As Your Majesty’s mother, no one dared to instruct her in the palace. Your Majesty has long stopped eating human breasts. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng has plenty of free time.

After getting the ten gold cakes of Empress Dowager Dong, Mrs. Cheng took the carriage in Huangmen Temple and left the palace. But she was also free.

Luoyang Xiguo, Yanxili, Chenghuang Mansion.

He put the golden cake in the boudoir and went out of the house to see his adoptive father Cheng Huang marching. Then he went forward and bowed: "Father."

"My son looks proud and there will be a happy event." Cheng Huang looked kind and kind, as if he was the same as an ordinary elder.

"From Empress Dowager Dong, I got ten golden cakes." Mrs. Cheng replied, "It is for the reward for feeding the boy."

"But Empress Dowager Dong ordered the ghost-escaped boy to be selected by the Yeting Court." Cheng Huang asked casually.

"That's right." Mrs. Cheng answered casually.

Cheng Huang smiled and said, "Empress Dowager Dong finally felt guilty. The mummy puppet on the sand dune platform must be Emperor Xiaoren. "There are many green ghosts in lewd worships. Therefore, he raised a boy to chase the ghosts." In short, lewd worship refers to a sacrifice that does not conform to the ritual system, a sacrifice that is not supposed to be sacrificed, and a sacrifice that is absurd. It includes two types of sacrifices that are not included in the rituals. The Book of Rites: Quli says: "If you sacrifice it, you are called a sacrifice. There is no blessing in lewd worship." Cheng Huang said that since Emperor Xiaoren has been buried, he should not secretly cover the body of a golden jade robes. This move is called "Yuefen sacrifice".

Mrs. Cheng suddenly recalled something and said with a smile: "What my father said is very true. Empress Dowager Dong is very concerned about the boy. Once, I saw her pick up a boy in person, with a very kind expression."

Cheng Huang smiled and said, "We can enjoy wealth and glory endlessly, so Empress Dowager Dong will naturally cherish her life."

"Mrs. Cheng nodded and said, "The Yongle Palace is full of gold, silver and wealth. When it comes to making money, Empress Dowager Dong will not give in too much."

"A mother must be like a son." Cheng Huang seemed careless and asked, "How about the Ten Generals?"

Mrs. Cheng replied: "Since the Taifu Duan Gui of Changle was impounded, the ten regular servants were very careful. They only served by Your Majesty, and it was difficult to interfere in political affairs. Previously, Liang Hu, the Minister of the Ministry, entered the western residence and presented the list of officials from various states. Your Majesty asked Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and neither of them had any more words. They only said that Your Majesty should be arbitrary."

"Hmph." Cheng Huang sneered: "It's just waving his tail and begging for mercy, and retreating to advance."

Mrs. Cheng also had questions: "First, Your Majesty asked Changle's servant to choose. Since Cao Jie selected Ah Father, why didn't he give in?"

"Changle Taipu is one of the three queens of the empress dowager, also known as the Zhong Taipu. If there is no queen, you will be in charge. Two thousand stones in the rank are above the Taipu." Cheng Huang sighed: "How can you not want to regain the high position and take power again? However, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were successively in trouble and punished Tong to be exempted from punishment. If you take office at this time, you will definitely be the target of public criticism. Especially Zhao Zhong, who was wearing the body of Xu Feng for no reason. Such a strange thing can be called a god and ghost. I believe that the ten regular attendants have already expected that someone was secretly framed. Although there is no real evidence, it is not difficult to guess: Looking at the palace, there are only two left now."

"A Father and Cao Jie." Mrs. Cheng blurted out.

"That's right." Cheng Huang smiled and said, "Cao Jie pushed me forward to block the arrows."

Mrs. Cheng suddenly realized: "Is it true that picking flowers and leaves, and easily taking the cicada, is it really what Cao Jie sent someone to do?"

Seeing that his adopted daughter was suspicious, Cheng Huang smiled bitterly: "All my son thought it was because his father secretly sent someone to do it."

The old father did not need to be faked, so Mrs. Cheng believed it: "Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are in power. All he uses are his best friends. But he doesn't know how Cao Jie's confidant can get close to Zhao Zhong."

Cheng Huang sighed, "Yongxiang, the hiding dragon and lying in the tiger. Just like my son, he wandered through the deep palace like a fish in water. There is also someone else."

"Like me, there is someone else." Mrs. Cheng thought.

After a brief pause, Cheng Huang said again: "Empress Dowager Dou has already promised me the position of "Changle Shaofu".

"Be serious!" Mrs. Cheng's eyes lit up. Changle Shaofu was established in the former Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Emperor Ping's Yuanshi (4th year), it was renamed Changxin Shaofu. It was in charge of the affairs of the Empress Dowager's harem. Now the Han Dynasty did not set it up often, and the Empress Dowager died and was in charge of the emperor's reign. She was in the Dachangqiu (please note), and she was also in the rank of two thousand stones, and her officials were all eunuchs.

"That's right." Cheng Huang smiled slightly: "Empress Dowager Dou married her aunt. She first came to marry Prince Ji. She second came to restrain Queen He married her sister. Yongle and Changqiu fought against each other, and Changle would eventually benefit."

"It's a pity that the two palaces in Luoyang have no longer the name of Changle (Palace)." Mrs. Cheng sighed.

After all, he raised himself and saw the opportunity. Cheng Huang smiled and said, "When he took office as the young mansion of Changle, he would make a statement and ask Your Majesty to lift the ban on Yuntai and move his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, to Yong'an Palace." Yong'an Palace is in the northeast corner of the North Palace, "698 meters in the circumference". The area is quite wide. If it is carefully repaired, it will definitely be like the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty.

"My father wants to borrow Empress Dowager Dou and compete with the Ten Constables!" Mrs. Cheng suddenly realized.

"That's right." Cheng Huang smiled slightly, and there were many scheming and conspiring things.

Seeing that my father's ambitions have regained, Mrs. Cheng is also full of ambitions. She is good at eunuchs' homes and should strive to be the best. It is said that you can enjoy the cool under the big tree. When my father is in control of great power, he also calls the wind and rain, and is so happy. Thinking of this, he said, "Two sisters, my father should recall them quickly."

"I have sent someone to send a message, and it will arrive soon." Cheng Huang smiled and said, "When you wait for the three sisters to reunite, you will always be with Empress Dowager Dou, so you should keep it safe."

Cheng Huang adopted a daughter and had three dead men. In addition to His Majesty's mother, Mrs. Cheng, there were two daughters. One of them married the former Situ Liu He and the other married the Forward Wei Yangqiu. After the two died, Cheng Huang moved the two daughters to another place to live in seclusion.

I thought that the three sisters would never have the chance to meet again in Luoyang in this life. Unexpectedly, my father was about to enter the ground and fought a life-threatening blow. He formed a secret alliance with Empress Dowager Dou. Seeing that the worst was coming, Mrs. Cheng was suddenly shocked: "Father, wait!"

"Why is my son like this?" Cheng Huang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Cheng's eyes flashed with fear: "But my father forgot that His Majesty's mother is Empress Dowager Dong, so how can she sit and watch Empress Dowager Dou get power?"

Cheng Huang had already expected this concern for adopting daughter: "My son, a wise man, may have a mistake."

"I dare to ask my father what was wrong."

"My son forgot that although Your Majesty was not born by Empress Dowager Dou, Empress Dowager Dou was Your Majesty's legitimate mother." Cheng Huang then expressed the key point: "The eldest son of the emperor Bian is not favored by Your Majesty. Your Majesty has said many times: 'Bian is frivolous and has no majesty, so he cannot be the ruler'. Therefore, the ministers have repeatedly asked for the title of the crown prince, but they are all hanging on the verge of the crown prince. It must be noted that the deposed Empress Song died early and there was no legitimate son. The eldest son of the emperor (Liu) Bian cooperated with the second son of the emperor (Liu) to be a concubine. 'Appointing the eldest son of the emperor is not a virtuous person, and a son of the son of the emperor is not a virtuous person, and a son of the eldest son of the emperor is not a virtuous person, and a son of the eldest son of the emperor is not a virtuous person', which is an ancient ritual. In ancient times, those who inherited the throne must be the eldest son. If there is no legitimate son, a "consummary has a son". However, among the princes of the concubine, a son of the noble concubine must be the crown prince, regardless of age."

Mrs. Cheng nodded gently: "This is the pre-Qin law, and I have not used it for a long time."

As Mrs. Cheng said, the "primary son inheritance system" was no longer implemented in this dynasty. The reason was that it became a common practice for our dynasty to interfere in politics. Eunuchs, relatives of the foreigners, and the two major groups often abandoned the ruler's system for their own interests. They even "greed to establish a young lord for a long time to do so."

Cheng Huang said, "Just like 'a fine of four taels of wine is 'a more than three people drinking for no reason'. Although it is not used now, the law still exists. If Your Majesty is to abandon the elders and establish the young, this method is the 'foundation of great righteousness'."

Mrs. Cheng suddenly realized: "Only with a legitimate mother has a legitimate son!"
