Chapter 8
Seeing Ding Wei and Xu Ping enter the inn one after another, Ren Shouzhong felt completely disappointed.
Why did the Empress Dowager die? What about Wu Zetian, the agreed Song Dynasty? From the two of them to the sun and the moon, weren’t they all walked along Wu Zetian’s path step by step? Wu Zetian ascended the throne at the age of 67 and became the emperor for fifteen years. The Empress Dowager was only 66 years old, so why didn’t he live to the age of 86! His brothers are still waiting to succeed in following the Empress Dowager and become successful!
The group of eunuchs around Empress Dowager Liu were not stupid, but were broken. They thought that one day Empress Dowager Liu would ascend to the throne along the trajectory of Wu Zetian of the former Tang Dynasty and ascend to heaven with one step. So they didn't care about the attitude of the ministers of the outside court, and even the little emperor was not taken seriously. The concubine Chen who gave birth to the emperor had long forgotten where she had gone. Except for Empress Dowager Liu, they did not recognize anyone.
However, suddenly, the Empress Dowager left, leaving behind a group of eunuchs who offended all the imperial medicines inside and outside the court.
Ren Shouzhong himself knew that as soon as the Empress Dowager left, she killed the emperor's biological mother and came out halfway. Now there are countless people in the capital gritting their teeth at them.
The rising sun was white and pale, and I felt so frightened when I looked at it.
I thought I could clean up Xu Ping in Daozhou, but inadvertently, I became a loser. Ren Shouzhong had heard of the relationship between Xu Ping and Li Yonghe, especially the death of Concubine Chen last year, which caused a lot of controversy. Lu Yijian blocked the palace gate and refused to go to the main gate and buried with courtesy. Such a big thing, anyone with a certain status in the palace was vaguely heard of, that is, the little emperor has always been an honest child, and Empress Dowager Liu was in charge of it, otherwise he would have been suspicious.
With the Empress Dowager here, even Li Yong and them didn't take it seriously. What's more, Xu Ping. But as soon as the Empress Dowager left, Ren Shouzhong suddenly realized that Xu Ping's words might have killed him.
As an eunuch, he didn't even have the chance to let the censor speak for him, and he might be beaten to death with a single blow. Ren Shouzhong only felt dizzy and his future was bleak.
Xu Ping hadn't figured out what he had to do with the emperor. Li Yonghe was naturally so familiar with him that he could not get along with him, but he had not listened to Ding Wei carefully and had not reacted. Now **********, Xu Ping was just thinking about how to deal with the husband Ding in front of him and not let him take him into the ditch.
A person who made all the ministers in the world look disgusted. Xu Ping was not so stupid that he thought he could be fooled with him. If he was not careful, he would even be eaten by the old man. He could only deal with it carefully and let him speak sweet words. He kept his true heart tightly.
After entering the inn, the postmaster led the two to the living room. He had read the mansion report a long time ago, but because of his humble status, he let Ren Shouzhong show his power yesterday. When Ding Wei came, he knew that Ren Shouzhong was not worth worrying about.
Xu Ping and Ding Wei sat down, and the postman came over to serve tea, and the two chatted casually.
Ding Wei asked Xu Ping casually about the situation along the way. Xu Ping answered carefully and did not dare to slack off at all. Officials came and went to see him off on the way. It was normal.
Ding Wei listened and drank the tea ceremony: "The Queen Mother died at the end of March, and there was a decree of funerals. Zhang Yunzhang went to Qinzhou to inspect again. No wonder you haven't received any news on Guangxi Road."
Xu Ping also understood that the imperial edict was not directly sent to the troops of each state, but went to the transshipment commander first and then notified the local area as appropriate. He knew it earlier on Jinghu South Road, but he didn't know why Ma Zhongfang, the governor of Quanzhou, did not mention it. Perhaps he was a military official. He was too unlucky.
After chatting for a while, Ding Wei seemed to say casually: "Yunxing, now the emperor is in charge of power, what are your plans? The court is just the time to use people, and you have a lot to do!"
Xu Ping said: "I had evil before the Privy Council, and the court asked me to wait for the decree in Daozhou. Of course, I was waiting for the decree here. We were ministers, but we just did things according to the decree."
"Prince Academy? It's time and time!" Ding Wei shook his head slightly, "When Lingnan goes to the court, it takes 6,000 miles, and goes back and forth for several months, I don't know that you even captured the King of Jiaozhi together. Now that you have made such great contributions, how can you not achieve important results!"
"How dare you guess the will of the saints by yourself? Their left and right are just waiting for the order."
Ding Wei could see through the affairs of the court more thoroughly than himself. Xu Ping dared not to do anything in front of him. Anyway, he was just pretending to be stupid. No matter how much he asked, he would just wait for the imperial edict in Daozhou.
Ding Wei's expression remained unchanged. Seeing that Xu Ping was nervous, he turned the topic to Li Yonghe.
"Li Yong and Taiwei were poor when they were young, and they were born with the bodhisattva heart to save his life. I don't know what happened?"
Xu Ping said: "It's just a trivial matter. At that time, my father was carrying a load to sell wine in the capital. He saw Uncle Li, who was sick on the roadside early one morning, and took him home for medical treatment. By the way, my husband just said, how about Concubine Li Chen?"
Seeing that Xu Ping had just reacted now, Ding Wei smiled and said, "Concubine Li Chen is the emperor's biological mother. She has given birth to the holy man and has great kindness to the world. Now she has been named Empress Dowager by the emperor."
After hearing this, Xu Ping stood there stupidly. Why do there are such bloody things in the royal family? The powerful queen took the children of ordinary palace maids and regarded them as her own to consolidate her status. There seemed to be many such stories in the film and television dramas in his previous life, and it turns out that such things really happened in history.
After thinking through this, Xu Ping understood why Ding Wei always mentioned Li Yonghe. This was the only relative of the old Concubine Li Chen in the world, and the emperor's uncle, there were so many twists and turns in the middle. Once he recognized his relatives, he would definitely make a fortune. He had a close relationship with Li Yonghe, so no wonder Ding Wei Baba came to find him.
With such a backer and contributions to Yongzhou, my future prospects are very bright.
Xu Ping was also a little excited for a moment, but he quickly suppressed the excitement. Ding Wei came to find him, and must have taken a fancy to this relationship, but he didn't know what his purpose was.
As soon as he figured it out, Xu Ping refused to mention Li Yonghe and asked Ding Wei: "Since my husband is confused, he is now free. I don't know what plans are?"
Ding Wei sighed deeply: "I am already in my twilight years, what else can I think? Yunxing is a new noble in the court. I came to the door with a shameless face, just for one thing. I just hope that in my lifetime, I can set foot on the land of the Central Plains again and see the heavenly face. Back then, the late emperor entrusted me with great responsibilities to assist the current emperor, but I pity my mind for a moment and failed the instructions of the late emperor. Now I feel guilty and uneasy. Life is rare in seventy years. Now I am over 60 years old this year, and there are not many days left. I just hope that in my lifetime, I can meet the late emperor. Otherwise, what will I see the late emperor underground!"
Ding Wei was demoted to Yazhou after he was demoted to the court, and he devoted himself to Buddhism and didn't know how to take care of it. His appearance was the same as in the capital, and his hair and beard were as dark as ink, and no one was white.
I always feel a little funny when I hear such a person saying that I don’t have much future.
