[Chapter 43: Xiao Lang's Advice and Punishment of Weihou] (2)
Xue Chongjian couldn't stop him, and wanted to grab Xiao Jiangyuan and ask, but Xiao Jiangyuan quietly hid, didn't give himself any chance to speak, and turned away.
"Hey......" Xue Chongjian stretched out his arm, but only touched a strand of broken hair hanging from Xiao Jiangyuan's ear. The sunlight outside the door was dazzling, and there was a touch of heat waves, reflecting into the house, just illuminating Xiao Jiangyuan's body. When Xiao Jiangyuan turned to leave, his side face happened to be against the light, and Xue Chongjian was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Jiangyuan's side face when he lowered his eyes and smiled was beautiful, but it was just ...... It's too much like a little lady.
Moving her gaze down, Xue Chongjian was stunned againβshe ...... Is it that there has never been an Adam's apple?
Hurry back to the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion, Xue Chongjian told her mother Princess Taiping everything today, and also raised her own questions: "If this matter is not true, we will have no evidence, what should we do if we are asked in the future?" Do you want the people of the world to know that our righteous teachers who helped Li Tang have wronged and even slandered sinners? β
"** and the princess killed the Son of Heaven, such a royal family is ugly, just talk about it casually when you need it, do you still have to file a case and let the three divisions of the Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department be tried?" Princess Taiping sneered, "What a Xiao Jiangyuan, I can connect everything that happened before and tell this big lie, if I hadn't known her as a person, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by her." This lie is most afraid that it is all false, but like her, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The soldiers' brains can't turn this corner, and now, they can be regarded as famous. β
Seeing that Xue Chongjian was stunned, Princess Taiping shook her head: "You, sometimes it's really an elm head." Although you Aya was also honest and kind back then, you also knew the world, let alone me, where did you come from with such an upright temperament, and what will you do in the future? β
Although he still disagreed, but thinking that there was no good way to do anything else, Xue Chongjian could only sigh, and said with a helpless smile: "Geng Zhi has the benefit of being upright, at least when the heroes in the future are great, I don't have to be suspicious of the emperor, just continue to be myself." β
Princess Taiping's expression was slightly gloomy: "Do you know why I no longer bear to act in a low-key manner, but choose to launch another coup d'Γ©tat and set up a son of heaven again?" β
Xue Chongjian said: "I have indeed always had doubts about this. Although the other party is a cousin, I must have helped him, but I didn't expect that A-Niang had suffered the loss of being a hero, and she was moved so easily. β
"Where am I being moved? As early as the collapse of the first emperor, I had this thought. Taking Xue Chongjian's surprise into her eyes, Princess Taiping smiled proudly, "I was so forbearant back then, how did the emperor treat me?" Lee Chongjun's coup d'Γ©tat, I didn't do anything, and I was not almost affected? The first emperor is my own brother, and this is still the case, let alone Empress Wei? A-Niang is eloquent and strategic, and she has ascended to the throne of the emperor, what is she Weihou? It shouldn't have been her turn. The edict that Wan'er and I pondered for a night to write was actually deleted by her with just one sentence from Zong Chuke. At this moment, she is also stained with the light of the title of the queen mother, but on the day of the incident, this title will not be used. β
"However, even if the coup is successful and King Xiang ascends to the throne, won't he be suspicious of A-Niang?"
"King Xiang and the first emperor are different, and from now on, only my sister in this world is the same generation as him, and she can be regarded as dependent on each other. Whether it is public or private, as long as I don't rebel, he won't do anything to me. Power is a double-edged sword, it can lead to killing, but it can also save people's lives, after all, the Son of Heaven is not freewheeling, if the king really wants to move me one day, he must also weigh it. β
Xue Chongjian nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "How familiar is A-Niang with A-Yuan?" β
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Princess Taiping said, "Anyway, it's more familiar than you." β
"That Ah Niang thinks...... Is he male or female? β
Princess Taiping chuckled in surprise: "You ask me, she is a eunuch, is she a man or a woman?" β
"Yes, she's a eunuch, maybe she shouldn't have it......"
"What's wrong with you?" Princess Taiping thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Jiangyuan is indeed a boy and a girl, but looking at Chang'an, there are many men who are as beautiful as boys and girls, why did you suddenly suspect her identity?" Could it be ...... If she were a woman, would you intend to take her as a concubine? β
"Ah Niang, don't talk nonsense, don't say that I can't talk about the love between men and women for Ah Yuan, even if there is, even if Ah Yuan is a woman, it can't be me who takes her as a concubine."
"It can't be you, could it be Li Sanlang?"
Xue Chongjian stopped talking. Princess Taiping saw that her son's expression was different, and she was a little incredulous for a while: "Is it possible...... Li Sanlang ...... to Xiao Jiangyuan"
"It's really a bit ambiguous, and since the time of Shangyang Palace, the relationship between the two of them has been good."
Princess Taiping's eyes narrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought. Xiao Jiangyuan is both male and female, A-Niang values her, Li Bao'er likes her, and even Li Sanlang treats her ...... It turned out that she had a good relationship with Li Sanlang back then.
Recalling what she saw in the Xianju Palace, as well as Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan when the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were playing polo, Princess Taiping became more and more sure of what she thought. Xiao Jiangyuan could not have predicted what happened today, and that was the benefit of her exquisite in all directions. Thinking that she had once recognized Xiao Jiangyuan's loyalty, Princess Taiping couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Jiangyuan seems to have never followed anyone on the surface, and he looks very loyal, but in fact, he is not waiting and choosing, rather than overuse?
At this point, she is really better than the blue, better than Wan'er.
"You just asked me, Xiao Jiangyuan is a man or a woman, but what do you see?" Princess Taiping asked seemingly casually.
After all, it was his biological mother in front of him, and Xue Chongjian had never concealed anything, so he told Princess Taiping what he had discovered: "...... But after all, she is a eunuch, and she is different from ordinary people, and it may be normal to have no Adam's apple - if she is a woman, then it is still a good thing, and I just happened to match her with my cousin. β
It seems that after the matter is completed, I am going to ask Wan'er properly, Princess Taiping thought.
At the moment, it is the coup d'Γ©tat that is the most important. On the second day of June, Li Xian died, on the fourth day of June, Empress Wei announced to the world, on the seventh day of June, Li Chongmao ascended the throne, Empress Wei was the queen mother, and today is June 19.
Together, they had been preparing for seventeen days.
Now, it's finally about to begin.
In the middle of the night, the stars are dotted and the wind is refreshing. The heat of the scorching summer has finally faded a little, which makes people play a fan and add a touch of coolness.
After dinner, Li Longji gathered with his wife and concubine, watched the two children play on the lichen, listened to the wife and concubine's family, and only felt peaceful for a while. He leaned on the low slump, and if he had nothing to say, he would have slept peacefully.
After thinking about it, he finally spoke: "Ah Jun, Lan Niang, Rou Jiang, I ......"
"San Lang!" Wang Jun's voice suddenly came from the back room, and there was a hint of joy. As soon as the words fell, she stepped out. A bearded suit was tightly wrapped around her body, soft armor was added to her chest, back, shoulders and legs, her hair was pulled up, combed into a man's bun, wrapped in an ink-colored head, with a dagger and a Tang knife around her waist, and she held a spear in her hand.
Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he knew that he didn't need to say anything. These days, what he has to do, he does not deliberately hide from them, and although they are women, they have never trapped their thoughts in the boudoir.
Facing her husband's gentle smile, Wang Jun's heart was surging, but she still smiled: "Is it good-looking?" β
Li Longji hooked the corners of his lips: "You look good in whatever you wear." β
Wang Jun chuckled: "Seriously." β
Li Longji said seriously: "What I said is also serious. β
Wang Jun was silent, as if she was a little choked, but her eyes were shining with dazzling light: "The concubine is willing to go with her husband and return together." β
ββ¦β¦ Aren't you afraid? β
"Is Saburo afraid?"
Li Longji paused and said, "I can't be afraid. β
"The concubine has nothing to be afraid of, it will be done, the concubine will go with San Lang to enjoy the happiness, and if the matter fails, the concubine will live and die with San Lang!"
Liu Lanniang is the most silent on weekdays, but at this moment, she also pulled up her son and walked to Li Longji's side: "San Lang still remember, what did our little Erlang catch when he caught Zhou?" β
Li Longji stroked the eldest son's head first, and then came to pull the second son's fleshy little hand, and said with a smile: "Remember, he grabbed a ritual knife." I don't think the knife is flashy and unrealistic, and I am not very satisfied, but some people say that he caught the knife for me. The ritual knife is not open, it is only used for decoration on weekdays, he holds the instrument knife, and he will be able to use martial arts in the future, but it is harmless to protect the inside, and the benevolent is invincible externally. β
Liu Lanniang bowed her head: "God will protect San Lang, and San Lang is also invincible to the outside world." β
Zhao Roujiang hugged her son, with tears in her eyes, but she still smiled: "San Lang is the husband of my sisters and concubines, such a big thing, if you don't worry about it, it's fake." It's just that I'm worried about worrying, but we still believe that Saburo will return triumphantly. Although Sister Lan and I can't help like Sister Jun, we won't cause trouble for San Lang. We stayed at home and waited for Saburo to come home. β
Li Longji was soft for a while, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He doesn't talk about his wife and concubine on weekdays, even to strange women, which is also excellent. Because he thinks that women are beautiful, men should be treated like this. He didn't allow his women to be unhappy, but at the moment he had to worry them. He felt a little guilty in his heart, but he still had an arbitrary smile on his face, and his tone was very brisk: "Okay, Ah Jun still don't follow." Without waiting for Wang Jun to speak, he continued, "I will hand over the lives of my brothers and the safety of the entire Five Kings' Mansion to you." β
Wang Jun finally couldn't hold back, and was so choked up that he couldn't speak for a while, so he just nodded and nodded heavily.
Li Longji patted Wang Jun's shoulder soothingly, and sighed leisurely: "It's finally about to start, I won't lose." β
Outside, Xiao Jiangyuan's figure was trapped in the mottled shadows of the trees. She stood still for a moment, then turned around and left silently.
Jinglong 4th year, June 20.
For more than ten days, everything has been going very smoothly. Li Longji thought that his fortune had finally arrived, and it should be the case today, but he didn't want to be hit in the face early in the morning - Wang Maozhong was gone.
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
