Chapter 269: Two Princesses

Although this is the result of Hou Junji's assertions, no one can punish him. Now Hou Junji holds military power, and he has the support of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison state. After all, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the prison state, is now the nominal supreme power holder of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke stood up and asked Concubine Yang, "Mother, do you want to return to the mansion now to stabilize the order in the mansion?" Erchen can't let the palace be in chaos, this will make the officials and people in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, laugh. ”

Concubine Yang was still angry and said, "Ke'er, what are you doing when you go back?" Let Hou Junji's Zuo Qianniuwei army intimidate and warn you? You are the son of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can you be bullied by one of his courtiers? You stay here with the concubine first, you can't just go back, at least you can't go back so empty-handed and let people bully. ”

Li Ke replied very obediently: "Oh, I know, mother." ”

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu heard from Concubine Yang's words that Concubine Yang should have prepared a back hand for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, who could solve the current dilemma and get rid of the threat of Hou Junji.

Seeing that Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu were looking at her, Concubine Yang asked Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu: "What do our Southern Shi clan and Shandong Hao clan lack the most compared to the Guanlong aristocratic group?" Did you know? ”

After Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu looked at each other, they said in unison: "Military power!" The Guanlong aristocratic group has the support of the left and right guards of the twelve guards stationed in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and neither the Shandong Hao clan nor our southern Shi clan have the support of the army! ”

Concubine Yang sighed: "Yes, it's the power of the army." Although I concentrate on Buddhism and don't ask about miscellaneous matters, I have long seen that what our southern scholars lack most is military power. Ke'er, my only son, since he chose that path, although that path. I didn't want him to go, but he chose to do it. I, who is a concubine, can't support him now, and I can't watch him being bullied. ”

After that, Concubine Yang let her personal palace maid exchange for her two daughters - Princess Baling and Princess Qinghe.

Soon Princess Baling and Princess Qinghe came to the hall of the Ganlu Palace.

Princess Baling, sixteen years old this year, wears a white dress, fair skin, and looks gentle and demure; Princess Qinghe was only fourteen years old. Dressed in a red dress and with a red face, she looks unusually lively and cute.

After Princess Baling and Princess Qinghe entered the hall, they bowed generously to Concubine Yang. After saluting, Li Ke, the king of Shu, also stood up and bowed to his two sisters.

After a salute, Concubine Yang summoned her two daughters and summoned them to her side. Concubine Yang first took Princess Baling's hand and said, "Baling." How are you getting along with Chai Lingwu? What do you think of Chai Lingwu? ”

Chai Lingwu is the eldest son of Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei.

Chai Shao was born in Jiangmen, and when he was young, he became the Qianniu Bei (that is, personal guard and companion) of the former Sui Yuande Prince (the eldest son of Emperor Yang of Sui), and had a close relationship with the former Sui royal family. Emperor Yang of Sui also treated Chai Shao as a confidant. Soon, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, married his third daughter to Chai Shao. Out of jealousy of Li Yuan, although Emperor Yang of Sui no longer trusts Chai Shao so much, he still treats Chai Shao with a lot of kindness. Chai Shao has also been grateful. For the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, today's Concubine Yang is also respectful, and she is called a princess.

And Chai Lingwu's mother is now the third sister of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. The very famous princess of Pingyang in history - Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning, like His Majesty the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, King Xi Jiancheng, and King Yuanji of Qi, is the empress of the Emperor Taishang, Empress Dou, and is the concubine of the Emperor Li Yuan.

In that year, Emperor Taishang Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, and the former Sui arrested the family of Emperor Taishang Li Yuan in Chang'an City, and Chai Shao and Li Xiuning left Chang'an respectively. After Chai Shao left Chang'an, he went straight to Taiyuan to meet with the Emperor Li Yuan, Li Xiuning was responsible for dealing with the aftermath of Chang'an, as soon as she left Chang'an City, she heard that the Emperor Li Yuan had raised troops and began to attack Guanzhong. So she alone not only did not go to Taiyuan, but in the vicinity of Chang'an City with its extraordinary courage and ability to subdue the bandits, gather the victims, in just three months, the army reached 70,000, self-named "women's army", successively conquered more than ten counties near Chang'an, and many times with stratagem to defeat the former Sui general, Chang'an town guard general Qu Tutong. Later, with the women's army in his hands, he assisted Li Shimin, the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, who came to attack Chang'an City, and broke Chang'an in one fell swoop. Emperor Li Yuan canonized Li Xiuning as "Princess Pingyang". Pingyang is Pingyang, which means that everyone thinks that Li Xiuning is one of the chief heroes who overthrew the Yang clan of the Sui Dynasty, and his courage, ability, and achievements far surpass those of other Tang Dynasty heroes. It's a pity that the day is not a holiday, in the sixth year of martial arts, Pingyang princess Li Xiuning died of illness, and the entire Tang Dynasty made an exception to bury a woman with a "military salute", which has never been done in Chinese history.

Pingyang princess Li Xiuning had a particularly good relationship with the current Tang Emperor Li Shimin during her lifetime, and was Li Shimin's staunchest supporter. Therefore, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also had special favor and trust in Chai Shao and Chai Lingwu.

And Chai Shao, as the confidant and loyal supporter of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, used to be in frequent contact when Li Shimin was the king of Qin, and Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling have been in contact since childhood, admired each other since childhood, and have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.

Hearing Concubine Yang's question, Princess Baling shouted a little shyly: "Mother Princess." Then he blushed and looked down at the ground.

Concubine Yang understood her daughter's thoughts, and said to Princess Baling: "The mother concubine knows that you like the boy of the Chai family, and the boy of the Chai family also likes you." You're sixteen years old, and you're a big girl. The next time, when you see Chai Lingwu's boy, tell him that the mother concubine doesn't want you to wait any longer in vain, let his father Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, come to the palace to ask for him, and the mother concubine will be gracious, and when your father and emperor come back, they will handle your marriage. Originally, their Chai family should have thought of this a long time ago, and now I have you to remind them that if it weren't for the mother of the child, Princess Pingyang, who had gone early, the mother concubine would have scolded them for being a dog blood sprayer in the Chai family. Their carelessness has mistaken my daughter's youth for several years. ”

Princess Baling's face was flushed, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at the others, bowed to Concubine Yang, turned around, and left the Ganlu Hall quickly, excitedly going to tell Chai Lingwu the good news. (To be continued......)
