Han emperor system

Chapter 204 Second Palace Turns His Face (Part [-])
"Mother, this is a special glutinous rice cake in Yangzhou County. It is not only delicate and refreshing, but also very fragrant. Eating it can also beautify the skin. I heard that the wives of officials and officials over there often eat it, so everyone does not look old. This time in Yangzhou The prefect sent someone to send over a thousand catties of glutinous rice, and I will send some to Weiyang Palace in the future, and the queen mother often eats it, so she will look younger in the future."

"Hehe, I am still getting old after all, I feel that my body is not as good as before, and my spirit is getting worse every day. Thinking about it, I still feel that life was more comfortable when I was in Hejian. I can play with Honger every day, but now I don’t think it’s been so long.”

Empress Dowager Dong was originally the concubine of Hejian. After the death of the Han Emperor, because there was no blood left to inherit the great lineage, she chose a direct descendant after the Liu clan. Liu Hong, the son of King Hejian, was appointed because King Hejian was the brother of Emperor Han at that time, and Liu Hong was relatively outstanding in the younger generation in terms of blood and character.

After the first emperor Liu Hong entered the palace, his mother, the empress Dong, naturally valued her mother and children, and became the current empress dowager from the concubine of Hejian. However, after entering, the status of the first emperor changed, and the personnel he came into contact with also changed. The relationship between mother and child has also cracked, and they have gradually become estranged. Therefore, Empress Dowager Dong's life in the palace for 20 years has not been as comfortable as it used to be when she was in Hejian.

"My mother's words are not bad. The concubine still often thinks of the scene at home. My father and brother are busy in the market. My mother and I weave at home, and sometimes we go out in the wild with our playmates to pick wild fruits. At that time The years are really nostalgic, and it is much more free than being in the palace now."

"However, after entering the palace, I came to understand what is the most noble and powerful in the world. The power center of the entire Han Dynasty, all the orders are issued from here, and all the rare treasures are sent here. Countless cavalry troops are rolling in. From all directions, countless talented subjects flock here from all over the country, this kind of glory is unimaginable compared to the previous days, and once you have experienced these things, have you ever thought about going back to the past?"

"To be honest, the concubine is also reluctant. If I want to let the concubine return to the past life now, then the concubine will definitely not be able to live a day. However, the concubine does not think about power and wealth, In the past, the late emperor was with him, but now the late emperor is gone, and Bian'er is watching over him. The concubine thinks that as a girl, her greatest wish is to watch over her son, watch him grow into an adult, and watch him become a good man. The emperor, seeing the big man prosper in his hands, is satisfied."

"That's right, I thought exactly the same as you do now 20 years ago. I only hoped that I could guard Hong'er and watch him become a man who commanded the world, and I would be satisfied. But you don't know, later Hong'er has changed, she no longer listens to my mother, and is angry with me, making me shed so many tears in secret. I never thought that Hong'er would leave before me and be thrown away with his father. I am left alone, and sometimes I feel that I might as well go with them while living like this.”

"Mother, don't think so. Isn't Bian'er your grandson? Although the late emperor was unfortunate, but now the big man still has Bian'er. I will let Bian'er visit you often in the future. After all, you are his real grandmother." The concubine and the late emperor have known each other for 17 years, and the concubine feels satisfied to be able to accompany the late emperor for half a lifetime. If it wasn't for the fact that Bian'er was still young and needed to be taken care of by the concubine, the concubine also wanted to follow the late emperor. It was just to take good care of the late emperor. My son, this concubine endured the pain and lived on in this world, until the day when Bian'er really grows up, it will be the time for this concubine to meet the late emperor."

"Speaking of which, our mother and son are poor and miserable people. Now you are fine, your son has become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you are also the empress dowager. It is completely different from when you first entered the palace. Thinking about it now, at that time It’s still as vivid as yesterday. I remember that when you first entered the palace, you were only 16 years old. You looked like a simple, honest and cute child. When I first saw you, I felt Very kind, do you know why?"

"Of course the concubine still remembers. At that time, the queen mother called me to Weiyang Palace and said a lot to the concubine. The queen mother said that when you were young, you also spent a period of time in the countryside, so you saw me. Afterwards, I felt the aura of a countryman in me, so you arranged for your concubines to meet the late emperor, and later the concubines were favored by the late emperor, and it was all thanks to you, the late mother, that they were able to be with the late emperor."

"Hehe, it's been almost 20 years, I didn't expect you to remember it, I remember that I listened to Ben Gong very much at that time, sometimes Hong'er didn't listen to Ben Gong, and you were the one who persuaded him. Hey, all this is just as it is in front of my eyes when I think about it, but Hong'er actually left at a young age. But, now, I have to say something to be fair, you really shouldn't have changed so much at that time Otherwise, Hong'er wouldn't favor Wang Meiren, and maybe he could live a few more years."

"Mother, I don't like to listen to your words. At the beginning, the concubine gave birth to several children in succession, but they all died inexplicably. After giving birth to Bian'er, they were still sent to Shi Dao's house to be raised. I grew up safely. Does the mother know why the concubine changed later? It was because the concubine found out that my first two children were killed by others, and the culprits were Concubine Zhou and Concubine Li Shu. But that At that time, the empress mother, you and the first emperor listened to their slander, saying that the concubine hit Kezi. If the concubine was not pregnant with Bian'er, she would have been thrown into limbo. Therefore, the concubine made a decisive decision and sent two concubines Zhou Guifei and Li Shu This saved Bian'er. But at that time, you didn't understand that the queen mother supported the concubines, and you gave the little fairy Wang Meiren to the late emperor. As a result, the late emperor was so fascinated by her that he even wanted the prince The position was passed on to that bitch's child, so the concubine had no choice but to make a bad plan and send someone to poison her to death."

Empress Dowager He sighed softly, but the content of her words was creepy to hear. The cruelty and tragedy of the battle in the harem came from her mouth, which seemed to be some insignificant trifles, and Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help hearing it. Feeling pity in my heart, I am even more afraid of Queen Mother He.

"It turns out that Concubine Zhou Gui and Concubine Li Shu were also killed by you. How could you be so cruel?"

"Queen, do you think Chen Qie is cruel? But have you thought about your two grandchildren who died young? One of them was under two years old and the other was only eight months old. Whenever I think of the tragic death of my two children, Chen Qie I can’t wait to kill all the people in the palace and let them, these sluts, be buried with my children."

"It's no wonder that your personality changed drastically later. It was very different from the two years when you first entered the palace. It turned out to be because of this. But I really can't blame you for anything. The tragedies in the harem have happened in all dynasties. If this palace If you encounter something like yours, maybe you will be as crazy as you. But even if you killed Concubine Zhou and Concubine Li Shu because they killed your child, but you poisoned Wang Meiren and made the prince Xie grow up Isn't it just as cruel without a mother?"

"The concubine knows that killing Wang Meiren is only to prevent her from taking away the late emperor, lest she live to confuse the late emperor and make her child the crown prince. Thinking about it, mother, you actually cared so much about that bitch's child, and you actually took him to raise him yourself, so that I had no chance to get rid of him. But now that Bian'er has ascended the throne and became emperor, there is no need for the concubines to deal with him as a little child , so you can rest assured, mother."

"I also want to feel relieved, but I can't let it go." The Empress Dowager said with a sigh.

"Is this the reason why the queen mother wants to attend the court? Is the queen mother still thinking of abolishing my Bian'er and making that bitch's child a big man?" Queen Mother He asked coldly with a change of expression.

"I don't mean that, but Bian'er and Xie'er are still young, and they are not capable of managing the world. My intention is to wait until they grow up and see who is more capable of managing the world. Will be qualified to become the Son of Heaven."

Empress Dowager Dong said leisurely, she looked at Empress Dowager He without giving up her eyes at all, it seemed that nothing had happened between the two palaces, but there seemed to be sparks flickering between her eyes.

"Although the concubine listened to the government behind the curtain, she didn't interfere with the discussions of the ministers above the court. They just watched Bian'er deal with the state affairs from behind, gave him some psychological support, and at the same time prevented those court ministers from bullying him. Bian'er is young and has messed up the government. The concubine has worked hard all over, and has no intention of interfering in the Han Dynasty's affairs, nor does she have the slightest idea of ​​controlling the power of the Han Dynasty. So today, the concubine invited his mother to come to Xiaoxu, and he also dared to ask his mother. Don't interfere with the affairs of the court anymore, otherwise it will bring disaster to the world of Han."

"Hmph, you sound nice, because Liu Bian is your son, so of course he will listen to you, so if you don't speak up in the court, what Liu Bian said is not what you want him to do. Ben Gong I watched Hong'er sit on the throne of the Great Han Emperor, and you would never allow your mother and son to ruin Hong'er's world. Thinking back, if I hadn't promoted you, would you have the wealth and honor you have today? Your He family Is it possible to be as powerful as today?" Empress Dowager Dong's face darkened, she pointed at Empress Dowager He and asked, and the two completely turned their faces.
