Although it was daytime, there were not many pedestrians on the road, after all, the weather was cold at this time, and if there was nothing to do, no one would go out at this time.

Therefore, the sound of the rain beating on the roof of the carriage was particularly loud in the silence of the carriage.

A man and a woman, and in the cramped, dimly lit carriage box, for a while, the atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous.

Of course, this is Duan Jian's feelings, as for what Shangguan Wan'er thinks, Duan Jian doesn't know, it's just that from her gradually thickening breath, and through the light that occasionally shines through the curtains that are occasionally blown by the wind, seeing her increasingly red face, Duan Jian also guessed her mood.

"Ah..... Dare to ask Miss Shangguan, where are we going? ”

Duan Jian suddenly spoke.

"Hmm....... Ah, where to go, what, you're still afraid that I won't be able to sell you, since you get in the car, stay honestly, and when you get to the place, you will naturally know. ”

was interrupted by Duan Jian like this, the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Shangguan Wan'er, who had just lost her mind, also woke up from her confusion, but unfortunately, I don't know why, Shangguan Wan'er, who had come to her senses, reprimanded Duan Jian angrily.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's angry rebuke, Duan Jian not only did not feel nervous, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Jian is not an innocent first brother, nor is he a Yanagi Hui, the kind of thing that plays on the spot, the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside, he did not do it in his previous life.

After coming to Datang, although there was no excessive behavior, Datang's system is placed here, which is much more relaxed than in the previous life, so if you really meet someone you like, or are interested, it is not a big deal to be romantic overnight.

But this is also to divide people, in Duan Jian's mind, there are a few women who can't be on it, and if he falls for these women, he will not be the only one who is unlucky, and the entire Wang family and the Duan family may also be affected at that time.

The woman he was doing in front of him was one of them, if Wu Zetian's achievements let the world know that women could also be emperors, then Shangguan Wan'er's achievements would let the world know that in this world, women are so versatile.

At the age of fourteen, he was reused by Wu Zetian, not only known as the 'prime minister of women', but also in the literary world, with a great reputation, many later generations of civilized literary masters, had asked her for guidance at the beginning, and his own poems were also unique in the literary world at that time.

If it is said that the more noble a woman's status is, it can also increase a man's desire to conquer, then when a woman's identity reaches a point where all men are beyond the reach of the dust, then the man will no longer have a desire for him, but more of a kind of admiration and jealousy.

Duan Jian didn't look up to her or have any suspicions, the reason why he didn't dare to get close to her was because of Wu Zetian's attitude, the emperor has always been the most jealous, that is, internal and external collusion, Duan Jian is a foreign official, if something intimate really happened with Shangguan Wan'er, it's good that Wu Zetian doesn't know, if it is leaked, what will happen to him, he doesn't dare to imagine, so, in order to avoid all this from happening, Duan Jian can only strangle all the accidents in the cradle.

The carriage was still moving steadily, but in the carriage box, because of the scene just now, there was a little silence, but fortunately, this silence was quickly broken, and with the soft 'whoo' of the coachman, the carriage stopped steadily.

"It's here, get out of the car."

"Well, how did you get here?"

After getting out of the carriage, Duan Jian looked up and looked around, but when he saw everything around him, his heart was full of doubts.

It's not that it's so strange here, it's just an ordinary gorgeous mansion, what really makes Duan Jian puzzled is that this mansion is a little unusual, because it clearly says 'Princess Mansion'.

"What, is it strange?"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice sounded behind Duan Jian.

Duan Jian nodded, didn't look back, and asked softly, "Dare to ask Miss Shangguan, why did you bring the lower officials here, could it be that this matter has something to do with the princess's mansion." ”

This time Duan Jian was appointed as the governor of Anbei Metropolitan Protector Shi, if Wu Zetian has no intentions, it is impossible, in Duan Jian's opinion, something must have happened in the north, in order to calm down, Wu Zetian needs to send someone to go, but if he blatantly sends someone to go, it will definitely play an unnecessary counterproductive role, just right, this time Duan Jian offended Xue Huaiyi and gave Wu Zetian an excellent opportunity.

It's just that no matter what Duan Jian thinks, this matter in the north cannot be implicated with the princess.

"With your cleverness, the Empress Dowager appointed you as the head of the Anbei Metropolitan Protector this time, you must have understood his intentions."

"Yes, Xia Guan does have some ideas."

"Now that you have understood, the slave family doesn't have to beat around the bush, let's put it bluntly, some time ago, the southern land was a mess mixed up by the traitor Xu Jingye, and there were also people in the court who fought against the Queen Mother, which made my Tang Dynasty a mess, and at this time, those alien races in the north had different hearts, according to the secret agent of the Anbei Protectorate, the remnants of the Eastern Turks, Ashina Gu Dulu established a tooth tent in Zongcai Mountain, recruited Turkic remnants wantonly, and tried to re-establish the Turkic struggle for power, and the nine surnames of Tiele in the north were also ambitious, vainly trying to expand the territory, Fighting everywhere on the grassland, this war is about to burn to the door of my Tang family, for this reason, the Queen Mother specially asked you to go and find out. Shangguan Wan'er explained.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's explanation, Duan Jian was not surprised, in the eyes of outsiders, the history of the Tang Dynasty is extremely majestic, the territory is huge, not to mention that there are no ancients before and no one after him, it is also extremely rare, and in foreign conquests, it is also extremely powerful, but for Duan Jian, these are bullshit.

The prestige of the Tang Dynasty in history is not small, but militarily, it is more than one defeat and few victories, in addition to the founding period, defeated many foreign races, in later things, most of them relied on extremely arduous conquests to achieve victory, just a few, the loss of more than 100,000 people more than the defeat, there are many battles.

Of course, this is not to say that Datang's combat power is not good, on the contrary, Datang's combat power is also extremely rare in history, powerful cavalry, indestructible Modao military formation, even in hindsight, is extremely shocking, the reason why there are so many defeats is related to Datang's policy towards foreign races, and it is also related to the struggle of the upper echelons of Datang.

"What does the Empress Dowager want to do, to find out the details of Ashina Gu Dulu or Tiele Zhubu or take the opportunity to launch an offensive and completely exterminate them." When he said this, Duan Jian was extremely confident.

With the powerful combat power of the Tang Army, as long as there are no accidents in command, it is not a big deal to exterminate a newly established tooth tent.

"No, although everything seems to be normal in the court now, but in fact, it is only calm on the surface, and there are endless crises in secret, so the Queen Mother does not want any accidents at this time, for the affairs of the north, it is the best way to deal with it, it just so happens that the largest surname among the nine surnames of Tiele, the patriarch of the Uighur tribe Aledo, has just succeeded to the throne, and wants to ask my Tang Dynasty to give him a marriage, and the Queen Mother also agreed, therefore, this time I hope you can escort the princess to go so that you can find out, If the Uighurs are really willing to form an alliance with my Tang Dynasty, then give the princess to Aledo. ”

"What, marriage."

Hearing this, Duan Jian couldn't help but snort angrily.

For the two most powerful Han dynasties in Chinese history, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Duan Jian still admired it very much, but he was extremely disgusted with one of the policies of these two dynasties, that is, marriage.

In Duan Jian's view, the dynasty is strong, relying on national strength and force, not the reward of one or two women, but for the emperors of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, whether they are strong or not, they will reward one or two princesses and those people of different races to kiss each other, as if it does not show the majesty of my Chinese Celestial Empire, but I don't know that this kind of thing is extremely brainless in the eyes of those people of different races.

Relying on some useless oaths and flattery, you can get the protection of the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time you can get women and wealth from the Han people, women are used to give birth to the next generation, wealth is used to gather subordinates, and when the opportunity is right and they are strong again, they once again carry a saber and rush into the territory of the Han people in blood, burning, killing and looting.

Therefore, after hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Duan Jian was so excited.

Looking at Duan Jian, who was suddenly excited, Shangguan Wan'er felt that there was a difference, in his impression, although this kid was extremely capable of causing trouble, he had always looked confident, and he had never seen such an emotional behavior like now.

"Why, what do you think?"

"I ........."

Even if Duan Jian was furious in his heart, he knew at this time that he couldn't change anything at all, even if he was not satisfied, this kind of thing would not change.

"Dare to ask Miss Shangguan, I don't know who the palace master who was selected for peace this time."

Although he knew that he couldn't change anything, Duan Jian still opened his mouth to ask, he wanted to know whether it was that unfortunate woman who would become a victim of this political activity.

"The biological daughter of the first emperor and the empress dowager, Princess Li Lingyue of Taiping."

"Boom ........."

When the words of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue entered Duan Jian's mind, Duan Jian was completely stunned, he couldn't have imagined that this tragic candidate would actually be this woman who left countless legends in history.

Some people say that Princess Taiping is a pathetic woman, because before Xue Shao was killed, she was just an ordinary woman, who taught her husband and children at home, and never interfered in court politics.

Some people also say that Princess Taiping is a woman similar to Wu Zetian, which is because in the later period of Wu Zetian's reign, there were many times when he wanted to pass the throne to Princess Taiping, and at the same time, he was supported by many ministers.

Some people also say that Princess Taiping is a tragedy of the times, as a princess, she can't make her own decisions, she can only watch her favorite husband be killed by her mother, and then she wants to marry a person she hates very much.

............

There are too many legends about Princess Taiping, but even so, Princess Taiping is extremely mysterious in history, some people say that his name is Li Lingyue, some people say that she is called Li Taiping, no matter what, for Princess Taiping, Duan Jian can be said to be a long time, not a man's desire for a woman, but a pure fan's desire for idols.

It's just that what Duan Jian couldn't think of was why Wu Zetian chose to let Princess Taiping go this time, you know, Wu Zetian is ruthless, but he likes Princess Taiping very much, not to mention that he wants to be popular, but he is also pampered, like this kind of thing that can be done by finding a daughter of a clan, how can he let his favorite biological daughter go, this is something that Duan Jian can't explain.

"It's really Princess Taiping." Duan Jian asked again with some uncertainty.

"Why, you said that you are deaf, or are you stupid, the slave family just said, it is the biological daughter of the first emperor and the queen mother, Princess Tianping, are these quite clear?"

After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er took the lead in entering the princess's mansion.

Because of Shangguan Wan'er's leadership, Duan Jian was not troubled by the janitors, but those people looked at Duan Jian with extremely strange eyes, like doubts, and like scrutiny, which made Duan Jian extremely uncomfortable.

At the gate today, there were palace maids who came to greet them, of course, Duan Jian would not be so sentimental as to think that these people were here to greet him.

"The slave and maid greet the official girl, the princess has been waiting in the guest room for a long time, and the slave and maid will take you over."

Although he said that, he didn't know if it was psychological, Duan Jian always felt that the palace maid would glance at him from time to time.

According to Duan Jian's experience over the years, it can be judged that the eyes were not curious, but with a little resentment, which made Duan Jian feel even more uneasy, I don't know why such a palace maid of the princess's mansion actually showed resentful eyes to herself, could it be that her body had some bad relationship with this palace maid before.

Duan Jian followed the palace maid and Shangguan Wan'er as she walked, thinking wildly in her heart.

Although the courtyard is not small, several people are not satisfied, and soon they arrived at the place of hospitality.

As soon as a few people walked to the door, they suddenly heard a pretty figure flash inside.

"Sister Shangguan, you are finally here, this palace has been waiting for you for a long time, you haven't been here for a long time, don't you like me anymore."

Looking at the figure rushing to her side, Shangguan Wan'er also showed a doting look on her face, pulled her arm and said, "What you said, it seems that I am a lucky person, Niangniang is busy with official business, how can I, a slave, go out innocently, you see, as soon as I am free today, I am not here in a hurry." ”

Saying this, Shangguan Wan'er quietly gave Li Lingyue a dead look.
