I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 93
The residences of Empress He and Prince Liu Bian are located on the west side of Fanglin Garden in Beigong.

Since he poisoned Wang Rong Wang, Liu Hong has never been lucky enough to be with Empress He again, but this is not because Empress He has lost her former enchanting charm, but because Liu Hong still has a lot of hatred for her in his heart, and he was resentful for a while It's hard to get rid of, so it's delayed for a few months, but it just doesn't come.

However, since Empress He gave birth to her child, she has remained well maintained, her figure is still graceful, and she is full of charm. Compared with before she gave birth to a child, she has added a bit more mature charm.

This pig-killing girl from a wealthy family has always believed that as long as she is given another chance, she can still reunite with Liu Hong, regain her husband's love for her, and serve Liu Hong clearly like a pig.

However, although Sister Zhuzhu still has a higher heart than the sky, others don't understand her.During the year when Liu Hong ignored Empress He, most of the servants in the palace also began to deliberately alienate Empress He, especially Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who surrounded her in the past. Yu disappeared in front of Empress He.

Especially Guo Sheng, who is still a fellow of her He family, back then he entered the palace through his family or through his family, now that the situation is imminent, but he still alienates himself, why is the fellow so unreliable?
This made Empress He, who was not particularly big-minded in the first place, quite resentful.

When my He family takes power in the future, you will definitely regret it!
But Sister Zhuzhu has a big heart, but her mind is really narrow. This is no wonder for Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. After all, the lessons learned by the previous Empress Song are vivid. Before her attitude is completely clear, it's best to keep some distance from her.

And it's no wonder that the eunuchs look down on her. In their eyes, although Empress He's appearance and figure are attractive, her cultural heritage and wisdom are somewhat inferior, and she is too jealous, giving people a feeling of big breasts and no brains. A woman like this usually loses power, and no one is sure what she will do. It is right to stay away from her during this period.

But on this day, the situation changed.

Lu Qiang, who had just been sealed by Liu Hong, came to 'visit' the queen and the prince with a group of eunuchs and the clothes, food and utensils they brought for the prince.

That's right, Lu Qiang is now sealed.

According to what Liu Jian said, it is impossible for the emperor to pardon part of the party members in vain. This time the emperor pardoned the party members from the ancestors, and in exchange, Liu Hong generals Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Lu Qiang All the eunuchs were named marquises.

At the same time, the relatives of the eunuchs and a group of students from the Hongdu school were promoted and appointed to the local area to expand their bargaining chips.

It is impossible for the emperor to suffer for nothing. The aristocratic family knows this, the scholars are clear, and the court officials of the Manchu Dynasty are also clear.

Originally, the emperor wanted to confer Marquis together with Lu Qiang, Zhang Rang and others, but Lu Qiang wanted to refuse, but after Liu Jian's suggestion, he finally accepted the title.

The reason is very simple. Lu Qiang thought that he was not worthy of virtue, so he rejected the position of marquis to show his loyalty to the public, but this was not the best policy for him personally.

Liu Jian told him that being loyal to the public is of no use to His Majesty, and your behavior is not considered loyalty in the eyes of His Majesty, but a great rebellion!
Are you 'unworthy of morality'? You don't need to think about it. The emperor knows better than you?
If it is said that morality is not worthy, the emperor is the first in the Manchu Dynasty, and he will care about this?

In Liu Hong's eyes, "cleanness" is not a manifestation of loyalty, but "obedience" is loyalty!Those who are ministers should not put the cart before the horse.

After receiving Liu Jian's persuasion, Lu Qiang finally accepted Liu Hong's marquis title like Zhang Rang and others.

He was granted the title of Marquis of the Capital by Liu Hongchi, and he has been full of dignitaries ever since.

……

He Hou didn't expect that the person who came to visit her was not Zhang Rang, not Zhao Zhong, and not even the fellow countryman Guo Guo who brought her into the palace at the stage when she was the most coldly received by His Majesty. win.

It was Lu Qiang who had nothing to do with him in the past!

He personally came to visit his mother and son with all kinds of expenses, even though it was in the name of visiting the prince, but it still made He Hou feel very pleased and grateful at the same time.

Such a sincere person is rare in the palace these days.

After accepting the things from Lu Qiang, Empress He summoned the prince Liu Bian, who was under seven years old, and asked the prince to thank Lu Qiang in person.

Seeing this, Lu Qiang hurriedly bowed down to the ground: "This old slave is a servant of the Heavenly Family, so he is His Royal Highness's servant. How dare a servant be the master to thank you? Your Highness is letting this old slave die."

Empress He smiled all over her face: "Why does Lu Qing do this, please get up."

Lu Qiang tried his best to get up and stood beside He Hou and Liu Bian.

He Hou stroked Liu Bian's head and sighed, "Bian'er was sent to be raised by His Majesty in Taoism since he was born, and he didn't come back to me until the year before last. As my mother, there are not many people who really cherish her. It is also Bian'er's blessing to be able to receive Lu Qing's gift and consultation in times of crisis. It is also appropriate for him to thank Zhongchang in person. In this deep palace Among them, it is the great fortune of my mother and son to have a loyal person like Qing."

"Don't dare, dare not, His Highness is absurd."

Empress He said: "I heard that in the recent period, all the affairs of the beauties in the West Garden, as well as His Majesty's daily entertainment, are all undertaken by the Zhongchang attendant?"

Lu Qiang said solemnly: "That's right! Sigh, the old slave is old and soft-spoken. He can't help His Majesty with serious matters. He can only do some small things to entertain His Majesty, make His Majesty feel happy, and manage state affairs better,"

"Your Majesty has been constantly recruiting beauties from local states and counties over the years, and the palace has spent a lot of money. This old slave has come up with some ways to entertain and let His Majesty accept fewer beauties. This move, in the eyes of this old slave, can be regarded as devotion to the country. Bar."

When Empress He heard this, she was even more satisfied with Lu Qiang.

Butcher's sister's jealousy is very strong, her eyes are like the eyes of a needle, otherwise she wouldn't have poisoned Wang Meiren, and all the beauties in the North Palace, whoever saw Queen He, would feel chills down their backs.

Although Empress He was introduced to the palace by Guo Sheng from her hometown, besides Empress He, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang and others will continue to introduce other beauties to the palace every year for Liu Hong's pleasure. This made empress he feel depressed, and it was also what she was most dissatisfied with Zhang Rang and these people.

Apart from getting so many women for His Majesty every year, why don't you do anything serious?
But no matter how dissatisfied Empress He was, Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng couldn't stop this way of pleasing Liu Hong.

How can there be any reason why eunuchs would put all their treasures on a woman?Not even if the woman is a queen.

But what Lu Qiang is doing now makes Empress He feel that he is very reliable and a loyal minister.

Although Lu Qiang's behavior is also encouraging Liu Hong to play with women, at least he will not add more women to Liu Hong, and will not introduce more enemies from outside the palace to Empress He.

Sister Killing Pig's thinking is so simple. Based on this alone, she thinks that Lu Qiang is a good eunuch, better than other eunuchs.

Lu Qiang said: "If Your Highness needs anything in the future, you just need to send someone to inform the old slave. As long as it is something that does not violate the prohibition of the palace, the old slave will take care of it for Your Highness."

Empress He nodded in satisfaction: "Actually, there is one thing I really want to bother Lu Qing."

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just ask."

"It's about His Majesty... Alas, His Majesty doesn't come to me now, because he hates me, but Bi'er is his prince after all. How can a father never see his own child for a year or so? Please Help me, Lu Qing, find a chance and try to get your Majesty to come down once."

Lu Qiang smiled knowingly when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, don't worry, if there is an opportunity to promote the reunion of His Majesty and His Highness, and the reunion of husband and wife, this old servant will do his best."

Empress He was overjoyed when she heard the words: "If my husband and wife can be reconciled, I would like to make Bian'er regard Lu Qing as Weng Gong."

After finishing speaking, Empress He patted Liu Bian's head and said, "Quick, call Weng Weng."

"Lu Weng Weng!"

"Hey, it's necessary, this is against the rules, His Highness killed the old slave."

"How can Lu Qing's kindness to my mother and son be repaid with a single call? Just call!"

"Your Highness doesn't need to be like this. In fact, this old slave has also recently heard people say that the Empress is the son of heaven, the first concubine, and the head of the concubines. When you go out, you will ride with your majesty. When you enter, you will sit on the same seat. The commander of the six palaces will join your majesty. The father of the world and the mother of the world maintain the regulations of the harem and supervise the order in the palace. Only when the majesty and the empress are in harmony can the country be governed in order and the country can be established. "

Empress He's cultural level can only be said to be barely passable, at most she can read, but she can still hear how much she says.

"I don't know which Zhongqing said these golden and jade words?"

Lu Qiang smiled lightly: "It is said that it is His Majesty's new Yueqi school lieutenant Liu Jian, and His Majesty recognizes him as his brother. Recently, this person is relatively well-known in Luoyang."

Empress He was stunned when she heard the words.

It turns out that he is still a member of the imperial family and has a vision!
Regardless of whether Lu Qiang's words are true or not, this person still needs to keep them firmly in his heart!

Such a person with foresight and status is still a member of the Han family, and the He family must make good friends.

Looking for an opportunity later, I must ask my brother to pay a visit.
