Chapter 149: The Imperial Concubine Asks for War
Seeing that Li Chun was still frowning, Nian Yun was silent for a moment, then mustered up the courage to get up and make a big salute: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a word." ”
She has said so much, even if the rules of the harem are not allowed to discuss politics, what else needs to be said after such a big gift?
Li Chun smiled bitterly in his heart, this woman is getting bolder and bolder.
"Say it."
Nian Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that the concubine can lead the troops?" ”
Li Chun jumped up from the couch in surprise when he heard this: "This is absolutely not good!" ”
This woman is really not shocking and endless, she is a noble concubine of a country, when this middle palace is empty, she can almost be called the mother of the world's women, she wants to personally lead the troops to the battle?
"Since Your Majesty just thinks that the concubine's plan is feasible, why can't you let the concubine go?"
Li Chun's face turned cold: "You are a concubine, a woman of mine!" I actually let my woman lead the troops to the battle, is it possible that there is no one in Datang to use? ”
Nian Yun unhurriedly exposed him in one sentence: "Since the Tang Dynasty has so many generals who can only be used, why is Your Majesty so embarrassed?" ”
She's getting more and more lawless. Li Chun flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Don't say it anymore, I won't allow it!" How do you serve the people as a woman leading the army? What do your soldiers think of you and me? ”
Nian Yun stubbornly shook his lips and looked at him: "Your Majesty! The concubine is a woman, but the concubine is the granddaughter of the generalissimo Ziyigong! ”
He almost forgot that she, the concubine, was not just an ordinary fat fan in the harem, she was indeed extraordinary.
On the one hand, her grandfather Guo Ziyi's prestige has not diminished for decades, on the other hand, the boasting of Liu Zihou and others in the early years has been indispensable.
But after all, she is the concubine of the Tang Dynasty and the wife of the emperor, how can she be asked to go on the expedition?
Li Chun tried to calm down for a moment, and said: "Nianyun, this is not fun, it is a real war, those rebellious ministers and thieves are all outlaws, they can do anything, I can't let you take risks alone!" ”
Nian Yun saw that his tone was no longer so tough, so he smiled: "The concubine knows." But the emperor is the emperor of the world, not the emperor of a concubine. Whether it is a concubine or a courtier, they are all the emperor's people, and they should share their worries for the emperor. ”
Li Chun said: "You are my concubine, and my harem needs to be handed over to you to take care of......"
Nianyun said: "The emperor's words are wrong. Now that the harem is peaceful, the sisters are harmonious and friendly, and seeing that there are more imperial heirs, the affairs of the harem do not need to be worried about by the concubines. Your Majesty often reads history books, don't you remember that there was a queen wife in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, who fought for the Shang King Wuding to conquer the east and west, and presided over the sacrifice? The concubine is not talented, and she privately thinks that as long as she can share the emperor's worries, she can not only be imprisoned in the deep palace! ”
She is familiar with history, and even Li Chun is willing to bow down when she quotes scriptures. Don't talk about Shang Zhou, just say that in this dynasty, Emperor Gaozu's daughter Princess Pingyang Zhao formed a women's army, won many battles, and was like a bamboo, and made great contributions to Emperor Gaozu's opening of the country, and Emperor Gaozu also praised her very much.
If you really dig deeper, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a precedent for women leading the army, and it is not overstepping.
Li Chun took a step forward, looked at her slightly fluttering eyelashes and dodging gaze, and suddenly understood that what she had just said for him should have been carefully considered, not a momentary idea.
But one of his hearts slowly sank, and this woman was actually plotting......
He smiled bitterly and stepped forward to hold her somewhat cold hands: "Nianyun, you have been by my side for so many years, and I know that I can't hold you like a jewel in the palm of my hand, but you have always been a precious part of my heart. Do you resent me and hate this Daming Palace like this? ”
He guessed that she meant it. In the battle between the open and the dark in the Daming Palace, she is already very tired. With Xiao Meiyi first, she knew that he couldn't live without her, and it wasn't that he couldn't be the king of the Tang Dynasty without her.
Leaving Chang'an, she can be "killed" by the rebel army, or she can be like Emperor Daizong's Ruizhen Empress Shen Zhu, and she will never have to return to this golden cage.
Nianyun's stubbornness and sharpness were slowly dissolved by the real sadness in his eyes, he knew her too well, and it was impossible to say that she could decisively cut off the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years.
She held his hand with her backhand and said slowly: "Your Majesty's affection for concubines, concubines are all in mind. It's just that the concubine feels a little tired and wants to go out for a walk. Yangzhou is where the concubine grew up, and the concubine has not been back for more than ten years. The nominal Ascending Ping Mansion is the concubine's home, but the concubine has never missed the concubine's true hometown for a day......"
Li Chun took her in his arms and patted her on the back gently, "Nianyun, I can't stand you." You...... Are you really going? ”
Nian Yun nodded lightly in his arms: "Your Majesty, give the concubine a little time, let the concubine be quiet for a while, think about the many years of the concubine and His Majesty, and also think about the Daming Palace......"
Li Chun sighed: "That's it, I let Guo Jun and Qixi accompany you, you must pay attention to safety." I...... I still hope to see you return to the dynasty victoriously. ”
Did he say yes?
Nian Yun didn't necessarily feel very happy in his heart, but more sour. She leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "In this way, the concubine will thank Your Majesty." ”
Nianyun is still the master of the harem after all, even if he has to leave, there are many things that need to be arranged in advance.
For example, Li Moyang.
Nianyun took the pothos and Qixi along the Taiye Pool, and before he knew it, he had already walked to the front of the Chengxiang Palace.
The area of Chengxiang Hall is not large, but there is a good yard, there are many flowers and plants in the yard, but in this big winter, only the dead vines and grass are left, and a piece of withered grass is even the sky.
Qixi wanted to report "The concubine has arrived", but Nian Yun shook his hand, signaling that he didn't have to, and walked over leisurely.
There is a small flower stand in the yard, it looks like it should be a wisteria flower stand, there are no flowers at this time, even the leaves are all withered, hanging on the shelf in a neat manner, very withered.
There are also scattered remnants of snow on the dead leaves, hanging on the delicate and beautiful flower stands, with a little mournful beauty.
There is also a swing under the trellis, lonely, which seems to tell the beauty of the midsummer season.
When the wisteria flowers were in full bloom, there was also a young woman wearing a goose-yellow dress, leisurely rippling in the sea of purple flowers, the skirt fluttered lightly like a butterfly, and a long string of gorgeous purple poured down, so thrillingly beautiful.
She looked at the flower stand in a daze, and her voice was ethereal, "Qixi, do you know, there is also such a wisteria flower stand in the backyard of Princess Shengping's Mansion, there is a swing, and it is very beautiful when the flowers bloom, but I have never seen it look like in winter." ”
Unconsciously, she didn't even use the "main palace", Qixi had never heard her talk about this, and she couldn't help but be a little moved.
The wisteria trellis was in the courtyard of the Twelfth Niang of Shengping Mansion, but before it was winter, she had already become the Eleventh Niang and had never been to that small courtyard again.
That wisteria trellis was her most perfect memory of Chang'an at the beginning. At that time, there was a third brother who accompanied her on the swing. Another time, she was swinging, and a man stood quietly in the doorway watching her, and the leaves fell on his shoulders without realizing it.
Later, in that accident, the third brother silently knelt in front of the wisteria swing for two days and two nights, and from then on, he was no longer the son of the cockfighting lackey in Chang'an City.
The scenery in front of me is too beautiful, as if I have traveled through more than ten years of time, and I saw the thirteen-year-old Guo Muye Yingying smiling, riding the wind in the bright sunshine of the eighth year of Zhenyuan.
More than ten years have passed like a white horse, is she starting to get old? How can it be so easy to recall the past?
A whimpering sigh interrupted her memory, and she saw a woman standing there under the trellis, holding a swing, because she had a leaf-colored cloak that she had not seen before.
The woman stood with her back to them, probably thinking too much about what to do, and not noticing them.
There were fine snowflakes floating in the sky, and I saw the woman stretch out her slender hand to catch the snowflakes in the air, staring at the snowflakes slowly melting in her hands, and whispering: "The old country is three thousand miles, and the deep palace is twenty years." A "He Manzi", two tears fell in front of the king! ”
The voice was mournful, mixed with whimpering, which made people cry.
Even Qixi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This sigh disturbed the woman next to the swing frame, the woman turned around, there were still scars on her face, and when she saw that it was the concubine, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and came over to bless her: "The concubine doesn't know that the mother is coming, and the crime deserves death." ”
This woman is so smart, maybe she knew from the day she entered the palace that her father was going to rebel, and the palace was a point of no return, but she still had to enter the palace and become a victim between the family and the imperial power.
In this unaccompanied Daming Palace, as the daughter of a criminal minister, her father and brother don't care about her life or death at all, and the people in this palace will regard her as a sinner, she is a leaf of duckweed, not even a slave.
Nianyun personally helped her up, touched her cold hand, and shook it gently: "Mo Yang, why are your hands so cold?" Let's go inside. ”
Li Moyang felt the reassuring warmth coming from her hand, and her eyes turned red again, "Concubine...... Not cold. ”
Nian Yun felt a little pity, and stretched out her hand to gather the cloak for her, "Mo Yang, you live in this Chengxiang Palace, you can rest assured, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and correspondingly, the things in the court in front will not affect the harem." ”
Li Moyang was a little puzzled: "Niangniang ......"
Nian Yun looked at the withered wisteria trellis and said, "Mo Yang, what is going on outside is not what you want, but if you remember, if you enter this Daming Palace, you are not a member of the Li family, and this palace can still save your life." ”
Li Moyang's knees weakened and he fell to his knees in the snow: "Moyang...... Thank you for saving your life! ”
Nian Yun stretched out his hand to pull her up, "Mo Yang, from tomorrow, you move to the Changge to live, and this palace will order someone to take care of you." ”
