Chapter 835: The First Emerging Force, the Huang Family
"Don't talk nonsense, now is a critical period to defeat the Sichuan army, and then we have to rectify the Shi army, so don't get involved in the family affairs of the lord."
"Uncle, I think the young man is smart and wise, but his talent is more in the right things, not in people, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is a strategist, not a lord.
With such a huge plan just now, he had countless opportunities to expand his own power without affecting the strategy, but he was completely giving advice to the lord, and he enjoyed this kind of advice.
This is not a good phenomenon, if you can make a job, it will cause jealousy, if you can't find someone, you can't protect yourself, and if you are jealous, you can't protect yourself, maybe the young son gave birth to the wrong person. ”
Xun Yu was silent for a while, and went straight to the study, Xun Yu's main talent is in internal affairs, and his political maturity is above Cao Cao's other strategists, he knows that these things are not something they can comment on, and they should not be commented on at this critical moment.
The most important task now is to defeat the Sichuan army.
……
Changle Palace, Chang'an Palace, Moon Room Palace, Huang Yue wore a white princess's palace dress, entered the main hall under the guidance of a palace maid, and saw Fu Shou, the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, setting up an easel at the pavilion and painting.
"Queen Mother, Princess Yue came to visit." The palace maid saluted Fu Shou.
"Go down." Fu Shou said casually, and the ink pen carefully sketched on the painting.
"Huang Yue, the wife of the King of Shu, meet the Queen Mother." Huang Yue saluted Fu Shou Yingying, her face was a little haggard, and there were bloodshot eyes in her eyes, but her face was calm.
Liu Zhang's funeral had to wait until the clothes were brought back, and now he only ordered filial piety, but the focus was on Liu Xun's succession. Everyone in the Sichuan army knows. At this time, Cao Cao Sun Quan. And all forces are staring at Chang'an. I hope that something will go wrong in Chang'an.
Jiang Wan and other civil officials, Zhang Ren and other military generals, are settling the government and the opposition and the military, as Liu Zhang's wife, Huang Yue knows that this is not the time to hide at home and cry, there are still many things to do by himself.
"It turned out to be the princess, yesterday I had issued an edict to confer Liu Xun, the son of the king of Shu, as the king of Shu, does the princess have any requirements so soon?" Fu Shou groaned. With an indifferent tone: "Say it, the palace is not allowed, anyway, the palace is not allowed, you can also issue an edict yourself, but if you want the palace to mourn for the king of Shu, don't think about it." ”
"Huang Yue doesn't dare." Huang Yue hurriedly bowed, looking at Fu Shou who was in white Shengxue, her belly was completely bulging, and her face was still beautiful, which was integrated with her picture scroll. He said softly: "The queen mother's golden body is pregnant again." There is nothing wrong with not mourning for the first king, but the queen mother is about to give birth, so don't work too hard. ”
Fushou has always had a full-time imperial doctor from Liu Zhang's faction, and the due date has passed, which is a late birth.
But Huang Yue knew that Fu Shou was not a late birth at all, and many joints could be understood as soon as he thought about it, Huang Yue knew that Fu Shou's feelings for Liu Zhang were very complicated, and it was not a big deal that he was unwilling to mourn now.
It's just that Huang Yue still has some things to worry about.
"It's just leisure, just say anything about the princess." Fu Shou said lightly, lightly touched his bulging belly, frowned slightly, and seemed to realize something, and his heart suddenly felt a little cold.
Huang Yue looked at Fu Shou and said in silence for a long time: "It's nothing, I just heard that the Queen Mother has completed the "Broken Mountains and Rivers", and the civil and military officials have discussed, hoping to use it to succeed to the throne of the new king, I wonder if the Queen Mother can promise it?" ”
Fu Shou casually asked the two palace maids to take the painting, and sketched the characters on the flower paper in front of him, in fact, the current Fu Shou and Huang Yue both knew it, Fu Shou knew what Huang Yue wanted to say, but he didn't say it, if he said it, the consequences would be very serious.
Fu Shou felt that the pen was a little messy, his heart couldn't calm down, the two palace maids came over with a picture scroll, Fu Shou said: "This is the "Broken Mountains and Rivers", the princess take it, is there anything else?" ”
Huang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, Empress Dowager Jin'an, Huang Yue retired." ”
Just as Huang Yue turned around, Fu Shou suddenly asked, "Princess, what will happen if the prince is born in this palace?" ”
Fu Shou only looked at the painting in front of her, the pen was held tightly, she knew that this was the purpose of Huang Yue's arrival, but she didn't know what Huang Yue was afraid of, so she didn't say it, but Huang Yue didn't say it, and Fu Shou couldn't feel at ease.
Liu Zhang died, just as Liu Xun succeeded to the throne, the foundation was unstable, and people's hearts were fluctuating, if he gave birth to a prince......
Huang Yue stopped, was silent for a long time, and said: "Huang Yue doesn't dare to ask about political affairs, but now the king of Shu is merciful, and the prince may be safe." Huang Yue didn't stop any longer, and strode away with the two palace maids.
"Or."
A long time after Huang Yue left, Fu Shou read this word, suddenly grabbed a brush and slashed it on the drawing paper in front of him, shouting as if crazy: "Liu Zhang, what do I owe you, if you force me like this, I should have died a year ago, but you gave me a child, so I might as well die."
You killed the Fu family, killed Liu Xie, and let me be a puppet queen mother, I live in this deep palace every day, alone, and being monitored, do you know how sad it is?
Don't you know that the child in my womb is my only hope for survival? But now, even the children are threatened, or, if you were alive, would you allow them to kill our children?
Yes, I know you will, what have you been afraid of besides your great cause? You will, if you die in Chang'an, I'm afraid you will directly order the imperial doctor to kill our child, without even a word "or", right?
Why do you want to torture me like this when you die? ”
Fu Shou used a large handful of brushes to slash twice on the ink painting in front of him, threw out all the brushes, and with the sound of the brush falling to the ground, Fu Shou tears fell like rain, lying on the easel and crying.
Tears slid down the paper, a man with an umbrella, a woman in front of him with an easel to paint, the river bridge in front of the easel was full of refugees, helping the old and the young, the soldiers maintained order, the workers repaired the river bridge, and behind the man stood a bald head with a double hammer.
The ink drowned out the silhouettes of the men and women, leaving only a few gaps, tears streaming down their faces, and the only remaining gaps were blurred.
Huang Yue returned to the palace, but his brother Huang Quan was in the courtyard, and Huang Quan came to Beijing to attend Liu Xun's enthronement and Liu Zhang's funeral. But he has his own official residence. How did you come to the palace? asked the two palace maids to hand over the scroll to the steward, Huang Yue immediately greeted him and entered the room with Huang Quan.
"Brother, why are you here?" Huang Yue said while pouring tea for Huang Quan in person, the two siblings have had a good relationship since childhood, and Huang Yue only met Liu Zhang because of his brother, since Huang Yue came to Chang'an, he hasn't seen Huang Quan for a year. Now that Huang Quan has arrived, he is very emotional.
"I may not be able to attend the funeral of the first lord, I can only participate in the enthronement of the young lord, I have to return to Shuzhong, the grain and grass in Shu support Guanzhong, and I heard that Jiaozhou Shixie is unstable and may attack Dianzhou, I need to go back as soon as possible."
Originally, it was usually a funeral first, and then the enthronement, but now the situation is special. As soon as the news of Liu Zhang's death came out, the whole world seemed to change color. The people of Jingyi all the states listened to the news in disbelief.
At the beginning of the battle in Jingzhou, because of disaster relief and some feudal means, many people were attached, and in recent years, the Sichuan army has not raised taxes, but there are many policies to support agriculture, and many low-level people have the opportunity to enter the office, after the redistribution of land, almost every household has land to make a living.
The people really love Liu Zhang and the Sichuan army, and now that Liu Zhang is dead, the people are sad and hesitant, only afraid that this will affect their lives, and they don't know what will happen to the new lord of the Sichuan army.
Outside the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army, Jiaozhou, Jiangdong, and Cao Cao in the Central Plains were in turmoil almost at the same time, and there was a posture of encircling and annihilating the Sichuan Army, and it can be said that there were crises both inside and outside.
In this case, of course, the only way to ascend the throne is to be held first, and then the funeral will be held.
"That's right, my brother should go back to Shuzhong first, and the foundation of the Sichuan army is important." Huang Yue said quietly, in fact, in this palace now, Xiao Furong and Qu Lingchen are not there, and she is alone.
When her husband left, Huang Yue was hesitant in her heart, she really wanted to have a relative to talk to, Huang Quan was undoubtedly the best, and now Huang Quan was leaving, Huang Yue felt very empty and uncomfortable, but she still knew how to measure.
"Yes." Huang Quan nodded and didn't speak again, but there seemed to be some doubt on his face.
Huang Yue glanced at Huang Quan: "If my brother has anything to say, just say it, there is anything else that our brother and sister can't say." ”
"It's hard to say." Huang Quan sighed and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Sister, haven't you noticed anything abnormal recently?" ”
"What's out of the ordinary?" Huang Yue said suspiciously.
"Our Huang family is being watched."
"What did my brother say?" The teacup that Huang Yue was about to stop in mid-air and looked straight at Huang Quan.
"Although I'm not sure, but this is by no means an illusion, I've been in the pavilion for the past two days, someone must be watching, sister." Huang Quan looked at Huang Yue: "Didn't my sister think about it?" Since ancient times, the family of emperors has been fratricidal.
Now that the young lord has just been established, you have Kang'er, and you are the only person who can inherit the title except for the young lord, not to mention that you are still the lady of the main house, and I am the Yizhou pastor, and the Huang family is powerful, won't it cause jealousy? The young lord is in order to ......"
"Shut up."
Without waiting for Huang Quan to finish speaking, Huang Yue scolded, frowned deeply, and said in a serious voice: "Brother, we are brother and sister in private, I am the princess in official affairs, you are the minister of the lord, we should all think about how to maintain the great cause of the lord, not those unnecessary things."
Since ancient times, disasters and troubles have been caused by suspicion and suspicion, and there was no disaster in the first place, but they brought disaster upon themselves.
What if someone spies on our Huang family? Shouldn't it be monitored? If the young lord looked at such a big Huang family and let it go, what qualifications did he have to be the king of Shu? Wouldn't it lead the Sichuan army to a dead end?
This is just a precautionary measure, and at a time like this, no king can let a huge force go unpunished, and that is the work of a faint king.
And when it comes to the Young Lord's Guild to deal with us, my brother doesn't have to worry about it, Xun'er has been with me since he was four years old, I grew up watching him, Xun'er is not only benevolent as his husband said, he knows who he can trust.
At the beginning, Rong'er's sister was very bad to Xun'er, do you know what Xun'er said to me? He said that Rong'er's sister is more like his sister, and it is better for him to practice martial arts than he doesn't like, so for so many years, although he doesn't like to practice martial arts, Rong'er's sister hasn't taught him a few moves, he has always insisted on practicing those few moves, and he has never fallen.
At the beginning, Zhou Budo forced Xun'er to play and forced him to learn some non-classic acrobatics, he was very distressed, but he didn't say anything, he was very obedient to learn, even if he learned slowly, he tried to learn, and never complained about Zhou Budo's companion, because he knew that Zhou Budo was also for his good.
Brother, Xun'er knows who is trustworthy, if Xun'er really starts to deal with our Huang family one day, it will be the Huang family who really rebelled, brother, you remember, God is evil, it is forgivable, self-inflicted, and you can't live.
Don't be suspicious, concentrate on doing your own thing, that is the source of dissent. ”
Huang Quan listened to Huang Yue's words, fell silent, and said after a while: "Sister, it seems that my brother has been in the officialdom for too long, and I haven't seen many things through my sister yet." ”
Huang Quan suddenly remembered Liu Zhang's mood when he suddenly recruited him and rushed to Chengdu from Langzhong, Brazil, that was the starting point of his brilliant life, and how simple he was at that time.
Thinking of serving the lord and serving him wholeheartedly, he was completely grateful to Liu Zhang for giving him a chance to show himself, even if Liu Zhang was worried about internal and external troubles at that time, and the battle of Fucheng was extremely dangerous, he had no way back.
But after so many years, I have begun to weigh the pros and cons.
Huang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I heard that Yizhou Don't Drive has been transferred to Beijing as an official, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere in political affairs, brother, you go and ask the young lord to send a don't drive back to Shu with you." ”
"Yes." Huang Quan answered, said goodbye to Huang Yue and went out, Huang Yue looked at Huang Quan who was leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief, she is not a stupid woman, she knows that she will have a lot of troubles if she has Kang'er, but Huang Yue understands Liu Xun, and because of Liu Zhang, Huang Yue will not suspect anything, if his husband has doubts and starts to guard against something, it will only be counterproductive.
So now Huang Yue just locked Liu Kang in the room, didn't see outsiders, read every day, and waited for a few months to talk about anything else, but Huang Yue looked at Huang Quan and suddenly felt a little worried.
The Huang family is a large family, unscathed in the previous Sichuan army counterinsurgency, and with Huang Quan and Huang Yue began to rise to become a business family.
Now the Sichuan army does implement the four imperial examinations, but the talents of the poor family have a congenital disadvantage compared to the family, and the Huang family has many officials through the four imperial examinations, and today's Huang family is very powerful.
Even if he can convince Huang Quan today, there are still so many people in the Huang family, a princess, a state pastor, and a prince, which is enough to make the people of the Huang family think more.
Huang Yue can only pray now that the Huang family has no eyes open, if Huang Yue finds out that Huang Yue has decided to kill his relatives in righteousness and will not show mercy, otherwise it will be too late to harm a clan.
Huang Quan left the palace, glanced at the plaque, and said to a cronie next to him: "After I go back, kill the messenger and present the head to the young lord as a gift for enthronement." (To be continued......)
