Turning one's hands to make clouds and turning one's hands to rain. This sentence is used to describe the turbulent situation of the Tang Dynasty. It is really appropriate. Ever since Li Longji and Mingzhu successfully sneaked into the palace, overnight, the Tang Dynasty
The situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
As soon as the news that Mingzhu and the others had successfully entered the emperor's palace reached the Linzi Palace, Li Chengqi immediately led him and Li Longji's cronies to launch a coup. He divided his troops into two groups and marched directly into the palace, capturing Princess Taiping in one fell swoop and placing her in the palace.
The other group surrounded Princess Taiping's mansion and put Princess Taiping under house arrest.
Taiping had always thought that both Li Longji brothers were seriously ill and were about to die. She never thought that they would suddenly raise an army. Moreover, although she had been working hard to manage the court over the years, because she was a woman, her relationship with the generals was not very good.
Being harmonious is far inferior to being close to the civil servants. At this time, the weakness of the civil servants was revealed, so overnight, the entire city of Chang'an was controlled by the Li brothers.
After Li Chengqi's men entered the palace, Mingzhu immediately used colorful clothes and feathers to revive the emperor.
Those ministers who still didn't know what had happened came to court as usual in the morning, but they saw that it was the emperor who was in high spirits sitting on the dragon chair, not Zhenguo who was sitting on the chair next to the dragon chair.
The eldest princess couldn't help but wonder.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued a series of decrees. The first one was that the princess of Zhenguo was temporarily recuperating in the mansion due to physical discomfort, and no one was allowed to disturb her.
Then, everyone understood that the eldest princess had completely failed this time.
A brutal purge began. Princess Taiping's cronies were dismissed from office and imprisoned. The court was in chaos, and the entire city of Chang'an was in panic.
At this time, only the Fang family was peaceful. Mingzhu, Wangyounu, and Hunting Fox were sitting in the house, listening quietly to the new news that kept coming.
Listening to this news, Mingzhu was filled with emotions. Before she came back this time, Master Zhong told her that Princess Taiping ultimately failed in her fight for imperial power with Li Longji. This was one of the biggest mysteries of the Tang Dynasty. Countless historians
After studying this issue, based on the strength of Princess Taiping at that time, there was no reason to fail anyway, but in the end she failed, and no one could figure out why.
But now, Mingzhu finally understood that the reason why the Taiping Society failed was entirely due to the intervention of a modern person like her.
Regarding this matter, Hunter Fox and Wangyounu didn't have as many thoughts as Mingzhu. For them, the Li Longji brothers finally won. This is the best result. They can use Li Longji's power to go to the Western Regions to find the devil.
The Fang family has been rescued. At this moment, they are waiting for the situation to stabilize quickly so that they can discuss with Li Longji about sending troops to the Western Regions.
Mingzhu and the others did not expect that at the same time, there were two people in Chang'an City, in a dark room, also discussing about going to the Western Regions!
Princess Taiping was half leaning and half leaning on the bed in her bedroom, her eyes slightly closed. Next to her stood a young maid with her head bowed. This maid was dressed exactly the same as the other maids. She was holding a tea tray in her hand, and there was a tea tray in her hand.
At first glance, the tea cup is serving Taiping to drink medicine. She lowers her head and cannot see her face clearly. From a distance, this scene looks very normal.
But if you listen to the conversation between Taiping and this maid, people will understand what an important thing they are talking about!
Taiping sighed and said quietly:
"Hongge, you are indeed very loyal. As soon as Prince Shouchun surrounded the princess' mansion, you disguised yourself as a palace maid and came to my place."
It turns out that this maid is Hongge pretending to be!
Hongge smiled bitterly in her heart:
'Why don't I come? The life of our family is in your hands. If something happens to you, who will give us the antidote?'
Hongge whispered:
"Serving the princess is what you should do."
In fact, the most real thought in her heart now is that she hopes that her loyalty this time can impress Taiping and let her give her all the antidotes her family needs. However, she does not dare to make this request openly, because
She knew that if Taiping knew that she came with a purpose, it would be even less possible for her to give herself the antidote.
Taiping suddenly stopped talking and just leaned against her quietly. The more she acted like this, the more nervous Hongge became, because Hongge knew Taiping’s habits. Her behavior meant that she had something important to think about, and she usually
It’s about thinking about killing people!
'Oh my God, I hope the princess won't let me kill anyone again. I'm really tired of killing.' Hongge prayed silently in her heart.
After a long time, Taiping finally spoke again:
"Hongge, I want to send you out for a trip, do you think that's okay?"
"Hongge obeys the princess's orders in everything." Hongge replied.
"Okay." Taiping picked up a jade Ruyi from the pillow and said, "Take this and go to the Western Regions to find a man named Qian Kongtian. When he sees this Ruyi, he will know that you are mine.
Now that you are alive, tell him everything that happened in Chang'an, and then tell him that if he is willing to help me get the throne back, I will marry him and share the country with him!"
Although Hongge was used to always keeping silent in front of Taiping, this time, she was still frightened by Taiping's words. Hongge suddenly raised her head and stared at Taiping. Taiping saw the expression in Hongge's expression.
The changes made me smile slightly:
"What? You were surprised when you heard that I was getting married?"
Hongge didn't dare to reply and lowered his head again. Taiping chuckled again and then said:
"What's all the fuss about? I'm a widow now, and it's not normal for me to want to get married. Although I don't know exactly what kind of person Qian Gongtian is. But as long as he can help
If I win the throne, I can marry him." After a moment, Taiping added, "Throughout the ages, many emperors have had concubines and queens for the sake of the throne. What does it matter if I find a husband for the sake of the throne?
That’s not possible.”
When Princess Taiping spoke, her eyes flashed with light. Hong Ge could only feel her gaze, as if he had already seen it. If one day, Taiping really regained control of the throne, then Chang'an City would definitely be filled with blood.
Taiping added:
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Do you still have a way to leave the house now?"
"I'll find a way."
"Okay, also, this matter is very important..." Taiping deliberately did not finish the sentence.
Hong Ge knew that she was waiting for him to say the following words, so Hong Ge said dryly:
"I understand that if I encounter a crisis and it is difficult to escape, I will commit suicide immediately."
"Okay, it's true that I trained you. However, I still hope you can succeed. You must remember that your family's life and future prosperity depend on your mission this time."
"Yes, Hong Ge understands."
There are no sentries in the princess's mansion yet, but the outside is already surrounded by water. It is definitely impossible to get out from the gate. So after Hongge came out of Princess Taiping's bedroom, she quietly walked towards the kitchen.
.Because she knew that there was a secret passage in the woodshed that could lead all the way to a safe place - Han Gang's jewelry shop!
As soon as Hong Ge appeared in the jewelry store, Han Gang became nervous immediately. He quickly took Hong Ge to a secret room and asked eagerly:
"Miss Hongge, how is the situation in the house?"
"It's okay so far. The princess is also safe. I have a mission now and I have to go on a long journey. You can help me prepare enough money, salutes and other things, and also find a way to send me out of the city. It's already difficult to leave the city now.
Right?" Hongge asked.
"It is indeed difficult, but don't worry, I have a solution. When will you leave?"
"The sooner the better."
"Do you want to give you a few more followers?"
"No need." Hong Ge replied decisively. Han Gang also knew that this girl had always been a loner. So, without saying anything more, he went straight to get ready.
Hong Ge was safely sent out of the city by Han Gang, who sent her to a special inn where there were many good horses, which were specially used for people like Hong Ge and others to go out to perform tasks.
Hong Ge chose a maroon horse, jumped on it and galloped towards the west. She ran for three days and saw that she was gradually leaving the bustling city. Going forward, there were only those who were doing business.
In the middle of these huge camel teams, a girl riding a horse suddenly appeared. This was indeed too conspicuous.
However, these businessmen have all seen the world, and they all know that the world is full of all kinds of strange people and strange things. Therefore, when encountering such strange things, it is better to pretend not to have seen them.
Hong Ge ran wildly to a valley, and suddenly the horse under her crotch made a sharp neigh, and its two front hooves suddenly jumped up. Hong Ge was unprepared and almost fell off the horse. At first, she thought it was a horse.
I encountered some kind of wild beast, but it turned out that there was silence and nothing around.
Hong Ge took another careful look and discovered that there was a person lying in front of the horse's hooves! The horse was very spiritual and jumped up in time to avoid stepping on the person.
It seems that this man has been unconscious for a long time, and his body has been covered with a layer of yellow sand. If Hongge hadn't happened to pass by like this, he would have died here. It is very common for someone to die on this road, so Hongge
She didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters and just wanted to leave. But she didn't know why, this time Hong Ge suddenly felt compassion. Maybe it was because she felt that her life was in danger. She actually got off her horse and walked up to that person.
,
At this sight, Hongge was stunned. The man lying on the ground was not a Han, but a Hu!
