Two-six-five: Reconciliation

When it came to the next ring, the eunuchs of the Xuanshu Hall sent a pot of peach from the Western Regions

The palace people of Jiaofang Hall washed these peaches, put them in fruit pots, brought them up, and asked with a smile, "Queen Mother, do you want to taste them?" ”

After Zhang Yan came to this time and space, she couldn't help but be a little stunned when she saw Pu Tao for the first time

"Niangniang probably doesn't recognize this fruit?" Xin Yi smiled and said, "It is said that this fruit is called Pu Tao, which was originally not available in the Han Dynasty, and was brought back by Du Xiaohou from the Yue Clan thousands of miles away."

Zhang Yan was puzzled, "Du Xiaohou? ”

"Exactly"

"I heard that Du Shizhong returned from the Yueshi and not only did a lot of trade, but also exchanged for the good horses of the Yueshi clan, and everyone thanked him for his merits, so they named him a Guannei Hou"

Liu Ying succeeded to the throne for only ten years, most of the princes of the imperial court were divided by military merits when they founded the country, and the weight of a list of marquis was far greater than that of a few decades ago, the founding heroes withered away, the imperial power increased, and the public could not tolerate it when they were allowed to go against their will, and a nobody could obtain the same status as the marquis who he had fought hard by virtue of "small things" Therefore, Du Heng made an envoy to the Yueshi, although it was also regarded as a small contribution, but it could only be awarded a nineteenth rank duke

This pot of peach, the color is dark purple, the quality is good, the round is not even a little flawed, it looks extremely cute, Zhang Yan took a peach and tasted it, splashed sweet purple juice in the mouth, sweet as honey, it seems to have the taste of the unique sunshine in the northwest, and for a while, the thoughts in my heart were complicated, and the corners of my eyes showed a nostalgic look

Xin Yi observed his words, and asked cautiously, "The little eunuch who sent Pu Tao is still waiting outside, do you want to summon him in and ask?" ”

Zhang Yan glanced at the palace people in the hall, it seemed that Liu Ying was really popular in her Jiaofang Palace, although she didn't dare to speak, but her eyes and veins wanted to say good things for Liu Ying without a trace

She lazily replied, "Whatever you are"

Xin Yi lifted his spirits and said, "The slave will bring him in."

After a while, a little eunuch in green was brought in by the palace people, knelt on the ground in the hall, and bowed to the ground, "The slave knocks on the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is happy and happy."

Xin Yi looked at Zhang Yan's expression and asked with a smile, "What's your name, you sent Pu Tao over?" ”

"The slave's name is Anze," the little eunuch replied with a smile, "It is on everyone's orders to send a peach to the queen's mother."

Xin Yi picked up a peach and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, although we are people around the queen's mother, over the years, we have seen any rare treasures, but I really haven't seen this peach, you tell the mother."

An Ze bowed again and replied with a smile, "No"

"So that Niangniang learned that this peach fruit, it is said to be a kind of summer fruit in the Western Regions, the taste is sweet, but it is soft and easy to break, difficult to transport, Du Xiaohou brought five baskets back, but when he arrived in Chang'an, opened and checked, most of them were rotten, and he ordered people to pick and choose only half of the basket, and gave it to everyone to let everyone divide it, and sent some to the two prime minister's mansions, as well as the Marquis of Jiang, Zongzheng's mansion, and gave the Xinyang Marquis Mansion, and the rest was divided into two halves, and half entered the Changle Palace, The other half was sent to the queen mother to send this pot to the Jiaofang Palace, which was picked by everyone's own hands, and the grains were huge and round."

To be able to be on an errand in the Xuanshu Palace, even if it is the lowest-level sprinkler palace sweeper, he is naturally smart and clever, An Ze is quick-tongued, and his words are clear, and he secretly looked at Queen Zhang, but saw Queen Zhang sitting on the couch, her side face was stunned, and there was no expression.

"I know that you went to find Du Xiaohou, and said that I want to plant a peach at the well in front of the Jiaofang Palace, and ask him to give one or two peach branches, so that I can plant it for you to run such a trip, Yuzhang, take five hundred yuan to reward"

An Ze was stunned, then lowered his head, and answered, "No"

Zhang Yan instructed Shi Nan, "Bring the eldest princess over"

She took Liu Zhi's hand, sat on the couch, and said with a smile, "This is the peach sent by your Ah Weng, do you like it?" Well, okay, let's say 'Peach' and 'Peach'—"

……

Speaking of which, even if she was lucky to form an alliance with the Yueshi is Xinping Hou who "proposed" in the book, and later brought a large number of silk to the Yue family's Du shì, who was also recommended by Xinping Hou, and now, Du Heng returned with honor, and Xinping Hou's mansion made great contributions At this time, even if it was Empress Lu, it was not good to say anything to her

After she took a bath, she wiped her head with a silk scarf, watched "The Legend of the Ram" under the palace lamp for a while, yawned, felt sleepy, and said to the palace people, "What time is it?" ”

Fuyao looked at the leak in the hall and replied, "It's almost the beginning of the year" At this hour on weekdays, he had already fallen asleep

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, and then said loudly, "Go to bed"

In the front hall of Weiyang, after today's discussion of the ministers, everyone knelt down to worship the Son of Heaven and went out of the palace gate

After sitting down in the east wing of the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Ying said, "...... In addition to trade and good horses, after Du Heng returned, he still had an important matter: it was Anzhi, the current king of the Yue clan, who sent me a sī letter, saying that he hated the cruelty of the Xiongnu and was willing to fight with the Xiongnu, hoping that the Han could attack the Xiongnu with him. ”

There was a moment of silence in the east chamber

Speaking of which, the Yue clan and the Han land are located on both sides of the Xiongnu, separated by the Xiongnu territory and the Qiang land, and the difference in property is very different, and the exchange is very good for both countries, but Anzhi is ambitious, and the Han has to be cautious

Chen Ping made up his mind, so he persuaded,

"Your Majesty, although we have formed an alliance with the Yue Clan, but the Xiongnu are also the country of the Han Dynasty and the relatives, and the princess of Chu is still in the tent of Maodun now, if she takes the initiative to attack the Xiongnu at this time, not to mention that it violates the original agreement with her relatives, so that the princess of Chu is in danger; If it wins, forget it, if there is one or two poor pools in the middle, the Han Dynasty will no longer be able to settle in the north."

He was so cautious, Liu Ying didn't do anything, so he annoyed Zhou Bo first, snorted, and said, "Prime Minister Chen is just too careful, what if we make peace with the Huns?" That is, there is a princess of Chu State, in the seventh year of the previous century, didn't the Xiongnu have invaded the north on a large scale? ”

The Han-Hun war, the impact on the Han Dynasty, far exceeded the war itself, as the son of heaven Liu Ying, almost fell into the north, the princes and kings who heard the news were ready to move, the situation in Chang'an City was about to touch, a little careless, I was afraid that the Han would fall into the disaster of the country

"They can move our ideas unscrupulously, so we can't take advantage of the war between the Xiongnu and the Yue Clan, and make a little robbery?"

Chen Ping's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said patiently, "Marquis Jiang, I know that you are a martial artist, and you are happy to see the battle, but you don't forget the battle of the first emperor Pingcheng, Mao Dun is now prosperous, and the first emperor's military might was defeated and returned to the seventh year of the first century, the Han army fought another battle with the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang, although it ended in a draw, but the discerning people know that the Han is suffering a big loss at this time, you want to pry your majesty to war, it is really inappropriate"

"What about the Huns?"

Zhou Bo resisted his neck and said, "The first emperor always had the courage to fight with the Huns, but he was betrayed by Han Wangxin, and he planned in Pingcheng, so he lost the Han Dynasty There were hundreds of thousands of male soldiers back then, if you fight with the Huns in a dignified manner, you don't know who wins and who loses. ”

"Okay" Liu Ying stroked his forehead and stopped, "The prime minister and the marquis should talk about things, and there is no need to fight for anger."

The two of them were ashamed, and they both took a step back, and bowed again, "No"

"The minister is also willing to fight with the Huns, but now it seems that it is not the time to fight with the Huns."

Chen Ping had calmed down and said carefully, "Since we have obtained the good horses of the Yue Clan, we must first improve the horse breed; And the Yueshi is far away from the Han, and we don't know that the Yue's king's mind is not suitable for the Han to use swords with the Xiongnu now, and the Yueshi has enough strength to fight against the Xiongnu? If you can't be very sure, if the big Han really sends troops, but the Yue clan can't fight, it's really a joke."

Chen Pingtiao's analysis is convincing, even the Marquis Zhou Bo can't refute Liu Ying this time After asking the Zuo Prime Minister Wang Ling, he ordered, "Order the imperial history in the Cheng Cao Cave to draft a letter of state, and reply to the king of the Yue family"

"In a tactful tone," he instructed, "Although this joint attack is not successful, I still hope to continue to cooperate with the Yueshi in the future."

Because she was busy with Yue's affairs, when Liu Ying returned to Jiaofang Palace, it was already very late, and Han Lian personally greeted her, served Liu Ying, and said softly, "Everyone, the queen has already fallen asleep."

Liu Ying said "Hmm" Seeing that Han Lian was already smiling and retreating with the other shì people in Jiaofang Palace, she was stunned for a moment and came to her senses, today, Ah Yan did not have any special orders to stop herself from entering her dormitory

He hesitated for a moment, after all, he didn't take a good look at Ah Yan for several days, and still entered the dormitory

Only a dim sheep's horn palace lamp was lit in the hall, and Zhang Yan was lying on the Nanmu G crystal bamboo in the hall, already sleeping deeply

He sat down on the edge of the couch and looked at his sleeping wife

Because it was the height of summer, Zhang Yan only wore a small yellow dress when she fell asleep, lying on her side in the direction of the curtain, her legs slightly bent, and her hands in front of her, revealing her slender waist and a palm-sized face

Although he frowned coldly when he was awake, he looked a little pale and weak after falling asleep

Liu Ying smiled slightly bitterly at Ah Yan's concession, is it because she misses the peach she sent, or because she has just been reprimanded by her mother and has to do this?

Ah Yan was already asleep, and if he couldn't answer his question, he couldn't be sure, and he didn't know whether he should stay like this After all, although Ah Yan didn't let the palace people stop him anymore, he didn't explicitly invite him in

was hesitating, suddenly heard a muttering voice from Ah Yan in her sleep, frowned slightly between her eyebrows, turned to the side, Liu Ying was a jī spirit, stretched out her hand to hug her slippery body, unconsciously, but snuggled into her arms again

He was stunned for a while as if he had been struck by lightning, and looked intently, under the dim candlelight of the lamp in the sheep's horn palace outside the tent, Ah Yan's expression was calm, her breathing was gentle, and she was obviously not really awake, but she was used to it for a while, and she couldn't think about it, so she could only sit in place and stay motionless, which was already stupid

……

The next day, when Zhang Yan woke up, the sky was slightly bright, and it was already midday

"The mother is up"

Shi Nan came in with a copper basin, took out the handkerchief from the hot soup and wrung it out, and waited for Zhang Yan to freshen up

After dropping the hot towel for the face, Zhang Yan asked, "Didn't Your Majesty come back last night?" ”

"I'm back."

Shi Nan smiled, "Your Majesty went back to the Jiaofang Hall last night when he was in the middle of the day, and he got up at the beginning of this morning, maybe the mother slept too soundly and didn't hear it."

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered slightly

The husband of Huainan, who had been married for half a month, was about to return to Huainan and enter the palace to bid farewell to the Son of Heaven and Empress Zhang

“…… I've been in Chang'an, I've always wanted to leave Chang'an to take a look outside, but now I'm really leaving, but I feel reluctant," Yongke said with a smile

The vassal king could not leave the vassal kingdom for no reason, and it was impossible for her to return to Chang'an for a long time to come

Zhang Yan smiled and comforted her, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed"

The old chapter does not end, how to start the journey?

Speaking of which, if it were in an ordinary family, she and Yongke would be concubines, but they would have to be together all their lives, but now that they are like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet again in the future

Zhang Yan smiled and asked, "Do you think Princess Huainan's wedding day is good?" ”

"Very good" Yongke's face flashed a shy smile, but a pair of eyes were extremely bright, "I'm not afraid of the mother to laugh, before marrying into the royal family, the concubines are still afraid of the prince's temper These days, in the Huainan Mansion, the prince is the prince and the concubines who treat the concubines very well are pampered at home, the concubines love to eat rice, but the prince loves to eat millet rice, I will discuss with the prince, eat rice a day, eat millet a day, can I go back to the door, but A-Niang scolded me"

"Oh?" Zhang Yan smiled, "What did the old lady say?" ”

"A-Niang said to me," Yong Ke said solemnly, "As a wife, it is necessary to respect the husband and wife, and the husband respects the husband and wife."

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, looking slightly stunned

After sending Yongke away, Zhang Yan turned around and saw a round of red sun hanging above the Jiaofang Palace, emitting dazzling light

She asked, "Say, am I going too far?" ”

Tu Yu breathed a sigh of relief

These days, she watched the awkward quarrel between the queen and the emperor's husband and wife, and she was very anxious, but she knew Empress Zhang's temper very well, although she seemed to be squeamish, she had a very stubborn spleen in her bones, and she decided that the nine cows couldn't pull it back, if she let it be, she wanted to come to the queen for a few days to watch Her Majesty endure it, and she might feel guilty; But if the people around him come forward to persuade him, I am afraid that it may arouse Zhang Yan's rebellious mentality, and I am afraid that I want to go away

Now, since she has spoken like this, she can't hold it anymore when she thinks about it

"The slave maid doesn't know if the queen's approach is right or wrong," Tu Yu's voice couldn't help but reveal a slight joy, "It's just that the slave maid thought: Everyone has been thinking about these days, and there are still many beautiful women and seven sons who have been left out in the court of Niangniang Weiyang Palace, but everyone only loves Niangniang, and has not paid attention to them, if Niangniang and everyone are angry this time, but let those concubines take advantage of the loopholes, everyone is discouraged, and they turn to those concubines, Niangniang will regret it."

Zhang Yan escaped a soft "hum" sound from her nose,

Zhang Yan put down the rabbit pen dipped in green paint, took one from the pen holder, and said angrily, "He dare?" ”

She added the last round of red sun to the painting, emitting a thousand golden lights

Stack up the pen, wait for the painting to be dried by the wind and shade, then take it down and roll it into a scroll, and hand it to Tu Yu, "You send this to the Xuanshu Palace, give it to Your Majesty, and see if Your Majesty is busy If you are busy, forget it, if you are not busy, help me send him a message......

People who want to say something, but don't know what to say, will wait until this episode is over, and then talk to everyone?
