Chapter 15: The Disaster of the Wei Family

Previous Chapter

Gu Xixi and Ma Yueniang's wedding was very chic, saying that if they got married, they would get married, the day was set by Gu Xixi's own divination, and the broken word "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance" on the wedding post was Gu Xixi's own hand, Gu Master and Gu Su's family were happy that Ma Yueniang could manage Gu Xixi, and he tossed for a few days, and then solved the lifelong event.

That night, the two of them climbed to the roof to sit and watch the stars and the bright moon in the sky, Ma Yueniang said that she said goodbye to her parents and went out to travel, just to visit Li Taibai in Chang'an, who knew that this celebrity had left Beijing, leaving only a sentence "The Son of Heaven can't come to the boat". Who knows where he's running away now?

"Isn't it too embarrassing for me to go home like this?" Ma Yueniang felt very frustrated.

"It's a trip for nothing...... Why don't you marry me? In this way, it is not a trip to Chang'an for nothing. Gu Xixi said very seriously.

"Xilang, you're right."

"Dog thing, cheating." Ye Qian scolded in a low voice, but he was happy to help Gu Xixi neatly write the wedding invitation to relatives and friends.

In the Ye house, the servants set the table and set the wine.

The sky was gray, and the cool autumn wind picked up three or two slightly yellowish leaves floating in the yard. Ye Qian spread out the paper on the table and put pen to paper. Gu Xixi leaned on the table, looked at the ink bamboo on the paper, and said with a smile: "Arrogant but not reserved, why don't you use some color, it looks very dull." ”

"The prosperous world likes luxury, all paintings have to be colorful, and the flowers are full of flowers, I am tired of seeing them."

Ye Qian rubbed his hands and put the ink bamboo diagram aside to dry. Turning around and seeing Gu Xixi's lazy face, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, too lazy to take care of him, and stared intently at the He Niang who was running around in the yard. The two petals of oranges entered his mouth, although Gu Xixi didn't say it, he could vaguely discern the intention of Dongxing, the son of heaven, to leave King Guangping in Chang'an. The Adam's apple moved, Gu Xixi felt that his mouth couldn't hold it at all, he opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, it was Ye Qian who spoke first.

"I'm going to make a bet with King Guangping this time." Ye Qian said.

The wine chips were thrown with a loud sound, and Gu Xixi's movements disturbed Ye Qian couldn't continue, he said, "It's been a long time since the Holy Lord's killing of the third son on the day? The crown prince entered the East Palace, and the king of Guangping was deeply blinded by the love of the saint's ancestors and grandchildren, and forgot how his saint Ah Weng ascended to the dragon throne of Hanyuan Hall with blood? Why can't you think about it so much, and you have to rush to move the prime minister? ”

Ye Qian wanted to refute, but Gu Xixi's mouth didn't stop at all, "He is the emperor's grandson, he doesn't want to mess around, what about you?" Damn, what about my sister?! ”

"What the ......" Ye Qian was so annoyed that he grabbed a handful of dice and threw it on Gu Xixi. Calmly breathing, Ye Qian also knew that Gu Xixi was not necessarily in vain in the face of major events because he hated Li Jiao for "forcibly marrying" his sister, Gu Xixi analyzed the hexagram many times, and always said that it did not conform to nature, and it was easy to cause disasters. The two glared at each other for a while, and Gu Xixi raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"The saint knows everything, the saint doesn't want to know anything, after the twelve, the prince can't see through the saint, the king of Guangping can't see through the saint, and you can't see through either."

Ye Qian listened to Gu Xixi's words, but he had to admit that it made sense. Ye Qian wanted the Tang Dynasty to restore the clarity of the reigns of Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling, and temporarily put his future and safety behind. Gu Xixi didn't persuade him in his heart, just like Ye Qian always wouldn't force him to fight for fame, two bottles of alcohol, and a gentleman's covenant to drink.

Gu Xixi is no longer greedy for cups, in his words, now that the sun has not climbed to the west mountain, he wants to go home to accompany his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Ye watched Gu Xixi leave with a loving smile, and began to nag Ye Qian's marriage again, responding that she only had a bamboo curtain that strictly covered her son's figure.

Li Li didn't sleep for several days. It was late at night, when Li Jiao turned over for the third time, Gu Panpan finally couldn't help it, she sat up, asked someone to light the lamp, and looked at Li Jiao's helpless face with her lips pursed.

"I'll go and squint on the bed outside for a while, and the princess will sleep peacefully." Li Li said.

"You can't sleep?" Gu Panpan quietly tugged on Li Li's arm.

If you have something on your mind, where can you sleep? Li Jiao stretched out his hand and stroked the broken hair on Gu Panpan's sideburns, and said, "Good, you have a good rest, I will get up early tomorrow and discuss with Uncle Wei." Seeing Gu Panpan obediently nest back into the quilt, Li Li couldn't sleep after all. Draped over his shoulders, he stepped out of the door, and was greeted by the cold. In the study, there are several volumes of notes to be sent to Luoyang, counting Li Linfu's political failures and contacts with the border generals of the feudal town.

Li Jiao sat under the porch and looked at the stars in the night sky, watching the east white. Gu Panpan hugged the pillow, and always felt that Li Li's love for him was not real, Cui Qingyang once said that Li Li had never spoken to her about the government, and he couldn't even hide his own plans. Gu Panpan faintly felt that Li Jiao was hiding something big in his heart now, but he was always calm and pretended to be nothing in front of him.

"I'm not Sister Cui, and I have no affection for him." Gu Panpan muttered softly.

Gu Panpan felt that his grievances were a little vexatious, so he could only force himself to sleep.

It's just jealousy, and it can't coax people at all.

Chang'an's recital has not yet arrived in Luoyang, and Luoyang's holy decree has arrived first. Wei Jian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, traveled with the envoy of the Hexi Festival privately and was sent by the prime minister's subordinates. Since the founding of Li Tang, Ma Zheng has been an important military matter for several generations, and Hexi is the important place of Ma Zheng. The Jiedu envoy who managed the war horse for the imperial court and the brother of the crown princess of the East Palace gave and received it privately, which made Li Longji very annoyed, and Rao is concubine persuaded him with good words, and he also smashed a candlestick in the palace before he stopped and sat down.

Wei Jian and Hexi Jiedu were degraded and released too much. Before the envoy of Hexi Jiedu arrived, the Son of Heaven sent an envoy to kill in Qianzhong. The crown prince was summoned by the saint, and the father and son closed the door for a whole day, and the lieutenant did not dare to approach half a step. That night, Li Heng wrote a letter asking people to send it to the Guangping Palace, and sternly asked Li Jiao not to stir up the troubled waters of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate the old case.

Li Jiao was not a stirrger, but the mastermind of this attempt to attack Li Linfu.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and both Beijing were shocked. Li Xianggong is a sparse book, and he is determined to pull the East Palace off the horse. Bottoming out, it's too late to regret. Li Jiao sat by the fire, his bony hand stretched out to look pale, Yuan Zai looked at Ye Qian, who was sitting silently, and refused to speak first.

The palace was full of low pressure.

"If the saint wants to condemn the crime, and investigate the criminal department and Dali Temple to snar the prime minister's mistakes in the name of investigating the old case, it will naturally be a partisan struggle among the courtiers, and the king of Guangping should take self-protection as a plan." Ye Qian said.

Li Jiao suddenly raised his head and looked at the young man who was still calm in front of the disaster.

"You're asking me to take myself out? The East Palace is guilty, can this Wang Yan protect himself? ”

Seeing this, Yuan Zai said: "Your Majesty has offended Duke Wei, but he has not yet condemned the prince, and the minister speculates ......"

Without saying a word, Ye Qian glanced at Yuan Zai, and directly interjected: "Li Xianggong conspired with Wei Gong to regulate the crown prince, and it is His Royal Highness who is not at fault that cannot directly impeach the prince, so His Majesty has not condemned the East Palace." King Guangping's mistake was just to persuade the Son of Heaven to be lucky, so as to make it difficult for the prime minister, and the song has not been sent out, so why rush to push the crime to the princess's mother's house? ”

Won Jae pursed his lips in a huff.

"Besides, I wrote both copies." Ye Qian looked at the sparks beating in the furnace and said.

Li Li was really surprised, Ye Qian's implication was that he wrote the book, and everything could not fall directly on Li Li.

"Wen Yu, when I asked you to ghostwrite the drafting, I didn't have this in mind."

"The minister has not questioned you either."

The room was quiet again, save for the slight popping of sparks in the midst of the charcoal fire. Li Jiao pondered for a moment, and personally scooped tea from the hanging furnace for Ye Qian and Yuan Zai. "With a gentleman, how can this king do those selfish things? It's the discord between the king and the prime minister, and the two are just friends of the king, how can they implicate you. ”

As soon as Ye Qian came out of the Guangping Palace, he saw Xu Yin standing far away waiting for him. The cousin who listened to the wind obviously couldn't sit still, and Xu Xu, who was addicted to poetry and literature all day long, was finally willing to raise his head from the study and ask about the fireworks outside. As soon as Ye Qian heard Xu Guilt's reluctant inquiries, he knew that it was all taught by his own mother, Mrs. Ye, he looked at Xu Guilty and hissed, grinding his teeth. No wonder my uncle was very worried about his son working in the capital alone, and wrote several letters to take care of himself.

Although Xu Cheng is erudite and has a strong memory, he is very incompatible with reality.

"Second brother, I think, instead of trying to figure out the intentions, why didn't King Guangping confess to the Holy Lord?"

Gu Panpan personally took off the big hat for Li Li, and the couple sat opposite each other for a while, Gu Panpan said: "Li Xianggong does not shy away from his thoughts of supporting Uncle Shouwang, why should Yu Lang hide it from the sage Ah Weng?" ”

"Princess, what is the truth of this?" Li Li asked with a smile.

"Yu Lang was in the middle of it, and saw the battle above the temple. How did Yu Lang forget, the sage Ah Weng is your grandfather, and as a grandson, he confessed to his grandfather that he didn't like Li Xianggong, as long as his words were reasonable, how could the saint really offend you? Gu Panpan rubbed his hands and said.

"The princess has never seen blood inside the palace walls." Li Jiao chuckled and shook his head.

Gu Panpan saw Li Jiao's disapproving appearance, and his little temper came up and said, "I don't understand with you?" Don't you keep saying that the Three Towns Festival made An Lushan deliberately say something in front of the palace that didn't seem to have the city government, so that His Majesty was very fortunate to him? Don't you understand that the Holy Elder is getting old and starting to get tired of those different hearts? ”

Li Jiao looked at Gu Panpan, who was gradually starting to splash in front of him, and was stunned.

It makes a lot of sense.

Li Jiao looked at Gu Panpan's puffy little face, and couldn't help but touch it with his fingers, softening his tone, "What the princess said is right, what the princess said makes sense." ”

"Everyone can understand the truth, but the courtiers don't dare to persuade you. Dog ......" Gu Panpan looked at Li Li angrily, couldn't help but reach out and twist his arm, and finally swallowed the dog thing back.

The princess has been dignified for so long, and finally can't help it.

When has Li Jiao seen a woman look so arrogant?

"Princess, I was wrong."
