Changqing Ci

In the imperial capital in autumn, the maple leaves are red, and the scenery is not as good as in spring, but the lively events always attract people's hearts.

Many years ago, when Empress Ningyuan was in power, she had made the frontiers willing to submit to her vassals, paying tribute every year and paying grain every year, which saved the two countries from hundreds of years of slaughter and the destruction of mountains and rivers.

The frontier comes to pay tribute in winter every year. This year, in order to propose a marriage, the trip was specially brought forward.When entering the city, the imperial guards lead the way, and the common people go out and stand on both sides to watch the carriages on the frontier of the street. Needless to say, the tribute goods are enviable.

The young man in the lead, with black hair like a cloud, a well-dressed vermilion robe made of leather, black boots with bright patterns, and narrow shoulders, sat on the horse and looked at the people on both sides, and waved his hands with a smile. A force that cannot be ignored, this is the prince Anaxuan who proposed to marry him in the frontier.

On the tall building of the wine shop, the windows were open, and there were several people standing there. The younger ones stood on tiptoes through the window because they were a bit short. The guard behind him, Ling Ci, didn't say a word, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly. Behind the door, he said: "You stayed in the imperial capital just to see the prince's demeanor?"

The two were supposed to leave a month ago, but Xun Changqing didn't want to leave Beijing until the border prince entered Beijing.

In the past month, the two got along very well, Xun Changqing didn't care much about these weird words, closed the window, sat back on the stool, and said: "Master, is it the best policy for the two countries to have a relationship? "

Xun Changqing seldom asked her about the imperial court. Wei Lingci was a little surprised. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he smiled a little and answered her: "A small family is a big country, and marriage is the bond that maintains the two countries. Naturally, we should abandon the small family. protect the country at home."

"But Xiaojia is also a family, and a human being. As a family, once the two countries go to war, she will be the first to suffer. There are so many ties that maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Why not choose this path?" She lowered her eyes and smiled sadly. With regret on his face, "Sister Asu is an innocent person, but she has no room for marriage."

On the surface of Wei Ling's words, she still has the dignified color in Xun Changqing's memory. She was born in Shangrao, Jiangnan, and is more like a white lotus in the imperial capital, not polluted by this filthy place. His arrogance and remarkable literary talent.

She pondered for a while, with indifference in her eyes, and even more rare regret, and said: "Changqing, you are only looking at this matter from the perspective of yourself and the fifth princess. If you deal with it from the perspective of His Majesty, will you agree with him?" The approach is the same. The country is different from the family, and your view is too one-sided."

In the imperial court, it has always been to sacrifice the small to take the big. Although the emperor's approach is not the way of a benevolent father, it is an act of a benevolent emperor.At present, the status of women is not as good as before. It is common for princesses to get married.

"I understand, it's just that I can't accept it." Deep down in her heart, she was finally touched intolerable, Yuan Yu's heart was just like her previous life, it was nothing more than getting together with the one she loved, it was so simple, but there were all sorts of dangers in front of her eyes.The road between the two of Yuan Xun may be even more tortuous.

Anaxuan is a talented person, elegant and handsome, and rare in the royal family of Bianjiang. He proposes to marry Princess Daqi because he wants to use Daqi's power as his own help.

The marriage between the two countries is naturally a matter of celebration for all people.Within a few days, the five princesses, Xun Yisu and the frontier affairs, were a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

The fifth princess, Xun Yisu, was weak since she was a child, and she seemed to have no one in the palace. The marriage was imminent, and in order to save face, the Ministry of Rites gave her the title of Yihe.Therefore, Xun has always been called Princess Yihe.

She lived in the same palace with her mother and concubine, and a few drops of autumn rain fell, making the air even colder.

Xun Yisu became more and more bored in the palace, lying in front of the window, listening to the sound of the rain, she never cared about court affairs, but she would always be distracted here, women in the palace should not seriously ignore the outside affairs.When the queen approached Madam Yuan to talk about the marriage, she knew it was the queen's wishful thinking, and she didn't take it to heart.

The imperial guards are in charge of the safety of the emperor's property, which is equivalent to handing over his head to Yuan Qingming's hands. If his daughter marries his son, it will be a happy event for the common people, but the royal family is different. dispensable.

At that time, it will be easy to find a position.The emperor sat on the throne at the age of ten. After more than thirty years, the people in the court are ups and downs. I am afraid that he will value the seat behind him more, so how can he allow others to covet him.

Sure enough, a few days later, the emperor found out about this matter, and he reprimanded the empress overtly and secretly. It was the first time that he did not give her face after being married for decades. Although everyone in the palace did not understand why the emperor was so embarrassing to the empress, she knew that the emperor He was warning her not to be involved with the Yuan family.

The three great families of martial arts controlled the military forces of Qi. The daughter of the Guliang family was married to King Pingnan as the princess. Although she died young, the child she gave birth to was also a royal son. Although the two were distributed in the north and south, the relationship was severed. no.

Behind the third prince is Gu Liang's lineage, which has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses; if the queen and the second prince want to fight, they will only want to use their brains in the Yuan family, but the intention is too obvious.Prince Pingnan is the younger brother of the emperor, so no matter who ascends the throne, I'm afraid it won't have too much influence.

Therefore, Xun Yisu was not worried that Yuan Yu would marry the second prince, but she never expected that Bian Jiang would come to propose marriage, and she was the most suitable candidate, there was no escape, no escape, she could only follow the holy will.

She originally wanted to see Yuan Yu again, but recently she found that Yuan Yu was avoiding her, so it meant that Yuan Yu had succumbed to the imperial power.There is nothing to ask for if there is no fruit, her heart has sunk into a trough in the past few days, quietly watching the rain outside, her mind is far away, and a layer of desolate mist has formed in her heart.

A few days ago, she went to the Hanyuan Palace to ask His Majesty. She remembered what she said: "As a royal daughter, I should share my father's worries. Now that I am married far away, I am afraid that I will never return. The son and Yuan Yu also It's a handkerchief acquaintance, can you let her send your son to the frontier?"

With this feeling and reason, and the two are both women, how could the emperor not agree, and immediately decreed that Yuan Yu be sent off as an envoy.

A dream in Handan is worse than drinking a bottle of Huaxu wine.

Changle Palace.

The empress was reprimanded, and the whole palace knew that she also lost face. Even if she was angry, she had nothing to vent, and could only vent her anger on the palace people.He also heard that Wei Lingci had accepted Xun Changqing as his disciple, and actually hid her from her. He hated Princess Pingnan in his heart. He usually looked humble and respectful, but in his heart he acted like this.

But what made her even more angry was her son, who was obsessed with ghosts and was so obsessed with Wei Ling's poems that he didn't even care about political affairs.She looked at the memorabilia of the second prince who was stopped under the table, and she was so angry that her heart was on fire. It actually said that she hoped that His Majesty would bestow a marriage to fulfill his and Wei Ling's poems.

She was so angry that she tore up the memorial and threw it on the ground. She did not forget to step on it a few times, causing the phoenix crown to tremble, and her face was very ugly, like a shrew in the market. Sitting on the phoenix seat, drinking a cup of tea quietly, the gloomy complexion faded slightly.

Coincidentally, Xun Yiran came to pay his respects at this time, and the anger burned on the top of his head again.It's just that the identity of the prince needs to save some face, and the palace people on both sides are screened off.She looked at her son standing in the hall, but did not call him to sit down, and said coldly: "Your Highness is afraid that there will be Wei Ling's words, and you will forget about me and Your Majesty."

These words are like a stone hitting the surface of the water, stirring up a little splash, and then calming down again in an instant.Xun Yiran knew why the queen said this, and followed her words: "The queen mother is wrong, since Yuan Yu can't marry, what's the problem with marrying Wei Lingci, Princess Ning'an and the emperor father can also be regarded as green plums, Maybe in the future, Emperor Father will look at my son more often."

At that time, the late emperor once said that Wei Xiao, the princess of Ning'an County, would be the heir, but Wei Xiao refused, claiming that he was a few years older than the emperor, which violated the rules, and went to the south of the Yangtze River.This matter is not a secret matter, most people know it, some people say that Wei Xiao gave her the posthumous position, if Wei Xiaoyong, I'm afraid she won't be so beautiful.

Xun Yiran's words clearly hit her sore spot, making her unable to calm down anymore, and scolded Xun Yiran, "Being lost by that foxy son, what qualifications does she have to be your first wife, and the side concubine is not worthy, anyway, you don't deserve it." Marry her, now that your father is in poor health, you should think about how to win his trust."

The queen has said these words many times, and she frowned when she heard the preface, but the queen is his mother, and she only thinks about him, so he endured it and said other things to distract her, and said loudly : "The queen mother, the son-in-law ordered the subordinates to ask the father to cut down the vassal. There is no war on the frontier, and Gu Lianggan still holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. It is unreasonable."

Gu Liangqian is the cousin uncle of the third prince. As long as the military power is in his hands, it will be his nightmare every day.

After saying this, the queen really laughed and said: "The key point is that your father treats the Guliang clan very generously. I wonder if he agrees."

The Guliang clan is the mother clan of the empress dowager, and the emperor's father, Gu Liangxin, is Gu Liangqian's uncle. With such a heavy bloodline, the emperor naturally values ​​the Guliang clan, and favors him more than others.

Xun also shook his head, and said to himself: "If he disagrees, join the officials to persuade him, father will consider it, add some gossip at the right time, father will think about cutting the vassal, if Gu Lianggan disagrees, send Xun Wouldn't it be great to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

He increasingly found that the power of the Pingnan Palace was becoming more and more powerful, and the foreigners only knew about the Great Qi Pingnan King, but did not know of His Majesty.Moreover, Xun Yi's mother, Xun Qihuan, is the eldest princess, more qualified to inherit the throne than the late emperor.Xun Qihuan didn't have such thoughts, so it's possible that Xun Yi didn't.

The queen twitched her lips and said with a smile: "So, you can arrange it, discuss it with your uncle, and proceed with it. Be careful."

After Xun Yiran nodded in response, he withdrew.

When the two were talking just now, Xun Yiran respectfully listened to Jin, and he didn't disagree with what the queen said, but the more he said this, the more he showed that he never wavered in his desire to marry Wei Lingci. The queen knew that persuasion was useless, and immediately ordered people to go Find Wang Qi.

Wang Qi is from the Shao family, but when she got married more than 20 years ago, he followed her and did all the shameful things.

This time, too.

The task is simpler than usual, kill, kill a woman!

Wang Qi was dressed as an eunuch, with a scar on his eyebrows, his face was very ugly, it was normal when he was not smiling, but now after accepting the task with a smile, his appearance was even more ferocious.

The author has something to say: Master's first peach blossom...

Finding out that there is nothing, the relationship has taken a step further, and I am about to leave the imperial capital and go to Lingyunle.

Good night, okay!
