Chapter 148: Wang Wan makes a move
"Rong'er, when you go out of Chang'an to meet the princes and kings, I will leave it to you to do!"
Looking at his father's resolute eyes, Liu Rong saluted and said, "No! The son will live up to his father's trust! ”。
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, nodded and said, "Stand down, I'm a little tired."
"The son (minister) retires!" , both of them saluted, and then turned around and walked out of the Qilin Palace.
Out of the main hall, Jia Yi said to Liu Rong: "The master's father Yan's "Tui En Ce" is really good, but this person's temperament is disadvantageous, and His Royal Highness should be cautious when employing people."
Hearing what the teacher said, Liu Rong thought that he was angry because he used the performance of the master father, so he hurriedly said: "Don't blame the teacher, but this person's performance is known because of the teacher's "Public Security Policy".
I don't want Jia Yi to laugh, "It's okay, it's okay, the minister is already dying, I don't know what else to do for His Highness, I am naturally happy to have this person available to His Highness."
Seeing the teacher like this, Liu Rong only felt a warmth in his heart, and helped Jia Yi down the imperial steps in front of the Qilin Palace, and when he got into the carriage, Liu Rongcai said to himself: "I will live up to my teacher!" ”。
After speaking, he turned and left.
……………………………………………………………………
And when Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, summoned Jia Yi and Liu Rong, one of them arrived in Li Ji's bedroom.
At this time, Li Ji's resentment towards Liu Rong can be said to have reached a fixed point, and she was angry with those palace maids and attendants in her bedroom all day long.
He was about to be beaten and scolded at every turn, and the palace maids in his palace didn't dare to approach Li Ji for nothing, and he didn't dare to speak out.
Just when Li Ji was sitting on the bed alone and sulking, I saw that Li Jizhi's personal attendant Yu Xiaoqing stepped forward cautiously and said tremblingly: "Female monarch, Wang Meiren wants to see you outside the palace."
"Where is the king beauty!" , At this moment, Wang Huan's sister Wang Erjiao is being favored by the Son of Heaven, so Li Ji has this question.
"It's a king beauty!".
Hearing this, Li Ji said disdainfully: "Wang Wan came to see what I was doing, I don't see it!" ”。
And this Xiaoqing was extremely nervous and said, "It's just...... It's just ......".
"Just what! said".
Li Ji scolded, so frightened that Xiaoqing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Wang Meiren said that there was something urgent, so she came to ask to see you."
In this way, after a period of silence, Kurihime said, "Then let him in!" ”。
"No!".
It stands to reason that Li Ji is not the queen, and Wang Huan, who is also a beauty, wants to see her, so she naturally wants to greet her in person, but she doesn't want to send only one palace maid to go.
And how could Wang Wan not hate her heart when she was treated so slowly, but this was not the time to be angry, in order to complete her plan, she had to swallow this breath first, and followed this Xiaoqing into the dormitory.
As soon as she saw Li Ji, Wang Wan smiled and said, "I haven't seen my sister for many days, I don't know if Sister Li has always been good?" ”。
"What's good, how good is that rebel!" , Kurihime didn't have a good airway.
Hearing this, Wang Huan's heart blossomed, and the more Li Ji resented Liu Rong, the more happy she naturally became.
However, Wang Wan still pretended not to know: "Liu Rong is being favored by His Majesty at this time, although Liu De and Liu Yan are not favored, they are also filial people, where can they provoke my sister so displeased."
As soon as she heard Liu Rong's name, Li Jidang was furious, "I know that I am angry, it is because of that rebel son Liu Rong."
"How so?".
Then Li Ji actually regarded Wang Wan as the object of her confiding.
told Wang Wan everything that had happened.
I saw Wang Wan crying: "My sister doesn't know, since the death of the Empress Dowager, Liu Rong has been separated from me, and he actually went to do things for the queen in public, regardless of my mother.
I was annoyed by this, but not only did this son not come to me to make amends, but he did not tell me what he did all day.
This time, His Majesty ordered him to preside over the palace banquet, and he only sent a slave and maid to report to me, where is there such a son! ”。
After speaking, Li Ji cried bitterly, and Wang Wan was even more busy "comforting" Li Ji.
Previously, Wang Wan knew that Li Ji must have been dissatisfied with Liu Rong, but Wang Wan didn't expect that Li Ji's prejudice against Liu Rong was so deep and resentful at this time.
suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Sister, Rong'er is favored by His Majesty at the moment, and some time ago he got the Wenwang Baoding from Fenyin, at this time, the court is full of rumors, and it will not be long before Rong'er may be crowned the crown prince for His Majesty."
In my sister's opinion, if my sister goes to reconcile with Rong'er as before, then Rong'er will be crowned the prince, and my sister will go further."
What Wang Wan said seemed to be for Li Ji's sake, but when she said this, Wang Wan knew that according to Li Ji's temperament, it was impossible for her to personally pull down her face to see Liu Rong!
Sure enough, Li Ji immediately said, "Shut up! If you want me to go and see the rebel in person, I will never do it!
What if he became a prince? Even if he ascends the throne and becomes the Son of Heaven in the future, then I am also his mother, and the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty still wants me to do it! Does he dare to deny me as a mother! ”。
And Wang Wan had already thought that Li Ji might say this, "Sister, have you forgotten that the queen is still ...... at this time, even if Liu Rong becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, the queen mother will also be the .................. Queen Bo."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ji was indeed speechless, yes, the queen seat at this moment is still sitting with Queen Bo, with the relationship between Li Ji and Liu Rong at this time, it is really difficult to say whether she can be the queen mother at that time............
"So what should I do?".
Seeing that Li Ji was stepping into the trap, Wang Wan was of course happy, and when she heard Li Ji say this, she came to Li Ji's ear and muttered.
"Really?".
"Since my sister doesn't like it, she has to do it."
After speaking, Wang Wan turned around and left.
After sitting in place and struggling for more than an hour, Kurithime said to herself: That's all it takes
……………………………………………………………………
Just when Liu Rong had just returned to the palace, he heard Wang Sheng report again, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent someone to look for you!" ”。
Dowager??
On weekdays, in addition to going to greet the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager Dou would never come to look for Liu Rong, but today she actually summoned herself to go, but it was also surprising.
As soon as he came out of the hall, Liu Rong saw that the person who came here was actually Feng Yu.
Who is the general, it is an official established in the Qin period, a subordinate of the queen, in charge of the queen's family affairs, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones, which is more than one level higher than the servant of the emperor. It's just that the people who are generally going to do it are eunuchs, and the eunuchs with a rank of two thousand stones, there is no other family.
Usually the generals are all the people who assist the queen, but Queen Bo has always been unfavored, and it is difficult to act as the government of the harem, so this Feng Yu is still serving by the side of the Empress Dowager Dou.
A eunuch who can climb to this status is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Liu Rong does not dare to underestimate it.
Looking at the thin-looking old man in front of him, Liu Rong arched his hand and said, "It's rude, it's rude and rude, it's because Gong Feng is here."
This Feng Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's go, the Queen Mother should wait for you in the palace."
Ordinary things, it is okay to send a palace maid here, but this time he sent a general, and then looking at Feng Yu's expression and impatient urging, Liu Rong felt more and more that something must have happened, and there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Then Liu Rong smiled and said, "Gong Feng later, can I change my clothes?" ”。
"The Queen Mother has always been the most frugal person, so what does it matter if she doesn't change her clothes."
"Feng Gong didn't know, but I had suffered from the wind and cold recently, so I had to change my clothes and go again."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Feng Yu to speak, he immediately turned around and returned to the dormitory, "What clothes does Your Highness want to wear?" Wang Sheng asked.
After picking up a face of clothes casually, Liu Rong hurriedly said to Wang: "After I leave with this Feng Yu, you immediately go to the Qilin Palace to inform Wang Yan, and ask him to report to his father, and the Queen Mother will summon me to Changle Palace!" ”。
Wang Sheng had never seen His Highness have such a stern expression before, and when he responded, "No! ”。
Seeing Liu Rong walking a long way with Feng Yu through the crack in the door, Wang Sheng opened the door of the hall and ran towards the Qilin Hall like crazy.
The distance from Liu Rong's dormitory to the Qilin Palace is farther than to the Changle Palace, and Wang Sheng used all the strength to eat milk powder along the way, and ran for a moment before arriving at the Qilin Palace.
When I went up the royal steps, I happened to see Wang Yan, but I was so excited that my feet slipped and I fell in front of Wang Yan.
Seeing that the person who came was Wang Sheng, Wang Yan was also strange, so he ordered someone to pick him up and asked, "You are not serving beside His Royal Highness Liu Rong, what are you doing here?"
Wang Sheng said breathlessly: "Your Highness...... Your Highness...... His Royal Highness asked me to inform the prince that the queen mother ordered Her Royal Highness to summon her to Changle Palace, and the prince should report this matter to His Majesty urgently! ”。
Generally, only if something happens in the harem, the queen mother will order the general to summon him, and at this moment, Liu Rong was called away by the general, and there is no good thing.
In this way, Wang Yan was also so anxious that he was dizzy, but not long ago, the Son of Heaven had just summoned the Imperial Doctor Chao Cuo, and said that he should not be disturbed.
But thinking of Liu Rongzhi's urgency, Wang Yan had no choice but to enter the palace.
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was making Chao mistakenly look at the "Tui En Ce" written by the master father, and when he heard a squeak, the door of the palace opened, and Wang Yan walked in quickly.
Furiously said: "What I Shicai said, don't disturb it, why did you enter the palace!" ”。
However, Wang Yan didn't care about saying anything to forgive his sins, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Liu Rong was summoned to Changle Palace by the order of the Queen Mother!" ”。
Hearing this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was also shocked, Liu Rong had only returned to Chang'an for a few days, how could something anger the Queen Mother.
"How did you know?".
"His Royal Highness sent his attendant Wang Sheng to report to Yu Yu urgently, and this person is still outside the palace at this time!"
In this way, Liu Qi didn't know where the son of heaven was, this was Liu Rong asking him for help.
When he got up and said to Chao wrongly: "This "Tui En Ce", Chao Qing took it back and took a closer look, I still have other things."
Chao Cuo also saw that something must be urgent, so he didn't say much, so he only said, "No! Then he withdrew.
After that, Liu Qichao, the son of heaven, immediately took a car to Changle Palace.
And Liu Rong followed Feng Yu to Changle Palace on the way, walking unhurriedly, which will be done, Feng Yu urged Liu Rong to go fast several times.
However, in order to delay time, Liu Rong walked for almost two minutes before he arrived.
As soon as he entered the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace, Liu Rong only felt the anger in this hall, which was different from how many times he had come before, and he only felt that there was a murderous aura in the hall.
Looking at the Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting on the bed with a somewhat complicated expression, Liu Rong saluted and said, "Grandson Liu Rong visits grandmother."
Empress Dowager Dou did not make Liu Rong get up as usual, but said with a slight reprimand: "Kneel!" ”。
Hearing this, Liu Rong had to kneel on the ground.
"The mourning family asks you, how did my Han rule the world!"
Liu Rong arched his hand and said: "Naturally, the world is governed by filial piety, and since Emperor Gao, all dynasties of the Han Dynasty have been based on filial piety."
"Now that you know, why are you unfilial to your mother!".
As soon as Empress Dowager Dou said this, Liu Rong knew that it must be his mother Li Ji who came to complain to his grandmother.
"Grandmother Rongyu, grandson never unfilial piety to his mother, since the death of the Empress Dowager, the mother will ignore the grandson, the grandson to the mother's palace on weekdays to say goodbye, but the mother never wants to see it.
The grandson once knelt down in front of his mother's bedroom to repent, but he still couldn't see it, so he begged his grandmother to see it."
On weekdays, the impression of Liu Rong and Empress Dowager Dou is still good, as long as she is in Chang'an, she will go to Changxin Hall to say hello in a few days.
In this regard, for Li Ji to say that Liu Rong was not filial and never visited in his palace, Empress Dowager Bo was naturally worried and suspicious, and now when she heard Liu Rong say this, she was even more puzzled.
Then Empress Dowager Dou summoned Li Ji out of the inner hall on the side.
Liu Rong is very clear, no matter whether he is unfilial or not, he must not confront Li Ji in public, if so, this charge of unfilial piety is really going to be worn on Liu Rong's head.
Solidly, as soon as he saw Li Ji enter the palace, Liu Rongdang even kowtowed and said: "If the mother says that the son is unfilial, no matter the reason, the son will voluntarily be punished by the mother!" ”。
Since the complaint was filed with the Empress Dowager Dou, Li Ji had completely let go of the mother-son relationship between the two at this moment, and only resentment was left between her and Liu Rong.
Liu Rong's words, Li Ji heard them clearly in the back hall, and when she saw Liu Rong, she scolded, "Rebel, you dare to speak cleverly in front of the Queen Mother!" ”。
At this moment, I only heard the speaker outside the hall shouting, "Your Majesty! Arrived! ”。
Hearing that it was his father who finally came, Liu Rong's hanging heart relaxed slightly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, angrily reprimanded: "Li Ji, what do you want!" ”。
Hearing Liu Qi's reprimand, Li Ji stopped his movements and knelt down and said, "The concubine visits Your Majesty."
However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, then said: "Tell me, what do you want to do in this way!" ”。
But Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, Liu Rong is not filial to his concubines, I hope Your Majesty will punish you!" ”。
"Oh? Liu Rong is not filial, how can I not know? ”。
Then Li Ji told herself to the Empress Dowager Dou's words and repeated it to Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven.
Liu Qi, who was angry, was furious on the spot: "How could I not know Liu Rong's temperament, since the Empress Dowager was funeral, Liu Rong sent the Empress back to the palace, you don't want to see Liu Rong again."
Is this matter boiling in the palace, or did I order someone to suppress this criticism, I don't want you to dare to say that this is Liu Rong's fault today, where in the world is there a mother like you."
Empress Dowager Dou can not believe the words of Liu Rong and Li Ji, but the words of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, will naturally believe it.
was almost deceived by Li Ji, and the angry Empress Dowager Dou was furious on the spot: "Come on, take Li Ji down quickly!" ”。
After Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking, several soldiers entered the palace to capture Li Ji, and then Li Ji cried bitterly and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty save me, Your Majesty save me! ”。
However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, did not react and was indifferent.
And Liu Rong hurriedly got up and ran to Li Ji to meet him and stopped the soldiers who came forward.
Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the Empress Dowager Dou and crying: "Grandmother, ask your grandmother for forgiveness, the mother's fault is the son's fault, if the grandmother wants to punish the mother, I am willing to suffer on behalf of the mother."
After speaking, he kept prostrating.
Seeing that blood was oozing from Liu Rong's forehead, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but soften her heart a little, and sighed: "If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for."
"The mourning family can be exempted from the sin of Li Ji, but how her sin should be discussed depends on His Majesty's intentions."
Hearing this, Liu Rong turned around to kowtow to his father, but was stopped by his father, "Your mother's sin is blamed on the Queen Mother, and you are so benevolent and filial, and you beg for it." He will be exempted from the crime of cane punishment, but he shall not be punished for his guilt, and he shall be grounded for one year, and he shall not be allowed to leave the dormitory! ”。
At this time, Liu Rongcai raised his head and said, "Thank you for your father's grace."
"Take your mother down."
At this time, Li Ji has completely lost the appearance of being fearless, and she is stunned, and she can't say a word.
Then Liu Rong helped her out of the Changxin Palace, and as soon as she left the palace gate, Li Ji immediately let go of Liu Rong's hand and went to her dormitory.
However, Liu Rong still followed Li Ji to his dormitory.
After all, it is his mother, of course Liu Rong can't be hard-hearted and ignore it. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he leaned in, helped Kuri Ji to the bed, and said, "Mother is resting, and my son will come to visit my mother again in my spare time."
After speaking, he turned around and left, and when he left, Liu Rong summoned Li Ji's personal attendant Yu Xiaoqing to the outside of the hall.
Li Ji suddenly ran to Mrs. Dou to complain, but Liu Rong was unexpected, and after thinking deeply, she only felt that there must be some hidden secrets, so she asked Xiaoqing: "Can anyone come to see my mother recently?" ”。
Although Xiaoqing didn't know what was going on, seeing Li Ji like this, she naturally knew that something big must have happened.
Gu was a little scared, and replied tremblingly: "Recently, His Royal Highness Liu De and His Royal Highness Liu Yan have come, and after that, it will be...... It's ......".
"Who is it!?".
"It's Wang Beauty, Wang Beauty", Xiaoqing said eagerly.
Liu Rong frowned and asked, "Do you know what he said?" ”。
"When Wang Meiren and the female monarch were talking, they ordered all the slaves and maids to go outside the palace, and it is not known."
Wang Wan is here, and he still doesn't let others know, which explains the problem.
And Liu Rong is in the palace and has never been bad with others.
Even if Liu Yan behaved like that, Liu Rong only regarded him as a child's jealousy, and with his well-developed limbs and simple mind, he couldn't think of such a vicious scheme.
Only Wang Wan has a good reason and a scheming mind to do such a thing.
"So there is nothing else to do, take good care of my mother, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you!".
Xiaoqing saluted and replied: "No, rest assured, Your Highness, the slave and maid will take care of the female monarch wholeheartedly."
And when Liu Rong returned to the palace, he sat in front of the bookcase and said secretly: Wang Huan, since you dare to do this, don't blame me for wanting you to die without a place to be buried!
Subsequently, within a few days, the palace somehow spread that Li Niangniang made false accusations to the Empress Dowager Chen Huang's eldest son, and when the Empress Dowager wanted to punish Li Niangniang, His Royal Highness Liu Rong was desperate to intercede for him.
Solid this, the people in this palace all said that His Royal Highness is worthy of being the prince who Emperor Xiaowen brought with him since he was a child, and some people even said that King Wen Baoding was learned by His Royal Highness Liu Rong to get the dream of Emperor Gao, if there is a loss of virtue, how can there be a dream of Emperor Gao.
Later, this rumor spread outside the palace, and there were people in the whole Chang'an who talked about Liu Rongzhi's virtue............
………………………………………………………………
The next day, Wang Yan hurriedly took a roll of bamboo slips, walked into the Qilin Palace, and when he saw the Son of Heaven, he said: "Your Majesty, that Feng Yu has confessed everything!" ”。
took the bamboo slip in Wang Yan's hand and read it, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, scolded angrily!
"Damn! Damn it! ”。
Said to Wang Yan: "Summoning the Zhidu and destroying its three clans!" ”。
"No!".
When Wang Yan came out of the Qilin Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again, and sighed: "Don't force me to kill you!" ”。
