Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Affair and New Plans Chapter 85 When the voice is harmonious, the wealth is also emotional
Su Ran's trip can be described as full of twists and turns, he has just eliminated the man in black with strong combat power, and an old woman with fairy wind and bones has arrived.
I saw that the old woman was slow, walked in front of Su Ran, and slowly knelt down, she spread the big cotton jacket she was holding in her other hand on the way forward for Su Ran, and said softly, "Young man! Over the years, the people who come and go on Lingyu Street, the old woman's hair is gray, these people are all kinds of people, some are seeking officials, some are seeking wealth, but you are the first one who can come here because of this matter. ”
Su Ran saw that the old woman had no malicious intent, so he said softly, "Old man, why are you blocking the way of this official?" ”
The old woman sighed, "Don't be too long-winded, this matter has to start with the Qin and Han wars more than forty years ago!" ”
Su Ran knelt on the old woman's quilt, blood instantly stained the quilt, Su Ran took a nap, while looking at the old woman quietly, ready to listen to him.
The old woman touched Su Ran's brain affectionately, and said to herself, "More than forty years ago, my husband responded to the king's order and went south with the governor of Dadu to rebel, and he never came back. According to our "Han Law", for the dead in the war for the country, when there is a pension, I went to the government to ask for it, and Liu Gan, the emperor's uncle who was in charge of the distribution of the pension, said 'there is no money for the time being' and told me to 'go back and wait'. ”
Speaking of this, the old woman was a little excited, "I thought at the time, the country has just been peaceful, and it is the time when everything is in ruins, and it takes money to build a house, build roads, and build bridges, so I simply didn't ask for it anymore." More than ten years later, my son joined the army and died in the rising sea in the south, and I came to the door again to ask for it, this time, the old woman didn't even see the face of Uncle Liu Huang, who was already a Taiwei Sizhi. This year, every year, every year, the emperor's uncle's officials are getting bigger and bigger, and my coffin is buried higher and higher. Young man, if you can see that imperial uncle, help me ask the old woman, when can you give me this money? Now that life is better, I don't want to make a fortune with these 500 baht money, but when the old woman goes down, she always has to give an explanation to the two of them, right? The money that the two of them exchanged for their lives can't just be gone for no reason, right? ”
After saying this, the old woman gently helped Su Ran up and gently wiped the wounds on his body for him, while Su Ran fell into silence, not knowing what to say.
The old woman's voice was neither loud nor small, but the people around her could hear it clearly.
Su Ran, who was standing there silently, couldn't help but recall the hardships and hardships suffered by the people of Liaoxi in the past six years, eating grass and gnawing trees, being bullied, and being really miserable. was forcibly robbed of the treasury money and silver by Jin Zhao, and Su Ran didn't cry yet; It was originally a pair of hands that splashed ink, but he had been making up and selling banquets in Liaoxi County for several years, and Su Ran still didn't cry.
However, the breeze at this moment seemed to be sticky with sentimentality, urging Su Ran to cry a man's tears.
Su Ran sobbed a few times, calmed his mind, straightened his waist, knelt down again, and said solemnly to the old woman, "Heyue is a lesson from the sun and stars, today at your request, ask for compensation, promise will be fulfilled, mission must be fulfilled, and no grudge will be left." ”
The old woman nodded slightly, leaned over her body, and flashed a way for Su Ran.
Su Ran swallowed his saliva, endured the pain in his leg, and continued to move forward, his voice even more high-pitched, "I am here to sue the hearts of the people of Liaoxi,......。 ”
When Su Ran knelt on the old woman's cotton jacket on the ground, his heart warmed, and when he looked up, he suddenly burst into tears, only to see that the gray brick avenue leading to the east of Weiyang Palace in front of him had been covered with cotton of various colors and materials, and some quilts and cotton clothes were still being covered by the people in an endless stream.
When Su Ran saw this situation, tears burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout, "Father Chang'an helps me the people of Liaoning, father Chang'an, help the people of Liaoning!" ”
......
Those who know the beginning of action, and those who do know it.
Su Ran and Nangong Guards worked together to prove their determination to rebel, exposed Liu Gan's hypocrisy, and won the strong support of the people of Gyeonggi.
The road ahead is in sight, the silhouette of the guards of the forbidden army of Weiyang Palace is already clearly visible, and the dawn of victory seems to be just around the corner.
Just when the people cheered for Su Ran in unison, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly plummeted.
Opposite Su Ran, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe and a well-proportioned figure stepped on the 'colorful' path paved by the people, and he slowly greeted Su Ran step by step.
The comers were not good, and the Nangong guards called for the people to disperse, and at the same time organized the Nangong guards to re-line the shield array, preparing to resist the attack of the comers.
For the middle-aged man who came in the direction, the fog around him condensed, making people unable to see the true face of Yunshan, and unable to distinguish between joy, anger and sorrow, but judging from his posture and pace, he had the intention of intercepting, but seeing the middle-aged man chuckling slightly, he said to Su Ran, "The sunset is low and cloudy, the autumn cicadas are sparse, and the sound is quiet, and there is a smell of it, isn't it that people's hearts regard the sound of insects as a front hearing?" Master Su, be a person and do things, you must not be blinded! Go back, the cause and effect here are by no means visible, and now go back, I promise to spare your life. ”
"In the past, the virtuous ministers were not only insured by the people. Hou Xu Qi Xian, so as not to float in the sky. Today's emperor's uncle Liu Gan disturbs the world, not so worried about the people, he is really a great rat in the prosperous era, a man in my generation, but those who have the slightest ambition will be proud of killing this thief! ”
Su Ran stood straight and looked at the man directly, his face was gloomy and determined.
Everyone saw his linen robe flying and the silver seal trembling, and retorted sharply, "In the past six years, the people of western Liaoning have worked hard and still have no three meals, and they still wear thin clothes in winter after hard work. It's a lot of talk to you! Quickly dodge, don't help the abuse. ”
"Then..., each for his own master, life and death?"
The middle-aged man muttered in a low voice, moved his heart, and slowly walked towards Su Ran.
In one step, the water vapor that swirled around him suddenly atomized into ice;
In two steps, the ice crystals are stacked, listed layer by layer, and attached to form armor;
In three steps, the man suddenly evolved into an ice gun with one hand in his empty fist.
In this bright spring, this scene is secretly surprising, and everyone shuddered and retreated.
"Kill!"
Nangong Guardian Cheng didn't want to sit still, he snorted lowly, made himself a vanguard, and killed the martial artist in front of him who was at least above the broken realm with a cone-shaped formation.
The halberd is against the ice gun, and the heavenly soldiers are not fighting.
......
Weiyang Palace, the front hall!
The 'boring' agenda is finally over.
The side dishes are finished, and the main course is finally about to be put on the table.
After Si Nong Shaoqing finished talking about Bozhou farming, the spirits of the hundred officials were lifted, and those who were drowsy earlier also began to look left and right, waiting for the fighting method between the Son of Heaven and the emperor's uncle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to play?"
Liu Yan sat firmly on the high platform, his expression was solemn, he looked left and right, and saw that the incense had been exhausted, and no one answered, so he nodded slightly to the little attendant who bowed on the right side.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and all the officials under the rank did not stop for much, and they left the table and said in unison, 'Your Majesty ten thousand years', and then turned around and walked out, and the moment the last official walked out, Liu Yan and the eyes of the hundred officials invariably revealed a trace of disappointment.
Suddenly, the official who was the first to walk out of the hall began to salute the steps, and with a voice of 'Queen Mother Qian'an', an old woman with a curly deep coat, a phoenix jue and green feathers, white beads and gold tweezers, and a pale face, slowly climbed the steps, and hundreds of officials bowed down one after another.
This woman is Liu Yan's biological mother, Guo Ke, the empress dowager of the dynasty. Seeing this, Liu Yan and Liu Gan suddenly showed a gleam in their eyes.
The attendant who had just been summoned by Liu Qian and sneaked away also went and returned.
It turned out that just now, Liu Gan not only sent his henchmen to deliver the news outside the city, but also invited the queen mother to support him.
Empress Dowager Guo Ke, born in 275 A.D., the word "Yu", the word "Phoenix is flying, and the word is feather". Guo Ke is the eldest daughter of the Guo family of Guanghan County, Mingzhou, the beauty of life is like a flower, in 294 AD, the Shenwu Emperor Liu Chen, who is over forty years old and still has his descendants withered, entered the palace, and the book is Shun Chang. Guo Ke's stomach is also considered to be angry, when he entered the palace, he gave birth to a son for Emperor Shenwu, it was for Liu Yan, on the day of his birth, the star of Taichang Temple watched Liu Yan's life, and said that it was 'treacherous but not dirty, wise but not lazy, God Fu Fu also', Liu Chen was overjoyed, and Guo was Zhaoyi, only one rank lower than the queen.
The following year, the northern Great Qin invaded the border, the war on the frontier, Liu Chen decided to personally conquer the Great Qin, before leaving Gyeonggi, Liu Chen did three major things, the first is to abolish the queen, set up Guo as the queen, he wants to give Liu Yan's mother and daughter a proper name, to avoid repeating the rebellion of the kings caused by his ascension to the throne in the future. Therefore, the Guo family has only been in the palace for two years, and he has become the master of this harem, which is really more precious than mother and son.
Guo Keyinrong can be regarded as a middle-class talent, but it has not yet reached the point of captivating the city and the country, but he is born with great wisdom, delicate mind, gratitude and gratitude, daily and strict with others, and takes into account the bold, loyal and courageous character of the people of Bashu and Shu, so he is deeply favored by Liu Chen. Although the battle in the harem was fierce, it was always able to move steadily and far, and finally survived until his son Liu Yan ascended to the throne.
Guo Ke never asked about the temple, whether Liu Yan wanted to abolish the family or cleanse the officialdom, Guo Ke has always silently supported and strictly restrained the clan, so no one in the Guo family was an official in the court, which not only saved Liu Yan from the hidden danger of his relatives interfering in politics, but also won a good reputation for the Guo family led by Guo Ke.
Although Guo Ke does not interfere in government politics, as long as Liu Gan has a request, Guo Ke will always respond.
Just because, in the last days of Emperor Shenwu Liu Chen, Guo Ke was old and decrepit and gradually fell out of favor, coupled with some people with ulterior motives to instigate him, the old and faint Emperor Shenwu intended to be the second prince. At that time, the situation was very critical, if it weren't for his brother-in-law Liu Gan, who was the official to the Taiwei Sizhi at that time, and Lu Zheng persuaded the other three important ministers to be the court, and several people jointly said all the good things in front of Liu Chen's couch, there would have been no Guo clan and the twenty-seventh generation of the world to jointly write a letter to ask for their lives, and there would have been no chaos in the future to quickly clear up the princes competing for the throne, let alone his high-ranking son!
If someone has a grudge against me, he can forget it with a full meal, and if he is kind to me, he must never forget it.
Based on this, Guo Ke is grateful to Liu Gan, in the subconscious of the queen mother of the dynasty, as long as he Liu Gan did not commit treason, then he would be greedy, and people should help our mother and son survive in the Jedi, take charge of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and enjoy some brocade and glory.
After the completion of the 100 official salutes, bow down and hang their sleeves, gather together, gather together, and the officials scatter and stand on both sides of the corridor.
They have their own thoughts, and they neither go nor say they will stay.
Seeing this scene, Guo Ke waved his sleeves and said softly, "You Aiqing have worked hard, go back to rest early, and I will talk to Yin Hao (Liu Yanzi) about family life." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials retreated, the emperor didn't care about family affairs, and he didn't know that he was in trouble.
After the hundreds of officials saluted, they finally walked away, and there was no one left.
The spacious front hall suddenly became spacious.
"Mother's back! Oh, look at my son, he hasn't asked his mother for nearly half a month, it's a sin! Liu Yan took off his crown, got up quickly, ignored Liu Gan, walked quickly to Guo Ke's side, helped his left arm, and slowly walked towards the middle step.
As Liu Yan walked, he showed a sincere smile to Liu Gan, but it was really a seemingly harmless smile from humans and animals, but Liu Gan's heart was numb when he saw it, and he faintly felt: This time, he seems to be in the way of his precious nephew.
"You child, born with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, can always rely on this clever mouth to open roads in mountains and build bridges in water, and it is not just a master who taught you, so that I know that I will reward him well."
When Liu Yan heard this, he laughed loudly and said playfully, "Then the queen mother should treat herself well!" ”
......
Guo Ke's fair and flawless skin revealed a faint red powder, after hearing this, she pursed her lips and chuckled, revealing the girl's shyness, looking at Liu Yan softly, spoiling beyond words, for his precious son, from childhood to adulthood, she has never beaten or punished, and when she grows up, she is even more resigned to Liu Yan, marrying a wife, setting national policies, serving officials, fighting the world, all silently supporting, in the eyes and ears of the queen mother, his son is perfect, she will never allow anyone, anything to have a trace of disadvantage to her baby son.
More than ten years ago, the Gyeonggi Rebellion, Guo Ke happened to go to the attached capital Luoyang to worship the Buddha, the imperial uncle Liu Gan was not in Beijing, when Guo Ke returned to Chang'an, he heard that this matter was furious, and immediately gathered the clansmen, and Lu Zheng and Liu Gan donated huge sums of money to help Liu Yan quickly build the twelve internal guards of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Yan's move to cut off the family is even more supportive.
In addition, Guo Ke is still a person who holds grudges, the queen Li Fengjiao used the 'Heavenly Demon Case' to roll up the Gyeonggi disrupt, for more than ten years, Guo Ke has always been obsessed, so the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother lives and the Changqiu Palace where the queen lives have not been in the past for more than ten years, Li Fengjiao and Guo Ke have not been seen for ten years.
Some time ago, Feng Qizi of the harem was demoted to five levels in a row because he casually muttered in his own courtyard, 'Your Majesty is lazy in blood, spleen deficiency and kidney exhaustion, and you need to eat more mutton and leek porridge when you enter the body', so she was demoted to five levels in a row to normal, ten canes a day, beaten for 30 days, and within three months, she was only allowed to eat mutton and leek porridge.
It can be seen how much she spoils her baby son.
......
To get back to the point, Guo Ke watched Liu Yan lose weight and lose weight in recent days, and she wanted to persuade Liu Yan to rest more, but she understood that Liu Yan's ambition and hegemony in his heart were destined to be a king who was busy to death.
Thinking of this, Guo Ke chuckled slightly, pretending not to understand, "What do you want to do for yourself?" ”
"Haha, the son follows the mother, the daughter follows the father, naturally the mother is born beautiful, and only then does your son have this clever mouth!"
Liu Yan supported Guo Ke, and found a place to sit for him at will, to Guo Ke, Liu Yan is also very filial, since he ascended the throne, no matter how big or small, he must be informed in advance, some of Guo Ke's instructions, no matter how unhappy Liu Yan is, should be done, Liu Gan has been corrupt military resources several times, conniving at his subordinates, but as long as Guo Ke comes forward, Liu Yan has been turned into a small matter, otherwise, according to Liu Yan's jealousy and hatred of the character of the ministers, Liu Gan's little affection for escorting and turning the tide has long been used up.
After Liu Yan and Guo Ke sat down, Liu Qian straightened his clothes and stepped forward to salute, "Minister Liu Gan, see the Queen Mother." ”
The emperor favors the virtuous king, it is better to take care of human feelings, Liu Gan believes that with Guo Ke here, the Su Jun guard outside the palace will not break the sky, at most he will be scolded by Liu Yan.
However, once this matter is over, Liu Qian plans to strictly restrain his relatives and enjoy his old age in peace. First, he has been prosperous all these years, and he has been greedy enough, and although half of the money and silver offered by his subordinates who are serving outside the country have been scattered to the past, they are still a lot of money, enough to squander them wantonly; Second, although the human affection is strong, the mother-son relationship is deeper, and the little love from the dragon will be spent sooner or later, so it is better to get together and disperse; Third, in recent years, the temple has gradually been cleared, Liu Gan judged that in another ten years, the power of the world will inevitably return to the Han family, such as a gray person like himself, it is impossible to stand in the temple for a long time, and he is too old to do it, it is better to take advantage of this little affection, work for a few more years, and then withdraw from the court with dignity.
Thinking about it, Liu Gan had mixed feelings in his heart, a kind of joy for the rebirth of the empire and a feeling of sadness for himself, and at the same time surged in his heart, I don't know whether it is bitter or sweet.
"Uncle, please get up, your family doesn't have to care about these etiquette."
Guo Ke sat in the seat of Lu Zheng's court, and the voice did not move, Liu Yan and Liu Qian stood side by side opposite Guo's, one giggling and the other bowing his head and saying nothing.
"Spring is coming, the day is sunny, the jade Qiong flowers, full of spring, today the sun is good, the palace wants to go out for a walk. The plan of the year lies in the spring, knowing that you are busy with official business and have no time to separate, so I came to see, you guys, don't work for business, don't you want to combine work and rest? Guo Ke was gentle, the atmosphere gradually eased, and uncles and nephews, mothers and sons, and wives and brothers began to carefully and skillfully find topics and chat.
"Yan'er, my mother plans to plant a dove tree in the harem, you also know that the dove tree is a special tree in your mother's hometown, hey, this is old, the people in your hometown, the scenery of your hometown, often appear in front of you, people are not as good as the old, and the face is not as good as the beginning, this sentence seems to have some truth."
Guo Ke consciously or unconsciously began to introduce the main topic.
"Mingzhou has fertile rivers and fields, there are mountains, forests, bamboos, trees, vegetables and fruits, and can also give birth to the famous tree of the dove tree, which is really a treasure of heaven. Haha, the affairs of the harem are all up to the mother, so I don't have to intervene much, just the temple. ”
Liu Yanchun was kind, neither refuting nor agreeing, but the second meaning of these words, Guo Ke and Liu Gan really listened to it.
Liu Yan's implication is: I don't care about the affairs of the harem, and my mother should not ask more about this court matter.
"My son is reasonable, and the next day, my mother sent someone to bring one back. Hey, no matter how the world changes, relatives are relatives after all, that blood connection, the older you get, the stronger the stronger, yesterday Uncle sent someone to say, knowing that His Majesty has built canals and roads in recent years to fill the military funds, the treasury must not be much left, seeing the palace of the Son of Heaven, the red wall is mottled, the mud flakes are falling off, and the brick and tile industry has lost its color. ”
Guo Ke got up and straightened Liu Yan's clothes, turned back to Liu Gan and said, "It's a waste of money for Uncle Xiao!" ”
"Queen Mother, the family doesn't talk about two families, you say this, but it's a little outside!"
Liu Qian smiled, but his heart ached, renovating the palace this time, I am afraid that the coffins that he has accumulated for many years will have to be turned out and used, it seems that the queen mother is a little dissatisfied with her presumptuous request for help this time, and wants to punish her slightly.
"What do you say, Yan'er?" Guo Ke turned around and looked at Liu Yan with Liu Gan.
"Good!" Liu Yan was embarrassed, pretended to ask again and again, and finally agreed.
Responding to this matter is equivalent to rejecting the person who is at the moment of life and death outside Dongque!
Liu Gan's heartstrings trembled, and he was relieved, this time he broke his fortune and avoided disasters, and he escaped another catastrophe.
"Mother, today's sky is clear, I see hundreds of officials surrounding Dongque, it seems that there is a lively scene to see, why don't you take a walk together?" Liu Yanming's eyes rolled and said softly to Guo Ke.
Guo Ke saw that things were going so well, so he readily agreed, "Haha, good!" Good! My mother will accompany you for a walk and join in the fun! ”
Liu Yan hugged Guo Ke and said to Liu Gan by the way, "Uncle Huang, please!" ”
Liu Qianwei Nuonuo, "......, Nuo!" ”
Since the Queen Mother interceded, Her Majesty made a promise, and she paid the price, presumably even if the scene outside the city was seen by the Queen Mother, she would not regret it, Liu Gan hesitated, and went with the two.
