Chapter 314

Sang Yanghong was more than seventy years old, and he was an official in three dynasties. When the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he once wore armor as a civil servant and went into battle.

The faces of the elders in the Elder's House were all different, Zhuge Shangqing sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to his bearer, "Follow Master Sang."

The mighty and magnificent convoy set off slowly, stretching for tens of miles. The ones in front had already bypassed the birch forest, and the ones behind had not yet received the instruction to detour to pick them up.About two hours later, the sky was full of fiery red clouds, the sun was setting, and the jackdaws were flying. The jade chariot finally arrived at the west gate of Taikang.However, what they saw was a wide open city gate and messy horse manure all over the ground.

Cao Maoyong, editor-in-chief of the Presbyterian Court, staggered out of the carriage with the support of his servants. Shengdu City occupies a vast area, surrounded by mountains and rivers. He wanted to detour from the east gate to the west gate. The fate of the white-haired old man.At this moment, all the people who talked about it all day long were also eloquent. Mr. Cao, who can be called the number one writer in Southern Chu, pointed at the defenders who were clearing up the horse manure, and tremblingly said, "This, this, what is going on? Where is the emperor? "

The lowest-ranking soldier in the guard of the capital city looked at the officials with disheveled hats and messy clothes, who looked like court officials who had run for a few miles, almost stuttered, knelt down on the ground, stammered He replied: "Your majesty, your majesty has brought a large army into, into the city."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a loud noise. The ministers of Nanchu who had been waiting for a day suddenly opened their eyes like copper bells, and exclaimed in disbelief.

The emperor has entered the city?Didn't meet the elders of the prison, didn't summon meritorious ministers, didn't give rewards for meritorious service, didn't hold banquets, and didn't even meet the courtiers who were waiting for him, just entered the city quietly like this?

Three days ago, the civil and military officials in the capital of Southern Chu received the news that the Emperor of Chu had returned to the court. General Song Yang, who returned to the capital first, reported the general situation of the Western Expedition to the Ministry of War, which completely shocked the court of Southern Chu. .

The emperor is about to return.

All day long, the ministers of Southern Chu who wrote the letter of death remonstrance cheered and cheered. The emperor was finally going to return the court, and he would no longer go to war with a group of vulgar barbarians in those Western barbarian lands. Annihilation, the subjugation of Xichuan is even more exciting.

But in an instant, they were completely stunned by the news that the Empress Zhuang would also return to court.

Although it has been five years since the emperor was established, the empress has no real name after all, and everyone has tenaciously persisted until today with the belief that the emperor will figure it out one day.But three days later, the woman who had been the princess of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, was later abandoned as a concubine by the Emperor of Chu, and finally defected from the country to pass on to King Qin Xuan, caused two wars between the Eastern Qi and Southern Chu, and almost caused chaos among the four kingdoms on the White Deer Plain. Going back to Southern Chu and going to be the queen, poor ministers of Southern Chu who are not prepared at all, how can there be a thunderbolt from the blue sky?
As a result, the Southern Chu court was completely furious. Under the leadership of the Presbyterian Court, Shanglinyuan, Zhanshifu, Yushitai, Shengdu Taixue, Inspector's Pavilion, and Hanlin Department all went to Beijing to rush for an exam, citing scriptures and classics all night Dadan, the articles of impeachment are full of flowers, memorized memorably, carefully examined the school, and revised several drafts, so that the woman who was in the early days of the Qin and the early twentieth, flirtatious, and brought disaster to the country and the people must end in disgrace, disgrace, and dismal.

Therefore, the welcome ceremony held this morning was extremely lively. Not only the leading generals stationed in Beijing, but even the imperial censors who should not have come to welcome them all came to join in the fun. Everyone worked hard and waited. As soon as that woman appeared, she verbally and verbally criticized her and left.However, from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, I still didn't even see a single person.After finally getting the news, he was told that the emperor had brought people to Beijing.

Everyone held back so much energy, but they punched the cotton, and no one would be in a good mood.All the elders of the elders' house blow their beards and stare with their feet turned upside down. After the first battle in Loulan, the secret that Xia Qing is Zhuang Qingxia has spread like wildfire. The daughters of the big families in Eastern Qi who love Xia Qing are in great pain. , who took poison and hanged herself repeatedly, remembering her misbehavior in Dongqihai City before, the elders were so angry that they almost gave up and passed away.Originally, I wanted to give the emperor who was fascinated by the witch today a blow, cry and remonstrate to death, and vowed not to let this seductive woman enter Shengdu half a step, but in this situation, what should I do?
Sang Yanghong is also responsible for assisting the government, so naturally he doesn't have a good impression of Zhuang Qingxia.Seeing this scene, Shen Sheng snorted coldly, and said to the civil servants who were either furious, crying, or heartbroken: "Everyone, please follow me to the front gate of the temple. If we don't see Your Majesty today, we will not be willing to let you go." .”

The morale of the civil servants of Southern Chu was greatly boosted, and they followed Sang Yanghong with their chests up and their heads up, and they left arrogantly thinking about the prosperous capital of the imperial city.Only a group of generals were left staring at the spot, not knowing what to do.

"General Wang, what shall we do?"

A third-rank lieutenant general came forward and said to Wang Tinghe, the guard of the capital city.

Wang Tinghe looked at the civil servants leaving in the dust, curled his lips in disdain, spit out with a bah, and said, "What else can I do? Those who should guard the city should be on duty, and the rest should be on duty." All of you go home."

The lieutenant general frowned and said, "Aren't we going to follow?"

"What are you going to do?" Wang Tinghe said with a sneer: "You have been on the battlefield anyway. Can you do it with 1 people against 30 to defend Loulan? Those old guys don't know what to do. Let's not follow." Just joining in the fun, the Chu army in the east has already sharpened their swords, and we, the queen, are by no means simple people."

The sunset was red in the sky, the army that greeted the holy driver gradually retreated, and the city gate gradually returned to dead silence, the north wind swept through, and it was desolate.

Just as the Southern Chu civil officials were weeping and admonishing the front gate of the temple, in the small building in the middle of the lake in the south of the city, a blue cloth painted boat was swaying faintly in the water.Chu Li changed out of his battle armor, wearing a lavender brocade robe, with long black hair tied behind him, leaning on the couch, holding a cup in his left hand, and resting his right hand on the side of his head, with his eyes slightly closed. Leisurely.

Qing Xia flipped through the information sent by Le Song, and kept wiping it. Time passed, and after a long while, she felt her neck was sore, and she suddenly raised her head, just in time to see Chu Li's fingers on his knees while listening to the song. Beating the beat, I couldn't help but feel angry, and my voice turned cold: "You will enjoy it."

Chu Li opened his eyes, looked at Qing Xia with playful eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth slantingly, and said with a smile: "No one keeps you busy."

Qing Xia snorted coldly, flipped through the documents with her head down, and said: "Your humerus ministers are about to cry to death at the front door of the temple. If you don't go and look, you will really die."

Chu Li leaned on the step, folded his arms around his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "They are tired from crying, so they will go back naturally."

Qing Xia looked him up and down suspiciously, seeing Chu Li's composure, she couldn't help thinking that she was really worrying, he wasn't in a hurry, so why should he meddle in his own business.After putting the documents on the table, he picked up the fruit wine on the table and took a small sip.

It has a mellow taste and a sweet taste. This is a well-known fine wine from Nanchu. It is not strong and has a sweet taste. It tastes like Cheng Xiao's self-brewed fruit wine.

The boat was quiet, and Chu Li leaned on the couch, as if he was about to fall asleep.In the past few days, he was indeed tired. After hearing that Qingxia was in Qin Ling in the desert, he traveled day and night. After traveling for more than half a month, he arrived in five days. Five horses ran to death without even eyesight. Closed.After I came back today, I summoned Mingyuan Xu Quan and others, and discussed for half the night before I had time to eat something. I can't go back to the palace at this moment, I can only rest in this courtyard, it's no wonder I'm so tired.

There was a soft bang, the boat docked, the man frowned and opened his eyes, only to see Qing Xia standing at the mouth of the boat bent over, whispering something to the people outside.Chu Li sat up, Qing Xia heard the sound, turned around and said: "Are you awake? Let's sleep for a while, we will go ashore later."

Chu Li flicked his robe, stood up, said, "Let's go." Then he left the cabin.

The man walked in front, and it was useless for the servants to get on the springboard, so he jumped off.Then turning around, he naturally stretched out his hand to Qing Xia.

The distance is not very far, with Qing Xia's skill, it is enough to easily cross five such long distances.She stood at the bow of the boat, the bright yellow palace lanterns shone on her body, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, she lowered her head slightly, looked at the man's hand, then stretched out her hand, and put her palm on the the palm of his hand.

Tighten, hold, then gently pull.

Chu Li half hugged Qing Xia's waist, put her on the ground, then stretched out his slender fingers to fasten the shoulder straps of the cloak for her, his voice was slightly hoarse and low, and he said softly, "Your body is just right, don't take it anymore." cold."

It was originally a caring word, but when it came out of his mouth, it was a bit stiff and serious.As time went by, he was no longer the flirtatious prince who wandered among the flowers, and he was a little unfamiliar even to say a word of love.

The small building in the middle of the lake is still the same as it used to be, with sparse bamboo forest, fragrant orchid grass, paths paved with cobblestones, and exquisite wooden houses, Chu Li walked in front, holding Qing Xia's hand, walking slowly.

The breeze blew slowly past the ears of the two, like naughty children.It is rare for Le Song to see such a docile appearance of Qing Xia, leading the way with a lantern in front, pursing his lips and giggling while walking.

When Qing Xia saw her, she frowned slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly.She wanted to withdraw her hand from Chu Li's hand, but she couldn't do so. In annoyance, she pinched hard on his palm.
