CHAPTER XXXVII

Although Liu Xiu did not pursue Yin Lihua's dystocia, he went to Changqiu Palace to warn Guo Shengtong for this reason, and he said to Guo Shengtong with a serious face: "I don't care if this Yin nobleman's dystocia is an accident or man-made, I am not to blame in the past, but I will not make an example." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since you have been established as the queen and Qiang'er as the prince, I have never thought of changing, but if you have done something that hurts heaven and reason, you are virtuous as a woman, and I get the evidence, then don't blame me for being unkind. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Guo Shengtong was flustered about this at first, but he was only happy in his heart. Liu Xiu was obviously suspicious of her, but she didn't pursue it, she thought that this was Liu Xiu's favoritism to her, how could she be unhappy. Thinking of Liu Xiu saying that she had never wanted to shake her position, she couldn't help but be even more happy, at this moment, her heart was happy, even if Yin Lihua's matter failed, she no longer cared. For this reason, she thought that Liu Xiu was not only righteous to her, but also affectionate, and this affection seemed to be more important than Yin Lihua. So, she thought that the reason why Liu Xiu loved Yin Lihua so much was that in addition to the great usefulness of the Yin family, it was also Liu Xiu's guilt for Yin Lihua, and the more she thought about it, the more determined she became, which made her overjoyed. As for Liu Xiu's so-called warning, she didn't take it to heart at all, first, she knew how she came to be in the back position, how could she not be cautious in doing things, she would not leave any handle for others, and secondly, she didn't think that Liu Xiu was saying what was in her heart, she thought that Liu Xiu was just afraid that she would provoke the anger of the public, so she would have to deal with it like that at that time.

If Liu Xiu knew what Guo Shengtong was thinking at this time, he would probably be mad. He didn't pursue it, just thinking that he was afraid that after knowing the truth of the matter, he would even have the heart to kill Guo Shengtong, but he couldn't kill Guo Shengtong, at least not now. If he knows the truth and does nothing, he is only afraid that he will have no face to face Yin Lihua. In order to avoid falling into such a situation, he chose to escape and deceive himself, although he inevitably felt guilty about Yin Lihua in his heart, but it was better than tearing his face.

Liu Xiu's evasion is not only partiality to her in Guo Shengtong's eyes, but even Liu Huang and Liu Boji think so, they also think that Guo Shengtong is more important than Yin Lihua in Liu Xiu's heart at this time. They were incredulous and unhappy about it.

Liu Boji talked to Li Tong about this matter in private, and it was inevitable that Yin Lihua would be upset.

Li Tong, as a bystander, and an official in the imperial court, naturally saw it more clearly than them. She immediately said to Liu Boji: "Lady, I'm afraid you have all misunderstood Your Majesty." His Majesty did not pursue it, and he had his own difficulties. If His Majesty pursues this matter, he will inevitably dispose of the queen at that time, and the queen is now closely related to the Zhending royal family, and if the disposal is heavy, it will inevitably cause panic and dissatisfaction among the Zhending royal family; If it is light, the Yin family is dissatisfied and does not say it, once the matter is revealed, the queen and the Yin nobles are afraid that they will no longer be as harmonious as they are now, and it is very likely that the bitter ones will still be the Yin nobles. ”

Liu Boji listened carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again, which could be regarded as letting go of a matter of concern, and his mood naturally improved, so he smiled and said: "It's still a smart husband." ”

Li Tong smiled at Liu Boji's praise and said, "It's just that Madame, if you care, it's just messy." The implication is that Liu Boji can actually be as smart as him.

Liu Boji smiled at this: "The concubine found that her husband is becoming more and more eloquent. ”

Li Tong immediately responded: "That's Madame's teaching." ”

When Liu Boji heard this, he really glanced at Li Tong. The couple then flirted and scolded themselves, and they didn't mention it.

After Liu Boji got Li Tong's order, in order to prevent Liu Huang from continuing to think about the left and feeling unhappy, he personally went to Liu Huang's house the next day to tell her Li Tong's opinions.

After Liu Huang heard this, he thought about it and felt that what Li Tong said was really reasonable, so he was relieved about this matter. It's not because Liu Xiu empathizes with Guo Shengtong, then everything is easy to say.

As Yin Lihua, as the party concerned, she was in pain, she was sad, and even she resented, but she had to hide all of this, as always.

Liu Xiu saw Yin Lihua like this, only when Yin Lihua understood him, he was very happy about this, and he didn't say that Yin Lihua was better.

Yes, Yin Lihua understands Liu Xiu, but she understands that it is not the same as Guo Shengtong, Guo Shengtong has harmed her three or four times, this time her life is hanging by a thread but she is unscathed, she can't treat this incident as if it didn't happen, the hardships she has suffered, the pain she has suffered, she remembers it in her heart, and one day, she will definitely pay it back.

And so it passed. And the stable woman who made Yin Lihua difficult to give birth finally contracted the wind cold and passed away quietly, and when Yin Xing's people found it, it was already too late.

At the beginning of August of the second year of Jianwu (26 AD), Yin Lihua gave birth to the eldest princess Liu Yiwang, and in mid-August, Guo Shengtong then gave birth to the second prince Liu Fu. Guo Shengtong first got Liu Xiu's favoritism, and then Wen Yin Lihua had a difficult birth and injured her body, she couldn't get pregnant for a year, she was already smiling every day, and now she has another prince, it is really a spring breeze, this time, Guo Shengtong actually felt that the sky actually favored her.

For the arrival of the second prince, naturally some people are happy and some are worried. Needless to say, the happy people are not to say, and the people who are worried are not only the masters and servants of the West Palace and the Yin family, but there are also people near Kyoto and thousands of miles away.

Let's talk about Kyoto. When I came to see Yin Lihua lose her posterior position, I was unhappy, and then I heard that Yin Lihua was difficult to produce a princess, and Guo Shengtong got the prince again, and I felt even more distressed about Yin Lihua, I wanted to see if Yin Lihua was okay, and I was relieved, but the palace was heavy, even if he entered the palace to see Liu Xiu, he took the opportunity to walk to the front of the West Palace, but he couldn't enter it. Now, he can only learn about Yin Lihua's recent situation through his friendship with Yin Xing, but Yin Xing is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and how can he see it if he wants to. He has always been rational and patient, but when it comes to Yin Lihua, his rationality still exists, but his patience is almost none. He knew that this was wrong, but how could he fight the heartbeat of the past and the dream he had always dreamed of.

Just when these people were immersed in the joys and sorrows of the arrival of the eldest princess and the second prince, Wu Han, who had been appointed by Liu Xiu to decide on the military, led his troops into Nanyang, successively captured Wancheng, Licheng, Qicheng, and Xinye Zhucheng, led troops southward, defeated Qin Feng in Huangshui, and then joined forces with Feng Yi to attack Zhang Wen, the commander of the fifth floor of Changcheng, and broke the rest of the bronze horse and the Wuman tribe in Xin'an City. This was originally a happy event, but Wu Han led his troops out of Luowan City, and many soldiers plundered, and Xinye County was not spared. It happened that Deng Feng, the general of the captivity, returned to his hometown and province, and I don't know whether he was angry at the plundering of the Wu and Han soldiers, or for another reason, in short, Deng Feng gathered in the township and pulled the flag to rebel.

Deng Feng pulled the flag and rebelled, which can be said to be a hundred responses, and immediately raised troops to Shuyang to expel the Han Dynasty defenders left behind by Wu Han. Then, Dong Xin, a native of the same county, responded with troops, attacked Wancheng, and detained Liu Xin, the Taishou of Nanyang.

At that time, General Yanghua was the closest to Wancheng, and when he heard that there was a change, he led his troops to the city overnight, and quietly climbed to the top of the city under the cover of night, killed the guards, and opened the city gate.

In a hurry, Dong Xin didn't have time to respond to the battle, so he fled in rout and stuck to the township.

In this way, the two teams of soldiers and horses could not hold each other.

Military discipline is lax and corrupts major events. The text was transmitted to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was extremely angry, not long ago, Jia Fu's general was killed by Kou Sui for violating military discipline, causing Jia Fu and Kou Sui to lose harmony, and now it is even more outrageous, someone actually rebelled. For this reason, Liu Xiu immediately strictly ordered the sacrifice to comply with the rectification of military law, and worshiped Cen Peng as the general of the southern expedition, and sent troops to recruit Deng Feng and Dong Xin. After arranging all this, it was thoughtful.

That night, Liu Xiu came to the West Palace, and he told Yin Lihua about Deng Feng's rebellion, and his words were full of disappointment with Deng Feng.

Yin Lihua and Deng Feng are relatives, and although the two provinces have contacts in Surili, she and Deng Feng are just nodding friends. It wasn't until Liu Xiu raised troops that Yin Zhi took his family to seek refuge in Deng Feng's army, and the two had a further understanding. At that time, Deng Feng warmly received the Yin family, placed the Yin family in his mansion, not only sent troops to protect them strictly, but also took care of them in life, so that the Yin family could live a peaceful life in the troubled times. It was also during this period that because of Yin Xin's relationship, Yin Lihua and Deng Feng began to further intersect because of chess, and they naturally got to know each other after coming and going. Therefore, with Yin Lihua's understanding of Deng Feng, she didn't believe that Deng Feng was just angry and rebelled because of the corruption of military discipline, she was grateful to Deng Feng for his protection in the past, and she had the feeling of a confidant, she wanted to say a few good words for Deng Feng, but after all, it was a major crime of rebellion, the situation was unknown, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only ask Liu Xiu cautiously: "Will there be another hidden meaning in this matter?" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, she glanced at Yin Lihua meaninglessly, and then said, "I hope." ”

Yin Lihua didn't miss Liu Xiu's slightly scrutinizing gaze, she was very surprised by this, but seeing Liu Xiu's reluctance to say more, she wouldn't be bored. It's just that why Liu Xiu deliberately mentioned Deng Feng's rebellion to her, which is worth thinking about Yin Lihua, but I have to say that Liu Xiu's thoughts, no matter how Yin Lihua ponders, will not think of it.
