Dahan first prince

Chapter 293 Mother ~ Help the Child ~
"Lang Zhongling?"

"Qu Nihou Chen Ping, want to be the doctor's order?!"

A few days later, Changxin Hall of Changle Palace.

Asked with a look full of surprise, Liu Ying looked at her mother, Lu Zhi, and couldn't help becoming more and more confused.

"Mother."

"The post of Langzhong Ling, the queen mother has promised to be completed and appointed?"

"Why now..."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Liu Ying's voice, Lu Zhi was not in a hurry or annoyed, but shook his head with a wry smile.

"Ugh······"

"I don't know something~"

"Marquis Wuyang..."

Halfway through speaking, Lu Zhi paused subconsciously, and looked around involuntarily.

After seeing clearly that all the heads in his eyes were deep under the head, Lu Zhi finally realized: For the current self, it seems that there is nothing that can cause trouble for him after he speaks it out.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but smiled wryly again, and pulled Liu Ying closer to him.

"In the past, Marquis Wuyang made mistakes in his errands, and he was slandered by Xiao Xiao's little slander at the side of the Taizu Emperor Gao, and finally became Gao's crime."

"Fortunately, I have a little friendship with Jianghou and Qunihou in the past, which makes Wuyanghou lucky to survive..."

As he spoke, Lu Zhi's eyes also quietly showed a touch of helplessness.

——It's like an upright official who has no choice but to be ruined by his unpromising relatives.

"Emperor Gao sent thunder and fury, and Marquis Wuyang can save his life, lord, it is not easy."

"Unexpectedly, Madam Hou, instead of using this matter, the crime is Jianghou and Qunihou..."

"Ah~"

"Jianghou, originally a prolific Yuancong, and the surviving heroes and meritorious princes, who can be used for conquests, also take Jianghou as the first."

"And I have to turn around, and remember Madam Hou's grudge, Jianghou, I have nothing to fear."

"Ran Qu Ni Hou..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi only stopped talking again, and looked up at Liu Ying with bitterness in his eyes.

"Ying'er."

"The Marquis of Wuyang will undoubtedly save his life, and the empress owes a favor to Marquis Jiang and Marquis Qu Ni."

"If Marquis Qu Ni is killed by Mrs. Hou because of this, my mother may lose face in the future, so I will entrust the matter to you."

"Why don't we ask Qu Nihou to temporarily serve as Lang Zhongling, and stay in the palace to avoid the limelight..."

"Maybe it's Ying'er who pays her with this official position, in order to thank Marquis Qu Ni for saving her relatives?"

After speaking, Lu Zhi was full of expectation, and waited for Liu Ying's reply with bitter eyes.

And beside Lu Zhi, although Liu Ying looked thoughtful, secretly she was already sneering.

With Jiuqing, especially Lang Zhongling, who is an important position that concerns his own wealth and life, how can he thank Chen Ping for the "graciousness of saving his relatives"?
——Fan Kuai, Marquis of Wuyang, who is Liu Ying's relative? ! !
Eight poles were swung two hundred miles away, Fan Kuai's wife was Liu Ying's aunt; in terms of etiquette, Liu Ying wanted to call Fan Kui uncle.

But the key point is: Uncle Fan Kuai was a criminal who was personally ordered to be beheaded by the late emperor Liu Bang during his lifetime!
If you put aside some factors of "wanting to impose a crime", then Fan Kuai is a traitor in the legal sense!

Under this premise, if Liu Ying can turn a blind eye to "the queen mother rescued Fan Kui", it is considered as the utmost benevolence.

Let Liu Ying thank Chen Ping with great fanfare, especially as a nine minister, to reward Chen Ping for saving Fan Kuai's life, then Liu Ying, what face does she have to sit in Weiyang Palace, what face does she have? Emperor Liu Han'?
To put it bluntly, this question is very easy to understand.

——No matter how close my uncle is, he can never be more kissable than my own father!
Especially an uncle like Fan Kui who has the status of a 'subject', in front of today's son Liu Ying, can never be worth a hair of the former emperor Liu Bang!
If it weren't for the old lady who insisted on saving him, after Fan Kui returned to Chang'an, the first one to jump out and yell, "Kill Fan Kui to bring peace to the world", would be Liu Ying!
Therefore, pretending not to see Fan Kui returned to Chang'an alive, and even acquiescing in his heart that Fan Kui is dead, this is already Liu Ying's bottom line.

Doing anything for Fan Kui would have greatly exceeded Liu Ying's psychological expectations.

Furthermore, Chen Ping's motive for wanting to be Lang Zhongling made Liu Ying very uncomfortable.

——What do you mean by 'I offended Lv Nai, so I have to be Lang Zhongling to avoid the limelight by His Majesty's side'?
"Co-author Lang Zhongling, the dignified Jiuqing, is in charge of the safety of the emperor, but not only can I not count on it, but I have to protect my bodyguard head instead?"

"Hey······"

"You, Chen Ping, have a lot of face!!!"

Such a slander, Liu Ying's complexion also darkened in an instant.

Liu Ying did not have the slightest doubt about "Lv Nai remembers Chen Ping's hatred for Fan Kui's arrest" and even felt bad for Chen Ping because of her hatred.

——Lv Taigong's third daughter, Lu Wei, is just like a small Lu Zhi Ben Pheasant!

Except that she is not as old as her sister, Lu Xiaoyan's domineering temper is even worse than that of Lu Zhi!

In Liu Ying's view, it is not surprising that such a woman with a violent temper and now supported by the queen mother's sister would do something crazy because of her husband.

As for Lu Wei's methods, one thing is enough to make it clear.

——Fan Kuai was Liu Bang's younger brother when the former emperor Liu Bangshang was the head of Qin Sishui Pavilion;
And among all the younger brothers, the degree of intimacy with Liu Bang is second only to Lu Wan's "Third Master"!
The relationship between Xiao He, Cao Can, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, and Liu Bang is far less than that of Fan Kuai!
Look again now?
Marrying Lu Nai as his wife so far, but in less than ten years, Wuyang Marquis Fan Kuai is already a real 'Lu Party'!

Even the former big brother, the late Daxing Emperor Liu Bang wanted to kill this younger brother who betrayed him, but he couldn't hurt Fan Kuai!
With such a detached identity, I am afraid that in today's world, no one dares to say that Fan Kui's "returning Liu to Lu" back then was a wrong choice!

And the key person who prompted Fan Kuai to abandon his long-term relationship with the former emperor Liu Bang and run for his wife's natal family was the "Mrs. Wuyang Hou" in Lu Zhi's mouth-Lu Wei.

Having been inexplicably hated by such a person, as a surrendered general, Chen Ping, who has no prominent status or great power, should really think about his future.

But no matter what, Chen Ping shouldn't have come up with a plan to repeatedly slap Liu Ying's ears like "Lang Zhong Ling"...
"My son thinks it's wrong!"

Expressing her position without hesitation, Liu Ying's face was filled with undisguised annoyance.

"My son has not yet been crowned, nor has he been in charge of the court. When the Jiuqing is appointed or dismissed, my son should have followed in the name of his mother."

"However, I dare not cherish the position of Lang Zhongling."

"not to mention!"

In the middle of the sentence, Liu Ying couldn't help being even more anxious, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her eyes when she looked at Lu Zhi.

"Mother~"

"He, Chen Ping, is too defiant!"

Saying this in a complaining tone, and shaking Lu Zhi's arm lightly, Liu Ying's face was even more arbitrarily arbitrarily reserved for the former emperor's seventh son, Liu Chang.

"——Dignified Lang Zhongling, instead of thinking of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, instead, because of his own safety, he avoids disaster and stays with his son?"

"In the future, if something happens in the palace, wouldn't my son not only be unable to rely on the doctor's order, but instead personally lead the military soldiers and rush to help to protect the doctor's order?"

As she said that, Liu Ying also slightly retracted her coquettish tone, and her face was solemn.

"Qu Nihou Chen Ping, originally a general of the Duke of Lu, was entrusted with the grace of his father because he came to Han before the battle."

"In the past, it can be said that there was no meritorious service, and they only said to outsiders: plan, plan."

"—This one doesn't know loyalty to the emperor, second, he doesn't know martial arts, and third, he doesn't know the battle formation, but only engages in conspiracy and tricks, and has a foothold in the court. Son, how can you believe it?"

"How can the important task of guarding the forbidden center be entrusted to such villains?!"

After saying these words angrily, Liu Ying lowered her head full of annoyance, and sulked herself.

Although it cannot be said that all of these words are Liu Ying's real thoughts, they are basically the same as Liu Ying's real thoughts.

——Lang Zhongling, that is the head of the emperor's bodyguard!
Such a position is most suitable for the "foolish and loyal people" in the population of later generations!
And a 'smart person' like Chen Ping, especially a smart person who is too smart, is absolutely not suitable for a position like Lang Zhongling, which has extremely high requirements for 'loyalty'!

Furthermore, Chen Ping is a theoretical "prince of meritorious service", but in fact, he is following the path of a civil servant and counselor.

Even though there are many Han officials who are both civil and military, Liu Ying still feels very unhappy when a courtier who is more inclined to be a "counselor" style becomes a doctor.

——If you want to say that you are smart and able to fight, let alone the whole world, there are more than a hundred heroes in the Chang'an court, who are better than Chen Ping, at least five fingers!
If you want a Lang Zhongling who meets the requirements of being smart and able to play these two requirements at the same time, then Liu Ying can definitely consider big players like Zhang Cang and Chong Da.

No matter how bad it is, there are some candidates who are not well-known but have outstanding abilities.

For example, Huaiyang Shoushen Tujia who just took office, Hanzhong Shoutian Shu and so on.

anyway...
"No matter what, it can't be Chen Ping!"

With a low growl full of boredom, Liu Ying was so angry that she turned her upper body aside.

"I'm not afraid that the queen mother will be angry. Today, my son will be willful for a while!"

"—Lang Zhongling, only the Lu family can't do it!"

"Even if it is not the Lu family, Chen Ping must not be made the doctor's order!!!"

Seeing that Liu Ying played a rogue like never before, Lu Zhi was unexpected, but he still loved Liu Ying slowly in his eyes.

Laughing and staring at Liu Ying for a long time, Lu Zhi shook his head with a smile, and gently pulled his son who was sulking with his back to him.

"With Chen Ping as the doctor's order, Ying'er feels that the surname is not trustworthy?"

But when Liu Ying heard the words, she only nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head hesitantly.

"Of course, not entirely."

After resolutely saying this, Liu Ying looked at Lu Zhi with more sincerity.

"Mother."

"Using my uncle as the doctor's order, one of them is to repay Lu's past, son, and mother's help;"

"Secondly, Yi Naier is worried about Weiyang Palace..."

As she spoke, Liu Ying's tone sank slightly.

"The queen mother doesn't know something."

"Since Emperor Gao's great trip, when the mother moved to Changle and left her son alone in Weiyang Palace, the Sima Gate of Weiyang Palace and the guards at the door of the room have long been different from the past."

"There are even more rumors in Weiyang Palace: If the Lu family is a palace gate captain, entering and leaving Weiyang Palace is nothing more than two taels of gold and two buckets of fine wine."

"For these two sects, Lu's nephew and nephew are both palace gate captains. My son wants to be vigilant against them, but he is afraid of chilling the hearts of Lu..."

Speaking of 'sadness', Liu Ying bowed her head without forgetting her grievances, and her tone of voice was slowly filled with self-blame.

"The emperor's father made a great trip, leaving his son alone to bear the burden of this ancestral temple and the country. Fortunately, the mother's queen was here, so that the son did not mess up."

"It's only a forbidden place, but it's ultimately a matter of the stability of the country..."

In the middle of speaking, before Liu Ying continued to speak, Lu Zhi's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Come on!"

"Call Simamen Wei Lu Ze and Zuo Shimen Wei Lu Lu into the palace!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the temperature of Changxin Hall, which was originally filled with warmth, suddenly dropped to freezing point amid Lu Zhi's cold reprimand.

Even Liu Ying was stunned for a moment by the old lady's cold, dead-like eyes!

When Lu Zhi lowered her head sullenly, Liu Ying found the right time and continued to complain to her mother.

"The queen mother calms down..."

"In the past, when my son's position was in turmoil, the nephews and nephews of Lu mostly ran for my son."

"Today I have to inherit the ancestral temple and the country, and it is only human nature for the sons and nephews of Lu to be a little slack..."

Saying this in a low tone, seeing Lu Zhi's expression only became more gloomy and cold, Liu Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"If there are no accidents, starting tonight, I can finally sleep soundly..."

Thinking about it this way, Liu Ying's words showed no tendency to stop at all.

"My son wanted to make my uncle a Lang Zhongling, so I thought of this..."

"My son thinks that even though the nephews and nephews of Lu have neglected their duties a little, uncle is the elder of the nephews and nephews of Lu in the end;"

"Uncle was appointed Langzhong order to suppress the ban, Sima and Zuoshi two doors, and they should also be able to slightly prevent innocent people from entering and leaving the palace..."

Hearing Liu Ying's tone of voice full of grievances, although Lu Zhi didn't say anything, the raging anger in his chest had already overflowed from those almost zero-degree cold eyes!
——Lv Zhi never thought that the two nephews who stayed in Weiyang Palace to guard the palace gate because they were considered "trustworthy" would completely build Weiyang Palace into their own in just over a month. back garden!
"Golden two taels..."

"Two buckets of fine wine..."

Biting out these four characters almost without any emotion, on Lu Zhi's face, there was no trace of the warmth of a living person anymore.

"go with!"

"Zhou Qu Ni Hou Ping, Jian Jian Hou Shizhi, Prime Minister Xiao He, and Imperial Censor Cao Shen all entered the palace!"

"In addition, pass on the Shangshu of the Six Masters of the Shaofu, and the Fuxi Zhonglang, in order to prepare for the edict!"

After giving orders with a sullen expression, Lu Zhi stood up coldly and cast an unnatural glance at Liu Ying.

"There is nothing else to do, the emperor will go first..."

Without waiting for the word "return to the palace" to exit, Lu Zhi realized: Weiyang Palace at this moment may not be safe for a long time...

"Humph!"

With another cold snort, Lu Zhi turned around, looked towards the direction outside the hall, and continued to say: "Let's go to the back hall first, and see your own flesh and blood."

"I still have something important to discuss with you, and I will come later."

Hearing this, Liu Ying subconsciously agreed.

——If Liu Ying was not allowed to return to Weiyang Palace, it must be this matter, which made the empress dowager completely fall in love with her!
"Hey······"

"Lu Ze, Lu Lu..."

"They are all sons of Lu Shizhi..."

"Now, I'm afraid even my unlucky uncle will die after a meal..."

So slanderous, Liu Ying bent down, and was about to bow to salute, but as if struck by lightning, she froze in place for a moment!

After thinking about it, Liu Ying raised her head in bewilderment, and looked at Lu Zhi with a touch of horror in her eyes!
—Flesh and blood!

"hiss······"

"Almost forgot······"

"—I also have a concubine Ji who was raised by the queen mother in Changle Palace!"

As Liu Ying digested the explosive news secretly, the stiff smile on Lu Zhi's face also showed a little sincerity.

"Since the spring of this year, my son has stayed in Changle for Emperor Gao, and has not left the palace for a long time."

"It's about the ancestral temple and the country, and I'm just a bastard, so I'm not in a hurry to tell you."

After explaining why I didn't mention this before, Lu Zhi's brows also showed a touch of grandmotherly love.

"—In the fourth month of spring, Ju'er gave birth to a baby boy in Weiyang Palace."

"I just don't know why, when the eldest son of the emperor was born, his mother was bleeding profusely and died in the palace."

"Not half a decade later, Emperor Gao collapsed Changle Palace, and the national mourning suddenly began."

"My son's new emperor was established, and he was busy with the funeral of Emperor Gao. I didn't mention this matter..."

Hearing that what my mother said seemed reasonable, but there was something wrong with her explanation, Liu Ying didn't bother to think too much about it.

With a grin, Liu Ying returned to her usual harmless, gentle and friendly demeanor, bowing her hands to Lu Zhi in a respectful manner.

"My son, please obey your mother's orders..."

"Well, let's go."

With permission, Liu Ying turned around with a smile, and walked towards the Changle Palace group behind the Changxin Hall under the guidance of an eunuch.

Just walking, Liu Ying couldn't help feeling a sense of vigilance for unknown reasons.

"In the two lives before and after, two completely different women who had nothing to do with each other 'died in childbirth' while giving birth to the eldest son of the emperor..."

Recalling the previous life, the woman named A Hua who gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Gong, and died in the palace shortly afterwards, and then recalled the palace maid Ju Er who had just met Liu Ying for the second time half a year ago... ···
"Mother..."

Turning around involuntarily, looking not far away, the Changxin Hall, which reveals a heavy aura all the time, finally brought a touch of complexity on Liu Ying's face.

"His Majesty······"

"His Majesty?"

The eunuch's careful call finally drew Liu Ying's attention back to her eyes, she gave a slight smile, and continued walking towards the deep palace.

It's just that the "coincidence" that appeared in Liu Ying's mind just now was like a hedgehog's thorn, deeply pierced into Liu Ying's heart, and could not be pulled out for a long time...
