Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3450 Sharp turn down
Wu Meiniang whispered softly: "...If things go on like this, I feel a little ashamed of my husband. It's rare to meet someone he likes. As the Queen of Good Virtue, it is impossible to marry into the mansion and make trouble. Why not be beautiful? Besides, Speaking of which, it's so hard for the lord to go west now, to eat and sleep in the snow with swords, lights and swords. If Queen Shande really has an accident, how sad will the lord be when he returns to the capital? We women, we can't just focus on For your own preferences, you should also think more about your own man."

It's not that she isn't "jealous", but "jealous" is a woman's nature, no matter how suppressed and hidden, there will always be some.However, she has always been generous, as long as her status in the manor and Fang Jun's mind is not affected, she will not do such cruel things.

Princess Gaoyang has golden branches and jade leaves, no matter what, she is a royal wife, and she cannot be shaken.Xiao Shu'er is virtuous and gentle, a lady from a famous family, and her personality is also soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but she has kept her duty since entering the mansion, never mixing with the specific affairs inside and outside the mansion, she is well-behaved and sensible.

There is no essential conflict between these two people and her, so they are naturally happy to talk to each other, and the house is peaceful.

As for Queen Shande, or her own sister Wu Shunniang, it is just a man who is greedy for flowers and lust to try something new. He can neither marry back to the mansion, nor can he fight against her. Do you want to be divorced from yourself?

Princess Gaoyang has always been majestic, probably because she was born noble, golden branches and jade leaves, and felt that even if the woman next to her was beautiful, gentle and charming, she could not threaten her status, so she never cared about Fang Jun's affairs in the room, although Fang Jun was there. The behavior in this respect is exemplary, and there is absolutely nothing to criticize.

But in the face of Queen Seondeok, looking at her elegant and luxurious temperament and beautiful and feminine demeanor, coupled with the identity of the Queen of Silla, she felt a little dissatisfied.

But at this moment, after listening to Wu Meiniang's words, she took it for granted, nodded, and changed the subject: "It was actually distracted, and I forgot the business."

Wu Meiniang asked curiously, "What's the business?"

Princess Gao Yang said with a smile: "Naturally, I will put on armor and a waist knife, and accompany me to sit in the army here! Why, is it possible that I have to let me personally change your clothes for Lady Wu?"

……

Her Royal Highness is dressed in armor, and sits heroically in the central hall. Although there is a bit of playfulness, in the eyes of the soldiers and servants in the mansion, it undoubtedly adds a reassurance. Exuberant.

*****
Li Chengqian sits in the Xingqing Palace, and news from inside and outside the city floods in like a flood, and Ma Zhou reports to him after he summarizes and selects in detail.

After receiving the news that Changsun Chong was arrested and that Hou Mo and Chenqian would be placed under house arrest, Li Chengqian let out a long sigh of relief.

He got up and went to the side of the wall, and looked at the map of the vicinity of Chang'an City on the wall with his hands behind his back. On it was the information that Ma Zhou had compiled and marked based on the information from various sources.In the south of the city, the west of the city, and the Weishui area in the north of the city, there are small black flags pasted on them.

Ma Zhou said: "The various families in Guanlong have gathered many private soldiers, servants, and dead soldiers, and even many soldiers have left the army and joined them. The total number is no less than 3, scattered in various places outside the city. In addition, a large number of people were found in the mansions of the Guanlongmen faction in various places in the city. It was obviously premeditated and spent time sneaking into the city. Everyone inside and outside the city has already made preparations and is waiting for an order Next, launch a mutiny immediately."

On the map, the enemy and ourselves are clearly distinguished, and the situation in Guanzhong is clear at a glance.

Although the Guanlong forces represented by several small black flags around Chang'an have gathered and moved towards Chang'an, but since the "Baiqisi" rushed into Zhao Guogong's mansion, these small black flags have stopped, and two even started They retreated slowly, obviously receiving news from Chang'an City, and retreated.

Everything needs a leader who can decisively point out the direction in order to survive regardless of one's own death.Right now, the Guanlongmen clan has no leader, and each family is still suspicious of each other. They are no longer as close as they were when Wei entered Zhou, abandoned Zhou and established Sui, or even destroyed Sui and entered Tang.

Cohesion can make everyone twist into one rope to seize power, but power corrodes cohesion in turn.When a person has nothing, he is the most impassioned and sees death as his home. He can dedicate everything to his comrades-in-arms.

However, the greater the interests, the greater the differences. This is the human heart.

Without Chang Sun Chong joining forces, without Hou Mo and Chen Qian's raising his arms, the powerful Guanlongmen Clan is just a mess, coveting benefits but fearing each other, lest they charge forward but be stabbed in the back by their companions, Blood flowed all over the floor, but finally made a wedding dress...

"Mafu Yin thinks, can Guan Long's plan continue this time?"

Li Chengqian relaxed, took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him, and asked with a smile.

The news of the father's death was tightly sealed, and no one dared to reveal it at this time, even the Guanlongmen Clan, otherwise the mutiny they planned would not be "military remonstrance", but treason.As long as the current crisis can be overcome, when Li Ji leads hundreds of thousands of troops back to Guanzhong, the overall situation will be settled.

Ma Zhou stood with his hands tied, frowned and looked at the map on the wall, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness seems to have ignored Zhao Guogong?"

Not only Li Chengqian?Even Li Jing, Xiao Yu and the others all unanimously kept Changsun Wuji out of danger...

Li Chengqian put down his teacup, walked to the desk and sat down, and said relaxedly: "It's not that I ignored Zhao Guogong, but Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, and it's a severe winter at this time, and the road is dangerous. No matter how easy it is, I can't even think about going back within two months." To Chang'an. Zhao Guogong is old, and these years he has been pampered, how can he withstand such a long journey? If the journey is in a hurry, the body will not be able to bear it."

I hurried on my way step by step, I am afraid that I will not return until after the year.If you rush on the road hard, how can an old bone stand the toss?Probably returning to Chang'an is dying, how can I still have the energy to preside over the overall situation...

Ma Zhou still couldn't let it go, and reminded: "Although the navy is all in the hands of Su Dingfang, the Changsun family has many cooperations with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is sea trade or north-south trade, there are many boats in the caravan. The ship braved the north wind and severe cold to go to sea to meet it, which will definitely shorten the time required for the journey and get a good rest."

Now the mountains in Liaodong are covered by heavy snow, and the road to the north of Yanshan Mountain is impassable. To return to Guanzhong, you can only go south from Youying Erzhou and follow the low passage along the seaside to enter Hebei via Yuguan, and then go west.This section of the road just turns a big bay around the Bohai Sea, and the journey is nearly a thousand miles.If you go directly to Lulong in the south of Yuguan by boarding a sea boat from Gaimucheng or Meigouying, etc., you will not only shorten the journey, but also save more than ten days.

Don't say that the sea is frozen and sealed, the navy can break the sea ice and transport the supplies and ordnance to Ping Rang City, how can Changsun Wuji not be able to board the ship?
With the influence of the grandson's family, it is enough to do this.

Ma Zhou added: "Furthermore, I have heard that there are Shanyue people in Lingnan area who are good at raising flying pigeons, and they can drive them to send letters as far as thousands of miles away."

If Changsun Wuji arrived at Lulong by sea boat and landed, there would have been people from the Changsun family in Lulong with this kind of carrier pigeon to respond, and quickly pass on Changsun Wuji's order to Chang'an in this way, even if he has not yet returned. Guanzhong can also secretly preside over the overall situation.

Li Chengqian was terrified: "There is still such a way of sending messages?"

Flying pigeons can still fly thousands of miles to send messages?It is simply unimaginable, how can a mere flying bird know the way home across thousands of miles?
Ma Zhou said solemnly, "It's absolutely true!"

It is said that this method of flying pigeons to convey messages is only used by the people of Shanyue in the deep mountains of Lingnan. Tie it to the pigeon's leg and let the pigeon fly. The pigeon is naturally home-loving and has the talent of knowing the way, so it flies home by itself and sends the message back.

Although Changsun Wuji may not know this method of transmission of letters, but everything is just in case... What if Changsun Wuji happens to know?For the current precarious situation, the slightest risk cannot be taken.

Li Chengqian was terrified in his heart, and said: "I will send an order to the army in the city, and I must not take it lightly!"

However, before he could give an order, a servant trot in from outside and said in a panic: "Your Highness, something is wrong. The soldiers of Hou Mo and Chen's family have already entered the city through the city gate!"

"what?!"

Li Chengqian got up abruptly, and exclaimed in disbelief, as expected, Ma Zhou was right. If no one secretly organized and dispatched troops, how could the Guanlongmen Clan react so quickly, and even enter the city brazenly?At present, the only person with such prestige and ability is Changsun Wuji.

Just now I was secretly happy, thinking that Changsun Chong would be arrested, Hou Mo Chenqian would be under house arrest, Guanlongmen clan would have no leader, and the crisis was close to being eliminated, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse in just a moment.

Mutiny was inevitable.
