I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 201 I Finally Met Huo Chengjun (Subscribe)
After dismissing the idlers in the hall, the mother and son were finally able to have some private conversations.

"The family banquet ordered by the general is in the afternoon, and there is still an hour before this time. Actually, the emperor doesn't have to come so early." The majesty of the world.

"I came early to give the Queen Mother a birthday present."

"Didn't I tell Langzhong Yu before that I won't accept birthday gifts this year?" Although the Queen Mother Shangguan said so, she didn't look too annoyed.

"These birthday presents are all gadgets bought by Langzhong Yu from Beichengguo. They just hope to please the Queen Mother. They are not expensive things, and they add up to less than a thousand dollars."

After Liu He finished speaking, he nodded towards Yu Wuyou, who immediately ran outside the hall, took two Changyi Langs, and brought in a camphorwood box.

After all, the Empress Dowager Shangguan was not very old, and she stayed in the palace since she was a child, so she hardly had the childhood that a normal girl should have.

But she was naturally envious of those things that the maids around her often mentioned.

Now that he heard that Liu He brought it to him, his interest was even more aroused.

"Come on, Yu Wuyou, present a congratulatory gift to the Empress Dowager."

"promise."

Yu Wuyou said, and opened the box.

A pile of various odds and ends appeared in front of the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

Nothing more than some shuttlecocks, puppets, bone crutches and other small things.

But the Empress Dowager Shangguan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

It seems that buying, buying, buying, and giving away are useful in any era.

Liu He himself didn't have time to do this, so he had to ask Yu Wuyou to come to Changle Palace a few more times in the future to learn how to please the Queen Mother for himself.

After the Empress Dowager Shangguan ordered people to accept all the cheap birthday gifts in this box, Liu He began to get down to business.

"Empress Dowager, at the court meeting that day, Father Zhong was dissatisfied with Xiahou Sheng's affairs. I'm afraid Father Zhong will have resentment at today's family banquet."

"Actually, that day, after you proposed to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple title at the court meeting, the general came to me once, and he said that you shouldn't make your own claims, and I shouldn't stop you from the sidelines. "

The Empress Dowager Shangguan spoke lightly, but Liu He had seen Huo Guang's domineering behavior before, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan must have suffered a lot of grievances because of this.

"Why didn't the Queen Mother mention this to me?" Liu He asked.

This is no affectation, but an unadorned concern for political allies.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

This is the relationship between Liu He and the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan smiled miserably and said, "Even if I tell the emperor about this matter, what can the emperor do?"

"Then I won't let the queen mother save Xia Housheng. In this way, the pressure on the queen mother will be less."

"This matter has passed, so don't mention it again. If I can give the emperor a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, even if I am reprimanded by the general, it will not hurt."

"Even if the general is angry again, he will have to endure it in the end, after all, he can't abolish me, the queen mother."

Yes, there are only deposed queens, how could there be deposed queen mothers.

If you want to abolish the queen mother, you must first abolish the emperor.

But the queen mother disagreed, and the emperor was not so easily abolished.

Asking is cold lips and teeth.

……

There was silence.

Liu He didn't know how to start.

To be pitiful, in this Weiyang Palace, the Empress Dowager Shangguan is more pitiful than herself.

At least he still has a future, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan is doomed to stay in the Changle Palace facing the past.

Be the widow of Emperor Xiaozhao alone.

Liu He remembered Liu's illness.

That lucky guy is probably following Guo Kai to be happy in Xiadu at the moment.

I really envy him.

Thinking of Liu's illness, Liu He naturally thought of the lively North City.

Perhaps, one day, the Empress Dowager Shangguan can also come out of the palace?

When Liu He was a little dazed in his thoughts, the Empress Dowager Shangguan spoke instead.

"Today's family banquet, does the emperor have anything to worry about?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, what I am most worried about is not things, but people. I have never met Huo Chengjun, nor Huo Xian. I don't know what kind of temperament they are."

"I'm not very familiar with these two, but Cheng Jun is quite gentle, not as domineering as the general. If you don't talk about family, she should also be a woman who is suitable for an IKEA."

Liu He heard the implication, what kind of person Huo Chengjun is is not important, what is important is that she is a child of the Huo family, Liu He can only deal with it carefully.

"As for Huo Xian..." The Empress Dowager Shangguan obviously hesitated for a while, and finally chose a milder word and said, "Huo Xian, with a hot temper, is another pillar of the Huo family. Works better than the General."

"The young people in the Huo family's clique all have Huo Yu as their core, and Huo Yu looks heroic, but in fact he is Huo Xian's immature son." The words of the Empress Dowager Shangguan were full of ridicule.

Liu He nodded thoughtfully.

After hearing these words of the Empress Dowager Shangguan, Liu He's conjecture was confirmed.

Huo Chengjun is not difficult to deal with, but it is Huo Xian who is difficult to deal with.

Thinking about it, Huo Xian once caused a lot of harm to the Queen Mother Shangguan.

It seems that the Empress Dowager Shangguan's evaluation just now has been very restrained.

This Huo Xian is actually a poisonous woman, a real poisonous woman.

In the original historical trajectory, she was the one who poisoned Xu Pingjun to death and helped Huo Chengjun to become the queen.

Later, he became even more frenzied and wanted to poison the sick prince to death.

And it was her who completely wiped out the possibility of the Huo family's smooth landing.

I don't know what crazy things Huo Xian will do in the face of Liu He.

"Queen Mother, I'm worried that they will ask Huo Chengjun to enter the palace early during the banquet, but I don't want her to enter the palace yet."

"Why is this? The world expects the emperor and empress to give birth to an heir soon." Shangguan Empress Dowager said half jokingly and half seriously.

"But I feel that now is not the time. I want to be a good emperor first, and I don't want to be distracted by the matter of my heirs."

The Empress Dowager heard some implication.

She looked at the emperor with a questioning look, but the emperor looked as usual and did not respond.

"But Huo Chengjun will still enter the palace next year."

"Then let's talk about it at that time. At least at this moment, I don't want to. If this happens, I will ask the Queen Mother to come around."

After a while, the Empress Dowager Shangguan nodded.

Next, Liu He chatted with the Empress Dowager Shangguan about the court affairs.

Although the Empress Dowager Shangguan didn't care much about government affairs, after all she had been a queen for so long, she still knew a thing or two about court affairs.

Especially some courtiers in the court, through the narration of Shangguan Empress Dowager, Liu He understood it more clearly.

And Liu He also obtained some information about the few people he cared about the most.

For example, Wei Xiang is an upright person who will never bow to any powerful person.

For example, Fu Jiezi is still in good spirits and always wants to go to the Western Regions again to do something great.

Another example is that Su Wu's son was involved in Shangguan Jie's rebellion, so he was sentenced to be the leader of the king. Since then, Su Wu, who has demonstrated the power of the Han Dynasty, has rarely shown himself in the court.

……

These characters are crucial to what Liu He will do in the future.

There is always no harm in knowing it early.

After about an hour, everything that should be discussed was finished.

The audience outside the hall passed on the news that the general had entered the palace.

Under the busyness of the servants of Changxin Hall, the location of the family banquet was quickly arranged.

The empress dowager and the emperor sat at the top of the jade steps, and the four Huo family members were at the bottom—even if it was a family banquet, it still had to be etiquette.

Within the Han Empire, the empress dowager and the emperor should sit at the top, this is a fact that no one can change.

……

At noon, Huo Guang led his family outside the Changxin Hall.

Huo Guang walked in the front, Huo Xian and Huo Chengjun were in the middle, and Huo Yu followed behind.

Seeing them coming slowly, for some reason, Liu He, who was used to many big scenes, was still a little nervous.

Today, he brought a total of eight Changyi Langs here, who are guarding the corridor outside the hall with their weapons.

As long as he gave an order, Changyi Lang would rush in, which was not good for Huo Guang.

Although Chang Yilang was not as heroic as Huo Yu, he was at least [-]% sure to kill them in the hall.

However, Liu He couldn't do that.

Not to mention that there are Huo Dang like Fan Mingyou outside the palace.

What's more terrible is that Huo Guang is the assistant minister at the moment. Although he is domineering, he has not done anything absolutely unforgivable.

Liu He could not kill Huo Guang without full assurance and sufficient reasons.

If you really do that, I'm afraid there will be an uproar in the court and everyone will be in danger.

So we can only wait, wait for some of them to do crazy things.

At that time, it was justifiable for Liu He to start.

"Veteran Huo Guang and his relatives send greetings to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor!"

"I send my greetings to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor."

All four of the Huo family bowed down.

"Free from etiquette." Shangguan Empress Dowager said, "They are all from my own family, and today is a family banquet, so there is no need to stick to etiquette."

"Thank you Queen Mother and Your Majesty the Emperor."

The four members of the Huo family stood up and sat down one by one.

At this time, Liu He finally saw Huo Chengjun's appearance and figure clearly.

She has a slender figure, a handsome face, a well-behaved manner, and a hint of shyness, not to mention arrogance.

No matter if you look at it by the standards of a big man or the standards of future generations, Huo Chengjun is a good match.

Liu He couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, and sighed secretly.

Why was this woman born in the Huo family?
