The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

twelve ugly

In the fourth year of Chengxing, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

There are frequent news of success at the border, and the territory is peaceful and peaceful.There was a heavy snow just a few years ago, which corresponds to the saying that auspicious snow heralds a good year.In such a favorable time, place and people, the emperor celebrated the Shangyuan Festival in the first year after his filial piety, and he was happy with the people.

On the eve of the winter's heavy snow and ice, a breakthrough has been made in the Northwest War.It can be predicted that after the beginning of spring, the coalition forces of Xianxi, the little prince of Huihe and the various tribes of Tocharian will surely be able to defeat the big prince of Huihe in one go.

As for Tubo in the southwest, its leader, like King Tochara, was the first ruler of the country.This man is even more powerful than King Tocharo. Seven years ago, he unified all the tribes of Tubo, and made great ambitions, vowing to marry the princess of the authentic royal family of Xianxi as his queen.

The southwestern plateau has always been full of small countries, with internal strife and disputes. Unlike the tribes in the northwest, they have a long history of contacts with the Central Plains and frequent communications.The freshly released letter of credentials of the king of Tubo seeking to marry the princess arrived at the Xianxi court.Unexpectedly, the king of Tubo refused to give up, and sent letters here every year to wink.Unfortunately, it coincided with the transition of Xianxi's throne, and the internal affairs were busy. Honglu Temple received a marriage proposal from Tubo and transferred it directly to the file, and did not report it to the three provinces.

After seven years of holding back like this, the king of Tubo felt that Emperor Xianxi refused to marry the princess because he did not see his own strength.So he packed up his troops and directly attacked the border of Daxia.While fighting, he kept sending messages, expressing his sincere heart to marry the princess.

Song Wei knew all this, her mouth was wide open, not knowing how to comment.He asked himself that he had rich experience and knowledge, but he still underestimated the iron-blooded tenderness of this era.During the farewell party for Yihou Weiguan, he patted him on the shoulder and said viciously: "Slap me! Beat him so badly that he can't find his teeth!"

The fighting strength of the Tubo army is not weak, but the difference in national strength between Xianxi and Xianxi is as big as heaven and earth.The two sides clashed several times, and at first they were able to hold each other, but after a long time, they became weak.According to Wei Guan's estimate, most of them won't be able to survive the cold spring and will soon be forced to retreat.

The emperor hadn't held a large-scale festival for three years, and the courtiers couldn't help but look forward to it.It coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, which is also the day of the emperor's birthday, and the double happiness is coming. How can we not celebrate with the whole country and the whole world?

Dali Temple proposed amnesty for the world, the Ministry of Rites proposed to add Enke, and the Ministry of Officials hoped to reissue the bonus. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry were the most outrageous, and they actually asked for land tax reduction to celebrate the emperor's future.You know, the first emperor reigned for more than [-] years, and now he has never added any Tian Fu.Ding Nan of the Xianxi Dynasty granted [-] mu of land, and received two stones of millet a year.The yield per mu of bad fields is calculated as one stone, and converted to one-fiftieth, it can be called the lowest in history.Not to mention the advancement of water conservancy farming technology, which has significantly increased the average yield per mu.The new emperor adopted the suggestion of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to greatly reduce the fees for leasing farm tools and cattle, which is actually equivalent to tax relief in disguise.

In order to keep her purse tight, Song Wei had a verbal fight with several ministers and ministers until the Chinese New Year.I thought this is not for Lao Tzu's birthday, this mother just made a special trip to goug out my flesh and drink my blood.

In contrast, the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Temple, and Taichang Temple seem too pleasing to the eye.Really keep the emperor's birthday in mind, and prepare for the celebration conscientiously.It's a pity that the early stage was fine, but in the later stage, all kinds of ceremonies, decorations and decorations were all extremely cumbersome and grand, asking for instructions eight times a day, Song Wei was so annoyed that he almost went berserk.

Many large and luxurious decorations that hadn't been used in the inner library for three years were cleaned out; the rare gifts tributed by officials and people from all over the country were transported to Beijing in trucks, Song Wei was dazzled and clicked his tongue secretly.This year, the northwest and southwest are not stable, while the northeast and southeast are quite honest. Coupled with the opening of ocean routes, those shallow-water pearls, deep-sea corals, exotic ores, rare and delicious, piles of tributes, are his career as emperors, and there are also big ones. Eye-opening feeling.

After thinking about it, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the four words "national power is strong".What is a strong national power, can be considered to have seen it.

So bustling and busy, deep down in my heart, the worry about the life limit, as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month approaches, seems to be getting heavier and lighter every day.

After Dugu was with him every day, how could he not notice anything unusual.

For two months, Marquis Xian has guarded the palace every day, night and day, and no one thinks it is wrong.Originally, the commander-in-chief of the court guard army was such a position, and he had to temporarily ask the emperor for approval if he wanted to take a vacation.Except for the residences of the princes and concubines, they can enter with the imperial decree, and the rest of the palace is simply walking sideways.It's just that since Marquis Xian took office, he often stood at the door of the bedroom during the day and slept on the dragon bed at night.Dugu didn't intend to be so arrogant as soon as he returned to Beijing, the problem is, Song Wei couldn't wait for him, and refused to sleep at all.Even if she fell asleep, she often woke up in the middle of the night with palpitations like a drum, pale face, and cold sweat.

I asked Li Yi to watch it many times, but he couldn't say anything else. He only said that he was worried, anxious, tired and frightened. Please take care of him carefully and be considerate.However, before Xianhou came back, His Majesty the Emperor slept on the pillow, eating delicious food, and there was nothing wrong with it.This is too strange.

Before going to bed at night, the two always find time to gossip, so it's more lively and interesting.This day, Dugu was talking about anecdotes about going to sea, Song Wei yawned and closed her eyes, but in the middle of the night she was frightened awake by the nightmare of the storm at sea, and after half an hour of coaxing, she gradually fell asleep again.

During the day, he is alive and kicking and full of energy. He is arguing with the more than 70-year-old Duke of Ming, and he is fighting for food with the three-and-a-half-year-old eldest son of the emperor. He still looks fragile and pitiful at night.

After thinking about it, Dugu felt that he had burst out all the negative emotions accumulated in the past three years at once.As long as you have more patience, you will get better slowly.Although Xianhou's guess is not perfect, it is not far away.So under the extreme pity, he was more meticulous and gentle, and his whole mind was devoted to Song Wei.

When he first came back, he still cared about his two sons, but he soon realized that it was useless.When the father left home willfully, the two sons had grown to the point where he could not care about them at all.Duguli followed Yinghou all day long, and now in his eyes, his master has replaced his father and become the most powerful person in the world.As for Dugu Shi, sometimes in the palace, sometimes with his elder brother.Even if you live alone at home, it is enough to set up a family and be the master of the house.He will soon take his first imperial examination, and his relationship with his eldest sister has improved a lot in the past two years. His temperament is gradually not as hard and indifferent as when he was a child, and he walks out like a gentle and elegant young man.

All in all, the emperor took good care of Dugu and his family.

Shangyuan Festival, the birthday of the emperor.Three days in advance, the celebration begins on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.On the [-]th day, in the morning, Song Wei went to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and then received worship from all officials in Lingxiao Hall and distributed various rewards.In the afternoon, the royal car toured the city and had fun with the people, pushing the whole celebration to its climax.

The patrol team consisted of [-] high-wheel four-wheeled carriages. Apart from the emperor, queen, princess, and emperor's family, princes, county kings, and important family members also accompanied the tour.All the windows of the carriage were opened, and against the backdrop of the pennant canopy, the faces and costumes of the members of the royal family could be vaguely discerned.In the eyes of the common people, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, all of them are eye-catching and outstanding, they are like gods descending from the earth.

The atmosphere in Xianxi is open, and the girls who have not left the court on the day of the Lantern Festival run around the city.The appearance of princesses and princesses with their parents is unprecedented, but it is not shocking.

Since the prince's wedding four years ago, the capital has not held such a cohesive royal event for a long time.The people were passionate and shouted long live.Many people followed the convoy and ran around the city without feeling tired.

When the people saw the queen for the first time, they felt that she was too dignified and beautiful to be real.There is a child in his arms, like a golden boy and a jade girl, who presumably is a prince and princess.The emperor stuck his head out of the window and waved to the crowd with a smile. He seemed more handsome and dignified than when he was married.The carriage moved slowly, and according to etiquette, the officials and the people knelt down facing each other.The common people knelt down one after another, got up one after another, all stretched their necks, reluctant to blink.

His Majesty's smiling eyes twinkled like stars wherever they fell.

The more I wanted to see more, the more dizzy I became.Oops, I'm afraid that a real immortal can't compare to it.

Apart from the emperor's family and other members of the royal family, the handsome boys of the guard of honor of the court also attracted the attention of countless girls and aunts.Among them, the most eye-catching one is Lord Xianhou, the general of the country who followed closely next to Yujia: a silver helmet and iron armor, a long arrow and a curved bow, and a green frost sword that never leaves his body for a moment.His eyes swept across the crowd, swishing as sharp as shooting darts.

The more I dare not look at it, the more I want to look at it.Oops, it's even more powerful than the door god posted at home!

After patrolling the city, he went back to the palace to rest for a while, and the sky darkened.The emperor had one last activity to entertain the people waiting to be completed: climb up the Chengtian Gate Tower, light and raise the first lantern for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Song Wei stood on the top floor of the Chengtian Gate tower, lighting up the super-large octagonal palace lanterns with super-large coiled dragons and octagonal wax pillars held by the guards one by one, pulling the long rope that drives the rollers, and raising the lanterns to the eaves like raising a flag.He completed the first lantern, and the people below him moved quickly to raise all 140 eight lanterns, and the entire Chengtianmen gate tower was suddenly brilliant.

Taking this as a signal, the palace lit up immediately.But I saw palaces and towers, one after another, gradually shrouded in lights.Immediately afterwards, all the houses, shops and workshops scrambled to hang out the lanterns that had been prepared.But for a short while, the city is full of brilliance and jewels, the lights in the world are better than fairyland, and the moonlight and stars are also hard to match. It makes people linger and forget to return.

Looking at all this, Song Wei had the illusion of endless prosperity growing from his palm.

Gathering his mind, he asked Dugu beside him, "Where is Yinghou?"

"Checking to see if all the water dragons are in place."

Song Wei nodded: "Yes, good."

Soon Qin Xian came up and said that everything was arranged.Dugu Ying heard the words, and led the two children to say hello and leave.Song Qian and Song Jun were excited for a long time, and finally saw the long-awaited lanterns all over the city, and they felt relieved and boldly began to doze off.At this time, since being a queen sacrificed entertainment time, she took the children back to the palace to rest first.The rest of the members of the royal family who participated in the lighting also bid farewell to the emperor one after another. They either went home for a joyous gathering, or wandered around the city.

The city tower became more and more lively, but there were fewer and fewer people on the city tower.In the end, except for the guards of the court, only Song Wei and Dugu Mian remained.

The two stood side by side, looking down at the crowds and lights, both silent.

The loyal soldiers of the old guard rang the night bell on time and at the right time, but it did not affect the excited crowd at all.Dugu counted the time and put the fox fur cloak on Song Wei: "Are you tired? If you are tired, go back. There will be something to watch every year, don't be in a hurry."

Song Wei shook his head, and held his hand tightly: "Zi Shi, I want to wait for Zi Shi. There will be fireworks outside the Chengtian Gate at Zi Shi, and we will go back after watching the fireworks."

Dugu Mian stopped talking, pulled him back two steps, stood in a dark place, and hugged him tightly.

After a while, I heard him sneer in a low voice: "You can be seen by people when you stand under the lamp? Just look at a lump of carbon vertically, and a cloud of shadow horizontally."

Xianhou was not white before, but after returning from the southeast, he was tanned by the sun on the sea, and he still hasn't recovered from it.Standing with the fair-skinned and pink-skinned Emperor His Majesty, it's just a good time to play a pair of black and white impermanence.

Dugu Mian didn't respond, she just thought he put his fingers into the fur scarf mischievously, and pinched his ears.

The bell rang at midnight, and with a few "pops", clouds of fireworks exploded in the air.The crowd cheered in amazement, and the surging sound waves met the dazzling colorful lights in the sky, blending into the unique joy and peace of the festival.

Song Wei looked at all this stupidly, an infinitely distant and deep feeling filled his heart, filled the world.

"Xiao Yin, happy birthday."

Raising his head, he met a pair of eyes burning like cold stars in the sky in the dark night.

"Every year has today, and every year has today." Dugu said, leaning forward and kissing her.

Song Wei's throat choked up, her eyes were moist, she stretched her arms around his neck, and responded with uncontrollable enthusiasm.

For several lifetimes, the most romantic, the most moving, the warmest and the happiest... is time.

From now on, separation, reunion, reunion, birth, old age, sickness and death, why should we be afraid?

He kissed until his lips and tongue were numb, and his chest was throbbing from holding his breath for too long, then he slowly let go, pressed against his chest, and said softly: "Dugu...every year has today, every year has today."

The two got into the carriage, how could they hold back.Compared to Dugu, Song Wei was more impatient, tearing each other's clothes with hands and feet.But today he is wearing an armor and a ceremonial court dress, where will he take it off in a while?Seeing that his eyes were watery, Dugu was so anxious that he was about to cry, he grabbed his hand, kissed softly on his face to comfort him: "Don't worry, Xiao Yin, don't worry. It's fine, it's fine."

In an orderly manner, he took off his hair crown and hairpin first.Every time you take it off, put it neatly in the dark cabinet in the car.Hold someone to stroke and knead it before going to untie it.Song Wei finally retreated from her anxious expression, calmed down, snuggled up to him obediently, and let him move.

All the hair fell down, Dugu Mian gathered the messy blue hair into a handful, wrapped it in his hands, and then went to untie the jade hook brocade belt on the neckline of the fox fur.As soon as the neck was exposed, she didn't take it off any longer. She just lowered her head and kissed down from behind the ear, lingering on the side of the neck for a long time, then moved to the front, biting with her Adam's apple in her mouth.He didn't shut up until the delicate throat was bitten out with many random red marks, which gathered together like a firework.

Just like that, Song Wei became soft like a pool of spring water, if it wasn't for Dugu's arms, it would have already slipped onto his lap.He also understood in his heart that there is no need to worry anymore, the future will be long, and he can slow down as much as possible.Slower, also... more profound, more thorough.He opened his mouth and panted softly: "It's hot..." There was a carbon box installed under the car, and it was burning vigorously, and the inside of the car was as warm as a spring day.

Dugu Mian didn't take off his fox fur, but instead stretched his hand to the bottom, unbuttoned one by one, and took off all his trousers.Repeatedly kneading and kneading at the base of the legs until the slippery part became hot, and he suddenly hugged someone and clinged to his body without leaving a single gap.He was covered in armor, well-groomed.Song Wei's hot skin suddenly touched the cold and hard iron, and he couldn't help exclaiming "Ah!", his whole body shrank and moved uncontrollably, and Gu Qianwang was soaring out of control because of the sudden temperature change. It's a sea of ​​fire, and one side is an iceberg.

He lay on Dugu's body, rubbing it impatiently: "Take off...Take off!"

"Good boy, I can only take it off for you. I want to take you off the car, but you can't take it off right now. When you enter the palace...you can do whatever you want." Dugu Mian held his buttocks with one hand and rubbed them vigorously, and stretched his other hand to the top to loosen the clothes robe, pinching the necklace on his chest with his fingers, he suddenly lifted the fox fur, and crushed the armor to protect his heart.Under the double torture of pressure and low temperature, the two little red wreaths suddenly stood upright, bright and vivid.

"Ah!...Bastard!" Song Wei forced a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his eyelashes were wet with tears. He was extremely pitiful.The fingers flexed and stretched, scratching involuntarily, but they could only slide weakly on the surface of the nail.

Afraid that he would hurt his nails, Dugu Mian quickly grabbed his arm, wrapped him tightly in fox fur, and patted him on the back: "Okay, stop making trouble. I'll be there soon, take a rest."

Song Wei slowly came back to her senses, and when she heard the guards outside the car answering, she had already arrived at the gate of the inner palace.When the fireworks are off, tourists return home one after another, the streets are no longer crowded, and the carriages and horses will naturally go faster.However, it's not going to be like this so quickly, it seems that they just set off a moment ago... Sure enough, I don't know what time it is...

Yu Jia stopped directly at the door of the bedroom, and Xianhou walked into the inner room with the emperor in his arms.

The interior layout, compared with the splendor of the outer hall, is more charming.Light gauze tents, white sandalwood borneol, dim lamp shadows, and fragrant green smoke.

Dugu put Song Wei on the bed, the fox fur was untied, the clothes on her body had already been untied, they turned into shelled eggs in the blink of an eye, and Mi Qing slipped away.

"You can do whatever you want, let me do it." Seeing Dugu, Song Wei took off his helmet and rushed over.

"Okay, you come." Dugu Mian really didn't move, she stood by the bed and followed him around.Song Wei didn't have much strength left in his hands, the armor was hard, and the leather and copper buckles at the joints couldn't be easily disassembled.

"I'm afraid it won't be until dawn when you come." Dugu Mian sighed, held his palm, and took it off with his own strength.

After removing the armor, the inside is easy to handle. With three or two movements, they are all thrown to the ground, revealing a lean and burly body.The once bronze-colored skin has become almost dark after three years of being at sea, exposed to the wind and the sun, but the surface reflects a dark luster, as if cast by steel, containing perfect masculine strength.

Song Wei put his hands on it, then closed his eyes, opened his arms to hug his broad shoulders, wrapped his legs around his waist, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Dugu Mian took advantage of the situation to support his hips, and the two of them faced each other and became one.

"Xiao Yin, do you like it?"

"Hmm." The sense of fullness from the inside out is extremely comforting.Soon, Song Wei twisted her waist and rubbed impatiently.

Dugu Qian touched an acupuncture point with his fingers, rubbed it gently and slowly: "Didn't you say it's better to slow down? It's too hasty to hurt your body."

"Then... I don't want to sleep today, can you make it dawn?"

"it is good."
