Chapter 93 The forces of foreign relatives are about to appear
The residences of Queen He and Prince Liu Bian are located on the west side of Fanglin Garden in Beigong.
Since he poisoned the noble Wang Rongwang, Liu Hong has never been lucky enough to see Queen He again. This is not because Queen He has lost her enchanting charm in the past, but because Liu Hong still holds a grudge against her in his heart, and he is resentful for a while.
It's hard to go away, so it's been delayed for months and months, but it just won't come.
Since Empress He gave birth to her child, she has maintained the same beauty, her figure is still graceful and charming, and she has a more mature charm than before she gave birth to her child.
This pig-killing girl who was born into a wealthy family has always believed that as long as she is given another chance, she can still reunite with Liu Hong, regain her husband's love for her, and serve Liu Hong like a pig.
However, although the butcher girl still has a high heart, no one else understands her. In the year when Liu Hong ignored Queen He, most of the servants in the palace also began to deliberately alienate Queen He, especially those who were surrounded by people in the past.
Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others beside her have almost disappeared in front of Queen He this year.
Especially Guo Sheng, who is still a fellow villager of her He family. Did she enter the palace through her own family or through his way? Now that things have come to a close, she is still alienated from her. How can a fellow villager be so unreliable?
This made Queen He, who was not particularly smart, feel quite resentful.
When I take over the power of the He family in the future, you will definitely regret it!
But although Sha Zhumei'er has a big heart, she is really a little narrow-minded. This is really no wonder for Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. After all, the lessons learned from the previous Empress of the Song Dynasty are clearly visible in Liu Hong's view of Empress He.
Until her attitude is completely clear, it is best to keep some distance from her.
And it's no wonder that the eunuchs looked down on her. In their eyes, although Queen He's appearance and figure were attractive, her cultural heritage and wisdom were somewhat lacking, and she was too jealous, giving people the impression of being big-hearted and brainless.
A woman usually loses her power, and no one can be sure of what she will do. It is right to stay away from her during this period.
But on this day, the situation changed.
Lu Qiang, who had just been granted a title by Liu Hong, brought a group of young eunuchs and brought food, clothing and utensils for the prince to 'visit' the queen and prince.
"Your Highness, if you have anything to do, just ask."
At the same time, he also promoted the relatives of the eunuchs and a group of students from the Hongdu School and appointed them to local places to expand the bargaining chips in his hands.
He later did not expect that at the stage when she was the most ignored by His Majesty and the most speculated upon, the person who came to visit her was actually not Zhang Rang, not Zhao Zhong, and not the fellow countryman Guo who introduced her to the palace.
win.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, Your Highness is so complimentary."
Lu Qiang solemnly said: "That's right! Alas, the old servant is old and soft-spoken. I can't help His Majesty with serious matters. I can only do some small things to entertain Your Majesty, so that His Majesty can feel happy and manage the affairs of the country better."
But this Lu Qiang, who had nothing to do with him in the past!
"Lu Wengweng!"
"Hey, no, no, this is against the rules. Your Highness will kill this old slave."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. In fact, this old slave has also heard from people recently that the Queen is the emperor's direct descendant and the head of the palace concubines. She should ride with His Majesty in the same carriage when going out and sit in the same seat when entering. The people of the Sixth Palace will be in harmony with Your Majesty.
The father of the world and the mother of the world maintain the regulations of the harem and supervise the order in the palace. Only when your majesty and the queen are in harmony can the country be straightened out and the country can make decisions. If the emperor and the queen are not in harmony, the family and the country will not prosper and it will be of no benefit to the country.
"
Queen He's educational level can only be said to be barely adequate. At best, she is literate, but she can still hear some good words.
In Liu Hong's eyes, being 'incorruptible' is not a reflection of loyalty, only being 'obedient' is loyalty! A minister should not put the cart before the horse.
Queen He nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, I really want to trouble Lu Qing about something."
The pig-killing girl's thoughts are so simple. Based on this alone, she feels that Lu Qiang is a good eunuch, better than other eunuchs.
…
When Queen He heard this, she was even more satisfied with Lu Qiang.
But what Lu Qiang is doing now makes Queen He feel that he is very reliable and a loyal minister.
Apart from getting so many women for His Majesty every year, you don't know how to do anything serious?
But no matter how dissatisfied Queen He was, Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and the others could not stop this way of pleasing Liu Hong.
"How can Lu Qing's kindness to my mother and son be equaled by a shout? Just scream!"
He personally came to visit his mother and son with various expenses. Although it was in the name of visiting the prince, it still made Queen He feel very happy and very grateful at the same time.
Lu Qiang smiled faintly: "It is said that he is your Majesty's newly appointed Yueqi Colonel Liu Jian. Your Majesty recognizes him as his younger brother. In recent days, this person is relatively well-known in Luoyang."
How can a eunuch put all his treasure on one woman? Even if the woman is a queen.
It is impossible for the emperor to suffer losses in vain. The famous families know this, the scholars know this clearly, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also know this.
Although Lu Qiang's behavior also encouraged Liu Hong to play with women, at least he would not add more women to Liu Hong, nor would he introduce more enemies from outside the palace to Queen He.
After saying that, Queen He patted Liu Bian's head and said, "Quick, call Weng Weng."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. If there is an opportunity to bring about a reunion between Your Majesty and Your Highness, and a reconciliation between husband and wife, I will do my best."
The reason is very simple. Lu Qiang thought that his virtue was not worthy of the position, so he refused the position of marquis to show his loyalty to the public, but this was not the best policy for him personally.
Seeing this, Lu Qiang hurriedly bowed to the ground: "The old slave is a servant of the Heavenly Family, and he is a servant of His Highness. How dare you be a servant and thank your master? Your Highness is asking this old slave to die."
Lu Qiang said: "If your highness needs anything in the future, you only need to send someone to inform the old slave. As long as it does not violate the palace's prohibitions, the old slave will handle it for your highness."
Hehou touched Liu Bian's head and lamented: "Since his birth, Bian'er was sent to a Taoist family to be raised by your majesty. He did not return to me until the year before last year. Although this child was born into a noble family, he had a difficult life.
As my mother, not many people really care about him. It is also a blessing for Bian'er to have Lu Qing give gifts and ask for help in times of crisis. It is also appropriate for him to thank Zhongchang in person, in this deep palace.
It is truly a great blessing for me, mother and son, to have such a loyal and loyal person as you."
Yes, Lu Qiang is now at the end of his term.
Lu Qiang smiled knowingly after hearing this.
Queen He said: "I heard that in the recent period, the affairs of the West Garden Ayame, as well as His Majesty's daily entertainment, have all been shouldered by the Standing Attendant?"
Queen He was overjoyed when she heard this: "If it can bring harmony between my husband and my wife, I would like to make Bian'er regard Lu Qing as his father-in-law."
The jealousy of the butcher girl was particularly strong, and her eyes were like the eyes of a needle, otherwise she would not have poisoned Beauty Wang. All the colorful girls in the North Palace, whoever saw Queen He, would feel a chill down their backs.
Liu Jian told him that loyalty and devotion to the public are of no use to His Majesty. Your behavior in His Majesty's eyes is not considered loyalty, but a great disobedience!
Whether or not your virtue is not worthy of your position is something you don’t need to think about. The emperor doesn’t know much better than you do?
When it comes to virtue being incompetent, the emperor among the Manchu dynasties was the first to be blamed. Would he care about this?
Originally, the emperor wanted to make Lu Qiang, Zhang Rang and others a marquis together. Lu Qiang wanted to refuse, but after Liu Jian's suggestion, he finally accepted the title.
"Your Majesty has been attracting beauties from local prefectures and counties over the years. The palace has been spending a lot of money. The old slave has come up with some ways to entertain himself so that His Majesty can accept less beauties. In the eyes of the old slave, this can be regarded as being loyal to the country.
Bar."
Such honest people are rare in the palace these days.
He was granted the title of Duxiang Marquis by Liu Hong, and from then on he became a prominent member of the family.
He Hou said with a smile on his face: "Lu Qing, why are you doing this? Please get up."
According to what Liu Jian said, the emperor could not pardon some party members for free. This time the emperor pardoned the party members from the ancestors down, and in exchange, Liu Hong generals Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Lu Qiang
Wait for all the eunuchs to be granted the title of marquis.
"It's about His Majesty... Alas, His Majesty doesn't come to my place now. It's just that he resents me, but Bian'er is his prince after all. How can a father not see his own child for a year and a half? Please do so.
Lu Qing, please help me and find an opportunity to try to get Your Majesty to come."
"I wonder which loyal minister said these golden words?"
After accepting the things Lu Qiang sent, Queen He summoned the prince Liu Bian, who was less than seven years old, and asked the prince to thank Lu Qiang in person.
Although Queen He was introduced to the palace by fellow countryman Guo Sheng, in addition to Queen He, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang and others would continue to introduce other beauties to the palace every year for Liu Hong's pleasure.
This made Empress He upset, and it was also what made her most dissatisfied with people like Zhang Rang.
After receiving Liu Jian's advice, Lu Qiang finally accepted the title of Marquis from Liu Hong, just like Zhang Rang and others.
Lu Qiang managed to get up and stood beside He Hou and Liu Bian.
Queen He was stunned when she heard this.
It turns out that he is still a member of the royal family and has far-sightedness!
Regardless of whether what Lu Qiang said is true or false, this person still needs to keep it in his heart!
Such a far-sighted and distinguished person is still a member of the Han clan, so the He family must make good friends with him.
When I find an opportunity later, I must ask my brother to pay him a visit.
