Li Yixun's wife, Gong Shi, did not enjoy the treatment of a prisoner at all, and was imprisoned in Wang Junshou's mansion to eat and drink well, but her freedom was restricted. Xue Chongxun specially invited her over for dinner after eating one day, and treated her politely, and persuaded her: "Princess Gong stood up to expose the traitor's treacherous schemes, and it is not a betrayal of her husband, because compared with the lives of thousands of Han people, defending Li Yixun alone is just a small righteousness, and protecting all living beings from the disaster is a great righteousness!" People in the world will never accuse you of being wrong, but will clear your identity and be respected...... Like the strange woman Wang Zhaojun in ancient times, in order to quell the war, she married the desert, isn't it famous in history for the world to commemorate for all generations? The princess must be clear. ”

Gong frowned and said: "What the King of Jin said is the Great Dao, but the first husband did not make such an agreement with the Turks, at least the concubine has never heard of it, isn't it a false accusation to lie like this?" ”

Xue Chongxun patiently explained bitterly: "Of course I know that you didn't participate in the plan, didn't you say it a long time ago, you women and children are all innocent." But please think about it: Lingzhou is the military town of the Shuofang army, and there should be many staff members in the city who are loyal to Zhang Renyuan, even if the officers and soldiers are in the city, they can win without a fight, and they can know that the hearts of the people are back. Since Zhang Renyuan dares to spread the word that the world is plotting rebellion, he can't have a little confidence, he must have a follow-up move...... What is it? Isn't it obvious that it must be Turkic! Imagine that the Turkic iron cavalry entered the customs to participate in the civil war, and it was not my Han people who were ravaged! The only way to do this was to expose Zhang Renyuan's wishful thinking, and let him know that letting the enemy army enter the Tang realm would confirm the conclusive testimony of the princess, so that he would have some scruples and try to prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the fire to rob. Whether I'm telling the truth or not, you can figure it out for yourself. ”

Unexpectedly, the Gong family was stubborn, and said coldly: "The concubine is a woman, she doesn't understand the general righteousness of the country, and she only understands the small righteousness that she personally feels." My late husband treated me well when he was alive, how can I talk nonsense about his rights and wrongs now? ”

Xue Chongxun said again: "As long as you agree to cooperate with me, your life and dignity can be guaranteed not to be trampled on, and even I can play the imperial court to show merit, re-seal you a lady, and lead the treasury to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life...... "The more he spoke, the more he felt like a rebel who was coercing and seducing the revolution, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, I was afraid that he had used such tricks after watching too many TV series in his previous life.

He also said: "The struggle for power is ruthless, we can only abide by the rules, since we have come to this point, why not look in a good direction, why bother to oppose the court and the world, what is the benefit?" ”

At this time, Gong suddenly said, "Do you think I will believe your words? ”

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, he wanted to say that I was telling the truth, but he didn't say it when he opened his mouth, his own people forced her husband to die, what reason did she have to believe in herself?

He sighed, said that it was useless, so he buried his head in the chopsticks and ate in silence. Gong didn't expect him to be annoyed and angry, but seemed very quiet, and she was surprised. At this time, she naturally couldn't eat it, so she could only watch him eat with fear and a mood, and suddenly found that Xue Chongxun's appearance looked a little lonely, and a trace of strangeness flashed in her heart for a while.

The words were not speculative, and the two of them were speechless.

Gong sat opposite Xue Chongxun, the Bi Luo (a kind of pasta pie) and the dishes in front of him didn't move at all, and he couldn't go away like this without giving face, after all, the fate of the prisoner was completely in the hands of others, so he could only sit there.

In this meditation, she found that Xue Chongxun had an old wound on his wrist in the right sleeve, and then found that his palm was very large and rough, not at all like the hands she usually saw those princes and nobles, but a bit like a farmer doing hard work in a fiefdom. Gong Shi glanced at Xue Chongxun's face again, his complexion was dark, and he had nothing to do with people with fine skin and tender flesh who were pampered, but the restrained and intimidating aura between his sword eyebrows made him look very different from honest people.

Gong Shi then thought that the man in front of him was a powerful figure of 500,000 Tubo people who defeated the brave and good fighting Tubo army with 60,000 Tang troops, and his achievements in people's livelihood were not very famous, but his achievements were known to everyone in the world. Gong silently compared her late husband Li Yixun with Xue Chongxun, and found that the difference between the two was too great.

Perhaps it was because of Xue Chongxun's gratitude for his courtesy, Gong's impression of him at this time was much better. But she still didn't say yes to his terms.

Xue Chongxun finished eating his own food, poured another half bowl of soup and drank it, and in an instant, the dishes in front of him were eaten cleanly and not wasted at all. Gong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. Xue Chongxun said: "If you can't eat it, forget it, let's stop here today." ”

…… A few days later, Zhang Wulang, Wang Changling and other military generals rushed to Shangjun from Chang'an and met with Xue Chongxun. Xue Chongxun couldn't help but complain in front of Wang Changling and others that there were too few troops and could not directly go north to push the Turks.

Wang Changling said: "Xue Lang is in Shangjun, controlling all the military and political affairs in the Guanbei region, at this time, the responsibility is heavy, the meritorious service is still secondary, the most important thing is to take precautions early, at least resist the rebels and let the Turks enter the Guanzhong region." ”

Zhang Jiuling also agreed: "Although Zhang Renyuan is a Han general, he is in danger of rebelling against the Great Sin Clan, and the big thing is in his thoughts, we can't completely guarantee that he will continue to rely on the Anbei Military Town to resist the Turks, so he should make plans as soon as possible...... At this time, in order to stabilize the situation, do not rush to fight the army, the former Sui Emperor caused the destruction of the country, and the former master of the future did not forget the future to hope that the prince would be cautious. I set up a Turkic envoy in the court to contact the Turkic court, and for the time being, I negotiated peace with them, such as promising to fund grain and silk, release the captives who were captured in the sneak attack, or promise to join forces to deal with the Khitan, etc., delaying the time and waiting for the imperial court to recover, and then try to make a big plan. ”

Xue Chongxun nodded: "The main battle force is only 30,000, plus the defenders of each city and town are jointly deployed, they can only defend themselves against the ability to attack, and they can only be as Zishou (Zhang Jiuling) said...... However, some time ago, I came up with a plan, to persuade the captured Li Yixun's wife Gong Shi to join forces with me to 'expose' Li Yixun's treacherous scheme, and let the world know that Zhang Renyuan and others wanted to borrow Turkic soldiers as a reward to loot Chang'an, Luoyang and other places after the Turks were completed......"

When Wang Changling heard the joy, he immediately slapped his thigh and praised: "Brilliant plan!" As soon as this article came out, the people from the Shi clan to Li Min in the Guannai were bound to scold Zhang Renyuan. Although it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Zhang Renyuan will never dare to let the Turks enter the customs, otherwise the people of the world will believe that the exposed text is true, and it is indispensable for him to be ruined and infamous for all generations. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "In order to increase the credibility of the revelation, it is best to let Li Yixun's concubine come forward, but I haven't convinced her yet." ”

Wang Changling said: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to, it's a fact that we captured Princess Si Ze, and people know that the Gong family is in the hands of Xue Lang." At this time, it was reasonable for Xue Lang to spread the exposé in the name of Gong, but after that, he couldn't let Gong talk nonsense, so as to save Xue Lang the notoriety of being accused of deceiving the world. ”

Xue Chongxun pondered for a while, nodded and said: "When the young uncle said this, it is also a way, she is really unwilling to come forward, let's just borrow a name." ”

As soon as the staff summed up, they did what they said, and Wang Changling did not shirk and wrote an article in person. Although it is a false name, Wang Changling feels that doing this is a good thing that is in line with the interests of the people, so there is no psychological barrier, and the writing is smooth. Although he didn't have the leisure to write many poems after being reused, his talent is obvious, and writing articles is not easy?

The article vividly describes how the princess listened to Zhang Renyuan and Li Yixun's secret discussion in the inner house, and how to weigh between "small righteousness" and "great righteousness", all kinds of details are like the princess's self-analysis, and the words and sentences are completely based on the psychology of women...... Obviously, good poems that describe women's minds are written by men, otherwise where would there be so many good poems about the palace and the palace, and those poems are really from the hands of resentful women? The woman is suffering and can't say it, only talented literati and writers can write about it.

In the end, it was named "Wuling Gong", as the original material, and it should be added a handprint. Wang Changling couldn't see the Gong family, and he said in his heart to save trouble: Gong is a princess, and he must have never been humiliated by the sword and pen, so it is impossible to leave a handprint on any paper, anyway, it is difficult to verify, and the original file must be stored in the imperial court, and what is conveyed is a copy of the re-copied copy, where to distinguish the true from the fake?

So he pulled a maid casually and asked her to press her handprint on the paper.

The maid was still frightened, and asked Wang Changling with a sad face: "The slave is illiterate, what did the Ming Duke let the slave draw and deed......

Wang Changling said angrily: "You have already sold yourself, what does it matter to sell again?" ”

After the "Erling" group of staff arrived at Xue Chongxun's side, they were quite efficient and reliable, and within a day's work, the "letter to the world" quickly left Shangjun and reported directly to Chang'an.

Only the old fritters in the political hall know the inside story of this matter, and the others are suspicious but have no way to verify the truth or falsehood. The civil officials in the court didn't care whether it was true or not, anyway, it was something that put a hat on Zhang Renyuan's head, and he decided that it was true in one bite, and then issued an official official report through the Guò Political Affairs Hall, and spread it to the surrounding local government offices with Luoyang, the capital of Changdong, the capital of Beijing, as the center.

What's even more excessive is that the post station is pasted with the notice board of the wanted document and the government decree are pasted, under the condition that the Chang'an decree is still unimpeded, the speed of this kind of news is not slow, or it will not be long before it becomes known to passers-by...... Of course, people who are well-read and reasonable will have reservations about the article, but those ordinary businessmen and ordinary people are easily bewitched when they hear about it, and naturally they scold Zhang Ren for forgetting his ancestors and betraying his ancestors.
