Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 86: Changsun Wuji’s hatred is that his daughter-in-law is gone!
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the old ministers of Prince Qin's palace widened.

Can't believe it!

They couldn't believe that such words came out of Fang Xuanling's mouth. How could it be like this?How could this be?

In particular, Changsun Wuji was the most unwilling of all.

"Xuanling, what nonsense are you talking about again! How can we, the great Tang Dynasty, use this method to quell foreign enemies!"

His eyes were scarlet and he glared at Fang Xuanling angrily.

Other former ministers of the Qin Palace were not as extreme as Changsun Wuji, but they were also extremely incomprehensible.

Why?

Why?
As a Fang Mou, Fang Xuanling was, needless to say, smart, and during this period after the war, he was responsible for remotely commanding Youzhou and liaising with the negotiators from the Yan Kingdom.

As the person involved, he said such a method, could it be...that this was really the only way?

Can only use... women to exchange for peace?
At this moment, Li Shimin, as the leader of a country, was also very angry.

Although it is said that the defeated party often has to agree to some conditions of the other party that are detrimental to its own interests in order to exchange the hostages held in the hands of the other party.

For example, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu would choose to make peace every time they lost a battle.

However, Li Shimin never imagined that his Tang Dynasty would follow the footsteps of the Han Dynasty?
Make a marriage….
In fact, Li Shimin didn't care, but what nonsense did Fang Xuanling suggest?Send his most precious daughter, Princess Changle, out?
He used his eldest daughter, Princess Changle, to marry him to stabilize the Yan Kingdom and the superpower behind it. If this kind of thing spreads, both the people and the enemy countries will think that the Tang Dynasty has no men and needs to use his eldest daughter to exchange for peace.

shame!

Endless shame! !
Therefore, it is not a moment of despair, Li Shimin would not have agreed to such conditions.

Not to mention, Princess Changle is his eldest daughter and one of the two most beloved children of Queen Changsun.

Li Shimin loved Empress Changsun very much and was a daughter slave. It can be said that Princess Changle was an extremely important existence in his heart. How could he give it away so easily?

"Xuanling, tell me what you think about the marriage?"

Even though Li Shimin was furious, he still asked calmly at this moment.

It was Fang Xuanling who negotiated the terms of defeat with the envoys of the Yan Kingdom. He wanted to hear a deeper meaning.

"Your Majesty, we are defeated."

"Besides, the Tang Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. Isn't that enough to explain everything?"

"A small city in the Yan Kingdom is not as big as Chang'an City in our Tang Dynasty. It can defeat the army led by Yao Jin and Chai Shao. If the superpower behind it learns about the natural and man-made disasters in our Tang Dynasty, it takes the opportunity to join forces with the Yan Kingdom What should I do if I join the invasion of our country, the Tang Dynasty?"

"I'm not sure, it's a new version of the Wei River Incident! Maybe this time, the Turks will be involved!"

"If there is another incident on the Wei River, your majesty, your throne...I would like to say it boldly, if there are two incidents on the Wei River in just six months, coupled with the Quyuuli Incident and the locust disaster, you...can't possibly hold your position securely." ah!"

Fang Xuanling said treacherous words in a trembling voice.

Saying in front of the emperor that he is not secure on the throne is punishable by beheading.

But he wants to say it!

Must say it! !

If you don't say this, His Majesty won't be able to understand the situation in front of you, and the Tang Dynasty will most likely be devastated by war again!It is even possible to destroy the country because of this!

From saying these words.

Fang Xuanling never thought that she could be kind.

This is not a gift of peace to a random princess, but Princess Changle, Li Shimin’s beloved daughter! !
He knew very well Li Shimin's love for Princess Changle, and saying so was tantamount to inserting a knife into Li Shimin's heart, into... the emperor's heart! !
When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

Fang Xuanling knew exactly what this meant.

And he also knows that good advice is hard on the ears.

He only hopes that his words can make His Majesty pay attention to the Yan Kingdom and the superpower threat behind it, as well as the current precarious predicament!

Even if….
After only hearing a little bit, Fang Xuanling thought she had succeeded.

This is the duty of a courtier.

Solve problems for today’s saints.

Li Shimin wanted to know how to deal with foreign enemies, so he told him! !

At this time, Fang Xuanling thought that she had completed this task. Even if she got the worst result, she would die without regrets! !

"Your Majesty, are you okay?!"

Looking at Li Shimin who was stunned in front of him, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but remind him.

at this time,

Li Shimin was like a drowning person who was salvaged from falling into the water, his face was pale and his eyes were lifeless.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Seeing Li Shimin's delay in responding, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but speak again.

"Xuanling, this is all we can do? Can't other princesses do this?"

Li Shimin asked in a daze.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Everyone knows that Your Majesty loves Princess Changle the most. If you send another princess, wouldn't it mean that you are not paying enough attention to the Yan Kingdom?"

"In this way, it is impossible for them to take the matter of marriage and our Datang's yearning for peace into their hearts."

Li Shimin was silent, standing there blankly.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Xuan Ling, you are talking nonsense!"

"There must be other solutions to this matter! We can't send His Highness Changle to get married!"

Changsun Wuji vetoed this matter more than anyone else.

Because, just recently, he and Li Shimin had a private conversation about arranging a marriage arrangement for Changsun Chong, and the target was Princess Changle.

Li Shimin didn't agree at first, but he thought that Princess Changle had indeed reached the age of marriage, and Changsun Wuji was his friend since childhood, so he felt relieved to leave it to his son.

Therefore, Sun Wuji could tell that although Li Shimin had not agreed yet, he thought he would agree soon.

after all!

In this world, except for his son Changsun Chong, who else could be worthy of Princess Changle?

This matter can be said to be a sure thing.

Princess Changle is Li Shimin's favorite daughter, and everyone knows it.

With Princess Changle as his daughter-in-law, the power of his eldest grandson's family will once again rise qualitatively.

Changsun Wuji even thought that he was the star of the family and would be remembered by the descendants of the Changsun family.

Can!
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling came out at this moment to marry Princess Changle to Na Laoshizi, the leader of the Yan Kingdom. This was tantamount to pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth and giving his daughter-in-law to the Yan Kingdom.

this!How can I bear it?

So at this moment, Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling like a murderer.

He has never resented Fang Xuanling more than he does today.

Except for Changsun Wuji, other former officials of the Qin Palace, such as Du Ruhui and others, remained silent, but the military generals stood up.

Qin Qiong couldn't help but said: "Xuanling, fight! We are not afraid! This time we have consolidated the defense of Chang'an City and can mobilize the army of the Sixteenth Guards. The conditions are several times better than the original Weishui Alliance to fight against the Yan Kingdom and the big powers behind it. , it’s not certain who will win and who will lose!”

Fang Xuanling sighed: "Yes, second brother Qin, even you are not sure whether you can win."

"I don't know how long it will take. One month? Two months? Half a year? No one knows."

"And once it is dragged into the quagmire of war, we, the Tang Dynasty, will no longer be able to distract from other things. How to solve the problem of the plow and the locust plague? Can we rely on the people themselves to solve it?"

Qin Qiong's tone paused.

Relying on the people to solve the problem?
I guess... they all have to die!

He couldn't refute.

This is why wars must first resolve domestic conflicts before they can begin. Once they are not resolved, they will fall into the current situation.

Once it fails, it will face counterattacks from the enemy and the rebuke of the people at home.

Internal and external troubles!

At this time, the military attaches had nothing to say.

now.

Li Shimin looked at everyone except Changsun Wuji, who seemed to silently agree with this suggestion, and felt filled with regret. If he had known this, he would not have sent Cheng Yaojin to the Northern Expedition.

But at that time, who would have thought that a small Yan Kingdom with a population of a few million could defeat the Tang Dynasty's army with a population of tens of millions!

"Xuanling, have you talked to the Yan Kingdom envoy? Just... about Changle?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "We talked about it a few days ago. They are willing and attach great importance to it. They are willing to establish eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty. So... I risked beheading to remonstrate today!"

Forge everlasting friendship?

Everyone knew that this eternal friendship mentioned by Fang Xuanling was just talk and no one took it seriously.

When you are weak, of course you want to be friendly.

And when he is strong, of course he wants to bully you.

This principle has never changed.

To put it more closely, it is like Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty and her pro-Turks. After only a few years of peace, the Turks were ready to extend their fangs and attack the Han.

Therefore, it is true that marriage is timely and can maintain peace for some years.

Therefore.

If the matter of Princess Changle comes to pass, the role of Princess Changle's marriage will not be to permanently establish friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, but only to temporarily slow down the Yan Kingdom.

After this period of natural and man-made disasters is over, the role of Princess Changle's marriage has been achieved.

Changsun Wuji shouted angrily: "No! Your Majesty, no! There must be other ways to do this!"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji in shock, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair: "Auxiliary machine, tell me how to stabilize the Yan Kingdom?"

"Our national conditions in the Tang Dynasty do not allow for war with the Yan Kingdom anymore, so we are a defeated country. How do you think we can stabilize the Yan Kingdom without losing territory as a defeated country?"

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Shimin didn't give up and looked at Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui and others: "What about you, do you have any ideas?"

Everyone was silent, all... lowered their heads.

Li Shimin immediately understood their choice.

"You... all go, all go. Go back and think about it. I'm tired too. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

Li Shimin said weakly.

He did not resist the marriage, but after all, Changle was Baobao's daughter and the eldest daughter. Li Shimin would not have been able to send her away if the situation was not desperate.

I just hope that they can find a way to stabilize the Yan Kingdom on this day.

They also only have one day.

The Tang Dynasty suffered from natural and man-made disasters and could not tolerate the indecision of the imperial court.

soon.

Fang Xuanling and others retreated, but Changsun Wuji remained in place.

Changsun Wuji's old eyes were red: "Your Majesty, this is not possible! The beauty [Princess Changle] and Chong'er are still married! They are a good match. We can send Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Gaoyang, or even... His Highness Xiao Sizi, Princess Jinyang!”

Li Shimin's eyes were stunned, and then he said angrily: "Auxiliary machine, you are really a little crazy. How old is little Si Zi? You want her to get married? What are you thinking!!"

"For the future power of your eldest grandson's family, and for the acquisition of beauty, are my other princesses really not human?"

Xiangcheng and Gaoyang were fine, but Changsun Wuji mentioned Xiao Sizi, which shocked Li Shimin.

If it wasn't Changsun Wuji who said it, but other ministers, he would chop off that person's head!

Princess Changle is his eldest daughter, and little Sizi is his most beloved daughter!

"Your Majesty, I, I..."

Changsun Wuji was at a loss.

"Go down, you're tired, take a good rest."

"If there are other ways tomorrow, you can tell me."

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder, and then asked someone to send Changsun Wuji back to his mansion.

Nuoda Tai Chi Palace is empty.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sit in the highest position and stared blankly at the empty place in front of him: "Changle, Changle..."

He murmured, murmured, kept murmuring...
………………………….
Changle Hall.

This is the palace of Princess Changle. In the past, no one disturbed her, so she enjoyed her leisure time. However, recently, people have been visiting her frequently.

"Changle, Changle, I'm coming!"

Changsun Chong held a bamboo basket outside the hall and said with a smile: "Sister Changle, I brought you your favorite lotus seed porridge today. Come out and have a look."

Not long after the words fell, Princess Changle, dressed in red, walked out of the palace.

What a woman that is!
Even though she was several meters away, it was difficult to hide Li Lizhi's stunning appearance.

Beautiful and picturesque, and beautiful!
Perhaps, the natural beauty that people often say comes from her.

Or perhaps, even the natural beauty is a disparagement to the Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty.

"Master Changsun, you are here again."

Princess Changle smiled.

In fact, she didn't like Changsun Chong's visit very much.

But there was nothing she could do about it. Her father had been trying to find out about her marriage status recently, plus Changsun Wuji asked about her welfare from time to time, and Changsun Chong visited from time to time. She knew that she... would probably be arranged to get married.

Although I don't like Changsun Chong, I have tried to like him during this period, but if I don't like him, I just don't like him, and I don't feel any excitement at all.

but….
So what?

Since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker have been ordered by parents.

How could she, a female prostitute, refuse?

If sacrificing one's own happiness can earn the eldest grandson's family's loyalty to their father, then...it would not disgrace one's position as the eldest daughter of the royal family.

Holding back her physical discomfort, Princess Changle stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Grandson, for sending me lotus seed porridge."

Changsun Chong laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's just a little effort."

"Speaking of which, sister Changle, I recently saw that a West Lake in Zhuquefang has just been built. How about we find time to go out and take a look?"

Princess Changle hesitated: "This..."

Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and said: "What? Changle, are you rejecting my invitation again? You have already rejected my invitation twice. The last time you said you wanted to play with His Highness Xiao Sizi, and the second time you wanted to accompany the Queen. What about this time?" "

Princess Changle smiled lightly and said: "That's not the case. Since the eldest grandson has an appointment, then Changle will..."

"Your Majesty is here!"

Just as Chang Le was speaking, the sharp eunuch's voice came.

Changsun Chong and Princess Changle saluted quickly.

Soon, Li Shimin, dressed in casual clothes, came over and was slightly shocked when he saw Changsun Chong: "Xiao Chong, why are you here?"

Changsun Chong saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am not... coming to play with Princess Changle."

Because of their relationship with Chang Sun Wuji, Li Shimin and Chang Sun Chong were considered uncles and nephews, so there were not too many red tapes.

When Li Shimin heard this, he understood it and nodded: "Let's change it another day. Today I want to accompany Changle to reminisce about the past. I haven't spent time with my family for a long time."

Changsun Chong, who lowered his head, was a little unhappy, but he quickly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, take the order!"

Changsun Chong slowly retired.

No one else was seen again, and then Princess Changle came over: "Father, why are you free to come here today?"

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I just don't have anything to do at hand, and I feel like I haven't been with you and Xiao Sizi for a long time, so I just happened to come over and have a look."

"Changle, go and change into casual clothes. Father heard that there is a newly opened restaurant outside. The vinegar chicken they make is delicious. Father is rarely free today, so I will take you out to have a look."

Princess Changle was overjoyed when she heard this: "Father, are you serious?"

The joy between his brows made Li Shimin stunned. Then he turned away in shame and said absently: "Yes."

"Then I'll go call Xiao Sizi and come with me?"

"No, just us, father and daughter. I heard that vinegar chicken is not suitable for children, so don't let little Sizi watch us eat it. When the time comes, she will pester us for it, and father can't help it."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.

He always feels infinite happiness when talking about his daughter, Xiao Sizi.

Even though he was messing around, he cried and came to him every time to support him. The satisfaction of being a father was a happiness that even a thousand dollars could not buy.

Princess Changle thought for a moment and smiled: "That's fine, then, father, wait for Changle."

She went back and changed into red clothes.

Even the folk version is still so beautiful.

She has a lot of these folk clothes, because in the past, little Sizi always pestered her to sneak out of the palace to play. Princess Changle didn't think much of it, but she was afraid that the playful little guy would not find her, and she would come up with some crooked ideas to leave the palace. It would be bad if you get injured during the period, so Changle Palace bought a lot of folk clothes.

"Father, let's go."

Princess Changle smiled softly.

"it is good."

Li Shimin laughed, and then walked out of the palace with Princess Changle.

in the carriage.

The father and daughter talked about daily family matters, and Li Shimin did not want to tell Princess Changle about the main affairs of the government, as this would only cause more trouble to his daughter.

Arrive at the restaurant.

The father and daughter walked out, while there were many plainclothes Jinwu guards nearby protecting them secretly.

"Shop owner, get your signature!"

Li Shimin said loudly.

"Hey, sir, that's good!"

The waiter responded and then ran to get busy.

Li Shimin poured two cups of tea for himself and Princess Changle, and said with a smile: "Changle, his tea is delicious, you can try it."

Princess Changle smiled: "Father, Changle knows."

She took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and asked, "Father, why did you specifically call me out today?"

Li Shimin was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Didn't my father say that he is free?"

Princess Changle rolled her eyes: "Do you think I believe it?"

"If you are really free, you should find your mother as soon as possible and then me, instead of just me."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Chang Le, it's true... I can't hide anything from you."

Chang Le smiled and said: "Father, I..."

I was about to say it, but the thunderous discussion among the diners next to me was impossible to ignore.

"Damn it! Not only did the emperor lose the battle, but he also sold broken Qu Yuan plows to us people. What on earth did he want to do?" "Who knows, he snatched the crown prince's throne and gave away the King of Chu. My relatives will be killed and sent away, I only know that God can’t stand it anymore, the locust plague is coming!”

"He should step down and take the throne, the emperor and the prince!"

"Yes! I think so too!"

At the feet of the Emperor, there were actually people discussing the Emperor in public.

The plainclothes Jin Wuwei next to Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to step forward and tear their mouths apart.

But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Li Shimin.

"His Majesty!"

He whispered in confusion.

Li Shimin didn't look back and said calmly: "Can you stop a group of people from slandering me? Can you stop the entire Zhuquefang? Stop the entire Chang'an City? Or even stop the entire world?"

"return to!"

The man stopped when he heard the words and returned to his original position with a look of unwillingness.

However, Princess Changle walked up to those people. Her beautiful face was full of anger, but she still said kindly: "These young masters, please don't say anything to slander the Holy One."

Those people glanced at Princess Changle, and one of them said casually: "I have a big mouth, am I wrong? Before the coup last year, I wore a big cloak. Since then, I have cut money to compensate the Turks. A meritorious official was assassinated, defeated, and sold to us common people broken things. Now I have a problem eating, you know what! Little lady!!"

The man spoke at a fast pace at first, but later he turned into a stern voice.

An ordinary woman would have been frightened, but Princess Changle remained calm and even sighed: "Your Majesty, he is working hard. He is really... working hard."

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he never dared to relax for a moment. He took care of everything every day and was still dealing with government affairs in the middle of the night."

"He has had a lot more gray hair in the past six months. He is very tired, really tired, but he is still trying his best to improve Datang. He has done... everything a human can do."

The man was slightly startled, and then said angrily: "What you said, did you see it next to him?"

Princess Changle shook her head and said: "I didn't see it, but it can be seen from various policies in the past six months. Please give this young emperor more time."

"Count me in. Please give him some time, just...a little. I believe he can make everyone proud."

Princess Changle bowed to those people.

A princess actually... worshiped several common people!

And this moment.

Although those people did not know the identity of Princess Changle, they were really frightened by this gift and they all became serious.

"Little...little lady, I know, we all know."

The man said seriously.

Princess Changle raised her head and smiled at them: "Thank you."

That smile reflected in the eyes of several people and seemed to reach straight into their hearts. It was so beautiful and natural.

Although the woman in front of her has a noble temperament, she is still so approachable.

Inadvertently, several people couldn't help but blush.

I don't know if they will discuss Li Shimin's quality in the future, but for now, they won't discuss it.

Upon seeing this, Princess Changle bowed to them again to thank them, and then walked back to her seat.

"Changle, why bother."

"They...they are right. After I took office, I brought them nothing but suffering."

Li Shimin laughed at himself.

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Father, the suffering is only temporary. I believe you can satisfy them and everyone."

She believed him.

There is nothing in this world that he cannot do.

This has been the case since childhood.

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt even more ashamed, as if there were countless insects crawling inside his heart, which was heart-breaking.

"Speaking of which, Father, how do you solve the problem in Yan Country? Have you thought of a solution?"

Princess Changle asked.

Everyone knew about the Tang Dynasty's defeat of the Yan Kingdom. As a princess, how could she not know about it?Even know more.

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, we have a preliminary plan."

"What is it?"

"Make a marriage, temporarily establish a friendship, so that we can first stabilize the foreign troubles and deal with the internal troubles."

"And relatives?"

Princess Changle was slightly startled: "Who is it?"

Li Shimin didn't reply to her, but looked at her with mixed feelings in his eyes.

That moment.

Princess Changle was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"I see."

"it's me."

Princess Changle laughed.

There was no crying or fussing, no fear of life or death, and no thoughts of escape.

She always treats everything gently, always like this, always like this...
"Changle, father, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for you."

Li Shimin had tears in his eyes.

Princess Changle smiled and said: "It is enough to use me as a female prostitute to exchange for the short-term peace of the entire Tang Dynasty."

Say so.

But she was trembling in her heart.

He is going to be sent to the Yan Kingdom to marry the unknown king...
In my memory, I heard from my mother that Princess Yicheng was sent to the Turks to marry her, and her life was worse than death. In the end, her consciousness became even more distorted, and she became hating the Han people and wanted to destroy the Han people and kill all the Han people.

When I think of this, my heart can't stop trembling.

She loved the Tang Dynasty and this country very much.

She doesn't want to, she doesn't want to become like Princess Yicheng...
But she didn't know if she would become like that in the future. She was afraid, she was panicked, and she began to panic about that future.

She is only afraid that she will become hostile to Datang in the future.

As for the physical or mental torture that she may suffer, Princess Changle doesn't care. She is only afraid that she will become hostile to the country she once loved so much.

absent-minded.

Over there, Li Shimin was already crying.

He held his head, with an expression that made an emperor as helpless as a child.

"Changle, I don't want to, I don't want to send you there."

"I didn't know that the Yan Kingdom was so powerful, and I didn't know that the Quyuli people were up to something. I thought my own plan was perfect and everything would go according to my plan."

"But the reality is that I, Li Shimin, am nothing. I...I don't want to send you there. I don't want to, I don't want to..."

The more he talked, the more he collapsed. He held his head, his eyes were red, and tears fell as if he wanted no money.

At this moment, he was not the omnipotent King of Qin, nor the strategizing Emperor of Tang, but that... deep in his heart, that helpless and pitiful weak soul that had been killed but was awakened.

"I, I really don't want to. I'm still thinking that when I have some free time, I'll take you, Guanyin, and little Sizi. Our family of four will go out for a walk and see the rivers and mountains, as well as the beautiful mountains. Don.”

"But I, but I...I messed up..."

Li Shimin burst into tears. He was so broken that he wanted to say something, but the next moment, a pair of warm hands hugged his head.

Li Shimin's heart trembled.

"Father, don't cry."

"You taught me when I was a child, tell me, little Changle, if the man we meet in the future cries and cries, let's just leave. Such a person is not worthy of being a man."

"You also said, are there any difficulties and obstacles in the world that you can't overcome? You can overcome them all. If you can't overcome them, you just don't work hard enough."

"Father, you just made a mistake for a moment, but this time I will take care of you. Next time... you must be more cautious."

Princess Changle held Li Shimin's head, her voice was so gentle, so... gentle...
Even if the victim is himself, he will only try to comfort others.

When Li Shimin heard this, his tears couldn't stop falling: "Changle, father...father is sorry for you, sorry for you!"

"This country is sick, and it is very sick now. I want to save it personally, and I want to save it from all aspects. I...I am sorry..."

At noon, he burst into tears.

The crying look made the people around him sneer.

But Princess Changle doesn't think so. She knows that her father will always be so shining and will always be the protective umbrella of so many people.

Now he is just confused for a moment, confused for a moment, that's all...
He will come out, he will.

Princess Changle firmly believed it.

Just as so many people believe in King Chu, follow King Chu, and are willing to sacrifice everything for King Chu, even their lives.

The same goes for her father.

She believed in him, the Queen Mother Xiaosi believed in him, the Prince of Qin's Palace believed in him, all the Jinwu Guards believed in him, and the army of the Sixteenth Guards believed in him...
He also has so many people who believe in him. They believe that their Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will lead them to a bright and prosperous road.

only….
Princess Changle thought that she might not be able to see this avenue.

While comforting Li Shimin, a picture appeared in front of Princess Changle.

in the screen.

The broad road leads directly to that paradise, but at the next moment, this road is disconnected, and a new road is formed, heading to Yan Country, the dark Yan Country, a road to hell full of darkness.

Princess Changle looked at this picture. She was willing to embark on this road of no return for her father...
finally.

Li Shimin stopped crying when he was tired from crying.

After such an incident happened, Princess Changle didn't care about eating and took her father back to the palace.

On the road.

in the carriage.

Li Shimin, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, looked at Princess Changle carefully: "Changle, let me see, you seem to have grown up a lot."

Princess Changle stood up and said with a smile: "Father, you have to look at it more. Maybe you won't have to look at it anymore."

She was still so gentle and told hellish jokes.

Li Shimin couldn't help but cry and laugh, and didn't answer. He just looked at his daughter, whom he hadn't looked at seriously for a long time, quietly.

She seems to have grown up.

Slim.

Dignified and elegant.

After a long while, Li Shimin said seriously: "Chang Le, I will destroy the Yan Kingdom and bring you back."

Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and said: "Father, come back after you have settled the issue of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Changle will not see you."

Li Shimin, with red eyes, smiled seriously: "Yes, my father will do it."

Most definitely….
Take you back….
He added in his mind.

Only you know.

………………………….
Back to the palace.

Princess Changle sent Li Shimin back to his palace and watched Li Shimin sleep with her own eyes before leaving.

On the road.

Full of staggering.

Although she was so calm and indifferent when facing her father, she was going to the Demon Cave after all.

To... completely leave this beloved land.

"Yanguo, I hope I won't become like Princess Yicheng."

Princess Changle smiled bitterly and reminded herself again.

She was afraid, she was afraid that she would become hostile to this land.

Scared more than anything else!
"Ah, sister!!"

At this moment, a slightly naughty and innocent voice sounded, it was Xiao Sizi's voice.

It turned out that she had arrived at Xiao Sizi's palace without knowing it.

Princess Changle was originally going to come here. After all, she didn't know how much time she would have left in Datang. She wanted to spend more time with her closest family members.

It's just that this section of the road seems a little short...
In fact, Li Shimin's dormitory is very far away from Xiao Sizi's dormitory. It takes a quarter of an hour [15 minutes] to walk. Princess Changle also complained about how far it was before.

But today, she felt that it was so short.

She seemed to want time to stop on this day forever.

"Little sister, I'm here to play with you."

Seeing Xiao Sizi running towards him, Princess Changle calmed down her complicated emotions and stepped forward to hug Xiao Sizi.

"Hehe, sister, why are you free to come here today? It's already late! Sizi is going to bed!"

The little Sizi makes a milky sound.

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Sister, I will sleep with you today, and we two sisters will sleep together."

When Xiao Sizi heard this, his little eyes suddenly flashed: "Wow, is it true? Sister didn't lie to Sizi?"

"Huh! If you lie, you need to treat me to something to eat!"

Princess Changle smiled and said: "No, little Sizi, I will sleep with you today. No one can take me away. Come on, I will carry you in."

"Hee hee, good!!"

Little Sizi lay in Princess Changle's arms with great satisfaction. She felt that this embrace was so warm, and it had always been.

"Sister, when do you think my second brother will come back?"

On the way, Xiao Sizi couldn't help but ask.

The people in the palace were all silent once she mentioned the issue of her second brother.

Sister A is the same, but she still wants to ask today.

Ask every day.

Princess Changle thought for a while and said, "It should be good, right? After all, the second brother is the patron saint of our little Sizi. The patron saint is very powerful everywhere."

When Xiao Sizi heard this, he was stunned.

"What's wrong? Little Sizi."

"Wow, sister, you actually answered Brother Sizi's question. Then...is this true?"

Princess Changle nodded seriously and said, "Yes, really."

She hoped it was true.

I also hope that it will be the same after I arrive in Yan Country.

If you can continue, live your life...
Entering Xiao Sizi's palace, Princess Changle couldn't help but carefully look at the place she had designed.

She wanted to watch carefully. She was afraid that after tonight, she would never have the chance to see it again.

"Sister, what's going on with you today? Why are you looking at the wall in a daze? Are you worried about something?"

Xiao Sizi seemed to see something was wrong.

Princess Changle quickly looked away and said with a smile: "It's okay, Sister, it's okay."

"Okay, okay, it's time for our little Sizi to go to sleep."

She spread the quilt for Xiao Sizi, and then got into bed with Xiao Sizi.

The bed was warm.

I don’t know if the quilt under the desert weather in Yan Kingdom is as warm as that of the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Changle couldn't help but think so.

"Hehe, sister, it's so warm!"

Xiao Sizi smiled sweetly.

Princess Changle also smiled sweetly: "Yes, that's right."

"Hey, sister, what is this shiny thing?"

Xiao Sizi suddenly noticed the chain hanging on Princess Changle's chest.

Princess Changle glanced at it and her eyes softened: "This is specially made by our mother for our sister. It is very precious."

"Ah? Why didn't I? Oooh, my mother is partial!"

"Pfft! In other words, the queen mother just thinks that you are not old enough. It is not good for a child to bring gold."

"Damn it, sister! Sizi is angry. Sizi is obviously not a child. My second brother said before that Sizi belongs to an adult. You are the only one who thinks that Sizi is a child!!"

Xiao Sizi puffed his face angrily.

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Okay, okay, our little Sizi is an adult, it was my sister who was wrong."

"Then, as an apology, how about telling you the story of our mother and queen?"

She was about to leave the Tang Dynasty, and she was afraid that the little Sizi would torment the queen too much and make the queen's already poor body exhausted, so she wanted the little one to hear the story of the queen in her eyes, so that she would be more sensible and less troublesome.

"If you want to listen, you must listen, Si Zi must listen."

Xiao Sizi's small eyes are blazing, as bright as stars.

Princess Changle smiled and said, "Sister, let's talk now."

She took off the gold hanging chain, and the moment she looked at it, her eyes became gentle, and the memories of her "home" in the past poured out like a dam.

"I remember that time. When I was just sensible, I was not used to sleeping with my mother."

"Sometimes I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and find that there is a person so close to me, so close to me, with that big hand wrapped around my hand. From then on, I can't turn over freely, nor can I snore to my heart's content, because I will be A gentle hand pinched my mouth, and finally I woke up..."

"After a few years, I got used to having my mother next to me when sleeping. But at that time, the war was in chaos and my mother had too many things to do. She was very tired, and sometimes I could only sleep by myself. Once I slept by myself, I would be half asleep at night and hear my own snoring. I made a snoring sound, wondering why there wasn't that warm hand to wake me up, I turned around and asked, my hand got used to putting it aside, groping around, only to find a large area of ​​coldness, and my mood suddenly became empty."

"Later, one of our mother's relatives, one of our aunts, suffered from an incurable disease. She persisted for several months and then passed away."

"One night, I woke up in the middle of the night. My mother was next to me, with her back to me. She, who was always strong, turned her head and sobbed silently."

"It was the first time I saw such a helpless mother, so I hugged her, and my little hands tried hard to hold her in my arms. She also curled up in my arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. That night, for the first time, I Hug the Queen tightly."

"Later, during a verbal dispute, I was accidentally injured by Li Tai, and my hand was scratched by his heavy sharp weapon, which was dripping with blood. The queen mother's eyes turned red and she yelled at your third brother Li Tai. I was also the third brother. Once, I would be so excited when I see my mother who is introverted."

"Later, little Sizi, you were born. You grew up so well and liked to run around too much. My mother, who was already feeling unwell, was tired of dealing with it. When she held you, she sprained her waist. She insisted. He sat upright on the ground and held you tightly with his hands."

"As a result, my waist was sprained. The doctor said that my mother had been injured for a hundred days. She was paralyzed in bed for more than ten days and could hardly sit up."

"I went out of my way to stay with my mother for dozens of days. I fed her and helped her prepare medicine. I also took you, a little fool, to play and coax you to sleep. During those days, I was really busy."
