said might not be the truth, sometimes they themselves didn't know they were lying.

So, is what the King of Changyi and Prime Minister Xie said true or false?Is the Queen Mother really going to use her as a puppet?Xie Xiang came here on purpose, implying that she should live in Weiyang Palace, what selfishness does she have?

Empress Dowager Liu Zao's expression changed, she couldn't help but smiled, and continued: "It's not easy to thank her, Your Majesty must not underestimate her. She is only 28 years old, and it is rare in ancient times for her to be in such a young age. Your Majesty Just think about it, does she have any selfish intentions?"

Whether Prime Minister Xie had selfish intentions or not, Liu Zao thought it was, but it wasn't because of the empress dowager's instigation, she had doubts for a long time, but she hadn't decided that's all.

"Everyone always has selfishness. Thank you, the Empress Dowager, and I too." Liu Zao's tone softened, and he remained in Changle Palace without letting go.Since Xie Xiangte came to imply that the queen mother summoned him in person, it can be seen that where the emperor lives, he can say something.

The Empress Dowager originally thought that Liu Zao was just a child who grew up outside the palace and raised a child who was ignorant of worldly affairs. There was a report from the Zhonghuang School earlier, and the emperor's grandson was probably wiser than ordinary people.At that time, she was busy planning to dethrone the King of Changyi, but she didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems that the new king is really precocious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to save her.

"What's your majesty thinking?" the queen mother asked again.

Liu Zao was silent for a moment, and replied: "It takes some time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, so I'm not in a hurry to make a final decision."

The Queen Mother looked at her and shook her head: "It seems that His Majesty is quite determined."

Liu Zao cheered up, ready to deal with the Empress Dowager's next embarrassment.

No, the Empress Dowager suddenly showed a faint look, and waved her hand, signaling her to back down.

Liu Zao was surprised, the female official who sent her here quietly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The queen mother is going to rest."

Liu Zao glanced at the Empress Dowager again, she was already lying on the wide couch, closed her eyes, and stopped looking at her.

This time, the female officer did not send her back to the small palace, but took her to the Palace of Eternal Life.
