Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

After listening to his mother's words, the prince hurriedly asked about the person behind Mencius's words.It seemed that he felt like a prey stared at by a poisonous snake, feeling helpless.

The queen shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know who that person was, and looked at Prince Li Shi worriedly: "My lord, the situation in this imperial city is extremely strange, and mother is just a rough guess now." .You must not take it lightly."

Prince Li Shi sat down heavily on the buttocks that had been half-leaved from the chair, and bowed his hands respectfully to the queen: "Son, Li Shi, I would like to follow your mother's teachings!"

After some conversation, the prince who was still young couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.After all, if you don't sit on the dragon chair for a day, you can't relax your vigilance towards anyone.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Looking up the historians' classics, from the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing can be vividly seen.How can the queen rest assured?He could only keep reminding himself and the prince.

"Okay, let's go back to the East Palace today. Then Ling Changfeng went to see Huayang when he came back. You guys grew up together since childhood. Do you know why?"

"The child doesn't know!"

"Well, you have to remember, don't get too close to Ling Changfeng, now that he is on the cusp of the storm, don't be dragged into the water by him."

"Yes, the child has not been exposed to Changfeng for a long time."

"According to the maid beside me, have you ever been in love with the maid beside Ling Changfeng?"

Prince Li Shi saw his mother's tone suddenly became harsh, shook his head hastily, and denied inarticulately: "No, no, absolutely nothing!"

"Hmph, I don't care if this is true or not. You have not married a wife or concubine yet. Even though a maid from the Ling Mansion grew up with you, you have to remember that your identities are very different!"

"I don't dare." Li Shi bowed his hands in agreement.

However, what the queen didn't know was that what made Li Shi dare not move his mind was not her few light words, but Ling Changfeng's heavy iron fist.

Recalling the tragic sight of Ling Changfeng greeting him with his big fist as long as he stuck to Xiaolan's side for more than a cup of tea, Li Shi shuddered unconsciously, and his head ached.

"Mother, the child has not finished his homework, so he will leave first." Li Shi hurriedly bid farewell to his mother.

"Well, you don't have to study too hard, you can take this preserved fruit home and eat it." The queen reached out and handed Li Shi a basket of preserved fruit.

"Thank you, Empress!" After respectfully taking the basket of preserved fruit, Li Shi slowly backed out.

Yongchongfang, Lingfu.

Under the tall red-lacquered wooden door, a pair of young teenagers were standing.That handsome woman was pulling the copper ring and knocking on the door of Ling Mansion.

Ling Changfeng and Xiaolan naturally didn't know what was going on in the palace, they walked along the way, and they were knocking on the door of Ling's mansion calmly at this moment.

"Young Master, what's going on, where are all the guards in the mansion?" Seeing that no one responded, Xiaolan turned and asked Ling Changfeng who was standing by.

But seeing Ling Changfeng with his hands behind his back, he smiled slightly: "Xiaolan, I was kicked out of the capital by my father. If there are still people who want to come to meet me, wouldn't they tell others that it was a lie?"

Xiaolan resentfully put down the door knocker in her hand, walked back to her young master, pouted her mouth and "hummed": "Young master, why didn't you say it earlier, causing me to knock on the door for so long in vain. What should I do now?"

"Wait, the servant who went out accidentally ran into the young master returning home, it should be all right." Ling Changfeng, with his hands behind his back, looked at the clear sky and said leisurely.

Xiaolan held Xiaoyu in her arms, and looked curiously at the street in front of the gate of the Ling Mansion, wanting to see who would bump into her by accident.

In less than a cup of tea, a hurried figure appeared on the street. The man ran to the gate of the mansion to take a look, with a surprised expression: "Master! Master Changfeng, alas, you are back. The master has been here for half a year. You are still angry, hurry up and kowtow to the master to apologize!"

This person is an old servant of Ling's mansion, called Huang Jian. I saw someone standing outside the mansion from afar, and when I got closer, I found that this person was actually Young Master Ling Changfeng who was kicked out of the mansion by the master half a year ago. .

"Butler Huang, hurry up and ask someone to open the door!"

"Yes, please come in quickly, young master."

Huang Jian cleared his throat and shouted, "Open the door quickly, the young master is back."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the mansion was opened from the inside, and two guards kneeled behind the door respectfully.

Ling Changfeng glanced at them lightly: "Get up quickly, I know you didn't mean to do this." After speaking, he strode towards the living room of Ling's residence.

Xiaolan knew that the young master and his father and son had important matters to talk about, so she didn't follow the young master.Instead, he hugged Xiaoyu, turned around and walked towards his own room.

Although she didn't tell Ling Changfeng, but after studying the parchment scroll for a long time from Luoyang to Chang'an, she found that she seemed to have a new understanding of it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I have to get acquainted with this comprehension carefully.Let this trip to Chang'an be more confident.

Ling Changfeng strode into the hall, only to see his father looking at him kindly. After saluting, he asked eagerly, "Father, is what you said in the letter true?"

Ling Yunyun nodded lightly and stroked his beard: "I said in the letter that day that someone wanted to take off my black gauze hat. You know this is also my father's wish."

"but."

"I know you are worried about my safety, but don't worry, I have my own measure. It's not that simple to want my life."

"Father, I learned from Sister Huayang in the morning that the emperor summoned me to Beijing this time to do an errand, which he said was related to the tribute ceremony."

Ling Yun nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and looked at Ling Changfeng: "Yes. I will discuss this matter with His Majesty."

Regardless of the surprise on Ling Changfeng's face, he slowly said: "Haven't you been investigating the truth about your brother? This tribute ceremony may be related to the case four years ago."

"Father, what do they have to do with each other?"

"Four years ago, during the tribute ceremony, your elder brother was wronged and died. Later, I secretly investigated, and one of the clues involved the countries of the Western Regions. But after the tribute ceremony ended, the countries of the Western Regions arranged people in Chang'an They also returned one after another, causing the clues to be broken."

The pain of losing a son has always been buried in Ling Yun's heart. Although he is an important minister in the court, he is also an old father.I didn't want Ling Changfeng to know before, so naturally I wanted to protect him.

Being able to tell Ling Changfeng what was hidden in his heart this time, he was obviously ready to give it a go.

"Father, according to your opinion, what am I going to do at the tribute ceremony this time?"

"My Majesty and I recommended you to be the commander of the tribute ceremony. You take this opportunity to search for a drug from the Western Regions called rosemary."

"Rosemary? What is that?"

"Do you remember that before your brother died, he signed a statement of guilt? As a father, I naturally didn't believe it, and then I secretly brought a person who is proficient in pharmacology to investigate, and found that your brother's food contained this poison!"

After Ling Changfeng listened, he nodded heavily, thinking carefully in his heart.
