Chapter 442: On Gongren

Lu Xiaoxian's formation is very big, Zhang Meng, Lu Xiaoyi, Yin Feng, Lang Yue, Fan Ziming, these people in the house are naturally going to go. Long Zhuang and Leng Qing were invited guests, but Yang Si did not come because there was something temporary in the palace. In addition, Lu Xiaoxian also brought Chen San and Wu Liu, as well as a number of slaves and maids and subordinates in the house, and all kinds of food and clothing were loaded with two large carriages, and the group went out of Luoyang City, and went straight to Longmen.

Not only Lu Xiaoxian and his party, but also many literati and scholars in Luoyang City, ladies and gentlemen, all in groups of three or five, went to Longshan for an autumn trip.

When he arrived at Longmen, Lu Xiaoxian picked the best sightseeing location and began to unload the things of the carriage and prepare the food and drinks.

Chen San and the others' movements were very neat, and after a while, bursts of aroma wafted in.

After the wine and food were served, Lu Xiaoxian, Leng Qing, Long Zhuang and others shouted five and six drinks, and ate and drank there without a sea.

Yin Feng and Lang Yue didn't eat much, and a few big men drank there, and the sisters were very bored, so they made an appointment to walk around. 、

Yinfeng and Langyue stopped here, looked there, swaggered, and floated away. At this time, the scenery of Longmen is picturesque, the visitors are weaving, more than a dozen people have to talk and laugh and chant the wind and make the moon come to meet them.

Among them was a bearded woman, with blond hair hanging down her shoulders, wearing a red gold-trimmed silver ornament of Edis Sari, her plump breasts towering high through the bright national costume, and her large, beautiful blue eyes radiating a seductive brilliance.

There is no shortage of orchids in Luoyang City, but it is rare to see a woman like this woman with a graceful waist and limbs, happy and lively.

Yin Feng Langyue felt strange, so he stomped to watch.

"Are you the general of An Guogong Gong Ren Lun?" I saw a thin middle-aged man, stopped the group, and said to a black-faced man at the head.

The man had a dark face, a burly figure, and sharp eyes, and at first glance he was born in martial arts. The people who followed him were also strong and capable, presumably the man's entourage.

The black-faced man frowned, but still replied politely: "It's me, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"

"I came to Zhongcheng's subordinate Yushi Huang Bei, and Lord Zhongcheng sent me to discuss a trivial matter with General Zhongcheng." A thin middle-aged man declares his home.

Although Gong Ren has been in the border for many years, he has also heard of the name of Lai Junchen, but he doesn't know how this cool official can find him.

"What's the matter? Huang Yushi, please speak! On Gong Ren's patience asked.

Huang Bei explained the intention of Gong Ren in a low voice, who knew that Gong Ren opened his eyes when he heard this, pointed at Huang Bei and asked, "Why don't you give your wife and daughter to Lai Junchen?" ”

Huang Bei's face was red and white for a while, and he pointed at the bearded girl and said, "Isn't she just a maidservant, why should the general make such a fuss?" ”

Huang Bei is not wrong at all, this is indeed just a trivial matter.

There is a clear provision in the "Tang Law": "Slaves and maids are sluts, and the law is better than livestock." The Hu maid was just an object that could walk and be used to please others, just like a sheep and a horse raised by Gong Ren's family, and Gong Ren could dispose of her at will, including buying and selling, giving away, and even executing.

"A handmaid can't be insulted casually." On Gong Ren was furious.

"On the general!" Huang Bei threatened, "Lai Zhongcheng is a character who will tremble three times when he stomps his feet in Luoyang, although you are a prince of the country, you can't offend Lai Zhongcheng, otherwise, ...... Humph......"

Gong Ren didn't eat him, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Huang Bei looked at the beautiful woman of Hu Ren who was gradually moving away, and there was a cruel look in his eyes.

"This general is affectionate, quite like my son-in-law! If someone else had been replaced, the maid might not have ended up today! "The wind is quiet.

Yin Feng and Lang Yue were originally born as slaves, if they hadn't met Lu Xiaoxian, their ending would not have been much better, so seeing this scene, the two of them felt the same way.

"Let's go back!" Lang Yue pulled her sister and said.

The scene in front of them aroused their sadness, and the two of them were still in the mood to play, so they turned back.

Lu Xiaoxian was drinking, and when he saw the second daughter returning depressed, he couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”

"No one bullied us, we just saw what we shouldn't see, and we didn't have Youxing!" Yin Feng pouted.

"Oh? What do you see, tell me about it? Lu Xiaoxian said curiously.

Yinfeng sighed, but did not respond.

Lang Yue glanced at her sister and took the initiative to tell Lu Xiaoxian what she had just seen and heard.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Lai Junchen is used to doing evil, no one dares to provoke him in Luoyang City, this general still has some backbone......

Lu Xiaoxian paused, seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "What did you just say about the name of this general?" ”

"It's called Gong Ren, a strange name!" Lang Yue explained.

"That Huang Yushi called him An Guogong?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

Lang Yue nodded: "Yes, it's to call him An Guogong." ”

"Is that him?" Lu Xiaoxian showed a strange expression on his face, lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Why did he come to Luoyang?" ”

Zhang Meng felt strange and asked on the side: "Xiaoxian, who are you talking about?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian raised his head, shook his head slightly, and said, "Our old acquaintance, Mangbuzhi!" ”

That's right, this Gong Ren is Mangbu Zhi.

Mang Buzhi led 7,000 accounts to surrender, and was appointed as the general of Zuo Yulin, named the Duke of Anguo, and ate 2,000 households. In order to draw a clear line with Tubo, the official name was changed to Nongongren, so there is more such a surname as "Lun" in this world.

On Gongren has been placed in Liangzhou, but he somehow suddenly came to Luoyang.

Zhang Meng smiled when he heard this: "Sure enough, it's an old acquaintance, a friend comes from afar, I have to invite him to have a good drink!" ”

When Gongren came to Luoyang, as a landlord, he naturally wanted to give him a pick-up, but at this moment, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly became a little worried. He knows very well the character of Lai Junchen, and he doesn't know how powerful he is, if Lai Junchen wants to retaliate, I'm afraid that Gongren's life will be difficult.

While Lu Xiaoxian was worried about Gongren in Longmen, Li Xian was also worried about himself in the palace.

It has been nearly ten days since Li Xian returned to Luoyang, but his mood is not relaxed, and sometimes he is suspicious. In the past few days, Wu Zetian has not met Li Xian, but the eunuch came to talk to him, telling him to hide and not to come out and walk around. There was no movement for such a long time, and Li Xian's heart was covered with another layer of dark clouds.

Li Xian sighed all day long, feeling like a year.

At this moment, there were four young eunuchs, all expressionless, who came to invite Li Xian.

Li Xian asked the eunuch what was going on, but the eunuch didn't know anything. His heart was beating a drum.

In a small side hall, Li Xian saw his mother for the first time in more than ten years. He found that the mother queen was indeed much older, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down to greet his mother, but he could not say a thousand words.

Wu Zetian was completely different, neither stern nor enthusiastic, not at all like seeing the mother of her long-lost son.

Wu Zetian instructed Li Xian to go behind a small curtain, Li Xian didn't know what Wu Zetian was going to do, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to do it.

After a while, suddenly the curtain of the door was lifted, and an old minister walked in. This person is old, and Li Xian can't remember this person's name and surname.

"Long live the emperor when I knock on it, long live it!"

It's Di Renjie! Li Xian had heard his name when he was in exile in Fangzhou.

"Di Qing, don't be formal, I came to Qing today to ask for Qing's opinion again. The matter of the previous discussion is very important......" Wu Zetian said with a grim expression.

"Succession?" When Li Xian heard this, a wave of enthusiasm rushed to the top of his head, his head buzzed, and he almost couldn't listen to the following words, but fortunately, his ears were in charge again soon.

Di Renjie looked at Wu Zetian strangely, whenever she mentioned this matter on weekdays, she would divert the conversation, why did she take the initiative to mention this matter today?

"Now who the great position of the world is passed on to depends on your words. If what Qing said is what I mean, then you can have both! ”

"What His Majesty said just now, what the minister heard meant, it seems that the throne can only be exclusive to His Majesty. The minister thought that the throne was handed down by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong, how could His Majesty be self-dictatorated. Back then, Emperor Taizong braved the sword and the sword tree, fought the world, and then made the economy all over the world, and operated dismally, why did he work hard? Isn't it to pass on the throne to his children and grandchildren, is it to pass on the great country to a different surname? Take a step back and say, aunt or mother, which one is closer? Which one is closer to a son or a nephew? I hope Your Majesty thinks about it. ”

When Li Xian heard the last words "aunt and mother" and "son and nephew", a hot current in his heart rushed to his throat, his nose was sore, and tears immediately burst out of his eyes. But he didn't dare to make a sound, and reluctantly held himself......

Di Renjie cried as he spoke, Wu Zetian smiled slightly, didn't say a word, and only glanced left and right.

Opening a curtain behind the hall left and right, Wu Zetian said to Di Renjie: "Return the prince!" ”

These four words were really like thunder, Di Renjie immediately raised his head, and sure enough, there was a Li Xian wearing a brocade robe and an old and somewhat wooden appearance standing behind the tent.

Fourteen years of exile have washed away Li Xian's arrogance and glitz, and the new purple python brocade robe can't hide his down-and-out image.

Is this really Emperor Gaozong's own son? The former Emperor Zhongzong? Today's Luling King Li Xian? Di Renjie rubbed his eyes, lest he would be dizzy and see the wrong person.

"Your Highness!" Di Renjie took a step forward and asked with tears in his eyes, "Is it really His Highness?" ”

"It's me." Li Xian's voice seemed distant and unfamiliar.

Emperor Wu stroked Renjie's back with his hand and said emotionally: "Qing is not only the minister of me, but also the minister of Sheji!" ”

Then, he turned back to Li Xianzhongzong and said, "Why don't you hurry up and meet the old man!" ”

After Li Xian saluted, Wu Zetian handed Li Xian's hand to Renjie and said, "Elder Guo, give you the future son of heaven!" ”

Li Xian was also stunned when he heard the "future Son of Heaven", and stood there woodenly, not knowing what to do.
