A New Year's Eve and a big court meeting, His Majesty Li Er was busy with his feet on the ground, but he survived the first day of the new year, and the courtiers all went home to celebrate the festival, and His Majesty Li Er had leisure time to accompany the eldest grandson Empress and her sons for a walk in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty." A man in a blue round-necked cloth robe walked up to His Majesty Li Er and bowed.

"Bai Ze? What's the matter? "It's rare that His Majesty Li Er has the kung fu to accompany his wife and children, and when he sees this person coming to disturb, he is not angry, because this person is one of his secret guards, and he will not come to him if there is nothing to do on weekdays.

"Your Majesty, the Xuanwei Hou Mansion was assassinated last night." Bai Ze hugged his fists and bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Huh? Assassin? Do you know where it came from? Li Shimin asked with a frown.

Bai Ze shook his head and said: "This subordinate doesn't know, three of the assassins were stopped when they entered the mansion last night, and the other five fell all the way to the back garden, it seems that Xuanwei Hou Ye and Miss Long'er were walking in the back garden, and the two tigers raised by the Hou Mansion also subdued the two assassins, and the remaining three were captured alive and are now doing miscellaneous work in the mansion." ”

"It doesn't seem to be a great person." Li Shimin said with a smile: "I was even subdued by two tigers, but this matter must not be careless, I asked you to go to the Hou Mansion to take care of Jing'er secretly, and you must not let anything happen to him." ”

"Yes, I understand." Bai Ze nodded.

"You go down first, continue to pay attention to the movements of the Hou Mansion, and by the way, find out who wants to be unfavorable to Jing'er."|Li Shimin ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that if there is only one minister, while taking care of the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that I will be a little powerless." Bai Ze looked at Li Shimin with hesitation: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty to send additional people to investigate this matter." ”

"Well, you continue to guard the Hou Mansion and investigate the matter, and I will arrange another person to investigate."

"Yes." Bai Ze took the order and left.

"Your Majesty, you can guess who is targeting Jing'er like this." Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin walked forward and said: "I really can't think of this, Jing'er is still a child, she stays in the Hou Mansion all day and doesn't go out, let alone the sin of anyone, this matter is a little strange." ”

Empress Changsun followed by His Majesty Li Er's side and spoke: "Although it is not in broad daylight, but sending assassins to enter the Hou Mansion at night to kidnap the nobles of the dynasty is so perverse, if it is found out, it will be severely punished, and this wind will not last." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Indeed, the imperial capital of Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is so blind, it is a great luck that Jing'er was not harmed this time, Guanyin, did you hear just now that the three assassins who were caught by the Hou Mansion are now doing miscellaneous work in the Hou Mansion." ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "The concubine thought that His Majesty hadn't noticed it, it seems that His Majesty doesn't need to send someone to investigate this matter, and the people of the Hou Mansion can do it themselves, which also saves Your Majesty's effort." ”

"Hahahaha~~" His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly: "Mingde and their family, there are not a few simple characters, in the past four years, Bai Ze has been lurking in the Hou Mansion without being discovered, this Bai Ze is also a talent." ”

Empress Eldest Sun chuckled, turned around and said to Li Chengqian, who was following behind: "Chengqian, you go to the Hou Mansion in the afternoon to see Jing'er." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Li Chengqian responded.

"Big brother, I'll go with you." Li Tai also said out loud.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai, a hint of incredulity flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded: "Okay." ”

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun returned to the Lizheng Palace, while Li Chengqian and Li Tai went to prepare some things to take to the Hou Mansion.

In the Lizheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er sat on the couch, and Empress Changsun personally poured hot tea for him.

"Your Majesty, after walking outside for so long, drink hot tea to warm up."

His Majesty Li Er took a sip of the tea bowl, exhaled a breath of hot air, and put down the tea bowl in his hand.

"Guanyin, why did you want Cheng Qian to go to the Hou Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, the concubines are to deter those who are young, and the more fanfare Cheng Qian goes, the better the effect, so that those who hide in the dark and want to attack Jing'er also have a scruple." Empress Eldest Sun sat on the other side and said.

"But the Hou Mansion left three assassins as miscellaneous servants, isn't it just to lure the snake out of the hole, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it here." His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said thoughtfully.

"The concubine knows, this matter must not be rushed, you have to take your time, you have to do enough drama, Your Majesty cares so much about Jing'er on weekdays, if the Hou Mansion is assassinated, but the palace has no reaction at all, if Your Majesty is the person behind this scene, what will Your Majesty think."

His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized and praised: "It's still Guanyin's thoughtfulness." ”

"However, Cheng Qian went to the Hou Mansion this time, and the concubine found an unexpected gain." Empress Eldest Sun was smiling, and her expression was full of love.

"Oh? You mean...... Blue Sparrow? ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded: "Exactly, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs all day long, have you ever found that there is always a gap between Qingque and Chengqian?" ”

Why is that? I haven't found out. His Majesty Li Er asked puzzled.

"That's because the two of them have never shown it in front of His Majesty, and the matter between the two of them, the concubines have also guessed eight or nine, and this time to go to the Hou Mansion is also an opportunity." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"Guanyin, don't sell Guanzi, come and tell me, what's going on?" His Majesty Li Er's face was inquiring.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the confrontation between Wude and Dou Jiande's 100,000-strong army in the fourth year?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin.

"I remembered." As soon as Empress Changsun said this, Li Shimin remembered, got up from the couch, and sighed: "When you say this, I also guessed a little, when I returned to Chang'an after a big victory, Cheng Qian told me about it, but I ignored it, presumably over the years, Qingque was a little unable to think about it." ”

"Yes, it is not difficult to see from Qingque's attitude towards Jing'er that he does still have nostalgia for the things of the year, but this time he is willing to go to the Hou Mansion with Chengqian, which shows that Qingque wants to let go of this past, and the gap between Qingque and Chengqian should also be dissipated, in fact, over the years, the two of them, as long as one person is willing to take the initiative to talk to each other and explain and explain, they will not be unfamiliar for so many years, but the temperament of his brother and son is like enough for His Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun also stood up from the couch and walked to His Majesty Li Er's side.

"My son is like me, it's not unusual, this stubborn temper, hahahahaha, comes out of the same mold as me." Li Shimin listened to the words of Empress Changsun, and for the first time felt that his two sons were so cute.
