Chapter 65: Love and Hate Intertwine Worldly Love
Since ancient times, there have been many aphorisms admonishing people to be prepared for danger in times of peace. And these thought-provoking words are nothing more than trying to tell you an easy-to-understand truth - "If you are prepared, you will be safe, and if you are not in trouble, you will be at peace for a long time." ”
However, it is a pity that for those beautiful and positive things, you may not be willing to listen to them, and you may not do them when you hear them; But what about the opposite? It means that you don't say that maybe you want to listen to it, and when you hear it, you want to start acting as soon as possible or even immediately.
In the face of this situation, I think most people will have some understanding. However, at this moment, although I have a thousand words in my heart, I don't know how to say them, so I just let it come and go as I like!
As mentioned above, Tang Xuanzong at this moment is an addicted person who is already drunk and lying in the gentle country, and then completely ignores the danger of the border pass, so that he finally buries the disaster.
Of course, we can't put all the blame on him for this, because today's situation will not be formed overnight.
In fact, as early as the beginning of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, the Khitan tribes and Turkic forces had already begun to move. It's just because the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger at that time, while the Khitan and Turkic sides were difficult to protect themselves. In particular, the Turkic tribes have recently been suffering from internal and external troubles, and are on the verge of extinction. Rather than fend for yourself, you should take a desperate gamble to make a last-ditch effort.
Just when the Turkic Khan was hesitating, the sudden rebellion of Ke Tuyu and the others was really a tiger with wings for them. So the two sides hit it off, and even if they joined forces, they conspired to capture Youzhou, an important border town, as a foothold.
And when the time is ripe and the size of the army increases, it can join forces with the rebellious ministers and thieves in the DPRK and China to achieve a great cause.
Looking at this situation, most of these people want to seek to usurp the throne. Because more often than not, people who are frantic and materialistic are often incurable.
However, since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over righteousness, and the final fate of these traitors with ulterior motives is self-evident.
But what these people didn't expect was that Li Shaogu had long suspected and sensed that Ke Tuyu and the others had different intentions.
Not only that, in order to prevent and expose the huge conspiracy of these conspirators to rebel to the greatest extent, Li Shaogu also secretly collected relevant evidence. The most important of these is a list with the names of some of the people who conspired with the rebels.
Originally, Li Shaogu wanted to hand over this list to Tang Xuanzong's hands in time, so that he could prepare early. Unexpectedly, before Li Shaogu could send them out safely, he had already been brutally killed by the clues.
Just when Ke was suddenly complacent and thought that everything was fine, he didn't expect Princess Donghua to secretly escape from the Khitan.
To add to his concern, the all-important list disappeared along with it.
Thinking that the list must have been secretly taken away by Princess Donghua, if this is the case, it will be a big deal.
It turned out that before this, Li Shaogu, who was in danger, had already sensed the danger. For fear that the list would be destroyed due to his sudden accident, he kept an extra eye and asked his beloved wife, Princess Donghua, to keep the list for him.
Sure enough, on the night when Li Shaogu handed over the list to Princess Donghua, Ke suddenly led his troops to mutiny, and then killed her.
Princess Donghua saw that the situation was not good, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape from the Khitan. After that, Princess Donghua secretly rushed to Chang'an City under the protection of Deputy General Li Shaogu, in order to inform Tang Xuanzong of the news of Ke Tuyu and others' conspiracy to rebel as soon as possible.
At this moment, Ke Yu was suddenly scared into a cold sweat after hearing that the whereabouts of the list were unknown.
Now, the situation is extremely critical, and these two must not be allowed to reach Chang'an City alive. So the vicious Ke Su immediately ordered his men to hunt down and kill the two at all costs, and take back the evidence and the list together. If necessary, they can also be destroyed in situ. All in all, we must not let the slightest rumor leak through this matter. If not, not only will the previous efforts be wasted, but at that time, I am afraid that even the head of the item will not be saved.
At this critical juncture of life and death, everyone involved in this does not dare to slack off. Only Tang Xuanzong, who was sitting in the capital, still had the leisure to eat, drink and have fun, but he didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.
It is also said that it is the Spring Festival at this moment, and every household is happy and peaceful. Who would have thought that on such a pleasant and warm day, there would be a murderous motive hidden in it?
The words are divided into two ends, just when Tang Xuanzong was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and then prepared to take this opportunity to hold the canonization ceremony, there was already an undercurrent in all parts of the capital.
At first, Xu Yuexiao jumped off the cliff inexplicably, Mei Yuchen disappeared, then Li Yuqi was mysterious, Liu Ruotian lost his memory, and now even Princess Donghua suddenly disappeared. and the mysterious Bai Muyun, which is even more elusive.
What secrets are behind these people? Are these seemingly unconnected things really as simple as they seem?
From this point of view, it is really not just one person who has a bad year. As far as Chang'an City is concerned, it is enough for us to think about it for a long time.
Let's talk about Liu Xinyu's family first, from the moment Li Yuqi took the almost crippled Liu Ruotian back to the house, the Liu family had no peace. Seeing that their son, who had not seen him for many days, was like this at this moment, Liu Xinyu and his wife's hearts were like knives.
After that, a series of puzzling things happened.
You must know that Liu Ruotian was a "traverser" with modern thinking before the accident, so it is normal to have some differences.
However, at this moment, he has lost his memory, and he no longer has some of the characteristics he used to have. In this way, it should be a little more normal, but the reality is quite the opposite. This so-called Liu Ruotian is even more abnormal than before.
If Liu Ruotian was a "strange" person before, then now he is simply a "stupid second fool", so that he will often do some unbelievable things to make people laugh.
Just last night, Liu Ruotian, who was acting a little strangely, was still clamoring to come out to see the moon.
At this moment, it is the end of the month and it is winter, where is the moon to see? But Liu Ruotian wanted to sit alone on a step in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for the moon to come out, saying that he could see the "Sister Chang'e" that made him think about it.
Seeing this, the maids on the side almost laughed. I thought: I don't go to sleep in the middle of the night, but I want to see Chang'e here every day, is it a fool?
Just when everyone secretly laughed at Liu Ruotian's stupidity, the clouds above the sky gradually dispersed, so that the little moonlight that had not been seen for a long time could be revealed in front of them.
Although this situation is not obvious and is short-lived, it is like a radiance to Liu Ruotian at this moment, magically and skillfully dispelling the darkness that has accumulated for a long time from the depths of his heart.
said that since Liu Ruotian returned home, he slept during the day and wandered around at night. It's just black and white upside down, and life has no rules at all, I really don't know why.
Seeing this, Liu Xinyu and his wife were very distressed, but they were helpless. Just when they were secretly crying, Mei Chengye's family broke in without saying anything.
After all, Mei Yuchen has been missing for many days, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to communicate calmly with Xinxin.
Just when the two families were arguing about this, Mei Jiaxing on the side finally couldn't help it, so he shouted meaningfully: "My sister has never left, she has always been by my side!" ”
At first, everyone thought that Mei Jiaxing missed Mei Yuchen so much that he hallucinated, but they didn't know that he had already seen Mei Yuchen secretly.
It's just that Mei Yuchen is not willing to let others know where she is for the time being, and of course she is not willing to disclose any valuable information to others, even her younger brother, who has been the closest to her since childhood.
At this time, except for appearing a few times from time to time unconsciously and taking the opportunity to visit Mei Jiaxing, the rest of the time she existed in a looming way, and her whereabouts were extremely secretive.
As soon as the elders of the Mei and Liu families heard the news of Mei Yuchen, they all anxiously asked Mei Jiaxing about the situation.
But Mei Jiaxing promised Mei Yuchen to keep it secret for her, and Mei Jiaxing really didn't know where Mei Yuchen was. It's just that I know that she's still alive and seems to be living quite nourishingly, that's all. If he asked again, Mei Jiaxing simply covered his head, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he was unwilling to disclose any news.
But fortunately, Mei Yuchen, who has not been seen for a long time, is indeed safe and sound at this moment. In this way, everyone's hanging hearts can finally be put down temporarily.
As Mei Jiaxing said, Mei Yuchen really never went far.
Just outside Chang'an City, in a very hidden mountain forest, there is a magnificent private secret house, which is a luxurious place built by Jiang Xinghe for Mei Yuchen.
This house not only has a magnificent appearance, but also a beautiful environment. What's more, the interior is very carefully constructed.
This is a mansion built entirely in accordance with Mei Yuchen's personal wishes, and Mei Yuchen is in charge of all major and small affairs.
Don't look at this house is located in the mountains, but it is also a beautiful scenery, birds and flowers, which is really an excellent place for comfort and pleasure.
Not only that, for the sake of safety, the interior of this house has also deliberately added a number of agency information and secret doors, which can be said to extend in all directions. If someone who does not know the truth dares to break in rashly, he must have a different background.
And even with such strict protection measures, Jiang Xinghe was still a little relieved, so he specially ordered his confidant Murong Yuping to protect Mei Yuchen's safety.
Later, because Murong Yuping had other important matters, she really had no time to take care of Mei Yuchen's safety.
In desperation, Jiang Xinghe could only use a mysterious power under Murong Yuping to ensure that Mei Yuchen was foolproof.
It can be seen that Jiang Xinghe attaches great importance to Mei Yuchen. Otherwise, Jiang Xinghe, who has always been selfish, would definitely not be willing to spend so much effort to build this mansion for her, let alone let Murong Yuping, who had never left her, protect her.
And what is even more evocative is that in the days when Mei Yuchen lived here, the feelings between the several of them have also undergone subtle changes.
Afterwards, Mei Yuchen, who had always been lukewarm to her, actually took the initiative to ask Jiang Xinghe to teach her martial arts.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Xinghe was overjoyed. He never expected that Mei Yuchen, who had always been gentle and considerate and didn't like to fight and kill, would actually practice martial arts this time.
This is exactly -
Love and hate are annoying, confused and unlimited.
Life will eventually change in the world, and nothing will be thought of in it.
