The city of Chang'an in this era was the first large city in the history of the world to reach a population of one million. In addition to residents, royal families, dignitaries, soldiers, slaves and miscellaneous servants, Buddhist monks and nuns, and Hu people, the total number of merchants, envoys, foreign students, and overseas monks from all over the world will not be less than 30,000.

At that time, as many as 300 countries and regions came to Chang'an and Tang Tong.

It can be said that Chang'an City was the world's cultural and commercial center at that time, and it was in the limelight for a while.

Although Su Hudong is the princess of Hui, the most prosperous city she has ever seen is only the governing state of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Lingzhou is already an enviable and prosperous place in her mind, but compared with Chang'an, Lingzhou has undoubtedly become a small thing

The main business areas of Chang'an City are concentrated in the east and west cities. Feng Ma slowly walked through the West Market, the rows of shops and the density of the flow of people, the visual impact brought to Su Hudong is so strong that there are no words to describe it.

Although Su Hudong didn't say anything, the look in her eyes flashed, which already proved the violent emotional fluctuations in her heart

Li Yu and Guli Peiluo talked and laughed, and walked side by side, and suddenly turned around and glanced at Su Hudong, Su Hudong's beauty and exotic customs made him amazed at first sight. If Su Hudong was not the side concubine of Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning, who was about to get married, Li Yu would definitely ask Li Hengjing for marriage

Seeing Su Hudong's left hand looking at Gu Pan, Li Yu couldn't help but smile lightly, but he raised his hand and pointed to a grand mansion not far away, and said loudly! "Princess, that's the Yongning Palace!"

Su Hudong's face tightened, and he turned his head to look, but quickly looked away again, and continued to look at the surrounding street scene

Li Yu originally took the opportunity to talk to Su Hudong, but he didn't think about it, but Su Hudong was indifferent and ignored him, and he couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed

Guli Peiluo frowned, glared at Su Hudong, but then hugged his fists and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu don't blame my daughter for not seeing the world, and it is the first time to come to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know the etiquette and ask His Highness for forgiveness!" ”

Li Yu gave a smile and hid his embarrassment and a trace of shame, "The Khan said that after the princess married into the Yongning Palace, there will be time to play in this Chang'an City in the future, and the Khan Xiaowang will lead you into the imperial city!" The imperial court held a banquet in the Mingde Hall of Xingqing Palace to wash the dust for the Khan and his party! ”

Cui Ying learned that Li Tengkong kicked and injured Zhang Qing and was taken away by the people of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen It was already twilight

Zhang Zhang hurriedly came to report, and Cui Ying's face changed greatly when he heard the report.

"Tension, what's going on? Why was it so dignified that 1 empty child was taken away by the people of Jingzhao Mansion? Cui Ying Huo Ran got up and asked loudly with a frown

Zhang Li smiled bitterly and replied, "According to the people of the Li family, it was Li You who owed Zhang Liangdi's younger brother Zhang Qing a loan shark outside!" Then Zhang Qing took people to the Li family to force debts, and the little lady of the Lin family, who also had to take Li You's concubine to pay off the debt, was present at the time, and stepped forward to stop it, but Zhang Qing actually moved his hands and feet, and the little lady kicked Zhang Qing when she was angry."

"But Zhang Qing's guy really didn't kick it, and he actually fell into a coma, and the princess Zhang Qing was a well-known evil young man in Chang'an City, and he made it clear that he set a trap to let Li You get in, and the forced debt was pretended to be a concubine who wanted to forcibly occupy Li You, and it was true!"

Cui Ying's delicate face instantly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth! asked in a low voice, "How much does the Li family owe Zhang Qing?" As for the trouble to this extent? ”

Zhang Zhang hurriedly glanced at Cui Ying's face and said softly, "Thirty times."

"Only thirty dollars?" Cui Ying was stunned for a moment, and then sighed faintly, "Sister Kong'er is really just thirty yuan and just send someone to send the money, why bother to meet this kind of evil again."

Know, needlessly provoke this kind of trouble! ”

Cui Ying and Li Tengkong get along tightly, and their temperament is not multiplied! knew that Li Tengkong was definitely unwilling to take money from the palace, and he was even more unwilling to involve himself because of the Li family's affairs

"Zhang Li, you quickly go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to meet the young Yin Malu of Jingzhao Mansion Anyway, Sister Kong'er is from our Yongning Palace, and she is Mrs. Langjun, and the people from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion are really presumptuous, and they start arresting people without asking?"

"Bring Sister Kong'er back first, and then the slave family will bring some gifts to visit Zhang Qing in Zhang's mansion, and it's not a big deal. What else do they want? ，”

Cui Ying is calm-hearted, unwilling to make a big deal and wants to settle the matter, in her opinion, no matter what, Li Tengkong is a person from Yongning Palace, Zhang Xuan's woman don't say that there is a reason for the incident, even if Li Tengkong is a little wrong, but the Zhang family or the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen can still not even give this face?

Zhang Zhang is the chief housekeeper of Yongning Palace, and he is also the number one person in Chang'an City, but Zhang Zhang was ordered to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to ask to see Yin Malu, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, but he ate a closed door

Ma Lu also learned afterwards that it was his old boss Yongning Wang Zhang Xuan's wife Li Tengkong, the youngest daughter of the former minister Li Linfu.

Ma Lu was startled, and when he felt that this case was very tricky, the words of his immediate boss, who was also the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, reached the words of Pingzhangshi, the secretary of the Tongzhong Shumen, and Zhang Jiyong, the secretary of the household department, asking him to severely punish the gangsters according to the law, even if she was from the Yongning Palace.

What to do? Ma Lu was in a dilemma, neither daring to disobey Zhang Jiyong's fate, nor daring to offend the Yongning Palace, like sitting on pins and needles.

Li Tengkong was "placed" by him alone in a quiet room in the backyard of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and a maid was specially sent to wait.

Zhang Li didn't see Ma Lu just now, so he hurried back to report to Cui Ying.

Cui Ying heard that Ma Lu was closed door, even if it was with her peaceful temperament! I couldn't help but be furious.

She got up with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Zhang Li, prepare a gift, and go to Zhang's Mansion with me again." ”

When Cui Ying rushed to Zhang's house, Zhang Jiyong, the old lady of the Dou family and other close relatives of the Zhang family were visiting Zhang Qing's room.

After the adjustment of the imperial doctor, Zhang Qing finally woke up, but it was due to the lack of qi and blood, excessive fright, and some brain collisions, resulting in a coma, which was fine.

Hearing that Princess Yongning was visiting, the old lady of the Dou family frowned and said softly, "Jiyong, just look at it as an old man, forget it" is also a bastard, and he ran to someone's house to make trouble for a mere thirty yuan? I also want to rob other people's concubines...... In any case, Li Tengkong is the little lady of Zhang Xuan, the king of Yongning, and the face that should be given is still given. ”

"For this little thing, there is no need to make a feud with Zhang Xuan." The old lady of the Dou family added...... "Princess Cui is here in person!" You go and meet it, don't be too rude. ”

Don't really say it, this old lady is not confused and reasonable.

But how could she know that Zhang Jiyong was originally a person with a heart, and he was worried that he couldn't find Zhang Xuan's handle, like a pigtail that grabbed the Yongning Palace, how could he withdraw easily?

If he really wants to ban Li Tengkong, he can't do it; But Guan Li vacated for a few days! The face of Shanshan Yongning Wangfu is still okay.

Therefore, although Zhang Jiyong promised on his lips, he was indifferent in his heart, and he did not see Cui Ying.

Cui Ying also ate a closed-door soup in Zhang's Mansion, and her face turned pale with anger! When I returned to the palace, I also lost my temper.

Li Tengkong is Zhang Xuan's little wife, but she was locked up by the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, if this is spread, where will the face of Yongning Palace? Now that Zhang Xuan is not in the capital, Cui Ying is in charge of everything in the palace, she thought about it again and again, and resolutely went to Yang Guozhong's mansion.

But Yang Guozhong is currently in the palace to participate in the reception banquet set up by Li Heng for the return of the Khan Guli Peiluo.

Cui Ying waited in the Yang Mansion for more than half an hour, but she didn't see Yang Guozhong, so she had no choice but to return.

Back at the palace, Ma Lu quietly passed through the palace to ask to see him. met with Ma Lu, and Ma Lu's words reminded Cui Ying: Why bother to fight with Zhang Jiyong for a while, Zhang Xuan is currently on his way back to Beijing! At most, most of them will arrive in Beijing in the future, wait for Zhang Xuan to return to Beijing, and see how Zhang Jiyong ends!

As for Li Tengkong, Ma Lu repeatedly assured that he would take care of it properly and would not neglect anything, please rest assured Cui Ying.

……

Zhang Xuan didn't expect that his people had not yet arrived in the capital, and there would be a lot of trouble.

He himself was impeached by Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli and a group of courtiers for several days, and the matter of firearms was caught; On the other hand, his Xiao wife Li Tengkong was arrested by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion because of a case.

In the afternoon of the third day, Zhang Xuan finally arrived in Beijing.

Despite the repeated opposition of ministers such as Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli, Li Heng still insisted on personally leading the civil and military officials to welcome Zhang Xuan's triumphant return.

Li Heng stood under the apricot yellow banner that symbolized the imperial power, and behind him stood the Manchu civil and military ministers in two columns according to their ranks. His left head is Yang Guozhong, Chen Xian, Zhang Jiyong and other old ministers, while the ancient head is Chen Xuanli, Yang Lian and other military generals.

"Your Highness, here." Yang Guozhong smiled lightly and raised his hand to the distance.

On the official road, in everyone's field of vision, an orderly and awe-inspiring team galloped to ∨ Xuan in armor and galloped in the front, and behind him was Li Tan, the king of Jianning, who was also in armor.

Although it is in the middle of a gallop, the formation of the team is not chaotic at all. And the military flag fluttering in the wind whirled in the wind.

"Stop!" Zhang Xuan tightened the horse rope and raised his hand and waved back suddenly.

Hundreds of soldiers immediately stopped their horses together, and their movements were uniform, raising a cloud of smoke and dust

Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, glanced at Ji Heng, and hurriedly strode over.

Li Heng gave a smile, took the initiative to step forward a few steps, and said loudly, "King Yongning...... It's been hard work all the way! Today, the palace led the civil and military ministers to welcome you to Beijing in triumph outside the Kaiyuan Gate! ”
