At this moment, King Yan was in a very complicated mood.
Of course, more anger.
He couldn't understand why Princess Yan dared to treat him like this
You know, without him, Princess Yan is nothing.
Once upon a time, Princess Yan relied on the Xu family and the old lady of the Xu family as her backer. She was often submissive to her husband and was not wholehearted enough.
Now, this woman has fallen out with Mrs. Xu, and he has become her only support. Under such circumstances, shouldn't this woman try her best to please him
But now, it's clear that this woman doesn't even take him seriously.
Why should she? How dare she
The more King Yan thought about it, the more angry he became.
He really couldn't figure it out.
…
Princess Yan didn't expect that King Yan would be thinking about these things in her heart. If she knew, she would definitely laugh until her stomach hurts. She has no backer, but she just dares.
She has gone to the Huai En Temple and experienced life that is worse than death. What else does she have to fear
At first, she was really scared, so scared that she was almost crazy.
But when she realized that fear was useless, Princess Yan's thoughts changed.
Since "fear" can't change anything, then why should we still be afraid? As for the backer? But pull him down, his backing will fall, and he will rely on everyone to run. No one in this world can be relied on.
Princess Yan, who has clear thoughts, is now fearless and strong without desire.
…
In the Dingguo Palace, the eldest princess lay lazily on the couch, looking at a series of intelligence information in front of her.
This information was collected by her through various channels, covering all aspects.
From Emperor Yongping's personal expedition in Jingbian City, Qifeng Prefecture, to Duke Dingguo leading troops to Xuejiguan to conquer the barbarians, and even Jie Yun Dao's plan to establish a kingdom in the southwest, the aristocratic families were preparing to cause trouble... All the big and small things in the Tang Dynasty, It can't be hidden from the eyes of the eldest princess.
"This nephew of mine is really stupid!"
After summarizing all the intelligence information, the eldest princess sighed quietly.
Although he knew that his personal expedition failed, he still stayed in Jingbian City for the sake of face. Is this what a wise emperor should do
Distributing a small group of soldiers and horses to fight with the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the field may seem like a clever move, but it is actually even stupider.
It is not impossible to win by relying on equipment, but the premise is that you must have a wise general.
Just like the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the generals of the North and South Battalions who were lying on their backs, they were all like quails. How could they lead their people to fight against the northern barbarians who were risking their lives
When two armies fight, those who dare to die and those who fear death, the result will inevitably be the victory of the one who dares to die.
"Your Highness, the latest battle report at Xueji Pass!"
Just when the eldest princess was thinking about how to clean up the mess, and even take this opportunity to ascend to the ninth position, an urgent report came from outside the door.
"Enter!"
Today's eldest princess has slightly changed the rules in her yard.
Of course, this is not because her temper has improved, but after experiencing an assassination and the tragic death of her substitute, the eldest princess has raised the security around her by several levels.
In her courtyard, there were nearly a hundred female guards hiding.
Soon, the latest battle report from Xueji Pass was delivered to the eldest princess.
"Trash, trash!"
Seeing the information in the battle report, the eldest princess directly lifted the Kang table.
Snow Jiguan, savages invade the territory.
Neither Emperor Yongping nor the entire Tang Dynasty thought this was a serious matter. After all, to them, savages were uncivilized beasts.
After all, Duke Xu Shuo of Dingguo was also a battle-hardened man, and with the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fully armed, it would not be too easy to deal with such a group of savages.
But now the battle report is that Xu Shuo, the Duke of Dingguo, was defeated and the army was defeated like a mountain.
Almost all the army and horses under the command of Xu Shuo were destroyed. If Xu Shuo had not escaped quickly, he, the Duke of Dingguo, would have been captured by the barbarians.
The savages broke through the Snow Ji Pass again, but this time, the savages did not retreat directly to the Snowy Mountains, but went all the way south, broke through three cities in a row, and plundered tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.
"Right away, tell King Yu the news!"
The eldest princess thought for a moment and asked someone to inform King Zong Lingyu of the Zongren Mansion about the defeat of Duke Ding Xu Shuo.
The news of Duke Ding's defeat has not yet reached the court, but the eldest princess has received the news. If this news spreads, it will be enough for many people to be afraid of the eldest princess.
A princess has access to sources of information that even the princes of the current dynasty don't have. What does she want to do
…
When the eldest princess was arranging for someone to deliver the news to King Yu, Du Qingruo, the saint of the luck path, appeared in the eldest princess's bedroom.
"Don't you think this is a good opportunity, Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Du Qingruo was worthy of being the saint of luck-taking path, and her methods were also very mysterious. Even though the eldest princess arranged nearly a hundred female guards in the courtyard, they still could not stop Du Qingruo from entering and exiting at will.
"Du Qingruo, are you forcing me to get rid of you?"
The eldest princess was really afraid of this saintly girl who could appear in front of her without anyone noticing.
"Your Highness, don't say angry words!"
Du Qingruo smiled slightly, "Now, shouldn't we work together to reach a consensus?"
"snort!"
The eldest princess snorted coldly, the murderous intention in her heart getting stronger.
If she wants to ascend to the highest position in the Tang Dynasty, she must ensure that she can stay alive. No matter how ambitious a dead person may be, it is all in vain.
"Your Majesty the Princess, we in the Jie Yun Dao only want to have a small independent country in this world, and have no intention of competing for the orthodoxy of the world. We should not be enemies!"
Du Qingruo is a master, so he can naturally feel the murderous intention of the eldest princess, but she is really not afraid of death.
"Tell me, what do you have in mind?"
The eldest princess restrained her murderous intent slightly, but the look in her eyes at Du Qingruo was still unfriendly.
Du Qingruo didn't know that it was unwise for her to appear in front of the eldest princess like this, but she had to do this. She had to make the eldest princess throw herself at the enemy.
Seeking skin from a tiger is no simple matter.
If Du Qingruo wants to achieve his goal, he cannot do without the cooperation of the eldest princess. Of course, she would not directly tell the eldest princess what her real goal was, and she was not that stupid.
"I think it's time to let King Yan know about King Yun!"
Du Qingruo could pretend that the hatred of killing his father and his mother didn't exist if he didn't believe in King Yan.
What's more, the late emperor and the queen mother have been fooling King Yan into thinking he is a fool.
"Over the Northern Barbarians, the emperor's personal expedition was unsuccessful and Xueji Pass was defeated. As long as the emperor still has some brains, he will immediately use King Yan."
"As long as King Yan takes control of the military..."
Du Qingruo didn't finish his words, his eyes fell on the eldest princess and smiled slightly.
With the revenge of killing his husband and his mother, and with military power in his hands, what would King Yan do? (End of chapter)
