In the afternoon, there was news in Chang'an, Jiuqu Tubo army moved abnormally, has been the army Koubian Longyou, it is said that the refugees of Longyou have fled to Chang'an, in the wine shop teahouse to describe the blue-faced shaved head of the Tubo barbarian, two hours later, there is a big deal to communicate with him, since the New Year, they have not even met, whether they can successfully ascend the throne, the key is that Wang Zhongheng is like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, yesterday his father summoned the left and right ministers and Zongzheng Siqing to discuss the abdication, once this matter was confirmed, When Guo Xu's palace secretly met with him, and Qing King Li Cong visited Li Linfu and Pei Kuan respectively, although his father strictly forbade the clan to communicate with foreign ministers, but the situation was so urgent that it seemed that everyone could no longer take care of it.

Everyone is acting, but he Li Heng is tied, and even sending a letter almost has a big incident, he can only watch his brother layout left and right, Li Heng suddenly felt a trace of sadness, the crown prince who supported half of the Tang Dynasty back then, he didn't have extravagant hopes for this throne, but he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the rightful heir to the throne, but his father wanted to abdicate but didn't even summon him once, is this really going to stage a change to seize the heir? Li Heng looked at the gray sky, the gloomy sky was so oppressive that he almost went crazy, he was unwilling in his heart!

"Your Highness, do you want a slave to run for you?"

Li Jingzhong, who was following Li Heng, read the anxiety in his master's heart, he quietly put forward his own suggestion, Li Heng looked back at him, the Wei Jian case three years ago made him suspicious of Li Jingzhong, but in recent years, Li Jingzhong has expressed Li Heng's suspicions, not to mention that he really has no one to rely on at this moment, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then you will bring a message to Wang Zhonghei for me, he will leave the palace of the capital." ”

After a pause, Li Heng thought for a moment and added: "Without him, I'm just here to reminisce about the old days." ”.

The news of the Tubo army has not subsided, and another explosive news has caused a sensation in Chang'an, Xianning assassin Zhao Fengzhang wrote a letter to impeach Li Linfu for conniving at his family to occupy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the Xianning area, forcing nearly 1,000 peasant households to sell themselves into slavery, the evidence is conclusive, and the emperor is required to severely punish him, this year seems to be the beginning of many disasters and difficulties, just the day after the impeachment of Li Linfu by the Xianning assassin history, the Suzhou assassin Shi Cui sent 100,000 urgent documents, and the official cabinet workshop in Suzhou was set on fire and suffered heavy losses. Requesting the imperial court to immediately send a senior official to Suzhou to deal with the matter, Li Longji immediately appointed Li Qing, a household servant, as the Jiangnan Dongdao Observer and Imperial Doctor, and urgently went to Suzhou to investigate the case. For a time, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, February of the eighth year of Tianbao is destined to be an unusual day, all kinds of power and means, all kinds of interests are intertwined, the prince, Xiangguo, Chang'an, Suzhou, complicated, full of variables and challenges.

"Daddy! I'm going with you too."

Hearing that her father was going to go far away, Li Tingyue, who had just woken up, shouted to go with Li Qing, Li Qing picked her up, touched her daughter's round little face, and smiled lovingly: "Daddy is not going to play, I'll be back in two days, Niuniu is good, listen to my mother at home, Daddy will buy you something delicious and come back." ”

"Li Lang, everything is packed up, don't let everyone wait."

Zhao Lian walked into the room, but saw that his daughter was pestering her father, and couldn't help but sink her face and said: "Daddy is about to leave, if you make trouble again, my mother will beat me!" ”

"Then you have to buy me hemp candy, and you have to tell your mother well, don't scold me!" The mother's face on the side was already angry, and she hurriedly hugged her father's neck tightly and bargained in his ear.

Li Qing laughed, kissed his daughter, and put her on the ground, "Daddy promised you, go play!" ”

Li Tingyue hooked her fingers with her father unwillingly, and ran away with a smoke, Zhao Curtain saw that the little guy had disappeared, so she stepped forward and hugged her husband's neck, and said coquettishly: "I also want to ask you, when will you be back?" ”

"It turns out that you sent the little guy away for your own convenience."

Li Please hugged her waist, smiled ambiguously, rubbed her buttocks vigorously, looked at his wife's pretty face, his heart was full of desire, but there was really no time to linger with her, Li Qing had to let go of her, and said helplessly: "At most a month, this time I went to Suzhou just because the emperor transferred me away, and it was not a big deal." ”

Zhao Lian was shocked, grabbed her husband's hand, and said hurriedly: "Have you offended the emperor?" ”

Li Qing patted his wife's frightened face and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Actually, it's nothing, the emperor is going to take some moves recently, and I'm afraid that I will spoil his business, I am his God of Wealth, of course he doesn't want to embarrass me, so he transferred me away for a while, and everyone is clean. ”

"Eldest sister, the royal affair is just a dog eats a dog, Li Lang can't get involved in it, it's right to avoid it for the time being." I don't know when, Li Jingyan has already walked into the house, looking at Li Qing with a resentful face, she also wants to follow to Suzhou, Zhao Lian also hopes that she can take care of Li Qing all the way, but Li Qing is worried that King Qing's party will be secretly calculating, so he resolutely disagrees, although he knows that this is just an excuse, Li Longji will not do anything to him, but King Qing will not necessarily let him go, three years ago, he can not revenge

"I heard my father say that the emperor wanted to abdicate, so it triggered a competition between several princes, and the fight was very fierce, and almost every courtier was involved, so it was wise for Li Lang to go out."

"However, if King Qing ascends the throne, will he let Li Lang go?" Zhao Lian's worries are still unabated, she has a child in her womb, and she is even more worried about their future, and she has heard a lot about the new emperor's revenge.

Li Qing understood her worries, he simply sat down, pulled Zhao Curtain with one hand, pulled Li Jingyan with the other, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In fact, the emperor doesn't want to abdicate, the abdication is just the smoke he released, confusing everyone, his real purpose is to abolish the prince, this time he has an iron heart, not usual, but a few days ago the prince's mistake was inadvertently saved by me, so the emperor fell into me, he was afraid that I would harm his business again, so he used the excuse of Suzhou cabinet to transfer me away, do you understand?" King Qing is even more anxious than the crown prince, he can't ascend the throne. ”

After listening to her husband's words, the two daughters were silent, the prince's life or death was none of their business, the key was that Li Qing would not be involved.

"Alright, I really have to go." Li Qing stood up, gently hugged Zhao Curtain, hugged Li Jingyan again, picked up the items he was carrying, and strode out of the house.

The second daughter silently followed behind to send him out, at the gate, Xiaoyu had already arranged the car, she hugged Li Tingyue, her eyes were red, and she looked at Li Qing to get into the car.

Li Qing looked at his family, his nose was sour, and he waved his hand to them, "Xiaoyu, Wild Goose, you have to take care of the eldest sister!" Niu Niu wants to listen to her mother, and her father will be back soon! ”

"Li Lang be careful all the way!"

"Daddy, don't forget my hemp candy!".

The observation envoy was actually the minister of the imperial mission, who sent an envoy on behalf of the emperor, and had great power, which was originally a temporary position, but after the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court's control over the local area was weakened, and the observation envoy gradually became a permanent local position, so that the original county and state levels became the county, state, and province three levels, and the division of feudal towns also began from this.

In addition to Li Qing's personal entourage, there were also troops, subordinate officials, and miscellaneous servants, with nearly 1,000 people, with a clear banner and a grand guard of honor, and they surrounded Li Qing and left his mansion.

The car did not go straight from the Zhuque Street, but turned a corner, and walked through the Taipingfang, Li Qing still had one thing on his mind, he couldn't make up his mind to go to Suzhou, just arrived at the Fangmen, the car stopped and saw Zhang Qiu and Qiong waiting in front of the gate with two entourage.

"Huh! I knew that Yang Ming would definitely come to me first and then leave. ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong stepped forward with a smile and said: "I didn't expect you to make an observation envoy, this time when you come back, you should be promoted to the Ministry of Works." ”

Li Qing hurriedly opened the car door, "Master, please get in the car, Li Qing really has something important to discuss with his teacher." ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong nodded, climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, and the carriage started again, turning around and heading towards Suzaku Street.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little serious, and the two did not speak for a long time, and in the end, Zhang Qiu and Qiong broke the deadlock first. "Do you have anything to discuss with me, do you want me not to touch Li Linfu for the time being?"

"Yes! I've been thinking about it these days, and although the emperor also has a heart to change his appearance, I don't think it's the right time. ”

Li Qing saw that although Zhang Qiu and Qiong were listening, he didn't take his words to heart, he sighed secretly, and continued to persuade: "The teacher must also understand in his heart that the emperor's abdication is fake, and the abolition of the East Palace is true. ”

"Woe to me!" Heart, this is also the condition for me to remain silent on the matter of the prince, although I did not pick it out, but I and the emperor both know it, you may not know, he used Yang Guozhong to pour down the East Palace this time, to put it bluntly, after the prince was deposed, it was Yang Guozhong to replace Li Linfu, the emperor has such a clear idea, how can I not understand, Yang Guozhong is a minister, there is no need to worry, but if Li Linfu does not fall, I will die at his hands sooner or later, Yang Ming will not ask about this matter, go to Suzhou to do things with peace of mind, and when you come back, the court will be completely new. ”

Li Qing saw that he was stubborn, so he had to take a step back and persuade again: "But the teacher should not use the matter of land to provoke Li Linfu, you must know how many people's interests will be affected by the land, and the teacher is tantamount to pushing himself into a situation where he is the enemy of the majority of the people, which is really unwise." ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong were silent, and after a while, he said in a very slow voice, but very firmly: "If the land annexation is not stopped, my Datang will be in danger of losing the country, this is not that I am alarmist, your time in the local area is too short, where do you know the suffering of the peasants, now there must be someone to stand up and shout loudly, and this person is me, even if I offend more powerful people, I have no regrets!" ”

"I'm not saying I won't change it, it's just.

Without waiting for Li Qing to continue, Zhang Qiu and Qiong raised his hand to stop his words, "Don't say it again, I have made up my mind about this matter, and I will never change it again, now you give me a stop!" ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong had a gloomy face, pushed the car door and got out of the carriage, he didn't look back, staggered away and gradually walked away, Li Qing looked at his stubborn and old back, and there was an ominous premonition in his heart.
