Chapter 508 The angry empress (requesting a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
"That's right," Zhao Duan nodded, organized the language, and said seriously: "This time, I rescued him in the rebels, it was also quite surprising..."
Immediately, he used as serious tone as possible to tell how he pursued King Heng, how the other party kidnapped Xiao Dong'er, and tried to slander, threaten, and slander him... and, the plan he envisioned was said:
"Although King Heng is arrested now, Qingzhou Road, as its old nest, will surely still have surplus, and the court's troops should be put into a more important battlefield at present.
As a local snake, the Xiao family in Donghu assisted the court and controlled Qingzhou Road, which was the best solution for "cost-performance ratio".
Not only that, in this way, there is also the effect of buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins. Not to mention anything else, the other royal merchant families in the Nine Paths and Eighteen Mansions will also be more inclined to Your Majesty because of this. ”
Xu Zhenguan listened quietly, but did not express his opinion on the pros and cons of his plan, but suddenly said:
"King Heng slandered you and framed you for having an affair with that widow? ”
…!! Zhao Duan was so alert that he made a big alarm, without hesitation, and sweared to the sky:
"Slander! Absolutely slander! I am full of public heart, and my heart is understandable to Your Majesty, let alone a widow..." Xu Zhenguan said quietly, "So, if you were not a widow, what would you do?"
Damn, no such provocative... Zhao Duan changed his words:
"I only have Your Majesty in my eyes, and the rest of the women are all vulgar and vulgar, which is not worth watching."
Xu Zhenguan seemed to smile, as if he didn't care much:
"I'm just joking. Zhao Qing's virtue has a reputation in the court. I can trust it."
...You seem to be connoting me... Zhao Duan was tense, his heart was full of slightness and smooth face. He carefully stared at Zhenbao's white and simple face for a while, and said carefully: "Your Majesty... Then..."
Xu Zhenguan thought for a moment and nodded, "The method you said is good, but whether it is allowed, I have to see Xiao Dong'er before I can make a decision."
Huh... I knew that Zhenbao, you are sensible, and the slander that King Heng could break with a poke, and a three-year-old child would not believe it. I will definitely not deceive you... Zhao Duan showed a warm man smile:
"She is in the team, now in the imperial city, guarding the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Camp. If your Majesty wants to see him, please order him to come and see him."
Xu Zhenguan glanced at him quietly and said with a smile:
"Your arrangement is appropriate. Since that's the case, I'll order someone to bring her to see me. By the way, you don't have to stay here. You can talk to Eunuch Hai and the others."
The implication is:
She wants to meet Xiao Dong'er alone.
Zhao Duanxin was inexplicably tense, but thinking that Mrs. Xiao was sensible and through the bottom in advance, he felt relieved: "Yes."
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye, and walked out of the imperial study room to get people.
Leave the empress to sit quietly in the room alone, playing with a jade pendant dyed with vermilion, dazed and dazed.
…
Not long.
Outside the study door, a female official led two imperial guards and escorted a woman to arrive. "Your Majesty, I've brought it." "Go out." Xu Zhenguan came to his senses and said lightly.
The people of the palace retreated, leaving only the dark horse-faced skirts. Mrs. Xiao, who had been dressed up on the road, was extremely respectful, lowered her head, cautiously, and walked into the threshold without panting. Her knees softened and she gently knelt on the Western Regions knitted carpet in the study.
"Minister Xiao Dong'er, please see Your Majesty!"
Xu Zhenguan had a slender light brown pen between his fair fingers, which was noble and majestic: "Rise your head." Xiao Dong'er was a little busy and raised her face carefully.
The cloudy hair is black, the face is round and grand, and the appearance is quite good. Due to the destruction of this period of time, the noble lady has become a little weak and pitiful.
Although he is a widow, he is just as mature as a woman in her thirties. She is a little bit soft and a little bit younger.
Especially the figure, with a protruding front and a raised back, full of femininity.
When Xiao Dong'er knelt on the ground and raised her head, and when she saw the Queen of Yu, her heart was pounding!
She was so amazed!
How could there be such a stunning and cold woman in this world, and both graceful and domineering?
Xiao Dong'er herself is an extremely outstanding beauty, but at this moment, when she looked at the empress, she felt a strong sense of shame!
"I am indeed the 'No. 1 widow in the Yu Kingdom' in the folk rumor, and I am indeed a good figure." Xu Zhenguan examined her for a moment and said lightly.
Xiao Dong'er was shocked and quickly lowered her eyes, and was in panic: "Your Majesty praised you, how could the appearance of a firefly girl in the eyes of your Majesty?"
Xu Zhenguan was condescending with elegant posture:
"Zhao Shaobao said a lot of good things to me just now, and he also traveled thousands of miles to take you back to Beijing and arrange for you to meet me."
Knock!
Although Xiao Dong'er is a woman, she can control the family. How come she is not a "human spirit"?
Just hearing this sentence, I felt uneasy and hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhao defeated Heng thief. The young woman was lucky enough to be rescued. She was grateful and dared not have any inappropriate thoughts. If she could work for Your Majesty, it would be the blessing of the entire Xiao family!"
Xu Zhenguan stroked the pen with her fingertips, and looked down at her with a bright eye like lacquer:
"I dare not have it, but I still have it."
Xiao Dong'er was anxious and argued in panic: "The girl in the civilians said nothing for a moment, and she had no intention..."
Xu Zhenguan suddenly chuckled, her voice was plain, but the words she threw were shocking:
"At the beginning, when you went to Beijing to seek the quota of the imperial merchants, you were not like this when you met Zhao Shaobao in private."
At the beginning, Mrs. Xiao and Xu Zudi went to Beijing together, secretly went out, and met in a private house called "Chengrong Xiaozhai" in the city.
This matter is quite secret, but later after his identity as an imperial merchant was exposed, the Heng Prince's Mansion had found a way to find out this section.
Before this, the Empress received a record of this private meeting from the hidden shadow guards in the city a long time ago.
Of course, because the private meeting is top secret, no one knows the specific process, but the empress knows this.
At this moment, he said this casually, but he had the intention of "deception".
Xiao Dong'er's body trembled, and a confused and aggrieved look appeared on her face:
"Your Majesty clearly understands that the young woman has indeed asked Lord Zhao, but from the beginning to the end, she only talks about official affairs and has nothing else!"
Xu Zhenguan narrowed her eyes and looked at her micro-expression. After a moment, she smiled sweetly:
"I didn't say anything, please get up quickly."
...
...
...
Outside the Hall of Peaceful Heart.
Zhao Duan watched Xiao Dong'er disappear from his sight and rushed to the imperial study room. After thinking about it, he did not go to see the returned acquaintance. Instead, he turned his head, turned a few turns, and arrived at a side hall.
At this moment, Yuan Li, wearing a sky-blue official robe with a handsome face and a vicissitudes of his eyes, sat upright alone in his hall.
Seeing him stepping in, he was slightly surprised: "Shaobao Zhao? But your Majesty wants to see me?"
After that temporary "report meeting", the ministers left one after another, but Yuan Li stayed here and tried to meet the empress.
Zhao Duan just came out and learned this news from the familiar female official. "Don't worry, Your Majesty is now meeting the head of the Xiao family in Donghu. I believe that you will have free time later." Zhao Duan walked over with a smile and sat down opposite Yuan Li: "I think Mr. Yuan may be bored here, so I will join in the fun." Yuan Li was stunned for a moment. The big blue-clothed man had a strange look, his lips and beard stretched out, and he smiled and said: "It's hard for me to keep my heart at home to relieve my boredom."
Zhao Duan waved his hand and said unhappily: "Mr. Yuan has been separated. I am only a temporary supervisor. I am only a third-rank rank. How can I be so virtuous? I can make Mr. Yuan so polite?" He said sadly: "I still remember that when I was lucky enough to defeat the Zhang brothers. When I left the palace, Mr. Yuan was condescending to the nobles. He took the same car with me who was only a seventh-rank at that time. He said, "It is not an exaggeration to know the kindness of meeting him."
Yuan Li was slightly lost.
It took just over a year, and he could have witnessed with his own eyes that Zhao Duan, from a seventh-rank little envoy, took a tightrope step by step, participated in the bloody storm of entering the court, and successively defeated one political enemy after another, thus killing him out.
Until now, even if we don’t mention the identity of “future royal husband”.
Also put aside the false title of the third-grade Shaobao.
No one in the court dares to underestimate his civil and military positions as the commander of the Shenji Camp.
Yuan Li had no doubt that as long as the empress could survive this "Eight Kings Rebellion", Zhao Duan would not die. With just his military achievements, Zhao Duan would be very likely to become the youngest rank in the history of the Yu State.
The most powerful minister!
How many years has it been taken by Li Yanfu to get to this point?
How many years has it taken for him Yuan Li?
"Heroes come out of teenagers..." Yuan Li sighed and exclaimed.
The child is determined to leave his hometown and will not return if he fails to learn to be famous... Zhao Duan silently answered the joke in his heart and smiled and said, "It's just a lucky person. Just as famous generals often come from troubled times, if possible, I would rather not wear this official robe than to have so many disasters in the world."
Yuan Li glanced at him deeply and said in surprise: "You didn't lie."
"..." Zhao Duan was sad: "In Yuan Gong's eyes, I am just an image that longs for fame and fortune?"
Isn't it? Yuan Li was shocked.
Zhao Duan coughed lightly, and did not tease him anymore. He became a little serious and tentatively said: "Mr. Yuan wants to see Your Majesty, but for the sake of Wei Xianzong?"
Yuan Li was not surprised and nodded calmly, with a sad expression: "Wei Xianzong surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the court, and his crime was extremely evil. This person was recommended by me at the beginning. Now that I have rebelled, I cannot refuse the blame. Therefore, I came to apologize to Your Majesty, severely punish Wei Xianzong, and severely punish Yuan. If this is not the case, it would not be enough to be heard in front of him."
He bowed and looked solemn: "I will resign from Your Majesty, resign from the position of Censor, be an idle person in Beijing, be a teacher, teach the students to teach me as a warning."
No... Old Yuan, you are not sincere now. At the moment, this link is at the moment of employment. How could Zhenbao agree?
Zhao Duan curled his lips, thinking that he was worthy of being an old Yin Bi in the court.
Heart and hands are black.
Yuan made this strategy just to follow the trend. Now that the Li Party has been defeated, only the Imperial Party and the Qingliu Party are left in the court.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
The former is still shallow, and the Qingliu Party became an unstable factor. As soon as Wei Xianzong surrendered to the enemy, Yuan Li simply did not wait for the empress to punish him and took the initiative to apologize.
If you put the blame on yourself first, it will be difficult for the empress to really punish him severely. "Mr. Yuan said it's hard for Your Majesty to do it." Zhao Duan sighed softly.
Yuan Li hurriedly waved his hand: "I have no intention of this, but I just feel that the sin is serious and I must not be punished."
He was a little suspicious that Zhao Duan was a group of people who were trying to investigate and survey the empress and were alert.
Zhao Duan looked at him seriously and said straight to the point: "Donald Yuan should know that the country of Yu is in turmoil and is at the right time to hire people."
Yuan Li was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by Zhao Shaobao?"
Zhao Duan pursed his lips and said: "I don't know much about marching and fighting, but I can also see that Wei Xianzong is a talent. After I arrested the Heng Prince's Mansion, I tried all the way back to Beijing. I learned that Wei Xianzong was a success, and I was forced to do so.
Then Xu Heng made a trap for him, set up a plan, grabbed his handle, and used this person's relatives to coerce, tempt, and tied up the pirate ship..."
The more Yuan Li heard, the more he became, the more wrong: "So?"
Zhao Duan smiled: "I wonder if Mr. Yuan can give up this person to me and teach him to make me me?"
This time, Yuan Li was really stunned, his expression became serious, and his body leaned forward slightly: "Do you dare to use him?"
Zhao Duan smiled casually: "What's not to dare?"
Yuan looked at him in a daze, and suddenly felt like he was deflated, sitting in the chair with a complicated look: "Heroes are young."
This is the second time he has made this comment.
Two times before and after, very different.
Of course he understood what Zhao Duan meant: cherishing talents may be true, but even if Zhao Duan really dares to use them, there is no need to come to him for it.
The reason why I came here was to go through the motions was clear:
The one who surrendered to the enemy was Wei Xianzong, who was your Yuan Li. Now that I am leaving, the charges of Wei Xianzong will be taken over by me, Zhao Duan.
This is undoubtedly taking the initiative to divide the blame for Yuan Li and sharing the responsibilities he will bear.
"Why?" Yuan Li's eyes were complicated and he joked, "I won't tell me, just because of the 'grace of knowing the favor'."
"I'm not so 'grace of repaying the favor'," Zhao Duan stood up freely and walked out, "I'll just share your worries for Your Majesty."
Yuan seemed to be thinking.
…
Leaving the flower hall, Zhao Duan walked for a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Mo Chou, who was standing quietly in the corridor outside the flower hall door at some point.
After handing a look, the two walked away tacitly.
"Is it still satisfying to eavesdrop?" Zhao Duan quipped.
With his current cultivation level, he naturally had already noticed that Mo Chou was coming outside the door.
The "female prime minister" had a stern face, without any shame or annoyance to hear the wall being pierced, but just stared at him fiercely: "What do you mean by what you said to Yuan Li?"
Zhao Duan curled his lips, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed softly: "I really don't know, how did you get the title of "female prime minister". I can't understand this? I ask you, is the balance of the party in the court important?"
Mo Chou frowned, resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and said with a cold face: "Of course it is important."
"But there is always something more important than this," Zhao Duan stared at her:
"Now that Your Majesty is in charge, even if the Qingliu Party in the court is strong for the time being, it will not be able to make a difference. But if you cut off Yuan Li, the leader of the Qingliu Party, at this moment, to balance, it is tantamount to pushing the families behind the Qingliu Party officials to the Eight Kings. This is unacceptable.
Now that the collapse of the Li Party means that there are a large number of vacant vacant in the court, this part can be used to promote new officials and cultivate the royal party, and the other part should be fed to the Qingliu Party members so that these people can be tied to the chariot of the court. "
Mo Chou suddenly realized:
"So, the charge of Wei Xianzong surrendering to the enemy is here. If Your Majesty does not punish Yuan Li seriously, he will not be able to convince the public. However, if Yuan Li severely punishes Yuan Li, it will make the Qingliu Party disunited and damage the overall situation.
So, someone must give His Majesty a step, and a reason. If you ask Wei Xianzong to be the one who passes the step.
With the military achievements you have made now, once you ask for someone, Your Majesty should allow you in your opinion and reason.
If Wei Xianzong was saved by you and even brought merits to atone for his sins, then even this commander who surrendered to the enemy was not severely punished. Yuan Li, who recommended him, would be even more unreasonable to be severely punished...
In this way, he not only maintained His Majesty's majesty, but also stabilized the Qingliu Party, and gave Yuan Li a favor... And what you lost was nothing more than the reward for this military merit... You don't lack this. "
Zhao Duan nodded with a smile: "Yes, it seems not too stupid. Follow Your Majesty in the future and use your brain more. "
Mo Chou was very angry when he saw him as a teacher and looked arrogant. The admiration that had just arisen in his heart disappeared.
Da Bingtuozi sneered and retorted: "You have the heart to teach me, why don't you go and see if Your Majesty is angry? Ha, I would like to remind you that Xiao Dong'er has been sent out of the palace." Zhao Du'an's face changed. He looked at the dowry maid deeply, turned his head and rushed to the imperial study room.
However, as soon as he entered the yard where the empress was, he was stopped by the familiar older female official: "Mr. Zhao stopped. His Majesty just ordered that she was a little tired and no one should disturb her."
Zhao Duan opened his mouth and pointed his face with his finger: "I want to go in, it's me."
He tried hard to emphasize his specialness.
The older female official smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that, especially Lord Zhao, you are not allowed to enter."
"..." Zhao Duan tightened his heart, realized that something was wrong, and scolded Xiao Dong'er in his heart, and told him intuition that it was definitely the meeting of these two women, which caused Zhenbao to misunderstand and get angry.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Look, Cai Xukun!"
"Ah?" The female officials were stunned for a moment, turned their heads and looked at it subconsciously, and then they felt a afterimage forcibly breaking through the blockade.
Zhao Duan easily bypassed the palace people and appeared outside the closed door of the imperial study room. He coughed lightly and raised his hand to knock on the door: "Your Majesty, it's me...ah!!"
A magnificent, vast, invisible wave of aura suddenly came, and Zhao Duan's face changed wildly. He was bombarded like a cannonball without any resistance, crossed the high wall, and fell out of the Palace of Yangxin.
"Get out."
The Queen's cold voice echoed in her ears.
Zhao Duan landed on the ground in a few steps, removed his strength, and felt the qi and blood tumbling, and the stressed energy slowly faded away.
He had a bitter face and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for my opinion... Damn!"
As soon as I read the word "See", Zhao Duan stood up, suddenly pulled away the afterimage and retreated violently.
The next second, where he was standing, with a "ding" sound, Taia'a's sword pierced into the ground, sank half of it, leaving the hilt of the sword trembling!
"Murder your husband..." Zhao Duan took a breath, feeling sad and angry, his strength was not as strong as others, and it was difficult to revive his husband: "But I can control the sword too..." "Come on the sword..." He reached out to grab it, then suddenly retracted, turned his head and ran away.
Behind him, Tai A Jian pulled it out on his own, as if he was held by an invisible hand and slashed at him:
"Get out!"
