Chapter 14: Ambition for the Elderly

The era of Emperor Cheng was a critical period for Wang Mang to enter the power center of the Han Dynasty. Chun Yuchang and Wang Mang became the main opponents. The rest of the story basically revolves around Wang Mang and his game.

The news of Zhao Feiyan's pregnancy soon reached Queen Xu.

Her sister Xu Xiao was so frightened that she had no master. She said to Empress Xu: "If this continues, Your Majesty will make Zhao Feiyan the queen." Let's take countermeasures. ”

The curtains in the dormitory were blown up by the cold wind, and Queen Xu looked out the window helplessly. The bright moonlight shone on her face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She smiled bitterly at Xu Xiao and said, "Sister, what can be done then?" Your Majesty didn't like this palace in the first place. The main shrine is an ornament. Since the last lunar eclipse, His Majesty has never pampered the palace. ”

"Sister, you can't give up on yourself. We have to take countermeasures to make Zhao Feiyan's child not exist. Xu Xiao said with a smile.

"Isn't that right? Although Zhao Feiyan has won the favor. But we can't hurt her. "Queen Xu is embarrassed.

"In this world of great contention, not fighting is a dead end." Xu Xiao said sadly.

At the same time, Zhao Feiyan said to Emperor Cheng: "Your Majesty, the concubine's sister's dancing skills are better than those of the concubine. I hope she can enter the palace to serve His Majesty. ”

"Yes, I promise you. If she enters the palace, I will also make her Jieyu. Emperor Cheng said with a smile.

Zhao Feiyan held her bulging abdomen and said, "I don't know, am I pregnant with a prince or a princess?" "I promise you, if it's a prince. I became the crown prince. Emperor Cheng said with a smile.

"Isn't there still a queen? Your Majesty. Zhao Feiyan said worriedly.

"Feiyan, you are wrong, the Imperial Doctor has already told me. Empress Xu claimed that she was no longer able to have children after the last incident. Therefore, she could not give birth to a prince. Emperor Cheng's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness.

"Really?" Zhao Feiyan couldn't believe it.

Chun Yuchang's side, Xu Xiao went to the mansion to have a private meeting with him again.

"Pure to your lordship." Xu Xiao said angrily.

Her voice makes people feel ecstatic to listen to. Chun Yuchang's eyes were a little impatient. He said, "Mrs. Han, what's the matter?" Go ahead. ”

"There's one thing I want you to help me with." Xu Xiao hugged Chun Yuchang.

"Inside, right? Mrs. Han. Chun Yu said with a long smile.

The two went into the bedroom together.

Xu Xiao got dressed and said to Chun Yuchang on the side: "Chun Yu Lord." I hope you can help my sister. ”

Chun Yu Changgang fastened his belt and said, "Empress Xu? ”

"yes. Zhao Feiyan is now pregnant with the dragon seed. His Majesty took her sister as a concubine. If this continues, the harem will be the world of the Zhao sisters. Where is there still the position of Empress Xu. Xu Xiao said worriedly.

"So, Mrs. Han did not hesitate to commit herself to me?" Chun Yu Chang said with a smile.

"Nasty." Xu Xiao suddenly felt a disgusting smell rushing to his face.

After Xu Xiao left, Chun Yuchang said to the housekeeper: "Hurry up and deal with the eunuchs in the palace and closely monitor the movements of Zhao Jieyu's bedroom." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper should be kind.

Uncle Wang Feng was also very anxious and asked me: "Mang'er, how can we avoid the Zhao family sisters' power being too great?" "Uncle, since they use their beauty to charm the saint, we can too." I laughed.

"You mean to let the girl of our Wang family enter the palace?" Wang Feng said with a smile.

"Of course, don't I have a cousin who is the same age as His Majesty? Let her enter the palace, will our Wang family be able to retain power soon? Wang Mang said with a smile.

In this way, the person selected by the concubine that year was the girl of the Wang family.

After Emperor Cheng found out, he was angry at the eunuch and said: "This girl from the Wang family, I have seen the family history file, and it is obviously the royal family of Hanoi in Wei County, that is, the clansman of my mother. The officials who chose the concubine were obviously playing favoritism. ”

"The little ones don't know either. That's the result. However, Your Majesty should see you. The eunuch wept.

After the girl of the Wang family came in, she was radiant and had a good face.

Emperor Cheng immediately turned his anger into joy and said, "Oh, it's okay, I will make you a beauty." Wang Meiren thanked and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Wang Mang would not have thought at that time that his cousin Wang Meiren would give birth to Emperor Cheng's only son in the future. Her son will also go to the people and become a fortune teller in Hebei, Wang Chang, and others call him Wang Lang. Actually, Wang Mang could have killed him, but Wang Mang didn't do it. Because he is also Wang Mang's nephew.

Besides, Chun Yuchang, he heard that his cousin was a beauty, and said to the housekeeper: "It seems that we can't help the Xu family." Now, I am from the Wang family. Helping the Xu family is not good for us. ”

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper said perfunctorily.

In fact, Wang Mang didn't know at the time that Zhao Feiyan's child was fake. It wasn't until I became the emperor of the new dynasty that I learned from the white-haired old woman in the harem that Zhao Feiyan once wanted to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix and hide from the world.

After Zhao Feiyan's sister Zhao Hede entered the palace, Emperor Cheng never went to Zhao Feiyan's palace again.

Zhao Feiyan's due date is approaching, and she entrusts her maid Xiaohuang to buy a boy from the people.

The maid walked to a house.

The house was already in dilapidation all around. The pots on the stove are rusty. A woman hugged a sleeping boy and said to Xiao Huang sadly: "The child's father fell to his death last year. There are two children in the family, and there is really no money. can only sell the second child. ”

"No problem, it's gold. My wife likes children the most, but she has never been able to conceive, so she made this decision. This child will definitely be able to inherit our Liu family's family business in the future. Xiao Huang explained.

"That would be great. I've kowtowed to you. The woman could not help but weep.

All this was seen by the python spirit.

The python spirit said to me: "Wang Mang, if this child inherits the throne of the Great Han. Are you willing? ”

"I'm not reconciled. I am His Majesty's cousin, and I am more qualified to inherit the Han dynasty than this child of unknown origin. Wang Mang said indignantly.

"Yes, the Han Dynasty was a patriarchal society. Actually, if according to the traditions of many countries. According to the rules of matriarchal society, you can also be emperor. The python spirit bewitched.

At that moment, Wang Mang had the ambition to usurp the throne.

In fact, Wang Mang found out later. The python spirit is using me.

On the way to the palace, Xiao Huang stayed in an inn.

That day, Wang Mang took advantage of her sleep and sent someone to put chronic poison in the child's swaddling clothes.

The next day, Xiao Huang reported the child to Zhao Jieyu.

"Ah。。。。。。h only heard Zhao Jieyu scream.

"How did the child die?" Xiao Huang cried.

"The child's face was dark, which was clearly a sign of poisoning." Zhao Jieyu said in horror.

"I'm not going to be deceived, am I?" Xiao Huang said sadly.

Afterwards, Xiao Huang found the house and found that the building had already been empty.

In fact, I sent someone to kill their whole family beforehand.

The news of Zhao Feiyan's miscarriage reached Queen Xu. Xu Xiao thought it was Chun Yuchang's credit, and said to Queen Xu: "Look, sister, Chun Yuchang is really capable." ”

"Sister, I've heard that you actually had a bad relationship with Chun Yuchang. Why are you so indecent? Empress Xu said angrily.

"Yes and what? Chun Yu Chang is handsome and chic. I was a widow for a long time. Back then, Emperor Xiaowu's sister Princess Pingyang married three times. I'm nothing but your sister. Why should a noble lady like me be widowed? Isn't that stupid? Xu Xiao said disappreciatively.

"Sister, you really should take a look at Mr. Liu Xiang's recent "The Legend of the Martyr". Queen Xu said helplessly.

"What's so nice about that?" Xu Xiao stuck out his tongue and laughed.

At the same time, Chun Yuchang heard that Zhao Feiyan had a miscarriage, and said to the housekeeper: "It seems that the people of our Wang family are really not covered. In the future, I will rely on the big tree of the Wang family. It's cool under the big tree. ”

What kind of crazy thing will Chun Yuchang do? How will the Wang family, the Zhao family, the Xu family and other relatives behave in the next round of the game?
