The Marquis Is Innocent

Luoyang Nangong, in the Taiji Hall, Wei Shao faces the south to discuss matters.

It has been several days since Luoyang was captured, but Xingxun's allies were all cut off.

Although the curfew has not yet been lifted, due to the effective comfort and the fact that the army has never entered the city gate one step, the panic atmosphere in the city gradually began to disappear.

Since yesterday, markets that have been closed for several days have also reopened one after another.

While the people gradually returned to normal life, they were all waiting for one thing: Wei Shao became emperor.

Not only did the people in Luoyang guess so, but some of Wei Shao's subordinates were also eagerly waiting.

Those court officials who voted for Wei Shao after the city broke, have been making joint speeches in the past few days.

Although the content is colorful and each has its own merits, there is only one central meaning: I think that Wei Shao deserves his name and should face the south and be honored.

Gongsun Yang once said to Wei Shao privately: "Those who surrendered to ministers, who were famous ministers Shuo Lao, but they first served Liu Tong and then worshipped Xing Xun, and when they saw the lord attacking Luoyang, they saw the wind turn the rudder again. The lord should not be heard. God, it's too early, it's not a good opportunity."

Zhu Zeng also advised: "Le Zhenggong has been imitating Xing Xun's heart long ago, and I advise the lord to wait patiently for a while. If I don't expect, Le Zhenggong will secretly plan to become emperor when he returns to Hanzhong this time. With his dragon robe added to his body, the lord will step on the honor of Luoyang with his feet, and then he will be the ninth fifth, which is even more justifiable."

In the Taiji Hall at the moment, the debate on whether he should take advantage of the situation to become emperor is still going on.

But Wei Shao has wandered too far.

The day before yesterday, he received a message from Yuyang.

Xiao Qiao gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a daughter for him.

Grandmother named Philip.

Philip, forget your worries.

Wei Shao imagined the scene of his daughter's soft little body being held in his arms, and his eyes became gentle unconsciously.

The corners of his lips twitched slightly.

The generals finally noticed the mysterious smile on the prince's face.

They stopped and looked at him.

Wei Shao came back to his senses, met the left and right eyes staring at him, moved his shoulders, frowned and said, "Although Xing Xun died, Liu Yan proclaimed emperor in Langya, and Lezheng was firmly in Hanzhong, and there are still people in the south. Wu Yue and Changsha. I just captured a mere Luoyang, how can I sit back and relax and become emperor? This matter does not need to be discussed in the future!"

Everyone was silent, and then said in unison: "My lord is wise, I will obey."

After the discussion, Wei Shao left Gongsun Yang and first asked about the control and defense situation of Jingzhao, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng.

Gongsun Yang is somewhat inexplicable.

These three places defend Luoyang and are geographically important. On the night of the capture of Luoyang, he immediately dispatched troops, quickly occupied within three days, and firmly controlled the three dungeons.

They are all soldiers personally ordered by Junhou himself.

I don't know why he suddenly seemed to have forgotten, so he left himself to ask this.

He was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he only said: "Don't worry, my lord, the three places have been firmly controlled, and there will be no loss."

Wei Shao nodded: "Sir, I have always been relieved to do things. That being the case, I have nothing to do here for the time being, so I will go back to Yuyang first."

After finishing speaking, seeing Gongsun Yang looking at him, he said, "It doesn't really matter. I just received a letter two days ago, and the lady gave birth to a daughter for me."

He looked light.

"She misses me a bit." He coughed lightly and said again, his expression a little unnatural.

Only then did Gongsun Yang understand Junhou's thoughts.

Holding back his smile, he said, "Congratulations to the lord for winning the Pearl! Not to mention that the lady told Missing, but the lady didn't say, this battle has been fought for so long, and now it's a big victory, it's time for the lord to go back and have a look! Don't worry, my lord, I am here!"

Wei Shao smiled: "Mr. Lao is here."

After explaining the rest of the matter, when Gongsun Yang left, he immediately called Lei Ze, ordered a dozen people, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something.

Wei Shao hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and called Wei Liang over.

Screening back, only Wei Liang was left.

"Master called me, what's your order?"

Seeing that Jun Hou was silent for a long time, it seemed that what he wanted to say next was quite difficult to say, which is usually rare, so he said again: "If the lord has something to do, as long as you order it!"

Wei Shao finally said, "I want to send you to Dongjun."

Wei Liang was startled.

"If I remember correctly, the seventh day of the first month of this month is the fortieth birthday of Qiaoping, the Duke of Dongjun County. You can go there for me, remember, in the name of the lady, give him a birthday gift. I will pass it on. Let me tell the Duke of the county that the lady has given birth to a daughter, and both mother and daughter are safe."

Wei Liang was surprised.

But he quickly said, "Yes."

"The reason why I sent you here is because you have been to Dongjun before and met the Qiao family..." Wei Shao explained.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do things properly," Wei Liang said with a smile. "It's time to say goodbye to Mr. Qiao Luli. It just so happened that General Li just mentioned Mr. Qiao to me a few days ago. , I happened to meet him and see how his martial arts are today."

"You haven't gone back for a long time, haven't you? I remember that you were in Bingzhou for a whole year last year, and you fought such a battle again, and now you can relax a little. After Dongjun comes back, I will let you go on vacation. You can also go back to see your aunt. And Mrs.

Wei Liang had not returned to Yuyang for a year and a half.

Hearing this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Wei Shao smiled and nodded: "There is nothing else to do. When I prepare the birthday gift, I will ask someone to send it to you."

…

The next day, in the dim light of the morning, a column of more than ten horses rushed out from the east gate of Luoyang, heading north along the gallop, and disappeared without a trace.

Wei Shao set foot on the road to return to the north.

Fighting and fighting fiercely, he could not tolerate too much Yunmeng leisure.

But the longing for her, and the ecstasy of knowing that he had become a father, could no longer be restrained from the moment he saw the letter from the family. From the bottom of the heart of this man with a steel will, overflowing came out.

So much so that he felt that he could not delay any longer.

Le Zhenggong, Liu Yan, and Emperor...

These things can also be temporarily slowed down.

He must now see her and their daughter as soon as possible.

Otherwise he can't take it anymore.

At the same time he was heading north in the morning, Wei Liang also brought a group of entourage and gifts on the road to Yanzhou.

The birthday gift for Qiao Ping was also carefully selected by Wei Shao last night.

A pair of jade dragon pendants, a pair of high-footed gold cups, ten kesi brocades woven with splendid patterns of flowing clouds, longevity and Changle Mingguang, and two famous silk paintings.

For what he did, even though Wei Liang people had already gone to Yanzhou, Wei Shao was still a little uneasy and even ashamed when he first started.

As if he had completely betrayed his father and brother, he felt that he had no courage to step into the temple.

However, Qiao Ping did not directly participate in that war.

He was her father, his daughter's maternal grandfather.

Now that she has married Xiao Qiao, and now she has given birth to her own child, the spirit of her father and brother in heaven must be able to understand him.

Moreover, this should also be the wishes of the grandmother.

He knew that his grandmother should have been wishing that he wouldn't have to dwell so much on the hatred of the past.

He needs to learn to be a grandmother with a broad heart.

After setting out on the road, Wei Shao kept comforting himself like this.

Finally, as the distance from Yuyang shortened day by day, the contradiction in his heart was completely overshadowed by another emotion that he was about to see her and his daughter.

He no longer thinks about anything else, and only feels incomparable joy and anticipation in his heart.

…

At night, he finally reached Renqiu City.

If you don't stop, there are only two days left before Yuyang.

Wei Shao felt that he could continue to drive forward.

But lightning ripped through the night sky, and thunder rolled dully overhead.

It rained.

Lei Ze and the others also showed a tired look on their faces.

Wei Shao ordered to stop and stayed in Renqiu Yiting that night.

All the way is light. When he got here, he also ordered Yicheng not to disturb Ren Qiuling. He only stayed for one night and continued on the road tomorrow morning.

Lei Ze brought the box in and placed it on the desk.

The box is more than a foot high and wide, and the surface of the box is decorated with a whole piece of python skin with beautiful lines. There is some weight, and Lei Ze does not know what is inside.

Wei Shao also felt tired.

But the spirit is very excited.

He was on the bed in the post house late at night, closing his eyes and listening to the sound of muffled thunder rolling across the sky in the distance.

The raindrops fell on the tiles above his head.

In this situation, he couldn't help but recall that night last year.

It was also such a thunderstorm night that he chased her to the post house alone, and finally caught up with her.

In front of her, he succumbed.

And she was equally happy with him.

That night, she was so charming and beautiful under him, until now when he remembered it, the feeling of spirit shaking and ethereal, as if it hadn't dissipated.

He is like ascending to the Fairy Mountain Qiong Pavilion, a very beautiful world.

Wei Shao's mouth was dry from the memory.

I can't be myself for a while, I just want to get up and start the road again.

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window. In an instant, the blue electric light illuminated the walls of the post house, and also illuminated the python box placed on the desk and the sword next to Wei Shao.

A deafening thunderstorm followed, bursting, and the beams seemed to sway slightly.

In the gap of the tile roof, a layer of dust rustled.

The door was suddenly slammed.

After the thunder, the hurried knock on the door sounded particularly harsh.

Wei Shao opened his eyes, jumped off the bed, and quickly opened the door.

"My lord, it's not good! I just arrived in Luoyang and reported that General Wei Liang and his party were attacked outside the city gate of Dongjun. General Wei was seriously injured and was killed by luck, and all his followers were killed. Qiao Yue and Qiao Ping followed. Jointly announce the people's book and lead Yanzhou to serve Liu Yan!"

Wei Shao's figure froze.

Another flash of lightning fell, illuminating his white face like a ghost.

He turned sharply and drew his sword.

A dark light flashed by, and the python box on the table was cut into two pieces.

The Pearl of the East China Sea, the Kunlun Dynasties. The array of rare and precious treasures, following his sword's edge, rolled to the ground in all directions.

This was the night before Wei Shao left, when he walked out of the Luoyang Treasury.

Seeing something pleasing to the eye, he put it in.

At that time, he thought to himself, even if he couldn't coax Manman's favor, he could bring it back to play with his daughter.

"Lord!"

Lei Ze looked at the stiff back of his sword, and called out uneasy.

Wei Shao slowly turned around and put the sword back into the scabbard.

"Let's go and go back to Luoyang."

His tone had turned calm, his expression gloomy and indifferent.
