high official

Chapter 1049

Before dawn the next day, Wang Guifei came to serve the emperor.

As soon as he entered the outer hall, he was stopped by King Zhao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please take a step to speak."

"This..." Wang Guifei looked at the inner hall and instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Father won't get up until half an hour later." Zhao Wang said lightly, blocking Wang Guifei's excuse.Then made a respectful gesture.

Wang Guifei had no choice but to follow him to the side hall.

In the side hall, King Zhao didn't talk nonsense, he fixedly looked at Concubine Wang Guifei and said, "Your Majesty, what can they give you?"

"What do you mean?" Concubine Wang's expression changed drastically despite what she said. Obviously, King Zhao already knew about her promise to the three great scholars.

"Okay, let me ask more clearly." Zhao Wang Youyou said: "Do you want to be a virtuous concubine or a queen mother?"

"..." Concubine Wang Gui fell silent now, and she was not stupid, so she could understand that King Zhao was using the Queen Mother position to seduce herself.But who among the women in the palace can stand this temptation?Especially for a woman like Wang Guifei who has ruled the harem for many years, but is always unable to go one step further and become a queen.For that seat, I have been thinking about it day and night, and I am extremely eager!

"Your Majesty should be very clear that my father's life is too short, and he will be promoted to immortality within a few months." Zhao Wang lowered his voice, and every word was like a knife.

Concubine Wang Guifei was stunned. She thought that the Golden Court would keep the secret and would not tell the third person!
"Normally speaking, you don't have any chance to become the queen mother." Time was running out, and King Zhao didn't have time to talk to the concubine Wang Guifei. Ascending to the throne, if the empress is lucky, she will hand over the power of the harem, move out of the Forbidden City, and spend the remaining days of her life in the nunnery with the green lamp and ancient Buddha. If you are not lucky, it is possible to die for the emperor..."

Concubine Wang Guifei was frightened by the prospect described by King Zhao, and her face was pale. After a while, she grabbed Zhao Wang's arm like a life-saving straw, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to be the queen mother, what can you do?" Are you there?"

"As long as the empress is on my side, I guarantee that you will become the queen mother in the future." Zhao Wang looked at the terrified Wang Guifei, and his heart was full of sarcasm.

"No, who can say what will happen in the future?" Concubine Wang Gui shook her head vigorously and said, "What if you don't admit it in the future?"

"This king can make written evidence." Zhao Wangxin said, this woman is not too stupid.

"No way," Wang Guifei calmed down at this time, let go of Zhao Wang's arm, shook her head and said, "You are so cruel, you will even silence me at that time, what's the use of asking for evidence?"

"Then I will let the emperor make you the queen now, how about it?" King Zhao frowned impatiently.

"You can really do it?!" Concubine Wang suddenly became confused again, but this time it was caused by excitement. "You can make the emperor make me a queen right now?!" How could Wang Guifei not know that this is the way to maximize her own interests.As long as she can become the empress, after the death of the emperor, no matter who inherits the throne, she must be promoted to empress dowager, respected and respected, and let her live her life in glory.

"Of course." King Zhao nodded.

"How is it possible?" Wang Guifei couldn't believe it.

"If I can't do it, you can just be your virtuous concubine." Zhao Wang snorted coldly.

"Deal!" Concubine Wang Guifei looked at Wang Zhao with unconcealed joy and said, "You help me become the queen, and I will do my best to help you win the throne!"

"Okay." Zhao Wang looked at the inner hall and said calmly: "The emperor will get up soon."

"Okay, I'm going in." Wang Guifei nodded, and the footsteps of leaving were obviously much lighter.

Seeing her leaving back, Eunuch Yang moved behind King Zhao and whispered, "Your Majesty really wants her to be Queen?"

"If there is a queen to help you, our chances of winning will be much greater." Zhao Wang said lightly: "Since there is no one, we will create one."

"Indeed." Eunuch Yang nodded. The empress is the mother of the country, and her status is extremely important when the emperor is critically ill.When the emperor dies, the empress will naturally become the empress dowager, but the empress dowager has the power to abolish the establishment!It can completely offset the legal advantages of the prince and grandson!
"Your Majesty's amazing pen!" After thinking about it, Eunuch Yang praised it endlessly, but after thinking about it again, he said a little worriedly: "But how can the emperor agree to make her the empress?"

"I have my own way." King Zhao clasped his hands in his sleeves, his expression calm.

.

One afternoon two days later, after King Zhao gave Zhu Di a massage, the emperor woke up for a rare moment, leaned on the bed, and said weakly: "At this time in the past, there will be a lot of improvement, but this year there is no improvement. It seems that it is really not good... ..."

"Father, please don't say that. Your dragon body has always been healthy. What's the point of this little illness?" Zhao Wang hurriedly knelt down beside the emperor's bed, and said with tears: "My son, I beg my father Sign, whether it is extremely peaceful or not!"

"Oh?" Zhu Di said with a change of expression, "Is that what the signature says?"

"Yes." Zhao Wang hurriedly presented a lottery to the emperor, and said with a smile, "This is what I asked for in the Buddhist hall behind."

Zhu Di looked at the stick, and after a while said with difficulty: "Bring the lottery..."

"Yes." Zhao Wang wiped the emperor's saliva, and hurriedly ordered the eunuch standing at the door: "What are you doing, hurry up and get it!"

The little eunuch responded, and hurried to the Buddhist hall to get the stick.

Zhu Di lowered his eyes, waited motionless, and soon fell asleep.

When Zhu Di woke up, the stick had already been placed in front of the emperor. The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Father asked for a signature." King Zhao said softly.

"Oh..." Zhu Di raised his trembling right hand, struggling to hold the stick, but how could he hold it?With a bang, the stick fell to the ground, and a stick fell out of the stick.

Zhao Wang picked up the bamboo stick, glanced at it, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, it is also the hexagram of Tai!" He hurriedly presented the hexagram to the emperor.

Zhu Di has a lot of research on hexagrams, glanced at them, nodded, and said lightly: "But it's not about whether it's extremely peaceful or not, it's Sanyang Kaitai."

"It's my son who is ignorant." Zhao Wang immediately admitted his mistake and said, "It's Sanyang Kaitai."

"This hexagram has some meaning..." Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes again: "Why has the three suns passed, but Tai has not yet opened?" The ancients found that the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, and the days will get longer after that, so they think The winter solstice is "one yang is born", December is "two yangs are born", and the first month is "three yangs are born". At this point, the yin qi gradually disappears, and the yang qi begins to grow. Winter goes to spring and everything recovers.Normally, Zhu Di's chronic illness would get better after the first month, but now that February has passed, the illness is getting worse day by day, which makes the emperor very depressed...

King Zhao was used to the emperor's waking up and sleeping, and he waited quietly. When Zhu Di woke up again, he said softly: "Father, the weather is not enough, and we can rely on manpower to make up for it."

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then slowly said: "How to make it up?"

"Kinetic energy produces yang, kindness can produce yang, joy can produce yang." King Zhao remained silent after finishing speaking.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Make the noble concubine the queen, and amnesty the world..."

"My son obeys the order, and my son will deliver the decree." Zhao Wang knew that this would be the result, so he immediately responded and asked people to go out to deliver the decree.

The so-called kinetic energy generates yang, Zhu Di is now paralyzed in bed, so naturally he cannot move.As for being good at generating yang, it is nothing more than amnesty for the world, tax relief, etc. With the current financial situation, tax relief is impossible, and it can only be amnesty for the world.Furthermore, happiness can produce yang, which is what the folks call Chongxi, which is simpler, nothing more than setting up a queen, and Wang Guifei is naturally the best candidate for a queen...

So King Zhao had expected that Zhu Di would definitely choose this way.And the lottery is also tampered with, no matter how Zhu Di draws, he will always get the Thai hexagram...

.

The cabinet was on duty, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong were absent-mindedly working. This was the third day they had talked with Concubine Wang.For three days, several bachelors had been waiting, and finally waited for the order to come from the palace, so that the bachelors on duty went to draft the decree.Jin Youzi said, "Looks like there's something going on!" and hurried over, leaving Eryang anxiously waiting for the result.

After waiting for half an hour, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Jin Youzi rushed in with a dark face.

"How is it?" Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi looked at Jin Youzi and blurted out, "Have you seen the emperor?"

"I see..." Jin Youzi nodded.

"What did the emperor say?" Yang Rong asked.

"..." Jin Youzi gritted his teeth and said, "The Royal Concubine was bought by the King of Zhao, and the King of Zhao did not know how to persuade the Emperor to make her the queen!"

"Ah!" Er Yang was stunned in shock, after a while Yang Shiqi said slowly: "Did you take the opportunity to talk to the emperor?"

Jin Youzi shook his head dejectedly, and hissed: "After the emperor gave the decree, he fell into a coma. King Zhao immediately kicked me out of the palace, and he didn't give me a chance to wait for the emperor to wake up again!"

"Hmph!" Yang Rong slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "Zhu Gaosui is taking advantage of the emperor's illness! He is trying to usurp the throne!"

After sending out the fire, the three grand scholars fell into silent contemplation again.The current situation is becoming more and more dangerous. Instead of being willing to help, Wang Guifei has become an accomplice of King Zhao.Once King Zhao helps Concubine Wang Gui become the queen, Concubine Wang Guifei will definitely help King Zhao seize the throne. I am afraid that the prince and grandson will not be able to resist!
"This is really troublesome..." Thinking of this, Jin Youzi felt that a catastrophe was imminent, and looked at Yang Shiqi anxiously and said, "Brother Shiqi, we must not let them succeed!"

"Yes, but the emperor made this decree. If I obstruct and refute it, I will definitely offend the noble concubine to death." Yang Shiqi sighed: "Besides, I can guess why the emperor made the noble concubine the queen at this time. , it must be for joy, who can stop it?"

"Is there really no other way?" Jin Youzi hissed.

"Maybe there is someone who has a solution." Yang Rong was silent for a long time, then suddenly said.

"Who?" Jin Youzi immediately looked at Yang Rong.

"Wang Xian." Yang Rong said softly.
