Wancheng Palace.

The night was deep, the black clouds were dark, the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen, and the air had the smell of before the rain.

In the bright lights of the main hall of the palace, Yuan Shu sat on the couch, urging people to report the battle situation several times, and this time he seemed to be late, which made him suddenly palpitate......

Ji Ling is a general, and he should be fine.

The huge palace was empty, only the gauze tents fluttered.

Xijing Chang'an, Tokyo Luoyang relative, because Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu originated here, and Wancheng as the accompanying capital, also known as the southern capital, has its own palace of the Son of Heaven, every few years the emperor will come to live for a few days, it is rumored that the first emperor came to Nanyang 20 years ago when he met the current queen mother, shocked by the heavens, is to give people to choose it.

The content of this gossip is a bit unreliable, the Queen Mother was only ten years old at the time, Lori, and she didn't grow up, how amazing?

Unless Emperor Han Ling likes this kind of loli......

However, the queen mother is indeed from Wancheng, no wonder the emperor and his wife gossip together, it seems that the local people are not afraid to talk about the Son of Heaven like outsiders, Wancheng Township is still telling the story of their grandfather's generation and Liu Xiu doing cattle herding babies together, I have to say that Liu Xiu is a guy who is full of charm, and he misses the old feelings, and he has never forgotten his hometown, even if young people have the opportunity to see the holy face almost every few years, and they have a natural sense of closeness to the emperor - aren't they all fellow villagers

Since the Son of Heaven often comes, this palace is not in disrepair compared to other places, but it is brilliant and solemn, and it really has the atmosphere of the Han Palace.

There is usually a team of palace guards on duty, and in normal years, no one dares to come in casually unless the royal family is lucky, let alone sleeping in the main hall of this Han Palace - do you think your life is long?

But at this time, the world collapsed, and officials in various places killed thieves, thieves killed officials, thieves killed thieves, and officials killed officials, all of whom accused each other of crimes, and it was not surprising that anything happened under the collapse of order.

After Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi was killed, Yuan Shu sent soldiers to surround the Han Palace, killed the captain of the palace guard who refused to surrender, sent the palace guards, and moved into the Han Palace safely, occupied the palace maid, and lived no different from the Han Emperor.

The people in the city looked sideways, but they didn't dare to say anything, and privately sneered at Yuan Shu for being a monkey, and discussed when Liu Yuanjun in the north would be able to fight when these undercurrents were just undercurrents, and there was not enough strength to make sense, and everything was isolated outside the palace gate.

Yuan Shu is the fourth and third dukes, the most noble gate valve origin, even among the gate valves in the world, he is the most detached from the bottom, and he usually doesn't pay attention to the sound of these weeds below.

"Brother, brother asks to see"

"Come in" The door opened, and the clan brother Yuan Yin came in, saluted silently, handed over a secret letter, and whispered: "Brother, I just received a letter from Brother Shao in Jizhou, and it was proposed to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, in order to resist the righteous name of the Luoyang Puppet Emperor and the Empress Dowager Xuchang."

"Liu Yu is the emperor?" Yuan Shu woke up and smiled dumbly: "Youzhou and Jizhou are combined, and then there is a merger of this time and space, it is not a laborious thing to persuade Qingzhou Tian Kai, the four states of Hebei are established, who can resist it now? Isn't it him Yuan Shao in the world?"

Yuan Yin was in a cold sweat: "Brother be cautious, be cautious, Liu Yu is the Son of Heaven, and he is still the ...... of the Han family."

"Hmph, the Han family is ...... in the world" Yuan Shu was noncommittal, and looked up at him: "What do you think of Yuan Shao's strategy."

"My brother didn't dare to say anything. Where did Yuan Yin dare to call Yuan Shao's name directly, and whispered: "It's really possible, I'm afraid that not only the four states are established, but also our Jingzhou can have five states, this is a great opportunity for my Yuan family, and five generations of people have worked hard to get this monstrous luck...... Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian all have to die, and the world is our Yuan ...... cough, I mean that our Yuan family is a hero of Zhongxing, and it has been honored for generations......"

Is my Yuan family in the world......

Yuan Shu understood what he meant, thinking that this was indeed a great opportunity, his face was blue and red when he heard it, but he couldn't help but touch the heirloom jade seal in his arms, and his eyes were cold: "How can you think about things?"

"Yes, yes, my brother retired. Yuan Yin retreated, and when he came out, he couldn't help but whisper: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, brother, please think twice." ”

"Okay, let me think again......"

Yuan Shu repelled Yuan Yin, wandered in the palace alone, stroked the heirloom jade seal in his arms, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "How can you allow this son of a maid to be proud...... God has given me a heavy treasure to pass on the jade seal of the country, and I Yuan Shu is the one who has obtained the emperor."

The bright yellow light reflected his distorted face, and he roared in a low voice: "I am the real ......"

"Report - Liu Beijun has come in"

A lieutenant general rushed into the hall in a hurry, followed by a few cronies and old ministers, disheveled, and shouted: "Lord, let's go quickly"

"What...... What?" Yuan Shu was still in a trance, didn't react, turned his head stiffly, and looked at the mouth of a cronie and old minister: "You mean, Liu Bei killed in?"

Unbelievable, not even incomprehensible.

I don't know when the sound of shouting and killing sounded in the night sky, which made Yuan Shu shudder, and when he woke up, his face was already red: "What about Ji Ling?"

"General Ji was killed in battle, and General Lei Bo and Chen Lan were also killed in battle."

"Where are my soldiers?"

"The army is all gone...... The city gate was opened by fraud, Liu Bei has already attacked it, and the soldiers left behind in the big camp are about to run away, don't ask, don't ask, run away"

Several old ministers shouted to their own soldiers, and desperately pulled Yuan Shu out of the hall, ignoring his struggles: "How is it possible, this is Nanyang, the emperor's hometown, the place of fortune, the source of the dragon vein, I have a heaven-given jade seal, I am the true son of heaven, how can I be defeated......"

"Don't shout nonsense, take advantage of it, run to Yangzhou......"

In the darkness and chaos, something dropped with a "poof", and no one noticed.

As soon as the sound of horses' hooves was far away, Yuan Yin also ran over: "Brother, wait for me...... Brother, brother?"

shouted anxiously, but tripped over something and threw himself on the ground, and when he looked up again, he found that he was only facing an empty hall: "Damn, it's all gone......"

Yuan Yin sat up with his legs crossed, and suddenly fixed his eyes on the white marble steps at his feet, a jade seal inlaid with gold horns lit up with mysterious light in the dark, reflecting eight ancient seal characters: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"

"Ah, it's ......" Yuan Yin is a pure Han people, how could he not know this thing, his face was red and white for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, suddenly turned his head to the north, and the letter appeared in front of him: "No wonder my brother has changed a lot recently, it turns out that there is this thing - but now chasing after Yangzhou must have no future...... Fortunately, he has more than one brother. ”

Yuan Yin is very realistic, he doesn't believe that Sun Jian is really taking refuge in Yuan Shu, and he doesn't have the strength to run empty-handed, so why should he command others?

At this time, he gritted his teeth, took the jade seal, went to find a horse outside the palace, and rushed out of the city after patting the horse, avoiding the soldiers and throwing Yuan Shao to Jizhou.

In Jingshui, outside the city to the east, a group of men and horses were packing their bags and preparing to cross the river, and soon there was an exclamation: "My jade seal, who moved my jade seal"

Distorted sounds pierced the night sky, and crows awoke from the woods and flew out, rattling in the air, adding to an ominous atmosphere.

But compared to these embarrassed deserters, because the balance of victory and defeat was too fast, the situation was quickly controlled, and the local area was not affected much by the war.

Liu Beijun quickly occupied Wancheng, rectified the order inside and outside the city, searched for rebels, protected the residents, everything was done in eastern Henan, in good order, and it can even be said that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun found that this aftermath was easier than in eastern Henan, perhaps because Yuan Shu's recent rule was too unpopular?

This night the people couldn't sleep, whether it was a big family or a small family, many adult men were armed to hide behind the door to observe, until they saw that this group of officers and soldiers was in order, and saw that it was Liu Zhijun's banner, so they all put their hearts down: "Go back to sleep, go back to sleep......

"Tomorrow we can continue to open. ”

"Is Liu Envoy here?"

"I'll see ...... tomorrow"

There was no ceremony to enter the city in the middle of the night, but the safety of the palace was determined, when the queen mother was about to enter the city by car, Zhao Yun was stationed on the side of the street, and was dealing with the old people of several townships complaining about Yuan Shujun's encroachment on the people's land.

A few village elders are not entangled, seeing that it is very late, they will discuss it tomorrow, and suddenly saw the figure of the woman in Jin Chiluan's car, and was shocked: "But what is the daughter?"

This voice is familiar and unfamiliar, with the taste of the country sound, the Queen Mother was stunned, and when she looked back, she made several villagers wake up and bow down: "Meet the Queen Mother......"

The Queen Mother had no impression of these old men, so she still inquired about the situation and dealt with it briefly.

Several villagers went away gratefully, and all the way they praised "the queen mother and Liu Yuanjun's kindness", "the teacher of benevolence and righteousness", and "the revival of the Han family"......

The Queen Mother pressed her heart and looked back, the mountains and rivers in the night outside the city, the familiar and unfamiliar streets and alleys after entering the city, and the ancient Han Palace......

Many impressions that I thought I had forgotten came up little by little, and after a little ignorance, I couldn't say what kind of sour and melancholy.

Cao Baijing noticed it and asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

"No, mourning...... The mourning family only felt that the war was too smooth, and it was like a dream. ”

"It's going well, but the husband has prepared a lot of work, and if the deception just now fails, there will be an internal response

The Queen Mother listened: "It seems that Liu Yuanjun's infiltration of Jingbei in the past two years has been good. ”

Cao Baijing noticed that she had no resistance to talking about this infiltration attitude, and thought to herself: "Well, my husband said that the situation in Nanyang County is the best, and this cannot but be said to be an outlier. ”

The remnants of the Han dynasty in the imperial township...... The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and sighed slightly: "No wonder Liu Yuanjun is not afraid of Yuan Shu's resistance, this thief has no popular base in Nanyang, and Liu Yuanjun has not yet set foot in Jingzhou, and he is already more popular than this thief." ”

Cao Baijing's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he was sure that he was guessing in his heart, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "No wonder Fujun said that the people of Nanyang generally believe that the Han family can be revived, isn't this Queen Mother the best example......?"

The queen mother didn't know that she had been studied by this girl, so she just laughed casually: "In fact, accompanying the capital like this is a channel for the Son of Heaven to directly contact the locality, and the county officials dare not neglect their ministry, let alone treat the people harshly, and they dare not force the people too much, otherwise one day the Son of Heaven will drive and meet the father and the villagers to complain angrily, no matter whether the lawsuit is successful or not, there will be a large number of people who will be unlucky......"

"Hey, isn't it just that someone is unlucky, but it's a pity that Yuan Shu slipped away...... The husband said he was going to cut him. ”

"Yuan Shu?" The Queen Mother laughed: "Where can this thief slip away? He is still hanging Yangzhou Mu, I heard that Sun Jian has obeyed him for the past two years? I'm afraid there is a good show in Jiangdong......

“... It's just that the country is passed on" came to her mouth, and the Queen Mother shrank back again, she cared about this the most.

Jin Chi's Luan stopped in front of the palace, cleaned up, and arranged to bring the palace maid with the car, and the queen mother went in to rest accompanied by Mrs. Gan.

It wasn't until dawn that she suddenly woke up from her dream, sat up with her arms in her arms, and was stunned in the dark

"The Queen Mother?"

There was a voice of inquiry behind her, and when she looked back, Mrs. Gan heard the voice, and only the lamp in her hand was illuminated in the darkness, like a snow-white jade figure.

The Queen Mother secretly praised in her heart and shook her head: "It's okay, the mourning family is just a dream." ”

Cao Baijing sat down beside the Queen Mother, her dark eyes were a little curious under the light: "Can you talk about it?" As a Taoist priest, the concubine is familiar with the changes in her divine consciousness, and she may be able to interpret the dream of the Queen Mother......

"The mourning family dreamed that Liu Yuanjun rode a cow to the battlefield......" The Queen Mother said, seeing that Mrs. Gan was puzzled: "When I was a child, I listened to the stories told by the old people, saying that the first time Emperor Guangwu went to the battlefield, because he had no horses, he and the soldiers rode the buffalo at home to the battle......"

Cao Baijing hid her mouth and laughed, and listened to the Queen Mother continue to talk about her dreams.

Hearing that it was all about Emperor Guangwu later, it turned out to be all on her husband, which made Cao Baijing's gaze gradually strange: "When the Queen Mother was young, don't you like to listen to the legendary stories of Guangwu Zhongxing?"

The Queen Mother was a little unnatural to be touched on her privacy, but she still responded: "Yes." ”

There is more to be said, like many of her peers in Nanyang, the little girl grew up bathed in the legendary story of Guangwu Zhongxing - this may be the reason why she subconsciously quickly accepted Ye Qing.

"The Han family can be revived. She always thinks like this, and when she returns to her hometown after a long absence, it is inevitable that she will fall asleep.

Cao Baijing can guess some, although she knows that this has nothing to do with Fengyue, but her husband was dreamed of by other women, and he is still a true son, which makes her inevitably feel a little sour in her heart, and she doesn't say anything, just gossiping, blinking and asking: "Does the Queen Mother think he can do it?"

"Of course......" The Queen Mother responded, suddenly aware of something, and glanced at her: "Can Sanxing the Han Room." ”

Cao Baijing also smiled, but heard the rain outside and the sound of hurried footsteps, which was distributing clothes and hats to the guards on duty and patrolling......

In the army, the husband has always attached great importance to the supply of supplies for the army.

In the sound of the drizzling rain, there was a peaceful atmosphere, and the room gradually calmed down.

"The husband is about to arrive in Xuzhou, is it also raining over there?" Cao Bai looked out the window for a while, and when he saw that the night was spreading, he suddenly whispered.

Nanyang County is solved, but Xuzhou is full of danger, Cao Cao has a large number of ground soldiers to join, in fact, the army is very strong.

And after the release of Dong Yuwen, how many people will respond?

After Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian were destroyed one after another, the prestige of the Han family should be mentioned again, at least few of the princes really believed it, and the rest was nothing more than to seek the benefits of Dong Bo and encroach on the righteousness......

At this level, the husband is on the opposite side of all the princes, what will he do to guide the situation of Dong Dong?

For a while, Cao Baijing was a little stupid.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao Gan's expression, the Queen Mother's heart moved, she is a woman, and she understands the meaning of Mrs. Xiao Gan's expression...... I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart, and in the blink of an eye, my eyes dimmed again.

At this time, the west wind swept the rain and struck the tiles with a clanging sound, as if someone was whispering.
