Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 68
The weak Emperor Su turned from love to fear of Zhang Liangdi, and was helpless; she became a queen with great ambitions.Li Fuguo colluded with Empress Zhang, and his power overwhelmed the sky. Yuan Chunying, the most beautiful official lady, had to marry him.After marriage, Yuan Chunying trembled with fright when she saw Li Fuguo. Her unspeakable secrets were beyond everyone's expectations, and after going through countless twists and turns, Miss Chunying's final outcome was even more beyond everyone's expectations...

1. When Li Fuguo was successful, he became rampant

The eunuch in the Tang Palace started with Gao Lishi, but if Gao Lishi is a cicada, then Li Fuguo is a praying mantis, and the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen in front of Li Fuguo is a squirrel, and Yu Chaoen was also a mantis in the palace at that time. One of the most powerful three eunuchs.

Li Fuguo, who was extremely ugly, was originally a young eunuch in the palace. He had served under Gao Lishi for more than [-] years. Because he had a little knowledge, Gao Lishi recommended him to Crown Prince Li Heng to serve in the East Palace.When Prince Li Heng came to the throne in Lingwu, he had worked hard to become a trusted family and was worshiped as the marching commander.

Li Fuguo always acted cautiously in front of Suzong Li Heng.He is the best at catering to Shang’s wishes. Seeing that the emperor believes in Buddhism, he also believes in Buddhism. He often goes to Buddhist temples to worship. He often patted Li Fuguo on the shoulder and said: "This is the most virtuous man in the world!" Therefore, Li Fuguo was insidious and vicious in his actions. Don't say that he didn't know about it, even if someone told him, Suzong would not believe it.

After Suzong returned to Beijing, Li Fuguo was worshiped as the prisoner in the palace, the director of field planting in Wufang Palace, the envoy of Longyou group herds, the envoy of Changchun Palace in Jingji, the second prisoner in the palace of the Shaofu, and he was granted the title of Duke of the State. There are five hundred households in Shiyi.All officials in the court who want to meet the emperor must pay homage to Li Fuguo first.Every edict issued by Suzong must be signed by Li Fuguo before it can pass.At that time Li Fuguo came and went in and out of the palace, and there were [-] warriors wearing armor to protect him. His family and nobles did not dare to call him by his first name, and everyone wanted to worship him as a godson, but Li Fuguo refused to recognize him.At that time, there was only the prime minister Li Kui, who secretly donated a lot of money, and finally made Li Fuguo his foster father.

The noble and proud Li Fuguo, because he was under Gao Lishi since he was a child, Gao Lishi still looks down on him even now, and when he meets him sometimes, Gao Lishi ignores him, and even doesn't even look at him, Li Fuguo can't help but hate him.Li Fuguo was humiliated by Gao Lishi again in the event of Jiaozhi forcing Emperor Xuanzong to move to the West, and his intention to kill Gao Lishi was even worse.On the second day after Emperor Xuanzong moved into the west, Li Fuguo made another decree to exile a group of powerful ministers of the emperor's old days to a remote place, among which Gao Lishi was exiled to Lingnan.

Gao Lishi knew that the Supreme Emperor was unable to protect him at this time. After receiving the edict, he wept and worshiped: "I have been dead for a long time, and I have been pitied by the emperor, so I can live until today. Now I only hope to see the emperor again for the last time. Even though I am dead, I have no regrets!" Li Fuguo didn't agree at all, so the warrior immediately dragged Gao Lishi out of the palace, and went to jail.Before leaving, Gao Lishi cried in the direction of the emperor and said: "I have more regrets for my death, my lord!" The humiliation finally vomited blood, a burst of grief of losing power pierced his heart, and before the frantic tears flowed happily, he died at the age of 79.When Gao Lishi was at the peak of his power, he was worshiped as a general of hussars and named Duke of Bohai County. At that time, there were hundreds of rooms in Qionglou, and the treasures hidden in the treasury were beyond the reach of the state treasury.Now he is nothing but a ragged robe, a handful of dry bones, he closes his eyes, stretches his legs and goes away.

After Gao Lishi's death, Li Fuguo was even more unscrupulous, because he is now married to Queen Zhang to the point where Queen Zhang obeys him. Suzong feared Queen Zhang, and began to fear Li Fuguo.

2. From love to fear

When Suzong Li Heng was the prince, he had a deep friendship with Wu, who was later named Queen Zhangjing, and gave birth to the later Emperor Daizong.Suzong Li Heng had not ascended the throne in time, but the Wu family had died of a short life, so he continued to marry Wei Yuanwa's daughter as the crown princess. The current Empress Zhang was only a good concubine at that time.Not long after, Concubine Wei's brother was framed to death by Li Linfu, and Prince Li Heng was afraid of hurting himself. Concubine Wu was so afraid of Li Linfu that she became sick with fear and died at a young age; , Concubine Wei was destroyed and demoted to the cold palace.At this time, only Zhang Liangdi was able to serve Prince Li Heng exclusively.

Mrs. Zhang is intelligent and eloquent by nature, and she is also considerate and caters to others.Xuanzong avoided the troops and went west, Suzong Li Heng slept every night, Zhang Liangdi must live in the front room, Suzong said: "The front room is dangerous, it is not a place for you as a woman." Zhang Liangdi replied: "Your Highness, just stay in the back room." Sleep peacefully in the room, if something unexpected happens, I would like to use my whole body to block the thief, and His Highness can also take the opportunity to take refuge from behind the tent; I would rather harm my concubine than hurt Your Highness." Suzong Li Heng was deeply moved by Zhang Liangdi, so he was moved and loved, and deeper and deeper.

When Xuanzong gave Suzong the seat of Zen, he heard about Zhang Liangdi's virtuousness, so he gave him a carved saddle made of seven treasures.Li Mi, a loyal minister, did not approve of such an approach: "Now that the world is falling apart, we should show people frugality. Zhang Liangdi should not ride on this saddle carved with seven treasures. Please remove the pearls and jade on the saddle and pay them to the treasury officials for collection, so as to reward those who have made meritorious service."

At this time, Suzong was relying heavily on Li Mi, and he listened to all his performances.But Zhang Liangdi was very unhappy because of this. To comfort her, Emperor Suzong planned to make Zhang Liangdi the queen, but he was afraid that Li Mi would disagree, so he stated his reasons in a deliberative tone: "Zhang Liangdi's grandmother is the sister of my grandmother, Empress Dou Zhaocheng, the emperor. I also like Zhang Liangdi quite a lot. I want Zhang Liangdi to be in the middle palace, what is your intention?" Li Mi thought it was inappropriate, so the matter of Zhang Liangdi becoming a queen was put on hold for the time being.

Zhang Liangdi tried her best to serve the emperor, worked hard, and hoped that Suzong would be favored by Suzong, so she would be able to make a succession early, but Li Mi, who was not beautiful, said a few words, and one day's good deeds turned into smoke. , There are often words of resentment against Li Mi.

Li Biliao knew that there must be villainous words behind his back, so he repeatedly asked Suzong to retreat. Suzong said with tears: "I share the troubles with my husband, and I should share happiness with him." He tried his best to plan a step-by-step action plan for Suzong, and Suzong followed Li Mi's plan, and he succeeded step by step.But Li Mi was originally ambitious. He was assisting Suzong to pacify the world, regain the two capitals and welcome back the queen. He originally wanted to rule the world and create a prosperous world.However, after the death of the emperor, Suzong loved Zhang Liangdi at home and Li Fuguo outside, with Li Mi's great wisdom and great strategy, he knew that if he didn't leave early, he would kill himself and bring disaster to his family, so Emperor Suzong tried to persuade him to stay. Request, willing to return to Hengshan.

Emperor Suzong had no choice but to issue an imperial edict to Li Mi with three grades of salary, grant hermit clothes, and pay [-] yuan to build a garden for Li Mi on Hengshan Mountain.Li Fuguo saw that Li Bi Neng resigned with interest, and his wish of monopolizing power was gradually realized, so he didn't harm him, and let Mr. Li live a happy and carefree old age.

Li Mi lived in Hengshan, and he planted pine and cherry trees around his house. He named the house he lived in as "Yanghe Thatched Cottage".Once, at the foot of Mount Heng, he accidentally found a pine tree in the shape of a dragon, and sent someone to Beijing to present it to Suzong.

As soon as Li Mi resigned, Suzong made Zhang Liangdi the queen.Empress Zhang saw that Emperor Suzong was weak and sick, and was too lazy to ask about government affairs. She also took care of state affairs for the emperor in the deep palace. At first, she still discussed with the emperor and acted on her own.Suzong was sick all over, and he was too lazy to take care of it, and he was also a queen who acted recklessly.Sometimes I don't want her in my heart, but I can't bear to take care of her if I am afraid that she will be unhappy.

3. The old eunuch marries a wife

Empress Zhang, who was in power, colluded with the prime minister, Li Fuguo, and tried every means to make Suzong, who was sick and weak, spend more time in the inner palace and less in the court. If a group of ministers wanted to see the emperor, they had to honor Li Fuguo first before passing on the news. .So Jingzhao Yin Yuanzhuo used a large piece of Tianzhou Wenyu and found a skilled craftsman to carve it into a beauty to honor Li Fuguo.

This kind of warm jade is a rare treasure, no matter how cold the weather is, the jade is always warm; rubbed or hugged in the quilt in the morning and evening, it feels as warm as a real person's skin.Now Jingzhao Yin Yuanzheng uses it to carve it into the appearance of a beauty. The high-quality and high-quality materials are matched with the beauty of the sky and the country, which can be called double excellence.Li Fuguo got it, and he was really happy. Although he was a castrated eunuch, he couldn't let go of his lust. This jade beauty gave him great comfort and satisfaction.So Li Fuguo said good things for him in front of the emperor, and Yuan Zhuo and Li Fuguo have become good friends since then.

On that day, Jingzhao Yin Yuanzheng prepared a grand banquet at home, and invited Li Fuguo to the banquet alone.Yuan Zhuo summoned a group of prostitutes who came to the family to have a feast of singing, dancing and drinking. Li Fuguo was so happy that he danced and swayed, and got drunk without knowing it.Li Fuguo had heard for a long time that Miss Chunying, the daughter of Yuan Zhuo, was peerless, and now he used wine to cover his face, so he salivated cheekily and said to Yuan Zhuo: "We have a good family, can't we have a wife and a daughter?"

Yuan Zhuo has several sons, but his daughter only has such a little Jiaojiao. Although he was a little surprised when he heard this, he thought that Director Li had been castrated, so he didn't have any other meanings, so he entered the room in person. The inner courtyard went to ask his wife and daughter to come out to meet Director Li.

Yuan Zhuo's daughter, Miss Chunying, is not only charming and beautiful, but also full of poems and books, and understands some righteousness. Many rich and noble families come to marry. Unable to understand love, she refused on the pretext of "I would like to stay in my boudoir forever and serve my parents forever".

When Li Fuguo saw the youthful and beautiful Miss Chunying, his heart was bursting with joy, his squinting eyes were only twirling under Miss Chunying's temple skirt, and he said vaguely: "Prefect Yuan! Your gentle beauty My son, how can this flower of interpreting language make this old man fall in love with you!" In one sentence, Miss Chunying was shy, and hurriedly covered her face with her green sleeves, and was supported by the nanny, and retreated into the back hall.

Then the next day, Xiangguo Li Kui came to Yuan Zhuo's mansion to matchmaking for Director Li, and wanted to marry Yuan Jin's daughter as his wife.Mrs. Yuan's charming daughter has turned down countless wealthy families. Now that Li Fuguo is a eunuch and more than twice her age, Mrs. Yuan refuses to say anything.Reluctantly, Yuan Zhuo was eager for fame and fame, and regardless of whether his wife was willing or not, Miss Chunying was willing or not, he wholeheartedly agreed to recruit Li Fuguo as his son-in-law.I don't know how many times poor Miss Chunying cried to death, and Madam Yuan didn't know how many times she quarreled with her husband, but it was useless in the end. This young girl with pink make-up and exquisite decoration finally came to her on the auspicious day her father chose Married to this old eunuch who is over fifty years old.

Li Fuguo was overjoyed to have Miss Chunying as his wife, so he spent 20 yuan of his personal wealth to build a magnificent new mansion outside the gate of Xingqing Palace.A few days before the wedding, Li Fuguo wrote a playbook, took it into the palace in person, and begged Emperor Suzong and Empress Zhang to drive to the new mansion to have a glass of wedding wine.Suzong saw that he was a veteran of the dynasty, but Empress Zhang was originally in the same spirit as Li Fuguo, so there is no reason why he should not.

It was an old eunuch who married his wife, and it became a joke on the ground in the capital for a while.Teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, Zhao Dali, Zhang Sanwang, Four Money, Five Suns and Six, almost everyone talked about this big news as soon as they met.The point that everyone is most concerned about is that Li Fuguo is a eunuch, that thing doesn't work, how to get rid of this flowery beauty in the wedding night?

On the day when Miss Chunying came out of the cabinet, all the people in the capital rushed to watch the excitement outside the Xingqing Palace, and all the civil and military officials also put up their battles one by one, and came to Li's residence to congratulate, from the hour of the morning card to the noon card. , flags, gongs and umbrella fans were so densely packed that they almost squeezed a street in front of the Li Mansion.When it was bustling, there was only the sound of shouting om om, followed by a few whips and whirring noises. It turned out that the emperor and queen's chariots came out. , No one dared to look up.The street was very quiet, only the sound of boots and horseshoes could be heard, and they walked step by step. After a long time, the people dared to stand up when Luanyu was far away.And the cigarettes in the imperial furnace are still puffing into their noses one after another, which is intoxicating; when they stretch their necks to look, the yellow flag in front of them is stretched out, and the colorful cover is brilliant, which is still faintly visible.

On this day, Emperor Suzong was very energetic. Since he took the throne, he spent more time in bed, less time traveling, and even less when he was very energetic.After the banquet, Suzong and Queen Zhang held hands and walked in the garden.See a puddle of green water, surrounded by white stone railings, the pool surface is very large.On the left side is a lake rock rockery, which is very exquisitely stacked, along the rocks are planted Qishuyao grass; on the right side is a grassland, which is lovely green. When Suzong turned his head, he saw his eldest son, King Guangping, standing on the grassland , such a handsome and handsome young man under the sun, Suzong didn't feel a burst of father's tenderness and pride in his heart.
