The so-called palace is actually the backyard of the original official mansion.
In the front is the office and meeting place of the small court, and in the back is the harem of Changling.
This place can't even compare to the mansions of Ningxing's rich and powerful, but since Daliao is gone, everyone is a little lucky to have escaped death, so they don't care about it.
Wang Ju didn't know whether he was deliberately comforting everyone, or he really thought so, and said: "Is Ningxing big? Are the imperial city and palace big? Yes! But when the place is big, people's hearts will disperse."
He stood in the "Chaotang", pointed to the not-so-high beams and said, "The place is a little smaller, but everyone is getting closer." The bigger the home, the more scattered people are.
The bigger the heart is, the more scattered the heart will be.
These powerful people will not understand this truth, that is, only the old people who have grown old and have seen through the glory and wealth can understand it. This is the case with Wang Ju.
But privately he said to Changling: "I am old, so I have such thoughts. But young people should not be like this. They should be proactive and work hard."
This is true. If young people understand these principles, they will lose the motivation to forge ahead. If young people lose motivation, Daliao will have no hope.
Changling would never have understood these principles before.
After the death of the little emperor, not everyone in the clan murmured, saying that since the emperor is gone, one of us should be chosen to succeed him. A country cannot live without a king for a day!
Changling didn't say a word, but ordered the money and food to be stopped from the clan members who complained the most.
Nowadays, no one is mumbling about this matter, but some people are wondering whether A Guang can succeed to the throne. As soon as he said this, everyone was confused.
"...They say that Xiaolangjun is the grandson of the filial emperor and the son of King Qin. If he ascends the throne, then who will be the Liao?"
Zhan Juan covered her mouth and snickered, "There are still a few old ministers who are in tears, saying that even if the Liao Dynasty is destroyed, the bloodline cannot be messed up. If the young man is allowed to ascend the throne, they will run into death outside the palace gate."
Changling stood up without comment and said, "Change clothes." She was going to go to the Wang family to celebrate the king's birthday.
She changed into an elegant dress and suddenly thought of the little emperor. That child had been gone for a long time!
A feeling of impermanence in life made Changling feel a little sad. "Aniang!"
He Lianguang was brought by the maid. After seeing her, he stood still and looked at her blankly.
"Why, you can't recognize him?" Changling said with a smile.
The mother and son laughed for a while, and Changling slowly led the child out of the palace. When they reached the dividing line between the "harem" and the "front palace", there was a door. The door was a wooden door, which could accommodate two people entering and exiting side by side.
Changling walked out and looked back one more time.
"Those old ministers, just want to be killed here?" The two got on the carriage and drove slowly along.
With the influx of a large number of people, Zan City has become much more lively than before.
When those powerful people moved with them, the most they brought with them was money. A huge amount of money poured into this small town, and various businesses exploded soon after.
There are so many wine shops, restaurants, and brothels that it’s a headache.
The ministers in charge of night inspections reported many times that they often caught those powerful men who drank too much and got into fights at night, but it was difficult to deal with them. If they were not dealt with, they would attract ridicule from the people.
Think about it, the noble people hugging each other, rolling on the ground, yelling, and fighting... are no different from the villains in the city. The image is completely lost!
The noble people have a sense of superiority called 'I am a god, ordinary people are just ants and idiots'.
In order to maintain this sense of superiority, they will appear extra majestic and extraordinary in front of the ants. When this majesty and extraordinaryness are broken, the people suddenly realize.
You idiot, what bullshit majesty, it turns out these noble people are even worse than us!
A nobleman who has lost his majesty is like a monk in the golden elixir stage, whose realm has dropped to at least the foundation construction stage. Changling remains unattended.
She knew the pain and despair of these powerful people who once had power in Ningxing.
Xijiang is just that big, Zancheng is just that big
It is so big, there are only so many official positions, and most of the powerful people are doing nothing and living in vain. Panic, despair, anger... these emotions combined, can only be relieved by indulging in sex.
Wang Ju said that if they continue to eat, drink and have fun, these powerful people will either become paupers or die early. That's fine!
Changling thinks this is not a bad thing.
The carriage rumbled, and as soon as the rider arrived beside the carriage, it was the Eagle Guard.
After He Lianhong committed suicide, Changling immediately purged the Eagle Guard. He Lianhong's confidants were taken down, and the original structure was broken up. The remaining people followed to Zancheng.
"Princess, the cavalry was found outside the city."
Changling in the carriage frowned, "How many people are there?"
"Our experts approached quietly and found more than ten thousand people." The first sentence is an expression of merit, and the second sentence is of great value. "I understand."
When subordinates show their merits, the superiors should not praise them too much, which would appear to be frivolous.
After the Eagle Guard left in disappointment, Changling ordered: "I will reward the Eagle Guard later." "Yes!"
The civil servant outside the carriage recorded it.
Helian Guang was lowering his head and playing with the wooden nine-link ring... This was sent to him by his father. Suddenly he raised his head and asked: "Mom, you want to kill someone." This child...
·Chang Ling touched the top of his head and said, "No one killed anyone."
"oh!"
Changling looked at the child with a headache, thinking that if he knew this at just a few years old, what would happen when he grows up? At this time, Li Xuan's words came to his mind.
-Children cannot lack their father's love and guidance.
There is no doubt that Changling loves her son deeply, but in terms of education, she also found her own shortcomings as a mother. Do she really want to send her child to Datang?
She wasn't worried about what the man would do to the child, or hold the child captive. She was just a little uneasy. An uneasiness about losing something important.
"The eldest princess."
Outside, Zhan Juan said, "We're here."
The car curtain opened, Changling got out of the car, and then turned around to take the child down. She turned around with the child in hand, and Wang Ju and other officials happened to hear the news and came out to greet her. "I have met the eldest princess.
"I've met Xiao Langjun."
Some people suggested that He Lianguang should be given a title, not a king! At least he should be given a title of Duke. But Changling suppressed the matter.
She doesn't think that being knighted will make her children better. On the contrary, she feels that being knighted at this moment is a bit like being crowned. Why bother!
Even though he became the remaining ruler of Daliao, Wen Qing's aura was still engraved in the bone marrow of Changling. A group of people went in.
"Your Majesty, go away."
Changling ordered: "Xiao Hua, He Yanguang stays." "Yes!"
Wang Ju was the birthday boy and had many things to do, so he resigned.
Several men looked at Changling one more time, and after going out, they were warned: "Don't have sweet dreams, lest you lose your head one day."
Several men were blushing, and one said, "What's wrong with me?"
The old man who gave the warning said: "It's true that you admire the eldest princess, but who is the eldest princess? How can you not see it?" Several men hesitated.
"What kind of man is the eldest princess? The youngest son who respects the emperor, the king of the north, is now leading the army south to suppress the rebellion. If it succeeds, he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. How can she like you if she has such a man?
Wait? Stop dreaming."
Changling naturally knew the meaning in the eyes of these men. In the past, she would have been angry and scolded her, but now she just smiled faintly. Xiao Hua saw that his hair had turned a lot whiter, and Changling said: "Privy Councilors should take care of themselves."
"I know." Xiao Hua said with a smile: "I am used to doing things. If I have nothing to do, I will feel uncomfortable." Changling smiled, she did not have this trouble. If nothing happened, she would sort out her book collection. "Just now Yingcai
The guards came to report that more than 10,000 troops were found in the west of Zan City."
Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows, "Yasude!"
"Only Yasude can pull out this kind of troops." He Yanguang said with a cruel smile: "Eldest Princess, please order me to attack." Changling now has 20,000 troops, and these troops are much stronger than Yasude's men.
but lose one
Just one less!
"He must want to make a surprise attack. After the Privy Council's repairs, the city of Zan is no longer what it used to be, and the soldiers are quite vigilant. If he attacks by force, he will be asking for trouble. In this case, what is Massoud relying on?"
Changling's beautiful eyebrows moved slightly, "There must be an internal agent from Yasu De in the city." "This person must be able to control the city gate!" Xiao Hua said.
"And just today!" He Yanguang added.
One of these two people was a former privy envoy of Daliao, and the other was a former general. When used in such a place, it seems that they are overqualified and underused.
Changling said: "I have said many times that Daliao is gone, and we came to Zan City just to live in peace. But there are still some people who are restless. It seems that I was too kind in the past."
Xiao Hua agreed with this, "Eldest Princess, I have long said that when people's hearts fluctuate, they should use thunderbolt measures. Kill a group of people, copy a group of people, and then appease them."
This means hitting him with a stick and giving him a date.
Changling said noncommittally: "I don't know which city gate I should be able to control, but Yasud's army is in the west, mainly staring at the west gate. In addition, the Eagle Guards will also keep an eye on them. Once activated, they will
Report."
She looked at Xiao Hua and He Yanguang, "Since those idiots are coming, then stay!" "Yes!"
"The eldest princess went to the Wang family!"
Yelu Xinwei, who was drinking, got the news and threw his glass away. "The opportunity has come. Let someone tell Yasud that it's time to start." "Yes!"
Yelu Xinwei walked out, looked outside, and suddenly smiled and said: "It's a good time for weddings and weddings."
Yelu Xinwei's envoy quietly left the city and headed west.
After finding Yasud's army, the envoy said: "The eldest princess and many ministers have gone to the Wang family." "Okay!"
Yasud looked at the sky and said, "The banquet should be at noon!"
"Yes." The messenger said, "The garrison at the top of the city will also rotate at noon. The ones replaced by the west gate are our people." "There are a lot of them!"
Yasud turned around and looked at his subordinates, "Get ready to attack!"--
"how?"
The envoy came back, and Yelu Xinwei asked impatiently. "Yasud is ready to attack," the envoy said.
"That idiot is still thinking about getting the eldest princess." Yelu Xinwei sneered: "After he seizes the city gate, he will go to warn him immediately. In this way, although the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties, they can still resist stubbornly.
.”
When both sides suffer, this is his chance.
Changling was at Wang's house. The banquet had just begun. She was sitting with her children, accompanied by some ladies. An Eagle Guard came in and whispered: "They have started."
"There are always some people who think that their wisdom can make them fishermen." Changling said calmly: "It doesn't matter life or death!" "Yes!"
Changling raised his head and saw that the ladies were a little uneasy, so he raised his glass to invite them to drink.
The Simon rotation has begun.
The original defenders walked down the city with their hands and feet.
The rotating generals smiled and joked with the rotating generals, watched them go down, turned around and said: "Get ready!" On the second floor of a restaurant more than a hundred steps away from the city, Xiao Hua looked at the generals coldly, "Get ready!"
Everything is ready.
Half an hour later, I heard the faint sound of horse hooves. "Hundreds of horses!"
Xiao Hua just listened and judged the number of people.
But then he listened again.
Everyone held their breath.
Xiao Hua narrowed his eyes, "Behind...the thunderous sound of horse hooves, not to mention thousands of horses." He raised his head suddenly, "Do it!" More than a thousand soldiers suddenly rushed out of the city, and they rushed to the top of the city.
General Ximen smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
The leading general said with a ferocious smile: "The eldest princess has already understood your plan, you thief, you will die!" A wave of arrows passed by, and then they charged and killed.
In the distance, Yasud saw the fighting at the top of the city and said dissatisfied: "Yeluxinwei's launch was a little late." His men had already arrived at the bottom of the city.
The defenders inside the city gate
With a shout, he turned around and ran away. Hundreds of horsemen rushed into the city.
In the distance of the long street, a mass of cavalry was galloping towards this direction.
On the top of the city, there was a crowd of archers, pointing their bows and arrows at them, waiting for the military order. "Fire the arrows!"
With a sharp shout, arrows rained down.
Hundreds of riders turned into hedgehogs in an instant.
However, Yasude was at a loss and was looking forward to sleeping with the eldest princess with a flushed face. "Hurry!"
He urged his men.
They quickly approached the city. At this time, the defenders at the top of the city suddenly drew their bows and drew arrows. "No!" someone exclaimed.
"Fire the arrow!"
Along with the rain of arrows, cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city. "Kill!"
Yasud, who fully thought he could raid Zan City, was surprised. He shouted in panic: "Come in, rush into the city!"
If he leads his troops to evacuate at this moment, they will definitely be chased and killed one after another.
Now the only option is to risk everything and fight to the death with the defenders. But why were the defenders so prepared?
Just when Yasud led his troops to counterattack, two groups of cavalry suddenly sprang out from both sides of Zan City. Caught off guard, Yasud's men were defeated.
As soon as he rode out of the city, he ordered: "The eldest princess ordered all the evildoers to be eradicated!" "Pursue!" He Yanguang, in a rare moment of high spirits, led his army in pursuit.··
Yelu Xinwei led more than a hundred of his men together and marched toward Wang's house. Various noises could be heard in the direction of the west gate, and he judged that they were fighting.
Walking to the door of Wang's house, Yelu Xinwei shouted: "Kill in!"
His people have already gone to the military camp to warn him. If he can control Changling and a group of important officials here, the matter will be settled. The door will be opened.
A group of people surrounded Changling and came out. Then, soldiers poured in from both sides of the street.
Yelu Xinwei looked at the indifferent eldest princess, his knees softened, and he knelt down. "Eldest princess, spare your life!"
