Xuannv Heart Sutra

Chapter 43 Prince Li Heng (1)

In the second year of Tianbao (743 A.D.) on the day of Gengzi in June, Li Longji listened to the advice of the eunuch Gao Lishi and announced that the loyal king Li Yu was the crown prince. In the seventh month of autumn, Li Longji held the "Certificate of Prince" in Xuanzheng Hall Ten days after the grand ceremony, Princess Webster was named the Crown Princess.In September of the second year, the prince changed his name to Shao, and in the first month of the third year of Tianbao (744 AD), he was renamed Heng again. Li Heng was later Tang Suzong.

In the process of establishing the crown prince, Prime Minister Li Linfu hoped that Li Longji would establish the birthday king Li Hao in vain. However, Li Longji's conspiracy for Concubine Wu Hui caused him to kill his three parents and children by mistake (this incident was known as the "three sons" in history). After the "injustice case of the common people", it was strictly forbidden for the princes to fight in private for the position of the crown prince. Therefore, Li Linfu calmed down like this. Come to think of it, this time Li Longji did not make Li Mao the crown prince, but planned to solve Li Heng secretly and force Li Longji to make Li Mao the crown prince again.

Ever since Li Heng was registered as the prince, he is not stupid. He has recruited many martial arts masters in the arena as his bodyguards. What he guards against is someone who kills him secretly. The king was not registered as a prince, but his concubine Yang Yuhuan was registered as a noble concubine by his father for a reason. He didn't want to report this tone, but was waiting for a chance to kill Li Heng. Only then can I get back everything I lost.

During the three months when Yang Yuhuan was registered as a noble concubine by Li Longji, Li Mao lived in seclusion and had nothing to do. He didn't even step into the palace, in order not to let Li Longji see the dissatisfaction in his heart. Embarrassed after arriving in Yang Yuhuan, the former wife, now she sees that she is going to call her a lady, whoever it is, I am afraid it will be unbearable.

After the prince Li Heng was registered as the prince, he still lived in the Zhongwang Mansion outside the palace, not the Prince's Mansion. From this point, it can be seen that Li Longji had no choice but to appoint Li Heng as the prince. Five hundred Zuo Longwu Army was sent to protect Li Heng's safety. This Zuo Longwu Army sounds scary, but its combat effectiveness is actually very low. Except for Chen Xuanli, there is no real master in the Longwu Army. After being announced by Li Longji to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, Gao Lishi's servant Li Fuguo also moved into the East Palace to serve Li Heng.

Li Heng knew that not only was it not a good thing for him to be made a prince, but it was a bad thing. The previous prince Li Ying was a lesson for him. Every prince was watching him, waiting for him, and waiting for his negligence. In order to save his own life and the position of the prince, he did not dare to have too many contacts with the ministers, but secretly recruited masters of the rivers and lakes to protect him. He was also waiting, but he and the other princes were waiting. He is waiting for Li Longji to pass the throne to him as soon as possible.After all, the crown prince is the one who has the best chance of ascending to the throne in the future. Therefore, in the past year or so, Li Heng has recruited quite a few experts in the world. When he is free, he seldom goes out and stays in the crown prince's mansion. Still very safe.

Wei Shi, the daughter of his father Wei Yuangui (the governor of Yanzhou), when Li Heng was registered as the prince by Li Longji, Wei Yuangui dispatched some of the masters he hired to Li Heng for Li Heng's safety. , Li Heng's is still very safe, but, as the prince, it is impossible for Li Heng to stay in the prince's mansion forever.Later, because his brother Li Jian was killed by Prime Minister Li Linfu, Li Heng was afraid that Li Linfu would point the finger at him, so he asked Li Longji to abolish Webster on the grounds of disharmony. Abandon.After Webster's abolition, Li Heng doted on Zhang Liangdi, and Zhang Liangdi was accepted as Liangdi (Zheng Sanpin) when Li Heng was registered as the crown prince.

On the day of January [-]th in the fifth year of Tianbao, Li Heng was ordered by Li Longji to inspect Luoyang, the former king's capital. Li Mao and Li Linfu, who knew the news, knew that this time was the best time to get rid of Li Heng. I don't know how long we have to wait, so the two of them mobilized a large number of experts to attack Li Heng in Luoyang, why not on the way?Of course there is a reason for this, the prince is out on patrol, so there are still fewer Longwu troops by his side?If the Longwu Army had too many casualties on the way and Li Heng fled back to Chang'an, there would be no chance. At the same time, Li Longji would also pursue the investigation. There are many opportunities for their people to attack. Moreover, Luoyang is far away from Chang'an. Even if Li Heng wanted to escape back to Luoyang, it would be very difficult. Li Heng died in Luoyang. It is really difficult to find them. on the two of them.

Li Heng himself knew that it would be dangerous to go to Luoyang, but he couldn't disobey orders, so he had to order the masters of Qi Prince's Mansion to lead a large number of Longwu troops to arrange everything before starting from Chang'an to Luoyang. Originally, Li Heng thought that the other party would He started on the way, but he was worried along the way, and there was no accident until half a month later when he arrived in Luoyang, which made Li Heng feel very puzzled. The task assigned by Longji will be fine.Li Heng and his party lived in the palace that Wu Zetian built in Luoyang back then. The Luoyang palace was very large, and it was not inferior to the palace in Chang'an. Of course, the guarding situation in the palace must be much worse than that in the palace.

On January 28th, Li Heng left the palace with his men and began to inspect Luoyang. Perhaps, it was Li Heng's fault. He originally planned to return to the palace before dark, but it snowed heavily. There were also heavy raindrops, and a thick layer of snow quickly piled up on the ground, making it impossible for cars and horses to walk. As a result, Li Heng and his party were blocked on the way back to the palace in the east of the city, and they had no choice but to stay in a house. Resting in the restaurant named Fugui Inn, the Fugui Inn was also cleaned up by the Longwu Army once, and most of the irrelevant people were driven out.

The inn where Nangong Xianger and Yao Yao stayed in Luoyang happened to be also called the Fugui Inn. After waiting for several days without getting any news about Li Wei, the fire between Nangong Xianger and Yao Yao was of course a bit big, and it happened that Long Wu Jun's people came across this bad luck, and went to prepare to drive Nangong Xiang'er and Yao Yao out of the Fugui Inn, but they didn't expect those Long Wujun to run away after being beaten by the second daughter a few times. Li Heng knew about it afterwards, and didn't say anything. He just told Long Wujun not to mess with the second daughter as much as possible. Now that he is out, Li Heng feels that he still doesn't need to make trouble, especially when the other party is two girls with strong martial arts skills. Having dealt with people before, he knew that a woman who can come out to venture into the rivers and lakes can't do it without some powerful means. He just sent two masters to monitor all the actions of the second woman, and if there is anything wrong, they will kill her.Therefore, after Nangong Xianger and Yao Yao beat up those unlucky Longwu soldiers, no one came to disturb them. Along the way, they both lived in the same room, and Nangong Xianger also took Xuan Yao Yao was taught the inner strength formulas and sword moves of women's sect. Yao Yao is smart and can often learn by analogy. She learned quickly. After dinner, the two daughters sat on the bed to practice.

The Fugui Inn, which had always been peaceful, suddenly became lively at three or four o'clock in the morning. A group of masters ran in from nowhere and killed everyone they saw. The dead under the knife.Fortunately, Li Heng brought a lot of masters to Luoyang this time, most of them rushed up when they saw the assassins, and the others tightly protected Li Heng in the middle. Afterwards, four black-clothed masked men came from the outside. Those four men had high martial arts skills. Li Heng's masters died in the hands of the four men without a few moves. Watching his subordinates die one by one, Li Heng Cold sweat broke out on Hum's head.

"His Royal Highness, the four of us who are protecting you should withdraw as soon as possible. If we don't withdraw, it will be too late." The master Manhua Tianyu Shaofu hired by Li Heng saw that his style was wrong, and advised Li Heng to leave here first.

"Let's withdraw!" Li Heng himself knew that if he stayed, his life might be lost.

"The three of you take His Royal Highness and withdraw first, and I will stop." Shao Fu stretched out his hand and shot out a hidden weapon, and shot back several killers who rushed over. After five or six minutes, batch after batch of killers were stopped. Seeing that Li Heng had already evacuated, Shao Fu didn't stay any longer, and chased in the direction where Li Heng and the others were evacuating, but they still hadn't left. How far away, I saw Li Heng and the three masters being tightly surrounded by four men in black. The situation was very dangerous, and it just so happened that the place where they fought happened to be in the room of Nangong Xianger and Yao Yao. Besides, originally, the two girls didn't intend to meddle in their own business, but who would have thought that when these masters fought, the destructive power would of course be high. In a short time, the room where the two of them lived was demolished.
