The topic gradually came to the point, and the king of Yichuan simply took Yuan Dezhi away from the empty hall, walked along the verandah to a rather secluded courtyard, and went to a green house covered by green bamboo, and gave the entourage a look.

The king of the county only picked a head, and the green-shirted guest talked eloquently, a soft language of Wu Nong, the topic revolved around the famous Sichuan monuments and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, and those legends and allusions were endless, and even the countryside and suburbs, what rare and strange things had happened in the past ten years, he could talk like a river, Yuan Dezhi was in the south of the Yangtze River for several terms, and he thought that he was invincible to this green-shirted guest who was widely informed.

But he was like falling into five clouds, and he didn't know what the truth was when the king of the county had just raised that exciting question, and then asked the green-shirted guest to talk about Jiangnan customs.

The king of Yichuan looked coldly at Yuan Dezhi at the beginning and cooperated with the monk he met by chance, but then he was completely speechless, of course, he understood the doubts in the hearts of the guests, and when the green-shirted monk showed that he was hot enough, the king of Yichuan sent him away for a while, but he did not completely plan to relieve Yuan Dezhi's doubts, and only asked with a smile: "What does Zuo Cheng think about this person?" ”

Yuan Dezhi pondered for a while, and replied: "Immortal wind bones, well-read, especially eyes, looking at each other like an abyss, humble looks, as if he is a cultivator?" ”

Yoshikawa bowed his head and asked: "If you say that this monk has been in Jiangnan for more than ten years, will he be trusted?" ”

"Of course it doesn't raise suspicion." Yuan Dezhi affirmed it without hesitation this time.

"In this way, Lao Zuocheng told Concubine Xian, saying that this monk was acquainted with you in office and recommended to the court."

When Yuan Dezhi heard this, he thought of the assumption put forward by the county king earlier, and his heart was terrified, and he hurriedly bowed down: "The county king is ...... Forgive me for being blunt, but do you want to use this priest to do the key to the reserve? ”

Although the words are secretive, the meaning is clear, if the Son of Heaven dies without an heir, the Queen Mother will inevitably choose a son and nephew in the clan to succeed to the throne, according to the ambition of the Queen Mother, of course, she will not hand over the power to adult sons and nephews, only ignorant children succeed to the throne, the Queen Mother is in the court to listen to the system is justified, the second son of the county prince He Er, is Xiao Wei's family, is not the best candidate? However, although the Son of Heaven has no heirs at the moment, he has not yet reached the age to stand, how can he naturally die without an heir?! The king of the county asked him to recommend this scholar to the palace, but it was obvious that he wanted to achieve this matter, which was related to the life of the family, and the slightest case would be a catastrophe for the clan, even if Yuan Dezhi was also ambitious, but he had to be cautious.

The king of Yichuan County did not admit that he had this plan, and his smile did not decrease: "How many emperors in the previous dynasty trusted the Taoist elixir in order to seek immortality, but not only did not achieve the goal, but died of erysipelas, although the queen mother also believes in Buddhism, but her mind has never been clear, she only has an only son of the saint, of course she will not rashly allow the saint to take the pill, I asked Zuo Cheng to recommend this monk to enter the palace, if the trouble is so obvious, wouldn't it hurt Zuo Cheng?" ”

Yuan Dezhi was relieved when he heard what the king of the county meant, as if he didn't want to offer the pill.

"This monk has thaumaturgy, not relying on pills, but can attract people's souls, so that life and death are linked, the saint has been suffering for many years because of the early death of Empress Pei, so that he is depressed and concentrated, if the monk does the method and unravels the knot in the saint's heart, the queen mother will definitely try, but ...... The final result depends on whether Empress Pei's undead are willing to persuade the saint. Seeing that Yuan Dezhi was still a little hesitant, the king of Yichuan County leaned over slightly, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have inquired, the saint has been depressed for many years, and the dragon body is really worried, if he does not express it, it will definitely damage Shouyuan, but the queen mother obviously has no good prescription at this time, and Zuo Cheng recommended the priest at this time, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow." ”

After speaking, Yichuan slowly leaned back, and smiled again: "Zuo Cheng has great ambitions, however, even if the Queen Mother is in the court, the most relied on are Wei and Xie, and even the Liu family is above Zuo Cheng, but if Zuo Cheng is willing to cooperate sincerely with Xiao Wang...... Xiao Wang is willing to promise that Zuo Chengquan will be above the government and the opposition. ”

——

Since Empress Dowager Wei took power again, Gu Huaien, the inner chamberlain, was expelled for being involved in Feng Bozhang's corruption case, and in the palace bureau, Dou Fu'an has become one person under ten thousand people, and now he is not only in charge of the important position of the inner chamberlain, but also serves as the general of the prison guard, which breaks the rules of several generations of emperors, and the prince and military generals are responsible for the palace ban, but the eunuch is in charge of the palace ban.

Empress Dowager Wei's appointment was not questioned by the courtiers, in addition to the strong support of Wei, Xie and Mao, there is also a reason that there is a precedent to follow, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong all appointed eunuchs as prison guards, which is also because the palace ban is important, and the emperor does not trust the foreign ministers, and the eunuchs serve in the inner court, and the emperor trusts the emperor.

At present, Dou Fu'an is really proud and majestic, at least in the palace, he is a master who says the same, except for Empress Dowager Wei, even Concubine Xie Shu, who is in charge of palace affairs, has to be respectful to Dou Fu'an.

In the afternoon of this day, the high-spirited Dou attendant entered the Hanxiang Palace, along the way the eunuch palace E's all avoided the way to salute, he raised his head and did not squint, until the queen mother was in front of the palace before bowing his waist, and did not wait for the palace people to pass on, but went straight in, seeing Liu Shi Niang was reciting a policy that I don't know who presented it, he did not evade, stood aside and did not speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at this trusted henchman, knowing that she had something important to do, but she patiently listened to the strategy, and then motioned to the people, including Shi Niang, to step back for the time being, waved her hand to sit down, and asked, "How?" ”

These two words have no beginning and no end, and only Dou Fu'an understands what the Queen Mother is asking, with a flattering smile: "The Queen Mother Shengming, the slave maid will list the Queen Mother to promote the positions of Zhonglang General, Lang General, etc., you are really grateful, and have successively shown their sincerity and loyalty. ”

In the past few months, the planning of this important task has gone so smoothly, so that the Queen Mother feels quite happy, and the corners of her lips are also soothed, and she said with a smile: "Shang Zhi is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and now he is older, and it is too unsatisfactory to transfer him to guard the border, but I heard that he has a very hot temper, and he did not deal with Qi Hou when he was young, and the two families are in trouble until now, and they are already on the same page. ”

The Queen Mother groaned slightly and said, "Now that the palace ban is basically in your hands, you can free up your hands to do another thing." He Ye sighed again: "He Ye's recklessness killed the spring warbler, so that I had to give him the elixir, so that I am actually stretched thin and no one can use it at the moment, otherwise a trivial matter, why can I only rest assured if I hand it over to you." ”

Then let's get to the point: "The palace man next to Concubine Xian, named Qiao Jiao, has not stopped recently, bought the palace maid of the floating incense gallery to wait for the companion to read the living room, and instigated the Fei girl to target Eleven Niang, Fei Niang is also a stupid person, and she is very self-righteous, but although she hates Eleven Niang in her heart, she can't think of a way to deal with it, so she will use the means of slandering people behind her back, you send someone to wake her up, and let her persuade Concubine Shu to help." ”

Dou Fu'an obviously hasn't handled this kind of "trivial" for a long time, but of course he won't disobey the order, but he just asked with a little hesitation: "Does the Queen Mother want to reuse Liu Shiniang?" ”

"This girl is really what I want, she has been in the palace for a year, and everything is going well, without any disobedience." Seeing Dou Fu'an, the Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have a different opinion?" ”

Dou Fu'an didn't dare to conceal it: "According to the slave maid, Liu Shiniang is indeed smart and serious, but ...... In the end, he was born in Jingzhaoliu...... The slave maid is foolish, and in the future, it is more appropriate for the princess of Jin to be the two little ladies of the Xie family. ”

Empress Dowager Wei rubbed her forehead: "The Xie family is indeed more credible, but the housewife is narrow-minded, and she really can't train people, Fei girl."

Don't mention it, the mind is not as good as Concubine Shu, Rao Ping's granddaughter Ying'er, it's even more of a headache, this year, I have exhausted my hard work, but Ying's girl has not made any progress at all, and every time she returns home and enters the palace, she has to cry and cry, how can there be hope? Anyway, Princess Jin is not in a hurry, and it is okay to look at it for another three or two years, but I really like Eleven Niang, and I will let her be completely convinced by the time. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, Dou Fuan had no choice but to take orders.
