Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 415
The next day after the morning court, the little emperor really mentioned to Han Dun in the South Study Room that Sister Lan went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

Han Dun said: "Sister Lan met an eminent monk a few days ago and said that there will be a bloody disaster in the next three days, and she must go west to avoid the evil.

"Although the theory of ghosts and gods cannot be fully believed, in the end, I would rather believe it than believe it. Therefore, I will send her to Xichuan soon."

The little emperor was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sister Lan is gone, won't Mr. Ge and his wife be lonely?".

Han Dun looked at him deeply: "What instructions does the emperor have?"

The little emperor said: "No. I was just thinking about it. Mr. Han Ge devoted himself to government affairs, and even assisted me in government affairs after he came down from the court. So much so that he has not had any more children in these years.

"If things go on like this, my heart is really uneasy. Therefore, I want to allow the old man to take a three-month holiday. Starting from tomorrow, after the morning court, the old man will not have to come to the Qianqing Palace to serve him."

Han Dun took a breath and squinted his eyes: "The emperor is going to remove the post of assistant government?"

"Elder Pavilion is too worried." The little emperor said, "I just don't want to disregard filial piety for the sake of the government.

"The matter of sons and heirs is extremely important, although I hope that elder Ge will protect the court from wind and rain, but I can't deprive elder elders of everything by relying on the power of being a king.

"During these three months, I will ask the imperial physician to ask the Madam for a pulse on a regular basis. If there is good news, I will respectfully invite the old man to return to the Qianqing Palace to assist the government."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Standing under the curtain, Li Qiu looked this way from time to time.

Han Dun held the Tianzhushi paperweight in his hand and played with it for a while, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, my wife lost her original body when she gave birth to a dog six years ago. The imperial physician once said that there would be no more... heir."

The little emperor groaned and said, "That's a pity." But he didn't say anything more.

When Han Dun was serving tea, his eyes were a little gloomy.

That evening, when he was preparing to go out for dinner, the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly brought two maids to the Han Mansion by order.

"The emperor has a decree. The elder Ge devoted himself to the court, worked day and night, and his sacred heart was restless. He specially bestowed two daughters, Zixin and Luyi, to serve the lord.

"Whoever is pregnant first among the two daughters can be made a noble concubine by decree, and given ten hectares of fertile land and a thousand taels of silver.

"If you give birth to a male heir, there will be another reward for the legitimate child. Please take over the order from the elder."

Han Dun looked at the imperial decree that was approaching him, his face suddenly turned cold, but he turned to smile, and threw the imperial decree into Tan Ji's arms again.

Said: "Prepare a booklet to enter the palace to thank the emperor and queen mother, and say that Han Dun complies with the order."

When the book was uploaded to Qianqing Palace, the little emperor politely said that Mrs. Han Ge had gone out.

Going up to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Empress Dowager Zheng's complexion also turned blue!But he couldn't criticize the little emperor's harmless and innocent face.

Mu and Shen Xi both laughed after hearing the news.

Zixin Luyi came here on orders, and there was a huge temptation there, so she naturally tried her best to find every opportunity to get close to Han Dun.

Mu Shi is the original partner of "Great and Virtuous", and also a concubine sent by the palace, so there is no reason not to cooperate.

Naturally, Han Dun would not fall into the hands of the two little girls, and under their constant pursuit and courteousness, it seemed that he still had the tendency to give in halfway.

Empress Dowager Zheng's heart ached for a few days, and finally thought of another project, and quietly went to the Han Mansion to take Zixin and Lvyi away.

"After the second daughter was brought back to the palace, the imperial physician went to the Compassionate Ning Palace for a physical examination, and just now she changed her appearance and let the Yulin Army lead her out of the palace." Li Qiu reported under the curtain.

The little emperor bit his pen and thought for a while, then waved his hand.

When Li Qiu came under the threshold, he said again: "Is the son free? Please drive him to the Meridian Gate."

Xiao Huai was accompanying Shen Xi on the swing in the courtyard.

After a night of rain, Luohong covered the floor, Xiao Huai spread a tapestry on the swing frame for her to sit on.

"Why have you been so idle recently?" she asked, "I thought you should have plunged into the court, thinking about how to dig a hole for Han Dun."

Xiao Huai shook the swing rope slowly, and said: "Who says I'm not busy? If I'm really free and have nothing to do, the emperor can still give Han Dun such a show?"

Shen Xi stopped: "Is this related to you?"

Of course she knew about the fact that the palace sent the maids to the Han family.

"It's not directly related." He raised his hand to support the rope, and said, "Liang Xiu was almost forced into a dead end, and he had to try to protect him.

"Either he starts from the affair between Han Dun and Zheng Xiu, or he comes looking for me.

"But looking for me is just a bad idea, and he won't do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"The reason why he sent his concubine to Han Dun this time is because he hinted at the Empress Dowager Zheng that she would let him have a child with the Mu family on the grounds of being sympathetic to Han Dun.

"This is a blatant provocation and temptation, because he knows Han Dun's desire for power, and also knows Queen Mother Zheng's selfish desire to monopolize Han Dun.

"What's more, there is an imperial power between them.

"Empress Dowager Zheng will not give in to the hard-won imperial power, while Han Dun needs stronger power to keep himself, so the conflict between them is inevitable."

Shen Xi stopped shaking, and said: "So you helped Han Dun participate in Liang Xiu before, just to force the little emperor to take action?"

"He also wants to get rid of Han Dun day and night. How can I let him watch us fight to the death and get a fisherman's profit in the end?"

Xiao Huai touched her earlobe: "Look, doesn't this force him to tear a gap between Han Dun and Zheng Xiu for us?"

Although Shen Xi had already expected that he was planning to pull the little emperor, he did not expect that the little emperor would hit Han Dun and Zheng Xiu directly.

"Zheng Xiu brought the maid back, naturally she didn't want Han Dun to have any more children.

"Han Dun disagrees with her on this matter, and even with the temptation from the little emperor, he still has to take Zheng Xiu into consideration.

"Because he can't afford to offend Zheng Xiu, if Zheng Xiu is provoked, the situation he will face will be even more troublesome."

"That's right." Xiao Huai gently shook the rope again, "But after all, the emperor has never personally governed, and he has a lot of worries, so there is only so much he can do with Han Dun.

"But the military guard would never give it up to Han Dun. If he gave it to Han Dun, he would have no chance of turning over, so the more difficult Liang Xiu's situation is, the more hatred he will have for Han Dun.

"Han Dun also knows, so he is even more urgent."

Shen Xi pondered for a while, and didn't say anything more.

If it hadn't been for the incident in Cuihu where King Yan directly provoked and intensified the conflict between Liang Xiu and Han Dun, perhaps the situation would not have evolved so quickly.

Suddenly she raised her head again: "How do you know the things in the palace so clearly? Could it be—"

Xiao Huai looked down at her and scratched her nose: "Do you really think I'm doing nothing all day long?"

Shen Xi laughed.So before she didn't know, he had already inserted someone into the palace?
Just at this time, the eunuch who came from the palace to invite Xiao Huai to the palace to ride horses with the little emperor arrived.
