CHAPTER XXV
Having said that, since I saw Yin Lihua's side, I couldn't let go of it in my heart anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Fortunately, Liu Xiu has always been close to him and often summons him privately, so he looks forward to seeing Yin Lihua a few more times. It's a pity that he wanted to see Yin Lihua, but Yin Lihua didn't go in again out of avoidance, and just delivered the meal to the door and went back every time, which made him disappointed again and again. In order to relieve his lovesickness, he listened to Yin Lihua's way of going back and forth, and quietly waited in the dark to finally get his wish. Every time he looked at it, he felt satisfied and could enjoy it for some time. obviously married a wife and had children, but his love was like a hairy boy. The lady who came to She, as his pillow person, noticed his strangeness, but she didn't take it to heart, just thought that her husband, who had never met before, was now happy because of the reuse of the Son of Heaven.
Yin Lihua naturally didn't know about this, at this time, she was busy waiting for Liu Xiu carefully, and at the same time she was busy learning from Mama Liu. I have to say that the previous Yin Lihua is like a king orchid, in the breeze, never in the cave posture, not competing for prosperity and beauty, but now Yin Lihua is like a national peony, with this good color of the city, there is no flower in the world is better than this, the world is more expensive and suitable, the style is thousands, and the elegance is peerless.
After another two months, Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong successively spread the good news that they were pregnant with dragonborns. And from this moment on, the tide of discussion after the establishment was endless. The former dynasty and the harem are all ready to move.
Shortly after Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong were rumored to be pregnant, Hu Zhen fell ill. The doctor said that it was a depression in his heart, and if he could not be channeled again, he was afraid that the medicine stone would be ineffective.
How can a good man become depressed? This still has to start with his sick and weak body, Liu Huang was not in good health when he married him, he could swallow several times a month, but he never conceived a child, Hu Zhen has been looking forward to having an heir to pass on the ancestry, so that he will not face his ancestors in Huangquan when he arrives, but unfortunately he has never been able to do so, and his body is not angry, so he has been holding on to this matter in his heart, and sometimes it is inevitable to be pessimistic, and after a long time, he became ill. This matter of the heir made him haunted, and when he heard that Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong were both pregnant, he was stimulated and fell ill.
These are what Yin Lihua heard from Liu Xiu. At that time, she didn't know what to say, so she simply remained silent. Thinking about Liu Huang in his heart, he asked Liu Xiu to go out of the palace to see Liu Huang and Hu Zhen.
Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, and he decided to go with Yin Lihua. It's just that what they didn't expect was that on the day they went, they ran into Liu Huang giving Hu Zhen a concubine.
Liu Xiu's face was very unhappy at the moment, and when Yin Lihua saw this, she persuaded: "Let's go to the eldest sister first and then make a decision." ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he walked in quickly.
Seeing this, Yin Lihua hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Qingyu hurriedly shouted: "Noble, be careful of the dragonborn in your belly." ”
Liu Xiu in front of him listened, and immediately looked back, and saw Yin Lihua following quickly, her face slower slightly, and then her pace slowed down a lot.
As soon as Liu Xiu saw Liu Huang, she asked, "Eldest sister, what do you want to do?" But was coerced by the Hu family? ”
Liu Huang was stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, and then said with a smile: "Third brother doesn't need to worry about me, all this is my personal idea, and it has nothing to do with the Hu family." Your brother-in-law has always suspected that it was my problem that I failed to conceive a child, and I have always refused to allow him to take a concubine, and he has always complained in his heart. In order to make him die, I had to make this decision, as he wished. ”
Seeing that Liu Huang did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, Liu Xiu did not say anything although he was still unhappy, because he knew that his eldest sister had always been very assertive.
Yin Lihua didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just went over and held Liu Huang's hand.
Liu Huang smiled at this, and instead led them out of the mansion to see Liu Boji.
Back in the palace, Yin Lihua privately talked to Mama Liu about Liu Huang, and couldn't help sighing: "Mama, you know that the eldest sister is the one who is most wronged, why do you have to bear so much?" ”
Mama Liu replied: "The world is like this, and we are helpless. ”
After Yin Lihua heard this, she did not speak.
In the end, Hu Zhen still didn't get her wish, and went without surviving the winter.
Although Liu Huang can't say that he loves Hu Zhen, after all, he has been married for many years, and he is really sad in his heart. Fortunately, Yin Lihua and Liu Boji were relieved from time to time. Soon, Liu Boji became pregnant again, and Liu Boji took the opportunity to hand over her first child to Liu Huang to take care of. With the company of his children, Liu Huang gradually walked out of the pain.
In the first month of the second year of Jianwu (26 AD), it was the time of the Spring Festival, but the imperial capital of Luoyang was as quiet as before.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, Luoyang is either the imperial capital, or the accompanying capital, the city is wide, the palace is carved and painted, the economy is developed, the treasure is rich, but after a long war, the market is depressed, coupled with the robbery of thieves, robbers infested, has already become very chaotic, and the people are full of complaints. Liu Xiu was very worried about this after setting himself the capital, and immediately decided to rectify Luoyang, so that it would prosper again and be popular. In this way, it can stabilize people's hearts. And Liu Xiu handed over this great mission to the servant Shi Dushi.
Du Shi was summoned to pacify the people in Luoyang, restrain the soldiers, and set the rules and regulations. In this way, when the soldiers saw the gold and silver treasures, although their eyes were red, they did not dare to act rashly because of the laws and regulations, but the general Xiao Guang ignored the edict, indulged the soldiers, and tyrannized the villagers, so that the people were terrified, and closed their doors during the day, and the pedestrians in the market were scarce, and it was deserted, and the deep house compound, the shop tiles, and from time to time there were palpitating cries.
After Du Shi learned about it, because of Xiao Guang's position and Liu Liang's subordinate, he just held the edict and strictly declared military discipline in front of Xiao Guang.
Xiao Guang got a lot of benefits from it, and relied on the prince of the clan as a backer, so he didn't want to stop, but he accepted it very kindly in front of Du Shi, but turned around but still went his own way.
Since ancient times, money has been very tempting to people, and those soldiers who have long been eyeing the treasures of Luoyang have been eyeing Xiao Guang so rampantly, just being reprimanded by Du Shi, and there is no big problem, so they have the courage to grab it first. All of a sudden, the people of Luoyang City were even more miserable. The market is depressed, pedestrians are scarce, and even in season, it is deserted.
At this time, Du Shi saw that Xiao Guang had repeatedly taught and did not change, damaging military discipline and corrupting the dynasty, so he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the Yulin Army to Xiao Guang's camp in person, arrested him, and escorted him to Shicao.
However, Du Shi's recital had not yet arrived, but someone came to Liu Xiu first to accuse Du Shi, saying that he abused his power, excluded dissidents, and despised his relatives.
Liu Xiu was furious at the moment, Xiao Guang was a subordinate of his uncle Liu Liang, Liu Liang treated him like a son when he was a child, so even if he ascended to the king of God, he was still as respectful and courteous to Liu Liang as ever, and he was also extremely generous to Liu Liang's subordinates. He didn't expect that Du Shi would dare to behead Xiao Guang like this, and show his head to the public. Liu Xiu didn't say anything at the time, but just ordered Du Shi to be detained.
Not long after, Du Shi was detained. Liu Xiu questioned why Du Shi beheaded Xiao Guang.
Du Shi calmly and truthfully presented.
Liu Xiu listened and looked at the villain.
The villain was not afraid, he said: "The lord relies on General Xiao very much, and General Xiao died suddenly, I don't know how sad the lord is." Even if General Xiao violates the law, he has His Majesty's ruling, but the Imperial History of the Emperor is cut first and then played, obviously not taking Your Majesty in his eyes. ”
Liu Xiu didn't mind Du Shi's first cut and then play this time, but felt that Du Shi's move was very happy, but how to explain it to his uncle was indeed a problem. After thinking about it, he saw Yin Xing on the side, so he asked him: "Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" After bringing Yin Lihua over, Liu Xiu began to let Yin Zhi, Yin Xing and Yin Yu come out, and even brought Yin Xing with him. Asking Yin Xing now, of course, has the meaning of studying him.
Yin Lihua, who was lying on the dragon couch and was woken up early, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard Liu Xiu ask.
I only heard Yin Xing calmly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has heard of Corporal Liu Gonglixian, who is strict with himself, obeys the law and punishes evil and promotes good, which is really a list of the clan." Now Xiao Guang broke the law, violated the people, and damaged the reputation of the imperial court, but I am afraid that Liu Gong will not like it when he learns about it. Now that Xiao Guang has subdued the law, he is also the will of the people, presumably Liu Gongding will not blame the imperial history for this. In the opinion of Wei Chen, His Majesty should reward the imperial history. The servant Yu Shi knows that His Majesty has always been kind to Liu Gong's subordinates, but he still enforces the law impartially, which shows that he is upright and upright, not afraid of power, such a good minister is exactly what His Majesty needs now, congratulations to Your Majesty. ”
After Liu Xiu heard this, he nodded again and again.
When the villain saw the situation, he knew that something was wrong, and wanted to argue again, but he was pulled out and beheaded by Liu Xiu's order. After that, Liu Xiu specially rewarded Du Shi and asked everyone to step down.
After everyone left, Yin Lihua walked out.
Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "Second brother is very good. ”
"That's Your Majesty's skill." Hearing that her second brother was praised by Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua was happy. Seeing her brother being reused one after another, she was actually quite grateful to Liu Xiu in her heart. She vaguely guessed Liu Xiu's intentions, but she was not sure. She came to sit next to Liu Xiu, and began to look at Liu Xiu all the time, thinking a lot.
Liu Xiu looked sideways, saw Yin Lihua looking at herself, and asked with a smile, "Why does Jiaoyue keep looking at her husband?" ”
Yin Lihua immediately replied: "The husband is good-looking. ”
Liu Xiu laughed dumbly.
Yin Lihua smiled, then leaned on Liu Xiu's shoulder and said, "Husband Jun will definitely become a generation of eternal monarchs." ”
What Yin Lihua said is exactly what Liu Xiuhong wants. He knew that Yin Lihua knew him, but he still felt happy when he said it.
The next day, hundreds of officials ascended to the court, and the worship ceremony was completed. Liu Xiu named Du Shi separately and praised him for enforcing the law like a mountain, not avoiding inside and outside, and giving him a special court. The Dynasty, modeled after the axe of ancient times, was a precursor weapon. According to the Han system, only when the prince travels, can he use this honor guard. Du Shi is a servant of the imperial history, not enough official rank, but he won this honor, which shows Liu Xiu's praise for him.
Du Shi calmly thanked him for leaving the court. The gong sounded to open the way, and I saw him sitting on a horse with a solemn expression, slowly parading through Luoyang City. The arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, the people are respectful, and the thieves and robbers all flee when they hear the news. Since then, the imperial capital of Luoyang, in good order, soon prospered.
After Du Shi killed Xiao Guang and cleaned up Luoyang, Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation to patrol the county, deter the soldiers, punish the unjudicial officials, and appease the officials. During this time, Yin Xing was the front and rear horse of Liu Xiu'an, conscientious and dedicated, won his heart, and was appointed as the Yellow Gate Servant, and also served as the Servant of the Period.
In the summer of March, Liu Xiu deliberately proposed to seal the clan in order to delay the establishment of the queen. In April, he named his uncle Liu Liang as the king of Guangyang, his brother Liu Zhang as the king of Taiyuan, Liu Zhang's brother Liu Xing as the king of Lu, and Liu Zhi, the son of the Marquis of Chungling, as the king of Chengyang.
