Xian Xian

Pei Ji'an was anxious, and he almost ran over. Lingbo Pavilion was built next to the water, and the opposite side is Jiuzhou Pond. At this moment, the sky is high, the clouds are broad, the autumn light is swift, and the surrounding forests of Jiuzhou Lake are all dyed. The orange red, golden and green colors are intertwined with each other. Lingbo Pavilion conceals it, and it looks beautiful from a distance.

However, Pei Ji'an had no interest in admiring the scenery, and he quickly ran outside the Lingbo Pavilion? The attendant who was guarding outside saw Pei Ji'an and asked in surprise: "Pei Sheren? What happened to Sheren, why are you so anxious?"

How can Pei Ji'an have time to elaborate, he immediately asked?: "Where is the saint?"

"The saint is enjoying the scenery upstairs... hey, Pei Sheren..."

After hearing the emperor's specific location, Pei Ji'an hurried in immediately. He quickly climbed the stairs with his clothes. Li Huai was standing in front of the railing and looking at the lake. He heard the footsteps behind him, and turned his head in surprise: "Pei Aiqing? Why are you here?"

After Pei Ji'an came up, he saw a court lady standing beside Li Huai holding a tray, her eyes full of spring and her cheeks flushed. Pei Ji'an's eyes shrank sharply, it was her!

Seeing the palace lady's shyness and timidity, she shouldn't express her heart to Li Huai yet, that's it, Pei Ji'an still has time. Pei Ji'an pretended to calmly retracted his gaze, and saluted Li Huai: "The minister sends greetings to the saint?"

Li Huai waved his hand and said boldly: "There are no outsiders here, what do these do. Pei Aiqing, what happened, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Pei Ji'an half-folded his eyes and said, "Is the courtesy of the monarch and ministers? Can be abolished. The minister has some state affairs, and he wants to discuss with the saint."

The maid learned that Li Huai was in Lingbo Pavilion today. She deliberately changed her light clothes and came to Lingbo Pavilion to serve the emperor with joy. Unexpectedly, Pei Ji'an came at this time. Pei Ji'an said that there was state affairs discussion, and the maid could not stay any longer. She thought that she hadn't had time to say something, she was quite sorry, but in front of the political affairs, she had nothing to do.

The maid put down the fruit plate, and regretted to quit after giving the ceremony. Pei Ji'an seemed to be sitting in distress, but Yu Guang kept staring downstairs. After he saw the maid walking away with his own eyes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Huai was quite surprised when he saw Pei Ji'an's performance: "Pei Aiqing, what's wrong? How weird you look today."

Since there are no outsiders, Pei Ji'an didn't avoid it, and said directly: "Sage, the woman just now... isn't it? Don't have a plan?"

Li Huai now sits in the harem. Before he became the throne, he was also the prince who grew up in the splendid pile. How could he not see the woman's mind? Although the maid did not speak, Li Huai understood her intentions as soon as she came in.

He had seen her next to his mother before, but this woman was mediocre, lacking talent and skill, and her conversation was average. All in all, she was a woman with no glamour at all. Li Huai was accustomed to seeing a woman's admiring gaze, and his vision had long been raised? How could an ordinary woman get his eyes. Does Li Huai care, and said: "I see a lot of this kind of woman, born humble, and want to rely on climbing high? Branches soaring into the sky. I didn't expect that she was so bold that she wanted to cling to me. She didn't? Look at herself. The appearance of a palace girl beside me? Is better-looking than her, how can she dare to run in front of me and be blamed?"

Li Huai directly satirizes the palace lady climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and the language is very polite. It is inevitable for Li Huai to have this kind of thought. He is the first-born prince in the palace. These years? No matter where he goes? He is held by others. Now a maid who looks like a saltless palace? Dare to move his idea, Li Huai can't ? I feel offended.

Pei Ji'an sighed, Li Huai said this in front of him, but when he rejected the maid in his previous life, his tone was also very mean. Although the lady of the court was plain, but very high-spirited? After being insulted, she became angry and became angry. Because of love and hatred, she tried to retaliate against Li Huai.

This palace lady is the person next to the queen again, and many factors overlap, she really succeeded in revenge.

Pei Ji'an wanted to say something and stopped, even if it was a close relationship, it would be embarrassing to involve men and women. Isn’t Pei Ji’an? It’s too straightforward, so he reminded Li Huai in a roundabout way: "The saint is rich in the world, what kind of woman does he want. But after all, that palace lady is a person next to the queen mother, and her identity is very sensitive. If the saint accepts it, the courtiers will say that the saint’s mother and maidservant , It is contrary to filial piety. If the saint does not accept it, it is not guaranteed that the woman will hold a grudge and say to the Queen Mother in the future whether the saint is not? Yes. It is not good for the saint to accept it or not. Miss talented woman, this woman, still stay away? Don't want to meet each other."

Li Huai hadn't thought about this before. He dignifiedly rejects women, so does he have to consider the other party's mood? But after Pei Ji'an said so, Li Huaicai realized that he was wrong.

Yes, isn't this palace lady? It's an ordinary woman, but a close attendant by the Queen of Heaven. What if this woman provokes her in the ears of the Queen?

Li Huaisi was angry and humiliated at this place, and he could not help but sigh for a long time. Li Huai does not treat Pei Ji'an as a foreigner, and it is rare to avoid the eyes and ears of the queen. Li Huai seems to be suffocated, and his brain is bitter with Pei Ji'an: "I am the honorable person of the ninety-five years. Fortunately, a woman still has it. Looking at the face of the Queen Mother, how can there be an emperor like me in the world? Before the father's death, he handed over the Great Tang dynasty to me. It was so easy for me to finish filial piety and wait to show off. As a result, the court was already surrounded by the Queen Mother in an iron bucket. Shumen? Xiadu? is a queen dowager, I just arranged one thing at random, they pushed three and hindered four, and finally said directly, “The saint needs to ask the queen of heaven”. As the king of a country, I need to ask others to agree to issue the imperial decree. ?"

Pei Ji'an sighed secretly, when Li Huai was a child, he was not trained as a prince, he had never learned the emperor's skills, nor had he suffered setbacks. In fact, this is just the beginning.

Even if there is no queen to issue an imperial decree, it is not the emperor alone who has the final say. There are many conflicts in the interests of the parties. Li Huai only encounters a small matter now? No? Be patient, what about the future when he encounters Li Chuan, wars, etc.?

But Li Huai was the emperor. Once he became the emperor, even the friends who grew up together would not be able to cross the line of monarchs and ministers. Pei Ji'an was patient and persuaded: "Don't worry about the saints, governing the country is not an overnight success. There are many courtiers in the court who are willing to share the worries for the emperor. The saints wait patiently? Okay."

Li Huai sighed, how can he not? Knowing whether to govern the country? It is a simple matter. What he said is not complaining about the difficulty of governing the country, but complaining about the power of the Queen of Heaven.

Every confidential position is occupied by divas. After Li Huai ascended the throne, he wanted to show off his skills and reward his heroes, but he turned over and over again and couldn't find a vacant position. There is a radish and a pit in the officialdom. Don’t the people on it? Go, where can Li Huai reward his people?

In particular, Li Huai has recently acquired a new queen and concubine. Li Huai is newly married and wants to behave in front of his good wife and concubine. The first emperor knighted the Queen's father, mother, and sisters. Li Huai just wanted to promote the queen's father. Isn't it too much?

However, just such a simple idea is not realized. Does Li Huai find the place to intervene? Don't mention how depressed these days.

Seeing Li Huai, Pei Ji'an still sighed, and did not hear what he meant. Pei Ji'an could only say a little more clearly: "The state is for the country? Good, so he is cautious about the imperial edict? Lu, loyalty to the emperor, since I am a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, I am naturally dedicated to sharing worries for the emperor. As long as the saint is cautious in words and deeds, and does not bear the virtue of heaven, the subjects and people will naturally stand on the side of the saint."

Li Huai's heart moved, as if he could hear something. Yes, he is the orthodox emperor. His power comes from the emperor, and has nothing to do with the queen. Li Huai first appointed the crown prince and then ascended the throne. Regardless of his identity or procedures, he was justified. Even if the Queen is nostalgic for power, she is already old after all, can she still fight for Li Huai's success?

As long as you wait patiently, the Queen's forces will withdraw from the court sooner or later. After all, Li Huai has the final say in this world.

·

Since talking with Pei Ji'an in Lingbo Pavilion that day, Li Huai's mood has been much calmer, and he hasn't been anxious facing the situation in the court. After another half month, Liu Yanjing went into the palace to see his daughter. Li Huai heard that his father-in-law was here, so he ran over to talk to him.

Empress Liu is the granddaughter of Liu Dewei, the official book of the Criminal Ministry, and the daughter of Liu Yanjing, the governor of Shanzhou. Now that Liu is named, Liu Yanjing has been transferred back to the capital as the head of the country. Li Huai originally wanted to give his father-in-law Feng Fengguang an official position, but there were no vacancies in the three provinces and six departments. Li Huai couldn't find a suitable official position. The lower the appointment would hurt the emperor's face, so Liu Yanjing's promotion was delayed.

Now Li Huai saw Yue Zhang in the queen's bedroom, quite faceless. He wanted to support himself, so he said: "Recently, the queen often says that the harem is lonely, and no one speaks with her. I plan to designate the head of the country as a servant, so that the head of the country can often enter the palace and talk to the queen."

The lower servants are the second grade, and there are only false titles such as Taishi and Taifu, which can be said to be the highest grade among the civil servants with real power. Liu Yanjing was surprised, and stood up and said: "The saint carries love, but the minister is without talent and virtue. How can he lead the door? The prime minister?"

Li Huai waved his hand and didn't care about it: "You gave birth to a good daughter like a queen, and you have contributed to the country and deserve a great seal."

Empress Liu was very happy when she heard that the emperor wanted to promote her father. Empress Liu smiled with joy, but she hesitated: "Thank you Saint. But my father has not been appointed to the sixth department, but he was directly promoted to the door? Will the others agree?"

Especially when the Queen of Heaven suddenly promoted such a high official, would the Queen of Heaven agree?

When Li Huai heard this, he was directly excited: "I am the emperor, not to mention just a servant. Even if I give the whole world to the head of the country, why not?"

When Empress Liu heard this, she was immediately charming? Smiling and thanking the emperor, Liu Yanjing's face was also quite contented. Things in the Queen’s Palace soon spread to the outside. In the Palace of Longevity, the maid relayed the dialogue between Li Huai and Liu Yanjing to the Queen. After hearing it, the Queen sneered slightly.

It's a big breath to surrender the world.

The Queen said nothing, she called the **** and asked? "Where is Princess Sheng Yuan?"

"The princess hasn't come back yet." The **** carefully looked at the face of the Queen and asked?, "Is there anything important to the Queen?"

Tianhou did not answer, saying: "Go and call the servant."

"Yes."

At this moment, Li Chaoge is standing beside Luoshui, basking in the sun. She patrolled along the river bank, and Bai Qianhe walked and walked behind her. She couldn't hold her back. She stopped, and asked? "Commander, what are you looking at?"

Without saying anything, Li Chaoge finally hit a corner. She stopped on the bank of the river and threw a stone under the water, carefully observing the sound and the waves. After a while, Li Chaoge nodded in satisfaction: "Just? Here."

Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows suspiciously. He stared at the water below, but it was a pity that he didn't see anything except fish and silt. Li Chaoge had already turned and left. Bai Qianhe scratched his head inexplicably and strode to catch up: "Commander, wait for me."

Li Chaoge returned to the yard where he was staying. This time they went out of business, strangely not wearing the uniform of the town demon division, nor staying in the post. Li Chaoge said she is still wearing Xiao Xiao, can't she be too ostentatious, but Bai Qianhe always feels that this reason is far-fetched.

In the yard, Zhou Shao was grinding stones. This is a white stone slab with the eight characters "Our Lady of the Mother, the Emperor of Yongchang" engraved on it. Mo Linlang mashed the purple stone into powder and mixed it with potion to fill in the writing. After Mo Linlang finished all this, he clapped his hands and said to Li Chaoge: "Commander, we are all done. This potion is specially made by me with herbal medicine. It will never fade. Soak it in water. The year? is as bright as ever."

Li Chaoge nodded and said, "Okay. Put the stones away, you guys? Go and rest for a while. When it's night, we'll just act."

Ma Linlang responded. She seemed a little confused. After a while, Ma Linlang asked tentatively?: "Commander, what monster am I here to catch?"

This time, catching monsters is very different from usual. They sneaked to Luoshui's edge, without questioning the villagers or searching the scene, Li Chaoge warned them instead of not being noticeable. Ma Lin Lang thought that there was something important to do, but Li Chaoge just asked them to grind stones in the yard and chisel lettering.

A little confused. What kind of monster is this, so strange to catch it?

Li Chaoge remained secretive, but said: "I have my own arrangements. You? Go back to rest, wait until night, and listen to my orders."

Ma Linlang was confused, and Nono nodded: "Okay."

Ma Linlang waited for the dark with fear, she thought there would be a fierce battle, she had prepared weapons and powder on her body. Finally, when the night was completely dark, Li Chaoge asked them to come out, motioned Zhou Shao to put a stone on his back and follow her out.

They? The four came quietly all the way to the edge of Luoshui. Li Chaoge came to the place he was optimistic during the day and said to Bai Qianhe: "That's it. You dive to the bottom of the river with the stone and bury the stone in the river bed. Remember? To bury too deep, just bury half of it? Okay. "

Bai Qianhe thought that there was something mysterious in the bottom of the river, so he took the rope carefully into the water, and the two people on the bank stared at the surface nervously. After a long time, bubbles appeared on the water and Bai Qianhe emerged and said, "Commander, I have buried the stone in the bottom of the river as you ordered. What then?"

Li Chaoge didn't care about the condition of the river bottom, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the rope?"

Bai Qianhe stretched out his other hand, revealing the rope of the palm of his hand. Li Chaoge nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay. Eliminate all traces and swim up."

Bai Qianhe paddled the water mallard to the shore. After getting ashore, Bai Qianhe twisted the water on his clothes while saying: "Others slid and slapped their horses in the capital, talking about their merits, and we are digging silt here. The commander, What exactly does this stone do, and why should it be buried in the bottom of the river?"

Li Chaoge looked at the dark water and whispered: "God's meaning, who knows? Let's go, it's all? Be quiet, don't? I want to disturb the fishermen. We? We can go back to Beijing."

Li Chaoge returned to the Eastern Capital. She had just entered the imperial city, but before she had time to return to the Demon Division of the town, she was called away by the Queen of Heaven.

Li Chaoge entered the Hall of Longevity. The Queen saw her and asked? "How's it going?"

Li Chaoge bowed his head and said: "Erchen followed the Luohe River to search, and saw a river bend in Yongzhou area with lush water and grass, which is uniquely endowed by nature. The son of the son chose someone to calculate Feng Shui and found that this place is a treasured land of feng shui, naturally gathering dragon energy. Empress Dowager I saw the gods come out of the dragon cart in my dream, maybe, this is it."

The Queen was satisfied and said: "Okay. You have worked hard this time, go back and rest. How many days? Nitto? Isn't it Taiping? Many veterans have been infected with the wind and cold. You let people step up patrols. Don't let them? Clean things invade Miyagi."

Li Chaoge was startled slightly, and answered, "Yes, my son takes the order."

Li Chaoge came out of the Hall of Longevity, first went to the Habayashi Military Guard, carefully checked the guards and patrols. By the time she finished all this, the sun was already slanting to the west, and soon she was going to leave the office. Li Chaoge hurried back to the imperial city. She drank a glass of water in the town demon division. She heard the message from the servant and said: "The commander, the queen mother has orders, and she will go to court tomorrow."

"Shang Dynasty?" Li Chaoge was surprised. The first emperor Li Ze was not in good health. Later, the Dynasty was changed to the next day. Tomorrow is a double day, why do you want to go to court suddenly?

Although Li Chaoge was puzzled, he still responded. In the palace, Li Huai was also at a loss.

Do you want to go to court tomorrow? Why doesn't he, the emperor? Know? But Li Huai didn't think much about it. Since the Queen of Heaven asked to go to court, he would go one more day? Yes, Li Huai didn't hesitate to do so? He agreed.

The next day, Baiguan successively came to Xuanzheng Hall. They? All looked at a loss. Obviously, they? Don't? Know why the Queen Mother suddenly convened the meeting.

Li Chaoge stood in the position of the Town Demon Division, and Gu Mingke stood across the aisle, and then Pei Ji'an.

It’s not just right to be an official at the same time. It’s not good. You can’t hide if you want to hide. It's not a good thing to say hello when you meet, or it's not a good thing to say hello. Especially Gu Mingke, they were husband and wife, and they got closer when they were in the court. Others wanted to suspect that they had formed a party and smuggled and went far away. There were rumours in the palace that they did not make peace with the husband and wife.

Li Chaoge was very tired.

The early dynasty is a very serious occasion, and it is strictly forbidden to whisper to each other. If you are not properly dressed, you will be impeached and lose your office if you lose your manners. Li Chaoge pretended not to see the two men, looked ahead, and waited for the arrival of the Queen and Li Huai.

Fortunately, the time of Shang Dynasty came soon. Li Huai entered the hall surrounded by the eunuchs and sat on the throne. A bead curtain hangs behind, and the back of the sky sits in between.

Li Huai didn't know what to do with the morning dynasty suddenly. He cleared his throat and asked, "Queen dowager, why did you suddenly convene the dynasty meeting today."

Although Li Huai was afraid of his mother, he was called Long Live every day after he became the throne. Li Huai's self-confidence gradually expanded, and he was no longer as cautious as before when facing the queen. However, this time, after Li Huai finished speaking, the Queen snorted coldly and sternly said: "Niezi, you still have the face to talk!"

Everyone was taken aback, and Li Huai was even more confused. The queen suddenly showed a strong attitude, Li Huai's emperor's domineering quickly deflated, and in an instant he returned to the only promised King Zhao: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

There was no smile behind the sky, and he looked at Li Huai coldly. At this time, a court lady walked out from behind the screen of Xuanzheng Hall. After the lady bowed her head to the queen, one person learned the voice of two people, and vividly reproduced the dialogue between Li Huai and Liu Yanjing that day.

Pei Ji'an immediately changed his face. He raised his head and wanted to say something, but the queen slapped the table vigorously and angrily said: "No? Dutiful son, Datang Jiangshan was beaten down by the ancestors, how can you say to give someone away? Just? Give someone away? Do you do this, worthy of your father, worthy of the ancestors and ancestors of the Taimiao?"

Li Huai was dumbfounded, his words were just a joke, who would take it? Really? But the Queen didn't? Give him a chance to argue. The Queen waved, and a guard immediately stepped forward and dragged Li Huai off the dragon chair. Sitting behind the bead curtain, his eyes are pitch-black and sharp as swords: "The emperor has lost his virtue, and he can be regarded as an emperor. Since the first emperor entrusted the country to the main palace, the main palace could never witness the ruined family? Tang Jiye. Come, send the emperor to the palace to reflect. When will the introspection become clear, and when will he come out again."

Li Huai finally reacted, he hurriedly struggled, shouting presumptuously. However, the two guards, high-ranking Ma Da, came prepared. They held the emperor from one side to the other. They didn't wait for Li Huai to say more, then pulled him down.

This series of changes has come with urgency and violentness. The courtiers below have not reacted yet, and Li Huaijiu has been pulled out of the Palace of Xuanzheng. At this time, Zhongshu Shilang came forward and said: "If the emperor loses his morals, if he continues to stay in the throne, maybe he will definitely lead to punishment from the heaven. According to the minister, see, the emperor should temporarily abdicate, sin and think about it, and wait. After the emperor has corrected his virtues, he will re-administer the Yuxi. But will there be no one in the court, and the ministers will petition, ask the queen to reign, and guard the country on behalf of the emperor."

After the middle book servant finished speaking, there were successive echoes in the hall. Li Chaoge finally knew why Tianhou asked her to check the city defenses. It turned out that it was for today.

After preparing for a long time, the Queen deliberately picked one to use the days of the previous dynasty to make trouble, and caught the emperor and his courtiers by surprise. And Li Huai didn't fight for his spirit, and rushed to give the Queen a handle and Jiangshan to his father-in-law, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Huaide has failed, and the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology has publicly supported him. The most important thing is that Li Huai has been dragged down. If the courtiers disagree, Li Huai will soon fall to the ground. The Queen of Heaven held the emperor in order to make the princes play beautifully. Li Chaoge was amazed in her heart, and an idea quickly popped up in her heart. Since the Queen was planning to get up today, why not yesterday? Tell her?

But soon Li Chaoge wanted to understand it himself. The Queen of Heaven was ready for today's incident. Li Chaoge only came back yesterday. The Queen didn’t? Know Li Chaoge’s attitude, she would definitely not take risks. After all, Li Huai is Li Chaoge's younger brother. Even if he is not friendly, his blood is thicker than water. In case Li Chaoge doesn't agree with him or even informs him, that would be troublesome. Therefore, the Queen asked Li Chaoge to inspect the palace gates and patrol. With Li Chaoge's character, she would definitely check carefully and would not let any suspicions go. The imperial army was originally from the Queen of Heaven, but now it is better for Li Chaoge to come back, and the Queen of Heaven added insurance to herself, and without any worries about the future, he was relieved to launch a coup d'etat.

Li Chaoge knew that it was time for her to express her position, and she also raised her hand and said clearly: "The minister, please ask the queen mother to reign."

Pei Ji'an looked around, and Zhongshu Shilang took the lead in supporting it, but other prime ministers didn’t dare to rashly express their opinions; Li Chaoge was originally inclined to the queen, but now he openly supports it. It can be said that he completely stood on the side of the queen; many of the low-ranking officials were selected by the imperial examination. At this moment, nature is supporting the queen. Pei Ji'an closed his eyes in despair, and all the high-ranking civil servants, low-ranking civil servants, and the imperial city forbidden army expressed their opinions. The outcome of this round is determined.

He helped Li Huai hide the reason for abandoning the emperor, which is the child insulting his mother and maidservant, and then a more serious one came. As everyone knows, the real crisis lies in the abolition of the emperor, not the reason.

As long as Tianhou has this thought, what can't it be? Can it be used?

In Xuanzheng Hall, there are queen parties like Li Chaoge and royalists like Pei Ji'an. However, there are more silent and neutral parties like Gu Mingke. The superior? Who cares what matters to him, no matter who is the emperor, Dali Temple? To solve the case, as long as the superior is able to handle it clearly, shouldn't it cause chaos, Gu Mingke doesn't care who the throne is in his hands.

The Queen looked at the expressions of the people of His Royal Highness, with a satisfied smile on her face. The **** stepped forward, brought the jade seal in the emperor's position to the back of the sky, raised his arms high, and sang: "Respectfully ask the Queen Mother to reign."

At this moment, in the Palace of Xuanzheng, whether they agree or disagree, support the queen or support the emperor, don't you? Don't you? Lower your head, follow the crowd and arch your hands: "Respectfully invite the Queen Mother to reign."
