In the ninth year of Yonghe, in early autumn, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic of Chongde, after days of preparation, the whole Jiankang City presented a festive and harmonious image! Inside the palace, it is even more colorful, so lively!

On this day, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic, first sacrificed to the heavens and the earth, and after worshipping the ancestors and ancestors, she came to the main hall to give a banquet to the princes and nobles, ministers of the court, and noblewomen who came to congratulate their birthdays!

In this hall, which is only an important ceremony of the imperial court, will be opened, hundreds of banquets will be held at this time, and the entire Jin Dynasty, all the princes and nobles above the marquis, as well as the officials above the history of the assassin, as well as those families and noblewomen, have gathered here to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Chongde!

In addition, thousands of tables of wine and food were set up in the square in front of the palace, and those whose titles were under the marquis, as well as those whose official positions were not obvious, were all arranged here to congratulate the Empress Dowager Chongde!

This day is the 40th birthday of the Empress Dowager Chongde, and the Hu people invaded the border, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of the government and the wilderness, in order to show the demeanor of the great country, the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager not only feasted these dignitaries, but also the ruling Jinwu of the Gongwei Jingshi, each of whom rewarded a jar of imperial wine and two catties of cooked meat, in order to reward them for their hard work in the past!

Chongde Empress Dowager Chu garlic, a life of ill-fated people, and twice the curtain to listen to the government, both in the court and the opposition, all enjoy a very high popularity, the Queen Mother's birthday, not only in the palace ban, the entire Jiankang City all the people, whether it is a businessman or a pawn, everyone is brightly dressed, all of them are smiling, as if the New Year!

On this day, Jiankang City, on this day of the Jiangnan government and the opposition, a prosperous scene of celebrating with the whole world and enjoying with the people! As everyone knows, after this peaceful and peaceful celebration, there are many ghosts and thoughts and how many monstrous disasters are revealed!

The former general Mengxin, because he was not awarded the title of official of the Jin Dynasty, did not go to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother's birthday. After all, at the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Chongde, everyone knelt down to congratulate her, and Mengxin neither wanted to bow down against her will, nor did she want the Empress Dowager Chongde to be embarrassed, so after thinking about it, she just sent someone to send him to congratulate her, and he stayed in the palace of the King of Qin, drinking and eating meat with the one hundred and ten Iron Eagle swordsmen of the Qin army!

As for Meng Ling, as the princess of Qin, she is also the daughter of the Queen Mother, and on the birthday of the Queen Mother, Meng Ling is naturally also invited to the banquet! After the birthday banquet began, everyone knelt down and bowed nine times, and after a round of congratulations, they all sat down, and Meng Ling sat down with some noble ladies in the court, fortunately, these noble ladies and Meng Ling are also familiar with each other on weekdays, but they also talk very happily, and the atmosphere is harmonious!

Chu Garlic, the Empress Dowager of Chongde, calmly accepted everyone's kneeling and congratulations, and looked around: "Ling'er, a good girl from the mourning family, where is she?" ”

Seeing the Empress Dowager Chongde calling herself, Meng Ling hurriedly got up, bowed and replied: "Queen Mother, the concubine is here!" ”

The Empress Dowager Chongde looked at Meng Ling and beckoned to her: "Ling'er, what are you doing sitting so far away?" Come here and sit down beside the mourners! ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Chongde let herself sit beside her, Meng Ling looked left and right, and was a little hesitant in her heart!

This chief people, in addition to the Empress Dowager Chongde, also have the same seat as today's son Sima Dan, as for the others, either the concubine of the dynasty or the queen of the dynasty, these people are all nobles of the royal clan, even Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, is not qualified to sit at the same table with the Empress Dowager Chongde!

Meng Ling secretly thought in his heart, he was just the concubine of the vassal king, and according to the court etiquette, if he sat there, he would be overstepping! Since Qin Feng led the Northern Expedition, the government and the opposition have always been suspicious about the purpose of the Qin Army's Northern Expedition.

And Meng Ling and the others, whether they go out to pay respects or enter the palace to ask for peace, are all cautious and cautious, as if walking on thin ice! Don't dare to be careless, lest you leave a false pretext and affect the great cause of the Qin Army's Northern Expedition! At this time, the Queen Mother wanted Meng Ling to sit at the same table with her, but it really made Meng Ling a little embarrassed!

Seeing Meng Ling standing in a daze, the Empress Dowager Chongde chuckled twice: "Good girl, don't hurry up!" Can't you still let the mourning family go and help you over in person? ”

The Empress Dowager Chongde said so, if Meng Ling doesn't go over, even if he escapes the slander of transgression, he will be charged with disrespecting the will, and the Empress Dowager Chongde sincerely invites her, and Meng Ling is really not easy to refuse!

Seeing Meng Ling coming, He Fani, the empress of the current dynasty who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager Chongde, hurriedly got up and gave up her seat. Meng Ling saw that Queen He got up and gave up her seat, and she didn't even dare to say that she would sit at the end of the seat to accompany her!

When today's son Sima Dan, seeing Meng Ling like this, said with a smile: "Princess Qin, today is the birthday of the queen mother, you are the queen mother's daughter, so sit next to the queen mother, just treat it as an ordinary family banquet!" ”

Saying that, Sima Dan laughed a few times: "I and Qin Wangyi married Jin Lan, he is my eldest brother, you are my sister-in-law, if it is reasonable for you to sit here, don't shirk it anymore!" ”

As soon as Sima Dan's words came out today, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic pulled Meng Ling's hands, pressed them to sit down in the seat, touched Meng Ling's face, and laughed softly: "Good girl, sit here with peace of mind!" If you want to excuse yourself, you will be annoyed by the mourning family! ”

When both the son and the Empress Dowager Chongde said this today, after Meng Ling confessed to Empress He, she could only lean over and sit sideways beside the Empress Dowager Chongde!

At this time, on the first table, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic is in the chief, when today's son Sima Dan, and Meng Ling sit on both sides, when the queen He Fani, and other clan nobles, they are only sitting in the next head!

The princes and nobles in the main hall, seeing that the Empress Dowager Chongde was so good today, was so favored by Princess Qin Mengling, they were both envious and jealous! As everyone knows, Meng Ling, who is envied and envied by everyone, feels like sitting on the stove, and feels so uncomfortable!

Just now, the first tour of wine, everyone in the palace congratulated the joy of birthday, according to the royal birthday banquet etiquette regulations, this second tour of wine, should be today's son Sima Dan, personally congratulated the queen mother!

Who knew that after Sima Dan got up, he was about to toast to the Empress Dowager Chongde, and the Empress Dowager Chongde shook her hand with a smile: "Mourning the family's little birthday, why do you need to congratulate you so repeatedly?" ”

"The King of Qin and the soldiers of the Qin army are on the front line of Weishui at the moment, fighting bloody battles with the Hu people's soldiers and horses. They fought and won successively, and they had already killed more than 200,000 Hu Dogs, frightened the enemy chief Fu Jian, and fled north in a hurry to the south bank of the river! ”

"From the point of view of the mourning family, this second tour of wine should be given to King Qin! I wish the King of Qin a victory, and after driving out the Hulu, he will recover the Central Plains as soon as possible and return to the dynasty with a great victory! ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager Chongde said this, when Sima Dan hurriedly got up today, picked up the wine lord and congratulated him from afar in the north: "I wish the Qin Wangqi a victory, and after driving out the Hulu, he will recover the Central Plains as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty with a great victory!" ”

Then, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garliczi, the Empress of the Dynasty He Fani, the King of Huiji Sima Yu, the Taiwei Huan Wen and other princes and nobles, high-ranking officials in the court, and a number of noble ladies who ordered the court, got up one after another and picked up the wine lord, and congratulated each other towards the north: "I wish the King of Qin a victory, after driving out the Hulu, recover the Central Plains as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty with a great victory!" ”

When the Empress of the Emperor of the Dynasty, the Queen Mother, and all the princes and nobles in the court, congratulated a courtier from afar, this has never happened since the founding of the Jin Dynasty! And the Empress Dowager Chongde and today's son, this grand favor and courtesy to Qin Feng can also be called unprecedented and unprecedented!

Seeing the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, Qin Feng, who was not here, turned out to be the protagonist of the birthday banquet, and Meng Ling, who was Qin Feng's wife, was both proud and a little uneasy in her heart!

Seeing Meng Ling like this, the Empress Dowager Chongde, who was accustomed to people's hearts, pulled Meng Ling's hands and smiled: "Good girl, you just bear it!" King Qin has made such a great contribution to our dynasty, and it is only natural that the mourning family and the Son of Heaven should be more courteous to him! ”

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic gently patted Meng Ling's hands, and said with emotion: "Good girl, the mourning family has two daughters, both of whom died early, you recognize the mourning family as your mother-in-law, and the mourning family treats you as your own flesh and blood!" With you by the side of the mourning family, often accompanied by each other, the mourning family finally tasted the joy of Chenghuan's knees! ”

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Ling'er, you are the daughter of the mourning family, your husband Qin Feng is also the righteous brother of the Son of Heaven, everyone is a family, regardless of each other!" In the future, you have to love each other, don't be rusty! ”

Seeing the Empress Dowager Chongde say this, although Meng Ling understood in her heart that the reason why the Empress Dowager Chongde is like this, in addition to loving herself, is more of a trick of the court's power scheme, which is just a means to win people's hearts!

But looking at the Empress Dowager Chongde with tears in her eyes, Meng Ling couldn't help but feel moved in her heart! Meng Ling lost her mother since she was a child, and has been raised by Meng Xin and her brother Meng Jing

Today, at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, beside the Queen Mother Chongde, Meng Ling felt the warmth of maternal love for the first time, and in the depths of her heart, she slowly regarded the Queen Mother Chongde Chu Garlic as no longer regarded as the Queen Mother, but as her own mother!

"Mother!" With tears in her eyes, Meng Ling threw herself into the arms of the Empress Dowager Chongde! Meng Ling, who was in the arms of the Empress Dowager Chongde, cried for a while, and then giggled, as if she was talking, pouring out her thoughts about her mother and her thirst for mother's love for more than ten years!

Mother! Chongde Empress Dowager Chu Garlic knew that the Qin people called their father Ah Da, their mother as their mother, and Meng Ling called their own mother, and with this light call, they no longer regarded themselves as the queen mother, no longer regarded themselves as their stepmother, but as her biological mother!

Seeing Meng Ling's true feelings so revealed, holding Meng Ling's unpretentious love for the Empress Dowager Chongde, a trace of coldness in the depths of her eyes was gradually replaced by warmth! She hugged Meng Lingjiao and laughed: "Good girl, my good girl! The mourning family likes you to call you the mourning family's grandmother, don't change your words in the future! ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Chongde loved Meng Ling so much, and even regarded her as her own daughter, all the dignitaries and nobles in the palace, those noble ladies who had ordered her, were stunned one by one! But the strange thing is that in their hearts, there is no envy and jealousy at this time, but more just amazement!

Whether it is envy or jealousy, it generally only occurs among people with similar status, just like just now, when today's son and the Empress Dowager Chongde, led a group of princes and nobles, and congratulated the King of Qin who was far away on the front line of Weishui.

However, the Empress Dowager Chongde regards Mengling as a daughter, and this grace is not something that everyone can hope for, in addition to having great merit, it also depends on a trace of fate, relying on the mysterious traction in the underworld, so these dignitaries, these noble women, on the contrary, have no envy and jealousy for Mengling's grace!

No one is envious and jealous, but there are not a few people who resent Qin Feng and Meng Ling, such as Taiwei Huan Wen, looking at the Empress Dowager Chongde and Meng Ling who were hugging each other from a distance, the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, a bloodthirsty sneer!

At this moment, I saw Li Mi, the commander of the ruling Jinwu, stumbling in, kneeling in front of Sima Dan, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, it's not good!" The defenders of the West Gate found a large force of cavalry, they, they are about to go to Miyagi! ”

As soon as Li Mi, the commander of the ruling Jinwu, said this, the entire hall exploded in one fell swoop! Without the edict of the Son of Heaven, the soldiers and horses entered Beijing without authorization, and everyone in the palace understood what this meant! Mutiny, this is a mutiny!

Hearing the words of Li Mi, the commander of the ruling Jinwu, the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic, stood up in shock: "Li Mi, the mourning family asked you, where did those soldiers and horses come from?" Inside and outside the capital, aren't you the only one holding Jinwu? How could a large force of cavalry appear out of thin air? ”

"Queen Mother, those cavalry, they are fighting under the banners of Jiangzhou and Yangzhou towns, and Weichen doesn't know, how could they suddenly appear in the suburbs of the capital!"

"The towns of Jiangzhou and Yangzhou!?" Aren't the soldiers and horses of these two towns under the control of the Taiwei Mansion? They have no intention of entering Beijing, could it be that Taiwei Huanwen will rebel?

I have always been good at encircling Taiwei Huan Wen while being careful and vigilant, and I don't dare to force it too tightly, just for fear of forcing Tai Wei Huan Wen to jump off the wall in a hurry and do something monstrous!

After all, most of the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty were under the command of the Taiwei Mansion, and at this time, the soldiers and horses of the Qin army were all on the front line of Weishui, and there were only more than 20,000 Jinwu in their hands.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Chongde turned pale in shock, and stumbled for a while. Fortunately, Meng Ling hurriedly supported her, otherwise the Empress Dowager Chongde would have really fallen to the ground on the spot!

The Empress Dowager Chongde beat the spirit, first asked Li Mi, the commander of the ruling Jinwu, to quickly dispatch the soldiers of the battalion to strictly guard the city gate, and never let a soldier come in, and then pointed to the Taiwei Huan Wen and asked: "Huan Aiqing, the soldiers and horses of the two towns of Jiangzhou and Yangzhou must not be edicted by the Son of Heaven, and today I entered Beijing for no reason, and the mourning family wants you to explain!" ”

"The mourning family wants you an explanation!" The Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic did not directly reprimand Taiwei Huan Wen for attempting rebellion, she just wanted to give Tai Wei Huan Wen a choice and give him a step! In the heart of the Empress Dowager Chongde, there was still a trace of luck at this time, thinking that Taiwei Huanwen could rein in the precipice and know that he was lost!

"Explain!?" Taiwei Huan Wen heard the words of the Empress Dowager Chongde, and sneered repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager, when the son is weak and incompetent today, and the traitors around him are in charge, how can you defeat Qiang Hu?" How can ZTE be promoted? How can we recreate China? Therefore, Weichen risked the disapproval of the world, asked for the life of all the people, and asked the Queen Mother to issue an order to kill the traitors in the court, depose the son of today, and choose another virtuous person to be the son of heaven! ”js3v3
