All Hail Cousin Brother

Back at Jiushao Courtyard, Yu Youyao dismissed the servants, took the Jinsinan gloomy wood inlaid treasure box sent by the Empress Dowager from the dark compartment at the head of the bed, and solemnly handed it to Yin Huaixi.

Nine dragons and nine phoenixes are carved on the box, and on the top lid is a huge dragon head.

At first glance, it was like a giant dragon carrying the mighty might, tearing up, against the golden wood and texture of the gloomy wood, a suffocating divine might rolled in, almost making one dare not look directly at it.

Yu Youyao urged: "Open it and take a look."

Yin Huaixi tore off the trivial pieces on the box, opened the box, and saw the "Pill Book Tieqi" placed in the box, a heavy page, revealing a heavy and powerful.

"That's why you urged me to come back?!" Yin Huaixi picked up the Danshu Tieqi, read the contents above, and raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

Yu Youyao nodded: "You implement a national policy in the northern border, which is an unworldly effort to secure the country's security and to assist the Sheji. It is only natural that the Empress Dowager wants to give you a danshu iron contract, so why keep it a secret? In one fell swoop, I will send the Danshu Tieqi to you?"

Yin Huaixi put the Danshu Tieqi back into the box and locked the box: "Naturally, it is to avoid people's eyes and ears."

What the Empress Dowager wants to avoid is the eyes and ears of Empress Ning, and Yu Youyao still has many puzzles: "Is it possible that Empress Ning still has the ability to stop the Empress Dowager from sending you a Danshu Tieqi?"

This is unlikely.

Yin Huaixi said meaningfully: "Early news from Eunuch Zhu that the Empress Dowager's condition has worsened, and Shouyan Palace does not allow anyone to enter or leave. Even the Imperial Guards in the palace, Yu Linwei, have been mobilized.

The mobilization of the Imperial Guard and Yulin Guard was to prevent someone from stealing power and disrupting the government while she was dying.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "So, so, this, this is the Empress Dowager..." Because she was too shocked, her voice trembled unconsciously, and she couldn't even speak, so she couldn't help clenching her hands. , took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Is the Empress Dowager arranging the funeral?!"

I can't tell how I feel.

She and the empress dowager only have constant calculations and interests, but it has been a long time, and she has indeed received the protection of the empress dowager, and she has come step by step to where she is today.

Yin Huaixi nodded, and then added: "It's not so much to explain the funeral, it is better to say that the empress dowager is arranging for the back."

Yu Youyao was stunned for a while, Yin Huaixi was the backhand, and she needed to avoid Empress Ning's eyes and ears deliberately. It was self-evident who the backhand was targeting.

Yin Huaixi added: "Danshu Tieqi is very rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has the privilege of refuting the Holy Spirit and punishing the disobedient ministers. The power is very great. Take the emperor, and make the princes steal power and disrupt the government." He said here, his words paused, and his smile was a little playful: "The Queen Mother is worried that Queen Ning will compete with the reserve and disrupt the government, disturb the government, and she is also worried about what Da Zhou Jiangshan entrusts People, give me the alchemy book."

Yu Youyao's heart trembled, she thought of the content of the Danshu Tieqi: "On the basis of privileges, the Danshu Tieqi also emphasized [orthodoxy], and even had the privilege of setting things right and doing justice for the heavens."

Since ancient times, only the emperor has been able to act on behalf of the heavens.

If the harem competes for the reserve and the government, and the three princes do not match, then Yin Huaixi is the only orthodox, and when the Danshu Tieqi is born, it will be more logical...

"Put it away," Yin Huaixi pushed the box in front of Yu Youyao: "I don't need to pay too much attention to the iron contract of Danshu."

Yu Youyao only glanced at it: "Since it was given to you by the empress dowager, it is you..."

"You're wrong," Yin Huaixi shook his head: "Pill book Tie Qi, on the surface, was given to me by the Empress Dowager, but in fact, it was given to you in my name."

Yu Youyao looked blank: "Why is this?"

Yin Huaixi took her hand: "After you are loyal and strong, you are famous, and you have the name of holiness and benevolence. You were raised by your grandmother when you were a child. The kindness, but also the will to govern by inaction, to be a human being with virtue, the Empress Dowager knows that only by handing the Danshu Tieqi into your hands, you will treat it carefully and play its true role instead of being driven by selfishness. , use it to calculate benefits.”

In other words, the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty is tied to Yu Youyao, and Yu Youyao is not alone. She has a loyal and fierce family behind her. Even though she has thousands of schemes, she can always ask for life for the people, and she is also gifted. Wu Mu Dingbei, who was married, was her most powerful backing even though she was highly successful.

This is the genius of the empress dowager.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a while, the battle of the upper ranks was simply breathtaking, especially the use of power and the calculation of people's hearts, and the score was not bad.

There are too many trade-offs in this.

The Empress Dowager clearly fell in love with the Fourth Prince, so it was Empress Ning who joined the royalist party. She hoped that Empress Ning would be able to use the hands of Empress Ning to allow the Fourth Prince to gain the upper hand in the competition for the crown, and to use the power of An Chaotang. Sheji.

When the Zhou Dynasty had a prince, there was no need to cover up the emperor's illness. The crown prince was in charge of the country, he was powerful in the world, and he was able to help the world.

Empress Ning, as the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, overwhelmed Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu in terms of identity. With her methods and the support of the royalists, Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu could not be her opponents.

But because of the old affairs between Ning Guogong's mansion and the eldest son of the emperor, the empress dowager did not trust Queen Ning.

He even gave Yin Huaixi a danshu tie to guard against Empress Ning.

Yin Huaixi changed the subject: "Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days. I will accompany you to watch the dragon boat race."

Yu Youyao suddenly thought of the first Dragon Boat Festival that "Zhou Linghuai" spent in Yu Mansion, and couldn't help laughing: "I remember, you promised me that you would take me to the dragon boat race in person after your legs were healed. ."

When she mentioned what happened back then, she couldn't help but smile and curl her lips.

Those in my heart, or getting older, or men and women, or because of avoiding suspicion, taboo, or because of that piece of marriage... All kinds of secular etiquette, the sense of distance from Yin Huaixi suddenly faded a lot.

...
