Chapter 1135 This is Haner
Jia Ping'an left.
Xincheng sat there, the steam on the teacup in front of her eyes blurred her delicate face.
"Princess."
Huang Shu came in.
"The princess has been alone for many years, lonely and helpless. From the perspective of other men, none of them are a good match for the princess. They are either focusing on money or power. They can't find a person who really likes the princess...and those people are mediocre, how can they be the princess?" Is he the princess' lover?"
Xincheng stretched out his jade hand and flicked on the guqin.
In the sound of the piano, Huang Shu continued: "The princess is so delicate. It's not a slave's lie. Who in the world can compare with the princess? Such a delicate princess is lonely and helpless. Princess, you should think about it."
The marriage of Xincheng made the emperor and empress very troubled, and all suitable candidates in Chang'an City were brought to Xincheng for review. The emperor said, as long as the younger sister likes it, even if she is tied, she must tie that person.
Xincheng raised his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
"There are so many men in the world. Most of those men are interested in power and money. Only Xiao Jia looks at me without utilitarianism."
But it was hot, which made me uneasy.
Xincheng moved the left hand held by Jia Pingan before, as if he could still feel the warmth and strength.
"Yes!" Huang Shu said: "At first I was thinking of those handsome men, but I realized later that handsome men are only one of them, the princess..."
Huang Shu hesitated to speak, and Xincheng didn't rush, just sat there quietly.
Is Xiao Jia going to fight?
He is facing Lu Dongzan this time, the powerful minister of Tubo who even Aye admires, is he his opponent?
It would be good if we win, but what if the battle is unfavorable?
Xincheng felt uneasy.
Huang Shu was depressed for a while, but seeing Xincheng's expression was calm, she thought she wanted to hear the next words.
"The last time the princess went to a banquet, I was outside with the maids and listened to their bragging. I mentioned the men of those wives. It is said that no matter how handsome a man is, that is the case. What those wives said... Rijiusheng At first, when I touched it, my heart beat like thunder, but when I held it, it felt like I was holding my own hand."
Xincheng was taken aback, "What kind of nonsense is this?"
Huang Shu cursed and swore, saying that these words were all heard.
"It's what those ladies said in secret, princess, really."
Xincheng thought of the feeling of being held by Jia Ping'an before, and the whole person was dizzy, as if in a state of being slightly drunk, and that feeling in his heart! Unable to speak…
Poor Xincheng, she almost became Wei Zheng's daughter-in-law earlier, and later the son-in-law became the man of the eldest grandson's family.
She is a delicate princess, and the son-in-law has to apply to see her, and those servants act like wolves and tigers as checkpoints, so that she has never experienced this kind of feeling that later generations call love.
"Princess, it doesn't matter if you are handsome!"
"Besides, Zhao Guogong is also handsome!"
Xiao Jia's handsomeness is still heroic.
Xincheng said decisively: "The so-called long-term boredom means that you don't like the other party."
Huang Shu also suddenly realized, "Yes, those men and women are spouses determined by their parents. It's up to them whether they like it or not. No wonder they get tired of it."
Will I get tired of Xiao Jia?
Xincheng thought about it, and his ears turned red.
"Prepare the car, I will go to the palace."
Xincheng all the way into the palace.
"How is the emperor?"
Li Zhi shook his head, "Headache is splitting, and I can't see."
Xincheng frowned, "You have had this disease for a long time. Xiao Jia said that it was a tumor growing in his brain, which squeezed the blood vessels, so that he couldn't see things, and he had a splitting headache."
Li Zhi had this problem since he was a teenager, and the late Emperor was very worried about it.
"Why don't you...be a vegetarian."
Li Zhi was waiting for his sister to come up with an idea, but unexpectedly it was this one, and almost fell off the couch.
"You, you, I am already pure-hearted and ascetic. No matter how vegetarian I am, no one outside Fang is as quiet as I am."
Xincheng said: "But I think you can live longer."
Li Zhi was silent, and said for a long time: "I know."
If someone else said this, he would definitely be scolded by the emperor, or even scolded, but Li Zhi felt very warm at this moment.
Xincheng sat down, "I heard that Tubo is about to make a move? But are you going to fight?"
Li Zhi nodded, "It is definitely necessary to fight, but when to fight is up to Tang."
Xincheng said: "Aye said back then that if Tubo hadn't been on a high ground, after defeating the Turks, Aye would have planned to conquer Tubo and wipe out one threat for the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes!" Li Zhi was accustomed to his younger sister's intelligence. "In the dispute between the court and China, most of them said that they were waiting for the news of Tubo's mobilization of troops, but Jia Ping'an asserted that they would do it this year...I can't make a decision for a while."
"Emperor, what did the British princes say?"
Li Zhi frowned, "The British prince is silent."
Xincheng rejoiced, "This supports Zhao Guogong's opinion!"
yes!
Li Zhi also knows it, but he needs time to make up his mind in such a war of overwhelming power.
Xincheng came out after having dinner in the palace.
"Meet Aunt Xincheng."
Li Xianlu met Xincheng, so he saluted quickly.
Xincheng stopped, "Where is Liulang going?"
Li Xian said: "I'm going to see the prince Cuju."
"Very good."
Xincheng knew that the prince was weak, so Jia Pingan arranged some exercises for him since he was a child.
Xiao Jia is sincere to people, and this alone is better than countless men.
"Aunt Xincheng."
Li Xian smiled and said: "I heard that there are many books in my aunt's house. I want to have a look at them in my spare time. May I?"
sure…
Xincheng suddenly frowned, thinking what if Xiao Jia went and met Liu Lang?
But how to refuse?
"If you say that the place with the largest collection of books is the palace." Xincheng pointed to Han Da and asked, "Does Liulang often go to the place where books are collected?"
Well!
of course not!
But how dare Han Da say that?
Xincheng said indifferently: "Diaonu, come!"
The waiter who sent Xincheng out shouted: "You poor dog slave, the eldest princess dares to be evasive when she asks questions, take it down!"
Han Da knelt down with a plop, "I dare not..."
Xincheng took a look at Li Xian and stopped asking, "A man has to be responsible. You coax people to go out to play. What will happen when you grow up? I won't tell the emperor about this, but next time you lie, you will be punished severely." !"
Xincheng is like a white cloud, which looks like a small white flower, but the pride in its bones is unparalleled.
Li Xian's impression of this aunt was that she was weak, but she didn't expect to be hit in the head today.
"yes!"
After leaving the palace, Huang Shu whispered: "Princess, King Pei is not young. He said that he will leave the palace next year to open the mansion. I think it will not be easy for him to come to the mansion."
"Of course I know."
Xincheng got into the carriage, and the curtains fell.
"He is trying to curry favor with me and let me speak well of him to the emperor."
"The princess's words are very true."
It's not that Xincheng is not smart, it's just that she doesn't want to argue with those she doesn't like.
"The emperor's house..."
She sighed faintly.
…
Jia Ping'an touched Xincheng's little hand, and when he turned around, he suffered retribution.
"Wang Yuanyuan was seriously injured in the attack."
The scumbag was furious, "Those low dog slaves, seeing that his business is booming, so they attacked."
Jia Pingan felt that this was wrong.
"This is Chang'an. Wang Yuanyuan is engaged in smuggling business, and those who have interests involved are those Tubo smugglers. But who doesn't know that Wang Yuanyuan is on good terms with you?"
Jia Pingan sneered, "The best doctor was invited to treat him. Forget it, you go to the palace to see His Majesty, and you say that Wang Yuanyuan is important to Datang, so you invited a medical officer who is good at trauma in the palace to change into plain clothes."
Li Yuanying was taken aback, "Is there any other love inside?"
"certainly."
Li Yuanying entered the palace to ask for instructions, Li Zhi was also startled, and then nodded in agreement.
He is waiting for news.
The sun has set, and today's dinner is here.
"Your Majesty, today we have stir-fried shepherd's purse and braised tofu..."
Li Zhi listened to the recipe, "Where's the meat?"
Wang Zhongliang said in embarrassment: "The queen said, eat meat once every two days."
Li Zhi: "..."
After a long time, the emperor's face turned red before he choked out a sentence, "How unreasonable!"
After dinner, Li Zhi asked someone to support him to take a walk outside.
Evening wind blowing, slightly hot.
Li Zhi said: "I seem to see the scorching sun hanging high..."
Wang Zhongliang felt hot after thinking about it.
"The two armies below lined up facing each other, waiting for the general's order before charging fearlessly."
Wang Zhongliang supported him, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is now invincible in the world. Except for Tubo, there is no opponent..."
"Jia Ping'an said last time that I should conscript myself, and I deeply agree."
Li Zhi had long wanted to conquest himself, especially when he conquered Goryeo, but was stopped by his officials.
"Emperors cannot stay away from the battlefield, otherwise warriors will be domineering."
Li Zhi's eyes were blank, "Young man Wulang, I'm thinking, when will he be allowed to do it himself, let him know the importance of the army, and let the generals know who is the master of the army."
"Your Majesty, Shen Qiu is here."
Shen Qiu hurriedly arrived.
"Your Majesty, Wang Yuanyuan was attacked outside her residence, and the murderer fled."
Li Zhi asked: "Does he have any enemies in Chang'an?"
"None."
Shen Qiu has already done an investigation.
"Are you going to kill people, or what?"
"The cut was deep, but fortunately it missed a bit, otherwise he would definitely die."
"I see."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Before the big battle, we should clean up the internal traitors. Lu Dongzan's methods are subtle and clever, but it's a pity that the people who did it were so wrong."
On the second day, Wang Yuanyuan was already awake.
"It was the Tibetans who did it!"
He then entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, this is a means to cleanse the traitors before the war."
Li Zhi nodded, "I see."
The emperor would not say what he judged in advance. He needed to watch his courtiers express their opinions, and then compare it with his own judgment to draw a more reliable conclusion, and then make a decision based on this.
This is stability.
Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty, in this way, Lu Dongzan is going to make a move."
Everyone was shocked.
Is the big war coming?
The prime ministers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, I think you should send troops."
Liu Rengui seemed to hear the sound of war drums, "I invite you to go."
This shameless!
Li Yifu was backstabbed many times by him, and he said calmly: "Liu Xiang understands battle formation?"
Liu Rengui said: "Of course I understand battle formation."
Li Yifu smiled and said: "During the campaign in Liaodong, Liu Xiang was just a lieutenant general, right?"
Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face!
But Liu Rengui likes face slaps the most.
So is Li Yifu.
This time it was Liu Rengui who got slapped.
Li Yifu said very gently: "This is a national war, and the famous generals who have not been on the battlefield cannot go out."
You Liu Rengui is far behind.
"Li Yifu!"
Old Liu is not a good stump, he has backstabbed many opponents in history. Sometimes even Li Zhi wanted to vomit blood when he became domineering.
If you want to say that Li Yifu is awesome, he can get him. I'm sorry, but Liu Rengui is not without party members, and his official career is even less turbulent. He started his career by following Jia Ping'an's conquest of Goryeo, so he had no handle to Li Yifu.
Thinking of this, Liu Rengui shouted: "Traitor, you were enjoying the blessings in Chang'an when I was fighting on the battlefield, and you were still selling your official position when I was sitting in Liaodong and killing countless people!"
"Liu Rengui!"
The two prime ministers who like to tease their colleagues the most in the DPRK are fighting.
The eyes of the two met, and the anger almost burst out.
Someone yawned, "Should I call or not? If not, continue the discussion."
The one who can say such words is Xu Jingzong.
Li Zhi suddenly felt that his prime ministers were a little strange.
Needless to say, Xu Jingzong can be called a wonderful flower among the wonderful ones.
Liu Rengui is defiant, Li Yifu is vicious, Dou Dexuan is all about money, Shangguanyi has no opinion...
As for Li Ji, even if Li Yifu and Liu Rengui were beaten to death, he wouldn't take a second look.
This court...is really very lively!
But business matters.
"Your Majesty, I think it's time to order a general to go to war..."
Shangguanyi fired a cannonball.
alright!
All stopped.
Who can lead the army in this kind of national war?
The first one is naturally Li Ji.
Everyone took a look, Li Ji closed his eyes, most likely fell asleep.
This man is the only one who can sleep in the court hall. Another emperor can make him go home and sleep forever.
the second…
It seems that there is no second one.
After the founding generals gradually aged, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty discovered a very embarrassing reality, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty were out of gear.
Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi and others are just fledglings at the moment, and they can't be a big scene.
Without a famous general to lead the army, who would dare to decide the battle of the country?
That is to say, within ten or twenty years, Datang can only take a defensive position.
It was for this reason that Tubo won many battles against Datang in the future.
Xue Rengui led the army to go out and lose!
Li Jingxuan led the army to go out, defeated!
Both of them were defeated by Lu Dongzan's son Qinling. For a while, Qinling's name was so powerful that people dare not look directly at it.
Later, Datang had no choice but to come up with a plan to divorce, Zanpu made a move, and Qinling died.
Of course Li Zhi also knew this. He sent Xue Rengui to the war with the intention of cultivating him. But after the war, he asked the old coaches in private, and they turned out to be ambiguous.
An ambiguous attitude is a statement.
In the end, Li Ji expressed his opinion directly.
Xue Rengui is a fierce general!
Li Zhi understood immediately.
A fierce general can charge into battle, but he is powerless to lead an army.
He looked left and right, and finally he could only look at the young man.
Thirty years old is not young anymore. How many young generals and famous ministers were there when the Tang Dynasty was founded? But the Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, and gradually entered the stage of ranking seniority according to seniority.
The prime ministers are also looking at Jia Pingan.
The emperor did not mention Xue Rengui, which shows that he rejected the possibility of this person leading the army.
"This is a big battle!"
"It's also a national war!"
Emperor and Empress expressed their positions one after the other.
Li Yifu glanced at Jia Pingan, with all kinds of vicious thoughts in his heart, but in the end it disappeared.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jia Pingan came out.
"Your Majesty, I wish to lead the army and defeat Tubo!"
Empress Wu said with some worry in relief: "In the former Han Dynasty, the admonishing doctor finally invited the army to go to South Vietnam, and said: I wish to accept the long tassel, and I will restrain the king of South Vietnam. Tubo, a strong enemy! This victory is hard to lose. Unexpectedly, Ping An took the initiative to invite Ying, he can be called a man!"
Li Zhi nodded, "This battle is of great importance. I read all over the court, and the loyal generals are like stars in the sky."
This is appeasement!
The candidates for the expedition were also decided.
"Jia Qing fought as a young man and won many battles. The battle of Liaodong made me even more delighted. Lu Dong praised Tiaoliang, and I will fight with a large army. Jia Qing, don't fall into the prestige of the Tang Dynasty."
Jia Pingan saluted, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"
When they left the hall, the prime ministers all bowed their hands.
"In this national war, we will do our best to transport food and supplies for the army, and Duke Zhao will do his best."
Jia Ping'an returned the gift, "This trip will definitely destroy the enemy's sharp edge and make the enemy frightened!"
Jia Ping'an turned around and strode forward.
"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty ended the army, and the weak crown tied captives invited long tassels."
The prime ministers behind him nodded slightly when they heard the sound.
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun."
Xu Jingzong praised: "Ban Chao led only thirty-six people to the Western Regions, and settled in more than fifty cities. He has been in the Western Regions for more than thirty years, and he was named Dingyuanhou. There are so many good men in the former Han Dynasty. I am a Tang man. Live up to this body, and don't let the predecessors be more beautiful than the former!"
"A man should be in serious danger, how can Ru Guan miss this life..."
The heroic singing voice gradually faded away.
…
"Tubo is about to start."
Cui Chen brought the latest news.
"Why?"
Lu Shunzai asked.
Cui Chen shook his head, "I don't know, but today's court discussion, although there are not many leaks, but I know that the court is quite vigilant against Tubo, saying that once the Turks are destroyed, the peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will be shattered."
Lu Shungui, who was reading a book, raised his eyes and said: "The Turks are declining. If Tubo doesn't take action, the Tang Dynasty will do it. Lu Dongzan is a hero, so he naturally knows this truth. In this way, taking the initiative to attack can inspire the morale of the army and the people."
Everyone was silent.
"I'm so angry!"
Wang Sheng came in cursing.
"What's the matter?" Cui Chen had never seen Wang Sheng so angry before, so he couldn't help laughing.
Wang Sheng scolded: "Jia Ping'an, that cheap dog slave, humiliated us by singing a song earlier."
Lu Shungui said curiously: "Tell me, old man."
"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty ended the army, the weak crown tied captives please long tassels..."
"interesting!"
Lu Shungui put down the book, wanting to listen to the song Wang Nian handed over.
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun."
"Extraordinary momentum!"
Lu Shungui praised.
Cui Chen said indifferently: "There is no literary talent."
Lu Shungui glanced at him, "The song is the voice of the heart, the important thing is to let the listener feel the voice of the heart, to feel the momentum, what nonsense literary talent, it's just for pretending!"
Seeing Cui Chen's persistence, Lu Shungui said: "You say you have no literary talents, how can you compare Xiao Jia's poems?"
Cui Chen was silent.
"A man should be in danger, how can he let Confucianism miss this life."
Everyone was stunned.
Cui Chen was furious, "This insults Confucianism too much, Jia Ping'an is so courageous!"
"He has always been very courageous." Lu Shungui narrowed his eyes and seemed to be quite enjoying himself. "How can I let the Confucian crown miss this life? Isn't Confucianism inappropriate? Or is it that my gentry is not brave enough?"
Ahem!
Everyone coughed dryly.
Lu Shungui said: "Li Ji and others are getting old, but they can't find famous generals other than Jia Ping'an in the court. My gentry keeps saying that the family tradition is profound. Since the family tradition is profound, why can't they wear armor?"
Everyone was silent.
Lu Shungui stood up, "Bring the old man's knife!"
He walked into the courtyard, took the horizontal knife, and started to swing it.
"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty ended the army, and the weak crown tied captives invited long tassels."
The old voice echoed in the courtyard.
A follower whispered: "This is Han'er!"
…
Ask for a monthly pass!
