Chapter 225: Returning with Peach and Plum Branches
The heavy chains were gradually lowered in the 'bang' body, and the heavy city gate covered with the vicissitudes of war gradually opened, and it also called on the Ye dynasty, which ruled half of the country, to wither at this moment.
A large number of generals and soldiers in Wuchang, the anger in their hearts and their expectations for the future at this moment turned into their motivation, and they went down the city wall in groups, knelt down in front of Zhao Xian's horse, and rebuked the mediocrity of the founding emperor with a red face, and praised Zhao Xian's wisdom and righteousness in eliminating the faint king. Now is the critical moment for Zhao Xian to take power, even if he shows his face in front of him, maybe in the future, he will be the first hero to welcome the new emperor, the opening of the prince, isn't it all like this.
Yue Jiheng was furious to avenge his father, and rebellion was doomed. After Yue Pingyang's old subordinates knew about the blood edict, it was impossible for them to loyally defend the Ye family. These old subordinates actually hoped that Yue Jiheng would establish himself as the king and raise troops to fight against the founding emperor. If he succeeds in this way, he is the new emperor of Daliang, and if he fails, he is also a great hero for the Northern Qi switch. If they hand over the military power and follow Zhao Xian, in the future, the generals of the Yue family, their merits will definitely be greatly reduced.
It's a pity that Yue Jiheng is dizzy now, and this proposal is bound to offend Zhao Xian, Yue Jiheng's family background has not done anything like Zhao Xian, and if there is infighting before the army starts, no one can please him.
No amount of credit is better than nothing. Yue Pingyang's old subordinates were forced to be helpless, and gradually went down the city wall to show their loyalty. Most of the people are blindly obedient, and when these generals make a decision, their generals will naturally follow.
As for the people of Wuchang, who is the emperor is not the emperor. Zhao Xian promised that after the world was pacified, the city that would not resist the opening of the city gate would be exempted from tax exemption for three years and exempted from military service. Besides, Yue Pingyang is a very good person in their hearts, guarding Wuchang in the cold and summer, he would rather give up his own son than give up the people, he died and the people were embarrassed, and now they know that Yue Pingyang was forced to death by the mediocre little emperor, they naturally have nothing to say, and many people have come to the street to cheer.
Zhao Xian rode slowly into the city on his horse, and in front of him was an endless array of soldiers raising his arms and shouting, and the summer breeze was blowing the red tassels on his helmet. A slight smile on his face.
Sometimes killing is for salvation. Sometimes deception is about protection, right and wrong are not confined to the process, and the result will speak for itself. The glorious achievements left in history will always be those who succeeded. Isn't it?
"Yijun is a good lady. There is also a drunken wife. You asked me to inherit the An family, but I have done so much for you on my own initiative, how can I thank me? Zhao Xian sighed softly. The thoughts in his eyes are unobstructed.
The obedience of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wuchang is the first step in the destruction of the Great Liang, and most of the troops behind are Anjia, how they will choose, in fact, there is already an answer. The new and old emperors of Daliang have been worried about suppressing the An family for so long, aren't they worried about this day?
Of course, not the entire Wuchang people rebelled without saying a word, and there were also people who were loyal to the monarch and served the country.
The Ye family was led by the Fuguotang to support the scholars, and let the generals take over the world, can they, who read the books of the sages, still have their previous status?
Under the leadership of Xiao Ziyuan, the students and gentlemen of the study of various academies came to the street in groups, and stood in front of Zhao Xianjia with the determination to die, directly accusing him of betraying the country to seek glory and having no king. Xiao Ziyuan's old face was even more angry, and his beard trembled and said: "Zhao Xian, I hope that you, as a scholar, have surrendered to the enemy and treasoned against the old master." When you were born in the early years, it was rumored that you harbored evil and turned against you, and sure enough......"
Ah! I almost forgot about it. Zhao Xian suddenly remembered the rumor when he was born. When An Li'er was born, Fu Guotang was already preparing to make a move against the An family, and secretly spread rumors that Zihuixing disappeared from the mortal world on the day An Li'er was born, and concluded that he had the life of the emperor and would return to rebel and take over the world in the future. Old Man An was frightened enough, and in order to show his loyalty, he reluctantly abandoned An Li'er into the wilderness.
Xiao Ziyuan didn't mention it, but the generals who were clustered around Zhao Xian were immediately overjoyed. Oh, yes! Eighteen years ago, it was rumored in Kyoto that Zhao Xian had the order of the emperor, and now it seems that those fortune tellers are right! This rebellion... Phew! This uprising seems to be a ninety percent success, and it is a little difficult for him not to be an emperor.
Most people in this era are superstitious, otherwise there would be no tricks such as 'cutting white snakes, fox barking, and digging stone tablets'. Zhao Xian had a rumor that Zihui Star had descended to earth eighteen years ago, and now that the two are combined, those who were originally hesitant also believe it.
is worthy of being one of my fathers-in-law, and it is so easy to help me stabilize my military spirit. Zhao Xian was very grateful, jumped off the horse without saying a word, and walked in front of Xiao Ziyuan: "Senior Xiao, Emperor Liang trapped me and injustice first, and I abandoned the righteousness of the monarch and ministers later." Sage Cloud: Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. If it weren't for Emperor Liang's unkindness, how could the soldiers of the city flock the people below? When the predecessors read the books of the sages, they should take it as their responsibility to benefit the people of the world and support the faint king, no matter how good the article is, it is just a corrupt Confucianism that brings disaster to the country and the people. ”
"You ......" Xiao Jian was angry enough, but the damn blood edict was ironclad, and Yue Pingyang was forced to die because of this, and he couldn't find an excuse to say a few good words for the Emperor Jianshi. Pointing at Zhao Xian, he was almost out of breath, and the group of old masters behind him were just a few sentences of 'surrendering to the enemy and treason, and there was no king', and they couldn't find other words.
Zhao Xian didn't want to talk nonsense with this group of old masters, and he was also afraid that if Xiao Ziyuan was sick, Sister Xiao would trouble him, so he waved his hand and said: "Send these old gentlemen home to take good care of them, I, Zhao Xian, am a faint gentleman, not a scholar." ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Yue Pingyang was sent down for treatment, Zhao Xian summoned the generals to the Shuai tent, and painted a better future for them with all kinds of chicken blood, and by the way, the generals who tried to escape from the capital to report the news cut off their heads and sacrifice the flag to warn, and determined the route of the march in the next few days, so that they could be idle, and hurriedly came to the outside of the city, and returned Sister Xiao and Tianzhu Gao to their courtyard in Wuchang to see.
Chang'an is more than a thousand miles away from Wuchang, and Zhao Xian took Empress Xiao and a master of Tianzhu, and the speed of travel was not very fast, and it took more than half a month to arrive.
As one of the three major furnaces, the taste of summer in Wuchang will not change because of the times. Zhao Xian, who grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, suddenly missed his cool pillow 'Mrs. Qingnu' at this time. Of course, if Sister Liu is willing to let him hold to relieve the heat, the effect will naturally be better.
Getting off the horse, Zhao Xian was already sweating like rain, the hot sun was still wearing fine iron armor, and the taste was no different from barbecue. The helmet was held in his arms, and he wanted to strip naked and take a bath in the water.
Empress Xiao lifted the curtain and jumped down, a thin layer of hot sweat appeared on her pretty face, and she changed into a water-green spring shirt, and the breeze lifted up the green silk she sprinkled at will, like a bewitching young woman of the age of a flower letter. Sister Xiao who is nourished by love. There is no trace of resentment between the eyebrows. was originally noble and dignified and compatible with wild and hot, but she directly became a hot goblin, and she can hook people's souls away with a smile.
It's a pity that the weather is very hot, and there is an Indian Ah San in the car. She had to be elegant and skillful, and she couldn't tear her neckline open. Holding a flower umbrella with a sullen face. complained: "This ghost weather is hot and dead, Zhao Xian, what are you doing with an old man who is in the way?" Half a month of awkwardness for the victims. If you are in Kyoto, when did you come to the summer resort to enjoy the shade? ”
There was a Ah San interrupting on the road, and he couldn't 'comfort' her properly, Zhao Xian knew that he was at a loss, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao, I've arrived home, let's take a bath and change clothes later, take a good rest, and go to the summer." ”
Empress Xiao's face was slightly red, and she glanced at him with disgust: "There must be your old friend here, Zhao Qing has the kung fu to accompany the palace, I better do it myself, and the province has disturbed some people's good things." With that, Empress Xiao walked in, she had been here secretly last time, and she was familiar with it.
The bearded Fei Luo had already ripped off the towel on his head, sweated like rain, and exhaled heavily: "Mr. Zhao Xian, what kind of place is this, it's like a stove!" If it weren't for the sick, I would never have allowed you to come so far. ”
Zhao Xian smiled lightly: "Just get used to it, Mr. Fei Luo, please go in first, I will find you a lot of strange patients for you to study in the future." "This bearded Ah San, his only hobby is to study medicine, and Zhao Xian still respects this kind of capable person, and after seeing him in, he turned around and walked to the house next to him.
Zhao Xian inquired and learned that Miss An was stubbornly waiting for him to refuse to return to Kyoto, and the maids were not good at leaving alone, and they were still here. Now that I have returned, I naturally want to come and see this infatuated woman.
When you go, the flowers are red and willow green, and when you return, the peach and plum are full of branches.
In July, the peach blossoms in the spring garden have turned into white and red peaches, hanging on the branches and bending the emerald green peach branches, and a few cicadas whispering between the branches and leaves.
The peach branch stretched out from the courtyard wall, raised his hand to pluck a few branches and leaves, and the faint fragrance came to his nose, and he walked slowly to the door.
Pushing open the vermilion lacquer door, a person was snatched out from behind the shadow wall in front of him, and when he raised his eyes to see him, his body stagnated, and the basket in his hand fell to the ground.
There was a tablet inside, and there were some sacrificial candles and paper money, and the tablet was broken in half, but the word 'Zhao' could be seen who it represented.
The girl in front of her was dressed in purple, rolled up her water sleeves to reveal her slender white arms, and the maid Ziyue opened her beautiful eyes wide, and looked at the young master at the door stupidly.
I haven't seen you for a long time, but this little girl's breasts are big again. Zhao Xian touched his nose and said hello: "Little Ziyue, do you miss the young master?" ”
"Ahh Ziyue came back to her senses suddenly, jumped up with joy, and threw herself directly into Zhao Xian's arms, crying and laughing: "Young Master! You're really back, scared to death, I, I'm ......" She hugged Zhao Xian's waist tightly, and actually tightened her armor a little, which shows how hard she is exerting herself.
Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, gently stroked her hair, and let her cry quietly for a long time before holding her shoulders and whispering, "Okay!" Young master, I can't die because of my great fortune, so I went to get some bath water, and I was sunburned to death while hugging us. Where is the eldest lady, I will look for her. ”
"Yikes! Damn it..."Ziyue reacted at this time, and hugged the young master for a long time without knowing how polite, she hurriedly retreated with a red face, and said, "Miss is waiting for you in the flower hall, I'll go down first." With that, he hurriedly ran out.
Zhao Xian picked up the broken tablet on the ground and spliced it, with the words 'the position of the former husband Zhao Xian' on it.
He smiled lightly: "This silly girl! Burn paper for me every day before I die, no wonder I often sob,"
Just turned the shadow wall, and saw a graceful woman sitting in the flower hall, full of peach and plum branches, reflecting her jade-like beautiful cheeks. The figure is turned away from him, and his black hair gently hangs down on the green spring shirt, like a hibiscus out of the water.
Perhaps she had already heard someone's voice, and she tried to make a calm appearance. A fragrant shoulder that can tremble slightly. Still betrayed her.
The slender hand was raised, stroking the peach blossoms that had long withered on the table, and tears of crystal and joy gradually overflowed from the corners of his eyes. The elegant eyebrows are like the spring moon and rain, the white cheeks are like flawless jade, the teeth bite the cherry red lips, and the tears drip on the tall crisp breasts, gradually wetting the placket.
"Miss, I'm back." Zhao Xian hesitated for a long time, but still put on the same cheap smile as before, walked into the flower hall and patted her on the shoulder: "Why have you lost so much weight?" Isn't it without me? You can't eat? ”
An Birou shook slightly. The slightly reddened eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and the teardrops were like beads with broken threads. It keeps dripping down.
"Birou?" Zhao Xian knew the pain she was suffering. Before the news of his 'death' spread. The secret guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty took Yijun, Sister Liu, Xiaomeng, Huang Tiantian, and Huayu to the Northern Qi. And Birou is the niece of Old Man An, and the relationship with Zhao Xian is not a couple, so she didn't bother her. That's it. No one told her the news that Zhao Xian was not dead, and her affection for Zhao Xian was revealed as early as the night of parting, and that thought would become a farewell forever.
Zhao Xian gently stroked her shoulder, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Madam and Yijun are safe and sound, they were picked up by me in Northern Qi, you don't have to worry." ”
An Birou's body trembled violently, she couldn't hold back the feeling in her heart anymore, she suddenly turned around and hugged Zhao Xian's neck, and said in a choked voice: "Bastard!" You bastard! Why did you leave me alone, why didn't you die......" Tears kept rolling down, and he asked countless whys, but he didn't give Zhao Xian a chance to answer.
Originally elegant by nature, she patted Zhao Xian's shoulder and looked blankly at the mature man in front of her. The voice gradually became indistinct, she hugged Zhao Xian's neck and leaned up fiercely, she didn't understand the affairs of men and women at all, she completely bit Zhao Xian's lips.
The extreme joy after despair made Miss An forget about the morality and etiquette of women's defense, hugged Zhao Xian and kissed her, feeling nervous, but more shy. Her heart seemed to be tightly strangled, her lips gradually tasted a faint fishy sweetness, and she stared at Zhao Xian's eyes with joy and anger, as if she wanted to bite him to death.
Holding the weak and boneless jade man in her arms, Zhao Xian smiled between her eyebrows, feeling the sweet cherry red lips, her movements were jerky, but the taste was sweet.
Time passed quietly, and she was about to faint, but she still refused to let go, afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
Zhao Xian smiled secretly in his heart, but he felt happy. In order to loosen her mouth, he gently dragged her hips and made a gesture to press her down on the table. Miss An had no choice but to let go, raised her small fist and hit him a few times, and said with shame and anger: "Bastard! Shameless disciple, ...... without conscience" Even if there are thousands of words, she only condenses these few words to express her emotions.
"That's it! Why are you sisters more fierce than the other? Zhao Xian smiled bitterly a few times and grabbed her little hand, which was cold and cold, without a trace of heat.
An Birou said indignantly: "What sister, how can I have a sister besides Yijun's conscienceless Nizi, what have you been doing in the past few months?" ”
Zhao Xian's face was slightly red, hey! I think I should be called a pervert or a half-orc, I can do such outrageous things, and I won't have to fight when we meet in the future...
He looked into the eyes of the eldest lady and said with a smile: "I was captured by the Northern Qi." I'm not back. Do you remember when you parted, you said I owed you something? ”
An Birou was slightly stunned, and snorted softly: "Owe me a peach blossom!" ”
Zhao Xian mysteriously hid his hand behind his back, as if he was hiding something.
Miss An's expression changed slightly, he, isn't he really a peach blossom? It's July, and he found ...... His face was a little red, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Zhao Xian was mysterious for a long time, and suddenly took out a big peach, handed it to her, and said, "Give it to you!" ”
An Birou's surprised face suddenly froze, and tears couldn't help but fall: "You are insincere, the peaches you picked from the courtyard are even embarrassed to use them to perfunctory me." If you don't want to send it, just send it. ”
Zhao Xian shook his head slowly: "This is not a peach!" He opened his mouth and took a bite, and said, "It's going to be a peach beard soon!" ”
This bastard, Miss An is completely angry, don't give me peaches, you still give me food, so what should I do? Why do you eat peach beard? Bullies don't bring such.
Seeing that the eldest lady was on the verge of going berserk, Zhao Xian hurriedly said: "Birou, Taohu is the seed of the peach, I will give it to you, it contains the bits and pieces of the two of us meeting and getting to know each other." Plant it now, watch it take root, sprout, grow, and when the flowers are in full bloom, we stand under the peach blossom tree, you pull me, I pull you, with the fluttering petals, closely dependent on each other, love. Compared with a peach blossom that is about to wither in a few days, this endless seed that can produce thousands of peach blossoms is not more suitable for you and me? ”
An Birou's beautiful eyes widened, and her expression gradually softened, and her face turned white and red, gradually spreading to her snow-white collar. Looking at the peach with a big bite mark in front of you, it is like the most beautiful treasure in the world.
The IQ of a man in love is really off the charts! Zhao Xian also felt a little guilty on his face, but he had been gone for more than three months, and now where to find the peach blossom, he could only give the peach to express his gratitude, and he would talk about it in the spring of next year.
An Birou's pretty face was shy, she was dignified and quiet at this time, thinking of the forced kiss just now, the tip of her heart trembled slightly, her face was like rouge, and she was so beautiful that people couldn't wait to bite it.
"Look at what! Finish eating! Give me the peach hu! Seeing him in a daze, An Birou couldn't help but scold him lightly, and was afraid that he would bite Taohu.
Zhao Xian was already hot and about to vomit blood, and he was not polite at the moment, sat down and listened to Miss An's complaints, and ate the ripe peaches. (To be continued......)
