Chapter 394: Princess Taiping returns to Chang'an
"And then?" Fan Changfeng asked again.
Later, the master came to the bazaar again to look for the beggar Liu, and he saw a lot of people around the corner of the bazaar, more than the last time. The master stepped forward and squeezed in to take a look, although the sign on the ground was still beggar Liu, but the person had changed. The master asked the man, 'What about the beggar Liu?' The man replied, "Shopkeeper Liu is in the main store in the capital, this is only a branch, and I was hired by him to look at the store......
"And later?" Fan Changfeng is really a little persevering.
"There is no later, if there is more, it will be Jiulang, you, the Fan family, will continue to write the story again." Speaking of this, Li Tao looked at Wang Hufeng: "Shopkeeper Wang, my story is finished, you go back and ponder it, if you can understand, come to me again." If we don't understand, I'm afraid we won't need to meet! ”
After that, Li Tao got up and left without looking back, leaving only three people who looked at each other.
……
"Tao'er, you're here!" Li Dan, who was full of tiredness, saw Li Tao like a savior.
"Uncle, is something wrong?" Li Tao asked.
"Tao'er, you also know that I am going to enthrone San Lang, right?"
Li Tao nodded.
"For so long, I have been fighting with the mud, but I also have a bottom line, and my bottom line is that Saburo's position as the crown prince cannot be shaken. Once the crown prince is unstable, the Tang Dynasty will fall back into turmoil. The Tang Dynasty has been in turmoil for decades since Zetian, and as an emperor, I don't want it to continue. But now, under the suppression of Taiping, San Lang is already precarious. How can we ensure that Prince Saburo's position is not shaken? If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you can only give him a title that cannot be challenged, and this title is the emperor. ”
Originally. Li Tao and Li Longji set up a strategy to show the enemy weakness, and today it seems that it has already shown results. He couldn't help but admire: "Uncle Weng is so courageous! ”
Li Dan shook his head and said, "Last month, I summoned Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist priest from Tiantai Mountain, to ask him for Taoist skills. Sima Cheng told me that the so-called Tao is to lose and lose. So much so that there is nothing to do. I asked him again, a person can naturally cultivate like this, so what if he governs a country? Sima Chengzhen told me. There is no difference between the state and the individual, as long as you get rid of selfish distractions and go with the flow, the country will be well governed! So. I made up my mind to give way to Saburo. Besides. This is also what you and I have discussed a long time ago. But ......"
"But what?"
"But now it's a problem."
"Got a problem? What's the problem? Li Tao asked.
Li Dan said bitterly: "But most of the courtiers are princesses of Taiping, and they don't agree with me to be located in Saburo, and I am helpless!" ”
Li Tao thought for a while, and said to Li Dan: "This matter is really a bit troublesome, uncle, let's do it, let me go back and think about it first, and wait for me to think about it." Back and forth. ”
"Tao'er, you have to hurry. I really don't want to roast on this fire anymore. ”
"I know, uncle, you wait for my news!"
On the evening of the second day, Li Tao went to see Li Dan again. The two talked for a long time, and it was not until dawn that Li Tao yawned and left the palace, and no one knew what the two of them had talked about.
……
Princess Taiping, who is far away in Puzhou, although she has left Chang'an, has a very comfortable life.
Puzhou Thorn Shi is the confidant of Princess Taiping, take good care of her, and arrange her to live in the best local building Guandi Temple, with a magnificent hall, bright houses, and several large courtyards of ancient cypress and pine to cover the sky. The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, elegant and chic, like a fairy palace, no interference, no hustle and bustle, all day long with Cui Xiang and the accompanying dozen prostitutes to play and play, living a fairy-like life. Sometimes, she even thinks it's good to live like this for the rest of her life.
In the temple of Emperor Guan, there is a temple called Hui Fan, who is not more than thirty years old, handsome, smart, and clever in every way. I heard that the one who lives in the temple is the famous princess Taiping who is famous all over the world, and she often offers courtesy in front of her and takes the opportunity to see the princess's demeanor. Although she is an old woman in her fifties, she seems to him to be a romantic woman who is no more than thirty. From then on, he was so enchanted that he couldn't sleep at night.
Princess Taiping also paid attention to this Hui Fan, and asked him this and that when she had nothing to do. Three times and twos, they have their own intentions, and it has become a good thing for the two of them to take advantage of the dark night of the moon.
Hui Fan used the skills she learned from the side door to deal with women, and carefully served Princess Taiping, making her feel comfortable and happy like never before.
"A blessing in disguise is worth the trip." She often uses these eight words to describe the unforgettable days in Puzhou. A few months later, when Ruizong ordered her to return to Beijing, she was reluctant to leave. Ruizong said that Princess Taiping returned to Beijing, one was to miss the love of brother and sister, and the other was to discuss with her about the prince.
There was an extra monk in the carriage back to the capital, and Princess Taiping's journey became more romantic. After returning to Chang'an, Huifan was arranged in Tianci Temple. Like Xue Huaiyi back then, Hui Fan went to the princess's mansion every once in a while to say hello.
On this day, Abbot Purun called Hui Fan into his meditation room.
A man in black was sitting in the meditation room, and when Hui Fan saw it, he hurriedly knelt down on one leg and said, "Wang Cheng of the Shadow Department has seen the leader. ”
The person sitting in the meditation room was none other than Li Shen. According to Li Tao's request, Li Shen integrated the Shadow and set up the Intermediate Department, the Ministry of Defense, and the Department of Killing. The Intermediate Department is mainly responsible for obtaining information, the Ministry of Health is mainly responsible for internal prevention, and the Killing Department is mainly responsible for eliminating the enemy. Wang Cheng is the shadow secretly arranged by Princess Taiping's side, it stands to reason that Li Shen does not have to come forward to contact Wang Cheng, but he came in person. This shows the importance of this mission.
"Wang Cheng, the next plan can be implemented!" Li Shen commanded.
"Chief, I understand, don't worry!"
……
Princess Taiping returned to Chang'an in just a few days, and there were two assassinations of Princess Taiping one after another: one was on the way to the court, an assassin with a steel knife rushed to Princess Taiping's sedan chair and stabbed it into the sedan chair. The assassin was killed on the spot; Once, in the middle of the night, several darts were fired from the window, all of which were nailed to Princess Taiping's bed, but they were not injured, and the assassin escaped in the night.
Princess Taiping summoned Cui Xiang and Hui Fan to discuss countermeasures.
Princess Taiping introduced the two stabbing experiences, and said hatefully: "This matter must have been sent by Li Longji, if you don't attack him as soon as possible, not only me, but even you will be poisoned by him." ”
Cui Yu was also filled with righteous indignation: "Since he sent an assassin to kill Her Royal Highness the Princess, we can also take the same measures against him!" ”
Hui Fan shook his head: "Li Longji lives in the East Palace, with high walls and deep courtyards, and it is not easy to carry out assassination methods. ”
Cui Xiang retorted: "Then you can take other means, such as poisoning and killing......
"That's not easy, in my opinion, you can make a suggestion to Ruizong to avoid his ......"
"The imperial brother is cowardly by nature and will not belittle him easily." Princess Taiping sighed. (To be continued......)
