"What a joke! How can a little girl like you bear witness? You are just afraid of the army outside the capital, so you are just delaying!"
Wang Chunqiu saw Shen Zhaozhao sitting in front of Zhan Nanxing and riding on the same horse with him, and roughly guessed that Shen Zhaozhao was Zhan Nanxing's wife.
Thinking of his grandson who had just died at the hands of Zhan Nanxing.
Wang Chunqiu was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He couldn't wait to grab the bow and arrow from an archer nearby, pulled the string to its full length, and let go.
The bow and arrow flew towards the bottom of the city wall with a sound of breaking through the air.
Unfortunately, Wang Chunqiu was a civil official and his archery skills were not up to standard at all.
Zhan Nanxing didn't even need to resist, the arrows would just fall into the moat under the city.
Not only did it not hurt Zhan Nanxing and Shen Zhaozhao at all, it also caused Guan Pingle to laugh at him unceremoniously.
"Prime Minister Wang, there is no need to rush at this moment. Why don't you take a look at the account book in Madam Wang's hand and see if it looks familiar?" Zhan Nanxing took the account book from Shen Zhaozhao's hand and held it high. "If you can't see it clearly, Wang can help you read it!"
Wang Chunqiu squinted his eyes and couldn't see the blue account book clearly from a distance.
However, after hearing what Zhan Nanxing said, my heart skipped a beat.
He still remembered that when the storehouse was lost, the Duobao Pavilion was empty...
"So this is the king," Shen Zhaozhao suddenly realized, "Then it seems that you don't recognize this account book. Didn't you just say that a little girl can't ask for a witness?"
"Come!"
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and shouted behind him:
"Let's make way for you and welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace!"
On the city wall, people had different reactions, some were in disbelief.
"Hasn't the Queen Mother been recuperating in the palace?"
"Why are you outside the palace?"
Some people who knew the inside story stared at the city wall with their eyes wide open.
This included Feng Li, who had a sullen face and stared intently at the people below.
The army made way for a path, and a small sedan chair was slowly carried over, with a eunuch in palace dress walking beside it.
"Get out of the sedan!" the eunuch shouted shrilly.
The sedan chair landed smoothly in front of the army.
The eunuch hurried forward, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped the empress dowager, who looked dignified, out from inside.
The Queen Mother stood still, her cold eyes swept over the people on the palace wall, and finally, her eyes shot towards Feng Li like a sharp arrow.
"Emperor, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you grown old?"
The Queen Mother's voice resounded throughout the palace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. May Your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years!" On the palace wall, some court officials knelt down and kowtowed first.
Soon, a large number of court officials knelt down.
Feng Li's face turned pale, and he tightly clasped the jade seal in his hand, as if it was the last straw in his control.
"All of you, please stand up!" the Queen Mother said in a loud voice.
"Miss Shen is right. My son was indeed replaced by the Wang family!" She stepped forward and looked directly at the court officials on the tower. "But as everyone knows, my son did come from humble beginnings."
On the city wall, all the court officials were in an uproar and couldn't understand what was going on.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. If the Wang family really replaced the Queen Mother's son, how would they know that this place would open the Dafeng Dynasty in the future?"
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Lu Ming gently reminded them of the truth, "So, your Majesty now is not the relative of the Queen Mother?"
All the court officials were silent for a moment.
Which Zhan family wants to rebel now?
It's basically a confrontation between the Queen Mother and the Emperor!
"My mother is old, and she has been deceived by thieves..." Feng Li gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled unnaturally.
"The Emperor interrupted me before I could even finish my words. Is this how you act as a filial son?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly and slowly raised her hand.
Some of the courtiers on the palace wall were sharp-eyed and immediately recognized the golden object in the Queen Mother's hand.
"Phoenix Seal!"
"That's the Phoenix Seal of Empress Xiao from the previous dynasty!"
The Queen Mother looked at the courtier, the old official, "Minister Liu, you have experienced the previous dynasty and Dafeng, no wonder you recognized my Phoenix Seal."
The Queen Mother suddenly raised her head and said, "Then please take a good look at my face, Minister Liu. If I were four years younger, would you still remember me?"
Minister Liu was 50 years old. He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, combining it with the golden phoenix seal. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
His lips began to tremble.
When he raised his hand, his fingers were shaking violently.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the former dynasty... Empress Xiao..."
There was another uproar on the palace wall.
"No, the Empress Xiao of the previous dynasty was already executed by the Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty!"
"Oh, the previous emperor Ai favored the evil concubine, deposed Empress Xiao, and sentenced her to death in the cold palace."
"You also remember this. At that time, it was said that the Demon Concubine dug the ground in the palace but couldn't find the Phoenix Seal, so she couldn't be crowned as the Queen."
But right now.
Empress Xiao survived.
The Phoenix Seal appeared.
Now it is in the hands of their Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is the Queen Xiao of the previous dynasty.
The courtiers were in disarray.
…
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, took the Phoenix Seal, and gathered her sleeves. "It seems that someone still remembers me. I am deeply relieved."
She opened her mouth and slowly explained what happened.
When 뎃.
She was also the queen of the previous dynasty. Her maiden name was Xiao, and she came from a large family entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.
She was trained to be a queen since she was young, and finally, she married into the palace and became the queen.
At first, the couple lived in harmony, but as the evil concubine entered the palace, the emperor became more and more cold towards her who was pregnant.
Due to the persecution of the evil concubine, the palace people around her were replaced.
놆She herself, under extremely difficult conditions, gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
At this point, the Queen Mother looked fiercely at Wang Chunqiu and Feng Li on the palace wall, "When giving birth, the female official next to me was none other than Wang Xiang's sister!"
"This blue account book clearly records how much money she spent, how many palace maids she bribed, and how she used a baby boy from her royal family to exchange for my son!"
"If you are interested, you can come and borrow it from Miss Shen to have a look!"
The Queen Mother said hatefully.
"Even if Your Majesty is not the Queen Mother's biological father, he is still the founding emperor of Dafeng!" Wang Chunqiu saw his colleagues whispering, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Your Majesty ended the chaos of the previous dynasty and fought wars everywhere. Are these glorious military achievements not as valuable as the Phoenix Seal in the hands of the Queen Mother, whose authenticity is unknown?"
Many people were cronies of the Queen Mother, and he, the Right Prime Minister, was very clear about this.
No matter what, he would not let the Queen Mother help the Zhan family and Guan Pingle to make the reputation of rebellion a reality!
The Zhan family is the traitor!
The Zhan family is plotting to usurp the throne, and they are ambitious people!
The Queen Mother laughed heartily, her robes fluttering in the wind, as if she had heard some very amusing joke.
However, Shen Zhaozhao was right beside her.
Watching the Queen Mother laughing and laughing until tears streamed down her face.
Zhan Jianxiao's old figure was no longer straight, but slowly hunched over, with a look of sorrow in his eyes.
Shen Zhaozhao sighed softly.
Others didn't know the details, but she and Zhan Jianxiao knew them very well.
The people who pacified the world at the beginning did not want to enthrone this emperor, but Princess Yongning!
