Four Nights Red House

The moonlight shines brightly, and the melting charm can't disperse the clutter in the bottom of my heart, and the cold breath circulates quietly in this July summer night.

Longji was alone in the courtyard of the mansion, pouring himself a drink in front of the cold moon. For a moment, his thoughts drifted to Taiping's body along the silver-white beauty, and then he was pulled back... Going round and round, it hurt him so much that he had a headache. !

He couldn't control the messy emotions in his heart, and in the final analysis, he didn't know what he was worrying about!In fact, when I think about it again, it seems that everything is troublesome... The rapid rise of the Taiping forces, the anxiety of seeing the unresolved position of the prince right in front of me, and the future situation that I thought would be clear and bright, but has been renewed The helplessness of being disturbed and muddy!Wait, wait, etc., which of the piles of piles will not make him tired?

Suddenly that thought changed, and the wind blowing on the water made him tremble with some tremors.Suddenly I thought of my confidant to report to him that my elder brother Chengqi had gone to the emperor...

The eldest brother is the one with the most peaceful mind among these brothers, and also the most like his father. His actions and principles have always been so clear.Longji also understood in his heart that the eldest brother is a very smart person, and he should have already understood the current situation, which is chaotic but actually safe.Even if the father is really willing to give the eldest brother the position of prince, but he has no achievements, foundation and people's hearts, and he can't match Longji, would he really dare to take it?

So the eldest brother will not argue with him!But if this is the case, why did you go to your father again?

Maybe he and the people around him are thinking too much; maybe the elder brother just went to greet his father, talk, sit and chat with his father?

No matter what, big brother must be stable there, for sure...

The current situation is always like a tide, and it is often impossible to judge a person by his appearance or his performance all the time.Because what a person can tell you to see must be what he wants you to see, so how much do you know what he doesn't want you to see?

What's more, the current situation can change, and the situation and people's hearts, and people's nature and ideas are even different day by day!Is there a common sense to follow and control these?Tossing and turning in this vortex of power is not a day or two, and many things are already very clear in my heart!

With a thought in his mind, Longji raised his hand and brought the wine cup between his fingers to his lips, and poured down the already cold wine with his neck raised.Immediately got up, raised his hand to wrap the cloak covering his shoulders tightly, and walked out of the mansion at a steady pace under the clear moonlight.

.

The black sky is like the overturned splashed ink in the fairyland of Yaotai, enveloping this bright and prosperous world thickly and vigorously.Continuous lanterns are lit all over the long street. Looking from a distance, you can see the flickering lights and the swirling purple clouds. Thousands of lanterns and the luster of the vast expanse are in harmony with each other. It seems to be more prosperous and bright than the day!

During the previous Zhenguan period, the prohibition of the night in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. From the first to the second watch period, eight hundred drums were played, and all the people had to return to their living quarters. The gates of the surrounding buildings will be locked, and they will be reopened and released at dawn the next day.

The square and the city are isolated from each other, so naturally there are no red buildings at all nights and endless nights.

Except for festivals such as Lantern Festival and New Year's Eve, or big days, it is like this every day and night.

But nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has gradually broken this old and safe custom, and night markets have gradually appeared, and the scale has gradually grown.The more nighttime it was, the more people who had worked for a day had a break, the more they would take the opportunity to go out to wander the streets, invite some friends to the restaurant and flower market to have a drink and chat.Everyone has receded from the regular busyness during the day, and the lights and flowers are flickering everywhere, and the lights and shadows are flickering, so prosperous and lively!

The tradition of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is gradually being broken. This bustling and prosperous city has become more and more unique. Datang has finally become a nightless magic city gathering thousands of brilliance. It is the most amazing city in the world. The legends and the most legendary longings of this dynasty are all gathered together in this dynasty. It is like the most dazzling pearl, standing tall in the center of the world, receiving courtesy from all, and enjoying boundless abundance...

Walking through the willows in the Red Mansion at night, who will make you trample all the flowers in Chang'an!

Taiping was wearing a gorgeous red dress, with such gorgeous eye makeup on her eyebrows, and the narrow eyebrows deliberately raised and drawn into the temples showed the sharpness of her whole body, and made the Tang Empire the most majestic. The majesty and majesty of the illustrious and powerful princesses complement each other.

The soft sedan chair painted with shells, pearls and jade, and long feathers of a hundred birds is like an auspicious cloud from the distant sky, gently dragging through the bustling long streets and alleys.

Wherever this gorgeous sedan passed by, there was a burst of bright and bright waves. The jewels inlaid and hung on the sedan reflected the light of the sky and the night, and rippled out circles of fish-like patterns in the water, blooming indiscriminately. Ye seemed to be cut through by the sharp blade of scissors...

Chang'an is the oldest capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here have long been accustomed to the ceremonial tents of the royal family and nobles.Therefore, although this gorgeous, dignified and majestic soft sedan gave off an unparalleled momentum, it did not make anyone too surprised.Soon, someone in the laughing crowd recognized that it was Princess Taiping's sedan chair.

And this sacred and prosperous embroidered sedan chair, which is like clouds and fog in the night, is now heading for the residence of the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chengqi!

Miao Miao, who was blown by a night wind, slowly lifted the jeweled sedan chair curtain, revealing the beautiful face of Princess Taiping inside.

She frowned slightly, her expression seemed indifferent, but the phosphorous fire accumulated in the depths of her eyes echoed the left and right thoughts and mixed feelings in her heart at this moment...

Taiping has been having a hard time these days. Although her current status is already below one person and above ten thousand people, and she even has a faint feeling that she is about to match the emperor, but the glamorous appearance cannot save her from the torment in her heart!

The thicker the taste of power as thick as honey, the more it buried a sharp and sharp double-edged sword that would kill her by surprise at any time!On the one hand, she couldn't figure out the emperor's mind. She didn't know how much true friendship the fourth emperor brother, who had always been calm and mature, had cultivated her in this way.

On the other hand...she knows the taste by taste, and after being infected with the opium of power and this penetrating poison, she is determined not to let go so easily!

When Emperor Wu was around, Taiping's wings were not yet full. She needed the protection of her mother, and at the same time, she was looking for a big tree to enjoy the shade. It is like Li Dan, the king of the prime minister, who is one for the country and the other for the town, and he bears the same favor and influence. After all, it is not enough to rely on one person to gain power; With higher rights, and the increasingly clear right to openly participate in politics, she suddenly gained power, and no one inside or outside the Tang Palace can match her power!

Except... Li Longji.

In Taiping, she felt that she had been nourished by the water and soil of the Tang Dynasty. The peony, which was rich and powerful, bloomed overnight into a beautiful and charming poppy flower!She is greedy for this kind of feeling, such boundless power makes her worry so terribly that she will end up as a dead dog, a wild ghost and lonely soul, and at the same time, she wants to drink poison to quench her thirst and it is really hard to stop!Having tasted the great sweetness, she changed from the humble style of acting during Zhongzong's period, and she no longer wanted to bear it, and no longer wanted to continue to play the role of an ostrich...

Life is only less than a hundred years, so why do you have to suffer so much so that you can't be happy?

The intense sense of worrying about gains and losses makes her panic and surprise, and because she is too happy and greedy, she becomes more and more dizzy with worries about gains and losses!

She was really scared, she was afraid that if she lost this right in the future, she would end up with the same result as Shangguan Wan'er, Queen Wei Anle and other too many sacrifices!Therefore, she has to hold on, and do everything she can to stabilize her position, so that this foundation is so deep that even if the emperor or others want to eradicate it, she will still be unmoved at every turn, and there is nothing she can do!

And the person who is most likely to make her lose this right now, and who she wants to meet in the future will definitely fight against her is Li Longji...

It doesn't matter if it's fate, or it doesn't matter if it's ruthless, or it doesn't matter if it uses a method as cool as that of getting rid of the man it loves back then, Lai Junchen, it doesn't matter what you say!There is such a certainty in Taiping's heart that Li Longji must not be allowed to become the prince!Li Longji, who is also a hero of the coup, must not be allowed to restrict each other with her aunt, and this situation cannot be allowed to return to the situation where she and Li Dan were evenly divided during Zhongzong's time!

In other words, she is unwilling to restrict each other and share power with Longji.She wants to be the only one, to take over the outline of the government by herself, to become the unique Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty, to become a strong woman who is the same as her mother but more respected in virtue than her mother, and to gain absolute power!

But Li Longji's foundation and influence are profound nowadays; after many years of intersection, she has also experienced Longji's personality and decisive way of doing things, his meticulous mind and extremely deep city.How to control this situation and curb the trend of supporting the third prince Longji to become the prince?

There is no way...

The breakthrough for making a knot and plunging in lies with the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chengqi!

Regardless of Li Dan's intentions, he directly proposed in the court that day that there were two candidates for the crown prince, and the eldest son, Cheng Qi, was also eligible.She doesn't care about her original intentions and intentions, as long as Li Dan's words are enough!

She couldn't believe that Li Chengqi, the prince who had been established as the crown prince since he was a child, and was also the first son or the eldest son, was really not at all tempted by the boundless imperial power within his reach?Is he really willing to condescend to be under his third brother in the future?

Cheng Qi's indifferent performance is because he is not a hero and has no power, so he has nothing to fight for!And if at this time, Princess Taiping is willing to use her power to push her into a weapon...

As long as Li Chengqi is used to make the two brothers choke each other, Longji's power will be temporarily fettered.In the future, Cheng Qi was promoted to the crown prince by her Princess Taiping, and finally ascended to the throne as emperor. Her Taiping is the main hero, and Cheng Qi must be very grateful to her!

She wasn't worried at all that Li Chengqi, who became the emperor, would get rid of her aunt, who was a master of merit, because at that time, even if Taiping would not bear the empress's false name, it was enough to control all the affairs of the court and let him Be a puppet emperor who obediently obeys her orders...

The turmoil of power spreads layer upon layer from afar, wrapped in the greedy ambition, and when it blows on the face, it brings a burst of subtle ripples.Taiping raised his hand, and hung down the curtain of the jade sedan chair that was blown away by the night wind, with the flowers and willows in it.In the gloomy field of vision, the boundless brilliance and smoky smoke fell into the narrow, long, bright and sharp Danfeng eyes of this plump and beautiful princess...
