Chapter 21: The Waves
Regarding Lou's troublesome Kou Helan, Emperor Gao Liu Bang was very angry. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, Mao Dun took advantage of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han War to pass through Henan in a row, and recaptured the Hetao area that was originally guarded by Meng Tian, and subdued Baiyang and Lou Fu, making it two tribes in the south of the Xiongnu River, and obeying the orders of the Xiongnu at any time.
This time, Lou Fuda dared to be stationed in Helan County, and he must have the backing of the Huns. And Helan is located in the north of today's Yinchuan, and Loufu is located in the northwest of today's Shanxi Province, Ningwu, Qilan, Baode area, the two places are not connected, and are separated by the Yellow River, separated by a long distance. Compared with Yulin, one is in the northeast and the other is in the southwest, how could Lou Fu go to Kouhelan County?
Liu Bang remembered that Liu Jing had said that after hearing that the Han family allowed the Xiongnu to move to Jiuyuan County for a year, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but only said on the day that Liu Jing was about to return to the court, "From now on, Han and Hun will be brother countries".
What are the facts? Did Liu Lu take the initiative to tell his identity? Judging from his observation of Liu Lu for a few days, he doesn't think it is like it, Liu Bang knows that Liu Lu is subject to the queen and holds her family in her hands, and she will not dare to reveal her true identity, so as to make the Huns' people attack the Han family. Is it Sallinger? It seems unlikely, Sha Ling'er likes the Han family, likes peace, seems to be a trustworthy princess, she is passionate and reverent of life, she must not be Sha Ling'er.
Liu Bang paced around in the front hall for an afternoon, his eyebrows tightly locked, and he couldn't guess what the reason was. Just when he was annoyed, Zhao Yao, the imperial history of Fuxi, had just come back from outside the palace to meet the emperor, and learned from the mouths of the eunuchs why the emperor was worried, so he stepped forward and pointed out a way to Liu Bang, "Why don't you send an envoy to infiltrate Loufu and the Xiongnu to find out the facts?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Bang's eyes lit up and suddenly understood from his sluggishness, and he slapped his head with a 'snap', blaming himself for not being calm enough. So he hurriedly called a few scouts and carefully instructed them to go abroad, so they changed their clothes and went to the Huns and Loufu to check the situation.
The ministers were busy with the relocation of the Kwantung people, and the emperor was not only busy with this matter, but also suffered from the matter of Kou Helan, who was troubled by Lou, so he couldn't take care of the affairs of the harem well, and he didn't even pay attention to what happened in the harem in the past few days.
In the past few days, Queen Lu Pheasant has been busy with three things in secret. The first is to find out where Liu Jingren is, and he has always been thinking about Liu Jing's private meeting with the prince when he returned to the court, and he must ask him clearly; the second is to inquire about my brother's recent situation to see if he has gone out in the past few days, and whether anyone has gone to the Houfu; The third is to secretly send someone to check the details of the woman in Beiyuan, and ask someone to check the reactions of the ladies and beauties of each palace to the woman in Beiyuan.
The visitor reported to Lu Hou that Liu Jing was busy with the affairs of the migrants, and he still closed his door and refused to visit. The most important thing is the last news, she didn't know that the woman in Beiyuan was brought back from Han Xin's mansion when Liu Bang went to visit Han Xin, and after bringing it back, the emperor was afraid that he would get involved with other concubines, so he left the little maid in Han Xin's mansion in the front hall to do things. But Liu Bang is not Liu Xia Hui, looking at the fresh woman outside the palace, the passion of the lingering woman in her heart swelled up all of a sudden, originally just playing, but the woman was lucky, she was pregnant, Liu Bang did not have many heirs, so she did not order death, but quietly placed her in Beiyuan, let her raise the baby, thinking that after giving birth to an heir in the future, he would be a beauty. Maybe this is just a superficial article, maybe after the maid gave birth to Liu Bang's heir, Liu Bang would give him a cup of poisoned wine to cut himself. But Empress Lu was angry that the emperor shouldn't have hidden it from her for so long, it turned out that the two had already had a different heart.
Regarding Liu Jing and his brother, Lu Hou didn't think about it first. Recently, she heard that the officials of Chang'an City were busy preparing for the relocation of the people of Kanto, and the emperor ordered 'Heli Tianzhai', which is to give preferential policies to the Kwantung people who migrated to Guanzhong, so they must find a field house to settle the Kwantung people. In addition, according to the regulations of the imperial archives, the northern and southern districts of Chang'an were inhabited by royal nobles, ministers, nobles, and poor people, respectively, so the proportion of the population of the northern and southern districts should be calculated, and according to the household files on the population sent by the Kanto prefectures, they should be reorganized into Chang'an. Officials must understand the scale of the migration and the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court, so that they can implement the right medicine. Liu Jing was the one who suggested this migration incident, so of course he would be busy with this matter, so it would be difficult to summon him, and there would be no high-sounding reason to summon the minister Liu Jing.
As for his brother, he was afraid of himself, so he simply didn't go out of the house, and even if there was such a big thing as the migration of the Kwantung people in Chang'an City, his brother asked the emperor for leave and closed his door.
But the woman in Beiyuan aroused the interest of Empress Lu, and after thinking about it for the past few days, she felt that she should not be kept. First, this woman belongs to Han Xin's sect and is not worth believing; The second is to take this opportunity to get rid of an enemy in the harem, although this woman is also something that Liu Bang can't leave in the future, but she not only wants the woman to die, but also can't leave an heir, and this child is not necessarily the emperor's, it may also be Han Xin's. The person who came back told Empress Lu that the emperor had also given Han Xin two palace people, but a month later, Mrs. Han Xin dismissed him for a small reason, and the palace people sent by the emperor were indeed not small, just because no one told the emperor, Liu Bang didn't pay much attention, and he didn't want the palace people to watch Han Xin's actions.
Dai Qing told Empress Lu that Zhao Meiren did tell the ladies and beauties about the women in Beiyuan according to the queen's intentions, not to mention that they had met Imperial Doctor Qin, saying that some of them had different expressions after hearing it, some were angry, some were as plain as water, and some just accepted it peacefully......
As long as there is anger, this is what Empress Lu wants, she guessed that Mrs. Guan was angry, so she couldn't help laughing secretly.
In the evening, Zhao Meiren came to Changxin Palace to tell the queen about her actions in the past few days, not knowing that the queen had mastered everything she said, and the queen Lu Pheasant listened to it as if she didn't know.
Before leaving, Empress Lu sent someone to bring some Ge cloth that had also been given to Mrs. Bo the day before yesterday to Zhao Meiren, Zhao Meiren was actually very pure in heart, but she didn't know that she was used in this incident. So when he saw that only the queen could enjoy the Yue Ge Bu Benyan smiled, he accepted it very excitedly, and said that he liked it so much, and thanked the queen for his love. Looking at Zhao Meiren's youthful energy, Lu Hou felt very naïve, and her eyes were full of disgust, but even this overflowing expression, Zhao Meiren couldn't see it, she only blindly stroked the Ge cloth in her hand, and her face was shrouded in joy.
Empress Lu and Dai Qing glanced at each other, and the two smiled, it turned out that Zhao Meiren was innocent, kind and elegant as others said, and there was nothing to worry about.
