The war in the North is going on in full swing. Su Ren has made all preparations and is just waiting for the arrival of the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces at the last moment. Therefore, the North appears to be extremely quiet. However, Chang'an, thousands of miles away, is completely
It's a mess, it's a mess.
Princess Guantao, who had not been in the palace for a long time, suddenly appeared in the residence of the Queen Mother in Renshou Palace. The moment she saw the Queen Mother, Princess Guantao cried like a tearful person. She hugged the Queen Mother's feet and burst into tears.
It was sad. The Queen Mother felt very happy. When he was still a beautiful lady, in order to let his son Liu Che come to the throne, he often fawned over the Taoist priests and gave away everything he could, including gold and silver. Dignity had no meaning at that time.
.Looking at how Princess Guantao looks now, she looks so much like herself back then.
"Ahem!" Tian Fu coughed: "Eldest Princess, please get up? If you have any grievances, how can you get the Queen Mother to help you if you just keep crying?"
The Queen Mother also said quickly: "Yes! Give the eldest princess that cushion quickly. We sisters have seen each other for a long time, and I really miss it! Go and have someone prepare some food and wine. I want to have a few drinks with the eldest princess."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Princess Guantao stopped crying and wiped her tears.
Princess Pingyang sneered: "Aunt, you haven't been in the palace for a long time, why did you come suddenly today? Have you encountered any difficulties? Tell us about it to make us happy."
The Queen Mother glared at Princess Pingyang: "Damn it, did you talk to the eldest princess like this?"
Tian Fu glanced at Princess Pingyang and showed an approving expression: "Yes! The eldest princess is crying so sadly. Something big must have happened. Although my sister rarely interferes with government affairs, she still has to take care of family affairs. Your Majesty also
Very filial, Your Majesty will still listen to the Queen Mother as long as it is not related to state affairs."
Princess Guantao held back her tears, her voice choked with sobs, and she knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop: "Your Majesty, save me!"
The Queen Mother was startled. A person who was usually very tough actually humbled herself so repeatedly. It seemed that she had encountered something serious: "You two, help the eldest princess up quickly! Hurry!"
Princess Guantao knelt on the ground and refused to get up. Princess Pingyang and Tian Fu pulled for a long time but did not pull: "The Queen Mother, not the minister. I have no intention of harming Your Majesty. It's all them, they did it all!"
Hearing that someone was trying to harm the emperor, the Queen Mother, Princess Pingyang and Tian Fu couldn't sit still and immediately asked: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
Although Princess Guantao is domineering, she understands one truth. She is the daughter of the Liu family. As long as the Liu family reigns for a day, she is the princess. Even if she is a princess who is worse than a chicken, she can't be provoked by anyone who wants to.
. If one day the Liu family's empire is over, she, the princess, will naturally be nothing. Not to mention that the people she has offended in the past will not let her go. It is hard to say whether she can survive with her own abilities.
Princess Guantao is a smart person, and he can see what kind of person the current emperor is. Even if the emperor is fatuous, there are smart people behind him. Apart from anything else, Su Ren can't just scratch and rub him whenever he wants.
Lord. Nothing has happened in Chang'an City now. If something does happen, Su Ren has a large army in his hands. As long as King Qin calls out, let alone how powerful the people in his house are, they are even considered bugs in front of Su Ren's army.
No. The Huns are powerful, right? How are they now?
Therefore, Princess Guantao made a decision. He wanted to report the matter. And he wanted to report the matter before it happened. This way, he could at least get himself out. Even if he was really implicated in the end, he would have something to say by then. If it was true,
If she follows others, she will definitely die without a burial place and will also be ruined. This is not what Princess Guantao wants.
He told the Empress Dowager, Tian Fu, and Princess Pingyang everything he knew without missing a beat. Among them, he naturally described himself as a victim, someone who was forced, forced, and exploited.
Role.
"You bastard! A little visitor can be so vicious!" After hearing this, the Queen Mother was furious: "What does Tingwei Mansion do? Are all Zhijinwu dead people? Just after Your Majesty left, such a big thing happened in Chang'an City.
They turned a blind eye? And what are those nobles and nobles going to do? Rebellion! Go and call Tingwei and Zhijinwu to me. I want to ask them if they are comfortable with the salary from the imperial court."
"Sister, calm down, I'm afraid this matter..."
"You! You are too timid to take on the big responsibility. No wonder His Majesty doesn't like you as Prime Minister!" The Queen Mother glared at Tian Fu: "By the way, Dou Ying is also here for me! I want to see what he is like.
How did you become the prime minister!"
In a short time, Prime Minister Dou Ying, Ting Wei Zhang Tang, Wei Wei Guan Fu, Yu Shi Wang Hui, Sikong Ji'an and other officials of all sizes were gathered in Renshou Palace. Before entering the palace, Dou Ying
He met Zhang Tang and Guan Fu. The three of them looked at each other, and Guan Fu couldn't hold back his words: "What's going on? When did the Queen Mother..."
Zhang Tang said with a straight face: "This is strange and may not be a good thing!"
"What? You are saying that the Queen Mother wants to..." while His Majesty is away?
Dou Ying coughed: "You are talking nonsense again, when will you be able to control your mouth? After all, what happened last time?"
Wang Hui and Ji An also arrived in a hurry. Ji An, Dou Ying and others were also there, and they immediately felt that something was wrong. Wang Hui looked around: "Do you know why the Queen Mother summoned you?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Zhang Tang remained silent. Wang Hui asked Zhang Tang: "Does Lord Tingwei know?"
Zhang Tang looked at the people and said, "Students also guessed. Someone saw Princess Guantao's car driving into Renshou Palace in an hour."
"Princess Guantao! Could it be..." Guan Fu was shocked and almost spilled the beans.
Dou Ying took a deep breath: "Everyone, let's go! The Queen Mother summons us without delay!"
The Renshou Palace was built specifically for his mother by Liu Che last year. He sent someone to design the drawings for Su Ren. He used Gongshu's skills and used all the best materials. It can be said that no expense was spared and no effort was spared. The money spent was much higher than when Su Ren built it.
There are many more in Shuyuan Street. After it was completed, everyone who saw it said that the pavilions and pavilions are not surprising. The most amazing thing is that an activity venue was built. The Queen Mother can do activities here when she has nothing to do. There are many unheard of things.
Fitness equipment, anyway, according to Su Ren, these things are very useful. The most amazing thing is that since the Queen Mother moved into Renshou Palace, she has not even had a headache or brain fever in the past year. So the wealthy people in Chang'an have followed suit and built a fitness equipment at home.
Activity field, exercise when you have nothing to do.
As soon as the chamberlain entered, he heard the Queen Mother's high-octave voice coming from inside: "Let them in! If you don't give me an explanation when you enter, I will kill someone!"
With Dou Ying as the leader, everyone filed in. Before everyone could salute, the Queen Mother pointed at Dou Ying and asked, "Tell me, tell me first, what do you want to do?"
Dou Ying was speechless for a long time: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what we did wrong to make you angry. Please tell me."
"Huh! I still don't know at this time, Tian Fu, tell them what kind of chaos is happening in Chang'an!"
Tian Fu sighed and told Dou Ying and others the important things that Princess Guantao said. Dou Ying, Guan Fu, and Zhang Tang, who knew the inside story, had expressionless faces. Wang Hui, Ji, who didn't know the inside story,
An was really frightened. The two people had mouths and were stunned for a long time. Wang Hui's teeth chattered and chattered: "It's unheard of that such a thing happened. They are going to rebel!"
"Hmph! You, a royal censor, didn't even notice at all?" The Queen Mother was furious and pointed at Wang Hui: "If the eldest princess hadn't told me about entering, I wouldn't have believed it. What would you be doing? With the salary from the court.
Is this how you do things for His Majesty?"
"Queen Mother, calm down!" Dou Ying stepped forward and glanced at Princess Guantao: "Queen Mother, I have something to report, please step aside!"
"Tell me! Are there any outsiders here? Is there anything you can't say? I want to hear what else you have to say?"
"Queen Mother!" Zhang Tang also took a step forward: "This matter is related to your Majesty's plan. Please step aside and listen to what the Prime Minister has to say."
The Queen Mother saw that there was some secret here, and her anger just now was almost gone. She pondered a little: "Huh! You all go down, Dou Ying stays, I want to hear what you have to say!"
Tian Fu quickly waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. Only the Queen Mother and Dou Ying were left in the hall. They could no longer hide it, so Dou Ying told the Queen Mother Liu Che's plan and reiterated it.
This incident is not as simple as it seems. The court, the place, and even the people hiding in the dark are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Instead, they are very powerful. It is extremely difficult to kill them all, so now is not the right time to take action.
.
After listening to Dou Ying's report, the Queen Mother pondered for a long time: "Is this really the emperor's plan?"
"To the Queen Mother, I have absolutely no lies. Your Majesty, I, Zhang Tang, Guan Fu and others discussed this matter for a long time before coming up with this countermeasure!" Dou Ying sighed: "However, if Princess Guantao makes such a fuss today, I'm afraid
Some people have already gotten wind of it, and it’s no longer possible to catch them all.”
"Ahem!" The Queen Mother coughed to ease her embarrassment: "Then how can we remedy this according to the Prime Minister's plan?"
"The Queen Mother can only take action in advance! As for the other people, we can only investigate slowly."
"This Liu prostitute!" The Queen Mother immediately pointed the finger at Princess Guantao: "Instead of doing good things, she did something to harm our mother and son. It's really shameful!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Guantao did something bad this time out of good intentions. I don't think she should be punished too harshly. After all, she deserves credit for being the first to report her."
"Hey!" The Queen Mother sighed: "It seems that I am really old. Since the emperor and you have a plan, then you can do it yourself. When the emperor comes back, I will explain to him about Liu's prostitution...
Humph! Go ahead, I don’t care anymore!”
Ever since Dou Ying walked out of Renshou Palace, Chang'an suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes. The Ten Princes' Palace was not sealed, and the arrested people were queued out from Zhuque Street for more than two miles. Prisons such as Tingwei Palace and Weiwei Palace where mortals were imprisoned were hard to find.
If you don't have an identity, all those who have committed minor crimes will be kicked out and new prisoners will be sent in. There is even a joke circulating in Chang'an City that it is difficult to go to jail without an identity. (To be continued)
