The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Poor Jinxiyue, where are you going?Is it someone else's world, see it over there, light and shadow east?It's outside the sky, the sky is full of sweat, but the strong wind sends the Mid-Autumn Festival?Who is the rootless flying mirror?If Heng'e doesn't marry, who will stay?

……

When the Jianghuai battle was in full swing, the city of Chang'an, thousands of miles away, was singing and dancing, and the scene of singing and dancing was peaceful.

Without Bai Fu in command, Chang'an is in a mess.

The Jinwu Guard was like a sick tiger dozing off, with sleepy eyes, sickly, and completely listless.

In the past, the Jinwu Guard, who showed his sharpness and showed his teeth and claws, was like this, let alone the Jingzhao Mansion.Whether it's bad people from Chang'an and Wannian counties, or Wuhou from Zhufang street shop, they all swept the snow in front of their doors, disappeared without a trace, and lost their vitality.

On the contrary, in the city of Chang'an, the yamen of princes and nobles, and the sons of wealthy families, all came out of the mansion one after another, dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, calling friends and friends, lingering in the feasting and feasting Pingkang Square, singing and singing every night, spending thousands of dollars, flying domineering .

……

"It's too much!"

Cui Xunyan raised her brows, and complained to her best friend Wang Xingshen: "In the past half a month, my brother hasn't read a single volume of the saint's book, and hasn't written a single note. A prostitute, lingering and forgetting to return, happy to miss Shu."

Wang Xingshen responded: "Isn't it true that my clan brothers are not? If my grandpa didn't get angry, they might not know what to do."

The heavy snow fell all over the sky, and the feather-like snow made Chang'an instantly become another world.Looking from a distance, the Daming Palace on Longshouyuan is majestic and majestic, with Qionglou Yuyu, like a palace in the sky.

I can only see the rime hanging, the sky is cloudy and the mountains and rivers are white up and down.Between heaven and earth, there is only a shadow of a boat, a trace of a long embankment, and a pavilion in the center of a lake.

Speaking of this, Wang Xingshen remembered something, and said: "That day, I accompanied you to Duke Wei's mansion to seek justice for your brother. Fortunately, the elders of the family were there, so nothing out of the ordinary happened. Sister Luan, how embarrassing it must be.

Wang Xingshen asked cautiously: "Then you deliberately find trouble with General Bai every time. Could it be that you deliberately attracted his attention?"

I don't know how Bai Fu is doing now? "

"'Why don't you take the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States'.

Thinking about it now, it was thanks to Wei Guogong who was in Chang'an.With General Bai Huwei at his side, the younger generation would not dare to make trouble. "

All the way to read, it is the military situation of the war between the Tang army and the rebel army.

This sentence hit Wang Xingchen's mind, she didn't speak for a while, and silently stirred the silk handkerchief in her hand.

"I know the virtues of the children of these aristocratic families. They are usually dignified and polite, but in fact they are full of thieves, thieves and prostitutes. I swear that I will never marry into a family with five surnames and seven wangs." Cui Xunyan said angrily.

What kind of ability is it for someone like my brother to rely on the beauty of his ancestors to become an official? !Relying on his illustrious military exploits, he was appointed as a marquis and worshiped as a prime minister, and he was the real good man of the Tang Dynasty when he was crowned in Lingyan Pavilion.

Under the pavilion, beside the Qushui River, a tree of red plums blooms in the wind, with a cold fragrance.

Wang and Cui looked at each other, greatly surprised.

People like Bai Fu are the heroes in my heart, but I am too embarrassed to say that.Every time I think of Bai Fu dressed in white outside Yanmen Pass, single-handedly fighting Huihe Khan, and saving sister Qingluan from a hundred thousand cavalry like wolves and tigers, my blood boils..."

Princess Qingluan retorted: "Not at all. His letters are serious, like military newspapers, not romantic at all."

Cui Xunyan was quite ashamed, and sighed endlessly: "Isn't it? Back then, I was used to living a comfortable life, and I took it for granted. Only after comparing the two sides, I realized that the good days are hard to come by.

"Why did you say that?" Wang Xingshen asked curiously.You must know that the two brothers and sisters Cui Xunhe and Cui Xunyan have a very good relationship, it is hard to imagine that this sentence came from Cui Xunyan.

Speaking of Bai Fu, Princess Qingluan was like a spring breeze. She took out a letter and said with a smile, "This is the letter I just received this morning."

Cui Xunyan joked: "It's hard to imagine General Bai writing a nasty love letter without getting angry and arrogant."

In Wang Xingshen's words, there was a sense of nostalgia and anticipation.

Princess Qingluan sat up straight, imitating Bai Fu's meticulous appearance, and said in a low voice: "Sister Luan, Qingqing Ruwen: The day before yesterday, my teacher and the rebels fought in Guazhou, Zhongyuzuo Hachiman made thousands of soldiers , Hundreds of warships were destroyed..."

On the stone arch bridge across Qushui, there are many young lovers admiring the snow, holding pale yellow oilcloth umbrellas, stopping to watch the snow and cuddling each other.

Cui Xunyan snorted softly, smiled triumphantly, and said, "There's nothing to hide. After this incident, I wouldn't choose my brother either."

On a pavilion by the Qujiang Pool, Princess Qingluan leaned on a railing to look out, overjoyed, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and said: "This is the first snow this year!"

"Why?" Cui Xunyan was quite puzzled.

Wang Xingshen was seen through his mind, covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said embarrassingly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

……

Wang Xing sighed softly, and said: "I heard from my father that the Jianghuai war is raging, and Liu Zhan is not easy to deal with. His generals are as fierce as tigers, and his strength is several times that of General Bai. There are guns and arrows raining down, and the soldiers and horses are in a hurry. , If there is a slight mistake, life is in danger.

Princess Qingluan choked with sobs and said: "On the first snow day, I took Brother Fu to a snowball fight. On that stone arch bridge, he accompanied me, standing for an hour, endless words..."

If you want to be elegant and personable in your thesis, my brother is no better than Bai Fu.But in terms of ability and ability, my brother is not worthy to be compared with Bai Fu, let alone his contribution to the family, country and the world.

I don't know when General Bai will come back? "

"Read it quickly and listen to it. I'm so curious!" Cui Xunyan urged impatiently.

I hope that General Bai will be lucky and come back safely as soon as possible.

"Oh?" Wang and Cui Ernv became very curious.

In fact, I have always envied Sister Qingluan, who dared to pursue her sweetheart boldly.I seem arrogant and domineering, but I am actually very cowardly. "

Wang Xing said in a deep voice: "The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. Dude children take the lead in misbehavior, and land hooligans come and go. Nowadays, the security in the capital is corrupt, and it is not uncommon for people to be cheated, kidnapped, and robbed. The peaceful scene of Yan Heqing."

After reading this letter, Princess Qingluan took out another letter.What was stated in the letter was even more critical.Tian Shenli led the Tang army to plunder Chuzhou and Yangzhou, causing harm to the people in Jianghuai, far worse than Liu Zhan's rebels.The Tang army led by Bai Fu was not welcomed by the local people at all, let alone eat pots of milk and welcome the king's teacher.

Cui Xunyan's heart is exquisite, Jianshui stared at Wang Xingchen intently, and teased: "Why, don't you want to be my sister-in-law?"

"Okay, sister Luan, be happy today, let's not cry." Wang Xingshen gently wiped away the tears on Princess Qingluan's face with a silk handkerchief.

Wang Xingshen didn't answer, and winked at Princess Qingluan.

At about the same age, General Bai led the army to conquer the east and west to protect the territory of the Li people.Not only did few of the descendants of the aristocratic families with five surnames and Qiwang dare to fight in person, they even did not do anything to buy military supplies in the rear and ensure the supply of the army.But when they are about to become officials, the children of these aristocratic families are better than one another, and they are all placed in key departments of the court.As long as you don't make any mistakes, you can step up your seniority step by step, and you will be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty when you reach middle age.

Cui Xunyan smiled and said: "Then call her out, how boring the palace is. The past two days have been covered with lead clouds, and it feels like it's going to snow. Cooking snow and tea is also a sight."

Wang Xing smiled and said: "I don't think so. If it were me, I would be very happy when I received these letters."

Princess Qingluan read several letters in a row, all of which were about swords, swords, soldiers and gold leather, and none of them involved children's personal relationship. "

Cui Xunyan pouted and said, "Otherwise? I already have someone in mind. What else can you do?"

Princess Qingluan was hurt by the scene and couldn't help but shed tears.

After a long while, Wang Xing finally said: "Let's go see Sister Luan, we haven't seen each other for a while. After General Bai left, she hasn't been out of Daming Palace."

After hearing this, Cui Xunyan sighed: "General Bai is indeed a great husband. He only cares about the military and the country, but his letters are indeed scarce."

"How is the situation with General Bai?" Cui Xunyan asked.

I saw Princess Qingluan holding the letter in her chest, with a sweet face, she said intoxicated: "Even if the war is raging and the battle is dangerous, Brother Fu will miss me all the time."

Notes:

1. "Why don't men take the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan" is Li He's poem, which appeared decades in advance here.

2. Poor Jinxiyue, where are you going, to Yoyo?Is it someone else's world, see it over there, light and shadow east?It's outside the sky, the sky is full of sweat, but the strong wind sends the Mid-Autumn Festival?Who is the rootless flying mirror?If Heng'e doesn't marry, who will stay?
It is said that there is no reason to ask through the bottom of the sea, and the trance makes people sad.Afraid of the long whale, the vertical and horizontal breaking, the Jade Palace Qionglou.Shrimp toads are worthy of bathing water, ask Yunhe Yutu to resolve the ups and downs?If the Dao is all intact, how can the cloud gradually become like a hook?
