Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36
A team of more than a thousand people was heading towards the Hejian Kingdom, and on the post roads all over the country, there were also postmen running wildly, and the states and counties across the country also received news of the emperor's death.

Liu Hong was resting inside the house, when there was a sudden commotion outside the door, the little fat man frowned, and walked out of the mansion. These days, he cultivated his energy and morality just like He Xiu, and his body also has a majesty, as his body grows, Putting on a tight short jacket, a jade-colored embroidered gown, and five jade belts around her waist, she is elegant and extraordinary, and the servants in the family are more respectful on weekdays.

After leaving the house, I saw Xing Ziang coming in in a hurry, with a sad expression on his face. When he saw Liu Hong, he hurriedly said, "I just received the report from the mansion that Emperor Daxing has passed away." When Liu Hong heard it, it was like thunder in his ears , his body shook, and the book in his hand fell to the ground. He quickly bent over to pick it up, but he felt indescribable. How should we put it, is it mourning the death of the emperor, or is he happy that he can ascend the throne?Or is he worried that this person will not fall on his head?

Liu Hong took a deep breath and didn't know what to do. At this moment, should he cry to express his feelings for this close relative?It took a long time for the little fat man to recover, nodded, and said: "I see." Then he went back and continued to read. To be honest, it was very difficult for the little fat man to read the contents of the book, but this was the only way he could do it. Soothe the mind.

Not long after, Dong Chong arrived, and he also hurried in. He didn't go to see Liu Hong first, so he went directly to look for Mrs. Dong. Seeing his brother, Mrs. Dong was about to salute when she heard Dong Chong say that the emperor had passed away. , The whole person was in a trance for a moment, and the two burst into tears. In any case, this attitude was to be shown. Uncle Liu ordered to make the entire Tinghou's servants cry.

The house slaves who didn't know what happened could only wail loudly, the cries louder than one another.

The little fat man seemed unable to hear the sound outside the house, sitting in the study, silently reading the words over and over again.

The loudness of the Hou Mansion naturally aroused the curiosity of the rest of the villagers. After inquiring and learning about the death of the emperor, the villagers also began to cry. In Guoxiang's mansion, Yang Qiu knelt on the ground weakly, beat the ground with both hands, and kept crying. Zhang He also wiped his tears and persuaded him.

From Yang Qiu's point of view, the Son of Heaven has the image of an enlightened ruler, after all, he has promoted and reused himself, how could he not be sad when he heard the bad news?

Zhang Xi was known because of Jiedu Tinghou, and was promoted because of Xiangguo Yangqiu. No matter what he said, he didn't feel any sadness when the emperor passed away, but he could only wipe away his tears as a gesture, but he was thinking in his heart For other matters, he leaned over and asked: "Emperor Daxing has no heirs, who will be the new emperor?" Yang Qiu didn't answer, but just cried.

The little fat man was reading in the house, when the servant came, and Yan's mother called, the little fat man had to put down the book, and rushed to the backyard with the servant, when they arrived in the backyard, he heard the wailing, the little fat man was worried that something happened to his mother, I walked in quickly, went in and took a look, only to find that it was my mother and uncle who were crying.

"Mother, what happened?" The little fat man rushed to Dong's side and wiped the tears from Dong's face. Dong didn't answer, but Dong Zhong hurriedly said: "Da Lang, the emperor has passed away. ", the little fat man was taken aback, nodded, and said: "I was impatient just now, I have never met my uncle, and I hope to forgive my sin." Dong Chong was immediately stunned by these words.

In a year, his body has changed too much. Dong Cheng, who is only one year younger than him, is still playing with the slaves in the mansion all day long, and his clothes are disheveled. Compared with this little fat man, no, two There is no comparison at all, Dong Zhong sized him up for a while, and then he uttered two good words, the little fat man hugged Dong, and said softly: "Mother, don't be sad, I am sad."

Only then did Dong stopped crying, looked at the little fat man's mature face, and said, "My son is too."

The little fat man sat down next to her, raised his head, looked at Dong Chong, and asked, "But there is news of someone who harmed my cousin?" Dong Chong's face turned gray instantly, and he shook his head, this has passed For a few months, even if the thief had already escaped, and he didn't know how to avenge his son, the little fat man comforted him for a while, and after chatting for a long time, suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent.

"Da Lang, Master He hasn't looked for you yet?"

"Master He is probably still weeping for Emperor Daxing, and he may not be able to come for a while. The boy has already sent Xing Ziang to go there, so that nothing will happen to the old man's great grief."

Mrs. Dong nodded, and suddenly said: "Although Xing Ziang is talented, he is not my close relative. Look, your cousin is growing up. How about letting him come to study with you?"

The little fat man frowned, looked at Mrs. Dong, this cousin was young and sick, and he hadn't seen him many times, but after all, it was his mother's request, so he couldn't answer, nodded, and said: "This It's all right, but mother, please remember that Xing Ziang is the child's confidant, and you must not mention this in front of outsiders." Dong Shi nodded and looked at Dong Chong.

Dong Chong's face was filled with joy, and he immediately suppressed it, got up, and said: "Then I'll go back now, let that boy prepare well, Da Lang, you teach yourself, if you don't listen to the instruction, you can punish it casually, thank you Da Lang." The little fat man also got up to return the gift, saying that he didn't dare. After Dong Chong left, the little fat man looked at his mother and said helplessly, "Mum, uncle asked you to tell me about this?"

"What? Don't you think my natal family is despicable?"

Despicable means that there is no such thing as lowliness or high expectations. The little fat man shook his head and said: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just that if my mother has such a thing in the future, I will ask the child to discuss it in private, and I can't bring it up in front of outsiders.", Mrs. Dong But he was a little unhappy, frowned, and said: "That's not an outsider, your uncle, if you don't recognize your uncle, don't recognize your mother either!"

The little fat man had no choice but to apologize to his mother for a long time before coaxing Mrs. Dong well.

After another seven or eight days, the mighty troops arrived at Hejian Kingdom. In front of them was the elite Northern Army, riding tall horses, covered in armor and holding axes, followed by a group of small yellow men, walking, Holding flags and banners, followed by Yuefu musicians, holding various ritual instruments, and then heavy soldiers of the Northern Army, holding swords and halberds, all of which are ritual instruments.

There are thousands of people, and there are four horses driving, six horses driving. Wherever they go, it is like an emperor on a tour. From the governor of the state to the local gentry, they go out to greet them. These people and horses have arrived. In Hejian Kingdom, Na Yangqiu hurriedly stood at the front with Zhang Yun, bowed down to worship him, it wasn't anyone who worshiped him, but the emperor's guard of honor, and the driver who greeted the new emperor was also majestic.

Zhang He was on the side, also shocked by the guard of honor, his eyes were fiery, but he didn't have the courage of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, so he could only bow his head to greet them.

Everyone was asking in their hearts, who is this guard of honor going to welcome?
The emperor's guard of honor is naturally to welcome the new emperor, but his identity has caused countless people to have a lot of thoughts, including Yang Qiu. This guard of honor does not notify everyone to welcome them, nor does it specify the goal, and they can't even stop In the middle of the state, the journey starts at the hour of the morning, stops at the hour of the unitary hour, and stops at the hour of the unitary hour. Wherever it stops, it will directly make a living and make stoves, and will not talk to outsiders.

When the common people saw them walking towards Raoyang County, some scholars and rangers followed them curiously, but they did not dare to follow too closely for fear of causing any trouble. After welcoming the monarch, if you follow behind, you are asking for a dead end. The team arrived in Raoyang County, and only then slowly rushed to Jiedu Pavilion.

It seems that the answer is gradually becoming clear.

Zhang He was dumbfounded, then his face turned pale, and he didn't say a word.
