"General of the Firearms Army!"
In the Zhangsun Residence, when Zhangsun Chong was appointed as the General of the Firearms Army, the entire Zhangsun Residence was elated. The Firearms Army might only have a thousand men, but it was the number one army in the world. Everyone knew that once Zhangsun Chong took over the Firearms Army, he would definitely soar. As the legitimate son of the Zhangsun Residence, the Zhangsun Family would naturally rise as well.
"Thank you, Father, for your help!" Zhangsun Chong had a joyful expression as he respectfully thanked Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Zhangsun Chong, who had a rare joyful expression, and couldn't help but have a little more affection. The once confident legitimate son of the Zhangsun Clan seemed to have returned. He didn't waste his efforts to obtain this job for Zhangsun Chong.
"The Firearms Army is of great importance, and the Ministry of War attaches great importance to it. His Majesty has already decided to expand the Firearms Division from a thousand men to three thousand men. This is your opportunity and also your responsibility. In the future, you must familiarize yourself with military books and study the art of war. You must not let down the name of the Firearms Army." Zhangsun Wuji solemnly instructed.
"Three thousand men."
Zhangsun Chong was delighted. Mo Jiazi's thousand men were able to defeat five thousand Tubo cavalry. If the Firearms Division was expanded to three thousand men, wouldn't it be invincible?
"Other than that, you still have one more thing to do. That is the marriage with Princess Gao Yang. "Zhangsun Wuji looked deeply at Zhangsun Chong and said.
Zhangsun Chong instantly went silent. He couldn't help but think of a gentle figure. Princess Gao Yang was already an adult and had a natural and graceful appearance. Her appearance was also top-notch in the harem and didn't lose to anyone. However, Zhangsun Chong didn't have a trace of love in his heart. She took the opportunity to force his concubine away and sent his child to someone else. Her ruthlessness was like heaven and earth compared to Changle, who was called a living Bodhisattva by the people.
Furthermore, the happier Changle and Mo Jiazi were, the more he felt that this happiness should belong to him. It was even harder for him to accept Princess Gao Yang in his heart.
Zhangsun Wuji didn't rush him but looked at Zhangsun Chong calmly. After a long time, Zhangsun Chong lowered his head and respectfully said, "This child understands. In the future, I will definitely be loving husband and wife Gao Yang and become a good husband."
Zhangsun Chong understood that his marriage with Princess Gao Yang was a catalyst. Under the temptation of his own future, Zhangsun Chong ultimately bowed his head to reality.
Zhangsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction, "You are the legitimate son of the Zhangsun Clan. Father believes that you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Zhangsun Clan."

"Your Highness, look, this is the western region's rare treasure sent by Young Master Zhangsun. It's said that it's worth a thousand gold taels! Young '' ''s''s Young's. In Gao Yang Palace Hall, a palace maid looked at the Western Region's Rare Treasures in front of her. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed.
Hou Junji might not have returned in triumph, but the Hu merchants from the Western Region had already arrived at the Tang dynasty through Gao Chang. They had brought along a large amount of Western Region's Rare Treasures. Zhangsun Chong had chosen the Rare Treasures brought by the Hu merchants. Such Rare Treasures were rarely seen even in the palace.
Princess Gao Yang glanced at the Rare Treasures. Although she was satisfied with Zhangsun Chong's attitude, she still said, "Most of the world's Rare Treasures come from the Village Mo. These are just some dead objects."
Her personal palace maid's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, be careful with your words. I know what you're thinking. However, your marriage with Young Young Master Zhangsun is imminent. His Majesty has personally appointed this marriage. It has become a fact. Please be careful with your words and actions for the sake of your future happiness."
Princess Gao Yang suddenly threw herself on the table and cried, "What else can't I say? Both parties are willing to marry each other. However, my father has never asked me if I was willing. All women in the world can choose the husband they like, but I, Gao Yang, have no choice. I'm just a sacrifice. I'm a sacrifice to compensate the Zhangsun Family for Changle."
In fact, Princess Gao Yang knew that there were few people in Chang 'an who had a better family background than Zhangsun Chong. However, Princess Gao Yang, who was rebellious by nature, was still brooding over the marriage between Changle and Zhangsun Chong. She even resented being treated as a sacrifice.
For a moment, jealousy and unwillingness grew in Princess Gao Yang's heart, devouring her arrogant mind.
"The Empress bestows a gift!" As the announcement sounded in Gao Yang Hall, Princess Gao Yang, who was complaining just now, immediately wiped her tears, tidied her clothes, and appeared in the main hall with a well-educated appearance.
"Thank you for the Empress's gift." Princess Gao Yang looked at the treasures in front of her and said respectfully, without any trace of her previous resentment. Princess Gao Yang's mother died early, so her foundation in the palace was weak. She relied on acting in front of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun to gain their love. This was also why she didn't dare to oppose this marriage even though she was dissatisfied with it. She could only secretly resent it, but on the surface, she looked happy. Because she knew that if she rejected Zhangsun Chong, it would be a slap to Empress Zhangsun's face, and then she would have no status in the palace in the future.
"Congratulations, Princess, on your wedding." The head palace maid of the Li Zheng Hall congratulated.
Princess Gao Yang nodded and said, "Thank you. I wonder where the Empress is! I want to thank her personally. "
The palace maid shook her head and said, "I'm afraid Princess Gao Yang is a step too late. His Majesty and the Empress have already set off for Ninety Percent Palace."
In the past, Ninety Percent Palace was the imperial family's summer retreat. Ever since Meton used saltpeter to make ice, no one was willing to go out in the hot summer. Everyone obediently stayed in their rooms and used ice to cool down. Autumn is the best season to go out. In addition, Gao Chang's war has ended, and there's nothing to do in court. Only then did Li Shimin have the opportunity to go to Ninety Percent Palace for a vacation. "
"Ninety Percent Palace? Why didn't the Empress inform Gao Yang and have Gao Yang accompany her?" Princess Gao Yang asked in surprise. Ever since Princess Changle got married, and Gao Yang was the future daughter-in-law of the Zhangsun Family, Princess Gao Yang naturally replaced Princess Changle to accompany and take care of Empress Zhangsun. It could be said that Empress Zhangsun was quite fond of her. She knew that Empress Zhangsun was about to go on a trip to Ninety Percent Palace. She originally thought that she would definitely follow, but she didn't expect that she didn't receive any notice.
The palace maid cupped her hands and explained, "Presumably, Princess Gao Yang didn't inform you because it's inconvenient for her to leave Chang 'an City because her wedding is imminent."
Princess Gao Yang's face was instantly filled with disappointment. As a member of the imperial palace, she was like a bird in a cage. Who didn't want to go out of the palace? As a princess, there were only two ways to leave the palace. One was to travel with Li Shimin, and the other was to get married.
"Once I get married, no one will be able to restrict my freedom." Princess Gao Yang secretly swore in her heart as she looked at the sky separated by the high wall.
