Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 49: Elder brother regrets it

Changan.

After reading the secret report, Li Xuanzhen looked gloomy.

Qin Fei and a few other subordinates followed out from the study, looking at Li Xuanzhen's back, staring at each other. Before he could say anything, Li Xuanzhen suddenly trembled and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

Qin Fei stepped forward and helped Li Xuanzhen up.

Li Xuanzhen held the letter tightly and coughed up blood.

Everyone was shocked. Not long ago, Bei Rong raided and the prince guarded Liangzhou. He was seriously injured and has not recovered. He vomiting blood is no small thing!

The **** was startled, and ran away, urging the guards to ask for an eunuch.

Qin Fei helped Li Xuanzhen back to the house, and soon there were footsteps on the front porch, and the staff and generals waiting in the outer courtyard evaded one after another. The princess Zheng Biyu and the imperial physician came together.

Zheng Biyu entered the room and asked, "Why does your Highness vomit blood? Did you practice martial arts again?"

Qin Fei's eyebrows drooped, and he withdrew to the outside of the screen, and replied: "His Royal Highness has just finished reading the letter from Pei's family."

On the bed, Li Xuanzhen closed her eyes tightly, her face was like golden paper, and she was still holding the letter tightly in her hand.

Zheng Biyu sat in front of the couch, opened his fingers, and hurriedly read the letter, with mixed feelings in his heart and sighed softly.

Princess Wen Zhao has already lost her jade, what's the point of finding out her life experience?

The seven princesses who were so charming and enchanted by the spirit of the young man from the five lings of Beijing will never come back again.

The imperial physician looked at the old wounds on Li Xuanzhen's body, re-applied medicine to him, prescribed a new prescription, and instructed: "His old wounds have not healed, so you must be at peace. Don't get angry."

Zheng Biyu looked at Li Xuanzhen's thick eyebrows while he was sleeping, recalling what happened in the past few months with a solemn expression.

Let Li Xuanzhen's heart be calm, I'm afraid it's difficult!

...

A few months ago, the Bei Rong raided, Li Xuanzhen guarded Liangzhou, led the border soldiers in **** battles for several days, and waited until the reinforcements rushed to help.

When the news came back to Chang'an, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, and before Li De ordered to increase troops, Jincheng, Xiaoguan, and Shanzhou in the northwest, Xiazhou and Jinzhou in the northeast, Jiangzhou and Shuzhou in the south, and Lang adjacent to Xishu At the same time, a beacon was ignited in the state. Within a few days, several major outposts fought **** battles with Bei Rong, Nan Chu, and Xi Shu, causing numerous casualties.

The whole country shakes.

Hearing that the North Rong cavalry went south and the South Chu took the opportunity to harass, the wealthy people in Chang'an were frightened and packed up their gold and silver and fled south. The minister of the Central Government was also frightened, and the minister urged Li De to move the capital.

At the time when people were panicking, Li Xuanzhen sent a message to Chang'an, violently criticizing the rats who wanted to abandon the city and fleeing, saying that if the capital is moved at this time and the people's sentiment is floating, Wei will become the laughingstock of all ages. How will he rule the world in the future?

At this time, the eight hundred lijia rush reports from Jincheng, Jinju and other places were sent back to Chang'an. Although the checkpoints in various places rushed to the battle and lost a few cities, but the soldiers were brave and quickly regrouped and retreated to the guard and relied on the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain. He refused to defend, formed a confrontation with the enemy, and received warnings several times in advance, and issued a letter of distress in time. The nearby defenders rushed to the rescue, cooperated with the defenders inside and outside, and suppressed the attacking enemy, only waiting for the court to continue sending troops. With food, they can retake the checkpoints in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, Jincheng Literary Du Sinan rushed to Jiangzhou day and night. With his three-inch tongue, he successfully forced the Nanchu general to retreat. Nanchu and Xishu retired at the same time overnight. Within a few days, Nanchu came. In the news that the imperial court was turbulent and easy to save, the Meng family in Western Shu submitted the letter of credence to Dawei, saying that everything was a misunderstanding, and they had no intention of attacking Dawei.

Li Deli rejected the crowd and scolded the minister who suggested moving the capital to disaster the country and the people. He sent troops to strengthen Liangzhou, Jincheng and other places, appointed Governor Pei as the chief of the march, and regained the lost city.

The retreat of Southern Chu and Western Shu freed Wei Wei from worries, and he could concentrate his forces to resist threats from the north.

The Northern Rong cavalry came fiercely, but the number was not large, the food and grass were insufficient, and they did not break through the northern line of defense within half a month, unable to penetrate the Central Plains, realized that Wei Wei had begun to launch a counterattack, and did not love war. After looting in the Jincheng area, Retreat decisively.

Da Wei held on.

However, Helong completely fell into Bei Rong's hands. The Northern Han Dynasty, the neighbor of Wei Rong, was destroyed overnight. Jincheng suffered heavy losses and was almost lost. As long as Bei Rong concentrated his forces to launch a quick assault, Wei would have to send troops to defend each pass.

Fortunately, Bei Rong was now unable to launch a full-scale attack, and Li Xuanzhen defended Liangzhou, so that Wei would not be completely exposed to Bei Rong's iron hoof.

Wei You survived the crisis without any risk.

Those heavens and everyone are in danger, the wind and the clouds are changing, the waves are treacherous, and all the thrilling places can be felt by Zheng Biyu, a boudoir girl in the deep palace.

Looking back now, I still feel lingering in my heart, and I feel cold all over.

Just a little bit, Wei was caught up in the flames of war, and he was attacked on all sides.

When Bei Rong retired and Western Shu, Southern Chu, and Wei Dynasty resumed diplomatic relations for the time being, and the whole nation celebrated, the imperial court began to reward the merits. Li De recalled Du Sinan, who had made great contributions in the battle of Jincheng, and asked him who rushed to Bei Rong. Reporting to him before the raid, so that he could discover Bei Rong's conspiracy in time, not only defending Jincheng, but also persuading Nan Chu to retreat.

Du Sinan did not immediately give an answer.

A few days later, in Chang'an City, Suzaku Long Street, the people flocked out to meet the triumphant soldiers.

Li De led the civil and military officials to greet him.

A wounded soldier came from the north and walked limply at the forefront of the team.

"Liangzhou held it, Jincheng held it, Xiaoguan held it, Dawei is safe and sound, and the people are saved from war."

He knelt down under the city gate, raised his head, his eyes were blood red: "Your Majesty, the final general is ordered by Princess Wen Zhao to return to the customs to warn you. Fortunately, you are not insulted!"

At that moment, everything was silent before Tianjie.

His voice echoed in front of the palace gate for a long time.

The bustling crowd looked at the soldiers in silence.

The civil and military officials in Chinese clothes looked at the soldiers in surprise.

No one spoke for a long time, everyone was silent and silent.

Li De was stunned for a while, and asked, "Where is Princess Wen Zhao? She has merits in the country, and I want to reward her."

The officials followed, and praised them endlessly.

The soldiers burst into tears: "Ye Lu's Ministry is destroyed, the princess...she..."

He couldn't cry, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

There was a sad sob from the silent crowd, first suppressed and restrained weeping, and then turned into a burst of crying.

A few months ago, they sent away the seventh princess here and watched her marry away from the Great Wall, hoping that she would be safe for her life.

A few months later, the seventh princess outside the Great Wall risked death to remind the guards that Wei was safe, but the seventh princess died in a foreign land.

Officials of the Ministry of Etiquette sent the Seventh Princess to marry. When the team passed by the Great Wall, the official asked the Seventh Princess if he had anything to tell Li De.

The Seventh Princess looked back at the towering mountains and cities behind her, and smiled faintly: "May the river be clear and the sea will be peaceful."

The princess went out to make peace and reached a million soldiers.

Men and women, young and old, sobbed.

On that day, Zheng Biyu stood on the road between the towers, listening to the cries coming and going from the long street like a tide, and his eyes were wet.

She didn't find Li Xuanzhen in the triumphant team, and sent someone to inquire.

Qin Fei replied to her: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness...He took the flying team to Helong."

Zheng Biyu was shocked: Helong is now in Beirong's site, and Li Xuanzhen is not healed from his serious injury. Do you want to die?

"Why is he going to Helong?"

Qin Fei sighed: "During the Bei Rong raid, His Royal Highness sent a team to Yelu's department to pick up Princess Wen Zhao and return to Beijing. When Bei Rong retreated, those people returned and returned to their lives. Ye Lu's department has been destroyed. They searched for a few days. I didn't find the princess, but was besieged by a group of Beirong cavalry. I didn't dare to wait any longer, so I could only retreat to Liangzhou first."

The team returned without success, Li Xuanzhen was furious. After finishing the military affairs, she stayed in Liangzhou for a long time. Regardless of her injuries, she personally took the flying cavalry to the Yelu Department to find someone.

This search lasted more than a month. Not only did Li Xuanzhen not find anything, but he was also besieged and intercepted by Bei Rong several times. After half of his soldiers died, he returned to Liangzhou in embarrassment after nine deaths.

The north of Liangzhou has completely fallen into Bei Rong's hands, and they have nothing to do.

The subordinates persuaded the seriously injured Li Xuanzhen to return to Beijing for treatment first. Li Xuanzhen categorically rejected it and insisted on finding Princess Wen Zhao back. Since he could not lead troops across Beirong's defense line, he pretended to be a herder and mixed in!

The local guard in Liangzhou was terrified: Li Xuanzhen was a dignified prince of the country. If he died in the hands of the Bei Rong people, they would be to blame!

Everyone was frightened and tried every means to dissuade Li Xuanzhen, but Qin Fei didn't say anything.

He knows the prince, and the prince usually accepts advice, but when he is mad, no one can persuade him.

In order to save Zhu Luyun who secretly ran out, the prince broke into the enemy's camp alone, fighting all night.

Now the whereabouts of Princess Wen Zhao is unknown, the prince will not return to Beijing unless Princess Wen Zhao is found.

Qin Fei could only keep all his soldiers and report to Zheng Biyu when he returned to Beijing.

Zheng Biyu was anxious. He knew that Li Xuanzhen would go mad. She shouldn't have sent the letter explaining the life of the seventh princess. He must have read the letter and felt ashamed of the seventh princess to be so mad.

She immediately ordered the maid to grind the ink and spread the paper, preparing to write a letter to persuade Li Xuanzhen to return to Beijing, when the servant suddenly entered the hall with a letter.

Zheng Biyu was speechless for a long while looking at the letter he sent out not long ago.

The servant explained to her that the letter was not delivered to Li Xuanzhen. There were wars everywhere in Liangzhou. An accident happened on the way to the messenger and the letter was sent back by others.

With a click, the pen in Zheng Biyu's hand fell to the ground, the ink dripping down the corners of the skirt.

Li Xuanzhen did not receive the letter.

He didn't know the life experience of the seventh princess, even if she was Xie Guifei's daughter, even if he was tortured by hatred all these years, he still wanted to save the seventh princess.

Zheng Biyu suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.

I understand why Li Xuanzhen hates the seventh princesses in her boudoir so much that he wants to send someone to monitor the seventh princesses day and night, and hates that when she wakes up in a dream at night, she will grit her teeth and call out the seventh princess's name.

Zheng Biyu sat in front of the window, closed his eyes, crying and smiling on his face.

If I knew today, why bother in the first place!

He acquiesced to Wei Ming to design the Seventh Princess, and personally sent his weak sister to the bed of the rude and savage Yelu Khan. He said that he would not regret it...

He regretted it a long time ago!

It is no wonder that Wei Ming has been targeting the Seventh Princess. As Li Xuanzhen's military adviser, he must see that Li Xuanzhen and the Seventh Princess are unusual. Marrying the Seventh Princess on their behalf is not only to save Zhu Luyun, but also to make Li Xuanzhen completely unfeeling!

Zheng Biyu crumpled the paper, but did not write the letter persuading Li Xuanzhen to return to Beijing.

She and Li Xuanzhen slept in the same bed for several years. She and Li Xuanzhen respected each other. No one in this world knew Li Xuanzhen better than her, and she couldn't persuade him.

Zheng Biyu began to plan for the future. She sent her son to Tai Chi Palace and taught him how to please Li De. Within a few days, Li De issued a decree that he would personally raise the emperor grandson.

The position of the East Palace remains firm.

A month later, Li Xuanzhen came back.

He was so wounded that he couldn't even ride a horse. He was carried back by personal soldiers.

The soldiers also brought back a bad news: the seventh princess Li Yaoying died in the hands of the Bei Rong people, and even the horses were not let go.

Li Xuanzhen was depressed and silent all day long.

Zheng Biyu did a ritual for Li Yaoying.

Everyone knows that the seventh princesses are wicked and auspicious. First, she secretly bought a dozen Huren to report for her, and then sent dozens of soldiers. In the end, most of the Husmen who successfully reported the report survived. -The situation is so precarious that Ye Lu's ministry perishes overnight. How could the Seventh Princess escape?

The news of Li Yaoying's death spread throughout the Central Plains, and the people cried and mourned Li Yaoying spontaneously. To commemorate her, they built a temple in Jingnan and planted flowers and trees. Li De decreed to chase Li Yaoying as the princess of Zhenguo, and Empress Xie was rewarded again-this queen lived in the palace and did not know that her daughter died outside the Great Wall, and Li Zhongqian, who was recuperating in Luoyang, was also kept secret. In the dark.

In a flash, another half month passed, and Li Xuanzhen's injuries got better day by day, but people were getting thinner day by day.

Zheng Biyu brought Zhu Luyun to him.

When Li Xuanzhen was guarding Liangzhou, Du Sinan and Zheng Jing interrogated every servant around Zhu Luyun based on the intelligence sent back by Li Yaoying, and thoroughly investigated her collusion with Nan Chu, Xi Shu, and Bei Rong. According to the guards of the princess mansion, the loyal servant of the princess Yiqing who died under the sword of Li Xuanzhen was just one of the confidants that the princess sent back to the Central Plains, and there were more servants who were loyal to her scattered all over the southern part of Western Sichuan.

Their real purpose is not to request the Central Plains dynasty to send troops to rescue the princess Yiqing, but to use the identity of the princess Zhu's daughter to provoke people's hearts, collect intelligence for Beirong, instigate the Central Plains countries to fight against each other, weaken the strength of the countries, and the Central Plains fell into chaos. At that time, Bei Rong will be able to drive straight in.

This time Bei Rong's raid was only a test of Haidu Aling.

After reading the confession, Li Dehe and the Minister of Korea and Central China felt lingering fears and cold sweat.

Zheng Jing also found out another thing that had puzzled the officials for a long time: Why did Nan Chu ambush Li Zhongqian?

A detailed account of the cause: the Southern Chu family was lined up, the imperial power was weak, and the major families fought for the crown of the prince. The confidant of Haidu Aling took the opportunity to persuade the great prince to attack Li Zhongqian and start a war with Dawei.

The team that attacked was the elite of Southern Chu. If it were not for Li Yaoying and Li Xuanzhen to make a deal to rescue Li Zhongqian, Li Zhongqian would undoubtedly die.

Du Sinan wrote a sincere and pungent letter, telling his old friends in Nanchu about Haidu Aling’s plot. Those old friends were in high positions in the Southern Chu Dynasty, and after confirming that the prince had a meticulous work by his side, they worked together. The fallen prince: Although they are like water and fire with the Great Wei, their lips and teeth are cold. If the Northern Rong captures the Central Plains, will Southern Chu be able to take care of itself?

The eldest prince and Xishu are both looking for skin with the tiger!

Nanchu is quick to store.

Zheng Jing Shangshu suggested that Zhu Luyun should be arrested for treason. The Korean ministers argued fiercely. Since Zhu Luyun had no knowledge of Haidu Aling's plan, she was finally relieved of guilt and killed all the servants around her.

When Zhu Luyun saw Li Xuanzhen returning from serious injury, she felt guilty and distressed.

This time, Li Xuanzhen no longer comforted her with the same gentle words as before.

Zhu Luyun cried and said that she was leaving Chang'an.

Zheng Biyu was so annoyed that he ordered Zhu Luyun back to her room.

A few days later, Li Xuanzhen accidentally saw the letter that should have been delivered to him a few months ago.

He trembled all over, vomited blood, and found Zheng Biyu, staring at her with blood-red phoenix eyes unblinking, like a ghost: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why?!"

Zheng Biyu sighed and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness, when I learned about this, you had already sent Princess Wen Zhao to Ye Lu's department."

Li Xuanzhen almost couldn't control her expression, her teeth rattled, he staggered back a few steps, and laughed to the sky.

"Yes! I have sent her away!"

"I personally sent her to death!"

"Why?! Why did she save Li Zhongqian? Why would she not sever ties with Li Zhongqian?"

"As long as she sever relationship with Xie's mother and son...As long as she nods...I don't have to hate her..."

"Why didn't she call me Brother Changsheng?"

He stopped suddenly, his face twisted: "I want to avenge A-niang... I want to avenge A-niang... Li De is not dead yet, Xie's is not dead... I'm sorry A-niang... I'm sorry A-niang!"

Zheng Biyu looked at her mad husband with pity in his eyes.

He ruined himself and also ruined the seventh princess.

...

The next day after going crazy, Li Xuanzhen calmed down strangely and began to investigate whether what Rong Fei said was true or false.

He sent someone to Jingnan Xie's house to inquire, and asked Dudu Pei to write a letter for the messenger to send it to Pei's old house.

The Pei family and the Xie family have never been in contact with each other. Gong Pei may know some secrets, so he came to Chang'an not far away to give Li Yaoying a head start.

Now, this letter is in Zheng Biyu's hands.

Gong Pei said in the letter that Li Yaoying is indeed not Xie Guifei's daughter.

That year, the Tang clan died of self-immolation. Li De left the army and rushed back to Wei County. The army was distracted and the front line was defeated. Xie Wuliang and Gong Pei led soldiers to meet the enemy. When clearing the battlefield after the war, he accidentally saw an abandoned baby.

The swaddled child is too young and weak, a small ball, no sound at all.

The soldier thought that the child was dead and was about to bury it on the spot. Xie Wuliang climbed off his horse, took the baby, felt the child's pulse, and said, "I'm still alive."

Gong Pei glanced at the child and said coldly, "This child is blue all over, and he won't live for a few days if he picks it up again. It's better to let her die quickly and join a good family in the next life."

Xie Wuliang smiled and wiped the dust off the child's face with his fingertips: "It's a life anyhow. When I was born, she was about the same age as her, I can survive, and she may be able to."

Pei Gongxin said: This Young Master Boundless really gave birth to a soft intestine, but it is a pity that he did it in vain, that abandoned baby can't live for a few months.

Later, the child survived. Although he was sick and unable to walk on the ground, he still survived.

Xie Wuliang wrote a letter to Pei Gong, in which was a poem.

The middle-grown white hibiscus has three hundred stems. The daylight shines, and the fragrance is clear and sweet. The silver sac to vent the fragrance broke, and the jade pan poured out. I am ashamed of dusty eyes, seeing this Qiong Yaoying.

Gong Pei only replied: The name is very good.

Zheng Biyu put down the letter and sighed long.

Footsteps sounded outside the window, and a maid hurried into the room, whispering: "Your Highness, Princess Fukang is gone."

Zheng Biyu frowned lightly, glanced at the dizzy Li Xuanzhen, and said: "Send people to find them separately. She is always making trouble to leave these days, just wait at the gate of the city."

The maid agreed to go out, and after a while, another maid ran into the house.

Zheng Biyu frowned and asked, "Did you find Lady Zhu?"

The maid shook her head, her expression horrified: "His Royal Highness, the second prince...no, Lord Wei Guo is back!"

Zheng Biyu shook his heart.

Li Zhongqian knew about Li Yaoying's death.
