I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 19 Cai Lun Returns
"The Empress Dowager Shang Fangling has returned from inspection, is it now?"

"Invite Shang Fangling in immediately, hurry up!"

In the Dahan Changle Palace, Deng Sui, who had just finished dealing with government affairs for a day, had just slowly climbed onto the bed with the help of the palace servants, ready to relieve his sore waist.

But before she could stretch, she heard the news from the palace man that Cai Lun, who had been out for several months to sort out the situation and strengthen the embankments along the Yellow River, had returned.

For a while, Deng Sui didn't care about any rest, and immediately shouted for someone to invite Cai Lun back, so that Cai Lun could come to see her quickly.

At the same time, looking at the completely dark sky, Deng Sui suddenly thought that Cai Lun had only come back at this time, and he must have come all the way at a gallop.

He even used his own edict, even ignoring the curfew.

It must have not been eaten.
"Come here, send the order down, and prepare some food and drink for Shang Fangling. He has worked so hard, so he must not be neglected!"

"only!"

Under Deng Sui's order, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

By the time Cai Lun came to Deng Sui, the meals and table and table cushions were all ready.

"Shang Fangling has been working hard, please hurry up and take your seat.

Ben Gong is not in a hurry, you should eat your food first and then talk."

"My lord, thank you Queen Mother for your understanding!" Cai Lun looked at the table and delicacies in front of him, then at Deng Sui with a kind face, and at the things that were not carefully prepared but full of comfort.

It would be a lie in his heart to say that he was not moved, but now Cai Lun did not accept these good intentions immediately, but directly bypassed the table and bowed to Deng Sui again.

"Empress Dowager, I dare you, can you make the Empress Dowager retreat from everyone?"

"." Deng Sui looked at Cai Lun in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "This"

"Chen, be bold!"

Cai Lun knew that at this time and under such circumstances, it was a bit too much, even quite too much, to say this at the beginning.

But Cai Lun had no choice, the news he got made him a little frightened, he was afraid that if he was not here for a while, the Queen Mother would do something bad.
Looking at Cai Lun who persisted in this way, although Deng Sui frowned more and more, he did not refute him.

Deng Sui knew very well that with Cai Lun's character and ability, if he were not really urgent, he would definitely not be so rude.

And what can make him feel so urgent is probably not a trivial matter.

"You all go down!" Deng Sui waved his hands directly at the crowd, his serious face made all the palace servants and servants around him back down, and at the same time he gave orders again.

"Go and invite Huben Zhonglang to bring Deng Kui here, and tell him to personally guard the Changle Palace for me.

Without the order of the palace, no one can enter! "

"only!"

Under Deng Sui's order, the Changle Palace was under martial law again, and only Deng Sui, the empress dowager of the big man, was left in the whole palace.

And beside Deng Sui, the big man Shang Fangling Cai Lun, who was busy in the world and looked tired.

"Shang Fangling, now this outsider has been dismissed by me, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly.

But outside."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, everything is safe outside!" Cai Lun seemed to be afraid that Deng Sui might misunderstand and worry, so he hurriedly comforted Deng Sui softly, "Although the water level of the Yellow River is still rising.

But I can still support it. The treasuries of these places have also received orders, and everything that needs to be checked has been cleared.

If there is a problem, the official will also be taken down immediately, and the treasury will be filled. Please rest assured, the Queen Mother! "

"Well." Deng Sui nodded quickly after hearing these words, "If that's the case, why is Shang Fangling?"

"Empress Dowager, I have heard that the Empress Dowager granted permission to manage the affairs of Mr. Cao?"

Cai Lun was not polite at this time, and directly stated the purpose of his trip, and his goal was directed at Ban Zhao.

When Deng Sui heard Cai Lun's words, she couldn't help frowning, this time her face was much more gloomy than before.

"Does Shang Fangling disagree?"

"Chen, don't dare!" Cai Lun quickly knelt down in front of Deng Sui, then took a deep breath and continued to speak to Deng Sui, "The queen mother has her own reasons for doing this, and I will never be swayed by the queen mother's order." any comments.

But since the minister is a close minister of the queen mother, and before the death of the first emperor, he specially asked the minister to take care of the queen mother's safety.

If there is something to say, the minister should tell the Queen Mother."

"Tell me!" Deng Sui looked at the solemn Cai Lun and finally nodded, "I don't know what Shang Fangling's opinion is. I am here today, so I should listen carefully."

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I want to ask the Empress Dowager first. I don't know what you think of this Ban Zhao and that Cao?"

"Huiban is a man who abides by women's rules, behaves according to etiquette, integrity and conduct are all worthy of praise. In addition, he was born in the Fufeng Ban family. He is a noble daughter of a famous family. His family has a long history. Down.

Although he has been writing books in Dongguan these years, he has a beautiful heart in his heart, so he should be the help of this palace. "

"What the Empress Dowager said is true, there is no doubt about Master Cao's ability, otherwise, she would not have gained such a great reputation as a woman, and was dubbed Master Cao.

But what I want to ask just now is not what is the ability of Master Cao, but what is the character of this person that the Queen Mother thinks? "

"Character. There is no need to say more about Huiban's character. His moral conduct is well known in the world."

"Everyone knows? There are so many fools in this world, and what is known by the world may not be right." Cai Lun sneered directly at this time, facing Deng Sui, he finally stopped being polite.

"Although I don't know that Mr. Cao very well, I still know about Mr. Cao's reputation.

I heard that Mr. Cao in Dongguan these years not only continued to write the "Han Shu" left by his brother, but even started to write "Nv Commandments", which is the guide for women in the world.

Although this has not yet been written into a book, it has already been circulated and has been well received!
Although Weichen is not a woman, but because of curiosity, she has some understanding of the words in the "Women's Commandments".

Between the lines, I have to say that the last sentence is worthy of being born in a famous family, and the style of writing is remarkable, which is not something ordinary people can write.

And here, the four characters of male superiority and female inferiority are vividly expressed, which is really a lot of painstaking effort.

But what does the Queen Mother think of this thing? "

"What Shang Fangling wants to say, you can just say it."

"Forgive me, the Empress Dowager, it doesn't matter if men are superior to women, or if the couple treat each other like guests, what should this be? I shouldn't say anything with this broken body.

But now that the Empress Dowager is in power, such words should not appear! "
