Chapter 976
Li Xiaogong was walking on the way out of the palace, the night in the palace was very quiet, and for some reason, he always felt that the palace was extremely cold.

Walking in front of Tai Chi Hall and walking towards Chengtian Gate, Li Xiaogong found that the candles in the East Palace were still on.

While walking, Li Xiaogong asked the little eunuch who accompanied him out of the palace, "It's this hour, is His Royal Highness still busy?"

The little eunuch bowed and said, "It should be that Duke Zhao is still in the East Palace."

"Mr. Zhao?"

Li Xiaogong frowned and looked in the direction of Donggong.

The little eunuch said again: "Because His Royal Highness has to deal with the matters of the five surnames, he often asks Zhao Guogong. These days, Zhao Guogong often goes to the East Palace."

Li Xiaogong withdrew his gaze and continued to walk outside the palace without saying anything. In his heart, he knew very well that it was not a good thing for the current crown prince to get too close to the uncle of the country.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the candlelight in front of him and said, "I've been thinking about those words for a long time in the past, what my uncle said."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian's expression and said, "It's the old minister's words that bored His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian shook his head, "Uncle is right. Now that the five surnames have been disintegrated, those who should be arrested and killed have been arranged. In fact, there is not much to do alone. They are just reviewed according to the memorials of various ministries. As for who should Catch, who should be killed is actually arranged by the emperor long ago."

Changsun Wuji did not deny that what would happen to the five surnames, in fact, His Majesty already had plans.

Wanting the prince to deal with the matter of the five surnames is also to cut off the last thought.

Let the current prince also stand on the opposite side of the five surnames, separate the entire royal family from the five surnames, and stand on the opposite side of the five surnames.

Let the world know that the court will punish the dirty things of the five surnames without mercy.

Li Chengqian looked at the four sentences written by Li Zheng, "The emperor is so afraid of Li Zheng now, and Li Zheng will also be a threat to Jiangshan in the future, right?"

Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "The veteran dare not say anything about the future, but based on what the veteran knows about Li Zheng, Li Zheng is a person who does not respect the gods and the imperial power."

After another pause, Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "This is the reason why Your Majesty is really afraid of Li Zheng."

Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji puzzled.

Changsun Wuji said again: "Because Li Zheng has the world in his heart, but he has no imperial power, this is where His Majesty really fears Li Zheng."

Li Chengqian thought about this passage in his heart, "Is there a world without imperial power?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Li Zheng is such a child, he can pretend to be the world in his heart, but one day, Li Zheng's world can't pretend to be imperial power."

Occasionally, the wind outside the window could be heard, and Li Chengqian said again: "What would a world without imperial power be like? Would such a world exist?"

Changsun Wuji looked at the dark night sky and said, "I don't know, either."

It wasn't until dawn that Changsun Wuji returned home.

Changsun Wuji looked at his son and said, "During this period of time, take care of yourself and never do anything excessive."

Chang Sun Chong nodded in agreement.

The night passed, and the rain still didn't stop.

When Lu Dongzan walked out of the post house, there were no people on the street, and now the gate of the city has not yet opened and it is not time to open the market.

Lu Dongzan was walking on Zhuque Street, and unexpectedly found that the streets of Chang'an are very clean now, which has changed a lot from the time when he came to Chang'an.

Finding a soup and cake stall next to the morning market, Lu Dongzan sat down and asked the waiter, "Has the road to your Chang'an City been repaired?"

The buddy smiled and said, "It's true that it was repaired last year."

Lu Dongzan looked at the regular road and said in a low voice, "This road is well built."

The man smiled and said: "That's not true, Jingyang's craftsmanship is of course very good."

Hearing the word Jingyang, Lu Dongzan was a little surprised.

The man said again: "They also installed drainage ditches for every household along the road, not to mention how convenient it is."

Seeing Lu Dongzan's Tubo attire, the man smiled and said, "If you Tubo people live in Chang'an for a long time, you don't want to go back to Tubo."

Lu Dongzan smiled bitterly, "Of course I still have to go back."

The clerk brought a bowl of mutton soup to Lu Dongzan, gave him two cakes and said, "Do you know the Turkic envoy back then?"

"A messenger from the Turks?"

The guy laughed and said, "Who is that Turkic?"

After thinking for a while, the man said, "That Ashina is here. Didn't he come to Chang'an to negotiate peace? How many years have passed since this talk, and he is still in Chang'an now."

"He still lives in Chang'an?" Lu Dongzan stood up and said, "Where does he live?"

The guy smiled and said, "How would I know."

Of course, Lu Dongzan was very clear about what happened in Turks back then.

After drinking the mutton soup wholeheartedly, Lu Dongzan left while eating the cake.

If you want to inquire about people in Chang'an City, it is really inappropriate to ask a guy who buys soup cakes. If you want to know where a person lives, there is a place that is most convenient.

Lu Dongzan immediately thought of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and he also knew Li Chongyi of Jingzhao Mansion.

Early in the morning, Lu Dongzan knocked on the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion before the official clerks were on duty.

The official who opened the door saw that the person who came was from Tubo, so he said: "I found the wrong government office. We don't care about the affairs of outsiders."

Seeing that the other party was about to close the door after finishing speaking, Lu Dongzan hurriedly grabbed the door and said, "Wait a minute!"

Seeing his reaction, the official said angrily, "What? Do you want to force your way in?"

Lu Dongzan quickly said again: "I am Lu Dongzan, the envoy of Tubo. Li Chongyi of your government office recognizes me. I'm here to meet him."

The principal of Jingzhao Mansion is Li Zheng, but Li Zheng has never been here.

Everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion knew that the real person in charge was Li Chongyi.

The official looked Lu Dongzan up and down and said, "Do you really know Mr. Chongyi?"

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "Please let me know."

As he spoke, Lu Dongzan handed over a small piece of silver cake.

The official accepted the silver cake without any expression on his face and said, "Wait!"

Lu Dongzan stood at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and waited for half an hour, until the gates of Chang'an City were opened, and the number of pedestrians on Zhuque Street began to increase, and then he waited for people to return.

Follow the officials in front of you into the government office of Jingzhao Mansion.

At a glance, there are quite a few officials in Jingzhao Mansion.

Li Chongyi came while wearing an official uniform, saw Lu Dongzan frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

Looking at Li Chongyi today, Lu Dongzan said, "I didn't expect you to change so much."

Li Chongyi looked himself up and down, and said that he was not familiar with Lu Dongzan, but had met and talked with Lu Dongzan a few times when he was in Jingyang.

Li Chongyi tightened his official uniform and said, "I have a lot of things to do here, so please speak up quickly."

Lu Dongzan bowed and said, "I know that the Turkic envoy Ashina is still in Chang'an. I want to meet him, but I don't know where he lives in Chang'an."
