Chapter 4: Father and Son Ask Right
It was already night, looking into the house outside, seeing that it was dark, Liu He ordered the slaves to find flint and pine candles, with the help of faint night light, Liu He picked up the flint, crackled the fire, lit the candles, dispelled the darkness in the room, and asked his father Liu Yu: "Is it possible that the Son of Heaven wants to abolish the long and young?" This is going to be a disaster! ”
"Yes! However, there is considerable resistance. How did you get started? Liu Yu looked at his son with a smile, obviously looking like he was taking the school exam.
"Why?" Liu He frowned: "Empress He was pushed up by Wang Fu and Zhang Rang to get rid of Empress Song. Father is saying that Zhang Rang will definitely persuade His Majesty. ”
"My son has grown up." Liu Yu nodded: "Wang Fu got rid of Empress Song because she was the in-law of Liu Kui, the king of Bohai. Liu Kui was ostensibly punished because Wang Fu failed to ask for bribes; In fact, the first emperor died, and when the clan was choosing an heir, Liu Kui once befriended Wang Fu, suggesting that he would help him ascend the throne, but in the end, Wang Fu and the Dou family chose the current majesty to take the throne. ”
"That is to say, Wang Fu is afraid that the old things will be exposed, so he will strike first and kill them cleanly." Liu He was surprised, thinking that the palace struggle was too complicated.
"So now... Wang Fu and Cao Jie have passed away, but Zhang Rang is still alive. Liu Yu pondered.
"That is to say, Empress He was single-handedly promoted by Zhang Rang and Wang Fu, and his interests are involved here. What's more important is that the case of Queen Song's witch Gu was concocted by Zhang Rang, Queen He, and Wang Fu, if Queen He was really sent to the cold palace, in case of hooking up the old things, Zhang Rang's head would have to be moved. Liu He woke up.
"Therefore, if you want to abolish the growth and the young, you must first abolish the latter. But how can the royal family repeatedly abolish the mother of the country! Liu Yu touched his beard.
Just when Liu Yu's father and son were discussing, Liu Hong, the emperor of the Inner Palace, was so angry that his lungs exploded, and he hugged his youngest son Liu Xie: "Son! You're so miserable. That! Dog Butcher! Dare to deceive! ”
Zhang Rang at the gate of the dormitory swallowed his saliva, this juncture should not have come forward, but Queen He was involved in his interests here, and if he hooked up the old things, his head would have to be moved. Even if it's not guaranteed, it's protected! Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and walked into the hall, came to the emperor and knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Long live the anger." ”
Liu Hong turned his head: "You came just in time!" Go and send me the Queen! ”
"Minions...... The minion pleaded with long live the mercy. ”
"You know I'm going to depose her, don't you?" Liu Hong sneered, "Hey, hey, hey...... What's open? Why didn't she open grace? What is Wang Meiren's crime? Also, what happened to the case of Song Hou Wu Gu in the first place? ”
What is afraid of coming, the emperor understands everything in his heart, and Zhang Rang's heart beats wildly. He also wanted to say something good for the queen, but his mouth was tightly gagged by reason.
"Do you dare to resist the edict?" Liu Hong stared at him, "Go!" ”
"Minions...... The minion is really ......" Zhang Rang didn't know what to say.
Liu Hong didn't get angry with him, raised his head and shouted: "Zhao Zhong! He doesn't go you go! Spread my word, first abolish what is the girl, and detain him in the riot room! ”
Shocked by this, Zhang Rang had already made up his mind, hugged Liu Hong's leg and said, "Your Majesty, you can't be like this!" ”
"Bold!" Liu Hong kicked his shoulders open, "Such a slut, what are you leaving her for!" Zhang Rang fell on his heels, climbed two steps and hugged his legs tightly, and continued to admonish: "The emperor thinks twice!" How can the royal family repeatedly abolish the mother of the country! ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Hong's heart trembled slightly: Yes! The Song Hou family has been wiped out, and now they are going to abolish He Hou, how can there be an emperor in the world who kills two queens in a row, and it is a witch Gu Zhen, and it is poisoning concubines, this large number of palace scandals are spreading, do you want the royal face anymore? How will future generations of historians write about themselves? But if she is not abolished, will Wang Meiren die in vain...... Liu Hong was a little embarrassed, feeling that his head was about to explode, he broke free from Zhang Rang, took two steps back and sat on the dragon bed.
Zhang Rang saw that he was moved, but he didn't dare to say anything casually, so he only knocked his head loudly; The most pitiful thing is Zhao Zhong, who has already received the order of the emperor after the abolition, and when he sees this situation, he is not going to stay, and his left foot and right foot are fighting.
"The Queen Mother is ......" With a shout, Mrs. Dong walked in like water.
"Queen Mother!" Liu Hong was depressed and saw his mother coming, and suddenly lost the anger just now, like a child who had just lost his beloved toy and couldn't cry: "Wang Meiren, she is dead......
Empress Dowager Dong had already learned what was going on from the eunuchs, but she didn't mention the queen's matter, she just gently took the swaddling clothes from Liu Hong's arms, patted the crying baby and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, and you shouldn't be too uncomfortable, how can there be a reason for a big man to cry a woman?" What's more, you are the emperor, you must mourn and refrain from it! You and my mother and son are not at ease when this child is raised elsewhere, I think it is better for the mourning family to raise him personally. As she spoke, she squeezed the child's little hand and sighed slightly.
"I'm going to abolish the queen, what does the queen mother think?"
Empress Dowager Dong frowned: After all, it is not a good thing for the queen to be abolished again and again. Since she entered the palace as a concubine, there have been endless scandals in the palace, and if such a major incident occurs, the royal family is really swept away. Now that this hard-working little emperor grandson has been held in her arms, her future life is no longer boring with her grandson, and she is too lazy to worry about anything else, so she sighed: "Alas...... Your Majesty, you can make your own decisions about the things after the abolition, no matter what you do, the mourning family agrees. ”
"This ......" Liu Hong was at a loss when he heard his mother say this.
Zhang Rang heard that Empress Dowager Dong was unwilling to interfere, and his hanging heart finally fell more than half, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "The slave thinks that even if the queen is not in a thousand ways, you have to think twice about it when you think about it!" Wang Meiren is dead, the little prince has no mother, do you want the big prince to have no mother? This little child's taste of leaving his mother......" He stopped abruptly at this point, and only kowtowed again and again, "Please be merciful to Your Majesty!" ”
That's a great deal! Emperor Liu Hong himself lost his father at a young age and was unexpectedly welcomed into the palace to become the emperor. He was only twelve years old that year, and he had to leave his biological mother who depended on him and ran to the palace to call the Empress Dowager Dou his mother, and it was not until the pro-government that the Empress Dowager Dong was brought into the palace. Thinking that the two emperors would suffer the same in the future, he immediately relented.
Liu Hong didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so he only waved his hand: "Let the queen be, I won't kill her...... I won't kill anyone......" Then he wandered in a trance to Wang Meiren's corpse, silently guarding his lover.
Empress Dowager Dong also breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, take a look at her again, the mourning family will bring the emperor and grandson back to the palace first." ”
As soon as she came out of the inner hall to speak, she saw the eunuch Lu Qiang, who usually assists the emperor in handling government affairs, running over with joy holding two rolls of bamboo slips. At a glance, he knew that he must have been busy in the province, and he didn't know what was going on here.
"The slave greets the Queen Mother!" Lu Qiang gave a loud salute to the Queen Mother.
"Get up."
Lu Qiang slowly got up and asked sideways: "Queen Mother, is the emperor in the palace?" Slaves have something to do. ”
"No need!" Empress Dong said, "Wang Meiren died of a postpartum stroke, and the emperor is grieving. If there is anything you play with the mourning family, I will tell the emperor. ”
"No. The Empress Dowager, there is a good news today, Zhu Jun only broke tens of thousands of rebels with 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and the Jiaozhou rebellion has been quelled by him. ”
"What a Zhu Jun, the mourning family told the emperor, and he must be rewarded."
"Also," Lu Qiang said again, "Youzhou border county was plundered by Xianbei, and the history of Youzhou was vacant, and Situ Yuan Feng played Donghai Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an to preside over the overall situation of Youzhou. ”
"Liu Bo'an, when I was in Hejian, I had already heard that the sage of the clan, named Guanzhou County, knew the Five Classics. It's really a good candidate, right? Youzhou is in a hurry, so he is ready to go to work immediately. After speaking, she hugged the emperor and grandson, and left Lu Qiang, who looked ignorant, to go back to her Yongle Palace step by step.
