Chapter 6: Gathering in One House
After about half an hour, Empress Lu first instructed the palace people to take the princess down to eat something to suppress the shock, where can the princess eat, King Zhao was ordered by his father to be escorted to the Tingwei Mansion, and now I don't know what the situation is, I thought that when I arrived in Chang'an, my father would personally try Zhao Wangao, but my father was so angry this time that he didn't even want to see King Zhao, and directly threw him into the Tingwei Mansion to accept the case. Princess Lu Yuan refused to eat, but she was even more restless, with a worried expression on her face, and asked her mother how to save Zhao Wangao. Empress Lu had no master in her heart at this time, and she was afraid that Lu Yuan would think about it, so she pretended to be calm and stroked her back to appease him a little, "Your father will not execute King Zhao, the emperor was friendly with Ao Er's father Zhang Er back then, and you are the concubine of King Zhao, rest assured, Ao Er will be fine." ”
The princess didn't believe it, she wasn't so optimistic, she sat up from the mat all of a sudden, held Empress Lu's hands tightly, and her eyes were very anxious, "Queen Mother, now it's not what it used to be, Zhao Xiangguan Gao once wanted to assassinate his father, you and I know the nature of my father, he will execute those who dare to rebel, Guan Gao is the king of Zhao Xiangguo, the two can't be separated, how can King Zhao escape this hurdle?" But in fact, King Zhao did not participate in the assassination, and he must be involved by Guan Gao and cannot get out. Queen Mother, we went to our father to plead, and the father must have the heart to lick the calf, maybe we can save King Zhao's life. ”
Empress Lu took Lu Yuan into her arms and patted him on the back to comfort him, "If King Zhao didn't send someone to assassinate your father, he will definitely find out the facts." Ah Yuan, you are too tired and anxious, the queen mother will take care of this matter. ”
The princess wanted to speak, but the Marquis of Biyang answered, "The princess has come for a long time, and she is worried in her heart, and she must be extremely tired, so it is better to eat something first, and the queen will definitely deal with this matter." The princess came out of Empress Lu's arms, and although she was worried, she was speechless. Then, Empress Lu asked Dai Qing to take the princess to the inner hall to rest, and eat something to slow down the matter.
Empress Lu sat alone on the mat pinching her sideburns and thinking about it, Empress Lu closed her eyes for a long time, and there was no other expression on her face, in fact, Empress Lu was not sure in her heart. The emperor has never easily let go of the rebellious people, the original Yan Wang Zang Di, Han Wangxin and other rebellions, the emperor has to personally lead the army to crusade, and now Guan Gao's assassination was reported, or his son-in-law Zhao Wang's Xiangguo sent someone to assassinate, what to say about this matter has something to do with King Zhao, will the emperor forgive him? People close to the emperor participated in the rebellion, how could they give the emperor a head-on blow, a thunderous blow. Thinking like this, Empress Lu was restless, so he got up and gritted his teeth and paced around the inner hall to think about how to save King Zhao, and after pacing several times, he sighed helplessly, stopped in the hall and looked at the flying snow outside the hall, and there was unprecedented fatigue and worry in his eyes. The judge who was standing quietly on the side looked at Lv Hou silently without saying a word, and when he saw that she was also embarrassed, he knew that this matter was much more difficult to do, and he wanted to attach his hand to Lv Hou's shoulder to show comfort but he didn't dare to really do it, and he was afraid that he would be hit by the prince or others like last time, so he just stood in place to comfort Lv Hou, "You don't have to worry, the minister Guan Zhao Wangxiang is not a short-lived person, Guan Gao is known as loyal and upright, and he will not affect King Zhao." Empress Lu knew the intention of judging the food base, looked back at the trial food base, turned around and looked at the distance outside the hall and smiled bitterly.
At this time, a eunuch outside the palace came in to report that it was Jiancheng Hou and Lu Chan who asked to see him. Empress Lu raised her head and was stunned, and asked someone to pass it quickly, and then she slightly reshaped her makeup and stood in the atrium. Oh, after the completion of Hou Lu Shizhi and his nephew Lu Chan, the two of them diverged half a step away and followed each other to step in, and the two of them bowed deeply to Lu Hou without saying a word, and did not dare to raise their heads and stand up. Lu Hou looked at him with a gloomy face, since the two of them entered the door, Lu Hou has been facing the east and did not want to look at the two of them, Cheng Cheng Hou and Lu Chan, who had been hunched over, looked at each other and buried their heads lower with guilt on their faces and did not dare to say a word, and the two of them could hear Lu Hou exhaling unevenly because of anger. Empress Lu was angry and hung the two of them for a long time, without speaking or telling them to get up. Jiancheng Hou saw that Lu Hou ignored himself and knew that what he had done to Guan Xiuyan still made his sister complain, Jiancheng Hou was afraid of Lu Hou and didn't dare to look up at Lu Hou's eyes, but he could think of his sister's gloomy face, hook-like eyes staring at a certain place with hatred and hatred. Jiancheng Hou knew that Empress Lu's anger at this time was aimed at him, and he was busy planning in his abdomen for a long time, and if he had a wheel under his feet, he slowly moved in front of Empress Lu, but he still didn't dare to look at Empress Lu, gritted his teeth and gave Empress Lu a deep hand, admitting his mistake, "Queen Mother, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister no longer dares to act recklessly." This time, one came to ask Niangniang to confess, and the other heard that Zhao Wang Ao was escorted to the Tingwei Mansion......"
Without waiting for the general to finish speaking, Empress Lu turned around and said to the judge with a calm face, "Judge the food, immediately send someone to the Tingwei Mansion to check the situation, everything about King Zhao must be known." ”
Judging his fate, he looked at Jianhou who was blamed for being snubbed by Empress Lu, and he passed by his side and stroked his back to show comfort, and Jiancheng Hou smiled bitterly at him. Seeing that Empress Lu had a cold face, he wanted to help Cheng Hou persuade Empress Lu, but seeing Empress Lu's gloomy face and not reducing his anger, it was not easy for him to speak, knowing that her sister and brother had to make some trouble to resolve Empress Lu's anger, Judge Shiqi shook his head and took his leave.
Seeing that his uncle had been snubbed by his aunt, Lu Chan cleverly stepped forward to bow down to Lu Hou as soon as his eyelids turned, and paused, "Zhou Lu Hou and Lu Zezi will worship their aunt in a few months, and they are very sorry in their hearts. Seeing that Lu Chan's words were gentle and a little filial piety, he quickly disintegrated Empress Lu's resentment, and after a while, he listened to Empress Lu's words and warmed up, "There is no need to worship, I haven't seen your mother for a few months, how is she doing?" Lu Chan was excited, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother is tough, and Aunt Xie cares." "Empress Lu" "Hmm-" He passed by his side and helped him up, and said, "Princess Lu Yuan's children are all in the side hall, if you go and see, there will be nothing to do here." Lu Chan glanced at the completion of the wait, and turned to the side hall.
Lu Houquan did not wait for this person, as soon as Lu Chan left, Lu Hou also went to the inner hall to see Princess Lu Yuan, and left Lu Shizhi alone. Empress Lu sat beside Princess Lu Yuan, but the food on the case was not moved, Empress Lu felt sorry for the princess and persuaded her to eat something, but the princess shook her head weakly, saying that she really couldn't eat. Lu Shizhi was persuading the princess, Lu Shizhi drooped his head and dragged his body very reluctantly in, his eyes glanced at Lu Hou, "Ah-" shouted, Lu Shizhi was surprised to see that his niece and princess were beside Lu Hou, and found that it was the princess who came, Lu Shizhi forgot that he was here to admit his mistake, and he was about to talk to the princess with a happy face, just in front of the princess's case, Lu Hou Huo Ran raised his head and glanced at Jianhou coldly, Chenghou was instantly forced back by Lu Hou's sharp eyes, his face was unhappy and he didn't dare to talk to the princess and then retreated back to the place and lowered his head, With an unhappy face and a hint of grievance, his mouth was pouting and his eyes were pursed.
When the princess found out that it was her uncle, she was also happy and wanted to talk to her uncle, but she saw that her mother had a cold expression towards her uncle. The princess didn't know why, and looked at her mother suspiciously. Empress Lu glanced at Jianhou who was standing on the side, and then looked at the princess with a suspicious face, Empress Lu pursed her lips and shook her head again and again and sighed. The princess got up and came to Jianhou's side, first gave him an elder salute, and then asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" The queen mother ......" looked back at the somewhat angry Empress Lu, and asked Cheng Hou in a low voice, "What did you do wrong again?" ”
Jiancheng Hou pulled the princess, but his eyes were glancing at Empress Lu, and he deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Ah Yuan, save my uncle, my uncle has done something wrong, but my uncle is completely for the Lu family, for the prince, and for my uncle...... It's hard. After speaking, he deliberately raised his neck to see what Lu Hou was doing, Lu Hou turned around and glanced coldly at his brother Lu Shizhi, who could play tricks, and after cold eyes, he also got up and walked to Jianchenghou, his eyes were mixed with questions and stared at Jiancheng Hou indifferently. stared at it for a long time, but he didn't open his mouth to ask Cheng Hou for half a sentence, and coldly removed Lu Shizhi's eyes, walked straight to the front of the palace gate, held the palace door with one hand, and looked into the distance and pondered.
"Brother, if the previous things are in vain, my sister will not ask anymore, you need to know how much trouble you have caused me, if the eldest brother is here......" Empress Lu turned around, her eyes were full of tiredness and nostalgia and a hint of blame, "He won't cause me trouble." ”
Lu Shizhi was finally a little moved as if he had realized his mistake, put away his stubborn face and walked to Lu Hou's side in one step, and swore in a slightly competitive tone, "The eldest brother can help you, the second brother can also help you, and the younger sister forgives the second brother this time, and there will be no mistakes in the future." Empress Lu finally attached her hand to her brother's shoulder and patted it, and the face of the lotus finally had a little smile. Jiancheng Hou also scratched the back of his head stupidly and laughed 'hehe'. Lu Shizhi followed behind Lu Hou's ass and asked, "Sister, what ......is the matter of King Zhao this time?"
Lu Hou said, "I didn't know the details, didn't I go to understand the situation?" ”
"I came in from the east gate, and along the way I heard that King Zhao and Guan Gao were escorted to the Tingwei Mansion, and the guards said that the emperor ordered the trial of King Zhao and Guan Gao to begin two hours later, and I don't know what the situation ......was" Cheng Cheng Hou looked worried, and said anxiously, "I am only worried that Guan Gao will not be able to stand the torture and will confess to King Zhang." ”
Lu Hou shook his head and said, "When Zhang Er was here, I heard that Guan Gao Zhao Wu and others were over the age of sixteen, straightforward but faithful, and they were deeply liked and treated by Zhang Er. "The general will be suspicious, and he can't be sure of being a high person, and he knows that the emperor's brother-in-law has a temperament, and he will want to kill the thief who assassinated him.
While Fang was talking, the eunuch outside the palace came to report that the prince was coming, and Empress Lu immediately passed on to the prince. Liu Ying came over to Empress Lu with a panicked face, and took Empress Lu's hands and asked about King Zhao urgently. Empress Lu patted the prince on the shoulder and said that it was not a big deal. Princess Lu Yuan also took Empress Lu's arm and looked at Liu Ying with a worried face, Liu Ying was not surprised, knowing that her sister would come, and then forced her to calm down and comfort her sister, "Sister, don't panic, brother-in-law will definitely not." ”
Princess Lu Yuan nodded firmly.
