readx; Five more than not, the rumbling drum beat to disperse the sleeping night fog, a lantern in front of the door of the house lit up in the dark and dreary night, the stars are dotted, and the stars in the sky shine brightly, a carriage drove out of the house, converged on the street, and then went out of the door, drove onto the street, and merged into the greater sea of people in the upper court, today is the fifth day of the eighth month, is the moon dynasty will be the son, because this is the first great court meeting since the new emperor Li Shi ascended the throne, every official attaches great importance to it, no one asks for leave, All the ministers of the ninth rank and above had to participate, and before dawn, almost all the courtiers went out.

Although the Tang Dynasty is a broad-minded dynasty, there is still a strict hierarchy within the ruling class, not every official can ride a carriage, and only those who need to be above the fifth rank are qualified to ride a special carriage, and the carriage also has a hierarchy, which is divided into four classes, such as the five-rank officials take the Xianxian car, and the third-rank officials take the Tongxian, the carriages are all cyan, and the number of horses has also increased from five to seven, and the first-rank officials take the red chariot of nine horses, as for the eighteen-seated chariot of the highest level, It was the car of the Son of Heaven and the Prince of Prince, and ordinary ministers could only ride it when they were called to the palace.

Most of the middle- and low-level officials rode horses, horses' hooves were mixed, wheels were on the streets, and a mighty army of the upper dynasty was formed on Suzaku Street.

With the sound of drums, the major city gates of Chang'an were also opened at the same time, the Mingde Gate was slowly opened under the reflection of the torches, and Li Qing'an's personal army, which had been waiting outside the city, began to enter the city, and the carriage was in the strict escort of more than 500 personal soldiers, Li Qing'an set off from the military camp on time at four and three o'clock, although there were more than a dozen civilian officers in his military camp, but they did not belong to the category of Beijing officials, so they did not need to participate in the monthly court meeting, only participated in the annual meeting.

Li Qing'an, as a prince, according to the etiquette system, he can take eighteen chariots, but in order not to be ostentatious, he still takes a nine-horse chariot, the wall of the car is black, the decoration is very simple, and the black background is silver, which looks very beautiful.

In fact, his carriage with black background and silver edges and 500 personal guards could not be low-key at all, and when he walked on the street, everyone knew that this was Li Qingan's carriage.

The carriage passed through the Mingde Gate and entered the Suzaku Street, there were not many officials living in several squares at the south end of the Suzaku Street, the street seemed very deserted, only more than 100 merchants who got up early and waited to get out of the city gathered on both sides of the city gate, they were about to rush out of the city, but they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, waiting for Li Qing'an's carriage to enter the city first, about 50 steps away from the city gate, there were several black-clothed people on horseback, seeing Li Qing'an's team enter the city, the black-clothed people on horseback immediately stepped forward, the leader was Li Qing'an's intelligence leader Hu Yunpei in Chang'an, Hu Yunpei rushed forward, He took out the gold medal and said, "I want to see the general." ”

The soldiers all knew him, and they also knew Hu Yunpei's gold medal, everyone got out of the way, the carriage stopped, Hu Yunpei stepped forward and saluted: "Subordinate Hu Yunpei has something important to report to the general." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Qingan's voice came from the carriage.

"Report to the general, my subordinates just received the news that Wei Jiansu has been released from Dali Temple and is currently at home."

"How long has it been?"

Hu Yunpei's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "According to a subordinate who served in Dali Temple, Wei Jiansu was released from Dali Temple by the fourth correction, and a carriage sent him home directly, and the background of this carriage is under investigation. ”

As soon as he said this, one of Hu Yunpei's subordinates rushed forward and whispered a few words to him, Hu Yunpei hurriedly said: "The background of the carriage has been investigated, and the carriage finally returned to the Yongwang Mansion, which is the carriage of the prison country. ”

In the carriage, Li Qingan did not light the lamp, he leaned on the wall of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, although Wei Jiansu was placed in his expectations, but he expected it wrong in time, he thought that Wei Jiansu would be released last night, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until the early hours of this morning, it can be said that he was released at the last moment, which also shows Li Heng's mentality, both worried about his revenge, but unwilling to give in, and finally had to let go.

The corners of Li Qingan's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of mocking sneer, did he think this was a concession? The serious impact caused to himself, did he think that he could make up for it by letting people go? If it is really that simple, why should he release people now, it can be seen that Li Heng knows the seriousness of the problem, but he makes a painless move, in the final analysis, it is still out of contempt for himself.

Thinking of this, Li Qingan said to Hu Yunpei: "We must closely monitor Wei Jiansu's whereabouts, do not allow him to leave Chang'an one step, and continue to strengthen the monitoring of the major families, and report to me immediately if there is any situation." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Hu Yunpei saluted and was about to leave, but Li Qingan stopped him again, "Did you find the person I asked you to find last time?" ”

Li Qing'an is looking for Li Mi, since the Huangzhuang incident, Li Mi and the eldest grandson Quanxu were locked up in the Huangzhuang together, and they were not released until eight days later, the eldest grandson Quanxu was dismissed and went home, but Li Mi disappeared, Li Qingan asked Hu Yunpei to look for Li Mi in Chang'an or Guanzhong.

Hu Yunpei shook his head and said: "Returning to the general, his subordinates sent five hundred people to look for Mr. Li, but he disappeared like evaporation, and there is news that he may have left Guanzhong, and someone saw a Taoist priest who looked like him in Tongguan and went out of Tongguan Guandong." ”

Li Qingan sighed slightly, it should be true, Li Mi has indeed become a monk several times, but it is a pity that he let him go and cannot be used for himself.

At this time, Hu Yunpei remembered something again, and hurriedly reported: "General, I received news from Huaqing Palace yesterday, it seems that there are unknown people haunting near Huaqing Palace. ”

Li Qingan was stunned, Huaqing Palace is empty, and only Yang Guifei lives in it, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to Huaqing Palace, it must be against Yang Guifei, who will this be?

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Send more people to protect the concubine closely, and don't make the slightest mistake!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Yunpei left quickly, Li Qingan thought about it again, he had to move Yang Guifei out of the Huaqing Palace, she lived in it alone, it was indeed a bit dangerous.

The carriage continued to move forward, Li Qing'an opened the window, the night breeze blew in, it was cool, his mind suddenly became sober, looking at the starry carriage in the distance, thinking that the court meeting was about to begin, thinking about the evidence he had, Li Qing'an once again felt a kind of excitement before the big battle.

．．．．．．． Li Heng arrived at the Mingde Gate of Daming Palace in the fifth correction, he didn't sleep all night last night, his eyelids were swollen, and he looked very tired, Li Heng is the regent of the prison country, and has the status of the emperor, it stands to reason that he can live in the palace, he can enjoy the general dignity of the emperor, but he has given up this kind of superficial dignity, once he lives in the palace, he will lose his freedom, and under the monitoring of the Yulin Army, Li Heng, who regards power above all else, would rather come to the court every day like a courtier.

In the official system of the lobby, there is no official title of the regent of the supervising country, Li Heng's title is King Yong, his father Li Longji once named him the Taiwei, Shan Yu Daduhu, so Li Heng is actually in a kind of half-monarch and half-minister, today's early dynasty He also needs to go to the Danfeng Gate to enter the Daming Palace like other ministers, but he can directly enter the Qifeng Pavilion next to the Hanyuan Hall to rest and wait.

Li Heng entered the Daming Palace, there was already a glimmer of light on the horizon, the breeze was blowing, it was extraordinarily refreshing, the wide Danfengmen Square was already full of courtiers standing in twos and threes, Li Heng's carriage passed through a group of middle and low-level officials, and the officials immediately dispersed respectfully, with a flattering smile on their faces, competing to greet him, "Your Highness the Prison Country is early!" ”

"It's really hard for His Highness the Prison to come so early."

The mental exhaustion made Li Heng tired of these officials for a while, but he still restrained the disgust in his heart, and nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, at this time, a guard stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, I have already asked, Li Qingan has not come yet." ”

"Hmmm! What about Wang Heng, is he here? ”

"Wang Xiangguo has arrived."

The guard pointed forward, only to see Wang Heng hurriedly walking towards this side, Wang Heng quickly stepped forward and saluted: "See Your Highness!" ”

Li Heng glanced at the officials, and they all walked away in amusement.

"Get in the car! I have something to say to you. ”

Wang Heng got into the carriage, and the carriage started again, heading towards Qifeng Pavilion.

In the carriage, Li Heng said slowly: "In the early hours of this morning, I have already ordered Wei Jiansu to be released. ”

Wang Heng was stunned, didn't he say yesterday that he would not compromise? Why did you change your mind again? He saw that Li Heng's eyes were bloodshot, his voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he had not yet fought, and he was defeated.

"What? Do you think it's inappropriate? Li Heng glanced at him and said.

"I just feel that it is a little sudden, and I am worried that Li Qingan will not know about the release in the early morning."

"Then you underestimate him too much, from his silver dollar dispute last year, I knew that he had a strict intelligence organization, I let Wei Jiansu go, and he was the first to know."

"But..."

Wang Heng snorted: "Just let Wei Jiansu go, will he appreciate it?" ”

Wang Heng's mind is relatively sober, comparing his heart to his heart, if he is Li Qing'an, Li Heng will release people like this, he will definitely not accept it, at this point, Wang Heng does not approve of Li Heng's approach, or he will give in happily, apologize to the Pei family and the Wei family, and severely punish the arresting Guan Zhongjun, or stick to the end and resolutely uncompromising, like this kind of dodging and releasing people, not only will it have no effect, but it will also be laughed at, but Wang Heng didn't say anything, he was silent.

At this time, a heavy bell sounded in the distance, and then the first bell rang, and after half an hour, the court meeting was about to officially begin, and Wang Heng said: "Your Highness, I will go down first." ”

"Go ahead! Later, the court will fight and fight, and don't give in easily. ”

"Humble duty understands!"

After the carriage listened steadily, Wang Heng pushed the car door and went down, Li Heng looked at his back, and couldn't help but feel troubled in his heart.

He thought about it all night last night, although Li Qingan was difficult to make a fuss about his subordinates, but Li Heng was worried that Li Qingan would shake out the matter of him killing Jingzong, Li Heng knew that his actions at that time were not seamless, many people around Li Yu did not die, most of his guards were released, although the eldest grandson Quanxu said that he didn't know anything, but he was dismissed from his post at home, will he be resentful for a long time? There is also that Li Mi, who is missing, he used to be Li Qingan's staff, will he hide by Li Qing'an's side and shake out this matter.

All kinds of doubts made Li Heng's heart full of worries, he didn't stick to the bottom line in the end, or ordered someone to take his gold medal and release Wei Jiansu, and now he regrets it a little, why did he let Wei Jiansu go? The evidence is conclusive, and he deserves it!

Li Heng was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know what kind of counterattack he would face Li Qing'an in the next court meeting?
