[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

When he heard the word "Yan'er", Zhou's complexion changed slightly, and he relaxed a little. He only looked at a pool of unopened lotus from a distance, and said slowly: "Yan'er..."

Zhaojun ignored her, and let Qing Qiang stand beside her, and when she walked out of the lotus pavilion, her footsteps paused.She turned her head to look at Mr. Zhou, and after a while, she laughed, "What's the anger with you, Aijia?" She seemed to be asking her, but she seemed to be asking herself, and finally shook her head, and said to Mr. Zhou, "You know how to act? How important it is to Aijia, he respects you as his imperial grandmother, Aijia won't make him unhappy because of you. You should think about it yourself!"

After speaking, he walked around and left with Qing Qiang.

At first glance, her trip looks like she came to shake the mountain to shake the tiger. Of course, she also came to shake the mountain to shake the tiger. The little tiger lying quietly waiting to give Zhaojun a fatal blow.

In just half a day, it was rumored throughout the palace that the emperor begged the queen mother for a night of grace for an old concubine who had lost power for many years. The source will definitely cover his mouth and let out a "shh--", then lower his voice and say to everyone in a very mysterious way: "I heard that the emperor has knelt down--"

Everyone was in an uproar.

The source of the gossip hurriedly waved his hands to signal the big guy to be quiet: "Shhh - you can't talk about this matter, and I will tell you that if the emperor finds out, he will be beheaded!"

Naturally, everyone responded that such words would not be spread, but when they turned their heads, these explosive news would also be spread.

By the time Gao Yan realized it, the news had spread throughout the palace, but thanks to the old concubine's age of over 50, everyone was unable to spread the news as a gossip. He bowed to God, and said excitedly: "God gave us a benevolent emperor, it is really gratifying, thank you."

Regarding this news, Qing Qiang's opinion is as follows: "If the concubine is only in her 20s, everyone will say that our emperor is romantic."

Zhaojun reminded her: "If the concubine is only in her 20s, how should we face the tablet of the Supreme Emperor?"

Qing Qiang was stunned for a while, and finally praised: "Auntie is wise."

It took half a day for this matter to spread around the palace, and then it took another half day for it to spread out of the palace. In the early morning of the next day, Gao Yan had already received several memorials requesting to reward Concubine Zhou. It means that Concubine Zhou was relegated to the cold palace for more than ten years, not to mention that she failed to get the title of Empress and Concubine she deserved, even her original title was taken away, and she has been using her surname as her title for so many years.His words were full of indignation.

According to the news that Eunuch Yuan Fu gave to Qing Qiang, the emperor accepted the memorials with a kind face, and then asked meaningfully: "Do you think the Gao family has treated Concubine Zhou harshly in the past ten years?"

The chancellor who gave the performance had no eyesight, bowed to Gao Yan, bowed his head and said in a loud voice: "I don't dare, I think that Qihu Khan has been at odds with my Daqi all these years, and the caravan of Daqi passing by Qihu also He was often robbed. Qihu Khan is the nephew of Concubine Zhou. I think this incident has a lot to do with Concubine Zhou's relegation to the cold palace, so I secretly thought that the emperor should confer the title of Concubine Zhou, Tai Huang Tai Concubine, and reward him. After Hu Kehan ​​finds out, he will definitely understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, and he will definitely help me achieve great success in the future!"

These words seem to be very similar, but if you taste them carefully, you will find something wrong.It is true that Qihu and Daqi have been at odds for a long time, but Qihu Khan is a smiling fox. The Qihu people who robbed Daqi's caravan are all bandits. He will laugh and catch a few people and kill them for you to see, but he can't even say a word.Therefore, it is good for everyone to know whether there is disagreement or disagreement. He said it so blatantly. If Qihu Khan got wind of it in the future, he would say: "Your ministers openly slandered you in the court. Our Qihu is causing trouble for you Daqi, so I will really find some trouble for you." Then he joined forces with the Dongqihu Eighteen tribes to attack Daqi, although it would not be fatal, but it was also a headache.

It will be even more troublesome if Chen Guo and Wei Guo take the opportunity to share a share of the pie together.

Therefore, what the court chief said had to go around in his own heart a few times before he said it, and speaking it out so blatantly like him would only attract everyone's attention.

It is said that after Gao Yan listened to his words at that time, he just supported his mouth with one hand, and the corner of his cool mouth raised a slight smile, and he said with a half-smile: "Qi Hu has always been good friends with me, and my concubine Gao Jiazun belongs to the Supreme Emperor." Noble concubine, she is Qihu's princess and has always treated her very generously, I don't quite understand Wang Qing's words. Let's leave the matter of the concubine today, don't bring it up again!"

The topic went back to the issue of taxation and labor for the common people. The following are all political affairs of the court, so it is useless to say more here, so I skip it directly.What needs to be mentioned here is that not long after the Lord Wang in the early court finished those words, he was impeached by General Lou Zhao for accepting bribes and neglecting human life.

Qing Qiang rubbed her chin and commented: "This person is really ignorant. He clearly knows how Concubine Zhou made troubles for Auntie, but he still dares to say that we treat her harshly!"

Zhaojun smiled at her and didn't say anything.

After all, Gao Yan couldn't say anything about Concubine Zhou. Gao Yan was not born when those past events happened, so it's normal that he doesn't hate those things deeply.But fortunately, before this, Qing Qiang pestered Zhaojun to listen to all the scriptures and fairy tales she could know, and then pestered Zhaojun to listen to some of her past events out of boredom.

Among them is the Qihu Princess Zhou who was married to the 17-year-old Miaoling.

The Zhou family was a jewel held in the palm of the old Qihu Khan. It is said that her beauty had already shocked the men of the 29 tribes of Qihu at that time, and many handsome, stalwart, romantic and talented men had long favored her. years of pursuit.But she resolutely married into Daqi after all.

In her words, it is: "In the whole world, only the Son of Heaven is qualified to be my husband."

Qing Qiang once asked Zhaojun: "It's not just Daqi that has emperors in the world. Didn't Liang and Wei also have emperors?"

Zhaojun answered her like this: "Emperor Liang was over half a hundred years old at that time. Although Emperor Wei was in his prime, he was short and had a pockmarked face..."

Qing Qiang expresses her understanding, Gao's pedigree is excellent, and the man she gives birth to is also beautiful.

Such an arrogant and conceited princess naturally looked down on the birth of Zhaojun's daughter-in-law. Of course, there were other reasons besides the birth. Those reasons are very complicated to explain, so I won't make redundant descriptions here.To sum it up in one sentence, Mrs. Zhou hated Zhaojun very much, so during the period of time after she married, she took pleasure in torturing Zhaojun every day.

This kind of tossing continued until Mrs. Yu got married. With the status of Princess Rouran, Mrs. Zhou believed that only a princess could be worthy of being the wife of the emperor's palace.Zhaojun once thought that with her personality, she should make friends with Yu Shi and Xiao Huanyun, and maybe they could become confidants at the first sight. A sad situation without one.

Therefore, as much as Zhaojun hated Xiao Huanyun and the Yu family, he hated the Zhou family as much, but he didn't know about these high performances.

Not two days after the minister surnamed Wang was impeached by Lou Zhao and dispatched to the frontier, Lou Zhao asked for an order again, which means that Gao Zhan, the king of the mountains, did a very good job in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Bad debt, so I recommend Gao Zhan to Gao Yan.

Gao Zhan was already very haggard when he went out and returned to the palace, probably because of the long journey, Gao Yan visited him twice, but each time Gao Zhan would mention Xiao Huanyun, meaning that Xiao Huanyun burned the dragon robe back then Maybe it was framed by someone, she has admitted her mistake now but Gao Yan refused to forgive her, which made Xiao Huanyun very sad or something like that.

At the end, Gao Zhan also said: "Your Majesty, when you married her, didn't you say you would protect her forever? How long has it been now..."

He was interrupted by Gao Yan's forehead: "Ah Zhan, don't mention the matter of calling the cloud anymore, you should have a good rest, and I will come to see you when I am free."

It is true that Xiao Huanyun is a wound in his heart, and the wound that has not recovered so far, I don't know if it has festered.It's fine if others mention those pains. What is Gao Zhan's identity to mention this matter?As an old lover?Or as a younger brother?No matter which one it is, as long as it is mentioned a little, those thorny thorns will entangle him like crazy, especially the sentence of Concubine Li: "The old rules of Xianbei, younger uncles can marry widowed sister-in-laws." , Xiao Huanyun, this is what you came up with, isn't it?" Gao Yan was stinging with pain.

Gao Zhan's existence has become a sandstone that makes him painful, but this sandstone is his own brother, and it cannot be destroyed, so he can only kick it far away.Lou Zhao's memorial became his life-saving talisman, and Gao Zhan was sent out of the palace on the day he got the memorial.

On the day Gao Zhan came out of the palace, Zhaojun and Gao Yan sat at the stone table in front of the Zhaoyang Palace and played a game of chess. Surprisingly, Gao Yan did not lose at the beginning, and endured for a long time .

Zhaojun gave birth to the last son, as if he suddenly thought of this matter, he casually mentioned: "Ms. Zhou is old after all, and the Ai family doesn't want to argue with her. If you are free, go to Jiafu Hall more often." Let's go." Touching her forehead with her fingertips, she still stared at the chessboard with downcast eyes, and continued slowly: "At the beginning, the Ai family didn't want to give her a title because of a moment of anger, but now that she has been released, she should have Return the title to her. Well, the Ai family sees that the eighth day of next month is a good day, you should draw up the decree first, and announce it together at that time."

As if thinking of something, he added: "Don't forget to order someone to mention this matter to Qihu Khan, so that he won't feel that our mother and son have treated his aunt badly."

Gao Yan looked at Zhaojun in astonishment, and after a long time, he said, "Yes."

The matter of Concubine Zhou was resolved satisfactorily. Qing Qiang speculated that Zhaojun's move was to "praise and kill her", and only by praising her higher can others be dissatisfied with her and thus poison her.But this conjecture was purely made by Qing Qiang when she had nothing to do. She was always the one who knew best what Zhao Jun wanted to do.

On the surface, the Zhou family and Zhaojun seem to be reconciling. Zhaojun has a goal, and the Zhou family also has a goal. When they both have goals, everyone is in harmony.The only thing that is not harmonious is Xiao Huanyun who is planning for Gao Zhan wholeheartedly.

In order to regain his throne, Gao Zhan has been wandering in remote border areas these days. He has been in and out of life and death several times.But right now, if the Zhou family reconciles with Zhaojun, all Qihu forces will be owned by Gao Yan, then even if Gao Zhan unites all the forces of the small border countries, he will not be able to compete with him.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the only way to prevent the reconciliation between Zhaojun and the Zhou family, and the reconciliation between Daqi and Qihu.

And the way to prevent this is to kill the Zhou family and then blame Zhaojun.The Zhou family and Zhaojun had been at odds for a long time, and once the Zhou family died, Qihu Khan would definitely hate Zhaojun to the bone, and thus help Gao Zhan.

However, what Xiao Huanyun didn't know was that the imperial decree to confer the title of Empress Dowager Zhou and the title of Jingwu had already been rushed out of the palace, and he was on the way to Qihu at this moment.
