—— Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace are known as the three major interiors.

At the time of Zhenguan, Taiji Palace was the only imperial palace in Datang, and it was the highest power center of Datang. After Li Zhi became the emperor, the Daming Palace was built, and the power center of the Tang Dynasty was transferred to the Daming Palace, and the Taiji Palace was deserted. After Li Longji became emperor, he expanded the royal residence where he used to live and named it Xingqing Palace. Although the officials at all levels of the Tang Dynasty are still distributed in Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, the center of power has shifted to Xingqing Palace, and Daming Palace has slowly deserted, not to mention Taiji Palace.

However, during this time, the Taiji Palace, which had been deserted for many years, became very lively.

Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace were built successively, but the East Palace where the prince lived remained in Taiji Palace. Emperor Li Longji took the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan to the Huaqing Palace to soak in the hot springs, and ordered the newly established crown prince Li Jue to supervise the country, and the East Palace, located in the Taiji Palace, became the place where the crown prince Li Jue of the prison country discussed court affairs with the ministers. There are many ministers coming and going, and the Taiji Palace, which has been deserted for a long time, is of course lively.

Li Jue, who lives in the East Palace, is very excited these days. It was only a few days after becoming the crown prince, and his father, Li Longji, made him the supervisor of the country, and he was not even a bystander before, and he began to really contact the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Listening to the ministers of all sizes reporting to him about the affairs of the court, and flipping through the thick stacks of books, the excitement in Li Jue's heart was indescribable, and he even had a feeling of dominating the world. The feeling of power in his hands is really good, turning his hands into clouds, covering his hands into rain, and the fate of the world is in his hands, Li Jue finds that he is no longer willing to give up.

It's just that he doesn't have any experience in dealing with court affairs, but there are many ministers in the court who have experience in this area, and Li Jue also put down his face and carefully asked them for advice, but he never easily expressed his thoughts.

He is not dull, and can be described as extremely intelligent in his mind. Those who were born into the royal family have a lot of experience, and they know many ways of dealing with the world, and gathering the opinions of all people as their own opinions is the best way to hide their weakness of not being able to make decisions immediately. The ministers of the DPRK and China will express their views on all court affairs, and Li Jue will take the views expressed by most people or important people as his own opinions, and the results received are quite good. Now, he can't make a final decision on important court matters, even if he is the superintendent of the country, and finally has to inform the emperor Li Longji in the form of a report, but those things that are less weighty, he can make a final decision immediately after consulting with the ministers, or promulgate and implement them. In the past few days, Li Jue's performance has been remarkable, and he has been looked at differently by many ministers.

In the end, Li Longji decided to make a decision, because Li Ying attached that he had adopted the mainstream views or the views of important figures such as Guo Ziyi, Wei Jiansu and others, and he was quite aware of the overall situation and was appreciated by Li Longji.

Li Ying felt the correctness of his approach from the reaction of the ministers, and also reaped the surprise from Li Longji's reaction. Three days before Li Longji left Chang'an, he asked him to act as a supervisor of the country, and now he has been in charge of state affairs for six days, these six days, Li Ying feels that it is the hardest in his life, but also the most fulfilling and fulfilling, the six days of the army's counterinsurgency have achieved a great victory, and there is a sense of accomplishment. Li Jue knew that although he became a marshal of soldiers and horses during the counterinsurgency, all the credit was made by others, and he didn't even make a decision, even if others put the credit on him, he was ashamed of it. But now it's different, all the decisions are his final decision, and his gains are real. His heart was full of excitement, and he felt that his whole person was full of energy.

He had the urge to let go and do something good.

It was dark, and it was finally empty, and Li Jue, who threw down the notebook in his hand, prepared for dinner. After another busy day, he was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back. When he had nothing to do all day before, he had never felt so hungry, and these days, it seemed like this every day, which made him feel abnormal. As you know, mental work consumes more energy than physical work, because he uses his brain too much, so he is hungry fast.

Li Ying was still thinking about things while eating, and at this time he completely entered the role of the prince, thinking about the problem from the perspective of the prince and even the king of the country. Yang Xi's important surname had slowly declined, and Li Jue had almost forgotten that he had asked Yang Xi for help before he set off for Huaqing Palace. Now he feels that the ministers' assistance to him is a matter of course, and no one is specifically helping him, it doesn't matter if Yang Xi is not around, he can do good things without anyone's help. He was full of ambition and expected more.

Just when Li Jue was thinking about things while eating, a eunuch came to report, saying that Li Zhuo, the king of Pengcheng County, asked to see him.

Li Ju is Li Jue's eldest son, and he is also the only son who can discuss things with Li Jue, and most of Li Jue's decisions in the past year have been made after discussing with Li Ju. Li Jue had already told Li Ju that Yang Xi was his illegitimate son and Li Ju's half-brother, and asking for Yang Xi's help was the decision made by Li Jue and Li Ju after discussion.

"The child has seen his father!" After Li Zhuo entered the hall, he respectfully saluted Li Jue, "Father and King are working too hard these days, and they don't care about three meals a day, and the child is very worried. Please also pay attention to your body, rest reasonably, and don't exhaust your body!"

Li Zhuo's worry made Li Jue's heart warm, he knew that Li Zhuo would not just greet him when he came in, there must be something else to report, so he immediately retreated.

"Ju'er, my father doesn't dare to act carelessly." After everyone around him was drunk, Li Jue stopped eating, and said to Li Zhuo with emotion: "It has only been a few days since my father was made the crown prince, and Your Majesty has ordered my father to supervise the country. ”

"Father, you have done a good job in the past few days, which makes the child very surprised, I really can't imagine that the father, who has never dealt with court affairs, has such ability," Li Zhuo said, lowered his voice and said: "Father, the child has heard many people say, saying that their father's handling during this time made them quite surprised, and they were very surprised, with the decisiveness and resoluteness of His Majesty when he first ascended the throne, they all said that if His Majesty has been letting his father handle things, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Zhuo's words are half-true and half-false, and the ministers have discussed it, but the last two sentences are purely added by himself, if any minister dares to say this, he thinks he has lived too long.

But Li Jue didn't feel anything wrong with Li Zhuo's words at all, and he accepted his son's compliment with a smile. However, I also thought of Yang Xi inexplicably, and felt that talking to Li Zhuo felt much better than discussing things with Yang Xi, and it was much easier to enjoy it. Just kidding, when facing Yang Xi, Li Jue didn't have the slightest feeling of Lao Tzu being high in front of his son, he was very nervous, and he was afraid that Yang Xi would turn his face like him, but in front of Li Xi, he was too superior in status, and he could show his father's majesty at any time.

"Ju'er, you also have to inquire more about the news, and see how the ministers evaluate their performance when they were in charge of the country!" After Li Jue laughed twice, he suppressed his laughter again, lowered his voice and said, "Ju'er, how did you do what you asked you to do?" ”

"Father, the child has already found a way to accept the forbidden generals in the palace, although they don't have any special reaction now, they don't refuse the child's gift, I believe that as long as you spend a little more energy, it will be no problem!" Li Zhuo's voice was also very soft.

"Then you continue to work hard, you must win over more, and my father will also find more ways to place more people we can trust in the forbidden army!"

"Yes, father, the child understands!"

Whether the power of the forbidden army can be mastered is the key to whether Li Jue can finally sit on the throne, which is summarized from the end of Li Heng, who did not master the forbidden army, who was finally defeated and captured, and finally exiled, which is also the most important reason why Li Jue immediately attacked the idea of the forbidden army after being established as the crown prince, and these things Li Jue was handed over to Li Ju to do, starting from the trial of the surname contact, if he found which people had the opportunity to win over, Li Jue personally came forward. The result of the discussion between the father and son was that they must master their own strength in this regard and be strictly wary of Yang Xi.

If there is an opportunity, Yang Xi's forces will be purged from the forbidden army.

What Li Jue and Li Zhuo, who were discussing things softly, didn't notice was that a person who looked like a palace maid was sticking to the curtain when they were discussing secretly, and was eavesdropping on their words with her ears pricked up, until Li Zhuo got up and left, she moved away lightly, and turned out of the half-open window, without making any sound-

It was dark in Chang'an City, and the Huaqing Palace, which was sixty or seventy miles away from Chang'an City, was already night.

Li Longji is old, two days of travel tired, rested for a day and a night has not fully recovered, the second night after arriving at Huaqing Palace, after soaking in the hot springs, he couldn't help but feel sleepy, and went to bed early.

Soaking in the hot spring is very comfortable, which can speed up the blood circulation of the whole body, but after the blood circulation is accelerated, people are also easy to get sleepy, not to mention that the body has not recovered Li Longji, after soaking in the hot spring, he immediately wants to sleep.

Yang Yuhuan, who came out after serving Li Longji, returned to his bedroom and told the maids to prepare, she was also going to soak in warm soup.

The Flying Frost Hall is the dormitory of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan in the Huaqing Palace, when they came every year in the past, both of them lived in the Flying Frost Palace, but this year, Yang Yuhuan chose another side hall as his bedroom for fear of disturbing the emperor's rest, although Li Longji was a little strange, but he did not interfere. In Huaqing Pond Palace, Li Longji has his own special hot spring pool, called "Lotus Soup". Yang Yuhuan's special bath is called Hibiscus Soup, which is an indoor hot spring pool, and Yang Yuhuan's bedroom is arranged next to the Hibiscus Soup. This is also the main reason why Li Longji allowed Yang Yuhuan to stay in the palace alone, he was afraid that Yang Yuhuan would be frozen.

Under the service of the maids, Yang Yuhuan took off all the clothes on his body, stepped on broken steps, and slid his body into the hot spring pool.

The warm feeling made Yang Yuhuan cry out comfortably, but what she had been missing in her heart was what a little man promised her last night. After the maids sprinkled some flower petals and other beauty functions into the hot spring pool, Yang Yuhuan ordered the maids to pull up all the curtains on the side of the hibiscus soup.

"You all stand down, this palace wants to soak in the hot spring pool alone for a while, no one is allowed to come in without a summons from this palace!" (To be continued.) )
