A night of sweet dreams, this sleep is really good, the next day without Qiao'er to shout, the day just dawned, Zhou Bian woke up by himself, jumped up, it is a new day, September 14, this will be a day that will go down in history forever. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Coming to the hall in the front yard of the palace, Zhou Bian was complacent because he got up early, Mo said that the king got up early, and there were more early risers, at this time, the hall was already full of people, the master and the young master and others were there, that is, even the queen mother among the ** was among them, and he was the latest to come.
After seeing the Queen Mother and the Taishi and others, Zhou Bian sat down on the upper seat, it was the Queen Mother who nagged, today is the day of great joy for the royal family, and the weak royal family can recapture the sealed Luoyang by itself, it is really a celebratory thing, everyone in the hall has a smile on their faces, even the young master and young master and others who have always had a straight face.
Seeing the protagonist King come in and sit down, everyone stepped forward to say goodbye, first the Taishi, the young master, and the young master, and then the six Qings such as Tsukazai, Sima, and Sikong, and then Wang Sunman, Liu Zixi, Shan Wen, Jian Jia and others, almost all the important ministers in the royal family came, and there was a row of joy in the hall.
After the ministers congratulated the joy, it was the queen mother who spoke, "Wang'er, today is a day of great joy for my royal family, my royal family has been in Chengzhou for more than a hundred years, at the beginning it was too chaotic in Luoyang City, and later because Luoyang was given to the Duke of Zhou, so although the royal family wanted to return to Luoyang, but it has not been able to do it." But today, my son has done it, and the ancestors and kings will definitely be overjoyed if they know it underground. ”
"This is the full support of the Queen Mother, the result of the concerted efforts of all the ministers, the king is just sitting back and enjoying the success, but the queen mother is praising the king." Zhou Bian arched his hand.
"My son is so modest and cautious, and his future achievements will definitely be above many previous kings, even if my son can't have the ability of King Xuan Zhongxing, he will definitely be able to make the princes of the world dare not underestimate my royal family, hehe." Knowing Zhou Bian's efforts all along, the Queen Mother was very complacent. The ministers in the hall immediately congratulated the queen mother, and the mountain called this the merit of the queen mother, and praised the queen mother.
After the ministers finished congratulating, they only heard the Queen Mother say again, "Wang'er, if you leave for Luoyang today, the Queen Mother will not go with you first, after all, I have been in Chengzhou for so many years, and I really can't leave it for a while." When you are stable in Luoyang in the future, the queen mother will move over. You can take all the soldiers in Chengzhou City away, you don't have to worry about the queen mother. ”
This was discussed in advance, because Zhou Bian knew that although he could sleep in Luoyang Ming Palace tonight, he was still far from the royal family completely mastering Luoyang. So Zhou Bian persuaded a few words, and finally nodded reluctantly.
Thinking that the time is not early, it is time to go, Zhou Bian looked at the Taishi eagerly, hoping that the Taishi would invite the king to go on the road, but before the Taishi could speak, the Queen Mother continued, "This time the Wang Shi returned to Luoyang, Bai Gui has the greatest credit, but I don't know how my son is going to reward the Bai family?" ”
Not wanting the Queen Mother to suddenly ask this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be stunned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, but then said, "Didn't you already say to the Queen Mother, if you recapture Luoyang according to Bai Gui's plan, you can make Bai Gui the prime minister." ”
Sure enough, the Queen Mother shook her head, "On that day, the palace just said it casually, and it shouldn't be true." Besides, Bai's advice, although the credit is great, but it is still my royal family's contribution, and my royal family below the Taishi and young masters and others also have merit, it is not appropriate to re-seal the Bai family alone, this palace thinks that Bai Gui is now a doctor, and it is enough to be crowned as a doctor, what does the prince think? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Bian's mind turned quickly, but at this juncture, it was really inconvenient to argue with the Queen Mother in front of the ministers, so Zhou Bian pondered for a while, and then agreed, "But it depends on the arrangement of the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "My prince must be in a hurry now, and it's time to set off for Luoyang, so the Queen Mother won't say much." I just heard that Wang Er was assassinated the night before, and God bless me Da Zhou so that my Wang Er escaped a catastrophe, but I still have to guard against it. Some time ago, the queen mother ordered the palace craftsman to use fine iron to create a pair of armor, and Liu Qing rushed to finish sewing it yesterday, so Wang Er put it on and went to Luoyang City. The Liu family is waiting for you at the gate of the palace, hehe. ”
After saying that, the queen mother got up and walked to the backyard, and the ministers hurriedly stood up to see each other. After waiting for the Queen Mother to go away, the Taishi bowed down, "The ministers respectfully invite my king to go to Luoyang." ”
The ministers hurriedly shouted together, and Zhou Bian walked out of the hall with his head held high in the midst of everyone's salute. The Taishi and others followed closely and went out of the main hall, and all the ministers who were scheduled to go to Luoyang with the king were gathered, including the Taishi, the young master, the mound Zai, Sima Tu, Wang Sunman, Jian Jia and others, and the left-behind ministers headed by the young master were sent directly to the palace gate under the leadership of the young master.
At the gate of the palace, Liu waited with Qiao'er, Liu Ruoshui and several other maids, and when they saw the king coming, they hurriedly saluted. Zhou Bian approached him, and two guards behind Liu Shi carried a set of armor, only to see that this armor was made of extremely precision, the inner lining was cowhide, and the outside was a layer of pressed iron sheets, the iron pieces were polished very smooth, shining under the morning sun. But Zhou Bian frowned, is it so heavy to wear it yourself, sure enough, with the help of the guards, after Liu carefully tied the strap for Zhou Bian, Zhou Bian's whole body seemed to be a few centimeters shorter, Rao has been boiling up for so long, but he still feels very heavy, and he feels unbearable just by standing, and he doesn't talk about it when he takes two steps. Zhou Bian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but thinking that the Queen Mother and the Liu family were also kind, he had to endure it, but after settling down in the Ming Palace, he would definitely take it off as soon as possible.
However, as the king, there are naturally people waiting, Zhou Mi brought people up to support Zhou Bian on the left and right, and his body was suddenly much lighter, and he helped Zhou Bian into the carriage and sat down, and the Taishi turned around and sent the young master and others who sent him off. And Zhou Bian looked at Liu, but saw this little girl smiling with spring in her eyes, it was in the early autumn when Xiao Xiao was about to become cold, Zhou Bian only felt that he was electrocuted, and it was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but bow his head. And Liu saw that Zhou Bian noticed him, and after smiling, he turned around and walked to the back of the team, she and her maid were also going to follow the king to Luoyang, otherwise who would serve the king at night? As the only woman designated by the Queen Mother, the Liu family naturally has a carriage of her own, but Qiao'er and the others can only follow on foot.
After bidding farewell to the young master and others, the Taishi also boarded a carriage, and the team set off to the west, and soon went out of the west gate, outside the west gate, Pang Xingzi and the two led 600 soldiers, and more than 300 soldiers from Gongyi Xintou were also under the leadership of Li Ding, and the queue was waiting. This is his own reliance in Luoyang, Zhou Bian raised his hand with great difficulty, and arched his hand at several generals and all the sergeants, and sure enough, he won a burst of cheers. Immediately, more than 1,000 people marched towards Luoyang, the flags were flying, the carriages were galloping, and the ancient road was full of festive colors.
At the same time, a simple carriage also went out of Chengzhou, but it was out of the east gate to the east, although no one sent it off, but Liu Zixi on the carriage was full of energy, as the newly appointed administrator of Gongyi of the royal family, Liu Zixi was put on the seal.
After the royal family's brigade galloped westward for dozens of miles, seeing that they were about to see the city of Luoyang from afar, Zhou Bian ordered the whole team to stop and rest. The discipline of these three armies is obviously much stronger than the other two armies in Luoyang, and the soldiers of the royal family rested quietly in place after receiving the order, while the soldiers of Gongyi did not dare to make a loud noise when they were infected, and the entire resting place was neat and orderly, which was exactly what Zhou Bian wanted.
As soon as the team rested, Liu came up with the maids, talked to the king to relieve his boredom, and poured some water for the king to drink. After talking to several beauties for a while, seeing that there was no one else around Liu, Qiao'er, and Liu Ruoshui, Zhou Bian asked the doubts along the way, "Ruoshui, has anyone in the palace seen the Queen Mother in the past few days, and it should have taken a long time to come out?" The Queen Mother's sudden change of attitude towards Bai Gui made Zhou Bian very incomprehensible, so Zhou Bian thought about it and felt that someone should have said that the Queen Mother had been moved.
And Liu Ruoshui is Zhou Bian's spies left in the palace, the little girl is very smart, her head is flexible, she has been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't have to do any work, but she plays everywhere, and she can practice a small mouth to be able to speak, and her sweet words are so sweet that everyone in the palace likes it, so Zhou Bian arranged for Liu Ruoshui to pay attention to the dynamics in the palace, joking, as a king, how can you not start from controlling yourself, and if you want to control it, you must know the news, so Liu Ruoshui has become Zhou Bian's spy head in the palace, secretly bribed a group of small temple people to find out the news for the eldest sister.
Sure enough, when he heard the king ask, Liu Ruoshui's little head turned and remembered, "The king, this is indeed the case, the day before yesterday, that is, on the afternoon of September 12, the young master entered the palace, and talked with the queen mother in the backyard for half an hour before leaving." ”
turned out to be this person again, Zhou Bian's eyes widened, and fire was about to burst out in his eyes, he didn't do anything, and he saw the incompetent person ascend to the throne, which was really the biggest obstacle to the revival of the royal family. Seeing the king suddenly change color, Liu Ruoshui was startled, "King, I am telling the truth, and there is no deception." ”
Zhou Bian came back to his senses and said with a smile, "If the water is not afraid, this king just thought of something else." You have done a good job, and King Rongben will reward you again in the future, hehe. ”
Unexpectedly, the little girl's face turned red, and she muttered in a low voice, "I don't appreciate your heavy reward." ”
Zhou Bian didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, but Liu Ruoshui refused to say more. After asking a few more questions, Liu stopped doing it, "The king is really boring, bullying the little girl." ”
After teasing Liu Ruoshui for a few words, Zhou Bian was in a good mood, and when he saw Liu's pretending to be serious and reprimanding himself, he couldn't help laughing, "Sister Qing is not a little girl, so how about this king bullying you?" As he spoke, he tried to raise his hand to get rid of the tickle of the Ha Liu clan.
Shocked Liu Shi hurriedly closed his eyes, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel that the king's little hand stretched out, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but he was happy when he opened his eyes, it turned out that the king's hand was only half raised, but because of the heavy armor, although the king was working hard, he still couldn't lift it. Liu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to press Zhou Bian's hand, "Okay, the king, you will be tired, let's rest first, let's go to the Ming Palace at night, wait for the slave family to take off this armor for the king, and the king will be powerful again, and you can bully the slave family as much as you want." ”
When Liu said this, he couldn't help but blush slightly, but Qiao'er and Liu Ruoshui simply lowered their heads. Zhou Bian was also surging in blood, and couldn't help but look straight at Liu, and Liu looked at each other not to be outdone, for a long time, finally Zhou Bian was defeated, lowered his head, but said happily in his heart, this is the real good woman in my China, fortunately, this will not be bound by etiquette, otherwise how could there be such a bold and open.
After chatting with a few women for a while, I heard the Taishi come and urge, "King, it's not early, let's hurry up." ”
Liu and the others hurriedly returned to their carriages, and Zhou Bian also sat down with the support of the guards, and as soon as the horn sounded, the royal family quickly gathered and developed westward.
After walking for a while, you can see the wide city of Luoyang under the golden autumn sun, as if opening its arms to welcome you. I don't know how many times I have entered Luoyang, but this mood is far from the previous times, I used to come for the livelihood of the royal family, in order to deal with the Duke of Zhou, but this time, I am going to become the master of the metropolis in the middle of the world, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be excited in his heart.
After walking again, getting closer and closer to the east gate of Luoyang, I could already see a large number of people gathered outside the Dingding Gate, black and pressing, presumably that is the Luoyang people who greeted him, thinking that this is the home that the royal family should be, thinking that this will be his home in the future, thinking that this will be the place where he will show his skills in the future, Zhou Bian straightened his waist excitedly.
