The next two days of hunting were successfully completed under strict vigilance, and when the emperor returned to the palace, Li Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Yang Qianye would be reckless and sneak in again, intending to assassinate him. He is not a fairy, he can save her once, but he can't save her forever.

Unless she lets go of this senseless hatred and jumps out of the abyss. In fact, in Li Yu's opinion, Yang Qianye was a little too paranoid when he found Li Shimin, although the Li Tang family was the replacement that jumped out of the old ministers of the Great Sui, but the one who killed Yang Qianye's father had nothing to do with Li Tang.

It's just that in the era when the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere and the anti-king was frequent, all the heroes and heroes along the way had turned into dust, and the eunuchs of Mo Baiyan wanted to set up a goal for Yang Qianye to fight, so they could only transfer all this to Li Shimin, and Yang Qianye, who had accepted this concept since childhood, could not be persuaded by a few bitter words from him.

Although there was an unpleasant episode of the assassin's sneak attack, for Li Shimin, this autumn hunt had a lot to gain, and the biggest gain was to change the situation of the Cold War with his father that had lasted for many years. For this reason, when driving back to the palace, Li Shimin even proposed to drive for his father in person.

Li Yuan once drove for Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, but in fact, the driver at this time could not be simply understood as a driver. It is a custom that has been handed down from ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when chariots were still commonly used in combat, most of the chariot drivers who commanded chariots were close people who had aristocratic status and their status was not much lower than that of the commander on the chariot.

The equipment of a chariot, in addition to the main general on the chariot, the second highest status is the driver, not the guard who stands on the chariot and fights with the main general or guards his safety. Compared to the man above the chariot, he has the weakest protection and the most dangerous one.

The man who drove the chariot to kill was equal to the legs of the commander on the chariot, and he decided where to take the chariot and the people on the chariot with thousands of horses and horses. So he had to be not only a very brave man, but also a very intelligent person.

Passed down, driving a car for the emperor sometimes becomes a kind of honor, which means that this is a person who is extremely favored and close to the emperor, so Li Yuan drove for his cousin Yang Guang, which is by no means a humiliation, but an honor.

But despite this, Li Shimin is already the Son of Heaven after all, and the Son of Heaven drives, which is a bit excessive. Although Li Yuan was angry with his son before, he always understood which bottom lines could not be touched, and now that the father and son are peaceful, they will naturally not be unforgiving.

Due to his son's identity, he can't be allowed to drive, but his son's actions are to show the world. So Li Yuan had an idea, so he pulled Li Shimin to his chariot and said with a smile: "You are the emperor, how can you drive for your father, let the prince do it for you." ”

Li Chengqian saw that his father wanted to drive for his grandfather, but his grandfather repeatedly refused, and he wanted to drive on his father's behalf. However, for a while, he didn't know his father's intentions, for fear of patting the horse's legs, so he was overjoyed at the command of his grandfather, and hurriedly took a step forward, pulled the whip from the wheel, and said respectfully: "Please grandfather and father board the car!" ”

Li Yu looked at the corners of his eyes, with a white cloth plaster on the bridge of his nose, and next to him was Luo Zhuji, who was dancing his hands and directing the musicians to play music, seeing this scene, he secretly complained in his heart: "If you want to talk about the stage, there is really no stage more than the royal one, this day, there are so many plays, and I am not too tired." ”

The royal car finally set off, and the team slowly marched towards Chang'an City.

In the distance, on an undulating hill, Yang Qianye, Mo Baiyan, and Feng Erzhi stood quietly among the bushes, their cyan clothes blending in with the surrounding grass and trees.

The expressions of the three of them were very gloomy, and Mo Baiyan, who had always been the most determined, also looked a little gloomy at this time, and said to himself in his heart: "How many times have I tried to assassinate, sometimes I am about to succeed, and I always fall short because of many accidents. Could it be that my Great Sui is really exhausted? ”

Feng Erzhi let out a long breath of turbidity and said, "Hateful! If I had a sharp arrow that could shoot a thousand feet, I would have killed him with one arrow. ”

Yang Qianye smiled bitterly: "There is really such a magic arrow, but it is so far away that even people can't see it clearly, how can it be shot accurately?" Hard work pays off, and I think there will always be a chance. ”

Mo Baiyan frowned and said, "In the past two days that His Highness has sneaked into the palace, he has not had the slightest chance. It seems that our plan is wrong, if the two of us don't assassinate in the hunting ground first, the emperor will be more vigilant, and His Royal Highness will pretend to be a palace maid, and he will have a chance to succeed. ”

Feng Erzhi said hatefully: "What's the use of talking about this at this time, in fact, if there is not a musician flying out of a gong, it will be on the hunting ground, and you and I will also succeed." ”

Yang Qianye was a little weak-hearted, she didn't tell Mo Baiyan and Feng Erzhi that the person who ruined their good deeds on the hunting ground was still Li Yu. And this matter, when she was by Princess Gaoyang's side, she had already heard her say it.

She didn't dare to say it, in fact, when she was in the palace, she had a chance to succeed. Although Li Shimin is vigorous and skilled in martial arts, he is defenseless in his big tent. A first-class master, without any precautions, was hit by her "crane gimmick", and he could also shatter his throat bone and take his life.

It's a pity that she was held by the hand that flew out of the gong, and not only did she not have the opportunity to kill Li Shimin, but she danced a cheerful "song and dance" with Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Yu, who were mixed up with the Li family.

Think about it...... All of them will crush her silver teeth.

Yang Qianye gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Although we failed, I have come up with an excellent solution. ”

Mo Baiyan and Feng Erzhi's hearts moved, and they hurriedly said, "Your Highness, what is the best way?" ”

Yang Qianye said: "This time, I only almost succeeded. I found that although the defense of the Imperial Palace Ouchi is strong, it is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and once you can successfully blend in, there are actually many opportunities. ”

Yang Qianye turned to Mo Baiyan and Feng Erzhi, and said excitedly: "You say, how about I participate in the selection?" To be a palace maid, I'm still qualified, right? In addition, I am literate and hyphenated, no better than ordinary palace maids, I can enter the palace, and then make some money to pay female officials, it is easy to get into a position. As long as I get an envoy who can get close to the emperor, wouldn't it be easy to kill him? ”

Mo Baiyan was taken aback and said, "By all means, this time I temporarily took the history of women, and I also deliberated again and again to confirm that it was safe, so I took a risk." If Your Highness enters the palace, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Yang Qianye said: "Master Mo doesn't have to worry, by that time, I will have the status of a female official, and I will be free to enter and leave the palace." As long as the plan is clever, this side is successful, get out immediately, and before the news spreads, I have already gone away. ”

Mo Baiyan shook his head like a rattle: "If you can't do it, you can't do it!" ”

Yang Qianye hurriedly said: "The selection in the palace must be over thirteen years old, under twenty years old, I am now nineteen years old, if I don't act at this time, it will be too late to act in the future." ”

Mo Baiyan said solemnly: "Everything we have done is all thanks to His Highness Leader. His Royal Highness ventured into the palace, how could it be reasonable. ”

Feng Erzhi hesitated: "Chief, if you plan carefully, I think it seems feasible......

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the back of the head by Mo Baiyan.

Mo Baiyan grabbed Feng Erzhi, dragged him a few feet away, glanced at the inexplicable Yang Qianye, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Stupid! If the 'Flower and Bird Envoy' really chooses His Royal Highness and includes her in the palace, the emperor will first select her! With His Royal Highness's flowers and moon appearance, the country is beautiful and fragrant, how can he be a palace lady, once he is favored by the Son of Heaven and selected as a talented person, do you want His Royal Highness to serve with his body? ”

Feng Erzhi was stunned and lost his voice: "Ah! yes, I thought badly. His Royal Highness not only has outstanding appearance, manners, and temperament, but is far from being comparable to other women, once he enters the palace...... Yes, yes, His Royal Highness must not be allowed to enter the palace. ”

The "flower and bird envoy" mentioned by Mo Baiyan is the name of the person who drafted the girl during the Tang Dynasty, and was filled by the eunuchs of the inner court, who specially selected women for the palace, and had great authority. The show girl selected by it must first be passed through by the emperor, and if she feels that her appearance is outstanding, she can immediately be named a talented person, which will immediately change from an ordinary palace lady to a woman with the title of the inner court, and she has the obligation to go to bed.

Of course, you can also buy it with a lot of money, so that the "flower and bird envoy" helps cover it, but the "flower and bird envoy" has a solid authority and a large responsibility, once you enter the palace, it means that it is possible to be seen by the emperor, if the emperor sees it, he feels very beautiful, and he has not found it before, then this "flower and bird envoy" will definitely die.

In fact, the "selection system" already stipulates that those who are not selected for the selection of the families of the government and the people, but have hidden their daughters, shall be sentenced to death. Later, when Tang Xuanzong was in the past, some people wanted to get through the trick and bought off the "flower and bird envoy". That's not an ordinary person, but Tai Changqing, one of the Nine Qings.

This Tai Changqing's surname is Lu, and the daughter-in-law hired for his son is surnamed Cui, yes, both families are one of the seven families and five surnames. However, before he passed the door, Cui's was favored by the "flower and bird envoy". Lord Lu gave him a large sum of money, and he changed people.

And the person who changed was not an ordinary folk girl, or a woman from the Cui family, but not the one who had already made a marriage with the Lu family, but was denounced, and the Lu father and son were both killed with a rod for the crime of bullying the king, and the "flower and bird envoy" in the inner court was even more dead and could not die anymore.

Then I still can't want to enter the palace, and Yang Qianye wants to achieve his goal, he must enter the palace, and if he wants to enter the palace, he has to "make flowers and birds" do tricks, don't be selected by the emperor, this is too difficult. Mo Baiyan was originally the head of the inner court, and he knew this kind of thing, and no "flower and bird envoy" was willing to agree.

In order to restore the country, sacrificing a woman's innocence is nothing in the eyes of Mo Baiyan. If Yang Qianye is a man, in order to seek the great cause of restoring the country, he needs a little princess of the royal family to sacrifice herself and go to the emperor's side to be the inner room, and Mo Baiyan will definitely support it.

But his only master is a woman, send her to the palace, what if she really becomes the emperor's woman and has a true relationship with the emperor? What if you have the emperor's flesh and blood? Yang Qianye is the child he brought up since he was a child, in addition to the righteousness of the master and servant, there is also a love for grandchildren who dare not declare it. This is also a reason why Mo Baiyan absolutely can't bear to do it.

The two discussed it and returned to Yang Qianye's side again. Yang Qianye didn't know what the two of them had discussed privately, so he couldn't help but ask, "Master Mo, what did you discuss with Erzhi?" I think that's a good idea. ”

Mo Baiyan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness, the old slave was the head of the palace back then, and he knew the affairs of the male and female officials in the palace very well, and things were not as simple as His Highness imagined, this plan would not work." ”

Mo Baiyan was afraid that Yang Qianye would still have this idea, so he hurriedly said: "The old slave has thought of a feasible way, and he wants to discuss it with His Highness. ”

Yang Qianye was puzzled: "What way?" ”

Mo Baiyan said: "Your Highness heard that Princess Gaoyang say that the crown prince is at odds with Li Tai, the king of Wei? ”

Yang Qianye nodded and said, "Not bad!" The emperor favored King Wei, the position of the crown prince was in jeopardy, and the dispute between the two princes was extremely fierce. ”

Mo Baiyan touched his fake beard and said with a smile: "Luo Badao and Su Gan Chengji, now being taken by the prince as a confidant?" ”

Yang Qianye bowed his head and said: "Exactly! ”

Mo Baiyan nodded and said, "In this case, the old slave has thought of a way, let's ...... Why not take advantage of the contradiction between the crown prince and the king of Wei, and then use the handle of Luo Badao and Su Gan Chengji, who are in hand, to operate from it? ”

Yang Qianye thought about it for a while, and his eyes gradually lit up: "The prince and the king of Wei are competing for succession, its fierceness may not be easier than our attempt to restore the country, I think, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of!" ”
