Chapter 687

"Your Highness, it's here!"

When he was silently distracted, the voice of the coachman suddenly came from outside the carriage. Li Heng smiled slightly and quickly came back to his senses.

"Let's go to the gold brocade shop first, I have always felt that those clothes in the palace are too gorgeous and not worthy of you, so this time I specially invited the first lady of Datang to cut and tailor for you. ”

Li Heng said, suddenly hugged Du Zhiqi next to him, opened the carriage door and walked down amid the exclamation of the beauty.

The sky of the Beijing division of the Tang Dynasty is gradually twilight, but the gold thread brocade line, which is known as the first silk village in the capital, is brightly lit, and the whole huge gold thread brocade line, the shopkeeper personally closes the door to thank the guests, and only receives a pair of guests.

From dark to dawn, Li Heng took Du Zhiqi to play in the entire Beijing Division, Tianjie Tea Market, Shou'an Fang, Zhong'an Bridge, and Burning Lamp Temple...... , played until dawn, Li Heng took Du Zhiqi in a carriage, mixed with the early morning companion scholars, and returned to his dormitory.

"Qi'er, I'm a little tired, I'll go see the teacher first to say goodbye, I guess I won't be back until later, so you can rest first." If you wake up and I haven't come back, you'll be here for a while. I've already explained, and no one will stop you wherever you go to the entire mansion, but don't go to my study. ”

Lee Hyung-do.

"It's okay, I'll be waiting for you no matter how late it is. ”

Du Zhiqi said softly:

"Besides, you're tired, I'll go and prepare some fruit for you, and when you go to meet the teacher, take it with you on the road to eat. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Heng nodded, his heart was warm, and his eyes became more and more gentle. can meet such an understanding beauty, he Li Heng will have enough for the rest of his life.

Li Heng quickly left with the fruit prepared by Du Zhiqi. Soon, Du Zhiqi and the palace maids serving in the palace were left in the entire dormitory.

"I'm a little tired, I don't need to take care of me, you all go down and rest. ”

Du Zhiqi waved his hand.

"Yes!"

A group of palace maids quickly dispersed. Du Zhiqi also seemed to be a little tired, brushed the green silk on his sideburns with his hand, and gently walked to the side of the bed and lay down slowly.

I don't know how long it took, but all the palace maids retreated, and there was silence in the room. Suddenly, whew, the breeze blew, the curtains rolled up, the light flashed, and a delicate figure suddenly appeared on the side of the bed, it was Du Zhiqi, who was sleeping soundly.

It's just a moment before and after, Du Zhiqi is still the same Du Zhiqi, but the whole person's expression and temperament are turned upside down, and he is a completely different person.

If the original Du Zhiqi is quiet and generous, with a gentle temperament, weak and lovable, then the current Du Zhiqi is like a long sword out of the sheath, and the whole person is sharp and sharp.

Du Zhiqi glanced around vigilantly, and his body jumped out of the window as quickly as a raccoon cat, and after only a few breaths, he came to the study not far from Li Heng's dormitory.

"Found it! Transcribe a copy and give it to the eldest prince quickly. ”

After searching around, Du Zhiqi's eyes flashed, and he soon saw a thin list on the desk, picked up the brush on the pen stand next to him, quickly transcribed a copy, and left quickly.

She didn't notice the whole process, and in another place not far away, a pair of bright eyes had been staring at her silently.

"Whoa!"

A moment later, the carrier pigeon quickly rose from the bedroom of the fifth prince Li Heng. The pigeon did not leave the palace, but flew some distance in the air and soon landed at the palace of the Grand Prince.

......

Time passed day by day, seven days later.

"Your Highness, something is wrong, Your Majesty has an order to summon you over immediately! The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince are all here, and the Taifu, the Taishi, and all the teachers in the palace are also here!"

Early in the morning, when it was the most tranquil, a voice broke the silence.

In the bedroom of the five princes, a guard rushed in.

"What?!"

The fifth prince looked startled, pushed away the pillow, and sat up from the bed.

Your Highness is furious, everyone is waiting there, and I hope Your Highness will act quickly!"

"Zhichu, you rest first, and I'll come when I go. ”

Before he had time to say more, Li Heng turned over and got out of bed, put on a piece of clothing, and walked out.

......

Deep in the palace, Yongfu Palace.

When the fifth prince Li Heng pushed open the door of the palace and walked in, the atmosphere was serious. Above the high hall, the Holy Emperor's face sank like water, and he sat motionless above it.

On the left and right sides, the Taishi and Taifu, who have rarely appeared, stand on both sides, with the same solemn expressions. Further down, the prince's teachers all stood in a row, looking apprehensive and looking uneasy.

And in front of the teachers is the prince of the palace. The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince...... , The princes of the palaces who are usually difficult to get together in these palaces are all gathered here at this moment.

When Li Heng pushed open the door of the temple and walked in, everyone's eyes looked over, some sneered, some were proud, some mocked, some sympathized, and some trembled, and they were in danger.

Li Heng glanced at the hall, looking at the eyes of ridicule, ridicule, and waiting to see a good show, and vaguely understood something, but there was no fear in his heart.

"Son-in-law Li Heng, meet your father!"

Li Heng flicked his sleeves, strode forward, saluted respectfully, and knelt down under the hall, his expression calm and generous.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here, you still don't kneel down and admit your mistake and apologize!"

On the side, Li Heng's teacher, Xu Shao and Master Xu, did not wait for Li Heng to kneel down, and immediately shouted, looking very uneasy.

"Master Xu, the Holy One is here, where can you speak? Do you want to deliberately excuse the Fifth Highness?"

A voice came from the side, and Taifu Chen Yong suddenly shouted, with a stern expression.

Taifu is the head of all the teachers, and he has the highest status among the teachers of the princes of the palaces, as soon as he spoke, Xu Shao was suffocated in his heart, and he immediately didn't dare to say any more, but when he looked at Li Heng, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

This fifth prince was personally taught by him and watched him grow step by step. I finally watched him grow up little by little in the palace, and slowly achieved some achievements, and gradually received the attention of the Holy Emperor, but he didn't expect to sit down like this.

"All the work has been wasted!"

Xu Shao sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at what was next.

"Hen'er, I'll give you a chance. ”

In the main hall, the Holy Emperor's face was pale, but his voice was unusually calm:

"Tell me, who did you recruit, and which civil and military generals did you collude with?"

As soon as the Holy Emperor's voice fell, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became more than ten times heavier, and everyone, the Taifu, the Taishi, the teachers of the princes of the palaces, and the princes, all fell silent, and even breathed cautiously.

Everyone's eyes were focused on His Highness's Li Heng.

Forming a party for personal gain and colluding with important ministers in the DPRK has always been a taboo in the palace, and it is tantamount to rebellion, which is a serious crime.

Although everyone has been doing this from ancient times to the present, all dynasties and dynasties have been doing this, but it is one thing to do it secretly in private, and it is another thing to be caught.

With the fact that he formed a party for personal gain, Li Heng may completely lose his qualification to compete for the throne, and it is already good to be an ordinary concubine without being assigned to the frontier.

Recently, the fifth prince Li Heng has slowly been valued by the Holy Emperor in the palace, which has caused many princes to be uneasy, but now everyone can rest assured.

"Father, the son has not colluded with any civil and military generals, please ask the father and emperor to learn from it!"

Unexpectedly, Li Heng straightened up from the ground and raised his hand, looking calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

As soon as Li Heng's words fell, the face of the Holy Emperor in the main hall suddenly sank.

"Your Highness, in front of the Holy Emperor, why should Your Highness still speak and quibble, if there is no evidence, the Holy Lord will not invite His Highness. His Highness still confessed as soon as possible, so as not to provoke the Holy One even more angry. ”

An old voice came from the side, Taishi Pei Guangting's temples were white, and he suddenly sighed and spoke.

Pei Guangting is seventy or eighty years old, and he adheres to the Confucian doctrine of self-denial and retribution, and is highly respected and respected in the court. Although the military exploits established and the status in the court are not as good as the previous generation of virtuous ministers Wang Jiuling, but in terms of qualifications and prestige, even Wang Chong's grandfather Wang Jiuling has to be honored as Lord Pei.

As early as the period of the first emperor, Pei Guangting was highly respected, and in this dynasty, he became even more high-ranking and deeply trusted and respected by the Holy Emperor.

Pei Guangting is old, and he lives in a simple place in ordinary times, and he never sees guests, even if he is a prince of the palace, it is rare to see him. But this time, the fifth prince Li Heng colluded with the important ministers of the court, formed a party for personal gain, and committed a taboo in the palace, which is a serious crime, and even Pei Guangting was shocked.

According to the rules of the palace, there is no accident, and the fifth prince Li Heng is probably completely abolished.

"Master Taishi, it's not that Li Heng is quibbling, but Li Heng hasn't done it at all. Since it's a trumped-up thing, why should Li Heng admit it?"

Li Heng is neither humble nor arrogant, and he fights with reason, even in the face of this highly respected master in the court, he does not have the slightest fear.

"Alas!"

In the main hall, hearing Li Heng's words, the teachers of the princes of the palaces couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, and Li Heng's teacher Xu Shao Xu Fuzi's heart sank to the bottom of the water.

"At this time, I am still quibbling, I am really asking for my own suffering!"

Near the wall, the second prince Li Yao sneered.

"Dare to argue with Taishi Pei Guangting in front of his father, is this guy an idiot? Don't you know that my father has always respected Pei Taishi and trusts him?"

The third prince, Li Ju, looked at His Royal Highness Li Heng, his eyes were full of mockery.

Loyalty, filial piety, and courtesy, the Holy Emperor has always admired it, and Li Heng did this, but he just kept lowering his impression in the Holy Emperor's heart, which is called asking for hardship.

Li Ju can already guess what kind of fate Li Heng will be next.

"Alas, Brother Fifth Emperor, why bother? He clearly knows that his father is aware of everything, and if there is no conclusive evidence, he will definitely not recruit him, so what's the point of denying it at this time?"

Opposite Li Yao and Li Ju, on the wall to the left of the Holy Emperor, Li Qi, the tenth prince who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, shook his head slightly, his eyes full of sympathy. He, like Li Heng, was unwilling in the palace at the beginning, and was suppressed by the princes of other palaces.

Therefore, among the princes of the palaces, he was the only one who deeply sympathized with Li Heng, but it was only that. Li Heng's attitude in the face of the Holy Emperor and the Grand Master made him deeply dissatisfied.

Knowing that he was caught, he still collided with his father and the Taishi, which is not a wise move.

The four princes, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the other princes of the palaces all sneered, and with Li Heng's words today, I am afraid that today's things will be difficult to be good.

"Bastard!"

Sure enough, hearing Li Heng's words, on the main hall, the Holy Emperor thundered and was furious, the entire hall was buzzing and trembling, and a terrifying coercion enveloped the void, making all the princes tremble and bow their heads one after another:

"Rebel, it's all come to this point, you're still quibbling, look at what this is!"

With the sound of heavenly might, the light flashed, and two pieces of letterhead bounced down from the high hall and fell in front of Li Heng.
