Changqiu Palace, where the Empress of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived, He Lian gave birth to the prince Liu Wei for the Emperor Ling, and finally ascended the throne of the queen by virtue of her mother and son, because Wang Mei gave birth to the prince Liu Xie, she was furious, and actually poisoned Wang Meiren, who had not been giving birth for a long time, for which Emperor Ling almost abolished her, not many eunuchs interceded for her, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape. Now His Majesty has lost his favor for him, and he lives in the Naked Tour Hall every day. Looking at the withered yellow leaves, thinking of the most beautiful time in a woman's life, to be dedicated to the cold palace, her heart was cold, and now she has nothing to do except think about how to make her son Liu Wei ascend the throne as the Yellow Emperor safely.

A palace maid hurriedly came to her side and said, "Queen Mother, Uncle Guo asks to see her." ”

Looking at He Lian, who was falling leaves, she felt strange, and said to herself: Isn't He Jin supposed to be in the mansion now, attracting those meritorious soldiers? How do you have time to come to me? said: "Pass ······." ”

The palace maid took He in to He Lian's side, and He Jin bowed and said, "See the queen mother." ”

"Flat ······." He Lian turned her back to He Jin and said, "My brother is not in the mansion for a banquet today, how can he have time to come to me?" ”

It was not a day or two for He Jin to win over the family, and when the court meeting ended today, everyone could think that he would have a banquet for meritorious soldiers.

He Jin hesitated and said: "Niangniang······ in fact, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Seeing He Jinzhiwu's appearance, He Lian said to the palace maids on both sides, "You guys retreat first." ”

After the palace maid retreated, He Lian said, "Brother, please tell me something." ”

He Jin took a step forward and said directly: "Niangniang, today I know who is the person with the richest reward in the court?" ”

He Lian frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I heard that it is a person named Li Zhen. ”

He Jin said: "Niangniang knows the origin of this person." ”

He Lian remembered that a few years ago, the popular poems in the palace seemed to be a person named Li Zhen, because of his talent, he was specially called by His Majesty as an official, could they be the same person, and said with a smile: "I heard that there was a talented man in the north a few years ago, because he was talented, he was specially called by His Majesty as an official, is it possible that he is the most generous reward today." ”

He Jin looked at He Lian and smiled, his heart was shocked, with this charming face, he should have been deeply favored by the Spirit Emperor, but he was too jealous, and the poisoning of Wang Meiren a few years ago caused the Spirit Emperor to snub and dislike it, otherwise he would not have taken away the soul of the Spirit Emperor. He Jin fixed his mind, bowed his head and said: "Niangniang is this person, with a few years, he has become a great minister and a general, and there are many people behind him to support, if we can win this person over, it can be said that the power in the DPRK has increased greatly, who will dare to be our enemy in the future." ”

He Lian was shocked in her heart, she has been a great minister in a few years, it seems that this person is not simple! said: "Do you know who is behind this person? Can you get it over? "Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun ······." He Jin said that all the famous ministers and generals in the DPRK and China.

He Lian was taken aback by the energy behind Li Zhen, so many Wenchen generals supported one person, it seemed that he thought of him too simply, and said: "Since my brother came to me, I thought of a good way to win over this person." “

He Jin told Cao Cao the method he had taught him.

He Lian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since that's the case, for the sake of arguing, I'll try it myself, and my brother will also have a snack on this person." “

He Jin said happily: "No." “

The Imperial Garden, a place for His Majesty's nobles in the palace to enjoy the flowers, today the Emperor Ling's feast and ministers are in the Imperial Garden. The imperial garden in autumn is not like spring and summer, a hundred flowers bloom, colorful and gorgeous, but it is still a unique scenery in autumn.

When Li Zhen walked in, hundreds of dignitaries were talking, and when they saw him walk in, they all quieted down and looked at him from afar. Li Zhenyao bowed from afar, and said hello to everyone who knew or not, if you want to have a good relationship in front of people, you have to be polite.

Hundreds of dignitaries and nobles did not dare to hold up, and they said hello to this upstart with a smile, and their voices fluctuated, making Li Zhen feel hypocritical, no wonder later generations said that the official word has two mouths, one in front of the face, one behind the back, he didn't think that he was one of them today.

Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others, who were good friends with Cai Yong, also came over, Yang Biao said to Li Zhen with a smile: "I looked at you back then, who would have thought that in just a few years, you would have such achievements, or the Cai family girl has a vision!" Occupy the fame first, otherwise I think this Luoyang dignitaries will break your threshold. ”

"Hehe, I see that you are envious." Ma Riyan said.

After chatting for a few words, they all found their seats and sat down.

The court banquet is strictly hierarchical, and the court will give the seats before coming, and you can't sit randomly.

Li Zhen found his seat, and saw that it was the fourth place on the right, this banquet was a celebration banquet, Li Zhen's merits can be described as a great achievement, ranking third in the army, and the first three seats were He Jin, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, compared with these people, Li Zhen's qualifications and military titles are incomparable. Sitting below are Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other generals with military exploits.

Yuan Shao looked at Li Zhen and nodded with a smile, and gestured to the person He Jin wanted to woo. Li Zhen didn't know Yuan Shao yet, but when he saw this handsome and mighty man smiling at him, he also had a good impression of him, and he smiled politely.

"Your Majesty, the two princes of the queen mother have arrived." Zhang Rang walked to the door and shouted loudly.

Thousands of people in the Imperial Garden, facing the north, knelt on the ground, pouted their buttocks, and prostrated and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Niang Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. Prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose ······. ”

The shouts spread throughout the imperial garden, the Emperor Ling walked through the center of the crowd, Queen He was dressed in a phoenix crown, raised her head and followed behind the Emperor Ling, graceful figure, noble like a peacock. The two princes behind him were carefully pulled in the palms of their hands by the palace maid and walked slowly.

After Emperor Ling He and Empress He sat down, the ministers slowly sat back.

Li Zhen sat back in his position, and inadvertently remembered that this Empress He was a rare beauty with extraordinary appearance in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and couldn't help but want to peek at her true face. Li Zhen looked at Queen He with a faint light, and stunned him at a glance, charming and beautiful, just to describe her. Li Zhen dared to guarantee that he had never thought that his heart had beaten so fast today, he could say that he had seen many beauties in the Eastern Han Dynasty, like Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Gan Mei, these are rare beauties, they are now like green apples, beautiful but lacking charm, and this one is like a ripe peach, a smile, every move, is in the soul, this is the most beautiful scenery in the imperial garden.
