"General, now that the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom have news, you see if we should make a move." Fu Gongtuo said to Du Fuwei: Du Fuwei closed his eyes and did not answer for the time being:

"Brother Yi, you are talking!" Duvowe half-opened his eyes.

"Gongtuo, if there is chaos today, fighting everywhere, even if we are in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Mill, who occupies Jingxiang Bashu, is eyeing us, our main army must not move, once we move, then Xiao Milling will inevitably attack us, and the people of Jiangnan will suffer."

"But the heirloom jade seal."

"The jade seal is just a jade seal, only people's hearts and people's livelihood are the most important."

"But!" Du Fuwei closed his eyes again, and Fu Gongtuo had no choice but to shut up, because he knew that what Du Fuwei said made sense, and after arriving in Danyang, Du Fuwei began to ignore the world, but the prestige in the army was still there. Fu Gong Tuo was about to leave, but Du Fuwei stopped him:

"Send a messenger to Le Shou and send some gifts to the Empress Dowager Xiao and the emperor, and it will always be a return to the monarch and ministers."

"Yes!" Fu Gongtuo turned and left. In Jiangxia, Jingzhou, Xiao Mo convened his confidants and important ministers to discuss:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that this king has received the exact news, this king's aunt and nephew have appeared in Dou Jiande, this king means to welcome back his aunt to fulfill his filial piety, I don't know what you think?" After listening to Xiao Miao's words, everyone present glanced at each other first, and Dong Jingzhen said first:

"King! This matter is not in a hurry, the minister thinks that now we should speed up the siege of the city and seize the land, and expand the strength is the best policy, as for the matter of welcoming back the queen mother, the minister thinks that there is no hurry. ”

"No hurry! You must know that it is the aunt of this king, and it is the flesh and blood of this king, when this king was poor, it was the care of the queen mother, if this king did not go to welcome back, his conscience would be uneasy! Besides, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongtuo have also sent people to greet them, if this king doesn't send people to welcome them back, this morality can't be passed! Also, I heard that the jade seal of the country has appeared, so I just sent someone to try the authenticity. After hearing this, everyone understood what Xiao Mo meant.

"King! Have you ever been to a market or an antique treasure shop? In the Sui Dynasty, his father Cen Zhixiang, who had served as the commander of Handan County, was framed by a traitor, and Cen Wenwen went to Sili to complain for his father at the age of fourteen. His father's unjust imprisonment was revealed, "from being well-known". When Xiao Mo was called king, he heard that he was living in seclusion in Jiangling, and specially hired him as a secretary Lang, who was responsible for the polishing of the edict.

"Lord Cen, above this court, what kind of nonsense is in the market, it's just nonsense." Dong Jingzhen first accused Cen Wenwen, Xiao Mo waved his hand to stop it, and asked Cen Wenwen to continue.

"In that market, there are often robberies because of the number of texts, and there are people robbing and fighting for the number of texts, so the shopkeeper of the antique treasures often hires a big man and a fierce dog to protect his own hospital, and the Empress Dowager Xiao is the treasure of the world, and the prestige is still there, Luo Yi is a case in the courtier of Dou Jiande, and the jade seal of the country is also a symbol of the imperial power of the country, and anyone who wants to be called the emperor wants to get it, so if you want to protect the treasure, you must first strengthen yourself, Du Fuwei knows this truth, so he only sent an envoy to give gifts, and did not take action. Therefore, the minister agreed with Dong Sima's words. ”

"Then where are we going to develop according to Lord Cen?"

"Now Du Fuwei in the east is not advisable, and there are many wars in the Central Plains, even if it is useless, the minister thinks that it will develop towards Lingnan."

"Lingnan! It is desolate, and it is inhabited by barbarians, and there is nothing to occupy. Cen Wenwen smiled when he heard it:

"At that time, Sima Co was the main force to fight for Bashu, and Bashu at that time was also a barren land, but after decades of development by the Qin State, it became the land of abundance and the granary of Guanzhong! The Han king Yibashuer held Guanzhong for many days, so there is no barren and desolate land in the world, only manpower governance. Lingnan is located in the south, its people are strong, if the people are brave, can strengthen our military might, and in the next young is to have been there to travel, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is warm, the products are abundant, the rice can be more than a year ripe, if a large area of planting can be for the military and civilian food, it is located by the sea, there are many business travelers, overseas treasures and treasures are gathered, there are so many benefits in the land of Lingnan, this is called a heavenly land, the king should make a decision as soon as possible! Cen Wenwen never lies, so everyone did not refute it.

"Good! Then, according to what everyone said, only send greetings, do not send troops to welcome back, and wait and see! Another thing about sending envoys, well! Mr. Text! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I'll leave the matter of going to Leshou to say hello."

"Obey the order!" Le Shou - Dou Jiande's palace:

"Madame, ma'am!"

"Husband! Something big is wrong. ”

"Du Fuwei and Xiao Mo heard that Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi were here, so they sent people to see them with generous gifts, and said that they would also let us arrange an audience, what do you think we should do?"

"Husband, since they are all guests, as for the matter of the audience, in my opinion, let them see it, and it must be solemn, so as to show the illusion that we are allied with them, and it can also elevate our status." Listening to Mrs. Cao's words, Dou Jiande stretched out his thumb.

"Madame Takami!" Mrs. Cao looked at Dou Jiande's distant back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. 'I have been a husband and wife with you for so many years, I know in my heart that you are a righteous and bright man, as long as the Empress Dowager Xiao is more and more in the open, you will not hide Jiao. The more relieved I will be. In order to make the envoys feel the respect for the Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi, the annex where the Empress Dowager Xiao lived was extremely luxuriously furnished, and in the evening, Zhang Huiyu, a special envoy sent by Cen Wenwen and Fu Gongtuo, accompanied by Dou Jiande and his wife, came to the annex:

"Ministers see the queen mother, see the emperor!"

"Get up, flat! Ladies and gentlemen, the little woman is only a poor person now, how dare the little woman be such a big gift! ”

"Queen Mother, since ancient times, the courtesies of monarchs and ministers have been different. You have been the mother of the world one day, and the ministers will respect you one day, and they will not change for life. Cen Wenwen was respectful, but Zhang Huiyu was not so good.

"Lord Dou, you said that this woman and that little child are Empress Dowager Xiao and His Majesty Yang Qi, I don't know what evidence there is."

"Lord Zhang, what do you mean by this, are you saying that this king is lying to you!"

"Don't dare! I just heard that the jade seal of the country was by the side of the Queen Mother, and I asked the Queen Mother to take out the jade seal as a witness. Zhang Huiyu's words were approved by many people present, that is, Mrs. Cao has always wanted to see what the jade seal looks like, and originally wanted to ask the Empress Dowager Xiao for it, but was stopped by Dou Jiande, and this time she just seized the opportunity.

"The Queen Mother! The concubine heard that the jade seal of the country is made of He's bi, after the lamp is extinguished, it can naturally fluoresce, in order to save the candle lamp, only the jade seal is used at night to illuminate the reading rules, I don't know if it's true or not. Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said to Mrs. Cao:

"Madame smiled, this matter is an anecdote in the palace, and the little woman doesn't know whether it's true or not, but since someone questioned it today, the little woman took out the jade seal and made a certificate in front of everyone." With that, he got up and went into the back room and took out a box. And he ordered all the candles in the house to be extinguished. Immediately, the room became pitch black, suddenly, in the direction of the Empress Dowager Xiao, people felt a trace of light shooting out, slowly, the light became brighter and brighter, although there was no light before the candle was extinguished, but the human face could also be seen clearly, it turned out that the Empress Dowager Xiao had opened the box, and a jade seal was presented, the light was emitted by the jade seal, and there was a trace of blood on the jade seal, and there was a purple breath on the jade seal.

According to historical records, when Bian He discovered Puyu, no one agreed with his point of view, cut off his feet, he hugged this treasure jade and cried for three days and three nights, and his blood and tears melted into the jade. After making the He's Bi, the blood stains could not be erased. After Qin Shi Huang obtained it, it was made into a jade seal, and today I finally know that the ancients did not deceive me. Mrs. Cao praised. A pair of greedy eyes stared at the heirloom jade seal, and did not leave for a long time.
