Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

Chapter 135 The Road to Beijing

Waiting is undoubtedly an unbearable torment, at least for Li Zhen who is in a hurry to return to Beijing to participate in the distribution of peaches. This chapter has been handed in long ago, and the luggage has been packed long ago, just waiting for the old man to approve it. In other words, Li Zhen immediately planned to go straight to the capital, but he waited for several days but still had no confirmation. But he couldn't move because of the "rehabilitation" hat on his head, not only couldn't move, but he had to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick, how uncomfortable it was.After holding back for several days, Li Zhen, who was bored and bored, had to pretend that her health had improved slightly, forced her "sick body" to get out of bed, wandered in the back garden for a while, and played a few games of Go with Nalong. relieve boredom.

Li Zhen was troubled in her heart, and she played very ruthlessly. Originally, her chess strength was much higher than that of Nalong. This ruthlessness would have killed Nalong in a panic. If it wasn't for Li Zhen's desire to relieve his anger I'm afraid that Nalong would have slipped away with oil on his feet long ago, but at this moment, he was entangled by Li Zhen. Sweat has never stopped.

"Your Highness, the imperial decree has arrived." Just as Nalong was in agony, Yan Shiba rushed to the front and reported loudly.

Seeing that the "rescue soldiers" had arrived, Nalong hurriedly laughed, stretched out his hand to disturb the chessboard, and said with a smile: "The imperial decree has arrived, Your Highness should go to receive the decree."

Ha, this old man, he played this hand when he was about to lose.When Li Zhen heard the imperial decree arrived, she was overjoyed, but she didn't bother to care about Nalong's shameless behavior. She smiled, stood up, waved her hand, and motioned for a few guards around her to come up to support her, and didn't change her clothes, just like this He fell out of the back garden and rushed to the gate of Meiyuan to receive the order.

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was a young eunuch. He looked like he was dressed in the seventh rank, but his face was tight. He looked like someone who had just been promoted, so he saw Li Zhen's face. After exchanging pleasantries, the imperial decree was launched in a hurry, so that Li Zhen had no choice but to support her "sick body" and quickly fell to her knees.

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: King Li Zhen of Yue has worked hard for the country... He is allowed to return to Beijing to recuperate from his illness. In addition, King Li Zhen of Yue and King Li Min of Shu will return to Beijing to report on their duties. This is your honor!" The voice of the little eunuch was loud and clear, but However, there was a trace of nervousness, and he read it extremely fast, but on the whole, he still expressed his will clearly.

"My son, thank you Lord Long En." Li Zhen kowtowed meticulously, then managed to stand up, stretched out her hand to receive the imperial edict, and at the same time did not forget to quietly stuff the "red envelope" that she had prepared a long time ago into the little eunuch's pocket In his hand, he said very politely in his mouth: "There is a father-in-law, how dare you ask him how to call him?"

The little eunuch was obviously just a baby, and once he went out to announce the decree, he was already extremely nervous, but when he received the "thick" red envelope, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he stammered back: "Your Highness, you are welcome. Numai, Numaid's surname is Hu, only one single name is Song, a Luoyang surname, everyone calls Numaid Xiaosongzi..."

Well, this one is really too nervous, Li Zhen is just being polite, this one is good, she almost poured out the whole family tree, although Li Zhen listened with a smile, but her heart couldn't help but move, no one else, According to the little eunuch who called himself Hu Song, the changes in the palace were not small this time. A large number of eunuchs in the palace had replaced people. The old and skilled old eunuchs were all beaten by the old man to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to retire. , even Gao Yao, the internal servant, was not spared. Now the newly replaced internal servant is named Hu Youde, and he has some unclear relatives with this Hu Song who came to pass the decree. day.

Damn, what is the old man planning to do?Hu Youde?Well, this name is so familiar, ah, yes, it's him!Li Zhen thought for a while, and then remembered who the internal guard named Hu Youde was. It's been hard work, please take a rest inside, drink a few cups, and relieve fatigue first, Xiao Wang is injured, but he can't drink alcohol, so can we accompany him with tea?"

No one in the capital knows Li Zhen's boldness and generosity. Although Hu Song was promoted just now, he has heard a lot about Li Zhen's generosity on weekdays. Very moved, he hurriedly replied politely: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, the maidservant has also received an edict from the Shu Palace, so I won't bother Your Highness to recuperate."

Li Zhen really wanted to have a good chat with this little eunuch, and listen more to the details of the accidents in the palace, so she would not let Hu Song go, but seeing that Hu Song still had something to do, she smiled and said: "Forget it, father-in-law will go to work first, it's time to get back together, how about we come to Xiao Wang's place for a get-together?"

Seeing Li Zhen being so polite, Hu Song felt grateful, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful. The servants must come and chatter Your Highness." Speaking of this, looking around, he got close to Li Zhen's face mysteriously. Approaching her, she said softly: "Your Highness, the road is not smooth now, Your Highness should be more careful." As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen didn't give Li Zhen a chance to ask. The officers and soldiers of the Lin Army turned around and hurried to the Shu Palace.

Um?Uneasy?What are you talking about?Damn, what is this kid talking about?Li Zhen was stunned for a while, but she couldn't figure out the meaning of Hu Song's last sentence. It wasn't until Hu Song was far away that she turned around and entered the door full of doubts, but he didn't see it. There was a flash of strangeness in the eyes of the deputy envoy Hou Guoxiao who accompanied him to receive the order.

"'Rising Sun' is negligent! Such important information has not been reported in advance, damn it!" Li Zhen, who returned to the study, faced Nalong and Yan Shiba, and recounted the news from Hu Song. Afterwards, he resentfully put down a serious sentence, and he could not blame Li Zhen for being so angry--Li Zhen spent a lot of money on "Rising Sun", and the annual activity funds alone cost as much as [-] yuan, which is enough for It is worth the total income of two or three upper states for a year, but what happened? First, there was the betrayal of Tie Er and Tie Si, and then they are now blind to the changes in the palace. Li Zhen was angry and angry.

Yan Shiba and Nalong were the two managers of "Xu Sun" successively, and they naturally had unshirkable responsibility for "Xu Sun"'s dereliction of duty. Seeing that Li Zhen was angry at this time, they didn't dare to make any excuses. It was very embarrassing. After being silent for a while, Nalong said with a wry smile: "Your Highness calm down, the matter has come to this point, I dare not shirk responsibility, and we will discuss the rectification matter when we return to Beijing, but now that something has happened, the meaning But it’s inevitable.”

What Li Zhen was angry about was "Xu Sun"'s dereliction of duty, but she would not blame Nalong. After all, Nalong took over "Xu Sun" for only two months, and he was busy with Li Zhen all the time. How could he have the time to rectify it? "Rising Sun", this crime should not be borne by Nalong, but Yan Shiba is more responsible. Seeing Nalong apologize at this time, Li Zhen is not as good as herself, and swept her face with hatred The embarrassing Yan Shiba glanced at him, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the matter is over, and I don't want to mention it again, but after returning to Beijing, the 'Rising Sun' must be reorganized, and this one is essential. How it works will be determined after returning to Beijing. Well, the royal father suddenly changed the eunuchs in the palace on a large scale, and it seems that he is planning to do it. It is necessary to do it late, there is nothing to say, but Hu Youde was originally the master of the Chengqing Palace, and the fourth son lived in the Chengqing Palace when he was still in the palace. It is obvious that Hu Youde is a man. It's an obvious signal that the father, the emperor, and the fourth child are too urgent."

Li Shimin wanted to make Li Tai the crown prince, so Nalong naturally knew about it a long time ago. What he knew more clearly was that even though Li Zhen never said it, he hadn't completely given up until now. At this juncture, as a counselor, Nalong naturally couldn't just sit back and watch Li Zhen make mistakes, so he hurriedly said with a serious face: "Your Highness, although the Holy Majesty intends to set up the King of Wei, but it will definitely not happen, even Your Highness, there is absolutely no such possibility. The current plan, the only way to ensure His Highness's future plan is to ensure King Jin's entry into the East Palace, could it be that His Highness has forgotten about this?"

Trying to beat Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the two sons-in-law first, let that incompetent Li Zhi enter the East Palace, and then try to abolish Li Zhiben is the strategy that Li Zhen has already determined. In order to remind Li Zhen not to fantasize about reaching the sky in one step, although I didn't say it very clearly, I can't help but feel a little bit of blame in the truth, but Li Zhen is not angry, it's just a little embarrassing that the secret in my heart has been exposed, but what Nalong said It was all the truth, Li Zhen was naturally embarrassed but blamed Nalong, laughed at herself, shrugged her shoulders and said: "Hehe, what you said is very true, how could this king forget, hehe, that's right, that Hu Song How can you say that the road is not smooth?"

Li Zhen said in his mouth that he hadn't forgotten, but in fact he still didn't give up. Although Nalong knew it well, he didn't point it out. After all, as a counselor, he really couldn't accuse Li Zhen of going too far. Then, he thought for a while and said: "This journey back to Beijing is not peaceful. The root cause is not necessarily on the prince, but on the assassin who was captured alive. If someone's prediction is not bad, this Hu Song should belong to the king of Wei. People, these words should be entrusted by the king of Wei."

Hegan Chengji?That's right, it should be this kid, hey, the boss is definitely planning to silence him. Damn it, the fourth brother sent someone to pass on the message, but it doesn't seem to be a good intention. He wants Hegan Chengji more than the boss. The guy is even worse, hehe, I want to snatch someone from Lao Tzu, just wait and see.Li Zhen's heart moved, and she understood Nalong's meaning, she smiled and said: "This king has a good idea, pass on the order, get up early tomorrow morning, and rush back to the capital!"
