Liu Yunzhang had just sat down, and Cui Anqian was still instructing the kitchen to prepare a good banquet, and there was movement outside the mansion.

Someone from the palace came, bringing the emperor's message, and the emperor wanted to summon Liu Yunzhang.

Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang were a little stunned, this speed was too fast, Liu Yunzhang had just entered the capital, and the emperor sent someone to come, could it be that the emperor was also very concerned about Li Rupei's marriage.

Cui Anqian didn't say much, and quickly handed over Cui Hanlei's birthday to Liu Yunzhang, Li Rupei's birthday eight characters, there are them in the palace, take out Cui Hanlei's birth eight characters, go to the palace, let a special person calculate, this marriage is basically decided, such a good son-in-law, Cui Anqian naturally will not miss it, as for the relevant etiquette, it doesn't need to be so complicated.

Liu Yunzhang made a little preparation and followed the people towards the palace.

Liu Yunzhang's mood is very calm, it is said that he should be very excited to see the emperor, but unfortunately his mind has long changed, and now the emperor in his mind is already Li Rupei, so this time when he enters the palace, the mood is completely different, this change makes Liu Yunzhang himself feel strange.

Entering the familiar palace, Liu Yunzhang was slightly touched, and he thought of the first emperor.

Since Tang Xuanzong, the emperor is in the Daming Palace to act in government affairs, the Daming Palace's Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall have become the main office space, the court meeting is generally held in the Hanyuan Hall or the Xuanzheng Palace, the emperor's daily office is mostly in the Zichen Palace, to be able to enter the Zichen Palace and the emperor to discuss together, is called the cabinet, that is a very glorious thing, many civil and military ministers are proud of this.

Liu Yunzhang was taken directly into the Zichen Hall by the eunuchs.

The emperor was waiting in the Zichen Palace.

This made Liu Yunzhang a little surprised, those who can enter the Zichen Palace are all high-powered civil and military ministers, or eunuchs, ordinary officials can't enter at all, he just came to the capital on behalf of Li Rupei to propose, and it's not a big deal, for the emperor, a prince's marriage is really not a big deal, not to mention that this emperor, with entertainment as the main thing, doesn't care about the government at all.

Liu Yunzhang's current identity is the deputy envoy of Shannan West Road, which is the highest position in the local official position, except for the Jiedu envoy, and the people who can hold this position are generally the most trusted people of the Jiedu envoy, and this kind of position is all directly appointed by the Jiedu envoy, and it can be reported to the imperial court for the record.

Li Rupei is the king of Yi, the prince of the imperial court, and the court concurrently serves as a prince as a festival envoy, there have been many precedents, but they are generally remote leaders, the prince will not really go to the place, he still stays in the capital, and in fact, he can't control local things, and he can't control the actual power, from this aspect, Li Rupei is an exception.

At the same time, Li Rupei's bumpy life experience is also one of the places that everyone pays attention to, Li Rupei's father, Li Tong, the king of Wei, was not rehabilitated by the imperial court, but Li Rupei was canonized as a prince, this kind of contradictory measures is too few.

Liu Yunzhang entered the Zichen Hall and saw the emperor sitting on top of the imperial palace at a glance.

The emperor's age is not much different from Li Rupei, two years older than Li Rupei, but at this moment, Liu Yunzhang saw the emperor, and he felt completely different.

After meeting the emperor, Liu Yunzhang flattened down and waited for the emperor to speak, he didn't even talk about the matter of Luoyang, the eastern capital, it was already in the past, Li Rupei gave a conclusion, and he didn't need to ask for guilt in front of the emperor.

The emperor's strange movement made Liu Yunzhang feel a little nervous.

The emperor dismissed all the eunuchs around him, and in the main hall, only the emperor and Liu Yunzhang were left, and even the guards retreated to the gate, and the door of the main hall was also closed.

"Deputy Envoy Liu, this time you went to the capital on behalf of King Yi to propose marriage, I am very concerned, King Yi is the hero of the royal family, and the iron-blooded army is even more famous, and they are discussing with the ministers of civil and military affairs, such family affairs, if I don't pay attention to them, I can't say it."

"On behalf of the King of Yi, thank Your Majesty for your care for the King of Yi."

Liu Yunzhang was noncommittal, he knew very well that the emperor's statement had no practical effect, Li Rupei, as a prince, was supposed to enjoy Yulu, and these should be allocated by the imperial court, but after such a long time, the imperial court did not have any expression, which shows that the emperor canonized Li Rupei as the prince, which is nothing more than pushing the boat down the river and giving a title.

To Liu Yunzhang's surprise, what the emperor said next surprised and shocked him.

"I want to be reunited with King Yi in the capital, there are some things I really want to talk to King Yi face to face, the past is over, I hope that King Yi's wedding can be carried out in the capital, if King Yi settles down in the capital, my wish will be fulfilled."

Liu Yunzhang didn't open his mouth to answer, the words that the emperor said were purely a joke.

It is said that the emperor has been on the throne for seven years, and he should understand a lot of things, how to say such words casually, the court situation is controlled by Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs, and Li Tong, the king of Wei, was killed, which has a direct relationship with Tian Lingzi, it can be said that Tian Lingzi is Li Rupei's biggest enemy, Liu Yunzhang once told Li Rupei about this matter on the side, Li Rupei's answer made him admire, for the world of the Tang Dynasty, for the future of the Li Tang royal family, Li Rupei will not find Tian Lingzi for revenge for the time being.

Li Rupei's answer is reasonable and reasonable, and he has made great concessions, but if Li Rupei is allowed to come to the capital, the hatred between him and Tian Lingzi will definitely break out, can't the emperor think of this.

Once Li Rupei and the Iron Army come to the capital and are stuck with grain and grass, then everything has to obey others, and they will lose all their support, to put it mildly, Li Rupei is likely to suffer the same ending as Li Yan, the king of Wei, such a simple truth, fools can see it very clearly.

Li Rupei's ability and wisdom are by no means comparable to ordinary people, the emperor and Li Rupei in front of him are not at the same level at all, if Li Rupei comes to the capital, I am afraid that he will not be able to get along peacefully with the emperor, at that time, the contradiction will inevitably break out, and it will be extremely sharp, which is a fatal blow to the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is even more powerful than Huangchao and many festival envoys in the north, can't the emperor think of this.

Liu Yunzhang made a judgment in an instant, and there is only one reason why the emperor said such words can be explained, and that is Tian Lingzi's instigation behind his back.

Liu Yunzhang felt pathetic, the emperor has been on the throne for seven years, and he looks majestic on the surface, but unfortunately his heart is still not truly mature, and he is still controlled by others.

Maybe Li Rupei was sent by God to save Datang.

Seeing that Liu Yunzhang didn't speak, the emperor was a little sneering.

"Deputy Envoy Liu, that's what I said, this is what I think in my heart."

"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands, but such a major matter, the minister does not dare to make the decision on his own, the minister came to the capital this time, he was entrusted by the prince to propose marriage to Cui Anqian."

"I know that I have never seen King Yi, and I have no impression of what happened when I was a child, I remember that King Yi was still very young, and after so many years, I think that King Yi has grown up, and the royal family has such a talent, I am also happy."

Perhaps Liu Yunzhang's attitude made the emperor a little unhappy, and the summons ended soon.

Before leaving, Liu Yunzhang took out Li Rupei's recital and handed it to the emperor in person.

When he followed the eunuch to leave the Zichen Palace, Liu Yunzhang's brain was spinning rapidly, he felt the contradiction of the emperor, maybe he attacked King Wei and others, not the emperor himself, after all, the emperor was still young at that time, and the government was controlled by Tian Lingzi and others, and later the king of Wei was killed, and the emperor was not very comfortable, but Tian Lingzi followed the emperor since he was a child and had a deep affection for each other, so the emperor let it go.

The rise of Li Rupei made Tian Lingzi and others feel nervous, at this time, Tian Lingzi took advantage of the relationship with the emperor and began to make wishful thinking, to say that the emperor could not be completely brainless, and he would think about things, at least to crown Li Rupei as the prince, it was a decision made by the emperor, and others could not make a decision.

The emperor may want to ease the relationship between Li Rupei and Tian Lingzi, but unfortunately this is possible, when Li Rupei takes control of the overall situation, it will definitely be the death of Tian Lingzi and others.

When he was about to walk out of the main hall, Liu Yunzhang suddenly felt that the emperor was very pitiful, he was supported by the eunuchs to become the emperor, he didn't do anything when he was young, he didn't care about anything, and now he has grown up and began to think about controlling power, but where is this so simple as words, those who have long been in control of power, are they willing to let go.

The forbidden army has always been controlled by eunuchs, and the festival envoys in many places are also candidates recommended by eunuchs, and some even have an extraordinary relationship with eunuchs, such as Liu Ziheng and so on.

Liu Yunzhang suddenly thought of Li Rupei, Li Rupei is deeply disgusted with eunuchs, this disgusted attitude, is by no means because of his own experience, Li Rupei thinks that eunuchs are crippled people, psychological deformity, holding power is inevitably extreme, although there are a few eunuchs are also good, but the vast majority of eunuchs are disaster to the country and the people, so in Shannan West Road, it is not that you can't see eunuchs, Li Rupei was canonized as a prince, you can open a government to build a mansion, you can recruit eunuchs, but he has not done this thing, The attitude towards eunuchs is completely repulsive, and it is conceivable that once Li Rupei takes control of the unification, the end of the eunuchs may come.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunzhang felt very comfortable in his heart, in fact, he also had an indescribable hatred for eunuchs.
