[Red House] Lixian

At the beginning of this year, everyone was uncomfortable.

Xue Baochai was thinking about her future, so she asked Wei Qianen to come out of the palace to have a look.Baoyu and Daiyu played in harmony, and she was unwilling to be a meddling person.He didn't have the confidence to resist the pressure of the supreme kingship.

But going out to marry?

Xue Baochai didn't have that idea yet. Compared with Baoyu who respects women, so what if he is rich?The Xue family is not short of money, all she wants is a motivated husband.

Situ Yun tossed and turned, his brows furrowed even more when he received Jiangnan's situation every day.The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is very bad. The Tongyuan religion uses Jinling as its capital, and gradually establishes the foundation to establish the Jiangnan religion.Even a large group of capable people and strangers appeared in the Theocracy, and it was these capable people and strangers who called the wind and rain to stop them, which caused the imperial army to suffer repeatedly.

In addition, the barbarians in the north continued to make troubles, even if the Lifan Academy tried to delay the time, as the first month passed, the alliance with Jiangnan here made the court tired of dealing with it.

The better thing is that the Japanese pirates in Japan by the sea have been wiped out, and Qianxiang Kingdom has no plans to mobilize troops yet.

But Situ Yun couldn't stand this kind of suffocation, and all kinds of malpractices accumulated by the imperial court for a hundred years broke out one by one, the family interfered, corruption broke out, and even the Enke he prepared almost had problems.

Enke is very important this time, but even if it is such a big event, there are still people who are not open-minded and want to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After Wei Qian asked about the grades of the two students of the Plum Blossom Society and Jia Baoyu, she didn't care.

All three of them won the title of Jinshi, ranking second.

Seeing this, Wei Qian asked someone to arrange for two of his subordinates to enter the Imperial Academy, while Jia Baoyu began to prepare for his marriage with Lin Daiyu.

In the face of Enke's gossip outside, although Situ Yun has arrested many corrupt people, it is still difficult to calm people down. He urgently needs a big victory to divert his attention.

In March, Wei Qian and Yuan Chun prepared for this year's draft and other matters.

Wei Qian lay down on the table, sorting out what she needed to do in March.Needless to say the old-fashioned silkworm sacrifices, there are also ancestor worship in Taimiao and Houtu sacrifices in April.

Her schedule was full, so she had to ask Yuan Chun and Concubine Wen to help.Of course, because of what happened last year, she and Yuan Chun seem to be at odds with each other, and it's just a business relationship.Never set foot in Fengzao Palace again, just say hello in Ningshou Palace every day.

Situ Yun sat next to Wei Qian and saw her reviewing the things used to worship the ancestors this year: "I am planning to go to the imperial conquest?"

"Huh?" Wei Qian didn't pay attention, and continued to count the jade coins and ritual vessels, and put them in the box and locked them by herself after counting them one by one. "What did His Majesty say?"

"I want to personally conquer Jiangnan!" Situ Yun raised his voice.

Wei Qian was startled, and suddenly turned around: "Your Majesty!"

"The Son of Heaven cannot easily set out to conquer in person. Doesn't Your Majesty know this?" Wei Qian's face paled and she quickly dissuaded her: "You must not move this thought."

"I have made up my mind. I will leave in April. Arrangements will be made in these days. As for the harem, I will leave it to you and the queen mother." After hesitating, Situ Yun said again: "The prince is young, if there is something unbearable to say , take care of me."

"Where did Your Majesty get this idea?" Wei Qian hurriedly sat down to dissuade him, but Situ Yun didn't want to say anything, and turned to leave: "You should be busy."

busy?Why are you so busy?Wei Qian hurried to Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother had obviously just received the news, she was in utter confusion.

"Concubine Ning, you came just in time, tell me about the previous court, is it really so bad outside?"

"Shouldn't come to this point, there are natural dangers separating the north and the south, why does your majesty have this intention?" Wei Qian asked suspiciously: "I have been living for a long time but only asked about the affairs of the previous court. Does the empress know who is instigating it?"

"It's not that those Jiangnan officials are all motivated, and they want the emperor's royal conquest to stabilize people's hearts."

Wei Qian frowned, and when she mentioned officials from Jiangnan, she understood somewhat.

There is a very embarrassing situation in the imperial court, that is, many pillars of talent were born in the south of the Yangtze River.With Tongyuan Sect occupying the south of the Yangtze River, the family members of these people were restrained. Even if a few people escaped, the entire family property was lost. Can we not worry?

Jiangnan has always been the production area of ​​aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families exert pressure, even Situ Yun needs to show his attitude.Although Wei Qian's appeasement could calm down for a while a year ago, but after the next year, he started to toss again.In addition, Situ Yun got some extra information, so he came up with this idea.

Seeing the mention of Jiangnan officials, Wei Qian understood Situ Yun's thoughts.So he comforted the Queen Mother with kind words, and returned to the palace by himself.

At night, she casts astrology and observes the sky.

I saw Chen Gaozhao in the starry sky.This Gouchen star is Situ Yun's natal star, and he came out in response to the battle.

"Hooking up Chen Mingguang, approaching Nandou." Wei Qian looked at the secret, her crescent eyebrows frowned: "This battle is unstoppable."

Then, the Qianqian jade finger fluctuated, predicting the outcome.However, Wei Qian calculated the situation in the south of the Yangtze River several times, but it ended without a problem, and there was no sign of Situ Yun's victory.

"I still can't get home in my practice." After thinking about it, Wei Qian invited Ling Lan to come to Ling Lan the next day in the name of "asking".After Ling Wan's death, Ling Lan led the Lishan Sect to devote themselves to cultivating Taoism, preparing to avenge their senior sister.

Hearing Wei Qian's invitation, Ling Lan went to the Palace of Sanqing with others.

Wei Qian first asked a few questions about cultivating the Tao, and then turned away from the left and right to ask Situ Yun about the auspiciousness of Nanzheng.

Listening to Wei Qian's question, Ling Lan said: "According to my calculations, Your Majesty will need three personal conquests to defeat Tong Yuan Sect. This battle is not a battle with Tong Yuan Sect, but a battle for the future of China. If you win three battles, Situ The country can last for another 200 years. If it collapses after three wars, it will be divided into north and south, and there will be chaos for at least a hundred years."

"This is a sign of the heavens, although it is a murderous situation in the world. But the changes in the astrology involve the secrets of the heavens, and the world is in chaos. Not long ago, the monster Zhu Yan was born, showing the signs of chaos in the world.

The major caves of Xuanmen have already made their move, and Tongyuanjiao contacts the evil ways of the three mountains and five mountains, preparing to use the situation between the north and the south to compete for the dragon's veins, and set a catastrophe for the Xuanmen to kill. "

Not only is there a battle between human beings, there is also a big battle in immortality.

"Thousands of years of killing and calamity combined with the struggle of dynasties in the world, this time it is completely chaotic."

When Wei Qian heard this, her expression was serious.During this period of time, her mind was shaken, and she practiced with twice the result with half the effort. Could it be that she should respond to this matter?

"During the catastrophe, the evil spirit blinds the mind and it is difficult to practice. You must be careful in the palace."

"Moreover, this matter is very involved. Several earth immortals have already said that if you stay in the cave, you can still avoid disaster. If you step into the world of mortals to participate in this battle to seize the dragon, if you lose the army in the future, there will be backlash."

"So miserable?"

Ling Lan nodded: "Today, four of the Nine Great Caves have completely recalled their disciples, and they will never be reborn after being sealed off. The remaining five are determined to enter the world to eliminate demons. But the immortals are not allowed to participate in the battle, at least not in the first two personal conquests .”

Three royal conquests.Wei Qian thought more: "Situ Yun knows about this?"

"There are a lot of high-level people around him, and I'm afraid someone has already hinted. Otherwise, the emperor would not have the idea of ​​imperial conquest."

Only the Three Trials for the Son of Heaven can calm the south of the Yangtze River and stabilize the dragon veins.

"But the national treasury can't support three personal expeditions." Wei Qian's face was ugly. She thought of Situ Yun summoning the Minister of Rites and others in recent days, and vaguely understood Situ Yun's plan.

Exploiting territory is what every emperor loves.But if the interior is uneven, how can the exterior be settled?

"He's going to make peace with the barbarians in the north!" In an instant, Wei Qian thought of what his old partner was thinking.

The ten-year Zhennan War consumed the imperial court's savings for many years, and there was no way to maintain the two-sided battle. We could only use appeasement tactics for the frontier.

Seeing that Wei Qian's face was cloudy, Ling Lan continued: "Our Lishan faction will also participate in these three combat methods. Now I am practicing in the mountains with all the disciples, and I want to teach Tongyuan Sect a lesson and avenge my senior sister. !"

Ling Lan and Ling Wan are sisters who grew up together, even if they had disagreements, they are now in the same vein and have long since reconciled.Originally, Lan fantasized that the two of them would realize the Tao together in the future, and realize the fruit of the Immortal Dao.Now she is left alone, spreading all her hatred on Tong Yuanjiao.

"If this is the case, my nephew will also go to take revenge." Wei Qianfeng's eyes turned cold, thinking about the revenge of her teacher: "If your majesty personally conquers, when the dragon's energy will move, I can go out of the palace and walk outside. If necessary, I can borrow the money from the New Continent." Avatar."

"No." Ling Lan said: "The geographical location of the New World is important. If we are defeated in the future, we can use the New World to transfer the orthodoxy. Moreover, the New World is the foundation of your Taoism, so there is no room for loss."

Wei Qian was silent, only listening to Ling Lan smiled and said: "Don't worry, my Lishan faction is not as powerful as those Dongtian sects, but your uncle and I are also on the verge of breaking through. If we use Conglong's merit to successfully break through and light up Ziwei Star, the future Immortals are hopeful. You can definitely kill the old thief Wei of the Tongyuan Sect!"

The two counted again, and Ling Lan just left the palace.

Three days later, Wei Qian went to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects.Suddenly, she saw Princess Yihe rushing to Ningshou Palace one step ahead of her.

So Wei Qian stood outside the palace and listened.

Princess Yihe knelt in front of the Empress Dowager: "My daughter knows her own destiny, and she is willing to make peace with her to make the world safe. But my daughter has a worry, and I want to ask the Empress Dowager to settle it."

"But about your mother Concubine Liu?"

"The mother and concubine are taken care of by the Empress Dowager and Sister Wei, and my daughter is not worried." Princess Yihe said: "My daughter is worried that she will not be able to withstand the conquest of the Northern Hu barbarians, so she wants to take a few people with her."

Upon hearing this, the queen mother asked: "Then who do you want to bring?"

"I heard that the granddaughter of Mei University's scholar family is quite virtuous, and she can help her." Princess Yihe's eyes sparkled, she certainly knew who was the most advocated peace among the former court officials.Since the Mei family dared to cheat me like this, then I would take the Mei family along and cook it slowly!

"Yes." The Empress Dowager Chen didn't like the Mei family either, she nodded and promised to help Princess Yihe vent her anger: "Since you are willing, let the princess of the Yifu adopt her as a goddaughter, and marry you later in the name of the county lord."

"Thank you Queen Mother." Princess Yihe's eyes were red, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel pity when she saw it.After all, she is the only eldest princess in the palace, and only she has the qualifications to marry.

"The Ai family also told the emperor to see if they could send the prince's daughter to marry him. But at this time, no prince can believe it. Several princes with foreign surnames are not willing to use their own daughters. At that time, they will use a few adopted daughters to fool People, those savages refused to accept it, and instead made waves."

"Everything is hard for you."

"Food the people of the world to worship, and keep the people of the world safe and peaceful. As a princess, this should be the case." Seeing that there is no room for improvement in the matter, Princess Yihe resigned to her fate, and said calmly: "Since I have enjoyed the royal dignity for more than ten years, my daughter has an obligation to serve the world. Dedicate."

Wei Qian stood quietly at the gate of the palace without making a sound.She has a keen sense of hearing, and has heard every word and deed inside.

Emotionally, she doesn't want anyone to marry her, but from the current situation, she understands that if Situ Yun wants to be conquered personally, then the north must appease.And in the ten-year long war, if you want to really appease the north, you must show sincerity.A goddaughter is not enough.

Only the emperor's own sister, the current eldest princess, can bring ten years of peace.

When the barbarians stop, Qianxiang Kingdom will automatically restrain itself, and the Southern Expedition can proceed with peace of mind.

Wei Qian silently withdrew from Ningshou Palace and went to Longshouyuan alone.

On a high platform, Wei Qian saw Situ Yun standing with his hands behind his back.

Situ Yun looked a little lonely, feeling that Wei Qian was coming, and lowered his head: "Are you here to see the scenery too?" From the dragon head, you can overlook the entire Chang'an city, and this is a good place to relax.

Wei Qian stepped onto the high platform, and the two looked at the bustling Chang'an City.This is the capital of the world, the place of emperors.But what about places other than Chang'an?

Thinking of the war in the south of the Yangtze River and the instability of the northern frontier, Wei Qian couldn't help but lament.

"Concubine Ning, how did you feel when Emperor Wu married his relatives?"

"..." Thinking of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wang Zhaojun among the Four Beauties, Wei Qian was speechless.

In the end, Wei Qian comforted: "By enduring what you can't bear for a while, you will achieve great achievements in the end. Your Majesty has always yearned for eternal achievements, and his name will be left in the history books. Now that he has established martial arts with the Southern Expedition, he will be able to enjoy the name of Emperor Wu in the future."

"Emperor Wu?" Situ Yun laughed at himself: "I am now worse than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Anyway, he saved his own sister, and I will send my own sister to marry. I don't know how the history books will record it in the future?"

"The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River probably didn't happen during Emperor Wu's time, right?"

"The territories of the two dynasties are different, and the national conditions are different. They are not the same." Wei Qian smiled immediately: "Otherwise, how should the Wei family handle itself as a concubine?"
