Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

It was night, and the moon was as cool as water.

Standing on the high jade steps and looking down, the whole Weiyang Palace can be seen at a glance.Under the engulfment of the night, the bright yellow eaves auspicious beast leaves only a vague shadow, just like the conscience that has been engulfed by desire.

The cold wind is biting, but it can't cool people's hearts.

His body sank suddenly, and the heavy coat was draped over his body to block the biting cold wind. Liu Che turned his head and saw Han Yan's overly delicate face hidden in the darkness.

His heart suddenly warmed up, Liu Che turned around, stretched out his hand to hold Han Yan's hands tucked under his sleeves.The fingertips are cold, but the palm is warm.

The two looked at each other and smiled, a warm and silent feeling rippling.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You'd better take a rest! Otherwise, you'll lose your energy in the morning tomorrow." Han Yan advised softly.

Liu Che's eyes darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Grandmother can tell... what will I do tomorrow morning?"

Han Yan shook her head slightly. "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, she just ordered that things should be done according to His Majesty's wishes. But His Majesty must remember that the rules and ancestral system of this dynasty must be respected."

Liu Che's face froze, and he said with some difficulty and bitterness: "According to the rules and regulations..."

Wouldn't that even make his position unstable?

After all, when a big Han governs the country, filial piety is the most important thing.How could a member of the family and an important official of the court accept the son of a woman who poisoned her husband Yu Xiaoshu to inherit the throne?

Liu Che couldn't help thinking of the Confucianism that he favored before, and felt a little lucky in his heart.Fortunately, there is no Confucianism who insists on going his own way, otherwise, wouldn't this scene be a slap in the face?

Seeing Liu Che's silent appearance, Han Yan understood.After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Actually... there is another way that is not a solution!"

"What way?" Liu Che's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged.

"Today, the Empress Dowager openly summoned His Majesty, the Grand Master and others into the palace. At such a stall, the Empress Dowager must never have an accident. Otherwise, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?" Han Yan sorted out her thoughts and said slowly : "Presumably the Empress Dowager didn't mean anything to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty's identity was recognized by the late Emperor himself, and there was also the support of the military veterans. For the stability of the court, the Empress Dowager must only want to punish the chief culprit, not It will hurt the innocent."

"But grandma..." Liu Che hesitated.

"The empress dowager has a stubborn personality. If she really wanted to make a piece of jade, she would never discuss it with her majesty. Besides, the empress dowager is a member of the harem, and the harem is the sphere of influence of the empress dowager. Now that the empress dowager will Handing over the Empress Dowager to His Majesty proves that the Empress Dowager wants to preserve His Majesty's heart." Han Yan slowly analyzed: "There is only one thing, that is, Your Majesty should be as fair as possible in dealing with things, and be sympathetic to the Empress Dowager's gray hair. Sending black-haired people away, the sorrowful heart of bereavement one after another."

Liu Che remained silent.After a while, he said in a low voice: "Father..."

After finishing speaking, I burst into tears.

For a while, Han Yan couldn't help but her eyes were red.He took a step forward, gently wrapped his arms around Liu Che's waist, and patted Liu Che's back with one hand like when he was a child.Liu Che also took advantage of the situation and hugged Han Yan's waist tightly, and buried a big head on Han Yan's neck.After only a moment of effort, Han Yan felt that the collar was a little damp.Depressed in my heart, I don't know how to open my mouth to persuade.Fortunately, after only a short while, Liu Che had stabilized his emotions, leaned back, moved a little away, looked at Han Yan and said, "Ah Yan, just tell me what you can do. You don't have to worry about face and dignity right now, as long as I can save my mother's life... After all, she is my mother's mother, no matter how many things she does wrong, her original intention is to help me..."

Han Yan disagreed with Liu Che's defense for Wang Zhi.But it's true that Wang Zhi can't die right now.Liu Che needs to use her to stabilize Chao Gang, but Wang Zhi himself has made too many enemies, and his actions are too shady, leaving no way out. If he falls to the bottom with one move, I am afraid that many people want her to die...

"Ayan?" Liu Che frowned slightly and smiled softly.

"Your Majesty!" Han Yan came back to her senses and continued: "Since the late emperor's great journey, the empress dowager has shed tears day and night, missing the late emperor. She is worried that the late emperor will have no one to take care of him under the nine springs. After all, the one who wanted to be buried at the beginning Concubine Bian was unable to follow the late emperor because she was pregnant with a dragon descendant. And a concubine who was appointed at random was not favored by the late emperor. The empress dowager was worried that the late emperor would be unwell, so she wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to take care of her majesty in person."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che couldn't help being surprised.There is quite a broad and cheerful mood. "Ask mother to go to the imperial mausoleum to accompany father?"

Liu Che thought about it and thought it was not bad. "In this way, the Empress Dowager's pain of losing her son has been taken care of, and the Empress Dowager's life has also been saved. After thinking about it again, there is no more appropriate arrangement than this."

From the point of view of the Empress Dowager, since you killed my son, you should be buried with him.Due to the situation, I can't let people be buried.But I just want you to live your whole life in the mausoleum, facing my son day and night.Let's see if you, a femme fatale, will feel restless and guilty.Better to scare you to death.

But from Liu Che's point of view, it's even simpler.After all, he was the first person to murder the late emperor, and Liu Che didn't expect the empress dowager to continue to be prosperous, as long as she could keep her alive.

After careful scrutiny, his gratitude to Han Yan grew, and he couldn't help holding Han Yan's hands, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Yan, thank you."

for a while.There is actually some affectionate tenderness.

It made Han Yan feel uncomfortable for a while.To be honest, he was able to think of this strategy, thanks to the continuous emergence of Qingchuan TV series in later generations.After Kangxi's great success, Yongzheng sent the favored fourteenth son of the emperor to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb, and called it "filial piety to the emperor's Ama". He not only let out a bad breath, but also sent him away from the center of power , I really have both face and face.When Han Yan saw this passage, she sighed inwardly for Yongzheng's cold heart.Unexpectedly, as time passed and the situation changed, I actually applied this method to life.

But no matter how you think about it, this method fully considers the wishes of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty.For a moment, Liu Che felt that the clouds had cleared and the mist had dispersed, and a big stone that was pressing on his heart fell to the ground.Without the serious worry in his heart, he felt his eyelids sticking together for a while.Han Yan saw it and sighed softly.He helped Liu Che into the palace and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Che really announced the central decree announcing various matters for the Empress Dowager to keep her coffin.Immediately afterwards, the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager was also issued to each government.Although the ministers thought it was sudden, they only thought that it was the result of the rivalry between the two empress dowagers and the imperial power, and the previous scene where the empress dowager blindly exercised power and forced your majesty to find the empress dowager's widowed daughter. Think about something else.Some sensitive family officials felt that it was abnormal, but seeing the joint action of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, they didn't have the courage to say anything casually.Such a result was unexpected by Liu Che.

Three days after the imperial decree was issued, the empress dowager, who was still wrapped in gauze on her forehead, was sent to the imperial mausoleum with a bamboo hat heavily "protected" by the Habayashi army.The Empress Dowager, supported by Nanny Li and other court ladies, stood on the front of the palace wall and walked far away, saying hello three times, which attracted everyone's attention.And until the convoy escorting Wang Zhi disappeared, Liu Che never showed up to see him off.Han Yan knew that Liu Che was having a hard time getting through that psychological barrier. Her mother killed her father for the sake of power and status...

This kind of thing, most people can't accept it!

Han Yan was keenly aware that Liu Che had obviously become more gloomy since the matter of Wang Zhi was revealed.On weekdays, if there is no one else to talk to, he can sit on the dragon chair and meditate for a whole day without speaking.His face was expressionless, and his solemn and solemn appearance became more and more similar to that of Emperor Jing, but the sharper aura around him made people hold his breath in his chest.When his gaze is firmly locked on you, you actually feel uneasy about being seen through.Han Yan sighed more than once, maybe this is the aura of Emperor Wu of Han!

In addition to his gloomy personality, Liu Che's methods of doing things became more and more vigorous and decisive.After finding two or three excuses within a month to drive all the princes and kings who were still staying in Chang'an, such as Liu Mai of Liang Wang and Liu Fei of Jiangdu, back to their fiefs, Liu Che's strong and domineering image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Liu Che frowned.Weiyang Palace's order was approved and implemented in the shortest possible time.The majesty of the imperial power has risen unscrupulously during these days, and all the forces in the court have avoided it. In Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager was a little mentally ill due to the successive bereavements of her son. The bad breath was exhausted, and the body deteriorated more and more.Lie on the couch for several months in a row, less awake and more drowsy.Accompanied by Queen A-Jiao, serving decoctions in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, she is also a filial piety for Her Majesty who is busy with everything.The Dou family has neither the intention nor the ability to restrain Liu Che.Since then, there was no power left to restrain Liu Che in the court, and for a while, he was quite dumbfounded, with the posture of an eagle in the sky.

And Han Yan, who was training hard outside the city, also faintly noticed that Liu Che had used the hidden guards too many times in the past few months, and frequently summoned Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, into the palace to ask questions.Several military officials who were inclined to Liu Che, such as Zhou Yafu, Luan Bu, Li Guang, Han Tuidang, etc., also frequently entered the palace to deal with it. Everyone in the government and the public saw it in their eyes, and they had a faint understanding——

Everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.A bigger storm may be coming soon.

Sure enough, the uneasy premonition was immediately confirmed.In April of the first year of Jianyuan, Empress Dowager Dou died in Changle Palace.In less than two hours, the death knell sounded in the direction of the imperial mausoleum, and a messenger flying horse announced——

The Empress Dowager Wang...died suddenly an hour ago!

In one day, the Han Dynasty killed two empress dowagers one after another.

The emperor mourned greatly and was distraught.The whole country is in mourning.And issued the central decree, after receiving the decree, the princes and princes immediately set off to Chang'an, the capital, to observe the filial piety for the empress dowager without delay.

At the same time, the defenses inside and outside Chang'an City became more and more strict.The South and North battalions are located in Godardan, well-informed and thoughtful veterans will find that those veterans with high prestige in the army have all quietly entered each battalion, and quietly took over all the troops...

The last straw that broke the camel's back was Lei Bei, the number one swordsman in Huainan, who was notified by Guo Xie to go to Beijing with Liu An, king of Huainan.

Dang Lei was respectfully handed over to Han Yan an account book, on which there was a dazzling record of how much money and beautiful women the King of Huainan had privately bribed the courtiers, officials and military officials, how much money he had spent in recruiting troops and buying military supplies.Even after the news of how many dead soldiers were hidden in the team entering Beijing this time... Han Yan closed the account book lightly, sighing secretly in her heart——

Playing chess for a long time, it finally comes in handy today.

The battle is imminent, and it is about to start!
