Li Xian glanced at Li Xulun and snorted without saying anything. Li Hong was obviously not satisfied with Li Xian's attitude, so Li Xian had no choice but to change the subject directly: "His Royal Highness, I heard that Fujian is in chaos. I don't know what's going on now. ?”

After hearing this, Li Hong frowned slightly: "Dr. Chen led the troops to the south and repelled those barbarians for a time, but this year coincided with a famine, and the supply of military rations was already insufficient. In addition, Jian'an County was desolately populated and the climate was hot and humid. The young soldiers and officers are all sick, coupled with the sharp increase in the number of barbarian raiders, now they have retreated to Jiulong Mountain and are calling for more troops."

Li Xian originally just wanted to change the subject, but now that Li Hong really said it, he was a little confused again. I don't quite understand it, but he still knows the general location. Isn't Jian'an County the Fujian area of ​​later generations?

The climate in that place is indeed hot and humid, but...how could it be deserted?It must be a very busy place.

Li Xian was a little confused. In fact, the development of Fujian relied on maritime trade. Although the Tang Dynasty was ahead in all aspects, maritime trade was not very developed. In addition, there were many ethnic minorities, the transportation in Shanduo was not developed, and the climate Humidity and heat are easy to get sick. In ancient times when medical treatment was relatively backward, these were enough to make people migrate to other places.

"There must be more soldiers, but who should lead them? Chen Zheng seems to be capable, and his father and brother seem to be okay too?" Li Xian knew much more about the situation than Li Xian, and he obviously had some doubts. own analysis.

"I originally asked Prime Minister Zuo to lead the army in person, but A Niang rejected it." Li Hong said with a slightly sad expression.

Li Xian didn't speak, the banquet was almost over here, after all, although Li Xian was an idler, but the Prince Li Hong was not, and Li Xulun was still living in the palace, so he had to go back early.

Li Hong and Li Xulun left, but Li Xian stayed behind. Without the prince there, he was obviously more relaxed, and he couldn't even sit properly.

"Hey, our prince is getting more and more boring."

Although he hasn't had much contact with him, Li Xian has already felt that Li Xian treats Li Hong Ruowu Ruowu in all kinds of dislikes. What he has been imagining before is that Li Xian also covets the position of prince, so he treats Li Hong There was hostility, but no matter how much Li Xian didn't want to see Li Hong, he never expressed it directly.

Now I suddenly said such a sentence to him, is this person going to help?Li Xian felt a little tired, he especially wanted to tell Li Xian, dear, don't jump around, no matter how much you jump around, you can't resist Her Majesty the Queen.

"How do you say that? But I think His Royal Highness's complexion is not very good recently." Li Xian is not out of words. It is obvious that Li Hong is not in good health. He does not know medical skills, but he is alone. It is very easy to tell whether his complexion is good or not. From today's point of view, Li Hong's lips are a little purple, which shows that there should be some problems with his blood supply or heart.

Li Xian took a sip of tea and sneered: "Of course he's not looking good. Most of his invitations have been rejected by A Niang in the past two days. Can he still look good when he's dissatisfied?"

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there was such a relationship, he couldn't help asking: "Why did you reject the prince's invitation? Is the prince's invitation inappropriate?"

"Of course not...hey, let me tell you..."

Li Xian just wanted to say something, when he saw the eunuch Cheng Bao who was needed by Li Xian hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Pei, my lady has sent Huang Changshi to pass the sage's edict."

While speaking, Cheng Bao retreated to the side to let out Huang Changshi who was behind him. Huang Changshi walked in and saluted and said, "Huang Qi has seen the two princes, and the sage ordered the two princes to rush to the Zichen Palace immediately."

Both Li Xian and Li Xian were stunned for a moment, and Li Xian immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Huang Changshi, why did you call me so urgently?" It was only recently cultivated. As a former petty citizen, he felt pain when he saw that he had to give a lot of money to others.

Huang Changshi naturally smiled when he got the money: "You two princes don't have to worry, it's the lady who said that the prince is getting older and should be involved in some political affairs, and His Royal Highness has just arrived at the Zichen Palace."

After hearing this, Li Xian nodded and said, "Thank you, Changshi Huang, Brother Six and I changed our clothes and entered the palace immediately."

Huang Changshi just came to deliver a message, and it's time to go back and answer after the transmission is over. Li Xian and Li Xian looked at each other for a while, and then Li Xian said: "Brother, it's too late to go back to the palace, I still have some new clothes here, ah Brother, if you don’t mind it, let’s wear it for the time being.”

They just drank some wine, and they still smell of alcohol. It is obviously inappropriate to enter the palace like this, but Prince Pei's Mansion is not in Chongrenfang but in Yongxingfang. Although it is adjacent, it is troublesome to run back and forth. Li Xian is shorter than him, but the costumes of the Tang Dynasty are relatively bulky, and Li Xian can wear them properly.

"What do you dislike or not, hurry up and leave."

The two brothers ran to wash their faces and change their clothes. After grooming as quickly as possible, they got into the carriage and set off.To be honest, Li Xian originally wanted to ride a horse directly, but Li Xian vetoed it. Of course, Li Xian also wanted to try riding a horse, but...he couldn't, what if he fell off while running?

While sitting in the carriage, Li Xian was still wondering: "What happened again? Why did you suddenly call us over?"

Li Xian was even more confused, but he didn't bother to guess. Don't guess what Her Majesty is thinking. You can't figure it out after guessing. The only thing he needs to worry about now is that he doesn't know anything about politics... I understand, when the time comes, the eyes will be darkened and I will ask what I can't, will I be beaten by Her Majesty the Queen?

Zichen Palace is the place where Li Zhi handles government affairs. It took more than ten years for Empress Wu to finally step into this palace that symbolizes the supreme power of the country. At this time, there are three people in the palace. Empress Wu, and Li Hong, who sat next to him and looked a little embarrassed.

After Li Xian and Li Xian walked over to salute, they were given a seat under the crown prince's command. Li Zhi suddenly said, "The barbarians are making trouble. Recently, Chen Zheng, the official of the imperial court, has repeatedly asked for more troops. Liu Lang Shichiro, what do you two think?"

Li Xian was slightly taken aback, huh?They were still discussing this matter just now, but Li Hong's petition was rejected. Li Xian originally thought that the emperor and empress had already made a decision, so why did they come to ask them again?Do you really want to ask their opinions, or do you want to assess the sons' military talent and political sensitivity?
