Chapter 25 The Life of Empress Yang

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan did this is because he has received accurate news, in the palace, the most powerful is currently Queen Yang, this Queen Yang is more than sixty years old, but a woman's love for beauty is regardless of age, Gao Huaiyuan has never seen Queen Yang because of her identity, but I heard that she has a good way to stay in her face, an old woman of sixty or seventy years old, it is said that she only looks like she is in her early forties, and she still maintains the posture of a half-old, indicating that Queen Yang must have a special hobby in terms of beauty.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan will let Guicheng do what he likes, come up with the best things, and curry favor with Queen Yang, in order to pave the way for Guicheng in the future.

Speaking of this Empress Yang, Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay much attention to her before, thinking that she was just a harem woman, how much influence could she have on the government!

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan paid attention to this Empress Yang later was to start with Shi Miyuan's murder of Han Yanxuan with a hammer, Shi Miyuan had united with Empress Yang and got the support of Empress Yang before he dared to ambush Han Yanxuan, and dared to gather others to kill the most trusted minister in Ning Zong's eyes, it was impossible to have no ability.

Therefore, after Gao Huaiyuan entered Beijing, he asked Jia Qi to collect information about this Empress Yang through various channels and means, and after a check, he realized that he really underestimated this Empress Yang.

It turns out that this Empress Yang's name Yang Guizhi is from a very humble background, and her mother is just a female actor who sings in the palace music club, but this Empress Yang was beautiful and outstanding in her early years, and she was talented and good at composing poems.

Soon it was favored by the then Empress Dowager Wu, and became the maid of the Empress Dowager Wu, which made the Empress Dowager Wu like it very much, and later Zhao Kuo, who was still King Jia at the time, often went to the Empress Dowager Wu to walk around, and hooked up with the Yang family as soon as he came and went.

And Yang is actually five years older than Zhao Kuo, but she is thoughtful and very considerate, so that Zhao Kuo is very fond of her, and finally after Zhao Kuo ascended the throne and became the emperor, she was gradually promoted to the queen.

And Yang is by no means a simple character, she was just a concubine in the palace back then, and she was just a woman with no backing, whether it was age or *, she was at an absolute disadvantage, but she wanted to fight for the position of queen, and at that time, there was a concubine supported by Han Yanxuan to participate in the competition, which shows how difficult it is for her to successfully obtain the position of queen, but in the end she still used various means to achieve her goal, which shows what a powerful woman Yang is!

And it was precisely because of the competition for the queen in the harem at that time that he offended the Yang family to the extreme, planting the seeds for his future death.

Later, after the failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, Shi Miyuan asked Zhao Kuo many times, wanting to remove Han Yanxuan from his official position, and killed Han Yanxuan to calm the anger of the Jin people, but Zhao Kuo was indecisive, coupled with his favor to Han Yanzhou, and has been unwilling to agree, and finally Shi Miyuan secretly contacted Yang Cishan, who was very dissatisfied with Han Yanxuan, through Yang's privately recognized godbrother Yang Cishan, and Yang had a grudge against Han Yanxuan for obstructing his own sealing and had been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

The two hit it off, Yang not only wanted to call for wind and rain in the harem, but also wanted to intervene in the government, so she had to find her helper in the court, and finally she chose Shi Miyuan, determined to help Shi Miyuan get rid of Han Yanxuan.

Yang also has a sister, and later entered the palace as a concubine, the relationship between the two sisters is very good, her sister has a unique skill, that is, she writes a good hand, and can imitate the handwriting of the saint Zhao Kuo vividly, outsiders have no way to distinguish the true from the fake, so a fake edict was so freshly baked and sent to Shi Miyuan's hands.

In the end, Shi Miyuan used this fake edict to mobilize Xia Zhen, the official of the palace, to ambush Han Yanxuan's chariot battle at Liubu Bridge, and tied Han Yanxuan to Yujin Garden, and beat him to death with sticks.

Han Yanxuan died until he died, but he didn't expect that it was the Yang family who did something behind his back, and Zhao Kuo learned that Han Yanzhou was robbed, and he had to write an edict to pardon Han Yanzhou, and finally was stopped by Yang's crying persuasion, which was considered to have completely ruined Han Yanzhou's life, and then until Lin'an Mansion reported that Zhao Kuo and Han Yanzhou were dead, Zhao Kuo did not believe that this matter was true.

After listening to the information collected by Jia Qi, Gao Huaiyuan had to re-examine this girl surnamed Yang, no wonder it is said that the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, it seems that it is easy not to offend a woman, otherwise, an important minister like Han Yanxuan will die in vain, and end up being beaten to death, and his head will be sent to Jin Guo as a gift!

Gao Huaiyuan felt chilled when he thought about it, but after figuring out some things, he immediately thought of a plan to let Guicheng curry favor with Empress Yang.

Only then did he not hesitate to take out the treasure at the bottom of the box and hand it over to Guicheng to fight Queen Yang and win Queen Yang's support.

The result of his doing this is, of course, quite effective, Queen Yang, as the mother of a country, has never seen anything good! She had already tried these new things that had been on the market a few days ago, and she couldn't put down this kind of cream, which can rejuvenate the skin, and she liked the perfume that smelled intoxicating.

And these things that Guicheng gave her are even more superb, which makes Queen Yang like it very much, and even praises Guicheng's filial piety, and her attitude towards Guicheng is much better, and even specifically asks Guicheng where these things come from.

Guicheng naturally followed Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, saying that he sent someone to Mingzhou to buy it from the maritime merchants and dedicated it to the Yang family, which made Queen Yang very happy, and even praised Guicheng for being sensible.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan's method is very useful to Guicheng, Guicheng was very happy after receiving the praise of Queen Yang, and thanked Gao Huaiyuan many times for this, feeling that Gao Huaiyuan must have spent a lot of money to do these things for him, and he really wanted to repay Gao Huaiyuan something.

Gao Huaiyuan replied with a smile: "Master Hou doesn't have to thank me, I can go to Lin'an to be an official now, or thank Master Hou, this is just my thank you to you!" What's more, now I have more money, it's nothing to spend this money, as long as you can please the queen's mother, even if you spend more money, I won't be stingy! ”

In this way, Guicheng was even more grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, and secretly swore that one day if he had the opportunity, he would definitely repay Gao Huaiyuan for his kindness.
