"My minister Yang Yuanqing meets the Queen Mother!"

In the Ziyu Hall of Jinyang Palace, Yang Yuanqing respectfully bowed to Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao felt a little sick today and seemed very tired. It was only because it was Yang Yuanqing who met her that she forced herself to come forward to meet her.

"The King of Chu doesn't have to be too polite."

Empress Xiao’s voice was soft, “Is there anything wrong with the King of Chu coming to see Ai’s family?”

"You reported to the Empress Dowager that he was impeached by the Censor for killing the court officials without permission. Ziwei Pavilion has approved the impeachment order. I came to apologize to the Empress Dowager and ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict to punish the empress dowager!"

"What!"

Empress Xiao was half leaning on the soft couch, and Yang Yuanqing's words suddenly shocked her to sit up, widened her eyes, and looked at Yang Yuanqing with some disbelief, "What is the King of Chu talking about?"

Yang Yuanqing took out the impeachment order from Ziwei Pavilion and presented it to Empress Xiao with both hands. A palace maid stepped forward and transferred the impeachment order to Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao opened the impeachment order and looked briefly, and seemed to understand a little. The King of Chu was impeaching himself and posing as an admonition.

Empress Xiao sighed secretly. Her husband, the late emperor Yang Guang, never accepted advice. Even if he was willing to act, he would not. If he was willing to listen to the minister's advice, he would not die and the country would be buried in Yangzhou.

"The Ai family understands, I wonder what Your Highness needs the Ai family to do?"

Of course, Yang Yuanqing could not teach Empress Xiao what to do. He believed Empress Xiao would understand what to do. He bowed again, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I am willing to accept any punishment from the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing refused to say it clearly, Empress Xiao had to nod, "The Ai family understands it, let the Ai family consider it!"

"The Queen Mother is not in good health, so I dare not disturb you too much. Please pay attention to your care and say goodbye!"

Yang Yuanqing bowed and said goodbye. Empress Xiao sat there for a while, feeling extremely tired, so she helped the palace maid back to the inner palace to rest.

Empress Xiao returned to her bedroom and sat on the soft couch. A palace maid brought her a bowl of medicine, "Empress Dowager, just decocted medicine. Drink it while it's hot!"

Empress Xiao thought about how to punish Yang Yuanqing again. Of course, she would not cause trouble for herself. Yang Yuanqing was just acting. She could only punish her irrelevantly, but even if it was irrelevant, it made her feel very difficult.

Empress Xiao felt a headache and could not think about anything anymore. She had to put the impeachment order aside and took the medicine bowl. At this time, a palace maid said at the door: "Empress Dowager, Your Highness, King Jinling, is here to visit."

"Let him in!"

King Ling of Jin was the former emperor's eldest grandson Yang Yan. When he arrived in Taiyuan, he was naturally not his turn to the emperor. Yang Yuanqing originally wanted Yang You to confer him as King Yu, but Empress Xiao refused, and Empress Xiao insisted on conferring him as King Xiaoyao.

But Yang Yuanqing felt that it was inappropriate, and King Xiaoyao was a little joking. Finally, he adopted the Ziwei Pavilion's opinion and changed the title of King of Jinling. Jinling County was later in Changzhou. The hometown of Yang Neng's mother was actually the prince, avoiding being the king of the same level as Yang Yuanqing.

But even if he is the King of Jinling, he is still an idle king. He does nothing every day, and Yang Qing feels bored, so he indulges in wine and sex, numbing himself with good wine and women's sex, and escaping reality.

Yang Yuanqing promised the Crown Prince Yang Zhao to give his three sons a lifetime of peace, but he did do it, but their identities were a bit difficult to resettle.

The second son Yang Tong abandoned the world and became a monk at Jinyun Temple. He then followed the leader to the south to Tiantai Mountain, worshiping Master Zhang'an, the fifth ancestor of Tiantai Sect, as his teacher, and devoted himself to studying Buddhism.

Although his third son Yang You was the emperor, he loved studying science and was obsessed with the vast sea of ​​books every day. He never asked about political affairs, accidentally left the palace, and went to great scholars to discuss science. It can be said that he had a sense of hope.

Only the eldest grandson Yang Qing had great ambitions and could not forget the great Sui Dynasty ruled by the emperor and grandfathers, and was determined to revive the great Sui country. But seeing that Yang Yuanqing had a foregone conclusion on the Sui Dynasty, he felt depressed, but he could not relieve himself. He had to use wine to drown his sorrows and indulge in balm and fine wine.

Yang Neng walked into the palace of the emperor's grandmother and bowed to salute, "Grandson greeted my grandmother and wished her good health!"

Empress Xiao saw Changsun’s footsteps floating and his eyes swollen. At first glance, it was a sign of excessive alcohol and color. It was exactly the same as the second son Yang Ming back then. She sighed in her heart and said earnestly: “Grandma is just a little sick and she will recover after two days of recuperation, but you are seriously ill. Ng’er, if you indulge in alcohol and color like this, how can your father feel at ease in the Spirit of Heaven?”

Yang Qing was silent and said for a while: "My grandson knew he was wrong."

Empress Xiao has heard his words "I know I am wrong" for many times, but Empress Xiao also knew that if he didn't give his grandson wine and women, he would be even more angry and might do something.

Empress Xiao was also annoyed. Why couldn't he find a sustenance like his brothers and be an ordinary person, and he had to be in love with the world. Without soldiers and power, who would work hard for him?

Empress Xiao had no choice but to be out of sight, so she waved her hand and said, "Thank you for coming and greeting you, go!"

"The grandson leaves."

Yang Qing turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes fell on the impeachment order on the table. It was actually a memorial, but it was sealed with a red condom, so it was called the impeachment order.

Yang Qing was very familiar with this format. He was stunned. Why did the impeachment order exist in his grandmother's room? Could it be that the rumored impeachment of Yang Yuanqing outside?

"Grandmother...why is there an impeachment order here?" Yang asked hesitantly.

"This is Ziwei Pavilion impeached King Chu of Yue Quan, and the King of Chu apologized to the Ai family. This incident caused a headache for the Ai family!"

Yang's heart became hot, and he couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Grandmother, it's better to let my grandson share my worries for my grandmother."

"Do you have any plan?" Empress Xiao picked up the impeachment order from the table and asked him tiredly.

Yang Neng said nervously: "Sun's son suggested that... he could move the government but not the army, retain military power, and remove the post of King Chu... from the Shangshu Ling."

"All nonsense!"

With a 'bang!', Empress Xiao slapped the table hard and scolded him angrily: "I'm not so confused yet. If you want to die, you just die. I still want to live."

Yang Qing was so scared that he quickly saluted, "The grandson just made a suggestion, grandmother, don't be angry."

"Hmph!" Empress Xiao snorted heavily, "Do you think I don't understand what you think? You think you can take the opportunity to remove Yang Yuanqing's regime. You are too stupid and childish. You forgot whose world this is!"

Yang Yan lowered his head, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the world of my Great Sui Dynasty!"

When Empress Xiao saw that he was obsessed with it, she became even more angry, "Why don't you say that this is the world of the Great Zhou, why don't you say that this is the world of the Great Wei, why don't you say that this is the world of the Great Han, the Sui Dynasty has long been destroyed, do you know?"

"I have no idea!"

Yang Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes burst red, and the anger that was stuffed in his chest suddenly burst out. He pointed at Empress Xiao and shouted: "The Sui Dynasty is destroyed, what are you? Are you the Empress Dowager, whose empress dowager is? For the sake of glory and wealth, you kneel in front of Yang Yuanqing like a dog, making accomplices for the tiger, and betray the Sui country. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Empress Xiao was so angry that she trembled all over. She shook her body and fainted suddenly. She was so scared that three palace maids supported her and shouted: "Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!"

Yang Qing stretched out his arms and shouted to the sky, "I am the Great Sui Dynasty!"

He turned around and left Empress Xiao’s bedroom in great pain. After only a moment, Empress Xiao woke up. She looked at both sides and asked in a low voice: “Where is that beast!”

"Empress Dowager, he has returned to the palace."

Queen Xiao grabbed the three palace maids and whispered: "You promise me that the words he said just now must not be spread, otherwise we will die without a place to die."

The three palace maids have followed Empress Xiao since childhood, and have been with her for at least twenty years. There are only three of them in Empress Xiao’s bedroom. The three of them nodded quickly and agreed, “Don’t worry, Empress Dowager! We all understand.”

Empress Xiao sighed again, "I have to find a way to send this beast away, otherwise he will really kill me."

"But send him away and you must agree to the King of Chu."

Empress Xiao focused on her mind for a moment, "I have a way to get the King of Chu to agree."

She asked the palace maid to help her sit up, and said to the palace maid: "Give me my Vajra Bracelet."

Empress Xiao always carried a treasure chest with her. She had carried it with her since she became the queen. There were 72 pieces of jewelry inside, each of which was priceless. The diamond bracelet she mentioned was one of them. It was a treasure of the queens since the Jin Dynasty. It was inlaid with 108 diamonds. The largest diamond was the size of a pigeon egg, which was extremely precious.

After a moment, the palace maid took the diamond bracelet with a vermilion plate, "Empress Dowager! Here."

Empress Xiao gently stroked the dazzling diamond bracelet, and asked the palace maid to take an ivory box, put the bracelet into the box, and handed it to a palace maid, "I heard that Peihua gave birth to a son and gave the bracelet for me, just as a gift for me to the child."

The palace maid was shocked. The empress dowager's 72 pieces of jewelry were appointed by the emperor. The seventy-two pieces were perfect. She never gave it to anyone, and even the princess of Nanyang had never given it. Now she was going to give it to her as a gift. The palace maid hurriedly said, "Mr., if you send the bracelet away, there are only seventy-one pieces of jewelry."

Empress Xiao couldn't bear to bear it, but no matter how precious the jewelry was, it was not as precious as her life, and the glory and wealth she had in her later years. She was less than fifty years old this year. If she was well maintained, she could live for thirty years.

However, Yang Yuanqing could only provide her with the meticulous maintenance of living in the harem. Now it is a chaotic time. With her former queen of the Sui Dynasty, if she had not been protected by Yang Yuanqing, she would have been ruined long ago.

Empress Xiao knew very well how important Yang Yuanqing was to her. As her grandson said, she knelt in front of him like a dog, and she was not wrong. If Yang Yuanqing was willing, it would be okay for her to even give her body to him, but...

Queen Xiao sighed, "Go! Leave it to Princess Chu."

The palace maid knew that the empress dowager must have thought carefully, so she nodded, took the ivory box and left. At this time, Empress Xiao sat up again and said to another palace maid: "Get the pen and ink!"

Two palace maids brought a small table and took out pens and ink. Empress Xiao spread out the impeachment order, pondered for a moment, then took the pen and wrote in the back: "Minor crimes should not be severely punished. They can be removed from the position of the Grand Tutor of the King of Chu and have their salary for half a year to show warning!"

After writing, she put down her pen, took the empress dowager's treasure seal, and stamped her seal next to the instructions.
