Chapter 872: Arriving in Chang'an
In Li Fengniang's concept, she never wanted a very stiff relationship with Ye Qing, let alone a hostile relationship with Ye Qing all the time.
So in her heart, either Ye Qing was used by her and still became her subordinate as before, or she made her vow for many years to let Ye Qing disappear from this world forever.
But now she has no advantages in either, time is ruthless after all, and the years have faintly begun to climb into the corners of her eyes, although the whole person still looks charming, bright and moving, but Li Fengniang is no longer as confident in her appearance as before, and believes that she still has enough charm to make Ye Qing still linger in her gentle township.
Similarly, the failure of cooperation with Zhao Ruyu is equivalent to losing the best opportunity for her to put Ye Qing to death again, and even from now on, it will be difficult for her to find such a good opportunity to put that minister to death in the future.
Ye Qing was under the city wall of Chang'an, Jingzhao Mansion, and made the one: "The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road." Looking at the western capital, hesitating, sad Qin and Han meridians, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer! "It's on her desk at this point.
Ye Qing has already expressed his position and attitude through this poem, if the imperial court dares to convict him, Chang'an City has become a palace of soil, and it is not impossible to reappear in front of the world.
"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer." Li Fengniang muttered this sentence, with her familiarity and understanding of Ye Qing, she didn't believe that Ye Qing was just lamenting the people, and she would never believe that Ye Qing regarded herself as an ordinary person, but this sentence was obviously still warning herself, the saint, and the court, the rise and fall are related to the people, since they are all suffering, then it doesn't matter if another court is established.
"Shechen, do you really think I want to kill you?" Li Fengniang looked at herself in the mirror and muttered to herself: "But I really want to kill you!" In that case, if you die, I, Li Fengniang, will be desperate to rehabilitate you, add all kinds of nicknames for you, treat your wife and children well, and let you know that I, Li Fengniang, am not a ruthless and unrighteous woman under Jiuquan. But you live, and I hate you! I not only want to be the queen of the world, but I also want to be the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but you are always a hidden danger when you live, isn't it? ”
"Queen, I believe that the princess asks to see you." Zhu Ye'er stood not far behind Li Fengniang and said in a low voice.
"Got it, let her wait in the temple." Li Fengniang looked at herself in the mirror and smiled charmingly, and then when she was about to get up, she suddenly frowned and said: "From today on, call for Mrs. Ye, the palace has decided to marry her to Ye Qing, the Duke of Lu." ”
"Yes, Queen." Zhu Ye'er's heart is like water, and there is no way to guess what is the reason for the queen's change today.
In the Cining Palace, Bai Chun, who was asked by Queen Li Fengniang to her love, was in the heavy snow at this time, and she poked her head out of the window with some excitement, the cold wind whistled past her ears, her soft hair instantly danced with the wind, and her cheeks were red from the cold wind, but this could not be suppressed, she looked at the snowy distance with excitement, the legendary Chang'an City.
On November 10 of the first year of Shaoxi, Bai Chun finally saw the legendary Chang'an City, and after trekking in the cold northland for many days, she had been nervous and excited, and she seemed more and more excited at this moment.
The long convoy was still slowly moving towards the gate of Chang'an City, but Bai Chun hated to ignore the snowstorm in front of him at the moment, and flew to Chang'an City in an instant, standing in front of his husband.
At the gate of Chang'an City, soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth, and as their convoy appeared in the sight of the defenders at the city gate, they saw dozens of horsemen at the gate of the city, and the snowflakes in the air were stirred up like a whirlwind in an instant, and then rushed towards their convoy.
"Mo Xiaobao has seen Madame." Mo Xiaobao stopped in front of the carriage, turned over and dismounted, and saluted.
Bai Chun, who had been lifting the curtain of the car and looking at the gate of Chang'an City, squeezed out a smile on his red cheeks, and looked Mo Xiaobao up and down before asking, "What about Lord Ye?" ”
Mo Xiaobao looked at the two carriages behind Bai Chun, and then took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Ye is now in the government office, waiting for King Qing and Chongguo Gong. ”
Bai Chun was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously turned his head to look at the carriage of King Qing and Duke Chongguo behind him, and instantly understood why Ye Qing didn't meet him at the gate of the city.
Bai Chun nodded, and then motioned to Mo Xiaobao to continue to lead the way into the city, at this moment, she was still reluctant to put down the car curtain, she didn't want to miss even any opportunity to look at Chang'an City, but also wanted to feel what kind of city Ye Qing had been in these days, and whether Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty could be the same day in the heavy snow.
I don't know when, King Qing and Chongguo Gong also opened each other's car curtains, and through the gap where the cold wind came in, they looked at Chang'an City, which was completely different from what they imagined, regardless of the cold.
Although the capital has not been built in Chang'an since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it was originally thought of building a capital in Chang'an, but it was forced by the situation and the opposition of the courtiers that the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty would continue to move eastward.
But even so, Chang'an also occupies a pivotal position in the hearts of these royal relatives, but the city presented in front of them at this moment is more than 108,000 miles different from the magnificent Chang'an City in their impression.
Everywhere there were low houses, everywhere there were narrow streets, and in the snowy sight, from the time they entered the tattered and narrow city gate, everything before them was completely different from what they had imagined, and even in some places, it seemed to them as if they had just experienced the devastation of a war.
On the deserted and snow-white street, there are only a string of footprints and some crooked rut marks, it is difficult to see pedestrians, sedan chairs, horse-drawn carriages appear on the street, from time to time you can see some taverns, inns, restaurants, shops, etc., but they are all a dilapidated appearance, compared with Yangzhou and Lin'an, it is simply like another world, desolate and lonely, barren and lonely.
"His Royal Highness King Qing, Chongguo Gong, please." Yu Yunwen stood at the door of the government office, leading a group of officials to greet him in the snow, while Bai Chun's carriage, under the leadership of Mo Xiaobao, continued to slowly drive forward.
"Lord Yu Yunwen Yu?" After Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun stepped out of the carriage, he asked slightly stunned after saluting with Yu Yunwen and other officials.
When Yu Yunwen served as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, he already knew Yu Yunwen, but at that time, everyone was in Yangzhou to perform their own duties, so there was not a lot of contact.
But now that they meet again, Yu Yunwen has lost a lot of weight, and the elegant aura on his body has gradually been replaced by a fierce military spirit, and the whole person now looks more calm and introverted, giving people a sense of steadfastness and peace of mind.
Qingwang Zhao Kai saw Yu Yunwen for the first time, but he also admired Yu Yunwen, who became famous in the battle of quarrying, for many years.
At the beginning, he was just an inconspicuous civil official, but he was able to lead the garrison army as a civil official when the military generals sent by the imperial court could come, and defeated the menacing Wan Yanliang, so that he could not cross the Yangtze River until his death, and kept the peace of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although he was depressed in the court later, and although he won the battle and was very thorough, he Yu Yunwen led the army to fight after all, so later the merits and demerits were offset, and Yu Yunwen was sent to Dali Temple by the imperial court, so he ignored it.
Whether it is Yu Yunwen's calm bearing, or the momentum that is inadvertently revealed on his body, as well as his slightly elegant demeanor, Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, was deeply impressed, and he shouted in his heart: Maybe only such a courtier can be called a real courtier of the Great Song Dynasty.
As for Ye Qing, although he also admires it, compared to Yu Yunwen, the wolf-like cruelty on Ye Qing's body sometimes makes King Qing a little jealous, and even sometimes feels a faint sense of apprehension and uneasiness.
"Chen Yeqing has seen His Royal Highness King Qing and ...... Chongguo." Ye Qing stood at the door of the council hall of the government office, wearing the black fur coat that had been worn for many years, and walked out from afar and stood in the snow to salute Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun.
"Lord Ye doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun returned the salute in the snow one after another, and then followed Ye Qing towards the meeting hall.
The meeting hall was not as cold as Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun imagined, but it seemed very warm, and after a while, the residual snow brought in by their feet quietly began to melt and soak the upper of their shoes.
"It's a stove, an iron stove, for heating. As for this black stone, it was sent by the golden people. Ye Qing pointed to the iron furnace in the right room, this thing is no stranger to Zhao Shichun, but for Zhao Kai, it is still a little unfamiliar.
Especially the teapot placed above, at this time, a faint white gas was emitting from the spout, which caused Zhao Kai to exclaim: can you not only boil water but also heat up?
"King Qing doesn't need to be surprised, these things have already been arranged in the mansion arranged for you, but because of the rush of time, the mansion arranged for King Qing and Chongguo Gong can only be unsatisfactory. The minister thinks like this, wait until the spring of next year, and then build two brand-new mansions for King Qing and Chongguo Gong in the best part of Chang'an City, as for the style of the mansion at that time, etc., I also hope that King Qing and Chongguo Gong can give them more suggestions when the time comes. After all, these are all rough people, and they can't grasp some details and delicate things. "What Ye Qing said was an understatement, and the clouds were light and light, but in the ears of King Qing and Chongguo Gong, it was like five thunderbolts.
The warm and concise words, no polite words, but every sentence was poked in the hearts of King Qing and Chongguogong, so that the two of them instantly realized that if they wanted to return to Yangzhou and Lin'an, they were afraid that it would be far away, and Ye Qing planned to stay here for a long time.
