Chapter 135: Sneaking
Sometimes, things don't necessarily follow the predetermined development of ordinary people's thinking. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info some people lost the east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, and some people when they thought they could control the situation, but they lost their wives and soldiers.
Empress Dowager Tian turned the little emperor upside down at the court meeting, thinking that after the government and the opposition saw Zhao Xian's catties clearly, they would at least be quiet for a period of time and no longer clamored for Zhao Xian's pro-government. However, what I didn't expect was that only two days later, the governor Shi Xu, the same signed the Privy Council Chu Zhen, the imperial history of Cheng Su Quan and other major ministers and old ministers jointly wrote a letter and asked to see him outside the palace gate.
Waiting for the saint, Chu Zhen took the lead, and after the stone was awarded, there was no warning, and the sworn enemies who were incompatible with ice and fire in the past turned the spearhead this time, and made concerted efforts to provoke the Empress Dowager Tian.
More than a dozen important ministers knelt on the ground and asked the Empress Dowager Tian to half-remove the curtain and return to the emperor partially.
The courtiers of the Shangshu said that the little emperor was nearly 20 years old, and now he couldn't even figure out the ten sins of "being pardoned or not", and he couldn't even remember all the 25 states in Guangnan, all because he was behind closed doors and couldn't get in touch with political affairs. Everything can't be done overnight, now let the little emperor pro-government, will affect the normal operation of the court, but the queen mother has been hanging the curtain for more than ten years, hard work, it is time to enjoy the blessings, for today's plan, for the best of both worlds, please let the queen mother half remove the curtain, let the little emperor step by step, slowly familiar with political affairs.
In addition, the ministers also asked the queen mother to choose a concubine for Her Majesty as soon as possible to fill the harem and inherit the imperial heir.
Forced by the situation, Empress Dowager Tian had to agree to adopt their advice on the spot.
There was an uproar in the government and the opposition, and the courtiers spoke one after another, and half of them were seconded, even the most die-hard Queen Mother, at this moment, no one stood up clearly and opposed the little emperor's pro-government.
Empress Dowager Tian was so angry that she vomited blood.
The elders of the Three Dynasties who were so noisy in the past, the hardest ones have already been driven to the eastern capital of Luoyang, and only the remaining part does not look so rigid, but even if she has treated it so gently, they still have no gratitude at all.
There are also those junior officials who have been promoted over the years, and they don't want to think about what they relied on to climb to this position, but now that Zhao Xian is old, he dares to bite himself reflexively.
A dog is more loyal than they are!
Her anger reached its peak when she received the list of his favorite concubines copied by Zhao Xian, taking advantage of the presence of all the important ministers in the Vertical Arch Palace, half acting and half sincere, she handed the list to Wang Wenyi and said: "Let you have a look, the emperor has no family affairs, everyone will refer to it together." ”
As soon as the list was released, almost all the courtiers in the palace stopped one after another.
Zhu Bing, a university scholar, as a veteran of the two dynasties and a professor of the Son of Heaven, was also in the class.
The list had not yet reached him, but he understood very well why the courtiers who had jointly forced the Queen Mother to abdicate suddenly fell silent.
This list is the condensation of his painstaking efforts, and he has carefully analyzed the resources and family history behind each candidate with the little emperor. The Son of Heaven chooses the concubine, there is absolutely no way to choose only one, no matter who the Queen Mother chooses for the little emperor today, some of the important ministers in the palace at this moment will definitely become the in-laws of the Son of Heaven.
When it comes to their own bodies, everyone is worried about being included in the imperial history, so everyone keeps their mouths shut.
Empress Dowager Tian asked again, but the hall was still silent.
Zhu Bing had no choice but to stand up and say: "Although the emperor has no family affairs, His Majesty chooses the concubine, and it is naturally the queen mother who is in charge!" ”
As long as the candidate is on the list, he will not be sidetracked.
Empress Dowager Tian said "oh" and said: "I don't know about the side, it's just that Huang Zhao marries relatives, since Emperor Gaozu has been the most particular, that is, relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, and the others are just that, if the concubine is from this list, I am afraid that some of the powerful Qing family will have to let the virtuous...... You are all capable people, and I really don't want to. ”
She pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it beforehand. ”
On this side, the Empress Dowager Tian sent all the courtiers, suppressed her anger and slowly selected the concubine for the little emperor with the list, on the other side, Zhao Zhu pointed to the two vivid "grinding and drinking" clay puppet dolls on the table, and said to Nanping: "Send someone out, this time there are no more problems, if there is any mistake, you don't have to come back to see me." ”
The two dolls were only as big as birds, and they were both dressed in dry red vests and green gauze skirts, which looked very elegant and cute. If Zhou Qin is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this is exactly the same as Su Zhongchang, who was also a companion a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, begged to go back from the palace, and was halfway by his brother Zhou Yanzhi to take a small plastic clay doll for himself.
At that time, Su Zhongchang also came to ask for it, saying that Tian Chu asked him to ask for the doll.
At this moment, the identical dolls are standing on the table, and next to the dolls, there is a letter.
Nanping hurriedly responded, wrapped the doll carefully with a cloth, covered the letter with oiled paper, folded it a few times, and then put it away and went out.
In the early morning of the next day, the pair of dolls and letters were secretly hidden in the carriage and horses transporting filthy things, and were sent out of the forbidden palace.
Within a few days, the Great Xiangguo Temple has been famous for physiognomy for many years, but the old monk Zhisong, who has long been unwillingly face-to-face, accidentally saw Yang Miaofang, the eldest daughter of Yang Hanlin, who worships the Buddha in the temple, and only glanced at it from afar, and he seemed to say unintentionally, "It's really expensive and unspeakable......
The old monk Zhisong is highly respected, no matter where he goes, he will be followed by some believers, and when they hear this, you pass on me, I pass on you, and soon everyone will know.
This is a later story, so let's press it for the time being.
Many days ago, in the city of Guizhou, thousands of miles away, because there were only a few heavy rains, it was rare to get cold one night, and most people were enjoying a rare good sleep, but He Yaqing, who was temporarily left in the back office by Mrs. Zhao, secretly turned over and got up.
Lying under him was a bamboo bed, and he had to be very careful not to make a shaking sound, so he quietly changed into a strong suit, took some coils at random, gently pushed open the door, and walked towards the back door.
It was not two days after Zhou Yan, the protector of the country, led the troops to set off, and he set off now, rented two horses, and hurried to hurry, it should be in time.
He went through the route from Guizhou to Yongzhou again in his mind, thinking that there are many horses and horses in the protector of the country, and he must only take the official road, but he can take a shortcut by himself. I was thinking about how to walk the fastest, and soon I reached the wall.
He looked for a high wall on the side of the street, looked left and right, and planned to find a good place to stay, so that he could climb over the wall and get out. (To be continued.) )
