Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

Plum blossoms are in full bloom in early winter.

Gao Yang suddenly remembered that winter, the grove of plum blossoms in Tai's mansion.Zitai was expelled from Beijing. Although he was changed repeatedly, Emperor Taizong made him King Pu before his death, but he never set foot in Chang'an again. He was no longer the talented prince who favored all the kings in Chang'an city.Chengqian, who had been fighting with him for half his life, was long gone, and died of depression in the 17th year of Zhenguan.

The people of the past have changed beyond recognition.

Gao Yang placed a case under Yishu Xinmei, and ordered people to cook sake for a drink.She drank a few cups by herself, and said: "If there is snow, it will be fine." Zhu Jun was serving at the side, Wu Meiniang had been gone for half a month, His Highness seemed to be the same, as if Wu Meiniang had never been here before, just do what should be done, He is very calm and composed, but it is so, Mr. Zhu is even more worried.She heard Gao Yang's words, and hurriedly said: "It must be colder to have snow, and then His Highness can enjoy the snow in the pavilion."

Gao Yang nodded, the glass of wine was exhausted, there were petals floating on the tree, plum blossoms were dotted on the table, and one piece fell into the glass, Gao Yang took a look, and didn't pour any more wine.

Mr. Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a low voice: "Wu..., Your Highness, aren't you sad?"

"I'm sad..." Gao Yang stood up, plum blossoms fell all over her shoulders, especially conspicuous on the snow-white fox fur cloak, she started slowly, her wide sleeves fluttered, and she was still unrestrainedly romantic, her expression was gloomy, with With a layer of sadness that can't go away, she said: "What should I do to be sad? Do you wash your face with tears all day long? It's just to make yourself look more embarrassed."

Mr. Zhu was silent, the ministers outside were admonishing the emperor to send Wu Meiniang to Ganye Temple every day, and some people even criticized what His Highness said that day to serve the concubine's mother with ulterior motives.

Mr. Zhu was very upset, Gao Yang patted her on the shoulder and said: "I know what's going on outside, and because I know, there shouldn't be the slightest difference. The queen has seen through my affair with her, and since she has gone, I can only follow her will and try my best to get rid of it." Put aside the relationship with her, put aside that they were in love once, and pretend that nothing happened.The less she cared, the less the queen's so-called threat to A Wu, presumably she could handle it with her decisive mind.The pain in his heart was caught off guard, but it was always there, Gao Yang frowned, then slowly stretched it out, and stretched out his hand to support the old and vigorous trunk of the plum blossom.

Mr. Zhu hurriedly supported her, his face was full of dissatisfaction, the matter has come to this point, but His Highness is still thinking about her everywhere, has she ever thought about what will happen to His Highness after she leaves?Mr. Zhu couldn't help but said: "Since he's gone, it's irrelevant. Why should His Highness be so wronged?"

"There is no more love between me and her. Even if she has to get away one day, it will be difficult to reunite. What I do and what I do in the future is just out of the righteousness of acquaintance. As for the grievance, it is just the beginning. .” Gao Yang said lightly.

From the moment A Wu stepped out of here, they have no future, whether it is ten years or 20 years, it is broken, A Wu insists on leaving, she wants to use her ten years of suffering in exchange for her life of happiness, but Have you ever asked her if she would like to?As far as she is concerned, she would rather stay together and die together than suffer the torment in her heart that she can never let go of like now.I regret it all the time, because she is incompetent and can't protect her.

"Seventeen Niang!" Jin Yang ran over from the outside, his face was flushed with heat, his eyes were red, and there was a group of panting servants behind him.

Gao Yang waved his hands at the servants, and they all retreated. Jin Yang ran up to Gao Yang, looked at her face carefully, and said, "I just heard, you..." She was in Lishan at that time, and there was no communication. , as soon as I found out, I couldn't believe it at all, and rushed back immediately.

Gao Yang looked behind her: "Where is Twenty Niang?"

Jin Yang was taken aback: "She went back to the palace first." Xincheng was also concerned, she was concerned that His Majesty became a foolish emperor, and she had seen Wu Shi before, never would have thought that she was such a person, and she was even more angry at being deceived and ridiculed , "Probably went to find Jiulang." Xincheng didn't talk much, but he seldom showed mercy. This was why Jinyang always felt that she was too stubborn and merciless in the past.

Gao Yang raised his forehead: "You don't need to worry about this matter."

Jin Yang stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Do you know what's going on outside? With you..." She really felt that Gao Yang had been wronged.

Gao Yang doesn't want her to get involved, without him, Jin Yang treats her a little differently, just because of this, she also doesn't want her to get involved, and won't reveal the slightest thought of A Wu to her like she poured out to Mr. Zhu, Not to mention a word of dissatisfaction and resentment towards A Wu to her.

"The censor joins me, and I will defend myself at that time. Don't worry, I won't suffer."

Having suffered a great loss, Jin Yang stretched out his arms to hug Gao Yang: "You won't fight alone." She had basically guessed Gao Yang's thoughts by now, and it is best to get rid of the current situation.

She let go of Gao Yang, and said: "When I was young, you always protected me, now I can contribute, and I won't back down." She left after finishing speaking.

Enter the palace and go directly to the emperor.The emperor had already been scolded by Xincheng. Xincheng's words were brief, but his words were clear, and he directly said that he was lustful and immoral. Now that Jinyang is here, he is scolded for being disrespectful.

The emperor said: "If you say I am a woman, I admit it. Who doesn't admire Ai? If you say I don't care about siblings, where do you start!"

Jin Yang said angrily: "What did Shi Qi Niang say? You brought people in with an edict, but have you ever thought about Shi Qi Niang's situation?"

The emperor was speechless.

Jin Yang said: "Things will be smooth when things are slow, what are you in a hurry for?"

The emperor blushed: "Just let them talk about it, I will protect her."

"Protect yourself first." Jin Yang left angrily, and soon there were rumors in the palace that Princess Gao Yang was so angry with the ignorant emperor, she didn't go out for half a month, and said that the Wu family was the emperor's favorite when he came to the princess mansion Yes, His Highness Gao Yang didn't allow it that day, and drove the emperor away. Who would have thought that the emperor would issue an edict without asking Gao Yang that night, and put her in an unrighteous manner.Therefore, His Highness Gao Yang was angry and never defended himself.

Rumors started from the palace and spread outside the palace, most of Gao Yang's image was restored, and the censors were too embarrassed to impeach the victim, so they could only point their pens at the emperor.The emperor was miserable, and now he also felt that he was not kind, so he was very sorry for Gao Yang, and he was embarrassed to ask her for advice.

As soon as Gao Yang heard it, he knew that Jin Yang was helping her, so he packed up his clothes and went to Lishan without saying anything.It is comfortable and interesting to go to Tangquan when it is colder.

Gao Yang had lived there for three months, when he woke up one day, the branches outside the window were covered with snow.

It’s snowing, there is a plum garden in Lishan Mountain, Yingxue’s plum blossoms are particularly proud of the cold, she is wearing white fur, walking in it, snow falls from the trees from time to time, scattered on the ground, in front of it are flowers like jasper calyx like emerald green calyx Mei, Gao Yang looked from afar, as if he saw someone standing there with a smile, eyes like autumn water, color like spring flowers, hibiscus like face and willow like eyebrows.That figure in memory was so touching and fascinating.

She also doesn't want to think of her all the time, but her heart can't help her at all, the sweetness of the past has become irony, she doesn't blame Ah Wu, she goes for her, but she blames herself for being helpless, and she can't forgive Ah Wu for going his own way.

The knot between them will never be untied.

As Zhengdan approached, Li Junxian finally arrived in Beijing. After the letter of appointment was issued, he stayed for an extra month to wait for the successor prefect before handing over. He has been busy until now before returning to Chang'an.

As soon as Li Junxian entered the capital, he entered the palace first to meet with His Majesty. After seeing His Majesty, he went straight to the Princess Mansion without even entering the house.In order to spare time to meet him, Gao Yang also came back to Beijing and received him in the main hall.

Li Junxian bowed as soon as he entered the door, and his words were sincere: "Without Your Highness, I would not be here today. I am loyal to Your Highness, and I will never hesitate to die."

Gao Yang smiled and asked someone to help him up, saying: "Your loyalty is learned from the imperial court. Sit down, don't be restrained."

Li Junxian lifted up his clothes and sat down, listening to Gao Yang's instructions. Gao Yang said: "Princess's political and military department, first seek stability. Your Majesty has been on the throne for nearly two years, and there are many places that cannot be approached. Gain is obstructed by his uncle. I just listen to Your Majesty and stand firm." Stable, and then map the Yulin." Now that Changsun Wuji is in control, she can't get a hand in many places.

"Yu Lin?" Li Junxian was very puzzled, the relationship here is very important, except for those who want to force the palace, who would do anything in Yu Lin?He was terrified, Gao Yang laughed and said: "My idea is wrong, the loyal and noble children of the imperial forest, and their friendship is a good relationship, if they leave the imperial forest or take charge of the government, or occupy important positions in Beijing, there is no benefit at all. Harmful."

This set of rhetoric seems to be reasonable, but there are loopholes, His Highness and Xungui's children are already close, so why go through the imperial forest again?His Highness has already run a circle, which is full of dignitaries. Although there are honorable sons in the imperial forest, but they are young, good and bad, and there is no big deal. Why should His Highness spend such effort.Li Junxian always felt that His Highness had plans, but he couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.You don't really want to force the palace, do you?She didn't see His Highness interacting with the kings on weekdays, so she had no reason to force the palace.

After thinking about it, Li Junxian can only say that His Highness has other plans, so he agreed: "I have old friends, and most of them live in prominent positions. The matter of imperial forest needs to be done in secret. Be careful. It takes at least five years to talk about it." Infiltrate half of them." He was originally guarding the palace gate, and there were many acquaintances in the imperial forest.

"It's okay, you can make your own decision." Gao Yang is not in a hurry, nothing can be done overnight, and now she only wants stability, not only for Li Junxian, but also for other places.

Hearing this, Li Junxian felt that His Highness had a plan, and it was not in the near future.Thinking about it again, judging from my usual experience and my own feelings, His Highness is not an ignorant and active person.The trust between people needs to be cultivated. Gao Yang's actions in the past were all prudent. Li Junxian believed in her. In addition, the scholar died for his confidant. His whole family was saved by others, so he should repay.

"Follow His Highness's order."

After talking about this, Gao Yang told him about his sons and grandchildren. If they want to be officials, from literature to martial arts, there must be a charter. The second son and the third son also have positions, but it doesn't matter much. Li Junxian has been away from the center for a long time, and he can't find any good positions for a while.

Gao Yang asked him about each son's temperament and strengths, after thinking about it, he came up with a number, and re-recommended them to a more suitable place before the government office sealed it.
