The imperial court finally made a decision to move the capital to Chang'an.

After announcing this matter at the court meeting on this day, Xue Shao really couldn't resist the repeated invitations of the crown prince Li Xian, so he had to go to his mansion with Princess Taiping as a guest.

The crown princess Wei Xiang'er was quite enthusiastic, holding the two-month-old imperial grandson and kept saying to Xue Shao and Princess Taiping, why don't we get married? If Her Royal Highness gives birth to a daughter, she will be married; If Her Royal Highness the Princess gives birth to a son, the first daughter I will give birth to in the future will definitely marry your son!

Xue Shao really wanted to tell Wei Xiang'er, I got into the water in my brain before I married you as an in-law. Needless to say, Princess Taiping must have a similar idea in her heart. It's just that for the sake of face, the two of them hummed and coped with the past, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Of course, Wei Xiang'er didn't have much hope, seeing that Xue Shao and his wife were not interested in getting married, they didn't insist repeatedly.

Li Xian set up a banquet and entertained Xue Shao and his wife, and his attraction to Xue Shao was almost written on his face. Xue Shao knew what he was thinking, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was seriously ill, and the day of his succession was approaching day by day. But now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are standing in the camp of the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan, and the power of the big and small is firmly controlled by the two of them.

Once Li Xianxin ascends the throne, he is very likely to face a situation where no one is available or even embattled. Li Xian thought about it, and only Princess Taiping, a sister, had a good relationship with herself, and she is currently very favored. More importantly, Xue Shao, the concubine of Princess Taiping, has made a name for himself in the army, and now he also serves as a very important general of Beiya Yu Linwei.

Like a man who fell into the water grasping a straw, Li Xian caught Xue Shao and was reluctant to let go, regardless of what Xue Shao thought in his heart. Anyway, in his opinion, in another 10,000 years, he and Princess Taiping will be brothers and sisters. It's only natural to be close to each other.

Princess Taiping once said to Xue Shao more than once that although there is a saying that the royal family has no family affection, the relationship between their brothers and sisters has always been good. Princess Taiping's four brothers, including Li Hong, who has died young, and Li Xian, who has been degraded and exiled, have loved Princess Taiping since childhood.

This is also the only reason why Princess Taiping will give Li Xian some face now. If it weren't for that, according to her hot temperament, she would have pointed at Wei Xiang'er's nose and scolded, at least she would have been dead and would not have been in contact with each other.

Xue Shao's thoughts in his heart are completely different from Princess Taiping's thoughts of holding a hint of family affection. He knows history, and he knows that Li Xian is a well-known emperor and a green hat emperor in Chinese history. And his wife, the current Princess Wei, who is the famous Empress Wei in Chinese history, is definitely a dangerous woman with a femme fatale heart.

Although the current history may be different from the original trajectory, as far as I know so far, even if this Wei Xiang'er will not become the snake demon queen who wants to be Wu Zetian's second and poison her husband, at least she is a watery Yang Hua, ambitious and very restless lord.

It's definitely no good to get involved with such people.

What's more, even if Xue Shao doesn't understand history, he at least understands the current political situation. Whether it is the queen of heaven or Pei Yan, none of Li Xian can shake it, not to mention that the queen of heaven and Pei Yan have joined forces. In front of them, Li Xian was as tender as his newborn imperial grandson. Even if he ascends the throne in the future, the emperor's throne will definitely not be stable.

Xue Shao absolutely did not believe that the "Bright Alliance" between himself, the general of the light rod, and Li Xian, the single prince, could kill the "strong alliance" of Pei Yan and Wu Zetian.

There are no eggs under the nest, and Xue Shao doesn't want to bury Li Xian.

During the trip to the East Palace, Xue Shao's only gain was to hear some forbidden gossip from the mouth of the drunken prince Li Xian. It turned out that on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor fainted and urgently summoned the prince and others to discuss the "relocation of the capital".

At that time, Wu Zetian already wanted to move the capital. The reason is that the two saints have long said that after sealing Mount Tai, they will seal all the five mountains. It just so happens that now the emperor's majesty is not in peace, so it is better to go to Luoyang to seal Chan Songshan. First, this is Li Zhi's wish, and secondly, he can leave a name in history, and after Li Zhi is seriously ill, he especially hopes to be able to prolong his life a little. Li Zhi really wanted to go to Songshan Taoist Temple to live for a while, and follow those Taoist priests to cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate Taoism and alchemy, hoping to live a long life.

But at that time, Pei Yan, Xue Yuanchao and Liu Renliang, the three important ministers and prime ministers, all vetoed the queen of heaven's proposal. There is only one reason, the emperor's dragon body may not be able to withstand such a toss.

So at that time, the matter was closed.

More than two months later, a major drought came unexpectedly, making Wu Zetian's idea of moving the capital a reality. The second saint will take a large part of the officials and troops to Luoyang, the eastern capital. The crown prince Li Xian remained in Chang'an to supervise the state council, and left Liu Renliang, Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan, the three important ministers of the dynasty, to Li Xian as an assistant.

is called Assistant, Li Xian knows that all major matters must be discussed and decided by these three prime ministers, and he can't intervene at all. The so-called prince is just an ornament.

The intention of the crown prince Li Xian to invite Xue Shao to come today was actually to hope that Xue Shao could stay in Chang'an and not leave, and lead the army left behind to assist him.

Once he has the military power in his hands, Li Xian will naturally have some confidence.

Of course, Xue Shao didn't agree, and he couldn't agree. Who will stay in Chang'an to lead the left-behind army, this kind of thing can only be decided by the two saints, how can he, the prince of the prison country, personally order the generals?

When Xue Shao and his wife left, Li Xian couldn't hide his lost expression. But he didn't mean to blame at all, he still smiled innocently, and personally sent Xue Shao and his wife out of the East Palace.

"The prince is not bad, but the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, I can't follow him." Xue Shao was blunt with Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping gently snuggled into Xue Shao's arms and was silent.

When the carriage walked out of the East Palace, Xue Shao saw through the floating curtains that at the corner of the courtyard wall in front of him, a familiar figure had just turned a corner and walked over.

Li Xiantong!

Xue Shao's heart was very cold, this person had disappeared for a long time, and he remembered that after the case of Merging the state, he relied on reporting his father Li Shangdan to be exonerated from the crime, and then lived in the East Palace to do the East Palace rate. This is a fourth-rank military attaché, but he doesn't have half a soldier under him. The sixth rate of the East Palace is called the Prince Wei rate, and in fact, all the military power is held in the hands of the two saints.

"In the prince's East Palace, it's not that there are no talents." Xue Shao said coldly.

Princess Taiping was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"I saw Li Xiantong." Xue Shao frowned and said, "This person is very powerful in all aspects except for his improper mental skills!" At the beginning of Bingzhou, I was almost planted in his hands with Li Jinxing, Li Duozuo, Cheng Wuting and others! ”

Princess Taiping also got up and looked out the car window, but Li Xiantong's figure had disappeared. She said worriedly: "I'm really worried that there is such a person staying with Brother Prince!" ”

"It's useless for you to worry." Xue Shao shook his head, "This is the arrangement of the Queen of Heaven." ”

Princess Taiping suddenly woke up, "Isn't it, my mother sent him to spy on the prince's brother?" ”

"Then I don't know."

Princess Taiping bit her lip and looked out the window, and muttered, "Brother Prince, it's so pitiful......"

"An Ran, why don't you go to the palace!" Xue Shao said suddenly.

"Why?" Princess Taiping didn't react for a while.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "I'd rather believe in it than believe in it." Instead of waiting for someone to tell us, we should go and confess to the queen ourselves. ”

Princess Taiping understood, sighed and nodded, "Okay, enter the palace." I will tell the queen mother about the things we met with the prince's brother today and the topics we talked about. ”

"Thank you for your hard work...... Xue Shao also sighed helplessly, who called himself a forbidden army general with such a sensitive identity now? Dealing with the prince in such a private way, it is impossible for the second saint not to think about it when he knows it.

Taoguang is obscure, and it is natural to prevent the slightest.

Xue Shao knew the truth, but he was always aggrieved and annoyed when he did these things. He began to miss infinitely the days when he was away from home and had a lot of enthusiasm.

The great migration of tens of thousands of people in the imperial court to move the capital was not something that could be completed overnight. For this reason, the imperial court had to prepare for at least ten days and a half months, and too many people had to be divided into several batches and sent to Luoyang one after another.

Xue Shao and Princess Taiping of course walked with the two saints, except for the pioneers who went to make preparations first, they went to Luoyang in the second batch.

Princess Taiping's mansion began to work up and down, ready to travel. Chen Xian'er took the initiative to ask to stay and watch the house, and Princess Taiping sent Zhu Bajie to her as a deputy housekeeper, and it didn't hurt.

There is nothing to worry about at home. The Beiya Forbidden Army had to escort the two saints, so Xue Shao, the general of the right feather Lin Wei, had something to do, and he was finally not so idle.

However, a few days before the capital was moved, the imperial court suddenly received an urgent report from the Western Regions.

The ten tribes of the Western Turks have rebelled!

This news shocked the Tang Dynasty and the opposition greatly. But Xue Shao's brain was alive like boiling. He had said it in his heart more than a thousand times - I am going to go on a march, I am going to go on a war!

The two saints who received the news immediately convened a military meeting in front of the emperor, and all the prime ministers and generals above the third rank were invited to participate.

Xue Shao, of course, was also invited.

Everyone discussed with each other, and the first to see clearly the fact in front of them - the house leak happened to rain overnight.

Now that His Majesty is seriously ill and there is a great drought in Guanzhong, the imperial court is about to face such a huge project as moving the capital. Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that the imperial court would send a large-scale expedition to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion.

However, if the rebellion of the Western Turks is ignored, then half of the Western Regions and the Silk Road, a living source of wealth, will definitely be lost!

How to solve this heavy dà puzzle?

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and even Pei Yan didn't have a proper way for a while.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xue Shao, the junior who was invited to participate in the imperial military meeting for the first time, was not good at taking the lead, so he quietly gave Li Zhi a look.

Li Zhi saw Xue Shaodi's eyes, so he broke the deadlock and said, "Everyone, you all seem to have forgotten about one person. ”

"Who did Your Majesty say?"

"Pei Wenxi!" Li Zhi said, "If the Western Regions are determined, he must be! ”

Xue Shao was stunned, I just want to ask for an expedition, father-in-law, why did you get involved with Pei Gong?
