Seeing that King Liang could be regarded as completely trapped, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was naturally very happy, so he also talked with the Empress Dowager Dou and King Liang in the Changle Palace.

Sure enough, when it was time to close the palace gate, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, immediately got up and bid farewell to Liu Qi and Empress Dowager Dou.

After King Liang walked out of Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Dou said: "Your Majesty, look, King Liang has really grown recently, and he is so respectful to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was also 'pleased' and said: "King Liang has indeed made great progress."

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, didn't know that his brother Liu Qi had already seen his mind clearly. When he returned to his mansion, he said to himself: "If the widow is like this, the Son of Heaven will be pleased." So, I began to dream of being the emperor's brother again............

In the next few days, the princes and kings arrived in Chang'an City one after another, making Chang'an, which was already full of powerful princes, even more boiling.

Since that day, Yuan Ang has lived in Dou Ying's house under Dou Ying's kind invitation.

No, on this day, when the two were discussing the recent affairs of the court, the servant came to report again: "My lord, the queen mother sent an edict from the palace to ask Lord Yuan to enter the palace to meet the queen mother."

Yuan Anqi said: "How could the Queen Mother know that I went to Beijing to live in the Zhan Shi House? ”。

Hearing this, Dou Ying smiled and said: "My aunt, although she can't see it at this time, she is very clear about the things in this court and Chang'an City.

I am afraid that when Yuan Si entered the city, the Queen Mother had already learned about it. Yuan Si still quickly entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was in a hurry to blame her, but I couldn't afford it. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ang hurriedly got up, changed into a scarf, walked out of Dou Ying's house, and went to Changle Palace with the attendants of the edict.

At this time, the dynasty had just dispersed, and Liu Rong was about to take a car to the court office, and happened to meet someone in the queen mother's palace leading Yuan Ang into the palace.

The attendant naturally recognized Liu Rong, so he saluted Liu Rong and said, "The slave has seen His Highness."

Liu Rong only said that he didn't need to be polite, looked at the long-bearded old man beside the attendant, and asked, "Who is this?" ”。

The attendant hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Yuan An, the minister of Wu Guoguo."

Liu Rong arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the world-famous silk prince, and when I saw it today, he was really a famous man."

The attendant leaned to Yuan An's side and whispered, "This is His Royal Highness Liu Rong, the eldest son of His Majesty's Emperor."

Ever since he saw Liu Rong, Yuan Ang has been staring at Liu Rong, and the attendant's words at this moment made him come back to his senses.

He replied: "Minister Yuan Ang has seen His Royal Highness."

Liu Rong looked at the person in front of him, staring at himself all the time, and he felt very strange, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask him what he meant.

had to say: "Si Gong is a grandmother's honored guest, no need to be polite", and after a few words of greeting, Liu Rong was about to turn around and leave.

Liu Rong also wanted to win over the queen mother's favorite minister, but after thinking about it, he still had a casual personal relationship with the minister, but it was a big taboo, if he was known to stab his father, it would definitely be enough for him to drink a pot............

Seeing Liu Rong leaving, Yuan Ang followed the attendant to the Changle Palace.

Sitting on the carriage, Liu Rong said in his heart: Liu Biao, the king of Wu, actually sent Yuan Ang as an envoy at this time, and the situation is becoming more and more interesting.

With Yuan An's character, if he has to return to the dynasty this time, he will inevitably take revenge on Chao Cuo for admonishing Emperor Wen to put him in the court.

These two people, one with their backs to the Son of Heaven and the other to the Queen Mother, are bound to fight............

Yuan Ang won the favor of the Empress Dowager Dou, of course, there is a reason, Liu Rong's grandfather Emperor Xiaowen ascended to the base number of years, and he favored Mrs. Shen in the harem, and Mrs. Shen dared to sit on an equal footing with Empress Dou Yifang.

Once, Emperor Wen took the queen Dou Yifang and Mrs. Shen to play in the courtyard of Shanglin Garden, and when the attendants arranged the sitting, they actually put the two sitting side by side, Yuan Ang saw this, and immediately retreated Mrs. Shen's sitting. Mrs. Shen therefore refused to sit down.

When he returned to the palace, Emperor Wen wanted to punish him, and Yuan Ang said: "Since Emperor Gao, my Han Dynasty has been divided into respect and inferiority order. Now His Majesty's wife and concubine dare to sit at the same table with the queen,

Besides, if Your Majesty favors her, you can reward her with gold. Her Majesty ignored this order of dignity and humility, thinking that it was Madame Shen, but it happened to be the root cause of her misfortune. Has Your Majesty forgotten the people made by Empress Lu? ”。

As soon as Yuan Ang's words came out, Emperor Wen also felt reasonable, and Mrs. Shen gave a gift to thank Yuan An, and after Mrs. Shen saw the queen again, she was respectful and respectful, and did not dare to slack off.

How could Dou Yifang not favor him, and even rewarded him with a festival back then, so that he could enter and leave the palace at any time with the festival............

After a while, Yuan Ang had already arrived in the Jiaofang Hall under the leadership of his attendants.

As soon as I entered the hall, I heard the Empress Dowager Dou say: "I haven't seen Yuan Si for several years, Yuan Si has always been good?" ”。

Yuan Ang hurriedly saluted and said: "Minister Yuan Ang visited the Queen Mother, tired of the Queen Mother, the minister's body bones can last for a few more years."

Empress Dowager Dou said to the palace maid again: "Why don't you go and get a seat with Lord Yuan."

After Yuan Ang thanked him, he knelt on the side of the Empress Dowager Dou's bed.

Empress Dowager Dou sighed: "Although I can't see it, I can also hear the sound of Yuan Si walking."

Yuan Ang said with a smile: "The minister has been sent to Wu by Emperor Xiaowen for six years, so he is naturally old, how can the queen mother be called old if she has not yet given birth to gray hair at this time?" ”。

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou smiled and said: "Only you Yuan Si dare to speak like this, it is true that I haven't seen you for six years, and the old body sometimes misses Yuan Si."

Yuan Ang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was waiting for the Queen Mother's words, so he immediately sobbed: "The minister is in the land of Wu Chu, and he often misses the Queen Mother.

"Yuan Si doesn't have to cry like this, what's the matter? The old body agrees".

Yuan Ang hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister wants to resign from the post of prime minister of Wu and stay in Chang'an, even if he has no official position, this minister can often meet the queen mother in Chang'an."

It's just that the minister is afraid that His Majesty will not allow it, so he asks the Queen Mother to agree, and the acting minister asks His Majesty's permission, hoping that the Queen Mother will not blame."

Yuan Ang knew that if he went directly to ask Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, he would inevitably find out about it.

Chao Cuo will never leave him as a hidden danger to stay in Chang'an, and he will definitely play the Son of Heaven, and with the favor of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, he will definitely kick him back to Wu again.

When he entered Chang'an, Yuan Ang wanted to enter the palace to ask the queen mother, but he was also afraid that once he returned to Chang'an, he would ask to see the queen mother like the palace and be suspected by others. Only then did he go to Dou Ying's house.

At this time, the Queen Mother was summoned, and when she said this, she immediately passed the feelings of the past, and asked the Queen Mother Dou to answer today's thoughts.

And at this moment, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, had not yet thought that his prime minister had already had the idea of dumping him.

Seeing Yuan Ang like this, the Empress Dowager Dou also sighed, and now the person who can talk to him in Chang'an no longer exists, but Yuan Ang in front of him is one of them.

Then he said: "The old body should go down, and when you see the Son of Heaven one day, you will ask the Son of Heaven for a summons, and there are many ministers in the court, and then one person will be selected as the prime minister of Wu State."

When Yuan Ang heard this, he burst into tears, sobbing and said: "Minister Yuan Ang thanks the Empress Dowager for her grace, thank the Empress Dowager for her grace."

Empress Dowager Dou said: "Okay, okay, how can you cry in public so much at an age", and said to the palace maid on the side: "Don't hurry up and help Lord Yuan up."

Yuan Ang got up after thanking him for his kindness.

Empress Dowager Dou said again: "When you were summoned, it was close to dusk, and today you will have dinner with the old man in the palace."

Yuan Ang smiled at this time: "Then the old minister will thank the Queen Mother for giving food."

While eating, Empress Dowager Dou asked, "I heard that the old man still has no place to live in Chang'an?" ”。

"This ...... It's ......".

"You don't have to be bothered, the old body still remembers that the Dou clan still has a few idle mansions in Chang'an, and another day, the old body will order Dou Ying to choose a place for you, so that you have a place to stay."

Hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, Yuan Ang knelt down and thanked: "Thank you Empress Dowager Sheng En, the ministers are really unrequited."

After that, when the two of them finished their meal and Yuan Ang was about to leave, Empress Dowager Dou asked: "When Yuan Si was in the state of Wu, what complaints could the king of Wu have against the court on weekdays?"

Empress Dowager Dou also knows that since Liu Qi stoned the crown prince of Wu to death, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, will be dissatisfied with the court even if he is not subordinate to the court, so he has this question.

But Yuan Ang replied: "The minister doesn't seem to have heard that King Wu has said anything about the court's faults, but there are some times...... Sometimes, the king of Wu would say that there was a servant in the court who wantonly destroyed the relationship between the princes and the court."

"Who?".

Yuan Ang said: "Imperial Doctor - Chao Wrong".

Sure enough, not long after arriving in Chang'an, Yuan Ang took the lead in making a move.

When the Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she was furious: "Why did King Wu say that he was wrong to be a minister."

Yuan Ang saw that the Empress Dowager was furious, so he replied: "Emperor Xiaowen of the first Emperor Chao made a mistake to the first emperor to cut the domain, the first emperor did not allow it, and King Wu learned that His Majesty's recent move to cut the fiefdom of the Western Kingdom was because of Chao Mistake's words to His Majesty to cut the domain, so King Wu said that Chao Wrong was a minister!" ”。

When the Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she did not speak, while Yuan Ang saluted the Empress Dowager and retired.
