When the news reached the palace, it happened that a burst of thunder swept across the sky, a thunderstorm fell unexpectedly, and the raindrops of beans splashed a lot of water on the ground, and the hall was quiet, and Liu said: "Queen Mother, my father is actually in the Jianzhang Palace..."

At this time, Liu Zhi didn't know whether to be happy or worried, since Jiang Chong's reign, all signs seemed to indicate that his father was trapped in the Ganquan Palace and even took the opportunity to make trouble, but at this time, Liu Che's edict and transfer made everything change. The person who wanted to quell the rebellion turned into a rebel in the end, so that he became the target of the public, and was criticized by the world, Liu Ju was both shocked and stunned, and Wei Zifu was the same.

"Young Master Shi, what do you think?" Wei Zifu raised his eyes and looked at Shi De.

Shi Dezu has been with him since the founding of the country by his ancestor Liu Bang, and the whole family has a good reputation in the Han Dynasty, and he was the prince and young master when Liu was young, and he has been deeply trusted by Liu Zheng for many years. Therefore, when the witch curse happened, Liu Ju summoned him to discuss it as soon as possible, but what he never expected was that the situation was so strange now, not only was the holy driver not trapped in Ganquan Palace as he thought, but also issued an edict to move Jianzhang Palace to command the rebellion, what does all this mean? Don't... Does the holy car really have the heart of easy storage?

When Wei Zifu asked Shi De, he was also in shock and suspicion, and replied: "Queen, the old minister is also puzzled. If the saint was not trapped in the Ganquan Palace, why did the queen and the crown prince send people to go there several times but there was no response? If the saint was suspicious of the prince, why didn't Jiang Chong send a messenger to inquire after he was executed? If the saint really has the heart of easy storage, why should he wait for the prince to take control of the southern army and then lead the army to attack by Liu Quyu, the prime minister of the left? Isn't all this unreasonable? ”

Wei Zifu nodded slowly and said, "What the Taifu said about this palace is also the same, but now that the prince is raising troops, no matter what his original intentions are, it has been a big rebellion in the eyes of His Majesty." This palace thinks that now that His Majesty is in the Jianzhang Palace, it is better to go from the palace to ask for guilt, and bring the previous causes and consequences together, Your Majesty Shengming, will definitely not be deceived by the villain, and when everything is clarified, this palace thinks that Your Majesty will also return the prince's innocence! ”

"Queen Mother!" Liu said earnestly, "This matter started because of the son-in-law, and the situation to this day is also done by the son-in-law, so the matter of going to the Jianzhang Palace to ask for guilt should also be done by the son-in-law!" Erchen believes that after his father finds out the cause and effect, he will definitely be able to understand Erchen's distress! ”

"The prince can't!" Shi De hurriedly dissuaded when he heard this, "The prince is already the center of the vortex, at this time, you must not rush to the Jianzhang Palace, the person who can stir up this matter is by no means an idle person, if the prince goes to ask for guilt before the matter is clear, the risk is very great!" If the queen goes to see His Majesty and informs His Majesty of the matter, I believe that with Your Majesty's holy wisdom, it will be a matter of time before the truth is ascertained. ”

"That's what Young Master Shi said!" Wei Zifu nodded in agreement, and said to Liu: "According to the son, it would be better for the queen mother to go before the matter is clear." ”

Liu Ji understood that this matter was very important, and he no longer insisted at the moment, so he only bowed and said to Wei Zifu: "There is a queen mother!" ”

----

After cleaning up a little, Wei Zifu immediately got into the carriage and went to Jianzhang Palace to face the saint. Jianzhang Palace is in the west of Chang'an City, only dozens of miles away from the straight city gate, the carriage out of the city gate less than an hour to arrive, but at this time the Jianzhang Palace is heavily guarded, as if facing the enemy.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jianzhang Palace, and Yun Niang stepped forward to hand over the queen's rune to the gate marquis for inspection, and said, "Please open the palace door, the queen asks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Who expected that the door marquis would not open the door after checking the Fu Festival, but only said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and no one from Weiyang Palace will be seen!" ”

Yun Niang said hurriedly when she heard this: "The queen is in the carriage, and I also ask the Marquis to inform Your Majesty!" ”

The gate marquis said: "Please also ask the queen to forgive the sin, Your Majesty's subordinates dare not disobey it!" ”

"You..."Yun Niang stomped her feet anxiously, "so subdued, if the queen's phoenix body is damaged, can you afford it?" ”

The door marquis had a difficult face, but he still insisted, "Please return to the palace!" ”

Yun Niang still wanted to argue with her, but she only heard Wei Zifu say in the carriage, "Yun Niang, help the palace down!" ”

"Queen..."Yun Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Zifu get out of the carriage, Wei Zifu stepped forward and said to the door marquis: "Since Your Majesty has a will, this palace will not embarrass you, you just need to go and tell Your Majesty, and this palace is waiting here." As for whether His Majesty sees or not, it is up to His Majesty to decide! ”

Now the queen said so, a small marquis didn't dare to refuse, and when she heard this, the marquis hurriedly said: "No! Then he turned around and entered the palace gate, and walked away quickly.

The scorching sun is like fire, scorching the earth, although there is shade outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace, but it is not enough to dispel the heat, and after waiting for a stick of incense, the sweat on Wei Zifu's forehead will flow down densely, Yun Niang wiped it in distress: "The queen will be patient for a while!" ”

"Hmm..."Wei Zifu nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay." ”

After another incense stick, the Marquis hurriedly came back and said: "Empress, Your Majesty said that the prince has lost virtue and it is difficult to return, please go back." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zifu hurriedly said: "This palace is coming for this matter, and the twists and turns must be the holy party in front of this palace." Please go and tell the Holy One again! ”

The gate marquis was embarrassed: "The queen should not embarrass the villain anymore, Your Majesty is gone, the queen should go back in hot weather!" ”

"No way!" Wei Zifu shook his head resolutely and said, "Now that the prince has been wronged, this palace will definitely seek innocence for the prince!" Please report back to Your Majesty! If Your Majesty doesn't see you, this palace will wait here forever! ”

Seeing this, the gate marquis was helpless, so he had to say: "The queen waits, and the villain will report again!" ”

It was time for two incense sticks again, and the doorman came back and forth with a helpless face: "Queen, Your Majesty is still missing... Please come back, Queen! ”

Although it is the hot season, Wei Zifu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, the husband and wife have been married for more than 30 years, why are they so affectionate? Now that his son has been accused of witchcraft rebellion, as a father, he is unwilling to even give a chance to explain, "Your Majesty, have you really been deceived by the villain, or have you long been suspicious of the evidence?" Wei Zifu was extremely frightened when he thought about it, and his heart was already cold.

"Queen, since Your Majesty is gone, let's come back tomorrow!" Yun Niang persuaded well.

Wei Zifu shook his head and said firmly: "This palace is not going anywhere, just wait here for the summons!" ”

----

The sound of summer cicadas, hiding in the shade of the leaves, chirping endlessly, Zhao Yan and Su Wen stood in the pavilion in the Jianzhang Palace, only to hear Su Wen say: "Madam, I heard that the queen is still outside the palace gate to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Yan looked at the sky outside the pavilion where there was no wind at all, and said with a slight smile: "Then let her wait, Your Majesty will not see her!" ”

Su Wen praised: "Thanks to Madame's good methods, the two envoys of the Imperial Palace are only afraid of death, and they don't know what happened!" ”

Zhao Yan said with a hint of disdain on her lips: "Who told them not to take a closer look when choosing a master?" The prince conspired against them, and they were naturally punished for the same crime, no wonder anyone! ”

"That's nature!" Su Wen nodded and smiled, "The little prince is born Emperor Yao, no one thought that Du Zhou would be able to enter the palace with Wang Bi that day, if he hadn't told His Majesty that the prince had rebelled, how could he force the prince to rebel so smoothly?" ”

Zhao Yan smiled more and more charmingly when she heard this, and said: "My son's destiny returns, and there are people to help me in the key place!" ”

Su Wen was even more busy congratulating: "What Madame said is extremely true! The old slave is willing to send for his wife! ”

Zhao Yan's eyes were full of smiles, and her gaze crossed the blue sky, in the future, the one who will be in charge of this world must be her Fu Lingzi!

----

The dusk of July is always coming late, four o'clock in the unitary hour, the sun is still a little dazzling when the gate of Jianzhang Palace is closed, looking at the crimson palace door slowly closing, Yun Niang persuaded in a good voice: "Queen, let's come back tomorrow!" ”

Wei Zifu nodded silently, waiting until tomorrow would be more dangerous for her son, but what else could she do but come back tomorrow?

The carriage and horses rolled in the direction of Weiyang Palace, and the setting sun paved the gallop road with a layer of golden yellow, and the carriage turned into a black dot in the far side of the road, gradually disappearing.

----

On the second day, the sky was not yet bright, when the gate of Jianzhang Palace was slowly opened, the door marquis saw a carriage parked at the palace gate, and the carriage stood next to the Jiaofang palace maid who had seen yesterday, and the door marquis hurriedly stepped forward to salute the carriage and said: "I have seen the queen!" ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Wei Zifu's voice came from inside, "This palace is waiting for the audience here, please wait for Your Majesty to get up and pass it on to this palace!" ”

The gate marquis responded and retreated.

Until four o'clock in the unitary hour, the palace gate was about to close again, Wei Zifu raised his eyes to look at the heavy Jianzhang Palace, a thousand words in his heart but no word to pour, silently for a long time, turned around and left.

On the third day, just as Wei Zifu stepped out of the palace gate, the crown prince Liu Ju called out to her, "Queen Mother! ”

When Wei Zifu heard this, he looked back, only to see Liu Ju's eyes full of tears, and he sobbed: "The queen mother is tired of running around for her son, and her son is extremely ashamed!" Since the father does not believe in the sons, it is useless for the queen mother to go again, and the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, so let the sons and daughters fight for their own reputation in a dignified manner! ”

Wei Zifu stroked her son and said reluctantly: "The queen mother watched you grow up since childhood, get married and have children, and I hope to see you rightfully ascend to the throne and become a generation of Ming Jun!" It's hard to turn back when you open the bow, and the queen mother can't let your father and son meet each other, according to the son, the queen mother..."

Before Wei Zifu finished speaking, he saw Liu Ju's attendant prince washing his horse and running inside, and said loudly: "The prince is not good!" Liu Quyu led the troops of the three auxiliaries to attack the Tai Palace! ”

"What?" Wei Zifu and Liu Ju were both taken aback, and Liu Ju hurriedly asked, "Where are the soldiers of the three auxiliaries?" ”

The prince washed the horse and gasped and replied: "It's already outside the palace!" ”

Wei Zifu's eyes were full of worry, and he grabbed Liu and said, "Let the queen mother go to Jianzhang Palace to beg your father..."

Liu Ju slowly shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, you have been begging your father for two days in a row, has your father ever seen you?" Since the father no longer believes in his son, the son can only prove his innocence! Yan Yan shook Wei Zifu's hand, and turned away with a determined look in his eyes.

"According to the son..."Wei Zifu shouted weakly, the situation in front of her no longer allowed her to choose, her son was right, since there was no trust, the only thing she could do was to prove her innocence!

"Kill!" A shout came from outside the palace wall, the two sides had already started a war, Wei Zifu wiped his tears, turned around and walked into the hall, and said to Yun Niang beside him: "Order the prince to wash the horse and quickly go to understand the war situation, and report to me!" ”

Mao time. "Queen, the two sides are still at war, and the battle situation is unknown."

Chenshi. "Empress, the southern army led by the crown prince suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and 12 out of 10 bad people in the central capital were killed or wounded."

Timed. "Queen, the southern army led by the crown prince suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and three or four out of ten of the bad people in the central capital were killed or wounded."

The expression on Wei Zifu's face has always been heavy and dignified, she didn't say a word, listened to the battle report in front of her, and let the mountains and tsunamis in her heart surge. She was worried, afraid, but never ran away, she knew that now their mother and son had no foreign help, and there was no choice but to prove their innocence.

Noon. The two sides are in truce.

"Queen Mother!" Liu Zhijian stepped inside, and he walked towards Wei Zifu with firm steps, and Wei Zifu hurriedly got up and called: "According to Er..."

"Queen Mother!" Liu Ju approached and comforted him in a good voice: "Although Liu Quyu led the troops of the three auxiliaries, he did not take much advantage of Erchen, and the casualties on both sides were almost the same, but Shi Shaofu mentioned the Changshui and Xuanqu Hu soldiers led by Captain Changshui, which made Erchen have a lot of ideas. ”

"Come, eat something first." Wei Zifu pointed to the food he had prepared, asked Liu Yi to sit down, and then said, "According to the child, what do you think?" ”

Liu said: "The Hu cavalry in the land of Changshui and Xuanqu is brave and good at fighting, and now Liu Quyu has led the troops of Sanfu to attack, if the son can mobilize this Hu cavalry, the odds of victory will increase a lot!" ”

Wei Zifu nodded and said: "According to what my son said, the queen mother also heard your uncle say that the Hu cavalry in the land of Changshui and Xuanqu was formed by the Han Xiongnu soldiers after conquering the Xiongnu back then, and they are very brave, and it would be best if they could mobilize this horse!" ”

Liu Ju heard his mother's approval, and made up his mind: "The queen mother also said the same, and the son immediately ordered someone to go to the levy with the Fu Festival!" ”

"Good!" Seeing Liu Ju deal with the chaos in a hurry, Wei Zifu felt a lot of relief.

Shen Shi. A bad news came that the Hu cavalry in Changshui and Xuanqu had been requisitioned by Shilang Mangtong and were rushing to reinforce Liu Quyu's troops.

According to Liu, his face changed at the moment and he walked down the gatehouse.

Listening to the sound of fighting in his ears, Liu Ju's gaze crossed the two warring sides in front of him and looked to the north of the city.

At the time of the unitary period, the crown prince Liu was dressed in armor and led his soldiers to the south gate of the northern army camp outside Chang'an City, and summoned Ren An, the envoy of the northern army, and said: "The envoy of the northern army protects Ren An to listen to the order!" ”

Ren An leaned over and said, "The envoy of the Northern Army protects Ren An, here!" ”

Liu Ju said loudly: "Today, the left prime minister Liu Quyu led the troops of the three auxiliaries to attack the Taigong, and the palace ordered you to send troops quickly and set things right!" After that, he awarded the talisman in his hand to Ren An.

Ren An took the rune and bowed: "Ren An obeys!" ”

Seeing that the requisition of the Northern Army was so smooth, Liu Ji felt wide at the moment, and said privately: "General Ren was born in the Wei Da Sima Mansion, although his uncle has already traveled to the immortals, but he knows that the general's loyalty is still there, and in this battle, the palace will ask General Ren!" ”

Ren An said in a deep voice: "The prince is serious, this is the duty of the minister!" ”

"Good!" Liu Zhi praised, "This palace is waiting for you to send troops!" ”

"No!" Ren An answered, turned around and returned to the camp. Liu Ju waited outside the northern military camp for a long time, but he did not see any move in the camp to send troops, and then called Ren An, who closed the door and did not come out. Seeing this great change, Liu was indignant in his heart, and scolded loudly towards the northern army camp: "Ren An, you old horseman, you have no faith in your words, and you are extremely hateful!" ”

After scolding several times in succession, the northern army still did not move, and seeing that it was time to come, Liu Ju could not stay long, so he had to turn his horse's head and run towards Chang'an City.

After a one-day battle, although both sides had casualties, Changshui and Xuanqu Hu could not be requisitioned, and they were protected by the envoys of the Northern Army, and Liu Ju's grasp of the future battle situation became smaller and smaller.

As soon as the next day dawned, Liu Ju ordered the imperial palace guards to temporarily organize tens of thousands of young and strong people in the four cities of Chang'an in the name of quelling the rebellion. Just when Wei led these people through the west gate of Changle Palace, they encountered the army led by Liu Quyu, and the two sides quickly fought, and in an instant, blood was everywhere, and countless casualties were killed.

After receiving the report, Liu Ju hurriedly led the main force of the Southern Army and the bad people of the Central Capital to join the battle.

----

Wei Zifu woke up from his dream, sweating profusely, the melee in Chang'an City had lasted for five days, and everyone was rumored to have rebelled against the prince and had been defeated and killed.

"No, according to the son, you must not have anything to do, the queen mother is still waiting for you, as long as your father enters the city, he will definitely understand that you have been wronged..."

The night was deep and blurry, and the prince had been washing the horse for two days in the future, and Wei Zifu was tormented like setting a fire.
