Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 329 Chaos Appears
Daozong ordered the prince to preside over the religious affairs, pray for the late empress, and ordered nearly a hundred ladies from aristocratic families to enter the palace to chant sutras.Such a large battle has almost never happened, and it has become a hot topic in the streets and alleys for a while.

The degree of concern by people even exceeds that Dali wants to fight in Kucha.After all, ordinary people like to hear happy and auspicious things in their lives. Who wants to hear about the chaos of war?Even if he wins, what can he do?What does it have to do with ordinary people who should pay taxes and pay taxes, and who should go to work?
So the story of the fire in the palace spread across the streets and alleys almost instantly. At the beginning, it was a pity that the mainstream of Leyi County had a bad year, and even those who were healthy could be burned to death in the palace.Immediately afterwards, it was reported that it was not Princess Leyi who was burned to death, but two maids who were on duty at night.

Princess Leyi has been taken captive, and her whereabouts are unknown!
The news exploded one after another, shocking the world from ear to ear.At first, the prince ordered to keep this matter under wraps, but there were more and more people talking about it privately on the street.Later, it was reported that Princess Leyi had a letter asking for help, and the black hands behind the scenes pointed at the Wu family.

Immediately, it was like a ladle of cold water poured into a pot of hot oil, frying the pot with a splash, and the prince couldn't cover it even if he wanted to.

At this moment, the disappearance of Princess Leyi is no longer a family grievance, and a blind person can see that it is related to military power.What's more, there are many outsiders in teahouses, taverns and even brothels, giving advice.

For a while, in order to get rid of Qing Yuanhou, Marshal Wu ordered his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to kidnap Princess Leyi for the purpose of forcing Qing Yuanhou back to the capital, which became the main argument.

On the other hand, the disappearance of Princess Leyi was a live drama written and directed by Qing Yuanhou and his wife in order to frame Marshal Wu so that Qing Yuanhou could seize the throne.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and people often fought in the streets because they disagreed.

Several casinos even set up bets for the opening of this matter, and everyone in the world was discussing it in panic.But before everyone's dispute came to a conclusion, another shocking news came from hundreds of miles away, Qing Yuanhou died!
When Zhao Tingxuan heard the news, he was writing the Tao Te Ching, his hands shook, and a string of ink dots appeared on the scriptures that he had written for more than two hours.It is precisely on the line that "if the six relatives are not in harmony, there is filial piety; if the country is in chaos, there are loyal ministers".

He burst into tears, the country is in a state of confusion, and there are loyal ministers?If you want to die one after another, and die from the enemy's hand, but die from the cold arrow behind, such a loyal minister will not do it!

After calming down, he felt unbelievable again. How could someone like Qin Xiao die on the marching road without even showing the enemy's face?impossible!
Although he disagrees with Qin Xiao's behavior, Zhao Tingxuan knows him very well.Not only understand his character, but also understand his ability.If he died so easily, it would be impossible for Qin Xiao to become the youngest Marquis in the Dali Dynasty!

It is even more impossible to move to the second and third princes and become the prince's most intimate confidant and important minister by relying on one's own strength.It is even more impossible to win the morale of the army and make tens of thousands of imperial guards follow him wholeheartedly.

Although Shen Dayou's Yu Ze is still there, his own ability should not be underestimated.

But he couldn't tolerate his disbelief, even sending out a few troops, and even mobilizing the hidden lines buried in the army by Mr. Zhao Ge before his death, but the results were the same.

Except for slightly different details, the process and result are largely the same.

After learning that Princess Leyi was kidnapped and received a letter from her, Qin Xiao fell out with Wu Shiheng, and the two split up and went their separate ways.Wu Shiheng led his soldiers and horses out of Hefu to Luochuan according to the original plan, and marched towards Yili, the royal court of Kucha, along the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Logically, Qin Xiao should go through the Raohe River, turn around Shimaling, and then take the Moyang Ancient Road, along the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and cooperate with Wu Shiheng to surround the royal court in Kucha.Unexpectedly, in order to grab merit, he didn't take the ancient road of Moyang. After passing Sima Ridge, he copied the road directly and entered the Huhai Desert.

After this trip, there was no trace of the news. After getting the news, Wu Shiheng was afraid that he would be charged with the crime of being unfavorable for rescue, so he sent out [-] teams of scouts in one day to search along the few oases in the Huhai Desert.

Not to mention that the army and horses were not found, not even a single man or horse was seen. The tens of thousands of troops disappeared like a drop of water evaporated in the desert.

Wu Shiheng was in a hurry now, originally [-] soldiers and horses were not many, but now he cut it in half, with only his [-] soldiers and horses, not to mention surrounding the royal city of Kucha, it is even difficult to protect himself.In desperation, the rear team had to change to the front team, and turned back the same way.They all huddled in the ancient city of Luochuan and waited for the imperial edict.

And during this period, he was not idle.Teams of scouts searched like a net along all the routes that Qin Xiao might have passed.But nothing.When the news came out, Luochuan City was in chaos. The people in the border town who suffered from the war all agreed that Qin Xiao's army must have been taken away by the Black Demon King in the desert with magic.

Of course Wu Shiheng didn't believe this kind of statement, but he couldn't explain Qin Xiao's result that he didn't see people dead or dead.I had no choice but to wait for the court's decree without posting it.

Zhao Tingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got this relatively accurate news.In this way, Qin Xiao can only be regarded as missing, and it cannot be assumed that he is dead.

He stretched out his hand to touch the letter that Qin Xiao gave him when he led the army out of the city, and held the writing knife to open the letter in his hand. After a long time, he put down the writing knife and put the letter away again.

What Qin Xiao said at the time was that he could only open the letter if he was sure that he would never come back again.If he insisted, he would know that he would never come back at this moment, and there was nothing wrong with it.But... Zhao Tingxuan still couldn't get past his conscience.

Being dragged by others is a matter of loyalty, even if that person is Qin Xiao who snatched Xi'er away!

At this moment, Zhao Tingxuan didn't know at all whether he was looking forward to Qin Xiao's return, or whether he was not coming back.Based on his understanding of Qin Xiao, he had vaguely guessed the contents of the letter.If it's as he guessed, if Qin Xiao doesn't come back, he still has a chance to get close to Xi'er again.

But...if Qin Xiao can't come back, how much pain will Xi'er feel?
Zhao Tingxuan sighed for a long time, opened the drawer and took out the letter, pushed the secret compartment and threw it into the deepest part, and locked the secret compartment with his backhand.Lowering his eyes, he looked at the small bronze spoon in his hand, got up and opened the window, and threw it viciously into the lotus pond outside the window.

In the dead of night, the light sound of the key falling into the water was very clear.

With that soft sound, Zhao Tingxuan's excited eyes calmed down bit by bit.The letter was placed within his reach. He was afraid that his personal feelings would outweigh his righteousness, and he would lose control of himself and regret it for the rest of his life.

The bright moon came through the window. Although it was not a full moon, it was as clear as water.Zhao Tingxuan's mood gradually calmed down.

He spread out the pen and paper again, and wrote down all the things that happened in the past few days on the paper one by one.After finishing writing, he was fascinated by the handwriting on the paper, as if he wanted to find out the innumerable connections between those irrelevant events.

Find a way to rescue Jinxi from it.

Since the people behind the scenes are willing to let Jinxi send out two letters, they must be trying to achieve some kind of ulterior secret through these two letters.At present, it seems that Jinxi's letter directly affects the army that conquered Kucha.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, dozens of generals and a deputy commander are missing now!So next, what does this person want to do?

It has to be said that Zhao Tingxuan is extremely talented, and his articles can be full of beautiful flowers and lonely peaks.The strategy of governing the common people can also be written clearly and logically, which will benefit generations.But in terms of conspiracy and tricks to speculate on people's hearts, there is far more than a difference between Zhao Ge and Zhao Ge.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't see the follow-up actions of the people behind the scenes from the rest of the incident.

After thinking about it all night, I still have no clue.He sighed, and finally understood why old Zhao Ge was said to be a minister capable of governing the world, but not a pillar in troubled times.

Rubbing his sore and swollen forehead, he was about to go back to his room to sleep for a while, when Qiu Shi came in with a bowl of hot barley porridge, looking at the tired Zhao Tingxuan, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Auntie knows you love the princess , I want to rescue her early, but you have to cherish your own body!"

"It's all my fault, I made my aunt worry!" Zhao Tingxuan got up quickly, took the porridge bowl with both hands, and helped Qiu Shi to sit down.

Qiu glanced at the table, and he sighed again at the things that he had studied all night, "Princess Leyi doesn't know what's going on, but a good person is born with so many disasters. Even a stable life is difficult." Can’t make it through! The men are fighting each other, and the fight is over, what kind of bait are you using women for?”

Zhao Tingxuan, who was eating porridge, froze, immediately put down the porcelain spoon, and looked eagerly at Qiu Shi, "Auntie, do you know something? Please tell me!"

Qiu Shi was startled, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"

Just say it casually?Zhao Tingxuan's obvious expression of disbelief made Qiu feel dumbfounded, so he could only explain: "When you marry, follow your father and then marry your husband. A woman depends on a man for the rest of her life. Princess Leyi is already married, and the honor and disgrace of her whole body is not entirely on Qing Yuanhou's body. ?”

"The young couple just got married, and there is no concubine in Qingyuan Hou. Who would go to the palace to kill and set fire to the palace for the sake of Princess Leyi? So, this person is afraid to use Princess Leyi Be a bait to harm Qing Yuanhou."

Zhao Tingxuan nodded again and again, "I think so too! However, Marquis Qing Yuan is now leading an expedition. If he is defeated, it will not benefit the court at all!"

"Stupid child!" Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, "Those on the same boat may not all be of the same mind. You are very wrong when you say that it is not beneficial to the court. Don't say that there are many sects in the court. How many people care about the self-interest of all parties?" The country's righteousness. Even the clan may not be of the same mind..."

imperial clan?Zhao Tingxuan's eyes lit up instantly, maybe Qiu Shi was just talking casually, but to him it was seeing the sun behind the clouds.Things that I hadn't figured out all night became extremely clear in an instant.

He put down the porridge bowl with a snap, didn't even bother to rinse his mouth, got up and walked outside.

Qiu Shi supported the door frame and watched his hurried back, unable to regain consciousness for a while.I really don't know if I did it right or wrong.

Mrs. Dong asked her to repeat what she told her. Could it be that these few ambiguous words can really point out her own nephew who is too upright?To fulfill the last wish that the father-in-law failed to fulfill before his death?
Zhao Tingxuan didn't realize that Qiu's remark was beyond her vision at all, and got into the carriage excitedly, and when he arrived at the gate of the Prince's East Palace, he suddenly calmed down.

Sitting in the carriage and pondering for a while, he finally ordered, "Go to Dali Temple!"
