Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

The chief of Wei Jun on this expedition was veteran Zhao Tong, and the second prince Li Zhongqian escorted the grain and grass. The third and fourth princes each led a team of 2,000 people to support them.

Crown Prince Li Xuanzhen stayed in Beijing.

Li Yaoying was afraid that Donggong would take the opportunity to undermine Li Zhongqian, so she sent someone to watch the movement of Donggong.

For several days, there was no suspicious movement in the East Palace.

There should be only one message from the inside of the East Palace: Princess Fukang and the attached Yelu tribe have gotten closer, and may be plotting to rescue Princess Yiqing.

Yaoying frowned.

I don't know what's going on, Zhu Luyun in this life can toss more than in the previous life. Last year, she even made a secret connection with Nan Chu in private, causing Wei Jun to lose several cities. Li De punished her to think behind closed doors, and the former veterans headed by Prime Minister Zheng rarely interceded for her.

In order to make atonement for Zhu Luyun, Li Xuanzhen took the initiative to lead troops to regain Jiang County.

Zhu Luyun was both moved and guilty, and she took care of Li Xuanzhen in a puzzled manner. The crown prince Zheng Biyu thought they were reconciled, and asked the Qin Tianjian, planning to choose a day for a wedding.

The green house for the marriage was set up, and the two had a big quarrel, and the marriage was over.

Yaoying is not interested in the separation and recombination of Li Xuanzhen and Zhu Luyun, she is afraid that Zhu Luyun will cause trouble that will not end, and hurt others.

Her worries were quickly confirmed.

Two days later, when Yaoying sat at the window writing a letter to Li Zhongqian in the distance, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the corridor.

The bird pecking at the fruit in front of the step was startled, flapping its wings and rushing towards the lush flowers, chirping noises.

"Your lord!" Xie Qing stepped in the door quickly, stood outside the screen, arched his hands and said, "Something happened."

Yaoying's heart jumped, and the purple pen in her hand stopped on the paper for a while, the ink dripped and a light brown ball fainted.

She put down the pen, got up out of the book pavilion, and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Qing looked down and said: "Today, the Supreme Master received envoys from various countries in the Linde Hall and watched the polo match. Princess Fukang also attended the banquet. The warriors of the Yelu tribe won, and the Supreme commended the warriors. The warriors said they admire them. The Central Plains dynasty wanted to subordinate to the Great Wei, and asked the Saint to grant a noble lady from the Central Plains to be their chief wife."

He paused.

"Without waiting for the sage to speak, Princess Fukang came out more and more, saying that she was willing to go to the grassland to get married, and publicly agreed to Chief Ye Lu's proposal."

Yaoying was stunned for a while, unable to believe her ears: "How is this possible?"

How can the marriage be casual? Is Zhu Luyun crazy?

Xie Qing said with a straight face and expressionlessly: "Your lord, the news is true. Princess Fukang promised too soon, and the ministers in the Zhengshitang were too late to stop her. The envoys of various countries have congratulated her in unison. Next, the sage can’t say anything. Prime Minister Zheng was so angry that he threw his drink, and Governor Pei drew his sword. The people from the Ministry of Ritual came forward to make a round. The Yelu tribe seemed to have been prepared and completely ignored the hints of the Ministry of Ritual, and forced the sacred decree to give the marriage. , Princess Fukang also knelt down and asked the Holy Emperor to impose an edict, and publicly accepted the Yelu tribe’s token."

Yaoying paced back and forth, unable to recover for a long time.

She knew that Zhu Luyun was self-willed and used all means to get revenge, but she didn't expect this former princess to be selfish to the point of taking national affairs as a trifling matter!

Among all the princesses, Zhu Luyun is the only princess with a title. After she was the former Zhu family, she has an extraordinary status. She recklessly responded to the proposal, not only putting herself in a dangerous situation, but also directly undermining Li De’s Strategy.

Li De worked hard to win over and divide the Hu people, in order to gradually defeat the barbarians entrenched in the northwest, regain the Hetao and Western Regions, and relieve the border troubles in the northwest, so that the people of Guanzhong can live a safe and stable life. So that Wei could take a breath and avoid being enemies. While guarding against other forces, he had to bow to his knees time and time again to buy the barbarians with gold and silver beauty, so that their iron hoof would not go south.

He really wanted to win over the Yelu tribe, but Dawei didn't need to send a serious gold branch and jade leaf to make a marriage.

For the Hu people, there must be both forceful deterrence and gentle means.

The reason why Li De led his troops on the expedition as soon as he became a throne is to let the Hu people see how brave the Wei army is.

First let them fear from the force, and then talk about cooperation, then Wei can take the initiative.

With Zhu Luyun's entanglement, Li De lost all opportunities and was passive. In order to appease the barbarians and dispel other tribes' suspicion of Dawei, he could only choose to let Zhu Luyun marry!

Yaoying can almost imagine how angry Li De is now.

The Li family was an old minister of the Zhu family, and half of the ministers in the central court had also been loyal to the Zhu family. At the end of the year, the emperor was murdered.

So Li De adopted Zhu Luyun, canonized her as a princess, and tolerated her in every possible way.

As a result, to wash away the infamy of Li's infidelity.

Second, to show to the world the tolerance of the Li family, to appease the former officials, and to show favor to the family.

Thirdly, it showed the legitimacy of the Li family's succession to the throne.

Fourth, use Zhu Luyun to monitor the forces that sympathize with the last emperor in the DPRK and balance the court.

Li De never made a loss-making business. Zhu Luyun assassinated several times. He found evidence time after time and let it go again and again. He did not touch Zhu Luyun's hair. It was not only to continue to use Zhu Luyun, but also to consume the ministers of the court and the former court. His last bit of mercy and loyalty made them completely loyal to the new dynasty.

He must have never imagined that Zhu Luyun went crazy and could actually poke such a big Lou Zi.

There is nothing trivial about diplomatic relations.

Not long after the establishment of the new dynasty, it was precisely when it was necessary to win over the hearts of the people, establish prestige, and dominate the barbarians. Zhu Luyun allowed to marry in public, and the Yelu tribe fought snakes and sticks. If Wei Wei could not handle this matter properly, the previous few battles were considered to be Hit it for nothing.

This boring loss, Li De had to eat if he didn't eat it.

…

At the same time, the head of the East Palace Shi Weiming and Li Yaoying reacted exactly the same, and they also looked incredulously shocked.

"Is Princess Fukang crazy?" He changed his voice so anxiously, "She actually wants to be married?"

The person who spread the news was Du Wei Qin Fei, a subordinate of Prince Li Xuanzhen. He wiped his sweat and said, "Chang Shi, what do you think should be done?"

Wei Ming trembled with anger: "Ignorant woman! Ignorant woman! Only when my warrior Wei fights the enemy bravely, can I get the barbarians to vote. The saints work hard, waiting for the barbarians to surrender and enter into an alliance with them. This stupid woman said a few words. It will ruin the divine plan!"

Zhu Luyun is the daughter of the Zhu family. She received the token in public, and she did not leave any way to the saint. She was extremely dull!

Qin Fei grinned and supported Wei Ming: "Chang Shi, now is not the time to curse!"

He stretched out his finger and shook it.

"The prince will never let Princess Fukang go to make a marriage."

Wei Ming also thought of this. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and breathed out, pressed his anger, calmed down, and asked, "Is the prince ill-mannered in public?"

Qin Fei stomped and sighed: "You also know how much the prince valued Princess Fukang. When the Yelu tribe begged for a relationship, the prince just got off the court and went to the apse to change clothes. He didn't know who tripped him. It took a long time to come back and learned that Duke Fukang was married to the Yelu tribe. He immediately changed his face and took Princess Fukang away without waiting for the Lord to speak."

Li Xuanzhen pulled Zhu Luyun away, Li De's face was gloomy, Yelu tribe was in good measure, and the officials of the Ministry of ceremonies jumped three feet high with anger, and a banquet broke up unhappily.

Liushen Wuzhu, a minister of the Eastern Palace, could only send Qin Fei back to the Eastern Palace to ask Wei Ming.

Wei Ming was angry, hated, and anxious, a faint smell at the roots of his teeth.

The saint is arbitrarily determined and does not want to miss the opportunity to form an alliance with the barbarians. No matter how annoyed he is, he will send Zhu Luyun to her marriage.

The prince and Zhu Luyun have been entangled for many years, and they will definitely not sit back and watch Zhu Luyun marry to the grassland.

No one can stop the prince.

At that time, the prince will definitely conflict with the Holy Supreme!

Once Shengshang and the East Palace have a rift, the second, third, and fourth princes will have the opportunity to enter.

Wei Ming thought quickly, and made a decision within a few breaths: Anyway, we must find a way to stabilize the prince.

He doesn't care who Zhu Luyun marries, but he is afraid that the prince will get confused under his urgency.

Before there was time to plan anything, there were a few horses neighing outside the window, and several Donggong guards rolled off their horses and ran into the courtyard.

"Chang Shi, His Royal Highness was detained by the guards of the Holy Supreme!"

Wei Ming rushed out of the study with a buzz in his head.

What happened so soon?

Hu Cong looked terrified, clasped his fist and said: "Chang Shi, just now, his Royal Highness was going to send the princess out of the city, but was stopped by Jin Wuwei at the city gate and sent back to the palace. The prince and the sage clashed, and the sage was furious, and the guards tied the prince. "

Wei Ming stomped his feet in a hurry, he knew something would happen!

"Hurry up and invite your Royal Highness!"

Zheng is the daughter of a well-known family, gentle and virtuous, and knowledgeable. Husband Li Xuanzhen and Zhu Luyun have a broken connection. She has never been jealous, and has always persuaded Li Xuanzhen to marry Zhu Luyun as soon as possible, so as not to harm their reputation.

After hearing the report of what happened in the palace, Wei Ming knew that the matter was urgent, so he asked her to avoid taboos.

Zheng Biyu was flustered for a moment, and quickly calmed down, and said, "I am a woman in the house, and I dare not discuss the affairs of the court. What does Chang Shi want me to do?"

Wei Ming secretly praised that Zheng was worthy of being the daughter of a prominent family, and this calmness was enough to surpass Zhu Luyun.

He sighed and said: "His Royal Highness, the prince clashed with the saint on impulse and was temporarily detained in the palace. At the moment, only you can persuade the prince to submit to the saint."

Li De was first half-dead by Zhu Luyun, and he hadn't figured out a countermeasure. He also heard that Li Xuanzhen ran away with Zhu Luyun, and he was even more angry.

What kind of style is the prince of a country so arrogant? !

He sent Zhu Luyun to the princess mansion for strict supervision, tied Li Xuanzhen, and forced him to completely draw a line between Zhu Luyun, and if he did not agree, he would be abolished.

Li Xuanzhen refused to bow her head.

Li De was furious. He drew out the sword hung in front of the Dragon Case and tried to slash Li Xuanzhen, but he was persuaded by his close attendant.

Now Li Xuanzhen is still in the palace, no matter who tries to persuade him, he will ignore it.

Zheng Biyu has heard the maid telling Zhu Luyun's initiative to ask for a marriage, and said: "His Royal Highness is a human being, I'm afraid I won't be easy to subdue."

She is Li Xuanzhen's wife and knows Li Xuanzhen better than others.

He usually looks gentle and calm, and behaves appropriately, but he is actually gloomy, cold, sensitive, suspicious, moody, and unpredictable.

Zheng Biyu has been married to him for four years, except for a lingering Zhu Luyun, he has not suffered any other grievances.

Li Xuanzhen respected her, she reciprocated, and was willing to respect her husband.

Only respect, no closeness.

Having slept in the same bed for several years and gave birth to a son, Zheng Biyu found that he still hadn't walked into Li Xuanzhen's heart.

She never complained about Li Xuanzhen.

He had witnessed his mother burned to death in front of him, and the woman who had been burned beyond recognition by the fire was holding his hand tightly before her death, telling him to avenge her.

Zheng Biyu had seen people burned by fire, that kind of terrifying and hideous scene, she still feels creepy when she thinks about it.

The Tang family ended his life in the most tragic way, planting an indelible fire of revenge in his son's heart.

She made Li Xuanzhen.

Also ruined Li Xuanzhen.

Zheng Biyu couldn't hate a Li Xuanzhen who was always entangled in nightmares, turned pale when he saw the fire, and often wielded a knife with his eyes bare.

She pityed her husband.

Zhu Luyun did not believe in Li Xuanzhen's sincerity.

Zheng Biyu believes.

That year, Li Xuanzhen was ordered to find Zhu Luyun and her mother who were living among the people, and rescued her mother and daughter from a fire.

The concubine of the former dynasty who had experienced ups and downs was burned by the fire, and as she died, she begged Li Xuanzhen to take good care of Zhu Luyun.

How similar to Tang's.

Li Xuanzhen sympathized with Zhu Luyun and swore an oath to her concubine that she would take good care of Zhu Luyun, guard her, and protect her at all costs.

No matter how many wrongs she made.

Zheng Biyu understands that Li Xuanzhen's feelings for Zhu Luyun are not only men's love and pity for women, but also responsibilities, promises, self-injury life experience, and a kind of compensation for him when he was a teenager that he didn't even notice.

This kind of relationship is far more lasting than the love between men and women.

Zheng Biyu sighed and said: "Chang Shi, unless I prevent the marriage from being granted by the Holy Spirit, I will go into the palace and persuade His Highness to be just a waste of effort."

Wei Ming smiled bitterly: "The saint was angry, Princess Fukang bit her mouth to death, she insisted on marrying, the Yelu tribe and other barbarians put pressure on the court, and the edict to grant marriage may have been written."

Now that the imperial court is riding a tiger, it can only give a marriage, and Li De is arrogantly emboldened by Zhu Luyun, one Buddha is born and two Buddhas ascend to heaven. The marriage is irreversible.

Zheng Biyu's face was sad: "Is there no way?"

Wei Ming shook his head and lowered his voice: "Since we can't stop the gift of marriage, we can only find another way."

Zheng Biyu looked at Wei Ming suspiciously.

Wei Ming whispered: "Li Daitao is stiff."

Zheng Biyu suddenly realized: "Chang Shi means, find another noble daughter to marry Princess Fukang?"

Wei Ming nodded.

Zheng Biyu thought for a moment, and said: "Yelu tribe may not agree."

Zhu Luyun dared to cause such a big disaster. Obviously, he had already reached some conditions with the Yelu tribe in private, otherwise the Yelu tribe wouldn't risk being entangled with Dawei.

One of them is willing to marry, the other is willing to marry, Li De is helpless, what can they do?

Wei Ming smiled, and said: "The Yelu tribe will not agree to the substitution, that is a future thing. His Royal Highness only needs to go to the palace and tell the prince this idea, so that the prince knows there is a way to change the prince."

The top priority now is to stabilize Li Xuanzhen and avoid greater conflict between father and son.

Zheng Biyu pondered for a while, nodded, and instructed his servants to prepare their carts and horses.
