The gods of the gods

Chapter 9 Tianxiang Cardamom
In the palace, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager listened to the ditty as usual, chatting with some concubines in the harem to relieve boredom, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.The Empress Dowager waved her hand lightly, and the room suddenly became quiet, followed by the voice of "The Emperor is here."

"It turns out that the emperor is here," the queen mother waved her hand and said, "You guys go down first for now!"

"Yes, obey the order." The singing, singing and dancing maids and others retreated neatly, leaving only a few concubines in the harem.

"Greetings to the mother, baby." Emperor Zhengde bowed and saluted after entering the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Several concubines sitting at the side also stood up at this time and bowed to Emperor Zhengde, "See Your Majesty."

The queen mother looked at the calm Emperor Zhengde, frowned slightly, raised her hand and said, "The emperor is welcome, come and sit down. You all go down too!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager." The concubines also bowed and saluted, and then they left the Palace of Compassion and Ning with lotus steps.

After Emperor Zhengde got up and sat on the other side of the queen mother, the queen mother was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't the emperor come to pay his respects at Chenshi in the past? It seems that the morning court has just ended, and today he came so early, is there something wrong?"

"The queen mother is wise, and I really have something to ask the queen mother for help." Emperor Zhengde said with a light smile.

"Oh! What made you, the emperor, come to ask me, an old woman, for help? Let's hear it." The Queen Mother joked a bit.

Emperor Zhengde said sternly, "I came here this time to ask my mother for something."

Seeing the seriousness on Emperor Zhengde's face, the Empress Dowager's expression also became serious, and she said rather puzzled, "Oh! The Empress Dowager is very curious about the thing that can make you so anxious to get it earlier, what is it? "

Emperor Zhengde said word by word, "What the child wants is the heavenly fragrant cardamom that the father and the emperor gave to the mother."

"Tianxiang cardamom?" The queen mother frowned suddenly, looked at Emperor Zhengde with some doubts and said, "What does the emperor want this Tianxiang cardamom? Although this Tianxiang cardamom has the ability to bring the dead back to life, I only have one in my hand. Freezing a person's life at the moment before death, making him a living dead, cannot really bring people back to life."

"This child is naturally clear." Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "But the reason why I want this Tianxiang cardamom is because I made a deal with a person. And the queen mother should also know that there are only two Tianxiang cardamoms left in the world. Even if the mother keeps it This one is just tasteless in my hand."

"A deal?" The queen mother was a little puzzled, "You are an imposing son, and you still need to make a deal with someone? And you use the rare Tianxiang cardamom in the world? Since the Tianxiang Kingdom was destroyed, the cultivation method of Tianxiang cardamom has disappeared. Afterwards, there were only three such treasures in my royal family back then, and now there are only two left in our hands. This is a priceless treasure! How can it be traded?"

"Mother." Emperor Zhengde said sternly, "Tianxiang cardamom is indeed a rare treasure in the world, a rare treasure in the world, but if it is used to exchange for the stability of my Daming country for decades, my child thinks it is worth the money."

"The stability of Daming Jiangshan for decades?" The queen mother fell silent, and sighed after a while, "The emperor is right. Although fragrant cardamom is a rare treasure in the world today, if it can be exchanged for Daming Jiangshan for decades The stability is indeed worth the money, but can you tell the queen mother about this matter in detail?"

"Of course it is possible." Emperor Zhengde said with a smile, "The queen mother should know that one of the three heavenly fragrant cardamoms in the royal family was in your hands, one was in my hands, and the last one was in the hands of the emperor's uncle. You should be aware of the one in Uncle Huang's hand, he used it to feed Su Xin."

"Three pieces of Tianxiang cardamom can really bring people back to life, what does the emperor mean?" The queen mother seemed to understand a little bit.

Emperor Zhengde looked a little indifferent and said, "Uncle's martial arts is the best in the world, and he is in charge of Hulong Villa. His subordinates have the most top intelligence in the world, and there are countless masters who have been secretly trained. Although Hulong Villa is restrained by Dongchang, it can I don't think Cao Zhengchun can do anything to the emperor's uncle. Once Cao Zhengchun is destroyed, Hulong Villa will inevitably grow rapidly, and then threaten my throne."

"Is the emperor worried that Shenhou will rebel in the future?" The queen mother naturally understood what Emperor Zhengde meant.

"Even if I don't rebel, I will definitely be emptied by him. At that time, what will be the difference between me, the emperor, and a puppet?" Emperor Zhengde said lightly.

"The emperor intends to use this day's fragrant cardamom to blackmail Shenhou? But does Shenhou really care about Su Xin?" The queen mother hesitated.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Queen Mother. I didn't intend to blackmail the emperor's uncle. With the emperor's uncle's martial arts, who in the world can blackmail him? I just see that the emperor's uncle is getting old and there are too many worries in Hulong Villa. Rescue Miss Suxin as soon as possible, so that he can complete the regrets of his life and spend his old age in peace. In this way, everyone will be happy."

"If the emperor thinks this way, the mother will feel relieved." The queen mother said lightly, "The emperor has been in charge of Hulong Villa for more than 20 years. He has worked hard all his life and solved too many problems for the royal family. In my eyes, if you can think of a way to get the best of both worlds, it would be great."

"Just wait for me." The queen mother said, and then walked into the inner hall, and came out after a while, holding a sandalwood box in her hand and handing it over. "This is the Tianxiang cardamom that the late emperor bestowed on Ai's family. Unfortunately, although it is a rare treasure, it is only effective for seriously injured and dying people."

Emperor Zhengde took the wooden box and put it in his sleeve, then smiled and said, "If it wasn't for this, the child would never ask the queen mother for this heavenly fragrant cardamom."

"The emperor's filial piety is naturally known. The state affairs are the most important right now, so the emperor should go early! After appeasing the gods, there will be no worries in my Ming Dynasty. The emperor can govern the country with peace of mind, and I can enjoy the peace of my mother. Old age." The queen mother couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's the child who is not filial. You have made my mother bother you all these years." Emperor Zhengde said with shame, "But it will be different in the future. The child will appease the emperor and Dongchang as soon as possible, so that you will no longer have to worry about it, and you can be happy Enjoy every day."

"Yeah!" The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Then go!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After Emperor Zhengde bowed and saluted, he turned around and strode away from the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

After leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, Eunuch Sun followed behind Emperor Zhengde and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you going back to Qianqing Palace?"

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "We're not going to Qianqing Palace, let's go to Princess Yunluo's."

"Princess Yunluo." Eunuch Sun was a little surprised. In the past, the emperor had the most trouble with this younger sister. He wanted to avoid her when he saw her. How could he think of seeing Princess Yunluo today?Although he had some doubts in his heart, he naturally wouldn't ask as a slave shouldn't ask, so he nodded quickly and drove to Princess Yunluo's mansion.

"Princess, princess, your majesty is here." In the palace of the princess, Xiao Nu yelled and rushed into Princess Yunluo's room.

"What? Brother Huang is here?" Princess Yunluo said in a daze, "Brother Huang deals with government affairs all day long. He used to hide from me when he saw me. Why did he come to my princess mansion today? Could it be that Brother Huang Do you need me? It happens that I have nothing to do when I’m free, so let’s go and see Brother Huang.”

As soon as Yunluo walked out of her yard, she heard the voice of "The emperor is coming", and immediately saw Emperor Zhengde striding towards her.

"Brother Huang! Why do you have time to come to Yunluo today?" Seeing Emperor Zhengde, Yunluo strode up and asked carelessly.

"Of course I have something to look for you." Emperor Zhengde smiled, and then waved his hands, "You all go down first! I have something to say to the princess."

After everyone went down, without waiting for Emperor Zhengde to speak, Yunluo spoke first, "Brother Emperor, what is the matter! You can talk about it now!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Brother Huang came here this time to ask you for something, but this matter is not serious, it's just that it should not be leaked."

"Oh! Ask me for something?" Princess Yunluo thought about it, "I have what I have here, and the palace should have it! Brother Huang asked me what I want?"

"Little Mermaid Pearl." Zhengde said with a smile, "If you give me the Little Mermaid Pearl, Brother Huang has a copy of the martial arts secret book of Jade Girl Swordsmanship in exchange, what do you think?"

"Jade Girl Swordsmanship? Are you talking about the Kunlun School's Jade Girl Swordsmanship?" Princess Yunluo was overjoyed, but soon she suddenly showed a mischievous smile, "Hey! Brother, the Kunlun School's jade girl swordsmanship is so powerful If you are willing to give me all the martial arts, then this little mermaid pearl will be even more precious!"

Emperor Zhengde shook his head slightly and said, "Yunluo, this little mermaid pearl is not precious, but there is something hidden inside it, and this thing is related to the future stability of my Ming Dynasty, so I exchanged it for you with the Jade Girl Sword Technique. "

"It has something to do with the stability of my Daming country!" Yunluo pouted and said, "I thought it was some fun thing! Since you want it, Brother Emperor, I will give it to you. Little slave, hurry up and give me my one." Bring me the little mermaid pearl." Yunluo shouted into the distance.

"Yes." Xiao Nu's voice came from a distance, and after a while, Xiao Nu came over and handed over a pearl.
