Xian Xian

August 16th, the autumn light is swift, and the ground is covered with silver frost. The Mid-Autumn Festival had just ended. When the officials met in the imperial city, they all greeted each other. Everyone was talking about the excitement, coming from a distance? A red lacquered gold figure, when the officials saw it, they gathered their expressions and saluted: "See Shengyuan Zhen Country? Princess?."

On the twenty-sixth of last month, the cat demon made chaos in Miyagi. Li Chaoge was ordered to turn the tide and kill the black cat under the sword. Tian Hou was frightened, and took three days to recuperate in the palace before she was relieved. After that, the queen gave a big reward to Princess Shengyuan, and the graceful gift of marriage to Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, and took the opportunity to revoke the suspension of punishment. Li Chaoge not only reinstated the official, but also awarded the title of Princess Shengyuan Zhenguo.

The word "zhenguo" is extraordinary. The title of ordinary princess? Either? It is the place name of the place, such as Princess Guangning?, or? Is the word symbolizing auspiciousness and virtue, such as Princess Wende? There has never been a princess? Can? Add "town" to your title Country?" suffix.

After all, Li Chaoge was rescued by the black cat twice? The Queen, how can the Queen give her a lavish reward? Understand, but the emperor didn't know why, so he didn't care about it. During this period of time, the court was not peaceful, everyone smelled the scent of the rain coming? The building was about to pour. However, Li Chaoge at the center of the storm did not rush to heal in the mansion. She blocked a blow for the queen at the time and was caught with ten blood holes in her arm. Although Li Chaoge resumed the post of commander, she did not go to court during this period. Instead, she "healed her wounds by order". She Shi Shiran returned after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

Today is the first time Li Chaoge has appeared since her suspension. When the officials saw her, they had mixed feelings and different feelings. Where did Li Chaoge go, where was the chatter and laughter? It was quiet, and Li Chaoge didn't care, and walked into the town demon division swayingly all the way.

The Dali Temple next door is also very busy. Some time ago, Li Chaoge suspended his post and took away Gu Shaoqing, the chief of Dali Temple. After Li Chaoge was reinstated, Gu Mingke also resumed his post. Li Chaoge relied on his work injury and was very arrogantly paid vacation, but Gu Mingke didn't have such a thick skin. The next day, he went back to Dali Temple to work overtime.

The nominal leader of Dali Temple is Dali Temple Qing, but Dali Temple Qing is very old and does not have the energy to deal with heavy daily tasks, so the actual principal of Dali Temple is Gu Mingke. After Gu Mingke was suspended, no one in Dali Temple signed, and many cases were forced to be suspended. It was so easy to wait until Gu Mingke's reinstatement. He had already waited for the impatient Dali Temple officials to flock up. In the past few days, Gu Mingke had to deal with the official duties he had accumulated before, and he had to take over new cases. He was so busy.

However, Li Chaoge rested until the Mid-Autumn Festival, before condescending to be "invited" back to the court. Li Chaoge entered the gate of the Town Demon Division, missing the long-lost environment in his heart. There was a gong knocking suddenly behind the door, and the town’s demon division’s official staff quickly ran out of the room? They lined up on both sides, leaning their necks? shouting: "Welcome." The commander is back?. Congratulations to the commander for the tie!"

Li Chaoge didn't expect this when he entered, and he was taken aback by the sudden sound. Moreover, I don't know if it is Li Chaoge's illusion, she always feels that the Dali Temple next door seems to be stagnant?.

The Town Demon Division and Dali Temple are adjacent to each other, and these silly screams must have been heard next door. Now that the imperial decree of marriage has been announced to the world? No one in the imperial city knows that Li Chaoge's horse is Gu Mingke, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Li Chaoge was so embarrassed that she fisted hard, she pulled the corner of her mouth without a smile, and asked, "Who taught you?"

When everyone saw that Li Chaoge was angry, they immediately implemented the spirit of "Brothers? Are birds flying with the forest and birds flying on their own", and they all pointed at Bai Qianhe. Bai Qianhe was pushed out from the corner? He smiled weepingly and flattered: "Today is the first day the commander returns to the town demon division. I want to give the commander a surprise and make you happy. Hahaha , Commander, how funny you look."

Li Chaoge looked at Bai Qianhe with a sneer, slowly moving around. "It's really funny."

The rest of the people broke up with a roar, and they ran away in no time. Relying on his light work, Bai Qianhe jumped up and down in the Town Demon Division: "The command makes you calm. The injury on your arm is still not healed, can't you move? Wu...Oh, lightly..."

After Li Chaoge repaired Bai Qianhe, the Town Demon Division finally returned to normal order. Zhou Shao and Mo Linlang waited for Bai Qianhe to be beaten almost before they took official duties to the main hall to find Li Chaoge.

"Commander." Mo Linlang held the half-person-tall scroll in his arms, piled it on Li Chaoge's desk, and said, "This is the case that has been accumulated during this period of time? It hasn't been dealt with yet, Commander. Please have a look."

Li Chaoge couldn't speak for a while looking at the file that flooded the counter in an instant. However, it didn’t stop there. Zhou Shao took out a list from his sleeve and said, “These files are things about monsters and ghosts handed over by other departments and other places. Besides, there have been more in the past month. Many people reported the crime. An Yefang was haunted, and a student in Meng County encountered a fox demon on his way to the exam. He was deceived and deceived. Several chickens were lost in Baima Temple..."

"Wait." Li Chaoge listened more and more outrageously, and had to stop Zhou Shao, "White Horse Temple lost the chicken? Why is this kind of thing? Call the Town Demon Division?"

Bai Qianhe quietly turned Mo Linlang with his elbow: "Isn't the monk a vegetarian? Why is there a chicken in the White Horse Temple?"

"The monk eats eggs." Ma Linlang lowered her voice and whispered quietly, "If there are eggs, we naturally need to raise chickens."

Bai Qianhe said "Oh" and nodded thoughtfully, "That's true."

Zhou Shao ignored the two people whispering nearby. He spread his hands and said truthfully: "I don't know. The novice monk at the White Horse Temple suspected that someone had stolen the chicken, but they stared at it for several days and didn't find the thief? They thought it was. The spirits are making trouble, so I have to report to the Town Demon Division."

The expression on Li Chaoge's face was indescribable. She resignedly sighed, and said, "Put everything down? I'll take it slow."

"Yes." The other three people crackled and put down? A lot of things before finally retiring. Li Chaoge drew out a scroll at random, and after only reading two lines, he felt a headache.

The town monster division killed several monsters in succession, and gradually established prestige among the people, but troubles followed. Many trivial things, such as encountering ghosts at night and throwing chickens at Xicun’s head, etc., were unfounded and imaginary, and they were expanded into monsters by the suspicious people, and they were reported to the town's monster department. It was a good thing for the people to report that they trusted the Town Demon Division, but Li Chaoge really didn't want to care about the unthinkable thing like throwing a chicken.

She resisted being impatient and flipped through the scroll, and she put it into another bamboo basket a little more reliably. The others were all nonsense cases? All were thrown into the wastebasket by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge turned it over for a while, silently kneading his sore neck.

Does she understand why? Gu Mingke had already gone back to work at Dali Temple. Facts proved that Gu Mingke was right and his work would not be reduced. Sooner or later, he would have to deal with these things. It is better to go back sooner.

Li Chaoge leaned back in his chair and sighed.

Li Chaoge was suspended on July 18. Her suspension was revoked at the end of July, but she did not return until August 16. During this month, Datang Haiyan cleared the river, and all over the world was rising. It seemed that everything was on the right track, but under the undercurrent, many things changed.

Li Chaoge was named the "Princess" of Zhenguo, and the town was more than that of the prince, the most in history. Li Changle became a monk and moved to Shangqing to observe and repair outside the city. The daughter of the king of Jiangxia County, the county lord of the city, was named Princess Wende, representing Datang and Tubo Zanpu.

At this point, the marriage of the three princesses in the palace has all settled. After the palace gave Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke to marry, it was not appropriate for Gu Mingke to live in the princess's house as a quasi-marriage. Therefore, after the marriage decree was promulgated, Gu Mingke also found a reason and moved out of the house.

After all, Gu Mingke was "robbed" to the princess's residence. Li Chaoge's marriage hadn't been decided before, and it was not convenient for him to leave. Now all the dust has settled. According to the custom of unmarried couples not seeing each other before marriage, Gu Mingke shouldn't keep it anymore. However, Gu Mingke did not return to Pei's house, but bought another mansion in the city and set up his own business.

Parents are here, regardless of family, Gu Pei still lives in Pei's house, but Gu Mingke has moved out of his own accord, and he has to say that he means to draw a line. But Gu Pei has no energy to pursue Gu Mingke, because now the Pei family can't protect themselves.

After the news of Pei Ji'an's refusal to marry was spread in Pei's family, it was almost like a scoop of water poured into an oil pan, and the flowers exploded in an instant. Pei’s family is very lively these few days, Pei Xiang? Angrily scolded Pei Ji'an, and wanted to take him to the palace to apologize, Pei Ji'an refused, Pei Xiang? After being furious, he moved the family law, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei. After hearing that he was so frightened, he hurriedly stopped, and the whole Pei family was in a mess. At this time, who would care about Gu Mingke.

But no matter what the trouble is, the court and the court have a consensus, that? It is in front of Princess Wende? and her parents? No one can? Toss to the bright side. The ugliness of the family should not be publicized. No matter how much hatred there is, you have to endure it until the Tubo people are gone.

Li Chaoge dealt with the backlog of cases for a month, and the palace was also busy preparing for the marriage of Princess Wende. Princess Wende has received Dongdu from Rencheng, and has been living in Ziwei Palace as a princess during this period. At the beginning of September, the emperor Tianhou led a hundred officials of civil and military affairs to visit Luoyang city in person. The empress eagerly bid farewell to Princess Wende, and watched Princess Wende and her family go away.

The Tubo people took Princess Wende’s Luan and left, and the marriage finally came to an end. But everyone's mood did not relax, because they knew that after the autumn, the settlement was just beginning.

Farewell to Princess Wende? It's an event of the court, Li Chaoge and the prince? Li Chaoge saw the prince? and the prince? concubine in the team, she glanced casually, and then took it back, and didn't take the initiative to speak. After seeing Li Chaoge, Li Shan hesitated to speak, but in front of many courtiers? What did he say after all?

Princess Wende? After leaving, the empress drove back to the palace. After the Palace of Renshou, the foreign ministers saw that the emperor was not in good spirits, so he would leave after a few words of condolences. Gradually, only his own people were left in the temple. Li Shan's fingers gradually squeezed, and sure enough, he heard the queen say: "The foreign ministers are all gone, right? The others stay?"

Li Shan's heart shrank suddenly, then his face was relieved. This sharp sword hung on his head for a month, and now it's finally time to fall.

Today is the day to bid farewell to Princess Wende. Except for Li Changle, who is a Taoist priest outside the city, the other princes and princes are all there. Wu Wang, Li Zhen, Li Huai and others were shocked and all cheered up. The prince? Concubine is not good at nurturing qigong after all. She looked at the prince nervously and whispered: "His Royal Highness?..."

"Prince? Concubine and prince? What are you talking about?" Suddenly a voice rang from the head, and the queen looked at them with a smile, and said unhurriedly, "What? What, can't even this palace be heard?"

The prince? Concubine trembled in her heart. She forced her smile to raise her head and said dignifiedly: "I don't dare. I can't talk to the prince? It's nothing? Especially, it makes the queen laugh."

"Really?" The Queen said with soft eyes, "Ben Gong thought that the prince? Concubine was talking to the prince? What bad things about Ben Gong."

The crown prince? Concubine's face became stiff, and immediately couldn't maintain her smile. But Tianhou? Didn't take the prince? Concubine seriously. After she beat Donggong, what? Without saying anything, she turned to Li Chaoge: "Chaoge, the black cat, have you found out?"

Li Chaoge quietly glanced at the prince? The couple took a look, stepped forward? One step, and said, "I told the queen, the son has found out the whole story. This black cat is unknown? Where did it come from, five years ago? It suddenly appeared on the scene. Ye Ting, afterwards, no one knows where it lives. It has acted frequently in the past two years, but most of the time it is hidden in Ye Ting. On February 30 this year, it killed the first life, and then it was courageous. It’s getting bigger and bigger, and it’s actually focusing on the Korean lady and the queen. On March 24, after the maidservant Helanmin was killed violently, the black cat’s next target was originally the Korean lady, but his son Fengtian was the queen. Ordered to go to Helan Mansion to investigate the case, the black cat saw the son, the target shifted, and Mrs. Korea escaped. In July, the cat demon attacked the son and the queen, but it failed twice, but it was still dead. It didn’t know what? The method? It quickly increased its demon power in a short time, and then it attacked the queen. Fortunately, the queen was blessed by the heavens and no accident happened. Now the black cat has fallen, and the saint queen can rest assured that this cat will never make trouble again. NS."

The Queen of the Palace Banquet was really frightened last time. Such a strong person, the Queen of Heaven, took a rest for several days before returning to normal. Since the cat demon queen appeared in Shangyang Palace, the palace gates have been investigated very strictly. Li Chaoge has placed demon-expelling talisman in each palace gate. If the cat demon was not attached to Mrs. Korea, it would definitely not be able to enter the palace.

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, the few people standing in the hall were obviously tense. What is the Queen of Heaven? People, Javier must be reported to be slashed and rooted. No charge can be made? We have accused the enemy Zhiluo, and now such a big thing hits the hands of the Queen, how can the Queen give up?

Before? I was scrupulous about getting married, but the Queen kept pressing but not sending? Now, it's finally time to calculate the general ledger. The back of the sky smiled blankly, and said, "The cat demon is punishable, but who knows if it has any accomplices? The last time I went to the Yang Palace, the investigation was so strict. I couldn't find it inside and out? Three times, I was still caught by the cat. The demon fled outside the palace. If no one of them answered, who would believe it?"

Needles dropped in the hall can be heard. The emperor lay on the couch, breathless, but did not stop the queen. After all, the Queen of Heaven is the wife who has been with the emperor for twenty years? She shares honor and disgrace with the emperor, and her relationship is extraordinary. Tianhou was almost killed by the cat demon, and the emperor felt sorry for him, so he let Tianhou post it. Even the Queen gave Li Chaoge the title of Zhenguo Princess, the emperor acquiesced.

Even if the emperor is cold, he is still a person. Wife? Almost killed, how about the emperor? Can? Not distressed? Li Chaoge saved the queen again, no matter who the black cat was, Li Chaoge made a contribution. Comparing with Li Chaoge's merits and abilities, her rebellion against the prince, Zhang and other things, is really not worth mentioning.

After Tianhou had finished speaking, all eyes fell on Li Chaoge. It is known both inside and outside that the queen now relies heavily on Li Chaoge, and Li Chaoge is responsible for the case of the cat demon. To put it hard, now Li Chaoge says who is the cat demon's party, then who will immediately? It's unlucky.

The expression of the prince? Concubine is hard to look? Li Shan was advised by the prince? Concubine and the prince? Young teacher, the master Zhang sent Li Chaoge to Tubo to make peace. When the prince concubine promoted it, he never thought that it would fail. One is the princess? The other is the prince of the East Palace? Does the emperor need to consider who will choose? But who can? Think that Li Chaoge was not sent to marry him, and he didn't even avoid suspicion. He married someone he liked and was promoted to another position.

Now that the family and the family have gone, Li Changle was sent outside the city to go home, but Li Chaoge made another contribution and was also named the princess of the town. The rise of Li Chaoge's status has become an unstoppable trend in the eastern capital. Everyone knows that the saint queen is very dependent on Princess Shengyuan? Whether it is the society? Jizhiben? Prince?, or the empress's palm pearl, Princess Guangning?, they can't shake Li Chaoge's position.

This is the real existence that cannot be replaced.

The whole thing? Very outrageous. What's more terrible is that Li Chaoge still holds the power of life and death, but now he has become the Donggong who wants Li Chaoge.

The prince? Concubine's superficial skills are not clever, and there are all human beings, and her changes fall in the eyes of everyone, it is simply clear. Li Chaoge ignored her. She lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a calm manner: "I haven't found out the comrades of the cat demon yet? However, the children found out that the reason why the cat demon was able to escape from Shangyang Palace that day? I borrowed the power of Princess Ngee An. The cat demon was hidden in Princess Ngee An’s carriage. The guard at the gate of the palace did not dare to check the princess's car, so he escaped. A few days ago, I went to Ngee An. The princess’s house collected evidence, and indeed found a black cat fur at the bottom of the carriage, and the maid of Nghe An’s house confessed that he had seen black cats in the house at the end of July."

Li Zhen's face changed suddenly, she hurriedly looked around, everyone avoided sight, no one was willing to look at her. Even the brother buried his head deeply, as if he hadn't heard Li Chaoge's words.

Li Zhen reacted, and immediately realized that she had been given up. She hurriedly carried her skirt? Kneeled down? Before she said a word, her eyes were red: "Check out the Queen of Heaven, what is the son? I don't know."

Li Chaoge waved his hand, and immediately someone from the Town Demon Division entered the hall and presented all kinds of evidence found in Princess Nghe'an's mansion. Li Zhen's lips are white. When did these people come into her house? Why? She doesn't know at all?

Li Zhen looked shocked, but Li Chaoge didn't care. With Bai Qianhe here, it couldn't be easier to find something quietly. Li Chaoge thought it was nothing? But in the eyes of others, it was completely different.

The town demon's hands and eyes were open to the sky, to such an extent. Today Li Chaoge is searching for Li Zhen, but what about tomorrow?

When the queen saw that the evidence was available, she immediately sneered and said: "Bold! Why did you collude with evildoers, the following? Committing? Are you a girl in the deep palace?, how? There is such a courage to say, who instigated you? "

When Wang Wu heard this, he knelt down in a panic? He couldn't say anything except "the son was wronged". Both King Wu and Li Zhen were the sons and daughters of Concubine Xiao Shu. The "master behind the scenes" in the words of the Queen of Heaven, besides King Wu, who else would there be?

Although Li Chaoge held great power, he did not avenge his personal revenge. It was true that she found these evidences from Nghe'an Mansion. As for how the diva will send it out, will it take the title to send it out, then? It will not be under Li Chaoge's control.

Li Zhen bit her lip, and suddenly made up her mind, and said: "The Queen of God, forgive me. The cat sneaked into the Erchen carriage. Erchen was frightened by the cat demon? He didn't know the sin. The animal is hiding in the Erchen carriage. As for the princess? There is a black cat in the mansion. The son is wronged. The son is wronged. He eats fast and reciting the Buddha all day long. He prays for the saint queen. In addition to eating and sleeping, he rarely spends the rest of the time in the Buddhist hall. Therefore, Erchen didn't see the black cat at all. Perhaps it was the girl in the Fuzhong who raised the cat with Erchen on his back. This was a misunderstanding."

Li Chaoge shook his head secretly. Li Zhen wanted to put everything aside and save King Wu. As everyone knows, the Queen had the idea of ​​killing King Wu. The Queen of Heaven had already convicted King Wu in her heart, so even if Li Zhen was so clever as a tongue, what's the point?

Sure enough, the queen was unmoved? She looked frosty and sternly said: "The maids in the princess's house are so sluggish, what use is there to ask them? Come, man, kill all the maids around Princess Yi'an? , The other slaves and maidservants fill the teaching workshop. The palace does not know that Nghe An actually likes to recite sutras. If so, let you recite enough. The East Capital is too noisy, and it may interfere with Nghe's practice and sensing industry. The teacher from the monastery came? Give the princess Yi'an an ordination, and then take Yi'an to the temple to practice, so as not to let Amao Agou wrong Princess Yi'an?"

Li Zhen's expression changed drastically. Ganye Temple was the place where the imperial family members were sent off, and all their hair should be shaved. As an emperor, why would Li Zhen be willing to suffer such insults? Li Zhen hurriedly looked at the emperor and kept kowtow begging: "Father, the queen, the son-in-law is wrong. Please father-emperor to give the son-in-law another chance."

Li Zhen reacted very quickly, knowing that the only one who would pity her was the emperor. After all, this is his own daughter. The emperor couldn’t bear it. He said, "Ye'an just married the husband. If he is a monk like this, I’m afraid there will be objections to the husband. The princess? Although she is a royal guest, once she gets married, then It’s the daughter-in-law of someone else’s family. She and her husband have no offspring, so it’s inappropriate to become a monk."

The emperor’s face? The Queen still has to give it to him. Tianhou took a step back and said, "The palace almost forgot that Yi'an was just married. The son? Heir is important, and the Buddha can't? Relax, then? Let Yi'an stay. Princess? Let’s shave in the mansion, as long as you are sincere, wherever you serve the Buddha is the same."

This time the emperor did not speak any more. Li Zhen felt cold, and immediately sought help from the surroundings. Wang Wang and Princess Wu noticed her sight and immediately bowed her head and stared at the ground; Li Chaoge stood upright, with a clear eye, looking straight ahead; the prince seemed unbearable, but there is a lesson from the past. Back to the prince? Don't dare to intercede with Li Zhen again.

As for Li Huai, he doesn't know how to write martial arts, eat, drink and have fun all day long, fearing the Queen of Heaven to his bones. Now Li Huai can't wait to hide outside and completely separate from Li Zhen. How can Li Huai? It's possible? Is it possible for Li Zhen to come forward?

Li Zhen's eyes fell in tears? Come on, she finally understood that she was just an ant in the hands of others, and she had no power to bargain at all. She must be shaved if she wants to survive.

Li Zhen burst into tears, no longer defending herself, apparently already confessing her fate. Li Chaoge sighed in his heart, the Queen was really strong in revenge. The black cat almost killed her, so she tortured Concubine Xiao Shu's son and daughter twice. A young princess had her head shaved, and she was still in her own princess’ house. She faced her husband and maid every day. Maybe she would be pulled out by the queen in the future? Participating in a banquet... It’s better to kill Li Zhen with a single knife. .

After Li Zhen's beating, the next one is King Wu. Wu Wang and his wife were shaking more and more severely. Wang Wu noticed that the Queen’s sight was swept over, and immediately knelt down and kowtow, and cried, “I’m not able to discipline my sister. Er. The minister is willing to become a monk and become a vegetarian, and he won't take a half-step out of the palace for the rest of his life!"

Li Xu is so courageous to survive by docking his tail, but unfortunately these are far from it? Satisfied with the queen, the queen frowned and said: "Wu Wang, you are the only son of Concubine Xiao Shu? Heir, responsible for continuing the incense to the royal family. What do you do as a monk? ?"

Li Xu's heart was half cold. He originally wanted to give it up, so he would shave it. It's better than losing his life. But can't you even become a monk?

The Queen said in a slow voice, "However, Yi'an has been raised by Ben Gong. How courage she is, Ben Gong knows how. She never had the courage to collude with the cat demon. I don’t know who gave her the courage. Is the Lord? Or, she deliberately committed the crime, is she trying to cover what? People?"

Li Xu knelt on the ground blankly, losing his ability to react. After the queen had enough appetite, she uttered compassionately: "Collaborate with the cat demon, deliberately assassinate, and be cut according to the law. But you have a fight with the mother and son of the palace, the palace can't watch you die. Ben. "Gongbian opened the Internet, sent orders to go, cut off the title of King Li Xu and Wu, demoted him to the common people, banned Shouzhou, and never got one step from the mansion for life. Come and **** King Wu, it’s not right, Li Xu and his Wife Xu, return to Shouzhou."

Li Xu kowtow to the queen, and stepped back thankfully. Even if he was deprived of the throne and reduced to a commoner, he still couldn't show a bit of resentment and be grateful to the queen.

After Li Xu and Xu's family were taken away, the Queen of Heaven glanced around and said, "Send Princess Yi'an? Go back to the house and shave tomorrow. Li Huai, you go out too."

The queen sent Li Zhen and Li Huai away, leaving only Li Chaoge and the prince and his wife in the palace. Li Shan tightened his fingers, finally, calmly lifted off his robe and knelt down, saying: "My son knows what I am wrong, please send me your message."
