A glass of wine, what does it look like, what will be your name after death? All things in the world, a hair is always more important than a mountain of tai. Sadness is not the source of parting, happiness is not the joy of new acquaintances, the love of children from ancient times to the present. Wealth and honor are not my business, I belong to the White Ou Alliance.

…
At this point, Mrs. Pei sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this Xue Zhao is quite strong."
Empress Zhang sneered and said: "Humph, she is not completely staunch, but she understood at the last moment that only death can allow Deng Bi to avenge her and Princess Taiping!"
Mrs. Pei thought for a while and said: "What the empress said is absolutely true. After Xue Zhao died, Deng Bi returned to Chang'an and single-handedly assassinated the Supreme Emperor (Li Longji), turning Chang'an upside down and making the palace restless.
The two of them, one in the dark and the other in the light, faced off at the top of the Forbidden City. They were locked in a stalemate, fighting to the death!
Later, when the prairie cavalry knocked on the border and the border was filled with smoke, Gao Lishi, through Taifu Xu, mobilized his concubines, the old feudal lord Weng Dugu, the old clan lord Changsun and other patriarchs of the great families to come forward to mediate. With emotion and righteousness, Deng Bicai stopped and fled.
Enter the Dao Gate and guard Qingcheng.
From then on, the Supreme Emperor (Li Longji) and Deng Bi confronted each other from north to south, divided the borders and governed each other, each performing his own duties, not restraining each other, and living in peace and harmony."
Thinking back to the time when Deng Bi entered the palace alone and made his way in and out of the tens of thousands of forbidden troops, even Mrs. Pei, who had always been jealous of Deng Bi, couldn't help but yearn for it. Her face glowed and she blurted out: "If there is a man
If you are willing to challenge the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for me and fight to the death, my concubine’s death will be worth it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Pei realized that she had made a mistake. She quickly pretended to choke on water, covered the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and kept coughing.
Empress Zhang turned to Mrs. Pei, smiled lightly, and said jokingly: "Let me guess, the reason why Madam hates Deng Bi so much is not entirely because of Deng Bi's refusal to marry, but because of Madam's deep love for Deng Bi."
, no more than Wang Shu and Xue Zhao, but Deng Bi didn't take his wife seriously at all, right?
Madam loved Deng Bi deeply and felt deep responsibility."
Mrs. Pei lowered her head in embarrassment, and then she came to her senses and regretted telling the truth. These haunting things should have rotted away in her stomach.
Seeing Mrs. Pei's shyness and embarrassment, Queen Zhang changed the topic and asked, "What happened to Zhang Luxun later? Why have I never heard of this person?"
Mrs. Pei said: "As soon as Xue Zhao died, Zhang Luqi knew something was wrong and ran away overnight.
When the Supreme Emperor heard that Xue Zhao had committed suicide and that Zhang Lu was escaping, Long Yan was furious and issued an arrest warrant and a large reward for Zhang Lu's capture.
This piece of deer paper is like disappearing from the world, it is unknown whether he is alive or dead, and there has been no news about him since."
Empress Zhang thought to herself: "With Li Longji's usual dark methods, this deer has been secretly killed long ago by Li Longji. How can Li Longji allow him to live in the world after doing such a shameful thing?!"
Empress Zhang asked Mrs. Pei: "Madam just said that Bai Fu is like Deng Bi in his youth. Why doesn't Madam betroth her daughter to Bai Fu and fulfill her wish?"
Mrs. Pei put away her smile and said seriously: "
I have always looked down on children from poor families. It is not because their families are poor, but because they are unwilling to be born poor and humble. In order to prove themselves, they want to climb the ranks of dragons and phoenixes and become prosperous.
They studied hard for ten years, and finally passed the imperial examination and became officials in the court. They wished they could jump over the dragon gate and rise to the top in one step.
These children from poor families who are trying their best to climb up the ladder, at best, are called enterprising. At worst, they will often do whatever it takes to achieve their goals for the sake of their career.
For example, Sima Xiangru played the qin to challenge Zhuo Wenjun. I don’t understand. How could the vulgar story of a scumbag seducing a rich man become a legend through the ages?
It is true that Xue Zhao cheated on Zhang Luxing because of his love affair, but it is also true that Deng Bi ignored his wife and children. As the saying goes, flies do not bite perfect eggs.
Therefore, I will never let Xiao Zhong marry Bai Fu. Even if he is talented and has unparalleled martial arts skills, even if he is granted the title of Marquis and Chancellor today and is a very popular minister!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Pei's words were sharp and powerful.
Pei may have been naive and romantic when she was a girl, but after becoming a woman, she became stronger as a mother, and she had long since abandoned those unrealistic fantasies.
…
The past story of Deng Bi and Xue Zhao was full of ups and downs and was quite legendary, which made Empress Zhang even more imaginative.
After Mrs. Pei left, Queen Zhang went boating in Taiye Lake. Looking at the sparkling lake, she suddenly had a thought:
"Xue Zhao is Deng Bi's weakness, why isn't Qingluan Bai Fu's guard?
If you follow the same pattern, I don't believe that I can't deal with you, just for nothing!
Without the aura of being a consort, would Bai Fu still be so popular and powerful?
Perhaps, only when Bai Fu is in a desperate situation and is isolated and helpless, will he kneel at my feet and become my man."
Thinking of this, Queen Zhang's eyes suddenly opened up, as if she had found a way to conquer Bai Fu.
So, who is the other "Zhang Luxu" who can seduce Princess Qingluan?
Empress Zhang slowly stirred the bird's nest cup with a golden spoon, frowning deeply, and fell into deep thought again.
"Are there any successors of the Huajian Sect in this world?"
…
The suspects who assassinated Bai Fu in Jiacheng have been arrested one by one. Just when the arrest operation came to an end, something happened again in the southeastern corner of the Tang Empire.
After An Lushan rebelled, war broke out in the northern part of the Tang Empire. Half of the country was ravaged by the rebels, and the capital fell. The eastern capital of Luoyang was lost and regained, and gained and lost again.
Only in the Jianghuai area, which is a land of wealth, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan's persistence in Suiyang City prevented the rebels' attempts to go south to Jianghuai again and again, saving the Jianghuai area from the ravages of war. Even with the short-lived death of Yong Wang Li Lin
The rebellion was quickly suppressed.
Taking too long to level up will inevitably make people become numb and careless.
Although the smoke of the Anshi Rebellion has been lingering over the Tang Empire for five years, the officialdom in the Jianghuai area is still peaceful. All civil and military officials are greedy for pleasure and lazy.
From being a high-ranking official to a primary school in Tuen Mun, I am still living in the afterglow of the prosperous Kaiyuan era, intoxicated by the singing voices of singers on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
However, what is supposed to come will eventually come. When an avalanche occurs, every snowflake is not innocent.
In the first year of Shangyuan (AD 760), the peace and tranquility in the Jianghuai area was finally broken by a sudden rebellion.
The person who launched the rebellion was Liu Zhan, the deputy envoy of Huaixi Jiedu and the governor of Songzhou (now SQ City, Henan Province). A ruthless man who was originally unknown, but because of the Anshi Rebellion, he came to the center of the stage and started a fight on his own.
The curtain made the Datang Empire, which was originally leaking from all sides, even worse.
