Chapter 715: The night is as cold as water
Before Qin Jin left Chang'an, he met Li Heng for the last time. () This originally ambitious Tang Dynasty emperor is now in such a miserable situation, it is really embarrassing, but he still has to hide it from Li Heng like everyone else, and he can't confide in the tone of leading troops to the battle. In this way, the whole process of the audience is like coaxing a child, trying his best to coax a son of heaven, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely absurd. However, Qin Jin couldn't laugh, and he was even faintly worried about Li Heng's safety in the future. Among the lions, the lion king who has lost his fangs and claws will be replaced by other male lions sooner or later, and Li Heng is afraid that it will be difficult to avoid it.
Late at night, Chang'an City came in to prohibit the lights, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, only on the Que Tower not far away, the wind lanterns were swaying left and right.
That is Xingqing Palace, and now that Li Heng is seriously ill, maybe the old son of heaven is unwilling to be lonely in his heart and ready to move again.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Jin's mouth.
Just now, he had already discussed with Prime Minister Cui Lian, because the king of Guangping had a broken leg and it was difficult to lead his division to the battle, so not only the king of Guangping, but even the left guard army should not go out at this time.
The Left Guard Army could not go out to fight, and the only thing to choose was the Jiannan Army and the Shence Army.
Cui Jian and Qin Jin both tacitly agreed, and coincidentally chose to see the army with Zhang Qing as the envoy. It is conceivable that Empress Zhang will be furious after learning of these decisions. But she didn't have a choice, and now the few people who could make a decision were on the side of King Guangping, even if Empress Zhang was dissatisfied and angry, she could only pinch her nose and admit the result.
"Doctor, why don't you go back to the house?"
In front of it was Yongjiafang, and an attendant couldn't help but ask. Qin Jin refused the proposal without thinking about it.
"Don't go, hurry up and go back to the city to respond, and the whole army will be mobilized at sunrise!"
Although not everyone agrees with Qin and Jin in the current Chang'an government and the opposition, it is unanimously recognized that he is a person who does not care about public affairs and selfishness!
In fact, where is Qin Jin willing to do his public and selfish affairs? It's just that in that so-called mansion, there is no one who can worry about him, and when he returns there, he sees either a male servant or a female maidservant, so it is better to deal with more military affairs in the barracks. It is precisely because of this that the officers and men in the army are impressed and respected by Qin and Jindu.
Qin Jin's words are a law in the army, and there is no room for any doubt! Since he has already said that he will leave the city as soon as possible, his entourage will no longer be noisy, and his legs will secretly clamp the horse's belly to keep up with Qin Jin's horse speed.
At dawn the next day, the army drove out of the North Forbidden Garden barracks, and under the rising sun, the six big characters on the banner of "Heluo Recruiting Qin" were radiant. There was no general pledge meeting in the past, and there were no hundreds of officials and people to send each other off, everything was moving in a low-key manner.
Yang Xingben rode on Qin Jin's side, and at this moment he didn't expect it, but who would have thought that the world was so impermanent, it seemed that Fang Xuan, who had a good chance of winning all the way, was defeated, and his life and death were unknown. Then, it's the turn of the Shenwu Army to appear. Who is not thrilled by the immortal feats of recovering Luoyang? Yang Xingben forcibly suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and tried his best to maintain a consistent coldness on his face.
"Doctor. Let's go first, what if Zhang Qing refuses to obey?"
Yang Xingben's worries are not unnecessary, after the Son of Heaven Li Heng suffered a stroke, Empress Zhang's sister and brother thought that the time had come to glorify the lintel, how could they be easily at the mercy of others?
Qin Jin's face still showed a cold smile.
"If he doesn't come, the position of the soldier will be changed!"
In this regard, Yang Xingben was a little unimpressed.
"Empress Zhang is willing to change?"
Qin Jin still sneered, but didn't say a word more. Yang Xing wanted to speak, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Qin Jin.
"Hurry up the march day and night, and arrive at Tongguan at this time tomorrow! Say a few words, keep your strength and hurry......
The sunrise is only an hour, the sun has been like a big furnace scorching the earth, Chang'an to Tongguan straight official road, the water in the soil has been completely evaporated, all turned into dust, countless horses' hooves stepped on, raised an endless yellow dragon.
……
"The one surnamed Qin is gone?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, the Shenwu Army will be pulled out early this morning, and Doctor Qin must have left with him!"
"Doctor Shi? Three years ago, he was just a lowly little official, and he was fortunate to get in because of the favor of the Son of Heaven, but look at what he has done? To put it bluntly, it is the bane of my Datang!"
Empress Zhang kept counting her breath, and the eunuchs and palace maids next to her could hear her gritting her teeth.
"Where's Zhang Qing, why haven't you come yet?"
"Slave, slave doesn't know ......"
"Don't you ask, now recruit him into the palace, seeing that the fire is about to burn into the house, and you are so unhurried, do you want to wait for those subordinates and servants to ride on their heads and and pee?"
Somehow, the more Empress Zhang spoke, the more excited she became, and even her words began to become vulgar.
About half an hour later, Zhang Qing staggered into the Taiji Palace. Empress Zhang hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and a strong smell of wine made her want to sick to her stomach.
"You don't want to be angry! My sister and a maid are dealing with those important ministers and military generals all day long, and you know how to drink and have fun! Don't you understand what the current situation of you and my sister and brother is? If you don't advance, you will retreat!"
Empress Zhang's anger that had just been extinguished gradually surged up again.
"There is still a way out of the boat in the water, what is behind you and my sister and brother? ”
She raised her well-maintained hand and pointed at her younger brother Zhang Qing.
"Are you blind, can't see the abyss behind you, or are you bold enough to be fearless?"
"Sister, although my brother is bold, he can still tell the ......"
"You are ignorant and fearless! Qin Jin calculates against you and my brother and sister, do you really want to take the Jiannan Army to fight the thieves and rebels outside the pass?"
Zhang Qing seemed to have lost his temper after being counted, so he retorted:
"What's the point of going? If you make immortal achievements, my younger brother can also hang up to Lingyan Pavilion and become famous for future generations! I don't know how many times better it is than being my sister's response bucket!"
"You!"
The air in the hall was tense and almost solidified, and the people in the eunuch palace were all frightened and lowered their heads, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, for fear of being angered by the angry Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang never imagined that her younger brother, who had always been obedient and cautious, would be so abnormal today, and even said such childish and ridiculous things!
But Queen Zhang couldn't laugh anyway, the person in front of her was her brother, and she, as a sister, thought about everything for her sake on weekdays, and spared no effort to pave the way for being an official, but in the end, she got back this result. Large tears rolled down his red eyes.
At this time, Zhang Qing saw that her sister, who had always been strong, was crying so sadly, and most of the alcohol disappeared immediately.
"Sister, sister, don't be sad, my brother was just now, it's all drunk nonsense, it can't be taken seriously, it can't be taken seriously!"
Empress Zhang wiped a handful of tears and sneered:
"Drinking and spitting the truth, is it easy to be a sister?"
There was silence in the hall for a while before Empress Zhang spoke again.
"Cui Lian, Li Fuguo, and Qin Jin all named the Jiannan Army to go out of the customs and cover the rear wing of the Shenwu Army, and my sister can't refuse!"
……
A four-horse carriage drove out of the Taiji Palace from the Yanxi Gate, and the carriage neither picked out the flags nor opened the road with the carriage, so no one even looked at such an ordinary carriage.
"Why does the princess want to lower her value? Except for Qin Jin, there is no man in the world who is worthy of the princess?"
Mei Xi's voice was indignant, and she chattered endlessly about Qin Jin's various wrongs. Aunt Nan's temperament has always been gentle and steady, and she persuaded:
"Doctor Qin has the world in his heart, how can he be bound to the private feelings of Qingqing and my children? Only this kind of big hero is truly worthy of the princess. ”
"If I am a princess, I would rather find a man who is only good to me in my life, so that it is not uncommon for a big hero to ......"
Seeing the ridiculousness she said, Aunt Nan just shook her head and smiled, and didn't argue with her.
Mei Xi felt that the princess and Aunt Nan didn't think much of her words, and she couldn't speak clearly for a while, so she almost cried in a hurry.
Where did the insect girl have the heart to argue with Mei Xi about what is a good man in the world, the curtain of the carriage flickered with the ups and downs of the carriage, her eyes were aimed at the looming outside of the car, and her mind had already flown to a hundred miles away. I don't know where he has been, is the road hard, will he be thirsty, will he eat in time?
Speaking of which, even the insect girl felt strange, some details that she had never cared about at all on weekdays, but at this moment, she jumped out of her head, worried about this, worried about that, as if she always had a dozen buckets in her heart, seven up and down.
While he was thinking about it, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Princess, Yongjiafang has arrived!"
The voice of the driver was heard outside the car.
Mei Xi and Aunt Nan helped the princess get out of the car, and the front of the Qin Mansion was deserted, only the gray-haired old man stood outside the door with a child.
"The old slave welcomes the princess into the house!"
The insect lady knew that the Qin Mansion was all controlled by this gray-haired old man, and his status was no better than that of ordinary slaves, so she returned the salute slightly.
"The old man doesn't have to be polite, from today on, I will be Dr. Qin's wife......"
Worm Niang's eyes were filled with tears, as early as the first time she met Qin Jin, she decided that he would not marry in this life. Even if there is no wedding, so what? The children of the Li family have never been confined to secular and false etiquette, and from today onwards, she will officially move in and become the housewife of the Qin Mansion. Then he waited day and night in the house, waiting for his triumphant return......
To this day, the insect girl can't die on the same horse with Qin Jin, the feeling when she is lying on his back, although she is trapped in the thousands of thieves, as long as she has broad arms, she will feel extremely safe.
