Chapter 2: Qin Shi Mingyue

The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty was 37 years old

Qin Shi Huang went out to patrol the sand dunes of Hebei, suddenly became critically ill, and before he died, he ordered Zhao Gao to write an edict, and rushed back to Xianyang with his eldest son Fusu to do the funeral, intending to let Fusu succeed to the throne. Before the edict could be issued, Qin Shi Huang fell ill and died in the sand dunes.

It is natural to appoint the eldest son Fusu as emperor and will not cause turmoil. But as Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the emperor's jade seal and car, had selfish intentions, and wanted to set up Hu Hai, who was close to him, young and ignorant and confused, as the emperor, at this important historical juncture, Li Si, as the prime minister, held the highest power, and did not think about the safety of the country and the people, and presided over justice, he abandoned the minimum principle, and Zhao Gao jointly helped Hu Hai to ascend the throne, and soon led Zhao Gao to make a rebellion, killed the son Fusu, the general Meng Tian and his younger brother Meng Yi, The right prime minister, Feng Quji, etc., even sat down in countless places, and more than 20 sons and more than 10 princesses of Qin Shi Huang were also executed.

Sanchuan County, Li Si's eldest son, Sanchuan County Shou Li You, with his wife Princess Mingyue, stood on the wall of Sanchuan County, Mingyue quietly accompanied her husband's side, looking into the distance, that is the direction of home.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled and captured Daze Township in one fell swoop. Then he captured Qi County, and the momentum was like a bamboo. When the rebel army captured Huaiyang, there were six or seven hundred chariots, more than 1,000 cavalry, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

Mingyue was worried about her husband, but she never said it, because she believed in her husband's genius.

When she was young, Mingyue was the youngest daughter of her father, this pampered little princess, but she was not pampered and arrogant, in the deep palace, competing for favor everywhere, but she was only in the Mingyue Palace built for her by her father, quietly accompanied by her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Until one day, the imperial brother Fusu returned to Beijing, she begged the imperial brother to take her out of the palace to play, Fusu took Mingyue to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fusu and Prime Minister Li Si's son Li Younai is the best friend, the ten-year-old Princess Mingyue is more dependent than Li Youbai, who is five years older than herself, Li You also has a soft spot for Mingyue, but Mingyue is young, Li You would rather wait for Mingyue to grow up.

"Brother Li You, come in and see what Yueyue has drawn. Princess Mingyue stood in front of the door, smiling at Li You, who was dancing with a long sword like a dragon in the courtyard. Li You heard Mingyue's shout, withdrew the sword in his hand and turned his head, his sunny and handsome face showed a rare smile, Li You is a man who fought in the bloody rain, he was still young but had excellent martial arts, but he was precocious, not like the average fifteen-year-old boy who was playful and frolicking, he knew that he should be ambitious as a man. Several times with the troops to go out to the battle are invincible, the vast territory of the Qin Dynasty, there are also Li You's brilliant achievements and glory in the small children's contributions, fighting like the wind on the battlefield, Li You is a rare general's talent, over time will be a good general who guards one side to bless the people.

Li You was only in front of Princess Mingyue, speaking softly, where is there a little bit of majesty? Put the sword into the sheath at the moment: "Yueyue, are you naughty again?" Mingyue pouted: "Where is Yueyue naughty, Yueyue has always been very well-behaved, if she is naughty, she is only blamed for being spoiled by Brother Li You." Li You smiled, walked into the room with Mingyue, and saw a silk silk spread on the desk in the center, so he stepped forward to look. Without waiting for Li You to approach, Mingyue actually took a quick step in front of Li You, and in an instant, the pink peach blossoms were like spring. Li You was puzzled: "Didn't Yueyue want to show her brother a painting? Why did you look like this?" Mingyue Qiao's face turned even redder, and she said in a low voice: "Brother Li You, don't make fun of Yueyue after you see it." "Oh?" Li You nodded and said, "How could I make fun of Xiao Yueyue?" said and broke Mingyue's shoulder: "Come, let's watch together." ”

A beautiful picture, high mountains, flowing water, thatched huts, small bridges. The most vivid is a pair of young men and women on the small bridge, Li You looked at it fixedly, and almost lost his laughter, aren't these two teenagers himself and Mingyue? In an instant, he thought of promising Mingyue not to make fun of him, so he turned to Mingyue with a straight expression, and glanced at the jade pendant that flashed at the neck of the pair of teenagers on the picture, the girl was wearing a red jade pendant, which was as red as blood, and the boy was wearing a blue jade pendant, which was as blue as the sky. Li You exclaimed: "Such beautiful jade pendants, if I didn't know that they were just painted on silk, I would have taken them, and there is no doubt that they are fake." Mingyue looked at Li You with a smile: "Brother Li You, I also like this kind of jade pendant so much, it has already been painted, and I feel that it is a little hollow, so I added it." Li You looked at the two shining jade pendants and said: "Good addition, the pen of the moon and the moon god makes my brother yearn for the world in this painting." Then he turned to Mingyue and said: "Is this good? I made such a jade pendant custom-made, and you and I hung it on our chests respectively, and we lived from generation to generation, just like the people in the moon painting, leaning on each other, with green mountains, and thatched houses, okay?"

Mingyue is young after all, and her childlike heart is still alive, and she is already smiling like a flower at this time: "Okay, okay, Brother Li You, I know that you love Yueyue the most, and when you don't have to lead the troops to fight anymore, we can be together every day." ”

However, the situation was far from being as good as they imagined, and the emperor took Li You to guard Sanchuan County for many years. Mingyue knew that most of her brothers and sisters were married to the Li family, and she only hoped that one day her father would give her a marriage and give her to Li You as his wife, and this life would be enough. And Li You is also reluctant to marry, only dedicated to guarding Sanchuan County, loyal to his duties and never slacking off, in his heart, there will always be a smiling girl figure in the sword, gun and sword halberd with him day and night, that is the princess Mingyue he misses.

Finally one day, Li You returned to Xianyang from Sanchuan County, and hundreds of civil and military officials went to toast Li Si to congratulate, and there were thousands of carriages and horses in front of the door, which was really infinite.

And the emperor gave marriage, and Princess Mingyue married Li You, the eldest son of Prime Minister Li Si, as his wife. Let Mingyue finally find a sense of belonging, and she will have no regrets about spending this life with her beloved.

After so many years, the husband and wife are still in love. Every time, Mingyue stood beside Li You, watching him look into the distance, her brows were tightly locked, and she was quietly accompanied by a wordless, feeling that such silence is better than sound.

And Li You, who has a cold personality and is silent and few words, is still as tender as water in front of Mingyue, spoiling this beloved woman to be windy and rainy, and what makes Li You's love even more is that Mingyue has never been pampered and arrogant, always standing quietly beside him, just smiling at him so gently.

Seeing Mingyue's sweet and satisfied smile, Li You couldn't help but want to spoil her and love her even more. This little princess, the emperor's favorite, follows her without regrets, Li You feels that this is a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes.

Turning around, once again facing Mingyue's gentle eyes, Li You smiled, stretched out his hand to arrange the cloak for his wife, and held Mingyue in his arms, they all knew that there was not much time like this. Being able to stay together quietly, even if you don't say anything, staying together like this is also happiness.

"The emperor will not send reinforcements. Li You sighed. Mingyue looked up at Li You: "In this life, I can live and die with my husband, Mingyue has nothing else to ask for." "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. Li You took Mingyue and walked down the city wall together.

In the north of Sanchuan County, a small and exquisite pavilion looms in the woods, and Mingyue Ren followed Li You to take his hand in front of this pavilion.

"Leng Yunxuan?" Mingyue looked at the pavilion in front of her, and said with a smile: "What is the husband doing here with Yueyue?" After speaking, he looked at Li You, as if waiting for him to give him an answer. She knew that her husband, who had always been deep, would not bring her here for no reason, it must have something to do with this pavilion and the name of this pavilion. Li You smiled and said: "Yueyue, do you know? I haven't told you anything about it, but I believe you must have known that Sanchuan County, which we are defending to the death, will eventually be lost, at that time, your husband will definitely die in battle, and the emperor is brutal, I don't know how to settle you, I want you to go back now, go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where your father is sheltered, you ......" Mingyue pressed her hand on Li You's mouth, stopping his next words. Shook his head gently: "Where is the husband, where is the destination of Yueyue, the husband also knows that the emperor is cruel, my brothers, and your sisters have been killed, he will not let me go, rather than being tortured by the corpse, I would rather follow the husband, live together, die together, and have no regrets." ”

The two walked hand in hand to "Leng Yunxuan" together, Mingyue looked at Li You with a smile: "Can Fujun tell Yueyue why we are here now?" Li You took out two jade, the size of a thumb, one red and one blue, the shape of a water droplet, Mingyue immediately remembered her painting many years ago, two jade pendants in red and blue, red as blood raindrops, and blue as pure as the sky. Mingyue's heart warmed her eyes slightly, and she almost wanted to cry, and called softly: "Husband, ......" Li You was silent, put the red jade in Mingyue's palm, and said: "These two jades were given to us by the Immortal Fang Daoist, and he poured his life's cultivation into these two jades to inject life, our names were engraved on the jade, and in every life from now on, they will follow us inseparably, even if they are reincarnated for thousands of lifetimes, they will not disappear." ”

Mingyue spread out her palm and looked at this red and crystal jade, with the words "cold" and "moon" engraved on the front and back. Li You also put the blue jade in the palm of Mingyue's hand, the blue jade was engraved with the word "cloud" on the front and the word "Xuan" on the back. Mingyue looked at Li You quietly, but she didn't know where to start. Thoughts flew back to when they first came to Sanchuan County, the two newlywed Yan'er, and they also joined hands in this Leng Yunxuan. Li You said with a smile: "This pavilion has a chic name, but even if it is chic, without the backdrop of our moon and moon, even if it is like a fairyland, it will eventually be eclipsed." Mingyue said shamefully: "Husband made fun of Yueyue again." Li Youxing: "I think it's better to change it to Leng Yuexuan, and this pavilion will be given to my family Yueyue." Mingyue pretended to be angry and said: "Husband, according to the moon, it is better to change the name of the husband to Li Yunxuan, and give this pavilion to my husband, wouldn't it be better?" Li You was stunned, and then smiled: "Good name, how about calling it Leng Yue Yunxuan? It has become a pavilion for the two of us." Mingyue giggled and said, "Leng Yue Yunxuan, hehe, Leng Yue Yunxuan......" Li Yousui picked up Mingyue and spun it gently, letting her dress flutter and her hair fluttering, and the laughter of this young couple rippled between the mountains and forests. Under the shade of the willows not far away, an old man in a Taoist robe had white hair like silver, his face was like a child, and he smiled to take in their ** frolic, he was the immortal Taoist in Li You's mouth.

Mingyue turned back to her thoughts, saw Li You take out two thin ropes with a smile, and said, "This rope will not break, let the husband help Yueyue put it on." After speaking, he threaded the two jade stones with a rope, hung the red jade on Mingyue's chest, and said with a smile: "Collect it intimately, and I will see you again in the next life." ”

At this time, Mingyue was already crying.

Gently wiping away the tears on Mingyue's cheeks, Li You stood in the center of the pavilion and swore to the sky: "Leng Yunxuan, let it be our witness, I, Li Youyuan, and Princess Mingyue will never be separated, if there is really an afterlife, the word Yunxuan, I will take it as my name for the rest of my life" Li You looked at Mingyue: "Yueyue, in the next life, when you see Yunxuan, you must be able to think of me." ”

Mingyue, who was in tears, saw her husband make such a solemn promise, she also clasped her palms together, and said with tears: "The Qin Dynasty will no longer exist zài, and the Qin Palace will no longer exist zài, Mingyue will be homeless from now on, and I am willing to take Leng as my surname and the moon as my name, and I will never leave my husband." ”

made an oath and promised the next life, Mingyue and Li You both knew that the time had come to separate.

As the guard of Sanchuan County, Li You must be dutiful and loyal, even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, he will not retreat. Standing in front of the pavilion, the bright moon behind him is his only attachment, and he has to say goodbye in the next life today.

Xiang Yu's 100,000 troops were well fed and had strong morale, and in the face of a strong enemy, Li You could only take the lead and defend desperately.

Mingyue waited in Leng Yunxuan for three days, and during these three days, she prayed every day that her husband could appear in front of her eyes, but every day, she only waited for the wind to accompany the remnants of the leaves to drift alone.

At noon on the fourth day of Li You's fierce battle, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and his blood flowed profusely. But he still did not flinch, pulled out the arrow, bandaged the wound, and continued to command the battle. However, after all, he was outnumbered, and when the city was broken in the afternoon, Li You still led the Qin army to fight in the streets, and a dozen or so personal guards around him fought to the death, until he fell on the battlefield of his life. Li You's hand tightly clutched the blue jade pendant on his chest, the jade pendant at this time had been dyed red by his blood, red and blue mixed, and it actually emitted a faint purple light. Looking in the direction of Leng Yunxuan, his wife, his Yueyue, smiling like a flower, a shy and pretty face appeared in front of Li You's eyes, and his infatuated eyes looked at Li You all the time, as if heaven and earth would not abandon and follow without hesitation.

Li You slowly closed his eyes, with a touch of pride on his face, Mingyue in this life should be worthy of his Li You's pride, and the love of Mingyue in this life should be worthy of his Li You's happy death "Yueyue, I can't give you the best in this life, in the next life, I must ......" Li You had a smile on the corner of his mouth, stopped his breathing, and stopped his life of fighting, what did not stop was his love for Mingyue, and the continuation of life after life......

The remnant sun like snow reflected Mingyue's pale face, and the expectant gaze still stayed in the direction where the husband left, the lifeless face, and the two lines of tears slipped silently.

The cold wind still blows off the residual leaves, and at the same time, accompanied by a wisp of ghost of the bright moon, chasing the battlefield where the husband has fought and looking for his breath.

Hei Wuchang took Li You by the hand, walked with Bai Wuchang one after the other, turned back to Bai Wuchang who was walking behind and asked, "Why don't you tie them up with a chain?" Bai Wuchang smiled: "Do you think it's necessary for Brother Hei? They are bent on death, and they don't live alone if they let one go back, besides, this world may not be the place where they are nostalgic." ”

Hei Wuchang smiled and said, "Brother Bai said yes. But this Li You is really brave, and I am impressed by him. ”

At this time, Li You, who was beside Hei Wuchang, had already woken up slowly, opened his confused eyes and looked at the handsome man with a black face in front of him, and guessed at a glance that this must be the legendary Hei Wuchang, so he struggled to say something, but felt a tingling pain in his throat, and he couldn't speak. Hei Wuchang sensed Li You's movement, stopped his steps, and with a wave of his sleeves, Li You suddenly sobered up a lot, looked at Hei Wuchang around him, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Presumably you are the legendary Hei Wuchang?"

Hei Wuchang snorted with a handsome face and said, "It's still legendary, aren't you already in my hands now?" Li You was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that he was dead, walking on Huangquan Road. The first person he thought of was Princess Mingyue, his Yueyue, hurriedly looked around, Bai Wuchang hugged the unconscious Mingyue to Li You and asked, "Are you looking for her?" After asking, he smiled meaningfully and put Mingyue into Li You's arms.

Holding Mingyue, he walked to the side of the road and sat down, gently wiped the blood from the corner of Mingyue's mouth, and looked at his beloved woman intently, as if he couldn't see enough, time passed slowly, Li You still held Mingyue, and he didn't care about anything outside his body at all, but it made the black and white impermanence helpless and anxious.

Hei Impermanence couldn't help it, dragged Bai Impermanence over, and whispered in his ear: "What about Brother Bai? Don't delay us in sending them to reincarnation, Meng Po is still waiting on the bridge." Bai Wuchang said helplessly: "What can I do?" so sincere, how can I be embarrassed to disturb it...... Hei Wuchang said hurriedly: "But if the time is wrong, you and I can't afford it, although it's still early, but we'd rather be early, in case there is a change, Brother Bai, you go and talk to that Li You." ”

Bai Wuchang smiled: "Brother Hei, why don't you go?" Hei Wuchang looked helpless: "At this time, you are still joking with me, I am angry, I am afraid that I will ...... Just my black face, that Li You...... He, he's afraid he's going to be scared of me, right?"

Bai Wuchang laughed out loud, looked Hei Wuchang up and down, shook his head and smiled: "I said Lao Hei, you are too confident, Li You, who has galloped across the battlefield and killed countless people, will be afraid of you?" Although your black face is indeed not good-looking, in order to avoid your conflict, let me say it...... Alas, why do you always have to do this bad thing, why can't you let the young couple love and love again, after all, after drinking Meng Po soup, I can't remember anything......" After speaking, he walked straight towards Li You, completely ignoring the face that was black and red.

Bai Wuchang walked to Li You's side, seeing that Li You was still affectionately holding Mingyue and flying out of the sky, he reached out and shook Li You's shoulder, and Li You's body shook with it. Seeing that he couldn't wake up Li You, Bai Wuchang's sleeves waved slightly, and Li You woke up like a dream, and two tears fell on Mingyue's cheeks.

Bai Wuchang's heart tightened, this dignified seven-foot man, bloody battlefield, I didn't expect it to be so tender. Bai Wuchang knew that the most important thing at this time was not to see their children's affection, but to send them to reincarnation. Bai Wuchang shook his head and sighed: "People say that Li You, the county guard of Sanchuan, is as cold and arrogant as frost, but he is so infatuated, I hope that in the next life, you will still be as deep as the sea." ”
