Just when Yang Yuanqing inspected the battlefields of Jingcheng and Mayi, Xie Sili was also ordered to come to Yuzhang County, and at night, a carriage stopped in front of Yuzhang Palace.

Nanliang Xiangguo Cen Wenwen accompanied Xie Sili out of the carriage and glanced at this so-called palace, he couldn't help but shake his head, where does this look like a palace?

Cen Wenwen smiled bitterly and said: "This is indeed not like the imperial palace, I originally planned to build a Nanhua Palace, but there is no way, financial resources are tight, the warehouse is empty, and I can't afford it!" ”

"Are you going to be financially strained?" Xie Sili glanced at him and asked puzzled.

Cen Wenwen sighed, he didn't want to answer this question, so he stepped forward and said to the guard: "Quickly report to the saint, just say that there is a Sui envoy to see you." ”

The guards did not dare to slack off, and rushed towards the palace.

This Yuzhang Palace is the palace of Emperor Xiao Milling of Liang, but although it is called the palace, there is no momentum of the palace, it is like a palace, covering an area of no more than 100 acres, there is no majestic momentum of the northern palace, pavilions and pavilions, rockery pond fish, it seems that the pattern is very small.

In fact, Yuzhang Palace is a palace built by the queen of Chen, Xiao Milling since the defeat of Jingxiang, the strength has been greatly reduced, although defeating Lin Shihong, obtaining a large piece of land, but the people are not attached, the officials fled, and the famous families in the south could not hide from him, so that the large area of land occupied by Xiao Mill existed in name only.

The tax collection could not be raised, and the warehouse was empty, so that Xiao Mo could not afford to build a new palace city, and he had no financial resources to recruit troops, and his army has only kept 80,000 troops so far, and even if these 80,000 troops, he is almost unable to raise them.

During this time, Xiao Mi lived a very decadent life, since he and Du Fuwei joined forces and defeated Li Mi's westward expansion, Xiao Mi completely lost his self-motivation, and hid in Yuzhang Palace, chatting with more than a dozen beloved concubines, and living a life of drunken dreams and death.

Xiao Mi really has no confidence, the west is the powerful Tang Dynasty, and the east is the aggressive Li Mi. The Sui Dynasty has occupied the entire north, and it is even more proud of the world's heroes with a powerful attitude.

So much so that Li Xiaogong raised an army of 100,000 to attack Luoyang, and Jing Xiang did not have a single soldier. Xiao Mo also ignored this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He has completely lost his ambition to compete for the world, and he will enjoy himself as Emperor Liang for a day.

In a silent corridor, a young woman walked slowly with a teacup, looking preoccupied, tall and slender, with skin as white as fat and a nose as tall as jade. A pair of Danfeng's eyes were like a dream, with a faint sorrow.

Her name is Xiao Yuexian, she is Xiao Miao's only daughter and his only child, Xiao Yuexian is only twenty years old this year, and she was married to Dong Jingzhen's son Dong Lin by his father many years ago.

But just a month before getting married, Dong Jingzhen was killed by Xiao Mo on suspicion of rebellion, and the whole family was killed. Xiao Yuexian also became a widow, although Xiao Mo wanted to talk about her in-laws several times, even including Laixun, the eldest grandson of Laihu'er. But they were all rejected by Xiao Yuexian.

It's not that Xiao Yuexian has any feelings for Dong Lin, no one she has met at all, and she can't talk about feelings, but her father's various actions make her feel cold and make her feel scared, her father's failure is not defeated by Tang Jun at all, but defeated by his own unkindness.

She knew that sooner or later, her father would make a move on the family and let her marry the grandson of the family. It's not the same as being a widow, and as she expected, her father soon turned against Laihu'er, and Laihu'er finally left.

Xiao Yuexian walked quickly through the corridor and walked to a palace, and faintly she heard the sound of the yaoqin on the palace. Singing and dancing lightly, she sighed in her heart, what is the difference between her father and Hou Chen back then?

Xiao Yuexian walked into the palace, the palace was not big, but the layout was splendid, the walls were covered with gold leaf, the ground was made of white jade, and a thick carpet was laid.

A group of dancers are moving lightly, with long sleeves flying, with a graceful posture, and on either side are eighteen musicians, playing various musical instruments, and three singers are singing in a low voice, and the whole palace is filled with a kind of beautiful sound.

Xiao Yuexian frowned, she walked into the main hall, coughed lightly, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"All of you go down!"

Xiao Yuexian's voice is not loud, but it has a kind of majesty, Xiao Miao's wife died early, leaving only one daughter, although there is no shortage of women after he took charge of the South China Society, but he can no longer have children. There is only such a daughter under her knees, who regards her as a treasure, and after ascending the throne, she is named Princess Baoyue.

The dancing girls looked at each other, and they all looked at Xiao Mo together, Xiao Mo was half lying in the ivory dragon couch on the white jade steps, and he snuggled up to a fairy-like girl on the left and right, and her appearance was very similar, in fact, they were twin sisters, one was called Ni Dress, and the other was called Yu Yi.

The music and dancing stopped, and Xiao Mo saw that his daughter was a little unhappy, so he waved his hand, "You all stand down!" ”

The singers and dancers all retreated, and after a while, only the neon clothes and feather clothes sisters and the Xiao father and daughter were left in the hall, Xiao Yuexian glanced at the two daughters, these were his father's favorite two concubines, but Xiao Yuexian didn't like them very much, pestering his father all day long to have fun, but he never persuaded his father to think about national politics, she was the kind of daughter who lost the country.

"Stand down, too!" Xiao Yuexian said coldly to the two women.

The two sisters turned their heads at the same time, their mouths pouted slightly, ignoring her, Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed, so he had to coax the two girls and said, "You guys go to the bath first!" I'll be with you later. ”

The two girls stood up and walked away in a demonic manner, Xiao Yuexian saw that her two waists were about to break, she couldn't help but snort hatefully, and scolded in a low voice: "Demon girl! ”

"Moon Immortal—"

Xiao Mo stretched his voice unhappily, "Don't be so rude!" ”

"Father, you drink the medicine first!"

Xiao Yuexian put the teacup on the table, she touched the wall of the cup with the back of her hand, Xiumei frowned slightly, "It's a little warm, father, drink it!" ”

Xiao Mill accidentally vomited blood and fainted a month ago, and the imperial doctor diagnosed him with a lung problem, in fact, Xiao Mill knew that this was a chronic illness that he had when he was young, and this disease could not be drunk, but in recent months he has been a little drunk, so the chronic illness has recurred.

Xiao Mo picked up the teacup and drank the medicine slowly, and asked her daughter softly, "It seems that I am not in a good mood today, why?" ”

Xiao Yuexian sighed, "As long as my father cheers up and no longer approaches the wine, my mood will be fine." ”

"The question ......"

Xiao Mo waved his hand, and was about to continue, but Xiao Yuexian interrupted him, "Father should have also gotten the news, the Sui Dynasty defeated the Turks in Mayi County, and the people of the world were excited, and even the people of the Southern Liang Kingdom were lighting firecrackers to celebrate, and now the Sui Dynasty is shaking the world with momentum, but my father is still singing and dancing, don't you really think about it for the future?" ”

Xiao Mo was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed, "I'm thirty-seven this year, it's not a pity to die, the only thing I can't let go of is you, as long as you have a good home, what does it matter if I give him Yang Yuanqing in Nanliang?" ”

"Father!"

Xiao Yuexian's eyes turned red, and she knelt down in front of her father, "What if the father has three strengths and two weaknesses, leaving his daughter alone?" I will never let my father have any accidents, and I will live a long life. ”

Xiao Mill's nose was sour, he stroked his daughter's head lovingly, this was his only bloodline, how could he let her be alone, sighed, Xiao Mill said: "If you are a man, command the army for your father, and fight the world, how good would it be?" ”

Xiao Yuexian bit her lip and said: "Father, my daughter can protect my father, my daughter begs my father to send me to Taiyuan, I am willing to marry Yang Yuanqing and be his concubine, in exchange for her father's safety." ”

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, he suddenly reacted, and shook his head again and again, "No, you are the princess of Baoyue in Nanliang, how can you be a concubine, I will never agree, I want to marry you out of the scenery and be a famous wife, Yang Yuanqing's side, it's really not good, I will surrender him, forgive him and won't hurt me." ”

Xiao Yuexian thought about it for a long time, she knew that even if her father surrendered, he would only be appeased for a while, and after a year or two at most, he would die violently, and he would not have a good death, even if he was a mediocre king like Empress Chen, he would not escape death in the end, not to mention a heroic man like his father.

Only by sacrificing himself and entering the palace to serve Yang Yuanqing can he save his father's life, Xiao Yuexian knew that this was the only way.

Her attitude was extremely resolute, "Father, this is not as simple as being Yang Yuanqingteng's concubine, the daughter is actually entering the palace as a concubine, with the identity of Princess Nanliang, she may have a little status, so as to keep her father, the daughter has decided, please fulfill her father!" ”

Xiao Mo looked at his daughter's clear and bright eyes, he felt the firm will in his daughter's heart, and he let out a long sigh, "But let you marry someone you don't like, how do you let your father explain to your mother?" ”

"Father, I saw Yang Yuanqing when I was a child, and my daughter doesn't hate him."

"You've seen it!"

Xiao Mo frowned, "When have you seen him?"

"Father forgot?" Xiao Yuexian reminded her father, "Back then, my father sold him a jade bracelet and sold it for a hundred gold coins, wasn't his daughter next to him?" ”

Xiao Mo then remembered that his daughter was indeed on the side at the time, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You were only six years old at the time, how do you still remember him, how do you know whether you hate him or not?" ”

Xiao Yuexian lowered her head, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "At least he did not surrender to the Turks like Li Tang, but led the army to defeat the southern invasion of the Turks and protect my China, in my daughter's heart, he is a hero." ”

Xiao Mo looked at his daughter, he seemed to understand something, so he had to sigh, "Let me think about it again." ”

At this moment, a guard rushed to the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Cen Xiangguo accompanied the Sui envoy to see you." ”

'Sui Envoy! ’

Xiao Mo was taken aback, why did he just talk about the Sui Dynasty, the Sui envoy came, he looked at his daughter and said, "Yuexian, you avoid it first, and then talk about it when you see the Sui envoy for your father." ”……

In history, Xiao Yuexian's fate was also quite tragic, after Xiao Mo was killed by Li Yuan in Chang'an, Xiao Yuexian was unwilling to be humiliated, so he also committed suicide by hanging himself.
