Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Upon hearing Ruan Jiqing's words, Qi Junmu directly and selectively ignored Wen Wan and focused on Concubine Xian.

His first thought was that Qi Junyou was suddenly sent out of the palace by himself without even saying hello. It had been so many days, and no news had come out halfway, and Concubine Xian couldn't sit still anymore.

Back then, Emperor Jing's harem was oppressive and peaceful. No one knew what the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian were thinking, but on the surface they were definitely good sisters who loved each other, and they never blushed once.

But to be honest, Concubine Xian's family background is better than that of Empress Dowager, and Qi Junyou is a well-known person. Generally speaking, Concubine Xian was on the same level as Empress Dowager Gao back then.

Emperor Jing was obsessed with elixirs at that time, and the newcomers in the harem were like leeks, which were changed one by one.It's not that no one has asked Emperor Jing to establish a prince to stabilize the country.

The first time Emperor Jing directly dismissed it with some face, and the second time he was directly furious in the court, asking whether all civil and military officials wanted to pass on the title of title before they died?

How could the officials dare to say anything, no one had any hard-to-read scriptures, especially those with titles, which were supposed to be passed on to the eldest son, but there were always things that prevented them from making a choice right away.

So Emperor Jing taunted the officials contemptuously, to the effect that you can't manage the affairs of your own backyard well, and you want to control Lao Tzu's head, which is simply courting death.

Of course, the language is not as straightforward as this, it should be more tactful.

In the end, in order to appease everyone, Emperor Jing promised that if all the officials and titles in the court had handled the family affairs well, then he would establish a prince.If they can't, just keep your tongue out of other people's business.

This is obviously impossible. Knowing that Emperor Jing is lying, the courtiers felt very aggrieved, but no one mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince again.

Everyone in the harem has a steelyard in their hearts. The eldest prince Qi Jun was guilty of feasting on his biological mother, and was deposed as a queen. His mother's family was almost beheaded, and he was also implicated.

If Qi Junyan wants to ascend to the throne of God, he needs strong external support.

Fortunately, even if Qi Junyan is not the eldest son, he still occupies the status of the eldest son of the emperor. If he really supports him, he will be famous.

It can only be seen from the marriage bestowed by the emperor that he has no chance.

The second prince, Qi Junyou, was the courtier's favorite, and he had a great advantage in terms of appearance, character, family background and marriage.

The third prince, Qi Junmu, was considered to be more than the top and the bottom, except for his good looks, there were no outstanding advantages that could be remembered in people's minds.

As for the fourth prince, Qi Junzhuo, with the blood of a foreign race flowing on his body, he wanted to inherit Daqi's throne,

It is impossible to think and know.

Concubine Xian and the Empress Dowager also understood this in their hearts, and the Empress Dowager naturally did not want to lose the wind, but at that time the strength was really inferior to Concubine Xian, and she secretly felt uncomfortable for a long time.

But the queen mother thought clearly, even if she lost the wind, what should be fought is still to be fought.

Qi Junmu was born in the royal family, so if there is no dispute, there is no way out.There is no retreat for the Lin family and for everyone who supports them.

Furthermore, in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, their power is average now, and the future is uncertain.

At that time, no matter the court or the harem, everyone felt that after the death of Emperor Jing, no matter who came to power, there would definitely be a bloody storm.

Emperor Jing was very young, and everyone thought that Emperor Jing would live for a long time, and they still had a long time to prepare.As a result, Emperor Jing died suddenly.

Just as the crowd regained their senses and prepared to gather their troops for a battle, someone brought out the imperial edict of Emperor Jing.It was written in his own handwriting that Qi Junmu would inherit the throne after his death.

No one expected that Emperor Jing would write down the edict and pass on the throne to Qi Junmu explicitly, Qi Junyou's faction was completely stunned by the edict.

In addition, the power behind him was not ready at that time, and when he came back to his senses again, he had already lost the opportunity.Everyone didn't have the courage to break the boat, so they could only take a step back.

In this way, Qi Junmu became the emperor, Concubine Shu naturally became the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Xian could only become the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager began to show off, while Concubine Xian completely kept a low profile.

I don't know if there is a reason for grievance and unwillingness in her heart, Concubine Xian has been avoiding the Queen Mother all the time.

Although the queen mother was unhappy, she is now a winner in life, and she has not humiliated and suppressed her opponents.

Who in this palace does not say that the Queen Mother is magnanimous.

But there are also many people who understand that this is all temporary. Now that Qi Junmu has just ascended the throne, the throne is not yet secure, and there are internal and external troubles. Concubine Xian has managed some forces over the years, and the two have become too rigid. The new emperor is not good .

The Queen Mother is not stupid, just like what Lin Xiao and others analyzed, what is she doing to embarrass Princess Xian at this time.As long as her son is sitting on the dragon chair, Concubine Xian will always be a concubine.

Qi Junmu himself has no feelings for Concubine Xian. If she and Qi Junyou have been honest and do nothing wrong, then he will let them live.

If they still don't give up on the throne, then he won't be relentless.In his previous life, Qi Junmu had been sending people to watch them.

Now because of Qi Junyou, Concubine Xian has gone to the Queen Mother's Palace. From a certain point of view, Concubine Xian bowed her head to the Queen Mother.

But Concubine Xian definitely didn't directly show weakness to the Queen Mother, otherwise the Queen Mother wouldn't have called Wen Wan over to reprimand her, after all he had an oral order to let Wen Wan reflect in the palace.

If it wasn't for the special circumstances and he didn't say anything, the Queen Mother wouldn't have decided to let Wen Wan go to Renshou Palace without authorization.

The current queen mother has not been obsessed with power, and has not let him, the emperor, follow her mind in everything. In many cases, she is still very cautious and willing to tolerate Qi Junmu.

Thinking of this, the emperor ordered Ruan Jiqing to prepare the sedan chair, and he was going to Renshou Palace to see what happened.

Every time he was on his way to Renshou Palace, Qi Junmu would think about how the Empress Dowager and him would turn against each other in the previous life.

Obviously before he became the emperor, although the queen mother was strict with him, the love between mother and child was there.

He thought he was quite filial, and he didn't care about small things to the Queen Mother, and he didn't give in to big things.Why did the Queen Mother become more and more dissatisfied with him, more and more greedy, and more and more dissatisfied.

This matter is a thorn in Qi Junmu's heart, and it is also the reason why he is not close to the Queen Mother now.

When we arrived at Renshou Palace, we saw all the palace people kneeling outside the main hall, including Ruyan, the most eye-catching maid beside the Empress Dowager, their expressions were all solemn and terrified.

It can be seen how strong the Queen Mother's anger is.

Qi Junmu slowly raised his eyebrows amid the sound of everyone bowing down.

As he approached the hall, he immediately saw Wen Wan kneeling on the ground, the furious Queen Dowager sitting on the imperial concubine chair, and Xian Dowager Concubine sitting next to the Queen Mother with a complicated and slightly calm expression.

After Qi Junmu stepped forward to say hello, he said, "What happened? Why is the queen mother so angry?"

The queen mother thought he came because of his gentleness, she snorted coldly and lowered her eyelids and said angrily: "Every time the queen does something wrong, the emperor comes very quickly."

The emperor came to protect Wen Wan, not only the Empress Dowager thought so, but both Concubine Xian and Wen Wan herself thought so.

Qi Junmu's face was light: "The queen mother is serious. If the queen makes a mistake, the child will never cover up, but the child must first know what happened. That's why the queen mother is so angry."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt a little better, and said to Concubine Xian, who was beside her, with a slightly stronger tone: "Concubine Xian, come and tell the emperor what happened."

Concubine Xian stood up with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Your Majesty, I also discovered this incident by accident. Someone actually brought something private into the palace. It's fine if you put it in your room so that no one else can see it. The key is that I picked up these things on the only way to the palace of the former emperor's bereaved concubines. I don't know if any of them were left outside, and those who want to do these things really have ulterior motives."

After saying this, Concubine Xian pointed to a few thin books that were thrown under the sandalwood table not far away by the Queen Mother.

The book cover said Confucius and Mencius, Ruan Jiqing hurriedly picked it up, but when the thing was thrown on the ground, some pages had already been opened, and with a quick glance, he understood what book was inside.

Wrapped in the skin of Confucius and Mencius, there are indeed some vivid atlases, and they are not afraid of polluting the saints.

Ruan Jiqing blushed after just one glance, and didn't dare to put the things up directly while holding the things.He was afraid that if he showed it to the emperor, the emperor would directly blind him.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said: "They are all pickled things, unsightly, the emperor should not look at them, so as not to stain the eyes."

From Concubine Xian's tone and everyone's uncomfortable expressions, Qi Junmu vaguely guessed that those things were nothing more than some erotic pictures to avoid fire.

He has not yet learned about human affairs in his two lifetimes. At first he dared not, and later he had no chance.

However, this does not prevent him from making various analysis through this matter.

These things are just like Concubine Xian said, if they are put in the bottom of the box at home, no one can say anything.

But this thing was discovered on the way to the palace of Emperor Jing's concubines, and there is more than one copy, so the intention is much more vicious.

There are many beauties in Emperor Jing's harem, and naturally there are also many young and beautiful ones.

Emperor Jing passed away suddenly without leaving a last word. At first, some courtiers suggested that several young and beautiful concubines should be buried so that Emperor Jing would not be lonely below.

However, this matter was vetoed by Qi Junmu. Emperor Jing once said that when he died, he would be buried in his own tomb to avoid crowding and panic.

Emperor Jing's concubines were gathered together by Qi Junmu and placed in a relatively remote palace, separated from the current concubines.

But there are always young and beautiful people who are not reconciled. After all, there have been cases where the emperor has taken a fancy to the dead emperor's concubine before.

Maybe they didn't have such concerns at first, but after seeing these erotic pictures too much, they couldn't help but feel strange.

No one wants to be alone in the palace at a young age.

If it's a concubine or a concubine, it's fine. I'm most afraid of being nothing. I'm not even as good as a palace maid.

It's better to give it a go and take the opportunity to hook up with the new emperor. If someone finds out about it, it's a romantic affair of the emperor. Maybe you can continue to be rich and prosperous.

But in the worst case, this matter will be used by people with ulterior motives, and then it will become the emperor peeping at his father and wife, and then it will become the new emperor when he is the prince. Maybe it has something to do with the new emperor.

At that time, disputes and other incidents will inevitably arise, and there will be divergent opinions. It is not certain that the new emperor, whose foundation is unstable, will be ousted from power.

Qi Junmu thought that in his previous life there really was a concubine of Emperor Jing who wanted to seduce him, but fortunately he is not a person who is easily fascinated by beauty.

At that time, the incident had not yet surfaced, so he ordered the man to be killed directly, and the concubines and concubines were quieted down because of this.

At that time, he still wondered how such a thing happened, but now that he thinks about it now, there must be someone behind the incident, the purpose is to keep his handle so that he can use it for others in the future.

Qi Junmu's mind raced, and he figured out the twists and turns inside in a blink of an eye.

Then there are two questions in front of you. Did Concubine Xian ask someone to do this, or did she accidentally discover it but kept silent and waited to see his jokes, or she still wanted to use these things to wait for Qi Junyou? A chance to get ahead.

Presumably Concubine Xian discovered this kind of thing by accident, otherwise she would not dare to use this thing as a favor now.

In this life, he sent Qi Junyou out of Beijing without even saying hello to anyone, so he didn't find out any news about these Tianxian concubines.

She was afraid that something would happen to Qi Junyou, so she used these things to show weakness to the Queen Mother to please the Queen Mother, second, to inquire about Qi Junyou's news, and third, to indirectly show that King Ping's lineage had surrendered to the new emperor.

It can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Especially the last one, which was exactly what Qi Junmu wanted at the beginning, even if it was fake for the time being, he would thank Concubine Xian on the face.

It's a pity that Qi Junmu will not be grateful to anyone now, especially to those who want to plot against him.

At this time, Wen Wan opened her mouth, and she said firmly: "This is all the concubine's fault. It is the concubine's ineffective management of the harem. The queen mother must not be angry because of this."

She only said that it was her dereliction of duty as a queen, and she never mentioned that Qi Junmu made her think about it behind closed doors.It gave the empress dowager enough face, and also protected the emperor's face.

It's just that the words are so, they all understand in their hearts, and she also knows that she has thought about the Queen Mother behind closed doors, and now the Queen Mother is putting all the blame on Wen Wan, which seems a bit too deliberate for Wen Wan.

If Qi Junmu used to be, he would be delighted that Wen Wan was thinking of himself everywhere, and didn't want to embarrass himself. At this moment, he just finds it funny.Is it interesting for Wen Wan to do this? What does she want to do?

Seeking perfection after being wronged, or reluctant to part with the glory and wealth of being a queen?

"The empress, the empress is weak, and she doesn't have the time and energy to deal with the affairs of the sixth palace. Since this matter has come out, I think it's better for the empress to come forward in person." Qi Junmu said leisurely, thinking about those messy things in his heart.

What he said was equivalent to directly depriving the empress of the right to deal with matters in the sixth house.

Concubine Xian raised her delicate eyebrows in surprise, her eyes scanned back and forth on the empress dowager and the empress, and after thinking of something, she quickly retracted the look in her eyes.

The queen mother was ready to welcome the emperor's protection of Wen Wan, but after hearing what the emperor said, she also froze for a moment.

Then he felt that Qi Junmu didn't want Wen Wan to deal with this matter, probably because the matter was too dirty.

And Wen Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered her head and said nothing, and no one could clearly see the expression on her face.

After Qi Junmu said this, he turned his attention to Concubine Xian, and asked slowly: "Concubine Tai came to Queen Mother today, but does she want to know about Second Brother?"

This is natural, Concubine Xian thought to herself, but she didn't expect Qi Junmu to speak directly, and she didn't reply for a while.

She forced a smile and said: "King Ping is working for the emperor, as long as he is safe, it doesn't matter if I know his news or not."

Qi Junmu smiled, with a deep smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes, he said: "Second brother said before leaving that the concubine is devoted to the Buddha and doesn't pay attention to the news outside the palace. Now it seems that the concubine knows It's very clear. I can't even tell if the second brother is safe or not, but the concubine can be so sure, which shows that she is very well-informed."

People were not used to the emperor's eccentric look, and the queen mother didn't understand what he wanted to do, but she didn't say anything in front of the concubine Xian.

"The emperor's words..." The smile on Concubine Xian's face was a little stiff.

Qi Junmu raised his hand to interrupt what she was going to say: "What I mean is that whether the second brother can return to Beijing safely depends on how his errands are done. If the matter in Qingzhou is resolved smoothly, then others must be safe. If Qingzhou If the matter is not resolved well, I'm sorry, he will definitely not be safe."

"I have a deep brotherhood with my second brother, and I know that punishing my second brother is easy to offend, but I am also the emperor of Daqi, and I am not afraid of being criticized. When my father was alive, there was only one Brother, isn't this throne also securely seated?"

The implication is that if something happened in Qingzhou, Qi Junyou will stay there and not come back.

Concubine Xian's body swayed and her face changed drastically. Qi Junmu smiled at her leisurely, with a very kind expression.

His words were a threat, but he just wanted to teach Concubine Xian a lesson, because of what she concealed, and because she wanted to plot her own thoughts.

Any person or thing that doesn't make him feel comfortable is more uncomfortable than him.

"Your Majesty." The Empress Dowager didn't expect to deal with those unsightly books and the filth of the harem, so the topic would be related to the life and death of King Ping.

Moreover, the emperor's words became more and more chaotic, and he even wanted to go to the side of nonsense.

She also disliked Concubine Xian and disliked Qi Junyou very much, but no matter what, even if the emperor wanted to kill Qi Junyou immediately in his heart, he shouldn't say it so openly.

Isn't this down to earth?

In case Qi Junyou really doesn't have any thoughts about the throne, Qi Junmu's words won't raise his heart.

None of the people living in this world wants to die.In order to live, facing such an emperor, Qi Junyou had to give birth to a second heart.

So the Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "Concubine Xian, Prince Ping went to Beijing to handle business. It is because the emperor values ​​his siblings and trusts him. The journey is far away, and the emperor sent the imperial guards to follow him. Naturally, he wants to protect him." For King Ping, Concubine Xian should not worry too much. When King Ping returns to Beijing after making great achievements, the emperor will definitely reward him."

The emperor threatened Princess Wanxian, and the queen mother hurriedly gave her a jujube.

The two of them, mother and son, are here, one playing the red face and the other playing the bad face. This scene is sung perfectly.

It's a pity that Qi Junmu didn't want to cooperate at all in this scene, and Concubine Xian wanted to see his jokes, so she had to become a joke first.

The emperor looked at the queen mother slowly and said in a low voice: "Queen mother, what I mean is that although I am not as wise as my father, I can do what my father can do. As the saying goes, you are not joking, I must Concubine Xian and Second Brother also understand in their hearts."

Empress Dowager: "..."

She looked at the emperor strangely, and felt that he was very strange.

The Queen Mother wondered if it was because Qi Junmu's heat from the past few days had not subsided completely, so that his mind was not working properly.
