An Le Hou Du Cheng, that is, the biological father of Concubine Du Gui, has been having nightmares as long as he closes his eyes recently.

Empress Dowager Fu reprimanded Concubine Du Gui in public, and after Du Cheng learned the news, he never slept peacefully.

Du Cheng was originally just an ordinary merchant in the Tang Kingdom in the south, because his daughter Du Shi was exceptionally handsome, and was favored by the lord of the Tang Kingdom, and took the initiative to dedicate it to Chai Rong, the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he was named An Le Hou.

When Chai Rong was alive, for the sake of his own son Cao Wang Xirang's face, he was also very good to the Du family, and from time to time there would be rewards from the palace to enter the door.

However, since the sudden death of the first emperor, the life of the Du family is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and January is not as good as January.

Living can be calculated in months, can you imagine how serious the Du family's financial situation is?

As long as Du Cheng thinks of the cowardice at the beginning, he must repent of his intestines, and at that time, Du Cheng more or less had some illusions about King Cao's future succession.

Once during a palace banquet, Chai Rong accidentally mentioned that he wanted to reward Du Cheng's only son, Anyang Bo Duhan.

This was supposed to be a great thing, but who taught Du Cheng that his skull was caught by the door panel at that time, and he actually refused the graceful words sent by the ghost.

Soon after the incident, Chai Rong died, and the mountain collapsed immediately. What followed was that Du Cheng's small life became more and more bitter day by day.

Especially, when Du Cheng learned that his daughter, the former Du Guifei and now Du Guifei, was actually reprimanded by Empress Dowager Fu and cried in public, his little heart, which did not have much bearing capacity, was immediately not good.

The Du family has been in business for generations, although the family wealth is acceptable, Du Cheng is a semi-literate person who can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and can only read the account books.

However, since he was named An Lehou, Du Cheng has also seen what the real top high society looks like.

In other words, although Old Marquis Du can't blend into the mainstream society, some people and things that he never understood before, he has somewhat understood some of them.

For example, after King Liang became the Son of Heaven, at the instigation of Empress Dowager Fu, the situation of his grandson of King Cao became extremely embarrassing.

What's even more terrifying is that in addition to Concubine Du Gui being reprimanded, according to rumors, Cao Wang Xirang was even slapped by his brother of the Son of Heaven.

This bad news is even more terrifying for the Du family than the sky falling!

Although it is only a faint rumor, in the case that Du Cheng has not been able to enter the palace for a long time, he would rather believe it than believe it!

Du Cheng is already over fifty years old, and his days are numbered, and what he is most worried about now is that if he dies, his only son Du Han will obviously not be able to inherit his marquis.

In the past, when Concubine Du Gui was favored in the palace, she also wanted to help Du Han find an official position, as long as things can be done, at least there is no need to sit and eat empty anymore!

However, this only opportunity was wasted by Du Cheng, who was well fed and clothed, warmed and covered with lard and oil!

Based on the same reason, after the Du family moved to Kaifeng, it was a rented house, and it was a little relationship, and most of the family funds accumulated in business in the early years were squandered, and the whole family house responded to an old saying: gold and jade are outside, and they have become an empty shelf!

Du Cheng doesn't have the ability to be an official, but he has some clever business skills, but the problem is that when the first emperor was alive a few years ago, Du Cheng's small abacus beads were loud, and he felt that business was too low, so he disdained it!

Now, Du Cheng wants to return to his old business, the question is, unless he sells his family's big house, where will he get enough capital?

A few days ago, Du Cheng sold a few ancestral antiques and playthings, and finally made up enough stepping stones, wanting to get through the door of the current privy envoy Li Gu, and help his son Du Han find a military position, planning to make a little extra water and subsidize the family.

However, after the middleman received the heavy gift, it seems that more than three months have passed, but there has been no news so far. But the old marquis Du was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistering.

"Master Hou, it's not good, our uncle, let the people from Kaifeng Mansion be arrested!"

Just as Du Cheng was wandering out of the world, the big butler ran in with a dirty face and reported even worse bad news.

"Ahh Du Cheng's eyes were fiercely dark, and the whole person shook, if it weren't for the big housekeeper's quick eyes and quick hands, he would have been able to hold him in time, but I was afraid that he would be planted on the ground.

After a long time, Du Cheng relieved himself, and asked the big butler who was beating his chest and back for him weakly, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

The chief housekeeper had a sad face and said, "I heard that it was the street that molested the people's women, and the lady's official bumped into the ......."

Du Cheng was so anxious that he almost vomited blood, but fortunately, the big housekeeper sent a cup of tea in time, which helped him barely suppress the surging blood.

"Quick, take my post to Kaifeng Mansion and ask what the situation is?" After all, Du Cheng has been a marquis for a long time, and he knows a little bit about the situation in the official face.

Objectively speaking, Concubine Du Gui no longer pleases the Empress Dowager, she is also the concubine of the first emperor after all, the biological mother of King Cao, and the royal decent Kaifeng Mansion has to give some more.

Of course, as for how much face Kaifeng Mansion is willing to give to Anle Hou Mansion, it depends on how much silver Du Cheng is willing to stuff in.

"Quick, go and take my Han Dynasty plate to the pawnshop, and come back for more than 100 yuan......" Du Cheng's heart hurt so much, and he sighed for a while.

The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles are just some big road goods, and what is really valuable is that the jade plate that is relatively rare in the Han Dynasty!

This kind of jade plate, Du Cheng has a total of four, last time a wealthy businessman wanted to buy it at a high price, Du Cheng was reluctant to sell.

Now, the family is empty, and Du has become the safety of his only son, even if he is no longer happy, he has to temporarily take out the plate and redeem it when he has money in the future.

After a few days, Du Cheng's money as a plate was spent completely, but he still didn't get out of Kaifeng Mansion.

Du Cheng was in a hurry, and who didn't sleep all night, and in the blink of an eye, he fell ill, lying on the couch and humming, and escaped the apocalyptic scene of the dying man alive.

The Du family is almost over, even if Du Cheng no longer wants to offend the Empress Dowager Fu, he has to bite the bullet and order the chief housekeeper to hand the suicide note copied by him into the palace.

Who would have thought that it was precisely because of this appalling suicide note that a new era was ushered in!

Fan Zhen has always been very strict about the news in the palace, and by the time Wang Pu learned the news from a special channel, three hours had passed.

"Wen Sugong, haha, my Wen Su, have you ever heard that Concubine Du Gui cried and shouted, and her cloak was scattered, and she openly made trouble in the palace of the Queen Mother without any dignity?" Wang Pu's face showed a mysterious smile like a thousand-year-old demon fox.

Li Gu drank all the wine in the cup, then threw away the wine glass, slapped the case, and groaned loudly: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying...... Haha, or say: Princes and generals, rather have a kind? Du Hou, Du Hou, you are so beautiful! ”

Almost at the same time, Li Qiong, the king of Huayang County, had also roughly grasped some insider information through special channels.

"Hehe, San Lang, it really made Li Wuyi fall for it, the tree wants to be quiet, and the wind doesn't stop."

Li Qiong immediately instructed: "San Lang, you go in person, be sure to hand over this letter to Zuo Jiangming's hand."

Wei Renpu, who is also one of the eight ministers of Tuogu, Wei Lao Xianggong, because he was unwell, he had just taken sick leave for a few days, and he was not on duty in the political hall, so when he knew the news, it was early in the morning of the second day.

"Ah...... Is there such a thing? This...... What kind of system is this? After hearing the news, Old Minister Wei sighed again and again, "The family is not with outsiders, and the palace is not harmonious, but I am afraid that it will be ...... The Queen Mother is really confused! ”

Many famous events in history, in fact, are often not planned in advance, many times are caused by sudden small things, based on the logic of pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, after continuous linkage and continuous wrestling, the final result is often jaw-dropping!

History, from the moment Du Guifei made a fuss, produced many amazing chain reactions!

The wind is about to rise, and the people in the bureau are still ignorant, alas! Lamentable!
