Marry the right man on the wrong sedan chair

In midsummer and July, the trees are lush and the birds are singing.

A heavy rain washed away the sweltering summer heat.Inside the palace walls, there are painted red corridors and wood, and the courtyard is deep.

After going through a hearty love affair, Wu Wenxuan had already fallen asleep, but Zhuang Han, who was held in his arms, couldn't fall asleep anyway, lying on the bed in the dark night, in such a summer day, he still felt cold , cold from head to toe.

The dealer has been walking for many days, received the letter, did not encounter any danger on the road, and arrived in Yunnan safely in a few days.

Before parting, his father changed his attitude towards him, took his hand and urged him to be with him like a tiger, even the person next to him should be more careful, because since ancient times, emperors are so ruthless...

The three vassal kings and their families were suddenly attacked and massacred halfway. On the surface, they seemed to be barbarians, but Zhuang Han felt a little strange.In this massacre, more than 1000 people, men, women, and children were all left. If they were massacred just in case of robbery, how could they end up like this, leaving no one alive?Zhuang Han is not stupid, but he is unwilling to admit that it was done by someone secretly sent by Wu Wenxuan. He would rather believe that it was really just an accident.

He raised his eyes, and by the faint moonlight, carefully looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the people around him, listened to his shallow breathing, thought about the situation in the court for the past few days, and sighed deeply, his brother Wu really Isn't it the original Brother Wu?

Or, have you never really understood this person?

It has been more than three years with the gentleman, and he even has a child, but suddenly he feels that the distance between him and him is getting further and further away.

Quietly got up, sat in front of the window, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the window sill outside, a trace of sadness and sorrow appeared in my heart.

All the people in the Zhuang Mansion moved to Yunnan, and now in this huge capital, there is no one to rely on except the children in the deep palace and the people on the bed.

In fact, when I think about it carefully, I didn’t rely on the banker before, but was abandoned. If it weren’t for Wu Wenxuan’s words: "Zhuang Han, I want to cherish you." Maybe today I would be really helpless and pitiful Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became peaceful again.

Turning his head to look at the sleeping person on the bed with a sense of regret, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, it is better to believe him.

The morning in the imperial city was always busy, the palace gate was slowly opened, and the officials formed two teams and walked slowly towards the main hall.

The officials knelt down and shouted long live, and the morning court began with the sound of mountain shouts.

Wu Wenxuan went to the early court, and Zhuang Han never had time to relax in this harem.Feed Xiao Rourou to eat, play with him, and after he fell asleep, he went to the Xuanzheng Hall to review the memorials. Most of the recent memorials are about the border situation.

The Xiongnu became ambitious and wanted to compete with their own country. They did not hesitate to leave their ancestral land and migrate northward. On the one hand, they learned about their own country and grasped their weaknesses. Second, they learned their strengths so that they could attack them in the future.

Moreover, the Huns have sent troops to invade the border areas of the Great Wu Kingdom many times, and their actions are really hateful.

Zhuang Han looked at each of the memorials, couldn't hide his anger, threw the folders in his hand on the table, and let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter? Who made our queen angry again?" Wu Wenxuan came suddenly, approached Zhuang Han, picked up the memorial on the table, flipped through it casually, and threw it on the table: "Is it because the Huns invaded our border?" Things?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Han said angrily: "This Hun is really hateful. He has harassed our people and occupied our land time and time again, and now he has the audacity to compete with our country and destroy us. , is really abominable."

Wu Wenxuan smiled softly: "They are just talking nonsense."

Zhuang Han looked at him and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be taken lightly. The Huns have been relocated since their father's generation. They also promised their princesses to marry our princes, and sent envoys to our court many times. , In fact, they are secretly familiar with our military situation, learn from our strengths, understand our weaknesses, and then raise troops to invade our dynasty when the time is right. God blessed them, they suffered a major natural disaster last year, so they did not invade our dynasty at the time of turmoil If not, how could it be so easy to sit on the throne today."

Wu Wenxuan was inspired by what he said, and then hurriedly asked Zhuang Han: "According to what Hanhan said, so they have planned it for a long time?"

Zhuang Han nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it; we can't just sit around and wait for death, we must get rid of it as soon as possible."

Wu Wenxuan's heart moved, and he frowned and said: "If that's the case, then tomorrow we will send a group of elite soldiers to Mobei to fight to the death with them, and it's time to drive them back to their lair."

Zhuang Han nodded: "I'm afraid they have spent a lot of thought on dealing with my affairs. When our soldiers go, we should pay more attention. They are insidious and cunning. They are nomads and good at equestrian skills. It is said that their cavalry Very strong."

Quite surprised, Wu Wenxuan looked at Zhuang Han and said, "I didn't tell Han Han much about the Huns' invasion. I heard you say that today, but I didn't expect you to know a lot about it."

When Zhuang Han heard this, he laughed and said, "Reading booklets every day is one of them, and the other is reading since childhood, and I am also very interested in state affairs, so I know more or less, and as a queen, I have to pay more attention to these things. "Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Wenxuan with a slightly raised eyebrow: "Your Majesty, you have your way of being a king, and I also have my way of being a queen. This matter of the Huns is related to the comfort of my subjects, how can I not care about it?" Of?"

Wu Wenxuan smiled, put his arms around Zhuang Han and said, "So, it is my blessing and the blessing of all people that I have this queen."

Zhuang Han was a little shy, speechless: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."

Wu Wenxuan looked at him and said, "I'm telling the truth."

There was a slight smile on Zhuang Han's lips, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The emperor can care about the world and put the country and the people first, which is the blessing of the people."

"Naturally." Wu Wenxuan sat on a chair and moved Zhuang Han into his arms: "Nature puts the people first, but... Hanhan, you are also one of my people, and I put you first and not Nothing wrong, right?"

Zhuang Han was speechless, and smiled helplessly at Wu Wenxuan.

Wu Wenxuan still smiled, kissed him and said, "I'm hungry, so Yun'er must be hungry too, let's go back and eat."

Zhuang Han responded, "Yes."

When the two returned to the Jiaofang Hall, Xiaorourou was already able to eat some soft food. Millet porridge was always available, and Wu Wenxuan liked to feed Xiaorourou for dinner recently.

Hugging his soft little meat, scooped a little millet porridge with a small silver spoon, scraped off the residual soup at the bottom of the spoon, and then carefully handed it to Xiao Rou Rou's mouth, and gently sent the porridge into Xiao Rou Rou's mouth. meat mouth.

Zhuang Han looked a little surprised, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a lot better than before."

Wu Wenxuan smiled and said: "That's natural." Looking up at Zhuang Han, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "When the second child is born, I can give it to me to feed it."

Zhuang Han smiled, did not answer, and lowered his head to eat his meal.

After feeding Xiaorourou and handing him over to the nanny, Wu Wenxuan and Zhuang Han had lunch and chatted for a while, Wu Wenxuan went to the Imperial Study Room, and Zhuang Han went to Xiao Yuna.

Zhuang Han just returned to the palace when it was dark; Wu Wenxuan was still dealing with political affairs in the imperial study.

It was around dinner time that we returned to the Jiaofang Hall. Wu Wenxuan walked into the hall with a smile on his face, but seeing Zhuang Han's complexion, he quickly restrained his smile and asked, "What's wrong with Hanhan?"

Zhuang Han was taken aback, looking at Wu Wenxuan's side face, with mixed feelings in his heart, he sighed lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just..." After thinking for a while, he prevaricated, "I'm a little tired."

"When I went to Seventh Brother, what did you do, so tired?" Wu Wenxuan asked, "I'm so tired that my face is so ugly, but it makes my heart ache."

Zhuang Han pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "Seventh Brother and Brother Xiao said they want to leave the capital and live in Hangzhou."

Wu Wenxuan was startled, and frowned, "Why?"

Zhuang Han looked a little sad: "Seventh brother said that cutting the feudal clan will not treat everyone equally. He is also a feudal lord and should be included in the feudal cut. He voluntarily removed the feudal position and moved to Hangzhou with Brother Xiao."

Wu Wenxuan was slightly stunned, and said in silence: "I have already said that the cutting of feudal clans has nothing to do with him, so what's wrong with him? He's going to be a father, and he's still so immature."

Zhuang Han looked at him, with a little disappointment in his eyes, and said lightly: "The emperor is so smart, why is the seventh brother, the emperor should guess."

Wu Wenxuan was a little bit blamed when he heard what he meant, and asked with a frown: "Hanhan, if you have something to say, why not beat around the bush like this? I think I didn't treat my seventh brother badly."

Zhuang Han sighed softly, and said, "The death of the three princes and their family really has nothing to do with the emperor?"

Hearing this, Wu Wenxuan's eyes were tightly frowned, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "They are all brothers of my own family. They were killed suddenly, and I am also sad. I have already ordered people to bury them well. People cannot be resurrected after death. Is it related to me, is it that important?"

Zhuang Han felt a little sad in his heart, frowned, and looked at him in fear: "Brother Wu..." He paused: "That is, more than 1000 lives were lost... Not a single one was left alive... Isn't it, too cruel ?”

Wu Wenxuan turned his head to look at him, and said a little unhappy: "What Yi Hanhan means is that I can kill those people?"

"Isn't it?" Zhuang Han asked back.

Wu Wenxuan remained silent with a cold face.

The two were silent for a while, before Wu Wenxuan said: "Killing is a kind of innovation. It is the only way especially for those who harbor evil intentions and refuse to change after repeated admonitions."

Zhuang Han was horrified by these words, and looked at Wu Wenxuan in shock, his eyes full of horror.

Wu Wenxuan said: "They have insulted me many times, and openly insulted you and our children more times. How can I spare them again and again? Since the day I ascended the throne, I have decided to get rid of them, but the time has not yet come. Now Eliminating them all together, and avoiding future troubles, is really satisfying. Hanhan, have you forgotten how they forced you and me back then?"

Zhuang Han stared blankly at him for a while, before saying, "I just think that their wives and children are innocent, so why don't they let them go and punish them all?"

"Haven't you heard of cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots to prevent future troubles?" Wu Wenxuan said.

Zhuang Han was anxious: "Haven't you heard of governing the world with benevolence?"

"Hanhan, in prosperous times, we should govern the world with benevolence, and in troubled times, we should rule the world with strategies." Wu Wenxuan said: "When I first became emperor, they were dissatisfied with me. Not only did they not help me govern the world, but they even planned to rebel. They deserve death."

"Benevolence does not mean benevolence, and plan does not mean plan. Benevolence and plan depend on each other." Zhuang Han said angrily, "Shouldn't the emperor put benevolence first when treating his brothers and sisters?"

"What about my brothers? Why don't my brothers fight each other for this power struggle?" Wu Wenxuan said, "Besides, benevolent governance depends on who is right, they are not worthy!"

Zhuang Han was stunned, and stood there for a long time. He knew that what he was practicing was benevolent government, but what Wu Wenxuan was practicing was warrants, and even for the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to kill, even old friends, women and children.

Zhuang Han felt that it would be useless to talk to this person, and finally turned around angrily and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Wu Wenxuan, hugged him into his arms, and asked, "You are actually angry with me for the sake of a few innocent people?"

Zhuang Han remained silent.

Wu Wenxuan said: "I have done so much, do you think it is all for the throne?"

Zhuang Han said coldly: "Isn't it?"

Wu Wenxuan was angry, so he asked him to look at him and said, "I admit that there is a reason for this, but I also did this for you and Yun'er."

Zhuang Han didn't take it seriously, and struggled: "The murder is also for me and Yun'er?"

Wu Wenxuan held him tightly in his arms, making him unable to struggle. Zhuang Han was annoyed and used his internal force to shake him away.

Wu Wenxuan was shocked to the ground, looked at Zhuang Han in disbelief, stared at him in a daze and said: "Hanhan, you..." He hesitated to speak, eyes full of sadness.

Seeing the trembling in Zhuang Han's eyes, he immediately felt guilty in his heart, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Han Han thinks it's too cruel for you to massacre like that, and besides, they are your brothers... How could you... How could you do this?" like..."

Wu Wenxuan stood up staggeringly, with a look of pain on his face, tears in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Hanhan, are you blaming me?"

Zhuang Han bit his lip and said, "Han Han dare not, it's just..."

"Just what?" Wu Wenxuan asked back.

Zhuang Han looked at him, not knowing how to express what he wanted, so he took a deep breath and said, "Han Han doesn't want to talk to the emperor any more, I want to be alone tonight, please allow the emperor to allow me."

Wu Wenxuan saw that Zhuang Han didn't answer and drove him away, so he suddenly became irritable, almost jumping violently, he choked up and scolded: "Zhuang Han! In your eyes, I, Wu Wenxuan, is the tyrant who kills people without batting an eyelid. The others are Good man, isn't he?!" He took a deep breath and tried not to cry: "For you, I would rather betray the world than betray you; they almost forced you to death that day, you are so generous , you are soft-hearted, but I can't swallow this breath; I gave them a chance, but they failed to live up to their own expectations and asked for their own death, no wonder I am cruel; just because of them, you blamed me so much today, and let me leave your bedroom? "As he spoke, he became even more sad, and said in a trembling voice: "I only have you in this huge palace, where do you want me to go? Huh? Hanhan, tell me, where else can I go besides you?" There were tears in his eyes, about to flow out, his shoulders trembled, and his body trembled slightly. It seemed that he was very angry with Zhuang Han, sad, really sad.

Zhuang Han's heart tightened, and he couldn't help feeling distressed. He had never seen this person so helpless and sad; yes, he was alone in this huge palace, where could he go?

He once said to himself that he is his destination, his home, and his place of peace; he also said that he doesn't need anyone, only one Zhuang Han is enough.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Han's anger subsided, and he called softly: "Brother Wu..."

Wu Wenxuan looked at Zhuang Han slowly with tears in his eyes, Zhuang Han took his hand distressedly, bit his lower lip, and said: "Han Han is wrong, you, what are you doing? The majestic king of a country is actually crying... "As he spoke, he also choked up.

Wu Wenxuan hugged him tightly, sad and happy, and said excitedly: "Hanhan, Hanhan, my Hanhan..."

Zhuang Han closed his eyes and leaned into his arms: "Brother Wu, mother has left, father has left, and then the seventh brother and brother Xiao will also leave the capital, and the people around us have left... only us... ...Brother Wu, I hate this feeling...you know, I hate..." He said with tears streaming down his face.

Wu Wenxuan's heart tightened, he hugged him tightly, and comforted him: "I'm still here, and so is our Yun'er. He grows up day by day, and we will have a few more children in the future... Hanhan... We depend on each other, we won't Lonely...you know?"

As he spoke, he interlocked fingers with Zhuang Han, and kissed his bun tenderly: "If you don't want the Seventh Brothers to leave, I will go and keep them. I promise you, I will definitely keep them... So, don't blame me. ?"

Zhuang Han sighed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, don't force others to be difficult... It depends on what the seventh brother and the others want to keep you, don't let you, the only brother, be with you..." Speaking of this, he hesitated to speak. end.

Wu Wenxuan closed his eyes: "Okay, I promise you, I will listen to you in everything from now on... Hanhan, I don't care if other people leave me, as long as you don't leave me, I just want to be with you..." Said Kissing Zhuang Han's bun over and over again, his arms tightened even more, lest the person in his arms disappear all of a sudden.

Zhuang Han felt his panic and fragility, leaned into his arms, pressed against his chest tightly, without saying a word.

That night, Wu Wenxuan pressed Zhuang Han on the bed, lingering to death, as if he wanted to swallow him into his stomach and embed him in his body.

His Zhuang Han is also surprisingly cooperative and crazy, as if looking for a kind of catharsis in this love, as if only in this way can he forget the sadness in his heart.

This kind of lingering and hugging to death, but I feel that nothing is enough, not enough...

It was a happy night, and the peace of mind in the past was gone, leaving only loneliness.

The mid-autumn harvest in August is busy.

But this is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and the frontier [-] miles urgently reported that our army was defeated, and there were too many casualties.

Above the court hall, there was a dead silence.

Wu Wenxuan was in a hurry, threw the booklet to Shen Qing's face, and said angrily: "This is the soldier you trained?!"

Shen Qing knelt on the ground with an ugly expression and a confused heart. After thinking for a while, he resigned and said: "I am willing to lead the army to fight against the Xiongnu myself, and I will never return!"

Wu Wenxuan snorted coldly: "You have a lot of ambition! However, Ma Yan and Sun Jie have been defeated one after another. You, a general, cannot shirk your responsibility. If you don't resign, I will let you go to the border."

Shen Qing bowed her head and remained silent.

Wu Wenxuan took a deep breath and said: "I see that you are living too leisurely these days, and you have been defeated again and again. Where is the arrogance of the past?! A bunch of trash!"

No one dared to speak in the main hall, and all lowered their heads.

After retiring from the court, Wu Wenxuan recruited some ministers to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss the matter of attacking the Huns.

The sudden arrival of Zhuang Han relieved the dull and terrifying atmosphere; all ministers, wipe your sweat secretly, the empress is here, that's great.

Wu Wenxuan glared at these ministers, while Zhuang Han looked calm.

After Zhuang Han reported his resignation to go to the expedition, Wu Wenxuan glared at Zhuang Han with frightened eyes, while Zhuang Han still looked at him calmly.

"Hanhan, I won't allow it!"

Zhuang Han said: "The Xiongnu ministers are sure to defeat them. Except for Shen Qing and others in the court, the subordinates and the emperor fought the world together. They used countless tricks that day, and they are also experienced in dealing with foreign enemies. Now I am willing to lead the soldiers to go out in person , and a decisive battle with the Xiongnu; please grant the emperor's permission."

"No!" Wu Wenxuan sullenly said.

Zhuang Han approached him, and looked at him calmly: "Please allow me, Your Majesty!"

Wu Wenxuan glared: "You..."

Zhuang Han was not afraid, and said lightly: "You promise me, and you can listen to me. I have nothing else to ask. I just want to contribute to the country and help the community."

Wu Wenxuan frowned, holding back his anger and said: "You are my queen, you are Yun'er's father, and Yun'er is still young, do you have the heart to leave?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Han's heart moved, bit his lips and said: "He can already eat, and with you here, there are so many people pampering him, it's fine."

"You..." Wu Wenxuan was angry.

"The emperor also said that I am also one of the people of this country. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, not to mention that I am the queen of this country."

Wu Wenxuan was obviously very angry. Facing Zhuang Han's insistence, he was helpless. He was angry, but he couldn't refuse. This person has been trapped in the deep palace for too long, and he needs to go out for a walk. This time, Zhuang Han is determined. If he wants to lead troops to go out, if he traps and locks him up again, I'm afraid there will be a gap between him and him again.

"Your majesty, I just want to do my best for the country, don't you even allow this?"

Seeing Zhuang Han's calm and persistent appearance, a trace of heartache flashed across Wu Wenxuan's eyes, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the sadness in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I promise you!"

The officials withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall, and Wu Wenxuan couldn't control it any longer. He hugged Zhuang Han into his arms and said angrily, "How far are you trying to push me? Hanhan!"

Zhuang Han squeezed out a smile and said, "I just want to be a man for once. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will win the battle."

These words made Wu Wenxuan's heart ache, he choked up and said: "Hanhan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I wronged you..."

Zhuang Han smiled slightly, and leaned against his arms holding back his tears without saying a word.

At the end of August, when the autumn wind was cold, Zhuang Han led an army to attack the Xiongnu.

Wu Wenxuan hugged Xiaorourou and watched him leave Beijing.

Before leaving, Zhuang Han hugged Xiaorourou and kissed him over and over again, with tears streaming down his face and eyes full of reluctance.

Wu Wenxuan called softly: "Hanhan..." The following words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhuang Han knew that he was trying to keep himself back, so he closed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling slightly, took a deep breath, shook his head, then flew onto the horse, and said, "Your Majesty, farewell!"

Standing on the city wall, holding Xiao Rourou in his arms and watching Zhuang Han's disappearing figure, Wu Wenxuan suddenly felt very empty in his heart, and suddenly felt abandoned.

He murmured to himself: "Hanhan, I will give you what you want, and Yun'er and I will wait for your triumphant return."
