Xue Chongxun had dinner and went to the princess's mansion in the evening. The other four civil and military officials have not yet arrived, Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong are estimated to be almost there, and the two generals will have to be late. When he heard that his mother was in the "Golden Light Hall", he hurried there along the lake.

Jinguangtang is a Buddhist hall in the princess's mansion, and its name comes from the city gate "Jinguangmen" in the west of Chang'an. The relationship between the Buddha Hall and the City Gate is actually twisted and turned, because the Golden Light Hall is on a hill, and that hill is an island in the lake...... The water in the lake came from the Cao Canal, which happened to enter the city from a place close to the Golden Light Gate. The person who named Jinguangtang is really talented......

The building of the Tang Dynasty has a characteristic that it is large, the area of the current Daming Palace is many times that of the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations, not only that, the residences of the nobles and the people of Li are relatively large, many officials' homes are planted with vegetables, and dozens of people in the house do not buy much to eat vegetables, and they are planted a lot...... In Chang'an City, you can see all kinds of crops, and some remote places in the city are not like cities at all, like the countryside.

Not to mention the area of Princess Taiping's Mansion, Xue Chongxun rode a horse in order to go to the Jinguang Hall in the back. After crossing an arched bridge, he dismounted and walked up the stone ladder up the hill.

Entering the Golden Light Hall, the spotless wooden floor makes people feel comfortable, and it is not too dirty to sit on it or lie down on the ground. At this time, he saw Princess Taiping, and was slightly surprised, because she was wearing a plain dress...... In Xue Chongxun's impression, she likes to be fiery and lively, and her clothes are always luxurious and gorgeous, and she rarely is so plain.

"I don't see any strangers these days, so fasting for a few days." Taiping said lightly.

Xue Chongxun looked back left and right, and the house was very quiet, with a eunuch outside, standing bored with a whisk.

She actually wants to bathe and fast, I'm afraid that like Xue Chongxun, she is more worried in her heart. Indeed, if you really think about the specifics of the coup d'état, you will find that the powerful forces are all floating clouds, and it is still difficult to do things.

Xue Chongxun looked at Taiping, and suddenly felt that her dress was more temperamental now, perhaps because his aesthetics were more inclined to the relationship of introverted beauty, and he lacked approval for the flamboyant beauty of the big red.

Princess Taiping's figure is particularly plump, which is suitable for the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, and her facial contours are also generous and full, without a little bit of childishness, which makes her particularly imposing on weekdays, and it has something to do with her appearance. Today, her makeup and expression are a little different from usual, she is plainly dressed, and her expression is a little gloomy...... But in Xue Chongxun's mind, the image of Chang'e seems to always be wearing white clothes, and when he looks at it now, his mother is wearing a plain white silk dress, and he always thinks of Chang'e in the Moon Palace......

At this time, Princess Taiping asked, "Have you figured out a way, what are the steps?" ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to my mother, I have already thought about it." I've thought about it many times, and I feel that I can't use the Yulin Army for the first step of the killing......"

Princess Taiping nodded thoughtfully, she should have been thinking about the coup d'état during this time.

Xue Chongxun continued: "If you start with the Yulin Army, there are two difficulties that there is really no way to solve, one is premeditation, we can only let the two generals know in advance, if the news spreads in the Yulin Army, the people in the forbidden army are complicated, I am afraid that the secret will be leaked; The second is speed, the temporary mobilization of troops, from mobilization to sorties, it takes too long to be taken by surprise. The ten thousand horses of the Xuanwu Gate are still in Li Longji's hands, if we can't give a fatal blow by surprise, it will be difficult to deal with it later. He hesitated for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "My idea is to use the Flying Tiger Regiment!" ”

Taiping was puzzled: "Flying Tiger Regiment? The Forbidden Army has this force...... Oh, you mean that private army in Luoyang? ”

Xue Chongxun's eyes showed a hint of excitement: "Exactly! The Flying Tiger Regiment is all from Hedong, and the soldiers have no background, so it is impossible for the news to reach it within a few days; Several generals are also all my people, and they can be trusted. In addition, they are all carefully selected brave men, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. So I think about it, only this group of people is the most suitable! ”

Taiping groaned: "But there are only three hundred people, what can they do?" You start by talking about your intentions. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "The prince lives in Longqingfang, and he goes to Taiji Palace to work every day under the escort of his own soldiers. I paid close attention to it, and his daily route and time were almost fixed, and there were only more than 300 cavalry around him. The road to the dynasty is our opportunity. I first secretly dispatched the Flying Tiger Regiment to infiltrate Chang'an, and then immediately deployed an attack to directly annihilate the prince and others and carry out a beheading operation. Kill the prince first to start the game, and then rush into the Five Princes' Mansion to kill King Qi and King Xue...... In this way, Wan Qi was already a group of dragons without a leader, and his mother ordered the Yulin Army to pass through the Taiji Palace and force them to the Xuanwu Gate, in the name of 'the prince forced the palace by force, illegally seized the throne, rebelled, and the accomplices exterminated the clan'. ”

"Sounds good at first...... Taiping frowned and muttered, "It's just that the Flying Tiger Regiment is still far away in Luoyang, and the tedious process from secretly transferring to Chang'an to killing the crown prince is so tedious, as long as there is any business trip in between, all of them will be lost!" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "No way, I have thought about all the armor soldiers in Chang'an, none of them are reliable, and most of the mother's mansions are guards, I'm afraid it's a bit mysterious to transfer them to do this kind of thing, and others don't have that strength." ”

As Xue Chongxun said, whether it is a general, a prime minister, or a royal family or nobleman at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he does not dare to raise too many weapons in Chang'an City, otherwise it is a rebellion, and more than ten pairs of armor are enough for the crime of rebellion, let alone hundreds and thousands of armor soldiers, unless it is a national army such as the forbidden army and the government soldiers. Only Li Longji and the Taiping Duke are a little stronger, and the armed forces in the palace are enough: Li Longji himself is the crown prince, and the East Palace Guards are the armed forces recognized by the system; Princess Taiping is a favor, but most of the people on duty in the princess's mansion belong to the palace guards, composed of the children of the official eunuch family, and the composition is complex, and it is not very reliable to do such a thing as conspiracy and rebellion.

Now the advantages and disadvantages are obvious: on the surface, Princess Taiping's power is huge and occupies an absolute advantage; In essence, she has to fight hard, and the prince is much stronger than her. Although there are not many people in the East Palace Guard, the role is reflected until now, and there is also a reputation, once Li Longji ascends the throne, the emperor's title is very effective, the name is justified, it is easier to win the forbidden army, coupled with courage and people's hearts, the shape is simply too beneficial to him!

Princess Taiping worried: "Your method is really not good, there are too many loopholes in the middle." The biggest loophole is how to deploy in Chang'an unknowingly? There are still 300 people who have no advantage over more than 300 heavy cavalry, and you don't have armor and long weapons, can you win the battle? Even if he wins, what if Li Longji runs away and goes directly to Xuanwumen? ”

Xue Chongxun sighed: "Is there any other way?" I dare to conclude that the four of them will come in a while, and if my mother asks for advice, they will definitely build yì to do something in the Wude Palace, and the Yulin Army and the Nanya soldiers will attack this method...... Mother, which way do you think is better? Or is there another way? ”

Princess Taiping's face was pale, pacing from side to side, looking dejected, she muttered: "Is there really only a fish dead net?" ”

Xue Chongxun was in a hurry, hurriedly grabbed her shoulders, stared at her eyes and said, "Mother, since you have made up your mind, you must not hesitate to retreat, otherwise you don't have to fight, we have already lost!" ”

"You're telling everyone to die!" Taiping is a little out of control, and at this moment, Xue Chongxun is the first time to see her expose her weak side. Yes, fear and withdrawal are the best expressions of weakness.

Xue Chongxun said: "How to secretly transfer the Flying Tiger Regiment to Chang'an, I have already figured out a way, it is not a big problem." As for the battle with Li Longji, the only way to fight is to fight to the end! The soldiers divided into two roads and blocked them on the long street, with no road in front and behind...... Even if he flies from the sky, as long as he succeeds in preventing him from reaching the Xuanwu Gate, there is still a chance to live. ”

He shouted categorically: "Only by killing Li Longji first is the best way!" ”

It is naturally easy to win by using the Yulin Army to kill the prince's guard, but the Yulin sergeant has been in the palace for a long time, so he is afraid of leaking secrets.

Xue Chongxun's hands were placed on Taiping's shoulders, and she could already feel her shoulders trembling, and she was scared...... Xue Chongxun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "At least we still have a chance, let's fight him, even if we lose, we have tried our best to end up like this, and there is nothing to regret, I will accompany my mother on the road." ”

"I ......" Taiping's face was very ugly. Xue Chongxun hurriedly took her into his arms, gently patted her back and comforted her, at this moment, he found that the fierce and vicious Princess Taiping was only strong on the outside, and her heart was not as good as him at all. Psychologically, I'm afraid that she, the mother, is more dependent on her son at the moment.

Xue Chongxun said kindly: "I remember when I was learning to make a knife, I always lost ugly when I practiced fighting with the soup ball, and I couldn't stop a move, he said to me: You think too much, and you don't guess the other party's tricks or think about your own tricks, but it affects the strain, so it's better to be open-minded and move forward." Mother, it's useless to have any strategy now, the other party won't play tricks with us, just to use force, we can only fight hard. ”

Taiping hesitated, gently wrapped his arm around Xue Chongxun's waist, leaned his head over gently, and said lightly: "Just hold me like this." ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly played the emotional card, trying to make his voice full of emotion: "Erchen is willing to fight to the death for his mother and protect your safety forever." It can't be said that it is hypocritical, but he is very afraid and afraid now, and if he doesn't hold on, the mother and son retreat together, and they can only wait for death.

Ever since he foresaw the future, he had been living in fear and stress, with only one string taut, and if he relaxed a little bit it would collapse, he continued to strain...... In fact, when the final decisive battle was approaching, he felt a little more relaxed, anyway, this time, whether he was dead or alive would soon be revealed, and he didn't have to wait for a long time for the judgment of fate.
