In the evening, two eunuchs in purple robes came to the mourning hall of Princess Fan. One was Zhang Dali, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other was Li Quanfu, the eunuch who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the harem.
Tang Kuan quickly led the two eunuchs into the mourning hall. After all the etiquette, Tang Kuan led the two to the guest room to rest. Just as he was about to say something, he heard that the Duke of Jing came to express his condolences, and Tang Kuan trotted out to receive them.
There were only two eunuchs left in the living room.
The mourning hall for Concubine Fan had been set up for three days, but Tang Zhao, who was sitting in Anning Palace, did not go home to attend the funeral. What Tang Zhao was busy with in the palace was unknown to outsiders, but he sent these two eunuchs to express condolences for her.
Li Quanfu said in a low voice: "The emperor passed away before the princess's wedding was held, and the princess also passed away. This is really a national and family mourning. What do you think of this wedding? So the prince and a few elders passed away.
The prince discussed it and simply said that the princess's wedding had been held in the East Palace, but it had not been announced to the public. With the support of several old princes, the matter was settled."
Zhang Dali said: "If you call me Prince, if you hear me, I will slap you in the mouth or behead me in the worst case."
"Oh, look at my bad words, I should be called the emperor now." Li Quanfu smiled shamefully and said: "The new emperor's ascension to the throne is really drastic. In just three days, he killed more than a thousand people. This
Among them are two hundred members of the royal family."
Zhang Dali sighed: "I have no mercy on my own family members."
Li Quanfu came closer and said: "You said, it's enough to kill those who have opposed the prince. Why do you want to kill the palace maids and eunuchs? It is said that all the people around Queen Han were killed. Oh, poor girl Han Ju, then
But she is a great beauty. It is said that Emperor Tiande also likes her very much."
Zhang Dali sighed again: "We have been staying in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have never walked past the harem gate a few times. We don't know what's going on there."
Li Quanfu asked tentatively: "Aren't you in there now?"
"Oh, it's nonsense. You are not allowed to interfere in anything. You are not allowed to get close to the doors of Changqiu Palace and Anning Palace." Zhang Dali lowered his voice again: "Do you think it's strange or not, after killing so many people, Manager Hu is still here?"
exist."
Li Quanfu said: "Now it seems that he is also a princeling."
Zhang Dali said: "But I heard before that Hu Rong and Queen Han are very close, and there are also rumors that Queen Han wants to depose the prince and establish King Feng."
"No way?" Li Quanfu shook his head: "If that's the case, why don't you kill King Feng now? And even Han Tingjun didn't move. It seems that those are all rumors."
"Shh, stop talking, someone is coming."
In the past few days, Emperor Zhao Tian has really been killing people to the point of mercy. Although he does not need to kill people himself, the cinnabar pen in his hand is somewhat unable to draw circles. Especially those he has known for a long time.
You can immediately think of a person with a beautiful voice and a smiling face.
Those who could threaten his throne, or who had openly questioned the prince, must be eradicated. When killing them, Zhao Tian felt hatred in his heart. But when it came to the gang of palace maids, he could not be cruel. Especially those who
Han Ju, what a beautiful woman.
Such a good beauty was killed like this... Oh, I feel very sad. But his pen still drew a circle on Han Ju's name.
The true cause of Emperor Tiande's death cannot be spread. Anyone who knows the inside story, or who may know the inside story, will die. Except for the crown prince's absolute confidant.
In Anning Palace, Hu Rong, the chief chamberlain, walked in quickly, dusted himself off and knelt down: "Slave, please bow to your Majesty."
Zhao Tian smiled and said: "Mr. Hu has worked hard and made great achievements. He is now flat and will be given a seat."
"I don't dare to sit down, I absolutely don't dare."
Hu Rong lied to Queen Han, saying that Emperor Tiande wanted to kill her and the prince. Queen Han panicked, so she cooperated with Hu Rong to kill Emperor Tiande. In fact, the news that Hu Rong's family was killed was simply false.
It was an illusion created by the prince, specifically to deceive the eyes and ears of Queen Han.
With Hu Rong's martial arts, he could kill the emperor. But he said that he couldn't do it. So he asked Empress Han to use a rope to strangle her. Empress Han was trembling with fear and didn't have much strength in her hands. Emperor Tiande,
In fact, he was strangled to death by Hu Rong.
"Hey, if my father hadn't wanted to depose me, I wouldn't have made such a move." Zhao Tian said seemingly sadly.
Hu Rong immediately said: "This is no wonder, Your Majesty. It was the Prime Minister who deceived the late Emperor. The Prime Minister deserves to die!"
"Well, the Prime Minister really deserves to die." Zhao Tian nodded solemnly: "It is unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial to harm me."
"That is, that is."
"Hey, Hu Rong, what do you think my reign name should be?"
According to the Liang Dynasty's practice, the country's name would not be changed until the year after the death of the old emperor. Zhao Tian pretended to discuss the new name with Hu Rong, but suddenly the conversation changed: "Hu Rong, you are not young at all.
Okay. And I heard that Princess Changxia has liked you to play with her since she was a child."
"Uh..., yes, Your Majesty."
"I heard that Princess Fan has passed away, so Princess Changxia will soon become Duke An's second wife. I'm worried that the princess won't have anyone to care for her when she goes to the Duke's mansion, so can I trouble you to accompany the princess to the Duke's mansion?"
"this…"
"Why, are you inconvenienced?"
"No, no, it's very convenient for me. It's just that what Your Majesty asked me to do before..."
"It will be more convenient if you leave the palace, and it will be more hidden this way."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
How the emperor eliminates his dissidents has nothing to do with Su Ping. In short, he cannot eliminate his own fault.
As an important member of the princeling party, Anguo Gong Tang Qiong certainly received many rewards from Zhao Tian, but those rewards pale in comparison with Princess Changxia. This princess is a rare and beautiful princess.
At first, Su Ping thought that the princesses were all very beautiful. After all, most of the emperor's wives were beautiful, and generations of genetic improvements should make them better and better. However, the severe incest in the Liang Dynasty made the princesses not so beautiful. But this
The princess was born to Queen Han, and the Han family was not a traditional aristocrat, which really had an improvement effect.
The princess was only fourteen years old and married to the forty-nine-year-old Tang Qiong. Tang Mei also joked that next year, her stepmother would be fifteen and her father would be fifty, so their ages would be exactly the opposite.
Tang Kuan has been very busy in the past few days to prepare for the funeral of Princess Fan. At the Zongzheng Mansion meeting a few days ago, he also emphasized that various etiquettes can be done as easily as possible, but when it comes to him,
He seemed to have forgotten what he said about his father-in-law's funeral.
Moreover, he prepared the wedding for his father to marry the princess one month in advance. He really tried his best to do this, and he only had to prepare nine tins for his father.
It is worth mentioning that Princess Changxia also grew up in the house of Empress Tang. Empress Tang always had a style that no matter which concubine gave birth to a child, it would be hers.
Therefore, Princess Changxia is very familiar with Hu Rong, and the emperor has said that he only allowed Hu Rong to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a few years, but did not revoke his status and rank as a eunuch. When the princess is familiar with the life in the Duke's Mansion, Hu Rong will be asked to
Rong returned to Ouchi.
Concubine Fan passed away, and the family was temporarily without a mistress. Tang Mei took Grandma Wang, Zhen Ping'er, and Wang Jin'er back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu.
Qinxiang Xiaozhu is bustling now, and there is no shortage of manpower. Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er are familiar with the Sixth Miss. They even dare to joke with the Sixth Miss, and laughter can be heard from time to time.
And those maids in brocade clothes had turned their heads and looked even more eye-catching.
They were not very old, at least not in Su Ping's eyes. Seeing the beautiful girls chatting and laughing, Su Ping was willing to stay in Qinxiang Xiaozhu for a while. And now Tang Mei no longer drives away her family members.
The son-in-law left her house.
At dinner that day, Tang Mei heard about the wedding arrangements and was quite dissatisfied. She said to Grandma Wang, "Hu Rong is coming too? Isn't the emperor trying to plant someone in our government?"
Grandma Wang said: "Miss Sixth is absolutely right. The emperor has no good intentions. If not, I will go to the Duke and tell him about this matter. Otherwise, the Duke may leave tomorrow."
At this time Su Ping said: "Mother Wang, you also accompanied the princess to marry into the Duke's Mansion. Are you a person assigned by the royal family to the Duke's Mansion?"
Tang Mei stretched out her hand to pinch Su Ping: "I'm discussing a big matter with Grandma Wang. Do you want to talk more?"
Su Ping snorted coldly.
Tang Mei was even more annoyed: "Why are you humming? Pigs hum."
Today, Tang Mei unexpectedly invited Su Ping to sit on her couch and eat with her. This was the first time since Su Ping entered Qinxiang Xiaozhu. As a result, because she was sitting very close, Tang Mei
He pinched her hard. This woman was so cruel that Su Ping grinned.
Su Ping said: "Gong An is aware of this kind of thing. Moreover, many of the staff around him are knowledgeable and wise people. Why, those people are not as good as you? What you can think of, they can't think of? Want me
He said, you better not worry so much. Don’t do anything that offends others by talking nonsense.”
Tang Mei was puzzled: "Not to mention that I haven't gone to my father to talk about this yet, even if I did, who would I offend?"
Su Ping said: "I have offended Hu Rong."
Tang Mei said angrily: "He is a slave, so what can I do if I offend him?"
Su Ping's cheeks tightened and she glanced at Tang Mei. It was obvious that Tang Mei knew in her heart that doing so would offend others, but she refused to accept it and looked at Su Ping with a provocative look on her face.
Just saying that arguing with women is the most boring thing, Su Ping fell silent.
In fact, Su Ping didn't care whether Tang Mei had offended Hu Rong. What Su Ping cared about was the title of Su's father. If Tang Mei went to see her father and talked about Hu Rong first, this would not make An Guo Gong too happy.
But I don’t know what happened, but within four days of An Guogong’s return, Miss Six refused to see her father.
As a result, on the night of the fourth day, Duke An Guo left Luoyang because he was worried about the war in Longyou.
This is bad. If you want to talk to An Guogong about the title again, you can only wait until next month.
