readx; Early in the morning, a quaint style carriage drove out of the Wubenfang, slowly driving in the direction of Xishi, the carriage was surrounded by more than 100 cavalry guards, showing the identity of the owner of the carriage, many passers-by saw the carriage, will stop and salute it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Many people in Wubenfang know that this carriage is Princess Zhao's carriage, at this time the owner of the carriage, Dugu Mingyue, is sitting on the car, she leans against the window, looking at the situation outside the car through the thin embroidered curtain, the outside of the car is very familiar to her, although her eyes seem to be very originated, but her eyes seem to be a little absent-minded.

She is going back to Dugu Mansion, she has been thinking about one thing repeatedly in the past few days, that is, her sister Mingzhu's lifelong event, since Mingzhu went to Jiangnan with Li Qing'an, Mingyue knew that she could no longer oppose her sister's choice.

My sister is willing, her mother also insists, and even last night, her husband officially proposed this matter, expressing his willingness to marry Mingzhu, almost everyone supports Mingzhu, Mingyue feels that if she persists, she can only hurt everyone, last night she almost stayed awake all night, thinking about this matter over and over again, she felt that she needed to talk to her mother again, and finally confirmed this matter.

The carriage walked for a quarter of an hour, entered Yanshoufang, and stopped in front of Dugu Mansion, a family member had already come to report first, and in front of the mansion, Mrs. Pei had already led more than a dozen maids to wait on the steps.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the steps, several maids came up and helped Mingyue down from the carriage, on the steps, Mrs. Pei was paying attention to her daughter's every move, paying attention to her dress, paying attention to every detail of her, she found that her daughter would only use three fingers when helping the door handle of the car, the ring finger and little finger were slightly cocked, coupled with her slender and white hands, it gave people a pleasing beauty.

Her daughter is already a mother of two children, but her skin is white and elastic, and she does not feel sagging and old after giving birth to two children.

Her every move and gesture has a kind of graceful atmosphere, her dress is also gorgeous but not vulgar, noble but not forced, is a subtle, not obvious extravagance, thinking that her daughter will be the mother of the world, become the queen admired by all the people, Mrs. Pei's eyes are a little moist, she feels a kind of pride, a kind of heartfelt joy.

Mrs. Pei heard her husband say that recently, many people inside and outside the court have proposed that the little emperor abdicate, and the little emperor is only three years old and cannot afford the heavy task of reviving the Tang Dynasty.

But Chang'an City also recognized that Li Qing'an's ascension to the throne was only a matter of time, which made Mrs. Pei infinitely emotional, eight years ago, when she saw Li Qing'an for the first time, she still felt dissatisfied, a little thought that his official position was too low, just a small Zhonglang general, but who would have thought that he would be a clan, and one day he would ascend the throne as the emperor, if someone told her eight years ago, she would not believe it, but now, she also has to sigh at the wonder of the god of fate.

This is the god of fate's favor for the Dugu family, who would have thought that a whim of the old man Dugu back then asked Li Qingan to go on a blind date, which actually changed the fate of the Dugu family, this is the arrangement of fate, and it has an advantage over the Pei family.

"Mother!"

Mingyue saluted her mother slightly, and Mrs. Pei hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, looked back and said with a smile: "Why didn't my two grandsons bring them?" ”

"Tan'er was a little cold the day before yesterday and was unwell, so he didn't let him go out."

"Does it matter?

Mrs. Pei asked worriedly, "Have you invited an imperial doctor?" Mingyue, you can't be careless! ”

She looked a little nervous, the two children are the foundation of Mingyue's life, but she can't be careless, Mingyue smiled, "Mother, it's okay, it's just that I feel a little cold when playing in the snow, I was already much better yesterday afternoon, and I will be fine if I recuperate for another day today." ”

Mingyue held her mother's hand, and while the two were talking and laughing, they walked into the house, and they sat down in the inner room, and a maid served them tea.

Mrs. Pei waved her hand and asked all the maids around her to go down, she closed the door, and then came back and asked her daughter in a low voice: "When are you going to prepare for the matter of Da Lang?" ”

"What does Mother mean?" Mingyue didn't understand.

"Hey! What else could there be. ”

Mrs. Pei looked to both sides, lowered her voice again, and said, "Of course it's a matter of ascending the throne!" ”

"Oh! He talked to me about it last night. ”

"And what did he say?" Mrs. Pei was a little nervous, now there are various statements, and I don't know if that statement is true, of course, Li Qingan's pillow words are the most true, and she is waiting for her daughter's answer with great expectations.

Mingyue didn't want to say it, but if she didn't say it, her mother would be unhappy, she hesitated for a long time before she said: "Then my mother promised me that except for my father, I must not spread it again, and my father can't go out to talk about it." ”

Mingyue is actually not worried about her father, her father is very deep in the city, and he will not speak casually at the family meeting, he will never go out to talk about this kind of thing, she is just worried about her mother, afraid that her mother will not know the severity, she told again: "This matter is very important, it is related to the vital interests of many people, and my mother must not spread it." ”

"Alas! Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, can't I even tell the difference between this and the heavy? Just tell me! Save me from sleeping. ”

Mingyue said slowly: "The night before yesterday, Da Lang secretly entered the palace and met with the Queen Mother......

"You mean he secretly entered the palace at night?"

Mrs. Pei couldn't help but interrupt her daughter's words, she felt a little uncomfortable, she secretly entered the palace to see the Queen Mother at night, this statement seems a bit ambiguous, the Queen Mother Shen is also very young, not yet thirty years old, there will be nothing wrong! But she thought about it again, maybe it was a big deal, so she entered the palace at night, and she saw that her daughter didn't seem to care, so she smiled self-deprecatingly, really, her daughter didn't care, she was worried about something, she hurriedly said: "You go on, I won't interrupt you." ”

In fact, Mingyue was more or less suspicious, but she didn't say anything about this kind of thing, let alone interrogating her husband, the last time Yang Guifei mattered, her husband was extremely dissatisfied with her, and he indifferent her for nearly a month, until she agreed to let Yang Guifei enter the palace to cultivate, and the matter was over.

With Yang Guifei's lesson, she didn't want to ask more about Shen Zhu's matter, she believed that her husband would not do anything stupid, Mingyue continued: "Da Lang said that he has reached a compromise with the Empress Dowager Shen, and the Empress Dowager will announce that the little emperor will abdicate due to physical weakness at the appropriate time next year, as for when next year, Da Lang said that the time is ripe to completely quell Shi Siming's rebellion." ”

"Then did you say when Shi Siming's rebellion will be quelled?" Mrs. Pei continued to ask, this is the key.

"I don't know, but I've heard that I'm already preparing for war, maybe it's spring!"

Mingyue sighed softly, last night her husband said that he might go on the expedition in person, which made her worry again, she has only been back for a few months, is she going to go on the expedition again?

The two were silent for a while, and Mingyue suddenly remembered that she hadn't said anything about her business today, she smiled, "Look at me, I forgot about today's business, it's about Mingzhu." ”

"Pearl?"

Mrs. Pei became nervous all of a sudden, if there was anything more important to her than Li Qing'an being the emperor, it was the marriage of her youngest daughter Mingzhu, which was a big trouble for her, she had been tormenting her for so many years, and she also wanted to fulfill her youngest daughter, but it has not been successful in the past few years.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help but glance at Mingyue vigilantly, the eldest daughter was the most fierce opponent of this matter, she wouldn't set up obstacles again!

Mingyue felt the vigilance in her mother's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Mother, the reason why I objected at the beginning was that I didn't want the Dugu family to be too strong, Mu Xiu was in the forest, and the wind would urge it, but in fact, my father no longer asked about government affairs, except for my brother, the talents of the other Dugu children were not outstanding, and at most they could only serve in one county, far from being as talented as the Pei family and the Cui family, so it was difficult for the Dugu family to be strong, since this was the case, there would be no obstacle for Mingzhu to marry into the Li family, and at the latest Dalang had officially proposed it to me." , he decided to marry Mingzhu. ”

Mrs. Pei's eyes flickered, and until she heard the end, she suddenly asked, "Did Da Lang use the word "marrying?" ”

This is very important, this is related to her youngest daughter's status in the palace in the future, Mingyue understood her mother's thoughts, so she laughed, "It doesn't matter if it's practical to marry or to marry, it doesn't matter, Da Lang has promised last night, Mingzhu is at least one of the nine concubines." ”

"Nine concubines!"

Mrs. Pei's face showed disappointment, although the nine concubines were not low, but Li Qingan did not have any wives and concubines, she thought that the youngest daughter was at least one of the four concubines, noble, gentle, virtuous, and virtuous, at least one of them, but she didn't expect that it was only nine concubines, which made her sigh secretly, but she also understood in her heart that the eldest daughter was already the queen, if the younger daughter took another concubine, then the Dugu clan would really be intolerable by the world, one queen and one concubine, this is the best match, but a little wronged the younger daughter.

"Alright! When will that pearl pass the door? "Mingzhu is not young anymore, she doesn't want to dream more at night.

Mingyue lowered her head and thought about it, then said: "This is what my daughter came to discuss with her mother, Da Lang has no opinion, but I think it's best to wait until the big thing is decided." ”

Mrs. Pei knew what Mingyue meant by the big event, that is, Li Qing'an's accession to the throne, she frowned, "Is it a little too late?" ”

"Actually, it's not a matter of time, but whether Mingzhu enters the palace or the palace, I thought about it all night last night, I think that since Mingzhu is going to marry the Li family, it can't be like Pei Wan'er, send it quietly, my sister should have a canonization ceremony, it should be very formal and grand, mother, this is to lay the foundation for her to slowly ascend to the throne in the future."

Mingyue sighed, "I'm her sister, I don't want my sister to marry so casually, I want her to marry beautifully, this is my long-cherished wish." ”

Mrs. Pei nodded, she was worried that it was just a long night and a lot of dreams, but since Mingyue had agreed, there would be no problem, of course, it was better to be officially canonized than to marry the past secretly, in that way, she would not be wronged by her little daughter.

"Well, that's how we'll decide."

．．．．．．．．．

The news of An Lushan's death has reached Chang'an, which has encouraged the army, and the morale of the Tang army is high, and An Lushan's death can be said to be a turning point, which means that the rebels are beginning to decline, and the war is about to end.

However, the Tang Army's preparations for war were still actively carried out, and the two million loads of forage transferred from the Fengxiang warehouse were piled up in the warehouse of Sinong Temple in the western suburbs of Chang'an, and began to be sent to Taiyuan, and the grain from the official warehouses in Hedong was also transferred to Taiyuan in a concentrated manner.

There are also war horses, 100,000 Dawan war horses were also sent to Taiyuan from Hexi, and the household department allocated a million military expenses, in addition, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen under the supervision of weapons who are working day and night to build weapons, especially arrows, according to the calculation of 100,000 troops, two pots of arrows per person, then six million arrows are needed.

This time in the northern expedition, arrows will be the most relied on weapon of the Tang army, this time to meet the northern nomads, and it will also be the largest battle of the Tang army after the destruction of Tibet.

There will be 200,000 elite troops gathered in Taiyuan Mansion, using Taiyuan Mansion as a base, marching north, and sending the troops back to Fu.

Li Qing'an came to the camp of Bashang early in the morning, there are 80,000 garrisons here, the main general Li Sheng, the army in Shuzhong has all withdrawn, Li Guangbi has led the army back to Henan, there are currently 50,000 garrisons in Shuzhong, of which Xi Yuanqing is the governor of Dongchuan with 20,000 troops, Zhao Chongyu with 30,000 troops is the governor of Xichuan, and Cui Guangyuan with 20,000 troops is the protector of Annan, and the rest of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty have been disarmed and returned to the field.

A day's training had already begun in the Bashang camp, and Li Qingan listened to Li Sheng's report as he walked.

"This three-month intensive training is mainly based on horsemanship and crossbows, and the brethren from the Anxi Army have little problem, mainly the soldiers of the Central Plains, whose riding skills are obviously weak, and they must use the most brutal training to make them qualified cavalrymen within three months."

"What kind of cruelty law?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"With the long-distance running training, 20,000 soldiers have been divided into 20 groups and gone to Guannai Dao one after another, and they will come back in a month, and within this month, the soldiers cannot leave their saddles, and they must sleep on their horses, only in this way can they become one with the horses, and they can compete with the Uighurs who have lived on horseback since childhood."

Li Qing'an nodded, he never asked about the specific training method, at this time, he walked to the side of a school field, and saw three hundred soldiers lined up in three rows, practicing three sections of crossbow shooting, a round of ten arrows, the soldiers rose and fell, like waves undulating, a 'click! Click! The sound of the crossbow machine sounded, and the dense crossbow arrows were like flying locusts, shooting towards the scarecrow a hundred paces away.

"Those two soldiers are okay!"

Li Qing'an pointed to the two soldiers on the edge and said with a smile: "Their speed is very fast, according to their speed, the Hui cavalry is within 100 steps, they can send five arrows, an average of 20 steps and one arrow, yes, this speed is very fast, all the soldiers should take them as the standard, and reach their speed." ”

At this time, the two soldiers had already called Li Sheng, and the two knelt down on one knee and saluted, Li Qingan asked them with a smile: "What are your names?" Where are the people? ”

The two immediately replied loudly, one is called Li Jianfeng, a native of Nanzheng, and the other is called Song Lun, who is from Fengxiang, both of whom have been in the army for three years.

Li Qing'an asked them again how long they had been shooting crossbows, but the answer was surprising, both of them had only practiced for three months, and they used to be archers.

At this time, even Li Sheng couldn't help but admire, sure enough, he was talented, Li Qingan encouraged them, and the two went back, and then smiled at Li Sheng: "This time, many people persuaded me to stay in Chang'an, don't go north, what is your opinion?" ”

"I also think that the general should stay in Chang'an, now Chang'an is more important than the Hui, and to fight the Hui, we can go, and the general has to consider the whole world."

"Hmm!" Li Qingan sighed, "I'll think about it again!" If I don't go, I'm going to make Siye the chief general of the West Road and you the deputy general; Li Guangbi is the chief general of the East Route Army, and Tian Qianzhen is the deputy general, and you each led 100,000 troops from Hedong and Hebei to Mobei at the same time. ”

"But, isn't Li Guangbi going to attack Shi Siming?"

"You're thinking too simply!" Li Qingan shook his head and said with a smile: "Now there is no difference between Shi Siming and the Hui people. ”
