The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 914

It was late at night, and the lights in Wei Fengwu's room were still on.When she heard that her husband was back, she rushed out to greet her, but she heard from the maid that her husband had gone to Li Xiuning's bedroom as soon as he came back.

Wei Fengwu turned back to the flower hall, sat on the chair in a daze for a while, then suddenly sighed softly, the eldest grandson Wugou and Xiao Yuexian, who were embroidering dragon robes, looked up at each other and glanced at her, the two saw their elder sister frowning Bu Zhan, like a grieving woman, couldn't help looking at each other for a while, then his eldest grandson Wugou asked: "Eldest sister, are you worried?"

Wei Fengwu shook her head: "The imperial court has been troubled recently. First, it is anti-corruption and anti-corruption. Today, Mingyue said that her husband is going to go to war again during the day. These battles are always endless, which is really worrying."

The eldest grandson Wugou bit off the end of the thread: "Elder sister, don't worry, your husband is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is protected by heavy soldiers, what can we do?"

"You said that because you haven't seen your husband fighting." Wei Fengwu shook his head and sighed, "What's the use of a person with high martial arts skills among thousands of troops? But our husband fought Come on, he looks like a tiger. Last year when he was fighting against Tubo, he galloped among thousands of troops many times. He looked very majestic, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands. How can I not worry about it? ?”

The eldest grandson Wugou's long black eyebrows also lightly frowned, and said quietly: "Elder sister, our men are not emperors who grow up in the deep palace compound, almost every state in the Sui Dynasty today has a husband leading troops." In the world today, there is only one Yizhou that has not yet been unified. Wouldn’t it be a pity if it hadn’t been recovered by him? Men, sometimes they are more tricky than us women. What can we women do? Are you trying to persuade your husband not to go to war? If we sisters are so ignorant of the rules, all civil and military officials and the people of the world will have to scold us as 'witches' to death. Don't worry, the eldest sister, the accompanying military commander also understands this, so we don't need to say it , they will stop your husband from going to the battlefield. I heard that when Du Shangshu was unable to stop her husband during the expedition to Tubo and Tuyuhun last year, after returning, he shot and scolded Huangfu Nayan, Li Shizhong, and three servants. In two or three days, he was trained like a grandson."

After hearing these words, Wei Fengwu immediately felt relieved, looked at Changsun Wugou's delicate and pretty face, thought of something, and suddenly gave a "puchi" smile.

"What is eldest sister laughing at?" Changsun Wugou looked at her in confusion.

Wei Fengwu suppressed a smile and said, "I dare not say it, for fear that you will be angry."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Our sisters are not real sisters, they are better than biological ones. When did eldest sister get angry when she saw me?"

"Then let me tell you, don't be angry, and don't scratch me."

"Okay, I promise you." Not only the eldest grandson Wugou was curious, but Xiao Yuexian, who had been acting as a spectator all along, also watched seriously, keeping his eyes on the two sisters.

"It's like this!" Wei Fengwu looked at the eldest grandson Wugou slyly, and said solemnly: "Didn't the palace coup happen in the puppet Tang Dynasty? Now Li Shimin is not the emperor, but he has more power than the emperor, and the husband is going to beat him. How do you feel about this king-king sparring, Senior Sister?"

"You're going to die, are you ashamed to ask this?" Changsun Wugou's elegant and fair neck is like a swan bending its neck to peck its wings lightly. The plump peaches rise and fall with the rapid breathing.It can be seen that Changsun Wugou's calm mood was rippled by Wei Fengwu's words.

Gossip was also ignited in Xiao Yuexian's heart, with a curious look on his face: "Sister Xianfei, just tell me, there are no outsiders anyway."

"Aren't you human?" Changsun Wugou was ashamed and annoyed. After a long time, the lake of heart slowly calmed down. In the blink of an eye, from being divorced to the time when her master married her to her husband, it's been a long time together. It's been seven or eight years.

She can't really tell what her feelings are for Yang Tong. First of all, it is a mentality of resignation. This is the common aspiration of women in the era of male supremacy. It is no exception; it can even be said that it is because she is amazing that she is stunning, she knows too many rules, and sees the world situation too thoroughly, so she has the mentality of resignation; In the process of getting along, it is a very strange thing for the eldest grandson Wugou. If it is put into a thousand years, a similar way of getting along is probably called "falling in love", and slowly, slowly, it becomes inseparable. Yang Tong died, and the change in her mentality made her unwilling to live a careless life like "accepting her fate". Finally, on a beautiful night, when things came to fruition, she and her husband consummated the room.

With the intersection of soul and flesh, the relationship will naturally soar, especially when the husband and wife gather less and leave more, the relationship is also precipitated and sublimated bit by bit. After giving birth to a daughter, one's heart is completely settled, and there is a child. It will be even worse in the future.

As for Li Shimin, he was the one who took the initiative to divorce his wife and remarry, and the Li family even sent someone to kill her. This series of injuries made her heartbroken; By comparing them one by one, there is naturally a difference between high and low.The key is that time can dilute everything, it is the same for Li Shimin, and it is also the same for eldest grandson Wugou. Nearly ten years have passed, she can't remember what Li Shimin was like, and there is only a vague impression in her mind.

"If Li Shimin died, I think I would feel melancholy and sad because of the past. Then, the thought flashed, and it passed away...just like when I heard the news that my elder brother was killed...Probably that's how it is." The eldest grandson Wugou was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled sweetly: "Now I just hope that my husband will go to the battlefield safely and return home safely, that the two children will grow up happily, and that the whole family will be happy and healthy."

"I'm a little worried about Sister Ning'er right now." Xiao Yuexian put the robe in her hand into the basket, and changed the topic. She is also the daughter of the big rebel, and she is in a very similar situation to Li Xiuning. They have been comforting each other, but not long after she married into the Yang family, her father, Xiao Mian, gave up everything and surrendered. Now not only has he survived in peace, but he has also become a minister of the cabinet. He is very busy every day, but she can see that , my father's smile is much more than when he was the anti-king. Maybe it's because he doesn't have to think so much and worry so much like before, so he feels better.

Changsun Wugou looked at Xiao Yuexian who was full of worry, and met her beautiful eyes that were full of water, and couldn't help laughing: "Silly girl, if Emperor Tang died in the Li family's internal quarrel, for Xiuning, it would be nothing but It's a temporary pain; if Emperor Tang died in the dispute between Sui and Tang Dynasties, Husband and Xiuning would be completely different, even if Xiuning doesn't blame Husband, but when facing each other, there will inevitably be some grievances and it will be difficult to face."

Xiao Yuexian said: "So, the coup d'état in the puppet Tang court was actually a good thing?"

"What do you think?" Changsun Wugou smiled.

She knew that since ancient times, the two armies have fought with every possible means. After each battle, there are also battles in all aspects, which are fierce and dangerous, even more tragic than open swords and spears.

Knowing that the mission and glory of his father's life is to split the Turks, he used the invisible soft knife of wisdom to dismember the Turks again and again, weakening them in the internal struggle.

Her husband also said to her more than once, "General Changsun alone is better than a hundred thousand soldiers."The husband not only praised his father's achievements in the Great Sui Dynasty, but also used his father's method to continue to deal with the Eastern and Western Turks and the "Three Kingdoms of Liaodong".

However, the premise of all this is based on the Li family's own problems. If their father and son are of one heart and one mind, it will be useless no matter how bad the Sui envoy is.But no matter what, it's better for Li's own internal strife than her husband's outright action, at least it won't cause the Yang family's family to be uneasy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The three women were startled, and then Wei Fengwu asked majestically, "What's the matter?"

"Queen Qizuo, Yang Ren would like to see you." A strange voice came from outside.

The three women looked at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time.

How could Yang Renjin come here at this moment?Didn't he accompany Li Xiuning?Could it be...

Thinking of this, Wei Fengwu hurried forward to open the door, only to see Yang Tong standing alone at the door, and asked in amazement, "Why are you here?"

"Ning'er was in a bad mood, and wanted to be alone, so she drove me out." Yang Tong rubbed his nose and smiled wryly: "I have no place to sleep. Seeing that the light is still on at your side, I came here..."

"Why don't you close the door and come in?" Wei Fengwu blushed and welcomed him in vaguely, not knowing what she was muttering.

Yang Tong hurriedly turned around to lock the door like Feng Lun's voice. When he turned around, the room was empty, and the little dancing queen had already returned to the bedroom. The beautiful little woman blushed, bit her lip, and stared at herself in a daze.

One is more beautiful than the other, and one is more charming than the other. Yang Tong was elated when he saw this, and said with a smile: "It's freezing cold, let's get together to keep warm."

"Jing nonsense, it's summer, why is it so cold?" Wei Fengwu blushed, glared at Yang Tong angrily, and scolded: "Jing thinks something unscrupulous."

"It's only natural for husband and wife to share the same bed. Are you saying that it's not serious?"

"..." Wei Fengwu was completely defeated, that's what he said, but it was too much.

"Okay, okay!" Yang Tong took off his coat, threw it on the bed, rolled into it, and said, "Need to sleep tonight."

"..."

The three girls couldn't handle him, so they turned off the lights, undressed and got on the couch with half a push.

After a long time, the three girls who waited silently found that Yang Tong was really asleep, and felt strange. In the past, this guy would not be so honest, and he insisted on torturing them for half the night.

"Husband!" Wei Fengwu's voice suddenly came from the strange and ambiguous darkness, and Changsun Wugou and Xiao Yuexian immediately listened.

"Hoo, hoo..." Yang Tong fell asleep.

"Big sister, is your husband really asleep?" the eldest grandson Wugou who was outside asked in a low voice.

"Husband is very powerful. He sleeps when he wants to. Husband is like this, Tianji, Xiuning, and Mingyue are also like this." Wei Fengwu who squeezed to Yang Tong's side said softly: "Old soldiers seem to have such This kind of skill, the soldiers fight for a whole day when they are fighting, and when they are chasing after the victory, they chase and kill the enemy's defeated soldiers day and night, so everyone cherishes every moment of rest before the battle. The habit of falling asleep. Only recruits can sleep through the night because of excitement, nervousness, and fear. Let's sleep too."

"Ah."

After a long time.

Xiao Yuexian, who was sandwiched by the two sisters, opened her eyes, stared blankly at the top of her head for a while, then turned around suddenly, just in time to see Wei Fengwu's sparkling eyes.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and they were giggling.Xiao Yuexian said with a light smile: "Eldest sister, sister Xianfei seems to be asleep."

As soon as the words fell, Changsun Wugou snickered: "Me neither."

"How about we get up?" Wei Fengwu suggested.

"Okay."

"it is good."

After a while of whispering, the three girls ran away on tiptoe one after another, only one Yang Tong was left on the big bed.

……

The moon and stars in Luoyang are scarce, but the city of Chengdu is raining heavily. The whole towering and majestic Tai Chi Palace is shrouded in layers of rain curtains. The dust on the roofs and treetops has been washed away. A breath of fresh air.

The rainwater slid down the eaves and fell on the front of the corridor, and the thick water vapor permeated in from the open windows, soaking a small palace next to the Ganlu Hall so cool and pleasant.

There are no dazzling decorations in the hall, only a bronze incense burner is placed in the corner of the main hall. Light smoke curls up, and the faint scent of sandalwood lingers in every space, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.In the middle of the spacious hall was a table with carved lacquer, the shiny floor was covered with thick futons, and there were two people sitting opposite the table.

Li Shimin was wearing a light shirt, with a square scarf tied in his hair. Instead of the arrogance of killing his brother and forcing his father, he was replaced by a gentle and elegant atmosphere, like a Confucian who had read poetry and books and held the power of life and death in the Tang Dynasty. .

Kneeling opposite him was a beautiful nun. This nun was dressed in black and her hair was gone, but she couldn't lose her outstanding beauty. Snow lotus, dazzling eyes.

Although her pale face was not as delicate and tight as the virgin's, it did not weaken her beauty at all, but added a pitiful and delicate style, which made people more fascinated.

It's just that the bright eyes looking at Li Shimin are full of hatred, which also makes this beauty a little bit more hostile.

She is exactly Yang Xuan, Princess Qi who was given to Li Shimin by "Li Yuan" as his side concubine, and Li Shimin was each other's first love.

Li Shimin looked at her with a smile, like a hunter looking at his prey, and said: "Every time I come here, I seem to feel very comfortable and peaceful."

Yang Xuan looked at him with disgust, and said coldly: "That's because your hands are covered with the blood of your brother and nephew, and you are guilty of being a thief, and you are afraid of retribution... But I have no room for resistance here, so you can Let go of all the intrigues and tricks, and you will naturally be calm and peaceful." Death is easy, but Yang Xuan feels that committing suicide with hatred and shame is far less satisfying than seeing his enemy die with his own eyes.She believes in Buddhism, and always believes in the cycle of cause and effect, and firmly believes that Li Shimin, who killed his brother and nephew, and imprisoned his biological father, will suffer retribution.

Li Shimin chuckled, staring at Yang Xuan's beautiful and haggard face, and said teasingly: "Xuan'er is beautiful and beautiful, and I don't know how many men flock to him. I am not a gentleman. When facing Xuan'er, I am naturally impetuous and full of imagination. How can I be pure and clear?" .quiet and peaceful?"

"Li Shimin, my husband and son were killed by you... Your father and brother were also imprisoned by you... You have fulfilled your wish and you are satisfied, so why use such words to humiliate a weak woman like me, a ruined family?"

Yang Xuan's expression was mournful, and his complaints of extreme hatred made Li Shimin's stomach feel hot, and he almost rushed forward to knock the woman down, and savaged her fiercely.He took a deep breath: "Xuan'er, have you ever been happy when you married Yuan Ji? The dead are gone, but the living continue to live. Why let yourself live in hatred?"

"My husband is dead, my son is dead, and I am still coveted by the enemy. How can you not hate me? I didn't follow my husband and son Yu Jiuquan. I was afraid of death. Only by seeing that scene with my own eyes can I go to Jiuquan to announce the good news to my family with peace of mind." Yang Xuanping's flat tone was full of monstrous hatred, and such vicious curses made people feel chilled to the bone.

However, Li Shimin was not angry, but just sighed softly.For the position of the king, for the power of the sun and the moon, for the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, father and son turned against each other, brothers killed each other, and ministers could conspire against each other. Now I finally took the initiative and opened the door to slaughter. That is the most stupid thing to do.

A man and a woman with a blood feud, sitting opposite each other in this rainy night, listening to the heavy rain outside the hall, the atmosphere was surprisingly quiet.

Li Shimin, who was silent, took a sip from his teacup.

There was a sound of rain outside the hall, and there was a faint sound of thunder, but Li Shimin became more and more impetuous. He stared at the beautiful first love and younger brother in front of him, wondering if he would rush to tear her clothes, Vent this irritability.

Before they could take action, there was the sound of treading water outside the hall, and Yin Kaishan's voice sounded: "Your Highness, there is an urgent message from ahead that all Sui troops from all walks of life are approaching Yizhou."

Li Shimin's expression tightened, he got up and walked towards the entrance of the hall, and left in a hurry.

The hall returned to calm again.

Yang Xuan looked at the rain curtain outside the palace, with a mocking smile on his beautiful face: No matter how much Li Shimin cut her off from the outside world, in this palace built by her husband, how could no one tip her off?

The puppet Tang Dynasty was like this.Don't say that Li Shimin just killed his brother and imprisoned his father and brother. Even if he killed all the Li clan, what would be changed?Do you really think you have the ability to defy the sky?Do you really think that Yizhou, which is dangerous in Guanshan, can withstand the ever-victorious division of the Sui Dynasty?
Everything he did was nothing more than the madness before death.

Yang Xuan stood up leisurely, looked at the rain curtain for a while, and whispered: Retribution!Hope you come sooner.

……

"Crack!" The princess Dugu Mingxiu of the Eastern Palace slapped the table viciously, and said angrily, "Where did the prince go?"

A court lady replied with downcast eyes: "Go back to the crown princess, the crown prince, the crown prince seems to have gone to Yang Liangdi's place."

Dugu Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then an unknown fire surged up, and he scolded through gritted teeth: "What a vixen! My husband is dead, how dare you seduce my husband."

Li Shimin, who was walking quickly in the rain, couldn't help shivering.
