In the depths of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, the Zichen Palace. This is the place where Tang Emperor Li Shimin handles government affairs here every day, corrects and reviews the twists and turns.

Inside the Zichen Palace, sandalwood is swirling, and light gauze is dancing. Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat in the hall, and the correction and review were piled up in front of him.

"Knock Knock"

A short, quick, light footstep suddenly sounded in the hall, and it was a eunuch who entered. This eunuch is the personal eunuch of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and he is also the eldest of all the eunuchs in this palace, named Hong Rui, also known as Hong Gonggong.

Li Shimin, who was reviewing the folds, frowned when he heard this slight footstep, and said with a little displeasure: "Didn't you say that I can't make any noise when dealing with government affairs?" ”

When he said this, he had a little bit of dragon power. In the words, it is revealing a majesty.

Gonggong Hong, who made this slight footsteps, heard this displeasing words and an oncoming majesty, and suddenly sweated all over his body, felt a faint coldness coming from his back, and knew that he had just offended. Immediately slow down and lighten the pace, if it is still like Fang Cai, then the next second may be the head of the ground.

Slowing down, walking around without making any sound, and coming to the front of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Gonggong Hong knelt on the ground respectfully, and slowly bowed down. There was a slight cold sweat on his face, and his voice was sharp and neutral:

"It was the old slave who disturbed the emperor just now, and I hope the emperor will give him a sin."

When Li Shimin heard this voice, he didn't raise his eyelids, continued to look at the fold in his hand, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, the people sent to Xihe County came back, and they found out the name of the prince in the portrait." Hong Rui replied cautiously.

"Oh?" Tang Emperor Li Shimin was originally concentrating on reviewing the folds, but when he heard what Hong Rui said, he put down the folds in his hand and looked at Hong Rui and said, "Really? What's that name? Is it surnamed Li? Or is it his last name? ”

"Emperor Qiqi, it's true, this son is still surnamed Li, and there is no surname for him. is named Li Yan, who now lives in the mansion of Tang Liwen Tang County Guard, and also has a handover with the son and lady of the border guard general, Fengyuan General Yang Zhaohua's family. Hong Rui seriously answered the question raised by Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and also explained where Li Yan lives now, as well as the people he knows around Li Yan.

"Oh, you actually live in Tang Liwen's mansion? actually intersected with General Fengyuan's son and miss? When Tang Emperor Li Shimin heard what Hongrui said, he immediately became interested, looked at Hong Rui and asked with a smile.

Hong Rui heard this magnificent Li Shimin's question and answer, nodded, and did not say much, because sometimes, nodding or shaking his head is the best choice. Thinking about it in this situation, it seems that he is asking Hong Rui, but Hong Rui knows that this is not actually asking himself, so choosing to nod is the best choice.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin saw Hong Rui nodding, so he continued to ask: "Did you say that Tang Liwen and Li Yushi have discovered the identity of this Li Yan?" Are there any doubts about Li Yan's identity? ”

When Hong Rui heard Tang Emperor Li Shimin's question, he shook his head directly and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Hong Rui's answer is to kick the ball back to Li Shimin. But he really doesn't know, even if he knows, he won't say much, saying that he knows what will happen if he says more. So sometimes, knowing and not knowing, it's all one sentence, I don't know.

And as the personal eunuch of the Tang Emperor, in addition to taking care of the daily life of the Tang Emperor, he is to do a good job of the things handed over by the Tang Emperor, and pass on some information, and don't ask and talk too much about some other things.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin didn't show anything when he saw Hong Rui returning the ball to himself, but just said with a smile: "I believe that with my aunt's ability, I will definitely find something, what you must know is that when Prince Xian was young, my aunt had the best relationship with Prince Xian, and she can basically be compared with her own brothers and sisters." ”

"And I also have a special friendship with Prince Xian, when I first heard that Prince Xian still had a child alive, Aunt Yushi was also the hardest working one to find someone. Therefore, I believe that Aunt Yushi already has doubts about Li Yan's identity. ”

Hong Rui didn't speak when he heard Li Shimin's words, but just heard it quietly, because this was not the time for him to speak. You must know that what he does is to have seven words: listen more, watch more, and talk less, so that you can save your life.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin saw that Hong Rui didn't speak, and he immediately didn't have much interest. But in my heart, I am also very satisfied, Hong Rui's approach.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin waved his hand lazily and said, "If there is nothing to do, just step down, I will approve it." ”

However, after Tang Emperor Li Shimin waved his hand, Hong Rui still did not leave, but took out two folds and said: "Your Majesty, with this news, there is also an urgent recital of Tang Liwen Tang County guarding 600 miles, please take a look at it." When Hong Rui said this, he respectfully handed it to Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"Six hundred hastened twists?" Tang Emperor Li Shimin was very strange when he heard the news, and he didn't know why it was still six hundred miles to rush to the end. Except for the high strength, if you need to rush the twists, there are no other twists that need to be rushed. Wait, is it? Tang Emperor Li Shimin was taken aback when he thought of this, thinking that this Gao Qiang had already started to make trouble, so he hurriedly took the fold and looked at it carefully.

But after looking at it twice, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart suddenly became a little unhappy, he really wanted to scold this Tang Liwen now, there is nothing to hurry up, I am worried in vain.

However, after watching the whole recital, any bit of unhappiness in my heart disappeared completely, and was replaced by surprise.

He said before that Tang Liwen's family should have discovered something, but what he didn't expect was that he even figured out Li Yan's true identity. What I didn't expect was that it would be so fast.

However, he was also very excited in his heart, he originally had doubts about Li Yan's true identity, but it was because of Tang Liwen's twist and turn that all doubts in his heart were eliminated. Because in Tang Liwen, Li Yan's biological father was also mentioned in the song, that is, Prince Xian, and there was also a description of a jade pendant.

Therefore, Tang Emperor Li Shimin now believes that Li Yan is the son of Prince Xian, because the description of this piece of jade pendant is very similar to the piece on his father's body.

And the reason why Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Li Yan still have doubts is because they can only rely on a portrait, and they can't judge that Li Yan is the son of Prince Xian.

In Tang Liwen's recital, it is to explain everything, so now it is certain that Li Yan is definitely a person from their branch and a cousin who is related to himself.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin finished reading the whole story, and said with a good smile: "I was still saying just now that this Tang County Shou family should have doubts about Li Yan's identity, but what I didn't expect is that they have now figured out Li Yan's true identity. ”

"In that case, then I will draft an order to let my cousin assist Tang Liwen Tang County in guarding Gaoqiang, and his guard commander Chen Meng will serve as his personal guard to protect his safety, and I hope that you will handle Gaoqiang well."

However, as soon as the words of the Tang Emperor Shimin fell, Hong Rui whispered a reminder: "Your Majesty, there is still a book." ”

"Huh? Oh. I was so happy that I forgot that there was another book. Tang Emperor Li Shimin heard Hong Rui's reminder, smiled slightly, and picked up another notebook.

But after picking up this book and looking at it a few times, Li Shimin, who was still smiling, gradually reined in and was replaced by a slight anger. After reading it, after seeing that there was still a piece of paper mixed with the tail, he slowly opened it and looked at it a few times, and slapped his palm on the desk, and said angrily: "This Ma Gui is really bold, as a parent official in Pingyao County, he actually connived at his son to rob the people's daughter, and covered up his crimes for him, it is really bold." ”

"I'm afraid that if I give him a state assassin history, he's afraid that he will forget even his surname."
