I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Li Yaoyue stood there quietly, the moonlight shone on her body like water, making her look like a fairy from heaven and earth, beautiful in the world.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at her, and said rather speechlessly: "One or two months is enough to have a child, and you only think of looking for me now?"

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she didn't defend herself, but kept silent.

"I called you here two months ago to give you a chance to go back to Jinnan during the Chinese New Year. After all, during this period of time, you were still working hard in Zhenbaozhai. The biggest boss should also give you some rewards."

Fang Xiu looked at her and said lightly.

Back to Jinnan for the New Year?
Li Yaoyue was slightly taken aback, then looked at Fang Xiu suddenly, with hope in her cold eyes.

"It's a pity that you didn't come over at the time, so the truth dispelled this idea."

Fang Xiu then said again.

"."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue looked at Fang Xiu with very complicated eyes.

Fang Xiu looked at him indifferently, and said, "Don't look at the truth with this kind of eyes. There are many things in the world like this. Opportunities are fleeting. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

The so-called opportunity, isn't it up to you alone?
If you really want to reward me, why don't you let me go after two months?

Li Yaoyue slandered in her heart, and said slowly: "I hope you still remember to promise me."

Fang Xiudao: "Naturally remember, the Lilan in Zhenbaozhai has doubled, so you are allowed to go back to Jinnan to meet your emperor brother."

"I hope you will keep your promise."

Li Yaoyue said with a blank face.

She knew in her heart that with Fang Xiu's character, he would not go back on what he promised her.

But for some reason, she couldn't help reminding her.

"nature."

Fang Xiu nodded, remained silent for a few seconds, and spoke again: "But, before that, there are some things that require your cooperation."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue's heart skipped a beat.

Anything that involves the word "cooperation" gives people a feeling that it is easy and difficult to accept.

She really wanted to ask "what's the matter", but she was afraid that if she asked, it would only add to her troubles, and there was a tangle in her eyes.

Just at this time.

Fang Xiu's voice sounded again.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. On New Year's Eve, His Majesty held a dinner in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He originally planned to invite all the ministers, but considering that you are still in Chang'an, he changed his mind and invited you to the banquet."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, a thought instantly appeared in her mind.

The Empress Qian wants to invite her to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a banquet?

Could it be a Hongmen Banquet?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, she was vetoed by herself.

Because there is absolutely no need for Empress Qian to do this.

After all, she is now completely under Fang Xiu's control, unable to break free, she is like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Empress Qianguo really wanted to do something with her, all she had to do was discuss it with Fang Xiu, why bother to throw a grand banquet?
After rejecting this idea, a second thought popped up.

She attended the banquet as Mrs. Fang Xiu.

Or go to the banquet as the empress of Zhou?

"Not surprisingly, it should be the empress Zhou's identity, but why did the empress Qian do this?"

Li Yaoyue frowned slightly, lost in thought.

At this time, a voice interrupted her thinking.

"Don't think too much about it, I invited you just because the signing of the covenant between Qian and Zhou is about to take place, and the empresses of the two countries will go to the banquet together. After the newspaper reports, it will be the icing on the cake, and it will make Zhou more stable."

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and said in a flat tone.

After a pause, he said again: "The Ministry of Rites has already designated someone to attend the banquet.

Etiquette, tomorrow I will let someone from the Ministry of Rituals come to tell you about it, and about the dragon robe worn at the banquet, the Shangyi Bureau in the palace has already sewed it for you according to the regulations, and it can be woven in two days at most . "

"Um."

Li Yaoyue's cold voice sounded, and he just answered, but there was no other response.

Fang Xiu glanced at her, thought for a while, and still expressed his true thoughts.

"You don't have to be so vigilant. After all, you and I don't have a deep hatred. You were imprisoned in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning, but because of the force of the situation. Now that the Zhou Kingdom has been defeated in the war, you don't pose much threat to the truth and the court. The truth I won't do anything to you either."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she didn't know whether she should be happy, sad, or angry.

From the beginning to the end, she was a puppet at the mercy of others, and she had no chance to choose what she wanted to do.

Even if she is much freer now, it is only because of the defeat of the Zhou Kingdom. She, the former princess of the Zhou Kingdom, and now the empress of the Zhou Kingdom, can no longer cause any disturbances.

"It's getting late, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."

Fang Xiu didn't notice, and didn't bother to notice her complicated emotions. He waved his hand and said calmly.

Li Yaoyue looked up at Fang Xiu, wanted to say something, but felt it was meaningless, stood for a while, turned and left.

Fang Xiu glanced at her slender back, and suddenly some curiosity and anticipation arose in his heart.

I don't know what Li Yaoyue will look like in the dragon robe.

Should she appear more mature and intellectual than the little empress?
When Fang Xiu thought of this, the picture of Wu Mingkong and Li Yaoyue wearing dragon robes involuntarily appeared in his mind.

The empress sees the empress. Throughout the ages, this seems to be the first time.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu suddenly began to look forward to the dinner in a few days.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it will be five days later.

There are lights and festoons everywhere in the palace, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

dusk.

The sun will never set.

The fiery red glow covered the earth, bringing some warmth to the cold winter day.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the officials stood up according to their ranks, talking and laughing, looking relaxed and happy.

In a year, there are only one or two days when they can temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other in the palace and show a smile on their faces.

Boom!
A melodious bell sounded.

All the officials fell silent, and then they heard the shrill voice of the maid.

"Enter the palace!"

Several second-rank officials standing at the forefront looked at each other and walked towards the hall together.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are long tables on both sides, and there is a space in the middle for the dancers to perform their dances.

Because there are stoves in every corner, the whole hall is very warm.

All the officials stood upright and waited quietly in accordance with the rules specified in advance by the Ministry of Rites.

After a while.

The maid's voice sounded again.

"His Majesty is here!"

All the officials saluted without the slightest hesitation.

"Your Majesty, please see me!"

The little empress, who was dressed in a dragon robe, rarely wore rouge, and her fair and supple face looked extremely delicate and radiant.

She stood on the left side, looked at the officials saluting in front of her, and waved her hand: "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials saluted again, then stood up, still standing upright, waiting quietly.

After only a moment, the maid's voice sounded again.

"Emperor Da Zhou is here!"

When the officials heard the voice, they began to salute according to the etiquette specified by the Ministry of Rites, and shouted: "Greetings, His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor!"

Li Yaoyue, wearing a dragon robe, stood in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the right side of Wu Mingkong, looking at the officials saluting in front of him, with a dazed look in his cold eyes.

This year's experience, to her, was like a dream.

One second she was the carefree Princess Da Zhou, and the next second she became a poor wretch imprisoned in the house by her husband.

Then there is the long and boring life in the mansion.

It wasn't until Fang Xiu was assassinated by the assassins of the Yan Kingdom and a letter was sent from the Zhou Kingdom's palace that her boring life ushered in a turning point.

Fang Xiu allowed her to leave the mansion and promised her to return to Jinnan.

At this time, her identity has also changed from Princess of the Great Zhou, Princess of the Great Zhou, and the Prime Minister's wife to the Empress of the Great Zhou.

Such an experience, I'm afraid it can't be written in words.

Dazed for a few seconds.

Li Yaoyue regained consciousness, looked at Baiguan, and said slowly: "Excuse me."

The cold voice echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the officials stood up one after another and said in unison: "Thank you, His Majesty, Emperor Zhou!"

Immediately afterwards, under the arrangement of the maid of honor.

All kinds of delicacies, delicacies from mountains and seas were placed on the table.

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There are two long cases separately.

One on the left and one on the right.

The two empresses in dragon robes walked behind the long desk and sat down slowly.

After the empress took her seat.

All the officials also took their seats under the arrangement of the maids.

at this time.

A fourth-rank official looked around curiously, and asked, "Why didn't you see Fang Xiang?"

On the side, his colleagues echoed: "Yes! It stands to reason that Fang Ying should attend such an important occasion!"

The voice fell.

Honglu Temple Shaoqing Zhou Zheng gave them a squinting look, and said angrily, "Nonsense, even if none of you come, Prime Minister Fang will definitely come."

The official of the fourth rank really wanted to say: Since you are coming, why didn't you see Fang Xiang when you saw the ceremony just now?

No matter how powerful Fang Xiang is, he can't be rude, right?
Think so.

Suddenly, Her Majesty's voice was heard.

"Today is New Year's Eve. To remove means to get rid of. Xi means night. The so-called old year is here to get rid of and a new year will be replaced. Today's New Year's Eve is also a good day for the imperial court to get rid of the old and bring forth the new!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The hearts of all the officials jumped, and they subconsciously looked at His Majesty, feeling inexplicably apprehensive.

If they understand correctly.

What His Majesty meant was that she planned to remove the old and build the new in the imperial court.

Why remove the old and bring forth the new?

It means removing the old and ushering in the new.

So here comes the question, what is the old to get rid of, and what is the new to usher in?

Among them, which ones are considered old and which ones are considered new?

Every time a change is involved, the officials are always apprehensive.

Especially when there was no news beforehand, I was even more disturbed.

Not to mention the officials of the fourth rank, there are even several senior officials of the second rank.

Du Chen'an, Qin Xingyan, Qian Haonan, Sun Zhengying and others were also slightly dazed when they heard that the Empress wanted to remove the old and bring out the new, and then their hearts sank.

"I thought Fang Xiang didn't greet the two empresses because of his special status, but now it seems that there are other inside stories?"

"Could it be that"

Several Fang Party core members couldn't help thinking of a terrible result, and their hearts were extremely cold.

Just a few seconds.

The emotions of the officials became extremely complicated.

at this time.

The Queen's voice sounded again.

"The first thing to remove the old and make the new is that from now on, I, Dagan, and Dazhou will formally form an alliance and become a country of brothers! Emperor Dagan and Emperor Dazhou are the sons of heaven, and they call each other brothers and sisters!"

These words did not cause much reaction among the officials.

After all, a covenant was signed
The matter has been discussed for a long time, and most of them have already made psychological preparations, and the formal signing of the covenant is probably at this time.

Compared with the fact that His Majesty and Emperor Da Zhou called each other sisters, they were more concerned about Fang Xiang's whereabouts.

Where did Fang Xiang go?
Why hasn't it appeared at this time?

Just when they were uneasy.

Empress Wu Mingkong, who was wearing a dragon robe, suddenly stood up, looked around with bright eyes, and said in a solemn tone:
"The second thing to remove the old and build the new is to set up an interrelated Yamen between Dagan and Dazhou. After discussing with the Emperor of Dazhou, this Yamen is named Dagan and Dazhou's Council of Ministers!
In the meeting between Dagan and Dazhou's ministers of political affairs, one minister of political affairs and several political directors were appointed to agree on the government affairs of the two countries, and major military and state affairs were decided here! "

As soon as this word comes out.

All the officials were slightly taken aback, and then a burst of heated discussions erupted.

"The meeting between Dagan and the Minister of State and Political Affairs of the Great Zhou is said to be the yamen of the two imperial courts, but I always feel like there is another decision-making yamen added to the Ministry of Zhongshu and the cabinet."

"Agreement on the government affairs of the two countries, military and state affairs, your Majesty's words are not clear enough! This yamen is the Secretary of State, or the cabinet, which I Dagan and Zhou Guo share!"

"If military and state affairs are all decided here, is it the will of the two empresses that is greater, or the order of the meeting between Dagan and the Minister of State and Political Affairs of the Great Zhou?"

"Prime Minister Fang did not show up today, could it be related to this big cadre and the meeting of ministers of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Such important news, why didn't I hear a little bit of news before!"

At this moment, all the officials have no intention of attending the banquet, and their minds are full of the meeting between the big cadre and the ministers of the Great Zhou.

no doubt.

If the meeting between Dagan and Dazhou Ministers of State Affairs can really play a role.

The so-called alliance is actually almost the same as a merger!

It is nothing more than an empire, divided into two parts, with two capitals.

Among other things, Yan State has two capitals, one in the north and one in the south. It has two yamen and two six ministries, but it is the one in the north that makes the final decision, because His Majesty the Emperor Yan is the capital in the north.

Isn’t the establishment of the Dagan and Dazhou Conference of Ministers of State and Political Affairs the same as the situation in Yan State?
Wu Mingkong looked at the officials who were arguing a lot, with a calm expression, and did not interrupt them.

In fact.

This big cadre's meeting with the ministers of political affairs of the Great Zhou not only stunned all the officials, but also stunned her for a long time.

It was not until two days ago that Fang Xiu suddenly came up with the idea of ​​creating this yamen.

The two discussed together for a full night, and finally decided to announce the covenant together in front of all officials at the New Year's Eve dinner.

Undoubtedly, this meeting between Dagan and Dazhou's ministers of state affairs will definitely cause a storm in the courts of the two countries.

Especially the officials of the state of Zhou will react fiercely.

Therefore.

Fang Xiu wanted to cut the mess quickly.

With the empresses of both countries present, the establishment of this conference is legally determined!
