"The impact of the blow may be there, but the lesser of the two phases of damage, and it will bring more confusion to the happy Empress Wu, because she can't figure out the emperor's true intentions for a while, and even think that the previous martial arts family was just affected by the emperor's governance. After a short period of pain, the royal family surnamed Li will reflect more soberly, and the mind of figuring out the emperor's intentions will be more devoted. ”

The corners of Li Zhi's mouth bloomed with a wisp of meaning.

"It sounds like killing multiple birds with one stone, but have you thought about it, the martial queen will see through the strangeness sooner or later, and even finally suspect you, and then think of the big locust tree! You must know that people who hold the imperial power do not need complete evidence, just by suspicion, they can make the same move to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

The king of Nanjiang never responded with words, although he had generally approved of Li Zhi's considerations in his heart.

It's just out of prudence that his step-by-step questioning method is to remind Li Zhi from multiple angles.

His psychological changes can't be hidden from Li Zhi, but he doesn't want to expose them, after all, King Nanjiang is based on thinking about him.

However, the communication between the two did not last, and they were disturbed by Mi Rui and other officials who came in a hurry.

Many of these people came from nearby Xia County, because in principle, the local administrators of the Tang Dynasty were strictly forbidden to leave the yamen and return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival.

This rule cut off the possibility of spending the New Year in their hometown, and if they wanted to reunite with their families, they had to take place in the city of Guangzhou.

Although that dynasty also had a seven-day holiday, it was set up according to the rule of "three days before and after the Yuan Zheng".

That is to say, with the first day of the Lunar New Year as the center, there will be a three-day holiday before the first day of the new year, and a three-day holiday after the first day of the new year, plus the first day of the new year, exactly seven days off.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the ancients attached great importance to the Spring Festival. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the beginning of spring to welcome spring is a grand festival that must be held, so the beginning of spring is also called the Spring Festival, that is, it has existed since then.

Zhou Tianzi was in the later period of that time, and created the emperor on the first day of the Lunar New Year, personally led the three princes and nine kings to the eastern suburbs to welcome the spring, praying for a good harvest, and after returning to the palace, he would reward the ministers and benefit the people.

Guangzhou Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the specific implementation is much more flexible and more humane, such as Zhang Hongyu, because his wife is sick, he can ask for leave.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is also the day for them to pay New Year's greetings to the senior magistrates, and then go to the nearby garrison to express their condolences, and the next half day will also have a more relaxed private time.

But the urgent letter from Chang'an City made them hurry back from the garrison, and they pounced on the halal restaurant, so they simply caught up here.

The King of Nanjiang is different from Li Zhi's King of Loyalty, he is the top-level minister except for the Third Duke and Jiuqing, but he is in charge of many people's official hats and future issues.

What's more, King Ming, who arrived two days later, is the supreme minister of justice in the Tang Dynasty, although many people are unwilling, no one dares to be absent.

However, such troubles are very ecstatic in the hearts of some highly motivated officials.

At that time, the traffic was extremely inconvenient, even if the court and the central government had a very hard relationship, if you wanted to use the Chinese New Year to be familiar in the eyes of Shangfeng, if the magistrate did not have an official letter to summon him, the round-trip journey would take ten days and a half months.

In a remote place like Guangzhou, it takes more than a month, and it is impossible to get such a long vacation even if you are a relative of the emperor.

Therefore, the arrival of high-ranking local officials is undoubtedly something they are very eager for.

Therefore, after these officials arrived, many of them were busy and had a very positive attitude, and looking at the posture, they were asked to give up everything and stay here at any time to listen, and it was impossible for them to complain at all.

Among these people is Mi Rui, who has been moving to Guangzhou for less than a few months, and when he was in Ezhou in previous years, he only had half a journey to Chang'an City, but now that he has arrived here, he will not have a chance to run once or twice a year if he wants to run.

For Li Zhi, the Chinese New Year was supposed to usher in an extremely busy time, and in the face of such a situation, he was omitted a lot of things, at least the goals of those big and small officials had changed.

Even so, the next two days were a busy mess, until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, King Ming and his party came.

Compared with King Nanjiang and his party, this team is much larger, because there are many more people in the Ming Palace.

Just because Mrs. Lao Ming Wang was by Li Zhi's side, not only did the three sons of the three generations come with their families this time, but even the old Ming King also came.

It stands to reason that the three sons are all in important positions, especially the eldest son Li Yu, who is a scholar from the second grade, is in charge of the edict, and his status is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty, and he has just been transferred to Luoyang City for less than a few months, so he will never have such an opportunity.

However, King Ming's trip was on behalf of the imperial court, and he went to the Arab Empire as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu was accompanied to Guangzhou City by the emperor's order.

When he came, he passed through Linzhou, and the king of Changning County of Linzhou Dadu Protectorate simply followed.

He and King Ming are cousins, both parents died when they were young, and they have always been the old King Ming and his wife pulled into adulthood, and their twin daughters married to Li Zhi's brother-in-law Li Yi.

It can also be said that this time, almost all the main members of the Ming Palace's mansion were dispatched, bringing Li Zhi a huge surprise.

Unlike any great family, the blood relationship in the Ming Palace's mansion is extremely harmonious, and there is no chicken and dog affairs in other people's families.

Li Zhi is the righteous son of King Ming, and the whole Ming Wangfu treats him like a mother, of course, it has a lot to do with his curing of Grandma Li's incurable illness.

Li Zhi is in the Ming Palace, which is equivalent to his own home, and that kind of family warmth gives him a great sense of integration.

However, his return is also real, such as the Ming Wangfu, a family of three generations of court captains, has decided since he came out that he cannot be involved in business like other families.

Li Zhi gave the Ming Wang's Mansion all the benefits that he had to pay attention to through various refusals, and even covered the expenses of the big and small matters in the mansion, because of this matter, Zhengqing Wenqitang also sent a housekeeper to pay special attention to these.

In a certain way, his feelings for the Ming Wangfu are more than the Linhuai County Palace, that is, his gratitude to his family.

There is only one person who comes, and he has another mission, and this person is Li Ling, the second of the three generations, Li Ling and Li Hanqing.

The true identity of this person has always been a mystery, not only for Li Zhi, but also for the entire major families in Chang'an City, including some of the Ten Kings.

All because he served as Xia Guanshang in the middle of the court, and served as the head of the three grades of Lingwu Dao in the court, all of them were vain, not only rarely appeared in the two positions, but even the specific whereabouts were under strict protection as early as a few years ago.

Even a person with a special mission like Li Zhi only knows that Li Ling's mysterious identity is related to the army surnamed Li, and that it is his old father, King Ming, and he also doesn't know much.

In the joy of Li Zhi's arrival of his family, Li Ling took the opportunity to click a few words, and he knew that this person was likely to bring confidential information from the forces surnamed Li, and it would even be a face-to-face teaching from Gaozong.

It's just that obviously this is not the time to communicate, Li Zhi has to find a no-man's land to invite the old ancestor and Grandma Li out with the cooperation of King Ming.

Although the reason given by King Ming was not very convincing, his identity was there, and no matter how curious others were, they didn't dare to ask where the ancestor and Grandma Li had been staying and why they had never appeared.

Li Zhi is not worried, some people will guess the hidden space of the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, because a person with a high status in the Fengyi Alliance like Xin Jingshan will not think of this.

In today's cultivation world, where even seeing the elixir with one's own eyes has become a luxury in the cultivation world, the hidden space is even more incredible.

However, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, when the ancestor and Grandma Li were brought out, he did not forget to lay down the ban, cover up the aura of the second elder, and by the way, he brought out a baggage car, and he personally drove the horse into the inn compound.

The whole Ming Wangfu came out, and the scene was full of joy, and the two elders were also smiling like flowers.

Their appearance is a great relief to the people in the Ming King's Mansion, because these people have embarked on a journey since they were two days after the New Year, and in their hearts, coming to Guangzhou City is considered to be the New Year, and they have not yet used the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Now that the family has been reunited in two months, the heart is happy at this time, but it can no longer be suppressed.

Qingqi and the girls rushed forward as soon as possible, and each supported the second elder, but in the eyes of King Ming and King Ming, the faces of the old ancestor and Grandma Li were much more ruddy than themselves.

They knew that the Chaoyuan Secret Realm existed, and the old Ming King was willing to follow him at such an age, firstly because he was worried about his wife, and then because he was strongly curious about the secret realm.

Mi Rui, who had been watching from the sidelines, explained from King Ming that he had come by a more comfortable waterway about the arrival of the second elder.

Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would never agree with the hundred-year-old ancestor who could withstand such a long journey, but there were many secrets in Li Zhiben, and he would not be stupid enough to ask the bottom of it.

At this moment, he took the initiative to come to Li Zhi's side and whispered: "It's rare that the Ming Wangfu family came to Guangzhou, and the New Year was delayed on the way, is the schedule for the fifth day of the new year postponed for three or two days?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, "It is appropriate to leave two days late, but we have discussed it with Special Envoy Mahdi before, we don't know how they arranged it, how it is, let's wait until we communicate later!" ”

In fact, Mi Rui had already arranged for someone to inform Mahdi and his party, "Your Excellency the envoy will be here soon, is tonight's banquet here, or is it going to find a restaurant?" ”

"Just like the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is necessary to arrange for someone to build the shed as soon as possible!"

"I'll arrange it, and even those artists can find some, maybe it's not as good as the scale!"

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, with Zuo San and Feng Si here, the two of them have some tricks!"

"Hehe, that's right, I haven't congratulated Mr. Li on accepting two more masters! Leave this matter to me, and you can also say hello to his two brothers in advance! ”

I have to say that with the help of a thoughtful person like Mirui, Li Zhi is a lot easier.
