Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Tai Chi Palace is the most stuffy, with ice basins placed in the four corners, the ice cubes slowly melt, and the sound of dripping, dripping, dripping echoes in the empty halls.

Li De stared at Yaoying for the first time, her eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyes wrinkled with small lines.

Yaoying noticed his suspicion and vigilance, and her face was as usual.

She knew that Li De was suspicious and shouldn't have said these things to him, but the matter was already here, she was about to marry away, and there was nothing to worry about.

Before leaving, she had to make plans for Li Zhongqian and Xie Guifei.

"Aye." Yaoying looked directly at the gloomy emperor before Long An, "Back then, you and the Xie family reached an alliance, and promised that if you can achieve great cause, you will be rich and rich with the Xie family, and Xie Jiaqing's whole family will recruit for you. , To help you recover Wei Jun, unite with the Zheng family, Cui family, Xue family, and Zhao family to elect you as the general. This is the second account."

Li De said nothing.

Yaoying paused, and said, "My uncle Xie Wuliang is dead. The old, young woman and child of the Xie family committed suicide by taking poison. There is no blood left in the Xie family. The Xie clan that you allied with back then is gone... but my mother-in-law is still alive. She is the daughter of the Xie family, my brother is the granddaughter of the Xie family, and I am the granddaughter of the Xie family."

She said word by word, "I, Li Yaoying, as Xie's granddaughter, ask Wei Jun Li De to fulfill the promise that year."

Li De squinted his eyes, his expression becoming more and more grim.

Yaoying went on to say: "Uncle once instructed Brother not to rely on the old sentiment to ask for anything from the Holy Spirit, because he understands that the Holy Spirit has long had the heart to break the contract. Forcing the Holy Spirit to fulfill his promise will only anger the Holy Spirit, let My mother-in-law and brother-in-law’s life is even more sad."

"Uncle is a gentleman, he has the world in his mind, and he has the heart to support the community. He always considers the overall situation and does not take his own gains and losses into his heart."

Yaoying paused, her cold gaze fell on Li De's face: "My uncle has a broad mind. It's not the reason for your dishonesty."

…

Xie Wuliang is good at acquaintances. He only saw Li De back then. He immediately decided that this down-and-out man was a hero who could break the pattern of the Central Plains separatist regime, and he was willing to form an alliance with the Li family.

But he firmly opposed his sister Xie Man's willingness to marry Li De.

The Xie family’s direct descendant Ding withered, Xie Wuliang brothers and sisters have been dependent on each other since childhood, Xie Manyuan has never taken a step outside Jingnan, innocent and innocent, and questioned his brother: "Since Li De is an unparalleled hero in the world, why shouldn’t the clan elders be allowed to marry him? Don’t you always sigh that our family doesn’t have anyone who can lead the war?"

Xie Wuliang replied: "Sister, Li Deneng is good at fighting, rigorously governing the army, good at winning people's hearts, daring to break the barriers and reuse the poorest children. I am willing to follow him and assist him. He will surely achieve great deeds in the future and become a prudent and cautious man. A good king, but that doesn’t mean that he is a good husband. Besides, I have inherited the family for a hundred years, guarding one side, and sheltering the people. I am already extremely noble, and I don’t need to be a foreign relative to seek wealth and glory."

Xie Manyuan said anxiously: "How did Brother know that Li De is not a good husband? His wife was born in a humble background and died in the war. He desperately tried to avenge his wife. Everyone said he was a man of love and justice."

Xie Wuliang shook his head and sighed: "Sister, you don't understand Li De. His love and justice are only for his subordinates and his obedience."

Xie Manyuan didn't understand Xie Wuliang's worries, thinking that all this was an excuse for his brother's refusal to marry, and was depressed.

Seeing that his sister had not been persuaded, Xie Wuliang turned to persuade other people from the tribe: "Li De is from a wealthy clan. Since he started his army, he has always used in-laws and generals who are dependent on the Li family. Assisting him, he will definitely be extremely glorious in the future, but if the Xie family wants to go further as an in-law, it will only bring disasters."

"Er Niang can marry Li De's younger brother, Li De's nephew, but you can't marry Li De!"

"To marry Li De, it is tantamount to taking chestnuts out of the fire!"

The Xie clan believed that Xie Wuliang was totally unfounded and worried, and Li De took the initiative to marry him. What's the trouble? Insist on marrying the Li family.

Xie Manyuan's love for the first time is open, and he is obsessed with Li De, because he does not eat or drink, and he looks thin and thin.

The Li family begged Xie Wuliang again and again, and vowed that if she could enter the door with a full willingness to welcome her, she would definitely respect her and not let her suffer any wrongdoing.

Xie Wuliang has only such a sister like Xie Manyuan. She really can't bear to see her face in tears every day. Seeing the sincere attitude of the Li family, she can only agree to let her get married.

"Well, as long as Brother is in one day, he can protect you for one day."

On the day of the wedding banquet, Tang and Li Xuanzhen's mother and son suddenly appeared at the banquet. Xie Manyuan was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Xie Wuliang took Xie Manyuan away, sighed, and told her: "Sister, remember, don't embarrass Madam Tang and her son. You embarrass their mother and son, Li De will not alienate you, but he will do everything Keep this in mind until the day he can't bear it."

Xie Manyuan was in a state of confusion, remembering his brother's instructions. Although he inevitably quarreled with Tang in the inner house, he never harmed their mother and son.

No one thought that the Tang family would set himself on fire and die while pregnant.

When she died, Li De turned his head all night, completely indifferent and thankful.

Xie Manyuan is discouraged.

Xie Wuliang found her sister again, and told her tirelessly over and over again: "Sister, don't talk about the covenant of the year with the general. Remember, don't mention a word!"

Three years later, Xie Wuliang, who was frail and sickly, clung to Jingnan with a frail body.

When the city was broken, he asked his subordinates to cut off their heads to sacrifice their enemies.

"Tell Erniang, don't be sad for me, Xie Jiaerlang, it should be so!"

"Er Niang, Brother Brother will never be able to protect you anymore. Take good care of yourself, take care of Hu Nu and Qiniang, don't let Hu Nu use martial arts, and don't talk about covenants with Li De."

"Brother is gone."

…

It has been a full eleven years since the collapse of the Xie family.

Yaoying understood why Xie Wuliang left such last words.

Because he understands Li De.

The Tang family is dead, and the covenant between Li and Xie has become a reminder for Concubine Xie. Only by not mentioning the matter as much as possible can the mother and son save their lives.

Concubine Xie did not mention it, Li Zhongqian did not mention it, and Li De would not expose his own scars.

They all seem to have forgotten their promises back then.

The former family members of the Xie family in the DPRK knew Li De's taboos, and they tacitly refused to mention the Xie family.

Everyone forgot about Xie's family.

Forget the Erlang Xie family sacrificed on the battlefield for generations.

Forget the heroic soul of a foreign land.

Forget the green tomb where Jingnan Xie’s family ancestor’s tomb was lush and grassy.

Forget about Xie Wuliang, who was still working hard to put down the troubled times, even though he was sick and weak since childhood.

Yaoying didn't forget.

Not only because she is the granddaughter of the Xie family, but also because she was born in troubled times, grew up in troubled times, and lived out when she was five years old. She has seen too many instantaneous separation of flesh and blood, life and death.

The mountains and rivers are broken, and sorrow is everywhere.

Yaoying is also a member who is struggling to survive in this turbulent world. She admires the Zhu family who turned the tide in the past, admires the Xie family, whose ancestors have sacrificed their lives to go to the country and regard death as home, and admires the weak and indestructible Kuang Fu She Jizhi. Zhi's uncle Xie Wuliang.

It is precisely because of the ancestors of the Zhu family, the Xie family, and countless heroes who stood up resolutely and sprinkled their blood to protect the people at the time of the fall of the mountains and rivers, so that they can exchange peace and tranquility for the people. good.

Some people admire the Xie family.

However, more people could not understand the Xie family’s ancestral instructions. They laughed at the Xie family’s ancestors for generations of pedantry and loyalty. They laughed at the Xie’s family for not knowing how to plan for themselves. They only knew that they would lead soldiers to fight. The decline caused Xie Wuliang, a family prince, to put down his figure and interact with the businessman, and his body was full of bronze odors.

Yaoying once thought that if her uncle Xie Wuliang was still alive, she would definitely persuade her uncle to protect herself and persuade him to make more plans for the Xie family.

Because she is just an ordinary person who wants to live well with her relatives.

Xie Wuliang would not follow her advice, he would just laugh it off.

Xie Jiaerlang is not a person who is greedy of life and fear of death.

Fight for the family and the country, and die well.

For the world, for the common people, for the people of Li, but not for yourself.

Such a Xie family has completely cut off his blood.

Like smoke disappeared, like clouds scattered.

Today, eleven years later, Yaoying is standing in front of Li De, standing on the broad hall of the Liangyi Hall, saying every word: "Holy Lord, I am not asking you for mercy as a girl from the Li family, but As the granddaughter of the Xie family, ask for justice from the loyal king of the Xie family!"

"My mother-in-law is the only bloodline of the Xie family in this world. My uncle doesn't ask for anything else. I just hope you can treat my mother-in-law well. You vowed to take good care of my mother-in-law, saint, have you done it?"

Every word is weeping blood, and there is a sound.

Li De didn't say a word, but looked at Yaoying quietly.

The censer continued to spit out puffs of light cigarettes.

Yaoying was exhausted, her body trembled, she stood firm, and then said: "The third bill is for my brother."

The corner of her mouth twitched: "Aye, back then, the Li family members supported making my brother the elder son. Empress Tang and my mother-in-law were fighting for this. My daughter would like to ask you a word."

Li De's face was still gloomy, but the scrutiny in the phoenix eyes gradually faded, replaced by surprise and some other things: "What does Qiniang want to ask?"

Yaoying's face was calm: "Aye, from beginning to end, haven't you ever thought about making my brother a prince?"

Li De was startled, and his expression became more shocked.

Yaoying sneered: "Sure enough."

She looked sarcastically: "Aye is good at calculating. From the moment you know that Empress Tang and the elder brother are still alive, you have assumed that the eldest brother is your heir, but at that time you have not recovered your vitality, you have to rely on the Xie family. , You are afraid that the Xie family will harm Empress Tang and deliberately neglect Empress Tang, so that my mother-in-law thinks you have her in your heart."

This is one of the reasons Xie Guifei went crazy afterwards: she thought Li De loved her.

"Later, Aye was full of wings and didn't need to be afraid of the Xie family. At that time, you already had the support of your family. There were constant conflicts between the poor family who took refuge in you and the family. My brother’s grandfather is the Xie family. My brother and eldest brother made a choice to paralyze the family and balance the family and the poor."

Everything Li De does has far-reaching considerations. For the sake of the overall situation, he can sacrifice everything, even dragging the young Li Zhongqian and the young Li Xuanzhen into the muddy waters of the dispute between the sons of the world.

Yaoying closed her eyes: "Poor my brother, I always thought that Aye had really high hopes for him. In order to get a compliment from Aye, he read poetry and diligently practice martial arts every day... It turns out that he has a vain name... "

Li Zhongqian always thought that his dispute with Li Xuanzhen led to the death of the Tang family, which made Li De loathe him and Concubine Xie. As a young man, he was depressed and suffering because of this, but he didn't know that all this was just Li De's strategy!

The emperor's heart is so cruel.

In the previous dynasty, the Zhu family was destroyed by the family. Li Xuanzhen had always been jealous of the family and never really trusted the family. In order to suppress the family, even the Tang family and Li Xuanzhen became pawns in his hands.

He has only loved one woman from the Tang family in his life. He loves her, respects her, and uses her.

The humble concubine Rong in the harem is also a chess piece of Li De. Most of his concubines are family daughters, and people like Concubine Rong are used to balance the harem.

Yaoying stood in front of Long's case, and his eyes fell on Li De's white temples.

"Li De, as your children, this is the greatest sorrow of my brother and me in this life."

Li De smiled faintly, seeming to laugh at himself, and at the same time seeming not to care.

Yaoying didn’t care about his reaction, “As a king, he can be ruthless, unscrupulous, brazen, and brutal to achieve his goals. As long as he can convince the people, he can maintain the rule of long-term stability, and he can govern. If the people are fed and dressed warmly, he does not have to worry about being overthrown."

"In the previous dynasty, the Zhu family was eager to get rid of the constraints of the family, and tried to suppress the family by reforming the government, promoting the poor, and vigorously recommending the imperial examination system. As a result, the family was overwhelmed by the family. , But it is the rebellious family that really perishes the Zhu family."

If it weren't for the uprisings of the wealthy and powerful families everywhere, how could the Emperor be forced to flee south and die at the hands of the rebels?

Yaoying looked at Li De: "Aye, the moment you reached an agreement with the Xie family, you have already figured out how to suppress the Xie family. Even if there is no Empress Tang, my mother-in-law will still be ignored by you, my brother is destined I can't get your favorite."

Li De put away his smile, but did not say a word for a while.

Yaoying met him with deep eyes that couldn't see the joy or anger, her eyes lighted like a pool of still water: "Holy, how are you going to pay these accounts?"

A bright beam of light diffused through the mullioned window, fell into the gloomy hall, and hung over Yaoying.

As if the quiet night was sinking, floating light haze, full of pear blossoms blooming in the melting moonlight night.

In the heavens on earth, the silver and the clouds shine through.

Li De looked at Yaoying and suddenly thought of someone.
