The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 39 Relegation
Another three or four days passed, Xie Jian, the commander of the imperial army, had already captured the bandits and came back. There were less than 20 people in total, and a few died.Xie Xiao didn't bother to ask, so he asked Xie Jian to lock him up and hand it over to Dali Temple for processing.

Shen Zhong also sent someone to report that he has successfully taken over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but there are still some trivial matters that have not been dealt with, and he will come back to face the saint immediately after they are settled over there.

Xie Xiao was not in a hurry, he found it interesting that the officials of the household department had already arrived after receiving the imperial edict, but only Ding Guogong and his son had not been seen for a long time.

Xie Xiao had just had lunch, and was about to take a lunch break before leaving for Penglai Hall. In the afternoon, he was invited by the Queen to watch peacocks with the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince.

A little eunuch outside came in anxiously and whispered a few words beside Ming Zhong.

In an instant, Mingzhong's face became brilliant, turning pale, turning blue, and he scolded Dingguo's mansion ten thousand times in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Ding Guogong and Ding Guogong's son followed the Queen Mother Fengjia and are almost at the foot of the mountain."

Xie Xiao already knew on the day the queen mother left that the imperial palace was full of forbidden troops, so it was difficult to hide the news from him, the emperor.

"Let's just say that I'm taking a nap, so let's talk about it when I wake up."

As soon as the words finished, the eunuch guarding the door hurried in, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager please see me."

Xie Xiao squinted his eyes, but he came quickly. Ding Guogong brought the Queen Mother to put pressure on him, but the camp in the suburbs of Beijing has changed hands now, and it is too late.

"Emperor, now that Ai's family is here, don't you see me?" The Queen Mother's voice sounded outside.She came eagerly and traveled a lot, and when she arrived at the palace, she went straight to the Guanhai Palace, her face was already tired, and she looked even older.

"Let the Queen Mother come in." Xie Xiao casually grabbed the soft robe on his body, his black hair was half scattered behind him, and he didn't mean to ask the palace servants to tidy up for him at all.

The Empress Dowager walked into the hall with a solemn face, her airs were extremely high, and before she could speak, Xie Xiao said, "Mother is here, please sit down." Her aura was broken.

The Empress Dowager's face was dark, her tone was cold and hard, she looked at Xie Xiao who was half leaning on the soft cushion, her clothes were disheveled, and she didn't even salute when she saw her, and said: "The emperor's wings are hard now, and the empress Ai's family can't control it."

Xie Xiao smiled lightly, but didn't move, "The mother's words, the son is wronged. I don't know why the mother came here in a hurry. If you want to come to the palace to escape the summer heat, why don't you send someone to inform me in advance, so I can let people Clean up and welcome the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager was thinking about the affairs of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and she didn't want to continue to argue with him, so she sat directly on the grand teacher's chair opposite Xie Xiao, and asked in a cold voice: "About your uncle, what's going on?"

The emperor is the adopted son of the empress dowager, so Ding Guogong can be regarded as his grandfather, and Ding Guogong's son is naturally his uncle.

"Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Xie Xiao's expression faded, although he still smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

The empress dowager was ordered by Duke Dingguo all the way, how important is the military power of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.Dingguogong's mansion has gone downhill in recent years, although the emperor's actions can only remove part of Dingguogong's faction.But it was a large camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and the power to command the Imperial City Army with more than 1 people was a serious injury to Dingguo's government.

"Your Majesty, the Yuan family is the natal family of the Ai family, so it is not too much to ask the Ai family."

"Since the queen mother insists, there is no reason for me. Mingzhong, show the account book to the queen mother."

The queen mother casually flipped through the account book and threw it aside: "Your uncle has already told Ai Jia that he was all deceived by others, and the accountant committed suicide in fear of crime that day."

"Uncle's ability to reverse black and white, I am really amazed." Xie Xiao smiled half-smile, and asked as if he was very talkative, "Then what does the mother think, what should I do?"

The Empress Dowager calmed down, and took a sip from the teacup on the table, "The accountant is greedy, so it should be a house raid. And since the crime has been convicted, this matter can be exposed. Your grandfather and uncle are old and cannot handle it. Even though they have been tossing and tossing, the emperor also understands and understands their painstaking efforts for so many years."

This is clearly saying that if there is no Duke of Dingguo, the emperor would not be able to ascend the throne so smoothly.

Xie Xiao glanced at the Queen Mother strangely. It was not just because of the Dingguo Mansion that the Queen Mother was able to sit firmly on the Queen Mother's position, and she was still able to sit on the Queen Mother's seat even without her own children.I don't know if these years of comfortable life and the superior status of the queen mother have eroded the queen mother's agility, so that she can also say such words to the emperor who basically holds power.

"As my mother said, my uncle is old, and it's time to enjoy his old age. I have already handed over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to the commander of the Imperial City Division, Zhong Zhong, so I will let my uncle stay at home and have a good rest."

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager stood up abruptly, knocked down the teacup on the table, and it shattered to the ground.

"I have made up my mind. Since my mother has arrived here, I have asked people to clean up the residence. Let my mother stay and escape the summer together." Xie Xiao smiled, but was not angry.He also ordered Ming Zhong calmly.

"Okay, okay, the emperor really has a lot of skills." The queen mother's chest was rising and falling in anger, and it took a long time for her to say a word, she flicked her sleeves angrily, turned around and walked out.

After leaving the Guanhai Palace, the Empress Dowager's eyes were on the Duke Ding and his son who were kneeling outside to plead guilty.Looking at her father's gray temples and her elder brother who was also aged but dressed in plain clothes, the empress dowager's eyes turned red.

Seeing the Queen Mother's appearance, Ding Guogong understood in his heart, and shook his head in the Queen Mother's direction.On the way he came, he knew that the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing could not be kept, so it was better to make a good gesture and give the Emperor Yin a hand.

"The old minister is not strict in teaching his son, so he specially led the unworthy son to come to plead guilty." Duke Ding's voice was resonant and full of spirit.Not only can it be heard in Guanhai Palace, but also the nearby palace guards can hear it.

Dingguogong's son received his father's hint, held the pleading paper in both hands, and followed suit loudly: "I have owed the emperor's grace, and wrote the letter in tears. Since I took charge of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, I have worked hard and dared not make any mistakes. I didn't want to be deceived by the villain and almost made a big mistake. I please resign from the official position and ask the emperor to forgive me." At the end, I was choked up and burst into tears.

After a while, there was no movement from Guanhai Hall.Duke Dingguo and his son looked at each other, their faces were ugly, and when the son of Duke Dingguo was about to cry, Ming Zhong walked out of the hall.

Ming Zhong walked up to the two of them and cupped his hands, and took the booklet from Dingguogong Shizi, "Grandpa, Shizi, the emperor wants to rest for lunch, so I won't see you two." Mingzhong sighed pretentiously again, "Hey, the slave also speaks a lot. The emperor understands that the son of the world is a man, and he can't do things that wait for empty pay."

"In the past few days, a lot of proposals to impeach the prince have been suppressed. The emperor hesitated a lot before making this decision. I haven't been able to sleep well for several nights, and my servant feels distressed watching it."

Ding Guogong's son held his breath in his chest, and his hand wiping away his tears froze in mid-air.A little anger gradually surfaced on his face, and he didn't answer.

Dingguo frowned and looked at him, then said to Mingzhong with gratitude and sorrow: "Thank you, Mr. Ming, it's the old minister's fault. Your majesty has been working so hard. Mr. Ming, please let the emperor take care of the dragon." Body, otherwise the old minister will feel uneasy."

"My lord, don't worry, this servant will serve the emperor with all my heart."

Although it is said that the harem cannot interfere in politics, it is the harem who can know what happened in the previous dynasty the fastest.This time, even people who are not very sensitive to the government can detect the emperor's attitude towards the Duke of Dingguo, and everyone is waiting to see the joke, but the fact that Yuan Xiurong is not in the palace makes this "joke" less direct ridicule object.

In Qiyunxuan, Gu Panfu was taking a nap, and the entire Xuanzi was quiet.

Gu Panfu could tell from the emperor's hot and cold attitude towards Duke Ding's mansion that sooner or later the emperor would clean up Duke Ding's faction.She warned her palace servants early in the morning, forbidding anyone to gossip.

However, Gu Panfu didn't know that her servants and eunuchs were concerned about another matter.When the emperor was busy with government affairs, he seldom turned over his cards, but counting yesterday, he had already turned over the cards of Yingxuan servant for six or seven days.

Even the precious concubine had to avoid her sharpness for a while, and went to Guanhai Palace to deliver cakes twice but failed.

In fact, Gu Panfu also heard several times that the palace people talked about Yingxuan servant, saying how much the emperor dotes on her.But if the emperor really loves her, he won't flip her cards and make her a target of public criticism in the harem, just like the servant Yan Xuan who just entered the palace at that time.

So as long as she doesn't fall out of favor, no one will provoke her.What does she care about the emperor? Does she think she has lived too long?

Gu Panfu is having a sweet dream. She has had so much fun recently that she would be exhausted after taking a break.

The scene in the dream is always flickering, Gu Panfu always feels like she is floating in the clouds.There is a faint voice in front that seems to be telling a love story, such as meeting on the bridge of magpies, making love in the West Lake, and promising each other for life.

The corner of Gu Panfu's mouth twitched when she was listening, she could still hear storytellers in her own dreams.Just as she was about to move forward, an old woman came to meet her, holding a red thread in her hand and was about to tie it to Gu Panfu's hand.Gu Panfu hurriedly dodged in a panic, and when she raised her head again, the figure of the old woman gradually changed into her own.

The self on the opposite side was full of smiles, and lightly parted her red lips: "Don't get your shoes wet."

Gu Panfu woke up suddenly, with a bed curtain with intricate patterns painted on her head, her mind was sober as never before, and everything in the dream was still clear in her eyes.

"Master? Master is awake? Hanrui went to bring sweet soup, master drink some to wake up."

Gu Panfu turned her head when she heard the voice, and found that it was Hanlu who was lifting the bed curtain.Gu Panfu rubbed the center of her brows, then sat up holding Hanlu's hand, "What time is it?"

"The time has passed, my lord."

"Go get me something to eat, I'm hungry." Gu Panfu didn't have lunch before going to bed, and fell asleep directly.

Hanlu went to pass the meal, Gu Panfu stepped on soft shoes, thinking of what she said in her dream, she couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Qingmei came in with slightly hurried steps, bumping against the beaded curtain on the door, "Master, just now the eldest prince and the second prince pushed servant Yingxuan into the water. She was rescued now, but Yingxuan The waiter is still unconscious."

"Eldest Prince and Second Prince?"

"Yes, master."

Gu Panfu sighed, she couldn't eat anymore, so she grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, "Come and help me with my makeup."
