Li Zhi's arrival caused the entire Taiyi City to boil instantly, and then quickly fell into silence from the boil.
This time Li Zhi even moved the entire court, whether it was Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, or the Six Ministries, Nine Temples and Five Prisons, they were all moved here.
Such a battle was much more grand than the previous days when officials from Prince Xuan Chaotang came to Taiyi City to inquire.
The entire Taiyi City was already under martial law by the Qianniu Guards and the Left and Right Jinwu Guards before Li Zhi arrived. Although there was no city, everyone who left the city through several roads in Taiyi City would encounter strict inspections.
After Li Zhi entered the royal estate, the entire Taiyi City was heavily guarded to the highest level. It was as if even the air suddenly became a lot heavier. Taiyi City, which was originally peaceful, quiet, lively and prosperous, now had a strong sense of severity and murderous aura.
All this made the people of Taiyi City, who were accustomed to freedom, suddenly feel at a loss. In addition to normal business transactions, the people began to act cautiously.
"How's Hong'er? Let me take a look." Li Zhi had a dark face and frowned, followed by a group of officials.
"I have met Your Majesty." Wu Mei stood at the door to greet him.
"How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Li Zhi took Wu Mei's hand and walked upstairs.
Wu Mei let Li Zhi hold her hand. Li Zhi, who was coming to this building for the first time, was a little dumbfounded as soon as he entered the door. He looked at Wu Mei, wondering where to go.
Wu Mei smiled and took Li Zhi's hand to the living room on the first floor. Then several officials followed and stood in front of the sofas on the left and right sides.
Although Li Zhi was like this, his thoughts were still on Li Hong. As soon as Wu Mei pressed him down on the sofa, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is Li Hong doing now?"
"Your Majesty, he is fine. There is a stab wound on his shoulder. Sun Shenxian happened to be there. He personally helped Li Hong heal his injury. When I came down to greet you today, it was he who walked me to the mountain gate." After Wu Mei sat down, she pressed Li Zhi's hand and stroked it.
After listening to this, Li Zhi sighed, and his expression seemed a lot more relaxed. After reaching out to indicate to several court officials to sit down, he began to listen to Wu Mei's account of yesterday's assassination. When he heard about the critical moment, Wu Mei Mei's hand was so pale that it lost all color.
The officials on both sides were stunned when they heard this, and were filled with deep admiration for His Royal Highness. He was able to protect the Queen from any harm in such a dangerous situation.
When Li Zhi and others heard that Li Hong had fainted from crying because of the death of two palace maids, Li Zhi felt something was wrong in his heart. Although he had grown up with him, as an emperor, he had to serve two palace maids. He fainted from sadness, which still made him feel that Li Hong still needed to practice.
The ministers ignored the fact that Li Hong fainted, but felt that Li Hong was not afraid of danger, decisive, calm and composed in the face of danger. Under such passive conditions, he could calmly analyze the situation and judge the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves. Shocked! This is not something that just a young man can do.
Before the ministers could say anything, Li Zhi himself began to take advantage of the situation. He looked at the ministers first, and then pretended to say: "I told him a long time ago that he should practice martial arts well. The ten-year-old body is taller than Sujie and the others, but Tiantian knew that if he had practiced martial arts earlier, would he still be like this? If you hadn't been the queen and doted on him, you would have met yesterday. Is it so dangerous? He won't be injured! I decided to let him practice martial arts in the East Palace after he recovers!"
Wu Mei rolled her eyes when she heard this. She was so embarrassed to say that I doted on her. Growing up, she didn’t know anyone who was eaten to death by little things. But today in front of the courtiers, Wu Mei couldn’t refute him, so she had to follow him. He said: "Yes, I am not strict in my discipline. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After Li Zhi knew that the little bastard was fine, his whole person suddenly became different, but the coldness in his eyes was still there when he faced the officials.
"Does the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and Dali Temple have any countermeasures against the assassination of the Queen and the Crown Prince? With so many people sneaking into our Tang Dynasty, how far is it from Chang'an? What will happen if one day they reach Chang'an..."
Wu Mei listened to Li Zhi's words, and then she realized that Yang Wu, who was always by her side, did not follow her this time, but another eunuch, Hua Ji.
Li Hong has been living a leisurely life these days. Ever since he taught Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng, and Yuan Tiangang the magic chess player at Zongsheng Palace, Sun Simiao would come over to fight with Li Hong every day on the pretext of showing him his injuries. A few plates.
Although he was defeated by Li Hong every time, he was always cheerful and did not care about success or failure at all. His calm and peaceful mentality even Li Hong had to admire.
Li Chunfeng was notoriously slow in playing chess among the four, and he was also a bad chess player. When Sun Simiao dominated Li Hong, Li Chunfeng played chess with his senior brother who was more than ten years older than him. Every time, he could hear Yuan Tiangang yelling to give in. Let him go quickly.
Moreover, the two of them had quarreled several times over whether they regretted playing or not, and even seemed to want to take the initiative.
Under the long shade of the trees, Li Hong and Sun Simiao were walking side by side. They had just won five sets, and Sun Simiao had naturally lost five sets, but he didn't care at all. Moreover, the old immortal never played more than five sets.
In his words, don't be greedy for more in everything, just experience the fun. If you indulge in it, it will affect your Taoism.
Li Hong took the opportunity to attack him. Can you put down this medicine and study something else
The old immortal began to brush his beard and look up to the sky, laughed a few times, and said: "That is the hard work of the old Taoist in his life. He can't extricate himself from it. If he doesn't let the old Taoist study pharmacology, it will cost him his life."
The two walked slowly to the small pavilion, and saw Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, accompanied by a Taoist boy, continuing to play chess. The wooden chess was not a precious material, and the chessboard was not a precious material, but the two of them The expressions are much the same.
Li Chunfeng took his time, touched the chess piece with one hand, shook his head, and put it down again. Then he looked at Yuan Tiangang's sunspots. After thinking for a long time, he raised a chess piece, and then it seemed to be fixed in the air. Just when Yuan Tiangang couldn't wait any longer, Li Chunfeng put it back to its original position and held back two words in his mouth: "It's inappropriate."
"Can you hurry up? Playing chess is not a real war. Hurry up." Yuan Tiangang's dark face was full of impatience.
Li Hong and Sun Simiao stood aside. Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang also glanced at each other, and then continued to stare at the chessboard, looking at the black and red pieces on it, and became attentive again.
After many days of getting along, they discovered that the prince was really different from ordinary people. Especially when they called Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng together, they were dumbfounded and incredulous about some of the answers to the Armillary Sphere and some insights into the celestial body.
When they knew that they were actually living on a sphere, they were so frightened that they almost sat down on the ground. When Li Hong once again said that the center of the sphere was filled with magma that could melt the entire world. , the two of them started to bicker, thinking that Li Hong had read too much "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
But when Li Hong gave them examples of volcanic eruptions and so on, the two began to look at each other in disbelief. After traveling around for many years, they still had some knowledge, so they became taciturn again.
As for the bright moon above the head that the ancients had always longed for, after listening to Li Hong's explanation, the two of them wanted to slap themselves in the face. All of a sudden, any beautiful fantasy and poetic feeling disappeared, leaving only the deepest feelings in their hearts. As desolate as the cold rocks on the moon.
Astronomy, geography, the universe, and astrology, Li Hong could always give them an answer that was completely different from what they knew. When Li Hong said that the stars would collide and cause meteors to fall to the ground, causing damage to the ground. When he was young, he was so scared that Li Chunfeng sat on the balcony and stared at the stars all night.
The tengu eats the moon and so on, which makes the two magic sticks silent and never use this to predict bad luck for others.
Therefore, in the past few days of getting along, the two of them admired Li Hong deeply. Naturally, they agreed to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to the Chongwen Pavilion to make use of their remaining energy after Li Hong recovered from his injury.
"You are so good at vaulting. What will the captain do to you?" Li Hong kicked Li Chunfeng, so Li Chunfeng's hand raised to land was once again fixed in the air: "That's inappropriate."
Yuan Tiangang sighed angrily and helplessly. He was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he was also very knowledgeable. He had no choice but to continue to endure Li Chunfeng's ink-writing efforts.
After Li Chunfeng left, Yuan Tiangang immediately made his move, followed by Li Chunfeng.
After watching a few moves, Li Hong started to make moves from both sides, sometimes to Li Chunfeng, and sometimes to the impetuous Yuan Tiangang. In short, under Sun Simiao's laughter, Li Hong was better than the two chess players. People are still busy.
"His Royal Highness, didn't you say that a true gentleman cannot speak while watching chess?" Yuan Tiangang looked up helplessly at Li Hong. There was no way he could play the chess. Now he and Li Chunfeng didn't even know they were playing chess. He still became His Highness the Crown Prince's puppet.
"Yes, you are a true gentleman watching chess without saying anything. I am not a gentleman. I am just a prince. Come on, it's your time to go." Li Hong's shameless virtue made Sun Simiao and the others doubt that the royal family would produce such a prince. Is it the misfortune of the people of Tang Dynasty or the misfortune of the entire Zongsheng Palace
Helpless Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang have never encountered such a shameless person, and they can't afford to offend him.
The two sages who have always been respected by everyone, after hearing the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, they could only roll their eyes helplessly, and then they all turned their attention to Sun Simiao, meaning: take him away quickly, please.
Without waiting for Sun Simiao to speak, Li Hong looked at the looks in the two people's eyes these past few days and immediately asked provocatively: "What? Are you not convinced or what?"
