The whole world is waiting for my deposed empress

Qin Palace and Heyang Hall.

Qin Ran handed Huaiyuan's pulse case for the past few days to Ming Feiqing.

Ming Feiqing took the pulse case and looked through it carefully.

Qin Ran said: "His Royal Highness will be fine after the fever subsides. In fact, it's just an ordinary skin wound, which has scabbed over the past two days. You don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty."

"I was out of breath that day, and it didn't matter what I did." Ming Feiqing blamed himself, "A five-year-old child can understand what is right and wrong, but I am too harsh."

Qin Rankai explained: "Father teaches his son what is right and proper, why should he be harsh? The prince is blessed to have a father like you to teach him."

Ming Feiqing smiled lightly: "There is no need to say such flattering words."

Qin Ran said sincerely: "Everything I say is sincere."

Ming Feiqing closed the pulse case, and sighed: "The Empress Dowager blamed me for beating Huai Yuan and refused to let me see the child, so I can only trouble you to make this trip. Seeing that he is recovering well now, I feel relieved." , I just saw that there are several bitter medicines in the prescription... Xichun, go and get some milky jade dew balls and send them to the East Palace, Ah Yuan will like it."

Xichun responded with a smile, and exited Heyang Hall.

Hearing this, Qin Ran couldn't help but said: "My minister dares to speak nonsense, the Empress Dowager shouldn't let you go to the East Palace."

Ming Feiqing is now the highest authority in Xiqin, just like a deputy emperor.

He can mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the border at will, and he doesn't have to make concessions to a Shoukang Palace.

"The empress dowager loves you deeply, I can understand." Ming Feiqing flipped through the memorial and said in a low voice, "But spoiling A Yuan too much will only ruin A Yuan. Discipline."

At this time Tianqing came in and said: "Your Majesty, Generals Wen Heng and Wen An are outside the hall to ask for an audience."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran consciously took the pulse case and resigned.

The recent trip to the north has been uneven, and Ming Feiqing had to spend some time on the northern border.

Dispatch of troops is a confidential matter, and the Tiger Talisman must be used. Ming Feiqing took out the Tiger Talisman engraved with gold inscriptions from the bookcase and put it together with the jade seal.

After the Wen family brothers entered the palace, Tian Qing consciously went to close the doors and windows.

The wind in the Heyang Hall could not fly out.

East Palace.

Xichun waited outside for nearly half an hour with a box of soufflé cakes, and Qi Shun, who was beside the queen mother, came out to take the dessert.

Xichun wanted to take a look at the prince by the way, but Qi Shun raised his hand to stop her: "Your Highness has already slept, it is inconvenient for Aunt Xichun to go in."

Qi Shun is an old man in the palace, Xi Chun wanted to respect him a bit, so he asked politely: "Is it okay for me to take a look at His Highness on behalf of the Queen?"

Qi Shun: "Even if the Empress Dowager came, the Empress Dowager would not let him enter the East Palace."

Xichun: "..."

She restrained herself from talking back, and turned around to lead the person away.

The two little maids couldn't stand it anymore, and when they walked away, they muttered in a low voice: "Does the Queen Mother take herself too seriously?"

Another court lady said: "When the first emperor was still there, Shoukang Palace was a man with its tail clamped. Now...they just bully the queen and have a good temper!"

Xichun turned her head and said in a low voice, "Speak carefully."

In fact, she couldn't be more angry in her heart. Now that the queen can be the master of the entire Xiqin, why can't she take half a step into the East Palace?

If the first emperor was here, the queen mother would not even dare to leave the Shoukang Palace!

Even though she had thousands of reasons, she didn't distinguish them in front of Qi Shun, she was afraid of causing trouble for Ming Feiqing.

The government is pressing down on Ming Feiqing like a mountain, Xichun doesn't want to add to the chaos, she always endures as long as she can.

Qi Shun sent the milk crisp jade dew ball into the inner hall of the East Palace.

Huai Yuan's fever has subsided, and he can sit and drink medicine.

When Qi Shun entered the palace, Huai Yuan was grinning from the pain of the medicine. At this moment, he saw the milky jade dew ball held by the eunuch, his eyes lit up as if he was saved immediately, and he jumped out of bed to grab the sweet cake to eat.

The queen mother put down the medicine bowl and said anxiously: "Slow down! Little ancestor!"

Huaiyuan picked up a Yulu ball that was full of milk fragrance, and couldn't wait to take a bite. The sweetness of the milk dispelled the bitterness of the medicine, and he ate one after another.

Seeing that he liked him, the Queen Mother was also happy, and asked Qi Shun: "Who has this thought?"

Without waiting for the eunuch to answer, Huai Yuan hurriedly said: "It must be Father! Father knows that Yuan'er loves this the most!"

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded, but she still smiled: "He should treat you well."

Huaiyuan ate deliciously, and ran over to put on his shoes again. Seeing his hurry, the Empress Dowager asked him what he was going to do.

Huai Yuan said in a milky voice: "Yuan'er's ignorance made father angry, Yuan'er is going to apologize to father!"

When the queen mother heard this, she hugged Huai Yuan: "Ah Yuan, you will be the emperor above ten thousand people in the future, the emperor will not make mistakes, you don't need to apologize to anyone, even your father, he is not qualified to listen to you Do you understand the three words 'I'm sorry'?"

Huai Yuan said innocently: "But father taught me, knowing the mistakes can make things better...there is nothing better than that."

Queen Mother: "Why are you wrong? Besides, he has already punished you, so you don't have to admit your mistakes."

Huai Yuan ignorantly listened to the teaching of the imperial grandmother, and nodded with a vague understanding.

Seeing that he was willing to listen to her teachings, the queen mother felt satisfied, and then thought about the third prince, she glanced at Qi Shun.

Qi Shun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The northern border is not stable, troops have been dispatched these days, and the Tiger Talisman is also placed in the Heyang Hall."

He lowered his voice very low, "As long as the crown prince goes to the queen's side to have a look...you can get twice the result with half the effort."

The Tiger Talisman and the Jade Seal cannot be easily shown to others. Those who can enter the Heyang Hall to discuss matters are all the confidantes Huaijin left to Ming Feiqing, and they are loyal to the Empress Ming. He could only pin all his hopes on Huai Yuan.

She hugged Huai Yuan into her arms and said: "Since he took the jade dew ball to make amends to you, Mr. A Yuan has a lot, just forgive your father. Didn't you say that you want to visit him? Now grandma allows you to go. "

Huai Yuan looked joyful, wishing to fly to his father with his wings, but was grabbed by the queen mother: "A Yuan, your father has a small black tiger and a jade dragon in his hand, have you seen it?"

Huai Yuan tried hard to think back, and replied naively: "I didn't see the little tiger, but the little dragon was kept by my father's hand all the time, and my father said that was called..." He paused, then remembered, "That's called Yuxi! It's very powerful Great stuff!"

The queen mother nodded: "Yes, but the one more powerful than Yuxi is a little tiger."

Yuxi can only issue administrative orders, but Tiger Talisman can command the armed forces.

If the Twelve Eastern Cities are to be released to the third prince, the fake imperial decree must be stamped with the Tiger Seal.

The queen mother made up a lie to coax Huaiyuan, saying: "These two things are very important. Grandmother is afraid that your father will take care of everything and lose them."

Huai Yuan was frightened: "Then what should I do! My father will be anxious if I lose something!"

The queen mother took advantage of the situation and said: "Grandma can take care of him. A Yuan just needs to tell grandma where these two things are placed."

Huai Yuan: "Ah Yuan, go ask your father?"

The queen mother said seriously: "You can't ask! You have to pay attention quietly."

Huai Yuan nodded with half understanding.

Inside the Heyang Hall.

Ming Feiqing is discussing with Wen Heng about the rebellion in the Northern Tour.

Wen Heng: "The twelve tribes of Beiyou are caught in a melee, which may affect the northern border at any time. The people in the six cities bordering Beiyou are in trouble day and night."

Ming Feiqing frowned: "Northern tours have always been restless. When Huaijin is around, he can be a bit intimidating. The so-called internal melee, An Zhi, is not a lie. Maybe one day he will use the excuse of melee to attack our country's border towns."

Wen Heng said sadly: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The northern tour is a grassland tribe. Everyone can ride horses and shoot arrows. When necessary, the whole people will be soldiers. If they really move their minds about the border, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a hundred thousand troops on the border. .”

Ming Feiqing wrote down the imperial decree for troop deployment: "Allow another 20 troops to guard Beidi, and Wen'an will lead the troops."

Wen An was flattered, and immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Wen Heng thought about another level: "If these 20 elites go to the north, the guards around the imperial city will be weakened by half. ?”

The commander-in-chief of the 20 troops in the south is Xiqin's strongest general Song Bai, but the southern country has been very peaceful in the past three years.You can swap Wen An and Song Bai.

Ming Feiqing directly refuted it back: "No, neither 20 in the south nor Song Bai can be transferred."

The 20 is reserved for Huaijin. One day the two countries will merge, and Xiqin must have a supporting army.

Song Bai was one of the few people who knew that the ruler of the Southern Kingdom was Huai Jin.

Unless the imperial city is in danger, he must not be transferred easily.

After Ming Feiqing finished writing the imperial edict, he picked up the jade seal and stamped it on the lower right corner: "When Huaijin was arranging troops, the imperial city was already placed in the center. , as long as there is no imperial edict, no rebel army has the ability to attack the imperial city."

The layout of Xiqin's troops is like a gossip map. The troops of the twelve cities in the east, west, north, south, and north radiate in all directions of the imperial city. The imperial city is in the center of protection.

But this is absolutely impossible. The only one that can pose a real threat to Xiqin is the Southern Kingdom. Now that the Southern Kingdom is in a truce, although the Northern Tourists are a hidden danger, they are not qualified to be regarded as opponents.

Even if the army's squadron returns to the court, they must have the imperial decree as a certificate, and the twelve cities can be released.The army that forcibly returns to Beijing without being called can be directly punished as a rebel army.

The Huaijin people were not by Ming Feiqing's side, but they left Ming Feiqing with an impregnable Xiqin in advance.

Wen Heng knew that the defenders of the Twelve Cities were all trustworthy people: "The late emperor was very considerate, it's my humble officials who worry about nothing."

Ming Feiqing was about to pick up the tiger talisman, when there was a sudden movement outside the hall, he subconsciously wanted to hide the tiger talisman in the drawer, but it was Huai Yuan who pushed the door and came in.

A small person timidly looked at Ming Feiqing through the crack of the door.

Ming Feiqing relaxed, put the Tiger Talisman on the table, and raised his hand to stop Tian Qing who was about to stop him outside the hall.

He personally went over to open the palace gate for Huai Yuan.

Huai Yuan stood outside the hall, not daring to step in.

He asked awkwardly: "Father still... still like A Yuan?"

Ming Feiqing grabbed A Yuan's hand and looked at it carefully, seeing that the scab on the top was fine, he felt relieved, he patted Huai Yuan's head: "Silly boy, why doesn't Father like you?"

With tears in his eyes, Huai Yuan threw himself into Ming Feiqing's arms and rubbed against his shoulder without saying a word.

Ming Feiqing hugged him, and said softly: "That day was because the father was not good, and he hit hard."

Huai Yuan shook his head while weeping: "...I know I was wrong."

Even if great-grandmother said that he was not wrong, Huai Yuan would know that he was wrong as soon as he saw Ming Feiqing.

How could he make such a good father angry?

Seeing this scene, the two brothers of the Wen family in the hall laughed without saying a word, and did not make a sound to disturb them.

After coaxing for a while, Huai Yuan finally stopped crying.

He said very sensiblely: "My son will not bother my father anymore."

Seeing that his eyes were red from crying, Ming Feiqing was really distressed, and then remembered what the Queen Mother said that day, so she grabbed Huaiyuan and said, "It's okay, one day you will have to deal with these state affairs alone, now it's okay to listen to it by your father's side." benefit."

He led Huai Yuan to the desk, and Tian Qing moved a small chair for Huai Yuan to sit on.

Huai Yuan was sitting next to Ming Feiqing, listening to them discuss state affairs and military in a daze.

Although he couldn't understand everything, he listened carefully.

He probably knew that a country called Beiyou was causing trouble for his father, so he secretly made up his mind that when he grew up, he would beat Beiyou on the ground, and arrest the king of the Beiyou tribe and kowtow in front of his father to make amends!

Unknowingly, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled into Heyang Hall.

Ming Feiqing gave Wen Heng and Wen An the two military edicts stamped with the Tiger Talisman seal. After the two left the palace, Ming Feiqing did not shy away from Huaiyuan, and put the Tiger Talisman and the Jade Seal in the hidden compartment of the bookshelf respectively. middle.

Huai Yuan remembered what his great-grandmother said, and deliberately paid attention to it.

Ming Feiqing took Huai Yuan by the hand, and led him on the corridor outside Heyang Hall: "Father will accompany you to dinner tonight."

Huai Yuan happily leaned over and kissed his father on the cheek, he could see the tiredness on Ming Feiqing's face.

He very much hoped to share his father's worries.

So that night, I told the empress dowager the location of the jade seal and the tiger talisman, hoping that the empress dowager could take good care of the little dragon and the little tiger for my father.

Six days later, an imperial decree spread to the twelve eastern cities, ordering the guards to let the third prince go.

Although the defenders of the city didn't know why the Empress suddenly spared the third prince, the jade seal and tiger talisman on the imperial decree were absolutely true.

So the twelve checkpoints were opened for the third prince Huaiqi.

Huaiqi led an army of [-] to the imperial city unimpeded.

Most of the soldiers under the silver armor had rough barbarian appearance.

Huai Qi looked at the imperial city which was close at hand, his eyes were dim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's been five years since my father passed away and I haven't been able to return to Beijing to see him off."

He pinched the fake imperial decree imitating Ming Feiqing's handwriting in his hand, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and laughed evilly:

"The emperor's brother's country and his first wife are all in the king's pocket."
