In the Yushitai, Song Jing was arranging people to supervise the disaster relief for the Jinzhou earthquake, and not long after the arrangement, Di Renjie, the current head of the household, had already come to the Yushitai and said that he wanted to find a horse for tea. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Princess Yongchang's kung fu of making tea is very good, and she has a good hand of tea, and when the first emperor was there, she often praised that Princess Yongchang's tea division technique is the second in the world, so no one dares to call it the first in the world.

Di Renjie thought that Song Jing, as a concubine, often spent time with the princess, making tea and chanting poems in his spare time, and he didn't learn seven or eight percent of Princess Yongchang's tea division skills, at least fifty percent. Who knew that when he arrived at the Yushitai, Song Jing took out a very simple teapot, asked people to boil a pot of hot water to come in, and then broke a small piece of the tea cake and threw it into the pot, and then poured hot water, and it was over.

Di Renjie: "......"

He wondered if he should still be glad that Song Jing remembered that the first step was to wash tea?

Song Jing seemed to see through Di Renjie's thoughts, and laughed at himself: "Di Gong laughs, the princess is good tea, but in Jing's opinion, whether it is coarse tea or good tea, it is just a refreshing thing, and I don't spend much time on it on weekdays." ”

Di Renjie smiled and picked up the teacup, as if the two of them were chatting about homely things, "I remember the past, when the princess was probably still -" Di Renjie took a sip of tea, then put the teacup down, and gestured with his hand in the air, "At that time, when Princess Yongchang was still so high, I went to Jinju with Emperor Xiaojing to come back from disaster relief, because the performance of Emperor Xiaojing made the first emperor very satisfied, the first emperor was happy to give Emperor Xiaojing many rewards, I stained the light of filial piety to the emperor, The first emperor rewarded me with a bunch of tea cakes that said that the princess of Yongchang did not envy the garden, at that time the tea ceremony was not as prosperous as it is now, I was sad about a bunch of tea cakes, for fear of destroying the heavens, fortunately at that time the princess Yongchang was also intimate, and actually came up with a set of simple ways to make tea, when the first emperor wanted to reward us with tea cakes, he also attached a small book, so that we can learn how to make tea. ”

Song Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie is serious: "The tea ceremony is easy to learn and difficult to master, we are born to work hard, and it is very reasonable that we can't learn it." ”

Song Jing: "......"

He felt that Di Renjie was not comforting him, but was here to ridicule him.

Di Renjie picked up the teacup with a smile and drank the tea slowly, as if he really came to Song Yushi to drink tea and chatter about homely things by the way.

Song Jing didn't care what Di Renjie was here for, anyway, he happened to have something to ask Di Renjie.

Song Jing: "Di Gong, I want to ask you about something. I remember that before the first emperor left, you mentioned to me that we dare not speculate on the holy will, but there is one person who must know the first emperor's heart. Why were you so sure that person was Yongchang? ”

Di Renjie: "It's been a long time since this matter, why do you bring it up again at this time?" ”

Song Jing didn't want to tell Di Renjie that Li Chen had the private seal of the first emperor in his hands, he just felt that Di Renjie thought that Li Chen knew what Li Zhi was thinking at that time, and he must know more things in his heart than him.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "No matter what, the first emperor has died, and now the new emperor has changed two, and it is useless to talk about this matter again." ”

Song Jing said with a straight face: "No matter what, I also want to find out about this matter." Di Gong, although Yongchang was deeply favored by the first emperor and the queen mother, but she was just a princess, why did the king and the king of the prime minister and even the queen mother at that time not know something, but you think she knew it? ”

Di Renjie looked at Song Jing and pondered for a long time before he considered his words and said: "When the first emperor went to Jiucheng Palace for the last time before his death, I was responsible for arranging the first emperor's accommodation along the way. Emperor Taizong was so sad that he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't eat for several months, and he couldn't even see things related to Princess Jinyang, for fear that he would be even more sad when he saw things and thought about people. ”

Song Jing: "......"

For Song Jing, from the time he began to get acquainted with Li Chen, Li Chen seemed to have entered a rebellious period, very capricious, and the most direct manifestation was in the matter of choosing a horse. As soon as the first emperor saw Song Jing, he glared and blew his beard, and Song Jing couldn't imagine that Li Chen, who was so bent on going his own way, would have such a considerate and intelligent time.

Di Renjie looked at Song Jing with a bit of deep meaning in his eyes, "Have you ever heard that Princess Yongchang had a relationship with several brothers when she was young?" ”

Song Jing: "I heard Zixi say that Yongchang was very protective of filial piety to the emperor when he was young, and later after the concubine Li Xian entered the East Palace, he also solved some very sensitive problems for him by mistake. "For example, the rumor that Li Xian was not the queen's concubine was the rumor that was solved by Li Chen.

Di Renjie pondered and said, "As courtiers, you and I shouldn't talk about the family affairs of the Son of Heaven. Now these words come out of my mouth, and you hear them, and they do not come to a third person. When Emperor Xiaojing died suddenly, the first emperor asked me to secretly investigate the matter. But halfway through the investigation, I couldn't find it anymore, because a key figure at that time died in vain. ”

Song Jing frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Di Renjie stared at him fixedly for a moment, and then whispered: "That is the nephew of my mentor Yan Liben, he was the family order of filial piety to the emperor at that time, and almost all of the filial piety emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation were inquired about by him, just when I was investigating the cause of the filial piety emperor's death, he committed a major case for no reason, and was dealt with by the queen mother severely, strictly and quickly, and it only took three days to engage in the punishment of the crime. ”

Song Jing frowned slightly, so all along, Zhou Jitong's implication that Li Hong was not a simple sudden death was not groundless.

Di Renjie: "After the sudden death of Emperor Xiaojing, the first emperor was sick and sick, and several children, but Princess Yongchang was authorized by the first emperor to go to the palace of eternal life to accompany the first emperor to read books and practice calligraphy and play the qin. Later, the concubine Li Xianli became the crown prince, and the queen mother was on the same page, and Princess Yongchang also tried to mediate from it, but later the concubine Li Xian was convicted by the queen mother for treason, and deposed the crown prince and exiled to Bazhou. Since then, Princess Yongchang has never contradicted the Queen Mother for her brothers again, until the King of Luling ascended the throne, and the news that the concubine Li Xian had a mad disease came back from Bazhou, and she once again contradicted the Queen Mother. ”

Song Jing looked at Di Renjie and frowned. Di Renjie's meaning is actually very clear, the reason why Li Chen defended her two brothers was probably because he thought that the first emperor also liked them as successors, and the later Li Xian and Li Dan were not up to the mark in Li Zhi's opinion, so Li Chen also understood his father's thoughts, and never quarreled with the Queen Mother for those two brothers.

Song Jing thought about it, and a bold thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie gave him a calm look very calmly, "Before the first emperor died, I received a letter stamped with the first emperor's private seal. ”

Song Jing: "......"

At that time, the first emperor was sick for I don't know how long, and I didn't know where I was, where could I still write a letter? The letter that Di Renjie received stamped with the private seal of the first emperor was probably also from Li Chen's handwriting.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "It's also very strange to say, at that time, the first emperor was so sick that he didn't know the north and south of the world, how could he still write to me?" But that handwriting is undoubtedly the first emperor's, and it is blessed by the first emperor's private seal, I have to believe it. ”

Song Jing suddenly remembered that in the library of the princess's mansion, Li Chen collected all kinds of former emperors' notebooks, from every age group. He suddenly felt so tired, his princess had secretly done so many things behind his back. Song Jing pinched his eyebrows very tiredly, and asked Di Renjie: "Dare to ask Di Gong, what is there in the letter of the first emperor?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head with a smile and said: "The first emperor didn't say anything, only said that now the border is restless, the natural disasters in the territory are **, and the crown prince Li Xian is overwhelmed, so the queen mother can participate in politics, and those who are undecided on military affairs will listen to the queen mother's will to decide, and there is not much difference from the edict of the first emperor." But—"

Anything, whenever there is a turning point, there must be something unexpected by others, so Song Jing raised his ears again and listened to Di Renjie's words.

Di Renjie said: "But the first emperor mentioned you in the letter. ”

Song Jing was silent.

"The first emperor said that now the old minister Liu Renliang in the court can be trusted, and the military general Pei Xingjian Cheng is very loyal to the country, and has no two hearts, if he encounters an injustice between the two generals in the day, please be sure to move the queen mother, and said that the younger generation of Song Jing and Li Jingye in the court can take care of themselves for time, so that the old man can take a hand at the right time, so as not to be overwhelmed by the military generals and virtuous ministers of the court in the future."

Song Jing was still silent.

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Guangping, these many things, the first emperor may not know how long ago was planning, not only me, probably many ministers who were trusted by the former emperor have received similar letters, so now when the queen mother wants to change the world, the opposition from the court and the central government is not big." Maybe everyone thought in their hearts, these things were thought of before the death of the first emperor, the new emperor was too embarrassed when he ascended the throne, and he was worried that the new emperor would not be able to control the situation, so it was understandable to let the queen mother take power. The Queen Mother and the two saints of the first emperor have been respected for many years, whether it is the ministers of the court or the people of the Tang Dynasty, they are used to the ruling power of the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, Song Jing rubbed his temples and laughed.

There were many things he couldn't understand before, but now he finally understood. No wonder after he became a concubine, he has been rising all the way, until now he is in the imperial history, in just three years, he has reached a height higher than many people have spent a lifetime climbing, this is not because he is really outstanding, but Li Chen is secretly opening the way for him.

It was not only him who opened the way openly and secretly, but also Li Jingye.

Song Jing couldn't say how he felt at this time, since Zhou Jitong lost his words after drinking in the princess's mansion last autumn, and he grabbed the handle and stuck out many things that he didn't know before, he had already prepared that Li Chen was not as unprepared as she appeared. But when he heard Di Renjie's things at this time, he felt very complicated in his heart, she should have been a favored princess, held on the tip of her heart by the emperor's husband and wife and the people of the Tang Dynasty, but because of her father's entrustment before her death, she tried her best to force herself into an all-round person, on the surface willful and reckless, heartless, but in fact, it was not easy than anyone else.

As long as he thought of this, he didn't know whether he was a little more angry with Li Chen or a little more distressed.

Just when the pony didn't know how to face the princess, someone suddenly came in and reported that the princess's carriage was waiting outside the Imperial Tower.

The horse, who was still in retreat with Di Renjie, suddenly became restrained after hearing that the princess was waiting outside the Imperial History Terrace.

He inevitably thought of breaking up with Li Chen that day, because he was really angry in his heart, and the princess looked like she was unrepentant, which really made him so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but if he was ruthless, he should tell the person who reported him that he still had something to do, and let the princess go back first. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything, so the colt picked up the teacup a little uncomfortably, and drank the steaming tea cow with a desire to cover it, and almost didn't get burned out of his tears.

Di Renjie looked at Song Jing a little strangely, the young man was very handsome against the backdrop of an official uniform. And Song Jing, I don't know where I learned the ability, there is always a little bit of calmness when Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his face does not change, it seems that his aura is mysterious and powerful, and now he is so restless, but it is the first time he has seen it.

Di Renjie thought, could it be that Song Jing did something sorry for Princess Yongchang, so when he heard that Princess Yongchang was waiting for him outside, he looked so uneasy? However, after thinking about it, I felt that Song Jing had always been self-disciplined, and if he did something like being sorry for Princess Yongchang, he probably wouldn't have it if he "longed for it".

But he didn't reply or go out, what's the matter? Di Renjie thought about it and suddenly realized, isn't this still drinking tea in Yushitai by himself? !

So Di Gong, who was particularly eye-catching, stood up with a smile and said to Song Jing: "Guangping, I'll go back to the household department first." ”

Song Jing stood up and sent Di Renjie to the door, and then unsurprisingly saw the princess's carriage parked in front of the imperial history platform.

Song Jing: "......"

Di Renjie looked at the carriage in front of him with a smile, and said to Song Jing: "You and I don't have to worry about many things, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, how can there be so many worries." Guangping, please stay, I'll go back by myself. ”

Song Jing smiled and gave up Di Renjie's hand, and at this time, there happened to be a light rain in the sky, and the princess's guard Shu Ye came over with a small oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and handed it to Di Renjie very respectfully, with a polite tone: "My princess said that she hadn't seen Di Gong for a long time, and Di Gong's spirit was better than before, which is really gratifying." Earlier, the princess got a batch of osmanthus brew, and said that she would send some to Di Gong's mansion later, and asked Di Gong not to refuse. ”

Di Renjie took the oil-paper umbrella sent by Shu Ye, and sighed and said, "Princess Loss still remembers my old bones. ”

Seeing this, Song Jing said: "Di Gong has done his best for the country, and his merits are in the future, so there is no need to be arrogant. ”

Di Renjie raised his eyes and glanced at Song Jing with a smile in his eyes, "I'm old, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it should have been time for your younger generation to show their ambitions." As he spoke, Di Renjie, who claimed to be an old bone, opened the oil-paper fan and left the Yushitai in the drizzle.

Song Jing watched Di Renjie leave, and then looked at Shu Ye, who was standing quietly.

Shu Ye: "Pony, the princess is waiting for you in the carriage." ”

As soon as Song Jing heard this, he felt troubled. He felt that Li Chenzhi was really a little too tormented for him. I was upset when I didn't see her, and even more upset when I saw her, as if it wasn't suitable for her. However, I still can't be ruthless.

Shu Ye: "Please don't make it difficult for Shu Ye." ”

Song Jing is a mallet in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of many people, he is a gentle and elegant humble gentleman. For example, in Shu Ye's eyes, Shu Ye felt that their colt was a naturally benevolent person, no matter how much anger and dissatisfaction he had in his heart, he would not casually take his anger on those who did things, and he could always make them feel the warmth of a spring breeze.

Sure enough, the horse, who was still struggling with whether to get into the carriage, just sighed helplessly after hearing Shu Ye's words, and then walked to the carriage, and didn't know what the princess said.
