The only thing she can do now is to defend the imperial capital and the imperial palace.
Besides, she has no spare time to pay attention to other things.
"Your Majesty, King Xuan asks to see you."
A servant came to report.
"King Xuan!" The Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head slowly, and said with low eyes, "Please come here."
King Xuan, the uncle of the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is only in his 40s now.
He was wearing a green robe with dragon patterns, and his face was as white as jade. Although he was over 40 years old, he exuded an elegant and elegant temperament.
It doesn't look like a prince, more like a noble son.
"I pay homage to the Empress Dowager." King Xuan came behind the Empress Dowager Zhou and bowed in obeisance.
The Empress Dowager Zhou stood up slowly, waved and said, "You all step back first."
The maids and servants next to her immediately obeyed and retreated.
Only Queen Mother Zhou and King Xuan were left in the room.
King Xuan lowered his head and frowned slightly, not understanding what the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to do.
The eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou rolled slightly, as if revealing a dreamlike brilliance.
"King Xuan, among the current royal family, your Xuan Palace is the most powerful."
The pupils in King Xuan's eyes suddenly shrank.
"Many people in the court say that King Xuan is wise and benevolent, and has the appearance of a wise and holy monarch. I don't know if it is true?"
The voice of the Empress Dowager Zhou is as light as a juanjuan spring water, and as clear and pleasant as the sound of an elegant piano.
But King Xuan didn't appreciate it at all, instead he frowned.
"What is the meaning of this, Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty is too young to govern, King Xuan is wise and benevolent, why not replace him?" The light wave in the Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes turned into a cold light, and her clear voice was as sharp and piercing as a sword.
"I have no such intention." King Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his head and looked directly at Queen Mother Zhou.
"Is there really no such intention?" Queen Mother Zhou asked.
"No such intention." King Xuan said.
The Empress Dowager Zhou stared at him closely, and did not find anything unusual, so she sighed leisurely.
"King Xuan doesn't have this intention, but many officials in the Palace of Xuan Wang have this intention."
"Nowadays, the world is full of rebellions, and the court is full of undercurrents. Everyone is waiting for the collapse of the 700-year-old Great Zhou Dynasty."
"King Xuan, what do you think the Ai family should do to be the first emperor and protect the Great Zhou Dynasty for His Majesty?"
The cold light dissipated, and a thin mist filled the charming eyes, and the voice was soft and soft, with a hint of choking.
Just now he had a icy and hard look, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a lovely and pitiful look.
Seeing her like this, King Xuan couldn't help but feel soft.
"You don't need to worry about the queen mother. When your majesty grows up, you will be able to clarify the universe and revive the Great Zhou Xiongwei." He comforted softly.
"But when will Your Majesty grow up, the Ai family can't hold on any longer." The Queen Mother Zhou sat on the chair with a sad face, her thin body showing even more frailty.
Seeing her like this, King Xuan suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
"King Xuan, would you like to help Aijia and His Majesty?" The Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, as if they were about to fall in the next second.
There is a bit of weakness in the haggard, and there is a ray of charm in the weakness.
That fair face made King Xuan's heart beat fast, he had an impulse.
"I am willing to serve the Queen Mother." He said with bright eyes.
As night falls, the blurred moonlight falls on the smooth ground through lattice windows and crystal bead curtains, and the flickering candlelight resounds through the boudoir with the sound of babbling.
Chapter 242 Da Zhou's Despair and Panic
The Great Zhou Dynasty was turbulent, and rebellions continued in various places. The Queen Mother of Zhou could no longer bear the pressure, and she canonized King Xuan as the regent and prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When King Xuan was in power, he showed his power and power, eliminated the rebellious ministers, and took over the power. In just half a month, the atmosphere of the court suddenly disappeared.
If there is no other external force, with King Xuan's means, maybe after a few years, the Great Zhou Dynasty will slowly restore stability.
Unfortunately, some things have been irreversible.
In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in an elegant small courtyard, the Black Demon stood in front of the blooming red velvet flowers in a brocade suit.
Looking at the gorgeous red velvet flowers, he sighed slightly.
"It's a pity!"
Next to him, a guard in Jinyi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Master Commander, it's just a flower, what's the pity?"
"If the adults like it, the subordinates can help the adults find some."
The Black Demon turned his head and looked at him with lowered eyelids.
"What I regret is not the flowers, but the people."
The follower scratched his head, wondering what he meant.
"A good person, just ruined like this."
"It's really a waste of all the painstaking efforts of Governor Cao."
The black devil said in a leisurely tone.
A flash of light flashed in the mind of the entourage, and said: "Your Excellency is talking about the Queen Mother Zhou?"
The black devil glanced at him and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
The entourage looked at him speechlessly, you should stop talking, it's really tantalizing to say so without being asked.
"Where's Ling Luochen?" Hei Mo asked.
"Probably went out to buy wine." The follower replied.
"This guy is really getting more and more presumptuous." Hei Mo said dissatisfied.
As soon as these words came out, Ling Luochen appeared beside him.
"Hey, black old devil, it's not a gentleman's job to speak ill of people behind their backs."
Holding the wine gourd, Ling Luochen staggered over.
The black devil's face darkened, and said: "Don't forget your mission, if you fail, it depends on how you explain to the commander-in-chief and Governor Cao!"
"Cut! Isn't it just staring at the little emperor? Is there any need to be so nervous?" Ling Luochen raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said.
Hei Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, no matter how young he is, he is still Emperor Zhou, how can you allow you to be so contemptuous?"
"And His Majesty doesn't like this title either!"
Ling Luochen trembled when he heard the words and woke up.
"Hey, I'm so confused, I actually said such nonsense, please commander to appease your anger."
Hei Mo looked at him and said, "Be careful in the future, if you make a mistake because of drinking, I can't help you."
Ling Luochen and Hei Mo are both old men of the Procuratorate, and now Hei Mo is one of the three commanders of Jin Yiwei, while Ling Luochen doesn't even have an official position.
If it wasn't for Ling Luochen's cultivation level reaching the level of a master, he would have been kicked out of Jinyiwei long ago.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Luochen smiled embarrassingly.
Hei Mo didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said: "We can just borrow something about the matter of King Xuan and the Queen Mother Zhou, and let people spread the news immediately."
Ling Luochen stared at the words.
"King Xuan gave the Queen Mother Zhou to that!"
"Forcing is still consensual!"
He gossips.
"It has nothing to do with you," said the dark devil.
"Tsk tsk, what a pity." Ling Luochen said with some regret.
……
Rumors abounded in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For a time, the entire imperial capital was full of discussions about the Queen Mother and King Xuan, and some people even described it vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was furious because of this, and she was so angry that she was bedridden directly.
Emperor Zhou, who had just turned ten years old, was already sensible, and he was also extremely ashamed and indignant about this. He even felt dissatisfied with the Queen Mother Zhou, and did not go to pay her respects to the Queen Mother Zhou for several days in a row.
King Xuan was in a state of desperation for a while, and finally came down to the court to regenerate the waves, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked at him with strange eyes.
The loss of virtue greatly damaged the majesty he had accumulated before.Chaotang slowly broke away from his control.
However, at this juncture, the rebellion within Dazhou intensified.
In particular, the red-clothed army of Tianfu Province directly broke through the capital of Tianfu Province.
The rebellion was raging like a raging fire.
But what is even more shocking is that Yu Guogong's mansion stood up and announced it to the world.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty lost their morals, insulted the world, disobeyed the law and disregarded the people, and Yu Guogong's government obeyed the will of the heavens, raised its might, and benefited the country.
When Yu Guogong raised his arms and called out, a large number of rebels immediately responded to the call. In just one month, Yu Guogong gathered 30 troops.
And when Yu Guogong stood up, the name of Dali Dynasty's benevolent sage spread throughout Dazhou.
What joining Dali can exempt from hard labor, can enjoy the new tax system, and the children and grandchildren of the family can go to school for free, etc.
One after another true news spread all over Dazhou, making thousands of people in Dazhou yearn for it.
In addition, tens of thousands of insightful people in Xiyun Province promoted Dali's prestige, and jointly wrote a letter to Dali court, asking Dali to take over Xiyun Province.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zheng Ming looked at the Wanmin book that was delivered, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Who wrote this?"
Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, "Return to Your Majesty, it was written by Mr. Jia Ge."
What kind of insightful people are nothing more than the incarnation and collusion of Jin Yiwei. There are hundreds of people from Jin Yiwei, and then coaxed and deceived them to come up with a book of Wanmin.
"Bragging is too much!" Zheng Ming touched his nose.
Even so, no matter what, Dali finally entered the Great Zhou Dynasty in name.
However, this book of Wanmin can only represent Xiyun Province in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xiyun Province is adjacent to Yunshang River in the north and Xijue City in the west.
"Send it to the cabinet and let them write a document and send it out."
Zheng Ming ordered.
He wanted to annex the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't directly go out to fight arbitrarily, he had to occupy a share of righteousness.
And this Wanmin Book sent from Xiyun Province is the righteousness.
It's not that we want to invade the Great Zhou, but that the royal family and court of the Great Zhou are too corrupt and the people of the Great Zhou are miserable, so we invited me to go.
To put it simply, I want to be a bitch and also want to set up a torii.
Although these words are a bit rough, the meaning is similar.
Xiao Fuzi took the Wanmin book and arranged for a servant to send it to Wenhua Hall.
After Zheng Ming read the memorial for a while, he got up and said, "Where is the queen?"
"The two empresses are visiting the imperial garden with the oriental girl." Xiao Fuzi said.
There are two empresses, one is Wei Yu, the empress, and the other is Lian Xing, the concubine Chen.
At first Lian Xing was reluctant to enter the palace, but in the end Zheng Ming invited Li Ruyue out.
The old lady went out, and Lianxing immediately entered the palace obediently.
