Walking on the street, Lu Xiaoxian was thinking about whether to go to Jiuwumen, but suddenly saw a familiar figure.

A large group of people and horses were marching on the heavenly street, and the first person riding on the horse was Chen Xuanli, who was dressed in civilian clothes, followed by a long convoy, and it was obvious that they escorted Li Xian and his party into the divine capital.

Lu Xiaoxian stepped forward to greet Chen Xuanli: "General Chen, you have worked hard all the way, what about His Royal Highness King Liang?" ”

Chen Xuanli jumped off the horse and whispered: "His Royal Highness King Liang has already entered the palace first!" ”

"Oh!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

"Master Lu, Your Majesty has sent someone to pass on the secret decree, and King Luling and his entourage will secretly enter the palace, and the news must not be leaked!" Speaking of this, Chen Xuanli glanced around vigilantly, "Therefore, it is inconvenient for you to go and greet King Luling, please forgive me!" ”

Chen Xuanli has always respected Lu Xiaoxian, and he knew that Lu Xiaoxian had a good relationship with Li Xian, so he took the initiative to remind him. If it were someone else, he would never reveal such a thing as a secret decree.

"I know! I know! Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly.

Before the words fell, I heard someone shouting: "Lu Xiaoxian! ”

Who is shouting to themselves, and why is this voice so familiar?

Lu Xiaoxian followed the prestige, and saw that in the team behind Chen Xuanli, the curtain of a carriage was half lifted. Ah Guo, it shouldn't be Li Bao'er, who was glaring at him angrily.

"General Chen! I'll take my leave, and I'll invite you to drink another day! Lu Xiaoxian arched his hand to Chen Xuanli, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.

If we can't afford to provoke us, we can always afford to hide.

"Stop!"

Li Bao'er saw Lu Xiaoxian's feet smeared with oil, and she was even more angry, and was about to get out of the car to chase after her, but saw that Chen Xuanli had already come closer.

"Please sit down and put down the sedan curtain!" Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice, "I'm about to enter the imperial city, don't make it difficult for the general!" ”

Chen Xuanli's demeanor was respectful, but his tone was extremely firm.

Li Bao'er was about to open her mouth, but she heard a majestic voice from another carriage: "Listen to General Chen, don't make a mistake!" ”

Of course, Li Bao'er could hear that this was her father's voice. Li Xian and Li Bao'er have always spoken kindly, and it is rare to be so categorical as at this moment.

Li Bao'er knew that her father was angry, and she didn't dare to disobey anymore, so she had to snort and threw down the sedan curtain.

Seeing Chen Xuanli and the convoy slowly moving towards the direction of Yingtianmen, Lu Xiaoxian, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared.

Looking at the back of the convoy, Lu Xiaoxian chewed on what Chen Xuanli had just said.

Wu Zetian decided to take Li Xian back from Fangzhou, and he should have made up his mind to make him the crown prince. That being the case, why did you let Li Xian secretly enter the palace without letting outsiders know?

Is Wu Zetian changing his hexagram again? Or is something else going on?

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't figure it out.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, whatever he was, no matter what the situation was, he would know in a few days, he had more important things to do now.

Lu Xiaoxian just raised his feet and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Tea houses, taverns, pawnshops and workshops open on both sides of the street, and they continue to stretch from Dingdingmen to Yingtianmen. The long, straight streets, with pedestrians of all shapes, clothes, and faces, weave back and forth in the middle of the street, and there are many small vendors with tarpaulins in the open space on the side.

Just now, Lu Xiaoxian smelled the fragrance, and when he looked for it carefully, there was no trace. There is no doubt that Tang Qian also came to Luoyang. Now that Tang Qian is here, there must be less Mr. Wang and Ouyang Jian.

With the return of Li Xian, the competition between the forces of all parties has officially begun, how can this mysterious Mr. Wang be missing under the stormy meeting?

He didn't feel strange if he didn't come to Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoxian snorted coldly, turned around and left leisurely.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian go away, Ouyang Jian wondered: "Does he have a third eye, why does he seem to be able to feel it as soon as we appear!" ”

Tang Qian didn't answer, staring at Lu Xiaoxian's back with a look of resentment and disappearing into the crowd. I don't know why, why is this guy so popular. First Feng Man, then Yin Feng and Lang Yue, and now there is a beautiful little county lord.

It's hard to disguise when you like someone, even if you don't say it, but every action and behavior can be seen. Just like Tang Qian at this moment, although she didn't say that she was jealous, both Mr. Wang and Ouyang Jian knew that she was sour in her heart!

Chu Cheng glanced at Tang Qian and replied lightly, "If it weren't for that, how could he be worthy of being our opponent!" ”

Ouyang Jian nodded, and then asked Mr. Wang, "Master, what should we do next?" ”

"Let's go back to the inn first!" With that, Mr. Wang turned and walked forward.

"Let's go!" Ouyang Jian pulled Tang Qian and left with Mr. Wang.

……

The business of the inn depends on how many guests are staying, so the inn must be opened in a place with a large number of customers. Luoyang, the capital of the gods, became the most densely populated place of hotels, and in addition to the gathering of merchants, there were also more scholars who participated in the imperial examinations and officials waiting to be transferred. If these people do not have relatives or friends, they usually have to live in hotels in the town.

The Thanh Hoa Inn is located in Thanh Hoa Fang, which is the first square from west to east on the north side of Xuanrenmen Outer Street. It is adjacent to Dongcheng in the west across the Shukou Canal, and adjacent to Lide Fang in the south across Xuanrenmenwai Street. Due to the dense crowd and the large number of people renting and lodging, the price of the inn is high. During the imperial examination, the Thanh Hoa Hotel was often full of candidates, and it was even difficult to find a room.

The Thanh Hoa Inn has hosted many celebrities, the most famous of which is Yuan Tiangang.

In the seventh year of Wude, Yuan Tiangang was invited by Li Shimin, who was stationed in Luoyang, to arrive in Luoyang and was placed in the Qinghua Hotel. Whether it was the dignitaries in the imperial court or all kinds of people from the people, they all ran to him, and the Thanh Hoa Hotel was often full of people. Yuan Tiangang predicted the future and outcome for many of Li Shimin's subordinates, and it was later verified as expected.

It is said that Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, also went to the Qinghua Hotel to meet Yuan Tiangang.

As soon as Yuan Tiangang saw Yang, he was surprised and said, "Madame should give birth to a noble son!" ”

Yang asked the nanny to take out Wu Zetian who was wearing boy's clothes, Yuan Tiangang was shocked when he saw Wu Zetian in swaddling clothes, saying that she was "a dragon with a phoenix and a phoenix neck, extremely expensive", but said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's a man, if it's a woman, she should be the lord of the world!" ”

As it turned out, the result was said by him in advance.

The reason why Mr. Wang chose to live in Thanh Hoa Inn is of course not because of its fame, but because Zuo Jin Wuwei is located in Thanh Hoa Fang.

The Left Jin Wuwei and the Right Jin Wu Wei are the two institutions in charge of the Royal Forbidden Army. Each of the two guards has a general, a general, and two generals, as well as adjutants and a number of forbidden soldiers. The Forbidden Army was mainly responsible for the palace city, the imperial city, the eastern city and the imperial gardens, the palace guards, and traveling with the emperor. The right Jin Wuwei is located at the Jishan Fang at the southern end of Tianjin Bridge.

The most dangerous places are the safest, and it is precisely because of Jin Wuwei that the people of Wuhoupu generally do not pay attention to them.

Among the customers, Mr. Wang intends to test the two apprentices: "Tell me, how many forces are coexisting in the huge Luoyang City?" ”

Ouyang Jian obviously had a detailed understanding of the various forces in Luoyang, and when he heard Mr. Wang ask, he blurted out without thinking about it: "There are at least ten forces coexisting, large and small!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Mr. Wang encouraged.

"In addition to His Majesty today, there are also King Liang, King Wei, Imperial Heir, Princess Taiping, King Luling, Brother Zhang, Di Renjie, Lai Junchen, and of course, our lord!"

Wu Zetian is the emperor and the biggest force.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi both have the intention of being princes, and under the protection of Wu Zetian, they are not small two forces in the court.

Although the imperial heir Li Dan is low-key, he is the banner of Li Tang's ministers, and his power should not be underestimated.

Princess Taiping is not only deeply favored by Wu Zetian, but also the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and she has a lot of weight in Li Wu's words, and because of this, she has formed a great force in all parties.

Li Xian has just returned, and it stands to reason that he is just a loner, but if he inherits the position of the crown prince, his strength will inevitably come from behind.

Speaking of the two Zhang brothers, I am afraid that at present, it is the side that Wu Zetian thinks is powerful. Wu Zetian not only sealed the two brother Guogong, but also issued an edict to control the crane supervisor and seal Zhang Yizhi as the government order. When the two brothers came out of the palace, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw it, so they bowed to the ground from a distance, and waited until the horses passed before they dared to stand up. Everywhere he went, the princes and ministers rushed up together to hold the whip and stirrup for him. The ministers of literature, who joined the crowd and were powerful for a while, all ran to the disciples of Brother Zhang.

Di Renjie is Wu Zetian's most trusted prime minister, the Great Zhou Dynasty with Di Renjie as the core, established a new power group, a group of talented people are under Di Renjie's hands, Luoyang people said: "The world is peach and plum, all in Dimen." "On the one hand, this group is loyal to Wu Zetian, and on the other hand, it is faintly suppressing the Wu group.

As for Lai Junchen, who is a cool official, the reason why he is called a force is not because he can win people's hearts, on the contrary, he has the ability and means to destroy any force except Wu Zetian, and because of this, all forces dare not offend Lai Junchen.

As for the lords of Mr. Wang and Ouyang Jian, apart from themselves, it is estimated that no one in Luoyang City knows that there is such a secret force, even the shrewd Wu Zetian does not know.

"Qian'er, what do you think?" Mr. Wang looked at Tang Qian again.

Tang Qian had already returned to normal, thought for a moment, and said: "The ten forces that Senior Brother said are right, but these ten forces are intertwined, some are opposed, some are alliances, and in the end, it must be only the four directions that can play a decisive role!" ”

Ouyang Jian couldn't help but ask, "Which Quartet?" ”

"Your Majesty today, Wu Chenghei, Li Xian and Li Dan!"

Mr. Wang looked appreciative: "You mean that except for Wu Zetian, the other three people are likely to rule the world, so they can influence the forces of the other parties, right?" ”

"Master still sees it thoroughly!" Tang Qian nodded in approval.
