After sending Pei Wanying out from the East Palace in person, when Pei Wanying's refusal and Li Hong's insistence were at loggerheads, Bai Chun appeared in the sight of the two again, so Pei Wanying also chose to acquiesce in time, allowing Li Hong to use the East Palace's The exclusive carriage took her home, accompanied by Hua Meng and Jingzhe.
After watching the carriage leave, Bai Chuncai said in front of him: "Sir, King Li Zhe of England has gone to Prince Pei's Mansion. He looks very anxious."
Li Hong, who turned around and walked back, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Zhe's possibility could be eliminated. Now except Li Xian, who was the biggest suspect, there was no one else.
"Is that Wang Bo still in his house?" Li Hong suddenly remembered Wang Bo and asked.
"He should still be there. I haven't seen him in the past few days, but... after the King of England entered the mansion, Zhang Daan hurriedly walked out of the mansion." Bai Chun said with a frown.
"Zhang Da'an? A bachelor of the Chongwen Hall, a third-rank disciple of Tong Zhongshu. It seems that he is also a student of Kong Yingda, and he has a close relationship with Kong Zhiyue."
"Yes, after checking, in addition to Zhang Da'an, there are also Liu Nayan, Xu Shuya, Cheng Xuanyi and others who have had close contact with King Pei recently. As for the Prince of Ying's palace, only Langya King Li Chong and Zhongshushe's Cui Xuanwei went there in the past two days. However, others found nothing.”
"There is no need to check the person who is on the surface. Since he dares to show up at Li Xian's mansion in a big way, he probably won't do anything. But... the queen mother should also take action, right? By the way, isn't there a Ge Xiyuan? Isn't he at Li Xian's house during this time?" Li Hong murmured, looking at the splendid, tall and solemn building of the Daming Palace in front of him.
"Ge Xiyuan has been with His Majesty on the expedition to Liaodong a long time ago. He is the Taishi Ling. After Li Chunfeng, he was the one who held the post. Didn't you know?" Bai Chun was very surprised. Ge Xiyuan put it bluntly, he was just a recorder of historical events. Observe astronomy from the palm of your hand and determine the calendar.
To put it bluntly, it is actually to use the instinct of a magic stick when following the emperor's chariot to see if it is appropriate to go on an expedition today, calculate the power of heaven, and add some mystery and anomalies to the emperor's expedition. In short, it is to ensure the emperor's all-round protection The charioteer can conquer in person and return triumphantly.
Li Hong seemed to have a stiff neck. After hearing Bai Chun's words, he turned back to look at Bai Chun stiffly and murmured: "Are you saying that the magic stick Ge Xiyuan went to war with his father?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Bai Chun became even more curious. He hadn't seen the prince's confused expression for a long time.
"It's over, he... It would be weird if my father could win in Liaodong. Ge Xiyuan is even stupider than Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng is really mysterious after all. Ge Xiyuan is just pretending to be mysterious. He doesn't understand shit." Li Hiro said, shaking his head.
The Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau followed the imperial commander on an expedition. This was something that happened when the late emperor was still alive. However, the late emperor was a man who dared to defy heaven and earth and did not care at all about the calculations and other prophecies of the Taishi Ling.
But his own dragon father? Forget it, he likes and trusts this mysterious, mysterious thing very much. Now that he is taking Ge Xiyuan to Liaodong, Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui may not be able to persuade Father Long.
I returned to the Ministry of War to check the dynamics of the war in Liaodong during this period, and found nothing wrong. Whether it was the marching route, the setting up of camps, etc., they were all in order. Apparently it was not Father Long's turn to intervene yet.
After letting the Minister of War leave, Cheetah quickly ran into Shangshu Ling Kuan's luxurious study, stepped on the thick carpet, came to Li Hong, and whispered: "Sir, today the Queen is summoning King Pei and King Ying. Entering the palace."
Li Hong felt happy that Dragon Mother had finally taken action. As long as Li Xian and Li Zhe were summoned to the Daming Palace, it would be impossible for Li Xian to create the illusion that he wanted to murder him. In this way, at least he would During this period, you can have some peace and quiet, and you won't be in a more passive situation all the time.
At the same time, you can also check carefully to see if there are any flaws in the deaths of Li Zhong and Helan Minyue that you can exploit.
It seems that Long Ma really deserves to be the first female emperor. With such political awareness, political sensitivity, and decisiveness in political struggle, she was able to quietly recruit Li Xian and Li Zhe in such a short period of time. The palace stopped their initiative to continue setting up a trap. This is courage.
This courage is far inferior to that of Long's father, not to mention himself and Long's mother. Through this incident of being framed, Li Hongcai deeply realized the cruelty of group struggles for political interests. Why has it been so since ancient times? What has been described so far is more cruel than the fighting on the battlefield.
Because he can always infiltrate into your surroundings silently, leaving you unaware and falling into the trap they set before you even have time to take precautions.
And, more importantly, this consideration of a person's character, means, and strategy can be said to be extremely stringent.
Just like myself, not only was I indecisive about Helan Minyue, but in the end I buried a big thunder under my feet. At the same time, I also lost my forward-looking judgment on the development of things, allowing future things to develop and break away. Take control of yourself.
Let’s look at Dragon Mother again. She takes action when it’s time to take action. She is fierce and resolute and never sloppy. Often when one thing is done, all the negative consequences of its future development will be cut off. She can truly eliminate the root cause and leave no future troubles. .
Therefore, Li Hong had to admit that even though he had been reincarnated nine times and ten times, he still lacked the decisive and sharp methods like his mother in terms of judgment and cognition of things and the ability to make decisions about things, so he had to admit that history The reason why the only female emperor in the world is the only one is definitely because of her unique methods and decisive character.
"Do you know why the Queen Mother summoned them to the palace?" Li Hong felt much calmer and asked with a smile.
"The Queen issued an order to summon King Pei and King Ying to the palace. It is said that it was because His Majesty was personally on an expedition to Liaodong, and you shouldered the heavy responsibility of supervising the country. The Queen always felt lonely and deserted in the palace, so she ordered them to come to the palace to accompany her until Your Majesty has returned triumphantly from the expedition to Liaodong," Cheetah replied truthfully.
Li Hong stared blankly, and the ink pen in his hand slipped from his hand to the carpet unknowingly: "You don't forget to give me some shoes at this time? Li Dan and Li Lingyue are not enough to accompany her? I won't go to the palace. She was the one who drove me out of the palace. She told me to leave after being there for a while, and now she said that Chuchu was pitiful and lonely, making me look like an empty-nest old man. It seemed that I, the prince, was unfilial and disliked the lonely old man. It means something.”
"Perhaps you can spend more time in the palace, even if the queen chases you away..."
"You farted, the feather duster didn't hit you, you naturally don't feel pain, and your back doesn't hurt when you stand and talk. You try to touch the feather duster, your hands are strong. Let's tell Yiyang and Gao'an, let's go together today Accompany me to the palace and have dinner with my mother." Li Hong thought for a while, since Mother Long was acting so pitiful, he had to cooperate no matter what he said.
In fact, there was nothing important to deal with at hand, and the left and right servants still performed their duties very diligently. Although Zhang Wenguan, the right servant, requested once after he became the minister, he hoped to retire and return to his hometown because of his old age.
But now he cooperates well with Cui Yuanzong, the newly promoted Zuopshe. All matters related to the six departments are carried out in an orderly manner according to the functional division of left and right Pushe. As for the resignation, I have never heard him talk about it again.
They went to their respective study rooms and wandered around, turning things over and over on the table casually. After making a mess on the table, the minister ordered the master to pat his butt and leave.
I am going to have dinner with my mother in the evening, and I don’t know if Yiyang and Gao An will bring gifts to the palace. Don’t go in empty-handed, which will be troublesome, but I think they won’t, if they don’t understand this etiquette. , I just sent their husbands to prison.
While walking, he chatted with Hua Mengxu about the four maids, Bai Chun and Xiaoxue. Now, except for Bai Chun who is in Prince Pu's Mansion, the four Xiaoxue are in charge of all the daily life of the East Palace.
Seeing the Crown Prince slowly walking into the Li Zheng Hall and hurriedly saluting, Li Hong caressed Xiaoxue's pretty cheeks without any courtesy, which made Xiaoxue blush all of a sudden and make her heart beat brightly.
The absurdity of His Highness the Crown Prince last night made her feel weak, unbelievable and embarrassed when she thought about it today.
"Sir, Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an are already waiting for you inside." Xiaoxue is the thinnest among the four maids. Although she has made great progress in the past few years, until now, every time she sleeps with the prince, It still made her feel shy and embarrassed.
"Your Majesty Quan Yi and Wang Xun have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Quan Yi and Wang Xun saw Li Hong coming over in casual clothes, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Don't be so polite. We are all a family. There is no need to be restrained. What's more, you were all officials of the East Palace before. If you are too polite now, it will look awkward." Although Li Hong was talking to Quan Yi and Wang Xun, he kept looking at them. Yiyang and Gaoan.
These two royal princesses have become more and more charming since they got married. The smart, restrained and charming amorous feelings of a first-time husband flow slowly over the two of them like an overflowing light. Anyone can see it at a glance. , this is definitely a happy portrayal of the newlyweds.
"The two princesses are here to welcome you, but I hope you won't blame the two princesses for not being able to welcome them from afar." Li Hong smiled and sat between Yiyang and Gao'an.
Then Quan Yi and Wang Xun looked at each other and whispered a few instructions to the maids in the palace. When they saw the maids, they left quickly. After a while, the two maids came in holding a gift box in each hand.
"Your Highness, this is the gift prepared by Your Highness the Princess. Please take a look at it." Quan Yi and Wang Xun said as they handed the gift boxes in their hands to Yiyang and Gao An, and then they were released by the two women. In front of Li Hong.
"You're so polite, you even prepared a gift for me. You said this is serious... The gift is too light and I don't want it." This was the first time for these two people since they reprimanded them last time about the old money. Come to the East Palace.
