Picking chrysanthemum

They overestimated their capabilities and sent Yuan Song to exterminate them.

Yuan Song stabilized the situation in half a day and came back to return. After hearing Yuan Song's words, the emperor said hello three times in a row, and he valued Yuan Song even more.

After the emperor felt at ease, he began to linger in the gorgeous palace, and sometimes he could not see anyone in Tongque Terrace, so he didn't know——

Yecheng has been quietly chaotic.

The author has something to say:

How could Gao Fan die? The smart Xiaoyou guessed it all at once (*￣m￣)

The character design of Emperor Gao Yuan is a combined version of Gao Zhan and his son in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Gao Fan, hehe, how about setting up Chang Gong for a selfish person?

If you feel that you are confused and confused, don't worry. =

Zhilan made a serious mistake when writing this book. In fact, the entire framework was built on the background of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, and Southern Chen Dynasty (some people call them the Later Three Kingdoms) at the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Therefore, Zhilan unconsciously wrote some Family and country feelings. . .Historically, the Three Kingdoms have clashed with each other. Since Qi and Zhou evolved from the Northern Wei Dynasty, they fought every day.The background is grand, even cruel, and Zhilan’s original setting was to write a story about Gao Fan and Xun You playing tricks and leaving the court to live a peaceful life, so you may feel that there is a lot of nonsense (about the background and other people's descriptions), the plot is procrastinated (there are too many to explain, and the two of them have a lot of ties), a bit thunderous (it was really difficult to retreat in that era, let alone as two people), in short, hope Jun Haihan.

Empress Dowager Hu ordered people to build a nunnery in the deep palace, and she lived in it for some time. When she first heard the bad news, she went to Gao Yu's place to cry several times, and she pointed at the emperor and scolded her. "Anyway, he is the brother of your mother's compatriots. Why are you so cruel? You are digging the heart of Aijia."

The emperor just sneered: "If I don't kill him, he will take my life. Queen mother, how partial are you."

The heavenly family is ungrateful, and mother and son are no exception.After hearing the bad news, Empress Dowager Hu collapsed in half, and the emperor's indifference made her even more disheartened. She couldn't help crying when she devoted herself to worshiping Buddha every day.

On this day, Empress Dowager Hu finally came out of the nunnery, and just as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw a large group of people headed by the queen rushing towards her.

"The news is so well-informed, but I really regard myself as the master of the harem." Empress Dowager Hu said disdainfully.

The empress came from a mediocre background, but she was so tactful that she won the emperor's heart. When she walked up to the Empress Dowager Hu, she blessed her body and said, "Empress Mother, I have brought all the concubines to visit you. Don't worry about your body even if you devote yourself to worshiping the Buddha."

Empress Dowager Hu raised her head and glanced, there were many Yingyingyanyans standing behind the empress, and there were many unfamiliar faces among them. Empress Dowager Hu knew that the emperor had become more and more indulgent recently.

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Hu saw Yuan Tong in the crowd, and she was startled. Could it be that the emperor took his younger siblings by force?absurd!

Fortunately, Yuan Tong stepped forward to salute at this time to dispel Queen Mother Hu's doubts. "My concubine, Li Yuanshi, pays homage to the empress dowager, who is a thousand years old."

Li Yuanshi?What does this mean?Empress Dowager Hu frowned, and after sending the queen and others away, she looked at Yuantong and said, "You come in with Ai's family."

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Hu entered the hall, screened back to the left and right, and then lowered her face and said, "Fan'er's bones are not yet cold, and you have found a next home! This is really an eye-opener for Ai's family! Have you forgotten how you promised Ai's family before?"

"Mother's forgiveness," Yuan Tong still called out the old name, she wept unceasingly, speaking intermittently: "My son will never forget to be loyal to the prince, I have no choice but to do this, Your Majesty, okay, okay, He hinted to me many times that I had no choice but to remarry to the Li family, and it was just a fake couple, but His Majesty seemed, he seemed—the son and minister were terrified, begging for the protection of the queen mother!"

Empress Dowager Hu gritted her teeth and said, "What a crime!"

Yuan Tong was very emotional. She hugged the hem of Queen Mother Hu's clothes and cried: "My lord, he is wronged to go away. Has my mother ever seen his body? The black stain on the broken bone is not filthy in the river, but highly poisonous. The lord did not commit suicide by falling into the river and died, but was thrown off the cliff after suffering from a poisoning attack!"

Empress Dowager Hu raised her voice, "What do you mean by that?!"

Yuan Tong said: "When I was in Luoyang, the prince's health was not very good. The doctor was sure that it was a secret poison in the palace. We didn't have an antidote. The emperor would definitely not give the prince an antidote if he poisoned you. That's why the prince embraced him and begged for death." Heart. He doesn't want to implicate me, fabricate the illusion of our discord, and then force me and A Song to leave... I wanted to take this secret into the coffin and be a widow for the prince for the rest of my life. .”

Hearing that the emperor poisoned people, Empress Dowager Hu was horrified, she glanced at the Buddha statue, and silently recited "Amitabha", thinking, I will protect you, who will protect Aijia.She hates the emperor for killing her younger brother, but she is just a queen mother in the deep palace, and even the glory of this "queen mother" is bestowed by the emperor.

She helped Yuan Tong up, choked up and said: "My good boy, it was the Ai family who wrongly blamed you for having the Yuan family. The emperor is sorry for Fan'er in this matter, but it's done, so forget about it."

"What should I do if my son can't forget? My son is anxious all day long and can't sleep or eat well."

"Calm, you will forget it after a long time. From now on, you can follow Ai's family to copy the scriptures. Since you have converted to Buddhism, the emperor dare not touch you."

Yuan Tong prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Shu Erchen cannot follow orders."

Empress Dowager Hu frowned and said coldly: "Why?"

Yuan Tong cried: "I have only recently found out that there is flesh and blood of the prince in this abdomen, but it is also contaminated with the poison of the prince. The doctor said that although the toxicity is shallow, if you don't take the antidote, you will be born stillborn. I dare not Seek justice for the prince, but please save this child, the queen mother loves the prince the most, how can she bear to see the prince die."

"You said it, but it's true?!"

"Really, the only one who can help Erchen is the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Hu said: "What should the Ai family do to make the emperor hand over the antidote."

Yuan Tong said: "It's actually very simple. There are tea leaves made of poison here. As long as you unknowingly put the poison on your majesty's favorite concubine, your majesty will definitely use the antidote to save her."

Empress Dowager Hu stared at Yuan Tong, and said for a long time: "After a few years of experience, you will be able to use some tricks."

"The son-in-law is also forced by the situation."

"Forget it," Empress Dowager Hu rubbed her brows and eyes, "Aijia's birthday will be in a few days, so let's do as you said, be careful."

"After thanking my mother, the prince's spirit in heaven will definitely thank you."

"Aijia is tired, let's go down."

Yuan Tong retreated to the side hall, a sharpness flashed in his eyes.

In a blink of an eye—————————————

——When it came to the birthday of Empress Dowager Hu, the emperor was always confused, and he never acted vaguely.The birthday banquet brought together the important officials of the court and the central government, and the hall was very lively with singing and dancing, drinking and drinking.

On this day, the emperor was finally willing to leave the Tongque Terrace, and the officials finally saw the emperor, but no one dared to mention the frequent minor turmoil in the imperial capital in recent days, for fear of spoiling the emperor's interest.

Disasters naturally cannot be placed in a peaceful hall.

The emperor still sat in the main seat, and the Queen Mother sat on the left, very close to the emperor.According to the rule, the emperor's right side should be the empress's seat, but because of some ulterior motives, the empress was grounded, and the one sitting on the right side today is the emperor's favorite left empress Feng Shi.

The sitting method of the officials under the seat is also very particular. Yuan Song has a great reputation recently, but in the emperor's camp, his position is very low, so he was deliberately arranged in the middle position.

Yuan Song was not annoyed, and took his seat very happily. His eyes swept across the high platform inadvertently, and when he realized that someone was looking at him, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the food table three times, indicating that everything was ready.

Empress Dowager Hu didn't like the Queen, but hated Feng Shi even more. She thought, this southern slave is just a concubine whom Feng Jian doesn't pay much attention to. To be a nobleman is already humiliating the face of the royal family, how could he be promoted to Concubine Shu, and now he is conferred the title of Queen Zuo who is the same queen!

Empress Dowager Hu decided that even if the emperor took out the antidote, she would not give Feng Shi a cent!

Empress Dowager Hu waited for a long time, and after the emperor and Feng's wine had three cups, she still didn't see Feng's poisoning. She was puzzled, "Could it be that Yuan Tong's arrangement was wrong?" Tongdao: "Feng Shi is extremely cautious. He completely follows His Majesty's diet, and his sons and ministers have no way of attacking them."

Empress Dowager Hu nodded and said: "I have to dirty Aijia's hands." She said to the old maid beside her: "Fortunately Aijia is prepared, you bring the old wine from my palace collection to Your Majesty and Mrs. Chen, remember to give the year The old altar is for Mrs. Feng."

Yuan Tong said with a smile: "The queen mother will definitely make my son get what he wants."

The emperor here was already drunk, and suddenly he smelled a strong fragrance. He took a closer look, and it turned out that the old man in the empress dowager's palace had brought the wine.Mrs. Chen took the wine, and softly drank the old palace man who was about to leave: "Hey! You foolish servant, how did you get me and Your Majesty's wine upside down!"

"Oh, what does Aifei mean by that?"

Feng Shi chuckled: "Please look, Your Majesty, the date of brewing is engraved on the bottom of this jar. The one in the hands of my concubines is ten years better than that of Your Majesty. This is a great mistake. All good things in the world belong to Your Majesty. Naturally, the good wine should be given to His Majesty, and the concubine will be drunk after drinking it."

"You're the only one with a sweet mouth." Seeing that Feng Shi had already poured a drink, the emperor had no doubts about him.

It may be because of the beauties persuading him to drink. The emperor found that he was very happy and powerful today. After drinking a few glasses, he became more greedy for what was in the glass. Empress Dowager Hu's wine jar was too small. Shi responded and fell on the case.

The ministers jumped in shock, and the hall was filled with shouts of "come" and "there is an assassin".

The old palace maid who delivered the wine had her hands and feet broken by the imperial guards, she pointed at the emperor with her deformed fingers and said, "Your Majesty, you can taste the tea!"
