Great Tang princess

Chapter 340 Hijacking Plan
Under the various messengers sent by Li Jingye and the walks of some interested people, the call to action spread from Yangzhou to Dongdu in about half a month, and there is a tendency to continue to spread to other places.

In Zhengpingfang, in the courtyard of Princess Taiping's mansion in Zhenguo, Li Yuechen sat in the pavilion gnashing his teeth, wishing that both Li Jingye and Luo Binwang would be caught and beaten to death with a hammer.

Regardless of other things, if he dared to scold his mother like this, even Li Yuechen, who always thought he had a good temper, couldn't help but want to kill someone.

Fulai, who was standing by the side, couldn't help trembling. He took care of the princess and grew up. He has seen her heroic, her gentleness, and her heartbreak...

But this was the first time seeing her gnashing her teeth with a murderous look on her face, which made Fulai, who had taken care of her since she was a child, couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, being so angry every day is not good for your health, or..."

"Humph!" Li Yuechen snorted coldly, "My mother dares to insult me ​​casually, and I won't be able to get rid of my hatred if I don't beat him to death myself!"

Fulai nodded hastily: "What Your Highness said is that this person really deserves to die, but... His Highness is not worth it if he loses his body because of this?"

"I understand the truth."

Li Yuechen sighed, but couldn't help it.

For her, the family love in this life is a gift from God, so she will cherish every relative.

One's relatives are definitely not something that others can casually insult!If it wasn't for the fear of spoiling his mother's plan, Li Yuechen would have brought someone to kill him long ago without saying a word.

……

At the beginning of October, the proclamation had already spread throughout the Eastern Capital, followed by various rumors and gossips that were born out of it.

Although no one dares to say it publicly, in private, these things often become the talk of many people after dinner.

It was another day of going to court, and the ministers came to the outside of the hall early to wait for inspection and entry. At the same time, they almost all looked at Li Yuechen standing at the entrance of the hall.

I thought in my heart that it was as expected, and it was almost time for the princess to come.

Taking a closer look, the princess's face was obviously gloomy, and she must be in a bad mood.

However, it is also understandable that regardless of whether the royal family is in harmony with the mother and daughter, if the mother is scolded like this, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even if she kills someone, she can be punished lightly.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the special thinking of this era.

Although the law stipulates that no matter what the situation is, killing someone will be punished with death, but because officials in this era are deeply infected by Confucianism, if it is the actual punishment of a case of revenge for their parents, it is often very difficult. light.

Not to mention that this is not an ordinary person, but the home of the supreme emperor. Rather, the fact that the princess has not led anyone to rush there now shows that the relationship between mother and daughter must be very complicated now.

With Zhang Chengxin shouting to go up, the ministers walked into the hall one after another and knelt down in their seats.

Behind the bead curtain, Wu Zetian's face was expressionless, and his voice was ethereal in the echoes in the hall: "I think you all know about the rebellion. I heard that there is an article, and now everyone in the Eastern Capital is chanting it. I'm a little curious, I don't know everyone, who came to listen to it?"

There was silence in the hall, no one dared to speak.

After all, this proclamation made an extremely straightforward greeting to the Empress Dowager, if it was read out in the court hall, would it be worth her life?

"Pei Aiqing, why don't you tell me?" Wu Zetian actually started to roll the roll.

Under normal circumstances, even if you are called by name, you should answer something like "I dare not" or "I don't know", but unexpectedly, Pei Yan actually agreed, and began to chant in the hall: "Writing: Pseudo Linchao The Wu Clan..."

He actually just started to chant in front of the ministers in the court!
Countless ministers stared at him with wide eyes, is this crazy?Don't die?

Even Li Yuechen, who was at the front, turned his head slightly, thinking in his heart, where does Pei Yan have the courage to say this in the court hall, even my old lady dare not!
He just finished reciting the entire call to action in the hall, and returned to his seat after saluting.

The court hall was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle drop, and the ministers didn't dare to take a breath.

Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain smiled lightly: "I never thought that King Luo Bin would have such a talent. It is the Prime Minister's fault that such a talent is among the rebels!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued: "Speaking of which, it seems to be the Xiayuan Festival, and I plan to sacrifice at Longmen..."

Li Yuechen didn't continue to listen to what she said later. She came to court today just to know whether to beat Li Jingye or not.

……

After retiring from the imperial court, Li Yuechen returned to the princess mansion without saying a word, waiting for news from his mother, although she herself could not bear it anymore.

In the evening, after Shangguan Wan'er came back from get off work, she just walked into the gate when she saw Li Yuechen practicing in the yard with her Fang Tian painting halberd.

The heavy weapon was wielded vigorously by her, and all kinds of plants around were swaying gently.

Seeing her coming in, Li Yuechen turned around, put Fang Tian's painting halberd behind his back, and shook off the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead: "Wan'er is back."

"Your Highness never practices at night, are you still worried about rebelling against the bandits?" Shangguan Wan'er came over and asked while taking out a handkerchief to wipe off the thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"It's not sorrow, it's hatred!"

Li Yuechen smiled: "I can't help but want to beat him to death!"

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. If the Empress Dowager doesn't issue an order, she must have some thoughts that I don't know about." Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "But this matter will definitely fall on His Highness!"

"Hmm..." Li Yuechen nodded to express his understanding.

Why don't you know the truth?But there are some things, knowing it doesn’t mean you can do it...

Just like many smokers, can’t you see the obvious “smoking is harmful to your health” written on the cigarette pack?
From her appearance, she could tell that she hadn't completely let go. Shangguan Wan'er took her hand and went into the pavilion to sit down: "Your Highness needs to calm down now."

"It's simple, you can calm him down by killing him." Li Yuechen smiled, raised his hand to brush the wet hair from his forehead to the back of his head, and then shook his hand to fan himself.

Shangguan Wan'er chuckled lightly: "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen His Highness look so angry..."

"If you like it, why don't you show your anger in the future?" Li Yuechen asked back.

"No, no, no..." She hurriedly waved her hands, "Wan'er doesn't want His Highness to be angry all the time."

After her making such a fuss, Li Yuechen felt much more comfortable. Seeing that the weather was getting better, he planned to take a bath, dry his hair and eat dinner before going to bed.

Although the anger in my heart has not completely calmed down, after such distraction by Shangguan Wan'er, I feel a lot more comfortable.

……

After a few days, everyone basically got used to the life in the princess mansion.

The main reason is that no matter the layout or the arrangement of furniture here is too different from this era, so although Princess Xuancheng and others liked it at first, they were not used to it.

But after a while, if I don't have a bear hug at night, I really can't fall asleep.

Similarly, because they are not in the palace, there are not so many rules. The two sisters and sister-in-law often play cards or chess until midnight.

There is no shortage of tea or wine in the Princess Mansion, and even ice cubes can be made on the spot, which can be said to be as high as you want.

At noon, Li Yuechen, who had finished practicing, was walking in the yard while wiping the sweat off his neck with a towel, and happened to run into Shangguan Wan'er, who was resting today, who was sitting in the pavilion on the pond, playing chess with Princess Yiyang Woolen cloth.

Princess Xuancheng was fishing with a fishing rod made of bamboo. There were two ponds in the Princess Mansion, both of which were connected to Luoshui.

But one of them has no fish, it is specially used as a swimming pool, and the one here has a lot of fish, so it is convenient to catch two to eat when you get greedy.

"Chen'er, come quickly, I caught two fish today!" Princess Xuancheng waved her hands with an excited look on her face, "How about making some carp soup for lunch?"

"As long as sister likes it." Li Yuechen smiled.

To be honest, the taste of carp is just that, not as good as grass carp and the like.

But there is no way, in the Tang Dynasty, carp had some kind of BUFF bonus, maybe it would taste better under this psychological effect?
Just about to take a bath and change clothes, Fulai suddenly walked in quickly from the door, and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, the guard general Linghu Zhitong is asking to see you."

"Linghu Zhitong?" Li Yuechen was a little puzzled, why did he come to see him.

This name was mentioned by Master, as if he wanted to join his army, so he brought a gift to see Master, and wanted him to lead the way.

But I haven't heard of it since last time. Is it because of this that I came to see myself today?

Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Fulai continue: "He said, I have something important to see!"

All right, I'm idle anyway, so let's meet...

Li Yuechen nodded, and asked Fulai to take him to the main hall to wait, while he went to change his clothes first.

Fortunately, he had rested for a while and stopped sweating. He went back and wiped his body with a wet towel, tied his hair again, changed into clean clothes, and Li Yuechen arrived at the main hall.

Now Linghu Zhitong is just in his early thirties, he is in the prime of his life, and he doesn't have much beard, just a very simple goatee.

After all, he is a pure military officer. Even in casual clothes, he can feel that this person is relatively strong, and he also belongs to the kind with big arms and round waist.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "I've seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Excuse me! Sit down!" Li Yuechen waved his hand down, seeing that there was already tea in front of him, so he stopped greeting him and went to sit in front of him.

Linghu Zhitong didn't sit down until she sat down.

"I wonder if General Linghu came to see me today, do you have something to discuss?" Li Yuechen asked casually.

Linghu Zhitong didn't speak, just scanned the surroundings with his eyes.

"Don't worry, there is no third person here." Li Yuechen smiled, "Just speak up if you have something to say."

"Yes!" Linghu Zhitong agreed, "Xiaguan came today to send a message to the princess. Yesterday, Pei Zhongshu came to look for Xiaguan and wanted to borrow someone."

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Borrower?"

"Yes!" Linghu Zhitong nodded, "He wants to take advantage of the time when the Empress Dowager goes out to pay respects to ancestors on the Lantern Festival, and suddenly kidnaps Empress Dowager and forces Empress Dowager to return power to Her Majesty!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen was suddenly taken aback.

At first I thought it was just here to get close, but I didn't expect to find such a big melon.

Pei Yan actually wanted to hijack his mother and force her to return to power?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible, after all, I ran to find myself that day.

Besides, Linghu Zhitong, a prison guard general, would not have the guts to falsely accuse Zhong Shuling unless he didn't want to die.

But she didn't say anything on the spot, but raised a finger and asked around a lock of her hair: "Is there any evidence for this?"

Linghu Zhitong smiled wryly: "Your Highness, this is a serious crime of extermination. How can it be possible to leave evidence after discussing such matters?"

"It's true..." Li Yuechen nodded slightly, "General Linghu's heart is devoted to the Tang Dynasty, and his loyalty is commendable!"

"Your Highness is absurd, this is the duty of a courtier..." Linghu Zhitong replied with a smile.

Li Yuechen nodded: "No, no, General Linghu should be rewarded for his dedication to the Great Tang... Speaking of which, if he is willing to abide by the military regulations of Qianniuwei, why not try to come to Qianniuwei to continue leading troops in the future?"

"Thanks to His Highness, I am willing to join His Highness's army as a recruit!" Linghu Zhitong immediately replied.

Hearing that Pei Yan wanted to hijack Tianhou, why did he not report to Tianhou, but took a big risk to inform the princess first?Isn't it just for this?

Now that the princess is willing to give him this opportunity, of course he must seize it.

What's the point of training hard?If you can enter the princess's army, the treatment, the food... Not to mention the hard training, it's no problem to go to the battlefield every day to kill people!

"However, there is no evidence for this matter after all, why don't you spread it to the outside world, what do you think?" Li Yuechen asked.

Linghu Zhitong nodded: "Naturally, only His Highness knows about this matter!"

Li Yuechen nodded, expressing that he was very kind.

……

After sending Linghu Zhitong away, Li Yuechen immediately trotted all the way into the pavilion: "Wan'er, check Pei Yan carefully, but don't be discovered! During this time, all my subordinates are at your disposal!"

"Yes, I'm going right now!"

Looking at her expression, she knew that the matter was serious, so Shangguan Wan'er didn't delay, she got up immediately and ran out.

After seeing her leave, Li Yuechen sat down.If this is true, then Pei Yan's actions have constituted treason, no matter what, we must ensure the safety of my mother!
It's better not to move casually now, the royal bodyguards are all trained by themselves, if Pei Yan is really the opposite, he will definitely focus on his own movements, so it's better not to go out casually in the next few days.

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned her head and said: "Sister, Wan'er is gone, how about I play chess with sister?"

"Chen'er is fine." Princess Yiyang shook her head lightly, "Playing chess with Chen'er, I don't even know how to release the water..."

In terms of poor chess skills, Princess Yiyang has never seen anyone worse than Li Yuechen.

Hearing this undisguised contempt, Li Yuechen drooped his eyelids, and said it as if I was good at it.

When my father was still alive, I could have a fifty-five split with him!
　Thanks [juhgt] for the 100 starting coins!
　　Thank you [other people's wives don't feel bad] for the reward of 260 starting coins!
