Chapter 20 Meeting

Coming from Chang'an City to Huaqing Palace is like coming from the hustle and bustle of the world to the secluded forest.

There are almost no crops and villages, and there are no cities and markets outside the Huaqing Palace. When you first arrive, you feel like you have entered a paradise that is out of reality.

Xue Chongxun's trip was mainly for Sun's family, but he first went to pay homage to Princess Taiping.

In this world, she is the one who devotes the most attentive and patient, and she is also a woman who is extremely difficult to serve.

Princess Taiping is not an ordinary person. She is very smart and capable. She not only interferes in politics but also occupies an indispensable position in the power structure. She shared the power that Xue Chongxun nominally monopolized, but she is also one of his allies and strength compositions.

Xue Chongxun must devote great thoughts and meticulous considerations to form such a balance and tacit understanding with her; put aside their family and blood relationships, they are also the people they know and care about the most. For example, Princess Taiping's casual expression, Xue Chongxun can feel her mood. Even if she has never understood the woman he once liked the most, his wife, so meticulously and deeply.

She is also a person with unusual feelings. Her parents have both been emperors. Her family relationships and experiences are extremely complicated and have become far away from the category of mortals. Those who are closest to her die in fighting each other, with desires, love and hatred intertwined, and it is inseparable and unclear.

Xue Chongxun is also among them. He is one of the closest people to Princess Taiping. He once overthrew the country of his uncle's family and harmed the Li Tang royal family. At the same time, he also accompanied her to struggle on the line of life and death, and even saved her life at all costs several times...

Unlike others, Xue Chongxun is still alive, while others are dead.

Xue Chongxun is not much better. Thirty years of experience seem to have lived through several lifetimes.

The two of them met, never mentioned the past, and got along with each other carefully. Xue Chongxun played the role of his son and the emperor, and Princess Taiping played the role of his mother and elder.

Most of the time, they look polite and kind, and occasionally quarrel, and everything is normal.

Xue Chongxun held the courtesy in a regular manner, then walked to Princess Taiping and said easily: My mother is in Huaqing Palace all winter, and I can't see you miss you every day.

Princess Taiping smiled and said: You are not very carefree in Chang'an. You only remember me after meeting you now?

It's really not just a joke.

Xue Chongxun said seriously, sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I feel a strange feeling. If you had never been in this world, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have someone to think about.

Princess Taiping smiled but said nothing.

Yuqing, who was standing next to her, looked at Xue Chongxun, and she suddenly remembered that Princess Taiping had said something similar.

It seems that at that time, Yu Qing was fooling Princess Taiping to practice and could live forever, or at least three or four hundred years old. Princess Taiping said that she would let Xue Chongxun practice, otherwise it would be boring if he died of old age in the future.

At this time, Xue Chongxun said in a relaxed and pleasant tone: Is your mother in good health?I see that your complexion is getting better and better. Could it be that Taoist Master Yuqing's immortal pill can really live forever?

If you believe it, you can try taking it.Princess Taiping said.

Of course, Xue Chongxun didn't believe it very much, and he subconsciously had a kind of resistance that the elixir contained heavy metals equivalent to chronic poison. However, he knew that he could not persuade Princess Taiping, so he didn't want to have trouble arguing with her.

He also understood her. She was cured after suffering from a terminal illness when she was cured. It was equivalent to seeing miracles with her own eyes. It was difficult for her not to believe in God. How could anyone persuade her?

He said: My mother is an immortal body. If you eat it, it will work, but most people may not work.Didn’t Taoist Master Yuqing say that the man’s body is full of turbid air, and nothing he eats is useless.

Why did she say that, I don’t know yet?

Princess Taiping turned her head slightly with a smile, but she didn't hear Yuqing speak. She said again, I'm as she said, but not because of anything else, but because of you.

I?

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, and could not help but think about it.

But he paid attention to Princess Taiping's expression and dispelled his fantasies. Princess Taiping's expression was calm and peaceful, as if he was just saying something extremely ordinary.

Then the meaning of this sentence should be that she is the emperor and the empress dowager, so she had to keep herself clean for the honor of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun was inexplicably disappointed, and at the same time contradictoryly blamed himself for hiding too many dirty and secret emotions.

But on the other hand, Princess Taiping's arms are indeed the most fascinating thing in the world.

Princess Taiping brushed her wide sleeves, lowered her body and moved her seat, and her every move was domineering and luxurious, even though she was just wearing a simple dress.

Her elegant and luxurious temperament is indeed not made of pearls, jade, gems, silk and satin.

After she relaxed slightly, she said: I heard that the imperial court used troops on both sides after the beginning of spring this year. Have you considered it clearly?

Xue Chongxun thought for a while, and finally said in the most frank words: I made a mistake in causing this situation. Last year's Yingzhou battle was too hasty and was not prepared enough.

He admitted his mistakes only in front of Princess Taiping, and he would never admit them in front of anything else.

This attitude made Princess Taiping very satisfied, and she nodded slightly.

Xue Chongxun continued: But now I cannot cancel the Hebei strategy, otherwise it will damage the prestige of the royal family; in addition, military weapons surveillance has created a new weapon, so I have more confidence in eliminating the chaos in Hebei.Mother, don’t worry too much. Before and after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we used force to settle Tubo in the west and destroy the Turks in the north. This time we can also solve the problem with force. Compared with the prosperous Tubo, several tribal alliances in the northeast and a group of bandits were just clowns.

Princess Taiping stretched out her hand: Where is the paper manifesto I received yesterday?

Yuqing took a step forward, took out a roll of paper and placed it gently in Princess Taiping's hand. Princess Taiping asked Xue Chongxun: Have you seen this thing?

It seems that someone has presented it, but I didn't see it.Xue Chongxun answered truthfully.

Princess Taiping gradually showed a murderous aura between her eyebrows and eyes, and she threw the manifesto on the case: This person is not only a clown, but also a vicious person. I want you to send the general to destroy his nine clans!

Her voice was not loud, but the atmosphere suddenly changed with one sentence, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her bent their waists lower.

Don't worry, my son will definitely kill all the traitors and double the taxes and labor service in Huazhou in the future to calm the mother's anger.

Xue Chongxun said the words first, then picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. He thought there was nothing good before, but now he became a little curious about what he wrote to make Princess Taiping angry.

After a look, Xue Chongxun understood why Princess Taiping got angry. This manifesto was simply an insulting article. Xue Chongxun was scolded for being miserably because of usurping the throne. Among them, Princess Taiping was scolded the most fiercely, forgetting her ancestors and being arrogant and extravagant, and being extravagant and lewd. It is said that it is well-founded, but to be honest, it is really impossible to refute.

For example, it is nothing wrong to change the Li family's surname and say that she forgets her ancestors and turns her back to the clan. She has been using military forces to build a large number of buildings and collects rare treasures for years before and after the founding of the country. These are not made up, and it is also arrogance, extravagance and lewdness.

Not only are there these reasonable and well-founded statements, but there are also false accusations that she commits sexual misconduct in the harem and even commits adultery with her son...

This crime is really wronged by Princess Taiping. Xue Chongxun knows the most. She didn't even raise a novice face many years ago. How could she talk about being promiscuous in the harem? Adultery is even more false.

However, fabricated things are not useless. People in the world like to talk about this secrets the most, and you can't even explain them even if you have a mouth.

Just like the female emperor Wu Zetian, who fabricated many unofficial history for her, such as the eighteen strong men in one night, is more true.

Xue Chongxun knew this truth and Princess Taiping knew it too. No wonder she was so angry.

After seeing this, Xue Chongxun said kindly and comforted: Mother, please calm down and don’t hurt the immortal body. My son can destroy both the rebels and rumors.There is an internal factory in the court, which is dedicated to inquiries about intelligence and information. If I pass the order, someone will arrest him if he dares to spread rumors.

Princess Taiping took a deep breath, her chest fluctuated, and she slowly said: You don’t hear that guarding the people is more important than guarding the river. Those people just say bad things and do not break the law. You will arrest them and punish them severely, and sooner or later you will gain the reputation of a foolish tyrant.

Whatever it does? All of my belongs to my mother. Now that someone slanders you, can I still not bear to be famous? Xue Chongxun advised.

Princess Taiping's emotions fluctuated and said coldly: To put it nicely, what are your plans to promise Du Xian to be the Minister of the Shang Dynasty?Do you have to be your confidant in the court to be relieved?

Unexpectedly, she accused herself so nakedly. Xue Chongxun felt upset at first, but he quickly figured it out: the ability to express such sensitive doubts in person means that she trusts her very much, otherwise she would not say it at all.

Maybe it was because Xue Chongxun was too obedient to her and said it was easy to coax her, which aroused her willfulness; Princess Taiping is now very stable and generous, but when she was a child, she grew up under the spoiled spoiled of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian. Even at this age, she cannot completely erase her willfulness in her bones.

At this time, Xue Chongxun knew that he could not compete with her and had to coax her.

He felt that he was more sensible than his mother after all. He hurriedly said with a heart-wrenching expression: How could you think that way?

Princess Taiping's eyes were very majestic and awe-inspiring. She felt extremely stressed when she was taken at first sight. He said coldly: What can I think if you do that?

And the only person who can meet such a look is probably Xue Chongxun. He said without changing his face: Do you still need to explain? Mother is more important than life in the heart of his son.

This sentence sounds fake at first, but Princess Taiping's mind showed that Xue Chongxun blocked the assassin's sword with his chest. He could do it, but it was true.

Thinking of that scene, as if it happened yesterday, she seemed to be able to hear Xue Chongxun's roar ringing in her ears.

Princess Taiping's expression was slightly calmer, but she still refused to give in: You have to explain it to me.
