Lao Jiang and Wang Hezheng sighed a few words softly, and then found Song Yu who was following him but was hesitant to speak.
Looking at each other silently, Lao Jiang, who was well aware of the relationship between Song Yu, Liu Mingzhi and his father, smiled knowingly, found an excuse, and walked away.
"Uncle, is there anything you want to teach your children?"
Song Yu looked at Liu Mingzhi's relaxed and stress-free look and sighed softly.
"What to teach, Lao Jiang and the two of them have already said what needs to be said. If I say it again, it will just be the same thing, rehashing old things.
You have handed over the power of auxiliary government. What will the old man change if he keeps scolding you?
What did you say you thought? You're not a fool. Don't you know that not only did you lose the power in your hands, but you also had the right and left prime ministers and the censors in the capital to turn against each other?
The three old foxes had been fighting with His Majesty for a long time over whether to hand over power or not.
Now, once you come, all their efforts will be in vain.
Can I not resent you?
The prime minister and assistant minister may be harboring some bad ideas to stumble you!
————
Forget it, I won't complain anymore.
Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it! "
"Yes, uncle is right."
Song Yu glared at Liu Mingzhi who was flattering him angrily, knocked around, and got closer to Liu Mingzhi to suppress his voice.
"Your eldest brother has written to me about the military parade in Northern Xinjiang.
I'm afraid that that military parade has caused His Majesty to become alienated from you.
Although I should not say these things as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, but who made you, a little bastard, half of my son?
Although His Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, his ambition is no less than that of his grandfather Ruizong.
If you want to achieve great things for a long time, you are definitely the biggest stumbling block to His Majesty.
Don't act too showy in the future.
When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits are dead, the running dogs are cooked; when the enemy's country is destroyed, the advisers are dead; when the world is settled, the heroes are destroyed.
This has happened in all dynasties, and I don’t want to see you end up like this.
Although your move to hand over power today is unreasonable, it is extremely wise.
You are different from Wei Yong and us, you are still young.
The thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. I hope you can bear with me and keep the great foundation you have created. "
"Uncle, don't worry, the child will definitely remember..."
"Your Majesty, please stay. The Queen Mother has invited you."
Liu Mingzhi, Song Qing and others paused in their steps and looked at each other.
Song Yu gave Young Master Liu a look that suggested he could act accordingly, broke away from the force team, and rushed straight out of the palace.
"Manager Qian, long time no see. How are you?"
Qian Lu, the old man next to the Empress Dowager Nangong Meng, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with us. Judging from the high energy of Your Majesty, I guess he must be strong and powerful.
We admire. "
"Manager Qian is so complimentary. Let's stop talking and complimenting each other. My mother has invited us, so we can't delay. Let's go."
"Yes, yes, what the prince said is that when we saw the prince, we almost forgot all the business. Please, the prince, I will guide you."
"Manager Qian, there is no need to be polite. Please come along."
The two of them walked towards the harem talking and laughing.
Liu Mingzhi also began to make innuendoes about money, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Manager Qian, how is your mother's body doing well recently? I have been guarding the border all year round and cannot serve my mother. I think I am deeply saddened.
It is a pity that there are so many things in Northern Xinjiang that the king actually neglected to ask the three princesses to return to the capital to visit their mother and queen during their free time. "
"Oh, Your Majesty, let me dare to say something that shouldn't be said. Ruizhong has only been in power for a few years. When Ruizhong was alive, he was so loving to the Empress Dowager.
The people around me will disappear if they say they are gone. How can the Empress Dowager be in a good mood?
The imperial doctor who serves the Queen Mother has told us more than once that diseases arise from the heart.
Your Majesty, she misses Ruizhong and has many thoughts on her mind. How can this phoenix body be comfortable?
Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing in the palace, all food and clothing are provided by palace maids and eunuchs.
But no matter how powerful the palace maid and eunuch are, they can't cure the empress's worries. The Empress Dowager's phoenix body is getting worse than before.
Although Prince Qing and Prince Yun visited the palace from time to time to pay their respects, the empress might not be able to let go of the late emperor's affairs so easily.
Fortunately, your majesty's next generation is a genius and has the same demeanor as Ruizhong when he was alive. Finally, the empress has some hope. "
"Oh, what Mr. Qian said is true. It's just that the moon waxes and wanes, and people have their fortunes and misfortunes. Some things are determined by God and cannot be stopped by our human power.
Manager Qian has served my mother for many years. I hope you will work hard and enlighten your mother.
If you need any help, just ask and I will do my best to help. "
"You don't need to be told by the prince, we will do our best to take care of your queen's body.
To put it bluntly, we poor rootless people all have to rely on our masters. Only by serving them well can we enjoy the rest of our lives. "
"Manager Qian is very clear-sighted.
Is the Queen Mother's body healthy? "
"Ankang is ankang, but his life is not very satisfactory."
"How could it be unsatisfactory? Even though there is a Queen Mother above the Queen Mother, she is His Majesty's biological mother after all!"
"Although we have lived in the harem for a long time, we have heard about the prince's character. You are the consort of the third princess. We have watched the third princess grow up, and we will not treat the prince as an outsider and talk to you from the bottom of our hearts.
But it's a bit disrespectful.
The late Emperor unfortunately died young, and the Queen Mother is only thirty-five years old this year.
She became a widow at such a young age.
There are fine clothes and fine food, but this..., in the final analysis, isn't it also lonely! Even if we don’t tell you what happens next, the prince will understand.
All I can say is that it’s not easy.
Those who don't know think that life in the palace is so good. We have experienced it deeply in this life.
In the next life, we would rather be reborn as a beast than be an eunuch who is neither male nor female.
I don't even want to work as an errand in the palace. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully: "Manager Qian said yes, in life, only you know your own suffering.
The empress dowager has a noble status, unlike the widows among the common people, who can remarry when they meet a loved one and report it to the government.
Forget it, I am a foreign minister and a relative, so I won’t talk about this.
No matter how busy your Majesty is with government affairs, you still have time to spend with your ancestors and mother, right?
It is better to have your majesty, your grandson and son, to accompany the two of them to relieve their boredom than to be alone in the palace garden. "
Qian Lu looked around and moved towards Young Master Liu.
"My lord, I don't know. Although your majesty often spends time with the two ladies to relieve their boredom, he spends most of his time with another woman.
Because this woman, His Majesty, had a quarrel with the Emperor and the Queen.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not argue with His Majesty, and the matter was settled only after taking a step back. "
"Oh? What kind of woman can actually make His Majesty and the Queen Mother quarrel over her?"
"A girl who is 70% similar to Ren Qingrui, Queen of Daxing.
The Demon Queen had done countless evil deeds to His Majesty, but His Majesty clearly still remembered her.
I found a stand-in who was slightly similar to the Demon Queen to replace the Demon Queen's shadow.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager unanimously opposed it, and in the end they did not resist His Majesty and allowed the girl to stay in the palace. However, the Empress Dowager made an agreement with His Majesty.
This woman is absolutely not allowed to appear in public. After His Majesty agrees, we don’t know what happens next. "
Liu Mingzhi hid the look of surprise in his eyes and looked at Qian Lu casually.
"How could this happen? The evil deeds the Demon Queen has done to His Majesty are simply unforgivable crimes. How could Your Majesty still be obsessed with such a woman?
No matter how coquettish and colorful the Demon Queen looks, her Majesty is as beautiful as a fairy, but as the king of a country, finding a beautiful woman for his queen is just a matter of effort. "
"Who says otherwise! But we are not roundworms in His Majesty's belly. How can we know His Majesty's thoughts?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Qian Lu who shook his head helplessly and sighed, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he kept twisting the ring in his hand.
Sure enough, everything is clear.
All the suspicions I had in the past were finally cleared away, and everything became clear.
Ren Wenyue is just the scapegoat brought to the stage, the real manipulator behind the scenes... Haha...
After all, all my speculations turned out to be logical.
As expected, this is the most ruthless imperial family.
But since I already have a substitute, I won’t bother with it any more.
"Your Majesty, we are here."
"Um!
Um? Wasn't it summoned by the Queen Mother? Why are you here at the Queen Mother's Yi'an Palace? "
"This is what the Empress Dowager means. We don't know. Please, Your Majesty."
"Please."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to go with you. Your Majesty ordered us not to accompany your Majesty into the Queen Mother's Yi'an Palace."
