She is the empress of Emperor Xiaozhao, Emperor Xiaozhao died early, and the courtiers proposed to establish Liu He, the king of Changyi, and Liu He respected him as the queen mother after succeeding to the throne, but Liu He was deposed due to confusion and immorality after only 27 days on the throne. Subsequently, the imperial court agreed to establish a total of the grandson of the crown prince, that is, the current son, to be the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaowu to succeed the emperor. Now on the throne, according to the system of respecting the empress dowager as the empress dowager, but, soon, on the grounds that the king of Changyi did not join the imperial system, he still called him the empress dowager.

Whether she is respected as the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager, she is the most honorable woman in the Han Dynasty, even if she is older than the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and the Empress is her own aunt, she must also salute in front of her.

The Han world, what she really wants to do, even the Son of Heaven has no way to stop it, not to mention that Xu Shun is just a mere Changle Guard, to put it plainly, he is also the gatekeeper of Changle Palace, but Shi Gao hinted at him when he came to pass the edict before - it is best not to let the Queen Mother out of the palace, at this time, he can only try it hard.

The palace gate was originally open, and before Xu Shun entered and exited the gate, he saw the leading guide slowly coming out, reaching the straight road of the palace gate, and the purple chariot slowly drove to the west in the cluster of halogen and car.

As soon as they saw the knights, the guards did not hesitate, and immediately returned to their original positions, respectfully preparing to welcome the queen mother's chariot.

"Changle Weiwei Shun died to meet Her Majesty the Queen Mother (Note 1). Xu Shun broke out in a cold sweat and knelt beside the road.

The queen mother's car is driving on the gallop road, and the princes and kings are all not allowed to enter the gallop road without edicts, Xu Shun can't stop it even if he wants to, and he can only hope that the queen mother, who has always been tolerant, will not ignore her own greetings.

Siwei fluttered, the hair clanged softly, but the carriage showed no signs of stopping, and finally slowly walked past Xu Shun's side.

Xu Shun only felt a thunder in his ears, and his chest ached faintly because of the feeling of his heartbeat, and his brain was confused, and there was only a trace of clarity but infinite chagrin—why bother? Anyway, Shi Gao was also hinting, he just didn't understand!

Xu Shun is certainly in turmoil, but how can the queen mother in the car be calm and stop the water?

In fact, after boarding the car, the Empress Dowager Shangguan was immersed in her own thoughts and did not hear Xu Shun's voice at all. Seeing that the car was about to leave the palace gate, Changyu (Note 2), who was riding with him, was really helpless, and reached out and pulled the ribbon around her waist, she was suddenly startled, and her gaze at Changyu was unprecedentedly sharp.

Seeing her come back to his senses, Changyu hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, but a thought flashed in his mind - after all, she was also from Jiangmen, no matter how gentle she was, she had a terrifying majesty when her expression moved, not to mention, she still had the blood of the Huo family!

"Your Majesty, Captain Changle is greeting outside. Regardless of the fact that his mind was not yet calm, Changyu hurriedly explained, and before he heard the Empress Dowager speak, he heard the older companion beside him snort coldly: "If you think that Changxin Palace is not good, how about asking Your Majesty to send you to Weiyang Palace?"

"I don't mean that!" Changyu argued in horror. Unfaithfulness to the Lord, no matter when or where, is not a capital sin that cannot be atoned.

"Changyu, she is also kind. The Empress Dowager Shangguan sighed and waved her hand to stop the older female official's pursuit, "Stop!"

The young Changyu was just about to get up and go out to deliver the edict, but the elder held him on the back of his shoulder with one hand and couldn't move.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, stop at this moment, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to get out of the palace gate. The older female officer worriedly advised, "It's better to ignore it." ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan did not answer immediately, her hands slowly fiddled with the four-colored yellow red ribbon tied around her waist, and after a while, she smiled lightly: "It's okay." Since Xu Shun did not close the palace gate, it can be seen that there is no edict from the county official. ”

The older female officer frowned slightly, but she didn't insist any longer, let go of her hand and got up to go out, and actually went to deliver the edict in person.

The car shook slightly, and slowly stopped, Changyu breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the young queen mother say indifferently: "If you don't have the heart to betray the master, don't think too much, so that your words and deeds are out of proportion." ”

"Be taught. Nagayu bowed his head again, his forehead pressed against the felt in the car.

*****

When the car stopped, Xu Shun almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, a guard behind him saw the opportunity quickly and quietly helped his back, and he barely managed to stabilize his figure.

After a while, the door of the car opened slightly, and a female official who looked not young walked out of the car, stood on the wooden steps, and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager's edict: Changle Weiwei is exempted." But he didn't even glance at Xu Shun, and then said to the palace man who was standing next to the car with his hands in his hands: "Everything else is fine, get up!"

Xu Shun stood up with a spirit, ran to the side of the purple car where the Empress Dowager was riding, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the minister has something to do, please allow your Majesty to meet with you." ”

Chang Yu, who was passing the edict, turned around to enter the car, and when he heard Xu Shun's urgent words, he couldn't help but sneer and turned around: "Your Majesty is not going to have anything to do......?"

"Xu Jun can wait for me (Note 1) to return to the car and then perform. The voice of the Empress Dowager Shangguan was still as gentle as water, but Xu Shun did not dare to fight anymore.

Since succeeding Deng Guanghan as the captain of Changle in the second year of the Dijie, Xu Shun has gradually become familiar with the Empress Dowager Shangguan. It was difficult for him to tell others what kind of person the Empress Dowager Shangguan was. Indeed, as he had heard before, the Empress Dowager Shangguan was gentle, although her status was noble, she did not have strict rules for everything she should do, and she was a very easy-going person, but the more familiar he was, the more he felt that this Empress Dowager was definitely not what most people thought - just a puppet in Huo Guang's hands.

Several times when he really met her, he always felt that he was not facing the young empress dowager, but the deceased Great Sima General Huo Guang - no matter how gentle Huo Guang's attitude was, the Xu family always trembled, as if there was a sharp blade behind his back, and his heart was full of anxiety and anxiety. - The Empress Dowager, who looked very weak, always made him feel a similar, vague but lingering powerful oppression.

Is it because of the natural bearing that he has been in a high position for a long time? Xu Shun is not sure.

In any case, right now, Xu Shun doesn't have the courage to contradict her decision.

Watching Changyu walk to the car and the palace people to withdraw the wooden steps, seeing that the car was about to start, Xu Shun thought about the emperor's edict and Shi Gao's hints, and finally mustered up the courage and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, last night Shi Gao passed on the edict: without the edict of the county official, no one is allowed to enter the Changle Palace." I respectfully ask Your Majesty to think twice. ”

His voice was not high, but there were definitely a lot of people who heard it inside and outside the car, so the car did not move, and the accompanying palace people looked at each other, and many people stood in place with stiff expressions.

I don't know how long the strange atmosphere lasted, maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a long time, anyway, Xu Shun only felt that his close-fitting silk robe had been soaked with sweat, and only then did he hear the voice of the Empress Dowager Shangguan sound again, and he said in a very confused tone, "What does Xu Jun want me to think about?"

Xu Shun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt speechless, but he heard the Empress Dowager Shangguan ask very seriously: "If the county official has an edict, he must have something to refer to, and if he has not told him, it must be something that does not need to be asked...... But you have to think twice...... But Xu Jun didn't tell the county official the edict in full?"

The minister did not dare to do so. Xu Shun defended angrily, "Minister...... The minister just felt that if His Majesty wanted to travel, the minister should still give the county official this edict...... "He can't say that he, like Shi Gao, thinks that since the emperor has issued such an edict, the queen mother had better not leave Changle Palace."

“…… Xu Jun bothered. The Empress Dowager Shangguan was silent for a moment before answering softly, the meaning of her tone was unclear, but the meaning was very clear, "I am about to see the county official, and I will ask the county official what he means." ”

The Empress Dowager and her entourage drove slowly out of the West Gate and drove along the straight road between the east and west palaces to the east of the Weiyang Palace.

Xu Shun stood on the palace wall, looking at the east of Weiyang Palace from afar. When he saw the guards acting in a hurry, the queen mother did not approach the palace gate, the high palace gate had been opened, and all the guards returned to their positions, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly walked down the palace wall. Walking through the palace gate, he suddenly found that Du Yannian's car was still there, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he walked over quickly, and said puzzledly: "Jianping Hou still doesn't go to Taifu Temple?"

Du Yannian leaned on the corner of the car he was sitting on, and smiled softly: "Captain Changle, how long do you think Yannian's servant can be a servant?"

Xu Shun was slightly surprised, but he was speechless, he could only look at Du Yannian and tell the emperor with a smile: "Go home!"

Note 1: The Empress Dowager's honorific title of "Your Majesty" and self-proclaimed "I" are not made up by Yi Chu, in the "Hanshu • Huo Guang Biography" when the ministers asked the Empress Dowager to abolish Liu He, she was called "Her Majesty the Empress Dowager", and in the "Hanshu • Biography of Foreign Relatives" Wang Zhengjun issued an edict that was "Xiaoxuan Wang Empress, my aunt", "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" are not the only above two original texts, therefore, it is certain that the Empress Dowager of the Western Han Dynasty is the same as the Son of Heaven, she is honored as "Your Majesty", and the official self-title is "I".

Note 2: Changyu, also known as the female princess, is the name of the female official in the palace of the queen of the Han Dynasty, and the chief of the palace maids. "Hanyi Note" notes that "there is a female chief emperor, who is more than a servant." Is the palace chief so evil?"
