My mother attaches great importance to this dispatch of troops. Usually when the frontier generals or foreign officials go to the post, it is ordered that they should leave the city on the same day, but this time they specially ordered the Si Tianjian to make an auspicious day for Liang, so that Li Dan and I will send Dugu Yuankang and Wu Chengsi to Wang Xiaojie to outside the city.

Unsurprisingly, this decree caused a little commotion, not because I was also included in the sending team by my mother-of course, this is a matter that is extremely inconsistent with etiquette, but compared with Li Dan sending the army to the army, it is quite different. It seems insignificant-but because this is the first time since Li Dan was deposed, he officially appeared as a prince and prince in non-New Year, grand court gatherings and weddings.

Li Dan's identity is very ambiguous.In public, his mother often called him "emperor's heir", not the crown prince, not the prince, but a vague identity that could be leaned on either side; his mother bestowed him with the title of the country, but the land was not in accordance with the convention In the land of Zhou, it is a land under the jurisdiction of the capital of the gods; as a prince, he neither leaves the palace to open a mansion, nor leaves the capital to become a vassal, but lives in the East Palace, where only crown princes can live. After leaving the pavilion, The guardian chosen for him was also done according to the example of the crown prince, but he did not have any staff members in the Eastern Palace, only Zhou Wangfu; he was crowned king for a long time, except for extremely important—and extremely useless—occasions, he almost never met with his officials .

Now he finally came out, as a prince, holding the guard of honor of the emperor, seeing off the army.

Needless to say, the hearts of the ministers were agitated, and even the lieutenant officers were greatly encouraged. I looked out the car window and could clearly see the faces of the sergeants in the front row blushing with excitement—the mother gently and deftly threw a Li Dan supported me calmly, and tested the support of the people in the army.

Apart from seeing Li Dan off, the second most prominent thing was the fact that Dugu Shao led the army alone as a woman. This time, the court did not object to her because she was a woman—but the actual reason for the opposition was precisely That's why—everything just said that she has low qualifications and needs more experience, but her mother is very tough, without going through Fengge Luantai, she directly issued a hemp paper from the palace to worship Yuankang's father and daughter as generals, and selected Yubayashi elite as the former army , Under the name of Dugu Shao, he was given the title "Zhendong Army", and Dugu Shao was named "Zhendong General" and doctor Yinqing Guanglu.

Compared with Dugu Shao's prestigious appointment on hemp paper, Cui Mingde's appointment is much more cryptic. His mother only gave her a sealed letter, ordering her to "try to check the affairs of the former military secretary office", and did not let her go with the army. Instead, I only gave a team of guards to join the former army in Hebei, and ordered to set off on the same day. I only had time to tell her how precious I was.However, although Dugu Shao's appointment was eye-catching and was sent by imperial decree, I couldn't say a few words to her. I just toasted a glass of wine with Li Dan to her father and her, said a few words of encouragement, and made an appointment. When I came back, I went to a wine shop outside the city to drink. I saw the military flag waving and heard the sound of boots. The soldiers set off and left the capital.

Li Dan guarded until the army was far away and the dust subsided before turning around. I saw that the congregation was about to escort him back to the palace, so I hurriedly opened the car door to stop him. Passed the reins, got on the horse, and tied the bridle with him: "Sanlang is not in a hurry to go back? Walk with me."

Li Dan looked at me in surprise, and looked at the older people around him. Those people looked at me and I looked at you. It was a few feet long, leaving the two of us alone in the middle, walking slowly.

I took a closer look at Li Dan. He had grown a little beard and looked more like his father. However, his expression and posture were not far behind Li Sheng. In my memory, Li Sheng was always graceful, even if he was frowning. When eyebrows are raised, there is also a deep and steady look of being a king and a brother. Li Dan can also show some stability when he is serious. Frizzy and immature, even if he is frowning or angry, he doesn't look majestic. I don't know if he is really too young or I am old.

Li Dan was embarrassed by my look, he moved his body, stepped forward half a step before urging the horse, and said in a low voice: "Sister, do you have something to tell me?"

I didn't answer him, just looked at the field in the distance, and said indifferently: "Flowers and willows are beautiful, all things strive for spring, such a beautiful scenery, isn't it worth you and me to stop and watch?"

Li Dan laughed, wanted to say something, felt coy for a while, then held back, I squinted at him: "Are you trying to say 'spring is over'?"

Li Dan moved his body unnaturally, and said with a smile: "No, I just wanted to say... Sis, you don't often have such flirtatious feelings."

I laughed: "The same person may not have the same mood in the morning and at night. How can there be something unusual?" I glanced at him and said, "Like you, you study well on weekdays. My masters and I took the exams and all went to the top of the class." Jia, when I arrived in front of A Niang, I suddenly gave the wrong answer, which is not called an imperial decree."

Li Dan clenched his hands, and the big horse stopped naturally. After he urged, Fang slowly started to move again, and smiled at me: "Sister is really powerful, I know that."

I heard other meanings from his words, and raised my eyebrows to look at him. He lowered his head, his hands were hanging on the horse's back, and his expression was relaxed: "I have nothing to hide from my sister. I really did something special that day. The answer was wrong, and I deliberately wanted to make Auntie unhappy."

He looks a bit like his father now, I looked at him quietly, not in a hurry to ask, he was not in a hurry to explain to me, just looked down at the ground, straightened up after a while, and looked at me sideways: " Sister, do you know King Song Shining?"

I rolled my eyes at him: "I don't know." The name sounds familiar, and I must have heard the allusions, but I really can't remember these title years, except for the very famous ones—unless I know that I want to date someone. Tell me, memorize it in advance.

Li Dan smiled: "This man is the younger brother of Liu Ziye, the abolished emperor of the Song Dynasty. The posthumous title is actually the same as the last word of my sister. I changed the word, so my sister didn't remember it all at once - because it was with my father. Being favored, his elder brother was upset, so he killed him after he ascended the throne, he was only ten years old when he died, and his last words said, "May I never be born again in the emperor's house."

I heard about this. I raised my eyes and glanced at Li Dan. The little guy immediately let out a long sigh and said, "I don't blame myself for being born in the emperor's family, but I just feel...compared to this King Shining, or Emperor Han Zhi and Young Emperor, it is really a blessing to be able to be a prince safely and live a carefree life." It seemed that Wei Wei was afraid that I would tell the truth, and added a special sentence: "It is also A Niang who is kind and benevolent. "

I looked at him suspiciously: "Who told you what? Or did someone teach you to do this? The current situation is changing, so don't trust people easily."

Li Dan said: "It's not that someone taught me, nor did anyone just tell me anything. Although I'm not sensitive, I vaguely remember things from when I was young, and I've heard some things from that year recently...I'm not my mother's son, It’s the son of King Yong, Aniang’s own son, the only one that exists today is Brother Luling King... right?”

I nodded silently, not surprised that he would know about it, but a little surprised that he would mention it at this time, pay attention to him, and saw that there was no resentment on his face: "I haven't seen my brother much, I don't know his character How, I have heard that although he is friendly, his temper is not very gentle, and sometimes he is easy to be agitated. After being aunt..., he left Beijing in a hurry, and he was very anxious. .”

I said: "Aniang casts a palace for him, and sends people to inquire every year, it's not too bad."

Li Dan said: "I'm afraid it's not very good."

I didn't answer, walked quietly for a while, and heard him say again: "Aniang is old, her heirs are undecided, and the court is uneasy. Those who are expected to be in that position are nothing more than King Wei, King Luling, and me. If King Wei, then Needless to say, I'm afraid I can't get it if I ask for Liu Ziluan. If I am a brother...although I can guarantee a moment of peace, but I am not a real brother, but I have usurped the position of a real brother, and I will stay in the capital for a long time. , although there may not be such a thing about King Shining in the future, I am afraid that life will be difficult."

I frowned and said, "So you should behave well in front of A Niang."

He smiled wryly: "When I said 'I hope to be in that position', I added myself, but I was actually just making up the number. I am not the son of the late emperor, and my father is the prince who was deposed by the late emperor himself. , but in fact, it is just a side evil of the clan branch, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility. If Aniang really has the heart, she will not be summoned again because of a small quiz that is not Chinese, and there is no news after that time. Youngest son, no matter how much you love him, there is a limit. What's more, I have been in that position since I was a child. It looks beautiful, but in fact I don't have freedom everywhere. It's better to be an idle clan and live a leisurely life."

I was a little confused by what he said: "You say that the king of Wei and the king of Luling... will be of no benefit to you, and at the same time, you say that you want to live in peace. Isn't it contradictory?" With his knowledge, he would never have imagined such a deep place—it’s not that he is not smart, but his age is there, and the backside is too deep and tortuous—this must be induced by someone secretly, and someone else is in the deep palace. , without meeting the officials, who can exert such an influence on him?Could it be that other than those in front of the imperial court, are there any other high-ranking people in the palace hiding among the eunuchs and palace people?

Li Dan smiled and said: "It's not contradictory." Before I asked him, he looked around and winked at me: "I heard that the reason why my sister got her current name is because she was born at the time when Lubu came to Beijing after the border victory? The first emperor also specially changed my sister's year name to "Linde"? My sister had ingenious ideas when she was young, and she often made surprising and witty remarks. In recent years, she has frequently made strange tricks. These are all the gods and gods in my sister's dream? I heard from the college students from Silla that there was a queen in their place earlier, who inherited the throne as a princess, expanded the territory, and became famous. Sister...Have you ever thought about it? , follow suit?"
