After the ministers left the side hall, they went to the official office to deal with official business, and Hua'an walked in the direction of Chu Garlic's bedroom, when he was usually fine, Hua'an often went to meet Chu Garlic in the name of the game, for this reason, he was particularly familiar with the scenery of the road along the way, every tree, every flower, and even a certain branch had a few more leaves, Hua'an could keenly feel it. :3wし

Although it is a cold winter, most of the trees in the palace are evergreen, and there are even many plums that only bloom in winter, so there is no sense of desolation at all.

Next to a plum, Hua An stopped, and carefully looked at the mark left by the last passing, when next to the mark was a budding flower bone, but now next to the mark is a blooming plum, the stamen exudes a charming fragrance.

"I haven't been here for many days, and the flowers and bones from the last time have actually bloomed." Hua An muttered to himself, and his mood seemed particularly comfortable.

This plum tree is not far from Chu Garlic's dormitory, and at this moment, Chu Garlic happened to come out for a walk, and saw Hua'an who was watching Lapberry, and walked over gently.

"If the king of the north likes these plum blossoms, why not fold a few and take them back to enjoy them slowly." Chu Garlic said softly.

When Hua An heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Chu Garlic.

At this time, Chu Garlic's face was slightly red, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and her complexion looked very good, as if Sima Dan's serious illness had not affected her too much.

"Weichen saw the Queen Mother, but I didn't know that the Queen Mother arrived, and I missed the distance." Hua An clasped his fists and saluted.

"No courtesy, the king of the north is here to learn chess skills with this palace. Or something else. Chu Garlic asked bluntly.

Hua An pondered for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Wechen has important matters to discuss with the Queen Mother, but the chess skills should not be affected, and Wechen can learn chess skills with the Queen Mother." While deliberating on important matters. ”

"Okay, please!" Chu Lianzi made an inviting gesture and turned around and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

Hua An strode behind Chu Lianzi and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

"Queen Mother, the chess pieces are ready." A palace maid brought the game of Go and placed it on the table in the dormitory.

Chu Garlic nodded. With a blank face, he ordered: "You all stand down!" You are not allowed to enter without an order from the main palace. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." The ladies of the palace received the order, exited the dormitory in turn, and closed the door.

At the moment when the door closed, Hua An habitually glanced in the direction of the door. And at the moment when Hua An turned his face, Chu Garlic threw himself into Hua An's arms, closed his eyes, and panted slightly.

"Queen Mother," Hua An turned around, looked at Chu Garlic on his chest, and kissed him on the forehead.

Chu Lianzi opened his eyes slightly and hugged Hua'an tightly. reproached: "Why haven't you come for so long, people are thinking about you every day." ”

This is Chu Garlic's true words, in the palace of Nuoda. All the palace maids and eunuchs are subordinates, and when they talk to Chu Garlic, they are all submissive, and Chu Garlic has any confidant words, and they can't say it to them, for this reason. Although you are the queen mother, she has a noble status. But Chu Garlic's heart is extremely lonely, lonely and wants to go crazy. Not only is she lonely inside, but her body is even more lonely.

At this moment, she hugged Hua'an tightly, and the emptiness and loneliness in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she felt a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

"Brother Hua'an, hold me tight." Chu Garlic muttered quietly.

Looking at Chu Garlic's expression that was different from her usual expression, Hua An seemed to understand something, although she seemed to ignore Sima Dan's condition, and didn't even go to the dormitory to visit the sick Sima Dan, but this does not show that her heart is not bitter, Sima Dan is the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, the child is seriously ill and about to die, it is impossible for him not to be sad and sad, but it is useless to be sad and sad, she should leave, she will leave after all, she has become numb, this weak child is often seriously ill, which has made her feel helpless.

The sick Sima Dan must have a very bad complexion, Chu Lianzi didn't want to see Sima Dan's appearance when he was not good, so she didn't go to the palace to visit Sima Dan, and pretended to be strong in front of the palace maids and eunuchs to maintain her status as the queen mother.

It is very painful to pretend to be strong, and at this moment, Chu Garlic threw herself into Hua An's arms, and finally got rid of this painful feeling and found a different kind of satisfaction.

"Queen Mother, now that the emperor is seriously ill, the prince ......" Hua An looked at Chu Garlic, and just said a few words, he was covered by Chu Garlic.

"It's good not to talk about it now." Chu Garlic said, hugging Hua'an even harder.

Hua An understood, squatted down slightly, picked up Chu Garlic's legs, hugged Chu Garlic in his arms, and strode to the inner room of the dormitory.

The pink light gauze slowly fell, and Hua An's strong body pressed heavily on Chu Lianzi's body, and set off a storm in the small space of Fang Yuanzhangxu.

An hour later, the sky has begun to darken, but Chu Garlic's bedroom is still full of the breath of spring, Chu Garlic is lying lazily on Hua'an's side, stretching out her pink arm, stroking Hua'an's face, her eyes are full of appreciation.

This time, Hua An worked extra hard, which made her feel a great sense of satisfaction, but Hua An was tired and fell asleep at the moment, and let out a slight snoring sound.

Looking at Hua An's tired appearance, Chu Lianzi couldn't bear to wake him up, anyway, without her order, the palace maids and eunuchs outside the door would not dare to enter the room, besides, these palace maids and eunuchs already knew what was going on inside, just that it was good to know this kind of thing, and it was absolutely impossible to say it, otherwise, it was very likely to be killed.

After another half an hour, Hua An relaxed, opened his eyes, and collided with Chu Lianzi's pair of charming eyes.

"Queen Mother, Weichen accidentally fell asleep and was rude." Hua An said apologetically.

Chu Garlic sneered and said softly: "This palace likes your fake and serious appearance." After speaking, he pinched Hua An's face.

Hua Anhan laughed twice, and suddenly found that the room was much darker, as if it was already dark, not like. It's innocently dark.

"Queen Mother, it's not too early, Weichen should leave, otherwise he will ......" Hua Anxin said a little nervously.

Hearing this, Chu Garlic pursed her mouth. Said softly: "Don't go, stay with me more." Saying that, he stopped Hua An and didn't let Hua An leave.

Hua An had no choice but to stay and accompany Chu Garlic, and took this opportunity to whisper: "Queen Mother." The imperial doctor said that the emperor's condition was very serious, and he was afraid of ......"

"I'm afraid I can live for two or three months at most, right? The imperial doctor has already told the mourning family. Chu Garlic said softly.

Seeing that Chu Lianzi already knew about Emperor Sima Dan's condition, Hua An sighed and said, "Queen Mother, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Since the emperor is about to ascend to heaven, the prince must be determined as soon as possible and announced to the world in order to stabilize the society of the Great Jin. ”

"Prince, there is a dignified Northern King to maintain the government, do you still need a prince? Haven't you thought about going one step further and becoming an emperor? Chu Garlic stared at Hua An's eyes and said.

"The Queen Mother should not be like this. Weichen has no idea of usurping the throne, since the emperor already has a dragon heir, he should naturally be made the crown prince. After the emperor returns to heaven, he can be crowned a great treasure. Huaan Zhengse said.

Chu Lianzi looked at Hua An and said, "Is this your true words?" ”

"Queen Mother, every sentence of Weichen is true, and there is no half-truth, waiting for the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. I also hope that the Queen Mother can listen to the government and help the new emperor control the government. Huaan Zhengse said.

Chu Lianzi held Hua'an's hands. He said softly: "This palace is just a woman's family, when the time comes." I also hope that the king of the north can assist the government and discuss the national policy with the mourning family. As he spoke, he glanced at Hua An

Hua An understood, nodded and said: "Definitely, Weichen will definitely do his best to assist the new emperor and share the worries of the queen mother." After speaking, he took Chu Garlic in his arms.

Another hour passed, and the sky was completely dark, so Chu Garlic was satisfied and let Hua'an leave, put on his clothes, and personally sent Hua'an away.

"The Queen Mother stays, and Weichen will learn chess skills with the Queen Mother another day." Hua'an hugged his fists and saluted, so that Chu Garlic didn't have to send it.

"The king of the north will go slowly, and the palace will not send it, and a few of you will send it to the king of the north." Chu Lianzi ordered softly.

Suddenly, several little eunuchs sent Hua An out of the palace with palace lights.

After leaving the palace, Hua An, escorted by his own soldiers, returned to the North Palace, and immediately asked his henchmen to prepare for the drafting of the edict to canonize the crown prince, and then slept in the palace.

On the second day, the edict canonizing the premature baby Sima Yu as the crown prince was read out in the palace hall, and then the matter was announced to the world in the form of a proclamation.

Sima Yu was canonized as the crown prince, and the happiest person was Sima Yu's biological mother Liu Guifei, who was only a concubine, but he greatly improved his status because he gave birth to a son to the emperor.

However, Sima Dan's serious illness made Liu Guifei a little unhappy, after all, once Sima Dan died of illness, he would be a widow, and the widow's life was sad and empty and lonely, and she couldn't help but sigh a little at the thought of spending the rest of her life in the palace lonely.

And the people of Luoyang City, after learning about this incident, are very happy, the emperor canonized Sima Yu as the crown prince is a great joy, since it is a happy event, it is naturally worth being happy.

Originally, those people of insight who asserted that Hua'an would usurp the throne were all speechless, and the entire Luoyang City seemed unusually stable and peaceful, and every household was celebrating.

In the vicinity of Jicheng in Hebei, between the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army and the 400,000 coalition troops of the Yan State, a fierce tug-of-war was launched, both sides were looking for an opportunity to give each other a fatal blow, but for more than a month, both sides did not find this opportunity, only carried out a number of small-scale battles, among them, the number of victories of the Jin army exceeded that of the Yan coalition army, and the results achieved were more brilliant.

"General, our army already has the upper hand, why don't you concentrate all your strength and launch a fatal blow to the Yan army." Zhang Hao suggested loudly that the cavalry warriors under his command had long been impatient, so the willingness to fight was the strongest.

Xie Ai waved his hand and said with a straight face: "The field strength of the enemy army may not be weaker than our army, if it is a full-scale decisive battle, it will definitely end in defeat and defeat for both sides, so is it the wish of the general." ”

Obviously, Xie Ai not only wanted to defeat the Yan coalition army, but at the same time, he didn't want to pay too much price, so as not to lose too many soldiers and horses, so that the Great Jin would lose his vitality.

"The general is right, at present, our army is constantly transporting grain and grass, and 100,000 reinforcements can arrive in a few days, so why should we rush to a decisive battle with the Yan army? The longer it drags on, the more favorable the situation will be for our army. Yang An Zhengse said, obviously, he fully supported Xie An, and indicated that there was no need to rush to fight.

"The last general also supports the general." Huan Chong also opened his mouth to speak.

Seeing that everyone supported Xie Ai's proposal, Zhang Hao had no choice but to give up and stand in the big tent unhappy.

"Report, General, the 100,000 reinforcements led by General Zhuge are less than thirty miles away from the camp." At this moment, a pro-soldier reported loudly.

"Oh, General Zhuge 's soldiers and horses, they arrived so soon, much faster than expected!" Xie Ai said in surprise.

"General, in order to support the front as soon as possible, General Zhuge has left behind his heavy soldiers and horses a few days ago, and asked his elite soldiers to bring enough dry food for three days, and they came day and night, so that the freedom of action is much faster." The pro-soldier said.

When Xie Ai heard this, he nodded appreciatively, looked at the generals in the big tent, and said: "In order to support us as soon as possible, General Zhuge rushed here day and night, so that the number of soldiers and horses of our army will reach 500,000, and it will be more certain to deal with the coalition forces on the Yan side." ”

"General, when the reinforcements arrive, our army will immediately attack and annihilate the elite of the Yan army in one fell swoop." Zhang Oyster suddenly became interested again, and said with a straight face.

Xie Ai thought for a moment, and said, "The generals have their own plans, and the generals only need to obey orders at any time." ”

"Yes, General." The generals replied loudly.

In the evening of the same day, Zhuge Xiong and his 100,000 elite troops arrived at the camp of Xie Ai's army, and Zhuge Xiong himself immediately went to the Chinese army's tent to meet Xie Ai, and introduced the basic situation of the reinforcements to Xie Ai.

At this time, Xie Ai also thought about the direction of the attack, that is, Luxian in the east of Jicheng, where the 80,000 troops of Fuyu Rulou and Hao Qian and 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan State were stationed.

The deployment of the Yan State coalition army is strong in the middle and weak on both sides, inside and outside Jicheng, Yan State deployed 200,000 main forces, commanded by Murong Ke personally, Changping County in the west deployed 50,000 Dai Guo soldiers and horses and 50,000 Yan State soldiers and horses, commanded by Tuoba Liuyun, the general of Dai Guo, although there are only 20,000 Yan troops in Luxian County in the east, but the command of 100,000 troops is in the hands of Murong Ba, the general of Yan State, so, Murong Ke, Murong Ba, Tuoba Liuyun three people, each stabilized their positions, constituting a solid defense line of the Yan State coalition army
