palm order

Chapter 440

Does Jingxihou dare to compete with Yunmo?
He doesn't have an old father who can charm the Queen Mother!
They are all the emperor's courtiers, and Yun Mo is the emperor's stepbrother.

They are a family, according to the rules, Jing Xihou has to call Yun Mo fourth master.

The emperor has always been guilty of opposing the Queen Mother's marriage to An Guogong, and this guilt has been compensated to Yun Mo at all.

When An Guogong was still there, the emperor didn't think An Guogong was good.

The late An Guogong was missed by the emperor, and what was bad before has become good.

Xiao Shoufu and other six important ministers, as well as the martial arts officers who walked out of the imperial study room, did not expect to hear such a sigh from Jing Xihou.

Wu Xun showed dissatisfaction on his face, but the civil servant could still hold his breath.

"Even if Yun Mo is the leader of the literary world in the eyes of you scholars, and his stepdaughter becomes Princess Jing, how can he have as deep a bond with the emperor as we do? We are accompanying the emperor's old brother."

"Jingxi Hou, you will soon replace Yun Mo when you return to Beijing. Your Majesty loves and trusts you very much."

"That's right, Marquis Jingxi don't have to be afraid of Yunmo, we support you."

The Wu Xuns automatically put Jing Xihou in their camp.

They had dealt with Jingxihou before, when Jingxihou was the son of Yang's daughter.

They didn't have much conflict with Jing Xihou, they fought together.

Back then, the emperor and Jing Xihou were both generals under Duke Yang's command.

Jing Xihou said repeatedly: "Don't say that, I really can't bear it, Mr. Yun and the emperor are like brothers, I am not, at best, I am the emperor's servant."

Jing Xihou bowed to them, for fear that their words would be heard by the emperor.

Wu Xun felt that Jing Xihou was too timid, maybe he was punished by the emperor.

But the emperor did alienate Yunmo because of Jingxihou's neglect.

"Don't be afraid, Marquis Jingxi, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is already a vassal, let's say a few words to Master Yun, don't be afraid that Prince Jing will bring someone to the door.

Besides, we didn't say that Master Yun is bad, he really can't compare with Jingxi Hou. In terms of affection, we have been with His Majesty for many years, and we are closer to Master Yun. "

"Don't, don't hurt me." Jing Xihou shook his head and said, "You have been with His Majesty for many years, so you have a deep friendship? You have forgotten the old brothers who have been involved in these years, Qi Guogong, Qiyanghou, Shangdingbo, etc., Which one has not been brothers with the emperor for many years, they are now..."

The faces of Wu Xun were a bit ugly, Jing Xihou read that the old brother of the title was ransacked by the emperor and exterminated.

The emperor said that brotherly love is deep, and we share wealth and honor together. He has never softened his heart by ordering family raids and extermination.

Wu Xun was a little scared, the emperor often took them to drink in the past year, hooked their shoulders and recalled the past years, and treated them very preferentially.

When civil servants impeached them, the emperor always held them up high, put them down gently, and punished them with three glasses of wine.

Every time the warriors in the court could not win the civil servants, and when the civil servants wanted to intervene in the military through the Ministry of War, the emperor took sides and helped them overtly and secretly.

Yun Mo also respected and defended them, helping them find fault with civil servants, and helping them explain the truth, making them think that Yun Mo really wanted to mix into Wu Xun's circle and be their little brother.

Seeing that the Wu Xuns had figured it out, Jing Xihou said softly: "We are the emperor's subjects, Master Yun is not only a subject, but also the emperor's brother!
As long as Mr. Yun does not rebel, his prosperity and wealth will be stable for the rest of his life. Maybe he will be able to enter the cabinet with the title of duke.

He is the assistant chosen by His Majesty for the future Crown Prince. "

Jing Xihou glanced at the silent Xiao Shoufu again. After saying this, some civil servants lost their composure and showed dissatisfaction.

Xiao Shoufu narrowed his eyes, "It has only been two days since Hou Jingxi returned to Beijing, and he can understand the holy will better than people who have lived in the center for a long time like me?
Lord Hou's methods of instigating my relationship with Mr. Yun are a bit rough, and I will never agree to join the cabinet as a martial artist. "

Their civilian officials haven't reached out to the military yet, but let Wu Xun steal their home?

How can there be such a cheap thing!

No matter how much Xiao Shoufu appreciates Yunmo, he won't succeed!
Since ancient times, civil servants and military generals have fought and fought, and there has been a balance, but there will always be a winner.

Either emphasizing literature or favoring martial arts, few emperors could understand the balance between civil and martial arts.

It's only been five years since Tianmu Liguo has completed his calculations, and the emperor doesn't seem to have decided on which side to lean slightly.

At this time, civil servants Wu Xun fought openly and secretly, and established that emphasizing both literature and military can continue the entire dynasty.

Once the founding emperor set the general direction, the succeeding emperor could only slightly modify the "ancestral teachings".

Jing Xihou raised the corners of his mouth, "Master Shoufu, you don't care, aren't you curious that the emperor will go out of the palace to find the empress dowager?"

Xiao Shoufu frowned, connecting Jing Xihou's words together, a truth that he ignored seemed to be coming out.

Although the empress dowager likes farming, she prefers to stay in the palace. Since An Guogong passed away, the empress dowager moved to the palace.

The Compassionate Ning Palace is mostly vacant, the Empress Dowager doesn't even care about the reclaimed land, she just lives outside the palace, and it is said that she often goes to Yunfu.

In the name of liking Yunwei, the queen mother seemed to take good care of Yunmo's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang.

Xiao Shoufu has always been a little puzzled why the Queen Mother is so selfish and careless, why does she frequently support Mrs. Jiang?
The reason why Xiao Shoufu did not continue to investigate was because the queen mother said that she thought of herself when she saw Mrs. Jiang.

Back then, they lined up and knelt outside the palace to oppose the Queen Mother marrying An Guogong.

Mrs. Jiang is also married for the second time, so it makes sense for the queen mother to think that she pity Mrs. Jiang.

There are a lot of second-married widows in the world, and those who married widows again among the nobles have never seen the Queen Mother show favor to second-married widows.

The empress dowager has a mediocre attitude towards all the wives. The remarried wife made rude mistakes when she entered the palace to pay her respects. The empress dowager never tolerated it.

"Is Jingxihou..." Xiao Shoufu asked, "The brother you mentioned is the brother I want?"

Jing Xihou laughed dryly, and said, "Xiao Shoufu said that the lower officials don't quite understand, and I have absolutely no intention of replacing Master Yun.

Colleagues, don't embarrass me anymore.Master Yun should eat and drink when he is with the emperor. I am really worried about being with the emperor for a few days, for fear of losing my dignity in front of your majesty.

I remember that I heard the emperor say something, it was from the mouth of Princess Jing, that the difference between people is even greater than the difference between people and curly hair.

Curly know?Inugami who was bestowed with a gold medal by the emperor! "

Important minister: "..."

Does that mean they are inferior to dogs?
Jing Xihou was hoping that Xiao Shoufu and others could pierce through this layer of window paper.

Not mentioning the death of An Guogong, even if the empress dowager and Yunmo's biological father were revealed indistinctly, it would do a lot of damage to Yunmo's reputation.

It is difficult for Yun Mo to become an important minister in this life, so Jing Xihou can completely replace Yun Mo as the emperor's servant?
This can be regarded as removing an obstacle for Empress Yang in advance.

Zhaoyang Hall, the emperor galloped in. At that time, Empress Yang just heard the movement and came out to see the situation.

Empress Yang looked at the emperor on horseback, and frowned unhappily, "Mu Beixuan, are you crazy? Come to the Zhaoyang Hall of my palace to mess around?"

The steed that the emperor was riding rushed towards Empress Yang like a whirlwind, without giving Empress Yang a chance to dodge, the emperor's dark and angry eyes were enough to make Empress Yang lose her mind, as if she could see through her secret thoughts.

Empress Yang's heart thumped, the emperor bent down and grabbed Empress Yang's arm, the cold and low voice penetrated into her body, she seemed unable to move.

"Don't move, don't move obediently, I didn't come to ask you to do anything."

The emperor put Empress Yang in front of him, wrapped her thick arms around Empress Yang's slender waist, and urged the horse to gallop out of the palace.

"Where are you going to take Ben Gong? Just say it if you have something to say, Ben Gong doesn't want to guess your mind."

Empress Yang was annoyed, she struggled lightly and gritted her teeth and said: "Out of the palace, in public, don't blame me for saving face for you!
If you don't want to lose face in front of the people in the capital, let me go..."

The horse carrying the two of them flew out of the palace gate with four hooves. The guards guarding the palace gate wanted to intercept them, but saw the man on the horse wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

Running behind the steed is the commander of the guards, panting to remind:
"Your Majesty is going out, you quickly get out of the way."

Not an assassin, but the current emperor.

The guards got out of the way and quickly knelt down to greet the emperor. The man is the emperor, and the beautiful woman in front of the emperor can only be the empress.

The emperor was often angered by the empress and left the Zhaoyang Palace. He never thought that the emperor would take Empress Yang out of the palace. Could it be that the emperor prepared a special surprise for Empress Yang?
As Wan Niangniang and Prince Jing left the capital to take up the feudal clan, and the empress dowager hid in the palace outside the palace for many days, the ruling and opposition parties believed that Empress Yang had won.

You win!
No one can threaten Empress Yang's status, and dare to compete with Empress Yang for the emperor.

"Shame?!" The emperor laughed with a hint of sadness, "I am afraid of shame?! After today, the common people will know that I have been played around!"

Empress Yang's palms broke out in cold sweat, and her body stiffened involuntarily.

She didn't feel that there was something wrong with her relationship with Landlord Mu back then, and she didn't regret giving birth to A Yang, let alone bringing A Yang back to Yang's house.

She was a little nervous when she heard that the emperor was being tricked.

At this time, she has completely turned against the emperor, and her chances of winning are not great, and it may cause a shock in the world.

Queen Yang would not forgive herself if the barbarians were given a chance to invade south.

The emperor's eyes darkened slightly, and Empress Yang's delicate waist was tense under the palm, how could he not feel it?

The tiger talisman was given by Queen Yang, and the ten thousand soldiers and horses were also hers.

Could it be that Empress Yang and Landlord Mu were...impossible!

It's ridiculous.

With the temperament of a queen, how could she fall in love with Landlord Mu?

"The counselor who helped the eldest brother is the third brother, my good third brother, a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken."

The emperor laughed at himself and said, "Are you also surprised? The tiger talisman belongs to you. I took you out of the palace just to ask the queen mother whether the third child is qualified to lead the army to Xiliang.

The third child, the queen mother, Yun Mo, no, Yun Mo may not know the real ability of the third child.

They haven't been together for a long time, and I know the content of every drink.

It is impossible for the empress dowager and my good stepfather not to know... The third child has been taking care of them in his hometown.

The queen mother loves the third child the most, and has always been the most concerned about his affairs. The queen mother finally waited for the time when the most precious youngest child became famous. "

Empress Yang was taken aback, and turned to look at the emperor, "You mean Landlord Mu took my tiger talisman and led the army? Nonsense! Does he know how to fight and lead soldiers?"

She seemed very anxious, no matter whether she was on the galloping horse or not, she grabbed the emperor's collar and raised her voice: "Do you want to tell the queen mother whether the landlord Mu is hiding something or is it a waste? Are you out of your mind? Not sure?

The most important thing to do at this time is to call Landlord Mu back to the capital, and... return my [-] soldiers and horses!

You suspect that Landlord Mu is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. In Bengong's eyes, he is just a pig, and he can't pretend to be a tiger even if he wears a tiger's skin.

Without Ayang's assistance, he can't accomplish great things! "

The emperor easily manipulated the steed, looked at Queen Yang seriously, and carefully analyzed her anger, worry and other emotions.

"Bengong warns you, if the ten thousand soldiers and horses of my palace are half lost by landlord Mu, and the whole army is wiped out, I will risk my life to seek justice with you, and I will kill landlord Mu with a sword, and your partiality Always boasting that her youngest son is the wife of a great talent!"

Empress Yang's face was pale with anger, her chest heaved up and down, and the waves were choppy.

The emperor's gaze did not stop, his pupils darkened, and his Adam's apple was itchy... Empress Yang raised her hand and slapped her. The emperor quickly moved his hand away from her waist, and grabbed her raised wrist.

Just a little bit into the arms, Empress Yang lost control of her balance while sitting on the saddle, and bumped into the emperor's chest.

The emperor lowered his head, and Empress Yang raised her head, their eyes met each other, and they were stunned almost at the same time.

Empress Yang let go of the emperor's collar, and when she was about to turn around, her wrist was grabbed, and she said angrily, "No matter what your mother says, I don't believe that Lord Mu is capable of serving as a general. , I shouldn’t have given him the Tiger Talisman on the spur of the moment!”

Yun Mansion is not too far away from the imperial palace, Yun Mo declined the big house that the emperor rewarded, but Yun Mo's wife is rich, Madam Jiang made good friends, spent a lot of money to buy a house close to the imperial palace, surrounded by important officials The mansion of the mansion.

The horse the emperor rode stopped in front of the gate of Yunfu, and the gatekeeper saw the emperor and Queen Yang sitting on the horse face to face, his head grew big.

Is the most honorable couple in the world quarreling and passing by the door while riding a horse, or come to Master Xunyun?
No matter which one, the steward feels that today is going to be hard.

Bang bang bang, the horse stopped for a while, the imperial guards arrived on horseback, they dismounted silently, without wiping the sweat from their foreheads, surrounded the city, facing outwards, with their backs facing the emperor, and guarded their surroundings.

The emperor slowly let go of Empress Yang's hand, and said meaningfully: "I have two doubts in my life, one is whether the third child is a military advisor who helped the elder brother, and the other is who was the real guest of the empress back then? I asked Jing Xihou, he said, he didn't know.

I think he dare not say it, or can't say it! "

Empress Yang pursed her lips, making her lips more rosy and charming.

"I had dispelled my doubts about the third child, but today he gave me a big surprise. He was unwilling to be the old man of Prince Jing's residence, and he led the army to fight against the barbarians.

You know Ayang's temperament, and I know it too. Even if he judges that the barbarians will not send troops south in the past few months, he will not hand over [-] soldiers to a fool who can't lead troops at all. "

The emperor touched Empress Yang's cheek, "What I am most proud of is that I am lucky, and I can always perceive it in advance. Tell me, is that man the third child?!"
