Changling dismounted and asked, "How can we let the princes and princes greet us?"
"It should be."
After exchanging a few words, Wang Ju said: "Princess, the situation is not good."
"Shegu people?"
Changling felt much better after traveling around the mountains and rivers.
"Yes, the secret spy reported that the Shegu people collected prisoners with great fanfare. The partial division sent by the Central Government to sneak attack was ambushed, and almost the entire army was wiped out... When the news came, Ning Xing was shocked. Your Majesty..."
Wang Ju looked solemn, "Your Majesty has a splitting headache, can't sleep at night, and often vomits..."
Changling asked: "Is it serious?"
"The medical officials talked a lot about it and mentioned many possibilities, but they all said it was not serious."
"Nothing serious?"
"Yes, but His Majesty has brought the prince with him recently."
"knew."
The prince was still young, so the emperor took him with him, firstly to prevent others from harming him, and secondly, to teach him personally.
Does this feel inappropriate?
"Chang Ling is back?"
"Yes!" In the palace, the emperor was sitting behind the desk, with the prince beside him.
Compared with the meat mountain next to him, the prince looks extremely small.
He glanced at Helian Hong, who had long hair reaching his waist, and heard his father's voice in his ears.
"She has been enjoying her travels in a leisurely way. After learning about the changes in the Shegu Department, it's time for her to come to the palace."
The emperor put down his pen and said to the prince: "Don't act in a hurry. Many times, speaking less is also the dignity of the emperor."
The prince agreed.
The emperor suddenly asked: "Am I right? Helian Hong!"
He Lianhong lowered his head. "Your Majesty is wise."
"The Eagle Guard wants to watch everywhere, go ahead!"
The emperor waved his hand and He Lianhong resigned.
She walked slowly in the palace, her long hair a sight to behold.
"I've met the eldest princess."
Changling has entered the palace.
"How is Aunt Hong lately?" Changling said with a smile.
"I'm fine, will the eldest princess gain anything from her trip to the south this time?" He Lianhong looked at Changling with a smile.
"After seeing the battle formation, I thought it was too cruel."
Changling looked calm.
"I heard that the eldest princess met Yang Xuan. I wonder how that person is doing now?" He Lianhong said with a smile.
"It's still the same." "Really?"
"Yeah! Everyone is like that."
"My lord, please retire."
"Aunt Hong, walk slowly."
He Lianhong resigned and crossed Changling to move forward.
Changling turned around and looked at her back.
The cold wind blew, causing Helian's long hair behind his red waist to sway back and forth.
Changling thought of that year.
She was still a girl at that time and envied Helian Hong's long hair, so she wanted to grow her hair longer.
But she was still young at that time!
Hair is prone to breakage and split ends as it grows.
She has always regretted it.
Thinking of this, Changling touched his hair.
To this day, her hair is black and beautiful, and it will never split ends no matter how long it grows.
I've grown up!
When he saw the emperor, Changling frowned, "Your Majesty, how come..."
The emperor looked pale and said with a smile: "Changling is back. I'm fine!"
"I heard that the Shegu people were causing trouble?"
"It's not just a rebellion, the Shegu people are gradually becoming more powerful." The emperor slapped the table, looking a little restless. "Diesi is not enterprising, who is it?"
Changling's acumen made the emperor satisfied and said: "You have guessed it. The third son of Diesi, Asibao, stood out this time. Defeating Sun Hai was his masterpiece. After the subsequent ambush of our army's partial division was successful, he attacked the Shegu tribe
His prestige is at its peak."
"What kind of temperament does this person have?" Changling asked.
"Bold and frivolous."
"He has the temperament to do big things." Changling sat down, "Can't those generals do anything about it?"
"Most of them pat their chests and say that if they lead the army, they will definitely be able to suppress the Shegu tribe, but these people cannot believe it."
The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand to touch his chest,
It looks a little uncomfortable.
Changling sighed: "Although Yang Xuan said good things about the Northern Xinjiang Army, I know that after next spring, the Northern Xinjiang Army who is recuperating will definitely go north."
"I know."
The people in Changling sent their judgment to the emperor in advance. The emperor was quite satisfied with this fact. He felt that no matter how many Changlings there were, at least the overall situation was taken into consideration.
A palace servant brought tea. Changling lowered his head and saw that the tea soup was clear.
The emperor took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, and looked at the god who was getting better. "Next year, if Asibao can still dominate the Shegu tribe, there will be a big problem in the north.
However, the Shegu people were not engaged in farming and had no ability to forge weapons. Even if they captured Zhenbei City, supplies would still be difficult to sustain.
Next year, next year I will send generals to kill these savages. Then, I will gather the army and go south to Changling."
Changling nodded slightly, and the emperor's eyes were gentle, "We can't delay it any longer. As soon as the Shegu tribe is defeated or destroyed, I will force Lin Ya to send troops. I will gather Yongshi under Moxia and join forces to go south. We must break the north.
Territory."
His spirit suddenly became strong, "The entire Tang Dynasty is busy fighting for power and wealth, the emperors are like this, the aristocratic families are like this... everyone only cares about themselves, this country is bound to decline.
According to the judgment of the late emperor and me, if everything remains unchanged, the power of the Tang Dynasty will plummet in five years at most. By then, the Liao Dynasty will easily defeat this old rival.
"I didn't expect him to take charge of Northern Xinjiang." Changling thought of Yang Xuan and reached out to touch his lower abdomen.
"Yes! In my opinion, Yang Xuan's control of Northern Xinjiang is to forcefully extend the life of the Tang Dynasty. This momentum must be interrupted, otherwise we will be in great trouble."
The emperor looked solemn, "She Guren is just the beginning. Changling and Daliao also have many internal problems. The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty annexed land, and the Liao Dynasty also had it. The officials of the Tang Dynasty were corrupt, and the Liao Dynasty also had it. And it's even worse!"
When the civil service was corrupted in the north, political disputes began. Lin Ya and the emperor each took sides. Both sides appointed private individuals instead of talented people... Both sides wanted to grab positions instead of thinking about the people.
born.
The same was true in the Tang Dynasty. The noble families and the emperor were invisible rivals. Both sides competed in the government and the opposition, trying their best to push their own people into the officialdom.
"As long as Northern Xinjiang is defeated, Datang will be like a broken house that can be knocked down with one kick."
The emperor looked at the prince with affection in his eyes, "Prince!"
"Father!"
The prince stood up.
The emperor pointed to Changling and said, "Salute to the eldest princess."
"His Majesty!"
Changling was startled, and the prince stood up and saluted.
"Don't dare do this!"
Changling turned sideways to avoid it.
"You can afford it!" The emperor said with a smile: "My throne is passed down to the late Emperor Qian. The late Emperor only has your daughter. Who can say anything about the beautiful daughter of heaven?"
He patted the prince on the shoulder and said, "I only have one son, Chang Ling. I will teach him more when I have time. I just need to teach him less poetry and poetry. Those things... are poison to the emperor."
This attitude was unbelievably frank. Changling said: "The child is a good child, but he looks a little weak."
The emperor smiled bitterly.
At first he was jealous of the late emperor and had to endure all kinds of hardships to have this child. In order to keep the child, he even entrusted his wife and children to his aides.
In those years, the prince, mother and son lived like quails, worrying all day about the coming thunder of Ningxing.
Although the child was still young at that time, many things were destined... As he grew older, the prince's temperament became a bit weak.
After He Lianchun became the crown prince, he still walked on thin ice until he ascended the throne, struggling to support himself under Lin Ya's suppression.
In such an environment, the prince's temperament gradually changed.
Changling sighed, "Teach me well!"
"I'm teaching."
The emperor took the little prince with him, hoping that he would grow up overnight.
Changling looked at the emperor carefully and said, "Your Majesty, take care."
This sentence seemed to have dispelled the previous discord between the two. The emperor smiled and said: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I often lose my temper... Who doesn't get angry when I can't sleep well? Besides, my gastrointestinal condition has not been good recently, and I often lose my temper.
Vomiting. But the good thing is that I'm a little thinner."
He patted his belly, and suddenly he felt overwhelmed.
Changling smiled and said, "It would be better to see the medical officer more often."
"I know."
The two chatted for a while, and Changling resigned.
"Prince, send the eldest princess off on my behalf," the emperor said gently.
"Yes!" The prince stood up and sent Changling outside the palace.
Changling walked for a while and turned around.
The little prince stood outside the palace, trembling in the cold wind, but refused to go in.
Fallen leaves from nowhere floated in the air and slowly fell on the prince's side.
"Your Highness!"
The emperor's confidant Liu Song came, and the prince, mother and son were entrusted in his home.
"Mr. Liu!"
The prince smiled.
The two of them go in.
"Mr. Liu is here. Just in time, I have a problem here."
The emperor rubbed his forehead and looked a little uncomfortable, "Originally, Lin Ya and I were determined to march south, but we didn't expect that the Shegu tribe would suddenly be in trouble. In order to fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the interior. I planned to destroy the Shegu tribe first, and then go south. But Lin Yana
But Bian excused himself, saying that most of his subordinates were in the south and it was difficult to mobilize..."
"Lin Jun's self-reliance caused him heavy losses." Liu Song sat down and said with a smile: "He is just playing hard to get. Could it be that the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, and he could survive alone? I thought that he should suppress it, and in the end
, his family must have gathered together to rub him down in anger."
"Yes, I have a bad temper recently." The emperor smiled bitterly and pointed at the prince, "You have to help the prince."
"Your Majesty is at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you say this?" Liu Song said with a smile.
"Recently, for some reason, I keep dreaming about the late emperor." The emperor sighed, "The late emperor asked me, how is Daliao? I was speechless, and then I woke up."
Liu Song said: "Although the Shegu tribe is in rebellion, this is also an opportunity. Only by completely eliminating the Shegu tribe and having no worries can we calmly plan the southern expedition."
"The southern expedition!" The emperor rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Since Yang Xuan dares to continue marching north, he doesn't take Chang'an into consideration. What puzzles me most at the moment is what exactly he wants to do!" "Rebellion!" Liu Song
Seeing that the prince was listening, he smiled slightly and said, "When he is in such a situation, even if the King of Yue ascends the throne, there will be no way for him to survive. Therefore, I think that he will only have the option of rebellion in the end."
"What about the separatist side in northern Xinjiang?"
"This depends on the national power of Daliao. If Daliao is strong, it will be destroyed sooner or later. If Daliao is weak, then the soldiers and people in northern Xinjiang will not feel the crisis and will resent it."
"In times of crisis, everyone says you are a hero. When the crisis dissipates, heroes turn into traitors!" The emperor smiled and said, "The human heart! It is the most unpredictable!"
"His Majesty……"
The monarch and his ministers smiled and talked.
The prince sat on the edge, holding his chin in his hands and listening.
Look relaxed.
It seems like I have returned to those years in Tanzhou...
There is no wealth.
But warm.
Changling returned to his mansion.
After hearing about the affairs of the mansion first, if there was nothing serious, I went to take a bath.
After coming out, Changling ordered: "Invite a doctor who is good at women's diseases."
"yes!"
Later, the doctor came.
The doctor felt a little uneasy when he saw that the patient was Changling.
"The eldest princess..."
"You need to check your pulse first!"
Changling stretched out his hand.
The doctor checked the pulse for a long time, and his face kept changing color.
"Yeah!" Changling frowned.
The doctor took back his hand and said, "I am old and have no medical skills. Please ask the eldest princess to choose another famous doctor!"
"Say!" Changling retracted his hand and said coldly.
The doctor smiled bitterly, "The eldest princess..."
Zhan Juan sneered, "If you have the ability, give it a try!"
The doctor sighed, "The eldest princess's pulse is like a bead running around on a disk..."
"The menstruation has stopped." Changling said lightly.
The doctor stood up and said, "Congratulations to the eldest princess."
He smiled sadly.
The eldest princess who has no consort is pregnant. This matter... is a scandal if it is revealed.
He, an insider, might be silenced.
Changling looked dazed for a moment and waved his hand.
"Let him stay in the house."
Someone came in and took the doctor to the front yard.
Wang Ju came in and said, "This child..."
"Yang Xuan's." Changling put his hand on his lower abdomen with a calm expression.
"It's not good if it spreads out." Shen Tong also came. "I didn't want to hide this from you." Changling said, "Although I'm indifferent to the world, my father left a message before he left, saying that he had done it.
A mother is a real woman."
The late emperor died on his way back from the Southern Expedition. When he was about to leave, he asked someone to read Changling's letter and he passed away with a smile on his face.
"Of course I can be like those empress dowagers and find a face for myself, but those men will only disgust me."
In the history of the Liao Dynasty, there were several empress dowagers who listened behind the curtain and were very famous. After taking charge of the power, they inevitably had some disadvantages, so they used a few faces to spread the clouds and rain.
"There is no news about this matter outside the government."
"yes!"
The two resigned.
"I'm tired."
Changling came back from a long journey and went to the palace. When he came back, he had to take charge of the affairs, so he was a little tired.
Zhan Juan asked people to make the bed and help Chang Ling sleep.
"Go for it!"
Zhan Juan went out and closed the door behind her back.
The room became dark.
Changling closed his eyes.
Drowsily, she returned to the past.
Half a year before the death of the late emperor, Changling entered the palace and happened to encounter the late emperor vomiting.
At that time, the late emperor looked pale and could not sleep at night...
"Father!"
Changling was panicked. The late emperor smiled and wiped the vomit from the corner of his mouth, "I'm fine!"
Changling kept asking questions.
Just in time the medical officer came.
"Your Majesty has trouble sleeping at night, palpitations, pale complexion, irritability, dizziness and headache, diarrhea, and black stool..."
Then the dream changed.
Moved to today's palace.
The emperor sat there, looking a little thinner.
"I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I often lose my temper... Who doesn't lose his temper if I can't sleep well? Furthermore, my gastrointestinal condition has not been very good recently, and I often have diarrhea and vomiting. However, the good thing is that I have recovered a little bit..."
The emperor didn't think so, but there was more love and care in his eyes when he looked at the prince.
