Chapter 422: Skirts
Probably stimulated by Cui Keyin's personal supper, the ministers no longer had the heart to show their talents, and the court meeting ended less than a quarter of an hour after Cui Keyin left. Zhou Kang was temporarily detained, and the ministers dispersed to return to the account.
When the courtiers were arguing endlessly, the courtiers who were responsible for receiving the city and counting the prisoners of war were already busy, but they did not affect the serious business.
Zhou Kang surrendered, and the more than ten cities occupied by him naturally returned to the imperial court, and Tang Tianzheng had already played Zhou Heng and sent people to receive it, and the new county will arrive soon. Officials who sacrificed their lives for the country will be posthumously sealed after examination, and meritorious personnel will be sealed, which is very cumbersome, and they have their own civil officials to handle it.
After Yiyang was cleaned up, Tang Tianzheng led hundreds of civil and military officials to respectfully invite the holy car into the city. Zhou Heng sent Huanxi into the Yiyang Yamen to see it, and reported that it was a little dilapidated, so he only brought Cui Keyin into the city to appease the people, and did not stay in the city.
Although many people did not die, many houses were still in ruins, and many people became poor from well-off homes. Zhou Kang was a person who could not restrain the soldiers, and the soldiers sometimes robbed and plundered in the city, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I heard that when the emperor led a large army to the city, many people were so happy that they recited the Buddha, and listening to the sound of artillery fire under the city was like listening to the sky. After the news of Zhou Kang's surrender came out, the people cheered and shook the sky.
At this time, they spontaneously swept the streets and respectfully knelt down to welcome the emperor beside the road.
Cui Keyin walked all the way, and saw that most of the people were hungry and ragged, so she couldn't help frowning, what did Zhou Kang do to the people. Zhou Heng frowned when he saw her, and his hand tightened tightly.
The people had long been kneeling beside the road, how could they dare to look up and glance at the emperor and queen who were high above? Therefore, the two held hands, but no people saw them. And the palace attendants who accompanied them were accustomed to it.
A little girl of five or six years old looked at the dazzlingly beautiful floor-length skirt walking slowly. As she got closer, her heart beat faster and faster. She has never seen such a beautiful dress when she is so big, and it is a hundred times more beautiful than the skirt of the young lady who met her in the New Year.
The desire to touch the skirt became stronger and stronger, and the little girl's eyes glowed like wolves, staring at the beautiful long dress that was almost in front of her.
Cui Keyin was also looking at the people kneeling in front of him, no matter how small the war was, it would still cause irreparable losses to the people.
These people who stayed to guard the city and endure the war did not go out to flee, or they had a deep love for their homeland and did not want to leave; Or they didn't have time to leave, so they had to stay. Whatever the reason to stay. In short, it is to live and die with the city. Cui Keyin looked at them with pity.
A little girl burst out. Rushed towards Cui Keyin, who was two or three steps away. It happened suddenly, and the courtiers who accompanied him couldn't react. The Imperial Sergeant reacted extremely quickly, and the two closest people soared into the air and pounced.
Zhou Heng picked up Cui Keyin's hand. Quickly retreat.
The little girl got her courage somewhere. Ran out of the road like a little leopard. When he arrived in front of Cui Keyin, he lost her trace, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Her mother knelt beside her. Thinking that her daughter has always been well-behaved, she didn't pay attention to her after letting her kneel down together, but just lowered her head tremblingly. The person in front of her is the emperor and queen, she has cultivated ten lifetimes of virtue to be so close to the emperor, right? She was smiling and thinking slightly, when suddenly a small figure ran out of her side, and then someone shouted, "Who? Then the choking of the sword from its sheath continued.
She was stunned to see that her daughter was nowhere to be seen. She was shocked, but she didn't dare to speak up because the holy driver was in front of her, but her eyes were full of tears, this child was still here just now, why is it gone?
In front of her was the Emperor and Empress who were about to walk towards the Pure Road, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
A long skirt of water shadow red densely woven gold thread acacia stopped in front of her, and a gentle voice said, "Are you the mother of the child?" ”
She looked up, and a beautiful and noble girl like a fairy stood in front of her with a smile, holding her daughter in her arms, and her daughter beckoned to her with a smile and said, "Mother." ”
The attendants who were on the verge of a great enemy were relieved when they saw that it was a little girl. The official in charge of cleaning up Yiyang City wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he said, Well, the remnants of the King of Chu should be imprisoned, and those who should be executed have been dealt with, how can there be assassins, so scared that he almost peed his pants.
Cui Keyin saw that the little girl was looking at her with a pair of big eyes, and she was not afraid of life, so she let go of Zhou Heng's hand, walked over, and squatted down in front of her.
The little girl also squatted down, and her little hand carefully touched her skirt with admiration.
This kid. Cui Keyin smiled, ignoring the few holes in the little girl's clothes, and picked her up.
Zhou Heng also smiled.
Just when the little girl rushed out, Huanxi suddenly felt very cold, as if the temperature had dropped suddenly, until Zhou Heng smiled and felt that the cold was gone.
Cui Keyin motioned for the little girl's mother to get up, and the little girl's mother whispered, "The women don't dare." ”
This girl who is as beautiful as a fairy and extremely noble in her every move is the queen mother, right? Did she see the true face of the queen? The little girl's mother was so happy that she almost fainted.
"Mother, Mother's dress is so beautiful." The little girl heard her mother say this morning that she was going to welcome the emperor and the queen into the city, and she always remembered it, and then she showed off to her mother: "I have touched it, it is so slippery." ”
The little girl's mother opened her mouth wide in fright, and her daughter actually went to touch the queen's skirt?
The people who heard it next to them also opened their mouths wide, and they were all stunned. They really wanted to look up and see what the queen lady looked like.
Although they didn't dare and couldn't raise their heads, fortunately, the queen's gentle and beautiful voice still came into their ears, which was the best voice they had ever heard in their lives: "Don't be afraid." We have no ill will. How many people are in your family, and is there enough food to eat? ”
The queen told them not to be afraid! Before the little girl's mother could answer, the people next to her had already cheered from the bottom of their hearts: "Niang Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
The cheers spread out and resounded throughout the street.
Cui Keyin looked back at Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng looked at her gently.
Put the little girl down and let her return to her mother, Cui Keyin waited for the cheers to stop for a while, and said loudly: "The king of Chu rebelled, and gave you irreparable losses in rebellion, and the emperor will order to open a warehouse and release grain." Don't worry, the emperor will not ignore you, and will definitely help you get through this winter. ”
A fat old man in the crowd was Li Zheng, rushing to cheer: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
As a result, there was a cry of "Long live the emperor, long live, long live" everywhere.
Most of the valuable things in the people's homes have been robbed by the rebels, and they are worried that they will not know how to survive the cold winter, as long as they survive the cold winter, the land will be cultivated in the next spring, and there will be food. Cui Keyin's promise went to their worries, how did they not like it? (To be continued.) )
