Drunken Exquisiteness

A night of light snow sprinkled lightly, decorating the solemn and magnificent imperial palace, and it is another year of autumn and winter.

The whirling light snow fell on Tsinghua Station, before it accumulated, it turned into snow water, the warm ground atmosphere, everywhere was dew, fragrant and clear, it seemed to have entered the late spring moistened by drizzle. Under the magnolia tree, the phoenix bird-luan crane spreads its wings leisurely, with a clear cry from time to time, ethereal and pleasant.

Two rows of purple-clothed maids, holding bamboo baskets with orchids in their hands, fluttering with sleeves, walked through Qiongyuan into Tsinghua Terrace, fluttering like a fairy on Yaotai. The mist beside the five-color pool was misty, and Qing Chen was lying on his back on the jade couch, casually covered with Ye Tianling's robe, and the wide-breasted long clothes were scattered, giving it an elegant charm.

On the contrary, Ye Tianling sat on the couch with one hand, consciously or unconsciously, with one hand stroking the long hair beside Qing Chen, and with the other hand in front of his eyes, he wrote a few words. The inner pool of the five-color pool is connected to the greenhouse in the temple. Just after taking a bath, he didn't want to go to the Imperial Study Room for a while, so he ordered people to take today's performance. There are not many things, and I probably dealt with it properly when I talked and laughed with Qing Chen.

The maids came in to clean up the remaining herbs in the pond, and then sprinkled the orchids in the jade spoon into the pond. The green orchid was like a bitter fragrance. Qing Chen patted Xue Ying who was lying on her body, and put a piece of music back on the case: "Do you really let Yin Caiqian stay in northern Xinjiang?"

Ye Tianling lowered his head and said after a while: "If she insisted on requesting, she fulfilled her."

Qing Chen thought for a while and said, "Alright." Then he went back to take out a melodrama, just touched it, and suddenly the bottom of my hand was empty. Ye Tianling had already taken that melodrama away, and she changed his hand to the desk. No place.

"What are you doing? Haven't you finished reading here?" Qing Chen asked.

Ye Tianling didn't answer, but only ordered the rest of the melodies: "Look at these."

This meant that she was not allowed to see the share, Qing Chen said strangely: "Why didn't that share be shown to me?"

Ye Tianling said: "It's boring and trivial, you don't need to watch it."

Qing Chen turned around to ponder his look. Ye Tianling originally lowered his head to write something, but she stared at him for a while, then smiled and put the pen down: "I came in just now. You hid something and didn't show it to me. Let me talk about that first. What is it?"

Qing Chen turned her head and blinked, "I won't tell you."

Ye Tianling pointed at that Zou Shu, and shook her head. Qing Chenfeng glanced at her eyes, curled her hair and stood up, and Xue Ying jumped off her and moved towards Ye Tianling. She pulled back the bead curtain and said as she walked: "If you don't show me, I know what it is."

Ye Tianling said: "Then you don't need to read it."

"If you don't watch, you won't watch." Qing Chen slipped off his outer robe, followed the shallow steps down the five-color pool, and immersed in the water. The floating fragrance and black hair drifted away, and the pool water was so warm that it made people feel relaxed. She half-closed her eyes leaning on the edge of the jade pond, fiddled with a clear orchid, her mind still turned to the song.

It must have been a memorial request to the emperor to set up a concubine. This memorial has not been interrupted since the last incident in Lenggong. The emperor has been on the throne for more than three years, and so far the sixth house has been emptied, and the courtiers have long disapproved of it, especially the power of the family that is opposed to the Feng family is reluctant to see the daughter of the Feng family dominate the inner palace. Before they could not figure out the emperor’s thoughts, they saw that the emperor was deeply affectionate, and even some memorials and understatement, but suddenly there was something wrong with the cold palace, and it seemed that the flood that had been accumulated for a long time finally found its way out, and it was turbulent for a while. Come.

Ye Tianling rarely mentioned this to her, but in the past few months, seeing him promote the Feng family's relatives one after another, Qing Chen can also know about it. The central balance is nothing more effective than letting these noble clans contain themselves, and the Feng Family will not allow others to shake the queen's status in any way. Ye Tianling finally agreed to Yin Caiqian's stay in northern Xinjiang, perhaps because of this.

He is guarding for her, no one can even take a step in his and her home. Qing Chen breathed out slowly, sank a few minutes into the water, and suddenly heard a low laugh behind him. She turned her head, Ye Tianling was looking at something that Xueying had picked up from behind the tent, and she couldn't bear to laugh. Qing Chen was taken aback, and almost stood up from the water: "Xueying!"

Xueying heard the sound and slammed into Ye Tianling's arms, her tail flinched, and a pair of blue Jingjing eyes squinted at Qing Chen. Qing Chen was angry, and what Xue Ying picked up was what she refused to show Ye Tianling just now, but at this time she held it in Ye Tianling's hand. It was a belt with a black jade-colored base and gold wire inlay. Embroidered on it is...

Ye Tianling looked closely, his smile deepened, looked and looked again, and asked, "This is... a dragon?"

Qing Chen couldn't wait to grab Xue Ying over and beat him, and climbed the edge of the pool to stretch out his hand: "Return it to me!"

Ye Tianling walked to the edge of the pool and laughed hard, "Is it right?"

Qing Chenqiao blushed, and silver teeth bit her: "You can't tell!"

Ye Tianling seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and his shoulders trembled with a smile: "It was indeed at the beginning, I didn't see it."

Qing Chen couldn't laugh or cry, she was embroidering... well, the stitching method was a little bit worse, but she didn't see what it was, right? Seeing Ye Tianling's joking face, Xueying jumped on Ye Tianling's shoulders in twos and threes, squatting there with a vigorous expression, and she didn't know how he was pleased with Ye Tianling recently, now she can squat with her shoulders from time to time. "The seller begged for glory." She dropped an orchid and went over, and Xue Ying turned around and ran away hurriedly.

Ye Tianling squatted down by the pool with a smile, his white clothes slightly loose, and his arms half open: "Embroidered for me?" He asked in a low voice.

Qing Chen squinted at him: "No!"

"Oh?" Ye Tianling lowered his body and looked at her with a smile, "Not for me, who is it for?"

Qing Chen raised his hand to grab the belt, and he dodged her, her eyes were deep in her eyes, "Is it for me?"

Qing Chen half-turned his head, looked at him charmingly, with a slight smile at the corner of his lips: "You are the emperor, and you have to embroider dragons on your belt. I'm not a dragon, so why is it for you?"

Ye Tianling burst into laughter, feeling extremely relaxed, holding the belt and looking again. Qing Chen asked, "Is it a dragon?"

Ye Tianling raised her eyebrows: "Well, you said that, it seems to be true."

Qing Chen pursed his mouth and put his hands around his neck: "Really?"

"Well," Ye Tianling nodded solemnly, "It really looks more like it gets more and more."

The sly clear light in Qing Chen's eyes flickered, and he clung to his hand for a bit, then pulled him into the jade pond. Ye Tianling did not resist, and hugged her, and both of them fell into the pool. Qing Chen became mischievous, and after she stood firm, she splashed him with water. Ye Tianling's newly changed clothes had been soaked by her anyway, and she simply copied water to counterattack. The two children laughed and hided in the jade pond, with layers of water splashing, and they had a great time playing, where there was still a little empress.

Until Qing Chen was tired and shameless, Ye Tianling hugged her back on the couch and dried her body, comfortably nestled there. Xue Ying leaned over and was caught by Qing Chen, tapping its forehead to be punished, Xue Zhan came back from wherever he played, and went straight around Qing Chen.

Qing Chen smiled at Ye Tianling and said, "Fourth brother, look, there is a plea."

Ye Tianling squinted and leaned on the couch: "Then please raise your hand to the empress and let it go."

Qing Chen said: "Your Majesty, how dare your concubines not follow?" As she said that she loosened her hand holding Xue Ying, Xue Ying hurriedly hid beside Ye Tianling.

Ye Tianling was obviously in a good mood, and made an exception to allow Xueying to lie down on his chest, and just raised his hand to touch his head, but Qing Chen reached out and lifted Xueying away: "Who allowed you to lie down here?"

Xueying was thrown beside Xuezhan, and the two little beasts rolled into a ball. The fragrance was elegant and the sleeves were on her face, and she was already resting comfortably on his chest. There was a pleasant smile on his lips, this woman was jealous with a little beast.

He looked down at her with a smile in his eyes, and she raised the raised eyebrows as if it were a matter of course.

Ye Tianling said with emotion: "Woman." At this moment, I heard Yan Xi hurriedly whisper through the screen: "Your Majesty, Weizhou Babaili urgent report!"

Ye Tianling opened the bead curtain and stepped down to the dragon bed. Yan Xi took the emergency report and entered the house. The red seal was a military report.

After Ye Tianling saw it, a deep smile in his eyes sank, and his eyes were shining brightly and sharp as a sword. He turned to Qing Chen and said, "This Ten Thousand Shuofeng is actually at war with Tubo."

Before the Shengwu dynasty, a large area of ​​territory in the northwest was originally controlled by the Western Turks. The Celestial dynasty fought the Turks, and Tubo took the opportunity to expand northward and seize the territory. After the Rouran tribe replaced the Turks, the two sides have been facing each other.

Chi Lang Lunzan was ambitious. Princess Jingsheng passed away in the 27th year of Shengwu. The relationship between Tubo and the Tian Dynasty was once tense. Three years ago, King Zhan's soldiers frightened the border and married the Western Regions, which made Tubo not dare to act rashly for the time being. Wan Tuo Shuofeng had just taken a firm foothold at that time, recuperating, cultivating forces, and trying to avoid incidents.

In recent years, the internal affairs of the Celestial dynasty were unstable, and Tubo took the opportunity to move around. Ye Tianling gave a generous gift of esteem to appease him, and at the same time helped him to clear away the remnants of the Turkic forces, and successively annihilated the tribes of Tongluo and Pugu, and unified Mobei. Now Rouran is not what it used to be, and the contradiction with Tubo has become increasingly apparent.

Five days ago, Wan Tuo Shuofeng took the initiative to provoke a dispute and introduced 30,000 cavalry to attack the Tubo army with a quick attack tactic. Chilang Lunzan was not a mediocre person, and he immediately led his troops north, and the two sides fought shortly in the Shule River area.

In the past three years, Ye Tianling retreated to Tubo with tolerance and deployed secretly. As soon as this military report entered the capital, he immediately decided to send troops to the northwest.

In February of the fourth year of Emperor Yao, Ye Tianling paid homage to the general at Guangwutai of Xuansheng Palace, and ordered the general Nangong Jing of the upper army and Tang Chu, the general Wuwei, to attack Tubo in two directions with 200,000 troops.

At the end of the month, Nangong Jingsuo led the left army to defeat the Tubo army in Dafeichuan, and the Tuyuhun area, which was once annexed by Tubo, returned to the Chinese dynasty. At the same time, Wan Tuo Shuo Feng mobilized the Rouran cavalry, swung his army and attacked.

Chi Lang Lunzan examines the situation and wants to fix the situation with the heaven temporarily to ease the situation. Ye Tianling told the envoys and ordered Tubo to withdraw from the Western Regions, such as Shouye and Yami, which had been under their control, but Chilang Lunzan refused.

Ye Tianling had a tough attitude and immediately expelled the envoys and supported Khotan to send his troops south. Ten days later, Yutian conquered the capital city of Summi and wiped out the Tubo army in the city. The monarch of Sumiya was expelled from the country and went into exile in Tubo. The new monarch who succeeded to the throne bowed his head to the heaven.

In April, Ye Tianling transferred the elite troops of Sichuan and Shu, with Yue Qingyun as the general of Zuowei and the governor of Xizhou, from the Tongshan Road in Yuanzhou, over Baishui, and attacked Tubo westward.

The battle report is like snow, and a few days are sent to the sky. Wutai Hall is always brightly lit, day and night.

After years of painstaking management in Chilang Lunzan, Tubo has a strong national strength, brave cavalry, and has no shortage of capital to fight against the heavenly dynasty. In the past few months, there have been repeated wars, and the ministers of the DPRK and China quickly divided into the main battle and the main and the two factions.

Ye Tianling was determined, and once he decided to completely contain the Tubo forces, he would not waver. On this matter, Ye Tianzhan agreed with him, and he was the leader of the faction fighting in the DPRK.

This is another time that King Zhan clearly supports the emperor’s political views after following Lintai’s discussion.

In the dead of night, the Lord and the phoenix headed by the faction were pacing under the lamp, King Zhan's gentle smile under the sharp word front, and the unpredictable gaze of the emperor above the throne made him remember what Wei Zongping had said in prison. words.

This time the battle against Tubo Ye Tianling never came to the battlefield in person, but the strategizing was still the style of decisive use of soldiers in the past. After excluding the opposition from the DPRK and China, the battle was gradually stabilized, and the army was then launched to cooperate with the rapid attack of the Wan Suo Feng Lien Chan.

At the beginning of June, he and Wan Tuo Shuo Feng set up a scheme to lure the enemy, pretending that the two sides had a rift, deliberately released them to the Tubo prisoners, and lured Chi Lang Lunzan to attack Yecheng.

As expected, Chi Lang Lunzan was besieged by 100,000 troops in Mingshahai, almost completely wiped out.

The two armies of the Tian Dynasty and Rouran pursued the victory and won all five battles. Chi Lang Lunzan was also injured by Wan Tuo Shuo Feng in the battle.

After that, the army of the Heavenly Dynasty hurriedly recovered several towns in the Western Regions, and Wan Tuo Shuofeng led the Rouran cavalry to fight for thousands of miles and directly attacked the territory of Tubo.

The victory came, and the government rushed to celebrate, and the battle was already clear.

Chi Lang Lunzan suffered this big defeat and was unsustainable. He finally realized that Rouran was in a different situation from Turk. If he wanted to fight against them, he must not lose peace with the heavens, so he sent envoys to Hao Di to ask for an end to the war.

When the Tubo envoys arrived in Tiandu, they paid a private visit to Feng Yan and presented them with different treasure relic beads. The next day the envoy entered the dynasty, Feng Yan came out of the class and tried to accept the peace, and Emperor Hao finally decree to accept. Tubo claimed vassal and paid tribute to the Heavenly Dynasty, withdrew from the Western Regions, and recognized the absolute rule of the Heavenly Dynasty over the Western Regions.

In July of that year, the three parties formally retired their troops, each sent their envoys to Yumen Pass, set up a peace alliance monument, sweared by blood, formed a great peace agreement, the old hatred disappeared, and the new was better.
