Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

The melodious and mellow music suddenly became stagnant, and the water flowed quietly, and the stringed fingers swallowed.

Hundreds of silver candles shining down the stairs were silent for a moment, and countless gazes stared at Yaoying in a daze.

Yaoying's face was calm, her slender hands held up the wine glass before the emperor's case, "Today, all the best, the young and the young, the heroes, and the warriors of all races will all come to subdue. I wish me great prosperity and prosperity, He Qinghai Yan."

After that, she dipped her nails in wine, flicked a few times at the crowd of guests, and drank a toast.

The hot wine enters the intestines, the corners of the eyes are filled with a faint redness, the spring is rippling, and the room is full of brilliance.

The courtier Wu and the officials on the second floor leaning against the window looked at her blankly. The leaders of the Zhuhu tribe were already excited and admired. congratulate.

During the banquet, everyone reacted and straightened up, saluting their heads, and Shanhu Long live.

The prince Li Xuanzhen, who was in the second seat, also put down his glass after a moment of shock, and saluted with the others.

Li De glanced at Yaoying and greeted everyone with a smile.

The atmosphere of the banquet rose to its peak at this moment.

Yaoying, who had set off the arrogance of all her sons and clouds, didn't stop, her skirt stumbling, and her maid escorted slowly around the golden lacquer screens, and ascended to the second floor.

The eyes of everyone in the hall followed her for a long time, until her shadow disappeared behind the brocade curtain that was blowing in the wind on the high platform, and she craned her neck reluctantly to stare.

The music played happily again.

Everyone whispered and talked.

The chiefs and princes of the Zhuhu tribe did not conceal their awe-inspiring expression, and asked the waiters around him: "That noble lord just now is the rumored seventh princess?"

The waiter nodded.

The chiefs exchanged a suddenly realized look: It really is stunning, no wonder Ye Lu is willing to hire Liangzhou, you must know that the Murong clan, He clan, and Ashina clan now entrenched in Liangzhou are not good crops.

On the high platform on the second floor, the concubines, concubines, imperial wives and noble ladies looked at Yaoying, who looked like a goddess in the candlelight, with complex expressions on their faces.

Without squinting, Yaoying walked to the window, sat at a table by herself, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Li Zhongqian is not there, no one dared to prevent her from drinking.

The princess Zheng Biyu sighed and looked downstairs, and found that Li Xuanzhen got up and left the table and walked towards the apse under the guidance of a court lady.

What is he going to do in the apse?

Without waiting for her to think about it, a maid walked to her side and whispered: "Lady, Princess Fukang is gone!"

Zheng Biyu was taken aback for a moment, then put down his wine glass: "It's gone?"

The maid looked terrified: "Today, the sacred decree ordered the princess to go to a banquet. His Royal Highness sent someone to the princess mansion, and the princess must be there, saying that the seventh princess will ask for marriage in public, so that she does not have to be afraid. After waiting for a long time, the princess did not go out. The slave entered the house boldly and found out that the princess did not know when she secretly left through the back window!"

Zheng Biyu gave a thud in his heart.

Now that the Seventh Princess hasn't taken the initiative to ask for marriage, and the engagement between Zhu Luyun and Chief Yelu has not been terminated, why did she run away?

Could it be that she didn't believe that Li Xuanzhen helped her find a solution, and was afraid of getting married, so she ran away?

Zheng Biyu felt more headaches the more he thought about it, and ordered the maid: "Send all the guards to secretly inspect the whereabouts of the princess, the princess mansion, the places where the princess often goes, and the places where the prince often goes. Look for them all carefully, and you can't miss any of them! "

The maid nodded and responded. Before she could get up and spread the word, there were two abrupt sound of the falling of the wine bottle downstairs.

I don't know when the music stopped.

The atmosphere is solemn and tense.

Zheng Biyu motioned to the maid to silence, and listened.

There was an awkward and silent silence in the audience, and a man's question came from the sound of the burning silver candle: "I heard that Princess Fukang of your country has no intention of marrying, and has fled! Since the princess has no intention of marrying our Khan, why did she take the initiative to invite the marriage in the first place? I admire your country with all my heart, and I would like to join the clan, but the princess of your country teased and insulted our khan! Since your country broke its promise first, the Yelu Ministry does not need to keep its promise, our warriors will defend the honor of Khan to the death Please prepare your country for the battle!"

After finishing speaking, he dropped the wine bowl and turned around and left.

The princes of the other tribes immediately became restless, shouting and demanding to see Princess Fukang immediately, otherwise they would not dare to join the Wei Dynasty.

On the stage, the family members of the imperial family shivered slightly in fright.

Zheng Biyu was sweating in a hurry.

The military officials below the stage looked at each other, their expressions even uglier than those of the servants.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honghe Temple reacted quickly, got up and left the meeting, stopped Chief Yelu and several princes, and asked them to return.

Chief Yelu is over 60 years old, with long gray hair braided in thin braids and draped over his shoulders. His face is old and densely wrinkled, but his eyes are as sharp as a falcon. He wipes his greasy mouth and speaks unskilled Chinese. , Said indifferently: "If you can see Princess Fukang tonight, Ye Lu will naturally have nothing to say."

The officials tried to persuade Chief Yelu, sent people to find Princess Fukang, and urged the princess to enter the palace as soon as possible.

Jin Wuwei reported: In fact, Princess Fukang has long since disappeared. They have been looking for it all afternoon and have found nothing.

The officials were so angry and anxious that they stomped their feet with hatred.

Knowing Zhu Luyun's disappearance, several ministers in the political affairs hall looked at each other, got up and left the meeting, and avoided the Wei Pavilion.

After a while, Li De also found an excuse to retreat to the inner hall.

An official from the Ministry of Rites told what had happened: "Princess Fukang disappeared for no reason. The ministers waited outside the palace to find the princess for the whole afternoon, but no trace of the princess was found. I don't know where the Yelu tribe heard the wind."

There was an uproar in the crowd.

The ministers who were close to the East Palace immediately looked for the prince, but they didn’t see anyone, and they whispered in their hearts: Could Princess Fukang be taken away by the prince?

Prime Minister Zheng crossed his eyebrows and looked cold, and said angrily: "Princess Fukang's move is really willful! She was the one who promised the marriage in public regardless of dissuasion. Now she is also the one who is afraid of marrying and absconding. Now Ye Lu's ministry is clamoring to attack Chang'an, how will it end? ?"

Shang Shuzhong Si Shi Lang said: "Maybe the princess just went where to play, and forgot about today's banquet..."

Zheng Yu sneered: "Tonight's banquet was originally set up to celebrate the attachment of all races, Chief Yelu and Princess Fukang. Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to inform the princess. The princess didn't go out for a long time, so she wanted to go out today?"

The attendant was speechless.

Everyone held their own opinions and argued for a while.

Li De sat on the low couch and said nothing.

With the candlelight swaying, several Jin Wuwei hurriedly stepped into the inner hall and delivered a letter: "Your Majesty, Princess Fukang's close attendant found a book!"

Li De took the letter and opened it, glanced around, twitched at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the ministers: "Look at it."

Dudu Pei was the first to step forward, grabbed the letter and glanced at it, furious: "Princess Fukang really ran away!"

The other ministers leaned forward to read the letter with him, all frowning.

The letter was left by Zhu Luyun. She said that she had a nightmare every night and had trouble sleeping and eating, so she could only leave.

Governor Pei scolded.

Others heard him curse vulgarly, coughing a few times, pretending not to hear.

At this time, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette stumbled into the inner hall, trimmed the skirts of the ridicules and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Fukang will not show up again, those idiots are really going to be messed up!"

Governor Pei yelled: "The people are gone, how come you show up?"

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were dumbfounded.

The secretary, the young supervisor, pondered for a moment, and then took a step forward: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the present, we can only choose another daughter to marry."

Governor Pei fisted and captivated his sleeves: "This method has been tried long ago! Princess Fukang has arbitrarily agreed to the marriage, Ye Lu's department has been arrogant, and the number of noble women changed, they all look down on them, and insist on it Marry Princess Fukang!"

The secretary and young supervisor calmly said: "It just happened to be the grand banquet in the palace today. The married ladies and clan girls were all present. It's better to choose one of them. There are so many young girls. Maybe Ye Lu's department can look at one or two, not much. To accompany some beauties and makeup."

After hearing the words, everyone changed their colors in amazement.

The female guest chatting and laughing on the second floor is the family of the civil and military officials! It is their sister, daughter, granddaughter, granddaughter!

Who bears the heart to let his palm and pro-grassland?

Everyone scolded the secretary and the young supervisor for nonsense, but Li De showed a thoughtful look, as if he was considering the young supervisor's proposal.

Several ministers whose daughters were in their young age were sweating like the rain, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

Li De raised his head and said, "It seems that this can only be done."

The ministers were like bereaved concubines, and beads of sweat rolled down from their temples.

The servant rushed out of the inner hall and ran towards the second floor. After a while, there was a cry of fear and sobbing from the second floor.

Just as the ministers were desperate and desperate, footsteps suddenly heard outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess, please see me."

The ministers were startled.

Li De said: "Let her come in."

Yaoying answered the voice and entered the hall, facing the surprised gazes of the ministers, walked to Li De, bowed down and raised her head: "Holy, I heard that Princess Fukang was absconding, and Yelu's department was furious. With swords drawn, I can't bear to see the noble ladies panic and fear, let alone see the imperial court resurrected by this incident. I would like to surrender for Princess Fukang and her relatives."

The inner hall was quiet for a long time, and the needle drop could be heard.

Dudu Pei whispered: "Princess Seven, you are the daughter-in-law of my Pei family..."

Yaoying looked at Governor Pei.

"I am Princess Li, a citizen of the Wei Dynasty, the daughter of the sage, and a courtier of the sage..."

She paused for a moment, and her voice was sonorous: "Even though my son is a woman, he has the ambition to serve the country. I am willing to serve my country as a country, and I will not hesitate!"

The little lady's voice was soft and soft, and the words were loud, echoing above the empty inner hall, and echoing in the hearts of every minister.

The hearts of the crowd were shaking, and they were speechless for a while.

After a long while, Governor Pei said first: "Your lord, Ye Lu's family lives by water and grass. You will have to suffer later if you go out and get married."

Yaoying's back straightened: "You have no fear, no regrets."

She knelt in the hall, her eyes clear and peaceful.

"If you can't get in or go back, the plain suddenly comes and the road is super far; you carry a long sword to hold Qin Gong, and your heart is not punished; Gods are spirits, and souls are resolute as ghosts!"

"My son's uncle taught his son and his elder brother before he was alive, that he should not seek wealth, protect his family and defend the country without asking for the future."

"The uncle's family is full of heroes to protect the people, and they use flesh and blood to forge the peace and stability of the country. Although the son is a woman, he also inherits the family motto, and is willing to be loyal to the country like his uncle, and never give up."

Everyone at the scene exchanged a trembling look silently, and they were speechless for a long while.

They could also say what the Seventh Princess said, and they could be more impassioned than the Seventh Princess said.

But who can speak more truthfully than the Seventh Princess?

-Xie Wuliang, who taught the Seventh Princess and King Qin, disregarded his frail body, and ran for the peace of war throughout his life, devoted himself to death, and died.

No one in the Xie family survived, and the bloodline was completely cut off. In the previous generations, every metabolite erlang insisted on morality, guarding one side, and giving up his life to protect the people without hesitation.

They are loyal to the Mingzhu, loyal to the court, and even more loyal to the people.

See the ministers' festival in times of danger, and the world is in chaos and knowledge of loyalty and goodness.

The aristocratic families are battling for their own interests, but the Xie family is awe-inspiring.

So firm.

Such pedantic.

It's so admirable.

Therefore, the ministers did not doubt her ambition and mind when the Seventh Princess said such words.

Li De sighed and looked at Yaoying, seemingly unbearable.

The ministers were uneasy, sweating like syrup.

After a long time, Li De waved his hand: "Okay, very good, Qiniang is worthy of my bones and blood, and has not fallen into the name of grandfather Xie's family."

He motioned to the official of the Ministry of Etiquette to go out and spread the word.

The official of the Ministry of Etiquette was dumbfounded for a while, then reacted and staggered out.

Not long after, there was a roar of joy from outside the hall, and the officials turned back to the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, Chief Ye Lu is ecstatic, saying that he will go back and order troops to be the vanguard of the Wei army's attack on Liangzhou!"

Everyone slowly recovered, and the stone fell quietly.

That's good, after going around, Chief Ye Lu got what he wanted. The court could win Liangzhou and Princess Fukang could stay in Chang'an. They didn't have to marry away, and their family members also escaped.

Everyone was falsely alarmed, still anxious and afraid to say anything.

The secretary and young supervisor suddenly appeared more and more, Chao Yaoying said deeply: "Princess Gaoyi! The minister is ashamed!"

He raised his head, his eyes red, and looked around for a week.

"The princess deserves to be Princess Wei, and she deserves to be a girl from the Li family! Princess Fukang was originally a bead from the previous dynasty, and the saint pityed her for her loneliness and helplessness. She was adopted by her knees, pets, and obedience. Princess Fukang is not grateful, Regardless of righteousness, he repeatedly assassinated the saint, and the saint could not bear harshness, and made an exception and canonized her as Princess Fukang, loving her as ever."

"Princess Fukang still doesn't know how to repent, and cooperates with foreign thieves to bring trouble to the Chao Gang. Not only does she communicate privately with Nanchu, she also intends to collude with the princess Yiqing who has married the Turkic to invade Guanzhong to the south!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

"Really?"

The secretary and young supervisor sneered: "The evidence of Princess Fukang's treason is solid. The saint pityed her for her miserable life and concealed it for her. She was kind enough to avenge her revenge. When she left, she left the court at the expense of the people's livelihood!"

He suddenly raised his voice.

"The Zhu family is ruthless and unjust, but my Princess Li is willing to marry for Jiangshan Sheji!"

"The saint is very kind to Princess Fukang! The last emperor Zhu of the previous dynasty was utterly innocent, harming the country and the people, and the people of the world. The people of the world can't wait to eat his blood, eat his flesh, and sleep his skin! If he hadn't acted against him and harmed his loyalty, how could the world be chaotic? How could Guanzhong Woye fall under the iron feet of the Hus? The Li family has been loyal and loyal for generations, but the father and brothers of the saint are cruelly slaughtered for the Zhu family. Jiangshan, it’s so peaceful and happy to return the people, the sage doesn’t owe the Zhu family! I can’t wait to owe the Zhu family! The world doesn’t owe the Zhu family even more!"

The heartstrings of the ministers trembled violently, and they all knelt down in cold sweat.

Zhong Shuling, who had spoken for Zhu Luyun many times before, touched her head to the ground and trembled all over.

Yaoying smiled mockingly.

What happened at today's banquet was a scene that she and Li De discussed in advance.

Li De hid Zhu Luyun and dismissed Li Xuanzhen. She offered to marry him. The secretary's young supervisor deliberately stirred up trouble and disturbed people's hearts. Finally, waiting for her to marry, the secretary's young supervisor publicly condemned Zhu Luyun and uncovered the scars in everyone's hearts.

Both the Li family and courtiers were former ministers of the former court. When the Emperor sent a messenger to ask for help, the Li family stood idly by, and the courtiers were helpless.

This is the knot that lies between the Li family and the courtiers.

Li De adopted Zhu Luyun, patiently tolerated her, indulged her, let her wipe out the guilt and memory of the courtiers little by little.

Then today, they thoroughly pierced the calm appearance that everyone was cautiously concealing, and put the facts in front of everyone bloody.

The wrath of the emperor, even if it is concealed, can scare ministers apart.

From today, no one dares to say a word for Zhu Luyun.

No one dared to rely on the old to sell the old, and suppress the imperial power by assuming that the Li family was an old official of the Zhu family.

Li De looked at the officials crawling under his feet, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

The officials did not dare to move.

Li Dexue’s white temples shimmered with a faint luster as the candlelight flickered, and she looked at Yaoying: "Qiniang, you are loyal to the country. It is very gratifying to be your father. What are your wishes? As long as you can do it for your father, you must Advocate for you."

Yaoying solemnly checked her head, with a clear voice: "Holy, my son has nothing to ask for."

Li De was taken aback.

This is not the same as what they said.

A few days ago, they made a deal. Yaoying asked him to punish Concubine Rong and treat Concubine Xie well, and he agreed.

Now, why does she say she wants nothing?

Li De's eyes flickered.

Yaoying straightened up, her face indifferent.

"Holy!" Du Duo had the most aggressive temper, wiped the corner of his eyes, and said loudly, "The Seventh Princess is for the country and the people, and I am worthy of the princess Wei! The saint can't wrong her! The court can't wrong her! Since the seventh princess has nothing to do. Please, it is better to reward the concubine Xie Gui!"

Other ministers responded immediately.

"Xie Guifei is the daughter of Xie's family, and she has a pure and elegant family and a leisurely and luxurious family. She accompanies the sage at the age of time, and shares the joys and sorrows with the sage, and tirelessly toil."

"What kind of pain should the noble concubine be when her lover marries away?"

The minister tacitly stopped mentioning the embarrassing and sensitive topic of Princess Fukang and Zhu, and he babbled in praise of the concubine Xie, and at the same time hinted that the emperor: they followed the Li family and had no nostalgia for the previous dynasty!

The prime minister Zheng Yu remained silent and did not speak. Fang Qi stepped forward after the crowd boasted for two rounds.

"Holy Master, the Xie Family Ju Family Helping Saint Master regained Wei Jun. Now the Xie family is full of heroes. King Qin opened up territory for His Majesty. He was severely injured. The Seventh Princess was voluntarily married for the great cause of the Holy Master and will soon marry and marry away..."

He paused.

"The minister believes that the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, nor can it be without a mother for a long time."

Before the words were over, the ministers were dumbfounded.

Li De didn't say a word, his eyes swept across Zheng Yu's face, and finally fell on Yaoying's face.

I see.

She is not asking for nothing, but retreating to advance.

Li De said: "Xie Guifei is sick..."

Zheng Yu handed his hand: "Holy, the princess is willing to marry, and the Yelu tribe will take the initiative to send troops to help me Wei Jun regain Liangzhou. If the seventh princess marries as a princess, would Chief Yelu be more grateful to the saint? Xie Guifei Many other imperial concubines can assist in the internal affairs of the palace."

The implication is that the queen is just a false name, and more importantly, Li Yaoying has become a princess, and the court can speak loudly.

As for Concubine Xie, since she is stupid, how about letting her assume the name of a queen?

Moreover, Li De promised to share wealth and wealth with the Xie family. Now that the Xie family is dead, Li De should also compensate the Xie family.

As for Li Zhongqian becoming a prostitute and whether he will compete with Li Xuanzhen for the seat, everyone is not worried. The blind all know how strong the position of the prince is.

Officials of the Ministry of Etiquette immediately seconded.

The other ministers hesitated for a moment, and then seconded.

Li De thought for a moment.

He is always sensible and realistic, Xie Manyuan is already stupid, Li Zhongqian is seriously injured, Li Yaoying marries... He has just beaten Zhu Luyun to alert the ministers, making them fearful and uneasy. At this time, he can no longer let them chill.

Li De was scheming, and quickly made a decision: "Successfully passed on the emperor's book, under the sect, and canonized Concubine Xie as the queen, the seventh princess as Princess Wen Zhao, and pro-Ye Lu."

The ministers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Shan Hu Long live.

The saint's willingness to canonize Concubine Xie as the queen, explained that for the time being, they would not be sly and foolish to these veterans.

Li De glanced over everyone's expressions and squinted his eyes.

It seems that there are many people in the DPRK who sympathize with the Xie family, and he must be careful.

Just waiting to get up and drive, Yaoying, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly bowed again, saying loudly: "Holy, I think of something, ask the holy to promise."

Li De's face darkened slightly.

Yaoying did not change her face and said: "My son just thought about my uncle, and my heart was deeply saddened. After the uncle was saddled for the saint, he worked hard and thanked the family for his loyalty. The poor grandfather's family was loyal for generations, but the blood was cut off and the child was about to marry away. , Remembering that the Xie family didn't even have a descendant to offer meals, and I felt really uneasy."

"My children think that the court must not make the loyal and good, and not let the world admire the benevolent and lofty people of Xie's family."

She looked directly at Li De, met the emperor’s indifferent sight, and said word by word: "My brother Zhong Qian was taught by his uncle when he was young. I also wish to share the worries for the sage. I invite my brother to be the heir of the Xie family and inherit the cigarettes of the Xie family.

After saying this, Yao Yingfu bowed first.

Everyone in the hall looked at her in a daze, as if being hammered a few times, their brains buzzed.

Guanzhong has restored peace and prosperity.

They indulge in enjoyment, singing and dancing, and Xie's family only left the tombs with lush grass.

"Holy, the minister agrees."

Zheng Yu kneeled on the ground.

The others knelt one by one.

Since Li Zhongqian threatened the position of the prince Li Xuanzhen, the concubine Xie became a queen again, and the Xie family had broken blood, it was better to let Li Zhongqian go to the Xie family.

Not only is it to continue the Xie family's noble surname in the hearts of the people, to avoid the prince's fight for throne and the turmoil in the court, but also to protect Li Zhongqian's life.

Li De sat on the couch and looked at Yaoying, who was motionless, composed and determined, in a trance for a moment in the sound of the conciliatory voices of the ministers.

No wonder she said those things when she came to see him that day.

No wonder she just said she wanted nothing.

I see.

Qiniang didn't plan to trade with him at all. He used Qiniang to deter the officials and completely solve the disaster of Zhu Luyun. Qiniang took advantage of the trend to seek a chance for her mother and brother.

First generously take the initiative to marry on behalf of the family, mention Xie family sentiment points, then instigate Xie Guifei as the queen when the ministers urgently need to ease the atmosphere, and finally propose to adopt Li Zhongqian, every step is considered good.

The Minister of Korea and China will not help her for no reason. Which of these people has reached an agreement with her in private?

Prime Minister Zheng is not a man who speaks out of righteousness.

He never took this daughter seriously.

Unexpectedly, she looked down upon her.

What a pity, she is a thankful daughter.

If Tang Ying was born, it would be Li Xuanzhen's right arm.

Li De waved his hand: "Quick play."

The officials bowed their heads.

Li De didn't want to see Li Yaoying again, so he stood up and returned.

Du Duo didn't follow up, helped Yaoying up, and said with concern: "Princess, XX will send you back?"

Yaoying shook her head, thanked Governor Pei, and walked out of the inner hall.

Xie Qing waited for her outside: "Princess, Jin Wuwei has taken control of Concubine Rong."

Yaoying nodded.

She only asked Li De to punish Concubine Rong and treat Concubine Xie well, because she knew that she was in a disadvantaged position, and Li De might not keep her promise, and it would be useless to ask more.

He even cheated his confidant Xie Wuliang, let alone her?

So today she accompanied Li De in a show of filial piety to a father and daughter, and then she asked him for payment in public, so that he had no room for remorse.

From today, Li Zhongqian is no longer his son.

Brother is free.
