The court is deep, the palace of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River was the palace of Dakang Liguo more than 100 years ago, after Dakang Liguo, it was Emperor Taizong who moved the capital to the capital, and Jinling became the southern court.

However, after all, Jinling has the spirit of a king, and now after Emperor Xinde lives in Jiangnan, many places in the palace have been renovated, and the current palace looks extremely majestic and domineering.

Prince Long Zhaohuan got off the sedan chair outside the noon gate, and walked all the way to the deep palace from the noon gate, since Xinde was seriously ill, he lived in the Fengyang Palace, and Long Zhaohuan also frequently came and went here, when his illness was at its most critical, he even came three or four times a day, and his "filial piety" was really well known in the palace!

It's just that in the last few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly snubbed the palace, and when Emperor Xinde was terminally ill, there was no filial son to serve, and the eunuchs in the palace would go to the East Palace every once in a while to invite the prince, but Long Zhaohuan could always find a reason to shirk.

Indeed, although there is only such a big place in Jiangnan as there is now in Dakangguo, this is a country after all, the country is troubled internally and externally, and Long Zhaohuan, as the prince of the prison country, is very busy with his daily official duties, and everyone knows this.

In addition, it is not easy for Long Zhaohuan to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, inside and outside the imperial court, the strength of the powerful lords is pervasive, the biggest powerful lord in the south of the Yangtze River is the Lu family, the Lu family not only has Lu Shanchang, but more importantly, the younger generation of Lu Zheng is too aggressive, such a powerful person holds real power, and with a shout, all the powerful lords and wealthy families respond.

What's more serious is that the commander of the Nanfu Army, the army of the imperial court, is also Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng holds the lifeblood of politics and military, and Long Zhaohuan wants to come out of the shadow of Lu Zheng, which is not an easy thing in itself.

Therefore, no matter how many reasons Long Zhaohuan finds, it is reasonable, and there is absolutely no unreasonable possibility! Just like today, at this time, Emperor Xinde needed to rest on weekdays, Long Zhaohuan hurriedly entered the palace, and no one could stop him from going straight to the Fengyang Palace.

It was very quiet outside the Fengyang Palace, only two little eunuchs were listlessly guarding the door, and they could smell the incomparably strong smell of medicine from afar, Long Zhaohuan strode over, and the two eunuchs heard the footsteps, and immediately solemnized, and said:

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Long Zhaohuan didn't look at the two of them, he waved his hand, and went straight in, looking at the threshold, Leng Buding was alone in front of him. Seeing that this person was wearing a Taoist robe, standing tall, looking at the fairy wind and bones, he was very generous.

Long Zhaohuan was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Xu Tianshi, and the Heavenly Master came to the Fengyang Palace today, could it be that his father's body and bones have taken a turn for the better?" ”

Xu Tiandao laughed, stroked his beard with his hand, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is all Your Majesty's blessing, Your Majesty is full of vitality, after such a long period of suffering and hardship, the dead wood is spring, and it has vitality again." Your Majesty is able to speak, read, and eat today! ”

When Xu Tiandao said this, Long Zhaohuan's expression froze obviously, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Really? Father, you are truly blessed with heaven! ”

Long Zhaohuan said this, and the person immediately walked into the hall quickly, in the warm pavilion of the hall, Long Zhaohuan sat on the bed, he closed his eyes slightly, his expression was serene, but a pair of eyes looked slightly dull.

Long Zhaohuan immediately knelt in front of him, bowed three times and bowed nine times, trembling all over, bursting into tears with excitement, and said: "Your Majesty, Erchen finally saw you wake up, this is really the blessing of my great health and the blessing of the country!" Erchen ...... Erchen has kowtowed to you! ”

Emperor Xinde's dull gaze swept over Long Zhaohuan, coughed lightly, his lips moved but he didn't speak, Xu Tiandao on the side said: "Your Highness, you can calm down, although Your Majesty has woken up, but your body and bones have not fully recovered, you come to see him, Your Majesty is happy, but you may not be able to speak, so Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself!" ”

Long Zhaohuan knelt on the ground and looked up at Emperor Xinde, and it wasn't until half an hour later, when Emperor Xinde was still in that sluggish appearance, that he stood up and slowly approached.

He approached Emperor Xinde, supported Emperor Xinde with his hand, and said, "Father, Father, do you still recognize your son?" Erchen is Zhaohuan! If you could recognize it, you would wink at your son......"

Long Zhaohuan said this for a long time, Emperor Xinde did not react, Long Zhaohuan slowly let go of his hand, sighed, and then suddenly looked at Xu Tiandao and said:

"Master Xu, how are you in this hall? This palace seems to have said before that during His Majesty's serious illness, no idle people are allowed to enter the Fengyang Palace, this hall is for the use of his father's illness, not a place for Heavenly Master to cultivate alchemy, Heavenly Master, can you remember the words of this palace? ”

Long Zhaohuan turned his face when he said that he turned his face, he turned his face directly at Xu Tiandao, look at his expression, a prince's style, the attitude shown by that posture is that if Xu Tiandao dares to say half a word, he will immediately let people take Xu Tiandao down, or even destroy him completely.

Xu Tiandao's attitude was very calm, and said: "Your Highness, you misunderstood, the poor Dao also came by edict, Your Majesty was still in the situation before, let the father-in-law pass the edict, and the poor Dao did not dare to slack off, so he came to investigate!"

Now that His Highness has come down, the poor road will leave! ”

After Xu Tiandao finished speaking, he saluted Long Zhaohuan, Long Zhaohuan sneered, and said: "Go and cultivate your immortal path, this Fengyang Hall is the place where the father and king live for the rest of their lives, and they don't need those so-called rivers and lakes routines that are smoky and miasma!" ”

Xu Tiandao didn't hear Long Zhaohuan's cynicism, he was just about to turn around and leave, Emperor Xinde, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly became excited, but seeing his eyes to the side, his hands were moving, and he shouted "Yaya" at Xu Tiandao, looking at his attitude, obviously not letting Xu Tiandao leave.

Xu Tiandao hurriedly stopped his steps, Long Zhaohuan took a step forward, grabbed Emperor Xinde's arm, and said, "Father, you are really old and confused, do you still believe in such a wandering Taoist at this time?" In the eyes of Erchen, this fang is a character in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know how much he deceived you in the palace, and you still miss him? ”

Emperor Xinde became more excited, Xu Tiandao hurriedly approached, Long Zhaohuan's face turned blue, and he shouted outside: "Someone! ”

Immediately, a few eunuchs hurried in, and Long Zhaohuan pressed Emperor Xinde on the collapse with one hand, and said to several eunuchs: "Quick, Your Majesty has committed mania again, come and protect Your Majesty!" ”

Several eunuchs hurriedly approached, and after Long Zhaohuan handed Emperor Xinde into their hands, he suddenly stood up, stared at Xu Tiandao with his eyes, and said, "Heavenly Master, what are you waiting for?" Is it true that you have to wait for the main palace to completely turn around? ”

Xu Tiandao hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, poor Dao will leave quickly!" After Xu Tiandao finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated quickly, Long Zhaohuan stared at Xu Tiandao's embarrassed back, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Haha!" He laughed and turned his head suddenly, at this time Emperor Xinde's emotions seemed to be under control, he sat on the couch, like a clay carved wood sculpture, and then looked at his expression, his head was full of silver threads, the whole person was already skinny, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said to several eunuchs:

"You have to take good care of Your Majesty, and this palace will see other idle people in this palace again, hmph, be careful that this palace wants your life!"

Long Zhaohuan said these words, turned around and left, this was the last time he entered the palace as the crown prince. He knew very well that after leaving the palace this time, he would act immediately, and it wouldn't be long before he would have people invite Emperor Xinde out of this hall, Emperor Xinde didn't care about life or death, it would be difficult to enter the inner circle of the palace in this life.

In his life, it is not easy to survive to this point, Long Zhaohuan has survived to the age of half a hundred, fortunately, everything is fine, and what awaits him will be a bright and smooth road.

Besides, after Xu Tiandao walked out of the main hall, he did not go far, but went directly to the Taiji Palace, at this time, the chief eunuch had already burned incense from his father-in-law, and all the arrangements here were cleaned up! Xu Tiandao saw the Dan furnace of the Warm Pavilion, and hurriedly looked away, and then he saw a figure who had been discussed the most in Jiangnan recently, and at the same time did not appear in front of the public, when the first assistant of the court, Lu Shanchang, Lord Lu.

Lu Shanchang also saw Xu Tiandao, he stepped forward and said, "Is the Heavenly Master here too?" Your Majesty......"

Xu Tianshi smiled slightly, pointed outside, Lu Shanchang turned his head and saw two other people, one was Gu Tiansheng of the Gu family, and the other was Chen Zhiqian of the Chen family, all of them were old people, and only three of the four families in Jiangnan were left.

The three of them were old foxes, and at this moment, they could meet here, almost just by looking at each other, and they could probably understand what might happen at this meeting today.

Just when they were puzzled, the father-in-law walked out of the warm pavilion without moving, and said, "Your Majesty Xuan Xu Heavenly Master, Xuanshou Fu Lu, Auxiliary Minister Chen, Lord Gu are here!" ”

Xu Tiandao took the lead in the front, Lu Shanchang and the other three followed him, and after the four mermaids walked into the warm pavilion, the warm pavilion collapsed, Emperor Xinde sat upright, looking at his face, although he was thinner than before, but his spirit was not bad.

In addition, the "Majesty" in the Fengyang Hall just now had a dull gaze, but at this time, Emperor Xinde's eyes were very attentive, and he had a kingly bearing that looked down on the world!

Xu Tiandao gasped, subconsciously his legs were weak, he immediately knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, Xu has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Shanchang and the other three also knelt on the ground and saw Emperor Xinde together.

Emperor Xinde smiled faintly and said to them: "Calm down, Senior Brother Xu, you have worked hard for the past few days, and you are walking in the hall over there every day!" The current situation has to be like this, I am the emperor today, and I can't keep it anymore! Look at this situation, it's so dangerous, Senior Brother Xu, sometimes I have to do it as a last resort! ”
