Chang'an Miyagi.
Emperor Li Yan was on the dragon boat in the West Inner Garden, playing around with a group of eunuchs and court ladies. The game is not a novelty game, it's just throwing pots. Everyone formed a big circle. There was a green glaze vase in the center of the circle more than ten steps away. There were a few scattered feather arrows in it, and there were more than a dozen feather arrows scattered outside the vase. branch.
At this time, it was the turn of a plump and beautiful court lady. She threw several sticks in succession but failed to get one. There was a burst of laughter around her. Li Yan, who was sitting on the Hu bed with his legs crossed, just took a sip of wine, and seeing the pouting maid was so cute, he immediately laughed loudly: "Accept the penalty and accept the penalty, if you miss five shots, you will have to drink three glasses of wine as fine, come and drink!" "
The palace lady looked very annoyed on her face, but in fact, there was a hint of success in her eyes. She came to Hu's bed and knelt down, raised her head and looked at Li Yan pitifully: "Can your majesty let the concubine drink less? If I drank three cups at once, I will definitely pass out, so I won't be able to serve His Majesty."
Li Yan was overjoyed, and waved his hand to order someone to offer the wine glass: "You can't drink it all at once, you can drink it slowly, I have plenty of time, don't worry."
The maid drank two cups slowly, clutching her forehead as if she was about to fall, bent her waist, and leaned her delicate body on Li Yan's lap. Seeing that Li Yan was not angry, the palace lady mustered up her courage and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am not very strong at drinking, please punish me..."
"It's okay, it's okay, come, come and sit on it, I forgive you for your innocence." Li Yan laughed loudly, and took advantage of the situation to hug the maid who got up, her hands were already restless.
The eunuchs and maids around were not surprised when they saw this scene, they were obviously used to it. Only the two court ladies who thought they were good-looking were full of envy and jealousy at the moment, and laughed and continued to play games in a blink of an eye, so as to find a chance to sit beside the emperor.
Although the emperor was an ignorant emperor and his situation was miserable, these court ladies were playthings in the hands of the emperor at any time, even if the emperor was no longer qualified to handle political affairs. In this deep palace, if you can't be favored by the emperor, you will have nothing. If you are favored by the emperor, at least in the circle of the palace, you can still feel proud and proud.
They have no control over affairs outside the palace, and they are not qualified to do so.
From time to time, a young and smart eunuch came to Li Yan's side, leaned over and said softly: "Your Majesty, please see King Qi."
Li Yan's mood immediately faded, and his restless hands left the warm and soft place, and his energy seemed to be gone, "Let him come here."
"yes."
When the surrounding eunuchs and maids heard that King Qi was coming, they all consciously stopped playing and playing, and retreated to the side in two rows, lowered their eyebrows and nodded, breathing cautiously, and the expression of fear could not be concealed written on their faces.
Li Yan caught a glimpse of the posture of the crowd as if meeting a god, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, which burned instantly, and his eyes became resentful and violent. However, it was only for a moment, as if he had poured a basin of cold water on someone's face, there was no more resentment, only deep sorrow and helplessness.
Li Maozhen has already boarded the dragon boat.
Wearing a royal robe, King Qi is slender and imposing, walking with his hands behind his back, his steps are not hurried or slow, and he has the demeanor of ruling the world all his life. In contrast, even though Li Yan is sitting upright at the moment, he is not energetic, and his appearance is really not on the stage.
"Your Majesty, Li Maozhen, see Your Majesty!" Li Maozhen saluted like a rite, her movements were meticulous, and her voice was neither soft nor heavy.
"Aiqing is flat." Li Yan said lightly, with a pretentious and unassuming majesty in his words, before the other party stood up, he asked immediately: "Why did Aiqing enter the palace?"
Standing between Yingying Yanyan and the beardless eunuch, Li Maozhen is like a starry night and a bright moon, shining brightly.
He seems to be well-behaved, but in fact his eyes are full of contempt for Li Yan—the contempt of the strong looking down on the weak: "I heard that your majesty has been playing too much recently and often stays up all night, so he specially went to the palace to give advice. I hope that your majesty will put the dragon body as the most important thing." , Pay attention to rest, if you can have less fun and care more about state affairs, it will be a blessing for the community."
Li Yan's face turned red and green after hearing these words, as if the elders were giving orders to the younger generation, feeling greatly humiliated. He was so ashamed and angry, not because others heard this and would only accuse Li Yan of being stupid and praise King Qi for being loyal and courageous, but because he couldn't bear the other party's attitude of pointing fingers at him so strongly.
That is the great shame of the king and the great honor of the ministers.
For the courtiers, it is very refreshing to be able to criticize the emperor.
Li Yan said with a sullen face, "Does King Qi have anything else to play?"
Li Maozhen said: "This is what I want to talk about."
Li Yan's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
The so-called he has fun all day and all night, of course it is not a recent development, it has always been like this. The reason why Li Maozhen came here to talk to him today was because he was told by the eunuchs around him two days ago that the palace was short of money, there was no money, and there was a problem with the supply of fine wine, food and clothing. So Li Yan sent someone to tell Li Maozhen to transfer the money.
Li Maozhen entered the palace today, with such a tough attitude, of course she was dissatisfied with Li Yan asking for money, and told him that he would not increase his expenses.

How does this make Li Yan bear it
Li Yan stared at Li Maozhen, who stood tall and handsome, and took a lot of effort to convince himself not to feel ashamed. He said coldly: "Li Maozhen! You have to remember, I am the king and you are the minister, and this You are not the only prince in the world!"
Li Maozhen was quite surprised that Li Yan suddenly dared to say such tough words, but he still just smiled casually: "So what if there are more vassal kings? Li Maozhen doesn't pay attention to mere mediocre people."
Li Yan's eyes were red: "Don't you know that King An has appeared again?!"
Li Maozhen was stunned, and her eyes sank a little, "Your Majesty knows about this?"
Seeing Li Maozhen's expression, Li Yan was very happy, and proudly raised his chin: "What I want to know, I can naturally know!"
Li Maozhen controlled Guanzhong, Chang'an, and the imperial palace. His people were all inside and outside, and Li Yan was especially closely guarded. Under such circumstances, the news that should not be known by Li Yan can still come in from outside the palace, which shows Li Maozhen's incompetence and the emperor's profound background.
Li Maozhen quickly calmed down and regained his composure. He chuckled: "Perhaps King An didn't go to Immortal Realm, but will he come to Chang'an? Even if he came, does His Majesty think he won't meet Li Maozhen first?"
Li Yan's pride suddenly froze on his face.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest, and I will leave." Li Maozhen saluted, retreated, and turned to leave when he got to the side of the boat.
Looking at the back of the other party, Li Yan clenched his teeth, feeling ashamed and angry.
But soon, he snorted coldly, and said to himself in a firm tone: "As long as Brother Ye is still in the mortal world, you gang of rebellious ministers and thieves will die sooner or later. Let's see how long you can continue to be rampant!" !"
...
In the afternoon, as usual, it was time for Li Maozhen to meet important officials and staff.
In the pavilion next to the bamboo forest of the rockery lake, Li Maozhen sat at the head, Zhao Bingkun was at the bottom, and there were only the two of them in the room.
After finishing the business, Zhao Bingkun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did Your Highness go to Miyagi today?"
Li Maozhen glanced at him, "Not only did I go to Miyagi, but I also heard that His Majesty knew about King An's appearance."
On Zhao Bingkun's face, there was a smile of Zhizhu: "Your Majesty should be very happy."
"Not only happy, but also arrogant." Li Maozhen laughed.
Zhao Bingkun said: "Your Majesty thinks that he can get the news, but his people have hidden it from our surveillance, but he doesn't know that His Highness intentionally revealed the news to him."
Li Maozhen said indifferently: "The most important thing for King An to appear in the world again is to join hands with me. Naturally, he will pass through Chang'an on the way. When he arrives in Chang'an, given his relationship with Li Yan, he will naturally go to the palace to meet him. With the power of King An, let him go to the palace in advance. It is reasonable for Li Yan to get the news."
Zhao Bingkun nodded with sharp eyes, "It seems that 'Li Congjing' is in good condition, His Highness has made up his mind to use him to impersonate King An."
A strange look flashed across Li Maozhen's eyes, and he was silent for a while, "It's really good. After training for so long, it's close to being able to confuse the fake with the real one. When he memorizes what he should memorize, it's time for him to play... Gao Pian and Wang Jian's troops are about to enter the Central Plains, and they won't leave us much time."
Zhao Bingkun was gearing up, "Finally, this day has come, to compete in the Central Plains, and to rule the world! This time, our military strategists will definitely have the last laugh!"
...
Shen Yunshan.
The small and pitiful Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is still there, but the Taoists are no longer the few Taoists before.
Under the starry night, two people stood on the eaves of the house, their clothes dancing endlessly in front of the crescent moon.
One of them looked at the stone tablet in front of the Taoist temple with his hands behind his back, and was full of emotion: "A few years ago, King An understood the Taoist text left by Yuan Tianshi here, and he repaired his spiritual root with the help of the Taoist mechanism in the text, and achieved success in one fell swoop." Practice Qi."
The person who spoke was Chu Nanhuai.
Su Emei, who was silently facing the starry sky, withdrew her gaze from a distance, and cast it on the stone tablet, but said nothing for a while.
Chu Nanhuai covered his sleeves with both hands, and said in a complicated way: "The change in Kunlun, Wang Ansheng, you and I walked fast enough with Cui Keli, so that we were not surrounded and killed in Kunlun by Li Maozhen, Gao Pian and others. Now Cui Keli I have already returned to the Central Plains, and when I left, I finally no longer lost my soul, and I still worked hard to keep the foundation of King An, inherit the unfinished ambition of King An, and help the society to wipe out the thieves and rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty... You are going to come here to die Take a look at Yunshan, many days have passed, we master and apprentice can't stay here forever, we should go back to Dupanshan."
After a while, Su Emei whispered: "Master, go back, I will stay here."
Chu Nanhuai frowned and said, "What can you do here? It's too desolate, and there are few people around. It's far worse than our Dupan Mountain!"
Su Emei lowered her head, bit her red lips, her shoulders tensed, "Qingzhou... I won't go back, what face do I have to go back? King An... We failed to protect King An. .. ... "
Her eyes were instantly red, and even though her shoulders were suppressed hard, she couldn't help shaking.
Chu Nanhuai sighed: "Why are you bothering? The changes that day were too hasty, and we have no time to deal with them at all... Do you really want to stay here alone?"
Su Emei turned her eyes to the distance again, recovered for a moment, and murmured: "This is where he made his fortune. If there is still a miracle, it must be here."
"Miracle?" Chu Nanhuai smiled wryly, "How can there be any miracle..."
Su Emei remained silent.
"Who says there are no miracles? I have one here, do you want to hear it?" Suddenly, a mature and charming voice sounded.
Chu Nanhuai and Su Emei turned their heads at the same time, and saw Song Jiao flying over the treetops, her cloak like wings.
"You two are really able to run, but you actually hide here wandering in clouds and wild cranes, which made me search for a long time." On the roof, Song Jiao first teased, and then looked at Su Emei with deep meaning, "If that brat knows you are so Affectionate, maybe I will take you into the house, and then you will become a princess."
"Aunt Song... why did you say that?" Su Emei was in a daze, as if she had a premonition of something, but she was afraid that it wasn't true, and the slightest touch would burst like a blister.
Chu Nanhuai was also surprised.
Song Jiao didn't talk nonsense, and suddenly said in a low voice: "King An has an order, please obey!"
