Yuxu Palace, Taiqing Palace, Li Xiaogong's residence, magnificent, elegant and quiet.

In the middle of the Taiqing Palace, there is a valuable pear blossom wood bookcase, the left side of the bookcase is a variety of celebrity texts, and dozens of treasure inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, the pen inserted in the sea of pens is like a forest, staggered and orderly. To the right of the bookcase is a beautiful white porcelain Ru kiln vase, with a bunch of verdant bamboos inserted in the vase. The leaves of Wenzhu are green, and the branches and leaves are spread out just like pieces of cloud pine, which has a unique charm and is elegant and beautiful.

At the bottom of the bookcase, there are six yellow rosewood chairs placed in a neat and orderly manner, the chairs are heavy, but the patterns on the back of the chairs seem to be very lively, revealing warmth in solemnity.

Two large golden beast incense burners are placed on the left and right of the bookcase, and the green smoke curls up, and the dark incense hits people.

The whole hall is elegant and comfortable, fresh and unconventional.

After the bookcase, Li Xiaogong sat on the Huanghuali high-backed chair, solemnly picked up a freshly written fold from the bookcase, handed it to the deputy general Li Feihu and said: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, change horses and not people, and present this fold to Your Majesty in person." ”

"Yes." Li Feihu promised loudly.

After Li Feihu left, Li Xiaogong said to himself: "Your Majesty must be very happy if you know that Li Xuan is still alive." ”

Ten days later, Li Feihu entered Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Chang'an, Qianyuan Palace. Majestic and magnificent.

The most conspicuous place in the main hall has a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, the square platform is placed on the gold lacquer carved dragon throne, the chief eunuch Wang De stands behind the throne with bated breath, a finely carved mahogany carved dragon screen surrounds the back of the gold lacquer carved dragon throne, harmonious and quiet. Six tall golden pillars of the dragon are arranged on both sides of the square platform, and each golden pillar is coiled with a vigorous golden dragon, solemn and majestic. In the center of the hall roof, there are nine huge finely carved dragons, each of which spews out a silver-white dragon ball, and the nine dragon balls reflect each other and shine brightly. The surrounding walls are gorgeous, dazzling, and the red and yellow golden dragon patterns contrast with each other and are colorful.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the throne of Jinluan, his face sad.

Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Forty-seven or eight years old, tall and burly, with a noble temperament. White face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, bold personality, majestic and generous. However, the full head of silver hair, which does not match his age, shows his inner anguish and deep worry.

Li Yuan put aside the fold in his hand and sighed: "Hey, I can't finish worrying." As soon as the country subsided the war, Jiancheng and the people of the world fell out for the position of a prince, and the relationship was like fire and water. Today you will join me, tomorrow I will join you, and there will be no peace every day. They are all my sons, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat. I worked hard all day with the mud, balancing, and trying my best, but the two of them still got stiffer and stiffer. That's not the way to go, is it? If Hyogi were still alive, it would be great if he could get an idea for me, and I wouldn't have to work as hard as I do now. Ay. ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of speech outside the hall, which disrupted Li Yuan's thinking. Li Yuan shouted and asked, "Who is making noise outside?" ”

Wang De, the chief eunuch, walked out of the Qianyuan Hall quickly, and after a while, he reported back to Li Yuan: "Li Xiaogong, the chief administrator of Jingzhou, asked his lieutenant Li Feihu to send an urgent letter of eight hundred miles, which needs to be presented to His Majesty in person. Now Li Feihu is waiting outside the palace, please show your majesty. ”

"Filial piety's eight-hundred-mile expedited play? Could it be that what is happening in the south? Rebellion or rebellion? After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan said to Wang De: "Xuan." ”

Li Feihu entered the main hall, bowed to Li Yuan three times and bowed nine times, and handed over Li Xiaogong's recital to Wang De. After Wang De received the recital, he forwarded it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan opened the fold and looked at it, he was overjoyed, and said with a rare smile and excitement: "Okay, great." Hyo-gong actually found Li Xuan. The continuation of the bloodline of Xiaoji is really blessed by God, and the ancestors have appeared. ”

Immediately, Li Yuan issued an order: "The edict orders the king of Zhao Jun to select elite soldiers and fierce generals to escort Li Xuan into Beijing as soon as possible." ”

After the official drafted the decree and the seal official sealed, Li Yuan asked Wang De to hand over the prepared decree to Li Feihu. Li Yuan slowly walked down the vermilion paint platform, walked in front of Li Feihu, and said to Li Feihu with a pleasant face: "It's hard for Li Aiqing to run hard, hand over the holy decree to King Zhaojun, and tell him that I want to see Li Xuan very much." ”

"Yes." After Li Feihu was flattered and saluted Li Yuan, he respectfully left the Qianyuan Palace.

Not long after Li Feihu left, Li Yuan suddenly slapped his palms twice at the empty Qianyuan Palace.

A big man walked out from behind the golden pillar, the big man was dark-skinned, shrewd and capable, and his breath was long, kneeling on the ground and saluting Li Yuan: "Nighthawk Broken Blade to meet Your Majesty." ”

Li Yuan ordered: "Go to Wudang Mountain, cooperate with the King of Zhaojun, and secretly escort Li Xuan, the head of the Yuxu Palace, into Beijing." ”

"Yes."

Immediately after, Broken Blade turned and disappeared as if he had never appeared.

Li Yuan looked at the broken blade that disappeared in a blink of an eye, smiled, and said with anticipation: "I really hope to see Li Xuan sooner." I don't know if Li Xuan is like Xiaoji, the same resourcefulness, the same exhaustive strategy. Actually, whether he is as smart as his father or not, I will treat him like a parent, after all, he is Hyogi's only blood in the world, and I will never allow anyone to hurt him. ”

After leaving the Qianyuan Palace, Li Feihu, who was full of excitement, rushed to Wudang Mountain without stopping.

Ten days later, Li Xiaogong, who was in Wudang Mountain, received Li Yuan's holy decree. Li Xiaogong summoned Li Xuan to discuss the matter of entering Beijing to face the saint.

The two finally discussed and decided that Li Xuan would take Zhao Meng to Chang'an, and Li Xiaogong would send Pei Xingjian, the captain of Zhichong, to lead three hundred elite cavalry to escort him.

Yuxu Palace, Taiqing Palace. Smoky and freshly scented.

Li Daozong asked Li Xiaogong with a little coquettishness: "Uncle, I want to go to Chang'an with Li Xuan." ”

Li Xiaogong mercilessly refused: "No." ”

"Why?" Li Daozong asked.

Li Xiaogong replied: "Daozong, you are familiar with the art of war, and you are skilled in soldiers and horses, which is the hope of the younger generation of my Longyou Li family. And you have always been close to the King of Qin, and now that the crown prince and the King of Qin are fighting, I don't want you to get involved, and your father doesn't want you to get involved. If you are a soldier, don't ask about politics. If you take a wrong step in politics, you won't be able to turn it around for the rest of your life. Neither your father nor I can allow you to be such a good seedling, ruined because of politics. You honestly stay in Wudang Mountain and guard the Yuxu Palace for Li Xuan. ”

Li Daozong retorted: "I promise not to participate in the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin, is it okay?" ”

Li Xiaogong criticized harshly: "When you arrive in Chang'an, can you still be helped?" Now Your Majesty, you are still being tossed by the crown prince and the king of Qin, do you think you can be alone? ”

Li Daozong left disappointed.
