Love Affairs in Chang'an

Chapter 346



The main hall of Taiji palace in the imperial city is decorated with lanterns and colorful weapons. Incense is burned on the altar for several feet. Everything is ready for the wedding. Civil and military officials are stepping into the hall to attend the ceremony.

However, the chariots and horses for the wedding did not enter the imperial palace. Seeing that the auspicious time for the ceremony was coming, most people were anxious.

In Chang'an City, many people who heard the news of today's Princess Gaoyang's wedding also gathered around the market early, ready to see a good bustle. It was already a sea of people, directly from the Zhuque gate to the emperor's son-in-law's Qin house.

Before long, even the Emperor Li Shimin and Yinde's concubine also came, and the Dragon Robe was crowned with a crown of glory, sitting under the canopy. Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning: "why haven't you come yet? Are you going to miss the time? What does Zongzheng Temple do? Chu suiliang, go and have a look on your horse and hurry up. "

"Yes." Chu suiliang answered the call and left.

Chu suiliang drove his horse out of the Zhuque gate of the imperial palace. From a distance, he heard a roar of laughter coming from the West Street. Many people gathered in a crowd, and the crowd was packed. One after another, he cried, "let the bridegroom come out to see the guests.".

The big matchmaker is Li daozong, king of Jiangxia. He wears a big red flowery robe, rides on a horse and leads a team of soldiers to open the way. The smiling passer-by bows his hands and says, "folks, you've eaten the sugar and the fruit. Please give me a step? Don't miss a good time

"No! How can the bridegroom hide in the sedan chair? It's always been the bride, right? What's more, the emperor's son-in-law of Qin is a military officer. How can we not come out on a high horse and let us be happy? "

"Ha ha, folks, forgive me. It's the custom of the old Qin family in Shandong. The Duke of Yiguo specially asked him to make this arrangement. Xiao Wang can't make the decision, and his son-in-law can't please his father!" Li daozong said with a smile, "just make it convenient for you to let the welcoming team pass. The auspicious time is coming. Don't wait for the bride and the distinguished guests

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but it was not allowed.

Chu suiliang saw the scene and immediately came forward to say, "Lord, how can you be so slow? Your majesty has ordered your humble position to urge you. The auspicious time is coming. "

Then the crowd burst out laughing and let the king of Jiangxia lead the sedan chair of Qin mubai.

Li daozong breathed a long breath, arched his hand to laugh and rode by.

Chu suiliang was as careful as a hair. Seeing that Li daozong seemed to have a different look, he quickly patted and immediately came forward and said in a low voice, "Lord, what's the matter with you?"

"What's the worry? Let's go. Don't say much! " Li daozong clapped his horse. Look forward to yourself.

Chu suiliang raised a cloud of doubt in his heart. He gazed at the bridegroom's sedan chair. He didn't ask much, so he had to keep up.

When the welcoming party entered the gate of Zhuque, Li daozong called Chu suiliang to his pants and said in a low voice, "it's bad!"

"Oh?" Chu suiliang was stunned: sure enough!

"Your horse is fast. Let your majesty know. Just say Mubai, missing! Let your majesty find a way to calm the situation. Just now in Chang'an City, Xiao Wang managed to suppress the situation without making a fool of himself. The Taiji palace is full of people and martial arts waiting for mubai. Don't make things big! "

"Here!..." Chu suiliang suddenly had some silly eyes, "how did the bridegroom disappear at this juncture? Don't say it's man Dynasty. I'm afraid the whole world is staring at the brown wedding

"Stop gossiping. You should report to your majesty first." Li daozong waved, "go quickly! Xiao Wang here to delay time, let the wedding team around the Imperial City, can delay for a while. Let your majesty send someone to look for Qin mubai! "

"You say that, don't you Is Qin mubai in the palace

"Say it, and your majesty will know what to do!"

"Well, I'll go at once!"

Chu suiliang was also clever. Instead of taking the avenue of Taiji palace, he went around the palace and asked a little eunuch to invite Li Shimin, who was sitting on the main hall of Taiji palace.

Li Shimin was already eight points unhappy. When he saw Chu suiliang's face, he said, "what's the matter with Qin mubai? The auspicious time has come, but he doesn't want to be the kiss

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chu suiliang quickly repelled him and whispered anxiously in Li Shimin's ear.

After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows: "is there such a thing? "

" the king of Jiangxia said so. He must not be a free talker

"That's ridiculous!" Li Shimin was so angry that he bit his teeth and said, "under my eyelids, someone dares to kidnap my son-in-law!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. According to the Qin family, the emperor's son-in-law of Qin suddenly disappeared last night after his majesty announced him to the palace. In this way, the emperor's son-in-law of Qin may be Trapped in the palace Chu suiliang said.

"What? How can it be Li Shimin was surprised and angry, and said, "yesterday I announced that he was going to the palace to tell him about the great victory in Lanzhou, so that he could get married at ease. Afterwards, I had a few drinks with him. When I had drunk more, I sent the child slave to take him home. I didn't arrest him. Is he a child slave? It's impossible

"Your Majesty, why don't you announce the king of Jin, and you'll know when you ask?""Come on, pass on Lizhi!"

Li Zhi is also in Taiji palace to attend the wedding, and Shao Qing calls. Li Shimin immediately asked, "young slave, I ask you - did you send your teacher home yesterday, or did you send someone home?"

"No, No." Li Zhi seldom saw that Li Shimin was so angry. He was a little upset and said, "my son sent two eunuchs, Dong Hua and Zhao Ming, to take him home. What happened to my teacher? "

"Where is Dong Hua and Zhao Ming now?"

"I went to see someone off yesterday, but no one has come back yet."

"What?" Li Shimin's eyes glared and angrily said, "you idiot! Why can't we do things all the time? It's just that you didn't send Qin mubai to the mansion in person. If you send someone to send him home, you have to get a reply from your servant. How do you do things when you don't get paid back? "

Several thunders made Li Zhi tremble all over. He knelt down immediately and said in panic: "father, forgive me! I'm going to find Dong and Zhao, and find my teacher! "

"Not yet! ——Wait a minute. You are not good at handling affairs. Chu suiliang, go with him! "

"Yes." Chu suiliang answered the promise, stepped forward to help Li Zhi and was ready to leave.

Just at this time, two eunuchs rushed in like ants in a hot pot. Li Shimin was very angry when he saw that the two eunuchs broke in without thinking and integrity. He was about to yell at them angrily. When he saw that they were the two most stable eunuchs in charge of yeting, he held down his anger and asked, "what's the matter? I'm afraid I don't have integrity!"

"Your Majesty, the matter is not good!" The chief eunuch of Neiyuan, the eunuch song, was white faced and trembling. He came forward and whispered eagerly.

In the middle of hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes almost straightened and his face turned red and white.

Before the song's manager had finished his words, Li Shimin let out a cry of surprise, raised his hands and leaned over.

"Ah! Your majesty! "

A room full of people, a mess

After a long time.

Just as the master of ceremonies on the altar wanted to raise his voice of "auspicious time has arrived", Chu suiliang immediately appeared and stopped him, saying: "just now, your majesty suddenly suffered from an emergency, and he cried several times and fainted to the ground. For some reason, the ceremony will take sand for the time being, and it will be decided on another day! "

"Ah

The Taiji hall was suddenly fried!

"Your Majesty suddenly fainted?! This How can this be good! "

"Don't panic, everyone!" Chang sun Wuji was the first to stand up. When he pressed his hands, everyone was silent.

Chang Sun Wu Ji looked around with satisfaction and said, "I am most familiar with your majesty. I know that although your majesty is always healthy, he has inherited syncope. Maybe it's a lot of work recently. Today, I've been waiting too long. I've had a cold wind, so I feel OK. I've fainted for a while, and I'm not sure I'm ok. We are all officials of the state, and we should attach importance to the overall situation. Your Majesty's fainting should not be reported to the public, so as not to disturb the people and cause unnecessary trouble. "

"What Chang Sun Xiang Gong said is what he said, and what he said is what he said." All agree.

"Now your majesty has fainted. The marriage between the princess and her son-in-law can not be done without his majesty. Therefore, the ceremony had to be postponed temporarily. It doesn't matter. It's a long way to go! Now, you should go to Taiji hall first, but you can't go out of the palace. You should wait for the news in the Yamen of the imperial city. I don't know. Your majesty will wake up soon. Today is an auspicious day with many good days. I'll wait for the sky warden to choose another auspicious time. "

"Everything depends on the instructions of my eldest grandson." All the generals had no objection. They were dispersing one after another. No one dares to whisper.

Seeing this scene, Chang sun Wuji secretly breathed a long breath and looked at Chu suiliang. Chu suiliang gave him a look, and they knew it. After all the officials dispersed one after another, they came to Taiji palace in a hurry.

Li Shimin lay flat on the Royal couch, his eyes closed and his face turned pale. The two royal doctors were waiting on the side of the Royal couch, cutting the pulse to diagnose. Chu suiliang and Chang sun Wuji came into the room and first inquired about his illness. They were relieved to learn that his Majesty was OK. They thought to themselves that the emperor was resourceful and resourceful. If it had not been for his sudden fall, he would have postponed the wedding. If it's time for the bridegroom not to show up, the wedding can't be held. It's bound to spread the scandal. That's really chaos.

Two people hold back left and right, kneel down in front of the imperial couch.

"Your Majesty, your majesty." Chang sun Wuji called softly.

After calling for more than ten times, Li Shimin awoke. He turned his head slightly to see the left and right people. He closed his eyes and gave out a deep sigh, which seemed to have infinite disappointment and resentment.

"What happened?" Changsun Wuji asked softly.

Li Shimin gently raised his hand and pointed to Chu suiliang: "ask him. I can't say it. "

"Ah?" Chang sun Wuji was surprised.

Chu suiliang arched his hand and was about to say it. Li Shimin suddenly said, "don't say it in front of me!"

"Yes..."

They had to retreat to the screen peak and whisper for a while. After hearing this, Chang sun Wuji almost fell to the ground."That's good!" He couldn't help crying out.

"What can I do?" Li Shimin roared angrily, "kill! Kill them all! If you don't leave one, chop it into meat mud and feed it to the dog! I don't want to see anyone again! Anyone who knows will be killed! "

Changsun Wuji and Chu suiliang suddenly felt cold all over! ——We are all insiders!

The emperor, who has always attached great importance to Jun Yi and never lightly killed him, is really too stimulated today to say such cruel words!

They looked at each other in cold sweat, walked to Li Shimin's couch and knelt down. Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is something strange. Why not ask again? "

"Check it out!" Li Shimin said angrily, "no matter how to find out, no matter what the truth is, it's also the disgrace of my family! There's no need to check, kill

"So, isn't it a trick?" Chu suiliang's cold words suddenly solidified Li Shimin's expression.

"Treacherous scheme?" In his fury, Li Shimin finally found a little square inch. He reached for Chang sun Wuji to lift him up a bit and put his back on the pillow. He gazed at Chu suiliang and said, "who is so bold as to calculate my son-in-law in my harem? It is clear that Qin mubai mistakenly entered yeting after he was drunk, and he did such things after drinking. There were also four eunuchs' corpses at the scene. They were Dong Zhao, who sent him out of the palace, and the eunuch order of the gate guard in yeting. As Qin mubai. They didn't dare to disobey what they were ordered to do. At the time of the incident, they had to stop them. With Qin mubai's skill, it was easier to kill the four castrates without any blood. What can we say now that the traitors are caught in bed? "

"Sire, the more reasonable things are, the more unreasonable they are." Chu suiliang was not in a hurry to argue. He said softly, "Your Majesty, please think that Qin mubai, who had been working in Baiqi for a long time, knew all the things in the harem like the palm of his hand, and most of the concubines in the harem knew him. Even if Qin mubai did something after drinking. Why did the two concubines sleep with him until dawn, and did not escape afterwards? What's more, there are thousands of palace maids and eunuchs living in yeting. They can also have ears in three or five rooms. How can there be no action in killing and raping, but it's only at dawn that someone will catch the rapist in bed. Isn't it too coincidental? "

After hearing this, Li Shimin picked his eyebrows and pondered for a long time.

Chang sun Wuji thought for a moment and said, "only at this moment, don't spread the news. Make sure to block the back palace, no one is allowed to go in and out. It's reported that your majesty has felt cold and suddenly fainted. The wedding was held on another auspicious day. In this way, we can cover up the public opinions for a while, and your majesty will have time to find out the matter. "

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "it's so good. The auxiliary machine, the place of civil and military officials, is up to you to pacify. When they were separated, the Beijing officials returned home and the foreign officials stayed in the hotel. After a few days, another wedding was held. Chu suiliang, go and invite Fang Xuanling. "

"Yes." They agreed and retreated.

Li Shimin was alone on the Royal couch, his painful eyes closed tightly, he punched his forehead and shook his head. He said to himself, "what's the matter? Li family, Qin mubai and ling'er, are they cursed? This couple's marriage can be so tortuous, ah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before long, Fang Xuanling came.

Fang Xuanling is the most resourceful man in the world. Du Ruhui has gone. Li Shimin is always glad to have Fang Xuanling around him. Now such a thing has happened, involving family ugliness, he only dares to discuss with Fang Xuanling, who has always been the most calm and experienced Minister. Although Chang sun Wuji was his brother-in-law, he lacked wisdom and resourcefulness, and Chu suiliang was his confidant. But after all, he was young and didn't know about the harem. Fang Xuanling is the only one who is resourceful and has a deep impression on the affairs of the harem. In her early years, when empress Chang sun was alive, he was also empress Chang sun's think tank.

Now, in such a case, we just listen to his opinions.

Fang Xuanling bowed and was given a seat by Li Shimin. He is as calm as water as ever. Even if something big happens, it's hard to see anything strange on his old face.

"Your Majesty has summoned me. What's the matter?"

"Xuanling This time, though I was still dead, I have no face to live. " Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

"Why did your majesty say that?" Fang Xuanling asked softly.

Li Shimin was a bit embarrassed. Ashamed to speak, he told Fang Xuanling the story briefly.

Fang Xuanling heard it, but he didn't move.

Now Li Shimin was surprised. He said, "Xuanling has known for a long time. You can't be surprised by such things."

Fang Xuanling's expression stagnated for a moment, arched his hand, and said in a low voice: "my Lord, I have already known, and I still..."

"What else?" Li Shimin was very surprised.

"I also know the truth and the context of the matter. And, he has long been the real murderer. The capture is in hand. "

"What?" Li Shimin was shocked. He jumped up from his couch and said, "Xuanling, this is not a joke. You can't just talk about it."

Fang Xuanling's face was as pale as ashes. He bowed his hands and knelt down. He touched the ground with his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the real murderer is Fang Xuanling. Please punish him!"Li Shimin was petrified. All the expressions were frozen and the body was stiff.

Standing on your feet, kneeling on your knees, the picture is like a freeze frame.

"Xuanling, I'll say it again! It's a matter of child's play. Don't talk about it casually! "

"I have followed your majesty for more than 20 years, and I never dare to deceive you. Qin mubai was framed. It was Fang Xuanling himself who committed the crime. Your majesty, please be punished After that, Fang Xuanling took off his black hat from his head and put it aside. He knelt down again with his head on the ground.

With a plop, Li Shimin was really dizzy. He fell heavily on the Royal couch.

Yeting palace, in the house where the crime happened.

Inside and outside, there were more than ten stories of soldiers of the imperial guards. The door of the room was closed. The bodies of four eunuchs in the room had not been cleaned up. The room smelled of wine and blood. The two "victimized" concubines have been taken away by the eunuch of the Department of punishment in yeting to be taken care of separately. Qin mubai sits alone in the room.

Looking at the painting of incense in the imperial case of autumn moon by Wang Lide, a great court painter, on the wallboard, Qin mubai is as motionless as a clay sculpture.

It is useless to call regret when things have happened. Only now, is to find a way to live.

After waking up, Qin mubai understood what he had done. The inner storehouse is empty. I didn't know how many times I fell down with the two coquettish fox spirits last night. My legs are weak.

But he didn't remember the details. He didn't even know how he was here.

It's obvious that I was in the way of others yesterday. It's very likely that it's because you've been drugged, and then you've been drugged with a strong aphrodisiac.

Anyway, it's an indisputable fact that he gave up the concubines of the two Wude emperors.

Li Shimin's fake mother, let himself give Whenever he thought of this, Qin mubai felt great pressure and headache.

He pondered over his situation. I think the worst situation is that I was cut into tens of millions of pieces to feed the bastard in the Taiye pool, and then the whole Qin family was left alone. Next, it may be princess Gaoyang's death, Wu Meiniang's widowhood or remarriage, and being scolded by the whole world. Although there is no skeleton left, Qin mubai will be killed by the sword. Qin mubai has a long history

As mentioned above, I'll feel better if I wipe my neck with a knife.

However, Qin mubai was never a person who gave up easily and would die.

Now that you've prepared for the worst. Why don't you try your best to fight it?

Fight is not necessarily successful, do not fight must die without a burial place!

……

The four corpses were frozen there. Qin mubai turned to look at them and had a little impulse to wake them up and ask for the truth.

"I don't know. What is linger doing now? They put me under house arrest, and I don't know what they want? At this time, the emperor should know. It's time for my wedding. I don't know what the mess will be like... " Qin mubai looked at himself and laughed at himself indifferently. "Damn, I'm dying, and I'm worried about eating salty radish! Fortunately, these eunuchs in yeting are familiar with Baiqi and jinwuwei. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be dismembered just now! Now every second you live, you pick it up. "

Just at this time, there was a noise outside the house. The special sound of iron armor shaking made the soldiers move together.

someone whispered, "how did your highness come?"

"Why can't I come? You are my husband! " The voice of Princess Gaoyang is aloof and arrogant!

"Princess highness, please forgive me! At the moment, no one can see the son-in-law! " It was Qin Tong's voice.

"Big brother! It's your third brother in there! " Princess Gaoyang said harshly, "do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know." Qin Tong's voice was filled with impatience, annoyance and anger. But at the moment, first I'm the Deputy envoy of Baiqi, then his elder brother. If he commits a crime, I will not forgive him! If the princess comes, I can't let her in! "

"What did you say?"

"Just like when mubai didn't let you into the palace to disturb your Majesty's nap! Today, unless the princess cuts Qin Tong with her hand and steps on Qin Tong's body, Qin Tong will never let the princess in! "

With a bang, a sharp weapon came out of its sheath!

"princess, don't do anything stupid!"

Qin mubai's heart was tight, and of course he knew what Princess Gaoyang had done.

A blood wedding robe, she stabbed a short dagger in her neck, already bleeding.

The bright red blood flows down from the snow like powder neck, which is a little bit more red than the wedding robe.

"Get out of the way, or collect the body for me, you choose!"

"princess, don't force me!"

"Qin Tong, you are still the eldest son of Qin family!" Princess Gaoyang yelled, "I'm Li ling'er, and my surname is Li. For your third brother's sake, if you don't give up this princess and her life, you can't give up the post of deputy envoy of Baiqi?"

There was a complete silence.

Douran!"Bang!! Bang, bang With several loud noises, Qin Tong smashed his helmet and sabre on the ground. He said angrily, "get out of the way! Ben will accompany the princess into the palace! But when it comes to big and small things, you'll have to take care of them! "

The soldiers had been waiting for Qin Tong's words for a long time, and they flashed faster than he thought.

Princess Gaoyang threw a dagger and walked into the room with her long wedding gown.

When she and Qin Tong pushed the door in, Qin mubai was still sitting at the table, looking at Princess Gaoyang with a smile: "brother, ling'er, you're here."

"Close the door, big brother."

It's like a moment. Li ling'er, Princess of Gaoyang, has become the man of Dingtian!

With firm eyes and resolute expression, he gave orders to Qin Tong, just like a general commanding thousands of troops galloping across the battlefield.

Qin Tong closed the door according to his words, took a look inside the room, and then glanced at his third brother. He sighed with shame and anger, and turned his head.

"What's the point? Mubai is innocent! Mubai will be fine, Qin's will be fine, we are still husband and wife, this wedding will be held! " Gaoyang princess is almost a word. Say the following sentence firmly:

"linger will not die, mubai will die!"
