Chapter 171: A Transaction
Princess Taiping did not say this resolutely, because she also knew very well in her heart that the life and death of these people did not depend on her or Wu Youji. Wu Youji said in a snort: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this matter ...... The last general will not be the master. ”
Princess Taiping's face was cold, and she nodded lightly, "I know!" You postpone the execution, I'll go see the queen of heaven! ”
Wu Youji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The last general will obey!" ”
When Li Gui heard this, he jumped out and said coldly: "What right does Her Royal Highness the princess have to interfere in the major affairs of the imperial court?" General Wu, the will of the Queen of Heaven, do you dare to disobey? ”
Princess Taiping looked at his dress, frowned slightly, and said, "Who are you?" ”
Li Gui straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Wu Xiangxiang followed Li Gui and met Princess Taiping!" ”
Princess Taiping's eyes flashed with excitement, a sneer appeared on her lips, and she bowed her head slightly: "Okay!" National affairs, the palace must not interfere! The royal family affairs, the palace can't interfere! But you're a cheap talent, you can jump out and point fingers? ”
Li Gui was slightly angry, and protested: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the villain is on the order of the military minister......
Before he finished speaking, Princess Taiping flicked her sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Take down this dog who doesn't know how to be respectful and has no one in his eyes!" ”
Princess Taiping gave an order, and the two healthy women immediately strode forward, Li Gui also wanted to resist, those two healthy women are sumo masters, how can he succeed, one point left and right, raise his hand to grab, like an eagle catching a chicken, hold him in his hand, his arms are in the hands of two fat healthy women, just like two reed sticks.
Princess Taiping said: "Tie up, Shen Jiang!" ”
Li Gui was twisted, he was not afraid, and when he heard Princess Taiping's words, he couldn't help but be shocked and exclaimed: "Princess Taiping! I'm a martial artist, you dare to kill me? ”
Princess Taiping smiled coldly and said to Wu Youji: "This palace is going to see the queen of heaven, General Wu, please wait!" ”
Wu You Ji hurriedly said: "Wu You Ji will wait for the news of the princess." ”
Princess Taiping brushed her sleeves and left. The two healthy women next to him had already blocked Li Gui's mouth, so they used the white silk as a rope and tied it up strongly, they were also worried that this Li Gui would not sink into the water, and they stuffed a big stone into his arms and bound it together, Princess Taiping got off the boat and landed on the shore, and this side has thrown the tied Li Gui into the river.
There was a splash of water with a "tom", and Li Gui, who was tied into the shape of a baby with a big stone in his arms, quickly sank into the water. The water rippled. Not even a few blisters popped up.
Wu Zetian had returned to the palace residence, and her daughter's resistance made her extremely angry, but once she had made a decision. No one can change it. Maybe when she is still a talented person and a Zhaoyi, she will succumb to the will of others and do things that go against her own will. But that's a long way off.
In the past few decades, no one dared to disobey her will, when she was still the queen, after Gaozong conspired with Shangguanyi to abolish it, she got the news, rushed to the emperor's palace, and sharply asked why Gaozong was abolished, and she had any faults. At the time, no matter how tough her attitude was. There is also a trace of panic in her heart, if Gaozong insists on abolishing the queen, no matter how tough she is, she will not be able to get rid of the ending of entering the cold palace.
But Gaozong was far more cowardly than she thought, he denied it in a daze, and he put all the blame on Shangguan Yi with a red face, and it was then that she began to realize how powerful she was. It was then that she began to try to control even her imperial husband.
Now, she no longer needs to look at anyone's face, and she doesn't need to change her mind because of anyone, even if it's her own daughter.
Wu Zetian returned to the palace. The emotions gradually calmed down, and the princess of the daughter stiffened when she saw the mother and daughter. I really regret it in my heart, she accepted the benefits of Wu Chenghe's big sect, and she was dizzy for a while, and she came out to draw the lead, but she didn't want Princess Taiping to react so violently, she was worried that Empress Wu was forced to stop the matter due to her daughter's reaction, and Wu Chenghei was not easy to explain, and she was worried that after Princess Taiping was forced to marry, she would have resentment towards herself, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
After a while, Shangguan Wan'er sent a message, saying that Princess Taiping left angrily, and Princess Qianjin was even more afraid, she was entangled around Wu Zetian, and there was a ride without a match, while comforting Wu Zetian, while thinking about how to get this matter back, don't offend in all aspects, and before she came up with a comprehensive idea, Tuan'er suddenly came in in a hurry and reported to Wu Zetian: "Queen of Heaven, Princess Taiping asks to see!" ”
Wu Zetian and Princess Qianjin were both stunned, and Wu Zetian said wonderfully: "Since she returned to the city in anger, how could she come to see me again?" That's not that girl's character......"
Princess Qianjin hurriedly said: "I think Taiping has a change of heart, but it may not be necessary to figure it out, the queen of heaven hurry up to see what Taiping says." ”
Wu Zetian nodded and ordered, "Call her in!" ”
After a while, Princess Taiping walked into the room, Wu Zetian snorted coldly with a calm face, and said, "You have really grown up, your wings are stiff, and you are angry with your mother!" Since you have returned to Luoyang, why did you go back again? ”
Princess Taiping said: "Mother, my daughter went and returned for the sake of King Xun." ”
Wu Zetian's face sank, and he said, "King Xun? What does King Xun have to do with you? ”
Princess Taiping fell to her knees and said in a mournful voice: "Mother, my daughter met the warship escorting King Xun halfway, and at the Longmen Yikou, King Xun's father and son were hanged to death in the bow of the ship. When the daughter arrived, King Xun and his nine sons had all been hanged, and now only four young sons remained. ”
Wu Zetian said in a deep voice: "King Xun rebelled, the crime is unforgivable!" National affairs, don't ask about one of your daughters' family! ”
Princess Taiping smiled miserably, she should have expected that this was her mother's reaction, she begged her to forgive her innocent and harmless husband's life, but her mother did not allow it, how could she let go of King Xun's life now, she just had a trace of fantasy, and wanted to beg her.
If the queen mother can be moved by the affection of her children, she will not be her.
Princess Taiping took a long breath, slowly raised her head and said, "Mother! King Xun and his nine sons had been hanged, leaving only four young sons, the eldest of whom was less than ten years old. Even if King Xun rebelled, how could a few naughty children who were less than ten years old be involved? Ask the mother to forgive them their capital sin, and if the mother agrees, the daughter ...... Willing to marry a martial daughter-in-law! ”
Wu Zetian stared at Taiping for a long time, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a smile escaped from the corner of his lips, and he turned to Tuan'er and said: "You go, pass on my will, King Xun and his nine sons, choose a place to bury them with the gift of a concubine!" All the concubines and daughters are all palace slaves, and the remaining four young sons ......"
Wu Zetian groaned slightly, and said: "All of them are assigned to Lingnan Leizhou, and the local government is strictly guarded!" ”
Tuan'er agreed and retreated.
King Xun Li Sujie, and Li Ying, Li Wan, Li Ji, Li Yi and other nine sons have died, buried casually as a concubine, the remaining four sons Li Lin, Li Xuan, Li Xuan, Li Qingu, in the Taiping princess agreed to marriage as an exchange condition, was pardoned for a death, long ban on Leizhou.
After Wu Zetian finished ordering, he smiled at Princess Taiping and said, "Daughter, get up." For my mother's sake, I want you to marry into a martial arts family, but also for your sake, and besides, if you are young, do you really want to be widowed for the rest of your life? Hehe, it just so happens that the big matchmaker is also there, let's discuss your marriage. ”
Princess Taiping heard Wu Zetian and Yan Yuese say the word "daughter", but her heart was inexplicably cold, and there was an indescribable sadness, what kind of mother and daughter is this? Everything can be used as an exchange of interests, and the same is true for one's own marriage, how vulnerable is family affection in the face of power and interests?
Seeing that things had evolved to this point, Princess Qianjin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Our royal family, but we haven't had a happy event for a long time, and Taiping got married, this is a great happy event, especially if you marry a martial artist, you are talented and beautiful, and you have to plan well......"
Princess Taiping hated her very much in her heart, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Who said that I was going to marry Wu Chenghei?" ”
As soon as this sentence was said, Wu Zetian and Princess Qianjin were stunned, and Wu Zetian said angrily: "Ling Yue, do you want to regret it?" ”
Princess Taiping said proudly: "My daughter must learn from her words, how can she regret it?" What's more, the mother has made up her mind, how can her daughter regret it? However, the daughter promised to marry a martial wife, but she didn't promise to marry Wu Chenghe! ”
Wu Zetian said strangely: "If you don't marry Wu Chenghei, who do you want to marry?" ”
Princess Taiping's eyes flashed and she said, "Wu Youji! ”
Princess Qianjin was dumbfounded when she heard this, Wu Zetian thought for a while, and said, "Youji? Oh...... That kid, I remembered. If I'm not mistaken, Yuji has a wife. ”
Princess Qianjin knew that Taiping hated herself very much, so she couldn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Taiping, Wu Youji's wife is still alive, and the relationship between the husband and wife is extremely harmonious, how can it be ......?"
Princess Taiping ignored her, and only said to Wu Zetian: "My daughter agrees to marry a martial wife, but my daughter wants to marry, only marry Wu Youji!" Isn't my mother willing to satisfy her daughter even if she has this little wish? ”
Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said, "He already has a wife." ”
Princess Taiping smiled slightly, with a hint of provocation in her desolate smile: "Then, it's your mother's business, you can force your daughter to marry, can't you force Wu Youji to marry?" ”
She glanced at Princess Qianjin coldly again, bowed her head slightly, and turned around and retreated.
Princess Qianjin looked at Wu Zetian with a worried face, and said: "The queen of heaven ......"
Wu Zetian was silent for a long time, and suddenly let out a loud voice: "Hahahaha!" Good! Okay, it's worthy of being my daughter, haha Ha ......, Ling Yue, this child, her personality is really like me! ”
Princess Qianjin called tentatively: "Queen of Heaven? ”
Wu Zetian laughed and said, "That's it!" I didn't want to wronged her too much, so I let her ...... It's okay to marry Wu Youji. ”
Princess Qianjin said blankly: "Can ...... Wu Youji has a wife? ”
Wu Zetian glanced at her lightly, and Princess Qianjin suddenly felt a shudder.
