Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 67
The corners of Feng Jin's lips slowly rose, revealing an inexplicable smile. She looked at Shen Wenqing and said meaningfully, "Wenqing, don't let me live up to my trust and reliance."

Shen Wenqing stared at her intently for a long time, then lowered her head again, her tone was respectful and sincere, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wenqing will not."

From then on, he, the Shen family, and the entire Jiangnan gentry were completely tied to the boat of the empress. The empress won, the Shen family prospered, the empress lost, and the Shen family was ruined.

Trust and reliance are a double-edged sword. The queen trusts him, which means that the queen values ​​him, but conversely, if he fails the queen's trust, the queen will treat him and the Shen family even harder.

The empress revealed these things clearly to him tonight, not only to express her trust in him, but also to warn him not to disagree.

"Go back."

Shen Wenqing bowed his head and stepped back, before leaving the door, he turned his head to look at the deep and secluded palace.

I don't know what Wuming said, but the queen smiled softly, showing two rows of neat white teeth, her eyebrows were curved, and her pair of phoenix eyes shone with light.

Such an empress, truly relaxed and joyful, was something he had never seen before.

For some reason, Shen Wenqing felt jealous of Wuming.

From day to night, the palace is peaceful and peaceful.

But the prime minister's mansion closest to the imperial palace looked gloomy.

Pei Xiu was lying on the bed with a pale face and excited expression, "Disagree? Zhongshan King doesn't agree? The truth is that the young prince of the Wangfu wants to help Zhongshan King ascend to the sky, but he doesn't agree? Is he stupid? ?”

A middle-aged man with a white face and beardless, gentle and elegant, who looked like a staff member, stood by the hospital bed and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Zhongshan, the King of Zhongshan excused that his young son was weak and sick, and his qualifications were too poor. It is really difficult to take on such a big responsibility, the subordinates are tongue-tied, and King Zhongshan still refuses to change his mind."

"Excuse! It's all an excuse!"

Pei Xiu said coldly, "It's really shameless, a king of Zhongshan who lives in a corner, the most remote and poorest fiefdom, has the guts to refuse the truth's proposal!"

The staff thought for a while and suggested, "Master Xiang, don't get angry. There is no Zhongshan King, but there are also King Qing'an and King Xicheng. Those two princes have young sons in their residences. Just pick one out."

Pei Xiu gave him a cold look, "The king of Zhongshan refused to agree. Do you think the other two princes will agree? I know what they are thinking. I have the same mother as the first emperor, and the most powerful Jiangdong king will not agree." Even if Her Majesty the Empress dies, it will not be their turn to be emperors. What they are afraid of is that Truth will support Xiao Shizi to become a puppet emperor. The emperor threw it out to ward off King Jiangdong's anger."

The aide smiled and said, "King Jiangdong is still here, even if Her Majesty the Queen dies, it is indeed unfair for the other young sons of concubine princes to become emperors. All civil and military officials and the people of the world will oppose it. The princes are worried. It's also normal."

"Do you think the truth doesn't know if the name is right or wrong? If there is no other way, the truth will not make such a bad plan!"

Pei Xiu's brows were tightened, and she said in a daze, "It would be great if I could find the child born to Concubine Hui..."

There was a flash of light in the staff's eyes, "Concubine Hui was really pregnant?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the Empress Dowager was so eager to deal with her? The Empress Dowager is the empress of the palace, and she made great contributions to winning the throne for the late emperor. Even if there is no prince and only a princess, no one can threaten her. Status, but Concubine Hui is different. The late emperor was sincere to Concubine Hui. If Concubine Hui gave birth to a daughter, it would be fine. If she gave birth to a son, this son would definitely be established as the crown prince. The concubine can stand against the empress!"

Speaking of this, Pei Xiu sneered, "With the cruelty of our empress dowager, we would never bet on Concubine Hui giving birth to a boy or girl. If she loses the bet, she will also lose."

The staff looked puzzled, "What I don't understand is that since the Empress Dowager can design to frame Concubine Hui and put her in the cold palace, why not just kill her and finish it off? Will that child be born?"

"The first question, the truth guess is that the killing of Concubine Hui is probably too much noise. The Queen Mother feels that everyone around Concubine Hui has been bought by her. Concubine Hui can't escape from her own Wuzhishan, so there is no need to kill her to cause the late emperor. Pay attention. The second problem is that someone is obstructing it! Instead, they bought those maids who had been bought by the Queen Mother long ago and stayed with Concubine Hui in the cold palace, making the Queen Mother think that Concubine Hui’s child was gone. As for who, Wang Quan, the chief eunuch at the time, definitely participated, but it was difficult to avoid the Queen Mother's eyes and ears with Wang Quan alone. Therefore, there must be other high-ranking people involved in it, who were secretly manipulating. Who is it? It hasn’t been found out for six years.”

"So, Xiangye didn't kill Wang Quan all these years because of this child? Xiangye wants to know the whereabouts of this child from him?"

Pei Xiu nodded, "It's a pity that Wang Quan is old and cunning. The truth sent so many people to sneak into his house, but he couldn't find anything useful."

"Have Xiangye thought about it, maybe there is no such child at all, maybe Concubine Hui was miscarried by the queen mother when she entered the cold palace, so Xiangye can't find anything, because there is no one at all."

Pei Xiu pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "What you said is also reasonable, but the truth is that the king has secrets all over his body, and his return to the palace to be the chief eunuch may even be tricked by him."

"Perhaps Xiangye thought too complicated. Wang Quan had been the chief executive for so many years. When Her Majesty the Empress came to the throne, he was forced out by Xiangye. Now, the Empress invited him back. Of course, he will seize the opportunity to come back." .”

Pei Xiu rubbed his aching temples, "Maybe you are right, the truth is too complicated, but how can the truth support the new puppet without the little son? Now, His Majesty doesn't listen to the truth at all. That's it!"

"Don't worry, Master Xiang. This subordinate will go to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion again. If Zhongshan King refuses to agree, this subordinate will go to Qing'an Prince's Mansion and Xicheng Prince's Mansion to try."

Pei Xiu gave a low 'hmm', "Thank you."

The staff replied respectfully, "Whatever Xiangye said, this is what the subordinates should do."

Pei Xiu's long eyebrows were tightly frowned, "It's just that I still want to find out Wang Quan's background and see if the child was born. It would be the best if I can find that child! He is the child of the late emperor. The rightful heir to the throne, with that child, the world will return, and Her Majesty the Empress can die!"

"Master Xiang has raised Her Majesty the Empress for six years, with deep love and deep affection, how come the trouble has come to the point of life and death? Would you like to try to reconcile with Her Majesty by saying some kind words to Her Majesty?"

"The reconciliation can't be done. Your Majesty has been acting frequently recently. Even the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River have been subdued by her, and she has also got involved with the Jianghu sect. It seems that your majesty wants to take back the power deliberately."

The staff pondered for a moment, then said cautiously, "Master Xiang, why don't you hand over the position of chief assistant, and respectfully ask His Majesty to take charge of the government, maybe..."

Feeling two piercingly cold eyes shot over, the staff member couldn't utter a single word.

He sighed in his heart, and said carefully, "Even if the new puppet is supported, the little emperor will grow up and want to be in charge of the government. If he doesn't listen to the prime minister, then..."

Pei Xiu said coldly, "At that time, kill and change again! In short, the truth of the power in this world will not be handed over!"

The staff sighed and stopped talking.

Master Xiang's enthusiasm for power is beyond anyone's imagination. He is absolutely unwilling to hand over his power when he is in the position of Master Xiang.

If the empress stays at ease in the harem and enjoys herself, then she and the prime minister will live in peace. If she is unwilling to be a pawn, it will become the current situation.

"Master Xiang just said that Her Majesty the Empress has something to do with a Jianghu sect? What sect is it?"

"According to the news from the spies, it seems to be the door to death."

The eyes of the staff flickered slightly, "Master, the Gate of Death is the sect with the most disciples and the widest channel of information in the Jianghu. Since His Majesty wants to win over the Gate of Death for her use, why don't we act first?"

Pei Xiu sneered, "It's just a Jianghu sect, what skills can it have? Does it need the truth to try to win over?"

The aide tried his best to persuade him, "Master Xiang, don't underestimate Shimen, Master Xiang, think about it, if Simen has no skills, why would your majesty choose Shimen among so many sects in the Jianghu?"

Pei Xiu fell into deep thought, and after a while, he looked at his staff with blazing eyes, "Go to the gate of death immediately!"
