Just when Empress Dowager He naively felt that she was wrestling with the emperor, someone couldn't sit still first.

This person is Wang Yun, who is engaged in Zhonglang.

On the pretext of engaging in the duties of Zhonglang, he entered the Changle Palace and met the Empress Dowager He.

This is the first foreign minister to be seen by Empress Dowager He after she was secluded in Changle Palace.

Seeing Wang Yun, Empress Dowager He was also a little surprised.

Originally, in her heart, even if she wanted to invite her to preside over the government again, the person who came should be Sangong.

Instead of just engaging in Zhonglang.

But thinking about Wang Yun's past deeds and his reputation above the court, Empress Dowager He felt that if the court ministers wanted to send someone to test her tone as the queen mother, Wang Yun was undoubtedly the best candidate.

If it weren't for offending Zhang Rang, Wang Yun's career would definitely be smooth sailing.

When he was imprisoned, the third duke twice joined forces and asked the emperor for forgiveness.

This is extremely rare, and it is enough to prove Wang Yun's influence above the court.

"Why did Wang Qing come?"

Empress Dowager He hid behind the bead curtain, and next to her stood Zhang Rang, who was on crutches and had an empty sleeve.

"The Queen Mother is tolerant, and the minister has some doubts in his heart and wants to ask the Queen Mother." Wang Yun, who was fifty-two years old at the time, bowed down in the hall, but his posture was as high-spirited as when he was young, neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking at Wang Yun's face, and then thinking about his miserable appearance at the moment, Zhang Rang's face suddenly became gloomy.

"What?" Empress Dowager He asked unhurriedly.

"The Queen Mother, and the state pastor Dong Zhuo doesn't see any rebellion, why did the Queen Mother kill him?" Wang Yun asked.

"It was the emperor who killed him, what does it have to do with me!" Empress Dowager He sneered, "What? Wang Zhonglang, is this for Dong Zhuo to fight injustice? People are dead, so what's the use of you crying here? ”

"The minister didn't dare, the minister just had doubts in his heart, and it was always difficult to solve, so he dared to come and ask." Wang Yun seemed to be telling a story, and said in a very calm tone, "There are a lot of soldiers and horses from all over the country who have been recruited by the general, but the imperial court has only convicted Dong Zhuo of conspiracy, I'm afraid it's not just the ministers who can't figure it out." ”

"The other ministers and doctors above the court should not be able to figure it out."

"You should ask Your Majesty about this, not come here to ask me!" Empress Dowager He said coldly.

Wang Yun's tone instantly reminded her of all the things she had encountered recently.

also made her feel that Wang Yun was deliberately insulting him.

Empress Dowager He didn't think that at this point, the Manchu Dynasty didn't know that she had been imprisoned by the emperor.

Wang Yun smiled bitterly, "The minister came to meet the Queen Mother, and he also had the intention of talking about this matter." ”

"Your Majesty is young, and there are no more things, so the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager should be advised."

"On the court, His Majesty has only been sitting for a few days, and now he has lived in the West Garden, personally staring at the rebuilding of the Naked Garden, ignoring political affairs. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and acting so recklessly is not conducive to the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager He's brows lifted up a little happily, "Your Majesty is really like this?" ”

"It seems that the Queen Mother does not know about this, Your Majesty has recruited thousands of brave men in the past few days, and is making every effort to rebuild the West Garden, this is not a sign of the Ming Jun, the Minister asks the Queen Mother to think twice about state affairs, and advise Your Majesty." Wang Yun bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

It's a pity that he didn't hear a word of his words.

She is now full of thoughts that the emperor ignores political affairs and lives directly in the West Garden.

For Empress Dowager He, this matter was like a ship on the sea, and suddenly she saw a bright lighthouse.

It made her heart jump, and her heart was wave after wave, and she instantly thought of a lot of things.

"I see." Empress Dowager He twisted her waist so that she could sit more upright and look more solemn.

The self-proclaimed name also became - I in an instant.

Seeing that Wang Yun was still lying on the palace and not leaving, Empress Dowager He asked again: "Wang Zhonglang has other things?" ”

"The minister thinks that the imperial court's handling of the Xiliang soldiers is a little inappropriate." Wang Yun said.

"Regardless of whether Dong Zhuo is really rebellious or wronged, but now that the first evil Dong Zhuo has been eliminated, the imperial court should treat those brave and warlike soldiers leniently, instead of killing them all. They only do what they are commanded to do, and they act at the command, and the blame is not on them. Rebellion was not their intention. ”

Empress Dowager He actually didn't even know very well what was going on.

She didn't know who was chasing and killing Xiliangjun, and she didn't know when it happened.

The only thing she knew was that she couldn't control it.

The army is now in the hands of the emperor, and it is unlikely that it will be regained anytime soon.

Empress Dowager He pondered, and after pondering for a while, she said, "There is a reason for this matter, Wang Zhonglang doesn't need to ask, if the others are really innocent, Your Majesty will forgive their sins." ”

"Yui!" Seeing this, Wang Yun had no choice but to remain silent, bowed his head and said, "The minister retires!" ”

After Wang Yun left the hall, Empress Dowager He looked at Zhang Rang meaningfully, "All the permanent servants have been sentenced, but you are the only one who has lost an arm and a leg, but you are still alive, why do you think so?" ”

This belongs to the classic old saying rehashed.

But Zhang Rang understood that the Queen Mother must have another reason for mentioning this matter again at this time.

He immediately knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager He, and said with sincere fear, "The slave and maid are all thanks to the protection of the Empress Dowager, so that they can leave this cheap life to survive and serve the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager He nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly: "The prince is a capable minister who can do things, and the differences between you and him in the past can be revealed!" ”

"You have caused him to be imprisoned twice, and now he is in his old age, and he is only at this age that he is once again in court. And he didn't treat you as well? I will make peace with it, and let him pass when it is time to pass. ”

Zhang Rang Fu was low and small, and pasted his gloomy face on the floor tiles, "The slave maid is only from the order of the Queen Mother." ”

After speaking, he asked cautiously, "Queen Mother, are you planning to reuse this person?" ”

Mrs. He thought about it later and said: "No matter what the emperor's reasons are for self-preservation, it is obvious that he is no longer able to control the court and deal with these scheming ministers, which is a fact. ”

"And the general's life and death are unknown, what do you think I should do?"

"I, the queen mother, must be relied on in the court!"

"The emperor is seizing power because of self-preservation, and the ministers and doctors in the court are also bullying our orphans and widows, and they all want to do things that empty the imperial power. You see, all the people who are fighting for it are trying to grab this right. ”

"If I return to the court, I must first have ears, eyes and mouths among the courtiers."

"Where's Xie?" As she spoke, Empress Dowager He suddenly asked.

Zhang Rang shook his head, "The slave hasn't seen King Chen for a few days!" ”

"Look for an opportunity to bring him to me, King Chen Liuwang is still young, and someone needs to teach him. There is a miasma of smoke in this palace, and I am not too relieved, so it is more appropriate for me to teach him in person. Empress Dowager He said.

"But Your Majesty's side ......," Zhang Rang couldn't help but be afraid when he thought about it now.

If he rashly brought King Chen Liuwang to Changle Palace, if he let the emperor know.

Whether he can stay or not, I'm afraid it will really be an unknown.

"Your Majesty, I'm free to say, what are you nervous about? You just received my will to do things, even if the day falls, it will be me, not you! Empress Dowager He said unhappily.

Zhang Rang's mouse-like courage now made Empress Dowager He very dissatisfied.

But even so, she still has to use this old slave.

Except for Zhang Rang, she is no longer available.

"Yui!" Zhang Rang responded worriedly.

The meaning of Empress Dowager He's words, Zhang Rang actually knew it in his heart.

Not only can she not count on her own birth, but she may also arrange a miserable back road for her at any time.

Then cultivate other people's lives.

And the establishment of King Chen as the emperor should be what many scholars and doctors are willing to see.

But as long as he thinks of the emperor, Zhang Rang is full of trepidation about doing this.

It's like stretching his neck repeatedly under the knife of Lord Yama.
