The spring of the third year of Yonghui came very early, only in February, the ice cubes in the Weishui River melted most of them, the river water with the sparkling ice slag rushed to the downstream and roared, and the weeping willows that moistened the shore also spit out new shoots in the cold wind of early spring!

Just after the New Year, the emperor's edict was quickly passed out, and they rushed to the fiefdoms of the princes.

This year is for the first emperor to keep filial piety for three years to remove the service of Daxiang, the princes from all over the country have to come to participate in the ceremony as usual, and the spring dynasty, the princes are to come to thank the law to thank you.

It was now February, and the car of Li Ke, the king of Wu, who returned to Chang'an, was the first to appear on the edge of the Wei River.

The long convoy walked along the official road, the first pair of palace guards riding on horses held a pair of apricot yellow dragon umbrellas in their hands, behind the umbrella cover of the wind, the full prince's honor guard showed its majesty, and everyone who saw it retreated.

Li Ke, who was sitting alone in the car, silently looked at the scenery outside the window through the newly changed shadow veil on the window, and the wind through the window came with the chill of early spring.

It's been three years! It was the first time in three years that he had come so close to that old dream place.

At the beginning, in front of his father's couch, the sentence that he would never be allowed to enter Beijing almost shattered all the fantasies in his heart and stepped his whole person into the mud.

And now, things are not people, the current Chang'an is no longer what it used to be, but the stern and loving father can no longer be seen!

Li Ke sighed lightly, slowly leaned his body into the soft pillow on his back and closed his eyes.

In the spacious car, the soft pillows made of plain white cloud brocade are soft and warm, the purple pottery teapot is on the small charcoal stove in the corner of the car, silently steaming white, and on the small table in the car, a white porcelain teacup still has residual warmth.

Except for Li Ke, who was wearing a dark woven twill robe, the decoration in the entire carriage was all plain white, as if it had been a winter of residual snow, and it was spread cleanly in this quiet carriage.

The sound of horses' hooves was clearly transmitted into the ear drums.

The escort in standard armor galloped close from the front of the line, leaned against Li Ke's window, and whispered: "Lord Wang! There's Chunming Gate ahead."

Li Ke, who had his eyes slightly closed, agreed in a noncommittal low voice, and the guards were ordered, and then turned around and galloped straight to the city gate.

Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, and the city gate is already full of people and cars at noon.

With a commotion mixed with the shouts of the guards guarding the gate, the car of Li Ke, the king of Wu, slowly drove into Chang'an City under the advice of everyone at the city gate, and drove straight to Taiji Palace along the flat and wide Vermilion Bird Street.

The chariot was divided into two teams at the corner of Zhuque Street to King Wu's mansion, and the car of King Wu Li Ke and the princess drove straight to Taiji Palace, while the rest of the carriage carrying the goods of the servants turned straight to King Wu's palace in Chang'an.

According to the law, the prince must first enter the palace to see the emperor before returning to the palace, and King Wu is no exception.

After taking care of the clean room and sweeping away the dust all over the body, Li Ke and Princess Wu got on the chariot to the Ganlu Palace.

Looking at the familiar dougong cornices in front of him, as well as a team of palace maids who walked by from time to time on the bluestone path, Li Ke couldn't help but feel in a trance, and he couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy The feeling surged in his heart.

"Lord Wang! Princess Wu, who got out of the car behind Li Ke, gently touched Li Ke's elbow.

"Princess." Li Ke, who came back to his senses, still had a trace of regret in his eyes that he didn't even notice himself.With a self-lost smile, he took the princess's hand with a little gratitude.

Xiao Chengzi, who was standing at the gate of the palace, saw the chariot coming, hurriedly took a few steps forward, swept the dust in his hand and bowed and said, "Xiao Chengzi has seen His Royal Highness King Wu!" ＂

"Cheng's father-in-law is polite! Li Ke responded lightly and raised his hand towards Xiao Chengzi.

"The emperor has been waiting in the palace for a long time, and he also asked His Royal Highness to enter the palace with the slaves and maids, and the princess and the princess have her own palace people to take them to the queen of Zhaoyang Hall to meet her."

Xiao Chengzi looked up at Li Ke sitting on the chariot with a smile, although he had a smile on his face, the words he said were not refuted.

Li Ke and the princess glanced at each other, the two smiled tacitly, and Li Ke jumped out of the car holding the hand of the inner supervisor.

They parted at the bottom of the steps in front of the hall, and it was not until King Wu stepped into the gate of the Ganlu Hall behind Xiao Chengzi, and Princess Wu, who stopped at the bottom of the steps outside the hall, turned her head and signaled the inner supervisor to continue to move towards the Zhaoyang Palace.

Sitting behind the bookcase of the Ganlu Palace, Li Zhi at this time had already changed the full set of crowns of the previous dynasty, and a dark purple checkered silk narrow-sleeved robe looked slightly dim under the surrounding golden brilliance, and the original silhouette of the handsome face seemed to be hidden in the shadow of the eight sandalwood screens behind him, and it was impossible to see clearly.

There was silence in the Ganlu Palace, Li Ke followed behind Xiao Chengzi, stopped five steps away from Li Zhi, and stood fixed staring at Li Zhi, who was sitting firmly behind the bookcase.

The palace people had already retreated, and in the huge manna hall, except for the slight sound of wind through the window, only Li Ke's slightly rapid breathing could be heard clearly.

After a long while, just when Xiao Chengzi almost couldn't hold back and wanted to open his mouth to remind Li Ke, he heard a flat voice without a trace of emotion sounded in the Ganlu Palace.

"Minister...... Li Ke knocks to see Your Majesty! ＂

With this unspeakable what it was like, Li Ke, who was originally scheduled to stand in front of Li Zhi, stiffly bent down, and with a "bang", he knelt heavily on the smooth brick floor in front of Li Zhi.

"Ping...... Body! There was no emotion in Li Zhi's voice, just the two elongated words, like a long sigh, slowly swirling in the huge manna hall and slowly disappearing.

Xiao Chengzi secretly glanced at the emperor's face, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly helped Li Ke, who was kneeling with his head bowed, up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Ke thanked him plainly and stood up along Xiao Chengzi's hand.

Li Zhi waved his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, and Xiao Chengzi on the side was busy leading Li Ke to sit down next to the high table on the side.

"Sit down! ＂

"Thank you, Your Majesty! ＂

The back and forth between the two is as rigid as the dogma stipulated by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the rules of one advance and one retreat make people feel awkward.

Looking at Li Ke's obviously much thinner face, the smile on Li Zhi's face gradually faded, the light in his eyes flickered inexplicably, lingering on Li Ke's body and trying to study, as if he wanted to see through what thoughts were turning in his heart under that plain clothes.

Xiao Chengzi personally came up with two cups of tea soup on the tea tray, put them lightly in the hands of the two of them, and then retreated behind Li Zhi, standing quietly, looking at the nose and nose.

"I ...... I haven't seen King Wu for three years." Li Zhi looked at the man in front of him who was looking down at the ground.

After some care, Li Ke no longer has the color of rushing for days, and the thinness of his cheeks makes the face that originally seemed too soft more contoured, revealing a mature perseverance.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Ke, who raised his head, looked directly at the blessed man in front of him, and his phoenix eyes from Concubine Yang were as bright as a knife light in the dark night, with a sharp edge that penetrated the skin.

"At the beginning, the emperor had an order that the ministers were not allowed to enter Beijing forever, and Ke thanked the emperor for his magnanimity, so that Ke could see the face of heaven again! Li Ke's words were tinged with undetectable sarcasm.

At the end of the three-year period of great filial piety, Li Zhi let him enter Beijing at this time, but I am afraid that it is not as simple as removing Daxiang, right?

"At the beginning, what the emperor said was just a momentary angry talk, and I am the same son of man as King Wu, so I can't even distinguish the angry words." Li Zhi smiled slightly, not angry.

At this time, if the emperor's last order came out and said, wouldn't it mean that he was unfilial? Only three years after the death of his father, he dared to change his ways!

Li Ke, Li Ke! Seemingly...... When my father abandoned you and chose me, you still haven't let go! Otherwise, how could you embarrass me in such matters?

"No jokes! Even if it is angry, it is also from the mouth of the first emperor, if there is no emperor's edict, how dare the minister re-enter Chang'an? Li Ke's sword eyebrows were high, and his slightly raised head was wordless.

"King Wu's words are serious! Li Zhi frowned slightly.

The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the man in front of him who does not eat oil and salt really makes Li Zhi a little excited. www.biquge.info It seems that no matter how much he shows goodwill, this imperial brother is afraid that he will still be haunted by the achievements of the year.

Seeing that the words had been said to death, Li Ke, who was already guilty, simply stopped speaking, and only stared at the white porcelain cup in front of him, as if the fragrant tea soup in the cup was very attractive.

But for some reason, the right hand stroking the delicate cup body trembled slightly, and the water surface in the porcelain cup also rippled shallowly, like a stone thrown into the center of the lake, and gradually spread outward, hitting the wall of the cup before stopping.

"King Wu has worked hard all the way, let's go back to the house and rest early! When the Emperor has set a date to go to the tomb of the first emperor, I will issue an edict ordering you to accompany you."

Li Zhi looked at Li Ke, who no longer spoke, with a smile, and casually gestured to Xiao Chengzi behind him.

This time, the three-year filial piety was removed, and all the county kings who guarded the fiefdoms returned to Chang'an, not much more Li Ke, and a lot less Li Ke, if he really had any other thoughts...... In this Chang'an City, he really can't make much waves!

Exiting the Ganlu Hall under Li Zhi's gaze, Li Ke didn't feel a burst of relief until he left the palace gate.

When facing Li Zhi in the palace, even if he was unwilling to fail at the beginning, he had to admit that his three-year career as emperor had indeed formed a unique momentum in Li Zhi's body.

Under the pressure of this momentum, even the former elder brother himself is difficult to compete with head-on!

Following the inner eunuch and slowly walking out of the inner palace, looking back, the Ganlu Hall had become a corner of the cornices exposed after many barriers, and the dream he had in his heart had already become a reality in other people's lives!

Maybe...... It's time to let go!

When Li Ke saw Princess Wu, who was waiting at the gate of the inner palace and frequently looking in the direction of the Ganlu Palace, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart that frightened him.

"Lord Wang! Princess Wu hurriedly took two steps to meet Li Ke, and her low voice revealed a slight joy after seeing him safe.

Looking at the obvious anxiety on his wife's face and the relief after seeing that he was safe and sound, Li Ke suddenly felt that everything that happened in the Manna Hall was gradually moving away from him, and could no longer stir his mind.

"Go home! Gao Yang is only afraid that he should be in a hurry! ＂

Li Ke smiled and took his wife's hand, clenched it tightly all the way and never let go. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
