Chapter 19: Crying

The greenery of Daming Palace is very good, there are large mountains and rivers and trees between the buildings, and this is a huge garden like a heavenly palace. When there was silence in the Chengxiang Palace, Xue Chongxun heard a unique bird call outside, and the sound was quite rhythmic...... Mutter...... Coo-......", in the quiet evening, the birdsong sounds ethereal and melodious, like the sound of a flute.

Just when Xue Chongxun was distracted, he suddenly heard his mother sigh. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong...... Although I am afraid of what happened not long ago, it has finally passed, and I have understood a lot of things. ”

"Hmm." Tai replied expressionlessly.

Xue Chongxun felt that she had a lot of things in her heart, but she controlled such a big empire, and there should be a lot of things to think about every day. He asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Taiping shook his head, and Xue Chongxun said again: "Mother still doesn't believe me?" ”

Taiping was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly in a deep voice: "It seems to be weak today, but it is actually very wise, I am quite relieved of him." But he has many sons, and these people have a reputation, will there be someone among them who has sprung up like Li Sanlang at the beginning? ”

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "For the time being, no one has that strength and opportunity, don't worry, as for things that are too far away...... It's hard to predict. ”

"And the trouble you caused, we were forced to fight the Tibetans, and somehow, I always felt that the people who led the troops could not completely reassure me."

This kind of thing, in other words, anyone will be more or less prevented. Xue Chongxun didn't know how to answer, so he had to say a few words of relief casually...... There is no way, Princess Taiping is a woman, and she can't fight, so it's impossible to drive the expedition in person. Xue Chongxun doesn't want to go out to fight now, not to mention that he has never commanded a large army to fight at all, don't make a historical joke of "Zhao Kuo talking about the army on paper", he died and the army was destroyed, delaying the major events of the military state, and laughing for thousands of years...... You still have to do what you can.

Taiping glanced at Xue Chongxun and said, "I remembered what I said to you today." ”

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: She really forgot the purpose of her coming before.

Taiping continued: "I am very sorry after you left Beijing, people in their twenties have no heirs, this time I must complete your marriage, otherwise I will not fulfill my mother's responsibilities." ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly asked, "Jincheng...... Princess Kaneshiro? Now she doesn't have to kiss her. ”

Taiping's expression was cold: "What do you think?" ”

Xue Chongxun was silent.

"You should know that it is a capital crime to advocate and sabotage the imperial court's plans! I'll spare your life, but don't be pampered! Princess Taiping said slightly angrily, "The death penalty can be avoided, the punishment is inevitable, and the title of King of Hedong will definitely be removed." Marry Jincheng? She is now the source of the country's troubles in the eyes of the scholars! You'd better dispel this thought as soon as possible, lest you harm others and yourself...... The princess Huo Guo I told you last time is the biological daughter of the Emperor Taishang, with a proper background and a virtuous person, she is the best candidate, can your mother still harm you? Moreover, with such a marriage, we can better ally with the people on the Emperor's side and strengthen ourselves, and King Fen's side will not have any ambitions for ten years. ”

Xue Chongxun was indeed a little annoyed when he heard this, and looked directly at Taiping and said, "I don't deserve to be the king of Hedong!" I don't care what others think of Jincheng, but I really want to marry her! ”

Taiping became even more angry when he heard this, and the mother and son quarreled again. She pointed at Xue Chongxun's nose and said, "You disappointed me too much!" Do I need to talk more about this? ”

Xue Chongxun did not show weakness and replied: "What is the truth of this? Mother just wants everything to come as you wish, and no one can disobey it! I love to listen to you about other things, but I'm a royal nobleman, why do I have to marry a woman I don't like? ”

"Presumptuous!" Taiping was furious, "Marriage matters, matchmakers' words, parents' orders, is it you who have the final say, or I have the final say!" ”

Xue Chongxun was really annoyed when he saw her, and he wanted to say a few nice words in her anger, so as not to stiffen again. But somehow, this situation suddenly reminded him of the story in the dream of the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu watched his mother, Mrs. Wang, abuse Qingwen, and was so weak that he didn't dare to say a word!

Although the things in that story can't be beaten by eight poles, Xue Chongxun thinks that Lao Tzu has risked his life to prevent Jincheng from being insulted by the Tubo people, so why should he retreat now? He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You have your reason, I have my reason!" What do we get by ignoring anything for the sake of so-called power? What did my mother get, now that you have the power of the world, you are short of the title of an emperor, are you happy, happy? ”

Taiping looked at him with disbelief, her fingers trembled, her tears came out, that expression was really indescribable, the half-exposed breasts in the big red silk rose and fell, she took a deep breath, pointed to the door and said coldly: "Get out!" You unfilial son, get out of here! ”

She was not only angry, but also sad and desperate, Xue Chongxun's heart suddenly tingled, realizing that he had indeed gone too far, how could he be so sarcastic about his mother's son? His face was pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen said the wrong thing, I'm sorry, mother ......"

"I don't want to see you, get out of the door!" Taiping's tears flowed down his cheeks and he shouted.

Xue Chongxun stood up a little flustered, bowed backwards to leave, just walked to the door, and saw Taiping sitting alone and weeping, he was also very sad, Taiping was his only relative...... Maybe she has a black heart, but without the protection of her mother, Xue Chongxun can enjoy this glory and wealth safely?

He reflected: Maybe he is not qualified at all, and he is still a naΓ―ve fool. Think that killing a few people and doing a few bad things is the so-called killing ruthless characters?

Xue Chongxun hesitated, hurriedly walked back, knelt down in front of Taiping, grabbed her hand and said, "Mother......"

Taiping suddenly hugged him into his arms, and he cried loudly, which was really sad to the extreme. Xue Chongxun was at a loss, such a powerful princess Taiping would cry like this?

"No one can believe it, I don't know how many people curse me in their hearts that I will not die well, and I will be terrified all day long...... What does it mean to live for a person like me......" Taiping cried dryly.

Xue Chongxun fully understood her feelings, she didn't control any situation, she was always uneasy, let alone the person in power who stood on the cusp of the storm. But where is the road?

He was sad in his heart, and said dejectedly: "Mother is right, even if Jincheng marries me, he will fall into all kinds of uneasiness, I ...... The mother is in charge of the marriage, I have no complaints. ”M
