Chapter 26 The Emperor's Daughter Gao Yang
On the day of the birth of the Sun True Lord, Chang'an City will be on vacation and rest.
All civil and military officials put on spring clothes, took their families, rode horses and carriages, and went out for a trip.
The scholars gave each other a knife and ruler, which means that they will cut from the severe winter from today, embrace the warm spring sun, and pursue a bright future.
Farmers gave each other green cloth bags containing seeds of crops such as grains, fruits, etc., praying for good weather and good harvests in the new year.
Relatives and friends gathered together to drink spring wine, and every family was so intoxicating that they were helping them.
On this day, slaughter is prohibited and slaughter is stopped.
"I remember a poet once said: In the beginning of February, spring is coming in the middle, and the fancy sun is thin and the willows are windy. The flower-breaking guest is a rogue, and the road is full of redness."
Su Dawei said casually to Nie Su beside him.
Of course, it was brought to Nie Su's worship.
Su Dawei felt a little guilty, but unfortunately he went out together today and didn't bring Li Bo with him.
Li Bo has a very knowledgeable and attainable experience, and he can probably hear the problem with just one ear.
After all, Su Dawei's copying of this article was a poem by Yang Wanli, a native of the Song Dynasty.
It's still a little different from Tang poetry.
But enough people who don’t understand it are fooling around.
Su Dawei followed Nie Su, the big white bear Shen Yuan, and Nan Jiulang who had just returned to Chang'an. The group walked along Zhuque Street and towards the Sun Zhenjun Palace.
There were endless pedestrians along the way, one after another.
Su Dawei took Nie Su's hand and turned to Nanjiurou and said, "What's going on in Japan?"
"It's been quite smooth recently, and Uego Shrine has also calmed down. Their witch seems to say that they will come to Chang'an to ask for Su Shuai in the near future."
"The witch is coming to Chang'an to find me?"
Su Dawei was stunned when he heard this, and Xuezi's appearance flashed through his mind.
What did she do?
"Su Shuai, look at the front!"
Suddenly, Nan Kyuro made a gesture with some excitement and pointed forward.
Nie Su and Shen Yuan followed his gesture and only saw the abortion, but found nothing unusual.
Su Dawei looked at it for some reason, and his face suddenly changed.
The crowd was constantly moving, and a woman suddenly appeared in the crowd ahead.
Several Jinwu Guards set out the way in front of the woman to separate the abortions.
The noise around it seemed to be isolated.
The woman was dressed in plain clothes and had a pale face.
Walking in the sun, like a ghost.
The body is thin and thin, as if it will fly away at any time.
I have only seen this woman's face once, and I will never forget it in this life.
Nie Su was a little slower than he saw the woman.
Her face immediately showed a warning: "Brother, who is this woman?"
The little hand below grabbed Su Dawei's hand with force, as if he was a little worried.
“That’s…”
Su Dawei's face showed a strange look.
"Gaoyang."
Princess Gaoyang.
In the fourth year of Yonghui, Gao Yang and Fang Yiai were both demoted to Bazhou by Li Zhi because of Fang Yiai's rebellion case.
Bazhou is near Bazhong City, Sichuan Province in later generations.
During the Tang Dynasty, it was a wild place.
This result was still something Su Dawei tried hard to win.
I originally thought that I would never see Princess Gaoyang again in my lifetime, but who would have thought that I would meet her at this moment.
"Ten... eleven years have passed. Su Shuai and Princess Gaoyang have been demoted to Bazhou for eleven years. She is back!" Nan Jiulang said excitedly.
"Jiulang, do you know Princess Gaoyang?"
"Ahem, Su Shuai is joking. What is my identity... But when Princess Gaoyang and Fang Jun were demoted, I met in front of the city gate and were deeply impressed in my mind."
Nan Jiulang was quite emotional: "In a blink of an eye, eleven years have passed. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would still see Princess Gaoyang's face again, she..."
I want to say that I am like a celestial being or a fairy, but when I say something, I suddenly realize my identity.
Nan Jiuro coughed quickly and held back.
Nie Su asked suspiciously: "Princess Gaoyang, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
"In the fourth year of Yonghui, I also participated in the case of Gao Yang and Fang Yiai."
Su Dawei said something briefly, but thought to himself: Gao Yang must have received Li Zhi's pardon order when he came back this time, but he just didn't know what happened to Fang Yiai?
The cases of that year were very involved.
The son-in-law Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu, and Fang Yize beheaded.
King Jing Li Yuanjing, Li Ke, and Princess Baling committed suicide.
Yuwen Jie and Li Daozong were exiled to Lingnan by his lack of thought.
King Li Yan of Shu was a commoner and was exiled to Bazhou.
He was demoted to the position of Tongling County, Chunzhou.
He demoted Fang Yiai and Gaoyang as commoners and exiled to Bazhou.
Xue Wanche's younger brother Xue Wanbei was exiled to Jiaozhou.
After the suspension of Fang Xuanling's gifts in the ancestral temple.
Others, it is said that someone has died in a foreign land, but they have never heard of Fang Yiai and Gao Yang.
These two people can be said to be the creators of the entire case.
Now that Princess Gaoyang has suddenly returned to Chang'an, what kind of signal does this reveal?
Did Your Majesty pardon Princess Gaoyang out of family affection, or did he have other purposes?
Su Dawei frowned slightly, thinking about something.
As soon as this delay was done, Princess Gaoyang and her group had already separated and left.
Su Dawei dragged La Nie Su, Nan Jiulang and others, and hurriedly avoided the roadside.
It would be fine if those people didn't know Gao Yang's identity. Since they knew they were Princess Gao Yang of the Tang Dynasty, they could not lose their etiquette.
I originally thought of waiting for Princess Gaoyang to go to the Sun Palace again.
Unexpectedly, when Gao Yang passed by Su Dawei and others, he stopped and looked up and down in surprise.
"You are Su Dawei?"
Princess Gaoyang's voice was filled with weakness. I wonder if it was because of the life of exile in Bazhou for more than ten years that had eroded her body.
She showed a sense of pathology and fragility throughout her body.
"That's right, Princess Gaoyang knows me?"
"Mu Mei, and Your Majesty, the three of us have a good relationship before..."
Princess Gaoyang's eyes fainted: "She mentioned it in front of me, and I later learned that it was you who helped His Majesty to change your mind. I have always remembered your love."
"Why do you need this princess? I am a bad handsome man. It is my duty to solve the case."
Su Dawei saluted with his hands crossed and said modestly.
Nan Jiulang behind him had already pulled Shen Yuan with a confused look on his face and knelt down to Princess Gaoyang, not daring to look directly at Princess Datang at such a close distance.
Someone nearby casts curious eyes here.
However, at the feet of the Chang'an Emperor, the people have seen many worlds and have not attracted much attention.
"Su Dawei, I heard... you have a good relationship with Master Xuanzang?"
Princess Gaoyang hesitated and said, "Master..."
"The master passed away last month."
Su Dawei said solemnly: "The princess is concerned about it when she is working."
Gao Yang stood in the shadow, and seemed to have his soul been pulled away in an instant.
After a long time, he spoke: "The Master had a "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" before his lifetime, which was written by the Master and Bian Ji. Do you know?"
"I know, I went to see the mage two months ago. The mage handed me this book and asked me to fulfill one of his wishes."
After hearing Su Dawei's words, Gao Yang suddenly looked up and a hopeful light appeared in his eyes.
"Can you show me this book?"
"this……"
"Just just look at it. I won't make you embarrassed. I just want to see it with my own eyes. As long as you look at it for a moment, you will be with you. Just think it's fulfilling one of my wishes." Princess Gaoyang stared at Su Dawei with her eyes, and a fragile plea flashed in her eyes.
"This...well."
"I, I will go back to my original mansion first, rest for a day, and I will only enter the palace to see Your Majesty tomorrow. Can you give it to me today?"
"I'll send it to the princess's mansion in a while."
“Very good.”
Gao Yang stretched out his hand and gently stroked the dispersed hair to his ears. A smile finally emerged on his pale face.
But this smile is so haggard that it makes people feel distressed.
...
"Your Majesty, Princess Gaoyang, has been escorted back to the house."
Li Zhi leaned against the big chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to Wu Meiniang reviewing the memorials for him, and the tip of the pen made a rustling sound like a spring silkworm on the paper.
When he heard the eunuch's personal eunuch's message, his eyes opened, and for a moment, a very complicated look appeared in his eyes.
"Gaoyang is back."
Wu Meiniang, who was holding the pen, paused slightly, and a drop of ink dripped on the memorial.
She kept silent and stroked her.
“Have you been going smoothly all the way?”
"It all went smoothly, but when he was in the Suzaku Taoist, Princess Gaoyang met Su Dawei."
"Um?"
"what happened?"
"The princess talked to Su Dawei for a while, and I heard that she was asking Su Dawei for a book."
"What book?"
"The "Stories of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" left by Master Xuanzang."
"The monk's oral statement was written by Bian Ji himself. There is only that book in the world."
Li Zhi's eyes closed slightly, as if thinking.
"Gaoyang, what are she thinking?"
"Your Majesty, do you want it..."
"No, don't disturb Gao Yang, let her have a good rest for a day."
"yes."
...
Assisting Li Zhianxiao, Wu Meiniang walked out of the hall with her gentle steps.
Naturally, a group of eunuchs and palace maids gathered around me.
Wu Meiniang smiled implicitly, and under the service of the palace maids, she walked along the imperial road to the imperial garden.
"I am visiting the flowers and enjoying the palace, so you don't have to follow them all."
With a gentle word, most of the eunuchs and maids were left behind, and only two close-fitting female palaces walked into the garden.
Although it is only early spring, there is a scenery in the garden.
The smile on Wu Meiniang's face gradually restrained.
For months, she has been busy helping Li Zhi handle political affairs every day, and she has been busy with several princes and princes, so she really has no choice but to care about anything else.
"Ami, what are you busy with recently?"
"Empress, since his Majesty sent back to be a bad coach, Su Shuai has been busy investigating the case in Chang'an County."
"Have he been to the Ministry of War?"
"No."
“Never once?”
"No."
Wu Meiniang stopped talking, but the light flashed in her eyes and she fell into deep thought.
She knew Su Dawei's temperament.
She once secretly reminded Su Dawei to go to the Ministry of War more, just to let Su Dawei take advantage of his military achievements and influence to actively expand his roots and take root in the army.
I had almost no help in the court.
But if Su Dawei had influence in the army, his position would be much more stable.
She not only has to consider her position, but also her family and her own children.
Now she is just a big tree and needs to protect many people.
And the position of the queen is not as stable as Mount Tai.
Over the years, open and hidden arrows have been hard to defend against.
The examples of Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao were right in front of us, and Wu Meiniang did not dare to relax for a moment.
There has never been a shortage of women around Your Majesty.
Unfortunately, why doesn’t Ami understand what this palace wants?
After walking a few steps, Wu Meiniang raised her head and her eyes slightly condensed.
She understood.
Su Dawei didn't understand what she meant.
He never went to the Ministry of War once, which shows that he does not want to be involved in the whirlpool of power.
Just want to live a stable life.
"As soon as you enter the court, you can't help yourself, how can you stay out of here?"
