One hundred and fifty-seventh, Pingyang armor

After the prince returned, someone in the court really proposed to let Princess Pingyang go on the expedition with the prince.

It was none other than Xiao Yu, who was the uncle of the dynasty, was named the Duke of Song, and was also the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Just when Gaozu and the ministers were discussing the issue of the prince's conquest of Liu Heimin's materials, grain and grass, Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and admonished: "Your Majesty, Liu Heimin colluded with the Turks and was menacing, and the ambition of the Turkic wolf son had long coveted the Central Plains of China. ”

"It's just that they haven't been unified in the grassland for a long time, and they don't have the strength to march into the Central Plains on a large scale, and now that there is finally such a suitable candidate who can help them fight the vanguard, the Turks will definitely not easily watch Liu Heimin fall into a desperate situation."

"In order to eradicate this troublesome situation in one fell swoop and prevent him from having any chance to escape, the minister suggested that Princess Pingyang assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and go out together, so that Princess Pingyang can be stationed at Niangzi Pass, which is the throat of the land of Jinji."

"When His Majesty entered Chang'an from the west of Jin, thanks to Princess Pingyang who guarded the Niangzi Pass, this time the prince conquered Liu Heimin, if she can be stationed here, first, it can cut off Liu Heimin's escape route, and second, it can prevent the Turks from suddenly coming in to help."

Gaozu and the ministers were stunned, how powerful Princess Pingyang's martial arts strategy was, the courtiers and Gaozu were clear, at the beginning of Li Tang's founding of the country, she raised tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as a daughter, and helped her father and brother win countless battles.

The army led by Gaozu back then was able to attack Chang'an so easily, and she had great merit, if it weren't for her being a daughter, her merits and influence would never be under the King of Qin and the crown prince.

It's just that no matter how powerful Pingyang is, she is also a daughter, and under this patriarchal regime that has lasted for thousands of years, at the beginning of the founding of the country, she helped her father make contributions.

Now that the Central Plains has been decided, she has already put down her sword, returned to Manan Mountain, and returned to the dynasty to recuperate for a few years.

At this time, she was asked to put on armor and go to the battlefield again, and the first thought that came to the minds of many courtiers was: it is not appropriate.

Tang Gaozu did not have the extreme ideas of the courtiers, and Princess Pingyang was his proudest daughter.

Xu is wife is talented and strategic, and can help him with advice in many major matters, so that he can benefit him immensely, and he is not as repulsive as ordinary people are talented and capable women.

Not only does he not exclude, but he also appreciates it, and his daughter, who is different and dazzling like the sun and the moon, has always been his pride.

Now that she suddenly heard Xiao Yu's proposal to let her go on the expedition with the prince, Gao Zu's heart suddenly moved, if Pingyang helped, the prince's chances of winning against Liu Heimin this time were thirty percent more.

In Gaozu's heart, he still very much hopes that the prince can win Liu Heimin in one fell swoop, the merits of King Qin are too high, if the prince does not build some merits, the balance of the court will be broken.

It's just that her daughter has only been recuperating for more than two years since she returned to the dynasty, and her second son was only about half a year old, so it seems a little inappropriate to let her wear armor to the battlefield at this time.

Gao Zu was both moved and reluctant, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

"The minister seconded the proposal, this Liu Heimin is really a big trouble for my Li Tang, if it can't be eradicated in one fell swoop, this person will definitely bring endless disasters to my Datang in the future, with Princess Pingyang with me, this battle will be more certain." Pei Lin glanced at Gao Zu, and was the first to stand up and echo Xiao Yu.

When the crown prince Li Jiancheng first heard this proposal, he was quite disgusted in his heart, he didn't think that King Qin could beat Liu Heimin to the ground, and he couldn't do it himself, not to mention that Liu Heimin's strength was far inferior to before since the defeat in March.

However, he immediately thought that Princess Pingyang had always been close to the second brother, and although she was respectful to him as the eldest brother, her feelings were much worse than that of the second brother, and if she could fight with her this time, she would definitely be able to enhance the relationship between the brothers and sisters.

The most important thing is that Li Jiancheng knows that his sister is powerful, and if she helps, he will have a much greater grasp of this battle, and it is very likely that he will capture Liu Heimin alive in one fell swoop.

If Liu Heimin can be captured back, the credit is much greater than that of King Qin who only defeated him in Luoshui last time, and his thoughts turned around, and he stood up: "Father, the son also hopes that the imperial sister can walk with the ministers, with the ability of the imperial sister, her talent should not be buried like this." ”

Chai Shao had already gone out with King Qin at this time, and his father Chai Shen was old, with only a false title on his body, and he had completed his actual duties, and he usually did not go to court.

For this reason, the news was not known until the oracle was sent to the princess's mansion, and Princess Binh Duong did not know.

When she received the oracle, Princess Pingyang was stunned for a while, but she soon happily accepted the order, she followed her master to the north and south since she was a child, and her heart was very different from that of ordinary daughters.

Although the princess's mansion in Chang'an is comfortable and comfortable, she is actually very depressed in her heart when she stays at home like this.

Now that she was able to go to the battlefield again, the blood in her heart was ignited almost immediately.

The eldest grandson and princess soon knew about Princess Pingyang's upcoming expedition, so she went to the princess's mansion for this purpose.

As soon as she saw Princess Pingyang, the eldest grandson princess spoke: "Sister, I heard that you are going to go on an expedition in armor again?" ”

"Well, my father ordered me to go to Niangzi Pass to garrison, and I have been in Chang'an for more than two years, to be honest, I feel that the bones on my body are about to rust, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to go out again, you don't have to worry about me." Princess Pingyang said with a smile.

"I'm not worried, my sister was born different from ordinary boudoir women, and the inner house is indeed not where my sister should stay all the time, I came here to ask, is there anything my sister needs my help with?" The eldest grandson, the princess, said.

"Well, I really have something to trouble you, Chai Shao is not in Beijing now, and my father-in-law is not very in charge, my expedition, the two children can only be sent to the palace, Zhewei is almost eight years old, but I don't have to worry about it."

"But Lingwei is still young, although there are Wan Guifei to take care of it, my heart still can't be completely put down, I hope that when you are free, you will often enter the palace to help me see him." Princess Pingyang said.

Originally, she wanted to put Chai Lingwei to the eldest grandson princess and let her help take care of it for a while, but as soon as the palace pointed out, Gaozu called her into the palace and told her to put the two children in the palace and be taken care of by Wan Guifei, so she didn't want to say anything.

Concubine Wangong leads the harem in modern times, and has a very good relationship with Li Shimin and Princess Heping, and there are no young children around to take care of, and Pingyang's two children are placed here with her, so there is no need to worry.

But the harem is complicated, and the young concubines that Gaozu loves now are not very stopping, Chai Lingwei is too young, and she is really a little relieved.

"Sister, don't worry, I will often enter the palace to see Ling Wei and Zhewei, and I will write you a letter every ten days." The eldest grandson, the princess, said.

"Thank you very much." Princess Pingyang said with a smile.

"My sister is serious, with our friendship, how can we use a word of thanks." Princess Eldest Sun smiled.
