Chapter 25 Scars

Princess Taiping's expression was relatively calm and majestic from beginning to end, and the will he issued was also very smooth.

But I am afraid that only Xue Chongxun around her could feel her panic: after the attack, he mobilized the troops from several counties and towns around him, and most of them went for nothing. Some troops were notified that the war was over and they were about to withdraw their base...

If arranged reasonably, there is no need to disturb so many places without expending money.

There were many people standing in the Changchun Hall, including palace maids, eunuchs, officials, generals, staff and literati, and several imperial physicians.

But Princess Taiping obviously didn't want to see these people, so she pulled a curtain in front of the screen seat, separating her from a few people inside.

There was no emotion on her face, but the people around her could sense her tired look and talk less, as if she was thinking about something.

Maybe there is a kind of fear?

However, Xue Chongxun, who was actually stabbed, had no feeling at all...

He had long been numb to this kind of thing, and sat in a relaxed manner on the soft collapse beside the throne, and an imperial physician was checking his injuries.

Half of his clothes were taken off, one arm and half of his back was exposed, and the old man was allowed to whip there.

He looked a little absent-minded, thinking about the key points of this emergency, and was always looking for such things...

After thinking about something else, the pain in the wound felt much lighter.

Suddenly, Princess Taiping's voice said: Why do you have so many injuries on your body?

Ah？

Xue Chongxun came to his senses and turned to look at his bare shoulders. A long scar could be seen on his armour. It was the hole that was hung by his armor when he fell off his horse during the Battle of Wuhai. It was actually just a skin trauma; there was also a scar behind his left shoulder.

It was not a serious injury at first, but the medical conditions in this era were limited, and there was no condition for maintenance in the military camps in Helong at that time, so it was easy to leave traces.

Xue Chongxun smiled casually and said: The Battle of Wuhai is left behind.

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intent. Xue Chongxun soon found that the two eunuchs standing beside him showed a look of awe on their faces. Only then did he realize that this kind of scar is a show of military achievements.

No wonder when those veterans brag about their younger generations, their favorite thing is to strip off their shirts and let others see the ugly scars on their bodies...

Perhaps every trace is a commemoration of a bloody battle and evidence of heroism.

Princess Taiping's expression also flashed with a trace of undetectable strangeness, but she quickly recovered from indifference. Last time you said that your knees could not bend, I thought it was nothing serious at the time... How did you fight? How many arrows were injured on your body?

Xue Chongxun didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Princess Taiping said: Let me see later.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: It's all gone, although there are scars, fortunately it's not on the face, so it doesn't matter.

Come with me.

Princess Taiping stood up as she said.

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment and felt a little bit too much.

Princess Taiping said calmly: I have something else to discuss with you, it is inconvenient here.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun understood and thought that it was probably because Zhang Ren would rebel.

As the general manager of Shuofang and restrained the several cities in Anbei, Zhang Renyuan was a vassal official with real power and military power. This matter was completely considered a military confidentiality. It was obviously inappropriate to say that military and national affairs were of great importance in public. After all, there were also a group of imperial doctors and many irrelevant officials and staff here.

When the imperial doctor saw that Xue Chongxun put on his clothes directly, he hurriedly reported: He did not hurt his muscles and bones, but he should frequently apply medicine to clean the wounds to avoid evil. In addition, he should also lose too much blood, so he should calm his qi and blood to avoid too much activity...

Xue Chongxun was out of his way, and followed Princess Taiping into a door, and left for a while before saying: It was just a little skin trauma, so the imperial doctor could say it was very serious.

What are you doing if you don’t rest? Zhang Ren is willing to fail to overcome the world. If you don’t need to lead your troops personally to quell the rebellion in the north. Princess Taiping said without looking back.

Xue Chongxun was silent and it was not good to compete for me too much. After all, Princess Taiping has not made clear his attitude... You, a prince, are still competing for merit, what should you do?

At this time, Princess Taiping said again: After returning to Chang'an, let the emperor and the emperor fight against rebellion, and ordered the Minister of War Cheng Qianli to hang his seal and dispatch the Guanzhong army to the north to quell the rebellion.Cheng Qianli is the prime minister who serves as the prime minister. He is experienced and persistent in military affairs and can convince the public. It is most suitable to use him.

Xue Chongxun said: Although it is certain that Zhang Renyuan and others cannot get out of the relationship, the various ins and outs are still unclear at this time, so I have another guess.

you say.

Princess Taiping walked in front and walked through a long palace. At the end of the house was a staircase, which was a passage directly downstairs. Xue Chongxun had to follow.

Zhang Renyuan sent assassins and surprise troops into Guanzhong to seek murder, so he was naturally prepared. Last night's incident was just a start to seize the opportunity, and he would definitely openly rebel in the future.He wanted to raise an army to plan things, but he had to have a title... There are only two types of titles that could be used, either to clear the king or support a royal family to support justice and return to power.

Xue Chongxun calmly analyzed Zhang Renyuan.

Princess Taiping disagreed and said: So what? Can he still lead his army to defeat the imperial army and enter the pass and fight for the world?Just dispatch troops to pacify him.

Xue Chongxun said: Then we consumed a huge amount of money from the treasury to mobilize the army to war. What can we prove if we win?Prove to the people of the world that today's regime is unpopular and rebellions are coming one after another?

Princess Taiping stood still and frowned: Zhang Renyuan rebelled. Although the chance of accomplishing something is small, he will definitely not be able to stand dead when he reaches this point. We can only mobilize troops to capture him back to Chang'an to question him. Is there any other way besides this?

Xue Chongxun looked around and found that there were only some close servants around Yu Liben and Princess Taiping, and said in a deep voice: After that incident last night, I calmed down and thought, there was only one royal prince of the surname Li in Shuofang: King Size.Although there is no confession or evidence that King Size and Zhang Renyuan colluded, Prince Size's mansion is in Lingzhou, where Zhang Renyuan's headquarters is... I really can't imagine that Zhang Renyuan would ignore the royal family under his nose to plan major events.Therefore, it is bold to imagine that the rebels may take King Size as the order to hold the banner of supporting Li Tang and occupy the foothold of righteousness.

After hearing this, Princess Taiping pondered for a while and thought about what she had just said.

Xue Chongxun said while the heat was hot: Whether King Size participated in the plot could not be determined for the time being, but it does not prevent us from making a quick decision to regain the opportunity!Guanzhong is not close to Shuofang, and the news of success or failure here is difficult to convey.If we immediately dispatch a troops near Lingzhou to raid, and unexpectedly, we will probably capture King Size on the spot... Then, no matter how you say and do it, it is his own business. In any case, it cannot cover up the essence of rebelling against the imperial center as a border general. If you are not in the army, why do you need a big battle?
