Winter has arrived, the war in the east has not yet ended, but the first year of Xiping has come to an end.
The war in the east also stopped because of this cold winter. In such a cold winter, going out to fight is extremely detrimental to the Han soldiers. All Han soldiers are elites trained by the Han Dynasty through hard work. Zhang Wen cannot waste them.
To gain victory at their expense, of course, he still strengthened his defense of the encirclement, making it impossible for Goguryeo's skirmishers to escape so easily.
After making the deployment, Zhang Wen wrote a detailed description of the war and handed it to Luoyang.
The emperor is not worried about the war in the east. With generals such as Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Huangfu Song here, Goguryeo can easily be captured. After Emperor Xiaokang's 21-year governance, today's Han Dynasty is not a small country outside the region.
What you can look up to is that in your own hands, the big man will definitely develop more rapidly!
At the beginning of the second year of Xiping, the emperor was once again at leisure.
In his mind, he also had his own plan. It was still a matter of appointment and dismissal in the DPRK. The first was Cao Cao, who was transferred from the Three Han Dynasties. Cao Cao had a huge influence on the entire situation of the Japanese country. Now the Three Han Dynasties only left Tai Shici as the official.
The captain of the Three Han Navy was really a bit inappropriate. Fortunately, Liu Bei and Tian Feng were here to help. These two were capable people, so they would not leave Tai Shici helpless.
Cao Cao can replace Zheng Xuan. This is what the emperor has long thought about. He originally wanted Cao Cao to settle in Shangshutai, replace Xing Ziang, and let Xing Ziang take the position of Situ. However, after thinking for a long time, he still felt that although Xing Ziang and Cao Cao both
They have talent, but they have not yet reached this level, not to mention they are still young. If they are allowed to take the position of the Third Duke now, wouldn't there be no rewards in the future?
After a long period of observation, he thought of another veteran minister in Situ's position.
This person is very good at writing and writing. He is a master of writing and writing in the Han Dynasty. He is also knowledgeable in everything, but he is not good at practice. However, if he were a Situ, he would not be like Wang Fu and do everything himself. Instead, he could give Xing Ziang and Xun You,
The opportunity given to people like Xun Yu and Cao Cao to do things allowed them to grow up quickly and become one of the pillars of the Han Dynasty in the future.
As for the Japanese country, the emperor decided not to make hasty decisions yet.
After all, after conquering Goguryeo, the Han Dynasty's primary goal must be on Goguryeo. It must first complete the governance of Goguryeo and completely connect Hezhou, Youzhou, Sanhan, and Dongyi. After completing this strategic step, the Han Dynasty
Only in this way can we free up our hands to solve the affairs of the Japanese country. What's more, in these years, the students who were not taken seriously in the Japanese country have been continuously transported to the Dongyi area, and Dongyi has been greatly improved in the hands of Liu Bei.
These Japanese students are the best help for the Dongyue area, which lacks manpower.
February of the second year of Xiping
The whole city is covered with snow, and the cold wind is constantly whistling by. Luoyang City is completely empty.
Imperial Palace, Yongle Palace
The imperial grandmother sat alone on the bed. The maids thought she was asleep, so they guarded the door.
The imperial grandmother is very old, with gray hair, dull eyes, and wrinkles on her face. She cannot look like the noble lady she used to be. Since the death of Emperor Xiaokang, she has been crying all day long, so much so that she has become blind.
, I can no longer see anything, and now I can only explore around.
She stretched out her hand, the back of her hand was all around, and was extremely thin. She groped carefully under the pillow, and fumbled out a package from under the pillow. Her hands kept groping, looking for something.
The door was slowly pushed open, and a golden light shot in from the outside.
A petite and cute baby crawled in from outside the door. He was very young, but very cute. His face was chubby. He hummed something unknown and crawled towards the Empress Dowager Dong.
The Queen Mother saw it!
The baby raised his head, looked at her, and smiled crazily.
The Empress Dowager recognized the familiar eyes, her eyes were moist, she smiled, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand.
The baby disappeared in an instant, and the Empress Dowager was shocked and quickly got up.
In that position, another fat boy of three or four years old appeared. The fat boy was walking unsteadily, combing his hair and holding his favorite toy in his hand, which was a copper stick with a wooden ball tied to it.
, he shook the toy in his hand, looked at his mother in front of him, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Mom!"
"Hong'er~"
In an instant, the little fat man disappeared, and the Empress Dowager anxiously shouted: "Hong'er"
The ten-year-old fat man appeared in front of the Queen Mother Taihuang, with a round figure and a wooden sword in his hand. He looked sad and wiped his tears and said: "Mom, I was chased by a big dog again. I want this sword."
Can’t use it”
"Don't be afraid, Hong'er. Don't be afraid if Mom is here."
"Mom~"
The little fat man shouted and rushed towards Mr. Dong.
The moment Mrs. Dong hugged him, he disappeared into Mrs. Dong's arms, leaving only a little golden light. Dong's eyes were still dark and she could not see anything. She was holding a small wooden sword in her hand.
, next to it was an opened package. The wooden sword looked to be old. On the hilt of the sword, there was a small word " macro " engraved on it. Ms. Dong was trembling and hugging the wooden sword tightly.
"My Hong'er"
Mrs. Dong cried loudly.
In the package next to it, you can also see a small toy with a wooden ball tied to it, and a baby's clothing.
At noon, the emperor was free, so he wanted to hold a family banquet. The emperor's grandmother, the queen mother, Mrs. Wang, Xiao Raoyang, Liu Xie, Liu An, and Miss Cai all gathered together. The emperor was in a good mood, and kept talking to the queen mother and the emperor.
Grandma was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good. Even little Rao Yang was extremely happy, sitting in the emperor's arms and refusing to get down. Liu Xie and Liu An were quite well-behaved.
Sitting next to the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother was particularly doting on them.
With a gentle smile, everyone enjoyed the delicacies on the table
The Queen Mother brought some food to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother took a small bite, laughed, touched the Emperor's hand and said, "Bian'er, this is mutton. Take a quick bite of your favorite food."
The emperor was stunned and wanted to speak, but there was no words. He hummed, picked it up and ate it, saying: "It's really delicious." Empress Song was also stunned for a moment and lowered her head. She knew that the emperor did not like to eat mutton.
The emperor likes beef. When he was young, he and Xun Yu went to steal the beef for sacrifices and were beaten by Emperor Xiaokang. The one who really loved mutton was Emperor Xiaokang.
Halfway through the banquet, Ms. Dong remembered something and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and help me back. I have something to show Bian'er."
"Mother, you'd better watch it after you finish eating," the emperor said helplessly.
"No, you have to help me back now."
Seeing that she was so anxious, the emperor had no choice but to order the palace maid to take her to Yongle Palace. Snowflakes were still falling outside, white and cold. The palace maid shielded Dong from the snowflakes and sent her into the palace under the cold wind.
After arriving at Yongle Palace, Mrs. Dong waved her hand and said, "Wait for me outside." She slowly came to the bed and groped under the pillow tremblingly.
She took out the package again, paused for a moment, and opened it gently.
When she picked up the wooden sword, her hands trembled violently. The wooden sword fell under the bed. She was shocked. She quickly got off the bed and groped with her hands on the ground. After groping for a long time, she couldn't find it. Her eyes were filled with tears.
With tears streaming down his face, he was shaken and fell to the ground.
The wooden sword was right next to her right hand, and the fingers of her hands were still trembling. However, such a close distance was beyond her reach due to her blindness.
The cold wind was blowing violently. The windows of Yongle Palace could not bear the heavy load and were blown open by the cold wind. For some reason, after this gust of wind blew into Yongning Palace, it became gentle. The wind blew across Dong's cheeks and dispersed the...
Dropping tears.
The wooden sword swayed slightly, and there was another gust of wind. The wooden sword was blown by the wind, turned over several times, and fell quietly into Dong's hand.
Dong held the wooden sword tightly in his right hand and slowly became quiet.
In another world, a grieving mother hugged her child tightly.
This time, they will never be separated again.
The little fat man waited at the banquet for a long time, but did not see his eldest mother coming. He felt a little helpless. The Queen Mother of Song Dynasty smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. I am afraid that the palace maid dare not urge my mother. My mother is acting inappropriately now."
Too neat”
"I know." He frowned, looked at Liu Xie beside him, and said, "Erlang, go see the eldest mother. If she can't handle something, go and help her."
"Okay!" Liu Xie stood up and ran towards Yongle Palace.
“Don’t rush me!!”
The emperor shouted from behind.
Looking at Liu Xie running out all the way, the emperor looked at the Queen Mother Song and said, "Is it okay for Erlang to go to school recently? I heard that he doesn't like to go to school recently?"
"Oh, yes, you have to talk about him later. For some reason, recently, he always likes to dance with swords and guns, and even pesters Wang Zhonglang to teach him swordsmanship."
"Hahaha~" The emperor laughed and said, "My father's seed, why is it so strange?"
After waiting for a long time, Liu Xie was not seen. The little fat man frowned.
Liu Xie came to the door of Yongle Palace. He looked at the palace maid at the door, shivering a little due to the cold wind. He asked, "Hasn't the eldest mother come out yet?" The palace maid shook her head and said, "Not yet." Liu Xie waved
He waved his hand and said: "Open the door."
The palace maid did not dare to object and quickly opened the door. Liu Xie walked in. When he saw Mr. Dong lying on the ground, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Here comes someone!!", and he ran away quickly.
In front of Mr. Dong, the window on the side was open, and the cold wind was still blowing. He didn't realize it. He looked at the grandmother in front of him blankly, tears fell down, and he ran away immediately.
Liu Xie rushed into the banquet, crying with tears in his eyes.
The little fat man looked at him blankly, only seeing what he said, but not hearing any words at all. The whole world seemed to have stopped. The Empress Dowager Song and Mrs. Wang burst into tears, and Miss Cai was at a loss.
, Liu An also cried loudly, they were talking, little Raoyang shrank in the Empress Dowager Song's arms in fear, the little fat man was still sluggish, he could not hear any words.
At that moment, the little fat man jumped up and ran towards Yongle Palace.
The Queen Mother Song and the others were frightened and quickly followed the little fat man.
The little fat man ran towards Yongle Palace with all his strength. After running out of Houde Hall, his feet slipped and he fell violently. The yellow gates around him rushed over in fear, trying to help the emperor up, but the little fat man ignored him and got up again.
He continued to run wildly, and when he rushed all the way to Yongle Palace, the maids were kneeling on the ground crying. He rushed into Yongle Palace and looked over blankly.
The imperial grandmother lay quietly on the ground, burying her head in her left arm and sleeping peacefully.
The little fat man rushed to the imperial grandmother and knelt down hard on his knees.
"ah"
When the Empress Dowager Song walked to the door, she heard the roar of grief.
Huangmen supported them and walked into the Yongle Palace. The little fat man hugged Mrs. Dong and cried loudly, with tears dripping from his eyes. Mrs. Dong just lay quietly in her grandson's arms, holding the wood tightly in her right hand.
Jian, with a kind face, the little fat man cried for an entire hour, until he lost his voice, his eyes turned red, and the Han family began to prepare for mourning.
Undoubtedly, in this palace, Mrs. Dong loves the little fat boy the most. I don’t know how many times, Mrs. Dong pointed at Emperor Xiaokang and cursed, but she also wanted to protect this naughty eldest grandson. I don’t know how many times, Mrs. Dong always secretly hid the child.
Even Liu Xie, Liu An, and even little Raoyang did not receive such treatment. Whenever the little fat man was beaten up, he would come to his grandmother.
Grandma would caress his back and coax him to sleep, stroking him all night long. It seemed that her hands never felt tired.
Now, she is gone, He Yeye is gone, my father is gone, and my eldest mother is gone.
The Huangmen brought the emperor back to Houde Palace. The little fat man was lying on the bed, still sobbing. The Queen Mother of Song Dynasty felt heartbroken. However, there were many things for her to deal with in the palace, so she could only keep Miss Cai here.
Being here, it made her happy to watch, and then she left. Looking at the painful little fat man, Miss Cai felt very distressed. She sat by the bed, wiping her tears.
She reached out her hand and gently stroked the little fat man's back.
The little fat man's trembling body gradually calmed down.
The next day, the little fat man opened his eyes, which were red and swollen. He sat up, but his mind was still blank for a while. Miss Cai beside him did not speak, and looked at him quietly. The little fat man turned to look at her.
After a long time, he seemed to remember something. He covered his forehead in pain and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been asleep?"
"one day"
"Yes." The little fat man nodded, looking blankly into the distance, his eyes lifeless. This look made Miss Cai even more distressed. She frowned and said with some sadness: "The whole world has mourned the Queen Mother and the Han family.
We are discussing the matter of burial."
The little fat man trembled, jumped off the bed, put on his shoes in a hurry, and ran out.
"Where is Your Majesty going?!"
"Go see the eldest mother"
