The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

During the mid-autumn festival in August, the prince sent festive gifts to Sun Ruchu, Duke of Ming, Li Zhiyi, Marquis of Zhao, Dugu Chen, Marquis of Xian, and his grandfather, Duke of Xiangguo, Yao Xie, respectively.In addition, in addition to being increasingly active in the court, the prince's amateur organization of various fun and exchange activities is also increasing. From time to time, invitations are sent to Cheng Guogong Yu Wengao, Yihou Weiguan and Xianhou Duguxian.

As for Yinghou Xu Shixiao and Weihou Durong, they are currently stationed at the border and cannot hook up for the time being.

Dugu never went to the banquet called by the prince.He was in such a bad mood that he didn't even bother to perfunctory.Anyway, someone has to come out and sing a bad face.Among the younger generation, he is the one with the most ability, the highest expectations, the most temperamental, and he unknowingly takes on this important task.The other big bosses, including his father Dugu Chen, all acquiesced.There is another deep reason here, Xianhou is the only son and has no brothers at all.No matter how much the new emperor thinks he is not pleasing to the eye in the future, he will have to vomit blood and endure until the next generation of Dugu family heir grows up.

On the surface, Marquis Xian was still busy training troops in the northern suburbs, but in fact he returned to Beijing more and more secretly.He took the emperor's order to help Yihou, but he didn't show up himself, he only paid close attention to any progress of Wei Guan's search for the sixth prince.

The two backbones of the Five Marquis Guards in the capital had behaved so abnormally for half a year, no matter how carefully they kept it secret, it would inevitably attract the attention of interested people.

Among them, the most caring one is of course the crown prince Song Yu.

The Xianxi Dynasty was strong in national power and well-stocked, so it was impossible to treat the prince and princess badly.Every direct descendant of the royal family, in addition to the salary and benefits provided by the inner government according to their rank, will also receive a feudal title when they become adults.The fief tax is handed in at a fixed ratio, which belongs to the small public treasury of the royal children, but they are only the honorary chiefs in name of the fief, and have no right to interfere with administrative practices.

Therefore, how much benefits a prince and princess can get from his fiefdom has become a very technical task.

First of all, if you are favored and loved by the emperor, you may be granted a rich area as a fief.Secondly, if you can build a good relationship with the feudal officials, you can achieve a win-win situation.On the contrary, if the relationship is not good, it may become mutual hatred.When the prince was just an adult, he had a very good relationship with the emperor, so the feudal city took advantage of the land.As for the relationship with local officials, even if he has been cautious for many years, it is definitely not bad.After accumulating for so long, the personal wealth is quite considerable.Although there is no soldier in hand, it is not a problem at all to secretly raise some counselors to clean up the guests and carry out some assassinations and plots.

The third prince was dead, and the rest were not enough to cause trouble, and the emperor was too sick, so the prince shifted all his focus to win over the three princes and five princes.He knew very well in his heart that the four veteran ministers who were still alive, including his grandfather, had a much deeper affection for the emperor than for the crown prince.They are also much more attached to traditions and rules.Xiangguo Gong Yao Xie will not support the prince overwhelmingly because of his closer blood relationship.The reason is very simple. The Yao family's status, honor, and responsibility are all there, and it has little to do with who ascends the throne in the end.On the contrary, if the successor to the throne did not do well, the eight great families would be criticized.

This principle is like that after the prince himself became the emperor, he might not treat his ancestors differently because of his blood relationship.

On the contrary, the younger generation tends to have different ideas, and it is also the most important thing to rely on after taking over the imperial power in the future.Due to various reasons, the prince clearly puts the most important thing on enhancing the relationship with Xianhou and Yihou.

The Double Ninth Festival was approaching, and there was nothing wrong with the army. Dugu Mian returned to Beijing from the northern suburbs ahead of schedule, and arrived at home in the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar new year.Before the buttocks were hot, the servant reported the visitor to the prince's mansion, and had to meet him.It turned out that the prince sent someone to give the Double Ninth Festival gift to the old Hou Ye, and also presented an invitation card, inviting Xianhou to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink under the lamp tonight.

The visitor was eloquent and eager to persuade, Dugu Mian finally found an excuse to postpone the evening event, but had to keep the gift.

At dusk, Song Wei wore a straight, open-breasted embroidered half-length gown, with a headscarf tied twice around her head and hung down from both sides, with loose long hair and beards, a typical Persian ronin outfit.Before going out, I found a porcelain bottle and filled it with boiling water, wrapped the ends of the hair a few times and then loosened it, creating big waist-length waves. It was so coquettish and coquettish.

Go to the front yard and borrow paper and pen from a scribe.Seeing his image, the scribe was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Brother Xue, is this...?"

Song Wei said: "Go after the girl."

The scribe immediately understood: "I don't know which girl has the favor of Brother Xue." Jokingly, he found two pieces of flower paper with dark patterns, and gave him a brocade envelope.

Song Wei thought for a long time, and wrote something to Song Manji.After thinking about it, nothing is enough to write, and everything is superfluous.He just wanted to reassure his mother, and then happily spend his birthday with Boss Mai.If you really write something, it will fall into the hands of the emperor, and you will cause trouble for your mother for nothing.

When he came out of the Xianhou Mansion clean and naked, he left nothing on him that could be used as a token.How can I make my mother believe that it is me and understand what I mean without revealing it?

Song Wei licked the tip of the pen, and drew a pattern on the flower paper.

When Song Manji got married, Song Wei used the 2000 million won by Dugu Mian from Xiaoyaofang to buy two sets of gold and emerald inlaid jewelry for her mother.Unsatisfied with the style of the head, he pointed fingers at the jewelry store and asked them to make many changes.There are a few of them, which are unique and exquisite, and Song Manji likes them very much.

Song Wei drew one of her mother's favorites, a hairpin with phoenix wings and auspicious clouds pattern.The lines of the jewelry are not complicated, and the amateur painting level is sufficient.Cut off a small lock of hair from the sideburns, and stuffed it into the envelope together with the flower notes.

The grace of 20 years of nurturing cannot be repaid.The child wants to go far away from now on, but only hopes that the mother will be safe and happy, and stop worrying about the unworthy son.

It was just getting dark, and it was time for customers to be served in restaurants, restaurants, and brothels.The location of Maiji Persian Restaurant in Fanfang, the capital city, is better than that in Xidu. It is opened at the intersection of the most prosperous and bustling main street in Fanfang.It has been opened for less than a month, and the freshness of the people in the capital has not passed. Every day, customers come like clouds, overcrowded, and business is very good.

It was at this time that Song Wei came to the Persian restaurant on horseback.There are several guys at the door, not to solicit business, but to maintain order and guide guests' vehicles.As soon as Song Wei reined in his horse, a waiter greeted him: "How many guests are there? Do you have an appointment? Can you give the honorable horse to the villain..."

Song Wei didn't get off the horse, but moved to the side, handed a few copper coins to the clerk, took out a letter from her pocket, and handed it over: "My master sent a few words to the proprietress of the Guisi, please pass it on. You pass it, and Madam Mai will naturally know who is it."

After Mai Asa had a stroke, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and Song Manji was the only one who came out to greet him in the wine shop.The guy looked at Song Wei's appearance, thought that some Hu merchant in Fanfang asked the proprietress to discuss business, and it was not impossible to see the proprietress secretly sending a love letter, so he smiled and agreed, turned around and trotted in.

Song Wei immediately rode his horse back and stopped under the eaves of the shop across the street.

On the surface, he rode his horse steadily and waited, but in fact his heart was turbulent and anxious.I don't know how long it took, just when he suspected that the letter had never been delivered to his mother, several guests came out of the gate, and the proprietress and the shopkeeper personally sent them out, obviously they were distinguished guests.

The distinguished guests got in the car and left, but the proprietress didn't go in immediately.

Song Manji stood on the steps in front of the door, smiling all over her face, looking forward with beautiful eyes, as if she was proud of the prosperous business of the restaurant, and also as if she warmly greeted every guest who came to the door.Her eyes gradually moved away, searching around without a trace, and finally turned to the dark and secluded place opposite, and met the extremely familiar pair of eyes that had accompanied her for 20 years and often appeared in her sleep.

Song Wei grinned at his mother.My hair and beard fluttered in the night wind, thinking to myself, I don’t know if my mother thinks my new look is handsome or not.

Song Manji lowered her head to cover up the moment before tears welled up in her eyes.When she immediately raised her head again, there was only a distant figure of the person opposite.She saw her son riding on the horse, letting the wind blow the belt of his turban, but his back was stretched straight, just like a real man, walking his own way firmly.

Song Manji turned around with a smile and entered the door, handed over the business in the lobby to the steward, hid in a place where no one was around, covered her face and cried bitterly.

Song Wei felt uncomfortable, she didn't want to go back so early, and the curfew was still some time away, so she just let her wander aimlessly.When he came back to his senses, he realized that the horse had walked to the foot of the southern city wall by itself, an open space where he had nothing to do when he lived in the slums.At this moment, there was no one except mosquitoes and pikas, and it was suitable for him to be alone in a daze.

Because starting from tomorrow, Yao Zigong went out to have fun for a few days in a row, and Yao Zigong went back to Yao Mansion to appease his family very obediently.Xue Yan sent fourth master back to the mansion, and then walked to his own residence.Suddenly my heart moved, I thought I might as well ask Song Wei to talk about tomorrow's shooting match.He asked his entourage to go back first, turned around and rode his horse, and came straight to the other courtyard in the east of the city.

I didn't see anyone in the backyard, and I asked around, but I didn't know where his brother was.When I asked in the front yard, I heard someone said that I wrote a love letter, changed my clothes, and went after the girl specially.

Xue Sanlang suddenly felt struck by lightning.Fortunately, his mind was not confused to the end, and he quickly woke up and figured it out.What kind of girl is chasing, and it is almost the same to remove the word aunt.

Inexplicable anxiety and worry came to my heart, and I hurried to the Persian wine shop.When he got there, he rushed straight in, threw a gold ingot to the clerk, and asked for a private room.As soon as he sat down in the private room, another ingot of gold came and asked to meet the proprietress.

The buddy said, our boss's wife is really prosperous!As the word spread, Song Manji had just wiped away her tears and reapplied makeup. She was extremely depressed and had no way of dispelling it. She was about to find someone to vent her anger on.Hearing what the guy said, he came over with a murderous look in his skirt.

When I entered the door, I never expected that it would be Xue Sanlang, an unexpected acquaintance.

Before Su Weijun found Xidu, Song Manji always thought that her son went to southern Xinjiang with the Mu family caravan.Later, I learned from the emperor and Yihou that he was tricked by Xianhou on the way to Beijing.Because Dugu Mian had no chance or courage to confess in person, and of course no one else would confess, so she always believed that Song Wei tricked herself into going to Beijing in the first place because of Xue Sanlang.

In Song Manji's view, the instigator of all these things was due to this bastard surnamed Xue.

At this time, when I was sad and unbearable, I saw Xue Xuan at a glance. As the saying goes, when enemies meet each other, anger rises from the bottom of my heart, and evil grows from the guts. If there is a way to heaven, you don’t go, and there is no way to hell. Song Manji yelled: "Xue Sanlang! What are you doing here?!"

"I, I..." Xue Yan was unprepared, and subconsciously regarded the other party as an elder, and was immediately intimidated by Song Manji's aura.Seeing the guy behind him retreat and close the door, he whispered, "I'm here to find Miaozhi."

Song Wei ran away from the emperor. Song Manji had no idea that her son was messing around with the bastard surnamed Xue in front of her. She immediately misunderstood that Xue Xuan knew that she had gone to Beijing to open a shop, and she was determined to go to the door to pester her.

Immediately, the resentment and anger automatically found an outlet, picked up the high-quality celadon wine vessel that was as clean as jade on the table, and smashed it at it without thinking.

"You shameless apprentice, you still have the guts to come here! If you don't beat me up today, I'll take your surname!..."

In fact, Song Wei warned Xue San, but he didn't take it seriously.Caught off guard, unable to resist, throwing away his helmet and armor, he rolled and crawled out of the private room, while parrying in embarrassment, he hurriedly retreated downstairs. He was not sure whether Song Wei had been there before, so he might as well go back and have a look.

The lady proprietress came out to perform martial arts in person, and the guests of the restaurant crowded over to watch the excitement. They all thought that Song Manji had been molested, and became angry from embarrassment.There were also those who booed for a while, some who yelled, some who took advantage of the cold to add insult to injury, and some who took the opportunity to help and show courtesy, it was quite a chaotic scene.

Wei Guan has always placed people in the Persian wine shop to monitor. The mother and son met each other earlier, it was too secretive to be noticed.It was so noisy at this time, it was impossible not to pay attention.Xue Xuan was considered a celebrity even in the capital, but it happened that one of the watchers recognized him and knew that he was Yao Siye's side attendant.

This person was quite alert, recognized Xue Sanlang's identity, and immediately reported it to Yihou.When Wei Guan heard that Yao's mansion was involved, he went around the house twice and came to Xianhou's mansion to meet with Dugu.

The subordinates did not invite Xianhou, the prince did not give up, and as night fell, he came to invite him in person.From a distance, I saw several people riding horses to the gate of Xianhou Mansion, walking under the light.The bodyguard had good eyesight and whispered: "Your Highness, the one in the middle looks... like Master Yihou."
