I don't complain that the queen mother is so righteous, if you want to talk about it seriously, the marriage of the daughters of the Han Dynasty clan has its own system, although it is not as strict as some dynasties in history, but in this Weiyang Palace, some rules still have to be followed, not to mention the identity of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the Queen Mother had not heard of some rumors about Princess Suxi before, but since it was the person from Jianzhang Palace that she hated, she didn't bother to care.

And the news I heard today is very different, since there is such a good opportunity, how can you not take advantage of it?

It has been a long time since the palace maids in the Yilan Hall have seen the smile on the Queen Mother's face as happy as today, and she ordered people to prepare refreshments and wait for the arrival of Da Zongzheng.

It is not a good errand to serve the queen mother, who has been extremely bad-tempered in recent years, in this palace. It is not uncommon to be scolded with a rod or slapped because of a small mistake. Even if there are several palace maids who died because they were innocently affected in anger.

The gloomy clouds of the Yilan Hall are bleak for a day, and under the gloomy atmosphere for many years, everyone walks carefully, lest they be blamed at every turn. In the rumors circulating behind the scenes, the queen mother was "crazy". Although no one dared to show the slightest hint on the surface, the curse in the bottom of their hearts and the voice of hoping that she would accompany the first emperor soon were probably heard in the corners of the entire palace.

If Yuan Zhao was here, he would naturally know that this old woman in her sixties was just in serious "menopause". And if you don't get the love from your family for a long time, it will be even more serious. So these people who serve around her are also unlucky enough.

The main responsibility of the Han Dynasty was to manage the genealogy of the emperor's family and the affairs of the imperial family. This position, although it does not have much power in the court, is an extremely important existence within the clan.

Generally speaking, those who can hold this position are those who are highly respected or have a very high rank in the clan surnamed Liu. Only a person with such prestige can deter the unruly characters among the royal children, and can also deal with some ridiculous things that are unimaginable to outsiders.

The current Dazong Zheng's name is Liu Xuan, who is a direct descendant of Emperor Gaozu, and is a generation with Emperor Wen of Han, so it can be said that he is extremely old. Although he was the latest in his generation, he is now in his seventies, which is considered an advanced age in this era.

Since the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he has begun to hold the position of Dazongzheng, has been more than 20 years, old-fashioned, strict to others, old and more pouting, extremely difficult to accommodate in case of trouble, living a stone in the pit. Therefore, many in the royal family would rather avoid him than provoke him.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask him to go to Yilan Palace, although he was a little puzzled in his heart, Liu Xuan was not lazy, meticulously tidied up his clothes, and followed the inner servants all the way. No matter how weak the influence of this queen mother is, she is still the queen mother after all, and his attitude towards the most important rituals is extremely respectful.

In the Yilan Palace, the Queen Mother smiled uncharacteristically and let this great master drink tea, with a very kind attitude. After Liu Xuan respectfully thanked the tea, he sat beside a few cases and listened to her.

After a few ordinary homely conversations, before he could open his mouth to ask the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had already looked at the few palace people standing below and lowered her face.

"Lord Zongzheng, do you know why the mourning family recruited you into the palace today?"

Liu Xuan moved his body and replied: "When the old minister heard the summons of the Queen Mother, he hurriedly came, but he really didn't know what it was for, and asked the Queen Mother to show him."

"Oh? Didn't you hear the wind at all? Such a big thing, I heard that it has caused a sensation in Chang'an, and even the lonely old woman of the mourning family is already aware of the deep palace closure. Zongzheng doesn't care too much about the affairs of the royal family! ”

Hearing the indifference in the Queen Mother's voice, Liu Xuan involuntarily stroked his gray beard, he had some doubts in his heart, he was a little old, his mind was not good, and his memory was also poor, could it really be that there was something important that he had heard about and forgot immediately?

"The old minister is dizzy, his energy in the past few years is not as good as in previous years, and he has long had the intention to retire to the countryside and give up the position of Dazongzheng to a young and strong person. But His Majesty the Emperor has not allowed it. Alas! The old minister can only barely carry this burden. Hehe, what happened, please let the Queen Mother know! ”

"Yes, we are all old, and it is said that it is no longer good to meddle in the affairs of the court and the palace, but can some things be managed well? This is a great country, but Emperor Gaozu and several previous emperors have worked hard for so many years to get it, how can they watch it be destroyed in the hands of some juniors who don't know the height of the sky? Hum! ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly from her nose. looked solemn, and at this time she really had the appearance of a queen mother. Liu Xuan was surprised in his heart, and he was even more confused. What is the great thing that can threaten the stability of the country? If the Queen Mother hadn't bluffed, she really had to pay attention to it.

"The old minister is not talented, he is in charge of the great sect, if such a thing really happens, it is naturally incumbent on him to resolutely stop it!"

"Good! This is the attitude of an old minister of the clan. The mourning family has heard these days that the daughter of Empress Wei of Jianzhang Palace, that is, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, is about to marry a foreign minister! Don't you really know this news? ”

Liu Xuan's heart moved, although Da Zongzheng did not participate in court politics, he was not a deaf person's ear. What you should know, of course, has its own sources. But I just don't know what the Queen Mother means when she says this.

"Back to the Queen Mother, about this matter, the old minister has also heard a thing or two, although I don't know whether the news is true or not, but I don't think it will be untargeted. Dare to ask the Queen Mother, is there really such a thing?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Master Sosho! This matter is not only true, but it is said that the Jianzhang Palace side has already been decided. The princess got married, which was not a big deal, but they didn't expect that the decision they made this time would be extremely absurd and lose royal face! ”

"The old minister would like to hear about it! If there is anything that needs to be effective, it must be dealt with in accordance with the rules set by the clan, and the Queen Mother does not need to worry about this. ”

Seeing that the more the Queen Mother spoke, the more she looked like she was talking fiercely, Zongzheng Liu Xuan's expression also became solemn, and his heart was slightly excited. I think that he is also a descendant of the authentic Emperor Gaozu, but no one has ever played any important role in the court. Even if he sat in this big and righteous seat, except for punishing a few sect disciples painlessly over the years, he didn't have the opportunity to show the prestige he deserved.

If there is really an opportunity to use this to show his presence in this position, Liu Xuan doesn't mind using it. And today's attitude of the Queen Mother made him vaguely aware of something, and he became a little inexplicably looking forward to it from indifference at the beginning.

Sure enough, the next words of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty did not disappoint him. I saw that this old woman, who should be extremely noble in the eyes of the uninformed people, showed a hideous look on her face, and began to completely vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"The emperor does not focus on social welfare...... A lowly person sat on the throne of the queen, and her son also became the crown prince...... And today, something even more outrageous is about to happen! The woman surnamed Wei in Jianzhang Palace didn't know how to confuse the emperor, and even agreed to marry her daughter to that unknown boy. What's more, the dignified eldest princess of the Han Dynasty is not in the main room, but on an equal footing with a folk woman, and wants to enter on the same day...... This is really a strange story that has never been seen in ancient times! It's a ...... of royal face! ”

The more the queen mother spoke, the more angry she became, thinking of the grievances she had suffered in the palace over the years, no matter what status she had, anyway, there were no outsiders.

Liu Xuan frowned secretly, his eyes flashed and he thought in his heart, although he was a little reluctant to join forces with this old and confused queen mother to do something, but this was indeed a rare opportunity! Even if it wasn't for anything else, the kid of unknown origin in the mouth of the Queen Mother was the one he and many people had gritted their teeth and held grudges for many years!

At that time, more than a dozen of the top nobles and wealthy families in Chang'an City collapsed overnight, the court changed color, and tens of thousands of people were implicated, and the fate of countless people was changed...... And the initiator of all this is this wild boy of unknown origin, Changle Hou Yuanzhao!

Liu Xuan had formed a relationship with the Chen family, who had been hereditary as the Marquis of Qu in the early years, and the Chen family bore the brunt of that turmoil and was completely finished, and he tried his best at that time but could not protect it, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.

For the emperor, he naturally didn't dare to hold a grudge, but for Yuan Zhao, who caused this monstrous wave, Liu Xuan and many people led by him couldn't wait to eat his flesh and die of his skin!

"The Queen Mother doesn't need to say more, the old minister already knows everything about this matter. That's really unusual! The eldest princess married so hastily, if she really did this, it would not only be a shame for the emperor, but also for the face of our royal ancestors! Even if it spreads, even those barbarian clans will laugh at it! Therefore, for the sake of the majesty of the Han royal family, this matter must be resolutely stopped! The queen mother can rest assured, and the old minister will contact all the clan elders...... Yuanzhao children, don't think about it! ”
