Chapter five hundred and eighty first complex capital into the city(1/2)
Wan Chun's identity in the Anxi Army Camp was a bit embarrassing.
She is a princess, but she is quite arrogant. Although she is not bad-hearted, she always gives people a sense of distance. Even in front of her beloved husband Gu Qing, her posture is very high.
Sometimes after Wan Chun said many words to Gu Qing, she hated herself very much. Just like a girl who was worried about gains and losses in love, she worked hard to be proud in front of Gu Qing, and returned to her tent. She could review every conversation with Gu Qing word by word, and then she humbly reflected on gains and losses, summarized her experience, and strive to make excellence next time, and communicated with level, style, and soul.
A princess with a noble status is actually a pitiful person in wishful love.
"It's autumn in Chang'an City. The century-old ginkgo tree in Guanyin Zen Temple outside the city should be full of golden ground. The tree in the temple was planted by Emperor Taizong himself. When I was a child, I liked to go there to play. In the late autumn, I stepped on the golden ground with barefoot, soft and comfortable, and I felt like I was in a painting..." Wan Chun smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with a bright light of longing.
Gu Qing whispered: "The Anxi Army will enter Chang'an City tomorrow, and the entire Guanzhong has basically been recovered. If Your Highness wants to go to Guanyin Temple to appreciate the ginkgo, I can send my personal guards to escort Your Highness."
Wan Chun glanced at him, sighed quietly, and said, "What is important is not to appreciate ginkgo, but..."
Since losing the virgin boy, Gu Qing seemed to have learned his mind. At this time, he actually understood the unfinished meaning of Wanchun's words, but he could not respond, so he had to pretend to be stupid and silent.
After the two were silent for a long time, Wan Chun said again: "After the Anxi Army entered Chang'an, will they all return to the government after welcoming the emperor?"
"Of course."
"Where is the Father? Do you welcome the Father?" Wan Chun continued to ask.
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course I am willing to welcome the Supreme Emperor, but I am just the commander of the army. Whether to welcome the Supreme Emperor or not, what kind of etiquette should be the affairs of the court's rituals, so I am not inconvenient to interrupt."
Wan Chun smiled with a complicated expression and said, "You are very humble. Who doesn't know that you, Gu Qing, hold a heavy army today? Even if the emperor returns to Chang'an, you must first look at your face. During my days in the Anxi Army camp, how the soldiers talk about the imperial court, don't I know?"
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I hold heavy troops in order to suppress the rebellion, and it is also allowed by the court. Why does Your Highness make such a punitive statement? I have no intention of rebelling against the Emperor of Tang."
Wan Chun said relentlessly: "So, after quelling the rebellion, will you dare to hand over the military power of the Anxi Army?"
Gu Qing said calmly: "Your Highness is a princess, so naturally not an ordinary woman. I believe that your Highness is a situation in the world and sees the disputes in the court more clearly than ordinary people. I dare to ask your Highness, do you want me to hand over the military power?"
This is not a question of giving away points, this is a question of giving away.
Wan Chun understood the meaning of Gu Qing's words. Li Heng would not tolerate him when he handed over military power. Gu Qing had no other way to go except to die. In Li Heng's eyes, Gu Qing was a tiger in the world. No matter whether he had military power or not, as long as he climbed up and called, it would be a storm that swept the world, so Gu Qing had to die.
If the military power is not handed over, the Tang Dynasty court will always have the disaster of Gu Qing. The greater the military power, the deeper the disaster. When he reaches Gu Qing's position, even if he does nothing, the soldiers below and the civil servants who surrender to him will force him to do something. People in high positions will also be involuntarily.
Wanchun was confused and looked in a struggle or not.
Seeing her face changing constantly, Gu Qing couldn't help but smile: "Don't struggle, it seems that it's up to you to decide whether I'm going to hand over the military power. I'm so arrogant. Your Highness probably can't control my decision."
Wan Chun collapsed his shoulders in dismay, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked and said, "I can't make your decision, but no matter what decision you make, I will be sad... Gu Qing, how great it would be if I didn't know you."
Gu Qing lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "If we hadn't met each other, your life would be happier than now. Your father would give you a gentle gentleman to be your husband. Your life is carefree and indulging in love with singing and dancing. Until you grow old, you are still like an innocent child..."
Wan Chun smiled in tears: "Is this kind of life really interesting when I live until I grow old?"
"It's much more interesting than being sad and difficult for you at this moment."
Wan Chun became more and more sad. She found that there was a wide and deep gap between her and Gu Qing. No matter how hard she tried, she could never cross the gap.
She was actually as innocent as a child when she lived in Chang'an City. However, after experiencing war and separation, she was no longer a child.
She saw that under the appearance of love, there were many unavoidable reality, identity, position, family, and helpless enemies and friends.
Having said that, I can only break through this layer of window paper.
"Gu Qing, if one day you and your brother have to face each other with swords, can you... leave my father a way out?"
Gu Qing was stunned and then laughed: "Even you think I will overthrow Li Tang and become the emperor by myself?"
Wan Chun lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "You hold heavy troops in your hands, and the court is now extremely weak. It is easy for you to be an emperor."
Gu Qing sighed: "Those who know me say I am worried. Is it a beautiful job to be an emperor? Why does everyone who has power want to be an emperor?"
Wan Chun stared at him: "Do you don't want to?"
Gu Qing nodded: "I really have no intention of becoming an emperor. Whether you believe it or not, I even hate power. But what I have no choice is that if I want to live in this world, I have to hold power. If I can do something for the people and make this world a real prosperous era, that would be even more satisfying..."
Wan Chun said aloud: "Then my father..."
"Whether your father or your brother, as long as they don't provoke me, I will not do anything to attack the king with ministers. Of course, if they provoke me, I will not kill me. Naturally, if they provoke me, I will also express my nature. Jiangshan has always been surnamed Li, and I hope the Li family can always keep this country. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"
Wan Chun nodded in a vague way.
She said it in a very subtle way, and she seemed to have understood it.
It is impossible to hand over power, and he doesn't want to do anything about rebellion and regicide, so... he wants to become a person like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, and use the emperor to command the princes?
A thought suddenly arose in his heart. Wanchun lowered his head and held back his shame and said softly: "If... if... the father gave me marriage to you, will you reduce many conflicts with my Li family? If possible, I, I... would be willing."
Gu Qing sighed and said, "You think so well. Peace has never had anything to do with marriage. No matter how many daughters you marry, if they want to turn against each other, they will still turn against each other unswervingly. On the contrary, as the daughter of the Li family, if your husband and his parents turn against each other in the future, how should you deal with it?"
"Your Highness, I have been escaping from you and don't want to harm you. In the future, no matter which side you stand on, it will be your lifelong pain and regret. Therefore, it is best not to happen in some stories. Once they happen, we cannot bear the consequences."
Wan Chun understood what he meant, and instantly burst into tears and nodded constantly: "Yes, I understand, I understand."
Gu Qing felt uncomfortable and sighed: "Your Highness, don't blame me..."
While crying, Wan Chun tried to squeeze out a proud smile. She raised her head, choked but said coldly: "What do you blame me? I just want to share my father's worries. If you don't want to, don't mention this matter. Don't be too sentimental. Do you think everyone is worthy of me? A joke!"
After Wan Chun said that, he left with a look of his sleeves. Soon, Gu Qing heard a heart-wrenching cry outside the coach's tent.
Gu Qing sighed heavily.
Huangfu Sisi walked in quickly and said anxiously: "What did you say to His Highness the Princess? Why did she run away crying?"
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Because I'm not sure to give her a promise."
“What promise?”
"A lifetime promise," Gu Qing sighed: "After the emperor returns to Chang'an, the conflict between me and the Li family's royal family will become more and more acute, and even more cruel. Princess Wanchun is stuck in the middle, I will be embarrassed, and she will be in pain."
"Even if His Highness the Princess doesn't marry you, do you think she will be in pain when you conflict with the Li family royal family?"
Gu Qing said helplessly: "Even if I am a scumbag, I carry the lives of 100,000 Anxi soldiers on my shoulders. If one day I cannot draw my sword because of a woman, the soldiers under my command will become the price of my soft heart. They will die for me. How can I bear to be victims of my children's love?"
Huangfu Sisi was silent for a while and said softly: "You are not a scum, on the contrary, you have feelings and righteousness. It's just that things in the world are hard to be both good. I can only choose the most important things and give up. I understand you."
Gu Qing shook his head: "You go and comfort her."
Huangfu Sisi nodded.
Gu Qing suddenly sighed: "It would be great if she was not a princess..."
…………
That night, another scout came to the camp to report the victory.
Li Siye's Modao Camp was ordered to snipe the rebels at the Jingoukou. Nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Modao Camp guarded the Jingoukou. More than 10,000 defeated soldiers still couldn't make any progress after huge casualties.
Qu Huan's troops took advantage of the situation to raid from the rear of the rebels. The two armies, one in front and one behind, slammed the rebels in the middle. They fought bloody battles overnight. More than 10,000 rebels suffered heavy casualties, more than 6,000 dead, and the rest surrendered.
It was almost dawn, Li Siye and Qu Huan returned with great victory, and took more than 8,000 prisoners back to the camp with great ambitions.
The next morning, drums roared in the camp and generals gathered in the generals.
Gu Qing was wearing armor and stood majestic in the middle of the tent, looking around at the energetic generals.
The generals were very excited because today was an extraordinary day.
The war to combat the rebellion in the past two years has reached the turning point of the war today. The Anxi Army is about to recover Chang'an and will soon recover the entire Guanzhong Plain.
The dawn is already far away.
"My generals, we have achieved something for two years to suppress the rebellion today. We are about to recover Chang'an City." Gu Qing said with a smile.
The generals laughed loudly, and the laughter whizzed past the hills like a strong wind.
Looking at the group of wolves and tigers under his command, Gu Qing was also a little excited. He had been in this world for less than ten years, but he didn't expect that he had stood at the peak of this world without realizing it and could look at emperors and generals at the same time.
The person who helped him stand at the top was the brave and lovely generals in front of him.
"Haha, I'm so suffocating. After entering Chang'an City, I'm looking for the most expensive brothel and have sex for three days and three nights!" Li Siye laughed unrestrainedly.
Chen Tian pulled the corner of his mouth and a monophone was sent out contemptuously: "其!"
Li Siye was stunned and stared at him with his eyes wide open: "My surname is Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Tian stretched out his little finger and took out his ears, and said lightly: "It's not interesting, three days and three nights, haha, can you do it?"
The generals burst into laughter and said in unison: "No!"
Li Siye's dark old face suddenly turned purple and he said angrily: "Why can't it work? Have you ever seen Li's majesty? My soldiers in Modao Camp are just one and ten, and the same is true in bed!"
Chen Tian sneered, "I heard that the taller the man, the more he said, the more he was, the more he said. The silver-like wax gun tip seemed glamorous, but in fact it was useless. Haha, three days and three nights? I gave you three breaths and then I surrendered my gun."
After saying that, Chen Tian glanced at Li Siye with malicious intentions, with a very insulting look in his eyes.
The generals laughed again, Li Siye couldn't hold his face anymore, and his burly body stood up, roaring: "My surname is Chen, go out to fight me for 300 rounds, I will teach you how to be a human being!"
While quarreling, Gu Qing said leisurely: "You think I don't exist, right?"
With a gentle sentence, the handsome tent suddenly became quiet. Everyone, including Li Siye and Shen Tian, sat upright with expressionless face.
Gu Qing pointed at Li Siye and Shen Tian and said, "You two, run around the city wall after entering Chang'an City. If you still have the energy to go to the most expensive brothel after the run, I don't object."
The two of them suddenly collapsed, and they glared at each other with a gray look.
Chang'an City is the largest city in the world, with a population of over one million. If a huge city runs around the city wall, it will probably be half gone...
The generals tried hard to hold back their laughter, but they all threw gloating eyes at the two of them.
Gu Qing adjusted his expression and said seriously: "After regaining Chang'an, the Anxi army must not relax. First, we must eliminate the remaining enemies in the city and the ministers who surrendered and lost their integrity. Duan Wuji..."
To be continued...
