Concubine Wang Shu continued: "Your aunt and I have been selected as the maids of the Yingwang Mansion since we were children, we are both from the Handan Wang family, and we are also distant relatives from the Taiyuan Wang family. At that time, your aunt was smart, and she took a needle from it, contacted the Taiyuan Wang family, helped the first emperor make friends with Wang Yuanyou, and then hooked up with Qiu Shiliang through Wang Yuanyou.

"After the death of Emperor Jingzong, Qiu Shiliang and others supported his second brother, that is, Emperor Wenzong, Wenzong's harem battle, Concubine Yang killed the crown prince Li Yong born to Concubine De Wang, and Li Rong, the eighth brother of Wenzong, was suspected of having an affair inside and outside the palace at that time.

Wenzong hated Concubine Yang Xian to the bone, and didn't want to obey her wishes, so he set up Li Chengmei, the sixth son of the boss Jingzong, as the crown prince. But before Li Chengmei could be canonized, Wenzong died, and some people said that it was the hand of Concubine Yang Xian.

"Qiu Shiliang, a lieutenant of the left army, and Yu Hongzhi, a lieutenant of the right army, took the opportunity to abolish the crown prince Li Chengmei and set up your father, who is the fifth in the ranks, as the emperor!

"Among them, our two sisters have made great contributions, and after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he named me a concubine and your aunt as a talented person.

Soon after, at the instigation of Qiu Shiliang, the first emperor killed Li Chengmei, Yang Xianfei and Li Rong. Coupled with the four prime ministers killed by the Manna Change, the world said that Qiu Shiliang killed a concubine, two kings, and four phases!

"At Wenzong's funeral, Qiu Shiliang killed the privy envoy Liu Hongyi and other eunuchs, and they monopolized power."

"Later, your aunt was very favored, and I was also satisfied with Jun'er and you. Everything seemed to be very good, until the third year of Huichang, Li Deyu and the first emperor conspired against Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi, and soon they really killed Yu Hongzhi, and Qiu Shiliang was so frightened that he asked for Zhishi.

At this time, after the change of manna, Zhaoyi Jiedu, who had been working against Qiu Shiliang, made Liu Congzhi die, and his son Liu Zhi sought to stand on his own, Li Deyu thought that Zhaoyi was different from the four towns of Hebei and could not agree, so he began the battle of counterinsurgency.

Qiu Shiliang was lucky, because Liu Congji's father and son had been attacking him, but he couldn't move at that time, so he escaped and died a good death.

But his son Xuanhui made Qiu Congyi more miserable, and was casually killed by the first emperor on a crime call, and the Qiu family was also expelled from Lingnan.

The first URL

Although the Qiu family has collapsed, Qiu Shiliang has been in business for decades, and most of the eunuchs in the palace are his henchmen, the leader of which is Ma Yuanzhen.

"The first emperor was unavailable, Ma Yuanzhen was tame on the surface, so he made him a lieutenant in the left army, and in order to check and balance, Liu Xingshen, the nephew of Liu Hongyi, the former privy envoy who was killed by Qiu Shiliang, was used as a privy envoy, plus Yang Qinyi, who had always been on the wrong path with the enemy, formed a new faction in the eunuchs. But these two men have no military power.

Although Ma Yuanzhen was secretly dissatisfied, he was still relatively honest and did not dare to act rashly.

"The current emperor was still the King of Light at that time, and the first emperor called him Uncle Guang, but in fact, the two of them were about the same age.

"The first emperor was concentrating on quelling the rebellion, and when the battle situation was not going well, he was extremely irritable, and the palace people were to blame at every turn, so they snubbed your aunt and beat her a few times, so they were taken advantage of by the King of Light.

"The two fornicated, and then I found out that there was something strange, your aunt begged each other hard, and I read it in a mother's compatriot, so I couldn't bear to report her, and then I was pulled into the water instead."

Speaking of this, Concubine Wang Shufei was a little vague, and her words were slightly embarrassed, and it seemed that King Heguang was not clear at the beginning.

Guo Hong knew that she was a little embarrassed, so he said: "These are all in the past, why did these thieves murder his father later, but it was the King of Light who killed him?" ”

Concubine Wang Shufei hurriedly shook her head and said, "Not today." In the fifth year of Huichang, he and your aunt contacted Ma Yuanzhen and planned to poison him together, but the matter was revealed, and he fled to Hebei. However, the four towns of Hebei do not buy the account of the first emperor, and they are also strange goods.

"The first emperor was furious and gave your aunt to death, and if it weren't for your begging, I would have almost died!

Ma Yuanzhen let his subordinate Meng Xiurong take the blame, and the two claimed to be deceived by King Guang, and finally Meng Xiurong was punished to guard the mausoleum, but Ma Yuanzhen was not damaged at all! In fact, the first emperor was afraid of the military power in his hands, and did not dare to force him to take risks, but secretly planned to slowly weaken his power.

In the sixth year of Huichang, Ma Yuanzhen felt that it was not good, so he made the first move, and finally succeeded in killing the first emperor. King Guang rushed back to Chang'an after the fact. ”

Guo Hong gritted his teeth and said: "So it was Ma Yuanzhen who killed my father!" ”

Wang Shufei nodded.

"In fact, the first emperor had already been killed by him, but in order to wait for the King of Light, they cut off internal and external traffic and kept the secret for five days! Afterwards, in order to crack down on the support of education, the responsibility was put on Zhao Guizhen and others. ”

Guo Hong finally understood the cause and effect of Wuzong's violent death back then, he thought about it and asked, "What political enemies does Ma Yuanzhen have now?" ”

Wang Shufei said: "I have been staying in Xingqing Palace, the news is closed, and most of the outside things are said by Chao Meiren, and I don't know if it's true." It is said that Ma Yuanzhen, the privy envoy Wang Yuanyou, the lieutenant of the right army, Tutu Shiye and others are one party, that is, the previous enemy party, and the retired Liu Xingshen and Feilong Yang Qinyi are one party, but the power is relatively weak. As for the outer dynasty, I don't know, you can ask the Guo family. ”

"This Chao beauty is very good to my mother."

"She was originally my maid, and she has always been close to me, your eldest brother also entrusted her son Li Wen to take care of her, and Song Yiwen of Shanggong is a person who can trust her life."

Guo Hong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Song Shanggong is also his own person?" ”

"She was raised by the Empress Dowager and me, but she acted incompatible with the Guo family to the outside world, so that she could gain the emperor's trust."

"My mother said that she was cold to my father?"

Wang Shufei rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Children care so much about adults, okay, I'll tell you, what kind of person your father is!"

Wang Shufei looked up at the starry sky and pondered for a moment before she said slowly:

"According to the conscience, the first emperor was eloquent and strategic, promoted the good and eliminated the disadvantages, punished the corrupt officials, purged the Qing Dynasty, and did not lose to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, which was the battle to recover Hehuang that has been in a uproar recently, and it was also planned after the pacification of Liu Zhi in the fourth year of Huichang. I remember that at that time, there was a quarrel between the whole court and the whole court for what was the preparation of the border library.

"The reason why Li Deyu was demoted was the wrongful murder of Wu Xiang case in Huichang for five years, in fact, it was insisted on by the first emperor, he hated corrupt officials the most, so he issued a special order to redo it, in order to warn the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, where is that case a wrongful case?

"He is such a great husband, vigorous and resolute, and he is the most dazzling one wherever he goes, and your aunt and I are very pleased.

"But since the victory of the counterinsurgency, his temper has become bigger and bigger, and people are getting more and more anxious, and he wants to finish everything quickly, and we all feel it, but we don't know why, so we can only accompany and be careful all day long.

"But your aunt is also a stubborn character, and she has always been favored before, so she begged him to be crowned queen.

The first emperor also liked her at that time, and remembered her previous contributions, so he agreed. But then when he came back from the court that afternoon, he said that Li Deyu thought that our sister was from a low background and did not agree to be crowned queen, and only said that it was okay to be named a virtuous concubine.

"Your aunt was arrogant, and she made a fuss at that time, and the first emperor was furious and beat her hard, and the two of them had a disagreement from then on.

"Then there were several more conflicts, and I mediated to finally make your aunt bow her head, and the matter was over, but her virtuous concubine kept dragging on without the canonization ceremony.

Later, until she was given death, she was still a talented person, but at that time, she was called Wang Xian Concubine inside and outside the palace.

"After your aunt died, Li Deyu was also very surprised, and said in his "Tribute to the Civil and Military Dynasties" that since the princess had the favor of a special room, she died overnight with a coquettish will, and the crowd was all frightened, so that she was happy and angry after the success.

"Actually, although your aunt is a little pampered and arrogant, but it is not too much, the real cause of her death is that she had an affair with the King of Light, and was bumped into by the first emperor, thinking that it was a great shame, and then she kept this matter a secret, and she never forgot it until she was dying, and she was still ordering the pursuit of the King of Light."

"Actually, your aunt is also very conflicted in her heart, she cried and confessed her last words to me before she died, saying that she didn't like King Guang, just to be angry with the first emperor, she didn't expect to come to this point in the end, and the poisoning failure was because she secretly poked out the poison, otherwise the first emperor would not have known at all!

"I went to ask the emperor at that time, but he didn't believe ...... at all"

……

Guo Hong discussed with his adoptive mother how to go to the Jieqi Pavilion to steal the relics of the Empress Dowager Guo, and Wang Shufei told him: "The Jieqi Pavilion of the Xianzong Dynasty is the residence of the Empress Dowager, and now it is occupied by the Empress Dowager Zheng, saying that she is not used to living in Xingqing Palace, in fact, she used to live in Yeting Palace, what is not used to living, and she is not afraid of the Empress Dowager." ”

Guo Hong said goodbye to his adoptive mother and returned to the True Courtyard, passing by the Sixteen Princes' Mansion from Jiacheng, and then entered the southeast corner of Daming Palace.

met the evening ingredient head-on, saying that he had come just in time, and Li Xiao was going to follow Liu Jieyu to the Dongnei Garden not far away, where a polo match was being held, and the emperor summoned all the concubines to watch.

So Guo Hong followed Liu Jieyu's team, and Li Wei was very excited when he saw him, so he jumped out of the car and asked questions.

The team soon entered the East Inner Garden, which was originally a royal forbidden garden, but as the scale of eunuchs continued to increase, a children's workshop was established in the garden, which became a residence for the envoys, and occupied most of the place.

On the other side are the Imperial Horse Workshop, which is a place where singing and dancing are taught, and next to it is the Kangaku Hall, where the emperor would come to watch the newly rehearsed songs and dances.

Originally, there was a dragon head pond that could be boated, 14 years ago, 2,000 people from the Zuo Shen Ce Army filled in this place as a bow field, and built a pavilion hall next to it.

The base camp of the Zuo Shence Army is just to the east, very close to here.

Every time the emperor inspected the left army, he would come to the bow field to watch the Shence army play polo.

Today is a competition between the left and right Shence Army, and the lieutenants of both armies have arrived.

After Liu Jieyu arrived, she was introduced into the Pavilion Hall, and when she saw someone she knew well, she stepped forward to greet her.

Guo Hong followed behind Li Xiao and listened to the nightingale on the side whisper: "This is a talented person, and next to her is Li Yi, the fifth prince of Qingwang, who was born to her." ”

Shi Cairen is beautiful and not plump, Guo Hong saw Chao Meiren, and only then did he know that the emperor's preference was different, and he seemed to like thin and small.

A group of princes gathered together, divided into two distinct groups, children have no scruples, and they will not hide their likes and dislikes.

Li Xiao walked up to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, bowed, and said, "Big brother has always been good? ”

The man took his hand and said, "Second brother, sit here and watch the game together." ”

This should be Li Wen.
