Since the six departments of the court have recently been busy making logistical preparations for the 150,000 troops that are about to enter Beijing, the morning court ended very early. The end of the morning court was good news for Li Er in the past, because he could finally stop being busy. I took a break from the government affairs for a while, but today... After leaving the morning court, Li Er was a little unsure of where to go!
Because there is a woman waiting for him in the harem!
It's not that he doesn't want to see that woman, on the contrary, that woman is the love of his life. He just doesn't want to face her today because some of her questions are difficult for him to answer!
But just staying in Taiji Palace like this is not an option, because after the woman learns that the morning court is over, she will definitely come to find him!
So where should he go
This thing sounds a bit funny. It is really incredible that the emperor, the emperor, sometimes does not know where his "home" is!
"Your Majesty, the Xuanjia Army Camp is holding a fighting competition today. You told General Duan earlier that you would go to observe the competition. Do you want to go there today?"
Just when Li Er was confused, Zhao Song came up and whispered beside Li Er.
"Hmm~?"
Li Er, who was in a tangled state, suddenly became energetic. He sat up straight, looked at Zhao Song and replied without hesitation: "Go! Since I promised Duan Aiqing, of course I have to go! You will follow me. Let’s go together! As for the queen, you can send someone to tell her later so that she won’t worry about me!”
After saying that, Li Er stood up and prepared to walk out of the palace. He seemed to be more anxious to leave the palace than anyone else, leaving Zhao Song standing there with a look of astonishment on his face!
Just kidding, he was just thinking about how to avoid Empress Changsun temporarily. When he fell asleep, someone gave him a pillow. How could he not use such a high-sounding and aboveboard excuse as "going to the Xuanjia Army Camp to observe the fighting competition"
As for why he just emphasized that Zhao Song should go with him, the main reason is that Zhao Song is one of the important insiders who knew about Li Tai's arrest. Keeping him in the palace, there is no guarantee that Queen Changsun will not question him. Although Zhao Song has always He is loyal, but when faced with the questioning from Queen Changsun, he will definitely be in a dilemma!
After a while, Li Er, dressed in regular clothes, left the palace with Zhao Song and more than a dozen guards, lightly dressed and simple.
On Queen Changsun's side, Changsun had been worried since Li Er went to the morning court, waiting for Li Er to come after the next court. At this time, the palace maid came to report that Taiji Palace had gone to court. Queen Changsun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She secretly said that when Li Er comes over, she must ask clearly about what happened last night!
In fact, she is not an aggressive woman, especially in the harem. She knows how to be a wife better than anyone else. Many times, she never asks about things that Li Er doesn't want to say, but this time is different!
She had a premonition that Zhao Song came to see Li Er last night. It was very likely that something had happened to Li Tai in Taiyuan. Although it was just a vague intuition, it was related to the safety of her son, and she had to ask clearly!
Empress Changsun sat quietly in the side hall of Lizheng Palace, her mood was not calm at all. Half an hour passed, and a quarter of an hour passed, but she still didn't see Li Er's figure. At this time, she couldn't sit still, and secretly said to Li Er Could it be that after the morning court, he went directly to the Ganlu Hall to review the memorial
Just as she stood up and prepared to go to the Manlu Palace to look for Li Er, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace, but it was a young eunuch.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to the Xuanjia Army camp. Your Majesty asks you not to worry and wait for him to come back!"
The little eunuch bowed.
Queen Changsun was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Xuanjia Army Camp? What are you doing there, Your Majesty?"
The little eunuch replied: "Today, the Xuanjia Army Camp held a fighting competition. A few days ago, Your Majesty promised General Duan to come to the military camp to observe the competition in person, so after going to court, His Majesty took General Manager Zhao to the camp!"
Empress Changsun's heart trembled, and her face instantly turned pale. Although Li Er's reason for leaving the palace seemed reasonable, she had been married to Li Er for more than ten years. How could she not know that Li Er was deliberately avoiding her
The more Li Er avoided it, the more it proved that the guess in her heart was correct. Something might really have happened to Li Tai!
"Empress...?"
Seeing that Queen Changsun didn't speak for a long time, it was neither the little eunuch nor the eunuch who left, so she couldn't help but call out softly.
Queen Changsun came back to her senses, waved her hand to the young eunuch and said, "I know, please go down!"
"yes!"
The little eunuch bowed and left quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.
Empress Changsun was sitting on the couch, filled with anxiety and sadness.
Although it was speculated that something might have happened to Li Tai, Chang'an was hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan. What could she do as a woman in a deep palace? If there were any measures to rescue Li Tai, Li Er would have already done it, right
Li Er's words telling her not to worry must be to tell her that he has done everything he can, and as for the result... she can only leave it to fate!
The thoughtful Empress Changsun guessed everything about the matter in just a short period of time. This woman is so smart!

Xuanjia Army Camp.
At this time, all the soldiers of the fifth battalion had gathered in the school field. Duan Zhixuan, Qiu Xinggong, and Li Zexuan, the three senior generals of the Xuanjia Army, were standing on the general point platform in front of the school field. Duan Zhixuan was naturally standing at the front. At this time, a group of A sergeant ran to the general stand, cupped his fists at Duan Zhixuan and said loudly:
"For the record, General, all the officers and soldiers of each battalion are in place. Please give me your instructions, General!"
"good!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded, took two steps forward, and said loudly to the thousands of soldiers in the audience: "Generals, listen to the order, take a break!"
"Shua~!"
The moment after Duan Zhixuan gave the order, the five thousand Xuanjia troops all stretched out their left feet by about two-thirds of their feet in the direction of their toes, straightened their legs naturally, and maintained an upright posture with their upper bodies, following orders and prohibitions in a uniform manner!
Before Li Zexuan came to the Xuanjia Army, although the Xuanjia Army also adopted some of the military training formation methods of Yanhuang Academy, it was far from as uniform as it is now. That is to say, after Li Zexuan took up his post to join the army, he launched a new drill code in the Xuanjia Army. On weekdays, we strictly inspect each camp and order each camp to strictly implement the training tasks in the new drill code. This is why today's orders and orders are so uniform!
Of course, this does not include Yiziying!
Now Yizi Camp is the only camp in the entire Xuanjia Army that has not yet implemented the new drill code!
"According to the new drill code, today is the fighting competition for the five camps of the Xuanjia Army. I hope that the participating soldiers of each battalion can perform well and win glory for your respective camps. I have only one request, and that is to stop until one side admits defeat. , the other party must not continue to take action, take the opportunity to injure or even kill people, otherwise, military law will be dealt with!"
Seeing the neat movements of the soldiers under the stage, Duan Zhixuan was somewhat satisfied. Then, with a solemn look on his face, he said in a deep voice to the soldiers below.
