After Yu Qing was beheaded by the whole family, the civil and military officials in the court originally thought that the turmoil had subsided, but to everyone's surprise, Emperor Wen's suspicion of ministers, especially military generals, became more and more day by day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wang Shiji, Wang Yi, Shi Wansui, Han Baohu and other heroes and famous generals were all executed by Emperor Wen on various trumped-up charges. Everyone in the ministers is in danger, and every day when they go to court, they tell their families to prepare for the future, for fear that one day when they go to court they will anger the emperor and end up in a different place. Due to the reason of the punishment, the relative power vacuum of the imperial court was triggered, and Emperor Wen began to promote local officials with outstanding political achievements to the center. Li Yuan's military exploits and political achievements in Longzhou and Qizhou, coupled with his relationship with Emperor Wen and Empress Dugu, were naturally the priority targets for promotion, and under the holy decree, he was ordered to be transferred to Chang'an as an envoy. And Jiancheng was also transferred to the forbidden army as an official because of his father. After receiving the holy decree, Li Yuan sighed and said to himself:

"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?!"

On the New Year's Day of the tenth year of the emperor's reign, Li Yuan came back from the court, and because Dou always felt restless in his heart, he took Li Shimin, Yuanji and Xiuning to the Daxing Temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings. So only Li Jiancheng was at home alone, and Li Jiancheng was about to serve Li Yuan for dinner, when Li Yuan waved his hand:

"It's done! You're twenty this year! ”

"Father, the child will be twenty years old after his birthday this year." Li Jiancheng respectfully returned.

Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "My father has been busy with official business all these years, and I have delayed your life's events." If a distinguished guest arrives today, you inform the kitchen to cook a few more good dishes and be sure to entertain them well. As he was talking, he heard the next person say:

"My lord, there's an adult at the door asking to see you!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately took Li Jiancheng out of the main gate to greet him, "Haha! Lord Li, come here today and disturb Lord Li! ”

"Where, Lord Zheng came to the Li Mansion, so that I can flourish here and be built! This is Lord Zheng Yuanxiu of Honglu Temple, don't come and see Lord Zheng yet! ”

Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan's call, hurriedly ran to Zheng Yuanxiu, and saluted respectfully. "Xiaosheng, see Master Zheng."

"Oh! This is the eldest prince! Sure enough, he is a young hero, a talent! Wanzhen, don't hurry up, see Lord Li, I've seen Li Gongzi, this is the little girl Wanzhen, Mrs. Xiaguan died early, she has never married, she came to the banquet today, I don't worry that she is at home alone, so I brought her along, I hope Lord Li and Gongzi don't mind! Zheng Yuanxiu returned the salute, and behind him, a beautiful woman in an emerald green palace dress lowered her head and did not speak, but her figure was petite and well-proportioned, and Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to look at it a few more times.

"Where is Lord Zheng, of course, the Mid-Autumn Festival is more crowded, the more lively! Mr. Zheng, Miss Zheng, please. ”

"Master Li, please!" After speaking, Li Yuan and Zheng Yuanxiu walked into the middle gate together, and Li Jiancheng and Zheng Wanzhen followed closely behind and entered the house. After entering the table, Li Yuan and Zheng Yuanxiu praised each other and talked happily, Li Jiancheng kept adding wine and food to them next to him, Zheng Yuanxiu was full of praise for Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan smiled and twisted his beard after hearing it. A look of pride. Only Zheng Wanzhen lowered her head alone, didn't say anything, and ate by herself. Zheng Yuanxiu saw it in his eyes and said dissatisfied:

"Wanzhen, look at other people's Li Gongzi, adding wine and food to your father and your Uncle Li at the banquet, how to be polite, you are also everyone's lady, you are never like this at home, why are you so unruly?" After speaking, he apologized to Li Yuan and said:

"Mrs. Zai died early, and the little girl was spoiled by me since she was a child, lacking etiquette rules, and she was not very good at dealing with the scene outside, which made Lord Li laugh."

"Brother Yuanxiu's words are serious, as the so-called food is silent, sleep is silent, Miss Zheng is everyone's demeanor!" Li Yuan stroked his beard and replied with a smile. When Zheng Wanzhen heard her father's reproach, she suddenly felt aggrieved in her heart, and her eyes were even more sparkling, but she tried to control it. Li Yuan saw it in his eyes, and in order to mediate the atmosphere, he said to Li Jiancheng:

"It's done! Dad has something to talk to Master Zheng, you accompany Miss Zheng to the garden, so you don't need to. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jiancheng.

"Yes! Father! The child obeys! Li Jiancheng should admit it.

"Dad, my daughter retired first." Zheng Wanzhen also saluted Zheng Yuanxiu. The voice is like a yellow warbler, and it is associative in Li Jiancheng's ears. Although Li Yuan's mansion in Chang'an is not big, it is also quite luxurious, especially the garden, which is taken care of by the Dou family. Under the bright moonlight, the scenery of the garden was still very beautiful, but Zheng Wanzhen still frowned, and Li Jiancheng saw all of Zheng Wanzhen's face. I saw her curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes set off her beautiful eyes, and the girl's unique body fragrance was even more intoxicating at night。。。。。。

"Li Gongzi, in fact, we all know the purpose of my father asking me to come here, but I ask Li Gongzi to understand the righteousness and let me go! Your Li family officials are high and powerful, what kind of woman can't find it, so ask the son to put down this family business, return the little girl's free body, and hope that the son will be fulfilled. The little woman must be grateful in her heart, and when Li Gongzi is looking for a good mate again in the future, Wanzhen will definitely bring heavy gifts to congratulate her, and vigorously promote Li Gongzi's virtues outside. Li Jiancheng was about to talk to Zheng Wanzhen, but Zheng Wanzhen suddenly knelt on the ground and prayed to him, and her eyes were even more fluorescent, which made Li Jiancheng at a loss. I had to help her up, while comforting her. But Zheng Wanzhen didn't eat her set, and begged vigorously, Li Jiancheng had to promise her first, delay first, and then find a way later. Zheng Wanzhen burst into tears and laughed, dancing like a child. Li Jiancheng saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was funny or angry.

Li Yuan and Zheng Yuanxiu had a very happy conversation, and when Zheng's father and daughter were about to return home, Li Yuan took Zheng Yuanxiu's hand and was reluctant. And Zheng Wanzhen's behavior is very different from when she first came, when she was about to get into the carriage, she urged Zheng Yuanxiu vigorously, Zheng Yuanxiu and Li Yuan glanced at each other, and laughed knowingly, only Li Jiancheng knew what was going on - this Zheng Wanzhen was like a naïve little girl, thinking that why it was in her own control, others would revolve around it, and it was not good to explain it in front of Li Yuan and Zheng Yuanxiu. Only a bitter smile in my heart.
