There are still more than 20 days before the midsummer has passed, and under the sky, as long as the sun rises, it will inevitably release its heat to the fullest, baking all things on the earth, without a little partiality.

The high walls are thick and the rules are strict, which restricts the freedom of the palace people, and it seems that the heat of this midsummer is also bound in it. In the summer of the second year of Qianyou, for Emperor Liu Chengyou, it seemed to be extremely hot, and the body and mind were full of dry fire.

In his spare time, Liu Chengyou confided to the chamberlain more than once that he missed the coldness of winter. Of course, before the Huai army last year, on the occasion of the cold winter wax moon, he also said that he would rather enjoy the scorching heat of summer.

Twilight fell, between the palace and the garden, there were already fireflies flying, dancing in the shade of the flower garden, passing by, Liu Chengyou also stopped, enjoyed the scenery of this summer night for a while.

In the Qiuhua Palace, Liu Chengyou entered, did not make a report, and stretched out his hand to signal the inner servant Gong E to silence. Through the bead curtain, you can vaguely see the delicate body on the soft chair, the silhouette undulating......

Gently lifting the curtain and deliberately slowing down, Liu Chengyou approached. His virtuous concubine, the Broken Lady is taking a nap, between her delicate and jade body, she has obviously added a little fat, her breath is gentle, and there is some fine sweat on her forehead and neck.

The body is simply wearing a loose light gauze fine silk, which can even be described as a hood, under the gauze skirt, the dirty clothes and private pants, faintly visible, this hazy sense of temptation, is rarely folded on the lady's side to feel. In the past, only the noble concubine Gao liked to seduce Liu Chengyou like this.

In the face of the beautiful scenery of Jiao Niang, even if her pregnant belly was raised, Liu Chengyou still moved a little shamefully.

Probably because Liu Chengyou's gaze was too penetrating, the lady felt it, woke up slowly, opened her eyes, and was a little confused, and when she saw that it was the emperor standing in front of her, her brain seemed to have finally resumed its operation.

got up and wanted to salute, Liu Chengyou held her down and said softly: "You are pregnant, you don't have to be polite." Furthermore, it doesn't need to be between you and me. ”

Feeling the care of the emperor, the lady smiled lightly, and between her complexions, there was a touch of ruddy, and asked: "Why did the official family come suddenly, and he didn't report it in advance, so as to prepare for the drive." ”

"I'll come to see you, and then look at the prince and princess who I'm about to fall to the ground!" Liu Chengyou naturally put on the round belly with one hand, and gently stroked it, as if he could feel the rhythm of life in the meantime.

was touched by the emperor, and he blushed a little, of course, it could be that the hall was a little stuffy. Looking left and right, Liu Chengyou asked: "The weather is so hot and dry, why don't you add ice cubes to the hall to cool down." ”

Turning his face, Liu Chengyou's eyes became sharp, and his tone was even more displeased, as if he was blaming the palace attendants for not taking good care of Concubine Xian. The servant who was swept by Liu Chengyou responded with sincere fear: "The lady is afraid of the cold of the ice stone, which will affect the noble son in the abdomen, so it is forbidden to add ice!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou turned his head, looked at the folding lady, drew a circle on his stomach with his hand, and said softly: "It's hard!" ”

The lady did not show her delicate and feminine state, she looked calm and strong, and said, "I heard that the official family wants a princess? ”

Liu Chengyou replied relaxedly: "I have a lot of princes, and it's time to add a sister to them......"

During this time, in the Han Palace, in fact, there was constant good news, Concubine Fu Hui and Concubine Gao were also found to be pregnant, and after returning to the dynasty, Liu Chengyou worked hard and sowed seeds, which can be regarded as diligent.

"By the way, the woman has already passed through Luzhou, according to her footsteps, in about three days, you can get to Tokyo!" Liu Chengyou said to the folding lady.

Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but sit up with a big move: "Really? ”

After calming her down and lying down again, Liu Chengyou said, "I have sent someone to greet her!" ”

"I haven't seen my dad in years!" This lady was in a rare mood, and her eyes were red as she spoke.

This was not his intention, and he hurriedly said: "It is precisely because of this that I summoned the woman to Tokyo, so that you father and daughter can meet and express their thoughts. Speaking of which, after all these years, I have never met my wife, and I should have met. This time, let him stay in Tokyo for a while longer......"

Listening to the emperor's words, the lady looked at Liu Chengyou's gaze, which was very warm, and took the initiative to lean into his arms......

and Liu Chengyou's father-in-law folded the German wall, and at the same time was edicted to enter Beijing, as well as Yang Ye and Li Wanchao. However, compared to Yang Ye and Li Wanchao's Mali, who were ordered to go south, Zhe Delan seemed to be holding a little shelf, delaying for a while before leaving, and he was not in a hurry. It's understandable, after all, the big names are always the ones who come out later.

In the fifth year of Qianyou, on June 8, the sun was shining, the Xiangfu post in the west of Kaifeng City, the wide official road, had been occupied, the forbidden army, the patrol soldiers and the Kaifeng Prefecture officials were on guard to maintain order, and each one was distinctive.

The road was occupied, and people inside and outside who wanted to pass from it had to take a detour. However, more people chose to stop and watch and join in the fun, even if they were ruthlessly driven outside the martial law area, they still could not dispel their enthusiasm, and they looked at the periphery, full of interest and discussion.

In front of the pavilion, the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty headed by Li Tao, the prime minister of Zhongshu, waited quietly in the bustle. The standard of greeting is very high, and all the departments and offices of the center are represented.

"Who is this to greet to put on such a battle!" Someone has questions.

"Maybe there are foreign envoys coming to Beijing!" There is speculation.

"There is only Shu in the southwest, and the Han Dynasty has fought evil, and it has only experienced a big defeat, how can it be an envoy?" Someone retorted.

"Send an envoy to sue for peace!" Someone explained.

"Even if it is a Shu envoy, it will not be greeted with such etiquette!" Continue to refute.

......

In fact, when such a battle was put on, the ministers with noble status were greeted, Fengxiang, Changyi, and Baoda. Zhao Hui, Shi Kuangyi, and Yao Yuanfu are the strongest in terms of seniority, fame, and strength among the various festivals in Guanzhong.

Fortunately, after the imperial edict was issued, the three of them, without deliberate delay, took the initiative to unload their military affairs and came to Beijing to meet together. With them, there are more than 300 enemy prisoners of Yushu, who will be selected for teasing, mainly officers, to be used to sacrifice prisoners.

When the three-quarter procession arrived, the ritual music had already played, and Zhao Hui and the three of them got off the carriage and stood side by side. Looking at the auspicious post in front of the auspicious post, under the colorful flags, the officials, soldiers, and people who were waiting, Zhao Hui was slightly upturned in the corner, and said to Yuanfu and Shi Kuangyi: "The court welcomes us with this courtesy, and we are flattered!" ”

Yao Yuanfu was wearing an official uniform that he didn't like very much, and he felt that it was cumbersome, and it was not as light as a military uniform. Hearing this, he laughed: "Don't be self-conscious, I can afford it!" However, the emperor is so generous, and he should also accept his wishes! ”

Next to the two, is Shi Kuangyi, who is younger, but he looks older, but the whole person is a little introverted, quite like a city, hearing the words of the two, the old face is just a shallow smile, and he doesn't say much.

Li Tao is dressed in purple and gold, and he is deeply baptized by power, with a majesty, although he is smiling, he is neither humble nor arrogant. glanced at the three envoys, and arched his hand:

"Under Li Tao, on the orders of His Majesty, I welcome the three envoys to Beijing. His Majesty ordered that this royal horse let the three escort the captives through the Dingding Gate, through the Xuanwu Heavenly Street, to the imperial city to offer prisoners, Your Majesty has come to the city to wait! ”

"There is Lao Li Xianggong!" Zhao Hui took the lead and responded.

Looking out of the crowd, the towering Kaifeng City, a little well-dressed, three years old and nearly two hundred old handsome, boarded the royal horse, with a serious expression, towards Kaifeng, crossed the long street, to the imperial city.

Liu Chengyou did a very good job, personally went to the palace, lowered the interception to welcome, gave the imperial wine, and raised his exploits in breaking the enemy. This attitude moved Zhao Hui and the three of them, and at the same time, they were also a lot more relieved.

In addition to the three marshals of Guanzhong, Liu Chengyou also came to the court, and those who entered Beijing with the edict also included the former Xiangzhou Jiedu An Xianqi, Chengde Jiedu Zhang Yanwei, Cangzhou Jiedu Wang Jing, and Dengzhou Jiedu Liu Chongjin.

With the arrival of Zhao Hui and the three of them in Beijing, a predictable action to dismantle power was gradually unfolded from top to bottom, from the inside out. In this regard, the monarch and the minister are tacit.
