Chapter 82: In the city of Chang'an, the storm gradually rises
In the evening, several carriages slowly drove forward. In that direction, you could vaguely see a dark shadow in the city pier, but the distance was too far away. Even if you look hard, you could not make the shadow clear.
The carriage convoy stopped in a town outside the city. The carriage was very luxurious and the cavalry escorted was even more huge. At first glance, there were at least three or five hundred people. The carriage stopped. A maid lifted the curtain and revealed a pretty and almost perfect face. Princess Tang Yun.
Hundreds of cavalry dismounted and welcomed the princess to get off the car. This place was the last stop before entering Chang'an. In the past half month, the princess had been going through many twists and turns and finally arrived outside Chang'an City. She looked up at the capital that had been away for many years. A smile appeared on her face. A gentle smile seemed to be like a cardamom flower blooming.
Although she was a little impatient and wanted to enter the capital as soon as possible, she had no choice but to stay here for the rest of the night because the envoys from the capital, the representatives of the court officials and the complicated princess ceremonies were waiting outside the city for the princess return a few days ago.
The second carriage slowly drove over at this time, and the curtains were lifted a corner. Old man Ning Qing gently tilted his gray beard. Unfortunately, his slender white beard had already been cut off half during the battle, and now it looked inappropriate.
The princess settled in the inn, which is a unique station in the royal family.
Ning Qing was a great practitioner, the censor of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, and the princess’s guard. Naturally, he followed the princess into the inn.
There is no snow in Chang'an City. It is not that there is no snow in Chang'an City. It is not that there is no snow in Chang'an City this year. It has melted a lot. Now Chang'an has entered spring, but the first spring rain that is as expensive as oil has not yet arrived.
"Old Ning, drink tea and warm your body."
The princess respects Ning Qing very much, not only respects the old man, but also because Ning Qing is a great practitioner. She personally poured a cup of tea for Ning Qing and handed it to Ning Qing.
Ning Qing is old, and he is the one who cares about the most respect for superiors and inferiors. Facing the princess’ tea, he immediately took it with both hands, knelt on one knee, and said flatteredly: "Your Highness, you can't do anything, old minister..."
"No," the princess grabbed Ning Qing and said, "Old Ning, you see that I have been growing up and traveled thousands of miles to Changling County to pick me up this kindness. How could a cup of tea be grateful for?"
The princess said sincerely, at least with a sincere expression, Ning Qing stood up, sighed, and said, "Then, old minister, I feel ashamed!"
The princess smiled slightly, sat in front of Ning Qing, poured a cup of tea, and did not drink it, but placed it on the table, raised her head and looked at Ning Qing, and said, "Old Ning, do you have any plans in the future?"
"Plan?" Ning Qing frowned and said, "The old minister is already at this age, what else can he have?"
"I have been back to Beijing for five years. I think my younger brother Mo Yi has grown up, and my father is a little old. I need to make another plan!"
The princess still had a smile on her face and her tone was calm, but when it fell to Ning Qing's ear, it seemed to have a violent murderous intent, which scared her hands to tremble.
The heavenly family is ruthless,
He has been in the capital for the rest of his life and has seen too much. How can he not understand the meaning of Tang Yun’s words?
The emperor has passed fifty years, but he has never appointed a prince. Tang Moyi, the emperor's brother of the third princess Tang Yun and the first concubine, is now almost thirty years old and is one of the candidates for the prince.
When Tang Yun came back, she naturally had to make plans. There was only one plan to support her younger brother to become the crown prince.
But Tang Yun mentioned this in front of Ning Qing now, and was forcing Ning Qing to take the team. But he was already half buried. Is it necessary to do this?
However, when Qilingyi defended the enemy and Weicheng invited troops, he asked Tang Yun to go. Tang Yun also went there for a lifetime!
Ning Qing was very confused. He suddenly remembered Gu Qingci. I wonder what would happen if this young man whom he admired would be like to react in the face of such a thing?
Tang Yun did not ask questions. She knew that too much was not enough, so she smiled and said, "Old Ning, what do you think of Gu Qingci?"
Ning Qing was in sorrow, and with a step, he naturally stepped up and immediately spoke: "Mr. Gu... is the only young man that the old minister admires for so many years. He is strong and arrogant, with a righteous man, and is also a very strategic person. He is a rare talent."
"It's really rare to evaluate this." Tang Yun held the teacup in her hand and said softly: "I'm very curious about this person. He should wake up now and come to Chang'an soon. At that time, he should have a good contact."
Ning Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It may not be easy for Your Highness to recruit Lord Gu..."
Ning Qing and Gu Qingci did not have a deep contact, but he was deeply touched by Gu Qingci. He felt that Gu Qingci did not look like a person who could be suppressed. Gu Qingci's personality was more like a man from the martial arts world. He was not suitable for Gu Qingci in the officialdom.
However, Ning Qing could not finish his words, and a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door, and a guard reported: "Report to Princess Princess, Secretary Ma asked for a visit!"
Tang Yun and Ning Qing both raised their eyebrows, and Ma Dongyang was not at the right time.
The Minister of Rites Ma Dongyang was the representative of the court officials who welcomed the princess this time. Tang Yun was a little shocked when she first learned that it was Ma Dongyang. This was very unreasonable. Ma Dongyang was a first-class Minister of Rites and would not have come to welcome a princess.
Now that Ma Dongyang is suddenly visiting, it is basically confirmed that the situation may be a bit special.
Tang Yun met Ma Dongyang.
She was not familiar with Ma Dongyang and was not unfamiliar with it. When she was in the capital in the early years, the two met many times. After many years, when she saw Ma Dongyang again, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. Suddenly, she remembered that she saw Ma Zhibai, who was very proud of scholars at Qilingyi. It was really carved out of the same mold as his father.
"My memory, Ma Dongyang pays homage to the princess." Ma Dongyang immediately held a tribute when he saw the princess.
Although Tang Yun was arrogant and a royal princess, she didn't have much capital in front of Yipin Shangshu. She said softly: "Shangshu Ma doesn't have to be too polite. I wonder what's important if you suddenly visit?"
Tang Yun was straightforward, which made Ma Dongyang slightly stunned, but he was just slightly stunned, feeling a little moved. No wonder he heard that the third princess returned to Beijing and the princes in the capital were a little panicked. This princess's methods were indeed clever and could take the initiative in just one sentence, which caught him off guard.
If it were on weekdays, Ma Dongyang might have to take the initiative back, but when he thought of this purpose, he said directly: "His princess has just returned from Changling County, do you know that Changling County is honored by Gu Qingci?"
"Natural!" Tang Yun said: "I have had an intersection with him."
Tang Yun didn't say much, and it came to an abrupt end just right.
