In the second year of Yuanshou, in summer and April, there was a solar eclipse in many places in Guanzhong. For a while, people were panicked, but the Geng family ushered in double happiness.

Zhang Duwei was old and begging for bones, and Geng Zhen naturally took over as the governor of the western region.

What made him even happier was that Hahei gave birth to a beautiful daughter for him.

Not only was he happy, but the whole family was overjoyed.

In June, when Geng Xiaofan returned to Beijing to report on his work, he returned to Chang'an with his son and daughter-in-law.

He didn't expect that he would inadvertently experience another "historical" event.

The family had just arrived at Yang'a Mansion, and before they could say a few words, news came from the inner court, "His Majesty the Emperor has died!" ”

"So fast!" Liu Fei'er couldn't help but blurt out, and immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly shut up.

She remembered that Brother Fan said that Liu Xin had not been the emperor for a few years, but in the past few years, maybe life has been too comfortable, and in a blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed.

"I need to get into the palace quickly!" Yang Ah handed over the grandson in his hand to his daughter and immediately went into the house to prepare. At this time, there is no room for mistakes. She had to hurry to her mother.

"Aren't you going?" Yang Ah finished changing his clothes, and was a little surprised to see that Geng Xiaofan had no intention of leaving.

Geng Xiaofan was even more surprised!

"I'm a foreign minister, go back to Beijing to report on my work, now it's okay, I don't even need to say anything, what am I going to do?"

"Don't you know that there is no prince in the imperial court? You don't think about your future? Yang Ah glared at Geng Xiaofan.

"Oh! This one! I don't care too much. Geng Xiaofan smiled, suddenly remembered Lord Yi, and his face suddenly changed, "I, I'll go with you!" ”

"Huh! Remembered something? It's getting so fast! Yang Ah was amused by Geng Xiaofan's sudden change.

"I'm going to mix some inside information with you, so I can know who is the emperor in advance, so I can support it in advance!" Geng Xiaofan also hurriedly ran out to change into court clothes.

The two hurried to Changxin Palace, but the Queen Mother had already moved.

"You wait here, I'll go see the Empress Dowager!" Geng Xiaofan felt that he had really come to the right place today.

In Weiyang Palace, the Queen Mother was angrily scolding Dong Xian. This kid has been a big Sima for two years. But he couldn't have imagined that Liu Xin would die at a young age. It's a mess now.

The queen mother took the shelf and asked Da Sima how to deal with the emperor's affairs, where did Dong Xian understand, but he couldn't say why for a long time.

"Empress Dowager, why are you here in person!" Geng Xiaofan may not have seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and seeing that the old woman was still in good spirits, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"When did Geng Taishou return to Beijing?" The Queen Mother didn't expect Geng Xiaofan to appear at such a critical moment, which was a little surprising.

"The minister was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work, but when he heard the bad news, he accompanied Princess Yang'a to come to you immediately to greet you." Geng Xiaofan hurriedly replied.

"Oh! Since you happen to be back, I have to help you help a bunch of big Sima! The Queen Mother said, glaring at Dong Xian viciously, making his legs tremble in fright.

"Yes! Ministers should be conscientious and live up to their holy hopes! Geng Xiaofan had already mentioned Yang'a, knowing that the Queen Mother was ready to return to Luan, and walked lightly in front of Dong Xian.

"Da Sima, when this sincerity is eventful, in order to prevent accidents, the minister asks the emperor's imperial seal to temporarily move to Changxin Palace."

"This!" Dong Xian was taken aback and didn't understand what Geng Xiaofan meant.

The Queen Mother was already leaving, but when she heard Geng Xiaofan's words, she immediately stopped. "What Geng Taishou said is extremely true! Before the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial seal was temporarily kept by the mourning family! ”

Dong Xian had no choice but to take out the imperial seal and hand it to Geng Xiaofan.

Geng Xiaofan's heart was full of joy.

Seeing that he had just entered Weiyang Palace, he had made a great contribution to the Queen Mother, and he was more sure of the matter of Yizhu's sister in the future.

"Hey! The mourning family is old and powerless! Such an important object, the mourning family actually forgot! Geng waits for the timely arrival of today! As soon as she returned to Changxin Palace, the Queen Mother hurriedly "praised" Geng Xiaofan.

"The minister and the dog have been with you for so long, in the final analysis, it is your people, who are you who don't think about you?" Geng Xiaofan smiled and handed over the imperial seal to the Queen Mother.

"Not for my sake, but for the sake of the court." Although the Queen Mother was satisfied, she still corrected him with a smile.

"That's right! You think about the court, I think about you, that is, for the court! "Geng Xiaofan's sycophant, even Yang Ah can't stand it anymore.

"Queen Mother, the emperor's matter is too sudden, you have to plan early!" Yang Ah stepped forward to support the Queen Mother.

"Hey! The mourning family is also in turmoil, the emperor is young, this is really not worry-free! The Queen Mother was also unprepared, and sighed.

"The Queen Mother, the ministers and the opposition, those who can take on heavy responsibilities at this time are the only ones who are waiting for the giant monarch. If you like, we are willing to do it for you! ”

"Jujun! Oh, yes! It's been five or six years since he returned to Xindu! It's time to come back and serve the court! Geng Hou, what are you going to do? Geng Xiaofan's proposal was too much in line with the Queen Mother's wishes.

"You just need to issue an edict to dismiss Dong Xian and ask the ministers to recommend Da Sima again."

"It's as simple as that?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"It's easy to say, it's hard to say! But as long as you want the giant to come back, the minister will definitely let you get your wish. ”

"Good! The mourning family can trust you! Go for it! The new emperor has made the first contribution, and the mourning family has promised you! ”

"Queen Mother, this first credit, the minister can't afford it, so it's better to leave it to the giant monarch." Geng Xiaofan hurriedly resigned.

"And what are you for?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, the minister does have a private affair, I just ask you to properly settle the Queen Mother." Geng Xiaofan did not hide that there was no need to beat around the bush when negotiating with a political "old fritter" like the Queen Mother.

"It's for your sister! What does she have to worry about? The Queen Mother thought for a long time before she understood.

"The Queen Mother, once the Son of Heaven was a courtier, and the Queen Mother who was also a Son of Heaven! Fortunately, Chen's sister has no ambitions, and you have seen it all these years. Please give her a good end. ”

Geng Xiaofan's words were sincere, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but ponder. She knows it too well.

In just a few decades, she has gone through three or four emperors. During the period, although the queen mother, queen, and concubines are countless, there may be "good deaths" like her, except for her, there are really not many!

"Geng Hou is really temperamental! The mourning family is ready! The Queen Mother sighed and made a deal with Geng Xiaofan.

Wang Jingyan heard the news of Liu Xin's death three days later, and she also returned to Chang'an as soon as possible. But when she arrived, Geng Xiaofan had already done everything she wanted to do for her.

Originally, Dong Xian was Geng Xiaofan's first obstacle, Geng Xiaofan thought of N ways to kick him away, but before he could implement it, that kid actually committed suicide!

I don't know if he is afraid of sin, or if he is really loyal to his "love" with Liu Xin.

After that, for Geng Xiaofan, it was very simple. visited some "old friends" in Chang'an and Maoling at will, and took the lead in recommending Wang Mang. Soon, "Wang Mang of the new capital was appointed as the Great Sima, recording Shangshu affairs, and being in charge of military orders and forbidden armies, and leading funerals." ”
