Chapter 45: Summer is coming

Huang Yang asked, "But I still don't understand why Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition in person." ”

"In the eyes of the world, in the eyes of the courtiers, in the eyes of you and Qingshan, there must be a lot of hidden ideas [&Pingnan&&&, the most worthy reading station for book lovers!], many people are guessing, but in fact, it is only because of a very simple reason. ”

The emperor laughed and said: "Lian has been the emperor for more than ten years, he has lived in Chang'an City for more than ten years, and he has missed too many scenery in the world. ”

Huang Yang laughed when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly, 1S thought that His Majesty was indeed such a person, so when he was about to continue to ask about something, he heard footsteps behind him.

The queen mother led a little boy out of the balcony, whispering something from time to time, and when her eyes fell on the little boy, she looked so gentle and loving.

His Majesty the Emperor greeted him.

The little boy was wearing bright yellow clothes, inherited the advantages of his parents, and looked handsome, but his expression was a little timid, this was not inheriting his parents' temperament, but was affected by his parents' temperament, but looking at the childish smile on his face, it can be seen that he likes to be with his parents very much.

Huang Yang looked at the happy family of three, smiled slightly, looked out of the city tower, only to see the sunset on the wasteland, the canyon was dark, but the chill in the wind was no longer biting, it seemed that summer was coming.

Chang'an City, in a partial hall of the Imperial Palace.

Li Yu looked at the young man who was writing with a brush, and his expression looked so gentle, loving, and satisfied.

Li Huiyuan, the former young prince, has entered his own youth stage, and compared with previous years, he looks a little thinner, more and more handsome, and there is a heroic and calm air between his eyebrows and eyes.

Li Huiyuan has become more silent than before in the past two years, and seems to have a lot more thoughts, Li Zha thinks that this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, she feels very good, and feels that she is finally worthy of her dead mother.

At this moment, she is no longer Her Royal Highness, the most powerful princess of the Tang Dynasty, but just an older sister.

His Majesty the Emperor drove the wasteland in person, she was ordered to supervise the country, and it seemed that she should be very busy in the main hall to deal with the twists and turns, but in fact, it was not, the Tang Empire had its own rules, and most of the things could be decided by the prime minister and the courtiers of various ministries, and she played more of a role as a watchdog and occasionally acted as a ruling palace.

Li Zha, knowing very well that the more times like this, the more calm she should be, so she calmly carried out the mission of supervising the country, and was praised by many ministers in the court, and most of the rest of the time she spent communicating with the ministers seemingly casually, and some other things.

"Sister, what do you think of my writing?"

Li Huiyuan held up the freshly written banner in front of Li Zha, and said proudly: "The teachers of the imperial school all say that I write well, and my father must like it." ”

Li Yu praised two sentences, then looked at him and said: "Even if my father likes calligraphy, you should not pass on the post road, now that the war on the front line is about to begin, beware of affecting the mail route." ”

"What kind of effort can be spent on a piece of paper?" Li Huiyuan said indifferently: "I want to open the teleportation array in the palace to send a letter to my father, and no one will agree."

"Father likes calligraphy, but he cares more about the future of the Tang Dynasty, how important is the teleportation array, and it costs a lot to open it, how can I let you mess around?"

Li Yu said in a slightly cold voice, and then he didn't know what to think of, his expression was a little gloomy, and he said softly: "You see that Ning Que was favored by his father a lot at the beginning, and now he is still an outcast of the country. ”

Li Huiyuan said: "We are the children of our father, how can Ning Que compare with us?"

Li Zha didn't answer this sentence, looked at his younger brother and said extremely sternly: "Now that Ning Que can't count on it, it is inconvenient for the academy to stand up and support us, it seems that the situation is good now, you and I have to be more and more cautious." ”

Li Huiyuan saw that her expression was serious, and his heart was slightly cold, so he hurriedly responded, but there was obviously a look of disapproval in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, which seemed to show that he had confidence that Li Yu had never had.

"I'm going to go to the south gate to watch the national teacher. ,、He said。

Li Zha's brows frowned slightly, she couldn't understand why the national teacher had obviously befriended the queen over the years, why did she start to support her sister and brother from [&Pingnan&&&, the most worthy reading station for book friends!] More than a year ago, Ning Que sent an envoy to Langke Temple to pass through Qinghe County, but he began to support his sister and brother.

Li Qingshan, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, can affect at least half of the tendencies of the South Gate View and the Tianshu Office, no matter how you look at it, the change in his attitude is excellent news for Li Yu's sisters and brothers.

She said: "The national teacher is now seriously ill and bedridden, and it is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so you should go and see more." ”

In the seventeenth year of the Apocalypse, there were constant funerals in Chang'an City, and it was difficult to withdraw the white flags, and many veterans of the three dynasties and important ministers in the old days could not resist the invasion of time and bid farewell to the world. Xu Shi, the general of Zhenguo, and Li Qingshan, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, also suffered from serious illnesses, which made many people feel uneasy.

"I have cultivated all my life, and I have not made much progress in other aspects, and I can be a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty. The only thing I can be proud of is the chessboard deduction. ”

The dark floor of the South Gate Guandao Hall was covered with thick bedding, Li Qingshan was lying in the soft quilt, looking at the bright scene of late spring outside the window, with a faint smile on his face, and said to He Mingchi next to the window:

"I've always been a little dissatisfied with the Heavenly Oracle Divine Seat, and even think that Elder Qishan is nothing more than that, until now I understand that the will of heaven is unpredictable, the wisdom of those two is far above me, much clearer than I can see, I forcibly use the chessboard to deduce the future, hemoptysis is getting denser, the body is getting weaker, the favor of Haotian God is fading, and it is normal for me to die early. ”

He Mingchi showed a slight expression, but he didn't know what to say.

His Majesty the Emperor drove the expedition in person and went deep into the wasteland, it stands to reason that Li Qingshan, as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, of course had to accompany him in front of the emperor, but because he was seriously ill, he stayed in Chang'an, and he was replaced by the imperial brother Master Huangyang.

"I'm not worried about my own life and death, and the boxwood monk is by Your Majesty's side, and there are so many strong people in the army, so I'm not worried about Your Majesty's safety, I'm worried about other things. ”

The smile on Li Qingshan's face gradually faded, his expression looked a little tired, and he said: "Your Majesty's personal expedition this time actually brought the queen mother and Xiaoliu to Helan City, but left Her Royal Highness the princess in Chang'an City to supervise the country, and many ministers and even the people of Chang'an thought that Your Majesty was passing on the throne to Li Huiyuan through this move. ”

After a pause, he continued: "However, who knows Your Majesty better than me? Your Majesty is not the kind of heroic king who rules the country by so-called strategic means, Your Majesty is a real heroic figure, with heroic spirit, if he sets his mind on who he wants to pass on the throne to, he will definitely make a clear announcement to the world, and he will never tempt, let alone use this kind of means of blowing the wind, because this method is too petty, and he is unwilling and disdainful to use it. ”

He Mingchi's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what are you worried about?"

Li Qingshan looked at the dense and fat green leaves outside the window, thinking about the upcoming summer, and said slowly: "I'm worried that this is an empty joy", and it is often easy to have problems after empty joy. ”

At this time, there was a voice outside the Dao Hall, He Mingchi got up and went forward, and after a while, he walked into the Dao Hall with the prince Li Huiyuan, and said in a harmonious voice: "Master, the prince has come to see you." ”

Li Qingshan looked at Li Huiyuan's face, which was more and more like His Majesty, and his head was slightly warm.

Li Huiyuan returned to the palace after visiting, He Mingchi received the order of the master to enter the palace to do things, so he took a sedan chair with him, and the south gate view was very close to the palace, and the two of them could not talk for a long time.

The sedan chair was very dark, Li Hui's round and handsome eyebrows and eyes were a little blurry, he looked at He Mingxiao, who was sitting silently opposite, and said after a moment of silence: "Mr. He once told me about that thing the year before last, and then I asked people to check for a long time, but I didn't find any evidence. ”

He Mingchi smiled silently, but still looked at Li Hunyuan's eyes, looking at his expression not because he didn't want to discuss this issue, but just wanted to hear Li Hunyuan say more clearly.

The slightly annoyed emotion in Li Huiyuan's eyes disappeared for a moment, and he asked, "Niangniang...... Is it really the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect back then?"

He Mingchi wanted to listen to this direct and clear sentence, nodded and said: "Although there is no evidence, but the family teacher knows about this matter, the academy should also know, and can always find proof, I know what His Highness is thinking, Nanmen Guan has been worshiping Haotian for generations, and he doesn't want the son of the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect to become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Huiyuan's expression suddenly relaxed when he heard this, his eyes showed a look of joy and excitement, and he rubbed it a little nervously, and said helplessly with some annoyance: "Why does the national teacher never reveal the true identity of the demon girl?"

"Because His Majesty will not agree. ”

He Mingchi looked at him and said calmly: "Your Highness, please remember that no matter how powerful a weapon is, it can only be effective at the right moment, so please act as if you don't know about this matter at all, and don't tell anyone, including Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Li Huiyuan frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but at this time, the imperial city had arrived.

He Mingchi followed him into the palace, first went to see Li Zha, I don't know what to say, after leaving the palace, he walked to a certain place in the palace by himself, he often entered the palace with the national teacher over the years, and he could come and go at will, and some eunuchs and palace maids knew that this South Gate Guandao official was very respected by Her Royal Highness the princess and the prince, where would anyone stop him.

After a while, he walked to a small building in the depths of the Imperial Garden, stretched out his hand to separate the dense green branches outside the building, stepped on the wild flowers and weeds that no one cared about, and walked into the small building.

Following the dark passage at the bottom of the small building, He Mingchi walked down, walked to the empty underground hall, and looked around, only to see the night pearl hanging in the sky like stars, illuminating the entire space.

He knew what this underground hall was, and he also knew what it needed to activate, but Ning Que was afraid that he had already handed over the array eye pestle to the academy for safekeeping, and there was nothing he could do about it, whether it was the national teacher or him.

He Mingchi stood on the empty ground, imagining the picture after the formation was activated, and slowly closed his eyes, [&Pingnan&&&, the most worthy reading station for book lovers!] opened his arms, as if he was standing under the night sky, hugging the whole world.
