At the beginning of the new emperor, the undercurrent was thirty years old
Xu Jingzong smiled coldly:
"It's better to say anything else, that's it, don't mention it!
You don't want to think about it, if Your Majesty is really a good person, why hasn't the palace been sealed so far?
But ......"
Xu Jingzong said thoughtfully:
"What you said reminded the old man of one thing: there was a rumor in the palace that when His Majesty was the crown prince, he didn't like the princess. On the contrary, I like Na Liangdi Xiao very much......"
The manager immediately realized:
"What do you mean by going to meet that Xiao Liangdi?"
Xu Jingzong nodded:
"Your Majesty has not sealed the palace so far, nominally because of the great filial piety of the first emperor, maybe...... Does he have any other intentions? β
The manager exclaimed:
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to make Liangdi the queen? Can...... But how can the Taiyuan Wang clan be willing? β
Xu Jingzong shook his head:
"No matter how big the Taiyuan Wang family is, can it be bigger than the Son of Heaven? I think that the old man had heard a secret saying that when His Majesty married the crown princess, he had to obey because of the edict of the first emperor.
Ahh The old man has been in the officialdom for decades, and he can still see through the hearts of such people.
This majesty seems to be gentle and cowardly, but in fact, in his bones, he is afraid that he is the most stubborn. You think, although Your Majesty is filial, the holy will of the first emperor cannot be violated, so you have to marry the crown princess.
But now it's different.
Now he is His Majesty, the Son of Heaven. Who is going to be the queen, that's not what he wants to do?
So, maybe this Xiao Liangdi is still wearing Yi Feng's robe, but not necessarily! β
The steward nodded:
"My lord, the old slave remembered the rumors in the ** a few days ago, saying that the reason why King Yuanjing got the current position of Situ was because His Majesty took the matter of His Majesty and an old concubine of the previous dynasty the day before he ascended the throne and asked His Majesty, His Majesty was forced to be helpless, so he reused it with him......"
"How is that possible!"
Xu Jingzong sneered:
At that time, the old man also heard it clearly in the palace, so Li Yuanjing was talking about His Majesty and the Wu family, the first emperor's talent...... But who in this world doesn't know, if it weren't for this martial artist, I'm afraid that His Majesty wouldn't have lived to be today.
He was just grateful. β
The manager immediately laughed and said:
"It's the old slave who doesn't know anything...... But my lord, shall we go then...... Meet that Xiao Liangdi? β
Xu Jingzong thought for a while before saying:
The old man remembered that in this offering, Lingnan paid tribute to a string of quite beautiful Canaan bracelets. You go and get it, and think of a way to put it in the hands of the one in the East Palace. β
August 24, 23rd year of Zhenguan.
Changan.
Tai Chi Palace.
East Palace.
Outside the gate of Yichun Palace.
Xu Jingzong, who was dressed in court clothes, wiped his head full of cold sweat and stumbled out of the guest corner tower inside.
Seeing this, Xu Da, the chief steward standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but when he was about to ask a child, he saw Xu Jingzong wave his hand and motioned for the straight pipe to go forward.
Xu Da was also clever, and immediately helped Xu Jingzong to sit down in a gazebo, and then asked softly:
"What's the matter, sir? It's good to go in, how can you ...... in a moment?"
Xu Jingzong shook his head, still shocked in his heartβjust like the shock he had just after seeing Xiao Liangdi for the first time.
However, he must have been a wise man, so after a while, he got up and whispered to Xu Dao:
"Let's go, go home!"
β¦β¦
An hour later.
Seeing Xu Jingzong's demeanor, Xu Da was really worried, so he asked again.
Xu Jingzong changed his clothes and drank hot tea, and then his heart was a little settled, so he said slowly:
"Alas...... It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven...... The old man never thought that King Jing had really caught something......"
Xu Da was stunned, and then exclaimed:
"Why, could it be that martial artist...... But why do adults know? β
Xu Jingzong glanced at him and said softly:
"If you've seen that Xiao Liangdi, you'll know...... In the world, there are such similar women. And she is the most favored woman of His Majesty......
You said, a woman is so like that martial artist, and there are rumors in the palace that Your Majesty has an affair with that martial artist, and Your Majesty loves a woman like her so much......
Why is this tangled? β
Xu Da exclaimed:
"Because of Nawu...... That...... How's that good? If such things are preached...... My lord, do we have to be careful, don't you have anything to do with that martial artist? β
Xu Jingzong thought about it, but smiled:
"Nothing to do with it? What are you talking about? β
Xu Da was dazed and looked at Xu Jingzong.
"God help me, I want to get a glimpse of His Majesty's mind, and now I finally let me know that I will definitely be able to win His Majesty's heart...... How can the old man not make good use of it? β
Xu Da suddenly:
"What you mean by your lordship is to borrow the power of martial arts talents...... But she is now living in the deep palace, but we can't be like Xiao Liangdi who lives in the East Palace, but under the pretext that something was left in the East Palace before, ask Xiao Liangdi to find her like this? β
Xu Jingzong thought about it, but said lightly:
"It's really hard. But if you really have a heart, then there is nothing difficult in the world.
Ah Da, you go and arrange for the old man to meet with Xu Chongrong's father!
With him here, presumably the old man will be able to see the face of this martial artist in a few days! β
Xu Jingzong smiled proudly.
Ah Da suddenly went to arrange it.
β¦β¦
It's night.
Tai Chi Palace.
Tai Chi Hall.
Li Zhi was dressed in a plain white robe with silver and blue piping, sitting behind the jade case, looking at those songs.
Wang De and De'an stood on one side.
After a while, Ming An rushed in and whispered a few words to Wang De.
Wang De frowned, nodded, and then came to Li Zhi, first crossed his hand and gave a bow, and then attached it to Li Zhi's ear and said a few words softly.
Li Zhi immediately sank his face and stopped writing, and asked:
"How did he know?"
Wang De hurriedly crossed his hands and said respectfully:
"This afternoon, Lord Xu said that he had some important things left in the East Palace. And because the crown princess was uneasy and should not be disturbed, she asked to see Xiao Liangdi. Then ......"
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, lost his pen, lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he said:
"But what's the action?"
"Back to the Lord, Lord Xu has already tried to use Xu Chongrong's father to arrange a meeting with the martial artists...... Lord, what is the present? β
Li Zhi gritted his teeth:
"At this time, Japan came to think that Mei Niang would be hidden in the Yunze Palace, or the current crisis could be solved.
And after a long time, those people forgot about her, and she was also at peace......
This Xu Jingzong ......"
Seeing this, Wang De thought about it for a while but persuaded:
Actually, there is no need for the Lord to be so angry. Speaking of which, this is not an opportunity for martial artists! β
Li Zhi was stunned and looked at him:
"Opportunity?"
Wang De nodded, and said:
"The Lord is now alone in the middle of the court. Although this Xu Jingzong is not a good minister, he also has talent and wisdom. If it can be used well, it is not a sharp weapon.
It's just that he is not bent on taking the right path, and if the Lord wants to use it, he will inevitably use evil against evil.
But in the final analysis, Lord, you are the king of a nation, and although you know what to do, you should not do it after all.
Martial artists are different.
As a woman, she is now an eventful time, and it is normal for her to seek mutual benefit with this Xu Jingzong. And if she can't help Xu Jingzong, can she still escape from the current predicament? β
Li Zhi thought about it for a while and felt that it was not unreasonable, so he nodded silently.
