Chapter 4336 Where did Fang Jun go?
Even though Princess Jinyang has never seen anything like this, she still understands what this small porcelain bottle contains from the reactions of the maids and chambermaids around her...
She was a little frightened, holding Queen Su's hand tightly, and said urgently: "How can sister-in-law be so confused? Put this thing down quickly, it is not a joke!"
Protected and doted on by her father and brother since childhood, she has never faced the test of life and death. Even in the current war for the throne, she has always stayed out of it, because whether Li Chengqian consolidates the throne or the King of Jin rebels and seizes the throne, her status is There will be no change at all, the emperor is still her brother.
But now, as the queen of a country, Su carries a bottle of poison with her, which makes her feel the cruelty of the current situation. Her relatives will be threatened with death at any time...
Queen Su didn't listen to her words, she put the porcelain vase into her arms, stretched out her arms to wrap around Princess Jinyang's thin shoulders, her smile was gentle and dignified, and her expression was as calm as water: "Silly boy, I am the Queen of the Tang Dynasty, the Lord of the Sixth Palace. , Mother honors the world, Wanwan cannot withstand even the slightest insult, otherwise not only will Your Majesty be in disgrace Without a chance to survive, Li Tang's country will be tainted, and we must fight tooth and nail to keep our innocence at the critical moment. But the situation is unclear now, and your Majesty has made arrangements in advance, and he will definitely be able to defeat the rebels. I am just making preparations just in case. , where is the need to make such a fuss?”
The maids and chamberlains who were kneeling on the ground cried out in tears, but the queen of a country had to face the tragedy of dying to express her ambition, and she humiliated her subjects to death...
Princess Jinyang had a firm expression on her delicate little face: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, from now on I will never leave you. Even if Ninth Brother breaks into the palace, no one will dare to disrespect you!"
She believed that with Brother Jiu's love for her, no one would dare to touch her hair.
Queen Su touched Princess Jinyang's temples lovingly and said with a smile: "With Your Highness protecting me, naturally no one can hurt me. My sister-in-law thanks me in advance."
Although the little girl is smart, she has not seen the dangers of the world. When the rebel army attacks, even Jin Wang Li Zhi may not be able to restrain her, let alone a mere princess? But she could already feel the warmth in this heart.
The Tian Family is the most ruthless imperial family. In the history books, there are many cases of civil strife between father and son, and fratricide. It is extremely rare to have a princess like Princess Jinyang who cares about her family and dares to stand up in a cruel situation.
The aunt and sister-in-law walked into the palace intimately. As soon as they sat down, they saw Wang De walking in quickly, saying that Princess Changle had arrived...
The two then stood up and went to the door together, welcoming Princess Changle, who was dressed in Taoist robes, into the palace, and sat down again. Seeing Princess Jinyang's worried look, Princess Changle frowned and asked what happened. Queen Su couldn't stop her, and Princess Jinyang had already quickly arrived. She revealed that she had hidden poison in case of emergency.
Princess Changle raised her head gracefully and said in a clear voice: "The Queen is the mother of a country, and she honors the world. How can she be subjected to such a crisis? Your Majesty has already made full preparations. There are countless people with lofty ideals inside and outside the palace who have risked their lives to defend the orthodoxy of the imperial power and have gone through fire and water. , since ancient times, if evil does not suppress good, it is impossible for rebels to succeed in their rebellion. ”
Queen Su's eyes flashed, and her nervous mind relaxed slightly.
She had no idea what kind of preparations the emperor had made against the rebels, so the unstoppable trend of the rebels entering the palace at this moment made her frightened and panicked, and she had to prepare poison to avoid humiliation in the event of defeat.
However, there is an ambiguity between Changle and Fang Jun, and Fang Jun is His Majesty’s most trusted minister, so any preparation must go through Fang Jun’s hands, so Fang Jun may mention His Majesty’s arrangements to Chang Le...
She asked Princess Changle: "Did Duke Yue tell His Highness how to prepare to resist the rebels?"
Princess Changle's pretty face was slightly red, but she didn't hesitate at all. She shook her head and said, "How could he leak such a major military matter to me? But when he left last night, he told me to go to Wude Hall to take shelter immediately if something happened. It is said that His Majesty has made preparations in advance and everything will be perfect.”
Hearing "when we left last night", even though the rebels were approaching a critical situation at this time, the queen and Jinyang looked at Changle at the same time, one with a look full of teasing and ambiguity, and the other with confusion.
Even the tips of Princess Changle's ears were red, her eyes were wandering and evasive, and she was extremely embarrassed.
The queen didn't want Changle to be too embarrassed, and nodded: "Since Duke Yue said this, it must be safe. Where Taiji Palace is being built, Wude Hall is an extremely important palace besides Taiji Hall, adjacent to the East Palace. , the nearby palace complex is self-contained, Shenlongmen, Rihua Once the gates such as the Gate, Xianchun Gate, Qianhua Gate, and Wude Gate are closed, they can become a heavily defended area. They will definitely be able to fight the rebels to the death. As long as the rebels are held back, the Wei Gong outside the city will definitely lead his troops into the city. It is reasonable to support and defeat the rebels.”
She wanted to change the topic, but Princess Jinyang asked further: "My sister said that my brother-in-law 'left last night.' Could it be that my brother-in-law stayed in my sister's palace last night? If so, my sister should have called me. I haven't seen him for a long time." It’s time for my brother-in-law.”
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became silent. Princess Changle seemed to have been cooked. Her face was red, her ears were red and her whole body was hot. She was ashamed and angry. She shouted: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
It would be fine if Fang Jun stayed overnight in her palace, but he also wants to invite you to come with him?
Do sisters serve the same husband together?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Queen Su was also dumbfounded. She lightly slapped the back of Jinyang's hand and said angrily: "Although there are no outsiders here, you still have to be careful when speaking."
Nowadays, rumors of Fang Jun's affair with the two princesses Changle and Jinyang are widely circulated inside and outside the palace. Moreover, among the dozen brothers-in-law in Jinyang, it is not new that Fang Jun is the only one who is affectionate to Fang Jun. The young girl has a secret affection for the mature man. It was very normal, so the queen felt that she said that on purpose to express her sister's dissatisfaction with her competing for "toys"...
Princess Jinyang realized later that she had said the wrong thing. She shook her two little white hands crazily, her face was red, and she hurriedly defended: "I, I, I didn't mean that, I just haven't seen you for a long time." My brother-in-law misses me a little and wants to be with my sister... Oh!”
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was always very sharp-tongued, covered her face with her hands. She felt that her words did not convey her meaning and the words she spoke were getting worse and worse, so she simply covered her face and stopped talking.
The queen felt funny and glanced at Changle, feeling worried again.
It is a beautiful thing for a girl to be pregnant. Who has not been young and fallen in love with her? But when several sisters fall in love with the same man who is destined not to stay together for a long time, it may be the beginning of a lifetime of misery.
The queen bit her snow-white teeth secretly, and secretly cursed Fang Jun in her heart for being a philandering, philanthropic, and sentimental guy. What was especially outrageous was that he singled out princesses for his attacks. It was really abominable...
*****
The war in Taiji Palace was in full swing and extremely tragic.
The "Yuan Cong Forbidden Army" that had been guarding the Xuanwu Gate since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and later His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, divided the "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" who followed him to conquer the world into three parts, and one part, together with the elite left and right guards, formed the "Hundred "Qi Si", some of them are still with them as guards, and some are incorporated into the "Bei Ya Forbidden Army" to guard Xuanwu Gate. No matter which army has the best combat power in the world.
Also because the troops guarding Xuanwu Gate were loyal and flawless to the Li Tang royal family, Li Daozong could win everyone over under the banner of "fulfilling Emperor Taizong's will". This was not only because of Li Daozong's own prestige, but also because of Almost all the troops guarding Xuanwumen complained about Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne.
This is the serious consequence of His Majesty Li Er's repeated attempts to save money...
In political struggles, every act that breaks the bottom line may be rewarded accordingly at the time, but it will leave almost endless consequences.
This was the case with the "Xuanwumen Incident" that year, and it was also the case with many promotions of Yi Chu...
More than 10,000 Xuanwumen defenders easily broke through the inner gate and entered the Taiji Palace. They had an absolute advantage over the palace defenders in terms of combat strength and number of troops. Even with Cheng Wuting leading 5,000 elite Youtun guards to assist in the defense, it was still difficult. To resist the stormy wave-like offensive of the rebels, they had to retreat to the front line of Ganlu Hall and Shenlong Hall, relying on the huge building complex to build a defense line, and fight to the death.
But it was this line of defense that could withstand the rebels' rapid offensive.
Even though Li Daozong took command and mobilized all the troops to concentrate their forces locally to form an advantage and launch an assault, which caused the defenders to lose sight of one thing and suffer heavy casualties, making the defense line in danger, but under the desperate struggle of the defenders, it was still difficult to break through this line of defense for a moment. .
Although he had not been to the front line in person, he heard from the battle report that this line of defense relied entirely on Cheng Wuting's bloody battles to keep it intact. Yu Wenshi praised: "This boy has the style of his father, and he can still be able to do so despite such a disadvantage." He works hard and is a general. It seems that everyone under Fang Er is a talented person. At first, they were unknown, but after training for a while, they all became able to stand on their own. This vision is really powerful. ",
Li Daozong nodded, deeply convinced of this.
Today, generals such as Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xi Junmai, etc. who once served under Fang Jun have grown into independent generals in the army and are among the best among the younger generation in the army.
One or two may be due to luck, but with so many talents emerging, one has to admire Fang Jun's vision for recognizing and employing people, and his ability to cultivate talents.
These people alone only need ten years of hard work to form their own line and support Fang Jun to become the number one boss of the Tang Dynasty military. By then, Zhenguan's ministers have already fallen one after another. Looking at the army, who else can compete with Fang Jun?
Not to mention, no matter whether Li Chengqian secures the throne or Li Zhi succeeds in his counterattack, the empire's strategy will focus more on internal affairs for a long time in the future. There will be no wars on the frontiers. The only force that continues to attack cities and plunder territory to gain military glory is the navy...
Li Daozong suddenly thought of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked the soldiers on his left and right: "Do you know where Fang Jun is?"
The soldiers on the left and right were at a loss, and a school captain said: "From the beginning to the end, all the battle reports have never mentioned Fang Jun."
Yu Wenshiji felt deep uneasiness in his heart: "Fang Jun was ordered by the emperor to guard Xuande Gate, and Cheng Wu Ting's five thousand soldiers were all obeying his orders. Now Cheng Wu Ting and his soldiers are fighting bloody battles, how can Fang Jun abandon them? Something is wrong. , and quickly sent orders to all departments ahead to closely investigate Fang Jun’s movements.”
Now on the local battlefield of the Ganlu Palace defense line, it can be said that it is a battle between Li Daozong and Fang Jun. However, after playing for a long time, the opponent's coach is missing. How can this make people feel at ease?
The two of them looked at each other, a haze rising in their hearts. (End of chapter)
