Chapter 67: Sisters Meet
Yuan Ji covered his face aggrievedly, "Father, the sons were afraid that the soldiers stationed in Jinyang would be annihilated by Liu Wuzhou, so they all took them back to Chang'an." Erchen did this in order to keep the strength of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"How dare you quibble?" Li Yuan went up and kicked again, and wanted to fight again but was hugged by Jiancheng.
Jiancheng said: "Father, Yuanji is still young, how can you stand it if you beat him again?" ”
Pei Lin also persuaded on the side: "Yes, the emperor." You dissipate your anger, if the King of Qi has a mistake, it is not Your Majesty who is distressed? ”
Li Yuanfeng's eyes were full of heartache, "Now that Liu Wuzhou occupies almost the entire Taiyuan, won't he hit Guanzhong in the next step?" ”
"I don't know what the hell is going on? Why did the Turks suddenly abandon our Tang Dynasty and fully support Liu Wuzhou? Built said puzzled.
Pei Lian's eyes rolled, "Your Majesty, this matter won't have anything to do with killing Liu Wenjing, right?" ”
"How can Liu Wenjing have such a big face?" Li Yuan said, "I'm thinking about how to send the people of the world out on the expedition now. ”
Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, it is better to summon the King of Qin to come while the King of Qi is catching the wind and washing the dust, the King of Qin has always recognized himself as invincible in the world, if he knows that the situation is like this, he may invite himself to kill Liu Wuzhou." ”
Li Yuan sighed, "Let's give it a try." He said angrily to Yuanji: "I have to give you the wind and dust!" ”
Motoyoshi shrank behind Jiancheng in fright.
Qin Wangfu, Yilan Palace.
Shimin looked at Zixuan and stopped talking.
Zixuan really couldn't stand it anymore, "What the hell is going on?" Let His Royal Highness King Qin, who has always acted decisively, be so embarrassed? ”
Shimin seems to have made a great determination, "Yuanji has come to Chang'an." ”
"So what?" Zixuan asked puzzled.
Shimin said: "My father wants to pick him up in the palace and wash the dust, I want to take you there." ”
Zixuan looked at him sideways, "Enter the palace?" Royal family banquet, wouldn't it be good for the princess to accompany you at this time. Why do you want me to go? ”
Shimin took a deep breath, "I have my own reason for letting you go. ”
"Okay." Zixuan believed him.
Shimin said again: "Zixuan, if I do something you didn't expect, please believe that it is my helpless choice." ”
"You're weird today, what's going on?" Zixuan was so unsure by what he said.
Shimin said: "You'll know when you go." ”
Zixuan followed the people and the innocent into the brightly lit Liangyi Hall of the Taiji Palace, and after bowing to Li Yuan, he sat down. I only heard Li Yuan, who was sitting on the throne, ask, "Hasn't Yuanji come yet?" ”
A eunuch had already replied: "Your Majesty." His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived at Zhu Mingmen. Soon it will come. ”
Li Yuan nodded, and Zi Xuan glanced at the completion of the building opposite, his eyes full of surprise. It seems that he didn't expect Shimin to bring Zixuan here. He glanced at Shimin, but Shimin was expressionless. There was anxiety and worry in the look on his face, what the hell was going on? Even if he shouldn't appear on this occasion as Zixuan, Jiancheng shouldn't have this expression. Zixuan felt that the two brothers were very strange today, as if they were afraid of something happening......
Zixuan was thinking. The eunuch's shrill voice sounded: "King Qi, Princess Qi have arrived!" ”
Zixuan saw Yuan Ji's ugly crooked face again, but there was a woman behind her, she was following Yuan Ji with her head down and saluting Li Yuan, she was Princess Qi. I haven't heard when King Qi married his wife!
I saw the woman's cherry-colored bandeau with a peach-colored skirt tied around her thin waist, and needle-embroidered butterflies dancing peach blossoms. The ink hair is light like a cloud, and the left side of the cloud bun is pressed with a half-curved carved lotus pattern white jade comb. On the right, a phoenix hairpin is obliquely picked. As soon as the woman raised her eyes, Zi Xuan was stunned, the peach-like pink skin, the sunken eye sockets, and the brown eyes were not Ziyi.
"Sister!" Zixuan didn't care about etiquette, left the seat, and ran to Ziyi.
Ziyi took her hands with red eyes, "Zixuan, I finally saw you!" ”
Zixuan looked at Ziyi in disbelief, oh my God! What the hell is going on? Isn't my sister with Li Shichang in Liyang? How did you become the princess of Qi?
Ziyi turned her head, looked at Li Shimin with expectant eyes, and called softly, "Shimin." The sound is like the rain in March, softening people's hearts.
Unexpectedly, Shimin stood up calmly and saluted, "Fourth brother and sister, you should call me second brother." ”
"What did you say?!" The two women spoke in unison. Ziyi's beautiful face instantly turned pale, her eyebrows were full of sadness, and her eyes flashed with surprise, grief and helplessness; Zi Xuan stared at Shimin with a pair of big eyes, wanting to get the incomprehensible answer from his mouth.
"Uh-huh!" Emperor Li Yuan gave a move, everyone cleaned up their moods, waited for the emperor to speak, and only heard Li Yuan say: "You two sisters may not have seen each other for a long time, and there is no one in the Wanchun Hall in the east at this time, you can go there to catch up with the old days." ”
"Yes." Zixuan replied respectfully, this is very good, she has a lot of things to ask her sister, so she pulled the stunned Ziyi and followed the eunuch to Wanchun Palace.
As soon as he entered the Wanchun Palace, Ziyi trembled and asked, "Zixuan, what do the people of the world call me?" Four siblings? He knows that Yuan Jiqiang married me......"
Zixuan covered her mouth, "Sister, calm down, wait a minute." ”
After speaking, Zixuan strode over and opened all the windows of the Wanchun Hall one by one.
Ziyi asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" ”
"To prevent someone from eavesdropping, this trick is still learned from "Dream of Red Mansions"." Zixuan clapped his hands, "Okay, it's all open now, and there won't be anyone outside." Tell me what's going on, I heard Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin say that you are with Li Shiyun, how did you become the princess of Qi? ”
Ziyi told all the experiences one by one, and sobbed low as she spoke, her voice miserable and mournful. Zixuan's heart seemed to be grabbed fiercely, crying and hugging Ziyi, "Sister, it's all my fault!" If I hadn't gone to Tang Zhaoling, we wouldn't have come to ancient times, and you wouldn't have encountered such a thing. It's all my bad ......."
Ziyi looked at Zixuan with teary eyes, "It's useless to say these things now, I look forward to coming to Chang'an every day in Jinyang, thinking that when I see you and the people, you will definitely save me out." However, did you hear it, just now Shimin called me my fourth brother and sister! He...... Does he know I'm in Jinyang? He doesn't want to save me? ”
Zixuan said: "He didn't mention half a word to me!" What the hell is going on? When you first lost, he sent a lot of people to look for you, if he knew that you were in Jinyang, how could he not save you? But when he saw you just now, he didn't seem to be surprised at all, so why did he do this? ”
"Zixuan, you'll help me, won't you?" Ziyi trembled and took Zixuan's hand, her helpless eyes were like Ling Chi's knife cutting on Zixuan's heart.
"Of course I will!" Zixuan held Ziyi's hand tightly, "You are my sister and my only relative here, I will definitely help you!" I have to ask Li Shimin what he is thinking first! ”
In the Liangyi Palace, fathers, sons, and brothers ate and talked during the banquet. When Li Yuan talked about the situation in Taiyuan, Shimin didn't talk much, first, because Shimin was worried about Zixuan, and the look in Zixuan's eyes just now should be complaining about him; Second, the people of the world are also angry in their hearts, Pei Lin lost the battle, Li Yuan did not cure Pei Lian's crime, but only symbolically locked up for a few days, his father is really not generally biased towards Pei Lian, this time there is no one to send to think of him, he does not take the initiative to ask for help.
Li Yuan didn't react after talking for a long time, so he didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Shimin, what do you think of the battle in Taiyuan, how are we going to fight Liu Wuzhou?" ”
Shimin said respectfully: "Erchen thinks that the most important thing in leading troops to fight is to have clear rewards and punishments. If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, so that the soldiers can be happy and convinced, and the battle can be invincible. ”
Li Yuan heard this, good boy, you are playing Tai Chi with me, you mean that I will deal with Pei Lin first, and then I can send you out!
Li Yuan's goal was not achieved, his face was extremely ugly, and the meal was tasteless and dispersed in a hurry......
Shimin went to look for Zixuan, and the eunuch said that she had already left first, so he hurried back to the house with Wuji.
Yuan Ji saw Ziyi and asked angrily: "Seeing that your eyes are swollen from crying, why are you so sad?" Shouldn't you be happy to see an old lover? ”
Ziyi smiled and took his arm, "Look at what you said." I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so it's like this, is it because of him? You didn't see me call 'Shimin', he didn't dare to respond, what a seed! I can't believe how I could have been blind to him before? ”
Ziyi's acting skills are now perfect, not to mention that Zixuan just told her that she had to stabilize Yuanji first no matter what, and waited for Zixuan to find a way to save her.
Shimin gently pushed open the door of the Yilan Palace, and by the cold moonlight, he saw Zixuan curled up on the couch.
"Zixuan, why don't you light the lamp?" Shimin took the fire fold and lit the lamp, and the room was filled with warm and soft light, but Zixuan's face was as cold as ice.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Zixuan stared at him, but a sharp light shot out of his eyes.
She still complained about him, what should come will always come, Shimin smiled bitterly: "Yes." ”
"Then why didn't you save her? And lied to me that she was in Liyang? Zixuan's tone began to be aggressive.
There was a trace of obscurity in Shimin's eyes, "Because I can't save her, and you can't save her." Letting you know can only make you sad. ”
"Am I not sad now? Can I never know? She's my sister, can I watch her suffer? The sadness spread to the corners of Zixuan's eyebrows and eyes, and she yelled at him hoarsely, "Li Shimin, how can you do this to her?" She's already your woman, why can't you save her? ”
Shimin held Zixuan's shoulders, his handsome face contorted with pain, "Zixuan! Yuan Ji designed to marry Ziyi by the time I knew it. For the sake of the face of the heavenly family, my father didn't want to publicize this matter, so he sent Yang Huaijun and Wei Jue to me in order to appease me. What else do you think I can do? ”
Zixuan pushed him away fiercely and roared at him: "Won't you tell the emperor that you love her and have to marry her?" (To be continued) R655
