Chapter 14: Substitution

Views:

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Hall.

In just a few decades, the Jingzhao Mansion has changed hands several times. The palaces and pavilions in the palace have been in disrepair for a long time, and have been burnt down several times. traces left.

Li Xuanzhen followed behind Xiao Huangmen and slowly stepped up the long steps.

The early morning light poured through the thin clouds and poured into the empty corridors and halls, with vermilion arches, painted cornices, and sparkling streamers on the blue glazed tiles.

Li De had a secret conversation with the senior officials of the Political Affairs Hall in the inner hall.

When the monarch and ministers discussed matters, the inner servants all retreated to the corridor of the outer hall, and a dozen people stood in front of the window sill for a long time, but they did not hear a cough.

Li Xuanzhen waited for a while, when heavy footsteps came from the inner hall.

Before no one could be seen, Dudu Pei's loud voice came out first: "The saint took the risk to attack the Allen clan in order to convince the other nine divisions by force, not to send the princess and her relatives! If she wants to marry, she will marry! The farther you marry, the better! The chance to negotiate with those barbarians only after 3,000 Wei soldiers buried their bones in the glaciers was destroyed by her!"

Several old and gentle voices interrupted Dudu Pei's complaints, and whispered to persuade him to stay calm.

Afterwards, several old men in purple official robes came out, all with solemn expressions.

Walking in the forefront is Prime Minister Zheng Yu.

He saw Li Xuanzhen with dark circles at a glance, sighed, stopped, and motioned for the others to go first.

Dudu Pei scolded and stepped out of the threshold, Yu Guang swept to Li Xuanzhen, saw that his face was haggard and his clothes were wrinkled, he knew that he had been locked up all night for Zhu Luyun and only released his mouth.

"Dalang, you—"

Just as he was about to scold a few words, the others guessed his intention and immediately grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

Prime Minister Zheng stood in front of the porch, waited for Dudu Pei and his party to walk away, and glanced at Li Xuanzhen, his eyes were gentle and deep.

"Your Highness, Princess Fukang is arrogant and capricious. You are the crown prince, and you should not have anything to do with her in the future."

His tone was flat, as if he was gossiping at home, but he had a solemn majesty that had accumulated over the years.

Li Xuanzhen did not speak.

Zheng Zai shook his head with a similar smile but walked down the steps in a leisurely manner.

The servant invited Li Xuanzhen into the hall.

The bright sunlight poured into the inner hall from the half-open bright blue row windows, the lightly closed brocade tents cast half-bright and half-dark silhouettes, and the gilt-gilt animal head incense burner squatted in front of the dragon table, spewing clouds and mist. , there was a faint green tulip in the air.

Li Xuanzhen entered the hall and walked to the dragon case.

The documents and memorials on the case are piled up like a mountain, with red pens, inkstones, pen hills, paperweights, and water bowls crowded in a messy corner, and bookcases piled up in a mess.

Li De held a scroll in his hand and Chen was looking at it.

The minister's handwriting was elegant and neat, and the font was very small. He had to narrow his phoenix eyes and look closely, and the corners of his eyes were densely wrinkled.

A beam of light slanted across his sun-scorched face, and the temples wrapped in a black scarf were as white as the first snow.

At first glance, the founding emperor of Wei looked like an ordinary old man, gentle and kind, and he was old.

After he finished reading Tiao Chen, he slowly raised his eyes, but for a moment, the light floating in the entire inner hall seemed to converge on him.

He sat there and looked at Li Xuanzhen quietly, without saying a word, there was a radiance in the bottomless black phoenix eyes, which made people feel that they did not dare to look closely.

Li Xuanzhen looked at her father, and couldn't help but think of the things that her mother used to talk about during her lifetime.

Li De is the concubine of the Li family, and his biological mother was a maid. He had a rough childhood, but he gave birth to a unique face, picturesque and romantic.

There was a saying in those days: Li Lang of Wei County is unparalleled in the world.

When Li De was twenty-four years old, he accompanied the elders of the clan to go out to banquets. He wore an ordinary white robe. Others wore shabby and plain clothes, but he wore Qionglin Yushu, which was clear and elegant.

The eldest lady of the Tang family happened to be there, and she only glanced at Li De and couldn't take her eyes away.

A few years later, Li De was defeated like a mountain. He begged to go to the gate of the Xie family's house and rode across the trestle under the Jingnan city. He was wearing a half-new plain shirt. He was embarrassed and emaciated. love at first sight.

Li Xuanzhen and Li Zhongqian both inherited Li De's phoenix eyes, but in terms of style, they are not as good as Li De when they were young.

Li De's cousin once said that the eyebrows and eyes of the two nephews are a bit like Li De, but Li Xuanzhen is restrained and gloomy, a little less arrogant than Li De, while Li Zhongqian is moody and violent, not as bold as Li De. of gentleness.

She also said that among the Li family's children, only Li Yaoying is not a phoenix eye. She is the least like the Li family, but she is beautiful and has the most peerless elegance that Li De had when he was young.

The young Li De was admired by countless ladies.

Wu Feitu left, and nearly 20 years passed in a flash. The years left traces of wind and frost on his face, but they did not damage his complexion at all, but polished him to be more gentle and soft.

Born with a good skin that people can't hate, but the most cold-hearted.

The father and son looked at each other for a moment.

Li De asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Li Xuanzhen didn't answer and asked, "Has the sage ordered a marriage?"

A flash of disappointment flashed in Li De's eyes, and he lowered his head and unfolded another pile of scrolls: "I can't lose my trust in the world. Since Zhu Luyun insists on marrying, I will let her get what she wants."

Li Xuanzhen clenched her fists: "What if I don't agree?"

Li De didn't lift his head: "Zhang slave, it's a matter of state affairs, you don't have to be willful."

Li Xuanzhen said: "It's a state affair, and it's also a family affair."

Li De raised his head, his phoenix eyes were deep, and his eyes contained the meaning of reproach: "State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, what is important? What is light? A mere girl, is it worth it?"

Li Xuanzhen was silent for a while, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"A mere woman."

He repeated it, every word was bloody.

Li De looked away.

Back then, when Li De kept his promise to marry Xie Manyuan, Tang Ying suddenly appeared and made a big noise at the wedding banquet.

Li De, dressed in military uniform, glanced at Tang Ying, who was resolute, and at the subordinates who followed him loyally in front of the court, with a hesitant expression on his face.

The strategist appeared beside him and whispered: "General, the alliance between Li Xie and the two families has been completed."

Li De closed his eyes, thinking of the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers who died in battle because of his recklessness, his cousin who was tragically killed by the sword in order to escort him to break out of the siege, the starving soldiers and soldiers and the Xie family filled with food in the warehouse.

"A mere woman."

He murmured, turning around and holding Xie Manyuan's hand.

When he was young, Li De was pretentious, thinking that he could handle the inner house disputes well.

In the past, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun, was deeply in love with the sword, offended Huo Guang, and sent his wife Xu Pingjun to a tragic death at the hands of the Huo people. Although he later secured the throne and avenged Xu Pingjun, he could never restore his wife who had been gracious to each other.

Li De is confident that he will not become Liu Xun.

Tang Ying is even less likely to become the second Xu Pingjun.

He can use the family to strengthen his strength, protect his wife and son, and gradually weaken the family. When he ascends the throne, the queen must be Tang Ying.

Officials should be regarded as Jinwu, and marriage should be regarded as Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua waited for seventeen years to become the queen of the mother world.

Tang Ying did not wait for the day when Li De ascended the throne, and died in the fire.

She left a letter of absolute writing, the words are sharp, and the back of the paper is: Langjun is on the top, concubine is three times, and today I will make a decision with you. I hope that forever, the blue and yellow springs will never meet!

The green smoke coils in front of the animal head incense burner, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Li De slowly opened a memorial, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

When I saw the letter that day, the pain that cut out my heart came back to my heart again.

He should have thought that Tang Ying has a strong temperament, how could she be as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Yin Lihua, and accompany him for more than ten years

When she found out that he married Xie Shi, she had long wanted to leave him, and the reason why she stayed by his side was all for Li Xuanzhen.

It was also for Li Xuanzhen that she burned herself and the child in her womb to death.

Mother and son, one corpse and two lives.

Li De came out for a while, "Zhang slave, state affairs come first, you are the prince of a country, and you must remember your identity."

Li Xuanzhen was unmoved and sneered: "Sir, you adopted Yunniang, indulged her, and used her. She ruined your plan, and you reap the consequences."

Li De smiled. Although he had gray hair, he still had the same demeanor when he smiled: "I have never embarrassed her, what did she want, what did I give, and now she wants to marry into the Yelu tribe, I agree."

Li Xuanzhen looked calm.

The matter was indeed caused by Zhu Luyun, and it was Zhu Luyun's fault.

He was also at fault. He thought that Zhu Luyun was jealous a while ago, so he relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect her to get involved with the Hu people.

For today's plan, I can only do as the Crown Princess said, since there is no way to stop the marriage, then we must find a way to keep Zhu Luyun.

Li Xuanzhen clarified her thoughts and said, "Sir, you have never thought about why the Yelu tribe must marry Yunniang?"

Li De's expression darkened slightly.

Li Xuanzhen went on to say: "The holy man impresses Chief Yelu with gold and silver treasures, so he will bring several sons to Beijing to celebrate, but now Chief Yelu is deliberately embarrassing you in order to marry Yunniang, inciting other tribes, and putting pressure on the court. "What on earth does Yun Niang have that deserves the Yelu tribe to take such a big risk?"

Li De was silent, his eyes flickered.

Li Xuanzhen knew that her goal had been achieved.

"It is too risky to let Yunniang marry into the Yelu tribe. If Yunniang joins forces with the Yelu tribe to attack Chang'an, can Chang'an be defended? Or, if the Yelu tribe recruits troops and buys horses under the banner of the Zhu family's concubine, what should the sage do? ?"

Li De frowned.

Li Xuanzhen said calmly: "Before the purpose of Chief Yelu is clear, it is best for the sage to change to another person with his relatives. As for Yunniang, she is really too ignorant, I will discipline her well, and I will never let her appear in front of the sage again. ."

Li De pondered for a moment, then waved Li Xuanzhen out.

Li Xuanzhen left the Liangyi Hall and immediately went to the Princess Mansion to see Zhu Luyun, who was under house arrest.

Chang Shi had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time and came forward.

Before opening his mouth, Li Xuanzhen had already waved his whip and walked away.

Chang Shi let out a long sigh.

The Princess Mansion is strictly guarded, and the Jinwuweili has three floors and three outer floors.

As Li Xuanzhen walked in, he carefully observed the surroundings, completely dispelling the idea of robbing Zhu Luyun and quietly sending her away.

The outposts are too dense.

Zhu Luyun, with her long hair loose, sat with her legs crossed all night, crying until her eyes were swollen.

Li Xuanzhen strode into the room, grabbed Zhu Luyun's hand, pulled her to stand up, and asked sharply, "Who encouraged you?"

Zhu Luyun staggered, raised her face, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "No one encouraged me! I just want to have a kiss! I don't want to be entangled with you again! I married far away and went to my aunt, she It's my only relative in this world, and you can get rid of me from now on, I wish you and the princess a long-lasting love."

Li Xuanzhen let go of her hand helplessly and rubbed her brows: "Niang Yun, tell me honestly, what did you exchange with the Yelu tribe? Why did they marry you?"

How could she know people from the Yelu tribe without anyone to match them

Li Xuanzhen didn't know what the purpose of the Yelu tribe was, but he was sure of one thing: Zhu Luyun was used again.

She has been a chess piece in Li De's hands all these years, and now she wants to get rid of the fate of being a chess piece, but she plunges into another net.

He had to stop her, otherwise, with her temperament, how much would she have to suffer without his protection

Zhu Luyun wiped the corners of her eyes: "I don't care about you!"

Li Xuanzhen's forehead twitched: "Are you really going to marry a grassland tribe? Do you know that Yelu Chief is over sixty years old! They are barbarians, their customs are barbarous, their fathers die and their sons follow, except for their mothers, all other women are newcomers. The chief's concubine! They live by water and grass, and they have no fixed place to live. When the water and grass are abundant, they can barely eat enough. When they are not full, they will herd horses in the Central Plains and rob the people. Do you know where their women live? What are you eating? What are you wearing?"

He had never gotten angry in front of Zhu Luyun, and after a series of pressing questions, Zhu Luyun was speechless, twisted her body angrily, threw herself in front of the bed, covered her face and began to cry.

While crying, he said intermittently: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it! I, Zhu Luyun, will draw a clear line with your Li family from now on! It's life or death, it's not about you!"

Li Xuanzhen looked at Zhu Luyun, and was deeply tired.

He thought of her mother, the poor woman, pulling him tightly, pleading on her burnt face.

"I don't care about you, who cares about you?"

Li Xuanzhen sighed and turned to leave.

Chang Shi Hao Hao Hao chased after the princess' mansion, "His Royal Highness, what did the sage say?"

Li Xuanzhen got on his horse and said with a sullen face: "The sage suspects the Yelu tribe, and he will agree to replace them."

Chang Shi let out a long breath.

The sage acquiesced, and the next problem was the Yelu tribe.

Who can make the Yelu chief be tempted
