Chapter 352: Taizhen is in trouble

readx; 'Whoosh! With a soft sound, a golden arrow was thrown high, and a red trail was cut in the air, and the sun shone on the golden arrow, which was particularly dazzling, and when the arrow fell, the luster began to fade, 'Boom! There was a crisp sound, and the golden arrow was thrown into the thin-necked copper kettle in a slightly lonely way. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother, let's go!"

One maid slapped her face with joy, and another maid ran forward, took out the golden arrow from the copper kettle, handed it and said with a smile: "Niangniang, five arrows are in four zhang, we can try five zhang." ”

A few steps away, Yang Yuhuan sat on an embroidered pier, took out a sweat towel and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, nearly half a year of her monastic career has made her clear a lot, but her appearance is still beautiful, not affected by the years at all, every day she plays the piano and hits the chime, or throws golden arrows, and lives a plain life, although she is still a concubine, nominally the head of the six palaces, but she no longer cares about the big and small affairs that happen in the palace, and now Daming Palace is the world of Wu Xianyi, and her eyeliner is everywhere, Concubine Mei was favored only for a time, she couldn't compete with Wu Xianyi, just like the plum blossoms in March, it disappeared, only Yang Yuhuan's Taizhen Guan Wu Xianyi couldn't intervene, but she was still full of henchmen and palace maids near Taizhen Temple, always monitoring Yang Yuhuan's external movements.

But Yang Yuhuan no longer cares about all this, her heart is as calm as water, ready to spend the second half of her life peacefully in the Taizhen Temple, today the sun is shining, Yang Yuhuan who has been in the view for a long time is very thoughtful, so he came to the small courtyard behind the Taizhen Temple to throw the golden arrow, Yang Yuhuan Bingxue is smart, although Li Qingan only taught her less than two hours, but she has mastered the essentials of throwing arrows, chest and hips, holding the two inches of the golden arrow, find the best feel, and then throw the arrow, the essentials She is already very familiar with, The rest is practice again and again, and Yang Yuhuan's throwing distance has gradually changed from one zhang away to three zhang, and now four zhang away.

"Niangniang, let's try five zhang away again!" Her maid, Ice Slave, suggested.

The henchmen in Yang Yuhuan's palace have been eliminated by Wu Xianyi under various excuses, and now there are only two personal maids left, one is called Bingnu and the other is called Xuenu, both of whom have followed her for many years and are loyal to her, Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "No, I'm a little tired, I'm getting older, and I don't have the physical strength I had when I was young." ”

Bing Nu said a little sadly: "Niangniang is only in her thirties, where is she old?" ”

The snow slave next to him also persuaded: "Niangniang, you just bow your head to the saint!" As long as you are willing to bow your head, the Holy One will definitely be able to forgive you, and you will be favored again, and you will not live this kind of bitter life again. ”

Yang Yuhuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm not wrong, why should I bow my head, what does it matter if he forgives me or not?" People have been in this life for decades, and it has passed in a blink of an eye, and I have been very tired for more than ten years, so what's wrong with quietly cultivating my surname here? At least I don't have to force my face every day. ”

Bing Nu sighed and said: "If Niangniang marries into an ordinary family, has a husband who loves her, and has children who are filial, where is it like now, once you enter the palace gate and go deep into the sea, when will it be the beginning?" ”

At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly came from behind them: "Niangniang, pay attention to proportions when speaking!" ”

The three of them turned around, only to see a few eunuchs standing in front of the steps, with their hands behind their backs, with a cold attitude, the one who spoke just now was a thin and tall eunuch, named Wen Jinzhong, who was one of the six chief managers of the Daming Palace just promoted by Wu Xianyi, in charge of food offerings, he said coldly with his hands behind his back: "Wu Niangniang asked me to ask, is there any need for Guifei Niangniang here?" ”

Taizhen Temple is Yang Yuhuan's private forbidden place, never allow any palace people to step in, this is a well-known rule in the palace, usually to send items are placed at the door, today there are eunuchs who dare to come in, and it is trespassing, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but be furious, pointed outside and angrily reprimanded: "You give me out!" ”

"Niangniang, Wu Niangniang is a piece of good intentions, don't you don't know what to do."

"Get out! Get out! ”

Yang Yuhuan was so hateful that her eyes erupted with fire, she picked up the golden arrow and rushed towards several eunuchs, "This palace killed you dog minions!" ”

Several eunuchs were so frightened that they turned around and fled, Wen Jinzhong ran a little slower, and was stuck in his left shoulder by Yang Yuhuan with an arrow, so painful that he screamed, covered his shoulder, stumbled and fled outside the view, Yang Yuhuan saw that they had fled away, so he said hatefully: "Close the gate, no one is allowed to come in again!" ”

....... Wen Jinzhong stumbled all the way back to Wu Xianyi's inner palace, Yang Yuhuan is a weak woman after all, and the golden arrow is not sharp, so although Wen Jinzhong was poked a little skin, it was actually fine, despite this, Wen Jinzhong still cried and screamed, as if he was about to die.

"Mother, save me!"

He ran out of breath, knelt in front of Wu Xianyi all of a sudden, and shouted with a crying voice: "Niangniang, the slave is going to die, save me!" ”

Wu Xianyi was sitting in front of the couch drinking a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and was startled by Wen Jinzhong's sudden incoming, she put the jade bowl on the table, and said unhappily: "What's the matter, such a fuss, where are you going to die?" ”

"Minions.... The slave was stabbed by the concubine Niangniang. ”

Wen Jinzhong touched his shoulder, only to feel wet and sticky, and it hurt hotly, "There is blood!" Mother, the slave is dying. ”

"Shut up!" Wu Xianyi scolded angrily: "Don't be embarrassed and conspicuous for me anymore." ”

"Yes! Be! Wen Jinzhong didn't dare to shout again, Wu Xianyi walked behind him with his hands behind his back and looked at it, and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just that the skin is broken a little bit, and some medicine is needed." ”

Wu Xianyi was concerned about Yang Yuhuan's situation, and she asked coldly, "How is she now?" ”

Wen Jinzhong hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "When the servants went, they didn't find me, I heard it clearly, she complained a lot about the saint, and her maid also encouraged her to marry someone else." ”

Wen Jinzhong told the original story of what he had just heard and saw, and finally said: "The slave can hear it clearly, and he dares to vouch for it with his head, and there is no lie." ”

Wu Xianyi squinted her eyes and smiled, smiling very proudly, Yang Yuhuan finally had a handle in her hand, she nodded, and praised Wen Jinzhong: "You have done a good job, this palace will reward you with a hundred yuan, go and recuperate your injuries!" ”

"Thank you for the reward!" Wen Jinzhong went to collect the money with infinite joy.

Wu Xianyi snorted and turned to Li Longji's quiet room.

...... In Daming Palace, Wu Xianyi's qualifications are far older than Yang Yuhuan, and her aunt is Li Longji's favorite concubine, Concubine Wu Hui, and she also got one. Xiao Wufei's nickname, she has Wu Zetian's blood, so she is also extraordinarily tough in the palace, she was once pampered by Li Longji, gave birth to several children for him, but most of them died, and since Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, Wu Xianyi, like all the concubines, lost the favor of the Tang Emperor, so lonely After ten years, she got a golden opportunity, Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji had a conflict, she seized this fleeting opportunity, step by step to expand the results, and actually re-pinched Li Longji's heart firmly in her hands。

At first, she was low-key and forbearing, not daring to be too arrogant, but since Yang Yuhuan entered the Taizhen Temple, she immediately showed a hideous face, replaced the main eunuchs and palace maids up and down the palace in Daming Palace, and drove away all the palace people who were loyal to Yang Yuhuan, but this is not enough, Yang Yuhuan is still in Daming Palace, Li Longji and her old relationship will rekindle at any time, she must completely cut off Yang Yuhuan's hope, for several months, she has been patiently waiting for the opportunity, and now, the opportunity is here, the opportunity is not only Yang Yuhuan's gaffe, At the same time, because Li Longji has been in an abnormal mood and has a particularly manic temper in the past few days, this makes Wu Xianyi feel that it is an opportunity, so today she specially sent Wen Jinzhong to spy on Yang Yuhuan's situation.

Wu Xianyi walked quickly across a white jade bridge, and then came to Li Longji's meditation hall, and the guards at the door were about to report it, but Wu Xianyi waved his hand and asked, "How is the saint?" ”

The guard whispered, "It's quiet today, the imperial doctor said that the saint can't be stimulated anymore." ”

"I see, I'll go see him!" Wu Xianyi walked briskly towards the palace.

...... In a quiet room in the meditation hall, Li Longji stood in front of the window with his back bent, he looked at a few pomegranates in the distance, his mood today has calmed down a lot, four days ago he got the news that An Sishun rejected the edict to dismiss him Shuo Fang Jie Du envoy, to a certain extent, this is to support the army and stand on its own, even Li Qingan did not dare to take this step, but An Sishun walked out, this news made the violent beast in Li Longji's heart was released, and the indulgence and drug abuse in the past few years destroyed his body and mind, He lost the proper nourishment of an emperor, hysterically yelling, beating, and killing people in the palace, as if setting off a storm in Daming Palace, everyone was scared and trembling, they were like small trees under the storm, there was a danger of death at any time, and even Wu Xianyi did not dare to come to see him.

Fortunately, Li Longji finally locked himself in the meditation hall, did not eat or drink, and did not allow anyone to enter the meditation hall for a single step, and it was not until yesterday afternoon that Li Longji resumed his diet.

A few days of mental torture made Li Longji haggard, as if he was a few years older, for normal people, when he suffered a major setback, he often reflected and looked for the crux of his mistakes, but for Li Longji is no longer the case, his way of thinking began to be different from ordinary people, he not only did not realize the radical nature of his own cutting of the domain, but thought that he was usually too weak, too accommodating to these moderations, so they did not put their will in their eyes at all, he was thinking quietly, He needs to take some tough measures, he wants to make everyone in the world tremble under his imperial power.

Li Longji's fists slowly clenched, and instead of looking back and reflecting, he went farther and farther down the wrong path.

At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the quiet room, followed by Wu Xianyi's voice, "Your Majesty, can the concubine come in?" ”

"You can come in!"

The door opened, Wu Xianyi walked in from the outside, to be fair, Wu Xianyi is also a beautiful woman, she is nearly forty this year, but she still looks like a beauty in her twenties, she especially likes to wear a green dress, the green skirt sets off her white skin, just like a new leaf in April.

At some point, the only thing that could soothe Li Longji's inner anxiety was not Wu Xianyi, but Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan was like spring rain, moisturizing Li Longji's lonely and old heart finely, but now, Wu Xianyi no longer gave Yang Yuhuan this opportunity, when Yang Yuhuan failed to keep up with Li Longji's mental journey, he gave Wu Xianyi, who had been watching in the shadows, a chance, she appeared right next to Li Longji and ruthlessly locked Yang Yuhuan out of the door.

Her appearance is second only to Yang Yuhuan and Concubine Mei, but her scheming is beyond the reach of the first two people, Yang Yuhuan is honest and kind, Concubine Mei is lonely and self-admiring, while Wu Xianyi's scheming and city government are deeper than the sea and more ruthless than poisonous snakes.

She is like a very good cattle, and Li Longji is the cow under her knife, any subtle changes in Li Longji's heart are clearly understood by her, and she knows how to achieve her goal.

She slowly walked to Li Longji's side, gently held his arm, and said softly, "Your Majesty is feeling better?" ”

"I feel much better, I've been in a bad mood for the past two days, and I've made my concubine suffer."

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!"

Li Longji glanced at her and said strangely, "What's the crime of the concubine?" ”

"The concubine did not serve His Majesty well, the concubine is useless, and the concubine begs Your Majesty to forgive Yuhuan and let her serve Your Majesty."

"She?" Li Longji sneered, "When she bows her head to me, I won't believe that I can't clean her up!" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine thinks that it is not Yuhuan that has a problem, she is an honest person, and she also has feelings with Your Majesty, and the concubine thinks that it is the people around her who are instigating her to resist Your Majesty."

"Did Concubine Ai hear anything?"

"The concubine doesn't dare to bother Your Majesty with this little thing."

"Say!" Li Longji's face was gloomy, "You are not allowed to hide anything." ”

Wu Xianyi was helpless, so she had to sigh and said: "The concubine sent a eunuch to visit Yuhuan today, and the eunuch overheard a maid named Bingnu saying to Yuhuan that if Yuhuan marries into an ordinary family, she will have a husband who loves her, and she will not suffer so much." ”

"Really?" Li Longji asked coldly.

"The concubines don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, and they don't dare to make up lies, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can confront it face to face."

"No more confrontation!"

Li Longji suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Someone! ”

A few guards ran in from outside, and Li Longji ordered word by word: "Go to Taizhenguan immediately, and beat the maid called Bing Nu to me with a stick!" ”

"Yes!" Several guards galloped away.

Wu Xianyi's face changed color, and she exclaimed: "Your Majesty, spare her life!" The concubines are just talking. ”

She knelt down and begged: "If you let the concubine know that I said something wrong, she won't spare me, Your Majesty, the concubine is the head of the six palaces!" Please spare that maid! ”

"She has become a monk, and from now on, she is no longer the head of the six palaces."

Li Longji turned around and walked outside the hall, "Pass the driver, I want to go to the imperial study." ”

Wu Xianyi looked at Li Longji's back and walked away, she couldn't help but laugh sinisterly, killed Yang Yuhuan's personal maid, is Yang Yuhuan still possible to come to him?

......... Li Longji came to the imperial study, he sat down and asked, "What are the major events in the past few days?" ”

Yu Chaoen next to him immediately replied respectfully: "This morning, Yang Xiangguo came to His Majesty twice, saying that there was an urgent matter to report to His Majesty, and he has been waiting outside the palace. ”

"Call him to me at once!"

After a while, a eunuch walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine has a letter to Your Majesty." ”

"Where is the faith?"

The eunuch presented a plain note, and Li Longji unfolded it, only to see that it was messily written: 'Let me go out of the palace, I will go to Yuquan to view the Tao, and I don't want to stay in this bloody murderous palace for a moment!' ’

If it was in the past, Li Longji would definitely be so frightened that he would run to coax and persuade him, begging Yang Yuhuan to change his mind, but now Li Longji can no longer be measured by the heart of ordinary people, and more importantly, his heart for Yang Yuhuan has also faded, and the anger he had just calmed down ignited again, and the boiling fire instantly swallowed his reason.

'Brush! Brush! With a few clicks, he tore the note to shreds and threw it into the air, roaring and shouting, "Let her go!" Get out of my Daming Palace, and you are not allowed to enter the palace again. ”

Yu Chaoen and the other eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty is angry!" Your Majesty, take care of the dragon! ”

Li Longji relieved in one breath, he felt that he was deeply hurt, Yang Yuhuan actually called Daming Palace a palace of bloody killing, he couldn't forgive her no matter what, even if she came to beg him, he would never forgive!

At this time, Yang Guozhong stumbled in and cried: "Your Majesty, spare the concubine!" Spare her! ”

Yang Guozhong was extremely afraid, once Yang Yuhuan was kicked out of Daming Palace, the last hope of their Yang family would be cut off, he kowtowed, spoke incoherently, and only begged Li Longji to spare Yang Yuhuan one more time.

Li Longji waved his hand very tiredly and said, "You stand up first, you are the right minister, don't follow the example of a child." ”

"Yes!" Yang Guozhong stood up, so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

Li Longji sighed and said: "Yang Aiqing, Yuhuan is my family affair, you are my official business, I will not confuse the two, and I will not remove your phase because of this, so you don't have to say more." ”

After a pause, Li Longji said again: "Yuhuan is a monk in the palace, and she is also a monk outside, there is no difference, you are her brother, take care of her more!" ”

"Obey the order!" Yang Guozhong saw that it was irretrievable, so he had to reluctantly agree.

At this time, Li Longji took a sip of tea and asked, "Say it!" Do you have any urgent matters to report to me? ”

Yang Guozhong suddenly thought of the right thing, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Hui Khan sent a special envoy to Beijing, and they promised to withdraw the army, but they must discuss the conditions for the withdrawal with Your Majesty." ”

"Really?" This news was a bit unexpected by Li Longji, and he sneered and said, "They softened quite quickly. ”

Yang Guozhong also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and several other ministers all thought that Hui Hui actually had the intention of retiring from the army, and just wanted to extort the property of the Tang Dynasty, so he came to negotiate. ”

Li Longji was a little distracted, he didn't care much about the southern invasion of the Hui people from beginning to end, he only cared about using the southern invasion of the Hui people to cut off the military power of An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, and now An Sishun dared to resist and disobey the order, it is estimated that Guo Ziyi and King Bian will not be able to take him, only to take him away in person, at that time to see what else he has to say, at this moment, Li Longji just wants to rush to Shuofang, want to see An Sishun's desperate appearance, this idea is so strong that he does not consider the distance between Shuofang and Chang'an at all.

Thinking of this, Li Longji said lightly: "I don't want to meet this envoy, I plan to go to Shuofang and negotiate with Gele Khan in person." ”

......... On the tenth day of the fourth month of the twelfth year of Tianbao, Li Longji made a decision that stunned everyone, he would go out to patrol Shuofang, and personally go to negotiate with the Hui Gol Khan, although the hundred officials strongly opposed him leaving Beijing to go out of the patrol, but Li Longji had already made up his mind, he urgently ordered Hedong Jiedu to make Li Wan lead 50,000 Hedong troops to cross the Yellow River, rushed to Shuofang to escort, and ordered Chen Xuanli, the general of the Yulin Army, to lead 80,000 Guanzhong troops to accompany him, at this time, the changes in Longyou had not yet reached Chang'an, Li Longji counted Li Xuan's 70,000 troops, In this way, a total of 200,000 troops were escorted, which was enough to crush An Sishun.
