The rain continued for several days, and the sky was gray and misty, just like the mood of a person.

The Jiaofang Hall was quiet and peaceful, Liu Jue leaned on Wei Zifu, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "Mother, what kind of Gu poison is he in, it is so powerful, it has not been dissolved for several years?" ”

Wei Zifu gently stroked his daughter, and said slowly with tears in his eyes: "This Gu is called Golden Silkworm Gu, it is the most powerful Gu poison in the Western Regions, and those who are in the Gu have to bear the pain of eating bones and hearts, and those who are not under the Gu cannot solve it. And the person who gave the Gu to the sick was the wizard of the Hun Hugh Tu Wang, who was killed by the sick when the Hugh Tu King mutinied, so there was no solution to the Gu. ”

"That's... Over the years, hasn't my cousin suffered the pain of bone erosion every day? Liu Jue couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about it.

Wei Zifu nodded slowly and said, "Over the years, this child has never shown any discomfort in front of people, even if your aunt finds out that something is wrong, she will endure it. Every time your aunt said this, she burst into tears and blamed herself for not fulfilling her mother's responsibilities. In fact, how can you blame your aunt for this, because this child is too strong to be sick, and she doesn't want to leave half a point weak in front of others..."

Liu Jue hung his head and was silent, tears condensed into beads, Wei Zifu hugged her distressedly, and said kindly: "Jue'er, let the past pass, you gave it to Yu Jue who was sick, he took it away, and he always lived up to your affection." In the future, you still have a long way to go, you have to learn to let go of the past and be with Xiang'er well, he is the person who will accompany you for a lifetime! ”

"Mmmmmm..." Liu Jue nodded tearfully and sobbed: "Mother, Jue'er knows." Only with her mother can Jue'er cry happily, and in the future, the sky will be high and cloudy, and she will forget all about the past. It's just that if there is an afterlife, Jue'er just wants to be a cloth cloth commoner, and spend a lifetime with her beloved with vegetables and meals. ”

"Good boy..."Wei Zifu gently stroked Liu Jue, sighing secretly in his heart. Yes, if there is an afterlife, how can I be willing to enter the palace gate, even if I am rich and glorious, but after all, I can't resist the ordinary husband and wife's you and me, warm and accompanied.

Outside the hall, the drizzle continued, still like a sorrow that could not be dissolved, bit by bit, deep into the bottom of the heart.

"Sister, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards Guangli?" The omission in the Zhaoyang Hall walked drop by drop, as if he was chasing the footsteps of time, Li Yannian knelt on the seat and asked carefully.

"Alas..."Li Yan put down the half-peeled tribute orange in her hand and sighed: "Your Majesty still said that you should consider it. ”

"In the past, Wei Huo and Huo monopolized the military and politics, but now that Huo Qu is sick and dead, and Wei Qing cannot be trusted, what else does Your Majesty need to consider?" Li Yannian shook his head, as if puzzled.

"Brother is confused!" Li Yan raised her eyes and squinted slightly, and said with a hint of blame: "If Li Guangli is fighting for his own anger, why do I need to bother to speak to Your Majesty." ”

"What my sister said is that it's all because Guangli is not angry, and he has nothing to do all day long, which is rare for His Majesty's blue eyes." Li Yannian patted himself and blamed himself: "It's me who is confused." ”

Li Yan was a little surprised when she saw her brother like this, and said softly: "Then Li Guangli is mediocre and incompetent, but since I am Li Yan's brother, I will do my best." ”

Li Yannian nodded, and said in a good voice: "My brother has been in the palace for many years, and I know that if I want to get the holy favor for a long time, I must have a reliable person in the previous dynasty, and now my sister has a child, although my brother and I have the blue eyes of His Majesty, but I am a musician after all, if Guangli can find a position in the army, and if he is lucky, and makes military achievements, then the meaning will be different, sister." ”

Li Yanshen thought so, nodded and said: "It's hard for my brother, Yan'er will definitely find an opportunity to speak to Your Majesty again." ”

Li Yannian was satisfied, took out a sheet of music from his sleeve, spread it out, and said, "Sister, I just composed a new tune, can you play a song with Yaxing?" ”

"Brother has a new song again?" Li Yan was interested and said with a smile: "I'll take a look." ”

Li Yan plucked her hand according to the piano score, a few strands of silk bamboo into her ears, sometimes like the smoke and rain of Pinghu, sometimes into the mountains and forests, the sound of the strings is clear, and the money comes, which makes people listen and forget their worries.

It's a pity that such a clear sound comes from the palace, and if it comes from the cloth mountains, it may be more dusty.

The mountain wind swept through a forest, blowing the grass ash in front of a new tomb in all directions, Wei Qing slowly sprinkled a jar of wine in front of the tomb, and muttered to himself: "Go sick, my uncle brought a jar of good wine, you drink it slowly..."

"And the braised peanuts you like, my uncle also brought them." Wei Qing took out a bag of braised peanuts from his arms, opened it, and slowly placed it in front of the tomb. Rubbing the smooth stone tablet and touching the rows of inscriptions, Wei Qing sat down against the steps of the tomb, tears raining down.

"Sickness, you know? Uncle is so reluctant to you, although you have been gone for so many days, but uncle... Why does my uncle think you're still there? You told me that you never had the heart to fight with me, silly boy, you have been by your uncle's side for so many years, doesn't your uncle know who you are? How could my uncle think that you were fighting with me? It's because you are too straightforward and favored by Your Majesty, so your uncle will carefully keep a distance from you, so as not to arouse Your Majesty's suspicion! Uncle also thought about telling you about your hardships, but I couldn't help but worry that you were young and vigorous, and would deliberately defend me in front of Your Majesty, which would make Your Majesty even more jealous. ”

A long sigh drifted into the distance with the wind, and the mountains and forests were silent, and only the rustling of leaves was heard. Wei Qing had tears in his eyes, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the hunting ground of Ganquan Palace. "That day, you saw that your uncle was threatened by Li Kang with arrows, and you didn't think about your own situation and immediately shot Li Kang to death, although I am ashamed of Li Kang, but it is more touching that you have a heart for your uncle. But if you are sick, your heart is unpredictable, you defend your uncle so much, if your uncle is in the same breath as you in everything, I am afraid that you will also be suspicious of Your Majesty! ”

"Do you know, that day you threw your hand in front of your uncle's door, and that bang also smashed on your uncle's heart! How can my uncle not know your intentions for me, but if it weren't for His Majesty's preference for you, Li Kang's matter would never have ended so hastily, so my uncle asked you to reflect deeply to avoid acting recklessly and causing trouble in the future. ”

"But my uncle never expected that you would have been poisoned for several years and survive the pain alone, silly boy, why didn't you tell your uncle? Even if there is no cure for this poison, there is always a way to extend your life, why do you want to support it alone? Go sick..."

Wei Qing said slowly, and he couldn't cry anymore. This kind of pain on the skin, he had already experienced it once when Xiao Tianlan died, and now it is only a few years, Huo Qu's illness and sudden death, the departure of these loved ones is like a scar on the body, every time I think of it, it always makes people's hearts and intestines break.

The remnant sun is like blood, the mountain wind whimpers, looking back at the way it came, hidden in the sky and the earth. Life is the same, real, illusory, a thought arises, a thought is born, a thought is lived, and a thought is lost.

----

Since Huo Qu's death, Liu Che's mood has not been better for a day. At the beginning, he was ambitious, and vowed to uproot the Hun court, but now that the commander has passed away and the morale of the army is low, how can this battle be fought?

Confusion and hesitation, like a shadow, made Liu Che sleep, looking at the court, there is no one to replace Huo Quai, Liu Che does not feel sad from it, is this battle really endless Huns?

----

Princess Pingyang Mansion is located in the south of the North Palace, separated from the arsenal on the first street, with the jade steps of Zhumen and the golden beast rank ring, and the huge mansion covers an extremely wide area. With the sound of horses' hooves, a group of several people stopped in front of the mansion, one of the men in the narrow sleeves of the black robe stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, Princess Pingyang hurried over, bowed to the extraordinary brocade boy standing on the side and said: "I don't know that Your Majesty is here, Pingyang is far away, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

Liu Che smiled and said: "Sister Huang, I am here today, I don't need to be polite!" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled and got up as promised, and said, "Your Majesty, please!" Then the people were welcomed into the house.

The main hall sat down, Princess Pingyang retreated, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty is here today, is there something troublesome?" ”

Liu Che bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The imperial sister is so smart, she really understands people. ”

Princess Pingyang smiled: "You and my sister and brother have been on your mind for decades, Your Majesty has something on your mind, how can Pingyang not see it?" It's just that I don't know what His Majesty is worried about, and I don't know if Pingyang can be solved. ”

When Liu Che heard this, he sighed and said, "I'm worried, but I'm afraid that the imperial sister will have no good plan." It's just that I'm bored in my heart, and I have no one to complain to, so I think about it, and only the royal sister is here. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!" Princess Pingyang smiled lightly and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty if you are hesitant to go to the Xiongnu to fight against the Xiongnu?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Che had a bit of approval in his eyes, nodded and said, "The imperial sister really knows me!" Now that the hussar general has died suddenly, I can't find a suitable person to lead the army into battle. But if I give up halfway, I am unwilling, after all, I have been preparing for this battle for a long time, and I urgently need to uproot Yizhi obliquely, and never suffer in the future! ”

Princess Pingyang bowed slightly, stared and said, "Doesn't Your Majesty still have the great general Wei Qing?" Wei Qing, regardless of strength or qualifications, is the commander of the first army, and he is also the best to do! ”

"I know." Liu Che's eyebrows furrowed, and he said worriedly: "The imperial sister must still remember that when the imperial grandmother was alive, the relatives were in power, and I am the emperor in name only, and everything depends on the imperial grandmother's face." My relatives are so constrained, I have experienced it myself, how can I repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

"But... Isn't the hussar general also a relative? Princess Pingyang's eyes fluttered, and she still asked with a deep groan.

"Although Huo Qubing is a relative, but after all, he is young, his talent lies in leading the army to fight, and he has no intention of factional disputes. Liu Che's face was solemn and he said slowly.

Princess Pingyang said softly, her expression was a little solemn, and said: "Your Majesty is hesitating now, is it worried that Wei Qing is in charge of the military and politics alone, and there are queens and princes in the harem, will they rely on each other in the future and repeat the troubles of the imperial grandmother back then?" ”

"What does the imperial sister think?" Liu Che took a sip of the soaked dragon well, and looked at Princess Pingyang with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Princess Pingyang held the pot and poured tea, and said in a calm tone: "The queen has a pure and docile temperament, and the harem has been peaceful for many years, and her actions are far from the imperial grandmother. The general Wei Qing has made great achievements over the years, but he is not arrogant, and he is affectionate and righteous, does Pingyang think that His Majesty is too worried? ”

"I didn't expect the imperial sister to have such praise for Wei Qing!" Liu Che sighed lightly, and then changed his words: "Although they are humble and low-key at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future?" If I don't take precautions early, I will be afraid that it will be too late to regret it! ”

"Your Majesty!" Princess Pingyang stared: "What will happen in the future, who can say clearly?" It's better to live a good moment, the person who should be trusted trusts wholeheartedly, and take precautions as a precautionary place, but don't overdo it! ”

Liu Che's heart moved when he heard this, and he said loudly: "What the imperial sister said is true, and it suddenly made me suddenly brighter!" The doubts that had been stuck in my heart before were swept away. After that, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp and nodded again and again.

When Princess Pingyang saw Liu Che like this, she couldn't help but smile, and also took a sip of hot tea, and suddenly heard Liu Che say: "Since the imperial sister married into the Xiahou family, I have rarely seen Xiahou Po, I want to come to the imperial sister's marriage, or the queen mother asked me to point it out, I don't know if the imperial sister is satisfied?" ”

Princess Pingyang lowered her head and put down the teacup, and said with a faint smile: "Over the years, I have become accustomed to it." ”

Hearing Princess Pingyang's light tone, Liu Che couldn't help but ask, "But is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes crossed a trace of resentment, but it was fleeting, and there was still a faint smile on her face, and she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is fine." ”

Seeing that his sister didn't want to say more, Liu Che didn't ask anymore, but he was suspicious in his heart, looking out the window as the sun gradually changed, Liu Che couldn't help but get up and said: "It's not early, I should go back to the palace, this trip is quite rewarding, it seems that I have any problems in the future, so I have to come here to ask the imperial sister for advice." ”

Princess Pingyang hurriedly bowed to the side, and said in a humble tone: "Your Majesty's words are serious, Your Majesty and my mother are compatriots, it is the luck of Pingyang to be able to share your Majesty's worries, how can you give two words?" ”

Liu Che nodded and smiled slightly, and immediately walked out of the main hall. The harsh winter has passed, the warm sun is lazy, under the oblique beam, the blue and gray tiles of the Luan Bird Branches of the Princess's Mansion are glowing with a soft luster in the sunset, and a green plant in the corner of the wall has spit out tender shoots, and spring is not far away.

----

After Liu Che returned to the palace, he immediately ordered someone to privately investigate Xiahou Po, and soon there were results. Looking at the roll of bamboo slips presented, the words were shocking, and the words were shocking, and Liu Che suddenly became angry.

"Xiahou Po, hereditary Marquis of Ruyin, heir of the second year of Yuanguang. Yuan Shuo married Princess Pingyang in the first year, Yuan Shuo looked for death and life for the Jade Pavilion girl in the fourth year, Yuan Hunt fought with the people because of the first card of Qingfang Lou in the second year, and Yuan Hunt bought Oiran in Bibo Fang for five years..."

Liu Che became more and more unbearable, what kind of prodigal lust this is, leaning on the red and green in the plain days, lingering in the land of fireworks, I really don't know how the sister of the princess has endured it all these years.

"In the first year of Yuan Ding, he committed adultery with his father's maidservant, and was discovered by his father, and the father and son turned against him..."

"Smack!" There was a heavy sound of bamboo slips falling to the ground, and even the tea on the imperial case was overturned and splashed to the ground, so frightened that the little yellow door standing in the hall hurriedly came to pick it up. Liu Che's face was like sinking water, and he said coldly: "Xuanyu History." ”

However, after a few months, Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin, was held accountable by the imperial court and arrested and imprisoned on the grounds of "despising the sect and not abiding by the ancestral system". Soon after, Princess Pingyang reconciled with her, and soon after, Xiahou Po committed suicide in prison.
