Xie Xiang

Chapter 5 Puppet

Although His Majesty is older than her, his character of laughing when he is happy and angry when he is angry is really as direct as a child.

However, Liu He was irritated by her smile, with anger in his eyes, he said viciously: "What are you laughing at? Do you think that with Xie Yi's help, you can achieve great things? What a joke!"

He waved his wide robe sleeves, stared at Liu Zao, and said word by word: "Unless your uncle Changping Hou Weiqing is still alive, no one will be able to help you to the throne! Not the Queen Mother, nor Xie Yi." !"

Liu Zao was startled by his sudden anger, subconsciously took a small step back.

Seeing this, Liu He smiled with satisfaction.But Liu Zao noticed that when he was angry just now, the attendants standing in the palace looked tense.This is very strange, the emperor is so self-willed, laughter and rage should be common, and the servants who serve him will not be so nervous when he is angry.

Liu He let out a long breath, stood up, and approached Liu Zao.Liu Zao took precautions and did not retreat this time.The emperor was taller and stronger than her, and he approached her with a sense of oppression.

Liu Zao raised her head to look at him, her peripheral vision caught sight of those attendants, they showed more nervous expressions, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next moment.Just like the second day she came here, when she wanted to go out of the courtyard door, an eunuch knelt in front of her to stop her, and the other three palace servants were watching not far away. If she insisted on going out, she would Will immediately rush to dissuade.

Liu Zao understood that to the emperor, she was the courtyard gate.The emperor didn't get close to her, and no one would persuade him no matter how angry he was, but once he wanted to attack her, his attendants would not sit idly by.

Liu Zao wasn't afraid of the emperor at all, but after seeing it through, some things hurt him.The emperor is a puppet just like her, but her cage is this small palace, while the emperor's is bigger and can walk between the two palaces.

Liu He still didn't know it, and still flaunted his power. He squinted at Liu Zao contemptuously with the corners of his eyes raised, and said, "But they brought you into the palace, but they reminded me that they will get rid of you. Empress Lu proclaimed emperor and established rules. The princess of the family can also win the world, and women can also enter the official career. You are the daughter of Prince Wei, and Prince Wei is a rebellious person. I hate Emperor Wu for being soft-hearted, but he did not abolish him. In this way, in terms of etiquette, you are the direct blood of Emperor Wu , the late emperor is no match for you. But it doesn't matter, the dead can't make waves, and if I kill you, there will be no troubles!"

Liu Zao disagreed, she endured it, and said, "Not necessarily. Prince Wei passed away early, but after he passed away, the turmoil caused by him not only did not subside, but intensified."

The Emperor Wu's family punished the minister who framed the prince, built a uterus for the prince, raised the prince's orphan in Yeting, and recorded it in the genealogy.These are all things that happened after the death of Prince Wei.Even she, because she is the orphan of Prince Wei, will be abandoned outside the palace and ignored for many years, and because Prince Wei is her biological father, she will be brought into the palace at this time as a bargaining chip for the empress dowager and ministers to fight for power.

Death is not the end.

"What do you know? Those turmoil is caused by Emperor Wu, what does it have to do with Prince Wei?" Liu He sneered, "Even now, those who make trouble are living people, and dead people are just a name."

Liu Zao thought for a while, but did not refute this time. She felt that what the emperor said made some sense.

She didn't speak again, as if she was persuaded.Liu He smiled and looked at her with squinted eyes. She spoke little and was thin. She looked immature and weak. She really looked like a suckling sheep that had just been born and fell into the wolf's den of Changle Palace.

it's a pity.

Liu He took another step forward, approaching Liu Zao.Liu Zao looked at him, her eyes were very calm, neither fear nor resentment, nor confusion, just looking back at him calmly.

Also quite backbone.Liu He felt even more regretful.He leaned close to Liu Zao's ear, his voice lowered like a hissing poisonous snake: "You could have lived a safe life outside the palace, but the queen mother brought you into the palace. I will kill you with my own hands and cut the flesh from your body one by one. Cut it off, make you die of pain, and then throw your body into the forest to feed wild animals, so that your bones will not remain. If the spirit of Prince Wei knows, it will never rest in peace."

He spoke very softly, only Liu Zao heard it.Liu Zao turned his head, Liu He's gloomy eyes were right in front of him, he showed a vicious smile, and took two steps back.

The attendant stepped forward in a panic and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, go back to Weiyang Palace."

Liu He let out a "hum", but he didn't get angry. He raised his hand and put it on the jade sword hanging at his waist, and strode out.

Many attendants in the hall receded like flowing water.

The courtyard door slammed shut.

It was a bit cold in the morning, the breeze blew into the room, Liu Zao shivered, she suddenly felt that the purpose of the emperor's coming was to say the last words to her.If the empress dowager and the prime minister were defeated, she would be reduced to such a state that she would not even be able to keep a whole body.

The four palace people regained their freedom, supported each other, and stood up. Hu Ao pulled the purse out of his mouth, and before he had time to rub his sore cheeks, he looked at Liu Zao in horror.

The expressions of the other three people were also similar to his, and they all looked at Liu Zao in horror, and there was a little awe in the horror, which was different from the awe they were afraid of being implicated by her before, and the awe at this time was for her.

Liu Zao knew that it was because of the emperor's outspoken words, she entered the palace to fight for the throne, if they win, they will serve the emperor, and they should be respectful to serve the emperor.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Zao's heart moved, she wanted to subdue these four people at first, but His Majesty threatened her, although it was shocking, it was not without benefits.

She was about to speak, but Hu Ao quickly restrained his expression, stepped forward and said: "The emperor is at ease, what your majesty has done is absurd, and the queen mother will surely hear about it soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the remaining three palace servants also seemed to be stunned, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Zao.

Liu Zao looked at them darkly, and pursed his lips. They knew that she might be expected to become emperor, so they were in awe of her, but they were even more afraid of the Queen Mother.

The great man ruled the world with filial piety, and Emperor Wu was so powerful, he could only show his ambitions until the empress dowager passed away, not to mention the little grandson in front of him.Even if she had that day, she would still have no power and power, and most of the time she would still obey the Queen Mother in everything.

So, why switch to the emperor's grandson?It is more appropriate to still follow the Queen Mother's order.

All the four palace people bowed their heads and said nothing. They said nothing and said everything.Liu Zao was a little disappointed and was about to sit down when the courtyard door opened again.

The one who came in this time was the Zhonghuang Gate that he saw the night he entered the palace.

Zhonghuangmen led several eunuchs to stride forward, and when they saw Liu Zao, they bowed politely: "Servants pay homage to the emperor's grandson."

He didn't get up immediately, but knelt on the ground, which was far from the perfunctory way when he entered the palace.

Liu Zao pursed his lips and said, "Excuse me."

Zhonghuangmen stood up and said to Liu Zao: "The emperor's grandson is frightened." After that, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at Hu Ao and the others coldly, "You waited for the emperor's grandson, but you frightened the emperor's grandson. What should I do?"

The four immediately knelt down, claiming to be guilty, but also calling for injustice.

If the emperor wants to come, how can the little palace people stop him, let alone the many wolves like tigers, even if there are a few more palace people, they can't stop him, let alone just four of them.

But the Zhonghuangmen didn't listen to their complaints: "If you are guilty, you should be punished. After the punishment, come and cry for injustice."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand casually.Several eunuchs stepped forward together and captured Hu Ao and others.

Although he was a little more respectful when saluting, he still didn't see her in his eyes. In front of her, he decided everything without even saying a word.Liu Zao watched from the side, taking the situation into his eyes one by one.She was fine, and even a little excited.

The turnaround came.The emperor's arrival was a turning point, but unfortunately, it didn't make Hu Ao and others look at her differently.

Right now, it is another turning point.

Liu Zao took a step forward and said, "Wait a minute."

Her voice was not high, but very bright. The eunuchs stopped involuntarily. Hu Ao had been dragged out of the door with panic all over his face. Hearing Liu Zao's words, he suddenly woke up, as if he had caught a The life-saving straw, I want to crawl to Liu Zao, begging her to save me.However, when he raised his eyes and saw the Zhonghuang Gate, he didn't dare to move, so he collapsed limply on the ground.

Liu Zao's heart almost jumped out, she was extremely nervous, but she still looked at the Zhonghuang Gate, and said to him: "Today, today's incident, no wonder they. Your Majesty came suddenly, they are hard to guard against..." She thought Say what you say, but you know in your heart that these light words will never impress Zhonghuangmen.

Sure enough, the expression on Zhonghuang's face changed from surprise to indifference.

Liu Zaoqiang calmed down, kept thinking in his mind, and said slowly: "The Zhonghuangmen came here, but the Queen Mother ordered it? Your Majesty came to Changle Palace, did you ever visit the Queen Mother?" She said, her mind gradually became clearer, and her tone became clearer. It became calmer, "Since I entered the palace, I have always been anxious. I don't know when I will see the Queen Mother? Your Majesty came, but no one outside the door informed me, which made me rude in front of the driver. I will report this matter to the Queen Mother face to face."

She is still very immature, even if she is concerned, she still doesn't have the ability to speak water-tightly, and she has clearly laid out the threat.

It is obviously not a good thing for the emperor to come here without permission. The Zhonghuangmen came so quickly, even if he was not to blame, it is not far away.

He rushed here in a hurry to arrest the four palace servants, fearing that he would use them to block the Queen Mother's anger.

Liu Zao threatened him that if he dared to act like this, she would report to the Empress Dowager, it was the people outside the courtyard who failed to stop the emperor, which made the emperor break in.

After Liu Zao finished speaking, he looked at the Zhonghuang Gate.She was really disturbed, in fact, she didn't know how to deal with the Queen Mother, she just tried it.

After trying Xu Neng to save Hu Ao and others, even if they couldn't save them, they wouldn't be too bad.If you don't try, you will just watch them being punished, watching the situation of the Yellow Gate, and know that this matter is difficult, and Hu Ao and others will definitely suffer a lot.

Hu Ao trembled with fright.

Zhonghuangmen lowered his eyelids, looking at Liu Zao lightly.Liu Zao was trembling, but he didn't retreat, let him look at him.

Zhonghuangmen smiled, and his tone became disrespectful: "I don't want the emperor and grandson to learn the trick of winning people's hearts at such a young age."

He saw it.Liu Zao's mood was stagnant, and he didn't refute or admit it.

Zhonghuangmen shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the queen mother has misunderstood the grandson of the emperor." The emperor has clearly explained the benefits of choosing the daughter of the crown prince Wei Li. Born as a puppet, if she ascends the throne, the Empress Dowager will be able to control the court as if she were in the court, and take the power of the court into her own hands.

However, at present, it seems that the little Huangsun is not a person who has no opinions, let alone someone who is willing to be a puppet.
