[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House

Huo Qubing hugged Liu Ju up, and said with a smile, "Why did Juer run out alone?"

Liu Judao: "Because I want to play with that big brother."

As he spoke, he pointed at Ying Zheng with his little hand.

Huo Qubing had met Chen Yu before. After all, Huo Qubing was deeply loved by Liu Che, and he often walked around in the palace. Chen Yu picked up Liu Che whenever he had a chance. Naturally, Huo Qubing had seen him before, and he had a bad impression of this man. .

Huo Qubing naturally didn't want Liu Ju to play with Ying Zheng, so he said to Liu Ju, "I'll play with you, okay?"

Liu Ju opened his round eyes wide, and said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. A real man speaks his own words."

He said, carried Liu Ju to the bottom of the steps, nodded to Wei Qing, and Wei Qing also nodded to him, signaling to let him go.

Ying Zheng saw this scene in his eyes, and felt a little bit sure in his heart, this Chen Yu was really unpopular in the palace before, even a fledgling kid looked down on Chen Yu.

Wei Qing just greeted Chen Yu politely, and then went into the hall.

Ying Zheng didn't stay any longer, but for some reason, he glanced in the direction Liu Ju was going, and then quickly walked down the steps and left the palace.

Ying Zheng wanted to go to Tian Fu to find out what he said, but in his current capacity, it seemed that he would get no benefit from going to Tian Fu's word.

He left the palace and ordered his servants to go back to the mansion first, and walked on the street by himself.

Ying Zheng entered a restaurant. The restaurant was not very big, and it didn't look like a place where dignitaries would go, but as soon as Ying Zheng entered, he saw acquaintances at first sight.

There were two people sitting at the table in the corner of the restaurant. They were old acquaintances that Ying Zheng hadn't seen in six years. One was Dongfang Shuo and the other was Zhu Fuyan.

Ying Zheng walked over immediately. When they saw Ying Zheng, they both looked at each other, hesitated, and finally stood up. The master father smiled and said, "Second Young Master Chen."

Dongfang Shuo seemed a little reluctant, but still nodded.

Ying Zheng took the expressions of the two of them into his eyes, and said with a smile: "You two are very elegant."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, the master father Yan invited him to sit down, saying: "Second Master Chen doesn't mind, let's sit down and have a drink together."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, but the master father Yan did not look at him, but smiled and bowed to Ying Zheng, and then asked the shopkeeper to order another pair of bowls and chopsticks and wine glasses.

Ying Zheng waited for the shopkeepers to set up the bowls and chopsticks, and then he stood up and poured wine for Dongfang Shuo and Master Yan, and said with a smile: "I have admired the names of the two adults for a long time, and I have never been able to tell them. I never thought that picking up the sun is worse than bumping into the sun."

The master's father Yan promised him a few words politely, but Dongfang Shuo pretended not to hear it, and just drank the wine.

Yingzheng was about to stand up again, but the father Yan hurriedly stopped him, and got up to pour wine for everyone.

The three of them were just getting out of court, when they suddenly heard that there was some chaos outside, a small wine shop, unexpectedly for many soldiers, a man in an official robe came in surrounded.

Ying Zheng looked up and saw that it was Tian Fu whom he had seen in the East Palace in the morning. Ying Zheng was still thinking about how to find out what Tian Fu was saying, but he didn't even need to look for it, Tian Fu ran over by himself.

Tian Fu walked in, looked around the restaurant, obviously looking for someone, when he saw Ying Zheng, he sneered and walked over.

Dongfang Shuo and the master's father Yan had no choice but to stand up again. After all, Tian Fu was the prime minister, and he was just a doctor. His rank was not a little bit lower than others, so they could only salute respectfully.

Tian Fu seemed very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them. Of course he knew that some people in the court were not convinced by him, but if they were not convinced, they still had to be respectful to him, but he did not expect that Ying Zheng would not stand up.

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't stand up, Master Fuyan and Dongfang Shuo couldn't help sweating for him, but after thinking about it, Chen Yu is not a good guy, and it's rare for two people to fight, so it's just a good show.

Tian Fu said under Gao Ling: "Chen Fu, why don't you see the truth when you see the truth?"

Ying Zheng laughed, held the glass in his hand, stared at the drink, and said, "Master Tian, ​​do you still remember the evidence I showed in the East Palace?"

Tian Fu's complexion changed, and he immediately shouted: "That's a false accusation!"

Ying Zheng said: "Is it a false accusation? When the evidence is sufficient, it will be investigated by the Ting Wei Department. Ji An and Zhang Tang of the Ting Wei Department are loyal to the emperor and never give up. Evidence, if Mr. Tian is innocent, then it will definitely not be black, right? "

Ying Zheng said, stood up, looked at Tian Fu, and said: "There is another matter. Just now, the emperor appointed me as a special envoy to be in charge of this matter. After that, the prime minister may be required to come to the Tingwei Office to cooperate with the investigation. , this can be regarded as a greeting in advance."

Tian Fu's face turned pale, he stared at Ying Zheng, and said, "Don't use chicken feathers as arrows, if you do the right thing, can you still be afraid of your investigation?"

Ying Zheng laughed immediately when he heard him say "the conduct is upright", and said: "My lord, the villain would take the liberty to ask, if the conduct is upright and there are so many land properties, then if it is really corrupt and perverted , how much property should it be?"

"you!"

Tian Fu was so angry that he couldn't speak, Ying Zheng walked past him, stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Master Prime Minister, there is one more thing I don't understand. Wear, what do you want to buy so much land?"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tian Fu to answer, as if he didn't want him to answer at all, he smiled and left immediately.

Tian Fu stood at the same spot, looked at his background, felt chills in his heart, couldn't stand anymore, immediately left the wine shop, got into the car, and ordered his servants to go to the palace again to see the Queen Mother.

The master father Yan and Dongfang Shuo watched the two of them go out one after another, both were puzzled, Dongfang Shuo said, "Why did Chen Yu change his temper?"

The master father nodded and said: "Yes, didn't you still curry favor with Tian Fu a few days ago, and when you turned your head, you became so stalemate?"

He paused, looked at Dongfang Shuo, and said, "No matter what, just looking at Chen Yu's speech just now, if he didn't make a fool of himself, he really caught Tian Fu's handle."

Ying Zheng walked out, looking very calm. In fact, he didn't have too much evidence at all, but he just wanted to find out Tian Fu's tone. Tian Fu is too cautious in doing things. Zheng really has no place to find Tian Fu's handle.

When Yingzheng was managing the river, he did find a large piece of land that was very strange. The owner of the land was not a local. He heard that he was a great person in the capital. After careful investigation, it turned out that it belonged to the empress dowager, but he had been handed over all the year round. Just take care of Tian Fu.

Yingzheng returned to the mansion and asked people to guard the gate of the palace. After Tian Fu heard what he said, he must go to the palace to discuss countermeasures with the Queen Mother. Yingzheng asked his servants to wait for Tian Fu to come out to see what Tian Fu was doing. .

Tian Fu entered the palace and hurriedly looked for the Queen Mother, who said, "Why did you leave and come back?"

Tian Fu said: "Queen Mother, it's terrible, that Chen Fu really found out something, he knows that the field belongs to you!"

The queen mother was startled, and then said: "Why panic, so what if it's mine, who stipulates that being the emperor's mother is not allowed to have a piece of land?"

Tian Fu said: "The key is... the key is that most of these are... all given away. If the emperor knows, it's hard to say. And the emperor has ordered the Ting Wei Department to stand up for investigation. If it is really found out What, where can I put the old face of my prime minister?"

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "People from the Ting Wei Department dare to investigate you? Whoever dares to investigate you, let him come to the East Palace to speak."

Tian Fu said: "Also, also, that Chen Yu, the emperor seems to have appointed him as a special envoy to be in charge of this matter!"

"It's Chen Yu again."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "What's the matter with this Chen Yu? Didn't you say that he was a wine bag and a rice bag before, so it's nothing to be afraid of? You also said that he flattered you every day and wanted you to give him a good official position, yes You disliked their relationship between the Chen family and the Dou family, so you ignored him, why are you getting better now, but being dragged away by others?"

Tian Fu said: "This, this... This younger brother doesn't know either. Could it be that this Chen Fu is just pretending?"

"Also a possibility."

The Queen Mother frowned even more, and said: "Think about it, the Chen family and the Dou family are related by marriage, Chen Yu's mother is Dou Taizhu, and Dou Taizhu's most beloved son is Chen Yu, Chen Yu's uncle and My sister is dead, he must have hated us, and has been thinking of ways to trip you up!"

Tian Fu was a little panicked, and said: "Then what should I do? Sister, give me an idea! Although I am still a prime minister in the court, my power is far from that of before. Now the court has been divided by the emperor. It is clear that I, the prime minister, will soon become a lord who is emptied, and if Chen Yu impeaches me, there will be a large number of people in the court who will follow, and then it will be bad!"

The queen mother took two steps and said: "Don't worry, you are my younger brother. Besides, your father-in-law is the king of Yanshan with the surname Liu, and nothing will happen. Aren't you always cautious in your actions, Chen If you want to impeach you, you have to find evidence, you should act in a low-key and honest way these days, and just don't come out like a moth."

"Right now..." Tian Fu nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it right now."

The Queen Mother sat down, asked Tian Fu to sit down as well, and said: "The emperor is getting more and more powerful now, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. Even your uncle will start to impeach. I can't manage so many things, I don't have the energy anymore, if he wants to do something, let him do it. It's just a little..."

The Queen Mother looked at Tian Fu and said, "Liu Ju is Chen Ajiao's son. If the emperor makes Liu Ju the crown prince, I will definitely not agree."

Tian Fu hesitated, and said: "I'm afraid...the emperor is determined on this matter."

The queen mother pondered for a while, then patted the table and said, "Wei Zifu is now a queen, and his wings are starting to harden. He won't come to the East Palace to pay my respects in less than five days, and he has started to shirk things for her. I don't even think about it, if I wasn't the empress dowager back then, how could she, a maidservant, become the empress! Now it's better, not only does it not live up to expectations, there are only two daughters, and they failed to give birth to a son for the emperor, and they leave themselves everywhere Get clean."

Tian Fu leaned over and sat down, and said: "Sister, I didn't say that this Empress Wei might want to get rid of you. Think about it, Empress Wei gave birth to two daughters for the emperor when she was favored. Everyone can see that the emperor's kindness to her is diminishing day by day, and she has not had a son so far. If she wants to secure the position of queen, shouldn't she hug Liu Ju tightly? She can't wait to treat Liu Ju as her own son How about raising, anyway, Liu Ju was not sensible when the empress died, so why should she not get close to Empress Wei?"

The Queen Mother sneered, and said: "She thinks well, and all good things are her Wei Zifu's? In my opinion, the emperor's favor to her is not to promote Wei Qing and let Wei Qing get rid of his status as a riding slave."

Tian Fu said: "Who says it's not? The emperor has grown up and has a serious mind. In the past few years, he has become more and more one-sided, and he has started to seize my power again. Sister, you have to save me, otherwise I'm afraid I will be the second!" It's a dou baby!"

"What nonsense!" said the Queen Mother, "Our family will not be like the Dou family."

The Queen Mother calmed down for a while, and said: "Go ahead, remember not to be too ostentatious these days, it will be fine after a while, you are the Emperor's uncle, and besides, I am still doing well now, can the Emperor really handle you?"

Tian Fu felt the same thing. The reason why the Dou family was over was because the Empress Dowager was gone. If the Empress Dowager kept her breath, no one would dare to bully the Dou family. The reason was the same, as long as the Queen Mother was around Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Che to really do Tian Fu. After all, the Han people value filial piety more than life. A person who cannot abide by filial piety is just an opportunity for the princes and kings who are treasonable. How about sitting on the dragon chair of the Ninth Five-Year Lord?

The world is so big that a bowl of water needs to be leveled. Liu Che is also a human being. He struggled in the court for six years and initially established a complete set of internal courts. Liu Che felt that these six years almost seemed to have passed 16 years, or even 60 years. It was as difficult as the year, and he had no real courtiers to talk to. Although Wei Qing was loyal, he didn't have much talent for the court, and he couldn't help Liu Che.

Liu Che wants to fight the Xiongnu, but also fights against his relatives, and has the ambition to appease and suppress the princes and kings, even in the Yeting in the harem, whoever he favors must have a plan and steps.

Chu Fu came to replace the class at night, and when he walked into the main hall, he saw Liu Che fell asleep beside the table with a bamboo slip in his hand and his head propped on one hand.

Chu Fu walked over and said softly, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please wake up and sleep on the couch."

When Liu Che was called by Chu Fu, he was not asleep, and woke up immediately. Looking at Chu Fu, he squinted his eyes and said, "I thought it was Gillian."

Chu Fu's eyes were sore, he quickly lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, let's rest, we have to go to court tomorrow."

Liu Che sat up, put the bamboo slips on the table, and said, "I still have a few memorials that I haven't corrected yet."

Chu Fu had no choice but to stand aside, stood for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, people from Jiaofang Palace came over this afternoon, and they said that it is the empress's birthday in a few days. Busy, I haven't found time to ask the emperor to show me, the Jiaofang Palace is still waiting for the servant to reply."

Liu Che's hand holding the brush paused for a moment, and a heavy ink dot fell on the bamboo slip. Liu Che put down the pen, and then pushed the bamboo slip forward.

When Chu Fu saw it, he quickly knelt down, scraped off the ink with a small knife, and then respectfully placed it in front of Liu Che.

Liu Che rubbed his forehead, sighed and said, "Chu Fu, do you know that there is going to be another war, the Huns looted three of my border cities, the casualties are uncountable, and the border towns are bleeding like rivers... I want to fight back, I want to beat them to death Dare to come again!"

Chu Fu didn't speak, Liu Che paused and said: "This battle must be handed over to Wei Qing..."

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "You go to the Jiaofang Hall tomorrow to answer the call, I will attend, make it more grand, and..."

Liu Che turned to Chu Fu and said, "Tell the queen, I will let all the princes and kings come to the capital to celebrate her birthday."

"……promise."

Chu Fu responded. She had been following Yingzheng before. Although she was a woman, she didn't understand a lot of what Yingzheng said, but she also remembered that Yingzheng said that when using troops, one should pay attention to the movements of the princes, so as not to let the princes Wang took advantage of the emptiness in the country to act.

The emperor let the princes and kings enter the palace to celebrate their birthdays, no doubt he wanted to keep them in the palace, under his own nose, so that he could gather his troops to fight the Huns.

The people sent by Yingzheng reported that Tian Fu hadn't moved much these days, but was very low-key, but it seemed that the Prime Minister was not in a good mood, and he seemed to beat and scold the diners when things went wrong.

When Ying Zheng heard the news, he laughed immediately. You must know that the doorman is a double-edged sword. The doorman himself comes here for fame. Whoever is famous, who has money, who can give them food and ambition If there is a place, you can help someone to do things, and you can help someone with advice, but at the same time, if there is no profit, if the price given by others is more reasonable, how can other people make him more free to display his ambitions? The doorman knows There are quite a few, and there are not a few who turned against with the news.

Yingzheng asked his servants to visit this retainer and bought him with a lot of money. In addition to the evidence against Tian Fu left by Dou Ying, it was enough for Tian Fu to play for a while.

Among these evidences, there is naturally no lack of the Queen Mother, but Ying Zheng is very smart. He knows that Liu Che can't do anything to the Queen Mother. Let alone the Queen Mother who helped him ascend the throne. some.Furthermore, the empress dowager is always the empress dowager. If Liu Che dared to move his mother, the princes and kings from all over the world would definitely raise troops in this name.

Since ancient times, it is necessary to have a name when raising troops. As long as you have this name and the name is justified, you will have the hearts of the army and the people.

No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for Liu Che to give them an opportunity, and it is impossible for Liu Che to become the empress dowager.

But if Tian Fu is tripped, the power of the Queen Mother is nothing to be afraid of.

After the early court, Ying Zheng asked to meet Liu Che. When Liu Che heard that it was Chen Yu who had come, he wondered in his heart, could it be that he had developed so quickly?

Liu Che asked Li Yannian to bring Yingzheng to Xuanshi Pavilion for an interview.

Ying Zheng walked in and had to salute Liu Che. Liu Che asked him to get up and said with a smile, "You must have brought good news to me."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Is it good news for the emperor to trip up his uncle or even his mother?"

Liu Che was teased by him, and the smile froze on his face. He stood up, walked down the steps, and walked in front of Ying Zheng step by step.

Liu Che's figure was tall and tall. Although Chen Yu's body was not as delicate and gentle as Dong Yan's back then, exuding a masculine air, but standing with Liu Che, he was still a head shorter.

Standing in front of him, Liu Che lowered his head slightly to look at Ying Zheng. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't feel any joy, and gave people some inexplicable chills.

Liu Che said: "Chen Yu, do you know that you are the first one who dares to speak to the emperor like this."

Ying Zheng said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your ridiculous praise."

Liu Che turned around, sat down, and said, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

Liu Che took out the confession of Tian Fu's disciples, and Li Yannian took the confession and presented it to Liu Che for review.

Liu Che glanced at it, and immediately laughed. Li Yannian always felt a little scared when he saw Liu Che's smile. It stands to reason that the emperor should be angry when he saw the evidence of the prime minister's corruption, but he didn't expect to laugh like this.

Liu Che slapped the bamboo slips on the table and said: "What a Tian Fu, I never thought that a prime minister's family property is more powerful than the national treasury. He knows that I have often fought wars in recent years and the national treasury is empty. Now, if you want to donate money."

Liu Che thought for a while, then looked up at Ying Zheng and said, "But I can't catch him."

As he spoke, he stood up again, walked to the side of Ying Zheng, and said, "I once promised you that as long as you can trip Tian Fu, I will give you the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, but now the problem comes... all the evidence is With the participation of the Empress Dowager, if I investigate Tian Fu, the Empress Dowager will definitely be implicated, and I will not be able to catch Tian Fu."

Ying Zheng sneered, and said, "It just depends on whether the emperor wants Tian Fu to live or die."

Liu Che turned his back and paused for a while without speaking. He seemed to be thinking. With his hands behind his back, he said, "It's not that I want Tian Fu to live, or I want Tian Fu to die, but my own uncle who forces me to investigate him."

Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng was not an idiot. He couldn't be more clear that emperors were cold-hearted. After thinking about it for a while, Liu Che decided to kill this uncle.

Ying Zheng said: "My humble minister has a good idea."

Liu Che simply turned around and sat on the steps, patted the side, and said, "You come to sit too."

Ying Zheng stepped forward and sat down, and said: "The emperor can't directly manage Tian Fu, but he doesn't want to make Tian Fu feel better. Isn't it simple? Tian Fu has an old man, Liu Dingguo, the king of Yanshan. Or the empress dowager personally ordered the marriage."

"The King of Yanshan..."

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, cutting down the vassal is a long-term plan, why not start slowly now? Send someone to investigate the Yanshan King Liu Dingguo, first to sound the alarm for Tian Fu, and second, to scare the princes Wang, the long-term appeasement strategy has no effect on the princes and kings, and they must be frightened to make the princes stable for a period of time."

Liu Che said: "It's indeed a good idea, but Liu Dingguo is my uncle and a member of the Liu family."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help sneering, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say polite words in front of humble ministers, and it will save some time."

Liu Che glanced at him sideways, stood up, and said, "Perhaps in your hearts, I am cold-blooded and ruthless, but you don't know, I..."

When he said this, he suddenly felt that his head was a little dazed. Why did he say such things in his heart to someone like Chen Yu?He stopped talking immediately, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you can continue with this matter, go."

Ying Zheng said, "My minister has one more request."

"go on."

"I want the emperor to lend me the master's father Yan for my use."

Liu Che was a little interested in his words, and said with a smile: "Master Yan? Are you going to use Master Yan to catch King Yanshan's pigtail?"

Ying Zheng said: "My humble minister thinks that only the Lord Father Yan can handle this matter beautifully."

Liu Che nodded and said, "Yes." Then he glanced at Li Yannian, and said, "Decree, Master Father Yan will assign to Chen Yu."

"promise."

Just as Ying Zheng was about to go out, Liu Che suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute."

Ying Zheng stopped and turned to look at Liu Che.

Liu Che said: "I just remembered, in a few days' time, it will be the Queen's birthday, so don't use troops."

When Ying Zheng heard the words "the queen's birthday", his eyes sank, and he said, "I didn't expect the emperor to cherish the empress so much."

Liu Che didn't answer his words, but he had other considerations in his mind. Right now, Liu Che was secretly summoning several generals to discuss the matter of attacking the Huns. This time the troops were dispatched on a large scale. Birthday, pass the princes to the capital to control them.

If Liu Dingguo, the king of Yanshan, is governed everywhere at this juncture, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the princes and kings. If the princes and kings are called to the palace at that time, wouldn't it be dangerous.

As soon as Yingzheng thought about it, he knew that Liu Che must have other concerns. Liu Che could not kill his uncle for the sake of his mother, because this was filial piety, but it was impossible to delay his political views just to spoil a concubine, because Liu Che is not so affectionate yet.

Liu Che didn't want to tell Ying Zheng about the military issues. After all, in Liu Che's eyes, Chen Yu was a villain, even if he was capable, he was still a villain after all. Not long after his sister passed away, he couldn't wait to recommend himself.

No matter how Liu Che cultivated the city, he always hated a villain like Chen Yu.

Naturally, Liu Che didn't know that Chen Yu had changed his clothes, and the person who was holding Chen Yu's clothes now was his sister Gillian, so he still had opinions on Chen Yu, so how could he tell him such a big thing as fighting against the Huns.

Liu Che just said: "The queen's birthday banquet, now that the princes and kings have come to Beijing by order, you can go to investigate the king of Yanshan now, but all actions are kept secret, and you can't let go of the wind. After the birthday banquet, those who should be arrested and tried. "

When Yingzheng came out of Xuanshi Pavilion, he happened to see Huo Qubing walk up to Xuanshi Pavilion with his sword in his hand, untied his sword and put it on the sword holder in front of the door.

Huo Qubing was handsome and handsome, although he was still young, there was a strong military atmosphere hidden in him.

Huo Qubing also saw Ying Zheng, just glanced at it, and stopped in front of the door to wait for the transmission.

Ying Zheng looked at Huo Qubing and frowned. He always felt that this person was very familiar to him, but he couldn't tell where the familiarity was.

Ying Zheng walked down the steps, Wei Qing just came up from the bottom of the steps, also unloaded the sword and put it on the sword holder, waiting for the pass.

When Huo Qubing saw Wei Qing, he said, "Uncle, did the Emperor also call you here?"

Wei Qing nodded, but glanced at Ying Zheng. When Huo Qubing saw Wei Qing's eyes, he immediately understood that the emperor's summoning was a secret call, so he didn't say any more.

Ying Zheng saw the small actions of the two of them, and Huo Ran became cheerful, and finally understood why Liu Che had to arrest him after Queen Wei's birthday banquet just now.

Liu Che secretly summoned Wei Qing, what else could it be for, isn't it just beating the Huns?

Liu Che was going to start a large-scale attack on the Huns, so he was not allowed to touch the king surnamed Liu at this time, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with the king surnamed Liu and causing disaster.

Yingzheng also understood why such a large-scale birthday banquet was held for Wei Zifu. The emperor was not an affectionate emperor, but just wanted to take advantage of his woman's birthday to confine his uncles and relatives Just get up.

Ying Zheng shook his head and went to the palace gate. He didn't know how much Liu Che had changed. It was only a blink of an eye, and he seemed to have calmed down too much. In Ying Zheng's eyes, the young emperor, who was not worth mentioning, suddenly became a formidable enemy.

Wei Zifu was very happy when he heard that the emperor was going to hold a birthday banquet for him, but he calmed down soon.

Wei Zifu is not a person who can be dazzled by the emperor's favor. In this palace, the emperor does not have a sincere favor. Whoever he favors today must have his own reasons.

It's not that Wei Zifu doesn't know that half of the reason why the emperor treats him so well is to promote Wei Qing, and the other half of the reason is... Liu Shi.

Liu Ju ran in from the outside, and Wei Zifu picked him up and said with a smile, "Has Juer been naughty? Go and study."

Liu Ju pouted, and Wei Zifu smiled and said, "Ji'er, you are about to reach the age of going to school, you can't always be naughty, you know, only if you study hard, your father will send you Only a good teacher can make a difference in the future, you know?"

Although Liu Ju didn't want to go to study, he nodded obediently and was taken away by the maid to study.

Wei Zifu just sighed, Liu Ju is not his son at all, but she treats Liu Ju better than her own daughter, for what reason, naturally, it is to please the emperor, to preserve her position, to leave a place for herself. a back road.

The reason why the emperor made Wei Zifu the queen is that in Liu Che's eyes, Wei Zifu is more understanding and gentle than others, and can be a good mother, so Wei Zifu naturally wants to be a good mother.

Wei Zifu knew that Wei Qing had come to the palace, so he asked him to come to the Jiaofang Palace after finishing his work.

Wei Qing came late, and Huo Qubing also came with him. Wei Zifu asked Huo Qubing to play with Liu Ju, and pulled Weiqing into the inner room to talk.

Wei Zifu said: "The emperor asked you to come into the palace and talked for so long, did you say anything?"

Wei Qing said: "Sister, you came to me for this matter? The emperor called a secret meeting, how many brains do I dare to tell you?"

Wei Zifu said: "I don't want to hear the meeting of you guys. I just want to hear the emperor's activities these days. The emperor comes to me less and less. Doesn't Li Yannian have a younger sister? Li Yannian is in the emperor's office. I've been around for so long, and I've always wanted to give my sister to the emperor, and that woman seems to be somewhat similar to the former abandoned empress Gillian, Wei Qing, you can ask for my sister."

Wei Qing immediately rubbed his forehead, and said, "Sister, whoever dares to inquire about these matters of the emperor, you can live in the Jiaofang Palace. I heard that the emperor thinks that the book is too bookish, so give him time Find a teacher and teach him swordsmanship."

Wei Zifu didn't speak for a while, Wei Qing said: "What's wrong?"

Wei Zifu said: "I think it's better to find a few teachers for Qu Bing than to find a swordsmanship teacher for Ju'er."

"Why is this?"

Wei Zifu looked up at Wei Qing, and said, "Why are you so stupid, because Qu Bing is from our family, so Liu Ju..."

Before she finished speaking, Wei Qing immediately stood up, interrupted Wei Zifu, and said: "How can you say such a thing! Sister, I think you are confused, you should take a good rest, I will take it to you first." Sick back."

Wei Qing's face was a little gloomy, and he walked to the outer room, stood still before going out, and said, "Sister, Juer is a good boy."

Wei Qing went out and called Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing saw that his expression was not right, so he didn't laugh as usual, and followed him honestly.

Yingzheng and Zhufuyan went to Yan Kingdom and came back soon. Zhufuyan is a formidable character, not only eloquent, but also has a strong ability to collect evidence. Yingzheng did not misunderstand the person. For a long time, when the princes and kings entered the capital, they had already returned to the capital.

Liu Che sent the two of them into the palace to answer the conversation. This time, they were not in the Xuanshi Pavilion, but on the corridor of the garden.

Liu Che was sitting on the railing of the corridor, with his head raised slightly leaning against the pillar, and was throwing things into the pond to feed the fish, seeming very leisurely.

Ying Zheng and Zhu Fuyan walked over and saluted, Liu Che said: "Get up, is there any result?"

Ying Zheng said: "King Yanshan's crimes are countless, it depends on how the emperor wants him to die."

After hearing this, Liu Che turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "I... haven't seen you for more than half a month, and you are still so choked up when you come here."

The master father Yan was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he winked at Yingzheng and asked Yingzheng to make amends.

It's just that Liu Che said, "To be honest, it's strangely deserted in the palace for half a month, and I miss you quite a bit."

After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned back and continued to feed the fish. People often say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Seven parts of the emperor's words are false and three parts are artificial. The only thing that is certain is that none of them are true.

So Liu Che's words, let alone Ying Zheng didn't believe it, even the master father Yan didn't take it seriously.

Liu Che spilled all the things in his hand into the pond, clapped his hands, stood up, stood facing the lake, and said, "Let's talk about the crimes committed by Yanshan King Liu Dingguo."

The master father Yan glanced at Yingzheng, although he was not relentless when investigating the case, but when he replied, he really didn't know where to start, so that the emperor would not be angry.

It was Yingzheng who spoke up and said, "Liu Dingguo, the king of Yanshan, is corrupt and perverts the law. It doesn't matter if a few lives are tied to the princes and kings, but this Liu Dingguo forced people to incest and forced his mother and daughter to sleep. He is the old father-in-law of the prime minister, and Tian Fu is powerful in the court, no one dares to impeach Liu Dingguo."

Liu Che glanced back at Ying Zheng abruptly, frowned, and finally said: "King Yanshan..."

Liu Che was not as furious as Master Yan imagined, and his reaction was quite calm. He stood facing the lake again, and said calmly, "How should the king of Yanshan deal with it according to the law."

Ying Zheng's tone was not turbulent, and he said, "Death."

Liu Che nodded and said: "Do you still remember what I said to you more than half a month ago? The queen's birthday is coming soon. I don't want to see blood. Everything must be peaceful. Don't disturb anyone about this matter. Wait for the birthday." As soon as it is over, I will detain the king of Yanshan Liu Dingguo and hand it over to the Ting Wei Department."

"promise."

Yingzheng and the father-in-law agreed.

After Liu Che finished speaking, he looked forward. There was a small pavilion on the opposite side. Several women were playing kites and dancing in the small pavilion. They seemed to be the maids of the Yuefu, preparing for the empress's birthday banquet in a few days.

Across the lake, the melodious singing and laughter of the women can be heard.The person surrounded in the center dancing gracefully is Li Yannian's younger sister, Li Yan.

Li Yan was only 14 years old back then, still very young, now six years later, she is almost 20 years old, Li Yannian is getting more and more worried, if her younger sister Li Yan can't get the emperor's favor again, time will wait for no one, just wait After Li Yan's demeanor faded, there was no chance.

But Li Yannian is not reconciled, he has been serving the emperor all the time, so he naturally knows the emperor's concern for Empress Chen, and his sister's profile is so similar to Empress Chen, what a chance this is, if he can't seize it, Li Yannian thinks it is Not reconciled.

So when Li Yannian heard that the emperor was going to summon Ying Zheng and Zhu Fuyan in the corridor, he specially asked his younger sister to practice singing and dancing on the opposite side of the corridor.

Li Yan has faded from her childishness and youthfulness. Back then, she was only somewhat similar to Empress Chen, but now, Li Yan has become more beautiful and charming. She has long known that this is arranged by her brother herself, so she naturally has to work harder. To make the emperor fall in love with himself.

Perhaps because of the distance, Liu Che couldn't see clearly. At first glance, his whole body was shocked, and he thought that the person who was surrounded by court ladies dancing in the small pavilion opposite was really Chen Ajiao who hadn't seen each other for six years...

Ying Zheng saw that Liu Che was looking at the background of the opposite person, and he also raised his eyes, and recognized at a glance that the other person was Li Yan.

Liu Che stood on the corridor, his eyes fixed on the dancing girl opposite, but he didn't know that he was thinking about
