In the winter of the twenty-third year of Jianwu (47 AD), the leader of the Wuling barbarians rebelled against Xiang Cheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Eastern Han Dynasty court sent Liu Shang to send more than 10,000 troops to go up the Yuanshui River to Wuxi to carry out a crusade. Liu Shang lightly attacked the enemy and went deep into the barbarian land, and the barbarians invited the battle according to the danger, and Liu Shang's entire army was annihilated. When the text reached Luoyang, the court was shocked.
Ma Yuan, who was 62 years old at the time, asked to go to the court. Liu Xiu did not agree, so Ma Yuan came to Liu Xiu again and said, "The minister can still put on his armor and get on the horse."
Liu Xiu saw that Ma Yuan was so persistent, so he asked Ma Yuan to try his skills in front of him.
Ma Yuan jumped up, and his bravery was as strong as it was back then.
When Liu Xiu saw this, he smiled and said: "Brave general, this Weng is also." He then ordered Ma Yuan to lead Zhonglang to send Geng Shu, Liu Kuang, Sun Yong, etc., to send more than 40,000 people who worked in 12 counties and commuted sentences to expedition to Wuling.
After giving a will, Liu Zhuang then came to Liu Xiu and asked to accompany Ma Yuan on the expedition to Wuling.
Liu Zhuang had asked to go with the army many times before, and he said to Liu Xiu that he hoped to be like Liu Xiu, who could dominate the world, lead the Quartet, govern the country with literature, and the people's aspirations. Although Liu Xiu agreed with Liu Zhuang's ambition, he did not agree due to various considerations, but this time Liu Xiu finally agreed after careful consideration, but asked Liu Zhuang to have a good talk with Yin Lihua.
Liu Zhuang came to Changqiu Palace from his fate and told Yin Lihua about it. Yin Lihua knows that Liu Zhuang has always wanted to go to the battlefield, Liu Xiu has told her of Liu Zhuang's request, Yin Lihua has also thought a lot about this, as Liu Zhuang's mother, she does not want Liu Zhuang to risk herself, but also as a mother, she understands Liu Zhuang, understands Liu Zhuang, she is willing to put aside her selfishness to respect Liu Zhuang's choice and support Liu Zhuang's choice. She said to Liu Zhuang: "The queen mother selfishly does not want you to go on an expedition to take risks, but the man's ambition is in all directions, and Zhuang'er is the prince, and there is a long way to go, and the queen mother can only support your decision as always, but the queen mother wants you to remember that the queen mother does not ask you to have great achievements, but asks you to return safe and sound." ”
Liu Zhuang was moved by Yin Lihua's sincere maternal heart, and he bowed slightly to Yin Lihua.
The matter was decided like this, but it was not announced to the public, and there were only a few people who knew about it for the time being, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and those who want to know still know, such as Jia Liangdi. Jia Liangdi was afraid that Liu Zhuang would encounter an accident on this expedition and never return, she was afraid that she would be forced to become a monk in the imperial temple as others said, and she would be miserable for most of her life, so she drugged Liu Zhuang from what her first-class palace maid said. Fortunately, with Yin Lihua's reminder, she was wary of her first-class palace maid, and did not use the medicine she brought to Liu Zhuang directly, but used the medicine prepared by herself to find the imperial doctor.
Liu Zhuang was inexplicably unwell, Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu naturally attached great importance to it, and soon, Yin Lihua found out the truth of the matter, but for Jia Liangdi's punishment, Yin Lihua handed it over to Liu Zhuang.
Liu Zhuang took into account Jia Liangdi's hard conscience, and only punished Jia Liangdi for being grounded for three months.
At this moment, the news came out in the palace that Liu Zhuang deliberately pretended to be sick and escaped in fear of accompanying the expedition, and Yin Lihua eliminated it silently with lightning speed.
Yin Lihua listed Guo Shengtong's incriminating evidence to Liu Xiu one by one, and said to Liu Xiu with a tough attitude for the first time: "The concubine's patience is limited, and if you hurt the concubine, the concubine still has room for forgiveness, but you must not hurt the concubine's king again, if Uncle Wen insists on protecting each other, the concubine has to be the enemy of Uncle Wen." ”
Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua in disbelief, after seeing Yin Lihua's extremely serious face, Liu Xiu's heart suddenly became heavy, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Jia Guiren's caution this time, Liu Zhuang might have died, Guo Shengtong deliberately hurt Yin Lihua and her children, no matter how tolerant and generous Yin Lihua is, there will be a day when she can't bear it anymore, and this day has finally come. Liu Xiu slowly lowered her head and said to Yin Lihua: "I have no objection to how you want to respond, everything is her own fault." After a moment of silence, he replied: "You know that I don't want to be your enemy in this life or in the next, even if it's just a stranger. Saying that, Liu Xiu slowly raised his head to look at Yin Lihua, but unexpectedly saw Yin Lihua who was already in tears, he hurriedly stood up and came to Yin Lihua.
Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu with teary eyes and said: "How can the concubine be willing to be an enemy of Uncle Wen, but the concubine has lost Heng'er, and she can't lose any of them anymore, otherwise, the concubine will not be able to stand it." ”
Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua with a heartbroken look, and felt quite uncomfortable, she gently hugged Yin Lihua into her arms, and said to Yin Lihua with pity and guilt: "I know, don't worry, for you, I will make them all well." ”
When Yin Lihua heard this, she was silent, put her hands around Liu Xiu's waist, leaned on Liu Xiu's shoulder and cried sadly.
The next day, Yin Lihua came to the North Palace where Guo Shengtong was, she looked at Guo Shengtong coldly and said: "The Queen Mother of Zhongshan is really quite capable, but unfortunately after all, she is a bad move, and she regrets it now." ”
Guo Shengtong now doesn't say secret words to Yin Li Huaming, she smiled and calmly replied: "Success or failure is a common thing in soldiers, why have many regrets, after all, the future is long." ”
Yin Lihua sneered at this, and then said: "The Queen Mother of Zhongshan is really courageous, even if she is alone, she can speak so arrogantly, which makes the palace very admired, but the palace is extremely curious, the Queen Mother of Zhongshan is fighting alone, has she never felt lonely, even sad?" ”
When Guo Shengtong heard this, her banner suddenly changed color, the smile and calmness on her face suddenly disappeared, she looked at Yin Lihua, and said coldly: "One day, I will let you taste it and know what it tastes like, I hope I won't let you wait too long." ”
Yin Lihua couldn't help but smile when she saw Guo Shengtong, who was no longer calm, and said to Guo Shengtong with a smile: "This palace is waiting." After that, she turned around and was about to leave, when she turned around, she saw Zhou Ruyi on the side, Yin Lihua suddenly thought about it, she smiled, praised Zhou Ruyi and said: "You have performed well this time, and the palace is very satisfied with you." With that, he left.
Zhou Ruyi first looked at Yin Lihua with a frightened face, then at Guo Shengtong with a panicked face, and hurriedly said: "The slave did not betray you, this is the queen's plan to divide the world, don't believe it." ”
Guo Shengtong looked at Zhou Ruyi coldly for a while, retracted his gaze, and then turned his gaze to Yin Lihua and his party, who were gradually moving away, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, she said to Zhou Ruyi: "The only people who can believe in this palace now are you and Mama, if you don't even believe it, this palace will really become a loner." You go in a hurry, Hongu wants to be alone. ”
Although Zhou Ruyi didn't know if Guo Shengtong really didn't doubt her at all, she still retreated gratefully and respectfully.
After Zhou Ruyi left, Guo Shengtong began to be silently sad, she couldn't remember when Liu Xiu saw her last time, and she couldn't remember when she last saw her children, not to mention Guo Guo and Guo's mother, she didn't miss it, she just wanted to see but couldn't see it, she was so scheming now that she still didn't give up dealing with Yin Lihua, just because she didn't want to grow old silently, die, and no one cared. Regardless of whether things succeed or fail, as long as they are not forgotten, it is another kind of success for her, and of course, if she can win everything back, it is the best thing.
