Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 134

[Chapter 132]

Luoyang.

On the seventh day of the first month of November, the first day of the year of The Year of The Year of The Great Ceremony, the official of the Great Ceremony Star said that it was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and everything was smooth.

On the eve of the day of the second day, the lotus terrace was brightly lit. Xingxun summoned his courtiers to sit through the night.

Fortunately, Xun Sat high on the stage, looking at the four seats, Gu Pan was proud. The crowd of staff members in the seat stood by, and everyone smiled and blushed, waiting for the news.

In Russia, Wei Weiqing walked inside and knelt down to offer a yellow veil.

Unfolded, it is the Zen edict of the young emperor Liu Tong. Claiming to be ashamed of his virtue and thin dignity, he is willing to emulate the ancient sages, zen to give the emperor a position in Xingxun, special edict to the world, and cover the great seal of the jade seal.

Gao Zhun also reported that tomorrow, when the hundred officials were ascended to the hall and the Chancellor entered the Thousand Autumn Hall, the Young Emperor would personally help the Chancellor ascend to the throne and read the edict of the Zen throne.

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of joy in the lotus flower platform. The crowd knelt down one after another and congratulated them with the gift of the Ninth Five.

Fortunately, Heson was overjoyed and gladly accepted. In the sound of singing and praising virtue, he saw that Yi lang Zhu zeng stood still, as if he was hesitant.

Zhu Zeng was Xingxun’s old counselor, who supported him all the way and offered advice, from Henan to Luoyang, and was quite senior. At this moment, everyone was celebrating, and he did not kneel alone, but Xingxun was unhappy, so he asked questions out loud.

Zhu Zeng said, “It is not that the prime minister cannot be called emperor, but the time has not yet come!” Although the Han Room is small, it is not tyrannical, and the minister is already an extremely popular subject, and suddenly replaces it, which is difficult to block the mouth of the world and is unpopular. That’s it, and all I’m worried about is the Northern Wei Shao. Wei Shao did not get rid of it for a day, and the hidden worries of The Prime Minister were there. I know that The Prime Minister is also bent on cutting Down Wei Shao. Wouldn’t it be better to publish a text, to accuse him of misdeeds, to become famous, and then to summon the princes to fight him together in the name of the Emperor of Han? If The Chancellor of the Han Dynasty came out in the name of emperor, then Wei Shao’s response to the battle was a blatant rebellion, and the battle did not start, and he lost a game first. If The Emperor rises up as an army, wouldn’t he have given the name of King Of Wei Shaoqin and openly provoked the world to jointly oppose the Emperor? Xingxun was

displeased: “Why did Ru say this and sweep away my happiness?” The so-called no virtue makes there be morality. The Han Emperor was ashamed of himself and had no virtue, and he could not afford to honor the throne and Zen to me, so why shouldn’t I take it? I have half a million soldiers and horses in the world, dozens of fierce generals, throwing whips can cut off the water, are you afraid of Wei Shao’er? A month ago, in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, there was another heavenly auspicious rui, foreshadowing the new lord of the world, which is in line with my name. The so-called heaven does not take, but is blamed!

Zhu Zeng said, “It’s not my nonsense.” The so-called heavenly descent in the eastern suburbs of the previous month was really suspicious. Su Shi’s sinister intentions, The prime minister must not be seduced by a woman, otherwise I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it! Fortunately, it is

impossible to believe these xiangrui dream statements. It’s just that he is bent on being called emperor, before suffering from no suitable opportunity, hesitating and swinging, just like Su’e Emperor To dream, throwing in his thoughts, such as handing over the pillow to the thirsty sleeper, the original five points of half-belief and half-doubt also became seven or eight points.

Listening to Zhu Zeng’s words, he was furious: “Ru bold! What is the intention? If it weren’t for the fact that you have followed me for many years and have a little merit, I will punish you severely! I have made up my mind, and those who have more words, chop! As soon

as these words came out, his subordinates did not change their color, and they all looked at Zhu Zeng, and there was a great sense of resentment.

Zhu Zeng’s begging sin retreated, disheartened.

Thinking about it, he was no longer as talented as he had just entered Luoyang before. Nowadays, he is arrogant and arrogant, and only the people around him are used, and the Feng Yi, Zang Chang, Feng Zhao, and Ding Qu who believe in them are all villains. He couldn’t wait to force the young emperor to abdicate and take his place, and to fight with Wei Shao was imminent. Judging the hour and sizing up the situation, I am afraid that the defeat has been decided.

Zhu Zeng returned to the house, worried in his heart. At dawn, he received a secret report saying that Xingxun had listened to Su Nu’s advice and was about to arrest him and kill him, and he was horrified. Fortunately, he did not have any extra family in Luoyang, and immediately fled from the South City Gate. Originally wanting to go to Wei Shao, but also thinking of Wei Shao’s fierce means to deal with the enemy, he shuddered, hesitated, and then turned around and ran to Hanzhong, changing to Hanzhong Hou Lezhenggong without mentioning it.

……

Little Joe is now four months pregnant, the morning sickness reaction is extremely large, the most severe, almost drink a sip of water is uncomfortable, morning and evening mostly lie in bed. Fortunately, there was Chunniang’s care, and half a month ago, Zhong Mi also rushed from Yuyang to Xindu.

Zhong Mi said that Lady Xu was very happy to learn of Jiayin. Specially sent her over to serve with Chunniang and told her to take care of herself.

With the two of them taking good care of her, Wei Shao was more considerate, almost holding it in the palm of his hand for fear, and being afraid of melting in his mouth, although the military affairs were gradually busy and busy recently, he would come back to accompany her as soon as he had time. Although his body felt unwell, Xiao Qiao’s mood was peaceful and happy. He sent a letter to Yanzhou telling his father that she was pregnant.

During the day, the Yanzhou messenger also arrived, and turned a reply letter from his father.

Qiao Ping was overjoyed and told her to take care of her body. He said that Qiao Ci was busy training outside, and when he returned, he would tell him the good news.

He also said that everything was fine at home, and he did not need her to remember, and told her to get along with her son-in-law.

Little Joe read his father’s letter back and forth several times.

The text is inconvenient, although the father’s letter does not explicitly say, but from the mention of Adi busy with military training, it can be seen that all along, the father’s side has never let go of the matter of trying to strengthen the previous discussion.

The most direct purpose of her original persuasion of her father to be strong was to avoid being a bird in that place, and she did not know that the disaster would come.

Now with Wei Shao’s assurance, although Xiao Qiao’s defensiveness had not been completely dissolved, it was much more lenient than before.

But even so, Xiao Qiao still felt that Yanzhou should try to be strong.

In such a chaotic world, only the army is strong and strong, and when it is invaded, no matter what the person who comes, there is room for turning.

It’s better than having to ask someone for help every time.

Reading such a sentence from his father that may be unintentional made Xiao Qiao feel very at ease.

After an afternoon of sleep during the day, I felt refreshed in the evening, so I got up to write back to my father.

After writing the reply, because of the near winter, the day gradually became shorter, and it was only in the middle of the unitary time, the sky was dark, and the spring lady entered the room to hold the lamp.

Zhong Mi instructed the two servant women to carry the food case inside, placed it on the bed, and asked Xiao Qiao to have dinner with a smile.

Xiao Qiao asked Wei Shao.

The reason why I asked was because although he had gradually become busy recently, he had generally returned at this point.

Since she was pregnant, she had eaten six or seven meals a day, and dinner was too early to eat, because these days, she waited for him to come back and the two of them ate together.

Today, I don’t see his figure.

Zhong Mi said, “Fang Cai Male Jun sent someone to send a message, saying that he would come back later, and asked the female Jun to eat by herself first, without waiting for him.”

Wei Shao had deliberately sent someone back to pass on the word, presumably there was something wrong.

Little Joe stopped waiting and ate his own meal. Afraid of vomiting again, he stood in the room to consume food, and was urged to lie down by Chunniang.

Wei Shao was delayed.

After Little Joe is pregnant, in addition to morning sickness, he also loves to get sleepy.

The days are basically muddy. Lying on the bed, waiting for Wei Shao while sleeping, confused, he fell asleep.

When she woke up, her ears were quiet, and she didn’t know what was the end of the day.

Without opening his eyes, he felt that there was an extra fiery body beside him, and he knew that Wei Shao was on the bed.

Feeling as if he were touching his cheek, he let out a soft sigh between the two of them, and the cat stretched out like a lazy waist, raised his hand to climb his shoulder, and lay on his chest softly and bonelessly, still closing his eyes, and asked vaguely: “When will the husband return?” ”

“It’s been a while.”

Listen to him.

Little Qiao Fang opened his eyes, propped up his arm to probe the clock leak in the eye room, and realized that it was the second half of the night.

He turned to Wei Shao, “So late, husband Jun still doesn’t sleep?”

Wei Shao did not answer. Just look at her face.

After a while, my cheeks burned. Unconsciously, but a kind of demeanor that is warm and fragrant and beautiful, peach and willowy, is very attractive.

Trying to resist the thought of leaning on Yu Yuxiang, he held her flat on the pillow, gently pressed his palm to her flat abdomen, smiled and asked, “Are you tortured by small things today?”

Little Joe leaned back on the pillow and shook his head: “Today I am sleeping, much better.”

She and Wei Shao looked at each other, “But what happened?” Husband Jun came back so late? Moreover

, I always felt that he looked at himself differently than usual.

“Brutal, for some time to come, I won’t be able to accompany you and our little things anymore.” Wei Shao stared at her and said.

Little Joe was stunned. Subconsciously, I wanted to ask what was wrong, and the words changed to my mouth.

“Is there another war?” She said softly.

“Xingxun usurped the throne and became emperor. Gather soldiers and horses, claiming half a million, and prepare to go north across the Yellow River and cut me down.
When
Wei Shao said this, his tone was calm.

But little Joe sensed a glint of excitement in his deep eyes.

Little Joe stayed.

She knew that there would be a decisive battle between Wei Shao and XingXun.

This will be a big war that changes color, whins, and determines the direction of the world.

The winning side, there is no doubt that the journey to the direction of the world will be overwhelming and unstoppable.

As she had dreamed of in her previous life.

Naturally, she also knew the results of the battle.

But unlike the previous life in her dream, the great battle with Wei Shao for the key to the world that was launched after Xingxun claimed the title of emperor and he called him Emperor Luoyang came so early.

At this moment that she did not expect, several years in advance, it suddenly came.

……

Xindu became Wei Shao’s temporary pre-war military headquarters for sniping at the battle.

The atmosphere over the city suddenly became tense.

A few days later, the people finally noticed the seemingly endless flow of armored and solemn-looking generals who had rushed here from all over the world.

They began to wonder whether a new war was coming again.

The populace is not wrong.

Li Dian, Li Chong, Zhang Jian, Wei Liang…

Within a few days, the generals under Wei Shao’s command, who had experienced hundreds of battles, received the news, and after making preparations for the rear defense, they answered the call from Youzhou and Hezhou and rushed to Xindu one after another.

The army began to move south one after another, and Chen Bing was on the north bank of the Yellow River.

From morning to night, even in the middle of the night, there are meteors and horses galloping in and out like lightning, delivering all kinds of news and news.

In the deliberative hall of the front hall of the Xingong, the lights often go out late at night, even all night.

There, Wei Shao and his advisers, generals, heavy guards, and grain and grass officials agreed on countermeasures and discussed strategies.

They were already prepared for this big battle.

Although the atmosphere is tense, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

It was just that Wei Shao suddenly became very busy.

Little Joe couldn’t have seen him again during the day.

He also always returned late in the evening.

Sometimes in the early hours of the morning, after sleeping for a while, I would be called away by a new news about the front line of the Yellow River.

Half a month later, on this day at the end of November, Wei Shao finally decided on a strategy to fight.

With Liyangdu in the north of the Yellow River as the base camp for the great war, the construction of the village zazhai, gaotang and fanjin, the construction of the horn, the southwest two hundred miles away from the Huangchi as a grain and grass depot, the formation of a defensive line to wait for the stern, sniper Xingxun army on the north bank of the Yellow River, decisive battle.

Three days later, he would leave Xindu and lead a large army to Liyang.

Also on the same day, Xiao Qiao received a letter from Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu’s letter was simple, with only one sentence.

She said: The surrogate grandmother sent a battle for Shao’er.
