Chapter 67: Branches
Xuan Shijing received the words sent by Li Chengqian, and smiled bitterly in his heart, why is it Yanlailou again, and Li Ke is also coming over, a prince, a Wei king, plus a Shu king and a marquis, four people, three and a half children, and a pure child, ran to the Qinglou, Rao is Xuan Shijing came from that colorful modern age, and he couldn't bear the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Xuan Shijing is finally going to see this virtuous king Li Ke who has a strong stroke in history, Li Ke's current title is only the King of Shu, but the name of being able to be good at martial arts has spread in Chang'an City, like Li Tai, Li Ke was also left in Chang'an by Li Shimin, although he was named the governor of Yizhou, but Li Shimin's word was not an official, and Li Ke was exempted from the hard work of going to Shu. From this aspect, it can be seen that His Majesty Li Er is very fond of the relationship between father and son, as long as his son does not go too far, His Majesty Li Er is still very fond of his sons.
Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in the study, spread out a new piece of paper, took the contract he had written, and copied it again. The appointment between the prince and the king of Wei is for this paper contract, since Li Ke is also coming over, even if it is a gift, anyway, there are two little saplings behind the prince and the king of Wei, and he doesn't care about one more Li Ke, Xuan Shijing still has a good impression of Li Ke, who has never met, so he doesn't care about the property in his hand to give out an extra share, anyway, as long as the money in the Hou Mansion is enough, it is useless to give up more, this Xuan Shijing thinks more than anyone else, and he also knows that the money that is distributed is also indirectly into the Internal Affairs Office, Li Chengqian's East Palace was originally linked to the Internal Affairs Office, Li Tai lived in the Wude Palace, and Li Ke also lived in Concubine Yang, and the food and clothing of the two were all covered by the Internal Affairs Office.
As for the Internal Affairs Office, the Internal Affairs Office is equivalent to His Majesty Li Er's private treasury, to put it bluntly, the money distributed will still fall into the hands of His Majesty Li Er in the end.
After writing and drying the ink, Xuan Shijing put the four contracts together, pressed them on the bookcase with paper, cleaned them up, and went back to the room to rest.
The next day, after Xuan Shijing got up, accompanied by Long'er, he wore a thin shirt and practiced the five-bird opera twice in the yard, and suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body.
"Long'er, it's spring, and I don't need such a thick coat." Xuan Shijing looked at the heavy coat on his body and said.
"Little Hou Ye, it's not time to put it up, you sweat so early in the morning, you are the most susceptible to wind cold, this spring wind cold is the most difficult to treat, if you are infected, you will be uncomfortable for a long time." After Long'er put on Xuan Shijing's coat, she pressed it together in the middle of her hand, covered Xuan Shijing tightly, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"But you're holding me like this, I'm hot." Xuan Shijing was a little crying and laughing.
"After a while, the little marquis, you will enter the house, and you don't need to wear it when the sweat is gone, just wear a thicker coat."
"Long'er, this afternoon I made an appointment with the prince, the king of Wei and the king of Shu to meet in Yanlai Tower, you take Gao Jun and a few good people in the house to Yanlai Tower in advance, and secretly look at the point, which of these three makes a mistake, and our house will not survive." Because Li Chengqian's three identities are also special, Xuan Shijing has to be vigilant, although Chang'an City is the imperial capital, but because of this, it is even more mixed, yesterday Li Chengqian sent someone to pass the word, and also said that this time he left the palace and the officials of the East Palace did not know where he was going, so the prince was out of the palace in a small service, and he would definitely not bring anyone with him, let alone go to a place like Yanlailou.
Then again, why did Li Chengqian choose such a place, he was really not afraid that those people in Yushitai would find him.
Hearing this, Long'er nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will report this matter to Steward Zhong and let him arrange it together." ”
After breakfast, Gao Jun drove a carriage to the palace with Xuan Shijing and Long'er, and halfway through, he met several chamberlains and guards.
"It's the car of the Marquis of Xuanwei in front." The chamberlain asked loudly.
Xuan Shijing parked the carriage five miles away in front of the chamberlain, and responded, "Exactly." ”
The chamberlain arched his hand at the carriage: "By the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, come to greet the Marquis of Xuanwei." ”
Long'er lifted the curtain of the carriage, Xuan Shijing walked out of the carriage, looked at the attendant standing not far away, and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invite me over?" ”
"Back to the Hou Ye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Hou Ye Xuanwei doesn't need to go to the Hongwen Pavilion to listen to the lecture today, he has already asked for leave from the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice, and let the little one take you directly to the East Palace." The chamberlain replied respectfully.
Straight to the East Palace? Xuan Shijing was puzzled, so why did Li Chengqian send someone to the mansion yesterday to spread the word that he was going to Yanlailou for a reunion?
"Ben Hou knows." Xuan Shijing looked at the people in front of him expressionlessly: "I will enter the palace in a while, and go directly to the East Palace." ”
"Master Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already sent a carriage, you can take the carriage directly to the East Palace." The chamberlain said.
Xuan Shijing looked up behind those people, and there was really a carriage behind those guards, judging from the soft yellow curtain and the ebony-colored car roof, it was indeed a royal carriage.
Xuan Shijing looked back at Long'er, and Long'er also had a grim face.
Gao Jun looked at the silent two groups of people inexplicably, and the atmosphere was very delicate.
Xuan Shijing didn't speak, just looked at them like this, time passed minute by minute, and as time passed, the guard behind the inner attendant showed a hint of urgency on his face, which made Xuan Shijing even more suspicious.
A team of Jin Wuwei walked in the distance, and at this time, the leading chamberlain also looked a little flustered.
Xuan Shijing had been staring at this group of people, and seeing his expression like this, he knew in his heart that this group of people must have used the name of the crown prince, as for what they wanted to do, just think about it with their toes.
"You said that the prince sent you, but there are tokens." Xuan Shijing asked.
Seeing Xuan Shijing's question, the chief attendant secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only gave us an oracle, and there is no token. ”
"Really?" Xuan Shijing's face softened: "Long'er, Gao Jun." ”
"Yes." The two responded loudly.
"Take them down." Xuan Shijing said lightly.
"Yes."
Gao Jun jumped out of the carriage directly, and Long'er got out of the carriage and jumped to the ground.
Gao Jun took out two Tang knives from under the frame of the carriage, grasped one in his hand, and threw the other to Long'er. Since these two knives were specially prepared by Gao Jun since the assassins came to the palace last time, they have been hidden under the carriage when they traveled, and they have been put to use today.
Long'er took the knife, held it in her hand, and together with Gao Jun, slowly forced towards the group.
When the group saw this posture, they didn't know whether to fight or not, and they all looked at the inner servants led by them.
The chamberlain looked at Jin Wuwei, who was about to come, and then at Long'er and Gao Jun, who were holding Tang knives, and decisively ordered: "Withdraw." ”
Xuan Shijing's eyes narrowed, since he came, he had to leave one anyway, he dared to use the royal name in Chang'an City in broad daylight, this group of people has a lot of background.
"Long'er, Gao Jun, capture the leader alive, and the rest of the people don't have to pay attention." Xuan Shijing commanded.
Long'er and Gao Jun nodded together, and rushed towards the inner servant who was the leader.
