Chapter 105: Two Worlds Fate

"Qiaoxi, are you ready for the wedding dress?" As the New Year approached quickly, in addition to the personnel on duty and the garrison, other institutions of Tiance Mansion began to gradually slow down from the intense and busy work some time ago. At this time, the external environment was not bad, after the defeat of Li Keyong's Hedong Army in the Battle of Chang'an, the 100,000 army was wiped out, and his vitality was greatly damaged. So the New Year is coming, Li Xuanqing is also completely idle, and he began to enjoy a rare leisure time with Qiaoxi. At this moment, the two came to the foot of Lishan alone, Lishan was snowy in winter, and it was inaccessible after the war.

"Don't worry, it's been ready for a long time. I made it myself from the master in Brother Xu's workshop. Qiaoxi's face was red from the cold, but her expression was very excited, and her silver bell-like voice seemed to come from outside the sky, "Big brother, there will be no change in our marriage this time, we are about to get married last time, but big brother, you are gone." After saying this, his originally bright eyes darkened slightly.

Li Xuanqing also sighed softly, how could he know that this kind of thing would happen in his previous life, but fortunately, in this life, the two of them met strangely again, so thinking of this, Li Xuanqing stepped forward and grabbed Qiaoxi's hands, and said with a smile: "No one in this life can separate us." In the previous life, the big brother who we didn't have time in this life promised to do what he said, and we would hold a thousand-year-old wedding. ”

"Big brother, let's put the jade lion here, and then go to Yang Guifei to see if the place where he bathed back then is still there." Qiaoxi smiled, took Li Xuanqing's hand and walked up along the Lishan Imperial Road.

Lishan is a royal garden in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the pavilions and pavilions on it are magnificent and majestic, and it is very strange that the Lishan Palace has survived the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Rebellion and a series of later turmoil but has basically remained intact, but the two were surprised. Now that Guanzhong is under the rule of Tiance Mansion, Lishan Palace will also be included in the list of royal gardens, and it will be open to all the people as appropriate after the renovation is completed.

The two walked and stopped, and came to the stone urn pond along the royal road, only to see that under the snow, the pond was full of heat, and Qiaoxi stretched out his hand to fish it in the water and said with a smile: "Big brother, sure enough, the water here is the same as in later generations, it is all warm, not cold at all." ”

At this time, Lishan is in the first sunny day after the snow, under the sunshine, Qiaoxi is dressed in a pink dress, like a fairy in the dust, delicate and quiet, like a blooming snow lotus. The beauty of this moment made Li Xuanqing dare not disturb.

Looking at Li Xuanqing, who looked at him when the two of them came to Lishan in their previous life, Qiaoxi couldn't help laughing, walked over and took Li Xuanqing's hand and said, "Let's go to Huaqing Palace, okay?" ”

Li Xuanqing smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Qiaoxi, his body jumped, like a big eagle flying onto the chicken shelf, from here to Xixiuling, the two walked hand in hand through the beacon tower, and after watching it carefully, they began to go to the next place. At this time, the beacon tower was already a part of the Huaqing Palace in Lishan, but the subsequent deer trough and Jinsha Cave were slightly different from those of later generations. Especially in Jinsha Cave, this fashion does not have other allusions that were stiffened by tourism in later generations. At this time, Jinsha Cave still maintains the original characteristics, and this place, commonly known as the Hidden Cave, is the secret place where Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei had a tryst.

Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi carry the memories of two lives, and what they see and hear everywhere brings them a different nature from others. "A farewell to Lishan is deep, the forest flowers are still embroidered Lingcen, returning to the new road of the day, faintly green shade under the moss." Qiao Xi looked at the green pavilion where the lone peak stood proudly in front of him and smiled.

"Qiaoxi, don't bring this, this is a poem of the Song Dynasty." Li Xuanqing quietly scratched her nose and smiled.

"That's it. Then why don't you recite a Tang poem, brother? Qiao Xi ignored Li Xuanqing's words and tilted his head and asked.

This made Li Xuanqing speechless for a while, and he thought about it for a while, so he smiled: "When I came to Lishan, I only remembered Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred", and I don't remember anything about the rest." ”

"Then let's go to the Hall of Eternal Life to have a look, I don't know if the Hall of Eternal Life is still there." Qiaoxi pulled Li Xuanqing and was about to find where the Hall of Eternal Life was, but was grabbed by the latter and went in the direction of the Hall of Eternal Life east of the Wanzhao Pavilion.

At this time, the Palace of Eternal Life was not destroyed, Zhu Mei was caught off guard and blocked in Chang'an, and she didn't have time to stay in Lishan, which can be regarded as preserving this place that future generations yearn for infinitely. It's just that although the Lishan Palace has not been destroyed, the two dynasties of Xizong and Zhaozong have no energy to maintain it, so the Palace of Eternal Life has lost its former glory and looks a little dilapidated, but the main buildings are still there.

Qiaoxi looked at the lonely Hall of Eternal Life, her figure was a little timid, her long skirt dragged to the ground, standing on the cold ground in the hall, it looked a little thin, the north wind kept blowing from the palace gate, and the cloak on her body fluttered with the wind, swaying, and it was very good-looking.

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Hall of Eternal Life, when no one whispers in the middle of the night, I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a branch in the earth." Li Xuanqing walked over, gently held him in his arms, and groaned.

"The relics left by Emperor Xuanzong here are now things and people." Qiaoxi muttered to herself.

Li Xuanqing also sighed a little emotionally: "Emperor Xuanzong left a legend for the ages, didn't you and I follow this legend?" Originally, I thought that I was so lonely and boring to come to this era alone, but I didn't expect that the sky had eyes, and actually sent you over, and suddenly felt that God was also fair, at least for you and me. ”

"We have gone through a thousand years of time, and we can be regarded as dreaming of this, and it is not in vain that this bizarre relationship between the two worlds is in vain." Li Xuanqing looked at the clever and beautiful face in his arms and smiled slightly. At this moment, he is no longer the confident and free-flowing Tiance Army Lord, but the ordinary young man in the future who made a promise to his other half.

"Big brother, in two lifetimes, I was picked up by you, this should be caused by fate, otherwise how could I meet you in the world." Qiaoxi also seemed to remember the scene when the two of them met for the first time in these two lives, and there was an indissoluble affection in her tone.

"It's called reminiscing about the lost years." Li Xuanqing smiled and said: "The day after tomorrow, we will get married, and the relationship between the two worlds has finally come to fruition." There will be no accidents in this life. ”

"Let's go, let's go back and prepare, marriage is a big deal, you can't be sloppy." Li Xuanqing deliberately said with a straight face.

"Then I can't walk, and I'm going to carry me down." Qiaoxi played tricks, dragged Li Xuanqing's arm, and then fell directly on the latter's back.

"Wow, Qiaoxi, why are you so heavy? Do you know if you're going to lose weight? Now is no longer the era of fat as beauty, now pay attention to cherry fan plain mouth, willow small waist, go back and lose weight quickly, otherwise I don't want you. Li Xuanqing swiped his foot and almost fell to the ground.

"You're so bad, how can I be fat? If you dare not me, I will kill you. With Qiaoxi's coquettish scolding, Li Xuanqing picked up Qiaoxi, the wind was blowing under his feet, and his body was like a neon through the mountains and mountains, and he quickly went down the mountain. At the same time, a long howl shook the heavens and the earth, calling for the jade lion to come.

Not long after the two arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the jade lion also faithfully stood at the crossing and waited, riding in the dust, accompanied by the sun after the snow, and rode towards Chang'an City.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Changqing Palace, they were blocked by Cen Tianshi, who didn't know what to do when he saw the two of them coming on horseback, so Li Xuanqing looked at Qiaoxi's blushing face, and smiled slightly: "Sir, what's the urgency?" ”

"I said, lord, are you really not in a hurry? The day after tomorrow is the marriage ceremony, do you still have the heart to go out and play? Cen Tianshi smiled bitterly.

"Marriage ceremony? What is the marriage ceremony? Li Xuanqing didn't react, and asked nazily.

Cen Tianshi also knew that his lord didn't care about these etiquettes, and he didn't plan to bother him, but he forgot about them when he was busy with political affairs during this time, so he hurriedly remembered it at this time, so he hurriedly said: "The lord is not a common man now, but the clan of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of Lingyang County." The wedding naturally had to come in accordance with the rules of the princely rites of the clan. After speaking, he said with a wry smile: "The minister also forgot about this, but Cui Lian rushed over from Lingzhou to remind us before I remembered it." I have asked all the heads of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to stop what they are doing, and asked Tianxiang to also notify the subordinate agencies of the Ministry of Military Affairs, there are still two days to go, this matter must not be sloppy, otherwise people will laugh to death. ”

Li Xuanqing frowned, pulled Qiaoxi and Cen Tianshi to the Changqing Palace, and said, "I vaguely remember that if you follow the courtesy of the princess, it will be too late for those two days, what are you going to do?" And that Cui Lian, why did he come? Don't you plan to follow Yang Fugong to Shannan West Road? ”

Cen Tianshi didn't care about Cui Lian at this time, and said directly: "In fact, the first few steps of the prince's ceremony can now be directly omitted, mainly the layout of the wedding scene and the costumes of the lord, these miscellaneous things are too cumbersome, and we basically don't know these." I have already given Cui Lian full authority to deal with this matter, and the crown clothes of the lord and the Qiaoxi girl have now been made. The rest is also being laid out. The main thing is that the lord should not go out for the past two days, and he can familiarize himself with these etiquette rules. ”

Li Xuanqing looked at Cen Tianshi's solemn expression, and knew what they were thinking at the moment, their wedding was too related, and it even directly reflected the influence of Tiance Mansion in the hearts of the people all over the world, so after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to interrupt him, nodded and said: "Mr. has worked hard in the past few days, with Mr. Assist, our great cause is much smoother." ”

Cen Tianshi was also relieved to see Li Xuanqing nodding, and said: "Although the wedding of the lord has become cumbersome, it will definitely be arranged in the future, please rest assured." After speaking, he arched his hand at Qiaoxi and smiled: "Tianshi also represents the Tiance Mansion, thank you for your understanding." ”

His salute made Qiaoxi hurriedly stand up and salute back: "Qiaoxi doesn't dare to be a big gift for Mr., the great cause of Tiance is related to tens of millions of people, and Qiaoxi listens to the big brother in everything." ”

Cen Tianshi saw that the big thing had been done, so he simply sat down and said, "That Cui Lian still thinks that the lord has time to meet him." ”

Cen Tianshi's words Li Xuanqing suddenly sounded a big thing, frowned and said, "Mr. doesn't want Cui Lian to come to the palace on an errand, right?" I was about to tell my husband that I was going to cancel the eunuchs. ”

Li Xuanqing's words made Cen Tianshi ponder, and Qiaoxi saw the two of them talking, turned around and walked to the apse to prepare food.

It's no wonder that Cen Tianshi thought about Li Xuanqing's words, as long as people of insight in this era basically have no good impression of the eunuch group in the Tang Dynasty, control the government, influence the political situation, and even control the abolition of the emperor, these notorious crimes are a lot to say, but if the eunuchs are hastily abolished, how to deal with things in the court in the future?

Seeing Cen Tianshi raised his head and looked at himself, Li Xuanqing nodded and said: "Originally, eunuchs are harmful, and the palace envoys don't need to be so secretive, the reason why royal secrets need to be kept secret is because they are afraid that the people will talk about it." In fact, this is also a kind of politics of foolishness. The Tang Dynasty we want to shape is an open Tang Dynasty, a Tang Dynasty with free speech, so that the people are willing to speak, like to speak, national affairs, is a major event of the country, and naturally needs the participation of the people. Only when the whole people participate in national affairs can everyone actively contribute to the country and the world. ”

Li Xuanqing's words were too advanced, and the theories in them could be said to be shocking in this era, and this idea of the whole people participating in state affairs ran counter to the policy of governing the country that was governed by foolish people pursued by all dynasties. So Cen Tianshi didn't know what to say for a while, but although the many policies for governing the country proposed by Li Xuanqing in the past two years or so were novel, they were a little magical, so Cen Tianshi didn't plan to pay attention to these words for a while, and it was a bit too early to talk about these things now. Anyway, knowing that Li Xuanqing wanted to cancel the eunuch's meaning, he didn't bother with these anymore when he thought of this, and said with a smile: "The lord's meaning is understood." However, if Cui Lian does a good job in this ceremony, let's leave a way for him, after all, we can't find anyone in our group who is familiar with etiquette. ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and said: "It's good for Mr. to look at these things, as long as you can do things with peace of mind, Tiance Mansion will not bury talents, and no one will discriminate against his identity." ”

After saying this, Cen Tianshi and Li Xuanqing began to discuss the specific details of the wedding, due to the tight time, basically no one was invited, except for the main heads of Tiance Mansion, there were only a few wealthy businessmen. Many years later, when the two talked about this matter again, they also felt a lot of emotion, although the marriage ceremony was hurried and hasty, but it inadvertently opened the breath of a new era of the empire.
