It is said that Yin Lihua gave Guo Shengtong a peony painting and asked Yuan Ying to bring some words. www.biquge.info At this time, the painting has reached Guo Shengtong's hands.

Guo Shengtong opened the painting and took a look, she had to admit that Yin Lihua is indeed talented, this painting is really good, and it is really pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Ru on the side commented that Guo Shengtong admired this peony painting, and the words that were originally unspeakable were now unspeakable, and she hurriedly said to Guo Shengtong: "Queen, the Yin nobles not only sent the paintings, but also let people bring words." ”

Guo Shengtong looked at Zhou Ruyi: "What do you say?" ”

Zhou Ruyi immediately truthfully conveyed Yin Lihua's words to Guo Shengtong.

After Guo Shengtong heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, and there was a hideous appearance, and he grabbed the painting scroll fiercely with both hands.

After Zhou Ruyi said the words, his heart was a lot more relaxed, and when he saw Guo Shengtong angry, he hurriedly comforted: "The queen is angry, if you are angry, isn't it right for that person." ”

When Guo Shengtong heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and slowly calmed down. At this moment, Guo Shengtong couldn't help but think that Yin Lihua was really good.

She thought about it, and suddenly a thought came to her, and when she thought about it, she felt more and more wonderful, and she would repay the other with her own plan to see who was better. So, Guo Shengtong put the peony painting in his hand into Zhou Ruyi's hand, and then ordered: "Grinding ink, this palace wants to give a return gift to the Yin nobles." ”

In view of Yin Lihua's good painters, Guo Shengtong is unwilling to be left behind. Therefore, she was extremely serious about painting, and ordered that she should not be disturbed without her summons. In this way, Guo Shengtong even put lunch on hold, and when she finished drawing, she suddenly felt hungry and suddenly remembered the lunch. However, looking at the very pleasing picture of the green pine and white crane in front of her, the feeling of hunger was not uncomfortable at all, and she ordered someone to send the painting to Yin Lihua immediately, and she did not forget to bring some words. After the painting was sent out, Guo Shengtong was in a good mood, and when he had a meal, he felt that the meal was never delicious.

At this time, Yin Lihua was playing the piano to Liu Cang, Liu Zhongli and Liu Jing, and when the palace people came to report that Guo Shengtong had returned the salute, Yin Lihua was surprised, and couldn't help but be curious, so she immediately ordered someone to present it. After Yin Lihua saw it, she couldn't help but admire, she didn't expect Guo Shengtong to have such ability. Appreciation, Yin Lihua also knew in her heart that Guo Shengtong must have something to say, so she asked Qingyu: "Did the queen let someone bring words?" ”

Qingyu understood the deep meaning of Guo Sheng's call, but she believed that it could not hurt her master. So, she replied without hesitation: "The queen said that this green pine and white crane picture is a feedback to the noble peony scene, with the noble peony picture, the queen will be in a good mood every day and prolong her life, and she will be able to enjoy the prosperity of the world and see all the good rivers and mountains." Such a good time, the queen is willing to have a noble person to accompany her, so she gave the noble man this green pine and white crane picture, hoping that the noble person will live a long and healthy life. ”

Yin Lihua listened, smiled lightly, and said: "The queen really has a heart, and this noble person is willing to inherit the queen's noble words." Guo Shengtong wants her to keep looking up and succumbing to it, but she wants to see if Guo Shengtong has the ability to go down. Yin Lihua makes people treasure this painting.

After such a small fight, the two did not fight again for the time being. The harem was calm, but this peace was quickly broken, and this was related to Liu Xiu, who was thousands of miles away at this time.

It is said that Liu Xiu led the army to relieve the difficulty of Luoyang, and after setting up a banquet to reward the army, Wang Zun, who had abandoned Kui Huan and returned to Han, persuaded Liu Xiu to surrender Kui Huan's general Niu Han. Niu Han is a loud and powerful general, and once he returns to Han, people's hearts are stirred. As a result, thirteen generals, sixteen counties, and 100,000 soldiers, all surrendered. However, there were many treacherous and treacherous people among them, they had to enter the Han camp, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Liu Xiu, fortunately Wen Xu, the lieutenant in charge of the vigilance at the time, was uninjured in time to protect him, and Wen Xu was seriously injured. Liu Xiuzi was quite grateful to Wen Xu, which was also the main factor that made him make such a decision later.

Let's go on. In June of the eighth year of Jianwu (32 AD), after the Han soldiers lifted the siege of Lüyang, the main force of Kui Huan was basically eliminated. Kui Huan had no choice but to flee to Xicheng with his wife and children, attached himself to the general Yang Guang, and sent Wang Yuan to Shu for help.

At this time, Liu Xiu, who was fortunate to be in Shangqi, said to Kui, saying: If you tie up your hands, father and son will see each other, and nothing will happen. Gao Diyun: "Henglai, the big king, the small marquis." "If you want to be a Qianbu, you can also do it yourself.

However, Kui Huan still refused to surrender, and Liu Xiu ordered Yousi to kill Kui Huan.

Tiger poison does not eat children, and Kui Huan even ignores his own flesh and bones, how cruel is it. Although everyone did not speak, they were all cold.

Liu Xiu then dispatched troops and horses to attack Kui Huan in the west, and then issued an edict to Dou Rong and the five counties to be knighted, and the knighthood was completed, and Dou Rong and others were sent back to the west and returned to the west of the town.

Dou Rongchengyue surrendered to Liu Xiu, and after returning back, he loyally guarded Hexi, and carried the baggage for the army, which was very important, so I will not say anything more here.

Seeing that the war is progressing smoothly. However, in August, when Liu Xiu was waiting to calm down the hustle and bustle, Li Tong, the great Sikong who stayed in the imperial capital, passed on the feather book: Yingchuan thieves captured the county, Hedong Taishou also rebelled, and Luoyang was in turmoil.

Liu Xiu held the feather book in his hand and said to Kou Sui with a sigh: "I regret not listening to Guo Xian's words, so that this is the case." Yingchuan is approaching the Beijing Division, and only Qing is going in person, so it is urgent to quell the rebellion. ”

Kou Sui was originally the Taishou of Hanoi, returned to Yingchuan Taishou, and then moved to Runan Taishou. Repair the township school, teach Confucianism, and the county is quiet and quiet, so Liu Xiu conquered Kui Huan and made him drive from the car as the executive Jinwu.

Kou Sui listened to what Liu Xiu said, and immediately replied: "The folk customs of Yingchuan have always been competitive, and I heard that Your Majesty is involved in dangers and obstacles, and there is something to do in Longshu, and he has been stranded for a long time, so the thieves confuse the crowd and take advantage of the chaos to make trouble. Once you hear that Your Majesty is going south, you will inevitably die in fear, how dare you disobey? The minister is willing to be the forerunner of the execution. ”

So, Liu Xiu ordered Kou Sui to be the vanguard, and personally led the soldiers and horses to the south, galloping from the morning and night to Yingchuan. The thief really begged to surrender, and he was punished if he asked for it. Kou ordered the law to be enforced, killed the first evil, and pardoned the rest. The officials and people in the county, helping the old and the young, covering the road to welcome Kou Sui, went to Liu Xiu's car and bowed: "I am willing to borrow Kou Jun for another year from Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xiuzi obeyed the will of the people, stayed in the Changshe for the time being, and led the Yulin army to return. Unexpectedly, before they arrived at Nangong, an alarm came again, and thieves from Dongjun and Jiyin rose up, attacking the city and looting, and the place was in chaos. Liu Xiu then sent the great Sikong Li Tong to lead the troops to encircle and suppress. Subsequently, Yingchuan was quickly pacified by Kou Sui to win the hearts of the people of Yingchuan, and Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of Geng Chun, who has always been known for his prestige and also won the hearts of the people of Dongjun. Dongjun is the outer capital of the imperial capital, and Qingning must be kept. Therefore, Liu Xiu immediately issued an edict and sent an envoy to pay homage to Geng Chun, the Marquis of Dongguang who was in Yedi at the time, as the Taizhong Taifu, so that he could go to Dongjun with the army.

When the officials of Dongjun heard that Geng Chun was coming, they all ran to tell each other. Nine thousand thieves, all of whom abandoned their flesh, knelt down in front of Geng Chun, and the army returned without a fight.

After Liu Xiu heard about it, he immediately passed the edict in the seal, and then worshiped Geng Chun as the Taishou of Dongjun. After these two rebellions, Liu Xiu deeply felt the importance of the official virtuous.

Yingchuan and Dongjun have been peaceful, but Liu Xiu, who is in Luoyang, is in the battlefield of Longxi. When Wu Han and Cen Peng struggled to attack Xicheng, but Kui Huan ran Longyou for many years, Xicheng was strong, and the moon did not fall. In the long run, he issued an edict to Wu Han and said: The soldiers of the counties are sitting on food, and if they flee, they will be frustrated by the hearts of the people, and it is advisable to stop it. It means that Wu Han will be sent back to the winning pawn, leaving only the elite.

However, at this time, Wu Han found out that Yang Guang, the defender of the city, had died of illness and was about to attack Kuihuan with all his might, so he made it clear to Liu Xiu that he would not send weak troops back to Luoyang, and stepped up the siege day and night.

One day, Wang Jie, the general who was guarding the city, ascended the city and shouted: "Listen to the Han army, we will defend the city for King Kui, and we will die without two hearts." May the generals retreat quickly, and I will kill myself to make the will. As he spoke, he killed himself. Obviously, on the day the city is broken, there will be a fierce battle, and the Han army will palpitate and lose their fighting spirit.

Wu Han knew that he couldn't go on like this, and thought that the valley water flowed from west to east and went down through Xicheng. So Wu Han and Cen Peng divided their troops, packed the soil with the sac, built a levee, and attacked the west city with water, day and night, so that the soldiers were tired and the food was decreasing day by day, so the desertion and flight gradually increased, and the army's spirit became more and more slack.

After holding each other for a few days, the generals Wang Yuan, Xingxun and Zhou Zong led the Shu soldiers who came from Gongsun Shu and suddenly killed them from the mountain.

The Han army was caught off guard, and before it could be defended, it lacked food and was frightened, and the Han army had to retreat.

The Han army was defeated and retreated, and many soldiers were captured, among which Wen Xu, who had not recovered from serious injuries, and Wang Zhong, who was engaged in it, fell into the battle and was captured by the Kui Huan general Gou Yu and forced to surrender.

Wen Xu scolded: "I am a courtier of the Han family, how dare I coerce the Han general?" Holding the Han Festival in his hand, he forced Gou Yu to look at him.

Gou Yu's subordinates moved forward one after another, wanting to kill Wen Xu.

Wen Xu's face still did not change, and he said calmly: "How can you let the thief kill me and tarnish my name." As he spoke, he snatched a sword and committed suicide.

Gou Yu admired Wen Xu's integrity, and ordered Wang Zhong to collect his bones and send them back to Luoyang.

Liu Xiu saw Wen Xu's bones, and then learned of Wen Xu's integrity, he was heartbroken, gave the cemetery to bury Wen Xu, and summoned his son, and then placed his son in the palace, saying that he was selected to be the prince's companion, but Wen Xu's child was only four years old, and he loved to be close to Mrs. Wen since he was a child, and he cried endlessly, and no one could comfort him. Liu Xiu had no choice but to summon Yin Lihua, who had just given birth to the ninth prince Liu Heng. However, Yin Lihua was just as powerless.

Yin Lihua suggested summoning Mrs. Wen into the palace and bringing Wen Xu Xiao'er back, but Liu Xiu could only agree. So, Yin Lihua took Wen Xu'er back to the West Palace and waited for Mrs. Wen's arrival.

Mrs. Wen came, and finally coaxed Wen Xu'er well. Knowing that Xiao'er could go back to the house with him, he was overjoyed, and after hurriedly thanking him, he took Xiao'er back from the palace, as if he was afraid that Yin Lihua would suddenly change her mind.
