Chapter 206 208 [The melancholy in the heart of the princess]

Unlike the bustling Forbidden Army camp, the Forbidden Army Tournament Registration Office is deserted.Yuan Pengfei stood by and watched for a long time. Almost no honored children came to participate, and only a small number of civilian children signed up.

He reported his name and asked a few more questions by the way.The little official in charge of the registration didn't dare to offend him, so he gave him an answer very respectfully: up to the time of his registration, the only ones with higher status were the captain of the cavalry, Junshi, and Prince Lunes of Kang.

In this way, none of the strong competitors signed up.If nothing else happened, the other imperial guards were all studying with the prince, and the martial arts competition was for these two people.

"Brother Yuan, Captain Junshi wants to play polo with Prince Kang, and it's in Liyuan, let's go and see?" Li Feiying ran over excitedly and asked.

The invention of polo began in the Han Dynasty and became common in the Tang Dynasty.This is a very confrontational competitive sport, very popular with the aristocracy.

The Liyuan polo field has just been built. It is generally rectangular, with a circumference of one thousand steps, surrounded by low walls on all sides.

A row of high platforms was built in the north as the auditorium, and a pavilion was built in the best viewing position, where Princess Mingyue stood to watch the game.

At this time, neither the qiūcí music played by the band nor the fierce competition below attracted her attention.

She didn't care too much about Prince Kang, she just treated him like a passerby.It's just that they didn't expect that the two of them would draw a marriage thread between them by mistake.

Her father did not agree to this marriage at all, and he only had her as his daughter. If she married far away to the Western Regions, it would basically mean a farewell.

But it is impossible to intercede without paying a price. How can Her Majesty the Empress say so?

But the price of wanting to change the ending was unbearable for his father.

Today, the Holy Majesty is still there, but because of his frailty and sickness, part of his authority has been absorbed by Her Majesty the Empress.

There are no two suns in the sky, and no two kings in the country.

The highest power cannot be shared. His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress have their own games against each other, and the ministers below are forced to stand in line.

Either they stand on the side of the queen or the side of the emperor. Of course, there are also those who stand in the middle, but sooner or later they will have to take sides. People who form a faction alone will not end well.

His father is an old minister who followed Taizong, and has always been Li's hardcore son, so he still has some influence.Her Majesty the Queen wanted to take this opportunity to beat him and force him to change teams.

Princess Mingyue understood that it was very important to stand in line.The consequences of standing in the wrong team would not only be as simple as her marrying far away to the Western Regions, but also the whole family would be ruined.

Just last year, Taizong's eldest brother-in-law, grandson Wuji, was falsely accused of treason by Xu Jingzong, exiled to Qianzhou, and forced to hang himself to death.

You know, that is also the uncle of the current emperor, the prime minister, Zhao Guogong, who can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people, how could he rebel?
Obviously, this is the result of a failed power struggle.She had also heard her father say in private that Xu Jingzhong belonged to Her Majesty the Queen, and it was her who ordered the false accusation.

Because in the sixth year of Yonghui, the Holy Majesty wanted to make Wu Zhaoyi the queen, but was almost made unable to step down by a group of ministers led by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although Wu Zhaoyi has a big heart, she has a small heart. Since then, the feud between the two of them has been settled.

Of course, His Majesty's acquiescence was indispensable for this matter. Changsun Wuji had taken too much power and threatened the emperor's rule.

This time, Her Majesty's strategy was used on her.

She knew that if her father voted for Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince of Kang would never get No. 1, and she would not have to marry far away from the Western Regions.

And if her father hadn't done that, everyone who participated in the Forbidden Army Tournament would be angry, and she and Chang'an City would say goodbye forever.

At this time, her heart was melancholy.

Rationally speaking, it is impossible for her father to change his mind and change teams just because of her.But she still had a small hope in her heart, hoping that her father would change his mind for her and let her stay.

She didn't want to leave the prosperous city of Chang'an, go to the wild lands of the Western Regions, and marry a barbarian.

It's just that this hope is difficult to realize.

"what!"

The servant girl beside her uttered an exclamation, which woke Princess Mingyue up. She pointed at the man who had fallen off the horse on the field, "Princess, look, Prince Kang has fallen off his horse."

Princess Mingyue remained calm, fell off the horse, why didn't she fall to her death?It also saves her from worrying.

Lunes, who was lying on the ground covering his arms, didn't care about the pain in his body. His eyes stayed on Princess Mingyue's face, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart: "Why is this woman so hard to chase! Could it be A woman with a heart like a stone?"

Junshi's admiration for Princess Mingyue has been hidden in his heart for several years.So he was particularly hostile to this competitor who popped up suddenly.

Just now, I deliberately played a trick to snatch the barbarian's ball, and let him fall off the horse by the way, in order to make him look ugly in front of the princess, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Sweeping the expression of the princess, he said to Lunes: "Prince Kang, you can't even play polo well, let's forget about the martial arts competition in the imperial army! You know, there are many talents in the imperial army, and there are many people who are better than me. A few. If you were accidentally beaten to death, it would be a shame."

Runes did not let his men support him, and stood up with his arms folded, "Captain Junshi, for Princess Mingyue, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are, I will not give up. I must get No. 1 in the Forbidden Army Competition. of."

After finishing speaking, he took one last look at Princess Mingyue and left with his servants.

Back in the dressing room, the entourage who followed him all the way to Chang'an persuaded: "Your Highness, why don't we give up, the Tang Dynasty will not let us marry Princess Mingyue away.

The Forbidden Army is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty, and the competition is based on actual combat simulations, which is extremely dangerous.If you don't do it well, you will lose your life there, His Royal Highness, the body of ten thousand gold, is not worth it! "

Runes glanced at him and endured the pain and said: "I must marry Princess Mingyue. Before the competition begins, you speed up recruiting warriors. As long as you can help me gain a little advantage, then you will do it at all costs." .”

The follower could only agree, but was a little disappointed in his heart.The princess of the Tang Dynasty is certainly beautiful, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but as a prince, he should not lose his mind for the sake of beauty.

Even if such a person becomes a king, he will not be a good king, and his future will be limited.

It's just a dignified prince, is he as superficial as he thought?
