[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House

During the banquet, all the princes and kings were talking, with decent smiles on their faces, and courteous to each other.

The Queen Mother found an opportunity to walk over to Tian Fu, immediately covered her mouth and nose, frowned and said, "Where did you go, you smelled of alcohol all over your body."

Tian Fu smiled and said, "I just went to Huainan King's to drink two glasses of wine, and I didn't miss a big deal."

When the Queen Mother heard him talking about the Huainan King, she was still thinking about the marriage with the Huainan King. Unfortunately, the Dowager Dou insisted on making an extra effort out of it. To be ridiculed by Dou Taizhu, besides, she dare not.

Hearing the word "Huainan King" now, he naturally felt uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "When we're gone, come over here, I have something to say."

Tian Fu felt guilty, and he thumped in his heart, afraid that the Queen Mother would know what he said to the King of Huainan. Even if the Queen Mother didn't like the Dou family, she would still protect her son. Only Liu Che was the emperor, and she was the Queen Mother. If Liu Che wasn't the emperor, she wasn't the queen mother either.

But Tian Fu is different. To put it bluntly, he is an uncle, an elder, but to put it bluntly, he is a back door, a relative. Especially now that Liu Che doesn't use himself, Tian Fu has to plan for himself, but this plan is not the same as his own. His sister, the Queen Mother, must be in conflict, so Tian Fu decided not to let the Queen Mother know about it.

The Queen Mother suddenly wanted to see him, Tian Fu was naturally guilty, but after thinking about it, there were only three people present at the time, himself, Huainan King Liu An, and Huainan King Princess Liu Ling, and the three were also on the same boat, so it was impossible to disclose it to anyone, so Tian Fu immediately put his heart back into his stomach and said with a smile, "No."

The Queen Mother had something on her mind, so she talked to him, but she was afraid that people would gossip, so she turned her head and went back to her seat.

The Empress Dowager was sitting next to her, and the Empress Dowager naturally had to talk to the Empress Dowager, chatting, and picking up a few words of flattery that she liked to hear.

The Queen Mother looked up and saw Liu Che holding chopsticks and feeding Yingzheng himself. It seemed very affectionate, and the Queen Mother was anxious. Since ancient times, emperors have been affectionate. What to give, but the Queen Mother knows best that emperors are also fickle and unfeeling. Even when they love a woman, they are only obedient on the surface, and they will never be wholehearted in their hearts.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, she doesn't know whether her son is pretending to be too deep or too shallow in the world. No matter what she hears from others or what the Queen Mother herself thinks, she thinks that Liu Che is too kind to Queen Chen. He can almost share the world with his Dou family.

The Empress Dowager's eyes are too direct, Ying Zheng has such a keen observation ability, she tilted her head slightly, the Empress Dowager quickly glanced over, pretending to be casual, and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, Gillian's birthday It's almost here, and taking advantage of the feudal lords' winter in October, I thought, it's not too late to get a birthday Yan, and the vassals and kings can return to the fief after congratulating Gillian."

The Empress Dowager suddenly heard her say this, and said with a smile: "I'm so old and confused, I almost forgot to go, you just remember, let's do it like this, everyone finally got together, it's so lively, it's a good thing."

The Queen Mother knew that this move of hers was just to please the Empress Dowager, so she put on a smile and said, "Okay, I will definitely handle it properly."

The Empress Dowager suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "A-Jiao is weak, don't make too much noise."

"Yes, you can rest assured, Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager said: "The old man's health has been getting worse and worse recently. When I can still have fun, it's so lively."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager is so strong, even better than mine."

At the banquet, Tian Fu stopped drinking because of what the Queen Mother said, for fear that he would drink too much and talk to the Queen Mother, and then confide in it.

After the banquet was over, Tian Fu waited for a while, and then went to the Queen Mother, who was already waiting for him.

When the Queen Mother saw him coming in, she waved her hand and dismissed the maid, her face was a little unhappy, and she said calmly, "My good brother, what did you tell me before? What happened?"

Tian Fu listened to her tone of pleading guilty, his heart beat suddenly, his legs almost went weak, he hurriedly touched the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Sister... what are you talking about?"

The queen mother patted the table and said: "What else can it be? The matter of medicine! Didn't you tell me that you promised me, and the result is that the queen of the Dou family still lives in the Jiaofang Hall , the baby in the womb is fine, but the pig loves him even more!"

Tian Fu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said, "My dear sister, you have made it clear once you speak..."

He calmed down his frightened mood, and said: "Isn't this...there are many opportunities, and it doesn't matter if you fail once."

The Queen Mother said with a sullen face, "Tell me, how many times has it been? Last time at Zhongnan Mountain, this is the second time. Don't delay any longer. If you delay any longer, he will give birth to the child. By then If it's a son, it's over! His Dou family is now under one person and over ten thousand people, won't they be turned upside down by then?"

Tian Fu said: "Yes, yes, I know this, we have to take it step by step, it's too obvious, shouldn't we put the shit bowl on our head?"

The Queen Mother said: "I don't care if you keep the shit pot or not, anyway, if Chen Ajiao gives birth to this child, let alone a prime minister or a Taiwei, you still want to be Marquis of Wu'an? You can decide for yourself."

Tian Fu said: "Sister, don't be angry, I have already arranged Li Yannian to be with the emperor, this is our person, with the emperor, we will be the first to know about anything."

The queen mother raised her hand, not to let Tian Fu continue, and said: "I don't want to care about the process anymore, I just want the result, I just want to show the Dou family a good look, let them know who is the emperor's mother, who It's the Queen Mother!"

Tian Fu hurriedly picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Sister, you have endured for so many years, do you still care about a few more years? Look, the Empress Dowager has given the tiger talisman to Xi'er , has no military power, and her body is obviously not as good as before, how long can she last? One thing more is worse than one thing less, so let’s spend it with her slowly."

The Queen Mother naturally knew this truth, took several deep breaths, and Tian Fu persuaded her for a while before coming out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw a carriage, but it was not from his own house. When Tian Fu approached, the curtain on the horse was lifted suddenly, and Liu Ling poked his head out from inside.

Tian Fu took a look and was stunned for a moment, not because he didn't know Liu Ling, but because of Liu Ling's attire in front of him.

Liu Ling was dressed as a man, looked at him with a smile, and said, "What? Master Tian doesn't recognize me? Or, Marquis Wu An likes to stand?"

Tian Fu laughed immediately, got into the carriage, sat beside her, wiped Liu Ling's chin, and said, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Liu Ling blushed, pretending to be annoyed, "Don't Marquis Wu An like me like this?"

Tian Fu held her in his arms and couldn't wait to tear her clothes. Liu Ling obediently let him come, but suddenly started crying. Tian Fu naturally wanted to ask her what was wrong, and Liu Ling sobbed, "I just thought of it." The previous experience in the palace... Marquis Wu'an, do you know that the empress did not like me for some reason, and proposed to send me to the Huns to get married. It's not that I don't want to go, but if I can do something for the big man, I am naturally willing, It's just...then we won't be able to see Marquis Wu An."

These few words were right in Tian Fu's heart, and now he put his arms around Liu Ling and kissed him, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to cry about, I'll have a word with the emperor tomorrow, I'm his uncle, you go If the Huns are gone, just stay with me at ease!"

Although everyone was talking and laughing at the banquet, it was a peaceful scene, but the morning of the next day was not so leisurely.

Liu Che sat on the dragon seat and asked Li Yannian to read the letter sent by the special envoy of the Huns to the ministers and princes and kings.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay when they heard this. Those who could come to court were naturally not idle people. No one could tell that it was the new Xiongnu who had just come to power and came to test Liu Che.

Liu Che waited for Li Yannian to finish reading the letter, glanced at everyone one by one, and said with a smile: "What do you all mean? I want to hear it today. Which one of you will speak first? Zhuang Qingzhai, you are an old minister and the emperor." The queen mother’s confidant, for example, you come and talk first.”

Zhuang Qingzhai was called out, his legs felt weak at the moment, he quickly stood up from his kneeling seat, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted and replied: "Return to the emperor, I think...the request made by the Huns did not violate any agreement. , the princess should be selected and sent to the Xiongnu for marriage."

Liu Che sneered and did not make any comments. He scanned the crowd again and said, "What does King Huainan mean? According to Huang Lao's theory?"

King Huainan hesitated for a moment, he had already heard that Liu Che's tone was not good, and he didn't want to be as careless as Zhuang Qingzhai, although Liu An has never been in Chang'an City, but lived far away in the fiefdom, but he heard that Liu Che's tone was not good. Miss Liu Che's deeds.

Liu Che had already lashed out at the Huns for his attitude towards the Huns, but at that time the court was full of Confucian scholars, but now it is different. Confucianism has been suppressed by the Empress Dowager, and it has fallen to the bottom, and there are not so many people to support it. Liu Che respected the achievements of the king and the barbarians.

That's why Zhuang Qingzhai only hesitated for a while, and then spoke out his support for the marriage.

The king of Huainan was cautious and suspicious by nature, so it was impossible to say so carelessly, and after saluting, he said: "The humble minister is old, and the emperor's question is about important matters. The humble minister is really afraid that he will be confused. Your Majesty is wise and can make his own decisions. "

Liu Che sneered again, that's good, Huainan King is an old fox, let him talk about everything, just don't express his opinion.

Liu Che said with a smile: "Okay, I thought the king of Huainan would say that he would rule by doing nothing, and send the princess away. The Xiongnu married the princess of our Han Dynasty, burned, killed, looted, murdered and set fire, and insulted the princess of the Han Dynasty. Princess!"

As he spoke, he slammed the table and table, and for a while, the sound of breathing could be heard in Chengming Hall, and everyone was watching, not daring to say anything.

After Liu Che finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time before saying, "Wei Qihou, what do you mean?"

Dou Ying was called by name, but she just stared ahead. After a long time, she stood up slowly, walked to the middle of the hall, and said, "Huns, no letter. They are a barbaric race. They lived by robbing and killing. No matter how many princesses the Han Dynasty sent to make peace, the war still continued. Why? It was because they didn’t have these things. If they wanted them, they could only rob them. The ambitions of the Huns could not be satisfied. , it will only grow bigger and bigger. Getting married is not a long-term solution."

After Dou Ying finished speaking, Liu Che's face finally softened a little, but a voice said: "Wei Qihou's words are wrong."

The man stood up as he spoke, walked to Dou Ying's side, and saluted Liu Che. The man was Han Anguo whom the Empress Dowager had recruited ministers to study the Huainan King's Book in the East Palace before.

Han Anguo said: "Although the Huns are untrustworthy, the marriage has effectively prevented the Huns from burning and killing on a large scale. If this relationship is torn apart, the Huns will attack aggressively, and it will no longer be a small-scale looting. , don’t you learn from the lesson of the flames of fire that burned Ganquan Palace back then?”

"enough!"

Before Han Anguo finished speaking, Liu Che suddenly became angry, slapped the table again, stood up, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving the princes and ministers in the first hall where they were.

Liu Che was furious, and Han Anguo's attitude was obviously to make love, which was the last thing Liu Che wanted to hear. Liu Che felt that he had already made it obvious, but there were still people who challenged his bottom line at this time.

The Huns have already bullied the sharp-nose, but these ministers who eat salaries only humiliate and ask for peace.

When Liu Che got into the car battle, he felt unhappy. The first thing he thought of was Ying Zheng, and he wanted to go to Jiaofang Palace to sit and hear what Ying Zheng had good ideas for.

Liu Che subconsciously said, "Go to Jiaofang Hall."

The riding slave responded, and just turned the car around to go to Jiaofang Hall, Liu Che suddenly realized that whenever he encountered a problem, especially a government problem, he would think of Ying Zheng.

This is not a good phenomenon. After all, the person who lives in the Jiaofang Palace is from the Dou family. To put it bluntly, if you listen to Ying Zheng too much, it will only encourage the arrogance of your relatives.

Before Liu Che had just ascended the throne, everything was powerless, and Ying Zheng handed him a kit. Liu Che was naturally grateful to him, but it was different now. Liu Che held the tiger talisman, he held the soldiers and horses of the world, if he listened to Ying Zheng again , That is to hand over the Tiger Talisman to Ying Zheng.

As an emperor, it is impossible to listen to others, and it is impossible for Liu Che to listen to Ying Zheng.

Liu Che said, "Wait."

Li Yannian followed the chariot, and when he saw Liu Che raising the curtain, he quickly supported the chariot, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Liu Che paused for a while without speaking. He was thinking about whether to go to Jiaofangdian or not. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "Forget it, we won't go to Jiaofangdian, let's go back."

"promise."

Li Yannian responded, he had always been very careful. Hearing the emperor's tone, he was afraid that he was intentionally alienating Empress Chen. He secretly remembered it, and then said to the riding slave, "Go back to the bedroom."

Liu Che went back to the bedroom, and Wei Zifu changed his clothes. Liu Che never went to the Jiaofang Hall, but he was thinking about Ying Zheng, and felt that he was always upset when he didn't see Ying Zheng.

Wei Zifu heard the emperor's long and short sighs, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why are you sighing? Is it because the servants are not serving well?"

Liu Che shook his head, waved his hand again, and said, "It's not your problem. In the early court today, I almost made those ministers pissed off!"

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, take a sip of water. Your lords must also be thinking of the emperor, but what you say may not be pleasant."

Liu Che laughed and said, "It would be great if they were all as understanding as you. Who knows what kind of evil is in these people's hearts? For the sake of comfort, the people at the border were allowed to be slaughtered by the Huns."

Wei Zifu listened, thought for a while, and then said: "The Huns... I have heard of some servants, and those people are so cruel."

Liu Che had nothing to do, he was just looking for someone to chat with to relieve boredom, otherwise he would always think about Ying Zheng, and always wanted to go to Jiaofangdian for a walk.

So he said to Wei Zifu, "Have you heard of the Huns?"

Wei Zifu smiled and said: "Of course I heard it. It was the servant's younger brother Wei Qing who told the servant. He is always good at wielding knives, guns, riding horses and archery, and his revenge has been great since he was a child. It's a pity that the servant's status is humble. Wei Qing He is also just a cavalry slave, and his life has been muddled, but fortunately Wei Qing is now following the emperor, and the servant is thanking the emperor on Wei Qing's behalf."

Liu Che himself was smiling, but just listening to it, he suddenly thought that it would be great if Ying Zheng would talk to him with a smile in such a soft voice. .

Wei Zifu is so smart, said: "Your Majesty... I am afraid that the Huns are not the only ones who worry about your Majesty? If you say something, you will feel better. The servant is a person who has no knowledge and no face. I can’t even understand, but fortunately I have a pair of ears.”

Seeing her virtuous appearance, Liu Che couldn't help sighing in his heart. It's a good thing to really fill her in the court. After all, he wants to use Wei Qing more. Wei Qing is Wei Zifu's younger brother, and he treats his sister kindly. Do your best to do things for yourself.

Furthermore, which man doesn't want a woman to speak softly to him, especially the emperor, who can bring out his courage.

Liu Che didn't say anything, but changed the subject, and suddenly said, "Zi Fu, you are wronged by following me."

Wei Zifu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly prostrated himself, saying: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? This is the blessing of slaves. Others want to ask for it, but they can't."

Liu Che said: "Before..."

He paused and said, "The thing about asking you to find the imperial doctor by yourself..."

He stopped at this point, but Wei Zifu was startled, Wei Zifu naturally remembered what happened, that time Liu Che was drunk, she supported Liu Che to rest, and pretended it happened the next day The appearance of the relationship, and once had the courage to lie to Liu Che, saying that he was pregnant.

It's just that Liu Che asked her to go to the imperial physician to abort the child by herself. It was because of this that Liu Che felt a little guilty and let Wei Qing work in Jianzhang.

This matter was tacit, Liu Che didn't want Ying Zheng to hear about it, and Wei Zifu's pregnancy was a fake, so naturally he didn't want to bring it up. I was taken aback severely.

Wei Zifu was a little panicked, he tried his best to cover up his panic, his smile was a little dry, and he said: "What's the matter, I don't remember."

Liu Che thought she was considerate, and said, "Zifu, do you want to follow me or not? Follow me all the time."

Wei Zifu was even more shocked, and was very happy. She naturally knew what Liu Che meant, but she just pretended to be stupid and said: "Isn't this servant just following the emperor? The emperor should not drive the servant away. What can the servant do?" It’s not good, it will definitely change, it will change.”

She said, still pretending, and wiped the missing tears from her eyes with her sleeve.

Seeing her crying, Liu Che slowly held her in his arms. Although Wei Zifu was overjoyed, he didn't show it. He tried his best to restrain his excitement. Seeing that his appearance worked, he continued to cry.

Liu Che said: "Don't cry, I didn't say you did something wrong, and I didn't want to drive you away. What I mean is to let you not be a court lady, but..."

Wei Zifu carried it in one breath, couldn't help but hold his breath, and waited for Liu Che to say something next, but before Liu Che said it, Li Yannian came in and said, "Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo and Master Father Yan are asking to see you."

Hearing Li Yannian's words, Liu Che suddenly came to his senses. Although he was holding the tiger talisman now, the Empress Dowager loved the Empress, and the Empress Dowager's words still carried great weight. No one would be convinced by setting up a little maid at this time.

Liu Che is not greedy for Wei Zifu's beauty. It can be said that Wei Zifu's tameness and beauty, in Liu Che's heart, cannot be compared with Ying Zheng's demeanor, and he will not be confused for the sake of beauty and miss it. own big business.

Liu Che pushed Wei Zifu away from his arms, stood up, and said, "Xuanshi."

Li Yannian responded, turned around and left.

Wei Zifu held his breath in his heart, wondering if Li Yannian did it on purpose, he is a smart person, of course it is impossible to continue talking to the emperor at this time, wouldn't it seem that the superior's intentions are too obvious.

There are three reasons why Liu Che treats her better than ordinary court ladies. The first husband is beautiful, the second is from Yingzheng's side. In Liu Che's eyes, he is Yingzheng's person. The third is the most important point, Wei Zifu is considerate, gentle and considerate, and does not dispute his duty.

Wei Zifu knew that Liu Che would only look at him more if he kept his duty and was gentle, so naturally he would not continue the previous topic, but took two steps forward on his knees and said, "Your servant is changing clothes for the emperor."

Liu Che just said "hmm" and didn't speak again.

The master father Yan and Dongfang Shuo came out from the Xuanshi Pavilion after meeting the emperor, the master father Yan dragged Dongfang Shuo and said, "I tell you, you have to listen to me this time, let's go around a long way to meet the nobleman."

Dongfang Shuo didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "Your noble? There are only two nobles in this palace, one is the current emperor, and the other can only be the empress dowager. Where can I meet the empress dowager?"

Master Father Yan said: "Why don't you make progress, of course you don't go to see the Empress Dowager, we people, at first glance, are the emperor's think tanks, but at worst, we are not even big officials, how can we still go to see the Empress Dowager? It's just that this person has some relationship with the Empress Dowager, if you see him, you can see the Empress Dowager."

Dongfang Shuo listened, and there was still a smile on his face at first, but when the master father Yan finished speaking, his face became stiff, and he said, "Are you talking about the one from Jiaofang Palace?"

The father of the master gave a thumbs up gesture and said, "Smart."

Dongfang Shuo said with a sullen face, "The Dou family is a foreign relative, Master Yan, you want to join the Dou family? That's not what you said in the announcement room just now. I still remember that you and Your Majesty showed loyalty. Why did you just step out of the announcement room now? Are you going to join the Dou family?"

The master father smiled, and said: "Brother, why are you so ignorant of flexibility? I am loyal to the emperor, and my heart can be shown, but... if you have no status, your loyalty is worthless. The fart is so powerful, why? Because he has the backing of the Queen Mother. You also understand this simple truth."

Dongfang Shuo sneered, and said, "I understand, but I don't bother to do it."

The master father Yan said: "Do you know why you took the last place in the palace test and only ended up in Jinmen to wait for the edict? It's not that you have a bad literary talent, it's not that you have a bad insight, but you are too stupid and too straight! Listen to my brother, this nobleman, You must see."

Dongfang Shuo was dragged away by the master's father, and he couldn't speak loudly in the palace, because he was afraid that others would hear him chewing his tongue, so he had to drag him away.

The master father figured out when Ying Zheng came out for a stroll, and he specifically said a few words with Ying Zheng to set up a relationship when he found the right opportunity.As he himself said, it's not that he is unfaithful, but that he has no status and no rights, and loyalty is worth nothing.

Yingzheng saw the father-in-law dragging Dongfang Shuo this way from a long distance. Dongfang Shuo seemed very reluctant. Yingzheng had also met him several times, and knew that this man was talented and dared to speak out. As soon as Dong Yan went to the palace, he knew that there were very few such honest talents, and it was Yingzheng who wanted to win over them.

Yingzheng had heard that Zhufu Yan and Dongfang Shuo had a good relationship, and wondered when Zhufu Yan would bring Dongfang Shuo to meet him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Master, what is this all about, all this talk?"

The master's father Yan was startled when he heard Ying Zheng's voice, and Dongfang Shuo was also startled. He hurriedly shook off the master's father, bowed down quickly, and said, "My humble minister, Dongfang Shuo, send my greetings to the empress."

The master's father also knelt down, and Ying Zheng said: "Get up, why should you be so polite, my lords."

Father Yan and Dongfang Shuo just stood up. Dongfang Shuo lowered his head and did not speak, as if he was passively resisting.

The more he is like this, the more Yingzheng appreciates him. Both Dongfang Shuo and Zhufuyan are talents, one is straightforward and the other is smooth. In the end, they just express their ambitions in different ways. See your own shadow.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. Dongfang still recognizes me. The last time Mr. Dongfang carried his halberd to the hall, his aura was very impressive."

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he felt a little ashamed, his face flushed, and he said with a dry smile, "I made your empress laugh..."

Ying Zheng knew that if Dongfang Shuo was not allowed to see his abilities, the other party would think that he was just a concubine who dominated the harem with the favor of the empress dowager.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "My lords, have you just met the Emperor?"

The master father nodded and said: "Going back to the empress, that's right, I must have seen it?"

Ying Zheng said: "Otherwise, I didn't see the two of you went to see the emperor, I just guessed... The Xiongnu sent a special letter urging the marriage. Only one Wei Qihou stood up to oppose the marriage. Such a situation...is not good for the emperor. Since it is such a situation, the two adults must have been unable to sit still. My lord, I chose this time. I must go to see the emperor, understand the reason, and explain the necessity of taking the initiative to fight back against the Xiongnu? Am I right? The loyalty of the two lords can be learned from, and it is indeed a blessing for the whole country. respectable."

The master's father Yan had seen Ying Zheng a long time ago. When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he obviously didn't expect that a mere woman in the harem would have such insight and insights.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo in a daze, Yingzheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Dongfang, you know, there is a reason for getting married."

Dongfang Shuo was a little surprised just now, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly changed his expression, and said with a sneer, "I really don't know, my empress, please enlighten me."

Master Yan listened to his tone, and was anxious for fear of offending Ying Zheng. Just as he was about to say a few words for Dongfang Shuo, Ying Zheng raised his hand, still smiling.

Said: "Mr. Dongfang is quick to speak, very frank. It's just... the marriage marriage I said is different from the marriage marriage that people in the court who only want to be comfortable talk about. The marriage marriage is not a long-term plan, but if you sever the marriage rashly now, It will definitely cause the Huns to bear hatred. The Huns spent the winter and ate grass and grew fat, just in time for a large-scale invasion. If they want to fight the Huns, they must only do so in this winter. The soldiers and horses were not ready to fight. If you want to fight back against the Huns, you have to hit them head-on. Only when it hurts will the barbarians know how to be afraid. If you don’t have this kind of strength, you have to go dormant and prepare. Temporary marriage can cover the eyes and ears of the Huns. It must be done this way.”

Dongfang Shuo had to nod when he heard this, and his heart was tumbling. Although many of the principles Ying Zheng said sound simple, not everyone can comprehend them. If anyone could comprehend them, the Huns would not go to Ganquan Palace , occupied the Heshuo Grassland. Heshuo is located directly above Chang'an City, and it is a battleground for military strategists. Want to plunge into the heart of the Han Dynasty.

Ying Zheng saw that although Dongfang Shuo did not speak, his attitude had softened obviously, and he smiled and said, "Actually, in the final analysis, I am just a woman, and I don't understand any major national affairs... But as a member of the Han Dynasty, I also care about the country's comfort. , if there is anything to do in the future, I still need to consult Mr. Dongfang and Mr. Father."

The father of the master bowed hurriedly and said: "What the empress said is too serious."

Ying Zheng understands what is called step by step, and it is impossible to bow to anyone and try his best, not to mention that he is just a woman in the eyes of others. Although this woman has a high status, she is still a woman. If it is too eye-catching, it will arouse Liu Che's further vigilance.

Ying Zheng said: "Okay, I still have to go to the East Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. The two adults must have important things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

Dongfang Shuo and Zhufuyan knelt down to send Ying Zheng away, and then stood up. Dongfang Shuo kept shaking his head, and Zhufuyan said with a smile, "How is it?"

Dongfang Shuo said: "It's amazing...it's amazing...do you know what I was thinking when the empress said those few words just now?"

The master father smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Dongfang Shuo's face was very serious, he stared at Master Yan and said, "I was just thinking...fortunately, Empress Empress is a woman, otherwise, this world...will change hands."

Master Yan's whole body shook when he heard this, he covered Dongfang Shuo's mouth, and lowered his voice, "Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo, you think you've lived a long life! Can you just say such things?"

Ying Zheng got into the car and went to the East Palace.

Since the empress dowager gave the tiger talisman to Liu Che, she began to let go of the government affairs slowly. Although it was impossible to ignore everything at once, the attitude of the empress dowager was obvious. She had gradually retreated and let Liu Che come. Be the real emperor of this great Han dynasty.

After all, the Empress Dowager is a woman and she is old. In her mind, she has no intention of occupying Jiangshan. No matter how powerful her Dou family is, the old lady still feels that Jiangshan's surname is Liu, and she must be Liu Che's.

The old lady assisted three generations of emperors, and she didn't care about political affairs for a while, and she started to feel a little flustered when she was busy. She didn't feel it when she was busy, even when she was angry with Liu Che, but she started to feel old and weak when she was free. It's useless.

The Empress Dowager’s medication was obviously a lot more recently, and the imperial doctor asked her to chat more, so the Empress Dowager, Dou Taizhu, and Ying Zheng, the female family members in the palace went to the East Palace to chat with the old lady in different ways.

Yingzheng entered the main hall, and the Empress Dowager was still sitting on the phoenix seat in the hall as before. She was holding a small golden cage in her hand, and there were screaming insects inside.

The Empress Dowager was blind and couldn't see, so she naturally paid special attention to the sound. If it was too loud, she would panic, and if it was too quiet, she would panic, so she got a lot of bugs with nice sounds, and even a few birds.

The Empress Dowager held the golden cage and listened to it. As soon as Ying Zheng came in, she noticed it and said with a smile, "A-Jiao is here? Come and sit. Your uncle just left. If you come earlier, we will sit down." Let's talk together."

Ying Zheng walked over and sat next to her.

The Empress Dowager held the golden cage and listened to the insects screaming for a while, she was a little bored, she put down the cage with trembling hands, and sighed: "Ah Jiao, tell me, I don't care about court affairs, what should I do?" , I really have nothing to do, let my heart... feel empty."

Yingzheng naturally knows this feeling. Although the Empress Dowager is neither a man nor an emperor, her achievement is not inferior to that of a man. Even though her Huang Lao thought is not consistent with Liu Che's thought of respecting kings and fighting against barbarians, it must be said that the Empress Dowager Many of the Queen Mother's achievements are correct, and she is older and tempered a lot, so she sees many things more thoroughly than Liu Che.

It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong when it comes to major events in the world. Political skills are exclusive. The Empress Dowager thinks she is right, and Liu Che also thinks she is right, but it does not hinder other things.

For such a powerful person, if he is suddenly idle, it is indeed inevitable that he will be empty-handed. Ying Zheng has experienced the feeling of being unable to grasp and touch.

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is just worrying about nothing. What a worry about the court affairs, I leave it to the emperor to deal with it. You, grow flowers, listen to the insects, these days Isn't it pleasant?"

The Empress Dowager nodded, and said: "Is this old man not aware of the comfort of life like this? But it's a bitch..."

As she spoke, she turned to Yingzheng. Although she couldn't see anything, she stared straight at Yingzheng, and said, "I heard...that Wei Qing who defeated the Fujian and Yue army without a single soldier before was you." Recommended by the emperor?"

Yingzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he even opened his eyes wide. He was a little surprised. He didn't know where the old lady heard about it. Then he thought about it. The Empress Dowager said just now that Chen Ajiao's uncle, Dou Ying, had just left, so she might be Dou Ying. Said to the Empress Dowager.

Although Dou Ying was expelled from the family by the Empress Dowager, Dou Ying did not hold grudges against the old lady.

In this palace, the Queen Mother is nothing to be afraid of. Liu Che is still young, and the most terrifying thing is naturally the Empress Dowager. A person who has seen a lot, naturally has deep scheming. Don't look at the Empress Dowager smiling on weekdays. Knowing that she loves Taizhu Dou and Ajiao Chen the most.

However, when the Empress Dowager suddenly said such a thing, it was not just a chatter just thinking about it. Ying Zheng knew that she must have something to say next.

Ying Zheng glanced at the Empress Dowager, trying to see the clue from her expression, and repeated what he said to Dou Ying before, saying: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, it's like this, Wei Qing's elder sister used to serve me, and I heard her mention Wei Qing by chance, saying that she is very good at riding and shooting, just like His Majesty mentioned a few words, but I don't know, His Majesty took it seriously, but Wei Qing did not disgrace her mission, otherwise I would have Guilty to death."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and said: "As you said, leave the court affairs to the emperor. Let's grow flowers, play with birds, don't mess around with it."

"Yes."

Ying Zheng didn't even think about it, and quickly responded. In order to dispel the old lady's doubts, he emphasized his attitude without a trace, and said with a smile: "It's natural, and I don't understand anything. I mixed it up wrong. , that's not too big
