Chapter 30: The Power of Peace
Snow, in the wind, is not shivering, but dancing, the best dance, decorating the earth layer by layer, and covering every corner of the earth.
Snow in Prince Hong's heart, like a knife, cut through the barrier of the skin, straight to the heart, he felt cold, at this moment, especially cold, he even heard the sound of blood.
The blood that passes through the atrium, in the snow, will surge, and he is waiting, his moment: life, and death, the trial, the one who tests him, and the one who tests him, and, his heart!
"Perhaps, only Taiping can please my father, but unfortunately, I am not Taiping, she is their darling!" Prince Hong's face showed envy and jealousy!
"Then, it's better for us to let Princess Taiping stand on our side, I believe that with the support of Princess Taiping, the queen mother will not dare to embarrass the prince too much!" Qin Huaiyu unconsciously spit out the word "queen" in his mouth.
He knew that she was the root of all the troubles, and since Gaozong Li Zhi welcomed her back from Qingyun Nunnery outside the threshold, the Tang Dynasty had been aggressive:
Wu Meiniang's daughter died, and the queen was deposed;
Wu Meiniang became the queen, and the martial family gradually gained a status in the court;
Wu Meiniang was in power and ruled the world with Gaozong Li Zhi;
......
Now, Gaozong Li Zhi is not as good as a day, his body is as early as the fallen leaves of the autumn wind, and he can fall at any time, and Wu Meiniang has gradually controlled the government, and everything can only be carried out smoothly if she nods.
Some chapters, even if Gaozong approved it, Wu Meiniang said a word, and the whole thing was put on hold;
At this time, watching the snow fall on the ground, Qin Huaiyu felt the cold, and he couldn't stay out of it;
Perhaps, Gaozong is the best state when he is alive, then, all troubles will not exist, but if Gaozong is gone, what should the world do?
A stone had already weighed heavily on Qin Huaiyu's heart, and he seemed to have seen Qin Shubao who was in distress in Luzhou back then; it was a pity that Qin Baobao had Shan Xiongxin to save his life at that time;
"Can you not let the Taiping roll in?" Xiao Han said unconsciously.
At this time, Xiao Han's words were more like a huge stone, smashing the hearts of the two of them; they suddenly felt heavy, could it be that the Tang Dynasty should be borne by Taiping, who was only fifteen years old?
However, the reality is the cruelest after all, alas, without Princess Taiping, who can stop this piece of heaven?
"I'm afraid, none of us will stay out of the way, Brother Xiaohan, I think, Princess Taiping is willing to go through the current crisis with us!" Qin Huaiyu said resolutely.
"Then, what should I do?" said Wang Zihong with a panicked expression.
"Maintain an excellent brother-sister relationship with Princess Taiping, often go to her mansion, of course, it's best to go with our Xiaohan brothers, haha, with Xiaohan brothers, I believe that Princess Taiping's guild will be happy to go crazy!" Obviously, Qin Huaiyu has seen that Princess Taiping likes Xiaohan!
It's a pity that they all guessed wrong: they are just brother and sister, forever, there is only this relationship, this is their fate!
Xiao Han sighed unconsciously, and after a while, he said: "This winter is really long, today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather is still so cold, the snow, still so tight, I like the snow outside the cold, quiet and fresh;
Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh, this was the voice he was flowing in his heart, he felt more and more that Chang'an was a devil's land, and the snow in Chang'an was like a conjuring messenger, which made people tremble!
"Alas, this is Chang'an, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, in the winter of eighteen years ago, it was like this, so cold, at that time, my best friend, Prince Chengqian, disappeared in the wind and snow!" Qin Huaiyu's eyes were moist, and the corners of his eyes glanced at Xiao Han beside him!
Xiao Han's eyes were also wet, and he couldn't help but have tears rolling in his eyes, he didn't want to wipe it, at this time, he wanted it to flow down wantonly, but the tears were like snowflakes, rolling twice, and then stopped;
"Brother Xiaohan, my intuition tells me that you must have something to do with Prince Chengqian, I don't know, are you ......" Qin Huaiyu suddenly couldn't go on.
If he is, then how should he deal with himself? Should he support Xiaohan? or, in front of him, the prince?
"Brother Qin doesn't have to guess, I have nothing to do with anyone, I'm just not angry that Gaozong indiscriminately destroyed our Sanhe Town, more than 800 lives, overnight, it was wiped out, who did they recruit and who did they provoke?" Xiao Han's eyes finally turned red.
"Perhaps, the emperor has a hard time, I heard that it is related to the remnants of Prince Chengqian, but it's a pity, it's a pity, no one knows the truth!" At this time, Qin Huaiyu's eyes were fixed on Xiao Han's body.
"The truth, what is the truth? Does Brother Qin ever know? I don't know, I know that we are all people who are used to being plain, my master likes to strike iron, he is the best blacksmith, he forged black snow for me, I like to pull the bellows, like, the sound of snow falling on the roof, that's all!" Xiao Han's face finally calmed down.
"Marshal, what are you talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?" said the prince.
"Ah, it's nothing, we're just talking about some things at the border, it's just that Brother Xiaohan is a witness to that tragic tragedy, he witnessed our ** team slaughtering all the residents of Sanhe Town!" Qin Huaiyu's face was unspeakably sad, as if he had already been there.
"Ah, when did it happen? How did I not know?" said Prince Hong.
"The seventh day of the lunar month a year ago!" Xiao Han said calmly.
He will always remember that day, the fire in Sanhe Town burned the sky red, burned the earth, and even the river was red!
"I heard that the emperor only followed the advice of the queen's mother at that time, saying that he wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then went to slaughter the town;
"What's wrong?" At this time, Princess Taiping's voice was already ringing in their ears.
"Ah, ah, I mean the matter of Sanhe Town, at the beginning, perhaps, the emperor and queen were wrong!" Qin Huaiyu actually told the truth.
"I already know a little about the affairs of Sanhe Town, and I heard that it is a pity that it is related to Brother Han, but since Brother Han has talked to his father and queen mother, there should be nothing wrong, right?" Princess Taiping said.
"How can things be so simple, princess, you are too naïve, I heard that the emperor and queen mother are going to arrange for the little brother and the martial arts master to make moves, and the last one is a duel with the sword saint, do you think, why is this?" Qin Huaiyu's eyes began to flicker.
"Ah, could it be that the last battle is really fought to the death? Sword Saint and Brother Han, only one is alive?" Taiping's eyes were a little frightened.
"Imperial sister, that's for sure, I heard that the Sword Saint has accepted the invitation of his father, and he will come to Chang'an soon, the purpose is to fight for the master's last battle, and it will definitely be a life-and-death duel!" said the crown prince.
"What? Could it be that Wan'er lied to me?" Princess Taiping said, her confidence began to waver: the Sword Saint is Taishan Beidou of the Central Plains Martial Arts for sixty years, I heard that the swordsmanship has entered the realm of transformation, can Brother Han defeat him?
"Princess, the current situation is complicated, if we want to save your brother Han's life, we can only cooperate!" Qin Huaiyu said bluntly.
"Cooperation?why?what?what?what do you want to do?" Princess Taiping is not stupid, and sends out a series of cannons!
"It's nothing, princess, our purpose is just to let His Royal Highness the crown prince ascend the throne smoothly, I don't know what the princess wants?" Qin Huaiyu shook out his hole cards, he didn't want to give her time to think.
"Hmph, my father is still here, my mother is well, the prince, you want to ascend the throne, what do you want to do?" Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows and stared at the prince.
"Taiping, sister, brother is just taking precautions, you know, the situation is complicated now, if my sister doesn't support me anymore, then, I can't get my brother's desire to end well!" After speaking, Prince Hong's tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Hmph, Prince, what are you thinking? If Father has an accident, didn't you ascend the throne? Prince, I advise you to do it yourself, and it's better to do less!" Princess Taiping immediately understood their thoughts.
"Brother Xiaohan, what do you say? At this time, the situation is complicated, your attitude is very important, as long as you say a word, we can stabilize the situation!" Qin Huaiyu said.
"Haha, Marshal, you think too highly of me, but unfortunately, I don't have that much energy, I thought, let's listen to Sister Taiping, how about it?" Xiao Han persuaded.
"Master, the moment is already the key to life and death, you can't hesitate any longer, Taiping, help me, okay? I promise, I will treat the queen mother well!" said the prince.
"Brother Hong, what do you want to do? Father is still alive, you better not move; Marshal Qin, you are the commander of the army, the situation is in your hands, what are you afraid of?" Princess Taiping said unceremoniously.
"The army also has to obey the emperor's orders, princess, as long as you and Hong stand aside, the crown prince will succeed to the throne without hindrance, is it okay?" After speaking, Qin Huaiyu actually knelt down.
When Princess Taiping saw it, she didn't feel soft-hearted, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Marshal, please get up, let's discuss this matter, in short, everything is focused on the overall situation, no one can do it easily, I know what you want to do, but my father is still alive, you can't do anything, it's useless!"
She said in one sentence: The emperor's destiny is greater than the sky, no matter whether it is the prince or Qin Huaiyu, there is nothing she can do!
Sure enough, when they heard this, both the prince and Qin Huaiyu lowered their heads, and their hearts were secretly praised: she is really amazing, if she is a man, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be only in her control?
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, prince, marshal, let's still drink alcohol, no one wants to be troublesome; my brother Han's identity, I can tell you, he is the son of the prince of the previous dynasty; hmph, he is the supreme, if he wants to be the emperor, I will help him, hmph, I don't believe it, who can stop my brother Han, haha!" Princess Taiping unceremoniously spit out the truth.
Suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, it stunned the prince, and also shocked Qin Huaiyu: it turned out that he was the real prince!
