Before the eldest princess arrived, the voice arrived first. Behind her is Yin Guohua, who is simply the embodiment of the eldest princess. As soon as she entered the Taihe Palace, she ran to Huo Wu's side without restraint, and the crown prince asked endless questions, until Li Tian asked Ziyi to accompany them to the garden to fly kites, and the palace was quiet.

As soon as the eldest princess returned to the queen mother, she completely lost the attention on the scene. As a member of the family, she greeted the emperor and the queen very warmly as an imperial sister, and greeted the queen mother very cordially. She brought a message that relieved the emperor's embarrassment and made the queen mother sad and suddenly into the Taihe Palace - Huo Yong had returned to Changjun Anling in disguise the night before, and was now in her mansion.

The eldest princess told the queen mother and the emperor how Huo Yong regretted it, how he burst into tears for the death of more than a dozen ministers, and how he lamented all night because he missed his mother, but he couldn't sleep because the emperor ordered him not to return to Beijing. In the end, she pleaded with the emperor and said, "I hope the emperor will be gracious and forgive King Liang." ”

The Queen Mother became more and more angry, and said angrily: "Okay! Even King Liang didn't let him do his filial piety in front of the mourning family, are you still worthy of being the emperor? When did you send the edict, why didn't the mourning family know? ”

The eldest princess hurriedly said: "The queen mother is serious, the emperor is afraid that King Liang will travel far away and exempt him from the annual pilgrimage, how can he not let him return to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety?" ”

She didn't forget Li Tian's influence on the emperor, and walked up to her very affectionately and said, "Empress! You say that these are all your own brothers, why make the sword rattling, let the relatives hurt, and the enemies are happy? ”

Li Tian hurriedly took the eldest princess's words and said, "The concubine thinks the same way. The emperor embraces all rivers and has the world in his chest. It will surely turn the clouds into beautiful days. ”

But the queen mother's heart knot still couldn't be opened, she beat her chest, and said with tears in her eyes: "The prince of a vassal country, the flesh and blood of the mourning family, was forced to disguise himself into Beijing. Huo Gang ...... "Since Huo Gang ascended the throne, this is the first time that the Queen Mother has called him by his name, "You are so ruthless!" ”

The Queen Mother was so sad, which also made Huo Gang's mood extremely heavy and uneasy, and she felt more and more that Huo Wu had made a wise move to burn the prison at the beginning. When the atmosphere in the Taihe Palace diluted the conflict between Huo Gang's father and son, he even felt that it was Huo Wu who created an opportunity for him to bridge the relationship with the Queen Mother.

He reverently and intensively calmed the Queen Mother's resentment, and carefully begged: "The Queen Mother is angry!" It's all the child's fault, and the child sent someone to pick up King Liang. ”

Hua Shuo was already waiting by the side at this moment, he had already understood the meaning in the emperor's eyes, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "The slave is going to pick up the prince." ”

"Use my car to pick it up!"

When the clouds of royalty that had been lingering for months finally lifted, ASUS's heart was filled with joy and replied loudly, "No! ”

The Queen Mother's mood gradually calmed down, and the brows that had been locked for many days gradually unfolded. But she knew in her heart that the eldest son was the current emperor after all, and his majesty must not be damaged because of this incident.

She wasted no time in doing things to save the emperor's son, and stroked his palm: "The mourning family understands in their hearts that they can't complain about the emperor in this matter, and it is also King Liang's improper use of people, and he listened to the demagogy of a group of chaotic ministers and thieves. I'll see him later, and I'll have to admonish him more. As for the ministers who were stabbed to death, you should be buried thickly, and you must pay more compensation. Although our dynasty has been pursuing the national policy of ruling by inaction since the emperor Taizu, the rule of inaction has always been inaction and inaction. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother's mood was improving, Li Tian realized that it was very appropriate to mention the marriage between Huo Wu and Yin Guohua at this moment. The eldest princess saw this little thought of hers in her eyes without leaking, and they barely made eye contact, so they played the matter.

"Ahh Are you talking about Hui'er and Ah Yin? So what does the emperor think? ”

"The child is the queen of the mother."

The Queen Mother is extremely happy, and she has rich life experience, she understands that this kind of marriage is necessary and important for both the princess and the emperor.

"It's also a match made in heaven! What about Hui'er, where will Hui'er go? The Queen Mother's hands were fumbling around.

Li Tian's heart was full of relief, and the worries and worries that had been going on for months had finally dissipated, because the Queen Mother had finally recognized the status of the crown prince. King Liang brought disaster upon himself, and Huo Wu's wisdom undoubtedly became an important reason for changing the original intention of the Queen Mother. Li Tian, who was the best at seizing the opportunity, hurriedly said to Wang Xin, the Zhan Shi of Taihe Palace: "Go and pass on the prince, the queen mother wants to see him." ”

"No!"

The crown prince and Yin Guohua soon came to the palace, and the queen mother already felt their breath: "Hui'er, Yin'er 1!" Come to the house of mourners. ”

When Huo Gang asked Hui'er and Ah Yin to salute the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother stopped and said, "The family is together, why do you want so many courtesies?" ”

She was like a kind old lady, and her laughter showed a soothing rhythm with the caress of her hands on the shoulders of the two children.

"Your mother wants Yue Lao to tie you together with a red rope for the rest of your life, this is God's will! Hehe! Oh! What is Moon Age? Yue Lao is a god who specializes in matchmaking for men and women in the world, and he wants Yin Er and Hui'er to be husband and wife of the mourning family! Tell the mourners, are you blushing? ”

Huo Wu looked puzzled and said: "Grandmother, if you are a husband and wife, you will be a husband and wife, why are you blushing?" ”

The Queen Mother was amused by Huo Wu's words, and said happily: "After all, it's a boy!" Yin Er didn't blush either, did she? Listen to your mother's personal daughter, you were born with a man's temper, this is not good! To be a princess is to look like a princess! ”

Yin Guohua was embarrassed by the Queen Mother, and shook the Queen Mother's shoulders coquettishly: "Grandmother! What do you say? Yin Er is not like this! ”

The eldest princess was anxious and criticized Yin Guohua for not being able to talk to the Queen Mother like this, but the Queen Mother didn't care about this, and hurriedly said: "Okay! Don't talk about the mourning family! Yin Er grew up and knew that she was shy. ”

Huo Wu whispered on the side: "How did she know that she was shy and crazy!" Just now I was chasing my grandson. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was even more excited.

It seems that the Queen Mother is no longer worried about the affairs of the prince, Huo Gang looked at Huo Wu snuggled up to the Queen Mother, and thought, this Hui'er is farther than I think......

Nanjun Mountain, which stretches to the southern suburbs of Anling in Chang County, is steep and precipitous, and lies like a barrier on the southern edge of the Changping Plain. The footsteps of spring crossed the majestic Nanguan and unfolded its splendid and colorful picture in Anling, Changjun.

Gorgeous peach blossoms stained the entire hillside, purple swallows from the south sang crisply in the forest, and the spring water rushed briskly towards the mountain. Bahe stretched out his motherly arms and gently embraced her son who had returned from the deep valley and stream.

The river turned a bend at the foot of the mountain, and a magnificent manor house was embedded in the abrupt cliff head of the river bay.

These days, Li Wei spends his leisure time in this poetic painting.

At this moment, the rising sun shines through the curtain and sprinkles warm light on Li Wei's bedside. He opened his eyes lazily, and saw the slender arms of the sleeping Zhao Nu crossed into a peach-shaped delicate state on the edge of the cloud sideburns.

She is as bright as a peach blossom, pink as a lotus root, her eyelashes are flashing, her mouth is slightly pouting, and her cheeks are rippling with a happy smile.

She's just amazing! Li Wei called in his heart. He gently lifted the corners of the quilt, and the two flesh that exuded the fragrance of a woman appeared in front of him.

However, after every joy, there are endless troubles, as if his life is being swallowed up little by little by this leisure time, and Li Wei is very worried that his ambition will fall like a meteor before it is rewarded.

A figure swayed on the window lattice, Li Wei quickly adjusted his emotions, and asked through the curtains, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, someone from Changjun Anling is here."

"I'm here to beg for wine again, I don't see you!"

"It's Prime Minister Zhou!"

"Who do you say?"

"It's the Prime Minister who has arrived!"

"Hurry up, please!"

He quickly summoned the maid to groom and dress him. Li Wei knew that Zhou Zhi was born with a straightforward personality, and he couldn't see a man being entangled by a demonic woman. When he walked out of the bedroom, he told Zhao Nu to go to the backyard wing, and Zhou Zhi must not show up during his stay in the manor.

After a while, the two generals of Dawu, the former uncle and the prime minister met in the living room of the manor.

"I don't know if the prime minister has arrived, I have missed the distance, I have offended, and I hope that the prime minister Haihan will come."

Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly: "The adult is not too fu, and the old man is not the prime minister." The day before yesterday, the emperor had dismissed the old man from his post as prime minister, and now you and I are unofficial and light. ”

The maid brought snacks and tea, and when there were only the two of them in the living room, Li Wei asked with a serious expression, "What's going on?" ”

Zhou Zhi shook his head and sighed: "This is really hard to explain......"

The turmoil provoked by King Liang has finally passed.

Sacrifice the souls of another group of dead with one group of heads, that is the matter of the autumn. Now, what Huo Gang wants to do is to heal the rift between the brothers.

Just five days after the boycott of the dynasty, after sacrificing heaven and earth, Huo Gang set up a banquet in Changle Palace to entertain Huo Yong. Li Wei, Zhou Zhi, Zhou Jian, Jing Fan and others accompanied. Such an arrangement is half the intention of the Queen Mother, and half is Li Tian's advice.

Huo Yong was treated very well today, and Huo Gang specially asked him to sit side by side with him. The banquet is sumptuous and extravagant, the wine in the giant copper pot in the center of the hall is boiled over a blazing fire, and the dishes and fruits on the table are more delicious because of the moisturizing of the wine.

After the servant in charge of ceremonies announced the start of the banquet, Huo Yong toasted Huo Gang very humbly, and tears even overflowed from the corners of his eyes: "Thank you for the emperor's forgiveness." ”

Huo Gang picked up the wine jue and drank with Huo Yong very generously: "You and I are the flesh and blood of the Queen Mother, the dear brothers, from now on, we should work together to strengthen my great Wu Jiangshan, and never listen to slander again." ”

"The minister must obey the emperor's teachings, and the minister should be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and only seek to practice filial piety by the side of the queen mother, and there is no other way."

Huo Gang turned his face to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I specially let people roast the best suckling pig today, accompanied by fine wine, so that everyone can enjoy it, wouldn't it be happy!" After speaking, Huo Gang smiled heartily. So, the ministers began a new enjoyment in this laughter - tasting the suckling pig.

No one noticed that Zhou Zhi's face gradually became gloomy in the emperor's laughter. Yes, when Zhou Zhi's eyes were drawn to the suckling pig by the emperor's laughter, he suddenly found that there were neither knives for cutting meat nor chopsticks on the table in front of him. His chest suddenly became hot, his already dark face turned purple at this moment, and his two thick eyebrows trembled slightly with the surge of blood. Was it the negligence of the palace steward, or was it deliberately humiliated by the emperor?

But the gaze of the other man made him quickly judge that his dignity had been trampled on and disregarded—Li Wei was looking at this side with a vague, mysterious gaze at the moment, and he seemed to have already understood what was happening in front of him.

Zhou Zhi couldn't tolerate being insulted and despised on such an occasion, so he got up angrily and walked straight towards the emperor's seat.

Li Wei was very proud when he saw this scene, and his mustache was pouted into an arc because of excitement.

When he passed by Jing Fan, Jing Fan couldn't find a better way, just gently tapped the desk with chopsticks and called softly: "Prime Minister!" No! He tried to reach out and grab Zhou Zhi's sleeve, but Zhou Zhi brushed the tip of his finger.

When reason encounters dignity, it seems so pale and helpless, and impulsive emotions ghostly push thoughtful behavior to extremes. He came to the emperor, his face was blue, and he did not speak.

Huo Gang's smile was mixed with a bit of ridicule: "I treat the general like this, and the general is also angry?" ”

Zhou Zhi said very mechanically: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." It's just that the minister is unwell in his abdomen and wants to go back to his home for medical treatment. I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission. ”

Huo Gang didn't speak, just waved his hand inadvertently.

Zhou Zhi kowtowed deeply, turned around slowly, and walked slowly in everyone's heart, and gradually, his old figure faded out of everyone's sight......

"Soon! The emperor dismissed the old man's prime minister. ”

"How could the emperor make such a hasty decision? Spare me from my post and remove you from being prime minister. ”

"Nope! It was the old man who offended the queen. ”

That is, what is that Wang Xing's ability, except for climbing up to a sister who has become a queen, Wen can't govern the country, and Wu can't open up the territory, why should he be a marquis? Therefore, when the emperor asked for his opinion, he refused almost without thinking.

He glanced at Li Wei and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The old man was not the material to be the prime minister. ”

"So, who's the prime minister now?"

"The holy decree has been issued, and Cao Tian, the imperial historian of the former dynasty, is the prime minister." Zhou Zhi said disapprovingly.

Li Wei was disappointed, it seems that because of the abolition of the crown prince Huo Yong, the emperor has a deep prejudice against him. Since Huo Yong was deposed and reduced to a local prince, he has not been heard from.

The courtiers were exempted from killing and killing, which made Li Wei feel that the turmoil in the court had not passed. Their minds were in an indescribable complication, and neither of them could find a proper way to comfort each other, except for one lord after another to drink untasted sullen wine.

Zhou Zhi told Li Wei that the prince always remembered his teachings whenever he encountered major events, which often embarrassed the ministers. When Li Wei heard this, he was inexhaustibly relieved in his heart.

When they were drunk, their depression for several days was gradually diluted by this alcohol, and in the wine jue encounter, Zhou Zhi's hope for Huo Wu rose in his heart. Especially after listening to the story of Huo Wu's trip to Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan, he seemed to have gained a new perception - the rise of Great Wu is in the former emperor and the current emperor, and the strength of Great Wu is in the crown prince.

Li Wei couldn't help himself, so he stood up and invited Zhou Zhi to toast to the prince. But he didn't get a response from thoughtful gaze.

"Please drink this lord, the old man still has something to say." Zhou Zhi said, drank it first, and the words also overflowed with the burning of the elixir, "Forgive the old man for being blunt, according to the current situation of the adult, I am ashamed of both Huo Yong and the prince." ”

"Why did the Prime Minister say that?"

Zhou Zhi saw Li Wei drink the wine in Juezhong, knew that he didn't care about his accusations, and continued: "It is the emperor who can make Lord Li rich, and the person closest to Lord Li is the queen. ”

"On the occasion of this eventful autumn, only adults can assist the prince and glorify Wu Jiye!" For the sake of Dawu Jiangshan, please be worshiped by the old man. ”

Li Wei was moved, he couldn't help but reach forward and clasp Zhou Zhi's hand tightly: "Thank you for your advice, you will live up to your high expectations, and I will enter Anling, Changjun to see the queen in a few days." ”

At this time, the spring thunder that sounded from the south of the mountain rolled across the surging river and opened a hole in the plain......
