Chang Anqing

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, Chang'an ushered in September in a blink of an eye, the wedding of Yang Xiao, king of Fengyi County, and Zhao Su, head of Anyang county, sister of Yuling king, was arranged in this warm golden autumn. According to the emperor's imperial order, Xing Dynasty's all-powerful war against the Turks came as promised. According to Yang Chongyuan's deployment, Yuling King Zhao Yi, Qi Duke Han Shou, You Xiaowei General Shen Tong, and Hussar General Yang Xiao They were respectively named as the chief of the westward march, the chief of the Jinzhou march, the chief of the Yunzhou march, and the chief of the Daizhou march.

The appointment this time shocked the courtiers. No one thought that the emperor would promote Yang Xiaoyi, the king of Fengyi County who had never fought against the Turks, and only contributed to quelling the civil strife. Veterans with deep credentials are evenly matched.

The most important thing is that Chen Guogong, who had the experience of flattening the Turks, and Yang Yuanjing, Taishan Yang Yuanjing, the prince of the East Palace, were left idle in Chang'an, without even a chance to play.The people got in touch with the matter that the prince tried to persuade the emperor, but was reprimanded by the emperor, and they gradually sensed something strange.

Now the battle against the Turks is the most important thing for the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven has never appointed the Crown Prince Yuezhang, but let Qin King Taishan Shen Tong win this opportunity to perform meritorious service. Once this victory is achieved, General Shen Tong of the Right Xiaowei may be promoted to the same level as the Crown Prince Yuezhang .

Could it be that the Son of Heaven has the mind of Yi Chu——

Although everyone was speculating, no one dared to spread rumors, but it still became a matter of everyone's tacit understanding.

In the middle of the night in late September, Zhao Yi, who left the Zichen Palace and returned to the palace, squeezed his brows wearily. Zong Ming in front of him held a lamp to disperse the darkness in the bamboo forest path. When he walked to the courtyard where Li Sui was, he saw The warm lights illuminate the road ahead for them.

When Zhao Yi walked down the corridor, he opened the soft curtain and went in. Until the best curtain, he heard the indistinct noise of Yujing babbling, and the laughter of Aman and Qingyi.

Opening a corner, Zhao Yi saw Li Sui sitting beside Hu's bed in the candlelight, beside Yu Jing in the shaker, and Qingyi squatting on the side of the bed playing with a wave drum.

"Sister-in-law, look at Wuyou, she is smiling, she is smiling at us—"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, as if the tiredness of the day was swept away in an instant.

"I'm home."

Li Sui looked up and saw Zhao Yi behind the curtain, causing Qingyi to look over with a smile: "Brother."

Zhao Yi walked in with a smile, leaned in front of the shaker and looked at the soft and soft daughter, who was born more and more lovely, and felt that his heart was melted.

"Worriless, do you miss Aye?"

Accompanied by Zhao Yi's amusing voice, Yu Jing raised his head and danced at him, Zhao Yi laughed loudly, picked up Yu Jing and sat beside Li Sui and said: "I think Wuyou will follow you in the future, riding a horse and archery is no problem. .”

Li Sui looked at the profile of Zhao Yi interacting with Yujing in his arms, and said with a smile, "When is the day for the expedition?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Li Sui nodded and said: "Everything is ready, I don't know how long it will take to go, so I brought some clothes for the four seasons."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Zhao Yi put Yujing back into the shaker and held Li Sui's hand. Although the two met their eyes, they didn't say anything, but they seemed to have said everything.

"Qingyi—"

Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Qingyi and said, "I'm going to the Western Regions, and my sister-in-law and Wuyou will be entrusted to you to take care of me."

"Brother, don't worry, when to eat, when to take a nap, and when to go to the garden to relax, I will remind you by my sister-in-law."

Seeing Zhao Qingyi looking at him jokingly, Li Sui pointed at Zhao Qingyi's forehead and said, "In my opinion, you, the little housekeeper, should be married off early."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyi quickly stood up with a smile and waved her hands, "Okay, okay, I won't be here to obstruct your eyes, I'm going to sleep."

"It's all about you, you're used to her."

Pushed by Li Sui, Zhao Yi held Li Sui in his arms and said, "Because of you, Qingyi will forget the past and become so lively now."

"Okay, why are you feeling so emotional all of a sudden?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Zhao Yi tightened his arms and said, "I never missed Chang'an in the past. How could Chang'an have the vastness and pride of the Western Regions? You can let me drive my horse between heaven and earth, but I haven't left yet. , I have been nostalgic for—"

"because of you."

Li Sui had a smile on his lips when he heard this, and the next moment he embraced Zhao Yi's neck, kissed him lightly and said, "Wuyou and I are waiting for your safe return in Chang'an."

Zhao Yi's smile deepened after this, but after lingering for a while, Zhao Yi thought of something, and said with a more serious expression: "Nowadays, there are undercurrents in the court, you and Yue Zhang should be more careful, these days the emperor is getting more and more dissatisfied with the East Palace, Whether it is in the court or in normal times, there are many words and expressions, and even the prince is walking on thin ice. Today, I see that the prince looks more tired than before. I heard that he is busy day and night with the complicated government affairs assigned by the emperor, and he is afraid of slack. "

Li Sui's expression turned cold when he heard the words, then he sneered and said, "Now our emperor doesn't even want to do superficial work."

"I'll be careful, you don't need to be distracted by it."

On the day of the expedition, the emperor appointed the prince and the king of Liang to personally lead a hundred officials to see off in front of Suzaku's gate. Watching the three armies, shining like a long dragon and shining like scales, set off under the leadership of Zhao Yi, amidst the sound of gongs and drums, Heading towards the unknown battlefield, Li Sui stood on the tower and watched quietly, only praying silently in his heart.

This battle was not as smooth and quick as everyone had guessed. From autumn to winter, from the defeat of Shentong all the way, Yang Xiao's surprise victory all the way, Han Shou's insignificance, the hearts of the subjects of Xingchao They were all suspended in the air, and even the Son of Heaven anxiously waited for news from the front line day and night.

Just when the shadow of the unfavorable situation enveloped Daxing, and the emperor's mood became more and more oppressed, not to mention the courtiers, even the servants in the harem were cautious, lest they provoke the wrath of the Holy One, but Chang'an, which was about to celebrate New Year's Eve, ushered in a new year's eve. The exciting news is that Zhao Yi led the army to surprise the Turkic Great Khan's younger brother, Moli Khan, and defeated him until he was defeated. The soldiers fled in embarrassment.

When the good news came, the emperor Longyan was very happy, and immediately asked for a grand banquet on New Year's Eve, and the emperor, ministers and common people congratulated together.

On the day of the New Year's Eve banquet, Li Sui sat at the table and was flattered and flattered by everyone. Even her seat was arranged next to the East Palace seat under the order of the emperor. Naturally, Li Sui knew that it was Zhao Yi who fought hard on the front line Because of the credit for her killing, even Yang Hui, the owner of Changle County, who has always been at odds with her, had to laugh and pretend to be a snake with her.

"Your Majesty, today's New Year's Eve, taking advantage of our army's great victory, I have come to respect Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's great talents, long-term vision, and ambition to calm the world, how could I let the Central Plains raise my country's prestige and sweep away the previous Zhou Dynasty and my relatives? Shame."

Liang Wang Yang Hongqing was standing there with the wine at the moment, and what he said was clearly flattering the emperor Yang Chongyuan, but how could the veterans present not be able to hear the irony of suppressing the Zhou Dynasty.

Hearing these words, Yang Chongyuan was extremely satisfied, and immediately stood up with the wine and said, "Okay, let me have a drink with you all at today's New Year's Eve banquet, and wish me great prosperity for thousands of years!"

As soon as the emperor drank, everyone quickly got up and served the wine in response. Amidst the passionate music, the monarchs and ministers drank the wine in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years of great prosperity—"

Seeing the courtiers bowing down to worship and congratulate at this moment, Yang Chongyuan laughed loudly, shook his sleeves and raised his hands boldly and said, "Okay, okay!"

Just when everyone was rejoicing, the emperor on the seat was about to sit down, but suddenly his expression changed, and he saw Yang Chongyuan frowned, clutching his heart in pain, while Liu Shoucheng hurried forward to support him and screamed .

"Everyone!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw that Yang Chongyuan seemed to be suffocated, his face changed drastically, and his figure staggered, and he staggered and fell back to his seat.

"His Majesty--"

"His Majesty--"

At this moment, no matter whether it was Empress Li who was seated above, or the East Palace and all the officials below, they were all frightened by this scene and rushed into a crowd.

However, at this moment Yang Chongyuan was lying on the imperial couch, only feeling that his heart was beating violently and throbbing, the pain was getting worse and worse, as if it would jump out and shatter in the next moment.

The chaotic exclamation of the crowd became more and more indistinct, and everything in front of him became darker and darker, until finally, Yang Chongyuan completely closed his eyes and passed out.
