Chapter 676

"You have been with Shiyuan this year?" After a while, the Empress Dowager asked.

"Exactly." Mu Cen answered, "I've always been in the border with my fourth highness."

"What's the view over there?" The Empress Dowager seems to be recalling, "when the former Emperor was alive, the AI family once went to the border with the former Emperor. It seems that there was no spring and autumn, only winter and summer left. It's hot in summer and freezing in winter. "

The Empress Dowager expressed her impression of the border in her memory: "however, the border is also an important border area. There are countless merchants coming and going, and the trade is also very prosperous. You can find anything rare in the frontier. "

"That's right." Mu Cen answered.

"Are you used to it there?" The Empress Dowager looks down at Mu Cen.

Mu Cen laughed: "at first, I was not used to it, but after a long time, I fell in love with it."

"If you like it, why go back to Kyoto?" The tone of the Empress Dowager was casual, but it was questioning.

Questioning Mu CEN is not much different from questioning Li Shiyuan.

Mu Cen's appearance here, in a sense, is also the meaning of Li Shiyuan. This kind of questioning is to ask why they want to force the palace.

Mu Cen didn't get angry. He looked at the Empress Dowager quietly, and then said, "the wanderer will come back after all. Niang Niang, if one's long cherished wish is not fulfilled, it will be a lifelong regret. "

It's quiet.

However, he clearly told the Empress Dowager that Li Shiyuan had nothing to do with leaving home. He was forced to drift away, and naturally he would come back one day. And this long cherished wish is also Li Shiyuan's idea for a long time. If you don't want to regret, it will come true.

Finish saying, Mu Cen fearless empress dowager's eyes, so calm looking at.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything.

Mu Cen followed the Empress Dowager's words and slowly entered the main topic: "in fact, cen'er came to find Niang Niang. Niang Niang already knew why cen'er came."

The Empress Dowager didn't deny it or admit it, but the fact is that it is, and she has known it for a long time.

The Empress Dowager is extremely cautious in this matter.

"Today, in Dazhou, the world is in chaos, and his fourth Highness has only done something to conform to the people's will. Otherwise, in the near future, there will inevitably be riots in Dazhou, and the surrounding small countries are eyeing. At that time, Dazhou's life will be ruined, and the people will be displaced. Is this what the Empress Dowager wants to see? "

Mu Cen's voice was slow, so he asked the Empress Dowager: "Mu Cen thought, too kind-hearted, absolutely do not want to see such a picture."

The Empress Dowager still didn't speak and kept quiet, but she didn't refuse Mu Cen, just listening to Mu Cen's words.

After a moment's silence, Mu Cen said slowly: "the return of the fourth highness is not only the will of the people, but also the will of heaven. Since ancient times, it has been said that the person holding the seal must be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. The fourth highness came back with the jade seal. Isn't that what the ancestors meant? "

This words, let empress dowager shocked for a while, looking at Mu Cen's eyes some can't believe.

"Yes, empress dowager, the fourth Highness has come back with the jade seal." Every word of Mu CEN is very clear.

The Empress Dowager relaxed for a long time. Her face changed slightly. She said for a long time, "is this really Providence?"

Mu Cen didn't answer, just looked at it calmly.

Mu Cen could guess what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

In those years, outsiders may not know the truth about Rong Fei, but Li Changtian knows her identity, and naturally the Empress Dowager also knows her identity. So it's not unreasonable for the Empress Dowager to be partial to Li Shiyuan. In her heart, the Empress Dowager always thinks that Rong Fei is a bad person.

How can the child of the witch become the king of the Zhou Dynasty?

This is what Rong Fei and Mu Cen said in the cave of the cliff.

So over the years, Li Shiyuan has been ignored by the Li family. In other words, the Li family has never regarded Li Shiyuan as their own person, only Li Changtian.

"Lady." Mu Cen said quietly, "Mu Cen dares to say that Mu Cen knows the mind of the empress, but it's all in the past. How innocent is the fourth Royal Highness? It's like being born in a common people's home and an emperor's home is life, and there's no choice. And now the most important thing for Dazhou is to have a wise king and make Dazhou prosperous. "

“……”

"Otherwise, the empress would have no face to see the ancestors of Da Zhou, would she?" Mu Cen finished.

And fengluan palace, completely quiet down.

Mu Cen doesn't talk much any more. Some of his words are boring. Mu Cen knows this very well.

But the action in Mu Cen's hand didn't stop until the Empress Dowager waved. Mu Cen stood up.

The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Cen and said, "you came here tonight for the sake of the power in the hands of the AI family. You want the AI family to stand on the side of the fourth Royal Highness, don't you?"

"Yes." Mu Cen did not hide his thoughts. "His fourth highness will come to the Empress Dowager to say hello on a special day. There is chaos in the palace today. I'm afraid the fourth highness can't come here. That's why cen'er came first. "

Between the lines, there is respect for the Empress Dowager.

For a long time, the Empress Dowager sighed: "this is all life."

Said, too thick shook his head, did not say anything.

Mu CEN is very clear, the Empress Dowager is agreed, as long as the people on the side of the empress dowager, can stand in Li Shiyuan this, then the overall situation is completely stable.

The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for decades, and her foundation is very deep, which is totally unmatched by people outside.

The people in the hands of the Empress Dowager are the elders of this dynasty. If they speak up, those who disagree will choose to keep quiet.

What's more, the Qu family can't keep it.

"Thank you, Mu Cen." Mu Cen blessed himself and said thanks.

The Empress Dowager waved and didn't say anything: "I'm tired. You can go back, too."

"Yes." Mu Cen answered.

Mu Cen didn't stay much in fengluan palace. It's a sleepless night for people in this imperial palace.

When Mu Cen went out to the gate of the palace, the Empress Dowager suddenly said, "I have something to ask."

"Say it, madam." Mu Cen turned and looked at the Empress Dowager respectfully.

The Empress Dowager said directly: "I don't want to see the flesh and blood of the Li family any more. Even if it is to distribute the frontier, even if it is to deprive all the power, or even become a prisoner, but I hope the emperor, don't let the Li family bleed again. "

This is also a plea for other princes of the Li family.

Mu Cen knows.

"The emperor resents people, and the AI family knows that the AI family can't stop them. But for the rest, please be merciful. " The Empress Dowager finished her speech quietly.

Mu Cen looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "OK, I'll pass it on to the emperor."

Before, Mu Cen called Li Shiyuan his fourth highness because the Empress Dowager called him that.
