After dinner, Xue Chongxun went to the Princess' Mansion in the evening. Before the other four civil and military officials arrived, Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong were probably about to arrive, and the two generals had to be late. He heard that his mother was in the "Golden Light Hall", so he rushed there along the lakeside.

Jinguang Hall is a Buddhist temple in the princess's mansion. Its name comes from the city gate "Golden Light Gate" west of Chang'an. The relationship between the Buddhist temple and the city gate is actually twists and turns, because Jinguang Hall is on a small hill, and the hill is an island in the lake... The water in the lake comes from the canal, which happened to be the canal that entered the city from a place close to Jinguang Gate. The person who named Jinguang Hall is really a talent...

One feature of the Tang Dynasty's buildings is that they are large. The current Daming Palace is many times larger than that of the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations. Not only that, the residences of the nobles and the people are relatively large. Many officials have vegetables in their homes. Dozens of people in the mansion don't buy vegetables very much, and they grow a lot... You can see all kinds of crops in Chang'an City. Some remote places in the city do not look like cities at all, but like countryside.

Not to mention the area of ​​Princess Taiping’s Mansion, Xue Chongxun rode a horse to go to the Jinguang Hall behind. After passing an arch bridge, he got off the horse and walked, climbing up the mountain along the stone ladder.

When he entered the Golden Light Hall, the spotless wooden floor made people feel comfortable. The ground was not dirty even if it sat directly on it or lie down. At this time, he saw Princess Taiping and was a little surprised because she was wearing a simple and elegant dress... In Xue Chongxun's impression, she liked the red and lively, and her clothes were always luxurious and gorgeous, and rarely so simple.

"I've never seen outsiders these days, so hurry for a few days." said too lightly.

Xue Chongxun looked back and saw that there were only two mothers and sons in the house, which was very quiet. There was an eunuch outside, standing bored with a whisk.

She actually wanted to bathe and fast, and was probably the same as Xue Chongxun, and she was worried in her heart. Indeed, when she really thought about the specificity of the coup, she found that the powerful forces were all over the clouds and it was still difficult to do things.

Xue Chongxun looked at Taiping and suddenly felt that her outfit was more elegant now. Perhaps his aesthetic tended to be more restrained and beautiful. He lacked approval for the popular and beautiful beauty.

Princess Taiping has a very plump figure, which is suitable for the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty. Her facial contour is generous and full, and she has no slim spirit. This makes her very imposing on weekdays and has something to do with her appearance. Today, her makeup looks a little different from usual, with her simple clothes and a little desolate expression... But in Xue Chongxun's mind, Chang'e's image always seems to be wearing white clothes. When she saw that her mother was wearing a white silk long skirt, she always remembered Chang'e in the Moon Palace...

At this time, Princess Taiping asked, "Have you come up with a solution? What are the steps?"

Xue Chongxun hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have thought about it back to my mother. I have thought about it many times, and I feel that the first killer move at the beginning cannot be used by the Yulin Army..."

Princess Taiping was thinking about it, and she should have been conceiving the coup during this period.

Xue Chongxun continued: "If you start with the Yulin Army, there are two difficulties that cannot be solved. One is premeditated. We can only let the two generals know in advance. If the news spreads in the Yulin Army and the people in the imperial guards are too talkative and complicated, the secret may be leaked; the other is speed. The temporary mobilization of the army will take too long from mobilization to attack, and it will be too late to be unexpected. The thousands of cavalry of Xuanwu Gate are still in the hands of Li Longji. If we cannot give a fatal blow unexpectedly, it will be difficult to deal with it later." After he said that, he hesitated for a long time and said in a deep voice, "My idea is to use the Flying Tiger Regiment!"

Taiping said inexplicably: "Flying Tiger Regiment? The Imperial Guard has this group of people... Oh, are you talking about the private soldier in Luoyang?"

Xue Chongxun's eyes showed a hint of excitement: "That's right! The Flying Tiger Regiment is all from Hedong, and the soldiers have no background. The news cannot be transmitted to it within a few days; the generals are all mine, so reliable. In addition, they are all carefully selected brave men and have good combat power. So after thinking about it, only this group of people is the most suitable!"

Taiping pondered: "But there are only three hundred people, what can you do? Tell me about your plans first."

Xue Chongxun said: "The prince lives in Longqingfang and is guarding his personal soldiers every day to work in Tai Chi Palace. I paid attention and observed that his daily route and time were almost fixed, with only more than 300 cavalry around him. The way to court was our opportunity. I first secretly transferred the Flying Tiger Regiment to sneak into Chang'an, and then immediately deployed an attack, directly annihilated the prince and his people, and carried out a beheading operation. I first killed the prince and started the game, and then rushed into the fifth prince's mansion and killed King Qi and King Xue... In this way, Wanqi was already in the group without a leader. My mother ordered the Yulin Army to pass through Tai Chi Palace and force it to the Xuanwu Gate, and used the name of "the prince forced the palace with force, illegally seized the throne, and the accomplices destroyed the clan" to dismantle the Wanqi."

"It sounds good at first glance..." Taiping frowned and pondered, "but the Flying Tigers are still far away in Luoyang. It is such a complicated process from secretly transferring to Chang'an to killing the prince. As long as there is any error in the middle, everything will be lost!"

Xue Chongxun said: "There is no way. I have thought that none of the armored soldiers in Chang'an is reliable. Most of the guards in my mother's mansion are guards. I'm afraid that it is a bit mysterious to call them to do such things, and the others do not have that strength."

As Xue Chongxun said, the emperor's feet, whether it is a general, a prime minister, or a royal relative, he dare not raise too many armed forces in Chang'an City, otherwise it would be a rebellion. More than ten pairs of armor were enough to commit crimes, not to mention hundreds or thousands of armies, unless it was a national army like the imperial guards and the imperial guards. Only Li Longji and Duke Taiping were mainly stronger, and the armed forces in the mansion were enough to see: Li Long was basically the prince, and the Eastern Palace Guard was an armed force recognized by the system; Princess Taiping was favored, but most of the people on duty in the Princess's Mansion were palace guards, composed of the children of the official family, with complex components, and such things as pursuing rebellion were not reliable.

The advantages and disadvantages are obvious now: on the surface, Princess Taiping has a huge power and has an absolute advantage; in fact, she has to fight hard, and the prince is much stronger than her. Although the Eastern Palace Guards are not many, their role has been reflected so far, and they are also famous. Once Li Longji ascended the throne, the emperor's title is very effective, justified, and it is easier to win the imperial guards. With the courage and people's hearts, the situation is simply too beneficial to him!

Princess Taiping said worriedly: "Your method is really not good, there are too many loopholes in the middle. The biggest loophole is how to deploy it in Chang'an without knowing it? There are still 300 people who have no advantage over more than 300 heavy cavalry. You don't have armor and long weapons yet, so you can win? Even if you win, Li Longji will run away and go directly to Xuanwu Gate? "

Xue Chongxun sighed and said, "Is there any other way? I dare to conclude that the four of them will come soon. If my mother asks for advice, they will definitely suggest taking action in Wude Hall, Yulin Army and Nanya soldiers to attack this method... Mother, which method do you think is good? Or is there any other way?"

Princess Taiping looked pale, paced left and right, looking like she was devastated, and she murmured: "It's really only a fish to kill you?"

Xue Chongxun was very anxious, hurriedly grabbed her shoulder, stared at her eyes and said, "Mother, since she has made up her mind, you must not hesitate to retreat, otherwise you don't have to fight, we have already lost!"

"You are asking everyone to die!" Taiping's mood was a little out of control. At this moment, it was the first time that Xue Chongxun saw her exposing her weak side. Yes, fear and retreat are the best manifestations of weakness.

Xue Chongxun said: "I have figured out a solution to how to secretly transfer the Flying Tiger Regiment to Chang'an, but there is no big problem. As for fighting with Li Longji, there is only a bloody battle! The troops are divided into two groups and blocked him on the long street, with no way forward and behind... Even if he flew from the sky, as long as he successfully prevented him from reaching Xuanwu Gate, he still has a chance."

He shouted decisively: "The best way is to kill Li Longji first!"

It is naturally easy to win if you use part of the Yulin Army to kill the Prince's Guard, but if the Yulin Army soldiers stayed in the palace for a long time, they were afraid of leaking the secrets.

Xue Chongxun put his hands on Taiping's shoulders and felt her shoulders trembling... trembling, she was scared... Xue Chongxun took a breath and said, "At least we still have a chance, so let's fight him. Even if we lose, we have tried our best to end. There is nothing to regret. I will go on the road with my mother."

"I..." Taiping's face looked very ugly. Xue Chongxun hurriedly hugged her in his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her. At this moment, he realized that the fierce and vicious Princess Taiping was just strong on the outside and had a heart that was not as good as him. Psychologically, she was afraid that her mother would rely more on her son at this moment.

Xue Chongxun said kindly: "I remember when I was learning to use swords, I always lost a lot of money when I was practicing fighting with Tangtuan. I couldn't stop a single move. He said to me: You are thinking too much. You are either guessing the other party's tricks or thinking about your own tricks. Instead, it will affect the response. It's better to be open and move forward. Mother, no strategy is useful now. The other party will not play tricks with us, but we just need to use martial arts. We have to fight hard."

Taiping hesitated for a moment, gently wrapped his arms around Xue Chongxun's waist, leaned his head gently, and said lightly: "Just hug me like this."

Xue Chongxun was busy emitting emotional cards, trying to make his voice emotional: "My son is willing to fight for his mother and protect your safety forever." It cannot be said to be false, but he is very afraid and fearful now. If he doesn't force himself to hold on, the mother and son retreat together and can only wait for death.
