Chapter 634: Foreign Enemies Invade

The old lady continued to hate and said: "The old woman also scolded the old man and dragged out a lot of articles, saying that the prosperity of benevolence and righteousness leads to the prosperity of morality, and the prosperity of morality leads to the prosperity of politics. I don’t understand, I made people laugh for nothing.”

Zian felt that the matter was very serious. What kind of person is the old lady? Even if he really didn't understand the palace rules and lost his composure, at most it was a few words of warning, how could he be punished to kneel? She was a heroic general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was loved by all people. It seemed that humiliating her face in this way was not just a matter of morality and etiquette.

Zi'an asked softly: "Could it be that your old man had a grudge with this empress dowager in the past?"

The old matriarch said angrily: "Where is there any grudge against a woman like her..." She suddenly frowned and thought for a while, "You said that, but reminded me of one thing, but, that thing is nothing It's just two or three gossips, could it be that she holds a grudge in her heart?"

"What's the matter?" Zi'an asked quickly.

The old matriarch said: "It happened a long time ago. At that time, the emperor had not ascended the throne. That day when I entered the palace to meet the empress dowager, she knelt in front of the empress dowager. I wanted to go out, but the empress dowager did not." To avoid suspicion, let the old body listen. It turned out that the princess was jealous that Liangyuan was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, and poisoned the food to cause Liangyuan to conceive. I also learned the insidiousness of those women in the inner house, and killed a life for nothing. At that time, the old man felt that the resentment and viciousness she could not tell from the eyes she looked at, and the old man immediately knew that he had exceeded the rules, so he sat down and said nothing. Later, the empress dowager To deprive her of the position of Crown Princess and expel her, it was the late Emperor who interceded and said that for her father's sake, she would be spared this time, so she was only reduced to Liangyuan."

The old matriarch frowned, thought about it carefully, and said: "After she was demoted to Liangyuan, once when I entered the palace, I met her in the imperial garden. At that time, she smiled and said to me, thank you for being in the emperor Interceding for her in front of the Queen Mother, she will never forget this kindness, and will definitely repay the old man. At that time, the old man was still in a daze, wondering where he had pleaded for her? The dirty things she did, the old man hated the most of."

Zi'an sighed, the old matriarch is the most upright person, how could he think of the crooked thoughts of these deep palace women?

The concubine Xi probably hated her long ago, but she has been depressed and frustrated, and the old matriarch's power cannot be shaken, so she can't move.

Now that he has real power and is named the empress dowager, he is really suppressing the old matriarch, and even shakes this chicken feather as a command arrow, letting out the prestige of killing the old matriarch that has been held in his heart for many years. resentment.

However, what is the real purpose of the emperor to rectify the style of morality and filial piety? Just to grab everyone's pigtails?

However, how could the emperor not know that each family always has some of these braids, so what if they really put them on the table? It can't be said that it is a big crime because of these internal affairs, right?

However, when the old matriarch said the following sentence, Zian understood.

The old matriarch said: "The emperor also very much agrees that the empress dowager wants to rectify the ethos of high-ranking families. He even said that if there is a report, there will be a lot of rewards for the report and verification."

After understanding what the emperor meant, Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there are reports, then each family must have many eyes on it.

Whether those Spykers or important ministers, who doesn't have a few political enemies or feuds? Now that the emperor has spoken, the best way to vent his anger and take revenge is to keep a close eye on each other's houses and doors. The head of the family will not make mistakes, but those children are hard to say.

The emperor used this method to monitor the family and officials.

It's just that it's not his original intention to make the old lady feel wronged.

Liu Liu also frowned, "I haven't learned the rules much, do I want to enter the palace?"

"You don't need it, you don't have a title or mandate yet." The old lady said gently.

Liu Liu looked at Zi'an calmly, "Zi'an, I seem to see that you don't understand those palace rules. You used to be in the prime minister's mansion, did someone teach you etiquette?"

Zian sighed, "I'm not favored, where can I get someone to teach me this honor?"

"Then what should you do? You have to enter the palace to pay your respects on 147, you have to learn." Liu Liu said.

Zian waved his hand, "I'll think about it when I go back."

The old matriarch said fiercely: "Those wives are more than successful than they are, and they have the ability to go out and fight with the old man."

Zi'an smiled, "Yes, it would be great if we could fight all grievances and grievances."

Fighting in the harem and fighting for favor in the inner house are all invisible battlefields for killing people. In addition to dying a lot of brain cells, sometimes you have to lose your life.

After talking about these things, Zian asked again: "How is the emperor's body now?"

"Looking at it, she is much more energetic, and her face is full of blood, but Sun Fang'er is becoming more and more disfigured. That day when the old man entered the palace to pay his respects, she was also there, sitting in the corner without saying a word. At a glance, she looked like a ghost." Pale and frightening."

During this period of time, Zi An consulted many books due to the epidemic, among which Wen Yi's handbook mentioned Gu poison to cure diseases.

It's just that Gu poison can cure diseases, but the method is extremely insidious.

The person who controls the Gu worm nourishes the Gu worm with his own blood, and then puts it into the patient's body to eat away at the source of the disease.

This method seems to only be harmful to the person who raises the Gu, but in fact, if it is used for a long time, it will also be harmful to the patient.

At the beginning, the Gu worms will secrete a beneficial nutrient, which enters the patient's body through the blood, and the patient will feel that his vitality is greatly increased, but as time goes by, the nutrition of the Gu worms will disappear, and instead they will suck the blood from the patient to maintain their own life, because However, the blood of the Gu keeper cannot provide enough nutrition for the Gu worm at a certain time.

There are not many records in Wen Yi's letters, but it seems that Sun Fang'er used this method to treat the emperor's illness.

The emperor seems to be recovering now, but it's just that it's not yet time for the Gu worms to bite back.

Now thinking of Sun Fang'er talking about the emperor's condition, she always had a look of disdain on her face, she should understand.

But, I wonder if the emperor understands?

After learning about the basic situation in Beijing, Zi'an got up and said goodbye.

The prosperity of central Beijing is still there, and the streets lined with shops exude the atmosphere of a prosperous age.

However, Zi'an feels that behind this prosperity, there are always bursts of decay, which can't even be shone by the sun.

After returning to the mansion, the door of the mansion was wide open, and the gatekeeper saw Zi'an came back, and quickly called the people in the mansion to come out and help move things.

Emperor Bei Mo sent a lot of things, and they all came back with the carriage, and they were in a hurry for a while.

Everything in the mansion seemed to be the same, but when Zian saw the women and girls standing at the entrance of the main hall, he knew that the Regent's mansion had been invaded by foreign enemies.

An old woman wearing a stone-blue dark cloud pattern embroidered chrysanthemum dress led the people down, facing Zi Anfu in unison, "Slaves wait to welcome the princess!"
