Looking back on everything that has happened during this period, Xiao Yunfeng actually has a shadow in it.

First, the Queen Mother and the Duke of Qi wanted Xiao Yunfeng to serve as Zhongshu Ling, but Emperor Yuanwu did not agree, which led to conflicts between Emperor Yuanwu and the Queen Mother.

Then, Lu Mingyong discovered that the boy next to Xiao Yunfeng was a "hermit".

Finally, this time such a big thing happened in the palace, and it immediately came back to Xiao Yunfeng.

Therefore, Xiao Yunfeng is absolutely inseparable from Wu Ti.

Maybe he is Wu Ti himself.

Emperor Yuanwu immediately ordered: "Take Xiao Yunfeng into custody immediately, and give the Duke of Yue the right to kill first and report later. If there is any emergency, he can decide how to deal with it independently without asking me for instructions."

After making this decision coldly, Emperor Yuanwu looked at the Queen Mother. The admiration that once filled his eyes was now only cold.

Facing the Queen Mother's pleading eyes, he said indifferently: "Mother, I did not reveal this matter in front of the courtiers today, which is the greatest tolerance I have for you."

"But you were instigated by an adulterer and used by others to drug me, which is an unforgivable crime. If I continue to tolerate it, sooner or later this country will be in your hands."

The Queen Mother seemed to realize something, and she became extremely angry. She shouted: "Changsun Ce! I am your biological mother!"

Emperor Yuanwu was stung by these words about his biological mother. He couldn't help shouting angrily: "I am the emperor first! Then you are your son! I am a member of the eldest grandson's family first, and then you are your flesh and blood!"

The clan members all lowered their heads and did not say a word. They could not intervene in the conflict between the two masters in the imperial city.

After calming down a little, Emperor Yuanwu stated calmly: "Mother, this is enough, don't force me to take the last step."

Because of his mood swings, Emperor Yuanwu continued to cough, and the blood spattered on the desk, which was shocking.

He didn't care and said his verdict: "Mother, Qingning Palace has been destroyed. I will create a pure place in the harem and ask a few big Buddhas to worship it. In the future, you and Yuzhen can eat and worship Buddha there.

!”

The Queen Mother took a few steps back as if she was exhausted: "There was a fire in Qingning Palace. Instead of going to find the arsonist, you came to judge your mother instead? Changsun Ce, you are so cruel!"

Emperor Yuanwu said calmly: "Mother, do you want to find out with me the cause of the fire in Qing Ning Palace? Are you sure?"

The Queen Mother stopped talking.

She didn't dare, she didn't dare say that Jingxin was still alive.

Prince Fu, who rarely participated in political affairs, had a particularly tough attitude this time. He said: "Queen Mother, cherish the last bit of dignity your Majesty has given you, otherwise the clan will ask your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Xiao family."

The Queen Mother stared at King Fu fiercely: "How dare you!"

King Fu said loudly: "Why don't you dare?! I am the head of the clan. State ministers have no right to interfere, but household ministers have the right to make clear arrangements!"

"You are the queen mother of a country, but you try to control the nine-fifth emperor. As a mother, you drink the love potion for your son and push your son onto the woman's bed."

"Whether you are the queen mother or mother, you have failed! What's even more failed is that you didn't even know that the medicine was replaced with a poison! Stupid!"

Old King Fu was kind-hearted and fat, and he was kind and gentle to everyone. Whatever problems the clan encountered, he would always solve them in a peaceful way. He rarely spoke harshly. It seemed that he was really angry.

As soon as he opened his mouth, no one in the clan objected, because this chubby old man made the final decision on many matters in the clan.

Finally, King Fu expressed his attitude: "I support your majesty's decision. After the temple is built, I will ask the queen mother to live in it with peace of mind. I will keep a record of the crime of poisoning your majesty. If there is another incident, the queen mother will be deposed in history."

precedent."

As soon as these words came out, no one thought it was shocking, because King Fu had this power.

In terms of power, the emperor could easily depose the queen mother, but due to ethical and moral constraints, no one in history has directly deposed the queen mother.

Therefore, Emperor Yuanwu adopted the method chosen by many emperors and directly placed the Queen Mother under house arrest when she made serious mistakes.

However, as the head of the clan, Prince Fu, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, could join forces with ministers to initiate the process of deposing the Queen Mother as long as he poisoned Emperor Yuanwu in the name of the clan leader.

Prince Fu's tough side frightened the Queen Mother. She just felt that this old fat man was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Although it is true that she was used to poison the emperor, was the emperor poisoned? She was still alive and well, so why was she accused of such a big crime?

But she forgot where Prince Fu was.

Whenever there is a threat to the country, even if it does not happen, just thinking about it is an unforgivable sin.

What the Queen Mother did not only violated the law, but also violated the bottom line of the clan, so her punishment was relatively light.

Emperor Yuanwu no longer looked at the panicked Queen Mother, stood up slowly, saluted the elders as juniors, and said: "I have caused trouble to you all."

Everyone didn't understand what Emperor Yuanwu meant. Their Majesty wanted to protect his mother! That's why he lowered his stance.

When things got to this point, everyone just went down the slope. After all, the emperor is the master, and they, the ministers, cannot push the master's mother to death.

But King Fu did not immediately express his attitude to everyone, but asked: "Your Majesty, what happened to the fire in Qingning Palace?"

Emperor Yuanwu explained: "After I took the drug to stimulate excitement, I felt something was wrong, but the Queen Mother at that time could no longer listen to her advice, so I could only find ways to warn the Duke of Yue."

"The fire in Qingning Palace was caused by people sent by the Duke of Yue to rescue me. They were not assassins. They just wanted to make a big noise so that I could be rescued."

"It's fortunate that there was this fire, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wait for the Emperor's uncle to come to rescue me. I'm afraid it would have been..."

King Fu glanced at the Queen Mother coldly and said: "Your Majesty is not usually such an impetuous person, so how could you be willing to drink a drug to enhance your happiness?"

Changsun Tao said: "Because the Queen Mother threatens the woman His Majesty likes."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone became restless.

In the eyes of everyone, you should be perfect. In your heart, the country, the country, and the country should be the most important thing. How could you be threatened by others for the sake of a woman?

Emperor Yuanwu also knew that the time had come for him to give Zhizhi an identity.

He looked at the people with different thoughts and said: "This woman almost lost her life for me just now, and now she is in danger. If it were not for her, I would be a cold body at this moment. I am grateful for her kindness and want to give her

A due reward.”

Everyone seemed to be able to guess what Emperor Yuanwu was going to say, and they immediately whispered among themselves, appearing unwilling to give Emperor Yuanwu a chance to speak.

The Queen Mother firmly opposed it: "The Ai family disagrees!"

The eldest princess, who had always been silent, spoke. She looked at the Queen Mother with a half-smile, and lightly opened her red lips: "I think the Queen Mother will definitely agree."

The Queen Mother knew what the eldest princess was saying, and she had no choice but to keep silent no matter how dissatisfied she was. Now that the Emperor did not accuse the Xiao family, it would be over if he brought up the murder of the First Queen Mother.

The eldest princess withdrew her mocking eyes and asked leisurely: "What? Do you think merit should not be rewarded?"

Naturally, everyone did not dare to respond to this difficult ghost and closed their mouths one by one.

Emperor Yuanwu glanced at the eldest princess gratefully and said: "This woman is the saint of southern Xinjiang and also my personal guard. I want to make her my queen."

The clan immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this is impossible! There is no precedent in Great Qin for a foreign race to become the successor!"

Emperor Yuanwu said loudly: "There is no precedent, so let me set the precedent. I am not asking for your opinion, I am just informing you about this matter. If I want to establish a queen, then there is only one person in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and that is Lan Ling

spirit!"

Emperor Yuanwu looked at the Queen Mother and ordered: "Send the Queen Mother back to the palace and prepare the Buddhist hall within ten days so that the Queen Mother and Yuzhen can concentrate on the Buddha."

After saying that, Emperor Yuanwu coughed violently several times, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and was helped away by Eunuch Lu.

The Queen Mother was also taken down by the palace officials.

Everyone looked at Changsun Tao and the eldest princess, who looked calm, and asked: "How can your Majesty marry a Nanman? This is against the ancestral tradition."

The eldest princess said: "I think it's better for you to shut up until you don't know the truth."

King Liang looked at Changsun Tao and asked: "King Qi, what is going on? Do you know anything?"

Changsun Tao said: "His Majesty has made the matter very clear, that is, he wants to make the Lingling girl who saved his life his queen. If you are not willing, the next time His Majesty is in danger, you will sacrifice your lives to save His Majesty.

Is that possible?"

King Liang said displeasedly: "King Qi, how can you talk like this?"

Changsun Tao said: "The matter is in front of us. It is quite clear. Your Majesty has just suffered such a big blow. As elders of the clan, please don't jump out and point fingers at Your Majesty now and try to interfere with His Majesty's decision."

"If you don't believe my words or listen to my advice, go and see the dozens of corpses lying at the door of the kitchen. The blood is still hot!"

The eldest princess is naturally of the same faction as eldest grandson Tao. After hearing this, she added: "What happened in the palace is not as simple as what we see. Don't get into trouble now."

"As our ministers, what His Majesty says is what he says. The Queen Mother has set a precedent before our eyes. Everyone should act carefully. Those who do not underestimate their own capabilities will not end well."

Changsun Tao rolled up his sleeves and left, preparing to visit Lan Lingling, solve Xiaoqian's problem, and leave this place to the eldest princess.

The emperor wanted to establish a foreign tribe as his queen, which had no precedent in the Qin Dynasty. He had said before that this was impossible.

But now he is willing to do his part for this poor nephew, out of sympathy for the same illness, and also because of Miss Lingling's life-saving grace to Yan Yan.

But passing this level does not mean that you will be able to overcome many obstacles.

There are too many representatives from the lower positions, and the entanglements surrounding the interests of the lower positions are intricate.

Clan, courtiers, and common people.

These can be big obstacles.

There is a long road ahead. There is still a long way to go to make Miss Lingling your queen. It depends on your Majesty's courage and determination, as well as your skill and courage in dealing with the courtiers and clan.
