Chapter 189: The Old and New Xijing Coup (1)
No matter how many dynasties have been crossed, the wind on Tongguan is always so hard, Quan Bo and Mu Yi stand in the wind and let the wind and sand rage.
After a while, Mu Yi estimated that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he cautiously approached and said, "Your Majesty, the wind and sand here are too big, why don't we go back to Guanli?" ”
Quan Bo's shoulders didn't move, he just turned his head and said, "Mu Yi, what do you mean by Meng Yan?" ”
"Your Majesty, no matter what he means, the presence of the Prince of Xuanguo is an opportunity, and the minister heard that the Prince of Xuanguo Meng Jingyan is meticulous and not weaker than Meng Yan, so it is better to take this opportunity to detain him in our hands." Mu Yi said excitedly.
The corners of Quan Bo's mouth raised slightly, he knew that Mu Yi had always had emotions for Meng Yan, but it would be too much to detain the crown prince of other people, at least they were allies, and Xuanguo had no malicious intentions.
"You! Accept that character, Montessori is not what it was back then, dominating the southwest of the Central Plains, with a million armor, I just think that Meng Yan is not too active this time, does he not have any thoughts about Luo Chen? ”
"Impossible! Fighting for the world Luo Chen is a symbol, and winning Luo Chen can at least justifiably inherit the orthodoxy. Mu Yi said with a grin.
Quan Bo looked at Mu Yi with a strange look, Mu Yi was furious, and suddenly Quan Bo said: "You are right, Luo Chen is a piece of fat, but it is also poisonous, not everyone can swallow it, with Meng Yan's personality, he will not want to become the object of the world's crusade, but we are different, the Quan family is still the orthodoxy of the Central Plains in name." ”
Mu Yi asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, forgive the minister for being stupid, the minister doesn't quite understand." ”
Quan Bo figured it out, his mood was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Whether it is the Xiao family, the Mengshi or even the Zhong family, they dare not easily put Luo Chen's belonging in their pockets, this is a matter of status, Luo Chen has been the capital of the Quan family for thousands of years, and only the children of the Quan family will not lose their reputation in Luochen, which is why Zhong Rouxuan is the actual controller of Luo Chen, but she also has to support a puppet." ”
Mu Yi looked suddenly enlightened, but his eyes flashed with a real killing breath, and Quan Bo was wandering in the excitement of thinking about it, so he naturally didn't think about Mu Yi's expression.
Quan Bo looked at the scenery outside Tongguan again, and said with some disgust: "Let's go, this damn wind is too torturous!" ”
Meng Jingyan was ordered to come to help Quan Bo attack Luochen, and he has been here for three days, Quan Bo has been avoiding it under the pretext of being on the front line, just letting Li Zhengqian accompany him, Meng Jingyan is not in a hurry, he just drinks tea and looks at the scenery every day, but it makes Li Zhengqian a little embarrassed, after all, he is the prince of an ally, and it is always rude to hang it all the time.
However, Li Zhengqian does admire this Prince of Xuanguo, his mentality is not generally good, and people's emotions are difficult to hide, Li Zhengqian observed him for three days, Meng Jingyan did not show a trace of displeasure in these three days, and he rarely contacted the Xuanguo soldiers and horses stationed outside the Guan, even if there was contact, he also notified Li Zhengqian to let him send someone to summon the generals outside the Guan, and there was no shortage of courtesy.
If the people of the Yang family would definitely be able to recognize that Meng Jingyan's inner servant was Gu Xifeng, and only Mu Yi recognized the Xijing soldiers and horses in the entire Tongguan, but Mu Yi's hidden identity made him directly treat him as if he didn't know him.
Another day of playing, Meng Jingyan took people back to his small courtyard, which was arranged by Li Zhengqian, the defense outside the courtyard is the Ling Army, but the courtyard is full of people from Xuanguo, this is the proper etiquette.
After closing the courtyard gate, Meng Jingyan took off his armor and said to Gu Xifeng, who was dressed as an inner servant: "Uncle, what did you say Quan Bo was hesitating about, today is the third day. There was a clear anxiety in his tone.
Gu Xifeng also frowned, and said with a struggling expression: "Prince, Quan Bo is probably hesitating about our purpose, he doesn't dare and doesn't want to believe that we are helping him, if there is no movement in another three days, I will do my best to escort you out!" ”
Meng Jingyan shook his head, got up and pressed Gu Xifeng's shoulder, just like the juniors of an ordinary peasant family, and said very casually: "Uncle, don't be nervous, you won't come to this point, General Zhou Ce is outside the gate, Uncle Eleventh and Qingshuai are also in the army, Quan Bo will not take risks." ”
Gu Xifeng closed his eyes and enjoyed Meng Jingyan's filial piety, originally he was not used to it, but where could he endure Meng Jingyan's persistence, and over time he got used to it, and recalled in his mind that Meng Jingyan ran to his mansion to avoid trouble when he was a child, it was really unforgiving, and his hair was white.
Gu Xifeng suddenly pressed Meng Jingyan's hand and said: "Boy, you are the hope for the future of all of us, you can't have an accident, and you can't get into danger, do you know why Your Majesty chose me to accompany you?" ”
"Uncle, please." Meng Jingyan turned around and said respectfully.
"I have produced many famous generals, I am just a general who kills on the battlefield, and I am not suitable to participate in such a thing, but Your Majesty knows my undying personality, so I asked me to come over to accompany you, just for fear of accidents, do you understand?" Gu Xifeng has long understood the limit of his ability over the years, and he has long since given up the idea of competing with Chen Zhiqing and others.
"Thank you uncle for your kindness, don't worry, I won't do stupid things, since you want us to wait, let's wait, Quan Bo is also a hegemon, and he won't do anything like that." Although Meng Jingyan was grateful to Gu Xifeng for his love, he still insisted on his opinion, and he believed that Quan Bo would definitely figure it out to meet him.
After returning to the camp, Quan Bo immediately summoned Li Zhengqian and asked him about Meng Jingyan's thoughts and attitudes.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xuan has been very peaceful these days, rarely interacting with the Xuan army outside the gate, and every day he will let people inform the old ministers to accompany him, he is avoiding suspicion, hoping to gain His Majesty's trust."
"I remember that he is not very old, about the same age as Qing'er?" Kwon Bo asked with a leap of thought.
Fortunately, Li Zhengqian was familiar with Quan Bo's temperament, and quickly replied: "The princess is two years older than Prince Xuan, so it would be appropriate to say that she would be married." ”
Quan Bo raised his eyebrows, but Li Zheng was humble about his intentions, and he could immediately understand his thoughts.
"Li Xiang, what if I and Meng Yan are married?"
"Your Majesty! Cannot! Never! Li Zhengqian guessed what Quan Bo meant, and hurriedly stopped.
Quan Bo is middle-aged and childless, and he himself doesn't like women, there is only one only daughter under his knees, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have written to ask for a wide draft of women, and some people think that they can inherit one from the side branch of the Quan family, but they are all rejected by Quan Bo, it turns out that Quan Bo actually has such a mind, such a terrible mind.
Quan Bo smiled: "Li Xiang doesn't need to be nervous, I just said casually, if Qing'er marries, I am really reluctant." ”
Hua Dou said it, it would definitely not be a whim, Li Zhengqian immediately knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a big rebellious words, and he must vomit it today." ”
"Awesome!" Kwon Bo seems to know what he's going to say and wants to stop it.
But Li Zhengqian seemed to be determined to speak, and directly kowtowed to the ground and begged: "Your Majesty! Empress Zhaoyang is just a good story in the history books, and marriage is just a means, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and you must not have the intention of retreating! ”
Quan Bo's face immediately became gloomy, and in an instant, the cold in the tent could freeze, and after touching a cup of tea, Quan Bo slowly spit out words from his mouth: "Li Xiang, I know your intentions, Qing'er doesn't have that mind, and marriage will not betray the country!" ”
Li Zhengqian insisted on saying something, but Quan Bo didn't give him a chance, and walked away directly and transferred to the back account.
Li Zhengqian got up slowly, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden, and walked out of the Chinese army's tent and returned to his tent in a daze until the time of the lamp.
It wasn't until the old servant came in to deliver food and light the lamp that Li Zhengqian came back to his senses, and saw that it was the old servant Li Zhengqian who licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Hua, don't be busy, let Li Qiu come over." ”
The old servant just looked slightly moved, and hurried out without saying anything, Li Zhengqian didn't move the food on the table, and still sat on the chair.
After a while, a sturdy young man respectfully saluted Li Zhengqian and said, "Family master, please command!" ”
Li Zhengqian was called back to his senses by the young man's words, rubbed his face and said: "Li Qiu, you rushed back to Xijing overnight, told your young master, and said that he won, and then you immediately rushed to Guazhou to inform Li Jing and asked him to do what was agreed in the second one, and then you don't want to come back." ”
Li Qiu didn't have any doubts, didn't hesitate, turned around and went out of the tent directly, just bowed slightly at his father Li Hua and got on his horse and galloped westward, and soon disappeared into the night.
Li Zhengqian has long been aware of Quan Qing's ambitions, but his only son Li Bow seems to be more inclined to Quan Qing, so the two fathers and sons also had a big quarrel, at that time he firmly believed that Quan Bo would not indulge Quan Qing to control power, but in today's conversation with Quan Bo, he felt what Quan Bo meant, he couldn't understand why Quan Bo had such a mind, didn't he want Quan's glory? I can't figure it out even if I think about it, but he is very sure of one thing, no one in the entire Li clan wants to belong to Daxuan, and Daxuan's blow to the family has always been fatal.
In the end, Li Zhengqian decided to agree with his son's decision, Empress Zhaoyang is really a "role model" for women in the world, the three sisters of the Zhong family and Quan Qing of Xijing are all fascinated by her, it's just that the empress is always better than not having a good life.
However, Zhong Rouxuan outside Lingbao City can't control the minds of these people, she is very helpless now, from the eyes of Xu Shaoting and Feng You, she sees the possibility of betrayal, as long as she fails this time, it is not impossible to have another Luo Chen coup.
She couldn't understand why Da Xi Qianbi would refuse to betray him so much, before Nanyang's affairs came back, Quan Bo of Xijing couldn't sit still, and attacked Lingbao, and their target was Luo Chen.
Just when Zhong Rouxuan was bored, the maid came in timidly and said, "Queen Mother, come forward to report to the enemy and divide Li Qingque and Geng Chao to kill us in two ways." ”
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the blessing and misfortune were not a single line to describe Zhong Rouxuan now, and the only thing she was pleased with was that Daxuan did not take any action after the Nanyang incident.
"Order the left and right flanks to repel them to the main palace, whether they are dead or wounded, and go and invite General Feng You to come over!" Zhong Rouxuan's voice was a little sharp, and she was one step away from hysteria.
Feng Youhuang came over slowly, he didn't want to see Zhong Rouxuan, but there was no way, he was still in command of the army here.
After all, he entered the big tent, and immediately bowed: "Chen Feng You has seen the Queen Mother!"
"General, Li Qingque and Geng Chao have come to harass again, can the general have a countermeasure to recover Lingbao and drive them back to Guannei?" Zhong Rouxuan could see Feng You's perfunctory attitude, but at this time, she also had to suppress her temperament and ask each other in a harmonious voice.
"Yu Niangniang, our army only has the ability to resist and defend now, and if you want to repel them, you may have to increase your troops." Feng Youming was threatening Zhong Rouxuan.
"Hehe, it's okay, Zhao He is almost here."
