Empress Zhang's father was named Zhang Bo, a dignified father-in-law of the current dynasty. He was given the title of Prince of Fenyang County, the school's inspector and the Minister of Etiquette, and a Grand Tutor. He basically had no actual position, but his status was very high.
Zhang Bo got the news that his youngest son had been kidnapped by the Helong Army and was going to Luoyang to be a dead soldier. He was so frightened that he rushed to the palace to ask for help. Of course he came to his daughter to ask for help. This kind of thing requires the daughter to come forward to ask the emperor.
Effect.
After Zhang Huanggong heard his old father's cry, he immediately understood that he had imprisoned Dugu Qiming, and the other party's revenge was coming.
And it was actually Li Ye who took action. The Dugu family is quite ruthless.
In fact, Empress Zhang just wanted to punish Dugu Qiming for her mistakes. She whipped her thirty times and imprisoned her for three days to vent her anger, and then let her out.
But I didn't expect that the Dugu family would take action so quickly, leaving no room for relaxation.
After much deliberation, Empress Zhang could only give in. She had no choice but to give in. Dugu Qiming was of no importance to her, but her brother was the treasure in her heart.
Thinking of this, Empress Zhang said slowly: "Father, go back first! I know how to deal with it. Shaoan went home in the evening. Let him move back to Chang'an quickly. He is just a woman. Is it worth being angry with his brother? He has to live in
In Xianyang, if something happens, no one will help him."
"Since you said so, I will go back and wait. Let's deal with it quickly!"
"Go for it!"
After her father left, Empress Zhang ordered people to release Dugu Qiming and her two maids from detention.
Dugu Qiming was whipped thirty times. The pain was so painful that she could not stand up. Many of her wounds were inflamed. Several palace maids supported her, but she lowered her head and said nothing.
Now that the Dugu family has found out, Dugu Qiming is worthless. Empress Zhang is too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and directly orders: "Send her back to Dugu Mansion!"
In the evening, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the Dugu Mansion. A group of servants ran up and lifted Dugu Qiming out of the carriage.
Dugu Lie urged repeatedly: "Quick! Quick! Carry it to the back house and ask for the imperial doctor."
Dugu Ming stepped forward and said, "Brother, do you think this matter will end here?"
Dugu Lie shook his head, "It depends on whether Queen Zhang is willing to give up after Zhang Shaoan is released? But I guess with Queen Zhang's arrogance, this matter will not end so easily. Everyone should be careful during this time."
The second brother said that he had entered the mansion, and Dugu Ming immediately sent someone to notify Li Ye to release him.
That night, Zhang Shaoan was sent directly back to his father's house in Chang'an by his servants. Although the city gate and square gate were closed, it had no effect on their relatives and dignitaries. Zhang Shaoan originally had a Chang'an pass.
Zhang Bo was already waiting in front of the mansion. When he saw the carriage approaching, he rushed to greet him. He was shocked when he saw his son being carried out. "What's going on? Is my son injured?"
Zhang Shaoan said with a weak breath: "Father, that bitch Li Ye caught me in the camp and ordered me to be beaten with fifty killing sticks. My buttocks and legs were all rotten."
The housekeeper opened a corner of the quilt to let Zhang Bo take a look. When Zhang Bo saw the bloody legs, he felt a pain in his heart and said quickly: "Hurry up and carry it into the house. Go and call the imperial doctor!"
The next morning, Empress Zhang received news that although her brother was released, he was seriously injured and could not get out of bed for at least half a year.
Empress Zhang immediately gritted her teeth with hatred. She had no enmity with Li Ye, but he dared to hurt her brother. This was clearly not giving her face and not taking her seriously.
Empress Zhang forgot that she whipped Dugu Qiming thirty times. Of course, Li Ye also wanted to give the Dugu family an explanation. As the son-in-law of the Dugu family, he could not make the Dugu family swallow their anger.
In the room, Queen Zhang was pacing back and forth with her hands behind her hands. She had never suffered such a big loss. The other party actually used blackmail to blackmail her and threatened her to let her go. She couldn't swallow this tone.
Empress Zhang has always been a narrow-minded, vengeful, and ruthless person. This time she suffered a big loss. No matter it was the Dugu family or Li Ye, she would never let it go.
The key is how to deal with them? Of course Queen Zhang will not take matters into consideration. She is unreasonable in this matter. After all, she was the one who imprisoned Dugu Qiming in the first place.
Empress Zhang needs to deal with the Dugu family and Li Ye in other ways.
Looking for another opportunity, Empress Zhang met Li Fuguo and said, "Ah Weng, I have severely punished Dugu Qiming for false information, but I was retaliated against. Do you know about this?"
"Our family has heard about this. Could it be that the Queen refuses to give up?"
Empress Zhang said coldly: "If Li Ye released my brother safely, I would forget about it, but he beat my brother seriously and I can't swallow this bad breath."
"Then what do you plan to do, madam?"
"I want to hear Aweng's opinion!"
Li Fuguo laughed gloomily, "We advise you not to provoke Li Ye for the time being. That guy is known as the Ksitigarbha demon. Your brother is lucky to have escaped from him alive. If you dare to retaliate against him at this time, I will punish you."
I guarantee that your father and two brothers will not survive."
"Does Aweng mean for me to hold back this bad breath? Forget it?"
"I mean, don't provoke Li Ye, but you can deal with the Dugu family!"
Empress Zhang understood immediately and said coldly: "You want to take advantage of me?"
"The Queen is serious. We have a common goal and should work together."
Queen Zhang said for a long time: "How to cooperate?"
"It's very simple. We are responsible for collecting evidence of the Dugu family's attempted rebellion, and the queen is responsible for blowing the whistle. As long as the emperor makes up his mind, the matter will be easy to handle."
"What about Li Ye? Let him go like this?" Queen Zhang asked coldly.
"Li Ye! The days are long. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, his end will come. I guess this day will not be too far away."
After a moment of silence, Queen Zhang asked: "How to deal with the Dugu family?"
Li Fuguo narrowed his eyes and said gloomily: "The first step is to remove the Dugu family from the soil on which they live. Our family refers to the army."
At night, Li Ye, escorted by fifty soldiers, rode into Chang'an City. He had a special pass, so even in the middle of the night, the Chang'an City defenders had to open the door for him.
He came directly to Dugu Mansion. Li Ye got off his horse and entered Dugu Mansion.
The three Dugu brothers were discussing how to deal with the eunuchs' second attack. When they heard that Li Ye was coming, they quickly invited him to the back house.
In the back hall, Li Ye sat down and asked, "How is Qiming doing now?"
Dugujun said with fire in his eyes: "That woman actually gave her thirty lashes. It was so cruel that her whole body was covered with bloodstains and she was not treated. After being locked up for two days, there were pus in thirteen places."
Dugu Lie said: "Xian son-in-law, I heard that you also severely injured Zhang Shaoan?"
"I beat him with fifty military sticks, but they were all flesh wounds, not muscles or bones. I also gave him thirty lashes from Qi Ming."
"Well played!"
Dugujun gritted his teeth, "It's best to break his legs to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Dugu Ming, who was next to him, said: "Aye, you must have something going on when you come so late!"
Li Ye nodded, "I will set off tomorrow morning, but I think I need to tell you again. Queen Zhang is not scary. What is scary is the eunuchs hiding behind Queen Zhang. They have their eyes on the Dugu family. With their
Greed should be focused on the Dugu family's money, and Bailian Villa has actually exposed their intentions, so I want to remind the Dugu family to be careful of the eunuchs who are like poisonous snakes."
Dugu Lie said slowly: "We have also considered this issue. The three of us were discussing just now. If the eunuchs attack us, where will they start? Do you have any suggestions?"
Li Ye nodded, "The first thing is to be careful not to cause internal problems. I guess the eunuchs still want to break through from the inside. The second thing is military power. We need to strengthen the protection of our eldest brother Dugu Jinyang. The eldest brother is the general of the heroic cavalry guard. He has the power in his hands."
With an actual army, he will definitely be a thorn in the side of the eunuchs."
Dugu Lie and the other three looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes. They had thought a lot, but they had neglected the military power. Fortunately, Li Ye reminded them in time.
