The Empress Dowager Bintian is a major event, and the entire Han is in a state of grief. All the liquor shops and music shops were closed, all the government offices and officials stopped working, and everyone was busy with the funeral of the Empress Dowager. However, there was an endless debate in the court. The abolished prime minister Xu Chang was a saint with a dead face, and he was forced to preside over the funeral of the empress dowager with death.

According to common sense, the Empress Dowager Bintian and the Emperor Bintian are the same pomp, even more luxurious than the emperor. Once there is luxury, the cost is naturally not a small number, and it is not clear if there are many things to spend. If you can make a little profit from the funeral of the Queen Mother, others dare not say it. Even if you say it, you can spend a sentence on the funeral of the Empress Dowager, is it possible that you will go to the emperor to report that the Empress Dowager's funeral is too luxurious?

Xu Chang may have fought this idea, he was deposed for many years, and only one marquis supported him. However, his family has a big business, coupled with poor financial management, the little income from the fiefdom is not enough for the family to spoil it, and he soon shows signs of making ends meet. And the funeral of the Empress Dowager gave him a chance, so he showed his old face for the sake of the family.

The prime minister was originally the best candidate to preside over the royal funeral, but unfortunately Tian Wei was implicated in the rebellion of the king of Huainan, and it was already very face-saving if he was not dismissed, and now he didn't dare to say a word. Zhuang Qingzhai became the second in line, but Zhuang Qingzhai seemed to be a little disheartened, and he had no intention of competing with Xuchang. Imperial Doctor Han Anguo is even more unbearable, although he did not involve the King of Huainan and is not the Empress Dowager, he is completely ignored by everyone.

Xuchang made trouble for three days, crying and worshipping, and the Jianzhang Palace couldn't fit the words of respect for the Empress Dowager. Liu Che really had no choice, so he could only allow him to preside over the funeral of the Empress Dowager, and at the same time let Zhuang Qingzhai assist from the side, which could be regarded as comforting the Empress Dowager's spirit in the sky, and letting his two most trusted courtiers arrange his funeral.

Changle Palace has been converted into a mourning hall, under a blanket of plains, from the emperor to the courtiers have come to pay respects, and even the representatives of the people selected from Chang'an City are allowed to worship, crying, wailing has never stopped.

As the emperor's future in-laws, Su Ren also knelt in the hall. said that he respected the Empress Dowager Dou clan for a long time, and he was not sure, but Su Ren still felt the Empress Dowager's protection of Su Ren. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager pressing the eldest princess Liu Yan, he Su Ren would not dare to work against Liu Yan's people even if he had great ability. Therefore, Su Ren is more grateful to the Empress Dowager Dou.

Su Jian was already a lieutenant of the Empress Dowager, so he naturally had a record in Zongzheng Mansion, so the place where he knelt was higher than Su Ren. But no matter what, Su Jian was only a four or five-year-old child, and he always felt uncomfortable being placed among a group of strangers, and soon tears couldn't stop flowing. People with children naturally understand what Su Jian means, and those who don't have children think that this great-grandson-in-law is good, and they know how to cry for the emperor's grandmother so quickly.

Since it is the future royal concubine, the queen mother, as the head of the first house, still has to care about it. Su Jian cried for a while, and the Queen Mother asked Su Ren to hug Su Jian. As soon as he saw his father, Su Jian's crying became louder, and he hugged Su Ren's neck and didn't let go, even if he fell asleep.

Hold your child on your chest and pat it gently. Liu Che glanced at it and snorted coldly: "Just like this, a kid still wants to marry my daughter?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Your Majesty won't regret it, right?" This matter was agreed to by the Queen Mother! ”

Liu Che glared at Su Ren: "The Empress Dowager has passed away, I'm afraid Chang'an City will be quiet for a while, and you will stay in Chang'an recently, right?" I have a lot to discuss with you. ”

Su Ren shook his head: "I said that three years is three years, unless something happens in Chang'an that His Majesty can't control, I will come back, in fact, the death of the Empress Dowager is also a good thing for Your Majesty, many people couldn't move before Your Majesty, but now they can move." ”

"You mean Aunt Guantao?"

"It's not just her, Princess Guantao is just spoiled by the Queen Mother, and there are many people in Chang'an City who tell Your Majesty to be careful more than Princess Guantao."

"Who?"

"It's nothing more than a relative of the emperor."

"Tian Wei? What other storms can he raise now? Liu An's matter I didn't deal with him, it was already considered an extrajudicial favor, if he didn't know how to restrain himself, I would definitely punish him severely. ”

Su Ren smiled: "Really?" The Queen Mother doesn't listen to Her Majesty? ”

Liu Che immediately stopped talking. The Queen Mother Wang is also an assertive person, and the Queen Mother has controlled the government for so many years, which is an invisible inducement to the Wang family. In Wang's view, what the Empress Dowager Dou did when Emperor Jing did, his Empress Dowager Wang should follow suit, and others must have no opinion. Dou Ying was the prime minister in the Jingdi Dynasty, and his younger brother Tian Wei of the Wang family must sit firmly in the position of prime minister.

Because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the entire family has soared, and the Wang family must not lag behind. Speaking of which, Wang's background is much better than Dou's. If the Dou family entered the palace as a palace maid with a beautiful son, if she was not sent by Empress Lu to represent the country, she would be able to sit on the throne of the princess, and then be crowned the queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother? How did the Wang family enter the palace with a good family, so she wanted to compare with the empress dowager everywhere, but she didn't expect her son to be stronger than the son of the Dou family.

Liu Che sighed: "Yes! The queen mother has been impatient in the past few days, if it weren't for the queen mother's mourning period, the coffin is still in Changle Palace, the queen mother may have moved over long ago! And that Tian Wei, who has been running more diligently to the queen mother recently, I don't know what he said to the queen mother? Every time the queen mother saw me, she said a lot of things about the loneliness of the Wang family, and everything in and out of the words was telling me to make the Wang family fill the court. ”

"Then what does Your Majesty mean?"

Liu Che smiled helplessly: "What do I mean?" I rule the world with filial piety, and I have to listen to the words of the queen mother even if I don't like to listen to them. ”

"Your Majesty wants to use the Wang family? Or the Tian family? ”

"Do I have any other choice?"

Su Ren shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be." ”

"Isn't that the end of it? According to the meaning of the queen mother, Gaihou Wang Xin is the ruling Jinwu, and fools like Zhou Yang Hou Tiansheng have to be generals, they want to control Chang'an! I don't know who gave the idea to the queen mother? ”

"Your Majesty agreed?"

Liu Che scratched his head: "I'm thinking about how to reply to the queen mother, I can't hurt the queen mother's heart or refuse openly, it's difficult!" ”

Su Ren's left arm was numb by Su Jian, and he wanted to change to the right, but Su Jian just hugged Su Ren's neck and didn't let go. Su Ren had no choice but to continue to insist: "In my opinion, this matter is the prime minister's idea, and there are masters behind the prime minister." ”

"Who?"

"Imperial Doctor Han Anguo! Although this person is good at drilling camps, he still has some talents, when he served King Liang, he and the general Zhang Yu resisted the rebellion of Wu State, and later helped King Liang resolve many crises. Su Ren finally moved Su Jian to his right hand, and breathed a sigh of comfort: "It is really not easy for the prime minister to deal with such a person, if Your Majesty can transfer this person away from the prime minister, things will be much easier." ”

"Transferred? is already ranked as the third public, how easy is it to transfer away? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Hehe, if Your Majesty doesn't even have this way, then your Majesty shouldn't be right!" ”

Liu Che said angrily: "What? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you, humiliate you, and behead all the people? ”

Su Ren glanced at Zhengxiang's son who was sleeping in his arms: "Your Majesty, if you are not afraid that you will become a widow and rebel before you get married!" ”

"You're ......!" Liu Che couldn't help but be stared at by Su Ren's words, and thought for a while: "It's easy to transfer Han Anguo away, how to deal with Tian Wei?" The queen mother's family can still use Tian Wei, and the others are all rice buckets, and Tian Wei has no hope after falling to his mother, so he may be reined in. ”

Su Ren looked at Liu Che: "Your Majesty wants me to make a move, right?" ”

"Do you dare to make a move?"

"Do you want me to do it?"

"Do you dare to make a move?"

……

"Hahaha......" The two of them said several words in a row, and suddenly laughed.

Su Jian was awakened by laughter and looked at Su Ren in confusion. Su Ren hurriedly coaxed a few words, but Su Jian lost his sleepiness, and got up from Su Ren's arms and looked left and right randomly. Liu Jiqing hurriedly pushed a plate of pastries next to Su Jianjian, and Su Ren grabbed a few and stuffed them into his mouth. I was in a hurry to eat and choked and began to roll my eyes. Su Ren casually took his tea bowl and fed Su Jian a few bites before the child became more comfortable.

A few people were busy for a while, Liu Che looked at Su Jian eating pastries, even if he was not elegant, the eating was really ugly, and he frowned and pointed at Su Jian: "I really regret giving Dang Li Xu to this kid." ”

Su Ren smiled and said, "It's late!" Even if you don't get married, no one dares to ask Your Majesty for marriage, except for us athletes, no one dares to ask for it! You say, don't you? Isn't it? Su Ren teased Su Jian vigorously, causing Su Jian to laugh.

The bell of Changle Palace rang, and when it was time for the big sacrifice, Liu Che and Su Ren hurriedly stood up, hugged Su Jian and walked towards Changle Palace. The emperor's relatives, the three princes and the nine kings have arrived, and each of them is a filial piety, kneeling in front of Changle Palace according to different identities and grades. Xuchang's dress is more filial than a filial son, if he has a banner in his hand, others will definitely think that Xuchang's old lady is dead.

With a cry in his voice, Xuchang began to preside over the funeral of the Empress Dowager.

The three main things in life, one is birth, the second is marriage, and the third is the funeral. Birth represents your arrival, the beginning of a life of misery or leisure; Marriage means that you are an adult, have the ability to reproduce, and can make the most important contribution to mankind; The funeral is to announce your departure, no matter how beautiful and vigorous your life is, this time is the end of your life.

Everything is fair, when you are born naked, you cry, but others applaud and welcome you. When you die, you can't take anything with you, and everyone starts crying, lamenting your departure. The life of the Empress Dowager Dou can be summed up in four words, which is called God's mercy. When she was born, no one thought she would be able to enter the palace; When she entered the palace, no one thought that she could be the queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother; As the queen mother, she never thought of holding the power of the entire Han in her hands. Dou is not a person with any ambitions, but he has done a lot of things that careerists have not been able to do, which is probably unique in history.
