Step on a branch

Chapter 335
In the other room, Fan Taibao and Huang Taishi walked slowly back to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

There was a lot of chatter in the palace, and the two didn't exchange much about the previous conversation in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but tacit understanding.

No matter how earnestly the empress dowager said, mother and son, mother and son, after all, the mother cannot replace the son.

The mother and son are not in harmony.

It was undoubtedly the empress dowager's idea to kill Deng Guoshi.

In this regard, the Queen Mother also admitted.

In the subsequent dialogue, what the empress dowager showed was her dominance over the emperor.

The emperor has been on the throne for many years. At the beginning, the empress dowager took more control. After a few years, she seldom interfered.

Big and small matters are decided by the emperor.

However, because of the predicament in front of her, the empress dowager regretted it.

As she said herself, she regretted that she did not kill Deng Guoshi a few years earlier, but delayed until now.

The storm is about to rise, and the empress dowager no longer entrusts the decision-making power to the emperor, but is making decisions for the emperor.

In Huang Taishi's view, this cannot be simply attributed to "good and bad".

Because the emperor did not approve of the empress dowager's intervention, nor did he accept the empress dowager's arrangement.

If the empress dowager's tricks are all stupid, and the emperor disagrees, accepts, and is disobedient, that is a great thing.

In other words, the empress dowager is sage, she acts in the interests of the country, even if the emperor is not capable, as long as he acts according to the empress dowager's wishes, then the government will not be in chaos.

However, the current situation is that the empress dowager wants to do something good, but the emperor refuses because of various thoughts...

For a while, it seemed that the empress dowager had the upper hand.

She resolutely killed Deng Guoshi.

She wanted to win over these old officials to stabilize the situation.

However, after all, she is only the queen mother, not the emperor.

The emperor was unwilling to bow his head.

If he really realized his mistake and was willing to apologize to Mrs. Xu, the Empress Dowager would not have to let the two old fellows get involved in the matter.

The queen mother asked them to "accompany" the emperor, because she did not have any confidence in the emperor.

Grand Master Huang walked very slowly, sighing deeply.

Even if he doesn't know the identity of Lin Xiaozi, Lin Xiaozi is only a courtier and is Lin Xuan's own son, Huang Taishi is not optimistic about turning big things into small things.

The empress dowager is old, and the three of them are also old.

If there is no accident, all of them will walk ahead of the emperor.

The emperor was suffocating in his heart, he was forced to bow his head today, and when no one restrained him, he would slash the uncut knives on the Lin and Qin families.

At that time, the empress dowager dragged the three of them to beat the coffin board, and there was no way to recover!

What's more, they already knew Lin Fan's identity.

One is the emperor who is unable to recognize mistakes and correct the way forward, and the other is the eldest grandson of the emperor who is well-organized and capable...

What he and Fan Taibao need to do is check and balance.

Deng Guoshi died.

The reason for the Qing emperor before his eyes disappeared.

They had to allow Lin Fan more time to take another suitable path to start an army.

Back in the yamen, Grand Master Huang thought it over and quickly wrote to Huang Yi.

The news in this heart is extremely important, and Grand Master Huang didn't care about the distinction between public and private, so he went to the Ministry of War and said a few good words, and asked them to send them to the border in the way of conveying military information, sooner or later.

In the afternoon, the prince came to invite him, and the two elders went to the Taifu's mansion again.

Outside Xu's residence, the emperor who left the palace in micro-clothes had just arrived.

A brick wall blocked the gate.

The emperor looked at the brick wall, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

This wall was built by him.

He didn't shout to smash it, so naturally no one dared to smash it.

The fact that this wall stands here reminds him involuntarily of the dispute between him and the Taifu.

Very unhappy.

But today, he was forced by the Empress Dowager to invite Mrs. Xu out of the mountain. This wall is obviously a big joke.

Fan Taibao bowed to the emperor, and then asked Huang Taishi, "How did you get in when you visited the old man?"

Taishi Huang pointed to the wall: "Climb the ladder."

When the emperor heard this, his face became even more ugly.

Does this mean to let him climb the ladder too?
"Tear it down," he said, "someone has to tear down the brick wall."

As soon as the emperor spoke, the prince who "accompanied" the emperor summoned a few people and quickly knocked down the wall.

The broken bricks were cleaned up, revealing the door inside.

The movement outside cannot be concealed from the Xu family.

The steward went in and asked Master Xu.

Knowing that the emperor and the two elders had arrived, Madam Xu said: "You don't need to open the door, just tell me I'm taking a nap, and if they want to climb the ladder, let them go."

The steward responded, then went back to the wall, climbed up the ladder, poked his head out, and said, "My lord is taking a nap. Without his order, no one dares to tear down the wall inside, nor can the gate be opened. bit..."

Grand Master Huang coughed twice, and said, "Let's build a ladder."

Soon, a ladder was sent out and set up.

Huang Taishi is familiar with the door and the way to climb up.

Fan Taibao didn't move, with his hands behind his back, waiting for the emperor to go first.

The emperor suppressed his anger and climbed up the ladder.

A group of people went outside the study.

Xu Taifu, who was taking a nap, came to welcome the guests with disheveled hair, only one coat and shoes.

Seeing the emperor, he said: "Yesterday evening, I heard that Xizhou City was voted for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I was very happy. I drank two extra glasses of wine. I thought I could have a good sleep at night, but I didn't want to get the good news of the evil spirit's death again. I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep all night, and I didn't take a nap until noon today. I hope the emperor can't blame you for being unkempt."

The emperor nodded and went in to take a seat.

Taifu Xu asked someone to serve tea, and asked: "Why does the emperor think of killing the master?"

"Didn't your lord expect me to kill him?" The emperor asked back.

Master Xu smiled when he heard the words, his smile was very sad: "Yes, he should have been killed a long time ago, and he should have been killed a few years ago, so there is no trouble now."

The emperor's heart sank.

The monarch and his ministers have not seen each other for more than half a year.

As soon as he spoke a few words, Mr. Xu's nature was hard to change, and he was about to start preaching again.

"According to the old minister's opinion, there is no need for the emperor to make an apology to the old minister," Taifu Xu raised his voice a little, and said word by word, "At this age, the old minister is powerless to do anything for the Great Zhou.

With such a strong body, there is really no way to worry about the government anymore.

The ones the emperor should make amends to are Marquis Yongning, Duke Ding, and thousands of other border guards.

When they were fighting Xiliang, Jingzhong named the commander and vanguard as rebels. Such a move to shake the morale was really unimaginable.

If it wasn't for the determination of the soldiers to allow Xiliang to seize the opportunity and counterattack while our side was in a downturn, it would have been a disastrous defeat.

The emperor should seriously think about how to appease and reward the soldiers. "

After Shen Chen spoke, he came towards the emperor with overwhelming force.

He was nailed to the same place, he didn't want to leave, he didn't want to leave, he could only listen, after listening, he wanted to refute several times, but he had to swallow it all.

After being in such a stalemate for a while, his throat rolled, and he choked out a sentence: "Teacher is right."

Xu Taifu glanced at the emperor: "Since that's the case, the emperor should go back and think about it carefully. The old minister will not send it off."
