Outside Chang'an City, a team of people came to the north gate of Chang'an City. The leader was a teenager of nearly twenty years old. I saw the young man facing the city gate of Chang'an, looking at the city wall of Chang'an and shouting:

"Chang'an City! I'm finally back! A middle-aged man who looked like he was about forty years old next to him congratulated the young man:

"Your Highness, you're finally back." The boy looked at the servants beside him.

"That's it! You're tired too, let's hurry up and go home! The group quickly ran into Chang'an. In Chang'an Taiji Palace, Queen Zheng Wanzhen has been waiting anxiously at the gate of the palace:

"Why haven't you come back yet, didn't you say you'd be back today? Why is there no one yet!? Chunyan, the chief palace maid who was waiting for Zheng Wanzhen, stepped forward and said to Zheng Wanzhen:

"Queen Mother, Your Highness sent someone the day before yesterday to say that if you come back today, you will definitely come back!" Zheng Wanzhen looked at Chunyan.

"Ahh Chunyan! What do you think of Hongu's dress? Also, how is Hongu's complexion? Zheng Wanzhen has been nervous since she heard that Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, was coming back. From time to time, he asked the palace maids under his command about his complexion and dress, and the palace maids and eunuchs under Zheng Wanzhen were no longer surprised. Just when Zheng Wanzhen was anxiously asking the palace maid and eunuch beside her, she heard shouting outside:

"His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan is back, His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan is back, His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan is back, His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan is back!" Coming to the queen's hall over and over again, Zheng Wanzhen's heart suddenly rose.

"Mother, mother!"

"Ahh Lu'er! It's Lu'er! Did you hear that? It's Lu Er, it's Lu Er's voice! Listen, it's Lu Er's voice! ”

"Mother, mother!"

"Oops! Lu'er! It's my Lu'er! ”

"Queen Mother!" Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, knelt in front of Zheng Wanzhen.

"Queen Mother!"

"Smack!" Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, was slapped in the face, and the eunuchs and palace maids around saw that Zheng Wanzhen gave Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, a slap, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads. Zheng Wanzhen cried and said to Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan:

"You unfilial son, you ran out for more than a year before you came back, do you know how much your mother misses you, you unfilial son! Unfilial son! I'll beat you an unfilial son, I'll beat you an unfilial son! Zheng Wanzhen gently hit Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, with her hand.

"You unfilial son, I finally conceived in October, suffered a lot, and gave birth to you, but what happened to you? As soon as you get outside, your mind is like a bird, and it flies outside. Why are you coming back? Die outside! You don't want to come back! The more Zheng Wanzhen spoke, the more sad she became. Crying directly, Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, knelt on the ground and didn't speak. Let Zheng Wanzhen vent. Who knows, Zheng Wanzhen seems to be addicted, crying all the time, making trouble all the time, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her dare not persuade her, so she only knelt on the ground and didn't speak. However, let the queen continue to make trouble like this year after year, how will it end when the time comes? Just when the people around were thinking about how to end the game, they only heard another shout outside:

"The emperor has arrived! Everyone in the Queen's Palace welcomes you! When Empress Zheng Wanzhen heard this voice, she immediately stopped her movements. Pulled up Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, and knelt at the gate of the palace. When Li Jiancheng came:

"Ahh Zitong! I heard that Chenglu was back, so I came right away. Well! This is ......" Li Jiancheng saw tears on Zheng Wanzhen's face, and saw a 'five-clawed golden dragon' on Li Chenglu's face. Immediately asked Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan:

"What? Chenglu, did you make your queen mother angry?! You kid, why are you so worry-free!? ”

"Ahh The son is guilty! When Zheng Wanzhen heard Li Jiancheng blame her son, she immediately said to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty! In fact, it's all the concubine's fault! The concubine wanted to be anxious, and suddenly saw her son, and she was emotional for a while, so she shot harder. Please forgive the emperor! ”

"Ahh Father! Everything is the fault of the sons, it is the sons and daughters who are not filial, everything is the fault of the sons! ”

"Nope! It's the concubine's fault! If the emperor wants to punish him, punish his concubines! Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Hey! Alright, alright! It's a good thing that Chenglu is back, how can it be like suffering. Okay, since it's all a misunderstanding, let's all get up! Also, Chenglu! How did you prepare for the homework I gave you? Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, was about to answer, and Queen Zheng Wanzhen replied first:

"Your Majesty! Lu Er has just come back, and she hasn't bathed and changed her clothes yet, besides, the saddle horse is tired all the way, so let Lu Er bathe and change clothes first, and rest first. Zheng Wanzhen deliberately coquettishly scolded Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng also knew that Li Chenglu was tired all the way, and he didn't want to dwell on this issue. Immediately nodded in agreement. At this time, Queen Zheng Wanzhen muttered in Li Jiancheng's ear:

"Your Majesty! Chenglu is now an adult! It's time to marry your own son! The concubine wants to talk about the last family thing for Cheng Lu'er!! ”

"Hmmm! Who's the best girl!? Zheng Wanzhen bowed her head and replied:

"Your Majesty! She is the granddaughter of the former Sui Pei Renji Pei Da General! Bae Shuying! Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard that it was Pei Renji's granddaughter—because Pei Renji only had two sons in total. One is Pei Xingyan, and the other is Pei Xingjian. Pei Xingjian's identity, Li Jiancheng has entrusted the local officials in the Bashu area to investigate clearly. Pei Xingjian's mother, Zhang, was born in the Zhang family in Chengdu. Moreover, Pei Xingjian is also from the Zhang family, and he is indeed Pei Renji's flesh and blood, but he has never been married. Then, this Pei Shuying was only born to Pei Xingyan. However, Pei Xingyan has died in Luoyang, and he has no heirs! Li Jiancheng did not speak. Empress Jung Wan-jin went on to explain:

"Your Majesty! This matter is Pei Xiangguo's media! Drink! Coincidentally, this General Pei Xingjian was recommended by Lord Pei Lian! And this Pei Shuying Pei girl was also recommended by Pei Xiangguo. It seems that it is really the Pei family in the world! After Zheng Wanzhen saw Li Jiancheng's reaction, she knew in her heart that Li Jiancheng must be suspecting something? Simply, Zheng Wanzhen threw the whole thing on Pei Lian. In this way, it was also taken off cleanly, and when the time came, Li Jiancheng's board fell on Li Chenglu's head. Li Jiancheng said to Empress Zheng Wanzhen:

"Ahh Zitong! I still have something to do! In the evening, I held a banquet in the Xuanzheng Hall to comfort Chenglu and you! By the way, let Pei Lin bring Pei Shuying and show me and Zitong! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! After Li Jiancheng returned to his dormitory:

"Mingyu!"

"The slave is here!"

"Immediately send the Qilin Secret Guard Commander to make Di Renjie come to see me quickly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! After Di Renjie came, Li Jiancheng issued an order and ordered Di Renjie to quickly find out the details of Pei Shuying. At night, the entire Xuanzheng Hall was brightly lit, Li Jiancheng sat on the throne, the queen Zheng Wanzhen sat on the left, and the concubine Yang Yan sat on the right. And Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, and Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, are also opposite to each other. The difference is that Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, sat next to two palace beauties, while Li Chenglu just sat at a table alone. Li Jiancheng raised his wine glass,

"Come on! Come! Come! Dear royal elders! Ladies and gentlemen, all my ministers of Li Tang! This time, I am very happy that my two eldest princes have finally returned to me from the outside today, so I specially set up this banquet to celebrate the reunion of my flesh and blood! Come! Everyone, please raise your glass! For the reunion of my flesh and bones, drink this cup full! Everyone below raised their glasses and congratulated Li Jiancheng. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Everything continued in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but a sudden incident made the atmosphere of the whole banquet a little awkward. Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, picked up the wine glass and came to the front of Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao.

"Brother Huang! Your little brother has already heard about your affairs in Hangzhou! Congratulations to the royal brother on becoming the prince! And also got two beautiful lovers and gave birth to two Lin'er! Li Chenglu said as he sent two long-life locks.

"Brother Huang! This is the little brother's order to build it with all his heart. Please take it! Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao, smiled and took a sip of wine, and motioned to Xiao Hanyan and Chen Zhenzhen beside him to accept the longevity lock.

"Brother Huang! Brother Wei now has two sons! You've got to work hard! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Little brother must work hard! "Zhao King Li Chengdao and Hengshan King Li Chenglu grew up together, and they spoke relatively casually, but these casual words made the people around Hengshan King Li Chenglu uncomfortable.

"His Royal Highness! Actually, our family Cheng Lu'er is about to get married! And it is also the lady of the Pei family in Hedong! Compared with the Lanling Xiao family, it is not bad at all. Moreover, it is still Pei Xiangguo's matchmaker! I've already consulted my sister, the Queen Mother. I believe that in a few days, the emperor's decree on marriage will come down. ”

"Oh! Uncle! Is this true? Yes! That's great! Brother Huang! When the time comes, you must invite the royal brother and me to drink the wedding wine! ”

"Definitely, definitely!" As soon as the surrounding ministers and ladies heard that Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, was going to get married, or Pei Lin was the matchmaker, they immediately gathered around and congratulated Li Cheng, the king of Hengshan, and Pei Lianlu. Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, didn't get the slightest bit of a mouth in advance, and now he was congratulated by a group of people like this, which caught Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, a little off guard, and Pei Lian's face was also a little surprised. And Zheng Tao caused some trouble for Li Jiancheng, who was still the prince at the time, because of the robbery and killing of Wang Shichong. Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, although he has the reputation of a national uncle, his official position is still quite humble, and later, he followed Li Chenglu out for a cruise, and his sister has hinted that his official position has been improved. Zheng Tao was happy in his heart. In addition, now, Zheng Tao feels that the battle for the heir has begun, and he is unwilling to show weakness in front of Li Chengdao. Therefore, he immediately told Pei Lin as a matchmaker and Li Chenglu was going to marry. And with the strength of the wine, one by one there is a big package. Li Jiancheng sat on the dragon throne, watching the ministers and ladies below congratulate Li Chenglu, the king of Hengshan, without any reaction on his face, Zheng Wanzhen immediately signaled to let his father, Zheng Yuanxiu, the national abbot, immediately pull Zheng Tao away. Zheng Yuanxiu came to Zheng Tao's side.

"Tao'er! You don't drink well! Let's go first! Zheng Tao was drinking so hard that he was naturally reluctant to leave. Zheng Yuanxiu really had no choice, so he had to put a little on Zheng Tao's sleeping hole. Zheng Tao immediately fainted. Zheng Yuanxiu asked the two eunuchs to help Zheng Tao up and carry him out of the Xuanzheng Palace.
