Chapter 104: Change to Dried Radish
Teaching him to do whatever he wants, teaching him not to listen to advice, teaching him to kill court officials indiscriminately, this is not how to teach him how to be a king.
This is clearly the way of a tyrant.
What is his intention?
The Queen Mother pretended not to see all this.
"You...he taught you with all his heart, and you still slander him? I feel so disappointed for him."
"Isn't she just a little girl? I've already compensated her, what else does she want?"
The Queen Mother also hated Bai Qinghuan to death. If she hadn't deliberately caused trouble, how could Yizhi have suffered such a punishment?
This is an unprovoked disaster for him.
His Majesty felt that his mother had lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
"How long will the Queen Mother continue to be stubborn and stubborn?"
"It's not that I am stubborn and unwilling to change my ways. It's that you, the Emperor, handled the situation inappropriately."
"Inappropriate? Only the Queen Mother thinks it's inappropriate, right?"
"I don't think the courtiers will agree to this."
When the emperor mentioned the court officials, his heart turned cold.
"Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs!"
This is his bottom line.
"Yizhi's disciples are all over Dongxi. You will chill the hearts of his subjects by doing this."
The emperor's teacup slammed to the ground:
"Yes, they are all over Dongxi. Does my mother want to incite them to rebel or does she think it would be better for me to give the throne to him?"
The Queen Mother staggered and took a few steps back, almost falling down. She pointed at His Majesty with a trembling hand and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Mother didn't mean that."
His Majesty stared straight into her eyes, as if trying to see through her heart:
"Does the Queen Mother really not have this idea?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes were evasive, and the Emperor felt that there was no way to communicate. When he met Yun Yizi, the Queen Mother lost her mind and blindly favored him.
If he really gave up the throne to Yun Yizi, his mother would agree, right?
After all, in her heart, her father was not even half as good as Yun Yi.
A strong feeling of powerlessness came over him, and he could no longer muster any energy.
"Mother, is it worth it?"
The Queen Mother seemed to be recalling the past, tears rolled down her eyes, and there was a sense of sadness all over her.
He murmured, "It's worth it, because he is Yizhi."
"He had one arm bitten off and multiple fractures. It must have been painful."
After a long while, she wiped away her tears and her tone became cold again: "I will ask you again, can you restore his title of Grand Tutor?"
The emperor was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs ached. He would never compromise this time.
"I will never take back my words."
"Okay, so you don't recognize me as your mother?"
"He has grown up and become so powerful that he has begun to disobey me."
The Queen Mother stormed out of the Imperial Study.
When Concubine Yun heard the door open, she quickly hid aside to avoid being seen by the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's words were useless, she could only leave in shame.
If he goes over there now, His Majesty won’t dare to vent his anger on the Queen Mother, as it will definitely fall on her.
She didn't want to suffer that.
It is also possible that Zhuo Xu would be implicated.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the news that the Queen Mother announced a hunger strike spread throughout the harem.
After hearing this, His Majesty felt tired.
"Desheng, do you think I am really her son?"
What kind of mother is she who threatens her son for outsiders at every turn and is so heartless?
If she hadn't been obsessed with love after giving birth to him, how could she have neglected his care and let him be...
The past is too painful to recall!
The last bit of tolerance for the queen mother disappeared when she went on a hunger strike.
If this matter gets out, people will only say how disobedient and unfilial this emperor is.
The Queen Mother really doesn't care about his reputation at all.
But this time, she miscalculated, and he would not compromise again.
"Desheng, I will also start a hunger strike starting today."
Isn’t it better than fasting?
Let’s see who can hold out?
Desheng was stunned: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, the dragon's body cannot be damaged."
"Humph, I won't live for many more years anyway."
"Send a message to the imperial kitchen. No more meals need to be prepared for me and the Queen Mother."
Desheng was helpless. The emperor would not listen to his advice, so he could only go and pass on the message. But before he left, he still said with concern: "Your Majesty, you really don't want to eat anything?"
The emperor said unhappily, "What do you think?"
Desheng understood that the meals were not prepared in the Imperial Study because they were only prepared for the Empress Dowager to see. He still needed to secretly prepare food for the Emperor.
Now I feel relieved. The dragon's health is more important than anything else.
In fact, he didn't quite understand the Queen Mother, because His Majesty was her own son.
Don’t women value their children’s lives more than anything else?
It seems that not all women are suitable to be mothers!
......
The Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace smashed to pieces her favorite set of chrysanthemum-patterned teacups.
"What is Chi Yao trying to do? Why do you have to go against me?"
Rong Ma Ma hurriedly advised: "Quickly calm down, Queen Mother, and don't hurt yourself. Your Majesty seems to be acting on impulse. When he calms down, he will come to the Cining Palace to apologize."
"Your Majesty is the most filial, and you know that."
The Queen Mother's anger subsided a lot when she thought of how respectful her son had been to her in the past.
"I really don't know what the emperor was thinking, to treat Yizhi like this."
When mentioning Yun Yizi, the empress dowager's tears began to fall again.
"He's so old, and he has several broken bones. How painful must it be?"
In fact, Rong Mama didn't know what to say.
Even if she was trying to persuade him, she could never say anything bad about Yun Yizi, otherwise the empress dowager would be angry with her.
All he could do was to coax her: "Queen Mother, Lord Yun is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him."
"The imperial physician has gone to treat him. I think he will wake up today."
"You are right. Yizhi will be fine. Send someone to inquire about the Yun Mansion and report immediately if there is any situation."
"Oh, and please send the thousand-year-old ginseng in my storehouse to the Yun Mansion."
Madam Rong felt something was wrong. His Majesty had just punished Lord Yun, and the Queen Mother sent a reward over there. This was a slap in the face to His Majesty.
"Empress Dowager, why don't you give the Laoshan ginseng to Concubine Yun?"
The Queen Mother's eyes dimmed. She couldn't even show her concern for him openly.
"Well, give it to Concubine Yun."
"I will go right away."
In fact, Rong Mama was quite reluctant to part with it, because that thousand-year-old ginseng was found with great effort by His Majesty as a gift to the Queen Mother.
well...
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't even get angry.
"What sin did I commit in my previous life?"
It's so heartbreaking to have a mother like this.
He was reluctant to use even the old mountain ginseng, so his mother gave it away without blinking an eye.
So he ordered the secret guards in the dark: "Go steal the old mountain ginseng and replace it with dried radish."
The secret guard was silent for a moment: "...Yes."
Your Majesty is also childish at times.
He must be so angry that he behaved like this.
You should try to find a dried radish that looks like old ginseng.
......
In this way, the empress dowager went on a hunger strike for two days, but the emperor still did not come.
He got angry again, and the palace maids and eunuchs were silent as a mouse, not daring to move.
Rong Mama stood by, holding the golden minced meat porridge and said, "Queen Mother, please drink some, or your body will not be able to bear it."
The Queen Mother has taken good care of herself and looks like she is fifty years old, but she is actually over sixty.
If I continue to starve for a few more days, I might get sick from hunger. What should I do then?
"I don't want to eat it."
He also spilled the porridge and it spread all over the floor.
Madam Rong quickly asked the palace maid to clean up the floor.
"Your Majesty is ill, that's why he didn't come to the Cining Palace. Please eat something and go see His Majesty."
The Queen Mother asked doubtfully, "Is he ill? Is he pretending?"
