Chapter 73 Geng Yun

The princes who entered the city on the same day, in addition to Liu Yu, were newly appointed, and there were more than ten feudal princes who had gone through several generations.

Following the rites, when the feudal lords enter the city, they must be greeted by the Dahonglu Wangjian personally in the suburbs. Therefore, when Liu Xiu and A Shu’s frame approached, they could see Wang Jian in his court clothes and respectfully greeted him with a group of officials.

It was only in recent years that Liu Yu was awarded the title of King Xiao by virtue of his merits. All matters are handled by subordinates.

Those who did not have a residence in Chang’an had their own premises arranged by Da Honglu, while Liu Yu led A Shu to live in the former residence of Da Situ.

A year or two apart, everything in the Situ Mansion was the same as before, except that Wang Jian had swept it in advance and reorganized the courtyard bed. However, before waiting for Ah Shu to sigh with emotion and thinking about the past, Wang Jian smiled and bowed and said, “The Queen Mother and Your Majesty invite the King and Queen to visit the Weiyang Palace.”

It turned out that outside the mansion, Feng Ting, the servant of the Huangmen, had been ordered to drive a carriage to greet him.

Ah Shu felt uneasy, but it was difficult to reveal it in front of Wang Jian and the others, so she had to change her clothes a little and get into the carriage. Liu Xiu also did not drive the horse, and entered the car with Ashu.

On the way from Fuzhong to Weiyang Palace, Ashu sat in the car with her eyebrows lowered, her fists clenched, and she was always worried. In this life of rebirth, due to various reasons, whether it was the last time she went to Chang’an or when she got married, she had never seen Empress Zhang, Shaodi, or even Geng Yun.

“But I’m a little uneasy in my heart?” Liu Xiu noticed her strangeness just now, and when the two were alone, he reached out and covered her in his cuffs.

Those two tightly clenched fists clenched, brought them to the lips and kissed, and looked down at her joints, which were whitened by the force, and said, “Don’t worry.”

Ah Shu took a deep breath, raised her drooping head, and turned her watery eyes. She looked at him as usual, with a smile on her face, a gentle demeanor, no panic at all, so she couldn’t help but try to calm down. , smiled awkwardly at him.

Liu Xiu reached out and stroked her pink cheeks, staying for a moment beside the two smiling faces, and couldn’t help but lean in to kiss her.

Ah Shu’s face was red and her ears were red, most of the time, she twisted her head, stretched out her hand to push, and said shyly, “No, I managed to clean up the makeup and hair.”

Liu Yu deliberately teased, but did not back away, but was very careful with her hand movements, and did not touch her bun and flat clothes: “Where did you get the makeup? eclipsed.”

Although Ah Shu was shy and unstoppable, she completely relaxed because of his boundless teasing. She straightened her back even more, and said angrily, “Husband, you can’t be so ignorant.”

Liu Xiu looked at her carefully, and saw that the hand she had just clenched her fist had loosened, and the look of confusion in her eyes had faded away. You just follow me closely.”

There are many palaces in Chang’an City, but the ones that are still in use today are the second palaces of Changle and Weiyang.

Changle Palace is in the east, where the Empress Dowager lives, and Weiyang Palace is in the west, where the Son of Heaven lives. However, the emperor was very young, and except for occasional important events, he lived in the Weiyang Palace, and the rest of the time lived with the Queen Mother in the Changle Palace. Between these two palaces, apart from Zhangtai Street, which runs through the whole city, there is also the former Prime Minister’s Mansion, the current Da Sima Mansion.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Xiao Huangmen trotted to greet them, leading the two to the front hall in the middle of Weiyang Palace. The front hall is located on the Longshou Hill, which is the tallest building in the Weiyang Palace.

Ah Shu and Liu Xi walked side by side, and they had no leisure to enjoy the scenery.

Not long after, the door opened, and dozens of people from the palace filed out from the inside, lined up on both sides, bowed their brows and said, “Your Majesty, please let the king and queen come in and see.”

A gloom flashed in Liu Xiu’s eyes, but his face did not change, and he walked in. Ashu couldn’t help pinching the corner of his clothes, straightening his back as best he could, with a calm look, and followed closely behind him.

The layout of the main hall is similar to that of Changle Palace. Although the doors and windows are open and sunlight penetrates, it is bright and bright, but the pair of mother and child on the high seat, dressed in beautiful clothes and beautifully decorated, are condescending, but they remind Shu of a dream and died in Changle Palace. The scene of the arrow rain.

Before she could pray, she stumbled under her feet and almost fell softly. Liu Xiu, who was just a step away from him, seemed to have sensed something, and quietly stretched out his hand to firmly support her.

The big palm he held A Shu was warm and generous, strong and powerful, and taught her to gather her mind, which was originally in a trance.

The two bowed down, called Your Majesty Changle Weiyang, and then called Empress Dowager Changle Wuji.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and neither of the two on the high seat made a sound, as if they were deliberately delaying, and Liu Yu and A Shu did not get up either.

The young emperor Liu Xian had a crown on the top of his head, and was wearing dark dark clothes. His face was pale and his body was thin. In his eyes that were not very divine, although they were still clear, they revealed an undisguised cowardice. He looked down at the two of them in the hall, and there was a moment of joy on his face, but then it was overwhelmed in an instant. He carefully looked at Zhang Hou on the side, waiting for her to speak.

Zhang Hou on the side is dressed in a red robe and a yellow belt, with jade on his waist and gold in his hair. Although his face has subtle wrinkles and signs of age, he has magnificent eyebrows, smooth hair and skin, and is well maintained. He is nearly forty years old and gave birth to two children. , not only does not have the color of old age, but it is more mature and dazzling.

However, in her pair of beautiful eyes, the two people with their heads bowed from below, and finally landed on the slender and graceful figure. There was not a trace of joy, but an uncontrollable complex jealousy.

As expected of her daughter, she lives up to her reputation. She is a bit more beautiful than the silk painting when she sees a real person. Even she, who was conceited about her beauty when she was young, must sigh.

For such a woman, if it weren’t for that prophecy, it would have been a waste to marry Liu Xiu.

Zhang Hou was in a state of confusion and did not respond for a while, when he suddenly felt that the emperor beside him stretched out his hand and gently tugged at her sleeve, calling out “mother queen” in a low voice, then he came back to his senses, raised his slender eyebrows, and hooked at the little emperor. Twisted the corners of his lips.

Liu Xian seemed to have agreed, and his pale and frail face suddenly filled with vivid joy. He got up from behind the case, dragged his long robe and sleeves, and stepped up and down the steps, in front of the two people below. He wanted to reach out to help him, but he seemed to remember something, his eyes showed timidity, and he hesitated.

Zhang Hou couldn’t help frowning when he saw this, covered his lips with his hand, and coughed lightly.

The sound awakened Liu Xian and made him shrink for a while. He was bold and trembling to help Liu Xiu up first, and timidly said: “King Xiao has helped me settle the rebellion for the past two years. rise.”

Liu Yu smiled as usual, modest and courteous, followed the little emperor’s hand and got up, shook his head as if he was guilty, and said, “This is what the ministers should do. Your Majesty praises it.”

Liu Xian twitched the corners of his mouth hastily, smiling, then turned around and bent over to help Ah Shu. This time, his hands didn’t tremble, and even a shy smile appeared on his pale face. As soon as Ah Shu looked up, he smiled with two white tiger teeth, and called out “Sister” in a very low voice.

When Ah Shu heard the sound, her slowly straightening body suddenly froze for a moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at the eleven-year-old boy in front of her. On that pale face, there was a clear smile that couldn’t be concealed, like a small silver needle. There was a hole in her heart, and a sudden pain caused her to pull out an ugly smile.

However, Liu Xian didn’t notice it at all, and half of the paleness on his face was gone when he smiled, until there was a light cough from behind him, he restrained his smile, and returned to his solemn and cowardly appearance, turning his head down and walking back. seat.

Zhang Hou’s beautiful eyes swept across his face, Fang put on a smile, and said, “King Xiao and the queen should all take their seats.”

In response, the palace people moved the already prepared couch, and the two of them took their seats.

“Originally, King Xiao was confident that he had traveled all the way before he settled in Chang’an. He should have been tired, and I should not ask you to wait in the palace. However, I really miss my daughter. I haven’t seen each other for many years. I miss you.” Zhang Hou said, pretending to be a mother, and smiled at A Shu, “I heard that King Xiao loves A Shu very much and protects him everywhere, I am very grateful.”

Ah Shu looked at her hypocritical appearance, her heart trembled for a while, a thin layer of pimples appeared on her back, she shook uncontrollably, smiled stiffly, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she had never heard of it.

In the past life, I was fascinated by Zhang Hou’s hypocritical and pitiful appearance from time to time, so I believed her again and again. Now that I come back, I must not be deceived by her again.

Liu Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at A Shu sideways, and said with a smile; “The queen mother is Miaozan, A Shu is the wife that the minister took the initiative to marry. The husband and wife are one body, and they should respect each other as guests.”

Zhang Hou originally called people, but before Geng Yun made a move, he took the lead to test whether Liu Xiu’s intentions for A Shu were true. She is now at odds with Geng Yun, and is eager to win over the forces secretly, Liu Xiu can be driven. However, she had killed Liu Xiu before, and now she regrets it so much that she has to be wary of Liu Xiu while trying to win over him.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the two of them carefully, and said, “It’s very good for you to think this way. Your Majesty and you are both clansmen with the surname of Liu. Now that you are married to Ashu, you are also a family with my mother and son. I know that. King Xiao is talented and courageous, so please mention your majesty more in the future, so that he can manage politics as soon as possible.”

Liu Xian was still too young to be in power, so Geng Yun took over the power in the DPRK, and the Queen Mother could not speak. However, if this continues, in a few years, the emperor will reach the age of pro-government. In order to retain his power, Geng Yun may follow the example of his predecessors and abolish the emperor.

Liu Yu naturally understood Zhang Hou’s intention to win over, but he ignored it and said without a single drop of water: “The Queen Mother’s words are serious. The qualifications are still inexperienced, and it is unbearable, and I dare not talk about ‘promotion’, everything is still up to the big Sima to decide.”

Zhang Hou made a gesture of affection but did not respond at all, his delicate and dignified face suddenly stiffened, and he forced a smile: “I have never doubted King Xiao’s sincerity, but since you are married to Shu, there is a difference in closeness-”

Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, followed by a familiar voice: “The Queen Mother, why is there a difference between closeness and familiarity?”

The voice was deep and deep, revealing that he had been in a high position all the year round, and his unbridled arrogance made Ah Shu tremble uncontrollably.

I saw Da Sima Gengyun, under the guidance of Xiao Huangmen, walked in without any scruples without any scruples. At this moment, he was looking at the empress dowager and the emperor on the seat with a cold expression, as if waiting for their explanation.

Geng Yunzu has had two ranked third princes and three ranked nine ministers. When he was young, due to his arrogance and arrogance, he was predicted to be extraordinary by many people. Now that he is not confused and handsome, he is still broad-faced, tall and heroic. Apart from his usual coercion, he has a mature air of his own, which makes him Unforgettable.

Zhang Hou didn’t want to be heard by him, so he hurriedly smiled and forced an explanation: “I was just talking to King Xiao, since I married my daughter, it is a real family. Sima will work together to assist Your Majesty.”

Geng Yun’s eyes, since entering the hall, have been attracted by A Shu who is sitting beside Liu Yu.

As if he hadn’t heard the words of the Empress Zhang, he just stared at A Shu for a long time, his eyes full of undisguised coveting and plundering.

A Shu became more and more uneasy when he looked at her, and suddenly recalled that in the dream of her previous life, the two years she was his wife in Geng Yun’s mansion, she was disturbed and panicked.

Geng Yun is so delicate and beautiful, and has many wives and concubines. Because she is the daughter of the queen mother, Fang abolished his wife and made her his wife. Xu is because he only loves her beauty. After getting married, he built a mansion for her alone. Not only did he not allow his wives and concubines to set foot there, but also made her trapped in a small space and could not easily communicate with others. In those two years, she had lived a well-off, peaceful and quiet life, but she was lonely and hard to endure, and she ended up miserably, and she really didn’t want to think about it again.

She could not help but quietly hide behind Liu Xiu.

Liu Yu felt displeased, and quietly squeezed A Shu’s hand, stood up without changing his face, blocked his sight, and said with a smile, “What the Queen Mother said is good, but she has no talent and no virtue, no Dare to be compared with Da Sima.”

Geng Yun seemed to notice Liu Yu at this moment, looked him up and down for a moment, then slowly retracted his gaze, before waiting for the little emperor to speak, he waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to move to the couch, sat down directly, looked at Zhang Hou from the corner of his eye as if warning, and sneered. Dao: “You have some self-knowledge. I’m afraid, some people don’t think so.”

After all, he looked directly at Zhanghou and Shaodi on the high seat with sharp eyes. Zhang Hou was able to endure it, but the little emperor was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling all over, and he lowered his head silently, daring to look at him again.

Seeing the emperor’s appearance, Geng Yun seemed to despise him. With a snort in his nose, Fang sat and cupped his hands slightly: “Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, when the minister enters the palace today, he has something to report.”

“On the border of the five counties in Youzhou, the Huns and the Wuhuan fought. The battle was fierce, and the Wuhuan had the appearance of being defeated. The report of the captain of the Wuhuan in Youzhou has only arrived in Chang’an today. I urge you to send troops to support the Wuhuan and fight against the Wuhuan. Please also The Queen Mother and Her Majesty have decided.”

He actually had a plan in his mind, and asking at this time was just a superficial effort. Zhang Hou naturally knew, and smiled reluctantly: “I am a woman, how can I know about military and political matters? It’s good for the big Sima to decide on his own.”

The little emperor also lowered his head and said tremblingly, “I also listen to the decision of the Great Sima.”

Geng Yun has long been used to this, no surprise, but instead rebuked the little emperor: “Your Majesty is already eleven, and he has been studying for many years, so he should have his own opinion, how can it only be decided by the minister?”

As soon as these words came out, he seemed to be a sincere courtier who was entrusted to the orphan by the late emperor, who was devoted to the Han, and the little emperor became more and more uneasy.

Geng Yun was satisfied, and turned to Liu Yu: “There are always people in the DPRK saying that I am arbitrary, and King Xiao is here. I might as well ask, what do you think about this matter?”

The author has something to say: I can try a little more tomorrow.
