The sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (151 BC)

It has been two years since the crown prince Liu Rong was canonized, and his biological mother, Madame Li, has repeatedly signaled the crown prince to ask Emperor Jing to put her on the throne of the empress. Helplessly, Emperor Jing seemed to deliberately forget about this matter, and he usually didn't mention it, and he didn't even come to the Zhaoyang Hall of the North Palace for a long, long time.

Queen Bo was the crown princess when Emperor Jing was the crown prince, and the Empress Dowager Bo at that time, that is, Emperor Jing's grandmother. Empress Bo's marriage was very unhappy, she went from the crown princess to the queen, and she was never favored by her husband and had no heirs.

In September of this year, Emperor Jing was ruthless and deposed Empress Bo, and the throne was vacant. Mrs. Li acted more and more unscrupulously and arrogantly, which aroused the criticism of many concubines.

After winter, Emperor Jing of Han, who has always been strong and strong, occasionally felt a cold. Originally, I thought it was just a minor illness, but after a few days of cultivation, it became more and more serious. In just over a month, he was already yellow and thin, and he was described as withered.

Emperor Jing of Han was half-lying on the bed, looking at the Empress Dowager Dou and Princess Guantao who came to visit the patient, cheered up and asked faintly: "Queen Mother, now the throne is vacant, the prince is still young, if I am ...... I'm afraid that the court will be unstable, can the queen mother look at Li Ji? ”

Empress Dowager Dou wept silently, seeing that her eldest son looked like she was explaining what was going on, she was so choked up for a while.

Princess Guantao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said coldly: "If Your Majesty wants to make Mrs. Li the queen, please make an order first, let the imperial sister and I and all the concubines be martyred for Your Majesty in the future!" ”

"Where did the imperial sister say this!" Emperor Jing was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help coughing loudly.

Empress Dowager Dou hurriedly patted Emperor Jing's back, helped him calm down, and scolded: "Scoop! Hugh is nonsense! ”

Princess Guantao looked at the Queen Mother with an angry face, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother knows why, why do you still talk nonsense about children?" Kuri Ji is jealous, who doesn't know? She has long hated me to the bone, and now that the queen mother and Her Majesty are sheltered, Li Ji still dares to humiliate me, and he said that the fate of the child can be imagined! ”

Seeing that Emperor Jing and the Queen Mother were silent, Princess Guantao snorted coldly and continued to shake the fierce material: "Li Ji believes in witchcraft, and every time she meets other favored concubines, she often asks the waiter to spit on them behind their backs to curse them. If Your Majesty goes, I don't know how many 'people' will appear in this palace. Does Your Majesty think so?! ”

Renbi is to chop off the limbs, gouge out the eyes, inject copper into the ears to make them deaf, pour medicine into the throat to cut off the tongue, destroy the vocal cords, and make it unable to speak. Then throw it in the toilet.

After the death of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu put Liu Bang's favorite concubine, Mrs. Qi, in the toilet and let her son Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty go to see it, which almost scared Emperor Hui Shengsheng. Since then, Emperor Hui no longer went to the court, and the government was all controlled by Empress Lu, and the Lu family called for wind and rain in the court, which was indispensable.

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Dou stood up, her eyes were red, and she slapped Princess Guantao fiercely, slapping her to the ground.

There is no way, Princess Guantao's words are a little excessive, and she has committed a big taboo. In case it gets out, it will definitely be an endless situation with Kurihime. If he says that Li Ji is the queen, once Guan Tao's accusation against the queen is confirmed, even the queen mother will not be able to protect her. Therefore, the queen mother's slap must be beaten, and it must be beaten very much, and it must be beaten to the emperor and those who have a heart.

Princess Guantao covered her swollen face, did not say anything, slowly stood up, stubbornly looked at Emperor Han Jing on the sickbed, her eyes were determined, and she did not let it go at all.

For a long time, Emperor Jing seemed to be stung by Princess Guantao's gaze, hurriedly looked away, slowly closed his eyes, and said with a painful face: "Queen Mother, Imperial Sister, I am tired and want to rest." ”

That night, Emperor Jing summoned Mrs. Li to Weiyang Palace to see the driver.

Looking at Mrs. Li, who was standing in front of the bed without saying a word, Emperor Jing let out a long sigh. When Emperor Jing was still the crown prince, Li Ji was very favored, and the two had a good time. She was Emperor Jing's first favorite concubine, and in the words of later generations, it was her first love. Emperor Jing's eldest son Liu Rong, second son Liu De, and third son Liu Yanyu were all born to Li Ji.

"Ai Fei, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it now, Rong'er is still young, I'm afraid I need Ai Fei to take care of it."

"Rong'er is the biological son of the concubine, and the concubine will do her best to protect him." Mrs. Li lowered her head, and the joy in her eyes was fleeting, and it was well hidden. didn't know that Emperor Jing, who had been secretly observing her with half-squinted eyes, was in full view.

Emperor Jing clenched his fists, tried to control his emotions, and said lightly: "Aifei, I still have something to ask for." ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Your Majesty's words, the concubines dare not obey." Mrs. Li sat on the bed and looked at Emperor Jing meekly.

Emperor Jing looked into her eyes and said very seriously: "After a hundred years, I hope you can treat other concubines and princes well." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li's face sank, and she gritted her teeth: "The concubine understands, and she will be measured." ”

"Doesn't Concubine Ai want to agree?" Emperor Jing heard her perfunctory meaning and asked.

Madame Li couldn't control her emotions anymore, and asked rhetorically, "How many days has Your Majesty not seen your concubine?" ”

Emperor Jing was silent, waiting for her to continue.

Mrs. Li laughed angrily: "Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't remember?" It's one hundred and twenty-three days a year! The concubine said that she missed it, and hoped that His Majesty would think of the concubine! Now I thought that His Majesty would summon his ministers and concubines to continue the love of the year, but who expected that it was still for those cheap maids to intercede! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how ruthless you are to your concubines! ”

Emperor Jing's eyes flashed with a cold light, he let go of his clenched fist, and sighed: "That's it, it's not right, it's up to you." I'm tired, go down and take good care of Rong'er. ”

Seeing Emperor Jing's face full of sorrow, Mrs. Li also felt a little regretful and unbearable in her heart. She opened her mouth to say something, but saw that Emperor Jing had closed her eyes, so she had to reluctantly leave the dormitory.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the Hongning Hall has been a little gloomy.

"Sister, what Princess Guantao said is true? Does Your Majesty really want to ordain Madame Li as the queen? Wang Erji's face was full of nervousness, and she kept walking back and forth, "What can we do in the future?" ”

"Don't be nervous, a few days ago, Mrs. Li went to Weiyang Palace to see Your Majesty, and it is said that her face was extremely bad when she came back, thinking that she had touched a nail." Wang Wan comforted her, but there was also a faint worry between her eyebrows.

"Even if Mrs. Li is not the queen now, in the future, in the future, after a hundred years of Your Majesty, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and she will definitely be the queen mother. According to her surname, not only will we be unlucky, but I am afraid that your children and my children will not be able to please them! ”

Wang Wan rubbed her forehead, and had to admit that Wang Erjiao's worries were correct, and sighed: "Now I can only hope that Your Majesty can survive this catastrophe." ”

"Mother and aunt don't need to worry too much, my father will be cured soon." Liu Yu couldn't bear to let Sister Wang Wan be so troubled, so he had to persuade him.

"Oh? Why did you say this? Wang Wan waved her hand to stop Wang Erjiao, who wanted to speak, and asked seriously.

"My father has been in poor health for more than two months, and it is obviously not an emergency, but is it?"

"Yes, emergencies come and go quickly." Wang Wan nodded.

"My father said that although his health has not improved recently, he has not seen any aggravation, but has he not?"

"Yes, it really hasn't worsened."

"Since it is not an emergency, and it has not been aggravated, there is no need to worry about sudden death, why is my father still so urgent, and there are so many actions in a few days?"

"I guess it's not too much to make some arrangements in advance?" Wang Wan seemed to have thought of something, but she was still a little confused.

Liu Yu shook his head, and had no choice but to make his words clear. Anyway, they are all their own people, and they are not afraid of taboos: "If the father wants to support the orphan, why only call the queen. The palace people, don't summon important ministers of the court? Isn't it putting the cart before the horse? ”

Wang Wan trembled and lost her voice: "You mean ......"

Liu Yu looked at her seriously and nodded firmly: "Thinking about coming to this place, Mrs. Li's family has already moved." She was originally from a big family, and she couldn't hide the movements above the court. Mother still asked Uncle Tian Wei not to act rashly, and Princess Guantao also needed to be appeased. ”

Wang Wan thought of the key point, her back was full of cold sweat, but she believed her son's speculation.

Wang Erjiao on the side looked at the mother and son playing dumb riddles with some confusion, and did not interrupt soundly, but looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Xiao Liu Yu a little strangely.

Wang Wan didn't say anything more, and hurriedly called her personal maid and explained carefully. It wasn't until a long time later that the maid reported that everything was stopped, and then she put down the big stone in her heart and waited for the show to be staged.

Although in the eyes of others, Liu Yu is a naughty little scoundrel. But Wang Wan knows his son better than everyone else, he is only more than six years old, but he often gives Wang Wan a very stable feeling. Mess around when it's time to mess around, but never out of line. has been doted on by the Queen Mother and Emperor Jing since he was a child, but he is not arrogant, domineering, and even has a good relationship with the eunuchs and palace maids around him.

And all kinds of gadgets he made, others regard them as children's temporary playfulness. But if you think about it, what kind of game doesn't require rules?

Speaking of the stove and pankang for heating, others thought that the drawings were drawn by Wang Huan, but in fact, she just redrew a copy of the drawings drawn by Liu Yu. Liu Yu also drew a lot of more complex ones at first, and a few drawings can express an artifact very intuitively. After Wang Huan showed surprise and appreciation, Liu Yu actually tore up all those drawings and redrew a simplified version for Wang Huan to redraw.

It was this simplified version of the picture, and after those craftsmen got their hands on it, they also showed a look like they had found a treasure. From that time on, Wang Wan knew that her son was not simple, and even deliberately hidden.

At first, Wang Wan was a little unacceptable, a four-year-old child was so scheming. But with careful observation in the past two years, Wang Wan has become more and more sure of her judgment, but she tacitly did not say it to her face.

No matter how wicked Liu Yu is, he is always his son. Born in the imperial family, demons are always much stronger than idiots. If it weren't for Liu Yu's help in analyzing this time, I am afraid that I would not be able to grasp this great opportunity.

Wang Wan made up her mind to pay attention, she had to discuss with her son more in the future, her crazy sister couldn't count on it at all, and it was always good for multiple people to help analyze and analyze.
