The so-called order of advance and retreat in Wang Shuwen's mouth is a group composed of relatives and friends of Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, plus the courtiers accepted by the prince and the two kings.

Regardless of whether the prince was intentional or unintentional, the existence of the Donggong Group is indeed an indisputable fact.

For example, Lu Wen, who was trapped in Xibo because of the robbery of the alliance in the past, just passed the Jinshi examination this year and was awarded the orthography of Jixian Academy, and he and his younger brother Lu Rang are both middle cousins of Liu Zongyuan (Lu Wen's stepmother was born in the Liu family);

Another example is the secretary of the provincial school Lang Han Tai, who is a classmate and friend of Liu Zongyuan, and once studied "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" with Liu under Lu Chun in Shinzhou, and has a deep friendship;

In addition, there is also the servant Shi Lingzhun, but also Liu Zongyuan's "deacon", he was in the Bao army before the official of Wu Xianfu, Wu Xue was only recruited back into the court, not only familiar with the northwest border military situation, and Wu's successor Fan Xichao has a good relationship, it can be said that the Donggong Group and the Bao army are in contact with a channel.

Of course, these are the allies developed by Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, and the prince also has supporters in the forbidden army, that is, the two generals Li Jingzhong (Li Shuwen) and Li Yuanchen (Mo Liuhun), who had a secret affair with Princess Gao Guo, the mother of the crown prince and concubine Xiao, and this time Wang Shuwen's most proud move was to activate these two secret sons.

When Er Li acted, other Shenwei generals such as Ling Hujian, Liu Chang, Zhang Wanfu, etc., were either not banned because they were not upright, or they were completely kept in the dark.

And several lieutenants of the Shenwei Army are now even more deprived of control of the team, and they can't restrain or even know Er Li's actions at all.

In the Zhaode Female Crown of Daming Palace, the sons of Shenwei who besieged the emperor were Li Jingzhong and Li Yuanchen's soldiers and horses.

"Don't be afraid, Neizen is completely approved by the ministers and Fang Yue!" Beforehand, Er Li was still on the spot, and he was so cheering up the soldiers.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Wei Ling, Gao Gongshi and Du Shaobao have all agreed to let Your Majesty meditate." In the Shaoyang Courtyard, Wang Ling also tried his best to persuade the prince.

The prince in the curtain cried endlessly, and asked Wang Ling whether this is true or false, if it is fake, we will all have the great sin of death that cannot be atoned, if it is true, then my Tang Sheji is still in the hands of the emperor after that?

Liu Yuxi was in the team, and he didn't say a word, but at this moment, Wang Ling pointed at him and shouted, "The dream is here, Du Shaobao is his elder, and he has also received Du Shaobao's consent!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuxi's face turned pale suddenly, and he was about to say that it was not me, don't talk nonsense, but the scene suddenly rose, and he couldn't defend himself.

Because Wang Ling then said: "Liu Zongyuan, a member of the Ministry of Human Rights and Virtue and Etiquette of the Zhongshu Society, is the connector of the Gao Gong Master, and he has also been agreed; As for Wei Ling, his judge Liu Pi was even a friend of Gao Gongshi in the same year - from this point of view, Gao Gongshi and Wei Ling were completely on the side of His Highness! ”

Then Wang Ling stepped forward, glared at the crown prince Li Yu with his ugly face, and said in a tone that was half agitation and half threat: "With the help of these three princesses, what can't be done?" Your Royal Highness is kind and loving, as long as you can get the edict of Inner Zen and inherit the unification, it will be Your Highness who will be able to enshrine Zen in Dongyue Daizong in the future, but if you delay the time and be restrained by the false father-son relationship, you are indecisive now, and you are hesitant in the future, so that Your Majesty can react, will there be any good ending? It doesn't matter if we die or flow, but how can Your Highness's daughter throw it lightly, don't end up cheapening King Pu or King Tong! ”

As soon as Wang Ling's words fell, the other people in the East Palace all echoed the request, and their voices rose higher and higher.

The crown prince in the curtain trembled, covering his face with his sleeves, as if avoiding this pervasive sound.

Soon, Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling and others came out of the prince's bedroom with satisfied and excited looks.

In the backyard hall, Li Chun's eyes were wide open, and the carved window lattice, through the moonlight and candle flames, was projected on his face, like a tangled chain, and beside him were his wife Guo of Fenyang Wangfu, as well as his biological mother Langya Wang, and the titular eldest mother Xiao.

Regarding the possible changes in the palace, Li Chun had already predicted seven or eight times out of ten.

The women were all crying, and the eunuch of the Yellow Gate, Tutu Chengxuan, took two steps forward and crossed in front of Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, like a shield.

On the opposite side is Wang Zhongyan, the envoy of Shaoyang Academy, who is "full of smiles", and Huangfu Xun, the envoy of Shaoyang Huailin Soldiers, and behind him are full thirty Huailin soldiers, all of whom were originally protecting and supervising Shaoyang Academy, and now they are all willing to be used by the prince.

Wang Zhongyan smiled, but everyone knew that he was standing here to spy on Li Chun, and the purpose was to prevent this young but decisive emperor from interfering in the major events at this time.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County knows nothing." Tutu Chengxuan said to Wang Zhongyan.

But Wang Zhongyan still smiled, without the slightest change, like an ice sculpture.

Li Chun stepped forward and suddenly said: "This king understands that my father has done all this for this king, and I am very grateful, and I ask my uncle to return to my father as it is." ”

For Wang Zhongyan, a eunuch in the middle, Li Chun did not hesitate to call him "Uncle".

This made Wang Zhongyan suddenly restrain his smile and look flattered.

Then, the night of Daming Palace returned to tranquility again, as if nothing had happened, but there seemed to be many things in full swing in the dark.

Five days have passed, and the emperor has "disappeared" for five days, but the whole country is not the slightest bit unusual, because now all affairs are decided and executed in the hall.

Gao Yue, on the other hand, stayed in the "Beijing Jinju Academy" in Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province, preparing to rush back to Yangzhou before the winter solstice.

Before leaving, Gao Yue handed Han Yu a few books.

After Han Yu, who had just been appointed as a member of Shangshu Province, opened it, it was actually a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures on Zen Buddhism, and he couldn't help but blush, and said to Gao Yue, "Wei Gongxiu wants to be ridiculed and ridiculed." ”

Gao Yue didn't think so, he said to Han Yu: "Confucius once said, attack heresy, attack heresy, in fact, according to me, this attack should not be understood as 'attack', but should be understood as 'attack' and 'attack on jade', there are some truths and practices in Zen Buddhist scriptures, maybe you can use it when you retreat." ”

These words reminded Han Yu that he was really thinking about it during this time, why since the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism have developed so rapidly, except for the encouragement of the rulers and the foolish faith of the people, is there anything worth learning from Confucianism?

With such emotions, Han Yu still accepted the Buddhist scriptures.

Gao Yue was very satisfied, he encouraged Han Yu and said: "Retreat, through this Zen seal, your Han Sect has also become famous in Beijing, that is, you and Liu Zihou will soon become high-profile rookies, in my absence, you and Liu Zihou should strengthen each other more, and make full preparations for the big debate of the Five Classics and Five Rites in the next few years. ”

Han Yu was flattered and said that he would not forget Wei Guogong's earnest teachings.

At this time, Li Feng, the resident official of the Jinju Academy, walked in and said to Gao Yue, Wei Ling and Du Shaobao are holding a banquet in the Qujiang Pavilion, please Wei Gong, you must come in person.

"Oh?" Gao Yue said with a faint doubt.
