Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 138: Changlefang

Views:

The three of them stared at Changlefang closely. The answer at this time was self-evident. If it wasn't the East Palace, then it was Changlefang.

Whose place is Changlefang? Li Hong’s grandma! Mrs. Rong Guo’s current residence, the entire Changle Square, belongs to her family!

Mrs. Rongguo may not sound like much, she is just the prince’s grandma, the emperor’s mother-in-law and the queen’s mother!

But if you refer to the important and prominent position of Changlefang in Chang'an, you will know why not only Di Renjie and Gao Junya are shaking their heads now, but also Li Hong can't help but shake his head when he looks at Changlefang on the sand table.

Changlefang is adjacent to the East Palace, separated by a road, but behind the two houses is the symbol of imperial power of the Tang Empire: the Daming Palace.

The three buildings are now completed in the finished shape, which is enough to imagine the position of Changlefang in the heart of the royal family. This is like building a private villa in Tiananmen Square to live in just like in the previous life!

To find out the owner of this place, even Li Hong would have to think carefully.

Even so, this time he took advantage of the flood to evacuate Daning, Xingning and other villages, leaving only Changle Square, which existed like a nail house. This is enough to show that Changle Square is also very fearful in his heart. .

Li Hong bit his lip and stared at Changlefang. After a long time, he said slowly: "If you continue to investigate, I will be responsible for all the consequences. When Bai Chun comes back, I will notify Huaiying of you. You can do it in my East Palace or Pu You can ask the prince for questioning, but you must not take him to Dali Temple for questioning.”

Di Renjie smiled helplessly and said: "Your Highness, if I dare to ask Miss Bai, I will ask you to ask. As for Changlefang, I am willing to go and investigate."

After finishing speaking, Di Renjie looked at Li Hong with clear eyes, and his meaning was self-evident. He is not afraid of the powerful, but he is not afraid of superiors and inferiors. It has always been against the rules for a minister to check the East Palace. Moreover, he believes in his heart that this matter was definitely not done by the prince.

He is responsible for making new money himself. There is no need to open a workshop to make some fake new money. It is unreasonable.

Bai Chun has followed His Highness the Crown Prince for many years. His Highness the Crown Prince has always left Taiyi City to Bai Chun. This shows that Bai Chun will definitely not build it privately, but what is the problem

He, as a courtier, is needed to investigate the case. As for how to deal with it, I'm afraid the case won't be too involved, and it might become a royal family matter.

Li Hong looked at Di Renjie with a sincere face quietly, and nodded silently: "Okay, I'll listen to you, go ahead and do it."

After seeing Gao Junya and Di Renjie off, it was almost noon, so he had to eat by himself.

Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue accompanied Li Hong to dinner, but Li Hong kept thinking about whether he should ask Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu to help him with some advice because of the matter between Goryeo and Japan. Although these two people have been far away from the court and have been kept in the Chongwen Pavilion by themselves, they still have unique insights into the affairs of the court.

Should I listen to their opinions and see if they can give me unexpected help in the matter of Korea and Japan

Li Xian and others also sent someone to tell him to go to Yang'an Tower quickly so that he could have a look at He Lan Minzhi's embarrassment. However, Li Hong repelled several personal eunuchs, so he didn't bother to look at He Lan Minzhi's face.

Because he couldn't go even if he wanted to, Yiyang and Gao'an sent people to ask him to go to Xiao Shufei's place.

Today's Taiji Palace, after the royal family moved to the Daming Palace, has become a labor camp, with many officials and their families imprisoned deep in the harem.

Among these people, by some strange combination of circumstances, Concubine Xiao Shu, who had no rank and had been demoted to a commoner, became the head of the harem of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Hong walked slowly on the road to Tai Chi Palace, looking at Tai Chi Palace, a large palace that was gradually forgotten by the royal family, but there was an indescribable irony in his heart.

Concubine Xiao Shu, who competed with her mother for the master of the harem, finally achieved her goal after deviating from the original trajectory of history and finally became the master of the harem of Tai Chi Palace. Unfortunately, Tai Chi Palace has now lost its symbol of power. Nowadays, everything in Tai Chi Palace has changed.

Not far from the Lingyan Pavilion where the Twenty-Four Heroes were hung, and close to the bank of the Jinshui River, there was a small palace that seemed quite popular, and a few maids were cleaning the courtyard.

Accompanied by Yiyang and Gao An, Concubine Xiao Shu was facing the sun in the sky at the moment, with a lazy smile on her lips, sitting leisurely on the rocking chair, listening to the two women chattering in front of her, not knowing what they were talking about.

Concubine Xiao Shu was one year younger than Li Hong's mother, Queen Wu Mei, and was now forty-one years old. Although she is now imprisoned in the depths of the harem, her years of being alone, coupled with her interest in Buddhist scriptures, have made her become much calmer and calmer.

Time also seems to be particularly fond of her, not leaving many traces of time on her beautiful cheeks. Even compared to Wu Mei, her complexion is not much worse.

Without waiting for a eunuch at the door to announce, Yiyang saw Li Hong walking in with Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, looking around.

Immediately, Yiyang saw the hunting eagle like an old hen guarding her chicks. She quickly walked up to Li Hong with her teeth dancing, and her beautiful face, which was not inferior to that of her mother-in-law, was about to touch Li Hong's face. .

His chest was so high that if Li Hong hadn't hurriedly retreated, he would have hit his chest directly.

"Yi Yang, are you going crazy? Are you provoking you to be so arrogant?" Looking at the menacing Yi Yang, Li Hong hurriedly took two steps back to prevent Yi Yang from running into his arms.

"Hmph, stop pretending to me! Let me ask you, was it your idea to let Yang Anlou kill He Lanmin for five thousand taels of silver?" Yiyang stood in front of Li Hong with his hands on his hips and asked.

"Don't get in the way. I'll go greet my mother and concubine first." Li Hong reached out and pulled Yiyang's head. She was no longer taller than him now. He pulled her like a little chicken.

"Explain it to me first before you go to pay your respects to the mother-in-law." Yiyang refused, and instantly grabbed Li Hong and pulled her arm into his arms. Seeing that Li Hong ignored her and continued to move forward, a hungry tiger suddenly pounced on her. , not paying any attention to the image of the royal princess, and wrapped herself around Li Hong like a fish.

"Yiyang, are you crazy? Come down here, how old are you!" Li Hong was really convinced by this silly elder sister.

Now Yiyang is twenty-two years old and is no longer a little girl who is ignorant of the world. Moreover, Li Hong has grown up and can no longer stand Yiyang like this, so he throws her at him at every turn.

It was okay in the past that Li Hong was still young, but now that he is getting older, he can no longer reach out and push Yiyang away by himself, otherwise his hand will touch places he shouldn't touch.

Yiyang ignored his warning and lay on his back, holding his neck tightly with both arms.

Li Hong clearly felt Yiyang's towering body tightly squeezing his back, a pair of slender and powerful jade legs... This idiot actually wrapped his legs around his waist from behind, trying to prevent him from moving forward!

"Xia Zhi quickly pulled her down." Li Hong said as he strenuously walked forward.

Concubine Xiao Shu watched Yiyang and Li Hong playing around without paying any attention to Yiyang's excessive body movements.

He lazily propped up his upper body on the recliner and said calmly: "Hong'er is here, please sit down."

Concubine Xiao Shu is no longer the Concubine Xiao Shu she was back then. At this time, when she saw Li Hong, she just sat down and smiled before saying hello. She no longer had to stand up to greet him like before.

"I have met my concubine." Li Hong chased away Gao An, who was sitting on Concubine Xiao Shu's side, and sat down next to him.

"You're finally here. If you don't come again, I'll have to annoy them both to death." Concubine Xiao Shu's every move now seems to carry an indescribable sense of tranquility and Zen.

"Oh, why are they bothering you?" Li Hong asked knowingly.

"What else could it be? It's just that you and Su Jie cheated He Lan Minzhi last night. They were deeply afraid of He Lan Minzhi's revenge, so they came to me early in the morning to pour out their troubles." Concubine Xiao Shu looked at Xia Zhi. He personally handed Li Hong a glass of water and said nonchalantly.

Li Hong also looked as usual. He couldn't remember when he came to Xiao Shufei's place and became like this.

Even if Li Sujie and I dine here once a year, all expenses and so on are arranged by Xia Zhi and others. Xia Zhi and others will never let Li Hong touch anything in Xiao Shufei's place.

Li Hong didn't ask Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi and others didn't explain it, and Xiao Shufei and others didn't know how to ask. Everything was naturally arranged by the maids around Li Hong.

Even Yi Yang and Gao An have never asked Li Hong why this happened since the first summer solstice! As if all this is so natural.

"Then you two should go to Li Sujie for this matter. What's the point of you two going to me?" Li Hong took a sip from the water glass and said to Yiyang and Gao An.

"Do you still dare to say that if it weren't for you, Li Sujie would have dared? Hum, I'm afraid without you, Li Sujie wouldn't have had time to hide after seeing He Lanmin. He dared to provoke that evil star!" Gao An looked furious!

"That's right, who doesn't know that they are following your lead now. If you don't fool them, how dare they provoke you? You are not the leader, so naturally they are looking for you to settle the score!" Yiyang said like a tigress. hummed.

Li Hong finally put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyelids, and said nonchalantly: "So what if I take the lead? Do I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, still have to look at He Lan Minzhi's face?"

"Hey, please don't be so irresponsible, okay? This is a grudge between you and He Lan Minzhi, please don't implicate us, okay? We can't afford to offend others. If they retaliate in the future, we are not Being bullied like a little ant." Yiyang muttered his red lips, which was indescribably seductive.

In the past few years, she has grown into a beautiful and generous royal princess. If it weren't for her aggressive style, she would really be a heart-warming lady.
