Zhao Heng learned from the mouths of the eunuchs Zhou Shaozong and Duan Li that the news of Liu Min's death in the chaotic army was told by Lu Chengyu, the master of the horses; So he and Zhang Qi rushed to the Horse Mansion to find Lu Chengyu.

The Horse Mansion is near Yanfu Palace, and Zhao Heng and Zhang Qi entered the Mansion; But I saw that the houses were neat and tidy, and the buildings were lined up; The garden is lush with grass and trees, and butterflies and bees are dancing.

Seeing Zhao Heng walking hurriedly, Zhang Qi couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, since we have come to the Horse Mansion; Why don't you take a look at Princess Shuyuan, Princess Shuyuan is your sister! ”

Zhao Heng sneered and said, "Zhang Qi, you didn't say this, isn't finding the master of the horse the same as finding Princess Shuyuan?" We asked Master Ma about Liu Min's true situation, and by the way, we couldn't see Princess Shuyuan! ”

Zhao Heng said with a heartfelt voice: "Now Sister Shuyuan is the princess of Pingyang, and the concubine must be in Pingyang Palace; Let's go straight to Pingyang Palace, we will definitely see the two of them! ”

Pingyang Palace is the place where Lu Chengyu and Princess Shuyuan sleep, and the reason why it is called Pingyang Palace; That's because Shuyuan is the princess of Pingyang canonized by the emperor.

Shuyuan is 5 years older than Zhao Hengda, and she has been in a very happy mood since marrying Lu Chengyu; Because Lu Chengyu is not only both civil and military, but also looks dignified and talented.

Lu Chengyu's academics, experience, strength, and self-cultivation are all one head above the crowd, and Princess Shuyuan admires them so much.

But Princess Shuyuan didn't know that the girl in Lu Chengyu's heart was Liu Min, and all her feelings were poured into Liu Min.

The problem is that the emperor recruited Lu Chengyu to be a concubine and married the eldest princess Shuyuan to him; Lu Chengyu could only helplessly let the flowers fall and share his feelings for Princess Shuyuan.

From a female point of view, Shuyuan is not the kind of flying and domineering Hedong lion roar; is a little girl who depends on the bird, and Lu Chengyu naturally treats her well.

Lu Chengyu became a concubine and became one of the royal families; But the emperor ordered him to lead the army to capture Liu Min, and Lu Chengyu knew that Liu Min was already the concubine of King Xiang after Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, after coming to Bianliang; Although the relationship between Zhao Heng and Liu Min was not recognized by Song Taizong and Mrs. Qin Guo, the relationship between the two was already difficult to cut off with a thousand swords.

Song Taizong did not admit that Liu Min, the "daughter-in-law", was not as simple and "unpleasant" as Mrs. Qin Guo thought; He understands this matter from the perspective of the safety of the imperial court.

Song Taizong felt that Liu Min was very likely to be the second Wu Zetian who plagued the Great Song Dynasty, and did not kill him in the bud; The foyer of the Zhao family will suffer.

Another point is particularly important, that is, Liu Min may be the daughter of the emperor's former concubine Liu Mo and the chief of the guard Li Min.

Once Liu Mo and Li Min's girls become princesses of Xiang, they are not luring wolves into the house; Harmful for 10,000 years? Liu Min will kill the enemies who persecuted his biological mother and father one by one, what a terrible thing!

Song Taizong is this a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain? Zhao Guangyi is the emperor, and he shouldn't be a villain!

However, there are no wonders in the world, and the villains in the world do not seem to be all grass people; Villains in high positions abound.

Measuring villains and gentlemen by the nobility and humility of power and status can only be "blinded by a leaf, and you can't see Taishan; Two beans plug the ears, and do not smell the thunder. ”

Why did the emperor spare no effort to send officers and soldiers to arrest Liu Min, Princess Shuyuan naturally did not understand the secret; But Lu Chengyu and her are close to me, and Princess Pingyang has no time to take care of Liu Min's affairs.

Early this morning, the master of the horse went out of the house; said that Liu Min died in the chaos and did not find his body, and he was going to look for it.

When the horse master left Pingyang Palace, Princess Shuyuan only felt lonely and unbearable, so she picked up a copy of the Book of Poetry and read it.

When I read the happy part, I couldn't help but chant:

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Jagged wattles, left and right flowing.

My Fair Lady, I covet it.

I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it.

Leisurely, tossing and turning.

Jagged wattles, picked left and right.

My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano.

Jagged wattle, left and right.

My Fair Lady, bells and drums.

Hearty laughter sounded outside the door, and there was no doubt that the laughter came from Zhao Heng's mouth.

Zhao Heng and Zhang Qi came to Pingyang Palace and did not go in, but went around the house to see if the horse master was not in the palace.

Without waiting for Zhao Heng and Zhang Qi to go around Pingyang Palace, they heard Princess Shuyuan's poetry coming out of the palace, and Zhao Heng laughed first: "Ahaha-sister Shuyuan has become Cai Wenji's second?" actually recited "Guan Ju"! ”

Princess Shuyuan stopped chanting and stood up, and saw the maid Que'er come in and report: "Princess Pingyang, the third prince has come to visit!" ”

Princess Shuyuan is the eldest daughter of Song Taizong, and her mother is from Pingyang, Hedong, so she was named Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang heard that Zhao Heng was coming, and heard hahaha's laughter again; went out, and sure enough, he saw that Zhao Heng had already walked into the main hall accompanied by the little servant Zhang Qi.

Princess Pingyang shouted from afar: "How come Brother Chang has time to come to Pingyang Palace today?" ”

Zhao Heng walked up to Princess Pingyang and still smiled: "Xiao Wang misses Sister Shuyuan, so I'll come over to take a look!" ”

Princess Pingyang asked Que Er to make tea and pour water, while the sister and brother drank tea; Princess Pingyang chattered endlessly about catching birds and insects in the garden of the Jin Wangfu when they were children.

Zhao Heng heard Princess Pingyang mention the past, and couldn't help but be worried: "De Chong, the commander of catching birds and insects back then, is crazy, and mentioning the past of catching birds and insects can only make people sad!" ”

When Princess Pingyang saw Zhao Heng say this, she lowered her head and wept silently; Zhao Heng asked: "Sister Shuyuan, why don't you see your sister-in-law Lu Chengyu?" ”

Princess Pingyang saw Zhao Heng mention Lu Chengyu, and then she regained her calm; said: "Your sister-in-law went out early in the morning, he is the commander appointed by his father; Liu Min died in the chaos of the army, but the body has not been found, probably to the scene to find it! ”

Princess Pingyang chattered, and Zhao Heng listened with a gloomy expression; Princess Pingyang once again mentioned that Liu Min died in the chaos of the army, which made Zhao Heng a little unacceptable.

Is Liu Min really dead? Zhao Heng asked himself: If Liu Min dies, then Zhao Heng will become a monk; The father forced the eldest brother to become a madman, and then Zhao Heng may become the second eldest brother; In this case, it is better to prepare in advance......

Zhao Heng naturally spoke faintly, but he saw the sinister and filthy nature of the royal palace from his eldest brother Zhao Yuanzuo; For the sake of his throne, the father did not hesitate to relieve the fourth uncle of his duties and forced him to death, and the eldest brother couldn't understand why his father forced the fourth uncle to death and questioned his father; The cruelty of the father made it difficult for the eldest brother to accept it and became crazy, so Zhao Heng ......

Zhao Hengtian was in reverie, and suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Master Ma is back home!" ”

As soon as Zhao Heng heard that the horse master had returned home, he suddenly came to his senses; Ignoring Princess Pingyang's talk to herself, she got up and ran out of the door.

Zhang Qi ran out of Pingyang Palace one step ahead of Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng followed Zhang Qi and chased after him for a while; I saw Lu Chengyu walking in from the second gate.

Zhao Heng stopped and shouted from afar: "Master Horse!" Sister-in-law! ”

Lu Chengyu looked up and saw Zhao Heng standing not far away and shouting to himself; Hurriedly trotted to him and asked, "Why did the imperial brother suddenly arrive!" ”

Zhao Heng dragged Lu Chengyu's sleeve to a secluded place and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to tell the truth, did Liu Min die in the chaos!" ”

When Lu Chengyu heard Zhao Heng say this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded; Grabbed his hand tightly and asked, "How did the imperial brother remember to ask this question?" ”

Zhao Heng said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I'm asking you!" Liu Min really died in the chaos! ”

Lu Chengyu looked around; Seeing that Zhang Qi was the only one nearby, he said bluntly: "Who did the emperor listen to?" ”

Zhao Heng said excitedly: "Xiao Wang asked Gonggong Zhou and Duan Li, and their master and apprentice said that Master Ma personally said in front of the emperor that Liu Min killed Jiang Qing and Yang Guang, and he himself died in the chaotic army!" ”

"The imperial brother learned about it from the mouth of the eunuch!" Lu Chengyu asked and said with a smile: "Gonggong Zhou and Duan Li are not wrong, the lower official said in front of the emperor that Liu Min died in the chaos; But that's improvisation to cover Liu Min! ”

"So Liu Min, she's safe and sound!" Zhao Heng hugged Lu Chengyu tightly with emotion, and said, "Xiao Wang knows that his sister-in-law is lying, but Gonggong Zhou and Duan Li spread the words to Zhang Qi's ears; As soon as Zhang Qi spoke, Xiao Wang was like sitting on pins and needles; I came to the Pony Mansion to ask my sister-in-law! ”

Zhao Heng stretched his neck as he spoke, swallowed a mouthful of foam, and said, "Xiao Wang saw Sister Shuyuan just now, and Sister Shuyuan said that her brother-in-law was the commander of Liu Min appointed by the emperor; I went out early in the morning to check the whereabouts of Liu Min's body! ”

Seeing Zhao Heng say this, Lu Chengyu dragged him behind a big tree and laughed: "The princess is not wrong, Xia Guan said this when he went out early in the morning; It's not looking for Liu Min's body, it's the people who are looking for her! ”

"Where is Liu Min?" Zhao Heng grabbed Lu Chengyu's hand tightly and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, Xiao Wang wants to find her immediately!" ”

Lu Chengyu paused for a moment and frowned and said: "After Liu Min killed Jiang Qing and Yang Guang in Xiwazi, he rushed to Yishu Yuan in Huojiazhuang, Chengxi, and killed Shenyang and Han Fei, afraid that the officers and soldiers would return to Chang'an; I've returned to the Daxiangguo Temple Dayang Silversmith Shop! ”

"It turns out that Liu Min is in the city!" Zhao Hengxin said happily: "Xiao Wang, let's go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to find Miss Minzi here!" ”

Lu Chengyu didn't say anything, stared at Zhao Heng and said: "The imperial brother has no objection to going to the lower official, but Liu Min discussed one thing with the lower official, and the imperial brother wants to know!" ”

"Of course you know!" Zhao Heng said solemnly: "Liu Min and my sister-in-law discussed something!" ”。

"Go to Western Xia to destroy Li Jiqian!" Lu Chengyu said in a depressed mood: "My father's border policy was seriously wrong, and he wanted to borrow Li Jisheng to suppress Li Jiqian, but after Li Jiqian fled to Jinze, he took refuge in the Liao State and became more and more powerful; Recently, we have been constantly attacking our borders, and the people on the border are in dire straits! ”

Lu Chengyu said thoughtfully: "Recently, there has been bad news at the border, saying that it is a disease of unknown origin; This is a highly contagious disease that has already killed many people, and Liu Min plans to rush to the border to treat the disease and save people; I hope that the lower officials will ask the emperor to lead the army to conquer the Western Xia, and she will rush to the border nine people in the army! The lower official has promised Liu Min that he is ready to make a copy to the emperor and lead the army to ......"
