Chapter 687 Goodbye Xiao Yuexian

Luoyang City, Ziwei City, East Palace.

Since Luoyang City is called the Eastern Capital, it naturally has its own palace city like Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan. The name of the palace city in Luoyang is Ziwei City.

Ziwei City crosses the Luoshui River, in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, on the high ground of Luoyang City, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, overlooking the whole city, dignified and prominent.

Ziwei City was built under the decree of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Yu Wenkai, the master craftsman, believed that the emperor wanted extravagance and did what he liked, so the Ziwei Palace was built to be extremely magnificent, far better than the previous generations.But then Luoyang City was acquired by Wang Shichong, and after Wang Shichong's defeat, it was acquired by Li Shimin. Li Shimin thought it was too extravagant, so he burned down the Qianyang Palace, but even so, its extravagance is surprising enough.

Li Ke is the prince of the Jian Kingdom, not the emperor. Naturally, Li Ke is not allowed to enter the inner palace of Ziwei City. Li Ke lives in the East Palace in Chang'an, and it is the same in Luoyang.

During Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition, there were still many important military and state affairs in the palace, and Li Ke also had a rare leisure time. When Li Ke first entered the East Palace, he summoned Cen Wenwen, Du Ruhui and several confidant ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters. into the night.

Li Ke was quite diligent in politics, and he didn't settle down until the beginning of the night and stopped writing. At this time, the person Li Ke had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

In Luoyang City, the only people Li Ke could think of so much were Xiao Yuexian and her children.

During the 15 years of Zhenguan, Li Tai was released as an official in Luoyang. At that time, Xiao Yuexian, who was pregnant at the time, also invited him to Luoyang on the grounds that Chang'an was boring. It was two years, and although there were times when I went back to Chang'an, it was rare to see Li Ke after all, and we got together less and separated more.

It was also because of this that the night was getting darker, and Li Ke ordered people to quietly take Xiao Yuexian's mother and son into the East Palace.

"Prince." Taking advantage of the darkness, Xiao Yuexian entered the East Palace in the carriage arranged by Li Ke, and when she saw Li Ke, she threw herself into Li Ke's arms, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke also held Xiao Yuexian in his arms with open arms, and said with his arms around Xiao Yuexian, "I haven't seen you for several months, but I miss you so much."

Xiao Yuexian said: "When Xian'er learned that the crown prince was coming to Luoyang to supervise the country, she was overjoyed. In the past, Xian'er and the crown prince always had a short time to meet each other, but today they finally have a long-term companion."

In the past, when Xiao Yuexian returned to Chang'an, he would only stay for half a month at most, and then returned to Luoyang. However, Li Ke came to Luoyang to supervise the country, the shortest period was three to five months, and the longest period was a year and a half. That's why Xiao Yuexian said this.

Li Ke looked behind Xiao Yuexian and asked, "Why don't you see Kun'er and Lan'er?"

Kun'er and Lan'er in Li Ke's mouth are the son and daughter born to Li Ke by Xiao Yuexian, Li Kun and Li Lan.

They are separated by two places on weekdays, and it is rare to see each other. It is rare that Li Ke has arrived in Luoyang, and Xiao Yuexian has also arrived in the East Palace, but Li Ke has never seen a pair of children, so naturally he is a little curious.

Xiao Yuexian asked delicately: "Does the prince want to see Kun'er and Lan'er, or me?"

Li Ke put his arms around Xiao Yuexian's waist and said with a smile: "Of course I want to see Xian'er from my palace, but Kun'er and Lan'er are also my sons, how can I not miss them?"

Xiao Yuexian explained: "After all, this is Ziwei City, there are many people, and Kun'er and Lan'er are still young, if they cry and make a fuss and cannot be coaxed, I'm afraid it will cause a big commotion and cause trouble for the prince, so I didn't bring it, the prince can go out of the palace to see him some other day."

Li Ke said with a smile: "What's the matter? Right now, the East Palace is filled with people from the inner government that I brought from Chang'an. They are all confidantes. It doesn't matter."

Xiao Yuexian said: "Let's wait another day. After all, Luoyang is not Chang'an. If people find out that it is not good for the prince, now it is the time when the prince is in charge of the country. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the prince."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked, "Are you talking about the fourth brother?"

Xiao Yuexian has been in Chang'an for two years, and she has some roots and eyes and ears. She said so, maybe she has some worries, and Li Tai is probably the only one in Luoyang City who can make Xiao Yuexian worry.

Xiao Yuexian said: "Could it be that the crown prince has forgotten that there is not only a Wei king in Luoyang City, but also a Lin Mo?"

Yang Guogong Lin Mo, the official worship of Luoyang Palace Guard, holding the Luoyang City Guard, is indeed a character.

Li Ke asked with some concern: "Lin Mo is an old minister of the emperor, can it be possible that he still has something to do with the fourth brother?"

There are now two forces in Luoyang City, one commanding [-] forbidden troops, the right leader general Zhi Shili who followed Li Ketong to town Luoyang, and the other is Lin Mo who holds [-] Luoyang defenders.

In terms of the strength of the army, how can the local defenders compare with the forbidden army? Naturally, the 3 forbidden army in Li Ke's hands is better, but Lin Mo's [-] troops are not a small number, so Li Ke has to be careful.

After all, although Lin Mo was an old minister of Li Shimin, Hou Junji dared to oppose Li Shimin, let alone Lin Mo to Li Ke.

Xiao Yuexian said: "This fairy is not sure yet, but after the king of Wei came to Luoyang, he often visited Lin Mo. As far as Xian'er knows, the king of Wei also gave Lin Mo generous gifts and beauties."

"Lin Mo took it?" Li Ke asked with a slight frown.

Xiao Yuexian nodded and said: "If it's not accepted, why would Xian'er bother."

Li Ke said dissatisfiedly: "Xuance is in charge of Yushitai. He once mentioned Lin Mo to me. Yushitaizhong also received memorials to impeach Lin Mo for corruption, but most of them were gifted by officials in Luoyang. , although the amount is a bit larger, it is harmless, but Bengong never thought that he would be so courageous that he would even accept what Li Tai gave him."

Li Ke and Li Tai were at odds, and there was a dispute over the reserve position. Everyone knew about it, even if Lin Mo often lived in Luoyang. Accepting Li Tai's gift is not a matter of character, but a matter of political orientation.

Lin Mo is an old minister, as long as he doesn't deal with Li Tai in Luoyang, Li Ke can allow him to be greedy for ink, and even help him suppress the memorial to impeach him, but if he and Li Tai are in cahoots, then Li Ke can't tolerate him .

Li Ke said: "Lin Mo relied on himself as a veteran of the emperor's father, so he did this, but this time the palace supervises the country and is based in Luoyang, so it is time to set some rules for him."

Listening to Li Ke's words, it seems that he intends to move Lin Mo, Xiao Yuexian reminded Li Ke: "Lin Mo is not very popular, but because he is an old minister, His Majesty put him in the Eastern Capital. The crown prince only needs to be more on guard against Lin Mo. It's better not to touch him easily, so as not to spread gossip."

Li Ke is the prince of the prison who holds the double dragon talisman. It is not difficult to move Lin Mo, but after all, Lin Mo is Li Shimin's person in Luoyang. Li Shimin just went to Liaodong today, and Li Ke moved Lin Mo. Some people in the court will inevitably criticize , Li Ke's reputation is not good, and if the news spreads to Liaodong, how should Li Shimin think of him?

Li Ke said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't touch Lin Mo, of course I won't touch Lin Mo now. Now, touching Lin Mo will only give people something to talk about. I won't do such a thing."

Xiao Yuexian asked: "Then what does the prince plan to do?"

Li Ke replied: "Tomorrow the Japanese palace will beat him first. If he is sensible, everything will be fine. If not, I have my own way to make him unable to stay in Luoyang."
