A heavy snowfall has stained the Shendu white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is often said that the snow is a good year. But for the people of Luoyang, this heavy snow does not seem to bring much good luck.

The first year of Chang'an was by no means a quiet year.

In this year, so many things have happened that many Luoyang people feel terrified.

The fact that Li Dan, the prime minister, was driven out of Luoyang seemed to mean that he had moved away from the center.

In the court, there are frequent personnel changes, which makes people feel dizzying, and it also shows that Wu Zetian's mood is unpredictable.

Hebei Province suffered from a major drought, but the displaced people went south.

The emperor of the earthquake country, Da Zuorong, repeatedly raised troops, although he was defeated and retreated every time, but he caused real damage to Youzhou.

The rise of Silla on the Korean Peninsula revealed a posture of confrontation with the central government.

Seeing this, Daejo-young allied with Silla and expanded the territory under his control a lot.

In addition, the Khitans were also preparing to move, but they were forced by Xue Ne's power to act rashly. The Turkic Khan snorted silently, and after the onset of winter, he again copied the border. This time, the Turks invaded the state and returned to the desert after capturing more than 10,000 people.

The Tubo people once again sent troops to attack Shazhou.

Annan rebelled and killed the capital of Annan, which was huge, and provoked most of Lingnan Province to fall into turmoil......

All of the above shows the turmoil of the first year of Chang'an.

In the case of this continuous arrival of bad news, Wu Zetian's mood has become more and more strange and elusive.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A team of carriages and horses drove out of Luoyang City.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the road was a little slippery and muddy.

However, the speed of the carriage and horses was extremely fast, crushing the ice on the road, and the ice chips were splashing.

"San Lang, hurry up."

"I know, don't rush, it's coming soon!"

The person who drove the car was a teenager.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, revealing a reckless air. The complexion is slightly dark, showing the health of many years of outdoor activities.

The roads are slippery and muddy, but the teenager's skills in driving the car are outstanding.

The carriage was a little bumpy, but the speed did not slow down in the slightest...... He spoke loudly as he urged the carriage and horses.

"Sister Hugh has to worry, it is true that grandmother is angry, but the eldest brother and brother-in-law are their own family after all, so it will not be a big problem."

"That's what I said, but I ...... in my heart."

In the carriage, a weak and pleasant voice came out.

She didn't say any more and kept her mouth shut, but the boy could feel the anxiety and fear in her heart.

"Drive!"

He did not dare to slack off, and whipped his horse.

In the distance, Cuiyun Peak was already faintly visible.

In the peach blossom valley, the snow is white.

Outside a simple thatched hut, a young girl was standing.

The scenery in the valley is extremely beautiful, but between her eyebrows, there is a trace of sorrow.

"Dao Chief, the water is boiling."

A crisp voice came from the hut, and a round-faced girl with a double bun jumped out and said to the young girl in Taoist costumes.

The girl in the costume didn't answer, just looked at the snow outside the house.

"Little bell, it's about to end the year.

The brother-in-law said that he would come back soon, but this year is over, and he hasn't come back yet...... Did he forget me? ”

"Dao Chief, don't be cranky."

When the round-faced girl heard this, her head shook like a rattle and said, "Didn't Mr. Chen come over the day before yesterday to say that Gongzi is now presiding over the war in the wilderness, and communication is not very convenient, so there is no news." Childe, he will not forget the Taoist. ”

"But there's always going to be news."

The sadness on the face of the girl in Taoist clothes became clearer and clearer, and she said distressedly: "It's been half a year, but there is not even a letter.

You know, that little hoof must have been very proud of following him. ”

"The Taoist ......"

The round-faced girl wanted to persuade again, but saw the girl in the costume wave her hand and interrupt her words.

"Forget it, it's just a matter of annoyance.

Let's go make tea...... Hee-hee, I must learn the art of tea with one hand, and my brother will be amazed when the time comes. ”

As she spoke, she turned and prepared to return to the hut.

But at this moment, a dog barked and came.

The four mastiffs barked incessantly at Taniguchi, attracting the attention of the maiden.

"Who's coming?"

"Dao Chief, you go make tea, I'll take a look."

The girl nodded and returned to the house.

The hut is very simple, but the furnishings are elegant.

Next to a tea boat, there is a red clay stove. In the stove, the charcoal fire is red, and the clay pot on the stove is steaming.

The girl walked to the back of the tea boat and sat down, stretched out her bare hand, took the kettle, and prepared to brew it.

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.

"Bao'er, Bao'er help!"

The girl's hand trembled, the kettle was crooked, and she almost poured boiling water on her hand.

However, instead of getting angry, she looked up and looked out in confusion, and stood up at the same time.

That voice, she is not unfamiliar, it is the voice of her sister, Li Xianhui, the lord of Yongtai......

Bao'er returned to Luoyang in midsummer. After returning to Luoyang, she had to be punished. sneaked out with Yang Shouwen, which really frightened Li Xian and his wife. However, although Li Xian and his wife were unhappy, they were not too angry.

The old girl is finally back, how can she be willing to reprimand?

What's more, Bao'er has a bad temper.

provokes her, and if she leaves home, it will be a big trouble. Previously, she went out to be taken care of by Yang Shouwen, and although Li Xian was anxious, he was not worried. But if she goes home again, she will not have Yang Shouwen's care, who can be responsible for what happens?

Therefore, after Bao'er came back, Li Xian just scolded him painlessly.

It was Wu Zetian, who first praised Bao'er, then severely reprimanded, and ordered her to return to Taiwei Palace and not to go out of Cuiyun Peak...... At first, Bao'er didn't care. Anyway, Yang Shouwen will be back to accompany her soon.

Who would have thought that the affairs of this Jiannan Road would emerge one after another, and there would be wars one after another.

Yang Shouwen has not heard from him for half a year.

If it weren't for Li Linfu, Yang Yu and others who came to report from time to time, I was afraid that Bao'er would have been unable to bear it and ran out of Cuiyun Peak.

Yang Shouwen is not there, but Taohuayu is here!

Soon after Bao'er returned to Taiwei Palace, he moved from the mountains to Taohuayu.

The valley was deserted, and Yang Chenglie was also worried that she was too lonely, so he agreed to her request and left the four mastiffs in the valley.

Anyway, the mastiff went out this time, and he was familiar with Bao'er.

It's okay to stay in the valley, and it can also protect the safety of Bao'er.

Of course, the peach blossom valley is very safe. Wu Zetian thought about it in Cuiyun Peak, how could it be that there was no arrangement?

"Sister?"

Bao'er hurriedly walked to the gate, and saw Li Xianhui looking panicked, and ran up with the support of the little bell and the little steamed bun.

Behind them, followed by the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it was Li Chongjun.

Bao'er stepped forward and hugged Li Xianhui.

"Sister, what's going on, why are you so flustered?"

"Bao'er, help."

Li Xianhui seemed to have lost her proportions, and her words were a little confused.

But Li Chongjun stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Bao'er, the eldest brother and brother-in-law have caused trouble." ”

"What misfortune?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going to kill them."

"What?"

When Bao'er heard this, he was shocked.

Wu Zetian is ruthless, of course she knows.

However, for the third generation, she is quite kind.

How can this be so good that you want to kill your eldest brother and brother-in-law? Others don't say it, but the eldest brother is the emperor's grandson and his father's eldest son.

"A few days ago, the eldest brother had an argument with Erzhang in Beishi.

Grandmother later blamed them...... The eldest brother felt wronged, so they were drunk and talked about the internal affairs. They may have gone too far, but somehow it reached the ears of the Imperial Grandmother.

The grandmother was very angry and called them over to reprimand them.

I don't know how the eldest brother actually bumped into his grandmother in public, so that the grandmother was furious and wanted to kill the two of them. ”

In fact, about the matter between Wu Zetian and Er Zhang, the rumors are boiling.

Wu Zetianquan didn't hear it, so he ignored it.

The key is that a few days ago, Zhu Jingze, the Fengge Luantai Pingzhang Affair, went to Shu Wu Zetian and severely reprimanded the Fengchen Mansion of Erzhangzhi, which did not mention some palace affairs. Wu Zetian didn't care on the surface, but he was a little annoyed in his heart.

Now, Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji actually talked about it face-to-face, which made Wu Zetian even more angry.

In addition, these days, she is in a bad mood.

Mo Si went south and kidnapped the people of the state; The Tibetan soldiers entered Shazhou, and the battle was scorching; Da Zuorong repeatedly invaded in the Northeast; And the war in Annam...... originally thought that it could be pacified quickly, but he didn't want the rebels to be strong, and most of Lingnan Road was involved in the war. At the beginning of October, Yang Shouwen wiped out the subordinates and relieved the siege of Gantang Prefecture. However, the rebels conquered Tangzhou and Xiping Prefecture one after another, and not necessarily Yongzhou...... This, but it was really beyond Wu Zetian's expectations.

Is the armament of Lingnan Province so lax?

This pile, one thing after another, already upset Wu Zetian.

And in the middle of the court, there was a voice hoping that she could recall the prime minister Li Dan, which made Wu Zetian even more annoyed. In this case, Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji angered Wu Zetian, even if they were relatives of the emperor, they were worried about their lives.

Bao'er listened to Li Chongjun's explanation, and secretly complained in her heart.

"Father's side, do you have a plea?"

"Grandmother has ordered the closure of Shangyang Palace, and no one is allowed to enter.

My father and aunt had been waiting outside Shangyang Palace for a long time, but they were not allowed to enter. I thought, you are the most favored by your grandmother on weekdays, and if you come forward to intercede, maybe you can calm your grandmother's anger and save your eldest brother and brother-in-law. ”

"Bao'er, please!"

Li Bao'er was also at a loss, and she was distressed in her heart.

That's right, Wu Zetian dotes on her. But now, she is in a state of anger, even if Bao'er goes, she may not be able to see Wu Zetian, how to persuade her?

But she couldn't sit idly by.

Wu Yanji? She didn't care, and death was death. But Li Xianhui's plea, she couldn't ignore it, she had to go. (To be continued.) )
