Chapter 739: Capturing Princess Taiping Alive
After a while, Princess Taiping woke up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She exchanged helpless glances with Cui Xiang, and walked in.
When he entered the gate, he saw a white-haired and silver-bearded old Taoist and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the three distinguished guests?" ”
Cui Xiang made up a lie, and Lao Dao didn't ask in detail after listening to it, so he introduced the three of them into the living room. The three of them were so tired that they had to follow him.
"You two haven't eaten yet, have you? Poor Dao has prepared tea and rice, if the three of you don't dislike it, please eat here. ”
After that, Lao Dao asked someone to bring out a big bowl from the backyard, which was steaming millet porridge. The three of them are also informal, scooping and eating. Then, Lao Dao brought wotou and sauerkraut, which were coarse foods that Princess Taiping had never eaten. But in hunger, that millet porridge can be compared to her favorite Spring and Autumn Warring States court snack "Gui Pi Quail Soup", and that nest is better than the "Queen Mother Cake" that Empress Dowager Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, loves to eat.
After eating and drinking, Hui Fan asked, "Dao Chief, is there a market town near here?" ”
"There is a market town five or seven miles to the south."
"I want to go to the market to sell some clothes and food, the two of them are here, please take care of them." Hui Fan said goodbye to Princess Taiping Yiyi, of course, he didn't forget to give Cui Xiang a look, and strode down the mountain.
Less than an hour after Hui Fan left, I only heard the neighing of the horses under the mountain, and the soldiers all over the mountain surrounded him, and the leader was Hui Fan, who was absolutely trusted by Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping and Cui Xiang were captured. She sneered and looked at Hui Fan, who turned her head away from her gaze.
Princess Taiping was escorted back to Chang'an and locked up in a secluded courtyard in Princess Taiping's mansion, and Li Longji sent a large number of soldiers to surround Princess Taiping's mansion.
Princess Taiping asked to see the imperial brother, and Princess Taiping knew that only Li Dan could save him.
Li Longji knew this better, so he must not let his father know, and only said that Princess Taiping had escaped without a trace and had not yet been found.
Li Long could basically kill Princess Taiping, but he felt that it was too cheap to kill her like this. She was so hateful that she teased me many times in front of the court, insulted me, poisoned me, assassinated me, and used all kinds of means. Be sure to let her meet her before she dies, and let this tough woman taste the pain of a loser.
"Auntie is above, please bow to my little nephew." Li Longji came to the courtyard where Princess Taiping was being detained and asked her for peace.
"It's rare that you have this piece of filial piety, so you don't have to." Princess Taiping said calmly.
"My aunt was frightened, and my little nephew came to ask for guilt."
"When soldiers fight, the defeated should be humiliated, what is the crime?"
"There are a lot of aunts, but not as many nephews."
"Actually, you're not as good as that."
"Auntie, please."
"Perhaps, your writing is beyond my reach, but in addition, when it comes to strategy, strategy, and change, you are not my aunt's opponent. I think that when the Queen of Heaven was in power, I was the only one among the ten brothers and sisters who came over smoothly. They died and degraded, but I was able to live like a fish in water in the cracks. What about you? If it weren't for Zhang Bao'er to help you, how could you be complacent today, now that you have a small victory, get carried away, and put on a majestic ...... in front of your aunt"
"Auntie, you ......"
"Also, that operation to exterminate Webster, if it weren't for Zhang Bao'er, how could you be today?"
"Auntie, I'm grateful to him ......"
"This is the place where you slip your head, with Zhang Baoer's support, if he is willing to help me, it will not be you standing here today. On the surface, you pretend to push this and give that one, and behind your back, you make a stumbling block, and in the end it is none other than you. The crown prince has become the emperor, the emperor has also become the emperor, and the reputation of humility has also been ......" Speaking of this, Princess Taiping said disdainfully: "But compared to my aunt and me, what are you?" ”
"My aunt's ability is admired by my nephew."
"Then you let this, let that, why didn't you think of letting me ......" Princess Taiping suddenly asked.
"Auntie, because you're a woman."
"Hahaha, you're right. But I ask you, why can't women? ”
"This has been the case since ancient times, and it is justified." Li Longji is serious.
"What 'heavenly scriptures', what 'earthly righteousness'? It's all made up by people, to be precise, by you men. However, this was rarely heard in the era of Emperor Zetian, and whoever said that anyone's official position, fortune and head could not be kept. It can be seen that 'natural righteousness' is far less important than official position, fortune and head. ”
"My aunt thinks so highly of women, but today you ......"
"I am also defeated by you men today, Lu Xiangxian, Hui Fan, and my son Xue Chongjian, who betrayed me, are all men......"
"Auntie, I see that you are old, you have changed your temper, and you live in this palace, regardless of political affairs, and spend your old age quietly, which is also considered the last bit of filial piety ......for your nephew."
"Into the cold palace? Right here? ”
"Isn't that good?"
"Let me go back to the villa, let me live freely ......"
"I'm afraid the people's hearts won't be able to ......"
"Then let me die!"
Li Longji shook his head and said goodbye to his aunt.
Princess Taiping turned her face inward and didn't even look at him.
……
It was night, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the thunder was coming from far and near. On the table in Princess Taiping's house, there were full of dishes, and Princess Taiping and Cui Xiang sat opposite each other.
At this time, Princess Taiping's cloud bun was towering, and the phoenix hairpin was swaying, setting off her fair and fat face. Dressed in a red silk jacket, the apricot yellow soft gauze skirt is high on the plump chest. Wearing a pair of high-toed cirrus boots embroidered with gold thread at his feet, he sat there, as if waiting for the court.
Princess Taiping sighed, she was only a little over fifty, and she didn't look old, didn't her mother ascend the throne at the age of sixty-two? Princess Taiping doesn't want to see anyone, she doesn't want others to leave the image of a loser, and now only Cui Xiang can accompany her.
"Cui Xiang, come, let's have a drink!" Princess Taiping raised her glass.
Cui Yu didn't speak, just silently raised his glass and drank it all.
Princess Taiping saw that Cui Xiang was silent, thinking that he was worried about his future, so she persuaded: "Don't worry, although I lose, we still have our lives." I know Brother Huang too well, he won't kill me no matter what, as long as I don't die, you'll be fine. When the time comes, I will go to Jiangnan with you, change my name and surname, and go to live a dull life of male farmers and female weavers. ”
……
Just as Princess Taiping and Cui Xiang were drinking, in the bedroom of Emperor Li Dan of the Xianchi Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Dan was also talking to Zhang Baoer and Li Longji.
Li Dan looked at Li Longji and Zhang Bao'er standing in front of him, his face distorted sharply, and after a while, he gradually calmed down.
"Taiping is alright, right?" Li Dan's first sentence was to ask Princess Taiping.
