Chapter 788 The Emperor is Cheating (Twenty-Six)
Yongan Palace.
Min Huang sat below the Queen Mother, and was in a trance when he saw the "master and servant" pair who had such a tacit understanding.
“…”
What did I hear? Ah Xian, it was actually the Queen Mother's—
Well, it must be admitted that Min Huang is still young. Although he grew up in the harem, he has not been favored since childhood, and he and his mother have always been ignored.
He cautiously hid in his own palace and tried not to provoke other nobles.
And because Concubine Xie was unpopular, the concubines were too lazy to frame her.
I don’t know if it can be considered a blessing in disguise, but this mother and son, who lived their lives behind closed doors, managed to avoid many disturbances in the palace.
As for Min Huang, he now has a relatively "simple" living environment.
It can be said that when the young emperor came to Yongshou Palace, heard the thoughts of Queen Mother Wang and Ah Xian, and learned the true relationship between them, his three views collapsed.
"emperor?"
Queen Mother Wang had no idea that her secret had been discovered by Min Huang. As a woman who had been in charge of the harem for twenty to thirty years, her control over the harem far exceeded that of Queen Gu.
As for the previous dynasty, even though the Queen Mother had retired for several months, she still left behind a large number of people.
Therefore, Queen Mother Wang was the first to know about Min Huang beating Yu Heng with a stick in the court.
At that time, she smiled and said to Ah Xian: "See, I said that our little emperor is much more ruthless than the previous emperor!"
I am even more impatient.
I know he wants to monopolize power and I know he will burn bridges after crossing them, but this is a little too hasty.
He hasn't even completely taken control of the court yet, but he's already started taking action against the Yu family?
The Gu family's aristocratic class and the Yu family's military power are both very important to Min Huang.
Unless he has become a true emperor, otherwise, eliminating any one of them would be tantamount to destroying his own Great Wall.
"...Your Majesty can't be blamed. The Yu family has stayed in the northwest for too long!"
Ah Xian has followed the Queen Mother for twenty or thirty years and is no longer an ordinary woman.
She also has basic political common sense.
"The Northwest Army, a good official tool of the imperial court, has become the Yu family army!"
"People only know that the Yu family army fought bravely and defended the northwest border, but who knows that the huge amount of money and food consumed by the northwest army every year was allocated by the court!"
The imperial court provided money, food and pensions, which helped make the army famous as the "Yu Family Army".
It is estimated that in the Yu Family Army, those soldiers only recognized General Yu, but forgot who really supported them! "During the time of the previous emperor, he intended to take control of the military power."
"It's just that Yu Jue is cunning and actually resorted to the tactic of 'nurturing the enemy to protect himself'!"
"The barbarians from the northwest crossed the border town and marched straight in, almost attacking the capital."
"For the sake of the northwest defense line, the late emperor gave up the idea of taking back the military power of the northwest army. In addition, he also showed favor to the Yu family—"
Ah Xian was also quite emotional when talking about this past event.
The Yu family has its own army and is very powerful.
It has become a stumbling block to the imperial power.
But the northwest is particularly important——
Of course, the main reason why the late emperor did not take action against the Yu family was that he was old and sick.
He was about to die, and he did not want or dare to easily shake the stability of the border.
He passed the throne to Min Huang, and also entrusted the task of taking back the military power in the northwest to this heir.
Therefore, Min Huang's handling of the Yu family was not only a betrayal, but also a fulfillment of the late emperor's last wishes.
If Ah Xian understands this truth, the Queen Mother will understand it even better.
However, the Queen Mother had a personal grudge against Min Huang and was unwilling to speak well of him.
At this moment, facing Min Huang who came to pay his respects, the Queen Mother was not in a good mood.
Especially since Min Huang was looking at her and Ah Xian with a strange gaze, the Queen Mother felt offended and despised! "Min Huang!"
Finally unable to bear it any longer, the Queen Mother didn't even bother to call him "Emperor" and directly called Min Huang's name.
In her heart, she couldn't help but complain -
[This Min Jiu is really getting more and more outrageous! ]
[Does he think that if I return the power to him, he will be able to sit firmly on the throne? ]
[Humph, let alone anything else, just based on that incident, I can make him lose his reputation and become penniless! ]
[In the past, I still took into account our past friendship and was unwilling to take things too far. Now it seems that Min Jiu is indeed the son of the bitch Xie. Both mother and son are equally disgusting.]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Xie covets the position of Queen Mother and also wants to cling to my Ankang; Min Jiu, in alliance with Gu, wants to make my——]
[You were unkind first, so you really can't blame me for being unjust later. ]
Hearing Queen Mother Wang's words, Min Huang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
First, I lost control again.
Indeed, the true relationship between the Queen Mother and Ah Xian is truly shocking.
But who is he?
He is Min Huang, the emperor!
Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he shouldn't have shown any strange expression, but in the end, he showed the same expression in front of the Queen Mother! An old fox like the Queen Mother was cunning and good at observing people's words and expressions and guessing people's hearts.
I should have been extremely careful and cautious, but the result was -
no!
I can't do this anymore! Even if I have the ability to read minds, I can't let my guard down.
He must remain alert and cautious at all times, just as he had in the past.
Second, that year! That year again! Is the "that year" mentioned by the Queen Mother the same as the year that the mother was thinking of? And this thing seems to be about him, Min Huang.
Min Huang felt as if twenty-five mice were stuffed in his stomach, making him extremely anxious.
The most important thing is that in addition to doubts and curiosity, he also had a faint fear.
Ruined reputation? Lost everything? The Queen Mother's words didn't sound harsh.
Therefore, what happened “back then” must have been very serious.
Once exposed, he would most likely lose his throne!
Min Huang clenched his fists tightly. He hated the feeling of being "blinded" by others.
Especially after unlocking the ability to read minds, Min Huang began to like the feeling of being able to see through people's hearts and control everything.
But now, there is a major event concerning his own destiny. Queen Mother Wang and Concubine Dowager Xie all know about it, but he alone knows nothing.
"Check! We must check!"
After walking out of Yongshou Palace, Min Huang sat on the sedan chair. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was already furious in his heart.
"I want to start the investigation from 20 years ago. I want to see what happened 'back then'."
Min Huang was definitely not acting on impulse or deliberately getting angry.
He was used to being in control.
Only when you understand this secret yourself can you find a way to crack it.
He didn't want to be caught by the enemy and then be slaughtered by them!
