A Thousand Hills

Chapter 387

Xie Bo, who had returned to the imperial court to become an official, heard about this, and he was quite dumbfounded.Xie Moru's methods are always so fast and ruthless.He directly reprimanded the cabinet, taught the cabinet a lesson, and suppressed the Cao family.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Xie Moru has always been able to accomplish multiple things in doing things.

Xie Bo returned to the court at the age of 69, and met the Empress Dowager Xie in the Palace of Mercy. Xie Moru looked at his gray-haired second uncle, and still remembered the romantic and handsome Tanhua Lang back then. At that time, Xie Bo and Su Buyu joked, because Xie Bai's name is Han Qiao, Su Buyu even called him "Xie Xiaoqiao" jokingly, Xie Bai just called Su Buyu "Su Meiren", now I think it's funny.

Xie Bai was handsome when he was young, but now he is old, his appearance is still good among old men, Xie Moru said, "Second Uncle can last a few more years."

Xie Bai said, "Forget it, I have been a high-ranking cabinet official and a party member all my life. I am old now. It's better to go home earlier to care for my grandchildren. I thought, if the empress still needs support here, I will It's okay to last for a few more years. The empress has always been fine, so I'm relieved."

Xie Moru said, "The country has always needed capable officials."

Xie Bo looked at Xie Moru, and couldn't help lowering his eyes again: So Mo Ru thinks so?Jiangshan, this is her Jiangshan.

Xie Moru left Xie Bo to have lunch at the Charity Palace before letting Xie Bo go home.

Xie Bai, the governor of Zhili, retired. After the cabinet discussed, he was transferred from the governor of Huguang to the governor of Zhili. The post of governor of Huguang was assumed by the governor of Zhili.

Tang Xiao, who was once accompanied by the late emperor's fourth elder brother Han Wang, is the grandnephew of Xiao Tang, the current head of the Department of Internal Affairs. Of course, this is mainly because Xiao Tang is a senior governor, and his age is not considered old among the senior officials. He has just 49 , Among the senior officials in the court, this is indeed a very young age.

The promotion of the Tang family made people have to doubt that the Empress Dowager Cao's expansion of the palace was first notified to the Department of Internal Affairs. Yo.Everyone in the elite circle knows that Director Xiao Tang has always been like the empress dowager's own son.

This is so wronged to Chief Tang. When Chief Tang saw the expansion plan of Shoukang Palace, he went to report to Empress Dowager Cao that your palace was not built like this.Little Chief Tang learned from Li Jiujiang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Jiang Beiling, a great Confucian who had already traveled to Hexian, was the teacher of Little Chief Tang.Manager Xiao Tang is also kind, and he doesn't want to be robbed by Concubine Cao's sly and sly, to the effect that you, the manager of the Department of Internal Affairs, are in charge of the work, so what are you doing with so many things!

You said that Mr. Tang is angry, and the Empress Dowager Cao doesn't know good people, so he doesn't mind it too much.

Don't think that the minister has lost his temper. The Empress Dowager Cao insisted on becoming the Empress Dowager. Then, the cabinet immediately turned the Empress Dowager Cao's father from the position of governor to a minister with a false rank.Don't look at the respectful appearance of the ministers in front of the king, unless the real means of being a king are qualified, it is really not easy to subdue them.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xie is a different matter. This empress came over from the time when Emperor Taizong seized the throne. Emperor Renzong was able to pull down the mourning prince and become emperor himself. A large part of the reason was because he married the right wife. wife.When these people in the cabinet were still struggling for seniority in the lowest official positions, this empress and her husband, who was still a concubine prince, and the later Emperor Renzong, were already sharpening their knives and aggressively attacking the position of the East Palace. From the Renzong Dynasty to the Kangzong Dynasty, and from now on, she has seen the world, the major events she has experienced, and the people in the cabinet may be older than her, but in terms of experience and means, it only depends on the cabinet being trained like a grandson Even if she didn't dare to speak out, she knew what kind of means this empress was.

You thought she was just swearing at people badly, no, she was so good that you would be convinced even if you were scolded as a grandson.

Therefore, even though the cabinet was reprimanded by the empress dowager, there were only more respectful ones.Whether there is dissatisfaction, or there is, but you are not her opponent, you have to bow your head and be respectful.

Even the young emperor Mu Xuan, after seeing his grandmother's outbreak in the cabinet, felt in his heart for some reason. Although he was ashamed, he also felt that his grandmother's appearance when she was in the cabinet was too elegant and imposing.

Of course, when the Empress Dowager's attack happened to Mu Xuan's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cao, Mu Xuan would not think so.

Because the Empress Dowager Cao violated the rules of etiquette, the Palace of Mercy accused Cao Bin, the father of the Empress Dowager Cao, without saying anything, and also lowered the Cao family from the second-class Cheng'en Gong's mansion to the third-class Cheng'en Hou's mansion. Empress Dowager Cao couldn't bear it, so she fell ill.

It is said to be sick, who knows?

The Mercy Palace is in a bad mood, so naturally it won't visit Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao said that her heart ached and she was recuperating in her own palace, so she did not go to the Ci'en Palace to pay her respects.

If Empress Dowager Cao doesn't come, Empress Dowager Xie also ignores her. Even Empress Dowager Su and others in the palace are not good to go to Empress Dowager Cao's palace.Empress Dowager Su had been told by her family that she would follow Empress Dowager Xie, and so did Concubine Qi Xian, not to mention Wei Taizhaorong, as long as Empress Dowager Xie came to treat her, she came from a big family, let alone at this time Go to show your favor to Cao Shi.

What's more, the Cao family didn't care about this matter.You are a queen mother, build a Shoukang Palace to live in, let's not say anything, there is no way, have you given birth to an emperor?But you built the Shoukang Palace more grandly than the Charity Palace, do you still have the Empress Dowager in your eyes?
Everyone thinks so.

The only one who doesn't think so is probably Mrs. Cao, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and said to his son, "I'm just telling the Secretary of Internal Affairs that these villains are just hurting me like this. They're hurting me." , it is of great benefit to be with them!"

Mu Xuan sighed, "Mother is good at convalescing her illness. If she is so angry, she will not be able to take care of her illness."

"If you don't find out about this matter, I will live in the name of violating etiquette in the future. What face do I have to live? It's the emperor. Your biological mother was poked at the nose and said that she was rude and overstepped the rules. What face do you have, Emperor! And your grandfather, he is wronged!" He began to cry again.

Mu Xuan asked Tang Jin, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, to ask. Tang Jinming said clearly, how did he look at something wrong at the time, how did he go to tell the Empress Dowager Cao, and how did the Empress Dowager Cao answer him? Fortunately, when I was young, I was taught by my teacher, Mr. Beiling, that the matter of expanding the Xihe Palace to the Yuqiong Palace was personally ordered by Cao Niangniang. The minister kindly persuaded me, Cao Niangniang had to listen, and said that the minister should just do it I'm on duty, what can I do?"

Director Xiao Tang also said, "The late emperor has been in charge of the internal affairs department for many years. I have done a lot of repairs in the palace. I have never seen Cao Niangniang again. Excuse me." The minister said bluntly, she wanted to listen to the minister's persuasion at the beginning, so why did she end up like this. It's really not good for her to be like this, and it will hurt His Majesty's reputation." He also carried the late emperor out.

Mu Xuan said, "If there is such a thing again, you should tell me first."

Manager Xiao Tang quickly responded, and said, "After that time, I also wanted to talk to Your Majesty about something in the future. Your Majesty is a sensible person." He also praised the little emperor. Of course, what Manager Xiao Tang meant was that the Empress Dowager Cao didn't quite understand. .

Manager Xiao Tang did nothing wrong, so Mu Xuan had no choice but to let him go down.

Empress Dowager Cao was still relentless, and said directly, "What a cunning cunning man, where did I say that, what I said clearly is that according to the system, no one is allowed to exceed the Yongshou Palace. Sui Zhou can testify for me. "

Mu Xuan is patronizing his mother's lawsuits.

Manager Xiao Tang was very angry, he was not a soft persimmon, although his official position was not very high, but he followed Emperor Renzong when he was young, even the first emperor was very close to him.What's more, Director Xiao Tang was born in a family. His father had served as the chief minister of the cabinet. The Empress Dowager treated him like her own nephew, but today a person surnamed Cao wanted to slander him, and Manager Xiao Tang immediately swore, "If I tell half a lie, my whole family will die!"

Mu Xuan was dumbfounded.

Empress Dowager Cao did not dare to swear such a poisonous oath, so she had no choice but to continue with her heartache.

Empress Dowager Cao ruled the world in the palace, but her natal family wanted to come to the palace to plead guilty in fear. The third-class Marquis of Chengen, Cao Bin, came to the palace for pleading guilty, and Mrs. Cao came to the Palace of Mercy in person.

The Empress Dowager Xie said, "It's quite useless to teach girls. If someone else has this problem, I will say a few words and change it, and it will be fine. It's not as good as your daughters, but you still complain about me. Since the surrender I am the noble of your Cao family, she neither came to pay my respects, nor came to serve my mother-in-law, I understand, she gave birth to the emperor, she deserved it!"

In one sentence, Mrs. Cao was covered in cold sweat, and the Empress Dowager Xie said, "Is it true that the mother of the former Emperor Taizong has something to do? Let me tell you, the empress and concubine of the Hu family is also willing to accept advice. Your daughter is better than Taizong's mother." More respectable."

Then, the Cao family taught their daughters no way, and Cao Bin was demoted to the third class Cheng Enbo.

Mrs. Cao immediately collapsed Chengen Palace.

She was thinking that she would come to the palace to persuade her daughter, Xie Tai Empress Dowager is so sensual, how could she be allowed to go to see Cao Empress Dowager.He ordered Mrs. Cao to be sent out of the palace, and she was not allowed to enter the palace without a purpose.

Of course, the decree of conferring the nobility must be drafted by the cabinet, and the cabinet must ask why. Empress Dowager Xie directly gave the cabinet the Taifang prescribed by the Imperial Hospital for Empress Cao.Then came a sentence, "When the first emperor was here, he still wanted to come to my place to wake up in the morning and night. Now that the first emperor is gone, he will use this kind of peace to fool me. Come to think of it, I, the empress dowager, am not worthy of her to pay her respects, or say, She is older than the late emperor! I know, it must not be because of the emperor's biological mother, it must be because the Cao family did not teach their daughter well! A daughter's education is a father's fault, let Cheng Enbo reflect on himself!"

However, in the past few days, Cao's family was demoted one after another, and Cao's mansion, which was originally busy with traffic, was left in the cold for a while.

Before Cao Bin could sit still in the imperial capital, he was demoted from Marquis to Earl.

Cao Bin was angry, and blamed his old wife at home, "Why don't you try to persuade your mother, how can you easily offend the empress dowager!"

Mrs. Cao was frightened by the Empress Dowager, she got a little sick, and now she was drinking soup, Mrs. Cao was full of bitterness, sobbing, "Didn't I never persuade you, the empress is not well at home, I think it's the empress dowager. The Queen Mother misunderstood."

"She is really bad. After the empress dowager just admonished her, why didn't she go to plead guilty, but pretended to be sick in the palace! This is not what resentment is!" Cao Bin was so angry that he almost fainted. Pleading guilty, the Empress Dowager looks at the emperor's face, so she won't not give the emperor's birth mother face.But his stupid girl, relying on her son to become the emperor, is so rude.Who is the empress dowager? When Cao Bin was the governor of Jinzhong, the empress dowager had killed the mourning prince with Emperor Renzong at that time, successfully seized the throne, and held the throne in her hands.With such a noble and powerful empress dowager, you don't feel pious enough to hold her and coax her. Now you go down and stroke her beard, it's simply too much life!

Madam Cao's eyes were full of tears, and she cried, "I entered the palace that day to persuade the empress, but who knew, the Mercy Palace would explode."

"Give the ready-made handle to others, and if you don't get angry, who will you!" Cao Bin understands that the Mercy Palace will not directly slap the Empress Dowager Cao on the face, but it has repeatedly demoted the Cao family to accuse the Cao family of teaching their daughter. What difference does it make if it is drawn on the face of Empress Dowager Cao!

Cao Bin paced around the room several times, and said, "Tomorrow, prepare a big gift, and I will go and see the old man."

"Which old man?"

"Grandpa Xie! The Empress Dowager is the old man's father."

After being demoted twice to the Cao family, Mu Xuan was willing to speak up for his biological mother, and went to the Palace of Mercy in person to say, "The empress is really not feeling well."

The Empress Dowager Xie directly announced that the envoy of Zhou Court came to talk to Mu Xuan about medical principles. Mu Xuan was not a stupid person, and he understood after listening.Mu Xuan blushed suddenly, extremely embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Xie said, "At the beginning, when she reprimanded Xia Qingcheng, I just thought that the late emperor had just left and was still in the filial piety, and there were people coming and going in the palace. You just came to the throne, so it's not easy to reprimand your biological mother! Thank you How much the late emperor loved her before he was alive, but in the end, she couldn’t even excuse her crying for the late emperor! She still has the late emperor in her heart!”

"It's really tolerable and unbearable! I always think about the emperor's reputation, but she is more and more ignorant of etiquette because of the emperor! Also, how many people have to send the late emperor's coffin to the imperial capital? Go, and she will hurt her foot. If she still has a little affection for the late emperor, let alone hurt her foot, even if she breaks her leg, she will go in a sedan chair!" Empress Dowager Xie said, "The emperor , you promoted her to be the Queen Mother, you have to take good care of her."

Mu Xuan was speechless and ashamed when he told the emperor's grandmother.

Empress Dowager Cao didn't dare to feel sorry for her anymore this time, and came to plead guilty in person, but Empress Dowager Xie didn't care to see her, so she just let her go back to recuperate.The Empress Dowager Cao knelt outside the Palace of Mercy and begged, and the Empress Dowager Xie talked to the Empress Dowager Su, the concubine, the concubines, the concubine, and the concubines, "The son-in-law of Qin was not cautious during the filial piety period of Emperor Taizong, and was punished by the emperor. Censor impeachment, Princess Shou Yichang was furious, and Qin Concubine pleaded guilty in Zhaode Palace, and knelt down to Zhaode. Emperor Renzong told me about this, and I said that Emperor Renzong was too benevolent, Where is Zhaode Palace, where the ministers of the court handle the state affairs, how can he be allowed to behave like a pleading guilty person. This is what I dislike the most in my life. Is it okay to kneel? The emperor sells miserably, but let me say, if there is one or two respectful hearts, how can he be disrespectful during the filial piety of Emperor Taizong. Today, this is exactly the same. I married Emperor Renzong, and on this , It’s a bit of fate. It’s good or bad, but it’s always tricky.” Directly order the Empress Dowager Cao to go back, and if the Empress Dowager Cao refuses to go back, call Cao Bin to persuade her to go back.

The Empress Dowager Cao finally tasted the methods of the Empress Dowager Xie. She wanted to kneel down for a long time, thinking that the Empress Dowager Xie would always give her some face for the face of her emperor's biological mother. No, the Empress Dowager Xie would never , directly said that she was a bitter scheme, and said that she couldn't afford it, so she called her father Cao Bin.

If the natal family is involved again, Empress Dowager Cao will really lose face.

Empress Dowager Cao had no choice but to wake up every morning and evening and go to the Palace of Mercy to plead guilty, but Empress Dowager Xie still refused to see her.Moreover, she ran to the Mercy Palace every morning and night, and the Empress Dowager Xie even said, "I still had a heartache at first, but now I don't take any medicine, and my body is fine. It can be seen that this heartache is painful. It's the title of her natal family."

Empress Dowager Cao found that her trick of crying, making trouble and hanging herself three times was simply not enough for Empress Dowager Xie!A few words from Empress Dowager Xie can turn her into a laughing stock in the palace.

But now what else?
The Empress Dowager Cao never dared to get sick again, even if she was really sick or not.She knew that once she claimed to be sick again, regardless of whether it was true or false, the Cao family would be demoted again.Empress Dowager Cao was full of pain, like drinking coptis, she gave birth to her son and knew about her pretending to be sick, especially about the late emperor crying, Mu Xuan was very upset.

The Empress Dowager Cao was about to separate from her son, so how could she have other thoughts, even if the Empress Dowager refused to see her, she would go every day.At the very least, it would be good for the Empress Dowager to know her sincerity in pleading guilty.

Moreover, her natal family has tried to send a message to her, telling her not to apologize sincerely, and not to be disrespectful anymore.

Empress Dowager Cao went to plead guilty every morning and evening, and she was not too stupid after all, and she knew how to ask Empress Dowager Su to ease her cheeks in front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Cao wiped her tears and said, "At first, it was all my fault, right?" I don’t know why, it’s as if lard has deceived my heart, and I have done so many wrong things by accident. My sister has always understood better than me. Our sisters all these years, just look at my young age. I also Not for anyone else, the empress dowager is old, if she gets sick because of my stupid anger, it will add another layer of guilt to me."

Empress Dowager Su sighed, "It's winter now, and it's cold every morning and night. You are so weak, I'm afraid you can't bear it. If the queen mother is in a good mood, it's okay for me to mention five things for my sister. It's just the mother's temper. Here, I am not [-]% sure."

The Empress Dowager Cao was already very grateful, and said, "It's always my fault. The Empress Dowager must calm down. My sister is willing to plead for me. I am grateful. The rest depends on my life." .”

Empress Dowager Cao went there gratefully. Empress Dowager Su wanted to get up to see her off. Empress Dowager Cao politely said, "My sister is more noble than me. If my sister is like this, I will be discouraged. I dare not come again."

Empress Dowager Su had no choice but to order the maid in charge of the palace to send Empress Dowager Cao to herself. After Empress Dowager Cao left, there was a glint of joy in Empress Dowager Su's lowered eyes. , but today the emperor has never been in charge, and the state affairs are in the hands of the empress dowager, so she dares to be strong by the empress dowager.Empress Dowager Su came from a scholarly family, and her great-grandfather was the chief assistant of Taizong, and because Taizong bestowed the marriage between the late emperor and Empress Dowager Su before his death.At that time, Empress Dowager Su was still young, because of the gift of marriage, the Su family knew that the girl would be Xie Moru's daughter-in-law in the future, so, in teaching Empress Dowager Su, they told her some things about her mother-in-law Xie Moru .The first thing the Su family told her was to be respectful to Xie Moru.

Today, it is still the case.

Empress Dowager Su became a concubine, empress, and empress dowager from a princely concubine. She had no sons, and she always felt in the palace that although she was the first mother, she was afraid that she would take a step back from Empress Dowager Cao in the future.

I don't want to, the Cao family just got promoted to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager Xie made her lose all face.

The Empress Dowager Su knew the true meaning of the family's warning.

The empress dowager's prominence lies not only in her status as the empress dowager, but the strength of this empress lies in her means and wisdom above her status.

Empress Dowager Cao begged Empress Dowager Su personally, and Empress Dowager Su could only mention one or two when Empress Dowager Tai was in a good mood.Empress Dowager Xie glanced at Empress Dowager Su, and said, "She begged you." It was a declarative sentence, not a question, so it can be seen that Empress Dowager Xie knew about it.

Empress Dowager Xie knew or didn't know, Empress Dowager Su didn't dare to hide it, and said, "Yes. Yesterday, Empress Dowager Cao went over and cried to me for a long time, saying that she had known the crime, but she was afraid that her mother's anger would be hard to dissipate and she would hurt her body. "

The Empress Dowager Xie said, "In the past, when the late emperor was here, he felt that his face was decent. Once the late emperor left, as the emperor's biological mother, he began to domineering. You, you are really a good temper."

Empress Dowager Su said, "My daughter-in-law's temperament is hard to change."

It is not a question of whether there is a son or not. The Empress Dowager Xie also has no sons, but Emperor Kangzong treats her with the utmost filial piety. Today Mu Xuan is the grandson of the Empress Dowager Xie, and he is equally respectful.In other words, it's all about means.

Empress Dowager Su also wanted to be like Empress Dowager Xie, who would not want to be like Empress Dowager Xie?The point is, there are too many people thinking, but how many can do it?

There is only one Empress Dowager Xie.

Empress Dowager Xie and Empress Dowager Su said, "I'm here today, you're just like this. If one day I'm not here, what will you do?"

Empress Dowager Su was also heartbroken, but she didn't want to show her sadness in front of her mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "Mother Empress Qianshou, my daughter-in-law is so good to enjoy the shade under a big tree."

Empress Dowager Xie just smiled.

Xie Zhi's wife, Mrs. Wu, came to the palace to pay her respects, and also privately told about Cao Bin's gift to her family. The Empress Dowager Xie left the Empress Dowager Cao for a few days, and then one morning, the Empress Dowager Su brought the concubines and concubines to pay her respects. At that time, I met the Empress Dowager Cao. At that time, the Empress Dowager Wei of the Kangzong Dynasty and others, several concubines and concubines of the Renzong Dynasty, and the concubines of the Emperor Taizong were all there.Empress Dowager Xie said to Empress Dowager Cao, "These days, I think you've figured it out. Even if you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand because of your natal title. You don't need to tell me your sweet words, you It doesn't matter whether you really understand it or pretend to understand it. I am in a day, and I have the final say on the rules of the harem. It is your blessing that you really understand. If you pretend, you have to pretend until I close my eyes The emperor's birth mother is indeed honorable. Taizong's birth mother Hu, Renzong's birth mother Empress Xiaojing, Kangzong's birth mother Ling, and you, I have seen them all. Think about it, learn from whom."

Empress Dowager Cao wept and pleaded guilty, "My daughter-in-law really understands her sins, and she will save herself from now on and honor the Empress Dowager."

"Get up."

Empress Dowager Cao finally entered the Palace of Mercy, and Mu Xuan also heaved a sigh of relief, but her natal family was still not allowed to enter the palace.Although Empress Dowager Cao missed her mother, she dared not mention it again.

Empress Dowager Cao has another trick. When other people's mothers come to the palace to say hello, Empress Dowager Cao is like a pissed off daughter-in-law. Take it to Empress Dowager Xie.Empress Dowager Xie had never seen Empress Dowager Cao like this before, she was immediately displeased when she saw it, and asked her, "But who convinced you?"

Empress Dowager Cao shook her head quickly, "Not really."

"Then don't show such a timid look. Concubines are like this, others can't help but smile. After all, you are not the emperor's biological mother, and you are also the emperor's palace now. How can you be so petty!" With her temperament, Empress Dowager Cao was afraid that Empress Dowager Xie would accuse her father of being a poor godmother, so she hurriedly changed her face.

Empress Dowager Xie let her go down.

Throughout the year before, and until the new year, Empress Dowager Xie did not let Mrs. Cao enter the palace.

Mu Xuan wanted to plead for his mother, but ever since Empress Dowager Xie told him all the things his mother had done, he couldn't open his mouth in front of Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Cao is quite capable of hard work. She has a good skill in making soup. She used to cook soup for the late emperor. Now that the late emperor has passed away, she often cooks soup for her son. The Empress Dowager cooks soup.Empress Dowager Xie said that she didn't need to cook it, so she said with a smile, "This is the wish of my daughter-in-law. If the mother-in-law is happy one day, if she tastes it, it will be the filial piety of her daughter-in-law." It's hard to say if you learn to understand, but you can learn to know current affairs.

She didn't put on a sour face anymore, she was happy when she went to the Charity Palace every day, Empress Dowager Xie was not a mean person, she could get by, and she would not deliberately pick on Empress Dowager Cao.

When it was time for her filial piety, the Empress Dowager Cao went to ask the Empress Dowager Xie again in private, saying that she had been wronged in the past, and begging the Empress Dowager to let her go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to pay her respects, which is considered her atonement .

She not only said this to the Empress Dowager Xie, but also to her son Mu Xuan. The Empress Dowager Cao was naturally no more honest in front of her son than she was in front of the Empress Dowager Xie. What, my mind was turbulent and confused, and I did many wrong things. I don’t blame the Empress Dowager for annoying me. Now that I think about it, the first emperor treated us mother and child. Emperor, what kind of love. Your father passed away, and I felt as if my heart and liver were taken away by someone, but it was a strange coincidence that made me do these stupid things. Today, I recite Buddha every day, and my mind understands. It's all my fault, and I've tired the emperor. You and your father are my life. Your father is gone, and I only have half of my life left. Waiting for your father's anniversary festival, so that I can go there and be with you. It's good for him to talk." As he spoke, his face was covered with tears.

Empress Dowager Xie really wasn't mean, she agreed with Empress Dowager Cao like this.

After the first emperor's anniversary sacrifice, the royal family started filial piety.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Cao followed the large army to sacrifice in front of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and Empress Dowager Xie allowed her mother to enter the palace.When the mother and daughter met each other, it was inevitable that tears would flow down their faces. The mother was worried about her daughter when she was outside, and how could she not worry about her own mother when she was a daughter.

Empress Dowager Cao said with tears in her eyes, "It's all about my daughter's fault, and it hurts the family."

Mrs. Cao cried, "How can my son say such heretical things? What does it matter about the title? The family is fine. Outside, your father and I are worried about your mother."

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while.

When Mrs. Cao asked about the affairs of the palace, Empress Dowager Cao could only say yes. Mrs. Cao repeatedly persuaded her daughter that she must respect Empress Dowager Xie as her ancestor in the future.Empress Dowager Cao has really improved, she said, "It's all my fault in the past. It seems that something has fascinated the mind and done so many wrong things."

When Mrs. Cao heard her daughter's words, she was also very clever, and she immediately gave her an idea, asking her to invite eminent monks and nuns to do it, and see if there is anything wrong with Zhaoyang Palace.

The Empress Dowager Cao hesitated, only worrying that the Empress Dowager would not follow her.

Mrs. Cao persuaded, "Why don't you ask Your Majesty first? It seems that Zhaoyang Palace's Fengshui is not good, so it's better to be a decent lady first."

Mu Xuan went to discuss with the Empress Dowager, Xie Empress Dowager smiled, "That's also good."
