Chapter 088 Killing! Crisis! (Above)

The East Palace is celebrating, and a holy edict has been sent out from the Xingqing Palace, asking the crown prince Li Heng to go to the Linde Hall of Xingqing Palace to participate in the banquet presided over by the emperor himself to welcome the ten major feudal towns to Beijing to report on their work.

At this moment, the ten major feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty - Fanyang, Pinglu, Hedong, Shuofang, Hexi, Anxi, Beiting, Longyou, Jiannan, Lingnan, among which An Lushan is also the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong three towns, Shuofang Jiedu is the brother of An Sishun and An Lushan, Hexi Jiedu is Ge Shuhan, Anxi Jiedu is Gao Xianzhi, Beiting Jiedu is Cheng Qianli, Longyou Jiedu is led by Rongwang Li Wanyao, Jiannan Jiedu is led by the prince Li Hengyao, and the Lingnan Wufu Jingluo envoy is Pei Dunfu, a native of Hedong.

Among the ten major festival envoys, in addition to Li Heng's new appointment, An Lushan has the strongest power and is a faction of its own, and An Sishun can naturally be attributed to An Lushan. Ge Shuhan is upright and never forms a party for personal gain, Cheng Qianli is cautious and cautious, and rarely participates in party disputes. Only Gao Xianzhi is the confidant of King Rong Li Wan, and the two have been secretly in contact for several years.

In other words, as Zhang Xuan said, the external help that Li Heng can currently strive for, one is Ge Shuhan, the other is Cheng Qianli, as for Pei Dunfu, the envoy of the five prefectures of Lingnan, because his sphere of influence is too far away to form an effective balance on the Central Plains, so it is temporarily ignored by Zhang Xuan.

Linde Palace, although it is daylight, is also brightly lit.

Li Longji sat in the middle, his spirit was flying and his momentum was awe-inspiring. In the face of this temperance envoy who was in charge of the military power of the feudal town, Li Longji had to pretend to have some momentum even if he pretended, at least to form a deterrent to these military power holders in terms of momentum. And Yang Yuhuan was dressed up to attend, with a gorgeous palace skirt, a beautiful face, and a noble temperament, she sat next to Li Longji, and attracted the attention of all the feudal towns present when she talked and laughed.

And An Lushan's gaze was obviously a little covetous. Only Rong Wang Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi looked calm and talked and laughed. And Ge Shuhan looked at An Lushan coldly, and occasionally met Yang Guozhong's gaze, and then calmly flashed over.

On Li Longji's right is Yang Guozhong, and on the left there is an empty desk, which is obviously reserved for Li Heng. There is also a small desk beside Li Heng, which should be reserved for Zhang Xuan. In Li Longji's command, he also ordered Zhang Xuan to come over to accompany the banquet.

Li Heng and Zhang Xuan were late, and it was no wonder that they, mainly the emperor's dictation, came too late. By the time the two of them arrived in a hurry, the banquet had already begun.

The melodious dance and music in the Linde Hall echoed melodiously, and Li Heng stood on the steps at the entrance of the Linde Palace, suddenly stopped, and his expression was slightly restrained.

Zhang Xuan frowned, and suddenly stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Your Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, don't dare to be disrespectful." Why should His Highness look ahead and cower? ”

Li Heng smiled bitterly, looked back at Zhang Xuan and said softly, "This palace...... That's it, as you said, this palace is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally you must have the bearing of the prince of the Tang Dynasty - Zizhan, enter the palace with the palace to drink and feast! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—" A small eunuch's clear and sharp voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was stunned, and then turned their heads to look at the entrance of the hall together.

I saw the crown prince Li Heng dressed well, smiling, and coming slowly. And behind him was followed by a young man with a handsome face, dressed in a green official robe, and his demeanor was calm.

An Lushan and An Sishun secretly exchanged a look. Rongwang Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi looked at each other and sneered, Yang Guozhong looked at his nose and nose and pretended to be indifferent, only Ge Shuhan and Cheng Qianli looked at Li Heng and Zhang Xuan behind Li Heng curiously.

"The sons and daughters meet their fathers and concubines." Li Heng paid a grand salute.

Zhang Xuan also followed closely and bowed, "Minister Zhang Xuan, meet Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”

Li Longji smiled faintly, "Flat, sit down." Zhang Xuan, Er also sat down. ”

"Father Xie (Your Majesty)." Li Heng and Zhang Xuan sat down together, and then Zhang Xuan got up and looked up, and Yang Yuhuan with shining eyes had an instant intersection, seeing Zhang Xuan's clear eyes with a hint of playfulness, Yang Yuhuan's pretty face Feixia hated in his heart, and secretly glared at Zhang Xuan, and then covered up his gaffe by talking to Li Longji.

Ge Shuhan was the first to get up and saluted Li Heng. followed by Cheng Qianli and Pei Dunfu, An Lushan and An Sishun also smiled and bowed to say hello, "Chen An Lushan (An Sishun) has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Gao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, and had to get up to say hello, "Minister Gao Xianzhi has seen His Highness." ”

King Rong Li Wan finally got up and bowed his hand to Li Heng, "The younger brother has seen the prince's brother. ”

Li Heng smiled calmly, "You feudal towns are exempt from courtesy-I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Wan has lost some weight, presumably it is due to his hard work on state affairs, and it is better to take care of his health." ”

Li Wan smiled reluctantly, "Don't dare, the prince's brother is overrated, and the younger brother is in his position to seek his own government, so he should share his father's worries." ”

Yang Guozhong laughed loudly on the side, "The two highnesses are vying to share the worries of Your Majesty, which is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Exactly, exactly."

"Yes, yes."

An Lushan and others echoed from the side, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the banquet seemed very harmonious and friendly.

……

……

This singing, dancing and drinking banquet was grand and grand, and the time span was also long, which took an hour and a half.

After the feast, it was already dusk and dusk. In the cold wind, Zhang Xuan took the carriage back to the house, he was busy with the affairs of the East Palace for many days and did not return to the house, thinking about the situation at home, so he wanted to go home to have a look.

Before his carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, a fast horse chased after him, and he shouted loudly from afar: "In front of him, there is Lord Zhang Xuan, the secretary of the East Palace, please stay!" ”

The coachman stopped the carriage, Zhang Xuan poked his head out of the car, looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a guard who came galloping on the horse, and said in a deep voice, "Who is you, why do you call this official?" ”

"Lord Zhang, the little one is the guard of the Rongwang Mansion, on the orders of His Royal Highness of my family, please ask Lord Zhang to talk about the Rongwang Mansion." The guard turned over and dismounted, bowed.

"His Royal Highness King Rong?" Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go back and tell His Royal Highness King Rong, saying that this official will go later." ”

Looking at the back of the guards of King Rong's Mansion who came to deliver the message, Zhang Xuan frowned: At this kind of extremely sensitive moment when the mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, why did King Rong Li Wan come to find him?

……

……

At this time, on the official road leading from Zhengde Gate to Suzaku Street, a huge palace honor guard slowly moved forward, looking at the rank-colored banner, it seemed to be Zhang Liangdi, the current wife of Li Heng, the prince of the East Palace. It's just that the Feng Yuan among them seems to be a little non-compliant, and has already caught up with the level of the emperor's concubine.

Gao Lishi was riding a soft sedan chair out of the palace and returning home, and suddenly saw this honor guard, he was a little surprised, so he asked left and right, "Come - is the concubine Niangniang's honor guard out of the palace?" ”

The attendant hurriedly returned, "General Hui, it's not the noble concubine, it's the crown prince Zhang Liangdi." ”

Gao Lishi immediately frowned and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Liangdi? This kind of guard of honor has greatly exceeded the norm...... If it reaches His Majesty, I'm afraid it will involve the crown prince again......"

"Let's go, go home!" Colliers reprimanded flatly.
