Chapter 131: The Curtain Opens (End)
Zhongping five years, that is, 188 years, this year, the curtain of the world has been slowly opened, in March, Youzhou Thorn History Liu Yan on the book Emperor Ling, the abolition of Shi Limu is into this chaotic era, and at this time Yizhou Ba County Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Yan took the opportunity to ask Emperor Ling, went to Yizhou to quell the chaos, Emperor Ling, appointed Liu Yan as Yizhou Mu, Liu Yan got his wish to enter Shuzhong.
It was also this year that the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the world was quite revived, and the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil everywhere, first the Yellow Turban of Ba County, Yizhou, and then there were tens of thousands of troops raised by Guo Tai, a thief of the Yellow Turban in Baibo of Taiyuan Xihe, and after Guo Tai raised troops, Hedong County, Runan County and other places raised troops in response.
In the following months, Qingzhou, Xuzhou all over the Yellow Turban thieves resurged, making chaos in the states and counties, for a time the states and folds floated into the Luoyang Palace Emperor Lingdi like snowflakes, the Emperor Ling was furious, fainted on the main hall, for a time the court was chaotic, but fortunately, He Jin and a cadre of ministers worked together to stabilize the situation in the court.
Emperor Ling's body has declined rapidly in the past few years, and the ministers have already seen it in their eyes, and at this moment, they are afraid that it is not far from the limit, and many important ministers of the court have begun to plan for their future, and there has been an endless stream of people who have visited He Jin's mansion in recent times.
In the bedroom of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Ling was lying on the sickbed at this moment, and his originally obese figure had become much thinner at the moment, "Your Majesty~~~ It's time to drink medicine" A beautiful woman with a bowl of medicine came to Emperor Ling's bedside, and she was the queen of the Han Dynasty today, the sister of the general He Jin, and the sister of Li Feng's sister, He Qing.
"Ai Concubine~~ How is the court now?" At this moment, it has been a few days since the Spirit Emperor fainted, and the Spirit Emperor has woken up after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, but the Spirit Emperor at this moment is not easy to work with.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are brothers and ministers here, and there is nothing wrong with the court" He Qing helped the Spirit Emperor up, fed the medicine to the Spirit Emperor and said softly.
"Hmm~~~" When Emperor Ling heard this, he responded lightly, and asked He Qing to help him lean against the head of the bed.
"What about them?" Emperor Ling got up and looked around the bedroom, and found that there were only two palace maids except for the queen.
"Bian'er, Xie'er, and Yao'er all came to visit Your Majesty in the morning, but Your Majesty was still asleep at that time, and the concubines took it upon themselves to let them go back to study," He Qing said while sitting beside Emperor Ling.
"That's fine~~~ Bian'er and Xie'er are still young, and they still need to be disciplined by their concubines," Emperor Ling said with a smile on his face when he heard this.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the concubine naturally understands" He Qing nodded and agreed, for He Qing, Emperor Ling was still very relieved in his heart, after all, the two had been married for many years, although some unpleasant things had happened, but after the matter passed, Emperor Ling also figured it out, otherwise he would not have asked Liu Xie to come back from his mother and put him by He Qing's side.
"It's just that Yao'er makes me very worried," Speaking of his children, Emperor Ling always had a faint smile on his face, he didn't have many heirs, and now there are only three, the eldest daughter Liu Yao, who was born to her and the former queen, is now eighteen years old, and she should have married someone at such an age, but Liu Yao is unwilling to marry, Emperor Ling is in guilt for the former queen, and he is extremely fond of Liu Yao, so he has been delayed until now.
The eldest son Liu Wei, now only twelve years old, was born to him and He Qing, the current prince of the Han Dynasty, and finally the youngest son Liu Xie, Liu Xie is only seven years old now, his mother Wang Rong was poisoned by a traitor after giving birth to her, for this matter Emperor Ling almost abolished the position of Empress He Qing, but when Emperor Ling calmed down, he secretly doubted, but although Emperor Ling loved Wang Rong very much, he had scruples in his heart, and he did not dare to investigate the matter thoroughly, so it was over.
"Your Majesty, isn't you worried about Yao'er's family affairs?" Hearing this, He Qing asked, Emperor Ling had mentioned Liu Yao's personal affairs to him more than once, but due to Liu Yao's resolute opposition, it has been delayed until now.
"Yes, Yao'er is now eighteen, although I am today's son, but I am also a father" Emperor Ling nodded lightly.
"Alas~~ Actually, I know a thing or two about Yao'er who has always been resolutely opposed to relatives and concubines, but I have never dared to say anything to Your Majesty," He Qing hesitated for a while and said.
"Oh~~~ What the hell is going on, could it be that Yao'er has a heart, but it shouldn't be, Yao'er has never been out of the palace, is it a certain guard in the palace?" The Spirit Emperor frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat hurried tone.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, don't worry," He Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently patted the Spirit Emperor's chest to persuade.
"Alas~~~ How can I not be in a hurry, I should know that I feel very guilty about Yao'er's mother, so I have responded to Yao'er's requests over the years, but ~~~~~" said Emperor Ling sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the person in Yao'er's heart is not some palace guard or some unbearable person" He Qing knew Emperor Ling's worries.
"Oh~~ Who the hell is that?" The Spirit Emperor also calmed down at this moment.
"Your Majesty, do you remember Li Feng?" He Qing asked after carefully observing the Spirit Emperor's face.
"Oh~~ You said this kid, how could I forget, that is the Marquis of Changping, who was personally sealed by me, and has made great contributions to my Han several times before and after, speaking of which, I have really not heard from this kid for a long time" Speaking of Li Feng, a rare smile appeared on Emperor Ling's face.
"Hmm~~~ Could it be that Concubine Ai is saying that the person in Yao'er's heart is that kid?" Immediately, the Spirit Emperor reacted, turned his head to look at He Qing and asked.
"If the concubine expected it to be good, Yao'er has been reluctant to marry because of that kid" He Qing nodded slightly, and then paid attention to the expression of the Spirit Emperor quite nervously.
"That kid is worthy of my precious daughter, but if I'm not mistaken, this kid seems to have already made a family appointment," Emperor Ling smiled at first, but immediately put away the smile on his face.
"Indeed, Li Feng and Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, once made a family appointment," He Qing nodded.
"How can this be made, the daughter of the dignified emperor, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, how to give people ~~~~" It was really embarrassing to say this, and Emperor Ling couldn't say it anymore.
"This is the reason why the concubine has never dared to speak to His Majesty" He Qing saw that Emperor Ling didn't seem to be angry, and he was relieved in his heart.
"Hey~~~ I also love this kid very much, but unfortunately he has already made a family appointment, otherwise he would be my son-in-law, and the big man's concubine is also suitable" Emperor Ling shook his head and looked a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Cai has not heard from him since he left, although Yao'er is eighteen, but it is okay to wait for a year or two," He Qing said with deep comfort.
"Oh~~~ What do you mean by Aifei? Emperor Ling glanced at He Qing.
"Li Feng is sixteen this year, and he has reached the age of marriage," He Qing said.
"Hehe~~~ I have already understood what the concubine meant" Emperor Ling saw He Qing say this, and he had fully understood what he meant as a queen.
"It's been a year since this kid last came with news from Chang'an, and he didn't accept my reward" Emperor Ling put down this matter and actually talked about Li Fenglai.
"This concubine knows a thing or two," He Qing replied with a smile when she heard this.
"Oh~~ How did Concubine Ai know?" Emperor Ling asked curiously.
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Feiyang has a very good relationship with Bian'er and Yao'er, and has a sister-brother relationship with his concubines, so Feiyang often writes what he sees and hears along the road into letters to his concubines and Yao'er," He Qing replied with a smile.
"Oh~~ These boys also have a heart," Emperor Ling also smiled when he heard this.
Saying that, He Qing asked the palace maid to take the letter written by Li Feng, and then slowly read it to Emperor Ling, and Emperor Ling was also fine at the moment, but he also listened to it with relish, speaking of which Emperor Ling was not a natural emperor, he was originally born in Jizhou, and later after the death of Emperor Heng of Han, he was elected emperor by his cousin Dou.
"In this way, this kid is now in Xiangyang, Jingzhou" When He Qing finished reading the last letter, Emperor Ling stroked his beard and smiled.
"Exactly~~~" Seeing that the Spirit Emperor was a little tired at the moment, He Qing helped the Spirit Emperor to lie down again and said.
"This kid is leisurely, no, let me call Zhang Rang in," Emperor Ling said after lying down and thinking for a while.
"Yes" He Qing responded when he heard this, and went out to convey the will of the Spirit Emperor.
It didn't take long for the head of the Ten Standing Servants to be brought in, and Zhang Rang's appearance did not change in the past few years.
"Meet Your Majesty," Zhang Rang knelt down and bowed after entering.
"Give me a decree to Guanglu Doctor Lu Zhi, and ask him to summon his righteous son Li Feng into the palace to see me," Emperor Ling said lightly while lying on the bed.
"Yes~~~ The minion will do it," Zhang Rang took the order and left.
"Your Majesty, this is?" After Zhang Rang left, Empress He Qing came back to Emperor Ling and asked.
"Hehe~~~ This kid is now sixteen years old, and it's time to find something for him to do, it just so happens that there are rebellions everywhere now, this time let him go to quell these rebellions for me" Emperor Ling did not hide He Qing.
"But Your Majesty, Feiyang is so young, I'm only afraid of the courtiers' criticism," He Qing said worriedly.
"Hmph~~~ I am the emperor, my words are the will, who dares to disobey, and those ministers in the court are already old, it's time to need some young people," Emperor Ling said with a rare domineering attitude.
"What's more, although that kid is young, but his ability is much stronger than some ministers in the court, now is the time to employ people, and at this moment, he can also help him stand firm in the court, I need to leave some help for the debate" Emperor Ling said more and more quietly.
"Your Majesty is upright and in the prime of life~~~" He Qing hurriedly stopped Emperor Ling from continuing.
"Ai Concubine~~~ My body knows it," Emperor Ling raised his hand to stop He Qing and said.
"I am not orthodox, and I can ascend to the throne because of the Dou family, which also makes me unable to be controlled by others everywhere since I ascended the throne, so I hope that Bian'er will not follow my old path," Emperor Ling looked at the eaves and said lightly.
"Love the concubine and go, I'm tired," finally the Spirit Emperor waved his hand.
"Yes, the concubine is retiring" He Qing didn't know what to say at this time, and retreated according to her words.
"This is also the only thing I can do for the debate now," the Spirit Emperor muttered, "Li Feng, Li Feng, you must not let me down. ”
A day later, a fast horse came out of Luoyang and headed straight for Jingzhou.
