Tang Xuan

Three cases were placed on the imperial steps, Emperor Ming and Concubine Liang sat together, Ming Da was on the right, and Li Jin was on the left.The four chatted and laughed from time to time, and Emperor Ming's face became brighter.

Lang Huai occasionally raised his eyes to look at Mingda, seeing that she was still a little embarrassed, he couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering.The two were happy last night, Lang Huai was infatuated for a while and didn't grasp the measure, leaving some red marks on her neck, because of this, Ming Da didn't give her a good look for a whole day.

The ebony Qiaotou table is full of delicacies, and the wine is Jiannanchun from Shuzhong, which is a tribute, and it is a bit better than what Zhang Anren brought in Yizhou. However, Lang Huai lost the interest in drinking. A piece of air-dried venison, chewing without chewing, I don't know what to think.

She has backhands in everything, but she has never been able to figure out who the bad person who betrayed Li Qian would be.She also arranged Lang's most powerful nails, and she has been staring at them for half a year, but she can't do anything.

If this matter cannot be clarified, it will really make people sleepless.In comparison, Emperor Ming didn't care so much about the grace that Emperor Ming would give Li Jin.During the winter hunt, Li Jin was dazzled, and he attacked Li Xun first, but in the end he didn't dare to show any disrespect to Emperor Ming.Although he was imprisoned in the mansion at that time, Emperor Ming was reluctant to exile him for a long time, which shows that there was anger but no hatred.The battle in Lingnan did not go beyond Lang Huai's expectations, but they just beat up some bandits and confiscated the cottages of those barbarians.

When the specific details came back, Lang Huai was lucky enough to praise him—Li Jin was indeed a natural-born general, and the command of a hundred people was quite reasonable.When Lang Huai and Ming Da were joking, they also mentioned that if they were generals and appointed left and right generals, they also hoped to have someone like Li Jin on their side.

She was in a trance, Emperor Ming yelled several times before hearing it, he sat up quickly and said: "I was distracted for a while, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming didn't think he was disobedient, and said with a smile: "Jin'er told some interesting things about Lingnan, and I really found it interesting. He just begged me to allow him to go to Anxi, what do you think?"

Lang Huai was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, saying: "The sixth master is a great talent, and he should not be buried. But I think the situation in Lingnan is very different from that in Anxi, and I am afraid that the sixth master will not be able to adapt. Your Majesty, please make a long-term plan."

Emperor Ming laughed loudly and said: "Look, I will tell you that you can't do it."

Li Jin was not convinced and was about to speak when Li Qian on the left side of the hall said warmly: "Mu Gong is right, the sixth brother must not indulge." Since he is the eldest brother, he dared to ask for a favor for the sixth younger brother."

Emperor Ming stroked his beard and said, "Speak."

"The commander of the cavalry and guards of the Imperial Forest Army is getting old, and I have also handed over the old age certificate. My minister thinks that the sixth younger brother is the most suitable, so I recommend the sixth younger brother." Li Qian said calmly, "Also, my son recently Most of the ministers suffer from wind diseases, so I ask the father to take good care of his son and choose good ministers to manage the household department and the official department as soon as possible."

Lang Huai peeked at Ming Da, and the two had a tacit understanding.First, Mingda said: "Sixth brother, he..."

Mingda stopped short, and didn't say much, Lang Huai hesitated for a moment, wondering: "His Royal Highness Huai Wang is indeed right, but...but the Imperial Forest Army is really the key point, please think again, Your Majesty."

Li Qiandao: "The sixth younger brother has always been aiming at the battlefield, and the emperor would not wish to help him. Besides, the eldest brother is definitely not intolerant."

Sure enough, the last sentence touched Emperor Ming. He glanced at Li Jin beside him, saw the regret in his eyes, and couldn't bear it, so he ignored Ming Dalang's euphemistic advice, and said: "There is a neighbor, and Li Jin Promote Yizhou county king, and serve as the commander of the imperial forest army cavalry and military guards. The palace can be restructured according to the old Shu palace."

The king of Yizhou County will return to the title of king of Shu sooner or later.

After returning to Chongming Pavilion, the two went to the Tangchi to take a bath together.Lang Huai got into the hot water and sighed contentedly: "Advance by retreat, what a ruthless character."

Isn't it?Li Qian was so tolerant and retreated that he completely followed Minghuang's wishes. Now that Minghuang really didn't want to hurt people's lives, they could only bind their hands and feet and prepare passively.

"Sixth brother joined the imperial forest army, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Mingda shook his head, Lang Huai rubbed her head, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter. The station is not in the Daming Palace. What's more, even if there are many people, the force is the weakest among the five guards of the Imperial Forest Army, so what if we give it to him? If he grows up enough, he will know that we are actually helping him today."

"I hope that the sixth brother can grow up in Lingnan in one year." Mingda was speechless for a while, leaning against Lang Huai, and said: "Do you have a clue about that?"

That incident refers to bad people, Lang Huai leaned his head back, closed his eyes and said: "I never thought of a breakthrough. Si, tell me, could it be in the court?" She thought about this guess for a long time, She always felt that she was really ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, but seeing Li Qian's reassurance today, she couldn't help but make this guess.

Mingda's expression changed drastically, and he said: "There are only a few who have been with Daddy all the year round..." She suddenly stopped talking, and after careful consideration, she had to admit that this might not be the conjecture of the two of them, but a fact.

The two fell silent, and after a long time, Lang Huaicai said shyly, "I will try to find a way to test it out, so don't startle the snake."

Simultaneously with the imperial decree calling Li Yu to Beijing, there was also a secret decree from Emperor Ming.Coincidentally, after months of hesitation, Li Yu wrote a letter to Chang'an without telling the people in the mansion.

The young man pushed open the window and looked at the bright world, his brows became more determined.His child is about to be born, even if he knows that moths are flying into the flames, he will fight for it and give the child the identity of mother.She should not be just a concubine, but his wife.

As for the situation in Chang'an, Li Yu was very worried, but it was useless because he was beyond his reach.Every time Fang Shiquan talked to him, he would give him a full warning - taking care of Linzi is to give absolute support to His Royal Highness and Duke Mu.

If Mr. Fang knew that he had done such a foolish thing, he would probably jump up and smash his head.Li Yu couldn't help chuckling when he thought of this.

The sleeping Baoqin was awakened by his voice, put on his clothes and got out of bed, and said: "Your Highness, it's cold at night, why are you standing here?"

Li Yu came back to his senses, and said while closing the window: "Why are you up? Is it cold?" He always said that there was no need to call him like this, but how could Baoqin listen?I have to let her go.

Holding the piano already showing her bosom, she smiled softly and said: "It's not cold, it always feels hot."

The furnishings in the room are very similar to those in Prince Xiang's Mansion back then, but they are also different.The original paperwork on the big book table was replaced by paperwork, and there were more things that only a daughter's house would have.Because Baoqin was pregnant, the incense burner was also removed.There is only one plum vase on the plum blossom incense table, standing there is the red plum that Li Yu turned back in the daytime.

Li Yufu was beside the swollen belly holding the piano, listening to the movement inside, with a smile on his lips.Holding the piano over his ears, rubbing Li Yuruan's earlobe, said: "Your Highness, do you think it is a son or a daughter?"

Li Yu said in a low voice: "At first, I thought that my daughter would be the best. But now, I only hope that the child is safe and healthy, and the rest doesn't matter."

Knowing that he would answer like this, Baoqin said, "I think the same as you."

The husband and wife were silent for a long time, holding the piano and sighing: "Your Highness, I'm sorry. I stopped your letter."

Li Yu was taken aback, and quickly raised his head, only to see tears in Baoqin's eyes, and said with a light smile: "Have you ever thought about the current situation, your Highness, if there is any disturbance, you will be in trouble. And this trouble is life-threatening."

"I hope His Highness and the child are safe, so what is your status?" Baoqin wiped away his tears, and said, "Mu Gong has a great favor for me, does His Highness want me to cause trouble for her instead of repaying it?" ?” That day, Baoqin had already dismissed these things, so what about his status?A hundred years from now, the underground people won't care, so what are they afraid of in future generations?

The huge burden in Li Yu's heart fell to the ground. He hugged Ke Rener in his arms and sighed: "When the eldest brother becomes the throne in the future, I will go and beg him to demote me to a commoner. Okay?"

"When that day comes, Baoqin will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go. Our husband and wife will never be separated again."

"That would be the best."

The new year has passed, Lang Huaimingda is still in Chongming Pavilion, you and me, the bell in Chang'an Guozijian is ringing, and the 34-year spring is about to kick off.

Fang Wei passed away, Shangguan Yuan was not qualified enough, and this year's chief examiner fell to Ta Tuo Tuo, Minister of Rites.This barbarian has been in Chang'an for dozens of years, and he is well-deserved in terms of knowledge alone.

However, this year's chief examiner of the imperial examination, no matter how good he is on the surface, is secretly watched by the prince and Li Qian.Tatuotu looked at the filial piety scriptures set up by Emperor Ming in the Guozijian, and thought about the dangers of the Tang Dynasty's succession, and satirized in his heart-such a memorial archway, is it worthy of being erected?

Yu Chi'an, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was in charge of the martial arts examination. After the literary examination, he took the martial arts examination in the Taiji Palace.Wenju is much more difficult than it. Mingjing is a little easier, but the pass rate of Jinshi is extremely low. Each time there are only four or fifty candidates for the top three.

Among these candidates are the sons of noble families who want to gain fame and support from their families, and there are also those from poor families who hope that once they jump into the dragon's gate, they can turn stones into gold.

Tatuo Tu himself was born from a poor family, and with his hard work, impartiality, and vague luck, he became a second-rank official step by step.But looking at these candidates in the examination room now, I can't help but have a headache.

This time, not only Li Qian handed over the note, but even Li Xun, who never intervened in previous years, also handed over the note.Not only that, Li Xun also hosted a banquet in the East Palace in person, and invited Yu Chi'an and Ta Tuo Tuo to the banquet in advance. His words were subtle, and he only said that after the announcement of the rankings, he would drink and celebrate with the two of them.

What are you celebrating?

Tatuotu naturally understood that what Li Xun meant was to remind him, if he was so hesitant, Li Xun would definitely not tolerate him in the future.Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also the pinnacle of Tatuo Tu's official career, and he will not make any further progress.

But ask yourself, who doesn't want to make further progress?Tatuo Tu became more and more hesitant, because with his old-fashioned vision, he still can't see who is more dominant.

As for the bright side, so what?

It seems that His Majesty has to go to Mu Gong's mansion when he returns to the court.He returned to the chair and sat down, stroked his beard with his big hand, and took a cup of tea to drink.

On the day when Guozijian opened, Emperor Ming's chariot drove into Daming Palace.And the accompanying personnel from various prefectures also left the Zichen Palace after the banquet in the palace.

Not half an hour after he came back, Tao Jun hurried over from the outer courtyard and said, "Master, Mr. Tatuo Tu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, handed over the post, and he is waiting in the outer study."

Lang Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "So impatient?" She had just changed into her regular clothes, and because she didn't wear a crown at home, she only tied her hair with a silver hairpin.Mingda stepped forward and tied her purse around her waist, and said, "I'm afraid that what you want is here, why don't you go quickly?"

Lang Huai responded, and said again: "Please invite him to Yannian Hall. If he is really in the study outside, people will call me Meng Lang for no reason." Tao Jun sighed and went to invite someone over.Lan Jun and Zhu Jun took the cloak and helped Ming Da put it on, knowing that his master had something to say, they pretended not to know, and waited outside the door.

"You don't have to worry about following mother, just look at the scenery." Lang embraced Mingda, babbling non-stop: "Pray for a good amulet for brother Qi and sister-in-law, and I don't know if it's a man or a woman. By the way, when I come back If you have time, go and get back the scabbard and fresh gun."

Mingda pressed against her neck, rubbed his face slightly, and said, "I'll be back at night, you're so nagging, I might as well not go out."

Lang Huai kissed her forehead and said: "If possible, I really don't want you to leave me."

The two got bored for a while, in the end the time could not be delayed, Lang Huai sent her to the corridor through the side door, seeing that the figure could no longer be seen, he turned back and went to Yannian Hall.

Princess Gucheng is close to Tubo, and she and Tatuo Tuo have been together for several months, but they can't see through him.Now that this person came here, he probably took the news that Lang Huai had returned to Beijing privately back then, and came to ask for their cards.

If you can use it, take it back to yourself.If not, a cold light flashed in Lang Huai's eyes, and when he stepped through the threshold, his face was full of happiness again.

Isn't it?It's already February.
