Tang Xuan

Outside the hall, it was snowing all over the sky, and inside the hall, because of the hot spring bath, it looked like a happy spring.

"Your Majesty, I can't get angry anymore. Seeing you today frightens my concubine." Concubine Liang gently kneaded Emperor Ming's head. The light yellow gauze could hardly conceal her alluring figure.

"Alas!" Emperor Ming sighed for a long time, and said to his beloved concubine, "On weekdays, Jin'er is simple and straightforward. Although I don't expect him to become a great talent, I have always liked him very much. My beloved concubine, but I Did you treat him badly?"

"What's your Majesty talking about?" Concubine Liang looked at the man with closed eyes in front of her. He was the master of the world.When they first met in the palace, Concubine Liang fell in love with this man who was enough to be her father.A few years passed by in a hurry, and the music was really harmonious, and the case was as good as eyebrows.But the deep palace is difficult and dangerous, and the woman who only wanted to be a white-haired man at the beginning had to be contaminated with scheming - after all, Emperor Ming was not young, she had to think about her future plans.

"Your Majesty has always loved his sons and daughters without being arrogant and indulgent. You can only blame the King of Shu... only blame Jin'er for being bewitched. Now that you have severely punished the bewitched person, you will make Jin'er reflect on himself. He will not disappoint His Majesty's thoughts." Concubine Liang Guifei finished speaking, then changed the subject, and said, "Your Majesty, before the winter hunting, you ordered Liyuan to rehearse the tune, and now it is considered a small achievement. Let's listen to it together tomorrow, okay?"

With beauty in his bosom, Emperor Ming thought of the song again in his mind, and only then did he truly relax, and gradually fell asleep in the arms of the beauty.

After being raised for more than two months, Lang Huai's broken bone has just healed. As long as he pays attention to it for a few more days, he should be healed.She knew what Mingda was thinking, but she didn't tell the truth. After Tao Jun brought the things, she went to look for her with a smile.

"Mingda, go and change into your short clothes." Lang Huai handed her the long and narrow box in his hand, and said with a smile, "I know you want to learn how to use a sword. I asked someone to forge this short sword for you according to Chunjun. The amount has been reduced by two components, so it should be easier for you to use."

Mingda's eyes lit up, and he opened the wooden box, and there was a sick dagger lying inside, a scabbard wrapped in sandalwood and fish skin, without a sword grid, and Mingda took it out with a swipe, and pulled out the sword. Mingda couldn't figure out what it was.

"The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers. Although it is a sharp weapon for killing, the sword bearer must have a gentlemanly demeanor." Lang Huai had already turned around and walked into the small courtyard. "The swordsman, the skill of sword dancing. Whether it is the elegance of grasping flowers, or the thunderbolt, or the calmness of drinking water, they are all swords. There is no trick, and the sword dances to the sword, but it cannot be understood in words." She took off Chunjun from her waist, gestured and continued: "Master once said that when a woman practices sword, it should be a sword dance. Only a few can transform the sword dance into a real sword weapon, and achieve everyone."

As soon as the words fell, Lang Huai took off the scabbard, and danced in a square foot.Chun Jun is a three-foot dagger, but when Lang Huai uses it, the sword intent falters, but it seems that there is no sword everywhere.

Her posture is romantic, but she is tough and straightforward, without a trace of rouge.Compared with hunting and dancing swords in winter that day, I feel more comfortable, like a dragon roaming across the river and sea, unrestrained, looking at the world calmly and calmly.Even Li Erlan Jun and the others were fascinated by it.

Holding his breath and retracting his sword, Lang Huai turned his head, smiled and said to the envious Mingda: "You can learn slowly from the most basic sword moves and footwork. Come, I will teach you."

Not to mention Lang Huai's side, Li Yu was really bored in his own residence.Emotional injuries are the most difficult to get along with, and Li Yuben is an infatuated person.These days, apart from Mingda who came to see him, he just went to Minghuang's residence on time to say hello.He locked himself in the house, just writing with a pen, but before he knew it, he drew all the piano books.

On that day, Li Yu had no choice but to come to Anxiang Tower to bid farewell to Qinshu.He knew that Qin Shu was not an ordinary woman, so he spoke happily.Sure enough, the Qin book was only silent for a moment, then fetched the Yaoqin, said with a light smile, "It's a little girl's fortune to be able to become a confidant with His Highness. Today, I will bid farewell to you, and I will present you with a song. I hope you will take care of it."

Tuned and played, it is full of joy and well-being, without the slightest hint of sadness.Standing outside through the gauze curtain, Li Yu was insane.

For more than a month, the piano and the instrument were harmonious, and Li Yu hadn't experienced such a peaceful state of mind for many years.Even though he knew in his heart that Qinshu was not as ordinary as it seemed, he still couldn't wait for the warmth.

Alone and dejected, Li Yu picked up the dried-up brush and touched the remaining ink, but the brushwork was full of sadness.

Huaqing soup washes the turbid heart, and the eyes are full of spring, but they ignore it.

Linglong dice and red beans, lovesickness is hard to give up.

Stopping the pen, Li Yu stared at it for a long time, two lines of tears slowly fell down, wishing to die for a moment.The pretense in front of others can't resist the true meaning in the heart.

It has been more than ten years since he left this city. Shang Zixuan lifted the curtains of his car, watched the rushing caravan crowd, and followed them into Chang'an from the Golden Light Gate, heading for the West Market.Lang Huai's letter to her was simple and to the point, bluntly saying that now he is in charge of the Lang family and needs his own people, and hoped that she would go with Lu Laosan who was ordered to be transferred to the Imperial Forest Army.

Without hesitation for a moment, Shang Zixuan ordered his subordinates to pack their bags, contact Lu Laosan in Shule City, and set a time to return to Chang'an City in winter.

However, when you act on the road, it will be late spring and March.Emperor Ming was still watching the dance music in Huaqing Palace every day, and he didn't even go to the morning and afternoon.Shangguan Yuan took the opportunity to control the government, and the officials of the six ministries changed, all following Li Qian's wishes.

Opening up and flourishing, it turned into decline and withered quickly.

"Shopkeeper Shang, the people in the mansion have already been connected. Madam has orders, so I invite the shopkeeper to live in the mansion. Everything has been taken care of. The residence of General Lu, Madam has also taken care of it. Please just rest assured." , is an orphan rescued from the horse bandits, young and a barbarian.The child knew how to be grateful, so he begged Shang Zixuan to follow her and repay his kindness.

Shang Zixuan saw that he was smart and quick to learn, so he named him Shang Yan and took him in as a servant.In the past six months, he has been able to take over most of the things in Shang Zixuan's hands.When returning to Chang'an this time, it is natural to take him with him.

"So, follow Madam's arrangement." Shang Zixuan nodded, eyebrows raised lightly, as if he was just a passerby, not a visitor.

The small courtyard prepared by Wei Shi for Shang Zixuan is only separated from Langhuai's courtyard by the garden, and it is elegant and clean.She was too important, so she only took Mei Jun with her until night.

"Xuan'er," Webster looked at, and Shang Zixuan and Shangguan Hong's eyebrows were not exactly alike, but resembled their mother, but Webster still saw the traces of Shangguan Hong, a talented Chang'an, in her eyebrows and eyes: "These years, you have suffered so much." .”

Webster's language is sincere, and the tears are already falling before the words are finished.Shang Zixuan's heart tightened, and he had nothing to say.Fortunately, Mei Jun comforted me for a long time, and then stopped crying.

"At the time when Huai'er sent a letter saying that he had found you, it was really like a dream." Wei Shi took Shang Zixuan's hand, sat down together, looked at her, and said: "Zixuan, the current situation is like this, Shangguan Yuan is attached Duke Huai, you have to stay out of the way for the time being. But Huai'er asked me to tell you that in the future, she will clear up your father's grievances and return you and Qi'er innocent."

"Ah Huai has a heart." Shang Zixuan said with a smile: "Ma'am, in fact, Zixuan has already seen through it. Those mundane things can no longer trap me. Now, Zixuan only hopes that he can do a good job in the business and help Ah bosom."

Having been doing business on the Silk Road for many years, Shang Zixuan is no longer the hesitant musician he was back then.Seeing her expression, Wei Shi knew that this was the truth, and said with a smile: "Since Zixuan has such ambitions, my Lang family will definitely not bear it!"

After sitting down again, Webster said: "You don't have to worry about Qi'er. Huai'er personally sent him to the ethnology school, and he was very competitive. The students did very well in the exam, and the master also likes him. He will take a rest in the school in the future. , the mansion will pick it up, and rest assured!"

Shang Zixuan didn't ask any questions all this time, he was really relieved at this moment, he sent Wei Shi to the door, and then turned back to the room.

Two days later, Shang Zixuan was looking at the accounts inside the house, when suddenly it became lively outside.Only Shang Ziyi shouted: "Sister, sister! I'm back!"

Shang Zixuan lost the account book, just stood up, Shang Ziyi had already snatched the door and came in, looking carefully, he was well-groomed, although not luxurious, but he could see that he had a good life.Before the siblings could say anything more, they hugged their heads and wept.After many years, Shang Zixuan naturally knew that Lang Huai brought his younger brother to Chang'an, so he would not stay in the mansion forever.

If you don't think about it, you can't become a talent. Seeing him now, he is really much better than the child before. He behaves and speaks with integrity. It seems that the master taught him with heart.

The siblings talked for a long time, until Webster sent someone to treat them to dinner, and finally wiped away their tears.

Halfway through March, in the Hongwen Museum, the prime minister and other ministers are discussing the issue of the Anxi army's township payment.There has been an imperial decree on this matter for a long time, so there is not much controversy.After the discussion was over, Shangguan Yuan invited Li Qian to have a drink at his Ci Zhuang.

Shangguan Yuan became the patriarch as the second son, and then attached to Li Qian, and climbed to the high position of prime minister. He was really proud of himself.The two flattered each other and had a great time.When he was drunk, Li Qian also let go of his Huaiwang airs, and hooked up with Shangguan Yuan.

"Your Highness, although the King of Shu has been implicated this time, taking this opportunity, all the six departments except the Ministry of War have become our possessions, and the deal is also a good deal. Only the Ministry of War, Yuchi is really simple and honest, no matter how you buy it, it's useless .”

Li Qian thought about it, hated it, squeezed his wine glass, and said: "It's okay, this time Pei Qing also won the second place, and the father appreciated it very much. I have advised him a few times, and he should be transferred to the Ministry of War. Buy him If you don’t come, let him stand aside and see what else he can do!”

"However," Li Qian looked to the east, and said with a sinister smile, "Boss, it's time to move."

"Your Highness, what do you mean, Anxiang Tower?" Shangguan Yuan's eyes lit up, and the two looked at each other.When it was already late, Shangguan Yuan carefully sent him out of the village.

It was a bit cold at night, Li Qian woke up from the wine, but when he saw the servants following him, he was upset for a while.Qin Shu is really a rare beauty, and it is for nothing that Li Yu is a fool.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel evil fire all over his body.When he returned to his bedroom, he waved his hand.The father-in-law who has always followed him naturally knows his master's temper.He hurriedly exited the dormitory and closed the door.

Not long after, the voice of the court lady begging for mercy came from inside, mixed with Li Qian's muffled groans from time to time, and soon disappeared completely in the night.

On the same night, it was rare for Emperor Ming not to stay at Concubine Liang's place.There was only Lu Youlin beside him, holding a palace lantern, looking from afar, he couldn't recognize that this was the Ninth Five-Year Master of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there is heavy dew in the night, you..." Lu Youlin followed carefully, and asked, "To the girl?"

"I heard that Lang Huai is teaching Mingda swordsmanship, do you know how Mingda is learning?" Emperor Ming walked casually, but not in the direction of the inner palace.

"The girl is determined to learn well, and I heard that she is very hardworking. It's just that the captain only teaches a little every day, and the girl is in a hurry." Lu Youlin looked in the direction and knew that Emperor Ming was going to the Ci Zhuang of the Mugong Mansion. Then he went on to say: "I heard from the imperial doctor's pulse that the girl has practiced for a few days, but it is really beneficial. Captain Lang Du is really hardworking, what do you think?"

Lu Youlin almost grew up with Emperor Ming, and he is even closer than Lang Shixin. Emperor Ming knew that his companion had already guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I know that child is a general, but he has a very kind heart. He also knows how to measure, so he decided to take a look for Mingda."

"It's just that I didn't expect it. It exceeded my expectations." Ming Huang's heart warmed up, and he walked faster: "You have followed me for more than 50 years, and you know what I think. If the fourth child wants to fight, I don't want to care about it."

"The crown prince is a bit weak after all. It would be good if he can be tested. If he succeeds in the future, the fourth child and the others will not be in any danger. If the fourth child can win the fight, I will naturally arrange them far away." When Emperor Ming said these words, Lu Youlin was terrified and dared not answer.

"The only thing I can't worry about is Mingda." Ming Huang thought about this girl, and his tone became gentle: "She has a strong temper, but she doesn't want to be restrained, and I can't bear to use her title to restrain her. I have to find someone for her." She likes it and can take it on, if something happens in the future, she can handle her husband."

"In the whole of Chang'an, I only see Lang Huai, who can be interesting." Ming Huang said, and walked outside the door of Mu Gongci Zhuang.Seeing that it was Lu Youlin, the guards outside the door rushed to greet him, and seeing Lu Youlin's attitude towards the people walking in front, they knew that the Holy Majesty had come.The servants of Lang's mansion have always been strict, so he dared not say anything, but respectfully welcomed him into the manor, and waved his hand to tell others to report to the master.

It was late at night, and the two were talking with warm wine in a pavilion in the village.The night breeze was cool, and Lang Shixin ordered people to close the thick windows for the pavilion, so that they only faced the moon, and stayed there.

There was no one else around, Ming Huang smiled and said: "There is a neighbor, sit down."

Lu Youlin saw that Emperor Ming was in great spirits, and couldn't bear to refuse any longer, so he just sat down, brought up the warm wine himself, and said, "Then today, my little one, let's serve San Ye and Mr. Lang with more wine and vegetables!"

His words make people recall the past.In the past, Emperor Ming was still the King of Jin, who loved hunting and enjoying mountains and rivers.That is, with only Lu Youlin and Lang Shixin by his side, he traveled all over the world.Drinking against the moon like this is really commonplace.But now, a ninth-five-year-old man and a prince of the state have not had a good time to drink together for ten years.

"Third brother, you have been really tired these years." Since he did not talk about it in detail, Lang Shixin had no choice but to confide in a long time: "People like Shangguan Yuan should not be prime ministers. You are too hurtful for Fang Wei. heart."

Emperor Ming was not angry either, and smiled while holding the lamp: "Actually, you and I both know that back then, I didn't want to be emperor."

Lang Shixin sighed, Ruizong was the only son of Empress Gaozong, and had to inherit the Datong.Ruizong had three sons in total, Emperor Ming was the third son, and he had no predestined relationship with the great position, but Ruizong liked Minghuang the most, and he was granted the title of King Jin.

If Emperor Ming hadn't been killed back then, he might not have survived.The past is like wind, but it is all blood!Lang Shixin suddenly understood Emperor Ming's state of mind. "Third brother, now, I'm afraid I won't have a good time for a few years. If my useless son makes a big mistake, please give him his life, and I will be content in the underworld."

Langshi had suffered from old illnesses when he was conquering the West, and he had been holding back all the time, but now he really couldn't hold on for much longer. "I never thought that Huai'er would have such a temper. She doesn't understand yet, but I think, I'm afraid she has a deep-rooted affection for the girl long ago."

"Haha, then my girl is much better than your boy." Emperor Ming laughed heartily, and the two of them talked for a long time as if they were talking about each other.

In the end, Emperor Ming said: "Then this in-law, we will make a deal."

Lang Shixin cupped his hands: "My father-in-law, please prepare more dowry!"
