Crown Tang emperor

As for the possibility, there are many reasons, and he is not a roundworm in Qiu Shenji's stomach.After spending so much effort, I finally went to see my grandma happily, but I was stopped by someone halfway, and the knife ended. I really wanted to cry but had no tears.

So earlier, he was also asking Xue Huaiyi, Shen Quanqi and other people who could get in touch with him about the current guard system in the palace.

Today, Luoyang Taichu Palace's imperial guards are equally focused on the northern and southern yamen.Although the Beiya gradually grew in size, it still did not completely cover the entire imperial city. The Zhenguan Hall was generally used as the boundary, and the Beiya was mainly responsible for the inner area to the north.

As for the southern area, including the imperial city where the Taiwan Province Jishu is located, the Nanya is still guarding the area.The guards in the imperial city are mainly in charge of the left and right guards, and the city gate and palace ban are more complicated.

Li Tong didn't dare to ask too bluntly, and those people were not members of the imperial guard system. Even if they knew the details, they would not explain them to him in detail.But it is basically certain that the power and influence of the Jinwu Guard in the forbidden zone is not great, at least not so big that they can enter and exit the forbidden zone and kill people wantonly.

But this kind of thing is really uncertain, after all, there is no such thing as Wu Zhou in front and back.

Right now, what Li Tong can hope for is that there will be no small probability events that are too tricky. For example, when Qiu Shenji is on top, he must use extraordinary means to kill them if he wants to lose his wealth and life.

He has worked hard for so long just for this day, not to mention probabilities or improbability, even if he is sure of the swords and swords outside the Institute of Renzhi, he will go this time, otherwise he will really die unwillingly.

Ren Zhiyuan has already prepared soup and the like, and asked the palace envoy to use it to dispel the cold.After sitting for a short while, the three of them went out together. Under the guidance of the palace envoy, they went through layers of forbidden palaces and went straight to the Vientiane Shrine.

Chapter 0079

Although Renzhiyuan belongs to the same palace, its orientation is still on the sidelines. Once you pass through the Guiyi Gate, the lively and festive atmosphere of the real palace palace on the occasion of the New Year comes to your face.

Right now, when the time has just entered Yinshi, the sky is still dark, but there are lights and festoons in the hall, and the brilliance of the lights tenaciously drives away the darkness, propping up a bright space.

The palace envoys were in the front, the palace servants were in the back, the imperial guards were on the left and right, and the three kings were caught in the middle.

If he turned around and walked forward, in the cold night wind, Li Tong's body was covered with sweat. After turning around a palace ban, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he saw the majestic and huge building of Mingtang standing not far in front of him.

Such a huge volume gives people a kind of breathless pressure. Before, it could only be viewed from a distance, and it was already quite spectacular. Now standing close to the side, the feeling of insignificance can't help but be squeezed out from the bottom of my heart.

"This, this shrine is really tall!"

Li Shouli also raised his eyes to look, murmuring in amazement.

"Your Majesty, please come forward and enter the hall first."

At this point, another group of palace guides were changed, and the three quickly looked away, followed obediently up the stairs, and went straight to the corridor hall.

Around the bright hall, the lights are brighter, and there are many people, but the scene is not chaotic, some are hurrying, or standing on one side, there are few people talking loudly, and there are no people running around randomly.

Li Shouli was halfway up the steps, and his footsteps were a little weak. Looking back, he saw that the figures at the same level before had gradually become smaller, and even lost their steps and bumped into Li Tong.As for Li Guangshun on the other side, he didn't feel much better, his lips were tightly pressed, and his face turned slightly pale.

Feeling the varying degrees of tension of the two brothers, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh.He also saw the completion of the Mingtang in the forbidden room, and now that he was approaching, he was naturally amazed, but more he felt that his grandma, a prodigal bitch, was really capable of making things. As for any sense of awe, there was no sense of awe.

After all, no matter how grand the Mingtang is, the era is limited here, and no matter how magnificent the buildings and pictures are, he has never seen them before.

But I also have to say that looking at the four directions from the Mingtang, looking down on the small from this big, for some people who are not peaceful in their hearts, it can indeed breed some illusions of controlling everything. No wonder the ancient emperors were keen on building .One thought is born, all things gather here, the sense of accomplishment is really unparalleled.

But right now they are entering the ancillary buildings around the Mingtang, the corridor side hall.Including the subsequent Renji Dajiu, it will only be held in the side hall of Vientiane Shrine.Li Tong still had to work hard if he wanted to enter the real main hall of the Ming Hall.

The corridor hall is flanked by the four sides of the Ming hall. After Li Tong climbed up, one of the biggest feelings is that the height is extremely cold, not like being in the world.It’s already the cold winter of the new year, and the corridor hall stands on a high place with less shelter, especially the inside is transparent, and the wind blowing through the hall is really chilling!

At this time, in the corridor hall, many people have already gathered together.There are many armored soldiers in the outer fence, and there are many frost knots on the armor.In the corridor hall, there are groups of palace people standing in clusters, and many servants are busy carrying utensils to and fro.

When the palace official in charge of guiding came here, he hesitated and slowed down, as if he didn't know where to lead the three kings.

"I don't know if Master Xue can go to the palace? Please guide me to see you."

Li Tong stomped his feet that were somewhat paralyzed by the cold wind, and said with trembling teeth.

The palace official turned his head and smiled, and was about to say a few words of apology, when Xue Huaiyi's hearty laughter sounded from the other side: "It turns out that the king and others have already entered here, and I was just about to send someone to ask."

While talking, Xue Huaiyi had already rushed forward, still wearing a thick felt hat and a mink tail on his head, and wrapped in a suede fur coat, but he couldn't see the iconic colorful monk's robe.

There were more than [-] or [-] of them swarming forward and backward, and as soon as they approached each other, Li Tong felt much warmer, and the human wall was able to block the wind.

"Without Master Xue to guide me, my brother is like Nozawa quail, hesitating and hopeless."

Li Tong also strode forward, and greeted Xue Huaiyi with his second brother and exchanged greetings.

Xue Huaiyi's face was flushed, he didn't know whether it was from the cold or he was in high spirits on happy occasions, he pulled Li Tong to his side, looked around at the crowd, and said loudly: "You have come to see the young king, especially the king of Yong'an, come with me Let’s make a grand event together, and in the future, we will go in and out, and when we meet, don’t be rude!”

Everyone came forward to salute one after another, and Li Tong nodded in greeting.These people include both eunuchs and palace officials, as well as foreign court officials, especially some of them are dressed in armor, like generals of the Imperial Guard.

Xue Huaiyi has indeed been lucky recently, especially the day before yesterday when he was rewarded in the Ming Hall. Therefore, he was officially conferred the title of Liang Guogong and Zuo Weiwei General for his contribution in supervising the construction. He is no longer just the master of the White Horse Temple with embarrassing status.

In the side hall of the Mingtang that he supervised to build, he had a sense of pride almost as a master. He casually talked about some deeds related to the Mingtang, and received many compliments.

Then he pulled Li Tong up and said: "It's really windy and cold here, and it's still early. The outsiders will not be able to go to the palace until they are in Maojian. The king will come with me and wait in the Nuan Pavilion temporarily."

While speaking, he took a step ahead, Li Tong and others followed him around the corridor hall and then walked inside, and saw a row of inconspicuous rooms behind the hall.Following Xue Huaiyi's explanation, Li Tong also knew that this was the place where middle officials and foreign ministers went to the palace to wait for the edict to stay temporarily.

Xue Huaiyi led the three kings into one of the houses, lifted the curtain and entered, there was a warm wind blowing in his face, but there was no smell of fireworks. Presumably, there were arrangements similar to fire walls and earth dragons.

"The king is staying here for a while. I am busy with chores and cannot accompany you for a long time. I will guide you later when I go to the hall and kowtow."

Bringing the three kings into the room, Xue Huaiyi paused for a while, and then said again.

"Master Xue is self-serving, my brother is waiting here."

Li Tong and the other three hurried out again and sent Xue Huaiyi away together.

Among other things, Li Tong was really grateful for Xue Huaiyi's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.Being in such a completely unfamiliar place, with no acquaintances around, he felt a little awkward in his heart.

Xue Huaiyi was treated like a fish in water and surrounded by stars, and it was rare for Xue Huaiyi to remember to arrange for the three of them to go together. Li Tong also secretly remembered his words of righteousness.

Just as Xue Huaiyi was sent away, Li Tong was about to return to the Nuan Pavilion with his second brother. When he turned around, another beautiful figure came into view on the other side of the corridor.

Shangguan Wan'er walked quickly, followed by two female historians, just turned here, looked up and saw King Yong'an in an elegant dress standing in front of the warm pavilion, her pupils shrank slightly, and her body froze.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's astonished expression, Li Tong couldn't help but smile, looking up and down a little.

Today, his clothes are elegant, and Shangguan Wan'er on the opposite side is not inferior, with layered gorgeous palace skirts, half arms of colorful weaving feathers, a cloak with gold thread and beads hanging from each elbow, and tassel tassels knotted on his chest. The powder is clear, the blush is light and hazy, the eyebrows are covered with red and beautiful plum blossoms, the kingfisher's feather-like steps are pecking from the side and back into the snails made of black silk, the whole person looks dignified and beautiful, It is very different from the previous Qingli.

When Li Tong saw Wei Tuan'er earlier, he secretly felt that she might be more beautiful than Shangguan Wan'er, but when he saw Shangguan Wan'er's different style of dress today, he felt that beauty really has no limit.But it stops at appreciation, not to mention any unrealistic reverie arising from it.

After Shangguan Wan'er lost her composure, she raised her wrist, as if she was about to make some kind of gesture. After turning her bright eyes, she just blinked imperceptibly at King Yong'an, and then hurried past with the two female historians as if nothing had happened. .

Li Tong stood outside the gate for a while, then bowed his head and returned to the room.He wanted to stand outside to see if he could meet some famous ministers, but after thinking about it, it's not appropriate to be too evasive, and even if he remembered the name of the person, he didn't know their appearance at all, so he gave up this idea.

The rooms in the Nuan Pavilion are very simple, but the space is not small, and there are a few couches and other furnishings.

In addition to the three kings, there were several eunuchs standing respectfully by the side of the room.Li Tong also found an interesting phenomenon, as they usually see eunuchs in the Renzhi Academy or Neiwen Hall, the proportion is not high.

But here in the Mingtang, the proportion of eunuchs has increased several times. Although there are maidservants and the like, the scope of activities is also limited.

An eunuch stepped forward and said in a respectful voice: "I don't know if your majesty needs to have food and beverages to pass on? It's just that there are rules and regulations in the interior of the war, and the color is monotonous. I hope your majesty will not sin."

They were in the side room of the Ming Hall, and they were about to attend the ceremony, so they really didn't have any idea of ​​eating or drinking.However, when the eunuch asked, Li Tong, who was pouring cold wind all the way, was greedy for his Hu spicy tea, and said: "If there is tea, you can bring it, if you don't, then don't bother."

The eunuch retreated in response, and two other eunuchs stood by the door.

The three sat in the room, Li Guangshun just bowed his head and listened silently to the movement coming from outside.Li Tongku was sitting bored, so he looked at the layout of the room. This house is very empty, and the original color of the wooden beams is still exposed in some places, and there is no time to paint it. It can be seen that his grandmother Wu Zetian insisted on opening the Mingtang in time for the New Year. In terms of details Still a little rushed.

In addition, there is also a white porcelain pot mountain with a length and width of several feet in the room, which is shining brightly under the lighting of the room.

Suddenly there was a relatively obvious sound of talking and laughing outside the room. From far to near, the door curtain was lifted soon, and several figures appeared in front of the door, and a middle-aged man in purple robe stood among them.

Li Tong and the other three people in the room stood up quickly, and when the people outside the door saw them, their faces showed surprise and surprise, especially the middle-aged man in the purple robe, whose expression sank suddenly, deeply Looking at the three of Li Tong, he turned his head to look at the eunuch in the room, and his tone was even more unkind: "What's going on?"

Chapter 0080

"Master Xue ordered, Your Majesty, please stay here for a short time and wait for the ceremony."

Under the gaze of the purple-robed official, the eunuch lowered his head even more, and his tone was respectful with a hint of trill.

"Your Majesty?"

Li Tong and the other three were all wearing uniforms, and the purple-robed officials would naturally be able to recognize their status. At this moment, they asked a question, and there was a bit of disdain in it. Then he opened his mouth again and said, "Whose guest is the king waiting for?"

"Little Wang..."

Li Guangshun took a step forward and was about to answer, but was pulled back by Li Tong.

Stopping his elder brother from self-reporting, Li Tong also took a step forward, also looking at the purple-robed official.

The other party was tall and thin, and on top of the purple official robe, he wore a soft mink fur hat with the tail hanging down around his neck.His face was long and thin, his facial features stretched and distributed a bit unnaturally, his eye sockets were slightly sunken so that his eyes were dark and prey, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing an undisguised contempt.

Li Tong stopped Li Guangshun, and he didn't speak. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull. The eunuch was timid and did not dare to go forward. It wasn't until the purple-robed official turned his cold eyes that he stepped forward again, half bowed and said in a low voice. : "Xiang, Xianggong is Chun, Chunguan Wushangshu..."

Hearing this introduction, Li Tong understood in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly sighed, he didn't know if he was unlucky or lucky to run into the Wu family just like that.

Chunguan Shangshu is the Minister of Rites. As early as when "Vientiane" Daqu participated in the evaluation, Li Tong heard Shen Quanqi talk about it. Brother Wu think twice.The image of the hanged ghost in front of him is naturally Wu Sansi.

The eunuch introduced the three kings with a trembling voice, and Wu Sansi frowned when he heard that the three kings were actually the sons of the old prince Li Xian.

He didn't talk to the three kings either, he just stood with his hands behind his back, and after a while he turned his head and looked back, and said in a deep voice, "Who is the person who guides the guests? Today is a big feast, and those who attend the ritual are the temple supervisory offices and the palaces, The government is working, how can there be nobles who are vacant? Deal with this matter quickly!"

His words were cold and arrogant, as if seeing three clumps of rubbish was an eyesore, and ordered to sweep them out.

Hearing this, not to mention how the people outside the door reacted, the faces of Li Guangshun and Li Shouli in the room changed, and they were suppressed by Li Tong's raised hand.

There was a moment of commotion outside the room, and not long after, a green-robed official squeezed in with sweat on his face, leaned close to Wu Sansi and whispered a few words.

After Wu Sansi listened, his brows furrowed deeper, and he squinted at the young king standing in the room.In the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, he was promoted from Xia Guanshilang of the Ministry of War to Chunguan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, succeeding his cousin Wu Chengsi in charge of ceremonial matters.

He was new to the office, and he was busy with everything, so he naturally didn't have the energy to ask about trivial matters like Dajiu Xuanle.When the selection list was brought up, he approved it casually. When he found out that Xue Huaiyi actually participated in the production of a new song, he didn't know more details. He even suggested that Xue Huaiyi's new song should be replaced by Da Jiu Zheng Ri in order to show Xue Huaiyi's favor. The ritual music "Tang Tang".

Needless to say, this proposal was sent back to the Zhengshitang just after it was submitted.But Wu Sansi didn't care too much, just now when he met Xue Huaiyi on his way to the palace, he casually talked about it, he only said that the ministers in the Zhengshitang were too pedantic and arrogant, he felt that "Vientiane" Daqu was enough for ritual and music.But in fact, he has never listened to or watched this big song from the beginning to the end.

Now that the officials are entering Chen, it is King Siyong and the other three who actually participated in this Daqu, and even the lyrics of the Daqu were written by King Yong'an himself.Therefore, the three kings did not enter the palace randomly, but ascended to the palace because of events.

Knowing this detail, Wu Sansi's face turned black, and his mood was mixed with emotions, so angry that his body hidden under his robe trembled faintly, and his cheeks, which were already less fleshy, became masseter muscles. raised.

It's no secret that Li Wu is fighting for the front right now. Because of their relationship with the God-Emperor, the Wu clan can be said to have defeated the Li clan's royal family.

Knowing that the honor and disgrace of the whole family is all about the God Emperor, all members of the martial arts family also love the house and love Wu in order to invite the God Emperor, and they flatter Xue Huaiyi to the utmost, regardless of the flow of scholars and ridicule.

But Xue Huaiyi, a rascal in the market, actually ignored their goodwill, and maintained such a close relationship with King Yong's family at such a sensitive moment.This thief monk, what idea is he playing?Do you want to bet on both sides and have both sides?

In addition to the resentment towards Xue Huaiyi, Wu Sansi had a sense of embarrassment that was even more difficult to contain.

In order to invite Xue Huaiyi, he took the initiative to propose that the "Vientiane" Daqu be used as a ritual and music. Although the prime ministers in the Zhengshitang rejected this proposal, would they laugh at Wu Sansi in his heart for being as stupid as a pig for making such a move? This kind of stupid suggestion from the enemy?

Several emotions were entangled, and Wu Sansi was in a bad mood, so that when he looked at the three kings in the room, anger almost gushed out of his eyes.These thieves are rebellious, and they are lucky to survive, but they dare to do these small tricks in a dark corner that no one knows about!

At this moment there are many people with miscellaneous eyes, even though Wu Sansi is in a bad mood, he knows that this is not the place for an outbreak.The three young kings are just a trivial matter, and it is a major matter to disturb the big drink that will continue later.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down a bit, then turned to look at the three kings, and said in a cold and distant tone: "I don't know how rare it is for a king to wait for fun, and he can actually assist Xue Shikuo in making a new song and presenting a gift. However, the courtiers are waiting for an order." The location is not the place where the music club will stay for a long time, the king and others are respectful and courteous, please do not make it difficult for you to stay."

Open the mouth to chase people, the tone is also impolite.Li Tong was naturally not in a good mood, but he also knew that the Wu family at this stage obeyed and served their aunt's words, and they had a sense of good luck to rely on the general trend.

On the other hand, their brothers, the threat posed by Qiu Shenji was still hanging over their heads, and they finally had the opportunity to meet Wu Zetian, but the result was still uncertain, let alone a conflict of emotions in person at this moment.

So he turned around and nodded to his two elder brothers, and then he was about to walk out.

Wu San thought about the actions of the three kings, and his eyes were even more disdainful. Since last year, how many feudal kings of the Li family in other states have been slaughtered like pigs and dogs.

Repelling the three kings casually brought him a rather subtle sense of satisfaction, and he turned his head and told his subordinates: "Afterwards, count all the people in the music club, and have a grand banquet, and you will be grateful, but you must not indulge in ugly things." stream!"

The three of them, including Li Tong, had already taken a few steps. After hearing this, his feet suddenly took root, his eyes fixed on Wu Sansi's face, and his fingers pointed to the trembling eunuch on the other side, cursing: "You bitch!" Slave, lowly slave! Even if you are a pig or a dog, you should know the crown and belt! My brother is the grandson of nobles, and the eyes of a dog dare to treat each other like an actor!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence inside and outside, especially Wu Sansi, who was closely watched by Li Tong, was so angry that the soft hat on his head bounced off.

Li Tong withdrew his finger pointing at the trembling eunuch, without moving his gaze, but grinned at Wu Sansi: "Little Wang is impatient and impetuous, he can't be sympathetic to slavery, and let the minister laugh at him. There are many rituals in the big banquet, and those who have both ability and political integrity Still can't calmly predict, let alone Shangshu? My brother is a small minister in the court, and a bad grandson in private. Is there a dog with the guts to bark? Master Xue will keep him to serve me, and when Master Xue returns later, I will tell myself, Shangshu please do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the two elder brothers who were still a little stiff, and went back indoors.

Wu Sansi froze in place, his face was already flushed red, his chest heaved violently, and even the veins on his neck where the sable tail was wrapped around were exposed.He really didn't expect that the young king who was regarded as a traitor would be so arrogant and arrogant, and he would be full of accusations and scolding, especially under the eyes of everyone, which made him almost lose his mind with embarrassment.

"Where is the halberd in the battle? Give me..."

He stomped his feet and growled, but an officer beside him rushed forward, pressed Wu Sansi's raised arm, and whispered in his ear: "Shang Shu, calm down, Shang Shu... the big cockroach is coming..."

Several people rushed forward and escorted Wu Sansi out of the room, except for the three brothers, there were only two eunuchs left in the room who were so frightened that they were out of their wits.

"I'm really sorry to involve the Zhongguan in miscellaneous matters. No matter what happens afterwards, my brother will be alone, and he will also ask Master Xue. Please don't get involved in the rest."

Li Tong was in a more anxious mood at the moment, so he pulled himself together to comfort the eunuch who had been implicated innocently, and then raised his hand to signal Li Shouli to sit in the seat next to the white porcelain basin ornament.

Li Shouli was also a little dazed at the moment, but after seeing Li Tong's signal, he quickly grasped the point and whispered in a low voice: "Xunnu, do you want me to throw weapons to kill thieves? But missiles can be accurate. If a real warrior rushes in, The porcelain basin is heavy, I can't make sure to throw the dog thief..."

Hearing this, Li Tong gave him a blank stare, and said weakly: "Who can you throw? Later on, there will be a benshi rushing in and hitting himself, the harder the better, as long as you don't die, you will save your brother!"

"what?"

Li Shouli's eyes widened after hearing the words, but he nodded quickly: "Listen to you!"

While speaking, he had already bent down to try the weight of the mountain ornament, and put his head on it, thinking about where to hit it.

"Sanlang, this, this...it's still me, I have promised my mother that I will never..."

Li Guangshun was also at a loss at the moment, and when he saw this, he wanted to step forward to grab the porcelain in his arms, but Li Tong raised his hand and held him back: "What good thing is worth fighting for? It's his fault, he is the heir of the family, and his life is more valuable .Hey! Don't move around, wait for someone to rush in before smashing."

Li Shouli returned to the table in embarrassment, turned around and asked with a smile, "What kind of plan is this?"
