Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 13 Her Means
Just as Song Qingtong guessed, the struggle in the palace is inseparable from the power word. Back then, the first emperor inherited the throne as the eldest son of the emperor, while Song Zhaoye was still young and named King Xi.His mother and concubine Fu Taifei wanted her son to become emperor, so she bribed the imperial doctor and put sterilization medicine in the diet of the late emperor, so that all the women in the harem had nothing to do. Soon after the late emperor found out, he executed Fu Taifei and other related people, but The body is too heavy to return, and only the queen is pregnant. She conceived and gave birth to a baby girl in October, and the queen died.The first emperor was furious and sent King Xi, who was only seven years old at the time, out of the palace. People in the palace rumored that he was the queen who was poisoned by King Xi.Later, the late emperor was critically ill, and two hostile forces formed in the court. One was headed by the state teacher to support King Xi, and the other was headed by the prime minister Chu Tianmo to support the empress. Division one party.

At this time, the maid came in and told, "The prime minister is waiting outside the palace."

The tough bone came, and he said with his jaw: "Please come in, Mr. Xiangfu."

Chu Tianmo strode into the bedroom, walked up to Song Qingtong and bowed to salute him. Song Qingtong glanced at him lightly, but his complexion was still not good, the circles around his eyes were dark, and he seemed to have not slept well.

Chu Tianmo cast a sharp glance at the person lying on the bed, frowned his sword eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Song Zhaoye conspired to rebel, and he deserves to be punished for his crime. Your Majesty must not tolerate traitors!"

Song Qingtong rubbed her temples, it was really difficult, she didn't believe that Song Zhaoye would participate in this rebellion, he lived in the palace and was closely monitored, he had no freedom of movement at all, she even suspected that Zheng Yuan and the maid's confession were all related It was Chu Tianmo's instruction.

Chu Tianmo said again: "The emperor's martial arts were abolished. It is very likely that he did it. Such a dangerous person must not stay with His Majesty. I will order someone to take him away."

Finally got to the point, is he going to kill Song Zhaoye because of this?But he was just guessing, without any real evidence.Seeing that Chu Tianmo was going to summon the guards, Song Qingtong's head hurt, and it seemed that he couldn't move.

Twitching his nose a few times, raising his sleeves, covering his face and crying, Chu Tianmo petrified on the spot, because the empress had never cried in front of him before, Song Qingtong saw that Chu Tianmo was motionless, his eyes were a little straight, and secretly Wanting to have a door, while amplifying the volume, he choked up and said, "I'm so scared! If I've been pregnant... If I can't conceive a dragon child, what will I do when I let go? What face do I have to see Mrs. Song?" The ancestors of the ancestors, woo woo..."

Chu Tianmo regained his composure for a long time. Seeing Song Qingtong crying like rain, he raised his sleeves to wipe her tears, but thinking of such transgression, he was at a loss for a while, and the pain on his face became deeper and deeper.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is still a year to go. Even if I go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely not let the Emperor make any mistakes."

Song Qingtong rolled her eyes secretly, who are you bluffing with this?Weeping, he said: "Father Xiang is dedicated to working for the country. I am very grateful. I have thought about it. When I go west, I will hand over Northern Qin to Father Xiang. Then I will have no worries."

Chu Tianmo's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said in a broken voice: "Your Majesty, the entrustment of the late emperor is vivid in my ears, I dare not forget it for a moment, I will be loyal to the emperor and do my best, and I will never give up my heart." .

Song Qingtong neither stopped him nor woke him up, still sobbing and said: "Father Xiang, did you ever think that if I die and Song Zhaoye dies again, there will be no one in Northern Qin who will inherit the great treasure, and the hearts of the people will be at that time." If there is turbulence, without the Southern Dynasty attacking, our Northern Qin Dynasty will perish."

It’s not that Chu Tianmo doesn’t know. This is also the reason why the late emperor didn’t kill King Xi. He suspected that the emperor’s fetal poison and the queen’s death were caused by King Xi, but there was no evidence. It was King Xi who did it, but there was also no evidence. When he thought of Song Qingtong's coma from the poison that day, he felt heartbroken and wanted to kill Song Zhaoye forever.

"Father, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but as a prime minister, you must put the country first." Song Qingtong talked about the truth that even she herself disdains. She doesn't want to have children, she just wants to be happy Spend the rest of the day, but she can't tell Chu Tianmo such irresponsible words.

Chu Tianmo had no choice but to nod, "Song Zhaoye spares his life for the time being, but he must not stay in the emperor's bedroom."

Song Qingtong had no objection, her goal was achieved, she bent down to help Chu Tianmo stand up, and said: "The words of the personal maid are not reliable, the Ji family is the second largest family in Northern Qin Dynasty, and the power of the court is intertwined, this matter is of great importance. Be careful." Ji Shi is still useful.

"Yes, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment to release Princess Suyang and keep him under close surveillance." Chu Tianmo let go.

Song Qingtong nodded, and when Chu Tianmo exited the dormitory, he realized that his inner clothes were almost soaked. When he was about to walk to the palace gate, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and met Song Qingtong's sly smile that he couldn't conceal on his lips. No, Chu Tianmo's heart skipped a beat.

Song Qingtong didn't expect him to turn around suddenly, so he quickly stopped laughing and asked solemnly, "Is Xiangfu okay?"

Chu Tianmo's eyes were deep, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The troops sent to the disaster-stricken areas are ready, and they will start as soon as Mr. Wen Gui arrives."

Song Qingtong's head dilated three times immediately, and almost forgot that that hard bone was not much easier to chew than Chu Tianmo, so he raised his forehead and said, "I know, I'm going to Yuzhang Palace right away."

As soon as I said this, there was a commotion at the door, and the eunuch's shrill cry came: "Chengliang man! The emperor and the prime minister are discussing state affairs, come back quickly!"

Before the eunuch finished yelling, the figure in cassock had rushed into the palace gate. Seeing that he ran into Chu Tianmo, Chu Tianmo didn't dodge, and raised his palm to hit the person coming. Hit, both of them took a step back.

Cheng Cheng saw that it was Chu Tianmo standing in front of him, his eyes turned slightly, and he saluted respectfully. Chu Tianmo has been in the prime minister for more than ten years, his political achievements are not based on his reputation, and his reputation has spread far and wide. The emperor's accession to the throne did not affect his reputation in the slightest.

Chu Tianmo nodded slightly, Song Qingtong looked at Cheng Guan's eyelids twitched, this kid came to find fault again?Uncle can bear it and auntie can't bear it!From today onwards, guards must be strengthened in the bedroom.

Cheng Guan also gave a salute to Song Qingtong, which seemed too casual compared to just now, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Daoist Shui Jing has been silent since you came back. The palace man said that Chang hadn't slept all night, and now he is practicing swords in the bamboo grove, and the emperor went over to have a look."
