Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, a charcoal fire was lit in Yanying Palace, and the chief eunuch Li Haogu kept nagging: "Ouch, it's cold, why is it so cold this day, the cold bones hurt." "Lafayette said cold, that is, cold, the eunuchs who served on the left and right all shouted cold, although carrying charcoal fire made it hot, no one dared to say the word hot.

The little eunuchs who were young and didn't do anything more discussed privately, "Obediently, what's the matter with the old fairy, it's only ten days, even if it's cold, how cold can it be, as for making a pot fire." ”

This said: "Can the old man compare with the young man, these days, the saint works until late at night, and his old man has to accompany him all the time, and even an iron-clad King Kong can't stand it." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and when they were discussing, Wu Houyun, the chief eunuch on duty, passed by, and said: "Scattered, scattered, don't you see that there have been many things in the palace recently, there are wars on all sides, Sheng Tianzi is eating clothes and food, you little rabbits, but you little rabbits are around here chewing your tongue and heels, and your conscience has let the dogs eat, scattered, scattered, and go to your own business." ”

Everyone dispersed, Wu Houyun frowned, thought for a while, and turned to Li Haogu's duty room, Li Haogu just waited for Li Yan to go to Yongle Palace, and Concubine Shuniang waited for refreshments, so he had to go back to the room to eat some tea and take a nap.

When Wu Houyun entered the door, Wu Chengyuan, the little eunuch with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, was kneeling there to help Li Haogu pinch his feet, Li Haogu was holding a hookah with one hand, and one hand was on Wu Chengyuan's bee waist.

Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak again, he sent Wu Chengyuan out and said, "What did you hear?" ”

Wu Houyun said: "Old immortal, there are more and more discussions in the palace, and if this goes on for a long time, the slaves and maids are only afraid of ......."

Li Haogu drooped his eyelids and asked in a humming voice, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Wu Houyun sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately got up, controlled his back and said, "I'm afraid of being used by someone with a heart." ”

When Li Haogu heard this, he snorted, handed the hookah to Wu Houyun, borrowed one of his hands to sit up, and said, "Then what's the way, let them chew their tongues." ”

After that, he stood up, looked out of the room with Wu Houyun's support, walked two steps and stopped, and told Wu Houyun: "You are the old man in the palace, you can't do it yourself." ”

Wu Houyun knelt on the ground and mourned: "Old immortal, you love your son, but your son doesn't understand." ”

Li Haogu slanted at him and snorted: "I don't understand, go back and ponder by yourself, ponder and understand the longevity of a hundred years old, ponder and don't understand,......"

When Li Haogu arrived at Changle Palace, Li Yan was taking a nap, he asked the little eunuch in detail about the lunch, and the little eunuch took the trouble to report to him what Li Yan ate, what he drank, what he said, and even coughed a few times and laughed a few times One by one, Li Haogu was very satisfied with it, praised the little eunuch, and sent it away, but thought in his heart: "Today's diet is less than yesterday." ”

He came to the dormitory, glanced at Li Yan who was lying on the embroidery floor, listened to the sound of his breathing, smacked it in his heart, and frowned again.

The concubine who was serving beside the embroidery collapsed tiptoed out, took out the posture of being the master and asked sharply: "Why is Your Majesty so tired, why is the diet so at least, how are you the chief eunuch be." ”

Li Haogu glanced at the immature Wang Shufei, and said casually: "Recently, because of the Huainan cutting of the domain, Your Majesty has spent a lot of energy on clothes and food, and I can't help but be a little tired, because anxiety will inevitably reduce my diet. ”

Concubine Shu was speechless for a long time by these words, and gave Li Haogu a glare with a willow eyebrow, and then turned around reluctantly, Li Haogu bowed her waist and controlled her back to send her away, straightened her waist, and snorted silently.

He dared to perfunctory the young young and wise princess Wang Shufei, but did not dare to perfunctory Empress Dowager Guo, when the Empress Dowager Guo summoned him to inquire, he had to report 1510, Empress Dowager Guo was worried when she heard this, and said angrily: "The gang in the hospital has no rut at all, the mourning family is getting older, and often feels that the energy is not good, Li Haogu, you have been driving for many years, you should share the worries for the mourning family." ”

Li Haogu bowed down in fear, and said that the slave should die, Empress Dowager Guo ordered someone to help him up, soothe him, and gave him a pair of blessing words, Li Haogu went out of Xingqing Palace and rode back to Daming Palace, but he thought in his heart: "Your Majesty's illness, the sin is in the red pill, the old way is not dead, and the sky is weak, but he hates his holy family, who dares to provoke him." ”

Thinking of this, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which read: Ten catties of plum clothes, ten catties of peach hair, ten catties of raw chicken film, ten catties of turtle hair, ten catties of rabbit horns, this list was presented to the emperor by Zhao Guizhen, saying that the above lists are all medicinal materials for refining elixir, Li Haogu laughed in his heart, if these things can be made up by himself, there is no need to refine any elixir, and he will become an immortal immediately.

He wrapped up the piece of paper with a little annoyance, and wanted to throw it out of the car, but he held back his thoughts, thinking to himself: Lao Zamao, if our family doesn't dare to touch you, no one will dare to touch you, if you really have the ability, you can protect Your Majesty for a long life.

As soon as the carriage arrived at Xingningfang, it suddenly stopped, and Li Haogu didn't even open his eyes, so he asked, "Why did you stop?" The little eunuch who was driving the car replied, "There is a prince's book in front." Li Haogu pulled the curtain and looked out, it was by no means a simple matter for the prince to appear on the street so late, and it turned out that he expected it to be good, because the prince he saw was the palace of the prince who had disappeared for a long time.

"King Guang has returned to Beijing, this ......" Li Haogu pinched his teeth, pushed the little eunuch and said, "Let's go, take a detour, and go back to the palace quickly." ”

The news of King Guang's return to Beijing spread throughout the capital the next day, just when people were speculating about what this meant, and a shocking news came, King Guang, who had just returned to Beijing, entered the palace and heard the government, and the prince asked about politics, and his status was equivalent to that of the prison country, and the heirs of the Holy Son of Heaven were all young, and this prison country was not the crown prince.

Since ancient times, the emperor's father died and the son inherited, the brother died and the brother died, the uncle died and the nephew succeeded, and even the ancestors died violently, and there were also elder uncles and uncles who were in charge of the country, but the emperor did not die, that is, the uncle was established as the prince.

Another dissolution of this news was also immediately deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it seemed that time was running out, otherwise even if there were no children now, maybe in the future, why rush to crown his uncle as the crown prince.

Xiaomin has the wisdom of Xiaomin, it is not inaccurate to see things, but it is also slightly biased, Li Yan is indeed running out of time, but it is not as speculated that he is dying, on the contrary, he is in good spirits now, he is planning a big thing with his Yang Qing, a big thing in the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the emperor's spirit came up, Li Haogu felt a little unbearable, summoned courtiers, received foreign envoys, reviewed the chapters, appeased the six palaces, played polo, dragon boat racing, daisies, hunting, night banquets, and changed ways to play.

No, he is an old man, on a whim, and the next goal is to hold a polo match in front of the Hanguang Palace in the western suburbs, he personally serves as the main general of the Flying Dragons, and the deputy generals are all relatives and nobles in the court, either the prince of the country or the king of the county, and he is the opponent of the Changsheng team, the main will be Yang Hao, the king of Xining County, and the following is either a squire or a general, and the relatives of the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone in Chang'an City is talking about this upcoming dragon fight, and there has not been such a grand ceremony in Daming Palace for many years.

When Li Haogu was busy with the polo match, Yang Hao was also busy, the polo match in Hanguang Hall was just a pretense, and the faceless meeting of the five societies of the Thorn Horse Camp was the real purpose.

The arrangement of the first faceless meeting in Sinai was also carefully considered, although the Thorn Horse Battalion is now alone in the world and no longer has natural enemies, but the habits that have been cultivated over the years are still not easy to change all at once.

When discussing where to arrange the first faceless meeting, the five chief managers insisted on their own words, Changqing Society suggested hunting grounds outside the city, Yuanshe advocated a mansion somewhere in the city, Yamato Society even advocated going to Luoyang, and Yang Hao preferred to go to the Windward Pavilion in the center of Qujiang Lake Lake.

The five families insisted on their own words, arguing endlessly, and finally the highly respected eldest princess of Ding'an made a final decision: simply set up in the palace, the three major palaces, the east inner Daming Palace, the west inner Taiji Palace, and the southern inner Xingqing Palace, you can choose, and the old lady has no questions.

The Yamato Society was the first to object, saying that the three major ones are now in the hands of the Baoli Society, in case the Baoli Society is strong.

The eldest princess was annoyed, slapped the table, and shouted: "The emperor and General Manager Yang are here, what are you afraid of." She glared at Yang Hao again, and shouted in a rough voice: "The old lady will bring a knife when the time comes, if you dare to use force, the old lady will stab you first." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said, "I'll sit next to you and be your hostage when I turn around." ”

Having said that, the Yamato Society still made a request, when the time comes, each family will bring a blade, the guards will be responsible for their own duties, and do not ban the army, Yang Hao agreed, and said that the Baoli Society would never bring a blade to the entrance, in order to show sincerity.

In the autumn and August of the fifth year of Huichang, the polo match of the West Forbidden Garden was held as scheduled, there was a way that the drunkard's intention was not in the wine, and everyone's mind was not in the polo field, so the ball was not good-looking, as usual it was also a big victory of the Flying Dragon Team, the dragon face was happy, the reward was quite rich, the sons and wives were lively for a day, received the reward, and left reluctantly one by one, leaving the adult men to go to the banquet at night, only a few women, such as the bold eldest princess of Ding'an, the respected Princess Lu stayed to drink the banquet.

It is said that when the night banquet began, the Empress Dowager and her biological mother, the Empress Dowager, also came.

The night banquet was set up on the polo field in front of the Hanguang Palace, and the emperor and the prince, the prince of the county, the princess, the princess and the queen mother of the two palaces who arrived later sat on the platform of the Hanguang Palace, and the others sat on the ground regardless of height or level.

During the banquet, singing and dancing, the music was loud, and the lively scene with bright lights could be seen several miles away, and no one would have thought that such a peaceful banquet would have an accident later, so that dozens of princes and important ministers beat each other, until the death of a prince, three marquis and six ministers, more than 30 people were seriously injured, and 10 people were slightly injured, so that the Son of Heaven Long Yan was furious, and smashed the cup and reprimanded: "Do you still recognize this Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven?" ”

According to insiders, the banquet until late at night, the accident that happened, the bold Ding'an eldest princess had a quarrel with the king of Xining because of the toast, and then pulled out a knife and stabbed the left arm of the county king, the county king got up to dodge, the eldest princess chased after her, so it caused chaos, those who had an old desire to persuade the county king, but was killed by the princess, it is said that the princess also wanted to kill Yu Chenwan, the horse captain, and Yu Chenwan ran fast to survive.

Later, the queen mother reconciled with the princess and the princess, and asked the princess to apologize, but the princess refused, brushed his sleeves away, and those who were good with the princess stopped him, and those who were good with the princess came over to help, and finally caused a tragedy of ten deaths and one hundred injuries.

The Son of Heaven left the table angrily, and ordered the forbidden army to detain all the princes and nobles who were fighting like black-eyed chickens in the palace, and locked them up for three days and three nights in one breath, and only after their grievances were vented and confessed were they allowed to leave the palace, and the initiators of the eldest princess Ding'an and the king of Xining County were detained for half a month before they were released back to the palace.

After the eldest princess of Ding'an returned home, she asked her family to go to the coffin to lay a pair of the best longevity materials, lying in it, saying that she was already a living dead, lying down and waiting for death to be the best, she took the lead, the business of the coffin shop in Chang'an City suddenly became popular, those dignitaries and nobles rushed to order longevity materials, looked at the goods on the spot, paid the deposit, and let the coffin shop beat the gongs and drums to be attached, and the trouble was like marrying.

Although there are many strange things in the capital, but such strange things have never been seen for eternity, and some people deduce from this that there is a countercurrent in Chang'an City, which is a sign that something big is going to happen.

Sure enough, half a month later, the Qiu Shiliang conspiracy against the major case broke out, and the former general of the left guard and the provincial supervisor of the inner chamber, who had been in the ground for a year, were opened in coffins and whipped corpses, and all rewards were deprived.

It was only then that people suddenly realized and exclaimed: "What is called death, this is called death." ”

As soon as the coffin drama ended, the wedding of the king of Xining kicked off lively, and the glory and decline of each grass and tree can be seen, and the king of light, who returned to Beijing not long ago, has assisted the Son of Heaven in managing the government, and the good deeds deduce that the sky in Chang'an City may be changing again.

The bell of New Year's Day rang in Daming Palace, and Chang'an City welcomed the new year.
