Daji arrived late.
After seeing Ying Yuan, he slowly asked, "Your Majesty, is my mother here to see you about Sister Feiyan?"
Hearing this, the latter nodded and responded: "That's right."
Daji's heart tightened.
She knew in her heart that the empress dowager held an extraordinary status in the country.
Back then, it was definitely not the Empress Dowager's wish that His Majesty ascended the throne, but the late Emperor's decision against all odds.
As a result, the empress dowager has always had some hatred towards the emperor.
He wants to rule the country from behind the scenes.
If the Queen Mother takes this opportunity to attack Your Majesty, how will Your Majesty deal with it?
Thinking of this, Daji couldn't wait to ask: "How does your majesty deal with it? If it really doesn't work, then I will step in."
Her approach was to take all the responsibility on herself.
At that time, the emperor could explain to his ministers that it was because he listened to their advice that he took a woman from the mortal world into the harem.
However, Ying Yuan's answer surprised her, "I haven't discussed this issue. I'll let the world see me as they please.
The woman I like, you, or Zhao Feiyan, no matter what your identity is, I will not be afraid of any criticism from the world.
As for the Queen Mother...I did not discuss that issue with her, but wanted her to rule the country from behind the scenes."
As soon as the words fell.
Daji's eyes widened.
The first half of the sentence made her feel a sense of happiness welling up in her heart.
My heart feels so sweet.
When she said the last sentence, she felt what it was to be terrified.
Let the Queen Mother rule the country from behind the curtain?
If she truly holds power, will Your Majesty still have a way to survive?
In a hurry, she blurted out, "Did the Queen Mother agree?"
Ying Yuan shook his head. "What I don't understand is that she didn't agree and just turned around and left."
In fact, he was quite happy about the fact that Zhao Feiyan was canonized as a concubine.
Because people would definitely say that he disregarded the dignity and rules of the royal family for the sake of a mortal woman.
As the situation developed, it eventually alarmed the Queen Mother.
Ying Yuan was so happy that his heart was filled with joy.
However, nowadays...
My mood hit rock bottom again.
Everything is gone.
Hearing this, Daji frowned slightly and did not respond.
Because she didn't quite understand the Queen Mother's behavior.
However, what confused her even more was why His Majesty wanted her to rule the country from behind the scenes?
What benefit will it bring to His Majesty by doing this?
Sudden.
Daji figured out the key.
Does Your Majesty want to retreat in order to advance?
After all, when a national disaster breaks out, a scapegoat is indeed needed to be written into history books.
After much thought, it is indeed safest to let the Queen Mother be the scapegoat.
Moreover, according to Your Majesty's current methods, waiting for an opportunity to seize power will not be a big problem at all.
In this way, the puppet is no longer the Emperor, but the Queen Mother!
Your Majesty's move...
What a great walk!
Daji's eyes lit up and she looked at Ying Yuan with an almost worshipful look.
The latter had already closed his eyes and was thinking of various ways to let the empress dowager rule the country from behind the curtain.
......
evening.
The emperor's bedroom.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Yun and several other guards detained a eunuch in front of Ying Yuan.
The former bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this man's name is Gao Lishi. Through my investigation, I learned that he is in cahoots with the Queen Mother.
He has been constantly reporting news of you to the Queen Mother, intending to frame you. This person should be executed along with his entire clan. I hope Your Majesty will make the final decision."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan was a little surprised.
It’s not that I’m surprised by what Gao Lishi did.
But it was because the other party's name surprised him.
Gao Lishi.
A powerful eunuch who was once in the service of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
He is also a notorious traitor.
He never expected that the little eunuch who was tied up with hemp ropes, kneeling in front of him and trembling, was actually Gao Lishi.
This is really...
God helps me.
When he thought of this, Ying Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.
He looked at Gao Lishi carefully.
The latter was so frightened by the emperor's gaze that he knocked his head to the ground repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, I will never do it again. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Betraying the emperor, you don't have to think about it to know what kind of crime it is.
Normally, being torn into pieces by five horses or cut into pieces are minor matters.
So, Gao Lishi wanted to live, and he was now feeling extremely frightened.
Ying Yuan asked in a deep voice, "When did you start helping the Queen Mother?"
Gao Lishi said bluntly: "I...I was recruited by the Queen Mother when Your Majesty first ascended the throne...
But...but...it was the Queen Mother who coerced me, not me willingly. If I didn't agree, the Queen Mother would have killed me!"
"Bastard! Don't tell me you won't die if you betray His Majesty?" Zhang Rang shouted angrily.
Recently, he has been looking for an opportunity to make a contribution in front of the emperor so that he can be noticed by the emperor.
And thus become a person like Wei Zhongxian.
Unfortunately, nothing happened that was worthy of the emperor's attention.
It was not until he discovered the connection between Gao Lishi and the Queen Mother that he quickly realized that Gao Lishi was a chess piece placed by the Queen Mother next to the Emperor.
It's a traitor.
It must be eradicated!
