People all over the world are asking about what happened in Qinchuan. People in Luoyang City of the Wei Dynasty are always paying attention. The survival of a hundred thousand troops is enough to damage the foundation of the country.
It only took two days and two nights for the frontline affairs to be reported to Luoyang.
The scorching summer sun is extremely dazzling as soon as it rises early in the morning. The majestic and simple palaces are built wantonly on the flat ground, and the courtyard of Taiji Palace is wide and flat. It seems difficult for people here to imagine it even after hearing Qin Chuan's description.
What is the scene there?
Dozens of officials in red robes were in the bright and clean east hall. An official read out a report: "The school affairs order Qin Liang led an army of five hundred to the west of Taibai Gate to block the bandit army of tens of thousands of Fei Yi's troops, and the two sides fought fiercely.
In two days and two nights, Qin Liang and his entire army were wiped out and died for the country..."
The Empress Dowager Guo behind the curtain looked a little dull. She had already heard someone talk about this matter beforehand. Now that she heard it again, she still didn't dare to speak, for fear that people would hear her voice was strange. Fortunately, the memorial was still being read, so she didn't have to say anything for the time being.
.
Her eyes were dry, but her throat felt salty and hot, and some liquid flowed along her nose and throat into her stomach, but it didn't appear on her face.
At this time, Queen Mother Guo was very regretful and said that she should have given it to him years ago. After all, he had thought about her so many times. At least it would have given him what he wanted before he died. She thought she could endure it for a while, but she never thought that things would turn out differently.
It became like this.
She was still very angry in her heart. There were so many people in the Wei army, but they only gave Qin Zhongming 500 soldiers. She was also angry with Qin Zhongming. He was so stupid and loyal! All the ministers in the court were planning for themselves. Why should he try to be a hero?
In Queen Mother Guo's mind, Qin Liang's appearance could not help but reappear, with his sincere and loyal scholarly temperament, handsome and upright appearance, and his voice and smile as if they were right in front of him.
After the officials finished reading the report, Empress Dowager Guo tried her best to calm down and said: "If the country wins a scholar, the country will be safe. The imperial court should posthumously grant a title."
She thought of herself, living just for the name she would have after death. Now, all she could do was fight for Qin Liang's name after death. This was the only thing she could do.
No one in the court objected for a while, and Sima Yi didn't say anything. After all, giving an honor to a dead man who died for his country is neither excessive nor will it affect anything.
... In the front hall of the Wang family residence, Wang Lingjun, who had just heard the news, collapsed directly to the ground. Mrs. Xue and others hurriedly supported her. Wang Guang also got up and came over, and a group of people surrounded her.
Among the people in the front hall, only Xuanji did not surround her. Xuanji looked blank and expressionless, as if her heart was empty, and she did not want to think about what the news meant.
Wang Lingjun turned pale and said, "Impossible! He is definitely not that kind of person."
"Alas!" Wang Guang sighed.
Mrs. Xue said: "Please don't be impatient. Sit down first."
Wang Lingjun still shook his head and said: "They must be lying! We are the most important in his heart, not the country and the country, so he can't be willing to leave us behind. He also said that he was loyal and fearless, and was determined to die for his country before facing the enemy, right?
Wrong writing?"
Wang Guang heard this and said hurriedly: "This is a report from the army. Can you still lie to the court about the military situation? Your Majesty cannot humiliate my late husband like this."
Mrs. Xue reminded in a low voice: "Don't talk about this yet."
Wang Lingjun grabbed Wang Guang and said, "Father, please ask again if there is a mistake?"
"Alas..." Wang Guang could only sigh.
After a while, Wang Lingjun may have realized that what happened was true, and finally sat there and cried, with tears all over her Qingli face.
She wasn't crying loudly, she was just sobbing in waves. She completely ignored what others said and just made a slow and dull sound of "woo...woo". The sound was not loud, but it lasted for a long time. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade her.
Unable to persuade him, he seemed to have come back to life and turned into a child who could not be coaxed.
Seeing Wang Lingjun crying, Xuanji was a little envious of her. After all, she was the wife of a well-known media. After her husband died, it was not inappropriate to cry openly in public.
There were so many people trying to persuade Wang Lingjun. After Xuanji heard the news, she silently left the front hall after a while.
She went straight back to the courtyard on the east side of the front hall, passed through the large pavilion where the "Yay Ya Ya" singer practiced her singing, walked along the corridor, and reached the small courtyard surrounded by houses. After entering the bedroom, she walked straight
Sitting on the couch.
The faint "ding-dong" sound of the strings can still be heard outside, as usual, it seems to be a very ordinary day.
After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Xuanji felt a little tired, so she lay down on the couch beside her.
Just after lying down for a while, Bai came in. Bai's footsteps suddenly accelerated, and she came up and pulled Xuanji. Xuanji was made to lie down without any resistance. After her chest was slightly flat, she felt like
A little lighter.
Bai looked into Xuanji's eyes and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking!"
"Oh." Xuan Ji responded.
Bai thought for a while, and finally made a pleasant expression, sat on the edge of the collapse, and said nicely: "No one is messing with your mind now? I want to tell you something, do you know He Yan, the Minister?"
Xuan Ji responded: "I know."
Bai Shi said: "He Shangshu has a nephew who intends to marry us, and the matchmaker is marrying you. At first, their family suspected that you were a concubine, and they were unwilling. Fortunately, He Jun, the son of He Shangshu, helped and tried his best to promote this matter.
He Jun has a very good impression of you and said a lot of good things to his cousin. If we all become relatives in the future, we will have to thank He Jun very much."
Xuan Ji said nothing.
Bai Shi advised: "Everyone is dead, not to mention it is impossible in the first place, so just let it go. He Shangshu married a princess, and the He family has such a powerful family, and I want you to be the first wife, I think it's about the same
Okay, don’t miss it.”
Xuanji still didn't say anything, feeling that she really didn't have the energy to reason.
Seeing this, Mrs. Bai said: "It's fine if you don't object. I'll discuss it with the matchmaker after the matchmaker is chosen."
Xuanji still didn't argue or object, and Bai immediately let out a sigh of relief, with a contented smile on her face.
A day passed in confusion. Xuan Ji went to Wang Lingjun's courtyard the next day. She walked up to the attic, and sure enough, Wang Lingjun was up there with her eyes red and swollen.
The two of them knelt down beside the table and were silent for a while. Xuan Ji said: "Last year here, I sang Moshang Sang and made you dance. I was so happy. It seems like it was yesterday." She looked around and then
He said softly, "Nothing has changed here."
Wang Lingjun responded with a "hmm".
"Forget it." Xuan Ji said dejectedly. She didn't want to think about singing and dancing anymore, or the last sentence, "My smile is beautiful. Don't think too much, the few months go by so fast." She couldn't think about it anymore.
Woke up.
Wang Lingjun suddenly asked: "Do you want to commit suicide?"
Xuan Ji was silent for a while and murmured: "It's not interesting, the time is very difficult. Thinking that there are still so long days, I feel flustered and dare not think about how to pass it by."
Wang Lingjun frowned and said, "Last night I heard my mother talk about the incident between Mrs. Bai and the He family. Didn't I object?"
Xuan Ji said dullly: "I'm too lazy to tell her."
Wang Lingjun sighed and said, "My husband has told me that if I have anything to do, you can come to me to discuss it."
Xuan Ji made a sound from her nose, like a sneer.
Wang Lingjun glanced at her and said, "You will never see anyone alive or dead, so don't worry."
Xuan Ji immediately raised her head, her eyes resting on Wang Lingjun's face.
Wang Lingjun said: "Why are you looking at me like this? I am not crazy. I thought about it carefully for a long time last night. I am with my husband every day. I know him. As long as there is a chance to survive, he will try his best to save his life.
It's not that easy to die. It's completely impossible to be determined to die for the country like the report says. My husband was probably captured by the Shu Han. He would surrender immediately and try to escape back to us. Why doesn't anyone believe me? Father, too.
so."
"Really?" Xuan Ji said in a daze.
Wang Lingjun said quietly: "Don't you know how much he hates us? I have to continue to blackmail Mrs. Bai."
When Ling Jun said this, Xuan Ji felt that her heart seemed to feel warmer, and she nodded hurriedly: "I never want to have anything to do with that person named He. Neither He Yan nor his son are good people."
Wang Lingjun thought for a while and said: "If my husband really dies, I have to bring the body back for burial first. Don't think about committing suicide. I will hide you. If you die in the future, I will find someone to bury you quietly."
Under the coffin, I can justifiably be buried together with my last words. When the three of us were together, we lived so happily."
Xuan Ji thought for a while and asked, "What if Qing dies first?"
