Chapter 788 In the Hands of King Nanhuai
The more the empress dowager thought about it in the palace, the more irritable she became, so she simply said: "Go to the imperial study and bring the recent booklet to Ai's family."
Aunt A Snake smiled, "I knew that sao can't stay widowed."
"Get out!" The empress dowager became angry after being seen through by her.
"Okay, I'll get out, get out and get you a booklet." Aunt Snake smiled and went.
Sitting in the hall, the Empress Dowager felt more and more depressed. She opened the window and saw that everything in the hall was just like her back then, but the stars have changed, and many years have passed.
"Murong Qingtian, the mess you left behind really upset the Ai family. If Lao Qi didn't resemble you so much, the Ai family really wouldn't bother to take care of it." She murmured.
The emperor was stunned when he knew that the empress dowager had started to ask about politics.
"She really made up her mind to ask me to abdicate."
Recalling that when he came to the throne, she told him personally, Aijia believed in you and knew that you would be a worthy king, but if you couldn't do it, Aijia would tear you off the throne.
Am I not a virtuous gentleman? In my reign, how many things have I done for the people? Grandpa, can you see it?
You only see the wrong things I did, and the merits I have done a hundred times are not worth one wrong thing.
The Night King was locked up for two days before being released.
When I went to see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager scolded, "It's not enough to succeed!"
He smiled like a flower, then begged for a favor with a stern face, and left the palace.
After he left, Aunt Snake asked the Empress Dowager strangely, "Why did you allow him to ignore anything in the court?"
Now is the time to employ people, if he doesn't care, who cares? Really count on this old woman?
The Empress Dowager glanced at her indifferently, "Could it be that there are not many people involved in the Murong family? He wants to get rid of himself and not be missed by others."
"Lao Jiu is still smart." Aunt A Snake said.
"If you are not the tallest person in the royal family, you might as well not be smart." The Empress Dowager said.
Indeed.
The Empress Dowager returned to power, which was a great shock to the court.
At least, one thing can be proved, that is, the emperor's body is very wrong.
The Night King didn't ask any more about court affairs, and he didn't need to go to court.
On the first day the Empress Dowager asked about politics, she arranged for His Royal Highness King Liang to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War.
There was only one prime minister in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since Xia Huaijun's death, the position of prime minister has also been dropped, but it didn't last long. Now, the empress dowager has appointed a right minister, which seems to be promoting the former Minister of the Ministry of War. However, in fact He was stripped of his power.
Because, although the right minister said that he had great power, he was held down by the empress dowager and could not move.
It's like a flower shelf.
The Empress Dowager acted resolutely, and after Liang Wang was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, she ordered people to go to Daliang to ask for marriage, and wanted to marry Princess Yier, the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang.
Liang Wang, Minister of the Ministry of War, worked harder and harder.
The Empress Dowager intended to rectify the troops, so the King of Liang made a general table of the relative strength of the Great Zhou and then redistributed it.
After the emperor recovered from his illness, the military power had been shuffled, but now it has been reshuffled, and the soldiers and horses of the original regent have also infiltrated everywhere.
Anyone can see that the Empress Dowager is preserving strength for Murong Jie.
The emperor could do nothing but watch helplessly as his imperial power was taken away.
He knew that the ancestor used this method to force him to abdicate.
He couldn't admit defeat so quickly, as long as he found Xia Zi'an, the ancestor had to fulfill her promise, no matter who saved him, he could survive anyway without abdicating.
The emperor and the empress dowager seemed to be angry, but in fact, the empress dowager didn't have this intention, and she was indeed angry with him. However, the empress dowager never got angry with government affairs.
The series of favorable national policies that Murong Jie had advocated were promulgated by the Empress Dowager in the honor of the regent. Everyone knew what was going on when she accumulated political capital for Murong Jie. She wanted to impeach or exclude Murong Jie before. The people moved closer one after another.
Let's talk about Zian, she woke up in an inn. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and couldn't remember what happened.
"Are you awake?" A low voice came into her ears.
She looked up quickly and blurted out, "Is it you?"
"An accident?" Nan Huai Wang's face slowly raised a gloomy smile.
Zian sat up, looked around, and memories slowly poured into him.
She remembered that she went down the mountain with Lingli, and saw Shangqiu and some men in black in the middle of the mountain.
Shangqiu told her that he knew the whereabouts of Lao Qi, and when she walked over, she smelled a fragrance and felt dizzy.
Then, I don't know anything.
She is captivated!
"You caught me? Where's Lingli?" Zi'an asked abruptly.
"I don't know, maybe he's dead, maybe he's alive." King Nanhuai shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.
"You..." Zian touched his arm subconsciously, and the scar was gone.
"You don't need to look for it, I've put it away." King Nanhuai said.
"What do you want to do?" Zi'an asked in a deep voice.
King Nanhuai stood up, walked slowly to the window, opened the window, looked at the night outside, his back seemed a little lonely, and his voice was very lonely, "This king wants to take you back to the southern country."
After he finished speaking, he turned around slowly and looked at Zian, "Don't worry, as long as you follow me obediently, I won't make things difficult for you."
Zi'an lifted the quilt and wanted to get off the ground, but found that she had no strength at all. She supported the edge of the bed, "What medicine did you give me?"
"Don't worry, it's harmless to your fetus, it will only make you weak."
King Nanhuai looked at her gloomyly, and warned again: "However, if you dare to play any tricks, neither your life nor the life of the child in your womb will be saved."
Zian slowly leaned against the bed, endured a moment of dizziness, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Two days!"
Zi'an was deeply worried. The old seven disappeared, and he was taken away again. He was afraid that Beijing would be in chaos.
How is Lao Qi now? Did it fall into his or the emperor's hands?
She remembered that before going down the mountain, she knew that the Empress Dowager was back, and thinking that she was so powerful, she comforted herself that Lao Qi should be fine.
On the contrary, I have to deal with this King Nanhuai well. She is not alone now, and there is another one in her stomach.
She thought for a while and asked, "What are you taking me back to the southern country for?"
King Nanhuai looked at her quietly and said, "Of course we want to take back the southern kingdom."
"Even if you don't take me with you, you can take it back to the Southern Kingdom by yourself," Zi'an said.
"I hold you in my hands, the king is more confident." He bowed his hands to Zi'an, "Sister-in-law Qi, take care of me, if you cooperate, the king will not make you suffer."
"You hate me so much, why don't you make things difficult for me?" Zi'an didn't believe it.
"You are still worth using. This king has always respected useful people."
Zian looked at his extremely gloomy face, and felt that if he got angry, it would make her less afraid, at least it was normal.
"Sister-in-law Qi take a good rest. When you wake up, the king can go to rest at ease." After King Nanhuai finished speaking, he turned and left.
