Chapter 2: The Changqiu Palace is in turmoil

Spring to autumn to a few more cold and summer, the young emperor of the year, under the instigation of the ten permanent servants, the court of the Han Empire came once, now the young man has grown up, without the constraints of the courtiers, Liu Hong indulges in pleasure, a lot of construction, he built dozens of pools in the west garden of the palace, named Fangfei Garden, Liu Hong personally selected the beautiful skin, the body of the light body of the palace maid to row the artemisia, the sparkling pool water reflects the gorgeous skin. In this midsummer season, Liu Hong's greatest pleasure is to play and drink with many concubines here.

On this day, Liu Hong was drunk again, raised his glass, looked at the wine enshrined in the Western Regions in the wine glass, and sighed: "If this is the case for 10,000 years, then wouldn't I be happier than the gods!" ”

Zhang Rang stood behind Liu Hong and nodded, "What Your Majesty said is that even if you are an immortal, how can you mention it!" ”

"Okay, Father is right, come, drink this wine together!" Liu Hong smiled and raised his glass, drunk even stronger, the night was deep, the wind suddenly rose, blowing the lake here, Liu Hong fell asleep again, Zhang Rang took a windbreaker from the palace maid, and slowly covered Liu Hong's body, the lights were shining, the glazed green tiles, the autumn water was horizontal, and the moonlight shone on the palace

Fufeng Pingling Song family is a local family, the Song family started in the Gaozu Liu Bang period, the ancestor of the Song family Song Chang followed the Gaozu Liu Bang to fight in various places, a lot of credit, after the founding of the Han Empire, Song Chang was Zhuang Wuhou because of merit, now it has a history of hundreds of years, at this time the old head of the Song family Song Yu is sitting in the hall drinking the tribute tea sent to him by his daughter, his daughter was canonized as a nobleman when he entered the palace, the old Song did not want his daughter to have much achievement, I just hope that she can be safe and secure in the palace, After all, the danger of the harem is not lower than that of the court, but he never thought that his daughter was made the queen by the emperor, and he also followed the rising tide, but he was already old, and he was not used to seeing the ten permanent servants controlling the government, so the old Song simply resigned and returned to his hometown, and lived for a long time.

A loud voice sounded outside the door, "Father, father, it's not good"

Song Yu looked at his youngest son Song Qing and said in a deep voice, "What's the panic, what's wrong?" ”

Song Qing picked up the teapot on the table and drank two sips first, Old Song said distressedly, "You rabbit cub, drink it slowly, this is tribute tea, your sister just asked the palace people to send it!" ”

Song Qing put down the teapot, "Just now I listened to the people from the imperial capital say that Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, has rebelled."

"What?" Lao Song was frightened at this time, "Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, is the first brother of the first emperor, and he has always been loyal and duty-oriented, how could he rebel?" Old Song walked around the hall, the reason why he was so anxious was because his sister-in-law was the concubine of the King of Bohai, "How is your aunt?" Old Song looked back and asked anxiously

"I heard that he was imprisoned with the King of Bohai"

"Quick, go find someone to inform your sister and ask what's going on, rebellion is a big crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans!"

"Oh" Song Qing hurriedly prepared to arrange for someone to enter the imperial capital to find out the reason for Empress Song, Song Yu shouted, "Wait, you go in person, you must hurry!" ”

"Got it"

Song Yu walked out of the house, watched his son go away, looked at the old tree in front of the court swaying in the wind, his heart was like numbness, it was really a tree that wanted to be quiet, the wind did not stop, I don't know if the old tree of the Song family can survive this wind.

Luoyang Palace Qiule room, Wang Fu knelt on the ground, in front of him full of boxes of jewelry, Wang Fu cautiously said to the person lying on the couch, "Let the prince, this is a little bit of the villain's filial piety to you, you just accept it, please save the villain"

"Mind?" Zhang Rang casually pushed away the palace maid beside him, sat up and looked at the house full of jewels and said, "Back then, your brother was arrested by the King of Bohai for embezzling the imperial court's military rations, and finally killed your brother, but you want to take revenge on Liu Kui because of this matter?" ”

"Let the public clearly check that the villain is already incomplete and unable to inherit the Wang family, and the only younger brother in the family took a little grain from the treasury, so Liu Kui killed my brother despite my bitter pleading" Wang Fu knelt on the ground and said with a handful of tears

Zhang Rang chirped and said, "A little? What your brother got was 100,000 quintals of military rations, military rations, even if it was me, I didn't have as much courage as your brother, 100,000 quintals of military rations, did your brother keep the cubs! Forget it, your brother is dead anyway, these jewels are all from the Bohai Palace."

"Yes," Wang Fu lowered his head and said, "These are just small meanings, after the matter is completed, the villain will be thanked!" ”

Zhang Rang asked with interest, "Tell me, since Liu Kui has been brought down by you, I want to see who else can threaten you."

"Fufeng Song family! And Queen Song! Wang Fu raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Rang

"You?" Zhang Rang got up in anger, walked to Wang Fu's side, and stepped on Wang Fu's back, "After the Song family is the founder of the Han Dynasty, and the Song family is the mother of the dynasty, do you want me to help you kill her?" Are you sending me to death? ”

"Let Gong, let Gong, if she doesn't die, I will die, you don't know, this Princess Bohai is the aunt of Queen Song, I killed the Bohai King's family, how could Queen Song let me go, and how could she let you go!"

"Bastard, you can really cause trouble just like your brother!" Zhang Rang retracted the foot that was stepping on Wang Fu's back, "Forget it, who told us to be the same people, I'll help you with this matter, you go and notify the other permanent servants to come here to discuss matters"

"Thank you Rang Gong, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for Rang Gong in the next life," Wang Fu kept saying words of gratitude to Dade in his mouth

"Alright, hurry up"

"The villain obeys"

Wang Fu turned around, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, since Zhang Rang agreed, then no one else would object, now it depends on what method they use to make Queen Song and the entire Fufeng Song clan disappear! Outside the eaves, a spider is lurking in its new web, waiting for its next prey.

The sound of rooster crows sounded, waking up the sleeping Liu Hong, Liu Hong patted his forehead and looked at the sleeping concubines in front of him, Liu Hong did not disturb them, carefully straddled their bodies, and called a little eunuch, "Is the car ready?" ”

"Your Majesty is ready"

Liu Hong patted the little eunuch's shoulder kindly, "Well, yes, let's go with me"

Liu Hong came to the outside of the Lucky Garden, a little gray donkey, with a gorgeous cart is waiting there, Liu Hong is familiar with the road on the donkey cart to pick up the reins, this donkey cart is Liu Hong himself bored when he is blind to make out, every day he will drive the donkey cart to the palace of the various gardens around, the Manchu ministers in order to cater to Liu Hong is not in the carriage, changed to a donkey cart, for a time the price of an ordinary donkey even exceeded a good horse in the Western Regions

"Little Ash, let's go" Liu Hong asked to pull the reins, the little gray donkey took a step forward and began to walk forward, this donkey has been trained to be very familiar with the roads in the palace, and there is no need for Liu Hong to command the entire palace has gone around a big circle, at this time it happened to stop in the Changqiu Palace where the queen Song Ya lived, Liu Hong has long lost interest in the queen Song Ya now, if it weren't for the constant nagging of the old ministers in the court like flies around him, Liu Hong would not have named her the queen, but fortunately, although Liu Hong didn't like Song Ya, But she is still dignified and virtuous, and she governs the harem in an orderly manner, and she has a little bit of motherly demeanor in the world, as long as she doesn't interfere in my affairs at will, it doesn't hurt that I will be the queen by you. Liu Hong stopped the carriage and prepared to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Changqiu Palace, this Changqiu Palace has a pond lotus particularly beautiful, called Wangshu Lotus, these lotus flowers are the first emperor to contribute to the reign of Nanyue Kingdom, the first emperor planted it in the Changqiu Palace, now it is becoming more and more luxuriant, this lotus has a stem and four lotus, the leaves are particularly large, rolled up during the day, and will automatically open at night, so it is also called Night Shu Lotus, Liu Hong stopped the carriage and prepared to pick a few lotus leaves, at this time a little eunuch about eleven or twelve years old ran over in a panic, and hit Liu Hong at once, almost fell into the pond, His forehead hit the fence, and Liu Hong was furious, "Dog, do you want to die?" ”

"Your Majesty spares your life" The little eunuch trembled and prostrated on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and the other chamberlains rushed to hear the sound and hurriedly helped Liu Hong up, Liu Hong rubbed his forehead with a handkerchief, looked at a little blood stain on the handkerchief and said angrily, "I am standing here, how did you enter the palace, who taught you the etiquette in the palace?" Someone has gouged out his eyes, and I want to see how long your eyes are."

"Your Majesty, the villain knows it's wrong, the villain knows it's wrong, don't gouge out the villain's eyes" The little eunuch crawled to Liu Hong's feet crying, pulling the corners of Liu Hong's clothes with both hands, Liu Hong raised his foot and kicked the little eunuch aside, and shouted to the attendant beside him, "Are you all deaf?" Do you want me to cut off all your ears? ”

A group of attendants hurriedly held down the little eunuch, and another attendant took a knife and stabbed it in the eye of the little eunuch

"Stop?!" When everyone heard this, it turned out that it was Queen Song Ya who heard the noise and rushed over, "Your Majesty, he is still a child, it is better to leave it to me to punish!" Song Ya said to Liu Hong, "Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted, please think twice!" ”

Liu Hong looked at Song Ya's firm gaze and muttered for a long time, "Okay, it's up to you today, and next time, I will never spare it!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness" Song Ya slowly saluted, and the other chamberlains also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is merciful"

"Okay, let's all get up" Liu Hong asked people to pick a few lotus leaves and get on the donkey cart

"Your Majesty is slow, the old slave has something to play"

Listening to the voice, Liu Hong knew that it was Zhang Rang who spoke, "Zhang Rang, what's the matter with you?" ”

Zhang Rang ran from a distance panting, followed by Wang Fu and Taizhong Doctor Cheng A

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something important," after the three of them knelt down and saluted, Zhang Rang panted and said, "The old slave just learned that someone is trying to harm Your Majesty!" ”

"Hurt me? Who has the guts? Liu Hong asked while sitting on the donkey cart.

Zhang Rang glanced at Song Ya and fixed the corner of his eyes on the little eunuch, the little eunuch also looked at Zhang Rang at this time and nodded silently, Zhang Rang moved his gaze back, "Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to say"

"You say, with me here, what are you afraid of? I will take care of you."

"Okay, then the old slave will say it directly" "She is the one who wants to harm Your Majesty" Zhang Rang pointed his finger at one person in a deep voice.

Liu Hong looked at the queen Song Ya

"Zhang Rang, do you know that you have evidence, this nonsense is a capital crime of bullying the king!" Liu Hong's face was gloomy

Song Ya was also furious, "Father-in-law Zhang, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhang Rang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute", Zhang Rang waved his hand, Wang Fu walked over and brought the little eunuch over, "Say it"

The little eunuch took out an object from his arms with a pale face, slowly spread it out, Zhang Rang picked it up and handed it to Liu Hong respectfully, Liu Hong took it in his hand and looked at it, a doll made of cloth and straw, Liu Hong turned it over and pasted a piece of yellow laminated paper on the back, on which his name and birth date were written, "Where did it come from?" Liu Hong asked

The little eunuch was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, "It was given to me by the queen mother, and the mother asked me to throw it into the pond"

"You are talking nonsense" Song Ya was already mad at this time, she was kind enough to save him, but she didn't want him to frame herself

"Someone! Press the queen to the cold palace and summon the Zongren Mansion to interrogate me in detail! Liu Hong clenched the puppet in his hand and said to Song Ya, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious!" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged" Song Ya broke free from the hands of the servant "The concubine has been in the palace for nearly ten years, walking on thin ice, loving others and restraining herself, how dare you curse Your Majesty" Liu Hong hesitated, Zhang Rang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't forget the matter of the King of Bohai and the princess"

"Hmph, press the queen down!" After Liu Hong finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Song Ya was pressed by the chamberlain and passed by Zhang Rang's side, "Zhang Rang, you and I have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why are you so preoccupied with me?" And you, I was kind enough to save you, I never thought that this was all your trap! ”

"Niangniang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my dad is sick, and it costs a lot of money to treat the disease, and Grandpa Zhang promised me that as long as I do this well, he will save my father"

"You are so stupid" Song Ya looked at the little eunuch with an idiot on her face, and the attendants didn't dare to be too embarrassed, Song Ya just whispered: "Niangniang, please!" ”

In the first year of Guanghe of the Han Empire, Empress Song Ya used witchcraft to cause trouble in the harem, cursed the emperor and was deposed and imprisoned, and the Fufeng Song clan was connected to the nine clans, only Song Qing escaped with his life, and lived in the deep mountains and old forests, and soon Song Ya died of grief.
