Han family achievements

Chapter 86 Resist
Inside the palace.

Yongle Palace.

Empress Dowager He looked at a gray-haired old man who was nearly seventy years old, with a smile all over her face, and said, "Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect you to come to Beijing. I knew it earlier, so I went to pick you up in person."

This old man has no beard, is hale and hearty, and his body is full of books. His name is Yuan Bao.

He smiled with Empress Dowager He, and said: "The old man is so quiet that he wants to move. Go out for a walk and meet old people in the capital. If you don't come again, you may never have another chance. This time to see the Empress Dowager, it is also a farewell."

Empress Dowager He's complexion changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "Mr. is a blessed person, and he will live a long life. Don't belittle yourself."

Yuan Bao didn't care, and said openly: "Life and death depend on the heavens, how can manpower be forced? Empress Dowager, please listen to the old man's advice, if you follow the trend, don't be tyrannical. The way of heaven and earth lies in nature."

Empress Dowager He heard what he meant, and asked in confusion, "Sir, what is the purpose of coming to Beijing this time?"

Yuan Bao did not pretend to hide, and said: "Since Emperor Huan, there has been a habit of killing. Scholars are all in danger and live in fear. Now His Majesty has succeeded to the throne. In just a few months, one palace change, one eunuch party, two It is horrifying to hear that over ten thousand people have died in vain. The imperial court intends to kill the Yuan family, fearing that they will slaughter countless more. This old man is here, hoping to stop one or two."

Empress Dowager He didn't like government affairs very much, and she seldom interfered, so she couldn't help turning to the maid beside her.

The maid bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I heard that His Majesty is ill, but I haven't heard of any intention to destroy the Yuan family."

Empress Dowager He understood, looked at Yuan Bao, hesitated to speak.

Yuan Bao was Ye Tingcheng more than ten years ago, he chose Empress Dowager He and brought her into the palace, and Empress Dowager He was also taken care of by Yuan Bao in the palace.

It can be said that everything about the Empress Dowager He and the He family all benefited from this Yuan Bao.

This Yuan Bao doesn't love money and doesn't want to be an official, he likes to study, and Empress Dowager He has been unable to start repaying him all these years.

After a long time, Empress Dowager He stood up and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm going to see Bian'er."

Yuan Bao got up immediately and said: "Madam, I have no other intentions, I just ask your Majesty to be benevolent and not to kill."

Empress Dowager He nodded slightly, sent Yuan Bao out of the palace, and then went straight to Jingfu Hall.

The side hall of Jingfu Palace.

While Liu Bian was coughing and suppressing the drowsiness after taking the medicine, he was talking to Tang Mao, the cheap father-in-law opposite.

Tang Mao, prefect of Kuaiji, Tang Ji's father.

Tang Ji sat on her knees and poured tea for the two of them, keeping her head down and blushing.

Tang Mao's facial features are rigid, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, he looks like a romantic celebrity.

Sitting opposite Liu Bian, he was secretly delighted that this daughter was the first to be brought into the harem by the new Majesty, bowed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the people in Kuaiji are simple, the style of study is strong, the people are rich, and their lives are stable. The land of happy fish."

Liu Bian kept coughing, his mind was frozen, and he said with a smile, "I know the achievements of the Qing family. I will make other arrangements for the Qing family to stay in Beijing temporarily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Mao said.He was as calm as usual, but his heart was filled with excitement, and there were three words that kept echoing in his heart - General.

Liu Bian doesn't have much thinking ability now, but this is the first father-in-law, so he has to be treated well.

He took a sip of tea, suppressed the itch in his throat, and said to Tang Mao, "Does the Qing family have other things to do besides the job report this time?"

"It's nothing else." Tang Mao said.There are two most important purposes for him to enter Beijing this time, one is to send Tang Ji into the palace, and the other is to seek development in the new dynasty. Now that he has both, naturally there is nothing else.

Liu Bian nodded slightly, and reached for the teacup again.

Tang Ji understood, and whispered to her father: "Father, Your Majesty is not feeling well today, why don't we talk about it another day."

Tang Mao glanced at the daughter who had turned her elbow outward, paused for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I dare you to be cautious about the matter of the Yuan family, and think twice before acting."

Liu Bian became more and more sleepy, he had already made up his mind about the Yuan family, his smile was a little less, and he said, "Have you looked for the Qing family?"

Tang Mao bowed and said: "Yes. Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, the Tang family has some connections with the Yuan family, and they were also married. When I was young, I was educated in the Yuan family."

Liu Bian already knew this.

He coughed, took a long breath, and said: "The Qing family has seen that I am a little seriously ill, let's talk about it another day."

Seeing this, Tang Mao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I am interceding for the Yuan family not for the sake of previous favors. It is to destroy the Yuan family. The consequences will be serious and unpredictable. I do not ask for your majesty's pardon, but only for your majesty to stay. If there is room, this room is for the Yuan family, for the noble families in the world, and for Your Majesty."

Liu Bian was a little drowsy, he couldn't hear much sound in his ears, tried to open his eyes wide, and replied with a universal formula: "Okay, I understand."

Tang Ji supported Liu Bian to get up, and was about to turn back to the bedroom.

Seeing this, Tang Mao wanted to say something again, but in the end he could only sigh silently.

Tang Ji helped Liu Bian out of the side hall, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will make medicine for you later, you must take the medicine on time to get well sooner."

Liu Bian was so sleepy that he hummed, a little unsteady in his standing, and walked step by step while leaning on the wall.

"Baby, what's going on here?"

Suddenly, Liu Bian heard an exclamation in his ears, looked up, and saw Empress Dowager He walking over quickly, helping him with his other arm, with a worried face.

"Queen, I'm fine, I just feel cold." Liu Bian forced a smile.

Empress Dowager He didn't think much about it, she supported him and said: "Bian'er, Empress Mother heard that you sent troops to surround Yuan Mansion?"

No matter how sleepy and stiff his mind was, Liu Bian still tried his best to maintain a trace of sobriety, and said with a smile: "I have never made such an order. Queen Mother, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Empress Dowager He was startled, and said: "Hurry up, doctor Chuan, Bian'er, hold on for a while, and you'll be in the bedroom soon."

Not long after, Liu Bian was placed on the bed, Tang Ji went to cook medicine, and Empress Dowager He sat by the bed, seeing Liu Bian's discomfort, she felt very distressed.

Liu Bian kept blinking, as if he would fall asleep in the next moment, but he didn't dare to sleep, so he supported himself strongly.

Empress Dowager He's face twitched, but she still said, "Bian'er, why did you send troops to surround Yuan's house?"

Liu Bian said: "I have never made such a decree."

Empress Dowager He was overjoyed and said, "Then let them come back."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Queen Mother, there must be reasons for the courtiers to act."

Empress Dowager He frowned, and said: "The Yuan family can't be killed, you think of other ways, if you don't make an order, I will make an order."

Liu Bian looked at Empress Dowager He, feeling irritable and having a splitting headache.

The reason why he didn't dare to sleep was because he was guarding against this!The whole big man, only Queen Mother He can hold him down.

Although Liu Bian decreed that the harem should not be involved in politics, it was aimed at his harem and could not include his cheap father's harem.

If the Empress Dowager He really issued an order, Wang Yun and others could only stop their troops and give up, they would be powerless to resist.

Liu Bian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, managed to regain consciousness, and gasped, "Mother, the Yuan family forged uncle's letter in an attempt to send troops to Beijing. They are more terrifying than eunuchs. I can let them go today." Let them go, they may not let our mother and son go tomorrow..."
