Chapter 39: The Han Family
The movement of changing guards in the palace is not insignificant, and it is naturally seen by people with a heart.
In the big mansion in Qingliang Mountain, a middle-aged man who looked like an official family bowed down and reported to the old man sitting on the Taishi chair: "It's all to blame Huawu's boy for talking too much, since it is Fan Zeng of the secret spy department, he will definitely find out about our house soon, what to do now, please show the old lady." β
The old man sneered: "The imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty has always been like a sieve, how can Fan Zeng have eight hands to block it?" If he wants to check, just go and check, unless he can replace all the forbidden troops guarding the Imperial City, oh, yes, even if he replaces them all, it won't help! β
The middle-aged man scratched his hand on his neck: "Do you want to-"
The old man shook his head and said, "Since the two of them have been exposed, it will be useless to kill them." Besides, some small things will have to sacrifice the people below, who will dare to help us do things in the future? β
"What does the old lady mean?"
The old man didn't answer, he turned sideways and beckoned to his grandson who was standing behind him: "Yuan Bao'er, come forward." Grandfather wants you to go to the palace immediately, do you dare? β
The boy with the nickname Yuan Baoer straightened his small chest: "Why don't you dare to enter the palace?" Could it be that there is a beast in the palace that can eat grandchildren? β
The old man took one of his grandson's hands and said, "There are no beasts." Now that your emperor's uncle is investigating the palace people who delivered news to the outside of the palace, maybe there will be a scene of flesh and blood, aren't you afraid? β
The boy swallowed his saliva: "Grandfather said that to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty, you must be able to manage the army on the horse and the people on the horse." I'm afraid of even a little blood, how can his grandson lead the Northern Expedition and recover the old frontier? Grandfather just commands, and the grandson will do it properly! β
The old man smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, well, it is worthy of the species of my Han family, and it has not fallen into the prestige of your great-ancestor King Weijun!" Grandfather wants you to go to the palace immediately to ask to see your aunt, and ask your aunt for a small favor. β
The old man turned his head to the middle-aged butler and ordered: "You immediately let people bring a message to Hua Wu and Yuan Cai, and let them do what I say, and don't talk nonsense for the rest!" β
The old man is the son of Han Qi, the king of Wei County of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Jiayan, the captain of the horses, and the boy is Han Jiayan's grandson, Han Qi's great-grandson Han Yanxuan (Tuo Zhou), who is only seven years old now, but he has the style of his great-grandfather.
Han Qi Han Zhigui, after Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong three dynasties, has "three dynasties, two emperors" said, he passed on the most famous sentence of later generations is "Donghua Gate roll call is a good man", for the Song Dynasty to suppress the military and heavy literature of the national policy to lay the foundation.
Han Yanxuan's mother is the sister of Empress Wu, and it is naturally very convenient for him, a nephew, to visit his aunt in the palace.
Empress Wu had no children, and she was so happy to see this nephew, "Yuan Bao'er, you have time to see your aunt today." Let my aunt see, you seem to have grown taller than the last time I saw you! β
Han Yanxuan said with a smile: "Yuan Bao'er is naturally willing to enter the palace every day to ask her aunt for peace, but the master is strict, if it weren't for the fact that every family in Lin'an City is closed, and there is a holiday in school, Yuan Bao'er will not be allowed to enter the palace!" β
Empress Wu took him to sit on the couch with her distressedly, "Tell my aunt quickly, what's going on in the house?" Have you been wronged? β
Han Yanxuan smiled and said: "Everything is fine in the house, Yuan Bao'er has not been wronged." Yuan Bao'er still has something to ask her aunt for help today. β
After listening to her nephew's words, Empress Wu condensed and said, "How can you be careless in this situation now?" Forget it, you're still a kid, what did I tell you! Since your grandfather has arranged it, you go and invite your imperial uncle to go back to the house first, there are many things in the palace, and I will let you enter the palace to talk to me in a few days! β
Empress Wu raised her voice and asked, "Is it okay to be with Yuan Bao'er?" β
Han Yanxuan jumped down and said goodbye to Queen Wu: "Auntie, don't worry, the people with Yuan Bao'er are all personally selected by my grandfather, and they are very appropriate people!" β
Han Yanxuan asked the emperor to say goodbye, and went out of the palace to return to his house, and no one paid attention to his seven-year-old child.
When he was holding the lamp, Zhao Gou invited Empress Wu to the imperial study to discuss something.
There were several people kneeling in the imperial study, and kneeling in the middle were Yuan Cai and Hua Wu. Although Empress Wu didn't know Hua Wu, Yuan Bao'er described it to her, and now she naturally knows that it is him when she sees it.
Wu Yang and Fan Zeng were both there, and when they saw the queen, they hurriedly saluted, "See the queen!" β
"Well, get up. What are the faults of these people? Why did you kneel in the imperial study of the official family? β
Empress Wu walked towards the emperor as she spoke, Zhao Gou's face was not good-looking, and he said with a slight sarcasm: "The queen doesn't know what mistakes they have made? So, the queen didn't know that they had passed the news outside the palace privatelyβ"
Zhao Gou lengthened his voice and looked at his queen meaningfully.
Zhao Gou's mood was very complicated, Empress Wu's father was only a low-level military attachΓ©, and Empress Wu was only a small talented person when she came to him. Who knew that Empress Wu's sister was married to Han Cheng, the son of Han Jiayan, the commander of the horses.
Originally, everyone thought that as soon as Han Qi died, his son became a princess again, and the Han family declined. Who would have thought that Han Jiayan would reconnect his father's old connections with the help of the eldest princess of Tang Guo over the years, and he would faintly become the pillar of Zhao Gou. After Qin Hui's death, Han Jiayan became the "hidden phase" of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou even noticed that compared with Tang Siwei and Chen Kangbo in the court, Han Jiayan had more power to influence the court!
Hua Wu, who was kneeling, suddenly took a few steps on his knees, kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Queen, it's the last general who deserves to die!" I almost missed the queen's orders! β
Empress Wu said lightly: "Yuan Bao'er has already said to the palace just now, everything is fine in Qingliangtai, and you can't be wrong, why did you annoy Your Majesty?" β
Hua Wu said ashamedly: "The last general got the letter from Yuan Caichuan and knew that Lord Wu had persuaded His Majesty, and the predicament of Lin'an City was about to be solved. The last general is happy in his heart, the last general has no reserves at home, and his wife and children have had a really difficult time these days. When the last general left the palace, he saw a few important ministers' mansions and relatives, and he wanted them to know the good news as soon as possible, but he never thought that it would be a big mistake, so that the emperor and queen would be born, and the last general deserved death! β
Empress Wu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "This palace is worried about Your Majesty these days, and is also worried about the sister family of Qingliangtai, so I have to let Yuan Cai pay more attention, but I didn't expect to offend Your Majesty, it is this palace that is not thoughtful, please punish Your Majesty!" β
Zhao Gou trembled with anger, he pointed at the queen and scolded: "Queen, you are so bold! β
Empress Wu leaned over and bowed: "It's all the fault of this palace, please punish Your Majesty, don't be angry!" β
Zhao Gou said coldly: "The queen gets up, what kind of body does the mother of your country always kneel!" I'm going to punish these dog minions with long ears and many mouths and tongues first! Someoneβ"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, he might be able to kill Yuan Cai and Hua Wu on the spot, Empress Wu said in a hurry: "Hua Wu and Yuan Cai were indeed sent to them by the palace, what is the matter with these minions below?" β
