Qianqing Palace.
It has been two hours since Xiao Yan and Mrs. Yan left together.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the hall through the window paper.
in this harsh winter.
The earth dragon under the main hall was burning vigorously, making the entire main hall feel as warm as spring.
The temperature is pleasant.
It doesn't make people feel hot or cool.
Under the rays of the setting sun.
A burly middle-aged man wearing a dark yellow robe walked into the Qianqing Palace.
He is Xiao Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"My son, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Xiao Chen cupped his fists and gave a slight salute.
Queen Mother Zhang closed her eyes, held the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said calmly: "Here you go, sit down."
Xiao Chen sat down and waved the maid next to Queen Mother Zhang to step back.
"Auntie."
"My son is wrong."
Who would have thought that the majestic Emperor of Zhou would admit his mistake to the Queen Mother?
Queen Mother Zhang paused and continued to spin the beads.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
There were some things he had to do and couldn't help but do.
But who would have thought that the other party was also on guard, let alone that a young man would have unparalleled strength in the world.
After reciting Buddhist scriptures, Queen Mother Zhang put down her beads and then said, "You did indeed make a mistake."
"Back then, His Majesty the late Emperor was just like you. He did more ruthlessly than you, but he still failed in the end."
"It just demoted him from the position of King of Jin to King of Xiliang."
"People are still alive today."
"As for you, you should be more ruthless and more decisive than your father."
"But you are so self-righteous that you underestimate your enemies."
"And your son is even worse than you!"
"It's just a prince, but he takes action against a fool. If it really happens, wouldn't he push King Jin directly to Xiliang?"
Xiao Chen also had a trace of regret in his eyes. If he had known earlier, he should have let Shadow take action.
Queen Mother Zhang said coldly: "Since you know you made a mistake, you must find a way to correct it, and you must remember this lesson."
"If you still can't solve this problem, it will be even more impossible given the abilities of your sons."
Xiao Chen clasped his fists and said firmly: "Auntie, I understand."
Empress Dowager Zhang became a little gentler and asked, "Is Maolong Ridge finally cleaned up?"
Xiao Chen replied: "This matter is because the King of Xiliang killed their master back then, so that the apprentice came to seek revenge, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded slightly and said with emotion: "On the day of birth, auspiciousness descended from the sky, with a precious jade in his mouth, and he was born with supernatural powers. He was able to walk at one year old, composed poems at two years old, practiced martial arts at three years old, led the army at ten years old, and guarded Yumen Pass alone at fifteen years old. Since then, there have been no reports of the Xixia army entering the pass."
"Why is this Qilin'er not a royal prince?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his teeth became sore.
Looking at what Xiao Yan, the crown prince of Xiliang, did, and then looking at his sons, he suddenly had the idea of going back and beating them up to vent his anger.
Empress Dowager Zhang continued: "The King of Jin back then and the current Crown Prince of Xiliang, Xiao Yan, are known to the world to be loyal to the innocent son of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"But we also know that with the military strength, reputation, and ability of the King of Xiliang, he can definitely sit on the throne, and he has already made a plan."
"If it hadn't been for the Xixia and Turkic coalition forces that directly attacked the Weishui River, the Zhou Dynasty would have been in danger. The King of Xiliang finally gave up the throne and led his troops out of the capital to resist foreigners. The throne might really be his."
"In terms of loyalty, the King of Xiliang's move can be described as a brave and loyal minister."
"Because of this, you Aye ascended the throne and became the emperor. However, he has worked hard and worked hard for these years, but he is exhausted. Your incompetent elder brother also did things that made him angry. In the end, he could only use this The impact of this incident will involve the King of Xiliang, so as to pave the way for you."
"But you, Aye, failed to succeed in the end, so you left with regrets."
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed again, if her plan had succeeded, it wouldn't be like this.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has become a hidden danger that Wei Da cannot get rid of.
If Emperor Chongyuan had lived a few more years, he would have been able to stabilize the imperial power and slowly take back the military power of the Xiliang King.
There would not be such a dilemma now.
Xiao Chen also sighed. He was truly envious, jealous, and deeply fearful of this imperial uncle and his proud cousin.
Queen Mother Zhang took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and continued: "You Aye acted kindly, so in the end, the King of Xiliang escaped."
"You know you have learned from the past, and Xiao Yan is a proud man of heaven, so he should come up with full plans to avoid future troubles."
"If you let the tiger go back to the mountain now, there will be endless troubles."
"Today, if I hadn't asked Yun'er to go to Zuixian Tower, then the prince would have lost all his face, and the princes from all over the country would be dissatisfied. He would only take one son to plan the overall situation, and fail to take three steps at a time. This is the behavior of a reckless man. Lift.”
Xiao Chen said softly: "What Auntie taught me is that after my son returns, he will also teach Wuji well. However, although Maolong Ridge did not become Xiao Yan's burial place, he was poisoned by poison. One of the big poisons is the red blood poison, even the Medicine King Valley may not be able to cure this poison."
Queen Mother Zhang frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Chen dissatisfied.
Xiao Chen quickly lowered his head slightly.
Empress Dowager Zhang said softly: "The Ai family is already old. It may not take more than a few years for them to go see His Majesty the late Emperor."
"You still have to walk your own path."
"Go and do your work, the Ai family needs to rest."
…
On the carriage.
Mrs. Yan is lying on her side, supporting her head with her right hand. There are white flowers in front of her body. She looks more forward and backward, with a graceful figure.
"That Yuan Ye is the son of Xing Guogong. Now he is in charge of the affairs of the Fusi Department of Beizhen. He has the rank of general of the third rank and is a guard of the Thousand Niu Swordsman of the East Palace."
"The big guy must have been lured to Zuixian Tower, and then ended up eating the Overlord's meal and accidentally beating someone to death."
"If I really go to Beizhen Fusi, I will probably become a useless person."
"You were ambushed in Maolong Ridge, and the little thieves in the East Palace wanted to kill you in the capital."
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry has been discontinued since then."
"As expected of father and son, they are both evil-minded. They don't have any great talents themselves, so they have to be afraid of you princes who are loyal to the Zhou Dynasty and defend the border to the death."
"Now that you've been poisoned, you just need to live and recover. You'd better be a good playboy first."
"As for that little thief in the East Palace, huh, someone will take care of him."
Xiao Yi was lucky and felt refreshed. He glanced at Mrs. Yan and quickly looked away.
"Aunt Yan is talking about the second prince Qin Wang Xiao Hong?"
The second prince, Xiao Hong, was the son of Concubine Wu. He was so favored by Emperor Zhou that even the Hongwen Museum was handed over to Xiao Hong.
Mrs. Yan noticed Xiao Yan's gaze, covered her mouth and smiled slightly, and replied: "Of course, you just need to watch the show from the sidelines."
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but I'm a dandy."
"The dandy takes revenge from morning to night."
"Aunt Yan, don't worry. The 300,000 troops from Xixia and Turks can't do anything to me, and the top ten masters can't kill me. This capital is not the Nine Nether Hell, so they can't trap me at all."
Mrs. Yan said helplessly: "Okay, okay."
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xiliang Prince's Mansion in the capital.
