Taiyuan, the princess's mansion of the Jin Kingdom.

The princess of the Jin Kingdom, who was more than forty years old, was dressed in a luxurious Tang palace costume, dragging a long hem out of the inner courtyard, and the golden steps on her head swayed, and her demeanor and charm were still on her body and face.

"Princess Wan'an!" From the backyard to the front yard, the maids and servants along the way bowed down to say goodbye.

The princess of the Jin Kingdom looked at it as if she had not seen it, and when she came to the front hall, she met the housekeeper in a hurry, and the princess of the Jin Kingdom asked, "Where is the horse?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Princess Qiyu, the concubine said that she was in a bad mood, so she went to the other courtyard to relax!" ”

When the princess of the Jin Kingdom heard this, her face turned cold, "Hmph, why are you going to the other courtyard to relax?" I'm afraid that I will go to which Qinglou is happy again, right? This useless thing, I know all day long, my son is gone, he still has the heart to spend time drinking, why am I, Li Qingyao, so unlucky and married to such a wreck? ”

The housekeeper's face was full of distress, he was the personal eunuch of Liu Cairen, the mother of the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and watched the princess of the Jin Kingdom Li Qingyao grow up since he was a child.

Cui Huitong, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, was born in the Boling Cui family, and now Cui Jinrong, the Taishou of Shuozhou, is Cui Huitong's cousin, one of the two is in Taiyuan, and the other is in Shuozhou, which is not far away, so they often meet, and there are correspondence when they do not meet. The horses, it sounds like a terrible identity, or a profession, in fact, Cui Huitong's life is very bad, not only Cui Huitong, other horses are not having a good time, if the horses of the Tang Dynasty have a choice, they are afraid that they would rather never marry, and will not marry the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty have Li Shimin's sister Li Xiuning, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Taiping and other characters as role models, and the later princesses are very restless, some of the horses are cuckolded, some have become tracheitis, Some have been abused, hurt by serious domestic violence, and some have even been abandoned directly, the princesses of Xuanzong Li Longji are not so honest, many princesses have married several times in their lives, and the most have been married three times, this is still in the case that their predecessors are still alive, such as Xuanzong's eighth daughter, Princess Qi Guo, married Zhang Yan, married Pei Ying, and finally married Yang Fu.

The housekeeper saw that Li Qingyao, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, was so angry that her face turned pale, and hurriedly comforted: "Princess, look at it!" The horse is an ambitious person, but the court stipulates that the horses are not allowed to participate in the government affairs, and the ambition in the chest of the horse master is difficult to display, and this time Shangjing not only did not seek justice in front of the saint, but was also scolded, and it is reasonable to be depressed in my heart! ”

Cui Huitong is one of them, he is also a direct descendant of the Boling Cui family, and he is even more talented, but because of the damn regulations of the imperial court, he can't participate in court politics, so all his ambitions have nowhere to show.

Li Qingyao listened to the housekeeper's persuasion and understood the pain in her husband's heart, so she could only sigh silently, remembered something, and asked: "After our government came forward to pressure those nobles to recover all the grain and grass donated to Zhao Ziliang, what was Zhao Ziliang's reaction?" ”

The housekeeper bowed down and said: "Princess, after this incident, Zhao Ziliang also sent people to find those nobles, but they had the advice and care of our house, and they didn't dare to send the food to Zhao Ziliang again, it is said that Zhao Ziliang was very angry, and shouted that he must make those nobles look good, but he didn't have a good way, that is, he screamed badly, I heard that he went to the clouds to inspect the defense this morning, and he brought a full set of honor guards, making a lot of noise!" ”

The princess of the Jin Kingdom sneered: "The surname Zhao will only be a fox and a fake tiger, his rights are not given by my Li family, without the favor of my father and the emperor, without my Li Tang to give him an official, he is not bullshit!" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly echoed: "Yes, the one surnamed Zhao doesn't know what to do, this person should be killed!" ”

Although Li Qingyao hated Zhao Ziliang for killing her son Cui Shijie to death, when she was still sensible, she pondered for a moment and said to the housekeeper: "Send someone to call the horse back, don't let him face to face with the surname Zhao, the surname Zhao is a vicious dog, catch whoever bites whom, at this juncture, don't make extraneous branches for the time being!" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "No! The old slave will do it immediately! ”

in the cloud.

Wu Tiande, the envoy of the guard, took the deputy envoy Zhang Yulin, the chief Shi Gao Yaohui, the judge Chen Hekun, the marching Sima Lu Changge and other officials and generals of the garrison and a large number of soldiers and horses to greet Zhao Ziliang and others at the city gate.

"The last general, Wu Tiande, led the officials and colonels of the palace to welcome the soldiers and horses of the left wing, and General Zhao came to the clouds to inspect military affairs!" Wu Tiande bowed and shouted loudly, and the other generals and officials of the Guarding Mansion also bowed down one after another.

It is a military unit, and like the military institutions of the army, town, and fort, it is one level smaller than the army, but it is larger than other military units, and it is independent, and it is not under the jurisdiction of a certain army, but directly under the jurisdiction of a military and political organ above the army level.

Zhao Ziliang stopped with an indifferent face: "Get up!" Wu Tiande, has Ben Jiang's residence been arranged? ”

Wu Tiande got up and said, "It's all arranged, does the general want to go to the residence to rest first, or go directly to various places to inspect?" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the accommodation to rest first, arrange a meal at noon, and after eating, General Ben will make a decision!" ”

"No!" Wu Tiande agreed, and hurriedly got out of the way: "General, please enter the city!" ”

Three or four hundred people swept into the city of clouds, the city of clouds in the Han Dynasty had it, the Tang Dynasty had set up the city of clouds on the site, the single governor of the capital and so on.

In this cloud city, only the living conditions of the Shouzhu Mansion are a little better, Wu Tiande in order to please Zhao Ziliang, let the backyard of the Shouzhu Mansion let Zhao Ziliang live, and when he entered the door, he said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the last general will let people prepare meals and drinks for the general's entourage, and then let the restaurant in the city prepare a table of banquets for the general and the accompanying officials and colonels, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was surprised: "There is still a restaurant in this cloud city? ”

The city in the clouds is on the grassland, it is the Tang army in the Han Dynasty on the ruins of the clouds to rebuild, if the border is peaceful, this city in the clouds often has merchants to come and go, when it is lively, it is almost crowded, these people can not not eat, so the cloud in the guard will sell some of the land in the city, so that the merchants can build restaurants, inns, cargo stations, grocery stores and other shops here to facilitate business travel.

Wu Tiande said with a smile: "Naturally, there are restaurants in the city!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and waved his hand and said: "Just let the restaurant prepare the banquet, the general doesn't care much about food and accommodation, just fill his stomach, you quickly let people prepare the meals of the general and the accompanying officials, generals and subordinates, and notify the officials and colonels of the garrison and the lieutenant colonel and above to come to the garrison from time to time, and the general will inspect their talents and command ability one by one!" ”

Wu Tiande was about to agree, but when the words came to his mouth, he immediately swallowed them back, and asked hesitantly: "General, I am afraid that there are only seventy or eighty people in the army who are guarding the officials and subordinates of the upper and lower levels of the government, and the number of people above the rank and bottom of the army is only seventy or eighty, if you ask them one by one, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish asking questions tomorrow!" ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he immediately turned pale, turned around and waited for Wu Tiande and said coldly: "What, how does General Ben inspect military defense, do you still need to teach him?" ”

"Huh? Don't dare, don't dare, the last general doesn't mean this, the last general means that the general has been on the road for more than a day, presumably very tired, the last general is worried that the general is overworked, since the general does not need to rest, then the general will inform them that they will all rush to the guard house in the afternoon to wait for the general to ask! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction, and took the lead in guarding the mansion, and the accompanying officials followed the colonels and servants into the house one by one, and all the war horses were led to the stable from the small door next to them.

Wu Tiande's movements were very fast, and it didn't take much effort to return to the Shouzhu Mansion with a team of people with buckets of food, Zhao Ziliang and the accompanying officials and generals had different identities, and they couldn't eat the same as the servants, so he opened a small stove for them alone.

During the meal, Wu Tiande looked left and right, and saw that Zhao Ziliang's servants were all around, so he cautiously leaned in and asked in a low voice: "General, what do you do?" How do you need to cooperate?"

Zhao Ziliang swallowed a mouthful of food and said indifferently: "You don't need to ask about what to do, you will naturally do it when the time comes, you don't need to do anything, just act when you are going to do it." In addition, Ben is going to warn you that you must not show your feet in front of those people, otherwise after the defeat, Ben can forcibly kill them with these hundreds of guards, but you will be chopped into meat sauce by them! ”

Wu Tiande wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the last general will be saved, and the last general will not dare to show his clues in front of them!" ”

In fact, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that Zhao Ziliang asked everyone to come in the afternoon, just to prepare to do it at that time? He thought about it again, but Zhao Ziliang had more than 300 elite servants around him, and it didn't seem difficult to get rid of those people who didn't have the protection of the army, thinking of this, a layer of sweat broke out on his vest.

When Wu Tiande left, Zhao Ziliang called Brehan, Nur and Cyclone Eighteen Cavalry and other twenty people over, and instructed: "In the afternoon, General Ben will take advantage of the opportunity to gather all of them, or in this garrison mansion, or go to the barracks to eradicate all the officials and colonels above the captain in the clouds, don't ask anything, just carry out the military order, once you see the general's order, immediately lead people to pounce on and control this group of people, if anyone dares to resist, immediately kill, but if you can, it is best to stay alive, General Ben still needs to pry open their mouths to find out the real helmsman behind the scenes, can you understand what Ben means? ”

Everyone said in unison: "My subordinates understand!" (To be continued.) )
