lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

In the Hanbing Hall, a mother and son who have lived on each other for many years but have not seen each other for many years, crying in their hands, the maidservant and the **** couldn't help but cry.

Concubine Yang Shu, the daughter of Yang Guang, the former emperor of the last Sui Dynasty, has never asked about any political affairs since she married Li Shimin. Once upon a time, the grace received by this beautiful woman who played Yong Ronghuagui to the extreme, once surpassed the surviving grandson queen.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to blood lineage and family status. Although Concubine Yang Shu is only a prostitute of the former Sui royal family, her lineage is undoubtedly quite noble in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, "The mother is more expensive to the child, and the child is more expensive to the mother." It is precisely because of such a noble mother that Li Ke was a lot of attention when he was born, because he was born in two dynasties, and he was so expensive. and!

There were rumors in the harem that the Emperor Li Shimin intended to make Concubine Yang Shu as the queen, but because of the opposition of the ministers, the idea was quickly dead. It is not clear to the outside world who is against it and what the reasons are. Concubine Yang Shu never asked. But there is a saying that spread like wildfire, that is, a group of veterans of the "former Qin palace" headed by Changsun Wuji, objected on the grounds of "pre-dynasty bloodline" and "pre-Sui Dynasty restoration", so that Li Shimin had no idea. Parry.

In fact, this statement is quite absurd. No one knows that whether it is in accordance with the traditional customs of ancient China or the royal family of any dynasty, the blood line is from the father, and there is no such thing as "from the mother". Changsun Wuji and others used the pre-Sui descent of Concubine Yang Shu as an excuse. It is nothing more than fear that Li Ke, who is quite talented in civil and military skills, has a noble background, and has a high reputation, will rise up from his mother's power and participate in the seizure of prostitutes.

Since the short-lived turmoil a few years ago, Concubine Yang Shu has become more and more low-key and conservative. She spent the whole day in the harem and kept her briefing. Not only did she not only ask about the affairs of the court, but also did not care about the affairs of the harem. Asked, even if it’s a lonely pillow every day, I don’t compete with the younger concubines.

In addition to Li Ke, Concubine Yang Shu also has another son, the king of Shu, Li Mian. She often restrains him very strictly, because Li Mian is a typical muddy, unambiguous, and can only eat, drink and have fun. Sejo. On the contrary, no matter how Li Ke tossed outside the palace, how sharp she was, she would leave her free.

Just like, she had never given birth to the son Li Ke.

Where is there a mother who doesn't love her son? No one but Yang Feishu can understand the pain.

After confessing his heart, Li Ke told Concubine Yang Shu about the incident. Concubine Yang Shu was naturally happy when she heard that her son wanted to accept her concubine, but she also raised a question, just as Quan Wanji had considered. When Li Ke explained the number, Concubine Yang was relieved, but Li Ke had to obey his father's approval.

Li Ke told Concubine Yang Shu the original words of Li Shimin—"You have passed the test. But, you still have to agree with your concubine and the Qin family!"

After hearing this, Concubine Yang Shu seemed to be showered with a bucket of cold water. The enthusiasm and joy instantly cooled down, adding a trace of worry to her expression.

"What's the matter, mother concubine?" Li Ke asked curiously, "Father and the emperor agreed, what worries does the mother concubine have?"

"Ke'er, after so many years, don't you know your father?" Concubine Yang Shu said with a worried expression, "Your father said this, but it's not easy to reject you face to face and hurt your face. If he agrees with his temperament, he will promise to marry him on the spot, and he will order it. Because he knows that my mother and concubine will definitely not have any objections, and the Qin family will definitely not refuse. Now, you The emperor father did not show any signs and used the name of me and the Qin family to cleverly excuse him. The implication was that this matter needs to be slowed down, and it is not suitable to be handled at this time. In order to avoid causing unnecessary unnecessary Trouble."

"It seems that the emperor father also has all kinds of worries..." Li Ke fell into deep thought after hearing the words of his mother, and said after a moment, "Mother concubine, the emperor understands. Probably the emperor asked me to return to Beijing. The Lanzhou supervising army has already caused a considerable disturbance above the court. If the emperor married the daughter of the Qin family at this time, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The stability of the court was the most important thing for the emperor. In contrast, Huang'er's marriage is just a trivial matter."

"Ke'er, after hearing that your majesty will transfer you back to Beijing for Lanzhou, I couldn't sleep for a few nights, and my heart jumped." Concubine Yang Shu frowned and muttered, "You know, why is this?"

"The emperor made the mother and concubine worry..." Li Ke came forward quite self-blaming, and said emotionally, holding the arm of Concubine Yang Shu, "The emperor knows that the mother and concubine have had a miserable life in the harem over the past few years. Everything is not filial to the emperor, it is because I have been too arrogant and indulgent in the past, so that outsiders are suspicious and jealous of our mother and son. The reason why the emperor was willing to sacrifice himself to go to Korea was also to allow my mother to live a peaceful life. When I got outside, the emperor missed her mother and concubine very much; this time she came back, but it caused countless disturbances... emperor, helpless!"

"Hey!..." Hearing Ke's heartfelt sentimental words, Concubine Yang Shu closed her eyes and sighed and sighed, faintly said, "This may be the fate of our mother and child. The country is more likely to change and change. Weiniang, as the princess of the former Sui Dynasty, has been able to live to the present and give birth to your brothers, it is already a fortunate. Weiniang is already very content and has no other extravagant thoughts. But... the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps on! Upon coming back, countless eyes were cast on our mother and son in the harem inside and outside the court. Ke'er, listen to Weiniang’s advice. You should not go to the Qin’s family to propose marriage now, let alone do the marriage right away. This Hanbing Hall came out today. , You rush to Lanzhou without stopping, don’t stop for a while."

"Mother concubine..." Li Ke looked at his mother blankly, and said sadly, "The emperor has not seen his father and concubine for a long time, so I just want to stay in Chang'an for a day or two to see his own father. Mother, is this wrong too?"

"There is a mistake..." Concubine Yang Shu turned around, choked up in her words, "You want to be filial, but others don't think so. They will think that King Wu has to return to Beijing with great grace, he wants Turning over, his ambition is about to come true. They will think that, in the name of the Battle of Lanzhou, it is now a good time for you to get help from Solomon. Do you know how many people are staring at the Battle of Lanzhou? In their view, this is a great time to get promoted and get rich. Even if it is a small errand under your king Wu, you will be able to win the rewards of meritorious service in the future. Therefore, even if you don't snare others, you will There will be a lot of people coming to provoke you. So, my Keer...you should leave Beijing as soon as possible!"

"Mother!..." Li Ke knelt down with a sad cry, hugged his mother's knees and said in tears, "Your Keer never thought about snatching or pulling the cage! I miss my parents. Missing my homeland, I love my Shuang'er! I finally returned to Chang'an, so I wanted to marry the woman I loved so much that my parents could share my happiness and happiness. Is this also wrong?"

"When you leave Beijing, your mother will handle it for you in secret." Concubine Yang Shu has already burst into tears, still turning her back to Li Ke, whispering, "Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker's orders from parents At the new funeral of Qin’s Patriarch, Yi Guogong, his children should observe filial piety. Now it is not appropriate to mention marriage. Moreover, the eldest brother is like a father. Now whether it is Qin’s eldest son Qin Tong or Shuang’er’s brother Qin Mubai, no one is there. Chang'an is far away in Lanzhou. This brown marriage also requires the approval of Qin Tong and Qin Mubai. Therefore, Wei Niang asks a matchmaker for you in Chang'an; you have to face Qin Tong and Qin Mubai when you go to Lanzhou. Just hire a relative. When will you return to Chang'an after the battle...When will you get married again."

Li Ke was speechless, just hugged Concubine Yang Shu's knees tightly, closed his eyes and wept. I thought to myself: Now I finally understand what the emperor father said... I want my mother and concubine and the Qin family to agree, and the implication is to follow these customary marriage rules. To put it bluntly, let me go to Lanzhou first, and then discuss marriage!

"Go, Ke'er... the affairs of the country are important." Concubine Yang Shu raised her head, lowered her hand to gently stroke his son's cheek, two lines of clear tears flowed down and dripped down her white jade face. It reached Li Ke's forehead.

Li Ke slowly loosened his mother's knees, took two steps back, respectfully knocked three heads on the ground and got up, "Mother and concubine take care, the emperor...go!"

After talking, turn around and leave.

Concubine Yang Shu sat down, hiding her face and crying bitterly.

"My son...Do you know how much Wei Niang missed you? You...Go back quickly, be safe, take care!"

Leaving the Hanbing Temple, Li Ke with red eyes looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. Inadvertently, he suddenly thought of Li You, the king of Qi, who had conspired to commit suicide.

At the beginning, the biggest reason for Li You's rebellion was, of course, his own wrong intentions and his uncle's instigation. However, the encounter between his mother, Concubine Yin De and his younger sister, Princess Gao Yang, and the feud between the Yin family and the Li family, are they not a major cause?

Li Ke was very impressed by what Li You said before he was taken to the capital after he was arrested-"I hope in the next life, don't be born in an emperor's house!"

"Hey!..." After a long sigh, Li Ke closed his eyes and shook his head, bowed his hands to Hanbing Hall and Wude Hall, and said to himself, "Father, mother, emperor When you return home, you must not stay and be filial, and then go...you want, take care!"

Half an hour later, Li Ke and his entourage drove out of Chang'an from the Chunming Gate on the east side of Chang'an, turning on their horses and ran northwest. He ran a dozen miles all the way to the Weishui River before stopping.

Li Ke looked back at the horse, the magnificent Kyoto Chang'an and the winding Zhongnan Mountain are picturesque.

"His Royal Highness, why did you suddenly decide to leave Beijing immediately? Is the Lanzhou war urgent?" Quan Wanji asked.

Li Ke didn't answer immediately, but squinted his eyes with a sad look at Chang'an. After a long time of silence, he said: "The war in Chang'an is far more urgent and dangerous than Lanzhou. I can't afford it, so I have to hide." /

"Hey! As expected..." Quan Wanji shook his head helplessly, and said, "His Royal Highness, you are destined to be so wandering. Let's go, go to Lanzhou! Daoguangjianying is much safer than this seemingly peaceful Changan!"

"Let's go!!" Li Ke retorted with a deep shout, turned his head, slammed his whip, and rode his horse forward.

Quan Wanji sighed deeply and followed the crowd.

At this time, Shanzhou.

After Qin Mubai led the Yumenguan soldiers and horses to arrive here, the 100,000 troops traveled thousands of miles from hunger and cold, hurting their vitality, so they had to spend some time to rectify and recuperate.

There is Li Daozong sitting on the side of Dafeichuan, and Qin Mubai sent a messenger to communicate with him. Knowing that there is nothing wrong, I can rest assured to train soldiers and horses in the rear to prepare for the war. At the same time, we must also wait for 150,000 reinforcements and supplies from the court.

Back in the city of Shanzhou, Qin Mubai finally hugged Xiao Lou'er, the baby girl he missed day and night, and the family was happy. Originally, when Chen Yan followed Qin Mubai to Yumen Pass, she entrusted Xiaolou'er to Li Daozong. When Li Daozong hurriedly sent troops to Dafeichuan, he had to hand this little baby pimple to Tantai Shuangshuang who was recuperating in Shanzhou.

Tantai, who was once a cold-blooded killer, took good care of Xiao Lou'er, the daughter of his benefactor, and did not dare to neglect in the slightest. After going back and forth, the two formed a deep bond, just like a mother and daughter. Seeing that Qin Mubai and Chen Yan were about to take Xiaolou'er away when they came back, both Tantai were in tears.

Chen Yan saw it in her eyes, and she said to Shuangshuang privately: "Shuang'er, since you like Xiao Lou'er so much, Xiao Lou'er also likes you so much, you can be her mother-in-law!" /

"Really? Will the marshal agree?" Both were overjoyed and worried, and said, "Our sisters are of humble origins. It is a great gift to the marshals to be able to serve as officers and worship generals again. Furthermore, the emperor. Your Majesty rewards our sisters to Princess Gao Yang to serve on both sides, so we are only marshals and retainers. As domestic slaves, how dare Shuang'er... climb the dragon and attach the phoenix!"

"If you talk about my family background and background, am I still like you?" Chen Yan smiled slightly, a little mysteriously, and said, "I can be Xiaolou's mother, and your sisters How can you be a mother-in-law?"

"Here!..." When Shuang'er heard this, his heart jumped wildly.

"Why, did I say the central thing?" Chen Yan smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, it's okay to be a retainer, and it's okay to turn into a concubine room. Anyway, Mu Bai is so romantic, instead of letting him It’s better to make things easier for your sisters when you are outside. What do you think?"

"Ah..." When Shuang'er heard this, he blushed to the base of his neck, and he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Dandan Tantai was also nearby, and Qiaoqian smiled and said: "Listening to Sister Yan's words, it's obviously going out this time, and the young marshal is tangling flowers outside again. I see that the little princess of the wild horse in Huihe treats the young marshal. She's so sticky, will it be her?"

Chen Yan smiled without answering, just said: "We shouldn't ask and manage this kind of thing. Men like Mu Bai can't control it, because not everyone is Princess Gao Yang."

"I don't understand..." The sisters shook their heads blankly.

"Mu Bai is a very natural man. For women, he is careless, but has a conscience; lustful, but not extravagant. It is absolutely unrealistic to let him guard only one woman for his whole life; but he said that he is hungry and never chooses food and forgets righteousness. , And definitely not.” Chen Yan said, “It’s not surprising that many women like a man like him. But since he likes such a man willingly, he must accept everything he has instead of picking and choosing. I hope that the other party will change for herself. As for Princess Gaoyang... only she often scolds Qin Mubai, and often restrains him not to mess with flowers. That's because this is because of Princess Gaoyang's temperament and Mubai is also used to it; They have gone through the ups and downs together and have come today. The relationship between the two is not only a relationship between men and women, but also a kind of unbreakable family relationship. If other women dare to make things difficult for Mu Bai, he will definitely feel it. Depressed and restrained, alienated each other."

"Oh, we get it! So this is Sister Yan's way of being a woman and being a man!" The two sisters suddenly realized and laughed, "No wonder the young handsome respects and attaches most to Sister Yan! ——In other words, sister Yan is more like the mistress of the Qin family than Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do this deliberately, but just let it go because of my temperament. At the same time, there are also some learned from Mu Bai." Chen Yan smiled lightly and said, "Mu Bai once said that whether it is a man who wants to conquer the country or a woman who wants to conquer a man, there is a big fight if you don't fight! ... With that said, I think of King Wu. After all, he should be there soon. Lanzhou is here. After going around such a big curve, Mu Bai and him are back on the same boat after all!"
