In September of the second year of Jianning, Jiangxia Man surrendered.
In October, Shanyue of Danyang County besieged Chen Wei, the prefect of Danyang, and Chen Wei led his troops to defeat Shanyue.
But at this moment, in Jiangxia County, Duan Yan is a little confused. He led the Southern Army to come here after a lot of hardships, and you barbarians actually surrendered? Why don't you give us a fight?
Seeing the enthusiastic expressions of many rangers underground, he really didn't know how to tell this somewhat cruel fact. The leader of the rangers also noticed the change in Duan Jue's expression. Several people came forward and gathered around in confusion. Around him, a tall and burly man with a beard frowned and asked: "General, has there been a change in the war?" Duan Jiong frowned and said with some displeasure: "Han Sheng, the war is over. Those barbarians have surrendered..."
"What?!"
These guys were extremely angry after hearing the news.
Duan Yan looked helplessly at the many soldiers below. At this time, Sun Jian suddenly stood up and laughed. Seeing Sun Jian laughing so unbridled, Duan Yan was not angry. He looked at him with interest and saw him walking away. After getting on the high platform, he looked at the many rangers below and shouted: "Brothers! Hahaha, I have something fun to tell you. Please listen carefully!" The rangers were also aroused by him and got up one after another, shouting. , Sun Jian pointed to the distance and said: "Those barbarians are not human beings. They heard that our southern army marched all night and rushed to Jiangxia! They were so frightened that they ran away and surrendered in a hurry!"
After Sun Jian finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent. The rangers looked at each other blankly and were at a loss. When Sun Jian saw the appearance of the rangers, he shouted unhappily: "Brothers, why are you not happy? That's why. An army that subdues the enemy without fighting! The Northern Army has never had such a record! Isn’t this the power of the Southern Army? It makes the enemy tremble and frighten them!"
"Hahaha, that's it!" Leaders such as Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji also laughed in response. Under their guidance, these rangers were a little relieved and looked at the Northern Army with some arrogance. After winking, Lu Zhi almost laughed at them, "Good guys, do you think this makes you proud? If our Northern Army comes, they won't even have time to surrender, and all of them will fall to the ground, which will become our meritorious service."
However, he felt in his heart that these young people were making rapid progress, especially the young man at the head, who had the aura of a general. If he could be cultivated, he might become a famous general in the future.
The Southern Army rested and reorganized with Jiangxia County, and Duan Yan did not rush them. If they were to prepare to return to Luoyang now, these people would collapse directly.
Not mentioning the time of return, he just decided to let the rangers rest for three days before making preparations.
.............................
But at this moment, Weiyang Palace was in chaos.
The little fat man was about to implement his plan, but he heard from Xiao Huangmen that Queen Mother Dou was seriously ill. The little fat man didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran barefoot in the palace and rushed to Yong'an Palace.
Queen Mother Dou was lying on the hospital bed. The maid Huang Men around her was twitching and crying. The little fat man rushed in in fear and suddenly came to the front of Queen Mother Dou. Queen Mother Dou slowly opened her eyes and saw the anxious and nervous little fat man in front of her. She squeezed out With a smile, he said softly: "Oh, it's not the right time to get sick. The emperor is worried..." The little fat man held Empress Dowager Dou's hand, turned to the imperial doctor and asked anxiously: "The empress is out. What's up?!"
The imperial doctor leaned over and said: "The Queen Mother is weak, her heart and blood are restless, her yin fire is strong and her yang..."
"Don't talk about that! Tell me! Can you cure it?"
The imperial physician's order looked at the emperor with some fear, hesitating but unable to speak. The little fat man looked at him with a ferocious face and said: "If it can't be cured, what use do I need from you?!", the imperial physician's order She trembled and said: "I can cure it, I can cure it!" Queen Mother Dou hurriedly pulled the little fat man, looked at him with some affection, and said with a smile: "Alang, don't be angry...and don't blame the imperial doctor. , you are a wise king, how can a wise king act like this?"
The little fat man shed tears and said: "If the queen mother can be well, I would rather not be a wise king."
Everyone shed tears of gratitude for the emperor's filial piety.
"It can't be like this...cough cough..." Queen Mother Dou coughed, and the little fat man held her hand. She was so thin that she was almost inhuman. She looked at the little fat man with some worry and said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Alang, there is no need to be like this. If I die, you are not allowed to blame the imperial doctor's order, and the rest of the people..." The little fat man wiped his tears and said, "Mom, don't say such words to make the child afraid, mom. You will definitely live a long life, and Japanese grandmothers don’t have to work in temples, just wait in the palace, waiting for the children to give birth to your grandchildren... You can personally raise them..."
"Hahaha..." Queen Mother Dou chuckled, looked at the little fat man with a haggard look, and said, "Oh, although you are not my biological child, you treat me like your biological mother..."
"Mother, you are the child's biological mother. I have two biological mothers. One gave birth to the child, and the other treated me like a son. She shielded me from swords and spears in the temple..."
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a few days... Don't cry... As a king, you can't lose your temper. In the past, I still wondered why the emperor preferred you. Now it seems that the emperor is still smart. , I can tell at a glance that you are a rough jade, a great man from Tianxing..." Empress Dowager Dou said with some nostalgia, and the two of them talked slowly, and Empress Dowager Dou's complexion also improved slightly.
In the next few days, the little fat man stayed with the Queen Mother Dou day and night, personally served with medicine, and did not participate in the court proceedings for many days. Instead of blaming the emperor, the ministers all admired the emperor's filial piety. How could this be done to the Queen Mother, who was not her biological mother? To be respected and loved by everyone? The little fat man also put all the plans in his mind aside and served the Queen Mother day and night without any complaints in his heart. Under the care of the little fat man, the Queen Mother gradually improved. After a few days, she could get out of bed and land on the ground. , this made the little fat man very happy, and he also rewarded the palace doctor.
When Empress Dowager Dou got better, she sent for Mr. Dong. The two talked at length in the palace for a long time. I don’t know what they said. Anyway, later when the little fat man saw that the two were as close as sisters and laughed and talked about interesting things, He was shocked. When did the two people become so close? Perhaps it was Mrs. Dong who had put down her hostility towards the seriously ill Empress Dowager Dou, or perhaps it was Empress Dowager Dou who had put aside her contempt for the ordinary Empress Dowager Dong. , the two talked very happily, and most of the time they drove the little fat man out, and the two conspired in the palace.
If he hadn't believed that these two people would not conspire to harm him, the little fat man would have let Yang Qiu into the palace!
A few days later, Empress Dowager Dou suddenly called the little fat man to enter the palace. The little fat man hurried over. The Empress Dowager sat upright, and Mrs. Dong stood beside her. The little fat man bowed to the two empress dowagers. Empress Dowager Dou Just now he was looking at the little fat man with a smile, and suddenly said: "We have something we want you to do." The little fat man nodded, sat down on his knees, and looked like he was listening.
"Song Feng was from Pingling, Fufeng. The Song Dynasty is unknown. Do you know?"
Queen Mother Dou asked with a smile. The little fat man thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "This person is the Yilang of the court. Why, why does the Queen Mother talk about this person?" Queen Mother Dou and Mr. Dong next to her looked at each other and smiled. Then he said: "Song Feng is a kind-hearted person by nature. He is a rare good person in the court. He has a daughter who is virtuous by nature and has no known wrongdoing. She is a perfect match for you. Moreover, this daughter is also suitable for you." It is highly implicated. This woman is the concubine of Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang and the queen of Queen Jingyin. Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang is your ancestor..."
The little fat man nodded blankly, he probably understood that he wanted to get himself a concubine!
