Chapter 218 If you have love, you must fight for it
The heavy snow that had been falling for four consecutive days finally stopped. The thick clouds gradually dispersed. The long-lost sun quietly peeked out, bringing a rare warmth to people in the harsh winter. They had been holding back in the military tent for several days.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty obviously enjoyed this rare leisure time. They all rushed to the martial arts field to play and have fun. They were as noisy as naughty children. Even the coach Li Xian was no exception.
, laughing and joking, happily playing with the generals to build a snowman, competing to see who could build it faster and higher, and the whole military camp was filled with noisy joy.
"Your Highness, news from the capital has arrived."
The happy time always seemed extremely short. Before the snowman was built, Luo Tong had already appeared, and whispered to Li Xian's ear.[]
"Yeah." Li Xian nodded calmly, patted the half-stacked snowman with the snowball in his hand, then clapped his hands with a smile, and told Liu Ziming who was waiting on the side: "Ziming, what's left?"
I'll leave it to you, don't lose my king's face, if you lose, hey, half a month's military pay will be deducted from you."
"ah……"
Li Xian competed with Jiang Ye, Li He and other young generals. Liu Ziming was cheerfully in front of the audience, but when he heard what Li Xian said, he was dumbfounded. He was about to tell the difference, but Li
Xian had already walked away, and when he saw that all the generals were vigorously building up their bases, they did not stop at all because of Li Xian's departure. He couldn't help but become anxious, screamed strangely, and rushed forward, busy with their hands and feet dancing.
When he got out of the way, his hurried look immediately made the onlookers burst into laughter.
The letter was not long, it was just a small piece of paper in a small copper tube. Even if it was densely written with words, it was only dozens of sentences. But Li Xian stared at it for a long time, and the more he read, the more he read.
His face became more and more gloomy. After being speechless for a while, he shook his hands and crumpled the note into a ball. When he rubbed his hands together, it turned into crumbs on the floor.
Trouble finally came - the impatient Li Xian launched a brazen offensive against the prince's side. Taking advantage of the new canal in Longmen Mountain that had just been completed, he immediately mobilized his ministers to jointly impeach the river governor Yang Wulian for using the name of river engineering.
He was greedy and unscrupulous, and all the evidence was conclusive and detailed. He slapped the prince's side hard. The prince was caught off guard and did not dare to protect Yang Wulian. He could only sit back and watch him being sent to prison. Soon, the two sides surrounded the river again.
A fierce court battle broke out over the candidate for the governor's successor. This time, Li Xian, who was obviously weak in the court, fought hard but was still at a disadvantage. However, Li Xian refused to give in and went to court to file the lawsuit.
When they arrived at the imperial court, the commotion became louder and louder. At the end of the day, Empress Wu came forward to make a ruling, each with fifty votes. The candidates proposed by both sides for succession were rejected, and Jia Dayin, a member of Zhongshushe, took over the important post of Governor of Hegong.
Jia Dayin didn't have much dealings with Li Xian in this life, but he was very angry with him in the last life. This was probably because this guy was Empress Wu's absolute confidant, a man of words and a sword, and he was in contact with Li Yifu, the treacherous prime minister of that year.
Similar, except that his ability is very mediocre, far less outstanding than that of Li Yifu, and he failed to climb to the high position of prime minister. It seems that such a villain actually became the governor of the river in such a grand manner. It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. This kind of thing
Only Empress Wu can do things.
The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman profited. This has been the case since ancient times. But no, no! Although Li Xian had already expected that such a scene would happen when he handed Yang Wulian's corruption evidence to Li Xian, but
When things really happened, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little angry. Of course, there was nothing Li Xian could do about it - it was disgusting to let Empress Wu gain power, but it was better than having her own power completely destroyed by the prince.
Well, now that the matter has begun, it is conceivable that there will definitely be several more fierce fights between the prince and Li Xian who are completely at odds. Under such circumstances, the prince naturally cannot think of attacking Li Xian again.
One party has done something about it. As for the matter of Empress Wu gaining power, Li Xian is really beyond his reach at the moment. He can only wait until he returns to the court to make plans. All he can do now is sit back and watch what happens. Li Xian
After pacing back and forth in the tent for a few steps, I gradually calmed down. Then I strode to the back of the copywriting desk, picked up a pen and wrote a secret letter, telling Di Renjie to grasp the overall situation, and he could only give in to others in vain, and must not be easily involved.
Enter the fight between the prince and Li Xian.
"Your Highness, Princess Mingyue has arrived outside the camp gate."
Before Li Xian could put down his pen, a guard hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, bowed and reported loudly.
"Um?"
When he heard Princess Mingyue running over, Li Xian couldn't help but be startled, and the hand that was resting his pen froze in mid-air - Li Xian has never been very good at love affairs. It can be said that he lacks the ability to take the initiative to coax girls.
Genxian, although he was quite impressed by Princess Mingyue at the dust-washing banquet a few days ago, that's all. At most, he no longer resists accepting her as a concubine. As for the rest, Li Xian really doesn't have much.
This idea, coupled with the heavy snow these days, Li Xian has no interest in going out. He has been resting in the camp and completely forgot about the incident with Princess Mingyue. At this time, someone came to the door by himself. What should I do?
The reception really made Li Xian a little nervous.
"Please, ah, no, I will go and greet you personally."
Everyone had come, and it would be unreasonable not to go see him for the last time. Li Xian smiled helplessly and stood up. He originally planned to let him go into the camp on his own, but after thinking about it, he felt it was wrong.
, immediately changed his mind, put the secret envelope on the envelope into a small copper tube, and threw it to Luo Tong, then walked out of the Chinese army tent and strode towards the camp gate.
The Tang army's barracks were not in the city, but far outside the east city gate. It was not that there was no place to stay in the city. In fact, before Li Xian's troops arrived in Khotan, Fu Jianxiong had already sent people to clean up the camp.
A large barracks in the south of the city was considered to be the place where the Tang army was stationed. However, Li Xian declined Fu Jianxiong and insisted on placing the barracks outside the city. This was not because Li Xian believed in Fu Jianxiong, nor did he dislike the poor conditions in the city, but
Li Xian believed that the army should practice three ambushes in the summer and three nines in the winter. Overly comfortable garrison conditions would only weaken the spirit of the army. Now that Anxi has not been peaceful for a long time, there are still several tough battles to be fought after the spring begins. If the morale of the army is slack, what will happen next?
It would be difficult to put it away. Therefore, Li Xian decided to set up the general camp in an open area outside the city, thinking that it would be convenient for troop training. Of course, troop training is convenient, but traveling would be troublesome, right? Especially at the beginning of the heavy snow.
When we stopped, even if we were only a few miles away from the city, it was obviously not easy to walk through the thick snow, even by carriage. No, look at Princess Mingyue.
From his slightly pale face, you can tell that this journey has not been easy.
"Look, look quickly, that is Princess Mingyue, our Highness's unmarried daughter-in-law. Wow, she is so handsome!"
"Tch, what kind of daughter-in-law, you are a local leopard, you have to call me the princess, do you understand?"
"Liu Da Scar, stop talking nonsense. Our Highness's unmarried princess is in Luoyang. This Princess Mingyue can only be a side concubine. Do you understand the side concubine? However, she is really handsome and worthy of our Highness."
…
There is no entertainment at all in the military camp. Women are always the constant topic. This has been the case since ancient times. A group of soldiers finally got some leisure time and saw a girl as beautiful as Princess Mingyue standing outside the camp gate. How could they
There is no need to crowd around and watch, so the black crows in front of the fence at the gate were crowded with people, all curiously looking at Princess Mingyue standing gracefully on the snow, and talking in low voices,
It’s not that I have any bad intentions, it’s just that I’m looking strange. It’s just that with so many people talking, the buzzing and buzzing sounds became a noise. When Princess Mingyue heard it, she couldn’t help but blush slightly.
.
Her face may be red and her heart may be panicked, but Princess Mingyue will not flinch because of this. Although her head has been slightly lowered, her body still stands upright, and her eyes are full of determination, because she has a belief in her heart to support her.
- If you have love, you should fight for it! Not only for the Kingdom of Khotan, but also for the love in her heart - Princess Mingyue has always been a very proud girl. When she learned that her father had betrothed her to Li Xian, Mingyue
The princess was not happy at first, and even had a quarrel in the palace. However, she could not bear the pressure from her father and brother, so she could only reluctantly agree. However, she had seen Li Xian's heroic appearance at the dust-cleansing banquet.
Especially after hearing Li Xian's inner voice from Li Xian's outstanding piano skills, Princess Mingyue became acutely aware of one thing - Li Xian was the person she had been looking forward to her whole life, and she did not want or want to miss such a person.
For an outstanding person, an engagement is just one thing, but the love between hearts is another. Princess Mingyue never wanted to let go of what she should strive for, so if Li Xian didn't go, she came by herself, for the love in her heart.
Come!
"What's going on? Why are you all gathering here? Where is the officer on duty? All those who gather without permission will be registered and their military pay will be deducted!"
Li Xian walked to the camp gate and saw that there were so many "soy sauce" guys. He immediately had a headache and had to act like a coach and roared. As soon as he said this, the onlookers burst into laughter.
They all ran away, but they didn't go far. They still gathered not far away and continued to watch the excitement. Not only the soldiers, but also Li Jinxing and other generals were all in the crowd, gesticulating and making noises.
These bastards! It was leisure time at this time. If the soldiers really wanted to watch, Li Xian had nothing to do. He could only curse in secret and didn't bother to pay any more attention. He shrugged his shoulders and strode out of the camp gate.
As soon as I saw it, I saw Princess Mingyue standing there in a silver fox fur robe, with picturesque features and fluttering clothes. She really looked like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world. With a tremble in my heart, I became a little crazy...
