Chapter 1297

The night was silent.

After all, Lizhi still couldn't let her husband see her bad side, and refused to sleep with her. Finally, Qin Lang turned around and entered Yu Xuanji's yard.

"Why did Sanlang come to the concubine's house?"

"Can't you come?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

"The concubine is old and pearly, how can she look like a newcomer."

There is never a shortage of newcomers in Qin Lang's mansion. Although the holy ancestor Li Shimin is seriously ill, he still has to recruit good candidates every year. In Qin Lang's mansion, although there are many wives and concubines, they still have to recruit a few for Qin Lang every year. House a new concubine or buy a few beautiful maidservants.

As for the rewards in the palace, there are even more gifts from friends, those who often don't see Qin Lang's face, have to go through layers of audits in the inner courtyard.

Of the maidservants who can get in touch with Qin Lang at ordinary times, none of them can get close without going through a lot of screening and review, and even after being taught the rules for at least a year. Yuxiao and the others knew very well that with Qin Lang's status and power, he was still so young, especially the king of poetry, calligraphy and swordsmanship.

Even the daughters of famous families would regard Qin Lang as the lover of their dreams in deep boudoirs, and ordinary servants, maidservants, etc. would not easily let go of the opportunity, so they had to establish enough rules before they could arrange it with confidence.

Qin Lang glanced at the table.

Yu Xuanji was painting just now.

After a few glances, it is indeed very good. Not only does Yu Xuanji play the piano well, but his calligraphy and painting are also superb.

"I'm going south soon. I might not come back this time. Have you considered it? If you don't want to go, you can stay."

Yu Xuanji froze for a moment.

"Why did Saburo say that?"

Qin Lang looked at this woman, it seems that more than 20 years have left no trace on her face, even when she was pregnant, she didn't become a little plump, and her belly didn't show much when she was about to give birth. One son and two daughters she gave birth to also weighed more than six catties.

And every time after giving birth, she can quickly restore her figure without losing shape.

This woman is in the mansion. Like Yuxiao, she came out of Pingkangfang. Back then, one was a female school secretary and the other was a female recorder.

But the personalities of the two are quite different.

Yuxiao is gentle and considerate, with a temperament like water, while Yu Xuanji is even colder.

"Actually, when you came to my side on your own initiative, I knew your details. You were a hidden stake sent by the palace to plant beside me. I knew it all."

Yu Xuanji sat down before the case.

Looking at the unfinished landscape painting, "I thought it would be good for Saburo to know it, and he wouldn't expose this matter. It's been so many years, why say it now?"

Yu Xuanji, like Yu Xiao, came from the teaching workshop in the palace, a daughter of an official family, but after an accident at home, she was not included in the teaching workshop and fell into the world of mortals.

Later, she came to Pingkangfang and became a famous female recorder.

This kind of popular red lady is in and out of the family of high-ranking officials, so before Yu Xuanji knew Qin Lang, he was actually a secret informant in the Qin Palace.

"I went to Chang'an from Luoyang in the autumn of the fourth year of Wude. At that time, I was in Luoyang Palace..." Yu Xuanji slowly talked about this dusty past. She was indeed an official. An official from the Southern Chen Dynasty, he was moved to Chang'an after Sui Ping and Chen, and later served as an official in the Sui Dynasty.

But later his father was involved in the struggle for the heir apparent. After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, his father was liquidated and Yu Xuanji was confiscated into the court.

Yu Xuanji was still very young when he entered Yeting Palace. It can be said that he grew up in the Yeting Palace in Luoyang. Although he had a bad fate, he became more and more beautiful the longer he grew up, especially with an excellent musical talent.

In the fourth year of Wude, after the Battle of Hulaoguan, the 100,000 army of Dou Jiande in Hebei was defeated, and Wang Shichong, who had been trapped in Luoyang for a long time, was forced to sacrifice the city and surrender.

Qin Wang Li Shimin entered Luoyang City.

Then Yu Xuanji was recruited by Zhang Liang as a hidden stake, and later sent to Chang'an Jiaofang, and then to Pingkangfang.

"In the ninth year of Wude, after the palace change, I was ordered to come to Saburo's side, but I didn't expect that this stay would last for 21 years."

Yu Xuanji was ordered to monitor Qin Lang, but he didn't expect this task to take so long.

"How does Saburo plan to deal with me?"

"Can you give me a glass of poisoned wine, and then tell the outside world that I died suddenly from an emergency, and can you take care of my three children?"

Qin Lang sat down very calmly.

"The three siblings are also my children."

At that time, Qin Lang had already noticed that there was a problem with Yu Xuanji. After the Xuanwu Gate, he was ordered to set up the Zhenfu Division. It was originally an intelligence and monitoring agency. He found out Yu Xuanji's identity.

It's just that he didn't say anything, because he knew that Li Shimin had placed it here.

"In fact, after all these years, those are not important anymore."

Yu Xuanji was only ordered to monitor him and report to the higher authorities on a regular basis, and did not harm Qin Lang or the Qin family, and all this happened without his knowledge.

"I'm telling you this today, but I don't really mean anything else."

"I know you were always directly contacted by Zhang Liang. After Zhang Liang's death, no one knows your identity. Now the imperial court has abolished the three divisions of Zhenfu, Baiqi, and Dianqian, not to mention Someone will contact you again. Immediately, I will go south to Luzon, and maybe I won’t come back.”

"It's definitely not easy for you to carry this matter all these years. Now I just give you another choice, a truly free choice."

Yu Xuanji was in a daze.

"You can stay, or you can follow me, or you can go where you want to go by yourself. If you want to leave, I will give you a sum of money, ten thousand is enough, enough for you to live in peace and stability for the rest of your life."

Yu Xuanji asked Qin Lang, "Although I followed orders when I approached you, the life of the past twenty years is not fake, let alone we have three children."

Qin Lang suddenly mentioned these things today, but he was just thinking about it.

He remembered watching many espionage film and television works in later generations, in which some people could change their surnames and conceal their names to hide for a lifetime, use another identity to marry and have children, etc. for the sake of missions.

There is even an American drama about two Soviet agents lurking in the United States, pretending to be husband and wife, and driving a travel agency as cover. They lurked, secretly collected information, and then lurked for many years. The two even gave birth to two children. no difference.

But in the play, the normally loving couple and their secret work partners, under the orders of their bosses, are still more organized than lovers and partners.

Although Zhang Liang died, Baiqisi withdrew.

But Qin Lang is still willing to talk about it openly and honestly today.

"Your mission is over, now you are free and you can choose your life."

"I really like my life now, and I'm used to it these years. I have a heroic husband whom everyone admires and admire, and I have three young and smart children. I feel that my life is very happy now."

"Then let's go together."

"Thank you Saburo."

Yu Xuanji's eyes turned red. If it was someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have told her these things, so they would have killed her and reported her sudden death to a mass grave.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll sleep here tonight."

Yu Xuanji hesitated for a moment, although she felt that Qin Lang must have known her identity a long time ago, when she was not exposed, she could always deceive herself wishfully, but now that she has said it all, she still has no way to face Qin Lang for a while. .

"The girl in my house has a good tune. She is a good embryo. She has been with me for three years. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was just twenty-eight. I asked her to accompany Saburo."

Qin Lang shook his head.

"Go to sleep."

Qin Lang picked up Yu Xuanji and slept with her in his arms this night, just sleeping.

Qin Lang was very busy these days, so he slept very deeply this night, but Yu Xuanji lay in Qin Lang's arms, but he didn't sleep all night.

A stack of dim yellow night lights in the house shimmered in orange.

Added a haze to the night.

Luoyang.

New year new life.

However, the atmosphere in the courtroom was not smooth.

Years ago, Su Dingfang attacked Sibi, beheaded the king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici, captured the prince of Baekje, and all Baekje surrendered.

Changsun Wuji thought that when Jiji ruled Baekje, Fu Yulong was the king of Baekje and the governor of the region, and stayed in Luoyang temporarily, and sent envoys to confer the titles of governors, governors, etc. on the noble officials and generals in Baekje, and unified them under the command of Su Dingfang. .

It is necessary to stabilize Baekje as soon as possible, so that Su Dingfang can send his 100,000 troops northward to attack Goguryeo together, destroy Goguryeo early, and end the war.

Fighting is fighting for money, and every day of fighting consumes countless money and food.

Not to mention, the war cannot be dragged on for a long time, otherwise there will be long nights and dreams.

Although the savage chaos in the southwest had already been suppressed under the joint encirclement and suppression of the four generals Zhang Shigui, Liang Jianfang, Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Chumo.

But Changsun Wuji still hopes to end the war in Goguryeo as soon as possible.

But the young emperor used to follow Yuanjiu Shoufu in everything before, but this time he refused to let go, and refused to spit out the meat in his mouth, just to annex Baekje completely.

At this juncture, King Kinderman of Silla happened to die of illness.

The Queen of Silla was originally registered with the support of the Tang Dynasty. She has been in power for 16 years and has been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty. She has even cooperated with the court to contain and harass Goguryeo. When Baekje was destroyed, she also sent troops to help.

The Queen's sudden death also made Datang's Haidong ally less reliable.

The queen never married and had no heirs.

There was no prince established during his lifetime.

Who should succeed?

Silla's own peculiar bones and throne succession system made the situation in Silla's Jinzhou even more unstable.

Before Jin Deman was alive, he always wanted to make Kim Chunchu his successor, but although Jin Chunqiu was the grandson of King Jinzhi, the grandson of King Jinping, and the nephew of Deman, he was only a real bone, not a holy bone. In the Silla system, only holy bones have the right to inherit the throne.

Jin Chunqiu's grandfather, King Jinzhi, reigned for only eight years, but was deposed by the people of the country because of his immorality. He was succeeded by his nephew Kim Baekjeong, who was Deman's father, King Jinpyeong.

Because King Zhenzhi was abolished, the bone products of their family were reduced to genuine products. Although Jin Chunqiu's father married Deman's sister who had a sacred bone, as long as one of the two parents is not a sacred bone, then the bones of the offspring cannot be sacred, and can only be regarded as the lowest.

Jin Chunqiu was eighteen years younger than Deman, and was once Fengyuezhu, the eighteenth generation leader of Hwarang, an elite young warrior organization of Silla aristocrats.

Deman also deliberately sent Jin Chunqiu to the Tang Dynasty to meet the emperor, and Li Shimin bestowed him the title of Special Advancement, Zuo Wuwei General, and later Jin Chunqiu deliberately left his son Jin Wenwang as a hostage.

In fact, Li Shimin had acquiesced to Kinderman Li Chunqiu as the prince of Silla, but this matter was never supported in Silla.

Until Deman died of illness, there was no result of this matter.

The attitude of Changsun Wuji and other prime ministers on this matter still intends to follow Taizong's intention and send envoys to canonize Jin Chunqiu as the king of Silla. After all, Jin Chunqiu is very respectful to Tang Dynasty and has good skills. Jin Chunqiu personally led the troops to assist.

But Li Yin disagreed.

He believes that since most of the nobles in Silla do not support Jin Chunqiu, there is no need for Tang to support Jin Chunqiu, and it is better to canonize Deman's younger sister Jin Shengman as the new king.

Originally, most of the nobles in the Silla Kingdom believed that they would rather Li Shengman than Li Chunqiu.

This matter was debated for several days, and finally Li Yin strongly and resolutely sent an envoy to canonize Jin Shengman as the new king.

The court canonized Jin Shengman as King of Silla and King of Lelang County, and then the emperor issued an edict to add Qin Zhaoyi as Concubine Shu.

One of the sisters of the Qin family was a noble concubine and the other was a concubine Shu.

The young prince Li Xiang actually wept to resign from the throne to the emperor, saying that he was willing to give up the throne to his fourth brother Jin Wang Li Xian, which surprised the government and the public for a while.
