Chapter IV
That year, the emperor died, she became the queen mother, and she went against the Zhao Si eunuch everywhere, and she really hated this person at that time.
This Zhao Si's father-in-law has been serving the emperor since he was a child, and he has followed him since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the emperor's preferences, and he is good at figuring out people's hearts. When his stepfather died of illness, he was gradually reused by the emperor.
After the emperor was fascinated by alchemy and became immortals, this Zhao Si went around to help collect all kinds of precious herbs for refining pills, and then recommended a priest, the Taoist priest looked no more than forty years old, his face was white, but he said that he was one hundred and nineteen years old.
I don't know if the emperor at that time was old, confused and confused, so he believed in this Taoist priest, and since then he has been even more obsessed with refining pills in order to become immortals. built an alchemy room in the palace, and practiced the immortal path with this Taoist priest day and night.
That Zhao Si also gained more and more sacred hearts, so that all the ministers who entered the palace to meet the emperor had his consent, and he was in charge of all major affairs of the court.
For this reason, Xue Yu's grandfather admonished him several times, but in the end there was no news, and the emperor had not been in court for a long time.
Xue Yu didn't know the height of the sky at that time, and often found trouble with Zhao Si, if it weren't for Zhao Si, she wouldn't have entered the palace. It was all because he and the Taoist priest united and said that her birthday was helpful to His Majesty the Emperor's Dragon Spirit, and when the emperor heard it, he immediately issued an order to allow her to be the queen.
Under a holy decree, she became the queen of the Daye Dynasty, but the emperor can be her father. When my grandfather found out, he knelt outside the palace gate for a day and a night, so that he fell ill with a leg disease, but the Son of Heaven was unmoved.
The emperor was quite fond of her, and every day he would show it, and he would not do anything, just let her read and write with her, or let her recite scriptures, and later she learned that it was because she was a little like the emperor's deceased daughter.
The emperor has a lot of sons, and his daughter is just such a daughter, who has been pampered since she was a child, but when she grew to Xue Yu's age, she suffered from illness.
He searched all over the world for famous doctors but couldn't find the cause of the disease, so he had to use expensive medicinal materials every day to continue his life, and he died in less than a year. He was so sad that his hair turned half white overnight, and he became obsessed with alchemy and became an immortal, pursuing immortality.
At that time, Xue Yu was favored by the emperor, and from time to time he asked for trouble with the eunuch, but he was calm, ignored it at all, and took the initiative to avoid her.
Xue Yu didn't want to let him go, although she was smart but still young, she lacked strategy, she went straight to everything, and everyone in the palace could see that she hated Zhao Si.
At this time, Xue Yu didn't know that Zhao Si was advancing by retreating, and outsiders only seemed to think that she was oppressing him in everything and provoking trouble for no reason, and even the emperor had reprimanded her.
Later, her grandfather died, and the eunuch did not give in at all, the charcoal fire in the New Year's Festival, the ice cubes in the middle of summer, Xue Yu got either not enough, or it was inferior, and even the food was reduced.
At this time, the emperor was completely obsessed with the fairy road, not to mention the affairs of the harem, that is, the major affairs of the country were completely abandoned, her grandfather was alive in the past, and the emperor occasionally went to the court, since his grandfather went, he no longer listened to the admonitions of other officials, and Zhao Si was favored by the saints, and the officials were afraid of him.
Two months after her grandfather went, the emperor also went due to an overdose of pills, and Xue Yu began her widowhood career at a young age. She is the queen, no matter which son of the former emperor becomes the emperor, she is the queen mother.
The emperor's first two sons died young, and the third son, Xiao Lu, was the most likely person to become the emperor, but at this time, Zhao Si had an edict in his hand, and Xiao Zheng was the emperor.
The princes are not convinced, Xiao Zheng is just a little doll, and his mother is a palace maid, who has long since died, so how can he succeed to the throne as emperor. However, the form is stronger than people, Zhao Si has already mastered the government and military, and when the emperor goes, he will control the forbidden army and the Kyoto guards, and the princes have no military power and cannot compete with him head-on.
At this time, Zhao Si began to torture Xue Yu, not to mention the lack of clothes, he liked to throw snakes, insects and mice into her dormitory, every time he saw her crying and screaming and running out of the palace door, he felt very happy, and the next day he would order the waiter to catch the snakes, insects and mice away.
So far, Xue Yu never dared to sleep at night, thinking that he might as well kill her directly.
Xue Yu was tortured to lose her arrogance and lose her temper in this year, but her hatred for Zhao Si was increasing day by day, she held on to her breath, how could she watch Zhao Si die before she died.
Later, Xiao Zheng knew that he would run to her bedroom every night to sleep with her, and he always said that Xue Yu was the only person in this palace who was good to him.
Xue Yu saw him when he first entered the palace, and at first glance he thought that he was only four or five years old, but he didn't want to be eight or nine years old, dressed simply and shabby.
Although he is the emperor's son, because the emperor does not pay attention to it, and his mother has long since died, those servants and palace maids bullied him.
Xue Yu looked at him very pitiful, so he loved him a little more, and every day he would send someone to ask him about his food and clothing, and gradually the people around him did not dare to bully him.
A month later, the great Sima Dong Yi recaptured fifteen cities successively, and everyone in the world loved and admired them. In order to show his appreciation, the emperor decreed that he would be the prime minister and manage the military and political power.
Half a month later, the Queen Mother decreed that the girl of the Dong family would become the queen and canonize two other wives, both of whom were members of the Dong family.
On the day of the emperor's wedding, he said to her, "This harem already belongs to the Dong family." ”
Xue Yu was silent.
The next day, Xue Yu was dressed in formal clothes, sat upright, and was worshiped by the queen and his wife.
"Queen Wanwang and her wife abide by the palace rules, live in harmony with the harem, be diligent and thrifty and love the people, open branches and leaves for the emperor as soon as possible, and give birth to the emperor's heir."
"No."
The other two ladies Xue Yu had never seen before, and now it seems that the youngest lady was only eight or nine years old, and she looked ignorant and childish.
After the emperor's wedding, Dong Yi continued to go north, winning all the way, capturing three cities one after another.
When he fled to the capital and just settled, the ministers wrote to Dong Yi to send troops to fight against Huo Ren and recapture Kyoto, but he put it aside and suffered a lot of infamy, but there was a shortage of soldiers and horses, and then he expanded it to be known as 300,000 soldiers and horses.
Dong Yi and his entourage were blocked from going to Jianye, and I heard that it had been three days, and the news had spread to the harem, I am afraid that it would be more than that.
In the past, all the news that came to the harem was Dong Yi's great victory, and many people who were blocked this time did not take it as a thing, and it was only a matter of time before the prime minister won a big victory.
"Mother, letter from the south." Aunt Su said softly.
"Xiao Lu? Bring. ”
Xue Yu didn't know how he could evade Dong Yi's spy and deliver the letter to her.
She was not familiar with these sons of the emperor, but Xiao Zheng took pity on him at that time, so she took care of him more.
Now Xiao Lu is called king in the south, saying that he is the king is just being held hostage by Wang Yiren, if the little emperor dies one day, maybe he is the emperor, after all, he is also the son of the first emperor, Xiao Zheng has no heirs.
That Wang Yiren is a local assassin, and after the court was in turmoil by Huo Ren, he took the opportunity to start an incident, under the slogan of strangling the traitors and restoring the royal family, but it was just a wolf's ambition, so Xiao Lu took advantage of the gap to take refuge in him.
Xue Yu glanced at ten lines and burned on the candle flame.
