On behalf of Wang Heng, the matter of not being in the battle of Cangwolf Mountain was transmitted back to Guanzhong at a rapid speed, and the entire Chang'an City was silent for a while.

The front hall of Weiyang is grand and wide, located on the high platform of Weiyang Palace, the eaves are high, like the eagle with wings spread, and the momentum is vigorous. This is the heart of the Han Empire, every day, the major news from all over the country is transmitted by the messenger into the front hall, and the decision on the fate of the empire is also made here, and the edict is drafted, which is read by the Zhonghuangmen in Weiyang Beique, and handed over to the messenger to be issued throughout the country. At this time, Liu Ying kicked over the Xuanqi Imperial Case with a "bang", and the dripping things spilled down and fell to the ground, and the wide Xuanxi sleeves brought a gust of wind, looking at the courtiers who were lying in the court,

"On behalf of Wang Heng, he died in the Blue Wolf Mountain. You people, when you mention the Huns one by one, you will only persuade me to forbear, and you will only say that the Huns are powerful and powerful, and you can't easily make enemies with them. Heng is the descendant of Emperor Gao, the nobles of Tianhuang, and still have the courage to fight to the death with the Huns, and finally the weapons and grain and grass are gone, is it that there are so many iron-blooded generals in the Dynasty, and there is no determination to dare to fight with the Huns? ”

On the wide snow-white court outside the front hall, the Han civil and military officials fell to the ground, their faces were red from the emperor's words, and they prostrate themselves on the ground, and their foreheads were buckled to the ground. ”

"Okay." Liu Ying's spirits perked, "This is what a Han courtier should look like." ”

The emperor's voice rose in the front hall, "Spread my will, I want to drive the imperial expedition in person, and personally urge the soldiers to fight." Ordered Zhou Bo, the prime minister of the left, to be the general, and led the army to rush to Daidi to meet the Xiongnu. The officials of Bashu and Hanzhong rushed to Taiyuan, and ordered Yanmen and Guanzhong to quickly support. The whole group meets the enemy together, and must expel the Huns from the country! "The voice is far-reaching.

The blue sky of Chang'an City is high, the spring breeze of Weiyang Palace is bright, and a black swallow flies down from the willow branch, picks up the water of Cangchi, and flies away quickly. Empress Zhang was dressed in a dark blue Zhai coat and stepped on a green finch clog. Hurriedly passing through the long alley between the two palaces, the veil of the eaves of the front hall was lightly raised, half covering and half reflecting her silhouette.

"Your Majesty,"

Zhang Yan stepped into the Xuanshu Hall and asked anxiously, "Have you already decided to go to Daidi?" ”

Liu Ying raised her head and looked at her wife standing at the temple gate. Her face was still flushed with the rapid walking, slightly**. The beauty is amazing, but also the agility is amazing. The years have really been kind to Zhang Yan, and the coquettishness of girlhood has gradually receded in her, but it has added wisps of pure charm, just like the pure beauty of the year.

"Ah Yan," Liu Ying looked at his wife, the charm of the children's affection was cherished by him, but the deep hatred of his family and country had always been in his heart, and he was nostalgic for his wife and child. But there are always things in life that you have to bear.

"I have to go." His voice is gentle and firm,

"It's my duty. I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is my duty to protect my people from foreign intrusions. A hint of resoluteness flashed in the phoenix's eyes, "In order for me to pass away one day, I can't let the Xiongnu hand over such a letter of state again, humiliate you, humiliate Tongzi, I must also win this war." ”

Zhang Yan reluctantly smiled, "I know." I know your duties, Your Majesty; I also know that for this time I fought with the Huns with real swords and guns. Dahan has been preparing for many years; Now the situation has come to this. The big war was like an arrow on the bow, and it had to be launched. Raising his head, the big apricot pit eyes looked at Liu Ying, "I am your wife, I will support you in any decision you make, but I," the water light froze in the apricot pit eyes and fell violently.

"But I'm worried, I'm worried......"

In general, the older people are, the more they tend to be stable and afraid of parting. When he was a teenager, she hoped that he would go out to fight the wind and rain and make contributions; Now, he is her husband, and there is Kiriko between them. Okay, but she just wants him to be safe and sound. Don't go through any more storms.

Zhang Yan's tears fell, she suddenly felt that her body was warm, she was held in her husband's arms, she raised her head in a daze, the temperature of her thumb lingered on her cheeks, Liu Ying wiped away her tears with pity, and sighed comfortingly in her ear, "Silly child, don't cry." For your sake, I will cherish myself and return safely. ”

……

The people of Guanzhong have a strong blood in their bones, but the war between Chu and Han for many years has made people temporarily tired, and now, 20 years of recuperation and recuperation have accumulated the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns who often plundered and suppressed the Han border have long been extremely dissatisfied, and the death of Liu Heng, the acting king, is to make the Han people excited.

Yimao, the general Zhou Bo led the army to Daidi.

Xin Si, Emperor Liu Ying led a large army from Chang'an.

In the Xuanshu Palace, Lang Wei in military uniform stood under His Royal Highness, and the Yellow Gate was waiting for the emperor. Liu Ying stood on the hall, Zhang Yan stood aside, and personally put on the battle armor for Liu Ying.

The thirty-three-year-old emperor was in excellent health care and was quite handsome in his military uniform. When the last piece of scale armor was fastened, it was suddenly heroic. Zhang Yan took a step back and looked up at Liu Ying, Liu Ying, who was dressed in military uniform, had lost her usual gentle temperament, showing a hint of iron-blooded killing. The shiny light on the Emperor's armor refracted away, stinging her eyes. Her mood is quite delicate, most of the time, Liu Ying's role in her life is that of a gentle elder and a pampering lover, but occasionally she will have the urge to bow at his feet.

Liu Ying called, "Empress." The voice was solemn.

Zhang Yan replied with the respectful attitude of a queen, "The concubine is here." ”

"After I set out on the expedition, all matters in Chang'an will be left to you to decide. You have to guard Chang'an and assist the crown prince. ”

"No!"

It was noon, the army was about to depart, and Liu Ying turned to leave.

Zhang Yan followed her husband's footsteps and couldn't help but take a small step forward.

As if feeling something, Liu Ying suddenly turned around, met Zhang Yan's gaze, suddenly took a big stride, hurried back to Zhang Yan in two or three steps, grabbed Zhang Yan, imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and gently told her in her ear,

"Wu Yan, wait for me to return."

My Ah Yan, waiting for me to come back from the battlefield and return to you!

Zhang Yanxing's eyes were still full of water, and she was already smiling slightly, and when she raised her head again, Liu Ying's figure had disappeared from her sight.

Tu Yu waited on the side, and said cautiously, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has gone away!" ”

"I know." Zhang Yan lowered her eyes.

Her husband had left her side and was not afraid to fight the Xiongnu for the sake of his ideals and beliefs. She must also guard the rear for him, and will not let him worry about herself on the front line.

When she raised her head again, Zhang Yan was already firm, "Go back!" ”

"Your Majesty has his mission. Today's Weiyang Palace is our battlefield. ”

The catkins of Chang'an float all over the streets and alleys, and the red clusters of Weiyang Palace are deep. The emperor drove out on the expedition, the crown prince Liu Yi was still young, and the empress Zhang Yan was in charge of state affairs on behalf of the crown prince. Enter the front hall from the harem. Because the Xuanshu Hall is the place where Liu Ying summons his courtiers and deals with state affairs on weekdays, in order to show that he does not dare to compare with Liu Ying, he chose the side hall of the Xuanshu Pavilion as the place to summon the ministers.

Huangmen Wang Xi came to the pavilion gate and said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, Marquis Wuxin has arrived!" ”

There was a soft sound of footsteps in the pavilion, and after a while, a female official came to the door of the pavilion. "Marquis Wu Xin, Her Royal Highness the Empress invites you in."

Wuxin Marquis Lu Lu recognized it as Sibin Du Xinyi beside Empress Zhang, and gave up his hand slightly, "Thank you, aunt." ”

The light in the pavilion is bright, Queen Zhang is dressed in a dark blue Zhai clothes, a thick green silk, coiled up four buns, wearing a deputy flute Liujia, less of the casual and gorgeous when the harem Yanju was lived, and more solemn and formal. Lu Lu followed Xin Yi into the hall. Bow down to Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the upper seat of the pavilion.

"See Her Royal Highness the Queen, Your Highness is happy for a long time!"

With the death of Empress Dowager Lu, the era of the Lu family has ended, and today's Weiyang Palace is the world of Empress Zhang. Wuxin Hou Lu Lu clearly knew. Place your head down unusually deep.

On the seat in the pavilion, Zhang Yan put down the chapter in her hand, raised her head, and said with a smile. "Marquis Wu Xin, please get up."

"The palace had an agreement with Marquis Wuxin that if Mrs. Hou could have another heir, she would be sent to the crown prince and accompany the crown prince to grow up. Originally, the children were still young, and Hongu thought about waiting for another year or two to wait until they were all five years old before mentioning this matter. But in the end, people are not as good as heaven. Now the Huns have committed a large-scale attack on the Han Dynasty, His Majesty has personally driven the expedition, and the palace has been ordered to stay in Weiyang Palace. It is inevitable that some people can't care about His Royal Highness the Prince, so they think. It's better for you to send the child into the palace now, so that you can play with His Royal Highness the Prince. What does Wu Xin Marquis think? ”

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Lu Lu's eyes.

The emperor now has only two sons, the crown prince Liu Yi is the concubine of the middle palace, and his mother Empress Zhang and Liu Ying are husband and wife, and the position is stable, if you can accompany the crown prince, you will naturally become the next emperor's confidant. Speaking of which, His Majesty and Empress Zhang are also familiar with each other in the palace of Empress Dowager Lu in Changle Palace, and then they have concluded a marriage, and the husband and wife are kind.

If their children can get this opportunity, why worry that the Lu family will not be able to prosper in the future?

Lu Lu raised his head and asked, "Her Royal Highness the Empress is grateful, and the minister is grateful, this matter is ......

Does Your Majesty know? ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "When Your Majesty leaves, you will entrust all the affairs of Chang'an to the palace." My Majesty and I are one husband and wife, and I have nothing to say, so I can naturally call the shots! She stood up from the couch, a pair of bright apricot eyes flickered, and inadvertently flashed infinite style,

"Mrs. Zhou gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses three years ago, both of whom are half a year older than the crown prince. The agreement did not specify the gender of the heir, and now, the palace can also let Wu Xinhou choose for himself: whether to send a boy to the palace or a girl? ”

"This ......" Lu Lu suddenly hesitated.

He almost wanted to ask if he could bring in a pair of children. But after all, he knew that if he was too greedy, it might backfire, so he stopped talking, thought about it, and arched his hand, "Can Her Royal Highness allow the minister to go back and think about it?" ”

"Naturally," Zhang Yanyan ran, "this is not a trivial matter after all, Wu Xinhou can go back and discuss with Mrs. Zhou, as long as the child is sent over in half a month!" ”

The gate of Wuxinhou's mansion was deep, Mrs. Zhou was dressed in brown dark clothes, sitting in front of the hall, with an elegant appearance, and a pair of pink carved twins ran out of the inner room with a smile and shouted,

"My sister can't catch up."

"My brother is waiting for me, so I'll catch up."

Mrs. Zhou looked at a pair of clever young sons and daughters with a smile, with such a pair of children, she can be regarded as satisfied with her life.

Lu Lu returned from outside the gate of the mansion, Lu Xingzhi and Lu Li's brother and sister looked up and saw their father enter the gate of the inner courtyard, hurriedly restrained their hands and feet, stood in the room in a proper manner, and shouted obediently, "Ah Weng." ”

"Hmm." Lu Lu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Have you done your homework today?" ”

"It's done. Mr. Zhao has already seen it! ”

"Okay, let's go play in the yard!"

"Husband!" Mrs. Zhou greeted her, waited for Lu Lu to freshen up, and waited until a pair of young sons and daughters came out of the inner room, Fang smiled and said, "Xingzhi and Lizhi are still young, and the husband should not look too close!" ”

Lu Lu changed into a Yanju dress under the service of his wife, and sat down on the couch in the inner hall, "It's not small, if you're lucky, the future of our Lu family may fall on them!" ”

Mrs. Zhou was surprised, "Husband, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Lu condensed and asked solemnly, "Amin, if there is only one one between Xingzhi and Lizhi who can become a great weapon, which one would you hope for?" ”
