The spring breeze has blown the green branches, and the branches of the willow trees have sprouted tender green shoots. The day dawned earlier and earlier, and the birds sang more and more cheerfully. The farmers took off their bloated winter clothes and began to prepare farm tools. It is another year of spring sowing, and there is a busy scene in Lintong.

Under the rule of Yunxiao, the life of the people of Lintong is thriving. Starvation seems to have been an old topic, and now housewives are not discussing how much rice they have left at home, but learning from each other what kind of dishes they have learned. Every family in Lintong can eat meat several times a month. This makes the elderly farmers very satisfied, and they can't eat meat during the New Year in the past. Now if you don't make dumplings for the New Year, you feel as if you haven't had a dumpling this year.

Inversely proportional to Lintong's thriving standard of living is Liu Qi's thriving body. The supreme ruler of the Han Empire has been coughing up blood for more than half a month and has not held a court meeting.

In June, when the sun was at its most poisonous, there was another bad news, and King Liang hung up.

Empress Dowager Dou cried so much that she almost fainted, and Liu Qi dragged the sick body to worship in front of the sacrificial tent in Chang'an.

"Did you say that you sent someone to execute Ah Wu?"

Empress Dowager Dou pointed at Liu Qi sharply, her fingers trembling. His gray hair turned paler overnight, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife cut. Among the two sons, the eldest son is the eldest grandson. Empress Dowager Dou loves this old son the most, how can she not feel uncomfortable if she goes silently now.

"Mother, the third child died of fever. Since I promised you, I won't have that mind anymore. Moreover, the third child also handed over the military power of Liang State. Even if you want to rebel in the future, you can't do it. Why did I want to kill him, besides, if I disobey the ancestral teachings, I will be punished by the princes. There is no need for the son to risk the resurgence of the world to get rid of the third child.

Doctor Liang Guotai has been summoned to Chang'an, and the medical files are all in the field, and you can send someone to check them. If it is really me who did it, you can order all the princes of the world to fight against me as an emperor. cough cough cough ......"

Liu Qi hurriedly defended himself, and coughed violently in excitement.

"I'll send someone to investigate, okay, don't get excited, don't hurt yourself. The old body is just a son like you, and it is not pleasant for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. The old body is not like tasting again, and the Holy Hand of the Imperial Physician will come to the church. I'll take a good look at you, don't delay. ”

The Queen Mother heard Liu Qi coughing violently. My heart softened.

"I heard that Liu Rong was escorted to Chang'an for questioning because of the encroachment on the land of the temple? You refrain from it. Don't forget the ancestral teachings, and don't forget that he is your son, and the tiger poison does not eat children. It's just locked up and raised, and our family can't die anymore. ”

"Got it, mother. As long as Liu Rongfu pleads guilty. At most, I cut down his fiefdom. Won't be what he does. After all, he is also my own son. The encroachment on the land of the temple has not yet reached the point of imprisonment, and you have thought a little too much. ”

Liu Rong has a palace room in Linjiang, and it is estimated that he is used to being a prince in Chang'an. actually occupied the land of the temple. took the pigtail that was grabbed by the speaker. A piece of impeachment was carried out, and the former prince returned to Chang'an in a carriage again. It's just that he will be greeted by a prison sentence.

Nanshan, the fief of Wei Qihou.

Since being dismissed as the crown prince and concubine, Dou Ying has stayed in his fiefdom most of the time. All day long with a group of rangers such as the bushman, drinking and having fun.

"Wei Qihou is not good, the king of Linjiang has been escorted to Chang'an. I heard that it was still a matter of encroaching on the property of the temple, and His Majesty had already sent the matter to the Imperial Governor's Office. I heard that the guy in Zhidu was waiting for King Linjiang at the city gate. You have a conversation with the teachers and students of Linjiang Wang, and you want to help Linjiang King say a word. Otherwise, the cool official in Zhidu would not have tried King Linjiang to death. ”

The doorman ran in in a panic and shouted at Dou Ying.

"Don't panic, this person is not something I can protect if I can."

"Master Hou, the last time you took your soldiers to the Marquis of Lintong's house, your prestige has been greatly damaged. Those officials who saw the wind and steered the rudder did not come to our house to pay a visit. This time, your student King Linjiang has suffered such a great grievance, if he is taken to be a baby by Zhidu again, how can you ...... in the imperial court in the future?"

Dou Ying was stunned suddenly, the court is the most unkind place. The so-called people go to tea and cool is talking about Dou Ying's current situation. When he was the crown prince and the prince, even if he hid in the Nanshan fiefdom. The officials of those imperial courts are still like flies, and they can't go away.

But now he is not favored, especially after the Lintong Hou incident. His status in the hearts of the courtiers has plummeted, and he has now been snubbed in front of the door. The porter was so idle that he was fighting flies every day, and no one stuffed him with red envelopes and silver.

I can't go on like this, otherwise it won't be long before I will be marginalized by the people of Chang'an. Then there is forgetting, and finally it slowly cools until it becomes a broken settlement. This time, Liu Rong was to be kept down, so that people could see that Wei Qihou still had influence on His Majesty the Emperor.

However, Liu Rong was personally ordered by Liu Qi to enter Beijing to be investigated, and it is impossible for him to release it with simple advice, how can this be good?

"Master Hou, why don't you beg the Queen Mother. After all, King Linjiang is the grandson of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not watch her grandson being bullied by that cool official in Zhidu anyway. ”

Seeing Dou Ying's sad face, the guest hurriedly reminded him.

That's right, how did I forget the Queen Mother. Although this old lady doesn't like Liu Rong very much, the queen mother is the person who most defends the ancestral training of the Liu family. Taizu's testament Liu does not kill Liu, which is the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of the royal family. As long as he said that Zhi Du was not tortured to the king of Linjiang, it would inevitably make the queen mother put pressure on His Majesty. At that time, the emperor will have to let people go even if they don't let go.

A hint of a smile appeared on Dou Ying's face, and he smiled at Ji Fu and said, "You reminded me well, immediately prepare the carriage Ben Hou and go to Changle Palace to see the Queen Mother." ”

This Changle Palace Dou Ying also didn't come for some days, and handed a sign to the guard. After a while, Aunt Ying walked out.

"Wei Qihou, the Queen Mother is not feeling well and does not see outsiders. Please come back. ”

"Uh......" It was the first time that Dou Ying was rejected so bluntly, and Aunt Ying didn't even have a kind word about anything.

"Aunt Ying. What happened to my aunt's body? It doesn't matter, please tell my aunt, otherwise I'm really worried as a nephew. ”

Dou Ying made a concerned expression, Empress Dowager Dou is now the pillar of the Dou family. If she falls, the Dou family will be over, so Dou Ying has to judge from Aunt Ying's expression whether the Queen Mother is sick or not.

"There is Lao Wei Qihou worried, His Majesty has instructed the Queen Mother's illness not to be revealed. Wei Qihou, please go back, the slave still has something to do. Say goodbye first,"

Ying Gu had a cold expression on her face, and Dou Ying couldn't see the slightest problem. This made him scratch his ears and cheeks in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. As the queen mother's most trusted slave, even Dou Ying did not dare to offend. can only watch Aunt Ying's back drift away.

Get off the wrong foot. But Dou Ying did not give up. Eyes rolled. Since the Queen Mother doesn't see herself. Then I went to Guantao's house, this cousin is the only daughter of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother spoiled her so much that she couldn't see the Queen Mother. It's the same to let Guantao give a sentence, thinking of this, Dou Ying instructed: "Go to Guantao Princess's house." ”

This pavilion Tao Princess Mansion. Dou Ying is also ripe. I used to come here with Liu Biao. There was also a one-night affair with a few singers. In retrospect, it's still evocative. It's a pity that since he lost power, he has never come here for a banquet again.

In the past, my own carriage could go straight to the house, but this time. He was stopped at the gate.

"Wei Qihou, my princess is not in the mansion. I also asked Wei Qihou to come back another day. ”

The warrior guarding the door was very respectful to Dou Ying, and he didn't wait for Dou Ying to speak after saluting with his crossed hands. stopped Dou Ying's mouth with a word.

Dou Ying was suddenly choked with a big nest neck, why did he hit a wall everywhere today.

"Where did your princess go, Ben Hou has something to discuss."

"Back to the Hou Ye, the villain doesn't know where Her Royal Highness the princess went. We are subordinates, and we dare not ask these things. Please also ask Lord Hou to forgive his sins. ”

This warrior was clever, and blocked Dou Ying back with one sentence. Dou Ying was right when she thought about it, she was really not the right person to ask. A samurai guarding the door, where dare to ask the whereabouts of Princess Guantao.

Dou Ying thought about it again and again, the person who can speak is either dead or can't see it. The taste of this downfall is really uncomfortable, the so-called life is full of ways to fall into Pingyang today, and it can be regarded as a taste of this downfall. But you villains are waiting, and I, Wei Qihou, will have a comeback one day. When that time comes, let's see if you guys will get on the pole and slap Lao Tzu.

Dou Ying, who ran into a wall left and right, reluctantly returned to Chang'an's mansion and immediately sent someone out to inquire. In the end, whether the Queen Mother was sick or not, and where did Princess Guantao go.

In fact, Dou Ying really blamed Princess Guantao, because the place she went to today really couldn't be with outsiders. Princess Guantao went to a recently opened brothel in Chang'an City today, called "Yihong Courtyard".

The girls in this Yihong Courtyard are all beautiful and gentle, and they are meek and obedient. Unlike those red aunts in Lichun Courtyard, who flirt all day long, this Yihong Courtyard also has an interesting rule. only accepts official people, and ignores those rich people on the rich side. No matter how much money you come up with, the gates of Yihong Courtyard will never be wide open to these rich people. Unless they are relatives of some powerful family, this may open the net.

With this guarantee, there is more elegance in this Yihong Courtyard. There is a little less copper smell of the rich, and there was once a rich man who wanted to go in for a thousand gold. As a result, it was directly erected out by the big-shouldered and round-waisted nursing home, and those copper ingots were thrown out directly.

After this incident, Yihong Hospital became famous. When the courtiers are not only in court, they all like to come here to summon two beauties. Drinking and talking, business is booming day by day. It even overshadowed the spring flower's Reisharu Temple.

Chunhua is easy to bully, with a backstage as hard as the Queen Mother. How could she be afraid of an outsider, and today she specially sent her own head Oiran Runniang. I want to compete with Yihongyuan Oiran, after the news spreads. People in Chang'an City who love to watch the excitement flock to Yihong Courtyard, but the rules of Yihong Courtyard are ignored. People who were not officials were all stopped at the door, and they could only stare at the ocean and sigh.

Princess Guantao is a lively master, and I heard the younger brother of Queen Wang Tian Wei talk about such a lively look. immediately let Tian Wei arrange it, but she was a princess after all. Therefore, I can only drive lightly and enter Yihong Courtyard in a low-key manner. Therefore, few people know where Princess Tao has gone today.

This Yihong Courtyard itself is a famous brothel in Chang'an, Hairpin Building, but the owner of this Yihong Courtyard is wealthy. The price was high, and all the girls in the original hairpin building were sent away. I don't know where to get a group of beautiful beauties with national beauty, and as soon as they came to Chang'an, they took away the souls of many powerful people.

But another strange rule of this Yihong Courtyard is that it doesn't matter how much money you pay. The girl here will never redeem herself, and the current holder of the redemption record of the red aunt in Chang'an City is a woman from the Western Regions named Ellis. And the record that created Zào was what everyone called the cloud of spending a lot of money.

The private room arranged by Tian Wei is in the middle of the second floor, and the view is excellent. A thin sand blocked the view of the people below, but it was clear when looking out from the inside.

There is already an elegant table in the private room, and the dishes inside are very exquisite. The two maidservants were both twenty-eight years old, with willow eyebrows, curved apricot eyes and red lips, and a good figure with a convex and backward curve. Princess Guantao wanted to look at it twice, but the maidservant girl had such a posture. No wonder it became popular so quickly in Chang'an City.

"Yo, how does this dish look like the craftsmanship of the Yun family. Who is this boss, it is not easy to get someone from the Yun family. I said a lot about Kaichun'er, and I got a cook from Lintong Hou. The world has really changed, and I am a dignified princess who does not have the face of a brothel owner. ”

Princess Guantao immediately teased when she saw the dishes on the table.

The dishes on the table are the signature dishes of the Yun family, but they are not made by idle cooks. If you can do it with such a color and flavor, there is no doubt that it must be a cook from Lan Xiang.

"The princess has good eyesight, this is indeed made by the Yun family's cook. However, the princess didn't have to blame Yunhou, it was the two cooks who Tian Wei personally came to beg. Speaking of which, my uncle still doesn't have as much face as the princess. ”

Tian Wei said with a smile on the side. Now that the prince and Gillian are engaged, they are in-laws, and they are not so restrained in their speech.

"Oh, that's weird. What kind of person is this boss, who can actually let Uncle Guo go to the Yun family to intercede in person. ”

Princess Guantao asked in some surprise, she didn't understand how Tian Wei helped this brothel so much.

"To tell you the truth, the owner of this brothel is named Tianrong. It was a distant relative of Tian Wei, so he ...... Hehe. Tian Wei should do his best to be a little relative. (To be continued......)
