Chapter 116: Empress Dowager Dou is under house arrest

Liu Zhao looked at the sun, half of which was already hidden below the horizon, and the crimson light gilded the palace with a rosy light. The colorful sunset stretches from west to east, becoming lighter and lighter, shrouding the fading trees in the vicinity under an incomparably beautiful canopy. At this moment, the tired birds have long returned to the forest, and only in the mist, there are flocks of crows fluttering up and down, giving people a sense of uneasiness in the quiet.

After a long time, he said lightly: "Sir, what do you say?" There was a choked voice in his voice, which made people feel sad to hear.

Li He's eyes flashed, then dimmed, smiled to himself, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already thought about His Majesty, but whether Your Majesty can be ruthless!" ”

Liu Zhao smiled bitterly: "I'm so tired, everything is up to you." ”

Liu Qing said: "Your Majesty, although the Queen Mother wants to kill you, we don't do that unkind thing, Liu Qing means that she is under house arrest and will never be allowed to come out until she dies, and the emperor will no longer see her." ”

Liu Zhao's eyes were full of tears, he covered his already cold heart, and nodded, "Okay, it's all up to you!" ”

Li He smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, since we have no opinions, we will implement it according to the security plan, and we have already prepared the emperor's will, just ask Cai Chang to come out." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Liu Zhao looked at the gradually disappearing sunset, clenched his fists hard, and felt that the strength of his whole body disappeared with the sunset in an instant.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, no one left the palace, but was detained in the palace, and the garrisons everywhere were firmly watched by the sergeants of the five battalions, and no one was allowed to send troops without the emperor's will. Liu Zhao achieved a complete victory without moving a single soldier, and the people did not even feel the slightest sense that a riot had subsided.

Liu Zhao's will will be issued the next day and tomorrow, and the Zongzheng Qian Zhengsheng, who participated in the turmoil, the pedestrian pawn Lu Qian, and the guard Shenyang Lin. Yulin left riding He Shutong. Liu Fang, the captain of the guard, Cao Liushang, and Su Youfang, the thief. The evidence is conclusive, and the punishment of beheading. Empress Dowager Dou has lost her morality, and from now on she will be imprisoned in the Qianyuan Hall and imprisoned forever. Never let it out. One degree of application, as usual. No deletions.

Since then, when the courtiers were still ignorant, a group of important ministers in the court were suddenly killed, and the queen mother was banned. A great chaos subsided.

Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, led the rank of general of Jianwei, gave the mansion and gave countless money. He has made a contribution to the suppression of the chaotic party by carrying out the Jinwu Yin Program. He was named Wu Fanghou and held the post of captain of the guard.

Wang Yin'er dismantled the bun for the Empress Dowager Dou and combed it. The peach blossom water has an aftertaste, the long head falls to the ground, and the soft silk hangs down, shimmering with a lustrous luster. Empress Dowager Dou looked at herself in the mirror, her chin was pointed, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her graceful posture was still the same, but her eyes were no longer as sharp as before. She said softly: "Yin'er, do I have a white head?" ”

"Queen Mother, not yet!" Wang Yin'er deliberately hid a white one under the other heads, and couldn't bear to let the Empress Dowager Dou see it.

"Is there really not? How do I feel old? ”

"Queen Mother, you are not old, you are still as beautiful as before!" Wang Yin'er felt that her nose was sour. After a while, she will move to the Qianyuan Hall to live, the courtyard is small, how to compare with the Jiade Palace, she wants to beg the emperor, it is okay to be confined, just in the Jiade Palace, the Queen Mother has lived for a long time, why move again? But she knew that this was impossible, the emperor said that she would never come to see the Queen Mother again, and would never look at it again.

"Yin'er, don't be sad, I expected such a result a long time ago, but I still have to fight, because what I do is not what the emperor wants to do, but what the emperor wants to do is something else. Both of us are doing things, but they are different, and we will eventually die one and the other, and we can't exist at the same time. Fail, this is the result, let him go, why care! ”

She watched Wang Yin coil up the silk, combing the wisps very carefully, her heart was full of sorrow, and she said in a low voice: "Yin'er, it's in vain to think about it, the emperor won't agree, if we lose, we have to leave, just think it's a sweet dream!"

"But the Queen Mother, the Qianyuan Hall is very dilapidated, and the slaves and maids are nothing, and the Queen Mother can get used to it?" Wang Yin'er also said in a low voice.

"Hehe, Yin'er, what's the use of talking about this at this moment. Let's go, it's a cage anyway, and there's no difference between living in a golden birdcage and living in a wooden birdcage. "Empress Dowager Dou inserted a hosta on her head, the hairpin was made small, and there was a phoenix on her head, which was really the same, but there was nothing else to decorate. She stroked it with her hand and sighed: "Although this hairpin is not the most valuable of my many ornaments, it is my favorite one, and it has been smooth for a long time." If you look at this crested head, you can't even see your eyes. This is the first emperor for me to choose, he said that natural carving, is the most beautiful. He always said that I don't paint my thrush for the most beautiful, and I don't paint the lips for the most beautiful. Do you know what he said to me before he died? ”

Wang Yin'er shook her head and coiled silk for her again.

"He said, 'Do you think you do something that I don't know? Do you think you're covering the sky in the harem, don't you know? Do you think you killed Song Guiren and Liang Guiren, and I don't even know it? I know that the reason why I don't kill you and still spoil you is because I truly love you. I'm going, you are alone in the palace, you have to be careful in the court, don't be too public, one day, Zhao'er will grow up, and at that time he will be a goshawk that you can't deal with, and he will catch and eat you, a beautiful snake. Hehe, what he said made me laugh first and then cry, I laughed at him and finally he was the one who loved me the most, I laughed at the love of my life and finally had a fulfillment, I laughed at how the rest of my life would be stormy, but then I cried. ”

She took the hairpin off again and played with it in the palm of her hand. "What am I crying about, I cry myself, I tried my best to keep the queen's throne, I tried my best to keep the queen's throne, but I didn't know that the emperor's favorite was me, I didn't have to do anything, I didn't need to do anything, he would love me and love me until I died. I cried for the emperor, why didn't he tell me, until the end, he couldn't take care of me anymore, and then said! Empress Dowager Dou slapped the hairpin on the ground, and the hairpin made a crisp sound and broke into two sections.

"Hehe, it's broken, it's really broken, everything is broken, I'm still crying Liu Zhao, I raised him in order to keep my position, but I raised a wolf, a white-eyed wolf. That's how he dealt with my mother, and that's how he was filial to my mother. He knows what I want, what I want is power, whether it is for my brother or for him, I only need rights, as long as he puts the rights in my hands and makes me the number one person in the world, I will not harm him, I will never do it, because I raised him with my own hands. But he knew, but he refused to give it to me, and in the end he took everything away from me, and took away everything that should belong to me. Now, I am defeated, I am defeated, my Zhao'er is a goshawk, his wings are stiff, he flies high, I can't reach him. ”

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the combed hair, touched it with her hand, looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly shouted, "Yin'er, look, this is white, this must be white, quickly, pull it out with your hand, I don't want to see myself getting old." Fast! ”

Wang Yin'er hurriedly found the white root and pulled it out vigorously. Empress Dowager Dou condensed slightly, and her good-looking brows had been stretched, "I used the method of sealing the palace once when the first emperor was in the palace, and it was the people of the Liugong Palace in the palace who secretly brought men into the palace, and the first emperor refused to kill his wife, so he ordered me to seal the palace. Didn't we cancel everything? Then live well, I don't want to be like the people of Liugong and end up dying of illness. Have you brought everything you should have brought with you? ”

Wang Yin'er said: "Queen Mother, everything is ready." ”

"Then prepare for it, go, and tell the people in the palace that they all straighten their waists and walk in the palace for me with a high toe, don't let people think that my Empress Dowager Dou is really no longer in this palace."

"Whoa!" Wang Yin'er went out to confess and came out to pick up the Empress Dowager Dou, but saw Liu Zhaozheng standing at the door of the Jiade Palace, his face was pale, and his lips trembled and he looked at Wang Yin'er silently.

"Emperor, Emperor, why are you here?" Wang Yin'er hurriedly knelt down to see. Liu Zhao didn't speak, just stood at the gate of the palace, turned his head with his hands behind his back, and ordered: "I'm here to see off the Queen Mother, is the Queen Mother ready?" ”

"Ready, I'm about to inform." Wang Yin'er didn't dare to look at Liu Zhao, and said respectfully.

"Aunt Yin'er, I have always respected you, and it is the same now, you are different from the queen mother, if you don't want to go with me, I can let you serve me."

"Your Majesty, I am the Queen Mother's person, I have always been, always am, Your Majesty, Yin'er will follow the Queen Mother."

"Okay, I won't stop you, you make up your mind, if you don't want to be in it one day, just notify me, and I will let you out."

Wang Yin'er smiled bitterly and said: "Emperor Xie, if the emperor still remembers the old kindness, it is better to let the queen mother still live in this Jiade Palace, after all, she is not in good health, and she can't suffer that anymore!" ”

"She's not in good health? She is not in good health, but she has the ability to seize power and my life, she is not my mother, she is my enemy! ”

Liu Zhao suddenly blushed with anger, turned around and said, "I'll send her off, let her come out quickly, send her alive, and in the future, I will never see her again." ”

Wang Yin'er also knew that it was useless to ask for more, so she smiled bitterly, stood up and went back to the palace to pick up the Empress Dowager Dou.

When Empress Dowager Dou sat on her chariot and went out, she saw Liu Zhao standing at the gate of the palace with her back to her, and said with a smile: "Walk with your body straight, don't let people look down on you!" ”

Liu Zhao's body moved, and he almost turned around and argued with her, but he still gritted his teeth and held back, he closed his eyes and let tears flow down his eyes, thinking only two words in his heart, "love". (To be continued)
