"Aunt Ying......" The Empress Dowager felt speechless as soon as she called out.

In any case, Aunt Ying could no longer hear her call, and she could no longer hear the familiar voice of promise. In front of the Immortal Palace, she may still have a wisp of remnant soul left here, and the Queen Mother specially asked you to move a locust tree and bury it on Aunt Ying's body. Because she heard that even if the ghost of the locust tree book case is a ghost, she must stay by her side, so that it is good for people who have dreamed of it all her life.

"The Empress Dowager!" Ling'er silently appeared beside the Empress Dowager like a tanuki.

"Help the old man to take a walk in the courtyard in front of the palace." The Empress Dowager said weakly, for this huge empire. She felt that she was becoming more and more powerless, and now she had to go under the old locust tree and talk to the deceased people and gods to untie the knot.

"Nuo" Ling'er responded carefully, and whenever the Empress Dowager was irritable, she would sit quietly under the old locust tree. The palace man on duty once said that someone had seen Aunt Ying under the locust tree.

Ling'er couldn't forget Aunt Ying's laughter that day, and a spade of dirt was sprinkled into the pit. From the top of her feet to her chest, there was not a trace of tears in her eyes. It was full of lightness, as if a person who had been running for a long time could finally sit down and rest for a while.

The dirt went over her head, and the dirt in the pit moved little by little. The old locust tree pressed up and covered it.

The withered palms caressed the equally dry bark, and the attendants brought in a chaise longe. Ling'er helped the Empress Dowager sit down, and then left quietly. The Empress Dowager likes to stay here alone, and Ling'er is also a little afraid of here. After all, it was she who saw Aunt Ying buried under the locust tree.

"You're here. You're right. Those people are all straw bales, and they lose to Yun Xiao when they make money, and they still have to lose to Yun Xiao when they fight. The Empress Dowager lay down, and muttered dreamily in her mouth.

"Lu Jing was arrested, and Dou Yuan was also arrested. Why are all the people in the court so hasty, but fortunately, Dou Ying went to Longyou to fight against Donghu. Otherwise, the old body really doesn't know how to survive this crisis. ”

"Grandma, I have entrusted Yan Sicong to go to Jimo to go to sea......" Liu Che's voice suddenly sounded beside him, but there was no trace of surprise on the face of the Empress Dowager.

"Forget it, let's make peace. Gaozu still has the humiliation of being close to his relatives. Let's just restore a qiē to its original state. Ay! Your father wanted to kill him several times. It's hateful that the old body was lost at that time. Stop your father, or you wouldn't be in the woe you have today.

You have to take this as a warning, don't use too many talents in the court. Use more mediocrity, because these mediocrity can't do even such a thing as rebellion. And someone like Yun Xiao who has the ability. The rebellion was also impressive. Let us have no choice. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed. She regretted a little that she didn't follow Liu Qi's wishes and killed Yun Xiao, a kid. Now this grandson, I'm afraid it's not as good as his old son. Use more stupid people, and once these stupid people rebel one day. It's better to suppress some.

"Grandma doesn't have to worry too much, knowing how to make good use of your skills is a necessary means to be a human king. Capable people can use it, but they also have to do it. It seems that a person like Yunhou wants to use him and put a dragon head on him. Now that he's gone, he can't wear it even if he wants to. Only by strengthening the strength of my big man will I be able to figure it out in the future.

Fortunately, Yunhou's power is still small, otherwise this battle may shake the foundation of my Han Dynasty. I hope Master Yan won't disappoint me this time, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten to pieces. ”

"Humph! You're still young, and you don't know that everyone is actually a play. It's like this Aunt Ying, who has been by her old body for decades. In the end, he deceived the old body, and was willing to be sent by the Yun family for a way out. You also have to be careful, the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart.

The old body has seen a lifetime of people in this life. There is never a mistake, even if you are blind, there is rarely a mistake. Because the old body is looking at it with his heart, but now that he is old, his mental strength is not enough. It's up to you! ”

The Empress Dowager leaned back on the chaise longue, her expression full of exhaustion. Maybe the world is about to be in chaos again, whether it is in the court or among the people, there are demons.

That Dong Zhongshu, he threw him into the wild boar pen and still survived. There are also Zhang Tang and Sang Hong Yang, and now the little emperor will also cultivate his own team. The gold custom that Wang Huanxin recognized, because the frame was not compliant, should have been smashed by Zhang Tang.

Sang Hongyang is also a good player in collecting money, and the two-color ball makes his business impressive. I heard that he had reached Luoyang, and even the old gambling stalls of the Luan family were squeezed lightly.

Young people are always full of vitality, it's good to be young! When I was young, I followed Empress Lu, and I was really ...... at that time

Liu Che didn't listen to a word of the Empress Dowager's next words, she was immersed in the Weiyang Palace in the Lu Hou era. At that time, she was surrounded by many sisters, as well as ...... Aunt Ying.

A round of Xuanyue hung high in the sky, and the wind and sand at the border had not yet risen. But the night was already quite cold, and Dou Ying stood on the city tower. tightened the cloak on his body and stared worriedly at the grassland in the distance.

There were so many sparks that they were like stars in the sky. The scout told him that there were at least 200,000 horses in Donghu. At first he didn't believe it, but now he does.

I didn't expect that the Yun family already had such a force outside the Saiwai, and they could easily mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses. Although the Donghu people are not as strong as the Huns, the 200,000 people do not know that they can stop the general who came in a hurry to conquer the west.

Wolf smoke on all sides, beacon fire everywhere. It seems that the world of the Han Dynasty is about to be chaotic again, and I really can't imagine that the hairy boy back then would actually set off this monstrous wave. If he knew that there was today, he should have slaughtered this kid in Luoyang back then.

"General, you really shouldn't have come to this dangerous place. If the 200,000 troops in Donghu are killed, they will not be able to defend against it at all with our city walls that are several feet high! You should go back to the Chinese army tomorrow, if you have any mistakes here. My subordinates really can't afford it! ”

The guard Deng Tong saw that Dou Ying had no intention of going down the city tower, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"No, they've been here for almost a month. I definitely won't attack it tomorrow, and I always have no bottom in my heart if I don't look at it honestly. If the Donghu people attack, you will bear the brunt here. Why is this city defense so lax, has it not been repaired for so many years? ”

"The general didn't know that the conscripts were all sent to Hetao to repair the Great Wall. I have been doing business with Dong Huguang for many years, and I have received soft money in public and private affairs. All the minds are drilled into the eyes of money, where is the mind to build the city wall.

In the three years since he was subordinate, he has not repaired the city defenses once. Originally, an urn city was to be built, but it was discussed for several years and no construction started. Ay! What a mistake! ”

"Forget it, don't say that the county order's house has been copied?" Dou Ying didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer, he knew the so-called misguided country. In fact, it is several brothers of his Dou family, as well as Cheng Shi, who used to be a slave of the Dou family, and a general in the army from time to time.

Over the years, the volume of trade between Donghu and the Han has surged. Cotton, cattle and sheep, raisins, cantaloupe, wine...... These things flowed into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty in a steady stream. The Dou family will naturally not let go of this land that is making money every day, and the local county order is a domestic slave of the Dou family.

The annual tax revenue, except for a part to pay the expenses of the imperial court. Most of it all went into the hands of interest groups centered on the Dou family. Everyone who is greedy for money is greedy and red-eyed, where do they still have the heart to build city defenses. I'm afraid that even if it is built, I am afraid that most of it will be corrupted by these guys who fill their own pockets.

The country is already like this, and the county orders here are still greedy. Yesterday, Donghu traders were forced to pay tariffs ten times more than the imperial court's regulations. made the Donghu army ready to move, and Dou Ying was so angry that his head smoked. killed the slave on the spot and ordered Deng Tong to raid his home.

"If you go back to the general, you should really go and see it. The subordinate Yu Lu is 800 stones, and according to the etiquette system, this official position is not low. can look at the three hundred stone county commander's family, the subordinates are really eye-opening. There are dozens of silver balls in the cellar alone, and there are countless copper coins. A lot of copper coins were rusted together, as if they hadn't been touched for many years.

Anyway, according to the subordinates, even if it is five lifetimes, they can't earn so much money. I used to only hear that this pass is so rich that you can make your pants oily when you fart. When I saw it today, it was true. ”

Deng Tong seemed to be stimulated a lot today, and he opened his mouth to talk endlessly.

"Okay, the Six Yang Leader is hanging there. Even if you have gold and silver, it is difficult to spend, what is the use of earning so much. If you don't bring it with you in life and don't bring it with you, you keep half of it here, and the rest will go to the Chinese army camp.

Although it is a grinding gun, this city defense is related to your life. All work hard to repair, at this time to shed a drop of sweat. In wartime, there is less blood shed, and if the money is not enough, it can be withdrawn from the treasury. In short, before the Donghu people attacked. Strengthen the city defenses as much as possible. ”

"No, this is a major matter related to life, and my subordinates will do their best."

Dou Ying was in the city discussing the construction of city defenses, and the camp of the Donghu people. Ba Zhen was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army eating roast leg of mutton. The fat lamb was grilled over a charcoal fire, and drips of mutton fat were dripping into the fire and bursts of white smoke came out.

"Big brother, it's not good. Just caught a scout, saying that the imperial court sent Dou Ying to Longyou. It's in the city opposite, do we want to ......" A guy with plateau red cheeks rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army with a shout.

Ba Zhen frowned and looked at his younger brother Bayan who rushed in. This kid was born tall and big, but his brain was always lacking strings. Such an important military aircraft, where can he be allowed to shout like this.

"Shut up, how did Daddy teach you when he came?" (To be continued......)
