230: Rain harvest

"Okay" Empress Lu waved her hand and said, "Manhua, if you come to see me as a mother, the door of my Changxin Palace will be open for you at any time, but if you are just to intercede for Ah Yan, you don't have to open your mouth."

"But, the Queen Mother—"

Lu Yuan was a little anxious for a while

Since Zhang Yan came back, more than half a month has passed, Zhang Yan has been happy, trapped in the Xinping Marquis Mansion to recuperate, emaciated even more bleak than when she first came back, she is a mother, distressed and anxious, and in the queen mother, she has always been invincible and frustrated, her face turned red, and followed behind Lu Hou, through the vermilion curtain hanging heavily in Changxin Palace

"Aunt Lu Yuan," Lu Yi stopped Lu Yuan's footsteps outside the palace gate and persuaded, smiling shallowly, revealing a delicate pear vortex, bright and bright, "I know you feel sorry for the queen, but, look,"

She pouted in the hall, "Grandmother is still angry, why don't you come back in a few days, these days, I'm helping to say some good things to the queen in my aunt's ear, don't worry, the queen mother will definitely forgive the queen's mistakes"

……

Although Lu Yuan felt that there was always something wrong with Lu Yi's words, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and said gratefully, "Wu Niang, thank you."

"Eldest princess," Kou An, the eunuch of Changle Palace, came to her and said softly, "The Queen Mother asks you to go back"

She stood in front of the gate of Empress Lu's palace, stood blankly for a while, sighed, turned around and walked out with the little yellow door that led the way

As in the past half a month, it has been fruitless

This is not a way to go on after all

Lu Yuan pondered

I don't know why, Ah Yan leaned on the sickbed, and only a handful of bones were left in the thin state, and she appeared in front of her

Even though she is sick and weak like this, thinking of her mother's indifferent attitude now, Ah Yan is still uneasy

This kind of uneasiness even affected Ah Yan's emotions and although her body tried her best to suppress it, as a mother, she still knew that Ah Yan not only couldn't let go, but became more and more worried

"Eldest Princess," Xiao Huangmen looked back in amazement and exclaimed, "What are you going to do here?" ”

She turned around impulsively and ran towards the Changxin Hall where Empress Lu lived, and the wooden sandals of white embroidered peony silk shoes were speeding down the corridor, making the sound of stamping

"Eldest princess, you can't—" The attendants were dumbfounded, and stepped forward to stop them

"I'm going in," Lu Yuan glared angrily

The gentle and honest eldest princess lost her temper for the first time in the Changxin Palace, and the attendants all retreated, and Lu Yuan rushed in

In the inner hall, Lu Yi accompanied Lu Hou, who was waiting for Lu Hou to use a bowl of barley fish fillet soup and a lotus tongue, which made Lu Hou laugh, and heard the noise of the palace door, a figure rushed in, looked up in surprise, and said in amazement, "Aunt Lu Yuan, why are you ......?" ”

"Queen Mother," Lu Yuan rushed to his mother's side, squatted down, and said, "Don't be so ruthless, what do you want us to do, what do you want Ah Yan to do, and you are willing to let go?" ”

Empress Lu snorted, stacked the wooden ladle in the soup bowl, and made a gentle collision sound, "What are you talking about?" Could it be that he wants to threaten Hongu? The voice was extremely displeased, revealing a cold aura

Lu Yuan said sadly, "Queen Mother, you know that I am stupid, don't misunderstand, but, Queen Mother, you believe me, Ah Yan really wants to come over to see you in person, and what makes you confess is that she was pressed in the Hou Mansion by His Majesty, and instructed all the maids around her not to let Ah Yan leave her eyes......

"You haven't seen it," Lu Yuan's eyes turned red, and he sobbed, "What does Ah Yan look like now, like a piece of paper, when the wind blows, I'm afraid that she will run away and eat something, and after a while, it will all be vomited We are very sad to see it, but she doesn't want us to worry, she hides it, laughs when we meet, and also said that she really wants to come to Changle Palace to ask the queen mother for her situation, that is, Your Majesty is a big man, smiling and comforting her in person, but the back is sad and tight I have a few times, in the summer garden back people, I saw His Majesty in the dark......"

Lu Yi bit his lip and retracted his steps, standing in the shadows of the corner beside him, smiling to himself

No matter how much flattery, no matter how clever the words, they can't compare to the mother-daughter relationship of others, and if one is unsatisfactory, he dares to break into the palace; As soon as the circles under the eyes are red here, the feelings over there will be moved

“…… The day after Ah Yan came back, after knowing that she couldn't get out of bed, she wrote a letter to the queen mother that she had made a mistake before, and she didn't ask her to forgive her immediately, but only asked her to give her a chance to admit her mistakes."

"Okay," Lu Hou said lightly, "Are you so pitiful?" Do you give the letter to Sumo? ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

Lu Yuan was stunned and raised his head in a daze

These days, she has been eating behind closed doors with Empress Lu, and at this time, she suddenly saw that Empress Lu was relieved, and she was stunned for a while

"Not happy?" Empress Lu glanced at her and said angrily, "If you are not happy, I am not happy."

……

When the sun turned west, Lu Yuan and Lu Yi had retired, Su Mo cleaned up the hall, picked up the letterhead of Empress Zhang on the case, and asked Empress Lu, "Queen Mother, this queen's handwritten letter, do you want to read it now......"

"Put it there," Lu Hou said lazily

The Eight Treasures Sheep's Horn Palace lamp emits a soft light in the magnificent Changxin Dormitory, and Empress Lu freshens up and goes to bed, sits down in front of the dresser, and the palace people hold the cypress leaf ointment, and gently apply it to her hands and feet, she looks at the faint green plaster, and can't help but move

Speaking of which, this cypress leaf paste is still the recipe provided by Ah Yan back then

Back then, the young Ah Yan heard that her grandmother had endured frostbite for many years because she was in Chu Yingzhi, so she rummaged through ancient books and finally found this cypress leaf paste and gave it to herself

Over the years, she has insisted on using it, and the old diseases have really gradually improvedThis winter, Chang'an is as cold as in previous years, and her hands have no signs of red itching in the past, and there is no more chilblains

She glanced over casually, and saw Ah Yan's letter, Su Mo deliberately pressed under the tortoiseshell peony quadruple Ruyi makeup box on the dresser, which was extremely conspicuous, and she could see it when she looked over, so she raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, and unfolded it hastily to read

Ah Yan didn't use too many emotional words on the paper, or used the love of her ancestors and grandchildren for many years to play the emotional card, but only used a few lines, admitting that she was not thoughtful at the beginning, and left the palace willfully for a while, which caused Liu Ying to fall into danger later, making herself worried in Changle Palace, and she was really unfilial and only worshiped Yunyun again

When sleeping at night, it is not suitable to drink tea Every night, Lv Hou has to use a sheep ** to apply a face, Su Mo came in with a hot ** basin, and saw Lv Hou lazily leaning on the big gold silk Nan Xuan lacquer bed screen, the white paper was unfolded and put aside, so he smiled, "Yo, the Queen Mother is finally willing to read"

Empress Lu didn't answer, but suddenly said, "What is Your Majesty's whereabouts these days?" ”

“…… Isn't that the case" Su Mo replied casually, "Although Your Majesty feels sorry for the queen's mother, and goes to visit the Xinping Marquis Mansion every day, you have never missed the political affairs, I heard that the third meeting of the ministers will be held this month, and I think about it, this time the matter of the ranking of heroes can be settled."

The day will dawn, and the military officials and princes who live in various lanes in Chang'an City are wearing solemn dresses, and they have never entered the palace from the north of Yang, and have gone up the steps of the front hall all the way until they have come to the majestic palace of Weiyang

In the inner palace, as soon as the attendants responded, the regular attendants were also silent, waiting for the Son of Heaven to come out of the Xuanshu Palace

This is the most solemn place in the Han Dynasty, and every edict that affects the lives of the people in the Han Dynasty is transmitted from this place, and then read under the Beique, and finally transmitted to all counties and counties across the country

Chang Guan Sheng's shrill voice said highly, "Your Majesty has arrived"

Therefore, all the attendants, regular attendants, and the guards in front of the palace knelt down, put their foreheads on their bowing hands, and wished, "Your Majesty is happy and happy"

On the majestic Weiyang front hall, the group ribbon hangs down from the curtain of the pillar, and the left prime minister's tomb raises the wat board, and respectfully says, "After the discussion of the ministers, the preliminary ranking of the heroes is as follows, and please also ask Your Majesty to take a look"

Liu Ying said with a smile, "The original intention is to increase everyone's prestige, but if it hurts the harmony of the ministers, it will not be beautiful" Although the meaning of the language is gentle, it already has some indescribable looming momentum, and the most coarse Taiwei Zhou Bo has closed his mouth

After more than a month of deliberation by hundreds of officials and ministers, the ranking of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty was read out by Han Changliu on the front hall:

The first Hou Xiao He,

Second Pingyang Yihou Cao Shen,

The third week, Lü Lingwu, Marquis Lü Ze,

Fourth, the king of Zhao Zhang Er,

Zhou Bo, the Fifth Marquis,

Sixth Dance Yang Wuhou Fan Xu,

The seventh song, Zhou Jinghou Lishang

……

During the dispute between Chu and Han, the ministers were knighted by virtue of their military merits, and no one could fake their military merits, but there were always some small reasons, some slight differences, for example, although Lu Ze, the uncle of the Son of Heaven, was quite meritorious, but the merit was the third, and it was roughly for the sake of the Empress Dowager Lu of Changle Palace; Therefore, Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, ranked fourth as the queen's father, and it was also a vague statement by the ministers

- The people who can mix in the court are all human spirits, even if they are the most coarse and unscrupulous Wuyang Hou Fan and Zhou Bo, and Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, although they are arrogant on their faces, they actually have another detailed account in their hearts

About Empress Zhang, the Son of Heaven kept her news secret this year, and tried her best to maintain it, the hearts of the ministers are all Xue Liang and the court, except for Empress Zhang, the rest of the concubines are from low backgrounds, at this time, there is no offended Empress Dowager Lu of the East Palace for the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, as well as the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, the Marquis of Xinping, the truth of the line of this evaluation, the ministers jointly agreed on the father of the Marquis of Xinping, so the seat of King Zhang Er of Zhao is the conclusion of the coffin of Empress Zhang in this year

After all, there is no reason for the eldest father to find trouble with his granddaughter as soon as he gains glory

On the front hall, Liu Ying closed her eyes and listened carefully, and the monarch and the ministers did not move their eyebrows, so they tacitly understood each other, so they put this matter at ease

Liu Ying suddenly said, "The result of the ministers' discussion, I have already understood it, but I have an objection, that is, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin."

He got up, stared at the ministers, and said with a smile, "When I was young, I heard the first emperor praise the brave and martial arts of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and although my Han God of War suffered a loss in the late season and could not die well, such a person, in my Han Dynasty's founding heroes, was only seventy-sixth?" ”

mentioned the person who used to be like the sky, the front palace was under the court, and the ministers were dumbfounded for a while

Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin, on merits, enough to fight against Xiao He, was the first emperor to be named the king of Qi, and then migrated to the king of Chu, the first emperor traveled to Yunmengze at night, captured Han Xin, and transferred to Huaiyin Marquis Huaiyin Marquis was not angry, when Chen Feng rebelled against Emperor Gao's personal conquest, he made an appointment with him to meet with him, intending to move the prisoners, capture and kill Queen Lu and Liu Ying, who was the prince at the time, because of the secret, Queen Lu knew in advance, and ordered Xiao He to announce his entry into the palace, and killed him in the bell room of Changle Palace with a bamboo stick

"The ministers don't have to shy away from it,"

Liu Yinglang laughed loudly, "If there is no Marquis of Huaiyin, this Han Dynasty may not be the Liu family's heart, but the Marquis of Huaiyin has a loss in the late season, and finally dies as the king of the Han Dynasty, and he is open-minded, and he does not want to suppress his reputation in vain," he pondered slightly, and said, "The Marquis of Huaiyin is ranked eighth, but the Marquis of Huaiyin died for rebellion after all, and the sacrifice was not allowed to enter the high temple."

Chen Ping, the right minister, raised the wat board and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister seconds the proposal."

The tomb of the king of the left minister also bowed respectfully, "the minister also seconded the proposal"

In history, Empress Lu was called a woman, in order to win the loyalty of Liu Bang's old ministers, so he ranked the ministers of the founding of the country, the legendary military god of the Han Dynasty, but finally died in her hands, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was only placed in the seventy-sixth place without attracting attention

As for the early years of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xuan, Yingbu and others, who also made outstanding contributions and were crowned princes and kings, had long been accused of rebellion, and the rebellion was ultimately a rebellion, and it was impossible to be forgiven by the Son of Heaven, and naturally no one mentioned it without interest

Liu Ying detained the imperial performance on the case, "In this case, the founding hero seat will be finalized by this performance, three days later, I personally went to the high temple to worship the first emperor, and moved the tablet of the heroes who had died before into the high temple with the hall In addition, and the Weiyang Palace Cangchi set up Lingyun Pavilion, and ordered the Jinmamen painter to wait for the edict to draw the portrait of Zhuqing, and enshrine it"

Before the front hall of Weiyang, the military officials all stretched their sleeves and bowed to the ground, "respectfully promised"

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the rebel armies from all walks of life set up anti-flags one after another, and these forces in the world were finally scattered, and only the Han of the Liu family unified the original land

The brightest of the men are gone, and most of the remaining ones are either reckless or mediocre emperors, who were still a little weak in the past, and have gradually grown up to become a qualified monarch, well versed in the way of the door, and light on weight

In the Changxin Hall at night, the vermilion curtain hung down, less solemn in the daytime, and more charming

Empress Lu sat in the wine-red phoenix brocade, and smiled behind her, "I heard that in the ranking of heroes in the day, Ah Xian you are ranked seventy-sixth?" ”

The majestic bun belonging to the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty was removed, and the green silk was draped down, and the Empress Dowager Lu, who was gradually aging, still had a trace of the beauty of her youth in the bed, softening the rigid lines

"Yes" Judging it humbly smiled, bowed his hand to Weiyang Palace, and said respectfully, "It's all Your Majesty's love, but it is not a good merit to judge it, and it is really deserved."

"What's that" Lu Hou turned around and kissed his lips, his voice slurred and disapproving,

"The saint rules the world with filial piety, perhaps, you really have no achievements in laying down this great Han country, but in the past, I served the emperor in Chu Ying and helped me, therefore, for Your Majesty, for the entire Liu clan, you are gracious If someone remembers the history of his year, the seventy-sixth of the Marquis of Biyang, this line of words, you are worthy of it"

It was difficult to judge his feelings, so he hugged the body of Empress Lu and the palace of Changxin, which was charming

"Speaking of which, the little prince in the queen's womb should be almost six months old"

The smile behind Lu sank suddenly, and the intoxicated phoenix eyes gradually sharpened, and he snorted coldly, "Why, a seventy-sixth meritorious hero bought our Biyang Marquis?" ”

Concentrate:

: About the ranking of the founding heroes

In fact, this paragraph should be the information I checked two years ago, but I gradually forgot it, and when I rewrote it today, I had to check it again, so it was delayed

: Regarding the exploits of the Lü clan in the founding of the Han Dynasty, this book refers to the "A Brief Discussion on the Lü Clan's Armament in the Process of Han Determination of the World", which sets up that the Lü clan had an independent armed force during the Chu and Han disputes, and the meritorious service was enough to crown the king, but because Liu Bang deliberately suppressed the Lü clan, the Lü clan's exploits were downplayed

: About Zhang's position in the list of meritorious heroes

In fact, looking at the historical records, I personally don't think Zhang Er's meritorious service is so great, but Liu Bang sealed his king Liu Bang was the king of the opposite sex in the early days, and they should all have a certain independent force to vote, therefore, Zhang Er can be crowned king, and Xiao He and Cao Shen are just a Hou Later, the kings with different surnames were overthrown by Liu Bang, except for Zhang, because Zhang Ao was Liu Bang's son-in-law, he deposed the throne, but he also got a Hou here, Zhang Ao because he was the brother-in-law and father-in-law of the emperor Liu Ying, the ministers gave the emperor face, and Zhang Ao's father, That is, Zhang Yan's grandfather Zhang Er's position has been raised, and I personally think so
