……

When the dragon walked into the main hall of Fengtai, he saw at a glance that the Empress Dowager Zhao was already waiting for him on the seat, but her expression was not as "very happy" as Miao Xian said, but she was angry, with a pair of slightly thick eyebrows raised, like an old hen guarding her chicks, and he touched the dragon, as if he was coming to take away the chicks under her wing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, she could guess what was going on when Touch Long entered the palace at this moment.

This obvious hostility made Touchlong can't help but smack his tongue, King Zhao Huiwen has a gentle personality, but the queen mother who married from Qi is a woman with a strong personality, if she talks about Chang'anjun with one mouth, will she ignore that she is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, spit on her face directly, and then let people blast out?

Oh, the reputation of his life can't be ruined today, otherwise he will be laughed at by the precocious Chang Anjun outside.

So the pace of the dragon slowed down, from the end of the hall to the front of less than fifty steps, he moved for a while, and when he reached only ten steps away from the Empress Dowager Zhao, the Empress Dowager's anger that had been in place for a long time was almost vented.

Facing this veteran of the Three Dynasties, who couldn't walk on the road, she really couldn't afford to lose her temper, so she had to say: "Master Zuo, please sit down, enter the palace today, what's the matter?" ”

Touching the dragon is not modest, kneeling on His Royal Highness's couch, coughing for a long time, clearing the phlegm, until the Empress Dowager Zhao is already a little impatient, then he apologizes and says: "I hope that the Queen Mother will atone for her sins, the old minister's legs and feet have committed the old problem again, and he can no longer walk quickly, since the death of the first king, he has not seen the Queen Mother for a long time." In this regard, although the old minister blamed himself, he still forgave himself in private...... But I was always worried that the queen mother's noble body was uncomfortable, so after thinking about it, I still entered the palace to visit the queen mother. ”

He narrowed his old eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Zhao carefully: "Let the old minister take a look...... It seems that these days, the Queen Mother has been a lot haggard. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao tilted her head and sighed: "I'm tired of Zuo Shigong's worries, the old woman is also old, and now she relies on sitting on the chariot and relying on people to carry her to move around." ”

Touching the dragon asked the Empress Dowager Zhao again: "Has the Empress Dowager's daily diet been reduced?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao replied absentmindedly: "Just drink some gruel and meat soup every morning and evening." ”

Touching the dragon smiled slightly, and talked to the queen mother about his health experience: "The old minister likes to learn from Huang Lao, this technique can not only govern the country, but also govern the body." There is a saying in the "Neijing" that the health of the wise man must conform to the changes of cold and heat at the four seasons, not too much joy and anger, temperate yin and yang and reconcile rigidity and softness, so that the disease and evil can not invade, so as to prolong life and not easy to age. ”

"When a person reaches fifty, his five internal organs have declined, his blood and qi are blocked, and his qi is on the top, so he has no appetite, and he must use frequent movement to dredge up and down. Therefore, although the old minister doesn't really want to eat recently, he reluctantly walks by himself, walking three or four miles a day, he slowly has a little appetite, and his body is much more comfortable. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao only thought that this was a common thing, and remembered that Chang Anjun had also persuaded herself, her anger dissipated slightly, and she just said helplessly: "Thank you Master Zuo, but the old woman can't do it!" The old woman's body, since the death of the first king, has been supported by the decoction needle stone......"

The queen was full of relatives, and the dragon couldn't help but be moved: "Please also ask the queen mother not to work too hard for state affairs, some trivial things, it is better to hand it over to the king to do, this court is still the king after all." ”

"Why doesn't the old woman know?"

Empress Dowager Zhao sighed, sometimes, she also wanted to leave the state affairs alone and just enjoy the joy of family, but before her husband died, she handed over Zhao Guo to her with her own hands, how could she live up to his trust? No matter how hard it is, you have to grit your teeth and continue to do it until you can't hold it anymore, or wait for Zhao Wangdan, who can't succeed, to become an adult and be truly sensible......

As soon as political affairs were mentioned, the topic between the two broke off slightly, and the dragon secretly said that it was not good, so he arched his hand again: "In fact, the old minister entered the palace today, and there is still one thing to ask for." Shu Qi, the son of Lao Chen, is the youngest and the least talented; And the minister is now old and frail, and he loves him even more in private. Therefore, I hope that he can fill the vacancy of the black-clothed guards in the palace to protect the palace. The old minister cheekily told the Queen Mother today, and hoped that the Queen Mother would allow ......"

……

The so-called black clothes are the palace guards of Zhao State, most of them are served by the children of nobles, these guards do not have to follow the generals to the front line to throw their heads and spill blood, it is a relatively safe military position, and they can also accompany the king, and they are often promoted, which is a shortcut to promotion.

Is Lao Touchlong thinking about his own future? After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhao was a little funny: "Master Zuo is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and this little request is unavoidable." By the way, how old is Shu Qi now? ”

Touching the dragon smiled: "Cheap is fifteen years old this year, although he is a little younger, but the old minister hopes to entrust him to the queen mother before he enters the ground!" ”

"Fifteen-year-old ......" Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned, this Shu Qi is the same age as her beloved son Chang'anjun.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Zuo, will you great husbands also love your little son?" ”

Without thinking, Touching the Dragon replied, "Of course, a man loves his young son more than a woman. ”

After touching the dragon and entering the palace, Empress Dowager Zhao showed a heartfelt smile for the first time, and asked rhetorically: "More powerful than a woman?" The old woman didn't believe it. ”

Because the day before yesterday in this Fengtai, Xiang Bang Lin was similar, the general Lian Po, Pingyuan Jun, Ma Fujun, these generals who also had sons in the family were crowned kings, but they didn't understand her feelings at all, and only knew to force her to endure the pain of cutting her love......

Touching the dragon pretended to be confused: "This is natural, because in the eyes of the old minister, the degree of the queen mother's love for Chang'anjun is not as good as her love for Queen Yan!" ”

"Master Zuo, you are wrong."

Empress Dowager Zhao immediately shook her head and denied: "My love for Empress Yan is far inferior to Chang'anjun's ......."

Thinking of her well-behaved and filial son, who has become more and more sensible these days, Empress Dowager Zhao's heart warmed, and the water spilled by her married daughter was still her son who could stay by her side and comfort herself.

"Is that so?"

Touching the dragon made a very surprised look, and said: "Lao Chen has always thought that parents love their children and will think about the long term for them. ”

"Five years ago, the Queen Mother sent Empress Yan to get married, and when she boarded the car, she actually held her ankle and cried, which was a pity for her to marry in the cold north at a young age. After Empress Yan went to Jidu, the Queen Mother often missed her, but whenever she sacrificed, she would pray for her and say, 'Don't come back!' The Queen Mother is making long-term plans for her, hoping that she can be in the Yan Kingdom for a long time, consolidate her position, and be the king of Yan from generation to generation with the descendants born to the King of Yan. The old minister speculated like this, but was he right? ”

This is a fact, Empress Dowager Zhao nodded: "Yes, what Master Zuo said is right. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother listened, Touching Long took the opportunity to say: "If the old minister is not mistaken, starting from Zhao Xiang's division of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Liehou as the princes, until the King of Wuling, in the past hundred years, the descendants of the Marquis of Zhao have been named feudal monarchs, but there are still descendants to inherit the fief title?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao had already heard some clues, but she couldn't deny it, so she had to say: "Nothing." ”

The characteristics of the feudal monarch system are that the fief and the jue Lu stop together, at most two or three generations, even the son of Zhao Suhou, the son of Anping Jun, who was once powerful, and his grandson Zhao Mu is now also white, not to mention those royal feudal monarchs who are like carp across the river, if there is no merit, it is difficult to exceed ten years.

Touching the dragon chased after him: "Not only the Zhao State, but also the other princes, the descendants of the monarchs of the past dynasties who have been crowned princes and marquises, who else can pass on more than three generations and enjoy the fief lordship?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao shook her head with difficulty: "The old woman has never heard of it." ”

Even the Qi country she is most familiar with, the princes and heirs of Qi who were once prominent and known as "Zhutian", are like withered autumn leaves, and they have fallen completely, and they are no more than three generations.

"The feudal kings of the princes, among them, the calamity that came early befell them, such as the king of Yangcheng of the Chu State. Evil that comes late will befall the children and grandchildren, and the fiefs will be taken away, and the lords will be collected. Could it be that the descendants of Gongzi and Gongsun must be unscrupulous? Not really. The old minister secretly thought that the reason why this was the case was because these people had a high status and a rich fortune, and they were all favored and doted on by the royal family for a while, but they did not have corresponding meritorious achievements. ”

Touching the dragon at this time, his back was not hunched, the phlegm was not clear, and he got up and said: "Now the Queen Mother respects the position of Chang'an Jun, and seals him with a place of anointing and gives him treasures and heavy weapons, it seems that this is loving him, but in fact it is harming him!" Once the Empress Dowager's mountain collapsed, Chang'an Jun had no size in the Zhao State, why did he occupy these fiefdoms, and why did he gain a foothold in the Zhao State? The more fiefdoms you have, the more jealousy you will arouse! Therefore, in the eyes of the old minister, the Queen Mother's plan for Chang'anjun is too short, far inferior to Empress Yan......"

At this point, the true purpose of touching the dragon into the palace has been revealed, but the Empress Dowager Zhao did not spit on him, although it is exactly the same as what the four ministers of Zhao said that day, but every sentence of the dragon is from the position of "long-term consideration for Chang'anjun", so it sounds not only not harsh, but very reasonable.

Empress Dowager Zhao was silent, she was reminiscing about Touching Long's words.

After half a ring, he nodded and said: "Master Zuo's heartfelt words, the old woman knows, what do you mean......"

Touching the dragon did not shy away from saying: "Now that Qin Yan is horizontal, Qin is attacking Zhao Sancheng, Yan Guo also has an ambiguous attitude, and Zhao Guo is likely to be attacked on his back." At this moment, Zhao is in urgent need of foreign aid! It is better to take this opportunity to let Chang'an Jun go to Qi as a hostage in exchange for Zhao Qi. When the external troubles are eliminated, Chang'anjun will naturally be able to return safely, and at that time, he will be a great hero who has contributed to the country, and is grateful and loved by the Zhao people......

Thinking that her most beloved youngest son could not serve in front of her knees, but wanted to stay away from him, the Queen Mother pinched the Luanshou staff in her hand, and her heart was like a knife.

"The truth is right, the old woman is not a person who doesn't know the general situation, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Mingyue doesn't understand this good intention for his long-term consideration, after going to Qi Kingdom, blame me for not loving him......"

Touching the dragon laughed: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, as the saying goes, you know your son Mo Ruomu, but you look down on Chang'an Jun, he is no longer an ignorant anointed son, but a husband who wants to take the initiative to take responsibility for the country!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao looked confused: "What does Master Zuo mean by this?" ”

Touching the dragon said: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, before the old minister entered the palace, he met Chang'an Jun outside and had a deep conversation with him." Chang Anjun also understood the difficulties of the Queen Mother and the crisis of the Zhao State, and it was he who took the initiative to ask the old minister to persuade the Queen Mother to let him go to the Qi State to be a proton! ”

……

"What!?" This is something that Empress Dowager Zhao never expected.

While speaking, he saw a figure approaching from outside the hall, it was Chang'anjun, the beloved son of Empress Dowager Zhao.

Under the encouraging gaze of the dragon, Mingyue walked in front of the Queen Mother and bowed to the ground, although he didn't say a word, but that meticulous gesture showed his determination!

Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't help but think of the day before yesterday, also in the inner room of the main hall, Chang'an Jun mentioned that he was willing to share his worries and go to Qi as a hostage.

The Queen Mother just kept a straight face, staring at Mingyue quietly, and after a long time, she sighed.

"Son, do you want to leave as a mother so much, do you want to go to Linzi?"

As soon as these words came out, Mingyue's body was shocked, in his previous life, he was high-spirited to apply for a university in another province after the college entrance examination, and when he left home far away, his old father also sighed like this......

At that time, he didn't understand, but now he understands.

The emotions of the past life and the present life converged into a line at this moment, Mingyue raised her head, and the Empress Dowager Zhao found that he had burst into tears, and two lines of clear tears flowed down his cheeks......

Biting his lip, the fifteen-year-old boy said in a voice with a hint of crying: "There is an old saying, it is called parents are here, and they don't travel far!" Mingyue thought so, if she could, she would like to be by her mother's side forever. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao only felt a burst of pain in her chest, stroked it with her hand, and said, "Do you know that there are many risks in going to Qi Country?" ”

Mingyue replied: "My son also knows a foreign country, where can I compare to Handan's comfort?" There, there is no love from the queen mother, no deep friendship with brothers, and even the language is strange and difficult to understand......"

He clearly realized the danger and unknown of being a hostage, but he still had to go, Empress Dowager Zhao was distressed and angry, her emotions were intertwined, and she scolded angrily: "Then why do you have to go?" ”

"Because, the son wants to relieve some of the work and worries for the queen mother."

"The queen mother has sheltered her son for fifteen years, whether it is summer hail or winter snow, frost and biting frost, she has blocked her son one by one. But the queen mother, the years are not forgiving, watching the queen mother getting old, the sideburns have more white hair, and the body is not as good as day by day, how can the child let the mother and offspring suffer again? How can you watch the queen mother's heart broken for national affairs anymore, and secretly cry and sigh in the middle of the night? ”

Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned, she swallowed all those hardships by herself, hid them in the solid armor called "Queen Mother", and never said it to anyone, Mingyue actually knew it?

"Of course my son knows, because mother and son are connected!"

Mingyue patted her little chest with her hand and said loudly: "Now, although my son's wings have not yet fully grown, the goshawk on the cliff, if it is not trained in the wind, it is not an eagle, but a cowardly and incompetent chicken!" As the heir of the Zhao family, the son of the first king and the queen mother, I don't want to be a chicken perched on a low turf, I want to be an eagle soaring in the sky! ”

"The water flows low, people go high, and they want to go outside, to learn more knowledge, to see a wider sky. The queen mother will stay with me for half a year, and when the son returns, not only will I return you to an unscathed son, Mingyue, but also spread my wings to protect the queen mother! ”

"You kid, talk big ......"

Empress Dowager Zhao's heart was bitter and sweet, mixed together, it became indescribably sour, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"Chang'anjun is really pure filial piety......"

Seeing that the empress dowager's complexion eased slightly, the eunuch who came in with Chang Anjun made Miao Xian lose no time in wiping away tears.

Touching the dragon also praised Mingyue: "The Queen Mother is blessed, although she was born in the same year, Chang'an Jun is countless times stronger than Shu Qi, the unscrupulous boy of your family and me." ”

As a mother, she likes to hear others praise her son, and Empress Dowager Zhao is no exception, and the anger caused by Mingyue's deception turned into relief in an instant.

That's right, everything he did was because of filial piety, and his love for him was not in vain.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhao was no longer angry, Mingyue took the opportunity to say again: "I hope the queen mother can know, in addition, my son also wants to do something for Zhao Guo." “

For this reason, the Queen Mother is still disdainful: "A little weak crown and a child, I don't know the future at all, but I have to bear a big responsibility." ”

"The queen mother's words are wrong!"

Mingyue stood up straight, facing the Empress Dowager Zhao and the dragon, he spread his arms, and with the wide sleeves of the chapter uniform, he made an eagle spread his wings, hit the sky, saluted them, and said loudly:

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it be avoided because of misfortune!?"
