"Uncle, have you heard that Princess Anle's servant was beaten by Marquis Liu Cheng for forcing her to steal the girl!"

"Marty of Liucheng, which Marquis of Liucheng? He is so brave that he actually takes care of Princess Anle! Beating a dog depends on the owner. Doesn't he know what Yuan Jingshi will end?"

"Who else is the female general named Yang under the account of Duke Zhang County! Last autumn, the one who captured Geluo Khan Chengzong alive!"

"You said that one of you beats more than a hundred times and even brought Kharu Khan back like a chicken? No wonder he could beat Princess Anle's servant! I'm afraid even if the Imperial Guard met her, it would be for nothing!"

"Those servants deserve it! Jingzhao Mansion dare not take care of it, Chang'an County Government dare not ask. This time, God is so open-minded that he actually let them grab the front of Marquis Liucheng!"

"Then the marquis Liu Cheng still gave the princess a face and didn't do anything to death. Otherwise, the servants would not have enough heads for her to chop with one hand."

"My cousin was nearby at that time. He heard that the servants were blind. Seeing that the Marquis of Liucheng was pretty, he wanted to steal her back and ruin her. As a result, he kicked the big iron plate!"

"That's right, my fifth uncle's nephew was also present at the time. He said that the Marquis of Liucheng was not only very capable, but also looked like a fairy. After raising his hands a few times, all the servants of Princess Anle's mansion lay on the ground."

"Of course, the many guards around Geluo Dakhan are not as good as the Marquis of Liucheng. The servants in Princess Anle's mansion bully ordinary people. When they meet Marquis of Liucheng, will they still deliver vegetables?"

"It's a pity that Marquis Liu Cheng was not ruthless enough. Otherwise, he would just twist off the heads of his servants. How many people inside and outside Chang'an City would have to offer her longevity cards."

...

Although Chang'an City is big, it cannot hide the secret. What happened in the morning was a hot topic before noon. The identities, causes and consequences of the conflict were all excavated by the people, and in the process of spreading, it added a lot of legendary colors with their own imagination.

The people have a very clear tendency and hate the slaves under Princess Anle. Therefore, not only do they look contemptuous when talking about them, but also describe their image as extremely ugly.

When it comes to Yang Chengliang, the Marquis of Liucheng who has made everyone angry, he does his best to beautify the power of the latter. Not only exaggerates the latter's military value ten times, but also aligns the appearance of the latter with the peerless beauty in their minds.

"Oh, Mr. Liu Cheng was reckless this time. It depends on the owner to beat the dog!"

"What a pity, the title he just obtained through military achievements is probably going to be returned to the court now."

"She is said to be an orphan, without even her parents, and has no foundation at all. She offended Princess Anle so fiercely, and the fate is probably not just losing her title."

"Yuan Jingshi is a member of the Yuan family in Hebei, and he ended up being covered with bedding. She is a newly promoted county marquis, alas——"

"Look at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, we can't let the meritorious soldiers feel cold!"

"The Queen Mother is the princess's biological mother, can she still be directed towards outsiders?"

...

Some people also have experienced a lot of things and are privately worried about Yang Chengliang's future.

It was not a matter of one or two days for Princess Anle to indulge her slaves to rob a handsome man and a beautiful woman. When the late emperor was alive, she refused to care about her. Now that she has changed to a new emperor of fifteen years old, how could she control her sister?

The empress dowager who truly held power was Princess Anle's biological mother. She has always been obedient to her daughter, and she must not watch a new general who takes credit and "bully" the princess.

"It cannot be said that the Marquis of Liucheng is helpless and has no support. She is the right-hand man of Duke Zhang!"

"After the right hand, I am not a wife. How could Duke Zhang offend the Empress Dowager for her?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Mr. Zhang has always been a strong man. When he was the chief clerk of the eighth rank, he contradicted Princess Anle!"

"Yes, after you said this, I really remembered it. County Duke Zhang not only contradicted Princess Anle, but also swept away Princess Taiping's face without hesitation!"

"So if you want me to tell me, in the end, you have to look at Duke Zhang's side!"

"Well, if Duke Zhang doesn't support Liu Chenghou, how can he face his brothers in the future?"

There were also some smart people who soon realized the key to the subsequent development of the situation. Whether Yang Chengliang, the Marquis of Liucheng, will be retaliated by Princess Anle, and to what extent it will be retaliated, it will definitely depend on the attitude of Zhang Qian, the Protector of the West Protectorate.

If Zhang Qian was willing to make the empress dowager angry and protect Yang Chengliang, the court would definitely give him some face. After all, he swept the Mobei for the court last year and solved the great trouble of the Later Turks in one fell swoop. He also did not wear off his armor and guarded the coffin for the former emperor for nearly twenty days, allowing the new king and the empress dowager to successfully take over the government affairs.

Although the person in charge of Xuanwu Sect has been replaced by the Queen Mother's cousin, the champion general Wei Bo, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to not have any regard for Zhang Qian's favor.

Even if the empress dowager is so cold that she forgets her life, she will not give Zhang Qian any face. If you want to enter the camp of the Shattered Ye Army to arrest the Marquis of Liucheng, you have to see whether Zhang Qian is willing to nod.

In the eyes of most people, Zhang Qian should not nod. Otherwise, he would lose all his morale and would be unable to lead the team in the future!

"This Zhang Tejin obviously wants to draw a clear line with Princess Anle! Princess Anle had just visited his camp the night before, and his beloved generals under his command have cleaned up Princess Anle's slaves in the street today!"

"I just said that he would not get involved with Princess Anle, hehe! It's true!"

"Does I always think this trick look familiar?"

"How can I not look familiar? This is simply the unique skill of the Cheng family!"

"Gou Duan, Crazy Cheng, confused Qin, from now on, there will be another madman in the capital. Whether it is, it's good!"

...

Those who can see the essence by putting aside the phenomenon, will always be a minority in the capital. In the four wings of the Procuratorate, Chongren, Yongxing and Tuzheng, some old Dukes and county dukes who seemed to be unable to walk, nodded repeatedly while stroking their beards.

From fifty years ago, Emperor Zhongzong and Empress Zetian joined forces to eliminate Changsun Wuji, until now, they have experienced too much bloody storms in the capital and have long been tired of it. Suddenly, they saw a young man who was not interested in killing each other, and they inevitably had more praise in their eyes.

As for beating the evil slaves of the princess family, did they lose their royal face? They don’t care! Since the time when the Great Sage Queen Zetian robbed her son’s throne, the face of the Li royal family has long been lost, not that much less! What’s more, the slaves of the eldest princess family are all surnamed Wu, and they are still far from the Li family!

No matter what was being discussed outside, Zhang Qian seemed to have no hearing. Every day, he either trained his three thousand tigers in the military camp, or in the basement of the village, he tinkered with his weapons that could be used to save his life at critical moments, firmly kept his promises and did not see any foreign guests.

Of course, this foreign guest included the Dali Temple Minister, the prefect of Jingzhao, and the censors at all levels. No matter whether the other party is old or young, or a senior or a young official, he did not carry the imperial edict or handwriting of the new emperor. Even if he talked his lips, he would not have to enter the camp of the Shattered Ye Army. Not to mention that he would deceive Yang Chengliang, the Marquis of Liucheng, and take it at will.

Several censors relied on someone behind their backs to try to break through. As a result, as soon as their feet approached the lime white line at the entrance of the camp, the official hat on their heads was shot into the sky by feather arrows. Immediately afterwards, the two armed squadrons of broken leaves, all armed from the camp, and pushed the long spear in their hands like waves.

"Ao--" The censor Zheng Yan, who led the team to the camp, ran away. In an instant, the other censors, Shaoyin and the officers, did not dare to bet that the tigers would put away their long spears in time, turn around one by one, and run away in scattered!

He rushed out of Weiyang Palace three or four miles away, and the cowhide belt broke, and no one dared to stop and tie it. Until his legs were so tired that he had no strength, he stopped squatting in the wild, panting with tears and gasping.

Now, no one dares to test Zhang Qian’s bottom line in order to flatter Princess Anle. It’s not easy to ask the Queen Mother or the New Lord to issue an order to punish a founding marquis for a group of evil slaves?

First of all, the Empress Dowager also has to consider whether such an imperial edict can pass the blockade of the secretariat.

Secondly, Zhang Qian did not allow people from Dali Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture to enter his military camp, and his attitude was very clear. At this critical moment, the empress dowager forced the powerful generals who held heavy troops to bow their heads for the sake of a few slaves. It was really unwise.

As a result, Zhang Qian's domineering reputation was fully occupied. Some civil officials who originally wanted to take the opportunity to impeach him to gain fame and decisively stuffed the memorials into the carbon furnace. The tigers of the Shattered Ye Jun's morale soared, and they all felt that it was a great blessing for their lives to keep up with such a coach.

Among the three thousand tigers, most of them were slaves rescued by Zhang Qian in the frozen city, Saiye and other places. A small number were composed of his servants, elite soldiers sent by Shuofang Army, and veterans of the original Shule Town. They were originally extremely loyal to him. After this incident, everyone became more and more willing to follow him. It can be said that if he gave his order, the brothers would definitely be able to face the sea of ​​swords and fires.

Zhang Qian also knew that these three thousand tigers were the real reliance for him to settle down. Therefore, in addition to strict training, he spared no expense in terms of the equipment of his brothers.

As hydraulic forging technology and crucible metallurgy technology become more and more mature in Liushen Workshop, the cost and weight of the Qilin armor and the erectile ferrous vest have been greatly reduced when the defense power has increased. Therefore, the erectile ferrous vest has quickly become standard equipment in the scattered leaves camp, and each brother has a set.

Regarding the personal guards and teachings, the three regiments of Shuofang and the Xiliuying regiment that had just made great contributions, Zhang Qian equipped everyone except the archers with Qilin armor!

In this way, nearly 500 soldiers became heavy cavalry. If the Thunder Ye Battalion was attacked, these 500 heavy cavalry gathered together to rush into the formation, which would definitely tear open any defense line in the world!

"If I were the Queen Mother, I would beg you to leave!" Luo Huaizu came out to inquire about the news and saw the brothers armed to their teeth, he couldn't help but smile and scold them. "Otherwise, one day you want to destroy their mother and mother and establish a new king, and Wei Bo's little troops will not be able to stop you."

"Who is abolished? Who is it? Emperor Zhongzong was established by Zhang Jianzhi and other five others. Who ended up with a good ending in the end?" After hearing this, Zhang Qian rolled his eyes disdainfully.

Luo Huaizu had known for a long time that Zhang Qian had no ambitions. He knew better that everyone had the strength and connections that could not support the need for changing the dynasty. Therefore, he did not advise Zhang Qian to go through anything about Cao Cao or Wang Mang. He smiled and responded in a low voice, "This is right. No emperor will be grateful to those who can threaten the throne. The people of the Li family were particularly frivolous. If it weren't for Changsun Wuji's help back then, it would not be Li Zhi's turn to be the emperor. As a result, Li Zhi and Wu Zhao would be ruthless in dealing with Changsun Wuji."

"So I don't want to stay in Chang'an for a day!" Zhang Qian heard something in Luo Huaizu's words and nodded with a smile. Then, he quickly turned the topic back to the point, "How? Find out where did the news that the great cannibals were preparing to advance eastward? Princess Anle was so anxious to win over me, who did she want to deal with?"

"The news that the great cannibals were about to move eastward should be released by Cui Shi." Luo Huaizu organized a little language and responded in a low voice, "It is the first time that his minions did this kind of thing, so they left too many traces. I didn't take too much effort to find him. However, I immediately discovered a few strange things, so I delayed outside for two days."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Qian felt a warning in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Cui Shi is already in a state of resentment with Princess Taiping." Luo Huaizu looked around alertly, and his voice quickly lowered. "He was able to be re-activated by Li Zhi a few years ago. The main person who contributed was not Princess Taiping or Empress Wei, but Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er!"

"Shangguan Wan'er?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly. After a little thought, he remembered what Shangguan Wan'er looked like.

Although Shangguan Wan'er is famous in history books and TV series in another time and space, in the past few years he came to the Tang Dynasty, Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er has always been a very inconspicuous existence.

Although this woman is famous and is said to be second only to Empress Wei in the harem. However, this woman rarely interferes in the government affairs and has no interaction with the martial artists.

Although Zhang Qian always wears the hat of a civil servant, he neither knows how to write poems nor has no articles passed down from generation to generation, so he is more likely to be classified as a martial artist or a craftsman! For his "shrunk", Shangguan Wan'er certainly would not take the initiative to intersect. Therefore, the two sides usually don't have many opportunities to meet, let alone interact with each other.

"Yes, it's her!" Luo Huaizu took over the conversation and added solemnly, "I found that many people underestimated her. In fact, her influence in the court is no less than that of Princess Taiping. Li Xian's will was drafted by her. Some of the current position arrangements in the court are actually made by her."

"It was she who instructed Cui Xi to spread rumors and tried to force me to leave Chang'an quickly?" Zhang Qian's warning became stronger and stronger, and he frowned and digged into the bottom of the matter. "What is the purpose of her move? Is she trying to deal with me, or has another goal?"

"No, the one who instructed Cui Xi to spread rumors should be Princess Taiping." Luo Huaizu shook his head and his voice lowered. "But Shangguan Wan'er should know, or be the one who is helping the fire. Her purpose is the same as Princess Taiping, to force us to get out quickly and not stay in Chang'an. However, Princess Taiping wanted to deal with Empress Wei, but she wanted to stir up the two tigers to fight, and then find an opportunity to welcome King Qiao back to Chang'an!"

"Welcome King Qiao?" Zhang Qian could not believe his ears, and he blurted out his doubts, "She was crazy? When the late emperor was alive, King Qiao had been suppressed. At present, he wanted no one at hand and no soldiers."

"This is also something I feel strange!" Completely agreeing with Zhang Qian's judgment, Luo Huaizu nodded and continued to report with concern, "Then I checked carefully and found that Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather and father were both dead at the hands of Wu Zetian. She herself was just born, and together with her biological mother, she was punished to be a slave. This woman was talented and born like a flower. At the age of thirteen, she was appreciated by Wu Zetian because of her poetry and writing and wise affairs, and was dismissed from slavery and promoted to a personal female official. Wu Zetian asked her to take charge of the imperial edicts in the palace. She did a great job and knew how to advance and retreat very well. In the end, Wu Zetian did not mention a word of her own family in her life!"

"I guess I don't have an impression of my family!" Zhang Qian was unwilling to pay attention to the things that had nothing to do with him before and interrupted in a low voice.

"It's definitely not!" Luo Huaizu continued to shake his head with a calm face, "If that were the case, I wouldn't mention her in front of you. According to my careful review, she knew about Wu Zetian being forced to the palace. Therefore, Li Xian would repay her later, leave her in the palace and be named Zhaorong, and continue to give advice for him. Not long after Li Xian ascended the throne, he quelled her grandfather Shangguan Yi and his father Shangguan Tingzhi, and granted the title of King of Chu and Duke of Tianshui County. And it was her who initially advised Li Xian to use Wu Sansi!"

"Hiss--" Zhang Qian took a breath of air conditioning, his mouth was unable to close for a long time.

The next thing happened too close, and he knew clearly without Luo Huaizu's introduction. Li Xian used Wu Sansi's hand to eliminate Zhang Jianzhi and other five kings. Wu Sansi later died at the hands of the crown prince. When the crown prince killed Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er was not affected at all. After the crown prince was killed, Shangguan Wan'er was still trusted by Li Xian!

Following this idea, Shangguan Wan'er's terrible thing was immediately clearly visible. Before this, he could actually ignore the existence of this woman!

"It is not certain that she can support King Qiao to take the throne. However, if she can take this opportunity to make the blood flow into a river in Chang'an City, it may not be what she expected." As if she was afraid that Zhang Qian's surprise was not powerful enough, Luo Huaizu hesitated for a moment and whispered the last message, "In addition, I also heard a rumor that Li Xian did not die of excessive happiness and blood vessels that day, but of some kind of chronic poison!"

"Impossible!" Zhang Qian shook his body and screamed in surprise. In an instant, it seemed like he was hit by lightning!

According to historical records in another time and space, Li Xian died of poisoning by Empress Wei and Princess Anle. However, he saw with his own eyes that Li Xian was overly excited at the ceremony of offering the Jie and died of a heart attack!

He thought that because of his arrival, the wheel of history had deviated from the original track, and he was also grateful for this! However, at this moment, someone suddenly told him that Li Xian was still poisoned and died of poisoning, but the suspect that the murderer had turned from Empress Wei and Princess Anle to Shangguan Wan'er!

That means that the wheel of history is still silently exerting on the original track. After all, in another historical material in time and space, the saying that Empress Wei and his daughter poisoned Li Xian is not very certain!

That also means that all his efforts after he arrives may not have any impact on the history of this time and space. Under the huge inertia, the wheels of history will sooner or later be crushed into powder and disappear without a trace!
