For a long time afterward, the forces in Penglai City and even the entire Shandong region went through a contest that did not seem to have changed much, but in fact there was a dark tide surging, and the Daji Kingdom did not make any aggression during this period of time, as He Linwan had expected.

Before He Guangzong left Shandong, He Guanglie talked to He Guangzong again about family life, complained about some bitterness, and the two brothers drank bitterly for one night. In the end, I don't know if it was because Mama Duan was missing the demon in front of the old lady or what work He Guangzong did to help He Guanglie after he went back, the old lady of the He family did not send anyone to urge the Wei family to return to Beijing.

The next days in Penglai City were unexpectedly calm and peaceful.

He Guanglie successfully took over Dengzhou Wei, although at first his subordinate commander Gongsun Xian never forgot to contradict him. The prestige of the Gongsun family in the army was beyond the reach of ordinary people, so that He Guanglie's life was a little difficult. In addition, there is a deputy commander Li Pengfei who is older than him in the middle.

However, seeing that He Guanglie gradually fell behind in the contest with Gongsun Xian, Li Pengfei, who had been watching coldly, suddenly began to show favor to He Guanglie, and helped him deal with Gongsun Xian openly and secretly.

And Wei slowly broke into the social circle of the military generals and wives in Penglai City, she has a gentle and generous personality, and she doesn't like to be competitive, so it is easy to gain the favor of others.

In addition to reading and reading with Aunt Ying, He Linwan also practiced martial arts with his father every day. It's just that Wei found that his daughter's personality is becoming more and more calm. This made her a little worried, she didn't know that this was actually a change that He Linwan deliberately and slowly made.

But the most surprising thing is Xiaohuzi, in terms of qualifications, Xiaohuzi may not be as good as He Linwan, but he has a persistent and serious ruthlessness in his bones, this kind of energy makes him who doesn't like to read hard, he didn't fall behind the reading task assigned to him by He Linwan, and this quality also makes him achieve enough results to surprise everyone when he is practicing martial arts.

His Royal Highness the Five Princes who came to Shandong also mixed well in the military camp, and was very popular with the soldiers, although the Five Princes had not been on the battlefield, but he talked about the art of war and trained the soldiers It was also reasonable, well-founded, and presentable, and his subordinate Yan Hui led the team to exterminate several thieves' dens in Shandong. Gathered some people's hearts. In the midst of this. Xue Xingyi, who was clearly the county commander of Penglai County and was actually the adviser of the five princes, played a key role.

Xue Xingyi was not idle after coming to Penglai County, and he adjusted and improved some administrative measures within the scope of his ability, although some of them were still in the name of the Big Buddha of the Five Princes. But I have to say that he did do some things that benefit the country and the people. At the same time, it also won some popular hearts for the five princes.

Time just flew by. More than four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Beijing, winter.

In the early morning, Emperor Li Xun sat on the throne with a cold face. There was a haze in his eyes that seemed to burst out at any time. The courtiers in the hall knelt on the ground, all of them bent down and bowed their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads, especially the two kneeling in the middle, trembling in two streams, their faces were pale, as if they would faint at any time.

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the hall, and I don't know which minister in the hall couldn't hold back a sneeze because of the wind blowing all morning, and this sudden sneeze seemed to save the ministers from some kind of fatal crisis, so that they followed this sneeze and secretly relieved the breath on their mouths that had been held all morning.

It's a pity that this breath didn't last long, and the voice of Emperor Li Xun gritted his teeth echoed in the main hall: "On my birthday, just after paying tribute to my ancestors, half of the Fengxian Hall was suddenly burned by thunder and fire.

All the ministers quietly held back the breath they had just exhaled.

The emperor's birthday to commemorate the ancestors is a major event in the current dynasty, generally speaking, the emperor recites all the things he has done this year in front of his ancestors, and lets the ancestors judge and judge their own mistakes. Therefore, before the memorial service, the celestial supervisor must carefully observe the celestial phenomena, so as not to cause some bad phenomena to occur, which is reminiscent of the dissatisfaction of the ancestors with the emperor's actions. In the previous dynasty, there was an emperor who was ousted from the throne by his ministers because of a drought in the Gyeonggi region that killed many people shortly after the sacrifice.

Therefore, on the night when Li Xun finished sacrificing his ancestors, the Fengxian Hall where the ancestral tablets were enshrined was burned by thunder and fire, which was definitely a striking event, and I don't know what kind of gossip would be led outside.

Li Xun was furious, and ordered: "Pull out the two useless wine bags and rice bags of Si Tianjian and cut them down!"

A person kneeling below shouted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty! We have calculated several times that the weather was very good yesterday, and there should be no thunder and fire." ”

Li Xun laughed angrily, looked at the kneeling person and said word by word: "Oh? So it's really because the ancestors are dissatisfied with what I did, and they sent a warning?"

The person who had just spoken collapsed to the ground in fright, and the man beside him was more clever, and when he saw that the guards were really going to drag them down for execution, he was so frightened that he crawled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not our intention! Although we are also involved in the measurement of celestial phenomena, we are also based on some data observed by the people below, will it ...... Will there be people who have ill intentions and deliberately mislead their ministers?"

Li Xun looked at him and asked casually, "Oh, who are the ill-intentioned people you are referring to?"

Seeing that there was room to turn around, the speaker avoided the guards in front of the palace, straightened up and shouted, "Your Majesty, this man ...... This person is Li Heng, the king of Kangjun!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace looked at each other.

Li Xun's face turned cold: "King Kangjun is not a person from Si Tianjian, you are not small, you dare to bully the king in public." ”

The man was relieved, and his speech became flexible: "Your Majesty, King Kangjun is indeed not from our Si Tianjian, but he has learned some astrological phenomena from Mr. Qiu, and has always come to Si Tianjian to borrow Si Tianjian's measuring instruments recently. Before your birthday, Your Majesty, King Kangjun came to Si Tianjian again, because of his noble status and arrogant temper, we didn't dare to drive him away for fear of offending him. I don't want him to mess up some of our observations without knowing the severity, although the people below also made timely remedies after that, but in the end something went wrong. As for King Kangjun, whether he was unintentional or intentional at that time, he was afraid that only he knew about it. ”

The emperor did not speak after hearing this, and his expression was a little unpredictable.

The man below cried and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly, and wait for a clean slate!"

Li Xun looked at the waiter who was waiting on the side: "Li Heng, the king of Xuankang County, goes to the palace." ”

When Li Heng was brought in, he didn't know that he was being given a handful of yin behind his back, he strode into the hall with his hands behind his back, because it was the first time to go to the morning court, and he couldn't help but greet everyone while looking around.

"Adults are early!Yo! Master Li, what's wrong with your face? Is the grape trellis at home falling down or scratched by a cat?" Lord Li, who had just been accidentally injured by a fight between his wife and concubine yesterday, blew his beard and turned his back and ignored him, but he was secretly cursing in his heart.

Li Heng didn't care that he was disliked, he jumped to the side of the old minister who was a little older and had a white beard in the previous grade, raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the person, with a good posture of the brothers, and whispered: "Old Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time! How about we continue to fight when the weather is warm next year? You old boy won a cricket from me last time, and the king of crickets hid in the mansion and refused to come out, and lied to me that he was sick and dying! Look at you like this, you will definitely be able to survive for three or five years!"

Li Xun sat on the top and watched coldly, but he didn't stop Li Heng from messing around, and the ministers in the hall were also watching their noses and noses, and no one said a word.

Li Heng, who had extremely thick nerves, walked all the way to the front of the emperor and didn't realize that something was wrong, he grinned at the emperor, and then saluted: "Say hello to Your Majesty!"

Li Xun bowed lightly, and after Li Heng got up, he asked, "Li Heng, do you recognize these two people kneeling beside you?"

Li Heng bent down and looked at the two of them carefully, then straightened up with a look of surprise and said, "This is Master Yi and Master He of Si Tianjian?" What's wrong with them?"

Li Xun asked again: "A few days ago, you often appeared in Si Tianjian?"

Li Heng, who didn't know the situation, nodded ignorantly: "Ah!"

Lord He, an official of Si Tianjian who was kneeling on the ground, saw the opportunity to interject and asked, "King Kangjun, did you mess up the calculation data of our Qin Tianjian the day before yesterday?"

Li Heng blinked: "Yes, but it's ......"

The Lord He immediately cried out, "Your Majesty! Look, King Kangjun himself has admitted it. ”

Li Heng finally sensed that something was wrong, and immediately shook his head: "What did I admit? Don't talk nonsense! I didn't admit anything!"

Master He said angrily: "Because you messed up the calculation data of our Si Tianjian, which caused our Si Tianjian to not correctly predict last night's thunder and fire......"

Li Heng interrupted Lord He's words with a look of disbelief: "What? How could there be thunder fire last night? Did you calculate with your brain or with your ass? Someone said before that I don't know how to learn, but I didn't expect that you officials don't know how to learn anything than Master!"

Lord He immediately looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty-"

Li Xun looked at Li Heng expressionlessly, and asked softly, "Oh, there was no thunder and fire yesterday, is this the result you calculated or Mr. Qiu?"

Li Heng was alert, and when he heard this, he was rarely smart, and immediately said: "Of course I calculated it! Mr. is so busy, where can he have time to calculate these trivialities!"

Li Xun carefully savored Li Heng's words, but his tone couldn't hear the anger: "Trivial?

The atmosphere in the main hall froze.

Happy Lantern Festival to everyone! ^_^

Time passed with a whoosh, and the boys you love are coming out~.
