Han Dao world

The abolition of the empress is a major event, and it is definitely not something that the emperor can abolish if he wants to, let alone just find a reason.

Behind Guo Shengtong stood the Jizhou faction and the Longyou faction.

Relatively speaking, Emperor Guangwu's handling was very restrained, and it can even be said to be benevolent.

After Guo Shengtong was abolished, his son was hardly affected. Even Liu Qiang's crown prince was retained for two years, and it was only implemented because of Liu Qiang's repeated voluntary resignation.And the lineage of the king of the East China Sea, starting from Liu Qiang, has been passed down to this day without interruption.

Guo Shengtong has five sons in total, and the four sons other than Liu Qiang are all crowned kings. Jinan King Liu Kang and Fuling King Liu Yan were eliminated because they had no children. Zhongshan King Liu Yan and Pei King Liu Fu have also been passed down to this day.

The favor of Guo's relatives is not bad, even Guo Shengtong's uncle, Guo Liang's son-in-law Chen Mao, can be entrusted with the title of Marquis, which is almost excessive.

Including Guo Shengtong himself, although he was deposed, he died as the Queen Mother Pei, and was able to be buried with Beimang later.

It is really unreasonable to say that Emperor Guangwu or his successor rejected Jizhou people.

It is undeniable that the official career of Jizhou people is not as smooth as compared with Nanyang and Ruying, but that is not intentional by the court, but due to the situation.This is a very complicated issue, and it cannot be resolved with a few imperial edicts.

If the judge really wanted to take Ruying's family members as hostages to negotiate with the imperial court, it could only be said that he was thinking too much.

To say something that cannot be said in the mouth, Liu Xie couldn't get it, and it was exactly what he wanted.

Yang Biao thought of Liu Huihui's rejection of his request, but he didn't expect Liu Huihui to be so decisive that he didn't even give him a chance to explain, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

He wanted to persuade a few more words, but when he saw Liu Xie's expression like a trapped animal, he swallowed it back and bowed to leave.

The queen had a difficult childbirth, and her life and death were uncertain. Now is not the time to talk about it.

Liu Xie ignored Yang Biao.

Firstly, he was really not in the mood, and secondly, he couldn't give Yang Biao any hope.

Both Yang Biao and his wife are sensible people, and they know that the requirement of trial and match is too much.But they can't refuse directly, otherwise they won't be able to explain to the Ruying people, especially when Mrs. Yuan is still a relative of the person concerned.

With Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and more than [-] people killed, only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu remained in Yuan Tang's lineage.Yuan Shu only had one son, and Yuan Shao had many sons, but except for Yuan Tan, they were all controlled by the judge.

Mrs. Yuan can't just ignore her death.

The similar situation also has the Xun family.

Thanks to Xun Yu's cleverness, as early as the beginning of Dong Zhuo's chaos, the Xun family moved to Hebei and attached themselves to Han Fu.Now only Xun Yu's family escaped, and almost all the others were in Yecheng.

If Shen Pei really intends to burn everything together, Xun Yu's line will also suffer heavy losses.

If there is no accident, Xun Wenqian will definitely come to intercede.

After Hua Tuo's operation, Fu Shou temporarily saved his life.

But to Fushou herself, she felt that she was already dead.She was lying on the bed, motionless, not even wanting to open her eyes.

She gave birth to a prince, and she had no breath when she was born.

The cause of dystocia was that the fetus was too large, and Fushou himself did not exercise enough at ordinary times.If it wasn't for Hua Tuo's decisive decision, the final result would most likely be one dead body and two dead.

But Fushou didn't think that she would rather exchange her own life for her son's.

Knowing that she might never be able to conceive again in the future, she was so disheartened that she didn't even open her eyes when Liu Xie came in.No matter what the Qiao sisters who served her reminded her, she did not respond.

Hua Tuo and others knelt aside anxiously.

When Hua Tuo saw that the fetus was a boy, Hua Tuo almost collapsed.He knew how many unnecessary speculations this mistake might have caused. If someone said that he deliberately cut off Fushou's hope for Yuzhou Department's sake, so that Xun Wenqian would have the opportunity to be more valuable than mother and child, he would not be able to explain clearly.

Liu Xie took a look and sighed. "You guys have worked hard, flatten your body, go down and rest."

"Your Majesty, I..." Hua Tuo kowtowed, dripping with cold sweat. "The minister made a mistake in his judgment and deserves death."

"What mistake did you make?" Liu Xie waved his hand. "Okay, even if it's a mistake in judgment, I'm still mainly responsible. Don't think about it too much, go back and organize this medical case carefully, and summarize the gains and losses."

"Wei!" Hua Tuo bowed again. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Physician Hua stays for a while, and the others leave."

The imperial physicians received the edict and retreated, only Hua Tuo stood aside.

Liu Xie sat down by the bed, wiped Fushou's forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Ah Shou, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. You are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, so don't be so Frustrated."

Fu Shou's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, tears slid down his face. "Your Majesty, ministers and concubines can no longer bear children for His Majesty, life is better than death."

"Don't cry, the more difficult the time, the more you have to be strong." Liu Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Not to mention that you are only 19 years old, as long as you take good care of yourself, you still have a chance to recover. Taking a step back, even if you really can't conceive, there is no solution."

"How to solve it?" Fu Shou sobbed. "The concubine only wants a child of her own."

"I can't guarantee that you will have a child of your own, but I can guarantee that you will have a child with Fu's blood, how about it?"

Startled, Fu Shou turned his head to look at Liu Xie, with a gleam of hope in his eyes. "His Majesty?"

"I will make a five-year agreement with you. Within five years, if you can conceive, you will naturally have nothing to say. Within five years, if you have been unable to conceive, I will choose a woman from your Fu family to enter the palace. .”

Fu Shou wept with joy.

This is undoubtedly the best result.As long as it's a prince with Fu's blood, it doesn't matter if it's her own.

And she knows that Liu Xie deliberately controls the size of the harem, so it goes without saying how precious this quota is.The emperor gave her this promise, which is equivalent to blocking the possibility of other people coveting the queen's position.

"I told you not to cry, why are you disobedient?" Liu Xie couldn't laugh or cry. "Are you trying to resist the edict?"

"The concubine dare not, the concubine dare not." Fu Shou said repeatedly, stretched out his hand to take Liu Xie's hand, and stuck it to his face. "The concubine is grateful to His Majesty, and there is nothing in return."

"Taking good care of your body is the greatest reward." Liu Xie touched Fushou's face, blaming himself a little. "You have just given birth, and I should have been with you, but there have been changes in Jizhou, and I will be conscripting myself, so I can only keep you in Chang'an. You have to take good care of yourself. I hope that when I triumph, I can see you alive and kicking again. Then give me a strong son."

"The concubine does her best." Fu Shou's pale face flushed.

"Physician Hua is the best doctor in the world. You have to trust him, listen to his doctor's advice, and don't lose your temper. If it weren't for him, what happened today would be even more unimaginable."

Although Fu Shou was reluctant, he still nodded.

Hua Tuo on the side was grateful, and let out a breath quietly.

"Doctor Hua."

Hua Tuo hurried forward. "The minister is here."

"From now on, the focus of your research is to help the queen recover her health. The day the queen conceives again is when you will become a marquis."

Hua Tuo was overjoyed and responded loudly: "Your servant, obey the order!"

Chapter 796

Taixue Bookstore.

Xun Wenqian anxiously circled back and forth, looking outside the door from time to time.

In her anticipation, Mrs. Tang walked in.She glanced at Xun Wenqian, feeling a little strange. "I heard that the queen gave birth in the past two days. You are not serving in the palace. What are you doing here?"

"Something happened in Jizhou." Xun Wenqian ignored the noise and told the story of Jizhou.

She had just received a letter from Xun Chen.Xun Chen's family members were all in Yecheng, and they might be taken hostage by the interrogator. In desperation, Xun Chen wrote her a letter directly, hoping that she would come forward and intercede with the emperor.

She couldn't make up her mind, so she didn't dare to go directly to the emperor, but came to the bookstore first to ask Mrs. Tang for advice.

Madam Tang shook her head after hearing this, and let out a long sigh. "This Yuan Shu is really not doing enough good, and doing more bad things. He doesn't even harm people one by one, but catches them all, even his own family."

"Auntie, what should I do?" Xun Wenqian hugged Mrs. Tang's arm and shook lightly, begging, "You give me some advice."

Mrs. Tang snorted: "You didn't ask the emperor directly, so you are not confused. If you are willing to listen to me, don't worry about it and let the emperor handle it."

"Let the emperor handle it?" Xun Wenqian's eyes widened in astonishment.

Madam Tang nodded. "The Son of Heaven is not someone who is easy to kill. If he can save someone, he will definitely save him. But it is absolutely impossible for him to bow his head to the judge in order to save someone."

"But if..."

"You, just caring will cause chaos." Mrs. Tang nodded Xun Wenqian's forehead. "You have to remember that you are now the emperor's woman, not the Xun family's daughter. When the two are not in conflict, of course you can fight for some benefits for the Xun family. But when the two conflict, you must not forget the Lord Second-rate."

"I know this truth, but dozens of Xun family members are in Yecheng, how can I just sit idly by?"

Mrs. Tang sneered: "Your third and fourth uncles are all smart people, how could they not be considered today's situation? They just wanted to be reluctant to part with the immediate benefits and opposed the emperor's saving the land, which is why they ended up in such an embarrassing situation. Said It is light for them to blame themselves, but they still want the emperor to give in and save them? It is simply fanciful."

Xun Wenqian looked embarrassed.

She didn't expect Mrs. Tang's attitude to be so fierce.

But thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Tang was right.As early as Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou, the situation in the world was already clear.Xun Chen, Xun Wei and others should have decisively persuaded Yuan Shao to join the court, or simply broke with Yuan Shao and defected to the court.

Why did they take so long to act?It is nothing more than trying to use the power of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to prevent the emperor from saving the fields and avoid losses.

Opposing the emperor to save the fields, and wanting the emperor to make concessions to the judge for the sake of their family, even he thought it was absurd.

"Then what should I do?"

"Let them find a way to save themselves."

"How to save yourself?"

"Do you still want me to teach you?" Mrs. Tang was dumbfounded. "Who wants to kill your family, is it the emperor? No, it's the judge. In this case, if you find a way to kill the judge, it's over. Your third uncle and the others are not powerless people, they also have soldiers to use , won’t be judged and slaughtered, right? Cooperate with the emperor to use troops, cooperate internally and externally, how long can the judge be able to make trouble?”

Xun Wenqian was stunned. "Auntie, you shouldn't be in the bookstore, you should be a general."

Mrs. Tang waved her hand angrily. "Don't mess with me. If you have time, go back and serve the queen. The emperor's conquest is imminent, and the queen is giving birth. The palace needs someone to take charge of the affairs. If you don't go back, the opportunity will be given to others."

Xun Wenqian woke up like a dream, and hurriedly got up to leave.

-

Back in the palace, the first news Xun Wenqian heard was that the empress had dystocia. She was lucky enough to save her life, but the prince was stillborn.

Immediately afterwards, Xun Wenqian received the second news that the emperor and the queen had made a five-year agreement.If the queen can't recover within five years, the emperor will choose another woman from Fu's family to enter the palace, so as to ensure that Fushou's queen position will not be left behind.

After listening to it, Xun Wenqian felt very uncomfortable.

She can understand the emperor's consideration, but being able to understand does not mean that she can accept it.

The Son of Heaven made it clear that he would not give Ru Yingren a chance, nor would she give her a chance.

No matter how much Ru Yingren supports him, he will not let her become the queen.

For a moment, Xun Wenqian wanted to turn around and leave.Now that the emperor has made a decision, why should I be so diligent?

But after thinking about it carefully, she still came to the queen's bedroom.

Fu Shou was lying on the bed, being fed water by two court ladies.

Xun Wenqian stepped forward, carefully studied Fushou's face, and then stepped back, bowing to salute. "The empress has worked hard and failed to serve in time, the concubine is guilty."

Fu Shou waved his hand to signal the maids to back down, and then patted the side of the bed.

Xun Wenqian bowed again and sat down beside the bed.

"It's not that I didn't know the difficulties. I saw my sister giving birth easily, and I thought it was just that. Today, I walked through life and death myself, and I realized that it was not easy for my sister."

Xun Wenqian felt the same way, and echoed: "It's the same for women who give birth, especially the first child. But the queen is young and has a good foundation. With the care of the imperial medical office, it will be fine to recuperate for a while."

Fu Shou looked down at his stomach with a sad expression.

She had already touched it with her hand, and knew that the wound was huge, and even Hua Tuo was not sure if it could heal.The only thing that reassured her was that Hua Tuo said that the high-quality gut was used to suture the wound. As long as she did not exercise vigorously, there should be no danger of rupture, and there would be no need to suffer again.

"Life and death are up to fate, maybe this is my fate." Fu Shou waved his hand and changed the subject. "I heard from people in the palace that Jizhou people want to complain about Queen Guangwu Guo. What's going on?"

Xun Wenqian blinked. "The emperor will deal with the matter in the court. The queen is weak, so don't worry about it. It's better to rest in peace."

"Many of your family members are also trapped in Yecheng, don't you care?"

Xun Wenqian lowered her head, and said softly: "Blood is connected, and caring is naturally caring, but I believe that the emperor can deal with it fairly."

Fu Shou nodded and said nothing more.

She had a dystocia in the past two days and almost lost her life, so she didn't have the energy to pay attention to those things.Occasionally, she heard people say that the emperor was furious and reprimanded Situ Yang Biao face to face, so she became curious and sent someone to inquire about it, only to find out that it was because of the Jizhou incident.

The emperor made it clear that he would conquer Jizhou himself, and many of Xun Wenqian's clansmen were in Jizhou.

It's good for her.

Ruying has many talents, and the Xun family is the best among them.Xun Yu's parents had eight dragons, and Xun Yu's brothers were also resourceful people.If they all enter the court, they will undoubtedly become a great help to Xun Wenqian, and will also pose a threat to her position as queen.

Xun Wenqian disappeared when she was having a difficult childbirth, and she only appeared now, probably because of this matter.She wanted to ask about the situation, but she met Xun Wenqian's soft nail, so she had to keep silent.

Chapter 797

Xun Wenqian exchanged a few words with Fu Shou, but in the end they still didn't agree with each other. The situation was a bit awkward, so they took a chance and asked to leave.

When I went out, I saw the emperor sitting on the railing under the porch of the side hall where he lived, lost in thought.

Ma Yunlu folded his arms, leaned against the pillar, and stood aside, looking a little depressed, with his mouth flattened.
