Chapter 94 Family and Hegemony

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. In addition, in places like Kyoto, gossip about the royal family always attracts a lot of attention. Therefore, the "ad news" of Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang instantly spread to every corner of the imperial city, and then spread to every alley of Chang'an City.

Qin Mubai imagined that if Qin Shubao and Wu Mei Niang knew such news, what kind of expression would it be?

"Princess Gaoyang, you little devil, you are really hurt by you!"

On the same day, Qin Mubai did not return to the harem. Things are in the limelight, and Princess Gaoyang's excitement has not calmed down. It's better not to add fuel to the fire at this time.

Returning to the government office, he thought carefully for a while about how to clean up the mess at present. In fact, the core of the whole matter is just a disagreement between Princess Gaoyang and her father Li Shimin. Everyone else, including himself and Fang Xuanling's father and son, were taken in by the innocent.

However, the affairs of the royal family are sometimes major events in the world. Although I was unreasonablely used by Princess Gaoyang, I did play a very dazzling role in it. It can be imagined that after this incident, Qin Mubai's famous general resounded in Chang'an City again and became more famous.

But Qin Mubai didn't want to be famous at all, and he was still very angry. Because from the beginning, I never thought of messing with Princess Gaoyang, and this little girl was not the dish she liked. If you don't want to be fishy, you are forced to be fishy. If it were anyone, you wouldn't feel comfortable.

In the evening, the emperor sent a hundred attendants to issue an order to continue the ban on Princess Gaoyang. Qin Mubai sent his eldest grandson to go there.

In fact, the palace is relatively calm. It's not that everyone is not interested in the rumor of Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang, but that everyone is a sensible character and will not chew on this kind of thing to avoid getting into trouble.

It's just that wherever Qin Mubai went, he always felt a little uncomfortable. The eyes of those people looking at him are always a little strange.

Life is actually the same as before.

The next day, Qin Mubai went to the harem and picked up the emperor in the early morning first. Li Shimin didn't say much and left as usual. When I went to Penglai Hall, I still took Li Zhi and Li Mingda to practice boxing, read and write. Until the evening, nothing special happened.

It's time to go to Xianju Hall.

You can't escape. Qin Mubai took a deep breath and strode straight to the eventful place.

Changsun Huan walked back outside the hall in a lot of boredom. When he saw Qin Mubai coming from afar, he couldn't help but be shocked: "This guy dares to come to the Xianju Hall?"

Qin Mubai walked over, glanced at him, and walked directly into the hall without saying a word.

Changsun Xun took a breath of cold air and shook his head: Is this guy really not afraid of death? How dare you come to see Princess Gaoyang so openly! ... He is my superior, and I have no right to ask him anything. However, the ban on Princess Gaoyang is the will of the emperor, and no one is allowed to come to see her. What's more, it's Qin Mubai... I, should I report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor?

Just as the eldest grandson was thinking about it again and again, Qin Mubai's figure had disappeared at the corner of the hall.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Changsun Xun turned his head and left. Before leaving, he threw a sentence to the guard, "I will have a stomachache. You should be careful."

Walking to the bedroom of Xianju Hall, there were only a few eunuch maidservant standing outside the door to serve. As soon as these people saw Qin Mubai, their expression suddenly changed, which could be described as thriller.

"Go in and inform that Qin Mubai asked to see the Empress Defei." Qin Mubai walked to an eunuch and said lightly.

"General, later, the villain will go in and inform immediately." The eunuch was full of excitement and dodged in.

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang is making a lot of noise in the bedroom. Yin Defei persuaded each other bitterly, but it didn't work, so she had to sit aside and sigh.

"Ling'er, you have said so much for your mother, why don't you understand?" Yin Defei sighed, "Our mother and daughter are like walking on thin ice in this harem. It's rare for the emperor to like you. How can you be spoiled and proud? It has always been the decision of parents in marriage. As a royal woman, it is also an honor to absolutely obey the imperial order and make a little sacrifice for the royal family and society. You have to be considerate of your father. He actually did it for your own good. Although Fang's love is not a great weapon, at least he is not a traitor and evil person, and his character is reasonable. More importantly, Fang Xuanling is the confidant of your father and the hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. As a princess, it is already very good to marry such a family. Don't forget, you are just a daughter of a concubine. You have sixteen sisters above you. Except for those who died a child, there are few who are better married than you. You should be content!"

"I don't want it! I don't! I just don't care!" Princess Gaoyang stamped her feet, picked up a vase and smashed it to the ground angrily. There was a loud noise, and the fragments were scattered on the ground.

Yin Defei was so scared that she screamed, and her face suddenly turned white: "Linger, don't be too presumptuous!"

"Why, even you want to teach me a lesson, beat and scold me, and don't want me? All right, all right! They don't want me and hate me! You all want to marry me early and don't mess with you in front of you, do you? The more Princess Gaoyang said, the more excited she became. Finally, she cried, "I won't marry that house lover even if I die!" My father doesn't want me, and you don't want me! Just let me be a wild child without a father or mother. I don't care about this princess, living in this cold and smelly palace!"

"Ling'er, you... you're going to be angry to death!" Yin Defei was so angry that she trembled all over and bit her lips tightly, almost bleeding.

Several eunuch maids only dared to look at it from afar, shrugging their heads, and no one dared to persuade them.

"You are still stunned. Why don't you clean it up? Later, I scratched the princess's foot, and I will kill you!" Yin Defei was so angry that she shouted at the palace people.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in with his feet, stood still a few steps away from Yin Defei, and whispered, "Your Lady, someone is asking to see you."

"What else can I see at this time? Get back!"

"Yes..."

"Wait!" Princess Gaoyang's red eyes turned around and stopped the eunuch, "Who is coming?"

"Qin Mubai..."

"What?" The mother and daughter were shocked at the same time and immediately looked at each other in contempt.

"Why is he here?"

"How dare he come?"

......

After a long time, Yin Defei sat down and regained her usual dignity and nobility. She gently opened her lips and said, "Ling'er, Qin Mubai is a sensible person. If it weren't for something important or a very special reason, I wouldn't have come here at such a time. What he wants to see is for his mother. You can avoid it after the screen. When your mother sees her, she will think about it.

"Well, okay." After the quarrel, Princess Gaoyang and her dependent mother are still very close and have always respected her, so she obediently flashed behind the screen.

"Go and invite General Qin to come in. You all retreat first!"

Qin Mubai, who had been waiting for a long time, finally stepped into the bedroom of Yin Defei and saw the noble woman who once made him feel amazing again. But now, he is not in the mood to appreciate any beauty. After seeing the ceremony, Yin Defei showed him a seat. The two sat side by side. Qin Mubai looked at his nose and heart, and was silent for a long time.

"Since the general is here, why didn't he say a word?" Yin Defei's voice was as gentle as water as ever, with a smile on her face, "There are no idle people here. But if there is anything to say, the king's mouth comes into my ears, but it's okay to say it.

"The Empress Defei, about Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, the reason why it has come to this point is that Weichen has indeed done a lot of mistakes, which has played a lot of bad roles." Qin Mubai paused, slightly raised a slight curvature at the corners of his mouth, and said with a hint, "The Empress is very smart. Of course, I can imagine how Weichen came uninvited at such a time."

Yin Defei frowned slightly, and her slender white jade fingers also trembled slightly. She was shocked and said in her heart: Did the emperor deliberately let him come? ...It's strange. What did the emperor ask him to do?

"Then what are you here for?" Yin Defei asked.

"To untie the bell, you still need to tie the bell. Weichen specially came to advise Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang to obey the emperor and be willing to marry Fang's love." Qin Mubai finished this sentence like a routine speech report.

Although she tried her best to suppress her emotions and forced her composure, Yin Defei's expression suddenly changed and moved: "What are you talking about?"

"Weichen said that it is necessary to tie the bell to untie the bell. If this matter arises from me, I will solve it myself. Qin Mubai repeated almost word by word, "So, Weichen specially came to advise Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang to obey the emperor and be willing to marry Fang's love."

The expression of Yin Defei suddenly stiffened. She looked at Qin Mubai in a staringly, as if she were looking at a monster. He thought in surprise: Why did the emperor let Qin Mubai come as a lobbyist? ...What is he implying?

It's dangerous!

Yin Defei, who has experienced countless storms and waves and survived for the rest of her life, thought of such a thing at the first time - dangerous!

The emperor's move hides murder!

Yin Defei thought that the meaning of the emperor's words is that I don't care about this matter, and I just ask the result without the process. The result I want is that Gao Yang obediently married Fang Yuai. Qin Mubai, you and Princess Gaoyang are the core figures of the whole incident. You must adjust yourself. It's not too late to make up for the lost sheep, otherwise it will really be out of control. In order to take into account the emperor's authority and social face, I will also treat my own beloved daughter and confidant general!

This is your last chance! Unless you take the initiative to compromise together, you will die, and there is no room for negotiation!

The reason why Yin Defei thinks so is entirely for one reason - in the past, the emperor liked and even spoiled Princess Gaoyang very much. No matter how much she messed with her, he would always laugh and get rid of it. Only then did some rumors say that even if Princess Gaoyang burned the palace with a fire, the emperor would just laugh. Although it is a little exaggerated, it also shows the emperor's love for Gao Yang.

However, when Princess Gaoyang stands opposite to the emperor's authority and social face, the emperor, the father of his beloved daughter Mo Shen, will instantly become a cold-blooded emperor. Between family affection and hegemony, he will not hesitate to choose the latter - the blood of Xuanwumen is a witness!

Therefore, this time, Princess Gaoyang's refusal to marry made a lot of noise, and the emperor never came to persuade Princess Gaoyang in person. It's not that he doesn't like Gao Yang, or that he doesn't have this patience, but when family affection conflicts with hegemony, in his opinion, this is irrecongruous, and family affection must make way for hegemony.

Even if it is my beloved daughter, there is no room for negotiation!

So he sent Qin Mubai to be a lobbyist, which is equivalent to a direct ** naked showdown between Xiang Yinde's mother and daughter - you can either be obedient or die with this man.

This is like a battle between the two armies. Li Shimin has an absolute advantage and surrounds the other party. He also catches the family of the other general, and then sends one of the family members to persuade the other party to surrender. Either you surrender together, or I will kill your family first and then attack your army!

Now, Qin Mubai and Yin Defei's mother and daughter have become people in the same boat. Undoubtedly, it is such a relationship.

"He is really... so cruel!" Mumbling, Yin Defei's heart was only talking about these words.
