Mrs. Liu was pale and pale and knelt beside Liu Ge Lao's lap, crying and shouting to stop Liu Ge Lao.

"He is the eldest son, and if you kill him, who will set up the door for you in the future? You beat him because you don't have me in your eyes, I want who married you when you were down, it's me! ”

Liu Ge Lao fought for a long time, but he couldn't move, and was stopped by his wife, so he simply put the board aside, and sat on the chair in despair and wept.

Aunt Bai Liu's family saw that a few aunts were snickering, and said with a cold face: "Let's all go down, will you just stare and stare when you stand here?" ”

Hearing that the aunt and grandmother drove away, several aunts reluctantly left. The room suddenly became empty.

Bai Liu's family helped Liu Dagongzi, wiped his tears, and coaxed: "Tell your father how to use these 300,000 taels." ”

Liu Dagongzi was frightened and beaten, and he didn't dare to hide a word, but he still whispered, and said intermittently: "Three top girls, one person has 10,000 taels of silver a night, a total of ten days, isn't it 300,000 taels." ”

When Lord Liu heard that it was money for wine, he was even more angry, and he jumped up and went to pick up the board and beat him, but was stopped by his sister Bai Liu and said: "Brother, don't be angry, ask carefully, the child is willing to say, in case someone else blackmails, we can also report to the official." ”

"Auntie, don't get involved, if you hadn't been angry at the teacher's family and instigated my mother and my father to join Shi Zhongyuan, I wouldn't have been able to fall to this point."

Bai Liu's family was kind enough to intercede for his nephew, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Liu Dagongzi, and his body was so angry that he pointed to Liu Dagongzi and said: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." I pleaded for you, but you bit me back. ”

The Bai Liu clan hated and was angry with this nephew, and there was nothing they could do.

"Your aunt is right! 300,000 taels? Could it be that someone is blackmailing you? ”

Young Master Liu could endure his father's violent beating of himself, but he couldn't tolerate his father's doubts about his IQ, so he raised his face and said impatiently: "What kind of blackmail, the old bustard is afraid that I won't be able to take out the silver, and he also wiped out my money for wine and food, and no one cares about a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Liu Ge Lao looked at this uncompetitive son, and really wanted to die headlong, he thought he was a wise man, but he didn't expect to feed a complete loser.

"You look at the good son you gave birth to, three hundred thousand taels, and erased one thousand taels. People took him as the wronged leader, and he rushed to thank them. Liu Ge sat on the chair and said with tears in his eyes.

"The one surnamed Wang, hasn't he already sent the 300,000 taels, what is the master worried about?" Mrs. Liu also cried with tears in her eyes.

Liu Ge laughed at himself and said: "The wool is out of the sheep, maybe it's a set made by someone else, pulling this beast into the game." Lao Tzu's fate made this living animal ruined. ”

"Even if the son is at fault, the master should also respect himself, you scold him for being a living animal, so what are you and me? Since the money has been spent. The lord should also be discouraged. Mrs. Liu said with a handful of snot and tears.

"The sky won't drop pies in vain, maybe I have to use this life to pay back the 300,000 taels!"

With the support of his mother and aunt, Liu Dagongzi straightened his neck and said: "Daddy, don't always think so badly of others, Master Wang really wants to make friends with Daddy, as long as Daddy gives face, we don't have to pay back the 300,000 taels." ”

"You fart!" Lord Liu was really forced to be anxious, Liu Ge Lao, who has always called himself a member of Confucius, never said any foul language, but was forced to swear by his own son.

"Daddy, you are a person who reads sage books, how can you open your mouth to be a brute and close your mouth and fart, Daddy has taught us to cultivate our family since childhood, Daddy ......" Eldest Prince Liu stood behind Mrs. Liu and said to Elder Liu.

Before Liu Dagongzi finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Liu Ge's old scolding: "Get out, go to death, where is it far, where is it going to die!" ”

Prince Liu couldn't wait to slip away as soon as possible, stepped out of the hall with one foot, and didn't forget to turn his head and say: "Daddy hurry up and contact the minister, Master Wang is still waiting for Daddy's good news!" ”

Liu Ge Lao picked up the feather duster and threw it directly towards the door, "Get out, get out!" ”

The old family of Liuge is restless, and all parts of the capital are also busy.

The holy drive back to Luan, and the triumph of the southern expeditionary army, the entire capital, as if to be reborn, solemnly welcomed the grand event of the first year of Wan'an.

The ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have long been turned on their backs. The commander of the nine gates, the soldiers of the five cities all went to the streets to clean, the water washed the ground, and the loess paved the road.

Idle people from all walks of life, small traders and hawkers who set up stalls everywhere to sell, drove away early to clean up and vacate the venue.

All kinds of instrumental chimes were carried to the South City Gate Tower on the eighteenth day of the first month. Just to play music on the nineteenth day of the first month to welcome the emperor's royal drive and the soldiers who returned from the southern expedition triumphantly.

From Ziwei Shrine to the south gate of the capital, all the way is full of lights and beaming. On the brand-new lantern, the framed paste has not yet dried, and the fresh colored paper blooms with dazzling brilliance in the cold wind.

The Chinese military officials of the dynasty freshened up and changed their clothes as early as the fifth day, waited in their respective positions, and personally greeted the emperor and General He.

The civil and military officials, who were hungry and cold, waited in the cold wind all morning, and it was not until ten o'clock at noon that they saw the banner of the imperial car from a distance.

More than a dozen leading eunuchs hurriedly came over, dismounted and knelt in front of Prince Gong and the official Shangshu, and said respectfully: "The imperial driver has crossed the Nanxiao River, and you can reach the Nancheng Gate in half an hour." ”

Prince Gong was overjoyed and shouted at the city gate: "Play music, play music!" ”

The auspicious ceremonial music of the prosperous era came out of the city gate tower melodiously, and the civil and military officials tidied up their clothes and crowns, knelt on the ground neatly, and greeted the emperor in person.

Prince Zhuang also got up from the chair, stood behind Prince Gong, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, I heard that the emperor did not go to greet He You'an in person this time, but found Princess Rong." ”

Prince Gong nodded cautiously and said softly: "Seventh Uncle, my nephew doesn't hide it from you, and my nephew only found out about it three days ago, and the palace has been hiding it to the death." ”

"The Queen Mother is probably also afraid of chaos, so she didn't tell us."

"Hey, it's been a few days, and it's probably going to be chaotic for a while. When my nephew thought about it for the past two days, his brain hurt. ”

Prince Zhuang smiled, patted Prince Gong's shoulder and said, "My nephew." What's so bothering about this? ”

"Princess Rong is the main wife, and the current queen is a concubine, can this not be a headache?"

"Hey, everything depends on the emperor's mind, who the emperor lets be the queen, that's the emperor's family matter, we can't follow it. Unless the Queen Mother and the Emperor think differently, let's reconcile it. Don't tell anyone else. ”

Prince Gong nodded cautiously, put it next to Prince Zhuang's cheek and said: "Seventh Uncle's words, my nephew understands, my nephew is afraid that the emperor and the queen mother will think differently, and we will still have to be embarrassed by both sides when the time comes." ”

Prince Zhuang smiled faintly, pulled Prince Gong to take a step forward, and said softly: "The queen mother is the emperor's mother, and the mother will not embarrass her son, as long as we don't follow and cause trouble." ”

"Does Uncle Seven mean to support Princess Rong?"

After Prince Zhuang looked left and right, he nodded, and whispered: "Do you think that the emperor can go thousands of miles away to greet Princess Rong in person, can this friendship be compared to the queen?" The two of them are married couples, and today's queen is to put it bluntly, she is a house-filler, one respectful and one humble, who doesn't count it in her heart! ”

Prince Gong listened to Prince Zhuang's openness and honesty, and also quietly said his worries. "Seventh uncle, my nephew has heard that there are people in the capital in tandem in the past two days."

"Tandem what?"

"It seems to be against the emperor and deposing the queen."

Prince Zhuang frowned and said, "Isn't this a dog meddling with a mouse!" ”

"Seventh uncle, you can't say that, the emperor's family affairs are also state affairs, I heard that the leader is Liu Ge Lao, who has contacted hundreds of officials, as long as the emperor is abolished, they will resist to the end!"

"Is someone looking for you?" Prince Zhuang asked.

Prince Gong nodded a little unnaturally, and then said, "But my nephew hasn't said anything yet." ”

Prince Zhuang grabbed Prince Gong again and said: "Nephew, you are the third brother's blood and bones, although your father and I are not born to the same mother, but the seventh uncle watched you grow up, the iron hat on your head is not easy, do you think who gave it to you?" ”

"It's the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Prince Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "This iron hat was given to you by the Queen Mother on behalf of the public, although it was originally your father's, but if the Queen Mother doesn't help, can you easily become Prince Gong?" ”

Prince Gong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Seven, my nephew's heart is much brighter." ”

"Second brother, the Queen Mother is kind to you, you have been raised in the palace since you were a child, the Queen Mother pulled you to grow up, my uncle can see clearly, the Queen Mother has never treated you badly, you can't follow others to coax. Cause chaos for the Queen Mother and the Emperor! ”

"My nephew knows."

"Others are causing chaos to the Queen Mother, we can't, we are relatives of the Queen Mother, and we have to help the Queen Mother."

"Seventh uncle, now my nephew alone knows that one or two hundred officials have agreed to sign a joint name, which is not trivial, do we want to breathe with the Queen Mother?"

Prince Zhuang nodded and said, "Today's banquet in the palace, let's take an opportunity to mention it to the Queen Mother." ”

The uncle and nephew were still waiting for the banquet to discuss the matter with the Queen Mother, and the turmoil was staged without warning before the banquet.

From the South City Gate to Ziwei Shrine, the road is unimpeded. The turmoil occurred in front of the newly built Ziwei Gate.

The emperor abandoned the car and took the public opinion, and everyone saw that there was still a woman sitting in the royal car.

Although Liu Ge Lao knew that he was being used as a pawn, the situation was pressing, and he had to be someone else's pawn.

Wanying stood behind the emperor and saw the legendary Liu Ge Lao for the first time. Looking at the old face like dead tree bark, I can't wait to rush over and tear it apart.

"Your Majesty, Ziwei Gate is a symbol of the majesty of the Great Zhou Emperor, ordinary women cannot enter the palace from Ziwei Gate, please allow the emperor to let the female relatives change to the Zhenshun Gate."

"Old Liu Ge, this is my wife, not an ordinary woman."

Liu Ge Lao took a group of civil servants, swore to kneel in front of Ziwei Gate, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Except for the emperor in the world, no woman can enter the palace from Ziwei Gate." ”

Prince Gong stood aside and teased: "Elder Liu Ge, this is not appropriate, according to our "Great Zhou Huidian", the emperor is married, and the queen can enter the palace from Ziwei Gate?" ”
