Li Chen didn't say anything more to Xue Huaiyi, speaking of which Xue Huaiyi also took shit luck, since he became Wu Zetian's male favorite, everything went well, it seemed that the sky was helping him feel, first in the name of the White Horse Temple presided over Buddhism, and then to build the White Horse Temple, rebuild the Ming Hall, everything in his hands, it seemed to be very smooth.

Li Chen looked at the high-spirited Xue Huaiyi beside him, it was hard to imagine his appearance of swaggering and deceiving on the street back then, it can be seen that human nature can be covered □□ seamlessly under a pair of skins.

Mother has been very fond of this Xue Huaiyi in recent years, but I don't know how long my mother can spoil him?

Li Chen glanced at Xue Huaiyi with a smile, and then slowly walked out of the Buddhist hall and walked towards the back mountain of the White Horse Temple. The eldest princess of Yongchang put up a guard of honor to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, Xue Huaiyi had the intention to please the eldest princess favored by the queen mother, and naturally cleared out the idle people. Seeing that Li Chen didn't seem to have the intention of saying anything more, he didn't care, and only smiled and looked at the British prince Li Jingye who was following the eldest princess.

It is said that Princess Yongchang has a personal relationship with the British Duke Li Jingye, but now it seems that it is true.

Xue Huaiyi used to live on the streets, even if he was favored by an eldest princess of Taizong and recruited him into the princess's mansion, but it was to dedicate him to Wu Zetian. When he saw Wu Zetian, he knew that there was such a woman in the world, she was like a mother and a sister, giving him glory and wealth, giving him space to display his strengths, and when she was grinding, she would teach him some calligraphy when she had nothing to do, or talk to him about those flowers before and under the moon, which were the worlds that Xue Huaiyi had never stepped into before.

Wu Zetian gave him a new life, so he couldn't help but fall into his infatuation with Wu Zetian. He knows very well what a man's eyes look like when he has a crush on a woman.

The British duke's eyes looking at Princess Yongchang were already quite restrained, but as a man, Xue Huaiyi couldn't help but feel a wave of sympathy for Li Jingye.

He said to the Queen Mother, although he couldn't put it on the table, but there was no one else around the Queen Mother, even if there were a few faces, but the Queen Mother valued him the most, and even handed over such an important thing as rebuilding the Ming Hall to him. But what about the British duke? There is also a princess next to Song Jing in the imperial history, people are decent horses, and the British princess wants to see his beloved woman, probably not easy, right?

Xue Huaiyi thought about it, and suddenly became proud again.

What happens after the British Duke is a nobleman? In these matters, isn't he more aggrieved and helpless than Feng Xiaobao, who was born in the market?

"Presiding, do you need to send someone to follow the princess and the princess?"

Just when Xue Huaiyi was sympathizing with Li Jingye in his heart, a little novice interrupted him, he came back to his senses, looked at the little novice next to him, and smiled disapprerovingly, "What can they do?" No, you don't. ”

In Xue Huaiyi's heart, Li Chen and Li Jingye are just men and women, and he has long been surprised by these things. And now he is thinking about having a good relationship with Princess Yongchang and these people, especially Song Jing, who counts him with a straight face when he doesn't agree with him in the court, this is not right and that is not, and now he has opened a convenient door for Princess Yongchang, maybe Princess Yongchang remembers his kindness and can say good things about him in front of Song Jing.

Xue Huaiyi felt that although he didn't want to tie up with Song Jing now, now Song Jing was called an iron chopsticks in the court, and he would rather bend than bend, which was an iron-fisted method. Every time Xue Huaiyi saw Song Jing, he would feel a sense of kinship.

Li Chen and Li Jingye walked together on the back mountain of the White Horse Temple, and there were not many people behind them, Shu Ye and Shu Zhi were both well-informed and interesting people, knowing that the princess must have something to tell the British princess, they would naturally open a proper distance. Not to mention that Xue Huaiyi didn't let people stare at it, even if he asked people to stare at it, he couldn't stare at it, and the princess's two secret guards were still guarding on the side.

Li Chen and Li Jingye have not been directly face-to-face like this for several years, Li Chen seemed to be a friend who had not seen him for a long time, and greeted Li Jingye: "The general is not harmed." ”

Li Jingye, who had been following behind the princess, was stunned, and then said respectfully: "Thanks to the princess, I am dedicated." ”

Li Chen turned his head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled, "The general has been in the frontier for a few years, and now that he is back, is he going to break up with Yongchangsheng?" ”

Li Jingye: "......"

It's not that I'm divided, but I'm a little timid. In the years when he was eating sand in the frontier, he didn't think of Li Chen, every time he thought of her, he would feel an uncontrollable unwillingness in his heart, after all, this was the only woman who made him feel excited in his life.

When I was in the frontier, I would occasionally receive letters from her, but most of them would not be from her, and they were usually from Master Wuyun of Lingyin Temple. The monks of Wuyun Master Lingyin Temple shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying forward the Buddhism that the Queen Mother believes, and when they arrive at the frontier, they can also see the monks who come to convey the sound of the Buddha. Master Wuyun's letters are often interspersed with scriptures, usually telling him what the current situation is, Li Xian is now pretending to be crazy and stupid, and is brewing to preserve his strength, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will plan to make a comeback.

Master Wuyun said a lot of these things, and Li Jingye couldn't help but suspect that in fact, these were just general remarks, and they were all used to fool him.

Li Jingye even thought that the mastermind behind fooling him was the woman in front of him.

I haven't seen her for a few years, she has changed a lot, she has become more moving, she used to have a bit of a delicate atmosphere, but now she is more and more calm and noble, and it is impossible to ignore her existence at a glance. Li Jingye even felt that his heart had been silent for several years, and after seeing her, he was uncontrollably ready to move again.

probably let Cheng Wuting and Pei Xingjian, these generals, see it, and laugh at General Li, who is usually at ease, is like a hairy boy at this moment, and the surface is becoming more and more calm and silent, which shows more and more that he wants to cover up.

In fact, there is no ease of use, usually there is a degree of advance and retreat, but it is because the one he faces has never been the person he wants.

Li Chen looked at the silent Li Jingye, smiled again, and said, "Yongchang remembers that a few years ago, he asked the general in Buxian Garden if he was willing to use it for me. ”

Li Jingye raised his eyes and looked at her.

Li Chen met his gaze Yingying stood in the green mountain, "The general's words to Yongchang have been avoided for several years, and now Yongchang can't hold it back, so he came to ask the general for an answer." ”

Li Jingye smiled bitterly: "Jingye didn't expect the princess to remember this." ”

In the past few years, he has been left alone, and there is Li Xian's handwritten letter, he thought that the matter was over, but it turned out that she was still waiting for his reply?

Li Chen: "I spent a lot of thought and energy on the general, so I naturally remember it. ”

Li Chen glanced at him and motioned for him to follow, and the two walked together along the winding path in the back mountain. Until this moment, Li Chen felt that he didn't need to hide anything anymore.

"The general probably also knows what the situation is now, the queen mother got the Luoshui god map, and she wants to sacrifice to the heavens to thank God for her kindness, and all the governors of the states, the assassin history and the relatives of the royal family will all come to Luoyang, some people say that the queen mother's move is to summon the hundred officials to Luoyang, and all the people who oppose her will be wiped out, what does the general think of this?"

Li Jingye was stunned, he never thought that Li Chen would directly say it so clearly.

A few years ago, Li Chen hoped that he could gather some of the generals' strength and use them for her in the future. Although he has never responded positively to Li Chen's words, he has indeed developed his strength secretly over the years, especially after getting Li Xian's handwritten letter. Now the Queen Mother is autocratic, but he still thinks that his allegiance is to the Tang Dynasty and the Li clan left by the first emperor.

The people in the court, whether they were civil ministers or military generals, even the courtiers of the queen mother's camp, did not dare to say it so clearly, not to mention that Li Chen, as the daughter of the first emperor, was the blood of the Li family. Now when it comes to the Queen Mother, she is calm, as if she is not talking about a change of ownership, but a trivial matter like a house changing its owner.

Li Jingye couldn't hide the look of surprise in his eyes, and looked at Li Chen fixedly.

"The general doesn't need to be surprised, the heart of the Queen Mother is now known to everyone. Since she is my mother, I naturally know her thoughts. The queen mother's momentum is like the sky. General, Pei Yan was still in a high position in the past, what happened later? The Yangzhou Rebellion was huge, what happened to it? Could it be that the ability of a general is higher than Pei Yan? The number of troops in his hands is enough to be compared with the 100,000 army of Yangzhou? ”

Li Chen said lightly, there was no special look on her face, her beautiful and clear eyes, looking at the mountains in the distance at this time, made Li Jingye unable to see what she was thinking in her heart.

"General, when you decide, you will decide, it's time for you to make a decision." Li Chen reminded.

Li Jingye turned around and looked at the scenery below the mountain with her.

The rivers and mountains are picturesque, but in this picturesque scenery, how many unknown open and secret battles are hidden?

Li Jingye: "Princess, Jingye has always wanted to ask something. ”

Li Chen: "You ask." ”

Li Jingye: "Shuren Li Xian...... Is it really crazy or fake crazy? ”

Li Chen turned his head sideways, and those beautiful eyes looked at him, as if he was smiling, "If I say it's fake madness, does the general believe it?" ”

Li Jingye: "Dedication remembers that when the princess was young, she had a talent for calligraphy, and often copied some of everyone's calligraphy. Later, after the first emperor gave the princess a guqin, the princess stopped copying calligraphy. Jingye wanted to ask the princess, did she ever collect the calligraphy of the former prince Li Xian? ”

Li Chen blinked, "I have collected it, many of the second brother's calligraphy books are now collected in my library, well, there are all periods, what's the matter?" The general wants his notebook? ”

When Li Jingye heard this, his handsome face was full of helpless smiles.

He always thought that what Li Chen showed was enough to surprise him. Who knew that the scares she gave one after another made him unguarded. Thinking about it, the letters he received from Li Xian, a concubine, over the years, were all written by her.

No wonder Li Xian would make him obey Princess Yongchang's arrangement.

It turned out that he fell into her trap from beginning to end. In the past few years, I have ignored him and kept him safe, but it is not time to use him. Now that he has the handle in her hands, how can he not be used by her?

Li Chen smiled, his tone was slightly cold, "Actually, the general doesn't have to be so bitter and hateful, if you can't be used by me, it won't be anything." It's just that you also know very well in your own heart that since you followed the filial piety emperor and the concubine Li Xian in the past, it is not very likely that the queen mother will reuse you. You have where you are now, and your own skills are important, but not the most important. ”

The reason why her mother has not moved Li Jingye has something to do with Cheng Wuting's strong recommendation, but she also has a relationship.

If her mother hadn't always thought that there was a relationship between her and Li Jingye, and her mother was more indulgent to her, how could Li Jingye be safe and sound all these years?

Li Jingye also laughed when he heard Li Chen's words, "What the princess said is very true, since she has received the favor of others, there is no reason not to repay it." It's just that if the princess wants to be dedicated and do something against her heart, she can't do it anyway. ”

Li Chen didn't bother to talk to him again, and asked straightforwardly: "Luoyang sacrifices to the sky, the Li clan will have a change, if I have a way for you to lead the troops to fight against the Li clan, are you willing?" ”

"Up to now, even my fourth brother has taken the initiative to ask for a Zen position, a general, and a person who knows the times is a handsome man. As my father's daughter, I can only guarantee you that a hundred years after the Queen Mother, the surname is still Li. ”
