Although the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are no longer there, it does not mean that the successive emperors of Persia did not continue to enjoy them, and in Ctesiphon's harem, an incomparably huge garden towers there, with moon-shaped curved lakes, stepped flower beds of various colors, and hidden pipes buried in the ground to irrigate flowers and plants everywhere.

After the Great Min took over here, it was greatly repaired, filled with the water of the Tigris River and dried up the lake due to desertion, and transplanted the exotic flowers and plants from all over the envoys here, in June, it is the season when the flowers and plants are fragrant, the warbler flies and the grass grows, the whole garden is colorful and fragrant, and there are gorgeous gardens everywhere.

However, sitting in such a big garden that any woman in the world would be crazy about, one of its hostesses seemed unhappy, sitting in the long pavilion near the water, the coupling-colored skirt reflected on the lotus flower, holding the cheeks, Li Chenxi looked at his beautiful image blankly.

Dozens of steps away, dragging a long black skirt into the garden, seeing this scene, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, Wu Meiniang walked to Li Chenxi's side, and sat down gently, but Li Chenxi didn't seem to see her mother's arrival, she still looked at the lake in a daze, and for a while, Wu Meiniang reluctantly opened her mouth first, frowning and calling softly.

"Dawn ......"

"I have a lot of power, and it's strange that the high-ranking mother still has time to come to the garden to enjoy the flowers!"

didn't turn her head back, Li Chenxi's sarcastic words made Wu Meiniang couldn't help frowning deeper, and a trace of anger climbed up her face, but looking at Li Chenxi's poignant figure, Wu Meiniang's anger disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I suppressed Song Jing's case first."

These words finally made Li Chenxi react, and she turned her face in surprise, and there was a little surprise on her cheeks, but then Wu Meiniang's words made her cheeks quickly become gloomy, and even a little distorted.

"Recently, Lu Dongzan, the lord of the Tubo country, once again courted me from Damin, he, he wants to marry you......"

"So you want me to marry that vulgar and coarse barbarian chief to be his little wife?"

The surprise quickly turned into a sneer, and Li Chenxi looked at Wu Meiniang's cheeks with a cold gaze as if she were a stranger.

"You have never cared about me since I was a child, even when I have chills and acne, you have never come to see me, it was Aunt Hou who brought me up, and now, you want to sell me again!"

It had reached the level of hysteria, Li Chenxi was furious like a crazy female leopard, and roared at Wu Meiniang in great anger: "Impossible! If you want to marry, you can marry yourself, I would rather die than marry to the wild land of Tibet! ”

Saying that, lifting the corner of her skirt, with tears hanging from the corner of her eyes, Li Chenxi ran wildly outside the imperial garden, looking at her back, Wu Meiniang sighed deeply for the third time.

"It's okay not to marry, then you need to encourage Li Rang's Hezhong army to return to defense, go to fight with the Tubo army, and before you let your brother, you must let his wishes be satisfied."

"He wants to kill Song Jing, with the heart of the police!"

Li Chenxi's running footsteps stopped there.

After a while, she turned her head with a miserable and resentful face, stared at Wu Meiniang more coldly, and asked hoarsely.

"You're threatening me?"

I didn't want to make the relationship between mother and daughter so stiff, but when it came to this, Wu Meiniang had no choice, looked directly into Li Chenxi's eyes, and calmly narrated.

"I'm just telling a fact."

"Of course, you can also go to Seleucia now to persuade your father to issue a decree to pardon Song Jing and refuse to marry Tubo, there are still twenty-six days, which should be enough to run back and forth. As long as you can convince my father, who has been fighting on both sides and is working hard for my Damin! ”

Li Chenxi fell into a violent contradiction again, her delicate cheeks were uncertain, on the one hand, her own happiness, on the other hand, the life of her best friend, her delicate fists were sometimes clenched, sometimes loosened, after all, Li Chenxi still hung her head in despair.

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang's heart was also chaotic and countless complicated thoughts emerged, but it was certain that there was no joy, and finally sighed, or looked directly into Li Chenxi's eyes, Wu Meiniang said very sincerely.

"Chenxi, believe me, if it weren't for the lack of choice, I wouldn't have married you to that wild land in Tibet!"

When she said these words, Wu Meiniang was from the bottom of her heart, and it also involved the pain in her heart, but unfortunately, at this time, there were no words that could move Li Chenxi, her face was cold, her words were so cold that she was cold, and she shook her head with a sneer.

"I can promise to make peace, but before I make peace, I must see the pardon for Song Jing, stamp the positive seal of Fengge Luantai, and send it to the king of Hezhong County!"

Obviously, Li Chenxi didn't believe Wu Meiniang anymore, but Wu Meiniang didn't have the heart to argue anymore, and nodded directly.

"I can directly ask Song Jing to come to Tessiphon, and seek an official position for him to see for yourself."

These words made Li Chenxi stunned, but for just a moment, she shook her head heavily: "No! Don't let him come! Absolutely not let him come! ”

"Let Yao Chong come, let him bring back the edict of pardon."

has never been so easy to speak, Wu Meiniang nodded kindly: "It's up to you."

"Now you go, I'm going to be quiet."

After speaking, lifting the corner of her skirt, Li Chenxi returned to the waterside pavilion again, quietly looked at the lake, looked at her back, and wanted to say something, but in the end, Wu Meiniang swallowed these words back and walked back silently.

But in the end, it was the famous Iron Lady in history, when she sat on the dragon seat of the imperial study again, all emotions seemed to be blocked by Wu Meiniang, full of seriousness, and she picked up the lake pen, stained with the ink with golden sand, like a dragon dancing sword, and wrote a blank holy decree for a while, Wu Meiniang closed the holy decree coldly, and knocked the golden bell on the table casually.

"Immediately send this holy decree to the province to execute, order Honglu Temple, Zongzheng Temple to prepare the bride price of harmony, Zheng Cai, the director of the Ministry of Rites, as the ambassador of the peace and pro-Xuanfu, go to Hengros City first, and discuss peace matters with the lord of Tubo, Xiao Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, return to Beijing, and in addition, order the Ministry of War to mention that the prince Li Jin's department will stop in the Hindu Kush Mountains, and not go north to stimulate Tibet."

A series of orders, so that the secretary who came in hurriedly wrote in detail on the wat board, only then held the holy decree in both hands, and went out in a cold sweat, and Wu Meiniang herself was left in the entire imperial study, as if all the fatigue was overflowing, so that Wu Meiniang leaned on the dragon seat tiredly, and after a while, she gently knocked the golden bell on the table, and waited for the eunuch of the little yellow door who came in and knelt on the ground, and ordered tiredly.

"Go to Dubai Harbor to pass the decree, order the king of Hezhong County not to kill defeated generals without permission, and transfer the capital protector Yao Chong to enter Beijing as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!"

I have never seen such a weak side of the lord I serve, kneeling on the ground to receive the order, the eunuch's legs are trembling, last time, his predecessor disappeared so inexplicably, even if he agreed, he lowered his head, the little eunuch was afraid that if he looked at it more, he would follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.

sent away the little eunuch, but this time, Wu Meiniang was finally a little more relaxed.

The order came from the imperial study, and in less than a few quarters of an hour, at the east gate of Taixifeng under the high efficiency of Damin, a large group of messengers wearing black cloaks behind their backs, and the leather armor on their bodies had no luster at all, and the black messengers who seemed to be from hell were quickly gathered there, took the bamboo letterhead from the hands of the chief officer, and immediately rushed to embark on the journey.

A few days later, in the Hindu Kush mountains, Mulucheng military camp.

With a click, the bamboo tube was slammed to the ground and cracked into several petals, crumpling the order from the military department in his hand and throwing it out, Li Jin roared viciously from his remaining anger.

"To exchange my sister for peace is a traitor! I founded the country by force, when was I so that I was forced to send my daughter to the door. ”

pinching the table of the Chinese army and gurgling, and scolding a lot, Li Jin still squeezed out a few words from the root of his teeth with a lingering anger.

"Shameful !!"

It's no wonder that Li Jin is so angry, unlike the nerdy Li Rang, he and Li Chenxi have always been friendly and intimate, and a while ago, Li Jin's exploits were all stepped on Tubo, and now Tubo has a salted fish and turned over, like a slap in the face, which made Li Jin feel ashamed.

For this reason, after obtaining the authorization of the Ministry of War, he almost sleeplessly led the Fujian King Tielin to join the noble team of the Beijing Division, rushed to the Punjab Road in the starry night, personally urged the various Zhechong Mansions to send troops, and finally gathered 30,000 armor soldiers, and immediately went through the Hindu Kush Mountains to fight against Tubo, and received a message from Wu Meiniang that he was not allowed to go north.

This anger is suffocating, you can imagine it.

The prince was angry, his subordinates were like Linghu Xuan, the eldest grandson Fu and others all hung their heads in interest, without saying a word, but there was a stunned Qing Guangping Lieutenant Cheng Boxian still hugged his fist and asked: "Prince, that Tubo is still not fighting, the cavalry of the last general has been out of Zhongping Pass for half a day, and it would be a pity not to cut off a few heads and come back!"

Who doesn't know that it's a pity, these words are being sprinkled on Li Jin's wounds, and he is even more angry, Li Jin waved his sleeves and roared angrily.

"Pity? Good! Cheng Boxian, you should immediately take your cavalry out of the customs to Hengros City and cut off his head Mangsong Mangzan! If you can't cut it down, you can bring it up yourself! ”

As he spoke, he angrily threw his sleeves, and as soon as Li Jin turned around, he turned out to be out of the tent.

This time Cheng Boxian is dumbfounded, he is a fool, but he is not a fool, he has only five or six hundred cavalry under his command, go to the center of the 110,000 Tubo army to cut off their Zampu's head, and go to death by himself It's almost the same, crying and mourning, this guy turned his head pitifully, but unfortunately, Changsun Fu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and Ling Huqian was gloating grinning, and the angry fool was a big white eye.

On the other hand, without even writing an official reply to Tessifon, Li Jin rushed back to the tent angrily and sat on Xuanhuhu's soft couch.

However, just when he was angry, a soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded in the tent.

"Why is Zanjun so angry, let's talk about it with the concubine."
