Chapter 5 Princess Lu Yuan and Bo Ji
The details of Liu Ji's secret conversation with the ministers overnight, Lu Pheasant did not know, at this moment she was coaxing her daughter Lu Yuan to sleep.
It can be seen that they are both biological children, and Lu Yuan, as an older sister, is more sensible and sensitive than Liu Ying, and has also experienced more.
After all, Liu Ying was made the crown prince before he was six years old, even if his mother was in Chuying and was not by his side, he was temporarily protected by a group of loyal Pei County elders, and there was no big problem;
And Lu Yuan is a girl, she doesn't go out on weekdays, and the ministers are all men with eyebrows, and many times even if they have a heart, they can't help.
Although Liu Ji is not the emperor, he is already the king of Huanghuang Han, there are many concubines in the backyard, who is favored and who is out of favor, the height of the eyebrows and eyes, probably only the girl princess bears and digests silently alone.
Lu Pheasant knew that for Lu Yuan, he was her only supporter;
For himself, the experience in his hometown and in Chuying in the past few years is the best political capital.
In the flash of light, Lu Pheasant remembered a crucial matter, she was behind her, and she couldn't take care of much, pushed her daughter who was sleeping on the couch, and asked urgently,
"Lu Yuan, my mother asked you something, no matter what your mind is, you have to tell your mother truthfully, okay?"
Lu Yuan saw that his mother suddenly became serious, and he was no longer sleepy.
"Yes, Mother."
"Let me ask you, do you like Uncle Zhang's son Zhang Ao?
I know your father has betrothed you both on, but are you really willing to marry him? β
"I, I like Brother Zhang Ao very much.
He was born mighty, fought and always won, and everyone praised him as a young hero.
Moreover, he is very good to me, and every time he comes back from a battle, he brings me a lot of new things.
Except for Brother Zhang Ao, I don't want to marry anyone. β
Lu Yuan's big eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Pheasant firmly, and his eyes were unstoppably clear.
"Oh, that's good, that's good, that's good.
I'm just asking, it's okay, you go to bed early. β
Lu Pheasant's heart seemed to sink into the deep sea, fluttering, unable to touch the end.
"Mother, why do you ask ...... like that" Lu Yuan was puzzled.
Lu Pheasant shook his head and only forced a smile.
She was shrewd and eloquent, but she didn't know how to answerβ
Do you want her to say that in just three years, your favorite young hero will assassinate your father?
Fortunately, the girl's heart is changeable, Lu Pheasant secretly prayed that Lu Yuanke would not repeat the mistakes of Princess Taiping in the previous life, and was dragged down for half his life by a ridiculous love.
***
Seeing his daughter sleeping, Lu Pheasant walked to the outer courtyard and looked up at the bright stars in the sky, the night sky seen in Guangwu City in the fourth year of Gaozu was no different from that above the Shendu of Luoyang nine hundred years later.
This month used to shine according to the ancients, but the people who stood under the moon have changed batch after batch.
Liu Ji paced out of the inner room, stretched his waist, and found that Lu Pheasant was also there, so he smiled helplessly,
"It's been a busy day today, why don't you rest?"
"Is the king's business done?"
"Oh, there is something I need to know about you, our army may not withdraw to Guanzhong for the time being."
"Huh?"
"It's good that you know in your own heart, if such a military event leaks out, I can't protect you."
Lu Pheasant remained silent, and laughed secretly in her heart, Liu Ji actually said it so high-soundingly, as if she had been protected by him when she was behind enemy lines.
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Liu Ji was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something again, and muttered,
"There are many concubines in the harem, you have taken the time to see them these days.
That Bo Ji, who was originally from Wei Bao Palace, is not familiar with the place in this Han camp, and is pregnant, so I bother you to take care of her. β
"Yes.
The concubine also has a request, since the second brother of Shi Zhi is back, it is better to let him take care of Ah Da and Ying'er with the judge. β
"Okay, these harem trivialities, it's up to you to decide in the future."
Liu Ji scratched his head, noncommittal, turned around and left.
The direction in which Liu Ji went was the courtyard where Qi Ji lived, and she had sent people to urge her several times.
is so panicked and burning eyebrows, are you so afraid that I will continue to have a relationship with her Han King?
Lu Pheasant wanted to laugh a little, but he had another big thing in his heart:
In her previous life, she had seen too many early talents, and the wisdom implied in those eyes that did not fit with her immature face often made her shudder when she dreamed back in the middle of the night.
Compared with people of the same age, the qualifications of his biological son Liu Ying are really mediocre, and he is not outstanding at all.
And whether Liu Fei really has no quarrel with the world, or just Taoguang is obscure, it remains to be seen.
Among his two elder brothers, the eldest brother Lu Ze charged into battle with Liu Ji and made great achievements, and he is a well-deserved hero;
The second brother Lu Shizhi was trapped in the enemy camp with her for more than two years, and was tortured by the Chu army to death, but Lu Pheasant knew that although he was weak and sickly, if he was strategic, Lu Shizhi would never lose to any strategist.
Not to mention, when Liu Ji left his hometown, he entrusted his entire wealth to him, and after so many years, his qualifications and loyalty have won the endorsement of Mrs. Liu and the elders of Pei County.
With the second brother and the trial to protect and assist the two boys, it should be able to avoid a fire in the backyard.
Somehow, Lu Pheasant recalled the Shenlong coup in the previous life, his own son Li Xian's hypocritical face when he forced the palace as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Princess Taiping who turned against her brother at a critical juncture, as well as the monstrous fire in Luoyang City.
To this day, she is reincarnated, she doesn't blame Li Xian for being vicious, nor does she hate Taiping for being confused, she just doesn't want to experience that kind of embarrassing and suffocating scene again in this life.
If you want to do it, you just let go of your hands to do it, and you are afraid of the palace and afraid of future generations, which is really unnecessary.
***
Twenty days later, the Han army tore up the armistice agreement and launched a fierce offensive against the Chu army.
Liu Jiqin, the king of Han, led the main Han army, from west to east, constantly pursuing the retreating Chu army.
The Chu army fought and retreated, lost its armor and was embarrassed, gave up the plan to directly withdraw east to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State, and was forced to be stationed in Chen County halfway to meet the battle in an all-round way.
Unexpectedly, the Chu army retreated to Chen County, but it gave the Han army a big problem.
Chen County is the former capital of the Chu State, close to Yingshui, relying on the two rear bases of the Chu State of Chen County and Jiujiang County, with abundant products and sufficient soldiers, which can be attacked and defended.
Xiang Yu entered Chen County, like a tiger returning to the deep mountains, an eagle entered the dense forest, comprehensively repaired, and sent his general Zhong Liwei to fortify the Guling in the north of Chen County, intending to block the pursuing Han army.
Liu Ji attacked Guling and was defeated, so he could only retreat to Yangxia City next to Guling and wait for the opportunity.
In the Han army, which had been singing all the way, discordant noises began to appear.
Lu Pheasant, who was in the rear, noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere, and what the cook and the soldiers who sprinkled and swept were no longer talking about the king and the heroic warriors, but the lone army of our army went deep into the rear of the enemy, and the battle situation was tight.
Lu Pheasant issued three orders in succession to strictly prohibit talking about the battle ahead, and the violators pulled out their tongues, which slightly stabilized the public opinion in the city.
At the same time, in the secret letter of the military report from the eldest brother Lu Ze, there is also constant bad news:
Han Xin and Peng Yue, who originally agreed to join forces with Liu Ji's main force and encircle Xiang Yu in the Huaibei region, are still standing still at the moment and are still waiting.
Watching the bamboo slips gradually swallowed up by the flames jumping in the brazier and turned into ashes, Lu Pheasant had a moment of distraction.
Then she called the maidservant,
"Go to Mrs. Bo and ask if I need to add more cheese rice cakes I gave her last time.
Look at her body for the past two days? β
The maid went for a moment and then returned, and said with a smile,
"Mrs. Bo said, I love to eat the snacks you sent, and there is still some left, so there is no need to add them.
She also said that her body has become heavier and heavier recently, and she has difficulty moving, and she can't go anywhere. β
"She can't move around, so let's go and visit her."
With that, Lu Pheasant walked straight to Bo Ji's residence.
