In Li Qingnian, on the third day of October, envoys Zhang Ming and Dai Peiguan from the Dali Dynasty arrived in the besieged city.That night, he gathered with the envoys of the enemy country to start peace talks.

Xiao Lue and Song Wen hurriedly bid farewell to the county magistrate of the impoverished city, and immediately set off for Beijing.

In the year of Li Qing, on October [-]th, Zhang Ming sent a fast horse to send the detailed rules of the peace talks to the capital, one of which was eye-catching: the enemy country promised not to invade the territory of the Dali Dynasty during the lifetime of Song Wen and Xiao Lue!

It was day and night, and the emperor's palace was lit all night.The next day, the emperor went to the queen mother's palace.

In Li Qingnian, on the seventh day of November, Xiao Lue, Song Wen and Gou Tou, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah Mian returned to the capital with a group of six.The besieged city is still wearing thin clothes, but the capital city is already covered with snow, and the carriage ruts are crushed on the snow-covered road, creaking.

The carriage first arrived at the Chang'an County Yamen, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Song Wen shrank his neck from the wind and snow in the capital, rubbed hands with Ah Mian, and trotted all the way into the Yamen without looking back.

Xiao Lue raised his hand to call for someone to continue talking: "..."

Goutou felt his eyes hurt, so he usually wouldn't go up at this moment, but just now the general's mansion sent a message, so he could only bite the bullet and go over: "General, the people in the mansion said that you are too late."

Xiao Lue's face turned cold all of a sudden, colder than the wind and snow outside: "Go back."

The curtain of the carriage came down, Xiao Lue sat with a gloomy face, they just entered the city, and they were already waiting at the mansion, which meant that they had been watching their tracks for a long time, they would have left the palace before entering the city.

Gou Tou was impatient to see the Queen Mother, and rode a horse slowly on the street, followed by a slow carriage.

It was snowing in the capital and it was very cold.There were only a few people walking outside, but when they saw Gou Tou, they all turned around and ran away, Gou Tou, Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other, not knowing why.

After a while, those few chased them again against the wind and snow, and threw something into the carriage without knowing what they were holding.Gou Tou, Ah Da, and Ah Er were frightened to death, and quickly got off their horses to block them, making the people smash their hearts full of cakes?Three tall and burly men crowded at the door of the carriage curtain, their faces blank.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lue poked his head out and asked.

Some people among the people said: "General Xiao's triumphant return was also very quiet. It was too... We didn't prepare for a while, so we went back and brought some cakes from the county. General Xiao must try it! This is our heart .”

"Yes, yes." The rest of the people nodded.

There are still things that I haven't lost just now, and I hurried forward, revealing the things in my arms, but they are green leafy vegetables.

In such a snowstorm, the common people do not have Zhuangzi to grow, and green leafy vegetables are extremely rare and expensive.It looked a bit awkward, it seemed that it was stored in the cellar earlier, but when it was given to Xiao Lue, it was specially sprinkled with water to make it look fresher, so that Feng Xue would eat it like this, and it would directly become A layer of frost was wrapped around the outside.

Xiao slightly moved his throat and said: "...you take it back and eat it yourself. The General's Mansion does not lack these."

The people did not agree: "It's a wish, how can I take it back. There is nothing good in the house, so don't dislike it, general."

"Do not……"

Before Xiao Lue could finish speaking, the people ran away with a whimper, and they could still hear the discussion in the wind and snow from a distance: "General Xiao is back, and Lord Song is sure to be back too. I still have some at home, I will send them to the yamen Mr. Song is poor, please send more."

"I have them at home too, and I'll send them too."

"Me too……"

Gou Tou hugged the pastry in his arms, looked sideways at Xiao Lue who was holding green leafy vegetables, and was quite moved: "General..."

They were afraid that the people in the impoverished city would send them off, so they deliberately left quietly in the dark, without telling anyone except the county magistrate of the impoverished city.Because he was recalled alone, he returned to the capital quietly, but unexpectedly, he was given a gift by the people halfway.

"Go back to the house." Xiao Lue did not pass the food in his arms to Gou Tou and the others, but solemnly put it in the carriage, and put it beside him, and he stared at him all the way.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

The Empress Dowager came out to meet Xiao Lue when she heard the wind, and when she saw Xiao Lue getting off the carriage, she muttered "Poor thing, you're all skinny" and was about to step forward to hug her, but she told Xiao Lue to turn sideways and avoid it.

The outstretched hand of the queen mother froze in the middle of the road.

Xiao Lue turned back again, revealing the dish in his arms: "It will be crushed."

The queen mother naturally withdrew her hand: "Why are you still holding the vegetables? What do the servants do?!" She turned her eyebrows coldly at Gou Tou and the others, and then changed her face when she looked back, and said very kindly, "Does this dish look good?" It's fresh, your house probably didn't buy it, I'll ask the palace to send some over."

"No need." Xiao Lue refused, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I met a few commoners on the road who gave it to me. They said it was a wish, congratulations on my triumphant return."

The complexion of the queen mother is a bit unnatural.

Xiao Lue went to the besieged city this time to win without a fight, and also facilitated peace talks with the enemy country. With such a great contribution, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to go out of the city to greet him when he returned to the capital, but he came back in such a "sneaky" way... …

The Empress Dowager said: "The emperor has been so busy with the peace talks recently that he has not slept well for several days. I feel really distressed when I see it, and let the imperial doctor follow me to serve at any time. It is also because the servants are not happy, otherwise the emperor will come to welcome you .”

Holding the vegetables, Xiao Lue just stood in the wind and snow without saying a word, just lowered his eyebrows pleasingly, looking like a child being reprimanded.

There are also many common people living here in the General's Mansion, passing by occasionally, looking at this place all the time.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lue's hand, and the wind under her feet led the people into the mansion, and made them sit down. Instead, she greeted the servants to serve tea and charcoal basins, and only then did they enter the topic.

"This enemy country has peace talks with our Dali Dynasty. Will there be no war in the future?"

Xiao slightly nodded: "Yes."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "That's very good, you can stay in the capital, and you don't have to go as far as the besieged city. The sword has no eyes in the battle. If you go, the emperor and I will always be worried. One, this tells me how to explain to your father."

Xiao Lue said: "Father is no longer a descendant of the royal family, and the empress dowager is the empress dowager, what can I say?"

The Empress Dowager Liu Mei stared and blamed: "What are you talking about. Even if your father is not a prince, he was born to me, he is my son. You are his only blood. If he is gone, I will naturally take care of you."

Xiao Lue took the teacup and sipped it, but didn't speak.

It doesn't matter, the queen mother continued: "Fortunately, the peace talks are over. If you stay in the capital in the future, I can also meet girls for you, get married and have children as soon as possible, and have a harmonious family. In the future, you can also bring your family into the palace to spend more time with me .”

Xiao Lue still didn't speak, just drinking tea.

The queen mother paused, sighed and said, "Lueer, don't blame the emperor. He is the emperor, and he is too close to you. The court ministers have something to say. The affairs of the court are already very heavy, and it is really rare for him to take care of them. My Majesty and I also always feel that you are old, you are a great general again, and you have the gold medal to protect you from the death of the late emperor, you can walk sideways in this capital, so you don’t need to take care of it too much, so as not to annoy you.”

"Do you remember Jiahe?" the queen mother suddenly asked.

Xiao Lue put down his teacup, looked at the queen mother, a little unbelievable that the queen mother mentioned Princess Jiahe at this moment.About her hanging herself, Gou Tou told Xiao Lue when he arrived in the trapped city.Her death was caused by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother even mentioned Princess Jiahe? !

The Empress Dowager was not looking at Xiao Lue, and recalled: "Jiahe has a very strong idea, if you say a few more words about her, she will make a fuss..."

She stopped suddenly, maybe because she remembered that she was gone, so she didn't continue to mention it.Looking back at Xiao Lue again, he said, "When I came back, I just thought that Jiahe was gone, and there were fewer and fewer people in the palace. I only wanted a family and a beautiful one. You have returned to Beijing, and you will not fight in the future. Now, you might as well take the initiative to hand over the military talisman to leave a good reputation for you and the emperor. Don't let the people of the world read our royal jokes again."

Ah!

Xiao Lue sat on the golden horse with a big knife, and said softly, "Does the Empress Dowager know why the late emperor refused to see you before his death, insisted on seeing me alone, and gave me the gold medal to save me from death?"

When mentioning the empress dowager's heart knot, her face turned dark all of a sudden.If it was normal, he would have left long ago.But today she came here for the soldier talisman, and she is still sitting upright with a sullen face.

Xiao Lue laughed and said: "Because there is no gold medal for avoiding death given by the first emperor before his death, once I return to Beijing, how can I have the opportunity to have the Queen Mother come to persuade me to take the initiative to hand in the soldier talisman. I am afraid that I have directly ordered me to return the soldier talisman That’s it! It’s also the gold medal given by the late Emperor Shengming before his death, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor can’t bear the name of ignoring the late emperor’s last wish, so treat each other well!”

"Otherwise, if my head is on the battlefield, the enemy won't be able to cut it off. When I return to Beijing, I won't be able to tell!"

The queen mother was furious and said: "Xiao Lue! If it weren't for Gu Nian, you are the prince's son, so why bother to tell you more, the emperor directly ordered you to hand in the military talisman, and you can still follow the prince's rebellion, can't you not give it?!"

It is rare to have a smile on weekdays, but today Xiao Lue was smiling all the time, now he still smiled and said: "Didn't the Empress Dowager just say that, because the Emperor wants a good reputation!"

"you!"

The queen mother walked away angrily.

Xiao Lue got up and looked at the Empress Dowager who was walking in the snow full of anger, perhaps she was so angry that the footprints on the snow looked a bit deep.He said loudly: "I dare to ask, has the Empress Dowager never thought about how to explain the matter of Princess Jia and the late Emperor to the late Emperor?"

The Empress Dowager gave a serious pause, turned to look at Xiao Lue, with a stern look on her face: "Jiahe sacrificed himself for the Dali Dynasty's country and people's safety, and he deservedly died. The Dali Dynasty ancestors all saw it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, with momentum like a rainbow!

Xiao Lue stared at the thick and noble color in the snow, which was gradually covered by the wind and snow, leaving no trace of color.He took a deep breath and told Gou Tou: "Send the soldier talisman to the palace."

"Yes." Goutou respectfully left.

The soldier talisman was already on him, because it could not be placed in Xiao Lue's hands, so if the queen mother hadn't come out to the general's mansion, Goutou returned to the general's mansion, and immediately entered the palace to send the soldier talisman, maybe the soldier talisman would have been in the hands of the emperor long ago up.

And if the Empress Dowager didn't mention Jia and the princess, Xiao Lue wouldn't utter bad words and just poke the knife in the Empress Dowager's heart.

Goutou touched the soldier talisman, felt that it was really hot, this time it was healed, and he fell out with the palace just after returning to the capital, this life is really more dangerous than fighting in a besieged city!

Thinking in this way, before he left the mansion, he hurriedly asked Ah Wu, who had come back secretly, to send more people to watch the general's mansion, so that nothing would go wrong.After thinking about it, he asked him to send a few people to guard the yamen, but the one in the yamen... oh, no, this one in the house is Mrs. Song!
