King Pei waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. When you leave the house through the back door, be careful not to be seen."
Li Dan nodded, pulled up his cloak and hat, and left the room.
…
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had more than twenty daughters, so there were many princess palaces in Chang'an City.
However, since Taizong's death, his daughters have gradually passed away, leaving only three princesses alive.
Among them, only Princess Chengyang remained in the capital.
This surviving princess was extremely favored by her brother Li Zhi, and the area of her princess mansion was almost the same as that of Princess Taiping.
Unlike Princess Taiping who liked talented people, Princess Chengyang also had a hobby and was extremely interested in all kinds of things about gods and ghosts.
When Li Yunxian became famous, she invited Li Yunxian to come to her house.
There were even rumors that she had an unusual relationship with Zen Master Farang of Qinglong Temple, but because she and her consort Xue Guan had always been loving and harmonious, the rumors were quickly put to rest.
For the people in Chang'an City, these two princesses were the only ones they were familiar with.
However, most people don't know that there is a small princess mansion in the south area of the city, and a princess also lives in it.
Her name is Princess Honghua.
Princess Honghua was the first marriage princess in the Tang Dynasty.
She was originally the daughter of Li Daoming, King of Huai'an. She was selected by Li Shimin, named Princess Honghua, and married to Murong Nuohebo, the king of Tuyuhun.
A few years ago, Princess Honghua and her wife were defeated by the Tubo people and lost their country. They had to flee to Liangzhou and later moved to Chang'an City, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to help them regain Tuyuhun.
At that time, the strategic focus of the Tang Dynasty was the Kingdom of Koryo, so the couple had no choice but to live in Chang'an, hoping that after the Tang Dynasty defeated Koryo, it would send troops to help them restore the country.
After only one year of living in Chang'an, King Tuyuhun fell ill with a strange disease and became bedridden and unable to even speak.
While taking care of her husband, Princess Honghua sent her two sons to King Li Xian of England and King Li Dan of Yin, hoping that when the two kings came to power in the future, they could help them speak in the court.
On this day, Princess Honghua was taking care of her husband in the bedroom.
Suddenly, the maid came to report that the two young masters were back. She was about to get up and take a look, but the two brothers Murong had already arrived in the dormitory.
"Mother, we have just received news that the imperial court has ended the Liaodong War and the army will return soon. Our opportunity has finally come."
Murong Zhong said hurriedly as soon as he entered the room.
Princess Honghua said happily: "Really? That's great."
Compared to his brother, Murong Xuan was much calmer and said slowly:
"Mother and brother, don't be too happy. The imperial court has just fought a war. Even if it starts fighting again, it won't happen so soon."
Murong Zhong narrowed his eyes and said: "I understand this, but if the Tibetan army of 200,000 people occupies Bathuan City, it is still possible for them to start a fight."
Murong Xuan shook his head and said: "Brother, have you forgotten the nature of the Tubo people? If the Tang army really marches into the four towns of Anxi, they will definitely retreat."
"Yes, what should we do? Do we have to wait any longer?" Murong Zhong frowned.
Murong Xuan muttered: "Both the King of Ying and the King of Yin are currently speechless in the court. If we really want to promote this war, we will have to find someone else to find a way."
"Xuan'er, who do you mean by the other people?" Princess Honghua asked.
Murong Xuan said: "Even if we come to visit other dignitaries in the court, I'm afraid they won't pay attention. Mother, now I can only rely on your connections."
Princess Honghua smiled bitterly and said: "After so many years, the relationship between me and those clan members has long faded, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help."
"Mother, have you forgotten? Didn't Princess Taiping send gifts to our house during the Chinese New Year? Why didn't you go find her!"
Princess Honghua was stunned and said: "Taiping's riding skills were taught by me, and I can indeed say a few words in front of her, but she is a little girl after all. Shouldn't we let her beg Her Highness the Queen?"
Murong Xuan said seriously:
"My mother has not been out of the palace for a long time, so she may not be aware of the outside situation. Although Princess Taiping is young, she is extremely powerful in the court. Many officials in the court are recommended by her to serve, and she has a very close relationship with Prince Changping.
.”
"Who is the Prince of Changping County?" Princess Honghua asked curiously.
"That is Zhou Guogong Wu Chengsi. After returning from the great victory in Liaodong, he will soon be named the Prince of Changping County."
Murong Zhong's eyes were shining and he said:
"Since the Liaodong War, Wu Chengsi has been extremely powerful in the court. He can almost rival the crown prince and King Pei. He is also quite influential in the army. If he can be spoken to, the court may be able to start a war with Tibet as soon as possible.
!”
Princess Honghua pondered for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I will give up my dignity tomorrow and go ask that girl Taiping for help."
"Thank you for your hard work, mother." The Murong brothers all bowed.
