Only a few days later, someone heard from Honggong that the emperor had found the old sword, which was in Shang Guanli's old mansion. Under the impetus of Honggong, this matter quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, saying that today he is not even willing to throw away an old sword, and he is really a saint who values feelings. Of course, this matter also quickly spread to the Huo family.

Huo Guang was depressed at home and found it difficult to relax. Huo Xiandao: "Could it be that Liu Ying really wants to make that folk pariah the queen?" She already has a son, so won't she have to be a prince in the future, no, no, what should we do with Jun'er! ”

Huo Guang was also very irritable, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he said after a while: "It seems that the only way to let the Empress Dowager come forward again." The Empress Dowager is Shangguan, and after she ascended the throne due to illness, she was "promoted" from the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager.

Huo Guang didn't know that the Empress Dowager had been locked up in the palace for a long time, and suddenly a girl of the same age as Pingjun came, and the two had to meet almost every day. The Empress Dowager didn't talk much before, but since Pingjun came, she talked more, and her face slowly became ruddy, and the Empress Dowager especially liked Pingjun to tell her about folk things, she saw Pingjun's simplicity and purity, and she also hoped that she could fly out of this deep palace compound like a bird, go to the folk to see the fireworks, taste the barbecue in Pingjun's mouth, and feel the feeling of truly falling in love with a man.

On this day, when the Empress Dowager heard about the old sword, she clamored for Pingjun to take the sword, played with it carefully in her hand, and said: "I really envy you, you can give a piece of your heart to your favorite person at the best age." ”

Ping Jun was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be sad when she thought of the old things, so she hurriedly said: "It's just a child's game, nothing good." Let's go fishing together. As soon as the words fell, someone said: "The Empress Dowager is happy for a long time, and the general Huo Guang is here." ”

Pingjun said: "When the general is here, there must be important state affairs, so Sun Chen should avoid it." The Empress Dowager arranged for Pingjun to enter the inner room.

After greeting him, Huo Guang said: "The Empress Dowager, the ministers will be with the ministers of the court and the central government to select the harem for the Son of Heaven, and there is a roster, which will be submitted to the Empress Dowager for decision. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "This matter is still up to the Son of Heaven to decide, after all, it is his own business." ”

Huo Guangdao: "This matter is the ancestral system, and such major matters should be decided by the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to take it and saw a string of names neatly written on the red silk, with a family history and a proposed title behind each name.

The Empress Dowager doesn't know anyone, but there are a few she knows, the first is Huo Chengjun, the second is Xu Pingjun, the two of them are both Jieyu, and Zhang Jingshu and the folk woman Wang Ruyi, who are often mentioned by Pingjun, are also Jieyu, it seems that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and them is not ordinary. The Empress Dowager didn't know any of the other Zhaoyi, beauties, etc., so she didn't care. Just asked, "Is there anything to say about who is the first in line?" Pingjun is the wife of the Son of Heaven, and the mourning family thinks that Pingjun is still written in the first place. ”

Huo Guangdao: "What the Empress Dowager said is extremely true, then change it according to your meaning." "Actually, Huo Guang just wanted to give the Empress Dowager a set, first make both of them Jieyu, let Chengjun enter the palace and Xu Pingjun to achieve the same status first, and then use means to operate, so he deliberately wrote Pingjun in front of him, so that the Empress Dowager didn't pay attention to this matter.

"Also," the Empress Dowager said again: "This title matter, the mourning family thinks it is still empty, let the Son of Heaven decide for himself, I have agreed to the list, but if the Son of Heaven needs to add or delete, the mourning family will not ask." ”

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, how could this little girl get smarter and smarter, and she was taught badly by that Xiahou Sheng! Then he said: "This is only written here, and everything is still decided by the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Okay, let's go and talk to the Son of Heaven again, the mourning family has nothing to say, as long as the Son of Heaven is satisfied." ”

Huo Guang saw that he couldn't get anything from the Empress Dowager, he was anxious, and wanted to simply say his thoughts directly, the Empress Dowager was still a child after all, maybe he was frightened by him all of a sudden, thinking like this, he unconsciously glanced to the side, and saw a wooden sword on several cases, so he said: "Empress Dowager, this wooden sword came from nowhere, can you take a look?" ”

The Empress Dowager's heart was tight, and she forgot to ask Pingjun to put away the sword, so she had to say: "The mourning family heard that the Son of Heaven was looking for the old sword, so they asked Pingjun to bring it to see, but she forgot it here and wanted to send someone to send it over." This is the private property of the Son of Heaven, so don't look at it general. ”

Huo Guang was very annoyed in his heart, it turned out that this Xu Pingjun had already come to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, he really underestimated this woman, but said without moving: "Oh, since it is the private property of the Son of Heaven, the minister will not look at it." The old minister has retired! ”

Huo Guang slowly withdrew, squinted the maids in the hall with his eyes, and found that no one dared to look up at him, so he shook his sleeves and left with an angry "hum".

Pingjun came out of the inner room and said, "I'm scared to death, I'm most afraid of the general." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "What is there to be afraid of, the general is fierce, but he is dedicated to the country." Do you want to know what just happened? ”

Pingjun said: "Don't, don't tell me, otherwise it will become an interference in the government and politics, and you will be scolded when you are sick." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Pingjun so cute, without a little scheming, she was really afraid that she would be calculated in the future, and she couldn't help but leak sad eyes.

Pingjun said: "The Empress Dowager, is Sun Chen rude?" ”

The Empress Dowager said: "No, no, we are sisters when there is no one else, and I will be sad when you see someone like this." ”

Pingjun said: "Then why is my sister unhappy." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The things in this palace are really complicated. ”

Pingjun said: "So I don't care, I can't take care of it, I'll just be responsible for relieving your boredom." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "You, you, I'm afraid that if you don't want to take care of it, others will also take care of you, but don't worry, I will protect you stupid girl with all my strength." ”

Pingjun said: "Haha, if you laugh, that's good, I like everyone to be lively and happy together." ”

When the list was handed to the sick man, the sick had already looked at it, except for the first Pingjun, the third and fourth Jingshu and Ruyi, and their eyes were full of ministers. The illness has also understood in his heart, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are like women, it is estimated that everyone knows in their hearts, and they are all fighting to please Huo Guang and Shaofu Le Cheng, Huo Guang will definitely kick the ball to Le Cheng, Le Cheng is estimated to be able to weigh carefully in the middle, no one dares to offend, and it is difficult to figure out what Huo Guang means, so he doesn't care who the other people are. He only said: "I only have one thing, that is, the matter after the establishment, let's talk about it!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty didn't expect the Son of Heaven to mention this stubble again, and they didn't know what to do. Huo Guang was also very annoyed, the emperor was obviously forcing himself, and he was unwilling to answer for a while.

Seeing that the illness was silent, he said again: "Le Aiqing, you are the head of the company, what do you think?" ”

Le Cheng asked him, glanced at Huo Guang, and saw that his face was pale, and he knelt down in fright and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the matter in the future can be slowed down for a while." ”

The illness was already annoyed, and he suppressed his voice and said, "Why? Is there any definite statement? ”

Le Cheng couldn't answer, only said: "This, this, this ......"

Other people have long known about the old sword that the emperor said, and they have all figured out the taste from it, and the emperor wants to make Xu Pingjun the queen. But they also heard from the Huo family that the Huo family wanted to make Huo Chengjun the queen, and neither of these two sides could be offended, except for Le Cheng, the court didn't know what he was talking about, and there was a dead silence.
