Wu Meiniang whispered softly: "... If this goes on, I feel a little ashamed of my husband. It is rare to meet someone he likes. As the Queen of Good Deeds, it is impossible to marry into the mansion and make trouble, so why not be beautiful as an adult? Besides,
Speaking of which, it’s so hard for your husband to be on his way to the west, living in the wind and snow with swords and swords shining. What if something happens to Queen Seon Deok? How sad will it be when your husband comes back to Beijing? We women can’t just care about it.
For your own preferences, you should also think more about your own man."
It's not that she isn't "jealous", it's a woman's nature to be "jealous". No matter how suppressed and hidden, there will always be some. However, she has always been generous, as long as it does not affect her status in the house and Fang Jun's mind,
He wouldn't do such cruel things.
Princess Gaoyang is a noble lady, and she cannot be shaken no matter what. Xiao Shuer is virtuous, gentle, and a lady from a well-known family. Her personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. However, she has stayed true to her duties since entering the palace and never interfered with the details inside and outside the palace.
Affairs, well-behaved and sensible.
The two of them had no essential conflict with her, so they were naturally happy to talk to each other, and the family home was peaceful.
As for Queen Seondeok, or her own sister Wu Shunniang, they are just a taste of men who are lustful and lustful. They can neither marry back to the palace nor compete with her, so why do they do those evil things to make people angry and eventually lead to Lang Lang?
Are you disloyal to yourself?
Princess Gaoyang has always been grand, perhaps because she was born in a noble family, and she 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 family, even though Fang Jun was there
This approach is exemplary and there is absolutely nothing to criticize about it.
But facing Queen Seondeok, looking at her elegant and luxurious temperament, her graceful and charming appearance, and her identity as the Queen of Silla, she felt a little dissatisfied.
However, after listening to Wu Meiniang's words at this moment, she felt deeply convinced, nodded, and changed the topic: "I was distracted and forgot about the real thing."
Wu Meiniang asked curiously: "What's the serious matter?"
Princess Gao Yang smiled and said: "Of course I will put on the armor and the sword, and accompany me here to control the army! What, is it possible that I will personally change your clothes, Madam Wu?"
…
Her Royal Highness the Princess is wearing armor and sitting in the middle hall with a heroic appearance. Although it is a bit playful, in the eyes of the soldiers and servants in the mansion, it undoubtedly adds reassurance, and she becomes more and more determined to defend the mansion from the rebels and thieves.
Vigorous.

Li Chengqian was in charge of Xingqing Palace, and news from inside and outside the city came flooding in. Ma Zhou summarized and selected it in detail and reported it to him.
When he received the news that Chang Sun Chong had been arrested and Hou Mo and Chen Qian would be placed under house arrest, Li Chengqian let out a long sigh.
He stood up and walked to the side of the wall. He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the map of Chang'an City on the wall. On it was information that Ma Zhou had annotated based on information collected from various sources. There were small black dots in the south, west, and north of the city along the Weishui River.
The flag is affixed to it.
Ma Zhou said: "Each Guanlong family has gathered many private soldiers, slaves, dead soldiers, and even many soldiers who left the army and joined them. The total number is no less than 30,000, scattered in various places outside the city. Each family has outstanding soldiers.
In addition, a large number of people were also found in the mansions of the Guanlong clan in various places in the city. They had obviously planned to spend a lot of time sneaking into the city. Everyone inside and outside the city was ready, waiting for the order.
Come on, 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 there are already several small black flags around Chang'an, the Guanlong forces represented by them have gathered and moved towards Chang'an, but since the "Baiqisi" broke into the Zhao Guogong Mansion, these small black flags have stopped and even started in two places.
Slowly retreating, apparently retreating after receiving news from Chang'an City.
Everything needs a leader, who can point out the direction decisively and decisively, and only then can he risk his own life and live towards death. Nowadays, the Guanlongmen clan is leaderless, and there is still suspicion between each family. It is no longer the same as when they entered the Zhou Dynasty from the Wei Dynasty and abandoned the Zhou Dynasty to establish the Sui Dynasty.
, even as close as the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
Cohesion can make everyone work together to seize power, but power in turn corrodes cohesion. When people have nothing, they are most impassioned and look forward to death. They can dedicate everything they have to their comrades, putting justice first and profit second.
It’s easy to give up the ego and fulfill the greater self.
However, the greater the interests, the greater the differences. This is the human heart.
Without Chang Sun Chong to connect with him, and without Hou Mo and Chen Qian to raise his arms, the powerful Guanlong clan would be just a bunch of scattered sand, coveting the interests but fearing each other, lest they charge forward only to be stabbed in the back by their companions.
After fighting so hard that the ground was covered with blood, I finally made the wedding dress...
"Ma Fuyin thinks, can Guan Long's plan go ahead this time?"
Li Chengqian relaxed and took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him, then asked with a smile.
The news of the father's death was tightly sealed, and no one dared to reveal it at this time, not even the Guanlong clan. Otherwise, the mutiny they planned would not be a "military remonstrance", but a rebellion. As long as the current crisis can be solved,
We resisted until Li Ji led hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops back to Guanzhong, and the overall situation was decided.
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 Duke Zhao?"
Not only Li Chengqian? Li Jing, Xiao Yu and others also unanimously excluded Changsun Wuji from danger...
Li Chengqian put down his tea cup, walked behind the desk and sat down, and said calmly: "It's not that I ignored Duke Zhao, but that Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong. It's the severe winter at this time, and the road is dangerous. No matter how easy it is to drive, I won't be able to return in less than two months."
Arrive at Chang'an. Duke Guo of Zhao is already old and has been pampered in these years. How can he withstand such a long journey of thousands of miles? If he is in a hurry, his body will not be able to bear it. "
If you rush on the road step by step, you may have to wait until the New Year to return. If you rush hard, how can your old bones withstand the torment? Most likely you will be dying when you return to Chang'an. How can you still have the energy to take charge of the overall situation...
Ma Zhou still couldn't let go and reminded: "Although the navy is in the hands of Su Dingfang, the Changsun family has a lot of cooperation with the Jiangnan nobles, whether it is maritime trade or trade between the north and the south. There are many boats in the caravan. If there is a sea
The ship braved the north wind and severe cold to go out to sea to meet the needs, which will definitely shorten the journey time and provide a good rest."
Nowadays, heavy snow has closed the mountains in Liaodong, and the road to the north of Yanshan is blocked. To return to Guanzhong, we can only go south from Youying Erzhou and follow the low seaside passage through Yuguan into Hebei, and then go west. This section of the road happens to make a big turn around the Bohai Sea.
Bay, the journey is nearly a thousand miles. If you board a ship from the mouth of the river in Gaimou City or Mogouying and other places and directly arrive at Lulong in the south of Yuguan, it will not only shorten the journey, but also save more than ten days.
Not to mention the ice sealing the sea, the navy could break through the sea ice and transport the baggage ordnance to Pingrang City. How could Changsun Wuji be unable to board the sea ship?
The power of the Changsun family is enough to accomplish this.
Ma Zhou added: "Moreover, I have heard that in the Lingnan area, there are Shanyue people who are good at raising flying pigeons and can drive them to deliver letters as far as thousands of miles away."
If Changsun Wuji arrived in Lulong by sea ship, there would have been people from the Changsun family in Lulong who would have brought this kind of homing pigeon to help him, and they would have quickly conveyed Changsun Wuji's orders to Chang'an in this way, even if he had not yet returned to Chang'an.
Guanzhong, but can also secretly preside over the overall situation.
Li Chengqian was horrified: "Is there such a way to send messages?"
Flying pigeons can actually fly thousands of miles to send messages? It is simply unbelievable. How can a mere bird know the way home across thousands of miles?
Ma Zhou solemnly said: "It's absolutely true!"
It is said that this method of flying pigeons to send messages is only used by Shanyue people in the deep mountains of Lingnan. The local mountains are crisscrossed and the roads are difficult to travel. If someone goes out once and something happens on the way, it is difficult to get home in time. At this time, you only need to carry a cage of pigeons and write the message on the
Tie it on the pigeon's leg and let it fly. The pigeon is a natural lover and has the talent of knowing the way, so it flies home and transmits the message back.
Although Changsun Wuji may not be aware of this method of transmitting messages, he can only worry about what if...what if Changsun Wuji happens to know about it? In the current precarious situation, he cannot bear the slightest risk.
Li Chengqian was immediately frightened and said: "I am sending an order to the troops in the city. They must not take it lightly!"
However, before he could give the order, a servant trotted in from outside and said in panic: "Your Highness, something bad has happened. The soldiers of the Hou Mochen family have entered the city from the city gate!"
"What?!"
Li Chengqian stood up suddenly and exclaimed in disbelief. As expected, Ma Zhou was right. If no one had secretly organized and dispatched troops, how could the Guanlong clan react so quickly and even enter the city brazenly? But now he has
The only person with such prestige and ability is Changsun Wuji.
Just now, I had secretly rejoiced, thinking that Chang Sun Chong had been arrested, Hou Mo and Chen Qian would be put under house arrest, the Guanlong clan was leaderless, and the crisis was almost eliminated, but unexpectedly, in just a moment, the situation took a turn for the worse.
