Day 2

Inside the Zichen Palace

"Uncle, you see what title I should give Mo'er, and where should I divide it."

"Pheasant slave, have you forgotten that I have now resigned from my retirement to retire? Don't bother with the affairs of the court. ”

Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji are discussing Li Lingmo's title of prince and nominal fief.

"Father, uncle, don't worry about my title and fiefdom, in fact, the best way at the moment is for me to leave me completely away from the capital after the weak crown ceremony."

I saw Li Lingmo walking in from the side door, and said with a smile, the situation in front of him was also what he was happy to see, and it did not happen all kinds of things in history, Li Zhi did not demote his own uncle from the capital, but let him live in the capital for a long time.

"Mo'er is here! Choose your own title! After all, no matter how you say it, you are the heir of my Li Tang royal family, and you still have the honor you deserve! ”

When Li Zhi saw Li Lingmo coming, he beckoned him to let him decide for himself, and he talked about the rice paper with the title written on the table

"But Dad, I want to say it in advance, so that the historian does not record any information about me in the annals."

"Mo'er, why do you say this, I really don't understand"

"Dad, you will know in the future, I think Dad, you will give me the title of King of Chu or King of Qin! Dad, you should know that we have to guard against those open guns and hidden arrows in the royal family, so the less you value me, the farther you assign me, the less I will be remembered by those who have a heart. ”

"What the pheasant slave said is that the royal family has never lived a peaceful life, so if you love Mo'er, you must also make a bored look because of his appearance, and you must learn to be inconsistent! Okay, the old man is leaving, today is a pheasant slave, you secretly took me into the palace, it is not advisable to stay for a long time so as not to catch the handle, remember what your father said to you before he died, if you can't suppress her, deal with it! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said something earnestly, and left through a secret passage in the Zichen Palace, leaving only Li Zhi and Li Lingmo in the hall.

"Father, my prince can be titled in any way, the most important thing is not to let the royal family, civil and military officials, his eyes focus on me, otherwise there are some things that you can't come forward, but I can solve them, it won't be so easy to do, after all, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to guard against dark arrows, after all, it's not a good thing for their eyes to be on me."

"Mo'er, what do you want me to do?"

"Dad, you will make me the king of Chu and then send me to the Anxi Protectorate for a not too high position, so that I can leave Beijing when I reach the year of the weak crown! You can't go back to Beijing unless you are recalled! Remember to tell my mother that this is what I mean, I have my own arrangements, and I have to announce it in front of the clan in-laws and civil and military officials! ”

"Alright! But what if I look like you and your mother? And you promised to teach your brother to cultivate! ”

"Dad, have you forgotten, what I told you is a superficial phenomenon, although I was sent to Anxi, I can secretly go back to Beijing! And it's not like I don't know where to enter the secret passages in the imperial city. ”

"How did I forget! These are just superficial phenomena, you can go to Anxi or secretly become a mansion in the capital! ”

"I almost forgot, Dad, you now set up the East Palace to explain to your brother first, after all, these things can't be known to anyone, I will take him to a deserted place to practice from the secret passage in the palace."

After Li Lingmo finished speaking, he walked into the secret passage and walked towards the East Palace where the prince lived on the periphery of Daming Palace.

"Wu Liangfu! Prepare a sedan chair to drive the East Palace! Inform the prince and let him prepare to take over"

"Whoa"

An hour later

East Palace

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Son, welcome to my father!"

"Get up! The prince left the others and dispersed! ”

Li Zhi said to Li Hong and the maid eunuch behind him

"Whoa"

Everyone opened their mouths to respond, and they withdrew from the East Palace one after another, leaving Li Hong and Li Zhi in place.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"What do you say?"

I saw Li Lingmo's voice coming from inside the hall

"Big brother!"

Li Hong heard Li Lingmo's voice and walked towards the hall, and Li Zhi also followed into the main hall.

Inside the temple

"Dad, big brother, why are you here all of a sudden? And how do you get through the secret passage, big brother? ”

"Hong'er, have you forgotten something? Or was it a joke that you talked about all the time yesterday? ”

Li Zhi said in a playful tone

"Huh? Don't? Big brother, you're going to teach me! ”

Li Hong said excitedly

"Shhhh Beware of the walls with ears! Come with me, this is not the place to teach you! That's why I spent very little time in the palace in those years! ”

"Mo'er! Hong'er! Wait a minute, there's still something to be done! ”

"Big brother, wait a minute! I'm going to send my father away before I can go with you!" ”

I saw Li Zhi get up and leave, and Li Hong also followed him to the courtyard and saluted Li Zhi and said, "Son, send off your father!"

He said a few words to the maids in the East Palace, and then walked back to the dormitory in the palace

"That's it! Big brother let's go! ”

"Ordered? Let's go! ”

Li Lingmo and Li Hong walked into the secret passage and walked towards the flying dragon stable outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Wyvern Stable

I saw Li Lingmo riding on Qingying's back and looking at the tower of Xuanwu Gate not far away, he knew that his parents were watching them from above.

"Big brother let's go!"

Li Hong rode his shadow chasing to Li Lingmo and said to him

"Let's look back at the Xuanwu Gate! I guess I won't be able to come back in a short time after I go out this time."

Li Lingmo looked at Xuanwu Gate and said

"Alright! Didn't know what to see."

He reluctantly turned his head to look at the Xuanwu Gate, and he saw two figures in a trance on the city tower.

"Big ...... Eldest brother! Are you asking me to look back because my father and mother are on it? ”

"Didn't you just be reluctant? Do you know why I am now? ”

"I was wrong!"

Li Hong said reproachfully

"That's it! There's nothing to blame for it! ”

"Drive!"

I saw the two of them holding the reins with both hands and lifting them, their legs clamping the horse's belly, and Qingying and Chaser ran into the distance amid their cheers.

On the upper floor of the Xuanwu Gate City

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, who had a strong stomach, stood there looking at the direction where their two sons were gone, only to see a green mist drifting over and turning into Li Lingmo's face and saying to them: "Daddy, don't worry, this trip will take as little as one to two months, and at most one to half a year, it all depends on how far Li Hong and his cultivation are!" Also, mother, you are now pregnant, and you are about to give birth, so don't worry about our affairs anymore and raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

"Let's go! Mei Niang, other people's children are worried! ”

"Good!"

Li Zhi supported Wu Meiniang, accompanied by many palace maids and guards, walked down the Xuanwu Gate Tower, walked to the Feng Yuan that had already been prepared, and helped Wu Zetian into the car, he glanced back at Li Lingmo, the direction they left, and got into the carriage and drove in the direction of Penglai Palace.

Half a month later, Li Zhizhi edicted Li Lingmo as the king of Chu, appointed as the deputy capital of Anxi, and immediately went to Anxi after the weak crown ceremony.

Penglai Temple

"Humph! Sure enough, just like Mo'er's statement, this group of guys is really moving their minds that they shouldn't have. ”

Li Zhi's words were full of anger, but he was also very helpless that there were many cases of party members forming factions in the court, and his wind disease was becoming more and more serious, and now Li Hong and Li Lingmo went out to practice, and he had let Wu Zetian come to the court with him.

"Shhhh The pheasant slave was careful to be listened to by someone with a heart."

Wu Zetian made a gesture with his hand to his mouth and whispered.

"Well, I don't know when Mo'er will come back!"

Li Zhi whispered to Wu Meiniang, he hoped that Li Lingmo and Li Hong could come back as soon as possible!

"We don't know when the two children will come back, and when the time comes, the two children will come back, let's go! Let's go see Taiping, don't think about this."

Wu Zetian pulled Li Zhi and walked towards the warm pavilion of Penglai Palace.

They can only hope that Li Lingmo and Li Hong can return as soon as possible, after all, Li Lingmo's time to stay in the palace is short, and in five years, he will go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to take up his post.

"It's back! It's back! Your Majesty! Empress! It's back! ”

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian looked back, and Wu Liangfu shouted behind them.

"What's coming back? Wu Liangfu, you breathe a sigh and speak clearly! ”

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were confused by Wu Liangfu's words.

"Chu ...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are back! At this time, His Majesty is in the Wyvern Stable! Empress! ”

Say what you say again, the two of them couldn't believe Wu Liangfu's words.

"Your Majesty! Empress! His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have just returned, and they are placing horses in the Flying Dragon Stable at this time! ”

"Wu Liangfu, remember that you can't spread it at this time!"

After listening to Wu Liangfu's words, he instructed by the way, and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate, it turned out that after Li Lingmo and Li Hong left, they told Wu Liangfu to pay attention to the Xuanwu Gate, and if they came back, they would come to report.
