In May, Emperor Hui and Empress Zhang hugged Liu Gong to pay tribute to Zongmiao and made him the crown prince, and the ministers congratulated him.

At the end of June, Xiangguo Cao was sick and could not stay. At first, Emperor Hui sent an envoy to visit Cao Shen, and in mid-July, the Xiangguo Mansion came with the news that Cao Shen had not entered the water and was in a trance. Emperor Hui, who was drinking alcohol with the palace people because of the bad things going well, heard the news, immediately sobered up and hurried to the Xiangguo Mansion. Seeing Cao Shenxiang Huang Yu on the couch, Emperor Hui shouted sadly, "Cao Xiangguo is about to rest!" ”

Emperor Hui went to Cao Shen's bed, shook his hand and said, "Xiangguo is back, take a break!" Then, tears rolled down, and the attendants on both sides were all moved by his two monarchs and ministers. The Imperial Physician of Qin and the Imperial Physician of Song brought by Emperor Hui shook their heads after checking Cao Shen's pulse, indicating that they could not do anything. Cao Shenzi and Cao Yao knelt in front of the couch and cried. The next day, Empress Lu sent someone to appease Mrs. Cao.

In August, Cao Shen, the people of Chang'an sent Cao Shen with tears. Emperor Hui allowed him to be buried in the tomb of Emperor Gaozu Changling, and gave him the nickname of Marquis Yi, praising his virtue and wisdom. The people of Chang'an sang and said: "What is the law of Xiao, if you draw one; Cao Shen replaces it, keep it and don't lose it. Carry its tranquility, and the people will be peaceful. Seven days later, Wang Ling was the prime minister, and Chen Ping was the auxiliary.

In September, the construction of Chang'an City was fully completed, and Emperor Hui's ministers were all overjoyed, and Emperor Hui ordered to reward the people, one level per household.

In the winter of the sixth year of Emperor Hui, King Qi was fat. Emperor Hui was sad when he thought of his brother's death, and his mood was low, and he stood in front of the stairs for a long time every night. In the first month, Emperor Hui resolutely ordered a woman who was over fifteen to thirty years old not to marry, five counts (one calculation is one hundred and twenty yuan). In the six years since he ascended the throne, Emperor Hui was often unhappy every time he received the book of the magistrate's 'upper count', the population of the world had plummeted, the taxes were insufficient, and the treasury was not surplus. In the past, there was a persuasion to teach agriculture and mulberry, and the effect of the people recuperating and recuperating was obtained. As for how to increase the population, Emperor Hui also tried every means to 'forcibly' force women over the age of 15 to under 30 to be punished for not marrying, so as to stimulate the population increase and increase the vitality of the 800-mile Qinchuan. For a while, Chang'an was not lively, and the streets were full of happy people, you marry me, blowing and blowing, and continuing to be lively in the dusk with a touch of sunset. In addition, in order to fill the treasury, Emperor Hui ordered that the people be allowed to exchange money for knights, and for a time, the silver in the treasury doubled, and the bazaar was also lively.

On April 25, Emperor Hui paid homage to Changling, ascended to the heights and looked at Chang'an City.

The June morning breeze is light, and the warm sun shines down from the top of the East Mountain, and everything is quiet and beautiful.

"Wuyang Hou Xu-" A sad word broke the tranquility of Chang'an. It was the little servant of the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion who hurriedly entered the palace to report the news of the death of the Marquis of Wuyang. When Empress Lu, who was having dinner, heard the news, she was shocked and urgently called the maid to Weiyang Palace to call Emperor Hui, and she hurriedly went with the little servant first. The maid went to Weiyang Palace to find Emperor Hui, but she couldn't find it, she was in a hurry, Queen Zhang came out of the back of the tent, and saw that the maid goddess next to the Queen Mother was panicked and anxious, and hurriedly asked what happened, and the maid told Queen Zhang the news of the death of the Marquis of Wuyang, and said that the Queen Mother had gone to the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion at this time. Empress Zhang was so shocked that she almost fell and was held up by the maidservant. Empress Zhang hurriedly said to the maidservant that the emperor may be in the Yongyan Hall of the Liang Chief. The maidservant said goodbye to Empress Zhang and rushed to the Yongyan Palace, and was stopped by the people of the Yongyan Hall as soon as she went up the steps, saying that the emperor had not yet gotten up and was not allowed to enter. The maidservant was anxious, and she didn't dare to go in, so she had to say loudly in front of the palace, "Wuyang Hou Xu, the Queen Mother has arrived at the Hou Mansion, Your Majesty is up——"

Emperor Hui, who was embracing Liang Chang in the palace, did not dare to linger with the beauty, and sat up in shock, Liang Chang was busy changing his clothes, and Emperor Hui was anxious, and he hurriedly went to Wuyang Hou's Mansion before he had time to eat. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the door of the Hou Mansion was covered with white cloth, and the servants were busy going in and out. Emperor Hui hurriedly entered the hall, and saw Empress Lu standing in front of a coffin, and hurriedly waved his hand beside him, "Queen Mother-"

"What are you doing," Empress Lu whispered and angrily rebuked Emperor Hui, "only come now." Emperor Hui only shirked the past because of something, and Empress Lu did not investigate, and said to Emperor Hui, "Wuyang Hou Yin is in the world, your sister-in-law has cried and fainted several times, and has now been carried into the back hall; Fan is still young, and the mourning family has ordered someone to accompany him. ”

In the afternoon, both the master and servant of the Fan family were all crying spirits. Empress Lu and Emperor Hui stood aside, their faces solemn. After crying, Lu Huan ordered the whole Fan Mansion to guard the spirit of Fan Xu. Empress Lu and Emperor Hui went back to the palace that night, and before leaving, they asked the servants of the mansion to take care of Lu Huan.

Fan Mansion stopped for seven days, Emperor Hui allowed Fan to be buried in the tomb of Emperor Gaozu's long mausoleum, known as Marquis Wu, and his son attacked the Marquis of Wuyang.

In August, Wang Ling reported that Emperor Hui should start in Chang'an West City, and Emperor Hui approved it.

In September, Wang Ling, Chen Ping, and Gao Qi reported to Emperor Hui to repair Xingyang Aocang, and Emperor Hui approved it.

In the winter and October of the seventh year of Emperor Hui, he rode and went to Xingyang to minor in Aocang, and the Taiwei was in charge of the baby.

In November, it snowed again in Chang'an. In the afternoon, the Marquis of Biyang interrogated the game with Empress Lu, and said to Empress Lu, "The emperor recently looked for ministers and warned me to enter the palace less. Empress Lu was silent, and took a step of chess, "The mourning family allows it, what are you afraid of?" His face hesitated and continued to play chess.

The palace people reported to Empress Lu that Emperor Hui was coming, and he looked at Empress Lu urgently and was at a loss, and he looked panicked, so he wanted to find a hiding place. Empress Lu gave him a blank look, and asked him to stand firmly in place, and greet Emperor Hui according to the big gift, and he almost trembled when he tried to eat.

When Emperor Hui entered the hall, he saw that he was standing behind Empress Lu, and he was immediately displeased, and he glared at him. Judging the food, he tended to come over and make a big gift. Emperor Hui ignored it, displeased in his heart, and looked at Empress Lu with resentment in his eyes. As if nothing had happened, Empress Lu went to Emperor Hui's side, patted the snowflakes off Emperor Hui's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What's the matter again." Emperor Hui was disgusted that his mother pretended to be calm in the matter of judging him, and said calmly with a dark face, "Liang Chang is pregnant, and he wants to eat melons, so he wants to find some for her here." "Empress Lu didn't like Liang Changenvoy, because of her, Emperor Hui was almost not in the Jiaofang Palace, the fire in Empress Lu's chest suddenly rose, but he finally suppressed it, and said flatly, "If you don't cut it, you don't eat, and you don't eat from time to time." I'm about to become a mother, I don't know this! Emperor Hui said, "She is greedy, and she hopes that her mother will give her her a child, and her son will thank her mother on her behalf." As he spoke, he knelt on his knees. Lu Hou didn't help and took a step away, "How can there be a melon for her at this time." "There's an ice room, I've checked it." Emperor Hui completely blocked Empress Lu's words. Empress Lu looked at Emperor Hui in surprise, she really didn't like Emperor Hui blocking her like this, and she didn't want to have a stiff relationship with her son, so Empress Lu asked Emperor Hui to get up and explain to him, "Since Envoy Liang is pregnant, you should go to Jiaofang Hall to accompany Ah Yan and Gong'er." melon, the mourning family will give her. Emperor Hui smiled slightly, and waved his hand at Empress Lu, "Empress Xie." With that, Emperor Hui glared at him angrily and withdrew from the main hall.

"Eat melons and beg for children, Liang Ling, this slut!" Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, said hatefully, and turned to judge her words, "The mourning family is powerless." Judging Shiqi hurriedly came over to help Empress Lu, "Queen Mother, the minister will give you a shoulder beat." Lu Hou nodded, and sat on the couch after the trial, and skillfully beat the shoulders of the Lu Hou, but after a while, the Lu Hou closed his eyes and took a nap, and the trial had to put the Lu Hou on the couch, cover it with a quilt and go out of the hall.

The next day, the people of Yongyan Palace went to the ice room to retrieve the ice melon. That night, Liang Chang lost his breath. Emperor Hui was furious, smashed everything in the Yongyan Palace, and sentenced all six people in the Yongyan Palace to death, which alarmed the Second Palace of Changle in Weiyang. Lu Hou was also shocked, he did not instruct others to do tricks and feet in the melon, how could Liang Chang make him die. Since the death of Liang Changzhi, Emperor Hui never came to worship Lu Hou, and locked himself in a dimly lit dark room all day long, drinking and talking to himself. Empress Lu was worried, anxious in Changle Palace, and ordered someone to find him to discuss the matter of Liang Chang's envoy, and Empress Lu was afraid that Emperor Hui would collapse from then on. Empress Lu was so worried that her temples had gray hair, and she sat on the couch without saying a word. Seeing that Empress Lu was in a bad mood, the rest of the food judge looked at her, and the food judge frowned, as if his heart was full of things. He stepped forward and said to Lu Hou, "The matter of Chief Liang was done by the minister. ”

Empress Lu was startled, looked at him, and walked to his side and shouted angrily, "Who told you to do it?" Empress Lu slapped him, his eyes were cracked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor and the mourning family already have a gap in their hearts, why do you still tear the cracks, why don't you let the mourning family have a better time?" Empress Lu was furious like a tiger. He cowered and did not dare to move, bowed his bow, bowed his head and said nothing. Empress Lu was still angry, and waved her sleeves to judge him, "Don't enter the palace in the near future, wait for the mourning family to summon you." Judging the food, he gave up his hand to Lu Hou.

The first month is ugly, and the sun is eclipsed. Emperor Hui in the dark room saw this phenomenon through a small crack, like crazy, his hair was scattered and his cheeks were scratched, and he said in pieces, "Heaven punishes, I lose my virtue......"

Empress Lu looked up at it on the steps, and secretly recited a sentence in her mouth, "Heaven punishes the mourning family." In order to take care of the emotionally unstable Emperor Hui, Empress Lu tried her best to search for the most delicate person in the harem. Empress Lu felt very good, so she asked this woman to serve Emperor Hui, and told her to take good care of him, not to have any scheming to fight for anything, and not to say that she was sent by the Queen Mother.

It's been two months, and Hui Di's mood has improved slightly, and the time spent in the dark room is getting shorter and shorter. The woman was originally a person in the Changle Palace who was in the tea palace, and was only allowed to enter the Weiyang Palace after being discovered by the Empress Lu, although she knew that the emperor often came to the Changle Palace to worship the Empress Lu, but the woman did not dare to look up at the emperor at all, only doing her duty, and now the Empress Lu asked her to serve Emperor Hui, and the woman went to the greenhouse hall to take the shift. On this day, Emperor Hui was in a bad mood and was frowning and hesitating on the couch. The woman brought tea to Emperor Hui, "Bashu warm tea, Your Majesty, please use it." ”

Emperor Hui glanced at the woman, picked up the tea and poured it into his mouth, and asked the woman casually, "New here?" What's the name? ”

"Fan Xuelian." The woman said, "The slave and maid will serve Your Majesty from now on." ”

"Can you dance?" Hui Di asked.

"Yes."

"Dance to relieve my sorrows."

Fan Xuelian nodded, and then went to the center of the hall to dance for Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui watched Fan Xuelian sometimes run to the moon like Chang'e, sometimes like a goddess scattering flowers, and sometimes dancing like stepping on the stars and the moon, but he remembered the beautiful night that Jing Tian danced for him many years ago. The Fan Xuelian in front of her is much better looking than Jing Tian, Emperor Hui is almost excited, except for Jing Tian, I am afraid that only Fan Xuelian can make Emperor Hui so excited. After a dance, Emperor Hui beckoned Fan Xuelian to come over, Emperor Hui stretched out his hand, Fan Xuelian put her hand on Emperor Hui's hand in understanding, and Fan Xuelian sat beside Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, very caring, warm and comfortable, and asked Fan Xuelian, "Do you want to be my woman?" Fan Xuelian blushed and bowed her head in agreement. Emperor Hui held Snow Lotus's left hand in his right hand, his ten fingers were clasped tightly, and his heart was in touch. The next day, Emperor Hui canonized Fan Xuelian as a beauty and awarded a silver seal with a purple ribbon. When Empress Lu heard this, her heart was a little relaxed.

At this moment, it is not easy but Empress Zhang Yan, who has grown up, is no longer a little girl who does not know the love of men and women before, seeing that the women around Emperor Hui have changed and changed, she has never been in the heart of Emperor Hui, Zhang Yan is secretly sad in the Jiaofang Hall every day. Now that Emperor Hui has sealed Fan Beauty again, Zhang Yan's heart is suddenly empty, thinking that Emperor Hui will not come to Jiaofang Hall again in the future, Zhang Yan has been sick for two days and collapsed. Empress Lu felt sorry for Zhang Yan, and came to see her in Jiaofang Palace, seeing that Zhang Yan on the couch no longer had the same look as before, she knew what Zhang Yan was worried about, and comforted her, "Fan Xuelian was sent to the emperor by the mourning family, and seeing that the emperor has been locking himself in the dark room, the mourning family feels uncomfortable, so he can only give him one more favorite person by his side to relieve him." ”

Zhang Yan burst into tears and secretly grabbed the quilt.

"The mourning family will let the emperor come to visit Ah Yan in Jiaofang Palace, no matter at any time, Ah Yan is the first in the emperor's heart, and the emperor will not think about Ah Yan's good." Lu Hou patted Zhang Yan's hand and said gently.

"Queen Mother, I want to get a good night's sleep, and when I wake up, Ah Yan will be fine." Zhang Yan said.

Empress Lu nodded, covered it with a quilt, and told the palace people to take good care of Empress Zhang, and Empress Lu left the palace.
