Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 207 The Queen Mother’s Secret Letter

After Lu Wei went on the expedition, Zhang Yuqing felt a little empty, even though Lu Wei sent her letters every few days.

This was the first time that the two of them had been separated for such a long time since Lu Wei led his troops to suppress the bandits in the barbarian territory last time.

Yuan Qin came over to talk to her. She had already married Zhong He.

It's just that the Zhong family is small, only Zhong He's mother and son. Zhong He's mother is a gentle and sensible woman. After Yuan Qin got married, she continued to be the wife of a public school.

Zhang Yuqing asked her, "Are you really not in contact with Zhang Yucheng?"

Yuan Qin shook his head, "If I contact him, it will only make things difficult for him. He is the son of the Zhang family and will never change in this life."

If things go on in a blur, Zhang Yucheng is still the legitimate son of the Zhang family. In name, Mrs. Zhang's biological son is better than being a bastard.

"Sister, I don't think about food or tea these days, but do you miss your brother-in-law?" Yuan Qin said with a smile.

Zhang Yuqing was startled, "Is it so obvious?"

Yuan Qin covered her mouth and laughed very loudly.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, folded his hands on the skirt, and touched the lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt.

She has been in this world for more than [-] years. She who was once out of place seems to have been assimilated into this world, integrating into it and becoming an ordinary woman who misses her husband.

She almost forgot that she still had her enemy Xiaoyao in this world.

Zhang Yuqing's heart became heavy.

Half a month later, Lu Wei's good news reached Liangzhou.

Jin Yongxiu claimed that he had an army of 70, and included millions of forbidden troops in Beijing. As a result, when the vanguard troops faced Lu Wei's black armor army, they were killed in pieces, and 30 elite soldiers died. They fled, and the remaining 40 troops were too frightened to move.

Millions of Guardsmen could either flee and reenact the same scene as the Deer Guard Rebellion, or they could abandon their armor and surrender.

The Black Armored Army showed the Daxia people who were watching the battle that there was such sophisticated equipment in the world. It turned out that there really was a tiger and wolf army in this world that could defeat a hundred.

King Chenliu led his troops to support on the left wing. Seeing the black-armored army ending the battle as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, he sighed: "Why is it that Hokuriku and Nanjin, Jin Yongxiu has a false reputation, and he is worthy of being compared with Mr. Lu?"

It's okay for Jin Yongxiu's army to rob ordinary people, but when it comes to fighting against a fierce man, it's like a native chicken fighting against a golden eagle, with the only fate of being hunted.

The stainless steel armor of the Black Armored Army is invulnerable. The weapons are still sharp and hard even today, without even curling. The arrows are in unlimited supply. What is even more unbelievable is that one warrior is equipped with two war horses. , the soldiers are all physically strong and powerful. After a fierce battle, no one is tired and sluggish.

King Ba Jun drooled when he saw it. He thought that his army was so poor that they couldn't even carry a spear per person. They ate chaffy vegetables and were skinny and sallow. This time they came just to follow Lu Wei, a fierce man, to gain military merit. He was ashamed, "Master Lu." This army really makes me envious!"

"It's useless to be envious!" King Chen Liu sneered. Just raising the black-armored army that Lu Wei brought to Beijing was already an unimaginable expense.Liangzhou is Lu Wei's base camp, and there must be the same elites left there.

All in all, who among them has the financial resources to support them?
I can only express envy and envy.

"Where did Mr. Lu get so much money?" King Bohai asked.

King Bajun said in surprise: "You don't even know about Qilin Empress?"

After hearing King Ba's description, King Bohai laughed after being shocked, "So, Emperor Taichang's old dog actually pointed out a golden match to Lu Wei!"

Everyone burst out laughing, right?
King Chenliu's fiefdom was the closest to Liangzhou, and he had heard the most and most comprehensive rumors about the Qilin Empress. He touched his chin and said, "She is truly a legendary woman. It's a pity that she has no chance to meet her."

After a big battle, Jin Yongxiu was beaten to pieces and fled back to Jingzhou in a hurry with his remaining troops.Lu Wei and others stayed in the capital to maintain order.

At this time, Lu Dewen came to Liangzhou and wanted to see Duanshu.

Zhang Yuqing heard that Duan Shu didn't want to see him, so he ordered someone to send him to his aunt, but Lu Dewen asked someone to hand Duan Shu a letter, and Duan Shu let him in.

The next day, Duanshu asked someone to invite Zhang Yuqing to talk to her.

When Zhang Yuqing came over, Duan Shu asked someone to serve tea, and kindly pulled Zhang Yuqing to sit next to her.

"You should also know that Lu Wei's father came over and brought some news." Duan Shu said.

Zhang Yuqing asked, "What happened?"

Duan Shu sighed and pointed in the direction of the capital, "The deputy prime minister of the cabinet was colluding with Kim Yong-su. When Jin Yong-su was defeated in the capital, the deputy prime minister opened the treasury and let Jin Yong-su send his troops in to plunder everything."

"Is this happening?" Zhang Yuqing was shocked.

Lu Wei didn't mention this in his letter to her, probably because he felt it had nothing to do with Liangzhou.

"More than 1000 million taels of newly collected tax money this year, along with countless antique jade calligraphy and paintings, as well as Daxia's national jade seal, were all robbed by Jin Yongxiu," Duan Shu said.Zhang Yuqing's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Daxia dynasty, which was riddled with holes, was really at the end of its tether, and some traitors and traitors had been released who would be infamy for thousands of years.

The jade seal of the state is a symbol of the emperor's imperial power. If the young emperor can't even keep the jade seal, who will obey him?

"It's indeed too much." Zhang Yuqing said after careful consideration.

Jin Yongxiu completely broke up with the emperor and wanted to start an independent company.

There was a sarcastic smile on Duan Shu's lips, "The capital is fat and fat and has no power to resist. There is no one in the civil and military circles who can use it. The Queen Mother can also see that the little emperor is like a child holding gold in the market. Any hero from all walks of life who enters the capital can kill the emperor and replace him. Now that Wei'er leads the army, the capital is still stable. When Wei'er is gone, how many days can she and the little emperor survive?"

Zhang Yuqing was silent. In order to put down the rebellion against the King of Jiangxia, most of the elite members of the Imperial Guard had given support to Jin Yongxiu, and Jin Yongxiu took the opportunity to incorporate them into his own private army.

The rest are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or are from related households, and cannot be called combat effectiveness at all.

In other words, the royal family was now unguarded.If someone breaks into the capital after Lu Wei leads his troops away, it's hard to say whether the Queen Mother and the young emperor can survive to rescue them.

"The life of an orphan and a widowed mother is so frightening that she can't sleep at night!" Duan Shu said meaningfully.

Zhang Yuqing thought of Zhang Yuying, who was extremely proud after being chosen as the daughter of Phoenix Life.

At that time, Zhang Yuying was so full of ambition, as if she had all the glory and wealth in the palm of her hand. She probably never thought that she would have such a day of panic.

"Your father-in-law came this time and brought a personal letter from the Queen Mother." Duan Shu said.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Duan Shu in confusion.

Duan Shu looked at Zhang Yuqing with a smile, her tone and expression were very steady, no different from her usual, "The Queen Mother also knows that they cannot secure the throne with their orphans and widowed mothers, so she wants to abdicate the throne to Wei'er."

Zhang Yuqing suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Shu in disbelief.

"What's so strange about this? Wei'er is my biological son, a descendant of our Fang family." Duan Shu said lightly, "We have strength, and with the orthodox bloodline, I can't think of anyone in the world. Who is more suitable for this position than Wei'er?"

After Zhang Yuqing was shocked, he tightened the handkerchief in his hand and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Duan Shu's smile deepened and she said, "You are indeed very smart..."

Zhang Yuqing's heart beat faster. Duan Shu would not talk to her alone for no reason. This condition was probably related to her.

Duan Shu sighed softly, "There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. If you want to get something, you must pay something. The more you want to get, the more you have to pay. But if there is an opportunity, we can do it with the minimum Why not do it if you get the most for the price?"

"Mother, please speak frankly," Zhang Yuqing said.

Duan Shu held Zhang Yuqing's hand, "The queen mother's request is very simple. She wants to marry my son with the dignity of the queen mother, let the little emperor Yongding recognize my son as his father, and give the little emperor Yongding the Zen throne to my son until my son ascends the throne. Later, the young emperor Yongding was granted the title of vassal king."

Zhang Yuqing felt cold and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Duan Shu held it tightly.

"Absurd!" Zhang Yuqing squeezed out two words through his teeth.

Duan Shu stared into Zhang Yuqing's eyes and said without a doubt: "What's so absurd? Who doesn't want the highest position? Who can refuse the No. 1 position in the world? Wei'er is my son, your husband, and you The father of your children! Don’t you want him to go further? This is the best way! The emperor and the queen mother are willing to abdicate without any blood, which shows that my son is the one chosen by God and is the orthodox one! Even in the history books a hundred years later, it will be a beautiful story! "

Zhang Yuqing sneered, "Lu Wei thinks so too?"

"I know you don't want to." Duan Shu smiled and said, "No woman can be a good wife and be willing to give up her position to an outsider and demote her wife to a concubine."

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, stood up, and took a step back, "Then what do you mean by telling me this?"

Duan Shu also stood up, patted Zhang Yuqing's shoulder, sighed and said, "Yuqing, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to hurt you, I really like you."

Zhang Yuqing said nothing and looked at her warily.

"You have made great contributions to the establishment of my son's career, and you are that person's daughter. I really like you." Duan Shu looked at Zhang Yuqing lovingly, as if she was watching a dream of her youth through her. "I often regret that it would be great if such a smart and lovely girl were my biological daughter!"

"Good girl, don't worry, Wei'er and I won't treat you badly." Duan Shu said.

Zhang Yuqing only found it ridiculous and ridiculous, so ridiculous that she could hardly recognize who the person in front of her was.

She once thought that Duan Shu was the mother who was provided by God to provide for her shortcomings, and she truly regarded Duan Shu as her mother, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a joke.

Duan Shu held Zhang Yuqing's shoulders, her expression solemn and full of sincerity, "As long as you nod, the queen's position will always be yours. No matter how noble the queen mother is, she can only be a concubine at most. As long as I am here, no one can get past you. !”
