Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

Not to mention that Nian Nujiao hurriedly turned back to the wing where Lvzhu was, but only that Liu Che in the private room became more and more depressed after hearing Nian Nujiao's information.Zhou Mingjin persuaded him helplessly: "In fact, it may not be the order of the Empress Dowager, maybe the people in the Taichang Office really didn't find any clues. Or they did it in private and didn't inform the Empress Dowager. ?”

It's just that no matter what the facts are, it's hard to hide the fact that too often or the old ministers who are close to the Dou family are not very effective in using them.

Han Yan understood Liu Che's current mood best, but he had nothing to say, no intention to persuade.This kind of thing is all figured out by myself, no matter what others say, it will add fuel to the flames or scratch the surface.Because the facts are already in front of us.

After pouring a cup of hot tea and handing it to Liu Che, Han Yan thought for a moment and said: "There is no news from the people in my hands. It seems that the vassal kings have not been in Beijing for a long time, or they haven't made any big moves yet. In addition, this month It was the day when the vassal kings entered the capital, so the guys didn’t take it seriously. Now that you have the exact news, if your majesty wants to know what the vassal kings did after they entered the capital, it will not be very difficult.”

After listening to Han Yan's words, Liu Che's sinking mood recovered a bit.Han Yan has never let him down over the years.Since Han Yan said that the problem was not serious, he naturally believed it habitually. "Just ask the guys to secretly observe whether they have any abnormal behavior, and don't startle the snake."

"No!" Han Yan nodded, and waved the bell next to the table.A servant could come in and refill the teapot with hot water. Han Yan whispered something into his ear, and the servant nodded and bowed to leave.

"I heard that Nian Nujiao means that Liu Ling, the king of Huainan, has also entered the capital. I don't know what the hell is she going to do this time?" Liu Che asked with a frown.The first time this woman appeared on stage, she messed up his wedding and almost killed Han Yan and Gillian.Even the embarrassing situation Liu Che is facing now is inseparable from Liu Ling's second move.For this woman, Liu Che was completely bored.

Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin's heart moved when they heard the words, and they looked at each other thoughtfully.

But at this moment, the Lord Liu Ling, who is missed by everyone, is kneeling and sitting in the private room of a wine shop with all kinds of flair. Opposite him is the middle-aged but still handsome former Wuqiang Hou Zhuang Qingzhai. Staring fiercely at Liu Ling's snow-white Marquis Wang Xin of Yangwu like a ghost.

Seeing Wang Xin, Marquis of Yangwu, who was so unappealing, a look of disdain flashed across Liu Ling's eyes as he lowered his head to pour the wine.When he raised his head again, all his emotions were covered under a smile, and he held up his wine glass to respect Zhuang Qingzhai with a charming smile: "This time it can be done, thanks to the help of Marquis Wu Qiang, Liu Ling is here to go first Thank you."

After all, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Turning the wine bottle upside down to show sincerity, he sized up Yang Wuhou Wang Xin intentionally or unintentionally.Sensing the sight of the beauty, Yang Wuhou's chest became more and more erect.

Zhuang Qingdi hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hands, and then two singers came in from outside.She has a charming figure and a beautiful face.Kneeling on the left and right of Yangwuhou, Yingge and Yanyu persuaded him to drink.After a while, Wang Xin was in high spirits, reluctantly bid farewell to Zhuang Qingzhai, leaned on the two singers and crookedly left the private room.

Looking at Wang Xin's back, a trace of contempt flashed in Liu Ling's eyes, and he said flatteringly to Zhuang Qingzhai: "Everyone says that Marquis Wu Qiang has a refined personality and loves to communicate. It is so true when I saw him today. People of Wang's lineage are very impressed. Liu Ling admires him in his heart for being able to deal with it with generosity regardless of past suspicions, and toast to Lord Hou again."

"Master Liu Ling is being polite. Although Yang Wuhou Wang Xin is not very talented, he is honest in character. I can benefit a lot from being with him." Zhuang Qingzhai said something casually, then raised his glass and said: "Dedicating the book "Hong Lie" to the Empress Dowager through the hands of the King of Liang is nothing more than the effort of this old man. It is not worthy of such a great gift from the Lord. Besides, the old man is no longer Marquis Wu Qiang. If the Lord does not dislike it, Just call the old man uncle."

Zhuang Qingzhai said, and returned the drink humbly.He completely offended Liu Che because of the King Liang incident. Not only was he stripped of his title, but he was also demoted three ranks in a row.If the empress dowager hadn't cared about the old love, he might have been kicked out of court by Liu Che long ago.After some panic, he had to make plans for his own way out.

A gleam flashed in Liu Ling's eyes, but he said with righteous indignation on his face, "Liu Ling also heard a thing or two about Uncle Zhuang. In all fairness, Uncle Zhuang was helpless at the time. Who would have known that the King of Liang was falsely passed on to the Empress Dowager?" What about his decree! After the defeat, the chief culprit, King Liang, was not punished. On the contrary, Uncle Zhuang, who was deceived, was deposed and degraded. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is wise, otherwise..."

"Hey!" Zhuang Qingdi put down the wine bottle sadly upon hearing this. "Fortunately, the Empress Dowager knows the old man's temperament. Otherwise, the old man is irrefutable!"

"The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Why does Uncle Zhuang need to argue? The Empress Dowager naturally knows what Uncle Zhuang wants." Liu Ling said something pointedly.Seeing Zhuang Qingzhai's indifferent expression, the corners of his lips curled up meaningfully.

"What Weng Master said is very true." Zhuang Qingzhai said in a deep voice. "Your Majesty is not often in the capital, so there are some things that he doesn't know. Although His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are enjoying themselves in harmony and peace, there are still many conflicts between the two. It's just that the days are still young and they haven't flared up. "

"Oh?" Liu Ling's heart moved, and he asked very interestedly: "Then according to Uncle Zhuang's intention... what should Liu Ling do next?"

"Master Weng doesn't need to do anything." Zhuang Qingzhai shook his head lightly. "In the past few days, all the vassal princes have come to Beijing to meet. Liu Wu is the only surviving son of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is naturally reluctant to wrong him. But some things happened after all... we just need to watch quietly from the sidelines." .”

Seeing that Zhuang Qingdi's thinking was exactly the same as his own, Liu Ling smiled in relief.The words became more and more intimate: "Before I came, my father asked me to ask Uncle Zhuang for everything I did after I arrived in Chang'an. It is said that Uncle Zhuang has the best understanding of the Empress Dowager's mind. When I saw you today, Zhuang Uncle really lives up to his reputation, he is indeed the most trusted minister around the Empress Dowager."

Speaking of this point, Zhuang Qingzhai was also very complacent.He is the only courtier who can make the Empress Dowager work so hard to protect her.Liu Che had just ascended the throne, yet he dared to offend the most capable person beside the Empress Dowager——

A glint of sternness flashed in Zhuang Qingzhai's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty was young, and was bewitched by Wei Wan's Confucian scholars to favor Confucianism since he was a child, but the Empress Dowager is the most supportive of Huang Lao's inaction. Just watch." , The conflict between the two is still to come! Especially after Huainan King presented "Hong Lie" to the Empress Dowager, this is a classic book summarizing Taoism's views! The Empress Dowager is full of praise after reading it!"

Listening to Zhuang Qingzhai's words, Liu Ling's smile became more and more intoxicating.Covering her mouth with a charming smile, she said, "Uncle Zhuang, don't talk about it. If His Majesty knows that the Empress Dowager caused so many troubles because of reading "Hong Lie" written by my father, I'm afraid she will hate us to death." Father and daughter are gone!"

"That's what he reaped." Zhuang Qingzhai snorted coldly. "The well-behaved Huang Lao did not follow the doctrine of inaction, but praised those sour Confucian theories. He even forgot how the Emperor Gaozu disliked Confucianism. Such a forgetful, no wonder the Empress Dowager is dissatisfied!"

"It's up to Uncle Zhuang to speak more in front of the Empress Dowager. Come, Liu Ling borrows flowers to present Buddha, and then respect Uncle Zhuang with a glass of wine." Liu Ling raised his bottle and said.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhuang Qingzhai drank the wine in his glass with a smile.After a few glasses of rice wine, the conversation became more and more frequent.He told Liu Ling all the preferences of the Empress Dowager, and finally concluded: "As long as you do these few things when you meet the Empress Dowager, I guarantee that the Empress Dowager will like you."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhuang, for your suggestion." Liu Ling got up and bowed to Zhuang Qingzhai, and said softly, "Liu Ling was always worried before! I was young and inexperienced, and I offended the Empress Dowager and her old man. I was afraid She will be angry with me when I greet her this time!"

"You are wrong." Zhuang Qingzhai waved his hand, put the wine bottle on the table, and said: "The empress dowager is the most generous old man, how could she have the same knowledge as a junior like you. What's more, what happened back then It's not your fault. Besides, the empress dowager has pointed out her own girl to Han Yan, and the rumors of the past are self-defeating. The empress dowager won't take the old things to heart."

Hearing Zhuang Qingzhai's words, Liu Ling felt empty for some reason, and muttered to himself: "Uncle Zhuang said that Han Yan is going to marry a wife?"

"No, the woman is Dou Minglan, Dou Ying's granddaughter. She has a soft personality and a beautiful appearance. It can be regarded as a match made in heaven." Zhuang Qingzhai shook his head in praise.

Liu Ling covered his mouth in astonishment, and said dumbly: "Han Yan and Dou Ying's granddaughter... Isn't that a generation difference. Isn't this—"

Incest?

Zhuang Qingzhai snorted when he heard the words. "We're not those Confucian scholars, what do we care about? What's more, Han Yan is not the grandson of the Empress Dowager, but just a recognized god-grandson, and has not been included in the genealogy. Besides, in terms of seniority, Han Yan's grandfather, Han Tiao When they are both heroes of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion with Dou Ying, they are still in the same generation!"

"But..." Liu Ling frowned, and finally swallowed the original words in his heart.Instead, he said: "So, the Empress Dowager loves Han Yan very much! But as far as I know, this Han Yan is His Majesty's loyal minister?"

"The empress dowager appreciates Han Yan." Zhuang Qingzhai casually ordered: "Your Majesty, you must know that the empress dowager is old, how long can she live. If there are no exceptions, the future world will not belong to your majesty. She has to think about Dou Shi and Chen Shi's future."

Liu Ling nodded thoughtfully, more and more admiring the empress dowager's scheming.

But he said to Zhuang Qingzhai without revealing anything on his face: "Uncle Zhuang's words awakened the dreamer. With the guidance of a sensible person like Uncle Zhuang, Liu Ling's trip to Chang'an is finally worry-free."

"Hahaha, Mrs. Weng is too polite. Mrs. Weng's natural beauty and intelligence are what I admire!" Zhuang Qingzhai said with a smile.

"Where is it, Uncle Zhuang praised you so much." Liu Ling's smile became sweeter, and he poured drinks into his stomach for free.

Between the toasts and cups, his gaze casually swept across the bleak sky outside, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered that Han Yan with a delicate face and a special demeanor.I feel a little lost in my heart...
