Xilingyue nodded: "Yes, because the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" that has been handed down now has been deleted and altered by Empress Wu, the prince and I both suspect that Qi Changtian discovered something from it by chance, so we misunderstood, thinking that King Teng had a rebellion." ”

Guo Yan listened, and suddenly thought of one thing: "Speaking of which, King Xianteng has six sons who died at the hands of Empress Wu. ”

Xiling Yue heard about this for the first time, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Guo Yan then said: "Back then, Empress Wu usurped the Tang Dynasty, and took precautions against the Li Tang royal family, and killed many children of the clan, including the six sons of King Teng, all of whom had titles, and were killed by the cool officials of Empress Wu. ”

"Are these things related?" Xiling Yue hurriedly asked, "Could it be that they were killed by the Empress Wu?" ”

Guo Yan shook his head: "It's hard to say. However, according to your words, Wang Li and Qi Changtian have both been to Hongzhou, so it can be seen that this matter is still related to Hongzhou Tengwang Pavilion. Now the first thing is to go and see what is going on there, so that we can find out the identity of the so-called 'Your Highness'. ”

"It is said that the Holy Lord has sent someone, but there is no news yet." Xiling Yue spread her hands.

"No conflict, the saint didn't have any clues at that time, and he must not find anything suspicious. Now that we have a lot of information, maybe the outcome will be different. ”

Hearing Guo Yan say this, Xilingyue was also full of enthusiasm and volunteered: "I'll go!" ”

"No way!" The father and son of the Guo family refused in unison.

Guo Yan first said: "You are a girl, you can't go." ”

Guo Zhongting also persuaded her: "What did the prince say to you yesterday? ”

Xilingyue was suddenly deflated and asked Guo Yan: "Okay, then do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

"Yes."

"Who?"

At the same time, Li Chengxuan also took Xiao Yi into the palace together.

Xiao Yi thought that he was going to face the saint first, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, my status is low, let's find a place to wait for you." ”

Li Chengxuan looked far away and looked at the corner of the eaves in the distance: "I didn't plan to see the saint." ”

"Then you are ......"

"Go directly to Tutu Chengxuan."

Tutu Chengxuan, Fujian people, eunuch. He entered the palace as a young man, and served in the East Palace when he was still a child, and later because of his intelligent temperament, he was promoted by the emperor to the doctor of the Imperial Court; When he arrived at the Holy Lord, he was appointed as the crown prince, and he became a regular servant and a governor of the inner servant; Until the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he directly sat down as the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army because of his meritorious service.

The lieutenant of the Guardian Army is the supreme commander of the Divine Ce Army of the forbidden army in the palace, and all the generals of the Divine Ce Army are under his command. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Tutu Chengxuan has mastered half of the defense of the entire Daming Palace and even Gyeonggi Province and Guannai Province, and it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

A eunuch, who never entered the stream, became a lieutenant of the Zhengerpin Protector Army, and became the first celebrity around the Son of Heaven, and it only took 20 years for Tutu Chengguang to be revealed. Because the Son of Heaven favored him too much, in addition to giving him an official residence in Xiuxiangfang, he even opened a single palace in this Daming Palace for him, and his food and clothing in the palace and the money of the palace people were all borne by the harem. Therefore, Tutu Chengguang lived in the palace all the year round, and the official residence of Xiuxiangfang and his other private residences were lived and maintained by his family.

And all this is only because the Holy One wants to see him at any time,

Consult with him early in everything.

Xiao Yi originally thought that Tutu Chengguang could be favored by the Son of Heaven, and he must be a sloppy and clever appearance, but he didn't expect that the person he saw looked like a middle-aged idler, wearing a dark green suit, and was standing in the courtyard teasing two caged birds. Only he has no beard, a slight rickety back, and still has the characteristics of a eunuch.

Li Chengxuan didn't let people know, and walked straight into the courtyard with Xiao Yi, bypassed the wall, and greeted Tutu Chengxuan: "Lieutenant Tutu, this king is disturbed." ”

When Tutu Chengguang saw the visitor, he was not overly flattering: "Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, is everything okay?" ”

"TOEFL, everything is fine." Li Chengxuan said with a smile.

Tutu Chenghuang smiled with a three-point smile, looked at Xiao Yi beside him again, and said, "This Langjun is ......"

Xiao Yi immediately gave up his hand: "Xiao Yi, a grass man, has seen Lieutenant Tutu." ”

Tutu Chengguang seemed a little surprised when he heard him call himself a "grass people": "Such a talent, there is no such talent?" ”

Li Chengxuan introduced in a timely manner: "Xiao Jiming, the future son-in-law of the school inspector Sikong and the Pinglu Ziqing Festival envoy. ”

Tutu Chengguang should have heard the inside story of Li Shidao's selection of a son-in-law, and when he heard the words, he showed three points of understanding, and praised with a smile: "Li Sikong has good eyesight, and he wants to be able to serve the imperial court in the near future." ”

His voice is extremely thin, and at first glance, it seems that he has been "castrated" for a long time, and he still has the tenderness before the teenager's voice changed. Xu is because he is a high-ranking official, he deliberately lowers his voice when he speaks, wanting to cover up this unusual voice, but Xiao Yi still heard him hiding it at the tip of his ears.

The three of them were a little polite, and then went to the front hall to talk in detail.

After the palace maid served tea, Tutu Chengguang smiled and said: "The prince never comes."

Xia Guan is a guest here, and he suddenly visited today, but he has something important to order? ”

"Guessed by the lieutenant." Li Chengxuan pretended to sigh, "Don't hide it from the lieutenant, the queen mother's birthday is coming, but something has happened in the palace, which makes the king very troubled." ”

"Oh?" Tutu Chengxuan asked directly, "Could it be related to the suicide of the two female officials of the Shanggong Bureau in fear of crime?" ”

Li Chengxuan nodded: "This matter has been hidden from the Queen Mother so far." ”

Tutu Chengguang took a sip of the tea leaves, and then asked: "Does the lower official have any energy service?" ”

Li Chengxuan was also not polite: "The lieutenant should know why this king is here." ”

Tutu Chengxuan is the most powerful eunuch in this palace, and he is also the commander of the Shence Army, and he has the news of the palace and the forbidden army, and he can't hide any troubles in the palace. Obviously, he wasn't ready to pretend to be stupid: "The prince wants to ask about the two hundred gods to change the defense?" ”

Li Chengxuan also took a sip of the tea leaves with the tea lid, acquiescing.

Tutu Chengguang then asked rhetorically: "Didn't the prince find out that the five hundred divine troops who came back from Zhenhai with you are not in Chang'an?" ”

Li Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was still calm.

Tutu Chengxuan explained: "It was Your Majesty who said that Li Qi had opposing intentions, even if he offered the Birthday Gang, he had ulterior motives, and he didn't want this matter to spread in Chang'an, so he sent the five hundred gods out of the army under His Majesty's instructions." ”

Tutu Chengguang said vaguely, but Xiao Yi understood that the current saint not only wanted Li Qi's birth outline, but also wanted to find evidence of Li Qi's rebellion, and also wanted to strike first. But in this way, it will be true, and people who don't know the truth will say that the saint made trouble for Li Qi for his family wealth, not to mention that Li Qi is also half of the clan elders. In order to prevent this kind of rumors from circulating in Chang'an, the Holy Lord transferred the five hundred divine troops away, which is a warning, and I think those people will understand, so they will tighten their mouths.

In the same way, the two hundred divine troops who escorted the birth gang into the palace were transferred, which is nothing more than this reason.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but slander Tu Chengguang Lao Jian for being cunning, and found the saint as an excuse, no one could go to the saint to confront him.

"Don't hide it from the prince, even if there is no message from Your Majesty, the lower officials will transfer these seven hundred people away to change their guards." Tutu Chengguang said again.

"Oh?" Li Chengxuan cherishes words like gold.

"When the county lord of Qizhou came to borrow someone, he made it clear that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother didn't want people to know that she had taken the birthday gift of the important ministers of the four places."

Li Chengxuan was silent for a long time when he heard this, and did not continue the topic. His index finger tapped lightly on the table, and suddenly chuckled: "If this king is not mistaken, Lieutenant Tutu still owes this king a favor." ”

Xiao Yi didn't know what kind of "favor" this was, but as soon as Li Chengxuan's words came out, Tutu Chengxuan's face first tightened, then relaxed, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, the lower officials dare not forget it day and night." ”
