Chapter Ninety-One: Goodbye Empress Dowager He
Chen Gong smiled and hugged his fists and said, "The son is too famous!" Then he asked, "Is Gongzi going to see Empress Dowager He?" ”
Zhang Lang spread his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that Gongtai knows everything, and he should also know why I want to see Empress Dowager He, right?" ”
Chen Gong smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Gongzi may not know, the reason why the alliance leader wants to call Gongzi to see Empress Dowager He is because Empress Dowager He once said that the matter of the young emperor is only willing to talk about it if Gongzi goes!" ”
Zhang Lang was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Gong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Doesn't Gongzi himself know?" ”
When Zhang Lang saw him with such an exaggerated appearance, he immediately realized what he was thinking, and immediately laughed and scolded: "I've only seen her once, and I have nothing to do with her!" ”
Chen Gong shook his head, and he didn't know whether he was really emotional or falsely emotional: "Childe is serious!" Just one side of the relationship can make the Queen Mother unforgettable! ”
Zhang Lang rolled his eyes, didn't bother to tell her, turned around and walked outside, and said, "Let's go, follow me to the palace." ”
The three men exited the gate, mounted their mounts, and ran straight towards the palace under the escort of a group of soldiers.
Chen Gong said: "Now it is still Miss Yeyu who leads the army to guard the palace. However, not long ago, Yuan Xi had led people to receive it, and the two sides almost clashed. If the leader of the African Alliance had sent someone to stop Yuan Xi in time, I am afraid that a fierce battle would break out between the two sides. ”
Zhang Lang frowned and scolded: "It's Yuan Xi again!" ”
Chen Gong nodded, and said with some emotion: "There is no family affection among the wealthy families, and there will be many things like this in the future!" ”
In Yuan's mansion, a dusty scribe came to the study, saw Yuan Shao, and immediately bowed: "Meet the lord!" The subordinates have already transported 500,000 loads of grain and grass to Luoyang! ”
Yuan Shao was very happy, stepped forward, helped the scribe, and praised: "Very good! Mr. Feng Ji does things, and he really won't let me down! "It turns out that this scribe is one of the important strategists under Yuan Shao, and he is currently on the same level as Xu You.
Feng Ji hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates don't dare to take credit." The reason why so much grain and grass was raised in such a short period of time was thanks to Mrs. Liu and Hou Dexuan. Now Mrs. Liu is still using the power of Houdexuan to raise food and grass for emergencies. ”
Yuan Shao showed a look of sighing, his eyes were full of tenderness, he obviously thought of his lady.
Thinking of another thing, he turned around and walked to the bookcase, picked up a roll of bamboo slips and returned to Feng Ji's face,
He handed him the bamboo slip and said, "This is the list of rewards I just drafted for the meritorious heroes of this crusade against Dong Zhuo. You also look and see if there's anything wrong. ”
Feng Ji promised to make a promise, stretched out his hands and bowed down to take the bamboo slips. Then he unfolded it and looked at it, frowned slightly, and handed the bamboo slip back.
Hugging his fists, he said: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates have no opinions." It's just that there is one point, and the subordinates feel that the lord should think twice. ……”
"Oh?"
Feng Ji continued: "My subordinates think that the lord's reward for the fourth prince is too heavy? The fourth prince is so young, if he is crowned a marquis, I am afraid that he will be truthful, saying that the lord's move is out of selfishness! ……”
Yuan Shao frowned.
Feng Ji saw the change in Yuan Shao's expression in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "The lord is holy and clear, and everything he does naturally has a deep meaning!" However, the subordinates really don't want to see the lord's reputation affected in the slightest! ……”
Yuan Shao smiled, and seemed to be very satisfied with Feng Ji's words.
Seeing this, Feng Ji hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "My lord, although the fourth prince has made great contributions this time, it can be described as a megatron and famous among the princes!"
However, after all, he is too young, and if he suddenly gets a high position, I am afraid that it will make him arrogant, wouldn't that harm the fourth son? Therefore, the subordinates thought that for the fourth son, it was more appropriate to reward the beauties with wealth.
Although the fourth son may be disappointed, beating the squeamishness of the fourth son is very beneficial to the fourth son in the long run. The subordinates are loyal, and please ask the lord to learn from it! ”
Yuan Shao laughed, patted Feng Ji's shoulder, and praised: "What you said is very good, it's really a slap in the face for me!" Then he nodded and said, "Mai'er is indeed too young, let's let him sharpen and sharpen more below!" ”
Feng Ji was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed: "The lord is wise!" ”
On the other side, Zhang Lang and his party came to the gate of the palace, and the Yingyang army, who was responsible for guarding the palace, was immediately on alert, and an officer stepped forward, raised his right hand and shouted: "Stop!" Don't break into the palace! ”
"It's me!" Zhang Lang raised his voice.
Only then did the officers and soldiers see clearly that it was Zhang Lang who came, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said, "Meet the son!" ”
Zhang Lang stopped and said, "I have something to go to see Empress Dowager He." ”
The officer hurriedly got up and asked his soldiers to open the palace gate. A group of soldiers immediately pushed open the palace gate, and then stood on both sides, watching Zhang Lang and them enter the palace.
In the Empress Dowager Palace, Empress Dowager He no longer lives in the cold palace, after all, Yuan Shao intends to let the young emperor return to the throne, so under the auspices of Yuan Shao, Empress Dowager He has moved back to the Empress Dowager Palace, which originally belonged to her.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs bowed down and withdrew from the dormitory, and only Zhang Lang and Empress Dowager He were left in the huge palace.
Zhang Lang glanced at the Empress Dowager He, at this time, the Empress Dowager He was no longer wearing a jinghai cloth skirt, she was even more beautiful when she changed into a palace dress, and there was a kind of nobility in this beauty, which was extremely moving.
Zhang Lang retracted his gaze, hugged his fist at the Empress Dowager He and said, "Empress Dowager!" ……”
Empress Dowager He's eyes glanced at Zhang Lang deeply, and her red lips opened and closed: "Does Yuan Gongzi know his father's intentions?" ”
Zhang Lang sighed secretly, nodded, and said, "Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!" ”
Empress Dowager He frowned and asked again: "In this way, can Yuan Gongzi still keep my mother and son safe as promised before?" ”
Zhang Lang looked at Empress Dowager He's angry eyes, and said calmly: "Since I have promised, I will definitely do it." ”
Empress Dowager He's heart trembled, and then she sneered: "You may keep your promise, but don't my son have to live like a prisoner from now on?" Do you think I, as a mother, will say yes? ”
Zhang Lang sighed and said, "This is indeed not a good thing, but at least it is alive and well-fed." But the Queen Mother, if your son is allowed to go out, I am afraid the result will be even more terrible.
Dong Zhuo, and those princes who don't want to see my father gain power, I'm afraid that they will try their best to kill your child! Because as long as the child is dead, it will be difficult for my father to be exclusive in the court, which is what many people want to see. ……”
Empress Dowager He's face turned pale, and she looked a little overwhelmed. She has been in the palace for many years, and naturally knows the cruelty of the power struggle, and her children are in exile among the people, and once their identity is revealed, they are very likely to invite death.
Zhang Lang looked at Empress Dowager He quietly, waiting for her decision. Zhang Lang is not in a hurry, because in his opinion, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.
The reason why Zhang Lang came to persuade Empress Dowager He was because of Yuan Shao's order, and secondly, because he didn't want to see the pair of orphans and widows suffer misfortune in the end.
Zhang Lang actually hasn't said something yet, he thinks that if the Empress Dowager He finally refuses to cooperate, Yuan Shao may find another Liu child to support him as the emperor, and at that time, this pair of orphans and widows may be really dangerous.
Empress Dowager He's face was cloudy, and she seemed to be making a difficult choice.
