Tang Xuan

Yuan Xuanhong didn't answer, just lifted his robe and sat down opposite Li Qian.Holding sunspots in his hand, he looked at the chess game.He moved like flying, and after Heizi got out of trouble, his counter-siege gradually became a victory, and he quickly covered up and killed Baizi's dragon.

Li Qian simply threw away the white jade chess piece clasped in his palm, and readily surrendered.

"I really didn't expect that you would come in person." Li Qian signaled Liang Qinfang to be calm, and said, "I didn't intend to make a move at this time, it was just a feint."

Yuan Xuanhong remained calm and said: "Your Majesty learned that the prince fell into the water, and also learned that Mu Gong went to Daming Palace and turned back. Your Majesty was not at ease, so he sent me to take a look at your hearts."

Li Qian laughed loudly, and said: "Of course this king is in the mansion, he doesn't care about world affairs, and ignores the disturbance." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Qinfang and said: "As for Commander Liang, he is naturally called to ask for leave, but in fact he is a favor Concubine, stay up all night."

Liang Qinfang didn't think he was disobedient, and smiled happily. Emperor Ming would definitely not be suspicious of him because of this. The key depended on whether Yuan Xuanhong would listen to Li Qian.

But since this person came here at this time, he must have been used by Li Qian long ago.Sure enough, Yuan Xuanhong nodded slightly as a response.

Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "How did the investigation go?"

Yuan Xuanhong said: "Your Majesty has not used it for four or five years. It is difficult to find out the news, and it is all cumbersome."

Li Qian knew that this matter was difficult, so he didn't make things too difficult, saying: "Please trouble Yuan Shuai, if everything is entrusted to a small seal, what else is this king planning? Now, don't worry about this matter! "

Yuan Xuanhong said: "Will His Majesty give it to the crown prince?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times. How could you give him such an important thing? Maybe he really didn't care about state affairs, so he simply asked someone to clean it up."

Liang Qinfang listened to it for a long time before she heard something famous. I'm afraid this refers to the Xingxi that Emperor Ming used to use since he ascended the throne.It's just that Emperor Ming didn't use it much after it was opened for 28 years.It has been three or four years since I saw it show up.

"Will it be given to the girl?" Liang Qinfang wondered, "Your Majesty's love for the girl may only be comparable to that of Empress Jiang when she was alive."

Li Qian and Yuan Xuanhong looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "No matter how much my daughter's family loves me, she still wants to marry." Li Qian rubbed his brows and said, "What's more, in the past few years, although my father has held Lang Huai in high regard, among them But there is always the meaning of consideration. The emperor definitely doesn't trust her as much as he does on the surface."

Li Qian stood up and said: "Time is running out, I don't want to talk nonsense. From today until Father Emperor Qianqiu, the previous arrangement will be more complete. I am too lazy to go around in circles, so I must catch everything in the palace."

He continued with a blank expression: "My son can be born again, even if I sacrifice Hang'er, I will not hesitate."

Liang Qinfang understood what he meant, her back suddenly shivered, and she hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already arranged people to keep an eye on the East Palace, and no one will be missed."

Li Qian glanced at Yuan Xuanhong, who had put on the hood, and said: "My sister's people will arrive in half a month, please use Yuan Shuai well. Don't worry Yuan Shuai, I will never break my promise if you want it!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will live up to what you entrusted." Yuan Xuanhong cupped his hands in salute, and said, "It's getting late, and I have to return to the palace to return to my life. Your Highness forgives my sin." After he finished speaking, he opened the window and disappeared into the night middle.

Li Qian walked to the door and said with a smile: "Now the commander is [-]% confident?"

Liang Qinfang sighed: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and I admire you. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will follow you to the death." He was the first to advise against the mutiny, and Li Qian never doubted his loyalty, so he hurriedly pulled Liang Qinfang who was about to salute , Said: "You and I feel like old friends at the first sight. In the future, the friendship between the monarch and his ministers will be enough to be recorded in the history of the king, and the name will last forever."

One day Mingda was bored alone in the mansion, remembering that Lang Huai's Chunjun sword was about to run out of oil.Ming Da simply changed his clothes, and only brought Lan Jun along to buy some oil from the craftsman's shop.

The shop is located in Xishi, and it is an ordinary courtyard house.The boss was barebacked, with a leather shawl around his chest.All the people who came to the shop were military generals or famous people from the rivers and lakes. He never expected that Mingda, who had visited once before, would come again.

"Ma'am, sit down!" The boss knew that his clothes were extremely disheveled, so he hurriedly retreated into the room and changed into a coarse cloth coat before he came out.Since he had met Chun Jun, he naturally knew the identities of Lang Huai and Ming Da.

The boss personally invited Mr. Mingda Zhu to sit down in a clean corridor, poured a glass of water, and said: "What do you need, just send someone to get it, why don't you come in person?"

Mingda smiled to explain his purpose, and said, "Uncle, I think your business here is really good!"

This sentence touched the boss's heart, and his gray beard trembled slightly. He said: "This is not bragging, our Kang family's ancestral craftsmanship has accumulated a reputation for 300 years!"

Mingda became curious and said, "Then can you take me to see it? She always praises that your craftsmanship is the most reliable, and you make everything for armor."

Boss Kang responded, and said, "Then can you please move? I will take you to have a look."

When he arrived at the warehouse where the finished products were stored in the backyard, Mingda only felt a chill hit his face.There are all kinds of weapons in the house, almost all kinds of swords in the east, and all kinds of weapons in the west.

Boss Kang explained: "Come to our shop to customize or repair weapons. There are many people in the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu are accustomed to using swords, so most of these belong to those people. Most of these belong to our army generals. Ordinary soldiers can't afford the money." Of course, in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, our shop also has people who regularly go to supervise the work.” Boss Kang carefully took down a Modao, and said: “Look, this is the Modao that the commander of Jinwuwei Road only wants. This is The villain forged it with his hands, and it took eight months for Commander Lu to wait."

Mingda stretched out his hand to take it, but felt that the knife was rather heavy.She stabilized her mind before slowly pulling out the scabbard.Since practicing martial arts, Lang Huai had told her a lot about swords and weapons, and Mingda naturally understood why this sword had been forged for eight full months.

"Uncle is really good at craftsmanship! If my Tang soldiers can have such a killer weapon," Ming Da knew that these words were just wishful thinking, so he stopped talking.Suddenly she was curious and asked, "Uncle, can you make me a body armor?"

Boss Kang was stunned for a moment, and said with a naive smile: "You can do natural things, but you are so honorable, how can you use them?"

Since Ming Da thought about it, he said: "You don't care about these, I just ask when can I get it?"

Boss Kang saw that this man was not joking, so he said: "Then please wait a bit, I'll ask Zhuo Jing to measure for you. Since you want it, you should do your best for the small one, about three to five months."

Ming Da glanced at Lan Jun and said, "Sister, I beg you to keep it from Ah Huai!"

Lan Jun could only say: "Yes yes yes!"

Boss Kang invited Mingda to his backyard, asked his wife to measure Mingda's size and record it, and then asked Mingda, "Ma'am, do you want a helmet for face protection?"

Mingda remembered that there was indeed an army wearing a mask beside Emperor Ming, so she hurriedly said: "I want it!"

"Then wait a moment!" Boss Kang left like a gust of wind, and came back after a cup of tea with a basin, but inside was the dough that had risen.He looked at Mingda's face, took a piece based on his experience, handed it to Lan Jun and said, "This is a small inconvenience, so I will trouble you."

After a moment of astonishment, Mingda had no choice but to hold his breath, and let Lan Jun take a mold on her face with a suppressed smile.

Boss Kang took it carefully and put it away, and said happily, "It's done!"

After returning to Weiyang Residence, Lang Huai was still not there, so Mingda oiled his short sword according to Mr. Zhu's instructions.

She thought of the light armor Lang Huai wore when seeing off his relatives, and asked curiously: "Why is Ah Huai's armor so thin? I see Lu Sange and his armor are very bulky."

Mr. Zhu said: "This is what the girl doesn't understand. I used to be a cavalry soldier in the vanguard battalion. What I want is speed and agility. The third brother is the second-in-command of my master. He is in charge of the most important two hundred elites. He is a heavy cavalry in full armor. " She listened carefully to the surroundings, and said again: "Besides, after all, the master is...he is heavily armored, and he is exhausted after all."

If Mingda realized something, he didn't say anything.

Li Xun's health has recovered, but the shock of falling into the water was so severe that he couldn't sleep at night.In just half a month, the person lost a lot of weight.He was powerless, and the government had to hand over Tatuo Tu, who had just taken office.

Emperor Ming looked at several memorials, and then got a report from Yuan Xuanhong, seeing that Tatuotu was impeccable, so he was really relieved.

"You searched for a few days, the guard died strangely." Ming Huang said halfway, Yuan Xuanhong hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, I went to Huai Palace that day, and His Highness is indeed in the mansion. Commander Liang spent the night with his new concubine. There is no change in Fengliu, and the guard is clean, he committed suicide suddenly, I didn't expect that there would be involvement behind this matter, and the lack of precautions was the negligence of the minister."

From what he said, Emperor Ming knew Liang Qinfang's character, so he believed it eight percent. "Do you think this is just an accident?" Emperor Ming was thoughtful, maybe he was really suspicious?

"I don't know." Yuan Xuanhong didn't answer clearly, but gave an ambiguous answer: "I only believe in evidence."

The implication is that there is no evidence now.Emperor Ming remained calm and said, "Where does Weiyang live?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the girl was going to the East Palace to visit the prince when she found out that day, but she was stopped by Duke Mu." Yuan Xuanhong thought about it and said, "Grand Mu brought a personal eunuch to ask to see him, but for some reason she was stopped by a Jinwu guard. Said a few words and returned."

Lu Youlin, who was behind Emperor Ming, instantly grasped the meaning of punishment in Yuan Xuanhong's words, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.Sure enough, Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows lightly, and Lu Youlin had followed him for decades, so he naturally understood that he was really suspicious.

He searched his guts, and hurriedly said haha: "Mu Gong's child has a quick temper, probably because he couldn't stand our girl, so he had to come outside the palace to inquire about news. Fortunately, this child understands etiquette, otherwise, wouldn't he be trespassing on the palace? "

Sure enough, Emperor Ming remembered his daughter's naughty temper, laughed and said: "Yes, yes. I see that Ah Huai can't dote on her, well, there is a neighbor, you have time to go to Weiyang Residence, and give Mingda some advice. point."

"Yes, this old slave obeys." Lu Youlin was in a cold sweat, knowing that the matter had been exposed.He stood bowed and never saw Yuan Xuanhong narrowing his eyes and giving him a faint glance.

On that day, Lu Youlin brought some novelties newly purchased in the palace, and the grapes that Loulan paid tribute to Weiyangju.

Lang Huai had not returned from training soldiers, Ming Da held Lu Youlin's arm affectionately, and said, "The chief supervisor hasn't come to see Ming Da for a long time."

Lu Youlin didn't shy away from it, and walked into Yannian Palace with her, saying: "Young lady is loving now as husband and wife, Your Majesty and this old slave are at ease. During this period of time, His Majesty can't sleep well at night, so he has less free time. The young lady is free. , and go to the palace more often. Your Majesty always likes girls."

Mingda hummed twice, and said: "Father's elixir superintendent persuaded me, there are a few alchemists in the past..."

"Miss, keep quiet." After entering Yannian Hall, Lu Youlin relaxed a little.He was hesitating whether to tell Mingda about Yuan Xuanhong's change, but he heard that Mingda's words were going to cause trouble, so he hurriedly stopped him.

The two looked at each other, both showing some helplessness.Emperor Ming spent the whole day either playing music for fun, or researching elixir with some Taoist priests in the Hall of Eternal Life in an attempt to live forever.

But when it comes to longevity, how can it be achieved by taking a few pills?

"Girl," Lu Youlin accepted the teacup offered by Mingda, and decided to mention it. He recounted the day's events as they were, and finally joked: "You, you are still so reckless. If it weren't for Mu Your Majesty stopped me, if you really broke into the palace, you will embarrass Your Majesty to death."

Mingda nodded shyly and said: "Don't mention it, the superintendent, Mingda knows it's wrong! I also ask the superintendent to confess to my father. Ah Huai is so annoying to me, so I had no choice but to go around outside the palace. Knowing that the eldest brother is fine, Come back and tell me right now."

After staying with Lu Youlin for a while, this indispensable person beside Emperor Ming saw the curfew approaching, so he took his leave and left.Mingda sent him into the carriage, and seeing the carriage heading north, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Jun beside him, and said, "Sister, go find Ah Huai and make her come back at night!"
