One hundred and forty-four Return to the barracks The change of the prince
It seems that it is true that I have a disaster in the palace, and Xuan Che doesn't know who the mastermind behind this scene is, and the only person I can think of is Xiao Yu.
Xuan Che walked up to me, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Princess, no matter whose conspiracy this is, fortunately, you came out of the palace by mistake, and it can be regarded as the will of heaven." It's better for you to stay in this Moon Palace, and I, the Moon Worship Sect, and the entire southern Xinjiang will definitely keep their promise and serve you as the Lord! ”
"To be an incompetent lord who can't do anything?" I asked rhetorically.
Xuan Che's eyes were a little surprised.
"If I really want to be this lord, I can't stay here, I can't let my people fight for my own safety, what do you want her to do?"
Hyun Che didn't seem to expect me to say that, opened his mouth, and finally didn't speak.
"Now, the war between southern Xinjiang and Chang'an is imminent, no matter who wants to kill me, these people, these soldiers are innocent, and they don't need to die for anyone."
Xuan Che groaned slightly, "If the princess is worried that the war will last for a long time and the southern Xinjiang will be outnumbered, then the princess doesn't have to worry." Southern Xinjiang is a small country with weak soldiers, but my Lunatic Worship Sect also raises 100,000 dead soldiers, each with one enemy and one hundred, let alone stepping on the Central Plains, even if you want the whole world, I can get it for you! ”
100,000 dead! One Lunatic cultist is already so terrifying, 100,000, what a treacherous and powerful force that! I couldn't help but gasp, don't look at Xuan Che who always looks light and breezy, the strength behind him is really powerful and terrifying!
I finally understood why southern Xinjiang has always been low-key and introverted, but this time it broke through ten cities on the border with lightning speed, and Chang'an was caught off guard.
The still water flows deeply, and the southern Xinjiang is low-key not because their ability is small, but because they have nothing to fear in this world, they don't need to meet left and right to please anyone, who to flatter, who to deter, they just need to live their lives in peace and stability, if there is someone who is not afraid of death to come to offend, then the consequence must be death without a place to be buried.
This kind of power, this calmness, and this calmness, I'm afraid Chang'an will never be able to learn it.
I looked at Xuan Che and shook my head firmly at his proposal, "What you can get by fighting will never be able to control it, and if you get the land, you can't win the hearts of the people, it's useless." I don't want this kind of boring position, and I Qingyi, I don't have much talent for managing the country, so it's a pity to leave all this to me. ”
"Hehe," Xuan Che smiled, "At this point, you really look like your mother." ”
"My mother? What did she say? I asked.
"Once, your mother was also faced with the choice of owning the world and defending a country alone. Guess what she chose? "Xuan Che deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Chose to revive Chang'an? This Chang'an people know that they still praise my mother's exploits. "In Chang'an, I have also heard too many stories about my mother, and the general meaning is that without her, there would be no magnificent Chang'an City today.
Xuan Che shook his head, waved his hand again and again, and said, "She didn't choose anything, she married your father and went to live with her husband and children......"
……
I don't know why a talented and ambitious person like Niang would choose to marry Beimo in the first place, it stands to reason that when she got married, she no longer needed to use the way of harmony to ensure the stability of Chang'an. But the only thing I know for sure is that my mother likes the decisions she makes, and she has never regretted it in her life, including when she died.
At this point, I'm really a bit like my mother.
I didn't have a good education like my mother, and I was in the Qinglou when I was less than ten years old, of course, for these things like settling down and governing the country, a Chang'an eldest princess, of course, knows much more than me, a little girl, and my mother doesn't touch things, what qualifications do I have to fight?
"Actually, Qingyi, do you know that the master of this world should have been handed over to women, especially women like you and your mother."
"Why?" I was very puzzled.
Xuan Che sat down on the chair, "Some people say that governing a big country is like cooking Xiaoxian, how can a man do such a delicate thing well?" Moreover, in the face of the temptation of the whole world, I am afraid that only women like you and your mother are discouraged. Men are aggressive animals, the more he has, the more he thinks he is great, the more greedy he is, and in the end this world becomes a race for power, who cares if he has no ability in the end, whether he is qualified to sit on all this? It is because of women's indisputability that men can easily take the country away from them. ”
"But even so, women are always no match for men in the battle on the battlefield."
"Maybe after this right is handed over to a woman, there will be no fighting in the world."
"Is the priest Xuanche willing to stop fighting for me?"
Hyun Che raised his head, looked at me, and didn't speak.
"Now, I'm here, then everyone's goal has been achieved, if Chang'an agrees not to attack, there is really no need for the war to continue." I advised.
"Do you really think Chang'an won't attack? This matter, they won't forget it like this. ”
"I know, that's why I'm going back."
"You want to go back?" Xuan Che was puzzled.
"Yes, I have to go back, I need to repay and explain everything that happened because of me, and the real contradiction between Southern Xinjiang, Chang'an, and Northern Desert is that they can't check and balance each other well, so that the three parties are isolated rather than assisted by the three parties. Moreover, my heart is also there, there are people waiting for me, and there are people waiting for this group of warriors to return. ”
I was resolute, and Xuan Che didn't refute me directly, "Is it because of the brocade-clothed guard named Ye Linghan?" ”
I don't deny it, but I don't fully admit it either.
Ye Linghan is one thing, if I have a choice, then I will also be like my mother, choose a husband and children, and live with the person I like for the rest of my life. And now, I don't have much choice, if I want not to be played with by others, I have to trust myself first, and I have the power that others can't defeat.
I am very happy to have the help of Southern Xinjiang, but I am not willing to be the master of Southern Xinjiang, but this does not mean that I do not need the support of Southern Xinjiang, nor does it mean that I will cut off any contact with Southern Xinjiang from now on, on the contrary, I have to rely on the power of Southern Xinjiang to make myself stronger, so strong that I can have the right to choose my own destiny.
"I think I still want to go back to the palace." I insisted.
"Do you know how dangerous it is?" Hyun Cheol asked.
I nodded, "I know, I already know the ins and outs of the matter, but I can't stop doing it because of the danger, besides, the cause of my father's death is unknown, and the real culprit of the fire, I must find it!" ”
"The person who wants to kill me must also be the main culprit who set fire to the Holy Palace in the first place, I must catch him! Please trust me once, just like you believe in my mother. ”
Xuan Che thought about it calmly and replied with one word: "Okay." ”
Xuan Che sent me out of the Moon Palace, and the prince of Southern Xinjiang sent me and Liang Sheng all the way outside the city gate.
When I returned to Chang'an this time, I was not alone, and there was a warlock sent by Xuan Che to protect me, Liang Sheng.
A hundred miles away from the city gate of southern Xinjiang, there was the place where the Yejia army was encamped, and the soldiers guarding the camp looked at our group of people and immediately raised their vigilance, and they could see from a distance that the army was already organized and ready to go.
The prince of southern Xinjiang stopped at the border with me, and Yehan immediately brought men and horses over when he got the report.
"General Night, we're meeting again!" The prince of southern Xinjiang said.
"Yes, I am much happier to see you this time than last time, I have embezzled other people's things, but I have to know what I have returned!" The night general's drunkard did not mean to drink, pointing to Sang and scolding Huai.
"Haha, this time, I won't quarrel with you, Princess Qingyi said, it's better not to fight this battle, tomorrow I will withdraw from southern Xinjiang, and return eight of the ten cities to Chang'an, which can be regarded as our sincerity to take the initiative to surrender, and I also hope that General Ye will not be greedy and not in love." The prince of southern Xinjiang said that this war in southern Xinjiang has stopped, and if Chang'an continues to entangle, it will also be a disaster.
Yehan looked at me incredulously, looked at the prince of Southern Xinjiang, and seemed to be figuring out the truth of his words, for a country, sending troops has never been a trivial matter, and it is even more difficult to collect troops, but is Southern Xinjiang really just because of Qingyi's words this time to withdraw troops and abandon the war?
After the prince of Southern Xinjiang finished speaking, he hugged his fists, turned the horse's head and left, leaving only me and Liang Sheng to stay where we were.
"Princess, they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Yehan asked with concern.
"No," I shook my head, "Lord Night, I promised you, and I did it!" ”
Ye Han's eyes were complicated, distressed, unbearable and cold.
"Let's go see the prince." He turned his horse's head, and the rest of us began to rush into the barracks.
In the prince's military tent, a simple black wooden coffin was placed in the middle, and the white tent and elegiac couplets hung on it, creating a sad and solemn atmosphere.
The prince knelt in front of the spiritual throne without saying a word, his body was immersed in an atmosphere of sadness and fragility, like a fallen leaf, which could be blown away by the wind at any time, and no longer like the previous irritability and coldness.
General Yehan and I walked in and bowed in front of the spiritual seat of the maid Aunt Wu, in fact, it was Aunt Wu who really saved the prince and stopped the war this time.
When the prince saw me come in, he raised his eyes slightly, and I was stunned, for this was the first time he had looked at me with no hostility or contempt in his eyes, but a frank gaze.
"Prince, don't be too sad." I didn't know what to say, and I comforted weakly.
"Qingyi, I'm sorry...... It's good that you're back. He said, his voice soft as if he were talking to himself.
I looked at the prince in surprise, he was no longer the same person.
