Chapter 389: The Queen Mother is not good

When Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, the eunuch said, "Most of the people in the Tongzhou Left Guards believe in the White Lotus Sect, and they all respect the supreme old mother as saints. Many military officers inside were vegetarians with the supreme old mother. This time, the supreme old mother robbed Shouning Hou and instigated the Tongzhou Left Guards. Liu Xiao, the commander of the left guard, was killed. They directly occupied the Tongzhou Canal and robbed many grain ships, dispersed all the grains in the ships. Everyone in Tongzhou has a share. The magistrate of the Northern Tongzhou has fled, and the other yamen have also fallen into chaos. There are also many people in the Tongzhou Right Guards who follow the supreme old mother and can ascend to the Pure Land..."

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao was shocked and excited: "What did you say? What do you mean is that someone rebelled at my feet. This... is great. I want to lead my troops to fight against the thieves in person. Humph, so brave. These people dare to rebel under my nose. I really don't know how to live or die. It's so good, so good. I'm afraid they won't come. Why don't you order the guards immediately..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Another eunuch came in a hurry and fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager fainted."

This Empress Dowager Zhang is Zhu Houzhao's mother. When the late emperor was still alive, he did not accept a concubine, but only such a wife. Now that the late emperor has passed away, Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Zhang has only one son, so he naturally is even more doting towards Zhu Houzhao. However, her health has been bad recently, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but worry. Now that he heard that his mother fainted, Zhu Houzhao was so anxious that he jumped to Renshou Palace.

By the time Zhu Houzhao arrived at Renshou Palace, many people had already knelt here, including palace maids, eunuchs, and many imperial doctors were whispering anxiously outside.

Zhu Houzhao pulled an imperial doctor and said angrily: "What's going on? What's wrong with the queen?"

The imperial physician was old and said frightened: "Report to Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Empress is caused by worry..."

Zhu Houzhao ran into the bedroom like a gust of wind. When she saw Empress Dowager Zhang lying on the couch, she didn't respect her. She pushed a eunuch in front of the couch away and said, "My mother... what's wrong?"

"Oh." Empress Dowager Zhang looked very bad, and she looked worried: "It's good that the emperor is here. Ai's family asks you, what's wrong with Shouning Hou?"

Queen Mother Zhang had only two younger brothers and not many other relatives. When she heard that Shouning Hou had gone to Tongzhou, she was robbed. She was already scared and looked like a slut. She immediately fainted. When Youyou woke up, the first thing she did was to find the emperor. Whether this younger brother could be saved depends on the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Oh, this... I don't know... He wants to cultivate immortality anyway..."

Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to complain a few times, but when she saw her mother becoming more anxious, she simply shut up and said, "Nothing is going to happen. I am also worried about this matter. The Zuo Guard of Tongzhou has rebelled and joined forces with the people who have become displaced. I plan to lead the army to rescue the Marquis of Shouning. My mother is not impatient. When I bring 100,000 heavenly soldiers to fight, I will be wiped out by the thieves."

Empress Dowager Zhang was anxious, and his red and swollen eyes burst into tears: "You can't suppress it, you can't suppress it, this matter... You must not suppress it, Emperor... Emperor... You are the son of the Ai family. The Ai family knows that you are good for the mother, but the mother has only two brothers. Although they are not good at it, the Ai family knows these things, but... But no matter what, he is also a brother of the Ai family, your uncle. When you attack, those thieves are anxious to jump over the wall. What if you hurt the Shouning Hou? The emperor... The Ai family is better to die, and even his brothers cannot be preserved. Why are they called the Empress Dowager..."

Zhu Houzhao was rubbing his hands and thinking about a commander-in-chief. While he was worried about his mother's empress, he was thinking about how to defeat the enemy. Now, seeing her mother's empress's appearance, her heart suddenly became soft and her eyes turned red. She quickly covered Empress Zhang's hand and said, "Okay, everything is up to the empress, so... what should the empress say?"

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "In short, no matter how you want to keep the life of Shouning Hou, the rest are easy to say. As long as the thieves do not make arbitrary actions, there will always be a way..."

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly began to become fierce, and she was still in a miserable and miserable manner. She immediately became the old lady of the Zhang family and said seriously: "You can't indulge the thieves. You have to give them some pressure. While letting the army trap them, you can put them in a situation of burning them all at any time. Oh, are many of their believers imprisoned in prison? It's easy to deal with. Find a few less important believers and cut off their heads and send them to them. Of course... you must identify them well, and give their heads to the thieves to let them know their determination to fight against the court. Doing so is to prevent them from asking for a lot of prices and not give them an opportunity to take advantage of them."

"On the other hand, I appointed an imperial envoy to talk to them. As long as I am willing to hand over the Shouning Hou, everything else is easy to say. In short, I have to take into account the safety of Shouning Hou. The Ai family means that Shouning Hou cannot lose a hair."

"This is for the thief, but there must be a set of arguments against all officials. The thieves in Tongzhou blocked the Caohe River. This is a big deal, so Your Majesty has to invite a few cabinet ministers to come and tell them, you have to make it clear, and your attitude should be eased. If it is really not possible, Your Majesty has to kneel down and kowtow to them. Of course... This is just a statement. How dare they bear the great gift of Your Majesty? Your Majesty pretends to be afraid that they will be supported before they can stop. Your Majesty does this to tell those old ministers that Your Majesty will protect the Marquis of Shouning. After all, they will do it for the court and for Your Majesty.

Yes, I am afraid that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve. Sometimes for the sake of the court, I cannot do it for His Majesty. I have to accept the fact that I will rescue Shouning Hours at all costs. In this way, they can restrain all officials and not play tricks behind their backs. As long as the cabinet is willing to be one with His Majesty, the court will have no voice. At this time, the news must be blocked. How much can it be blocked? I am afraid that it will be spread. People in the world are talking about it. Everyone knows that the royal family will not hesitate to indulge the thieves in order to protect Shouning Hours. If there are thieves, how can we hold our royal family's face?"

"besides……"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when she heard this, thinking, why is the mother so energetic that she was almost dying just now? Could it be that she was looking back?

Oh, if this is the case... but what is good? But I immediately gave up this idea. After a flash of divine kung fu, I remembered the serious matter and said, "Mother, Mother... I can't remember it for a moment... I will say it slowly."
