Vol 2 Chapter 950: She can be emperor (three shifts)

Gu Ling came to the barracks and asked to see Luhou.
Mr. Dou greeted him personally, "General Gu is here! Master Hou is thinking about you, why not take two more days at home? General Gu has more than ten days of vacation."
Gu Ling smiled, "This general is here to meet your father-in-law!"
The implication is that today is only a private visit, not an official business.
"Please come from General Gu! A few packets of new tea have been delivered from the capital, and General Gu will also taste it!"
"Okay! I have a blessing today, so I can drink Hou Ye's tea."
Gu Ling was happy and seemed to be in a good mood.
He followed Mr. Dou into the signing room.
Both Luhou and his son are here.
"Meet Hou Ye, Uncle!"
The father and the son had a title of prince, an uncle, and a double title. As expected, they were blooming with flowers and cooking oil.
"Gu Yu is here, sit down and drink tea!"
Luhou said hello.
Gu Yu thanked him and sat down at the bottom.
He didn't understand the tactics of observing words and colors, and it was difficult to tell whether what an old fox of Luhou's level said was true or false.
But he has his own way.
He went straight into it, "I'm not sure if I come to visit Master Hou today."
"what's up?"
"Can Lord Hou tell the final general, what is the next plan? Will he continue to pursue Xiliang? Is there any will from the court?"
Mr. Dou took the lead in raising his eyebrows, and when he was outside the door, he kept saying to visit his father-in-law. As soon as I sat down, I called myself up and down and asked about business affairs. I'm really impatient.
Mr. Dou is not in a hurry.
Luhou was equally in no hurry.
Luhou laughed and pointed to Gu Ling, "You, you, you are as impatient as always. Now that you are back, I will rest at home for a few days to accompany my wife and children. Xiao Man has complained to Benhou several times, saying that you are all year round. If you don’t return home, the children don’t remember you. This time, Benhou made an exception to make up for your vacation and let you rest for a month."
Gu Yu looked embarrassed, "Don’t tell the Lord Hou, the general is accustomed to life in the barracks. I stayed at home for two days and panicked and didn’t know what to do to kill the time. I felt very uncomfortable. Let me return to the camp to train. Go back to the city to dine with Xiao Man and the children in the evening."
"If there is no war in the future, what will you do?" Luhou asked with a smile, "Sooner or later you have to learn to adapt to a relaxed life, and you can't be as tight as a bow all day."
Gu Ling had a simple and honest appearance, "I am used to life in the military camp, and I have stayed in the military camp all my life."
Lu Hou raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Yes, yes, a good man should be experienced in the military. But you are no longer young, and you should give the young people below a chance to experience. Go back and rest. Okay to go to battle and kill the enemy."
"Will our Northwest Army continue to pursue Xiliang?" Gu Ling asked excitedly.
Luhou smiled and said, "General Gu should not ask about military secrets, nor should he ask."
"Does the court have any orders?"
"If there is a will involving the whole army, this will be made public."
It didn't matter if Gu Ling couldn't get the answer.
He got up to say goodbye and did not stay much longer.
Mr. Dou looked at Luhou, and after obtaining acquiescence, he chased him out.
"General Gu, General Gu and so on."
Mr. Dou caught up with Gu Ling, "Can General Gu appreciate his face and have a drink with the old man."
"Drinking at this hour?" Gu Ling looked at the sky, "Mr. Dou is not afraid to engage in military law?"
Mr. Dou laughed, "General Gu is on vacation, and the old man is also on vacation. During the vacation, you can drink at any time. Walk around, the express station opened a new tavern, the boss is really, and the discount is given."
...
Sign the house.
Pei Meng Da Ma Jindao sat on the chair, "Father, Gu Ling is the queen's real brother after all. It is better for us to stay in the northwest."
Luhou waved his hand, "You have met and dealt with Queen Gu, what kind of person do you think she is?"
Pei Meng said solemnly: "Is a woman not to be underestimated."
Lu Hou said blankly: "Liu Zhao, this man, knows exactly what he has. They have tossed up various titles over the years. What role does Liu Zhao play in it?"
Pei Meng frowned, "What does father mean?"
Lu Hou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Looking at Liu Zhao, who hasn't taken a concubine for many years, he hasn't even had a maidservant. The queen has not been drafted to expand the harem when he becomes the emperor. Who do you think is the real master of the two empresses?"
Pei Meng was silent.
Lu Hou continued: "There is news from the capital that the Queen Mother has not left Weiyang Palace for a few months, and no one can enter Weiyang Palace to visit the Queen Mother. If it is not for the doctor to make sure that the Queen Mother is resting, the Pei family will suspect the Queen Mother. Is it no longer alive? At the same time, Queen Gu took the private money to build civil engineering in the palace and build the palace. Before the palace was built, she insisted on living in the Qin Palace. Queen Gu lived in the Qin Palace, and Liu Zhao followed to live in the Qin Palace. I don’t think there is anything wrong with doing this. What did you think of?"
Pei Meng whispered: "This is not a simple discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nor is it a simple discord between mother and child."
Luhou nodded, "This is a power struggle between the Queen Mother and the Queen. Obviously, the Queen Mother won. The Queen Mother was defeated. There was no backhand strength. The Queen Mother insisted on Weiyang Palace and refused to move away. Make a lot of work directly in the harem, this is a face slap!
As a son, Liu Zhao, what did he do? He banned the Queen Mother, he clearly and firmly stood on the Queen's side. As the birth mother of Liu Zhao, the queen mother can't even fight a simple dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She is incompetent! She was also fate, married to Emperor Wende Chengzong, and gave birth to Liu Zhao. "
Luhou couldn't afford the Queen Mother Pei.
In his eyes, Queen Mother Pei is a stupid woman who doesn't know how to use her advantage. Do something that is criticized.
They all became queen mothers and haven't learned the Gongdou style. The only blame is that Emperor Wende Chengzong is too indulgent, and she is missing the important course of survival in the cracks.
Emperor Wende Chengzong does not love the Queen Mother Pei, nor does he spoil her, but respect her and indulge her. Give mother Pei the back, and don't interfere with her affairs.
Since then, over the years, Empress Dowager Pei has developed a unique character when Chengzong Wende is away.
I have forgotten the taste of imposing compromises long ago, and I also threw the conspiracy set in the chamber pot.
Ten will drop in one effort!
When in the palace, she was the princess. She is the biggest of all women. She just slaps her when she is dissatisfied. She can't play tricks.
In the palace, she is the queen, and she is also the oldest. Regardless of which imperial concubine is pleasing to the eye, small punishments and great admonitions, Emperor Wende will not interfere.
Being the queen mother is even more terrible. She is the biggest woman in the world. The emperor is her son, and nothing can restrain her.
As a result, miscalculation!
Liu Zhao, the rogue emperor, is much more fierce than Lao Tzu. If you don't agree, do it!
infamy?
Scold casually!
He didn't care at all.
"As soon as Liu Zhao ascended the throne, he banned the queen mother for the sake of the queen. Guess where did he get his confidence?" Luhou asked with a smile.
Pei Meng frowned and said, "Queen?"
Lu Hou nodded his head heavily, "Obviously, the empress and the queen are the ones who dominate everything. Benhou would rather offend Liu Zhao that gangster than Gu."
Pei Meng frowned, "Does my father take the queen empress too seriously?"
Luhou took a sip of tea and said, "Is it heavy? In those years, when we traded with Xiliang, you didn't see anything? Obviously, Empress Empress had anticipated everything more than ten years ago and started planning war. For this matter, even the hopeless bald donkey was sent over early.
Things that seem messy are connected step by step and you will find that everything is in her plan. Benhou is not exaggerating to say that even this war has her calculations. "
Speaking of this, Lu Hou smiled coldly, "Xiliang suddenly sent troops, I am afraid that hopeless credit is indispensable. I heard that the mutiny occurred in Xiliang, and the prince who is hopeless to support won, and the prince must admire the ability of the bald donkey.
Nian Benhou underestimated him, but the queen did not underestimate him, but instead used him greatly, placing him in the most appropriate place and doing what he was best at. How many people in the world can compare her with this skill of knowing people and responsibilities, dare to think and do? If Liu Zhao had this ability, Benhou would turn his head off and kick the ball. Now, do you still think that Ben Hou valued the Queen Empress too much? "
Pei Meng took a deep breath, "Could it be that Da Zhou is going to have a female emperor? Then we can be justified..."
"Stop dreaming!" Luhou interrupted Pei Meng's delusion.
"Looking at the empress’s importance and training to the great prince, it’s clear that the prince is none other than the great prince. And the most wonderful thing about empress Gu is that she has all the conditions and resources to proclaim the emperor, but she is not greedy and does not rush to kill her. Keep a thread in everything. She keeps a thread to others and to herself. She has the influence and popularity that she has today. She is not an emperor better than an emperor, but she can also leave a good name. It is much better than directly calling the emperor."
"If it is possible to be emperor but not emperor, there is such a person in the world?" Pei Meng did not understand.
Luhou laughed, "Look at what she has done over the years. What she wants is not that position, but to change the world! What she wants is a big change. Any change will have to withstand a fierce counterattack. Who is the emperor? Under pressure. When Liu Zhao is an emperor, she is much better than her own. The pressure belongs to Liu Zhao. She only needs to hide behind the scenes and implement her own plan step by step to support the prince. This is the smart way."
"Liu Zhao willing?"
"Why not reconciled? If he succeeds, he will be a famous emperor. Who can refuse?"
Famous eternal monarch!
Pei Meng's heart was stirred.
Then he asked: "If Liu Zhao has become a famous emperor through the ages, isn't our Northwest Army destined to become his stepping stone? Father, what should we do?"
Luhou took out a letter from the secret compartment, "This is a letter from Empress Empress to Benhou."
"The queen empress actually wrote to his father?"
Luhou smiled. The white envelope placed on the table looked like a hot potato, which made him dare not touch it easily.
He said to Pei Meng, "You will go to the capital on behalf of Benhou and Gu Ling Xiaoman back to Beijing by the way."
"what?"
