Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 14: Substitution

Tai Chi Palace, Hall of Two Instruments.

In just a few decades, Jingzhao Mansion has changed hands several times, the palace’s halls and pavilions have been in disrepair, and several have been burnt down. They are no longer as magnificent and magnificent. The palace walls are mottled and the pillars can be seen everywhere after the burning The traces left.

Li Xuanzhen followed behind Xiaohuangmen, and slowly stepped onto the long steps.

The early morning light poured through thin clouds between the empty corridors and platforms, vermilion arches, painted cornices, and blue glazed tiles with shimmering streams of light.

Li De talked secretly with senior officials in the inner hall and Zhengshitang.

When the monarchs and ministers discussed matters, the servants all retreated to the corridor of the outer hall. A dozen people stood in front of the window threshold for a long time, but they coughed indifferently.

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

Before there was a figure, Governor Pei’s loud voice came out first: "The saint’s adventure to attack the Allen’s is to use force to deter the other nine, not to send the princess and relatives! If she wants to marry, she will marry! The farther you marry, the better! Three thousand Wei troops buried their bones in the ice in exchange for the opportunity to negotiate with those barbarians, but she was ruined!"

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

Afterwards, several old men in purple official robes walked out, all of them dignified.

Leading the way is the prime minister Zheng Yu.

He saw Li Xuanzhen with dark circles under his eyes, sighed, stopped, and motioned for the others to go first.

Governor Pei stepped out of the threshold cursingly, and then swept across to Li Xuanzhen, seeing him haggard and wrinkled clothes, knowing that he had been locked up for Zhu Luyun all night before letting him out, with a mouth open.

"Da Lang, you—"

Just about to curse a few words, someone else guessed his intention and immediately grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

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

"His Royal Highness, Princess Fukang is arrogant and capricious. You are a prince, and you should never have anything to do with her in the future."

His tone is flat, like gossiping, but he has a kind of solemn majesty that has accumulated over the years.

Li Xuanzhen did not speak.

Zheng Jae shook his head with a similar smile, and stepped down the steps unhurriedly.

The servant invited Li Xuanzhen into the hall.

Brilliant sunlight shoots into the inner hall from the half-open bright blue row of windows, half-bright and half-dark silhouettes are scattered among the light brocade tents, and the gilt golden beast head censer sits in front of the dragon's table, spraying clouds and mists. , There is a faint green tulip in the air.

Li Xuanzhen entered the hall and walked to the front of Long An.

On the case, the memorials and memorials were stacked like a mountain, and Zhubi, inkstone, pen mountain, paperweight, and water bowl were squeezed in a mess in the corner.

Li De held a roll of sticks in his hand and looked at Chen.

The minister's handwriting was neat and neat, and the font was small, so he had to squint his eyes and look closely, the corners of his eyes were densely wrinkled.

A ray of light cut diagonally across his long-winded and sun-burned face, and the temples wrapped by the head of the black scarf were as white as the first snow.

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

After he finished reading Tiao Chen, he slowly raised his eyes, only for an instant, the light floating in the entire inner hall seemed to gather on him.

He sat there, looking at Li Xuanzhen quietly, without saying a word, there was a radiant surging in the bottomless black phoenix eyes, which made people feel afraid to look at him.

Li Xuanzhen looked at her father and couldn't help but think of those things that Aniang often talked about during her lifetime.

Li De is the concubine of the Li family, and his biological mother is a maid. He was rough when he was a child, but he gave birth to a unique face with picturesque eyebrows and romantic charm.

There was a saying at the time: Wei Jun Li Lang is unparalleled in the world.

When Li De was twenty-four years old, he accompanied the elders of his clan to a banquet. He was dressed in an ordinary white robe. Others wore shabby and plain clothes, but he wore Qionglin Yushu, which was clear and beautiful.

The Tang family's eldest lady happened to be there, she only glanced at Li De, and couldn't look away anymore.

A few years later, Li De was defeated like a mountain. He begged to go to the gate of Xie’s house and rode across the trestle bridge under Jingnan. 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 two nephews’ eyebrows are a bit like Li De, but Li Xuanzhen is restrained and gloomy, a bit less arrogant than Li De. Li Zhongqian is moody and violent, without Li De’s boldness. The gentleness and calmness.

She also said that among the children of the Li family, Li Yaoying is the only one who is not a phoenix eye. She is the least like the Li family, but she is the most beautiful and charming of Li De when she was young.

Young Li De admired countless ladies.

Wu Feitu left, and nearly twenty years passed in a flash. The years left traces of wind and frost on his face, but he did not damage his complexion at all, but polished him more gently and softly.

He was born with a good skin that people can't hate, but he is the most indifferent.

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

Li De asked: "Did you figure it out?"

Li Xuanzhen didn't answer and asked, "The Holy Lord has already made an decree to grant marriage?"

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

Li Xuanzhen clenched fists with both hands: "What if I don't agree?"

Li De didn't raise his head: "Zhang slave, it's a matter of state affairs, you should not be willful."

Li Xuanzhen said: "It's a national matter, and it's also a family matter."

Li De raised his head, his phoenix eyes were deep, and his eyes implied blame: "State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, what is important? What is light? Just a little girl, is it worth it for you?"

Li Xuanzhen was silent for a while, with an ironic smile on her face.

"Just a little girl."

He repeated it, crying blood every word.

Li De looked away.

That year, Li De kept his promise to marry Xie Manyuan, and Tang Ying suddenly appeared and made a big fuss at the wedding banquet.

Li De dressed in a uniform, glanced at Tang Ying with a decisive look, and then at the men who followed him loyally in front of the court, hesitating on his face.

The military division appeared next to him and whispered: "General, the covenant between Li and Xie has been concluded."

Li De closed his eyes, thinking of the tens of thousands of Wei Jun who died because of his recklessness, of his cousin who died tragically to **** him out of the siege, of the hungry and thin soldiers and the food in the Xie family's full warehouse.

"Just a little girl."

He murmured, turned around and took the hand full of thanks.

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

In the old days, Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, had a deep love for the sword. He offended Huo Guang and his wife Xu Pingjun died tragically in the hands of Mrs. Huo. Although he later settled on the throne and avenged Xu Pingjun, he would never be able to save Xiangruyimo's wife.

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

Tang Ying is even more unlikely to become the second Xu Pingjun.

He can use the family to grow stronger while protecting his wife and son, and gradually weaken the family. When he becomes the throne, the queen must be Tang Ying.

Officials are regarded as holding Jinwu, and marrying a wife is regarded as Yin Lihua.

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

Tang Ying did not wait until the day Li De became the throne, and died in the fire.

She left an absolute letter with sharp words and strong paperbacks: The Lord is on top, and the concubine worships three times. Today, I will absolutely die with you, wishing to live forever, and never see each other!

The green smoke coiled in front of the beast head incense burner, the fragrance was delicate and fragrant.

Li De slowly unfolded a memorial, with a bitter smile on his lips.

After seeing the absolute letter that day, the heart-digging pain came to my heart again.

He should have thought of Tang Ying's strong temper, how could she be as informed and interesting as Yin Lihua, and stay with him for more than ten years?

She had long wanted to leave him when she discovered that he was married to Xie's family. The reason why she stayed beside him was all because of Li Xuanzhen.

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

Mother and son, one corpse and two lives.

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

Li Xuanzhen remained unmoved and sneered: "Holy Lord, you adopt Yun Niang, indulge her, use her, she broke your plan, and you are self-sufficient."

Li De smiled, although his gray hair was gray, his demeanor remained the same when he smiled: "I never embarrassed her, what did she want, what did I give, and now she wants to marry the Yelu tribe, I promised."

Li Xuanzhen looked calm.

Zhu Luyun really caused the matter, and Zhu Luyun was wrong in this matter.

He was also wrong. He thought Zhu Luyun was jealous a while ago, and relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect that she would get involved with Hu Ren.

For the present, I can only do as the prince said, since there is no way to prevent the marriage, then we must find a way to keep Zhu Luyun.

Li Xuanzhen clarified his thoughts and said, "Holy, you have never thought about it, why does the Yelu tribe insist on marrying Yunniang?"

Li De's expression sank slightly.

Li Xuanzhen went on to say: "The Holy Lord impressed Chief Ye Lu with gold and silver treasures, and he will bring a few sons to Beijing to congratulate him. Now Chief Ye Lu deliberately embarrassed you in order to marry Yunniang, inciting other tribes and putting pressure on the court. , What is there in Yunniang that is worth the Yelu tribe to take such a big risk?"

Li De did not speak, his eyes flashed.

Li Xuanzhen knew that his goal had been achieved.

"It is too risky to let Yunniang marry the Yelu tribe. If Yunniang joins the Yelu tribe to attack Chang'an, Chang'an can't defend it? Or if the Yelu tribe recruits soldiers and buys horses under the banner of the Zhu family, what about the saints? ?"

Li De frowned.

Li Xuanzhen calmly said: "Before I figure out the purpose of Chief Ye Lu, it's best to change the sage to choose a family member. As for Yunniang, she is really too ignorant of the importance. I will take care of her and will never let her appear in front of the sage again. ."

Li De pondered for a moment and waved to let Li Xuanzhen go 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 greeted him.

Before opening his mouth, Li Xuanzhen waved his whip and left.

Chang Shi sighed faintly.

...

The princess mansion is heavily guarded. The Jinwu Guardian has three floors and three floors, guarded by layers. Even the inner courtyard is full of guards.

Li Xuanzhen walked in and watched the surroundings carefully, completely dispelling the idea of ​​stealing Zhu Luyun and quietly sending her away.

The guard posts are too dense.

Zhu Luyun wore her long hair and sat with her legs in her arms all night, crying so that both her eyes were swollen.

Li Xuanzhen strode into the room, grabbed Zhu Luyun's hand, pulled her up to her feet, and sternly asked, "Who persuaded you?"

Zhu Luyun staggered, raised her face, and smiled with tears: "No one encourages me! I just want to make a kiss! I will never pester you anymore! I married far away and went to find my aunt, she It is my only relative in this world. From then on, you can get rid of me. I wish you and the prince concubine's love to the end."

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

There is no matchmaking, how could she know people from Yelu tribe?

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

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

He must stop her, otherwise, with her temperament, how much will she suffer without his protection?

Zhu Luyun wiped the corner of her eyes: "You don't care about my business!"

Li Xuanzhen’s forehead blue veins jumped straight: "Are you really going to marry to a grassland tribe? Did you know that Chief Yelu is over sixty years old! They are barbarians, savage customs, father to death and son to death, except for their mothers, all other women are new The chief’s concubine! They live by water and weeds and have no fixed place. When the water and weeds are lush, they can barely eat enough. If they are not full, they will feed the horses in the Central Plains and looting 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 questioning, Zhu Luyun was speechless, twisted her body in vain, threw herself down in front of the bed, covered her face and started crying.

While crying, he intermittently said: "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 doesn't matter to you!"

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

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

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

Li Xuanzhen sighed and turned to leave.

Chang Shi Yanlai and Yalai chased to the princess's mansion, "His Royal Highness, what did the Sage say?"

Li Xuanzhen turned on her horse and said with a calm face: "The saint suspects Yelu tribe, he will agree to change."

Chang Shi took a long breath.

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

Who should go and marry him to make Chief Yelu tempted?
