Chapter 12 Ambition

If Chang'an does such a big thing, it is not the one left-behind Zhongshu Ling Zhang who can weigh the pros and cons and deal with it properly.

Less than half an hour after the small dynasty of Xuanzheng Hall ended, the messenger sent by the Zhengshi Hall rushed straight to Huaqing Palace, and it arrived in less than half a day.

The memorial was soon in the hands of Yu Liben, because he was a person who often served Princess Taiping, and he could reach Princess Taiping's hands as quickly as possible.

Yu Liben first went to report to Princess Taiping, and she was bathing in the hot spring in Changchun Palace.

The main hall on the shore of Furong Lake is often used for banquets. The Changchun Hall behind is where Princess Taiping lives in Huaqing Palace. It has a hot spring pond like spring, so it is named.

When Yu Liben arrived at the place, he found out that Princess Taiping was taking a bath, so it was inconvenient to go in. Although he was an eunuch and was not a man, the people who were waiting for the noble ladies to take a shower and change clothes nearby in the palace were mainly palace maids.

He handed the letter to a familiar palace maid.

After conveying the news here, Yu Liben thought about it and rushed to Xingchen Tang again, where Xue Chongxun lived.

After asking where he was, Yu Liben went to the attic next to the hot spring, and saw Xue Chongxun sitting next to the railing playing chess with someone.

An old man who was an official sat opposite him, and a middle-aged man sat in the middle with his beard twisted in his chin and watched with great interest.

Please sit down, Eunuch Yu, I'm at a disadvantage.Xue Chongxun said without raising his head.

Yu Liben walked forward with a whisk in his arms, and his red robe was kicked up and down. He said as he walked: There is something wrong in Chang'an, so I disturbed a few of them.

When the official saw Yu Liben's expression, he stood up and clasped his fists at the same time and said: I will say goodbye first and come to play chess with the prince next day.

Xue Chongxun replied to the gift and asked Yu Liben: What happened?

His Majesty made a fuss in Chang'an and summoned the ministers to jointly invite Xue Lang to ascend the throne, and he wanted to abdicate the throne!The fish is the original way.

Xue Chongxun said in surprise: Why did you suddenly cause this?We didn't force him... What are your actions against today?

Yu Liben said: The Za family stayed by His Highness’s side throughout his life, and he was not prepared at all. It must have been done by the mother and son in Penglai Palace today.

Xue Chongxun thought that although Li Tang was becoming increasingly powerful, it was also a dynasty with a century of foundation. If you really wanted to change the dynasty, you would need a lot of preparations. How could you be so abrupt?

It is impossible for my mother to act so rashly. Besides, Princess Taiping is really not under pressure to change the surname of the dynasty?

Even Xue Chongxun himself was unable to make a judgment. He remembered the meeting in the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Princess Taiping revealed that meaning, but it was of great importance but it was not a matter of one sentence. Moreover, Princess Taiping's mood was a little out of control at that time.

After he thought about it, he said: I have always had this kind of thought. Your Majesty is so careless!He is going to be injustice for Xue!After saying that, he walked around the room anxiously, looking heartbroken.

Yu Liben patiently waited for Xue Chongxun to finish his performance before saying: Your Majesty is indeed too rash and too anxious. Why don’t Xue Lang submit a report to avoid misunderstanding Xue Lang.

Xue Chongxun said: I have to discuss it with my mother first.After saying that, he wanted to go out.

Yu Liben said: Your Highness is in the hot spring soup in Changchun Palace, but the miscellaneous family has reported the news. It is time to get up and read Chang'an urgently report.

Xue Chongxun nodded: Then I will go to Changchun Palace to discuss with my mother.He walked out of the door and went westward, and went straight to Changchun Palace.

When he arrived outside Princess Taiping's bedroom, Xue Chongxun was not inconvenient to break in directly, so he asked a palace maid to go in and report.

After the palace maid came out and said that Your Highness asked him to come in to meet, Xue Chongxun walked in.

He had just arrived in Huaqing Palace yesterday. This was the first time Princess Taiping's bedroom. As soon as he entered the hall gate, he saw the fog inside was like a fairyland, and the wide silk curtains and curtains appeared faintly in the hazy white qi Chong.

At this time, a palace maid heard: Do you want to invite the prince to the attic to wait for His Highness?Another palace maid said: Your Highness just asked the prince to go in directly.

They were talking there, because the fog was too big, Xue Chongxun couldn't even see his face clearly, and could only hear the sound.

Xue Chongxun felt a little expectant when he heard this, but then he thought that when he thought, Mr. Taiping said that the main thing must have been dressed neatly, and it was nothing. Although the place was inconvenient to entertain guests, Xue Chongxun was not an outsider.

The prince, please come with me.

A palace maid said timidly, and then took small steps carefully. Maybe she could not take big steps in the skirt, so Xue Chongxun had to follow her slowly.

After walking for a while, a large pool appeared in front of me, which was still steaming. Such a large pool appeared indoors like an indoor swimming pool, but the shore was inlaid with wood and curtains were hung around it. The quaint scene was very different from the indoor swimming pool in Xue Chongxun's mind.

He looked closely and saw that there was another person in the pool, with his back facing his hair like clouds, which was a woman. He was immediately embarrassed and looked at his back again and was very familiar with him...

Who is not the person who bathes in this place?

It turns out that she didn't get ashore after hearing the news.

There was a palace maid standing by the pond with a letter in her hand in her hand. She probably hadn't had time to leave after she had just finished reading it.

Xue Chongxun gritted his teeth and said, "My son is paying homage to my mother."

You are here.

Princess Taiping turned around and said lightly, the water was hazy and the fog was hazy, and nothing could be seen on the shore, but you can imagine that Princess Taiping was not wearing any strands of her body now.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly lowered his hands and lowered his head. Princess Taiping acted very naturally, as if everything was in line with common sense. Even the people next to her seemed to feel that nothing was wrong.

But when Xue Chongxun thought about the common saying, there was a rule that children avoided their mothers. This was a bit too much, but he was unwilling to point it out and just wanted to pretend not to know.

There were other people around, except for Taoist Yuqing, there were also a few palace maids and servants, who were even more afraid to speak. What's more, can you point to a deer as a horse?

Xue Chongxun said seriously: My son just heard about Chang'an, and he was in a hurry to see his mother.I heard that the ministers are going to abdicate today, how can this be done?Nothing is true for children...

Too anxious to prepare, aren't you?Princess Taiping suddenly interrupted him.

Xue Chongxun was stunned, looking at the floor without saying a word, thinking about the words.

Princess Taiping said calmly again: This matter is nothing difficult, of course you have to refuse without hesitation.Not to mention anything else, when the ancients were justified in following the general trend, their ministers expressed their words and said that they would say three more words. Now, when the emperor said that, how could you agree immediately?

At this time, Xue Chongxun said: I have no intention of taking the risk of being apart from my mother, as this will only make the relatives suffer and the enemy happy.Everything is given by you, and I will never want to take anything from you, let alone seizing the throne and seeking a presidency... I don't have such great ambitions.

He said a few words in a straightforward manner, as if they were very casual, but he thought about it for a while. The attitude he wanted to show to Princess Taiping was: he was unwilling to be enemies with her.

In fact, at this time, the Li Tang royal family had declined to the lowest level in a century. Xue Chongxun really wanted to usurp the throne and was the most difficult to deal with the Taiping Party, and he was also the one who was the most incompetent. Even if other forces were dissatisfied, they were relatively loose and difficult to gather to fight against the Central Party members who already held military and political power.

You have no ambitions?

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun with a smile, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Even if Xue Chongxun is her closest relative, she can feel the majesty at any time. The pressure she puts on people is that a temperament is revealed inadvertently in every word and deed.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly bowed and said: Ambition and fame are all things outside of the body. I value my relatives and families who are closely concerned about fate.If my mother thinks that I will threaten Li Tang Jiye, I can take back everything I have. Even my life is given by my mother. You can take it away at any time... With just one sentence from you, I will definitely order the generals and staff of Shence Army and other staff to give up resistance and wait for the defeat. I don’t even want to fight. Is there any meaning to what they do?

He spoke very sincerely, without showing any falsehood at all. Princess Taiping was moved after hearing this. He recalled that last time Xue Chongxun took the initiative to mobilize the Shen Ce army to Chang'an, and how could he be wary of her every bit of it?

Just like when he came to Huaqing Palace now, he was surrounded by the Flying Tiger Regiment and was stationed outside. The Yulin Army beside Princess Taiping was close to the thousand cavalry to protect the horse. It was easy to arrange a Hongmen banquet to take down his son, because he was not guarded against him at all.

Princess Taiping was silent for a moment, but the expression on her face was still as smiling as before, making people unable to figure it out. Please get closer and let me see if you have ambition in your eyes.

yes.

Xue Chongxun respectfully walked around the edge of the wood pool, stood next to Princess Taiping, and then looked down at him...

At this time, he suddenly turned red, because when he looked down, Princess Taiping's upper body could be seen under the water, and her snow-white and huge skin was particularly dazzling in the sparkling water.

He hurriedly looked away.

Even though Xue Chongxun was very thick-skinned, he couldn't calm down when facing Princess Taiping, and even his ears turned red.

Princess Taiping raised her head, looked at his face with a smile, and said: Great ambitions...

Xue Chongxun was worried and confused when he heard this, and was in a very complicated mood. He blushed and defended: Son... Son, I have no false words, please give me a clear explanation.

Princess Taiping looked doting and said softly: Chongxun, what do you want? Tell my mother, I will help you.

It was very rare for a person like her to say such words.

A word can scare people's legs tremble when they are cold, but when they are warm, they can be like this now.

Xue Chongxun bent over in panic and said: I don’t want anything, I have enough...
