At around midnight in Luo'an, the sky was dim and bright, and Grand Tutor Gao Changde walked towards the imperial city with an entourage.
Although Emperor Hui Jiang Rui has been in office for eight years, he is only ten years old, so he is not yet in charge. He still needs to study hard in the palace every day under the guidance of Taifu Gao Changde, and strive to be successful in governing the country as soon as possible. .
A group of three people came to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City. Wang Liangbi, the commander of the Yulin Army guarding the gate, looked at the highly respected Taifu outside the door. Naturally, he knew that this was the same as before. He came to teach the little emperor regardless of rain or shine, so he didn't After careful inspection, the door opened and Taifu Gao Changde and his entourage were welcomed in.
Under the protection of the Yulin Army, Gao Changde, who was leaning on crutches, slowly came to the Ziwei Hall with his entourage. This hall was the daily study place of the young emperor Jiang Rui.
Although he had the help of crutches, it was still very difficult for the old and dying Taifu Gao Changde to walk up the high and long steps of Ziwei Hall.
Gao Changde waved his sleeves. Behind him, the entourage who was wearing gray servant clothes and kept his head down without speaking quickly stepped forward and held Gao Changde's arm to help Gao Changde walk into the Ziwei Palace.
Seeing this, Wang Liangbi, the guard commander of the Yulin Army, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, cupped his hands and reminded Gao Changde:
"Master Taifu, according to the rules, this entourage cannot enter the Ziwei Palace..."
When Gao Changde heard this, he glanced at Wang Liangbi with turbid eyes and said lightly:
"I am old and frail. I have difficulty moving recently. Isn't it possible to find someone to help me?"
"Master, that's not what I meant, it's just this..." Sensing the unkindness in Gao Changde's words, Wang Liangbi hurriedly defended:
"Hmph! It's not my turn to do anything, but you, a little commander of the Yulin Army, are here to lecture Guan Nao!
"You can report this matter to the police and see if Shangguan Hongyuan can cure me of my crime!"
After saying this, Gao Changde ignored Wang Liangbi and walked towards the direction of Ziwei Hall with the help of his entourage.
Watching Gao Changde and his entourage leave, Wang Liangbi could only helplessly shake his head.
Although the rules have explicitly prohibited it, these rules are set by people after all. If it were someone else, he would just give the order and take them down.
But if Gao Changde, as the Taifu, really relies on his old age and shows off his authority, he, as a commander, really has no way to do it. He can't do anything to this highly respected old man who is famous all over the world just because of this matter. Body, right?
The civil and military officials in the court were absolutely excited, and the memorials to impeach themselves were flying like snowflakes. In that case, even the chief minister would not be able to protect himself...
Forget it, it’s just a matter of asking an attendant to come into the palace to support you. It’s not a big deal. Let’s report it to the superiors for handling!
With this in mind, Wang Liangbi didn't think much, turned around and walked towards the Meridian Gate.
With the support of his entourage, Gao Changde walked very slowly. It took him nearly a cup of tea to walk through the stairs and enter the main hall.
"Thank you, Master Taifu, for your help!"
The attendant who was supporting Gao Changde's arm saw no one around and whispered to Gao Changde:
"Your Highness Prince Zheng is serious. I can help His Highness get here. The next journey depends on Your Highness himself. I will leave at noon. I hope His Highness will come back on time!" Gao Changde whispered:
Prince Zheng Jiang Guang, who disguised himself as a follower and followed Gao Changde into the imperial city, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Taifu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Guang dodged and entered the courtyard wall next to the Ziwei Palace, while Gao Changde straightened his appearance and walked slowly towards the depths of the palace on crutches... ··········
As the prince of the imperial court, Prince Zheng Jiang Guang was the uncle of the current Emperor Hui. He was a nobleman in Tianhuang and had a respected status. Although on the surface he was as sensual and muddled as other clan members, he lived in this world like a walking corpse.
But few people know that Jiang Guang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he became a disciple of the master Qiu Jun, nicknamed Winged Tiger. He trained in winter and summer, and developed good martial arts skills!
Especially this Qinggong, which has been passed down by Qiu Jun. It is able to pass through thousands of flowers without touching a single leaf. Even if you look at the world, there are only a few people who are superior in Qinggong!
Despite his superb Qinggong skills, Jiang Guang never thought that he could break into the heavily guarded harem by himself. He quietly slipped into the needlework bureau, which was the weakest guard in the palace.
There Jiang Guang met Han Baosheng, the secret servant he bribed. With Han Baosheng's help, Jiang Guang changed into eunuch's clothes and followed Han Baosheng smoothly through many checkpoints and entered the harem.
Looking at the beautiful and resplendent Shoukang Palace in front of him, Jiang Guang, who was dressed in eunuch clothes, seemed to have thought of something, and there was a touch of complicated emotions in his eyes...
Although his mood was complicated, Jiang Guang also understood where he was and what he was doing. He soon calmed down, saw the right moment, and quietly sneaked towards Shoukang Palace!
In the Nuan Pavilion of Shoukang Palace, the Cixiao Queen Mother Wang Yun, who had just finished dressing up, was having her breakfast. Maybe she didn't have much appetite. She didn't eat much of the porridge and side dishes carefully prepared by the imperial chef, so she asked the palace maid to serve them. All the food was taken away.
"Ziyan, do you know that the emperor has been following Taifu Gao, and what has he learned recently?"
Although she is the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty, the Queen Mother is still concerned about her children's studies like any other mother.
The beautiful young maid Zi Yan standing by the side heard the Queen Mother's question and immediately replied softly:
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has recently studied moderation with Taifu Gao. I heard a few days ago that Taifu Gao was very satisfied with your academic progress and said that Your Majesty is very talented and is a rare gem!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun's dignified and fair face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, even though she was already the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the mother of Emperor Hui, and the most respected woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But because she entered the palace when she was less than twenty years old, Wang Yun is only in her early thirties until now. It is the best age for a woman to be elegant, intellectual, and plump... ····
"Ziyan, you will make some lotus seed soup later and bring it to Ziwei Palace at noon. Rui'er likes this the most," Wang Yun warned her personal maid carefully.
"clatter······"
As soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, she heard some slight abnormal noises coming from outside the Nuan Pavilion. Upon hearing the abnormal noises, Zi Yan immediately became vigilant, protected Wang Yun in front of her, and shouted sternly toward the door. :
"who?"
"I!"
King Zheng Jiang Guang immediately walked into the house
Seeing the sudden appearance of the middle-aged eunuch, Zi Yan was surprised and took a fighting stance, ready to give the man in front of him a fatal blow.
Being able to serve as the personal maid of the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty, Zi Yan is not an ordinary person. She is Wang Yun's natal family. The Huainan Marquis Wang family spent a lot of money to train a dead warrior since she was a child. She is highly skilled in martial arts and was specially sent to protect Wang Yun.
Although Jiang Guang was wearing eunuch clothes at this time, Wang Yun still recognized him at a glance, and there was a ray of surprise in her eyes. However, she seemed to be aware of her current identity, and the light in her eyes gradually Disappeared···········
"Zi Yan, please step back!" Wang Yun ordered in a low voice:
"The Queen Mother···········"
Hearing Wang Yun's instructions, young Zi Yan was very surprised. Her intuition told her that the middle-aged eunuch in front of her was very dangerous. If he was left alone with the Queen Mother, he would pose a major threat to the Queen Mother's safety!
"Don't worry, he won't hurt me!" Wang Yun warned softly again:
As a soldier who had been trained since childhood, Zi Yan didn't understand emotions very well, but when she heard what the Queen Mother said, she could naturally detect that there was something unusual between the Queen Mother and this middle-aged eunuch who suddenly appeared. After a moment of hesitation, she said to Wang Yun:
"Queen Mother, I'm right outside the house. If you have any questions, please call me anytime!"
Wang Yun nodded slightly helplessly when she heard this. Seeing this, Zi Yan gave Jiang Guang another warning look before walking out of the Nuan Pavilion.
Watching Zi Yan leave, Jiang Guang looked at Wang Yun with gentle eyes and said with a smile:
"Your family's dead soldiers are still as loyal as ever!"
Regarding Jiang Guang's words, Wang Yun did not respond, but said quietly:
"We said back then that we would never meet again in this life..."
Jiang Guang couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face when he heard this, but he said very calmly:
"Yun'er, I regret it. I have regretted my original decision all the time in the past ten years."
As soon as Jiang Guang said this, Wang Yunqing, who felt his feelings, couldn't help but have a look on her face, and all the past events could not help but reappear in her mind.
Although there were thousands of thoughts in her heart, Wang Yun was no longer the little girl she was before. Being the Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty for nearly ten years had also greatly tempered her character. She restrained the emotions in her heart and directed her Jiang Guang shook his head and said:
"It's hard to recover after being covered with water. How can a broken mirror be reunited?"
"You are Prince Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In this life, you and I are destined to be destined to have no connection..."
"Your Highness Prince Zheng, let's go!"
Hearing the man in the dream in front of him say such heartless words, Jiang Guang's face was immediately filled with disappointment. However, he also had a tough personality. He quickly calmed down his emotions and forced a smile on his face:
"Yun'er, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I, Jiang Guang, did not force you ten years ago. I will still not do this ten years later..."
"As long as I see you and Rui'er living a happy and happy life, I will be satisfied!"
When Jiang Guang mentioned Rui'er, Wang Yun's bright eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.
"I came here this time to tell you something important!" Jiang Guang said solemnly:
"I am a woman, and I am in this deep palace, so what important matters can I have?" Wang Yun said softly:
"Mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is overturned!" Jiang Guang said in a low voice, word for word:
As the Queen Mother, Wang Yun's expression immediately changed when she heard this. Although she had lived in the palace for a long time, she came from a noble family and had been accustomed to intrigues and political struggles since she was a child. She also had an extremely keen sense of politics. She naturally understood what Jiang Guang was talking about. ···········
"Is he going to take action?" Wang Yun said with a trembling voice.
Seeing his beloved woman looking so frightened, Jiang Guang couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He shook his head and said, "It's not that he is going to do it, it's that we are going to do it!"
"You?" Wang Yun asked in surprise:
"That's right! It's us!" Jiang Guang said firmly:
"In the past few years, he has been rebellious, bullying loyal people, arbitrarily excluding dissidents in the court, and often beheading people and sending them into exile. Especially for those of us who are descendants of the clan, he has oppressed us to the extreme, forcing us all to pretend to be crazy and act stupid in order to survive. In the world!"
"His ambitions are not to mention the court. Even if he randomly pulls a commoner from the streets of Luo'an, he will know that he wants to be the emperor!"
"He thought he could succeed and encroach on the world step by step, but he forgot one thing. If this world is still called Da Zhou, then it is my Jiang family's world!"
"During the hundreds of years since the reign of Zuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been countless loyal and righteous people who have benefited from the country's grace. As long as they plan carefully, I believe they can thwart his plot and crush his bones into ashes to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven... ··”
Jiang Guang said a lot, but Wang Yun immediately grasped the key points and asked calmly:
"Did the clan and Lin Shize join forces?"
Facing Wang Yun's inquiry, Jiang Guang did not hide anything and admitted directly:
"We are almost done talking. It is said that Lin Shize still has more than a year to live. If he dies, no one can stop Shangguan Hongyuan, and the Lin family's annihilation is just around the corner, so Lin Shize must get there before he dies. Defeat Shangguan Hongyuan!"
Wang Yun was silent for a while, then looked into Jiang Guang's eyes and said:
"You are telling me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell him all these things?"
"I can become the Queen Mother, and Rui'er can become the Emperor, but it's all because of his great help back then..."
"I don't believe Yun'er that you would betray me!" Facing Wang Yun's gaze, Jiang Guang said confidently;
After Jiang Guang finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other, and their eyes gradually merged in the air. Maybe they felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. As the Queen Mother, Wang Yun was the first to regain her senses and looked away from Jiang Guang. eyes.
Feeling Wang Yun's attitude, Jiang Guang was really unwilling. He gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice:
"Yun'er, I have a question that has been hidden in my heart for ten years. If you tell me the answer today, I, Jiang Guang, will be able to smile even if I am dead now..."
Although Jiang Guang hadn't said the question yet, Wang Yun seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, took a deep breath and said:
"The bad relationship between you and me is already a mistake, so why do you need to linger on it?
"This is not good for you or me. Are you willing to give up only if the matter becomes public knowledge and becomes irreversible?"
