Chapter 112: The Emperor's Little Troubles
Had a nice chat with the old lady. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter a mahjong game, although Yan Ming lost a lot of money, he didn't get the old lady's reward this time. The power to build a hot spring hall and the support point of Hongyantang's medicine have been solved here. More than how much reward money is given to him.
It was not early, Yan Ming and the Empress Dowager Dou resigned and prepared to return to Tian's house in Dongshi. He knew that Tian Xi must be looking forward to it now. Although the two of them have not had too close contact, for some reason, that feeling is irreplaceable.
Just as Yan Ming was about to leave, Liu Che also came to the main hall again to say goodbye to the old Empress Dowager Dou.
The old lady saw Liu Che's somewhat gloomy eyes, and seemed to understand something, and originally wanted to ask him why he didn't stay here with Gillian, but she also held back.
Although the Empress Dowager Dou is domineering on the issue of imperial power, she does not ask too much about the affairs of the emperor's harem. The affairs of the harem are inherently complex and changeable.
The old empress dowager Dou has gone through three dynasties of emperors, and she herself has fought out of various scheming concubines in the harem, and nothing can escape from his eyes in this harem.
When Liu Concubine had to give Chen Ajiao to Liu Che as the queen, the Empress Dowager Dou took the opportunity to talk to Liu Concubine about herself and told him what Empress Bo did during the Jingdi period.
In order to make the Bo family powerful, Empress Dowager Bo insisted on marrying the daughter of the Bo family to Emperor Jing Liu Qi as the queen. But the result? Liu Qi just didn't touch a finger of this thin queen. made a queen unexpectedly unable to give birth to children. In the end, he embarked on the road of being abolished.
The Empress Dowager Dou has already understood many things. So she never had the idea of letting the Dou family stay rich forever. I never thought that the woman of the Dou family would enter the palace again to be a queen. Even his nephew Dou Ying made a mistake, and the Empress Dowager Dou directly expelled Dou Ying from the Dou family without mercy.
This is the cleverness of the Empress Dowager Dou, perhaps the Empress Dowager Dou is too wise, but it makes Liu Concubine confused. In order to make his daughter the queen, he wanted to tie up with the mother of the crown prince Liu Rong, Li Ji.
It's a pity that Li Ji is a fool, but Wang Wan is thoughtful. The two joined forces to ruin the future of Li Ji and the crown prince Liu Rong, and Liu Che successfully ascended the throne as emperor.
But Liu Che is not an ungrateful person, he still has feelings for Gillian.
It's just that Gillian's stomach is not angry. An emperor, the most taboo is no queen.
No matter how Liu Che tosses on Gillian's stomach, Gillian's uncompetitive stomach just doesn't react.
As an emperor, there are many beautiful women around him. In addition, Gillian's stomach is not angry, but her face is very angry. often said that without the efforts of her Chen Ajiao's mother and daughter, Liu Che would not be able to be the emperor at all.
When these words reached Liu Che's ears, they were not so tasteful.
In ordinary people's homes, it's not a taste for the husband and wife to talk, maybe it's over after a while. But if the emperor doesn't have a good taste in his heart, he will go home and destroy his family. In the worst case, the blood flow is drifting.
Chen Ajiao doesn't understand this truth, and Liu Concubine doesn't understand this truth either. So the relationship between the emperor and the two is getting stiffer and stiffer.
Today was originally an opportunity to repair, but Gillian first looked down on Yan Ming, and Liu Che was a little unhappy in his heart.
Originally, the two of them arrived in the harem, and if they took the opportunity to make a while, they might be able to save a little affection. Who knew that the words were in a hurry, and Gillian talked about her mother and daughter helping Liu Che ascend the throne as the emperor. also said that such a big credit is not as important as a county marquis.
Liu Che suddenly felt bored, patiently said a few words to Gillian, and left the harem with an excuse. Only Gillian was left in the back to wash her face with tears, but she didn't know what she was wrong!
Seeing Liu Che's gloomy eyes, Yan Ming wanted to retire with interest.
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Yanhou, you wait for me for a while." Let's get out of the palace together. ”
After the two of them said goodbye to the Empress Dowager Dou, they left Changle Palace together.
Walking outside the Changle Palace, Liu Che raised his head exaggeratedly, exhaled fiercely, and took another breath, and then said: "It's much refreshing!" ”
Yan Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of imperial palace matter. If you don't get it right, you'll be crushed.
"How's your business?" Liu Che asked.
Yan Ming nodded and said, "The hot spring is fine." The old queen mother said that if she had a chance in the future, she would go to the hot spring palace to live for a while. At that time, Your Majesty will be burdened by the government! ”
"You will please the Queen Mother, and you will not think about me." When Liu Che said this, he didn't know if he was empty in his heart. However, Yan Ming looked at his face and felt that he must not have a weak heart.
"Hurry up and go to the East Market, I'm afraid that my heart will have already flown to the East Market, right?" Liu Che said with a smile.
Yan Ming also smiled and said, "The minister is not in a hurry. If Your Majesty needs it, the minister can accompany His Majesty for a drink. ”
"Forget it, I really planned to have a drink. But I'm not that interested today! Liu Che waved his hand and let the waiter help him get into the car.
Yan Ming stood beside the car and sent Liu Che's frame towards the Weiyang Palace in the west, and he was flattened.
"Yanhou, please get in the car." The attendant reminded him in a whisper.
Yan Ming looked back and said with a smile: "I won't take the car anymore, just walk by myself." It's hard work. As he spoke, he took out a handful of coins, and without looking at much, he handed them directly to the chamberlain.
The waiter looked at the money, his eyes immediately smiled and said like a gap, the courtesy just now was slightly reduced, and his attitude was a little more close, and he said: "I have long heard that although Yanhou is young, he is refreshing, and he has no matter whether he is noble or low. Today, the rumors are true. ”
Yan Ming listened to these words, which were obviously a slap in the horse, but just smiled and expressed his gratitude to the waiter.
"The last time Yan Hou met an assassin on the streets of Chang'an, the little one had also heard about it. Today, Yan Hou will definitely go by himself, but something is wrong. In this way, Yan Hou and so on, the small one went to find a team of sergeants patrolling the city and escorted Yan Hou for a ride. The chamberlain said that he was leaving.
Yan Ming was just about to stop him, and a few sergeants wearing cowhide armor suddenly walked over on the opposite street, led by none other than Gongsun Ao, and beside Gongsun Ao, a person wearing ordinary clothes and an elegant atmosphere on his face was Wei Qing.
Seeing these two people, where does Yan Ming need someone else's protection. He pulled the chamberlain and said with a smile: "Don't worry about you." General Gongsun Ao over there is my old acquaintance. I begged him to give me a ride. ”
The chamberlain also saw Gongsun Ao. Gongsun Ao is now the captain of the guard beside the emperor, although the official is not big, but he is famous in Chang'an City. There was not one among the chamberlains who did not know him.
"Hello General Gongsun!" The chamberlain greeted him.
Gongsun Ao greeted him, ignored the waiter, directly took Yan Ming's hand, and said with a smile: "Third brother, I have heard that you have come to Chang'an a long time ago, and it just so happens that the second brother is also here today." I called him to wait for you outside the Weiyang Palace. But wait and wait, saying that you came to Changle Palace again. Aren't we just looking for it? ”
Wei Qing stood on the side, with a smile on his face, and said, "Big brother, although we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, they are not busy. Today, I let the third brother go back. Tomorrow he can get it, let's not get drunk and not go home. ”
After speaking, Wei Qing squeezed his eyes exaggeratedly.
Gongsun Ao suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "How can being an elder brother spoil the good deeds of his younger brother, let's accompany the third brother to the East Market, and then go back to their respective homes." ”
The chamberlain who was in charge of sending Yan Ming saw that the three of them were so familiar, especially Gongsun Ao, who usually didn't smile at ordinary ministers, was so polite to Yan Ming, and couldn't help but look up to Yan Ming even more. Even he, an inner servant who has been in the center of power for a long time, is also a little unable to see through Yan Ming.
When the brothers saw it, they naturally couldn't stand on the street to greet each other. Yan Ming has long known that the two-story building opposite the East Market has been almost renovated, and it can be opened for business as long as it is selected for business. I happened to meet two brothers today, so it was better to cook in the prepared restaurant and entertain the two brothers.
