"Your Highness, Your Majesty has announced your entry into the palace."

Li Hong followed the little chamberlain into Li Zhi's bedroom, only to see Li Zhi leaning on the wide bed, squinting slightly, his expression was sluggish, remembering that he was still calling in the haze, Li Hong couldn't help but have a sour nose, and then lifted his robe and knelt down respectfully.

This kneeling, Li Hong knelt not the emperor, but the father who guarded him for three days and three nights.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Hong'er is here, you have just recovered from a serious illness, excuse me!"

Li Zhi opened his eyes, with a little surprise in his expression, although he had already been guaranteed by the imperial doctor, but at this moment, his son was standing in front of Li Zhi intact, and Li Zhi's hanging heart was really put into his stomach.

"Father, when the sons came, they saw that the defenses outside the palace had been strengthened, but was it because of the sons?"

Li Hong asked with a knock on the side.

Li Zhi is not as legendary in later generations, is an incompetent emperor, although the power of the Empress Wu is very large, but the military power of the Tang Dynasty has always been firmly in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, without Li Zhi's warrant, even the Empress Wu can not mobilize the army in such a large area.

When Li Hong came, the guards he saw were extremely casual, and there was no trace of tracking down the assassin at all, so Li Hong could not be suspicious.

"These thieves are lawless! Dare to assassinate the prince in Luoyang Palace! It's really arrogant to the extreme! Cough...... Ahem......"

As soon as he mentioned this, Li Zhi immediately became angry, his originally pale face instantly turned red, and he coughed violently a few times.

"Father's anger!"

Li Hong hurriedly helped Li Zhi, but the mystery in his heart was even greater, Li Zhi's expression did not seem to be fake, but how could the guards outside the hall explain, and, listening to Li Zhi's meaning, he even thought that he was assassinated by an assassin? Li Hong's heart was turbulent, but his expression was not revealed at all, and he said.

"Now that the son is fine, please ask my father to withdraw the troops in Luoyang City, first, the son has been in a coma for a few days, if there is an assassin, he must have fled, and secondly, he is so laborious and mobilized, disturbing the people, and hurting his father's wisdom."

"Alas, so...... That's good! ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, but there was some unwillingness in his tone.

"Wu Liangfu!"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here!"

A chamberlain who looked to be about forty years old dodged and knelt in front of Li Zhi, this person Li Hong knew, called Wu Liangfu, was the most favored chamberlain by Li Zhi's side, and he was the most good at being a man, not only could please Li Zhi, but also had a bit of face in front of the Empress Wu.

"You go and tell the queen to withdraw the forbidden army in Luoyang City, and tell the queen that Hong'er is awake and is now here in me."

Wu Liangfu received the edict and hurried to deliver the edict to Empress Wu.

"Father...... Erchen wanted to return to Chang'an early. ”

Li Hong watched Wu Liangfu leave, hesitated again and again, and still made this request to Li Zhi.

"Huh?"

Sure enough, Li Zhi frowned when he heard this.

"Not allowed! Hong'er, you have just recovered from a serious illness, how can you withstand running along the way when you recuperate here, not to mention that there are still a few months before you return to Chang'an, why be in such a hurry......

Li Zhi simply rejected Li Hong's request, and said a lot of babbling, which made Li Hong a little crying and laughing, although he knew that Li Zhi was caring about himself, but this Chang'an, Li Hong had a reason to go back, took a deep breath, and Li Hong interrupted Li Zhi's words.

"Father, sons, please rebuild the East Palace!"

Li Hong's voice was generous and powerful, obviously with the determination to succeed, after speaking, he got up from Li Zhi's side and knelt down silently, Li Zhi did not let Li Hong get up like when he just entered the hall, but looked at Li Hong with a frown.

In fact, as soon as Li Hong said this, Li Zhi's face became gloomy.

"Hong'er, you told me, why did you suddenly mention this?"

Li Zhi's voice was very calm and unwavering, but Li Hong knew that this was a precursor to Li Zhi's anger, and if he was Li Zhi's favorite son, military power was also an untouchable iron line.

Li Hong did not fail to see this, on the contrary, he saw this precisely because he had to make this request to Li Zhi.

"Erchen is the respect of the prince, but under the heavy protection of the guards, he encountered an assassin and almost died, it can be seen how rampant the assassin is, when the son-in-law is in the East Palace, there are often thefts, so the son-in-law thinks about it, for the safety of the East Palace, the son-in-law asks for the rebuilding of the East Palace!"

Tang system, set up the East Palace Six Guards, responsible for guarding the security of the East Palace, for the prince's direct personal guards, directly controlled by the prince, but Li Hong crossed over to know that he only had a few hundred guards under his hands, and the East Palace Six Rate, which should be the strongest force in his hands, did not have a trace of shadow at all, no wonder Li Hong, as the prince of a country, was killed so easily.

Li Hong desperately scolded Li Hong, the main owner who died early, but a layer of fine and dense cold sweat broke out on his head, and only his face could barely remain calm.

"Is the crown prince blaming me for being too weak in the guards of the East Palace?"

Li Zhi's tone was aggressive, and he didn't call Li Hong "Hong'er" anymore, but directly called "prince", which made Li Hong's heart tense for a while, knowing that he had really touched Li Zhi's bottom line, and his heart sank at the moment!

"The father is angry, the son is not this intention, but now the assassins are so rampant, the East Palace is obviously their target, the son is afraid that his thief will not die, and he will make a comeback, if he hurts the father and the emperor, then the son will die and cannot redeem it, so the son and the son have thought about it again and again, and want to rush back to Chang'an first, rebuild the East Palace six rates, if you dare to assassinate again, the son will be the head of the thief and protect my Tang Dynasty Emperor."

Although the words were said beautifully, Li Hong knew that this was not enough to convince Li Zhi at all, but he really didn't have enough reason to take it in his hands, he couldn't say to Li Zhi, I came through time, your wife will kill the prince after you die, and then ascend the throne as the emperor himself, and I will rebuild the East Palace Six Rates to save my life at that time.

I'm afraid that before he finished speaking, Li Hong himself was locked up as a psychopath, so Li Hong was gambling, betting that his status in Li Zhi's heart could overwhelm those suspicions. "Hahahaha, my son has this filial piety, I am very relieved, Hong'er wants to rebuild the East Palace Six Rates, I will be ......"

Li Zhi looked at Li Hong for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a hurried voice.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Li Hong heard Li Zhi's laughter, just a moment of joy in his heart, knowing that he had won the bet, he heard a man's voice from outside the hall interrupting Li Zhi's words, Li Hong's face instantly became gloomy, turned to look outside the hall, he wanted to see, who had the courage to ruin his good deeds.
