Chinese dining table

Chapter 1208 The song ends and everyone disperses
Yun Luan was very happy. As long as Princess Taiping didn't like him, it didn't matter to him who she liked.

Taiping is a very naive and gullible girl.

But the problem is that she is a giant baby.

A giant baby that is ten feet tall.

Even if this innocent little girl had no intention of harming anyone, she could kick the person next to her into the sky just by waving her hand or stretching her legs.

Even if she just felt wronged and cried, the sound would resound through the heavens and earth... What's more, she has two parents who are hundreds of feet tall behind her. As long as one of them feels that their daughter has been wronged, just stretching out a finger will be enough to crush the Taiping man into meat paste.

Others don't know how favored Princess Taiping is, but Yun Luan knows it well. Not only do her parents dote on Taiping, they also like to vent their anger on others because of Taiping.

Taiping is not good at studying, so he is responsible for studying with him.

Taiping's etiquette was not proper, so the Taifu was blamed.

Taiping behaved improperly and blamed the female official.

No matter what bad things Taiping did, someone would take the blame for her. At the very least, she would be beaten with a stick, and at the worst, she would be killed.

During the time when Taiping was growing up, no less than twenty lives were lost because Taiping was not taken care of properly. And that's not counting the hundred or so people who were beaten to death by her mother when Taiping went to put out the fire in Mangshan a few days ago.

So, if you are with Taiping, who can bear it if someone around you dies today and another dies tomorrow?
At least, Yunluan kept her distance from Taiping.

Taiping said earlier that the Yun family already had a princess named Anding, and that the emperor and the empress would never promise Taiping to the Yun family. This was pure nonsense.

Today's emperor and empress are truly the number one and number two in the world. Looking around the world, no one's power can exceed theirs.

In the past, the emperors and empresses of the Tang Dynasty still considered using princesses for marriage alliances or sending princesses to marry foreign princes.

Now?

There is no need for this.

The court officials were all trying to make a living, and the emperor and empress were always ready to start a fight to streamline the excessive talents in the Tang Dynasty. They would never use their precious daughters to marry off to consolidate their power.

All the countries and tribes that had contact with the borders of the Tang Dynasty lived in fear, fearing that something they said would be inappropriate or something they did would not suit the emperor's wishes, which would bring down the Tang Dynasty's incredibly powerful army.

Marriage?

Marry the barbarians?
Not to mention the emperor and the empress disagreed, even ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty were not very happy about it.

Since there will be no marriage alliance or peace agreement, the emperor and empress will naturally consider their daughter's happiness.

In today's Tang Dynasty, the Yun family is definitely ranked number one among the families that women most want to marry into.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Yun's son does not take concubines is enough to attract countless women who still have ideas about love.

Yun Luan had long lived under the shadow of Tai Ping's marriage to him, just because the Queen accidentally told Yu Xiurong that year: Women who marry into the Yun family are blessed...

Now, Taiping has someone he loves, which is really great.

"Gurgle," Taiping's stomach growled.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some meat?" Yun Luan kindly handed the beef in her hand to Taiping.

Taiping held his stomach and said, "It hurts a little."

Yun Luan realized belatedly that Tai Ping had eaten up the jade plate, and she jumped up and down and asked, "How did you eat it all?"

Taiping asked in confusion: "If it tastes good, what's wrong with eating more?"

Yun Luan yelled, "You just ate pork knuckle, beef, and a big plate of ice cream...Oh my God, you must have a stomachache."

Taiping's stomach began to ache. He hurriedly threw away the jade plate and grabbed Yunluan, saying, "Go to your bedroom."

Yunluan shook off Taiping's sleeve and said, "No, if you have diarrhea, my bathroom will stink."

Taiping pinched Yunluan's arm and said, "If I embarrass myself, I will tell my mother that you deliberately made me sick and embarrassed."

"You can go to another toilet."

"If you don't want to go, go to the toilet in your bedroom. It's clean there."

Seeing Taiping starting to bend over and clamp his legs together, Yunluan dragged Taiping back to his bedroom like a flash.

Taiping kicked open the toilet door, took off her clothes and sat on the toilet.

Yun Luan endured the crackling sounds made by Taiping, covered her nose, closed the door, opened the window to let the smell out, and seeing Taiping's personal maid standing trembling outside the door, she waved for her to come in and help Taiping go to the toilet.

Yun Luan was very worried that there was an 80% chance that Taiping wouldn't be able to clean up his mess.

Seeing the personal maid go into the toilet, Yun Luan finally breathed a sigh of relief, went to his inner study, picked up a book and started flipping through it casually. Now, Taiping couldn't leave him for a while.

The battle outside the Yun family residence became more and more fierce, and the flames were even spreading to the center of the city.

Jin Manru fell asleep curled up on the brocade couch. She didn't look very pretty when she slept. She liked to sleep curled up like a cat. It was obvious that she was a woman with no sense of security.

Sometimes, Yun Chu really couldn’t understand why this woman, if she left the dirty politics, would be able to live the life she liked. But because of a bunch of unnecessary things, she tied herself up tightly and was used like a dog by others.

When Wenrou jumped in from the window, she saw Jin Manru at first sight.

This guy sniffed around with his nose, then looked at Yun Chu and said, "You didn't do anything."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Bullying a poor woman will only bring bad luck to yourself."

Wenrou looked at the sleeping Jin Manru, then looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said, "Is she pitiful?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Isn't it pitiful?"

Wenrou poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Let's not talk about this. Luoyang City is in chaos, no place is safe, the Jinwu Guards seem to have all died at once, and the Luoyang Sixteen Guards are trapped in the barracks, none of them have come out. The city's public security depends on the Bad People, and it is very likely that all the Bad People in Luoyang are about to die.

I came here just to ask you, are we going to continue to be cowards?
This method worked before, but not now. The emperor holds a long bamboo pole in his hand and pokes it to the bottom. Even the loaches hiding in the mud are uneasy. I'm afraid we old turtles will have to move too, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "So, I sent Ah Jin out and also mobilized Qingyi Tower. Some people want to make the Tang generals and people kill each other, leaving those foreign generals and ministers behind. I think if we are going to suffer, we should all suffer together. At least we should let those foreigners know that we are all on the same boat. If the boat shakes, no one is destined to be safe."

She smiled gently and said, "Since Jin'er is going to deal with those foreign generals, I will deal with those newly rising foreign families. What is going on now? Even the Japanese have started to serve as officials in the Tang Dynasty. This is not appropriate. They are born to mine, pan for gold, and farm."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "The strength we show must be within your majesty's expectations."

Wenrou said, "Of course it is like this."

"We also have to be careful about what people do to us."

“Who will deal with us?”

"Lao Pei!"

Wenrou spat upon hearing this and said, "It's really hard to tell friend from foe."

Yun Chu said: "When the Dark Lord sweeps everything with his sickle, he must achieve this momentum and allow him to establish his authority. If we lower our bodies a little, we may be able to avoid the sweep of the sickle."

Wenrou sighed and said, "No wonder the emperor kept all the important nobles in the Tang Dynasty in Luoyang this year. It turns out that the real purpose is this.

It seems that the emperor has really made up his mind to streamline the military and government."

Yun Chu's face twitched and he said, "The phrase 'streamlining the military and government' is not appropriate here."

Wenrou waved her hand and said, "Different paths lead to the same destination."

While the two were talking, Yun Jin jumped in from the window again. He first glanced at the sleeping Jin Manru, and then began to sniff around like Wenrou.

Wenrou smiled strangely and said, "Don't worry, your Aye is different from your uncle."

Yun Chu glanced at Yun Jin angrily, knowing that this bastard was deliberately trying to embarrass him in front of Wen Rou, so he asked unhappily, "How many did you kill?"

Yun Jin said, "I don't know. A group of people hid in Hongsheng Tower and chased away the staff. I don't know what they were plotting. I had people pour some kerosene outside Hongsheng Tower and set it on fire."

He smiled gently and said, "Didn't anyone escape?"

Yun Jin said: "Those who escaped were shot dead by crossbows. I was worried that the Jinwu Guards would seal off the city, so I didn't continue to look for other targets and rushed back as soon as possible."

Yun Chu asked: "How do you know that the Jinwu Guards are about to seal off the city?"

Yun Jin said, "The bell and drum tower is brightly lit."

Yun Chu asked again: "Who is in the bell and drum tower?"

Yun Jin said, "Tang Xiujing, the Sima of Fengzhou."

Wenrou said to Yunchu when she heard the name, "This person looks a lot like you. During the Yonghui period, he was promoted for his knowledge of classics and started his career as a clerk in the palace of King Wu (Li Ke). After King Wu died, he was not implicated for some reason and was appointed as the household officer of Yingzhou. When the Turks in Yingzhou rebelled, he defeated the Turks with 200 cavalry and beheaded more than 2,000 people. Later, when Guo Daifeng was in chaos in Yingzhou, he followed Wang Xiaojie out of Bailukou to pursue the Khitans. Wang Xiaojie was drowned by the Khitans and suffered heavy casualties. Only he and his men escaped. If it weren't for him, Wang Xiaojie would have been wiped out in that battle.

After you killed Guo Daifeng, the court rewarded the three armies and specially transferred Tang Xiujing to be the Sima of Fengzhou. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step. I heard that this man has the courage to fight against thousands of men on horseback, and the ability to comfort the people and govern the country when he is off the horse. He is really very similar to you. "

Jin Manru, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and said to Yun Chu: "Kill him. He is the candidate that the emperor is preparing to replace you, and he is the best one among them."

Yun Jin ignored Jin Manru's call and said to Yun Chu, "Luoyang sounds chaotic, but it's not chaotic at all. I saw the lights and signals on the bell tower were being transmitted densely, and the flags on the drum tower were constantly changing. In other words, the court knew exactly what was going on in Luoyang at the moment.

Before I went home, I checked the light signals for a while and found a huge red angry lantern rising there. This should be a warning signal for the army to be dispatched, indicating that the chaos is about to end.

It would be inappropriate for our family not to show some claws at this time, and it would be inappropriate to show too much. Taking the opportunity to kill some foreign generals is in line with Aye's position all along. Therefore, I think that the Yun family should recall all the people and leave Luoyang immediately at dawn. "

Yun Chu said: "Since you have made your plans, go and prepare."

Yun Jin gave Jin Manru another fierce look and then jumped out of the window.

Yun Chu said to Wen Rou: "Once the Jinwu Guards are dispatched, the Queen's power will prevail."

Wenrou shook her head and said, "In the previous chaos, the Queen suffered the greatest loss of power. Now that the Jinwu Guards are dispatched first, Your Majesty is trying to make peace for the Queen."

After saying that, Wenrou looked at Yunchu and said, "Will the Queen not start with you?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, the Queen will leave soon. We will leave as soon as she leaves. I think we should be able to leave before the Jinwu Guards take control of Luoyang."

Wenrou nodded and said, "That's right, no wonder you settled your home near the city. Now that you've made up your mind, I won't send you off. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to make Luoyang even more chaotic."

Wenrou left, and Jin Manru sat up lazily, adjusted her hair and said, "Take care, my lord. It's time for me to go collect the body of Hwarangtu."

Li Zhi and Xue Rengui drank for half the night, and their appetizer was Luoyang, where fighting was everywhere. When Li Zhi finished the wine in the jug, he did not ask for more wine. He waved his hand and said to Xue Rengui: "I haven't drunk for a long time. Today is an exception. I will go to Jiucheng Palace to rest soon. Can you go to Jiucheng Palace to be my guard again?
I can't sleep without you."

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "It was in Jiucheng Palace that I won the favor of Your Majesty. Now that I am back in Jiucheng Palace, it can be considered a consummation."

Li Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, it is good to have a beginning and an end, but there are still many people in this world who cannot truly make their own circles round."

Li Zhi supported Xue Rengui's broad back and walked down the platform together. The bright moon also disappeared with him.

The moon disappeared, and the sky and the earth were pitch dark, except for the stars which became brighter.

Wu Mei listened to the heavy drumbeats coming from the drum tower, put down the wine glass in her hand, and said to Yu Xiurong: "Very good, I will accept your Yun's favor. If you want to leave, go now. The Jinwu Guards will open the city gate for you."

Yu Xiurong smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already allowed Yun to leave on her own. After the Queen returns to the palace, Yun will also be on her way home."

"You really won't come to Luoyang in the future?"

"No, the murderous aura here is too strong."

"What a pity."

"It's not a pity. There is no place for the Yun family to stay in Luoyang."

After suffering from diarrhea for an hour, Taiping looked listless. Out of kindness, Taiping did not tell her mother about her diarrhea. She could see that her mother was very worried tonight and probably could not pay attention to her.

Besides, her diarrhea has stopped.

When she said goodbye to Yunluan, she said to her, "Remember how good I was to you."

Yun Luan asked, "How have you been nice to me?"

Taiping said: "Just because I stayed with you all night, you should be grateful to me."

Yun Luan said: "Didn't I stay with you all night?"

Taiping raised a finger and poked Yunluan's belly vigorously, saying, "You are really good, but you are too ugly. Otherwise, it would be nice to be my consort."
