327. Obligations

Qing Lingtian laughed and pointed at Tan Lu, "Tan Lu, Tan Lu, you inquire about me the most, yes, I am not only happy about this ......" He looked straight ahead, looking at the vast Taiji Hall, and said with some sentimentality in his voice: "Time is not forgiving, I have reached the age of knowing destiny, I don't know if people are old, and they will always think of the past."

Tan Lu lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is the year of the dragon and tiger, how can you be old."

Qing Lingtian waved his hand and sighed, "Tan Lu, you and I don't need to say this." Xu Yu looked at Tan Lu and said, "I think that when you entered the palace in the past, your body had not yet grown, and when you met me, you were lost, right?"

Tan Lu's feminine face also had a light smile, "Yes, at that time, the slave had just entered the palace, and he couldn't identify the way, and it was the same everywhere, I remember that His Majesty and King Pingnan were playing chess in the garden at that time, and I was so frightened by His Majesty's dragon that I quickly knelt down." ”

"Alas...... Yes, in the past, I was still playing chess with Ah Ye in the flower garden......" Qing Lingtian's eyes turned faintly, looking at the neatly placed folds on the desk, the bright blue cover symbolized the supreme rights, and the palm stroked the chair, "You said, in the past, if I didn't let Ah Ye go on the expedition...... Isn't that the case now?"

Tan Lu lowered his head, he knew that what Emperor Ling said was that Yang Zongye, the king of Pingnan, would go out on an expedition to meet a woman, if he didn't go on an expedition, the king of Pingnan would not meet a woman, and if he didn't meet a woman, there would be no such things as the back.

Hearty and smiling, iron-blooded and tough King Pingnan, in His Majesty's heart, the relationship between the two is far better than that of the monarch and the minister, and they seem to be friends and brothers.

He still remembered that when His Majesty was a young prince, he was often sent on expeditions by the Emperor.

On one occasion he went out with His Majesty, and was tricked by the enemy to lie about the military situation, and only went forward with an army of 100,000, and recently fell into the circle of the enemy's army of 400,000.

Decades have passed, but the impression is still as clear as yesterday.

It was his first glimpse of the battlefield, and the last time he saw it.

On that day, there were thin clouds floating in the sky, a little dark, and on the gray wide field that could not be seen, the man in the iron helmet on the brown horse, the long sword in his hand was raised, and the horse's hooves were flying, like a pointing needle in Daqing, and 100,000 soldiers followed the order to roar and rise, fighting and killing 400,000 enemy soldiers......

The blue sand was flying, the dust covered the sun, and the blood splattered his eyes all over ......

Day and night, 100,000 soldiers kept sleeping, relying on the hardness in their bones to force the enemy army back step by step.

In the dark, His Majesty was caught by the enemy's hidden agents, Pingnan Wang Qingma came, broke through the layers of ironclad troops in front of him, covered in blood, rescued His Majesty from 10,000 people, and took 500 elite troops to fight out of the encirclement.

Later, Qing Yi examined him, and he was hit by five arrows from the enemy army all over his rugged body, with thousands of wounds large and small, and seven or eight wounds on the bones that could be seen in the depths, but when he fell, he still tightly protected His Majesty under his body.

What is loyalty, what is it

Yong, such a man can answer best.

Tan Lu glanced at Emperor Ling, who had fallen into contemplation, and a deep nick wrinkled between his eyebrows, sixteen years, His Majesty still can't rest assured that he sent King Pingnan out on that expedition.

He said softly, "Your Majesty, do you remember what King Pingnan said to you after he returned with a woman?"

Qing Lingtian gradually opened his eyes, supported his forehead with one hand, rubbed it gently, his eyes looked through the carved door ling, and the sunlight in it was sprinkled with gold all over the ground, as if it was that day many years ago-

"Your Majesty, I'm back!" Ah Ye, who had not yet taken off his armor, strode into his hall, his face full of joy that could not be concealed.

He got up at noon, and ran out after listening to the guard's relay, and before he had time to put on his shoes, he ran out wearing a light coat, "Ah Ye, it's hard work......"

Under the dazzling sun, it was a smile that he had never seen before, and then, Ah Ye said: "Thank you most for Your Majesty for sending your ministers to the expedition, so that you can meet the woman you love the most in your life." As he spoke, he pulled out a woman from behind him, with an affection that could not be hidden between his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, this is a cloud." ”

He looked at the woman with a slight stunned, she stood beside Ah Ye with her head down, wearing a white peony smoke luo soft yarn, a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, dressed easily and quietly, her body was gentle and coquettish, her appearance was hidden under the white smoke veil, and her body was full of red dust breath, like a fairy who was isolated from the red dust.

She didn't look up at him, she only leaned on Ah Ye tightly, as if Ah Ye was her heaven and earth, her everything.

Ah Ye also hugged her tightly and knelt down together, "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage." ”

He looked at the woman in front of him with some doubts, and asked, "Why do you have to give marriage?"

"I want the world to know that in this life, I, Yang Zongye, only love Qianyun, only marry Qianyun, and only recognize Qianyun as my beloved wife!"

The voice was loud, as if it were still hesitating in his inner sanctum.

The world-famous King of Pingnan, in his thirties, met the favorite of his life on the battlefield, and a year later, with the disappearance of the woman, he drew an unsatisfactory ending to his life.

At first sight, the clouds were mistaken for this life - this is the last sentence of the poet of the time when the literati commented on the poem of King Pingnan.

……

The sunlight shattered a little eye-catching, and Qing Lingtian squinted slightly, "Tan Lu, are you trying to tell me that Ah Ye has never repented, right?......" He paused for a moment before continuing: "A woman's consciousness, except for Ah Ye, I'm afraid no one has seen it." Suddenly found that he was on the battlefield, and suddenly disappeared, a woman whose appearance could not be shown in front of others, how could he rest assured!

"Yes, she always wears a gauze hat, and the minions never see her take it off, and they rarely go out as they hear of it." Tan Lu also remembered women, they didn't talk much, and they rarely saw people, occasionally he heard talking to King Pingnan once, the voice was warm like heaven, he knew people when he heard the voice, he continued to think that the woman who could make King Pingnan love all his life would look vulgar.

Tan Lu suddenly

sighed and said, "Your Majesty, then Su Ranxia rarely goes out, is it true that the women of the Yang family like to connect with a sense of secret?"

Qing Lingtian glanced at Tan Lu sideways, but laughed, nodded and said, "It's okay, that kid, I like it when I see it."

As he was talking, there was a gentle knock on the door, Tan Lu glanced at Qing Lingtian, got a look, stood on the side of the desk, and said in a clear voice: "Enter."

A guard respectfully walked in, knelt down and saluted, and reported: "Your Majesty, the right minister has an urgent matter outside the palace to ask to see."

Right Minister, what's going on at this time?

Qing Lingtian raised his hand and waved his hand, and said lightly: "Xuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard stood up and took two steps back, then turned and walked out.

Then, the right minister He Wen, who was dressed in court clothes, hurriedly walked in, he took a few steps forward to the hall, bowed and saluted: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty."

"No courtesy, I don't know if the right minister is in such a hurry, what is the important thing to report to me?" Qing Lingtian had a smile on his face, and he was kind and close.

He Wen pulled the court robe with his right hand, knelt down, knocked his head on the ground and said, "The minister has come to ask His Majesty for his guilt!"

He knelt down suddenly, Qing Lingtian didn't expect it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Stand up, if you have something to say, stand up and say." Tan Ludeng, who was standing on the side, went up to support He Wen, "Right Minister, you are old, and pay attention to your body, Your Majesty asked you to stand up and say." ”

He Wen straightened up with Tan Lu's support, but he didn't stand up, he raised his head, his face was full of self-blame, and his voice contained pain, "Your Majesty, the granddaughter of the courtier, He Xueying, knocked down the edict issued by His Majesty on the street today. ”

"Knock out the edict? On the street? After all, what is going on, don't panic, you should make things clear. Qing Lingtian put his hand on the table and said sharply.

He Wen paused, as if he wanted to calm his mind, his face was not as anxious as Shicai, but also with a look of guilt, and said: "Today, Xue Ying and His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun were shopping and playing, and they met Su Ranxia in the pharmacy, and there was some quarrel between the young people, Su Ranxia took out the edict in his hand, and between pushing and shoving, Xue Ying hit the edict to the ground!"

Su Ranxia? Tan Lu's eyebrows moved, and the cold girl pushed and shoved with others? This picture ...... He glanced at Emperor Ling's face slightly.

Qing Lingtian's eyes also had a little thought, the edict must be the one he asked him to issue early in the morning, although Su Ranxia was cold and arrogant, her demeanor was already expected, she was ruthless, she was also ruthless, and she was so ruthless that people were unmistakable, which could be seen from her incident with Qin Yanlian.

Would such a person take an edict and push people in the street? With her skills, He Xueying is not an opponent, how can she have the opportunity to knock out the edict in her hand.

"Do you know why they quarreled?" Qing Lingtian asked.

He Wen's expression was stunned, and Xin Bo said that Xue Ying was a conflict caused by scolding Su Ranxia for being an abandoned woman, and Emperor Ling issued an edict early in the morning announcing that the marriage contract between Su Ranxia and the emperor's eldest grandson was excluded, if he told the truth, Xue Ying, how could it

It's not that he doesn't have any reason at all, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "According to the lovers, it is because of a century-old wild ginseng, in recent days, the old minister has a little cough, Xue Ying has continuously wanted to buy some supplements for the minister, it happened that today in the pharmacy, Xue Ying and Su Ranxia both took a fancy to the ginseng at the same time, and they did not back down from each other, and there was a conflict." ”

This is really good, He Xueying will have conflicts with others because of a piece of filial piety, but it seems that Su Ranxia is not reluctant.

Qing Lingtian had a little smile between his eyebrows, his eyes were dark, and he spoke: "The right phase is not very good, why don't you tell me, I asked the imperial doctor to send some human-shaped ginseng in the palace."

"It's just a minor illness, Your Majesty will do your best, and the minister will not dare to trouble Your Majesty." He Wen hurriedly replied.

"Where, where, you are the important minister of our country, and I should care about it." Qing Lingtian smiled, very kind.

As the hours passed, He Wen's heart was also a little anxious, from the mansion to the imperial city for almost half a time, and then asked for such a decree, to go back to issue the decree, this coming and going, Xue Ying was afraid that she didn't know what she was going to cry about.

He Wen's eyes moved, his hands stretched forward, knelt on the ground and bowed, his voice was hoarse, full of irresponsibility, "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed of his love for His Majesty, let Xue Ying do such an unseemly thing on the street, it is a matter of unscrupulous and undignified things, this matter is the minister's teachings are not thoughtful, and there are also huge obligations, and now the minister has let people escort Xue Ying, follow the example of the eldest princess of Changping and kneel down to ask for guilt under the imperial city, and after telling Your Majesty about this matter, I will also kneel under the imperial city with Xue Ying to ask for guilt!"

Tan Lu's eyes were half raised, and he glanced at He Wen, who was worshipping on the ground, worthy of being an old minister of the two dynasties, feeling sorry for his granddaughter, and wanting His Majesty to be exempted, but not from the front, every sentence is self-blame, every sentence is talking about his own mistakes, joy kneeling and asking for sin, it looks like righteousness and heroism, but in fact it contains coercion, Your Majesty must not knock down the edict for the sake of the juniors, and let the important ministers of the court go to kneel again after asking for guilt! Isn't this a slap in the face of His Majesty?

Seeing that Qing Lingtian's eyes were heavy, his face was as calm as water, and he spoke: "The right minister said this too much, what you said just now was also fallen in the conflict, Xue Ying also knew her mistake and asked for it, it was an unintentional mistake, the right minister took my command, hurry up and help Xue Ying up!"
