The first four years of its establishment were destined to be eventful years. The young emperor ordained his crown prince, Liu Qing, who was only two years old. His queen Dou had no children, so he canonized the eldest son born to the Song nobles. With some more princes and kings, Liu Wei still needs enough of his own people to stabilize this country for him.

After Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, the biggest difference from before was that the fiefs and powers of the princes and kings were greatly reduced, and the four or five princes and kings of the present day together were not as good as Liu Bi, the king of Wu in the early years of the Han Dynasty. Even Liu Yang, the closest Zhending King to this era, can't compare, it's really pitiful.

After finishing his own affairs, he began to rectify the courtiers. dismissed the previous meritorious cavalry general Ma Fang of the Qiang people, and promoted Situ Bao Yu as the captain, and Nanyang Taishou Huan Yu as the Situ, once again stabilized the court situation!

Before I could be happy, I faced another sadness. Empress Ming of the Han Dynasty, Empress Ma Mingde collapsed.

The country is vegetarian, and there is a mourning in the palace. Liu Wei couldn't speak of grief, and fainted in front of Ma Mingde's spirit.

The royal relationship in the Han Dynasty was a little chaotic. Liu Wei is not Ma Mingde's biological son, but was born to Liu Zhuang's noble Jia family. All this has to be traced back to the Fubo general Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan's original wife once left a daughter, who was Ma Mingde's eldest sister. After Yuan Pei's early death, Ma Yuan married his wife again, leaving behind his later children, and Ma Mingde was one of the daughters. Her eldest sister married to a meritorious family surnamed Jia, and the rest of her daughter is Liu Wei's biological mother Jia Guiren, and according to her seniority, she still calls Ma Mingde her aunt. The aunt became the adoptive mother of her own son, and this was the only one for thousands of years before this happened.

Liu Ying's queen Zhang Yan is still his niece, kiss. Empress Xu of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was the niece of his own grandmother, Xu Pingjun. The relationship between the royal family is simply too complicated.

For Ma Mingde, Guan Gao's attitude is obviously a lot better, and it is really not good to tie up a woman. Guan Gao embodies the good performance that a gentleman should have, waiting patiently.

Waiting is a manifestation of patience and is a very good quality, especially waiting for a woman. A group of ghost guards surrounded Ma Mingde, and after waiting for about two hours, the Queen Mother's bedroom was empty, and Ma Mingde recovered from a state of confusion.

With doubts in his eyes, he glanced at the surrounding group of ghosts, and the meaning was self-evident.

Guan Gao saw that her consciousness was clear, and said slowly: "Ma Mingde, I am the judge of Luoyang, and the chief secretary will lead the soul to the underworld, and you will die today, and I will come to pick you up." ”

Ma Mingde said: "The underworld?"

Guan Gao nodded and said: "Yes, if people die as ghosts, they all have to be extradited to the underworld, and they will go to the judge's mansion to judge their merits and demerits during their lifetime." ”

Ma Mingde asked, "Can the first emperor be in the underworld?"

Guan Gao said: "Liu Zhuang is also here, when you finish the process of the Judge's Mansion, you can reunite with the husband and wife, let's go." ”

Ma Mingde hurriedly said: "I still want to see my brother at home again, can the judge be accommodating?"

Guan Gao's face was a little embarrassed, not that this request violated the laws of the prefecture, but that ...... He really didn't want to spend a lot of time, he had been waiting here for two hours with the ghost pawn, and he really didn't want to wait any longer. Luoyang is very large, and the area under the jurisdiction of Luoyang's Chenghuang Mansion is even larger, and he, the judge, is very busy and doesn't want to spend too much time on the matter of attracting ghosts.

But Ma Mingde's request is very reasonable, it is normal to think about his brothers in the world, even Yan Jun will grant this kind of request, he is not a judge who is better than Yan Jun.

Ma Mingde saw that Guan Gao was silent for a long time, so he said: "If the judge feels embarrassed, then forget it." ”

Guan Gaoqiang endured the heartache and said, "Don't be embarrassed, it's also the right thing to look at your family again." When you enter the Lin Mansion, you will say goodbye to the world and go and see it again. ”

Ma Mingde thanked Guan Gao and followed a group of ghost soldiers to Ma's house.

Since Ma Yuan made meritorious contributions to the marquis, and then died and was attacked by the courtiers, his family has fallen in the middle. Then Ma Mingde and his two sisters were sent to the prince, and Liu Xiu gave it to the prince and became the crown princess, and then to the queen, and then to the queen mother. The Ma family can be regarded as having gone through the wind and rain and enjoyed wealth and prosperity.

Ma Mingde reluctantly walked around the Ma family's house, not missing a single brick or tile. She looks very carefully, and the people she has lost tend to cherish even more.

Ma Mingde is a smart woman who understands the truth of cherishing. In addition to cherishing, she also knows what it means to be giving. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to take scriptures from the West and carry Buddha statues, but he did not dabble too much in Buddhism, but she was the queen, Buddhism is a good knowledge, and she specially persuaded people to let go. That's good, the underworld needs those ghosts to learn to let go. If you can let go, you won't do anything, and the ghost who doesn't make trouble is the best ghost!

Guan Gao took Ma Mingde to Lin Mansion and sent him to the judge's public house according to custom. On the way, he talked about the current situation of some prefectures, which was much better than treating Liu Zhuang.

When Ma Mingde came out of the judge's mansion, he only felt like a world away. From the human world to the underworld, isn't it the gap between the two worlds!

Ma Yuan came to pick up his daughter, he lives in Yanjun City now, and it is more convenient for the judge's mansion to notify him, and it is too far to run to the pasture. Ma Yuan was very happy to see his daughter, Liu Xiu deprived him of the glory of the previous hundred battles after his death out of imperial thinking, if it weren't for his daughter's strong support for the inner mansion and entered the East Palace, I am afraid that the family business would have been ruined long ago.

He is a very successful general, and General Fubo's name has always been rumored in the world, but he is not a successful official, so that he has offended many colleagues, including Liu Xiu's two sons-in-law, Liang Song and Dou Gu. So much so that after dying of illness on the way out, he was attacked by a group.

Ma Yuan complained a little about Liu Xiu, complaining that the emperor would be suspicious of an old courtier like him, and complaining that the emperor did not take care of the orphans and widows he left in the world.

What loving father would be willing to send his daughter to the royal family? Except for those ambitious ministers, no one really wants to marry the royal family, that is a bottomless pit, some countless open and secret fights. Ma Yuan is not a politically ambitious person, his ambitions are all in making achievements and on the battlefield. He was one of the most reluctant to send his daughter to the royal family. The family affairs he set for his three daughters before his death were all similar to the Ma family's own waiting family, but he didn't expect to be left behind after his death, and none of them were willing to fulfill the marriage contract, so that the three daughters entered the palace for the glory of the family.

Ma Yuan imagined how much his daughter had suffered in the palace and how many risks she had faced. Holding his daughter tightly, Ma Yuan said softly: "Mingde, it is the father who is incompetent, and your sisters are suffering, and the father is sorry for you." ”

Ma Mingde didn't expect to see his father when he came out, and he didn't expect his father Ruci to be excited.

He gently patted his father's back with his hand and comforted: "Father has said it, the palace is not as bitter as people think, His Majesty Xiaoming is very good to me, and the Queen Mother Yin is also very good to me." ”

Ma Yuan said: "You don't have to say good things for them, how can the royal family be affectionate." The relationship between the world is not recognized by the underworld, and now that you are dead, you have nothing to do with the Liu family, and you don't have to wait for those ruthless people anymore. ”

Ma Mingde also wants to defend a few more words, Liu Zhuang is really good to her, since the ancestor Liu Bang, how can there be a childless queen who is not deposed, but can be respected as the queen mother?

It's a pity that Ma Yuan didn't have the idea of listening to it at all, his daughter has paid so much for the family business, she should be treated with the most solemnity, a sumptuous dinner has been prepared at home, and everyone is waiting for him to take Ma Mingde back.

The Ma family can remain rich and noble in the world, all of which are the credit of Ma Mingde!

"Matilda is dead?"

Liu Zhuang was shocked and asked about the ancestor named Liu Zheng in front of him, and Liu Zheng nodded unhappily. He is now fully responsible for the intelligence work of the Han camp, and his main job is to regularly go to Yanjun City to receive the sacrificial documents burned by the emperor of the world. The date marked in the new memorial text is 12 days ago, detailing the death of the Empress Dowager Ma Mingde, by the way, although the world has not been smooth in recent years, the emperor still wisely solved those troubles, and now everything is still stable.

Liu Zhuang didn't watch the content at all, and the whole ghost was immersed in the death of his wife Ma Mingde. According to the rules of the palace, the interval from the death of the air to the burial should range from seven to fifteen days, and the sacrificial text was burned at the time of the burial, and it has been 12 days since now, that is, Ma Mingde has been dead for at least 19 days.

Liu Zhuang couldn't wait to see his wife, and left Liu Zheng in his room, and a ghost hurried to the horse prison, put on the best horse, and set off to find his wife.

ran out for ten zhang, hurriedly stopped the horse's hooves, turned the horse's head and ran back to his room to find Liu Zheng.

"Emperor Xiaoyuan, how can I find Mingde?"

Liu Zheng looked at Liu Zhuang who looked anxious on the horse, and said: "I don't have any way, you might as well go to the Yan Jun Palace to ask for your Yan Jun guidance, in the underworld, there is no one who Yan Jun can't find." ”

Liu Zhuang hurriedly thanked him, turned his horse and left. Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he and Wang Zhengjun did not have such a deep relationship. What he has always remembered in his heart is Sima Liangyi when he was the prince, but unfortunately Sima Liangyi died early and was reincarnated early in the underworld. Many people associated with the royal family will choose to reincarnate earlier rather than wait for the yin life to run out. The emperor is probably the most terrifying creature in the world, and the one that people are most reluctant to touch.

When Liu Zhuang was still on the road, Ma Yuan had already entered the Yan Jun Hall before him and made his own request.

The Boss was squinting at the point of view of whether to say yes. "Do you want Yan Jun to keep the whereabouts of your daughter Ma Mingde a secret, even to her husband Liu Zhuang in the world?"

Ma Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, when the woman was in the world, she had suffered a lot for the continuation of the family business, and now that she is dead, I don't want her to have any contact with the royal family again." ”

Lao Liu said: "You make us very embarrassed like this, what do you mean by your daughter?"

Ma Yuan thought for a while and said, "Mingde, she naturally agrees!"

I waved my hand and said, "This matter is feasible, but it is not up to you to apply, it is up to Ma Mingde to do it himself." All kinds of things in the world are empty when they die. What is empty is not only the love of husband and wife, but also the relationship between father and daughter. You can't represent Ma Mingde, so you can't allow it. ”

"Really, no?" Ma Yuan's thief is not dead.

The eight of us Yan Jun nodded in unison, it must not work! The rules of the underworld are very strict!
