I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 331: The emperor’s wedding, the whole world celebrates, the Queen Mother is angry, Huo Dang is panicked! (Please subscribe)
Haishi has passed, and the Emperor's chariot finally left the General's Mansion.

After Liu He got in the car, he kept his eyes closed, thinking quietly, and was speechless all the way.

Tonight, the back house of the General's Mansion was messed up by him, so how could his thoughts not be messed up?
Many things that happened in these few hours were as he imagined, but some were beyond his imagination.

Among them, the biggest variable is Huo Chengjun.

When he came, Liu He originally wanted to break Huo Chengjun's heart and let her be a good queen and not become Huo's "accomplice".

Liu He's goal was half achieved, but there was still a little surprise.

This surprise was not in Huo Chengjun's body, but in Liu He's heart.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Liu He was the emperor of Han Dynasty, but he was still a human being after all.

Even though he was Emperor Xiaowu, didn't he have feelings for Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Li?
Although Emperor Xiaowu still "killed" them or their relatives in the end, it cannot be denied that there was a true love between them when they slept together.

People who are "ruthless and unjust" like Emperor Xiaowen are, after all, only a minority among the minority.

And Liu He now has a true love for Huo Chengjun.

He spent very little time with Huo Chengjun, but through various sources, he probably knew that Huo Chengjun was a kind, lively, decent, and independent woman.

These advantages are enough.

What's more, emotions are so magical that they will naturally grow under some special circumstances.

This may be the so-called love at first sight. The foundation of this love at first sight is not Huo Chengjun's appearance, but the loneliness in Liu He's heart.

In the past few years, Liu He was a real loner in the Han Empire, without a father or a mother, just like a man.

After he ascended the throne, under the great Han Dynasty, everyone was related to him, but at the same time, everyone had nothing to do with him.

Deep in his heart, he naturally hopes that there is a harbor where he can take a break.

Huo Chengjun is his wife, and like his parents and children, he is his legitimate close relative.

Liu He has neither father, mother, nor children, so his wife becomes the only person he can talk to.

It is normal for that feeling to grow from within.

He will try his best not to let Huo Chengjun down, and naturally hopes that Huo Chengjun will not let him down.

The road ahead is very long, and having someone to walk with it is not necessarily a bad thing.

The emperor's chariots moved forward in the cold night, and the crescent moon hanging in the night sky cast a cold light on Chang'an City.

Liu He in the car didn't feel cold, but felt a little warm.

……

The next day, in Changxin Hall, Shangguan Queen Mother was silently reading the edict sent by the emperor, while Yu Wuyou stood quietly in the hall waiting.

This edict was sent by the emperor to the Empress Dowager Shangguan for review. It was an edict to let Huo Chengjun enter the palace. The emperor did a good job. All important edicts were sent to the Empress Dowager Shangguan for review.

After the Empress Dowager Shangguan read it, Yu Wuyou briefly recounted what happened at the General's Mansion last night.

The emperor would actually make this decision, and the Queen Mother Shangguan felt both emotion and melancholy in her heart.

"Yu Wuyou, will the other two Jieyu, Zhang Anjun and Cai Wenyan also enter the palace with the queen?" Shangguan Queen Mother asked.

"Your Majesty said that the Queen will enter the palace first, and the two Jieyu will enter the palace in the spring next year." Yu Wuyou replied.

"Is this something that the emperor has decided long ago, or was it decided temporarily after arriving at the General's Mansion?"

"Before your majesty left for the general's palace, he actually wanted the two Jieyu to enter the palace together. I don't know why your majesty made this change."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother Shangguan smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wuyou looked a year or two older than the emperor, but his character was not as mature as the emperor, so he didn't see this matter clearly.

"It seems that from now on, Queen Huo will exclusively favor Jiaofang Palace."

Speaking of Jiaofang Palace, the Queen Mother Shangguan thought of how she had lived there a few months ago, but she didn't expect that it would be replaced by a new person so soon.

Emperor Xiaozhao's face has been blurred, it seems that it happened in a previous life.

At this moment, Queen Mother Shangguan didn't feel much heartache or melancholy, because she had gradually stepped out from the shadow of the Weiyang Palace.

Life in Changle Palace was actually more enjoyable.

"Your Majesty will have a sense of propriety and will let the concubines in the harem get the rain and dew." Yu Wuyou said seriously.

When the Shangguan Queen Mother heard this, she burst into laughter. She was as innocent and romantic as an ordinary teenager.

On the contrary, Yu Wuyou was at a loss for a moment.

"Why is the Queen Mother laughing? Is it because Wei Chen said something wrong?" Yu Wuyou asked with some confusion.

"I'm laughing at you, Yu Wuyou, who has never learned to write but insists on talking about other people's handwriting." Shangguan Queen Mother said with a smile.

Her already delicate face was no longer as pale as it was a few months ago. Instead, it was as bright as a peach blossom because of the smile that had not dissipated.

Yu Wuyou heard the Queen Mother teasing and ridiculing him, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Have you ever been married at home?" Queen Mother Shangguan asked.

"The minister is with His Majesty, and every day is used as a few days, so there is no marriage yet."

"Is there a daughter's family you like?"

"It's never happened before." Yu Wuyou was very puzzled. He didn't know why the Queen Mother Shangguan asked him these questions today.

"That's no wonder. Of course you can't see through this matter between men and women." Shangguan Queen Mother sighed, and her beautiful smile also faded.

"The humble minister is stupid."

"You don't have to be impatient. Once His Majesty completely takes control of this big man's world, you will definitely be the biggest hero."

"When the time comes, no matter which noble clan's daughter you fall in love with, the emperor will marry you."

"Maybe there is no need for the emperor to propose marriage, and naturally there will be wealthy people from high families who will come to marry Yu Qing."

"At that time, Yu Qing might be spoiled for choice, so there is no need to worry now."

As Yu Wuyou listened, he felt a little more confused than before.

He looked at Shangguan Queen Mother in confusion, feeling that the Queen Mother seemed to be a little unhappy in her words, but he could not figure out what he had done wrong.

It was not until the Queen Mother Shangguan finished speaking that he replied in a somewhat dull tone: "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. It will all depend on His Majesty's will."

As soon as Yu Wuyou said these words, the Shangguan Queen Mother immediately changed into a frosty look.

Her eyes widened even more, looking at Yu Wuyou with provocation and mockery, very dissatisfied.

"Official affairs in the consultation room of Menxia Temple are very busy. As a consultant, there is no need for you to stay here and waste time with me. Let's go." The Empress Dowager Shangguan suddenly issued an eviction order.

"Didn't the Queen Mother just ask the minister to report what secret methods were implemented in the Menxia Temple?" Yu Wuyou asked confused. He didn't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly became angry.

"No need, I'm tired today. Since you are busy with official duties, you don't need to come to Changle Palace again. If the emperor has anything to do, just let someone else tell you."

"But..." Yu Wuyou wanted to ask, but Shangguan Queen Mother did not give him this chance. She stood up from the couch and walked away.

Yu Wuyou was even more confused. He looked at the back of Queen Mother Shangguan and wanted to ask for more information.

However, before the words came out, he shut his mouth. Where could any minister ask the Queen Mother?
When the last trace of Queen Mother Shangguan's clothes disappeared behind the screen, Yu Wuyou felt a little lost for some reason.

At this moment, he was the only one left in Changxin Palace, which seemed very empty.

In the past few months, he has come to Changxin Hall every few days, more often than to Greenhouse Hall.

He is already very familiar with every brick and wood here. Could it be that from today on, he will never be able to come again?
Thinking of the sudden brewing of the Queen Mother Shangguan just now, Yu Wuyou wondered if he had made a mistake and angered the Queen Mother Shangguan.

If you commit any of the following, it is really a capital crime.

However, he couldn't figure out what was wrong for the moment.

Yu Wuyou stood in the Changxin Hall for a moment, and after confirming that the Shangguan Queen Mother would never come out of the back hall, he reluctantly saluted the Queen Mother's couch and left in despair.

At this time, from unknown corners, several shouts of "chirp, chirp, chirp" came from nowhere, making Yu Wuyou's back look even more lonely.

Winter has not yet arrived in Chang'an City, but spring seems to be closer.

Even the pairs of weeds couldn't help but brave the cold to come out and sing.

……

Another day later, the queen's order to enter the palace on a certain day came out from the Weiyang Palace without any warning.This news was like thunder on the ground, shocking the courtiers and people in Chang'an City.

In the past, although this was a great joyous event, it had little to do with ordinary officials and people.

But this time, something is different.

Because Chang'an City really needs some good news.

At the beginning of spring, the emperor went on a grand tour, and the whole country was in a state of peace; in midsummer, there were heavy rains, and Chang'an was hit by disaster; in early autumn, the Han army went on an expedition, with iron horses and golden weapons...

In the past half month, the rumors and random speculations in the court have shrouded everyone in the Han Empire in a depressing atmosphere.

Many people smell the smell of danger, but they don't know where the danger will come from, which adds to the fear.

Because the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown.

Now, the queen has entered the palace and the emperor is about to complete his wedding. This good news has become a whole recruitment process, which has loosened the solid atmosphere of Chang'an City a lot.

At least the things that the people talked about after dinner were finally no longer sad things like "the Emperor's great achievements", "Confucian scholars making trouble", "frequent floods" and "relatives going to war".

Warm a pot of wine, invite a few neighbors, and drink at home while talking about the emperor and the queen's boudoir. Although it is a bit rebellious, it can also make people feel comfortable.

In addition, today's emperor is more benevolent than the previous emperors, and has turned this "pleasure of one person" into "the happiness of the world."

Taking advantage of the queen's entry into the palace, the emperor issued an edict and gave many rewards to the world in the name of the queen.

He has been giving porridge in the northern city of Chang'an every day for a month. He has given five pounds of meat to the elderly over 60 years old in the world, half a piece of silk to all unmarried women over 15 years old, and two pieces of cash to children under ten years old. Hundred……

It’s not too much, but it is a tangible benefit after all.

The emperor's wedding is celebrated all over the world. How can the people not feel happy?

In addition, when rewarding the world, the emperor reduced the wedding ceremony to the extreme - no contributions from the county and state, no increase in taxes, no large-scale construction...

One positive and one negative, each one is a kind deed and benevolent government.

The people of the Han Empire were all first-class good people. They once again felt the benevolent demeanor of the emperor, and they would naturally enjoy the same with the emperor.

……

In the north city of Chang'an, Xianheng Wine Shop was as lively as usual.

Meng Ban, who was working during the labor examination, carried a wine flask and walked into the Xianheng Wine Shop with great joy. He boldly took a picture of [-] yuan on the curved cabinet.

Meng Ban, Guan Er and Zhang San were all from Changyi.

When they were in Changyi State, Meng Ban worked as a carpenter, while Guan Er and Zhang San worked as a painter. They often worked together, so they were familiar with each other.

Now that I have come to Chang'an with the "King of Changyi", I have even more feelings of hometown friendship.

Guan Er and Zhang San, who were busy at work, quickly put down their work and came over with smiles.

"Brother Meng, where did you get this windfall and you are so generous today?" Guan Er took the two bamboo wine bottles handed over by Meng Ban with both hands and handed them to the boy behind him.

"Hahaha, I am a craftsman who works in a workshop. I rely on my craftsmanship to make a living. I work for a day and get paid for a day. How can I have any chance of making a fortune? I am not as good as two brothers. Maybe one day I will make a fortune." Meng Ban Laughed heartily.

"Hey, who from Changyi in Chang'an City doesn't know that there are three tigers in Brother Meng's family, and they are all good workers. They earn more than 10,000 yuan in wages a year." Guan Er said flatteringly.

"Exactly, I'm afraid I can buy a house in Shangguan next year. Then I will definitely go and celebrate together." Zhang San also agreed.

Guan Er and Zhang San were already talkative among the villagers, and now they were running the Xianheng Winery. They had met a lot of all kinds of people, and they were even more eloquent than before.

So just a few words made Meng Ban smile all over his face.

"I didn't hide it from my two brothers. The county magistrate gave the craftsmen who were taking the labor examinations a seven-day bathing holiday on their wedding day. The family hasn't had time for a long time, so we bought some wine and went back to have fun."

Meng Ban smiled mysteriously and continued: "The wages are still being paid these days. You can get money without having to work. This is really a great thing."

"The county magistrate is really kind. In the coming year, the magistrate and the queen will definitely give birth to a dragon heir." Guan Er said.

"Maybe they are twins!" Zhang San sighed with a smile.

While he was talking, Meng Ban's wine had been poured. He took the two wine bottles and weighed them in his hands. This was at least one liter more than usual.

Meng Ban, who got the benefit, quickly bowed his hands and said thanks: "Hey, thank you two brothers."

At this time, Guan Er winked at Zhang San and left with an excuse. Zhang San immediately nodded slightly with understanding and turned to Meng Ban with a smile.

"Brother Meng, if I remember correctly, your family has three sons, right?" Zhang San asked.

"Exactly." Meng Ban replied.

"Is the youngest one named Meng Xing?"

"Brother Zhang has such a good memory, please remember it so clearly."

"I wonder if you have ever been married?" Zhang San asked further.

"He is only fifteen this year, and he is very frizzy. How can any woman like him?" Although Meng Ban said this, he still smiled, and there was no trace of sadness.

"15 years old, it's already late, so we have to plan this matter as soon as possible..." Zhang San leaned over the cabinet with his upper body, came closer to Meng Ban and said in a low voice, "Second brother Guan has a little girl in his family, who is virtuous and Zhou Zheng. I am just eighteen this year, and it is most suitable to marry Meng Xing."

Meng Ban was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this was the reason why these two brothers were so diligent.

"Eighteen? That's three years older..." Meng Ban replied hesitantly.

"Hey, my daughter is older, good at giving birth and loving others, so she is a good match."

Meng Banpi nodded with a smile, but did not take the question.

Both are craftsmen, and the Meng family and the Guan family are also well-matched. If Zhang San had proposed this matter a year ago, Meng Ban would have agreed without hesitation.

But now, Meng Ban has a new idea, and Meng Xing is also taking the engineering examination. Although he is getting a craftsman's salary, he is very much appreciated by Xie Langshijun, the advisor.

Meng Xing has to work everywhere behind Xie Shijun all day long, and he also has to read and write.

Meng Ban heard Meng Xing say that thanks to Shijun, he allowed him to work down-to-earth and learn to read well, so that he might one day be able to fill the role of a clerk in the carpentry workshop.

Several generations of Lao Meng's family have been hard-working carpenters. Even if they can produce a small official who fights for food, it will be smoke in the ancestral grave.

After all, although this Dou Shi official is of low rank, he still eats royal food. He might be promoted to a higher level, and then he will be a genuine envoy.

Since he is the envoy, that silly girl from the Guan family is not worthy enough.

Meng Ban has already thought about it, no matter what, he has to find a Chang'an family in this northern city to get married, and maybe the dowry will be larger.

Thinking of this, Meng Ban smiled "hehe" and said a little slyly: "Meng Xing is only 15 years old. It's too early."

"Brother Meng, if you think it's early, you can get engaged first and then get married next year. Isn't this the same thing for the county magistrate?" Zhang San said enthusiastically, looking like a matchmaker for his mother-in-law.

"Hey, hey, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go back and discuss it with Zhuo Jing. We'll talk about it later. We'll talk about it later." Meng Ban slipped out of the door while cupping his hands.

"Brother Meng, we have discussed it clearly. You must tell me..."

……

The ordinary people in Chang'an City were in a happy mood, but many people in power were not.

In addition to the imperial edict issued by the emperor, there were also some rumors spread.

I don’t know if these rumors were spread deliberately or if they spread like wildfire.

The general has reconciled with the emperor and will soon return to the court to assist the government - this news makes many Huo party members restless.

It's like a father and son fighting, and the neighbor steps up to help the father beat the unfilial son. Now that the father and son have reconciled, how do they deal with the quarrelsome neighbor?
What's more, the head of the family is not the "father" they help, but the son they beat together!

The more aggressive the persuasion was at the beginning, the more dangerous it is now.

Among the many Huo parties, the first to bear the brunt was naturally the success of Prime Minister Ren Gonghe Taichang.

On that day, Lang Changyi and Lang Yulin came to visit unexpectedly with the emperor's edict. After that, they no longer dared to go to the front office, let alone show up in the office.

I can only stay in the back house in fear and fear all day long.

Now, they suddenly heard that the queen was going to enter the palace, and the general and the emperor were reconciled, and they were even more surprised and happy.

He was shocked because he was worried that he would become an outcast, but he was happy because he could return to the court with the general.

They couldn't hold it any longer - even though they couldn't go to the General's Mansion openly yet, they had to take care of themselves first.

Ren Gong and Lecheng first exchanged letters, and then Lecheng secretly rode an old carriage to the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a low-key manner.

They have to plan their way out carefully.
