This was the first time that Lu Pheasant saw the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who was praised by the people all over the world and who seemed to have been reborn after being awakened by the First Emperor.
The rising sun casts endless brilliance on Hu Hai. Under the reflection of the royal robe woven with black gold, he looks down at the world and everyone like a god in the sky.
The light is dense, like a dream.
Li Yan and Lu Zhi, who stopped, were in a trance for a moment at the same time. Li Yu was because of Hu Hai's eyes, and Lu Zhi was because of Hu Hai's people.
Lu Zhi, who was distracted, suddenly felt a cold look fall on the high jade platform and stop on him. An inexplicable pressure instantly enveloped his whole body.
The look in his eyes was like a bucket of cold water, and Lu Pheasant suddenly came back to his senses with a jolt.
Emperor, you can look at it, but you must not stare stupidly like Lu Fei. Especially in this grand occasion where all the officials of the Qin Dynasty are present, countless eyes are focused on the emperor. She is a nameless and unknown person.
A woman of high status should not appear on such a solemn occasion. Although she can be regarded as the destined wife, Liu Bang has a small position as a doctor. On such occasions, she can only sit at the end of the list.
Looking at the emperor like this is already a grave sin.
Lu Pheasant's originally swollen and excited heart almost stopped beating the moment he noticed the emperor's eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover up his fear and panic.
Li Yan and Hu Hai's eyes only touched for a moment, and then they moved away. They calmed down and began to climb up the stairs with the help of Lu Fei. Behind Li Yan, there were Yu Ji and Li supported by sisters Long Bing and Long Xue.
concubine.
It would be impossible for the officials of the Qin Dynasty not to be surprised by the sudden appearance of Queen Li Ji.
After all, everyone knows that His Majesty the Young Emperor deliberately appointed the Imperial Concubine of the East Palace fifteen days before the Empress Registration Ceremony, and the Imperial Concubine of the West Palace has made it very clear that the Emperor is very interested in becoming the two most important concubines in the Qin Dynasty, second only to the Emperor and the Empress.
A woman's favor.
Although the Zongzheng Mansion and even the imperial court did not spend as much time preparing various etiquettes for this canonization ceremony as they did for the post-canonization ceremony, the emperor's edict to the people of Xianyang and the canonization of the two noble concubines in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace were enough to show his attitude.
For both emotional and logical reasons, Li Ji, as a queen, should not appear here. After all, although Li Ji had been appointed as the first queen of Qin Dynasty by imperial edict, she had officially entered the emperor's harem.
But it was just an edict. The emperor did not hold a registration ceremony for one day, and did not formally write Li Ji's identity into the royal family genealogy and seal it into the Zongzheng Mansion. Li Ji could only be the empress of Qin in name only.
The nominal Queen of the Qin Dynasty appeared at the ceremony where the emperor conferred two concubines. In the eyes of the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was no less than telling everyone that the Queen was competing for favor with the newly appointed empresses of the East Palace and the West Palace.
.
The look on the emperor's face when he saw Li Ji appeared was clearly visible to the ministers who were closer. Obviously, the emperor was already angry. Li Ji killed her first and then reported her presence in this way, which had offended her.
His Majesty the young emperor.
However, competition for favor in the harem was not uncommon in various vassal states in the past dynasties. Although the officials were surprised, most of them seemed to care about the matter as it had nothing to do with them. The only one who was worried was Li Ji's brother, who is now the right hand of the Qin Dynasty.
Prime Minister Li You and officials from the line of the late Prime Minister Li Si.
Of course, there was another person who was equally worried. However, he had a complicated state of mind that was a mixture of panic and excitement. That was when he saw his wife, who was supposed to be staying at the mansion, suddenly appear on the Queen's car and help the Queen climb up the jade steps.
He is the doctor, Liu Bang.
During Li Si's lifetime, he ordered his servant Ma Xing to deliberately approach or win over Liu Bang. At that time, Li Si did not know that the First Emperor had already informed Meng Tian about the fact that he and Zhao Gao were respectively in charge of the net.
, and Meng Tian told Hu Hai about this while escorting Hu Hai back to Xianyang.
At that time, Li Sixhang thought that everything he did was done without anyone noticing, and that he could have the capital to challenge the imperial power. He would naturally do anything to win over Liu Bang and even some other people.
However, the development of things is often unexpected.
Just when Li Si thought everything was perfect, just when Liu Bang thought he was hugging the Prime Minister's lap and was ecstatic, everything Li Si did was exposed in Hu Hai's face.
Immediately afterwards, Li Si committed suicide at home without any reason. Liu Bang also fell from heaven to hell.
However, although Li Si died, fortunately, the news of Li Youqian's appointment as right prime minister came shortly afterwards. Li Si's family finally found its core, and Liu Bang also began to frequently visit Li You through the deep friendship he had established with Ma Xing.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
The reason why he, a doctor, is so idle is because Liu Bang is unemployed. After the army was formed in the Bashang camp, and Hu Hai returned to Xianyang and was assassinated, and a series of other incidents, Liu Bang, a small doctor with a humble background, was never seen again.
Pass Hu Hai.
Compared with Liu Bang's miserable situation, Xiao He was promoted step by step and directly became the Grand Master and the official in the Wei Liao Mansion. Fan Kuai and Xia Hou Ying served as the generals of the White Tiger Army and the Qinglong Army respectively.
Even Zhou Bo, who died in an extremely aggrieved manner, was promoted to a noble title because he was already dead. His eight-year-old son Zhou Shengzhi took over Zhou Bo's title. Zhou Yafu, a capable minister of Emperor Wu who once shone brightly in history
It was also because Zhou Bo died early and could not appear in this world again.
Because Liu Bang could no longer follow the emperor every day and become a close official of the emperor, he was alienated by all the court officials who had tried their best to fawn over him. Fortunately, Li You still treated Liu Bang because of Li Si's relationship, which was a comfort to Liu Bang.
.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Si died. When Li Si and his officials were in panic, Liu Bang still tried his best to help Li Yousan brothers deal with Liu Bang's future, which can be regarded as winning the recognition of Li Yousan brothers.
And it is precisely because of this that when Queen Li Ju returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to honor Li Si, Lu Pheasant gradually became familiar with Li Ju. This can also be regarded as a long-term investment by Liu Bang.
However, Liu Bang seldom asked about the relationship between Lu Pheasant and Li Yu. After all, Li Yu was the queen of Qin. He was not something that a small doctor could pay attention to. But what Liu Bang didn't expect was that Li Yu appeared with Lu Pheasant today.
During the ceremony, although Lu Zhi appeared as an attendant, it was enough to show that the relationship between Li Yu and Lu Zhi was extremely close.
On the one hand, he showed the close relationship between his wife and the Queen of Da Qin in front of the ministers. On the other hand, what the Queen did today will definitely make His Majesty the Emperor angry. Therefore, Liu Bang, who stands at the end of the crowd, must be enjoying pain and happiness.
of suffering.
"Who is the woman next to the Queen?"
Seeing Lu Pheasant in black robe lowering his head like a frightened little rabbit, Hu Hai withdrew his eyes and stopped at Yu Ji and Li Fei who were following behind Li Yu, and said lightly.
Although Lu Zhi looks very young, she has the charm of a mature woman that is impossible for the maids in the palace to possess. You must know that the maids in Xianyang Palace must all be in perfect shape, and they must not be over twenty years old.
woman.
With just one glance, Hu Hai was sure that the woman next to Li Yu could not be a maid in the palace or a personal maid who usually served Li Yu.
"Your Majesty, the woman beside the Queen is a beloved member of the family of Master Liu Bang, the doctor, and she is called..."
"Lu Pheasant?!"
Before Ying finished speaking, Hu Hai had already taken over and said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I am calling you Lu Pheasant!" The emperor had obviously never met Lu Pheasant, otherwise he would not have asked himself who she was. However, what surprised Ying Yi was that the emperor had never met Lu Pheasant but knew Lu Pheasant's name.
, but he was surprised, Yingyi responded immediately.
"Since His Majesty returned to Xianyang Palace, he has never summoned Master Liu, the doctor. However, Master Liu seems to have had a long-standing connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion. During the period when the Prime Minister died of illness, Master Liu has been helping Mr. Right Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion to deal with the Prime Minister's future.
It was at that time that Mrs. Liu became acquainted with the Empress and stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion all day long. After the Empress returned to Xianyang Palace, the Empress often summoned Mrs. Liu into the palace to accompany her."
Ying Yi whispered and explained behind Hu Hai.
Liu Bang had been in contact with Li Si for a long time? And he also had a very good relationship with Li You? The most important thing is that Lu Pheasant seemed to often come in and out of the harem, which Hu Hai didn't know about.
"Why don't I know?" Hu Hai's voice became colder.
The faint words immediately made Ying, who was standing behind Hu Hai, break out in cold sweat. He didn't know how to respond.
It is not a secret in Xianyang Palace that the emperor does not like to see the empress. After all, before the empress became the empress, the emperor not only never stayed in the queen's palace at night, but also did not even meet her. At that time,
The Queen's Li Jealousy.
Most of the time, Hu Hai would hang out in Concubine Li's palace, or he would summon a group of palace maids and concubines to gather for sexual pleasure, or he would go to Afang Palace to hunt game and ravage several beauties from the Six Nations who were imprisoned in Afang Palace.
people.
Then the queen suddenly became the queen, and then the queen was moved out of Xianyang Palace and lived in the Summer Palace in Liangshan. Everyone knew that Xianyang Palace had enough palaces. If the emperor really wanted to make Li Ji his queen, he would definitely not make Li Ji his queen.
Li Yan's palace is sealed so far away.
Therefore, although the Dragon Guard is also paying attention to the people around the Queen, and even the Queen's every move, most of the time it is just to protect the Queen's safety. How could these things be reported to His Majesty the Emperor, who is known to not like the Queen very much? More
Besides, His Majesty the Emperor is always busy.
"I am aware of my guilt! Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Yingyi didn't know how to answer. Naturally, he couldn't tell the emperor what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to say it out loud. Although it was a secret that everyone knew and was not a secret, the only thing he could do was to take the blame.
on oneself.
"The punishment will be discussed another day. Let's find out how Liu Bang got acquainted with the Prime Minister's Mansion."
