The weather is fine and the spring sun is shining brightly outside, but the attic of the county temple is blocked by roof walls and cannot get any sunlight.
However, Qin Liang seemed to be bathed in the radiance, seeing the blazing sun and the blasphemy of the highest etiquette, which made him feel very swollen, as if he had great power and controlled the operation of the universe. Now he felt different from before. Now he really felt
There is an illusion that power is within reach.
It is not elegant to indulge in such passion in front of those close to you. However, when Qili's mood ended, Qin Liang still hinted to himself to calm down.
He knew very well that the distance within reach was sometimes just an illusion. It was easy to get carried away on that stretch of road, and end up falling into the abyss! Cao Shuang, Sima Yi here, are all like this.
Queen Mother Guo sat down at the banquet, pulled down her dark clothes, and then stretched out her hand to tug at the collar of her blue clothes, covering the fair skin on her shoulders. Her expression was a little tired, her eyes evasive, and she calmed down.
, there seems to still be a sense of humiliation.
However, those actions of hers were not requested by Qin Liang, they were done on her own initiative. No wonder Qin Liang did so.
The two were silent for a while. Queen Mother Guo licked the rouge on her delicate little mouth. She raised her almond-shaped eyes. Seeing that Qin Liang was still watching her, she gently turned her face aside. The baby was already born, but
Because of her different status, she went a little too far, and she still looked a little embarrassed afterwards.
Zhen finally walked to the side of the curtain and looked at the two people sitting at the banquet. Zhen's expression was very complicated: "Fortunately, no one came up. This curtain can't block the light. If you look outside, you will know what you are doing."
Qin Liang said: "After returning to Luoyang, I will have plenty of time to meet Mrs. Zhen. There is no need to take risks here."
Mrs. Zhen rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "I know."
Qin Liang added: "If someone comes up, there should be a sound. Then I will go outside the curtain."
Seeing that the two of them still had something to say, Mrs. Zhen turned her head and glanced in the direction of the stairs. She still seemed a little worried, so she walked over.
Qin Liang and Queen Mother Guo came upstairs to have a secret discussion. But when they reunited after a long absence, in the absence of outsiders, they naturally couldn't help but do intimate things first, and then quickly discuss business matters.
Queen Mother Guo's voice gradually returned to calmness. At this time, she finally had an idea and continued the topic downstairs a long time ago: "I asked Zhong Ming to conduct military affairs before. What's wrong with it?"
To conduct military affairs as a general does not mean appointing him as a general, but a temporary power of agency. Just like Qin Liang asked his eldest brother to serve as the guard of Lujiang County, and he had full power to handle the military affairs of Lujiang County during the war, but his eldest brother Qin Sheng did not
Prefect.
Qin Liang muttered: "My grandfather has not arrived in Luoyang yet. There is nothing wrong with His Highness's arrangement."
He continued: "But when His Highness returns to Luoyang, I will no longer need to act in the name of the general. Your Highness can arrange everything according to the emperor's decree. In addition, as long as you temporarily give me the appointment of a central commander, I can control the situation in Luoyang."
People and horses. We will discuss it again when the merits are discussed and officials are appointed."
The powers of the central leader and the leading general are the same thing. In the Wei Dynasty, the central leader was appointed first, and later those with high qualifications and merit were appointed as the leading generals.
Before Cao Shuang was killed, his younger brother Cao Xi was the leading general. His status was not as high as that of Lieutenant Sikong, nor was he as intimidating as the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese and Foreign Military Forces. However, the leading general was the New Fifth Battalion, the Fifth Battalion in the North of the City.
The commander-in-chief of the school camp and other armies has great military power. When the situation in Luoyang was critical before, Qin Liang thought hard about ways to help Cao Shuang, but in the end he could not help Cao Shuang because he did not have any military power in Luoyang. Qin Liang had already understood that the military power in Luoyang was the key.
As long as Qin Liang temporarily leads the army and gets legitimate military power, the people in Luoyang will not be able to do anything for a while.
At this time, Queen Mother Guo's voice said: "Zhongming's behavior is very cautious."
Qin Liang looked at Queen Mother Guo and said calmly: "Although Liang has military exploits, he cannot ignore the attitude of the Wang family."
He suddenly remembered a story. Back then, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others rebelled against the Qin Dynasty and agreed that whoever entered Xianyang first would be king. As a result, Liu Bang entered Xianyang first. In the end, it was not about who was stronger.
Qin Liang thought for a while and continued: "Most of King Qin's soldiers and horses are from my grandfather, and my cousin Linghuyu also has a close relationship because of his relatives in the Wang family. My grandfather has friendship with many noble families.
, the family's reputation is high; having the grandfather take charge of the overall situation is more convincing to the public."
Empress Dowager Guo said: "If it weren't for Zhongming, Wang Ling would not be Sima Yi's opponent at all! Moreover, Zhongming married the Wang family. Although Zhongming climbed to the top of the family family, he did not rely on the Wang family to start his career. Qing made meritorious service in the Battle of Shaopi and was promoted to the fifth grade school.
After receiving the order, he went to Qinchuan to block the Shu-Han army, and became the prefect of Lujiang County, but he had little relationship with the Wang family. At the beginning, perhaps Cao Shuang was more helpful to Zhongming."
She paused for a moment and said coldly: "Why not follow the story of Sima Yi and Cao Shuang and take charge of the court separately?"
Qin Liang pondered for a while and said: "The three families of Wang, Qin, and Linghu have nothing to do with the auxiliary government designated by the late emperor. Together, it will be difficult to convince the old subjects of Wei. In order to stabilize the situation in the future, we still cannot take it lightly. Because it is still
It is impossible to determine what Governor Wang is thinking; if the situation evolves into an internal conflict among the three families, our situation will be very dangerous. And when the time comes, King Zhuojing will not be in a good position."
Qin Liang's career in the past did not rely too much on marriage. His main consideration at that time was to retain the right to speak in the Wang family, so that at a critical moment, he could persuade and coerce the Wang family to join forces to resist.
However, Wang Lingjun and Xuan Ji were kind to him. Qin Liang was nothing at that time, and they were stunning beauties from a noble family, but they still treated Qin Liang wholeheartedly. It is impossible for Qin Liang to forget the kindness and love of the past.
At this time, Queen Mother Guo asked quietly: "Does the Wang family have ambitions?"
Qin Liang first thought of Wang Ling. Although Wang Ling was in his seventies, he was in good health; his second uncle Wang Feixiao was also a reliable person. He may not be good at both civil and military skills, but at least he had experience in leading troops and was literate and well-read.
.
So he said truthfully: "I'm not sure. So I think we can wait and see first. Although this is conservative, it will be much more stable. It can ensure that you are undefeated and have room for maneuvers."
Queen Mother Guo suddenly stared into Qin Liang's eyes and said, "Does Zhong Ming have ambitions?"
Qin Liang was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Zhen had already gone to the stairs, and there were only two people inside the curtain. The feeling of intimacy just not long ago suddenly became a little subtle.
But Qin Liang quickly came to his senses and nodded: "Yes. But some things have to be done according to the situation and cannot be forced."
A complicated smile suddenly appeared in Queen Mother Guo's eyes. The almond-shaped eyes with raised ends made her smile even more charming and a little strange.
She whispered: "You feel quite happy to admit it."
Qin Liang said: "Your Highness abandoned everything and followed me to Lujiang County. I no longer want to have any reservations about Your Highness."
After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo sighed softly and said, "Didn't Zhongming send me back again?"
Qin Liang also exhaled and said, "Fortunately, we won."
Having said this, Qin Liang said in a deep voice: "The imperial power of the Wei Dynasty has declined to such an extent. If the emperor wants to take back the power, it will not be easy. He must first kill the Wang family, the Qin family, and the Linghu family!
No one allowed him to do that."
He then whispered: "The Guo family is from Liangzhou and has limited power in Luoyang. Because His Highness supports us, the situation of the Guo family will not be too bad. No matter who the emperor is, Your Highness will always be the Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Guo bit her teeth lightly, stood up from the banquet with difficulty, and then paced slowly behind the curtain.
When Qin Liang saw this, he couldn't continue sitting, so he stood up and stood beside him.
The sun is bright outside, and a few rays of light are shining through the cracks in the window, but it makes things in the house look more like they are shrouded in shadow.
Queen Mother Guo turned around and said softly: "The emperor resents me in his heart. Compared with the Wang family, I hope Zhongming can assist the government."
Qin Liang bowed his head and said, "I should consider the long term and live up to His Highness's expectations."
Queen Mother Guo stood there dignifiedly and nodded gently to Qin Liang: "The first time I saw Zhong Ming, I believed that you have the talent to serve as a king's assistant."
What should be said at this time has almost been said.
Most people outside thought that Qin Liang was secretly discussing in the attic, but the secret discussion could not last too long. He glanced at Mrs. Zhen at the stairs and said, "I have to take my leave. Your Highness, please prepare a moment. Let's have lunch."
Then we will set off, first to Xincheng County, and then we can return to Luoyang tomorrow. The monarchs and ministers of Luoyang will drive out of the city with a ceremonial car to greet His Highness."
Queen Mother Guo hurriedly asked: "How will we meet in the future?"
Qin Liang said: "Your Highness is in charge of the palace, so first replace those unreliable people. From now on, there will not be many people who can threaten us, and it will be easier to meet each other than before. Later we will think of a way to let Mrs. Zhen contact us.
"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo nodded gently.
Qin Liang did not bow down, but walked up to her and hugged her waist, and then put his mouth to her. Queen Mother Guo also hugged Qin Liang with all her strength. As soon as her delicate little mouth was released, she buried her face in it again.
Qin Liang's neck deeply breathed in his scent.
After the two bodies separated, Queen Mother Guo gently took out a piece of clean silk, gently wiped the rouge on Qin Liang's lips, and then arranged his hair and robes with her fingers.
Qin Liang suddenly felt a warm feeling of being taken care of. The relationship between him and Queen Mother Guo was indeed a bit confusing. Sometimes he felt that he had the upper hand, and he could even feel the slight humiliation of Queen Mother Guo. Sometimes they were cooperating in the power field.
However, sometimes Qin Liang would praise him again. But at this time, what he felt was some kind of quiet tenderness, and he even thought of the Ayu that Queen Mother Guo gave birth to.
He stood for a while, then bowed to Queen Mother Guo, turned around and left.
When he reached the stairs, Qin Liang looked back again. Empress Dowager Guo also watched him and nodded gently to him.
Qin Liang turned around and whispered: "After we return to Luoyang, we will meet at the same place as before. There is no need to be as hasty as today."
Zhen's cheeks were a little red, but she didn't say anything.
