Lushunfang, Han's mansion, not far from the back door, in a secluded cottage.

A highly decomposed corpse was placed on a door panel, and the men of the Han family gathered together to look at the corpse.

The eldest lord of the family, "Shouxianghou" Han Ping, and the second lord Han Gui sat in the chair with a gloomy face.

The eldest young master Han Yao, the second young master Han Dachang, the third young master Han Dafu and others stood aside in a low mood.

Young Master Han Fei stood next to the corpse with a panicked face, suddenly indignant, but he couldn't say anything.

The young Eighth Young Master Han Shuang put his hands behind his back and glanced at Han Fei with cold eyes.

Although others couldn't recognize this corpse, the Han family recognized that it was Han Chun, the fourth young master of the Han family.

In the years of famine, Han donated a large amount of food to the imperial court, and Emperor Tiande was overjoyed, and in recognition of Han, he married Miss Han into the palace. And this Miss Han is the current Empress Dowager Han.

When Emperor Tiande was there, the scenery of the Han family was not a problem. But after the crown prince ascended the throne, it was said that the queen mother was crazy, and Emperor Wanlong did not allow anyone to see the queen mother, saying that he was protecting the queen mother from the outside world. But the Han family knew in their hearts that the good times of the Han family had passed.

In the past, if the Empress Dowager Han wanted to do anything, she asked the palace maid Han Ju to come out to contact. And if the Han family wants to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, they all let the fourth young master Han Chun enter the palace. Because Emperor Tiande said that Han Chun was a boy and a girl, he liked me very much. But Emperor Tiande died, and Han Ju was executed by Emperor Wanlong, and Han Chun disappeared half a month before Emperor Wanlong ascended the throne.

Uncle Han Ping said: "Send a letter to the third child and let him take the initiative to resign." ”

He called the "third child", formerly known as Han Yong, and after being appointed as a Zhonglang general by Emperor Tiande, he changed his name to Han Tingjun. Now he leads 10,000 Xuanjia troops to guard Dagu Pass, one of the eight passes in Luoyang.

Second Master Han Gui nodded and said, "I'll go see him in person." ”

Han Ping stood up, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Don't make a noise, don't go to the ancestral grave, just say that the fourth child has never been found, and this corpse is a distant relative of my family." ”

After that, Han Ping was leaving. At this time, the eldest young master Han Yao said: "The Pingkangfang Department sent the corpse, do you want to thank you?" ”

Han Ping said: "Of course, I want to thank you, and I have to thank the person who found the body." Now is a special period, our family must be extra cautious and cautious, and must not offend anyone. Even if it's a street boy. ”

Han Ping's last sentence was for Han Fei. Han Fei formed a gang in Beishi and caused a lot of trouble. Just now, the eighth young master Han Shuang also said, don't be because Han Fei caused trouble in Beishi, so he was retaliated against and killed the fourth brother.

……

In the dark night, a thin little eunuch followed the imperial doctor into the imperial city from the Zuoye Gate, walked through the Chongguang Gate, and entered the Zuozang Palace.

Entering here, the little eunuch separated from the imperial doctor's team and hid on the side of the Anning Gate. Imperial Doctor Wang, who was originally walking at the back, tilted his head slightly and glanced at the little eunuch. The little eunuch was full of gratitude and bowed deeply to the royal physician, who shook his head and strode inside.

The little eunuch was very familiar with the terrain of the palace, found a remote place, and looked up at the high wall. The little eunuch has some martial arts, although the walls of the palace are high, they can't stop him.

Avoid the watchtower and the patrol's sight, climb over the wall and enter the Changqiu Palace. He wanted to enter the Feixiang Hall through the back door, but when he squinted, he found that there were two palace maids standing at the back door.

The little eunuch was anxious, but he was helpless, squatting in the corner of the wall, where the moonlight could not shine.

After squatting for a full two quarters of an hour, he still couldn't think of a solution, and he was so anxious that he sweated on the top of his head. Suddenly, a cat jumped out from behind the threshold. It was the queen mother who loved to pet the little fox, and the cat first stretched her waist, and then looked around.

The little eunuch's heart moved, and he swiped his hand on the ground, hoping to make some sound and imitate a mouse. It's a pity that the voice is too small, and even the cat didn't hear it. The little fox walked in the opposite direction on his own. The little eunuch closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, looking helpless.

It was not long before the cat turned back, this time closer, and the little eunuch scratched at the ground with his hand again, this time attracting the cat to run over.

The cat looked at the little eunuch, was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and rubbed his head against it.

"Little fox, little fox, whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

While speaking, the little eunuch picked up the little fox and walked towards the main hall blatantly, and when he saw two strange palace maids, he said with a smile: "This little guy actually ran to the Anning Palace, Concubine Tang is afraid of this thing, let our family blow it away quickly." We knew it, and we knew it was the Queen Mother, so we sent it. ”

Listening to the royal doctor, this group of palace maids were newly arranged to enter the palace, and they must not know a few eunuchs, so the little eunuch Zhang Cong took a risk.

Zhang Cong once offered a plan to the Queen Mother, intercepting and killing Tang Qiong, the Duke of Anguo, halfway, but hit the stone with an egg and almost put his own life into it.

Zhang Cong does not have very clever wisdom, all he has is loyalty and courage, and this is enough to make him a confidant of the Queen Mother.

When he came to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was very excited.

The Queen Mother never expected that Zhang Cong would be able to venture into the palace to see her at this time.

Zhang Cong knelt in front of the Queen Mother, crying, and the unkempt Queen Mother couldn't cry.

Don't dare to light the lamp, the queen mother in the moonlight, a miserable white and painful face, distorted and deformed. But she didn't have time to suffer, suppressed her emotions, and quickly grabbed some gold and silver. I can't wait to give all the valuable items around her to Zhang Cong. Zhang Cong said, I can't take it out, I came to see the Queen Mother, I just want to ask the Queen Mother if she still has any wishes?

Empress Dowager Han was holding a jewelry box in her hand, her eyes were sad and desperate: "The emperor will not kill me for the sake of his reputation." But Meng'er (King Xu) is not easy to say. ”

While speaking, Empress Dowager Han took the bracelet back and handed it to Zhang Cong: "This was given to me by Meng'er, he must still recognize it." Take this bracelet with you to him, and tell him my words. From now on, we must be consistent with the emperor in everything. He sings whatever the emperor says. It must not be opposed to the emperor. Let him go to the propaganda, the emperor is very good to me. I'm crazy, and the emperor still honors me. If he can't do it, then let him escape, the emperor can't let him. ”

……

"Concubine Tang, I heard from the palace maid of Changqiu Palace that a little eunuch saw the Queen Mother last night."

Li Jie, the maid who followed Tang Zhao into the palace together, came to the Qianyang Hall and whispered to Tang Zhao.

"Oh?" Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you come to report at that time?" ”

Li Jie said: "Those two ignorant palace maids were deceived by the little eunuch, and they thought they were Concubine Tang's eunuchs. ”

"Useless stuff." Tang Zhao was annoyed, and his cold gaze swept towards Hu Rong: "This matter can't be hidden from Your Majesty, you have to be investigated by Your Majesty." ”

While speaking, Tang Zhao stood up and stared at the Feixiang Hall through the window: "Walking to this step of the field, she is not honest, she is just looking for death." ”

Hu Rong was silent, and Tang Zhao turned around: "The national funeral has passed, and Princess Changxia's marriage should be put on the agenda." I don't know what I asked Mr. Hu to do, how did it go? ”

Hu Rong saluted and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is ready, just wait for the grandfather to return to the court." ”

Tang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right." Although she is a little older than my father, my father is a hero among people, and he is rare. Marrying such a man, the age does not matter. ”

How did Tang Zhao tell Emperor Wanlong about the Empress Dowager Han, and how did he let Hu Rong persuade Princess Changxia, not to mention it for the time being. Today, Tang Zhao wants to summon the girl of the Feng family on Daoguangfang Meritorious Street, who is Feng Baochuan who amazes the entire aristocratic circle with her appearance.

Now everyone knows that as long as the national funeral is over, Tang Zhao will be made queen. Therefore, when the Feng family faced Tang Zhao's summons, they attached as much importance to it as they listened to the queen's summons. Prepare a dress for Feng Baochuan, bring a gift, and enter the palace to meet Concubine Tang.

Tang Zhao sat on the couch and looked at this legendary beauty, and couldn't help but envy in his heart. It's really people who live up to their name. Even when the woman sees it, she is willing to look at it twice. It is no wonder that because of her, Emperor Zhao Tian immediately stopped pursuing Tang Zhao's matter of sending the palace maid away.

Of course, she is not only beautiful, but the key is that she is also the younger sister of General Hanya Sekichu.

Helping the emperor to encircle his henchmen is also what the queen should do. And Emperor Zhao Tian was also pleased because Tang Zhao did this.

Feng Gan, the old lady of the Feng family, was given a seat by Tang Zhao.

Everyone else knelt on the ground, but Feng Baochuan, who was wearing a formal robe, knelt at the front.

"Hmm. The girl is very wonderful, and she is liked when she looks at it. ”

Tang Zhao didn't let go, and the gang continued to kneel, only to hear Tang Zhao start to talk about the rules that should be followed when being a concubine. She specially emphasized that the Empress Dowager Han has gone crazy, so when the Feng family girl comes to the palace, she must be filial to the Empress Dowager, and she must not contradict it, so as not to aggravate the Empress Dowager's condition.

Hearing this, Feng Ganshi immediately said: "If the little daughter of our family can serve the emperor and Concubine Tang, it will be a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes. As for the Queen Mother, her old man doesn't know our little girl, and our little girl doesn't know her old man. The old man is foolish, unless the emperor or Concubine Tang asks, it is better for Bao Chuan not to go to see the Queen Mother, lest Bao Chuan be ignorant and cause the Queen Mother's condition to worsen. ”

Tang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze, and asked Feng Baochuan: "What does Baochuan think is important to serve the emperor?" ”

Facing Tang Zhao's aggressive gaze, Feng Baochuan's hands and feet were cold, and as soon as he glanced up at Tang Zhao, he immediately lowered his head, did not answer directly, and glanced at Feng Ganshi with a pair of bright eyes full of embarrassment.

Feng Ganshi smiled and said to Tang Zhao: "The little girl is naturally timid, and seeing her scared like that, she is even dumb. It's a coincidence, before entering the palace, the old body also asked her this question. She said that the most important thing in serving the emperor is to abide by the rules of the palace. Because the one who makes the rules has already thought about how to serve the emperor. ”

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "It seems that he is sensible, since this is the case, I will do my best to recommend it to Your Majesty." ”
