The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

On the bluestone steps outside Tai Chi Hall, Li Changqing remained majestic even though he was kneeling on the ground.

His face was majestic and his eyes were sharp, making people fearful and afraid to look directly at him.

Li Xiuning's steps were very slow, which was completely different from her usual walking with wind.

There was deep love on her beautiful face.

Walking up to Li Changqing, he said softly:"Changqing, I have met my eldest grandson Wugu. She has a gentle and virtuous personality and a dignified and beautiful appearance. She will be a good wife and mother. Promise your father to marry her." Li

Changqing's body remained motionless, his eyes always looking straight ahead, and said:"Xiuning, you know that you are the only one in my heart, and there is no room for other women. Changqing has only two wishes in this life, one is to calm the world, build the kingdom of heaven, and let the All nations come to court. I wish to stay with you forever, forever."

Li Xiuning's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart was extremely uneasy. But she still acted strong on the surface and said:

"Although you and I are not related by blood, we are siblings. Incest between brother and sister is not tolerated in the world. Changqing, you are the great general of the Tang Dynasty, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. How can I be reviled by the world and not tolerated by the world just because I am a woman?"

In ancient times, it was not uncommon for younger brothers to marry their aunts, fathers to marry their daughter- in-law, and sons to marry their father's concubines. Because women in ancient times had a low status and were just accessories to men. Concubines could even be given to friends at will.

But between brothers, brothers and sisters It is absolutely forbidden to have intercourse with each other.

Brothers and sisters are the closest relatives. The relationship with brothers, sister-in-law, father-in-law and daughter-in-law is completely different.

Once intercourse occurs, it violates the ethical principles and is incest! It will be condemned by the world. Being reviled by the world!

Li Changqing was not moved by Li Xiuning's words and said:"Even if you are reviled by the world, even if you are not tolerated by the world, so what?"

Li Xiuning felt a heart-wrenching pain. She knelt down, stroked Li Changqing's cheek with both hands, and said,"But I don't want to see you like this."

"Evergreen heart is like a rock, Xiu Ning needs no words."Li Changqing said, and gave an order to the guard standing at the door of Taiji Hall:"It's late at night, why don't you take Princess Pingyang down to have a rest."

After yesterday's Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan no longer trusts the Nanya Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army, and is conducting a thorough investigation of the two armies.

At this time, the entire imperial city's guard army has been replaced by five thousand dragon cavalry guards under Li Changqing's command.

The two guards at the entrance of Taiji Hall were Li Changqing's old subordinates.

They took the order, walked to Princess Pingyang, and said:"Deputy Commander, please!"

What Li Changqing determined cannot be changed overnight. Li Xiuning knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him today, so he sighed and left the Tai Chi Hall.

……

The sun rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, Li Changqing knelt outside the Tai Chi Hall for two whole days and nights.

That night, the city of Chang'an was covered with dark clouds and the stars were dim.

The heavy rain fell from the sky, hitting people's faces painfully.

Li Xiuning walked out of Tai Chi Hall and came to persuade Li Changqing for the third time.

Li Changqing was the first to speak:"Xiuning, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I still say the same thing, I am not afraid of the world's rebuke, let alone secular ideas."

Li Xiuning shook his head and said:"There are so many disciples of the scholar family, and they like to talk the most. Killing the powerful, even the father, can't stop everyone from talking."

At this moment, Li Changqing's eyes burst out with murderous intent, and his voice suddenly became cold,"I am a general with 80,000 armor, who dares to say more, I Just kill him until he shuts up!"

"Royal incest will definitely spread throughout the world, how can you still kill everyone in the world!"

Li Changqing's face turned livid and he stopped talking.

Li Xiuning was silent for a while before continuing:"Changqing, my father has been so angry with you that he hasn't eaten in the past two days. In addition, he is so angry that he has fallen ill on the bed. I just visited him and he was very weak."

Hearing this, Li Changqing's resolute expression, which had never changed, changed slightly.

To him, Li Yuan was not his biological father, but he was better than his biological father. He treated him better than his biological son!

Even his legitimate sons, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, treated him extremely well. Jealousy.

Li Xiuning said softly:"The imperial doctor said that my father was so angry that he fell ill. This is a heart disease! He still doesn't eat anything. If his knot cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for him to recover. Changqing, for the sake of his father, he promised his sister to marry his eldest grandson Wugu, okay?"

Li Changqing's body trembled slightly, and the fists hidden in his sleeves could not help but clenched.

Li Xiuning continued:"Changqing, you have the ambition of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. You want to lead troops across the desert, wipe out the Turks, suppress the Tibetans, and pacify the alien races. Let all nations come to congratulate you. Now that the ambition has not been realized, how can it be affected by me?

Today is the last time I advise you. If you don’t agree to your father’s marriage to your eldest grandson Wugu, I will cut off three thousand green silk hairs and become a nun. From then on, I will always be under the green lamp."

Li Changqing took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain.

After a long time, he stood up silently and stopped kneeling on the bluestone.

A look of sadness flashed across Li Xiuning's eyes.

Her voice was ethereal. , seemed to be floating from a distance:"Changqing, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, you haven't danced for me with the sword for two years. Can you dance for me again today?""

"If sister likes it, Changqing is willing to dance sword for you every day."

Taking the long sword handed over by Li Xiuning, Li Changqing moved with the sword.

Everyone knows that Li Changqing is unparalleled in bravery and is known as the best general in the world. He is an expert at wielding a square-shaped halberd.

But only Li Xiuning knows that what Li Changqing is best at is not The halberd is a sword.

His sword skills are like a dragon, unparalleled in the world.

Just because he is not suitable to use a sword to kill enemies on the battlefield, he chose Fang Tian to draw a halberd. When the starlight dimmed, a sword light suddenly rose up, as bright as Hou Yi shot down for nine days.

Li Changqing's sword posture was strong and agile, just like a god flying with a dragon.

When he danced, the sword was like thunder, which was suffocating.

The sword light flashed, and the guards outside the Tai Chi Hall held their breath and showed excitement.

After a while , Li Xiuning used her sleeves as swords and danced with Li Changqing on the bluestone stage.

She had a graceful figure, with crimson lips and beaded sleeves, reflecting the summer stars.

The two danced swords on a rainy night, like a couple of gods.

In the hall, under the permission of Li Yuan The eldest grandson Wugou, who had not left yet, watched through the gap between the window and door, feeling both fascinated and saddened.

She was smart and sensitive, and she had roughly guessed the relationship between Li Changqing and Li Xiuning in the past two days.
