Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Yan Mu first untied Hongxuan and then asked him what was going on.

It turned out that two days ago, the palace received news that Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang were returning to Beijing. The emperor was very happy and did not see anything unusual. But today he came to class, and when he was not prepared, the emperor suddenly tied him up.

"The emperor said that since you are back, someone from the court will be in charge. He will go out and explain when he comes back." Hongxuan sighed.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Himself?"

"Two boys, Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Yuchen, are following."

After hearing this, Yan Mu felt relieved.

"Perhaps you can guess why he left the palace?"

Hongxuan stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then said, "It's not necessarily for anything."

"Oh?"

"Perhaps it's because of anger." Hongxuan saw Yan Mu's eyes were sharper, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I only made a guess. Although the emperor has always been steady, he is only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. You and the Queen Mother were not here earlier. In the palace, he had to deal with all the affairs of the court. When he was tired, he complained, saying that you two were free and easy, but your son was suffering. He also said that when you come back, he would give the son back to you immediately. , and then go out and be crazy for two years.”

At this point, Hongxuan coughed twice and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry with you two and seriously go out to play."

Yan Mu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "This boy is obedient, sensible, and considers the overall situation, but he still has a wild streak in his heart."

Liu Yunxiang sent someone to ask the emperor. Yan Mu wanted to summon several ministers, so he asked Hongxuan to explain to Liu Yunxiang.

Arriving at Feifeng Palace, Hongxuan told the story again.

Liu Yunxiang felt guilty and said, "Forget it, let him go and play. It's just that there is no need to be at home outside. Their three children are really worrying."

"The prince has sent secret guards to look for the emperor. Once he is found, he will protect him secretly."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "There are also Li Xiuyuan's family and Xiao Yuchen's family. I guess their parents don't know yet. You can come to the door in person and explain it to them. Please don't worry."

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang stayed with Hongxuan to drink tea, and asked how the old prince's illness was, and what happened outside the court.

It was not easy for her to get involved in the political affairs of the court, but as the Queen Mother, she needed to have a clear understanding of matters outside the court, such as public sentiment.

"The old prince is actually not sick, he is just hiding from people." Hongxuan said.

"Who are you hiding from?" Liu Yunxiang asked funny.

The old prince was notoriously stubborn and arrogant. He would be afraid of anyone who had the ability to pretend to be sick and hide away.

When Hongxuan mentioned this, he wanted to laugh but was speechless at the same time.

"Zhang, the wife of Guan Shan, Minister of the Ministry of War, wants the court to provide her with justice. She wants Guan Shan to be divorced, and she wants Guan Shan to compensate her for all the hard work and sacrifices she has made for the Guan family, to serve her parents-in-law, to serve Guan Shan, and to raise her children. Youth. Do you think it's funny? What Zhang is talking about is all nonsense. But no matter what, this is Guan Shan's family matter and can be solved behind closed doors. However, Zhang insists on making trouble. Now the officials are looking at Guan Shan. joke."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Mrs. Guan wouldn't make trouble for no reason, right? Why?"

"Ahem." Hongxuan coughed dryly, "No, your father, ahem, Mr. Liu, he invited a few old friends to have a drink. Prince Youshun, me, and several other old masters, There is also Guanshan." Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes. Her father used to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He really didn't have the face to invite these first- and second-grade officials, especially the old prince. It must be because of her face that these people went to his banquet.

"At the banquet, Guan Shan got drunk. After returning home, we don't know what happened. Anyway, he and his wife got involved and injured the person."

"He beat Mrs. Guan? Is it serious?"

"It took me half a month to get out of bed, so I guess it's not serious. Men, when drunk, will inevitably lose control. It's partly because women are too nagging."

Liu Yunxiang didn't like to hear this, but she wouldn't argue with a Taoist priest who had never married a wife.

"and after?"

"Later, Mrs. Guan became obsessed and insisted that Guan Shan kowtow to her to apologize, and she also wrote a letter of guilt and posted it outside. Of course Guan Shan disagreed, so Mrs. Guan made a fuss about divorcing him. Since then, only women have been divorced. Yes, how can a man be divorced, especially when Guan Shan is a high-ranking member of the imperial court. In this case, Mrs. Guan went to Prince Shun and asked him to make the decision for her. Prince Shun tried to persuade him, but Mrs. Guan not only did not appreciate it, but also scolded Prince Shun. , and blocked him at the palace gate every day, whenever he went to court or to the palace, Mrs. Guan could always block him and talk to him about those absurd things."

At this point, Hongxuan was still a little angry.

"Mrs. Guan is really a fierce and arrogant person. She actually forced Prince Shun to pretend to be sick and not dare to go out."

Liu Yunxiang chuckled, "It was a disaster caused by a banquet."

"No, your father went to the Guan family to persuade Mrs. Guan, but Mrs. Guan poured cold water on him."

"Haha, I'm afraid he didn't persuade Mrs. Guan, but preached or even criticized Mrs. Guan."

She still understands her father.

"Mr. Liu is right. He waded into this muddy water not because Guan Shan drank the wine at his house."

Liu Yunxiang thought that both the old prince and her father deserved it. Who made them look down on women and favor Guan Shan? Of course, after all, this matter was just a trivial matter in the official's family, and it was not easy for her to interfere. I think the days of trouble will eventually pass. If she intervenes, it will make things worse.

After sending Hongxuan away, Xingyi walked in, hesitated and said, "Grandpa came into the palace yesterday."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What did he do in the palace?"

"My grandfather often goes to the palace and says that you and father are not in the palace and he doesn't trust us." Xingyi sat down next to Liu Yunxiang and said.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. When she and Yan Mu were in trouble before, she never saw him, her grandfather, caring about her children.

"He said that you are going back to the palace and asked me to send you a message."

"What?"

"He wants you to go home and visit him early. He said this is for your own good, so as not to give you an unfilial reputation."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes. Liu Zan wanted her to go back to Liu's house to visit him. I'm afraid it wasn't for her reputation, but to show others that he was the Queen Mother's father and that the Queen Mother respected him.

Liu Zan has such a good face, and he wants her to support him!

"I really should go visit him." Give him a pat on the back for not getting too carried away. (End of chapter)
