Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 150

That night, Bodhidharma held a grand banquet in the palace to pick up the dust for Li Yaoying and his entourage. By the way, he received envoys from other states and discussed the canonization with the envoys of Wei.

Yaoying didn’t even change her clothes, and said, “Now that the war is tight, the food is exhausted, and the military expenditure is insufficient, you don’t need to pay attention to these. The angels are my old acquaintances. They are not stiff, don’t need to be extravagant…”

With that, she looked at Zheng Jing and others.

Several people glanced at each other, hurriedly smiled and clasped their fists: “It is precisely this reason that we have been ordered to work together with the Western Army’s righteous men to break the Northern Rong and regain lost ground. These red tapes and energy saving will be dispensed with.”

Bodhidharma was stunned, his eyes flashed with appreciation, and he gave a deep salute to Yaoying: “The princess said it is very true, I will tell people to withdraw from the banquet. I often hear that Changan is good for drinking tea, and I admire Changan’s elegance. It’s best to be arty. Please angels also taste our tea.”

The waiter stepped forward and led Zheng Jing and others to the side hall to drink tea.

Yaoying deliberately fell behind a few steps, Bodhidharma took the opportunity to report several important things to Yaoying: “The envoys sent to Yanqi, Beiting, Khotan, and Qiuci have returned one after another. The prefectures are suffering from wars and they all look forward to an early date. Recovered, but the current situation is still unclear. They are looking for excuses to evade the dispatch of troops and are unwilling to send their children to Chang’an to offer gifts.”

At this time, sending the direct descendants to Chang’an was equivalent to completely subordinating to the Wei Dynasty. The Central Plains and the Western Regions had been in war for a long time. The prefectures were worried that the Wei Dynasty would not be able to protect them and were afraid of being retaliated by the Bei Rong. They were still waiting and watching.

Yaoying was not surprised by the vacillations of other states. The states were weak and survived between powerful forces. Chaoqin Muchu was their way of survival.

“When we regain Yizhou and connect with Helong, all states will naturally be attached.”

Bodhidharma nodded approvingly, and took out the paperwork Zheng Jing and the others had brought.

Li De officially canonized Yaoying as the governor of the Western Army, and other generals of the Western Army were promoted. Gaochang will restore the old system and use the name of Xizhou. Bodhidharma will no longer be the lord of the country, but the protector of Xizhou.

Yaoying raised her eyes, “Da Lang is generous.”

Bodhidharma smiled and said with emotion: “Gao Yi can’t be called. I used to be muddled for many years, and I couldn’t even keep my wife…just a puppet. I always remember my father’s last wish before his death. When you get to the ground, you won’t be shameless when you see them…”

Seeing his melancholy expression, Yaoying turned away from the subject and asked about armaments.

After the two discussed for a while, Bodhidharma remembered something, called a few young generals, and smiled: “These are the Erlang who prepared the rebel army with Shiro, Saburo from the Zhang family, Qilang from the Yuan family, and ten from the Zhao family. Ichiro, Jiro of the Song family…”

The generals had embroidered robes in brocade, stiff and handsome, and they knew at a glance that they were the children of a family who had grown up among the brocades. They came forward to meet Yaoying one by one.

Yaoying said secretly in her heart. These generals were obviously young people she met outside the city. At that time, they had just been fighting bloody, and their manners were rather restrained. Now when they returned to the city, they all changed their clothes and were calm in their gestures. Many, but some tension can still be seen.

Bodhidharma said: “Shiro was busy with military affairs and couldn’t serve the princess. Zhang San and the others will follow the princess, but they will be sent by the princess.”

Yaoying calmly smiled.

Bodhidharma went to the side hall to accompany Zheng Jing and the others to have tea, and asked Yaoying to talk to Zhang San and Yuan Qi. Before leaving, he winked at Zhang San and the others.

Zhang San and others coughed a few times, and their expressions became more and more uncomfortable.

Yaoying had a panoramic view of their eye contact, and asked Zhang San and the others to help her get something from Yang Qian.

Several people fisted and grabbed their sleeves, responded in unison, turned and ran away, for fear of being preempted by others.

Yaoying frowned, and laughter came from behind.

Li Zhongqian slapped the petals on his body and head while climbing up the steps: “Mingyue Slave, don’t you see the meaning of Bodhidharma?”

Yaoying sighed, “Are these people all?”

Li Zhongqian shook his head: “More than that, these are the most outstanding ones selected by him and Yang Qian from all the children of the right age family. If you don’t look down on any of them, they will soon be able to change a group of people.”

Yaoying couldn’t laugh or cry.

No wonder these young people would unconsciously puff up their chests when they saw her, and secretly compete with those around them. Aristocratic families want to marry, they are the candidates for husband and wife. Judging from their surnames, none of the local rich and powerful families have participated in this competition.

“Is there anyone pleasing to the eye?” Li Zhongqian asked.

Yaoying breathed a sigh of relief, “Brother, don’t ask, there is no one at all.”

Li Zhongqian frowned.

“They are both civil and military, with good character, noble background, good looks, and the same age as you, so you don’t have to rush to decide.”

“No need. Procrastination. It will be no good for the rich family to conflict for this. I will not pick one of them.”

Li Zhongqian’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes signaled his soldiers to retreat.

“Why don’t you pick one? Mingyue Slave, are you already interested in someone?”

He asked, his voice stern.

Yaoying stopped and stood in front of the steps, looking back to the west, the mountains in the sky were undulating, and the distant king’s court could not be seen.

She went out for a while and looked up at Li Zhongqian, “Brother, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, why are you in a hurry to let me marry?”

“If you marry earlier, I will feel more at ease.”

Yaoying frowned slightly.

He had mentioned this before, but now it is not what it used to be. She does not need to rely on marriage to gain a foothold. Why does Li Zhongqian force her to marry?

Yaoying’s eyes rolled and she deliberately lowered her face, “Isn’t it your sister no longer when I am married? You don’t care about me anymore? You don’t want to care about me in the future, so you are anxious to find me a home?”

Li Zhongqian angrily said: “What are you thinking about? Whether you marry or marry someone is my Li Zhongqian’s younger sister. Brother will never leave you alone.”

Yaoying met his gaze: “Then why are you urging me to marry?”

Li Zhongqian’s expression eased a little, and he raised his hand and rubbed her hair: “It’s always going to be a marriage. It’s better to choose a good one now.”

Yaoying’s eyes flickered, and she grabbed his hand, “Brother, what are you going to do? Are you hiding something from me?”

Li Zhongqian looked away.

“Brother, what did you hide from me?”

“nothing.”

Li Zhongqian said indifferently, raising his foot and walking away.

“Li Zhongqian!”

An angry flashed across Yaoying’s face, she called his full name for the first time, followed him, and grabbed his arm: “Don’t hide from me…Are you planning to die with Li De?”

Li Zhongqian closed his eyes.

“He won’t die for a day, and we can’t be peaceful for a day. When this happens, I will go back and kill him.”

He was reluctant to leave Yaoying alone in the world. She married early, had a husband, and had children, and then there would be concerns. Then, even if he died in Chang’an, she would be accompanied by other relatives.

Yaoying’s eyes are slightly red, “Brother, this matter can be discussed in the long term…Compared with revenge, I hope you will live well.”

“Do you think that if I marry someone, it’s just a married woman. It’s nothing to do with you? If you take revenge, I can stay out of the matter? Brother, you are wrong. I will always be your sister. If something happens to you, I don’t care. I will find you everywhere.”

Her voice was soft, hoarse, and firm.

Li Zhongqian stared down at her, motionless, his heart warm and sour, after a long while, he sighed and hugged her.

What a silly girl.

Yaoying took his arm and slowly said: “Brother, don’t worry about my marriage in the future. Once in Central Plains, I knew Li De’s plan and thought about marrying, but then I lived in Wang’s court and experienced a lot of things. , Now I can finally reunite with Brother Brother… Brother and I will tell you the truth, unless it’s someone I like, I won’t consider marrying someone.”

“Brother, I was your teacher. You know my temperament. I don’t like to be restrained. I don’t like to be in the backyard all day. The books I read are deviant… The rich family has many rules, and I am impatient to pay attention to those things. I will not compromise for the sake of marrying.”

“Before, I couldn’t make my own marriage. Now I can make the decision by myself. Why do I still want to marry me for the sake of marrying?”

“What can I do if I don’t marry forever?”

Li Zhongqian heard this, knowing that she had made up her mind, and stopped: “I really don’t plan to pick a consort?”

Yaoying smiled, her brows relaxed: “If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”

“Do you like it?”

“Then I will like him well.”

Li Zhongqian was in a daze for a moment, “Okay, brother, don’t force you to pick a consort.”

Yaoying looked into his eyes: “Brother, promise me, don’t do stupid things alone, talk to me about anything, we all have to live well.”

Li Zhongqian patted the top of her hair.

“Okay, Brother promised you.”

Yaoying breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the side hall, where the tea was fragrant. Zheng Jing and several others were holding tea with butter and salt, and they drank and chatted with Dharma.

When she walked in, Zheng Jing stood up immediately, held out the edict, read it out, and was polite, she asked about the dispatch of troops.

Zheng Jing said: “The court wants to guard against Nanchu, and it is temporarily unable to draw out too much force. Now only the Liangzhou army of the prince can mobilize at any time, but the princess can rest assured that the court will do its best to raise grain and supplies so that the Western army has no worries.”

Speaking of marriage, Li De has already selected a few clan daughters, canonized them as princesses, married offspring of the family who will soon be attached to, and begged the daughter of Bodhidharma for the son of the prime minister.

Li Zhongqian sneered, Li De intends to use marriage to win over the rich.

Yaoying had expected Li De to do this a long time ago, and did not say anything. Although marriage is useful, marriage is not omnipotent.

After discussing the business, Zheng Jing and the others quit.

Yaoying discussed matters with Bodhidharma and Yang Qian who hurried over. In a short while, he called the soldiers, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, wrote several letters, picked up the seal sent by the court, stamped it, signed the monogram, and issued a series of edicts.

“In the name of the Western Army, I went to various places to preach the court’s will, and comforted all the people who sent food and money to the Western Army.”

“The Western Army came forward to distribute food and medicine to the tribe that had just experienced the war.”

“Making up a roster and registering a Dingkou. Those who were falsely imprisoned by the Bei Rong people, and were acquitted after the facts were found out. Those who escaped from other places will bear the blame.”

“Many believers in the Western Regions find highly respected monks, elders, and priests, and ask them to come forward to appease the monks-whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism, or Manichaeism, they all do this.”

“Officials from all over the country, whether they are Hu or Han people, who used to obey Bei Rong or obey the guard, as long as they have prestige in the local area, do practical things for the people, and have a good reputation, they can retain their official posts at their discretion.”

“Send envoys to the people and let the people from all over the world play. For those officials who dominate the people, enslave the people, and commit crimes, once they are found out, they will be dealt with in accordance with the law.”

…

Orders to go down one by one, and the soldiers held the edict and plunged into the twilight.

Yaoying was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

If a battle is to be fought, the people must also be comforted. Only by letting the people feel the tangible benefits and blessings, can they support the Western Army from the bottom of their hearts.

In the next few days, Yaoying got busy day by day.

With the implementation of the edict, the reputation of her and the Western Army among the people has increased.

Bodhidharma realized that she didn’t like the few lieutenants, and she quickly changed a group of young princes.

Every day, someone changed their tricks to show their affection to Yaoying, she euphemistically told Bodhidharma that she had no intention of marrying now.

Bodhidharma took a different approach: “Does the Duke Wei Guo intend to marry a wife?”

With that, he reported the names of more than a dozen little ladies in one breath.

Yaoying raised her eyebrows and refused for Li Zhongqian. His heart disease was marriage and would not marry a wife for this reason.

During this period, war reports continued to be sent back, and the wars in Shazhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou went smoothly. When the river is calmed down, the Western Army will be able to concentrate its forces to recover Yizhou.

At the same time, Yaoying and the others also paid close attention to the military situation of the Wang Court. Mobyduo followed the remnants of Bei Rong closely and successfully enclosed the elite of Wakhan Khan near Shahai Road. The two armies were in a stalemate for a period of time. After exhausting the food and grass of the Bei Rong army, Mópido was about to launch an offensive.

This night, Yaoying was busy in front of the lamp, Yuanjue stood aside and fanned her.

After a while, the soldiers begged to see him. He wanted to send the courtesy papers to Wang Ting, and asked Yaoying if he had any letters to send along.

“No.” Yaoying lowered her head and wrote, faintly, “Wang Ting and the western army are all important matters. I will let Chang Shi convey military intelligence reports and requests in official documents. I will not have personal letters sent to the holy city in the future. No need to ask me again.”

The soldier should be, and quit.

Yuanjue opened his mouth, and his heart felt cold.

After the princess was no longer a modern girl, she actually broke off contact with the holy city!

During this period, he was with the princess. The princess never mentioned the holy city or the king. The Western Army sent letters to the royal court almost every day, all of which were icy official documents.

Yuanjue’s fan’s hand trembled.

The princess really did what she said, no longer pestering the king, she did it so neatly, she didn’t mention the king in private, he should be happy, but the princess was so unfeeling, she forgot the king completely when she turned her head… …I don’t know what’s going on, he feels a little uncomfortable.

He still remembered that the princess stepped into the altar of fire without hesitation for Wang Yi, how could the princess forget the king so quickly?

Was the princess bewildered by those handsome lords who circled her?

The more Yuanjue thought about it, the more it felt like the treasure had been stolen. He coughed and said, “Princess, I want to report the matter to General Ashina. Does the princess have anything to help me convey?”

Yaoying lowered her head, without blinking her eyelids, “No.”

Decisive and calm, cold and ruthless.

Yuanjue’s shoulders collapsed and went back to the room to write a letter.

The letter was written to Ashina Bi Suo, he and Bi Suo are not so accustomed to them, and can’t help but write more content that has nothing to do with the business at the end of the letter.

…

A few days later, Xinying sent the letter back to the holy city, and Bamier took off the scroll and sent it directly to the grotto.

The man sitting in front of the Buddha statue held the Buddha beads in one hand and unrolled the scroll in the other.

The letter first reported the military situation in the Xizhou area, then some small frictions between the Wang Court and the Western army, and then, it was all gossip.

Several family children who admired Princess Wen Zhao rushed to Gaochang all the way, just to confirm that she was still alive, all kinds of lingering legends spread all over the prefectures for a while, and the people talked about it, guessing who the princess would choose as her husband.

The local family members were not convinced and changed their tricks to please the princess. The young man hunted a bear for the princess today and picked a rare lotus for the princess tomorrow.

Zheng Jing, who was almost married to the princess, hasn’t married his wife yet… It looks like a heartbreaker.

Such gossip was densely packed with paper rolls.

Finally, she said: Princess Wen Zhao has forgotten her love for Wang, and she hasn’t mentioned the king for many days.

Tamaraga’s fingers trembled slightly, and after reading the letter, he read it again from the beginning, raised his hand, put the paper roll in front of the candlelight, and set it ablaze.

She is a man in the dust, she has an overwhelming appearance, and naturally she must have admirers.

She forgot about him.

As the scriptures say, there is no such thing as electro-optical morning dew.

There was a sudden inexplicable emotional surging in his heart, and Tamara Gya frowned, turning to hold the beads, reciting the scriptures silently, calmly concentrating.

The footsteps outside the promenade sounded from far and near, and Bi Suo came over with a smiling voice: “King! Great Victory in Shahai Road! Wakhan Khan fell to his death and died! Mupido has returned with his army!”

Tamara Gha opened his eyes.

The temple rang the bronze bell, and news of the victory soon spread to every corner of the holy city.

The Knights of the Guards couldn’t help but excited, discussing whether Mópido would take over as the regent in the future.

The Korean ministers reacted swiftly, and they went up and down and asked about Mópido’s marriage.

Is the king preparing to marry Princess Wen Zhao and Mópido?

I heard that Mupido will marry Princess Wen Zhao after he triumphs?

After reading all the melodies, Tamaraga suddenly trembled in her hand holding the pen, leaving a winding trace on the paper.

…

Two days later, news of the victory of Shahaidao reached Gaochang.

Everyone was ecstatic: the old Khan died, Beirong was just a pan of sand. Their resistance to regain lost ground was suddenly reduced, and then they could gradually regain other states and counties!

Yang Qian immediately sent an urgent letter to Shazhou, asking them to prepare to gather their troops to attack Yizhou.

Li Zhongqian began to rectify the troops. He had been to Yizhou, and he could divide the east and the west with the western army in Shazhou to attack the remnant of Beirong in Yizhou.

Just a few days after being happy, early this morning, a fast horse galloped from the west: “Princess, a letter for help from Yanqi! Their city lord responded to the princess’s call and prepared to send a mission to Chang’an. The rebel officials promoted by the Rong people led troops to besiege. The soldiers and civilians in the city persisted for a few days, and they almost couldn’t hold it!”

After discussing for a while, several people decided that Yang Qian would take three thousand people to Yanqi to rescue the city lord.

Three thousand Xizhou soldiers set off in great strength, dusty.

Calm in the city was restored, Yaoying and Bodhidharma returned to the palace to continue discussing the attack on Yizhou. After busy until the afternoon, a scout came to report: “A large army is passing by the chaotic rocky beach a hundred miles away to the north!”

Bodhidharma said in a puzzled manner: “Yang Qian came back?”

Yaoying shook her head: “Yanqi is in the west, Yang Qian is going west, it cannot be Yang Qian.”

“Who would it be?”

Bodhidharma frowned, ordered the people outside the city to withdraw, closed the city gate, and the city was under martial law.

Everyone was puzzled. They stood in the corridor and waited for news. After a while, another scout came to report that the army was getting closer and closer to Gaochang. It was obviously aimed at Gaochang.

Yaoying’s heart suddenly jumped: “The sound is hitting the west?”

Bodhidharma’s face sank: “Yanqi is just a bait?”

Yaoying’s palms numb, calm down, and said, “We will know soon.”

On this day, when the golden twilight fell, Gaochang City’s hoofs sounded like thunder, and in the sky, a black torrent rolled and surging, and the mountains roared like a tsunami, surrounding Gaochang City.

Bodhidharma stood on the head of the city, his face like golden paper: “How come you are from Beirong?!”

He looked at the black and overwhelming Northern Rong cavalry surging from outside the city, his whole body stiff.

“Seek help from Wang Court?”

Where did the neatly formed Northern Rong army emerge from? Judging from the information they collected, it is impossible for so many Northern Rong cavalry to appear near Gaochang.

“It’s too late.” Yaoying looked at the battle formation of the Northern Rong cavalry, looked for the banner of Haidu Aling, clenched her fists, and calmed herself down, “First issue a warning and let the nearby Xizhou soldiers rush back to help.”

The whining horn sounded, and the atmosphere was solemn.
