Chang'an is good

"Princess Gu'an, why don't you hurry up and accept the order to thank me?" Seeing that Ming Luo was kneeling still, the servant reminded him with a smile.

Ming Luo managed to regain a trace of his thoughts.

princess position...

This seems to be the highest honor she can achieve as a woman with a foreign surname under the Li family.

But she wasn't half-joyed and excited. Would it really be a good thing that this conferment appeared at such a critical moment?

The huge shock and bewilderment gave her a bit of courage. She didn't accept the order immediately, but said in confusion: "My aunt is so generous, Luoer is really terrified, but she won't be rewarded for nothing..."

"You have been with me for many years and shared my worries. How can you be in vain." Emperor Shengji was not angry because of her hesitation, but said: "You deserve the position of a princess."

The emperor also didn't have the intention to beat around the bush: "Besides, you need the identity of a Dasheng princess when you go to Tuyuhun to get married this time."

Ming Luo was shocked.

Marriage?

Tuyuhun!
Her eyelashes trembled: "Aunt..."

"I have asked people to prepare an imperial decree, and it will be announced to the inside and outside when the court tomorrow morning."

Emperor Shengji looked at Ming Luo who was kneeling there, and said: "You are not an ordinary girl in the back house. You should know that Tubo is powerful now, and has a long-standing grudge with Dasheng, and there is no way to resolve it for now, and Tuyuhun is for Dasheng and Tubo. If there is no buffer barrier between them, Dasheng will have to face Tubo’s wolfish ambitions.”

"Tuyuhun cannot be surrendered to Tubo, let alone be destroyed by Tubo. Therefore, at this time, Dasheng needs to express his intention to protect and help each other, so as to comfort Tuyuhun's heart."

Marriage is naturally the best way to show sincerity, and it is also the most important thing to be seen by Tubo.

"I am a great and prosperous country, and it has been strong for many years. It is impossible for Tubo to be unscrupulous. The act of marrying Tuyuhun is also a deterrent and a reminder."

"Right now, there are internal troubles in Dasheng, and there is no need to add external troubles in a short period of time. The interests and interests are involved. I don't need to say more, you should also be clear."

Ming Luo answered "Yes" with a trembling voice.

She knows it well...but why is it her?

There is always no shortage of suitable-age clan daughters in the clan, so why did my aunt choose her alone?
Is it because she violated the emperor's taboo, so she can't be kept by my side in this capital?

That's right, even if it's just a pawn, wouldn't it be a pity if it was thrown away and crushed?
Of course, the last sliver of value must be used to live up to so many years of "cultivation", isn't it?

"I know, you may want to ask why I chose you alone."

The voice of the Holy Book Emperor sounded, without a trace of joy or anger: "You have been taught and cultivated by me since you were young, so you are different from other clan women. The new leader of Tuyuhun is in his prime, and he is a rare talent in civil and military affairs. They rely on the protection of Dasheng , everyone will treat you with courtesy and respect, and when you marry, you will be the mother of a country, and you can rule the country with them as much as you can—”

Speaking of this, Emperor Shengji's voice was slightly lower, as if he was in a trance.

Back then when her Chongyue married to Beidi, it was really a purgatory like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire...There was no respect or courtesy there, and there was only humiliation and catharsis.

The homeland could not be her backing, and the meritorious deeds of the past became the crimes that devoured her, slashing at her with sharp blades and whips.

For a moment, Emperor Shengji said slowly to himself: "You are far luckier than Chongyue..."

Lucky?

Ming Luo lowered his reddish eyes, his eyes were full of sadness and irony.

"If you can grasp it with your heart, then this trip to get married will be a turning point for you. Tuyuhun will treat you favorably, and Dasheng will not treat you badly." The Emperor Shengji finally said: "Go, don't worry about it." To disappoint me again."

"Yes... Gu'an follows the teachings of the sage."

Holding the golden book of imperial decree in his hand, Ming Luo left the Ganlu Hall step by step.

In the end, she is still superficial. The emperor knows what she is wrong, but he doesn't bother to tell her clearly, and he doesn't need to listen to her excuses. He just needs to uproot her like a flower and plant, and then weigh how much her dying flower and plant will have. Divide the value, and finally decide where to throw her away...

luck, luck...

My aunt is really good at beautifying the word "use" into charity and bestowal.

Mother of a Nation?
Tuyuhun is only a tiny place, not as big as Dasheng's prefecture...and sandwiched between Dasheng and Tubo, it is still difficult to survive. How can she talk about dignity when she gets married?
What are you talking about with her ability to govern the country together... Tubo's ambition is here, and it will be a matter of time to annex Tuyuhun. She married in the past, just to delay the arrival of that day a little bit!

To put it bluntly, her role is the same as that of Chongyue back then, just as a victim in exchange for Dasheng's respite!

When Princess Chongyue married Beidi, she bought Dasheng a good opportunity to recuperate for three years, and also bought her ruthless mother the best opportunity to take power——

But now, how much can she, the "Princess Gu'an", gain in exchange for the other party?

The so-called "good fortune" is just a lie used to lure her to work harder to die!
Tears of grief, anger and unwillingness welled up in Ming Luo's eyes. With her hazy vision, she raised her head to look at the many palaces, and suddenly felt that so many years of hard work and prudence were just a dream.

That's right, she should have understood a long time ago, since she decided to be Chong Yue's shadow, she should have thought about this day.

She looked down at the imperial decree in her hand, it was really sad to say that the time she "learned" the most was actually today.

No, it's not like, it's that she has really become the second Chongyue.

Ming Luo raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and chuckled lightly.

She was really wrong in the past. She naively thought that the emperor's twin children who died really had a heart of guilt. As long as she was the shadow of Chongyue, she could find long-term protection from the emperor's guilt and debt.

Now it seems that it is true, false, or shadow, what is the difference?
Her shadow ended up like this, would it be any different for the indistinguishable Chang Suining?

Ming Luo's red eyes were filled with hollow curiosity.

She didn't need to be in a hurry to get rid of the opponent, they were just pawns, she just had to watch this pawn and wait to see what happened to the other pawn... I don't know if there will be any new ideas?

She laughed again, and walked into the thick night with slow steps.

After Ming Luo left, people entered the Ganlu Hall to face the saints soon one after another.

After several officials left with a secret call, Tianjing Guoshi came with his whisk in his arm.

"...Li Yi is really useless. I thought that with Chang Kuo sitting in the army, the two should complement each other. Even if Li Yi has no great talent, it will not make a big mistake. At least he, as a child of the Li family, can replace him. I deter the rebels."

"But he was not able to use his troops before, and there were countless impeachments in the court. Now that his father, King Huainan, has passed away, I am worried that he will have a different heart under the pressure..."

Hearing the emperor's whisper, Tianjing Guoshi said: "So the saint never agreed to the proposal to change the head coach, and he was afraid that he would force against General Li Yi at this juncture?"

"Exactly." Emperor Shengji said: "But my objection is just for them to see. Li Yi, the coach, must be changed now, but he can't make a big fanfare and let him and the army know the news in advance—"

"So, I have ordered General Huaihua, He Wei, to go to Yangzhou with my secret order. When I see Li Yi, I will show the order of Yi Shuai and order Li Yi to return to Huainan Road to watch his father's funeral."

Only in this way can the shock of Yi Shuai be minimized.

Tianjing Guoshi: "The sage is thoughtful."

"How dare I be careless at such an opportunity..." The Emperor Shengji showed a trace of exhaustion at this moment: "However, there are very few good and reliable generals in my hands, and He Wei is one of them. After he left Beijing this time, If there is another riot somewhere, how many people will I have available?"

Preparing for a rainy day is the way of the capable, but the chips she can use to plan the layout are getting less and less.

This time she liquidated the eldest grandson's family, although she hurt a thousand enemies, she also hurt a thousand herself, not only generals, but also those who can replace her in important positions in the court and control all places are far from enough.

If they can't be replaced in time, those powers can only be returned to the hands of the Cui family and other big families.

The Emperor of the Holy Book seems to be asking himself: "...the national teacher said that I was born with the appearance of an emperor, but do I, the emperor, really think that I am dying?"

National Master Tianjing sighed softly: "This is not a number that the poor can spy on."

"I have entrusted everything to Dasheng Jiangshan. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been diligent in managing the government without any slack. I think that God's will should not treat me like this..."

Looking at the jade map engraved with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains under the imperial case, the fatigue in the emperor's eyes slowly dissipated, and he thought: "I just lack talents...I often think that if I can find Chongyue, I will not be able to find Chongyue at this moment." So hesitant."

Her Chongyue is a born star, and has the ability to gather people to their hearts. Even though she is a daughter, there are always good generals and talents who are willing to follow her loyally——in the eyes of the Emperor Shengji, that is based on talent. In addition, there is a natural aura above talent.

What is born in nature is always something that others cannot imitate.

Thinking of this, Emperor Shengji asked: "Is the national teacher still unable to predict the 'origin' of that child?"

"That girl's appearance is really impossible to see." Tianjing Guoshi said: "But I believe that the saint already has the answer in his heart, doesn't he?"

The emperor did not say anything, but the scene in the Confucian Temple that day appeared in front of his eyes again, as well as the look at each other in the rain.

——Dare to ask the Holy Majesty, is it wrong for the minister to choose to fight back?

That embarrassing girl with dazzling courage stood in the position of the winner and asked her like that.

"I have [-]% of the resolution..." Emperor Shengji whispered: "The remaining [-]% depends on whether she leaves or stays."

"If she leaves, will His Majesty force her to stay?"

Emperor Shengji: "If I don't stay, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as going to heaven if I try to find her again."

Chang Suian's injury is gradually improving, and now she can get out of bed and walk around. Then, after the Chang family brothers and sisters return from Dayun Temple this time, she will consider sending more people to guard against it.

Regarding the emperor's attitude, Tianjing Guoshi was noncommittal.

Emperor Shengji did not continue to linger on this topic. There are too many facts that she needs to pay attention to: "The good or bad of this battle in Yangzhou, will the national teacher get anything in the near future?"

Over the years, when she encounters a stagnant problem, she always asks Tianjing Guoshi to try to make a divination.

Tianjing: "You can't get anything from poor people, the only word is 'put'."

"Put it..." The Holy Book Emperor repeated softly.

"Yes." Tian Jing said: "The key to this battle may be above this word. All decisions are in the hands of the sage, so the deep meaning here needs to be understood by the sage."

The Holy Book Emperor pondered quietly.

……

In Dayun Temple, in the Zen room where Chang Suining stayed, the lights were on all night long.

Early the next morning, she went to look for Wujue, and handed him a long painting box: "When Taifu Chu comes here, I will pass it on for me."

"Why don't you send it to the mansion yourself?" Wujue asked.

There were only two people in the abbot's room. Those monks who were loyal to Emperor Shengchi would pay attention to Chang Suining's actions, but they would not listen to them all the time, and Ah Dian and Ah Che were waiting outside.

A Dian has a childlike heart, but is extremely sensitive. If someone dares to eavesdrop and is caught by him, the trouble will only be the other party.

Therefore, Chang Sui Ning said: "If I go to give it away, I am afraid that the teacher will look at this painting carefully, and I will not be able to leave."

This is also the reason why she kept procrastinating. The teacher saw the clue that day in the Dengtai Building. Although she was fooled by her, just imagine if her paintings were placed in the teacher's house, and they were repeated for a long time every day. Look carefully, I'm afraid the teacher will become suspicious sooner or later.

Wujue looked at her: "Do you really want to leave?"

"if not?"

Wujue's shoulders lowered depressedly, and his voice also lowered: "Sure enough, I'm leaving again..."

"Don't worry, I will come back alive this time." Chang Suining assured him.

"..." Wubu glanced at her resolutely: "Can't you really take me with you?"

"It's not a rebellion, how can there be such a kidnapper?" Chang Suining took a date and ate it: "You have to guard this Dayun Temple."

Wujue sighed, looking at the meditation room, he just felt annoying: "This monk status, this ruined temple... I really want to burn it down and escape to death."

Chang Suining also sighed: "Why did it catch fire, Buddha listen up."

"There are too many debts." Wujue said, raised his arms, weighed his sleeves, and wanted to show his arms again, "If there are too many evil consequences, naturally there will be no taboos, as the saying goes..."

"I know, I know, a scholar dies for a confidant..." Chang Suining took his words in time, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will write to you when I settle down, and the follow-up will depend on the situation. Allowed, I will pick you up when the time comes."

Only then did Wujue feel relieved, for fear of being abandoned again.

"After I left, anyone who asks, just ask, I took brother to seek medical treatment, even if they ask about offering wine, it's the same." Chang Suining explained separately.

She doesn't intend to let the people around her know about this matter. Firstly, it is more in line with her plan to seek medical treatment temporarily. Second, even if the act of leaving Beijing does not violate any law, how can Qiao Yang and the others not know about it and not participate? Nature is still the best, to avoid the possibility of being implicated in the future.

Since you are leaving, you should walk cleanly, and don't leave trouble for the people around you.

Wujue agreed.

At this time, the door of the abbot's room was knocked, and Xi'er's voice reached his ears.

"come in."

Xi'er pushed the door open, and Ah Dian followed, looking for some snacks.

"Girl, I got the things!" Xi'er lowered her voice, took out a large rolled up paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Chang Suining.

"You little girl has some skills, did you really find them?" Wujue moved his head curiously: "Let me also see how you scold me..."

Seeing this, Ah Dian, who had two snacks in his hand, also came over.

Thank you for your monthly pass. There are two days left at the end of the month. Do you have a monthly pass? (*^▽^*) The transitional chapter is probably finished, and the second volume will be opened after the next chapter comes out of Beijing~
