Changqing Ci

Assassin assassination is also common. Wei Lingci only checked Yuan Yu's injuries and asked about the situation at that time. They were all dead men, and they committed suicide if they failed.

The beacon fire was brightly lit in the barracks. After Wei Lingci got out of the tent, he went to look at the corpse of the assassin. Yun Shen rushed over and waited in the tent. Seeing that Wei Lingci was looking through the clothes of the corpse and the badge of the frontier royal family, "Marshal , I have checked all these, they are all from the frontier, and the badges you see are evidence of their undying will."

Wei Lingci kept rubbing the iron waist card, and stayed on the corpse for a long time, his eyes flashed with the viciousness he experienced in the army, and sneered: "Yun Shen, if you kill people as a dead soldier, Knowing that you will die, will you still put a badge that symbolizes your identity on yourself?"

The dead soldiers are specially trained, and they will not be dispatched easily, but if they fail and fall into the enemy, they will kill themselves to show their loyalty.These are the people in front of them. The frontier royal family will also have dead soldiers, but the royal family is exhausted. Who has the ability to mobilize them.

Yun Shen looked at the faces lying on the corpse bed. Daqi was similar to Frontier, and there was no difference in appearance between the two peoples. Therefore, after finding the badges on them, they all preconceived that these people were Frontier people.

Right now, the frontier is the territory of Daqi, and those courtiers dare not do it again. Even if these people were sent by them, they would not dare to put these badges on themselves openly. do something.

Yun Shen sat on the ground in astonishment, looked at Wei Lingci calmly and calmly, his thoughts drifted to nowhere, and said in horror: "Marshal, they went straight to the main tent, which was originally your tent, but General Yuan pretended to be you, In this way, someone in Dijing wants to kill you."

She is not stupid, she has followed Wei Lingci for three years, and she understands these things immediately.

She got up, these things must be investigated clearly, otherwise these assassins will appear from time to time after returning to Beijing, how can they be prevented for a while, she asked: "Marshal, this matter must be investigated and reported to His Majesty, otherwise you will come back Jing is still in danger."

Wei Lingci figured it out, smiled lightly, threw the token back on the dead soldier, and said: "Forget it, there is no need to investigate, it will only embarrass His Majesty if it is found out, and the order will be issued to strengthen the vigilance of the whole army."

The next day, the army set off and stepped up to the imperial capital.

The situation in the imperial capital changed every day, and when the army arrived ten miles away from the imperial capital, it was almost the end of spring.

Sunny and cloudy, the light is soft, sprinkled on every inch of land, the trees on both sides are shaded, and the shadows are mottled.The army returned triumphantly, and to show kindness, the emperor would come out to greet him in person, but only a group of courtiers came to welcome him at Shiliping, the leader was Prime Minister Tang Mo, and even the prince Xunyi never appeared.

Yuan Yu was a little puzzled, followed Wei Lingci, held the reins, and listened to Yun Shen muttering: "Your Majesty hasn't come here, maybe he's not satisfied with us."

In terms of emotion and reason, the emperor should come out to greet him in person, but only Tang Mo was sent here, which is incredible.

Tang Mo stepped forward, and all the riders got off their horses. Wei Ling's eyes were dim, and he walked towards Tang Mo with a smile, and said with a smile, "Master Tang, you can just wait on the tower, why do you need to walk ten miles. "

"Your Majesty has a decree to appoint me to welcome Lord Wei, so I dare not be negligent. Your Majesty will reward you all in the Hanyuan Hall."

The banner with the word "Wei" behind him fluttered against the scorching sun and the breeze. When the soldiers saw the looming imperial capital in front of them, their hearts were filled with joy.

Tang Mo walked towards Xun Yisu who was at the side, leaned slightly to salute, and said with a smile: "Princess, your majesty knows what you did for Daqi. The mansion of the princess has been built, and your mother and concubine have gone to the imperial tomb. You can go and have a look, mother and daughter."

Xun Yisu's eyes were slightly red, he looked deeply at Yuan Yan, and said: "Then thank you, Mr. Tang."

Tang Mo got on the horse, and did not follow the example of those civil servants and returned in a carriage. The army camped here, and the general accompanied Tang Mo on horseback to the imperial capital.

Wei Lingci was restless, and he drove with Tang Mo. After more than ten years, she hadn't been so restless for a long time. According to Xun Changqing's temperament, she would definitely come to greet her today.

What she thought, the trance of the gods, happened to fall into Tang Mo's eyes. She smiled and said, "Master Wei, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. I taught you the sword technique, but you don't seem to have passed it on to my little brother." His Majesty."

Wei Lingci didn't know why Tang Mo mentioned this matter. That set of swordsmanship is unpredictable, and it is not easy to learn. She said softly: "Your Majesty's lack of foundation, your set of swordsmanship is not suitable for her."

Tang Mo had followed the little emperor for nearly three years. Since she knew her martial arts, she lowered her head and said with a smile: "If she practiced martial arts with a good foundation, she would not be so fragile. A wind and cold could make her linger on the bed for several days, seven or eight days. Ignore the government."

That's the case, it's not that His Majesty doesn't want to come, it's just that he can't come.Regarding Tang Mo's jokes, Wei Lingci didn't understand, her heart was blocked, her hands and feet felt a little cold, she regretted it, and should leave after that little rascal recovered from his illness.When she left that day, it was obvious that her high fever subsided, so why did she stay with the soup for several days.

In the Hanyuan Hall, many courtiers had already gathered, waiting for the return of Wei Lingci and others.

Xun Changqing was a little out of spirits, forced herself to sit on the dragon chair, glanced at King Pingnan who was hanging his head silently below, she said with a smile; "My lord, I heard that the concubine Shizi gave birth to a grandson for you, I would like to congratulate you You are gone, there is someone following up in Prince Pingnan's residence, and I will show you to the palace when you have time."

The interrupted sentence made Xun Yi the core figure in the court, and everyone congratulated King Pingnan. The addition of people to the mansion is a happy event, and Xun Yi also stretched his gloomy face for thousands of years.

Xun Changqing looked at the prince surrounded by people, and felt comfortable. Xun Yi was the person who disliked socializing the most. Now that he mentioned it, someone would come to give presents when he was in court.She smiled and coughed lightly, took a sip of the hot tea that Ri Han handed over, and the servant came to report that the soldiers had entered the hall.

She sat upright and watched the heroic Wei Lingci leading the crowd into the hall. She glanced at it and then looked away. She took the merit list handed over by the servant, flipped through it casually, and saw the word Gu Liangmu , she was a little curious that someone from Gu Liang's family was still in the army.

After thinking about it, this is the Empress Dowager's nephew, she smiled and said, "Where is Guliang Mu?"

A handsome young man came out of the crowd, Xun Changqing's eyes were filled with surprise, he tapped his name on the merit list with his fingertips, and glanced at Yun Shen behind Wei Lingci, this man actually lied to her.

That day, it was Gu Liangmu who confessed to Wei Lingci in the master account. She could still remember her appearance when she turned into ashes. Ning'an Palace pays her respects to the old man."

At the end of the speech, he didn't mention the reward at all, which made everyone confused. Only Yun Shen understood that the young majesty was avenging his own personal revenge, but there will be a reward from the Queen Mother, so there is no rush.

After some rewards, Yuan Yu stood up and told the emperor directly that he wanted to go back and guard the border.She didn't see her father's livid face under the jade steps.Xun Changqing just glanced at Yuan Qingming's words, and teased: "The Yuan family has been loyal and brave for generations, and now there are so many generals, you should come back and rest, don't worry, we will talk about it after you get married."

When it comes to marriage, Yuan Xun saluted and kowtowed. He was both happy and excited. He was not interested in the gold, silver and jewelry as rewards. He only hoped that he and A Su would be recognized by their parents.

The last person on the merit list is Wei Lingci. Xun Chang smiled lightly, stood up, with a warm expression, and said gently: "In that case, I will hold a banquet in Zhaoyang Palace tonight to clean up the wind and dust for you, and retreat to the court." , Lord Wei, please stop."

Except for Gu Liangmu, the biggest hero was not given a reward, which made many people understand that the former is from the empress dowager's mother's family, and the latter is the emperor's teacher. Both of them are not ordinary people. out.

Xun Changqing walked down the imperial steps after the gate of Hanyuan Hall was closed and the sound of footsteps disappeared outside the corridor. The phoenix crown on her head made her breathless. , just feel better.

She gently took Wei Lingci's hand, and smiled like a child, "I'll take you to a place, that's good. Let's walk over without using the imperial chariot, lest I take you and don't like this feeling."

Seeing her gentle expression, Wei Lingci still held her back and touched her forehead. It was cold there, not scorching hot. She was slightly relieved and said, "Why hasn't your wind and cold gone for a long time? I see you are not in the mood today." .”

"Fengchi, big or small, I'm fine. I'll be happy when you come back, and I'll be fine soon," Xun Changqing said nonsense solemnly, with an unprecedented warmth in his chest. She smiled and said: "You I'm happy to be back alive."

That dream is not real, it just represents the past, I shouldn't think about it all the time.

Xun Changqing walked out step by step with Wei Lingci. The sun outside was very good. The imperial physician these days always advised her to bask in the sun more to get rid of the cold, but when she saw the sun, she thought of the fire in her dream. willing to come out.

Today is different, someone is with you, so the dream cannot be taken seriously.

She was overjoyed, Wei Lingci had countless waves in his mind, and he held her tightly in his hands, "Why don't you reward Gu Liangmu, it's not reasonable."

"Guliang Mu is the nephew of the Empress Dowager's natal family. His father has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager. I have to ask the Empress Dowager how to reward her. Over the years, she has been getting farther and farther away from Gu Liang's family. I don't know whether to reward him lightly or generously. I can't decide what the Empress Dowager thinks. , just wait a few days."

Wei Lingci stopped talking, and the two of them stopped in front of Changle Palace at the same time, a palace that symbolizes the mother's rites and is everyone's dream.

There was no one in the palace, but at a glance, it was quite different from before. Wei Lingci saw that the flowers in the flower garden were in full bloom, but they were not gorgeous. I put a lot of thought into it.

The more we walked in, Wei Lingci became more surprised. There were no traces of the original Changle Palace here, the bricks and tiles were still there, and the style was different.

After entering the bedroom, the furnishings, pilasters, and bookcases were all made according to her favorite style, and there were even bookcases in the corner of the bedroom.She seemed to smell the scent of green grass, which was very fragrant, different from ordinary incense. She opened the south window, and outside was the green grass, which was vast and elegant.

Xun Changqing said softly: "You can plant some trees there. I don't know if you like peach blossoms or plum blossoms. I'll wait for you to come back and decide. It's spring, and it's easy to survive after transplanting."

Outside the south window, the blue clouds are faint, the sky is not stained with dust, quietly floating towards the south, the edge of the clouds is a little blue, the place is very clean, Xun Changqing stretches out his hand slightly, as if he touched the clouds, and the palm of his hand feels warm .

The sky is blue and the grass is green. At this time, Changle Palace is like a white cloth after washing, washing away the dirt and leaving clean.

"It's very clean here, and there is no trace of Shao Yun. Except for the roof and walls, I changed everything. I ordered people to burn incense every day. It has never been broken in three years. Ah Ci, I was thinking of changing your place." The palace, but this is the middle palace, and no palace can replace the glory and splendor of this place."

Looking at Xun Changqing's serious expression, Wei Lingci didn't say a word, his eyes were extremely gentle, he hugged her and sat down on the soft couch beside him, stroking her beautiful hair, the time was quiet, and he smiled: "Forget about that dream, that's good. Instead of living an ordinary life unhappy, why don't you trade those unhappy days for a happy time in this life?"

"Okay, what you do is good," Xun Changqing didn't continue to ask, took out the net in his arms, squatted down, took off the sachet from Wei Lingci's waist, and buckled the net On the silk thread of the sachet, it was tied back for her.

"Don't pick it up, it took me a long time to make it."

Xun Changqing's Taohua eyes sparkled, and he pointed at Wei Ling's words and said a word of praise, but the latter only took one look, and said, "Not doing business properly."

She turned a deaf ear to it, and put aside all the things in her heart, like a spring breeze, her pale face also turned rosy, and said with a smile: "In a few days, I will issue an imperial edict. Get ready, after the filial piety period is over, I will take you into Changle Palace."

This person has already arranged everything without her intervening. Wei Lingci nodded, saw the tiredness in her brows and eyes, saw the bed beside her, changed her clothes himself, and said, "I'm busy at the dinner party. Soldiers will also toast, you have someone prepare tea in advance, you can't really drink, you sleep first to refresh your spirits, I have to make arrangements when I return home, and then enter the palace to accompany you."

Afraid that Xun Changqing would disagree, she took off her court clothes, and added: "Tonight, I will stay in the palace to accompany you."

After arranging for the young majesty, the Ci chief Wei Ling called someone to guard him. He went to the imperial hospital and was looking for the emperor's pulse case to take a look. Xun Changqing has become more and more fond of reporting good news and not bad news over the years. His face was pale, not like ordinary people who had contracted a cold.

Went to Tai Hospital, Liu Yuanzheng was promoted to the head of the hospital during the time of the first emperor. After three dynasties, he held his own identity. When he saw Wei Lingci and other juniors, his attitude was acceptable, but he just wanted to see His Majesty's pulse case, but he was not allowed at all. .

Liu Yuanzheng was twirling his beard, and said: "Your Majesty's phoenix body is related to the Daqi State, and no one can borrow it without an imperial decree."

Wei Lingci came from the army, and did not bring the badge of Qianqiu Palace. Now she has nothing to do with Liu Yuanzheng, who is dedicated to his duty and pedantic. She endured it and walked out of the imperial hospital, and happened to meet Rihan to get the medicine , so I asked for a pair of medicine with many intentions, and went to the outside to find a private doctor for examination.

…………

In the twilight, the fish and dragons are diving, inside and outside Zhaoyang Hall, the lights are bright, and the moon is setting.The night in spring is the most comfortable time when the cold is not severe.

The positions in the hall are divided into clan relatives and courtiers, arranged in order according to rank, presenting the shape of a pyramid, and the closest to the emperor are Tang Mo, the head of civil servants, and Xunyi, king of Pingnan.

The two had deep grievances, and they never said a word during the banquet, but the general who returned to Beijing was full of pride, and drank boisterously below, which stirred up the atmosphere in Zhaoyang Hall, which was very different from the usual solemn and deserted banquet.

Before the banquet, Xun Changqing made it clear that don't be rigid, just have fun.

It was lively below, but the emperor's place was a bit deserted. The queen mother was not present today, and only Xun Changqing was sitting on the throne.However, the soldiers also know the etiquette. They heard that His Majesty is not feeling well today, and he is a delicate girl, so no one dared to toast.

Wei Lingci lived next to Tang Mo, and the two chatted a few words from time to time. The courtiers went over to toast frequently. It was a joy, and I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Today, the emperor was left alone by the crowd, and the protagonist Wei Lingci was entangled by others. She looked slightly at Xun Changqing, signaling that she should restrain the crowd, but Xun Changqing, who received the signal from his eyes, took a sip of tea with a smile and remained silent. sit there.

The two flirted with each other, which made Rihan laugh, secretly thinking that His Majesty doesn't know how to have fun, and if Lord Wei drinks too much, he will be sent back to the mansion, so why would he stay in the palace.

The hall was lively, and Xun Yi, who had been silent for a long time, picked up the wine cup and walked towards Wei Lingci, who also stood up when he saw this, only Tang Mo sat aside, his eyes wandered on the two of them as if watching a show.

The surrounding lights were bright and lively, and no one noticed it.Only the emperor who was seated saw the expressions of the two of them, and she finally stood up and walked over slowly.

Xun Yi handed the wine cup in his hand to Wei Lingci, and the claws on the python robe hovered in front of his chest. Although he hadn't been on the battlefield for a few years, the heroic spirit in his brows and eyes remained undiminished, and even faintly carried some unique murderous aura. He said with a smile: "Master Wei is not only the emperor's teacher, but also pacified the frontiers. He has contributed a lot. I would like to offer you a glass of wine for your majesty."

The liquid in the wine cup was clear, reflecting Xun Yi's friendly face. Wei Lingci drank a lot of wine and didn't want to drink. Besides, Xun Yi didn't know what the toast meant. .”

Even a toast cannot be declined, let alone the clan prince, who can't lose face, she still wanted to take the wine cup, but someone was faster than her, and snatched Xun Yi's wine cup before her fingertips touched the wine cup.

She was dressed in a dazzling red dress, tall and tall, with an elegant posture and a faint aura that people couldn't look directly at, which made people feel a sense of surrender, and said with a smile: "The prince should also respect me first when toasting, master." I drank a lot, I can't drink any more, why don't I drink this glass of wine instead."

The voice is clear and clear, and she calls herself 'zhen', the majesty of the emperor, which makes people unable to object, but Xun Yi seems displeased, and wants to take back the glass of wine, but Xun Changqing drinks it with her head up first, and the speed is fast, Without sloppy.
