S16 Crowned King
Ye Luxian coughed lightly, quickly covered up, he turned to Longxu, and said with a smile, "Longxu, what books do you read every day these days?" β
Long Xu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, got up to return the salute, and said respectfully, "Back to my father, Long Xu read "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries". β
Yeluxian glanced at Long Xian and asked, "Aren't you studying the Book of Poetry with King Ping?" β
King Ping was taking a sip of wine, choked out all of a sudden, glanced at Han Derang angrily, and snorted lightly.
Han Derang just smiled and shook his head.
Long Xu hesitated a little, but still said truthfully, "When I returned to my grandmother before, I met Lord Han by chance, and thanks to Lord Han's mediocre qualifications, I taught Long Xu's "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" and benefited a lot. β
When Ye Luxian looked at Han Derang with a smile, Han Derang had already gotten up unhurriedly, and smiled lightly, "It was the minister who trespassed and taught the Han history books of the eldest prince without authorization, but the eldest prince had a very high understanding, which also shocked the minister." β
Yeluxian lowered his head and smiled, and waved his hand for both of them to sit down. He smiled on his lips, but his tone was very solemn.
"The prince is old, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he is determined to add more happy events, and Feng Longxu will be the king of Liang, Longqing will be the king of Heng, and Longyou will be the king of Zheng."
Xiao Sui looked at Ye Lu Xian, his eyes were full of confusion and doubt, but Ye Lu Xian's hand hidden in his sleeve gently shook Xiao Xuan's hand, Xiao Xuan had to put up a smile and gesture to the three brothers of Long Xu with his eyes.
Although Long Xu didn't know how to be a king, he still took his two younger brothers to kneel in front of Yeluxian, knelt down to bow to the end of the ceremony, and said loudly, "Thank you father, may my father be blessed with heaven." β
The longevity girl slapped her face inappropriately and muttered, "Brother, brother..."
Everyone looked at the longevity girl with a smile, and suddenly there was a strange shout from outside the felt tent.
Guanyin Nu couldn't bear it the most, she ran to the door of the felt tent, lifted the curtain and took a look, and turned her face excitedly and shouted, "It's Uncle Xiyin's felt tent that is doing a ghost!" Quick, let's take a look. She raised her arms at the younger siblings.
Long Xu looked at Ye Luxian and Xiao Xuan, Ye Luxian smiled and nodded, and then he led his younger brothers out with a smile.
The longevity girl takes care of the longevity girl very much, and she takes the longevity girl to find her brothers.
And the Guanyin girl who was the first to shout was squirming at the door, not going out for a long time, and her eyes looked at Xiao Jixian with a match.
Xiao Jixian is already twenty, very handsome, elegant manners, and bright eyes. He was also a little hesitant, and his eyes were dark.
Xiao Sui stared at Xiao Jixian with a smile, and was about to say something, but she heard Mrs. Xiao smile and say, "Jixian, you go out with the eldest princess, look at the princes and princesses, don't fall." β
The gloom in Xiao Jixian's eyes was immediately swept away, he had always listened to Xiao Sui's words, his eyes turned to Xiao Sui, and after Xiao Sui smiled and nodded, he bowed and went to find Guanyin.
Guanyin was very happy, and led Xiao Ji out first.
Through the small transparent window of the felt tent, everyone could see outside.
The sorcerers shook bells, held bows and arrows, and sang around the felt tent where Xiyin was, shouting strangely, and the other people in the felt tent were busy sprinkling salt into the fire and patting the ground, and the sound inside and outside was so lively.
And Xiao Shuangshuang still had an impatient expression on his face, sitting alone in the corner.
Guanyin Nu came to the wizards with the princess and princess, and also held a few bells, pretending to swing them.
The children of the courtiers' families of similar age in the other tents also cheered out and made a mess with the Guanyin girl.
The children held hands, gathered around the fire, sang songs, danced, and were so happy.
In the felt tent, Ye Luxian's eyes were deep, and he smiled with emotion, he raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses.
"I have been the emperor for ten years, and you have walked hand in hand with me, thank you here. No matter which prince I respect as the emperor in the future, I hope that everyone will respect the queen and give more support. β
Xiao Sui was very surprised, feeling that Ye Luxian said this, as if she was explaining the future, but she couldn't refute it in person, watching Ye Luxian drink it in one gulp, she seemed to have something blocked in her throat, and drank the wine in her hand with red eyes.
Everyone stood up and bowed, "Serving the emperor, the ministers are fortunate." β
The relationship between Song and Liao became more and more tense, and as soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, YelΓΌxian did not sleep, and held emergency meetings one after another to discuss with the ministers what to do.
Xiao Sui was very distressed, in order to let Yeluxian rest more, she went to deploy military defenses with the courtiers instead of Yeluxian, and then described it in detail with Yeluxian after returning, explained all the decisions clearly, and expressed her own opinions.
Every time he listened to Xiao Xuan's report, the smile in Ye Luxian's eyes seemed to be relieved.
Xiao Xuanshi was most afraid of this kind of smile, this was not the same gentle smile as before, but it made her feel that she couldn't grasp Ye Luxian, as if this smile was floating in the air and would float away like a cloud at any time.
In the Song and Liao countries, the border dispute was the easiest to start, both sides were provoking trouble at any time, and the other side fought again under the pretext of revenge.
In short, such wars, large and small, lasted for half a year.
Just when there was a threat outside Daliao, there was chaos inside.
After so many years, Xiyin still can't keep to himself, trying to take advantage of these chaotic small wars to hide people's eyes and ears, gather a group of restless henchmen, and some remnants of Song's surrender, and then rebel.
Just the rebellion, Yeluxian can still take care of brotherhood for the time being, but Xiyin this time colluded with the remnants of other countries to commit treason together, which is an unforgivable sin.
Yeluxian's hands trembled when he took the note reported by the local government, and Qiliang was terrified when he saw Yeluxian's appearance, and watched Yeluxian spit out another mouthful of blood.
Qiliang handed over the handkerchief, and his voice was crying, "Your Majesty, don't you still summon the imperial doctor to take a look?" The queen will be sad to find out. β
Ye Luxian took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and sighed helplessly, "That's why I can't let her know..."
This time, Yeluxian was not as soft as before, he ordered someone to arrest Xiyin, and locked Xiyin's hands and feet with shackles, and imprisoned him in Zuzhou.
When Xiao Xuan heard about this punishment decision, he hurried to Yongxing Palace, stepped into the door of Yongxing Palace, and looked at Ye Luxian from a distance, without moving another half step.
Ye Luxian heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and could imagine Xiao Xuan's intention, he slowly wrote down a few words, put down the pen, slowly raised his head, smiled faintly at Xiao Xuan, and said softly, "Xiyin sin, it has nothing to do with your second sister, it won't be involved, you can rest assured." β
Xiao Xuan's figure swayed, and when Ye Luxian looked at her, it was against the light, a little soft golden light wrapped around Xiao Xuan's side, and she was wearing a light rose-colored dress, shrouded in a halo, and the shadow was full of shadows.
He always knew what she was thinking and what she was worried about, and he was always there for her in the first moment, and for many years.
Xiao Sui thought about it in Chongde Palace for a few days, and finally made a decision.
In her own name, she secretly ordered someone to secretly transfer Xiyin to the prison in Shangjing, and as soon as Xiyin arrived in prison at night, Xiao Sui took Wu Duoya to the prison to see him.
The night was miserable, and the whirring wind was like a whimper before death.
This is not the first time Xiao Sui has been in prison, recalling that time, it was to see Gao Xun and Nuli who were about to die.
Wu Duoya was holding a plate, and there was a wine jug and a wine glass on the delicate plate, and she was walking with infinite anxiety in her heart, "Sister Queen, why do you have to come out at night to see King Song?" β
Udoya is afraid, since she was freed from the clutches of Arabic language in the palace, Udoya is particularly afraid of the dark, never travels at night, even if she sleeps, she will make people light up bright lights.
Xiao Xuan didn't realize this, just a smile on the corner of his lips, slightly bitter and cold.
Life in prison was always unsatisfactory, and after he was imprisoned, he was described as even more emaciated, and the officials who guarded him took the opportunity to vent their anger, and the whips under his hands were never merciless, so he added many scars to his body.
The lights in the prison were dim, and the night was cold, making people shiver with cold.
Xiao Xuan carried a lamp, walked to Xiyin's cell, and raised the palace lamp to illuminate the haggard Xiyin.
Xiyin was dressed in prison clothes, with heavy shackles attached to his body, and his eyes were dim, seeing that Xiao Xuan was coming, he sighed weakly and pulled out a smile, "The queen is here." β
Xiao Sui knew that Xiyin at this time could not pose a threat to him, so he asked the officers and soldiers guarding to open the prison door and retreat everyone else, and there were only three people in the prison at this time: Xiao Xuan, Wu Duoya, and Xiyin.
Xiyin's eyes were vain, and finally stared at the wine jug in Udoya's hand, he smiled sadly, "Queen, is this on the emperor's order, come to give death to Xiyin?" β
Xiao Xuan looked at the description of the withered Xiyin, and suddenly felt pity, she said lightly, "The emperor doesn't know. β
Xiyin was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became more bewitching and even more miserable, "Queen, after all, you are the queen, Xiyin never dares to underestimate you." β
Xiao Xuan listened silently, and Xiyin said slowly as if recalling the past.
"When you broke into my mansion and asked me to marry your sister, I knew that you were not a philistine. You sent me an infatuated Princess Song, and today you personally sent me on the road, which can be regarded as a success. β
"Shuangshuang, she was born pretentious, she looks down on anyone, but she has me in her heart, it's all me... Hehe, Queen, for the sake of Xiyin's death, I can't threaten you from now on, can I promise Xiyin one thing? β
Xiao Xuan's indifferent eyes also had a layer of mist, she closed her eyes slightly and nodded.
Xiyin looked at Xiao Xuan and smiled indifferently, "In this life, the most difficult thing for Xiyin to give up is Shuangshuang, if I die, I hope that the queen will remember your sisterhood and ensure that both are safe for a lifetime." May I? β
Xiao Xuan didn't look at Xiyin, her eyes were closed, but tears flowed.
Kiyin raised her chin at Udoya and motioned for her to come over.
Udoya came to Kiyin's side, poured him a glass of wine, and brought it to his lips.
