Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong's mansion, in the garden, Xu Jiaoyun, Yang Sisi, and Pei Yanrong are enjoying flowers and drinking tea. "≤ Ding" ≤ "≤ "≤, women usually talk about gossip together, and then which family in Chang'an City is handsome and handsome, and whose lady is married to a good husband. However, the current three daughters are not talking about these gossip scandals, but about the war in the northwest. Indeed, they are talking about His Royal Highness the Tang Crown Prince who went to the northwest.

For His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, they only have one side. But this is the fate that left a deep impact on them, first, that is, the prince's body and spirit are not as unbearable as rumored outside, and second, they found that the prince is not a cowardly person, but a handsome young man with a royal spirit.

With this distinctiveness, the third daughter was naturally attracted by Li Hong.

Xu Jingzong left Chang'an and followed Gaozong and Empress Wu to Luoyang, Pei Judao was escorting grain and grass for Li Hong, and Yang Sijian was serving by Li Hong's side. In this way, the three daughters have no one to control them in Chang'an City, so they naturally get together every day.

"Did you listen, the war in the northwest is very tragic!" Yang Sisi said with a look of surprise. No one would be surprised to be able to say such words from her mouth, because her father was on the Northwest Front, and their family naturally inquired most about the Northwest Front. And when she brought up this topic, the two girls didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

When Pei Yanrong heard Yang Sisi like this, the expression on his face became unnatural, and he said worriedly, "I don't know if Daddy will encounter danger when he goes to Hezhou this time." ”

As a gentle and amiable girl, Pei Yanrong often shows such a sad side.

"General Pei is just escorting grain and grass, and he will go to Chuxian with Sun Xiang, and it will be fine." Xu Jiaoyun comforted, as Xu Jingzong's woman, no matter how poor she is, she still knows some of the situation on the front line, and the children of eunuchs are more or less sensitive in politics, which is normal.

"Yes, Yanrong, don't think about it, you have to worry, I should be the most worried, because my father is following the prince and rushing to the forefront." Yang Sisi said with an unhappy face.

But the two girls present could tell that she was not worried about her father, but had a look of joy on her face.

Pei Yanrong may not know where Yang Sisi's joy comes from, but Xu Jiaoyun is not stupid, she knows why Yang Sisi is so happy when her father follows the prince on the front line, because Yang Sijian can get close to the prince by following the prince, and if you are close to the prince, you can climb the high branch of the prince, Xu Jiaoyun knows very well how to climb the high branch of the prince, that is, marry Yang Sisi to the prince as a concubine, and the prince will inherit the throne in the future, Yang Sisi will be the queen of the world, this is the real high branch.

Yang Sisi's happiness is actually to let himself climb to the high branch of the prince through his father.

I don't know why, thinking that Yang Sisi and Yang Sijian wanted to climb the crown prince Li Hong with such thoughts, Xu Jiaoyun's heart was very uncomfortable, so she frowned and asked, "Do you think the prince will rush to the front line?" ”

Pei Yanrong thought that Yang Sisi's father was by Li Hong's side, and in order to comfort Yang Sisi, he spoke, "The prince seems to be frail and polite, this time he went to the northwest front, Su Xiang did not object, and he will definitely not charge forward." ”

"Not necessarily! I heard that he has been practicing martial arts in the East Palace, and he likes to wear a combat knife, and this time he went to the Northwest Front in person, if you want to go to the front line to see, it is not in line with his style this time. Yang Sisi said, since the prince was booked in her heart, Li Hong naturally became her person, and as a woman, she liked Li Hong very much as a heroic figure.

Women always want their men to be a big hero, and that's a woman's specialty, and there's nothing wrong with that.

"I heard that the Tubo people dispatched 200,000 cavalry this time, and the northwest army was less than 100,000, so this battle is very difficult to fight." Xu Jiaoyun sighed, "I don't know how many people will have to die." However, Su Xiang can calmly sit in Chang'an City, it can be seen that the prince must have a perfect plan for this trip to the northwest, so let's wait for the news at home! ”

"Well, that's the way it can be!" Pei Yanrong sighed. Yang Sisi was contemplative and did not speak.

As soon as the three girls arrived in Li Hong, they seemed to fall into silence. Because at this time they have their own thoughts. At the age when their love is beginning to bloom, they naturally envy the kings who are high above and the heroes who fight on the battlefield. Now Li Hong has left a deep impact on them, and he is a prince who holds the power of the world, how can he not let the three daughters think about it.

Half a sound, Yang Sisi broke the silence and asked, "You, when will the prince marry the crown princess?" ”

This question was asked very suddenly, very unnutritious, and very untechnical, but Xu Jiaoyun and Pei Yanrong were also stunned, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Yang Sisi asked, but they both fell into deep thought.

"In another year, the candidate for the crown princess should also be determined, after all, the prince is almost sixteen years old, and he is about to reach the age of marriage." Xu Jiaoyun said in a low voice. I couldn't help but think of the figure of the crown prince Li Hong, as well as his faint smile and clean eyes.

"The prince's marriage, it is estimated that Your Majesty has already had an idea in his heart!" Pei Yanrong said, and the figure of the crown prince Li Hong suddenly appeared in her mind, with a very clear smile, very clean eyes, and a feeling that made her very down-to-earth when she thought of this man. Pei Yanrong was taken aback by this feeling, a sense of steadfastness is not something that anyone can give, if it is placed on a strange man, it means that you have fallen in love with him. But for Pei Yanrong, she has only seen the crown prince Li Hong, and she is not familiar with it, let alone understand, how can she like him?

"I wonder who this lucky woman will be?" Yang Sisi said with a yearning face, and she didn't hide the yearning in her heart in front of Xu Jiaoyun and Pei Yanrong.

Nonsense, many women do everything possible to enter the palace as concubines, don't they just want to be able to honor the world one day? Now that the crown prince Li Hong chooses a concubine, as long as she becomes the crown princess and Li Hong is the emperor, she will be the queen's mother, who doesn't want to marry the crown prince Li Hong?

Yang Sisi knew that not only herself, but also the two sisters in front of her also had such thoughts, so she did not hide her yearning. In terms of family, their Yang family is not as good as the Xu family, they can only be comparable to the Pei family, and his father is not as good as Xu Jingzong in terms of official positions, and he is only one stronger than Pei Judao. But in front of the two sisters, Yang Sisi felt that her scheming and wrist were definitely the most powerful. But anyone who enters the palace and becomes a concubine can go to the high position of the queen, and can live in this position for the rest of his life, without scheming and the city government and means, can he do it? So in this regard, Yang Sisi is very confident.

"Could it be that Sisi has this idea?" Xu Jiaoyun suddenly asked seriously, changing her joking appearance from the past.

Yang Sisi didn't answer and asked, "Who in the world doesn't want to marry His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Xu Jiaoyun smiled faintly, and there was nothing more, because she had already gotten the answer from Yang Sisi's mouth. Only Pei Yanrong was still in a daze, and her mind was still entangled in her complicated emotions towards the prince.

……

In Su Dingfang's mansion, in the study, Su Dingfang and Le Yanwei sat together and drank tea. Because all the government affairs west of Chang'an were sent to Luoyang, and all the military affairs in the northwest were sent to Li Hong, their government affairs in Chang'an were very relaxed, because life was very leisurely. However, because Li Hong is in the northwest, Le Yanwei can't sit still, so he will come to Su Dingfang's house to ask about the situation, more he wants to get a definite answer from Su Dingfang's mouth, the prince can come back safely from the northwest this time, and he will establish immortal merits.

"Su Xiang, the war between Hezhou and Liangzhou is so tragic, the situation on the prince's side seems to be very unoptimistic!" Le Yanwei opened his mouth and asked, as Li Hong's hardcore confidant, he was really worried about Li Hong.

"It's been a few days, and the Tubo people haven't captured Hezhou City and Liangzhou City, so it's clear that they're also in trouble." Su Dingfang analyzed, "If the Tubo people want to fight quickly, we will slowly consume their energy, we refuse to defend the city, and take advantage of the right time and place, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

Su Dingfang was very calm.

Indeed, as long as the pace of Lu Dongzan's army is delayed, relying on the tall and sturdy city, it can indeed prevent the Tubo army from invading the Tang Dynasty. But if it is so simple to solve the Tibetan army, it seems that there is a fool's dream. Who doesn't know that the real purpose of the Tubo army is in the Western Regions, which is to seize control of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions?

So Su Dingfang is like this, and Le Yanwei is not happy.

"Su Xiang doesn't seem to be too worried about the prince's trip to the northwest!" Le Yanwei asked rather unhappily. He felt that Li Hong was very kind to Su Dingfang, and everything that Su Dingfang was able to do now was all thanks to Li Hong, and Su Dingfang should be very worried about Li Hongcai, instead of acting very calm like now.

Actually, it's not that Su Dingfang isn't worried about Li Hong, it's just that he has been fighting bloodily for decades and has developed a high level of self-cultivation, which is not shown on his face.

"The prince of the northwest trip is going for a purpose, and everything has been arranged before he goes, and there will be no problems." Su Dingfang said, "Moreover, this trip to the northwest is very crucial for the prince, and it is useless for us to worry, so we can only support him behind our backs." ”

"Su Xiang seems to have something to say!" Le Yanwei asked.

Su Dingfang smiled and didn't answer Le Yanwei, and he didn't want to answer. Because Le Yanwei is the prime minister, many government affairs in Datang need to be handled by him, and Su Dingfang hopes that Le Yanwei can understand these things rather than know these things through him.

Just like this time, if the crown prince really wants to destroy Tubo, then, will Li Ji still need Li Ji to come forward in the future war against Goryeo?
