Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

After Liu Che's figure walked out of Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager coughed lightly, and all the palace servants in the palace filed out under the leadership of Nanny Li.After a while, only the Empress Dowager and Han Yan were left in the empty hall—there were two other birds.

Han Yan had some understanding in her heart, but she didn't want to speak first.I just had to wait silently.

After a while, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, staring at Han Yan's direction with her dark and lifeless eyes, and asked casually: "Ayan, do you think my current attitude towards the Xiongnu is inherited from Han Yan? The old ancestor's kinship strategy is still as the emperor thought..."

The empress dowager spoke calmly, while teasing the bird in the cage leisurely.Han Yan knew that this was just an appearance, if she really didn't care, she wouldn't have asked this question at all.Immediately sorting out his thoughts, he opened his mouth and replied: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Han Yan heard that in the homes of ordinary people, the men not only work hard to support the family, but also take care of the safety of the women and the elderly. If someone speaks out to tease or If you want to take it by force, you will fight it with a knife and ax without thinking about your own body. But since the great ancestor, I am a big man, and countless beautiful women in their prime have had to force themselves to serve wolves and tigers for the sake of the peace of the big man. It is a disgrace to all my men and women. Men from common people know how to protect women and children, but my lord king has to compromise with his evil neighbors and give them my pampered and precious clan women in exchange for a short time Peace. Don't use swords lightly, this is His Majesty's sympathy for the people of the Han Dynasty. However, the Lord humiliated his ministers to death, and many soldiers of our Han Dynasty can't even protect the emperor's children. How can we talk about serving the country. "

"Han Yan secretly thought that true peace is based on absolute strength. This so-called peace bought with a woman's body is nothing more than lingering. It's like the pig sheep raised in ordinary people's homes. If you want to achieve real peace, you must beat them painfully and be afraid. Knowing that you have to pay a huge price for being an enemy of my big man, this is the right way. As for getting married, it is not impossible, But I want them to send their sons here to marry my big man’s princess. At that time, the vast grassland will be my big man’s horse ranch. In the spring of March, when everything recovers, you can go hunting there, wouldn’t it? Beautiful?"

Empress Dowager Dou couldn't stand the joy when she heard Han Yan's arrogant words, she smiled and shook her head and said, "Your ambition is good, and the Ai family also wants to see that day. But now my military strength is not as strong as that of the Huns. Strong, if you use your sword lightly, there may be disasters!"

The calamity she is talking about here is that one is afraid that the defeat will anger the Xiongnu, which will make it worse, and the other is that the princes and states are about to move.Han Yan has been studying in the palace since she was four years old, and grew up almost under the eyes of the Empress Dowager, and later even recognized her grandson.Although the ultimate goal is to win over trusted veterans such as Han Tiaodang, the old man loves Yao'er. After getting along for so many years, the Empress Dowager has long regarded Han Yan as her younger generation.And because of his status, he wasn't as cautious as the one talking to Liu Che.So a few words are very clear.

When Han Yan heard what the Empress Dowager said, she couldn't help but feel moved.After getting along for so many years, Han Yan still has a little understanding of the empress dowager's temperament.This old lady usually doesn't talk much, but she understands it in her heart.Except for being a little confused about King Liang's affairs, the methods he has used over the years have been shrewd and tight.Now that the Empress Dowager is willing to speak to me about swordsmanship, I know that the Empress Dowager must have a plan in her heart.

Immediately sorted out his thoughts, and said again: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Han Yan heard that in the homes of ordinary people, some down-and-out men who have nothing to do have developed a problem with alcoholism. After a long time, they have become addicted. One day Not drinking is like death. Drinking non-stop every day, even the bones of the body are hollowed out..."

"What do you mean by that?" Empress Dowager Dou's smile deepened slightly, but she asked suspiciously on her face.

"The land of the Xiongnu is suffering and difficult, and it is even more difficult when the sky is covered with heavy snow. Therefore, the Huns have a preference for drinking. I heard that they also call the person who drinks the most as a warrior. They think that only men who can drink are A real man. Han Yan's subordinates have recently brewed a kind of strong wine, which is very pleasing to the Huns. If you sell the strong wine to them as a wealthy businessman in exchange for war horses, it can also weaken their power. Combat power." Speaking of this, Han Yan, who had a dry mouth, glanced at the tea soup in front of the desk, and swallowed.

"It's a method, but... most of the Huns are very strong, so just drinking, how useful is it?" Queen Mother Dou thought for a long time, and said slowly.

"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. As long as we work hard, we'll see the results later." Han Yan said with a smile. "What's more, can we get horses in exchange? At that time, let the people on the caravan side kidnap a few Huns who are good at raising horses. They will be secretly brought back to my Han territory, and then they will be out of control."

"A few days ago, I heard from Guantao that your Hanzhuang restaurant has launched a new wine, which is quite popular with Zhou Yafu and his gang of rough people. I think you have a charter in your heart!" The Empress Dowager said slowly: "As for Lie Whether the wine can make the Huns go down, the old man can give you an idea."

"Ah?" Han Yan blinked her eyes and leaned forward with a smile. "I also ask the Empress Dowager to make it clear."

The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, and said hesitantly: "Although the purpose of dealing with the Huns is for the long-term peace and stability of our big man, it's just that this method is a bit shady, but it must not be leaked out at all."

Han Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Empress Dowager, are you trying to poison me?"

"Nonsense! Do you think that there are no people of insight in the Xiongnu? They even poisoned, no matter what kind of poison it is, they will probably recognize it." The Empress Dowager said casually. "So speaking of these, you are still a little tender."

"Hee hee!" Han Yan deliberately laughed twice. "Even if Ah Yan is a monkey grandson who can change 72 times, you are still the immeasurable celestial being on the sky. No matter what, Ah Yan can't climb the Empress Dowager's Five Fingers Mountain!"

"Okay, stop complimenting me!" The Empress Dowager said sullenly.The smile in the corner of his eyes grew deeper. "You don't have to worry about it, just let me stop for a while."

"Life lies in tossing! If you don't toss about the great youth, you will regret it when you grow old." Han Yan responded indifferently, but asked curiously: "What did the Empress Dowager say before?"

"I knew this method when I was young in Daiguo." The Empress Dowager heard the words, sighed softly, and said solemnly: "Ayan, do you know that there is a kind of flower whose whole plant is pink and green, with long oval leaves and hugging flowers?" It grows on stems; it blooms in summer, with solitary branches, large and showy, red, purple, and white, and opens upward. The flowers fall early, and they form spherical capsules with small and many seeds inside. This kind of flower is called poppy, and excessive eating can Addictive. After taking it for a long time, it will make people very weak and even die."

As the empress dowager's slow and old words gradually deepened, Han Yan suddenly felt a creeping fear.He subconsciously called out: "The Empress Dowager..."

"This kind of flower is rare among us big men, and even fewer people know about it. I only know a little bit about it by chance, and I happened to get the cultivation method of this kind of flower." The empress dowager said, taking out a brocade handkerchief from her bosom, Carefully hand it to Han Yan. "Don't you have a lot of greenhouses? It won't be too much trouble to grow these things. As for how to keep the information secret, I don't need to tell you. You have always been a cautious person."

Han Yan felt that the arm that took Fang Jinpa was a little trembling, and she forced a few deep breaths to calm down a little.Only then did Han Yan ask: "Empress Dowager, why..."

"Originally, I was thinking about it. I thought that the things on the battlefield must be about weapons. And the weapons have always been dominated by men. Now that I think about this, I was inspired by you, Ah Yan!" Mrs. When the empress dowager said this, she glanced at Han Yan appreciatively. "The way of the world, all paths lead to the same goal. As long as the purpose is the same, it doesn't matter what the means are. You have your way, he has his way. Naturally, the old body also has the strengths of the old body. I didn't expect that after so many years, the old body's idea and means can still be used." Useful."

Han Yan's heart grew colder and colder. "But the Empress Dowager, will they find out if you put medicine in the wine?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Few people know about the poppies. There are only a few people, except Li Madam who is next to Ai's family, and the rest are already..." The Empress Dowager swallowed The second half of the sentence. "Let's not say it's the Huns, even in the Han Palace, few people recognize this thing. Among the Huns who are knowledgeable, it's just a dog slave, but his status was a bit lower back then. These anecdotes He definitely doesn't know. Otherwise, the Ai family wouldn't just drive him to the Xiongnu to get married."

The empress dowager spoke leisurely, but the bloody air in these few words inadvertently rushed towards her face, making Han Yan even more uncomfortable.

"Your heart is too soft. There are some things that you know have tricks, but you don't bother to do them. Such a temperament will inevitably suffer in a sinister place like the harem. Fortunately, I still have the energy to take care of you. Your Majesty treats you It’s good to be full of eyes and full of heart. But if you want to survive in this unpredictable place, you must adapt to these. It’s not beautiful if it’s too procrastinating. You must know what it means to have long nights and many dreams.” The Empress Dowager said meaningfully.Han Yan was completely dumbfounded.

"With your temperament, on the surface, it seems that you will not suffer at all. But in private, you are the most kind and weak. Those who offend you, those who plot against you are not living in a chic and comfortable way. With your temperament, even if you have Thousands of means, after all, are too gentle, who can really be afraid of scruples? It stands to reason that you should stay away from the harem, stay away from this kind of unscrupulous strife. But you have to get involved with Che'er. It stands to reason that the old man is an elder , you should not meddle in the affairs of the two of you. But if you continue to be so indecisive, I am afraid that a small harem concubine can easily destroy you." The Empress Dowager said, her tone became more and more sinister. "So, I can't pamper you anymore. If you pamper you any longer, you will be harmed. You must do this yourself."

"Empress Dowager!" Han Yan felt like she was dripping with cold sweat, her mind went blank, and she couldn't say anything.

"Now it's just for you to deal with some outsiders who have a clear hostile position. You are so indecisive. One day in the future, you will be gone. If you really want to face Wang Zhi, that cunning woman, what are you?" The empress dowager was dissatisfied cold snort. "Since you have decided to get involved, put away those useless sympathies of yours from today on. Being kind to the enemy is against yourself. Since it is a matter of life and death, don't think so much. Do what you should do with all your heart That’s it. In fact, life in the palace is not that difficult. Haven’t you lived a very nourishing life for so many years? As long as you follow the right people and stand on the right side, someone will protect you, so you don’t have to be afraid .”

"..." Han Yan breathed heavily, feeling numb all over.Beads of sweat dripped down the outline of the jaw to the ground and shattered instantly.

"Look at you being so frightened, you're useless." The Empress Dowager frowned, "People around Weiyang Palace are the most sensitive people. Anyone who is not blind inside and outside the palace can see that your Majesty cares about you." .No one said it now, it's just because you haven't blocked the way of others, and blocked their eyes."

Listening to the Empress Dowager's words, Han Yan suddenly felt that her heart was clenched tightly and she couldn't breathe.

"But even if someone doesn't like you, if you want to do something, it depends on whether you are happy or not, right?" The Empress Dowager said casually.Looking at Han Yan with a relaxed expression, he said slowly: "Throughout the ages, no emperor will willingly 'obey' every suggestion from his courtiers, let alone any emperor who only puts his eyes on one courtier. If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your dignity. I have already warned His Majesty, and now—it's your turn!"

The empress dowager's eyes seemed to suddenly burst into light, and she stared at Han Yan solemnly and said.

The neatly manicured nails sank into the palm, and the scarlet blood spread along the white palm to the bluestone board, leaving a shocking trace.

"Dou Minglan, Dou Ying's little granddaughter, is 14 years old this year, and she will reach Jiji after the new year. I have met your grandfather Han Tuidang, and I have already discussed it. After Minglan and Ji, choose an auspicious day, you can go to their house to hire !” The Empress Dowager said slowly.Looking at Han Yan, she looked at her in disbelief.Sigh softly. "My old body is also for your own good."

If it wasn't for Gillian being too useless to win Liu Che's heart, if it wasn't for the support of Han Yan, Liu Che had already stood firm, if it wasn't for Liu Che's heart on Han Yan, if If it wasn't for Han Yan who had been by her side for more than ten years, if she wasn't really anxious to find a safe way out for the Chen family and the Dou family...

The Empress Dowager stared at Han Yan who was kneeling in panic and pale in front of her without a trace. I am afraid that this elf person will not live for a few years!

"Okay, look at how scared you are." Feeling the smell of fear in the air, the Empress Dowager slowly got up and hugged Han Yan into her arms.Thin palms slowly rubbed Han Yan's beautifully shaped back, and said soothingly: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, masculinity has prevailed. With so many emperors in the Han Dynasty, which one doesn't have some favored courtiers? I just want you to be more careful not to be caught by others." It’s all for calculations. It’s not the other one. I’m your god-grandmother, what are you so afraid of me for?”

It is you who are afraid.Han Yan thought subconsciously.When the Empress Dowager said it so unexpectedly, I was a little dazed.He naturally knew Liu Che's increasingly obvious thoughts, and even knew the vague feelings in his heart.It's just that everything is still like an undercurrent under the pond, without any manifestation.As far as the mind is concerned, there is no condemnation.But who is the empress dowager? She dominated the acting palace back then, and now supports the emperors of the three dynasties.This person's scheming is by no means something that a dude who has never experienced family strife and only read a little history books can handle.Even if the person who said this was Wang Zhi, he would not be so panicked.The empress dowager... can only say that she was too defenseless.

Sure enough, the people in the palace are not so fuel-efficient, is he still too naive?Thinking of this, Han Yan smiled wryly in her heart.

Feeling that Han Yan's disordered mind gradually calmed down.The Empress Dowager nodded, feeling more and more satisfied.His sudden words hit Han Yan unprepared.But with a few words, the child can calm down, which is not bad.

Involuntarily let go of Han Yan's arm.The Empress Dowager said slowly: "I will leave the matter of the poppies to you. In fact, it doesn't matter if you figure it out. The Huns kill countless Han people every year, and they also plunder countless wealthy women. Each of them What flows under the strong body is the sinful blood that killed my big fellow people. Now it is normal for them to pay back a little. It’s not that they don’t want to report, the time has come.”

Han Yan responded in a low voice: "No!"

"You haven't seen that girl Minglan, have you? I have already seen that girl. She is dignified, well-educated, and sensible. Find an auspicious day after the Chinese New Year to give you a crowning ceremony, and then go to Dou's family to hire you. You too It’s not too young, it’s time to spread its branches and leaves. Your grandfather is still waiting to have a grandson!”

Han Yan hesitated for a moment, blinked, and asked softly, "Is it too early?"

The Empress Dowager continued as if she didn't hear it: "After you get married, you are a family. In the future, if you have any political difficulties, you can tell the Chen family of the Dou family. Don't underestimate them. Although there are not many capable people in the family, it is a century-old family. , I can still do it if I can do my best to help you."

Han Yan scratched her head and looked at the Empress Dowager with her mouth curled up.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. He has roughness in his heart and great ambitions. He always wants to change his mind. He can't listen to other people's persuasion. I don't bother to persuade him. It's just because of your relationship with Your Majesty, some words are still good. I have to say. The rules and family laws of the ancestors cannot be easily changed. Apart from other things, what will happen to Shang Yang in the end? Your Majesty tends to Confucianism, which I am not optimistic about. Seeing that there are more and more people in Chang'an City, I'm afraid they are all recruited. But how many sages are among them and how many idlers are there, His Majesty should be able to tell the difference." The Empress Dowager said slowly.

Han Yan didn't speak at all this time.

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Dou thought for a while, then nodded and said, "The rest is up to you to deal with! As long as you don't easily move the tiger charm, don't easily change the country's national policy of cleanliness and inaction. Aijia will take care of everything for you Think about it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can do whatever your Majesty wants to do, and there is no need to make a name for yourself with great fanfare, right? There is a folk saying that you can make a lot of money with a muffled voice! Why can’t Your Majesty figure it out?"

Liu Che had just ascended the throne, and it was the time when he was full of ambition and wanted to do something, but the young man's foundation was not stable, so he wanted to change this and that.Everyone who wants to touch others knows that there is still a lot of noise, which makes the old lady a headache.After much deliberation, Ah Yan's method is better.Then I thought that Han Yan had grown up beside her after all, so she was very considerate of the overall situation.The old lady is more and more satisfied, not bad, it is worth cultivating!

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Dou's attitude towards Han Yan became more and more amiable, and said with a smile: "The few small dishes you cooked at noon are very good. I haven't eaten so happily for a long time. It just so happened that Aijia opened a pot today. Palace pulp purple gold alcohol, you can eat some with Ai's family here at night!"

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Han Yan knew that what he said today was over, so she forced a smile and replied, "Not everyone can drink this palace syrup, purple gold alcohol, but Han Yan entrusted the Empress Dowager to drink it." lucky."

"It can be regarded as a shock to you!" The Empress Dowager said, touching the top of Han Yan's head. "I haven't seen Guantao and Gillian for some days. It's weird. Send someone to send a message to Jiaofangdian and Tangyihou's Mansion later, and ask them to come over to have fun. Then send someone to go The Weiyang Palace is on guard, and when His Majesty finishes handling the political affairs, let him come over too. This is a small family banquet for us."

Han Yan was embarrassed to hear it somehow, so Nuonuo agreed.

The old lady raised her voice again to let people from outside come in, and ordered the servants one by one to look for people everywhere.Intentionally or unintentionally, only the Queen Mother in the side hall of Changle Palace was left out.In less than a quarter of an hour, Queen Gillian walked in gracefully wearing a red curly train and combing a flowing cloud bun.Seeing Ah Yan smiling lightly, she happily sat next to the Empress Dowager.After a while, the Taizhu, the pottery chief of Tangyihou's mansion, was also ordered to enter the palace.On Liu Che's side, after discussing the affairs of the military academy with Zhou Yafu and others, he originally wanted to go to Shanglinyuan, but when he heard the news from the eunuch of Changle Palace, he hurried over when he learned that Han Yan hadn't left yet.

All of a sudden, it was lively and lively, you said what you said, except that Han Yan who was not at ease was a little silent, and even the Empress Dowager was making a lot of jokes.From time to time, he also revealed some interesting stories about Dou Minglan with the Taoist chief of the museum.Han Yan listened casually, but Liu Che thoughtfully tightened his hands holding the wine bottle...
