Chapter 165 Wanchun Secret Report (asking for a monthly ticket)

Chapter 173

After Chisong Dezan left, Shi Zhouxuchu, the chief of the general's residence, flashed out from one side and stood silently by his side.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Zhou Changshi, do you have something to say?"

"General, I heard that the Tubo prince has been giving gifts to the court and dignitaries in Beijing these days, and has repeatedly mentioned the matter of marriage. From my point of view, once Yang Guozhong and the ministers come to the table, His Royal Highness may not be opposed to."

Zhou Xuchu said softly, in fact, he originally wanted to say, "If the prince of Tubo wants to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, he can marry it. What's the big deal. It's not the first time that the princess of the Tang Dynasty has married Tubo. peace, why not do it?"

But Zhang Xuan clearly expressed his opposition to the marriage, so how dare he speak out.

Zhang Xuan was silent for a long time before he said calmly, "Zhou Changshi, making a marriage is harmful to the country. Besides, making a marriage is of little value. Sacrificing a princess of the Tang Dynasty is useless, and it is meaningless to damage my Tang Dynasty's vigor. That's why I object to making a marriage. .”

Zhou Xuchu wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Xuan glanced at him, he was too lazy to debate this kind of issue with Zhou Xuchu, because they couldn't communicate because of their different values.

At this time, Zhang Li hurried over to report, "General, His Highness Wan Chun is here!"

Zhang Xuan frowned, but immediately went to the gate.

Is it because Chisong Dezan has taken a fancy to Princess Wanchun that the general rejects marriage so much?Could it be... Zhou Xuchu was startled, looking at Zhang Xuan's back, a playful smile gradually appeared on his face.

Zhou Xuchu's mind was spinning, thinking he had figured out the "joints" in it.If Zhang Xuan knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely be kicked away.

Zhang Xuan walked to the gate of the mansion, and saw Princess Wanchun standing in front of the mansion, jumping and yelling, directing a group of dancing girls and musicians to carry various musical instruments into the mansion. Seeing Zhang Xuan, he giggled Jumping up and down the steps.

"Zhang Xuan, I arranged your two songs at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference into dance music. I let them play and dance for a while. Come and see, if you are satisfied, please give me some advice."

Wan Chun said happily, his deep eyes were clear.

Looking at the innocent, lively and outgoing princess in front of him, Zhang Xuan let out a long breath, and said softly, "His Royal Highness Wanchun, I still have military and state affairs to take care of. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you on this matter of dancing and music." gone."

Wan Chun immediately stopped cooking, pouted his lips in disappointment, and then grabbed Zhang Xuan's skirt and begged, "Good man, can I only delay your time for half an hour? Half an hour... soon !"

Wan Chun's flamboyant face came closer, full of anticipation.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Zhang Xuan coughed twice, quickly pulled Wan Chun away, and took two steps back.

"Your Highness Wanchun, I heard that the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan is going to propose to the court, asking the court to marry His Highness Wanchun to him... to complete the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. The official is about to enter the palace..." Zhang Xuan's words continued Before he could finish speaking, Wan Chun screamed, jumped up and said angrily, "Zhang Xuan, are you serious? Did you lie to me?"

"How dare you lie to His Royal Highness Wanchun?" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

Wan Chun's complexion suddenly changed, and he stayed on the spot in a daze.

After a while, she suddenly turned around and jumped down the steps, hurried into the car, shouted loudly and went back to the palace.

……

……

On the second day, Princess Wanchun led people out of the palace and went straight to the post where the Tubo envoys were.She, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, rushed into the posthouse, went to the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan, and reprimanded her face to face, just to show her determination that she would never marry Tubo. Eat swan meat, and so on.

But like this, Wan Chun was still worried, so he went back to the palace to find Yang Yuhuan, talked to her, and begged Yang Yuhuan to help her push her up.Once the court discusses the matter of marriage, once the prince Li Heng threatens her to marry, ask Yang Yuhuan to protect her.

Wan Chun and Yang Yuhuan have been in a good relationship for more than ten years, have similar personalities, and often arrange dance music together.

Looking at Wan Chun's worried look, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Wan Chun, why are you so anxious to get angry? Don't say that the court has not really agreed to the marriage, even if the court finally decides to marry Tubo, It's not necessary to marry you out either."

"You are His Majesty's biological princess today. According to the usual practice, it is the rule of marriage to enshrine the princess of the clan to marry the princess. Why should you worry too much?"

Wan Chun thought about it for a while, and then he let out a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, Wan Chun doesn't want to marry into a wild place like Tubo, if that happens, Wan Chun would rather die than follow!"

"You girl, before this palace advised you to quickly choose someone to marry, but unfortunately you always refused. Now that you are getting older, it is not a good idea to stay in the palace all the time. This palace looks at Yang Guozhong's son Yang Yan It's your good match, why don't I come forward and talk about it for you, so that His Majesty will marry you?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled authentically.

Wan Chun's pretty face flushed, and she waved her hands in a panic, "Your Majesty, you can't do it, Wan Chun won't marry, Wan Chun won't marry!..."

"Is there any reason for the daughter's family not to marry?"

"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a man with a heart... If there is no one he likes, Wan Chun would rather follow the example of Emperor Yuzhen, become a Taoist nun, and never marry for life." Wan Chun murmured with his head swaying.

Yang Yuhuan was startled, looked at Wan Chun deeply, and said hesitantly, "Wan Chun, is it possible that you already have someone in your heart? Tell me and listen to me, I will definitely make the decision for you!"

Wan Chun had a pretty face, and shook his head, "No, Madam, don't guess! Madam, Wan Chun is tired and wants to go back to the palace to rest."

After finishing speaking, Wan Chun walked away.

Only Yang Yuhuan was left standing lightly at the entrance of the hall, silently watching her leaving in a hurry, lost in thought.

Wan Chun left Yang Yuhuan's bedroom and walked towards his own palace.

When passing by the Imperial Study Room in Xingqing Palace, Wan Chun twitched his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Changing the road, go to the Imperial Study Room, I'm going to see my father."

Wan Chun's car stopped outside the door of the imperial study, Wan Chun didn't wait for the maid to help, he jumped out of the car and looked towards the door.

Seeing the guard of honor of the Prince's East Palace parked at the side of the door, Wan Chun was surprised: The prince's elder brother rarely comes to see his father, why did he come here today?Could it be that the Tubo prince asked for peace, and the prince brother came to report to the father?It shouldn't be, the father is unconscious and can't speak, the prince's brother came here for nothing.

Wan Chun thought about it and went into the imperial study.

The two young eunuchs guarding the gate did not dare to stop them, knowing that Li Fuguo was inside, they let Wan Chun in.

But Wan Chun entered the outer room, but didn't find Li Fuguo's figure. He continued to walk in, but saw Li Fuguo lying on the door of the inner room with a mysterious expression, as if he was listening carefully.

Wan Chun frowned, walked over on tiptoe, reached out and gently tugged at Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo was concentrating on listening to the movement inside, when he suddenly noticed someone approaching, he opened his mouth to exclaim, but suddenly covered his mouth.

Wan Chun looked at him coldly, the corners of Li Fuguo's mouth twitched in embarrassment, but he didn't dare to make any movement.

As an internal eunuch, he had already committed a capital crime by eavesdropping on the movements of the prince and the emperor.If Wan Chun made a fuss, he might not escape death.

Wan Chun frowned and put his ears close.

After all, she was very curious, and felt that Li Fuguo was eavesdropping, so there must be secrets inside.

The extremely low and depressed voice of Prince Li Heng came from inside, "I understand what my father means. If my son is right, my father will nod, and if I am not right, I will shake my head."

"Father agrees to give up the throne to the ministers, but must the ministers get rid of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong?"

It was silent for a while.

Wan Chun's face changed suddenly, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

At this time, Li Heng sighed helplessly, "Father, I really don't understand why my father must kill Zhang Xuan to be reconciled... Now my son relies heavily on Zhang Xuan to control the court situation. Wouldn't it mean breaking your own arm if you start?"

"Father is making things difficult for his son..."

"My son..."

The words that followed became so blurred that it was difficult to hear them clearly.

Wan Chun secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then retreated slowly with a pale expression, then hurried out of the imperial study and got into his own car.

……

……

The night is low and the spring breeze is blowing.

Although the Shangyuan Festival has just passed, there is already a trace of warmth in the spring breeze, and it is no longer as cold as before the Shangyuan Festival.

Wan Chun stood silently in his palace garden, looking up at the sky filled with stars, his pretty face was pale.

Her father and the prince's elder brother actually conspired to get rid of the general Zhang Xuan. The news shocked her too much, and it was beyond her ability to bear it.

Her heart is relatively simple and innocent, and it is difficult to understand the twists and turns.

She only knew that Zhang Xuan was an important minister and hero who supported Li Heng's succession to the throne. The prince has always relied on and trusted him, so why would he suddenly...

She couldn't figure it out, and couldn't accept it.

Zhang Xuan's clear and handsome face appeared in front of her, and the confusion in her eyes became more and more intense.

She was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

As a royal princess, her own position told her that no matter what the father and the prince's elder brother did, they would be impeccable; but when she thought of Zhang Xuan's death, her heart felt endless pain.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind.She turned her head to look at Xiao Cui, the confidant maid standing behind her, and said softly, "Xiao Cui, help me change my clothes, I have to go out of the palace."

Not long after, the court lady Xiaocui led a eunuch and drove a carriage out of the palace before the palace ban, and galloped in the night, heading straight for the general's mansion.

Zhang Xuan was flirting with Ruyan and Ruyu in the study, he didn't have any entertainment at night, the only entertainment was to occasionally tease these two ignorant little girls.

Zhang Li stood outside the door of the study, listening to the crisp laughter inside like smoke and jade, although he hesitated for a moment, he still knocked on the door lightly and reported, "General, there is someone in the Palace of Wanchun asking to see you!"
