At that time, Emperor Taichang was the first to rush into the capital under the banner of King Qin, and occupied the palace, this wave of operation Emperor Anping was very familiar, but it did not mean that he wanted other vassal kings to follow suit, it was because he resolutely refused to agree to let the vassal king lead troops into Beijing.

Letting the vassal king enter Beijing is equivalent to luring the wolf into the room, and Bacheng Lu Wei was not driven away, he was driven away first.

Since Emperor Anping refused to ask the vassal king for help, there were only two ways left.

One is to use 200,000 Praetorian Guards to fight to the death with Lu Wei's 500,000 army, Jin Yongxiu don't count on it, if he returns to Beijing to rescue, King Jiangxia will definitely chase behind, wave his army to the north, and kill the capital directly, and then several waves of people and horses will meet in the capital.

The second is to do what Lu Wei said, and the imperial court sent the Duanshu County Lord and Mrs. Lu Shao to him, and Emperor Anping admitted it. As long as Lu Wei is still a courtier of Great Xia, he will not rebel easily, after all, no one wants to be burdened with the black history of chaotic ministers and thieves for generations.

The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the first road is impassable, the worst result, and it can't even be called a dead fish, and the fish of Emperor Anping is dead, and Lu Wei's net may not be broken, it is nothing more than a bad reputation.

And the second way, Emperor Anping didn't want to go, he also wanted hostages to dominate Lu Wei.

"Fence off the Lu Mansion first!" Emperor Anping does not lose if he loses, "Don't let go of a person!" ”

The news that Lu Wei led the army to press the capital spread far and wide, and looking at the territory of Great Xia, he couldn't find a place to live and work in peace and contentment! Either a military disaster, or a heavy tax and forced labor, or both.

The dissatisfaction and anger of the desperate people against Emperor Taichang and Emperor Anping's father and son are increasing day by day, and the nursery rhyme of "Emperor Taichang is not Taichang, and Emperor Anping is not peaceful" is quietly spread on the streets and alleys.

And Lu Wei's reputation has also taken a sharp turn, from a national hero in many people's mouths to a scheming rebellious minister and thief. But Lu Wei's exploits are really dazzling, and not only does he not have bad deeds on weekdays, but he has a good official reputation in the eyes of the people, and his loyal fans said that it is clear that Emperor Taichang is not kind first, and the people of the land system shed blood and sweat for the Great Xia at the border, and the head was pinned to the waistband of the pants to kill the Hu people, and the Taichang Emperor detained the biological parents of the Lu system in the capital, and he also took Mrs. Lu in the name of the holy decree when he led troops to fight the Hu people and defend the country.

How can it not chill the hearts of loyal ministers?

It is also human nature for him to ask the court for his own mother and daughter-in-law.

As for Lu Dewen, he was subconsciously ignored by everyone.

Yes? It turns out that Lu Tong's own father is still alive? The lord of Duanshu lives in the nunnery, isn't it for the deceased husband?

Many students are engaged in joint letters, asking the imperial court to release Lu Wei's mother and wife back to Liangzhou, so as not to let the heroes shed blood and tears.

This matter was noisy, the court could not get the results for a long time, the ministers and the people were panicked, with the speed of Lu Wei's army traveling hundreds of miles a day, and a few more days of ink, they could enjoy the demeanor of Lu Commandery at close range in the capital.

Outside is boiling again, and the courtyard is still calm.

Until one day, after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law played a game, Duan Shu suddenly said: "I will continue to stay in the capital, you can go back to Liangzhou." ”

Zhang Yuqing was taken aback, "Mother ......"

Duan Shu snapped and landed on the chessboard, with a sense of nonchalance, as if what he said was just what to eat tonight as casually and simply, "It's not a way to be so stiff, Lu Wei is still a courtier of Great Xia." ”

"Great Xia is already in turmoil." Zhang Yuqing said.

Duan Shu shook his head and sneered with a smile, "Emperor Taichang and Emperor Anping, father and son, are stupid and can't govern the country, and they have brought our Fang family's country to this point...... As long as someone can stabilize the situation, the ship of Great Xia can continue to ride the wind and waves. ”

Zhang Yuqing didn't continue this question, but said: "The emperor is just still weighing, and in two days, Lu Wei will lead the troops to approach the capital, and he can only compromise and let us go." ”

"Silly boy! I walk easily. Duan Shu touched Zhang Yuqing's head, "But I stay, it means more." The emperor's vigilance and precautions against Lu Wei will not be so high, and I am in the capital, so I can pass on any news to you in time. ”

Zhang Yuqing felt uncomfortable, "But ......"

"This is the best solution!" Duan Shu said in an aggravated tone, "I am Lu Wei's mother, and they prefer to let me stay in the capital as a hostage." As long as Lu Wei is well, I will be fine in the capital! ”

One is the mother who gave birth to him, and the other is the country girl who was forced to Lu Wei by the first emperor, and she has not yet given birth, so it is self-evident who is more important in Lu Wei's heart. As long as Lu Wei is still in charge of Liangzhou with heavy troops, the Manchu dynasty will not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Duan Shu.

"You go back, give birth to the baby, and raise it well. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will quietly bring the child over to recognize my grandmother. Duan Shu reached out and touched Zhang Yuqing's cheek and said with a smile.

The sun shines on Duanshu's face through the window lattice, her eyes are gentle and loving, the golden steps on the sideburns are shining, and her face is gorgeous, just like the noble lady who came out of the picture of a lady, and she is amiable to watch.

At that moment, Zhang Yuqing's eyes suddenly turned red, she couldn't remember what An Ruxue looked like, Duan Shu made her feel the warmth of her mother for a long time.

Just when the atmosphere in the capital was in turmoil, the county lord Duanshu took the initiative to stand up, saying that she was old, she was a native of the capital, and she still wanted to stay in the capital, and she didn't want to go to the northwest, so let her daughter-in-law go back to take care of Lu Wei.

Lu Wei's mother said so, even Lu Wei couldn't find fault with it.

In this way, the situation returned to the past, the court had Lu Wei's biological parents as hostages, and Lu Wei continued to serve the court and guard Liangzhou.

For a while, everyone began to praise the lord of Duanshu for his deep understanding of righteousness and dedication to the country, which is worthy of golden branches and jade leaves.

There are also many voices secretly writing critical articles, scolding Emperor Taichang for being a demon, originally Lu Wei's parents were in the capital, under the supervision of the royal family, Emperor Taichang had to even pull the wife who had not yet given birth to the capital as a hostage.

Make such a big fuss, work hard and lose money, and shame people!

Zhang Yuqing was still sick in the eyes of everyone at this time, but she was going to leave for Liangzhou immediately.

The Queen Mother said that she was sympathetic to the sisterhood of the queen and Mrs. Lu Shao, and authorized the queen to visit her sister in Lu Mansion, and went back to her parents' house by the way.

There is almost no possibility for a woman to leave the palace after marrying into the palace, unless she follows her son to the fiefdom in the future, it depends on whether the emperor allows it, and it is a great honor to be able to go out of the palace and save her relatives.

Zhang Yuying's pomp and circumstance out of the palace was very large, with hundreds of palace maids, as well as the Praetorian Guards, and the procession winded a few streets before and after.

The queen's mother's intention to come was almost the same as Zhang Yuying's feet, Zhang Yuqing was writing a secret letter to his subordinates in Liangzhou at that time, and hurriedly stuffed the written letter into the drawer, and accidentally got ink on his hands.

Duan Shu went to greet Zhang Yuying, saying that the house was too small, and if the queen wanted to see her cousin, she would go in by herself, and she didn't have to bring any people to serve.

Zhang Yuying has been in the palatial palace for a long time, and at this moment, when she looks at Fan Siyuan, she feels that it is just an ordinary place, and she secretly says that Zhang Yuqing is not doing well.

The maid lifted the bamboo curtain, and Zhang Yuying entered the house.

Zhang Yuqing was wearing a wide old burqa, her crow-green hair was simply curled up with a green bamboo hairpin, and her unpowdered face had a kind of moist beauty.

She sat at the table by the window, her hand on her chin, the edge of the table cleverly covering her bulging belly.

The peach blossom petals drifted into the window with the wind and fell into the inkstone in Zhang Yuqing's hand.

Zhang Yuying sneered, "Sister Yuqing, I heard that you are sick, are you better?" ”

"TOEFL, it's almost good, don't delay the journey." Zhang Yuqing looked at the scenery outside the window and said.

Zhang Yuying looked around the room, her eyes showed disdain, Zhang Yuqing's position as the second-class control lady was not as good as she imagined!

Lu Wei really wants to like her, can she live such a shabby life?

Returning to Zhang Yuqing, Zhang Yuying's sharp eyes saw that there were ink marks on Zhang Yuqing's hands, plus there was an inkstone on the table and two books, Zhang Yuying couldn't help laughing.

"You don't have to learn from me everywhere." Zhang Yuying pouted and smiled.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't understand for a while, smiled slightly, and looked guarded.

"Do you think that if you write well, you can read and compose poems, and you are a little similar to me, Lu Wei likes you?" Zhang Yuying approached Zhang Yuqing and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yuqing's hanging heart was put back in her stomach, trying her best to maintain a polite smile.

"It's not too late for you to learn...... You're good too! Zhang Yuying said with emotion, "Speaking of which, thanks to this palace, you have today's luck, otherwise you can marry Lu Wei as a country girl?" Can you be the wife of a second-class master? ”

Shouldn't you marry a farmer who faces the loess with his back to the sky, follows the farmer to the field during the day, and washes clothes at night to serve his in-laws and children?

She is really Zhang Yuqing's great benefactor!

"Now that she has such a good mother-in-law as Duan Shu, I'd rather stay in the capital than let you go back!" Zhang Yuying pulled her great kindness to Zhang Yuqing one by one, and she was moved.

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath and nodded, "Indeed, my mother is very good to me. ”

"But it's useless for Duan Shu to be good to you! A woman depends on her husband after all! According to the palace, Mrs. Lu Shao's temper will be a little more restrained in the future, and she will spend more effort to please Lu Wei, which is better than anything else! Strive to give birth to a son as soon as possible, lest the family business laid by Lu Wei fall into the hands of the concubine in the future, and you will have no place to cry at that time! Zhang Yuying's smile trembled.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't bear it, "I don't need to please Lu Wei, he loves me and respects me, it's too late to please me!" ”

Zhang Yuying was choked, and couldn't believe that Zhang Yuqing could be so shameless that she could say such things.

"What, you're envious?" Zhang Yuqing asked rhetorically.

"I'm envious? I, I, what is there to envy in this palace! Zhang Yuying stammered.

Zhang Yuqing looked up at Zhang Yuying, smiling slyly, "Queen Mother, if you don't envy it, what is your heart?" Look, there's no more to say! ”

"Bold!" Zhang Yuying was anxious and angry, "Talking nonsense, the following is a crime!" My dignified queen needs to envy you a country girl? You're still always pretending to be big! ”

Zhang Yuqing sighed: "Why don't you believe it? I am Lu Wei's wife, if he doesn't love me, who else can he love? Love you? ”

Zhang Yuying's face changed in an instant, and she couldn't wait to step forward and cover Zhang Yuqing's mouth, "What nonsense!" If you don't want to die, I'll die! ”

"Oh, the queen of the world is so daring? It can be seen that it is not less repaired by the emperor on weekdays! Zhang Yuqing smiled very ill-willedly.

"Shut up!" Zhang Yuying said with an ugly face.

Emperor Anping has a tyrannical temperament and likes to kill, and even the harem concubines were tragically murdered by him is not considered a secret, and many people know it.

As the queen, although she is blessed with the name of the daughter of the phoenix, she also lives trembling all day long, for fear of offending Emperor Anping.

"Sister Yuying, if Kude hadn't identified you as the daughter of Fengming back then, you and Lu Wei would have become husband and wife, how could I have anything to do!" Zhang Yuqing said.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yuying reprimanded on her lips, and she couldn't help but feel melancholy in her heart.

Zhang Yuqing leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "You know Lu Wei, a gentleman is very gentle, he is very gentle with me as a country girl, you have been with him for so many years, if you want to become a husband and wife with him, wouldn't he be better for you?" ”

Zhang Yuying's heart pounded.

Lu Wei must be better for her! There is no doubt about it! Zhang Yuqing, a vulgar country girl, what do you compare to her? If there is no such thing as the daughter of the phoenix, she and Lu Wei are married, and she is now also the second-grade control lady, although it is not as beautiful as the queen, it is affordable!

I didn't see the emperor and the queen mother all afraid of Lu Wei like this!

Besides, Lu Wei is polite and polite to women, how can he be like the pervert of Emperor Anping!

To say that Zhang Yuying has no regrets in her heart, it is impossible. She fantasized more than once that if she married Lu Wei, with Lu Wei's love for her, what a happy life she should live!

Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhang Yuying's changing expression, and asked again, "Do you regret it?" ”

Zhang Yuying, who was told the central matter, was shocked and denied it, "Nonsense! I have nothing to regret! ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, raised her chin and looked at the panicked Zhang Yuying, as if teasing a stupid starling, "Sister Yuying, if you regret it, I'll give you a chance to do it again, do you want it?" ”

"What a chance to do it all over again?" Zhang Yuying asked nervously.

Zhang Yuqing pointed his finger outside, "As soon as the carriage that will pick me up arrives, you pretend to be hijacked by me and get into the carriage with me, the Praetorian Guards are afraid of hurting you, so they will not move, and the person sent by Lu Wei to pick me up is outside the capital." I am completely sure that I can send you to Lu Wei unscathed. ”

"As long as you get to Lu Wei's side, you will be safe, the emperor doesn't want Lu Wei to enter the capital and directly knock him off the dragon chair, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it." Zhang Yuqing smiled and said, "Follow him, no one will beat you and scold you." You know, Lu Wei is a good person, a person who misses the old, he will be as good to you as before. ”

Zhang Yuying clenched her fingers and widened her eyes.

Zhang Yuqing's voice was full of bewilderment, "How is it?" Do you want to meet your love brother? ”

Sweetheart Theatre:

Night Rain: I think your way of being jealous is a bit special, others are going crazy when they are jealous, and you are going to die if you are jealous. Lu Wei will be played to death by you sooner or later.

Zhang Yuqing: Where am I jealous, which eye of yours saw me jealous? I tell you that you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I eat Lu Wei's vinegar and die of laughter!

Night Rain: If you don't admit it, forget it, I'm too lazy to fight with you. Having said that, aren't you afraid that Zhang Yuying will agree? When the time comes, will you really take her to Lu Wei?

Zhang Yuqing (patting the table): Impossible! When pigs fly!

Night Rain: You still don't admit that you love Lu Wei, look at the appearance of this sea of vinegar!

Zhang Yuqing: When I say impossible, I mean that Zhang Yuying can't go with me, I know her person, how can I be willing to take the throne of the queen! Even if you are beaten the hardest, you must wear the heaviest crown.

Night Rain: She's already miserable, you don't need to bully people like this!

Zhang Yuqing: Are you pulling the bias frame? Why didn't you talk about her when she yelled at me to imitate her to please Lu Wei? Is there anyone like her? I'm going to vomit from the food I ate last month!
