General, you are being naughty

When the heavy snow falls, the last day of the year-end, the end of the year.

It was night, the Empress Dowager, who had lived in the harem for several months, finally showed up and held a family banquet in the Fragrance Garden of the Holy Palace. The courtiers and dignitaries gathered together, and the scene was extremely lively.

"Why didn't the general come?" The queen mother suddenly asked, she looked up and saw Jianjin.

Fang Heng also felt strange, and responded in a low voice: "I went to the General's Mansion to summon you this morning, and this hour should have arrived."

The queen mother nodded, and said in a low voice: "The general's leg injury is getting better? It's been half a month, and I haven't seen her enter the palace to find mourners, this heartless person."

"It's strange to say that I haven't seen the general." Fang Heng frowned, and said suspiciously: "Since the general was assassinated on the street that day, he has never been out of the house since then."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened: "Are you sure she's still in the mansion?"

"After the general's accident, the people sent by the minister guarded around the general's mansion day and night. There were no suspicious people coming in and out, and I didn't see the general coming out." Fang Heng hesitated for a while, and lowered his voice, "Could it be that the queen mother thinks... .?"

"It's best to rest in peace and rest in the mansion." The queen mother felt a dull pain in her heart. She rubbed the center of her brows, looked at the laughing and laughing officials, and said in a deep tone, "I'm afraid I won't come tonight. You can go there in person tomorrow." The General's Mansion, if she is in the mansion, with her temperament, why should she hide it?"

Fang Heng raised his head and glanced at Dongfang Ting who was sitting in the hall, but he saw the young sage with a radiant face, exchanging cups with the ministers, full of joy.He observed silently for a while, straightened his upper body slightly, picked up the teapot and poured tea into the empress dowager's jade cup, and said: "Empress dowager, will the general avoid it on purpose?"

"Aijia..." The Empress Dowager looked at Dongfang Ting and murmured, "I don't know."

These days, since Dongfang Ting came to power, he went to court every morning and never set a day. It seemed that he wanted to make up for the previous supplies, but the courtiers of the Dezheng Palace suffered a lot. Originally, there was a ceremony every three days, and a court meeting every ten days. The daily rituals, the five-day court meeting, the reputation of Dongfang Ting's diligent administration spread, but the officials were full of resentment.

There are three fires for a new official to take office, let alone a saint!

And because the Empress Dowager did not go to court early in three months, all the officials speculated whether the Empress Dowager would really no longer interfere in the government.

In the current situation, the queen mother is fine, she is the queen mother of the little saint, and she dare not make a mistake.But the general is different, Dongfang Ting has a thorn in his flesh, and he can't wait to reward the general with a glass of poisoned wine and a few feet of white silk, and hurry to serve the old saint.

What Dongfang Ting was afraid of was that the queen mother was still protecting the general, and he was also waiting for the opportunity.

The relationship between the nephew and uncle was in turmoil, and the queen mother held a banquet but did not see the general participating. Everyone present could more or less guess a little bit. No one mentioned the general in the laughter, for fear of spoiling Dongfang Ting. Yaxing.

Dongfang Ting put down his airs and personally toasted to his ministers. Seeing the humble and flattered faces of the ministers, cups of ganjiu poured into his throat, but it burned him very happily. This is the supreme dignity that an emperor should have.

"Today, I have something important to announce to everyone." Dongfang Ting said so, and the bustling scene fell silent for a moment. Holding a cup, he stood under the Queen Mother's banquet hall, and respectfully said, "Queen Mother, I have something to tell you. beg."

The courtiers all looked at each other in blank dismay, only the right minister Su Yue showed a smug smile indiscriminately.Fang Heng unconsciously clenched his hands on the case table. He looked at the calm Queen Mother, but heard her say in a calm tone, "What is Ting'er asking for?"

Dongfang Ting stood up straight, and said with a smile: "My boy is looking for a woman, and my boy wants to marry Su Qing, the daughter of the Su family."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager slightly raised her phoenix eyebrows, and set her eyes on Su Yue, "Does Prime Minister have this intention?"

Asked like this, Su Yue had no choice but to attend, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Queen Mother, it is really a blessing from several generations of my Su family to be able to enter the eyes of the Holy One."

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, then Xiang Ye walked out with a cold face, cupped his hands and said: "Empress Dowager, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

As soon as this remark came out, Su Yue immediately retorted: "What's wrong? The Prime Minister's words are inappropriate! Sheng is fourteen years old, and this ordinary man has already married and had children, not to mention that the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the Prime Minister said, Why is it inappropriate?"

Bai Hua sneered, and retorted: "The Holy Majesty has just been in power not long ago, and he is not very familiar with government affairs, so he must not have the energy to love his children!" At this point, the Prime Minister paused, and said leisurely: "Don't you forget the right minister?" Is it? The Holy Majesty is not yet of age, and he is not allowed to be a queen, this is the legacy of Gaozu, if the Holy Majesty accepts a concubine, it must be okay."

Repay the other body in the way of others, the words of the prime minister were said by the right prime minister himself not long ago, he made up his mind, didn't he just want to support his daughter to the position of queen?Because of being deliberately excluded by Su Yue in the court, Bai Hua felt aggrieved in her heart, and this time she was purely trying to play tricks on Su Yue to vent his anger.

"Old man, otherwise, what do you think?" Su Yue looked at him angrily, "Should the Holy Majesty marry a wife, or you, an old man?"

Bai Hua snorted softly and said, "This old man is telling the truth, is it wrong?"

Su Yue stared at Bai Hua, but was interrupted by the Prime Minister, Dongfang Ting was also a little confused, he hurriedly pulled the Prime Minister on the right, and said: "Don't be angry, Prime Minister Right, what the Prime Minister said is indeed correct."

Of course he knew it was right!

"Enough!" The queen mother scolded, "Today is the holy feast, but the left and right ministers are arguing endlessly, what's the matter?"

Fang Heng squinted his eyes and looked at this scene mockingly. If the general was there, it would be more lively, right?The Empress Dowager's complexion was very ugly, Dongfang Ting respectfully said: "Mother, it's all the child's fault."

"Ting'er really wants to marry Su Qing?"

Dongfang Ting replied: "I also ask my mother to complete it."

The queen mother said slowly: "Why not, you are not young, but what Xiangye said just now is very true, you are underage, you are not allowed to be a queen, if you really like that Su Qing, you can marry her and become a saint Palace, as for the position of Concubine He, the Holy Majesty can decide, there is no need to ask the Ai family for an order."

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression seemed to be quite happy, Fang Heng guessed that it was probably because his son was going to marry a wife, so he was still happy no matter what.

"Thank you mother!"

Suddenly remembered another matter, Dongfang Ting said again in front of the courtiers: "Mother, my son would like to ask for another favor."

The Empress Dowager said kindly, "Let's hear it, what kind of decree do you want to ask for?"

"Empress, if the child marries Su Qing, then her eldest brother Su Hong is the eldest brother-in-law of the child. He has been confined in the mansion for half a year. Can the empress lift the restraint on Su Hong by relying on the child's face? ?”

As soon as Dongfang Ting said this, Su Yue's eyes lit up, and he begged immediately: "Queen Mother, that unworthy minister is really a brave genius who committed such a crime. He reflects on his crimes every day and has changed his mind to be a new man. Please forgive me. Him!"

"slow!"

It was still Lord Xiang who suddenly spoke out. He pulled the beard on his chin, met Su Yue's gaze like a poisonous snake, and said calmly: "According to what I see, the ban should be lifted by the general himself."

The banquet was silent for a moment, no one dared to make a sound at this moment, everyone was silent like a cicada.

The empress dowager looked very calm, Dongfang Ting, who was demolished and unable to get off the ground, looked a little ugly, and the old face of the right minister was almost twisted into a ball.

Will the general lift the ban?In the next life.

There was a smile on the Queen Mother's lips, she pretended to be embarrassed, and chanted: "What Xiangye said makes sense, I wonder what you think about it?"

Fang Heng got up, walked to the side of the Prime Minister, bowed respectfully, and said: "What the Prime Minister said is very true, the minister seconded." .”

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Dongfang Ting glared at the ministers who seconded the proposal, his cold eyes flashed across their faces one by one.

Master Xiang pulled his beard and laughed, "The right minister should go to the general's mansion to find the general in person, so that the ban can be lifted."

As soon as the words fell, there was low laughter from the banquet. No one thought that the general would be so stupid as to lift Su Hong's foot restraint order. Seeing that Su Yue was repeatedly deflated by the Prime Minister, all the courtiers who looked at the Queen Mother were all proud .
