The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 242 Water and fire

   In front of Tang Wanzhuang, Zhao Changhe could only put aside his relationship with the imperial concubine: "Where are you thinking, isn't it just because you look good, so you naturally look at it twice, it's human nature, human nature..."

  Tang Wanzhuang stared at him without speaking.

  Zhao Changhe carefully said: "Actually, I stared at you for a longer time, didn't you feel it..."

  Tang Wanzhuang glanced left and right subconsciously, and said with a blank expression, "Remember what you said before."

  It means to remind him that everyone has agreed that they are not interested in marriage, so don't go back on your word.

  Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes. He could flirt with each other in Gusu before, but it started again in Beijing. The skin is very tender, and I don't want to find others.

  Tang Wanzhuang ignored his expression, and continued to ask: "Looking at her is fine, is it natural for you to want to stay at the Huangfu's house?"

   "I have no place to live, can I live here?"

  Tang Wanzhuang: "..."

She found that she had no position to tear up, so she could only say: "Anyway, no matter whether you admit your identity or not, you are still a noble concubine. Even if you are just an ordinary grassroots person, you can't covet it. Be careful. And according to that identity, just Even…"

  Zhao Changhe was a little guilty, and said helplessly: "Where did you go, what are you doing today, every sentence is talking about this kind of thing, why don't you just look at it twice? Is this the angle that Tang Shouzuo should look at things?"

Tang Wanzhuang also felt that she had lost her composure, and adjusted her mood by lowering her head and sipping tea, before slowly saying: "Because I know that she is a so-called noble concubine, she doesn't take it seriously, and His Majesty doesn't take it seriously either. So I'm a bit paranoid. "

  Zhao Changhe became interested: "How to say?"

   Tang Wanzhuang hesitated for a while. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be casually told to others, but if this person is Zhao Changhe, is it considered a family matter in a sense? Or is it better to let him know?

  After hesitating for a long time, he finally said: "The Huangfu family is the general of the Northwest, and they didn't live in the capital. Since several young masters died in battle, His Majesty let Marquis Jingyuan return to Beijing to retire.

  Zhao Changhe said: "Afraid of high achievements? Or afraid that General Huangfu will lose too many sons, and his mentality will explode? It is said that he will return to the capital for the elderly, but in fact he is disarmed and returned to the fields to seize the military power. He also made people leave the garrison for generations and go to the capital to raise them in captivity."

"Maybe... a little bit." Tang Wanzhuang said that she didn't like it too much, and she stood up for the emperor: "But His Majesty has not killed any heroes so far, which is rare in history. It is really not very good for the Jiangmen's family to stay in the border for a long time... Moreover, the Huangfu family is a surrender of the former dynasty, so it is not incomprehensible to defend the emperor."

  The former dynasty... It was the first time that Zhao Changhe thought of such a concept. The Great Xia established the country for decades, and the concept of the former dynasty has faded away from the people. It has been a long time since I heard it.

   Having said that, it is quite normal for Miss Huangfuqing to have objections in the Huangfu family's experience, but the family doesn't know what to think. So she joined the Four Elephant Sect herself? I don't know if her father knows...Anyway, from the current point of view, at least Zhen Mosi doesn't know, otherwise Tang Wanzhuang wouldn't have such an attitude.

  He also declined to comment: "And then?"

   "It was actually more than ten years ago that Huangfu's family came to Beijing. At that time, Huangfu Shaozong was still wearing crotch pants, and Huangfu was in love with cardamom. At that time, he was really famous in the capital..."

   "Where were you?"

   "..." This question is indeed the precise entry point for solving several cases.

  Tang Wanzhuang didn't want to answer, but she could only answer blankly: "Traveling in the rivers and lakes...studying in Beijing."

  Zhao Changhe urgently suppressed his smile.

About the same age, about the same beauty, and about the same family background, I guess there is not much difference in talent and learning, maybe your martial arts are better than hers... Zhao Changhe has not thought that the Winged Fire Snake is Suzaku, otherwise even the martial arts is about the same .

  A girl from a water village is gentle and elegant, serious;

  A pillar of the imperial court and a traitor behind the scenes.

   Fire and water are simply incompatible, light and dark. It's not surprising that these two people have disliked each other since they were young girls. There is a high probability that this has become natural, and the entire capital is used to watching fun.

  Time flies, one has become the head seat, the other has become a noble concubine, and they are still tearing up...

If Zhao Changhe could connect Suzaku, he would know that the first thing Suzaku said when he saw Tang Wanzhuang was: "The name of Chunshui swordsmanship is a bit vulgar. Pretty or pretty."

  The little taste in those words is really incomprehensible to outsiders.

  Tang Wanzhuang's expression is not very good-looking: "What kind of expression do you have? Do you think I told you not to approach her because we can't get used to each other?"

Is not it?

  Zhao Changhe sat obediently, drinking tea with his head down.

  Tang Wanzhuang knocked on the table: "What does this matter have to do with me? It's about after the Huangfu family entered Beijing! Don't digress!"

   "Hmm, what then?"

Tang Wanzhuang stared at him for a long while, and finally got back to the topic: "Afterwards, there have been many wars with the barbarians, and the imperial court has suffered unsightly defeats, and many elite frontier troops have been ruined. The so-called some stupid tricks of your majesty in his later years have caused the world to Chaos, this should be considered one of the items. Jing Yuanhou couldn't sit still, and repeatedly asked to go out."

  Zhao Changhe said: "So sending my daughter to the palace is a way to reassure him? What can my daughter be reassured about? It's useless. It's not as meaningful as leaving Huangfu Shaozong to live in the capital."

   "Obviously, the real proton is obviously Huangfu Shaozong himself, not Huangfu Qing. I don't know if Huangfu Shaozong himself understands it."

   "...that is to say, there is no need for Huangfu Qing to enter the palace."

"Yes, it is unnecessary and meaningless. In this matter, it is very likely that Huangfu Qing and Jingyuanhou's family treat it separately... At most, it is better to let Jingyuanhou use the name of his relatives to lead troops, which is better than holding other people's sons It sounds good in Beijing, but I still think it's Huangfu's love for himself."

   "Is that because Lao Xia committed **** and forced her into the palace?"

"No, His Majesty hasn't been close to women for at least ten years, maybe even longer. He hasn't even picked a beautiful girl in the past twenty years." Tang Wanzhuang said seriously: "In fact, after practicing to the level of His Majesty's unity of heaven and man, I am no longer interested in these things. I have never seen anyone in the Tianbang who is interested, such as Cui Wenjing. Since Cui Yuanyang was born, he has never touched a wife or concubine. The reason why your majesty only has one Prince, this is also the reason. According to my dark thread in the inner palace, Your Majesty has not touched the queen for at least fifteen years. Maybe the matter of the Luo family is his last interest..."

   "..." Although it is consistent with the judgment of Huangfu's virginity, Zhao Changhe's CPU is about to burn again.

  Since entering the palace is meaningless to the Huangfu family, why is she entering the palace? To hook up with the emperor? The emperor is no longer close to women. It seems that there are many people who know it. It makes no sense that you don't know, and you still hook up with a hammer? And this kind of thing doesn't seem like what the Winged Fire Serpent's temperament would do.

   Deliberately entering the palace to make trouble for a certain purpose, such as plotting to assassinate the emperor, is reasonable. But Xia Longyuan couldn't justify it, since he didn't even choose a beautiful girl, why would he find a noble concubine again, because he thought he didn't have enough work? Maybe she killed your son, and you don't care?

   But it’s okay, this matter probably doesn’t need to burn your brains, if you ask Huangfu directly, she should be able to tell.

  Damn it's a big deal to exchange for joining a religion.

Tang Wanzhuang said: "In short, the relationship between your majesty and Huangfu is definitely not the relationship between the emperor and the concubine. It must be just a name, and they are cooperating for a certain matter. Perhaps your majesty's thoughts can be interpreted as promoting a noble concubine to beat the queen. , but I really didn't want to understand Huangfu Qing's purpose, and it is impossible to have a son, what is she planning? Assassination? In short, this woman is very dangerous, especially your identity..."

She paused, frowned and said: "You shouldn't have entered the capital. There is not much difference between your entry and the announcement of your succession. What does the Queen think, what does Huangfu Qing think, the attitude of the officials...His Majesty's own attitude. Here is the volume I won’t be able to deduce the troubles caused by it for a while, how could I enter Beijing at this time? It’s not the time.”

  Xia Chichi's shadow flashed in Zhao Changhe's mind, and he knew that his entry to Beijing this time was not entirely the result of a few words from Wing Fire Snake, and the reason for entering Beijing was not that important.

  The real reason is that Xia Chichi sighed, she felt that her father was going to die, but she didn't even know the situation.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "The Wang family is in trouble, I think the queen has given some serious information to the Wang family. I want to know the real situation of your majesty, so I will leave when I know. You said you have hidden clues in the inner palace, can you Give me a letter of approval?"

Tang Wanzhuang shook her head: "From my information, His Majesty's complexion is obviously okay. I don't know how the Wang family judged it. He even went to court this morning and sent additional troops to the south. There is no problem at all. "

  Zhao Changhe scratched his head, thinking in his heart that if you don’t let me get in touch with Huangfuqing, I’m afraid it won’t be possible, so you have to ask Huangfuqing about this anyway...

  Just as he was thinking so, a voice from Zhenmagic Division staff came from outside: "First seat, Mr. Huangfu is outside, saying that he invited Zhao Changhe to a banquet."

Zhao Changhe looked at Tang Wanzhuang pitifully, Tang Wanzhuang glared at him angrily, then shook his head and laughed: "Go, go, come, how long can you hide? Let's see if Jinghua Yanyun is like you Wish."
