Chapter 405: Reward
The bright-eyed Zhuge Lying Silkworm smiled calmly, waved the goose feather fan that had been dried in his hand, and saw the Queen Mother who had just opened her eyes from sleep on the bed, Zhuge Lying Silkworm was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand and said, "The Queen Mother is sleeping here, and you still don't quit, so recklessly, beware of treating you as offended." ”
In fact, the soldiers behind didn't see the Queen Mother's beautiful sleeping posture much, because Zhuge Lying Silkworm didn't look old, but his body was not small, and he blocked their sight all of a sudden, and he didn't see anything.
Several people hurriedly withdrew, but Mei Niang drew her sword from the table next to her, held it in her hand, and stared coldly at Zhuge Lying Silkworm, "Your people have left this tent, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"You can't!" Zhuge Lying Silkworm smiled calmly, looked at Wu Meiniang who was holding the long sword with a sinister face, and smiled, as if she didn't look at the sharp long sword in her hand, "You have the ability, you come to cut me!" ”
"Look for death!" This seventy or eighty old man embarrassed himself everywhere, Mei Niang had already treated him as a mortal enemy, but remembering that he was Han Hanru's brother and friend, Mei Niang decided to just scare and scare him, holding the sword and taking three steps, Mei Niang's eyes were dark at this time, and a dizzy feeling hit her heart, and then, Mei Niang was about to fall to the ground.
It was still Zhuge Lying Silkworm who was quick and prepared, stretched out his hand to support Mei Niang, and then pulled her back to the bed.
smiled and looked at the queen mother who was wearing a quilt on the bed and still had a shocked expression, Zhuge Lying Silkworm made a move, and then said, "Zhuge Lying Silkworm is fortunate not to be dishonored, as a person from the Cao Dynasty, he saved the royal family of the Cao Dynasty and returned to the capital." ”
"Good!" With a melancholy smile in her eyes, the Queen Mother looked sideways at Han Han on the side, and then was silent, and only after a moment did she raise her head and say to Zhuge Lying Silkworm, "Mr. Zhuge has made great contributions to the Cao Dynasty, and when the mourning family returns to the capital, he will be rewarded immediately." ”
"One more thing, I hope the Queen Mother doesn't mind." Zhuge Lying Silkworm waved the goose feather fan, and his expression that had been calm was a little apprehensive, the Queen Mother was strange, tilted her head slightly, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"The capital and the palace are almost in tatters, I hope the Queen Mother will not blame, because everything is for the tribe...... For the sake of the Cao Dynasty. ”
Zhuge Lying Silkworm pinched a pill between his fingers, and when this pill was crushed and the smell wafted out and was smelled, it was already poisoned.
Mei Niang fell in three steps, and because of this, she handed the Queen Mother and Han Han the antidote, Zhuge Lying Silkworm waved her hand, and the group escorted these thousands of Xiliang soldiers on the way back.
When he returned to the capital, he sat on the boat, looking at the capital, which had become an ocean and even full of miserable monotony, the Queen Mother laughed angrily, and did not pursue the meaning of Zhuge Lying Silkworm, and a group of people returned to the palace, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar place, the Queen Mother was melancholy for a while.
The gold and silver items in the palace have been washed away by the flood, and only the high-walled and deep courtyard of the house is left, which looks much empty.
"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the court!" When she sat on the Xuanzheng Hall full of fishy smell again, looking at a group of local generals who had not appeared for a long time, and now they had only come to the fore when they returned, the Queen Mother smiled again, these people, are they really stupid to mourn the family?
The capital has to travel by boat for a few days, and of course, there are a few chic guys who swim around in the already calm water, treating the capital as a small lake.
Most of the soldiers who rebelled against Mei Niang had been killed, including those who had surrendered before, and they were all wiped out by Zhuge Lying Silkworm.
The turmoil in the Cao Dynasty seemed to have calmed down in this winter, and they did not punish the generals who did not save them when they saw death, and even the Queen Mother gave them a few hundred taels of silver each, saying that they had the merit of exterminating the thieves.
Do they have it? No! They know it themselves, and the Queen Mother knows it! But when they received the hundreds of taels of silver, they were even more frightened than being punished, their hearts were weak, and they felt guilty, so that these generals did not dare to say anything, hurriedly retreated, and after running back home from the palace, they wiped their sweat worriedly, "Lao Tzu almost lost his life!" You can't do such stupid things in the future! ”
The people and even officials all over the world learned that the Queen Mother, who had been taken hostage, suddenly returned to the palace to regain power, and officials large and small had their own careful thoughts and prepared to write letters to the Queen Mother, which was nothing more than flattering greetings.
On the first day of return, the Queen Mother did not seem very happy, after sending away such a group of hypocritical ministers, leaving the Xuanzheng Palace, the Queen Mother slowly walked to the imperial study, in this imperial study, but Han Han and Emperor Tang Wen were full of memories.
In addition to the guards, there is not a single eunuch or palace maid in the palace now. Pushing open the bleak door, looking at the damp wooden table with its feet facing the sky and the carpet washed into the corner, the Queen Mother smiled again.
Standing in a daze, the Queen Mother squinted at all this and said, "The world is hot and cold, don't go through a difficulty, it's a pity not to understand this throne!" ”
Han Han, who had been quietly following the Queen Mother, just smiled faintly and didn't speak, the kind of loneliness and loneliness on the Queen Mother infected Han Han, thinking that there was no one around the Queen Mother except herself, this kind of taste was really pitiful.
"Mei Niang has been imprisoned in prison." The Queen Mother turned her back to Han Han and said, Han Han nodded quietly, and the Queen Mother couldn't see the complicated color on his face, "Yes, the knife is fish." ”
"She committed such a heinous crime of treason, it stands to reason that she should be punished by the Nine Clans." The Queen Mother finally glanced sideways at Han Han at this time, and when she saw Han Han's calm gaze looking directly at her, the Queen Mother turned her head back, she couldn't bear to look directly.
"You say, what should the mourning family do with her?" almost snatched away his own country, which made the queen mother even more insecure, and her graceful and elegant side face was presented in front of Han Han, Han Han pursed his lips and smiled, his smile was a little helpless, "She said that if she loses, this country will be returned to you." ”
"But who knows if there's a next time?" The Queen Mother bit her ruddy lip, thinking about it, but she still couldn't help but say the sentence in her heart.
Han Han was very straightforward, smiled inexplicably, and asked, "You want to sentence her to death?" The Queen Mother turned her head and looked resentful, "You know, the mourning family attaches great importance to the country, especially Wu Meiniang, she once snatched it away, how can you let the mourning family rest assured?" ”
"So what do you mean? Or do you want to betray her for capital crimes? Don't look at Han Han's calm surface, but his heart is very worried, the Queen Mother didn't speak, just quietly looked at this messy imperial study, how many famous paintings and poems were washed away by this flood? It's a shame that I didn't stay.
In the prison, when Mei Niang opened her eyes, she saw Han Han sitting in front of her, Mei Niang's head rested on Han Han's lap sitting cross-legged, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Han Han's manly side face.
Looking down at her, Han Han smiled and said, "You can really sleep, it took us three hours to go back to the capital, and you slept for another hour." ”
Mei Niang squinted her eyes and rubbed her somewhat groggy forehead, looked around, and then smiled wryly, "This is the dungeon?" ”
"Wrong, it's a dungeon, but there is still some difference between a dungeon and a dungeon." Han Han smiled slightly, this cell was empty, on the straw mat of the simple spectrum, Han Han and Mei Niang did this, Han Han was afraid that this weed would make the back of Mei Niang's head hurt too much, so he hugged her face on his thigh.
"Am I poisoned?" Recalling the scene of her coma after seeing Zhuge Lying Silkworm, Mei Niang immediately gave an answer herself, "That cunning old man!" ”
"It didn't take a single soldier to stun all the soldiers in the tent and bring you back to the capital, this old man is not just cunning, but great wisdom!" Han Han smiled, stretched out his hand to touch Mei Niang's face, Mei Niang glanced at Han Han unhappily, sat up by herself, leaned into Han Han's arms, and asked, "Queen Mother, has she returned to the palace?" ”
"Yes, hundreds of thousands of people in the capital have been washed clean by the flood of Zhuge Lying Silkworms, and hundreds of officials welcome the Queen Mother back to the dynasty, your dream of the female emperor is probably going to be broken."
Han Han looked down at Mei Niang, saw her calm expression, smiled, and asked, "Why are you so quiet, I thought you would be a little crazy dancing." ”
"Alas......" Mei Niang sighed, her slender and thin body leaned softly in Han Han's arms, shook her head speechlessly, and said, "Since the first battle lost to Zhuge Lying Silkworm, I have been prepared to fail now, so the Queen Mother is justifiably returning to the dynasty?" ”
"Yes! The group of ministers who didn't save them when they saw death were crowned by the Queen Mother one by one, and the Queen Mother's hand was a beautiful game. Han Han pursed her lips and smiled, but at this time, Mei Niang turned her head sideways and asked a question very bluntly, "So, did the Queen Mother say how to deal with me, a traitor?" ”
Han Han was stunned for a moment, the emotions in his eyes calmed down a lot, patted Mei Niang's shoulder, and replied slowly, "She said, when the court is in the morning tomorrow, it will be announced." ”
"Is she going to kill me?" Mei Niang looked directly at Han Han and asked the question very directly, Han Han grinned, but said with no expression on his face, "How do I know!" You are like sisters, didn't you still serve me together a few days ago? ”
Mei Niang squinted at Han Han, leaned on Han Han's arms, quietly did not speak, the two hugged each other for a long time, Mei Niang sighed and said softly, "I don't want to die, if the Queen Mother really wants to kill me, you have to help me intercede." ”
Han Han opened his mouth, then nodded, "That's nature." "I don't die, I can't without you; Without me, Xiliang can't. Mei Niang muttered in a low voice, and then leaned on Han Han's arms and fell asleep physically and mentally exhausted.
The next day, even though there was still a thick layer of stagnant water in the capital, the first-rank ministers and second-rank ministers in various places still rode into the capital on horseback and participated in the early dynasty on time.
The return of the Queen Mother obviously represents a time when the imperial court has undergone a makeover, and they will not be stupid to lose their hard-won official position.
After entering the Xuanzheng Palace, everyone dared not make a sound, and when the time of the early dynasty came, the Queen Mother still did not appear.
Han Han, who had been removed from the position of national teacher a long time ago, appeared in a farmhouse outside the capital at this moment.
This is the small house that Zhuge Wo Silkworm bought for Liu Yun and Yang Yuhuan, for them to eat and sleep well here, and when several girls saw Han Han walking in, they all shouted happily, and directly quarreled Liu Yun and Yang Yuhuan.
"Hey, hey, whose son is this?" Yang Yuhuan's coquettish face was full of excitement, but he was still teasing Han Han slowly.
Coquettish eyes looked Han Han up and down, Yang Yuhuan walked up, and then leaned into Han Han's arms to eat tofu, and kept touching Han Han's body with both hands.
And Liu Yun blinked his lovely eyes, looking at Han Han just with a strong smile.
Liu Yun hugged Yang Yuhuan's little waist, and then walked towards Liu Yun, "I'm back!" "Well, it's good to come back, suffer." "It's not bitter."
The two looked at each other and didn't say much, but they could understand what the other person wanted to say. Liu Yun was very worried about Han Han, and Han Han knew; Han Han misses Liu Yun very much, Liu Yun understands, and that's enough.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and there was a sense of joy and warmth.
Looking at the appearance of the two people's eyebrows, Yang Yuhuan was unhappy, pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and patted Han Han's chest gently, and asked, "Master, you are finally back, Sister Liu Yun is looking forward to wearing it every day, what about that crazy woman Wu Meiniang!" ”
If Mei Niang heard Yang Yuhuan scolding her like this, I don't know if she would come up to demonstrate to her according to the old rules, and smiled speechlessly, Han Han put his arm around Yang Yuhuan's slender back and said, "Well, I was temporarily imprisoned in prison." ”
"I heard that Zhuge Wo Silkworm used 50,000 people to attack the capital and snatch the palace back?" Yang Yuhuan leaned on Han Han with a surprised face, this warm and reliable feeling, sure enough, only Han Han would make her the most excited, "That crazy woman, it's really evil and evil." ”
Han Han just smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Yang Yuhuan's face, and then revealed Liu Yun again, and then walked towards the house, "Go in and talk, how can this house be in tatters, the old man Zhuge is really good, won't he pick a good place." ”
"The good place has also been flooded, and it can't be inhabited." Liu Yun pursed his lips and smiled sweetly, Han Han's arms were still so familiar, so that Liu Yun's mind that had not calmed down for a long time finally settled down.
On the Xuanzheng Palace, a group of ministers were originally in such a serious early court with apprehensive thoughts, but the protagonist Queen Mother has not appeared for a long time, what kind of trouble is this? Is it an indirect demonstration?
A group of ministers didn't dare to take a breath, and occasionally turned their heads and a few people squeezed their eyebrows to express their doubts and horrors.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" There are no eunuchs in the palace, and it is replaced by the rough shouts of a soldier's pure masters, which has a different flavor.
The ministers who had been staring at them for half an hour straightened their waists, and then knelt down and kowtowed, "See the Queen Mother!" "The belated Queen Mother is wearing an ordinary plain dress, and those dragon robes and other precious clothes in the palace have long been washed away by the flood, although the Queen Mother is dressed plainly at the moment, but she still has the majesty of the Queen Mother.
Sitting expressionlessly on the preserved intact dragon chair, the Queen Mother touched the armrest, it was a carved dragon head, thinking that at the beginning, Emperor Xian and Emperor Wen of Tang were sitting on this chair, and now people are gone, and the chair is empty.
Touching the armrest, as if caressing Ai'er's little hand, the Queen Mother inhaled in a trance, and then looked down at the group of ministers below who were waiting for her to speak.
