Chapter 373: Black Cauldron

In Changle Palace, the queen mother was furious, and the palace maids and waiters were so frightened that they didn't even dare to gasp, for fear of annoying the queen mother, and they were beaten for nothing.

"Go and get that Liang Xiao for me." The Queen Mother's face was pale, and her eyes were full of fire. She glared at Tian Wei fiercely. "What are you crying, look at your little breath. was bullied by a small cavalry lieutenant, and he still had the face to cry. ”

"Sister...... Tian Wei cried even louder, wiping her tears while secretly looking at the Queen Mother from between her fingers. I won't be the prime minister anymore, and I don't want this Wu'an Hou anymore, I'll go to my sister's palace to be a langzhong, and accompany my sister every day, so as not to let my sister be bullied. ”

"Who can bully me?" The Queen Mother was angry and funny. "Alright, alright, stop crying. When you come, you look ugly, and when you cry, you get even uglier. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Tian Wei saw it, he didn't care about fake crying, he pouted, and looked like he was crying. When the Queen Mother saw it, she quickly put away her smile. "Alright, alright, sister, let's joke with her. Later, when the Son of Heaven comes, I will teach him a good lesson and let him drive that Liang Xiao away. ”

"It's better to kill him." Tian Wei said: "This untouchable actually wants to make friends with Lord Huainan Weng, it is really unbelievable. ”

The Queen Mother frowned. "Lord Huainan Weng, you should really think about it. You are studying Confucianism, and the king of Huainan is good at Huang Lao, can you talk about going together? The Son of Heaven is annoyed with you, but there is no reason for this. When the old queen mother was here, we had no choice but to marry him, and now the old queen mother is rotten bones, why do you bother yourself. ”

Tian Wei argued unconvinced: "I want to marry Liu Ling, not Liu An." Liu Ling not only has double-sided brocade in his hand. There are also glasses and clairvoyance. That's a lot of money. Sister. Think about it, after she withdrew from Chang'an, how much did the double-sided brocade rise? "Tian Wei flashed with greed." Besides, if I can't marry, then a pariah can? ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "He also deserves it?" As a rule, only the liehous are qualified to be the lord of Shang Weng, and I don't let him be made a marquis to see how he marries Liu Ling. Hey. Why hasn't the Son of Heaven come yet? ”

Tian Wei looked at the sky outside and felt a little strange. The person who delivered the edict has been gone for a long time, and the Son of Heaven has not yet appeared, what is going on? Could it be that the Son of Heaven doesn't even care about the Queen Mother?

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. Tian Wei's heart was excited, and he cried loudly at the top of his throat. Just cried twice, the Queen Mother shouted: "Don't be rude in front of the queen, and don't retreat." ”

Tian Wei opened his eyes and saw that it was not the Son of Heaven who came, but the queen Chen Ajiao. Suddenly felt faceless, and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve. Retreated. The Queen Mother also felt that her face was gloomy, glanced at Chen Ajiao, and said casually: "Why is the queen free today, you haven't been to Changle Palace for some days?" ”

Chen Ajiao was very embarrassed. After the death of the Empress Dowager, Changle Palace changed owners, and the Empress Dowager's majesty soared, and she did not come for some days. What can you do when you come, look at the face of the Queen Mother? When the Empress Dowager was still there, the Empress Dowager was the most gentle, but as soon as the Empress Dowager died, she immediately changed into a person and could no longer be close.

"What the Queen Mother blames is that Gillian neglected to greet her, and she should indeed be punished."

"Who said they were going to punish you?" The Queen Mother tugged at the corners of her mouth. "I didn't come when I should have come, but I didn't come, I'm afraid I didn't pass by, right?"

Chen Ajiao's head hung lower. "Yes, the Son of Heaven heard that the Queen Mother beckoned each other and didn't dare to come, so let me explain it to the Queen Mother. He said that the things in the harem are still easier to talk about between women and women. ”

The Queen Mother's face was even more ugly. The Son of Heaven didn't come to Changle Palace, but went to Jiaofang Palace to let the queen intercede, what does this mean? The queen mother is not as good as the queen? There was an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

"Really? Then you judge the theory, whose fault is it? ”

Chen Ajiao stammered: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, where will I say anything, just convey the words of the Son of Heaven." He said that the Empress Dowager passed away, there were a lot of problems, and the government was busy, and he took Wu'anhou as his minister, originally out of the righteousness of pro-family and virtuous, and hoped that Wu'anhou could do his best to help. However, Wu Anhou did not sympathize with his hard work, and did not discuss anything with him, but discussed it privately with others......"

Listening to Chen Ajiao's explanations that did not match the preamble, the Queen Mother slowly frowned. She looked at Chen Ajiao, anger burned in her eyes, the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily, but she had to squeeze out a few smiles on her face, pretending to be kind and gentle. She comforted Chen Ajiao a few words, and left her for a while to say insincere and considerate words, and then let Chen Ajiao go out.

As soon as Chen Ajiao left, the Queen Mother called Tian Wei out and scolded her head and face.

"Do you know where your wealth comes from? Of the brothers, you are the most learned. I asked the Son of Heaven to regard you as the prime minister, and I also hope that you, as an uncle, can help him. It's good that you not only didn't help, but dismantled his platform, why is that? Do you have to force him to get rid of you and let Dou Ying be the prime minister? ”

Tian Wei was behind the scenes just now, and he could already hear it clearly, but he didn't dare to distinguish it at the moment, so he had to pinch his nose and endure it.

The Queen Mother was tired of scolding, gasped for a while, and said: "What is going on with that Liang Xiao, why does the Son of Heaven value him so much, and he actually does not hesitate to use the queen to remind me." ”

Tian Wei squeaked and couldn't speak. It's not that he doesn't know anything about Liang Xiao, but when he told the Queen Mother these words, he was afraid that he would be scolded again. Although the empress dowager is dead, the queen has no backer and has lost her majesty. But the queen is the queen after all, and the strength of the Dou family and the Chen family is by no means comparable to the Wang family. If you really want to force the Son of Heaven to be in a hurry, reusing the people of the queen's family is by no means good news for the queen mother.

Seeing that Tian Wei didn't say anything, the Queen Mother was even more annoyed. She poked Tian Wei's head fiercely. "Do you remember that Mrs. Dou mainly killed Wei Qing? Are you trying to force me to disagree with the Son of Heaven, mother and son, so that outsiders can take advantage of it? ”

Tian Wei was shocked, and hurriedly fell to the ground, holding the queen mother's leg and begging bitterly.

", go back and reflect on yourself." The Queen Mother kicked him. "As for Liang Xiao, let it go, there is a time to clean him up. No matter how useful people are, there will be a time when they run out. is just a pariah, can he be more capable than Chao Cuo and Zhou Yafu? ”

——

The queen left Changle Palace, entered the east gate of Weiyang Palace, went south along the east-west avenue, at the crossroads, and was about to turn north and return to her Jiaofang Palace, when she suddenly moved and ordered: "Go to the front hall." ”

The palace people were puzzled, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they drove to the front hall. The queen stopped the car, but did not get out. "Get Liang Xiao."

The palace people didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went to His Royal Highness's house, asked two Lang officials, and found Liang Xiao who was on duty. Hearing that the queen wanted to see him, Liang Xiao was confused. He hadn't had much to do with this Queen Gillian. However, he quickly remembered one thing: Dongfang Shuo told him that Mrs. Dou had once looked for his old lady Liang Yuan, and it seemed that she had helped him with something.

Could it be that for this reason the queen came to me for help? This is not easy to do, this queen can't have children, and she is destined to die. In a few years, Wei Zifu gave birth to a son, and it was time for her to withdraw from the stage, and she pulled a bunch of backers when she was dying.

It's understandable to burn the cold stove, and if you burn the stove to death, isn't that incompatible with your future?

Although reluctant, Liang Xiao still came to the queen's car and bowed down.

The queen lifted the curtain, looked at Liang Xiao from the gap, and couldn't help nodding. Whether it is appearance or figure, Liang Xiao is the kind of person that the Son of Heaven likes, tall and strong, full of vitality, like a newborn calf, revealing a momentum.

Compared with Wei Qing, Yan Zhu and others, Liang Xiao still has a unique temperament. She can't tell what kind of temperament it is, but it's really attractive. The Son of Heaven is employing people, and it is reasonable to prefer Liang Xiao, a young man who is rich and noble, and dares to do things.

"Liang Xiao, you have to do things for Your Majesty with your heart, and don't live up to Your Majesty's wishes." After Chen Ajiao finished speaking, she lowered the curtain of the car, ordered to turn around the car, and went back to the Jiaofang Palace.

After Liang Xiao watched the queen leave in confusion, he didn't react for a long time. What does the queen mean by saying this sentence without a beginning or an end?

Mei Gao passed by the corridor and happened to see Liang Xiao in a daze. He followed Liang Xiao's gaze, and saw the queen's Luan car turn into the Jiaofang Hall from a distance, and was startled, and hurriedly ran to Liang Xiao's side and pulled him aside.

"Liang Xiao, what's wrong with you? Don't look at indecency, how can you look at the queen casually? ”

Liang Xiao told him what he had just done. Mei Gao frowned slightly. "Do you know where the queen came from?"

Liang Xiao shook his head again and again. When he was called, the queen's car was already parked here, and he didn't know where the queen came from.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll ask." Mei Gao said: "Remember, the palace is no better than other places, don't walk around, don't look around." Especially where there are female dependents, we should pay more attention to avoid falling into the hands of others. ”

Liang Xiao answered, returned to his post, and his heart went up and down. Not long after the next duty, Mei Gao came, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "Ah Xiao, you have such a big face, and the queen of labor actually went to intercede for you." ”

"The queen intercedes for me?"

Mei Gao recounted what he had heard. "Be careful, Tian Wei is a villain. The Son of Heaven blames him because of you, and he does not dare to do anything to the Son of Heaven, and he will definitely take revenge on you. When I go to Changle Palace today, I am afraid that I want to ask the Queen Mother to come forward to rectify you. The Son of Heaven has recently had a lot of disputes with the Queen Mother because of Tian Wei's affairs, so he had to ask the Queen to come forward. ”

Mei Gao said, blinking. Liang Xiao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but scold Liu Che for being insidious. What's going on? Obviously, he has an opinion on Tian Wei, and he wants to embarrass Tian Wei, why do you want to pull me? I'm really wronged by this black pot, and in turn I owe favors to others.

Liang Xiao thought of the fate of the prime ministers of the Emperor Wu Dynasty, and couldn't help but sympathize with Tian Weilai. This uncle is the biggest backbiter. The Son of Heaven asked him to be the prime minister, which should not hinder the face of the queen mother, but it is more likely that he wants to attack the prime minister, and deliberately use the uncle as a demonstration. If even Uncle Guo has cleaned it up, what will the others do?

This palace is really not a place for people to stay, no wonder Dongfang Shuo wants to go to the Western Regions. In the Western Regions, it's okay for him to hook up with the Wusun clan, and here, if you look at it more, you may endure the disaster of killing.

Liang Xiao shuddered, and couldn't help but miss the good life in Dawan-
