Chapter 1: Dinner

Someone has to do things such as detaining Wang Guifei and the crown prince and participating in the ban on civil and military officials, and Empress Gao will definitely not let Wang Guifei go in the palace, so she has to be forced to confess the details of the following crimes against the emperor. The loser deserves to be ruined, and he can't blame anyone.

The ministers are in charge of arranging officials to be responsible for various things of the national funeral, and as soon as the death knell on the palace gate rings, the entire Chang'an is shrouded in a sad atmosphere. For example, for Xue Chongxun, the real grief brought to him by Li Shouli's death is not even as real as the death of a girl in the family, and it has to make people sigh in their hearts.

Originally, according to the normal change of throne, as soon as the first monarch died, the crown prince should succeed to the throne in time before the coffin. But the current crown prince is naturally unable to succeed to the throne, so he has to support the new monarch. In the absence of a justifiable crown prince, it is a troublesome matter to help who ascend to the throne, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be done in a day or two. Xue Chongxun felt a little tired, so he didn't bother with this matter, and left the courtiers to deal with the situation in front of him.

He went to the Chengxiang Hall to see his mother, Princess Taiping, and then talked to Princess Jincheng, Daogu Yuqing and others, and then went out from Danfeng Gate.

When I walked to the palace gate, I suddenly felt a few cold raindrops on my face, and then I noticed that the sky had become gray at some point. I still saw the sun in the morning, the weather changes so fast, and there may be a period of rainy weather when spring comes.

Fang out of the Danfeng Gate, he saw one or twenty rows of armored cavalry troops neatly lined up on the street in front of the palace gate, and the person who rode a tall horse at the head was Zhang Wulang, and there were many familiar faces behind him, it turned out to be the Flying Tiger Regiment here. Zhang Wulang is currently serving in Jin Wuwei, and the captain of the Flying Tiger Regiment has changed several terms and is now Li Kuiyong, but Zhang Wulang, as the earliest commander of the Flying Tiger Regiment when it was formed, still has prestige in front of the soldiers.

When all the soldiers saw Xue Chongxun walking out in disheveled clothes, they all looked sideways at him, but Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment.

Xue Chongxun immediately understood the situation in front of him, most of the news of the palace coup d'Γ©tat spread, and the house slaves returned to the palace. Then the general of the Flying Tiger Regiment led the army to respond, but their current structure is assigned to the pro-kingdom, so naturally they have no permission to enter the imperial city, so they can only wait here.

"Xue Lang......" Zhang Wulang clenched his fists in his chest and saluted on his horse, he saw that Xue Chongxun was unharmed and his eyes were happy, but he didn't know where to start. Although Zhang Wulang looks good, his tongue is a bit wooden, and he is not as good as Bao Cheng (Bao Cheng is still in the Eastern Capital and is going to be the general of the river protection army).

Xue Chongxun spoke: "The shape is really unexpected, but fortunately, there is no danger. ”

Zhang Wulang glanced up at the sky and was silent. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this, probably he used to fool him often, but he wanted to talk about the weather on the battlefield, and Zhang Wulang probably felt that he had to fool him this time.

Xue Chongxun showed a smile and said: "The prince has rebelled, and now he has nothing to do, so he will return home." With that, he walked to his pine carriage, and when he was about to get into the car, he turned back and asked, "By the way, your daughter-in-law should give birth on the day, is it a man or a woman?" ”

Zhang Wulang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I received a letter some time ago, and I gave birth to a girl, and I went back to Chang'an to raise my body." ”

Xue Chongxun nodded, lowered his head and got into the carriage, knocked on the wooden plank of the carriage, and Pang Er, who was driving the carriage, whipped the horse. At this time, I heard a general shouting loudly: "Let's go, guard the front and rear!" ”

Then there was a burst of orders and answers, the horses' hooves snapped, and the cavalry ranks moved in an orderly manner. On the street of Chang'an, the capital, a car was actually escorted by two hundred heavily armed cavalry, and the battle was already very powerful, and the officials and pedestrians who were hiding from the rain under the eaves were all attracted to attention, most of them watched silently, and some exchanged ears.

A group of people walked south, and when Xue Chongxun lifted the curtain to look, he saw that the rain was falling even more, and the rain fell on those iron armor and splashed water one after another, and the pace of the guards was still not messy and orderly.

When he returned to the Jin Wang's Mansion in Anyi Fang, a slave ran over with an umbrella as soon as he stopped, and as soon as Xue Chongxun came out, he saw that the hall was full of people, in addition to the officials of the pro-kingdom and the family members in the house. Obviously, they are all waiting for themselves, Xue Chongxun was relieved when he saw this, and said in his heart: It turns out that so many people care about their own life and death, and in this respect, they are even a little stronger than the emperor. The officials and staff bowed one after another, and the family members also had a look of joy on their faces, Xue Chongxun looked left and right, and saw that Yuwen Ji of Yuwen Xiao's family had come. Something happened in the court, Xue Chongxun didn't think it was too dangerous, he felt more like a farce; But the people outside were nervous, and as soon as they came out, they saw so many people waiting for themselves.

Regardless of whether everyone cares so much because of security and interest connections, Xue Chongxun is still slightly moved in his heart, at least there are so many people in this world who remember that they are not.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a woman running into the rain, and the heavier and heavier rain immediately drenched her hair. Xue Chongxun fixed his eyes and saw that the person who ran over was the side concubine Cheng Ting.

After she ran over, regardless of everyone's eyes, she actually threw herself into Xue Chongxun's arms and cried. Xue Chongxun was stopped by the waist and hugged, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone's eyes were a little strange, but there was nothing strange about the woman holding him being a concubine, and everyone quickly returned to normal after being surprised.

Only Sun Shi was very moved, looking at the two steps under her feet, although she didn't make any moves or words, Xue Chongxun saw the sharp fluctuations in her feelings. People's hearts are delicate, and he can't help but think of Queen Gao as well, even if they are calm on the surface, in fact, sometimes their hearts are turning upside down, right? And some people exaggerate their words and deeds, but they may not have any ideas in their hearts.

Cheng Ting hugged Xue Chongxun tightly and cried, and Xue Chongxun gently patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, which was nothing more than "don't worry" and "it's okay" or something like that.

She cried for a while before she subsided, and it was only then that she realized that there were many people present, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Xue Chongxun didn't care, took her hand, took the slave's umbrella and walked towards the hall, while saying, "Everyone disperse, it's not too early to go home." Only then did the officials come up and sigh and warm for a while, and they all hugged their fists and said goodbye.

Xue Chongxun dealt with everyone one by one, and said that he would rest and go to the kingdom tomorrow. At this time, he did feel a little tired, and when he walked to Sun's side, he paused, and Sun said, "It's good that Xue Lang comes back safely." ”

"I'm sorry that the new clothes I just made were torn and I didn't find them." Xue Chongxun said.

Sun Shi was stunned and said: "It's just one thing to wear, and then to make a new one...... It was rare for Xue Lang to think about such a trivial matter. ”

Xue Chongxun replied casually and entered the door, "Is dinner ready?" ”

"Oh...... The kitchen should be done, Xue Lang said in the morning that he could catch up with dinner. ”

"No, I didn't break my promise." Xue Chongxun showed a smile.

…… Several people entered the mansion while gossiping inconsequentially, the Sun family was originally very worried about Xue Chongxun, and when he came back safely, it seemed that there were many words, but unexpectedly, it was like this again...... Only small things that don't matter can be said.

At first, when she saw Cheng Ting rushing over, she seemed to have an illusion, as if it was not Cheng Ting, but herself. In fact, after hearing the news of the palace change, she was frightened, and the one who felt the most should be Sun, because she had experienced a series of changes in her life before and after the coup d'Γ©tat, and she had a deep experience. At the beginning, it was Li Chengqi who lost his life, and their orphan daughter and widow were helpless and helpless, and they were finally unlucky, and Li Yaner was able to marry and rely on; If this kind of thing happens again, and the mother and daughter follow the path of widows, Sun really doesn't know how to persevere.

So she felt that she was crying with joy, and even threw herself into Xue Chongxun's arms, although it was just an illusion, her mother-in-law fell into her son-in-law's arms in front of everyone, so she really had to laugh at the world...... Unexpectedly, when it came time to meet, it was such a scene, and they talked about new clothes and dinner, and that's it.

So the Sun family didn't have anything to say, and they didn't even bother to ask about the situation in the palace, so they entered the mansion together in silence.

Walking to the corridor south of Xue Chongxun's living room, he turned around and said, "My lord, let's have dinner with us." ”

"Okay." Sun replied, and when he looked over, Xue Chongxun had already turned his head, and he could only see his side face. It did look a little tired, and Sun even felt a little vicissitudes.

She married into the Li Tang clan at the age of twelve or thirteen, and she has seen a lot of high-ranking and powerful people, some of whom have a very happy life, and she is drunk on wealth and wealth and is immersed in pleasure every day; has great ambitions such as Li Sanlang, self-confidence, calm and decisive, and a leftist who is a big man...... But it is rare to see Xue Chongxun like this, she neither thinks that Xue Chongxun is poor and luxuriant, and she does not feel that he has the confidence to be about to take on a great task, but he often looks like this when he goes home. It's very strange, it's not sad and sad, and it's not a nostalgia (they are all princes with different surnames). Sun was puzzled.

Unconsciously, she always paid attention to Xue Chongxun in her heart, probably because he was related to her life prospects, or for other reasons.

It is rare for the family to get together for dinner tonight, except for Princess Taiping, who is not awake, and Jincheng, who lives in Daming Palace, Xue Chongxun's family is almost together. In the small hall next to the living room, there was a table, and there were few dishes, because they had not been prepared in advance. After everyone sat together, there were actually few people, and Xue Chongxun's room was not very lively. Mother-in-law Sun, concubine Li Yan'er, side concubine Cheng Ting, and Yuwen Ji who will be sealed as a side concubine sooner or later, there are only a few people.

…… The sound of the rustling rain on the roof was endless, and Xue Chongxun felt that he was indeed not so impetuous in the Tang Dynasty, for example, in later generations, he categorically could not calm down and look at the traditional Chinese books without punctuation. G
