In front of Tang Wanzhuang, of course Zhao Changhe could only distance himself from the relationship with the imperial concubine: "Where are you thinking? Isn't it just that if you look good, you will look at it twice? It's human nature, human nature...
"
Tang Wanzhuang stared at him without speaking.
Zhao Changhe said carefully: "Actually, I stared at you for a longer time. Didn't you feel it..."
Tang Wanzhuang glanced around subconsciously and said expressionlessly: "Remember what you said."
It means to remind him that everyone has agreed that they are not interested in marriage, but don't go back on your word.
Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes. They could tease each other a little bit in Gusu before, but they started teasing each other again in the capital. The skin was very tender, and they refused to find anyone else.
Tang Wanzhuang ignored his expression and continued to ask: "It doesn't matter if you look at her a few times, is it normal for you to want to stay in the Huangfu family?"
"I have no place to stay, can I stay here?"
Tang Wanzhuang: "..."
She found that she had no position to quarrel, so she could only say: "Anyway, regardless of whether you admit her identity or not, she is still a noble concubine. Even if you are just an ordinary commoner, you can't covet her. Be careful with your head. And based on that identity, she is just a noble concubine.
Even……"
Zhao Changhe felt a little guilty and said helplessly: "Where are you talking about? What's wrong with you today? Why don't you just take a second look at things like this? Isn't this the angle from which our leader Tang should look at things?"
Tang Wanzhuang also felt that she had lost her temper. She adjusted her mood by lowering her head and sipping tea, and then slowly said: "Because I know that she, a so-called noble concubine, doesn't take it seriously, and neither does His Majesty. So I must be a little worried.
"
Zhao Changhe became interested: "How to say?"
Tang Wanzhuang hesitated for a while. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said to anyone casually, but if this person is Zhao Changhe, does it count as a family matter in a sense? Or is it better to let him know?
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said: "The Huangfu family is a general in the northwest and originally did not live in the capital. Since several young masters died in battle one after another, Your Majesty asked Jingyuan Marquis to return to the capital to retire, which is an extremely gracious blessing..."
Zhao Changhe said: "Are you afraid that your achievements will shock your master? Or are you afraid that General Huangfu will lose too many sons and his mentality will explode? He said he was returning to the capital to retire, but in fact he was disbanded and returned to his fields, seizing military power. He also had people leave where they had been stationed for generations and be raised in captivity in the capital."
"Maybe...a little bit." Tang Wanzhuang said it, but she also felt it sounded unpleasant, and defended the emperor: "But your Majesty has not killed any meritorious officials so far, which is also rare in history. It is really not good for the general family to be stationed on the border for a long time.
...Furthermore, the Huangfu family were surrendered ministers of the previous dynasty, so it is not incomprehensible for them to defend themselves against the emperor."
The former dynasty... Zhao Changhe remembered for the first time that there was such a concept. It had been decades since the founding of Daxia, and the concept of the former dynasty had long been completely lost among the people. I had never heard of it for so long.
Having said that, it is quite normal for Miss Huangfuqing to feel resentful after the Huangfu family's experience, but the family doesn't know what to think. So she joined the Four Symbols Cult on her own? I wonder if her father knows... Anyway, judging from the current situation
, at least the Demon-Suppressing Division didn’t know, otherwise Tang Wanzhuang wouldn’t have this attitude.
He also refused to comment: "What then?"
"The Huangfu family entered the capital more than ten years ago. At that time, Huangfu Shaozong was still wearing crotchless trousers. Huangfu was in love in his prime. At that time, his reputation was really well-known in the capital..."
"Where were you then?"
"..." This question turned out to be a precise entry point that broke several clues.
Tang Wanzhuang didn't want to answer, but she could only answer expressionlessly: "Traveling around the world... studying in Beijing."
Zhao Changhe urgently suppressed his smile.
About the same age, about the same beauty, about the same family background, I guess there is not much difference in talent and learning. Maybe your martial arts is better than hers... Zhao Changhe has not thought that the Winged Fire Snake is Suzaku, otherwise he would not even have martial arts skills.
almost.
A woman from a water town is gentle, elegant and serious; a woman who is a general and a fierce woman may be a bit of a goblin.
One is the mainstay of the imperial court, and the other is a traitor behind the scenes.
They are simply incompatible, both light and dark. It's not surprising that these two people have disliked each other since they were young girls. Most likely, this has become natural, and the entire capital is used to having fun.
Time flies, one becomes the leader, the other becomes the concubine, and the inertia is still tearing...
If Zhao Changhe could connect Zhuque, he would know that back in Luojiazhuang, in the tense atmosphere of massacre and annihilation, Zhuque's first words when he saw Tang Wanzhuang were: "The name of Spring Water Sword Technique is a bit vulgar.
It’s still good-looking.”
The little taste in those words is really not enough to explain to outsiders.
Tang Wanzhuang looked unhappy: "What's that expression on your face? Do you think I told you not to get close to her because we dislike each other?"
Is not it?
Zhao Changhe sat obediently and drank tea with his head down.
Tang Wanzhuang knocked on the table: "What does this matter have to do with me? It's after the Huangfu family entered Beijing! Don't change the subject!"
"Hmm, what next?"
Tang Wanzhuang stared at him for a long time, and finally got back to the topic: "In general, in the many wars with the Hu people in the future, the imperial court was defeated badly, and many elite border troops were killed. It is said that some of His Majesty's stupid moves in his later years led to the collapse of the world.
Chaos, this can be considered one of them. Marquis Jingyuan really couldn’t sit still and asked for an expedition many times."
Zhao Changhe said: "So sending your daughter to the palace is considered to give him peace of mind? What kind of peace of mind can your daughter have? It's useless. It's not as meaningful as leaving Huangfu Shaozong to live in the capital."
"Obviously, the real proton is Huangfu Shaozong himself, not Huangfu Qing. I don't know if Huangfu Shaozong himself understands it."
"...In other words, there is no need for Huangfu Qing to enter the palace."
"Yes, it's unnecessary and meaningless. In this matter, it is very likely that Huangfu Qing and the Jingyuan Hou family are treated separately... At most, it would be nicer to let Jingyuan Hou use his relatives to lead the troops, which is better than holding others captive.
It’s nice to have a son in Beijing, but I still think it’s Huangfu Qing’s own business.”
"Is that because Lao Xia was guilty of sexual misconduct and forced her to enter the palace?"
"No, His Majesty has not been flirting with women for at least ten years, maybe even longer. He has not even chosen a beautiful girl in twenty years." Tang Wanzhuang said seriously: "In fact, your Majesty's cultivation has reached such a level that the unity of heaven and man is achieved.
To such an extent, I will no longer be interested in these things. I have never seen anyone on the Heavenly List who is interested, such as Cui Wenjing. Since Cui Yuanyang was born, he has probably never touched his wife or concubines. The reason why His Majesty only has one
Prince, for the same reason, according to my secret information in the inner palace, His Majesty has not touched Queen Wang for at least fifteen years. Maybe the Luo family matter is his last interest..."
"..." Although it matched the judgment of Huangfu's virginity, Zhao Changhe's CPU was about to burn out again.
Since entering the palace has no meaning to the Huangfu family, why did she enter the palace? To seduce the emperor? The emperor is no longer a womanizer. It seems that there are many people who know about it. It makes no sense that you don't know, and you still want to seduce a hammer? And this kind of thing
It's not like what the Winged Fire Snake would do with its temperament.
It makes sense to deliberately enter the palace and cause trouble for some purpose, such as plotting to assassinate the emperor. But it doesn't make sense for Xia Longyuan. Since he didn't even choose a beautiful girl, why would he find a noble concubine after all, because he thinks he doesn't have enough things to do?
Maybe she killed your son and you didn’t care?
But fortunately, this matter probably doesn't require any brain-burning. If I ask Huangfu Qing directly later, she should be able to tell.
Damn it, the worst case scenario is that in exchange for joining the religion.
Tang Wanzhuang said: "In short, the relationship between His Majesty and Huangfu is definitely not the relationship between the emperor and the concubine. It must be just a name, and they are cooperating for a certain thing. Your Majesty's idea may be barely interpreted as promoting a noble concubine to beat the Queen.
, but I really didn’t understand Huangfu Qing’s purpose, and it’s impossible to have a son. What is she trying to do? An assassination? In short, this woman is very dangerous, especially your identity..."
She paused, frowned and said: "You shouldn't have entered the capital. There is no big difference between your entering the capital and announcing that you will succeed to the throne. What does the Queen think, what does Huangfu Qing think, the attitude of the officials... His Majesty's own attitude. Here.
I can't deduce the trouble I'm involved in for a while, so why did I come to Beijing at this time? It's not the right time."
The shadow of Xia Chichi flashed through Zhao Changhe's heart, and he knew that his entry into the capital this time was not entirely the result of Yihuo Snake's deception. The reason for entering the capital was not that important.
The real reason was Xia Chichi's sigh. She felt that her father was going to die, but she didn't even know the situation.
Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: "The Wang family is in turmoil. I feel that Queen Wang has revealed some serious information to the Wang family. I want to know your majesty's true current situation. Once I know it, I will leave. You said you have a hidden secret in the palace, can you?
Give me a confirmation letter?"
Tang Wanzhuang shook her head: "According to my information, His Majesty's complexion is obviously fine. I don't know how the Wang family judged it. Even this morning he went to court and sent additional troops south, and there was no problem at all.
"
Zhao Changhe scratched his head and thought to himself that if you don't let me get in touch with Huangfu Qing, I'm afraid it won't be possible. I have to ask Huangfu Qing about this anyway...
Just as I was thinking this, the announcement from the Demon Suppression Department personnel came from outside: "First Officer, Mr. Huangfu is outside and has invited Zhao Changhe to a banquet."
Zhao Changhe looked at Tang Wanzhuang pitifully. Tang Wanzhuang glared at him angrily, then shook his head and laughed: "Go, go, come, how long can you hide? Let's see if the smoke and clouds in Beijing are like you.
