The imperial palace of Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Han Empire, Liu Hong sat alone in the maple garden in the palace, the sun sowed mottled light and shadow through the maple trees, Liu Hong, who had experienced the blood moon in the imperial capital and all kinds of bad omen, became more and more happy and quiet, he also regretted and wanted to struggle, but in the end they were all shattered, some things were forgotten when they thought about it, and some dreams were made to wake up. Later, he also heard a lot of things outside the palace from Wang Meiren, which confirmed his thoughts even more. Wang Meiren's maiden name is Wang Rong, from Handan in the north of the empire, her grandfather is Wang Bao, a general with five facial features, Wang Rong is beautiful, smart and talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Liu Hong fell in love with this woman at first sight, but he didn't know his love, but Wang Meiren fell into a state of no return.

The past is like smoke, and the past cannot be traced

It was the autumn of the imperial capital, just like today, the maple leaves in the palace were red, fluttering and falling was not beautiful, that day Wang Meiren swallowed and said to him a dream, saying that in the dream she carried the sun forward, she didn't know what it meant, he told her, the sun ninety-five supreme, high up, is auspicious, Wang Meiren listened to it and left happily, but I don't want this parting is life and death two separated!

Liu Hong rarely asked about the affairs of the harem, so that he didn't know when He Hua colluded with the ten permanent servants, and the palace maid next to Wang Meiren ran to him in a panic that day and said that Wang Meiren died in childbirth, how he couldn't believe it, he roared, he roared! When he came to Wang Meiren's residence, he will always remember the face with bleeding and distorted facial features, what a painful feeling it was, making this originally delicate and lovely face so hideous! And here he saw He Hua, saw the Ten Standing Attendants, and a baby child, he seemed to understand, he gently hugged the child, tremblingly pointed to He Hua and the Ten Standing Attendants and asked them why? He remembered what He Hua said, Your Majesty favors me, you can only give me one person, if you want to blame her, she is pregnant with His Majesty's flesh and blood, and she broke the rules of this palace!

He finally got angry, this was the first time he hit He Hua, the sound of his clear mouth resounded in this dead palace, He Hua looked at him with stubborn eyes with blood on the corners of his mouth! He became more and more angry, the Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, even if he was a toothless tiger, he would be angry! Many people died in the palace that day, and the truth was revealed, after Wang Meiren knew that she was pregnant, she knew that if Queen He knew that not only could not keep the child, but most of her own lives were worried, Wang Meiren tried to beat the child with drugs, but the fetus was too stubborn and did not succeed, and then there was that dream interpretation dialogue, Wang Meiren was even more determined to give birth to this child, she has been wrapping her belly with silk cloth, living in a simple house, and hiding from everyone until the day of delivery. All this is unbearable for He Hua, so He Hua forcibly fed the wine to Wang Meiren after Wang Meiren gave birth, but he didn't bear to kill He Hua after all, looking at the familiar and strange woman in front of him, Liu Hong thought he was disheartened, in order to protect the child, he handed him over to his mother Empress Dowager Dong to raise personally, when he left, Liu Hong looked at He Hua who was kneeling on the ground and the ten permanent servants behind her and said a word: My prince, if there is an accident, you will be buried!

Since then, Liu Hong rarely went to He Hua again, and in the court, he directly abolished the imprisonment of party members, and appointed many capable people with lofty ideals to enter the court as officials, and the atmosphere of the court was completely new.

"Father"

"Father"

Liu Hong came back to his senses and saw two children standing in front of him, Liu Hong showed a rare charitable smile, one of these two children was named Liu Wei was born to Queen He Hua, and the other was born to Wang Meiren. The two children are of the same age, and Liu Weixu is three years older than Liu Xie. It is also strange to say that although Empress He repeatedly told Liu Wei not to play with Liu Xie often, Liu Wei was notoriously good to this half-brother. Maybe it's because of these two children in this huge palace, the two children stick together all day and night, naughty and mischievous.

Liu Wei and Liu Hong are very similar, they are very light and picky at a young age, quite like Liu Hong's demeanor when he was young, and Liu Xie and Wang Meiren are more similar, and they are also very smart and studious, so Liu Hong likes Liu Xie more for these two children.

Liu Hong kindly took the hands of the two, "Emperor, sit down and chat with your father"

"The retainers obey!"

Liu Bian, Liu Xie sat next to Liu Hong one on the left and one on the right, and Liu Bian took the lead in saying, "Father, haven't you been sitting here alone all the time?" ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "Child, when you reach the age of a widow, you shouldn't ask like this!" Life in the world, the grass and trees in autumn, how sad! ”

"Father, I heard from the queen mother, you weren't like this before" Liu Wei looked innocent

"Silly child" Liu Hong touched Liu Wei's little brain and said, "Nothing is static, whether it is a person or a thing, it will change in the end."

The two children nodded as if they didn't understand, and Liu Xie seemed to think of something and asked, "Father, why does my brother have a mother, but Xie'er doesn't." ”

Liu Xie's immature voice was like a thunderbolt, setting off a storm in Liu Hong's calm heart, Liu Hong smiled far-fetchedly, "Isn't Xie'er an imperial grandmother?"

"But the imperial grandmother is not Xie'er's imperial grandmother alone, but also the imperial grandmother of Brother Bian" Liu Xie's two big eyes sparkled at Liu Hong, which reminded him of the woman sitting under the tree on the branch of the moon caressing Yaoqin. Liu Hong burst into tears,

"Father, why are you crying?" Liu Xie hurriedly wiped the tears on Liu Hong's face, Liu Hong tried to control his emotions and said to the two children, "You go back first, my father is tired and is going to rest."

"Father, take care of your body" The two children left after giving a salute, Liu Hong looked at Liu Xie blankly, and secretly made up his mind that if anyone dared to hurt him, the widow would definitely punish his nine clans!

The imperial capital in the night was like a gluttonous beast devouring everyone in the city, the lights in the palace illuminated every corner, and Liu Hong sat on the bed

"Your Majesty, Hussar General Dong Chong is here," one of the chamberlains whispered

"Xuan" Liu Hong was a little tired, and he was a little weak when he spoke

"No"

Not long after, the waiter led a middle-aged man about fifty years old to walk in, the man was about to salute, Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here, those false courtesies will be waived."

"Your Majesty," Dong Chong straightened up and asked, "I don't know what happened to Your Majesty recruiting ministers into the palace late at night?" ”

Liu Hong motioned for the waiter to leave with his eyes and said, "Uncle, my body, I'm afraid it won't last a few years."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about!" Dong Chong said with a worried face, "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, how is it possible?"

"Uncle" Liu Hong interrupted Dong Chong's words, "My body, I know myself, I recruited my uncle tonight because I have something to explain to my uncle"

Liu Hong stood up wearing a coat: "I want my uncle to protect Xie'er well!" If I die, with He Hua's jealous temperament, I will definitely kill Xie'er, I am already sorry for his mother, and I don't want to lose him! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will protect the second prince with death," Dong Chong said with a complicated face

"There is one more thing, after my death, Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and the others must be restless, if possible, uncle will find a way to get rid of them!"

"Your Majesty, this" Dong Chong was a little embarrassed, because the power of the Ten Standing Servants was difficult to shake by himself, Dong Chongzhong thought that since His Majesty wanted to let them, why not just do it himself.

Liu Hong seemed to see through Dong Chong's mind and said, "These ten people are kind to me, I don't want to be called unkind and unjust after I die!" ”

"Alas, the old minister must be a liver and brain!" Dong Zhong knelt on the ground and bowed deeply

"Okay, you go, I'm tired" Liu Hong coughed and sat back on the dragon couch

"Your Majesty, take care" Dong Chong took a deep look at his nephew, and when he left the palace, Dong Chong looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and sighed: "This court, it seems that it is going to be chaotic again!" ”

Empress He of Shufang Hall is bathing in the bathtub.

Zhang Rang hurriedly trotted all the way to the Shufang Palace, a little palace maid was about to stop her, but was slapped aside by Zhang Rang's mouth, Zhang Rang couldn't care about the report at the moment, and pushed the door straight in, "Niangniang, Niangniang, it's a big deal!" ”

He Hua frowned slightly, stood up from the bathtub, white skin, round and smooth, He Hua gently opened her arms and asked the palace maid to wipe her body, "Grandpa Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Rang lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Niangniang, please retreat left and right"

"All of you go down!" He Hua stepped on the slender jade feet and walked out of the bathtub, "Say, Grandpa Zhang!" ”

Zhang Rang looked around to confirm that there was no one left and right, stepped forward to He Hua's side, and whispered next to her ear, "Niangniang, the emperor secretly recruited Dong to re-enter the palace last night."

"So what?" He Hua asked puzzled

"We are all in trouble, Niangniang is still so idle" Zhang Rang looked anxious, "I have already bought the servant next to the emperor, he told the miscellaneous family that the emperor wants to kill us!" ”

He Hua's face also changed, "Impossible, how could the emperor kill me!" ”

"Oh, my mother, alas, this is really true, you think that the emperor has held a grudge against us for a long time because of Wang Meiren's affairs, and the emperor has not been crowned a prince for a long time, I'm afraid it is for the second prince! Recently, the emperor's health has been getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid he won't be able to last long! Mother, hurry up! ”

"This" He Hua was a little incredulous, "what should we do"

Zhang Rang bowed his head and made a gesture, and said mysteriously: "It's better for us to strike first!" ”

He Hua was shocked and said, "You want to rebel? ”

Zhang Rang smiled, "No, we're just changing to a new gentleman!" ”

"Are you crazy?" He Hua said angrily: "Let's not talk about the army of the Qin King from all walks of life, even Xu Yi and his Yu Linwei, we can't get by!" ”

"Shall we wait to die, then?" Zhang Rang said dejectedly

"My brother He Jin is now a general of the imperial court, and the military power is in hand, if the emperor wants to kill you and me, he must also weigh my brother's power" He Hua smiled, "Wait and see, tomorrow I will ask my brother and the ministers to put pressure on our majesty!" ”

He Hua lay on the bed, Zhang Rang gently kneaded He Hua's body joints with his hand, "Niangniang, is this strength good?" ”

He Hua let out a comfortable low moan: "It's late at night!" But his eyes were cold and terrifying.

A city, two people, waiting for the idle to change, but the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the people are changeable! The palace is like the sea.
