Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 698 In Zhaocheng

Luo Zhang wrote in May of the summer of the fifth year of Jian'an, and the date of meeting was September [-]th.

All the princes in the world were either on the road, or like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they had already arrived at Duke Zhao in early August.

Outside Zhaocheng.

Now that autumn has entered, the sky is high, and above the blue sky, there are patches of blue and there are no clouds in the sky.

This is the first time that Yuan and Cao have met since the last time they made a blood alliance.

Yuan Shao stepped out of the carriage. He had a majestic appearance. He was now wearing a solemn broad robe with long sleeves, which made him even more elegant. Behind him were several carriages and guarding knights.

Although Cao Cao was unattractive in appearance, he had a heroic spirit. The two people who used to steal the bride together were silent for a moment when they met each other.

With infinite emotion in his heart, Cao Cao galloped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Benchu, you are well."

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and the people behind him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and also clasped his fists and said: "Mengde, you are all right. Isn't Hongnong King Liu Xie here?"

Cao Cao did not expect that Yuan Shao would ask such a sharp question as soon as he came up. His eyes suddenly flashed sharply, and he said coldly: "Benchu, how can I call His Majesty by his first name? This is disrespectful!"

Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Yuan Shao sneered, but there was a deep chill in his voice, and rode towards Zhaocheng, "Liu Xie?
When I defeat you, I will kill Liu Xie and let the world see that a false emperor is a false emperor. "

While the two were talking, a group of knights came galloping from the west. When the dust cleared, a large flag with the word "Lü" flying high appeared.

Lu Bu, the pastor of Bingzhou, has arrived!
Yuan Shao had a smile on his face, stepped forward to greet him, and said loudly: "Fengxian!"

Lu Bu reined in the galloping horse. He was still wearing the majestic armor and cloak, riding on the divine horse with great majesty. When he saw Yuan Shao, he directly clasped his fists and laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you for a year, Lord Ben Chu. How are you?" good?"

The two chatted and joked, then gathered together and headed towards the city.

A trace of fear flashed across Cao Cao's face. His advisers had said more than once that if they wanted to compete with Yuan Shao, Bingzhou occupied by Lu Bu was the key.

In front of Zhaocheng, Luo Shu welcomed the three people into the city. Lu Bu looked left and right, very curious about the city.

Yuan Shao was familiar with Luo Shu, so he came forward to talk and whispered: "Sir, I am going to pay homage to Duke Zhao. I wonder if the queen is here?
As a minister of Emperor Xiaomin, it would be disrespectful to see the queen and not bow to her. "

Luo Shu looked at Yuan Shao meaningfully after hearing this.

If the throne is passed to a son, the first queen will naturally become the queen mother, but if the throne is passed to a younger brother, the first queen will naturally not be the queen mother.

After Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie back, the first thing he did was to pay homage to Emperor Xiaomin, and the second thing was to give the Empress of Tang the title of Empress Anping.

But now Yuan Shao doesn't use this title, nor does he use the general title of Supreme Queen, which is very subtle.

However, Luo Shu didn't care about the twists and turns, and said softly: "Father has invited Empress Tang here, and we can go together to see her later."

Since Tang Ji came to Zhaocheng, she has been living in the inner city, living a simple and fulfilling life, learning various knowledge from the Luo girls every day.

On this day, she walked along the streets of the inner city to the courtyard where she lived. As she approached, she found Luo Jin waiting in front of the door, accompanied by several pretty girls.

She hadn't seen Luo Jin for a few days, and she was so happy that she quickly picked up her skirt and trotted forward. Stopping, she stopped in front of Luo Jin, her chest rising and falling slightly, and she gasped and asked: "A Jin, A Xuan, you guys Are you waiting for me?"

Luo Jin looked at Tang Ji's fair and rosy face and smiled slightly: "Xie'er, the princes are coming to Zhao to pay their respects to you. Grandpa asked us to take you there."

Tang Ji had been studying with the high priest, so she naturally knew about Duke Zhao's invitation to the princes to come to Zhao, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Moreover, those people had to come to visit her, so she was a little nervous for a while. In Zhaocheng, she had long forgotten her identity as the empress of the Han Dynasty.

After all, that identity only brought her blood, killing, fear, cruelty and other negative emotions. What she saw and heard when she was young made her wake up from nightmares countless times.

Luo Kong's daughter Luo Xuan smiled and said: "Sister Xi'er, go take a shower and change clothes. I will dress you up myself."

Tang Ji regards Luo Kong as a father, and her relationship with Luo Kong's daughter is naturally very good, just like biological sisters.

Tang Ji was stunned. Those memories filled with blood and firelight killings began to hit her mind again. Her slightly thin body began to tremble slightly, and her pretty face that was originally slightly rosy suddenly turned pale.

Luo Jin frowned slightly, then reached out and held Tang Ji's hand. The warm hand brought Tang Ji back to her senses and looked at Luo Jin. Luo Jin smiled warmly and comforted: "Xie'er, don't be afraid. Do you still remember what I said to you last full moon night?"

Of course Tang Ji remembered that Luo Jin said that the queen's status carries responsibilities, and only by fulfilling these responsibilities can she become a free person. Now that these princes have come to Zhaocheng, she has to go to meet them. This is the queen's responsibility.

Tang Ji nodded, then walked into the courtyard with Luo Xuan, and then walked to the bathroom in the back room, while Luo Jin was waiting in the front hall.

I don't know how long it took, Luo Xuan walked out with excitement on her face, knelt down next to Luo Jin, and laughed softly: "Brother, my future sister-in-law is really beautiful, especially today, please keep an eye on her."

Facing Luo Xuan's teasing, Luo Jin didn't care. That's the way he was. He didn't change his face even when the mountain collapsed, and he was always calm and composed.

Tang Ji walked out from the side. She was wearing complicated and gorgeous palace clothes, even with a floor-length skirt. It was a gorgeous dress that belonged exclusively to the queen. Luo had long expected that this day would come, and this outfit was all made by Luo. The best tailor in the family wears exquisite hair accessories on his head, with the ends of his hair spread out and gold and jade decorations between the hairpins.

This is Tang Ji that Luo Jin has never seen before. There is a golden plaque between her eyebrows. She is like the empress who walked out of the ancient scrolls carved in Chang'an and Luoyang. She is luxurious and solemn, awe-inspiring and inviolable. She is born very Beauty, Tang Ji at this moment is not inferior to any woman in the world.

Luo Jin raised his hand and put it down, then stood up and came to Tang Ji. He was very tall, so Tang Ji had to raise her head slightly to see his face.

Luo Jin's eyes fell, but there was still a trace of nervousness visible on her face. Luo Jin said with a smile: "She is very beautiful and solemn. Such a powerful queen of Han Dynasty is worthy of being visited by princes.

Your Majesty the Queen, the carriage is here, and the foreign minister is holding your skirt, please come this way. "

Luo Jin's words relieved Tang Ji's nervousness.

Outside Tang Ji's courtyard, a dare warrior drove a carriage and parked outside, waiting for Tang Ji, Luo Jin and others.

For the Luo family, the guests who can enter the inner city are all old friends who have known each other for many years. For example, people like Anyang Marquis, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao cannot enter the inner city at all.

Between the outer city and the inner city of Zhaocheng there is a palace specially used to meet guests of higher status.

Just as not everyone is qualified to meet the emperor, the same is true for meeting Duke Zhao and the Queen. There is no problem for the three princes Yuan Shao. Naturally, the entourage brought by the three people are not allowed in. Only a few ministers around them can enter.Everyone was sitting on their knees in the hall, behind them were rows of brave warriors wearing armor and holding swords. Even Lu Bu drank tea quietly, and then quietly belittled Gongsun Zan, his defeated general, with Yuan Shao.

Luo Shu sat on the left side and chatted with a few people. Without waiting, Luo Zhang, the high priest, Luo Jin, Tang Ji and others came in soon.

Yuan Shao and Tang Ji had not seen each other for more than four years. Luo Kong had entrusted him to send Empress Tang to Zhaocheng. Now that they see each other again, it feels like they are separated from each other.

After everyone was seated, Yuan Shao and the other two stood up and dressed up, then respectfully saluted Tang Ji and said, "My ministers Yuan Shao and Lu Bu respectfully send greetings to Your Majesty the Queen, and wish Her Majesty the Queen good health and happiness."

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, respectfully greets Her Majesty Queen Anping, and wishes her Majesty Queen Anping peace and happiness."

Tang Ji's figure was almost motionless, like a statue. She opened her mouth slightly and said solemnly: "I wish you peace, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Cao, and General Lu."

With this bow, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu all recognized their identities as Han ministers, but their Han status was different.

The three of them saluted Luo Zhang again and said, "The foreign minister asks about the Grand Public Security Bureau."

Zhaogong is considered a member of the Second Kings and Three Kes, and his political status is quite high, just like the Second Kings and Three Kes of the Zhou Dynasty were one rank higher than all the princes surnamed Ji.

After Luo Zhang returned the gift, Tang Ji looked at Yuan Shao, and she naturally still remembered Yuan Shao.

When she entered Zhaocheng five years ago, there were not many men who were kind to her in her limited life. Apart from her relatives and Wushuang Hou Luokong, who was like her father, Liu Bian was the only one she was grateful for. It is Yuan Shao.

Those memories of escaping from Luoyang made Tang Ji couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yuan, how have you been these years?"

Yuan Shao didn't expect that Tang Ji would say such tender words. He originally wanted to mock Liu Xie, but when he said it, he said something else, "Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. I have been well these past few years.

Now I feel relieved to see that Her Majesty the Queen is safe in Zhaocheng, and I have lived up to the trust of Wushuang Zhongwuhou.

It's a pity that I didn't kill Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals with my own hands to avenge the unparalleled loyal Wuhou. "

Yuan Shao's words were full of regret and seemed to be talking about something that had passed away.

Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, especially because Yuan Shao specifically singled out Li Jue and Guo Si, which felt like he was singling out Liu Xie.

But in Cao Cao's view, although Liu Xie was established by Dong Zhuo.

But Liu Xie is the only orthodox member of the royal family. The other people are several generations apart in blood. In the era of family rule, blood is everything. Why should others compare with Liu Xie?
Although Cao Cao had other thoughts, he believed that he had no problem in establishing Liu Xie as emperor.

Yuan Shao was obviously a Han traitor who did not respect the imperial court, but he claimed to be a loyal minister and often used this incident to mock himself. This made Cao Cao feel very aggrieved.

Cao Cao's head got hot and he said: "Your Majesty Queen Anping.

Your Majesty misses you very much. He often misses Emperor Xiaomin and your care for him. He only sighs that he cannot be filial to you, so he still asks me to show you..."

"cough!"

Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted Cao Cao's words, and Xi Zhicai, who was behind Cao Cao, said with a blushing face: "I have violated my decency. Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Queen."

Cao Cao reacted suddenly and felt a chill coming over him. He was careless!
Yuan Shao just mentioned the Unparalleled Marquis Zhongwu Marquis Luokong, but did not mention Emperor Xiaomin. After all, he had passed away.

Empress Tang will marry into the Luo family in the future, so let the past go by. What's the point of always being limited to the past?
Yuan Shao is so scheming!
Cao Cao took a deep breath, stopped talking, and retreated to the banquet. He was a little more wary of Yuan Shao in his heart.

If Yuan Shao knew what Cao Cao was thinking, he would definitely feel that he was wronged. This has nothing to do with him.

Tang Ji didn't pay much attention, she didn't focus on it, and she didn't miss Liu Xie at all.

When Yuan Shao and others met with Empress Tang in the main hall, everyone in the side hall surrounded Yuan Shao's wife.

Because there will be a small banquet after the audience, which can be regarded as a refreshment.

Therefore, those who were not qualified to enter the main hall were waiting in the side halls, with men in one room and women in another.

One of the main purposes of Yuan Shao coming to Zhaocheng was to bring Zhen Mi to the stage. It was more appropriate to leave this matter to Mrs. Liu. Facts have proved that this is very simple.

As soon as Zhen Mi appeared in the side hall, she attracted the attention of almost all the female relatives, even such beautiful women as Cai Yan and Diao Chan.

Although she is still a little immature and has not fully discovered her charm like Diao Chan and Cai Yan, she is already incredibly beautiful even at this moment.

In more than 20 years, this was the first time Diao Chan saw a woman who could rival her in appearance.

The high priest felt a rather familiar feeling from Zhen Mi. She was the high priest of the Luo family. Among the entire Luo family, apart from Luo Zhang, she was the closest person to King Su and Luo Shen Ji Lingjun.

So she came to Mrs. Liu and asked with a smile: "How are you, madam? I am the high priest of the Luo family, and this is a young lady from your noble family."

Mrs. Liu has been able to sit on the throne of Mrs. Yuan Shao for so many years. She is naturally a good person. Moreover, she is the same type of person as Yuan Shao. She may be a bit arrogant towards other families, but she has a kind of heartfelt humility towards the Luo family. After hearing this The high priest announced his family name and immediately said with a smile: "This is the daughter of the Wuji Zhen family, and she is also the daughter of my husband and me."

The high priest understood that she was an adopted daughter, but it didn't matter, an adopted daughter was also a daughter. She lowered her head and looked at Zhen Mi with a smile and asked: "Little girl, what is your name?"

"My name is Zhen Mi, from Concubine Mi."

Concubine Mi is said to be the daughter of the ancient emperor Fuxi and the earliest god of Luoshui.

Is this God's will?

The high priest looked at Zhen Mi carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. After a long time, he slowly said: "Your girl's face is so precious!"

----

The Empress of the Tang Dynasty was from the Yingchuan family. Her ancestors lived in Sangong. Her father moved two thousand stones and had a prominent family. Emperor Ling then promoted the marriage to Prince Bian as the crown prince. When Emperor Ling died, Tang Ji took the wife of Emperor Xiaomin of Han as his empress. , the queen of the palm took the second place, the filial piety collapsed, Emperor Sheng conferred the honorary title of Queen Anping, and later moved to Zhaocheng. Duke Zhao took pity on her loneliness, and returned to the Luo family. The ruler of the country is known as Mrs. Tang from generation to generation, and all subsequent events are not recorded in this history.

Shi Chen said: The queen has returned to being the wife of the subjects. It has not been seen for three generations. However, people in the world praise her for her beauty. There are no rumors, which shows the Luo family's hope. ——"Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Queen's Chronicle"
