Duckweed wanted to go up and help up Dou Yifang, but Danhe stopped her, "Let's let Mrs. cry!" ……”

It's better to vent it than to hold it!!

Concubine Pu carried Concubine Liu back to the palace, and along the way, the child cried non-stop, as if she knew that she was separated from her mother. Maybe I was tired from crying, but when I got to the palace, it finally quieted down.

In the Guangyuan Palace, Liu Heng has been anxiously waiting for the concubine to return with Liu Concubine, and there are also Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Han together.

Mrs. Han hopes to adopt this princess, although Mrs. Zhen has Liu Chong, she doesn't want to let go of Liu Chong, if Liu Concubine is also handed over to her to raise, it will be perfect.

"The concubine has arrived—"

When Liu Heng heard this, he immediately went out, and the two ladies were not far behind and followed him.

On the night Dou Yifang gave birth, when he heard the child's crying, Liu Heng wanted to go in to see the child. Now that he could see it, he couldn't wait to take it from the concubine's arms.

Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhen also came up to visit, only to see that Xiao Liu was sleeping and thinking, this demeanor was already a little like Dou Yi's room, which made Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhen feel a little nervous.

"......Slow down," said the concubine, "if she wakes up, she may cry for as long as she wants." ”

Liu Heng nodded slightly, more cautious. He was worried that there would be a lot of people who would make a noise about Liu Yan, so he asked everyone to retreat. Even the two ladies of Jane and Han are no exception.

Concubine Pu sat down on the side and let out a long sigh of relief, she felt very tired from the trip to Meiziwu.

When she left Meiziwu, she clearly heard Dou Yifang's heart-rending cry. She was very moved by that voice.

"The concubine looks very tired?"

"My lord, the mourning family wants to discuss something with you."

"It's okay for the concubine to say it directly."

"Dou Yifang also gave birth to a princess for us, which can be regarded as a credit, can she make up for it?"

Liu Heng thought for a while and asked how to make up for it.

"The mourning family thinks that since Dou Yifang has been demoted to a concubine, let her go free! ……”

"No way!"

Liu Heng said without hesitation, and his tone was also very resolute, which the concubine did not expect.

"Why?"

"Because ......" Liu Heng seems to be starting to make excuses now, "because...... Since she is already a member of my palace, even if she is already a concubine, she must abide by the rules of my palace! ”

"Since the king is resolute, the mourning family will not force it......," the concubine sighed, "The mourning family is tired, so go and rest first." Liu Concubine will be sent to the palace of the mourning family for a while, and the mourning family will raise her personally! ”

"The child sends off the mother."

Liu Heng lowered his head and did not raise his head until the concubine left.

He looked at the baby in swaddling clothes and thought of Dou Yifang. In fact, not letting Dou Yifang regain his freedom, in addition to the palace rules, there is also his selfishness.

He wanted to keep Dou Yifang by his side, so that one day he would change his mind and take Dou Yifang back to the palace.

What's more important is that he is worried that after Dou Yifang is freed, he will never be able to find Dou Yifang again.

In short, the woman he wants but can't get will not give anyone a chance to get it.

……

Not long after the night fell, Xiao Yu felt sleepy and yawned several times in a row.

Zhang Hanyan let her go to rest first, but she insisted on waiting for Zhang Hanyan to sleep first. Zhang Hanyan smiled slightly, his smile revealing a hint of cunning.

Xiao Yu didn't resist it in the end, and fell asleep while sitting on the coffee table.

Zhang Hanyan smiled proudly, gently pushed Xiaoyu, and called her name, but Xiaoyu still didn't wake up.

At this time, Zhang Hanyan took out plain silk and pen and ink, and began to write down what she saw and heard in the Dai Palace.

This is the first report she wants to send to the Empress Dowager Lu.

Without further ado, the report was finally delivered to the Han Palace after ten days of expedited form. If you want to ask Zhang Hanyan how to deliver her report out of the palace, she can only say that there are people outside to answer her.

Changle Palace.

Judging the food, he hurriedly came to the Yongshou Palace to see the Empress Dowager Lu. The palace maid told her that the Queen Mother was not available now and asked him to wait.

About a stick of incense passed, and the Empress Dowager Lu finally appeared.

But I saw that she was smiling, radiant, and flushed. Judging by the food, she seemed to have guessed what she was busy with just now, but there were just some things that she couldn't say.

"Is there anything you're here for?" Lu Hou asked. She sat down, took the teacup handed by the palace maid, and drank it gently.

"There's news from the Daigong Palace...... "Judging the food."

"Oh, who's the news?"

"Zhang Hanyan."

Lu Houwan smiled, "I knew she would definitely be pampered......"

Judging the food, he couldn't be happy, "She hasn't been honored by the king yet." ”

"Why?"

"The king mourned for the first emperor, did not approach women, did not eat meat, and did not hear drum music."

"He's quite loyal."

"I'm afraid it's just a pretending ......"

"Okay, let's talk about Zhang Hanyan's news, long story short."

Judging the food, he nodded and roughly said Zhang Hanyan's understanding of the Dai Palace.

Empress Lu knew that the palace had been lacking a queen, and the two ladies of Zhen and Han fought so hard for the throne of the harem, if it weren't for Pu Ji's involvement, this palace would never have been peaceful.

"Reply to Zhang Hanyan and let her fight for the position of queen." Lu Hou said, "Also, let her take care of Pu Ji." ”

This should come out of her mouth, and it is naturally the opposite.

Judging Shiqi nodded to show that he understood, and when he was about to retire, Lu Houyou stopped him and asked, "The mourning family wants to make a meritorious person the king, what do you think?" ”

Judging his thoughts, this is Empress Lu's desire to make the people of the Lu family king, in order to please Empress Lu, he said: "This is the right thing to do......

"But what about any objections?" Lu Hou asked again.

Judging Shiqi said a meaningful sentence, "You are the Queen Mother." ”

……

The next day, when the court was meeting, Empress Lu raised the matter, and the ministers naturally understood that she was going to open the back door for King Zhu Lufeng.

Most of the ministers were afraid of the power of the Lu family, and although they were opposed, they did not have the courage to speak out.

When Empress Lu was secretly happy, Wang Ling, the right prime minister, stood up and said: "In the past, Emperor Gao swore an oath by cutting off a white horse and saying: 'If it is not the Liu family but the king, the world will attack it together', and the queen mother wants Zhu Lu to be the king, which is not in accordance with the regulations. ”

Empress Lu was very angry when she heard this, not only because of Wang Ling's opposition, but also because Wang Ling said her intentions in public, which made her disgraced.

If it weren't for the fear of being named a virtuous person, she would have killed Wang Ling no less than a hundred times.

However, Empress Lu did not give up, and instead asked Chen Ping, Prime Minister Zuo, and said, "What is Prime Minister Zuo's opinion?" ”

She knew that Chen Ping was on her side, so she went to ask him.

Chen Ping said: "Emperor Gao calmed the world and set up his children as kings, now the Queen Mother, you are exercising the power of the emperor, and you want to crown the Lu brothers as kings, there is nothing unfeasible......

Empress Lu was overjoyed when she heard this, and when she was about to give an order, Wang Ling stood up against it again.

At this time, Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, also stood up and expressed his support for Empress Lu to crown Zhu Lu as king.

The ministers originally had the attitude of watching the fire from the other side, but when they saw that Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, the two most trusted people of Emperor Gao, were both Empress Lu, they did not dare to object.

Empress Lu didn't want to listen to the noise of the royal tomb anymore, so she dispersed the dynasty first, and the matter of sealing the king was temporarily put on hold.

After retreating from the court, Wang Ling caught up with Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, who walked out of the main hall, and reproached: "What did the two of you mean by being in the court just now?" ”

Chen Ping asked rhetorically: "Isn't it clear what Prime Minister Wang means?" ”

Wang Ling was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, "In the past, I swore an oath with Emperor Gao to drink blood, weren't you there?" Now that Emperor Gao is gone, the Queen Mother is the heroine, and she wants to make the Lu family the king, you will please and break the oath, what face will you have to see Emperor Gao under the bottom in the future! ”

Chen Ping said indifferently: "Arguing face to face, I am not as good as you; But let me ask you to protect the society and stabilize the descendants of the Liu family, can you compare to me? ”

Wang Ling became even more angry, "Everything you do, where is it to protect the Liu family?" ”

Chen Ping responded coldly: "Fight for the moment, and be brave!" ”

Wang Ling was stunned and speechless.

……

Although there was the support of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, two important ministers in the court, Wang Ling still made Empress Lu very breathless. When she returned to Changle Palace, she shouted that she would kill Wang Ling one day.

When he heard about it, he was afraid that she would do it, so he rushed to see her.

"This royal tomb has been fighting against the mourning family in the court, what do you say?" Lu Hou asked.

Judging that he had already taken a countermeasure, he replied: "The Queen Mother might as well give him a promotion." ”

"He is against the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to give him a promotion?"

"Wang Ling dares to oppose the Queen Mother, because he is the prime minister and his authority lies. The Queen Mother might as well let him be the Taifu, and on the surface he was promoted to an official, but in fact he took away his power. How else could he be an enemy of the Queen Mother? ”

This plan not only does not have to bear the infamy of killing the virtuous, but also wins the reputation of respecting the virtuous, and can even more seize the power of the royal tomb, killing three birds with one stone, why not? Empress Lu immediately issued an order and ordered someone to send it to Wang Ling.

Wang Ling was furious after hearing the order, although the status of the Taifu was more noble than that of the prime minister, but he had no real power.

In order to resist this holy decree, Wang Ling said that he was sick at home and refused to go to court. This is exactly what Empress Lu wants, and Empress Lu issued another holy decree to remove Wang Ling from the post of right prime minister, and give him money to return to his hometown.

On the day he left the capital, none of the ministers who were like-minded with him on weekdays and called him brothers and sisters went to see him off.

Wang Ling couldn't help but feel sad, feeling that the world was hot and cold, and finally understood why he had fallen to the point of being dismissed.

The carriage left Chang'an City and drove onto the avenue. A horseman on the side of the road saw Wang Ling's carriage and his retinue, so he went up to stop him, and said, "Lord Wang?" My master asked for a story. ”

Wang Ling lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the man but did not know him, and asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”

The man said, "My lord will know as soon as I see it." ”

Wang Ling asked his entourage to follow the man in a car, and after walking for about ten miles, he saw a pavilion under the shade of a tree not far away, and a carriage was parked next to the pavilion, and a person was sitting in the pavilion.

"The head of the house is in that pavilion." That's humane.

Wang Ling got out of the carriage and walked over. When he approached, he recognized the person, but he didn't expect that the person who came to see him off was actually Chen Ping, the person he hated the most.

The breeze is warm and the aroma of wine is inviting.
