Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unfilial Son

Liu Hou was woken up again, he felt that he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and moved his muscles and bones, after he played a round of five poultry plays indoors, his eyes skimmed to Huang Hao, who was holding the brocade box in his hand and respectfully standing on the side, so he closed his fists and said: "By the way, little eunuch, what's your name?" ”

Although he had already declared his name just now, Huang Hao still replied obediently: "Back to Your Majesty, a certain family name is Huang Minghao, Haoyue is empty." A certain family is not a eunuch, and a certain family is just a small middle yellow door. ”

"Oh, that's right." Liu Houyi patted his head and remembered that the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty were generally called eunuchs, and their positions from high to low were Zhongchang Servant, Huangmen Shilang, Xiaohuangmen, Huangmen Order, Zhonghuangmen Redundant Servant Shot, Ye Ting Order, Yongxiang Order, Imperial Mansion Order, Ancestral Worship Order, Hook Shield Order, Director of Huangmen, Director of the Studio, Director of Yutang, Yongan Cheng, Zhonghuangmen, etc.

This Huang Hao is just a middle yellow door, and he belongs to the lowest-grade eunuch. And the title of eunuch is not something that can be called indiscriminately, and it is generally necessary to be a high-level leader eunuch to be called a eunuch.

"Then Xiaohuangmen Huang Hao, can you tell me some things in the palace?" Before Liu Hou's words fell, Huang Hao knelt down excitedly, knocked his head three times, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you." ”

"Uh......" Liu Hou didn't understand the situation at all, and asked puzzledly: "What reward?" What the hell are you talking about? ”

"Uh......" This time it was Huang Hao's turn to be stunned, and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty seal me as the Little Yellow Gate just now?"

"This ......" Xiaohuangmen has a small word, called smoothly, Liu Hou was quick for a while, called the wrong name, Xiaohuangmen rank is more than 600 stones, and Zhonghuangmen is only more than 100 stones, and then increased to more than 300 stones, the two are several levels worse, Liu Hou said casually, Huang Hao came to a triple jump.

"The little yellow door is the little yellow door, and you can just work hard in the future." Emperor Chrysostom said that what he said should be counted and could not be changed casually, anyway, this is also a trivial matter, and Liu Hou doesn't care.

"Okay, Huang Hao, you tell me about the things in the palace, I just came back, and I don't know much about the things in the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Hao agreed, and began to tell Liu Hou, don't look at Huang Hao's young age, but he has been living in the palace for a few years, he is still quite familiar with the things in the palace, plus he is very smart, and he has read books, his eloquence is not bad, and he talks non-stop for a while.

Liu Hou also asked questions from time to time, and Huang Hao could give good answers, and as the two talked, Liu Hou also had a general understanding of the situation in the palace.

It turns out that the place where Liu Hou now sleeps is the emperor's bedroom, and this palace borrows the name of Luoyang's "Ganquan Shanglin Yuan", called Ganquan (Palace) Palace. The residence of the queen mother is called Changle (palace) hall, the palace where the queen lives is Jiaofang Palace, and the Weiyang (palace) hall is the place where the emperor receives the ministers, which is equivalent to the upper study of later generations.

The Shu Han Dynasty Palace is more than a little smaller than the original Han Dynasty palace in Luoyang and Chang'an, and the original Han Dynasty palace like "Ganquan Palace", "Changle Palace", "Weiyang Palace" These names do not refer to a palace, but a palace group, and a palace includes many houses.

However, in the Shu Han Imperial Palace, these names only represent a palace, and the great thing is that several small rooms are separated in the main hall for the waiting eunuchs and palace maids to be on duty and rest. Therefore, many places in the Shu Han Imperial Palace just borrowed the name of the Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, and there is essentially a difference between the abyss.

When Liu Hou heard Huang Hao talk about the queen's bedroom, he suddenly remembered that Guan Gong had said that he wanted his daughter Guan Yinhua to be the queen too, and he suddenly had a thrill, how could he forget about it?

He followed the army all the way into the palace, during which he dealt with a lot of things, many people, but forgot to look for Guan Yinhua, not that he was in a hurry to make her the queen, but this army was in chaos, the whole palace was in chaos, in case she had a good one, how could he follow Guan Gongdai? Besides, she is also one of her childhood playmates, how can you watch her have an accident?

Thinking of this, Liu Hou immediately asked Huang Hao: "Do you know where the queen is?" Hurry up and find the queen. ”

Huang Hao, who was foaming at the mouth, was suddenly suffocated, but he quickly came back to his senses and realized that the emperor was asking him a question, so he replied: "The slave maid doesn't know, after the emperor's heavenly army entered the palace, the slave maid and other palace people were locked up in a big hall, and they didn't know the situation outside. The slave maid will go to find the queen, please wait for your majesty. ”

After Huang Hao saluted Liu Hou, he wanted to go to the queen Guan Yinping, but heard the emperor shout: "Wait! ”

It turned out that Empress Liu Houyou suddenly remembered her old lady, Mrs. Gan, not only did he forget about Guan Yinping, but he also forgot about his own mother, and he didn't think to go to her after entering the palace for so long, which was really unfilial.

Liu Hou has been independent since he was a child, did not live in the palace with his parents, but lived in the "Ministry of Industry", and when he was older, he led the troops to fight abroad, plus he thought that he was crossing the public, and he was even more indifferent to the feelings of his parents, so after he entered the palace, he dealt with various affairs, but he didn't think of his old lady.

"What else does Your Majesty command?" After Huang Hao heard Liu Hou's shout, he hurriedly turned around and waited for the emperor's latest instructions.

Liu Houdao: "I ask you, where is my queen mother, do you know?" ”

Huang Hao was also shocked when he heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he had been talking about a qiē in the palace just now, but he forgot to talk about the situation of the emperor's mother, if the emperor started to fly, his head would move.

"This ...... If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid will know......" Huang Hao said in a hurry.

"Where, take me quickly." Liu Hou can't care about looking for Guan Yinping, it's important to find his wife first, this world is still based on filial piety, and his wife is usually very good to him, as a son of man, he should care about it.

"Your Majesty, too, the Queen Mother is here, in the cold palace." Huang Hao said timidly. Mrs. Gan does not have the name of the Queen Mother yet, but Huang Hao, who knows each other, has already been called the Queen Mother.

"What!" Liu Hou was furious and slapped his palm on the table, causing the table to make a "bang" sound.

Huang Hao was frightened like a quail, shrunk his neck, knelt down and kowtowed, and couldn't even speak.

There was a hot pain in the palm of his hand, Liu Hou had already slapped his hand swollen before he fainted, and now he felt even more pain under the slap. However, stimulated by this pain, he sobered up his mind, this matter should have nothing to do with the little eunuch in front of him, he really can't embarrass him, this must be a good thing done by the mother and son.

Sure enough, I heard Huang Hao kowtow and say: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, it was Concubine Wu who ordered the queen mother to be sent to the cold palace." ”

"Humph! This dead old woman has such a vicious heart that she really wants to screw off her head and use it as a stool to sit on. In fact, Liu Hou just said it to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't think about it at all, Wu Yuan is also one of his father's wives and concubines, if he really does this, an unfilial name can't run, he still has to pay attention to the impact.

But Huang Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but sweat coldly when he heard Liu Hou's words, in fact, Liu Hou, as an emperor, really shouldn't speak so casually, the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, many times, a sentence of unintentional words from a person in a position will be remembered by those who are always thinking about it, and then they will do everything possible to do it, so as to please the superior.

Such things abound in history, and of course the guards around Liu Hou would not have any ideas, but Huang Hao, the little eunuch with eight faces, kept this matter in mind, and as soon as he had the opportunity, he would definitely fulfill the emperor's "wish" today.

Liu Hou immediately asked people to change his clothes, and then asked Huang Hao to take him to the cold palace, and he wanted to pick up his mother in person. As for Guan Yinhua, he casually ordered a personal guard to find it.

Soon, Liu Hou went to a palace surrounded by two teams of personal soldiers, and a plaque was hung at the main entrance of the palace, with the book "Changmen Palace".

Legend has it that after Chen Ajiao, the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was deposed, she moved to Changmen Palace. Chen Ajiao was unwilling to be abolished, and her daughter bought the endowment, and Sima Xiangru made "Changmen Fu", which made the name of Changmen spread through the ages. Since then, Nagato Palace has become synonymous with the cold palace.

Liu Hou didn't expect that the Shu Han Palace would also use "Changmen Palace" to refer to the Cold Palace. This palace is obviously much smaller than other palaces, and there are no carved beams and paintings, and it looks similar to the houses of ordinary large families.

Walking into the courtyard, although there are no ruined tiles, there are also overgrown weeds, and it is obvious that this place is neglected. Liu Hou didn't see a palace maid or eunuch waiting here until he entered the room, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

This palace is obviously divided into two parts, Liu Hou just came in here and estimated that it was used as a living room, and seeing that there was no one, Liu Hou went straight into the inner room. Huang Hao originally wanted to shout as usual: "The emperor has arrived!" But Liu Hou waved his hand to stop him.

Liu Hou saw two women in the inner room, one woman who was almost forty years old was his mother in this life, Mrs. Gan, who should be called Empress Dowager Gan now. The other is Empress Dowager Gan's personal maid Xiaocui, when she escaped from Changbanpo, this Xiaocui and Empress Dowager Gan took turns hugging Liu Hou all the way, and Liu Hou was also deeply impressed by her.

Although the Empress Dowager Gan is about to run to the fourth, her face is still beautiful, but she is a little haggard, Xiaocui looks younger, not yet thirty years old, but as a palace maid, this age is not too young, and at the age of thirty, she is not out of the palace to marry, and it is estimated that she wants to never marry.

Empress Dowager Gan saw clearly that the person who came was the baby son she thought about day and night, and couldn't help crying with joy, and immediately pounced on Liu Hou and hugged Liu Hou in her arms and cried.

"My son, my mother finally saw you, but I miss my mother kissing you......" Empress Dowager Gan cried while babbling non-stop.

Liu Hou was made a little red by him, of course his manly husband can't shed tears, when he was hugged and cried by his mother, he took the opportunity to look around, and found that although the decoration in the house was very simple, but all kinds of daily necessities were quite complete, it seemed that his mother's life here was not too hard.

He hurriedly asked about the two of them living here, and under his inquiry, Xiaocui answered honestly. Liu Hou learned that after the two were demoted here, there was no shortage of various expenses, although there was no longer the previous brocade clothes and food, but at least three meals a day coarse tea and light food were worry-free, and the clothes and bedding were enough to keep warm.

Empress Dowager Gan was displaced with Liu Bei when she was young, and she didn't suffer anything, and the days here in the cold palace were not sad for her, but for her, the saddest thing was that she missed her husband and son, and she didn't care much about what she ate and what she worn.
