The three thousand miles of Guanlong domain made waves because of Qin Shubao's death. That's it~

Now, the sky is full of fierce fighting spirit and angry people's voices; On the contrary, Qin Mubai's private house was peaceful and peaceful.

He's enjoying, having fun.

The appearance of Xiao Lou'er was like an angel coming to Qin Mubai. Only when he is truly a father can he understand what kind of feelings his parents have for him, and how great it will be.

Die for the skull...... Now Qin Mubai will also be willing to do this for Xiao Lou'er.

Behind Qiongyu Tower, there is a small flower garden cultivated by Wu Meiniang's novices, and many flowers unique to Chang'an and Jiangnan are planted with ingenuity. It's not very precious, but it's definitely rare in this place in Helong. I don't know when she practiced gardening for these groups and was able to feed them.

The family, in the green grass of the flower garden, laid out a soft felt carpet to sit and lie on the ground, with the small building as the core, leisurely and contented to enjoy the time.

Wu Meiniang and Princess Gao Yang have been thinking that if it weren't for Chen Yan and Xiao Lou'er appearing at this time, the current Qin Mubai really doesn't know what it would be like. No matter how much grief and anger Qin Mubai pretended to be in his heart and how much pressure he was undergoing, at least for now, the smile on his face was comfortable and relaxed.

"Yan, when did you come to Lanzhou, why didn't you come to see me?" Qin Mubai asked.

Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "It was about half a month ago, and you were busy at that time. I didn't want to disturb you to get down to business, so I took Xiaolou'er to find a place to live, and then visited my father-in-law first, and met Her Royal Highness the princess there. ”

Qin Mubai glanced at Princess Gaoyang and said, "Ling'er, you are good now, you can pretend to be in your heart, and you can hide this from me?" ”

Princess Gaoyang was about to argue, and Chen Yan hurriedly said: "Don't complain about the prince and princess, I strongly asked them to hide it from you first." Anyway, now that we're together, that's enough, isn't it? Don't worry about the past. ”

Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, and said, "Yan, I know you have always wanted to avoid me. Now, you don't have that power or qualification. Even if you don't recognize me as a man, Xiaolou'er can't live without me as a father, can you? ”

"Ho, you frivolous and irresponsible stinky man! got cheap and sold well, and used Xiaolouer to blackmail Chen Yan! Princess Gaoyang cried out angrily, "You don't want to think about how hard it is for her to be pregnant alone for ten months?" and took Xiaolouer from Youzhou to Lanzhou thousands of miles away, when you have suffered a lot - you have to compensate others! ”

"No need." Chen Yan said with a smile, "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but I am used to being alone. Xiao Lou'er has been very obedient since she was in my belly, but she didn't let me suffer much - by the way, speaking of Youzhou, Mu Bai, do you remember an old man? ”

"Who?" Qin Mubai didn't react for a while.

"Stupid! Of course, it's my third emperor brother, Li Ke, King of Wu! Princess Gaoyang said quickly, "He has returned from Goguryeo and temporarily served as the governor of Youzhou on behalf of the imperial uncle of Jiangxia!" ”

"King Wu......" Qin Mubai frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Have you seen him in Youzhou?" ”

"How about seeing it? I lived in his palace for more than a month. He treated me as a sister-in-law and treated me politely with the respect of the prince, and he had to recognize Xiao Lou'er as his goddaughter, and he hugged him on his lap every day to play. Chen Yan smiled, "Originally, I didn't want to come to Lanzhou. One is too far away, and the other is that I see you handsome, afraid of causing you trouble, so I just wait for the next day to recognize you. But King Wu advised me. YZ u is here~ So, here I am. ”

"That's interesting." Qin Mubai smiled, "In this world, there are not many people who can persuade you. ”

"King Wu is one." Chen Yan smiled.

"Why?" Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang asked curiously.

"Just because he once rushed back to Xiangyang from Chang'an to see off the princess." Chen Yan said, "He is a person who understands, cherishes, and values affection. Therefore, I am willing to listen to his words. ”

"What did he say?" Qin Mubai asked.

He said that we should not impose our own ideas on children, and we should not selfishly refute children's happiness because of our own gains and losses. Xiaolou'er needs a father, all the time, every day. Chen Yan said, "He told me that even if you don't want Qin Mubai as a man, you must let Xiao Lou'er have a father." ”

"That's right." Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang said in unison.

Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "It's still King Wu who understands me." ”

"Yes! The two of you are just stinking like each other, and you are embarrassed! Mixing together is not a good thing, and it is the best at picking flowers and grass. Princess Gao Yang said angrily, "Probably, my third brother knows best how much you like Sister Yan, right?" ”

Chen Yan and Wu Meiniang suddenly laughed. Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Ling'er, look at your current virtue, where is the dignity of a princess?" It's clearly a little daughter-in-law who overturned the vinegar jar! ”

"I was originally the little daughter-in-law of your Qin family's famous matchmaker, what's wrong!" Princess Gaoyang became more and more angry, her hands were crossed to her waist, and she said arrogantly, "Inside, I and Sister Mei Niang and Sister Yan are like sisters, and they are not separated from each other; But outside, nominally I am the princess of the emperor's marriage and the mother of the Qin family! Now, this housewife announces - Qin Mubai, you are not allowed to provoke women in the future! With the three of us at home, that's enough! Do you hear that? ”

Everyone laughed and leaned forward!

On the contrary, Xiao Lou'er, who was lying on the ground and having fun, was startled, and cried.

"Don't laugh! …… Xiao Lou'er don't cry obediently! Have you heard it? Princess Gao Yang jumped to her feet in a hurry.

No one paid attention to her anymore, and they all coaxed Xiaolou'er to go.

At this time, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Li Xueyan, the princess of Cheng, came together.

"Prince, uncle, father-in-law......" Qin Mubai and the others stood up to greet him.

When Xiao Lou'er saw Li Daozong and Li Xueyan, she smiled very happily, and got up and called childishly: "Grandpa! Aunt...... To hug! ”

Li Daozong laughed and picked her up, kissed her on the face a few times before handing her over to Li Xueyan to hold, and then called Qin Mubai aside.

"Mu Bai, this is interesting." Li Daozong took out a letter and shook it, and said, "Guess what this is?" ”

Qin Mubai glanced at it, and said with a cold smile: "In the past few days, the prince has been in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion instead of me, could this be the war letter from the Garqin Mausoleum?" ”

"Clever." Li Daozong handed him the letterhead and said, "That kid's plan on the front line of Gaochang failed, and the battle of Yuyang Erguan started ahead of schedule, so that the original plan to trap you and me has also failed." In order not to lose face, he took the initiative to give Lanzhou a war letter.

"I'll see." Qin Mubai read the letter.

The letter is only eleven words - "The autumn moon is full, Qingluo will hunt, dare to come?" ”

"Insolent!" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, folded the letter well, and put it in his arms.

"What are you going to do now?" Li Daozong asked.

Qin Mubai raised the fingers of his right hand and showed it to Li Daozong.

Li Daozong was suddenly surprised and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" When was the injury still hit the package? ”

"I gave the court a bloody letter!" Qin Mubai's eyebrows tightened, and he said, "Yesterday, it was already eight hundred miles expeditiously delivered." ”

"What?" Li Daozong was surprised, "Originally, this king was also going to gather all the generals and people under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to jointly write to the court, why did you take this step first?" ”

"No need." Qin Mubai smiled faintly and said, "Duke Yu, the imperial court appointed me as the Metropolitan Governor of Lanzhou, second only to the Metropolitan Protector of Anxi. Now that most of the protectors have been martyred, I should take on this heavy responsibility, and there is no need for my subordinates and people to share the pressure for me. I have to start the war. In selfishness, the father's revenge is not avenged, and he does not share the sky. I don't want the people in the court to think that I, Qin Mubai, are still afraid of life and death at this time! Please fight, I am the only one; When the time comes, whether you allow it or not, I will have to fight with my troops! Afterwards, if you want to sanction and cut off your head, you will come at me Qin Mubai alone! ”

"Good man!" Li Daozong praised him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Since the blood book has been published, you should start actively preparing for the battle." Now, the war in Yuyang Erguan is in full swing, and Su Dingfang doesn't know if he can withstand it, whether he needs to send troops to help, you can do it. In addition, the military plan we formulated earlier for the Garqin Mausoleum will also be rearranged, because the original dark war has become the current open war. The two sides are bound to have a fierce battle in Qingluoyuan. This will be a big battle that has been extremely rare since the founding of the Tang Dynasty! I estimate that the Tibetan Zanpu Sect Abandonment Sect will come to the battlefield in person to supervise the formation, and when the time comes, they may increase their troops. ”

"The prince is really thoughtful!" Qin Mubai nodded and said, "As soon as my father dies, Xue Rengui will go north, which will announce the failure of the grand layout of the Garqin Mausoleum." As a result, the battle of Yuyang Erguan officially began, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo also went to war in an all-out way. At this time, who cares about what is and is not harmonious? -- More than 600,000 strong soldiers from all over the country in Tubo have already gathered under the command of the Garqin Mausoleum in Kunlun Mountain. Now, I estimate that they will increase their troops again to attack the second pass of Yuyang, and they will also increase their troops in Kunlun Golmud. I even suspect that they will simultaneously wave their troops south to attack the area of Xichuan in the south of the Tang Dynasty, leaving us with no skills and thus losing our forces. I mentioned this point in the blood book, and I hope that the imperial court will take precautions as soon as possible. And as I said, there is no need for the court to give me a soldier, a soldier, a penny, or a piece of food. I, Qin Mubai, bring my own Lanzhou fathers, elders, soldiers and civilians to resist foreign enemies and kill thieves! ”

"Hmm......" Li Daozong nodded slowly with deep feelings, was speechless for a long time, and then said, "Then the Yuyang area, do you plan to increase the army?" ”

"No more." Qin Mubai said, "I believe in Su Dingfang. Although he only had a total of 30,000 horses under his command, with his ability and the natural danger of Yuyang Erguan, it was enough to resist 100,000 male soldiers. Now, I want to focus all my energy on recruiting and expanding the army and training new divisions. It's only about a month until the autumn battle, and I need to hurry. Half a month later, I personally led the main army of Lanzhou to Dafeichuan to supervise the battle in Tibet. Here in Lanzhou, I will ask the prince to preside over the overall situation on my behalf. ”

"No problem." Li Daozong nodded and said, "This time, this king will also rejuvenate, and you will be young and frivolous." At that time, the court will ask for guilt and punish it, count this king as one! ”

"Who dares to ask for guilt and punish you!" Princess Gao Yang chatted with Wu Meiniang and the others quite far away, but kept her ears open to listen to them. Li Daozong's voice was heard by her, she suddenly became angry, ran over and said, "Uncle Huang, I just want to know, who in the court dares to ask and punish you and Mu Bai?" Have you done anything wrong, are you collaborating with the enemy and treason, or losing power and humiliating the country? ”

"Ling'er, you don......'t understand the things of the court," Li Daozong said.

"Who said I didn't understand!" Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows, and said angrily, "Those so-called ministers, sitting in the well and watching the sky, do not want to forge ahead, cling to the word 'Yong' and doing nothing, and they can't allow people like Uncle Huang and Mu Bai to make contributions and expand the territory!" If you want me to say, the Tang Dynasty has been founded for more than 20 years, and the daily singing and dancing is peaceful, but in fact, there are dangers! Look at what kind of things have happened in the past few years - my brother rebelled and was killed; The rebellion of the eldest brother of the prince was deposed; The father said that he was sick and ignored state affairs, and the young slave was in charge of the country; Goguryeo ignored the Tang Dynasty and attacked Baekje and Silla to unify the peninsula and dominate itself; Xue Yantuo is getting stronger and stronger, and he is about to become the second Jieli Khan of the grassland; The Western Turkic Northern Court has almost dominated the Western Regions, and it can instigate a small country like Gaochang to turn his back on the Tang Dynasty and kill my marshal; The Tubo soldiers Yu Ye Zhi attacked the original ...... at the detainment pass One by one, if it doesn't show that Datang is declining, I really have nothing to say! I don't care about political affairs, but I can still see clearly, if my father and the ministers of the court still don't understand, then the daily meal will be in vain! ”

Li Daozong and Qin Mubai were stunned for a moment, looking at Princess Gaoyang in amazement, speechless for a while.

Princess Gaoyang didn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping, and continued to say excitedly: "The current Tang Dynasty is no longer the aggressive and mighty Heavenly Dynasty that my father and emperor had just ascended the throne; My father, the emperor, is not the 'Heavenly Khan' who made the barbarians fearful and respectful at the beginning. The world has been peaceful for a long time, and people's hearts are lazy and indulged in glory, and they live in peace without thinking about danger. My father and the emperor were only worried about the establishment of the prince, and the ministers had nothing to do but fight for power and deceive themselves to eliminate dissidents; The people have been in a hurry all day long and forgetting the worries of the country, singing and dancing in a muddy way - if this continues, our Datang will be finished! ”

"Hugh is nonsense!" Li Daozong immediately reprimanded.

"What are you afraid of! There are no outsiders here—besides, I dare to say this in front of my father! Princess Gao Yang said-for-tat, "Uncle Huang, you don't have to scold me!" Actually, you must know better than I do in your heart, but you don't want to say it! In the world, there are fewer men like my father-in-law and Mu Bai, who dare to do and shoulder heavy responsibilities! However, they are also excluded from the imperial court, and are regarded as aliens by those ministers who are content with the status quo and do not want to make progress and keep the old ways! Look - what will my father-in-law get in the end by dying for the country all his life? But with his death, it is a great relief to be able to wake up those corpses who are vegetarian in the court! Mu Bai has made countless meritorious contributions to the country and the people, what did he get? He's been thrown into prison before, and he'll probably be thrown into prison again in the future - I don't care! In the future, no matter what Mu Bai does, I will follow him! Heaven, Hell, wherever you are! ”

The more Princess Gaoyang spoke, the more excited she became, attracting Wu Meiniang, Chen Yan and others to come over and surround her in a circle.

Qin Mubai stared at her, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said to Li Daozong: "Lord Wang, how is Ling'er's eloquence?" ”

"In general, it's a bit clumsy." Li Daozong also smiled and said, "But the words are not rough, and they hit the nail on the head!" ”

Qin Mubai's blood rushed to fight; However, the news of Qin Shubao's death and martyrdom and the all-out war in Lanzhou has been transmitted to the original with the strong west wind of the desert.

Li Min was shocked, Kyushu shook!

Because he did not get the exact news from the Lanzhou border Guantang newspaper, although the Tang Dynasty and the opposition were in an uproar, no one brought it to the court meeting for public discussion.

Therefore, every morning in the morning, everyone is obviously preoccupied, but they are discussing some trivial things, and no one talks about "Lanzhou". The courtiers, from time to time, looked at the dragon case of Li Zhi, the prince of the prison state, and kept speculating that there was a thick stack of recitals every day, could there be a Lanzhou military newspaper?

At the same time, many people in the government and the opposition have made calculations in their stomachs - Qin Qiong died in battle, which will mean that the Tang Dynasty will not be at peace from now on. In the future, will the wind of the imperial court be the main battle, or will the main peace faction continue to suppress the upper hand? ……

Everyone, once again, is faced with the decision of "standing in line"!

And this time, even the eldest grandson Wuji was tight-lipped and resolutely did not mention half a sentence about Lanzhou.

Li Zhi, the prince of the prison state, fell into a complete confusion - he obviously heard the rumor that Qin Qiong had died in Lanzhou and started the war, and he obviously saw that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty was restless and full of worries, but no one took the matter out for discussion!

The imperial court, when did it become like this? …… A pool of stagnant water does nothing, everyone snows in front of the snow door, and ignores the frost on the tiles of others!

And the emperor Li Shimin still can't see the end of the dragon, and he retreats and recuperates.

The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and the court is up and down, all of which are like this.

……

The harem of the imperial city, an insignificant and most neglected place, the Protector of the Heavenly Temple, two women who have nothing to do with the wind and moon and do not do state affairs, are talking about Zen in the opposite seat.

"Master, the disciple has been restless and worried a lot in recent days." Concubine Yin De, holding a Buddha bead with her palms together, stared at her eyebrows and whispered.

"Niangniang worried, where did it come from?" The abbot of the Heavenly Kingdom Temple, Master Qingshan asked in a whisper.

"Lanzhou."

Master Qingshan paused for a moment and said with a smile: "As the mother of a country, Niangniang is worried about national affairs, which is right. ”

"Nope." Concubine Yin De shook her head and said, "Although I am one of the four concubines appointed by His Majesty, I never ask about state affairs. ”

"That Niangniang, but are you worried about Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, who is far away in Lanzhou and involved in the war?"

"......" Concubine Yin De was silent, and folded her jaws and said a Buddha chant...... Amitabha!

Master Qingshan stared at Concubine Yin De with a smile, but at this moment, her soft gaze pierced into Concubine Yinde's heart like a sharp dagger, making her tremble slightly.

"Amitabha...... Concubine De Niangniang, are you worried that he will go off the beaten path forever and fall into the devil forever, and fall into the sea of suffering after thousands of catastrophes? ”

Concubine Yin De's eyebrows twisted slightly, slowly opened her skin eyes, and said softly: "Disciple, I am worried about this...... If he is like this, Ling'er will have a boundless sea of suffering in this life! ”

"Amitabha!" Master Qingshan said, "Then why are you sure that he will not become famous in one battle and go straight to the sky, and he will be famous in history for eternity?" ”

"I don't know...... The disciple was very upset! Concubine Yin De's face was melancholy, and she said confusedly, "He is a person who attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and although he usually looks very gentle and generous, his heart is paranoid and unmatched." At this moment, I think no one can relieve the grief and indignation in his heart, and he can only give up if he wields his killing intent for the devil! ”

Master Qingshan nodded slowly and said, "Say bosom friend, Dao bosom friend!" He was thousands of miles away and vowed never to play the piano...... Although the string is broken, the bosom friend is still there! - Niangniang, a thought becomes a demon, a thought is in the Buddha! Whether it is a demon or a Buddha, it is only between the lines. The Bodhisattva of the Earth Burial King once made an oath that hell would not be empty and not become a Buddha...... or holding a knife to vent the killing intent of the devil, or killing with great compassion, all in one thought. Only the subtlety of this, the Buddha only smiled, and the meaning was not spoken. He is born with different talents, and everything can go with the flow, and the underworld has its own certainty, so why should the mother worry? ”

"One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha......" Concubine Yin De chanted repeatedly, chanting carefully......
