Chapter 018: Empress Dowager Dou's Old North Nose

Walking out of Changle Palace full of worry, looking at the crowd of people walking by on Zhangtai Street outside the palace gate, Shen Tujia's heart can be said to have sunk into the abyss.

Shen Tujia never thought that a white-haired person sending a black-haired person could be so destructive!

Just half a year ago, Shen Tujia also received ten catties of gold and a piece of cloth from the Empress Dowager Bo for reprimanding Chao Wrong in court;

Shen Tujia clearly remembered that at that time, although the Empress Dowager Bo was full of gorgeous hair and was sick all day long, her words and demeanor were still full of vitality, and people couldn't remember the old Empress Dowager at all, who was nearly seventy years old.

It seems that as long as the former emperor Liu Heng is by his side, all the difficulties will not be difficult for this old queen mother who has experienced vicissitudes and years of suffering.

But today, when Shen Tujia entered the palace again, he could no longer see even the slightest bit of anger in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Bo.

- mourning, nothing is greater than heart death;

The death of the former emperor Liu Heng shattered the last trace of survival in the heart of the Empress Dowager Bo;

Empress Dowager Bo has calmly waited for the arrival of death······

"Alas······"

"Half a year after the emperor's funeral, everything has changed······"

"Chao Wrong ······"

"Wrong ·········"

Seeing his master walk out of the palace gate, but did not come to the carriage, but put his hands behind his back, sighing at the street outside the palace, the old butler's face could not help but swell with a touch of sorrow;

But soon, the appearance of a figure gave birth to some wings on the old butler's face.

"Is the prime minister okay?"

A hearty shout sounded at the palace gate, causing Shen Tujia to subconsciously turn around;

After seeing the man's face clearly, Shen Tujia's eyebrows also carried a touch of long-lost harmony.

"Doctor Yuan."

He smiled and arched his hand, but it caused the man to trot forward, smiled heartily, and waved his hand to Shen Tujia.

"The prime minister can no longer be called a 'doctor';"

"Contemptible, he has been robbed of his official title by His Majesty, and now he is just a white ······"

Hearing Yuan An's words, Shen Tujia shook his head and smiled, and then raised his head half-mockingly, half-meaningfully, and raised his head towards the gate of Changle Palace where Yuan Ang had just walked out.

"Although the old man has not been the prime minister for a long time, as early as the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, he has already become the county guard of 2,000 stones;"

"Since the Han Dynasty, in the past forty or fifty years, the old man has never seen a person with a 'white body' who can enter and leave Changle Palace freely?"

Hearing the deep meaning of Shen Tujia's words, Yuan Ang only smiled self-deprecatingly, and said while accompanying Shen Tujia forward: "It's just that the Queen Mother is merciful, pitiful and despicable······"

Seeing that Yuan Ang didn't want to say more, Shen Tujia didn't ask in detail, but he also secretly guessed Yuan An's intention to enter the palace today.

In a few moments, the two of them walked not far away, in front of Shen Tujia's extremely dilapidated carriage;

Without waiting for Shen Tujia to speak, Yuan Ang bowed to Shen Tujia again with a smile.

"If the prime minister doesn't dislike the identity of a contemptible person, I hope he can go in the same car as Cheng."

·

The carriage staggered along Zhangtai Street, and from time to time there was a 'squeak' sound of wooden ruts rubbing.

Shen Tujia's attention was completely attracted by the man in front of him.

Compared with Shen Tujia, who is over seventy years old, Yuan Ang looks a lot younger in terms of actual age and appearance;

The upright face, the gentle and elegant temperament, the bookish atmosphere revealed in the gestures, and the boldness that makes people feel happy all the time in the conversation, anyone who sees such a person will not recognize the praise: so beautiful!

But it is obvious that today's Shen Tujia has no interest in appreciating Yuan An's 'beauty'.

"Doctor Zhong entered the palace today, shouldn't he be chatting with the Queen Mother?"

Seeing Shen Tujia's straightforward question, Yuan Ang was a little surprised, and then he also smiled and bowed his hand to Shen Tujia.

"It's the same as Cheng, and I came here to thank the prime minister for saving his life."

"——The wrong villain slandered and bewitched His Majesty, if it weren't for the prime minister's righteous words, I am afraid that the contemptible person would not be able to sit in the prime minister's carriage now."

Yun lightly thanked him, and Yuan Ang also lowered the smile on his face slightly, and between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but bring a burst of seriousness.

"As for today, going to Changle Palace to see the Queen Mother, firstly, it is also to thank the Queen Mother for saving her life;"

"The ······ of the two"

Meaningfully stopped talking, and looked at Shen Tujia meaningfully, Yuan Ang sat up straighter.

"What is the prime minister's plan for the wrong thing?"

"Do you want to let it go, let Chao wrong slander and bewitchment, let Your Majesty make a big mistake, and push the temple community left by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen to a situation of no return?"

As soon as these words came out, as Yuan Ang expected, Shen Tujia's face immediately swelled with anger.

In the originally sluggish temperament, there was suddenly a burst of confidence that I didn't know why.

"I was just a soldier, and with my ability to pull a strong bow and a crossbow, I was valued by Emperor Taizu Gao; Later, he was appointed as a lieutenant for his contribution to attacking Xiang Yu and Di Bu. ”

"After Emperor Taizong Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, I was lucky enough to get the title of Marquis of Guannei; After the Marquis of Beiping resigned and went home, he became the prime minister by luck. ”

"I am very afraid of the status and power I have obtained now, but I dare not forget the kindness of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen for a moment."

Hearing Shen Tujia's words, Yuan Ang only nodded heavily, and then saw his upper body leaning forward, stretching out his hand with a serious face, and slapping Shen Tujia's thigh violently!

"The prime minister doesn't dare to forget the kindness of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and the contemptible people don't dare to forget it either!"

"So I entered the palace today to persuade the Queen Mother to summon Chao Cuo to enter the palace, so that Chao Cuo would dispel the idea of cutting the domain!"

Just this sentence made Shen Tujia's face anxious: "How?!" ”

"Queen Mother, can you agree?"

asked impatiently, but Yuan Ang shook his head gloomily.

"The Queen Mother said that His Majesty has made up his mind about the matter of cutting the domain; As a mother, the Queen Mother is inconvenient to persuade ······"

As soon as these words came out, in the small carriage, Shen Tujia's recognizable heavy sigh sounded.

"That's exactly ······"

"The Queen Mother is reluctant to come forward, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, and Your Majesty is even more resigned to Chao Mis······"

"Alas~~~"

Shaking his head and sighing with loneliness, Shen Tujia's heart had already been wrapped in a layer of stiff ice.

In Shen Tujia's view, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is now mad, and the only people who can stop Liu Qi are the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

If the two queen mothers are unwilling to come forward, no matter how Shen Tujia is, they will not be able to stop Liu Qi at all.

- Even if Shen Tujia is the prime minister, the same is true······
