Han Zigao

ps:. . . . . . . .

For a long time after that, the emperor stopped talking to him about Hou Andu, and Han Zigao rode his horse every night to visit Hou Andu's mansion in private. Shengge, plus November is almost the end of the year, and he is even more crowded.

He asked Xiao Mahe again, and he said that he had already said everything he needed to say, but it was a pity that Da Sikong would not listen.

Han Zigao didn't understand why Hou Andu liked the feeling of being flattered and courted so much?

He doesn't know that this kind of addictive person is like an official. When he is on stage, he is treated every day, and he is surrounded by a group of people who beg him to do things to toast and flatter him. At first, he still feels Some are reserved and embarrassed, but after a long time, he will get carried away, which is almost a characteristic of [-]% officials, and once he steps down, he will start to miss this feeling, and when it is serious, he will be very psychologically unbalanced.

In fact, many things are like this. A person who always does bad things will still feel guilty at the beginning, and he will find some reasons to excuse himself, but as time goes by, he will start to know that those reasons that he is "looking for" reasons gradually The earth will enter his brain, and he will feel that this is the truth.

Then, if he does something bad again, he will feel that it is justified, and even the initial sense of guilt will be lost.

Hou Andu was like this, he couldn't stop at all.

Moreover, because Emperor Zhou Di didn't send him there this time, Hou An felt more or less unbalanced. The most important thing is that some people with bad intentions started to provoke him, not to mention that he had sat on the dragon chair, and those with evil intentions It started to be similar to "Da Sikong has worked hard and made great achievements, and the emperor is also thanks to Da Sikong for his protection"; "The emperor's favor for Da Sikong is unprecedented and unprecedented"; "Don't say that you have sat on the dragon chair once. "" and other similar words made him more and more arrogant without knowing how to restrain himself.

But Xiao Mahe and Han Zigao were worried about him.But there was nothing they could do, the two of them just drank their sorrows away, Xiao Mahe told him that he didn't go to Da Sikong's mansion very often: "It's just that the general has helped me, so I feel very uneasy." Zigao said.

Han Zigao couldn't help it, he also told Xiao Mahe about Hou Andu's request to set up a monument for him, saying: "It seems that he is not satisfied with the respect of us living people, and needs the respect of future generations. But I I find it strange that people who are not dead usually want to set up monuments? Why do you prepare these when you are alive? Brother Xiao. Do you think this is unlucky?"

Xiao Mohe said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, I can't persuade the general, and I plan to apply for a transfer next year. I really feel uncomfortable, and I don't want to see anything happen."

Han Zigao said sadly: "All my good friends have been transferred out. If you leave, I will not even have someone to talk to."

end of november.That night, Chen Qian held Zigao's hand and said, "Aman. Do you still remember the temple where we got married?"

"of course I remember."

"I originally made a wish to build a golden Buddha statue for Master Daomi. Since I became the throne, although I have allocated money to go to the temple, I have never had time to go. I think the two of us will go to visit the old master together tomorrow. Make a vow and make a new promise. By the way, donate more incense money to the temple.”

On the second day, Chen Qian and Zigao came to the temple again, since Chen Qian became the emperor.Chen Guo's weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.Chen Qian made a series of self-cultivation and development of agriculture.Since the reduction of taxes and the promotion of saving, the life of the people of Chen State has become much better.Han Zigao found that the temple seemed to be much more magnificent than before.

A middle-aged mage led the monks to kneel down to meet the emperor. Chen Qian came in and asked, "Where is mage Daomi?"

The abbot in the middle replied: "The old abbot passed away four years ago."

"Huh? Four years ago? When?"

"The tenth day of the fifth lunar month." Chen Qian and Zi Gao looked at each other, sad in their hearts. The old mage once said that he had betrayed God's will, and his life would not last long. Unexpectedly, he presided over the wedding for them and passed away not long after. The two couldn't help feeling sad .

After a long time, Chen Qian said: "Back then I made a wish to cast a golden body for the mage, and today I am here to fulfill the wish."

The new abbot said: "Before the master left, he predicted that the emperor would come this year to fulfill his vows, and said that the emperor should not cast a golden body for him, and that the emperor should take care of the dragon body, and don't trust anyone except the emperor's lover. "

Chen Qian said sadly: "Thank you, mage, for reminding me!"

The two stood up again, came to the big Buddha where they got married that day, knelt down and prayed: "Disciple Chen Qian Chen Zihua/Han Zigao got married here four years ago, and they have always been loving and affectionate. My disciple has nothing to ask for in this life. Wishing to never be separated from Zigao/Zihuasheng life after life."

The two kowtowed devoutly and stood up.After offering incense devoutly, Chen Qian still decreed to build a golden statue for the mage, and a golden statue for the great Buddha.

Finally, the two stayed for about an hour and returned.

When they came back in the evening, the two were still a little sad, mainly because Master Daomi's passing away made them feel a little uncomfortable, and Han Zigao thought that the master said that Chen Qian would not live long, and now he was 40 years old, so he couldn't help panicking.

And Hua Jiao and Luo Ya, my good friends when I was married to him back then, were all transferred out to be governors, and we can no longer get together often, Zhou Cheng has died, and I really feel a great pain in my heart.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Qian ordered Shen Miaorong to bring Zong Er and Mao Er to have dinner together.In order to make it more lively, Wang (Jiang) and Concubine Kong also brought their two children together. These children are relatively happy in personality. After making trouble, Han Zigao felt a little better.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was December [-]th, and Chen Qian said to Han Zigao at night: "I'm afraid Hou Andu is really rebellious!"

Han Zigao asked, "How do you know?"

"Today, I got a memorial from Cai Jingli, the person from Zhongshushe, saying that Hou Andu sent his fellow Zhou Hongshi to investigate the affairs of the palace on the tenth day of last month, so I think he has rebellious intentions."

Han Zigao thought for a while and said, "Just this incident, doesn't it prove that he has rebellion?"

"Aman. You don't think the affairs of the palace are any secrets, but for the minister, these are all secrets that he should not be involved at all. He sent people to inquire about the forbidden affairs of the palace. What is he doing?"

Han Zigao said: "Qian'er, I already have thirty thousand soldiers, although he has many. If it is in Jiankang City, he will not be able to cause any chaos, and his soldiers may not really follow him. .”

"Aman, do you think Xiao Mahe will follow him if he rebels?"

"No! This is absolutely impossible!" Han Zigao was extremely firm.

"Aman, the safety of the capital is very important. Today, Huajiao, Luo Ya, and Zhang Zhaoda are all transferred to serve as governors. Besides, they all followed my brother and Wu Mingche to discuss Zhou Di. He is stationed in Jingkou, which is very close to Jiankang. If he At this time, it is very dangerous to reverse. Xiao Mahe is his old general. He has the kindness to him, although he will not follow him to make trouble. But it is also possible that the two will not help each other. Didn’t you say that he often secretly returns to Jiankang? ? I see that New Year’s Eve is approaching, so I’ll go down to stabilize him first. Let him return to the capital at the end of the year for a briefing.

Although Han Zigao was still sore in his heart, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay!"

The two planned carefully, and Zigao helped him take a bath and fell asleep without mentioning it.

Sure enough, a few days later, Chen Qian ordered Hou Andu to come to celebrate New Year's Eve, saying that Jun Sichen would come and have fun together.

A few days later, Hou Andu reported that he had returned to Jiankang.

Chen Qian then arranged for all the ministers to hold a banquet in the main hall on New Year's Eve. One was to welcome Hou Sikong, and the other was to celebrate the New Year. The monarchs and ministers had fun together.

After Hou Andu arrived, he met Chen Qian, but he knelt down at this moment, and said: "The minister, Hou Andu, pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

There was a trace of unnoticed pain on Chen Qian's face, but then her face was calm, and she went down to the hall to help him up and smiled: "The general has worked hard and done a lot, and I have granted you that you don't have to salute when you see me, so why do you do this?" ? Wouldn’t it make a difference?”

Then he turned his head and told the servant: "Since the general has arrived, pass on the meal."

At this time, Emperor Wen was almost sure that Hou An had turned his back on him---wasn't he informal?Why did you do this sudden gift?

He sits in the center, Hou Andu is in the first position on the bottom left, Han Zigao is in the second position, Zhongju is in the third position, the prime minister is in the first position on the lower right, Shangshu and Dashi are on the left and right. The first-rank and second-rank officials of those civil servants.

Come up with singing and dancing, it's fun.At the dinner, Emperor Wen talked about the hardships in the early days, and later lamented the perennial wars, the hardships of the people, and the difficulty of starting a business. He still earnestly warned the court officials to save money and not waste luxury.

All the officials bowed their heads and said they obeyed the order.

However, Emperor Wen smiled and said: "During these years, Da Sikong followed me and made great contributions. He killed Wang Lin and Liu Yi, and made great achievements in battle. My dragon chair has half of Da Sikong's credit!"

Hundreds of officials did not dare to talk to them, even those officials that Hou Andu was close to usually did not dare to answer.

Although they flattered and flattered Hou Andu in front of Hou Andu, who would dare to speak up while guarding the majestic and indifferent emperor?

But those important ministers were different, they didn't like Hou Andu originally, at this time, Xie Zhe said: "The emperor is resourceful and considerate of his subordinates. Now the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it is all thanks to the emperor!"

Several other ministers also agreed, and Hou Andu was very dissatisfied.

However, Emperor Wen said with a smile: "I once said that although it is my destiny to be a great person, Duke Ming has indeed made great contributions. Come, come, all the lovers, follow me to offer a glass of wine to Da Sikong."

After hearing the emperor's words, Hou An was very happy. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" He drank the wine in one gulp.

He never said a word of humility from beginning to end, as if he really felt that Chen Qian's dragon chair was given up by him, but Chen Qian had a gentle face and smiling eyes, as if she didn't care.
