Chapter 132

Luoyang.

On the seventh day of the eleventh lunar month, the first day of the Xin Chou month in the Bingshen year, the Star Officials of the Great Ceremony declared that it was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and everything went smoothly.

On the eve of Yiwei Day, the lotus stand was brightly lit. Xing Xun summoned his courtiers to work through the night.

Xing Xun sat high on the platform, watching the four seats, looking forward and proud. The group of bureaucrats under the seat stood by and waited for news. Everyone was smiling and waiting for news.

Then, Wei Weiqing Gao Zhun hurriedly stepped inside, kneeling and offering a piece of yellow silk.

It is the imperial edict of the young emperor Liu Tong. Saying that he is ashamed of his virtue, he is willing to imitate the sages of ancient times, and let the emperor be located in Xingxun.

Gao Zhun reported again that tomorrow, at an auspicious time, when the hundreds of officials were promoted to the hall and the prime minister entered the Qianqiu Hall, the young emperor would personally help the prime minister to ascend the throne and read the edict of Zen.

As soon as these words came out, the lotus platform burst into cheers. The group of officials knelt down one after another and congratulated them with the ninety-five ceremony.

Xing Xun was complacent and gladly accepted. Amidst the singing of merits and virtues, I saw the speaker Zhu Zeng standing still, with hesitation on his face.

Zhu Zeng was Xing Xun’s old adviser, he supported him all the way, made suggestions, and entered Luoyang from Henan, and he was quite qualified. At this moment, everyone was celebrating, but he was the only one who didn’t kneel. Xing Xun felt unhappy and asked aloud.

Zhu Zeng said: “It’s not that the prime minister can’t become emperor, but the time has not come! Although the Han Dynasty is small, there is no tyranny. The prime minister is already a very personable minister, and he suddenly replaces it. What I am worried about is Wei Shao in the north. If Wei Shao is not eliminated in one day, the Prime Minister will have hidden worries. I know that the Prime Minister is also determined to attack Wei Shao. I can publish an order to settle him for an unruly crime, and then he will become famous, and then use Han Wouldn’t it be better if the emperor’s name called the princes together to attack him? If the prime minister started his apprenticeship in the name of the Han emperor, then Wei Shao’s response to the battle would be a blatant rebellion. Isn’t it right to give the name of King Wei Shaoqin to openly provoke the world and fight against the Prime Minister together?”

Xing Xun was displeased and said: “Why did you say this to destroy my happiness? The so-called virtuous, let the virtuous. The Han emperor is ashamed of himself and has no virtue. There are 500,000 soldiers and horses in the world, dozens of fierce generals, and the water can be cut off by throwing a whip. How can you be afraid of Wei Shao’s child? A month ago, there was auspiciousness in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. , take the blame!”

Zhu Zeng said: “It’s not me who said that. The so-called auspiciousness from the sky in the eastern suburbs of the previous month is really suspicious. The Su family has ulterior motives, and the prime minister must not be deceived by a woman, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!”

Xing Xun was a hero in his half-life, and naturally he couldn’t believe these auspicious dreams. It’s just that he was determined to be the emperor. Before, he was suffering from not having a suitable opportunity. He hesitated and swayed, and it happened that Emperor Su E had a dream and agreed to what he thought. If he handed a pillow to a sleepy person, the original five-point half-belief turned into a half-doubt. Seven or eight points.

Hearing Zhu Zeng’s words, he was furious: “You are bold! What is your motive? If it is not because you have been with me for so many years, I will punish you severely! I have made up my mind, and whoever has more words will be executed!”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers under his seat changed their color, and they all looked at Zhu Zeng, complaining a lot.

Zhu Zeng retreated after begging and was disheartened.

Thinking about Xing Xun, he is no longer as talented as he used to be when he first entered Luoyang. Nowadays, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he only uses flattering people around him. The people he believes in Feng Yi, Zang Chang, Feng Zhao, and Ding Qu are all villains. Can’t wait to force the young emperor to abdicate, replace him, and fight with Wei Shao, it is imminent. Judging the situation, I am afraid that the defeat has been decided.

Zhu Zeng returned to the mansion, worried in his heart. At dawn, he received a secret report that Xing Xun had listened to Su Nu’s persuasion and ordered someone to arrest him and behead him. Fortunately, he had no extra family in Luoyang, so he ran away from the South City Gate immediately. I originally wanted to vote for Wei Shao, but thought of Wei Shao’s ruthless means to deal with the enemy, shuddered and hesitated for a while, then turned around and ran to Hanzhong, instead of Hanzhong Hou Lezheng’s contribution.

…

Xiao Qiao has been pregnant for four months now, and her morning sickness reaction is extremely severe. At the worst, she can hardly drink a sip of water, and she mostly lies in bed sooner or later. Fortunately, Chunniang took care of her. Half a month ago, Zhong Li also arrived at Xindu from Yuyang.

Zhong Ni said that Mrs. Xu was very happy to hear the good news. He specially sent her here to serve with Chunniang, and told her to take care of herself in peace.

With the two of them taking good care of her, Wei Shao was even more considerate. He was afraid to hold it in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid that it would melt in his mouth. Although the military affairs were getting busy recently, he would come back to accompany her whenever he was free. Therefore, although the body feels unwell, but Xiao Qiao’s mood is peaceful and happy. I sent a letter to Yanzhou to tell my father that I was pregnant.

During the day, the courier from Yanzhou also arrived and delivered a letter from his father.

Qiao Ping was overjoyed and told her to take care of herself. Said that Qiao Ci was busy training outside, and when he returned, he would tell him the good news.

He also said that everything was fine at home, and that she should not worry about her, and told her to get along well with her son-in-law.

Xiao Qiao read his father’s letter back and forth several times.

The text is inconvenient. Although my father didn’t say it clearly in the letter, from the mention of the fact that Adi was busy with military training, it can be seen that all along, the father has never let go of the things that he had discussed before.

The most direct purpose of her persuading her father to try to be strong was, of course, to avoid being that dignified bird, and in the future a catastrophe would come without knowing it.

Now, with Wei Shao’s assurance, Xiao Qiao’s heart was not completely relieved, but it was much more lenient than before.

But even so, Xiao Qiao still felt that Yanzhou should be stronger.

In such a chaotic world, only the soldiers are strong and strong, and when they are attacked, no matter who comes, they have room to turn around.

It’s always better than having to turn to someone for help every time.

Xiao Qiao felt very at ease when he read his father’s words, which he had no intention of.

I slept all afternoon during the day, and felt refreshed in the evening, so I got up and returned a book to my father.

After I wrote the reply, because it was almost winter, the days were getting shorter, and it was only in the middle of the hour, and it was getting dark. Chunniang entered the room to hold the lamp.

Zhong Ni instructed the two servants and wives to carry the food table into the room, put it on the couch, and asked Xiao Qiao to have dinner with a smile.

Xiao Qiao asked Wei Shao.

The reason for asking is that although he has gradually become busy recently, he has usually returned by this hour.

Since she was pregnant, she has eaten six or seven meals a day, and she can’t eat dinner too early, so these days, she waits for him to come back and eat together.

Today, there is no sign of him.

Zhong Ni said: “The male gentleman just now sent someone to spread the word, saying that it will be late to come back. Please ask the female gentleman to eat by himself first, without waiting for him.”

Since Wei Shao specially sent someone back to spread the word, there must be something wrong.

Xiao Qiao didn’t wait any longer and ate the meal by himself. Fearing that he would vomit again, he stood in the room for a while to digest his food, and was urged by Chunniang to lie down.

Wei Shao has not returned.

After Xiao Qiao was pregnant, in addition to morning sickness, she also loved to feel sleepy.

The days were basically murky. Lying on the bed, waiting for Wei Shao while sleeping, in a daze, he fell asleep.

When she woke up, her ears were quiet, and she didn’t know what time it was.

Without opening his eyes, he felt a fiery body beside him, and knew that Wei Shao was on the bed.

Feeling as if he was touching his cheek, he hummed softly and softly, stretched his waist like a cat, raised his hand to hug his shoulder, and lay on his chest softly, still closing his eyes. , asked vaguely, “When did your husband return?”

“It’s been a while.”

listen to him.

Xiao Qiao Fang opened his eyes, put his arm on one side and looked at the clock leak in the room, and was shocked that it was already late in the second half of the night.

Then he turned to Wei Shao: “It’s so late, husband still not sleeping?”

Wei Shao didn’t answer. Just staring at her face.

As soon as he slept, his cheeks burned. The demeanor of Wen Xiangyanyu, Taoyao Liumei, without knowing it, is very attractive.

He tried his best to hold back the thought of leaning on Yu Huanxiang, he hugged her flat on the pillow, put his palm lightly on her flat belly, and asked with a smile, “How hard are you being tormented by this little thing today?”

Xiao Qiao leaned back on the pillow and shook her head: “I slept today, and it’s much better.”

She and Wei Shao looked at each other: “But what happened? Husband came back so late?”

Moreover, he always felt that the eyes he looked at him were a little different from usual.

“Manman, I won’t be able to accompany you and our little things in the next few days.” Wei Shao said, staring at her.

Xiao Qiao was startled. Subconsciously, he wanted to ask what was wrong, but he changed his words.

“Is there going to be another war?” she whispered.

“Xing Xun usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Assembled troops and horses, known as 500,000, ready to go north to cross the Yellow River and attack me.”

When Wei Shao said this, his tone was calm.

But Xiao Qiao noticed a ray of excitement in his deep eyes.

Joe was stunned.

She knew that there would be a decisive battle between Wei Shao and Xing Xun.

This will be a battle that will change the color of the wind and cloud, and will determine the general trend of the world.

For the winning side, there is no doubt that the journey to the direction of the world will be unstoppable and unstoppable.

Just like the previous life she dreamed of.

Of course she also knew the outcome.

But unlike the previous life in her dream, the battle with Wei Shao for the key to the world started after Xing Xun proclaimed himself emperor and Luoyang, which came so early.

At this moment she didn’t expect, it came abruptly several years earlier.

…

Xindu became the temporary pre-war military command that Wei Shao sniped against.

The atmosphere above the city suddenly became tense.

A few days later, the people finally noticed that there seemed to be an endless stream of generals in armor and solemn expressions that rushed here from all directions.

They began to talk nervously about whether a new war was coming again.

The people’s guess was not wrong.

Li Dian, Li Chong, Zhang Jian, Wei Liang…

Wei Shao’s generals who had experienced hundreds of battles learned the news within a few days. After preparing to stay behind, they were called from Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places, and rushed to Xindu one after another.

The army began to move south one after another, Chen Bing on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The square city gate of Xindu, from morning to night, even in the middle of the night, from time to time, meteors and horses galloped in and out like lightning, delivering various news and news.

In the discussion hall of the front hall of the Xingong, the lights are often lit late at night, and even all night long.

Wei Shao and his strategists, generals, freight and forage officials, and their officers, negotiated countermeasures and discussed strategies there.

They had already prepared for this battle.

So although the atmosphere was tense, everything went smoothly.

It’s just that Wei Shao suddenly became very busy.

It is impossible for Xiao Qiao to see him again during the day.

He was always back late at night.

Sometimes in the early morning, before falling asleep for a moment, I would be called away by a new news about the front line of the Yellow River.

Half a month later, on this day at the end of November, Wei Shao finally made up his mind.

Taking Liyangdu in the Yellow River Hebei as the battle base, building Zhazha, Gaotang and Fanjin, and building the horns, Huangchi two hundred miles to the southwest is the food and grass storehouse, and the defensive line is ready to attack Xingxun’s army. On the north bank of the Yellow River, a decisive battle.

Three days later, he will leave Xindu and send his army to Liyang.

Also on the same day, Xiao Qiao received a letter from Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu’s letter was very simple, with only one sentence.

She said: The surrogate grandmother fought for Shao’er.
