In Luoyang City in early spring, the warblers are singing and dancing, the warm wind blows away the last trace of cold in winter, the long weeping willows sprout new shoots, and the continuous mountains put on new clothes. The rivers and mountains of Dahan are picturesque, and the scenery is just right.

On the new day, I am rushing to gather. Crowded, shoulder to shoulder, bustling. Excitement and curiosity were written on everyone's faces. It is no wonder that since the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there have been many novelties in the bazaar, including self-produced coarse paper, lacquerware, porcelain, etc., as well as jewelry, spices, glass, etc. from the West.

Suddenly, a ride came from the south, and the people who rushed to the market avoided it. The man rode his horse and raised his whip and kept shouting: "Good news, good news, our army defeated the Huns, Yan Ran Le Shi; Calm down the Commander, open the fortress! When the people heard this, they were all overjoyed, and they applauded one after another, one passed ten, ten spread hundreds, and the entire Luoyang City was boiling and discussed. Someone prepared ox wine, led it to the messenger's horse, and served it diligently. The envoy raised his head and finished drinking, returned the wooden bowl, and said, "Okay, I have to rush to the palace immediately and start the emperor!" Just wait for the emperor's edict to exempt you from forced labor. With that, he waved his whip and ran straight to the palace.

In the Zhengde Hall, the huge candles beat happily, reflecting the golden brilliance in the hall. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, bowed and stood, everyone's face was full of joy, only Ma Fang, full of deep loss, especially when he heard the news of Yan Ran Le Shi, it made him even more indignant, this battle is impressive, the merit is better than Wei Qing, Huo Quai's Feng Wolf Juxu, if it wasn't for Geng Bing and Geng Gong blocking each other, these credits have their own share! In this way, who dares to say that he is noble just because his sister is the queen? Father Ma Yuan, even if he is a successor, and his father is in the spirit of the sky, and he is also extremely pleased! But now? Nothing, nothing! The Geng family is becoming more and more prominent, but what about the Ma family? Bleak, this full of hatred, how to report?

Emperor Ming sat on the dragon chair, his expression was quiet, but his heart was extremely excited. Today, in addition to the dragon robe, he deliberately added a thin layer of silk, which was covered on top of the yellow dragon, which looked golden in the candlelight, and had the momentum of soaring into the sky, which was extremely majestic.

The messenger handed over the Dou Gu Chapter, Zhong Chang was waiting to take it, bowed his head and approached, and carefully placed it on the dragon case. Emperor Ming was just about to say a few words, but suddenly, a breath of air in his abdomen rushed into his throat from the bottom up, which was very uncomfortable. He closed his throat, trying to suppress the breath. However, this breath was very tenacious, and the throat was extremely itchy, and Emperor Ming finally couldn't bear it, and with an "ah" sound, he coughed heavily. This cough, earth-shattering, resounded through the palace, and the cough lasted for a long time before it subsided. When the ministers saw it, the joy on their faces was swept away, followed by deep worry, since last winter, Emperor Ming's cough has become more and more severe, and it has not healed for a long time, and Emperor Ming's spirit is also becoming more and more depressed.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body matters! It is better to retreat from the dynasty first, summon the imperial doctor, and heal well. Fifth Lun couldn't help it and flashed out of the ministers. Coughing and sighing, the breath disappeared without a trace for no reason. Emperor Ming covered his mouth with a towel, he knew that at this time, the towel must be stained with blood. However, he couldn't let the ministers know that the Son of Heaven was the foundation of the world, and the Son of Heaven was ill and the world was uneasy, which Emperor Ming knew very well. He shook his head, opened the recital, read a few lines, his heart chuckled, his face changed too much, and he was patient, and finally finished reading the recital, and finally became furious! With both hands together, the movement is crumpled together and wrapped in the sleeve. Then he jumped up from the dragon chair and retreated angrily, leaving behind a blank look of civil and military officials.

The hatred of filling the chest made Emperor Ming's pace speed up a lot, he was simply trotting, and he couldn't keep up with the waiter, panting and begging: "The emperor slows down, be careful of the dragon body...... Emperor Ming was angry, over the years, how much he longed for himself to have the same martial arts as Emperor Wu, to govern the country and to open up the territory. He couldn't tolerate the wanton invasion of the Xiongnu on the border, and he wanted to use war to make the Xiongnu understand that the Han Dynasty was no longer the dynasty of Wang Mang, she was a powerful lion! Emperor Ming walked briskly, and the wind blew his long hair high, as if the cough was cured. Before he knew it, he came to Queen Ma's bedroom.

Queen Ma was spinning cloth, her hands were fluctuating and extremely skillful, and behind her was the coarse cloth that had been woven. She saw Emperor Ming rushing in with anger on his face, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Dou Gu won the battle in the north, why are you still so unhappy?" At this time, Emperor Ming felt extremely low back pain, as if he was about to break immediately, so he hurriedly found a stool, sat down, and said hatefully: "Dou Gu bullied me!" I can't wait to kill him right now! ”

Queen Ma was shocked, hurriedly stopped, and said, "Your Majesty, temporarily suppress the wrath of thunder!" You have no jokes, if these words are heard, I am afraid that it will stir up a bloody storm. ”

However, how can Emperor Ming's anger be calmed in a few words? He said angrily: "That year, Dou Gu's brother was involved in the rebellion of Chu Wangying and died in prison. Dou Guben was also arrested, I pitied him for his bravery, and he was a royal prince, so he forgave him, was demoted to a commoner, and soon after, he was re-promoted. Hmph, I never thought that this person would be so ungrateful, this deception, I can't wait to wipe out his whole family! Queen Ma was anxious and said, "Has the emperor forgotten the story of Li Guangli, the general of the second division?" Emperor Ming suddenly woke up and said, "I understand, if it wasn't for the queen's reminder, I almost made a big mistake!" ”

It turned out that when Emperor Wu, Li Guangli sent 100,000 troops to fight against the Xiongnu, and the night before departure, Li Guangli and Prime Minister Liu Quchao conspired to set up his nephew King Changyi as the crown prince. Li Guangli attacked the Xiongnu very easily, captured the Cheshi, and defeated the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was killed because of the crown prince Liu Ju, and hated and regretted, so he secretly investigated, and found that the witch Gu case was actually an unjust case, and the prince Liu Ju was not rebellious, but the son stole his father's soldiers and defended himself. At the same time, after discovering the counterplot of Liu Quchao and Li Guangli who wanted to establish the king of Changyi and take the opportunity to put the prince to death, Emperor Wu was furious and roared: "If you kill my son, I will wipe out your whole family!" "Then he punished Liu Quchao and Li Guangli. When Li Guangli heard the news outside the Saiwai, he filled his chest with hatred and led all the 100,000 troops to surrender to the Xiongnu, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the army was weakened, and it could not be recovered for several years. Now, Dou Gu is leading the army outside, if he kills his family, how can Dou Gu not surrender to the Huns? Although Dou Gu has few soldiers, they are all fighting in the south and the north, and they are extremely brave, and they can lead one side of the army if they take anyone out, and they are elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Dou is solid, but it shakes the foundation of the big man! Emperor Ming is a wise lord, and when Empress Ma mentions it, of course he understands.

Emperor Ming's anger gradually subsided. Queen Ma dropped the loom, sat by the stove with him, the charcoal was booming, Queen Ma took a pot of wine, put it on the fire, after a while, a white mist came out of the mouth of the pot, Queen Ma fanned, poured a cup with the pot, touched the cup again, handed it to Emperor Ming, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's just warm, drink it, you won't be so angry if you drink it." ”

Emperor Ming watched quietly, his heart was warm, he held the wine in one hand, and held Queen Ma in the other, and said softly: "The queen has been with me for many years, gentle and virtuous, diligent and thrifty, and dignified, and the mother is the world, alas, it is a pity that the sky is not eternal, I have recently felt that the illness has gradually become serious, like a rope, and I am afraid that I will abandon the queen soon." Speaking of this, Emperor Ming coughed again, coughing all over his face, and his green tendons were exposed, and it took a long time to calm down.
