The Ouyang family used to be a famous family of poetry in the previous dynasty, but unfortunately in this dynasty, not only did no children and grandchildren enter the official ranks, but some of the side branches even fell to the point of precariousness.

Ouyang Mama is from the side branch of the Ouyang family, she entered the palace at the age of twelve, because she was from the Ouyang family, literate and hyphenated, so she was arranged in the Shangyi Bureau to serve the female official. Although she is young, she is backward in her family and has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and she is more honest and respectful than the little palace maids of the same age, and she is even more important. Five years later, Si Ji left the palace and recommended her to Shanggong before leaving.

When Mama Ouyang sat in the seat of the director, she happened to encounter a good opportunity. The Empress Dowager, who was still the empress at the time, often helped the emperor to approve the chapters, so she asked the Shangyi Bureau to select a female official who was proficient in classics and neat writing, and the Shangyi Bureau Shanggong recommended Ouyang Mama, who was the secretary at the time.

It was this opportunity that Mama Ouyang got the blue eyes of the Empress Dowager, and later she reached the age of leaving the palace, the Empress Dowager was reluctant to let her out of the palace, after the first emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager lived in Cining Palace, and let her be the director of Cining Palace.

Over the years, Mama Ouyang has also lived up to the grace of the Empress Dowager and devoted all her efforts to do things for the Empress Dowager.

She entered the palace at the age of twelve, and her parents have long been separated from her yin and yang. Once the Empress Dowager asked her if she still had relatives, and Mama Ouyang said that she had a brother and a brother, and the younger brother was only three years old when she entered the palace, and she was the most worried about the younger brother.

The Empress Dowager asked her to check that Mama Ouyang's brother had died of poverty and illness, and her younger brother survived.

Mama Ouyang is very good to this only younger brother, almost all the rewards she has received over the years have been given to her younger brother, and she has also helped her younger brother open three shops in the capital.

These three shops are all engaged in needlework business, which is inconspicuous in the capital, and is rarely patronized by large families, and is closed for ten days a month. But in fact, these three shops are connected to the Needlework Bureau, in addition to making the curtain tents needed in the palace for the Needlework Bureau, they also take jobs such as official uniforms and supplements.

Although there is not much business, every transaction is stable and abundant.

In order to thank his sister, Mama Ouyang's younger brother gave his second son to Mama Ouyang, although he is still a nephew in name, but the child privately calls Mama Ouyang his mother.

Mama Ouyang loved this nephew very much, often praised him to others, and dragged him off and sent him to the National Prison.

But just a few days ago, when I heard that Yan Sheng Gong Mian Sheng had denounced Jinyiwei's evil deeds in Jinling, a group of half-year-old children from Guozijian pulled banners and ran out into the street, asking the Holy Lord to punish Jinyiwei's commander He Gang.

Among these children is Ouyang Chun, the nephew of Ouyang Mama.

Yan Shenggong faces the saint, that is the gift of the saint; The courtiers folded their children, which was a righteous thing, but a group of hairy children went to the street to pull banners, that was nonsense, and it was gathering people to make trouble.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division dispatched to arrest all the children, and notified their respective families, and within a day, these families either trusted their relations or made money, and brought back all their children.

Those who can enter the national prison have some families in their families, whether large or small, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will not be difficult for them, but they will only scare these children, lest they cause more trouble.

But there was one person who didn't let his family take it away, and that was Ouyang Chun.

When the children were brought in, they were routinely searched to prevent them from hiding blades.

When the Ouyang family came to lead the people, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division said with a smile: "It stands to reason that if it's just children messing around together, then it's nothing, who doesn't have children, whose children aren't naughty, but it's ......."

Speaking of this, the smirk on his face suddenly put away, and he said sharply: "But no child's family has the audacity to criticize the saint and talk about the government in vain!" ”

As he spoke, he slapped a piece of paper in front of the Ouyang family, who didn't read the words on it clearly, but the blood-red fingerprints were impressive, thinking that Ouyang Chun had already signed and drawn.

When Mama Ouyang got the news, it was already the next day, but the news was not obtained from outside the palace, but Chang Xiaogui quietly told her.

Chang Xiaogui is now a big celebrity next to Emperor Ming He, although he is young, he has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been an old fritter.

When a eunuch is in his position, he will not talk nonsense.

Mama Ouyang knew that he might exaggerate, but something must have happened.

What worries Mama Ouyang is not that this incident happened, but that this incident came out of Chang Xiaogui's mouth.

Chang Xiaogui sighed and said, "Mama, why don't you say that you don't have an accident sooner or later, if you have to have an accident at this juncture, the emperor is angry." ”

Mama Ouyang's heart sank, isn't it, it doesn't matter if she scolds Hegang, the emperor doesn't want to see him anyway, but scolding the emperor is a big deal.

Mama Ouyang has been in the palace for many years, and she knows what is going on when she looks at today's formation.

She asked in a deep voice, "What conditions?" ”

Chang Xiaogui grinned: "Mama is a rare person in the palace who understands, look, it's useless to ask you over, you understand." It's not that I'm scaring you, even if you don't raid your house, your nephew's life will not be guaranteed. ”

Mama Ouyang held back her anger and asked, "If I am sorry for the Empress Dowager, I will never agree." ”

The smile on Chang Xiaogui's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Then you just wait for the news of your nephew's death, but after saying it, you can't burn paper in the palace to worship, you are an old man in the palace, you know this rule better than me." ”

After speaking, Chang Xiaogui shook off the dust and turned to leave.

The next day is the wedding day in the palace once every three months. The so-called pro-Japanese will mean that the eunuchs with status in the palace can meet with relatives outside the palace.

Ouyang Mama saw her brother, she hadn't seen her for three months, her brother's hair was half white, and he shivered and took out a box, which contained half a finger.

There is a book cocoon on his finger, which is Ouyang Chun's.

Mama Ouyang said: "Don't worry, I'll go and ask the Queen Mother, there must be a way." ”

The younger brother Putong knelt down for her, crying and said: "Not only was Chun'er arrested, but last night, your eldest nephew was also arrested, and the arrester said, if you refuse to agree, you will kill both of them, sister, I beg you, I have these two sons." ”

Ouyang Chun was imprisoned in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but the whereabouts of the eldest son Ouyang Ming are unknown, and he doesn't know where he is being held.

Mama Ouyang returned to Cining Palace and wanted to tell the Empress Dowager about it several times, but she still endured it. This matter is aimed at her, as long as the Empress Dowager intervenes, Ouyang Chun's life may be saved, but Ou Yangming is dead.

In the end, she still went to Chang Xiaogui.

Five days later, the Empress Dowager died of hemoptysis!

After Mama Ouyang learned the news of the Empress Dowager's death, a white silk hanging beam committed suicide and followed the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Minghe was sad and ordered everyone in Cining Palace to be martyred for the Empress Dowager.
