Chapter Thirty-Eight: Reunion Is Not Round

Late at night, Shanglinfang, Princess Yiyang's mansion, a person wearing a purple python robe, holding an oil lamp in one hand, and a knife in the other, walking in the corridor, the feet are light and silent, there is a cool breeze at night, the oil lamp is not moving, the knife is like frost, and the cold is overflowing.

The green shadows on both sides of the cloister obscured his face, and he couldn't distinguish his face clearly, so he walked straight into the small courtyard of the unnamed house, pushed open the main bedroom, came to Quan Ce's bed, and slashed with a knife.

"Jedi, Shazha Fu, save me" Quan Ce was terrified and shouted in fear.

"Da Lang, it's a nightmare, Da Lang wake up" Daisy who was sleeping outside rushed in in a cloak, lit a lamp and candle, and shook him awake.

The "master" Jedi quickly emerged from the shadows, and it wasn't long before the other servants in the courtyard arrived.

Quan Ce was shocked, cold sweat soaked his clothes, his face was as if he had been washed with water, and he gasped a few times before he froze his nerves, and his voice was hoarse, "It's okay, you can retreat."

The servants dispersed, but the Jedi did not go far, but sat on the ground and stood guard at the door.

Quan Ce looked at his back, his arrogance was gradually rising, and he was trying to survive in troubled times, he had no extra time to wander in fear, he could only move forward, the guilt was superfluous, and he should take care of those who died and injured for him, Longmen Station was an operation, and the eight horse guards were seriously injured three people, and nearly ten people were killed and injured on the side of Sha Zha Shu.

"Jedi, I'm going to visit the three injured brothers, you managed to arrange"

The Jedi hesitated, and responded, "Yes, master" shook his head slightly, his own master, sometimes ruthless, sometimes a woman's kindness, really, cute.

The eastern capital is a big feast, the pomp is grand, the whole eastern capital Luoyang flower group is splendid, the rich and noble people from all walks of life flock to the road, there are Rui beast incense burners at the intersection of each square market, light the precious sandalwood, the fragrance of the sky permeates the whole city, it lasts for a long time, every 100 meters, there is a warrior who embroiders clothes and armor, there is a monk who beats the wooden fish and recites the scriptures, the Sanskrit sound is curling, it is like the Buddha country on the ground, tens of thousands of koi fish shuttle back and forth in Luoshui, the spring is cold, the willow has not yet returned to spring, each merchant will make a bronze medal with its own name, bundle it with red satin, hang it with branches.

As far as Quan Ce is concerned, the etiquette has little to do with him, and he only needs to accompany his entourage and stand on duty.

On the first day, the Empress Wu served the crown of the court, Zhizhen Gui was the first offering, Ruizong was the second offering, the nine-year-old prince Li Chengqi was the final offering, and successively worshiped Haotian God, Li Tang Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong three generations, and then the three generations of the first king of the Wei State, Wei State refers to the feudal state of the father of the Empress Wu, and then the Wufang Emperor's seat. After the worship was completed, the Empress Wu arrived at the gate of heaven to announce the amnesty of the world and change the Yuan Yongchang.

On the second day of the first month, he accepted the envoys of the ministers in the Ming Hall to congratulate him.

On the third day of the first month, nine instructions were promulgated in the Ming Hall, requiring the courtiers to abide by the courtiers' tracks, and then feasted the ministers.

“…… The Queen of Heaven takes Mingtang as the place to worship her ancestors and the residence of the government, and she legislates by herself and uses it to suit her needs...... Zhengdan feast with Confucian etiquette, supplemented by Buddhism, Taoist ritual system, solemn and sacred, unrejoined, unheard of, in the present to see, the ministers are all convinced and admired"

Quan Ce's record is not exaggerated, nor is it embellished, and the political show of the Empress Wu's fancy renovation absorbed the elements of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism that were beneficial to her, and intensified the propaganda with incomparably vast and solemn ceremonies, which dazzled the civil and military officials, or panicked by their own ignorance, or confused by the original intentions of the sages, and were powerless to resist and refute.

After the martial arts, the Buddhist scriptures and the knife were raised at the same time, changing customs and customs, punishing the unsubordinate, and the authority was flourishing, and the golden road to the emperor's throne became more and more flat.

On the fourth day of the first month, the Empress Wu summoned the Northern Ya Yu Linwei, Qiancai, Qianniuwei and Hanlin Bachelor, Tongshi Sheren, Fengge Sheren, Left and Right History and other imperial civil and military officials, and gave another banquet, and then issued a large-scale order to change the seal and seal the system, the princes of the Li family generally continued to maintain a year is not as good as a year of the trend of separation, from Kyoto is getting farther and farther away, the lot is becoming more and more deserted, most of the positions received are changed to remote collar, no longer serve as pro-people officials, the only exception is Xu Wang Li Sujie, he was awarded the title of King Yu, led the history of Yuzhou Thorn, near the side of the couch in the eastern capital.

In addition, there is an accident, the princess of Yiyang, the head of the princess's house, was awarded the title of the county lord of Ruyang, according to the Tang system, the daughter of the prince is the county lord, and the daughter of the prince is the county lord, Ruyang, is the seat of Caizhou Prefecture, and it is also the base camp of the rebellion of Li Zhen, the king of Yue.

Li Sujie and Princess Yiyang immediately resigned, but neither of them was allowed by the Empress Wu, and ordered Julang to go to the two mansions to convey condolences.

This is not a very serious order, Empress Wu gave a serious order, the power policy can only be implemented, he doesn't have to run to two families, several brothers and sisters of the same mother rarely get together, and agree to have a banquet at Princess Yiyang's mansion.

First public and then private, the right to stand firm at the top, "Tell Princess Yiyang, King Yu, Lord of Ruyang, the national public instrument, its own regulations, all the lords are rewarded, and those who have merit get it, although I have the world, I have never abolished the public because of private affairs, and so on, uphold loyalty and filial piety, each in its place, and work hard to serve, in order to match the name and reality, and do not live up to my intentions"

After the oracle was conveyed, Quan Ce hurriedly helped up a group of elders, and the little Quan Basket lay on the ground in a small ball, ignorant, crawling with his hands and feet, Quan Ce reached out to scoop her up, and held her in his arms, "My family is late, and now I am the county lord, four grades older than the eldest brother."

Kwon opened his toothless mouth and giggled sweetly.

"It's a good blessing for a long time, I have a good brother, if it weren't for my son's meritorious service on the battlefield, how could there be such a good thing" This was not said by Princess Yiyang, but Princess Gao'an, she never cared about anything else, as long as the people around her were happy, everything else didn't matter, just in the arms of Quan Ce, teasing Quan Xiao babbling and talking, laughing and laughing.

Everyone sat down in turn, Quan Ce glanced around, the joy gradually disappeared, uncle Li Sujie hung his arm, wrapped in white gauze, father Quan Yi frowned, with a frightened face, cousin Wang Hui's face was like gold paper, coughing from time to time, walking was not easy, and one of the three families had a male who was unwell, all thanks to him.

The pillars were not in good shape, and the atmosphere of the banquet was tepid, only Quan Luo, Quan Zhu and a few younger children of Li Sujie were making fun around their aunt Princess Gao'an.

"Da Lang turned his text with martial arts, and he was in front of the queen of heaven, can he still adapt?" Li Sujie has a long face, with an obvious depression in the middle of his chin, and his bearing is calm, without the arrogance of a nobleman, and he treats people warmly and kindly.

"It's okay for the child to dance and write, and there is no discomfort" Quan Ce avoided the question of the queen before driving.

"That one named Hu Chang is the backup of Dongdu Qianniu?" Li Sujie still mentioned this, he was either suspicious of anything, or he wanted to know if there was a nephew in the strange things that night.

"Exactly, it was originally under my command, and there was no personal relationship, and then the child was transferred, and the capital was important, and there were a lot of taboos, so it was not good to ask about the affairs again."

Li Su nodded, didn't ask any more, and turned to care about Wang Hui, "How is the injury?" ”

"The leg injury has been healed, but it has injured the internal organs, and it will take several months of conditioning to heal" Wang Hui gasped and seemed to be a little uncomfortable when he spoke, and the injury was not light, "By the way, Da Lang, I met Wu Shilang the day before yesterday and invited you to come over the house for a gathering."

Under the right strategy, Li Sujie was puzzled, and Quan Yi opened his mouth to explain, "Wu Shilang is a local official and Wu Youji, this gentleman is mellow, does not love power, and is willing to do business and buy real estate."

"Even so, he is a martial artist after all, and he must also pay attention to proportion" Wang Miao nodded two sentences, "Businessmen are cheap, don't be addicted to Dalang"

Quan Ce repeatedly said yes.

Li Sujie swept over everyone's faces one by one, full of emotion, "In the past, in the foreign domain, the prosperous and lively places always felt insufficient, but now in Beijing, I feel that although the distance is plain and withered, it is better to be pure and leisurely, and the greed of human nature is insufficient, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

"Sujie, the Spring Festival, Hugh should be so disappointing" Princess Yiyang was the eldest sister, and reprimanded, "Of course it's a blessing to come back, Yuzhou is very close, it's easy to move around, if Gao An also moves to the Eastern Capital, it will be better"

"Okay, okay, I miss my sister from time to time......" Princess Gao An hugged Quan Luo, who was already asleep, and happily agreed.

"Uh-huh" Wang Miao coughed and interrupted her, "Moving is not a trivial matter, besides, my nephew is on an errand in Chang'an, we are all gone, and he is left alone, isn't he lonely?" ”

Gao An's raised willow eyebrows fell weakly, and he nodded with a pout, "It's the same, I still have to take care of Da Lang, fortunately, the two capitals are not far away, and Da Lang will be an official in the Eastern Capital in the future, I'll come again."

Quan Ce smiled lightly, Wang Miao has a good way of dealing with Princess Gao'an, he is reluctant to leave Chang'an, I am afraid that it is not just for himself.
