Chapter 290: Desire
At the end of August, the personnel changes in the DPRK and China, the edict of the province under the door, the Marquis of Chen Guogong Junji moved to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Liang of the Xunguo Gong moved to the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, and Gao Zhixian, the secretary of the original Criminal Department, moved to the left, as the middle and long history of Li Youfu, the king of Qi, and the old man of the country sacrificed wine Dongfang You, and was replaced by Zha Jiwen, an academician of the Tai Academy.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin repeatedly instructed the marriage for his children, one of the prince's ladies, one of the concubines of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, one of the concubines of Li You, the king of Qi, and one of the concubines of Li Yunzheng, the king of Jiang, and the princess of Yuzhang to marry Tang Yizhi, the son of Tang Jian, the head of the household department, and the princess of Beijing to Chai Lingwu, the second son of Chai Shao, the eldest princess of Pingyang.
As a result, in the second half of the year, the Ministry of Rites became the busiest place, and as soon as the edict came out, the wedding dates of several princes and princesses were intensively arranged.
Yi Yu heard the first-hand news, or from Gao Yang.
"What's the matter, I said nonsense before that the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Works would be pointed out to the fourth brother, and after making trouble for a long time, I still entered the East Palace, and I was worried about it, and I hid it and didn't tell you."
Yan Wan was pointed out to be the prince lady in the East Palace, and when Yu Yu heard the news, he quickly thought of what happened to Yan Wan, so that the one who took advantage of Yan Wan in Shuyun Tower two months ago should be the amorous prince.
Regarding that incident, although Yi Yu knew that someone had harmed Yan Wan in her name, she had no intention of investigating it in detail, and she was deliberately avoiding it.
Gao Yang rested on his lap a plate of dates specially provided by Xiangzhou to the Wei Wangfu, although the size is only the size of a thumb, but the color is bright, sweet and sour, because the number is not much, after being sent to the Lu family and the Cheng Mansion respectively, the Yu Yu also deliberately left some for Gao Yang, but she spared no expense, one by one, the sweet ones will be eaten, and the slightly sour ones will be thrown into the lake water on the side.
"And Chai Lingwu's kid, born in the Chai family, really took a big advantage, if it weren't for the fact that my aunt couldn't get pregnant, I accepted the son of two concubines to raise, where is his turn to marry the princess, it's not for the sake of my aunt's face, by the way, you don't know why your aunt wants to live separately from your concubine, let me tell you, it's-"
Gao Yang spoke openly, and Yi Yu felt that her head was big when she heard it, for fear that she would shake out something that should not be said, so she hurriedly stuffed a date into her mouth and interrupted:
"I'm going to go to Qinwen Pavilion in the afternoon, do you want to go together?"
"Well, okay, I don't have anything to do anyway, let's ride a horse, I brought Feiyun today."
In Luoyang in March, Yu Yu promised Gao Yang to get her a good horse, and did not forget, and when he came back, he mentioned to Li Tai that he had a yellow mane come back from the north in the summer, and Yu Yu gave it to Gao Yang as half of the wedding.
The yellow-maned general is only three years old, his feet are powerful, his mane is flexible, and the beautiful is that he has a white beard on his feet, Gao Yang loves it very much, so he compares it with the dark cloud of the jade, Xu Mingfeiyun, who cherishes it very much on weekdays, and raises it in the princess's mansion, and occasionally pulls it out to ride.
"Riding a horse is too eye-catching, I'd better ride the car."
Gao Yang pouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, take the car and take the car, I don't know how to move when I sit in the car all day, and I'm not afraid of eating too much."
will be blessed. ”
Yu Yu smiled, "I don't eat much, where will I get fat?" ”
"Yes," Gao Yang rolled his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to strike at her waist, "Let me see." ”
"Haha, don't, don't move, beware of falling into the lake," Yu Yu was afraid of itching, haha laughed, dodged left and right to avoid her teasing, stretched out his arm to push her away, but she might as well be touched a few times by her waist, and she was going to laugh and cry when it was itchy.
"If you make trouble again, I'm angry."
He shouted at Gao Yang with a straight face, and the other party honestly withdrew his hand, pinched his palm, and teased with his eyebrows:
"I also said that you are not fat, and your waist is fleshy, so I caught you."
"If all the skinny ones are bones, that's not a bad thing."
Yi Yu covered her stomach and glared at her, but she was somewhat concerned about her words, and secretly pressed her slightly bulging belly under her hand, remembering that dressing these days was not as comfortable as some time ago, her suspicion suddenly rose, her left eye jumped twice, and she hurriedly deducted her pulse.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, just kidding, you're really angry? ”
"It's okay," Yi Yu let go of his wrist, there was no abnormal pulse, let out a light sigh, and secretly laughed at himself for being stupid, didn't he just come to Yuexin in the middle of last month, how could there be anything, what is the excitement, isn't it just to eat fat.
It was night, freshen up, the lamp was bright in front of the bed, the maids checked the window, prepared the tea for the night, and closed the door and withdrew.
Changed out of his regular clothes, wearing only a white middle coat, Li Tai bent his knees and half lay on the outside of the bed, holding half a book in his hand and reading, his black hair was scattered, a little more gentle than the daytime, and his facial features were too beautiful for people to look at directly, because they were covered by candles, they seemed to be easier to get closer.
Yi Yu put on a loose skirt shirt worn after bathing, sat cross-legged on the side of the bed, bent his neck and combed the cleaned hair from beginning to end, tied it with a hairrope in the middle, teased it to his back, put the comb back on the small cabinet at the head of the bed, looked up at Li Tai, pretended to yawn, then lifted a corner of the quilt and got in, lay down with his back to Li Tai, and said vaguely:
"It's not early, tomorrow I made an appointment with the same person to go to the Hibiscus Garden to enjoy the flowers, I will sleep first, His Royal Highness will read the book, and rest early."
After saying that, she pricked up her ears to listen to the sound behind her, and after a while, she didn't hear any movement from Li Tai, so she closed her eyes with confidence, and was about to make a dream, when she put a palm on her neck exposed outside the quilt, and her fingers slid lightly over the base of her ear, and flicked twice on her taut chin, which soon made her blush, and she had to open her eyes, and pressed the big hand on her chin to make a fool, and said:
"I want to sleep."
Li Tai put the scroll aside, turned over and lay down against her back, one hand on the side of her head, back to the candlelight, looking at her unclear side face, the palm she held down was on her heart, and she could especially feel her active heartbeat.
It's a little ridiculous to think that a quiet person like him would have a habit of sleeping in the same bed with others for a day, even to the point that he would not be able to sleep peacefully without her company.
Be clear about this and not
Not a good habit, but he likes it.
"Gaochang King Lu Wentai was arrogant, blocked the Western Regions horse road, and the Turks raided Yiwu and Yanqi together, and fled from the Turks to Gaochang's Central Plains population, and he did not hide, these two years he was sick and did not enter the court, his father was not happy, sent Yu Langzhong to question, the day before yesterday morning the envoy went back and forth, brought back his arrogance, and his father was furious."
Hearing Li Tai suddenly talk about the court, Yi Yu turned his head suspiciously and looked at him.
Seeing the inquiry in her eyes, Li Tai paused for a moment before speaking:
"My father intends to join forces with Tuyuhun to defeat Gaochang, and there will be a war in the northwest."
War is not a distant name for Yiyu, and last September, Lu Jun participated in the Battle of Songzhou against the Tibetans, and in that battle, he captured the enemy general, and was appreciated by the emperor.
But she didn't understand why Li Tai suddenly mentioned this to her.
"The palace was attacked in June, and the northwest state was ready to move, and at this time Gaochang leaned towards the Turks, which was really a loss of face for me, and in order to deter the distance, Gaochang would be destroyed to set an example."
Yi Yu had a faint bad thought in his heart, and said cautiously:
"I read the book, I feel that King Gaochang is a fickle person, after the death of the former Sui, when the Eastern Turks were greater than our dynasty, he took refuge in the Eastern Turkic Khanate, Zhenguan at the beginning of the year, after the Turks descended into our dynasty, he went into the court to meet the emperor, and now with the Western Turks, isn't it the Turks who have come back strong over the years?"
Li Tai sat up and did not shy away from talking to her about military politics:
"The current khan of the western Turkic region is the valley of desire, this person acts hard, hated by the time when I was in the dynasty and accepted the Turkic homeland, and has the ambition to recover, in recent years, the Turkic iron cavalry invaded the Western Regions, wantonly plundered, Gaochang is in the throat of the western part of our country, and he is heavy on the valley of desire. What you said is right, Ko Wentai is indeed a fickle person, he must be Turkic in the near, I am far away, Fang Sheng renegade and change the heart, consciously have the desire to valley in the back, the right talent arrogant, raise troops to occupy Yiwu, Yanqi two countries, if not more, let it go east, and then invade the distance, I am afraid to threaten Hexi, when it colludes into the climate, it is too late to extinguish. ”
"The father and the emperor treated him with leniency, and he had been advised when he was aware of his intentions, but Ko Wentai did not appreciate it, not only humiliated the envoy of our court, but also spoke presumptuously, saying that 'the eagle flies in the sky, the pheasant scurries in the artemisia, the cat swims in the hall, the rat is in the hole, each has its own place, how can it not live', the father and the emperor denounced him as a despicable villain, and intended to attack it, and the court was divided into two parts, some people agreed to send troops, and some people opposed."
Speaking of this, Li Tai's eyes turned cold, which was arrogant to Ko Wentai and dissatisfied with those who stubbornly defended the country and did not want to make progress.
Yi Yu sat up with him, took his hand and thought for a while, nodded his head, and agreed:
"However, for the sake of the country and the people, this battle should not be avoided."
Li Tai glanced at her approvingly, and what he had hesitated for many days to tell was finally able to say at this time:
"That's right, I want to participate in the petition and go out to fight against Gaochang."
Yi Yu's brain buzzed, and her eyes suddenly became stunned when she looked at him, and it took her a long time to find her incoherent voice.
"Your Highness, you are, this is, according to me
Know, you have no experience in leading troops, and the crusade against Gaochang is not child's play, how can you do this, the emperor will probably not agree..."
How can this work, Li Tai is in Chang'an City, and there are always people who are worried about taking his life, and when he really arrives in the army, taking advantage of the war, it is not more convenient to give people the opportunity to start.
Is she misremembering or what, is there such a period in history, Li Shimin seems to have sent troops to destroy Gaochang, but the person who led the troops could not be Li Tai, he is the prince, how could the emperor promise to let his son-
No, no, the king of Wei in history is the second son of the eldest grandson empress, and her Li Tai is just a concubine born to an unknown concubine, hasn't the emperor always used this son to balance the power of the court, he doesn't care about the safety of this concubine for a long time, isn't it?
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Li Tai couldn't bear it, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and said in a low voice:
"My father had privately sent me an edict the day before yesterday, and he also intended me to participate in this campaign."
