Mother attaches great importance to this dispatch, usually border generals or foreign officials go to work, and they should go out of the city on the same day, but this time they specially ordered Si Tianjian to set a good day and an auspicious day, and Li Dan and I sent Dugu Yuankang and Wu Chengji to send Wang Xiaojie to the outside of the city.

Unsurprisingly, this intention caused a little commotion, not because I was also in the procession of my mother to see me off—a matter of course that was extremely incompatible with the law of etiquette, but it was insignificant compared to Li Dan's sending the army on the march—but because it was the first time since his deposition that Li Dan had officially appeared as a prince and prince on non-New Year's Day, at the Great Gathering, and at weddings.

Li Dan's identity is very ambiguous. In public, his mother often called him "the heir of the emperor", not the crown prince, not the prince, but an ambiguous identity that could be leaned on either side; his mother gave him the title of the country, but the fief was not in the Zhou land according to the custom, but in the land under the jurisdiction of the gods; as a prince, he neither went out of the palace to open the palace, nor went out of the capital to become a vassal, but lived in the east palace where the crown prince could live, and after leaving the cabinet, the teacher he chose for him was also done according to the rules of the crown prince, but did not place the subordinates of the east palace, only the palace of the king of Zhou; he was crowned the king for a long time, except for the extremely important - It is also extremely useless - the occasion, almost never met with the ministers.

Now he finally came out, in the name of the prince, on behalf of the Son of Heaven's honor guard, to see off the army.

Needless to say, even the officers and men in the army were very encouraged, and when I looked out of the car window, I could clearly see the faces of the sergeants in the front row swollen with excitement - my mother gently and skillfully threw out a Li Dan, and quietly supported me, and tested the hearts of the people in the army.

In addition to Li Dan's send-off, the second conspicuous thing is that Dugu Shao led an army alone as a woman, this time the court did not oppose it because she was a woman - but the actual reason for opposition is precisely because of this - all the words only say that she is shallow and must be more experienced, but the mother is particularly tough, without going through Fengge Luantai, straightforwardly out of the palace out of the hemp paper to worship Yuankang's father and daughter as generals, and choose Yulin elite as the former army, under the name of Dugu Shao, given the name "Zhendong Army", Dugu Shao as "Zhendong General", Yinqing Guanglu Doctor.

Compared with the graceful appointment of Dugu Shao's hemp paper edict, Cui Mingde's appointment is much more obscure, her mother only gave her a seal letter, ordering her to "try to inspect the former military records of the school", and did not let her go with the army, but only gave a team of guards, to Hebei and then meet with the former army, and ordered to set off on the same day, I only had time to say a word to her. However, although Dugu Shao's appointment was eye-catching and sent by holy decree, I couldn't say a few more words to her, so I only toasted her father and her with Li Dan, said a few words of encouragement, and made an appointment to go to the wine shop outside the city to drink again.

Li Dan defended until the army was far away and the dust subsided before turning around, I saw that the servant was going to escort him back to the palace, so I hurriedly pushed the car door and called him to stop, jumped out of the car, refused the hat handed by the servant, took the reins, turned over on the horse, and reined with him: "San Lang is not in a hurry to go back, accompany me." ”

Li Dan looked at me in surprise, and looked at a few older servants around him, those people, you look at me, I look at you, silently retreated, and surrounded us with the servants, the front and back were a few feet apart, leaving the two of us in the middle, walking slowly.

I took a closer look at Li Dan, he had grown a little beard, and he looked more like his father, but his expression and posture were not as far as Li Sheng, Li Sheng in my memory was always graceful, even when he frowned, he also had a deep and calm source of being a king and a brother, and Li Dan could also bring out some stability when he was serious, but for some reason, it always reminded me of Li Rui when he first came out of the cabinet - green, frizzy, Immature, even if he is sad or angry, he doesn't look dignified, and I don't know if he is really too young, or if I am old.

Li Dan was embarrassed by me, his body moved, urged me to take half a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Sister has something to tell me?"

I didn't answer him, just looked at the fields in the distance, and said lightly: "The flowers are beautiful and willowy, all things compete for spring, such a beautiful scenery, isn't it worth stopping and watching with me?"

Li Dan smiled, wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, and held back, I squinted at him: "Do you want to say 'spring has passed'?"

Li Dan moved his body unnaturally, and said with a smile: "No, I want to say... Sister, you don't often make such a commotion. ”

I smiled: "The same person, the mood in the morning and evening may not be the same, how can there be anything that is not usual?" glanced at him: "Like you, you read well on weekdays, and I and the masters are all excellent, but when I get to A-Niang, I suddenly answer inappropriately and is not called the holy decree." ”

Li Dan's hands tightened, □□ Zhima naturally stopped, and after his urging, Fang slowly moved again, and smiled at me: "Sister, she really has great powers, I know this." ”

I heard something else from his words, raised my eyebrows to look at him, he lowered his head, his hands hung on the horse's back, and he was very relaxed: "There is nothing to hide from my sister." I did answer inappropriately that day, deliberately trying to dislike A-Niang. ”

He looked a little like his father at this time, I looked at him quietly, I didn't rush to ask, and he didn't rush to talk to me in detail, just looked down at the ground, and after a while, he straightened up and tilted his head to look at me: "Does my sister know King Song Shining?"

I gave him a blank look: "I don't know." "This name sounds familiar, and I must have heard the allusions, but I really don't remember much about these titles, except for the extremely famous ones—unless I know to tell people and memorize them in advance.

Li Dan smiled: "This person is the younger brother of Liu Ziye, the abolished emperor of the Song Dynasty - the number of the posthumous seal, which is really the same as the last word of the sister, so I changed the word, so the sister didn't think about it - because he was favored by his father, his brother was not angry, and he killed him after he ascended the throne, he was only ten years old when he died, and his last words said, 'May life and life not be reborn in the emperor's family'." ”

I heard this, raising his eyes and glancing at Li Dan, the little guy let out a long sigh on the horse, and said, "I don't blame myself for being born in the emperor's family, I just think... Compared with this King of Shining, or Emperor Han and Emperor Shao, it is really fortunate to be a prince and live a carefree life. As if he was afraid that I would tell the truth, he specially added: "It is also A-Niang's kindness and benevolence." ”

I looked at him suspiciously: "Who told you what? Or did someone teach you to do this? ”

Li Dan said: "It's not that someone taught me, and it's not that anyone just told me anything. Although I am not sensitive, I can vaguely remember the things of my childhood, and I have heard some things about the past recently... I am not A-Niang's son, but the son of the late King Yong, A-Niang's son, and now there is only Brother Luling... Isn't that right?"

I nodded silently, not surprised that he would know about this, but a little surprised that he would mention it at this time, pay attention to him, and see that there was no resentment on his face: "I haven't seen Brother I much, I don't know what his character is, but I have heard that although he is friendly, his temper is not very gentle, and sometimes he is easily agitated, and he is encouraged... After that, he hurriedly left Beijing, and he was very miserable, and he must have been miserable in the fiefdom, and he couldn't enjoy any wealth. ”

I said: "A-Niang created a palace for him, and sent people to inquire every year, but it was not very bad." ”

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

I didn't answer, walked quietly for a while, and listened to him again: "A-Niang is old, the heir is undecided, and the court is uneasy. Those who are expected to be in that position are none other than the King of Wei, the King of Luling, and me. If it is the king of Wei, then it is needless to say, I am afraid that I will not be able to get it for Liu Ziluan, if it is a brother... Although I can keep peace for a while, but I am not my own brother, but I have usurped the position of my own brother, and I have stayed in the capital for a long time, and I am more loved by my mother and ministers. ”

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

He smiled bitterly: "When I said, 'Hopefully in that position', I added myself to it, but in fact, I was just making up a number, I was not the son of the first emperor, and my father was the prince who was deposed by the first emperor himself. If A-Niang really has a heart, she will not be summoned again because a small test is not Chinese-style, and there is no news after that time, which shows that A-Niang's heart, my pretended little son, no matter how much pampering is limited. What's more, I have been in that position since I was a child, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, I am not free everywhere, it is better to be an idle clan and live a peaceful and leisurely life. ”

I was a little confused by him: "You said that the King of Wei and the King of Luling... After that, it will not be good for you, and it is not a contradiction to say that you want to live in peace?" "There is another place that I have not said explicitly, that is, with his knowledge, I would never have thought of such a deep place-not thinking that he is not smart, but his age is there, and these are too deep and tortuous behind it-This must have been induced by someone in secret, and others are in the deep palace, and they do not meet with the ministers, who can exert such influence on him? Could it be that in the palace, besides those in front of the palace, there are any high-ranking people hidden among the eunuchs and the palace?

Li Dan smiled: "It's not a contradiction. Without waiting for me to ask 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 of the border pass and reported that Lubu entered Beijing? The first emperor also specially named my sister 'Lin De'? My sister had ingenious ideas when she was young, and often made amazing witty remarks, and in recent years, she has frequently made strange moves, such as building military studies, military intelligence departments, and Fengtian Bureau, and holding auctions--and these are all immortal gifts from my sister's dreams? I heard those college students from Silla say that they had a queen there earlier, who inherited the throne as a princess and expanded the territory. Famous and famous, sister... Have you ever thought of following it?"
