The inner east gate is a small hall.
Liu E was sitting alone on the chair. The servants and palace people around her had been sent away by her. She was now in a very depressed mood.
There was Lu Zongdao in the front and Yan Shu in the back.
Although Yan Shu did not express his position in particular, his sentence "What do the officials think should be done" already fully revealed his mentality!
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
There is no doubt that Yan Shu is happy to see the official family grow.
"Mother, uncle Guo has arrived."
At this time, Lin's voice came from the outer hall.
"Xuan."
Immediately afterwards, an old man in his fifties with slightly gray hair walked in from the door.
Although this man's hair is already gray, his complexion is extremely rosy, and he walks with a mighty look, carrying an aura of his own.
Based on the man's current momentum, no one would have imagined that decades ago, this man was still a precarious silversmith.
It is nothing more than this, to live in the moving Qi and nourish the moving body.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, urgently invites me into the palace today, but what happened in the palace?"
Liu Mei's face was very anxious. As soon as she stepped into the palace, she asked hurriedly.
He couldn't help but be in a hurry!
His ability to go from being a poor man to what he is today is all thanks to the Queen Mother, or rather his ex-wife.
Without the Queen Mother, he is nothing.
"Nothing, I just want to talk to someone of my own."
After sitting for a long time, Liu E suddenly felt that there were some things that were inappropriate to tell Liu Mei.
Although Liu Mei is now in a high and powerful position, his foundation is too poor, and he is not the kind of person who studies and makes progress.
If I tell him something, I'm afraid it will get out of hand.
Liu E was worried that he would do something arrogant if he knew the situation.
People are unpredictable.
Even she herself would have thoughts that she shouldn't have and change places. If it were Liu Mei, she would probably think even more.
Therefore, Liu E decided to bear these pains silently by herself.
She has also reached the point where she calls herself a loner.
"As long as it's okay."
Upon hearing that something had happened in the palace, Liu Mei instantly relaxed a lot, and then sat directly on the chair at the bottom.
At this moment, there was no one else around, and Liu Mei's attitude seemed very casual. After all, his relationship with Liu E was extraordinary, and there was no need to go through all the red tape in private.
Too troublesome.
Liu E didn't say anything when she saw Liu Mei's behavior. She had long been accustomed to it.
After a while, Liu E casually found a topic.
"How is Yuanzhi these days? Are you still adaptable to official duties?"
The "Yuanzhi" in Liu E's mouth refers to Ma Jiliang, the chief minister of Guanglu Temple. He was originally from Kaifeng and later married Liu Mei's daughter.
Not long ago, Ma Jiliang was promoted and transferred to Guanglu Temple Cheng. (At this time, he was a postal officer)
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mei instantly realized something was wrong.
Ma Jiliang had just moved up the ranks and was still waiting at home. It was impossible for the Queen Mother not to know about this situation.
"Your Majesty, is there really something going on in the palace?"
Hearing this, Liu E reacted instantly. She made a mistake.
Seeing Liu E stunned, Liu Mei became more sure of her guess and asked.
"Empress, is there anything we can't say between you and me?"
"well."
Having said this, Liu E sighed, but still couldn't hold it back, and told Liu Mei her troubles intermittently.
Indeed, once the late emperor died, Liu Mei had the closest relationship with her.
Others might harm her, but Liu Mei certainly wouldn't.
The two are one, the one prospers and both prosper, the one suffers and both suffer.
After listening to Liu E's story, a cold light flashed in Liu Mei's eyes.
The official family seems to have the appearance of a wise king. Such an official family is obviously good news for the Song Dynasty.
But for him, it’s definitely not a good thing!
The same goes for the Queen Mother.
If the officials were pro-government, would they still have the power they have today?
I'm afraid it's impossible!
After all, he is just the eldest brother of the Queen Mother...
wrong.
If the official is in charge and has great power, it will not be difficult for the official to know the true identity of him and the Queen Mother.
By then, who knows what the officials will think?
One is not her biological mother, and the other is the adoptive mother's ex-husband, and the adoptive mother also vigorously promotes her ex-husband.
Who knows what the officials will think!
Although Liu Mei knew that the relationship between him and the Queen Mother was innocent, he himself did not act arbitrarily.
But the human heart is fearful.
What if there is a misunderstanding?
Suddenly, Liu Mei thought of someone.
King Zhao Yuanyan of Jing.
To be precise, it was Zhao Yunchu, the youngest son of Zhao Yuanyan.
Zhao Yunchu is about the same age as the official. Although he is two or three years younger, he is still very similar.
It just so happens that the official family is still in its infancy. If Zhao Yunchu is taken to the palace, he will be raised first in the name of companion.
When the time comes, if the officials still do not understand current affairs, it is better to imitate the Han and Tang Dynasties.
certainly.
Liu Mei also knew that Liu E was afraid that she would not be able to be cruel.
Therefore, he cannot reveal his true intentions for the time being, and must be tempted.
"My dear, the official is young and is very active and thoughtful. Why not find a reading companion for the official to distract the official's attention?"
Hearing this, Liu E's heart suddenly moved.
This method is preferable.
Anyway, it doesn’t take much effort to give it a try.
"Brother, do you already have a candidate in mind?"
Liu Mei smiled slightly: "Yunchu, the son of King Jing, is about the same age as the official family. He has an honest and honest personality and is related by blood. What do you think, the empress?"
"Yunchu?"
Liu E muttered something in a low voice, this suggestion was quite appropriate.
"Yes, Yunchu is indeed the best candidate."
"Forest……"
On the other side, seeing Liu E preparing to recruit Lin, Liu Mei quickly stopped her.
"My dear, wait a minute."
Liu E glanced at Liu Mei with confusion, and upon seeing this, Liu Mei explained.
"Actually, I have another suggestion. Why don't the empress adopt Yunchu in a prison and mourn for the prince? We have to guard against it."
As soon as these words came out, Liu E took a deep look at Liu Mei.
Obviously, she heard the implication of Liu Mei's words.
It's exactly what you're afraid of, what's coming.
As expected, Liu Mei had thoughts that she shouldn't have.
However, Liu E somehow did not scold the other party directly, nor did she directly reject Liu Mei's proposal.
Instead, he thought of adopting Zhao Yunchu.
However, adoption is not something she can decide on her own.
Such important matters must be discussed with the ministers of the two governments.
After a long while, Liu E held her forehead and said with a tired look.
"I'm a little tired."
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Liu Mei said goodbye very discerningly. He said everything that should be said and what should not be said.
As for what the Queen Mother will do in the future, it is not for him to say.
When she was about to leave the palace city, Liu Mei turned back and glanced at the Daqing Palace in the distance, and then walked out of the palace city without looking back.
Bao Ci Hall.
After returning to the palace, Liu E thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind.
Do you want to adopt Zhao Yunchu?
This was not something she could do just by thinking about it.
