When they arrived at Hangu Pass, it was not far from the capital, the emperor finally returned safely, and the entourage was all relieved, but the king of the East China Sea became more and more uneasy, and after nightfall, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Princess Tan finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and pinched a piece of meat on the waist side of the King of the East China Sea, gently forced, and asked coldly, "What are you tossing?" ”

"Oh, let go, you know ......" The king of the East China Sea was itchy and painful, it was his "life", others didn't dare to touch it, but Tan Shi came as soon as he stretched out, without any pity.

After waiting for a while, the Tan family let go of his hand, and the king of the East China Sea held back his smile and his face turned red, but fortunately, this was the night, and he let out a long breath, "I am a prince, and I am your husband......"

Tan's hand stretched out again, and the King of the East China Sea hurriedly changed his words, "It's also your little follower, this time, right?" ”

"I ask you, what do you toss and turn in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Tan is not easy to fool the past.

"I'm thinking about your Tan family."

"Hey, is there still the Tan family?" The Tan family turned around and turned his back to the king of the East China Sea, the Tan family in the capital has now become the Tan family of the East China Sea, and she is the only one who can return to Beijing, and since accepting the help of the ugly king of Luoyang, the status of the rivers and lakes has plummeted.

"The ups and downs of life are like this, and a smart person like you can't even see through this?"

"I don't want to be a monk, why do you want to see it so thoroughly?" Tan said angrily.

The king of the East China Sea turned his wife around and asked seriously, "Do you Tan family have a grudge against the Deng family in Jincheng?" ”

He hid this sentence for several days, but he really couldn't find any clues, so he could only ask Tan.

"The Deng family? The new cavalry general Deng Cui? ”

"Yes, but he is not a general now, he has been dismissed by His Majesty, and he is waiting to go to the Western Regions to build a city, and he will not come back for ten or eight years."

The Tan family is not interested in these things, "The Tan family used to be in the capital, and the Deng family was in Jincheng, one was a citizen and the other was an official, and they never came and went, where did the grudge come from?" ”

"This is strange, since there is no grudge against the Tan family, why does Deng Cui always keep an eye on the affairs of the champion Hou? also openly threatened to take revenge, who to seek revenge? Certainly not Your Majesty'......"

Tan Shi was immediately alert, "It's been a few days since I came back, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"I'd like to find out why."

"Isn't Deng Cui going to be sent to the Western Regions for several years before he can come back? What are you afraid of him? ”

"This guy ...... is not an ordinary person, when he ambushed the Huns outside the Saiwai, he let Cui Zhao go, indicating that he was not targeting the Cui family, so the Tan family and I were left. I probed His Majesty, Deng Cui will definitely be sent to the Western Regions, but in order to reassure him, one of Deng Cui's sisters will be able to enter the palace nine times out of ten, which is not a small trouble. ”

"Didn't Your Majesty say that there will be no more drafts in three years?"

"The daughter of the Deng family will enter the palace directly, and there is no need for a draft."

Tan Shi was silent for a while, "Don't worry about it, I'll inquire tomorrow." ”

The King of the East China Sea was startled, regretting his many mouths and tongues, "Don't, we are living in the middle of the gap now, anyone who looks at it more may be told by His Majesty, do you know how hard I worked to gain His Majesty's trust?" ”

"Doesn't Deng Cui have a sister? Since it is going to be sent to the palace, it must also be in the team, and it is easy for women to inquire about the news. ”

"But you are the Tan family, in case the Deng family ......"

Tan turned around.

The King of the East China Sea was helpless, sighed softly, lay quietly for a while, and said, "Why is there no one around me who can be sent to the palace?" ”

Tan turned around and kicked her husband, almost kicking him under the bed, "What, what else are you going to ask me to do?" ”

The King of the East Sea inadvertently muttered to himself, and hurriedly defended, "How is it possible? I'm not the Cui family, I mean...... There are Empress Dowager Shangguan, Wang Meiren, Queen Cui in the palace, and a daughter of the Deng family, but there is a good show. ”

"You want to see it so much, why don't you become an emperor?"

The King of the East China Sea immediately stretched out his hand to cover Tan's mouth and whispered, "You are crazy, you dare to say such things?" Beware of walls with ears. ”

Tan got rid of her husband's hand, "I want to do things but I don't have the guts, phew." I ask you, why are you so interested in the things in the palace? ”

Even for his wife, the king of the East China Sea didn't say anything about wanting to avenge his mother, and said with a smile: "Isn't it for us, for the Tan family?" His Majesty has not been in power for a long time, he is in the prime of life, he will bow down to everything, it is estimated that he will not slack off for a long time, and he sees that he is a martial emperor, with such a Majesty, it is almost impossible for foreign ministers to take power. But His Majesty is also a human being, and he is kind-hearted, and he often has an unbearable heart, and it is difficult to suppress the battle in the harem, you look at it, at least a few months, at most three or five years, and those who can win in the harem will be in power. ”

"Does Wang Meiren have a family?"

"Hey, there are still many people in the rich family, let alone the Empress Dowager of Da Chu? And Wang Meiren may not be the ultimate winner, she has endured for too long, and she is a little unbreathable when she gains momentum, and she lacks the style of a general. ”

"Where's your queen cousin?"

The king of the East China Sea had already thought about it for a long time, and he came when he opened his mouth, "My cousin is gentle by nature, rarely fights with others, and even takes the initiative to give up the things in her hand to the other party, just to calm things down." But she was born in the Cui family, she has been pampered since she was a child, she is extremely proud of her bones, the so-called indisputability is disdain, once she touches the bottom line, she will definitely surprise her opponents. ”

Tan had seen the queen and fled with her in the palace, and after thinking for a while, he felt that his husband was right, and asked, "What about Deng Cui's sister?" Will they participate in the struggle for power? ”

"I haven't seen her, but as long as she is three points similar to her brother Deng Cui, then she will inevitably fight, I just don't understand, the Deng family has been in decline for a long time, why is it fighting for power?"

"I'll find out." Tan said, turning around again.

The king of the East China Sea said to the head, "Why don't you ask the Queen Mother and Concubine Jin?" ”

"The Queen Mother retired, and the Hun women stayed outside the Saiwai, what is there to ask?"

"Not necessarily, one eliminates the other, now Wang Meiren is not doing much, the people who tend to be inflammatory, and when she becomes the queen mother, who cares about the queen mother? Remember, the Empress Dowager Shangguan is not an ordinary person, she is angry, but she wants to kill. ”

The first thing that Tan thought of was not his mother-in-law, Concubine Cui, but the sister of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and the legendary Emperor Huan who died at the hands of the Empress Dowager, "Well, that is indeed a terrible person." ”

"Jin Guifei said that she would not return to the capital, but she left her second brother Jin Chunzhong by His Majesty's side, and there was the entire Hun behind her as a backer, she could attack and retreat, and she could defend it.

"Your Majesty likes her very much, doesn't he?"

The king of the East China Sea didn't particularly care about this, "Who ...... such a famous beauty?"

Tan's hand pinched his waist again, and the King of the East China Sea immediately begged for mercy: "Don't ...... You asked me. Your Majesty is not the kind of person who is greedy for beauty, I listened to Your Majesty's intentions and agreed that there were many reasons why Concubine Jin stayed outside the Saiwai, one of which was that she was worried that she would fall into the gentle country and could not extricate herself. ”

Tan snorted and sighed again, "What a beautiful concubine, such a decisive emperor." ”

"So you know, there are no fuel-efficient lamps in the harem, this big war...... It's a pity that we can't see it, let alone participate in it, and when the water comes out, we won't get any benefits. ”

Tan has always felt that her husband is not stoic enough to achieve great things, and after listening to him tonight, she found that her husband actually has other advantages, not useless, "Sleep steadily, I won't let you worry about these things alone." ”

Tan was lying on his side, his hand on his husband's chest, and the king of the East China Sea held his wife's hand, no longer tossing and turning, and slowly fell asleep.

After entering the customs, the ministers of the capital came to pick up the car in batches, and the chapter sent to the emperor was no longer a copy approved by Yang Feng and others, but the original, which needed to be reviewed by the emperor himself, which was also a manifestation of returning to power.

The emperor suddenly became busy, often stopping to discuss the government with his ministers, and the closer he got to the capital, the slower the procession became, only a few dozen miles a day.

The king of the East China Sea still did not have an official position, and he did not seek official positions, preferring to stay with the emperor in a vague capacity, as a staff officer and adviser, so he also got busy.

After five full days, the capital was close at hand, and the king of the East China Sea was a little more idle, and the Tan family also inquired about the news he wanted.

Deng Cui's sister went directly to Luoyang before, and then joined her brother and entered Beijing together.

Sure enough, women talk well to each other, Tan tried a few times, and soon met with Deng Mei, chatted and became sisters.

"You will never guess what the Deng family thinks." In bed, Tan said she didn't feel safe to talk until the lights went out.

"That's why I'm wondering, if you want to talk about greed for power, the Deng family didn't come to the capital to assist the champion Hou before, if you want to talk about revenge, when Cui Zhao just went to Jincheng to send his son, the Deng family was obviously very enthusiastic, and then I heard that the son of the champion Hou ......"

"That's the problem."

"What's the matter, doesn't the Deng family suspect that he was transferred in the palace?"

"The general Deng Liao fought a lot of victories and killed a lot of people when he was Emperor Wu, and it is said that he injured Yin Qi because of this, and he died young, not to mention, the Deng family has only given birth to daughters and not sons since then."

"So what?"

"So the Deng family wants to adopt the son of the champion Hou and use the dragon son and grandson to drive away the bad luck, if the son of the champion Hou is fake, it will naturally be invalid."

"This ...... This is also ridiculous, I see Deng Cui as a character, and His Majesty also has expectations for him, unexpectedly...... ......"

"If you don't believe it, forget it, don't laugh at others." Tan Shi Zhengse said, she believes in this kind of thing.

The King of the East China Sea let out a sigh, "Then I'll rest assured, it seems that the Deng family is not a threat." ”

"Not necessarily, as you said, Deng Cui's sister is not an ordinary woman, if she can enter the palace, there will be a fight."

"It's a pity that we can only watch, no, we don't even have the qualifications to watch, we can only wait to hear the news."

"I've thought about it, we should support the queen."

"Cousin Jun?"

"Well, the queen is on the defensive for the time being, and has been retreating, sooner or later there will be a counterattack, after returning to Beijing, I will find a way to contact the queen, you don't have to participate, in case of trouble, it has nothing to do with you."

"This ...... Not okay? ”

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to say more." Tan Shi paused, "Wang Meiren has already started to do it, you must be careful, Wang Meiren doesn't like you, and even is very jealous of you." ”

Of course, the king of the East China Sea understood this truth, "What did Wang Meiren do?" Who do you listen to? ”

"Have you noticed that after passing the Hangu Pass, the team is moving slower and slower day by day?"

"Of course, this is because His Majesty often has to consult with the ministers about the affairs of the court, and there are many receptions on the road, one after another."

"Anyway, Wang Meiren has made full use of these few days, His Majesty announced in Luoyang that he will not be drafted for three years, Wang Meiren has taken advantage of the fact that His Majesty has not returned to Beijing, and has already brought a group of show girls into the palace, can Your Majesty send them out again?"

The king of the East China Sea was taken aback, "In order to squeeze out the queen, Wang Meiren really does everything." ”

"Will you tell Your Majesty?"

The King of the East Sea thought for a while, "No, I must not do such a thing as dividing the relationship between His Majesty's mother and son, and if Cousin Xiaojun is not bullied more ruthlessly, how can you gain her trust and favor?" ”

Tan snorted coldly, but hugged her husband tighter. (To be continued.) )
