Chapter 349 Cleaning

The air in the imperial study seemed to be compressed and solidified. Yang Yuhuan's crying made Yu Chaoen feel like he was falling into hell. She told everything. Yang Guozhong betrayed him. His head was dizzy, his courage was broken, and his heart was broken. He crawled on the ground without realizing it, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty, my father died early, and the family ignored him. Thanks to Brother Yang's efforts to take responsibility, my father was buried in peace. Now he misjudged the situation and made him feel like he was in danger. I am willing to become a monk to atone for him to repay his old kindness. Sanlang, I am here to say goodbye to you!" After saying that, Yang Yuhuan's tears fell like rain, and his sorrow and sorrow were moved by the heaven and earth.

"Yuhuan, aren't you going to force me to death?

Li Longji stepped forward and tightly grabbed Yang Yuhuan's sleeve, for fear that she would leave, so his eyes turned red, "What a big deal, my heart would be broken if my Yuhuan cried like this."

Yang Yuhuan hugged Li Longji's legs and cried loudly, "Sanlang, I can't bear to part with you!"

Li Longji hurriedly squatted down, held Yang Yuhuan's shoulder, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't cry! Don't cry! I promised you."

Gao Lishi next to him sighed. Yang Guozhong had escaped this disaster. He walked over slowly and whispered: "Empress Do not worry. What Your Majesty said to the old slave just now needs to use Prime Minister Yang to stabilize the overall situation. Please rest assured!"

Yang Yuhuan's crying became lighter. She raised her tears and looked at Li Longji pitifully, "Sanlang! Is that true?"

Li Longji nodded heavily, "Yuhuan! That's what I think. Yang Guojiu was just confused for a moment, and I won't bother with him!"

Yang Yuhuan burst into tears and laughed. She then frowned and said timidly: "I interfere in state affairs for my own personal gain. Please do not blame me!"

Seeing Yang Yuhuan smile, Li Longji finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly comforted her: "How could I blame you! State affairs are family affairs, and family affairs are my affairs."

Naturally, he was no longer interested in handling political affairs, so he turned around and said to Gao Lishi: "I want to accompany my beloved concubine back to the palace. I will issue a handwritten order later. You will just criticize the Secretariat's servant to draft an order!"

After saying that, he gently helped Yang Yuhuan up, while whispering comfort, he slowly walked out. When he passed by Yu Chaoen, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gave Gao Lishi a wink. Gao Lishi was overjoyed, and he was killed without mercy!

After Li Longji walked a little far away, Gao Lishi looked at Yu Chaoen and sneered: "Eunuch Yu, I didn't expect you to be today."

Yu Chaoen's face looked like a mortal face, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Ahon, for the sake of my service to you in the past, spare my life! I am willing to raise a horse as a slave, and I dare not have any unfair intentions!"

"Give you a break!" Gao Lishi's face was as cold as water, and he sneered: "If I fell into your hands, would you spare me?"

Speaking of this, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Come here!"

Several guards responded, Gao Lishi pointed at Yu Chaoen and ordered word by word: "Drag this person out and beat him to death!"

"Aweng, please spare me! Aweng, please spare me!~" Yu Chaoen was taken out, and his desperate voice echoed in Xingqing Palace for a long time.

At the beginning of the 12th year of Tianbao, King Qing Li Cong was ordered to be killed by Li Longji for killing his brother. Then, his followers and those who had had close contacts with him were dealt with. King Rong Li Wan committed suicide, Chen Xilie dismissed the left prime minister and demoted to the Sima of Xuzhou; Minister of Revenue Zhang Jun was demoted to the governor of Jian'an, and his younger brother Zhang Ye was demoted to the Sima of Luxi; Minister of War Ji Wen was demoted to Long Biaowei, but someone reported that he had collusion with An Lushan, so he was immediately arrested and sentenced to prison. That night, Ji Wen hanged himself in prison.

Li Longji immediately issued an order, granting Longyou Jiedushi Geshuhan as the left prime minister and the Minister of Revenue, and was in charge of the affairs of the minister of the Central Secretariat. In the last imperial edict, An Lushan was removed from the Hedong Jiedushi, and ordered the general Wang Sili to be the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedushi and to temporarily serve as the governor.

On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, Princess Wanchun married Yang Guozhong's second son Yang Tsu. The festive atmosphere could not hide the tension of the current situation. A black mist quietly rose from Fan Yang.

A team of cavalry had already left Fengxiang and rushed northward. When approaching Longzhou, they slowed down again. This place was already the land of Longyou. It was winter. The earth was covered with a layer of green color. A golden sun was hanging high in the blue sky, sprinkling crystal-like and gentle light.

"General, I have never been as relaxed and comfortable as I am now. I feel like I am riding a mountain."

Li Heng, who should have died, was wearing a moon-white long gown and a flat-top scarf. He rode on his horse and kept looking at the endless Longyou Plain, greedily sniffing the fragrance of the soil in the air. He couldn't help but shout to the sky, then laughed, his face was full of youthful atmosphere that was not in line with his age.

Li Qing looked at the reborn prince with a smile. He understood Li Heng's mood. He had been the prince who had been walking on thin ice for many years, but was suddenly abandoned. Then he struggled in pain and despair. His future was only death. Now, he was completely freed, abandoning the shackles of his identity and leaving the threat of death. Li Heng, who used to be dead, had become a civilian.

"Although the common people are humble, they have no thoughts or desires. A blue sky and a warm sunshine can make them happy. Your Highness has already experienced this happiness."

"No thoughts and no desires!" Li Heng exhaled a long sigh, "Maybe you are right, don't call me Your Highness in the future."

At this time, a soldier pointed to the front and said in surprise: "General, look!"

Li Qing straightened his body and looked into the distance. He saw a long black line faintly appear at the end of the sky, winding rapidly, "It's a cavalry!"

He immediately woke up and turned around and smiled at Li Heng, "Our crown prince is here."

The cavalry approached, and it was indeed Anxi Jingqi. A carriage was galloping out of the team and parked in front of them. The car door opened and a man walked down from inside. His face was thin and his eyes were quiet and peaceful. It was Li Yu who had just recovered from a serious illness.

He saw Li Heng at first sight and his calm eyes became excited. He quickly walked to his father's horse and slowly knelt down, "I'm here to welcome my father!"

Li Heng turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and helped his son up. He looked him up and down, and said in a trembling voice: "Have Wang'er's illness cured?"

"My father, my child's illness has improved a lot, but he is still a little weak and cannot ride a horse."

Li Heng nodded comfortably, "That's good! That's good! My father also got in the car, I have a lot to say to you."

Li Yu hurriedly supported his father, and the two of them slowly walked towards the carriage.

The father and son got on the carriage and went to discuss in detail. General Xi Yuanqing here also stepped forward to greet Li Qing, "General, brothers, all the brothers have finished packing, you can set off at any time!"

"Set out? Who said I'm leaving? Tell my brothers to stay in Longzhou with peace of mind!" After the order was issued, Li Qing smiled slightly again, patted Xi Yuanqing on the shoulder, and whispered: "Let's just wait to see the good show of the crane and clam fighting!"

Xi Yuanqing was stunned. He suddenly remembered something, took out a thick envelope from his bag, handed it to Li Qing and said, "This is the general's family letter, which was just delivered yesterday."

Li Qing took it and saw the word "urgent" written on the letter skin. He was shocked, "Is there anything wrong with Jingyan?" He hurriedly tore open the letter skin. There was a thin letter inside. This was written by his wife Zhao Lian, but he just said that everything was fine at home and that Li Jingyan was healthy and told him not to worry. He also asked him to pay attention to his health outside. At the end of the letter, his daughter drew a little cat head with a pen, which was a greeting to his father. Li Qing felt warm in his heart.

The envelope was still thick, obviously there was content inside. He put the envelope round and there was still a letter, which was folded squarely. He took out the letter and spread it. There was no word on the white letter skin. He was a little surprised. When he opened it, the beautiful words appeared in front of him. However, the content in the letter seemed to have been blown up by Li Qing's heart, and all kinds of flavors filled his heart.

After a while, he sighed, put away the letter, waved his hand gently, "Go back to Longzhou first!"

In the carriage, Li Yu had quickly calmed down from the excitement of hearing the crown prince. He was different from other emperor grandsons. He had witnessed his father's tail in the East Palace when he was a teenager. That period of time left a deep impression on him. To this day, this situation was finally his turn. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he whispered to his father: "Father, is there any possibility that you are staying with your child?"

Li Heng shook his head gently, and hugged his son's shoulder lovingly and said, "Silly child, Dad is dead, how can he appear again? You are assisted by Li Mi and supported by Li Qing outside. You will only do better than me. Besides, the times are different. An Lushan is about to rebel and the emperor is old. He knows that you are the crown prince, and other princes will inevitably disobey you, so you will inevitably delegate more power to take on the responsibility of the crown prince as soon as possible. This is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he will not make the crown prince again."

His father's words made Li Yu's concern for the crown prince gradually disappear. He remembered his father's future and asked worriedly: "Where is Daddy going? Can the child see Daddy again?"

"I don't know either. Maybe I will go to Jiannan to retire, maybe I will go to Yangzhou to do business, or even go to Suiye to be a small county magistrate. These are all possible."

Li Heng stared out the window, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. After a long time, Fang said lightly: "Actually, my father also knows that I am not dead,

But it doesn't matter whether I really die. What's important is that I'm already dead in the royal record. Even if I appear again in the future, it will be a fake Lee Hyung."

Li Yu was also silent. The carriage was very quiet. Only the wheels were heard rumbling. Seeing that his son's face showed sadness, Li Heng smiled and pinched his shoulders and said, "But I am very relieved to you. You are gentle and elegant. You will definitely be a good emperor in the future. You work hard to govern and recreate the prosperous Kaiyuan period and pass on my Tang Dynasty for generations."

Li Yu didn't say anything, his eyes flashed, obviously thinking about something else. His lips moved and finally couldn't help asking: "Father, how should I get along with my relationship with Li Qing in the future?" Then he added, "I mean the time in the East Palace!"

Li Heng was slightly stunned, "Is this what Li Mi told you?"

Li Yu nodded gently, "The master thought that after quelling the An Lushan Rebellion, the emperor would inevitably attack Li Qing. If I get too close to him, it would probably affect my position as the prince. He would keep me and Li Qing a distance."

"What about you?" Li Heng's tone was a little cold.

"I think this is the front and back of a knife. The master only sees one side that hurts himself, but not the other side that can hurt people with this knife. With Li Qing's support, isn't it a kind of protection?"

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief, "My son can think like this, which is enough to relieve his father. Your master doesn't understand Li Qing, so he said that, but Li Qing was promoted by his father. Back then, he was the backbone of the princeling party, and even Li Linfu fell into his hands several times. Do I still don't understand him? Li Cong, Yang Guozhong and others, Li Qing didn't take it seriously at all, and disdained to fight with him. A piece of letter made them so as to be wiped out. This time, his father was able to escape the death of his death successfully. This time, such people can only be reused and not become enemies!"

Speaking of this, Li Heng held his son's hand tightly and stared at his son's eyes and said solemnly: "Wang'er, Yang Guozhong is my mortal enemy, and he will be your mortal enemy. If you do not have the strong support of Li Qing in the future, how can you defeat the Yang family alone? Remember! The Eastern Palace is just the beginning of your journey to the emperor, but your own strength is the foundation for your ascension to the throne. This is a bloody lesson for the prince for twelve years for your father!"

Li Yu suddenly realized, and he nodded slowly.

It was already late at night. Li Qing stood in front of the curtain with his hands behind his back, staring at a lonely star in the south. In his tent, a letter filled with beautiful small characters lay quietly on the table.

It was a letter written from Nanzhao. The seven-year agreement finally became the month of the water. "The empress dowager died and the king was young. I couldn't bear to leave, so I could only kowtow to you and meet again.













How can everything be perfect in life? Gains and losses are just a matter of thought. Gains may not be happy, and losses may not be sad. Li Qing, who has experienced ups and downs, has long understood the vicissitudes of the world. Staying in Nanzhao may be her best destination.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, which is the norm. Li Qing silently puts his letter into the brazier. In the reflection of the fire, a swan that invites him to dance gradually swims in the long river of time.

On the Lantern Festival in the 12th year of Tianbao, the princess’s marriage was a bit more romantic. The lamp market was like day, and the eyes of the lover became particularly gentle, either side by side at the bridge or join hands under the moon. The lamps were similar every year, but people were different every year.

But the same thing is the interest of Chang'an citizens to lanterns. After dinner early, it was dark, and every household was frustrated. They carried their wives and children to watch the lanterns. There were already crowds of people watching the lanterns, and there were many people watching the lanterns, and there were also many people watching the people. Those who guessed riddles, fortune tellers, arts, and jewelry and wooden swords all found a corner, and the business was booming, which made them so busy that they were out of touch.

Xingqing Palace was also hung with various lanterns, which were made of famous craftsmen, decorated with jade pearls, and looked jewel-like and more gorgeous than the lanterns on the street. However, the people watching the lamps did not see it. The lights in the Qilin Palace were brilliant and laughter were noisy. Today is the day when Li Longji married his daughter. He was very excited and specially invited ministers above the fourth rank in the palace.

‘Bang!Bang!’ The crisp applause sounded in the hall, and the whispering hall suddenly became quiet. Li Longji stood up excitedly and raised the cloud board to say to hundreds of important officials who attended his private banquet: “Today’s New Year’s Eve, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. It is the time for everyone to have fun together. To congratulate my beloved daughter, I specially rehearsed the colorful dress dance with the concubine. Please appreciate it!”

After saying that, he gently knocked on the scattered board, and a melodious sound of silk and bamboo seemed to come through the forest and water, floating in the hall. The Xiaoguan was melodious and the sheng flute was circling. Just when I was drunk, the music was refreshing, which naturally made people feel refreshed. Suddenly, the sound of the golden bell tinkled up tactfully, and a row of palace maids swayed out on both sides of the hall, singing softly with their hands behind their backs:

"Tinggao is looking at the extreme, and the lotus in the river has not yet been recovered. It is sick but has no strength. Besides, the silk fan is gradually sparse, the silk clothes are just a rope, and the light passes through the gap. I sigh at the apricot beam, and the two swallows are like guests. Where is the person? The light moon in the curtain is as if it is shining on the color..."

The sound became lower and lower, and the candlelight gradually became darker. As the sound disappeared, the joy was still there. When Guanghan Moon Palace was waiting for people, everyone was inspiring. They looked out of the hall together. They saw two teams of daughters in long-sleeved gauze skirts flying in the moonlight. The beautiful figure swayed, graceful figures, and long sleeves trembled, like lotus flowers blooming. Fairies danced and turned into petals. Among the lotus stamens, Fairy Guanghan was rising slowly. She looked beautiful, just like Yang Yuhuan, who was ashamed of flowers. She saw her eyes flowing, and her red lips opened and sang:

"Silent, singing on the walls. Moving Yu Xin, clear sorrow is like weaving. I pondered about the waves of youth. The flute is surrounded by mountains, the willows are under the streets, and there is no information. The dark water is floating, and the trickle is floating in the blue sky. I have been floating for a long time, but now I am drunk and sleeping on the side of the winery!"

After singing, he sighed quietly, lying drunk on the lotus petals, his jade arms are like lotus roots, and his breasts are half exposed. The melancholy feeling was like Chang'e's regret medicine. The ministers were amazed in their minds. Yang Guozhong's eyes were regretful and sighed in his childhood that he didn't know the beauty was beside him. Ge Shuhan next to him did not feel the wine in the glass of wine overflowed, and his eyes were filled with an extremely hot color.

Li Longji stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, thinking about the joy of the pear garden. Under the bright moon, he raised his glass frequently to persuade him to drink. There was a burst of laughter in the hall, singing every night, buying out the king's smile.

Several strong horses rushed into Mingde Gate. In front of them, there were crowds of people watching the lights. The horse knights did not slow down, but instead raised their whips to whip the war horses. The war horses neighed and rushed around the crowd. "People in front of them dodge!" The people on the horse were like huge thunder, which scared the people watching the lights to stumble. They all carried their wives and children to escape to both sides.

The heavy sound of horse hooves rushed through the plaque in front of Xingqing Palace. The knight turned over and dismounted and handed the letter of excitation in his hand to the eunuch on duty. An eunuch held up an emergency report of 800 miles and rushed into the hall. "Hebei urgent report! Hebei urgent report~!" He crawled in front of the hall and shouted loudly: "Emperor! Hebei urgent report, An Lushan raised an army to rebel!"
