144, Puja
Xu Han went from Xuanpingfang Xu Mansion to Jin Wuwei before dawn, and later Lord Zhou sent the master to talk about the nunnery, Xu Han thought that there was no need to delay for a day, so he didn't send someone to Xu Danxiu to say.
I didn't expect to encounter Huo Qi seeking justice with a spirit card and the rebellion of the three princes.
Xu Danxiu was in the house in Xuanpingfang, and at first she didn't wait for Xu Han to come back, and she didn't care, she just thought that it was an unfinished errand for the yamen.
Until night, the footsteps of soldiers running quickly can be heard on the interface from time to time, and the cold light of weapons flickering at the end of the alley can be seen through the crack in the door.
Xu Danxiu also listened to the report on the gatehouse outside, and then remembered that Xu Han, who said that he would come back when he went out in the morning, had not seen anyone yet.
My heart suddenly chuckled.
She quietly sent someone to the palace to investigate, but Xu Han did not go back to the palace to live.
After listening to the reply, Xu Danxiu felt more and more that something was wrong, and then heard the porter say that there were many faces in front of the house and behind the house.
An Xiang was anxious when he saw her for the first time, and he couldn't bear to see her like this, so he relied on his good kung fu and sent people from several big shops in the capital to visit other high-ranking people.
When I came back, I found that the higher the official status of the men in the family, the more soldiers were laid out at the door.
Moreover, some of them were clever, and after asking the porter, they found out that the master in charge of the family was called to the palace overnight.
Xu Danxiu and An Xiangchu are not vegetarians, especially An Xiangchu, who can be the big boss of the rich and rival the country's security, how many ups and downs have they experienced.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both clearly and secretly sensed that Jingli was afraid that there would be a big change of dynasty.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Danxiu was even more anxious, Xu Jun didn't care about her, but Xu Han didn't have any news now, and she didn't know what the situation was.
You must know that Xu Han is the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, and he has never changed the dynasty, and civil officials are not good, so he must have soldiers on hand.
These people around the mansion don't know the details, and they don't know what happened to Xu Han.
"Ah Xiu, don't worry, no news is good news." An Xiangchu stood in front of Xu Danxiu and comforted her in a low voice.
How can Xu Danxiu not worry, she only has two children in her life, one Xu Xuan asked her to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, and the remaining one Xu Han, I can't hold it in the palm of my hand.
But she is not a shallow-eyed woman, especially Xu Han's life-threatening identity, she can only let Xu Han go out.
She suddenly looked up at An Xiangchu and said,
"Thank you, when Han'er comes back, you can go."
As if he hadn't heard what she said, An Xiangchu took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and said while opening it,
"I just went out and bought it, don't you like to eat ghee snails? The one you like the most makes it. ”
Xu Danxiu stiffened her face and did not reach out to pick it up.
An Xiangchu put down the oil paper bag, wiped his face a little anxiously, and his handsome face was kneaded into a handful of bitter gourds.
However, it is still helpless,
"Isn't the little prince still back? I've already asked people to go to the palace gate to investigate, so don't worry about getting angry. ”
He raised his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and stretched out his hand, "If you feel uncomfortable, Nuo, give you a bite, but don't kick me out, okay?" ”
At this time, Xu Danxiu was not only anxious for Xu Han, but also sighed and regretted, knowing that this An Xiangchu's identity was not simple, he should not recruit people in.
Nowadays, it is easier to ask God and it is difficult to send God.
Forget it, let's wait until Han'er comes back.
Now she has to guard against the fact that she can't fall into the hands of the prince of Dao, and is used by the other party to blackmail Xu Han to do something hurtful to heaven and reason, and her daughter will not be worried about death at that time.
She cheered up, gathered the housekeepers and others in the mansion, made a strict defense, thought about it, and asked people to go to the Zhenbei Wangfu to have a look, and when the arrivals returned, it was said that Xu Jun had also entered the palace.
At the same time, Xu Danxiu also knew about Huo Qi kneeling in front of the palace gate with the Huo family's spirit card.
Xu Danxiu sighed, and said with some regret,
"Huo family, it's a pity for their wife."
Xu Danxiu also knew the daughters of the Huo family back then, and the daughters of the general's family were somewhat hearty, different from other daughters in Beijing.
Xu Danxiu is also a hearty person, and he can talk to Mrs. Huo and others.
Speaking of which, Xu Danxiu has really not made any better friends than Mrs. Huo in Beijing in recent years.
It's a pity that the good friends are gone.
This night, Xu Danxiu never closed her eyes, and she was tormented, waiting for Xu Han's news.
It wasn't until dawn that Xu Han sent someone back to report that she was okay, and after knowing that she was fine, Xu Danxiu stumbled and sat down on the chair.
An Xiangchu knelt at her feet on one knee, raised his head, raised his eyes, looked into her eyes, and said with a smile,
"I said it's okay, you're just worried. The men at the door were gone. There was no big fighting at night, and I thought about it, there was no change of dynasty. ”
Xu Danxiu pursed her lips, didn't speak, glanced at him quietly, pushed him away, got up and walked out.
An Xiangchu stood there, towards her back, and his voice was gentle,
"Xu Danxiu, I like you, I will treat you very well."
I like you, I'm willing to spoil you, I'm willing to love you, I just want you to give me a chance.
Xu Danxiu didn't look back, his footsteps didn't stop for a minute, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared outside the door.
An Xiangchu was not discouraged, chuckled, stretched his body, and stretched a long lazy waist.
……
Xu Han, together with Huo Qi and those people, sent the spirit cards of the Huo family to Funing Temple, and after the Huo family was copied, these spirit cards were moved by Xu Han to Funing Temple for worship.
The people who sent the spirit cards have left, and now only Xu Han and Huo Qi are left.
Xu Han looked at Huo Zheng's spirit card in front of him again, and the tears that he couldn't stop falling again.
Rehabilitated, finally rehabilitated!
How difficult it is to go this one!
She can finally see her father on Huangquan Road when she dies one day, and she can stand calmly in front of him.
"Hanhan, big brother will be proud of you." Huo Qi saw Xu Han's gaze fixed on Huo Zheng's spirit card, and walked over gently, holding Xu Han's shoulder.
Xu Han came back to his senses, nodded, his face was a little dazed, and after a long time, he came back and said in a low voice,
"Seventh Uncle......
Huo Qi stood beside her, grabbed her shoulders, and let her lean on his body.
It seems that he is the needle of the sea in this torrent, no matter the huge waves, no matter the storm, he is standing here.
When you can't walk, you just rest on him, you don't know where to go, you look up at him, and the road ahead has a direction.
This is unique to the Huo family, this is the pillar of the Huo family, and it is also the pillar of the Huo family.
After that, it will shelter all the surviving Huo family members.
"Well, there will be a seventh uncle in the future, and our eleventh mother will still be the former eleven mother."
Huo Qi took Xu Han to the door, and the two talked in a low voice.
"Eleven Niang, you still have the responsibility of the Xu family now, and Uncle Seventh is not not from letting you take care of the Huo family's affairs, but the Xu family is also your responsibility."
"I don't know how to worry about this night, we will talk about other things later, you go back to report to Niangniang first."
Xu Han smiled and said,
"Seventh uncle, when I left the palace, I already asked people to go back to report the news, this mother should know."
"I know, I won't abandon my responsibilities, Uncle Seven, what are your plans in the future?"
It snowed heavily at night, but there was already a sun, and the afternoon sun was very good, driving away the coldness of the snow, and falling on the two people, making the scene extraordinarily quiet.
Huo Qi rubbed the top of Xu Han's head and said with a smile,
"Uncle Seventh hasn't thought about it, when he thinks about it, he will tell us Eleven Niang, okay?"
The smile was as bright as ever, as if the world had been lit up.
Xu Han's heart instantly spread with warmth.
She took her time, "Okay." ”
When Xu Han went down the mountain, Xiao Wei was waiting for her, and when he saw her, he stepped forward and took Xu Han's hand without saying a word and got into the carriage.
"The palace is all cleaned up?"
Xu Han asked.
Xiao Wei touched her hair, and said in a light tone,
"You can rest for a while, don't think about anything, and don't worry about anything outside, okay?"
Xu Han wanted to say something, but Xiao Wei's hand reached over and covered her eyes, and Xu Han obediently leaned on him, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Maybe it was because he was too tired for this day and night, or maybe it was because his spirit was too tight during this time, Xu Han leaned on for a while and really fell asleep.
She was dazed as she felt her head resting on something a little elastic and hard.
It's not very comfortable, but it exudes a reassuring atmosphere and a warm and comfortable temperature, which makes her feel a little nostalgic.
She subconsciously rubbed it, and let her consciousness be confused again.
Well, it's really tiring, very tired.
I don't know how long I slept, Xu Han heard the sound of someone talking outside, Xu Han opened her eyes, she was still in the carriage, but she was lying down, covered with a man's cloak.
Xu Han sat up and found that his shoes had also been taken off and placed on the side of the carriage.
Just as he was about to get up, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xiao Wei walked in.
"Are you awake?"
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the shoes on the side, and he was going to help Xu Han put them on.
Xu Han shrunk his feet and asked in a low voice, "How long have I been sleeping?" Why did the carriage stop, and you didn't wake me up. ”
Xiao Wei helped her put on her shoes and said,
"It's not long, it's just an hour."
"I saw that you slept soundly and the road was not very good, so I stopped."
"During this time, you are the Huo family affair again, and the Xu family affair must be very tired. Eleven Niang, in the future, everything will be fine. You don't have to work so hard anymore. ”
Xu Han smiled, she said in a low voice, "Xiao Xiaozheng, the Huo family is finally innocent." ”
Xiao Wei also smiled and said gently, "Yes, the Huo family is fine." “
Tears slowly poured out of Xu Han's eyes, one drop, two drops, three drops.
Xiao Wei opened his arms and took her into his arms,
"Why are you crying, you should be happy, you have been gone for so long and have suffered so much, isn't it just for today?"
Xu Han was in a trance, yes, in the past, those who had no way to go, nowhere to stop, were burdened with blood debts and full of expectations, and did not stop for a moment.
No matter how hard the road is, no matter how difficult, no matter how long, no matter how desperate, she can only move forward.
Now, she can finally stop. You can take a look at the scenery on the road and even the people in front of you.
Xiao Wei turned into a magic trick, and suddenly conjured a bouquet of flowers, pushing Xu Han, "This flower is for you." ”
Xu Han wiped his eyes and looked at Xiao Wei in a daze.
"Do you like this flower? I heard that the girl's family likes to accept these, I'll send you flowers, Hanhan, don't be unhappy in the future, okay. ”
"As long as you're happy, I can send you flowers every day." Xiao Wei said seriously.
He didn't say a word, Hanhan, it's life, I can also give it to you.
Her tears fell in his eyes, on the hem of his clothes, on his heart, and burned.
He didn't want her to shed a single tear, but she wouldn't fail to shed such tears.
Xu Han carefully took the bouquet of flowers, "Okay." ”
She will definitely be happy in the future, like is like, happy is happy.
She raised her head, touched Xiao Wei's lips lightly, asked him to hold it, and took a long kiss.
Xiao Xiao let go of her and said in her ear,
"My biggest and original purpose has been achieved, and the rest of the time is our own.
I promise you, I will make you feel happy, I will do it, from now on, you can think about what kind of life you want to live, I will listen to you. ”
Xu Han tilted her head to look at him, her previous wishes seemed to have come true, to find out the cause of Xu Xuan's death, and to avenge the Huo family.
Now she suddenly didn't know what kind of life she wanted to live.
But the responsibility of the Xu family must be shouldered.
She stopped talking, and finally smiled and said,
"It's good to be with you."
Well, yes, pretty good.
When Xiao Wei heard this, the corners of his lips were raised, and he hugged her waist again, put his forehead against his forehead, and said,
"Of course, I'm such a good person."
"Hanhan, think about it, no matter what, I'll listen to you!"
Xu Han looked at him and smiled, sweet to the heart.
The carriage, which had been parked for a long time, started again, and when it returned to Xuanpingfang, it was already nearly dusk, and the setting sun shone on the snow, shining with a clear cold.
"Hanhan, when things in the palace settle down, I'll take you to the village to live for a few days, hunting, watching the scenery, eating and drinking, and doing what you want, okay?"
When Xu Han's foot stepped into the door, Xiao Wei raised the curtain and asked.
Xu Han smiled back, good, of course.
The rehabilitation of the Huo family means that the common concerns of the two of them have been put down.
Because of the Huo family, they decided to focus on the overall situation, and the weather has not really put aside distractions to enjoy life.
Today's moment has finally come, and it proves that they can finally replan their own lives.
Xu Danxiu was naturally very happy when she saw Xu Han coming back, and her heart was finally relieved.
At night, the mother and daughter lay in a bed and whispered.
Xu Danxiu thought of her worries in the past two days and wanted to reprimand her daughter a few words, but seeing her tired face and the bruises under her eyes, she couldn't say a word of weight.
"Don't hide such a big thing from me in the future, my mother is only you, you said you were going to do something, what should my mother do?"
Xu Han leaned his head on her shoulder and rubbed it, "Mother, I was wrong." This happened so fast, but I went to the mountains to arrest people, who would have thought that such a big thing would happen. ”
"It's all in one place, I just can't send you a letter, but Yu Dongping sent someone to guard the door."
"Then what's going on with the Huo family?" Xu Danxiu asked.
Xu Han told everything the three princes had done, and then said, "The emperor has demoted him to a concubine, everything he wants is impossible to get, he can't die if he dies, and every day will be extremely tormenting." ”
Of course, she won't let the three princes have a good time, the Huo family, and the lives of those 100,000 soldiers, how could she let the three princes be locked in a cage well, no, absolutely not.
However, how to do it has to be carefully considered.
……
The next day, Xu Han woke up after three poles, and Wei Ting knocked on the door outside with unconcealable joy to report,
"Good news, just now the palace has made a will, the Huo family has finally been rehabilitated, and the evil deeds of the three princes have also been announced to the public, and the emperor has even issued an edict against himself, saying that his teaching is incorrect, which led to the Huo family being victimized by traitors, and the 100,000 soldiers will all be greatly compensated."
Wei Ting's voice was full of anger, and it passed through the door panel to Xu Han's ears.
Xu Han listened to Wei Ting's report in a daze, and after a long time, he finally got up, put on his clothes haphazardly, opened the door, and looked at Wei Ting outside.
Wei Ting smiled, saw Xu Han, and said, "The emperor has sent someone to pass a decree to Jingtai Temple, so that the abbot master there can choose a day to do a three-day and three-night water and land puja for the Huo family and the 100,000 Jiang clan, all the people who died implicated in this case!"
At that time, the emperor will take Concubine Yu, the crown prince, civil and military officials, and the wife of the clan will go, and now, the capital is boiling up and down. “
"Many people have already gone to mourn the people of the Huo family."
Fa meeting, condolences, it seems that the emperor is indeed guilty of the Huo family, his move not only overturned the case for the Huo family, but even saved the royal face that was smeared because of the three princes, and won the hearts of the people.
Undoubtedly a wise move.
She groaned for a while, but she was not happy from the bottom of her heart, of course, it was good to be rehabilitated.
However, no matter how much they do now, the people of the Huo family will not come back to life.
Perhaps, this is the human heart, always thinking about this and that.
From this day on, up and down the capital, the remembrance of the Huo family began, and the storytellers in the teahouse immediately fabricated the courage of the Huo family to fight in the south and the north, and even the female relatives of the Huo family collectively martyred the men of the Huo family and turned into coal. Women don't let the bravery of the eyebrows.
Even those who don't know about the Huo family are making up and making up some stories that make people's blood boil.
The students gathered in Beijing, the elegant, gathered in the Seven Star Building, feeling the sun, moon and emperor on the one hand, and on the other hand, they wrote words and songs with the inscription of loyal ministers and good generals throughout the ages.
In the palace, the emperor sat alone in the pavilion of the imperial garden and played chess alone.
Concubine Yu came over with a cloak and draped it on the emperor's body, "This snow has not melted, Your Majesty is like this, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Seeing that the emperor's face was not displeased, but with a smile, he asked, "Your Majesty, is you in a good mood, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”
The emperor dropped, put down the porcelain jar in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile,
"I failed to do some things, and I did the right things."
"Originally, I thought that if I made an edict against myself and publicized the crimes of the third child, I would make the people's grievances turn against the court, but now it seems that I still think wrong."
Concubine Yu lifted the kettle on the small red clay stove next to her, made a cup of tea for the emperor, and said,
"How come, Your Majesty has been thinking about it for more than 20 years, which time has not been a decision-making that has been carefully considered, you have been worried, but you have not dispelled this idea.
It is fortunate that Dongyuan can have a family of heroes like the Huo family, but it is also fortunate to have an emperor like you, the people don't like to kill, and they can have a peaceful life, of course, they live a peaceful life.
They are more likely to prefer kings who have the courage to face their mistakes. ”
The emperor pinched the teacup, sighed, and his expression became gloomy,
"It's a pity that I can rehabilitate them, but I can't bring back the lives of the Huo family."
He glanced at Concubine Yu,
"Every time I think of this, I feel sorry for my eldest brother, Huo Zheng was the eldest brother's companion back then, and the eldest brother died so miserably, it was Huo Zheng's ......"
Concubine Yu lowered her eyes, looked at the emperor who reached over and held the back of her hand, and said quietly,
"It's all in the past, isn't it? Now that I think about it, what I have obtained over the years has actually exceeded my expectations for more than 20 years, I have the emperor, and I am already content in this life. ”
The emperor's eyes were slightly red, and he let out a long sigh and said, "I hope that in the future, I will have the face to go down to see my eldest brother......"
"You won't blame me for treating Ah Wei like that all these years."
Concubine Yu paused and looked up,
"How come, you give him more love than those princes, even the crown prince, you just scolded him openly, and I don't know how much you have done for him in private, speaking of which, the only thing you owe is about the second prince."
"He was sent out by you early, and it is rare for him to enjoy his father's love."
"Ah Wei is much happier than him."
There was fluctuation in the emperor's eyes, and he hesitated,
"Speaking of which, the second child has also returned to the capital, handed me a message, and the person is gone."
"This kid, who has been out and about playing in the mountains and rivers all these years, is used to being wild, and this palace gate may not be able to close him."
Concubine Yu smiled at her, poured herself tea, and took a sip, "If Your Majesty wants to lock him up, he won't send him out of the palace back then." ”
The Emperor smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
……
The day of the imperial court election meeting will soon come, and the weather on this day is also the right day, the sun shines on the window lattice early, with a slight chill, and the breath of the breath also has a golden glow.
The festival will last for three days, and on the first day, the emperor will bring Yu Guifei, civil and military officials, and women to be present.
On the second and third days, only the masters of Jingtai Temple led the monks to open the altar to give lectures, and there were common people who were willing to chant the scriptures. But it must be under the unified command of the officials.
Before the festival began, Cui Hai read out the will, in which the names of all the heroes who died in vain were listed one by one, and everyone was calm and solemn during the whole process.
At the same time, His Majesty also issued a decree to Huo Qi, to the effect that because Huo Zheng was loyal to the imperial court, he made outstanding contributions during his lifetime, and was rewarded by the imperial court.
At the same time, the living Mi'er of the Huo family was named the county lord of Qingping, hoping that she would continue to show the light of female virtue for the Huo family in the future.
At the same time, Huo Qi was named the prince of the town.
Xu Han looked at Mi'er and Uncle Seventh below and kowtowed to thank him, and when he saw that the people below were all envious, they were vying to congratulate Huo Qi, and even some of the female dependents began to look at Mi'er, thinking about whether there was a boy of the right age in the family who could be married.
Xu Han's heart was filled with joy and sorrow.
No matter how prosperous the Huo family's glory and sorrow are, even if Mi'er and Seventh Uncle are awarded the title of noble, in Xu Han's heart, it can't compare to memory, the happiness of the Huo family when they are together.
If there was a choice, she thought, everyone would want to trade it all for everything they used to have.
It's just that regret has been cast, and now such a result can be regarded as a comfort for the Huo family's spirit in the sky.
Even if the winter sun is shining, it is not hot, and after kneeling for two hours in the morning, the prayer begins to rest at noon, and after the fast, it will continue.
On this day, Jingtai Temple is full of people coming and going, even if Jingtai Temple is the imperial temple of Jingshi, today it is also crowded, more noisy than any other time.
Xu Han walked and looked at the situation on all sides, and from time to time he was talking to Wei Ting.
was about to turn and go up the steps, when suddenly a person came to her, wearing a green jacket of Gebu, handsome and handsome, she couldn't help but stop and said,
"Ann...... Big boss, huh? ”
This person is clearly An Xiangchu, today, she went out with her mother, and it was the former groom who drove the car, and I heard her mother say that An Xiangchu was ready to leave.
What did he come to Jingtai Temple for? Today is the day of the imperial court ordaining the royal family and the clan relatives.
She frowned and looked at An Xiangchu.
An Xiangchu's eyes flashed slightly, and he saluted calmly,
"Little Lord."
His salute is not the salute of the common people, nor the salute that he should do as the head of the household, but a salute that is performed among ordinary generations, and even, faintly, it seems to have some lofty meaning.
