Xie Xiang

At first, I thought Zong Zhengqing was the only one who thought this way, but after a few days, Li Wen found that many people had high hopes for Xie Wen, hoping that he would make great achievements after returning to Beijing.

It is true that the emperor is 23, and he is not young anymore. At this age, ordinary women have already raised several children under their knees.Regardless of whether it was for public or private purposes, the ministers all looked forward to the emperor getting married and giving birth to a prince.

Originally Li Wen was the most anxious about the emperor's marriage, all the ministers knew about it, finally seeing the dawn, they all went to his door to discuss countermeasures with him.For a while, Tingwei's mansion was full of people, and Li Wen was really suffering and couldn't tell.At first he was reluctant to deal with it, but then more and more people came to the door, so he had no choice but to say he was sick.

When Liu Zao was in the palace, he heard that Tingwei was ill, and with a smile on his face, he said to the left and right, "Mr. is sick, and I'm worried about it. I send the medical officer to go to see the pulse. If you don't have my handwritten letter, don't disturb your recuperation."

When she was young and entering school, Fang occasionally called Li Wen Mr., but after taking office, she seldom mentioned this title.

When Zhong Changshi went to Tingwei's mansion to convey the emperor's holy wishes, he revealed His Majesty's original words in order to show his favor to Tingwei.After Li Wen heard this, he was filled with emotion, and sent Zhong Changshi away. Somehow, he remembered that year, when His Majesty worshiped him as his teacher not long ago, he was full of vigor and ambition.They have never been a simple master-student relationship. Rather than teaching knowledge, it is better to say that the emperor bestowed trust and came to surrender.

But while taking what they need, he has indeed taught His Majesty for a long time.The little emperor is smart, drawing inferences from one instance to another is as simple and natural as drinking water to her, and he is also studious, familiar with hundreds of classics.Occasionally it made him proud to have such a spiritual disciple.

At that time, he never thought that a smart child has big ideas, so she cannot be persuaded easily, and she is the emperor, so it is even more difficult to persuade her.

Li Wen leaned on his stick in the court, sighing at a clump of camellias in full bloom.Li Yan came back to see off the guests on behalf of his father, seeing his father full of sorrow, he couldn't help being concerned, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Father is full of sorrow, but it's because of your Majesty's marriage?"

Be kind and decent to outsiders, so you don't have to be nice to your son.Li Wen held back for many days, and when he saw Li Yan, he became angry, especially when he dared to mention His Majesty's marriage, Li Wen said angrily, "It's not you, you little bastard!"

Li Yan was scolded for no reason, he was dazed and wronged, but he still had to kneel down and plead guilty, "My son is unfilial and offended my father, but I still ask my father to explain why my son has done it?"

Seeing that he still looked innocent, Li Wen became even angrier, "Don't you look at what Arlene has become!"

Your Majesty dares to divulge private matters!

If she hadn't told the secret about the emperor and the prime minister, why would he be so upset? He would have happily discussed with everyone how to match the emperor and Xie Wen.

When Li Yan heard that it was because of Li Lin, she was quite ashamed. Arlene has really been shameless for the past two years.He bowed down and pleaded guilty, "My son's incompetence in teaching has disturbed my father. From now on, I will strictly discipline her and never let her bring shame to the family."

What he said, he was in front of him that day and he was not well disciplined, let alone thousands of miles away now.Li Wen snorted coldly, leaned on his staff and left.

Li Yan waited until he was gone, Fang stood up tremblingly, patted the dust on his knees, and sighed deeply, it is really difficult to be a son, my father has been so fierce recently.

Li Wen took a few days off, and returned to court after "recovering from illness", he was still pestered by others, talking about the emperor's husband, Li Wen felt that these ministers were really lingering, very annoying.

But gradually, Li Wen also became suspicious. The emperor was really kind to Xie Wen. He didn't let him beg for money and food. Every time there was a battle report, he paid more attention to Xie Wen's army, and would praise Xie Wen even for a small victory.This made Li Wen suspicious, maybe His Majesty really moved his mind.

He was very happy, and thought about waiting for Xie Wen to return to the capital to see the situation. If His Majesty was still so kind, he would take advantage of the situation to gather all the officials and ask Xie Wen to be the central palace.

There are not a few ministers who have such thoughts, and of course there are some who are jealous. Once Xie Wen becomes the emperor's husband, Xie's family will become foreign relatives, which will become even more prominent.But the emperor is always not interested in choosing the wife of the emperor, and finally got a Xie Wen, so don't be jealous, and the important thing is to settle the matter quickly.And some ministers also thought that with a start, it will be easy to add people to the harem in the future.

Xie Wen's triumphant return will be a year later in the spring.

The Xiongnu was almost wiped out, most of Shanyu and the 24th chief were taken prisoner and sent to Chang'an for trial. Only King Zuo Xian fled into the desert with a tribe of 3000 people.The desert is full of yellow sand and boundless. If they break in rashly, whether they can get out is not a question. Even if they can survive, they will not be able to come back again.

When Xie Wen entered Beijing, catkins were flying in the city of Chang'an. After a spring rain, the catkins got wet and fell to the ground, stained with dust.The air is fresh, and the city is filled with the sweet smell of spring.

The armor of the soldiers, stained with blood and dust, seemed to be much lighter, not so heavy anymore.Xie Wen led his deputy to the palace to meet the saint. Liu Zao granted Xie Wen the title of Marquis of Fenyin, with ten thousand households in the city, worshiped him as a general of hussars, and was in charge of the defense of Chang'an.

Although Xie Wen had been crowned before leaving Beijing, he couldn't get rid of the nobility and innocence of the Xie family's children. After several years of frontier fortress storms, his innocence and childishness were washed away. There are faint fine lines, adding to his masculine demeanor.

Before he left Beijing, he had been the emperor's guard for two years, so he saw her often.After many years of wind and frost in the border city, when he suddenly returned to his hometown, Xie Wen was also quite moved when he saw the old people, so at the banquet, he held up a bottle to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and said loudly, "I am in the border town, and I often miss your majesty. May your majesty Thousands of years, eternal happiness!"

After he said this, what the emperor was still doing, all the officials somehow turned their gazes over, and Xie Wen's intuition honed from the bloody storm always felt that something was wrong.

Liu Zao was in a very good mood, and he also smiled and raised his bottle, and lazily said, "Chengqing's auspicious words."

The ministers swiped and turned their gazes to the top.Seeing His Majesty drank the wine in the bottle.

Li Wenyuan also paid attention to the emperor's conversation with Xie Wen like the officials, seeing that the emperor drank all the wine, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Xiang.

Xie Xiang occupies the first seat, and there is a golden bottle in front of her, which is full of wine, and she has not taken a sip since she entered the table.Li Wen sighed lightly.

"Qing is now a Marquis, with tens of thousands of households in the city, which can be compared with Cheng." On the throne, Liu Zao suddenly said.

Xie Men is prominent, and his aunt and nephew are both princes of ten thousand households, unparalleled in the world.Xie Wen has been in the military for several years, and his mind is much deeper. Hearing this, he felt uneasy. He hurriedly put down the wine bottle, trying to decline the reward, but before speaking, he looked at his aunt again as if asking for permission.Aunt didn't say anything, Xie Wen was even more uneasy. On the battlefield, he was able to assess the situation, call for money to withdraw troops, or order the pursuit. He was extremely decisive, but when he returned to Chang'an, he was happy to return to his hometown, and he never shamed the Xie family. Not long after entering the palace, he felt strange again.

The casual glances and words of the ministers seemed to be simple, detailed, and seemed to have something in their words. He was not used to it, and he couldn't handle it.

Unable to get hints from his aunt, Xie Wen had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak, but before he could utter the first word, the emperor quickly said casually, "It was three years ago that the prime minister added the feudal title last time, right? "

Xie Yi put down the ivory chopsticks and said, "Yes."

Liu Zao said, "Add food to five thousand households for the prime minister."

The ministers were in an uproar.

Now it is not the beginning of the dynasty, there are countless princes, big and small, princes, and Guannei princes, and the land is tight, and it is no longer possible to squander like the emperor Gao did in the past.Therefore, it is common to rarely add a food city, and many princes even only have an empty name, and they don't even have a food city.

Xie Wen was named Marquis, it's nothing more than ten thousand households in the city, he has indeed made great achievements.But the prime minister has been in the court well and has not made great achievements. Why did he suddenly add food to the city? One increase is five thousand households.

Xie Yi raised her head, with disapproval in her eyes.Liu Zao pursed his lips, stared at her stubbornly, and continued, "In the past few years, the frontier army has fought bloody battles, expelling Hunu and frontier soldiers for my big man, and they have made great contributions. But in the court, the lords are not idle , the prime minister is especially hardworking, and I still feel that it is not enough for me to pay my love with just five thousand food."

The words have come to this point, even if the ministers want to object, they can't open their mouths.

Xie Yi looked helpless, and stood up to thank Jun En.

When it came time for the banquet, Liu Zao drank drunkenly, all the ministers had retreated outside the hall, only Xie Yi and Xie Wen were still in the hall.She stood up, walked into the hall, passed Xie Wen's sleeve with her footsteps in a nonchalant manner, grabbed his wrist, and said to him, "Tomorrow, you will introduce all the heroes for me."

Xie Wen was afraid that she would step on the ground and fall, so he hurriedly supported her and said, "No."

Liu Zao had a point of strength, his feet softened, and he almost fell on Xie Wen. Xie Wen subconsciously wanted to hold the emperor's shoulders, but before he even touched the emperor's robe, the emperor was grabbed by one person.

Liu Zao opened his eyes, looked at Xie Yi, smiled, leaned on her shoulder, and closed his eyes.

Xie Yi embraced Liu Zao, and said to Xie Wen, "Go and wait for me outside the palace."

Xie Wen didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, both my aunt and His Majesty were women. Although they were somewhat ambiguous, it was hard to think about it.He saluted the two of them and said goodbye.

Seeing this, Hu Ao hurriedly sent his attendants to retreat too.Not long after, there were only the two of them left in the hall, messing with the rest of the hall.

Xie Yi remembered that Gong'e brought a cup of honey water just now, she touched the back of Liu Zao's neck, and called out warmly, "Your Majesty."

Liu Zao leaned on her shoulder, nodded, and agreed with a little nasal voice, "Yeah."

Xie Yi supported her, returned to the throne, and asked her to sit down.But Liu Zao refused and insisted on hanging on her body.Xie Yi didn't force her, she held her with one arm, and picked up the honey water from the imperial table with the other, and dipped her lips first, and then fed it to Liu Zao when she saw that she was still warm.

What she fed was Liu Zao's favorite, and he drank it down one mouthful at a time, until the cup was empty.Xie Yi put down the jade lamp and asked, "Is it better?"

Liu Zao nodded, looked at her and smiled again.

She was really very happy today, and the ministers thought that it was because of Xie Wen's triumphant return and the great Han's national prestige, that the Xiongnu would not be able to make a comeback for a hundred years.Only Xie Yi knew that she was happy because Xie Wen came back, and all the military power in Chang'an was handed over to Xie Wen, which was equivalent to being handed over to the Prime Minister. After a big victory, her majesty became even stronger.Since then, no one in the world can shake her power.

Everything that needs to be prepared is ready.

Xie Yi was also very happy, she looked at Liu Zao intently, and gently stroked her eyebrows.Liu Zao raised the corners of her lips in attachment, and she spoke, "Love Phase" in a rustling voice.

Just now when she uttered these two words in front of others, Xie Yi's heart was already warmed up. Now it's just the two of them, calling her like that again, it's a different style, Xie Yi lowered his eyes, his face was stained with crimson .

Liu Zao stretched out his hand and raised her chin, with unresolved affection in his eyes, he said again, "Beloved wife."
