A White Horse

King Wu is beautiful.

This is a recognized fact in the ruling and opposition parties

Jinsheng's third son, Li Yan, was sent to Taihua Mountain to practice since he was a child, and finally he became a Daogu fairy.And he inherited the good looks of his mother, Concubine Shu, with affectionate eyebrows under the intent of ice sword, even in the royal family of Li family with many beauties, he can be regarded as outstanding.

When Concubine Shu was there, Emperor Shengyuan loved her very much, and he was crowned King Wu at the age of 15. However, since Mrs. Wei, who had recently entered the palace, became pregnant and gave birth to the fourth prince, Emperor Shengyuan's affection for other children has faded a lot. I love this old man, and the unclear situation of Lichu has been covered with layers of fog, just like the weather in May in Chang'an City, it seems that water can drip out with a twist.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, after Wu Wang Li Yanfang finished washing, people came from the palace.Li Yan listened to the footsteps through a screen wall, and knew that it was Fang Linghua, the head servant next to Emperor Shengyuan. The celebrity in front of the emperor seemed to have been up all night, and his footsteps were a bit vain.He came in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to prepare the imperial decree, so he only delivered a sentence from the emperor:

"Mrs. Wei is dead, all the princes are asked to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."

Li Yan was a little surprised, and asked, "What disease do you have?"

"Death." Fang Linghua bowed his head and replied.

Li Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Wait for me to change clothes."

He returned to the inner hall, changed into white clothes with the maid, and then ordered people to change all the red lanterns in the mansion into plain colors, before boarding the car and heading towards the palace gate.

Amidst the rumble of cars and horses, Li Yan had the opportunity to savor the news Fang Linghua brought, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt.Mrs. Ziwei entered the palace, because of her bright and lively, she won the emperor's heart. After giving birth to the prince in recent years, she was even the favorite of Jiaofang. Even Concubine Shu never had such kindness back then.However, the heart of heaven is unpredictable. This dynasty's first favorite concubine was doomed to death overnight. I don't know what kind of rebellious thing he did, which made the old emperor feel so heartless.

Mrs. Wei was not the first concubine to be given death. Li Yan closed his eyes and thought of his own mother. After receiving the order, he calmly hung himself on the beam.

Suddenly, he felt the carriage under him vibrate violently, stopped suddenly, and there was a commotion all around.

Li Yan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The family will soon report: "His Royal Highness, there is a horse team blocking the way."

In broad daylight, someone dared to obstruct the driving of the dignified prince, Li Yan was slightly angry, and said in a deep voice: "Order them to get out of the way quickly, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The thick embroidered curtain was lifted suddenly, and the sunlight that shot in instantly made him squint his eyes, and the finely scattered halo circled a strange face with a sharp outline.

"It is rumored that the king of Wu is beautiful, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved." The man turned his head immediately, and a pair of thin and long pale golden eyes were staring at him intently.

"Where are the left and right? Hurry up and take down this madman." Li Yan didn't have a sword in his hand, but his heart was full of sword intent. The man was forced to step back.And the man's eyebrows showed a fierce expression, he grabbed the half of the curtain and refused to let go.

The two were in a stalemate like this, when suddenly someone shouted at the street corner: "Your Highness, wait a minute!" Li Yan raised his eyes, and saw a red-clothed official running over panting, his name Li Yan could not be called. When he came out, he looked very familiar, and he was a manager of the Siyi Pavilion.

The officer in charge ran up to him, bowed to Li Yan first, and said: "My minister Fei Zhishu sees His Royal Highness King Wu."

Hearing that the King of Wu didn't ask him to get up, he didn't dare to move, bent his body and said, "Your Highness, calm down, this is Langti Wolf King. This time, he made a special trip to Beijing to discuss with His Majesty the affairs of the Western Regions."

Li Yan has also heard of the name of this wolf king. The wolf tyrants he led have been in the Western Regions for many years, and their majesty is even higher than that of many kings.Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has wanted to hold that vast land in its hands, and the wolf king Annivar is undoubtedly the most worthy of wooing for decades.

But Li Yan is not afraid of offending him—even looking forward to it.

King Wu closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this daring barbarian, and the wolf king's eyes never left King Wu's face.

After a long time, the King of Wu finally said: "Let's go, don't keep father waiting for a long time."

Fei Zhishu let out a deep breath while lying on the ground, and watched the wheels roll away. When the smoke and dust cleared, he raised his eyes, only to find that the wolf king's back had disappeared into the crowd.

The place where Emperor Shengyuan summoned his sons and daughters was Mingjingtai in the northeast corner of the palace, facing Taiye Pond and backed by Baoxiang Mountain.When Li Yan arrived at the Mirror Terrace, most of the princes and princesses had already arrived, led by his two older brothers King Jin and King Chu, and they were divided into two rows and knelt under Dan Chi.Li Yan arrived late, so he had to kneel in the back row. King Jin had sharp eyes and a hot temper. When he saw him, he greeted him: "Third brother, come quickly to elder brother."

Li Yan had no choice but to move to the head of the second king under the eyes of all the people. As soon as he knelt down, Fang Linghua came out to announce the decree. His wife Wei had committed suicide in the middle of the night. .Every word and sentence has its source, and it sounds like Zuo Pushe's handwriting.

This edict is very short, and it was finished in a short while. As soon as Fang Linghua read it, everyone in front of the steps began to shout long live. Get back to sleep.

King Jin yawned and stood up, cupped his hands to his younger brothers and sisters and said: "Since there is nothing wrong, brother will go first." He is the eldest son of Emperor Shengyuan, and the rest of the people all clamored to agree with him when he said a word.Only the second son, King Chu, had been at odds with him for a long time, and he didn't even say goodbye.

When King Jin was far away, King Chu secretly grabbed Li Yan's sleeve and said, "Yize, Second Brother has something to say to you."

Hearing him say his own words, Li Yan knew that these words were not simple.

The king of Chu is twenty-one years old this year, and he looks a little older than his actual age. In fact, his appearance is not bad, but he is used to frowning and pretending to be profound.He has always been conceited and smart, and he is unwilling to make friends with other brothers and sisters. After a long time, he will get a sinister and cunning comment, but he doesn't take it very seriously.

For this second elder brother, Li Yan seldom said a few words on weekdays, but now he took the initiative to invite him, which seemed very rare.

The Mingjingtai in May is the time when the scenery is the best, with sparkling light and lush vegetation. The two brothers stood side by side under a big locust tree. The King of Chu deliberately chose a position against the light, which made his complexion particularly gloomy .

"Yi Ze, something is wrong." The king of Chu didn't intend to make a detour.

Li Yan said with a smile: "No matter how big the matter is, the emperor will take care of it. Why did the second brother say such a thing?"

The king of Chu seemed to have expected his attitude long ago, and said in a calm manner: "Early this morning, Zuo Pushe sent his servants to each palace to deliver a book."

"Oh, what book?"

""Northern History Wei Benji"."

Li Yan thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The last lecture given by Zuo Pushe happened to be here. It's just a history book, nothing unusual."

"Yi Ze... King Wu!" The King of Chu called him suddenly, only to find that there were a group of maids picking lotus in the pond coming here by boat, and quickly lowered his voice, "The steel knives are hanging on our necks! , Has the King of Wu not noticed it yet?"

The shadow of the swaying trees covered the figures of the two brothers, and the laughter of the palace maids was mixed with the lazy sound of cicadas. This should be the most leisurely season, but Li Yan knew in his heart that this summer has already ended from now on. .

After a brief conversation with the King of Chu, Yi prepared to go back home. From Mingjingtai to Beigongmen, he passed Miaoxiang Palace, which was the bedroom of Mrs. Wei. Until the night before, there was still green clouds here, singing and dancing. Unexpectedly, after only half a day, he showed a dejected look.

Yi stood at the entrance of Miaoxiang Hall for a while, and saw a palace man in his thirties hugging his two-year-old brother to catch butterflies in the courtyard. The fourth prince was too young to walk steadily, so naturally He couldn't understand what happened last night. He just watched the butterfly fly away and cried in disappointment. No matter how much the nanny tried to persuade him, he couldn't keep him quiet for a while.

At this time, a crystal clear white butterfly flew into the little prince's field of vision lightly, he stretched out his hand with tears in his eyes, and the cute little thing fell into his palm obediently, a little hard, a little cold, and He remembered that the touch of the butterfly was slightly different, but the little prince didn't care. He looked up in the direction the butterfly flew, and only had time to see a corner of the plain white robe gently brushing against the door frame.

After returning to the mansion, Yi Ze also received the booklet from Zuo Pushe, which was indeed a set of beautifully framed "Northern History·Wei Benji".The breeze blew, rustling the pages of the book.

Along with the history books, there was a new decree issued by Emperor Shengyuan, ordering King Wu to lead the ceremony.From now on, all the rewards and punishments of the clan are firmly in his hands, and Yi understands that in the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a signal sent by Emperor Shengyuan, as if the ever-wavering Sacred Heart has finally made a decision .

What bothered him even more was that at this moment of mixed thoughts, a pair of slender pale golden eyes flashed through the gaps in memory, silently dormant in the early summer sky, like a bird waiting for an opportunity to move. cheetah.

"Thank you behind closed doors, and don't see anyone coming." King Wu ordered.

that night
