Chapter 52: The Old Man Reunited

A woman's voice came from the guard of honor: "Xu Qing is a loyal and good person of the country, how can he be as knowledgeable as a woman in the deep palace?" Since General Xu invites him, then the palace is a guest, and the guest is as he pleases, and if he doesn't pay a courtesy, he won't be courteous, but why should Xu Qing be more rational with a scholar? He was just a courtesy official, and he didn't know how to be flexible, so he asked Xu Qing to spare his life. ”

"Xu Moujie is a rural village husband, dazzled behind his ears, shallow in his knowledge, and asked his mother to come out of the account." "Come out! Come out! The sergeants on the side coaxed, and the shouts were transmitted, until the entire front army shouted: "Come out!" Come out! There was no movement in the queen's tent, and even the maids and maids next to the guard of honor looked at them indifferently without the slightest expression.

Above the tower, the emperor looked at the honor guard in the distance, and heard the group of rebels laughing at his wife, and his face sank. At this time, he clenched his fists and patted the city wall through gritted teeth, "Bring the sword." The chief chamberlain handed him his sword, and he was about to go downstairs and out of the city with the sword, but the sergeants hurriedly stopped him. Your Majesty can't, and the community is the most important. "If Your Majesty is determined to leave the city, please behead us first." He snorted coldly and threw the sword to the chief attendant: "Where is Tianjiao?" ”

"Counting the hour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be reading, but..." "Your Highness has heard about the queen's mother, and he has been kneeling in front of your palace every day after schoolwork without sleep, and you have said that you are not allowed to care about him..." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drenched in rain on the way back from kneeling yesterday, and today he didn't study because of the cold..." "Yes."

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurried to the city tower in plain clothes, the Empress Fengjia was still in a stalemate with Xu Yuan, and when Tianjiao saw this, he hurriedly ran to the emperor's side: "Father, is the queen mother in this honor guard?" The Emperor nodded, "Listen." "Come out! Come out! He listened to the voice of this group of rebels openly laughing at his mother, and gritted his teeth, "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops into battle, the son will definitely be able to break the enemy army, the son of the minister... I can't bear to let my mother suffer today's humiliation! ”

A pair of big hands grasped his shoulders, and Tianjiao looked up to see his father's gloomy eyes. The big hand increased his strength, and he only felt that his bones were about to be crushed by his father. "Now that you have some ability, you dare to talk about the affairs of the soldiers. You are the crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and you will be the emperor in the future, and nothing can be an obstacle for you on the way to becoming a king, not even your mother! I have always had high hopes for you, and I have called you here today to tell you that you must not forget the shame of today. Your mother, my queen, can sacrifice for the Zhou Kingdom, and I can do it, but you can't, you have to remember your identity at all times, you are the crown prince of the Great Zhou, you are the future monarch, even if the sky falls, you must focus on the overall situation. ”

He nodded: "The sons will not live up to their father's expectations, they must put the country first in everything, put their children's private feelings behind, and do not forget the humiliation that the queen mother suffered for her sons and daughters today." The emperor nodded, looking at his son, his eyes were slightly red, his wife and children couldn't protect him, he was really a failed emperor. He let go of the hand holding Tianjiao's shoulder, and turned his head in the direction of the outside of the city: "Keep watching." ”

The gauze curtain slowly opened, and the queen slowly walked out of it, only to see that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with thousands of phoenixes, and walked towards Xu Yuan after getting off the guard of honor, "I haven't seen her for twelve years, Xu Qing is actually a lot thinner." Xu Yuan said with a smile: "Wandering alone in a foreign land, I am tired and tired, it is better for my mother to live and raise in the palace, and my dignity is abnormal." "Xu Qing invited the palace to come this time, and the palace came, I wonder if Xu Qing can be satisfied with this old man's meeting?" Xu Yuan nodded, "Very satisfied." He waved his hand, the shouting around him stopped abruptly, there was silence around, gradually, the shouting subsided, and everyone's eyes focused on them, "Niangniang came to the rough place of the military camp with Qu Fengti, it is really Xu Yuan's inconsiderate consideration, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me, His Royal Highness Prince Shen has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time, and I also asked Niangniang to enter the account." "Lead the way."

In front of the tent, Zhao Qian has been draped in full, leading the generals to wait to greet him, as soon as the queen arrived, he took the lead in making a big salute, "The younger brother welcomes the queen's mother, and if you miss the welcome, please atone for your sins." The queen nodded slightly, "The imperial brother has wronged you for so many years, hurry up and let my sister-in-law see if you have grown taller." Zhao Qian hurriedly stood up, but the uncle and sister-in-law, who had never seen before, were as intimate as a family at this time, supporting each other and walking towards the tent, and when they arrived in the tent, they actually resigned each other.

"The young and the old are orderly, and I invite my sister-in-law to take a seat." Zhao Qian respectfully invited her up, and she said softly and weakly: "Uncle, you have grown up now, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I am a woman in the deep palace, I have never seen the world, how can I be on the top, or uncle." The two prevaricated, and finally Zhaoqian sat on the throne. He leaned over to the queen and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if my imperial brother is good to come in?" ”

The queen smiled and nodded, "If you want to say that there is a difference between this clan, although there is a difference between respect and inferiority, in the final analysis, it is a family, that is, Prince Shen is the closest to His Majesty, that is, you are the most gentle and courteous." Over the years, traitors have bewitched the monarch and made your family wronged, and these majestys have been rehabilitated, why does the emperor's brother still besiege Gyeonggi? As long as you want, you can be divided into Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jinling, and be a happy prince without worrying about the world, you are happy. ”

"When my father was not yet in charge, His Majesty Ruizong collapsed, the first emperor treated my father as if he was his own, but unfortunately my father was crowned not long after, the first emperor collapsed, and the matter of dividing the seal could only be put aside, when my father suffered all the white eyes, only to be assigned to a small county town, our family did not have time to clean up out of Gyeonggi, the catastrophe came from the sky, Liu Huizu killed the family, no one was spared." Zhao Qian poured a big sip of wine, drank it with a red face and a thick neck, the tent was quiet, everyone was looking at him, waiting for his next step, he continued with red eyes: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the heavy land of Gyeonggi, can the imperial brother really be stupid enough to not have his own eyeliner?" Didn't he really know what happened to the clan? Queen Mother, how could he not know that without his acquiescence, would Liu Huizu dare to act so boldly? "I know, it's you who have been wronged..." How would you know? You're just a pawn that your brother has given up for the sake of his throne, Queen Mother. ”
