Red makeup against the world

Chapter 1036
In the spring of the 18th year of Yanping, everything grew in good weather.

Since Emperor Yanping came to the throne, Emperor Qinglong has paved the way for him. The government and the public are clear and bright, and the high mountains and rivers are clear and the sea is clear. It is a prosperous and prosperous atmosphere.

In the dark, there are naturally various transactions that do not see the light, but these have existed since ancient times and do not affect the overall situation.Occasionally, the rich and powerful were domineering and officials were corrupt, and Emperor Yanping used thunderous means, and the turmoil caused by it was quickly subsided.

This spring, there is a great joy. Princess Zhaoyang, the imperial sister of Emperor Yanping, who is now Ketun of Khitan, is going back to China to visit her relatives.And as a vassal of Gaomang, please make her eldest son the new Khitan Khan.

Yuan Yingwu Weiyuan Khan had a sudden illness in the winter of last year.

After grief, Princess Zhaoyang suppressed the ready-to-move of various ministries and killed a group of leaders who wanted to seize the throne.With the bloody head inserted in front of the king's tent, the situation was successfully stabilized.

The Khitan envoys submitted their credentials during the Chinese New Year.

Emperor Yanping was overjoyed, which meant that Princess Zhaoyang had completely controlled Khitan.An imperial decree has been issued to deal with this matter wantonly.The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple also happily did such a thing of raising their eyebrows and promoting the country's prestige.No matter how tired, no one complained.

The common people in Beijing feel even walking with their heads held high than in the past.

The phoenix of Princess Zhaoyang entered the city from Dingding Gate, with a festive red carpet under her feet and colorful flags waving beside the road.She was dressed in Khitan Ketun costume, looking at the eager faces on both sides, holding back the hot tears in her eyes.

After all, she did nothing wrong. The Gao Mang Dynasty was handed over to the eldest brother, and he did better than he expected.

Under the signal of Emperor Yanping, Empress Fang organized a lively reception banquet to welcome Princess Zhaoyang.The royal family and relatives gathered together, and ordered his wife to come to congratulate him, creating a prosperous scene of flowers and brocades.

Empress Dowager Cao died of sudden illness in the sixth year of Yanping, and now in the harem, Empress Fang is the biggest.

There is no mother-in-law's oppression, the man is the emperor with power over the world, and the prince is her eldest son.Queen Fang's life was extremely comfortable and comfortable.

She sat on the queen's seat as firmly as Mount Tai, watching the scheming methods in the harem with cold eyes, and felt that the turbulent waves of the first half of her life were not in vain.

Empress Fang personally led the people to welcome Princess Zhaoyang back to Changle Palace.I haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law are both good people, and they became warmer after a few words, without any unfamiliarity.

When Emperor Yanping came down to court, the brother and sister showed their true feelings even more.For a while, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After everyone dispersed, the spring flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom and insects were chirping, and the night was just right.Emperor Yanping ordered people to place tea sets and snacks among a large peony bushes, and only the two brothers and sisters enjoyed the scenery and talked.

"Sister, I ordered people to plant this piece of peony after I ascended the throne." Emperor Yanping showed a reminiscing look, and sighed: "At that time, I just wanted to wait for you to come back one day so that I could take a good look at it."

"I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime." Emperor Yanping smiled and said, "Zhaoyang, you don't know how grateful I am to you."

Back then, if it wasn't for Princess Zhaoyang's careful arrangements, he wouldn't be where he is today.But at this moment, he said this sentence as the king of a country, but the meaning is worth studying deeply.

Princess Zhaoyang was clever and shrewd when she was young, and she had an outstanding political vision, even better than Emperor Yanping.Even Emperor Qinglong once sighed, how good it would be if she was a man.

At this time, she has experienced hardships and has become more restrained and wise.How could such subtexts not be heard?
At that moment, she stood up and bowed solemnly, saying: "Your Majesty, I am your sister, and even more your subject. You are a god-given emperor, with the power of a dragon, and now the world is surrendering, what do you have to do with my sister?"

The smile on Emperor Yanping's lips deepened, those compliments were just clichés, and it was Princess Zhaoyang's attitude that made him feel at ease.

"Get up quickly." Emperor Yanping said: "What's the matter, my brothers and sisters are talking, why are they so divided?"

Princess Zhaoyang said firmly: "I beg the emperor to take back what he just said, so that the imperial sister dares to get up."

"Okay, okay." Emperor Yanping said with a smile: "I don't say it." The emperor said the words well, but he accepted them willingly.

When he was still the king of Qi, he relied on Princess Zhaoyang's planning to protect himself, and then to seek great power.But how could he be a majestic emperor, owe anyone's favor?In just a few words, Princess Zhaoyang was forced to bury her past achievements in the smoke and dust of the past.

"It's rare to come back and stay for a while longer." They chatted a few words about children, and Emperor Yanping said: "Why don't you just stay in Beijing, who dares to say no?"

Indeed, the brother and sister are now the de facto rulers of Gao Mang and Khitan.Princess Zhaoyang mainly stayed in Luoyang like this, and the courtiers would not have any objections.She is Ke Dun of Khitan, and she stays in Gao Mang as a hostage.

Princess Zhaoyang lowered her eyes. She had thought about many scenarios when she came back, but the successive temptations from Emperor Yanping really made her feel a little chilled.

She put down the cup in her hand, and when she raised her face again, the expression on her face had returned to normal.He smiled and said: "Gao Mang is His Majesty's home, and my sister's home is now in Khitan. He is young and can't control the scene, so I should go back and help him no matter what."

"At the end of spring at the most, the emperor canonize Khan, so I should go back."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Emperor Yanping smiled a little more sincerely, and said: "What's the hurry, we'll leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. Children are debts from previous lives, and they will not be finished in this life."

He knows Princess Zhaoyang's resourcefulness well.Back then, he couldn't tolerate a Wu Zhengxiang, and now it's even more impossible for Princess Zhaoyang, who is of the same blood as him, to stay in the capital for a long time, bringing uncertain hidden dangers.

Since you are married to Khitan, then go back properly.Even if they are far away, whether it is the two countries or the two brothers and sisters, they may still be able to support each other.

"Your Majesty said so." Princess Zhaoyang responded lightly.

……

As early as the year when Emperor Yanping ascended the throne, the King of Chu had already gone to the fiefdom to become a vassal.This time, it was because of Princess Zhaoyang's return that he asked to return to the capital.The Ministry of Rites presented the booklet, and Emperor Yanping approved it.

In the Prince Chu's mansion, he set up a small feast for Princess Zhaoyang to have a drink.

A pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, two people, you drink a cup and I drink it up.

Princess Zhaoyang changed into a tall lady's costume, and all the ups and downs in the past have settled into the taste of the years on her face, and she looks more and more beautiful.

At this time, her face was slightly drunk, she was drinking while laughing, she turned her head to look at King Chu, and asked, "You ran so far, if I hadn't come back, would you have planned to return to Luoyang?"

King Chu's capacity for drinking was better than her, so he reached out and snatched the flagon from her hand, and said helplessly, "After so many years, you still can't drink. Why did you marry so far away, and that's why I ran so far away."

Princess Zhaoyang was a little drunk, she laughed and patted the table, and said, "Come on, let's have another drink."

Emperor Yanping, Princess Zhaoyang, and King Chu all came from the late Empress Dowager Cao, and they were brothers and sisters of the same father and mother.The three of them went through the most difficult time hand in hand, and because of this, no one understood Emperor Yanping's suspicious nature better than the two of them.

"Brother, come." Princess Zhaoyang looked at King Chu drunkenly, and asked with a smile, "I have a question that I have never asked you before. Are you really masculine?"

"Is it true? Is there a difference?" King Chu asked back.He smeared his own character and cut himself off from the throne. Only in this way would Emperor Yanping never doubt him from the beginning to the end.

"Hahaha..." Princess Zhaoyang smiled with tears, pointed at him and said, "Well said, there is no difference!"
