Seeing that he was about to follow the expedition, he had to cancel the decision to follow the expedition because of his health, fortunately, there were not many people who knew about this matter, otherwise it would inevitably attract criticism, but he regretted that he couldn't walk with Ma Yuan this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the night before the expedition, Ma Yuan said to his friend Du Su: "I have received great favors, and I am often afraid that I will not be able to die in state affairs." I get what I want today, and I am willing to look at it, but I am afraid that the elderly's family is either left and right, or engaged in it, which is very difficult to reconcile; The only evil is the ear. ”

Ma Yuan's words reached Liu Zhuang's ears after he left Kyoto, and Liu Zhuang silently decided in his heart to take care of Ma Yuan's mansion in the future, however, sometimes he needs to worry too much, so he often can't help.

This year, Liu Fu married the princess, after several struggles, he finally settled on the woman he liked, and finally lived a life that he thought he felt happy, but when he knew that the princess he cared for was actually carefully cultivated and placed by others to his side, his world seemed to collapse instantly, and he lived a drunken dream of death, and his beloved princess chose to leave the world because she couldn't accept such a change, and left a suicide note to Liu Fu, telling Liu Fu that she was because her father broke the law. In order to seek her father, she had to be controlled by Liu Jing, and approached Liu Fu according to Liu Jing's wishes, from the beginning she was indeed just forced to do so, but later she was indeed deeply in love with Liu Fu, so that she did not continue to hurt Liu Fu from Liu Jing's intentions, so Liu Jing told Liu Fu her details in anger. After Liu Fu, who learned the truth, showed that kind of frustrated look to her, he no longer had the tenderness of the past, even if it was a passerby-like warmth and perfunctory, because he felt very guilty, he had nothing to love, and finally chose to hang himself, wishing to live up to his affection in the next life.

Liu Fu was decadent for a long time because of the departure of the princess, but then continued to live as if nothing happened, but it was difficult to hide the emaciation, which made Guo Shengtong quite heartbroken. Guo Shengtong asked to see Liu Xiu shortly thereafter, but Liu Xiu did not answer as always, but Guo Shengtong began a hunger strike in order to see Liu Xiu, and finally let Liu Xiu come.

Guo Shengtong, who had not eaten for three days, was inevitably a little weak, and when she saw Liu Xiu coming, she couldn't get up, so she smiled bitterly at Liu Xiu weakly: "Your Majesty, are you planning to come to see the concubine for the last time?" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong, who had not been seen for a long time and was a lot haggard, and felt quite uncomfortable, but thinking of what Guo Shengtong had done, he opened his eyes and said to Guo Shengtong: "If you could have kept to yourself earlier, why would you be today." ”

Guo Shengtong smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes and whispered: "How can the concubine be willing, but she can't help herself." In the past, in order to avoid being reduced to a sword, His Majesty let others be fleshed, so why didn't he involuntarily push himself and others, why did His Majesty blame others? This time, the concubine brazenly begged to see her, just because she was very worried about Jiang'er, Fu'er, etc., and begged His Majesty not to separate her flesh and blood again. ”

Liu Xiu was silent about this for a while, he didn't think about it in his heart, but he had his considerations, he thought that Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong would understand, and after a long time, he said to Guo Shengtong: "I let them leave Luoyang, not only to prevent trouble, but also to take care of them." Why do you bother against it? ”

Guo Shengtong was quite unimpressed by this, she thought that Liu Xiu sent Liu Jiang, Liu Fu and others to leave Luoyang, just to stabilize Liu Zhuang's position as the prince, and she didn't want to make extraneous branches, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, but her face had to show a sad look, and said: "Is it a curse or a blessing, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, why should Your Majesty do it in vain?" If you don't let yourself do something, it will be difficult for the concubine to live, and please ask Your Majesty to see the concubine's hard work in the past, so that the concubine and the princes can live together in the North Palace. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong with a mournful face, although he felt pity, he didn't agree immediately, and only said that he should consider it. After Liu Xiu went back, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't make a decision, so he asked Wanfu to summon Deng Yu into the palace to ask Deng Yu.

Deng Yu believes that the kings are thousands of miles away, but it is not easy to control, so it is relatively safe to return to Luoyang and live under their noses. So he said to Liu Xiu that he agreed to let the kings return to Luoyang together, firstly, to relieve Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong's thoughts, and secondly, to let the kings and princesses cultivate friendship and blind date.

Deng Yu's words were exactly what Liu Xiu thought, so Liu Xiu made a decision immediately.

Twenty-three years after the establishment of the military (47 AD), the kings and the crown prince Liu Zhuang's east palace was opened, Liu Jiang, Liu Fu and other kings returned to Luoyang, and the Empress Dowager Pei Guo Shengtong lived in the north palace.

Since then, the kings have made good guests, competed for reputation, and the kingdoms were opened together, and the official offices were prepared, until the end of the Jianwu, the official offices of the kings of the North Palace entered and exited the palace province, and there was no difference from the hundred bureaucrats. The royal relatives such as Yin Lihua's third brother Xinyang Hou Yin and others, especially know that the five kings Mu Gaoming and seek talents, so they falsely claim to be able to make people come and deceive the five kings of tens of millions of money, which is contemptible.

From the 22nd to the 27th year of Jianwu (46-51 AD), Liu Xiu ordered Liu Kun to teach more than 50 princes, kings and marquis, which laid a solid foundation for the later Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty to open a school for the four surnamed Xiaohou and place the five scripture teachers. Of course, that's another story.

With the return of the kings, the palace seemed to be much more lively. On the face of brothers, friends and brothers, secretly there are indeed waves.

Guo Shengtong felt pity for Liu Fu in his heart, so he bothered to find a step-princess for Liu Fu, Liu Fu Xu understood Guo Shengtong's painstaking efforts, and unexpectedly did not refuse. Fortunately, his choice did not make him regret it again, although he respected his step-princess after marriage, but his step-princess treated her as always, and his cold heart would be warmed one day.

Yin Lihua also knows the inside story of Liu Fu's loss of the princess, although the real cause of Liu Heng's death in the past was not Liu Fu's arsenic, but Liu Fu had murderous intentions towards her after all, so she acquiesced to Liu Jing's actions, but when Liu Fu's former princess hanged herself, Yin Lihua's heart was a little heavy, because Liu Fu's former princess was not guilty, but suffered. Yin Lihua felt guilty because of this, so she didn't interfere with Liu Fu's marriage, and she couldn't tell how she felt about Liu Fu in her heart, after all, the pain she had suffered, Liu Fu has also suffered now, and it can be regarded as a kind of repayment, she no longer seems to be able to blame or even resent Liu Fu for the past. How to treat Liu Fu in the future depends on how Liu Fu chooses and how he behaves.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jianwu (49 A.D., in the spring, the first month, the people outside the Saiwai of Liaodong County invaded the border, and the Taishou priest lured them to surrender. The priest also used his wealth to appease the leader of Xianbei, and asked him to recruit other foreign tribes to surrender to the border one after another. Sai Wei said: "If you want to make meritorious service, Angelica will attack the Huns and behead the head, which is Xin'er." "Why don't you go to attack the Huns, kill more than 2,000 people, and sacrifice your head to the official mansion of Liaodong County. After that, they went to fight the Xiongnu every year, sent heads, and accepted rewards. Since then, the power of the Xiongnu has declined, and there is no longer an alarm of enemy invasion on the border of the Han Dynasty, and Xianbei and Wuhuan entered the court together to pay tribute. He was simple and honest, calm and resolute, and appeased foreigners with grace and faith, so the foreigners were both afraid and loving him, and they worked desperately to the death. Because of his excellent ability to sacrifice Wei, he secretly became the object of contention among the kings, but he and Deng Yu have always been good friends, and in the end, it is natural to be loyal to Liu Zhuang.

Yin Lihua was silent for Deng Yu's contribution again, and at this time she would rather Deng Yu not recover her memory. (To be continued.) )
