Spring Forest Evening

Zhou Heng originally wanted to say that the emperor and the empress dowager planned it together, but felt it was inappropriate, so he changed it to such a meaningful "one singing and one harmonizing". , Shen Yi even said angrily:

"Look at what you said! Although it is said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the emperor and the empress usually go boating to enjoy the moon, but at that time, the late emperor had just passed away. The emperor was filial, and it is not human nature to accompany the empress dowager to mourn under the moon!"

But why does the tone sound a little weak?Zhou Heng glanced at her, and then at Uncle He. The latter didn't say who was right and who was wrong, but said with a smile:

"It's better to listen to me finish the story first, and let me declare that these old things more than ten years ago were mainly told by the empress today. Ayi, you all know that shortly after the death of the late emperor, I was very upset. I resigned from the job of the commander of the imperial guards sensibly, and started eating and drinking with your father and king, ha ha."

A dignified commander-in-chief resigned just like that?And the current emperor also allows him to hang out with a prince with a different surname who has military power?Zhou Heng had an intuition that there should be some stories behind this, but Shen Yi had an expression of "I understand" on Shen Yi's face.

Of course, it is important to listen to the story of the Empress Empress now. After all, whether or not to go boating on the Mid-Autumn Festival night is a public matter. I searched for Uncle He thoughtfully, thinking more about some unknown things behind it, so "Hexiang Xiaozhu" is at best an introduction.

Empress Jiang is really well-intentioned. Zhou Heng expressed his admiration for this empress.

Sure enough, Uncle He then talked about Empress Jiang's long-term investigation since she was left alone in the water pavilion on Mid-Autumn Night:

"Of course, after the mid-autumn night of that year, there were still some things. Otherwise, the empress wouldn't have had other thoughts because of such an incident, and that year when the emperor ascended the throne, she entered the Changchun Palace , the position cannot be said to be very stable, after all, the two side concubines of the emperor when he was in the hidden mansion—Xiang Concubine and Ye Concubine, the mother was conferred the title of Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu by virtue of her son, but she was the only queen in the middle palace, but she was still under her knees. False."

Probably thinking of the three young people in front of him, especially Zhou Heng's ignorance of these court personnel changes, Uncle He still added a few more background explanations:

"Speaking of which, when she was the second prince and concubine, the empress also gave birth to a son. You may not know how young you are, but unfortunately he passed away. Alas, otherwise he was the legitimate eldest son, and there has been no movement since then. "

"In those few years, after all, the emperor had to fight with the eldest prince who was the prince at that time. He was thinking about it day and night, not to mention giving others a handle, and his family wanted to grab the prince's braid all the time. It can be said that the concubine who was born has always been respected and respected. Of course, Empress Jiang's father is the Taifu, and the civil servants have a lot of prestige, which is a great help to him. You have to choose."

"In this way, even though she has no heirs, during the years in the prince's mansion, the queen's empress lived quite well as the main concubine. So she became a queen when she entered the palace, although the other two side concubines had sons and status. Rilong, but the empress didn't take it seriously at first, and she still behaved according to the way of the prince's mansion, which was one of the reasons why she dared to quarrel with the emperor at that time. In front of countless people, the emperor actually slapped her in the face!"

"The girl taught by Jiang Taifu is also the daughter-in-law chosen by the late emperor. Naturally, she is not an idle person. After that, according to what the empress said today, not to mention Concubine Xiang Gui and Concubine Ye Shu, the emperor has successively mentioned several people who have children. This is even more of a slap in the face, at least it’s meant to remind her, and again, using her poor health as an excuse, even let Xiang and Ye take over the palace affairs together. If there is a major event, Then I ask the empress dowager to make a decision, she has actually made her a queen in the palace, and after these things, even the most forgiving people can see that something is wrong."

"I'm listening in the palace today. The empress is willing to tell me about these things in the palace. Apart from wanting me to feel her sincerity, it's really hard to understand. At that time, I also read it secretly, empress The few confidantes next to me, while listening to it, also have a gloomy and indignant expression."

So, from the beginning to the end, only the empress dowager is the biggest winner. Zhou Heng didn't interrupt, but thought silently in his heart. Although the two concubines have management rights, they are at best senior managers who work for others. Man, isn't the chairman still the queen mother?If there is no cooperation with the emperor, it is really hard to be convincing.

Therefore, Zhou Heng felt that regardless of the identities of the three, if a man is willing to help another young and beautiful woman suppress his original wife, basically, according to the results of countless classic cases in the 21st century, he can only It's the lower body thinking, and I want to serve the mistress wholeheartedly.

Of course, it can also be said that the other party may have some interests involved with him, but he is an emperor who has successfully ascended the throne, and it is said that the world has been peaceful all these years, so what help does he need from a woman who has become his stepmother?

So this time, Zhou Heng firmly felt that the relationship between these two people must have been a mere relationship and they did not run away!

Because of this kind of thought first, and after listening to Uncle He's report about Empress Jiang, Zhou Heng felt more and more that this young empress dowager was lonely in the palace, or because she was helping the emperor in the process of ascending the throne. Her long-term love, or something else, just turned Empress Jiang, who was originally a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, into a rival in love.

If Uncle He knew what she was thinking at this moment, he might heave a sigh of relief: Oh, you don't know, when I was listening to the Empress Dowager in the palace, I really... didn't know what expression to make!

How should I put it, the most honorable seat and the most supreme power in the world are placed in the place of the imperial palace, and it is aimed at this, what kind of things will not happen?You can think of whatever you want.

Of course, it is one thing to think of it, but another thing to know it is true. After all, he was a person who had followed the late emperor for many years. Although I don’t know who took the first step at that time, but seeing that the dignified prince actually fought for the throne. But he made such a bad plan, and continued to do his own thing after ascending to the throne, and even later attacked his first wife because of this. In addition to thanking himself for leaving the palace early at that time, it was a wise move, Uncle He also felt sorry for the current emperor. I feel very disgusted.

But it was inconvenient for him to say these words to the three young men in front of him. Empress Jiang also said at the time that as long as she got the result, she didn't ask the source, and let him figure it out.

Thinking of this, Uncle He took a deep breath, and was about to tell the three of them what Empress Jiang wanted, when Shen Yi suddenly raised her head and asked with a smile:

"That's why the empress is so upset, and this time she has gone through a lot of trouble to come to the door, she can't just want to talk to Uncle He, right?"
