After hearing the little emperor say something to Li Xu's attitude towards him before, Empress Dowager Song squinted his eyes and pondered.

The little emperor beside him didn't dare to say anything, and waited quietly.

A great treacherous like loyalty?

It is unlikely that a sixteen-year-old boy would have such a scheming!

Moreover, if Li Xu had a deep inner life, he would not have done anything to stand up for the unfair battle with the bully Tian family in Sanshui County, and it would be even more impossible to lead troops to confront Lin Ruhai and his son one after another.

Queen Mother Song has met countless people since she married into the royal family at the age of sixteen.

He is scheming, has no intention, seems loyal but cunning, seems shrewd but actually confused, and has everything.

Especially in the royal family, where there is no shortage of intrigue, conspiracy and intrigue, are in conflict with each other.

So she thinks she is very accurate in judging people.

But today I suddenly couldn't see clearly about a young man who was only sixteen years old.

If the many things that happened to Li Xu were separated, it would be normal to look at them alone in many people.

But focusing on him alone seems extremely contradictory.

The young man has the spirit of a strong and chivalrous heart, which is referred to as meddling in other people's business.

There is also the rebellious, impulsive and reckless side of a young man, which is called "Don't Know Your Life and Death".

He also has the courage to be brave and invincible, and is abbreviated as brave and invincible.

He said he was reckless and impulsive, and often he was extremely calm, clear-headed, and extraordinary.

He said he was calm and wise, and he had many reckless actions.

He said he didn't admire power, and he was very reluctant to be an official, and even went to Yaozhou City to take the martial arts exam himself.

But he is greedy for power, and has he acted domineeringly in his daily life? Today, he suddenly resigned with a firm attitude.

The many contradictions made Queen Mother Song even more unable to see what kind of person Li Xu was.

It seems that every template does not match his performance.

After a while, Empress Dowager Song opened her eyes again and looked at the emperor beside her.

What the emperor fears most on weekdays is that his mother, who is kind and gentle to others, but is strict with himself.

If you are not careful in your words and deeds, you will be punished to study and copy the homework assigned by the sutras and the Taifu in your study. You must not make any mistakes at all. Once you make a mistake or make a perfunctory approach, you must do it again.

He was depressed when he was in Tai Chi Palace on weekdays, and listening to the nonsense of the cabinet ministers in the cabinet made him depressed. When he returned to the harem, he had to face the strict empress dowager. The little emperor felt really bitter enough.

Every day when you see the queen mother, it is like a mouse or a cat, especially when the queen mother looks at him like this, he knows that nothing is good.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly lose your composure today? Don't fool the Ai family with those words just now."

Empress Dowager Song narrowed her eyes slightly at her son.

I know my son best. Although I am still a little childish, I will never give him a foreign minister as soon as I meet him. And I am the most trusted foreign minister of the Song family, who is now yelling to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

There must be other reasons here.

The emperor just described Li Xu as a traitor who had no king or father in his eyes. It made people feel that if this person is not eliminated, he will become a traitor.

But the Queen Mother is not so easy to fool.

The little emperor was a little panicked when facing his mother's slightly erect eyes, and his eyes were circling, trying to find an excuse to make excuses, but in the end he spoke: "I have heard too much from Li Xu's name, so I want to see what he has. Secondly, I think he was promoted too quickly and wanted to let him know that this is the grace of the queen, so that he should not be proud of him. Who knew that the guy was disdainful of the son, and the son was angry."

Just looking at your mother's eyes as if you continued to make up, the little emperor shrank his neck and finally whispered: "It was Wang Xiong who sent someone to send some foreign goods to the palace today, and there was also a letter. There was something mentioned in the letter, which was related to Li Xu."

Empress Dowager Song snorted coldly and said, "You are talking about the fact that Li Xu taught those Hu merchants a lesson in Ding'anfang yesterday?"

The little emperor looked at his mother in surprise: "Do you know everything about Mother?"

Empress Dowager Song snorted: "What do Wang Xiong want to do? Because Li Xu taught his people a lesson, he wanted to vent his anger with the might of you, the emperor?"

The little emperor hurriedly said, "Don't be upset about my mother. Wang Xiong was just worried that Li Xu would affect the business with Hu Shang. After all, Li Xu is now the admiral of the Nine Gate and is in charge of the defense of the capital. If he deliberately targets it, Wang Xiong's business will definitely be affected. And he is likely to notice the existence of Dark Sand. Now Wang Xiong's business is the main source of income for the treasury, and Dark Sand's funds are basically paid by this part of the expenditure, so no other unexpected factors can occur."

The calmness of what the little emperor said at this time was not as unwilling and mindless as before in front of Li Xu. Instead, there was a trace of deliberate conscience between his tender eyebrows.

"So you deliberately lost your composure today, trying to anger Li Xu, and then take the opportunity to take away his position as the Admiral of the Nine Gates for his crime of disrespect?"

Empress Dowager Song asked as she looked at her pretended son with a frown.

"My mother is wise, so my son's little thoughts can't be hidden from her mother's queen." The little emperor hurriedly smiled.

"Silly, be smart. Wang Xiong is stupid. You are smart, which disappoints the Ai family even more. Wang Xiong only mastered some of the peripheral power of the dark sand. Even if clues are really discovered, it will not affect the overall situation. Wang Xiong uses your name to be called the uncle in the capital, so he is so majestic. Now his behavior is becoming more and more arbitrary, and he even wants to use you as an emperor as a knife. He is really blind. Don't interfere in this matter anymore. A good observation of politics is what you have to do. After you take power in two years, this Ai family will hand it over to you."

After being scolded by his mother, the little emperor returned to his bedroom timidly.

After the little emperor left Zichen Palace, Mu Di quietly came to Empress Dowager Song.

"Give Wang Xiong some reminder. He has been a little inflated recently and he almost doesn't know who he is."

Queen Mother Song half closed her phoenix's eyes and leaned against the phoenix. A palace maid behind her gently rubbed her temples.

Mu Di bowed: "The old slave understands."

"In addition, what's wrong with Li Xu's background when Ai's family asked you to check?"

Mu Di hesitated and said, "Old Nu sent someone to Lijiazhuang, Sanshui County, but he was useless. The people sent were all capable people in the dark sand, but there was no news."

Empress Dowager Song's phoenix eyes, which had been half closed when she heard this, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Mu Di beside her.

“Continue.”

Mu Di said: "Later, Lao Nu sent people to continue inquiring, but found that Lijiazhuang was occupied by an army of unknown origin, and the original farmers were dispersed, and the mother and son of Lijiazhuang's master Chen family were not known whereabouts. The people sent by Lao Nu were all disguised by the secretly arranged by this army. The most suspicious point is that this happened before Admiral Li entered the capital, but he did not react at all, as if he was not concerned about his own affairs. This is also something that Lao Nu couldn't understand."

Empress Dowager Song's eyes suddenly became sharp when she heard this, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent.
