Husband has a sweetheart

The emperor asked the officials and vassal kings to observe the execution, just to scare them and let them know that rebellion would only lead to death.However, an additional line was added to Lu Wei's imperial edict, which was clearly written, asking Lu Wei to bring his family to Beijing.

Lu Wei was furious after receiving the imperial edict. After entering the house, he threw the edict directly to the ground.

Emperor Anping saw that the Jiangxia rebels had been annihilated and he had no internal worries, so he wanted Lu Wei to send his wife and children to the capital as hostages, and he still had this evil idea.

It was impossible for Lu Wei to leave Zhang Yuqing and the three children in the capital. He already had an idea in mind. Just like the last time he led troops to approach the capital and forced Emperor Anping to release them, he led an army of 20 on the road and arrived in Luoyang. The army was encamped and he entered Beijing alone.

If Emperor Anping is sensible and understands that Mrs. Lu and her children are weak and sick and cannot bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling, then everyone will naturally be happy.But if Emperor Anping was ignorant and forced his wife and children to come to Beijing as hostages, that would be a stab at his Achilles heel. Don't blame him for flipping the table.

Zhang Yuqing had a different idea. She felt that now was not the time to fall out with Emperor Anping, so she said that she would accompany Lu Wei to Beijing and leave the child in Liangzhou.

An army of 20 was selected and marched to Luoyang, guarded by Fang Mo and others.

Although Emperor Anping defeated the Jiangxia rebels, the huge manpower and financial resources consumed by so many years of war basically brought down the Great Xia Dynasty. There are only 40 Imperial Guards left out of the millions, many of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. .

If Lu Wei didn't lift the table, Emperor Anping would have to thank his ancestors for their blessing.

This time they went together as husband and wife, which could be regarded as a favor to Emperor Anping.

Emperor Anping took advantage of this step and could continue to live a life of love and mutual respect between the monarch and his ministers.If he doesn't go down this level, the 20 Liangzhou cavalry can turn the capital upside down, allowing the vassal kings who are eyeing him to take advantage of it and ascend to the throne.

Mr. Lin also agreed with Zhang Yuqing's opinion that Emperor Anping was the emperor and Lu Wei was his minister. The emperor warmly invited Lu Wei to bring his family. If Lu Wei refused to comply, he would be disobeying the decree and losing morally.

20 elite cavalry were stationed near Luoyang. Lu Wei only took Zhang Yuqing and hundreds of guards and continued eastward to the capital.

Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing first went to Mercy Nunnery and paid homage to Princess Duanshu.

After not seeing each other for several years, Duanshu seemed not to have aged at all, but she regretted that she still could not see her two grandchildren.

Zhang Yuqing has always been grateful to Duan Shu for protecting her and Lu Xiao back then, taking the initiative to stay in the capital as a hostage, and was very polite and respectful to Duan Shu.

During lunch, Duan Shu mentioned that in the past few days, there had been an endless stream of officials and vassal princes waiting to enter the city at the gate of the capital. They all came to the capital after receiving the edict from Emperor Anping.

Emperor Anping was determined to demonstrate his orthodox throne by annihilating the whole family of the King of Jiangxia.

The next day, Lu Wei went to the execution ground to watch the execution and asked Zhang Yuqing to stay in Fansi Courtyard to rest.

"Will the emperor also go to watch the execution?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Lu Wei shook his head, "The emperor has sent the county prince and others to serve as supervisors and beheading officials. He probably won't go."

Zhang Yuqing felt a little regretful. She thought that the emperor had to personally supervise the execution of the emperor's troubled person for so many years, but she still stayed in the palace and could not come out.

Lu Wei stretched out his hand, and Zhang Yuqing helped him put on the purple robe of a second-rank official and put on his belt.

"He is still afraid." Lu Weiyi said, fearing that King Jiangxia's remnants would come to the capital to assassinate him, so the emperor would not dare to show up on the street.

Lu Wei rarely wore official uniforms. When he was in Liangzhou, he usually wore casual clothes. When he went to the military camp, he wore armor and military uniforms. Now that he wears a second-grade purple robe, the person wearing it becomes more handsome and noble than when he first met Zhang Yuqing a few years ago. , adding a bit of grace and charm to a mature man.

"You wait at home." Lu Wei kissed Zhang Yuqing's lips, "I will take you to the palace in the afternoon."

After killing the rebel family, a dinner party will be held in the palace to entertain officials and vassal kings from all over the country.

As Lu Wei's wife, Zhang Yuqing also had to go to the palace to face the saint.

At noon, Zhang Yuqing sat under the eaves, watching the sun rise little by little to the middle of the sky, shining brightly on the earth.

Zhang Yuqing stretched out her hand to block the sunlight, silently thinking that it was almost time for execution over there at the execution ground.

Hundreds of members of King Jiangxia's family will die at this moment.

I wonder if King Jiangxia ever thought that when he proclaimed himself emperor and raised troops, he would have a family that would be completely wiped out.

Is the throne of an emperor so attractive?Let these crazy people be willing to sacrifice the lives of countless innocent people to climb onto the blood-soaked dragon chair!

Zhang Yuqing closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Emperor Taichang had been dead for several years. Emperor Anping seemed to be frightened and refused to leave the palace. He was always on guard against various vassal kings and frontier officials.

I don’t know what comfort there is in the life of such a frightened emperor.

In the afternoon, Lu Wei came back on horseback.

Zhang Yuqing twisted the handkerchief for him and wiped the dust from his face, "Why are you back now?"

Lu Wei frowned when he talked about today's execution.

They originally paid no attention to the execution, thinking they were just killing the King of Jiangxia and his family.When Lu Wei arrived at the execution ground, he saw the endless row of prison cars and realized that the emperor had escorted the Jiangxia King's wife and family, all the ministers under the Jiangxia King, and the whole family into the capital to kill all the rebels and eradicate them.

A total of 2000 people were killed. The execution ground in the suburbs of Beijing was soaked with blood. The executioner's knife was sharpened several times. Dozens of people who were identified as the chief culprits were quartered by five horses.There were even dozens of children targeted for execution.

"This is too cruel!" Zhang Yuqing was so shocked that the veil fell off.

Lu Wei hugged her, put Zhang Yuqing's head on his chest, and sighed softly.

Even though he had seen too many battlefields with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Lu Wei was horrified when he thought of today's execution ground. Although the battlefield was cruel, it was a fight between soldiers. No real soldier would massacre unarmed innocent women and children.

But Emperor Anping did just that.

The King of Jiangxia conspired to rebel, so it would be enough to kill the relevant people. Many of the targets of today's execution are innocent people, who lost their lives after being implicated by the King of Jiangxia.

Lu Wei hugged Zhang Yuqing and said in her ear: "If something unexpected happens to me..."

Zhang Yuqing immediately looked up at him and said angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Lu Wei curled his lips and kissed her cheek, "The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings. If something unexpected happens to me, and I leave you mother and son first, the emperor will never let you go. If he issues an edict If you are forced to return to the capital, you will make Lu Zhao your young master. You will be in charge, and Mr. Lin and the others will assist you."

He believed that Zhang Yuqing had the ability to support Liangzhou, and he would never let Zhang Yuqing's mother and son fall into the hands of Emperor Anping.

Emperor Anping was so cruel to innocent people who were implicated, let alone their family, who he regarded as a thorn in his side!
Today's incident of prison execution made him completely determined. When the day comes when he is an orphan and a widowed mother, he would rather do the opposite than be a fish on the chopping board!

And he also believed that he was not the only one among the feudal officials and vassal kings who had this idea.

Emperor Anping wanted to use brutal means to scare the officials, but it obviously backfired.

Zhang Yuqing leaned into Lu Wei's solid and warm arms, listened to Lu Wei's steady heartbeat, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "You'll be fine."

"How do you know?" Lu Wei chuckled, "Can't you let me go?"

Zhang Yuqing raised his head, put his arms around Lu Wei's neck, gently stroked Lu Wei's handsome eyebrows, and emphasized: "You will really be fine."

You are the hero of this world, and the story of this world has not reached its finale yet, so you will definitely be fine.Zhang Yuqing said silently in his heart.

At dusk, Lu Wei took Zhang Yuqing to the palace.

At this time, the ministers and various vassal kings were entering the palace for a banquet. In order to see the honor of these foreign officials and vassal kings, the people in the capital waited by the roadside early.

Lu Wei was riding on the horse and Zhang Yuqing was sitting in the carriage.As soon as he reached the street, Zhang Yuqing heard bursts of lively shouts. The girls and wives on the roadside looked at Lu Wei with blushing faces.

Lu Wei had a cold and bored look on his face, as if the onlookers owed him 800 taels of silver, but he couldn't help it because he had a good-looking face, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, plus the noble and luxurious second-grade clothes on his body The purple robe is enough to offset the negative points for having a bad expression.

Some brave women even took off the sachets they were wearing and threw them at Lu Wei.

Zhang Yuqing covered her mouth and watched as Lu Wei impatiently stretched out his hand to deflect the sachet that was about to hit his arms.

However, it became even more lively now, as if a switch had been turned on, and all of a sudden, handkerchiefs, sachets, jade pendants, and hairpins were flying towards Lu Wei.The frightened soldiers of Lu Wei quickly surrounded Lu Wei and blocked him tightly.

I'm afraid there's a cold arrow or something stuck in the middle of these handkerchiefs, sachets, and jade pendants.

Zhang Yuqing was laughing so much in the carriage.

When we got to the street at the entrance of the palace, there were soldiers guarding the street. They dispersed the crowd watching the excitement and then it became quiet.

Lu Wei got off his horse and helped Zhang Yuqing get out of the carriage.

Zhang Yuqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I have only heard of my father riding horses through the streets and throwing fruits and carts when he was the top pick in high school. I didn't expect that my husband is even more charming today."

Lu Wei laughed and held Zhang Yuqing's hand through his wide sleeves, "Jealous again!"

Hey, Mrs. Lu loves him so much!

The two of them walked towards the palace hand in hand.

At this moment, the sun has just set, and the afterglow is still shining on the earth. Countless exquisite and luxurious palace lanterns have already been lit in the palace. Every road and every hall corridor is lit up.

Each palace lantern is decorated with jade wind chimes and gold wire pendants. When the wind blows, they make a crisp sound, and the gold wire pendants flutter in the wind.

The trees, pillars and even the white marble railings were covered with flowers made of silk and satin, which reflected the light of the palace lanterns and were beautiful.

The maids who came and went were also dressed up beautifully, with brocades and colorful silks wrapped around their arms, rouge and gouache, bright silk flowers on their temples, the bracelets on their wrists ringing loudly, each of them smiling sweetly, and their eyebrows affectionate.

Many of them secretly glanced at Lu Wei.

This gentleman is young, so handsome, and wears the purple robe of a second-grade official. Who else could he be if he wasn't the legendary general Lu Wei, the god of war who defeated the barbarians three thousand miles away?
