Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Gu Ting came to the barracks and asked to see Marquis Lu.

Mr. Dou greeted him personally, General Gu is here! Master Hou is talking about you, why don't you stay at home for two more days? General Gu's vacation still has more than ten days left.

Gu Ting chuckled, This general is here to meet my father-in-law!

The implication is that today is just a private visit, not a business.

General Gu, please! The capital has sent a few bags of new tea, and General Gu will try it too!

Okay! I have a good fortune today, let's drink some tea from Lord Hou.

Gu Ting was cheerful and seemed to be in a good mood.

He followed Mr. Dou into the signing room.

Both Lu Hou and his son were there.

Greetings to Lord Hou, Uncle!

The father and son were granted the title of marquis, uncle, and double nobles. As expected, flowers were blooming with brocade, and cooking oil was blazing fire.

Gu Ting is here, sit down and drink tea!

Lu Hou said hello.

Gu Ting thanked him and sat down next to him.

He doesn't know how to observe words and expressions, and it is difficult to tell the truth from what an old fox like Lu Hou said.

But he has his own way.

He went straight to the point, I'm here to visit Lord Hou today, but I don't understand something.

What's up?

Can Lord Hou tell the last general what plan he has next? Will he continue to pursue Xiliang? Is there any order from the imperial court?

Mr. Dou was the first to raise his eyebrows, and when he was outside the door, he kept saying that he was visiting his father-in-law. As soon as he sat down, he called him up and down and asked about business. Temper is really impatient.

Mr. Dou is not in a hurry.

Lu Hou was also in no hurry.

Lu Hou laughed, and pointed at Gu Ting, You, you are as impatient as ever. Now that you are back, you will rest at home for a few days and spend time with your wife and children. Xiao Man has already complained to Ben Hou several times, saying that you If you don’t go home, the children won’t remember you. This time, Benhou makes an exception and makes up the holiday for you, letting you rest for a month.”

Gu Ting looked troubled,

To tell you the truth, the general is used to the life in the military camp. After staying at home for two days, I was in a panic and didn't know what to do to pass the time. I felt very uncomfortable. Why don't I go back to the camp to train and go back to the city at night to accompany Xiaoman Eat with the kids.

If there is no war in the future, what will you do? Lu Hou asked with a smile, Sooner or later, you have to learn to adapt to a life of relaxation, and you can't be tensed like a bow all day long.

Gu Ting had a simple and honest look, I am used to life in the military camp, and I will stay in the military camp all my life.

Lu Hou raised his eyebrows, and laughed, Yes, yes, a good man should practice in the army. But you are old and young, and you should give the young people below a chance to practice. Go back and rest, and you will be better when you rest. Good to go to battle and kill the enemy.

Should our Northwest Army continue to pursue Xiliang? Gu Ting asked excitedly.

Lu Hou laughed and said, General Gu shouldn't and can't ask about military secrets.

Is there a decree from the imperial court?

If there is a decree involving the entire army, the Marquis will make it public.

It doesn't matter if Gu Ting doesn't get an answer.

He got up to say goodbye and didn't stay long.

Mr. Dou looked at Luhou, and after getting a tacit consent, he chased him out.

General Gu, General Gu, etc.

Mr. Dou caught up with Gu Ting, General Gu, can you do me a favor and have a drink with this old man?

Drinking at this time? Gu Ting looked at the sky, Mr. Dou is not afraid of military law?

Mr. Dou laughed, General Gu is on vacation, and the old man is also on vacation. During the vacation, you can drink at any time. Go for a walk. There is a new tavern opened at the express station. The boss is honest and gives you a discount.

...

In the signing room.

Pei Meng dama Jindao sat on the chair, Father, Gu Ting is the empress's elder brother after all. It is more beneficial for us if he stays in the northwest.

Lu Hou waved his hand, You have met and dealt with Empress Gu, what kind of person do you think she is?

Pei Meng said solemnly: She is a woman that should not be underestimated.

Lu Hou said expressionlessly: What kind of abilities does Liu Zhao have? This Marquis knows all about it. The couple have tossed up various names over the years. What role did Liu Zhao play in it?

Pei Meng frowned, What does father mean?

Lu Hou raised his eyebrows and smiled, Look at Liu Zhao not taking concubines for many years, not even a housemaid. After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he didn't draft to expand the harem. Who do you think the emperor and empress are really in charge of?

Pei Meng was silent.

Lu Hou continued: There is news from the capital that the Queen Mother has not left the Weiyang Palace for several months, and no one can enter the Weiyang Palace to visit the Queen Mother. If the imperial doctor hadn't ensured that the Queen Mother is resting, the Pei family would have suspected the Queen Mother At the same time, Empress Gu used money from her own house to build civil works and palaces in the palace. Before the palace was built, she insisted on living in the Qin Palace. Queen Gu lived in the Qin Palace, and Liu Zhao lived in the Qin Palace. Don't think there's anything wrong with that. What did you think?

Pei Meng whispered: This is not a simple discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nor is it a simple discord between mother and child.

Lu Hou nodded, This is a power struggle between the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Obviously, the Empress won. The Empress Dowager was completely defeated, and she didn't even have the power to fight back. The Empress Dowager insisted on staying at the Weiyang Palace and refused to move. It's a slap in the face to directly build a large-scale construction project in the harem!

As Liu Zhao's son, what did he do? He grounded the queen mother, and he clearly and firmly stood on the queen's side. As Liu Zhao's biological mother, the Empress Dowager can't even fight a simple dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she is incompetent! She also had a good life, married Emperor Chengzong Wende, and gave birth to Liu Zhao.

Lu Hou has always looked down on Empress Dowager Pei.

In his eyes, Empress Dowager Pei is a stupid woman who doesn't know how to use her advantages at all. Do things that are offensive.

They have all become empress dowagers and haven't learned the tricks of Gongdou yet. It is only to blame Emperor Chengzong Wende for indulging her too much, making her miss the important lesson of survival in the cracks.

Emperor Chengzong Wende didn't love Empress Dowager Pei, nor doted on her, but respected her and indulged her. Give Empress Dowager Pei enough face and don't interfere in her affairs.

Ever since, over the years, Empress Dowager Pei developed the character of being uncompromising when Emperor Chengzong Wende was away.

He had long forgotten what it was like to compromise and seek perfection, and he also left the tricks of conspiracy in the chamber pot.

One force down ten will!

When she was in the palace, she was the princess. She is the biggest among all the women, if she is dissatisfied, just slap her in the face, there is no need to play tricks.

In the palace, she is the queen, and she is also the biggest. Emperor Chengzong Wende would not interfere with any concubine who disliked her.

Became the empress dowager, that's even more terrible, she is the biggest woman in the world. The emperor is her son, and nothing can restrain her.

As a result, I miscalculated!

Liu Zhao, the rogue emperor, is much more aggressive than his father. If you don't agree with each other, let's do it!

infamy?

Feel free to scold!

He doesn't care at all.

As soon as Liu Zhao came to the throne, he banned the queen mother for the sake of the queen, where do you think he got the confidence? Lu Hou asked with a smile.

Pei Meng frowned and said, Queen?

Lu Hou nodded heavily, Obviously, the empress and the empress are the ones who dominate everything. I would rather offend Liu Zhao, that rascal, than empress Gu.

Pei Meng frowned, Does father think too much of the empress?

Marquis Lu took a sip of his tea, Is it heavy? We did business with Xiliang in those years, and you didn't see anything? Obviously, the empress had predicted everything and started planning for war more than ten years ago. For one thing, he even sent the hopeless bald donkey over early.

When the seemingly messy things are connected step by step, you will find that everything is in her plan. Ben Hou said without exaggeration that even this war involved her schemes.

Speaking of this, Marquis Lu sneered coldly, I'm afraid Wuwang's credit is indispensable for Xiliang's sudden dispatch of troops. I heard that there was a mutiny in Xiliang, and the prince supported by Wuwang won. This Marquis must admire the skill of that bald donkey Wuwang.

Nian Benhou underestimated him, but the Empress did not underestimate him, on the contrary, she put him in the most appropriate place and did what she was best at. How many people in the world can compare with her ability to know people well, dare to think and do things well? If that hooligan Liu Zhao had the ability, Ben Hou would twist his head off and kick it like a ball. Now, do you still think that the Marquis values ​​the empress too much?

Pei Meng took a breath, Could it be that Da Zhou is going to produce a female emperor? Then we can justify...

Stop dreaming! Lu Hou interrupted Pei Meng's delusion.

Looking at how much the empress attaches importance to and training His Highness the First Prince, it is obvious that the Crown Prince is none other than the First Prince. Moreover, the most wonderful thing about Queen Gu is that she has all the conditions and resources to become emperor, but she is not greedy and does not rush to kill everyone. She leaves a line for everything. She leaves a line for others, and she also leaves a line for herself. She has the influence and popularity of today, not the emperor is better than the emperor, but she can also leave a good name. It is much better than directly calling the emperor.

There are such people in the world who have the conditions to claim the title of emperor but don't? Pei Meng didn't understand.

Lu Hou laughed, Look at what she has done these years. What she wants is not that position, but to change the world! What she wants is a big change. Any change will be subject to fierce counterattacks. Whoever is the emperor will be Bear the pressure. It is much better for Liu Zhao to be emperor than for her to be emperor herself. The pressure belongs to Liu Zhao, she just needs to hide behind the scenes and carry out her plan step by step to support the eldest prince. This is the smart way.

Liu Zhao is willing?

Why not reconciled? Opening up the eternal prosperity, once he succeeds, he will be a famous emperor through the ages. Let me ask, who can refuse?

A famous gentleman through the ages!

Pei Meng's heart was agitated.

Immediately afterwards he asked: If Liu Zhao becomes a famous emperor through the ages, isn't our Northwest Army destined to become his stepping stone? Father, what should we do?

Lu Hou took out a letter from the secret compartment, This is a letter from the Empress to Ben Hou.

The Empress actually sent a letter to my father?

Lu Hou smiled, the white envelope placed on the table, like a hot potato, made him dare not touch it easily.

He said to Pei Meng: On behalf of Benhou, you will go to the capital and escort Gu Ting Xiaoman back to the capital.

what?
