Chapter 177: I will be your woman in the next life
In the early morning of the second day, Liu Bei, who had not slept all night, was refreshed and refreshed, and after the morning came, he secretly glanced at Xia Mu. Trailing his frame from afar. Half an hour later, he had already arrived in front of Xia Mu's mansion.
Xia Mu had already ordered the servants to wait for him in front of the door. As soon as he saw Liu Bei, he was immediately introduced to the middle hall of the house.
Liu Bei walked into the hall, but saw that there were more than 10 people waiting inside, including Chen Fan, Cai Yi, etc., all of whom were important ministers of the court who had gone to the Golden Palace.
"Wait for you!" Liu Bei quickly walked into the hall and bowed to everyone.
"Haha, it is a blessing in the world to enable you to come!" Xia Mu was overjoyed and immediately invited Liu Bei to take a seat.
"I wonder what the envoy thought about last night?" Xia Mu immediately asked straight to the point. The ministers also stared at the newly baked imperial uncle, and the middle hall was instantly quiet.
"Prepare for last night's thought, the court is the important weapon of the country, if it is rotten, then the world is rotten. If this matter is as Lord Xia said, he dares not to die. But I don't know what the adults have to prove it? ”
"Good! So that the king understands the righteousness, and he is worthy of being the emperor's uncle today, the hero of the world! So that you can know that if it is just hearsay, Xia Mouan dares to talk about this matter lightly. To tell the truth, the person He Jin sent to deliver the letter and issue the edict was Xia's cronies in the mansion. Now the letter He wrote to Zhou Qi is here! Please take a look! ”
"What!" When Liu Bei heard this, his spirit suddenly lifted! Hurriedly took the letter and unfolded it, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more gloomy it became, but in his eyes, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter!
After reading a letter, he reached out and slapped the letterhead on the desk!
"How unreasonable! Shameless. Damn it! Ladies and gentlemen, since there are letters as proof, then the He slut should have no way to deny it, so this will make my second brother Yun Chang go out to dispatch troops and horses. Be sure to take down the two brothers and sisters of He Jin together! ”
"If you can get your help, this thing will be done! Be careful. ”
Everyone immediately discussed the details carefully, and agreed that after Liu Bei ordered the soldiers and horses, the arrow was sounded, and everyone sent their cronies to respond in the city. I'm afraid that the news will leak after a long time, so I decided to do it immediately this afternoon!
I don't know if this year's winter came too early, after the bleak autumn wind, the sky over the capital Luoyang is cloudy, it is October, in the afternoon, the sky is fluttering snowflakes.
After Empress Dowager He retired from the dynasty today, perhaps because she had dealt too much with government affairs, she was tired and suddenly felt restless. After lunch, she instructed the palace maid to prepare fragrant soup, loosen her clothes, and sit in the pool to bathe.
Allowing her skin to be soaked in warm water, Empress Dowager He refreshed her whole body and recovered a little bit of energy.
After the bath was finished, she got up and changed into her dress, stared at her youthful and beautiful flower-like face in the bronze mirror, reached out and took out the "soul-snatching soul" given by Zhou Qi from the dark compartment with great dignity, unscrewed the bottle cap, and sprayed a little on her body.
Smelling the fragrant fragrance of roses in the air, the corners of Empress Dowager He's mouth smiled slightly, only to feel that her thoughts seemed to fly up to the clouds with the fragrance and drift into the distance. The previous tiredness and restlessness were swept away.
But at this moment, there was a sudden chaotic and heavy footsteps in the distance, and there was a faint crisp sound of swords and fights!
Empress Dowager He couldn't help but be stunned! Who is so bold and dares to make noise in this Weiyang Palace!
After a while, the footsteps became louder and louder! Just when she was in shock, there was a "snap", the palace door was broken, and the Empress Dowager He was taken aback, and looked at the door with a pair of wonderful eyes. But he saw his own son, when today's son Liu Bi, followed the emperor's uncle Liu Bei with flickering eyes, and several old ministers from the first emperor period walked in after him.
Through the figures of several people, you can see that outside the palace gate, there are people in armor armed with swords.
This longevity palace is actually surrounded!
"Bold Liu Xuande! You just entered the court yesterday, how dare you hold the son of today hostage and break into the mourning palace! Seeing that the situation in front of her was not right, Empress Dowager He forced herself to calm down, raised her eyebrows, and scolded angrily. She has been listening to politics for a long time, and she has great power in her hands, and she has long been out of the cowardly appearance of the woman who only knows how to compete for favor in the harem, and she has a majesty that emanates from her eyebrows, which makes people dare not force her eyes!
"Slut! Look at the good things you do! When Liu Bei heard this, his body was stunned, and then he threw a letter to the ground angrily!
Empress Dowager He lowered her eyebrows and glanced down, and when she saw the appearance of the letterhead, she knew what was going on. Immediately, the flowers lost color, why did the letter he wrote to Zhou Qi fall into Liu Bei's hands!
"Mother, queen mother, are you really having an affair with that thief Zhou Qi? Why are you like this, why? "Although Liu Wei is young, as an emperor, the affairs of men and women are precocious. Seeing his mother like this, he knew that what the imperial uncle said before could not be wrong. Under the extreme anger, tears flowed and he asked loudly.
"This!" When Empress Dowager He heard her biological son ask, the secret matter of her friendship with Zhou Qi was revealed, and she was embarrassed and embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer!
"Hmph, the facts are there, and you can't be sophistry! Your Majesty, you should also send this slut who messed up the court and disgraced the ancestors into the cold palace, and according to the legal system of the ancestors, give him a horse of white silk and a glass of wine, and make him judge himself to thank him for his crimes! Your Majesty's reputation will be damaged, and this matter should be sooner rather than later! ”
"You!" Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bei angrily, and was about to speak, but saw that the sergeants on both sides were under the command of this person, holding swords and soldiers in their hands, not only surrounding the palace and persecuting herself, but also faintly threatening the safety of her son. The anger that rose in his heart was instantly dissipated by this deep helplessness.
I'm afraid that I will not be able to escape death this time, if I can keep the throne of Zhu'er by my own death, then that's it!
"Distinguish, just do what your imperial uncle says, and make an order." Empress Dowager He slowly closed her eyes, and two tears slipped down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes. His hands were tight, but he held the perfume bottle that he had not had time to put down even tighter.
"If so, in this way, act ...... according to what Uncle Huang said" Liu Wei looked at his mother with teary eyes, his voice was like a mosquito, and he said as if he was lost in despair, and before he finished speaking, he turned over and fainted to the ground.
"Debate!" Empress He was anxious about her son, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the sergeants on both sides!
"Someone! Take this slut away! Liu Bei saw that the overall situation had been decided, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers to escort the Empress Dowager He to the cold palace!
"The mourning family will go! Wait and wait outside the palace, and after the mourning family changes clothes, you will come out! Empress Dowager He's eyes were cold, her eyes glanced left and right, her posture was gorgeous, and her face was dignified. A group of sergeants were forced by her, where did they dare to reach out and touch her.
Liu Bei glanced at Xia Mu and the others behind him, helped Liu Wei, the son of heaven, dispersed the palace maids, and slowly withdrew from the palace.
The huge Longevity Palace, in a blink of an eye, only the Empress Dowager He was left.
"Zhou Lang, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in this life. The day you get together is the happiest time for the slave family. If you and I meet in the next life, the slave family will definitely be your woman. Empress Dowager He slowly walked to the dresser and sat down, reaching out to pull the bun on her forehead. Place the perfume bottle on your face and rub it gently. Muttering to himself.
After that, Empress Dowager He lifted the dark grid, and took out a porcelain vase wrapped in red silk with trembling hands. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the mouth of the bottle, raised his head and drank the liquid in the bottle!
As soon as the liquid medicine enters the abdomen, the abdominal pain is like a strangulation, like a knife!
Empress Dowager He struggled to stand up, staggered to the couch, and slowly lay down with all her strength. As a trace of bright red blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, a generation of Cleopatra was gone, and the fragrance disappeared.
To death, she still held the perfume bottle tightly and pressed it to her chest, with an expectant smile on her lips.
In the early winter of 184, the snow fell in Luoyang, and Liu Bei, the right general of the protectorate, led the army to the side of the Qing monarch, beheaded the general He Jin at the noon gate, and the Empress Dowager He was afraid of crime and self-refereed in the Longevity Palace. Since the death of Emperor Ling, the crumbling Eastern Han Dynasty regime has once again ushered in a change of power.
Liu Bei made great achievements because of this, was favored by the Son of Heaven, and officially stepped onto the political stage of the capital Luoyang.
The ministers discussed together and drew up the ten major crimes of Jingnan Hou Zhou Qi that night. Hide but not send, just wait for him to lead the army north to capture it, and announce it to the world!
At the same time, on the official road outside Luoyang City, a snow-white horse was flying with all four hooves, speeding in the starry night! Immediately knighted, wrapped in a snow-white fox fur, with a tulle on his face. Under the cold moonlight, although it is night, it is difficult to hide the beauty between the eyebrows.
A man and a horse are like a turbid lotus, fluttering away.
"The father-in-law is above, and the unfilial daughter Diao Chan kowtows. inherited the grace of his father's many years of nurturing, and he should have served in the mansion at night. However, her daughter also received great favor from others, and on the day of the fire in the other courtyard, she and Zhou Lang met sincerely, and their innocence was gone, and they no longer thought about the two. Now the queen mother is in trouble, the holy hearing is blinded, and her daughter is entrusted by Zhou Lang, so the starry night does not say goodbye and goes to find him to thank him for his sins. With the letter, the unfilial daughter paused again, only hoping that in the next life, she would tie a grass ring to repay her father's ....... ”
In the Zhongyu History Mansion, Wang Yun stared at the letter left by the righteous girl Diao Chan in his hand, and his brows were deeply locked
"Cicada, you have left your father-in-law after all. I only hope that Zhou Qi can live up to expectations and become a person you can trust for life. ”
After that, Wang Yun lit the lamp of the book.
"It's okay to leave like this, if the old man is not bad, I'm afraid that what should come will come in a blink of an eye." Wang Yun muttered to himself. Dressed in neat court clothes, he sat in the middle hall. Seems to be waiting for something.
Just after the second watch, outside the door of the house, there was a faint sound of neat footsteps. Not for a moment. A heavy knock could be heard in the distance.
Wang Yun's eyes froze.
"Come on, put down the swords! Open the door quickly! ”
The general of the house was in shock, holding a sword on guard, and suddenly heard the old man's message. After looking at each other for a while, Yi Yan collected his blade and opened the door of the mansion.
As soon as the gate opened, a group of neatly draped and heavily armed sergeants rushed in. In the flickering light of the torches in their hands, Xia Mu strode out from behind with two military generals, all the way to the middle hall.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Lord Xia to come at this time, Wang Yun has been waiting for a long time."
"Humph! Wang Yun, I have heard that you have a close relationship with Zhou Qi, the Marquis of Jingnan. Now that he has done such an ugly thing that defies the condemnation of the world, you will not be able to escape it! ”
"Xia Mou, it is difficult for the bird to know the ambition of the bird. Zhou Qi's son, Duan Feier and other people can see the whole picture. Let you take it away today, don't say much. ”
Xia Mu heard what Wang Yun said, and there was a burst of doubt in his heart. This old man is so calm, is there anything else to rely on? Left and right tomorrow, the court will hand him over to His Majesty. Let him be as quick as his tongue is for a while!
That night, Wang Yun was taken to the heavenly prison and imprisoned, just waiting for the Son of Heaven to fall. The good situation that Zhou Qi originally carefully laid out fell with Liu Bei's entry into Beijing.
At this point, there are still a full 72 hours left until the end of the second phase of the mission!
