MTL - The Marquis Is Innocent-Chapter 150
Xiao Qiao slowly opened his eyes.
Wei Shao suddenly took her hand and got off the bed.
Xiao Qiao was taken to his study.
He entered and turned on the lights.
Xiao Qiao looked slightly confused. See him take out a box from a secret drawer.
It was the one she knew so well, she had just seen it a few nights ago.
Wei Shao held the box and placed it on the table, sat behind him, skillfully opened the box cover, and motioned for Xiao Qiao to approach.
Xiao Qiao walked over slowly.
Inside, it was indeed the old flag she had seen outside the door that night.
Folded neatly and placed in the box.
"Manman, didn't you always want to know what was in this box? It was my father's flag. The blood on it was stained by my father before he died. This relic, I have kept for many years. collect…"
Wei Shao's eyes stayed on the old banner, and he spoke slowly.
Xiao Qiao held her breath, slowly raised her eyes, and looked at Wei Shao.
His eyes are distant and empty, as if caught in the memory of the past.
"At that time, my father and your grandfather were ordered by the imperial court to attack Li Su together. Li Su was very powerful. The two sides made an oath before the war and agreed to attack from the east and the west at the same time. My father believed in your grandfather, so he was completely Deploy troops according to the method of support. When the appointed time comes, after my father dispatches troops as planned, he still believes that your grandfather will be in place as promised..."
His eyes fell on Xiao Qiao's face, his hands slowly clenched into fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands gradually protruded.
"My enemy who killed my father and killed my brother was Li Su. Your Qiao family is just breaking their promises and breaking the contract. There is no righteous battle, and you will die if you lose the enemy. With the news of his withdrawal before the war, my father temporarily changed his battle strategy. Even if he still loses in the end, he may not be defeated as badly as that day! The Wanwei family sergeant was almost wiped out, and the last ones who came back were only a few thousand remnants."
He closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Manman, put yourself in your shoes, be a son, if it were you, wouldn't you be indifferent?"
He was word for word.
Xiao Qiao walked towards him slowly, knelt on the side where he was sitting, took his hand, and muttered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry—"
Wei Shao's fist, which was clenched tightly, slowly loosened.
"It's none of your business, you don't need to apologize."
He was silent for a moment.
"Manman, I don't want to hide it from you, I know that it has nothing to do with your father, but to this day, I still can't get rid of the hatred for your surname Qiao. Even if that day I asked Wei Liang to go to Yanzhou in your name to be your father Sending congratulations, what I thought most at the time was also to make you happy..."
"The culprit in the incident, your grandfather was already dead. I guessed that my grandmother should have seen that I was aggressive and obsessed, and hoped that I would be a broad-minded person. It happened that your Qiao family sought marriage through marriage. , This is the promise of the original marriage."
"Regardless of whether my guess is right, or if there is another secret, it's savage, my nature is to seek pleasure and hatred, and I can do whatever I want. For you, I can endure it. But if I want to let go of my hatred completely, I must know that for me, It's too difficult. In my whole life, I may not be able to be as open-minded as my grandmother."
He took Xiao Qiao's hands away and got up.
Xiao Qiao's hands slipped from the back of his hands, his eyes followed his figure, and he stared blankly as he walked to the window, pushing the window and standing with his back to him.
"Manman, I'm not a good person. I know that you have been seeking perfection since you married me. You have done your best. In recent days, you have been greatly frightened and wronged. I also know that if I can't let go of it for a day. Hate, you and I can't really be inseparable for a day."
"Give me more time to think clearly."
He turned his head and stared at Xiao Qiao, his eyes narrowed, and he said slowly.
…
Wei Shao left Yuyang the next day.
At the end of July, Wei Shao used Li Dian, the military governor of Mount Tai, to garrison Zhangqiu, referring to Qingzhou; Li Chong and Zhangjian, the governor of Peidi, referring to Xuzhou; he personally supervised Qiao County, and his sword pointed to Langya, and the troops were divided into three routes. The road attacked at the same time, and each was defeated.
When the news came out, the whole world was shaken. I never thought that Wei Shao would openly attack Langya's Han Dynasty.
The Langya court hurriedly dispatched troops, and the military responded with all-out efforts. Wang Ba, Dong Cheng, and others continued to narrate the words, scribbled algae and painted sentences, and made announcements to the world. They scolded Wei Shao for acting against the sky. After Xing Xun, the only traitor, he called on the lords of the world to fight against him.
When the Langya court's decree was distributed all over the world, in mid-August, Li Dian captured Changyi and quickly cut off the link between the Langya court and Qingzhou.
At the end of August, Li Chong and Zhang Jian of the South Road captured Xuzhou.
In the first ten days of September, Wei Shao attacked Yangdu, and the army pointed directly at the court of Langya.
The final battle is imminent.
…
The battle that took place on the land of ancient Qilu shook Kyushu.
Daoist defenders scolded Wei Shao as a rebel and a thief, and God would condemn him.
Southern Yuzhou Gaizhao, Lujiang Song Mausoleum, Jiangxia Liu Quan, Changsha Wufan, and many local lords, in just one month, imitated Hanzhong Lezheng, and took the opportunity to call them emperors and found their own country.
The plague in the south has not yet passed, and Huangzhou and Pengze have suffered from famine again, and white rice can not be bought for ten thousand dollars per husk, and the people are struggling. Chen Ying, a water thief in the Yangtze River, used demonic Taoism to call himself the reincarnation of the Heavenly King, and rallied the refugees under the banner of Heavenly Law. Anyone who conquered a land, such as locusts crossing the border, would be slaughtered for the crime of violating the Heavenly Law. Human corpses are used as military rations, and they are called "early attack the city, and eat meat later." This motivates his subordinates. In just a few months, they have rallied to hundreds of thousands of people. They call themselves Chen Tianwang and cross the Yangtze River to force the wealthy Huaiyang. .
Southern chaos.
But in Yuyang, everything is the same as usual. The people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. After tea and dinner, they chatted a few times about the monarchs attacking and attacking Langya.
The influence of the so-called orthodox Liu surname of the Han family has already plummeted in the north.
Ordinary people, who cares what the surname is in the world, all they want is food and clothing.
During the few years when Wei Shao unified the north, the local government appointed talents, abolished harsh laws, and reduced or exempted servitude. In the turbulent times, they would have food to eat and live a stable life, and they would recognize the princes of the Wei family as heaven.
It's such a simple truth.
…
In the Daming Temple in Luoyang, there is a famous eminent monk Ghatan, who came to Luoyang from Tianzhu when he was young, and stayed there for decades, engaged in translating scriptures and preaching the Dharma.
After Wei Shao occupied Luoyang last year, Mrs. Xu heard about the name of Jiatan, and sent a special person to invite him to Yuyang to preach the law, and Jiatan happily came.
On September 15th, it was the annual Dharma meeting of the Golden Dragon Temple. The eminent monk Ghatan opened the altar to give lectures, and the grand occasion was even better than before, and he did it for seven days in a row.
Mrs. Xu took Mrs. Zhu to the Jinlong Temple to listen to the Fa.
Xiao Qiao did not go and stayed at home to take care of Philip.
Feifei is six or seven months old and has deciduous teeth. Since last month, Xiao Qiao arranged for her to gradually wean her from breast milk and start complementary food.
Philip was very resistant at first, but after a month, he is gradually getting used to the new food.
This evening, when it was time for the Philippine meal, Chunniang brought a bowl of minced meat porridge blended with goat milk. After feeding Philippine, Xiao Qiao played with her for a while.
At Xu Shi, seeing that she was getting sleepy, and coaxing her to sleep, he felt tired too, so he dismissed the nurse and maid, and went to bed behind closed doors, leaving only Chunniang in the room for the night.
She slept and woke up in the middle of the night.
It was quiet all around.
The daughter slept soundly, and Chunniang's even breathing sounded clearly into Xiao Qiao's ears.
Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and wanted to go back to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Wei Shao's attack on Langya, although he was reprimanded for treason at first, but this infamy has gradually settled down with his smooth progress and the independence of many princes in the south.
If there is no accident, at the latest by the end of this month, the Langya court will be destroyed by Wei Shao's hands.
At that time, there were ten points in the world, of which seven or eight points would go into Wei Shao's pocket.
What else can stop his imperial tyranny?
Compared with the previous life in her dream, Wei Shao was close to proclaiming himself emperor, and this life was many years earlier.
The day when he will make Philip a princess must be not far away.
He won't touch Qiao's house any more. Yanzhou is now even more stable. Even if the city gates were wide open, no soldier or soldier would dare to attack.
Although my father is still blind, from the previous communication, he is very open and open-minded.
And Adi, now in Bingzhou, everything is going well.
Joey felt satisfied.
She got Wei Shao's love and tolerance born of love, sheltered her family, and had a lovely daughter. With the situation at the beginning, she can't figure out how to get to today, what more can she ask for?
But tonight, waking up like this, like many nights before, she was still tired.
But no matter what, he couldn't sleep again.
Finally, she climbed down from the bed, put on a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes, and came to her daughter's cot by the white moonlight that came in through the window, looked at the quilt she was covering, and pulled it for her, then silently He came to the window without any breath, and gently opened the window.
A bright moon hangs high above the head, shining brightly all over the world. In the courtyard, the flowers and trees are sparsely supported, and the shadows are intertwined. I don't know which corner, there is an occasional murmur of autumn insects, which seems to be more quiet this autumn night.
Xiao Qiao leaned slantingly by the window and looked up at the bright moon in the Toad Palace above her head. Gradually, her jade arms became cold, and she realized that she had forgotten to put on her clothes when she got up. Just as he was about to close the window, his eyes suddenly stopped.
In the southeast corner, only ten paces away from the window, there was a tree plant.
Under the shadow of the wood tree, there seemed to be a group of people standing there at this moment.
It's just that the corners are dimly lit, so she didn't notice it.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu went to the Jinlong Temple, and it took a few days to return. The guard at home, Jia Xi, was extremely thoughtful and arranged guards at night.
But in such a middle of the night, in a place like the Westinghouse Inner Court, it is absolutely impossible for guards to enter.
This shadow must be an outsider.
Xiao Qiao's whole body suddenly stood up, and was about to shout loudly, when she saw the black shadow flickering slightly, and she hurried towards him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he was in front of her.
The moonlight lit up a half-dark man's face, with deep eyes.
Although she hadn't seen each other for years, she still recognized him at a glance.
It was Wei Yan!
