Zhen Guo Princess GL

My inner house in the Palace Province is said to be a "house", but it is actually very small. At first, my father considered that I was married and reserved a room in the Ming Fu Yuan for me. It was prepared for me when I attended the ceremony or entered the palace. Use—Of course, this room is not for me in name only, but for "all close relatives who are infirm and inconvenient to go in and out", and I have hardly used this room, either directly going to the inner court to rest, or with All the aunts and great-aunts were waiting together in the main courtyard—after my mother ascended the throne, the house reserved for me was not cancelled, but expanded a bit, separated in the middle, and became two rooms, one big and the other. During the winter solstice and other big court gatherings, it is too far to live at home, and if you live in the palace, you are afraid of the inconvenience of going in and out before dawn, so you can live here directly, saving a lot of time for internal and external travel.For this reason, the palace called it "Changle Yuan" very bluntly.Although the deacon in the courtyard received the salary from the provincial government, he only obeyed the orders of Wang Xianxian and Pei Lansheng.

It was already dark when I sat in the small hall outside. The patrolling guards held lamps in their hands and kept going to and from the door. However, after I came, they suddenly changed their route quietly, not from the door, but from outside the women’s courtyard. Passing by, Xianxian said that this is an established patrol route. When a certain time comes, seeing lights are on here, I have to avoid it, so as not to disturb the female relatives, but I unconsciously panicked, and ordered Xianxian and Feng Yongshou Waiting at the door, not allowed to leave for a moment, "If you hear unusual movements, you must come in immediately", then took the short knife and put it on the table, thought about it, it was not right, it was not right to press it on the seat, and finally I still lifted the skirt and tied it on my calf. Just after it was tied, there was already a whisper outside the door: "Cui Xianggong is here." I hurriedly put down the skirt, sat on the chair solemnly, and solemnly nodded to Cui Xiu with a smile.

Cui Xiu came in with a smile, not ignoring etiquette because of the time and place, seeing each other, she deliberately didn't sit in the closest place to me, but separated a table, and when the fairy served the fruit drink, she asked with a smile if I could have some tea, I felt a little more at ease, and looked at Cui Xiu carefully.

Speaking of which, he has known me for a long time, and he is already the prime minister. I should be very familiar with him, but one is that I meet too many people on weekdays. She didn't have any intention of being close, and the relationship with him was purely because of Cui Mingde, so she never looked at him seriously, but after looking at him now, she realized why her mother only took a fancy to him among many people: there are many romantic men in court People with outstanding looks can be found everywhere, but no one is as refined and bookish as Cui Xiu, who is both internal and external. Just looking at him reminds me of a famous "uncle" actor in my previous life. I can't remember his name, only vaguely remember the surname Chen, but I can't forget the actor's temperament, and the story of his anchor wife's angry resignation from CCTV.Compared with this actor, Cui Xiu has more strategizing spirit of ministers and ministers - like Cui Mingde - which made me unconsciously want to put on the airs of the protagonist, but I dare not treat him as a minister.

Cui Xiu drank the tea and looked more energetic. She didn't rush to talk to me about the business, so she smiled and said: "I have always heard that the inner court brews tea without adding salt or spice. The tea leaves are boiled in clean water without any other Things, to seek the original taste of tea? Taste it today, it is really elegant.”

I wondered: "This method is widely spread, Cui Gong has never tried it?"

Cui Xiu put down the teacup with a smile: "It's not easy for the nobles of Tianhuang to see it. How can the servants get and taste the imperial offerings?"

We understand that he is talking about the things he couldn't meet the previous time: "There is a reason for not being able to attend the appointment that day. It was not good to send someone to explain to you immediately. It must be my fault for keeping you waiting for a long time."

Cui Xiu smiled, took out a letter from her bosom, and took out a piece of paper from the letter, got up and handed it to me with both hands: "Er Niang asked me to give it to the princess."

I was stunned and realized that he wasn't calling me. I took the letter and saw that it was written in Cui Mingde's handwriting. I only said two things: the war will be finished before the end of the year, and I will ask you to add more information about the military needs and the direction of the court. Pay attention, please discuss the following matters with Cui Xiu and others in advance; the current situation is very special, although I was told to stay still before, but don't be rigid when it is time to take action.

The tone of the letter was very unusual, I unconsciously frowned and looked at Cui Xiu: "The two of them are in the frontier... Is everything all right?"

Cui Xiu shook his head lightly and said: "Duke Luonan couldn't get sick before, and the Chinese army didn't dare to move rashly, so they had to stick to the fortress. The former army also had some scruples. I haven't heard the news yet, but according to the letter, it has already been sent out." Sending someone to report the letter to the capital, presumably His Majesty has already known about it, but there has been no clear text. I think the situation in the frontier is good, but there is no definite news from Luonan Gong. Just in case."

I counted the time of the letter, and compared it with the footsteps of the military newspaper, I immediately shuddered: "Your Majesty was ill at the time, and most of the state affairs were left between the prime minister, the king of Wei, the king of Liang, and me. As a result of such a big matter, you and me But don't you know?"

Cui Xiu chuckled: "Because the matter is so important, neither the princess nor a certain one knows about it, and it is expected that King Wei and King Liang also don't know about it."

I unconsciously reached out to look for my tea cup, and when I got it, I remembered that A Huan didn't let me drink tea after noon, so these days I served fruit drinks at night: "I understand the logistics of the military supplies, and everything else after that, What do you mean?" The borderlands are bitterly cold, and Dugu Yuankang is old and sick, so he probably won't be able to survive this winter in the borderlands. Therefore, whether it is for filial piety to his father or for the situation of the court, Dugu Shao must end this battle before the cold winter. For this reason, we can only ask the court for additional personnel and supplies. However, we have already made long-term plans. With such a reminder, the outcome of this war will be unpredictable. "What happens next"... I hope it is not me As expected.

Fortunately, Cui Xiuxian explained to me: "Princess, don't worry, Erniang is used to planning ahead, and 'afterwards', she may not think that this battle cannot be won. In fact, this battle, no matter whether it is won or not, there will be a battle between the two courts." It’s a big fight—if you don’t win, you should think about who the next commander will be, and how Erniang and Liuniang should deal with each other; if you win, then you should think about the situation in the court and who will have the military power.”

If I realize something: "Nowadays there are Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, Tang Xiujing and others in the frontier, who hold heavy soldiers, and Li Zhaode is demoted and reused. The courtiers are fighting for the grandsons to leave the cabinet. If your majesty wants to sit in peace, you must be checks and balances."

Cui Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Among the kings of the Wu clan, it is impossible for King Wei to lead the army. For the rest, King Liang and King Hejian are the most familiar with military affairs. Then Liuniang and Erniang... may be difficult to protect themselves. If it is the king of Liang, it will be difficult. Others are not prestigious enough, but it is better. As long as Liuniang is called back to the capital in the name of filial piety, although he has to bear some guilt, he will always No big blame. Of course, it would be the best if they could win. The ministers who were close to the Li family regarded her as a violation of the norms and refused to accept them. Your Majesty is relieved to be in charge of the army. If you can win a big victory, it will be of great use."

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Cui Xiu and said, "Did Cui Mingde have such a plan before she went out? Knowing that Luo Nangong is old and frail, there may be many accidents on the way, so I have to take a gamble with Dugu Shao personally." ?”

Cui Xiu smiled slightly, and answered irrelevantly: "Er Niang has been calm and decisive since she was a child, and she rarely changes what she decides. Only for the sake of Sixteen Niang, she made an exception again and again."
