Chapter 724 862: Dialogue Between Liang Ji and Zhao Yushu

Tianchuan City, an ordinary wing of the imperial harem.

On a summer night, the moon is very big and the moonlight is very bright. The only thing that is not beautiful is the constant sound of various insects and frogs.

The yellow lanterns carved from pine wood were swaying in the wind on the eaves of the corridor. The wind blew through the eaves of the palace and blew into the wing along the window.

Liang Ji, who was dressed in a black luxurious palace dress, walked quickly along the corridor of the palace with vermilion beams. The lanterns made circles of light and shadow and fell on her face from far or near, interlacing light and dark.

The maid waiting outside the wing saw the person coming and quickly bowed and saluted. However, she was stunned for a while before speaking: "I have seen you, your noble man."

Liang Ji is no longer the queen mother of a country, but she still lives in the harem. The palace has not explained the situation for the time being. Those who serve them can only be called nobles for now.

Liang Jifeng's eyebrows were long and narrow, her clear eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Is Mrs. Zhao awake?"

"Madam just woke up and drank a bowl of ginger soup." The palace maid said.

Liang Ji nodded and then walked into the wing.

In the room, Zhao Yushu was sitting on a soft couch, with her lush hair spread over her shoulders, her bare hands hugging her knees, her face slightly pale, her eyes that used to be clear and bright, were looking down at this moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking. , even Liang Ji had entered the house and came to her, and she hadn't noticed yet.

Liang Ji looked at the dazed Zhao Yushu, her heart skipped a beat, she came to the bed and sat down, raised her hand and put it on Zhao Yushu's shoulder. Then she clearly felt the other person's delicate body tremble slightly, and she raised her head in surprise. Xiang Liangji, her voice weak: "Queen Madam."

Liang Ji pursed her lips and sighed softly: "The Song Dynasty has changed its dynasty, and I am no longer the Queen Mother. I heard that Yushu slipped and fell into the water in the canal in the east of the city today. What happened?"

The queen of the previous dynasty committed suicide by drowning herself in a river. If this spread, how big of a news would it be? How would the people view the current Emperor of Wei?

So the officials changed the story of Zhao Yushu's attempt to commit suicide into a slip and fall into the water in order to control public opinion.

When Liang Ji's words fell, Zhao Yushu was immediately saddened. After a while, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears burst into her eyes. She hugged her knees and sobbed.

Why was her life so miserable? She was first deposed, then divorced. She thought about death several times, but she couldn't even think about it.

Seeing Zhao Yushu's tenderness and tenderness, the louder she cried, causing her delicate body to twitch. She took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Zhao Yushu.

Maybe he was crying, or maybe he wanted Liang Ji to analyze the reason why Chu Yi didn't want him. After all, the authorities are obsessed with the beholder, so Zhao Yushu shook off all his sad things to Liang Ji.

After Liang Ji heard this, her eyebrows were furrowed and her eyes were distracted for a moment, because she saw some traces of herself from Zhao Yushu's body.

I don't think she was relegated to the cold palace after being deposed by Emperor Xuanhe.

In order to protect himself, Emperor Xuanhe also ignored her and appointed Xu Ying, who was still a concubine at the time, as his queen.

Now it seems that this father and son are so imaginary.

As long as his life is not in danger, he can throw away his wife and everything else.

Liang Ji sighed softly, feeling empathetic, and hugged Zhao Yushu into her arms, gently caressing her back, and comforted: "Yushu, this is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself."

Zhao Yushu's eyes filled with tears and she tried her best to control her emotions. She raised her eyes and looked at Liang Ji: "Then why did he divorce me? He even took Wu Xian away, but he only kept me. Why?"

Seeing that Liang Ji didn't speak, Zhao Yushu continued: "It's Chen Mo. It must be him. He must be behind it. Your Majesty, he did this to me."

Recalling the scene where Chu Yi left by boat without looking back, Zhao Yushu burst into tears again. She was so sad that she cried so much that her nose came out. In order not to stain Liang Ji's clothes, she hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief. The whining doesn’t stop.

At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten that Liang Ji and Chen Mo were having an affair.

If she had not given birth to a child for Chen Mo, Liang Ji would not have spoken for Chen Mo even when she was on good terms with Chen Mo before.

But at this moment, she and Chen Mo were firmly bound together because of Chen Qin.

Chen Mo must be protected.

Of course, Liang Ji did not express it too obviously, so as not to let Zhao Yushu see at a glance that she was defending Chen Mo, she said: "Yushu, where did you see that it was his method?"

"Isn't it obvious? The relationship between Your Majesty and I is so deep, and there was no gap during the period. If it weren't for his use of tricks, how could Your Majesty treat me like this? And that Wu Xian, isn't he his wife's natal family? Man, if it weren't for him, how would your Majesty have the idea of ​​dethroning me and establishing her?" Although Zhao Yushu was heartbroken by Chu Yi, he also hated Chen Mo in his heart.

"Then what is his purpose?" Liang Ji followed Zhao Yushu's words and said.

"Of course it's for this." When the words came to his lips, Zhao Yushu couldn't help crying.

Women and men look at problems from different perspectives.

In her previous opinion, Chen Mo asked Chu Yi to depose her so that Wu Xian could ascend to the throne so that he could become emperor.

But now, Chen Mo has achieved his goal today. He can even let Chu Yi go, so why should he keep her?

Picture her body?

Zhao Yushu must have been embarrassed to say this to Liang Ji.

But this is untenable.

After all, as Chen Mo, he could take her by force, so why bother beating around the bush and wasting time.

Maybe it's because of the impact?

The former empress, the former Crown Prince Chong's concubine, the former Princess Huai and even the former Queen Mother did not see Chen Mo caring about their influence.

Moreover, she had several opportunities to get Chen Mo to attack, but the latter did not misbehave with her and maintained a gentlemanly manner.

But if it weren't for Chen Mo's methods, then what happened at the canal dock today would really mean that Chu Yi didn't want her.

Zhao Yushu's delicate body trembled slightly, and it was difficult to accept it.

Liang Ji touched her shoulder, knowing that she must have the answer in her heart, and immediately changed the subject: "Yu Shu, how do you feel now?"

Of course, she already knew the situation. On this hot day, she fell into the river and was rescued in time. Apart from choking on a few mouthfuls of water, what could have happened?

No matter how weak Zhao Yushu was, he still wouldn't be this weak.

Zhao Yushu shook his head.

Liang Ji knew that she was heartbroken.

In order to prevent Zhao Yushu from continuing to have the desire to live and die, Liang Ji whispered: "Yushu, it is easy for you to die, but after you die, who will serve your parents? Your brother is still young. Can you afford this family?"

Zhao Yushu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened. She felt very guilty for her parents. In the past few years as the queen, in order to prevent Chu Yi's situation from getting worse, she had not helped her family. Now, Come to think of it, this is very unfilial.

And after Liang Ji's reminder, Zhao Yushu soon understood that although she had not taken the initiative to help the family, she still held the title of a queen, even if the emperor was a puppet. Lu Sheng before and Chen Mo after that, in order to take care of the royal family To save face, she would also give her father an official status, so that her family could eat royal food and live a decent life.

Even if she is not the queen now.

Chu Yi doesn't want her anymore.

She has since become white.

The Wei court considered her previous status and also for the court's own reputation, and it would definitely not be a loss to her family, at least it would not be too bad.

But if she died, then the Wei court would not have this need at all.

After Liang Ji saw that Zhao Yushu's eyes were no longer dull, she continued: "The Emperor of Wei said that although Meng Hegong did not take you with him, he will not restrict your freedom. When your parents arrive, After Beijing, you can leave the palace. From now on, you can enjoy your life freely."

Hearing this, Zhao Yushu was stunned and said quickly: "Really?"

To be honest, when she woke up and learned that she was in the harem.

She couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, thinking that she would become like the former Princess Huai and others in the future.

At that time, she was still looking for a chance to take matters into her own hands and would never let Chen Mo succeed.

Now when Liang Ji said this, he actually wanted to let him go.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yushu's face felt inexplicably hot, knowing that he was being "self-motivated".

Liang Ji nodded.

Zhao Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, this was a blessing in misfortune.

"However." Liang Ji let go of Zhao Yushu, no longer holding her, but holding her shoulders with both hands, looking at her steadily, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Leaving the palace is not necessarily the best thing. choose?"

"?" Zhao Yushu looked at Liang Ji doubtfully.

"Because once you leave the palace, your previous life of fine clothing and fine food will be gone forever," Liang Ji said.

The Zhao family where Zhao Yushu lives is just an ordinary family, otherwise Lu Sheng would not have chosen Chu Yi as the puppet emperor, because it was because the Zhao family could not help Chu Yi at all.

Of course, now, the Zhao family can be considered a small fortune, but it is definitely not comparable to the imperial palace.

Zhao Yushu was used to a life of fine clothing and fine food, but her quality of life suddenly dropped several notches. Liang Ji didn't believe she could get used to it.

Zhao Yushu said firmly: "I don't care about this."

"You may not care, but where are your parents and your brother? Also, are you prepared for trouble coming your way?" Liang Ji said.

"My parents have also lived through hard times, and now that the Zhao family's life has improved, they won't care. As for the trouble the Queen Mother mentioned, where did it come from?"

Zhao Yushu didn't know what else to call her instead of Queen Mother Liang, so he just continued to call her Queen Mother.

"When thinking about things, you have to consider everything comprehensively." Liang Ji pursed her lips and said softly: "Although you have not taken the initiative to help the family, the Zhao family's life has become better. In addition to the court's intentional care before, the Zhao family I must have borrowed your power. Depending on how far this power has been borrowed, you can be regarded as the backer of the Zhao family.

But once you leave the palace, this support is gone. So what will people who have helped the Zhao family before, or people who have offended the Zhao family think? They will think that the Zhao family has lost power. They have helped the Zhao family before and will not do so again. And those who have been offended by the Zhao family will definitely find ways to get revenge. "

As the legitimate daughter of the Liang family, Ji Liang had seen many such things before when she was a maid of the Liang family.

But Zhao Yushu, who had never experienced such a thing, didn't quite understand what Liang Ji said.

Liang Ji didn't want to say anything anymore. If she was overthinking it, she smiled and said, "I hope this won't happen to you.

Okay, it's getting late and it's time for me to go. Don't think too much about it. After all, we had a close relationship before. The reason why I came here to find you is to persuade you not to do stupid things again. Royal, there is no emotion at all. I hope you can really come out. "

After saying that, Liang Ji was about to leave.

Zhao Yushu stopped Liang Ji and couldn't help but asked if that happened between her and Chen Mo.

Liang Ji smiled and said, "If you stay in the palace, you will understand."

…

The next morning, Wei held the first morning court since the establishment of the new dynasty.

This morning court did not discuss anything.

Basically, there was only one thing, rewards.

This court meeting was to reward according to merit.

There were seven dukes, headed by Geng Songfu.

There were 29 marquises, including Sun Meng, Shao Jinneng, Zhao Liang, etc.

There were 32 earls, including Zhang He, Luo Yong, Nangong Jin, Chang En, etc.

Of course, regarding the canonization of concubines in the harem, except for the queen, who needed to be discussed and decided by the ministers, the others could be drafted by Chen Mo himself.

Chen Mo did not forget the promise to Nalan Yiren.

In front of all the ministers, Nalan Yiren was canonized as the first state teacher of Wei, and the imperial seal was affixed.

Then, it was posthumous.

The first person to be posthumously honored was Chen Da, the brother of Chen Mo's original body.

The second one is Xia Liangqing, who fought against the Tianshi bandits and died for his country. He is also the biological father of the sisters Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining.

And this is not because Chen Mo gave him a posthumous title for the sake of the sisters.

Although Chen Mo was a member of the Tianshi bandits before, he had distanced himself from them early.

Moreover, he accepted the abdication of Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the Tianshi Army was to overthrow the Song Dynasty.

So for his own sake, Chen Mo had to consolidate the "orthodoxy" of the Song Dynasty and show the illegality of the Tianshi bandits. Xia Liangqing, who died for the Song Dynasty, should also be posthumously honored.

Then, there were the generals who died in resisting the invasion of Jin and Xia, etc.

This morning court lasted for a long time.

…

In Xia Zhining's bedroom.

Xia Zhining had just woken up. Because of the fussing of the fetus last night, Xia Zhining went to bed very late.

Despite this, Xia Zhining, who woke up at this time, still looked like she had not slept enough.

Just when Xia Zhining was about to call the maid to help her get up and relieve herself, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Xia Zhiqing didn't knock on the door, but opened it and walked in.

Seeing Xia Zhining, who had already woken up in bed, she couldn't wait to speak, her expression full of excitement.

"Zhining, father... he was posthumously named Zhongsu by His Majesty."

"What?" Xia Zhining was still a little unresponsive.

Xia Zhiqing said excitedly: "The reason why His Majesty posthumously named my father was that my father died for his loyalty and respect in order to resist the rebellion of the Tianshi thieves and protect the lives of the people."
