After autumn, the weather gradually got colder, and Bai Zhi knew that Li Weiyang was cold by nature, so she hurriedly beckoned someone to raise a charcoal fire in the house.

At night, the light shines through the thin window paper on the carved window lattice, shining a faint shadow on the screen of the lacquered landscape, and contrasting with the charcoal fire dancing in the hollow smoked box, adding a pleasant warmth and tranquility to the whole room.

Li Weiyang pillowed the satin brocade soft pillow, squinted his eyes to look at the skylight outside the window, and said slowly: "Tuoba Yu is about to come back......

She is now extremely looking forward to Tuoba Yu's return, hoping that the Jiang family will like this great gift from her.

Recently, Li Xiaoran's status around the emperor has become higher and higher, and the ministers of the court and the central government are sensitive, when they found that Li Xiaoran was becoming more and more favored, especially this time after the emperor did not reward the Jiang family who rescued him, and even reprimanded him, he was more and more sure of this judgment, so more and more people secretly approached him in this line, and Li Xiaoran's strength was constantly increasing.

Li Xiaoran was grateful to Li Weiyang for this, he didn't expect that this daughter seemed to him to be completely disorderly, and it actually made the emperor alienate the Jiang family, three days ago, Jiang Li had already asked to return to Beijing Ding worry, and within a day, the emperor had issued an order and was allowed to play. Therefore, Jiang Li will hand over his military power and return to Beijing in the near future, so that the Jiang family will have only one Jiang Guogong to support the overall situation.

Bai Zhi saw that Li Weiyang didn't seem to be able to sleep, so she whispered, "Miss, are you still worried?" ”

Bai Zhi is the smartest and the most capable of learning among the girls, but she is a girl after all, and she doesn't understand many things. Li Weiyang smiled and said to himself: "I'm not worried, but looking forward to it." Now not only us, Jiang Hua has also begun to act, today's southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that it is not peaceful, but the more so, the more interesting. ”

Bai Zhi showed a puzzled look.

Li Weiyang said lightly: "For more than 100 years, the southern Xinjiang of the Great Calendar has been harassed by the Xuanyuan clan of Yinan Kingdom, they rely on the strength of people and horses, collude with rich merchants in some cities on the border of southern Xinjiang, and come to loot from time to time, but when the army presses the border, they are all gone, so this stubborn disease can never be completely eradicated." In the last ten years, Yinan has had a new ruler, who has begun to be busy building and developing the city, and the situation has been relatively stable. But when the emperor was about to change generals, southern Xinjiang began to be unpeaceful again, and it was not a small fight, it was a large army pressing the border, you say, is it because there is nothing to do in Yinan, or is there another reason? ”

Bai Zhi was taken aback: "What does Miss mean?" ”

Li Weiyang blinked his eyes and said softly: "I don't mean anything, I just think that the emperor sent Tuoba Yu over, not necessarily with the intention of testing Jiang Guogong, but if Tuoba Yu is not handled properly, it will be falsely accused of being a disaster that shakes the morale of the army, I believe that Jiang Hua must have made sufficient preparations and set a trap for Tuoba Yu to drill, but who will fall into the trap, it is still unknown......" Her voice became softer and softer, and finally seemed to fall asleep.

Bai Zhi glanced at Li Weiyang's quiet sleeping face, smiled softly, tucked the quilt for her, and quietly withdrew.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tuoba Yu really returned to the court, and as soon as he returned, he immediately entered the palace and put on a concert to impeach Jiang Guogong for "supporting the army and respecting himself, cowardly fighting and arsonist".

The crown prince was taken aback, he originally thought that after several Manchu dynasties, except for Jiang Guogong, there would be no suitable general who could dominate the overall situation in southern Xinjiang, so he came to a conclusion - before the war in southern Xinjiang was pacified, Jiang Guogong was safe, but he didn't expect that as soon as Tuoba Yu came back, he immediately took this song.

But the most shocked person was Jiang Hua, according to his arrangement, Tuoba Yu should not only die in southern Xinjiang, but also became a sinner of the Great Li Dynasty on the charge of rebellion, but he not only came back safely, but also was radiant and shocking.

The crown prince hurriedly took Jiang Xu, Jiang Hua and others into the palace, wanting to say good things for Jiang Guogong, but the emperor didn't wait for them to speak, and was already furious: "Take a good look at these pieces!" ”

Jiang Xu raised his head, but saw four little eunuchs coming in with a red copper-colored wooden box, which landed right under Jiang Xu's feet, making a muffled bang, which made people tremble involuntarily. When he opened it, it was full of music, Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Hua with a little trepidation, but the other party shook his head lightly at him, signaling him not to panic, and to settle down first.

The emperor casually picked up a piece of music and threw it on Jiang Xu's face, the music made a crisp sound, Jiang Xu quickly knelt on the ground, and the emperor said coldly: "General Zhou Wutian and Jiang Mingyuan delayed the military plane!" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Xu to speak, the emperor picked up another book and read: "Huo Xing, the squire of the military department, and Jiang Mingyuan intercepted military expenses!" Jiang Xu was shocked again, and the emperor didn't wait for him to calm down, and read seven or eight books one after another, all of which were about the impeachment of Jiang Mingyuan. A book with a hard shell hit the bodies of everyone in the Jiang family, every time it hurt, Jiang Xu trembled, and Jiang Hua was already full of suppressed resentment, he desperately leaned down, restrained the anger in his heart, and didn't dare to let the emperor see his true thoughts, even if the emperor read so much, the box was still full, it can be seen how many people were on the impeachment note!

But—why? Why is this happening! Among these people, there are even many of them who are the old members of the Jiang family, why would they bite the Jiang family in turn? How can it be? There could be such a strange thing in the world?! They didn't even hear about it beforehand!

The emperor said word for word: "Supporting the army and respecting itself, spending military funds extravagantly, bending the law for bribes, avoiding the enemy and cowardly war?" Is there still such a courtier in the world? Speaking of this, the Emperor's voice became extremely sharp.

The cold sweat on Jiang Hua's forehead couldn't be controlled anymore, he finally knew what Tuoba Yu was doing, the news from the secret agent was that he didn't go to inspect at all, he traveled all day long, and had a lot of fun, it turned out that he was deceived by Tuoba Yu's illusion, and he was simply going to buy people's hearts!

At this moment, Jiang Hua finally came back to his senses, Tuoba Yu had already set off in two ways, on the one hand, he took a large number of people and horses from Kyoto, on the other hand, he invited the dart bureau to escort a hundred boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to the south of Xinjiang secretly, Li Weiyang asked Tuoba Yu to arrange people to buy people's hearts, and those who were willing to defect would be given unimaginable wealth, and those who were unwilling or pretended to take refuge would be killed, regardless of whether he drowned or fell to death from his horse, as long as he refused to go to the recital, he would secretly get rid of them, just for fear that they would leak the news. Of course, in order to prevent the Jiang family from knowing, when selecting officials in advance, Li Weiyang relied on her memories and the news collected by Tuoba Yu from southern Xinjiang to screen Tuoba Yu one by one, which people are mercenary, those who are greedy for enjoyment, which people are die-hard factions, and which people must be eliminated - therefore, there is only one person who was really assassinated because he refused to take refuge, and it is because of this that the Jiang family was not alarmed. However, in fact, Li Weiyang was too worried, as soon as Jiang Hai died, Jiang Xu's rescue was criticized by the world, and the Jiang family was extremely depressed, and they couldn't take care of everything at all.

At this point, Li Weiyang was not merciful, she knew that this was the best opportunity, and it would be difficult to have it again if she missed it, but Tuoba Yu hesitated, but finally agreed, even if he didn't do it, it would be difficult for the Jiang family to let him escape back when he reached the southern border of Xinjiang. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have died there. Now, he stood on the main hall and said in a cold voice: "General Jiang, what else do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Xu was almost furious, no matter how good his cultivation was, he couldn't watch his father being suspected and blamed by the emperor, especially if it was a false accusation, it was clearly a premeditated plan!

Jiang Hua desperately grabbed his father's sleeve, and sighed in his heart: Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, you are so vicious! He lay on the bed for two months before he could get up, and now he finally understood why Li Weiyang deliberately provoked him at that time, because he was arrogant and could not accept failure, and it was easy to fall...... He whispered, "Father, don't be angry—"

Thanks to Jiang Hua's reminder on the side, Jiang Xu woke up from the confusion, he raised his head suddenly, tears were already flowing from his eyes, and begged desperately: "Your Majesty, the minister will never do these things, a qiē is purely a false accusation......"

"Then let him go back to Kyoto and explain!" The emperor said coldly.

When the prince heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately said: "Father, think about it, the current situation in southern Xinjiang must not be separated from Jiang Guogong!" In case Nayinan makes a move, won't there be no one to resist—"

The emperor still said in a cold voice: "You mean, without Jiang Mingyuan, my country will fall!" ”

The prince was taken aback, and immediately said: "Father, the son doesn't mean that!" Father Emperor Mingjian! ”

"If he is really loyal, why did Yinan harass for two months, and he didn't move? Let Yinan burn, kill and loot several cities in southern Xinjiang? What do I want him to eat! ”

Jiang Xu immediately said: "The courtier's father has already arranged that there will be a big war against Yinan in the near future-" Originally, Jiang Hua's plan was like this, sending people to secretly reach an agreement with Yinan and conniving at them to burn and loot for three months, and then Jiang Guogong would hold a big battle, and Yinan would make a comprehensive rout and flee, so that the emperor thought that every Qiē was the credit of Jiang Guogong. After all, only by making the emperor aware of the tragic consequences of the plunder, and seeing the countless deaths and injuries of his people, will he realize the importance of Jiang Guogong. Anyway, when the time comes, it will be said that Jiang Guogong needs time to prepare for war, and he will not be criticized too much.

Conniving at Yinan to massacre ordinary people, such a cruel practice, Jiang Hua can do it, he is no longer a loyal adviser to the country, he is now, he just can't wait to win.

"When is he going to act?! Then why didn't he let me know? The emperor said angrily, "Twice a month, he said nonsense!" There is not the slightest mention of his plans! ”

Jiang Xu hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen can use his net worth to guarantee his life, and the Jiang family has no two hearts." "As long as Jiang Guo fairly settles the war, then these impeachments will naturally be over.

Tuoba Yu said lightly: "Jiang Guogong's self-respect for the army has long been known to everyone, so much so that there is a folk proverb that 'the emperor of the north, the prince of Jiang in the south', in this world, does he want to share equally with his father!" ”

This sentence was handed over to him by Li Weiyang and told him to say it at the most critical moment, and sure enough, the emperor was furious and said: "Draft!" Immediately arrest Jiang Mingyuan and enter Beijing is to ask! Chin this. ”

"Father!" The crown prince hurriedly knelt on the ground and walked to the emperor: "Father, please give Jiang Guogong another chance!" Don't wronged loyalty! ”

The emperor said to the crown prince with a gloomy face: "Opportunity? He is already going to share the world with me, what chance will I give him! ”

Jiang Hua hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please let Rong Weichen say a few words!" "His official position is humble, if it weren't for the prince to send him in, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to face the king, and it is impossible for him to be qualified to speak in front of the emperor, but he can't take care of it much at the moment!" Of course, Jiang Guogong can go back to Beijing to explain, but this incident is not a trap in Yinan, and the temporary change of battle will be a taboo in the army! Please give the Jiang family another chance to let the minister's grandfather make meritorious contributions! ”

Tuoba Yu frowned, he was hesitating, what Li Weiyang asked him to say, he had already said half of it, and half of it, he was thinking about whether he really wanted to say it, she said at the time, if it was a critical moment, she only needed to remind the emperor that Jiang Mingyuan was Prince Tongxin's teacher back then. Of course, Prince Tongxin once had fourteen masters, not just Jiang Mingyuan, but for the angry emperor, it definitely reminded him that Jiang Mingyuan was dissatisfied with his seizure of the throne very early on-

But Tuoba Yu couldn't bear it, if he mentioned this matter, the emperor would be furious, and he would definitely carry out a new round of purges in the court, and pull out all the people who had helped Prince Tongxin to rectify it again, and then there would be a bloody storm, this kind of thing has happened four times in the years of the emperor's reign, and thousands of people will die each time, which is a very cruel and bloody ending. Even if the Jiang family didn't help Prince Tongxin at the beginning, the emperor would never believe it, but would be angry, or even murderous! Because in his eyes, Prince Tongxin is his reverse scale!

Among the families that once supported Prince Tongxin, there are even many of them who are Tuoba Yu's current arms, if so, if the emperor is angry with them, what should they do? Li Weiyang's intention was clearly to ask him to sacrifice those people in order to put Jiang Guogong to death...... When it came to the end, he realized that he didn't have that kind of determination at all.

The opportunity was fleeting, and at the moment when Tuoba Yu hesitated, Jiang Hua had already said more than a dozen reasons why Jiang Mingyuan should not be recalled, and even the prince kept kowtowing and interceding for Jiang Guogong.

The emperor paused for a moment, his eyes swept over Tuoba Yu's face, but seeing that he was still stunned, he couldn't help but say slowly: "Order the deputy general to take over Jiang Mingyuan's position for the time being, and let him return to Beijing to explain." ”

is not to be arrested, but to go back to Beijing to explain, the emperor's words, it is clearly the limit of concession, if you really want to arrest Jiang Mingyuan, I am afraid that there will be a riot in the army, and then the script will be played according to Li Weiyang's set, but now, I don't know how much better than the worst ending. It's just going back to Kyoto to be investigated, that's all-

Tuoba Yu was suddenly startled, realizing that the efforts he had made had been greatly reduced in an instant, his face turned slightly pale, but he didn't say anything, just retreated after the Jiang family left.

In the palace, Tuoba Yu came out of the main hall and first went to meet his mother, Concubine Zhang De.

Concubine Zhang Defei lives in Yiran Palace, located on the shore of Bibo Lake, quiet and quiet, with the most beautiful scenery. Since the last time she was frightened, Concubine Zhang Defei has been sick in bed, but after a summer, her body has begun to recover, and Tuoba Yu arrived in the courtyard, only to find that Concubine Zhang Defei was sitting under a tree and playing chess with herself, while the female officials stood aside and guarded.

Seeing Tuoba Yu, Concubine Zhang Defei smiled: "You're back?" ”

"Yes, please say hello to the concubine." Tuoba Yu saluted, and Concubine Zhang immediately helped him up.

Tuoba Yu glanced at the white chess pieces on the chessboard surrounded by a large number of black chess pieces, and said with a slight smile: "The mother concubine is really interested, if you want to play chess, why don't you find someone else to accompany you?" Concubine Zhang Defei smiled, glanced at her son meaningfully, and said leisurely: "Now everyone in the palace is going to Concubine Lian, and His Majesty has not come to the door for several months, let alone others?" ”

Tuoba Yu glanced at his mother, and a pair of eyes on Concubine De's rosy cheeks stared at him tightly, with a hint of temptation. He smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it from my mother." Concubine Zhang Defei sighed and said: "Zhou Dashou was sent to the palace by you, and you also sent an opponent to your mother, no matter what, as long as it is good for you, what is the favor of your mother?" After finishing speaking, he took a closer look at the chessboard and asked casually: "It is said that you don't want to marry the concubine, and you have rejected your uncle?" ”

"Not bad." Tuoba Yu's expression was indifferent, as if he had expected this question a long time ago.

"Why?" Concubine Zhang Defei turned her head to glance at him, and there seemed to be coldness in her eyes. Tuoba Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and finally came: "Now it is an eventful time in the DPRK and China, and the matter of establishing a concubine can be postponed for a few years." ”

Concubine Zhang frowned, "How many years?" How old are you, and you still don't have children! What kind of devil are you in?! Even now, what is the postponement! "Isn't it the same for the third brother—"

"He's different! He has no noble identity and no mother's support, he can't be high or low, can you be the same as him? Concubine Zhang Defei scolded.

Tuoba Zhen has actually engaged a family affair in the past two years, or the emperor personally gave the marriage, which is the concubine of the Duke of Yingguo, but this young lady has died before she has passed the door, Tuoba Zhen is "sad", but the marriage has dragged on for a year. Only Tuoba Yu understands best, if it weren't for the emperor's marriage, Tuoba really couldn't look down on him, this young lady Ying was originally in good health, but she suddenly got sick and died like this, which is really suspicious. But when he said this to Concubine Zhang Defei, it didn't work.

In the past two years, the ministers also advised him to establish a concubine as soon as possible, and he could refute their words, but on the other side was his biological mother, even if he was reluctant, he could only stand honestly and listen to the teachings. Of course, it's one thing to listen to it, and it's another thing to do it or not. He would never marry someone else! "Are you still thinking about that Li Weiyang?" Concubine Zhang Defei remained silent. A trace of blush flashed on Tuoba Yu's cold face, he coughed uncomfortably, and slowly spit out a thunderclap: "I have already said that if the mother concubine does not agree with me marrying her, I will not marry the concubine for life!" ”

This is not a declarative sentence but an affirmative sentence. Concubine Zhang Defei's indifferent face finally changed, and she said angrily: "Are you really fascinated by the fox spirit?!" ”

Tuoba Yu knelt on the ground and said seriously: "I have already said that she is not only worthy of my love, but also worthy of my respect, if it weren't for her, I would not have been able to get to this point today, let alone compete with the prince and Tuoba Zhen!" I will also need her in the future, please give me my permission! He had already told Concubine Zhang Defei countless times that Li Weiyang was not only a daughter of the boudoir, but also a powerful strategist, but Concubine Zhang Defei refused to listen to his explanation.

Concubine Zhang Defei stared into her son's eyes, saw that there was a hidden persistence without any intention of retreating, and sighed secretly: "You are still obsessed - I have already said that it doesn't matter who you love in your heart, it doesn't matter if you have a deep background or not, it's just a big deal to be a side concubine, but you have to make her a concubine......" She stared at Tuoba Yu's dark eyes sternly, and said word by word very slowly: "Okay, even if I admit that she is smart and she is helpful to you, but what about her reputation?" Whether she was wronged or fought back, she forced her eldest sister and grandmother to death, there are traces to follow! When you are in the deep palace, can't you hear what outsiders are talking about her? Yu'er, the mother concubine originally hoped that you would marry a concubine who could help you, but now it has changed, I only hope that you can marry a dignified, generous, and ordinary lady to be your concubine. Now that she Li Weiyang has her hands covered with blood, she is being talked about everywhere, if she really becomes your concubine in the future, do you want to guard her alone in this life? ”

No matter how he refutes it, Li Weiyang's powerful name is what everyone is talking about, Tuoba Yu pursed his lips tightly and remained silent without saying a word. Concubine Zhang Defei sighed, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "The concubine knows that you like her, but Li Weiyang can neither be your concubine nor become the queen of the calendar, do you understand?!" If you choose such a woman, you will endure countless discussions in the future, how will you fight for that position? You're right, she's a great strategist, but she can't be a virtuous wife! If you insist on marrying her, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die!" "That's an awl! In the end, it is already full of voice, every word.

Concubine Zhang Defei's forced questioning almost made Tuoba Yu breathless, "Mother! Tuoba Yu couldn't help but step forward on his knees, but he looked at Concubine Zhang Defei's slightly pale temples - it wasn't very obvious, but since that incident, Concubine Zhang seemed to have aged overnight. The argument that I wanted to exit suddenly slowed down—

Concubine Zhang Defei saw that her son was shaken, and added another hammer: "I said so much to let you understand that you not only inherit my hope, but also the lives of countless people, if you act willfully, you will only harm countless people who will suffer with you!" ”

Tuoba Yu was just silent, embarrassedly silent. Concubine Zhang Defei looked at him quietly for a while, and said slowly: "Li Weiyang is not young, you are right, she is a good girl, smart and good at making decisions, she should not die alone, you have two cousins who have not married yet, and it just so happens that she has reached the age of marriage, it is better to-"

The cousin Zhang Defei said was not referring to Zhang Feng, who was a childhood sweetheart with the Ninth Princess, but his two Zhilan Yushu's elder brothers, who were both the objects of competition for Kyoto ladies. In Concubine Zhang Defei's opinion, no matter who Li Weiyang marries, Tuoba Yu can't give up, but if he marries his cousin, it's completely different. No matter how much you like Tuoba Yu, you can't think about your cousin, it's just a big rebellion.

"Mother!" Tuoba Yu's heart was cold, and his heart seemed to have leaked a hole, and boundless bitterness came out, "Mother! She won't say yes! Concubine Zhang Defei sneered and said, "How do you know that she doesn't agree?" You're not her, how can you decide for her? What's more, are you really so sure she likes you? You know, she keeps saying she doesn't want to marry you! Tuoba Yu stiffened there for a moment, as if someone had dug up the most unwilling scar, Concubine Zhang obviously knew that he was arrogant, these words were like an invisible slap in the face, hot and painful. Yes, Li Weiyang never said that he liked him, let alone married him, and it was just his self-deceptive fantasy, so he couldn't refute a word. Concubine Zhang looked at him and said slowly: "You think about it carefully." Tuoba Yu didn't say anything more, so he had to turn around and leave. Concubine Zhang Defei turned around and said to the big tree on the side: "Come out, county lord." ”

Li Weiyang walked out from behind the tree, and Concubine Zhang looked at her with complicated eyes: "You heard it all." The reason why I called you over this time, I think the county lord is also very clear. Li Weiyang walked back to the chessboard: "It's very clear, it's very clear, it's clear." ”

Concubine Zhang Defei looked at her expectantly: "I hope you will persuade my son to let him accept Concubine Zheng as soon as possible and spread out as soon as possible." ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Dare to ask Niangniang, you let me persuade me?" What position do I have to persuade you? Because Does His Highness the Seventh like me? Don't you think, Niangniang, this is a ridiculous thing? ”

You can't manage your son yourself, but you want me to take care of it for you? And you're not asking, you're commanding, why? When she Li Weiyang is a soft persimmon? has the ability to bully a young girl here, why don't you fight with the queen and help your son win the throne as soon as possible. Just now, she had already heard what the two of them said clearly behind the tree, and she understood Concubine Zhang Defei's intentions even more, but what was she doing here? Tuoba Yu refuses to marry the concubine, or he likes her or something, and he doesn't have anything to do with her, why should she be responsible for his choice? It's a ridiculous joke.

In the final analysis, they are a cooperative relationship, but Concubine Zhang asked her with an attitude that she should be responsible for Tuoba Yu, is this woman's head broken?

Li Weiyang is a complete egoist, a selfish ghost who is extremely cold, what is not good for her, why should she do it? It's a pity that Concubine Zhang Defei thought that she was dragging her son from beginning to end, and she didn't expect that she had no interest in that great Seventh Highness at all.

"Niangniang, I have already made it clear to His Highness the Seventh Highness what he should say, but what he wants to do, I can't stop it at all."

"Then marry Zhang Bo of the Luo Guo Mansion, he is already a waiter in the Ministry of Rites at a young age, and he is a first-class excellent, how many girls want to marry him!"

"Niangniang, I haven't even asked about my marriage, why are you dictating to me?" Li Weiyang could have had a better attitude, and could even coax Concubine Zhang De, but she has endured this woman for a long time, since she entered the palace today, this woman began to aggressively ask her to marry into the Luo Guo Mansion, and even did not hesitate to threaten Tan and Li Minzhi, this Concubine De is really too comfortable to live, and she can't wait to find a little trouble for each other! Li Weiyang thinks that some people just have to inch in, but she doesn't know that you let her, but she comes to provoke three or four times, in this case, she doesn't have to be polite at all!

Concubine Zhang Defei looked at her in surprise, and her face became even more ugly: "You dare to talk to me like this?!" ”

"Niangniang, your grade is the second grade, and my grade is also the second grade, on the rules of the calendar, I don't need to salute you, but I still salute respectfully, this is because I respect you as an elder, but this does not mean that you can fiddle with my life at will! If you really want me to marry into the Luo Guo Mansion, then go and tell His Majesty to see if he will agree! Li Weiyang said coldly.

Of course, Concubine Zhang Defei has said it, and she has said it more than once, but every time she is disturbed by that new favorite Concubine Lian! Hearing Li Weiyang say this at this moment, Concubine Zhang Defei's eyes were red with hatred, and she was almost speechless when she pointed at Li Weiyang.

"Niangniang, I helped your son approach the chair step by step, this is not out of obligation, you have provoked me, what good will it do you? If I get really angry and turn around to help the prince, what should Tuoba Yu do? I advise you, when you have time, it's better to drink tea, enjoy flowers, raise birds, don't mix things that shouldn't be mixed up, don't worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of, otherwise-" Li Weiyang's eyes were cold, and he didn't have the slightest respect for Concubine Zhang De, obviously impatient to the extreme.

Concubine Zhang Defei's eyes have widened to the point of no return, she has been pampered all her life, and no one has ever dared to talk to her like this, and Li Weiyang also warned her that she might help others? How is this possible?! She thought that although Li Weiyang refused in his mouth, he still loved Tuoba Yu with all his heart in his heart, otherwise why would she help him? The crux of the matter is just that I don't agree with her being this concubine, which hurts the other party's self-esteem. Originally, Concubine De felt that as long as she coerced and enticed, Li Weiyang was wronged, and she would still marry into the Luoguo Mansion for the sake of Tuoba Yu, and the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, and her wisdom and strategy could still be used by her own side. But now, her strong and bad attitude made Concubine Zhang suddenly realize that she had mistaken this little girl for a long time!

She was forced into a corner by Li Weiyang step by step, and sat on the stone bench with her buttocks, unable to speak, just trembling with anger.

"Niangniang, I've been in the palace for so long, it's time to leave." Li Weiyang tidied up the skirt on his body slightly, and patted off the dust that was not there in the first place, "It's windy outside, take care of yourself." ”

Li Weiyang came out of Concubine De's palace, but saw Tuoba Yu waiting for her at the door, and her face was very bad.

"Did you hear everything?" Tuoba Jade stared at her.

Compared with his faint excitement, Li Weiyang is still calm and terrifying.

"I said that you are the only concubine." Tuoba Yu is a word-by-word way.

Li Weiyang suddenly laughed, she only said one sentence, which made Tuoba Yu instantly feel like she had been poured a basin of cold water on her head, and she was immediately speechless.

She stared into his eyes and said indifferently, "What about the side concubine?" ”

When Tuoba Yu heard this, he sighed and immediately understood what the other party meant. However, it is impossible for him to marry only one concubine, which has never happened in the hundred years since the founding of the Great Calendar Dynasty. His identity and status have long determined that there can't be only one woman by his side.

Li Weiyang smiled, knowing his answer, and said slowly: "Your Highness the Seventh, I hope that we will cooperate closely with each other as usual as if nothing had happened, do you understand?" ”

Tuoba Yu looked at her cold eyes, almost unable to say a word, speaking of which, Li Weiyang is the most sober one, since there is no guarantee to do it, it is better not to do it from the beginning. Compared to her, she is simply stupid.

In the past few months, too many things have happened, and he is too busy with the open and secret battles between the prince and Tuoba Zhen, the crises in southern Xinjiang, and a lot of things, and he is unable to be distracted by other things, and at the same time, he enjoys Li Weiyang's strong support and help behind him with peace of mind. Her thoughtfulness and tight arrangement were so indulgent that he almost thought that Li Weiyang loved him as much as he loved her. But I thought that after all, I was just self-righteous. In fact, he knew in his heart that she had no feelings for him, just cooperation, he smiled bitterly, so he faced his mother's aggressive question just now, and now in the face of her categorical refusal, he couldn't refute it.

He really, should think about what he should do.

"Did you do what I said in the main hall just now?" This is what Li Weiyang cares about the most!

Tuoba Yu's face sank slightly: "Father ordered Jiang Guogong to go to Beijing to explain a qiē." ”

Li Weiyang's smile slowly fell: "You didn't do what I said?!" "She gave him so many chances, and every time he made a decision that disappointed her! It seems that she really can't have high hopes for Tuoba Yu anymore, this person lacks the kind of ruthlessness that an emperor needs to have in his bones, and what is infuriating is that that ruthlessness is what Tuoba Zhen has! Li Weiyang felt that it was necessary for him to visit Concubine Rou......

Tuoba Yugang wanted to explain the real reason to her, but was suddenly disturbed.

"I've seen the Seventh Highness." Suddenly, the shrill voice of a eunuch interrupted his contemplation, and it was a servant passing by the palace gate to salute Tuoba Yu, who woke up from his contemplation and nodded.

Li Weiyang glanced at him, didn't say anything more, saluted, and turned to leave.

Tuoba Yu was completely stunned, all the time, Li Weiyang looked at him with an expectant and encouraging look, but just now, her eyes were clearly disappointed and cold, as if she was looking at a useless waste. Did he let her down? Because he was too soft-hearted and indulged the enemy, didn't he?!

Tuoba Yu's body was faintly invaded by a cold that had never been before. Is he going to be completely abandoned by her?! No, this is absolutely not! The Three Princes' Mansion

In the spacious study, Tuoba Zhen's desk was full of pictures of beautiful women, Tuoba Zhen sat on a chair, and only a candle flame was burning in the room, illuminating his deep side face flickering. His gaze didn't fall on those beauties, but he just closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

The spy reported: "Today, Concubine De Niangniang recruited the county lord of Anping to talk, and at the gate of the palace, the county lord met the seven princes. "What did you say?" Tuoba Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.

The spy broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "This ...... Didn't hear clearly. ”

"Humph! Useless stuff! Tuoba Zhen lowered his eyes and scolded coldly.

The spy prostrate on the ground, peeked at the gloomy master, and asked tentatively: "Do you want the slave to go to the Seven Princes' Mansion to explore?" "There's also a dark stake there.

“…… Not necessarily. Takubajin closed his eyes wearily and waved his hand to signal him to go down.

The spy didn't dare to take a breath, and hurriedly and respectfully retreated. Tuoba Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes were fixed on the beauty picture on the table, these women were all daughters of famous families in various families, and the ministers had already made a selection for him, and no matter what his appearance was, they were very useful to him. Marrying any of them will greatly increase his strength.

If it was in the past, he would have chosen the most powerful one and married her without hesitation—even if she was an ugly bastard! He only needs to use the power in his hands to ascend the throne as the emperor and rule the world! But now, looking at these unfamiliar faces, the more he looked at them, the more upset he became, and suddenly with a wave of his big sleeves, all the "brushes" were swept to the ground, and the scrolls were all scattered, and all of them were covered with dust at once.

Originally, under all the scrolls, there was a portrait he had drawn himself, which was finally revealed at this moment, and he was stunned, but found that the woman he had inadvertently sketched was extremely similar to Li Weiyang, the lord of Anping County. He looked at the smiling beauty on the painting, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the light ink lines on the rice paper, thoughtfully.

Just then, a muffled thunderbolt interrupted his thoughts. It was about to rain, and Tuoba Zhen walked to the window, and his dark eyes saw the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the silence was as cold as the calm before a storm.

Returning to the table, he had already made up his mind, lifted the scroll, suddenly tore it in half, and then sneered: "Li Weiyang, do you want to marry Tuoba Yu?" It's not that easy! What I can't get, I won't let anyone get! ”

Li Mansion, the autumn wind rose, the house seemed a little deserted, Li Weiyang could even hear the whistling wind outside the house and the thunder above the clouds. The candle flame on the candlestick swayed slightly, casting her slender shadow onto the plain white wall for a long time, making people feel indescribably cold.

Li Weiyang put down the book in his hand, looked at his shadow in a daze, and Bai Zhi said, "Miss, do you want to rest?" ”

Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet." ”

At this moment, Li Minde happened to climb in through the window - this action was obviously done for a long time, and he was very familiar with climbing walls and windows. Li Weiyang blinked his eyes and said, "My body just started to make trouble, if I get sick again, I won't care about you!" ”

Li Minde smiled slightly and said, "How can you get sick?" My body is completely healed. ”

It's no wonder that people who die in pain every night and come to life in the morning don't know who it is! Li Weiyang glanced at him: "What are you doing here again?" ”

"I went to buy a snack from Jasmine Pavilion, let's eat it together!" He said with a grin, carrying a food box in his hand, which was still steaming hot, apparently just bought. The corners of Li Weiyang's mouth tugged for a moment, but he calmed down again: "I still ran out of the door on such a cold day-" Halfway through his words, he had already opened the box casually, took a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth.

Well, the chef of Jasmine Court is indeed more delicate than her small kitchen, and there is no way to refuse. Then, Li Minde walked around behind her and put on a perfect gentle smile as if nothing had happened: "What are you reading?" ”

"It's not so much a book—" Li Weiyang covered the cover.

"Is it Jiang Hua's writings?" Li Minde was slightly surprised. Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, although he is despicable, but he writes well, do you want to read it?" ”

Li Minde showed a disgusted expression, and Li Weiyang smiled: "If you're not interested, forget it." ”

Li Minde smiled and said: "Looking at his military book, it is better to go to his bottom line." As he spoke, he took out a list from his sleeve and said, "This is everything he has done in the army in ten years, and everything is recorded, perhaps more useful than a military book." ”

It is much more useful to observe the people and observe their deeds than the so-called writings. Li Weiyang's eyes showed surprise slightly, and he took it and said, "How did you get it?" ”

Li Minde sighed and said, "Of course, it took a lot of effort, but it's good to be useful." ”

Li Weiyang looked at him, but smiled: "It's okay to be good." Flipping through the booklet in his hand, a smile flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "Of course, it is even more difficult to secretly find someone to stare at Tuoba Yu." ”

She obviously knew that she had sent someone to stare at the Seventh Prince, and in the candlelight, Li Minde's pale amber pupils were exceptionally clear and clear, he bent his eyes, and his smile was bright and kind: "He has a cold face, but it's so useless, you really don't think about it, change your choice?" ”
