The Empress Dowager was waiting for the Prince of Huainan, Liu Qian, in the East Palace. A few days ago, Liu Qian said that his father had written a book about the study of Huang Lao and wanted to present it to the Empress Dowager for review.

Now the whole court is full of undercurrents, supporters of Confucianism have collapsed, and ministers who practice Huang Lao's inaction begin to gather. At this time, what the Empress Dowager most wants to hear is someone saying that Huang Lao's learning is good.

Liu Qian was suppressed for a while because of his personal relationship with Dong Yan, and Ji An from the Ting Wei Department was a selfless person, and he beat him wherever he pointed, and he was not soft at all.

Liu Qian had no choice but to save Dong Yan out of love for beauty. Dong Yan asked him to go to Princess Guantao's mansion to intercede. Liu Qian did go, but was ridiculed by Dou Taizhu .

Dou Taizhu heard what Ying Zheng said, and he began to have doubts in his heart. He felt that Dong Yan was not a good person, so he ordered people to ask around a lot, and he was half dead when he heard it. This Dong Yan's coaxing skills are not bad. There are more than ten guests.

Taizhu Dou knew that Liu Qian was one of them, so he taunted him immediately and asked his servants to drive him out.

Liu Qian turned his nose up, and then realized that Dong Yan could not be saved, so he simply cleared the relationship, and someone from the Tingwei Office asked, and he only said that he and Dong Yan were nodding acquaintances.

Although King Huainan is not in Chang'an, Chang'an has a lot of eyes and ears. First, he heard that his son was brave and foolhardy, so he sent people to assassinate the Empress Dowager, and pretended that he was very smart. This method is too stupid and straightforward, anyone with a little brain can see it, not to mention that the people in the palace are more than just human beings.

Huainan Wang just wanted to send someone to reprimand Liu Qian, and he heard that the emperor ordered the Ting Wei Department to capture Dou Taizhu's new lover Dong Yan, and Liu Qian was also implicated.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly arranged for someone to go to Beijing with his book Hong Lie.

The visitor told Liu Qian about King Huainan's attitude. Although Liu Qian was a reckless man, he also knew the seriousness of this time. The visitor also said that this time it is very likely that His Majesty is shaking the mountain and trying to warn them.

Liu Qian didn't know what to do at the moment, so someone presented Hong Lie, written by the King of Huainan, and asked Liu Qian to enter the palace to give it to the Empress Dowager, and told the Empress Dowager that this was Huang Lao's study. Please give the name to the Empress Dowager, and point out the shortcomings to correct.

Liu Qian also understands his father's thoughts. Now he offended the emperor. Although the emperor is young, his heart suddenly looks like a bright mirror, which makes people frightened. They don't know that Liu Che's experience is still less, and his heart is like a mirror. It is Ying Zheng who is right.

Liu Qian had no choice but to take the book to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, after all, today's emperor values ​​filial piety, and the Empress Dowager holds military power in her hands.

The Empress Dowager couldn't wait to come, so she called the maid and said, "The person who went to meet the Prince of Huainan, has he gone?"

The maid replied: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, let's go."

While they were talking, the servant had already come over, hurriedly knelt down, and said, "The empress dowager...it's not good!"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she frowned and said: "It's really bad luck, can you hope that my old lady will order!"

The servant hurriedly kowtowed, and said, "Damn the slave! It's not that the Empress Dowager is bad, it's that the Prince Huainan is bad!"

The Empress Dowager said: "Sick? Can't come?"

The servant replied, "It's not that he's sick, he's already in the palace, but... just stopped by the emperor, and he's questioning him."

"Liu Qian offended the emperor?"

The waiter said: "Yes... the servant listened to it, and it was indeed a crime. The bamboo slips also fell to the ground and shattered."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said: "It's all a family, please don't worry about it too much, invite them all to the East Palace, and I will judge them. It's no big deal for children to fight."

"This……"

The servant was a little hesitant, and said again: "Empress Dowager, I seem to have heard that the prince of Huainan was stopped by the emperor for interrogation because he molested the empress."

"what!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still at this time, she stood up immediately, and the maid hurried over to support her, for fear that the Empress Dowager would fall down.

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, "Really?"

"How dare a slave lie."

The empress dowager stood for a while, seemed to be thinking about it, then slowly sat down, and said: "Forget it, I don't care about this matter, Liu Qian deserves it, disrespectful, let the emperor punish him."

Liu Qian was deliberately made things difficult by Liu Che, and he complained endlessly in his heart. He obviously felt that he had been tricked by Ying Zheng, and the women in the palace were not aggressive. Only then did he understand.

Liu Qian didn't know that he was fighting not just a simple woman.

Seeing that Liu Che was about to lose his temper, Ying Zheng said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Prince of Huainan is going to the East Palace. Don't waste the time. Besides...the Prince of Huainan is also talking for fun, so forget it."

Although Liu Che didn't understand why he suddenly asked him to stop, but when he thought that Sister Gillian was usually resourceful and thoughtful, he didn't think about it, so he sneered and said, "Go away."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The prince of Huainan has taken the bamboo slips, don't miss them."

These days, Liu Qian was first taunted by Dou Taizhu, then severely scolded by Liu Che, and now he was taunted by Ying Zheng again, his teeth were itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare not to listen, so he quickly answered, bowed his head and dismissed him. Picking up the fallen bamboo slips one by one, although there were palace officials nearby, none of them dared to help.

Liu Che waited for Liu Qian to walk away disheveledly with the bamboo slips in his arms, and said, "Why don't you let me beat him with a stick."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know what book he is holding in his arms."

Liu Che said: "What book do I care about him?"

Ying Zheng said: "I heard that there are countless retainers in the Huainan Palace, all of whom are sages and knights. They put a lot of effort into writing a book called Hong Lie, which talks about... Huang Lao's learning."

It was enough for Liu Che to just hear the four words "Huang Lao Zhi Xue", and these four words were precisely the key points. Liu Che frowned and said, "Liu Qian wants to dedicate the book to the Empress Dowager? It's a good plan. I really underestimated it." He is the king of Huainan."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The current situation is not good for His Majesty, and the King of Huainan wants to please him. You said that Liu Qian went to see the Empress Dowager with the scattered books of Huang Lao, what good can he get?"

Liu Che laughed as soon as he heard it, and suddenly felt a lot better. He bent his fingers slightly and scratched the bridge of Ying Zheng's nose. The unusually intimate gesture made Ying Zheng feel good, and suddenly froze again.

Liu Che is willing to listen to him. This is Yingzheng's move. It is very important to make a good move. But at the same time, he doesn't like Liu Che's overly intimate gestures. Yingzheng himself is a person who rejects others. He is a generation of emperors, the first emperor , has been aloof for half his life, and can't even accept being equal, not to mention Liu Che is always on top of him.

Liu Che didn't go back to the palace for several days, Wei Zifu never saw the emperor, he only heard that his younger brother had done a great job in rescuing him in the East Palace, but so far he hasn't received any rewards.

Wei Zifu was a little anxious, she had been in the palace for a long time, so far she has not been blessed by His Majesty, and she could not bear to think that her younger brother got an official position, but his younger brother was too honest and lacked some scheming, so he couldn't go smoothly climb up.

Did Wei Zifu know that although Wei Qing was a guard in the palace, he was also bullied. He was born as a cavalry slave of Princess Pingyang. Many people dislike him.

Wei Qing has extraordinary martial arts skills, loves strong horses, is honest, outspoken, and not very good at talking. These days, he often offends people, and is often suppressed and bullied by others, so he has become more and more silent and cautious.

So in front of Liu Che, he didn't dare to say a word. The so-called accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. He should be more humble and cautious, so how could he ask for any credit.

Liu Che asked Wei Qing to investigate the assassin's matter. After Ying Zheng said this, Liu Che had given up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate, but he had completely forgotten Wei Qing in his mind, so he forgot to tell him not to investigate any more.

After a few days of investigation, Wei Qing came here to report to Liu Che.

Wei Zifu saw Wei Qing from afar, and was a little surprised, so he hurried forward and said, "Why did you come here?"

Wei Qing was also surprised to see her, and said, "I'm here to talk to His Majesty, why is my sister here?"

Wei Zifu sighed and said, "I have been serving Your Majesty here."

Wei Qing nodded and said: "Ever since my sister came out of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the Eldest Princess has always missed her. Now that my sister is well, I feel relieved."

Wei Zifu still sighed, but it was not easy to tell him that Princess Yangxin was not thinking about herself, but was thinking why Wei Zifu was not favored by the emperor, and she had made a fortune. It's Tengda.

It's just that the eldest princess made a wrong calculation, and Wei Zifu has indeed worked hard, but the emperor sees thousands of beauties, so what is he? What is more is the emperor's fickleness and unfeelingness.

She was almost cold-hearted, and now that Wei Qing was in such a mess, she should have relaxed, but Wei Zifu still couldn't be reconciled.

While the two of them were talking, they saw a noble lady approaching from a distance surrounded by maids of honor. Wei Zifu had served Ying Zheng before, so he had seen this person before. It was the mother of the current empress, Princess Guantao. .

Dou Taizhu has also heard about Wei Zifu for a long time.

Liu Che thought that he had a relationship with Wei Zifu, but in order not to make sister Gillian angry, he deliberately ordered everyone not to mention it, but although there were high walls in the palace, there was no leaking information.

Taizhu Dou placed a lot of eyeliner in the palace, just to know how the emperor treats his daughter, if there is any trouble in the court, Taizhu Dou will be the first to know.

Someone told Taizhu Dou that the emperor had the honor of a court lady. This maid was originally from Jiaofang Palace, but she was sent to His Majesty to serve her. As a result, she shamelessly took advantage of the emperor's drunkenness to climb onto the emperor's dragon couch.

Fortunately, the emperor did not write the maid's name in Ye Ting's book, so far, she is still a court lady, and there is no record of pregnancy.

Dou Taizhu knows that the emperor is passionate, and it has been like this since ancient times. He can't control where the emperor lives at night, but for a court lady, she can still control it.

After inquiring that His Majesty had gone out early today, Taizhu Dou immediately went over to ring the alarm bell for this maid. The person who came out of the Jiaofang Palace actually wanted to climb on the head of the master.

Dou Taizhu saw Wei Zifu talking to a guard from a distance. She didn't know that Wei Qing was Wei Zifu's younger brother. As she walked past, she sneered and said, "Hey, the emperor is not here, some people think of themselves more and more. What is it like to be flirting with a man?"

Seeing Mrs. Dou coming, Wei Zifu immediately knelt down to pay his respects. Wei Qing also knelt down to pay his respects when his sister said that Mrs. Dou was well.

But Mrs. Dou didn't hesitate to do this, and didn't let the two of them get up, and insulted Wei Zifu a few times, although Wei Zifu has seen some people in the world, she came from a humble background, and it is common for others to scold her a few words Yes, it's just that Wei Zifu has had many troubles recently, and he is inevitably wronged in his heart.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Mrs. Dou grabbed her by the hair and asked her to raise her head. Wei Zifu suffered from pain and was forced to raise his head. At this time, he accidentally saw coming from a distance. This kind of posture is only available to the emperor.

Seeing her sister being bullied like this, Wei Qing couldn't bear it any longer. She just wanted to react, but was stopped by Wei Zifu. Mrs. Dou saw that Wei Zifu endured the pain and stopped the guard, so proud of herself, no matter how beautiful she was. , Don't you still have to kneel in front of yourself obediently?

She didn't know what Wei Zifu was planning.

Wei Zifu's eyes were red, tears burst out of his eyes suddenly, he was crying, "Taizhu, please forgive me", he looked very pitiful.

Dou Taizhu thought that Wei Zifu was subdued, so he let go of her hair, threw her away, and even kicked her.

Wei Zifu was curled up on the ground, crying, his hair was a little disheveled, and his face as big as a palm was even more pitiful.

Liu Che got out of the car in front of the palace and saw this scene. Ying Zheng also got out of the car. Naturally, he also saw the scene of Mrs. Dou bullying others and Wei Zifu pitiful.

Ying Zheng felt a little displeased at once. Although Taizhu Dou loves Chen Ajiao very much, but relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager, he is too biased and conceited in doing things. This will cause trouble sooner or later, especially though Taizhu Dou likes to play tricks, but he is not careful after all. , was tricked by Wei Zifu and still doesn't know.

Liu Che asked his servant to support Ying Zheng, and stepped forward with his hands behind his back, saying, "Who is the grand lord with?"

Dou Taizhu didn't expect Liu Che to come back so soon, he was a little flustered for a while, but he felt confident, so he put his heart back into his stomach, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, I'm here to help you, in broad daylight, a court lady What's wrong with flirting with the guards? It's bad manners, isn't it?"

Only then did Liu Che pay attention to Wei Qing who was supporting Wei Zifu, seeing that he looked familiar, after thinking for a while, he nodded at Wei Qing, and said, "It's you, what's your name... Wei..."

Wei Qing quickly knelt down in response, "Humble General Wei Qing."

When Dou Taizhu heard it, his heart suddenly jumped, and his surname was Wei, so it turned out that he was related...

Looking at her expression, Liu Che knew that Taizhu Dou understood and didn't say much. After all, Sister Gillian was also here, so she still wanted to give Taizhu Dou some face.

Only then did Ying Zheng come forward and said, "Since mother is coming over, she should give her support first, so that someone can meet her."
