Chapter 343: The Widow in the Palace
According to the etiquette of the royal family, in fact, after Liu Tong returned to the palace, he should hurry into the palace to report his safety to the emperor, and meet the He family and Tang Ji who live in Yuanluan, which is what the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty should do. However, in order to eliminate the hostility of the six daughters, and Liu Tong was unwilling to enter the impersonal palace, so early in the morning of the second day, Long Jun didn't even go to the morning court, and directly led his wife and children to the Weishui River.
Seeing that Liu Tongneng didn't even go to the palace because of them, the six women's hearts suddenly warmed, and the unhappiness caused by yesterday's farce disappeared. So under Long Jun's careful arrangement, everyone began to set up tents and move picnic utensils from the carriage one by one. Since he was playing with his family this time, Long Jun did not arrange any guards on his side, resulting in all the physical work being pressed on him alone. Fortunately, Long Han is still half a man, and when this little guy saw Long Jun running back and forth, he hurriedly handed over the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters to his sister Long Nuo, and then ran to Long Jun's side to help prepare the materials for cooking.
Laughter and laughter on the banks of the Weishui River, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in Chang'an City was covered with dark clouds, because of Longyang's abrupt behavior yesterday, after the banquet that night, the Blazing Sky Military Governor was called to the ancestral hall by the Cheng family general and let him stay overnight. At this moment, he was rubbing his numb legs, slandering Long Jun's unrighteous behavior, if it wasn't for his entrustment, how could he come to such a scene yesterday, but after he was punished, Long Jun didn't even defend him.
At this time, Cheng appeared outside the ancestral hall and heard Long Yang thinking in it, so she pushed open the door of the ancestral hall angrily, looked at Long Yang and sneered, "What? Do you think it's not heavy enough to punish you for your mother? Or do you think your eldest brother is too unrighteous and didn't suffer with you here? If you feel uncomfortable, then you might as well kneel with you here? ”
After a pause, without waiting for Long Yang to answer, Cheng stepped forward and kicked Long Yang's outstretched legs, and said with a smile, "Do you know how much trouble your actions yesterday will cause your eldest brother?" Originally, the war outside and the situation in the DPRK and China were enough to annoy him, and you still blocked him at home, didn't you help outsiders calculate your brother? ”
Hearing Cheng's words, Long Yang was aggrieved, and fought back with an angry face, "Please, old lady!" It was he who made me sit on the throne of the world! Who doesn't know that our family is headed by women, if it weren't for him, do you think I would dare to offend those sisters-in-law? I had already run back to the barracks to sleep. It's good now, he travels with the United States, I suffer here, and he said that he will help me out! I think he will talk about his ability, once he arrives at the real chapter, he is faster than anyone else, and he is not as good as Han'er and his mother! ”
Hearing this, Cheng poked Long Yang's head fiercely with his hand, and said speechlessly, "What did you say!" Your eldest brother gave Tong'er a look, do you think your sisters-in-law haven't seen it? They're trying to get you a staircase! Today should have been the day when your sister-in-law (Liu Tong) entered the palace to meet His Majesty and report peace to the He family, but now because of your actions, the two of them have all abandoned the etiquette system, which will make those who are hostile to your brother catch the handle, and don't smear your brother fiercely? ”
At this point, Long Yang actually understood that he was too anxious, which caused things to change. So Long Yang pursed his lips, leaned back, looked at the ceiling to Cheng, and said silently, "I know all this!" But mother, you may not know that Yuan Shao in Jizhou has produced two factions because of the dispute between the sons of the world, and they are fighting endlessly in front of Yuan Shao, and the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are even more life-and-death. Now Long Cheng and Long Yi are still young, and they don't have anything, but once they grow up, those who support them behind their backs will inevitably affect the relationship between the two brothers. ”
Then, Long Yang turned his head, looked at Cheng who was deep in thought, and continued, "My eldest brother asked me to come forward to support Han'er, I naturally understand that this will offend a few sisters-in-law, but for the long-term stability of our Long family, and the stability of the forces in China, I can only make this decision, as long as my actions are spread yesterday, those who are making noise behind will definitely die down!" And mother, don't you think Han'er is very similar to my eldest brother when I was a child? It's all so wise, so smart! Just because of the gifts he made to Long Cheng and Long Yi, I don't think my two sisters-in-law would have a bad feeling for him! ”
"Han'er is really good!" For Long Yang's evaluation, Cheng nodded undeniably, Long Han's actions yesterday, let alone a child, I'm afraid that even adults may not be as good as Long Han's handling, with only two self-made peach wood swords, not only gained the favor of Cao Qing and Cai Yan, and even the rest of the women loved him very much, and they frequently chatted with Long Han during the banquet, making Long Han laugh all the time, and even the unhappiness caused by Long Yang was forgotten!
After praising Long Han, Cheng squatted on the futon next to Long Yang, looked at Long Yang, who could already share the worries of his eldest son, and said with a smile, "Since you know this, then being a mother will not hinder your decision!" But I have to tell you, whatever it is, the harmony of the family is the most important thing! ”
Speaking of this, Cheng seemed to have remembered something, so he frowned and asked Long Yang, "There is one thing I want to ask you!" On the way back from Jizhou with your eldest brother, did he mention the matter of the He family to you? Now there are a lot of rumors in this aristocratic circle, all of which say that the He family gave birth to a daughter in the palace, saying that she raised a face. What does your eldest brother have to tell you? ”
Referring to the question of the He family, Long Yang shook his head, let alone the Cheng family, even he, the person who came back from outside, heard this rumor, and it was no one else who spread it, it was the servant in his courtyard. At first, Long Yang didn't think much about it, but when he thought about it carefully, it became clear that the child born by the He family must be his niece, otherwise there would be that man in this world who could get close to the He family? Not to mention that the two have a relationship!
Seeing Long Yang shaking his head, Cheng sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Long Yang's father's tablet, and laughed at himself, "I, the Long Clan, have been in turmoil since the time when Chu and Han were fighting. But there has never been a time when he abandoned his children because of difficulties, why did the ancestor Long look down on Gao Zu, wasn't it because Gao Zu abandoned his wife on the way to escape and gave up his father? Now that your eldest brother has a daughter in the palace who doesn't recognize him, when the child grows up, what will she think of us? ”
During this time, Cheng can be said to have been spending in self-blame, she wanted to enter the palace several times to see her granddaughter and bring some gifts to the child, but every time she wanted to enter the palace, a voice would always ring in her ears, telling her not to be impulsive, otherwise not only her granddaughter would be in danger, but even her eldest son Long Jun would be implicated. But now it is not her situation in Xuzhou, let the child grow up in a single-parent family, what impact will it have on the child?
"In my opinion, leave this matter to the eldest brother, I believe that the eldest brother will not let my niece be wronged! On the contrary, there are several sisters-in-law in the house and Han'er and his mother, if they know about it, what should they do? The other sisters-in-law are just that, Han'er and his mother have a real mother-daughter relationship with He's, in case this matter is exposed, won't the sister-in-law (Liu Tong) run away from home again? So, mother, during this time, you want to find a way to stop the people in the house, and warn them that if there are any more rumors, my eldest brother will not clean them up, and I will also make them understand what the rules are! When he said this, Long Yang's eyes were full of coldness, don't look at him as a fool, but once it is related to the safety of his family, he is more concerned than anyone else. What's more, it's about his eldest brother and niece!
"Well, don't worry, I'll let Xiangbo intervene to stop it during this time! Your brother, you have a chance to tell him and let him be ready, rumors like this, even if we try our best to stop it, there will always be omissions, so that he is ready to be blamed by Tong'er in advance, it is better than a sudden attack! ”
At the same time, when Cheng's mother and son were worried about Long Jun, the five military advisors who had just returned to the Military Aircraft Department also knew what happened in the Hou Mansion yesterday. After Guo Jia analyzed Long Yang's purpose, they decided to wait for Long Jun to come back from outside the city, and then visit Liu Tong's mother and son, cheer for Long Yang, and ensure that Long Han can smoothly ascend to the throne of the prince.
After the matter was decided, Xu Shu, who was sitting next to Xun You, sneered, "Let the eldest prince ascend the throne, not to mention the name, if the lord has the intention of replacing him in the future, there is a prince here, and it is much more convenient for us, at least the prince has the blood of the Liu family flowing in his body, which is enough to make those scheming people close their mouths." ”
"That's all for later, and some time ago, everyone also knew what the wind direction of Chang'an City was! The two little sons have just been born, and they are impatient to decide the ownership of the prince for the lord, and now the eldest prince of Long Han has returned with the momentum, not only has he been recognized by the old lady, I heard that even those housewives are quite appreciative of it, not to mention the lord! Now that the second son is building momentum for him, if we don't add a fire, I'm afraid the lord will find us trouble! ”
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled, and Jia Xu on the other side shook his head. After Long Jun and his entourage, who went out to play that night, returned to the house, Guo Jia and the others really appeared in the Hou Mansion, and greeted Long Han in the courtyard in front of everyone. Compared with Long Yang's actions yesterday, today's women have long had no other thoughts, anyway, Long Jun also made it clear to them during the day that the position of the son of this world is not only about status, but also about the future stability of Guanzhong, and they don't want to let the infant child fall into this whirlpool from an early age.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Long Jun ordered someone to prepare a dinner, and then he led the five military divisions to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Long Jun seemed to be a different person, and turned to Guo Jia and asked the others, "Is there a report on the war in Hebei today?" What is the situation in Taiyuan? ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled slightly, and then hugged his fists and replied, "There are battle reports every day, and today's battle reports are basically the same as yesterday's, and there is no substantial progress." On the Taiyuan side, Zhang He still does not retreat, and our army will not be able to make war exploits for the time being! But it's still an advantage overall! ”
Then, Xun Yu on the other side continued, "As for the political affairs, the edict of the lord and the lord has decreed that General Xu Huang of Juyanhai and General Pang De stationed in Wuhai County have joined forces to take the territory north of Beiyi Mountain, and Shangshu Province has passed the canonization of the new county and named it Helan County, and the sandy land has also begun to be governed, which can be completed in just five years!" ”
"On the personnel side, according to the original instructions of the lord, the three provinces have gradually replaced the responsibilities of the three princes, but for the manpower, we are now in short supply! At the beginning, the Wenchen generals brought by the lord from Lu Bu have already been divided into various duties according to their abilities, but that Chen Palace, we really can't help it, Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo have been there several times, and this guy will not let go! ”
When Long Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly, and then said to Jia Xu, "I'll go to the Chen Palace, the next goal of your three provinces will begin to encroach on the rights of Jiuqing, and strive to complete the establishment of the six departments by the end of the year!" ”
"Whoa!"
