[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 46
Yingzheng walked in, there was no one in the palace, it was very quiet, Liu Che fell asleep, his brows furrowed slightly.
Ying Zheng walked over and sat down, looked down at Liu Che, a person with high authority, above tens of thousands of people, and with such a good appearance, he could talk to make women happy, no wonder Wei Zifu wanted a Climb up vigorously.
It's not that he hates other people's smartness, but that he doesn't like other people's cleverness. Wei Qing is honest, Ying Zheng wants to promote him, and his sister always wants to climb up when Ying Zheng is not paying attention. .
After Ying Zheng sat for a while, Liu Che felt like he was about to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he thought it was Wei Zifu who was waiting on the side, but unexpectedly it was Ying Zheng, and there was a moment of joy on his face.
Yingzheng couldn't understand what this kind of joy meant. After all, Yingzheng didn't know how to love someone with all his heart as an emperor. As long as someone followed him, it was enough.
So Yingzheng naturally couldn't understand what Liu Che's serious joy meant. When Liu Che had just ascended the throne, there were internal and external troubles, when the empress dowager came to court under pressure, when the princes were tyrannical and domineering, even in these days when there was no tiger talisman Here, it was Ying Zheng who was advising Liu Che.
Ying Zheng appeared when Liu Che was young and vigorous, even when he was most vulnerable and helpless. How could Liu Che not trust him?Maybe everything was imperceptible, but it was slowly ingrained in Liu Che's heart.
After being disturbed like this, Wei Qing also left. Wei Zifu came in and just saw Liu Che woke up. Liu Che motioned to the table, which meant that he wanted to drink water, but Ying Zheng was always served by others. I don't understand what Liu Che means.
Liu Che just woke up with a severe sore throat and wanted to speak, but he was a little powerless.
Seeing him, Wei Zifu hurried over to pick up the water glass and handed it to Liu Che, then carefully lifted Liu Che up and leaned against the edge of the couch.
Liu Che drank water and felt better. Wei Zifu took the water glass away and put it on the table. When she looked up, she met Ying Zheng's gaze. She wanted to take another step forward, but suddenly stopped. For a moment, then withdrew.
Only then did Ying Zheng say: "There are some important matters in the court that need to be reported to the emperor, please turn around."
Liu Che nodded, and glanced at Wei Zifu. Although Wei Zifu was unwilling, he still responded softly, and retreated respectfully.
Seeing her go, Liu Che said, "It's hard for Sister Gillian to support me."
Ying Zheng pretended to decline, and said: "This is supposed to be the Queen Mother's decision, and it's not easy for me to show my head, but the Queen Mother is getting old after all, and some things can't do what she wants, and she doesn't want to be angry with these veterans. "
Liu Che nodded, and said, "I'm just afraid that if you decide everything, the Empress Dowager will not be happy. As long as you make decisions, you will go to the East Palace and report to me, so that the Empress Dowager will have nothing to say."
Ying Zheng agreed and said, "The Emperor must have heard about the Xiongnu's war letter. This matter cannot be delayed. Now that Wang Hui has been imprisoned and the morale of the army has been stabilized, the result of the court discussion is that Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing appointed generals, dispatched [-] cavalry each, and marched out of the Great Wall to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, so the first strike will be the strongest."
After hearing this, Liu Che felt that it was a very good way to relieve anger. The Huns would never have thought that the Han army, who had always wanted peace and would not hesitate to send the princess to marry him, would take the initiative to send troops to attack them. They were unprepared and unprepared. will be bigger.
It's just that Liu Che is an emperor after all, and he noticed very keenly the name of a person Ying Zheng mentioned, and that was Wei Qing.
Liu Che said: "Li Guang is a parachutist. He has fought against the Huns for so many years. The Huns fear him the most, and even respect him the most. Li Guang will dispatch troops. I am very relieved. Gongsun Ao is also an old man. General, although the combat achievements are not as good as Li Guang, but it can still make people feel at ease... But Wei Qing..."
Ying Zheng knew that Liu Che was worried that Wei Qing was a fledgling and incompetent, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty should not worry about Wei Qing the least."
Liu Che saw the obsessive brilliance in Ying Zheng's eyes again, and his mood improved a lot unconsciously. He said, "How do you say that?"
Ying Zheng said: "As Your Majesty said, Li Guang is a parachutist and Gongsun Ao is a veteran. Their names have already been established by the Huns, but what is Wei Qing? He is a cavalry slave in the princess mansion, because he is in the palace. As a bodyguard, he was suddenly promoted to be a general. The Huns must look down on him and put the main force on Li Guang and Gongsun Ao... If these guesses are all luck, then there is another point, that is, Wei Qing is not conceited, just Because he has no military exploits or experience, everything must be done with caution, and Wei Qing has a brute force, which is perfect for dealing with the Huns."
Liu Che nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It is true that Wei Qing is exactly such a person as Sister Gillian said, so I am relieved."
Ying Zheng heard that Liu Che had already agreed, and the next step was the most crucial step, saying: "Although 30 troops can't compare with [-] troops, there is one thing that is the same..."
Hearing his hesitation, Liu Che understood immediately, but he didn't speak, waiting for Ying Zheng to continue.
Ying Zheng continued: "It doesn't matter whether it is 30 or [-], you need His Majesty's Tiger Talisman. After the troops are dispatched, the property must be returned to the original owner."
Liu Che didn't answer immediately, and seemed to be thinking whether to hand over the tiger charm to Ying Zheng. After all, the tiger charm is the representative of military power and the supreme right.
Liu Che propped up his hands, as if he was about to lie down, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to help him lie down.
Liu Che closed his eyes, seemed a little tired, but said calmly, "A-Jiao, I believe in you."
He raised his hand as he spoke, as if he was pointing at something. Ying Zheng felt like a drum beating in his heart. He immediately walked to the low cabinet, leaned down, and opened the drawer. Inside was a black gold-rimmed box.
Ying Zheng took out the box, put it on the table, and opened the lid, and there was half a golden tiger lying inside, which was the tiger charm.
Ying Zheng picked up the Tiger Talisman and held it in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the sudden warmth and coldness, so the Tiger Talisman felt a bit chilly. This cold, dead thing that was not warm at all made Ying Zheng extremely excited.
Yingzheng got the Tiger Talisman, and immediately recruited Dou Ying and Han Anguo, and asked them to deal with the logistics of food and grass.
Dou Ying and Han Anguo were a little surprised when they saw the tiger talisman. Although in the Xuanshi Pavilion, Ying Zheng said that he was only conveying the emperor's meaning, but it was obviously a prevarication, and some scheming veterans could hear it. Yingzheng himself meant that the emperor is now bedridden and very ill, how could he still have the mind to think about these dispatches of troops.
Dou Ying had seen some means of winning the government before, and he was the first to remind the Empress Dowager to pay attention, but those were small means and cautious, and could not be compared with major national affairs. Dou Ying was prepared in her heart, and still I was taken aback.
However, Han Anguo was unprepared. In his mind, Empress Chen was just a woman, and managing the country or marching to fight wars were all done by men. Fighting for the Liu family and defending the world.
This surprised Han Anguo. Han Anguo had already made the best preparations in his heart. When Yingzheng made all the arrangements, he couldn't get the tiger amulet for a long time. In the end, he had to send the princess and his relatives to appease the Huns.
He didn't expect that the Queen's Empress surprised him a lot.
Han Anguo was a little startled, and he didn't dare to doubt Ying Zheng's ability anymore. After he heard the arrangement and left the Xuanshi Pavilion, Tian Fu had been waiting for him for a long time.
Han Anguo used to be Prime Minister of Liang Wang. After the death of Liang Wang, he was unable to be an official for a long time. Later, he joined Tian Fu and gave him a lot of things. Tian Fu agreed to seek an official position for him.
Although Han Anguo was able to sit as the doctor of the imperial court today, it is because he has the ability, but just having the ability is not enough. If there is no recommendation from Tian Fu, I am afraid that he will not be able to find an official position to do it now.
So in a sense, Han Anguo is also a member of Tian Fu's faction.
Tian Fu found him, and Han Anguo was not stupid, so he naturally knew that he wanted to get Xuanshige's words out of his own mouth, but this matter was of great importance, and Han Anguo had seen Ying Zheng's tricks again, so he couldn't say anything. Go out, say that leaking military aircraft should be punished according to the law, Ying Zheng is not a soft-hearted person.
Tian Fu smiled and said, "Master Han, why don't we have a drink together?"
Han Anguo smiled, and declined: "My lord, the emperor's dragon body is unwell, and I am also anxious as a courtier. I really don't have the mood to have a drink. I have something to do, so let's go ahead."
Tian Fu's smile gradually froze on Han Anguo's face since Han Anguo started talking. Tian Fu really did not expect that Han Anguo would cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Tian Fu became angry immediately, stopped Han Anguo, and shouted in a low voice: "Have you forgotten who recommended you?"
Han Anguo stopped his feet, smiled wryly, and said: "My lord prime minister, it is because Mr. Han didn't forget who recommended me at that time, so I can't say another word to my lord prime minister... You also saw it. , The empress said one thing, two words will put Wang Hui in prison. The empress has already ordered that anything mentioned in the Xuanshi Pavilion is all important military affairs, and no one is allowed to disclose it, otherwise... there will be no pardon. Your Excellency, The person who heard it will definitely not be able to get anything good."
Han Anguo said that's all, he turned around and left without stopping.
Looking at Han Anguo's back, Tian Fu was so angry that he jumped his feet. The Dou family was over. Chen Ajiao could only be regarded as the remnants of the Dou family. The Wang family and the Tian family were the emperor's relatives, but he never thought that the Dou family could still rely on Empress Chen. This one woman made a comeback.
The more Tian Fu thought about it, the more angry he became. He thought to himself, if the emperor really turned his back on this woman and his uncle because of this woman, then don't blame himself for being ruthless and helping King Huainan take the throne.
Tian Fu was in a bad mood, so he asked the slave to drive the carriage and went home. When he arrived at the door of the house, before he entered, he was stopped by someone, who seemed to be begging him to do something.
Since Liu Che came to the throne, Tian Fu, as the emperor's uncle and the queen mother's younger brother, has now become the prime minister of the current court's chief assistant. Naturally, there are many people who ask him to do things, and several groups of people have to come to give gifts all day long. .
Tian Fu was unhappy today, and he didn't plan to meet anyone, but he never expected that the person who asked him to do something was indeed the son of Wang Hui, who had just been imprisoned.
Wang Hui's family sold their property and took out all their savings. They wanted to ask Tian Fu to say a few good words for Wang Hui. Even if there was no credit, it was hard work. Let Tian Fu say a few words and pardon Wang Hui's death sentence. .
Tian Fu himself doesn't like Wang Hui. Although Tian Fu is lustful and greedy for power, he has to say that his vision and knowledge are indeed good. Tian Fu himself thinks that Wang Hui is a person without courage and courage, which is impossible. It is very useful, but Liu Che is decisive and insists on going his own way, and refuses to listen to his letter.
Tian Fu didn't want to see Wang Hui, and didn't want to care about it, but he was just angry with Han Anguo and Ying Zheng, and suddenly thought that Wang Hui was the one Empress Chen wanted to kill. If he could save Wang Hui, wouldn't it be for him? Empress Chen gave a resounding slap in the ear.
Tian Fu immediately accepted the gold, and without getting out of the carriage, he immediately ordered the slave to jump on the horse's head and enter the palace again.
Tian Fu went directly to the East Palace. The Queen Mother was frowning about whether she should marry Huainan Wang. Seeing Tian Fu came again, she was a little impatient and said, "Why are you here again?"
Tian Fu walked over and said, "Sister, I have something important to tell you!"
The Queen Mother said: "It's important that I'm tired today, and my heart is tired. You hurry up and say it. I want to rest after I finish talking."
Tian Fu said: "I just heard the news that Wang Hui, who was captured by the empress today, seems to be condemned to death by the Ting Wei Department!"
"capital offense?"
The Queen Mother said: "Is that the person who delayed the war plan?"
"Yes, sister." Tian Fu said: "Although Wang Hui is guilty, he is not guilty of death, right? And the emperor ordered him to investigate, and did not say anything about the pursuit. Only the Huns turned around and ran away. Hitting the Huns, but taking the anger out on Wang Hui, is a little unreasonable, isn't it?"
"That's exactly what happened."
The Queen Mother said: "I think that Wang Hui is quite pitiful. He is still wearing armor when he is old."
Tian Fu said again: "Actually, Wang Hui doesn't need to be sentenced to death at all, it's all the queen's intention..."
"How do you say that?"
"Sister, don't you know that the empress must take advantage of the opportunity to revive the Dou family while the emperor is bedridden! Think about it, the Dou family is now down and has no power, how can we regain power? No Is it to kill people to build prestige? Let the ministers be afraid of him, whoever the queen wants to kill must die, so who dares to challenge the Dou family?"
The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, and said, "It's really unreasonable!"
Tian Fu said: "The empress doesn't take you seriously at all, sister, I didn't mean you, I think the empress dowager was still there at that time, you straightened up one day, didn't you always follow the empress dowager in a low voice In the back, I dare not speak loudly, dare not make a sound... As a result, now that you are still living in the East Palace, Empress Chen is already showing off her might, and whoever wants to die will die."
The Empress Dowager Wang was poked in the foot by Tian Fu, she immediately jumped up and said: "Hmph, it's too early for Empress Chen to show off her might. If I sit in the East Palace for a day, he won't even think about it!"
Tian Fu saw her standing up and walking out, so he hurried to catch up and said, "Sister, where are you going?"
"Where are you going?" The Queen Mother sneered, "Go to Jiaofang Hall and ask him why he killed Wang Hui."
As soon as Tian Fu heard it, he was happy in his heart, but his face was a bit embarrassed, and he said: "It's not convenient for me to go, brother Jiaofangdian, so my brother will leave first."
"Go."
The Queen Mother had no time to take care of Tianfu, so she had someone prepare a chariot battle and went to the Jiaofang Hall.
After a busy day, Yingzheng had just returned to the Jiaofang Hall to take a rest when he heard Chu Fu say, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."
Ying Zheng was not surprised, as if he had expected it, and said with a smile: "The queen mother came to ask the teacher for the crime."
That's all, let people follow me out of the palace gate to greet her, and behave respectfully so that the Queen Mother won't make trouble for nothing.
The Queen Mother really wanted to accuse him of disrespect as soon as she entered the door, but she didn't expect Ying Zheng to lead the crowd to greet him outside the hall, so she had to swallow the accusation back.
Yingzheng greeted the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also ignored her, walked into the Jiaofang Hall, sat directly on the upper seat, and said straight to the point: "I didn't come here to greet you, today, I'm tired too, so there's nothing to say."
Ying Zheng just said: "Please speak, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said: "That Wang Hui, do you still have the impression that even if he has no credit, he still has troubles, why bother to force him to death?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I don't know why the Queen Mother made such a statement. Wang Hui was sent to prison because of delaying the military plane, but the conviction and sentencing still need to be investigated by the Ting Wei Department. .”
The Queen Mother sneered, and said: "Don't fight me haha, just your two little tricks, how can I still not know? You want to use Wang Hui to gain power, but you don't even think about it. When the emperor was alive, he assisted the imperial court, and how many times he had been sent to the Xiongnu, even Princess Nangong, who was far away from the Xiongnu, remembered him and treated him with courtesy, if a big man killed such a meritorious official, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by others.”
Ying Zheng didn't seem to notice that the queen mother was angry, and said slowly: "The queen mother seems to have found the wrong person. If the queen mother wants to take care of this matter, she should go to the person in charge of the Tingwei Office to question her. The queen mother will follow me later. Asking doesn't help, does it?"
The Queen Mother immediately opened her eyes wide, patted the table and said, "What's your attitude? Is this your attitude towards your elders?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The younger generation doesn't know what's wrong with my attitude. If there is something wrong, please ask the Queen Mother to point it out."
The Queen Mother was so angry, but she couldn't make a mistake, she stood up with a sneer, and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the people from the Ting Wei Department to see how you treat people's lives so recklessly!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and walked out. Ying Zheng knelt down to send her off respectfully, and said, "Go slowly, Queen Mother, and send off the Queen Mother respectfully."
The queen mother felt angry when she heard the voice sending her off behind her. The queen mother thought to herself, thinking that she had no choice, she didn't believe that she could call the people from the Ting Wei Department over, and they could still refute her This empress dowager's face is just a Wang Hui, can she still save it?It's fine if it's collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but now it's something that is created out of nothing.
The Queen Mother returned to the East Palace, and immediately asked the people from the Chuan Ting Wei Department to enter the palace for questioning. Zhang Tang was called over in a hurry. Torture officials also need to have some capital to do it. If there is no support behind them, what are they going to use to torture others?
Zhang Tang didn't know what to do for a while, the empress asked him to deal with it strictly, and set up an army to fight the Huns. Zhang Tang also knew that the Huns were hateful, so he was about to punish Wang Hui, but the queen mother intervened. The family was at odds, and the flames burned on himself.
Yingzheng waited for the Queen Mother to leave, and thought about it in his mind. Wang Hui must die to build up his military prestige and fight the war. can't die.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "I'm going out of the palace, Chu Fu prepares the car."
Chu Fu has always been obedient to Yingzheng, and immediately asked someone to prepare a car, but this time Yingzheng did not go to the East Palace, Xuanshi Pavilion and Chengming Hall, but to the prison.
Ever since Wang Hui asked his son to beg Tian Fu, he felt very uneasy. He was afraid that Tian Fu would not help him because he had been against Tian Fu all the time, but when he thought that Tian Fu was a snob, as long as the price was right , I will definitely let go, and I feel that it is not impossible to have a chance of survival.
Wang Hui turned around in the prison several times, and was tired from standing, so he sat on the ground and sighed. At this time, he heard footsteps, and stood up like a frightened prey, leaning on the railing to look out.
It seemed that he was afraid of the jailer, because he was afraid that the jailer would bring him the judgment of the court, but he also hoped that it was the jailer, maybe it was his son who came to announce the good news.
As a result, Wang Huiquan was wrong. Although he was a prisoner, he did not bring the judgment of the court officer, nor the good news of Tian Fu. Instead, he brought a person, who was the palace guard. Surrounded by Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the cell door, and Wang Hui's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know what Ying Zheng did here. No matter whether Ying Zheng wanted to kill him or release him, Wang Hui couldn't think of any reason for a The queen empress, who was pampered by golden branches and jade leaves, went down to the prison to see him in person.
Ying Zheng looked down at the door lock, and the prisoner tactfully went to open it. Ying Zheng lowered his head a little, and walked into the cell.
The cell is fairly clean. After all, Wang Hui is an important minister. Before he is convicted, there is still a possibility of surviving. No one in the prison has ever been imprisoned. Although the prisoner only has one-third of an acre of land, he has seen the world It is impossible for a person to offend someone who has not yet been convicted. Maybe one day the sinner will turn over, but he doesn't want to be killed by his own stupidity.
Ying Zheng was followed by Chu Fu. Chu Fu carried a handful of boxes of food and wine and put them on the ground.
Wang Hui's eyes immediately fixed on the holding box. Although the holding box is very exquisite, carved with exquisite patterns, and the color is also very beautiful, but Wang Hui's eyes suddenly became erratic. After all, the wine and food given to prisoners are usually beheaded wine. .
Other guards, palace guards, and prisoners stood outside the cell, while Ying Zheng and Chu Fu stood inside.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Hui, and Wang Hui came back to his senses. He hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed, "Sinful minister...Sinful minister Wang Hui, kowtow to the empress, the empress is holy... Shengan."
Ying Zheng's gaze was still fixed on Wang Hui, as if he wanted to see through Wang Hui. Because Wang Hui had done something wrong and asked his son to bribe Tian Fu with gold, he was afraid that Ying Zheng would stare at him, so he trembled a little. like sifting chaff.
At this time, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Get up."
Wang Hui stood up, Yingzheng looked around the cell, and said slowly: "Wang Hui... Speaking of which, you are also an important minister. You have been sent to the Huns, and you will bring back words for Princess Nangong every time. It is possible that Princess Nangong In my heart, you are closer than your relatives, and these are all thanks to you."
"The guilty minister...the guilty minister dare not."
Wang Hui wanted to bow down again, but Ying Zheng didn't stop him. Wang Hui fell to his knees and kowtowed again, afraid that Ying Zheng would say something that would kill him.
Ying Zheng didn't ask him to get up this time, but sat down by himself, and he didn't dislike the dirt on the floor.
Wang Hui looked at Ying Zheng with some surprise.
Ying Zheng said: "You are a loyal minister, I know that, but Wang Hui...do you know how confused you are?"
"Sir...Sir..."
Wang Hui was speechless, lowered his head, and almost burst into tears.
Yingzheng's tone was still light, and he said: "You are too confused. You are a main fighter, and you are not afraid of the dignitaries in the court. When the power of the main peace faction is overwhelmed, you are willing to stand up for the main battle. Wang Hui, you know that your majesty How much do you think highly of you? This is the main combat faction that actually let the Huns slip away from under their noses because of their timidity on the battlefield."
"The guilty subject is not...not..."
Wang Hui wanted to say, "The guilty minister is not timid", but before he could say it, Ying Zheng suddenly yelled, "You dare to say it yourself. You, Wang Hui, didn't you stop chasing him because you were afraid of the Huns?"
Wang Hui trembled all over, and began to sieve the chaff desperately. He was indeed because the Huns had accumulated power for a long time, and he had only two thousand cavalry. Although he was an elite, he didn't dare to chase at all. , Wang Hui did not dare.
Wang Hui had nothing to say, Ying Zheng softened his tone, and said: "You were confused once, but you are a loyal minister after all, and your achievements are greater than your confusion. In the heart of the emperor, he is reluctant to part with you. I mentioned to the emperor that I want to kill you." Standing up the military prestige, the emperor repeatedly said that you are a loyal minister and cannot be killed."
Wang Hui finally raised his head, his eyes were already a little red and swollen, and said, "Your Majesty...the Emperor really said that?"
"Whether you are a loyal minister or not, you must know best in your heart, the emperor is wise, it is impossible not to see your loyalty... just."
Ying Zheng changed the subject, sneered and said, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be confused again. You actually asked someone to bribe Tian Fu in an attempt to exonerate yourself! Wang Hui, are you guilty?"
Wang Hui opened his mouth, already too scared to speak.
Ying Zheng said: "If the emperor knows that Wang Hui, a loyal minister, bribes the prime minister with money because he is afraid of death, I don't know what it will be like. Wang Hui, you are confused. You are getting more confused every time. At the last juncture, you have to Do you turn your whole life of wisdom into infamy? Do you want to change from a loyal minister to a treacherous minister in the emperor's heart?"
Wang Hui stared at the ground in front of him, lost in thought, muttered "Your Majesty", his two red and swollen eyes could no longer be hidden, and such a big man started to cry.
Ying Zheng stood up and said, "I've finished what I should say." He dusted off his clothes, looked at him slightly, and said dryly, "I can tell you that Tian Fu took your money and went to find it." After the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is now summoning the people from the Ting Wei Department, you will not die... After you are released from prison, you can be regarded as the servant of the Prime Minister Tian Fu. In the emperor's mind, you, Wang Hui, are no longer the grand order of the past."
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when Wang Hui suddenly said, "Your Majesty, stay behind!"
Only then did Ying Zheng stop, and turned to look at him, Wang Hui still knelt on the ground, took two steps forward on his knees, raised his head and said, "Madam, I want to know... how the court plans to deal with the Xiongnu's letter of war. "
Ying Zheng just thought about it for a while, and said, "Send [-] troops, go out of the Great Wall, and take the initiative to make a surprise attack."
Wang Hui thought for a while, nodded, and said: "The guilty minister still wants to know, the emperor... the emperor, does he already know... that the guilty minister bribed the prime minister in order to protect himself?"
Ying Zheng looked at him and said: "The emperor is seriously ill. No one wants to tell the emperor such a thing. Now it is only the East Palace that has intervened in this matter, but once the court judges, it will definitely report to the emperor."
Wang Hui nodded again, choked up and said, "The emperor doesn't know...he doesn't know...Fortunately, the emperor doesn't know..."
Wang Hui was just talking to himself, then suddenly kowtowed his head to the ground, keeping his bowed posture, and said: "Empress Empress, I implore the empress empress to keep this matter a secret. As a subject, the only ambition in this life is without exception. It is to assist the Holy Majesty to make meritorious deeds... to ruin the reputation of the guilty minister, the death of the guilty minister is not a pity, but I am afraid... afraid that the emperor will be disappointed!"
By the end of his speech, he was sobbing.
Seeing his tearful appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think a little bit. An emperor who was impulsive, unsteady, and lacked prudent thinking in form could actually recruit his courtiers to work hard for him. Liu Che was indeed superior.
Perhaps it was because of Liu Che's spirit and his drastic innovations in political affairs that these aspiring courtiers saw the not very bright dawn, but such bleakness made them feel grateful.
Ying Zheng nodded, and said, "Don't worry."
Wang Hui raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is still willing to give the guilty minister a big order, the guilty minister...the guilty minister has nothing to repay."
Ying Zheng turned around and walked out of the cell. He didn't look at Wang Hui through the railing, and said coldly, "I don't need you to repay what I have done. I want to use you to build an army. You want me to replace you." You keep it a secret, after today, Da Xing ordered Wang Hui... we're done."
Wang Hui looked at the back of Ying Zheng going away, stood up suddenly, grabbed the railing with a "bang", and the prison was so frightened that he thought he was going to break out, so he quickly closed the cell door.
Wang Hui grabbed the railing, leaned his head hard on the railing to look at the background of Yingzheng, and shouted: "The criminal minister respectfully sends off the empress! The criminal minister respectfully sends off the empress! The criminal minister..."
Wang Hui kept yelling that he couldn't see Ying Zheng's background, so he sat on the ground slumped. In front of him was the holding box that Ying Zheng asked his maid Chu Fu to put down.
There were a lot of food in the holding box, all of which were imperial meals from the palace, and they were naturally delicious. Wang Hui threw the lid away, and the lid hit the railing, making a very loud "clang clang".
The jailer came over to check, and slapped Wang Hui on the railing with a knife to scare Wang Hui, and said with a smile, "Eat something as fast as you can, damn it, it's so delicious, I don't even want to eat it."
The prisoner said that's all, and left again laughing.
Wang Hui looked at the box, took out all the food inside, and put them all on the ground, then took out the jug and wine bowl, carefully poured the wine in the jug into the bowl, and cried again.
Wang Hui knelt down facing the direction of the palace, held the wine bowl respectfully, and said: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake... I shouldn't be afraid of the enemy in front of the battle, and I shouldn't spend money to buy death! I repeat it again and again." Your timidity, everything is the subject's fault... The guilty subject, you are one step ahead."
As Wang Hui said, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Ying Zheng returned to the palace soon, and the Queen Mother finished putting pressure on Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang hurried to see Ying Zheng, wanting Ying Zheng to make up his mind.
Zhang Tang said with a mournful face: "Mother, just let the humble minister go, the humble minister is just a small official, how can you challenge the empress dowager?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "Did I say that I would make things difficult for you? Go back, what the Queen Mother tells you to do, you just obey."
Zhang Tang was still wondering why Ying Zheng, who had always been one-sided, suddenly let go, but didn't say anything more. He thanked Ying Zheng for his kindness and hurried back.
As soon as Zhang Tang entered the Tingwei Office, a prisoner rushed over and shouted in a hurry: "My lord! It's not good!"
Zhang Tang felt unlucky, he entered the palace twice in one day, and was played around by the empress and queen mother, how could he not feel unlucky, and shouted: "Speak quickly!"
The jailer said: "The guilty minister Wang Hui, in prison... committed suicide in fear of crime."
"What... what?"
Zhang Tang was like thunder, but he promised the Queen Mother well, saying that he would do things according to the ancestral system, and would not create something out of nothing, but as soon as he came back, he told himself that Wang Hui was dead.
Zhang Tang was a little startled at first, but he calmed down quickly. Now that the matter has come to this point, he has offended the Queen Mother. If he doesn't make a deal with Queen Chen, he will be finished.
Wang Hui's case came to a conclusion soon. Wang Hui was afraid of the enemy before the battle, delayed the military plane, and should be executed according to the law. The guilty minister Wang Hui, knowing that he had no face to face the emperor, had already committed suicide in prison.
Liu Che was still bedridden, and Zhang Tang took the memorial to report. Liu Che didn't want to read it, but Zhang Tang repeatedly asked the emperor to read it.
Only then did Liu Che unfold the bamboo slips, barely glanced at them, and was suddenly a little surprised, held his breath in his heart, and coughed.
Wei Zifu hurried forward to pat Liu Che on the back, while Zhang Tang knelt on the ground and dared not show his air.
Liu Che just threw his hands away, threw the bamboo slips on the ground, closed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Be kind to Wang Hui's family, go down."
Zhang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, responded in a low voice, and then left the bedroom.
When Tian Fu and the Queen Mother heard about the court's decision, they were furious. Tian Fu said, "Sister, it seems that we all underestimated Queen Chen."
The queen mother sneered and said, "Don't raise the prestige of other people. Even if he is prestige for a while, can he still be prestige for a lifetime? Can he still be like the empress dowager? He is still far behind, he is very tender."
Tian Fu said: "Yes, this is true, but this time Empress Chen has raised the face of the Dou family. Not only you, my sister, but even my younger brother, the prime minister, is no longer valued."
The Queen Mother said: "You, the leader of the three princes, can still lose to a woman?"
Tian Fu said: "Although this is the case, the prime minister is the head of the three princes, but brother, I am still a relative, and my prime minister has gradually become empty now, and I really have no power..."
"Then what do you say?"
Tian Fu waited for the Queen Mother's words, and said: "Sister, in the final analysis, no matter whether the surname is Wang or Tian, he is a foreign relative. Only when he is married to Liu and becomes a family can he say yes. own people."
The Queen Mother said: "What do you mean?"
Tian Fu smiled and said, "My sister may point out a marriage to me, and personally organize this marriage, so that I can hold on to the rights a little bit tighter."
The Queen Mother sneered and said, "That's it? Isn't it easy? It's just that Zhu'er is not in good health now, and you are his uncle. It's not appropriate to arrange a wedding at this time, for fear of others gossiping."
Tian Fu agreed immediately after hearing her, and was very happy immediately, saying: "Naturally, I'm not in a hurry, I just let my sister know what's in mind first, and wait until the emperor's dragon body is better."
Wang Hui was dead, and the whole court had heard about it. No one dared to contradict Ying Zheng, or thought that Ying Zheng was just a woman.
Yingzheng took the Tiger Talisman and asked Li Guanggong, Sun Ao and Wei Qing to quickly dispatch troops to the expedition, and with a thunderous momentum, they raided the scattered Xiongnu troops wandering north of the Great Wall.
[-] cavalry, although the number is not large, and the troops are divided into three groups, it seems that there is nothing to fear, but soon, the generals of the three routes came to the news, and they successfully raided the Xiongnu skirmishers respectively, and captured many Hun soldiers. The horses and weapons were seized.
It was just a small battle victory, but this small victory was like a thunderbolt, shaking the entire Han court, because this matter had been kept secret before, and no one knew about it, but now it was suddenly obtained by Hong Kong. Ling Jie reported that everyone was a little speechless. They didn't expect that after so many years, someone would dare to provoke the Huns and win.
Yingzheng stood on the Chengming Palace, and the Queen Mother was still sitting aside. Although she was happy that the Han army could win, she was not happy. This was the victory under Yingzheng's command.
Ying Zheng looked at the respectful and respectful ministers sitting on both sides of the kneeling, chuckled, and said: "The Huns did send a letter of war, but
Ying Zheng walked over and sat down, looked down at Liu Che, a person with high authority, above tens of thousands of people, and with such a good appearance, he could talk to make women happy, no wonder Wei Zifu wanted a Climb up vigorously.
It's not that he hates other people's smartness, but that he doesn't like other people's cleverness. Wei Qing is honest, Ying Zheng wants to promote him, and his sister always wants to climb up when Ying Zheng is not paying attention. .
After Ying Zheng sat for a while, Liu Che felt like he was about to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he thought it was Wei Zifu who was waiting on the side, but unexpectedly it was Ying Zheng, and there was a moment of joy on his face.
Yingzheng couldn't understand what this kind of joy meant. After all, Yingzheng didn't know how to love someone with all his heart as an emperor. As long as someone followed him, it was enough.
So Yingzheng naturally couldn't understand what Liu Che's serious joy meant. When Liu Che had just ascended the throne, there were internal and external troubles, when the empress dowager came to court under pressure, when the princes were tyrannical and domineering, even in these days when there was no tiger talisman Here, it was Ying Zheng who was advising Liu Che.
Ying Zheng appeared when Liu Che was young and vigorous, even when he was most vulnerable and helpless. How could Liu Che not trust him?Maybe everything was imperceptible, but it was slowly ingrained in Liu Che's heart.
After being disturbed like this, Wei Qing also left. Wei Zifu came in and just saw Liu Che woke up. Liu Che motioned to the table, which meant that he wanted to drink water, but Ying Zheng was always served by others. I don't understand what Liu Che means.
Liu Che just woke up with a severe sore throat and wanted to speak, but he was a little powerless.
Seeing him, Wei Zifu hurried over to pick up the water glass and handed it to Liu Che, then carefully lifted Liu Che up and leaned against the edge of the couch.
Liu Che drank water and felt better. Wei Zifu took the water glass away and put it on the table. When she looked up, she met Ying Zheng's gaze. She wanted to take another step forward, but suddenly stopped. For a moment, then withdrew.
Only then did Ying Zheng say: "There are some important matters in the court that need to be reported to the emperor, please turn around."
Liu Che nodded, and glanced at Wei Zifu. Although Wei Zifu was unwilling, he still responded softly, and retreated respectfully.
Seeing her go, Liu Che said, "It's hard for Sister Gillian to support me."
Ying Zheng pretended to decline, and said: "This is supposed to be the Queen Mother's decision, and it's not easy for me to show my head, but the Queen Mother is getting old after all, and some things can't do what she wants, and she doesn't want to be angry with these veterans. "
Liu Che nodded, and said, "I'm just afraid that if you decide everything, the Empress Dowager will not be happy. As long as you make decisions, you will go to the East Palace and report to me, so that the Empress Dowager will have nothing to say."
Ying Zheng agreed and said, "The Emperor must have heard about the Xiongnu's war letter. This matter cannot be delayed. Now that Wang Hui has been imprisoned and the morale of the army has been stabilized, the result of the court discussion is that Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing appointed generals, dispatched [-] cavalry each, and marched out of the Great Wall to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, so the first strike will be the strongest."
After hearing this, Liu Che felt that it was a very good way to relieve anger. The Huns would never have thought that the Han army, who had always wanted peace and would not hesitate to send the princess to marry him, would take the initiative to send troops to attack them. They were unprepared and unprepared. will be bigger.
It's just that Liu Che is an emperor after all, and he noticed very keenly the name of a person Ying Zheng mentioned, and that was Wei Qing.
Liu Che said: "Li Guang is a parachutist. He has fought against the Huns for so many years. The Huns fear him the most, and even respect him the most. Li Guang will dispatch troops. I am very relieved. Gongsun Ao is also an old man. General, although the combat achievements are not as good as Li Guang, but it can still make people feel at ease... But Wei Qing..."
Ying Zheng knew that Liu Che was worried that Wei Qing was a fledgling and incompetent, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty should not worry about Wei Qing the least."
Liu Che saw the obsessive brilliance in Ying Zheng's eyes again, and his mood improved a lot unconsciously. He said, "How do you say that?"
Ying Zheng said: "As Your Majesty said, Li Guang is a parachutist and Gongsun Ao is a veteran. Their names have already been established by the Huns, but what is Wei Qing? He is a cavalry slave in the princess mansion, because he is in the palace. As a bodyguard, he was suddenly promoted to be a general. The Huns must look down on him and put the main force on Li Guang and Gongsun Ao... If these guesses are all luck, then there is another point, that is, Wei Qing is not conceited, just Because he has no military exploits or experience, everything must be done with caution, and Wei Qing has a brute force, which is perfect for dealing with the Huns."
Liu Che nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It is true that Wei Qing is exactly such a person as Sister Gillian said, so I am relieved."
Ying Zheng heard that Liu Che had already agreed, and the next step was the most crucial step, saying: "Although 30 troops can't compare with [-] troops, there is one thing that is the same..."
Hearing his hesitation, Liu Che understood immediately, but he didn't speak, waiting for Ying Zheng to continue.
Ying Zheng continued: "It doesn't matter whether it is 30 or [-], you need His Majesty's Tiger Talisman. After the troops are dispatched, the property must be returned to the original owner."
Liu Che didn't answer immediately, and seemed to be thinking whether to hand over the tiger charm to Ying Zheng. After all, the tiger charm is the representative of military power and the supreme right.
Liu Che propped up his hands, as if he was about to lie down, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to help him lie down.
Liu Che closed his eyes, seemed a little tired, but said calmly, "A-Jiao, I believe in you."
He raised his hand as he spoke, as if he was pointing at something. Ying Zheng felt like a drum beating in his heart. He immediately walked to the low cabinet, leaned down, and opened the drawer. Inside was a black gold-rimmed box.
Ying Zheng took out the box, put it on the table, and opened the lid, and there was half a golden tiger lying inside, which was the tiger charm.
Ying Zheng picked up the Tiger Talisman and held it in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the sudden warmth and coldness, so the Tiger Talisman felt a bit chilly. This cold, dead thing that was not warm at all made Ying Zheng extremely excited.
Yingzheng got the Tiger Talisman, and immediately recruited Dou Ying and Han Anguo, and asked them to deal with the logistics of food and grass.
Dou Ying and Han Anguo were a little surprised when they saw the tiger talisman. Although in the Xuanshi Pavilion, Ying Zheng said that he was only conveying the emperor's meaning, but it was obviously a prevarication, and some scheming veterans could hear it. Yingzheng himself meant that the emperor is now bedridden and very ill, how could he still have the mind to think about these dispatches of troops.
Dou Ying had seen some means of winning the government before, and he was the first to remind the Empress Dowager to pay attention, but those were small means and cautious, and could not be compared with major national affairs. Dou Ying was prepared in her heart, and still I was taken aback.
However, Han Anguo was unprepared. In his mind, Empress Chen was just a woman, and managing the country or marching to fight wars were all done by men. Fighting for the Liu family and defending the world.
This surprised Han Anguo. Han Anguo had already made the best preparations in his heart. When Yingzheng made all the arrangements, he couldn't get the tiger amulet for a long time. In the end, he had to send the princess and his relatives to appease the Huns.
He didn't expect that the Queen's Empress surprised him a lot.
Han Anguo was a little startled, and he didn't dare to doubt Ying Zheng's ability anymore. After he heard the arrangement and left the Xuanshi Pavilion, Tian Fu had been waiting for him for a long time.
Han Anguo used to be Prime Minister of Liang Wang. After the death of Liang Wang, he was unable to be an official for a long time. Later, he joined Tian Fu and gave him a lot of things. Tian Fu agreed to seek an official position for him.
Although Han Anguo was able to sit as the doctor of the imperial court today, it is because he has the ability, but just having the ability is not enough. If there is no recommendation from Tian Fu, I am afraid that he will not be able to find an official position to do it now.
So in a sense, Han Anguo is also a member of Tian Fu's faction.
Tian Fu found him, and Han Anguo was not stupid, so he naturally knew that he wanted to get Xuanshige's words out of his own mouth, but this matter was of great importance, and Han Anguo had seen Ying Zheng's tricks again, so he couldn't say anything. Go out, say that leaking military aircraft should be punished according to the law, Ying Zheng is not a soft-hearted person.
Tian Fu smiled and said, "Master Han, why don't we have a drink together?"
Han Anguo smiled, and declined: "My lord, the emperor's dragon body is unwell, and I am also anxious as a courtier. I really don't have the mood to have a drink. I have something to do, so let's go ahead."
Tian Fu's smile gradually froze on Han Anguo's face since Han Anguo started talking. Tian Fu really did not expect that Han Anguo would cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Tian Fu became angry immediately, stopped Han Anguo, and shouted in a low voice: "Have you forgotten who recommended you?"
Han Anguo stopped his feet, smiled wryly, and said: "My lord prime minister, it is because Mr. Han didn't forget who recommended me at that time, so I can't say another word to my lord prime minister... You also saw it. , The empress said one thing, two words will put Wang Hui in prison. The empress has already ordered that anything mentioned in the Xuanshi Pavilion is all important military affairs, and no one is allowed to disclose it, otherwise... there will be no pardon. Your Excellency, The person who heard it will definitely not be able to get anything good."
Han Anguo said that's all, he turned around and left without stopping.
Looking at Han Anguo's back, Tian Fu was so angry that he jumped his feet. The Dou family was over. Chen Ajiao could only be regarded as the remnants of the Dou family. The Wang family and the Tian family were the emperor's relatives, but he never thought that the Dou family could still rely on Empress Chen. This one woman made a comeback.
The more Tian Fu thought about it, the more angry he became. He thought to himself, if the emperor really turned his back on this woman and his uncle because of this woman, then don't blame himself for being ruthless and helping King Huainan take the throne.
Tian Fu was in a bad mood, so he asked the slave to drive the carriage and went home. When he arrived at the door of the house, before he entered, he was stopped by someone, who seemed to be begging him to do something.
Since Liu Che came to the throne, Tian Fu, as the emperor's uncle and the queen mother's younger brother, has now become the prime minister of the current court's chief assistant. Naturally, there are many people who ask him to do things, and several groups of people have to come to give gifts all day long. .
Tian Fu was unhappy today, and he didn't plan to meet anyone, but he never expected that the person who asked him to do something was indeed the son of Wang Hui, who had just been imprisoned.
Wang Hui's family sold their property and took out all their savings. They wanted to ask Tian Fu to say a few good words for Wang Hui. Even if there was no credit, it was hard work. Let Tian Fu say a few words and pardon Wang Hui's death sentence. .
Tian Fu himself doesn't like Wang Hui. Although Tian Fu is lustful and greedy for power, he has to say that his vision and knowledge are indeed good. Tian Fu himself thinks that Wang Hui is a person without courage and courage, which is impossible. It is very useful, but Liu Che is decisive and insists on going his own way, and refuses to listen to his letter.
Tian Fu didn't want to see Wang Hui, and didn't want to care about it, but he was just angry with Han Anguo and Ying Zheng, and suddenly thought that Wang Hui was the one Empress Chen wanted to kill. If he could save Wang Hui, wouldn't it be for him? Empress Chen gave a resounding slap in the ear.
Tian Fu immediately accepted the gold, and without getting out of the carriage, he immediately ordered the slave to jump on the horse's head and enter the palace again.
Tian Fu went directly to the East Palace. The Queen Mother was frowning about whether she should marry Huainan Wang. Seeing Tian Fu came again, she was a little impatient and said, "Why are you here again?"
Tian Fu walked over and said, "Sister, I have something important to tell you!"
The Queen Mother said: "It's important that I'm tired today, and my heart is tired. You hurry up and say it. I want to rest after I finish talking."
Tian Fu said: "I just heard the news that Wang Hui, who was captured by the empress today, seems to be condemned to death by the Ting Wei Department!"
"capital offense?"
The Queen Mother said: "Is that the person who delayed the war plan?"
"Yes, sister." Tian Fu said: "Although Wang Hui is guilty, he is not guilty of death, right? And the emperor ordered him to investigate, and did not say anything about the pursuit. Only the Huns turned around and ran away. Hitting the Huns, but taking the anger out on Wang Hui, is a little unreasonable, isn't it?"
"That's exactly what happened."
The Queen Mother said: "I think that Wang Hui is quite pitiful. He is still wearing armor when he is old."
Tian Fu said again: "Actually, Wang Hui doesn't need to be sentenced to death at all, it's all the queen's intention..."
"How do you say that?"
"Sister, don't you know that the empress must take advantage of the opportunity to revive the Dou family while the emperor is bedridden! Think about it, the Dou family is now down and has no power, how can we regain power? No Is it to kill people to build prestige? Let the ministers be afraid of him, whoever the queen wants to kill must die, so who dares to challenge the Dou family?"
The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, and said, "It's really unreasonable!"
Tian Fu said: "The empress doesn't take you seriously at all, sister, I didn't mean you, I think the empress dowager was still there at that time, you straightened up one day, didn't you always follow the empress dowager in a low voice In the back, I dare not speak loudly, dare not make a sound... As a result, now that you are still living in the East Palace, Empress Chen is already showing off her might, and whoever wants to die will die."
The Empress Dowager Wang was poked in the foot by Tian Fu, she immediately jumped up and said: "Hmph, it's too early for Empress Chen to show off her might. If I sit in the East Palace for a day, he won't even think about it!"
Tian Fu saw her standing up and walking out, so he hurried to catch up and said, "Sister, where are you going?"
"Where are you going?" The Queen Mother sneered, "Go to Jiaofang Hall and ask him why he killed Wang Hui."
As soon as Tian Fu heard it, he was happy in his heart, but his face was a bit embarrassed, and he said: "It's not convenient for me to go, brother Jiaofangdian, so my brother will leave first."
"Go."
The Queen Mother had no time to take care of Tianfu, so she had someone prepare a chariot battle and went to the Jiaofang Hall.
After a busy day, Yingzheng had just returned to the Jiaofang Hall to take a rest when he heard Chu Fu say, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."
Ying Zheng was not surprised, as if he had expected it, and said with a smile: "The queen mother came to ask the teacher for the crime."
That's all, let people follow me out of the palace gate to greet her, and behave respectfully so that the Queen Mother won't make trouble for nothing.
The Queen Mother really wanted to accuse him of disrespect as soon as she entered the door, but she didn't expect Ying Zheng to lead the crowd to greet him outside the hall, so she had to swallow the accusation back.
Yingzheng greeted the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also ignored her, walked into the Jiaofang Hall, sat directly on the upper seat, and said straight to the point: "I didn't come here to greet you, today, I'm tired too, so there's nothing to say."
Ying Zheng just said: "Please speak, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said: "That Wang Hui, do you still have the impression that even if he has no credit, he still has troubles, why bother to force him to death?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I don't know why the Queen Mother made such a statement. Wang Hui was sent to prison because of delaying the military plane, but the conviction and sentencing still need to be investigated by the Ting Wei Department. .”
The Queen Mother sneered, and said: "Don't fight me haha, just your two little tricks, how can I still not know? You want to use Wang Hui to gain power, but you don't even think about it. When the emperor was alive, he assisted the imperial court, and how many times he had been sent to the Xiongnu, even Princess Nangong, who was far away from the Xiongnu, remembered him and treated him with courtesy, if a big man killed such a meritorious official, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by others.”
Ying Zheng didn't seem to notice that the queen mother was angry, and said slowly: "The queen mother seems to have found the wrong person. If the queen mother wants to take care of this matter, she should go to the person in charge of the Tingwei Office to question her. The queen mother will follow me later. Asking doesn't help, does it?"
The Queen Mother immediately opened her eyes wide, patted the table and said, "What's your attitude? Is this your attitude towards your elders?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The younger generation doesn't know what's wrong with my attitude. If there is something wrong, please ask the Queen Mother to point it out."
The Queen Mother was so angry, but she couldn't make a mistake, she stood up with a sneer, and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the people from the Ting Wei Department to see how you treat people's lives so recklessly!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and walked out. Ying Zheng knelt down to send her off respectfully, and said, "Go slowly, Queen Mother, and send off the Queen Mother respectfully."
The queen mother felt angry when she heard the voice sending her off behind her. The queen mother thought to herself, thinking that she had no choice, she didn't believe that she could call the people from the Ting Wei Department over, and they could still refute her This empress dowager's face is just a Wang Hui, can she still save it?It's fine if it's collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but now it's something that is created out of nothing.
The Queen Mother returned to the East Palace, and immediately asked the people from the Chuan Ting Wei Department to enter the palace for questioning. Zhang Tang was called over in a hurry. Torture officials also need to have some capital to do it. If there is no support behind them, what are they going to use to torture others?
Zhang Tang didn't know what to do for a while, the empress asked him to deal with it strictly, and set up an army to fight the Huns. Zhang Tang also knew that the Huns were hateful, so he was about to punish Wang Hui, but the queen mother intervened. The family was at odds, and the flames burned on himself.
Yingzheng waited for the Queen Mother to leave, and thought about it in his mind. Wang Hui must die to build up his military prestige and fight the war. can't die.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "I'm going out of the palace, Chu Fu prepares the car."
Chu Fu has always been obedient to Yingzheng, and immediately asked someone to prepare a car, but this time Yingzheng did not go to the East Palace, Xuanshi Pavilion and Chengming Hall, but to the prison.
Ever since Wang Hui asked his son to beg Tian Fu, he felt very uneasy. He was afraid that Tian Fu would not help him because he had been against Tian Fu all the time, but when he thought that Tian Fu was a snob, as long as the price was right , I will definitely let go, and I feel that it is not impossible to have a chance of survival.
Wang Hui turned around in the prison several times, and was tired from standing, so he sat on the ground and sighed. At this time, he heard footsteps, and stood up like a frightened prey, leaning on the railing to look out.
It seemed that he was afraid of the jailer, because he was afraid that the jailer would bring him the judgment of the court, but he also hoped that it was the jailer, maybe it was his son who came to announce the good news.
As a result, Wang Huiquan was wrong. Although he was a prisoner, he did not bring the judgment of the court officer, nor the good news of Tian Fu. Instead, he brought a person, who was the palace guard. Surrounded by Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the cell door, and Wang Hui's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know what Ying Zheng did here. No matter whether Ying Zheng wanted to kill him or release him, Wang Hui couldn't think of any reason for a The queen empress, who was pampered by golden branches and jade leaves, went down to the prison to see him in person.
Ying Zheng looked down at the door lock, and the prisoner tactfully went to open it. Ying Zheng lowered his head a little, and walked into the cell.
The cell is fairly clean. After all, Wang Hui is an important minister. Before he is convicted, there is still a possibility of surviving. No one in the prison has ever been imprisoned. Although the prisoner only has one-third of an acre of land, he has seen the world It is impossible for a person to offend someone who has not yet been convicted. Maybe one day the sinner will turn over, but he doesn't want to be killed by his own stupidity.
Ying Zheng was followed by Chu Fu. Chu Fu carried a handful of boxes of food and wine and put them on the ground.
Wang Hui's eyes immediately fixed on the holding box. Although the holding box is very exquisite, carved with exquisite patterns, and the color is also very beautiful, but Wang Hui's eyes suddenly became erratic. After all, the wine and food given to prisoners are usually beheaded wine. .
Other guards, palace guards, and prisoners stood outside the cell, while Ying Zheng and Chu Fu stood inside.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Hui, and Wang Hui came back to his senses. He hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed, "Sinful minister...Sinful minister Wang Hui, kowtow to the empress, the empress is holy... Shengan."
Ying Zheng's gaze was still fixed on Wang Hui, as if he wanted to see through Wang Hui. Because Wang Hui had done something wrong and asked his son to bribe Tian Fu with gold, he was afraid that Ying Zheng would stare at him, so he trembled a little. like sifting chaff.
At this time, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Get up."
Wang Hui stood up, Yingzheng looked around the cell, and said slowly: "Wang Hui... Speaking of which, you are also an important minister. You have been sent to the Huns, and you will bring back words for Princess Nangong every time. It is possible that Princess Nangong In my heart, you are closer than your relatives, and these are all thanks to you."
"The guilty minister...the guilty minister dare not."
Wang Hui wanted to bow down again, but Ying Zheng didn't stop him. Wang Hui fell to his knees and kowtowed again, afraid that Ying Zheng would say something that would kill him.
Ying Zheng didn't ask him to get up this time, but sat down by himself, and he didn't dislike the dirt on the floor.
Wang Hui looked at Ying Zheng with some surprise.
Ying Zheng said: "You are a loyal minister, I know that, but Wang Hui...do you know how confused you are?"
"Sir...Sir..."
Wang Hui was speechless, lowered his head, and almost burst into tears.
Yingzheng's tone was still light, and he said: "You are too confused. You are a main fighter, and you are not afraid of the dignitaries in the court. When the power of the main peace faction is overwhelmed, you are willing to stand up for the main battle. Wang Hui, you know that your majesty How much do you think highly of you? This is the main combat faction that actually let the Huns slip away from under their noses because of their timidity on the battlefield."
"The guilty subject is not...not..."
Wang Hui wanted to say, "The guilty minister is not timid", but before he could say it, Ying Zheng suddenly yelled, "You dare to say it yourself. You, Wang Hui, didn't you stop chasing him because you were afraid of the Huns?"
Wang Hui trembled all over, and began to sieve the chaff desperately. He was indeed because the Huns had accumulated power for a long time, and he had only two thousand cavalry. Although he was an elite, he didn't dare to chase at all. , Wang Hui did not dare.
Wang Hui had nothing to say, Ying Zheng softened his tone, and said: "You were confused once, but you are a loyal minister after all, and your achievements are greater than your confusion. In the heart of the emperor, he is reluctant to part with you. I mentioned to the emperor that I want to kill you." Standing up the military prestige, the emperor repeatedly said that you are a loyal minister and cannot be killed."
Wang Hui finally raised his head, his eyes were already a little red and swollen, and said, "Your Majesty...the Emperor really said that?"
"Whether you are a loyal minister or not, you must know best in your heart, the emperor is wise, it is impossible not to see your loyalty... just."
Ying Zheng changed the subject, sneered and said, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be confused again. You actually asked someone to bribe Tian Fu in an attempt to exonerate yourself! Wang Hui, are you guilty?"
Wang Hui opened his mouth, already too scared to speak.
Ying Zheng said: "If the emperor knows that Wang Hui, a loyal minister, bribes the prime minister with money because he is afraid of death, I don't know what it will be like. Wang Hui, you are confused. You are getting more confused every time. At the last juncture, you have to Do you turn your whole life of wisdom into infamy? Do you want to change from a loyal minister to a treacherous minister in the emperor's heart?"
Wang Hui stared at the ground in front of him, lost in thought, muttered "Your Majesty", his two red and swollen eyes could no longer be hidden, and such a big man started to cry.
Ying Zheng stood up and said, "I've finished what I should say." He dusted off his clothes, looked at him slightly, and said dryly, "I can tell you that Tian Fu took your money and went to find it." After the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is now summoning the people from the Ting Wei Department, you will not die... After you are released from prison, you can be regarded as the servant of the Prime Minister Tian Fu. In the emperor's mind, you, Wang Hui, are no longer the grand order of the past."
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when Wang Hui suddenly said, "Your Majesty, stay behind!"
Only then did Ying Zheng stop, and turned to look at him, Wang Hui still knelt on the ground, took two steps forward on his knees, raised his head and said, "Madam, I want to know... how the court plans to deal with the Xiongnu's letter of war. "
Ying Zheng just thought about it for a while, and said, "Send [-] troops, go out of the Great Wall, and take the initiative to make a surprise attack."
Wang Hui thought for a while, nodded, and said: "The guilty minister still wants to know, the emperor... the emperor, does he already know... that the guilty minister bribed the prime minister in order to protect himself?"
Ying Zheng looked at him and said: "The emperor is seriously ill. No one wants to tell the emperor such a thing. Now it is only the East Palace that has intervened in this matter, but once the court judges, it will definitely report to the emperor."
Wang Hui nodded again, choked up and said, "The emperor doesn't know...he doesn't know...Fortunately, the emperor doesn't know..."
Wang Hui was just talking to himself, then suddenly kowtowed his head to the ground, keeping his bowed posture, and said: "Empress Empress, I implore the empress empress to keep this matter a secret. As a subject, the only ambition in this life is without exception. It is to assist the Holy Majesty to make meritorious deeds... to ruin the reputation of the guilty minister, the death of the guilty minister is not a pity, but I am afraid... afraid that the emperor will be disappointed!"
By the end of his speech, he was sobbing.
Seeing his tearful appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think a little bit. An emperor who was impulsive, unsteady, and lacked prudent thinking in form could actually recruit his courtiers to work hard for him. Liu Che was indeed superior.
Perhaps it was because of Liu Che's spirit and his drastic innovations in political affairs that these aspiring courtiers saw the not very bright dawn, but such bleakness made them feel grateful.
Ying Zheng nodded, and said, "Don't worry."
Wang Hui raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is still willing to give the guilty minister a big order, the guilty minister...the guilty minister has nothing to repay."
Ying Zheng turned around and walked out of the cell. He didn't look at Wang Hui through the railing, and said coldly, "I don't need you to repay what I have done. I want to use you to build an army. You want me to replace you." You keep it a secret, after today, Da Xing ordered Wang Hui... we're done."
Wang Hui looked at the back of Ying Zheng going away, stood up suddenly, grabbed the railing with a "bang", and the prison was so frightened that he thought he was going to break out, so he quickly closed the cell door.
Wang Hui grabbed the railing, leaned his head hard on the railing to look at the background of Yingzheng, and shouted: "The criminal minister respectfully sends off the empress! The criminal minister respectfully sends off the empress! The criminal minister..."
Wang Hui kept yelling that he couldn't see Ying Zheng's background, so he sat on the ground slumped. In front of him was the holding box that Ying Zheng asked his maid Chu Fu to put down.
There were a lot of food in the holding box, all of which were imperial meals from the palace, and they were naturally delicious. Wang Hui threw the lid away, and the lid hit the railing, making a very loud "clang clang".
The jailer came over to check, and slapped Wang Hui on the railing with a knife to scare Wang Hui, and said with a smile, "Eat something as fast as you can, damn it, it's so delicious, I don't even want to eat it."
The prisoner said that's all, and left again laughing.
Wang Hui looked at the box, took out all the food inside, and put them all on the ground, then took out the jug and wine bowl, carefully poured the wine in the jug into the bowl, and cried again.
Wang Hui knelt down facing the direction of the palace, held the wine bowl respectfully, and said: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake... I shouldn't be afraid of the enemy in front of the battle, and I shouldn't spend money to buy death! I repeat it again and again." Your timidity, everything is the subject's fault... The guilty subject, you are one step ahead."
As Wang Hui said, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Ying Zheng returned to the palace soon, and the Queen Mother finished putting pressure on Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang hurried to see Ying Zheng, wanting Ying Zheng to make up his mind.
Zhang Tang said with a mournful face: "Mother, just let the humble minister go, the humble minister is just a small official, how can you challenge the empress dowager?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "Did I say that I would make things difficult for you? Go back, what the Queen Mother tells you to do, you just obey."
Zhang Tang was still wondering why Ying Zheng, who had always been one-sided, suddenly let go, but didn't say anything more. He thanked Ying Zheng for his kindness and hurried back.
As soon as Zhang Tang entered the Tingwei Office, a prisoner rushed over and shouted in a hurry: "My lord! It's not good!"
Zhang Tang felt unlucky, he entered the palace twice in one day, and was played around by the empress and queen mother, how could he not feel unlucky, and shouted: "Speak quickly!"
The jailer said: "The guilty minister Wang Hui, in prison... committed suicide in fear of crime."
"What... what?"
Zhang Tang was like thunder, but he promised the Queen Mother well, saying that he would do things according to the ancestral system, and would not create something out of nothing, but as soon as he came back, he told himself that Wang Hui was dead.
Zhang Tang was a little startled at first, but he calmed down quickly. Now that the matter has come to this point, he has offended the Queen Mother. If he doesn't make a deal with Queen Chen, he will be finished.
Wang Hui's case came to a conclusion soon. Wang Hui was afraid of the enemy before the battle, delayed the military plane, and should be executed according to the law. The guilty minister Wang Hui, knowing that he had no face to face the emperor, had already committed suicide in prison.
Liu Che was still bedridden, and Zhang Tang took the memorial to report. Liu Che didn't want to read it, but Zhang Tang repeatedly asked the emperor to read it.
Only then did Liu Che unfold the bamboo slips, barely glanced at them, and was suddenly a little surprised, held his breath in his heart, and coughed.
Wei Zifu hurried forward to pat Liu Che on the back, while Zhang Tang knelt on the ground and dared not show his air.
Liu Che just threw his hands away, threw the bamboo slips on the ground, closed his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Be kind to Wang Hui's family, go down."
Zhang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, responded in a low voice, and then left the bedroom.
When Tian Fu and the Queen Mother heard about the court's decision, they were furious. Tian Fu said, "Sister, it seems that we all underestimated Queen Chen."
The queen mother sneered and said, "Don't raise the prestige of other people. Even if he is prestige for a while, can he still be prestige for a lifetime? Can he still be like the empress dowager? He is still far behind, he is very tender."
Tian Fu said: "Yes, this is true, but this time Empress Chen has raised the face of the Dou family. Not only you, my sister, but even my younger brother, the prime minister, is no longer valued."
The Queen Mother said: "You, the leader of the three princes, can still lose to a woman?"
Tian Fu said: "Although this is the case, the prime minister is the head of the three princes, but brother, I am still a relative, and my prime minister has gradually become empty now, and I really have no power..."
"Then what do you say?"
Tian Fu waited for the Queen Mother's words, and said: "Sister, in the final analysis, no matter whether the surname is Wang or Tian, he is a foreign relative. Only when he is married to Liu and becomes a family can he say yes. own people."
The Queen Mother said: "What do you mean?"
Tian Fu smiled and said, "My sister may point out a marriage to me, and personally organize this marriage, so that I can hold on to the rights a little bit tighter."
The Queen Mother sneered and said, "That's it? Isn't it easy? It's just that Zhu'er is not in good health now, and you are his uncle. It's not appropriate to arrange a wedding at this time, for fear of others gossiping."
Tian Fu agreed immediately after hearing her, and was very happy immediately, saying: "Naturally, I'm not in a hurry, I just let my sister know what's in mind first, and wait until the emperor's dragon body is better."
Wang Hui was dead, and the whole court had heard about it. No one dared to contradict Ying Zheng, or thought that Ying Zheng was just a woman.
Yingzheng took the Tiger Talisman and asked Li Guanggong, Sun Ao and Wei Qing to quickly dispatch troops to the expedition, and with a thunderous momentum, they raided the scattered Xiongnu troops wandering north of the Great Wall.
[-] cavalry, although the number is not large, and the troops are divided into three groups, it seems that there is nothing to fear, but soon, the generals of the three routes came to the news, and they successfully raided the Xiongnu skirmishers respectively, and captured many Hun soldiers. The horses and weapons were seized.
It was just a small battle victory, but this small victory was like a thunderbolt, shaking the entire Han court, because this matter had been kept secret before, and no one knew about it, but now it was suddenly obtained by Hong Kong. Ling Jie reported that everyone was a little speechless. They didn't expect that after so many years, someone would dare to provoke the Huns and win.
Yingzheng stood on the Chengming Palace, and the Queen Mother was still sitting aside. Although she was happy that the Han army could win, she was not happy. This was the victory under Yingzheng's command.
Ying Zheng looked at the respectful and respectful ministers sitting on both sides of the kneeling, chuckled, and said: "The Huns did send a letter of war, but
