Chapter 3: Songshan (Part II)

At this moment, the prince's mansion is brightly lit and joyful. The Datong Hall guard came to report that Gao Lishi passed on His Majesty's decree to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listen to the government tomorrow morning. This can make the prince's mansion very happy. After the news came, the whole province did not stop, and all kinds of preparations were busy in an orderly manner. This prince is also a bitter fate.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Li Ying, the second son of the former crown prince, was deposed as a concubine because he was framed by Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, he was given death. Li Heng, who was the king of Chung at that time, was immediately made the crown prince. At this time, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong jointly controlled the government, and there were countless party members. The emperor was already afraid of the prince's full wings. What happened to the former crown prince Li Ying made Li Heng very jealous of the court situation, and he trembled every day as if he were walking on thin ice.

Li Heng's mood at the moment was overturning, tossing and turning and it was difficult to sleep. Since he was made the crown prince, he has not had a peaceful life, nor has he slept a peaceful night's sleep. The court was targeted by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong everywhere, and he often scolded himself. That is above the court, before the civil and military officials and his father, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't figure it out. What a good Tang Dynasty, the people were rich before the thief, and all the countries came to the court. How is it like an instant, internal and external troubles come together. There is Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's chaotic power inside, and An Lushan is the opposite. How to clean up such a country. It is rare for my father to give him a majestic teacher, but he can't protect it. At this moment, Li Heng is extremely powerless.

"Your Highness, don't worry, didn't Master Li say that ensuring His Highness's smooth ascension to the throne at this moment is the first priority. Your Highness has to endure it, and when His Highness ascends the treasure, the situation will be more than half better. ”

"Master Li is really confident, but it's a pity that he is lonely and incompetent, and he can't protect his master. The harmful master returned to the mountains and forests. ”

"Your Highness is in a good position, the current situation, except for Your Majesty, who can suppress Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong."

"But Gu is really worried, although Anwar is on Master Li's side, but Gu is really afraid that Master Li will make a mistake."

"Anwar is not alone now. My sister sent a letter, and the letter said that Master Li still has a master by his side. Your Highness guess who. ”

"Oh? Who sent it? Who? Li Heng was instantly excited, Li Mi was his arm, and every detail related to Li Mi's safety was his sensitive nerves.

"Look at the scare of His Highness, His Highness recognizes this person, and it seems that he has the same duties as Anwar" The person behind Li Heng chuckled and said, "It's Ashinamoli"

"It's him! He's not with his father? Is it the Father?! Li Heng's brain was running rapidly, and he instantly thought of Li Longji.

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier? Hurry up and talk about it in detail," Li Heng reproached slightly

"My sister's messenger has just arrived, and the concubine has just learned about it, so don't you report it to Your Highness," said in a delicate voice.

"Lone knows that he is wrong, and he apologizes to Lone's Anyi." Li Heng was in a good mood when he heard the news.

Ten days ago, on the top of Song Mountain. The pines and cypresses are tall, the bamboo forests are all over the mountains, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. In Li's residence, the bluestone pavement, the wild flowers are on the side, and the spring water in the mountains gurgles down along a bamboo tube, overflowing from the wooden barrels that have already been filled, and flows into the aqueduct paved with gravel, the water channels are connected by rings, and the spring water waters the green vegetables and fruits in the garden, and then flows out along the hole in the corner of the courtyard wall, returning to the embrace of the mountain forest. There are three people sitting on the bluestone platform in the courtyard outside the hall, Li Mi, Anwar, and Ashinamoli.

"It's all upside down outside, sir, it's still a fairyland on earth, it's good. I really can't think of leaving" Morley's mind after a long time of strife at this time was rare to be calm, and he looked at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard with intoxication. After leaving the palace that day, Morley went home to visit his mother, and did not dare to stay for a moment, and went straight to Songshan. After a brief moment of consternation, Li Mi quickly regained his composure and invited Morley to sit down under the porch, and Anwar also sat down after cooking the fragrant tea.

"It's all thanks to Anwar. Anwar and I had nothing to do, so we tended to this garden, which was full of ordinary crops and wild flowers in the mountains, but the mountain spring was a source of pride. However, the general is used to seeing the royal weather, and these small scenes naturally cannot enter the general's eyes. Li Mi didn't know what Morry meant, and said cautiously, "If the general likes it here, he can stay here for a few more days."

Anwar didn't say anything, just glared at Li Mi with his eyes.

"Naturally, I want to stay a few more days, sir, I don't want to leave when I come here," Morley saw Anwar's expression, picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Anwar girl will dislike her and be an eyesore," laughed after speaking.

Li Mi's mind couldn't turn around. What is the situation of the special mother, the dignified commander of the Black Dragon Guard, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the emperor, actually said that he fell in love with the scenery of Lao Tzu's house, and he had to live for a few days for this.

"Also, I'm no longer a general. Just call him by name," Morley continued.

"Oh?" Li Mi was even more at a loss, Ashina Mori was in the important position of the commander of the Black Dragon Guard, and he couldn't leave His Majesty half a step away, why was he suddenly not a general? Could it be that he has done something wrong and lost His Majesty's favor?

"Sir, don't guess, Sir knows, down there are His Majesty's people. Therefore, this time I came to naturally follow His Majesty's secret order" Morley did not let Li Yu's question remain for too long, and directly explained the intention.

Li Mi suddenly understood a little, the emperor Lao Tzu was afraid that he would be killed if he got too close to the crown prince, so he let his personal guards lead him. One is to monitor oneself to prevent oneself from doing things out of line, and the other is to protect one's own safety. By the way, he threw his favorite guard to Songshan, which was far away from the court, which not only protected Morley but also allowed Morley to enter the small circle of the successor monarch. Emperor Lao Tzu is preparing to be the crown prince, and he and Ashinamoli are two of them. Thinking of this, Li Mi became angry, and said that you are a Ming Jun, you just favor Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and you are a subordinate official of the East Palace. He also instigated an An Lushan rebellion. said that you are a faint king, and you still know that you can protect Zhongliang only for the crown prince. Li Mi was about to curse to death in his heart at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor of ours.

"What is the gentleman thinking?" Morley interrupted Lee's heartfelt scolding.

"Your Majesty is really 'the old tiger is majestic'," Li Mi said.

Li Mi couldn't hide the angry expression on his face at the moment, but in Morley's opinion, it was very dignified, in Morley's opinion, Li Mi was conquered by the emperor's skill and power, "Yes, Your Majesty's power is unpredictable, don't think that Your Majesty is really old", and there was a reverent glow on his face after speaking.

Li Mi had already rolled his eyes ten thousand times in his heart.

"Your Majesty also said, let us work with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with one heart and one mind to create a great cause" Morley didn't know Li Yu's mood at the moment, and continued, "What do you think is the most important thing at the moment, sir?"

Li Mi quickly put the 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart into the cage, and said the two words "Chao Bureau" without thinking

"First of all, the first priority we do is to find ways to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participate in the government affairs, we can't let Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong go on unscrupulously, the state affairs are withering, and traitors are not allowed to do anything wrong." Li Mi continued.

"Your Majesty is quite jealous of His Royal Highness the Prince's participation in court politics, and his attitude is also known. Then there is Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, who have controlled the government for many years, and there are many party henchmen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to meddle in the court, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Morley sighed.

Li Mi took a sip of the teacup and said slowly.

"Otherwise, His Majesty's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already changed. Otherwise, I would not have sent you to my Songshan. The meaning of Your Majesty's sending you here is obvious, that is, to support the prince's participation in court politics, as for whether the prince can suppress Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, it depends on our ability. ”

"At the moment, only relying on the status of the prince of the palace of the prince cannot suppress them. So what we have to do is to enhance our own strength and compete for the right to speak above the court. ”

"As the saying goes, power comes out of the barrel of a gun. The essence of this society is, after all, the survival of the fittest. If we want to have the right to speak, we must first have a gun. So, we're going to have to find two people first. ”

"Who?" Morley couldn't help but ask.

"Morley, my Datang is in turmoil now, and the building is in danger of collapsing. Your Majesty is now in his prime, the prince is the only hope of the Tang Dynasty, do you know that someone's words today are the only chance for the prince, and the only hope of the Tang Dynasty. If you betray the prince, you will betray the Tang Dynasty. Did you know? The sudden words made Morley break out in a cold sweat.

"Sir believes me. This is the secret decree of His Majesty and me, that I should serve as a messenger to Mr. and His Majesty, and that I should assist Mr. Mahley in assisting the Prince," Morley really obeyed, took out a bright yellow envelope from his bosom, raised his hands high, and bowed to the ground.

"Huangfu Weiming, Wei Jian" Li Mi raised his hand to take the envelope, and spit out two names weighing more than a thousand gold in his mouth.
