The spring rain soaked everything, and the attics and pavilions of Lu'an City and County were all shrouded in mist and rain. The light in the courtyard was dim. When it rains, the sky will get dark earlier.
The wind flowed into the hall, and the light blue dress on Queen Mother Guo sometimes swayed in the wind, sometimes clinging to her body that had regained its graceful curves. The cool breeze no longer had the sharp coldness, but only had a soft touch.
In the west courtyard, the sound of the piano was tinkling, and the Queen Mother Guo plucked the strings. This piece of music has lyrics, which is "Qingqing Zijin," but the Queen Mother Guo did not sing it. She only expressed the girl's wandering pace through the slow melody of the strings.
Step, the feeling of waiting for the person who has not come yet.
Queen Mother Guo seemed to have transformed into a girl, walking back and forth on the attic, looking around.
After the song, there was still some lingering vibration in the air. Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Zhen next to her, then stretched out her finger cots and pressed lightly on the strings, and the sound of the piano finally stopped abruptly.
Only then did Zhen say, "Maybe Zhongming will come tonight."
Queen Mother Guo glanced at her: "I just spoke to you yesterday, why are you so impatient to wait?"
Mrs. Zhen said with a smile: "Don't think that because I don't understand music well, I don't know what song my sister is playing. Who can't wait?"
At this moment, Qin Liang's figure really appeared in the corridor outside! Empress Dowager Guo leaned over to watch, and Mrs. Zhen also turned her head and glanced, immediately laughed out loud, and said softly: "I heard the sound of sister's piano.
.”
Queen Mother Guo glared at her: "You really know how to think."
Zhen said: "Qin Zhongming is a person who understands poetry, music and rhythm."
But Qin Liang obviously didn't come because he heard the sound of the piano. When he walked to the door, you could tell from his expression. Qin Liang walked in, the three of them greeted each other, and he suddenly said directly: "Sima Yi launched an army and made a mistake.
"
Mrs. Zhen was still a little confused. The Queen Mother Guo was also startled, but soon she gradually understood what was going on. After all, she had known about the situation in the court before. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were co-administering the government, and a war broke out. It sounded like
It was sudden, and after a little thought, it made sense.
Queen Mother Guo was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked: "When did it happen?"
Qin Liang said: "Two days ago, I had an acquaintance in the school affairs office. The letter was delivered in a hurry, but it was written in detail. It should be true." After that, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and wrote it.
handed it over in front of me.
After Queen Mother Guo unfolded it, she first read the text on the letter.
Qin Liang's voice said again: "I didn't expect Sima Yi to move so quickly. It is probably because the suspicion between the two parties became even worse after His Highness disappeared. But the general's actions are also disappointing. He still didn't know how to take precautions! Until now,
I can only raise an army."
Queen Mother Guo was surprised again and couldn't help but look up at Qin Liang. But the expression on his face was serious, not impulsive, and it didn't look like he was talking casually.
Qin Liang also looked at Queen Mother Guo's face and said with a complicated expression: "The most dangerous situation is now, when the threat is not direct and the knife has not yet fallen on one's head, one can easily become careless.
But if you hesitate a little and miss the opportunity, when you come back to your senses in the future, it will be too late. People always think that there is still time, but in fact the fleeting opportunity is now, at this moment!"
He had detailed the stakes before. But as he said just now, the threats were really not direct and were all inferred. The person Sima Yi was dealing with now was Cao Shuang, and there was no sign of wanting to touch Wang Ling, and Qin
Another layer of light separated.
Queen Mother Guo had already stood up when she returned the greeting, and then walked around the room for a few steps. She took another look at Qin Liang's serious expression and couldn't help but ask: "Can the army succeed?"
Qin Liang said in a deep voice: "I must recruit my grandfather, the governor of the king, and my cousin Linghu Yu, otherwise there will be too few soldiers in Lujiang County. The problem now is also the same. The sword has not been cut down. My grandfather and others may
It’s not too urgent. And without the Tiger Talisman, it’s hard to convince the garrison generals to gather the army.”
When Queen Mother Guo was in the palace, although she had no great power, she often listened to military and political affairs. So she quickly understood the situation at this time and what Zhong Ming wanted.
He wanted an edict from Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother.
However, as soon as the edict is made public, everyone in the world will know that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is at least related to the Huainan gang.
Sure enough, Qin Liang opened his mouth, stopped talking, and continued to think about something.
The hall fell silent without warning, and the subtle sound of spring rain entered the house.
Queen Mother Guo suddenly remembered the song she just played. It originally had lyrics, but she didn't sing it, only the melody. Just like Qin Liang at this moment, he wanted to get an edict from Queen Mother Guo and persuade Wang Ling and the military generals in Huainan,
But he didn't say much, let alone persecution, or even persuasion.
Queen Mother Guo felt a little confused for a while.
Because this happened very suddenly. Her status was destined to be related to the government, and everything she did was a matter of position. But she couldn't fully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. The person in front of her was Zhong Ming, and there were
Ayu.
Queen Mother Guo walked back and forth on the wooden floor. After a while, she suddenly said: "Zhong Ming will take me to see Wang Ling?"
Now it was Qin Liang's turn to be stunned. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "In this case, Your Highness will be completely tied to the same boat as us, and there will be no way out."
Queen Mother Guo smiled: "Zhongming and Ayu have no retreat, what retreat do I want?"
Qin Liang's expression suddenly became very moved, and his voice also changed: "Your Highness has been very kind to me."
Empress Dowager Guo shook her head and said: "When it comes to matters in the imperial court, which side should you stand on? The two sides are most afraid of snakes and rats. I have my own decision, but Zhongming also has to think about whether he wants to raise an army or not?"
Qin Liang's eyes were very firm and he said without hesitation: "I did not make a temporary decision, but I have already thought of many ways. No other way can be implemented because we cannot control Cao Shuang's mind. Now raising troops is the only option
It’s not certain whether you can win if you have an opportunity, but if you miss the opportunity, you will definitely lose!”
When Queen Mother Guo heard this, she sighed and said, "There's no need to linger. When will we set off?"
Qin Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave tonight and we will arrive in Shouchun tomorrow morning."
Queen Mother Guo nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qin Liang suddenly raised his head and laughed twice.
Queen Mother Guo asked: "Why is Zhongming laughing?"
Qin Liang held back his laughter, shook his head and said, "I suddenly remembered that the same thing happened when I took His Highness to leave the capital. It seemed a bit hasty."
The last time she left Beijing, Empress Dowager Guo had not thought about it until she left the other courtyard; but this time there was really nothing to hesitate about. The reason for Empress Dowager Guo's hesitation was not to stand with Zhongming Ayu, but Qin.
The Queen Mother Guo cannot decide whether to raise troops or not. The soldiers are not in her hands.
Queen Mother Guo lightly pursed her red lips and said softly: "Yes."
At this time, Mrs. Zhen seemed to have just come back to her senses and asked cautiously: "Do you mean to rebel?"
Qin Liang glanced at her and said calmly: "King Qin."
Zhen said helplessly: "Is there any difference?" She looked at Qin Liang with a complicated expression, then looked at Queen Mother Guo, stretched out her hand to rub her temples and said, "What you are doing is getting more and more bold."
Qin Liang exhaled, walked to the banquet, knelt down, and suddenly said: "Your Highness's Qing Qingzi chant just now, I didn't hear it clearly, and it was over. How about asking Your Highness to play it again?"
Queen Mother Guo glanced at him and nodded "Yes".
However, people's moods are different, and the tunes played under their fingertips are also different. This tune has lost its previous charm, and is even played in the wrong key.
Every time she made a wrong sound, Queen Mother Guo would look at Qin Liang. Qin Liang seemed to recognize it, but still listened patiently.
Seeing his nonchalant look, Queen Mother Guo even wondered if the discussion just now was imaginary rather than something that really happened?
