Jiang Zhenyuan looked at Zhao Yi's excited expression like a child, and for a moment he was very doubtful whether it was the right choice to hand over the country to Zhao Yi.

But now that things have come to this point, he is just not suitable, and he and those who support Zhao Yi can only drag Zhao Yi forward.

He respectfully bowed to Zhao Yi and said in a deep voice: "The Emperor advises the Empress Dowager to give birth to you no matter what, and she will return the power to you."

This is totally nonsense.

Empress Dowager Cao would definitely not give up the power in her hands just because of Zhao Yi's words.

Throughout history, no regency queen mother could completely return the power to the emperor, otherwise she would be like a general who had lost his weapons, who could only bow down in front of the enemy and lose the ability to protect herself.

But more words are not something he can say, at least those words that provoke the mother-son relationship cannot be said from his words.

It would be better to leave this kind of thing to those civil officials and the Wang Jidao in the cabinet.

Jiang Zhenyuan said: "Emperor, there are some strong eunuchs around the Empress Dowager. I'm going to tie the person up now. For other things, the emperor should discuss with King Jian and Master Wang. I am just a general, and some things may not be thoughtful and correct."

Zhao Yi was already full of confidence after Jiang Zhenyuan agreed with affirmatively. He immediately nodded and said, "Thank you Jiang Aiqing for your hard work! Don't take what your mother said to you. Our two families are in-laws. If Jiang Aiqing, I can't believe it, there will be no one in this world that I can trust. The people around the mother always like to pretend to be powerful. I used to turn a blind eye because they served her mother. If the mother returned to power, the court would be in a new state.

Good. Jiang Aiqing helped clean up the people around her. "Aiqing, who was holding the empress dowager in front of him, and hesitated, "If I remember correctly this person, it should be the son of the general of Fujian. The one who works as a guard in Kunning Palace, how could he be here? My mother and I still have something to say. Let him go out and wait, and Jiang Aiqing will also deal with him! It is always bad for a foreign minister to get involved in this."

Jiang Zhenyuan bent down and bowed his head and said "yes".

Zhao Yi was very satisfied with Jiang Zhenyuan's attitude.

He had respected him very much in the past, but that respect revealed a little alienation, unlike now. He had a kind of obedience to surrender.

No wonder everyone wants to be emperor.

After the mother ruled the country from behind the curtain, she refused to hand over the national seal to him.

Zhao Yi raised his face and followed Empress Dowager Cao with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Zhenyuan asked King Jian and Wang Jidao to deal with the people around Empress Dowager Cao himself.

Dehui Palace is still the same as it was.

The green curtains of the parrot, the shelf beds of nanmu, and the snow-white high-paper paper window lattices. The newly replaced fishy red five-clawed cloud dragon holding birthday flowers were covered on the large kang by the window, and the brass reading glasses for tribute to the West were thrown on the coffee table.

But in just two quarters of an hour, Empress Dowager Cao's mood was completely different.

She stood silently in front of the high mirror, allowing her wet nurse, Mrs. Ancheng, whose hands and feet were trembling, and several of the great palace maids of Si Nishi to help her change her clothes.

She has been under house arrest. At this time, you must not anger Jiang Zhenyuan, otherwise Jiang Zhenyuan will kill her and make a name for encountering an assassin. The emperor may even praise Jiang Zhenyuan for saying "loyalty". Who else will stand up for her?

She shouldn't have said those few words just now!

The only thing she can use now is Li Qian.

But Li Qian was only a seventeen-eight-year-old boy. He was passionate, loyal, and just... He rushed in to save him regardless of his own safety. He was brave and determined, but Li Qian's father Li Changqing was an old fox. It was hard to say whether he would be willing to stand on his side when he was weak or even lonely. And without the support of the Li family, why should he protect himself?

Now we must not let Zhao Liqian leave her sight.

With Li Qian here, even if Li Changqing wants to separate from her for the sake of family interests, at least at this time when someone wants to kill her, Li Qian will stand in front of her.

Empress Dowager Cao felt warm when she thought of Li Qian's block just now.

I haven't been so moved for many years.

He thought of entering the main hall of Dehui Palace. Zhao Yi asked Li Qian to go down, and Li Qian looked at her.

It’s not fear, it’s not fear, it’s worry.

He was worried that the emperor would not do her well?

How could she let herself be alone?

She finally drove Zhao Yi out of Dehui Palace on the grounds that she wanted to change her clothes.

But this is only temporary.

Zhao Yi is like a tiger cub who grows up with grass. Once he tastes the taste of flesh and blood, how can he eat vegetarian food?

Now it's just her accumulated power. When he comes to his senses, no one who serves beside her will save her life.

At that time, she was truly alone.

Empress Dowager Cao saw that Mrs. Ancheng was still there and was still trembling with her hairpin, and she suddenly became impatient. She said, "Don't wear these useless things. Just bring me a veil." As she said that, she also untied the purse on her waist, but just when she wanted to throw the purse on the kang, she held the purse in her hand, sent out the palace maids of Si Weisi, and whispered to Mrs. Ancheng: "Husband, we are now at the critical moment of life and death, you must be calm. We have encountered such a thing. Think about the years when I first entered the palace."

Mrs. Ancheng said with her eyes in her mouth, and her expression became much calmer.

Empress Dowager Cao looked at her and continued, "Listen. Find ways to hide all the gold, silver jewelry we usually use and hide them on my body. If it is not easy to hide, you can find a way to clean up."

If she was banned, wouldn't the eunuchs and palace maids treat her as a low-level slave? If she had no money at that time, even if Zhao Yi wanted to let her go, she would not have lived for a few years.

Mrs. Ancheng had long had experience, so she took the money needle and sewed the gold and silver into Queen Mother Cao's clothes.

Empress Dowager Cao will definitely rest in Dehui Palace tonight, and it will not be necessary tomorrow.

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I have to wear these clothes with gold and silver hidden for Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao left the palace.

Li Qian held the sword and leaned against the pillar next to the bedroom.

Hearing the movement, he hurriedly stood up and looked over with concern.

Empress Dowager Cao smiled at him comfortably and said, "No matter what the situation, you don't leave me, the emperor will not let you go."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Li Qian saluted her, his eyes clear and bright, upright and fortitude.

What a great kid, it’s a pity that I got it too late!

Empress Dowager Cao sighed in her heart and went to the main hall.

Zhao Yi sat on the phoenix where Empress Dowager Cao usually sat, and King Jian sat on Zhao Yi's lower head. Wang Jidao, Su Peiwen, and Cai Dingzhong stood beside King Jian, but the treacherous Jiang Zhenyuan was not in the hall.

Empress Dowager Cao snorted coldly in her heart.

It's really a success and a defeat.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yi sat in her seat in a big way.

Seeing that Queen Mother Cao had already stood up, he greeted Queen Mother Cao solemnly: "Niece-in-law!"

Dear friends, today's update!

ps: The second question about Fengyi Shaohua is the statement that the Empress Dowager is in charge.

Before Zhao Yi's problem was exposed, he was also a better candidate. I wrote it in the article before. The reason why the Empress Dowager did not consider it was mainly because Zhao Yi had to have a child immediately after he was established. Jiang Xian was in poor health and the Empress Dowager wanted to keep her for a few years. But this was not certain. If Jiang Xian and Zhao Yi were both willing, this would be a small problem. So Jiang Xian finally agreed to marry Zhao Yi, and the Empress Dowager was still very happy. After all, one was his granddaughter and the other was his granddaughter. In ancient times, this was a very good marriage. We knew each other's background and did not have to marry blindly.

What's more, there is also Jiang Zhenyuan who helped Zhao Yi take charge of the government.

The matchmaking here refers to the first proposed by the Empress Dowager.
