"A lot of people want me to die, and I can understand that, after all, I've offended so many people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "The Empress Dowager Shangguan leaned on the soft couch, she was no longer young, her face was not powdered, she looked a little sickly, but there was an indescribable charm.

Han Ruzi remembered what the imperial concubine had said, her sister would rather hand over the child to her sister to raise, but also maintain her appearance and figure, and concentrate on currying favor with Emperor Huan, there are some things that you will never forget once you learn them.

Han Ruzi turned sideways slightly, her eyes avoiding the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

This is his palace, but he can't come openly, except for the daily regular greetings, he has never entered the Cishun Palace, for many people, this is the rule, once broken, it will inevitably need a bunch of explanations.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan "happened" to be sick, the Empress Dowager Cining visited on the first day, the Empress Dowager waited for the concubines to see on the second day, and on the third day, the Emperor came in person.

The only outsiders present were Meng E, who was both the emperor's personal maid and the old person of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and would not be suspected.

"The Queen Mother thinks someone is falsely accusing you?"

Empress Dowager Shangguan smiled slightly, "I thought Your Majesty would be sympathetic to me." ”

Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the Empress Dowager Shangguan was talking about his tired experience, he had not offended anyone, but after the abdication, there were still people who wanted to kill him, or to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, or to curry favor with the new emperor.

"My greatest sin was losing power." The Empress Dowager Shangguan continued, her voice was weak, her health has not been very good recently, "Or rather, she has handed over power." ”

Han Ruzi couldn't help but sneer softly, the Empress Dowager Shangguan at that time didn't have much choice.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan also smiled, "Your Majesty is here to hear the truth?" ”

"Of course."

"Then let me tell you the first truth first: without my tolerance, Your Majesty would have turned into rotten bones a long time ago, and there would be no chance to be emperor again."

For a long time, the Empress Dowager Shangguan did have the power to put the tired Hou to death, she didn't even have to do it herself, just make a little hint, someone would take action on her behalf, Yang Feng was able to keep the tired Hou at that time, the most fundamental reason was that he was sure that the Queen Mother had no murderous intentions.

"I know." Han Ruzi did not deny it, and when he became emperor again, he was also open to the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

"But do you know why?"

Han Ruzi didn't answer, he only knew that the Empress Dowager Shangguan's tolerance must be related to her mother and Yang Feng, but he never asked for details.

"Yang Feng said some good things for His Majesty, but that was not the main reason, it was His Majesty's mother, Wang Meiren—sorry, Empress Dowager Cining—who said to me, 'The Queen Mother has great plans, if she succeeds, my son is not a threat, and if she fails, maybe only my son can protect the Queen Mother.'" She was right, and of course, she begged me so I didn't have to say those words. ”

Han Ruzi refused to involve her mother and asked, "What was the queen mother's plan at that time?" ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan adjusted her posture slightly, "Raise the little emperor, and then let a woman from the Shangguan family be the queen, who knows what will happen next?" Anyway, the Shangguan family will always hold the power, and as for how big it is, we can only talk about it then. It's a pity that I failed in the first step, and someone killed the little emperor. ”

The chubby little child appeared in Han Ruzi's mind again, he didn't admit that it was the emperor, and the Great Chu court didn't admit it, in the historian's pen, after Emperor Si was the current emperor.

"Three emperors died in succession, this is the bad luck of Da Chu, and it is also my bad luck, but I can't complain, because it all started with me."

Han Ruzi turned his head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Shangguan, he didn't speak, he came to hear the truth, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager Shangguan to really admit it.

"Emperor Huan was poisoned by me." The voice of the Empress Dowager Shangguan was still weak, but she was more ruthless and proud, obviously not regretting what she had done at all, "Emperor Huan wants to make the Cui family the queen and the king of the East China Sea the crown prince, and his plan is to win Cui Hong's trust and let Cui Hong hand over the military power." For this, we have to sacrifice our mother and son. ”

Emperor Huan's plan is exactly what Han Ruzi is doing right now, there is only one difference, he really likes Cui Xiaojun, not for a momentary plan.

"Maybe Emperor Huan will restore the status of the queen mother." Han Ruzi really has no feelings for his father, and his impression is very vague, he has only one relationship with his grandfather Emperor Wu, but the impression is even more profound.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan laughed softly twice, "That's impossible, when Emperor Huan holds power, he will recruit beauties, and there will be more sons, the position of the queen of the Cui family is still difficult to protect, how can Emperor Huan think of our mother and son?" The so-called new people are better than the old people, once they are left out in the cold, there will be no chance, and I must not let this kind of thing happen. ”

No one spoke in the room, the Empress Dowager Shangguan was immersed in memories, Han Ruzi didn't know how to ask, and Meng E stayed out of the matter and didn't say a word.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager Shangguan spoke again, "The poison provided by Yang Feng, he has a lot of ability, he can get anything, and he also got the medicine that the imperial concubine used to deal with pregnant women in the palace." When I let him out of the palace, I was very uneasy, and I kept sending people to keep an eye on him, as long as he was a little out of line, he couldn't stay any longer. Fortunately, he is very aware of current affairs, and no matter how critical the moment, he has never touched poison again. ”

"Yang Feng understands the Queen Mother's plan?" Han Ruzi asked, feeling a little regretful in his heart, because he had to find out the truth, which made Yang Feng's image change greatly.

"I never said it explicitly, but if he didn't guess, does Your Majesty believe it?"

With Yang Feng's cleverness, of course, he could understand the intention of the Queen Mother at a glance, and he provided poison, probably to allow Emperor Si to ascend the throne.

"Bad luck began, I thought that the use of poison began in my hands, and it can end in my hands, but I was wrong, and the next person to be poisoned was my own son. The imperial concubine thought it was my hand, but in fact it was Concubine Cui's conspiracy. When Emperor Huan was seriously ill, Concubine Cui once visited the palace and must have seen something, she was very smart and used the same means to deal with me. ”

"It is said that Concubine Cui denies this."

"Who else could it be?" The Empress Dowager Shangguan's tone suddenly became stern, "She has found an expert in using poison, and she has also bribed many people in the palace, everything is ready, will she retreat?" ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan has taken revenge and will never admit that she was mistaken.

Han Ruzi did not refute, but he still had doubts in his heart, he only knew one truth: his father Emperor Huan did die at the hands of the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

"All of a sudden, there were more poisons, and all of a sudden it seemed that everyone could use it, and everyone could use it. The third victim was the little emperor, and his killers wanted chaos in the world. The Empress Dowager Shangguan looked at Meng E.

Meng E was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that she would also become the target of the conversation, "It's not me." After a pause, "It's not my brother either." ”

"It's not your brother or sister, but it's about you. Someone from Yishi Island defected to Meng Che, and your brother took him in, and it was this person who poisoned the little emperor and created a predictable chaos, and your brother was also kept in the dark at that time. ”

Meng E was speechless, and finally understood why his brother suddenly left the capital to join the rebellion, and he had no other choice at that time.

Meng Che never told his sister about these things.

"The world is indeed in turmoil, but it is not the Island of Righteous Warriors who benefits." The Empress Dowager Shangguan seemed to find it very interesting, and a smile appeared on her face again, "After the little emperor showed signs of poisoning, I planned the prince's struggle for the throne, and at that time I didn't know who the poisoner was, thinking that it was another conspiracy of the Cui family, so I used this method to recall the promising descendants of the clan back to the capital." To be honest, the person I was optimistic about at the time was the champion Hou. But that's all in the past, and in the end it was Your Majesty who won. Yishi Island defeated me and the little emperor, but failed to defeat Da Chu, they believed in the crooked door ramp too much, and when it came to the real sword and real gun, they were defeated. ”

"These things that my brother said to the Queen Mother?" Meng E asked.

"Well, when he returns to Beijing again and wants to take you away, tell me the whole truth."

Han Ruzi was shocked, he didn't know about this, and couldn't help but wonder how many secrets Meng E was hiding.

"I forgave your brother, because there is no point in it, I have taken revenge, I lost everything, and killing Meng Che will not save anything."

"What do you mean by 'please stop the owl'?" Han Ruzi asked, compared to those truths, he still cared more about Yang Feng.

"Is Your Majesty sure that these four words were left by Yang Feng?"

Han Ruzi shook his head.

"On the surface, these four words have two meanings: 'Please put away the owl', the word "owl" is the payment, so this is Chun Yu Xiao's warning to Yang Feng or His Majesty, so that you don't track down the hopeful;

"Which one does the Queen Mother believe?"

The Empress Dowager Shangguan sat up, and the weakness in her voice disappeared, "The meaning is not important, the key is who stayed, if it was someone else, Yang Feng was killed, Your Majesty should be more careful, if it is Yang Feng, it is a trick, Your Majesty should also be careful, Yang Feng's bureau will never be guessed by outsiders." ”

Han Ruzi came for this, half a year has passed, and the dead Yang Feng is more difficult for him to get rid of than the living Yang Feng.

"Yang Feng has a wife, does the Queen Mother know?"

"Yes, maybe I'm the only one in the know, Yang Feng told me about his wife and children, first, in the hope that I could help them when necessary, and secondly, to gain my trust, from the first time he offered me those damn poisons, I guarded against him until he told me the most secret things."

"Where are they?"

"I swore a poisonous oath to Yang Feng that I would never leak secrets."

"I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to know what kind of person Yang Feng is."

"Please forgive Your Majesty, an oath is an oath, although I have nothing, I still can't break it, at least not now, please wait a little longer. If Yang Feng planned his own death, with his nature, he must have left a clue, but it would not be his family, and His Majesty may not have noticed it. ”

Han Ruzi wanted to threaten a few words, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind, "These are the so-called truths of the Queen Mother?" There doesn't seem to be anything new. ”

What the Empress Dowager Shangguan said, even if Han Ruzi didn't know the details, he could guess the approximate situation.

"The truth hasn't been told yet." The Empress Dowager Shangguan became serious, "Someone accused me of His Majesty, right?" I can guess who it is, and I can even guess who the person behind it is. Please understand one thing: everything that happens around Your Majesty is not simple, everything is a struggle for power, does Your Majesty think everything is going well this year? That's a delusion, Your Majesty is losing the most important power, that's the truth. ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan wanted to launch a counterattack, and the means were the same as Jing Yao's, which was to win the emperor's trust first. (To be continued.) )
