Empress Han

King Lian was furious, grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it out, "Bastard, if it weren't for this king, these people would have starved to death long ago, and they can still beg for a living in Lian City? This king gave them protection , They just eat less, what can they do, they are troublemakers, they are all troublemakers."

"My lord, now the main reason is that we can't stand the internal troubles, and we are surrounded by the eagle army outside. At this time, if we are not stable internally, it is easy to cause trouble. So, can we open a warehouse and distribute some food and grass to these people?" If people starve to death again, even if they are not short of food, I am afraid they will not sit back and watch, and the situation will be terrible."

Xu Ran was also there, and replied, "Most of the soldiers in Prince Lian's Mansion and the soldiers we recruited are local people, and their family and relatives are here. The morale of the sergeant is high, but if the family member of the sergeant died, then the morale of the army may be shaken."

The corner of Lian Wang's mouth twitched, and he forced his anger back, "You think this king will not know, otherwise this king would have given those unscrupulous people a good knife. Is it really necessary to release food? You don't know, our preparations It was discovered too early and not enough, otherwise the king would have already released the food, so why not give them a chance to talk about the king secretly."

The two were silent, Zhang Cheng clenched his sleeves unnaturally, his face was hot, he always felt that every word was saying that he was not capable enough, but when Sima Liangdi died, he said that he would definitely destroy all The things between them and Sima Liangdi, even if they were sent in without telling Sima Liangdi, just because they wanted to prevent the prince from finding out, those things could continue to have an effect, otherwise would they attract attention?For the first time, Zhang Cheng was a little depressed. After all, if it was Zhu He who reminded him of this kind of thing, maybe the prince would pay more attention to it.

How could Xu Ran not understand that King Lian might not be able to get off the stage at this time, and his words became more and more irritating. At this time, Zhang Cheng was really difficult to answer, so he could only stand up, "My lord, it is useless to say these things now." Well, the unexpected situation is not something that would have happened if we didn’t think so. Now even if our food is in short supply, we still have to distribute some food. The shopkeepers have already fled, but it is impossible for any grain shop of this kind to have no food in stock, and our city was closed quite suddenly, so there should be no time for these grains to be transferred, so maybe we can see if there is any windfall."

Lian Wang's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he patted Xu Ran on the shoulder, "Well, you can still have it if you want it, just as you said, check the grain shop, by the way, Zhang Cheng, this king I was too anxious just now, I lost my composure, I lost my composure."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, his face couldn't see what he was thinking just now, he just said, "Mr. Don't move, unless we are really short of food to that point, but I believe that His Highness will be able to repel the Yingyang army and make Luoyang the tripod."

The last sentence can be regarded as saying that King Lian was in his heart, and the little grudge against Zhang Cheng just now disappeared, and he laughed happily, "This king must decide to go to Luoyang. You are all my right-hand men. When the time comes, Feng Hou Baixiang will never be exaggerated."

Seeing Lian Wang's high spirits, Zhang Cheng and Xu Ran suppressed the faint uneasiness in their hearts, looked at each other, and found that the other's face was not good-looking, but at this time, no one would touch Lian Wang's bad luck, and they responded in unison "Your Highness will win." Then he walked out of the palace gate without even meeting his eyes.

King Lian wanted to go to the top of the city to see how the defense was going. Although the city wall of Lian was high and wide, and there were several moats connecting it outside the city, the prestige of the Yingyang Army for so many years was not for nothing. Naturally, you should be confident in front of your courtiers Otherwise, who would risk their lives, but he also knew that if he didn't break out of the siege before the Yingyang army completed the encirclement and opened the opening, then when the emperor called other people, it would really be a sewn-up pocket and he would not be able to escape.But when I think about it, I started my own army, and I haven't written a call to action yet, so I always have a sense of being inappropriate, so I asked the left and right to find someone with the best Chinese pen in the city, and let him write the call to action.

It's a pity that this person seldom interacts with people. Several people stood around watching him write, and his hand holding the pen was shaking. How can he write colorful articles? However, I couldn't see it anymore, so I wrote a large piece of paper with a pen, counting down the weak emperor, the prince's incompetence, the invincibility of the outside world and the death of the inside, the continuous border troubles, the victims of starvation and starvation, etc., and then began to trace back to King Lian. His father and grandfather leaned on King Lian to be orthodox, and finally said that the emperor lost his way and King Lian should replace him.

King Lian was very satisfied with Xu Ran's proclamation, which was posted all over the streets and alleys, and let the hidden lines outside spread these in other places. There are still many hidden lines in the capital that have not been discovered. Part of it was to add some confusion to the emperor and the prince, and to delay the encirclement of other armies.

In the capital, the prince didn't know about Lian Wang's actions, so he went straight into Chenghui Courtyard after returning from the emperor's place, making the other people sour.

Zhengjun was looking at the account book, put down the book, brought a cup of hot tea, and waited for the maids to change the prince's coat before they sat down on the low couch.

Seeing that the prince was not angry or anxious, Zheng Jun was half-committed, and it seemed that he did not come to complain about Prince Lian's affairs.

The prince's fingers tapped on the couch, "Tomorrow, you can bring Mrs. Chenghou in. Chenghou's eldest son should also 'recover'. Since he looks good, the emperor intends to let him serve in the Imperial Forest Army."

Zhengjun immediately understood what the prince wanted her to ask for him. The wine and meat friends of Yulinjun and King Lian, the emperor's prince and Prince Lian, which side Chenghou would choose, the emperor and the prince could no longer tolerate Chenghou being a fool in the middle Now, you have to choose a side to stand on.

Once Chenghou can fall to the prince, then in the capital, King Lian will never want to make any waves. It can be said that the right time, place, people and everything are not taken.

The prince was so busy these days that he fell asleep directly in the front yard, tired both physically and mentally.As soon as Zhengjun finished talking about this matter, he felt light-hearted, and a sense of fatigue surged up, and there was no need to urge his eyelids, and he ran together by himself.

Zhengjun called the prince softly, "Your Highness, go to bed and rest."

The prince was half asleep and half awake, and was helped to bed by the government, and fell asleep after a while.

Zheng Jun walked out of the room, saw Hong Dan waiting outside, but didn't make a sound, waved Hong Dan to follow her to the mirror hall. Fang went to report to her, but the maids of the Sixth Division and the maids of other palaces had something to do, so they must not be allowed to walk back and forth in the inner courtyard.

After entering the Hall of Mirrors, Zhengjun asked, "What's the matter?"

Hong Dan replied, "Mother, do you still remember the death of Chen Meiren that you asked me to investigate? This time I saw a big fish."

"You girl, you are still playing tricks, tell me, what's going on?" Zhengjun raised his hand, and pushed the freshly brewed tea to Hongdan, "If it's really good news, this cup of tea will reward you , to be more specific, I will save my one or two servings of Gongchun tea later on for you."

Hong Dan pretended to be pleasantly surprised, "Oh, my lady is so generous today, the maid will keep your one or two tea leaves."

Zheng Jun was amused by Hong Dan's appearance, "You little brat, hurry up and say it."

"Yes, ma'am." Hong Dan hurriedly said, "Two days ago, the palace maid Yue Zhu who was serving Chen Shunchang was seriously ill with a cold. The maid felt that although Yue Zhu was not there when Chen Shunchang died, she must know something. But I was afraid that it was because of some reason that I didn't dare to speak, so I let people quietly stare at the moon bead. I didn't expect the moon bead to go after a cold wind and cold. Although the palace lady is sick, she doesn't need to go to the Tai Hospital, but a well-connected palace lady like her It's okay to get some jewelry and ask for some medicine, but I didn't expect that the more you drink the medicine, the more deadly it will be. Thinking too much is what killed her."

Zheng Jun was thoughtful, "Speaking of which, this is a very obvious murder to silence the public. This Yuezhu obviously knows something, otherwise the people behind the scenes would not use this method in a hurry, because they simply don't care about what will happen." It will get my attention."

"More than that, the things of Yuezhu should have been touched, but it is unknown what is missing, and the person who stared at Yuezhu reported that the person who saw Lan Yuxuan had seen Yuezhu before. It's a little court lady named Xiaoju, so the servants asked people to check Xiaoju, and they found..." Hong Dan paused, then said in disbelief, "It's Feng Shunchang."

Zhengjun was a little surprised, his fingers unconsciously grabbed the corner of his sleeve, kneaded it into a ball, and whispered to himself, "I didn't expect her to be dragged in, it looks transparent, so I was careless, what a beautiful snake, I don't know what it is I can take a bite at any time, is she the only one, and what is her purpose?"

Hongdan didn't dare to interrupt Zhengjun's train of thought, seeing that Zhengjun gradually came back to his senses, he asked softly, "What did you think of?"

Zhengjun rubbed his forehead with some headaches, "It's because I didn't expect anything that made me a little depressed. This matter is undoubtedly related to Feng Shunchang, but the relationship in her family is extremely simple, so it is very likely that she has an accomplice in this matter or she just wanted to do it. It's just an accomplice, but I don't know how many more can be dug out behind her. You can continue to investigate and keep an eye on her. As long as she moves, she can always find a flaw. The prince's recent experience is all in front. I'm afraid I can't take care of it, but I will never allow any troubles that I don't know to happen in this East Palace, let me investigate further, whoever makes me uncomfortable, I will make her unhappy."

Hong Dan went to arrange the manpower, the government asked the little maids to put the two tribute teas there, and the three big court ladies each rewarded a piece of silk cloth to tailor new clothes. During this time, there were many things, and the people around They followed her tightly from top to bottom, and there was no shortage of rewards. The rewards of the little maids and eunuchs were arranged by Hong Dan and Su Sheng, so she didn't need to worry about them.

She had thought too much just now, and she was also a little tired. Things had rushed together. Today, someone had to inform Mrs. Chenghou to let her enter the palace tomorrow. One night must be enough time for Chenghou's family to discuss and reach a conclusion.

Thinking of this, Zhengjun suddenly thought of a suitable candidate. The little maid Yuer she brought over from Chengqingyuan is now a second-class court lady. Compared with other little palace ladies, she is clever and loyal enough. Should be able to cope with Madam Chenghou's temptation.

Someone called Yu'er over, and looked at Yu'er's calm demeanor with satisfaction, she is a good seedling, and when Zi Ran is found again, the maids around him don't need to worry too much in a short time.

"You go to Chenghou's mansion with the signboard for leaving the palace, and say, let Mrs. Chenghou enter the palace tomorrow." Zheng Jun handed the signboard to Yu'er, who took it with her hand.

"Then empress, if Mrs. Chenghou asks the reason, how will the servants answer?" Yu'er returned to the original place.

Zhengjun thought for a while, "Don't say it directly, pretend to guess, and let her know quietly, just say, I just want to arrange a future for Chenghou Shizi. If she gives you something, you can keep it, don't give it to me." It is." Seeing Yu'er wanted to refuse, "Even if you don't need it, just keep it for your younger brother. Now he is considered a scholar, too shabby, and he can't always hold his head up."

Yu'er had no choice but to agree that if it was her own, she would definitely not want it, but when it came to her younger brother, she could only accept the words of the ruler, and decided that this matter must be done by the Crown Princess. .
