Seven days later, King Zhao's chariot and horse arrived at Bashang.

Under the light management of Emperor Gao and Emperor Huidi's father and son, although the national strength of the Han Dynasty was not strong, it became richer and richer day by day.

The waiter in Tsing Yi drove forward and asked outside the car, "But King Zhao is driving?" ”

"yes." From the person answered, "I don't know what Your Excellency is-"

The chubby and simple servant smiled and narrowed a pair of small eyes, raised his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, the slave maid is on the order of your brother to come to welcome you." ”

"What's going on? What's going on? In the back car, Wei Chang got out of the car and walked over, and asked impatiently, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, didn't I say, this is not a few steps away from Chang'an City, even if you have any old friends, you will wait until you enter the palace, meet the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and Weichen have made a difference, will you go again?" ”

The waiter's smile froze slightly, and he turned his face to look at Wei Chang.

"Brother?" Ruyi lifted the handler and wondered, "Which brother of mine?" ”

He looked over, on the side of the Baqiao, there was a Xuanxi Palace car quietly parked, the car was not plugged in, obviously the owner did not want people to see his identity, but the body is spacious, all copper, and the lines on it are exquisite. There are more than a dozen servants under the car, and their faces are not outstanding, but their momentum is calm, and they are not ordinary people. One of the Xuanyi attendants, but he recognized it, was named Changliu, and he had been following Liu Ying, who was still the prince, in the past.

"Brother Emperor." Ruyi lost his voice and called out.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao," the waiter was taken aback by him, and hurriedly said, "Don't make a noise, our master doesn't want to disturb the people, but it's not a big trip." You just go quietly. ”

Ruyi nodded vigorously, held back the tears in his eyes, and jumped out of the car. Pull your legs and run to the palace car.

The palace man saluted slightly, and teased the car for him, "Yo," Liu Ying poked his head out slightly, and was startled when he saw his appearance, "Look at your appearance," he smiled, "I don't know, I think someone has bullied you." ”

Ruyi just didn't speak. He looked at his brother with a blank look, wanting to get closer but a little hesitant. Their brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and they often go out of the palace to play together when they are young. But no matter how intimate the brotherhood is, it can't outweigh the interests of the situation. Since Emperor Gao first mentioned the matter of Yi Chu in the court meeting. and gradually became estranged helplessly.

Later, he was ordered by his father to go to Beijing and go to Handan, Zhao to become king. Although Handan is good, it is his foreign land, although Zhou Xiangguo is loyal. is old, and he has a little choked temper, and he can't get close to him, so when he is alone, he always thinks of Chang'an and his father. Thinking of my mother, I think of my brothers who used to be friendly together.

Actually, he was thinking about his loved ones.

And then. When he returned to Chang'an, the first relative he saw was the emperor's brother.

"How?" Liu Ying's face gradually sank, and she said angrily, "It's hard to do it." Does anyone really dare to bully you, King Zhao? ”

Ruyi curled her lips slightly and complained. "How not? The Han envoy you sent always dealt with me. I'm going to stop, he's going to go. I'm leaving, and he's going to stop. A vigorous and energetic hurry, as if you didn't arrive in Chang'an a day early, you were going to punish his life. ”

Wei Chang shouted "Brother Emperor" from King Zhao, his legs were sifted over there, and after waiting for a while, several palace people came over from the emperor's side, and asked with a flat face, "Which is Wei Chang?" Take him over, trembling and kneeling, the emperor's cold voice came from the palace car in front of him, "Wei Chang, right?" King Zhao is my sibling, the one who gave you the guts to embarrass him all the way? ”

Wei Chang kowtowed again and again, not daring to look at Liu Yingtieqing's complexion, and said, "The minister is thinking about the meaning of the Queen Mother, hoping that King Zhao will enter Beijing sooner, so that he can enjoy the joy of family." ”

He really couldn't imagine that the new emperor in Weiyang Palace was actually such a person, Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, had a grudge with him to seize the throne, not only did he not hold a grudge, but he came to greet him in person, looking like a brotherhood, which was not fake at all.

There is no need to be fake, he is already the new emperor, and King Zhao is the prince king, and the position of the monarch and minister has been decided. Empress Dowager Lu is a heroine among women, defending the throne for him, and the princes and kings of various places are dormant, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they will not show anything on their faces.

"Jokes." Liu Ying was furious and reprimanded, "Even if the queen mother wants to summon King Zhao back to Beijing, she doesn't have to let you practice King Zhao." I can't allow you to splash this dirty water on the Queen Mother. "Turned around and ordered," Fork him to the Tingwei Mansion and hand him over to Tingwei Wang Tian for disposal. Charged with disrespecting the royal family. ”

Wei Chang trembled, and then collapsed on the ground, the edict prison is different from ordinary prisons, it is a prisoner who goes down to the court in person by the emperor, and does not pay attention to crimes, does not pay attention to evidence, everything is subject to the emperor's wishes. During the reign of the first emperor, the former Zhao king Zhang Ao conspired against the case of the edict. Since the Qin Dynasty, the edict prison has always been miserable, and the people who have been in the edict prison usually have no return, like Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, who was only cut off the prince, which is a great luck in misfortune.

At the last glance, he saw King Zhao behind His Majesty, beside the emperor's brother, he finally saw a little more cheerful, glared at himself, his eyebrows were flying, and he felt a kind of childlike pride.

And the estrangement between Emperor Hui and the Zhao Wang brothers due to the distance between time and space gradually disappeared in this small episode.

The royal man shouted, drove across the Baqiao, and headed towards the Xuanping City Gate. In the car, the eighteen-year-old boy Emperor Hui was wearing a Xuanyi, which was different from the upright and gentle when he was the prince, and he already saw some imperial momentum slightly.

"The third brother has been in Handan all these years, everything is good?" When the wheel Linlin rolled over the bluestone brick road, Liu Ying asked out loud, casually cut the melons and fruits in the car, and handed half of them to Ruyi.

"It's okay, but I just want to be in Chang'an." Ruyi lifted the curtain, greedy to see the familiar scenery of Chang'an that was different from the memory, "Hey, the city wall here is up?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Ying also looked outside the car, the two sides of the Xuanping Gate stretched on both sides of the broad east city wall, the soil color is still new, "It was repaired by the people in the first month of spring this year." Only this section has been repaired, if you go back to Chang'an in a few years, the walls of Chang'an will be all built. ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and put down the curtain in his hand.

"Can I still come then?" He smiled weakly, and then asked Liu Ying, "How is my mother now?" ”

"This ......," Liu Ying hesitated.

"Brother Emperor," Ruyi looked directly into his gaze and said stubbornly, "Ruyi has always been grateful to you for protecting each other, Brother Emperor, you have never deceived Ruyi, please tell Ruyi the truth." ”

Liu Ying sighed and finally said. "Mrs. Qi, she's in Yongxiang."

"What?" Ruyi shouted in a lost voice, and the tears fell as soon as the beans fell, his mother who was as delicate as a spring flower, the mother who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, and was too delicate and powerless to even step on the spring, was actually given down to such a rough and shameful place by the Queen Mother in Yongxiang?

He had always guessed that after the death of his father, his mother would not be treated well by Empress Dowager Lu in Chang'an, but he never thought of it. Empress Dowager Lu would do so badly, and send down the most favored concubines of her father to a place where only palace maids who made mistakes would go.

"Does the Queen Mother really not leave a way for our mother and son to live?" Ruyi was angry.

"Ruyi." Liu Yinghan reprimanded, "I don't allow you to talk about my queen mother like that. ”

Mothers may have places where mothers are not. But as a child, once his mother is attacked and hurt, his first reaction is to maintain instinct.

"Isn't that true?" Ruyi didn't give an inch, "If the emperor's brother didn't know the truth, why did he come to pick me up like this?" ”

Because he knows it too. If he hadn't been close to him, and let himself, the King of Zhao, see the Empress Dowager Lu alone, he would probably not have come out.

"Ruyi, you will only blame the Queen Mother, have you ever thought that Mrs. Qi herself has something wrong? If it weren't for the fact that she was still restless in Yongxiang every day, she pointed to the name of the queen mother and scolded her every day. After waiting for the mother, I was a little angry. Naturally, I would persuade her to let Mrs. Qi out. insulting the Empress Dowager," Liu Ying sneered, "She is so bold." Even I feel angry when I hear my temper. Not to mention the Queen Mother? ”

The two of them stood opposite each other like fighting cocks, and after a while, they both softened their voices, "Ruyi," Liu Ying's eyebrows showed a look of exhaustion. "Don't worry. Since you have returned to Chang'an, I will naturally do my best to keep you safe. But if you see Mrs. Qi. Anyway, I have to persuade her, after all, her father has gone, and she still bows her head to the queen mother. Otherwise," he said, "why would I save someone who insulted my mother?" ”

Ruyi was stunned for a while, Xuanche stumbled slightly as he walked forward, shaking with the curtains, and the light that came in also shook on his face, holding down his expression changed, and after a long time, he replied gently, "No." ”

The people outside the car walked respectfully, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and after a long time, they heard the silence in the car, and then they let out a sigh of relief, and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you have arrived at the arsenal." Are you going to Changle Palace? Or go back to Weiyang Palace. ”

"King Zhao has been driving all the way, so let's go back to Weiyang Palace with me for a night, and then go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow." In the car, Liu Ying's faint voice came.

"No." Chang Lu replied.

"Brother Emperor," Ruyi tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "The Queen Mother said that if I return to Chang'an, I must go to see her immediately, and she will hold a banquet in Changle Palace." ”

As he spoke, his eyelashes blinking, revealing a slight hint of unease.

After all, he was still a child, and returned to Chang'an City, where he was now a friend of life and death, and in the closest place to Miyagi, he finally began to have a little fear.

"Really?" Liu Ying groaned and instructed outside the car, "Go to Changle Palace." ”

The attendant replied softly, "No." Then he screamed, reined in the car, and drove off the other way.

"Ruyi." Liu Ying held her brother's hand, smiled and comforted, "Since the queen mother has this good intention, you should not resign, I will accompany you." ”

The candles were lit in turn, and the night slowly shrouded.

Since the death of Emperor Gao, Emperor Hui moved to Weiyang Palace, and Changle Palace became the world of Empress Dowager Lu. On the grounds that the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the pepper room was the main hall of the queen and was not suitable for the queen's own residence, he moved to the Changxin Hall in the west of the palace.

Today, Changxin is full of color, the palace concubine of the cloud holds the food plate, wine and vegetables and fish into it, in the second hall, the arm is thick and the candle is bright, and the Empress Dowager Lu set up a family banquet to invite the dust servants to rush back to Chang'an to meet the new emperor's Zhao Wang.

When she saw Liu Ying, who was dressed in the heavy uniform of the Son of Heaven, and entered the palace with King Zhao Ruyi, on the upper seat, Empress Dowager Lu's face changed slightly, and she said reluctantly kindly, "Your Majesty is working hard in government affairs every day, how can you have time to come to Changle to see me?" ”

"No matter how hard you work, you can't delay the time to say goodbye to the queen mother." Liu Ying naturally laughed and took Ruyi into the seat, "It's just right, Ruyi went back to Chang'an today, our brother hasn't seen him for a long time, I heard that the queen mother set up a banquet for him, and my son also came over to join in the fun." ”

He lifted the ear cup that had been poured on the table and said, "My son wishes for the good health of the queen mother." "Dip your lips and want to drink. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
