Text 929 Zhenguan Hall in the Snow

Li Hong nodded with satisfaction, and his method was very simple, nothing more than before Di Renjie and others impeached, investigated, and arrested the descendants of some old courtiers, the royal family first issued an order to these old ministers, which probably means: After they are a hundred years old, the royal family can let them be buried around Li Zhi's mausoleum, to show the royal favor to them and the affirmation of history to them.

In the face of such a glorious royal gift, these people who have lived a handful of years and have been chasing "fame" all their lives are undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and praise for them.

After all, once the royal family recognized that they could accompany the burial of the emperor, they needed to be given a nickname by the royal family, so in this way, in the face of the temptation of fame, presumably even if these people knew that Li Hong would embarrass their children and grandchildren, they would not make too much trouble.

Wu Mei nodded thoughtfully, for the method proposed by Li Hong, at this time, it is not a feasible method, after all, no one is sure whether Li Zhi can survive this winter.

Even her daughter-in-law Pei Wanying, during this period of time, the sadness on her face has become more and more, soaking in the medical hall of Guozijian every day, flipping through all the books, every time she returns in vain, every time her expression is gloomy, obviously, even if she reads the entire book of medicine of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to let Your Majesty survive this winter.

Everything that happened in Luoyang Palace is like a weather vane for the entire Tang Dynasty, this winter is much colder than previous winters, and this year's snow is also more than in previous years.

A few days ago, when Li Zhi was the most sick, Luoyang City would basically have some snowflakes scattered every few days, and in the long days of winter, because there would be snowflakes suddenly from time to time, so this winter's warm day, when the weather is sunny, it is not common.

Most of the time, the sky above me was gloomy and gloomy, without a trace of life, just like the solemn Tang Palace, which had been carrying a trace of heaviness and depression during this time.

Li Sujie, Li Shangjin, Li Xian, Li Zhe, Li Dan and Li Lingyue, including other princes in the royal family, would be summoned into the palace from time to time by the Hongling envoy who galloped out of the palace to meet the Emperor Li Zhi.

No matter who entered the Zhenguan Palace, together or alone, everyone walked out of Li Zhi's dormitory with a look on their faces that was even more gloomy than the gloomy weather.

Li Hong has basically lived in the temple next to the Zhenguan Palace these days, just like ordinary people, once there is something in the Zhenguan Palace, he will immediately get up from the bed and run into the Zhenguan Palace.

At the beginning, the East Palace of Luoyang Palace, after being idle for many days, was assigned to Li Sujie and others by Li Hong, and became their temporary residence, so that even if there was something, they could rush to Zhenguan Hall as soon as possible.

There is nothing big about it after the court enters the winter, so Li Hong doesn't need to be too distracted by the court, except for what Di Renjie and the others have been doing this winter, there is nothing worth thinking about.

And the old courtiers who had been visiting Li Zhi in the Zhenguan Hall a few days ago, after Li Hong promulgated the list of funeral companions, some of them disappeared inexplicably the next day and did not continue to appear in the Zhenguan Palace.

The snow outside the window began to fall again, this time compared to the snow of the previous days was much more serious, and the fine snowflakes began to increase gradually after less than half an hour of brewing, and now the snowflakes can be called goose feather snow.

Whether it is Luoyang Palace or the entire Luoyang City, it has now been covered by a thin layer of snow, and the Luoyang River, which has long been frozen, has also disappeared into Luoyang City in the snowy weather, and has been covered by layers of continuous snow, covering up its true face, and completely blending with everything in Luoyang City.

In the side hall of Zhenguan Palace, there is a spring-like warmth, forming two worlds with the cold scene outside.

Li Xian, who was one-armed, walked to the door of the side hall, and saw that Hua Meng was already standing at the door waiting for him, put away the umbrella in his hand with one hand, and rubbed his feet on the mat at the door for a long time, and then looked at Hua Meng with a smile and asked, "Can the imperial brother be inside?" ”

"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study." After Hua Meng saluted, he replied with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and you're old, and you have gray hair." Li Xian looked at Hua Meng, whose temples were already white, and said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, the slave has been serving His Majesty for thirty years, and it is time for her to be old. You inside please. Hua Meng bowed and saluted again.

Now Li Xian has not restored the identity of the prince, although this time when he returned to Luoyang, Fang Muqing and the children followed, and after arriving in Luoyang, he also enjoyed the treatment of the prince, but now His Majesty has not decreed the restoration of Li Xian's identity, so Hua Meng has been avoiding the embarrassing problem of addressing Li Xian when talking to Li Xian.

"Thank you." Li Xian also thanked Hua Meng again.

After being exiled to Anxi all these years, whether it is the years or the difficult conditions, King Pei, who was high-spirited and dared to compete with His Majesty today, has already lost his edges and corners.

The kind of invincible and lofty nobility in Chang'an at the beginning has now been restrained or dissipated, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that although an arm was cut off by His Majesty in Pei Wangfu back then, it did not affect Li Xian's handsome appearance since childhood.

Now after years of precipitation, Li Xian, who is also in his thirties, looks more like a graceful and elegant introverted scholar, with a kind of introverted temperament that Hua Meng can't say clearly, but it feels like an open-minded and broad temperament.

"Brother Li Xian has seen the imperial brother." Li Xian's slightly magnetic voice sounded at the door of the unclosed study.

Li Hong, who was inside, put down the music in his hand and looked at Li Xian standing at the door, his cheeks were slightly red from the cold because of the wind and snow, but even if it wasn't, Li Xian's cheeks, because of his years in Anxi, were somewhat plateau red.

"Come in, sit down." Li Hong smiled at Li Xian, then got up from behind the desk, pointed to the sofa in front of the window, and gestured to Li Xian.

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Li Xian walked into the study, saluted Li Hong again, and then walked generously to the sofa in front of the window, and sat down calmly in a position at the bottom.

"Black tea or milk tea? Black tea bar, nourishing the stomach, Luoyang is not better than Anxi, the food combination is relatively reasonable, not like you in Anxi, there are too few vegetables, too much beef and mutton, you have to drink some milk tea to consume. Li Hong did not sit in the main seat, but sat down opposite Li Xian.

"Then black tea, it's not bad to warm up, I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while today." Li Xian smiled, somewhat avoiding Li Hong's gaze, and moved his gaze to the wind and snow outside the window and said.

"Yes, I guess it's going to rain for a long time this time, but compared to the snow over there in Anxi, I'm afraid it's still a bit of a trivial." Li Hong recruited the palace maid and began to make tea for the two brothers quietly.

The door of the study was gently brought forward by Hua Meng, who was standing outside, and Hua Meng was heard whispering to the palace maid and eunuch: "Remember, no one is allowed to disturb Your Majesty, be clever today, don't mess with Your Majesty." ”

The two brothers listened to the last moment the door closed, Hua Meng's voice of admonishing the other palace maids and eunuchs, while Li Xian lowered his head and smiled implicitly.

It has been seven or eight days since he returned to the Central Plains and the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, especially in Luoyang, which has been haunted by his dreams, except for when he first came back, he was summoned to Zhenguan Hall to visit his father, Li Xian has not seen anyone else in Luoyang.

And even if some people came to visit him in person and invited him, he refused them one by one, and he didn't even meet, during this period of time, it was basically the imperial palace, his temporary residence in Luoyang, and then it became the East Palace to the Zhenguan Palace, simple and monotonous.

"How about it, when you return to Chang'an, you can still get used to everything?" Li Hong leaned back comfortably on the sofa, looked at Li Xian and asked.

"It's good, just a few days after I came back, there is no habit that I am not used to, but what I didn't expect is that there are still some people in Luoyang who still remember me, and after visiting my father and mother, someone sent a name to the house." Li Xian shook his head with a smile, looked at the reddish-brown tea and said.

"It's normal, after all, you are the prince of my Tang royal family, my own brother, and it is normal for some people to look for you. Taste this tea, it's better than what you can do in Anxi. Li Hong picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea, and said to Li Xian.

"I'm just curious about these ubiquitous people, it stands to reason that when I go back to Luoyang, you shouldn't make a big deal about it everywhere, but how do they know the specific itinerary, and even after I enter Luoyang, they know that I am back." Li Xian is very honest, he believes that now in Datang, he can't have any secrets at all.

Li Hong has been the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for nearly six years, and in the past six years, except for the wealthy nobles led by the five surnames and Qiwang this winter, who provoked the incident of risking death and direct advice, Li Hong has not encountered any tricky things at all in the past few years in charge of the Tang Dynasty and the court.

Of course, if you insist on saying that there is, it is a natural disaster in the first two years, and it is said that Li Hong almost made an edict of guilt, but no matter what, Li Hong, who has never lost since he was a child, finally survived unharmed.

"What's so strange about this, these days, my father's dragon body is getting worse and worse, and some old courtiers in the Zhenguan Palace come to visit my father every day, and some people are fortunate enough to be summoned by my father to the apse to meet them, maybe I learned from my father's mouth that you will return to Luoyang in the near future." Li Hong followed Li Xian's line of sight and looked out the window, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was gradually accumulating thicker and thicker.

Li Xian looked at the tireless snowflakes falling from the sky outside the window, sighed again and said: "There is only the word fame and fortune in the world, which can make people take risks, even at the cost of their lives...... How hard it is. ”

"I can't say that, if I can not slack off on myself when I was in power, and I can make some well-being for the court and the people, then it will naturally be famous in history, and there is no need to be at this time, with a shy old face, I hope that the court can give them a name. By the way, let's talk about the Shrine City. Li Hong put down the teacup and began to get to the point.
