Chapter 779: The Queen's House

Liu Zheng almost fainted, he reacted at this time, and after a long time, Princess Tong'an was talking about the emperor. Although the emperor is indeed his nephew and son-in-law, how can he really be the emperor in normal times, and besides, how much does the emperor love to be romantic, where does he dare to care? Even if others tell him to listen, he has to cover his ears and walk quickly, as far as he can hide!

Liu Zheng shouted: "My old aunt, my old ancestor!" Don't make such a joke, if the little nephew knew that you were talking about the emperor, even if you broke my dog's leg, I wouldn't dare to say that! I thought it was a child of our Lao Liu family, but who knew you were talking about Lao Wang's family! ”

Princess Tong'an is getting old, but she likes to see people embarrassed, she saw that Liu Zheng was scared, and continued to say seriously: "Unintentional words are the truth, and this is the most clear point in this palace." I think back then, it was still the time of the former Sui Dynasty, and it was ...... at that time."

Recalling the past, the old princess was very feminine back then, and Princess Tong'an opened the conversation box and talked endlessly, talking about how she "outwitted" Emperor Yang of Sui back then. Over the decades, she has spoken these words more than a thousand times, almost all of them have become her own legend, and every time she speaks, there is more content, as long as she starts to speak, she does not speak for two or three hours, she will not stop!

Liu Zheng was full of green bags, his scalp was numb, and he thought: "How old are you, and you are still so energetic!" What the hell is she looking for me to do today? Just to talk about the emperor's liking for nuns, what does this have to do with me? Even if it has a relationship, it has a relationship with my sister and brother-in-law, why don't you talk to them, but tell me, it really costs me my life! ”

Finally, I found an opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that Princess Tong'an was consuming too much saliva and drinking water to replenish the saliva, Liu Zheng said: "Auntie, why don't you wait for dinner and the little nephew will come to talk to you again?" Now the little nephew still has business to do, Ma Xiangye asked me to go to Wang Xiangye, there is an important government inquiry, if the little nephew doesn't get things done quickly, I'm afraid it will make Ma Xiangye unhappy! ”

Princess Tong'an stopped talking and asked, "You are going to find Wang Xiangye, that Wang Xiangye is Wang Ping'an, right?" A little miracle doctor of peace? ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly said: "Exactly, it is the little doctor of peace." It's just that Wang Xiangye doesn't like the government very much, whether it was in Zhongshu Province in the past, or now in Menxia Province, he rarely goes to Yamen to work, so when the little nephew went to Dongtai to look for him, he didn't see him, he was going to go to his Guogong Mansion, but he didn't want his aunt to see him, so the little nephew put down his official duties and came to see your old man first! ”

Princess Tong'an said very gossipily: "According to what you say, Wang Ping'an is a lazy person, taking the money but not working?" ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly said loudly: "No, no, the little nephew didn't say that." When Wang Xiangye first entered the Zhongshu Province, he was one of the bosses of the little nephew, and now he is the prime minister, he is very kind and never supports the little nephew, so the little nephew respects him the most, how can he say bad things about him! ”

Princess Tong'an followed the conversation and asked again: "Are you complaining about this?" When you say that Wang Ping'an is good, are you alluding to Ma Zhou's badness? Then you have to be careful, Ma Zhou has a big temper, and he is your top boss, be careful that he repairs you, in his eyes, you are not much bigger than a grasshopper! Well, Ma Zhou's wife also often comes to see the palace, and when she comes next time, the palace will tell her, let her go back and tell Ma Zhou, be kind to you in the future, lest you speak ill of him everywhere! ”

Liu Zheng almost cried, he shouted: "My ancestor, just say a few words, you want to kill your little nephew, if this word reaches Ma Xiangye's ears, he will really easily drive me out of Chang'an!" ”

Liu Zheng knew in his heart that Ma Zhou was a real gentleman, and he would not repair him just because he was chewing his tongue behind his back, of course, if he changed the eldest grandson Wuji, he would repair him, but Ma Zhou would not. But no matter what, being said behind his back is a very unpleasant thing, no need for Ma Zhou to be embarrassed for him, as long as Ma Zhou doesn't mention his name, then he won't want to go up on the official road in his life, and the official will crush people to death!

Princess Tong'an snorted twice and said, "That's good, then the palace won't talk about it." By the way, this palace came to you today to tell you that your nephew and son-in-law like a nun. Okay, let's go, let's go see Wang Xiangye! ”

Liu Zheng had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, secretly blaming Princess Tong'an in her heart, she has nothing to do, even if you want to find someone to talk to, why don't you look for my sister, one of you is the emperor's aunt and grandmother, and the other is the emperor's mother-in-law, you two said that it doesn't matter what the emperor's preferences are, but I can't say it, I'm a distant relative at most, but I'm not a real relative.

Just as Liu Zheng was about to go out of the house, Princess Tong'an suddenly seemed to think of something, and added another sentence, saying: "Your nephew and son-in-law like nuns, and it is the bridge that Wang Xiangye built!" "Anyway, close your eyes and pretend to sleep.

These words are like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Princess Tong'an put the most important sentence at the end before saying it, and suddenly Liu Zheng was confused, almost fell down, and when she wanted to ask again, she saw the old lady pretending to sleep!

There was no way, Liu Zheng had no choice but to leave the princess's mansion, and with a belly full of questions, he went to find Wang Ping'an.

As soon as Liu Zheng left, Princess Tong'an opened her eyes and said to the maid-in-law around her: "Wait, from tomorrow, Xiao Wang's wife will come to accompany the palace every day, and the palace will no longer have to be lonely, and someone will accompany her every day!" The old lady said proudly.

According to the experience of chewing her tongue for many years, Princess Tong'an knows that if she asks the Lao Wang family first, it will be too direct, and if something happens in the future and is questioned, the Lao Wang family will say that these words are heard from her; And if she hinted at Liu Zheng and asked Liu Zheng to pass the word, if she was questioned, she could pretend to be confused and not admit that she had said these words, which were all made up by Liu Zheng herself.

This is the experience of spreading gossip, before passing on the gossip, you must first find a scapegoat, so as not to be annoyed and embarrassed by the gossip person, and find her to settle accounts!

Liu Zheng left the princess's mansion and thought: "The emperor has fallen in love with a nun, this is not a big deal, even if the emperor falls in love with the eunuch and does my again!" But if it is a bridge built by Wang Ping'an, then there will be a big deal here. Could it be that Wang Ping'an wants to meddle in the affairs of the inner palace? Or who did Wang Ping'an support, he wouldn't have taken the benefits of Concubine Xiao Shu, right? ”

The Concubine Xiao Shudi he thought of was the former Xiao Liangdi, after Li Zhi ascended the throne, all the palace people were upgraded, and Xiao Liangdi became Concubine Xiao Shudi. That Concubine Xiao Shu gave birth to a son some time ago, and she was even more favored by the emperor, and I heard that Concubine Xiao Shufei was moving around, wanting to use the excuse that the queen could not have children to abolish the queen and set up her as the queen herself.

Queen Wang is Liu Zheng's niece, if she falls out of favor, it is a big deal, this is the first important thing of the old Wang family!

The more Liu Zheng thought about it, the more scared he became, he was really afraid that Wang Ping'an would stand on Concubine Xiao Shu's side, palace fighting was a matter for women, but the courtiers intervened, then the matter would be big, and it was very likely that his niece would really be abolished, because her niece did have "negligence" and couldn't have children, which was a big fault in the royal family!

When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Liu Zheng was already in a cold sweat, and he was informed that he entered the lobby and waited for a long time, but he did not see Wang Ping'an come out to meet the guests. He was so anxious that he urged the servant and asked Wang Ping'an what he was doing.

The servant thought that he was here to give gifts and run officials, so according to the conventional saying, he said that Xiangye went out of the city last night, and he didn't sleep well and was making up for sleep, if the waiter couldn't wait, he could go back first, just write down the matter on paper, and when Xiangye woke up, he would show him.

Liu Zheng was annoyed in his heart, this Wang Ping'an's shelf was inevitably too big, he was also a waiter, and he was a former colleague of Dongtai, how could he just sleep and ignore himself! He was patient, so he had to wait, he was going to reply to Ma Zhou today, and it was impossible to just leave a note and leave directly.

After a while, there was a lot of noise outside the door, Wang Ping'an came back, Liu Zheng Daqi, didn't he say that he was sleeping in the back, why did he come back from outside, could it be that the servant was bluffing himself just now?

As soon as Wang Ping'an came in, he said, "It turned out to be Lord Liu, you came to my house, but something happened?" ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly saluted and said, "There is indeed something, your housekeeper said that Wang Xiang was resting in the back house, I don't know why Wang Xiang came back from the main gate?" ”

After Wang Ping'an accompanied the emperor back, he did not go home directly, but accompanied Li Zhi into the palace to discuss how to take Wu Meiniang into the palace.

The servants in the house didn't know, so they deduced that Wang Ping'an was sleeping and asked Liu Zheng to leave a note, which was specially ordered by Wang Ping'an, and the trick used by the officials who sent gifts to him to do things.

The servant thought that Liu Zheng was here to give gifts, and leaving a note was a tactful statement, so that if someone checked for bribes in the future, Wang Ping'an would have a prevarication, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to really come to do things.

Wang Ping'an heaved and said, "After waking up, I went out for a spin, and Lord Liu has something to say." ”

Liu Zheng said what Ma Zhou was going to ask, and Wang Ping'an said: "Who is the boss, this has to be decided by Lord Changsun and Master Ma, but as a waiter in Dongtai, I have a proposal for the deputy general, why don't you send General Xue Rengui, you can go back and say this to Master Ma." ”

Liu Zheng sighed, and thought: "Xue Rengui wants to be released, but he actually took the path of Wang Ping'an, I really didn't expect it." However, why did Wang Ping'an go last night? Could it be that I went to Ganye Temple? ”

While making a statement of farewell, he said to himself: "I don't know if the Yingshan red outside the city has bloomed, these days are too busy, I haven't gone out to see the flowers, in previous years, the Yingshan red in the Ganye Temple is the most prosperous." ”

Wang Ping'an said casually: "Not yet, there is no Yingshan Red around Ganye Temple!" ”

Liu Zheng shuddered, it seems that Wang Ping'an did go to Ganye Temple, otherwise how would he know? He hurriedly said: "Wang Xiang recently went to Ganye Temple? ”

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "I accompanied the emperor yesterday and the eldest grandson to go together." Why, Lord Liu likes Yingshan red? What a Yaxing! ”

Liu Zheng didn't dare to say more, but said: "Yes, Xiaguan likes Yingshan red the most, this flower is about to bloom, and the red glow of the field will be the most gorgeous!" With that, he took his leave and left the palace.

As soon as Liu Zheng left, Wang Ping'an asked his servant: "Is there a red mountain in Ganye Temple?" Isn't Yingshan Red just an azalea?,It should have bloomed.,Why didn't I see it around Ganye Temple? ”

The servants shook their heads one after another, not understanding why Liu Zheng suddenly came out with such a sentence.

Liu Zheng left the Guogong Mansion, immediately entered the palace, and told Ma Zhou about the candidate proposed by Wang Ping'an, but Ma Zhou didn't say anything, and he didn't assign Liu Zheng to do other work. Liu Zheng was on duty in advance and rushed to the Duke of Wei's mansion, that is, the home of his brother-in-law Wang Renyou, Wang Renyou is the father of Empress Wang, the wife of Wei Liu, and Liu Zheng's sister.

When he came to Wang Renyou's mansion, Liu was very surprised and said: "Brother, why did you come to my sister's place today, your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet, and he is still on duty in the yamen, why did you come back first, you should be busier than him?" ”

Liu Zheng told his sister what he heard from Princess Tong'an, and also said that Wang Ping'an and the eldest grandson Wuji accompanied the emperor and went to Ganye Temple, and they also told it.

When Liu heard this, he was greatly frightened, took Liu Zheng's hand, and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this thing is not good!" Listening to what the queen said, the emperor hasn't been to her for a long time, although Xiao Fox hasn't been there many times, but in comparison, in the entire palace, there is only one person who can get close to the emperor, Xiao Fox is the only one left, could it be that Xiao Fox has a wrong idea and wants to replace the queen? ”

Although she is the daughter born by herself, she can only be called the queen when she is called, and when she sees her daughter, she has to kowtow and salute, which makes the difference between the monarch and the minister.

Liu Zheng also sweated on his forehead, and said: "If it is a fight between the people in the palace, then it is okay, the emperor can't only take care of Xiao Fox, but also take care of the queen, after all, the matter is very important." But if the ministers in the court are reconciled, it will be troublesome, especially a confidant minister like Wang Ping'an, who can't go against the queen, if you add the eldest grandson Wuji, it will be a big deal! ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "No, I heard the queen say that she enveloped Wang Ping'an very well, and recognized him as a cousin, they are already relatives, why does Wang Ping'an want to help Xiao Fox, isn't that the pain of the relatives and the happiness of the enemies?" ”

Liu Zheng said angrily: "Can this kind of relationship between relatives be trusted?" You don't want to think about it, how can Wang Ping'an take this relationship seriously? The queen can recognize him as a cousin, so if Xiao Fox wants to take the throne, he may be able to recognize him as his goduncle, can't you do this kind of thing as Xiao Fox? ”

Liu was flustered and asked, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to wait for your brother-in-law to come back and discuss it? ”

Liu Zheng said: "Of course we have to discuss, is it possible to sit still and wait for death!" After thinking about it, he said again: "Why don't you go to Princess Tong'an tomorrow, inquire about it, and then enter the palace to explain the matter to the queen, see if the queen has a way, and then we will take countermeasures." ”

Liu couldn't, so he could only agree, and there was no other way.

At this time, not only was there a panic in the Wei State Mansion, but even the Liao State Mansion was in chaos. Ouyang Li went to Ganye Temple, saw Wu Meiniang, and told Wang Ping'an when he came back that there was a nun in the temple, who was the one who opposed Wu Meiniang, and he already knew about the private meeting!

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, and the roots of his hair stood up!
