Life and Death Record Volume 1: Jinghe 4

In the first year of Da Mo Kangqi, an edict was issued, and the king of Huai'an went to the frontier.

The following year, heavy snow sealed the mountain, and in the first year of the snowstorm, countless people died of freezing and starvation. And the frontier is not much better, the weather is cold, the food and grass are cut off, and the enemy armies outside the city are eyeing each other.

The cold red plum blossoms on the cold stone ridge in Beijing, the heavy snow is still falling, and the whole city is sad and silent.

Yu Li'an was born in this silence.

On the day she was born, the heavy snow that had fallen for several days and nights in the entire Damo suddenly stopped, and the plum blossoms on the cold stone ridge bloomed more and more violently.

The army of Biansai pressed the border, dark clouds rolled in the thick inky sky, and a rapid drum beat came from outside the sky. The enemy troops preparing to besiege the city suddenly withdrew in panic as if they were on the verge of a catastrophe.

King Huai'an stood at the head of the city, looking at the chaotic Ji Lin army from afar, and laughed after breathing a sigh of relief.

It's too easy to survive in a desperate situation.

Later, the grain and grass continued, and the king of Huai'an governed the army well, and the border was much more peaceful. Although he fought several battles with Ji Lin during this period, he quickly retreated from the enemy and did not cause any trouble to the border people.

Three years later, Ji Lin sued for peace and sent a proton for King Huai'an to bring back to Damo.

King Huai'an rode on a tall horse, looking at the direction of the imperial city, a pair of Ling Ran's eyes were clear and cold, and he held a long-overdue letter in his hand.

He returned to the dynasty with a tired teacher, and Emperor Zhengxuan took over the wind and dust for him.

As expected, he was relieved of his military power by a glass of wine.

When he returned to the house, he put three pillars of incense on the spiritual seat of his beloved wife. The half-grown Yu Li'an ran to him with a paper kite in his arms, tilted his head, looked at him curiously and critically, and the disgust in his eyes was undisguised.

He was stunned, reached out and rubbed the head of this little pink doll and asked, "Ah Li doesn't like his father?"

Yu Li'an frowned and lowered his head, as if he was a little entangled: "It's not, I just think you look like a little white face." She slowly raised her head to look at him, her tangled little face was full of pain, "Why do you look like this? Didn't they say that you were the generalissimo of soldiers and horses? Shouldn't you have three heads and six arms, and a copper head and iron forehead?"

Although King Huai'an is a person in the army, he is different from those soldiers in the army, with a rough voice and a bearded face. On the contrary, he not only has a small white face, but also is proficient in the six arts, and is completely like a humble gentleman who has been educated by Confucianism.

"Father...... "King Huai'an, a little white face?" Who taught this? He carefully looked at Yu Li'an's pink and tender little face, her daughter thought he was unsatisfactory? What kind of strange aesthetic is this...... King Huai'an sighed, "Tomorrow, my father will go to see your mother." ”

Yu Li'an hugged the paper kite and said "oh", lacking interest.

King Huai'an couldn't help but wonder, he stroked her head and asked gently, "Ah Li doesn't want to be a concubine?"

Yu Li'an lowered his head and tugged at the wings of the paper kite, without raising his head: "I don't want to." ”

King Huai'an's hand paused: "Ah Li, you ......"

"Well, what's wrong?" she struggled to hold the paper kite up to show him, "I made it myself, is it good?"

He took the strange-shaped paper kite, looked at it for a while, but still couldn't see what it was, so he had to ask, "What is this painting?"

"I haven't flown yet. But it's definitely the highest!"

“...... Well. King Huai'an asked again, "Why don't you want to be a concubine?"

Yu Li'an jumped up and grabbed the paper kite, but because the paper kite was not so good, she tore the skeleton apart.

Yu Li'an pursed her lips and replied as if she wanted to cry or not: "I don't remember what my mother looks like, why do you want to think about her?"

After that, looking at the paper kite, I finally couldn't help crying "wow".

King Huai'an closed his eyes, and suddenly thought of how hurtful he was to say these words to a child like this.

You can't be a good husband, and you can't be a good father.

There is no one in the world more incompetent than him.

......

I heard that the princess of Huai'an died half a year after Yu Li'an was born and was buried in Hanshiling; I heard that the king of Huai'an carried the silver halberd to the Hanshiling, but did not see the tomb, but left with a smile and a smile; I heard that Yu Li'an, who was only three and a half years old, also followed him to Hanshiling and carried the silver halberd that was said to weigh 1,000 catties back to the house.

No one could understand how such a child, who was not as long as an adult's legs, carried the silver halberd, which was said to be a thousand catties, back home.

Later, when he grew up, at the age of sixteen, Yu Li'an followed his father and went to the frontier.

From an unknown soldier to a famous general, it took only three years.

Yu Li'an thought that if her father hadn't forced her to come back, at most it would only be three years, how could she have been able to sit in the position of deputy marshal. She sighed in her heart, helpless, helpless.

But there was no choice but to do it, in the year of Double Ten, she still obediently returned to Beijing, carrying the silver halberd that was said to weigh thousands of pounds.

After she returned home, King Huai'an looked at the strong killing aura on his daughter's body, and only felt that it was better than his own back then.

He frowned, he always felt that the girls were not good at fighting and killing all day long, and they always had to get married. But who would dare to ask for such a daughter? King Huai'an was worried.

Since the age of three, Yu Li'an has followed his father to learn to dance knives and guns, and to play the art of war strategy. Although her father was always reluctant to do this. But for his only daughter, he always held it carefully for fear of upsetting her, so he taught her some fur.

But the daughter relied on the fur she learned to escape the battlefield at the age of sixteen in order to avoid the marriage event, and she also said that she couldn't make contributions and didn't dare to start a family. He regretted that he had taught her so little. It's not that she hasn't been asked to come back before, but she always has endless reasons, which is really helpless. Although there are female officials in the country and a female regular army in the army, how can it be so easy for women to make a name for themselves.

He didn't know how much she had suffered, but in the future, he didn't want her to suffer again.

It is better to fake illness and force her back to make her sneer at herself all day than to die on that desolate frontier. God knows how terrified he was when he heard that she had nearly lost her life on the battlefield, and that whole day, he trembled and wrote the ugliest words of his life.

But after his daughter returned, King Huai'an was worried about her life's events.

I don't know if any of the families in this capital who like the heroines who are maybe a little older. He thought as he watched Yu Li'an smash a bluestone table with one palm.

King Huai'an frowned, and on the second day, he found a well-known gentleman in Beijing to teach his daughter piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He thought that learning something to cultivate sentiment should be able to collect the killing aura in her. But it didn't backfire, and after a few days of studying, he found that the murderous aura on his daughter's body was getting heavier and heavier, and the originally ugly words were even uglier than before.

Well, that's right, Yu Li'an did write an ugly character that shook the world and cried ghosts and gods, and at first glance it looked like a ghost painting, which made King Huai'an, who has always been known as a scholar in Beijing, feel that her handwriting was really dazzling.

At that time, King Huai'an was very disgusted and picked up Yu Li'an's hand-copied "He Min" with two fingers and said: "Father doesn't ask you to write how good it is, but you must at least write it to be readable, you look at what you write, crooked and slanted without order, even if you write it neatly!"

Yu Li'an glanced at him, changed a piece of rice paper, and with a stroke of the pen, wrote even uglier words.

King Huai'an: "......"

Yu Li'an snorted coldly, turned his back and ignored him.

King Huai'an put down his body and persuaded in a good voice: "Ah Li, don't be angry, my father knows that it must be that gentleman who didn't teach well, how about we replace him?"

The well-known gentleman Yu died.

Yu Li'an said: "Then don't look for this kind of old and frail husband with mother-in-law." She frowned and continued, "A gentleman like this, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill him." ”

King Huai'an: "......"

My daughter is finally a little self-aware...... Should we be happy about this......
