Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 632

Bamboo groves sprout new shoots.

It can be eaten raw, bitter and slightly sweet.

Let it grow, the bamboo shoots get rid of the bamboo clothes layer by layer, and become new bamboos again.

There is a bamboo forest in the Prince's Hall.

The emperor, Li Ping'an, seemed to be very careless on weekdays, always finding various tricks to hold banquets in the bamboo forest.

There are many women in the harem, and there is constant laughter all day long.

Sometimes some famous talents will be called to come and recite poems.

Not only did he like to hold banquets of various names in the palace, but also outside the palace.

Wherever there is excitement, I always want to join in.

Now that the Empress Dowager Shen is powerful, the little emperor looks like he's not doing his job properly, but it's a good fit.

But despite this, the censor in the court, who should be advised, will still advise, after all, the censor is famous for scolding the superior.

The queen mother and the others didn't dare to provoke her, so they kept their eyes on the emperor all day long, and it was a bit unaccustomed not to pick out three or five faults in the court every day.

On this day, Shen Guochao will meet.

After routinely criticizing the emperor's mistakes.

A courtier knelt piously in the court hall, and said respectfully:

"...It is suspected that the northern barbarians of Jing Kingdom were in turmoil on their own, and Emperor Jing led his troops to the north... A tribe full of women in the snowfield was captured and slaughtered..." This courtier who knew some inside information carefully considered his words and looked at the Queen Mother carefully. Zhao reported.

A tribe full of women under the snowfield... It should be the legendary Bat tribe. After the Empress Dowager Zhao came to power, she no longer shy away from her own birth, followed her example, and some courtiers who wanted to find another way to flatter her began to reverse the verdict on the Empress Dowager's life experience. I wrote a poem to praise the Bat tribe. It is simply said that this is a tribe rich in goddesses, self-reliant, full of songs and tears...

But the news reported by this courtier at the moment is naturally not very good.

Empress Dowager Zhao also froze for a moment, but soon calmed down again.

Last year's natural disaster, it is said that there were countless casualties in the Jing Kingdom, and it is no longer a climate. It is conceivable that the Emperor Jing would personally conscript such a small chaos.

There were also some courtiers who secretly thought that in Jingguo, where it was so cold and freezing, it would be better for them to beat themselves and kill them.

After reporting the situation in Jing country, let's talk about the situation in Manhuang.

"After the natural disaster, the wilderness was not affected much, and the business was developed. The magistrate of Minghe insisted on the wolf's ambition, and refused to enter Beijing. He might have two intentions. He suggested sending troops to suppress it..."

Speaking of wildness, there are many performances.

Now Shen Guo, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, prosperous, only Man Huang, an outlier, still has poems circulated from time to time, either scolding the court or mocking the court.

Everyone knew that Shen Xuegong was collectively exiled to the wilderness at the beginning, but now they didn't expect that those frail scholars not only survived, but also became famous on their own.

Now in the court hall, those who opposed the Empress Dowager Zhao disappeared, and the rest were those who supported and praised the Empress Dowager Zhao, and they didn't care about each other's face, but when the poems and essays passed down from the wilderness, they still hit their faces with burning pain.

"Manhuang is a part of the Shen Kingdom. These people just want to rebel, so they must be taught a lesson, otherwise everyone will follow suit..."

All the ministers talked a lot, and of course they all played against the Queen Mother.

Now in the court hall, the empress dowager sits in the middle, and the emperor Shen sits on the left, looking like a servant.

Empress Dowager Zhao tapped the chair with her hands, and the long armor made a slightly harsh sound.

Obviously under consideration.

He waved his hand and moved on to the next topic.

Then I heard the courtier say: "The Empress Dowager Gui of Xiguo passed away last night."

As soon as this news came out, the court was silent for a while, and soon calmed down again.

Originally, the Empress Dowager Xiguo had no sense of existence, so it was nothing to them.

From then on, only the Empress Dowager Zhao remained in Xi, Shen, and Jing countries.

Shen Guo is now in power with the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager has a high position and authority. The courtiers were worried that the Empress Dowager would be unhappy, so they just mentioned one sentence and stopped talking.

Li Pingan covered his mouth and yawned after listening to the courtier's performance.

It seems that I slept a little late last night.

The queen mother glanced at Li Pingan and snorted softly.

Return to the Prince's Palace.

Li Pingan kicked the bamboo tree in the yard heavily.

The bamboo tree shook for a while, but there was no change, but he felt pain in the soles of his feet.

He has been the emperor for a long time, but now he still lives in the Prince's Hall.

Although there are many women in the harem, he can't do whatever he wants. Once he really shows that he likes someone, the queen mother will find an excuse to execute him the next day.

Once, twice, three times, Li Pingan knew how to restrain himself, even if he liked a concubine, he would not show it, and he looked more and more wavy.

Empress Ye Min was in a bad mood when she saw the emperor going up and down.

very worried.

At the beginning, they experienced the killing in the palace, and the two depended on each other for life, and their relationship was very good.

But now that killing is a bit far away, life in the palace seems to have returned to the way it used to be.

And Li Pingan went from being uneasy at the beginning to being afraid to now being bored and bored.

He didn't want to live in the Prince's Palace all his life.

He is still young, but the queen mother will always grow old...

Hee country.

Empress Dowager Gui's funeral was very grand.

Xi Huangxi cried again and her eyes swelled.

He was really sad. Although he couldn't remember the past, he could really feel the empress dowager's care for him during this time.

He watched his mother's body deteriorate day by day until she died.

It seems to be the feeling of running out of oil and lamps.

He didn't like this farewell.

It seems that there is such a scene in mind.

In front of the mourning hall.

Shenyou sat on his knees.

She didn't even feel like crying.

Just sitting on his knees with no expression on his face.

She recalled the scene of meeting the queen mother.

In the beginning, she was a fierce and powerful woman.

At the first meeting, Xi Huangrong was in a coma, and the empress dowager still had no choice but to hold on.

While dealing with the seriously ill husband, he also calculated God Bless and his group.

When Xi Huangrong passed away, she endured calmly.

The courtiers made trouble, and she dismissed it forcefully.

After that, she copied scriptures in the imperial mausoleum and did not interfere with the government at all.

Then when the emperor disappeared, she came back to sit in charge.

At this moment, the woman finally passed away.

It was not the wind and cold that took her life, but the lack of remembrance.

Shenyou was terrified, seeing the life of Empress Dowager Gui like this would be like seeing the course of her own life.

It was the same in the palace back then, there was Concubine Xu Gui.

There was Princess Faey.

Regardless of the inside story, that's how it is.

She was suddenly terrified, terrified that she would be the same all her life.

She turned to look at the emperor beside her, her eyes were swollen from crying, Shenyou wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to do so.

Concubine Wan was kneeling beside the emperor, and Concubine Wan was crying too, probably thinking of her dead father.

She cried very excitedly, and then passed out crying in front of the emperor.

In this way, the emperor didn't bother to cry, he could only call the imperial doctor anxiously, and he sent Concubine Wan back together.

Then, the courtiers outside also knew that Concubine Wan was pregnant, and because of pure filial piety, she fainted from crying.

The courtiers were sad and happy.

The sad thing is that the older generation is gone after all.

The joy is that Xi Guo finally has someone to succeed him.

There was a lot of discussion outside.

Even for a while, his attention went to Concubine Wan.

The mourning hall was a little quiet.

The woman lying in the coffin was covered with a cloth and could no longer hear the movement outside.

Shenyou knelt down, his legs went numb, and he leaned against the coffin, holding his legs with both hands, and raised his head.

The tears still fell.
