The conflict with Saleh, with Pei Wanying dumbfounded, was made more jealous by Li Hong, and then he confided it to Li Zhi and Wu Mei.
At this time, Pei Wanying didn't know what her mother and father were thinking, but from her husband's long speech, she had no idea that what he said was the same thing as the conflict with Saleh last night. .
After listening to Li Hong's narration, Li Zhi angrily slapped the table in the pavilion and said angrily: "They are just a group of barbarians. It's so shameful. Well done! Don't worry, your father will support you in everything. With me, The Tang Dynasty now has a strong army and strong horses. How can it be afraid of a big food country? It's just like their declaration of war. It will be seen on the battlefield. "
After listening to Li Hong's narration, Wu Mei looked doubtful. She looked at Li Hong who looked sincere for a while, then looked at Li Zhi who looked indignant, and then looked at her daughter-in-law who was as frightened as a bird on the side, with a look of amusement on her face. smile.
"So, is Saleh's so-called younger brother really a person? Did he really die in our Tang Dynasty?" Wu Mei saw Li Hong about to open his mouth to speak, and suddenly said solemnly: "Li Hong, what do you think is the most important thing?" I really want to think it over clearly and never hide anything.”
Li Hong nodded solemnly. He knew in his heart that some things might be hidden from his stubborn father, but he would never be able to hide them from his thoughtful mother. So he said: "Well, Ben Qasim does have his secrets." Man, I was crucified on the wall of Yumenguan."
"Back then? When was that?" Li Zhi didn't care how Qasim died or who was killed. In his opinion, anyone who was different from him would be killed if he was killed by Li Hong.
"When he went to Anxi, he passed by Yumen Pass and killed Ben Qasim. Don't you know that he is the prince of Dashi Kingdom? Why did he kill him?" Wu Mei looked at Li Hong intently and asked. .
Li Hong was only fourteen years old at that time. Could it be that he really had the ability to predict the future? Could it be said... that he, who has never been out of Chang'an, knows the existence of the Dashi Country and its power
But other courtiers in the Tang Dynasty were not very familiar with these. Even Wang Mingyuan, who had been stationed in Jiling City, the Persian Governor's Mansion, after being rescued by him from Jiling City, based on his experience in garrisoning the Persian Governor's Mansion, was not as good as Li Hong. He has such a thorough understanding of the food country.
So, why does Li Hong know? Why is the Big Food Country listed as a strong enemy
Nowadays, careful and careful planning is required, and step by step must be thought over and over before the actual order is given. In order to prepare for the possible war with the Dashi Kingdom in the future, the Minister of Rites was even sent to Anxi.
Such a careful and careful way of doing things is rare for Li Hong. When he suppressed Anxi, defeated Tubo, and conquered Liaodong, including gathering the navy to attack the Japanese country, he was not as cautious as this time. Why? Woolen cloth? Just because the food country is powerful
And on that map, there are more oceans than land! And that ship, one of them can wipe out all the Five Tooth Battleships! There are also early movable type printing, ice cubes, perfume, glass...
Wu Mei found that when facing Li Hong, after one reason appeared in her heart, more reasons would appear one after another.
Then the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more reason why it would appear like blisters, which would only pop up more and more. In the end, it would cover up the essence of everything, leaving only... why!
Like a person who predicts the future, everything seems to be under his control, and the general trend of the world is under his understanding and control.
"I said he was young and energetic, but you might not believe it. I said that the Dashi Country was powerful, and you must ask me why I knew it. But in any case, I had no choice but to kill him in the first place. I thought he was coveting my land in the Tang Dynasty. , They wanted to understand me for Dashi's attack on the Tang Dynasty, so... I killed him." Li Hong looked at Wu Mei's calm eyes and said in the same tone.
The four people sat on the soft benches in the corridor. After a while, Wu Mei let out a long breath and said helplessly: "Everyone has been killed and beaten. Since you think They are malicious and covet me, so you must pay close attention to everything they do in the Tang Dynasty and don't let them cause any trouble. Don't regret it when the time comes. "
"Just them? What tricks can they do..." Li Hong suddenly stopped talking, looking thoughtful, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Yes, it's true, I almost forgot about it. Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me. Thank you, Queen Mother." Reminder, no, I have to leave. If you don’t tell me, I’ve forgotten. They may indeed do something else.”
Li Hong stood up, looked at Pei Wanying next to him, and was about to ask her whether to stay or go with him, Wu Mei reached out and threw a fragrant handkerchief on him, and then said angrily: "Can you be a little more calm like a prince? Don’t be surprised by anything you do! What on earth did you think of?”
Pei Wanying took the fragrant handkerchief thrown by Wu Mei, hurriedly returned it to Wu Mei, and then signaled to Li Hong that she would leave with him.
"I didn't expect anything, but I just had a clue. Since they have evil intentions, they must have an agenda. With their weak strength, if they want to achieve something in Chang'an, they must unite with other people who are interested in me in the Tang Dynasty. Who is the most likely person with intentions? Isn't it the Princess of Japan? I haven't seen her during this time, so I don't know what she is doing secretly." Li Hong stood up and said analytically.
"Yesterday, you came to the palace to visit me and your father. You kept begging us, hoping to allow their envoy to Tang Dynasty to go to Taiyi City to study. However, your father refused because you are now the supervisor of the country and should come to you if anything happens. "Wu Mei's bright eyes flashed with wisdom and she said lightly.
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother. You are truly my biological Queen. I'll invite you and my father to have dinner in the East Palace another day. No, I'll invite you to Chang'an City for dinner. I'll take my leave first." Someone just left without saying anything. After finishing, he took Pei Wanying's hand and left the pavilion.
"You are his biological queen, why did he need to confirm it?" Li Zhi's voice sounded in the corridor.
On the way back to the palace, Li Hong could not help but hear Pei Wanying's worried thoughts. The gentle and virtuous Crown Princess could not grasp the relationship between the three most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty.
So even now while talking to Li Hong, my heartbeat is still racing and I feel scared.
Li Hong hugged her shoulders comfortingly and told her that she would understand if she stayed in the palace for a few more days.
But little did he know that in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only two people who could make Li Zhi and Wu Mei tolerate their anger and be tolerant. One was him and the other was Li Lingyue.
Princess Dalai is not in the city center? So where would she go? Have you really been counter-assimilated by Saleh and Bai Chunce? Are you really planning to become an enemy of yourself and Datang? Or are they plotting together now
Bai Chun's arrival answered Li Hong's doubts. Princess Dalai did not go to Saleh's place, but went to Chen Jingzhi's home.
Hua Meng quickly said that he would go find her, but was stopped by Li Hong: "Forget it, I'll go over and see what she is doing."
Bai Chun, who was left behind to meet Wu Mei, took Hua Meng and Mang Zhong with him and headed for Chen Jingzhi's current residence in Chang'an.
In a few days, Chen Jingzhi and Pei Xingjian will go to the Nanhai Navy, but he still doesn't know, will Chen Qinghan follow them there together, or will he stay in Chang'an
What's more, since the last time he went to the palace to meet his mother, Chen Qinghan has been summoned to the palace several times by her mother during this period. Obviously, her mother has other plans, but what about herself
It's quite beautiful, and it would be nice to put it in the East Palace. If a call comes, but will it come
"A little bit." When someone stepped into Chen Jingzhi's house, such a sentence suddenly came out of his mouth. Hua Meng and Mang Zhong behind him had a puzzled look on their faces. They didn't know that His Highness's words were a little bit. Well, what does it mean
Chen Jingzhi's yard is not very big. Strictly speaking, it is just a second courtyard. There is a narrow garden in the middle of the front yard and the back yard. The total adds up to only five or six houses. In terms of his current level, this is already Shabby enough.
"Why are you here?" Princess Dalai ignored Chen Qinghan's stunned look and looked at Li Hong who walked into Chen Qinghan's boudoir and asked warily.
"No need." Li Hong said, looking at Chen Qinghan who was about to salute, and then looked around Chen Qinghan's boudoir without scruples.
Chen Qinghan hurriedly followed Li Hong's gaze around. Fortunately, there was nothing shady about her daughter's house in the room, so she forced herself to calm down and asked Li Hong to sit down.
"I can't believe that your boudoir is so comfortably decorated. It makes people feel very comfortable. You must be able to have a good sleep at night." Li Hong continued to look at it again and again, while praising.
But as a woman's boudoir, being praised by a man, and there is no relationship between the two, would make anyone feel very strange, including Chen Qinghan.
"Thank you... thank you for your compliments, Your Highness." Chen Qinghan's little face was stained with the afterglow of the setting sun that shone in from the window, making her look gentle and a little more holy at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Li Hong crossed his legs and asked, looking at Princess Dali's daughter.
"Learn embroidery." Princess Dalai showed Li Hong a flower she was embroidering.
"What is this embroidery on? It looks like a ghost painting, why is it so ugly?" Li Hong said without giving the Japanese princess any face.
Li Hong had already figured out the way Princess Dalai came here. The two had met in Yangzhou, so after arriving in Chang'an, Princess Dalai had no friends, and there were not many people she could find, except Chen Qinghan. , I’m afraid she doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
"This is a peony flower. I just started to embroider it, so I can't see its outline." Chen Qinghan felt that the prince was doubting his embroidery skills, so he had to speak up.
