Luoyang City.

Today, the sun is shining, and the warm sun is spread on the earth, which is different from the rainy days of the previous days.

The weather was good, and the Empress Dowager Deng was in a better mood, and she walked out of the hall that had been busy for several days surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, ready to chat with those women about family life.

Her steps were brisk, and before she could approach the Imperial Garden, she heard a whisper inside, and it was obvious that someone was almost there.

When an old eunuch saw the Empress Dowager Deng coming, he hurriedly bowed his waist and approached, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is here?" The wives have arrived. ”

Empress Dowager Deng smiled leisurely: "Well, let them relax a little, I am in a good mood today, let them talk about Lele by themselves." "I don't know when the Empress Dowager Deng began to call herself 'I', and even in the palace, she even issued edicts to advocate frugality, and had detailed requirements for all aspects of the palace.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Deng, who had always been sorrowful, said, "I am in a good mood", the people on the left and right were all smiling, and after the old eunuch went in and said a few words, the voice in the garden was obviously much louder.

Listening to these voices, Empress Dowager Deng paced in with a smile. As soon as they saw her coming, the women hurriedly got up and saluted.

Empress Dowager Deng waved her hand and asked them not to be polite, and then sat down on the main couch. After she kindly pointed out the names of a few wives, she looked at the dignified sister-in-law in a garden, and couldn't help laughing: "In a blink of an eye, the former little girl has grown into a flower beauty." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Deng made a rare joke, "If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty is still young, I would have to ask a few beauties to accompany me in the palace today." ”

All the women laughed. In the midst of chuckles, a noble lady smiled and said, "That's it." However, if the Queen Mother is interested, she can also give a few happy marriages to add color to this spring. ”

This noble lady has always been good friends with the Empress Dowager Deng, and there is no taboo when she speaks, as soon as she speaks, all the women of life are joined together, and when the sisters-in-law blushed their cheeks, the Empress Dowager Deng chuckled.

In the laughter, Empress Dowager Deng didn't know what to think, and her eyes flashed. I saw her take a sip of bird's nest porridge. Suddenly said: "By the way, my unangry ninth brother wants a few people in the room, if you have a candidate, you can recommend it!" ”

There was silence in all directions.

Deng Jiulang's marriage. These years have been the top news in Luoyang. A man of honorable status to his level. There are really few people, and there are even fewer who are so good as him. When other families all marry wives and concubines, and there are countless beautiful maids, his courtyard is still empty, which really makes many people's hearts move.

However, after Li Zhi's incident, everyone also knew that Deng Jiulang was too cruel to women, and he had not been in Luoyang for more than a year, so no one had thought about it.

Now I suddenly heard the Empress Dowager Deng mention it, and the wives were all stunned, they couldn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant, and after laughing for a while, they couldn't help but get together and muttered quietly.

Empress Dowager Deng amiably let everyone talk, and after a while, she said slowly: "Jiu Lang accepted the people in the room this time, it is my meaning. He is not young anymore, and he can't keep going like this, so I thought, no matter whether he is happy or not when he comes back, the people in this room must accept it, no matter what, the Deng Mansion can also raise a few women. The meaning of her words is very clear, that is, no matter whether Deng Jiulang agrees or not, his concubine must be accepted, and this matter does not need to go through him, and those concubines are not favored by Deng Jiulang, and the Deng Mansion will also support them for a lifetime.

Being raised by the Deng Mansion for a lifetime is just a trivial matter, who can get here, who can't afford to raise a daughter? Guan Jian is, this is the Queen Mother herself, and the Queen Mother personally guaranteed that as soon as she enters the Deng Gate, she will always belong to the Deng family, what is this? This is the promise of the Queen Mother! This is the queen mother's guarantee to let other noble families touch the light of Deng Fuguang!

All of a sudden, those who have daughters in the family, or whose family situation is not as good as before, and who are of the right age to have daughters, are all moved. There is even a wife of a big family, and she also calculates for her own daughter-in-law: the emperor is young, and the queen mother is a woman, so to speak, in this Luoyang City, the road to enter by virtue of female luck is blocked. If you want to say that there is, there are only a few people in the Deng Mansion, and in the Deng Mansion, there is Deng Jiulang, who is extremely capable and the queen mother relies on the younger brother very much.

When the first emperor was there, the daughter of a good family was the daughter of a good family who entered the palace, and it was worth it to die for nine lifetimes, not to mention just being a concubine for Deng Jiulang? It's that he doesn't agree, isn't this still the Queen Mother's promise?

Thinking of this, almost most of the women present were moved.

Looking at the joyful light in the eyes of these women, and talking to each other from time to time, Empress Dowager Deng sneered while drinking porridge!

She didn't expect that her younger brother would run away to that place in Guiyang County! Uncle Tangguo, the only general candidate of the Deng family who convinced the ministers, actually let the woman be accepted into the harem as a beauty!

This is simply a great shame for the Deng family! Who did the woman think of her as the emperor of a kingdom?

Since getting the news, Empress Dowager Deng has been so angry that she can't eat or sleep, and she has promised not to care about Deng Jiulang's marriage anymore, but she feels that she can't sit still now.

Empress Dowager Deng thought to herself, that woman was just lucky to get a gold mine, so she was so arrogant that she dared to insult her brother! She has to take care of it!

As a result, she has secretly dispatched the most mysterious elite assassin in the palace! She thought, she doesn't want the gold mine, she doesn't bother to take back the wealth that the woman has accumulated over the years, she just needs a clean now!

Just when Empress Dowager Deng was slowly tasting the porridge, listening to the compliments of the women, and secretly smiling because she let go of the burden in her heart, a sound of footsteps came.

After a while, a eunuch walked over.

Seeing the eunuch, Empress Dowager Deng frowned, she waved her hand at the women, and when she asked them to stand up in unison and retreat far away after saluting, Empress Dowager Deng asked the eunuch, "What happened?" ”

The eunuch looked solemn and said urgently: "Empress Dowager, Wuwei County is eight hundred miles away, saying that the Xiongnu will join Ding Ling in the north, Xianbei in the east, and five small countries in the Western Regions, and intend to raise 200,000 troops to commit my Wuwei!" ”

"What?"

Empress Dowager Deng stood up suddenly.

Seeing her face from afar, her face was not good, and all the women were silent. In the extreme silence, Empress Dowager Deng asked in a deep voice, "Is the situation true?" ”

"It's true!"

Speaking of this, the eunuch said again: "All the ministers are here, the Queen Mother, do you want to see them?" ”

See them? What did she take to see them? The treasury is empty, and the court can't afford to fight with soldiers!

Suddenly, there was a sharp stabbing pain in the chest of the Empress Dowager Deng, and in the severe pain, she sat down slowly with her hands on her chest and a white face, and saw that her lips were bruised. Breathing hard with his mouth open. The eunuch was stupid, and he shouted at a shrill voice: "Someone, someone—call the Imperial Doctor!" ”

When Mother Deng learned the news and rushed to the palace. The Imperial Physician has already diagnosed the pulse. also gave the Queen Mother a needle and medicine. Looking at the eunuch palace maid walking outside with a normal face, Mother Deng let out a long breath.

She hurriedly pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, and saw the eunuch and palace maid standing in the hall. Mother Deng waved her hand and motioned for them to go out.

After everyone dispersed, Mother Deng asked the eunuch Chang, who was most trusted by the Empress Dowager Deng, and after asking in a low voice about the situation, she sat down next to the Empress Dowager Deng's couch.

Holding her daughter's hand with one hand, Mother Deng saw at a glance that her daughter, who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, actually had a few silver wires in her head full of green silk!

Mother Deng suddenly mourned! She held her daughter's hand tightly and silently wept.

At this time, Empress Dowager Deng opened her eyes with a sigh.

After she looked around, she saw Mother Deng at a glance, and when she saw her tears, she couldn't help but smile weakly: "Mother, who made you sad?" ”

Mother Deng choked, she clasped her daughter's hand tightly, and said word by word: "Sui'er, pass the message to Jiulang!" Let him have a good talk with the woman, and persuade her to take the initiative to offer the gold mine! ”

Mother Deng looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, and said word by word: "I have also investigated the matter of that woman, she can really be called rich now, she not only has that gold mine, but now she also has a new gem mine, in addition to these, she has industries in thirteen states, that is, she controls countless trade routes, and her wealth is immeasurable." Sui'er, mother understands you, the reason why you were so excited just now that you fainted was because the treasury was empty and you couldn't prepare for war. Now as long as you get that woman, Sui'er, you can no longer cut down on food and clothing, and you can use it for dozens of years! ”

Speaking of this, Mother Deng gritted her teeth and said with determination: "You can tell Jiu Lang that he will marry that woman, and you and I will never object to it again." If he likes it, you can give them a marriage. After a pause, Mother Deng said, "The reason why that woman left last time was only because she was not happy with us, and she was forced to stay in Luoyang and was in a difficult situation. Now if you tell her that we are willing to recognize her, and we are willing to give her the opportunity to become my official daughter-in-law of the Deng family, it will be the matter of Jiulang's concubine, and it will be up to her and Jiulang to make their own decisions, and we will no longer care. The woman would have been grateful. She's always been smart, and she'll give the gold mine and the money herself without you opening your mouth. ”

Speaking of this, Mother Deng couldn't help but think: Although the woman of the Liu family is very unlikeable, she is a real rich boy, if she listens to Ah Sui in a proper manner, she can also be called a good fortune of Ah Sui.

At this time, Mother Deng didn't know what to do at all, just half an hour ago, her daughter was willing to help her son take a concubine, and at the same time, ......

Just when Empress Dowager Deng was thinking, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly struggled to sit up, shouting urgently at the top of her throat: "Someone, someone!" ”

When the eunuchs rushed in, Empress Deng Jiu pointed to the father-in-law Chang and motioned for him to come closer, she took out a token from her arms, and in the shocked eyes of Mother Deng, she hurriedly confessed: "Go and stop it...... The palace guards had just left Luoyang, and now it was too late to catch up, so they stopped them, so they said that the order was canceled, and the life of the woman in Nanyue County could not be taken! "If the woman dies like this, her property and gold mines will not be divided among her men, and if those people scatter again and flee to the mountains where they are hidden, will not the money be lost to the treasury? Now the woman can't die, not only can't she die, but she has to stabilize her. For the sake of today's plan, he can only sacrifice Jiulang, and he can only unconditionally meet the woman's request, and it is even more infeasible to take a concubine for Jiulang. She had to get the woman's money as soon as possible to keep the treasury in good hands!

After Gong Chang received the order and left quickly, Empress Dowager Deng turned to Mother Deng and said with difficulty: "I was in the garden just now, and I said that I wanted to take a concubine with Jiulang. Now in this situation, this concubine can't be accepted, mother, you have to go out of this matter and think of a way to go back. When Empress Dowager Deng said this, she smiled bitterly and said: "As the lord of the world, I have always been true to my word, but this time I broke my promise twice, it is really ......" There was endless shame in her tone.
