Chapter 486

The magpie saw that Princess Xuanyang said so indifferently, she was overstimulated in the future, and she cried even more sadly.

"Princess, the slave doesn't want to go to the desert, I heard that the people there are barbaric and uneducated, what can you do if you go there except to suffer every day. Princess Xuanyang was annoyed by the magpie's crying, and couldn't help but say, "If you don't want to go, then your father will tell your father that you want to leave the palace and get married out of the palace, anyway, you are a veteran in the palace, and you serve the palace so well. As soon as she heard Princess Xuanyang say this, she hurriedly said, "Princess, the slave maid doesn't mean this, the slave maid grew up with the princess since childhood, how can she be separated from the princess, the slave maid would rather never marry for the rest of her life and will not leave the princess half a step, if the princess is unlucky, she really wants to go to the desert to kiss, and the slave will follow to protect the princess." Princess Xuanyang looked at the magpie with a serious look and was amused by her, but the magpie said, "Princess, it's all like this, you can still laugh." Princess Xuanyang said, "Magpie, you don't understand, when my father favored the palace in the past, the palace always suffered from gains and losses, and I was afraid that when this kind of favor from my father would suddenly disappear, I was always trembling when I got along with my father, and I didn't dare to make mistakes, but I was actually tired of myself." Today, my father is really angry, but the palace feels a lot more relaxed, in fact, everything in the palace is now in exchange for the life of the concubine. The magpie looked at such a Xuanyang princess, and didn't say anything more, just silently accompanied her.

After the emperor sent away Princess Xuanyang, his heart was also very entangled, Princess Xuanyang helped Cha Cha and Tiance to escape has violated his bottom line, which has far exceeded the extent that he can condone Princess Xuanyang, plus the desert has frequently invaded southward in recent years, and the border war is tight, many soldiers have been fighting at the border for many years and have not returned home, and because of the continuous war in the country, a lot of silver taels have been consumed, so the treasury is empty, and the national strength is not as good as a year, but if you want to completely eliminate the threat of the desert, you can't do it with the existing national strength, so the DPRK and China have already sent the princess and the princess to the desert and the voice of the two countries to be safe。 But several older princesses have already married a few years ago, and the younger princess has not yet reached the marriageable age, so everyone has set their sights on Princess Xuanyang, as we all know, she is the emperor's favorite princess, if she goes to make peace, it will definitely make the desert feel that the Celestial Empire attaches great importance to them and can maintain peace between the two countries, but because the emperor does not agree, the matter of Princess Xuanyang going to the desert and kissing has been shelved. However, now that Princess Xuanyang has done such an outrageous thing, the emperor is now beginning to waver in his heart whether to let Princess Xuanyang go and kiss, but the emperor feels sorry for Princess Xuanyang's dead mother, after all, the desert is not only a harsh climate, perennial wind and sand, and most of the desert people are rough and different from the Central Plains etiquette, once Princess Xuanyang passes, she will inevitably be wronged, so the emperor is very entangled in whether to send Princess Xuanyang and her relatives.

The next morning, Prime Minister Zuo played to the emperor, " Your Majesty, our dynasty has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the war against the desert, although our soldiers are very brave, and loyal to defend the country, but helplessly is a long journey, far to the frontier, and the desert and my Central Plains climate is very different, our soldiers in the bad climate when they have to face the poisonous snake-like treacherous desert barbarians, they are very difficult to resist for a while after the end of the desert, defeated, in one day was defeated dozens of miles of territory, General Wei is even more killed on the battlefield, now the remnants of the soldiers are using the Great Wall as the last defensive line to defend the last barrier of our Celestial Empire, but according to reliable information, our army's grain has been seriously undersupplied, this last defensive line is probably difficult to hold. At this time, it is better to seek peace than to fight again. After listening to the report, the emperor was also worried, although the war ahead was expected, but he did not expect it to be so critical, so the emperor said, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, at this time, the top priority is to seek peace from the desert first, and then ask the desert barbarians to recover the lost land when our army is well rested and recuperating, and then ask the desert barbarians to recover the lost land. When the ministers heard the emperor say this, they all looked like they wanted to say something, and after waiting for a while, the right counselor stepped forward and said, "The minister has a suggestion," "Aiqing but it doesn't hurt to say." "The minister thought that he could send the princess to the desert with the heart of my dynasty to seek peace, and in history, the princess and the princess were full of examples of peaceful coexistence between the two countries, and this could not only turn the two countries into a jade silk, but also a good thing for the princess and the princess." "What Aiqing said is very true, if we can resolve the current crisis in our country without moving a single soldier, it must be a good thing, but the real princesses have already married when they reach the marriageable age, and the remaining princesses have not yet reached the marriageable age, how can this be good." With the right counselor to come forward, coupled with the emperor's recognition of the princess and relatives, the rest of the ministers also dared to come forward and speak bluntly, at this time the military department Shangshu said, "The emperor have forgotten, Princess Xuanyang has reached the marriageable age, and has not yet married, not to mention that Princess Xuanyang can be said to be the most favored princess of my dynasty, and she is generous, beautiful and moving, from Princess Xuanyang to the desert and relatives, will definitely seek peace for our country." ”

The emperor knew that these old ministers would hit the head of Princess Xuanyang, although Princess Xuanyang said that he had challenged his limit, but over the years, he watched Princess Xuanyang grow up, her filial piety and thoughtfulness were never given to him by any prince and princess, and the emperor really didn't want Princess Xuanyang to stay away from him, and he didn't want her to accept so many grievances. So the emperor said, "Princess Xuanyang has been married to Lu Tiance, the champion of this year's imperial examination, although she has not married, but I have already married them, so Princess Xuanyang is not the best candidate for marriage." "Regarding the matter of Princess Xuanyang helping Lu Tiance escape, although the emperor has ordered that no one should discuss it, it is inevitable that the palace people who have many mouths will spread the matter, so now this matter has become known to everyone in the capital, but everyone has not put it on the table. But the right counselor is worthy of being a loyal minister who is not afraid of disobedience to the emperor and dares to speak out, he disregarded the emperor's face and said bluntly, "The ministers have long heard that the princess assisted the future concubine to resist marriage and fled from the capital, and now her whereabouts are unknown, this matter has already spread throughout the capital, which has caused a very adverse impact on the reputation of the princess, so the minister implores His Majesty to send Princess Xuanyang to the desert and kiss to end the marriage contract between Princess Xuanyang and Lu Tiance." This will not only bring peace to our dynasty, but also restore the reputation of the princess, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice. "The words of the right counselor doctor have not only attracted the dissatisfaction of the emperor, but also attracted the dissatisfaction of the ministers, the right counselor himself is not afraid of dying in the emperor's premise, Princess Xuanyang, this ugly matter is forgotten, but also to pull us up and say a "minister", this is not clearly to tell the emperor that this matter is already known to everyone, if the son of heaven is investigated, not everyone can stand it.

Sure enough, as the ministers thought, the emperor was very angry after hearing the words of the right counselor, "Is it true that our dignified Heavenly Empire wants to rely on the sacrifice of a weak woman in exchange for peace, what is the difference between such peace and stealing a living, and you dare to hit my head on the head of Princess Xuanyang, it is good that I didn't settle accounts with you." Ignoring the emperor's already angry red face, the right counselor continued, "Your Majesty, if the happiness of Princess Xuanyang can be exchanged for the peace of the people in the whole country, then it is not impossible, besides, many of His Majesty's princesses have wronged themselves for peace and left their hometowns to go to the outside of the country to make peace, so why can't Princess Xuanyang." The sentence of the right counselor doctor, "Many princesses have gone to the outside of the Saiwai for peace" in the emperor's ears, heard in the emperor's ears that the right counselor was suspicious of the emperor's ability to govern the country, and realized that the emperor's mediocrity and incompetence caused so many princesses to sacrifice their grievances and ask for peace for a while, so the emperor Long Yan was furious, "The right counselor is bold, and he dares to turn around and scold me for being mediocre and incompetent, come on, pull him down, and exile him to Lingnan." "Your Majesty, think twice, Princess Xuanyang has to kiss her." The emperor was even more upset when he heard this, and simply dispersed the early dynasty, "That's the end of today's early dynasty, you all disperse, and we will discuss something tomorrow." He said that he did not wait for the courtiers to kneel down and left.

The emperor who returned to the apse was in an irritable mood, and he asked Li Bai, who was standing on the side, and said, "Li Aiqing thinks that I should send Xuanyang to make peace, after all, Xuanyang did make a big mistake as they said." Li Bai can already see from the fate of the right doctor in the court, although Princess Xuanyang has offended the emperor, but in the emperor's heart, the weight of this daughter is still very heavy, in the final analysis, he is reluctant to let Princess Xuanyang go to kiss, of course he doesn't want to provoke him when the emperor is already angry, let himself suffer, so he said according to the emperor's meaning, "The minister thinks that Princess Xuanyang should not be sent to the desert and kiss." Sure enough, Li Bai's words made the emperor half angry, and he was quite interested in Li Bai's words, "In Aiqing's opinion, what should be done." Li Bai knew that the emperor would not cure him for his sins because of a bad mood now, so he said, "In the opinion of the minister, you can choose a palace maid with good character and appearance around the princess, and falsely claim to be the sister of Princess Xuanyang, who is little known by the princess's side all the year round, and she will be named a princess, instead of Princess Xuanyang to make peace, the desert barbarians do not understand our Central Plains culture, and naturally they don't know what the princess of the Central Plains is like, as long as we all insist that it is our princess, then we can also ask for peace for me." Li Bai's words won the emperor's heart, and the emperor greatly appreciated it, "Okay, Li Aiqing is right, just sacrificing a little palace maid can make Princess Xuanyang not suffer from this crime, and it can also be exchanged for peace, Aiqing is really the pillar of my dynasty." "The emperor has won the award, and the minister just wants to share his majesty's worries. "Then Aiqing will be in charge of this matter and select a suitable palace maid from Xuanyang's side. Li Bai then received the emperor's order.

At this time, although Chacha and Tiance are safe, Chacha is still a little worried about Princess Xuanyang, calculate the time, at this time, the emperor should have returned to the palace from the winter hunt, then he must have found that Tiance is gone, at this time, he only needs to think a little to know that it was Princess Xuanyang who helped them escape from the capital, and I don't know if the emperor will be angry with Princess Xuanyang because of this. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and Tiance saw that she was so anxious that she was walking around the house like an ant on a hot pot, and she couldn't do it for a minute, so she asked, "Cha Cha, what's wrong with you, we have all come here, it's safe, what are you still worried about." Cha Cha said anxiously, "I'm worried about Xuanyang, she was so kind to help us escape, now the emperor must know that she helped us, Xuanyang said that the emperor wants to save face the most, and he must feel that Xuanyang has made him lose face in front of the world, and he will definitely be angry with Xuanyang, if Xuanyang is punished by the emperor for helping us, how guilty we are." Tiance couldn't understand what Cha Cha said, "But Cha Cha, isn't Princess Xuanyang the emperor's favorite daughter, no matter how angry the emperor is, he won't be willing to punish her." "Tiance, you don't know, Xuanyang told me that the emperor was so good to her, most likely because Xuanyang's mother died because she helped the emperor block an arrow. But Xuanyang challenged his bottom line, and he would inevitably not condemn Xuanyang because of this. After hearing what Cha Cha said, Tian Ce was also very worried about Princess Xuanyang's current situation, and said, "What should I do, but we don't know the situation on Princess Xuanyang's side now, and now the emperor is still sending people to chase us, how can we help the princess?" Speaking of inquiring about the news, Cha Cha immediately thought of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, although she said that she would no longer trouble them after escaping from the palace with Tian Ce, but now her sister Princess Xuanyang is in trouble and has to trouble them. So Cha Cha still cheekily summoned Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai was very dissatisfied with Cha Cha once again for not keeping his promise to summon him, but he was helpless, so he had to say, "Your Highness, what's the matter, don't you call us every time when we are breastfeeding the child." Cha Cha didn't feel embarrassed and said, "Didn't I trouble you a few times, don't you need to be so stingy." I promise this is the last time, you can ask me about the current situation of Princess Xuanyang, it is the Princess Xuanyang who has helped us a lot. ”

Xiaobai heard that it was Princess Xuanyang, and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since we want to inquire about Princess Xuanyang's current situation, then we don't have to run again, after the emperor knew that you had escaped a few days ago." ”
