Chapter 259: The Warmth of Home

Besides, Liu Wei rushed back to Luoyang from Chang'an with hundreds of guards, and although he was assassinated, there were no casualties. After the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info, they continued to the east, passing through Hangu Pass, staying overnight at Hangu Pass, having a long talk with the general Xue Andu all night, appeasing Xue Andu's soldiers and horses, and starting again the next day.

At 10 p.m. the next day, Liu Wei and his entourage hurried back to Luoyang City.

Outside Luoyang City, hundreds of civil and military officials personally went out of the city to greet them, up to Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others, down to Luoyang City's officials, and guards the school. Hundreds of people gathered in Luoyang City at the Shili Station, waiting for Liu Wei to arrive.

However, after a while, Liu Wei finally arrived under the protection of hundreds of Royal Forest Army guards.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Liu Wei from afar, the ministers lined up on both sides of the road, shouted long live the mountain, and bowed to Liu Wei.

"How did you make it so grand?" Liu Wei rode his horse to arrive, turned over and dismounted, and frowned when he saw this scene.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for sweeping away Dong Zhuo and unifying Guanzhong!" The ministers shouted in unison.

Liu Wei suddenly realized, it turned out that it was because of this matter, he cleared his throat, and Liu Wei said with a straight face: "This is also thanks to the collective efforts of Zhong Aiqing, now that Dong Thief is dead, Si Liyong is calm, and Zhong Aiqing is still needed to work hard to benefit the people!" ”

"The ministers will do their best to benefit the people!"

"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest first!" Tai Lieutenant Lu Zhi saw that Liu Wei and the guards all looked tired, and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, if there is something, the court will talk about it tomorrow!" Liu Wei nodded, and entered Luoyang City in the support of the ministers, only to see that in Luoyang City, both sides of the middle carriage and horse road, surrounded by people, competing for the appearance of the Son of Heaven. Liu Wei did not squint, and rode his horse into the Luoyang Palace.

When I returned to the palace, I saw a person standing at the palace gate, looking at the palace gate with a weak body, waiting for Tang Wan. Liu Bian's heart warmed, he walked quickly to Tang Wan's side, grabbed Tang Wan's hand and said softly, "How long have you been waiting?" ”

"I didn't have to wait long, Your Majesty recovered Guanzhong, and the concubines are here to congratulate Your Majesty!" Seeing Liu Wei, Tang Wan smiled knowingly, bowed and smiled.

"When did you learn this? It's windy outside, follow me into the palace and say hello to the queen mother! Liu Wei led Tang Wan's jade-like Yirou towards the dormitory of the Empress Dowager He in the harem.

Although he came from later generations, Liu Wei had already followed the customs of the countryside and respected the etiquette and filial piety of the Han Dynasty. As soon as he entered the palace, Liu Wei went to the Empress Dowager He's bedroom to ask for peace.

"The child greets the queen mother!" Liu Wei and Tang Wan came to the Empress Dowager He's bedroom hand in hand, and greeted the Empress Dowager He together.

Empress Dowager He, who is only in her thirties, is very well maintained, as if she is only in her twenties, Empress Dowager He said with both hands: "The emperor doesn't have to be polite!" ”

Empress Dowager He asked Liu Wei and Tang Wan to get up, and the two sat opposite each other, with Tang Wan serving on the side.

"The emperor has been gone for two months, which makes the queen mother quite worried, this time to conquer Dong Zhuo, I heard that I met an assassin on the return journey, and I was not injured!" Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei and said with concern.

"Just a thief, how can you hurt me? What's more, I have a fierce general around me to protect me, although the queen mother can rest assured! Liu Wei smiled indifferently.

"The emperor is not young, but he is both civil and military, and he is much stronger than your father! Even Dong Zhuo's traitor was defeated in your hands, and in the future, even Emperor Gaozu Guangwu will not be able to compare to you! Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei's increasingly majestic physique and praised.

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "How can a child be able to compete with Gaozu Guangwu?" Just hope to keep the ancestral inheritance! ”

Regarding Liu Wei's modesty, Empress Dowager He couldn't deny it, and said with a smile: "I heard that your traitor Dong Zhuo was lit with a sky lantern, you really deserve it, and that evil Liu Xie also died under his own poisonous hairpin, and God really has eyes." ”

"The emperor's brother was just instigated, don't say that to the queen mother!"

"Okay, okay, let's not say that they have swept away the joy of the mourning family, the emperor, this time the mourning family urgently summoned you back, it is to give you a few family affairs, let you take a few concubines, and fill the harem!" Empress Dowager He said earnestly. It is really like the parents of later generations who urge their children to go on blind dates.

"Oh? Who are they? ”

"They are all ladies from big families, and the mourning family has been handed over to Da Honglu to handle it!" Empress Dowager He replied.

"Queen Mother, don't be in a hurry to take a concubine for the time being!" Liu Wei waved his hand.

"Not in a hurry? You are sixteen years old, and the others have already married and had children, but you are the son of heaven, but there is only Wan'er in the harem, how can this work? And Zhao Ji and Yang Miaozhen, don't you like it very much? Why don't you get married? ”

"Now that you have this great foundation, if you can't give birth to a prince, I'm afraid people's hearts will be unstable!" Empress Dowager He said urgently.

"The child is naturally saved, and Zhao Ji's sons will naturally marry, but Miaozhen is unwilling to enter the palace!" Liu Wei shook his head and said.

"Since she doesn't want to enter the palace, and you like to drive the royal expedition, it's good to have her personal protection and serve you when you're away, but since you like Zhaoji, and she is likable, then marry her first!"

"The matter of accepting a concubine, the child is provincial, but Wan'er, she lives and dies with me, I want to let her give birth to a son and a half daughter first, consolidate her position, and do the thing of concubine!" Liu Wei explained.

Tang Wan on the side heard that her eyes were slightly red, and she was extremely moved in her heart, and the Empress Dowager He glanced at Tang Wan and said with a smile: "The emperor is still a person who values love, whether it is good or not, so I will first shirk the matter of accepting a concubine, and when Wan'er is pregnant with a dragon seed, it will not be too late to accept a concubine." ”

At this moment, the Empress Dowager He also understood Liu Bian's thoughts, and the same was true of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, first pampered the Empress Dowager He and gave birth to Liu Bian, but later Liu Hong liked the new and hated the old, and spoiled Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren, and even planned to abolish Chang Liyu for a while.

Since Liu Wei is so affectionate, he first let Tang Wan conceive a dragon and take a concubine, presumably Tang Wan's status is unshakable, Empress Dowager He nodded with satisfaction, after all, Tang Wan has also followed her for several years, it can be said that she shares weal and woe, and Liu Wei uses Tang Wan to govern the harem, which is also what she is willing to see.

Empress Dowager He nodded, and then said with a blank face: "But the emperor, you have to be the one who speaks, and let the mourning family hug the emperor and grandson as soon as possible!" ”

"The first two years were just turbulent times, I had to fulfill my duties, so I stayed away from wine, but now the situation is gradually calming down, I am also an adult, and the Han urgently needs the prince to calm people's hearts, I will naturally let the Han royal family spread out!" Liu Wei touched His Majesty and smiled embarrassedly.

"My emperor really understands the righteousness and is not tempted by women, but what will happen in the future, don't be greedy for women, ignore the government, and learn from your mediocre father!" Empress Dowager He lectured.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the child is saved!" Liu Bianxin said that the Empress Dowager He was still a reasonable person, and nodded in agreement.

On this day, Liu Bian made it easy for Empress Dowager He to talk about the love between mother and son, and the three of them dined together.

It wasn't until late at night, when Empress Dowager He was a little tired, that Liu Wei and Tang Wan took their leave hand in hand and returned to their bedroom. (To be continued.) )
