Chapter 82 In Chang'an City, the turmoil is gradually rising
In the evening, several carriages drove forward slowly. In that direction, one could faintly see the shadow of a gray city pier, but the distance was too far away. Even if you looked hard, you couldn't make the shadow clear.
The carriage stopped in a town outside the city. This carriage was very luxurious, and the escorting cavalry was even bigger. At a glance, there must be at least three to five hundred people. When the carriage stopped, a servant girl lifted the curtain , revealing a pretty and almost perfect face—Princess Tang Yun.
Hundreds of cavalry dismounted to welcome the princess and got off the cart. This place was the last stop before entering Chang'an. In the past half month, the princess has gone through several twists and turns and finally arrived outside the city of Chang'an. A smile appeared on his face, and with a slight smile, it was like a cardamom flower blooming.
Although she can't wait now and wants to enter the capital as soon as possible, her status as the royal family does not allow her to do whatever she wants. She must stay here for one night, because the envoys from the capital, representatives of court officials, and the complicated and elaborate princess guard of honor, They had been waiting outside the city for the return of the princess a few days ago.
At this time, the second carriage slowly drove over, and the curtain was lifted, and the old man Ning Qing lightly shaved his gray beard, but it was a pity that his long and slender gray beard had already been cut off during the battle Half, now looks nondescript.
The princess settled in the station, which is a unique station for the royal family.
Ning Qing is a great practitioner, the censor of Qin Tianjian, and the princess's guard, so he naturally followed the princess into the post station.
There is no snow in Chang'an City. It's not that Chang'an City doesn't snow, but this year's Chang'an City doesn't have much snow, which has already melted. Now Chang'an has entered spring, but the first spring rain, which is as expensive as oil, hasn't come yet. That's all.
"Old Ning, drink tea to warm up your body."
Princess respects Ning Qing very much, not only for the elderly, 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 people at his age are the most respectful people. Facing the princess's tea, he immediately took it with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and said flattered: "Your Highness, you can't do it, old minister..."
"No," the princess pulled Ning Qing back, and said, "Mr. Ning, you have seen me growing up and traveling thousands of miles to Changling County to pick me up. How could a cup of tea be able to thank you for this kindness?"
Princess said sincerely, at least her expression was sincere, so Ning Qing stood up, sighed, and said, "Well, old minister, I'm ashamed!"
Princess smiled slightly, sat in front of Ning Qing, poured a cup of tea, didn't drink it, but put it on the table, raised her head to look 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 plan?"
"I've been back to Beijing. It's been five years. I think my younger brother Mo Yi has grown up, and my father is getting old. I need to make another plan!"
Princess still had a smile on her face, and her tone was very peaceful, but when it fell into Ning Qing's ears, it seemed to carry a violent killing intent, which made his hands tremble in fright.
Heaven is ruthless,
These four words, he has stayed in the capital all his life and has seen too much, how can he not understand the meaning of Tang Yun's words?
Now the Holy Majesty is over fifty, but there has never been a crown prince, and Tang Moyi, the younger brother of the third princess Tang Yun and his mother, is almost 30 years old, and he is one of the candidates for the crown prince.
Tang Yun came back, so she naturally had to make a plan, and there was only one plan, which was to support her younger brother to become the prince.
But now that Tang Yun brought up this matter in front of Ning Qing, she was forcing Ning Qing to stand in line, but, half of his body has already been buried in the ground, so is it necessary to do this?
However, it was he who begged Tang Yun to go to defend against the enemy at the Qiling Station and invite troops to Weicheng. Tang Yun also went to the narrow escape!
Ning Qing was very conflicted, he suddenly thought of Gu Qingci, wondering how this young man whom he admired would react to such a thing?
Tang Yun didn't ask any further questions. She knew it was too late, so she smiled and said, "Old Ning, what do you think of Gu Qingci?"
Ning Qing was full of melancholy, and when she had the steps, she naturally stepped up, and immediately said: "Master Gu... is the only young man that the old minister has admired for so many years. Man is a rare talent."
"Such an evaluation is really rare." Holding a teacup in her hand, Tang Yun said softly: "I am also very curious about this person. He should wake up now, and he will come to Chang'an soon. When the time comes , it should be a good contact."
Ning Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness wants to attract Mr. Gu, I'm afraid it will not be easy..."
Ning Qing didn't have a deep contact with Gu Qingci, but he had a deep feeling for Gu Qingci. He felt that Gu Qingci didn't have the kind of personality that could be suppressed by others. Not suitable for Gu Qingci.
However, before Ning Qing could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a guard said: "His Royal Highness, please see Ma Shangshu!"
Tang Yun and Ning Qing raised their brows, Ma Dongyang didn't come at the right time.
Ma Dongyang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the representative of the court officials who greeted the princess this time. Tang Yun was a little shocked when she first found out that it was Ma Dongyang.
Now that Ma Dongyang made a sudden visit, it is basically confirmed that the situation may be a little special.
Tang Yun received Ma Dongyang.
She is neither familiar nor unfamiliar with Ma Dongyang. When they were in the capital in the early years, the two met each other quite often. After many years, she saw Ma Dongyang again. When Lingyi saw Ma Zhibai, who was a very scholarly and proud man, he was really like his father.
"Minister, Ma Dongyang pays homage to the princess." Ma Dongyang immediately performed the ceremony when he saw the princess.
Although Tang Yun is proud, even though she is a royal princess, she doesn't have much capital in front of Yipin Shangshu, she said slightly: "Ma Shangshu doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what's the matter with your sudden visit?"
Tang Yun came straight to the point, but Ma Dongyang was slightly taken aback, but he was only slightly taken aback, feeling a little emotional in his heart, no wonder the princes in the capital were a little flustered when they heard that the third princess had returned to the capital. Taking the initiative caught him off guard.
If it was normal, Ma Dongyang might still want to take back the initiative, but thinking of the purpose this time, he also said directly: "His Royal Highness has just returned from Changling County, do you know that Changling County respects Gu Qingci?"
"Naturally!" Tang Yun said, "I have crossed paths with him before."
Tang Yun didn't say much, and stopped abruptly when it was just right.
Ma Dongyang heard Tang Yun's tone and knew that the princess was wary, so he said directly: "Your Highness, do you know how much credit Gu Qingci has made? It's so big...that even a small county magistrate can't bear it!"
