Princess Gaoyang wore a lotus-colored narrow-sleeved Hu dress, with green silk on her head tied into a simple and neat high ponytail, revealing her beautiful white neck. A jade belt was tied around her waist, and she wore a pair of soft deerskin boots. , with picturesque eyebrows and sparkling eyes, like a handsome young man...
Although the battle was raging outside the palace, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty was obviously not timid or disturbed. Ever since it was reported that Fang Jun majesticly defeated the left guard outside the Xuanwu Gate, she felt happy and relaxed.
My husband leads the troops outside and is invincible in battles. There is a secret passage in the palace that can escape at any time, so what is there to worry about?
Moreover, based on her understanding of her husband, since she dared to take such a risk to lure the rebels to Beijing, she was naturally confident of victory...
Queen Su stood up, looked at Princess Gaoyang up and down, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really beautiful in this outfit. If outsiders saw it, they would think that Yunying is unmarried and waiting in the boudoir. Who would dare to believe that she has given birth to Lin'er and is married to a human being?" woman?"
Princess Gao Yang took two steps forward to face Su. She stretched out a green-white finger to lift Su's pointed chin frivolously. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed Su's fragrance, and said teasingly: "Did the little lady fall in love with me? Come on, let me enjoy my life."
As he said that, he reached out and touched Su's face, but Su knocked his hand away angrily and said angrily: "How old are you to be so naughty?"
Princess Changle on the side was also amused by Princess Gaoyang, and her worries were reduced. She smiled and said: "The Duke of Yue has won consecutive battles outside the palace and is a mainstay. No wonder my sister is in such a good mood."
Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes and walked to Princess Changle's side. She stretched out her arms like a man and put her arms around Princess Changle's shoulders. She said proudly: "I am a young hero and the pillar of the country. I have made great achievements and have been protected by heaven. I will help your majesty." After the rebellion is put down, rewards will be given based on merit. The beauty that I coveted in the past may be able to marry into the palace and get what she wants. How can I not be happy for you? Ha, I am very happy!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you stinky girl..."
Princess Changle's fair and pretty face was covered with red clouds. She was so embarrassed that she pushed Princess Gaoyang angrily.
Princess Gao Yang was pushed and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, how dare you be rude to me? Hum, when one day you fall into my hands, you will beg for mercy!"
Seeing Princess Changle's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, Su Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "Your Highness, this is enough. How can you bully others like this? Your Highness Changle is your sister after all, so don't be rude."
How could she not hear Princess Gaoyang's teasing?
Princess Gao Yang raised her snow-white pointed chin and said with some annoyance: "In the future, we may not know who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister!"
Princess Changle's pretty face was almost bleeding. She stood up in a panic, covered her face with her delicate hands, and walked out with lotus steps...
When Princess Changle's graceful figure disappeared outside the door, Queen Su glared at Princess Gaoyang and asked, "What do you think?"
Princess Gaoyang stood up and poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and hummed: "What do you mean, what do I think? They both have done everything they should and shouldn't do, and they are very affectionate and righteous if they don't divorce me. How dare I have any ideas?"
Of course, Xiu would not divorce. Even if she objected strongly, Changle would not be able to enter Fang's house no matter what. She still had confidence in this.
Not only because of Fang Jun's respect for her, even if Fang Jun was obsessed with things, as long as she went to Fang Xuanling and cried in front of her, Fang Xuanling would support her.
Do you really think that she gave birth to the Fang family’s eldest grandson for nothing?
She didn't mind Changle entering Fang's house, but what mattered was Fang Jun's affection for Changle. I remember that when she married into the Fang family, the man denied and shied away in every possible way, and even tried to slander himself and try to get his father to take back his life and renege on the engagement. In the end, although the couple was harmonious, most of them were testing each other after the fact was settled... …
Why am I the wife of a wretched man, and she is the concubine of a lover?
Seeing that she was pouting and looking aggrieved, Queen Su couldn't help but laugh: "What a bad fate... But let me tell you, you don't have to be like this. After all, she is your sister, so she is better than outsiders, right? Sisters working together can cut through gold. It is said that after Erlang has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, His Majesty will definitely give him a large reward. The beautiful palace lady is indispensable. When the time comes, you can't rely on Mei Niang to help you stabilize the inner house, right? "
Princess Gaoyang couldn't help but have a headache, and she was an uneasy master...
Su said softly: "If Chang Le is in charge of the inner house with you, you sisters don't need to do anything. You can delegate power to Mei Niang. Who can shake your position?"
A Gaoyang may be alone, but with the addition of Changle, the Fang family's inner house will definitely be secure.
So what if Mei Niang controls more power?
Princess Gao Yang sighed and said, "Looking at what you said, I'm not against her marrying into the Fang family, I'm just a little angry."
Mrs. Su understood Princess Gaoyang's mood and comforted her: "Looking at the world, which young talent with great merits and both civil and military talents like Erlang is not arrogant, domineering and unruly? It's rare that Erlang has always been consistent with you. Don't do it." You messed it up yourself.”
She has a very good impression of Fang Jun.
In such an era where men are superior to women, Fang Jun can respect his wife as a guest, trust and protect his concubines, and entrust him with important responsibilities. He is unique and unique, and he is definitely the husband of every woman's dream.
He is also handsome and talented, and he has achieved great achievements and high status at a young age. I don’t know how many young ladies think about it day and night, wishing they could recommend themselves to the pillow, even if it is just for a moment...
】
Thinking of this, Qiao blushed for no reason.
Princess Gao Yang nodded, exhaled, and nodded: "Don't worry, Queen, I know how to do it."
Su Shi held Princess Gaoyang's hand and sighed, with worry on her pretty face: "These are all things for later. Whether we can survive the current disaster is still unknown. If we can't stop the rebels, maybe we can." Don’t worry about these things.”
Princess Gaoyang was quite confident about this: "Queen, don't worry, Erlang is the most prudent in his actions. Since he has set such a strategy with Your Majesty, he must be fully confident, otherwise he would definitely not act like this. You have also heard the previous report, since Defeating the enemy with artillery means that the number of firearms in Youtun Guard far exceeds what outsiders had guessed, and this may be Erlang's confidence."
Su Shi obviously also trusted Fang Jun very much. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. His Majesty is not a frivolous and reckless person. There is no reason to take risks when the two of them come together to formulate such a strategy."
Just as he was talking, a palace maid suddenly trotted in from outside, panting, her face full of surprise: "Queen, just now a scout went to Wude Hall to report that Duke Yue had led his army to capture Xuanwu Gate and was entering the palace. Inside……"
"ah!"
Queen Su exclaimed with uncontrollable ecstasy on her pretty face. She held her towering chest with one hand and blurted out: "Is this really so? I know that Duke Yue is a hero of the world. As long as he is here, I don't need to worry. "
Princess Gaoyang: "..."
She glanced suspiciously at the queen, who had a happy face and beautiful eyes. She always felt that the queen's joy seemed to be mixed with something else...
*****
Fang Jun stood on the north side of the camp with his hands folded, watching his soldiers climb up to the top of the Xuanwu Gate like ants, and then opened the heavy gate from inside the city, and countless soldiers poured in.
Scouts kept coming to report the movements in Tai Chi Palace, and all kinds of information came together.
"This time King Jin is desperate and fighting a last-ditch battle. He personally leads the army to try to resist the siege of the three armies to ensure that Yu Chigong breaks through Mingde Gate. I don't know whether Mingde Gate can be defended or whether the three armies can break the city before it. Defeat it.”
Gao Kan was a little worried.
Once Yuchi Gong captures Mingde Gate, the King of Jin can lead his army into Chang'an City. Not only can the siege of the three armies be relieved, but they can also attack Chengtian Gate and Li Daozong to surround Taiji Palace from the north and south. Your Majesty can no longer admit it. Tianmen withdrew from the city to meet with Li Jing, and could only escape from the city through a secret passage.
Taiji Palace fell into the hands of King Jin, which to some extent means that the center of imperial power has changed hands. King Jin can ascend the throne in Taiji Palace and announce it to the world. By then, there will be countless people who cling to power and power, and their strength will increase greatly. .
Fang Jun was sober and knew that no matter how worried he was, he could not stop Yuchi Gong from attacking Mingde Gate: "Mingde Gate has insufficient troops and limited defense. How can it withstand Yuchi Gong's fierce attack like a wolf and a tiger? Chunming Gate Although the Duke of Wei outside is in charge of tens of thousands of troops, he does not dare to act rashly, and it is difficult to mobilize troops for reinforcements. As long as the King of Jin can hold off the three armies for a few hours, Wei Chigong will definitely break the city."
Li Jing was in charge of tens of thousands of troops in the East Palace and was stationed outside the Chunming Gate. They seemed to have strong troops, but in fact their most important role was to intimidate the rest of the Guanzhong garrison and they did not dare to take any action at all. Once the troops are entangled, no one can guarantee that the Guanzhong garrison will not swarm over.
Otherwise, why would he sit back and watch Li Daozong rush into Taiji Palace and attack Wude Palace and remain indifferent?
Looking at Gao Kan, he said calmly: "The only ones who can really decide the outcome of this battle are our Youtun Guards. You personally lead the troops into Xuanwu Gate and tell the soldiers under your command. It depends on whether you can protect the sky and quell the rebellion this time. Can they regard death as home and move forward indomitably? If they win, everyone will be generously rewarded and promoted to high positions. The left and right guards will be reorganized into the Jinwu Guard, and everyone will flourish and be granted wives and children. If they lose, there will be no right guards from now on. , the future of the entire army will be ruined, and even the family will suffer, leaving everyone to take care of themselves."
Gao Kan felt awe in his heart, and understood that this was a warning to the lieutenant general in the army to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death, and not to hesitate in half-hearted ways. After all, Li Daliang's previous rebellion, I wonder if there are still people who have not been exposed...
"Here! Don't worry, Commander. If we can't defeat Li Daozong and wipe out the rebels, we will come to see you!"
