The Queen Mother, who is already about to come to the end of her life, is not an easy person. After decades of ups and downs in the palace, he has experienced countless intrigues. Although the desire for power in her heart has been suppressed and has not been completely released, it does not mean that it will be extinguished.

People in the world compete for power and profit, some for fame, some for money. And the queen mother in Weiyang Palace is just for that breath.

In the early years, she used endless scheming and was willing to grovel in front of the Dou family, and finally won the throne for her son, and she also became the noble queen mother. However, under the huge figure of the Empress Dowager Dou, she can still only live in the palace and cannot touch the power of half of the dynasty.

What the Empress Dowager Dou can do, why can't she do it? When I think of the humiliations I have suffered, in the darkness of the night, endless resentment arises.

stayed up until the Empress Dowager Dou finally died, and the emperor successfully and truly mastered the imperial power of the entire world. However, her situation does not seem to have changed, it is still the same as before, if not worse.

As the queen mother, not only does she not have any influence on the affairs of the court, but even the major events in this harem do not need her to decide. In her unwillingness, Prime Minister Tian Jue lost power in the power field. In this kind of contest, the consequences of losing ground are very serious. The Tian family was completely defeated, and the once prominent Wu'an Hou Mansion suddenly disappeared.

Those enemies, the queen mother naturally kept them firmly in mind. She believes that as long as she has not died of old age, she will definitely have the opportunity to take revenge. This hatred also spread to her relationship with the emperor's son. It was from that time that the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager began to become extremely cold. The discord between mother and son is no secret in the eyes of the subjects of the world. Although this tense relationship is covered by the veil of "filial piety" ruling the world, they are very clear to each other that the so-called mother-son relationship has long been wiped out in the face of the cruel imperial power.

It is precisely because of the power of hatred for a long time that the Queen Mother is alive and strong, waiting for the last chance. Maybe you can't wait any longer, so you will be buried in Huangquan. Maybe...... Finally waited!

The emperor is in poor health, and the queen mother is temporarily acting for the affairs of the court, which is not a violation of the system. It seems to be influenced by the high queen Lu Pheasant, the tradition of the Han Dynasty has always been like this, and it will not surprise the subjects of the world.

As for the crown prince, he has no real experience in managing the government. As long as the emperor did not personally order the crown prince to come to power, the queen mother had enough reasons to let him stay on the sidelines. The reason for this certainty is that the emperor is no longer capable of speaking. And more importantly, among the ministers of the imperial court, there are many people who are entangled with the Empress Dowager and the Li forces of the Jade Palace. If the time really comes for them to have a voice, this is crucial.

The emperor gradually became indifferent to Empress Wei, who was no longer in his prime, and was dissatisfied with the crown prince, but these old and cloudy eyes could see clearly. It is precisely for this reason that when the Queen Mother signaled Li Wanyu to take the opportunity to do something, she would be so fearless.

Unexpectedly, the secret discussion had not been fully planned, and the news that should have been sent out had not yet been sent out, and it was interrupted by people who broke into the palace without permission. The chagrin and anger in their hearts can be imagined.

The most hated person is in front of him, and he is so outspoken, scolding them in a scolding tone, it is simply bearable, which is unbearable!

The atmosphere in the Shuyu Palace was tense, and in the entire Weiyang Palace, the concubines and beauties everywhere who had already vaguely known a little bit of news also began to have uneasy emotions gradually spreading. They sent people out to inquire about the news and waited and saw anxiously.

At the same time, beyond the heavy rain, something was also beginning to happen in several places in Chang'an City.

The rain was rapid and slow, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an. In such weather, two carriages came out of Mingyue Tower, and after turning a few streets, they stopped directly in front of the mansion of Sun Hong, the Marquis of Pingjin.

The car door opened, the oil-paper umbrella opened the rain curtain, and the three people who walked down in turn stepped on the high steps of the rain. The five or six elite men left behind in the carriage observed the surrounding situation, stroking the hilt of their knives with their hands, very vigilant.

There was already a housekeeper waiting here at the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was obvious that someone had already come to pass the news before. The old housekeeper glanced at the visiting guests a few times, but did not ask anything, but after saluting, he turned around and led people through the corridor of the hall, and came directly to the back of the palace, where the terrain is higher, and the three-story treasure roof is the place where Prime Minister Sun Hong receives important guests here on weekdays.

The wooden structure of the ground floor hall is very wide, and the furnishings inside look very simple, without any gold and jade decorations, which is very in line with the image of Prime Minister Sun Hong's simple appearance.

The idlers and others have already retreated, and they are all far away. Only a close-fitting little scholar was left serving tea. Sun Hong, the gray-haired prime minister of the Han Dynasty, wearing a cotton robe, stood in front of the long window with his hands in his hands, silently watching the rain outside. I didn't know what I was thinking, and when I looked from behind, the somewhat rickety figure looked particularly bleak and heavy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw the figure who also looked a little old who stepped into the door under the guidance of the butler, and couldn't help but move slightly, and some inexplicable emotions came to his heart.

Seeing Gongsun Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, looked over, the other two stopped, and the old scholar in the green robe who walked in front chuckled lightly and arched his hand casually.

"Brother Gongsun, don't come unharmed! After many years, I have long known that you are a marquis and a very popular minister, although you are in Chang'an, but I am clothed, but I have not come to visit the house...... Hehe! ”

Gongsun Hong didn't laugh either. He looked at the man named Master Father Yan earnestly, as if he wanted to see something on his face. They are familiar with each other, but they are strangers.

At that time, when he was in the prime of life, he traveled to study the world, and he was conceited in his chest to learn, although he had also met many well-educated people, but in his eyes, there were very few people who could talk about the longitude and latitude of the world.

If there is anything that can make him remember it in his heart and have a sense of amazing talent, there are only two people in those old days, mountains and rivers. One is Heluo Dong Zhongshu, and the other is Yingchuan's master Yan.

In retrospect, many years ago, it seems that the path they took was predestined to take separately. It's just that Gongsun Hong felt a little strange. Dong Zhongshu is nothing, he is a person who pays attention to learning, and his research on academic heaven is far higher than his desire for power in the world. Therefore, he is now in charge of all matters of Chang'an Academy as the Grand Priest of the Royal Academy, which is also the path he is suitable for.

What surprised Prime Minister Sun Hong was the master father in front of him. There is not much difference in their ages, originally according to Gongsun Hong's prediction, the most extreme person who was already cynical back then, is like a sharp blade that is difficult to hide the edge, sooner or later he will go to the Han Dynasty and make countless waves.

The talent of the master father is unparalleled in the country. There are many times when even he sighs to himself, and even faintly feels jealous and hateful. Gongsun Hong even had a premonition at that time, maybe one day in the future, they would become political enemies and opponents in the court, which was a terrible thing.

However, so far, Prime Minister Sun Hong finally has to admit that he was wrong in his prediction. I don't know what kind of force changed the trajectory of the main father's life. The person standing in front of him now, although his face is gradually aging like him, but the spaciousness, calmness, and serenity faintly revealed in it are obvious. This is also what makes Gongsun Hong, who knows the rough life of his master, feel the most strange and incomprehensible.

Mr. Master smiled. What the hell is going on with me, the prime minister, others don't know, don't you understand? Over the years, I have heard that you are by Yuanhou's side, and you have won his trust, so it can be said that you are obedient to your words. You are free to do what you like...... To have such an opportunity is also enviable! ”

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Hong retracted those strange thoughts. He patted the arm of the master father with his hand, and felt infinite emotion.

The two exchanged a few words, but they didn't have time to say much about the old year. Since a little earlier, when he received a handwritten letter from the main father, Gongsun Hong knew in his heart that the main father Yan sat in Changle Yuan for Yuan Zhao, and he would not come out to visit anyone casually. If you go to the Three Treasures Hall every day, something extremely important must have happened and you need your help. Could it be because Yuan Zhao was personally ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned in the embroidered guard? If he really asked for his help for this, then he was really a little embarrassed.

Gongsun Hong, who deeply understands the sinister situation in the calm situation of the imperial court, is now like an old fox who has cultivated the Tao, he just wants to dive deeply, and everything that has nothing to do with him will be blocked, and he will never participate if he can. He doesn't ask for much, as long as he can get the emperor's permission to step down peacefully, and then return to the spring forest, and be a leisurely person again, it is the greatest luxury.

However, this minimum wish of his is probably destined not to come true. Because, the master father Yan did not come alone, and he did not bring a request for Gongsun Hong to help Yuan Zhao with his old friendship.

came to the door in the rain today, and there was no one else to do, just let this Han prime minister, who had done nothing for a long time, really stand up and do his duty.

Although the body is old, the blood still cares?!

In the heavy rain last night, Zhu Anshi, who was covered in blood, came to Mingyue Tower alone. After seeing Ji Ying, he just said something calmly.

"Help me take revenge and vent the hatred in my chest! Chang'an, Chaotang...... The secrets of countless people, An Shi is willing to give ......! ”
