After Li Tan wrote the letter to Zhu Xieli, he turned around and said that he was sick and could not go to court.

In the past two days, he must have been talking about the defeat. He didn't want to hear it, because he was afraid that he couldn't help but get angry with Li Heng.

Anyway, the world is his, so he can do whatever he likes.

Li Tan has entered the state of retreat again, but even if he retreats, he can't stop the people who come to the door.

Ji He is a worrying life. Although Li Heng has let him sit in Jing Zhaoyin's position, his authority is still much less than before.

After all, strictly speaking, what Ji He needed to take care of at that time was all the places under Li Tan's jurisdiction except Liangzhou.

That is basically a quarter of the land area of ​​Datang.

But he was calm, and once joked that he could finally take a break.

As a result, when something happened, he was more anxious than anyone else.

Li Tan felt a little helpless watching Ji He sweating while sitting there, he was actually sweating in the middle of winter.

Li Tan asked someone to serve him tea and refreshments, "Did you run all the way here? It's so hot."

Looking at Li Tan's calm expression, Ji He said helplessly, "I'm in a hurry."

Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What can make you so anxious?"

Ji He said: "The sage is discussing with the prime minister and others about the candidate for the new Marshal of the Army and Horses."

Li Tan twitched his forehead and asked, "Who is he going to fuck again?"

Ji He shook his head: "I don't know, but...no one can compare to Your Highness."

Li Tan immediately said: "You didn't say that directly to the saint, did you?"

Ji He said: "Of course not, but Your Highness... If you don't stand up, I'm afraid..."

"This makes you so anxious? Don't worry, the saint has already messed around once, and this time he shouldn't mess around again."

Ji He was a little anxious: "Your Highness, where is your courage? Thinking back to how impassioned His Highness was when he rushed thousands of miles to save Chang'an in distress, are you willing to be a king of idleness for the rest of your life?"

Li Tan lowered his eyes and said: "I would rather die in battle than die under suspicion. Now even if the saint asks me to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, I will refuse, because I am not sure whether the people around him will join or not." Slandering, I’m not sure what he will do, even if I go to war, I will be tied up, and to tell you frankly, if the Supreme Emperor is in power now, I will have no scruples.”

Ji He was taken aback for a moment, he wasn't stupid, but after hearing the defeat, and the defeat was miserable, he became a little anxious.

Now that he heard Li Tan say that, he understood the danger.

He sighed and said, "Then what should we do?"

Li Tan couldn't tell him that he had written to Zhu Xieli, so he had to say: "The sage will always have a way, and you don't bother the old man with the king of Fenyang. It's easy to be a general and difficult to end. , I have finally been able to provide for my life, so don't force me to stand out, the sage doubts me, and he won't take my life unless it is absolutely necessary, but it is hard to say for others."

Ji He was silent again, this time he was silent for an exceptionally long time, until he left Prince Ning's Mansion, he didn't say anything.

Li Tan watched his back as he left, and found that this gentleman who had always been upright had a rare curvature in his back.

For a while, Li Tan felt a little bit wronged for him, for those upright loyal ministers and righteous men.

Yes, although he himself was forced to be a quiet and handsome man, but because he was a nerd and didn't have much ambition, there was nothing unacceptable.

And the worse he looks now, the officials who like to stare at him when they have nothing to do will shut up.

After going through so much, Li Tan was too lazy to argue with them.

It's just that Li Heng really failed those officials who worked hard for the sake of the world.

After Ji He came here once, no one bothered Li Tan again.

Li Heng seemed to appreciate Li Tan's way of not interfering. He sent Li Fuguo to Prince Ning's mansion to deliver rewards for several days in a row, which made the people of Chang'an wonder: Is King Ning favored or not.

Li Tan was very calm in the face of these rewards, but don't reject them for nothing. Not only did he accept them, but he also quietly began to transfer his property to Liangzhou.

In the process of his transfer, the new Marshal of the Army and Horses was finally elected—this time King Jianning was replaced.

The court still had some complaints about this candidate. Of course, those ministers were not actually opposed to King Jianning, but the group of princes.

After all, Li Heng chose Zhao Wang Li Xi as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses before. At that time, everyone saw that Li Xi was also a good-looking talent, and it was said that he also made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. As a result... everyone has seen it.

Now that King Jianning is here again, everyone instinctively began to hold a skeptical attitude.

Of course, the only thing they don't doubt is probably the prince. After all, although he has never heard of the deeds of the prince leading the army, after all, he has been in Chang'an for so long, so he at least knows something.

And it shouldn't be reckless. The root reason why Li Xi lost so badly this time is that he was too arrogant and refused to listen to Li Guangbi's words. If it was the crown prince, he would certainly not be like this.

When Li Tan heard the news that King Jianning had become the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, he thought about it seriously, and felt that if it was King Jianning, he should be able to accept it.

However, it was also at this time that Li Tan knew that in order for Li Xi to become the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses smoothly, Li Heng directly assigned a lot of credit that originally belonged to King Jianning to Li Xi.

When Li Tan heard about it, he almost laughed angrily. Where did this pair of father and son come from?

He can understand Li Heng's mentality of not treating King Jianning as his own son. After all, the matter between him and King Jianning is too complicated, and Li Heng didn't get along with King Jianning before he disappeared, so naturally he didn't. learn.

Later, in Li Heng's eyes, probably Li Tan was his own son, even if Li Tan told him otherwise, he didn't believe it.

It's no wonder that since returning to Chang'an, King Jianning has been in a state of invisibility.

He is not young now, so he is naturally going out of the palace to build a mansion.

However, his throne is still the throne of the county, and the move has been made quietly, as if everyone has forgotten such a person.

At first Li Tan thought it might be that King Jianning himself wanted to keep a low profile.

After all, I heard that Li Heng was able to completely defeat Li Lin, and King Jianning contributed the most. If there was no King Jianning, I am afraid that Li Heng is still entangled with Li Lin now.

Strictly speaking, Li Lin was stronger than Li Heng. You must know that Li Heng had more soldiers, horses, food and grass than Li Lin at that time.

Li Tan recalled that in history, King Jianning was given to death because Li Heng was blown by the pillow wind. He still understands his wise behavior of protecting himself.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't that King Jianning wanted to keep a low profile, but that Li Heng was ignoring him from the beginning to the end!

This time, it is estimated that King Jianning needs to come out to the royal family, or to restore his reputation.

To put it more bluntly, he asked King Jianning to come out and clean up the mess for him.

Even though the relationship between Li Tan and King Jianning was rather embarrassing, he was also a little bit aggrieved at this time.

So he stopped retreating, turned around and began to appear at the banquets of some high-ranking officials, marquises and noble families, and then seemingly unintentionally talked about the feat of King Jianning stationed in Mawei Post by himself.

As for the pacification of Yongwang Li Lin's rebellion, because Li Tan was not in Jiangnan at the time, he naturally couldn't directly say that Li Heng was fooling everyone, but he would say with a puzzled face when others asked: "I didn't hear anything about Zhao Wang at the beginning." The ability to lead the army, if that's the case, why wasn't he the one who stayed to guard Mawei Post?"

Sometimes it doesn't need to be said too clearly, just this sentence is actually enough.

Many people who did not follow to suppress the rebellion, or simply returned to Chang'an from other places, instantly understood Li Tan's subtext.

Then after he supported King Jianning several times, Li Heng finally couldn't help calling him into the palace.

When Li Heng saw him, he said, "Did Sanlang really guard Mawei Post by himself?"

Of course Li Tan knew what he meant, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, many people knew about this at the time."

Li Heng said helplessly: "That's also because of the result of your support in Chang'an, and it's not just due to him alone. Why do you put all the credit on him?"

Li Tan looked at Li Heng incredulously, and Li Heng looked a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Li Tan asked: "Sage, is King Jianning your own?"

Li Heng couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "You're outspoken again!"

Li Tan spread his hands: "I don't understand now, he is a decent prince, wouldn't it be good to have merit? This shows that you have taught well."

Li Heng was silent. Seeing that he was silent, Li Tan simply said: "Let me tell you the truth, Li Xi doesn't want to protect him anymore. This time when he comes back, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his position as Prince. Too big a mistake."

Li Heng couldn't hold back on his face: "This... this is too serious."

Li Tan turned cold: "Do you think the [-] dead soldiers and their families will feel serious?"

Li Heng was speechless again, so Li Tan could only sigh and said: "Saint, because you insist on reusing King Zhao, now everyone begins to doubt your vision. What you have to do now is not to defend King Zhao, but to protect King Zhao." Choosing a suitable person proves that King Zhao lied to you and made you believe that he can do it. If you want me to say that the best candidate was the prince, but the prince cannot move lightly, so King Jianning is indeed suitable for this position, and since I have already chosen, so I need to give him more support, otherwise... I'm afraid he won't be able to do it well, if he can't..."

Li Tan didn't continue to say what he said later, if Li Heng still didn't understand at this point, he would turn around and go to the East Palace to conspire with Li Chu about the rebellion.

Li Heng simply understood, his mind finally turned around, and he said very moved: "It's still 31 Lang Shicheng who will tell me these things."

Li Tan said: "It's not that they don't want to say it, but they dare not say it. After all, the sage and King Zhao are father and son, so I don't care. It's not the first day we met. Who doesn't know who?"

Li Heng let Li Tan go away at ease. After leaving the palace, Li Tan originally wanted to remind Li Chu that he is also more dangerous now.

But after thinking about it, Li Chu has been as quiet as a chicken recently, and he understands after thinking about it, he doesn't need to make a special trip to the East Palace, what if Li Fuguo wants to say something to Li Heng again?

Li Tan turned his head back to the palace, but he heard that King Jianning was visiting as soon as he entered.

When he saw King Jianning, he found that he was calmer than before, and he didn't know if he had lost his temper under Li Heng's hands.

Li Tan greeted him and said, "Why do you remember me here?"

King Jianning said calmly, "I'm here to thank Uncle Huang."

Li Tan smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me, I just don't want to be pushed out by those people. Before Ji He and the others came to me and asked me to be the general of the army and horses, it was really scary."

King Jianning was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "Father...it wasn't like this before."

Li Tan said: "People will always change, and his position is not stable now. Naturally, everyone will doubt it. You just do your own thing and... don't be too honest, what should you say? You should think about it more, honesty is a virtue, but if you lose your life, how many people will remember your honesty?"

King Jianning was stunned for a moment: "This... can't be."

Li Tan said: "That's what I said, when are you leaving?"

King Jianning said: "In two days, it should be easier this time."

Li Tan raised his eyebrows. When the Li family went out to fight, but the crown prince sent him off in person, when he arrived at King Jianning, he became a light car and kept things simple?

If Li Heng really wanted to do this, he would dare to enter the palace again.

This is not because of Li Heng, but because Li Heng is the leader now, I am afraid that if this continues, everyone will be killed, and what should be said in order to survive is still to be said.

However, he wasn't sure what Li Heng would do, and he didn't remind King Jianning. He just told him the precautions, hesitated for a while, and still didn't tell him too much about Zhu Xieli.

Anyway, as long as someone asks now, what he said is that he hasn't seen Zhu Xieli for a long time, and he doesn't know much about it.

King Jianning left, and Li Heng didn't waste Li's talk in vain. Although King Jianning's posture when he went out to fight was not as good as when the Li family went out, it was still good.

This time when Li Chu sent off King Jianning, he was obviously much more sincere than when he sent off Li Xi.

And Li Tan, who didn't show up last time, also went out with him, and then he felt...it was so cold.

The recent weather has been getting colder every day, and there is a hint of snow. If it really snows, King Jianning will go north in the ice and snow. It is miserable to think about it.

While walking back in the carriage holding the hand stove, Li Tan suddenly wondered if there was enough carbon in Xingqing Palace.

After all, Li Longji used the best carbon in the country at the beginning, and now Li Heng may not provide him with this kind of carbon, but before Li Tan asked Qing Kong to buy some and send it over, but people are afraid of the cold when they are old. Maybe not enough.

And it's not just carbon, there are other things that I don't know if they are also missing.

Because Li Heng was so angry with him before, he didn't see Li Longji much, not to mention Li Longji, he didn't even meet Yang Yuhuan a few times.

Now that King Jianning has passed, at least he shouldn't lose too badly, so he can be relieved, so hurry over and have a look.

But when he reached the gate of Xingqing Palace, he was stopped.

Li Tan raised his eyebrows at the guard who stopped him and asked, "New here? Don't you know me?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Your Highness is joking, I don't know anyone and dare not not know His Highness King Ning."

Li Tan wrapped the sable fur around his body a little tighter, let out a big laugh and said, "How dare you stop me?"

The guard said: "His Royal Highness, the sage has decreed today that no one is allowed to enter Xingqing Palace without his decree."

Li Tan's heart sank after hearing this: "What? Is this going to put the Supreme Emperor under house arrest?"

The guard was startled by him, and his face turned pale: "Your Highness, Your Highness can't say that, it's because the Supreme Emperor is infected with the disease, and the saint is afraid of infecting others, so he doesn't let people come to visit."

Li Tan asked: "Haven't healed yet? Let's get out of the way quickly, don't you know how well I am cured?"

It is not surprising for Li Tan to hear that Li Longji fell ill. The decline in living standards is one reason, and more likely it is psychological reasons.

From the uncompromising emperor to the overlord who no one cares about, this psychological gap is not ordinary.

The most important thing is that the noble concubine he was looking forward to has now become someone else's taboo.

And that other person was still his son, Li Longji would be pissed to death if he found out.

Before Li Tan also asked Qing Kong to pay attention to the situation of Xingqing Palace. If Li Longji was not in good health, he would immediately go to treat him.

But he didn't go to see Li Longji at that time.

Maybe I still feel a little guilty. After all, when Yang Yuhuan decided to abandon Li Longji, he didn't object, and even had a faint intention of fueling the flames.

Now that he heard that Li Longji was ill, he felt even more guilty, so he was going to have a look.

The guard froze for a moment when he heard this, he had also heard about the fact that His Royal Highness King Ning was good at curing diseases and saving lives, but he didn't know if it was true.

But seeing that King Ning was so confident, he didn't know how to react for a while, so he finally had to grit his teeth and say: "Your Highness, don't make things difficult for us, we are also acting according to orders, if Your Highness wants to, why don't you ask for an imperial edict. "

Li Tan saw that the guard's nose was red from the cold, and he looked pitiful, so he thought about it for the same reason.

Li Heng gave them an order, and they naturally had to listen. If Li Tan was included, even if the starting point was to make the Supreme Emperor heal, maybe there would be no future in the future.

Under normal circumstances, Li Tan didn't like to embarrass these relatively low-level workers, so he turned around and got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

Over there, Li Tan was painting and asking, "Has the ice in Taiye Pond been chipped away? Foreign nations will come to court in a few days, and Wude Hall and other places should be repaired."

Li Fuguo was bowing to answer, when Li Tan came.

Li Heng's hand holding the pen paused, feeling a little puzzled, not knowing what Li Tan was doing here.

However, he instinctively raised his vigilance, and let Li Tan in while wiping his hands.

As a result, Li Tan came in and said: "Saint, please give me a handbook so that I can enter and exit Xingqing Palace."

Li Heng paused while wiping his hands, and asked: "The Supreme Emperor is sick, let's pass it on for a while, you used to get sick easily, what if the Supreme Emperor's condition gets worse?"

Li Tan chuckled: "It seems that the sage really forgot a lot of things. I was able to save He Zhizhang before, so it is no problem to save the Supreme Emperor."

Li Heng was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "The illness of the Supreme Emperor is not entirely physical, but psychological. I don't let you go for the good of the Supreme Emperor. Now the last thing he wants to see is the two of us. "

Li Tan: ...

How dare you say that?

Facing Li Tan's accusing eyes, Li Heng smiled and said: "Okay, Chinese New Year is coming soon, during Chinese New Year the Supreme Emperor will show his face no matter what, and then you will be able to see him."

Li Tan had no choice but to agree, Li Heng's heart disease, and the last thing the emperor wanted to see was him, he believed it.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Li Tan not to go and see Li Longji for such a long time.

One month before the Chinese New Year, good news finally came from the front line. After a hard fight, Datang regained the land of the two states.

And this time, Li Tan has been waiting for a long time for the report from the mansion. After all, Zhu Xieli wrote back to him and said that he had rushed over with his troops.

I don't know if there will be Zhu Xieli's recent situation in the mansion report. Think about the character of King Jianning. If Zhu Xieli really helped him a lot, it is impossible for King Jianning not to report.

After Li Tan got the mansion newspaper, he quickly glanced at it, and then felt relieved——Zhu Xieli is very safe so far, and King Jianning made the matter very clear in the memorial, and it is said that he can take Liangzhou Thanks to Zhu Xieli who saw through the opponent's conspiracy.

Moreover, one of those two prefectures was brought down by Zhu Xieli himself, and after he took it down, he left some people there to wait for the court to send officials there, and then he turned around and helped King Jianning and the others.

It can be said that the victory of these two states is actually the credit of Zhu Xieli.

Li Tan was very happy watching it at first, but when he saw the various utensils and clothes that King Jianning gave the soldiers to keep warm and cold, he suddenly felt distressed.

Fan Yang is in the Northeast, and there are many places in the Northeast that are not suitable for human survival in winter.

At least with the current level of technology, it is not suitable to live there, so Zhu Xieli must have suffered a lot there.

Li Tan was not particularly worried about military rations. After all, Zhu Xieli had an agreement with Li Heng that Datang would provide all military rations during the war.

Of course, if Zhu Xieli pays for it himself...it may be difficult to support.

The timing for Suma City to appear in front of the world is not particularly appropriate. Now the temperature in the Western Regions is not high, and there will be fewer caravans. We can only wait until next year to make full use of Suma City's geographical location.

But marching in winter requires not only military rations, but also warm supplies.

Li Tan thought about it and wanted to write to Liangzhou asking him to provide Zhu Xieli with warm clothes for the army.

The reply from Liangzhou reassured him a little. When Zhu Xieli left, they had already prepared for him to take it with him.

The rest is the problem of lighting the fire. If the high-level can use carbon or something, ordinary soldiers don't even think about it.

After all, carbon is still very expensive, but in Liangzhou, carbon is more expensive - there are few trees.

Even if there is a rich water system now, it will take a long time for trees to be planted and used.

Li Tan thought for a while and decided to ask someone to buy some carbon, and then find a way to send it to Zhu Xieli.

However, this matter is not suitable for doing it secretly, otherwise if someone finds out, to be more precise, it is discovered by Li Heng's people, I am afraid that someone will impeach him for collaborating with internal and external enemies.

If this charge is down, Li Heng will probably dance happily.

However, Li Tan didn't want to give him this chance, so he simply called Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe over.

These two went to Longyou and Hexi to report on their duties before. The embarrassing result is that the two of them are much better than the two Jiedu envoys in terms of military merit. Make him the best candidate.

The person Li Heng selected was probably on the same path as him. They were suspicious of Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong in every possible way, so they almost came to watch all day long.

So Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong resigned and ran away in a rage.

After this run, he ran to Chang'an, and came to ask to be Li Tan's retainer.

Li Tan had no choice but to take them in first, otherwise he couldn't just watch the two of them become unemployed, right?

Now it’s time for the two of them to buy some things for Zhu Xieli to send over. If possible, they can stay at Zhu Xieli’s place. Hungry master, it doesn't matter whether you cooperate with the enemy or not.

What's more, Ashina Chaoyi has not died yet, and the rebels have not been completely wiped out. At this time, even Li Heng dare not provoke Zhu Xieli, otherwise, what if Zhu Xieli withdraws his troops?

Anyway, let Li Tan talk about it, even if Zhu Xieli withdraws his troops, it will not have a big impact. King Jianning and Li Guangbi will still have problems fighting Ashina Chaoyi?

After all, almost all the rebels who could fight were killed, and Ashina Chaoyi didn't have any particularly powerful generals in his hands.

After hearing this, Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe didn't have any resistance. The two of them more or less knew the relationship between Li Tan and Zhu Xieli, and they also felt that they were happy in Liangzhou back then.

The two left happily, and Li Tan had to start preparing for the New Year. Of course, the most important thing was to prepare for the New Year's gift, and the most important thing was probably for Li Heng and Li Longji.

And this year, many people are destined to worry. It is reasonable to say that the annual gift to the Supreme Emperor is better, but Li Heng and Li Longji have a bad relationship. Anyone with eyes can see that many people are worried that Li Heng is not enough. Well, I'm afraid the emperor will make a note of it.

Only Li Tan prepared a lot of good things for Li Longji very honestly, but others did not dare to follow suit.

It's just that Li Tan doesn't need to worry about this matter, but he has to worry about other things—I don't know what Zhu Xieli thinks, but he actually sends his younger sister Zhu Xie Wenling to meet him.

Of course, Datang slapped a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man and said it was an audience, but in fact it was just an envoy sent by others to go through the motions.

Strictly speaking, sending the eldest princess here, although it seems that he attaches great importance to Datang, actually reveals a faint meaning that our Shatuo and Datang are on equal footing.

When Zhu Xieli sent an envoy to notify him, Li Tan saw that Li Heng's face turned livid in an instant, and for some reason he still felt quite happy.

Oh, Zhu Xiewenling still has another task to send back Princess Yuan'an.

Princess Yuan'an held most of the power of Heishui Mohe, but she didn't tell Li Heng, but Li Heng was very indifferent to this ill-fated daughter.

After Princess Yuan'an came back, she lived directly in the Taoist temple and went with Yang Yuhuan as companions, and Zhu Xie Wenling naturally lived in the inn.

Li Tan was so messed up by their show operation that he didn't know what Zhu Xieli was thinking for a while.

After thinking about it, he still decided to meet Zhu Xie Wenling in private.

Zhu Xie Wenling has grown into a big girl, and inherited the good looks of her parents. Although she is not as good as Zhu Xieli, she is optimistic and cheerful by nature, and she always has a carefree and innocent feeling that makes people feel happy. Forget about seeing it.

After seeing her, Li Tan said, "I don't know what Yin Xing thinks, why did you run so far alone?"

Zhu Xie Wenling smiled and said, "What else should we do? We are the only two left in our family besides Auntie. Sending someone else is not enough. Anyway, women in our tribe can do many things."

Li Tan shook his head helplessly and asked, "What task did he give you?"

Zhu Xie smiled cunningly when she heard the bell: "Brother said, let me find a way to bring Princess Yuan'an back."

Li Tan:? ? ? ? ?

Are you sick?Finally sent it back, and brought it back?Is it necessary to toss this one back and forth?

Seeing that Li Tan's expression was indescribable, Zhu Xie solved the riddle and said, "Okay, I won't shake you anymore, that's how it is. The marriage is done, and the emperor's heart will be at ease."

Li Tan was slightly taken aback after hearing this, this turning point really caught him off guard.

But that's fine, if you don't follow a bright path like this, Princess Yuan'an will be a black household in Liangzhou.

Anyway, she is also a real princess now, and marrying Shatuo is not a disgrace to that one.

But Li Tan knew Li Heng's convulsions very well, and he said, "I'm going to tell the saint about this later, lest he mess up the mandarin ducks."

Don't mention it, Li Heng really meant this. After all, Zhu Xieli has not married a wife yet. Since it is a marriage, why not marry a princess in the past?

If Zhu Xieli is dissatisfied with the clan daughter, so is the real princess.

When Li Tan heard about his plan, he really wanted to blow his head off.

After forcing himself to calm down for a long time, he finally said: "Zhu Xieli has... a childhood sweetheart, he has a deep affection for that person, and he still wants to marry that person."

Li Heng said as a matter of course: "We didn't stop him, he just married as a concubine if he liked."

Li Tan looked at Li Heng expressionlessly and said: "You let his beloved be a concubine? Believe it or not, he turned his face when he turned around?"

Li Heng was a little surprised: "How do you know so clearly?"

Li Tan choked, and then said: "I met Princess Shatuo two days ago and heard her talk about her recent situation. Don't you know that?"

Li Heng thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "I really didn't expect that King Shatuo is actually a lover, so I can feel relieved."

Li Tan was a little surprised: "Don't worry?"

Li Heng patted him on the shoulder and said: "People who are emotional will not achieve great things."

Li Tan... Li Tan's eyes were rolling to the sky.

But no matter what, Li Heng was finally persuaded. Li Heng didn't care about the daughter who just came back, and happily ordered Princess Yuan'an to marry King Shatuo Jingzhong, that is, Zhu Xie Wenling's cousin.

This decree was issued before the pen was sealed. After the decree was issued, the whole of Chang'an entered the third Spring Festival after the Anlu Mountain rebellion.

Compared with the previous two Spring Festivals, the people in Chang'an City were very enthusiastic this time.

And Li Heng didn't know if it was because it was the first Spring Festival after he ascended the throne, so he also seemed very excited, and the banquet was held for three days.

However, what surprised Li Tan was that Li Longji's original promise of Li Longji's appearance did not come true. He only said that Li Longji was seriously ill and it was not suitable for him to come out.

The more Li Tan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and at the same time he was somewhat suspicious. Not only had he not seen Li Longji, he hadn't even seen Gao Lishi much.

After much deliberation, Li Tan decided to take advantage of Li Heng's banquet and sneak into Xingqing Palace to take a look.

In fact, this is not easy. The excitement in the palace means that there are many people, and generally the protection ability will be stricter at this time.

Now Li Tan can only hope that the Ministry of Rites will make some loopholes, or else he will have to think of other ways.

On the seventh day of the seventh day, Li Tan saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was getting more and more lively, and even Li Heng got a little too drunk, so he got off his seat and danced. He looked around and looked for a The excuse to change clothes got out of there.

It was not easy to go from Daming Palace to Xingqing Palace, because the distance was a bit far, if he didn't hurry up, he would be found out soon.

So he directly chooses to walk in a straight line. After all, the straight line is the shortest between two points.

In this way, when Li talked about the vicinity of Xingqing Palace, he was already sweating from exhaustion.

He stopped to take a closer look, and found that the guards at the gate of Xingqing Palace looked more careful than that of Linde Palace, which made Li Tan very surprised.

And when he stopped, he discovered something even more strange about Xingqing Palace - the whole palace was as quiet as a tomb.

There was no sound of walking or talking, as if it was just an empty shelf with bright lights.

This abnormality made Li Tan more and more flustered, and finally found a shaded place with trees, directly placed a shadow on the tree, and then rushed to it.

The tree is not very tall, but it can still see some of the situation inside the Xingqing Palace.

Just as he had guessed, the entire palace of Xingqing Palace was lit, and no room was dark, but... there was no one in sight.

In such a situation where the inside is as bright as day, it is not too easy to go in silently.

But what made him feel relieved was that no one was inside the palace wall, which meant no one was patrolling, and he didn't need to worry about being discovered.

And even if the people around Li Longji found him, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Li Tan landed precisely in front of the main entrance of Xingqing Palace. At this time, the newly painted vermilion main entrance was closed. He tried to push it. He originally wanted to make some noise for someone to open the door for him, but it didn't work. Thinking of this push, the two doors opened directly, revealing the scene inside.

Li Tan's arms froze there, looking at the huge coffin in the middle of the hall, for a moment, he was in a trance like a dream

The author has something to say: I started to count on my fingers when Li Heng was cold, probably it will be only a few days.
