Chapter 377: The Queen Mother
Here, Zhang Lingyang had just decided on the matter of moving the capital in the court, and over there, Empress Dowager Xu and Queen Wang couldn't wait to pack up and set off with the concubines, princes, princesses and relatives of the harem.
It's really ......
In fact, now that the peony in Luoyang City is in full bloom, Empress Dowager Xu and Queen Wang have long wanted to see it.
Of course, looking at peonies is just an excuse for them, no one in the world knows that there are countless places of interest in Luoyang City.
As devout Buddhists, whether it is the White Horse Temple, the Longmen Grottoes or the Shaolin Temple, they are all places they want to worship.
Of course, they can't say that they are going to worship the Buddha, so they use the excuse that they want to see the peony a day earlier.
"Aren't there peonies in the capital?" Looking at Queen Wang, Zhang Lingyang said in surprise.
"Can the peonies in the capital be compared with those in Luoyang?" Queen Wang said, "Besides, this is the idea of the queen mother, and the concubine is not the mastermind!" ”
Seeing Queen Wang say this, Zhang Lingyang couldn't cry or laugh.
"That's it, it's not impossible for you to go now, but when you get to Luoyang, you must take care of those concubines, princes, and princesses, I'm worried that once I'm not around, there will be no minister to supervise there for the time being, and you're afraid you're going crazy."
"How can it be so unbearable as Your Majesty said? No matter what, who would dare to play crazy when the queen mother is there? Queen Wang said.
"I'm worried about the queen mother!" Zhang Lingyang smiled bitterly.
It is said that old children, old children, at the age of Empress Dowager Xu, the future days will be regarded as one day less than one day, so the days will become more and more casual.
In the capital, there was Zhang Lingyang, and the eyes of the courtiers were staring at the harem all the time, so the Empress Dowager Xu did not dare to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
But once you arrive in Luoyang, when no one is watching, I am afraid that you will run around with the harem concubines, princes, and princesses.
The truth is indeed as Zhang Lingyang thought.
When she arrived in Luoyang, Empress Dowager Xu had to take people out of the palace on a five-day trip from the mountain.
Today I took the queen to the White Horse Temple to worship the Buddha, tomorrow I took the noble concubine to Longmen to pay homage to the Buddha statue, and the day after tomorrow I took my niece Xu Wanming to the Shaolin Temple to incense, it can be said that I am busy every day.
The craziest time, Empress Dowager Xu actually took Concubine Zheng Guifei to the Great Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng Mansion to incense the Hundred Buddhas.
Kaifeng Mansion is the provincial capital of southern Henan, and Zheng Yongji, the governor of southern Henan, settled there.
When he heard that Empress Dowager Xu and his daughter Zheng Guifei were coming, Zheng Yongji was taken aback.
Seeing his daughter who had not seen him for a long time, Zheng Yongji did not have the slightest joy on his face, but severely reprimanded Zheng Guifei.
For Empress Dowager Xu, Zheng Yongji naturally didn't dare, and it was impossible for him to say anything else, so he could only add the grievances in his heart to his daughter.
After persuading the Empress Dowager Xu to return to Luoyang, Zheng Yongji immediately asked Zhang Lingyang, who was far away in the capital, to ask for guilt, and Zhang Lingyang knew about it.
Watching Zheng Yongji's plea, Zhang Lingyang was angry and funny. After replying to appease Zheng Yongji, Zhang Lingyang called Han Xiao to the palace of heart cultivation with the eunuch Xiao Fuzi and the commander of the Jinyi guard.
"Let's talk about it!" Glancing at Xiao Fuzi and Han Xiao, Zhang Lingyang asked in a light tone, "How much do you know about the Queen Mother?" ”
"This ......" Xiao Fuzi and Han Xiao glanced at each other, and finally Xiao Fuzi spoke: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the Queen Mother went out to worship the Buddha, and the slave has already heard someone report it."
It's just that the slave thinks that the queen mother is old in the end, and it is understandable that she wants to go out for activities, so the slave realm did not dare to tell the long live master about this. ”
"What about you? Han Xiao? Zhang Lingyang looked up at Han Xiao, and lowered his head again, so that Xiaofuzi and Han Xiao couldn't see Zhang Lingyang's face clearly at all.
Han Xiao pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the affairs of the Queen Mother's mother were also known in advance, and it was the minister's sin not to report it, and the minister confessed." ”
"A confession is over?" Zhang Lingyang glanced at Han Xiao coldly, "In case something happens to the Queen Mother during the period, can you afford it?" ”
"Your Majesty can rest assured, after Weichen knew about this, he ordered Jinyiwei to secretly protect the Queen Mother and all the mothers, and nothing will go wrong."
Seeing that Han Xiao had already made arrangements, and the Queen Mother did not make any mistakes along the way, Zhang Lingyang no longer made things difficult for the two.
"The Queen Mother went out during her stay in Luoyang, remember to keep it secret. Also, I ordered someone to give a message to the Queen Mother, just saying that it was me, as long as I didn't go out of the Luoyang realm, no matter what the Queen Mother did, I wouldn't say anything.
But the premise is that you must not go out of the boundaries of Luoyang. ”
"Weichen remembers, Weichen will order someone to expedite eight hundred miles and spread His Majesty's meaning to Luoyang!"
On the Luoyang side, when Zhang Lingyang's letter was delivered, Empress Dowager Xu had just returned to the palace.
Seeing Zhang Lingyang's letter, Empress Dowager Xu said to Queen Wang and others: "We girls don't have a few days of leisure, let's play with the old woman of the mourning family for a few more days!"
The mourning family heard that the peonies in the northern suburbs are blooming well, and tomorrow you will accompany my wife to the northern suburbs, and also appreciate this graceful and luxurious peony, and see how the peony in Luoyang looks different from other places! ”
"Daughter-in-law/concubine obeys!"
Queen Wang and the others could only answer stubbornly, but they looked forward to it in their hearts, and when Zhang Lingyang came to Luoyang, they would go to forget about the events of the past few days.
Otherwise, they will have their good fruit to eat.
As if seeing the worries in the hearts of Queen Wang and others, Empress Dowager Xu said: "You are also worried, if the emperor comes to hold you accountable, you will say that it means the mourning family, and then there will naturally be a mourning family to persuade the emperor." ”
Hearing this, Queen Wang and the others let go of their worries and accompanied the Empress Dowager Xu to play.
As the ancient capital of Chang'an, Luoyang's historical status is second only to Chang'an, there are countless places of interest and historical sites, even on the eve of Zhang Lingyang bringing courtiers to Luoyang, Empress Dowager Xu did not visit the scenic spots of Luoyang.
And Queen Wang didn't even appreciate half of Luoyang's scenic spots, so she began to get busy.
Zhang Lingyang, the son of heaven, is about to lead his ministers to Luoyang, how can the queen of the country, the mother of the country, have much leisure time?
Take care of the harem, appease the officials, and arrange Zhang Lingyang's future bedroom, which one should not worry about the queen and queen?
What's more, before coming to Luoyang, Zhang Lingyang specially told Queen Wang that he must remember to visit the people of Luoyang.
I didn't dare to forget Zhang Lingyang's staring, from her busy schedule, Queen Wang squeezed out three days to visit and comfort the lonely and widowed elderly and poor families in Luoyang.
In the face of the poor people's clothes that have not been washed for several months and the stench emitted by their bodies, the queen can not change her face, and she can talk to everyone about the better life in the future, which can be regarded as a miracle......
