Waste materials against the sky: the gods favor the little crazy concubine

Chapter 368 The Wind and Rain Are Coming (4)

"I'm afraid I have to congratulate King Guangping in advance."

Jiang Yuan's appearance was not considered superior, no... not only not superior, but also a little... ugly, coupled with the wrinkles on his face, so when he laughed at night, he always felt a kind of abrupt horror.

There was a smile on Zhou Hao's fair face, which was in stark contrast to Jiang Yuan, "It's all thanks to the military advisor. Without the military advisor's full support, our Zhou clan would never have had such an easy rebellion."

"When I regain the throne in the future, I will definitely treat the military division with the gift of a national teacher, so that the military division can enjoy the power of being under one person and above ten thousand people."

"Hehe." Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head, "No, no, King Guangping is being polite."

"Caomin is just a mediocre first-order commoner. He has no interest in the power of the court. The reason why he helps His Highness is because of the word "justice." Jiang Yuan said the righteous words, "The land of Baochuan was originally the place where His Highness and His Highness Zhou's has been forcibly taken away by others for so many years for no reason, and it is time to repay it."

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about it. When His Highness succeeds in ascending the throne, it will also be the day when Caomin leaves Xianyou."

Zhou Hao's face changed without a trace, and the eyes he looked at Jiang Yuan became a little more friendly.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Zhou Hao with a sneer in his eyes.

The two had their own thoughts, but they both chose tacitly not to expose it. On the surface, the master and servant did their best.

The night was silent.

Empress Dowager Cai shunned the palace people and leaned alone in Qiankun Palace.

Most of the candles in the palace were extinguished, leaving only two phoenix candles beside her, just like the pair of wedding candles when she married the first emperor.

Footsteps gradually resounded in the hall, and with the faint candlelight dispelling the darkness, the figure appeared in front of Empress Dowager Cai slowly, and Empress Dowager Cai raised her eyelids slightly, "You are here."

"Yes, Queen Mother, my minister is here."

A warm voice sounded, Guangping Wang Zhou Hao opened his thin lips lightly, "The queen mother has already made a promise to meet, if the humble minister does not come, it will be a disappointment to the queen mother."

Withdraw the guards on the east side and leave a gap on purpose. What the Queen Mother Cai did was not to surrender on purpose, but just to send a message. Go to see King Quang Binh.

"Is the Ai family treating you well?" Empress Dowager Cai spoke calmly, looking at Zhou Hao's soft and beautiful face.

After the death of the first emperor, all the power in the court fell into her hands. The Zhou clan was naturally dissatisfied, and the royal family even stood up to accuse her of causing trouble for the court and wanted to drive her out of power. How could she agree?
Those princes who disobeyed her were either secretly executed by her, or exiled and suppressed by her. Only Wang Zhouhao of Guangping was raised by her side, and she also raised him with the honor of a prince. Even the members of the Cai family wanted to greet Zhou Hao politely when they saw Zhou Hao. Even now, after thinking about it carefully, Queen Mother Cai felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Hao.

"it is good."

"The Empress Dowager treats my minister very well."

Zhou Hao replied without thinking, "But Empress Dowager, this Baochuan was originally surnamed Zhou, and everything you gave me, Empress Dowager, is what I should have, and even... should have more!"

The Empress Dowager Cai was indeed very kind to him, but no matter how good she was, she would be dependent on others after all. Besides, it was because the Empress Dowager Cai robbed him of what he should have first, so she was so kind to him. Back then, his brothers and uncles Unable to hold back, he chose to challenge the Queen Mother Cai openly and aboveboard. In the end, he was defeated and defeated. Only he endured the humiliation and was respectful and low-key to the Cai family, so he was not driven out to death.

A murderous intent flashed across Zhou Hao's eyes, "Besides, Empress Dowager, you only treat Weichen well, but Zhou's is not alone."

Those royal bloodlines that were suppressed by the Queen Mother Cai were all Zhou Hao's close relatives. After so many years of humiliation in the palace, Zhou Hao's only thought was to avenge them.

"Hehe, that's right."

Empress Dowager Cai suddenly laughed in a low voice, and looked at Zhou Hao's thin figure with a little approval in her eyes, "Your Zhou family really has a loving child like you."

"If the first emperor had treated the Ai family so affectionately and righteously back then, the Ai family would not have come to this point."

Zhou Hao is very patient. He doesn't comment on the right and wrong between the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cai. He has only one purpose in coming today, and that is to get back what he should have, and what the Zhou family should have. country.

"When you were young, you were not mean to me, but now that I have grown up, I will not criticize you, the queen mother. You just need to open the city gate and let me and my subordinates come in. The queen mother of Baochuan will always be yours alone. , Qiankun Palace will always respect you, and my ministers are also willing to serve the Queen Mother until the end of their lives." Zhou Hao said these words in a calm, but strong tone.

He won't kill Empress Dowager Cai, just like Empress Dowager Cai didn't kill him when he was a child, when Baochuan changed drastically, he was just an unknown prince who almost died because he offended a great descendant of the Cai family.

How ridiculous, a majestic prince would die because of offending a courtier, but there is no way, who let him have no mother and concubine and the family support behind the mother, the first emperor did not care about him whether he was alive or dead, not only It didn't make his situation better, but it was even more difficult. It was the Empress Dowager Cai who saw him being bullied and rescued him, and kept him in Qiankun Palace with good food and drink.

Even if he takes the position, the status of Queen Mother Cai will not change, he will still respect her, and will still give her the most honorable status of a woman in the world.

Empress Dowager Cai was slightly stunned. When did the young man in front of her have the aura of an emperor? When did the young man in front of her look so outstanding? together.

"You should know Aijia's temper." Queen Mother Cai recovered.

Zhou Hao smiled softly, "I know."

"What I have done the most over the years is to ponder the Queen Mother's mind and please the Queen Mother, so that the life of this minister will be easier."

"So even if he knows, Weichen still wants to ask the Queen Mother in person, is he willing to stay in the Qiankun Palace, or is he willing to watch Baochuan's blood flow like a river, and even the last [-] cronies of the Queen Mother will all die?"

Empress Dowager Cai's eyes were sharp, "You are not afraid that Ai's family will kill you!"

"Not afraid." Zhou Hao was always smiling, but Empress Dowager Cai felt that her scalp was numb, which was something she had never felt before.

"In the past, you didn't intend to kill this official, but now...you can't kill this official, so I am not afraid."

Even if he knew that Empress Dowager Cai deliberately relaxed the guards on the east side in order to see him, if Zhou Hao hadn't made complete preparations, he would definitely not dare to return to the imperial city alone easily.

"You can think about it, but this midsummer is coming to an end in a blink of an eye, I'm afraid the 20 army of Weichen will not be able to wait for too long." Zhou Hao cupped his hands towards the Queen Mother Cai, and his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the white hair on the temple of the Queen Mother Cai .

Since when did Queen Mother Cai become old?
He always remembered the appearance of Empress Dowager Cai in a red wedding dress, surrounded by thousands of people, when she was married to Qiankun Palace by the first emperor. Can't take my eyes off.

His appearance was originally an accident left behind by the late emperor's drunken pampering maid.

In fact, after careful calculation, Empress Dowager Cai is only nine years older than him, but she always looks high in front of him, stable and sophisticated.

Zhou Hao withdrew his gaze and realized that he was a bit presumptuous, "I will resign."

The Empress Dowager Cai didn't notice until Zhou Hao's figure completely disappeared in the Qiankun Palace. She was always reminiscing about the past in her mind, but she just felt very tired. She took off her palace clothes and phoenix crown and Xiapei, and suddenly felt very relaxed.

Looking at Zhou Hao's figure, Cai Xian shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Empress Dowager Cai died.

No one thought that Baochuan was supposed to be a bloody fight, but it suddenly ended with the sudden death of Empress Dowager Cai, who had been in power in Baochuan for more than ten years.

I heard that Empress Dowager Cai seemed to have a feeling that day, she dismissed all the palace people, stayed alone in the palace, and just passed away quietly. No one knows exactly when she died. When Cai Xian went to pay his respects the next day, he found that he was out of breath.

There are even rumors that the Empress Dowager Cai committed suicide because she knew that her country would not be safe and she would be humiliated by the descendants of the Zhou family, leaving a whole body behind.

Immediately, the people of Baochuan sighed.

After the death of the helm of the imperial power, it was too bleak,

Empress Dowager Cai died, leaving the imperial city without an owner. Zhou Hao led an army of 20 troops and marched straight in. He sat on the throne as a matter of course, and Baochuan Jiangshan finally returned to the Zhou family.

Because the Cai family didn't intervene when they seized power, they were especially gifted by Zhou Hao, and their status remained the same, but they could no longer be as prominent and powerful as before. Moreover, Zhou Hao also ordered the postponement of the enthronement ceremony. Empress Dowager Cai kept her filial piety for three days, and she had to be buried with national ceremonies. Her status as empress dowager has never changed.

The people in Baochuan are praising Zhou Hao's benevolence. The Empress Dowager Cai was so exaggerated in her lifetime, but she can still be glorious after her death. This is the blessing she cultivated in her previous life.

The only thing that people in the world can't understand is.

Zhou Hao still reused Cai Xian, just like the Empress Dowager Cai's affection for Cai Xian.

Zhou Hao let the Cai family go. It can be said that the Cai family is deeply rooted, and it cannot be solved in a short time. His foundation is not stable when he first ascended the throne. It is not so important for the living to be happy or depressed after death, but...

The Cai family was suppressed, but Cai Xian was the exception.
