"For example, in North Xiamen, Lazao wants to destroy itself and cannot be supported by a tree."
After Guan Ning died in prison, not only did the former Taiwei Zhu Jun die in anger, but it also aroused the indignation of many scholars. They hoped to use this to investigate Tingwei's fault, and Tingwei Shejian was a close confidant of the emperor. Criticizing Shejian is tantamount to directly provoking the emperor.
However, in this situation, Dong Cheng was afraid that the situation would be unfavorable to him, so in order to protect himself, he resigned to the Quotations and was unwilling to take responsibility for Guan Ning's death. As a result, the emperor seemed unable to withstand the pressure in the past two days and shot Jian resigned from his post and was demoted to Taixue as a doctor to avoid the limelight.
After this incident, the emperor suffered a loss first and became even more dissatisfied with Dong Cheng. Later, Cao Cao was born, Liu Yu entered the court one after another, etc. It can be said that this incident was not an indirect result.
Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace.
The disputes in the court were turbulent, and it was not easy in the court. Because Empress Dong and Fu Guiren were pregnant one after another at about the same time, this brought a lot of pressure to Empress Dong. Especially when she saw The emperor went back to visit Fu Guiren from time to time, and even played with the emperor's eldest son Liu Xi, who was nearly one year old.
Empress Dong didn't think there would be any chance of regaining power in the Song Dynasty, but the sudden rise of the Fugui people still made her feel the crisis. Then she learned that Zhen Mi often took Wu Ran to look for Fushou and looked after Liu Xi, and she seemed to be isolated. Empress Dong could no longer sit still.
"Go find that Du family today and let her be prepared." Empress Dong stroked her bulging belly, basking in the sun in the courtyard, and said lazily: "A person like her can be favored by His Majesty. , is her blessing."
Chang Yu, who was standing behind him, was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, this Du family is clearly from..."
"I know where she came from." After so long, Empress Dong had already figured out the details of the people around her. She knew that Du was the one who got her father into trouble in the first place, and she had to rely on her to solve the trouble in the end. Originally, Empress Dong wanted to make the other party disappear silently after the incident was over. This was the best way to avoid future troubles, but then somehow, by some strange combination of circumstances, Du Shi still stayed by her side.
Empress Dong remembered the reason she had found out and couldn't help but sigh. If Chang Yu hadn't asked Chang Yu to look for women who had given birth, how could Chang Yu have accidentally let Du Shi sneak in. Remembering that she had recruited women before, It didn't have any effect. On the contrary, Du Shi brought "blessing" to herself as soon as she came. Maybe there really is something in this.
Pregnant women are the most sensitive and thoughtful. She knows that her body cannot please the emperor at the moment, and she can only rely on the beauty of others to attract favors. On the other hand, looking at the beauties around Fu Shou, it seems that she can only come up with one Du Shi?
"Who doesn't want wealth and honor in this life? Isn't it better to be the emperor's concubine than the wife of a petty official?" Empress Dong said in a calm tone: "I heard that the man named Qin was seriously injured and disabled after returning from Liangzhou. The family is in decline, and Mrs. Du has been in Jiaofang for so long. Would she still be willing to go back to eat the chaff? Even if she was willing, she would be willing to see her boy live in mediocrity for the rest of his life and just be a small official from now on? Go and talk to her about the pros and cons. She will listen."
"Jinnuo." Changyu agreed.
Empress Dong did not look back at the other party's expression at this moment. She seemed to know what the other party was complaining about: "After the prince is born and he reaches full age, you can leave the palace."
"Your Highness..." Chang Yu said in surprise.
Empress Dong said slowly: "I asked Aweng to find you a Marquis Duting as your husband. He is currently guarding Bingzhou. You two can meet in the coming year."
Chang Yu was plain in appearance, and after seeing Empress Dong's methods, she had no interest in the palace. She just wanted to be a married woman. From before to now, she was afraid of the Guo family because she had no arrangements for her future affairs. The Du family fought with her for power, and now she got
Empress Dong gave her complete assurance, and her anxious heart dropped: "I thank you, Your Highness, for your support..."
It was not difficult for Empress Dong to appease the people around her with a promise. She listened to Chang Yu's gratitude in her ears without saying a word. She just looked down at the sunshine at the end of April and felt the new life pregnant in her belly.
Nowadays, the Dong family seems to have unlimited glory, but Empress Dong often has unspeakable fear in her heart. Perhaps a woman during pregnancy always has a sense of worry. She often wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night, breaking out in a cold sweat. Maybe she is afraid at the moment.
The power and position of his father Dong Cheng and himself are not enough to make the Dong family truly stable. If you want to feel safe, you can only rely on...
"Is what you said really effective?" Empress Dong turned her head slightly and asked.
Chang Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Everything that I have heard about is efficacious. After all, the country is different from ordinary people, so it must..."
"Okay." Empress Dong interrupted her words with a wave of her hand, and stood up slowly while holding her belly. Chang Yu immediately went over with several palace servants to help her. Her body became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't even walk a few steps.
Support.
During this period of time, the emperor had been staying in Zhen Mi or Wu Ran's palace, and only came to visit him every once in a while. Empress Dong knew that the emperor was full of energy and some needs were unavoidable, so after all preparations were made for this day,
She then waited for the emperor to come.
As usual, the emperor asked her a few questions tepidly, and Empress Dong answered them one by one. When she went to bed, she brought Du from the side with a shy face and did not dare to raise her head.
"This is..." The emperor raised his eyebrows.
"I know that Your Majesty is interested, and these days..." Empress Dong pursed her lips, and said quickly, taking Du's hand: "This woman's family background is relatively innocent, and I offer her now to comfort the Holy Bow.
"
The emperor looked at Du's beautiful red face, nodded and asked, "What's her name?"
Empress Dong pushed Mrs. Du, who said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "My maid, Mrs. Du, is nicknamed Luofu."
"Duluofu?" The emperor repeated the name. Not knowing what it meant, he turned to look at Empress Dong: "You are serious."
Two days later, on the palace road inside the North Palace Gate, a group of carriages were parked quietly beside the road. The palace attendants stood solemnly, guarding the carriage in the middle. The outside was lined with red felt. This was the exclusive long carriage.
The princess's red carriage.
From time to time, there were sounds of children's laughter in the car, as if there was a restless child playing inside. After a cold female voice scolded the child, the child immediately stopped: "Okay, go on."
The ordinary-looking Zhonghuangmen stood outside the car window, bowing his body and lowering his head, as if he was hiding from others. He looked around nervously, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead: "Miao
I have brought all the words that the Lord asked the slave to take care of. His Highness just asked the slave to speak, and the slave has nothing more to say."
"You don't have to be afraid." Princess Wanzi said in a gentle tone in the car, as if she didn't want to be too harsh and scare her son: "You have to know that in this world, except for the emperor, no one will always stand at the top. So.
You don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen in the future. Once you’ve done something, why bother thinking about the consequences.”
"Your Highness taught you a lesson." Zhonghuangmen replied tremblingly.
Liu Jiang then asked, "Where did you see what you are talking about?"
