Sweet Beauty - Chapter 93
The sound of shouting started from seven or eight people, and gradually more people joined, to hundreds of people shouting in unison, and even more people beat drums on the tower, and the sound was overwhelming and resounded in all directions.
The remnants of Geng Yun, who were still fighting inside and outside the city gate, were stunned, looked up, and saw Liu Yu standing leisurely, looking around, chatting and laughing with the demeanor of a king, and seeing that Geng Yun really had an arrow in his back, full of energy. The blood-drenched one couldn’t help but glared angrily, as if he couldn’t rest his eyes.
For a time, inside and outside Xiayang City, Liu Yu’s subordinates cheered loudly – the great Sima Geng Yun, who had been in charge of the government for several years, was finally completely killed by Xiao Wang!
Chang’an City is in sight.
…
On that day, 100,000 soldiers in the army raised their hands to celebrate together inside and outside Xiayang City. After nightfall, it was rare to get Liu Yu’s permission to drink and eat meat and gather for fun.
On the other hand, the descending generals under Geng Yun’s subordinates were trembling and huddled in one place, waiting for Liu Yu’s release.
It is easy for others to say that among those generals, several of them were former members of Liu Xu’s family. After Liu Xu was killed, in order to avoid implicated himself, they turned their heads and followed Geng Yun, and even scolded Liu Xu.
Rao is the capitalist Liu Yukuan, and he couldn’t avoid a burst of panic.
After some deliberation, dozens of people knelt outside Liu Yu’s tent together, shouting: “I have committed sins, please, Your Majesty!”
Liu Xiu sat in the tent, his face was already gloomy, he closed his eyes for a moment, and remained silent. When the people outside gradually became flustered, he put on a gentle smile and slowly paced out, his hands behind his back, and said pleasantly, “What are you doing? Guilty?”
Everyone looked at each other, but did not dare to speak. After a long while, someone in the side said tremblingly, “Your Majesty, I wait… ashamed of the big Situ…”
Liu Yu’s expression did not change, only the dark eyes flashed ridicule, but for a moment, he personally went to help people up one by one, and said with a smile: “Why did you say this? In the situation that day, all of you were compelled, and I knew it. Come down to me, I will not be embarrassed, please get up.”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was suspicious at first, hesitated for a moment, remembered his past as a human being, and finally gradually believed it.
However, when the people were gone, when Liu Yu returned to the account, his originally genial face quickly sank again. After sitting alone for a while, he picked up a pen and listed several names on the bamboo slip, and then called Liu Ji in and handed it over to him: “These people, look for an opportunity to build up their bottom line, and then pretend to be an accident and get rid of them.”
Liu Jiyi sighed, and he should surrender first. After taking a look, he knew what to do and took the order.
The person written on it was clearly the one who had sensed the direction of the wind before Da Situ was killed, but not only did he stand by, but also fell into the trap in secret.
Right now, these people are mixed in with ordinary descendants. Since they can’t be killed in an open and honest manner, that’s all they can do.
When the jubilant atmosphere in the army faded a little, Guo Qu, etc. went into the tent to persuade him to enter: “Your Majesty, Geng Yun is dead, and the ministers implore your Majesty to enter Chang’an as soon as possible to ease the current situation.”
Liu Yu first sat down for everyone, and then praised and praised them one by one, and then said: “This matter is not urgent for the time being, Chang’an still has the emperor in charge, and I am a prince, if there is no emperor’s edict, I cannot enter Chang’an. Except, now it is up to the Son of Heaven to make a decision.”
After all, he took out the silk book he had already written and gave it to Guo Qu and others for circulation.
In the book, the emperor advised the emperor to re-select virtuous people as soon as possible, reinvigorate the dynasty, help the Han family, and even pleaded with the emperor, declared the injustice of the late chief minister Liu Xu, and asked the emperor to allow him to enter the city and break the matter again. , find out the mastermind, and punish severely.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. For some reason, when the arrow was on the string, Liu Yu suddenly stagnated.
Especially Xishan Chijin’s family, even more anxiously said: “When I follow the king, I think that the king is benevolent and righteous and worthy of a big responsibility, if today’s child is only a yellow-mouthed child, in this huge world, where can a child be able to shoulder it? The road is just around the corner, why does the king have to be so self-effacing? They are all descendants of the great ancestors, why does this precarious country need to be handed over to a weak child?”
Others responded in succession: “That’s right! I will follow the king to death and kill countless enemies, so as not to listen to the dispatch of the yellow-mouthed child from now on!”
For a while, the group was angry, and it seemed that some people could not bear it, and they blurted out the words of persuading Liu Yu to establish himself as an emperor.
Guo Qu hurriedly cupped his hands and signaled everyone to be calm, and said, “Everyone, listen to the king’s words.”
Seeing the crowd quiet down, Liu Yufang stepped forward, bowed deeply to the crowd first, and said, “Xianxian thanked you all for being so trusting, and he never abandoned me when he was in danger and despair. This kind of friendship, I keep it in my heart.”
“However, the purpose of this trip has been made clear a few months ago. It is a traitorous minister on the side of the Qing monarch. Now that the traitorous minister has been executed, and the purpose has been fulfilled, I should understand the duty of being a minister. Even if I have a little selfishness, I just want to avenge my brother. That’s it.”
After that, he looked embarrassed and ashamed: “Do you want me to be a scoundrel for thousands of people, ashamed of the ancestors of the Han family, a chaotic thief who usurped power and seized the throne? So, how is it different from Geng Yun? ?”
There was silence all around, and these vassals looked at each other, unable to figure out what he meant for a while.
Guo Qu carefully comprehended the deep meaning of his words, and recalled the book he had just read, he finally understood, and said, “Your Majesty is right, and now is the time to do your duty as a minister. Anything that can be done, or even the matter of taking care of the great Situ Zhaoxue, can only be done by the Son of Heaven, and no one else can overstep it.”
When he talked about “selecting talents and appointing talents” and “Zhao Xue”, he emphasized his tone, which made everyone gradually understand.
This is giving the Son of Heaven a decent chance.
What is the meaning of choosing a sage? It is clearly to make His Majesty abdicate and let the virtuous; what does it mean to find out the mastermind? It is clearly to persuade the queen mother to confess guilt by herself.
In this way, it can still leave respect for the pair of orphans and widowed mothers. If the emperor can take the initiative to make virtuous people, maybe in the future he can still be an ordinary prince, and he will return to the fief and be comfortable and rich enough to spend the rest of his life.
After some reflection, everyone’s suspicion and anxiety dissipated a little, and they retreated one by one.
Guo Qu deliberately stayed at the end. When there was no one else around, Fang frowned and said solemnly: “When did your majesty become so soft-hearted?”
Liu Xiu’s face stiffened, and then he smiled and said, “Why did you say this, Junqing?”
Guo Qu did not shy away, and said bluntly: “King Qu Cong has been for several years. Although he does not dare to claim to know the temperament of the king, he admits that he is familiar with it a little. Although the king is usually kind and generous in dealing with people, however When it comes to important matters, he has never been merciful. Now that Geng Yun has been eliminated, even if the king will abolish the emperor tomorrow, no one dares to say anything more. However, the king suddenly does this, and seems to let him live, don’t you know , is it the truth of cutting grass and eradicating its roots? Even if the emperor has no ambitions, it is difficult to resist people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it.”
Liu Yu had an expressionless face, waved his hand and said, “Forget it, Junqing, I know that Duan will not teach this to happen.”
Guo Qu did not continue to be aggressive: “Your Majesty, but because of the queen?”
When Liu Yu heard the words, his color suddenly changed, and he said, “Junqing, be careful!”
Guo Qu didn’t change his face, and directly bowed: “Qu also asks the king to think again.”
For the first time, the two were at odds with each other. Liu Yu glared angrily for a moment, and finally rubbed his brows irritably with his knuckles, sighed, and said sternly, “Don’t worry, Junqing, I don’t think the foundation that everyone has worked so hard for will be destroyed.”
…
In the early morning of the second day, after Xia Yang’s affairs were settled, he handed over yesterday’s silk paper to Guo Qu, and ordered him to be sent to Chang’an three days later, and he specially instructed the emperor to make a decision within one month.
When everything was in order, he was still the same as before, leading a dozen people to accompany him, lightly riding to Luoyang.
Now that it’s October, the heat has dissipated and the chill has begun to rise. Counting the days, Ah Shu has been pregnant for more than seven months, and she will have to give birth in less than two months. Liu Xiu thought about going back to have a look after the war.
This time back, because I only need to go to Luoyang, the distance is much closer. A group of people rushed, but they arrived in two days.
In the evening, after entering the Suzaku Gate of the Nangong Palace, and then detouring to the Jiade Gate, I saw Ah Shu Fang on the Balan Terrace. Po Nu and others were on both sides, a few people were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very happy. They should have heard the news of his victory.
Sure enough, when everyone saw it was Liu Yu, they were stunned for a moment, and then they smiled and greeted him with congratulations.
Especially Po Nu, he gave him a deep bow like a little adult, and said solemnly in a still childish voice: “Uncle is like a god, and has great wisdom. In the future, Po Nu will also be like his uncle, enter the battlefield and make meritorious deeds.”
Hearing this, Liu Yu picked him up with a loud laugh, walked with A Shu, praised him without hesitation, and asked about his daily homework.
Deng Wan gave Liu Zhao a wink, and Liu Zhao understood, and the two led the child away first and returned to the pavilion where they lived temporarily.
Liu Xiu waved his hand to tell the servants to stay away, and stretched out his arms to embrace her, and the two slowly walked towards Changqiu Palace step by step.
He looked down at her bulging belly with gentle eyes, and said, “In a month or two, my belly seems to have gotten bigger again.”
Ah Shu also followed his gaze and smiled, “I will give birth soon, and naturally I will grow up day by day.”
She seemed to remember something, the dimples on her cheeks deepened, and she looked sideways: “I only learned yesterday that my husband has won, why are you back today? There are so many people on the front line, all waiting for my husband.”
Liu Yu couldn’t help thinking of Guo Qu’s words, and he frowned silently, then let go, and said as if nothing had happened: “The traitor is eliminated, the war will stop, just to give the soldiers a chance to celebrate and breathe, I will also come back to see you. Don’t worry. , it will not be wrong.”
Ah Shu smiled, and remembered that he was about to enter Chang’an, she couldn’t help but smile a little, and said, “Although Geng Yun is gone, the overall situation has not yet been settled, can your husband have a plan?”
She knew that his goal was not just to kill the empress dowager and avenge her brother, but it was just a matter of time, whether he wanted to kill the empress dowager, deal with the emperor, or be the emperor, she just felt Some panic and confusion, not knowing how to behave.
But he didn’t know that when Liu Yu heard the words, he only subconsciously remembered the young emperor, he stroked her cheek, and said a little dryly: “I have a plan, don’t worry, I will never break my promise when I promise you.”
Ah Shu just looked at him silently, and said nothing.
After entering the Changqiu Palace, she sat down, and Queer walked forward consciously, lifted Ashu’s legs flat, stretched out her hands and kneaded it little by little.
Liu Yu went into the inner room and changed his clothes for a while. Seeing this, he quickly asked, “What are you doing? But your legs and feet are hurt?”
Ah Shu waved her hand and said, “No, I’m very well. It’s just that I’ve been swollen recently, and my legs are swollen and uncomfortable every day. I have to go for a walk, and then come back and press it again.”
Liu Xiu took a closer look, and sure enough, she saw her two straight and slender legs, as if they were slightly rounder than before.
When Ah Shu saw his gaze, she couldn’t help shrinking, bit her lip and said nervously, “Teach you to see this look, I’m really ashamed.”
Liu Yu knew that she was suspicious that she had lost the beauty of the young girl she used to be, so she sighed secretly, ordered Que’er to go down, and went to pick up her legs, put them on his knees, and massaged her little by little. .
“It took you so much energy to give birth to this child. In the future, you must teach him to respect you well.”
The strength in his hands was much stronger than Queer’s, which made her swollen and uncomfortable legs feel much better.
After the lights went out at night, the two slept in the same bed.
Ah Shu could no longer lie on her back, she could only lie on her side, and it was difficult to even turn over, and she slept very lightly.
Liu Xiu took care of her, but he didn’t sleep well, so he got up several times to tuck the quilt for her, helped her turn over, and poured water for her. When it came to Pingdan, she was suddenly sweaty, her legs were kicking, her eyes were closed, her brows were clenched, like a nightmare, she hurriedly got up and lighted the lamp, sat up with her arms around her, shook and called again, and then woke up. .
He handed her water to her lips, and seeing that she took two sips with a pale face, her eyes became clearer, then he leaned over to kiss her forehead, and asked softly, “What’s wrong? What did you dream about? You’re so scared.”
A Shu still had lingering fears, and silently clenched the quilt: “It bothers my husband to sleep more restlessly than me.”
Although she has been sleeping poorly recently because of her pregnancy, she has never experienced this. Xu Shi suddenly mentioned Zhang Hou and Shaodi today, and just now she dreamed of a scene of arrows, swords, swords and shadows in Changle Palace.
The dream that haunted her in the past, she thought it was gradually getting better, but today she suddenly relived it, which made her tremble.
Looking at her like this, Liu Yu couldn’t help but worry even more, and asked again, “What exactly did you dream about?”
Ashu covered her heart in panic, hesitated and struggled for a while, then looked up at him, her usual soft voice was a little more hoarse: “I dreamed that I was in Changle Palace with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty.”
“Husband… kill us all.”
