Chapter 102: The Two Liang Siblings
Some people don't know how to do a thing, it's honest; Some know how to do one thing, this is the wish; Some decided to do it, and that's the attitude; Some people try to do it, and it's courage; Of all these things, there is only one thing that is not important, and that is the result.
Li Xili just went from not knowing how to do it, to thinking of how to do it, and then deciding to do it, and working hard to do it, but it was just the result of the success or failure of the thing, but he couldn't decide it, and this result was in the hands of a woman.
This woman: She is very beautiful, beautiful enough to tempt Li Liangzuo; She has some talent, which is enough to make Li Xili admire; She has some scheming, enough to take power like the Wuzang clan, but her wish is to be "Wu Zetian". Li Xili's psychology can't say what complicated feelings he has for this woman. Once, her father was Li Xili's benefactor, and later, she was the daughter-in-law of his enemy's family; Now, she is the woman of her half-brother; She was kind to him, and now she ignored Lee Seok-ri's existence. even trampled all of Li Xili's emotions under his feet.
Yes, she is such a person, and in her eyes, there are only two kinds of people: useful and useless. And this woman is in Xingqing Mansion not far away, enjoying the pleasure brought to her by Qian Quan. She is Liang Luoyao, the queen of the Western Xia Dynasty.
At this time, Liang Luoyao of the Liang family was sitting in the Funing Hall in the imperial city of Xingqing Mansion, and a maid brought over a month-old baby, and this sleeping baby was the prince born to the Liang family. She looked at the baby in the maid's arms and smiled slightly. He reached out and touched the child's face, then waved his hand and motioned for the maid to carry the baby back to the prince's bedroom.
"Prince" and "son", for this sleeping Li Bingchang in swaddling clothes, her mother prefers to give her child the identity of the former.
When Liang saw the maid go out, the smile on her face gradually receded, and she walked to the bookcase, on which were placed exquisite pen washes, gorgeous pen holders, hand-refined inkstones, and separate visits for reading and unreading, secret letters. There are also a number of official and private tabloids.
She took out a secret letter, opened the wax seal with her fingers like green onions, and said: Xia Yizong Li Liangzuo was still on the way to Xiliang Mansion at this time, Liang Luoyao read it, and put the letter in the Ding where the incense cake was burned. The stove of the burning incense cake makes this Funing Hall have a trace of warmth and a faint fragrance.
When her brother Liang Yi was buried, he asked to see the queen and was allowed to enter the Funing Palace, his queen sister Liang Luoyao was giving instructions on those twists and turns. Seeing Liang Yi buried in, Liang Luoyao put down the pen in his hand.
Liang Yi buried himself in the queen, and Liang Luoyao retreated to the maid in the palace: "Brother, sit down and talk." Luo Yao's tone was very calm, Liang Yibury took out a copy of "Cloud Pick" from his arms and handed it over with both hands, then sat on the side, and asked: "I only learned recently that Li Xili went to the Song Kingdom and invited that king to come, does the queen know about this?" He had a slight question, but he didn't dare to say the slightest reproach in his tone.
Liang Luoyao looked at the "Cloud Pick" in his hand, this Cloud Pick will only come once a month, and it was all brought by Liang Yiburi from Yanzhou and sent to the palace for a copy. The Liang family was originally Han Chinese, and their brother and sister admired the culture of the Great Song Dynasty very much, and since the reign of Li Yuanhao, the official positions in the palace have been set up as the Han feudal system, and even this imperial palace has followed the name of the Han people.
She heard Liang Yi's question: "Has my brother also heard of this person next to the king?" This man has a clever mind, and I'd love to meet him. Liang Luoyao didn't directly answer Liang Yiburi's words, but hearing Liang Luoyao say this, Liang Yibury couldn't ask anymore.
Of course, Liang Yi will not tell others about being caught by the king when he was in Kaifeng Mansion. The fact that a child who was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time was a bit of a shame.
He coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "Sister, I discussed the matter with Da Song about the field, but there is no result yet, there has been no reply from there, and now Qingyan can't get by, what does the emperor think about this matter." ”
Luo Yao flipped through the clouds, and the clouds were lined with more than a dozen pages, like a book, but they were thinner than the book, and it was enough to read for a while: she said in a tucked tone, "That emperor, he only knows how to use force and spoil concubines every day, brother, do you ask him what he thinks?" ”
Liang Yibury knew that although Liang Luoyao was resentful now, what his sister said was also reasonable, and he asked respectfully: "What does my sister think about this?" ”
Liang Luoyao smiled: "What is this, as long as the green salt is cheap enough, there will be people who make profits to do it privately." Our green salt is naturally much better than the rock salt near Nayan Prefecture, not to mention the small profits and quick turnover. You go and arrange the third division, supervise the release of some warehouse salt, and smash the price lower. I don't believe that green salt can still be piled up in my hands. ”
Liang Yibury heard Liang Luoyao say this, so he said with a smile on his face: "What my sister said is very true, I will do it when I go back." ”
The two talked about how to pay tribute to the Liao State, and talked about state affairs. Liang Luoyao looked at the cloud pick in his hand and said, it's a pity that my brother didn't pass the exam when he went to catch the exam, you see that even women in this Song Kingdom are literate.
Liang Yibury cleared her throat again, her sister seemed to say that he was not even as good as a woman. said with an embarrassed face: "I didn't win because of the article, and it wasn't for your sister." ”
Liang Luoyao glanced at his brother and smiled: "You are not much stronger than in Song State High School now, at least my brother is now a national teacher, under one person, above ten thousand." ”
Liang Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand, gestured to two and said, "Two, two." My sister is naturally above me."
He is really very two, how can a mountain accommodate two tigers, connivance is a male and a female. But when it comes to power, it's not that simple, especially Liang Luoyao is resenting Li Liangzuo in his heart, after saying this, seeing Liang Luoyao put away his smile, he sighed and said: "If the emperor continues to be so arrogant, I'm afraid that my brother will be under three or four." ”
Liang Yi patted his chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, the brother has arranged for the harem, and they are all hens who can't lay eggs." Mother is more expensive than son, and sister can rest assured to sit as your queen. ”
Liang Luoyao smiled: "You are a national teacher of the Xia Kingdom, why can't you speak so vulgarly." Liang Yibury is also happy, he is happy that he can make his sister happy, but whether it is from the perspective of brother and sister, or the understanding of his sister, he will not make the queen unhappy.
"This woman is talented, but it's a pity that ......" Liang Luoyao pointed to a poem on the cloud. Liang Yi leaned over, and when he looked at it, he vaguely knew which article Liang Luoyao was talking about, and Liang Yi buried it several times when he got "Cloud Picking". Liang Luoyao said a poem by Mrs. Wei:
Linjiang Immortal
The courtyard is deep and deep, and the cloud window fog pavilion is late in spring. For whom is haggard and devastated Fangzi. If you come to sleep at night, it should be a southern branch.
The jade thin sandalwood is light and infinitely hateful, and the Qiang pipe in the south building is blown. Who knows if the fragrance blows. The warm breeze is late, don't go to the apricot blossom fertilizer.
Liang Yibury asked, "Isn't it that my sister feels that the words are not well chosen?" I don't know what my sister means by saying pity? ”
Liang Luoyao sighed: "It's a pity that the affection is earnest, and the artistic conception is enough, but it seems to be a deep resentful woman, but it's a pity that she is talented." ”
Liang Yibury heard Liang Luoyao say this, and knew that the opportunity to pat himself on the back was coming, and then said: "How many women can be like my sister who understands righteousness and has the tendency to not let women shave their eyebrows." ”
Liang Luoyao likes to hear this, but she is also a little numb when she hears it, so she said: "Among the women, I like the sisters under the moon, and I want to tell my brother that day." If it weren't for the emperor's heart, I would really be reluctant to let her go. ”
Liang Yi frowned: "Sister, do you know that you are married this month?" ”
"Oh" Liang Luoyao was interested, for the first time in the past half a day, she raised her head and didn't keep looking at the cloud pick in her hand. "Who are you marrying?"
Liang Yi buried and chased Yuexia that day, but he really wanted to kill Yuexia, Yuexia knew too many things, but he also heard about the marriage next to the king. Sending someone to find out that the bride was Liang Yuexia, and she hated and itched in her heart. "It's the king you admire." He pointed to "Cloud Pick".
This Xia Yao is more interested in the king, especially the wedding banquet next to the king, which is unique. Thinking that even if he became the queen, he was just having an affair with Li Liangzuo, and he entered the palace directly, and he didn't officially marry. There is some envy in my heart, and only women have fantasies.
Liang Yi buried that Luo Yao was a little distracted, so he said: "It's good to marry under the moon, but it's not as good as my sister to marry." If it weren't for the fact that my sister chose the right choice between Li Xili and Wuzang back then, and later understood the righteousness, how could she become the queen now. ”
Luo Yao frowned when she heard this, whether her brother was praising himself or scolding himself. She said faintly: "That Li Xili's personality is too similar to his eldest brother Li Ningming, and it is difficult to be atmospheric." ”
"Then why does my sister keep this person?" Liang Yi buried doubts in his heart.
"What's the matter, the name can be said to be good, you and I are both relatives, if one day the emperor has a bad pool, the prince is still young. There has to be a name. Although Luo Yao's words were vague, Liang Yibury had already understood what his sister meant. He also knew that Li Xili's personality was indeed very similar to Li Ningming.
In the first year of the Heavenly Rite Law Yanzuo (1038), Li Yuanhao was proclaimed emperor, and Liye Lishi was the empress of Xiancheng. Empress Yeli had three sons, the eldest son was Li Ningming, who was made the crown prince in the same year. The crown prince Li Ning knows that he is studious and understands righteousness, but his personality is incompatible with his father. The prince was benevolent by nature, did not like glory and wealth, believed in Taoism and fantasized about becoming an immortal with it.
Li Yuanhao once asked what is "the way to govern the country?" Li Ningming replied: "Don't be good at having little desire. Li Yuanhao was furious and scolded: "You kid doesn't speak decently, and you're not a talent for hegemony." I didn't like him very much, and ordered the prince not to see him.
The prince didn't care, and simply concentrated on learning qigong. After going mad, he was angry and couldn't eat and died. Before dying, the benevolent prince left his last words, saying that the people in the world were living in poverty, and hoped that he would only wear a white robe and be buried after his death, so as to make up for his failure to bear the sin of comforting the people of the world for his parents. Yuan Hao was also quite sad when he saw his son's suicide note, and ordered a grand funeral for him according to the prince's specifications, and renamed Li Ningming's younger brother and Empress Yeli's second son Ning Lingge as the crown prince.
And after Brother Ning Lingli was framed and died by Wuzang, Li Xili watched that his two brothers and biological mother died, even if Li Xili's personality was similar to Li Ningming, he would be touched and think about what he should do.
