Chapter 8: Believe in You
Princess Taiping said sincerely, saying that she wanted to delegate power, but everyone was skeptical. After spending so much time with her, they all know that Taiping is a strong woman, and she will willingly fade out of people's sight in obscurity like many other princesses, and be lonely until she grows old?
Then there are only two possibilities for her to speak like this: one is that she has figured it out, and she really wants to take a step back and keep her peace; The other is that he has already made up his mind to meet Li Longji with the sword, fight to the death, and deliberately provoke the generals.
Cui Xiang's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately said: "What Your Highness said is extremely true, sooner or later you will have to distinguish the tall and short, please signal Your Highness, as long as you say a word, I am willing to transfer the Southern Yajun to respond." β
All the officials were stunned when they heard this...... This Cui Xiang's talent is indeed limited, even if everyone is attached to Princess Taiping, but he is the one that other prime ministers look down on the most. Because the reason why Cui Xiang was able to become the prime minister was completely by patting the beard and walking the horse in front of Princess Taiping to please him, he used to wear fancy clothes, making men and women not men, just to be happy for Bo Taiping...... Such a person is not on the right track.
The coup d'Γ©tat used the soldiers of the Southern Yafu? He can figure it out that Nanya is a place controlled by six departments in three provinces, and there are many muddy factions and many people, and when the soldiers in Beijing are mobilized, I am afraid that the news will be known by 800 people, and they will give you a chance? And the government soldiers were originally forced to serve, and they can still be used to fight foreign races, and you are fighting among others, who is willing to give you a hard time! I think that when Empress Wei ordered to gather the 60,000 soldiers who reinforced Chang'an, they directly surrendered when they were in battle, anyway, they themselves came from the Tang Dynasty, and they surrendered to their own court, can they still kill prisoners?
At this time, he heard Taiping change his words and said: "How can Cui Xianggong speak like this? You're stirring up a relationship! I am a member of the Li family, how can I meet with the people of my own family? β
Cui Xiang hurriedly said: "I said the wrong thing in a hurry, please forgive your highness...... It is indeed inappropriate to use the southern yabing, and the matter must be discussed in detail before the countermeasures can be discussed. β
Taiping frowned, and said with a sigh of relief: "I am also very hesitant whether to retire or not, but I didn't think of using extreme measures, you don't want to mention it again!" As a courtier, you can't talk nonsense, you know it. β
At this moment, Xue Chongxun was also strange: just now, her mother obviously wanted to use the radical method to get the officials to support her, but now why did she suddenly change her words? Could it be that I was wrong just now?
Taiping said again: "You are not impatient, find an opportunity to persuade today." I'm going to try to change my mind as much as I can. Hasn't the edict of succession not yet been officially promulgated? Don't let Saburo succeed, this is the most important thing for us now, you guys will think about it. That's all for today. β
The crowd had no choice but to retreat. After they were all gone, Taiping's face showed a melancholy look, in Xue Chongxun's eyes, in the past, his mother was always so confident and calm, majestic and had the style of everyone, but now she rarely sees this kind of expression.
The floor in the palace was spotless, and she slowly paced among the vermilion pillars, like Chang'e wandering in the Moon Palace, as if she had endless feelings.
"Mother......" Xue Chongxun stopped talking, and wanted to ask her if she was not determined enough, but after thinking about it, her mother was not that kind of person...... But why did she suddenly change her mind just now? To say that the seven bureaucrats who were in the palace just now, those are the four prime ministers and the three important ministers, all of whom are the backbone of the Taiping Party, and they should all be trustworthy people.
When Princess Taiping heard Xue Chongxun calling her, she stopped and looked at him in a daze, her eyes looked at people as if they were in pain somewhere. I only heard her sigh faintly: "I don't know if I've become suspicious, who is reliable now?" β
Xue Chongxun suddenly became stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Mother's approach is very right, this matter must be kept secret first, in case San Lang knows, he is in a hurry to make a desperate bet, we can't be as fast as him...... It's not that I want to speak ill of others, I didn't like that Cui Xianggong just now, it's not as reliable as Dou Xianggong and Xiao Xianggong. β
Taiping smiled sadly: "Now our exact attitude is known to you and my mother and son, and things are not bad." β
Hearing this, Xue Chongxun only felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and said movingly: "My mother taught me my body and hair, and I will always advance and retreat with my mother." β
Taiping said: "If one day we have a serious conflict, you will say the same?" β
Xue Chongxun said categorically: "If even you can't tolerate me, what's the difference between living in this world and the walking dead?" I have said before that if my mother is dissatisfied, all she needs is one sentence, and I will immediately apologize to myself without the slightest hesitation! β
Taiping hurriedly held his hand, but said in a reproachful tone: "At the moment of big things, don't say those unlucky words." But she herself said: "In case of unfavorability, our mother and son are together, and we are not alone on Huangquan Road." Alas, all of a sudden, when I think of those who cling to me, who pleases me, who flatters me, or who is attached to me, or who is in my position of power, or who covets glory? Your grandmother is still secretly scolded, maybe I am also the kind of vicious woman who is cold-blooded and ruthless and ignores the overall situation in the hearts of others......"
She compared herself to Wu Zetian, but Xue Chongxun felt that her mother was completely inferior to her grandmother Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian is afraid that he will not think that he has done something wrong until he dies, and he is still intoxicated with a kind of vanity when he dies. Why did the mother say these words? Xue Chongxun felt that her feelings were a little low, her heart was not ruthless and hard enough, so she would never be able to compare to Wu Zetian.
Now you must let her regain her confidence and decisiveness, otherwise the game is really over! Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "Hasn't my mother always been thinking about her grandmother? She's done more bad things than you do, but you still care about her...... No matter what others think, you will always be the best person and the most respectable person! You didn't do anything wrong, Erchen stood firmly by your side, let it go! β
Taiping was happy when he heard this, and showed a smile: "In the end, it is best to worship training, no matter how those people usually follow you, they are also in Cao Ying's heart in Han." β
Xue Chongxun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and muttered: "We have to hurry, the first step is to determine the people involved in the plan, the fewer the better, except for the people who must be used, everything else must be kept secret." β
Taiping thought for a moment and said, "Several generals in the forbidden army must participate, they are very important people. A few prime ministers...... Lu Xiang will not come first, Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong are more trustworthy, let them participate, first, they can participate in the planning, and second, when necessary, the Nan Yabing will at least not fight back, which will catch us off guard. In addition, Xue Ji, Li Jin, Jia Yingfu, Tang Hui and other ministers are good at planning, which can allow them to participate in the planning and make the layout strategy more complete. β
Xue Chongxun frowned and said, "There are too many people!" The latter few Wenchen are of little use except for giving advice, so don't let them know. The two prime ministers and the two generals of the Yulin Army participated in the initial operation, and the others waited for the general situation to settle down before conspiring with them. In this way, the circle is small, and a few people who know the roots will be more cautious. β
Taiping shook his head and said: "This kind of thing must be considered thoroughly, in case there is a mistake in the plan, it will be difficult to remedy it when the matter is approaching." β
Xue Chongxun raised his head and said: "Mother, just leave the initial plan to me, I will think about it today, and let others come to my mother's house in the evening to discuss and make a decision as soon as possible." The most important thing now is not completeness, but the speed of soldiers! β
Taiping bowed his head and groaned. Xue Chongxun hurriedly persuaded: "How did my Three Rivers Method do last time?" Yao Chong was also in Luoyang at that time, and there were a few imperial historians staring at him, didn't they still throw in the towel and admit defeat? Mother, do you believe me? β
At this time, Taiping suddenly raised his head and looked at him with encouraging eyes: "I believe you, if I don't even believe you, who else can I trust?" βG
