Before Xue Chongxun had time to linger in the Daming Palace, the border military newspaper was directly reported to him, and the western Turkic Shi tribe led the Great Food (Arab) soldiers to attack the four towns of Anxi; In the history of the governor of Youzhou, there are signs of rebellion in the Khitan. These things should not be caused by Xue Chongxun's seizure of the throne, but only a legacy of the past, because he suddenly ascended the throne from the beginning to the present for only a few days, and the news could not spread so quickly.

Even if there was a war at the border, Xue Chongxun couldn't care about it, and directly threw the chapter to the political affairs hall, and ordered Zhang Shuo to weigh it and dispose of it properly. Xue Chongxun himself was busy leaving the city to meet Princess Taiping in Huaqing Palace.

The expansion of the Arab Mu Slin Sect to the east was not a matter of a day or two, and Xue Chongxun did not think that they would really be able to make much progress this time. As early as ten years ago, their "father of kings" appointed two generals to be in charge of oriental affairs, and threatened to appoint whoever set foot in China first to be appointed king of China, but ten years later, no Arab cavalry entered the Chinese border. As for the Khitan rebellion is just a "sign", there is no need to be too anxious, Xue Chongxun thinks that the most important thing at the moment is his own mother, not that he can leave Princess Taiping if he is the emperor, and with her Xue Chongxun's strength can be stronger and consolidate his rule.

When he set off, Xue Chongxun found that there was a copy of Li Shouyi's in the concerto, and this self-proclaimed and outspoken person immediately appeared in his mind, and out of curiosity, he took it and carried it in his arms out of curiosity.

His car was still in the same car as before, and he hadn't had time to change it according to the regulations, and his entourage was only a team of the Flying Tiger Regiment and a few domestic slaves, which was already very simple. Sanniang and he were in the same car to accompany the guard.

The distance from Chang'an to Huaqing Palace is not far, and the location of Huaqing Palace is only dozens of miles away from the suburbs of Chang'an. However, Sanniang in the same car is a stuffy gourd, and she usually has nothing to say, so Xue Chongxun took out Li Shouyi's recital at this time and took a closer look, it turned out that it was not about the throne or orthodoxy or anything like that, it seemed to be a suggestion to persuade Xue Chongxun not to love money and food. After the money law, property is more easy to carry, a small bag is worth a lot of money to buy a lot of things, but it gives convenience to those who are not engaged in production, in fact, money can neither be used as clothes when the people are cold, nor can they be hungry when they are hungry; And a lot of fabric and grain is not worth a few dollars, so you don't have to worry about being plundered by bandits, but it can keep the people of the world from starving and chilling. Therefore, Li Shouyi wrote to persuade the superiors to pay attention to agriculture and mulberry and not to think about money all day long.

After watching such a concerto, Xue Chongxun could only laugh at it. People like Li Shouyi can set an example of honesty and morality, but they have little insight into the economy, at least in Xue Chongxun's eyes, his remarks are too old and useless. really doesn't have the talent of Liu An, who is greedy for money and lustful. However, as long as Li Shouyi says that Lao Tzu's name is not correct and does not go well, even if he is worry-free, he will go back and write a few words of praise and pretend to accept the advice.

The winter in Guanzhong was dry and cold, but when Xue Chongxun arrived at Princess Taiping's bedroom in Huaqing Palace, the lower palace room was full of smoke and water vapor because of the indoor hot spring, and Xue Chongxun even wondered if he would get rheumatism when he was active in this place.

Princess Taiping stayed in Huaqing Palace almost all winter, but she was not ignorant of the outside world, Xue Chongxun thought that she knew everything, and it was strange that those ministers in the court, especially Dou Huaizhen and others, did not please both sides. Sure enough, as soon as she met Princess Taiping, she said: "It's not that the Khitans want to rebel, why don't you stay in Beijing and come here?" ”

Xue Chongxun only got the side report this morning, but Princess Taiping already knew about it, maybe she knew it earlier than herself.

"My mother is not in the capital, and I always feel that there is something shortcoming...... It's like an empty city, so here it is. "Xue Chongxun is a serious way.

He stood next to him, and Princess Taiping was lazily half-lying on the soft fur directly above, what if he was the emperor, he was still unconsciously short in front of Princess Taiping, after all, he was a direct elder.

The palace room was very warm, and Princess Taiping even wore only the thin silk clothes of the spring and autumn seasons, and there was a gentle backrest behind the soft collapse, on which she leaned back, and her breasts, which were half-exposed outside the clothes, naturally stretched out, like soft water waves.

Princess Taiping heard Xue Chongxun's words, and a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes, that smile made Xue Chongxun feel strange, how to describe it is very cool, and it seems to be able to penetrate people's minds, Xue Chongxun seemed to be stripped naked for a moment, and all kinds of bad thoughts were seen through by her. She wouldn't see that I wanted to put my face on her chest, would she? Princess Taiping can't read minds, so she shouldn't know! Xue Chongxun hurriedly looked away, looking as if nothing had happened.

Princess Taiping said lazily: "Huaqing Palace is not cold in winter, not hot in summer, and there are songs, dances, operas, chess, games, poetry and paintings, usually I can let Yuqing accompany me to cultivate, and I don't feel bored, I think I might as well stay here for the rest of my life, anyway, your wings are hard and you will ascend the throne and call the emperor the emperor in the world without saying a word, what do you want me to do as an idler?" ”

She said that she wanted to listen to Xue Chongxun and desperately explain and confess her loyalty, but how could she have thought that Xue Chongxun would occasionally make a mistake, "I ascended the throne and became emperor, not with my mother's permission?" You've probably secretly supported me, haven't you? ”

Princess Taiping's face changed slightly, and she said coldly: "You have taken away my Li family's country, how can I support you?" ”

Xue Chongxun stood up straight, looked at each other and said, "Mother dares to say that I don't know anything about what I'm doing?" Don't have the slightest means to prevent it beforehand? The fact is that the ministers persuaded me three times, and I didn't even have any obstacles, since my mother wanted to defend Li Tang Jiangshan, why did such a situation occur? Anyway, you expected it before I was given military power to conquer the Turks? ”

Princess Taiping was stunned, then turned angry, sat up straight and said: "What are you secretly doing under the advice of Su Jin and a group of people, how can I guess, how can I think that you are bold enough to dare to sit in that position!" ”

"Mother doesn't know anything, how can she say Su Jin in one bite, is Su Jin very famous?" Xue Chongxun stepped forward and took two steps, arguing, "There is no one else here, Yuqing, you won't talk nonsense, right?" Why doesn't the mother be honest with her sons? After his maternal grandfather Gaozong and his maternal grandmother Emperor Dasheng, now there is only one mother left, and a few families other than Ruizong are not able to lose our heads, Li Sanlang and his mother lost the struggle for power, and several brothers were all removed. In the future, even if her mother wants to restore Li Tang Sheji, she will not be in the line of Gaozong for a long time, but she will just have the surname Li, how much does it have to do with her mother? And my mother has always had low self-esteem, and I think that I am inferior to my grandmother, and the general trend in the world is different from the past, it will be very dangerous for you to ascend the throne and become the empress yourself...... For the above reasons, you have allowed me to step by step for a long time, but in fact, I have been walking according to your ideas and have never left at all. ”

Princess Taiping's eyes widened and her face showed anger, and she was silent for a while before she sighed, "Do you think I'm just because of these reasons?" ”

Xue Chongxun pondered for a while, and didn't understand what the words meant, so he blurted out, "Please make it clear." ”

"If you don't understand, it's just that." Princess Taiping said.

Xue Chongxun saw that she was not angry, so he hurriedly changed his tone and said: "In recent years, the son of heaven of the Li family has been a puppet at all, and our family has to bear the name of disloyalty of a strong minister for a long time, so it is better to be so upright and bright." What does it matter who is the emperor, my mother wants to be a retainer to you, and she will support your throne with all her heart. ”

Princess Taiping smiled, "Your face is full of ambition, and you still speak so lightly. ”

Xue Chongxun subconsciously touched his face with his hand, and then realized that he was not admitting himself, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Mother will return to Beijing with me, you will be the queen mother, and you will not have to listen to you in official and private affairs." ”

Princess Taiping's anger gradually subsided, her back leaned back again, and said thoughtfully: "I have eight children, all of whom have started their own families, but I can't enjoy the joy of family, now you move to Daming Palace to live, but you can always accompany me." ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "As long as you return to Beijing with me, Erchen will definitely accompany his mother every day." ”

After a while, Xue Chongxun suddenly came to inspiration and came up with a very novel idea, since Empress Gaozong Wuhou can be two generations of emperors, now the imperial court can chase Xue Chongxun's father and ancestor as the title of emperor, and also give Princess Taiping the name of an emperor, now called Emperor Taishang, one satisfies her previous ambitions, and the other avoids the general trend of the second empress in power.

Xue Chongxun said his thoughts, but Princess Taiping only said that he was messing around. But she didn't explicitly stop it, and Xue Chongxun took it as her acquiescence.

The next day, Princess Taiping sent an order to the officials and guards of the Huaqing Palace, saying that they could not refuse the emperor's filial piety and returned to Beijing from now on. Xue Chongxun also went back with her, sitting in the imperial chariot of the Tang Dynasty, this car was nominally an honor given by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, Princess Taiping had long been enjoying the emperor's treatment.

In any case, Xue Chongxun simply breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, and shook hands with Princess Taiping again, which made him more relaxed than when he defeated the main Turkic force. The emperor is known as a lonely person, but Xue Chongxun really doesn't want to make himself a lonely person, and it's too tiring to live when he has to bear a crisis by himself, so what's the fun of being an emperor? Xue Chongxun does not have the ambition of thousands of generations, and it is not easy to manage a generation of rivers and mountains. As long as Princess Taiping is in the same boat, not only will there be a strong force ally and a large number of bureaucrats and clans can be supported, but it will also be a kind of appeasement to the Li family clan and its supporters: since Princess Taiping is surnamed Li and she is in power, it is impossible to exterminate the Li family clan. Those who were in power did not have great pressure, and it was difficult for them to give up their lives with those in power. G
