Chapter 44 Luoyang's Autumn Rain Continues, and the People Who Return from the North Enter the East Palace (2)
(2nd Update)
On the way back to Luoyang day and night, news was conveyed from Luoyang to Li Congjing, and because of the fixed route chosen, Li Congjing was able to learn the situation in Luoyang in time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Siyuan's condition is still not improving, and the courtiers are a little panicked, but fortunately, the prime ministers An Chongzhi, Li Qi, and Ren Yuan can stabilize the overall situation, so the affairs of the various ministries will not be affected, and there is no sign of chaos in Luoyang.
Some time ago, when the government had just been rectified and the feudal towns were weakened, many people suffered, and at this time, if some Xiaoxiao jumped out to make trouble, although it would not turn the sky upside down, it was enough to make people panic. But at this time, a person stood up and single-handedly grasped the security of Luoyang.
Song King Li Conghou.
This does not make Li Congjing feel unusual, Li Conghou has been taught by him for many years, although his talent is not as good as Li Congrong, but after many years, he is not a simple-minded person who does not understand any means.
But since Li Siyuan was seriously ill, Li Conghou has never set foot in Miyagi.
Li Congjing, Li Congrong, Li Conghou, and even the young Li Congyi were not born to the same mother, especially Li Congyi's biological mother, but now the most favored concubine Wang, at this time, if some concubines in the palace want to collude with some relatives and important ministers, it is not unimaginable to make a moth, so the palace is actually more treacherous than outside the palace.
To Li Congjing's surprise, someone stabilized the overall situation in the palace at this time, making Li Siyuan seriously ill and sleeping, and there was no chaos in the palace, this person turned out to be the princess Li Yongning.
Li Yongning did not go to Xiazhou, this was Li Yongning himself to ask Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan cared about Xiazhou's hardship, and he couldn't bear Li Yongning to suffer, so he approved her request. Although Li Yongning lives in the princess's mansion at ordinary times, he basically accompanies the concubines in the palace with nothing to do, and occasionally helps Li Siyuan do some work to sort out the chapters.
Li Congjing received news that Li Yongning sat in the palace and personally supervised the palace patrol, but all foreign ministers except for a few prime ministers, no matter why, they could not set foot in the palace ban without summoning, otherwise they would be beaten to death once they were caught, this princess did not have this power, but she did it unreasonably, and none of the prime ministers stood up to oppose it, because this princess did not even let Li Conghou enter the palace, and her attitude was very clear: Before His Majesty recovered, only King Qin was allowed to enter the palace gate.
Fortunately, although Chuzhou is more than 1,000 miles away from Luoyang, Li Congjing only took the guards to travel day and night, and rushed back in a few days.
Before entering the city, Li Congjing saw the civil and military officials greeting him in front of the city gate from a distance.
"Your Majesty has an order, after the King of Qin returns, he will first go back to the house to change his clothes, and then enter the palace to meet him." The one who said this was the princess Li Yongning, who stood in front of the civil and military officials, and her words were extraordinary.
Li Congjing dismounted and saluted everyone, "I have to work for everyone." ”
"Your Highness is back, I will be at peace!" An Chongzhi sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the atmosphere in Luoyang City has been too depressing these days, as if the ghosts and spirits will jump out to eat people at any time, and now that Li Congjing has returned to Luoyang, no matter what the situation in the palace is, the situation can be stable.
After Li Congjing entered the city, he rushed towards the Qin Palace, and halfway through, Li Yongning suddenly stopped him, "You are going the wrong way." ”
Li Congjing was stunned and didn't know what to mean.
Li Yongning smiled, this smile was like a white cloud in the sky, flickering far and near, "Go to the East Palace." ”
Before Li Congjing could speak, Li Yongning added: "This is what my father meant, you don't have to go to the Qin Palace, you don't have to go to the Qin Palace, you can stay in the East Palace directly." ”
When Li Congjing came to the East Palace, Ren Wanru and others had gathered at the gate of the mansion to greet each other.
"When my father asked you to rush back to Luoyang, he ordered the family members of the Qin Wangfu to move into the East Palace, and when my father's health improved, I am afraid that the first thing he would do was to canonize you as the crown prince." On the way to the palace, Li Yongning said to Li Congjing, "When the time comes, we will make a canonization gift." ”
After entering the palace, Li Congjing first saw Cao's family, and then saw Li Siyuan, although the latter was still on the couch, but did not lie down, but had already sat up, and was looking at him with a smile, Li Congjing was not surprised by this, Li Yongning said on the way that Li Siyuan's condition improved slightly today.
"Minister, meet Your Majesty!" Li Congjing saluted in front of the couch.
"Okay, get up, look at your dusty appearance, I'm afraid you haven't closed your eyes for many days." Li Siyuan smiled warmly and motioned for Li Congjing to sit down on the couch.
Seeing the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the next thing is to meet the father and son.
Li Congjing first inquired about Li Siyuan's condition, and when he was told by the imperial doctor that there was no major problem, he was very relieved, and then after talking about himself, Li Siyuan asked about the Jianghuai war, so after more than an hour, Li Siyuan rested after taking medicine, Li Congjing withdrew from the room and went outside the room to talk to Cao.
Leaving the palace, Li Congjing and Li Yongning returned home together, now Li Congjing has returned, and Li Siyuan's condition has also improved a lot, Li Yongning has no need to continue to guard in the palace, she has not rested well for many days, and she is also tired at this time, and she is about to go back to the house to slow down.
In the next few days, Li Congjing entered the palace in the morning, and recuperated in the East Palace in the afternoon, and the officials mainly from the Ministry of Rites went in and out of the East Palace, busy with the matter of canonizing the prince, Li Siyuan was ill for many days, and now although his condition has improved, he does not have much energy to deal with political affairs.
Since this dynasty, only Taizong has served as Shangshu Ling, and it has been vacant since then, and no one has held this position, and now Li Congjing has served as Shangshu Ling, and it is needless to say what the meaning is.
About half a month later, Li Siyuan's illness was almost better, and the early dynasty, which had been delayed for a while, began again, and all the ministers saw Li Siyuan, who was in good spirits in the early dynasty, and praised this as the joy that the king of Qin brought to the emperor after his return.
After dispersing the early dynasty, Li Siyuan called Li Congjing to Chongwen Palace, and the two discussed major matters.
"Now that the Jianghuai war situation has been decided, you don't have to go back, after the canonization ceremony, you will assist me in Luoyang to deal with the big politics." Although Li Siyuan's words are ordinary, the meaning is self-evident, Li Siyuan's own body bones must be counted, and he does not want to repeat the old things that Li Congjing ran thousands of miles back before, that is, Li Siyuan is no big problem this time, if there are really three long and two short, the matter is a little serious.
Governing national politics also requires experience and accumulation of experience, although Li Congjing has also participated in political affairs before, after all, he has never led the overall situation, and there are still many differences.
Seeing that Li Siyuan's body recovered, Li Congjing's mood was completely relaxed, these are two father and son soldiers who have fought side by side together, and the depth of their feelings is very comparable.
Li Congjing, who was angry with Panasonic, was finally able to let go of his hands and feet after returning to the East Palace, and the first to suffer was naturally Ren Wanru, the oldest princess of Qin, who is now a completely ripe honey-peach, with a huge breast-bee waist and fat buttocks, and her every move is full of charm, even if it is just sitting there and looking at people, it is enough to make people's appetite move.
The red candles in the curtain wept, the clouds and rain in the middle of the night, the war ended in Ren Wanru's begging for mercy, Li Congjing was still holding the half-exposed Princess Qin with fragrant shoulders, one hand pillowed under the head to taste the aftertaste, at this time it is a pity that there is no cigarette, otherwise it will be perfect, Li Congjing can't help but think of whether it is necessary to make the dry tobacco out first, but even if it is finished, after the incident, lying on the couch and smoking an old smoking gun, the scene is too funny.
Ren Wanru lay on Li Congjing's body with half of her body, panting slightly, drawing circles on Li Congjing's chest with her fingers, her face was flushed, which was particularly charming, she twisted her waist, she wanted to change to a more comfortable position, but unexpectedly provoked Li Congjing again, feeling the big insect that grew up in an instant, the blush on Ren Wanru's face became greater.
Li Congjing grabbed a handful of her majestic balls, and his fingers bent and pinched out a charming shape, which provoked Ren Wan to gasp again and again, and her body writhed like a water snake, just when Li Congjing was about to turn over and fight again, Ren Wan dodged like a frightened rabbit, "The concubine can't stand the toss, Your Highness should go find Xiaohua!" ”
Li Congjing, who was about to be hungry for a wolf, was full of confusion when he heard this, confused like a child, "Who is Xiaohua?" ”
Ren Wanru rolled her eyes, "Meng Xiaohua, His Royal Highness brought it back from Taiyuan, so I forgot it?" ”
Li Congjing suddenly realized, but he pounced on Ren Wanru with a smile, "That's a matter for the future, you don't want to run away tonight." ”
After Ren Wanru, who was flushed all over her body, was sent to the sky again, she begged for mercy weakly, "Your Highness...... If you're too lazy to walk, why don't you call her over...... Concubine, it's really not good......"
Li Congjing's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea." ”
When Meng Xiaohua entered the door with doubts and apprehensions, when she saw the two people who were fighting fiercely, her face turned red with shame, and she was about to turn around and flee, but at this time, she heard Ren Wanru's voice that made people want to find a crack in the ground to get into, "Sister...... Come and save me......."
When Meng Xiaohua twisted and pinched her head and moved over to undress, Ren Wanru urged vigorously, causing her delicate body as white as mutton fat jade to tremble, but Li Congjing said: "You don't need to take off your clothes, just take off your dirty pants." ”
...... Ellipsis......
......
When Li Congjing went to the princess's mansion to visit Li Yongning, the other party was sitting under a locust tree in the courtyard, holding a book and reading, the leaves were scattered in the autumn wind, and Li Yongning, who was wearing a plain long skirt, was fluttering slightly.
Li Congjing walked over and said, "Reading in the yard, aren't you afraid of being blown by the cold wind?" ”
Li Yongning turned his head and showed a faint smile without distance, "I'm not that delicate." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Congjing, who was sitting in front of him, "It's been so many days before I remembered to come to visit, and your conscience is feeding the fish in the river?" ”
Li Congjing said hesitantly: "Even if you want to feed the fish, you will feed the fish in Luoshui." ”
Li Yongning put down the book, blinked his bright eyes, and said with interest: "But why?" ”
Li Congjing said with a smile: "Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." ”
For some reason, hearing this, Li Yongning glared at Li Congjing with disgust, and then his cheeks flew away, making Li Congjing wonder for a while.
Accompanied Li Yongning to talk for a while, and played a few games of chess with her, and finally Li Yongning actually asked to learn martial arts with Li Congjing, Li Congjing would never refuse this sister, so he naturally agreed, but to Li Congjing's surprise, Li Yongning didn't know when he practiced a good skill.
It wasn't until dusk and sunset that Li Yongning stopped panting, covered in sweat.
When putting the long sword back on the weapon shelf, Li Yongning accidentally looked up and saw the sunset in the west, and she was a little distracted for a while, and the cold wind blew the wet hair on her cheeks, but she didn't even notice it.
Li Congjing put on his clothes for Li Yongning, "What's the matter, don't catch a cold." ”
Li Yongning didn't care about the clothes draped on his back, and suddenly hugged Li Congjing around his waist, and his head was close to the other party's chest.
Li Congjing was a little surprised and embarrassed, and he didn't know where to put his hand for a while.
Li Yongning's voice was like a mosquito, "Hold it for a while." ”
Li Congjing came over after all, and it doesn't hurt to hug each other, "Then hug for a while." ”
When he wrapped his arms around Li Yongning's shoulders, Li Yongning's body shrank slightly.
The setting sun, staring at these two people, covered his face with the horizon.
......
On the day of the winter solstice in the first year of Changxing, thousands of people in Luoyang City were empty, whether they were high-ranking officials and nobles or commoners in the market, they all rushed to Mingde Gate.
There is an altar two miles on the east side of the road outside the city gate, the altar system is four, each is eight feet high and one inch, the lower becomes twenty zhang wide, and then becomes fifteen zhang wide, and three becomes ten zhang wide.
Every year on the winter solstice, the emperor worships the god of Haotian here.
"Zuo Biography" has clouds, and the major events of the country are only worship and Rong.
Since Tiancheng, every year on the winter solstice, Li Siyuan has personally sacrificed, but this year is different.
"Kaiyuan Ceremony" has a system, if the Son of Heaven does not pro-sacrifice, then the three princes act.
The person who presides over the sacrifice to the God of Haotian this year is not the Three Princes.
It's the crown prince of the dynasty, Li Congjing!
