Chapter 409 Scars

Princess Taiping's demeanor was still relatively calm and majestic from beginning to end, and her will was also very smooth, but I am afraid that only Xue Chongxun beside her could feel her panic: after the attack, the soldiers and horses of several surrounding counties and towns were mobilized, and most of them just ran in vain, and some of the troops were still halfway through the road and were notified that they were going to withdraw to the garrison after the war...... If it is reasonably arranged, there is no need to alarm so many places at all for people and money

There were many people standing in the main hall of the Changchun Palace, including palace maids, eunuchs, officials, generals, staff and literati, and several imperial doctors, but Princess Taiping obviously didn't want to see these people, and pulled a curtain in front of the screen, separating her from a few people, and she couldn't see any love on her face, but the people around her could sense her tiredness, and she said less, as if she was thinking about something, maybe there would be a kind of fear, right?

However, Xue Chongxun, who was actually stabbed, didn't feel it...... He had long been numb to this kind of thing, and sat very relaxed on the soft collapse next to the throne, a royal doctor was examining his injuries, his clothes were half stripped off, one arm and half of his back were bent, and he looked a little absent-minded while the old man was messing around, and he was thinking about the "key point" of this emergency, always looking for this kind of thing...... I thought about something else, but the pain of the wound felt much lighter

Suddenly, I heard Princess Taiping's voice say, "Why do you have so many injuries on your body?" ”

"Huh?" Xue Chongxun came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at his bare shoulder, and a long scar could be seen on his shoulder, which was the wound hung by his own armor when he fell off his horse in the Battle of Wuhai, but it was actually just a skin injury; In addition, there was a scar on the back of the left shoulder, which was not a serious injury, but the medical conditions in this era were limited, and there was no condition for maintenance in the military camp on the Helong side at that time, so it was easy to leave traces

Xue Chongxun smiled casually and relaxedly: "Left over from the Battle of Wuhai"

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Xue Chongxun soon found that the two eunuchs standing on the side showed awe on their faces, and he only then realized that this kind of scar was completely a show off of his military exploits

It's no wonder that when those veterans brag in front of their juniors, their favorite thing is to tear off their shirts and let others see the "ugly" scars on his body...... Perhaps every trace is a memorial to a bloody battle and evidence of bravery

Princess Taiping's expression also flashed a hint of imperceptible strangeness, but she quickly recovered her indifference, "Last time you said that your knees couldn't bend, I thought it was okay...... How the hell did you fight and how many wounds did you get from knives and arrows? ”

Xue Chongxun didn't know how to answer for a while

Princess Taiping said: "Let me see it later"

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "It's all right, although there is a scar, fortunately, it's not on the face, and it doesn't matter."

"You come in with me" Princess Taiping stood up as she spoke, Xue Chongxun was stunned, and felt that there was some fuss for a while, Princess Taiping said quietly: "I have something else to discuss with you, it is inconvenient here"

Xue Chongxun suddenly understood when he heard this, and his heart was mostly a matter of Zhang Ren's rebellion, Zhang Renyuan, as the governor of Shuofang and controlled several cities in Anbei, was a feudal official with real military power, and this matter could be regarded as a military priority, and it was obviously inappropriate to say military affairs in public, after all, there were still a group of imperial doctors and many irrelevant officials here

When the imperial doctor saw Xue Chongxun put on his clothes directly, he hurriedly reported: "It does not hurt the muscles and bones, but it is necessary to change the dressing frequently to clean the wound so as not to turn evil; In addition, if you lose too much blood, you must rest your qi and blood and avoid too much activity......"

Xue Chongxun didn't bird him, followed Princess Taiping to a door, and left a distance before saying: "It's just a little skin injury, and the imperial doctor can say it very strictly."

"Why don't you meditate? Zhang Ren can't turn the sky over, and you don't need to personally lead troops to quell the rebellion in the north," Princess Taiping said without looking back

Xue Chongxun was silent, and it was not good to fight too much, after all, Princess Taiping had not clearly stated her attitude...... You, a prince, are still fighting for merit, what do you want to do?

At this time, Princess Taiping said: "After returning to Chang'an, let the next and lower rebels against the edict, order the military department to hang the seal, and transfer the Chinese army to the north to quell the rebellion Cheng Qianli is the prime minister of the general, and he is experienced in military affairs, and can serve the public, so it is most suitable to use him."

Xue Chongxun said: "Although it is certain that Zhang Renyuan and others are not out of the relationship, but at this time, the ins and outs of the various ins and outs are not clear, and I have another guess."

"You say" Princess Taiping walked through a long palace room in front, and at the end of this room was a staircase, which was a passage directly down the pavilion, and she went straight downstairs, and Xue Chongxun had to follow

"Zhang Ren is willing to send assassins and strange soldiers into the customs to plot against us, naturally he has been prepared, last night's incident was just his start to seize the opportunity, and then he will openly conspire against him and want to raise troops to make a career, so he has to have a name...... There are only two kinds of names that can be used, the Qing monarch side or support a clan, and play the banner of Kuang Fu Justice and Li Tang" Xue Chongxun analyzed Zhang Renyuan unhurriedly

Princess Taiping said disapprovingly: "So what, he can still lead the army to defeat the imperial court officials and soldiers, and enter the customs to compete for the world?" Mobilize troops to pacify it."

Xue Chongxun said: "Then we have spent a lot of money on the treasury to mobilize the army in the civil war, what can we prove if we win the war?" Prove to the people of the world that the current regime is unpopular, and rebellions are rising one after another? ”

Princess Taiping stood still, turned around and frowned: "Zhang Ren is willing to rebel, although the chance of success is slim, but he will definitely not be restrained when he comes to this point, we can only transfer troops to arrest him back to Chang'an for questioning, is there any other way?" ”

Xue Chongxun looked left and right, and there were only some close attendants around Yu Liben and Princess Taiping, and said in a deep voice: "After that incident last night, I calmed down and thought about it, there is only one prince of the clan surnamed Li on Shuo Fang's side: although King Si Ze has no confession and evidence that King Si Ze has colluded with Zhang Renyuan, the Si Ze Palace's mansion is in Lingzhou, where Zhang Renyuan's line is...... It's hard for me to imagine that Zhang Ren would be willing to ignore the clan under his nose when he was trying to make a big deal, so I boldly imagined that the rebels would probably use King Ze as the order to fight the banner of Kuang Fu Li Tang and occupy a foothold in the righteousness."

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment after hearing this, thinking about Fang Cai's words

Xue Chongxun said while it was hot: "It is impossible to find out whether King Si Ze participated in the rebellion for a while, but it does not prevent us from taking the opportunity to take back the opportunity immediately!" Guanzhong is not close to Shuofang, and the news of the success of this side is difficult to convey for a while, at this time, if we immediately dispatch a group of soldiers and horses near Lingzhou to raid, by surprise, most of us can capture King Si Ze on the spot...... Then Zhang Renyuan no matter what he said and did, it was his own business, and no matter what, he couldn't hide the essence of rebelling against the center of the court as a border general. ”Q
