Chapter 388: The Four Heavenly Kings (Part 2)

Taichu Palace, Wucheng Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty.

Zhao Xiang, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, read out the will on behalf of the sky, canonized Li Chongrun as the Duke of Chu, canonized Li Jing as the Duke of Qiguo, and Li Xianhui and other four people also got the title of county lord.

Two men and four women entered the court to receive the decree, entered the side hall to change the color of the title, and then came out to meet the martial queen again, and the ministers also followed the etiquette system to meet the six dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren again.

The holiday is full, tidy up, participated in the court meeting, his prince Zhan Shi is the third product, is the governor of the prince Zhan Shifu, the main responsibility is to edit the book map, into the lecture to read with the companion, counselor consultant, and the power and responsibility of the palace Lintai, almost the same.

After many years of wandering between civil and military, he finally put on a purple robe.

He followed the crowd, dancing with his hands and praising with his mouth.

Eight-year-old Li Bao'er is the youngest, standing on the side, wearing a grand and luxurious county lord costume, a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, and she takes advantage of her delicate eyebrows and eyes, as in the painting, many old ministers in the front row have brushed their beards, and can't help but show a kind smile.

Li Bao'er's big black eyes looked around, and in the middle of a bunch of bad old men in the fifth row, he saw Quan Ce, who stood out from the crowd, his nose was wrinkled, Ruyu's chin was raised high, his eyelids were turned up, he looked at the golden and brilliant dome, looked at Quan Ce for a while, and then squinted at Quan Ce, and saw that he was calm-looking, kneeling with a wat board in his hand, not squinting, and being upright.

Li Bao'er was very displeased, she was the county lord, from the second grade, the marquis of Quan Ce and the prince Zhan Shi were all third-grade, one level lower than her, she deliberately inquired clearly, her eyes purred, she turned around and became a demon, and ran under the Danqi.

In the hall, Yang Simiao's surprise was not trivial, he broke out in a cold sweat, raised his hand to stop his subordinates from pulling out the horizontal knife, trotted forward, and knelt in front of Li Bao'er, so that she could not go forward.

"Heh, little thing, it's bold" Empress Wu glanced at her, smiled, and raised her voice, "Let her come up"

Li Bao'er knew some severity, and when he stepped up the four steps, he didn't go up, tilted his head, and said glutinously, "Grandmother Huang, Bao'er is the county lord, one level higher than the cousin of the Quan family, can you let him ride a big horse for me?" ”

"Uh, hahaha," the Empress Wu laughed out loud and beckoned, making her come to her and touch her porcelain-like smooth and pink cheeks, "Tell the Imperial Grandmother why you have to ride the horse of your cousin in the Quan family?" ”

"Because, because of ......" Li Bao'er was stumped, thought about it for a long time, had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out, "Because he is good-looking, and he still has the ability"

"Hahaha" Empress Wu laughed even louder, and a little arbitrary, she is a life, all the inadequate, all in the successor, her children and grandchildren, should have this ambition, who is good-looking, who has the ability, who will ride under her, instead of letting people play with the palm, she looked down at this porcelain doll-like villain, her heart was filled with some sincere love, and it was rare to say softly, "I gave you a title, can you let the power to ride a big horse, but it depends on your own ability, step down"

Li Bao'er seemed to understand whether she understood or not, obediently turned around and got off the Danqi, took the hand of the eldest sister Li Xianhui, and bowed to the Empress Wu to retire.

Passing by Quan Ce's couch, Li Bao'er couldn't take a step, wrinkled the bridge of her nose, and "hummed" vigorously before exiting the hall.

Quan Ce smiled politely, his heart was like a dry well, there was no fluctuation, and his whole mind was now on the white sandalwood.

Subsequently, the Yushitai forwarded the Jiangnan Provincial Observation Envoy Feng Junheng's recital, but he was not a hit, and he impeached four assassins in one go, greedy for money and profit, cruel and tyrannical, internal and external domains, and many crimes, complete human and material evidence, all of which are tightly matched iron cases, please deal with them strictly.

The ministers fell into a dispute again, divided into two factions, disagreed with each other, and could not hold each other, but the Empress Wu did not rub sand in her eyes, disposed of the courtiers, never tolerated mercy, and decisively approved the edict, ordered the shackles of the car, and escorted the four people into Beijing to await trial.

Quan Ce watched coldly, and it was Wei Wen and Wu Sansi who interceded for the four assassins, and it was the henchmen of the Lintoe Hall who demanded strictness, obviously Feng Junheng began to use knives against the forces of King Luling, however, he didn't believe it, and took great pains to send Feng Junheng to Jiangnan Province, just for the sake of these scarlet-robed officials in the corners.

Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, intended for Pei Gong, after this round of attacks, there must be a back-up move waiting.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Quan Ce slowly paced and went to the aggressive Lintoe Palace.

Now that he has returned to the court on leave, it is time to walk around the two places where he hangs his official position.

"Champion Hou, why is it too late?" In the square in front of the palace, there are two young nobles, and an old eunuch, one of them is Li Longji, the king of Linzi, and the other is Li Longfan, the king of Baling.

"Minister, meet the two highnesses" Quan Ce bowed.

Li Longfan seemed to have deliberately stepped forward to help, Li Longji slowly raised his hand to stop him, and stared straight at the back of Quan Ce's head who was bent over, his expression changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Longji's henchman eunuch Gao Yanfu was beside him, anxious, but he didn't dare to make a sound, somehow, the scene in front of him reminded him of the scene when the king of Linzi forced the king of Quan Ce to kneel at the housewarming banquet in the past.

"Champion Hou, please get up," Li Longji finally spoke.

Quan Ce was steady, slowly stood up straight, and his hands were indifferently clasped in his sleeves, "Your Highness, the minister is going to visit the emperor's heir, and he is out of company."

"The champion is slow, I heard that Erlang of the Quan family is a lieutenant in the Wei Liushou Yazhong, everything is okay?" Li Longji has a deep meaning.

Quan Ce's brows tightened, "Thanks to His Highness's inquiry, Erlang is young, but he is just following the post, and with Wei staying behind to teach, there must be no mistakes."

"Wei Liushou is indeed a good teacher, he recently intends to play a sparse performance, and then mention the matter of the king leaving the palace to open the palace, but it is not convenient, the champion Hou thinks that it will be presented by Quan Zhu instead, how about it?" Li Longji pressed forward step by step.

Quan Ce was surprised, "Such a major matter, how can a courtier be good at it, I am willing to play on behalf of His Royal Highness to the emperor's heir, and respectfully ask the emperor's heir to decide"

Li Longji choked and flicked the sleeves of his robe, "But you don't have to work your father, the champion Hou is invited, the winter is cold, and the wind in Chang'an is strong, so it is better to remind Quan Zhu to be careful."

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness" Quan Ce bent down, saluted like a ceremony, and a fierce look in his eyes quickly swept by.

When Li Longji walked away, Quan Ce turned around and walked towards the Lintoe Palace, his feet walking heavily and firmly.

The emperor's heir, Li Dan, descended to greet him, with a smile on his face, very happy, and entered the palace with the arm of Quan Ce, "There is a big man in my curtain, the real mother emperor is graceful, and my Hongfu is also"

"His Royal Highness has too much reputation, and the minister does not dare to be" Quan Ce also made a friendly appearance.

"Da Lang is modest, martial arts, take the four seas as his own responsibility, I have always been rewarding, Zhan Shifu is just a academy, you don't have to think about it, you can do your best, if you have time, come to the main hall, I talk with Da Lang tea, and also dye the talent of the first person of the royal family, hahaha" Li Dan smiled very happily.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion" Quan Ce hurriedly thanked him, he really didn't want to come more, but it had nothing to do with Li Dan, but he didn't want to see Li Longji's rampant ambition.

"Da Lang's trip to Chang'an, leaving a song of Xiao Xiao Ban Ma Ming, in which the ancient and far-reaching artistic conception has been ...... by extraordinary people" Li Dan talked about poetry, and Quan Ce responded modestly on the side.

Deep in the inner palace of the Taichu Palace, the armory, the place where the confidential archive is kept.

Xie Yaohuan was intently flipping through a book book, with four big black characters written on the cover, tribute.

The slender jade fingers stopped, and her eyes lit up.
