Chapter 396: Ambition
Chapter 396 Ambition
Chang'an made such a big thing, it was not the Zhongshu who stayed behind, Zhang said that he could "weigh the pros and cons and deal with it properly" The small dynasty of the Xuanzheng Hall had just ended, and less than half an hour later, the messenger sent by the political hall quickly went straight to the Huaqing Palace, and it took less than half a day to arrive
The book soon reached the hands of the inner Yu Liben, because he was the one who often served Princess Taiping, and the things could reach Princess Taiping as quickly as possible
Yu Liben first went to report to Princess Taiping, at this time she was in the Changchun Palace in the hot spring Furong Lake shore of the main hall is often used for feasts, the back of this Changchun Palace is the place where Princess Taiping lives in Huaqing Palace, there is a hot spring pool as if the four seasons are like spring, so it has such a name
Yu Liben arrived at the place, and learned that Princess Taiping was bathing, so it was inconvenient to go in, although he was a eunuch and not a man, but the palace was waiting for the ladies to live and bathe, and the people who changed clothes were still mainly palace maids, so he handed the letter to a familiar palace maid to go in
Passing on the news here, Yu Liben pondered in his heart, and hurried to Xingchen Soup, Xue Chongxun lived there and asked where it was, Yu Liben went to the attic on the side of the hot spring, and saw Xue Chongxun sitting on the railing and playing chess with people, an old man who was an official sitting opposite, and a middle-aged man sitting in the middle with a beard twisting his chin watched with interest
"Father-in-law Yu, please sit down, I'm losing the upper hand," Xue Chongxun said without raising his head
Yu Liben stepped forward quickly with the dust, the red robe was kicked up and down, and he said as he walked: "There is something in Chang'an, I disturbed a few people"
As soon as the official saw Yu Liben's expression, he stood up and hugged his fists in a witty manner: "The old man will say goodbye first, and come back to play against the prince another day."
Xue Chongxun returned the salute, and then asked Yu Liben: "What happened?" β
"His Majesty made a fuss in Chang'an, and summoned the ministers to jointly invite Xue Lang to ascend to the pole, and he wanted to give up the throne!" Fish stand on the road
Xue Chongxun was stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly make this trouble?" We didn't force him...... What can Mother-in-law do about today? β
Yu Liben said: "The miscellaneous family stays at the edge of the palace all day long, and they are not prepared at all, it must be the mother and son of Penglai Palace."
Xue Chongxun pondered that although Li Tang is becoming more and more weak, it is also a dynasty with a century-old foundation, and it takes a lot of preparation to take the step of changing the dynasty, how can it be so abrupt? It is impossible for the mother to act so rashly, and besides, Princess Taiping really has no pressure to change the surname of the dynasty? Even Xue Chongxun himself couldn't judge it, he remembered that time when he met in the prince of Jin's mansion, Princess Taiping revealed that meaning, but it was not a matter of one sentence or two, not to mention that Princess Taiping's feelings at that time were also a little out of control
After thinking about it, he said: "I have always had this kind of thought, Your Majesty is really hearty!" He's trying to trap Xue for injustice! After that, he walked around the house anxiously, looking distressed
Yu Liben waited patiently for Xue Chongxun's performance to finish before he said: "Your Majesty is indeed too rash and too anxious, or Xue Lang will talk about it in the last performance, lest the world misunderstand Xue Lang."
Xue Chongxun said: "I have to discuss it with my mother first," and then he had to go out
Yu Liben said: "His Royal Highness is in the hot spring soup of Changchun Palace, but the miscellaneous family has already reported the news, so it's time to get up and see the urgent report from Chang'an."
Xue Chongxun nodded: "Nacheng, I'll go to the Changchun Hall to discuss with my mother" He went out and walked west, straight to the Changchun Palace
Outside the palace of Princess Taiping, Xue Chongxun was inconvenient to break in directly, so he called a palace maid to go in and wait for the palace maid to come out and say that His Royal Highness asked him to come in to meet, Xue Chongxun only went inside Yesterday he came to Huaqing Palace, Princess Taiping's bedroom is still the first time to come, as soon as he enters the palace gate, he sees the fog inside like a fairyland, and the wide silk curtain is looming in the hazy white vapor
At this time, I heard a palace maid say: "Do you want to invite the prince to the attic to wait for His Highness?" Another palace maid said: "Your Highness just asked the prince to go in directly"
They were talking there, because the fog was too big, Xue Chongxun couldn't even see his face clearly, he could only hear the voice, Xue Chongxun heard this, and he actually had some expectations in his heart, but after thinking about it, the Taiping Duke said that he must have been dressed neatly, and it was nothing, although the place was inconvenient to entertain, but Xue Chongxun was not an outsider
"Lord Wang, please come with the slave maid" A palace maid said timidly, and then carefully took small steps, about she wore the skirt too narrow and couldn't take big steps, Xue Chongxun had to slowly follow her for a short while, and a wide pool appeared in front of him, it was still steaming, such a large pool appeared indoors like an indoor swimming pool, but the shore was inlaid with wood, and there were curtains hanging around, the antique scene was very different from the indoor swimming pool in Xue Chongxun's mind
He looked at it and saw that there was another person in the pool, who was a woman with his back to his sideburns, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, and then looked at the back very familiarly...... The person who bathed in this place was not Princess Taiping, who was it? Dare to love her, she didn't go ashore at all after hearing the news, and there was a palace maid standing on the edge of the pool with a letter in her hand, she should have just finished reading it before she had time to leave
Xue Chongxun stubbornly bowed and said: "Erchen meets his mother"
"You're here" Princess Taiping turned around and said lightly, the white mist on the water was hazy, and nothing could be seen on the shore, but it was conceivable that Princess Taiping was not wearing an inch on her body now, Xue Chongxun hurriedly lowered her hands and bowed her head, Princess Taiping was very natural, as if it was natural to be reasonable, and even the people next to her were affected by her, as if there was nothing wrong with it, but Xue Chongxun thought that there was a rule that children avoid their mothers, so it was a bit excessive, But he didn't want to break it, he just wanted to pretend that there were other people around, in addition to Taoist Yuqing and a few palace maids, they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to speak, not to mention right or wrong?
Xue Chongxun said seriously: "Erchen just heard about Chang'an, so he was anxious to see his mother and heard that he was going to join the ministers for the Zen throne today, how can this be done?" There is no ...... in the sons."
"It's too rushed, isn't it?" Princess Taiping interrupted him suddenly
Xue Chongxun was stunned, his eyes looked at the floor without saying a word, and he pondered the wording in his heart
Princess Taiping said calmly: "There is nothing difficult about this matter, of course you have to refrain without hesitation and not say anything else, that is, when the ancients were justified in following the trend of the times, the ministers went to the table, and people still had to resign, and now the emperor said how could you immediately agree?" β
At this time, Xue Chongxun spoke: "I have no intention of taking the risk of separating from my mother, this will only make the relatives and enemies happy, and you will give it, I never want to take anything from you, let alone seize the throne and seek the dynasty...... I don't have that much ambition."
He said a few words straightforwardly, as if it was very casual, but he pondered in his heart for a while, and the attitude he wanted to show to Princess Taiping was: unwilling to be her enemy In fact, at this time, the Li Tang royal family had declined to the lowest level in a hundred years, Xue Chongxun really wanted to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, and the most difficult thing to deal with was the Taiping Party, and he was also the most ruthless person, and even if the other forces were dissatisfied, they were relatively loose and difficult to unite against the central henchmen who had already held military and political power
"You have no ambitions?" Princess Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun with a smile, which made him very stressed, even if Xue Chongxun was her most powerful person, she could feel the majesty at any time, and the pressure she gave people was a kind of temperament that was inadvertently revealed in her words and deeds
Xue Chongxun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Ambition and false fame are things outside the body, I value the relatives and family members who are connected to fate and care, if my mother thinks that I will threaten Li Tang Jiye, you can take back one of my qiqi in a word, and even my life is given by my mother, you can take it at any time...... With just one word from you, I will definitely order the generals and staff of the Shence Army to give up resistance and wait for the fall, even I don't want to fight, does it still make sense for them to do anything? β
He said very sincerely, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy, Princess Taiping was a little moved when she heard it, and recalled the last time Xue Chongxun took the initiative to tune the army out of Chang'an, and how could she ever be wary of her every bit of the usual time? Just like when he came to Huaqing Palace now, he brought the Flying Tiger Regiment with him and was still stationed outside, and the Yulin Army beside Princess Taiping was close to a thousand cavalry escorts, and it was really easy to arrange a Hongmen banquet to take down his son, because he had no defense against himself at all
Princess Taiping was silent for a moment, but the expression on her face was still as smiling as Fang Cai, which made people wonder if she was incomprehensible, "You come closer, let me see if you have ambition in your eyes."
"Yes" Xue Chongxun respectfully walked around the edge of the wooden pool, stood next to Princess Taiping, and then looked down...... At this time, his face suddenly turned red, because when he looked down closely, Princess Taiping's upper body was unobstructed under the water, and the snow-white and huge skin was particularly dazzling in the sparkling water, and he hurriedly looked away
Rao is Xue Chongxun is very thick-skinned, but he can't be calm and calm in the face of Princess Taiping, and even her ears and roots are red Princess Taiping raised her head, looked at his face carefully with a smile, and said: "Great ambition......"
Xue Chongxun was worried and confused when he heard this, his mood was extremely complicated, and he blushed and defended: "Son...... Erchen has no lies, please be enlightened"
Princess Taiping looked doting, and said softly: "What do you want, sue sΓΉ Niang, I will help you" The tone was so soft that there were no bones, and it was rare for a person like her to say such a thing in her mouth, and when it was cold, a sentence could scare people's legs tremble, but when it was warm, it could be like now
Xue Chongxun bent over in fear and said, "I don't want anything, I have enough......" Q
