"Official, official?" When the sky was bright, in the birthday hall of the emperor's dormitory, the sound of the attendant carefully calling outside the dragon couch bed sounded.

"What?" After half a ring, a hoarse voice began to sound in the bed.

"The Queen Mother's side Luo Gonggong has something to do, so he is waiting outside the palace at this time."

"Where should Yan Wen be?" Zhao Zhen asked in the bed.

"Official, the little one is back." During the questioning, Yan Wen should have taken three steps and made two steps to the bedside.

"What's going on out there?" Knowing Suosuo's voice, Zhao Zhen had already sat up. After being slightly drunk last night, it was getting late, Zhao Zhen did not go to any concubines' place, only returned to his dormitory, and after some arrangements, the night was already deep, and Fang slept for a few hours, which was woken up again.

Yan Wenying hurriedly beckoned the two chamberlains to hang up the tent, and seeing that Zhao Zhen had no intention of getting up, he handed over the hot tea again. And the two chamberlains didn't wait for Yan Wenying to wave their hands, and they had already retreated with great eyes.

"Early this morning, a group of important ministers led by Lord Zeng of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Shumen, and Taiwanese officials headed by Fan Zhongyan, the right secretary and the imperial historian, knelt in front of the vertical arch hall, and many royal relatives and ministers of the court and hundreds of people wrote to the queen mother at the same time, and also asked the queen mother to return to the official family and retire to the deep palace." Yan Wenying said in a low voice.

"Luo Chongxun came to the Birthday Hall for this? How did the Queen Mother react? Zhao Zhen's face was mocking.

"The Queen Mother was unwell after the Taimiao Festival yesterday, and she is still resting on the couch, and she encountered this incident early this morning, and the Queen Mother was angry and angry, so she ordered Father-in-law Luo to report to the official family, and the official family will deal with it at its discretion." Yan Wenying sent someone early in the morning to find out the ins and outs of this matter and how the Queen Mother should deal with it.

"Yesterday I was blown by the wind after drinking, and this time my body is still not good. The queen mother's birthday, the world's amnesty, the three days of the boycott, since the boycott, today I will not go to the imperial study, so I will rest in the dormitory for a day. ”

Zhao Zhen paused and then instructed Yan Wenying, "Yan Wenying, you go out and tell Luo Chongxun that I really have no spirit today, so you can go with him to the front of the Vertical Arch Palace, and let those adults disperse." Tell those adults that they will return to power, and the Queen Mother has already planned to make them not need to be so persecuted. ”

Yan Wenying hurriedly lowered his head in response, then quietly looked up at Zhao Zhen's unslighted and uncomfortable face, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Official, do you want to send the imperial doctor to treat you?" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard it, he chuckled, "Pass!" Naturally, it will be passed on! ”

Luo Chongxun outside the palace was easily sent back to the Queen Mother because he failed to see the official family, and he was unwilling, saying that the Queen Mother ordered him to see the official family with his own eyes and enlighten him personally.

"Father-in-law Luo is soft, the official family has fallen asleep, you and I must not disturb the official family's rest, not to mention that the official family has already ordered our family to run this trip with you, if the noise provokes the holy wrath, you and I can't afford it." Yan Wenying said lightly.

When Luo Chongxun heard this, he had no choice but to follow Yan Wenying to the front of the Hanging Arch Hall to advise the ministers.

At noon, Luo Chongxun hurriedly returned to Baoci Palace covered in sweat, at this time the Queen Mother Liu E was still leaning on the couch and tasting bird's nest, seeing Luo Chongxun stepping into the inner room of Chonghui Hall with a gloomy face, he handed the bowl to the people next to him, took the handkerchief and tried his mouth, looked at Luo Chongxun, and asked, "How?" ”

Luo Chongxun was busy kneeling on the ground and said uneasily, "Empress Dowager, the official family is unwell today, so I only ordered Yan Wenying to follow me to persuade everyone in front of the Vertical Arch Palace, but those adults refused to disperse and said what they said. Luo Chongxun didn't dare to continue.

"What do those old stubborns say?" Liu E looked at Luo Chongxun coldly and asked.

Luo Chongxun dropped a drop of sweat on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Those adults said that the Queen Mother has been in charge of the government for a long time, and now the official family has become an adult, and she handles state affairs like a wise monarch." The Empress Dowager once said in person that she would withdraw the curtain and return to the government, but now she has not returned to the official family, and has been ridiculed by neighboring countries, which has made my Great Song Dynasty lose face. If the Empress Dowager wants to learn from that Ji Si Chen, follow the example of Tang Shiwu, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will kneel down and bow down to the palace, even if the first emperor is afraid of the spirit of the sky, he will not agree. ”

"What?" The Queen Mother's eyes showed a cold light, and she asked sharply, "Who said this great rebellion?" ”

Luo Chongxun, who had just raised his head, heard the Queen Mother's loud drink, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed again and again, and said in a trembling voice, "This is what Fan Zhongyan, the right minister, said, and the ministers echoed. ”

"Fan Zhongyan? How dare a lowly person say such a sinful remark, the right officer? The official family promoted his official position to the right officer, and it turned out that he had this intention. The Queen Mother sneered, "The official family is really calculating, and I'm afraid that I'm not feeling well, right?" This monarch and minister teamed up to play a good show. ”

"Alas! Now that things have forced me to come here, can I be an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty and the world? Liu E sighed and said, "That's it, that's it!" ”

"Luo Chongxun, you go and tell the official family, just say that I originally wanted to return to the government with him after his birthday, but these people can't wait so much, now I just wait for my health to be a little better so that I can tell the ministers in the court." Liu E paused, her face showed a lonely look, and said, "If you bring a message to the official family, you will say that he will solve the affairs of the ministers in front of the Hanging Gong Palace." ”

After Luo Chongxun came out, Liu E seemed to be extremely tired, waved his right hand, and the people around him bowed their heads and exited the door, and gently closed the door of the inner room of the Chonghui Palace.

At this time, there was still a palace maid standing in the inner corner, and she bowed her head and remained silent from the beginning. It is strange that no one has called her to leave with the person who is the right person to serve her.

The man saw that only she and the Queen Mother Liu E were left in the room, so she moved her steps and slowly stepped forward, and when she arrived at Liu E's bed, she raised her head, but it was an ordinary face, and she said, "The Queen Mother, now that you have been forced to return to power, are you still unwilling to do it?" As soon as this man opened his mouth, his voice was extremely low and hoarse, and he was extremely depressed in his heart.

Liu E stared at her with a calm face and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

A sneer appeared on the man's face, "What if I don't wait, you are a person with a strong sense of power, and since then you have been willing to live in this lonely palace for a long time and do nothing?" ”

Liu E snorted and said, "I have no rights, and I am also the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, I can do nothing and live freely, who can interfere with me?" The official family still calls me to be the eldest lady. Then she stared at the man with deep eyes and said, "Yes, you should stop anything that is meaningless!" ”

The palace maid lowered her head and forced Liu E to say gloomily, "Don't you think that you are still a saint, you are living freely, we don't want to stay with you in this Laoshizi Palace anymore." Besides, the Lord can't wait, if you put it off any longer, I'm afraid someone will let you do it immediately," he made a gesture.

Liu E said coldly, "Are you scared of me?" What are you to dare to talk to me like that? ”

The man smiled, "The Queen Mother is so unconscious, and allows the slave to retire." After speaking, he bowed down and withdrew from the Chonghui Palace, leaving only Liu E, who had a gloomy face, sitting on the couch thoughtfully.
