Li Chengqian personally sent it to the palace gate, and personally instructed Feng Xiao, the leader of his guards, to send Wang Xi back to his house, so as not to make Wang Xi embarrassed by the marquis patrolling the streets.

Back to the house, the stepmother and the old man Zhang and others were still waiting anxiously, seeing Wang Xi's full beard and full shadow back, Cui's hugging him just kept crying, Xiao'er had fallen asleep, Wang Xi comforted the stepmother, heard the old man Zhang said that Lao Cheng came to Wang Xi's house when he came out of the palace, and did not leave until it was dark and the curfew in Chang'an.

Although he was still alive and near, he felt that so many people cared about him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, but after this toss, Wang Xi was already physically and mentally exhausted, and asked Zhang Shi and others to arrange the safety of the house, and then fell asleep.

In the Mingde Palace, Li Yuan's two edicts were placed on Li Er's table, and Li Er's mood could be described as unprecedentedly happy.

Seeing that the first day of the ninth year of Wude is approaching, the great court meeting of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty has always been held in the Taiji Palace, and all the officials and nobles who have entered the grade in Chang'an will participate, but since Li Er ascended the throne in August, the Taiji Palace has always been the place where Li Yuan lives, as a son of man, he can't drive his father away, right? In this era, if a person's filial piety is stained, it will be ruined, let alone a monarch who will be magnified in everything...

The so-called improper name is not good, the Xuanwumen incident happened suddenly, and the reactions in all parts of the world are different, especially in the last states and counties attached to Jiangnan and other Wude years, the officials are even appointed in the former Sui period, not to mention the old ministers and henchmen of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and the courtiers all over the world are watching how Li Er, the new monarch, will establish his prestige, so at this juncture, the great dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty will be very important.

Since Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died in Xuanwu Gate in Li Erzhong, Li Yuan has always been very resentful of Li Er, even if he usually goes to the Taiji Hall to ask for peace, Li Yuan has never given Li Er a good face.

Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji and other henchmen discussed this for several days, and they have been suffering from no countermeasures, Li Er has been ready to hold a court meeting in the Mingde Palace, but he didn't expect the problem to be solved like this!

Entering the Taiji Palace, Li Er's throne will no longer have any objections, whether it is the old party of the hidden prince or the henchmen of the emperor, he will not and dare not have the slightest criticism.

In history, Li Er finally took full control of the Tang Dynasty through the defeat of the Turks, Zhu Luoyi, and survived the Great Locust Plague and other tribulations, Li Yuan did not give up all illusions until the third year of Wude and moved to Da'an Palace, and now because of the appearance of Wang Xi, it has been three years ahead of schedule.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Er with a look on her face and laughed loudly, since the Xuanwu Gate, how long has it been since she saw her husband so happy?

The little eunuch in the green robe was lying on the ground, and was telling Li Er what Wang Xi said and did in the Taiji Hall today, and at the end, Li Er's expression was a little subtle, but he did not have the slightest displeasure, and said to Gao Fucheng: "It's a good job, this is your inner official, give me a heavy reward." ”

Gao Fucheng responded with a smile, and Empress Eldest Sun walked behind Li Er and gently squeezed his shoulders for him: "These truths are actually clear-eyed people in the court, who doesn't know who doesn't understand?" It's just that no one dares to say it to the Emperor, if these words are said by you and me, I am afraid that the Emperor will be annoyed and angry, which is counterproductive, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all secretive, for fear of getting involved in royal disputes and affecting themselves. ”

Li Ermei smiled: "Cheng Zhijie did not hesitate to break into the palace to ask for help, but I had nothing to do, the Emperor Taishang has always been unpretentious to me, I am afraid that it will backfire when I go to intercede, and I thought that this time I had to rely on Guanyin to come forward to protect this ghost valley disciple, but I didn't think that he would turn the danger into a disaster, but instead solve such a confidant trouble for me." ”

The eldest grandson picked up the second edict with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too happy, the Emperor Taishang still has a problem for Your Majesty." ”

Li Er went to the edict that sealed Wang Xi, thought about it for a long time, and played with his expression: "Guanyin, you should understand how important it is for me to enter the Taiji Palace, such a great achievement, there is nothing wrong with sealing Wang Xi as Hou Zhen, but since he entered Chang'an, he has been a maverick, I don't know how much talent he has not yet shown, and he is only fourteen years old!" Although there were 12 Ganluo in ancient times, the fourteen-year-old Marquis of the founding county is still too shocking in my Tang Dynasty••••••"

The eldest grandson gently pressed his forehead for Li Er, and said softly: "The concubine understands that Wang Xi is young, and his talent is unfathomable, Your Majesty is worried that if Wang Xi covers the Tang Dynasty in the future, there will be a day when there will be no seal, Your Majesty summoned him for the first time, and then he was ordered to be the prince's attendant, thinking that he would be able to be used by Cheng Qian in the future. ”

Li Er closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of his eldest grandson: "Not only that, but it is not enough for outsiders to say that the matter of moving the father and emperor to move is not an outsider after all, and the merit of the reward must be found for another reason, even if I do it reluctantly, I am afraid that the edict of the marquis will be rejected by the three provinces, and at that time, it will inevitably cause another court dispute!" ”

The eldest grandson raised his head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "The concubine body may have thought of a way to deal with it for His Majesty•••••"

Li Er was instantly excited, holding the eldest grandson's jade hand and said excitedly: "Guanyin is worthy of being my sage and helper, what is the clever plan, come quickly." ”

The eldest grandson chuckled and said: "Your Majesty's suffering is just because the Emperor Taishang named Wang Xi as the White Deer Candidate, if His Majesty refuses, first, the Emperor Taishang will inevitably be resentful, and the matter of moving will inevitably cause trouble again, and secondly, the reward will be lost, and Wang Xi will also have mustard in his heart, and he will be afraid that he will not do his best in the future." ”

"If Your Majesty follows the will of the Emperor Tai and appoints him as a waiter, and is afraid that the courtiers will oppose it, reject the edict, and compete with the courtiers, if you lose, you will inevitably lose your majesty's majesty, and even if you win, you will lose the name of your majesty's enlightenment and acceptance since your majesty ascended the throne."

Li Er looked at the eldest grandson suspiciously: "I understand what Guanyin said, but how can I deal with it?" ”

The eldest grandson took Li Yuan's edict, pointed to the three words "Bailu Hou" and said: "The way to deal with it is here, Your Majesty, imagine that I have the name of Bailu in Tianzhou County, Tang Dynasty?" Just like the Emperor Taishang in the past, he rewarded the Duke of Wing Guo and rewarded him for taking the wing word for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Er's brows stretched instantly, and the eldest grandson continued: "Only give the knighthood, not the fief, if Wang Xi makes meritorious service in the future, he will make up the seal again, and not add the knighthood, so that there is no need to worry about the seal." ”

Li Er stroked his palms and laughed: "Not bad! In this way, Bailuhou will become a false lord, and the resistance in the government and the opposition will not be too great... ”

The eldest grandson added: "Your Majesty can also say that it is the intention of the Emperor to crown Wang Xi as a candidate, so that His Majesty can be benevolent and filial." ”

Li Er said resolutely: "No! Since I am in charge of the Tang Dynasty, my courtiers can only be rewarded by me! Datang can only have my edict to be a marquis and pay homage! ”

"After the Xuanwu Gate, I no longer hope for the name of benevolence and filial piety, and I will not do the things that tamper with the annals of history and want to cover up the pretenses, and my life's achievements will be judged by future generations! I want my father and Li Jiancheng to know! This Tang Sheji, in my hands, will be more prosperous than them! ”

Li Er looked at the eldest grandson with sad eyes: "Killing my brother and imprisoning my father, I'm afraid that I will be tired and stigmatized by Guanyin and me." ”

The eldest grandson leaned on Li Er's shoulder with a warm face, and said softly: "If the concubine marries herself to His Majesty, she will be the same as Your Majesty, no matter the rise and fall in the future, the concubine will suffer with Your Majesty." ”

In the Mingde Palace, the first emperor and the eternal virtuous queen are like children in love, snuggling together warmly.

Wang Xi slept until three o'clock in the morning, Xiaoxiao struggled to pull his brother who was still squinting, yesterday he had money to sell tea, and promised to take himself to the East Market to buy delicious food.

Just walked to the front yard, Lao Cheng rushed in in a court uniform, and it seemed that he had just come over after the morning court.

Lao Cheng stretched his hand and pulled Wang Xi over: "Boy, tell me quickly, what did you do in the Taiji Hall yesterday?!" ”

Seeing that Wang Xi was still squinting and didn't know what to do, he picked up a scoop of cold water from the water under the eaves and splashed it on his head, Xiao'er screamed angrily and kept kicking Lao Cheng, and was held in Lao Cheng's arms and couldn't move.

Cui's family and all the soldiers and villagers also came out to see what was going on.

The water was very cold, and Wang Xi's face was painful mixed with a little ice ballast, but Wang Xi woke up completely, saw Lao Cheng's anxious appearance, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, but what happened in the court?" ”

Lao Cheng looked at Wang Xi: "This morning, Your Majesty suddenly issued an edict to reward you for your meritorious work in suturing external injuries, and named you Bailu Hou!" Menxia Province immediately dismissed it, and the court discussed this matter, and the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries all objected, including Sun Wuji, the chief servant of the Ministry of Officials, Fang Xuanling, the Zhongshu Ling, and Du Ruhui of the Military Department, who His Majesty has always been a confidant, and others were also fiercely opposed, obviously, His Majesty did not discuss with them before issuing the edict, which is too abnormal! Except for the old man and the Duke of Eguo and other military ministers, no one in the Manchu Dynasty agreed! His Majesty was furious and walked away. ”

Lao Cheng looked at Wang Xi seriously: "Boy, the old man thinks about it, this matter is too weird, and it can only be related to your entry into the palace yesterday, tell the old man, what did you do in the Taiji Palace?!" Boy, be sober! If you want to be knighted, the crooked way of the evil sect will not work! Once you get involved in royal strife, if you are not careful, you will be killed! Don't you think about your stepmother and sister?! ”

Wang Xi sighed, Lao Cheng must have thought that he had promised or planned something to Li Yuan yesterday in exchange for such a title, the Manchu Dynasty was opposed by civil and military, Lao Cheng was able to keep silent is already the biggest concession, this love heart, Wang Xi understands it.

At that moment, Wang Xi led Lao Cheng to the small hall and told the truth about yesterday's events.

After listening to it, Lao Cheng thought about it for a long time before he said: "The edict of the marquis is the seal of His Majesty, and it is impossible for it to come from the hand of the Emperor Taishang, but since the title of Delin, please cut the kings to be knighted, His Majesty personally promised not to be knighted if it is not a great achievement, and it has been less than a month now, and I am afraid that there is another clue to this matter..."

Suddenly, Lao Cheng's eyes lit up: "Boy, you may have hit a lot of luck!" You don't know that Your Majesty has talked about the Yuan Day Great Court Meeting with a certain former Qin Prince's confidants several times in the past few days, and you are worried about not being able to hold a great court meeting in the Taiji Palace, and you persuaded the Emperor Taishang to move to Da'an Palace, which is in great trouble for Your Majesty! ”

"You have only been in the WTO for a short time, and you don't know the secrets, do you know what the Yuan Dynasty will mean to Your Majesty?! Since His Majesty's accession to the throne, everything is complicated, and all departments and departments are in chaos, and the Yuan Ri Great Court Meeting is the first time that His Majesty has summoned Chang'an Sanfu as the king of the Tang Dynasty, all the officials and nobles above the nine grades! It is even more significant than the hasty enthronement ceremony in August this year! ”

"Mingde Hall is the main hall of the East Palace, if the dynasty will be in the Mingde Palace, then the name is not right, and the significance of the dynasty will be greatly reduced, but you have changed this, such a great achievement, Your Majesty is bound to be happy, under the rise, it is not impossible to seal you a marquis, but after all, you have just entered the Tang Dynasty, your qualifications are still shallow, and it is difficult to seal the marquis with only this inch, and now the ministers are opposed, and the matter is at an impasse."

Lao Cheng swore and said: "But I know Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the time to establish your prestige, and you will never stop there, but I am afraid that the title of Marquis will be discounted a little, but the title of a founding county boy is indispensable!" ”

Cheng Yanjin is worthy of being one of the few people in Lingyan Pavilion who has lived through the three dynasties, half blinded and half guessed, he is actually the one who analyzes the truth of the matter!
