The end of the year is approaching, Ruoxiu's death day is coming again, she has been away for two years, and the heavy snow in the depths of winter has buried her and her mother's graves in the snow.

I sat between them and looked into the distance, and after two years, I had learned to face it all calmly, facing the departure of the two most important women in my life. The hut next to the grave is still there, and I am here to accompany them to celebrate the New Year.

In the eleventh year of the great cause, it kicked off in a chaotic snow.

The spring cold is still the same, I was about to leave for the Turks, an edict came from the Eastern Capital, I had not been in contact with the imperial court for a long time, and I was suddenly appointed as the internal history squire, to assist Pei Ju, who was then the internal history of the order, to deal with the affairs of the Turks. At about the same time, Li Shimin proposed to his father to get married, and I learned on the way to the post that he was going to marry the sister of the eldest grandson Wuji, who often traveled to and from the Tang Mansion.

In fact, Neishi Shilang's place of work should have been in Zhongshu Province, but Zhongshu made Pei Ju know the Turks very well, and he also knew that the current Shibi Khan was different from his father Qimin Khan, so he stayed in Yanmen County and tried every means to disintegrate the Turkic power.

I went to the post this time not only with Tang Lin's guards, but also Zimin, who was disguised as a man, and I didn't want to take her there, but she made a third request, asking me to take her with me wherever I went. I can't be a man of my word, so I had to agree.

Yanmen County is far away, and as soon as we arrived in Yanmen County, news came, saying that my father was changed from Wei Wei Shaoqing to Shanxi Hedong Comfort Ambassador, and set off for Hedong County. Coupled with my appointment, I know that my father's previous self-stigmatization has had an effect, and Yang Guang now trusts him more and more.

Pei Ju is a white-haired old man of a lot of age, unlike Yang Guang, he does not have Yang Guang's confidence in thinking that his Great Sui River and Mountains can dominate the four seas, his attitude towards the Turks is extremely cautious, and his firm belief can be described in one sentence - if it is not my race, its heart must be different. Out of subtlety of my feelings towards Shibi Khan, I very much agree with his words.

I have long heard of what Pei Ju did to foreigners, and the reason why Princess Dayi, who was married to Dulan Khan, was killed was because Pei Ju was keenly aware of the former Emperor Yang Jian's dissatisfaction with Princess Dayi's longing for the homeland of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and conspired with Changsun Sheng to frame him for fornicating with Dulan Khan's entourage, and was killed by Dulan Khan. Not only that, but he also provoked the relationship between the Western Turkic Khan Chuluo and the chieftain Shekui, resulting in the Western Turks being unable to compete with the Sui Dynasty, and the Luolai Dynasty also surrendered to Yang Guang, and the entire Western Turks could no longer become a hidden danger for the Sui Empire in the northwest.

Because Tuyuhun was also wiped out and Fu Yun fled far away, only the Eastern Turks were left on the border of the Sui Dynasty.

In the face of the failure of the Eastern Crusade and the domestic situation of civil strife, Pei Ju's attitude towards the Turks is much softer than before. Shibi Khan was not a busy person, and there was a Hu man from the Western Regions Shi Shu Hu Xi as a minister, not only to the north to subdue some of the original Western Turkic forces, but also with Goguryeo, there is a tendency to fight against the Great Sui. In order to divide the power of the Turks, Pei Ju pondered and meditated, and proposed to Yang Guang, planning to choose a woman in the clan to marry Shibi Khan's younger brother Qi Jishe, and named him the Southern Khan.

This kind of trick, they used to play against the Western Turks, and now they are repeating the same trick, and from what I know about Shibi Khan, this matter is not so simple.

The daughter of the clan they chose was Yang Shi'an, the niece of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan. I suspect that they are mistaken, Yang Shi'an is just a teenage girl, how can they send a teenage girl into the tiger's mouth?

The person in charge of sending Yang Shi'an to the Turks was one of my cousins, Li Chen, who was currently serving as a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he first sent Yang Shi'an to the Yanmen County Governor's Office, which is where Pei Ju currently works.

I knew that this incident would definitely alarm someone, and sure enough, one night I was sitting opposite Zi Min and was playing chess, and Du Kill appeared without warning.

Zimin was very surprised to see Du Shu appear, but Du Shu didn't look at her, and only said coldly to me: "Brother, she can't marry a Turk." ”

Zimin answered: "This matter, the eldest brother is thinking of a way. ”

Du Shu glanced at Zimin coldly and ignored her. The strange thing is that Du Shu didn't have such a big hostility towards Zimin before, and this time she came as if she had a great enmity with Zimin.

I left a son behind and said, "Don't worry, the Turks still have to go, but I have a plan, and she will come back from the Turks safely." ”

Du Kill approached, and said coldly: "Please bother, brother." Seeing me nodding, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she was mixed by the hem of her skirt and fell towards Zimin. Zimin got up to help him, but in a hurry, he overturned the chessboard, and the chess pieces were scattered on the ground.

Zi Min helped Du Kill and said softly: "Girl, be careful." ”

Du Shu flicked his sleeves and pushed Zimin away, and said, "Thank you." After saying that, he jumped and left the window.

I looked at the figure of Du Shu leaving for some reason, and then looked down at the chess pieces that had fallen to the ground, and Zi Min was already bowing down to clean up.

I knew very well in my heart that Du Shu was deliberately trying to disrupt this game of chess, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I said to Zimin: "You don't have to clean up, you go back to your room and sleep first." ”

Zimin shook his head and smiled: "I'm not sleepy yet." She pointed to the window where Du Kill left, "Why is the matter of kissing related to Du Kill girl?" ”

I also squatted down to pick up the scattered chess pieces with her, and said, "Yang Shi'an actually ...... It was Yang Su's youngest daughter, Yang Su had a premonition that his power would shake the master, and there were fears of variables behind him, so he entrusted his youngest daughter to King Guan, and Du Kill came with her, which was also entrusted by others. ”

Zi Min said: "I see? Then he lowered his head and cleaned up, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.

I was stunned, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Zimin looked up and saw me looking at her, pointed to the chessboard and said, "I thought that Du Ji girl was extremely cold, but I didn't expect it to be interesting, no wonder Mr. Zhang's funny person would value her so much." ”

She had known that Du Kill was deliberate.

I shook my head and smiled: "Sister Du Kill wouldn't be like this before, following Zhang Wensu, I learned badly." ”

After packing up for a long time, he finally found all the chess pieces, Zimin got up and said, "The night is deep, big brother rest early." ”

I nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Do you know how to write?" ”

Zimin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Writing?" ”

I said, "Copying other people's words, will you?" ”

Zimin shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it." ”

I didn't know why, but I was a little disappointed, and waved my hand: "That's it." After that, he went back to his room.

Zi Min said: "Big brother, although I haven't tried it, it's okay to try it now." ”

I'm not very hopeful about it, this kind of thing requires talent, but her interest seems to be high. I just made such a fuss after being killed by Du, I couldn't bear to spoil her interest anymore, so I nodded and said, "Okay." ”
