Lizheng Palace, outside the hall is flying snowflakes. Snow piled up outside the hall, and this was the second heavy snow in Chang'an City since the beginning of winter. This year's winter was particularly cold, and the north wind blew off more than half of the clouds overnight, all of which turned into snowflakes and sprinkled on the land of Guanzhong.

Li Er stood in front of the window, with a dark color on his body, and everywhere on his shoulders and back, he used gold threads to delicately describe a mysterious pattern, the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, dragons and phoenixes, etc., this is the twelve chapter patterns, only the emperor's crown can be embroidered with a complete twelve chapter patterns.

Moreover, such costumes are not worn at all times, and are only worn on formal occasions such as court meetings and sacrifices. But at this time, Li Er put on this body, and there must be something particularly grand when he thinks about it. Behind Li Er, several old men were standing quietly, either Taoist with white beard, or a great monk with a bright scalp and snow-white eyebrows, and Qin Qiong wearing a military uniform and holding a pair of cooked copper maces. Several people looked at Li Er standing in front of the window quietly at this time, waiting for him to open his mouth to break the silent atmosphere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there is the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country at this time?" Li Er hadn't slept peacefully for several days, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of the jade seal he had missed, and his heart would ache for a while. That thing symbolizes righteousness, as long as he is in charge of things, he can be invincible. There is no need to care too much about the yang and yin of those Shandong families. Because the foundation of those great families is because they occupy the commanding heights of fame and morality, they can go around accusing others of violating the ancestral etiquette and law. Something is wrong.

But as long as Li Er masters the jade seal of the country, then he will be the supreme and righteous monarch of the empire, and he will not be as constrained as he is now. Everything has to be considered how the big families will react. At that time, he can directly do what he wants. For example, the expedition to Goryeo.

It's just that now this glimmer of hope has just appeared and has been nipped in the bud, Li Er is unwilling, he must find out who is behind it, and make these people pay!

"Qin Qing, what I asked you to investigate, do you have eyebrows?" Li Er didn't turn around, and asked the people behind him lightly.

"Enlighten the Holy One. It's been found! During this time, among the major families, the Qinghe Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family did not move, but the Taiyuan Wang family. The Fan Yang Lu clan, as well as the Boling Cui clan, and the Jiangdong Pei clan all have unknown movements. Qin Qiong was dressed in goose feather armor, and the nail leaves were shining with cold light. A pair of cooked brass wedges are held between the hands. At this time, the hands crossed hands and clasped fists in reply.

"Really? Do you know where the people they sent out? Is there a de-Turkic direction? Li Er still said without idleness.

"This. Only the Jiangdong Pei clan dispatched more than 300 private soldiers to the Turkic direction, and the rest were in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Qiong replied.

"Oh! Pei's? Li Er groaned.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, the Pei family can't do such a thing, although they also belong to the first-level family, but their strength is at the end!" Lao Dao interjected. The snow-white beard is neatly combed, and the long hair is tied into a bun on the head. A simple wooden hairpin is inserted, and there are not many wrinkles on the cheeks. Instead, it reveals a baby-like ruddy glow.

"Yuan Qingjia, this is a bad statement! Although the Pei family is not famous, its strength is not worse than that of my Longxi Li family, and the strength of their family in the court during the pre-Sui period was much stronger than that of the rest of the families, and the secrets in the palace must know a lot! Pei Ju must still remember that this person has the talent to cross the heavens and the earth, and the Turks were plotted by him to split. Li Er didn't intend to covet Pei Ju's merits, and said bluntly.

"This ......" the old Taoist is Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but be speechless, he always felt that the most likely was the Taiyuan Wang family, a family that had been prominent since the Jin Dynasty, and was much more ambitious than the rest of the ups and downs of the family.

"Your Majesty, Lao Wei is an outsider, and he should not interfere in the world, but this time it is about the Tang Dynasty, so Lao Gao will say a word! No matter who did this, they must have hidden it at this time, or deliberately made a big fanfare to divert Majesty's attention! Don't let go of all these suspicious ones! The old monk was kind-hearted, but his words were ruthless.

"That's natural, it's just that I have to trouble the master to go to Shaolin and ask them to send thirteen stick monks, maybe there will be a big wave this time!" The thirteen stick monks once helped Li Er at the beginning, and have always retained a friendly relationship, although Li Er has been suppressing the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in recent years, and the distribution of degrees is less than a year, but Shaolin Li Er still did not move. I have always remembered the feelings of the year, this time I am afraid that there will be a vicious battle, Li Er naturally wants them to contribute, which is also to show the Buddhists that he does not want to completely destroy the Buddha, but does not want the two Buddhism and Taoism to sit all the time.

"The old man is provincial!" The old monk folded his hands and made a joke.

"Then, the master and Yuan Qing's family should step aside, Qin Qing will stay, I have something to order!" Li Er said.

"Wait for the resignation!" Lao Dao and the great monk withdrew, the two of them really came to this political hall, this time is the second time since Li Er ascended the throne, the first time was at Li Er's enthronement ceremony.

"Majesty!" After the two of them walked away, Qin Qiong stepped forward and bowed down to stand behind Li Er.

"Qin Qing, can you resent me?" Li Er asked Qin Qiong again, the last time Qin Qiong stood silently and speechless, this time Li Er asked again, Qin Qiong couldn't help but be silent again! Li Er turned around and looked at Qin Qiong's eyes, his eyes were full of sincerity, this was a rare expression of true feelings in front of his courtiers after Li Er ascended the throne.

"Wechen doesn't complain! The original qiē was all voluntary by Weichen! If you can't help anyone, how dare you be resentful! Qin Qiong replied with his head down.

"Do you know why I didn't give you a great reward, didn't give you the highest title?" Li Er continued, only this time it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Because of my father, my father has always been concerned about the affairs of Xuanwu Gate, and it can't be eliminated in a while! I don't want my father to resent you, my father's body is already weak because of the events of that year, but I don't want to be temperate, I think time is running out, in the last period of his life, I don't want any more resentment between him and you! Li Er raised his head and looked at the dark sky, snowflakes flying, in the faint light of the lantern, like an elf haunting uncertainly. Swaying in the air, their little bodies happily threw themselves into the arms of Mother Earth.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, the Emperor Taishang really can't be stimulated! You must know that the secret guard is the greatest effort in his life, and now he is loyal to His Majesty. The Emperor Taishang always thought it was his order, but he didn't know that in fact, they had already been taken care of by His Majesty over the years, and they belonged to His Majesty completely. And Weichen is the comfort of the Emperor Taishang, indicating that the secret guard is still not fully mastered by His Majesty, and the feeling of betrayal is really uncomfortable! "Qin Qiong is also a person with a delicate heart, and Li Er's thoughts he has figured out a lot over the years, and he has already guessed some of them at this time.

"Yes, it's good that Qin Qing knows! When my father is old, he loves to guard the last pride in his heart, and you are the biggest thing he feels he has done, and he has been by my side for more than ten years, and it has not been exposed. This is his last proud position, and I can't bear to destroy it! Li Er strode out as he spoke, leaving Qin Qiong alone in the Lizheng Palace.

The snow in Chang'an is getting heavier and heavier, the snow on the ground is piling up high, the snow is flooding the streets, and residents are hiding at home, reluctant to go out.

At this time, eighty miles outside Chang'an City, a sleigh was driving, and a big dog pulled a small sleigh and ran easily on the snow. A brass bell is tied around the dog's neck, and the copper bell is sprinkled all the way.

On the sleigh, Li Kuan was lying on the thick fur, with Li Lizhen's small and delicate body in his arms, and his pretty face was on Li Kuan's shoulder, with a sweet smile: "Second brother, will you keep holding Liqin like this?" ”

"Little girl, Lizhi is going to get married, and there will be someone else in the future who will replace the second brother and hold Lizhi for a lifetime!" Li Kuan stretched out his hand and scratched her upturned nose, his fingers gently slicing over her creamy cheeks.

"Don't want beauty!" Li Lizhi pursed her lips, as if she remembered something, and a faint sadness flashed in her autumn-like eyes.

"Don't want anything?" Li Kuan asked puzzledly, this time Li Lizhen's little girl seems to have changed a lot in the past few months, and from time to time she will reveal some complicated expressions, these small details, Li Kuan sees them in his eyes, he wants to ask, but he also knows that Li Lizhen seems to be unwilling to sue him. So Li Kuan didn't ask for the time being, and when he returned to the palace, someone would naturally sue him, whether it was Yuzhang or Tianxiang.

"Second brother, sing the song you sang ten years ago when you coaxed Lizhi to sleep!" Li Lizhi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered, and there was a faint smile on her white cheeks, but her brows frowned slightly, which made Li Kuan feel pity in her heart.

"This girl!" Listening to the subtle breathing sound in his ears, Li Kuan stopped speaking and hummed the strange and familiar ballad: "The stars in the sky are asleep......"

The snow fell quietly, and the rustling sound of falling on the ground was like spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves. On this quiet snowy night, the sleigh stopped at a small post thirty miles away from Chang'an, and more than a dozen tall horses, each pulling a dozen sleighs, loaded with countless bags, which contained the most snow-white fur on the grassland.

Beside the horses were snow-white lambs and a few small foals. The lambs and foals, who can adapt to the severe cold of the grassland, do not show the slightest sickness in the cold winter of this pass, but are very energetic.

Chang'an City was already in sight, Li Kuan gently tightened the girl in his arms, he didn't know what would greet him, looked at the sister who was sleeping soundly with a slight pout, and then touched the package behind him. Li Kuan hugged Li Li and struggled to stand up, and then found the cleanest room in the post station, and put the little girl on the bed.

"Is it true that history cannot be forcibly changed?" Li Kuan had a feeling. (To be continued......)
