The Ugly Empress

Xue Houyang was made one head and two big by Xue Pei's little ancestor, he really didn't know how to explain it, especially the little prince was so young, with three thousand beauties in the king's harem, how could he only favor one person, and he was still dead.

Xue Houyang's heart finally brightened, and he hurriedly said: "This question... the prince might as well ask the Taifu, Shen Taifu is very knowledgeable, naturally... naturally he can solve the prince's doubts."

Xue Pei was stuttering when he heard the emperor's uncle, but he didn't question it very much. He really ran to ask the grand tutor...

Teng Yun went back to the banquet and complained about his illness. He said that he was too drunk and left the banquet first. Of course, everyone did not see King Xue, and no one stopped him.

After Teng Yun left the palace, people from the Hou Mansion prepared a carriage outside the palace, and waited for the master to come out, and Teng Yun let out a sigh of relief when he got in the carriage, feeling like he was fleeing.

As soon as he got out of the car, a servant girl ran over and said in a panic: "Master, go and see Mr. Lu, the guards at the door have been knocked out!"

Teng Yun was startled, did he let Lu Shichen run away?He is a frail scholar, how could he escape by injuring a guard by himself, could it be that people from Fengguo came to help him?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked a few steps, he could no longer care about the sticky feeling on his body, and the guards in the small yard passed out, and no one dared to enter the house rashly, and the door was still closed.

Teng Yun walked over and pushed open the door. He heard the sound of someone breathing in his ears. It seemed that Lu Shichen was still there and hadn't run away. He walked around the screen and immediately froze.

The table in the room collapsed, meals and broken dishes were scattered all over the floor, Lu Shichen stood leaning against a corner with disheveled clothes, and there was another person on the bed.

The man's upper body was naked, his lower body was obviously not a little impulsive, his face was flushed with blood, but his hands were tied behind his back, as if he couldn't break free, he was panting absent-mindedly, trying his best to rub the bed under him.

And this embarrassed man is none other than Zhao Tong...

Teng Yun was also thin-skinned, so he immediately turned his face away and didn't look at him, he just said, "Mr. Lu, what's going on!"

Lu Shichen's throat rolled for a long time before he tremblingly said: "I...I...how do I know what's going on..."

Seeing Zhao Tong's relaxed expression and seeing the dagger falling aside, Teng Yun probably knew the cause and effect in his heart, and this kind of indiscriminate method did not seem to be done by Lu Shichen.

Teng Yun called someone to send Zhao Tong back. Lu Shichen heaved a sigh of relief and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, almost falling to the ground.

Of course Zhao Tong was kidnapped by Lu Shichen. If it wasn't because Zhao Tong lost his mind in sadness, Lu Shichen wouldn't be so capable...

After the servants came in, they were all stupid

, but hurriedly carried Zhao Tong away. After staying in the Hou Mansion for so long, he naturally knew what to see and what not to see.

The maid again picked up the smashed things on the ground and rearranged a table. Even though the food was smashed, it was impossible to tell how much he ate. This was Lu Shichen's only comfort.

Teng Yun also said that he hadn't eaten, so he asked the cook to make another table and put it on the table. Lu Shichen seemed to be reborn after a catastrophe, devouring his food, of course, after Teng Yun left, if he was allowed to eat like this in front of Xue Guoren, he would Would rather starve to death.

Teng Yun didn't have the strength to take care of Zhao Tong at this time, so he asked someone to send him back, and specifically asked Zhao Lu not to know that Zhao Tong was a relatively simple person, and he was plotted by others when he was angry and bloody. In case Zhao Lu knew, He will definitely be dealt with according to the military law. Although Zhao Tong deserves to be punished, he will learn a lot of wisdom, but he can't bear to watch Zhao Tong beheaded. After all, he is still a general.

He ordered people to fetch water, and Teng Yun washed off the dirt on his body. The hot water really relieved his fatigue and made him relax slowly. But once he relaxed, his mind would involuntarily think about the things that were hard to talk about just now. ...

Although Teng Yun was thin-skinned, after thinking about it after calming down, he seemed to feel that something was wrong.

Not to mention that Xue Junliang has always been a good drinker, and this time he didn't drink much, let's say that even a drunk King Xue would not be able to do such a thing recklessly and unscrupulously in a small pavilion with air leaks all around.

Xue Junliang was a cautious person, there were many people coming and going at the banquet, there were countless palace people replenishing food and delivering wine, and the small pavilion was not hidden, so people might look at it.

Although no one dared to criticize Xue Junliang face to face, they still couldn't stop everyone behind their backs.

What's more, Xue Junliang didn't really get into him just now, but just called the queen's name, and let him put his legs together to relieve himself. At that time, Xue Junliang was worried about Teng Yun's feelings and relieved him, Imagine how Xue Junliang could call a woman's name to relieve a man?

Thinking of this, Teng Yun suddenly felt that even the warm water couldn't resist his chills, and his body trembled, all of which showed that Xue Junliang was not drunk at all.

And no matter how smart Xue Junliang is, no matter how insightful he is, it is impossible to know who he is, so there is only one possibility left for this approach.

Xue Junliang deliberately let the palace people see that he and Teng Nanhou were in a state of disgrace, and no one dared to criticize King Xue, and everyone knew that King Xue loved the queen deeply, so they could only use Teng Yun as a joke and spread some obscenities.

Teng Yun slapped the water hard, and the water splashed and hit his face, but he only felt it was icy cold. It turned out that Xue Junliang couldn't find a way to move himself, so he started to start from another direction.

Teng Yun covered his eyes and sneered, the emperor

His mind is really bottomless, it's not something people like him can guess.

After the morning court the next day, Xue Junliang intentionally left Teng Yun behind. Teng Yun didn't know what Xue Junliang was paying attention to, but he could only tell himself that this king was unfathomable, and he could fall into a trap if he didn't pay attention.

Xue Junliang prepared the chariot, not knowing where he was going, he said with a smile: "I want to take Teng Qing to a certain place, the journey is not short, why not sit on it too?"

Teng Yun stood on the side with his head hanging down. It was a great honor to be on the same chariot as the king. Teng Yun didn't think that he, a surrender, had such an honor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. It's just that monarchs and ministers have been different since ancient times, and humble ministers dare not break the rules, so as not to cause gossip."

Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Xue Junliang didn't force him, and said with a smile, "You are really cautious."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu ordered people to drive, Teng Yun just followed Yu Jia, and within a few steps, he ran into the little prince. The little prince saw Teng Yun, then looked at Xue Junliang, his face was a little red, and he quickly got up face, and gave Teng Yun a hard look.

Then he took out a handful of small stones from his bosom, threw them towards Teng Yun, turned around and ran away after throwing them, and soon disappeared.

Everyone was stunned. Teng Yun was hit by a stone, and it didn't hurt, but it was a bit inexplicable. Teng Yun can be said to know the little prince Xue Pei better. He is also well-behaved and has everyone's demeanor, only when he loses his temper will he have such a petty temper.

Xue Junliang said "Nonsense!", and then said: "How did the Taifu teach the prince? Jiang Yu, go and tell Shen Yi that the prince will not copy the book a hundred times today, and he is not allowed to leave school."

"Yes……"

Jiang Yu responded, and honestly went to find Shen Yi.

Afterwards, Xue Junliang asked people to drive again, and the group left the palace, not to other places, but to the residence of Lord Zhenzhuang.

The outside of the Hou's Mansion was surrounded by heavy troops, and the guards were all wearing armor with long halberds in their hands. No one around the Hou's Mansion dared to approach, and everyone knew that this was the end of committing a crime.

The people were rushed into the mansion, the surroundings were a bit depressed, almost no one took care of them, the flowers were dead, the weeds were so overgrown that there was almost no place for people to set foot, the lanterns in the corridor were covered with a layer of dust, There are also spider webs on the corners.

The first time Teng Yun saw this mansion, he already understood that now Teng Yun and Xue Yu were considered equal, Xue Junliang must have brought him here because he wanted to shake the mountain and show him the fate of infidelity.

And Marquis Tengnan is not as good as Xue Yu, because his surname is not Xue, and there is an order from Xue's ancestors, all my descendants can't kill each other, otherwise the name can't be listed in the genealogy, so Xue Yu made a big mistake and can still live. If you make a big mistake, you will be sentenced to death immediately.

The Hou Mansion built another row of small houses in the side courtyard. The house had no windows and was sealed on three sides. There was only one door open, and the door was still fastened with a chain.

Xue Junliang ordered someone to unlock the lock, and a guard pushed the door open. Only then did the light shine in, and the room became much brighter.

There was only one person lying on the bed in the corner, except Xue Yu.

Xue Yu was so emaciated that only skin and bones were left, without combing her hair, she lay on her back on the bed, staring at the roof. When the door opened, she was stabbed by the light and closed her eyes abruptly. The light looked over.

Xue Junliang said: "Why does Zhen Zonghou look like this, I ask you to treat him kindly, is this how you serve him?"

When the guards heard that King Xue was angry, they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's not that the last generals don't serve Lord Hou wholeheartedly, it's just...it's just that Lord Hou seems to be a little mentally ill, so he asked the doctor to see , Said that Master Hou was depressed and sick, and his mind was a little out of order, and he often refused to eat a bite of the food he delivered, and smashed it all over the floor."

Teng Yun listened and looked at Xue Yu. The man's eyes were indeed in a trance. Anyone locked in a dark room would be like this. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Xue Yu couldn't die, but it was more sad than death , This is killing Xue Yu's energy, trying to pluck his feathers clean.

What Xue Junliang wanted was Teng Yun's expression, and said: "Teng Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and Gu felt even more sad. After all, he is Gu's own brother, how can Gu bear to see him like this..."

Teng Yun glanced at Xue Junliang, which made Xue Jun's conscience tremble. He always felt that this look seemed to touch him, but Xue Junliang didn't want to admit that this kind of disappointment, despair, and sadness in his eyes made him feel sorry for himself. I have no regrets for what I did.

Xue Junliang felt that he had something to do. If he was a king, he would be able to endure and be ruthless. If Xue Yu didn't make trouble, there was no need for him to treat him like this. Let alone an ordinary person, how could he have the heart to treat others like this? crazy.

When Jiang Yu came in, he saw this scene, and no one dared to take a breath, lest the innocent be hurt.

Jiang Yu took a step forward, lowered his voice, tried his best to appear courteous, and said, "Your Majesty... there is a man outside the mansion who calls himself Lang Jing and asks to see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yu, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have a flicker in his eyes.

Xue Junliang laughed, "Oh, Lang Jing? I heard that Lang Jing is Shen Yi's senior brother. Shen Yi claims that he is not as talented as him."

Jiang Yu said again: "This man who called himself Lang Jing also said that if the king doesn't see him, then he can persuade Lu Shichen to surrender."

Xue Junliang raised his eyebrows, "This is really an irresistible

Those who do not see, invite in. "

Jiang Yu went out quickly, and after a while, came in with another person.

Lang Jing still had a cold face, as if he could see through all kinds of things in the world, and he looked a little out of touch with the fireworks of the world. When he saw Xue Yu on the bed, he just glanced at him, then put his gaze on Xue Junliang, and kowtowed: "The criminal Lang Jing , Kowtow to Your Majesty."

Xue Junliang smiled and said, "Criminal? I don't know what you have committed?"

Lang Jing said: "I don't know if this crime is serious enough to instigate Zhen Zhuang Hou and others to commit crimes."

"big enough."

Xue Junliang nodded, still smiling, "Then it can only be said that you are courageous, and you don't know how to run for your life at a time like this, so what are you doing running back?"

Lang Jing sneered, and said: "The sinner escaped, but His Majesty is better at chess, the sinner had no choice but to come back."

Xue Junliang said: "Gu's younger brother has such a loyal diner like you, Gu also feels happy for him."

"Your Majesty is serious..."

Lang Jing kept speaking calmly, without expression, and then said: "The criminals are willing to go and persuade Lu Shichen first."

"What about your conditions?"

Lang Jing said: "The criminals wish your Majesty to withdraw the soldiers and horses from the Zhenjiang Marquis Mansion without shame."

Xue Junliang laughed out loud, and suddenly turned to Teng Yun and said, "It's your job to persuade him to surrender. Now he wants to compete with you and let Gu withdraw his troops. Teng Qing, do you think it's worth it?"

Teng Yun didn't answer immediately, but paused before saying: "I feel that I am not as talented as Mr. Lang, so I can't fully obey Lu Shichen."

Xue Junliang didn't get angry when he heard this, but just looked at Teng Yun in an extremely ambiguous manner, and said with a smile: "Well...you can't persuade yourself to surrender, you will be punished, but how can Gu have the heart to punish you for these trivial matters, then give Lang Jing one time Opportunity, if we can really persuade Lu Shichen to surrender, Xue Yu will be saved from committing the great crime of rebellion!"

Lang Jing's expression loosened for a moment, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said: "Criminals watch the stars at night, and Lu Shichen is a Wenqu star descending to earth. Don't act rashly when the time comes. Tomorrow, the criminals will go to Tengnanhou on their own. The government persuades you to surrender... The sinners beg to stay today and take care of the Lord."

Xue Junliang waved his hand, as if he didn't take it seriously, "You can stay if you want."

As he spoke, he walked out the door, and just as he was about to cross the threshold, he paused, turned his head and smiled and said, "Lang Jing, Lu Shichen is a Wenqu star descending to earth, so in your opinion, what is Gu?"

Lang Jing paused, as if he was pondering something, and said: "Your Majesty's dragon aura is a sign of Bai Rui. The criminals have seen Chang Geng in the West, and there is nothing better than Your Majesty. Taibai, the master of killing, the world belongs to Your Majesty after all, why rush for a while ?”

These few words penetrated into Xue Junliang's heart, and he couldn't help but glanced at Lang Jing admiringly. Although this man looked ignorant of human fireworks, he knew when to enter and when to retreat, and knew that people were under the eaves. Down, you have to bow your head.

"only……"

Lang Jing paused on purpose, glanced at Teng Yun, then turned to King Xue, and said, "Although Taibai can defeat gods, he is too violent. Violence has always lost the hearts of the people since ancient times... Yu Shun has a virtuous queen E Huang Nvying , and His Majesty's side is deserted, and there is no one to persuade him."

Xue Junliang looked at Lang Jing more and more appreciatively, it seems that this person is really good at reading people's hearts, and followed his words: "Then tell me, who should be by Gu's side?"

Lang Jing lowered his head and said: "As soon as the sinner entered the door, he knew that Marquis Tengnan was destined to be the master of water, and he would surely prosper His Majesty. It's a pity...it's a pity that Marquis Tengnan was born as a man."

What Xue Junliang was waiting for was his words. He really didn't expect that Lang Jing, the person he met for the first time, would see through his just showing a little bit of thought, and Lang Jing knew what he should do.

It is true that Xue Junliang has always wanted to suppress Teng Yun, but he can't find a reason. Any good method will be blocked by Teng Yun. Others thought King Xue was stingy and couldn't tolerate it.

Xue Junliang had a plan in mind. If Marquis Teng Nan was brought into the harem, the concubines in the harem would not be allowed to participate in politics. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to make it out of the sky. He was laying out his own plan these days, but he did not expect that at this time Lang Jing appeared and helped him a lot.

Of course he knew that Lang Jing followed his own words in order to let him stay and take care of Xue Yu, but it was fine, as long as the goal was achieved, Xue Junliang never cared what method he used.

When Teng Yun heard it, he was like a stone for a moment, and was stunned in place. It turned out that Xue Junliang wanted to do this. This is indeed a good way. Then, what King Xue did when he was drunk in the Qianqiu night can be explained immediately.

Teng Yun didn't expect that his son would be stuffed into the backyard just after he left the harem.

Xue Junliang brought Teng Yun back to the palace, this time he asked Teng Yun to go up the chariot with him, but Teng Yun did not refuse, now that the situation was inevitable, how could he refuse.

Xue Junliang was very satisfied with Teng Yun's performance. When he arrived at the palace, he asked Jiang Yu to pass all the ministers into the palace. He took Teng Yun's hand and told everyone Lang Jing said that he planned to choose a good day and auspicious day to marry Teng Nanhou into the palace. .

Xue Houyang didn't regain his senses for a long time. His Majesty has always disapproved of himself and Teng Shang. Why did he have a good relationship with Teng Nanhou in a blink of an eye? Could it be that what he saw that day was not a drunken disorder?

Shen Yi listened, and after a little thought, he understood, and secretly marveled in his heart, this move was not endless.

In order to express his deep affection for Teng Yun, Xue Junliang dismissed the girls who were preparing for the draft in Zhuxiu Palace, gave them money, and asked them to return home.

It didn't take long for King Xue to marry a man. It didn't take long for the news to spread, and the other party turned out to be Marquis Teng Nan. Although there are inevitably a few male favorites in the king's harem, there are still very few such bright matchmakers, and the other party is considered high-ranking Weight, sensation is indispensable.

Teng Yun is usually not very airy, and there are quite a few people who have seen him, especially since he has been in the army for a long time. The scar on his face has impressed many people, although it is not too ugly, at first glance I looked at it but thought it was a tattoo of a crime.

In private, it was rumored that Xue Guo had an ugly empress and a new ugly empress.
