Chapter 274: [The Queen Mother Also Wants to Be Scared (II)] (Third Update)
The long tour outline, with no end in sight, all the palace maids have avoided it, and only two people walk towards the deep palace courtyard one after the other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Fang and Shi Xian only politely said when they entered the door, and then they didn't speak, and the two of them walked quietly in the quiet echo, only the sound of feet echoed softly.
When Shi Xian in front turned to the right, the footsteps behind him paused slightly, and a clear and peaceful voice came: "Servant Shi, isn't the Queen Mother in the front hall to meet her subordinates?" ”
It was not the first time Zhang Fang had entered Changle Palace, of course he knew how to get to the front hall, so Shi Xian led the way in a deflected direction, and he suddenly realized something.
Shi Xianzheng walked to a dark palace gate, and when he heard the words, he looked back and smiled, his face was blurred, there were only two rows of white teeth, and Sen Sen was cold: "It's right to meet in the front hall, but the queen mother is dipping for the first emperor, and she won't be able to come for a while." The servant is afraid that the prince will be bored, so he will make his own opinion, and invite the prince to enter this room to have a look......"
Shi Xian pushed open the palace door as he spoke, stood at the foot of the steps, raised his sleeves and made a gesture of please.
Zhang Fang stared at Shi Xian for a while, then smiled and walked in. That is, if it comes, it will be safe, and I don't believe that Shi Xian can play any demon moth in Changle Palace.
The moment Zhang Fang stepped into the palace, he instinctively looked up at the plaque and was shocked.
Bell Chamber! This is the Bell Chamber!
The bell room, as the name suggests, is where the big bell is placed and the clock is rung on time. This was originally a very inconspicuous ordinary palace room, and the reason why Zhang Fang reacted so much was because the bell room of Changle Palace was a mysterious place in the Han Dynasty.
Here, a conspiracy killed a founding prince.
That is the famous and well-known Marquis of Huaiyin in later generations - Han Xin.
In the tenth year of Gaozu (196 years ago), Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was designed into the Changle Palace by Empress Lu and Xiao He, tied to the bell room and killed, and it is said that he was hung in a cloth bag and beaten to death. Since then, this bell room has become a place for people to talk about.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xian actually led himself here. Shi Xian, what do you want to do?
Zhang Fang looked at Shi Xian coldly, this Changxin servant was like nothing, like a tour guide, one by one for Zhang Fang to introduce, for example, this big bell is recast in the Xiaowu period, the inscription on the bell is engraved from the hand of Prime Minister Sun Hong, and the twelve bells hanging opposite the big bell represent an hour and so on.
At the end of the popular science, Shi Xian pointed to a thick beam on the roof and said, "Do you see a deep rope mark on it?" ”
Zhang Fang glanced at it, and asked instead of answering: "Mrs. Shi wants to tell me that the rumor is true?" ”
Shi Xian smiled faintly: "It's been a hundred years, and there is no way to verify whether the rumors are true or false." The servant is only sure of one thing, even if he is a meritorious founding marquis, if he offends the queen mother, he will inevitably end up in a bleak end. ”
Zhang Fang suddenly, I see, I said, Shi Xian is a servant of Changxin, and he has no right to lead himself into a place like the bell room. It turned out that on the order of the Queen Mother, she pulled herself to see the "execution ground". The purpose couldn't be more obvious - intimidation!
This is Wang Zhengjun's response to his whipping of Gou Shen. Well, yes, it's very royal and gentlemanly.
It's a pity, he's Zhang Fang, not Han Xin; She is Wang Zhengjun, not Empress Lu; This is the Chengdi Dynasty, not the Gaozu Dynasty. With the political ability of the queen mother, she can only play this hand.
After Shi Xian said this, he stared at the handsome face of the young Fuping Marquis for a moment, and wanted to see what kind of color this face that had been light and breezy since entering the palace would become—unfortunately, he was disappointed.
Zhang Fang said leisurely: "Since the servant mentioned the matter of the first dynasty, then don't forget to let the servant go, the ancestor and the white horse alliance of the founding princes have an oath, and the Liu family should share the world with the relatives." Over the years, the servant has offended his relatives......"
Shi Xian lowered his head, the bell room was deep, and it was difficult to see its face.
Zhang Fang laughed, looked at the sun, and said: "It's not early, don't let the queen mother be a long-term marquis, and lose her duty as a courtier." Mrs. Shi, let's go. ”
Looking at Zhang Fang's back laughing, Shi Xian was not angry, but his face became more gloomy - he wanted to prick Zhang Fang with a needle, but he didn't expect to be deeply stabbed with a sword.
……
In the front hall of Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun behind the curtain saw the nephew who made her itchy teeth, and she was as disappointed as Shi Xian - that handsome face did not have the panic, confusion and begging for mercy she wanted to see, only the usual light and light.
"Minister Zhang Fang, meet the Queen Mother." Zhang Fang simply closed his sleeves and flicked it. This is the good thing in the Han Dynasty, even if you meet the emperor and the queen mother, you will be done, and the emperor and the queen mother have to return the courtesy. Of course, at least you have to be an official of more than 1,000 stones, a petty official of a few hundred stones, don't think of having such an honor.
"Excuse me, sit down."
"Empress Dowager Xie." Under the guidance of the female officials in the palace, Zhang Fang sat down respectfully at the back of the short case on the left.
The front hall is a formal occasion, and Zhang Fang is only called "Queen Mother" and not "Uncle". In the same way, Wang Zhengjun also regarded him as a courtier.
At this moment, there is no family affection, only resentment.
Wang Zhengjun didn't ask Zhang Fang first, but asked Shi Xian: "Marquis Fuping rarely enters Changle Palace, what fun can Mrs. Shi take him to see?" Obviously, Wang Zhengjun thought that Shi Xian didn't do what he ordered, otherwise how could this seventeen or eighteen-year-old rich young man look like nothing?
Shi Xian, who was standing on the side of the palace gate and listened with his hands down, smiled helplessly, he knew much more about Zhang Fang than Wang Zhengjun, and he didn't have any hope for this intimidation, so he had to reply: "Back to the Queen Mother, the servant led Fuping to see the bell room." Fuping is young and old, courageous and knowledgeable, and deeply admired. ”
The meaning of these words is obvious, people don't worry at all, the Queen Mother, your abacus has failed.
Wang Zhengjun was obviously quite surprised, and looked at the nephew seriously through the gap in the curtain. It's true, at a young age, he has a calmness that can only be seen on the faces of old ministers such as his brother, prime minister, and Da Sima. It seems that he is a little underestimated by this kid, no wonder he is so bold that he dares to whip his brother and force the nephew of the Wang family to death......
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Zhengjun felt a wave of anger rise in his chest, and his voice was full of a bone-seeping coldness: "Marquis Fuping, Hedong is very majestic." ”
Zhang Fang bowed and said, "Don't dare." The minister was in danger, attacked by bandits, and was almost burned, and he was embarrassed at that time...... If the Queen Mother had seen it, she would not have said so. ”
As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, they were like masters holding their wrists, and they were instantly energetic and sharp.
The anger in Wang Zhengjun's chest did not subside, his face was blue again, and his tone became sharp: "Bandit...... There are many displaced people in the east of the river, and there are many thieves. The Marquis of Fuping traveled to the east of the river and took charge of the migration, which was a matter of offending people. You are young and do not know the severity of your life, and it is inevitable that you will get into some trouble and be attacked. Fuping should take this as a lesson and think twice about acting in the future. ”
This is a warning under the pretext of a bandit attack.
Zhang Fang said respectfully: "Your Majesty understands, thank you for the reminder of the Queen Mother." I also ask the Queen Mother to teach me and other relatives to be strict with the law and not to do sinners. The thieves in the world are not only in Hedong. ”
It's true that the other party is the queen mother, but she is not the meat on the chopping board, and she has to smile when someone sticks a knife in her back, which is not Zhang Fang's style of life.
Wang Zhengjun almost didn't choke to death, but even if she was possessed by Empress Lu, it was impossible to do anything to Zhang Fang at the moment.
"Fuping Hou...... Hello for yourself! ”
After a long silence, Zhang Fang raised his head, but saw that the bead curtain trembled violently, and there was no one behind the curtain. (To be continued.) )
