Chapter 367 The beauty plan that is difficult to implement, the eyes of the fighting heart at the banquet

To express Datang's sincerity to the surrender of the spring boys, Li Zhi gave Quan Xian treatment. Quan Xiancheng's house in the eastern capital is very spacious, spanning two squares, part of which is in Jixian Fang in the north of Tongmen Street, and part of it is in Zunxian Fang in the north of Jixian Fang. If you just look at the specifications, it is the current first prime minister Shangguanyi, and the house is nothing more than that.

Of course, the superficial noble treatment is not enough to explain Quan Xiancheng's embarrassing situation in Luoyang. The Tang Dynasty had already begun the general mobilization of the Eastern Crusade, so every time he went out, in addition to the retinue he brought from Goguryeo, there were also many guards sent by the imperial court. That's not all, Cheng Chumo, who was responsible for leading the royal secret guard for Li Zhi, also arranged for hundreds of people to dress up and follow. This situation has become even more intense after Quan Xiancheng blocked Li Xian once in Xiandeju last time.

Compared with the Khitan and Tatar chieftains who traveled with him this time, Quan Xiancheng is very smart and knowledgeable about current affairs. Although he was only sixteen years old, as the eldest grandson of Quangai Suwen, he would become the heir of the Great Mo Lizhi after the King of Goguryeo in the future, and his education could be said to be more comprehensive than that of the Crown Prince of Goguryeo, and his teacher even had a great Confucian from the Central Plains.

His proposal to surrender to the Tang Dynasty for his father Quan Nan was considered by many subordinates to be an expedient measure, but he himself did not think so. Many people imagined that Goguryeo would be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty in the same way that he defeated the Great Sui, but he knew that this was simply wishful thinking.

The Tang Dynasty was far stronger than the Great Sui, and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms of Haidong no longer existed, and Goguryeo can now be said to be under attack. Rather than being taken prisoner at the time of the fall of the country. It is better to take the initiative to pacify Goguryeo for the Tang Dynasty, so that the Quan family can have a place in the Central Plains. Because of this, his vigilance against Silla, a former powerful enemy, was not lowered, but increased.

Why don't I have a sister?

This is the biggest regret that Quan Xiancheng has from the bottom of his heart after hearing about Li Xian's hobby. He and Kim Myung-ga had not met before. But it can be regarded as growing up listening to the reputation of that princess. In addition to her beauty, some people have praised her intelligence and skill, and some people have even thought whimsically. Let him marry the Silla royal family. So. When he heard that Jin Mingjia was deeply loved by the Empress Wu, he always had an unusual sensitivity.

Quan Xiancheng asked the eldest brother Ran You who was standing behind him in distress: "You say, how can I see that King Pei again now?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has not already agreed, let us lead the Tang army into Goguryeo as a guide. Why should the eldest prince worry anymore? Now all we have to do is to let Datang see our sincerity, and it is best not to act rashly, so as not to be doubted by others. ”

Faced with such an incomprehensible subordinate, Quan Xiancheng sighed deeply again, deeply hating that there was no empathetic woman by his side. Although Goguryeo is located in Liaodong, there are not many beautiful women. At least. His two concubines were extraordinary. However, after fleeing to the inner city. He lost contact with the two daughters, and he thought that he would have returned to someone else.

I don't know how many times after sighing deeply, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, followed by a servant's sincere and terrified voice: "Eldest prince, the inner court has sent a messenger to say that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty invited you to the palace for a banquet." ”

Banquet? As a native who has learned Chinese characters in the Central Plains culture since childhood, Quan Xiancheng knows a lot about an ancient saying, that is, there is no good banquet. Not to mention the origin of the Hongmen banquet, there are not a few examples of killing enemy courtiers at the banquet, or summoning armor soldiers to ambush them with a cup throw.

He stepped forward and opened the door, and without looking at the earth-colored servant, he walked out with his head held high. After seeing the chamberlain, he asked with a cordial and somewhat humble attitude, and his originally nervous mood immediately relaxed-it turned out that this so-called banquet was to celebrate the third birthday of Princess Taiping Li Lingyuedi!

Princess Taiping, just from this title, it can be seen that the Tang Emperor loves it, if it is another princess, just a third birthday, what do you need to celebrate? On the way to the palace, Quan Xiancheng has been skillfully asking who the invitees are from the mouth of the waiter, and in the end, a huge list of prototypes has been revealed.

At the same time, Li Xian was also in the East Palace, waiting for the crown prince Li Hong to accompany him with Li Xian and Li Xulun. He was also quite smacked at his father's and mother's generosity this time, and Li Xian even muttered dissatisfiedly next to him: "I didn't see my father and queen mother so attentive on my tenth birthday, and this time I made such a big deal about my sister's partiality!" The gifts of the ministers alone were enough for her to make a fortune. ”

Do you think everyone is you? Li Xian glanced at Li Xian angrily, but he didn't bother to take the trouble to teach this younger brother a lesson. No matter how much money you lose in cockfighting and gambling, it is limited, anyway, Li Xian doesn't want to be a prince who helps the world and the people, so he just let him go. In this royal world, it is easier to be a gentleman than to be ambitious

The crown prince Li Hong quickly stopped dressing and appeared in front of the two younger brothers with the two prince's internal officials, the crown prince Liangyuan A Fei and the prince Zhaoxun Minghui. Although he was a little thin and his complexion was a little pale, his spirit was much better now than before, and of course, compared to Li Xian's strong figure who practiced martial arts all year round, he looked more like his younger brother.

Li Xian and Li Xian have not yet officially canonized the prince and the widow, so they are both single this time. However, compared with Li Xian's unqualified and many favorites, Li Xian's other half has long been well-known, so the crown prince Li Hong glanced left and right at Ah Fei and Ming Hui, who were as delicate as flowers, and smiled meaningfully at Li Xian.

Although it is just to celebrate the birthday of the little princess, this banquet is full of one main hall and three side halls of the Renshou Palace, in addition to the courtiers, there are also internal and external women, and they are extremely thoughtful, and it is inevitable that Li Xian is jealous, and even Li Xian has to sigh that his little sister seems to be blessed. However, as he was looking around to find his place, he caught a glimpse of someone at the side doorway gesturing to him.

The man was dressed in white and red dress, with only a delicate bead hairpin on his head than ordinary palace people, a thin grease powder on his face, and his plump red lips showed a smiling arc, who else was not Ah Qian?

Turning his head and glancing at the officials who were greeting each other, Li Xian walked around from the other side, and when he saw that there was no one around, he stretched out his hand and gently wrapped his waist around, and then said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the queen mother held a banquet alone at the back, why did you come over?" ”

"The queen mother will come here to meet the ministers first, of course I have to see if the people are complete!" For Li Xian's oil-rubbing behavior, Ah Qian not only did not stop it, but simply leaned softly in the crook of his arm, carefully looked at his face, and finally complained with disappointment, "Your Majesty and Niangniang celebrate the little princess's birthday with such fanfare, isn't Your Highness unhappy?" ”

Xiao Lingyue is his sister, what's not to be happy about?

Li Xian looked at Ah Qian inexplicably, and found that the other party was looking at him with a gaze like an alien, and he felt even more strange. It was a long time before he heard her let out an inexplicable sigh, followed by an explanation.

"It seems that the mother's thoughts are in vain! Come on, Your Highness, just listen, let me tell you, it's not that the little princess's birthday is worth doing so much, it's really because there have been a lot of things recently, and you need to use the little princess's birthday as a reason, don't you notice, how special are the generals on the list this time? After this time, the first batch of generals to go to Liaodong will be decided. Oh, General Qibi He Li over there made great contributions in Tiele last time, and this time he is probably the main vanguard. ”

After listening to this explanation, Li Xian really felt crying and laughing. Although he really has a set of tricks on his parents, this does not mean that he will be dissatisfied with his own sister being more favored by the Empress Wu, but the commander of the Eastern Expedition Vanguard Army is more noteworthy. After sending away Ah Qian in a few words, he took a closer look at the Qi Qi over there.

In the past, when he was a fierce general dancing sword and he was making poems, Su Dingfang was still there, and now this Qi Bi He Li is still not old, but Lao Su has passed away, and it is really a time flies. Thinking about it, if Lao Su is alive, the chief general of the vanguard army of the Eastern Expedition is about not Lao Su.

Although he is old and has long faded out of the government, Xu Jingzong and Li Ji are indispensable to this lively occasion. This Wen Yiwu smiled and talked with his own small circle there. Suddenly, both of them saw Li Xian, who had slipped back from the side door, and shouted at the same time:

"His Royal Highness King Pei!"

Li Xian was startled by this sudden cry, and then saw that the eyes of a large number of people next to him were focused on him, so he sighed and walked forward as if resigned to his fate. On the one hand, his master, on the other hand, is his Peiwang Mansion Governor, and they are all veterans and important ministers, but they spoke out at the same time, I really don't know if it was discussed.

Just as he walked past a group of young officials, his right hand was suddenly thrust into a mass. Although he thought it was strange, he only glanced at those people, and saw that Quan Xiancheng was smiling at him, so he moved the paper ball into the palm of his hand and continued to walk forward slowly.

Li Ji and Xu Jingzong did not play a good show, but moved a few steps closer to each other at the same time, glanced at each other tacitly, and nodded at Li Xian at the same time. When they greeted each other closely, Xu Jingzong took two steps back, and let Li Ji lead Li Xian to meet a circle of generals, and then he stepped forward with a smile and pulled Li Xian aside. He didn't learn from Li Ji's set, but said a sentence mysteriously.
