Chapter VIII The Old and New Xijing Coup (1)
No matter how many dynasties it has crossed, the wind on Tongguan is always so hard. Quan Bo and Mu Yi stood in the wind and let the wind and sand rage.
After a while, Mu Yi probably couldn't stand it anymore. He approached carefully and said, "Your Majesty, the wind and sand here are too strong, why don't we go back to the pass, right?"
Quan Bo did not move his shoulders, but turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Mu Yi, what do you mean by Meng Yan?"
"Your Majesty, no matter what he means, it is an opportunity for the Prince of Xuan to come in person. I heard that Prince of Xuan Meng Jingyan is not as meticulous as Meng Yan. Why not take this opportunity to hold him in our hands." Mu Yi was excited
Said.
Quan Bo's mouth slightly raised. He knew that Mu Yi had always been emotional about Meng Yan, but it would be too much to detain the prince of others. At least they were allies, and Xuan Guo did not have any malice.
"You! Take that kind of person. The Meng family has long been the same. He dominated the southwest of the Central Plains and has a million armors. I just think Meng Yan is too active this time? Could it be that he has no thoughts about Luo Chen at all.
?”
"Impossible! Fighting for Luo Chen in the world is a symbol. Taking Luo Chen can at least be justified in inheriting the orthodox." Mu Yi said carelessly.
Quan Bo looked at Mu Yi with a strange look, and Mu Yi was furious. Suddenly Quan Bo said, "You are right. Luo Chen is a piece of fat, but it also carries poison. Not everyone can swallow it.
If you go down, with Meng Yan's personality, he would not want to be the target of the world's siege, but we are different. Quan's name is still the orthodox of the Central Plains."
Mu Yi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, I am not very clear."
Quan Bo figured it out, his mood was relieved, and he said with a smile: "No matter it is Xiao, Meng, or even Zhong, he dare not easily put Luo Chen's belonging in his pocket. This is a matter of status, Qiannian
Luo Chen has always been the capital of Quan's family. Only the Quan family's children will not lose their status in Luo Chen. This is why Zhong Rouxuan is the actual controller of Luo Chen, but she also has to support a puppet."
Mu Yi looked like he suddenly realized, but his eyes flashed by a killing aura. Quan Bo was wandering in the excitement of his understanding, and naturally he didn't think about Mu Yi's expression.
Quan Bo looked at the scenery outside Tongguan again and said a little disgusted: "Let's go, this damn wind is so tormenting!"
Meng Jingyan was ordered to help Quan Bo attack Luo Chen. It has been three days since he arrived. Quan Bo has been avoiding him on the front line as an excuse, but only let Li Zhengqian accompany him. Meng Jingyan is not in a hurry, just drink every day.
Tea and looking at the scenery made Li Zhengqian feel embarrassed. After all, he was the prince of the Allied Kingdom and was always unqualified.
However, Li Zhengqian really admires the prince of Xuan. His mentality is not ordinary, and people's emotions are difficult to hide. Li Zhengqian observed him for three days. Meng Jingyan did not show any displeasure in these three days, and he rarely showed any displeasure.
He contacted the Xuan State troops stationed outside the pass, and even if there was any contact, he would notify Li Zhengqian to send someone to summon the generals outside the pass with his eunuch, without any lack of etiquette.
If it were the Yang family, the eunuch beside Meng Jingyan, it would be Gu Xifeng. Only Mu Yi recognized him in the entire Xijing army in Tongguan. However, Mu Yi's hidden identity made him think he didn't know him.
It was another day of fun. Meng Jingyan took people back to his courtyard. This was arranged by Li Zhengqian. The defense outside the courtyard was all Lingjun, but the courtyard was full of Xuanguo people, which was the etiquette.
After closing the gate of the courtyard, Meng Jingyan took off his armor and said to Gu Xifeng, who was dressed in an eunuch, "Uncle, why are Quan Bo hesitating? Today is the third day." His tone was obviously a little anxious.
Gu Xifeng also frowned and said with a struggle: "Prince, Quan Bo is probably hesitating about our purpose. He dares not and is willing to believe that we are helping him. If there is no movement in another three days, I will fight.
My life will escort you out!"
Meng Jingyan shook his head, stood up and pressed his shoulders for Gu Xifeng, and said casually like an ordinary farmer's junior: "Uncle, don't be nervous, you won't get to this point. Outside the pass are General Zhou Ce, Uncle Eleven
Coach Qing is also in the army, so Quan Bo will not take risks.”
Gu Xifeng closed his eyes and enjoyed Meng Jingyan's filial piety. He was not used to it, but he could not stand Meng Jingyan's persistence. Over time, he adapted. He recalled in his mind that Meng Jingyan ran to him when he was still young.
The mansion looks like avoiding disaster, so time is so unforgiving that my hair is all white.
Gu Xifeng suddenly held Meng Jingyan's hand and said, "Boy, you are the hope of our future. You can't have any trouble or risk. Do you know why Your Majesty chose me to accompany you?"
"Please give me advice, uncle." Meng Jingyan turned around and said respectfully.
"Our famous generals emerged. I am just a general on the battlefield. I am not suitable to participate in such a thing, but Your Majesty knows my personality very well, so he asked me to come and accompany you. I am afraid that something unexpected happens. Do you understand
?” Gu Xifeng has long understood the limit of his ability over the years, and he has long since lost his mind to compete with Chen Zhiqing and others.
"Thank you for your love, uncle. Don't worry, I won't do stupid things. Since we have to wait, let's wait. Quan Bo is also a overlord and will not do such despicable things." Although Meng Jingyan was grateful, he was grateful.
Gu Xifeng's love, but he still insisted on his own opinion. He believed that Quan Bo would definitely understand and meet him.
After Quan Bo returned to the camp, he immediately summoned Li Zhengqian and asked him about Meng Jingyan's thoughts and attitude.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xuan has been very peaceful these days and rarely interacts with Xuan troops outside the pass. He will inform the old ministers every day that he is avoiding suspicion and hopes to gain His Majesty's trust."
"I remember he is not old, he is about the same age as Qing'er?" Quan Bo asked with his thoughts jumping.
Fortunately, Li Zhengqian was familiar with Quan Bo's temperament and quickly replied: "The princess is two years older than Prince Xuan. If it is said that marriage is appropriate."
Quan Bo raised his eyebrows, and Li Zhengqian still praised his intentions, and he could immediately understand his thoughts.
"Secretary Li, what if I get engaged with Meng Yan?"
"Your Majesty! No! No!" Li Zhengqian guessed Quan Bo's meaning and quickly stopped him.
Quan Bo is in middle age without a child. He himself does not like women. He only has only one daughter. The ministers in the court wrote a letter to ask for a selection of girls. Some people think that one can be adopted from the Quan family's side branch, but they all
He was rejected by Quan Bo, and it turned out that Quan Bo had such a thought, such a terrible thought.
Quan Bo smiled and said, "Li Xiang doesn't have to be nervous. I just said casually. If Qing'er gets married, I'm really reluctant to let it go."
Huadou said it, it would definitely not be a whim. Li Zhengqian immediately knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, the old minister has made great rebellious words, and he must speak up today."
"Li Xiang!" Quan Bo seemed to know what he was going to say and wanted to stop him.
But Li Zhengqian seemed determined to say it, and kowtowed heavily on the ground, begging: "Your Majesty! The Empress of Zhaoyang is just a good story in history books, and marriage is just a means. Your Majesty is in his prime, so you must not
Have the intention to retreat!”
Quan Bo's face immediately became gloomy, and the cold inside the tent could freeze. After a cup of tea, Quan Bo slowly said from his mouth: "Li Xiang, I know your intentions, Qing'er doesn't have that mind,
Marriage will not be treasonable!”
Li Zhengqian had to insist on saying something, but Quan Bo did not give him a chance and left directly and transferred to the back account.
Li Zhengqian slowly stood up, as if he had grown a lot aged suddenly, and walked out of the central army tent in a daze and returned to his tent until the lights were in his hands.
It was not until the old servant came in to send the meal to light the lamp that Li Zhengqian came to his senses. Seeing that it was the old servant Li Zhengqian licking his lips, he said in a hoarse voice: "Li Hua, stop busy and let Li Qiu come over."
The old servant just looked slightly moved, and hurried out without saying anything about the food. Li Zhengqian did not move the food on the table and was still sitting on the chair.
After a while, a strong young man respectfully saluted Li Zhengqian and said, "Master, please give me instructions!"
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 and told your young master that he won. Then you immediately rushed to Guazhou to inform Li Jing and let him follow the rules.
The second one is to discuss and do it, and then you don’t come back.”
Li Qiu had no doubts or hesitation, and turned around and left the tent. He just nodded slightly at his father Li Hua and rode westward, and soon disappeared into the night.
Li Zhengqian had long noticed Quan Qing's ambition, but his only son Li Gong seemed to be more inclined to Quan Qing. The father and son had a big fight. At that time, he firmly believed that Quan Bo would not indulge Quan Qing in control of power, but
In today's conversation with Quan Bo, he felt what Quan Bo meant. He couldn't understand why Quan Bo had such thoughts. Doesn't he want Quan's glory anymore? He couldn't understand even if he thought about it, but there was
He was very sure of one thing. No one in the entire Li family wanted to submit to Daxuan, and Daxuan's attack on the aristocratic family has always been fatal.
In the end, Li Zhengqian decided to agree to his son's decision. The Empress Zhaoyang was really the "model" of women all over the world. The three sisters of Zhong and Quan Qing from Xijing were fascinated by her. For nothing, the Empress would have a better life without a good life.
However, Zhong Rouxuan outside Lingbao City could not control the thoughts of these people. She was very helpless now. She saw the possibility of betrayal in the eyes of Xu Shaoting and Feng You. As long as she failed this time, Luo Chen's coup would be another Luo Chen coup.
Not impossible.
She couldn't understand why Da Xi Qianbi betrayed so much. Before the Nanyang incident could be recalled, Quan Bo from Xijing could not sit still and attacked Lingbao. Their target was Luo Chen.
Just when Zhong Rouxuan was frustrated, the maid came in timidly and said, "Empress Dowager, come forward to report to the enemy generals Li Qingque and Geng Chao to attack us in two groups."
The house is leaking and raining all night, and the blessings are unparalleled. It is to describe Zhong Rouxuan now. The only thing she feels relieved is that Daxuan did not move any action after the Nanyang incident.
"Order the left and right wings to repel them to me, regardless of whether they are killed or injured, or invite General Feng You to come!" Zhong Rouxuan's voice was a little sharp, just one step away from hysteria.
Feng You came over swayingly. He didn't want to see Zhong Rouxuan, but there was no way. He was still in command of the army here.
Hesitantly finally entered the tent and immediately bowed: "My dear Feng You has met the Empress Dowager!"
"General, Li Qingque and Geng Chao are coming to harass each other again. Can the general have a countermeasure to recover Lingbao and drive them back to the pass?" Zhong Rouxuan could see Feng You's perfunctory attitude, but at this time he had to suppress him.
A harmonious personality and a harmonious question.
"Report to the Queen, our army now has the ability to resist and defend. If we want to repel them, we may have to increase our troops." Feng You was obviously threatening Zhong Rouxuan.
"Haha, it's okay, Zhao He is coming soon."
