Chapter 488: The Wolf Hiding in the Dark

The late Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were both energetic men who left many heirs. And out of management and prevention considerations, of course, it is impossible for such a large number of royal men to stay in Chang'an City, after all, this year has not developed a long-term management mechanism like the Song Dynasty to guard against thieves.

From the reign of Emperor Taizong to the current reign of Emperor Li Da, the number of clans who died because of the rebellion is probably in double digits, and while the people are withering, the remaining children of the clan are naturally mostly honest and responsible. Although the eldest grandson Wuji, who liked to take the emperor's relatives and relatives, is dead, but now he is holding the power of the more powerful Empress Wu, as a child of the clan, bowing his head to his ears is naturally better than the sound of a battle.

At the night banquet in Furong Garden that night, in addition to the civil and military officials and envoys of Fanbang and the meritorious princes, there were two extraordinary figures, that is, among the many concubines of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, two of them are famous for their talents - Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Shen, the king of Ji, known as Ji Yue. Although Cao Wangming's flying white hand is famous, it is still much inferior to these two, and Cao Wang Li Ming went to Caizhou to assassinate the history a few years ago, so only these two brothers of Li Zhi's generation happened to be present at this time.

Coincidentally, among the fourteen sons of Emperor Taizong, Li Zhenxing, the king of Yue, was the eighth, Li Zhixing was the ninth, and Li Shenxing, the king of Ji, was tenth, just crowded together. However, now that Emperor Li is not in good health, these two seem to be younger than him, and they are called a talker and laugher in the next seat, and they are completely young.

King Ji Li Shen and the eldest princess of Linchuan were born to the same mother, and their mother Wei Guifei had a good relationship with Empress Wu when she was alive. And the eldest princess of Linchuan is a person who often goes in and out of the palace, so this time when the Empress Wu was celebrating her mother's birthday, she thought about inviting King Ji again and again, which can be regarded as allowing the two sisters and brothers to reunite. As for Li Zhen, the king of Yue, since the world is called Ji Yue, there is no reason to favor one over the other, so Li Zhi was also invited.

The wine has been drunk, and the climax of singing and dancing has passed. Of course, Li Xian will not stay at the table all the time. Naturally, they began to string up their doors everywhere. And since the uncle and uncle are here. He had no choice but to sit there and toast two glasses, and after a while, he came to Murong Fu's seat, and sat down next to the people.

"Division...... Master! ”

"I haven't been able to take care of you kid lately, how about it, is the life of Chongwen Pavilion still good?"

"With the prince taking care of me, Your Majesty and Niangniang have also given objects, and no one dares to bully me."

Of course. There is a sentence that Murong Fu didn't dare to say, this Li Xian is famous, and even he is looked down upon, it's good if people don't hide when they see him, who dares to provoke him? Now, it's a little difficult for him to even find someone to practice.

Li Xian asked and looked around, and after receiving a reply, he lifted the wine urn next to him. Poured the wine bowl in front of Murong Fu to the full. All of them are people of different races who have returned to the Tang Dynasty. The only thing in common is that the status is not too high, and the meaning of protons is very strong, so most of the drinks and dishes served to them are mainly based on local customs. For example, in front of Murong Fu was a leg of mutton. I have to say that the chef's kung fu is very good, the leg of lamb is grilled golden and crispy, which makes people quite appetizing.

Li Xian picked up the knife next to him and cut off a large piece and sent it to his mouth, and poured a bowl of wine to drink it himself, as soon as the wine entered his throat, he suddenly sighed: "Why is this wine so strong?" ”

Murong Fu replied in a low voice, "This is the wine that Ke He Dun just ordered someone to send from Tuyuhun. ”

Ke Horton? The eldest princess of Honghua? Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and saw that many people around him were also quietly looking at this side, so he pointed out: "Don't be so angry in the future, you were named because of me, secondly, because you are the adopted son of the eldest princess of Honghua, and thirdly, because you are the prince of Tuyuhun." After that, I changed my words, I can't call my mother, I can call my mother! ”

For this kind of command, Murong Fu was really stunned for a moment, and finally nodded. Li Xian then said a few words, and finally waited for the royal driver to return to the palace and let him go to the Yongwang Mansion to find him, and then got up to leave. However, as soon as this one walked on the front foot, it didn't take long for two people to sit down on the vacant seat next to Murong Fu.

"Prince Su Lumo, you are really lucky to be protected by His Royal Highness King Yong of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

Although he is silent in Datang, it does not mean that Murong Fu is a fool, and the strong ridicule in these words can certainly be heard. Glancing left and right at the people on both sides, and figuring out their costumes, he immediately recognized that this was the costume of the Western Turks. Although due to the successive deaths of the Western Turkic Khans, the Western Turks as a state no longer exist in the overall sense, this does not mean that the people of the Western Turks are all dead.

"You're here for Li Shalu?"

The words jumped quite a lot, so Murong Fu's sudden question made all the men stunned on the spot, one of them was about to get angry, but the other stretched out his hand to stop it, and his fierce eyes looked at Murong Fu's face for a while: "Since my father was captured, I have always wanted to meet that King Yong, but I was disappointed after seeing it. I heard that you are his apprentice, and it seems that I have underestimated you. Naduman, let's go! ”

The two men came and walked quickly, which immediately caused a commotion around them. Although he is not the chairman here, he can sit here and represent an extraordinary identity, and even if he is a proton, he needs to have the sensitivity to listen to the six directions and see all directions. For example, opposite Murong Fu, a middle-aged man in a purple robe fell into deep thought. On the other two sides, three or four groups of people quietly left the table, not knowing where to discuss things.

Li Xian returned to his seat all the way, and it happened that the eldest princess of Linchuan pulled Li Shen, the king of Ji, to toast Mrs. Rongguo. Although this Li Shen is not very familiar with today's birthday star, who is the eldest princess of Linchuan? Not to mention the atmosphere in three or two sentences, Mrs. Rongguo said it with a smile, and even the emperor and queen on the side were also embarrassed. When she and Li Shen came to Li Xian's side one after another, Li Xian stood up on the ground, and the crown prince Li Hong also hurriedly pulled Li Xian and Li Xulun.

"Your tenth uncle will return to the fiefdom in a few days, I will buy wine in the house tomorrow, and any of you will come over to accompany you if you are free. By the way, the prince doesn't have to work hard, otherwise if something happens to me, I won't be able to pass the ninth brother's level! ”

This undoubtedly means that everyone has to go except the prince! At this moment, except for Princess Taiping, whose face was full of excitement, everyone else had a bitter face. In the official praise and other messy rewards, the eldest princess of Linchuan has always been recorded as a representative of gentleness and frugality, women's virtue and women's merits, but in fact, as long as you are familiar with it, all will know that what virtue is empty words. As the predecessor and half-master of Li Yanniang and Qu Tushenruo, if this one is a model, he will have a ghost!

Since he couldn't refuse, he had to agree, Li Xian agreed with the consciousness that he stretched out his head and shrunk his head with a knife, and Li Xian and Li Xulun had no way to push it. And Li Lingyue threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess of Linchuan and made a lot of requests, all of which were agreed with a smile. During the whole process, Li Shen, the king of Ji, who has always been sharp and good at dealing with people, has been watching with his mouth wide open beside him, and he can't see the virtuous appearance praised by the world at all.

It was easy to send the eldest princess of Linchuan away, and Li Xian let out a long sigh of relief, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead by the way. It was the height of summer after all, and even though the banquet was right next to the lake, and even a huge amount of ice was used to cool down, it was still hot. picked up the folding fan and shook it vigorously, seeing that Li Hong was still sitting upright although he was sweating profusely, he quietly pulled it behind his back.

"Okay, it's not you marrying the crown princess today, and it's not your birthday, so you don't need to be so stiff. There seem to be a lot of people who have escaped from the table, and we will also find a place to cool off, anyway, the good show has passed! ”

The first sentence made Li Hong can't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and although the latter sentence is not convincing enough, seeing that other people's attention is really not here, this rule-abiding prince also has a trace of impulse. So, under Li Xian's perseverance and persuasion, he finally borrowed the most perfect excuse and escaped with Li Xian.

Leaving the crowded banquet and going into the forest, the sound of people in my ears gradually turned into the incessant cry of insects. The moonlight spilled down through the cracks of the leaves, soft but not dazzling, but the sporadic moonlight was not enough to drive away the darkness in the forest, so Li Xian almost relied on it to keep Li Hong from tripping over the potholed road.

"It's strange that it's only a short distance away, but it's so quiet and cool here." Li Hong wiped his face casually, and the sweat on his hands made him feel helpless, so he simply learned from Li Xian to lean on the big tree behind him, and then said in a low voice, "Actually, Aunt Nine will have a treat tomorrow, and I also want to join in the fun." ”

Li Xian almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears: "Fifth brother, aren't you stupid, I can't hide, you still want to go?" Don't you know that Aunt Jiu's madness is simply unstoppable by anyone, I'm afraid she is also worried that she will forget that you are the prince, so she will not dare to invite you to go! Besides, tomorrow King Ji and King Yue are here, so it's better for you to avoid suspicion. ”

The two brothers stared widely, and neither of them spoke for a moment. For a long time, just as Li Xian was thinking about saying something, a deep voice suddenly came out of the oblique voice. "Is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really bent on going his own way and wants to cut off all our back roads?"
