Chapter 535: Li Xian's Family Letters and Official Documents

The name of the third day of the month is Shangsi, which has always been a traditional festival for public amusement. The weather is new, and there are many beautiful people on the waterside of Chang'an, and every time it comes to this day, I see girls and young women going out in groups to play, and those famous rivers are the most crowded. Although it is an old custom, it is still popular among young people nowadays, not to mention that if you are lucky, you can find your other half, so there are many beautiful young men who take this opportunity to take a glimpse of the beauty.

It was lively outside, and a family banquet was being held inside the palace, and the place was chosen in the Taiye Pool. Of course, Li Hong brought the crown princess Yang Wenyin and Minghui Afei here, and even Li Xian brought his two new daughters with a majestic attitude, in comparison, the three of them looked a little alone in costumes.

When the family was drinking and celebrating Shangsi, Li Hong recited "Luo Fu, the voice was loud and full of energy: "The moon of the three springs of Fu He, the mist of the weather; The wind is smooth, and the flowers are dressed. The river is cold and cold, and the original verdant is green with dragon scales; The swimming fish is in the waves, and the birds are in the high clouds......"

Listening to this gorgeous rhetoric, Li Zhi closed his eyes and was happy, but the others invariably thought that there was only one person missing from today's banquet, so Li Lingyue, the youngest princess of Taiping, frowned, and suddenly muttered: "It's spring in March, why hasn't the sixth brother finished the war yet!" If he doesn't come back, I'll go to Liaodong to find him! ”

Although her voice was soft, Empress Wu was the most deaf and clear-sighted person, and she glared at her daughter with disgust when she heard the words, and waited until Li Hong finished reading the long Luo Fu. She smiled with a smile on her face: "This festival, it is boring to be the only one who lacks Xian'er. An official document just came from Liaodong this morning, and Xian'er just carried a letter in the middle......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi opened his eyes first, followed by Helan Yan and let out an exclamation, although Qu Tushenruo and Xu Yan barely held back, their hands couldn't help but hold together. At this time, Li Lingyue jumped up suddenly. Happily exclaimed, "Queen Mother." Why didn't you tell me about this earlier! ”

Everyone has a different reaction. Empress Wu smiled and said: "Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and this letter was delivered on March 3, isn't it a big coincidence?" Ling Yue, look at you like that, I only know Xian'er, is it possible that I don't want my father and queen mother? While reproaching her daughter, she handed the letter to Li Hong and motioned for him to read it. But he quietly leaned towards Li Zhi's side.

"Father and queen mother drove forward, and the ministers bowed their heads."

After reading this beginning, Li Hong almost couldn't help laughing, and suppressed it for a long time before maintaining that serious expression, and never laughed out loud. Although this is not a big vernacular, it is not much different from the vernacular, and if it is replaced by a certain minister of etiquette here, I am afraid that a lot of faults will have to be singled out. However. Wait for his eyes to catch a glimpse of the words behind him. Suddenly he couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and coughed before reading it again.

"The weather in Liaodong is very cold, if you don't win the battle all the way. I'm afraid that there are not a few people who are frostbitten among our sergeants. I have a big brazier burning here every day, and Rao is still freezing to death, but fortunately I have caught the stupid woman who ran away, and someone warms the bed at night, so I can barely sleep. ”

After hearing this, Li Xian couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and burst out laughing, and even the expression of the crown prince Li Hong was a little embarrassed. As for Helan Yanqu Tushen Ruo Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, she clenched her teeth at the same time, and was very annoyed in her heart - this time none of them could follow her, and they would coincidentally let Li Xian catch Gao Desheng there!

And Li Zhi and Empress Wu glanced at each other, Emperor Li was confused for a long time, and Empress Wu secretly scolded Li Xian for not knowing the severity, and hurriedly muttered a few words in her husband's ear. As a result, Li Zhi, who was in a good mood, only frowned slightly, and didn't say anything to Li Xiandi's unscrupulousness.

"The master has recovered from his illness, and he is still tough, and it seems that I, the head of the Liaodong Road march, should also step down, lest he be too carefree. Liu Xianggong commanded the Baekje Tang Army hundreds of miles away in Pyongyang, and he was also old and strong. The veteran generals and ministers are capable, and Xue Rengui and the three of them are also tiger and wolf generals, so my days are very fulfilling, and it just so happens that the princes of Silla, Kim Jung-myung and Kim Shin, have come to Pyongyang, and I have nothing to do with them, so I should pass the time. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

At this moment, Li Zhi finally choked on a sip of wine, and coughed several times before coming back to his senses, his face was full of angry expressions: "This ...... This lazy guy volunteered at the beginning, but now he has such a lazy idea! This is all pushed to someone else to do, what is the use of him staying there as a prince! ”

As soon as he finished scolding, he suddenly realized an important question, the commander and deputy commander of the Silla Army are all here, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with the prince and the treasure of the town, Jinxin? So, while motioning for Li Hong to continue reading, he began to frown and use his brain. And what he could think of, the Empress Wu next to him would not be unexpected, so this pair of honorable emperors

At the same time, my mind began to wander.

The two of them were distracted, but the group of small people below became more and more interested in Li Xian's family letter, and urged Li Hong to read it quickly. And although Helan Yan said that she couldn't wait to snatch the letter and read it carefully, this occasion was not right, she could only listen to those nagging patiently, and secretly hated Li Xian in her heart for not sending a separate letter back.

Li Xian's letter to the family is so lengthy that it is almost like a travelogue in Liaodong, and in the end, Li Hong saw the long gift list, and unconsciously sighed in his heart that Li Xian was thoughtful.

"Liaodong is rich in ginseng and deer antler velvet, and I asked people to select some of the best ones, just to nourish the body of the father, queen mother and the crown prince. Someone from the Ya tribe sent a pair of eagles, and I will bring them back to the seventh and eighth brothers on the day of the army's class; There are a few capable craftsmen in Goguryeo, and I asked people to build a batch of exquisite jewelry boxes, just to relieve the boredom of the crown princess and Yan'er Shenruo, and also caught a little red fox for Ling Yue......"

At this time, Li Zhi and Wu Houfang came back to their senses from their contemplation, and they were naturally satisfied with Li Xian's thoughtfulness. And Li Xian, Li Xulun, and Li Lingyue heard that the gifts had their own share, and they were all overjoyed, and Li Lingyue writhed with joy there, eager to run back immediately to tell Shangguan Wan'er and Awei.

Empress Wu caught a glimpse of Helan Yan rubbing her hands dissatisfiedly there, even Qu Tu Shenruo and Xu Yan were forced to smile, so she smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the three of you, Xian'er has his own family letter to you alone, but it was sent together in an official document, so I haven't had time to give it to you yet." Ah Qian! ”

Hearing this, Ah Qian stepped forward and presented a tightly sealed paper tube to Helan Yan, at this time, the three women were overjoyed, and Helan Yan was even more red and got up first to thank him.

At the end of the small banquet, everyone returned to their places, but Li Zhi did not return to Penglai Palace, but walked side by side with Empress Wu and walked to Hanliang Hall leisurely. After entering the inner hall and sending away the idle people, Emperor Li immediately showed an angry expression.

"This virtuous man, he is actually gossiping around there!"

"Your Majesty, this is a family letter, you can't say how many beheadings you have beheaded, right?" Empress Wu had already figured out her husband's thoughts, and at this time she took another paper tube from Ah Qian's hand with a smile, "The concubine got this in the morning, but it was the Liaodong war report submitted by Xian'er, which should have been discussed by the political hall first, but the concubine asked Li Jingxuan to send it first." ”

Although he already considered himself a virtuous monarch who had never been seen before or since, Emperor Li's patience had not improved, and his brows stretched at the moment, but he still urged: "Mei Niang, why didn't you say it earlier!" Quick, give me a thought! ”

Although Empress Wu is now full-fledged, and the power in her hands has faintly exceeded that of the day when there was Li Yifu, she is more experienced in handling things, which is why she did not open the paper tube until this moment. Brushing the seal from the top, she took out the scroll, unfolded it, and began to read it word by word. At first, she could still speak at a steady pace, but as she read, she didn't feel a sudden burst in her heart, but her voice remained calm.

"The whole territory of Goguryeo has been pacified, but there are still stubborn people in various places, but it is only the light of fireflies, and it is not enough to compete with the bright moon. What is worrying is Silla, there were rumors of killing Su Dingfang in the past, and there were rumors about poisoning Li Sikong, and then there was a plot to covet the territory of Liaodong. Chenxian thought that Silla did not dare to touch the territory bordering our Tang Dynasty in the north of Goguryeo, but once the Tang army withdrew from Baekje Goguryeo, Baekje would become an enclave, and it would definitely be occupied by Silla, and the southern border of Goguryeo would also be swallowed by Silla. ”

Li Zhi is not a faint gentleman who eats a corpse vegetarian meal, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded again and again, and then he felt that he had not thrown his son there to exercise in vain. However, it was the first time he had heard of the so-called rumors of the killing, and he decided to read the other people's reports in detail later.

"The Three Kingdoms of Haidong were originally dominated by Goguryeo, but now the momentum has changed, and the ministers and sages thought that the Goguryeo monarch would sacrifice the prisoner of Zhaoling, and the spirit of Emperor An Taejong in the sky, but if Silla was not destroyed, Goguryeo would not be destroyed. The minister heard that King Kim Famin of Silla was the king of Baekje as the wife of the royal family, and the two countries married each other despite being enemies, and his intention was self-evident. Our Tang Dynasty army stationed in Baekje is homesick and has served for many years, so it is necessary to let them return, but there are many rangers in the country who are willing to serve in the country, and they can be recruited to go to Baekje. If its strength can be reduced, the money and food consumed in the battle of Liaodong will not be in vain. ”

Seeing this, Empress Wu was very fortunate that this letter was not passed in the political hall now, otherwise it would have caused an uproar, after all, there were many dead-eyed people among the courtiers, but the king's benevolence was made to be seen. Seeing Li Zhishen pulling his beard vigorously, Empress Wu knew that her husband was moved, so she persuaded while the iron was hot. waited until she sent her husband out of Hanliang Palace, and she summoned Ah Qian.

"Is it really confirmed?" Ah Qian replied in a low voice without raising her head: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
