It is said that Liu Xiu led the army to march in person, and at this time he came to Qiyi, which is the right to support the wind. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, the generals have said: The king is important, and it is not appropriate to get involved. Liu Xiu hesitated for this and urgently summoned horse reinforcements.

Ma Yuan received the edict, and immediately came with a whip, wearing the stars and the moon, and asked to see him overnight.

When Liu Xiu heard that Ma Yuan was coming, he was overjoyed, and immediately put on his clothes and got up, so that the guard captain was introduced into the inner room, talked about the group discussion, and asked about countermeasures.

At that time, Ma Yuan's department was active in the Longyou area, and he knew the internal situation of Kui Huan well. He refuted the public opinion and expressed his opinion, and said to Liu Xiu: "The arrogant general has the tendency of collapse, and the army will be broken." After that, Ma Yuan gathered rice in front of Liu Xiu for a map, showing the terrain of mountains and rivers, pointing to the situation, showing the troops to come and go from the road, pointing out the main roads for soldiers and horses to advance and retreat, analyzing the twists and turns, and making it clear at a glance.

After Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes flashed with a jumping light and said, "The thief is already in my eyes." In this way, Liu Xiu was determined to continue the westward expedition, and ordered Ma Yuan to be the vanguard, waving his army in a hurry, passing through Changwu in Qi County, and entering the first city of Gaoping.

When Dou Rong heard the news, he immediately led the five county Taishou and the Qiangyu Xiaoyue clan to meet with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Before the meeting, Dou Rong first sent to engage in the etiquette of the meeting, and then led the army to go, carrying more than 5,000 chariots.

Liu Xiu heard that Dou Rong would greet the teacher first, so he admired Dou Rong very much. So, set up a wine meeting, introduced Dou Rong to the hundred officials, treated him with special gifts, worshiped Dou You as the captain of Fengche, and from his younger brother Dou Shi to Taizhong Taifu, all over the army, and attacked together.

The Han army was menacing and overwhelming, causing the Kui Huan soldiers to be defeated one after another. Kui Huan hurriedly withdrew his troops from Luoyang and retired to Tianshui. And the Shu generals Li Yu and Tian Yi also hurriedly led their troops back and surrendered to Shangqi.

When the Han army entered the city of Luoyang, Liu Xiu immediately put on a feast, rewarded the soldiers, and gave a special seat because of the meritorious service of attacking and defending, ranking first among the generals. The banquet was over, and Liu Xiu ordered Mrs. She to give her a thousand horses.

The order was sent back to the imperial capital, and Guo Shengtong took it seriously.

Mrs. Lai She was rewarded by the palace and reminded by the eunuch, how dare she disobey, and the next day she entered the palace to see Guo Shengtong to thank her.

Guo Shengtong was very kind to Mrs. Laishe, and then attracted Mrs. She to talk about the recent situation of Mrs. She as always.

Mrs. Lai She told her for the first time, but after going back to tell Lai She, she was displeased, and later Lai She told her that Guo Shengtong was so unreasonable, and he must have ulterior motives, so she was cautious in the future. She has always been obedient to her husband, and this matter is no exception. So this time she also said something inconsequential.

Guo Shengtong saw that there was no inappropriate information about Mrs. She's coming this time as she said last time, which made her feel a little more relieved. She thought, after all, Laishe has always been deeply relied on by Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu's plans to come to She know to some extent, and as his wife, Guo Shengtong thought that she would not be unaware, even if she was allowed to peep a little unusual, she would be prepared early. Now, what Mrs. Laishu said twice in a row was nothing wrong, and she couldn't help but think that maybe she had thought too much.

Mrs. Lai She's entry into the palace to thank her, how could Yin Lihua not know. She could probably guess Guo Shengtong's intentions, Guo Shengtong's foresight made Yin Lihua appreciate, but she didn't think so. Yin Lihua believes that if Liu Xiu really wants to deal with Guo Shengtong, it will not be because of Liu Xiu's love for her, nor because of her actions, it is very likely that Guo Shengtong has been cocooning himself. Therefore, Yin Lihua did not act rashly now, and let Guo Shengtong toss as much as he wants.

In fact, Guo Shengtong is willing to be so troubled and suspicious, she has always been used to fighting for it on her own, and if it is not easy to win, who can easily give it up? She has never had someone she can rely on wholeheartedly, unlike Yin Lihua, who has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and has never lost her favor, so she does not have Yin Lihua as calm and calm in her bones, and naturally she will inevitably suffer from gains and losses and do some unwise things. Fortunately, he has always been clever in his means, and he has never given anyone a handle. However, there is one thing that has always haunted her, and that is related to the crown prince Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang has been close to her since he was poisoned, and he is not close to Liu Fu, Liu Li, Liu and Liu Kang and other younger brothers and sisters, but he has become more and more harmonious with the masters of the West Palace. Guo Shengtong doubted whether Liu Qiang knew all the details of the incident back then, but she didn't dare to ask Liu Qiang, so she could only euphemistically advise Liu Qiang to distinguish between relatives and distances, and not to lose proportion. But Liu Qiang never seemed to understand, as always. Guo Shengtong can't let Liu Qiang go on like this for a long time. On this day, after Liu Qiang finished studying, he summoned him to Changqiu Palace.

Guo Shengtong retreated from everyone and was alone with Liu Qiang. She asked Liu Qiang: "Qiang'er, tell the queen mother truthfully, why are you not as close to the queen mother and auxiliary brothers as the yin mother and the yang brother, but the queen mother and the auxiliary brothers don't like you, or do you believe the slander of others?" ”

Liu Qiang immediately replied: "The queen mother is too worried, my father made my sons and daughters understand the righteousness of filial piety in the past, and my sons and sons can't disappoint their fathers." Today's sons are already in the period of the year, inheriting the good teachings of the father, the queen mother and the princess for many years, the sons can know the system of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, and can distinguish between right and wrong, so the queen mother does not need to worry too much. ”

After Guo Shengtong heard this, on the one hand, he was relieved and proud of Liu Qiang's excellent answer, but on the other hand, he was inevitably saddened, his son who should have talked to her endlessly was so perfunctory to her, as a mother, how could she not be sad? Obviously, Liu Qiang has made up his mind, and it is useless to say more, but Guo Shengtong has her own insistence. She said: "You don't want to tell the truth to the queen mother, and the queen mother doesn't blame you, but I am your queen mother, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't change this fact." You have to remember that the queen mother is always your queen mother, and it will never be unfavorable to you, so it is better not to be close to the people of the West Palace in the future. ”

Liu Qiang was silent for a while, and Fang Ying said: "Obey what the queen mother said." ”

Guo Sheng informed that if Liu Qiang promised anything, he would not break his promise now, so he was relieved. Thinking that what she had to do next was to make Liu Qiang completely change his mind, she said to Liu Qiang lovingly: "You should be tired after studying for a day, go back and rest early." ”

Liu Qiang replied respectfully: "Thank your mother for your pity, and your son will retire." ”

Guo Shengtong personally sent Liu Qiang away this time, looking at Liu Qiang's small figure in the distance, she regretted for the first time that she had snubbed Liu Qiang because she was close to Yin Lihua when he was seriously ill and not close to herself, so that Yu Meiren and Yin Lihua had an opportunity. When I think about it now, it's stupid. Although it may be a little late to make up for it now, Guo Shengtong still put in twelve points of effort, and her efforts were not in vain.

Liu Qiang really felt Guo Shengtong's sincerity this time, and also felt the real and deep long-lost maternal love, the city wall that he had built in his heart suddenly collapsed and shattered, and he was also willing to listen to Guo Shengtong's words and not be close to the people of the West Palace.

Yuan Ying was a little resentful of Liu Qiang's actions, and she complained to Yin Lihua: "According to the slave maid, the prince is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised. ”

Yin Lihua smiled and said, "If you haven't raised it, how can you get ripe?" ”

When Yuan Ying heard this, she saw that Yin Lihua didn't take it to heart at all, but she suddenly lost her anger and didn't say anything anymore.

Yin Lihua didn't care about it at all, she just didn't care too much. In her opinion, it is not too late for Guo Shengtong to devote himself to the unity of mother and son, but this is not a day's work, she wants to see who can have the last laugh.

Guo Shengtong learned that Liu Qiang had not been to the West Palace since that night, and after being stunned, he called Liu Qiang and said to him: "Don't let you get close to the people of the West Palace, but it is just to make you have a heart to guard against people, not to cut off contacts." After all, you have been with King Yi, Yang'er and others for a long time, and you have your own affection, and if you suddenly break off, you must not feel good in your heart, and it will inevitably appear that you are unsympathetic and irrational, which is not the original intention of the queen mother. ”

What Guo Shengtong said did hit Liu Qiang's mind, he had feelings for Liu Yiwang, Liu Yang and other younger brothers and sisters, but for Guo Shengtong, he gave them up stiffly, and he was indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart. Now that he heard Guo Shengtong say this, he knew that he had misunderstood what Guo Shengtong meant, and he couldn't help but be happy immediately, only to see him ask Guo Shengtong with bright eyes: "What the queen mother said is true?" ”

Guo Shengtong immediately replied with a smile: "I take it seriously." ”

When Liu Qiang heard this, he smiled, and he smiled: "Erchen understands." ”

Guo Shengtong listened and smiled even deeper.

In this way, Liu Qiang resumed contact with the West Palace.

Yin Lihua smiled after learning what Liu Qiang had done.

Mama Liu didn't need Yin Lihua's instructions to tell King Liu Yi and Liu Yang's mother Fu that they should pay more attention in the future and not relax their guard against the prince.

When Mama Liu came back, Yin Lihua asked with a smile: "Mama has already told the two Fu mothers?" ”

Mama Liu replied, "Exactly." ”

Yin Lihua felt that Mama Liu was really getting more and more pleasing to her, but as she relied more and more on Mama Liu, she became more and more worried that Mama Liu would leave one day, after all, she promised Yin Deng that day: If Liu Fang has the intention of leaving, she will definitely fulfill it. "Mama, have you ever thought that one day you will leave the palace to raise yourself?" Yin Lihua couldn't help but say something tentative at this time.

Mama Liu's thoughts about Yin Lihua can be seen from Yin Lihua's more and more respectful attitude towards her in recent years. Over the years, she has long regarded Yin Lihua as her daughter, and she can't wait to accompany her to death, how can she have such thoughts. However, seeing the faint melancholy of Yin Lihua, she suddenly became amused. After deliberately pondering for a long time, Fang replied with a serious face: "This proposal is very good. ”

Yin Lihua knew that Mama Liu had never thought about it, but after she mentioned it, I am afraid that she will be concerned in the future, and she is really cocooned with herself this time.

Mama Liu saw that Yin Lihua's face was full of chagrin, and she couldn't help but laugh. She smiled: "What a stupid girl, just thinking about it." ”

Yin Lihua looked at Mama Liu in astonishment, and then laughed, with tears in her eyes.
