Chapter 43: Concubine Li's Fall
It is more deeply exposed, and after waking up in the middle of the night, there is no sleepiness.
Helian Hao got up and pushed open the window. The dark and oppressive sky, like a monster in the dark night, makes people frightened for no reason.
The night wind was cold, and he was only wearing single clothes, but he didn't feel cold.
After Concubine Li left, he no longer knew what hot and cold was. This great palace is as empty as purgatory. After all, he sat on this cold throne, the height was unbearable, the red dust was lonely, and he was the only one at the peak.
He stood in front of the window for a long time, until a little white light appeared in the east, and Gao An, the chief eunuch waiting at the door, knocked on the door gently: "Your Majesty, it's the fifth watch." ”
"Come in. "The sky is slightly bright, and Helian Hao is the majestic and cold and formidable emperor again.
The eunuchs and palace maids entered and served the emperor in the early dynasty.
Helian Hao went to the early dynasty, and the palace maids of the Qingyan Hall were still packing up their things, and the two young palace maids quietly glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, one of them said: "The emperor's face today is too scary, I didn't dare to speak just now." ”
The other nodded like pounding garlic: "That is, although the emperor is also majestic on weekdays, it is not like today...... Well, I can't tell. ”
"What are you muttering, be quick with your hands and feet!" Gao An, the chief eunuch, glared at them.
The two little palace maids immediately shut up, packed up their things, and walked out quickly.
After the early dynasty, Helian Hao went to the study and discussed the military aircraft with a group of important ministers.
The Hu people in the north have not been in attack for many years, but this year they have a new master, a young man in his twenties, named Tuobaji.
Although this man is young, he is cunning and shrewd, ambitious, and not willing to stick to one side. Since his succession to the throne, he has launched several war provocations. Every time the Yin Dynasty army faced a battle, Tuoba retreated.
Three times and twice, it made the general of the Yin Dynasty both headache and helpless.
At the age of seventeen, Helian Hao went out with the army and made many military exploits. After seven years of campaigning, the weak four princes have been reborn and transformed into a general who cannot be underestimated.
After returning triumphantly, the emperor wanted to reward him and asked him whatever he wanted, but Helian Hao didn't want anything, and only made one request - asking the emperor to marry him to marry Ji Qingli, the lord of Zhongyong Marquis, as a concubine.
Seven years ago, the queen was making this calculation, but Ji Qingli is not one of those weak women who can only embroider female red in the boudoir, she joined the army with her father when she was a child, and her martial arts are outstanding.
Although she did not receive any rank of general, her military exploits were well known to everyone in the army, and the emperor was also aware of them.
The queen wanted to use the power to suppress people, but unfortunately the power was not big enough, Ji Qingli stayed in the barracks all the time, and played the tactics of dragging and avoiding the queen. The queen was helpless against her.
Helian Hao and her get along day and night in the barracks, and the two have a deep love. He promised her that when he returned to the court, he would propose to his father, the emperor, about marrying. At that time, she smiled like a child, and her bright eyes sparkled.
Helian Hao deliberately proposed it in the court, and in front of everyone, the emperor was not good at going back on his word, so he agreed to the marriage.
When Helian Hao was twenty-four years old, he married the lord of Zhongyong as his concubine. For many years after that, he did not take any more concubines.
After the two got married, the husband and wife were in love, and the husband sang and the wife followed, which was the happiest time in Helian Hao's life.
One day, he took her hand to climb the "Fengyue Pavilion" on the mountain of Qingshan Temple. At that time, it was the middle of winter, and the north wind was sluggish, and people's faces were painful.
He took her hand and put it on his face, closed his eyes slightly, gently rubbed her soft palm with his face, and said slowly: "Qingli, with you by my side, I don't feel cold anymore." ”
She looked at him with a smile, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she looked like a little daughter, and the sassy county lord who went into battle to kill the enemy was like two people.
When Helian Hao was twenty-seven years old, he went to the northern battlefield again, and Concubine Li also accompanied him.
