"What? Marriage? Emperor Yongli opened his mouth wide and shouted out with a shocked face: "You want to marry yourself to Wang Huan?" ”

"Yes." Princess Changping nodded firmly, her face was like a pool of autumn water, without a trace of ripples.

"Why? Did Wang Yingxiong say something to you? Emperor Yongli frowned: "This person also had the idea of marrying me, because it involves the face of the royal family, I have never expressed my position, could it be that this old man found you directly?" ”

Princess Changping shook her head and said, "Governor Wang didn't say anything to me, this idea was thought up by myself, and it has nothing to do with Governor Wang." ”

Yongli's brows furrowed deeper, staring at Changping and said: "The marriage minister, it's not a big deal, there are ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties have carefully selected young men as concubines, and this dynasty is no exception. However, I only have one daughter under my knees, who is less than three years old, and it is difficult to marry Wang Huan, so I wanted to choose one of the palace maids, adopt her as an adopted daughter, and marry Wang Huan as a princess, but the time is urgent, and I haven't had time to prepare. ”

He looked at Changping meaningfully and said: "The princess is willing to marry Wang Huan, the age is appropriate, but the princess is the daughter of the first emperor, although she is my niece, but her status is noble, and Wang Huan is just a common people, humble as grass mustard, his stepmother Qin Liangyu also lives in the barbarian Tusi, there are no well-educated people in the clan, and there is no power of the huge room, the princess is married, it is too wronged!" ”

Chang listened quietly, and after Yongli finished speaking, the long eyelashes on his cheeks blinked slightly, looking as good as a butterfly flapping its wings, his bright eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Emperor Yongli and said: "The emperor has a deep meaning, Changping understands, but as the emperor said, except for Changping, there is no other princess who is suitable, and the emperor hastily accepts a palace maid as a princess, which is perfunctory. And Changping has suffered all his life, what grievances have not been seen or suffered, and he has long been indifferent to the level of the family, and Changping has lost an arm and has become disabled, Pingliangbo is a young hero, majestic, Changping married him, but it was a little insulting to the hero, and asked the emperor to lobby carefully. ”

Emperor Yongli snorted in his nostrils and said: "Royal princess, golden branches and jade leaves, even if you are missing, what if you are missing?" Uncle Ping Liang is just a young martial artist, to be able to get such a noble woman as a princess, and to be able to form a relative with my royal family, is to give him a great favor, forgive him for not daring to be picky, no need for someone to lobby, I will send someone to invite Wang Yingxiong to come tomorrow, let him be a matchmaker, send news to Shizhu, and set this family business. ”

He turned his head and said to Princess Changping again: "It's just that the princess is here, have you really made up your mind?" Once married, you have to go with Pingliangbo, whether it is in the northwest or southwest, either desolate and bitterly cold, or damp and cold, it is not as prosperous as this capital, and the hard days can be long. ”

Changping smiled faintly, and his fair face showed a decisive meaning: "Changping Country is ruined, since the time when the father's sword fell, he should have turned into a ghost in the underworld, and he can survive until now, but because of his father's obsession to take revenge and save his younger brother, as long as he can slash the enemy, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire do not matter?" ”

Emperor Yongli sat upright and bowed to Changping: "In this way, I am too worried." ”

Changping raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is just a strong external aid, but this internal trouble is still there, although Hui Guogong is anyway, but this person is ambitious and unruly, and he is a big trouble sooner or later, and the emperor must be more careful." ”

When Yongli heard this, he was sad, and sighed weakly: "I know, but Huiguo Gong has a strong army, and the court relies on him to support him, even if he knows that he is lawless, he has the right to do it." ”

Changping also sighed: "Changping also knows, but tonight, Li Yuanyin actually sent someone to assassinate Ping Liangbo and Wang Dashi, which is too arrogant." ”

Yongli was startled, and his heart was like a boulder: "What? Assassinate? He asked anxiously: "Is there anything wrong with Uncle Ping Liang and Master Wang?" ”

"The two of them have a good hand guard, but fortunately they are safe and sound." Princess Changping said.

Emperor Yongli's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he said continuously: "Good, good, good, it's good if there's nothing to do, it's good if there's nothing to do." ”

He slapped the low table again, and said with disgust: "This Li Yuanyin, how can it be so reasonable, it's too much!" I didn't obey their wishes, and forcibly sealed the official titles of Wang Huan and others, and he openly assassinated, so jealous, it was as unreasonable as a street gangster, how could it be justified, how could it be justified! ”

Changping persuaded: "The emperor please calm his anger, now it is his Li family, and he can't make a mistake, according to Wang Huan, the assassination was done very cleanly, and there was no evidence left, and it was not counted on Li Yuanyin's head, the emperor knew about it, and he would stay in his heart in the future."

Finish. ”

Emperor Yongli raised his hand that was a little red, first stunned, then gloomy for a while, fell back weakly, leaned on the armrest of the soft couch, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "Don't make a mistake?" They are the ones who make the second, not me......"

Changping raised his head and looked at the palace door, and saw that the carved gate was tightly closed, and there was no one else in the entire dormitory, except for himself and Yongli, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, this time you forcibly issued a decree and sealed the title of Wang Huan and others, which is equivalent to giving the Li family a signal, indicating that the emperor is not a puppet in their hands, although he breathed a sigh, but it also put the emperor in danger, Qin Zhao Gao pointed to the deer as a horse, and Gao Cheng beat Emperor Xiaojing in court in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, all of which are examples of the power of the emperor who is lawless and self-reliant, and now the children of the clan live in Guangdong and Guangxi, The emperor must beware of them secretly poisoning and choosing someone to set up another emperor. ”

Emperor Yongli's face turned white, and he felt even more powerless, spread out on the soft couch, unable to move, and was stunned without saying a word.

Changping also hung his head silently, thinking about his thoughts, and the huge palace suddenly fell silent, empty and silent, only when the giant candle burned, the occasional "crackling" sound brought a trace of sound to this hall where the air was almost stagnant.

……

In the palace, Princess Changping and Emperor Yongli conspired all night, and in the Kuizhou military camp outside the city, they also looked like they were facing a great enemy.

In Wang Huan's big tent, there is a long table, a huge map is spread out on the table, the map is rough, the scale is seriously distorted, and the mountains and rivers and rivers and cities drawn on it can only roughly see a direction, and it is not accurate.

But even so, this map was secretly bought by Wang Huan from the Zhaoqing Forbidden Army for a few hundred taels of silver, which is precious.

At this moment, the lights in the tent were bright, and Li Dingguo and other generals gathered around Wang Huan, staring at the map intently and listening to Wang Huan.

"This is a map of the whole province of Guangdong, which was drawn during the Wanli period of the imperial court, although it is scribbled, it can also be used. Gentlemen, please see, this is Zhaoqing, that is, where we are located, there are Ming soil on all sides, if we want to return to Sichuan, there are two ways to go, one is to come to the road, through Decheng through Wuzhou into Guangxi, Guangxi is the territory of Qu Shiyun, the governor Zhang Tongchang and the general soldier Jiao Lian, are his subordinates, from this road, it must not be as easy as when he came; The second is to go north to Huguang and enter Sichuan through the Shaoyang line, this road must pass through the territory of He Tengjiao and Plug Yinxi, which is also difficult to walk. Wang Huan pointed to the thin lines drawn by red cinnabar on the map and explained.

He snapped his fingers easily and said with a smile: "If we want to go back safely after beheading Li Yuanyin, we must plan our retreat first, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to kill more than 2,000 of us from hundreds of thousands of troops in Liangguang." ”
