Chapter 090

Xiao Shisanlang hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Okay. Xiao will do his best. Please write the letter quickly, and Xiao will immediately sneak into the East Palace and deliver the letter for you."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Would you like to report a letter to my lord's mansion..." Xiao Shisanlang asked again gently.That means it's obvious, you escaped safely, and it's time to report to your family that you're safe, so that your family members don't worry about anxiety.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I don't have time... I can't show my face for the time being, because it will make the situation more chaotic, and I can do things in secret."

After a pause, Zhang Xuan apologized again, "Brother Xiao, this matter is of great importance, and it also involves the palace, I cannot tell Brother Xiao clearly, please forgive me for everything."

Xiao Shisanlang smiled calmly, "A certain family understands that adults don't need to explain. A certain family also believes that adults are upright people, and they will not let Xiao do such sneaky things."

"That's it, Brother Xiao." Without hesitation, Zhang Xuan immediately went into the room to write a letter, and handed it to Shisanlang Xiao.

There was a commotion in the city of Chang'an. The imperial city must be heavily guarded at this moment, making it even more difficult to get in and out of the imperial city.

But Zhang Xuan understood that there must be too many ways to sneak into the East Palace, like Xiao Shisanlang, a knight-errant who is so high and high that he is almost legendary.Those palace guards and Imperial Forest Army were almost useless to him.

After Xiao Shisanlang left, Zhang Xuan sat silently in the living room of the small courtyard where Xiao Shisanlang and Li Susu lived, sorting out his slightly messy mood.

Although some information has not been known to him, but through all kinds of clues, he has already judged a basic idea: King Rong Li Wan has coveted the crown prince for many years, and he has also made a lot of arrangements calmly, such as making friends with feudal towns and court ministers, Win the support of the royal family and so on.

But in fact, because he led the Longyou Jiedu envoy from afar and opened the Fuyi Tong Sansi, he not only gained the emperor's trust, but also had a high prestige in the court, and there were many voices supporting his ascension to the throne.

If it is said that Li Wan was still secretly planning and waiting for an opportunity to come, then after Zhang Xuan left the East Palace, the change of Li Heng in the East Palace and his move to the front gave Li Wan a deep sense of crisis.Li Heng's sudden rise aroused his vigilance and apprehension, and at the same time pushed forward his original calm plan.

After all, if the prince Li Heng really gained a firm foothold, established the prestige of a prince of a country, and cultivated his own power, it would be too difficult for him to seize the heir.Therefore, Li Wan had to mobilize ahead of time—and it was undoubtedly such an opportunity for the ten feudal towns to go to Beijing to report on their duties.

Li Wan believed that as long as the energies he secretly promoted surged together, the Tang court might be turned upside down. Even though the emperor was unwilling to make him the crown prince, in order to stabilize the situation, he had to abolish Li Heng and make himself the crown prince. Prince of the Eastern Palace.

Li Wan is quite confident about this.Because the power he can mobilize at present cannot be underestimated - there are Gao Xianzhi and Pei Dunfu outside, Xue Dewang and others are inside, and most of the royal family support him. With all these things, how dare the emperor neglect?

The only thing that makes Li Wan regret is that although he has repeatedly made promises and bribed him heavily, Yang Guozhong still hasn't taken the bait, and has not yet agreed to join the camp of King Rong's lineage.

The situation is not far from what Zhang Xuan judged, not far from it.

The picture is poor.It has come to the critical moment when real swords and guns are used to fight, either you die or I die.

Zhang Xuan frowned, and his thoughts flashed: Li Wan, as a time traveler and a former historian, is quite familiar with him.He is the sixth son of Li Longji, who is very heroic, talented and accomplished.According to the original process of history, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the conquest army sent by the Tang court was first led by Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi as the deputy commander.It can be seen from this that this Li Wan is by no means an idler.

Obviously, if there was no Zhang Xuan, Li Heng would basically die if he wanted to fight Li Wan.The difference in personal ability is nothing, the key is that Li Wan's power and prestige are incomparable to Li Heng.

And Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of a key question: In the original historical process, there was no struggle for the heir apparent between King Rong Li Wan and Prince Li Heng, but now it happened, this... should be because of his time travel, gradually changed Some local historical process, right?
A butterfly flapping its wings in South America can create a storm all over the world, let alone Zhang Xuan, a traveler who has already been involved in the core power struggle of the Tang Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: So the culprit of everything turned out to be himself!
***********************************************
A few days ago, the East Palace was also cheered and encouraged for Prince Li Hengyao to lead the Jiannan Road Jiedu envoy, and there was a lot of joy.But today, it is shrouded in dark clouds, gloomy and gloomy.

First of all, Zhang Liangdi violated the rules and pretended to use the imperial concubine's guard of honor, and was impeached by the courtiers, which aroused the emperor's fury, and publicly reprimanded the prince, even revealing his intention to abolish the prince.

Secondly, Zhang Xuan, the current "spiritual leader" of the East Palace, was suddenly assassinated on the way into the palace, the carriage was burned, and his life and death were unknown.

Finally, news came out from the palace just now that many courtiers, vassals and members of the royal family jointly wrote a letter requesting the emperor to abolish the crown prince and appoint Rong Wang Li Wan as the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty.This news had already spread in the palace, and it naturally spread to the East Palace.

Being reprimanded by the emperor in the court hall, Li Heng was terrified in his heart, and then heard the news that Zhang Xuan's life and death were uncertain, and his fear rose to an extreme.

He is not a fool, he naturally knows that Rong Wang Li Wan's menacing attack is not accidental, and Zhang Xuan's unexpected encounter is probably part of his plan to attack him.

Back in the East Palace, Li Heng sat with a gloomy face behind the large sandalwood table in the main hall, looking indifferently at a group of his subordinates, seeing the dejection and panic on everyone's faces, the despair in his heart became heavier and heavier.

"This woman, this hateful woman..." The sense of despair was so heavy that he couldn't get rid of it, and the anger rose again.Li Heng glared angrily at Zhang Liangdi who was kneeling by his side and did not dare to look up at him. He was obviously furious, but he couldn't say a word.

Even if Zhang Liangdi is called a bloody sprinkler, what's the use of it now?The matter has already happened, and Zhang Liangdi did a very subtle thing at a delicate moment, which immediately detonated a long-planned political storm.

Li Heng couldn't believe it, this woman always seemed to be respectful and polite, she was not the kind of brainless person, how could she suddenly do such a thing behind her back?When I went back to my natal family, I even borrowed the guard of honor from the Concubine Li to show off—by an unintentional mistake, it happened to hit the muzzle of a gun.

Zhang Liangdi was naturally remorseful and frightened.

It was definitely an accident, an unintentional mistake, if it was normal, it would have passed by like this.Following the incident of the crown prince, she, the quasi-princess concubine who is not a crown concubine, gradually became active in her mind. Although she was not too complacent, she straightened her waist in front of the concubines in the harem.

It also deserves something.She went to sit with Concubine Li for a while in the morning. Among Li Longji's many concubines, Zhang Liangdi had a good relationship with Concubine Li, and could even be said to be as close as a sister.Hearing that she was leaving the palace to return to her mother's house in the afternoon, Concubine Li offered to lend her a guard of honor, and Zhang Liangdi also agreed after being dazed for a while.

Of course, subconsciously, there is also the intention of going back to her mother's house to show off.

……

……

Li Heng was sitting helplessly, when suddenly the chief eunuch Yu Chaoen rushed in, knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Your Highness, a secret letter was found in the palace..."

Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "Submit it."

Yu Chaoen didn't dare to neglect, and presented it in a hurry.

Li Heng glanced at the cover of the secret letter, his eyes immediately lit up and widened.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, personally." He recognized Zhang Xuan's delicate and straight handwriting, and it was clearly Zhang Xuan's handwriting.

Li Heng tore open the letter and read it hastily, a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he collected himself and waved his hand calmly, "You should step back, I am tired and need to rest."

"Retire too." Li Heng's last words were addressed to Zhang Liangdi.

Zhang Liangdi was ashamed and remorseful, seeing the prince's indifferent attitude, she couldn't help feeling sad and bitter, and she burst into tears.She cried and kowtowed to the ground, "Your Highness, this concubine's unintentional mistake, implicating His Highness, is really a crime worthy of death! This concubine..."

"Okay, don't cry anymore, this is enough for me to be upset." Li Heng wanted to reprimand a few words, thinking about the past love, but now he also saw that Zhang Liangdi was also in a daze for a while, but was just used by the wicked That's all, so the voice slowed down a bit, "You step back first, let Ben Gong think of a way to solve it, how about it?"

"The concubine resigns." Zhang Liangdi wept and hid her face and retreated.

Looking at the back of Zhang Liangdi going away, Li Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and slammed the table angrily, "Li Wan, you deceived me too much!"

*************************************
Li Susu walked in softly, holding a pot of hot tea in his hand.She walked over and sat across from Zhang Xuan's desk, picked the brazier next to it to make the flames more intense, then poured Zhang Xuan a cup of hot tea, and said with a soft smile, "My lord, please have a cup of hot tea. Drive away the cold."

"Thank you. Miss Su Su, Zhang Xuan is ashamed to disturb you this time." Zhang Xuan nodded his thanks.

"My lord, what's the point? Su Su has received a great favor from your lord, even if you are smashed to pieces, it's hard to repay it. Please use it, lord. You can rest assured that Shisanlang is in charge, he will turn around soon." Li Susu respectfully smiled.

"That's right, brother Xiao's martial arts is as strong as a sword fairy coming and going without a trace, it's amazing. Brother Xiao rescued a certain person today, and he was like flying through the clouds. It's really unforgettable for a lifetime."

"Yes. By the way, Miss Susu, Lingmei is in the Jiaofang Division, right? How about this, stay busy for a while, and I must find a way to rescue Lingmei and let you sisters reunite."

Li Susu was overjoyed, left the teacup and teapot behind, knelt down on the ground and wept with joy, "Susu thanked you sir for my sister-in-law."

"Hey, Miss Susu, don't be so polite to me. If you want to say thank you, it should be me... What can be more important than the grace of saving life? Brother Xiao and Miss Susu treat Zhang like this , Zhang is really ashamed."

"If Ms. Su Su doesn't dislike it——Zhang is willing to be called brothers and sisters, and Ms. Su Su is Zhang's sister-in-law." Just as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he heard a clear echo from outside the door, "Although your lord is a scholar , but he has righteousness in his heart, he is righteous and generous, and his pride is not inferior to the heroes of the world. It is Xiao's fortune to be able to become a brother with an adult. It's just Xiao, a prodigal son, how can he climb up to an adult?"

While speaking, the door of the living room opened with a creak, and Xiao Shisanlang drifted away, bringing in a gust of cool wind.

Zhang Xuan was both surprised and delighted to see how fast he was going back and forth.He immediately got up and smiled loudly, "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like shooting stars—Brother Xiao is a strange person in this world, he is beyond the world of mortals, I am afraid that Brother Xiao will look down on me worldly people."

Xiao Shisanlang laughed, staring deeply at Zhang Xuan, seeing the other party's clear and sincere eyes, he couldn't help but nodded, "Thanks to you, Xiao has climbed so high—"

Xiao Shisanlang has a bold disposition, and is also a knight-errant who is proud of the world. He has always acted rashly, and he can make friends with those who value him, and he can repay him even if it is just a one-sided relationship; and Zhang Xuan is not the kind of procrastinating person , the two looked at each other and laughed, each bowed to salute, and immediately called them brothers.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Xuan bowed to Li Susu.

Li Susu had a pretty face, how dare she accept Zhang Xuan's great gift, she hastily avoided it, and said shamefully, "Don't do that, Su'er dare not do it."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Zizhan is a certain brother, and you, Su Er, are his sister-in-law." Xiao Shisanlang laughed loudly.

"Exactly, sister-in-law, we will be a family in the future. If sister-in-law wants to see each other like this again, Zhang Xuan will be at a loss." Zhang Xuan also said with a smile.

Li Susu hesitated for a moment, blushed and gave Zhang Xuan a blessing, "So, Su'er will be daring."

"Su Er, buy wine, wait for me to drink three big whites with my brother!" Xiao Shisanlang laughed and grabbed Zhang Xuan's arm, "Brother's business, brother has done it for you, this is what the prince gave to brother Reply. A certain person put the letter in his palace and watched the eunuch hand over the letter to him before fleeing."

"After he retreated from the crowd, a certain person sneaked into his palace again and met with him. Speaking of which, the prince was a bit courageous... wrote a letter on the spot and handed it over to a certain family."

As he spoke, Xiao Shisanlang flicked his finger, and a sealed letter flew out from his other cuff, and landed lightly on the table in front of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately opened the letter in front of Xiao Shisanlang, glanced at it, and saw that there were only a few words on the letter paper: "I will leave the palace immediately to meet with you."

The handwriting was scribbled and pierced through the back of the paper, which showed the confusion and anxiety of Prince Li Heng at the moment.

Zhang Xuan sighed, and bowed to Xiao Shisanlang, "I'm bothering you about this matter. I feel ashamed to involve my brother in this kind of power struggle."

Xiao Shisanlang supported him, and smiled calmly, "You and my brother, don't do this."
