Chapter 32: The Leap of the Fish
After that, the two disguised themselves on the road and finally arrived at Hu Ying's house in Linjing. Seeing the door of the house from a distance, Hu Ying couldn't help but lie on He Tong and cried bitterly, and still cried until he arrived at the door of the house.
Hu Ying's mother in the house heard the movement and came out to check, and when she saw that it was Hu Ying, she was so excited that she couldn't believe her eyes, and hugged Hu Ying and cried.
After Hu Yan received the news, he threw down the official duties of the county government and hurried home, hugged Hu Ying and asked, "Ying'er, where have you been in the past few months?" Daddy searched the entire Jingzhou City and couldn't find you! ”
Hu Mu couldn't help but complain: "You still say! If you had watched more firmly that day, how could we Ying'er suffer like this! ”
Hu Ying slowly stopped crying: "The daughter of the Lantern Festival was abducted by traffickers that day, and later she was kidnapped by the killer organization, fortunately, this Aunt He came to the rescue, otherwise her daughter really wouldn't be able to come back!" Inevitably frightened Hu Yan and his wife, Hu Ying did not reveal He Tong's true identity.
Hu Yan and his wife hurriedly thanked He Tong.
Hu Ying said again: "Daddy, Aunt He offended the killer organization because she saved me, and now she has nowhere to go, so it's better to let her stay in our house!" ”
Hu Yan nodded hurriedly: "No problem, no problem, Aunt He, you can stay here with peace of mind, we will protect you even if you die." ”
Later, Hu Yanguan became bigger and bigger, step by step from Linjing County to Jingzhou Thorn History. On this day, Hu Yingzheng was wandering on the streets of Jingzhou by herself, remembering the past when she was separated from her father here and wandered in the rivers and lakes, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Suddenly, I saw a group of people in front of me coming slowly from a distance, among which it was my father Hu Yan and another young man I didn't know who were walking in the front, pointing at the shops and houses along the street all the way, as if Hu Yan was introducing Jingzhou's achievements to that person.
"Daddy! Who are you showing off your achievements with? "In recent years, the people of Jingzhou have lived a prosperous life under Hu Yan's rule, and there are many shops in the city, which is several times better than when he was in office, so there are often officials at all levels in neighboring states who come here to learn from experience, and Hu Ying is no stranger to this.
Unexpectedly, this time Hu Yan's face changed greatly, and even his voice trembled: "Ying'er, don't be rude!" Why don't you come and meet Your Majesty! ”
Your Majesty? The elegant young man in front of him turned out to be the Great Wei Emperor Yuan Gang? Because of this name, Hu Ying used to think that His Majesty was a strong man with a rough appearance and a scumbag face, but now when he sees the real person, he realizes how ridiculous his subjective assumptions are.
"Ying'er!" It wasn't until Hu Yan urged again that Hu Yingfang came back to his senses, realized that his words just now were too frivolous, and hurriedly apologized: "The courtier's mouth is not covered, I hope to forgive you for offending Your Majesty!" ”
Yuan Gang was very easy-going, and said with a smile: "It's okay! Anyway! Not only did she have no sense of blame, but she also let her accompany her to inspect the entire Jingzhou City.
After that, because Hu Yan still had official business to report to Yuan Gang, Hu Ying left first. Until he returned to the mansion, Hu Ying was still uneasy, this was the most powerful man in Dawei, but he didn't seem to have any shelf on the outside, but he looked like a scholar. recalled Yuan Gang's mannerisms and conversations along the way, and he didn't feel that his cheeks were slightly hot.
"Ying'er! Exultation! Hu Yan's voice interrupted Hu Ying's faint and youthful thoughts, "Your Majesty said that he likes you very much and wants to include you in the harem!" On weekdays, when you say kiss, you always pick and choose, so that now you are old and have not found your in-laws, I can't imagine that there is really a providence in the dark, and I am actually favored by Your Majesty, this time I can't say it again! ”
"Ah...... Why did you ...... so quickly" Hu Ying's face flushed with shame in an instant, and she didn't know how to answer.
Hu Yan didn't care about what she said, and was immersed in his own chatter: "Your Majesty said that you will go back to Luoyang with him in two days, the road is not close, you can bring a few more sets of clothes, it doesn't matter if you don't bring it, you can buy it on the road." As for the rest of the daily necessities, there is everything in the palace, and His Majesty instructed that there is no need to purchase them deliberately. However, I am worried that you will have no one to accompany you in the new environment, but you can bring a few self-conscious maids into the palace with you, and accompany you to relieve your boredom, I think Xiaoyue is quite suitable! ”
He Tong on the side suddenly knelt on the ground when he heard this: "Master, can you allow the slave maid to accompany the young lady into the palace?" ”
Hu Yan's face showed embarrassment, after all, He Tong's face was too scary, and she was afraid that it would not have a good impact if she entered the palace.
Hu Ying saw Hu Yan's thoughts: "Dad, they all say that the harem is dangerous, Aunt He is meticulous, and she has been in the rivers and lakes, with her by her daughter's side, her daughter doesn't have to worry about being bullied when she enters the palace!" ”
Hu Yan didn't dare to agree: "I'll find an opportunity to ask Your Majesty tomorrow, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, then there is no way......"
It turned out that Hu Yan was still worried in vain, Yuan Gang not only didn't mind He Tong entering the palace together, but he admired the inseparable friendship between Hu Ying and He Tong. After entering the palace, Hu Ying was named his wife by Yuan Gang, and He Tong also served as a personal maid. Since then, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids have changed one after another, but He Tong has never left Hu Ying's side. It's just that since they entered the palace, everyone in the palace has followed Hu Ying and called her Aunt He, and no one knows her real name anymore.
In addition to Hu Ying, Yuan Gang's favorite concubine also had a Mrs. Song, and the two were pregnant with the dragon species almost at the same time. However, Hu Ying was lucky, giving birth to the emperor's eldest son Yuan Yao ahead of schedule, while Mrs. Song gave birth to Yuan Rui more than ten days later. After giving birth, Mrs. Song's health became worse and worse, and she died of illness within a few months. It was only at this time that Yuan Gang made up his mind to crown Hu Ying as the queen.
Not long after Hu Yingfeng, Yuan Gang also died of illness, and Queen Hu became the Empress Dowager Hu. Because the new emperor Yuan Yao was still in infancy, the military and political affairs were decided by the Empress Dowager Hu alone. After taking power, the first major thing Empress Dowager Hu did was to send a large army to exterminate the Night Wolf Alliance, and hung the head of the alliance leader Yao Wensheng in the head of Luoyang City for three days and three nights before the bones were crushed and scattered together with the corpse. At that time, there were voices of praise for virtue inside and outside the government and the opposition, and they all said that the queen mother was a good queen mother who eliminated harm for the people. It was only later that the Queen Mother promoted several younger brothers to the next level, and continued to cultivate her own power, even if Yuan Yao grew up, she still controlled the government and was unwilling to let go, and everyone's opinion of her slowly became what it is now.
After the Queen Mother stopped, Yuan Yao was still immersed in that past and couldn't extricate herself. The Queen Mother gently pushed him: "Yao'er, the Queen Mother is a little tired." ”
Yuan Yao returned to reality from the story: "The minister there will retire first, and the queen mother, you have a good rest!" ”
The Queen Mother slept for a while, and when she woke up the next day, she felt much better, and was leaning against the window to recuperate, when she suddenly reported that King Changle and Lord Tingwei Zhou urgently asked to see her. As soon as she heard that the two of them came together, the Queen Mother knew that it must be related to Hu Xiude's case, and these two people would not also want to bring Aunt He in, the Queen Mother was a little worried.
Yuan Rui and the others entered Danyang Palace with solemn expressions, and after saluting, Yuan Rui spoke first: "Empress Dowager, the ministers have arrested the murderer of Hu Duwei's case!" ”
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this, not only did the two not mention Aunt He, but also brought such good news, and leaned forward slightly unconsciously: "There has been no progress for a while ago, why did you suddenly catch the murderer?" ”
Yuan Rui: "Actually, the ministers didn't expect to catch him so quickly, all of this stemmed from an accident...... "As he spoke, he reported to the Queen Mother in detail the fact that Li Hui's envoy had mistakenly entered Sun Rong's military camp and that they had monitored Li Hui and found the murderer.
The Queen Mother repeatedly read Li Hui's name: "Li Hui...... Li Hui ...... suddenly his eyes were like lightning, "Arrest people quickly, and the mourning family must ask for clarification in person!" ”
When Yuan Rui and Zhou Zhengzhi broke into Li's mansion with soldiers, Li Huizheng was dining with his family. Seeing this formation, Li Hui seemed quite indifferent, and calmly said to Yuan Rui and the others: "Your Highness, Duke Zhou, can you allow the old man to finish this meal?" ”
Yuan Rui nodded: "Li Sinong is at his own convenience!" ”
The conversation between the two seemed to be gossip, but Li Lihua on the side was not so calm, Huo Di got up and stopped in front of Yuan Rui: "Why does Your Highness want to arrest my father, who in this Great Wei doesn't know that my father has worked hard for your Yuan family, and he has boiled his head early, so loyal minister, but you want to take him?" ”
Seeing that Yuan Rui was speechless for a while, Zhou Zhengzhi knew that he couldn't bear it, and replied on his behalf: "Li Sinong is indeed a good person, but if a good person violates the law, then he must also be punished, right?" ”
Li Lihua became even more angry: "Tell me which law of Dawei my father has violated?" ”
"Lihua!" Li Hui shouted, "Don't say it again!" Dad, this is deserved, and he can't complain about others! He put down his chopsticks and came to Yuan Rui's side: "Your Highness, the old man has something to ask for." ”
Yuan Rui: "Li Sinong, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Li Hui: "All the mistakes are made by the old man alone......"
Before Li Hui finished speaking, Yuan Rui preemptively replied: "As long as this king is still here, Liting and Lihua will be safe!" ”
Li Hui smiled and nodded, and Lao Huai was relieved: "Thank you, Your Highness, let's go!" ”
Everyone left slowly, and Li Lihua's heart-rending shout suddenly came from behind them: "Yuan Rui! I, Li Lihua, will never forgive you in this life! ”
Yuan Rui's heart twitched suddenly, like a knife, holding back the tears rolling in his eyes, and left quickly.
