I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 36. Queen Mother Huo
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
Hearing the news of all the deaths in the clan in the palace, Qin Nuo was eating breakfast, and the quail eggs choked in his throat and couldn't get up, almost out of breath.
The first feeling is fear! Fortunately, I ran ahead of time, even if there were twists and turns on the road, it was better to stay there and wait to kill.
The second feeling is shock! Qin Jian could be so crazy, these clan families are all his relatives! Those who were killed included many of Emperor Jing Yao's biological children, that is, Qin Jian's brothers and sisters, and even several younger emperors who were still in their infants were not spared, making Qin Nuo extremely sad.
The third feeling is anger! All these plans were arranged by Empress Dowager Huo and Qin Cong. Such a sinister arrangement was just for calculating Qin Jian alone, but it involved so many innocent lives. Together with the imperial family and the imperial maidservants, this time nearly 10,000 people died. In addition to the extermination of the rebels and the soldiers who died in the battle, a civil turmoil, 30,000 or 40,000 lives were filled in. Qin Nuo would rather the Empress Dowager Huo directly send an assassin or poison him, and kill Qin Jian.
In the next few days, Qin Nuo was depressed, and the clan in the capital was almost wiped out, and he could find one of the ten inherited. For him, the only good news may be that Huo Youjuan escaped a catastrophe. He heard that he hid in the crevices of the rockery and persisted until the end, and was now picked up by the Huo family.
In the following days, Lord Chun’s daily routine was to attend the funeral continuously, from family to family.
Even the prince of England, who managed to escape the rebels, was frightened and frightened because of his old age, coupled with excessive freezing and hunger. After returning to the capital, he had a high fever and died within two days.
At the memorial service of the British Royal Palace, Qin Nuo felt that he was completely numb. In the hall, the concubine and distant relatives of the British prince were crying and crying with great grief.
Several heirs of the British king were buried in the rebellion, and this line of inheritance was cut off. There are still many palaces in this situation. They are like vines, the big trees that have lost their support. Although the new emperor was kind and gave generous compensation to the family members who died this time, it is conceivable that the days will be far worse than before.
Originally, because of the Four Kings Rebellion many years ago, countless people were involved in the clan. The Qin clan suffered a catastrophe. Seeing that the Qin clan has recovered a little over the past two decades, it has been killed by this sudden massacre. Cut it off.
After the memorial ceremony, Qin Nuo was about to leave when suddenly a voice rang from behind.
"Lord."
Turning around, a tall figure appeared behind him, greeting him.
Qin Nuo immediately responded and said: "Huo Shangshu."
After the funeral of Emperor Jing Yao, Qin Nuo also had a little understanding of several important ministers in power in Da Zhou.
What is in front of you is Huo Donglai, who is now the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He is also a famous general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has repeatedly made contributions at a young age. In addition, he was born in the famous Huo family, and he was promoted faster in the army, even with Pei Ling. Eponymous. Only later, as Pei Ling hung up like the sun, shining her star alone, all the great Zhou generals were obscured by the brilliant rise of this superstar.
Even the person in front of him is no exception, just because of his origin, his advancement in the court hasn't been affected. Now he is not only the Hussar General who is in charge of the Forbidden Army, but he is also a senior official of the Ministry of War, a first-grade member, and the younger brother of the Queen Mother Huo, and the current patriarch of the Huo family. More importantly, he is also Huo Youjuan's father.
"I haven't thanked the prince yet. According to the little girl, it was the prince who saved the little woman's life." To Qin Nuo, Huo Donglai was gentle and honest.
"With a lift of your hand, Huo Shangshu is not very polite, and the lonely should also thank Miss Huo. If there is no other way, I am afraid I can't support it."
Huo Shangshu nodded slightly, and then asked about Qin Nuo's recent life. After a few words, he suddenly looked back at the mourning hall covered with white cloth and sighed: "The dragon veins withered, it is indeed the misfortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Fortunately, the emperor and the queen mother returned safely and tried to turn the tide, so that the people of the world would not be in trouble." Because the previous war was a plot by the Huo family, Qin Nuo didn't have a good impression of the person in front of him, and only said something politely.
Huo Donglai didn't say much, and the two talked a few words at random, and then each left.
On the frame of the car back, Qin Nuo opened the curtains and looked at the bustling scene in the street. After getting rid of Qin Jian's confidant and his party members, will the Queen Mother Huo be at ease?
Impossible, after that they will have a bigger enemy Pei Ling. The two factions are fighting, when will the storm in the capital stop? How many innocent lives will be involved in this heavy war in the future?
Qin Jian's rebellion was smoothly quelled, but it brought unprecedented impact to the capital. The joy of the coming New Year's Day was wiped out. The palace, which had been depressed because of the national funeral, became a lingering shadow.
There was silence in the power center of Da Zhou, and the palace people walked hurriedly. Because in Qianyuan Palace, the most noble person in Da Zhou, the supreme emperor Qin Cong, fell ill.
The Queen Mother Huo sat on the edge of the hospital bed, looking at her son with thin cheeks, very worried and anxious.
"Emperor, take another sip, this chicken soup is boiled by the queen herself, adding your favorite miling."
The gentle persuasion did not arouse Qin Cong's interest. He opened his eyes in confusion, looked at the person in front of him, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Mother, is there a memorial in the court today?"
Queen Mother Huo could only wave her hand to let the palace lady holding the chicken soup retreat, and said softly: "There is nothing major, but the governor of Jiangzhou reported that shipping was difficult due to the cold and freezing weather. This year's tribute will be delivered later. Arrived. There is also Jinzhou, where a bridge collapsed due to the snow disaster, causing dozens of people to die, and..."
Queen Dowager Huo chose the affairs of the DPRK at will. In these days, apart from Qin Jian's rebellion, the DPRK was basically peaceful, and the war in Beishuo was temporarily stopped.
Qin Cong asked again: "How did the princes handle their affairs?"
A trace of worry flashed between Queen Mother Huo's eyebrows: "These are all specially managed by the Ministry of Rites. Your Majesty has rewarded me with great rewards, and all the relatives of the palace are extremely grateful."
"Thank you?" Qin Cong's lips raised a smile, incomparably ironic. "I can only make a slight compensation for these properties, but the lives of countless relatives can be made up for by these golden beads?"
Queen Dowager Huo frowned, "This is not your responsibility, the emperor. It is the dog thief Qin Jian who has committed disorder and slaughtered the clan. The crime is not to be blamed."
Qin Cong closed his eyes and said nothing, is everything Qin Jian's fault? Indeed, the instigator was Qin Jian, but it was himself and his mother who set the game! In fact, he originally disagreed with the plan of the Queen Mother Huo, but his mother has always been strong, since childhood, he has become a habit of following the mother's will.
As an emperor, the first major thing after he became an emperor was to calculate his brother. I don’t know how his father, Huangquan knows, how he will treat his son, who has always been "loving". Qin Jian is the son he deplores the most!
Perhaps... he couldn't help thinking that if the father had established Qin Jian as the prince from the beginning, maybe these things wouldn't have to happen, and maybe even the father's favorite candidate for the prince was Qin Jian. In recent years, he can clearly feel that his father is increasingly cold and dissatisfied with him. No longer like when he was a teenager, he would hold his hand and personally guide his homework.
Queen Mother Huo continued to persuade gently: "The emperor does not have to worry about things that have passed. As for the blood of the clan, Wang Zhaoyuan is still pregnant in the harem, and will soon be giving birth, and the emperor will have more children in the future. , They are all of the blood of Da Zhou. If the emperor does not want to worry about the ministers in the DPRK, he should recover from his illness and recover as soon as possible."
Qin Cong's face was bitter. "What the queen taught me is that I must get better soon, otherwise, if I die, how face will I face the ancestors and ancestors when I go underground."
The Queen Mother Huo took a long breath, "The emperor, the Aijia knows that you are kind, but you don't need to take these guilt on yourself. It was Qin Jian who intended to take the throne and forced us to act like this. The plan was perfect, and it was Nanxiang Hou who made trouble in the middle, which destroyed your uncle and their ambush, and the dead girl Youjuan, if it weren't because she hid too well, Qin Jian wouldn't be so angry that it would affect the innocent."
According to the original plan, as long as Huo Youjuan dies, their Huo family will be perfectly in the position of a victim. Qin Jian will no longer have a place to turn around and can be killed in one fell swoop. Who knew that girl could hide so much, Qin Jian became more angry and irritable, implicating so many clan families.
The pawns that have already decided to give up do not obediently follow the layout and sacrifice, which is really annoying.
Qin Cong only felt cold and exhausted. Fortunately, his cousin escaped the catastrophe, and now she has become a culpability in the mouth of her own mother.
These days, my cousin is hiding in the middle of the palace, how terrified, how desperate the clan imprisoned, how desperate he is, thinking of this, the fear in his heart is beyond words.
Why didn't you make up your mind to oppose this plan before? He clearly has the opportunity to be capable. He is the emperor, he shouldn't follow the mother's will in everything!
Endless regrets permeated him, making it difficult for him to rest day and night, and he began to linger on the bed after the news came.
Seeing that Qin Cong’s face was not good, Queen Mother Huo finally stopped her temper and brought up another happy event: "Now the New Year’s Day is approaching. Scattered leaves. In the future, the emperor will have more family bloodlines. When the emperor will bring a group of children and grandchildren to sacrifice for the emperor, presumably the ancestors and ancestors will also be happy."
Finally, Qin Cong cheered up in front of him and said: "Mother, the New Year is just around the corner. Now the people in the capital are dull. I want to pardon the world once again. Brother plus double salary."
Queen Dowager Huo pondered for a moment, "The nine princes are the princes, and the ten princes add double salary. It is just the emperor. According to the secret investigation, Qin Xun is suspected of taking refuge in the king and forcing the clan."
Qin Cong smiled bitterly: "I only have two or three brothers left, so why bother about these things? He turned to Qin Jian just out of helplessness, so there is no need to pursue it."
The Queen Mother Huo frowned, and then she thought of the timid and sleek fat man, and nothing could happen. Forget it, these little things, just follow the emperor's meaning.
After ordering this matter, Qin Cong's expression on his face became even more exhausted, and he whispered: "Today's government affairs have to bother the mother. It's getting late. Let the mother go busy earlier. Don't delay because of the son."
Queen Mother Huo got up helplessly, went to the outer hall, and repeatedly told the queen and several concubines to serve well. He especially asked the queen to take care of Wang Zhaoyuan's fetus before leaving Qianyuan Palace.
