Chapter 6 Man will conquer the sky, and the room will be full of incense
Li Yuanhao's heart trembled, only to feel that there was a gust of wind behind him, and the little eunuch who was still frightened just now suddenly showed a trace of fierceness on his face, and a cold dagger slid into his hand, the tip of the sword rose, and he suddenly became difficult, stabbing at Li Yuanhao's heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yuanhao's scalp exploded, and his reaction in the next moment was also fast, stepping on the sour dates that rolled to the ground, and suddenly leaned forward, hoping to dodge the dagger coming from behind.
The dagger behind him slashed Li Yuanhao's clothes and missed, but the little eunuch killer was not discouraged, he suddenly gritted his teeth, and the dagger turned in a direction, stabbing Li Yuanhao's back from top to bottom.
At this time, Zhao Duling had also arrived, and a pair of snow-white hands, carrying wind and rain, were heavily imprinted on the little eunuch's chest.
The little eunuch looked at Zhao Duling with an incredible face, as if he had something to say, with a mouth, blood overflowed down his mouth, and the next moment, the little eunuch's body flew out of Cining Palace like a falling maple leaf.
Zhao Duling's body flashed, and he also followed, only to hear the little eunuch's extremely miserable cry echoing into the Cining Palace, and then there was no sound again.
The Queen Mother sat on a high place, looking at Li Yuanhao who had just stood up with a playful look: "The emperor is not good, why bother to be strong, Xiuce's age is not young, it is the age when you ascended the throne and became the emperor." ”
At this time, there were only the Queen Mother and Li Yuanhao in the dormitory, and the two of them also knew what happened back then, and there was nothing to hide.
Ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty court was turbulent, the first emperor and the queen died, leaving three children, the eldest son Li Yuanhao, the second daughter Li Yuanying, and the little prince Li Xiuce who was still in infancy, unfortunately, the eldest son Li Yuanhao suddenly contracted a strange disease, and soon died violently, the queen mother for the Li family, let the second daughter of the daughter Li Yuanying pretend to be Li Yuanhao to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and the split Southern Liang crossed the river to rule, and signed the Weishui Alliance with the northern Xiongnu, and the three states of Western Chu in the west were established as a country by default, and then there was today's Great Wei. Ten years have passed, the Queen Mother and Li Yuanying, who once depended on each other, parted ways because of power, and the contradictions became more and more intensified.
Now that Li Xiuce is ten years old, he is much easier to control than the emperor in front of him, not to mention that Li Yuanhao's daughter is a hidden danger in itself, and if she can't keep it, she will become an unreasonable hand that is difficult to solve one day.
The queen mother let the two concubines enter the palace in their prime, but the two concubines were not allowed to have sex with the emperor before the age of twenty, the purpose was to hide the identity of Li Yuanhao's daughter, but with the passage of time, some things will be revealed sooner or later, and the emperor with a male body is always reassuring, as for Li Yuanying's life and death, no one cares.
Li Yuanhao, who had palpitations, felt his back, his clothes were torn, but he did not hurt his body, which was a blessing in misfortune, and when he heard the words of the Queen Mother to make Li Xiuce the emperor, his face remained unchanged, and he said: "The Queen Mother, the grandson of sour dates has also eaten, if there is nothing else, the grandson will retire." ”
After saying this, she left Cining Palace without looking back.
At this time, Zhao Duling, who had finished killing, walked in, passed by Li Yuanhao, and said with a smile, "The slave respectfully sends His Majesty back to the palace", but there was no respect between the words.
The Queen Mother looked at the direction of Li Yuanhao's departure, raised her eyebrows, and said in a flat tone: "Governor, now you are suffering from the enemy, the emperor doesn't like you, Xiuce doesn't like you, it is not an easy thing to be disliked by both of them, you are also the only one, no matter who is in power between these two people in the future, your fate will be miserable, and it is good to be able to leave the whole corpse." ”
Zhao Duling bent down and bowed his head, with a flattering smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to help the queen mother who wanted to get up: "Ancestor, don't you worry too much, the master of the slave is you, this Great Wei State is turned upside down, no matter if the dynasty changes, even if the emperor's seat takes turns, as long as the ancestor does not kill the slave, the slave will not die." ”
The Queen Mother stopped, turned her head to look at Zhao Duling's pale eunuch face, and smiled: "You are not good at anything, but this is good, loyal and reassuring, you are a good dog." ”
"Ancestor Xie praised. The old dog began to wag his tail and beg for mercy in front of the Queen Mother again.
With the support of Governor Zhao, the Queen Mother walked a few more steps, suddenly stretched out a hand, tapped it a few times, and smiled slightly: "Oh, did the emperor have another affair with a little palace maid?"
"The master is like a god, and this morning a little palace maid came to the worship room, and the servant gave her some silver taels, sent her out of the city, and sent her on the road. Zhao Duling said lightly, and his tone was very light, but it seemed that there was something hidden.
The Queen Mother's old face showed a trace of unfathomable sneer: "If it is really those days, the emperor is young, his body is strong, it is inevitable that he is energetic, and there is an evil fire in his heart, he always needs to vent, but excessive indulgence will also break his body, let the imperial dining room prepare some crystal crabs and send them to the Qianqing Palace, so that His Majesty the Emperor will defeat the fire, lest he come to the house every night and drag his body down." ”
She naturally knew that Li Yuanhao had a period, and she also knew that women should not eat more shady food in those days, and crystal crabs were produced on the coast of the North Sea and were shady food.
"By the way, the mourning family asked you, was the little eunuch you instructed just now?" The Queen Mother changed her words and suddenly asked.
Governor Zhao did not hide it, and replied: "It was instructed by the slave, in order to remind Your Majesty that this palace is not peaceful, so you must always be careful." ”
"Mind you, only a traitor like you can say this in a high-sounding manner. Mourning the family, you are knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, give the emperor a dismount. The Queen Mother didn't blame Zhao Duling at all, "However, in the future, this kind of thing will be done less well, once or twice is fine, and if there are many times, the emperor can also taste one or two, if you poke the basket, things will not end well." Hey, he's the emperor anyway. ”
"Slaves follow the teachings of their ancestors. ”
After walking around the Cining Palace for a few laps, the Queen Mother suddenly felt a little tired, and sat down to rest: "Why haven't you seen Renfeng recently?"
There are two dogs beside the Queen Mother, one is the great eunuch Zhao Duling who is in charge of the inner court of the palace, and the other is Chu Renfeng, who is in charge of the assassination organization of the Great Wei, compared to the notorious "royal cat" Zhao Duling, Chu Renfeng is even more shady, and others can still spit behind their backs and scold Zhao Duling for being an "old dog", but they dare not chew their tongues to Chu Renfeng in private, because maybe Chu Renfeng's subordinates are listening next door.
Chu Renfeng has two major assassination organizations, one is the Imperial City Division that eradicates dissidents within the Great Wei Dynasty, and the other is the sticky pole that exercises the assassination mission externally, whether it is the Imperial City Division or the sticky pole department, all of which are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, have independent interrogation institutions and punishment privileges, and are only instructed by Chu Renfeng, while Chu Renfeng is not supervised by the court and is only sent by the Queen Mother.
Chu Renfeng has a more vicious nickname than Zhao Duling's "Royal Cat" - human slaughter - killing people is like slaughtering chickens and dogs.
Zhao Duling squinted his eyes for outsiders: "That living dead man doesn't know what conspiracy and tricks he is tossing in which corner, old ancestor, if the slave is not able to die well in the future, this Chu Renfeng must be cut by a thousand knives and died without a whole corpse." ”
The words of the great eunuch were heard by a small palace maid standing not far away, and then they would be compiled into a book and sent to an inconspicuous mansion in the south of Tai'an City, where Chu Renfeng, who was slender and had slender hands like needles, would gently open the booklet, and after seeing what Zhao Duling said, he smiled softly: "This old dog." ”
The Queen Mother sat for a long time, and her body was even more tired, and Zhao Duling was busy pinching the Queen Mother's shoulders to relieve her fatigue: "Ancestor, according to the slaves, many things in this flower room should be put down, just teach Miss Yuqing to take care of it, your top priority is to recuperate." Even if those flowers wither and wither, it is fate, the ancestors don't have to worry too much, not to mention the others, the bewitching peony, although it is beautiful, but it is also prickly, isn't it?"
The old eunuch had something to say, and the implication was that His Majesty Li Yuanhao had become the peony that pierced his hands, and he should be deposed as soon as possible, and he could not pay dividends, so as not to have many dreams at night.
"This truth is understood by the mourning family, but after all, it is cultivated by hand. Others do not believe that the mourning family can plant a full garden of spring in winter, the mourning family does not believe in this evil, this is not hard to pay off, the mourning family is to plant a room of colorful, to prove to the world, people will win the day. ”
At that time, the crisis of the Central Plains was imminent, and if he was not careful, the Li family could only appear in the history books.
"However, ancestor, now this peony not only pierces people, but also encroaches on the space of other flowers, which is becoming more and more difficult to control, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it may squeeze other flowers to death, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. The slave knew that the ancestor hoped to put the peony and peony in another room, and the two sides would not affect each other, but the fragrance of the flowers would also be all over the house. Inspector Zhao glanced at the Queen Mother cautiously, and said softly.
What he meant at a deep level was that now that His Majesty has grown up, he wants more, and Li Yuanhao's influence on Li Xiuce is too great, which is not a good thing after all.
Standing up, the Queen Mother walked to the pot of blooming peony flowers, the peony flowers were pruned very well, there were no extra branches, the roots were leafy, but the spikes on the branches were sharper, once accidentally pricked her hand, the pain in the heart, and the flowering period of the peony flowers also bloomed a few days earlier than she expected, the fragrance was extraordinarily strong, the whole house could be smelled, covering other flowers, the Queen Mother did not like such a standout, too dazzling, so that she could not raise her interest in other flowers, so she moved the peony flowers to another flower room to cultivate.
"After all, she is also my granddaughter, a descendant of my Li family, I can't bear it. After saying this, the Queen Mother suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head, obviously she herself felt that what she said was ridiculous, in front of power, family affection is something, since ancient times, how can a hero have children.
The old ancestor picked up a pair of sharp scissors, and with a click, cut off the peony that was in full bloom.
Looking down at the peony flowers scattered on the ground, the Queen Mother did not have a trace of pity: "Governor, take it out and throw it away, although it is a pity, but the fragrance of this flower is indeed too strong, and the mourning family does not like it, and even a little annoying." ”
