Chapter 28 2. The Empress Dowager's Tears

Liu Ao was stubborn, and the Queen Mother had no choice.Since there is no hope of curing the disease, the Queen Mother suddenly thought, Liu Ao was also infatuated with Queen Xu before!It's not that serious.Why is Zhao Feiyan and sisters like a group of vicious viruses this time, making it hard for everyone to guard against? I think, to answer this question, Zhao Feiyan can't say it, Zhao Hede can't say it, and Liu Ao probably doesn't know it either.God knows how he could be like this, maybe he should be like this in nature. If you can't find the answer, put it aside.Let me ask the next question, how did Liu Ao know Zhao Feiyan?Oh, he sneaked out and met at Princess Yang'a's house.It shouldn't be Princess Yang'a's fault.However, those who accompany Liu Ao to go out to have fun without permission will be held accountable.

The queen mother suddenly understood that only by driving away the bad playmates around Liu Ao, could there be hope of saving Liu Ao. So the Queen Mother sent someone to investigate, and a person was found.This person, who was a court servant and a general of Zhonglang at that time, led Liu Ao to go on secret trips many times. This person's name is Zhang Fang. Tell you, this name is very strange, but the energy is not small.In Zhang Fang's family tree, there have been two outstanding figures, one is Zhang Tang and the other is Zhang Anshi.During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Tang was known as the most cruel official in the world; Zhang Anshi was the son of Zhang Tang, and in the era of Liu Bingji, Zhang Anshi was known as the richest man in the Han Dynasty.And Zhang Fang is the fourth grandson of Zhang Anshi and the fifth grandson of Zhang Tang.

Thanks to the virtues of their ancestors, Zhang Anshi's descendants have been living well.Zhang Fang's father married Liu Ao's aunt, Princess Jingwu, and gave birth to Zhang Fang, who was cousins ​​with Liu Ao.Later, Zhang Fang married Empress Xu's younger sister, so he got closer to the royal family and was favored by thousands of people. Zhang Fang was Liu Ao's playmate when he was young. It is said that when the two were good, they would sleep, eat and play together.In and out of the palace, no matter any banquet or reception, where there is Liu Ao, there is Zhang Fang, who are inseparable and accompany each other.

After Wang Feng's death, Liu Ao boldly left the palace to have fun.And the identities he revealed outside were all from Fupinghou's family.And Marquis Fuping is Zhang Fang himself.From this point of view, Zhang Fang is responsible for Liu Ao's playful explosion. The queen mother seemed to have found a punching bag all of a sudden.If you don't tidy up and let go, it's hard to calm your depression.So he secretly sent a court lady to Liu Ao's undercover office to collect information about Zhang Fang. Soon, the undercover court lady sent back all kinds of materials that Zhang Fang had provided.The queen mother sorted out Zhang Fang's materials, and she knew what to do.

One day, Liu Ao came to the East Palace to meet the Queen Mother.When the Queen Mother saw Liu Ao, tears flowed like rain, flooding the scene.Liu Ao looked flustered and asked what happened. The Queen Mother said to Liu Ao, "You have become thinner." Liu Ao nodded beside him. The Queen Mother said again: "You have turned black." Liu Ao nodded again. The queen mother went on to say: "Looking at you who is thin and dark, I can't help crying." Liu Ao kept silent, not knowing how to answer. The Queen Mother said: "Do you know why you became what you are today? It's all because you made bad friends and indulged in too much fun."

Liu Ao still didn't dare to respond. The queen mother said again: "You can't stay with Zhang Fang anymore, you must let him go back to his own country." Fuping Hou Zhangfang's feudal state is today's Jinji Town in the southwest of Wuzhong City, Ningxia.Chang'an is as prosperous as a dream, with beauties in the palace like a cloud, and the nightlife is rich and colorful. If you want to ask Zhang Fang to return to Fengguo, doesn't that mean killing him? Liu Ao pretended to look ugly, and said perfunctorily, "Okay. If you have nothing to do, let's do this first!"

The Queen Mother knew that Liu Ao would give her a hard look.When Liu Ao went out of the palace, she called the five princes of the Wang family and ordered: "Immediately ask the prime minister and the imperial censor to prepare materials to impeach Zhang Fang."The sooner I drive Zhang Fang out of Chang'an, the sooner I will feel at ease. At this time, the prime minister and imperial censor of the Han Dynasty were Xue Xuan and Zhai Fangjin respectively.The two were extremely fast, and immediately jointly wrote a letter, listing Zhang Fang's crimes. There are two particularly important ones, which are as follows: Zhang Fang is arrogant and indulgent, extravagant and absurd, disrupting the country's general principles, this is the first;

Liu Ao watched and couldn't help feeling discouraged. This time he really couldn't bear it anymore. Zhang Fang had to leave Chang'an and his close friend. Liu Ao made a concession, but not an absolute compromise.He did not agree to ask Zhang Fang to return to Fengguo, but transferred him to Beidi County as the captain. No one knew, at this time Liu Ao had already made a small calculation in his heart.After a while, when the limelight passed, the Queen Mother forgot about it, and then quietly let Zhang go back to Chang'an, and then the two could be reunited again. Liu Ao is so naive.Who knows, the queen mother has already thought about it, as long as she is still alive, Zhang Fang will never even think about coming back.The Queen Mother thought so, and she did so.In fact, she did.

The so-called knowing son is like a mother, if the queen mother is determined to play with Liu Ao, Liu Ao is not good enough.Liu Ao has a few strings in his heart, and the Queen Mother knows it well.Now, not only does she want to stare at Liu Ao, she also wants to send someone to stare at Zhang Fang. So, who will monitor Zhang Fang?The queen mother has already thought about it, and Gu Yong is the most suitable.After Zhang was released to Beidi County, Gu Yong was transferred to Beidi County as the prefect.It may seem like a coincidence, but it is not.As soon as Gu Yong took office, Chang'an experienced many disasters, so he took the opportunity to write a memorial to Liu Ao.

Beidi County is far away from Chang'an, Gu Yong is not afraid of Liu Ao's pursuit order.His smell of gunpowder is still very strong, and the content of the memorial is still repeated, and the meaning is still the same: God has already warned His Majesty, if His Majesty still favors someone and does not take the initiative to approach a woman with good behavior and kind personality, God will punish him with disaster. Finally, I would like to advise you again: don't go out on your own, don't drink too much, and don't play with women like crazy.If you behave yourself, there will always be rewards.

Liu Ao is not stupid, he knows that Zhang Fang is right under Gu Yong's nose.For the sake of Zhang Fang, he still took it easy.Therefore, when he read Gu Yong's memorandum, he no longer had a violent reaction. Instead, he praised and said to the people around him: "Okay! Governor Gu Yong got the point right." Liu Ao's words were immediately uploaded to the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this.Smoke bombs, definitely smoke bombs.Wait!Let's see what tricks he can pull off. Sure enough, a few months later, Liu Ao thought that the news had died down, so he quickly recalled Zhang Fang to Chang'an and appointed him as a servant.But he didn't expect that after the appointment, the Queen Mother's note would arrive. Liu Ao was not the first emperor to be favored by his mother's death.Have you ever remembered that in the era of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there was a world-famous cruel official in Chang'an, named Zhidu, nicknamed "Goshawk".How awesome is this person?As soon as he arrived at the border of the Huns, he didn't even need to shoot an arrow, he just had to tell someone to spread the word outside, saying that everyone had come and planned to stay here for a long time.The Huns ran away without saying a word. At that time, Liu Qi doted on Zhidu, but Empress Dowager Dou didn't like him at all.I don't like it, mainly because he is too murderous, and even Liehou's clan doesn't pay attention to him.Ever since, Empress Dowager Dou was going to deal with him, and Liu Qi immediately transferred Zhidu to other places.Not long after, Liu Qi thought it was all right, and planned to recall Zhidu back to Chang'an, but Empress Dowager Dou sent people to collect materials, but he was still killed, and there was nothing to stop him. For Liu Ao now, the Queen Mother is the palm of his hand, while Zhang Fang is the back of his hand.It is indeed difficult to deal with meat on both sides, but when he has to chop off one side of the meat, Zhang Fang cannot escape. The note that the Queen Mother entrusted was passed on with only one sentence: You didn't do what I said, why did you let Zhang go back to Chang'an? There is no more word.But when Liu Ao saw it, his eyelids jumped in shock.He finally understood that the Queen Mother still couldn't let Zhang Fang go. Liu Ao had no choice but to ask Zhang Fang to leave Chang'an temporarily, but this time he did not return to Beidi County.Gu Yong is there, it's too dangerous.Liu Ao moved Zhang Fang to a place - Tianshui County.The official position is military attache, commander of the garrison in the immigration area (Dianguo Duwei). When sending Zhang Fang away from Chang'an, Liu Ao's eyes were swollen from crying.He told Zhang Fang again and again, brother, bear with it!I won't leave you alone.As soon as I get the chance, I'll call you back for a reunion. After Zhang Fang left, Liu Ao began to count the time and wait for the opportunity.However, God did not give him a chance, and disasters occurred one after another in the Han Dynasty, which was an ominous sign.Ever since, Liu Ao endured while waiting, and learned to perform while being patient. Liu Ao showed special filial piety to the Queen Mother. Every time he went to visit the Queen Mother, he always brought a group of high-ranking officials with him.At this time, Liu Ao's health also began to improve, his face turned from black to red, and he looked much healthier.Someone also told the Queen Mother that during the time Zhang Fang left him, he was no longer interested in going out of the palace to play privately.More importantly, he is much more active in his studies than before, and often translates Confucian classics. Whether it is true or false, the queen mother is always happy when she hears it.Being a mother is actually very simple. As long as the child learns well, the body is healthy, the family is happy, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, she is satisfied as the Queen Mother, and she is absolutely Amitabha. In fact, Liu Ao did all this for one thing, to get Zhang Fang back to Beijing so that he could live a reunion life.A year later, the opportunity came again. Zhang Fang's mother, Princess Jingwu, is ill, and the son must come back to take care of her.This was a grandiose excuse, so Zhang Fang returned to Chang'an smoothly. Perhaps at that time, Zhang Fang thought that he could stay on this time, and Liu Ao even thought that the Queen Mother had no reason to issue an expulsion order.Victory belongs to them, to the pig friends and dog friends who last forever. However, Liu Ao miscalculated again.A few months later, the Queen Mother sent another message: Zhang Fang has fulfilled his filial piety, please leave Chang'an as soon as possible.Liu Ao really wanted to cry but had no tears.Is there no pure friendship between drinking friends?Why did the Queen Mother want to break up their golden friends? Of course, if Liu Ao really wants to know the answer, the Queen Mother will not let him down. Her answer is: pity the parents of the world.If Zhang let go, I would suffer from insomnia all night, cramps all over my body, and burst into tears.Are these adverse reactions not enough to resist your nostalgia for a so-called friend? Liu Ao shook his head and sighed, seeming to understand.With tears in his eyes, he had no choice but to send Zhang Fang on the road again. let's go!Don't be obsessed with Chang'an, Chang'an is just a legend.I think this should be the last word from the Queen Mother's heart as a gift to Zhang Fang.
