The sensational news that Li Linfu told Du Shiyi had not yet been confirmed, and Wei Li specially came to tell him that others were going to sue him for Jiao Lian Taizi's Diao Zhuang, and there was no movement for the time being, even if there was no Wang Han's drunken big mouth, but Zhang Shuo's counterattack against Cui Wei, the Chinese scholar, had established a victory from the beginning.

Because the places east of the Taihang Mountains have suffered a major drought once in decades since entering the chūn, even if the officials pray for rain and so on, it has not worked, and the officials in various prefectures and counties are uneven. Therefore, Zhang Shuo of the Zhongshu ordered Zhang Shuo to write to the Son of Heaven earnestly, on the grounds that Beijing officials have always been valued over foreign officials, and famous ministers are gathered in Gyeonggi, but foreign officials often choose too many people, so as to select capable people to enrich the place by selecting capable people in the examination and selecting the upper and upper middle officials, so as to reassure the people and conform to the will of heaven.

And as if he was afraid that Yuan Qianyao would jump out of the ring and fight with him, he also praised the noble festival of Yuan Qianyao who sent all his sons from Beijing officials to serve as magistrates after Yuan Qianyao worshiped the prime minister, and cited his experience of serving as assassins from Xiangzhou, Yuezhou, Jingzhou to Youzhou and other places.

As the Son of Heaven, Li Longji was originally upset about natural disasters, and he also intended to remove some unpleasant officials from the Beijing officials and put them on the post of foreign officials, and many of what Zhang Shuo said were in line with his wishes, so he agreed with a stroke of the pen. Even when he saw that Zhang Shuo put Cui Wei, the Chinese scholar who was not on good terms with him, and Han Xiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, into the ranks of the assassins, he didn't even blink his eyelids. At least, Zhang said that in the more than a year since he presided over the political affairs hall, he had a tacit understanding with Yuan Qianyao, and the court's employment of people was also fair, and he tolerated the exclusion of one or two dissidents

Therefore, the Zhongshu Province prepared the book according to the holy will, and in addition to Cui Wei and Han Xiu, even the new Huangmen Shilang Wang Qiu and the other two high-ranking officials and ministers were among the assassins, and the whole was in an uproar for a while. That's not all, the book making even made the people who were recommended or self-recommended by the civil and military forces in Beijing enough to be worthy of the county order, and for a while the candidates rushed to tell each other, but no one was willing to go! Even if the position of the county order has a minimum of seven grades, but those remote places except for the miscellaneous officials from other places, no one wants to go, even if Shandong is not remote, but where can they get the first month in these Gyeonggi counties near Chang'an?

In this atmosphere of wait-and-see where the thunder is loud and the raindrops that respond are few. The news, which seemed to be a false alarm, finally arrived in front of the Emperor. Li Longji, who was enjoying the new school of music and dance in the pear garden with great interest, even played a drum in front of him, and beat a song according to the rhythm from time to time, and even pondered whether to call Song Fang into the palace to have fun, when he heard the news of the inner servant kneeling in front of him, his face was suddenly covered with frost. He almost didn't think about it, so he put the drum to his side, and then angrily reprimanded, "Why don't you report it early?"

"The villain originally thought that it was a good thing that His Royal Highness Tai Lu Zi was willing to read...... "The waiter drooped his head, his knees and shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he was really terrified, "Who knew that today, His Royal Highness Tai Lu Zi ordered the villain to ask Du Shizhi to borrow the "Stone" written by Liu Taishi before. After the villain went to Lizheng Academy, he really felt that it was inappropriate, so he came to tell Bixia. ”

In Li Longji's opinion, he is the coolest Xiao Taizong Li Shimin. Although he did not have Li Shimin's exploits in the original conquest of the world, he quelled the rebellion of Empress Wei in the Tanglong coup, and then eradicated Princess Taiping, forcing his abdicated father Ruizong to no longer care about state affairs. Therefore, he, who started through a coup d'état, is also the son of heaven who did not have an advantage in terms of reputation at the beginning, and the most feared thing is to form a party in the East Palace. Therefore, he canonized Li Siqian, and after this prince grew up, his precautions against him were unusually strict, and even he was hesitant to choose a concubine.

"Good, you're all good! The prince acted so recklessly that he didn't even tell me!"

Li Longji took off his hand and threw out the yellow sandalwood staff in his hand, and seeing the hard wooden staff roll out of the distance, he stood up and said angrily: "Go back to Zichen Palace!"

When the waiter first announced, because Li Longji did not speak, everyone in the pear garden did not retreat, although this person's voice was not loud, but in the end, Li Longji's angry roar was heard by everyone. Seeing that the matter involved in the Tai Lu Zi, no one dared to mix indiscriminately, only Aunt Gongsun had practiced martial arts since childhood, and her ear power was different from ordinary people, so she actually listened to it. Knowing that Du Shiyi was involved, she couldn't help but be worried and anxious, but she was in the palace, but it was impossible for her to leave the palace casually, and when she returned to her small mansion in Liyuan, she could only go around in the house. After a long while, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Gongsun everyone, King Ning has asked Bixia for permission, today is the birthday of the eighteenth prince, so I would like to invite you to go to King Ning's house to play a sword dance. King Ning said that he happened to get a new sword and sent it to everyone to watch. ”

Aunt Gongsun was worried that she had no excuse to leave the palace, and her eyes lit up when she heard this. She almost did not hesitate to step forward and open the door, and after seeing a waiter outside with a smile on his face and saluting, he immediately turned sideways and let a palace man behind him come up with a sword, she stepped forward and happily took it in her hand, and after pressing the spring and pulling out the sword, she was going to praise her who was a sword without saying a word, and her eyes lit up. Stretching out her finger on the body of the sword like autumn water, she held two sword flowers in her hand, and then said: "It's really a good sword!" Okay, I'll go. ”

The eighteenth prince Li Qing was born at the age of five. Although he is now considered a virtual age, because of the careful nurturing of King Ning and Princess Yuan, he has changed the situation that his brothers and sisters of the same mother died early, and he has grown strong and lovely. He is the prince, but he grew up next to King Ning, others can't figure out what the situation is, plus the ministers are not allowed to make friends with the kings and horses, this birthday banquet is not luxurious, only King Qi and Princess Yuzhen and other kings and nobles gave birthday gifts, and only Princess Yuzhen who came to the door in person was idle.

Therefore, seeing that Aunt Gongsun really arrived with the sword that King Ning had invited before, Princess Yuzhen couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "Brother Ning really has a good face!"

Li Xian, the king of Ning, is now a genuine idle prince, and while he is cautious in the court, he deliberately indulges in private and even robs the wife of a cake seller among the people, but he is not as drunk as King Qi. At this moment, when he heard Princess Yuzhen praise him for his big face, he secretly smiled bitterly, and immediately asked Aunt Gongsun to dance with a smile.

This time there are few people, but the hall is not as spacious as the Lin De Hall and other big banquet places, Gongsun Auntie is not a common routine, so he can see it easily, when a song ends Gongsun Auntie's salute, he said with a smile: "Gongsun everyone is really extraordinary, today rì is rare to come, so please eat Eighteen Lang's birthday wine and then go." ”

"You don't need to add more seats, just sit with me!"

When Aunt Gongsun saw Princess Yuzhen say this, she was overjoyed in her heart, and after thanking her, she stepped forward happily. After sitting down, I saw that the music started again, but this time it was the Kabuki in King Ning's mansion who came up, and she took the opportunity to whisper to Princess Yuzhen: "Your lord, Bixia is in Liyuan, and there is an inner servant who told Tai Lu Zi to ask Du Jiu Lang for Liu Taishi's "Stone", and said that His Royal Highness Tai Lu Zi had asked Du Jiu Lang several times before, Bixia was very angry, and hurriedly went back to Zichen Palace. ”

Although the eighteenth prince Li Qing is the beloved son of Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui, after being raised in King Ning's mansion, when King Ning Li Xian and Princess Yuan's family enter the palace, they often bring this child with them, and the little guy is indeed very cute, so Princess Yuzhen came to have a fun today, and she also wanted to see this cute little guy, but when she heard what Aunt Gongsun said, she lost any interest in teasing the child. Shocked and angry, she even wanted to get up and leave immediately, but was held down by Aunt Gongsun's hand, and then she realized that this was in King Ning's mansion.

Seeing that the hall was singing and dancing, she gritted her teeth and asked, "When did this happen?"

"About an hour ago."

"Damn, at this time!" Princess Yuzhen took a deep breath, raised her hand and called Huo Qing to come up, told her what Aunt Gongsun had told her as it was, and then ordered, "You go to Xuanyangfang Du Mansion first to see if he can come back." If not, he will still be in the palace Lizheng Academy, then you should go to see your sister first and tell Yuyao. Remember, don't let anyone else know. ”

Huo Qing immediately understood that this was the news that Gongsun Auntie had specially told Princess Yuzhen, and was shocked for a while: "Yes, your lord can rest assured." ”

Although he hoped that Du Shiyi would return home this afternoon, when Huo Qing hurriedly arrived at Du's house in Xuanyangfang, the news he got was that Du Shiyi had not returned at all. As a last resort, she could only immediately rush to Fuxingfang Jinxian Temple, and when she saw Princess Jinxian, it happened that Wang Rong was also on the side, and when she understood the whole story, she saw Princess Jinxian raise her eyebrows, and she was extremely angry.

"It's too much of a deception! The people that Yuan Yuan values have to be eliminated one by one with such indiscriminate means, this is simply ......" Princess Jinxian wanted to scold something, but Zhang Jiazhen had already been degraded to the history of Youzhou's assassination, and the initiator was his own brother-in-law, and Du Shiyi got into trouble this time, the initiator must be Wang Shouyi, but after all, it was still today, she couldn't help but sigh deeply and tiredly, "The huge Chang'an capital is this kind of dumping that is cut and unorganized, it's really annoying!"

Faced with such a sudden and shocking news, Wang Rong only bit his lip lightly. Just two years ago, when Du Shiyi visited Jinxian Temple, she also discussed her future plans, and bluntly mentioned that Tai Luzi often asked herself to learn, and specially told her that if she encounters a change, she must persuade Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian to do the same as before. Therefore, she was not too surprised by the current situation.

But things broke out so suddenly, even if Du Shiyi had expected it, he planned to use one or two, but if things didn't go well...... She wrenched her hands tightly together, trying to calm her mind, before taking a deep breath.

"Stone" is the original Yuzhen Guan Master to Du Shijiu Lang return gift, Du Shijiu Lang once said that after he read it, he also annotated it word by word, hoping to seek redress for Liu Zixuan, so that he could return to Beijing as soon as possible. Now Bixia is furious, but because of this incident, the person who instigated the denunciation, the timing choice can be described as wonderful. Seeing that Princess Jinxian had changed dramatically, Wang Rong paused, and then said word by word, "However, few people know about this book, not to mention that the Lord of Yuzhen Guan did not publicize it when he gave it to Du Jiulang, who told His Royal Highness the Prince of Tai?" Therefore, when things go wrong, please be calm and not impatient. Previously, when he belittled Du Jiulang, but when he took back his fate, neither the Venerable Master nor the Guan Master had ever competed, and if he came forward again this time, it would only backfire!"
