Chapter 446: Entering the East Palace

"Shangguan Shang Palace! Thank you very much for the matter of Gong Ren! Lu Xiaoxian finally seized the opportunity to thank Shangguan Wan'er.

"Don't thank me, thank Your Majesty if you want to thank you! Without His Majesty's approval, even if I come forward, Lai Junchen will not give face! ”

Shangguan Wan'er is right, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's role at the critical moment, Gongren would definitely be a dead end.

Lu Xiaoxian was about to speak, but Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "If you really thank Your Majesty, then help Your Majesty solve a problem!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty is worried that after a hundred years, King Luling, the imperial heir, Princess Taiping and Zhuwu will not be able to coexist and prosper together."

"What's so hard about that?" Lu Xiaoxian blurted out, "I have a brilliant idea? ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were blazing and said, "What idea?" Tell me about it? ”

"You can let the two sides swear together, sue heaven and earth, and make an iron coupon for the oath, so that no one will make trouble and harm each other in the future."

"Flutter!" Shangguan Wan'er laughed out loud.

She is well-versed in literature and history, and she is knowledgeable, and after listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, she couldn't help but feel funny. Talking about the iron coupon of the oath, even the gold coupon of the oath, it can't guarantee that they won't have problems in the future. In history, some heroes were given iron coupons to avoid death by the emperor's master, and weren't they also beheaded in the end? Can such a major life-and-death problem be solved with an iron coupon?

Lu Xiaoxian said meaningfully: "Shangguan Wan'er may think that this method is just to cover people's eyes, but maybe Your Majesty will think that this method is good!" ”

After sending Guan Wan'er away, Lu Xiaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoyi! Thank you! Lu Xiaoxian looked tired.

If it weren't for Lu Xiaoyi's constant transmission of secrets, how could he have been able to deal with the number one talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid he would have already admitted defeat.

……

"I think that's a good idea!"

Sure enough, Wu Zetian listened to Shangguan Wan'er's narration and couldn't help but nod.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly, Lu Xiaoxian really understood His Majesty's thoughts, and thought about everything in front.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this oath......" Shangguan Wan'er asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, let's finish Xian'er's business first!" Wu Zetian said slowly.

The ceremony to welcome the King of Luling was very grand, and all the officials of the court and the relatives of the emperor went. Although Wu Zetian was not present in person, it can be seen that without her consent, it would never have been so grand.

In September, Li Dan repeatedly said that he was ill and said that he would give up the position of crown prince to Li Xian. Wu Zetian officially issued an edict, established King Luling as the crown prince, named Li Dan as the king, Li Dan moved out of the East Palace to the Xiangwang Mansion, and Li Xian officially entered the East Palace.

In order to make a good relationship between his nephew Wu Chengsi and Li Xian, Wu Zetian specially appointed Wu Chenghei as the crown prince.

The faces of the courtiers and the common people also showed a joy that they had not seen for many years, as if the haze had suddenly cracked a big crack, and the sunlight shone directly into the earth through the crack, bringing new hope to the people.

Although Li Xian was reinstated as the crown prince, he behaved like an obedient child and stayed in the East Palace honestly. Fourteen years ago, he lost his throne because of a word, how can he not remember the lesson now!

……

In the evening, Lu Xiao walked leisurely and came to Di Renjie's house.

Di Guangyuan welcomed Lu Xiaoxian into the living room, the wine and food had already been placed on the table, Di Renjie and Ji Ji sat at the table, and the two were chatting and waiting for him.

Di Guangyuan turned around and walked out of the living room, hiding the door outside.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Di Renjie and Ji Xuan, and quipped: "The two prime ministers invited me to dinner together, I, Lu Xiaoxian, really have a big face!" ”

Di Renjie didn't answer, stood up, and solemnly bowed to Lu Xiaoxian: "The prince of Di has thanked Gongzi Lu, and the Li family has made great contributions to inheriting the unification of Gongzi Lu!" ”

I am used to hip-hopping with Di Renjie, but when I saw him suddenly so solemn, I immediately panicked, and hurriedly helped him: "Di Ge's old words are serious, I can't afford it!" ”

In terms of official position, Di Renjie is the first and auxiliary prime minister, and one person is above ten thousand people. In terms of age, Di Renjie is over seventy years old, and he is more than enough to be Lu Xiaoxian's grandfather. It's usually just a joke, Di Renjie is so gifted, he really can't afford it.

As soon as Di Renjie was helped to sit down, Ji Ji also gave him a salute: "The old man has never been so happy as today, and Ji Mou has to thank the son!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly: "Old Jige, how can you get involved, why are you so happy?" ”

"Master Lu! Sit down, and let me tell you slowly! ”

Since Li Xian returned to Luoyang, Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, immediately realized that his matter of being the prince had come to naught, and an evil fire invaded his heart, and the old illness recurred, and he couldn't afford to be sick!

Wu Zetian appointed Wu Chenghei as the crown prince and asked Ji Ji to read the holy decree.

Wu Chengsi dragged the sick body out of bed, hurriedly led everyone to kneel, and as soon as he knelt down, he listened to Ji Xuan's book: "The Ci clan Yue Ancient Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor handmade, dismissed the Prince of Wei from the post of Great Acceptance, and recalled the seal ribbon." Transferred to the position of special advancement, crowned prince Shaobao, admiration! ”

The words were still there, and the envoys of the heavenly officials standing on Di Renjie's left and right had already stepped forward to snatch the seal ribbons held by the subordinate officials of the Wei Palace, and instead placed the two seals of Tejin and Prince Shaobao in front of King Wei.

Wu Chengsi looked at Ji Ji blankly and didn't say a word.

Ji Ji squinted his eyes and coldly urged: "Please thank His Royal Highness King Wei?!" ”

Wu Chengsi was still kneeling on the ground as if he was carved from clay and wood, and there was no movement, and the envoy of the Chunguan who held the festival immediately sang: "Please Your Highness to be flat!" ”

After urging like this a few more times, Wu Chengsi raised his head blankly. Ji Xuan could see clearly, Wu Chengsi was already terminally ill, with a hairband on his head, and his eyebrows were full of death, just staring at Ji Ji in front of him, Yin Yin had to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth and said: "This king hates only hate, I didn't deal with you as an old horseman earlier, and I left you in the world to bewitch the Lord, I only hate ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Ji stepped forward and squatted down, stared at Wu Chenghe's eyes, locked his brows, and twitched faintly under his eyes, interrupting his words drastically: "Long live what a saint today, how can you and my subordinates be blinded?" ”

After that, Ji Ji put the red sandalwood box containing the book in front of the King of Wei, and said in his mouth: "Farewell!" Then he turned around angrily and brushed his sleeves away.

The envoys of the various yamen also followed, and they came out one after another. Only the Wei Wangfu cadres were left, and they cried sadly.

When Yoshiki returned, he learned that after he left, Wu Chengji passed out again.

After that, Ji Xuan still didn't finish his words: "Wu Chengsi can't last a few days, Wu Sansi saw the wind and made the rudder, and expressed his loyalty to the prince early, the Wu family has no worries about continuing to unify, and Li Tang will recover in the near future, this is the will of God!" ”

"Providence?" Lu Xiaoxian leisurely took a sip of food, took another sip of wine, put down the wine glass, and said meaningfully, "Old Ji Ge, you think things too simply!" ”

"Lu Gongzi, what do you mean by that?" Yoshiga frowned.

"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoxian wiped his mouth and said, "My meaning is very simple, it's hard to say whether the crown prince can inherit the throne in the end!" ”

"How is this possible?" Ji Ji was taken aback when he heard this.

"Why can't it be?" Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Ji Ji playfully, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet on it, ......" Ji Ji suddenly remembered the last time Wa Lu Xiaoxian made a bet, and quickly swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach.

Di Renjie heard what Lu Xiao was talking about, and asked cautiously: "Master Lu, do you see any crisis?" ”

"Your Majesty is old, the crown prince is justifiably the prince, and the king of Wei and the king of Liang have no chance. If it is done step by step, after a hundred years of Your Majesty, the crown prince will inherit the unification, and it will be a matter of course. But the problem is ......" Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian paused, "Castles are often breached from the inside, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and some things are unpredictable!" ”

Di Renjiehuo was taken aback: "Master Lu, do you mean King Xiang?" ”

"It's possible, but it's not necessarily!" Lu Xiaoxian was ambiguous.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Ji Ji rubbed his hands in a hurry.

"Don't leak it!" Lu Xiaoxian's unfathomable appearance, no matter how the two of them asked, they just didn't say a word.

A good wine banquet suddenly became depressing and tasteless.

……

Above the Luohe River, the river surface is open, the breeze is coming, it is indeed the coolest and pleasant natural place in Luoyang City, even if there is some sun on the water, it is also covered by the canopy of the painting boat. The painting boats that can cruise on the Luo River are all carved railings and painted sides, silk tents and curtains are competing for luxury, and the boats are all accompanied by music classes, sheng songs, and they are swept on the clear water and clear waves.

At this time, there was a light silk hose on the Luo River, and the music was lingering, but only the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

The ship from which the gongs and drums were heard was tall and spacious, like a floating platform. The people on the big boat naturally didn't care if they were noisy or not, and a group of men and men were shouting and screaming, and they were playing a game of catapult and duck shooting.

Unlike archery, catapults do not shoot bows and arrows, but hard objects such as gold marbles or stones.

The marked bird is released, and whoever hits it with a slingshot is counted.

It stands to reason that this is a men's specialty, but Li Bao'er is the best of them, she holds a slingshot made of bamboo in her hand, and after the wooden duck floats on the water, Li Bao'er shoots it with a slingshot, and no one can compare to her.

Li Bao'er was already beautiful, and with this stunt, Wu Yanji, Wu Yanxiu, Wu Chongxun and other martial arts disciples couldn't help but give their admiration, but Lu Xiaoxian hid aside, like no one was fine.

The more this is the case, the more angry Li Bao'er becomes.

She forced Lu Xiaoxian to the corner of the painting boat and asked very unceremoniously: "Why do you treat me as nothing?" “

Lu Xiaoxian scratched his head and said, "No? ”

"Don't play stupid on me!" Li Bao'er became more and more angry, "Isn't my ejection bad?" ”

"Good! Very good! Lu Xiaoxian nodded thoughtfully.

"Then why didn't you even give a cheer?" Li Bao'er said hatefully.

"What's this?" Lu Xiaoxian said inexplicably, "Your sister is better at throwing pots than you, don't I also applaud?" ”
