Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Iron Blood, Huairou, Push Back
It was already late at night, and Qin Mubai bid farewell and left.
Dao Sect Li claimed that he was drunk and didn’t wake up, so he told Qin Mubai not to mind anything and asked his daughter, Li Xueyan, to deliver the guests on his behalf.
The butler was leading the way with the lights in front, and the two maids were not far behind. Li Xueyan followed Qin Mubai half a step to the left.
Her face was flushed red, and she didn’t know if she was shy or excited.
The two of them walked out of the hall until they reached the entrance without saying a word. Before leaving, Qin Mubai stopped, turned around and cupped his hands, “Imperial Daughter, please wait a moment. I will take the car back on my own. Goodbye.”
Li Xueyan nodded with her eyes flashing, as if she had many words to say. She pursed her lips and said, “Will the general come again?”
Qin Mubai smiled faintly, “If I have time, I will definitely disturb Your Highness again.”
“Are you just here to see my father?”
“…” Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before smiling. “It’s quite pleasant to talk about making tea with the imperial daughter.”
Li Xueyan smiled and said, “The general is a wise and courageous man with a true temperament. My father drank too much today, so you don’t have to worry about anything he says.”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Your Highness has always been a genius of heaven and earth, and he has always kept it a secret.” Today, after sprinkling, I spat out a bit of cleverness, which gave me a sense of enlightenment. Imperial Daughter, there is no need to worry. Don’t say that Your Highness is only reminding me of the second half. Even if I point at my nose and curse, I will only change in principle. “I admire your highness from the bottom of my heart. I am also a friend and a teacher. I am like a brother and a father.”
“Is that so?” Li Xueyan smiled comfortably. “Father has mentioned you many times. He said that when he saw you, it was as if he had seen him when he was young, so he had a special affinity with you. He also said that you are more talented than him, and you will definitely be able to achieve an extremely high achievement in the future. I have never seen my father praise someone so highly!”
“Your Highness is praising me absurdly.” Qin Mubai chuckled and said, “It’s freezing cold on a cold night. Princess, please come back. I’m Qin, goodbye!”
“Alright, I won’t send you off.”
The wheels of the carriage rolled over the ancient road in Chang’an late at night, and Qin Mubai rode away with the sound of bones.
Li Xueyan stood at the door with her hands crossed. She watched the carriage stand in the darkness of the night. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tiny flames. Occasionally, she would meditate and occasionally move.
“Imperial Daughter, it’s already late. Why don’t you go back and rest?” The maidservant behind him said.
“Oh … don’t make any noise.” Li Xueyan answered casually, unmoved.
At this moment, a few familiar footsteps sounded behind her. They were steady and steady. She turned around and immediately smiled like a flower. “Father, haven’t you rested yet?”
Li Daozong cut his hands and smiled. He looked at Li Xueyan meaningfully and said, “Yan’er, I’ve been gone for so long. Why are you still standing here?”
Li Xueyan’s face instantly turned red, and she squeaked, “That’s not the case. Daughter just …”
“Forget it, there’s no need to say more.” Li Daozong chuckled and patted Li Xueyan on the shoulder to half embrace her. He walked into the room with her and said, “How about it?”
“It’s better to be famous than to meet. He really has something special about him.”
“You like it?”
‘”Father–” Li Xueyan almost jumped up. “How could you tease your daughter like this? I just met you. You told me everything about the disappearance.”
“Haha!” Dao Sect Li laughed heartily, “Then you dare to say that you don’t like it? If I say these three words, I will give up drinking for father for half a year!”
“Don’t say it! If you want me to say it, I won’t!”
“Haha!” Li Daozong laughed even more heartily, “Daughter, this isn’t strange at all.” No woman would not like a man like him. Not to mention his unique qualities, not to mention women, even men would look at him differently. Either jealousy or admiration. In short, he is not the kind of person who is easily ignored and forgotten. ”
“Father’s words have hit the nail on the head.” Li Xueyan nodded and smiled. “Although it’s only the first time I’ve seen him, I’ve heard rumors about him.” The people who heard of his deeds either hated or loved him, or were jealous or admired him. In short, he was a unique person. If there were more than a hundred people sitting in a large room, as long as he was among them, he would definitely be recognized at a glance. There are people who stand out from the crowd, who stand out from the crowd, and who stand out from the crowd. ”
“Every man has a monster in his heart; every woman has a great hero in her heart.” Li Daozong looked up at the moon. He didn’t know if he was telling his daughter or talking to himself. “However, in reality, it’s common for idiots to ride horses while clever women often sleep with humble husbands. The so-called heroic beauties and talented beauties are very difficult to match.”
Li Xueyan blushed and bit her lips, “Why?”
Dao Sect Li couldn’t help but laugh, “Father also wants to know why.”
“Father–” Li Xueyan was unhappy.
“Haha!” Li Daozong laughed loudly, and the loud laughter startled the birds in the tree nest. “So, does my precious Yan’er really like that stinking brat?”
“No, I’m just … curious about him.” Li Xueyan avoided Li Daozong’s aggressive gaze and muttered.
Li Daozong nodded and laughed. He patted her shoulder and said, “Father is very happy to hear you admit it.” Didn’t you always say that you had the will to marry a hero? A non-heroic man doesn’t deserve you? Father, it’s strange. If I were to grow up in the Central Plains, there would be no heroes. Do you insist on marrying that Qizong Nongzan? He was amazing, unifying Tibet at a young age to dominate the plateau and fight against the Great Tang. But after all, he is an enemy of our Great Tang. The plateau is not your home. “Why bother?”
“Father, you’re going too far.” Li Xueyan turned her back and whispered, “As the daughter of the Li family, I should do something for the Great Tang.” I have no idea what Qizong Nongzan looks like or what he looks like. All knowledge of him is based solely on hearsay. Her daughter thought more about how a hero like him should be a good man with a true nature. His daughter was confident that she could influence his hatred to eliminate his savagery and reduce the war between Tibet and the Great Tang. Apart from that, there are really very few thoughts in the hearts of their children. ”
“Father believes.” Dao Sect Li sighed and turned to Li Xueyan, who was holding her weak shoulders with both hands. He said in a deep voice, “My dear daughter, you are so righteous. Even if your father and mother have a million unwillingness, they can only send you to the plateau together with tears in their eyes.” I know that with your wisdom and wisdom and gentleness, when you go to the plateau, you will definitely be able to write a legendary story. In the future, our Li Dao Sect will be mentioned by future generations after a hundred years. Most likely, it will be because of you, your daughter. But now, the matter of bestowing marriage has been put on hold. When the Tibetans heard that His Majesty was going to grant you the right to marry the princess to Tibet, they actually stroked their sleeves and left. This scene is tantamount to slapping my Li Dao Sect in the face in public. Father, this old man has thick skin and rough flesh. “Daughter, how can you stand it?”
Li Xueyan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She smiled and said, “Dad, don’t underestimate your daughter.” I have yet to care about such a trivial matter, otherwise, I would not have left home to marry to the plateau. If he didn’t have such a little heart, how could he create peace between the two countries? … stranded, let it stranded temporarily! I will always be my father’s daughter, the blood of the Li family. Whenever the Imperial Court needed a daughter, the daughter would not marry for a day. Daughter, either marry to Tibet, or … ”
“Or what?” Li Daozong’s eyebrows slightly raised as he stared at her and asked.
“Either …” Li Xueyan hesitated for a moment and said, “Either that man can really do what he praised, calm down Tibet, and completely integrate it into the big fellow race. At that time, I will take the initiative to ask His Majesty the Emperor to send me to Tibet to promote Deschamps on behalf of the Heavens and protect the people on the plateau, whether he is Han or Tibetan. “Let’s make sure that there are fewer killings there and receive civilized education as soon as possible.”
Li Daozong nodded and smiled, “You are a woman, can you still be an official?”
“Don’t you have a father?” Li Xueyan smiled coquettishly and said, “Father is in You Prefecture. He is in charge of the army and the people. Isn’t he getting along well with the tribes of Northern Di and the people? It doesn’t matter if he goes to Tibet. Although his daughter is a woman, she can’t be an official, but she can always do something to help her father.”
“What if I don’t go to Tibet? That place is always cold and snowy, so I don’t want to go.” Dao Sect Li deliberately teased.
Li Xueyan shamefully and angrily stomped her foot and gritted her teeth. “Then my daughter will marry the man who is willing to go to Tibet as an official! Whether he is seventy, eighty, or crooked melon, shoddy jujube, he is married!” She snorted.
“Hahaha!”
Qin Mubai returned home and greeted her mother before washing up and sleeping. Lying on the bed, he recalled his conversation with Li Daozong’s father and daughter and sighed.
In the Great Tang, the “Huairou Policy” was mostly adopted. Emperor Li Shimin often said, “Han and Yi family kisses”, and was very polite to the Yi and Di nationalities. However, the Yidi tribes around the Great Tang did not necessarily think so. All of them watched helplessly as the Central Plains became rich and prosperous, their saliva flowing down their spines. If it weren’t for the power and prestige of the Great Tang, who wouldn’t be able to charge into the Central Plains like a swarm of bees?
Not to mention such a thing as Wu Hu Luanhua, even the history of China after the Great Tang had proved countless times that there was no true friendship and peace between the Central Plains and the frontier barbarians. The only thing that can accomplish the War of Elimination is to completely pacify it, and then use our vast and profound culture and heritage in the Central Plains to fuse and absorb it over the years.
This is a truly inclusive approach that seeks to benefit future generations and mitigate their misfortunes.
Now that the Great Tang was blessed by the four seas and the northern Turks were at peace, Tibet occasionally worshiped them, but they were unable to stir up a huge wave. But what about decades, a hundred years from now? The Great Tang ruled the country with Confucianism, and the fate of the country was largely determined by the emperor’s enlightenment. This was a cycle of death ruled by man. Who could guarantee that a wise or unconscious monarch would appear in the Great Tang a hundred years from now? Who could guarantee that the Tibetan, Turkic, Mohe, and Khitan tribes would not rise up forcefully and sweep across the Central Plains at that time?
Wasn’t the Song Dynasty in history bullied by Bei Di in the end and eventually died at the hands of Bei Meng?
“Completely calm down, inclusive!” In Qin Mubai’s heart, there were only these eight words left!
Retracting his thoughts, Qin Mubai naturally thought of Li Xueyan, the daughter of the Li Dao Sect, who had married Tibet’s Zanpu Forsaken Sect to praise him. He would be Songzan Ganbu in the future.
Li Xueyan is Princess Wencheng …
Later generations, until the 21st century, praised the brown marriage.
Qin Mubai, on the other hand, felt that letting the Great Tang of Zhenguan marry a woman to Tibet was a shameful insult.
At best, as long as Princess Wencheng was alive, Tibet would be at war with the Great Tang; So what if she dies? He once remembered that during the period of Tang Xuanzong, Tibet had invaded the two capital cities of the Great Tang. Tang Xuanzong had fled to Sichuan in a panic, and even his capital had fallen into the hands of Tibetans. He had even been erected as a puppet emperor.
At that time, did Princess Wencheng’s bones ever freeze?
How would she feel when she saw her children and grandchildren invade her homeland?
Marriage?
Bullshit!
Lend me three thousand samurai to flatten the Tibetan Plateau! ! ! …
Even in his dreams, there was a golden godhorse, and his blood was boiling.
When she woke up, her entire body felt a little uncomfortable. She was probably sleeping unsteadily. Therefore, Qin Mubai did not practice martial arts this morning. She lazily wandered around the front hall for a while. She only accompanied her mother, little sister, and Yao’er to breakfast, but she was idle and prepared to go to the Qin Immortal Pavilion to listen to music.
Just as he was about to leave, a rare guest called on him-Li Chunfeng.
Qin Mubai recalled that the day before yesterday, she had asked him to tell her fortune and invited him to buy tea at home. Qin Mubai smiled and asked, “Did Taishi Li give you any advice when he visited today?”
“I don’t dare.” Li Chunfeng smiled and took out a piece of paper with Qin Mubai’s birth date written on it. “After I return from my humble position, I’ll take some time to carefully arrange the birth date for the general. But it’s very strange.”
“What’s so strange?”
“General, please retreat left and right.”
Qin Mubai reprimanded him and asked, “May I ask Taishi Li for advice? What’s so strange about my fate?”
“What’s strange is that the general’s destiny doesn’t correspond to his real life resume.” Li Chunfeng said.
“Mm, why is this happening?” Qin Mubai wasn’t nervous at all. Instead, he said with a relaxed smile. He believed these things as well as he believed them; If you don’t believe me, I used to treat it as a conversation after a meal, so I can only laugh at it.
Li Chunfeng smiled and stroked his beard, “Fortune-telling is not a strong point. If Senior Brother Yuan is here, I’m afraid he can tell the truth. In other words, the general doesn’t have to pay too much attention to this lowly position. If it’s inappropriate, how about listening to the story?”
“That’s good. Please tell me, Taishi.”
Li Chunfeng nodded his head and said, “Let’s not talk about a lowly position that is too mysterious.” In short, judging from the birth date of the general, there were only four out of twenty now. The general should be in a state of desolation and desolation. Although he had talent, he could not extend it. Moreover, his parents, siblings, and siblings had their own calamities. It was an extremely bitter and sad life. But now, General, the heroic youth is full of spirit, his family is prosperous, his relatives are intact, none of them have come true. ”
“Haha, this is indeed interesting.” Qin Mubai only smiled.
“This lowly position is also very interesting. Although this lowly position is not the most proficient one, it is rare for it to be so irrelevant.” Li Chunfeng smiled and said, “Furthermore, I believe that even if Senior Brother Yuan were to use the General’s eight-character calculation, it would still be the same result. Therefore, I was surprised, but I was very curious and did something strange that I had never done before.”
“What strange thing?” Qin Mubai asked curiously.
Li Chunfeng smiled faintly and said, “This lowly position is also about having fun and having fun. The eight characters of the general’s birth date are rearranged according to the reincarnation of the armor. It is estimated to be the same as the eight characters of the general’s life after 1380, and it is the same as the fate of the general.”
“What?!”
Hearing this, Qin Mubai was shocked!
About 1380 years later, isn’t it the beginning of the 21st century? Could it be that he predicted the day when I crossed over?
“Yes.” Li Chunfeng smiled and said, “But even so, it doesn’t quite match. After 23 A reincarnations, the life of the general is no different from reality, but that life is rich and noble, but it can’t live long. He will die at the age of 19. I curiously arranged the eight characters of the general and discovered something strange. That is, the general should have two life spans.”
“Ah?” Qin Mubai was a little dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Who can have two eight characters per person? Could it be that they are revived from the dead?”
“That’s right. It’s just resurrection from the dead.” Li Chunfeng was resolute. He didn’t seem to be joking at all. “The reason why this lowly position wanted to beg for retreat was to ask the general if he had … encountered a great calamity in the winter of about five years ago, facing the calamity of bloody light?” At that time, the general was in great trouble and did not die. If the date of the general’s birth was arranged to that day, but the great wealth, the great noble position, and the extremely romantic life of the fate of luck. Wouldn’t the general have to tell this lowly position if there was anything wrong, as long as the general himself knew about it in his heart. “If my calculations are correct, the day that the general survives a great calamity will be the winter of the Ten Years of Zhenguan and the eighteenth day of the winter.”
Qin Mubai almost sweated profusely.
Li Chunfeng, this big divine rod, is really amazing! He actually figured out the day when I “crossed over” and borrowed the corpse to return to my soul! At that time, wasn’t it because I was just about to enjoy a beautiful MM and burp my fart for no reason before transmigrating to the Great Tang Empire and possessing Qin Sanlang?
Resurrected from the dead and changed his fate?
Mystery of mysteries!
“Hehe, general, don’t worry. You should just laugh.” After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he quickly cupped his hands and smiled, “Heaven’s Secrets must not be revealed. This lowly position has said too much. However, don’t worry, General, today’s words entered your ears. This lowly position is something that you can defend.”
“Oh, hehe!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Tai Shi Li’s words are indeed quite interesting. However, how could I have been born more than 1,300 years later? Maybe something is wrong with my calculations!-Don’t worry about it. I’ve always been curious about something and want to ask Tai Shi to verify it in person.”
“General, please speak.”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I heard earlier that one day, the Grand Historian Yanxiang Heavenly Palace calculated his fate and pushed out everything that happened a thousand to two thousand years later. Is there anything wrong with that?” At that time, the Grand Historian’s investment was a whim. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang bumped into him, so he pushed your back and reminded you, “Heavenly Secrets must not be leaked.” Only then did you stop. The tweets and lines you left behind are also called “push-back diagrams”. What I want to know is, is there something going on? ”
Li Chunfeng’s expression instantly changed, and he almost got up and jumped away.
“What’s wrong with Taishi? Isn’t I too rude?”
“This” Li Chunfeng, such a calm person with an immortal bone aura, was surprised. He pointed at Qin Mubai in shock and said, “How did General Qin know about such a top secret matter?”
Qin Mubai blinked her eyes. “Is it top secret? I seem to be hearing rumors.”
“Ah!!!” Li Chunfeng was shocked, “I thought only Senior Brother Yuan and I knew about this matter. Why did you hear about it? Could it be that Senior Brother Yuan spread the news?”
“Then I don’t know.” Qin Mubai suppressed the snicker and said seriously.
Li Chunfeng finally calmed down and took a sip of tea. He shook his head and sighed, “The general has great abilities, so I won’t ask any more questions. Since the general already knows, I’m willing to beg the general, so what if I don’t vent anything else?”
“Naturally.” Qin Mubai nodded in agreement.
This was a feudal era. If the Sovereign King knew that someone had calculated the fate of the country after a hundred or a thousand years … this piece of skin would be ridiculous!
“Actually, the reason why this lowly position took the initiative to find a general is more or less related to this Back Pushing Diagram.” Li Chunfeng suddenly changed the topic and said.
Qin Mubai blinked curiously, “What do you say?”
“Simply put, the amount of luck that this lowly one had calculated had suddenly changed today, causing all future calculations to go wrong. It’s not accurate anymore.” Li Chunfeng said.
“Oh? This is too interesting!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Heavenly Luck Count is something that can be changed again and again?”
“Yes, but there is only one way.” Li Chunfeng said seriously.
“What method?”
“Natural foreign body.” Li Chunfeng said, “Just like praying for good fortune and averting calamity, it is not impossible to change a person’s lifespan.” As long as he could pray for his life, it would be possible. However, Heavenly Fate was something that could not be accomplished by human beings. Unless … the heavens purposely changed it and gave it the heavenly luck to change reality. “These are the legendary Phoenix Cry Mountain and Qilin Descending from the Ancient Era.”
Qin Mubai nodded and smiled. “Have you heard of the Yellow Dragon or the Phoenix Nirvana in recent years?”
Li Chunfeng narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Mubai. He shook his head and said word by word, “Even if someone offered some auspicious fortune, it would most likely be false. However, I dared to rearrange the destiny of the Great Tang. I discovered that the heavens bestowed auspicious fortune near the Zhaoling Mausoleum in the northwest of Chang’an on the eighteenth day of the tenth winter of the tenth year of Zhenguan.”
“Pu!”
Qin Mubai spat out a mouthful of tea!
Isn’t that the time and place I, someone Qin, came through?
Holy shit, I, someone Qin … am blessed with auspicious luck?
Li Chunfeng, this big divine rod, has two brushes!
“What a coincidence, General.” Li Chunfeng chuckled and said, “That is the day when this lowly position arranged for the general to survive the calamity. This lowly position inquired again. Five years ago, the general indeed served in Zhaoling Mausoleum. In this way … this lowly position really does not dare to be laid down any further. Leaking out the secrets of heaven is not a crime!”
“Hahaha!” Qin Mubai laughed out loud to conceal her surprise. “I didn’t expect that fortune telling would be so fun. Taishi Li, I can be considered to have experienced it. From what Taishi said just now, in other words, the fate of the Great Tang Empire and even the development trend after a thousand years have all changed because of me, right?”
“Yes.” Li Chunfeng stared at Qin Mubai with a smile that was not a smile, “So, after calculating the date of the general’s birth last night, I burned that push-back diagram.” Since it was already waste paper, what was the use of keeping it? In the future, this lowly position would no longer do such a thing as estimating the luck of the country. One is that criminals bully the monarch, and the other is that they reveal the secrets of Today, if the general hadn’t taken the initiative to mention Pushing Back Diagram, this lowly position wouldn’t have mentioned this matter. From now on, you and I don’t need to mention this matter. Today’s conversation is also right to listen to gossip after tea. How about it? ”
“Alright.” Qin Mubai answered straightforwardly, and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief …
