Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 506
The battle in the northwest is the most important event in Daqi today.

After experiencing the disastrous defeats of Feng Fengzhi and his son, the imperial court took the opportunity to arrest a party of the Feng family and banned the Queen Mother. At the suggestion of Princess Changle, the imperial court avenged the injustice of the late Emperor's Empress Zhang and the three princes.

These matters have been properly handled, and a tacit understanding has been reached between Princess Changle and the court. The princess will mainly stay in the northwest to fight against Tibet, giving the Qi court a chance to breathe. After the internal affairs are dealt with, the court will send additional reinforcements.

Of course, before that happens, the imperial court will restore the identity of the eldest princess Chang Le, so that the eldest princess can stand upright in front of people.

Under the guidance of the Grand Master, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and officials from the Ministry of Rites, Da Zongzheng, and Zhongshu Province officials led the eunuchs all the way to Xingyuan Mansion without stopping.

As they approached the northwest, Da Zongzheng and others felt more and more that the Grand Master's decision was most beneficial to Da Qi.

The defeat of the Feng family and the loss of tens of thousands of elites is a trivial matter. The important thing is that the Feng family has been in power for many years due to cholera. Their generals were paid by the air force. Some even saw that the situation was not good and collaborated with the enemy like Wang Zeng did, causing chaos in the border areas. With wars raging everywhere, the Grand Master must quickly handle the internal affairs before he can turn around and concentrate on dealing with the situation in the northwest.

At that time, it will definitely give Tubo a chance to breathe. After Tubo has set up its military formation, it will be difficult to pack it up again. Therefore, at this moment, Princess Changle and the soldiers and horses of the six states are particularly important to the Qi court.

No matter what Tubo thinks, Daqi must highlight the status of Princess Changle, so that it can gather military morale and morale in a short time.

This is what the Da Qi court should give to the princess.

Da Zongzheng came in person, firstly, on behalf of the imperial court and the royal clan, who valued the princess very much, and secondly, to identify the princess's identity with his own eyes. Even though the princess was seriously injured and had been away from home for many years, some clues could always be discerned from it.

Da Zongzheng took a deep breath and felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, because in addition to Princess Changle, he also had to secretly inquire about Xiao Yu. Although on the surface he was following the Grand Master's instructions, but deep down in his heart Li still hopes that Xiao Yu can survive. After all, the Xiao family is a royal family, and Xiao family should be in charge of court affairs.

The little emperor is indeed too young. If this continues, he is likely to be ignored by the Grand Master and Zhongshu Sheng within a few years. It is good that the Grand Master is devoted to Daqi. If he has other thoughts, there will inevitably be civil strife.

When Taizu was alive, even if there were kings with different surnames, no one had other thoughts. In the final analysis, the king was weak and the ministers were strong.

While Da Zong was thinking wildly, Xingyuan Mansion was already in front of him.

"Dazong Zheng," said the official of the Ministry of Rites, "should we go into the city now to see Princess Changle, or should we take a rest before entering the city?"

Da Zong looked over carefully. There were guards on the city tower and at the city gate, but no one came out to greet them.

They traveled all the way from the capital to Xingyuan Mansion. Every day, people would report to Princess Changle wherever they went. The princess must have known when they were entering the city, but she did not send anyone to come. This shows that she had other considerations.

Da Zongzheng took a deep breath, and then said: "Find a place, let's change into official uniforms, then take the imperial edict and rewards and go into the city to welcome the princess."

Before Da Zongzheng left the capital, he specifically read the records about Princess Changle, and saw Taizu's personal promise that if the princess returned to the court in the future, civil and military officials would be sent to greet her. I, Emperor Ji of Da Qi, married a foreigner for the sake of the people. When glory returns to its hometown.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to respond. The grand master had told them that these matters must be obeyed by Da Zongzheng. After all, Da Zong was a relative of the royal family and was closer than them to the eldest princess.

Da Zongzheng and others turned their horses and left. Nie Shuang on the tower could not help but frown. He looked at Zhao Luoyang: "What do they mean? In case... do you want someone to follow them and have a look?" Zhao Luoyang Shaking his head: "The eldest princess has been framed twice. Since the court knows the whole story, it should also know what to do next."

The eldest princess of Changle was framed and remarried. After the two Zanpu passed away, she wanted to return to Daqi, but was secretly harmed by the Feng family again. She lost two of her biological children. Not only that, but also the Bai family's children and those who followed the elders. Princess person.

That was a human life, and it was also most of Princess Changle’s life.

Even if they don't care about the pain, they still have to pretend to feel it at this moment. What Princess Changle wants is not that the court recognizes her identity as a princess, but that the Qi court recognizes the past, those injustices, those frame-ups, and those Lives died for this.

Half an hour later, Da Zongzheng and his party appeared in front of the city gate again. This time they were dressed in official uniforms, holding imperial edicts in their hands, and stood at the city gate in a polite manner to request the summons of Princess Changle.

Zhao Luoyang nodded to Nie Shuang: "Let them enter the city!"

In Xingyuanfu City, many people heard the news that the imperial court was going to war, and the person leading the soldiers to resist the Tibetans was Princess Changle.

The people were also half-convinced, Princess Changle was really alive?It wasn't until they saw with their own eyes that Daqi officials walked into the city holding the imperial edict and went to deliver the edict to the eldest princess, that everyone finally understood that this was all true.

Immediately afterwards, everyone whispered to each other and began to whisper about the rumors about the eldest princess. Therefore, the eldest princess was framed for her second marriage in Tubo. Only one of the children born by the eldest princess survived.

Da Zong was listening to the whispers of the people, and he felt increasingly uneasy. He didn't know whether Princess Changle could let them in, and whether she would successfully accept the imperial edict from him.

If this errand was not done well, he would not be able to explain it to the emperor and the grand master when he returned.

Just as Da Zong had expected, the eldest princess Changle did not notify them to come in, and the waiting time was extremely difficult. The official of the Ministry of Rites even couldn't help but said: "Did the eldest princess have other thoughts..."

Before he finished speaking, Da Zong glared at him sternly.

Princess Changle had been in Tubo for so many years, and even though she knew she was being plotted to remarry, she still tried her best to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries. If Princess Changle wanted to get through to Tibet, she would not wait until now.

Several people continued to wait quietly, and finally the door opened.Da Zong looked up and couldn't help but be startled. Surrounded by people, a woman with scars on her face and plain clothes, who looked to be in her 50s, slowly walked over.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, Da Zongzheng still took a breath. He did not expect that Princess Changle would look like this, especially the scars on her face, which seemed to split her whole body in half.One side of her face was still normal, but the other side of her face collapsed due to broken bones, as if the water had been sucked out of her. It shrank there, which was particularly horrifying, but her eyes were still clear.

Looking at those eyes, Da Zongzheng remembered how Princess Changle looked when she got married.A weak woman supported the entire Daqi state.

She is the real empress of Daqi.

Da Zongzheng's knees weakened, and he knelt down, holding the imperial edict in his hand high: "We, the ministers, are following Taizu's orders to welcome Princess Changle back to the court."
