Chapter 316: The Situation Takes a Sharp Turn
After three or four days, all preparations were gradually settled, and the household department and the military department urgently called the grain in the regular closing warehouse as the grain and grass for the three-way army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the general manager of the march on the middle and east roads was also ready to go, just waiting for the exact news of the imperial history of the proclamation to Shengzhou and other places, and immediately set off with troops.
As a result, the court was finally able to take a breather and wait for the upcoming counterinsurgency battle. His Royal Highness King Sipu finally had some free time, so he hurriedly came to the palace of Xin'an County again to check on the situation of Li Hui and Wang Zixian. Because he came suddenly, the servants didn't realize that they had to report quickly, and no one passed on all the way, and he came to the palace where the Yan family lived in the backyard of the palace very smoothly.
From a distance, there are barriers under the eaves of the dormitory to block the wind, and braziers are burning at the four corners, as if you are watching the snow-covered plum trees in the courtyard. Yan sat on the main throne in a robe, Li Hui and the prince were on the left side, and Princess Changning and the county lord of Xin'an were on the right. There is a small red clay stove burning in the middle, and a pot of wine is simmering on the stove, the smell is curling, and the aroma of wine is slow. It's a scene of laughter and harmony.

In the bright lights, the night banquet continued. How many people seem to talk and laugh, but in fact they have hidden doubts; How many people seem to be calm, but in fact they are nervous; How many people seem to be thoughtful, but in fact they are very determined.
Next to the empty throne, Queen Du was as indifferent as ever, smiling slightly. She only used a few words to block Concubine Yuan's temptation, and comforted the ministers below and the women inside and outside with a gentle expression like a spring breeze. Princess Changning deliberately mentioned the lighthouses prepared by each family, and invited the young ladies and little ladies to watch the lanterns together.
Puwang Li Tai seemed to be unaware that everyone around him was a little distracted, and still talked eloquently about his recent experience in tasting poetry, as well as his new paintings and so on. The eldest princess of Linchuan, Zhou Ziwu, has a similar temperament with him, and the two of them come and go, smiling, and those who are distracted from time to time next to him are quite emotional. The king of Yong'an County glanced at the empty seat of the king of Hejian County, silently drank the wine in the cup, and by the way, he shocked some children and grandchildren who were a little drunk with his eyes.
Li Xin and Li Wei quietly exchanged a look, and then continued to conscientiously look at some people who needed supervision anytime and anywhere. Although the former is a little difficult in terms of identity, fortunately he has become accustomed to it and is very handy; The latter acts on the basis of his identity, but it is a pity that someone is still a little disobedient to discipline, and there is a long way to go.
A moment later, suddenly a palace man quietly entered the table. Inadvertently, Qin An, the Duke of Wu, the King of Yong'an, Xu Ye, the Duke of Jian, and Qin Shen, the eldest princess of Qinghe, got up and left. Li Hui looked at them from afar, and then looked at King Jing and King Lu who stayed in place, and couldn't help frowning--It's already this time, is it necessary for Uncle and Grandfather Jing to pretend to be a play? Could it be that my uncle has other concerns?
As if sensing his gaze, Qin An suddenly looked back and glanced at him. Li Hui's eyes widened in surprise, and after a little hesitation, he got up and followed. Qin An thought about it, and motioned for Wang Zixian to go with him, Li Hui glanced back, and at a glance, he found Wang Zixian from the group of gentlemen, and he was a little hesitant.
How to deal with the plan of the true and false kings, the bones were sacrificed by Wu Guogong, and the flesh and blood were filled by the prince. It stands to reason that he should indeed continue to participate in the rebellion of the king of Hejian County. But his rank was too low at this time, and the saint didn't think to summon him, so it would be inappropriate for him to appear rashly. Moreover, he had just been injured, and it was when he was tired, and if he was not in good spirits in front of the emperor, he would inevitably be suspected of being rude.
Just as he was frowning and weighing, Qin An slapped him several times with his fat palm, which immediately knocked his concerns to pieces. The prince had already quietly arrived, smiling and saluting several important ministers. When the palace people who passed the word saw it, their faces did not change at all, and they were still just leading the way in front. The two walked side by side, falling behind the elders, whispering.
After they were all far away, the king of Jiangxia, who raised his glass to toast with King Jing, hooked the corners of his mouth meaningfully by looking up at the magnificent palaces at the end of the garden.
In the Chaozichen Hall in the Daming Palace, the saint leaned on the hidden sac, and listened to the "King of Hejian County" talking about the scenery of Shengzhou with some carelessness. Speaking from the heart, his tongue is indeed quite good. The customs, interesting stories and even contradictions after the Turkic, Tiele tribes and the people of the Tang Dynasty lived together are slowly told, which is full of fun. Some of them are true and false, some are elegant and vulgar, some are sad and some are joyful, taking into account different tastes. If it is made into a few plays, there are probably many people who will be addicted to it.
Of course, a saint could never be fooled by these anecdotes. After listening to one story after another, he bowed his head slightly, glanced at Li Ren, who was sitting next to him with his head down, and interrupted the gushing "King of Hejian County": "These interesting things, your eldest man has also heard you say them?" ”
Feeling the sharp gaze lingering on him, Li Ren stiffened and shook his head slowly.
The "King of Hejian County" looked at him very lovingly: "Since the minister returned to Beijing, he has received many banquet posts. Because I haven't seen my relatives and friends for a long time, I'm busy socializing everywhere, but I neglect Da Lang a little. Today, I had the opportunity to talk to the saint about the scenery of Shengzhou, and thanks to the grace of the saint, it can be regarded as listening to him by the way. ”
"Your father and son have been separated for many years, and they don't seem to be very close, so I can't bear to look at it. Come to think of it, your princess should have been thinking of him, and the mother and son have not seen each other for more than ten years, which is also very pitiful. It's better to send the second son to Chang'an to live for a while, and bring Dalang back, so that their mother and son can be reunited. ”
In the early morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the brilliant and charming lights have not yet dissipated, and the streets and alleys are still crowded with people watching the lanterns. There is still a lively celebration inside and outside the capital, which seems to be the same as in previous years. However, when the court meeting ended, an edict issued by the imperial court made the entire Chang'an City shake. It was as if I had completely woken up from a sweet dream full of laughter and laughter, and had to face an unexpected reality.
In the edict, he angrily accused the king of Hejian for bullying the king and harboring ill intentions. not only replaced the real with a fake king, but left Chang'an overnight without permission, but also killed all the secret envoys sent by the sage to "ask him to return to Beijing". Such contempt for the king would not be acceptable if it were not punished. Naturally, such a rebellious king should be condemned to death, and his family and children should also be deposed as concubines.
After the will spread throughout Chang'an City, many high-ranking officials and families were suddenly shocked. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, who has not been invited to the banquet of the Hejian County Palace? Even if everyone didn't know the plan of the king of Hejian, it was only because he was the king of the clan who held real power that they couldn't push back the invitation and showed his face - even if it was just that, it became a cover for him to use, leaving an impression of "being too close" in the eyes of the sage!!
So, in order to prove their innocence, the nobles of the family really tried their best. There are those who are conscientious and busy with official business; There are those who have severed their kinship with the rebel king; Immediately raise your arms to build momentum, you must calm down the rebels, there are those who rebel against the king; There are also those who take the initiative to invite the fight. Of course, there are many people who remember that they seem to have a clansman who is about to become an official in Shengzhou, and they suddenly feel panicked, and they are busy writing sincere and affectionate letters and sending them out.
This room and the others just got into a hurry, and on the other hand, Li Hui and the others finally had time to go home to rest. After Li Hui sent several elders away, he and Wang Zixian got into the carriage of the Xin'an County Palace. Fortunately, no one watched the lights during the day, the streets were spacious, and the light carriage soon drove away from the Daming Palace.
"Zixian, should I let the king of Jiangxia meet with Li Ren? I always feel that I might be able to find out something. The king of Jiangxia looked weak and harmless, but he inadvertently used a lot of means. I don't believe that he will be willing to spend his whole life trapped in Chang'an City, spending decades in mediocrity. ”
"Zixian?" After waiting for a moment, the man who leaned on him did not hesitate. Li Hui couldn't help but look down and was surprised to find that Wang Zixian had fallen asleep. After thinking about it carefully, he was injured in his pursuit of the king of Hejian, and he had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, so he must have been exhausted a long time ago. Last night, it was only because I was in front of the palace that I had to make a hundred times more energetic. And he almost forgot that he should be allowed to rest.
It was inevitable that he would be a little unstable when he slept on his back, so Li Hui helped him change his position and let him sleep peacefully on his lap. There was also a fox fur in the corner to protect him from the cold, and he also took it and covered it. The position of the brazier was also moved a little closer, and suddenly the warmth around the two of them became a little stronger.
Then, Li Hui looked down at his sleeping side face. This face is much tougher than when I first saw it. Three points change, and seven points are still in memory. Moreover, it is clear that he has looked at his face countless times, but at this moment, he is still handsome and outstanding, and every outline is most in line with his heart, which makes him intoxicated.
