A month later.

News came from the border pass, and the government and the opposition shook again.

Li Ping led 30,000 cavalry out of the pass and rushed to Loulan, but Loulan surrendered by fraud and joined forces with the Xiongnu, and 30,000 cavalry were slaughtered.

Even Li Pinggong himself became a prisoner.

When Emperor Wu heard the news, he was shocked and angry, and directly sent his favorite Mrs. Li into the cold palace and removed all the official positions of the Li family in Kyoto.

Li Guangli wrote a letter at the border pass, hoping to lead his troops to fight the Xiongnu again and save his son.

Emperor Wu was furious, and directly ordered someone to seize his military power, and let people arrest him back, ready to punish him heavily.

At this time, it was only one month before Wei Yan and the eldest princess got married.

The guests of the vassal states have already entered Beijing one after another, and the guests from the countries of the Western Regions are also on their way.

Emperor Wu had no choice but to order that the border guards would be guarded and that they should no longer take the initiative to attack.

suffered two defeats in a row, and even the generals were captured, this time the Great Yan Empire was a big shame.

The eldest princess Liu Yi entered Weiyang Palace again to meet Emperor Wu.

What exactly is being talked about, no one knows.

Two days later, a carriage, escorted by thousands of troops, left Kyoto and galloped in the direction of Yumen Pass.

Wei Yan has always been summoned into the palace by Emperor Wu to chat recently.

In addition to talking about the "Journey to the West" he wrote, he asked him about the white-haired old man he saw in the mountains when he was a child.

Every detail, Emperor Wu wanted to know.

Wei Yan made up nonsense according to the knowledge in his head, without any worries.

I can't find any of these things anyway.

If it is a fairy thing, how can mortals find it?

The people sent by Emperor Wu searched for several months on the mountain of Wei Yan's hometown, almost digging three feet into the ground, and did not find any white-haired old men.

However, I found many white-haired people who had no food to eat and fled into the mountains and forests.

At this time, peasant uprisings began to break out throughout the country.

Although the scale is not too large, Emperor Wu is in a very bad mood.

He seems to have finally realized his mistake.

The continuous recklessness of the army and the continuous conquest of war have made the people of the Great Yan miserable and starving, and the wealth and national strength accumulated during the Wenjing period have long been exhausted.

The Great Yan regime is facing collapse.

As urgent reports came from all over the country, looking at the peasant riots that broke out one after another and the people starving to death everywhere, Emperor Wu finally ordered to recuperate, reduce taxes and taxes, and no longer fight.

But the Huns were not going to give up.

In the face of Da Yan's concessions, the Xiongnu became even more unscrupulous and began to loot the borders and win over various countries in the Western Regions that were friendly with Da Yan.

Da Yan is now unable to protect himself, and he has been cut off by Loulan from the roads to the countries of the Western Regions, so he cannot send a large army to attack, so he can only send envoys to the countries of the Western Regions to pacify and lobby.

The wedding date of the eldest princess and Wei Yan will come soon.

Guests from the vassal states and the Western Regions gathered in Kyoto.

The whole of Kyoto is immersed in a bustling and festive atmosphere.

As for the desolation of other places, no one knows.

On the eve of the wedding, Wei Yan lived in the palace.

tried on the big red wedding robe when she got married tomorrow, and was taught all kinds of cumbersome rules by Liu Chan.

Painting, Liu Ai's brother and sister have all come to live in the palace.

The eldest princess's wedding is not an ordinary family marrying a daughter-in-law, and the next day she doesn't have to set off from her home to marry the bride, and she will do it directly in the palace.

The eldest princess belongs to the next marriage, and Wei Yan belongs to Gao Pan.

Early tomorrow morning, the eldest princess's people will come to pick them up and go to the palace where the eldest princess lives to hold a marriage.

In the past few days, Wei Yan has been busy.

In addition to the things you need to get married, you also have to learn various rules and get to know the various imperial relatives who come to Kyoto.

Invited to dinner every day.

Most of the royal relatives from various vassal states flattered him, naturally not because of his talented relationship, but because of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's current power, no one dares to underestimate it.

Looking at the warm and sincere smiles on the faces of the lords and princes of those vassal states, Wei Yan was actually very guilty in his heart.

When the Tui En Decree was implemented, I believe that these princes, kings and princes couldn't laugh one by one.

However, it seems that the Tui En Decree is still in the making, and it will not be implemented so quickly.

Now that various peasant riots have broken out in the country, and there are Xiongnu at the border passes, Emperor Wu is now in urgent need of help from various vassal states, so he naturally does not dare to forcibly issue a decree of tuien at this time.

After Liu Chan told the rules again when she got married tomorrow, it was already ugly in the middle of the night.

Wei Yan yawned.

Just as he was about to go back to the house to sleep, Liu Xie ran over again.

This pretty Lori looked not only not sad, but also very excited, and said triumphantly: "From tomorrow onwards, I will be the personal little maid of the horse master." ”

Wei Yan promised that Liu Yi had taken the two sisters by his side, so after he married the eldest princess tomorrow, the two sisters would also move into the eldest princess's mansion with him.

When the time comes to go to the fiefdom of the eldest princess, naturally I have to bring them with me.

Wei Yan knew that Emperor Wu's life was short, and at the last moment, he would definitely do many unexpected things.

It's like killing the prince's mother in order to establish the prince.

Therefore, after getting married, Wei Yan decided to follow the advice of the eldest princess and find a reason to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, so as not to become a ghost under the knife as soon as he got married.

Wei Yan yawned, and was about to drive Qiao Lori away when a familiar figure walked in.

Dressed in a white dress, slender and plain, it was Liu Zijun who had not been seen for a long time.

The moment he saw this girl, Wei Yan suddenly remembered an important thing and subconsciously looked behind her.

However, there was no one behind her.

The Lomé was not there.

"Master Wei, it's been a long time."

Liu Zijun looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "I really didn't expect that you would become the eldest princess's concubine." ”

The girl's body and spirit looked much better, but she still looked delicate and weak.

In terms of generation, the eldest princess is two generations older than her.

Wei Yan had already learned her identity from Liu Chan, smiled when she heard this, and said, "Miss Zijun, you shouldn't call me Wei Gongzi, you should call me uncle." ”

Liu Zijun was stunned for a moment, but he covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "The eldest princess is indeed two generations older than me, but she has always asked me to call her sister, if Wei Gongzi wants me to call you uncle, I don't have any opinion, I'm afraid that the eldest princess is unwilling." ”

"That's it, forget it."

Wei Yan stopped joking and asked very seriously, "What about the cold beauty who has been following you all along?" Why is it gone? ”

Liu Zijun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter, Wei Gongzi is eating in the bowl and still looking at the pot?" ”

Wei Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know, how can your guard sister follow ...... ...... with the eldest princess"

"Looks like the eldest princess, right?"

Liu Zijun asked.

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "It's not very similar, it's exactly the same, but the momentum and temperament are different, and it feels like a pair of twins." ”

Liu Chan on the side suddenly spoke: "Wei Yan, don't talk nonsense!" Miss Luo and the eldest princess are not related by any blood, Miss Luo is just a distant relative of the eldest princess's mother. The resemblance is just a coincidence. ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Distant relatives? It's a coincidence, it looks so similar. ”

However, there are still many such coincidences.

In Wei Yan's era, even if there were two people who were not related to each other, there were many people who looked very similar.

So after listening to Liu Chan's words, he was not too surprised.

"Okay, you're tired too, you have to get up early tomorrow, and then you have to go to kneel and worship, it is estimated that you won't be able to rest tomorrow, go to sleep."

Liu Chan also yawned and pushed him into the room.

After closing the door, Liu Chan and Liu Zijun glanced at each other, then pulled her away, and after walking to a place where no one was, Fang said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is very important, she won't suddenly regret it, right?" ”

Liu Zijun shook his head and said, "No, don't worry." For the sake of His Royal Highness, she can even give up her life, not to mention, she personally promised His Highness this matter. ”

Liu Chan sighed and said, "I hope tomorrow's marriage can be successfully completed, so many guests are watching." ”
