Chapter 4 The End of Life Chapter 2 Biography
Chapter 8 Continuation of Relationship
In the early morning, Chang'an City opened its doors as usual
Scholars who went to Beijing to study, merchants who went out of the city to buy goods, woodcutters who went to the city to sell firewood... People of all colors flocked to the city gate one after another, for a while
Pedestrians at the gate of the city are endless, and they are full of vitality.
At this time, I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a person and a horse galloped over. The horse was so good that it came to the gate of the city in a few moments.
Immediately the knight shouted: "Eight hundred miles in an emergency!" Those who resist die, and those who oppose die! ”
Everyone avoided one after another, and the rider entered the city and galloped away in the direction of Daming Palace!
In the Daming Palace, on the Hanyuan Palace, Emperor Xuanzong was in the early dynasty
At this time, someone went to the temple to report: Qiyu Shengshang, there is a Jiuyuan battle report
Xuanzong's face changed: Xuan
The knight who galloped into Chang'an City entered the palace
I saw that he was covered in loess, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was panting, and it was obvious that he was extremely tired
The messenger knelt down and spoke breathlessly about the battle: Enlightenment... Enlighten the Holy One... Kuhara... Satrap... Shuo Fang Jiedu right carriage soldiers and horses... Guo Ziyi..., the general, spontaneous soldiers... After that, thirsty all the way... Thirsty Knife Knife... Head blood, sleeping... Saddle Bridge... The expedition will... Taxi, overcome... March... Lawton... Remember... Holy grace... Datang for me... And the war...
Xuanzong: Did we win or lose?
The Courier: We... Beat... Won!
Xuanzong patted the case and praised: Okay, what a General Guo!
At this time, an attendant had already received the battle report from the messenger and bowed down to hand it to Xuanzong
Xuanzong carefully browsed the battle report, and the dragon face was happy.
Messenger: In addition to the battle report, General Guo has another thing to do.
Xuanzong: Oh, what's the matter?
The messenger pulled out a letter and a piece of cloth
The chamberlain presented it to Xuanzong
Xuanzong frowned slightly after reading and was silent
For some reason, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent
Seeing Xuanzong's expression, the Jiuyuan messenger didn't dare to come out.
On the same day, a strange will came out of the Daming Palace, looking for the author of a poem.
The palace concubines, workshop stewards, and female officials of various ministries did not dare to slack off, and asked the maids of the subordinate palaces one after another, wanting to find clues.
Only the place where the virtuous concubine Li Huan was inquired about. First, she had left the garment workshop, and her grade was very different from what she used to be; Second, everyone in the palace knows that since she read the book, she has become a celebrity in front of Xuanzong; Third, she was still keeping filial piety, and no one thought that a woman who kept filial piety would write poems.
Therefore, when the entire Daming Palace was searching, Li Huan was clean.
One day, the female official of the garment workshop came to Li Huan. Since Li Bai accepted Li Huan as an apprentice, the female officials have looked at Li Huan differently and often looked at each other. After Li Huan moved away, he often came to visit Li Huan and took care of Li Huan's daily life. Both of them like Li Bai's poems, and they talk about poetry very well every day, and after a long time, they have become close friends in the boudoir who talk about everything.
During the casual conversation between the two, the female official inadvertently talked about this matter, Li Huan was shocked, and at the same time remembered the palace maid who was executed for delivering letters when Gaozong was in trouble, and her face suddenly changed greatly.
The female officer is strange: Sister, you...
It happened that Li Huan was unwell these days, and Li Huan hurriedly covered it up with a cough
Li Huan: My Li family has had angina pectoris for generations, and my father passed away because of this. I've had heartaches from time to time since I was a child...
The female officer suddenly realized: I see. Then sister, you have a good rest, my sister will not bother you, and I will come to see you in a few days.
Li Huan: If I am not feeling well, my sister will not send it, and my sister will walk slowly.
After the female officer left, Li Huan was in turmoil
Since Li Huan postponed the canonization in the name of filial piety, he has been thinking about it for a long time. Although he misses Wang Lang in his heart, he is in the palace, Wang Lang is on the frontier and his life and death are unknown, and he wants to relive Wang Lang's mandarin dream.
Now that his parents are dead, he is helpless, if he accepts the canonization and becomes the virtuous concubine of the Tang Dynasty, then his life in the palace will be many times stronger than the miscellaneous servants in the garment workshop, and if he gives birth to a prince in the future, he will have to rely on in the second half of his life...
Thinking of this, Li Huan had gradually cheered up, and began to work hard to learn the etiquette of the palace and prepare to be canonized, but now this happened again, and the life that was about to settle down was about to become a crisis...
If the wives of ordinary families have different intentions, they will still be divorced and the whole family will be disgraced, let alone the emperor's woman? Although he has not yet been canonized when he wrote the poem, if this matter is spread, the virtuous concubine of the Tang Dynasty actually wants to 'reunite with the frontier soldiers', so where does the royal dignity exist? I'm afraid that if you don't say that you were beaten into the cold palace, you will be razed by the three clans, and you don't know.
Li Huan remembered that the queen of the Gaozong Dynasty was sentenced to 'bone drunk'...
The court is sinister, and the queen has lost power, let alone a concubine who has not yet been canonized? Thinking of this, Li Huan couldn't help but feel a chill
On that day, Li Huan said that he couldn't afford to be sick and closed his door.
And after two days of this, it was all right. On the third night, I heard my personal maid Huan'er crying secretly.
Li Huan knew something was different. Huan'er has been faithful and intelligent since she served herself. Li Huan also likes her very much on weekdays.
Li Huan: Huan'er
Huan'er came over, and there were still tears in her eyes: Niangniang, the slave is here
Li Huan: Why do you cry when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?
Huan'er: Disturbing the mother's rest, it's not good for Huan'er, and the slave knows it's wrong
Li Huan said gently: I don't blame you, you know, I have always treated you like a sister. If you have anything to worry about, tell me about it, and I'll see if I can help you
Huan'er knelt down: Thank you for your grace. The slave and maid are not embarrassed, I think of Ping'er...
Ping'er is Huan'er's fellow villager, and now she is a slave in the sleeping bureau, and is responsible for the bed mat and curtain on weekdays, laying and sprinkling. Ping'er and Huan'er grew up together since childhood, and they entered the palace as slaves at the same time, just like sisters.
Since Xuanzong ordered to find the person who composed the poem, the concubines and female officials in the palace each summoned their palace maids to inquire one by one. But nothing was found in a few days. Xuanzong was a little unhappy when he heard the report, and quickly found this person. The concubines and female officials trembled, so they gathered all the palace maids who were coarse and inky under them to torture, and it was inevitable that some punishments were used in the process, and Ping'er was also one of the people who were punished.
Huan'er was sad when she saw Ping'er being tortured, so she secretly cried.
Li Huan couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this, because he alone provoked so many people to be tortured, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.
The next day, Li Huan pretended to be in good health and went to the garment workshop to hang out.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of crying
Li Huan peeked through the crack in the door, and saw that dozens of palace maids were also punished, or slapped or whipped...
The female official scolded angrily on the side: If you know a few words, don't you understand the rules of the palace? Have you forgotten the execution of the former court maid? It's good now, I dare to write poems and put them in cotton clothes, now it's okay, it's okay to make trouble in the saint, whoever writes the poem will stand up quickly, and save the lives of other sisters, if you don't admit it, when the time comes, Long Yan will be angry, and everyone will die together!
Still no one admits it, and the female officer is furious: Keep beating me!
A burst of screams came, Li Huan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and quietly left.
Emperor Xuanzong asked in the side hall about finding the author of the poem, and everyone replied that they had not found this person, and Xuanzong felt strange in his heart. Although the Daming Palace is big, how can it not even find a person with the power of the whole palace?
At this time, an attendant came in: Qi Qi Sheng, the virtuous concubine asked to see
Xuanzong was stunned: Isn't she keeping filial piety? Declare her in
Li Huan came in and knelt down and kowtowed: Holy Lord, the concubine's sin deserves death, and today I have come to accept the sin, I hope that the Holy Lord will spare those innocent palace people...
Xuanzong's heart was like lightning: You wrote the poem?
Li Huan: It's the concubine
Xuanzong's heart moved: Why did you write this poem?
Li Huan thought of Wang Tuo and burst into tears, so he told Xuanzong about himself and Wang Tuo...
After Li Huan returned to his residence, he was worried in his heart, the power of heaven was unpredictable, and he didn't know what to do with himself?
Early the next morning, Li Huan was freshening up, when he saw Gao Lishi come in with a few chamberlains
Colliers: Miss Li, please come with me
Li Huan saw that Gao Lishi no longer called himself a virtuous concubine at this time, and he was terrified
Gao Lishi didn't say much, and recruited the waiter to help Li Huan go out and get into the sedan chair
I don't know how long I walked, the sedan chair stopped, Li Huan opened the sedan curtain, and found that the sedan chair actually stopped in front of the Hanyuan Hall where the emperor held a grand court meeting.
Colliers: Miss Li, please come with me to the temple
Li Huan's heart went up and down, so he had to go to the palace with Gao Lishi
I saw that on the Hanyuan Palace, Emperor Xuanzong was meeting the ministers
Li Huan came in and bowed down in front of the throne: Knock to the Holy One
Xuanzong: Flat
Xuanzong ordered the chamberlain to take out a piece of cloth
Li Huan saw that it was the cloth that he was writing poems on at that time, and he was shocked
Xuanzong ordered Qinglian monks to recite Li Huan's poems in public
Li Huan was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how Xuanzong would send him down
After Li Bai finished singing, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all wondered in their hearts, I don't know what Xuanzong's intention was?
Xuanzong: This poem was written by this Li Huan girl, and I was going to canonize her as a virtuous concubine, but she postponed my canonization in the name of keeping filial piety, and it wasn't until I read this poem that I realized that keeping filial piety was just a pretext, and the real reason was that she was obsessed with a sergeant on the frontier, and this sergeant was a lover with whom she had a white head appointment.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and a woman who was about to marry the emperor was still thinking about other men in her heart? Where does this put the dignity of the emperor?
What is the emperor's intention to mention this matter in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty today, regardless of the face of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?
Li Huan was even more restless, could it be that in addition to himself, the emperor still had to deal with Wang Lang?
Xuanzong: Her lover is Wang Tuo, the hero who personally killed the Turkic commander this time. Wang Tuo broke through the Turkic defense of the Tang Dynasty, Li Huan translated the book of the whole Heavenly Empire, how could I chill the heart of the hero with my personal selfish desires? Passed the decree, Feng Wang Tuo was named the Sipin Zhongwu General, Li Huan was the Sipin Commander, Hanlin enshrined Li Bai as the ambassador to send relatives, and sent Li Huan to marry Wang Tuo in the Jiuyuan Army!
Li Huan looked at Xuanzong in disbelief, tears flashing in his eyes
Xuanzong said to Li Huan gently: I have a fate with you in this life!
The family sending team led by Li Bai came to a hundred miles outside Jiuyuan City
I saw the smoke and dust rolling in front of me, the loess was all over the sky, and I vaguely saw a group of people coming from the smoke
The entourage looked suspicious: My lord, it can't be the Turks who came
Li Bai looked at the team in front of him, and he was also shocked and suspicious in his heart, not long ago, he broke the Turks, how could there be a Turkic team at this time? And looking at the fact that there are tens of thousands of people and horses, and the Turks are newly defeated, how can they gather such a huge team?
At this time, a scout galloped from a distance: Is it Lord Li Bai who came? General Guo personally led an army of 100,000 people from Jiuyuan to welcome his relatives.
Li Bai laughed loudly and led the team to meet him.
The two teams got closer and closer, Li Bai saw Guo Ziyi at the front of the team, and was about to step forward to greet him, only to see a person rushing out of the team and riding straight to the team to greet his relatives.
Wang Tuo rushed into the family delivery procession, came to the carriage, and directly stepped forward to open the curtain of the carriage, the woman inside was dressed in a phoenix crown, a raw flower and a moon appearance, and a thousand charms, who is Li Huan who is not what he thinks about day and night?
Wang Tuo and Li Huan looked at each other, had a thousand words in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say for a while, the two just looked at each other stupidly
Seeing this scene, Li Bai and Guo Ziyi looked at each other and smiled.
Li Bai ordered: Play joy
Guo Ziyi stopped Li Bai, and Li Bai was stunned
Guo Ziyi: Play military music!
The majestic and sonorous music sounded
Hearing this majestic music, Wang Tuo reacted at this time, and before he could get off the horse, he directly carried Li Huan from the carriage to his horse and hugged her tightly into his arms.
Looking at Wang Tuo, Li Huan couldn't help but burst into tears
Looking at Li Huan, Wang Tuo was also in tears
The lonely smoke of the desert, the sunset of the long river, a generation of poets, immortal generals, and 100,000 male soldiers witnessed the hard-won love between the two.
Among the hosts, the two sighed: You and I will continue to live in this life!
