Chapter 296: Emperor Xuanzong
Li Qi frowned, and when Li Canghai saw this, he took the opportunity to shout: "You are so bold, you dare to search even the prince?" ”
"The little one doesn't dare, but this is an order from above, and the little one is just acting on orders, hoping that the prince will atone for his sins." The soldier said without fear.
Li Qi and Li Canghai glanced at each other, and said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, if you want to search, you can search, don't delay this king's face saint." ”
The soldier nodded again and again, and searched the two of them earnestly.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that the two were not carrying any weapons that they were allowed to enter the palace.
However, as soon as the two of them entered the palace, the gate of the palace suddenly closed.
"Lord Wang, that soldier is lying, he clearly recognizes you but pretends not to know." Li Canghai lowered his voice and said, "When he learned your identity, the shock he showed was too deliberate, and he knew at a glance that he was pretending. ”
Li Qi clasped his hands behind his back and whispered expressionlessly: "They are waiting for this king, and that soldier is definitely not an eagle guard, it seems that you have indeed been righted by you." ”
The two of them walked silently in the palace all the way.
Luoyang Shangyang Palace, covers an extremely wide area, the halls and halls face each other, and the buildings stand in a forest.
It was the first time for Li Canghai to set foot in a palace in the real sense, and when he entered it, what he saw in front of him could only be described as shocking.
Pavilions, pavilions, attic halls, abound.
He vaguely remembered a poem he heard when he visited the ruins of the Shendu in his previous life: Shangyang flowers and trees never fell, and Luoshui flowed everywhere through the palace. The palace maid of the Red Mansion in the painting pavilion smiled, and the jade flute and gold pipe were worried. The mantle city enters the stream, the orange blossom hair, and the jade chariot mountaineering laurel leaves are thick. He once read the biography of the Queen Mother of the Immortals. Nine days without a win in the middle of the stream.
At that time, he was only talking about the exaggeration of the person who wrote the poem, but when he saw it with his own eyes. There is no exaggeration in Fang Zhi's poem.
However, Li Canghai didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shangyang.
He knows. In the midst of this beauty, there is a turbulent undercurrent.
If this undercurrent flows, it is enough to affect the world.
Li Canghai followed Li Qi closely, and the two of them didn't say a word, and walked straight to the Linzhi Courtyard where the banquet was held.
On the way to the Intoe Temple, the number of guards increased significantly, and it can be seen that most of these guards are the Imperial Foresters.
When the two arrived, there were already many ministers in the courtyard.
The ministers talked very happily and saw Li Qi coming. They saluted him one after another.
"See the prince."
Li Qi nodded slightly, he glanced at everyone, and asked the official beside him, "Lord Zhang, how many officials are here now?" ”
"Back to the prince, there are more than 60 officials." The official bowed slightly.
"My lord, what is the grade of all the officials?" Li Canghai asked.
The adult Zhang glanced at Li Canghai and couldn't help frowning.
Crippled and squinted, with a crooked mouth and a numb face, he is simply an ugly monster.
But seeing him follow behind King Jianning. That Lord Zhang didn't want to say anything, so he said: "Officials below the fifth rank are not qualified to face the saint, except for some jurors in Dugi Province who are in the fifth grade, the rest of the officials are all above the fourth grade. ”
That's all that is said and done. Master Zhang arched his hand at Li Canghai and asked, "I don't know what kind of product Your Excellency is?" ”
Li Canghai smiled and said, "Me? No frets. ”
"Five pins?" Master Zhang's originally bent waist suddenly straightened up. His tone also changed: "Five-grade official, it's not too small. It is also a blessing for you to be able to meet the Holy One! ”
Li Canghai smiled. said: "Lord Zhang, I think you misunderstood. I'm not a five-pin, but a no-pin. ”
As he spoke, Li Canghai symbolically drew a circle.
Only then did Master Zhang react, his face instantly turned cold, and a wave of anger rose, glaring at Li Canghai fiercely.
He is dignified and Dali Temple, and he will bow to a tasteless person, how can he bear it?
But he couldn't have a seizure, he came with Li Qi, and naturally he was Li Qi's person.
The identity of King Jianning still has some weight.
Li Canghai squeezed his eyes disapprovingly, and Lord Zhang was even more annoyed when he saw this, flicked the sleeves of his robe, snorted and turned to leave.
Because his appearance was too ugly, everyone soon distanced themselves from the two.
"Lord, have you found anything?" Li Canghai's deep eyes swept over everyone and asked in a low voice.
Li Qi sat at the table, picked up the wine glass and replied: "The officials here are all important ministers of the imperial court, and it can be said that they control half of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Yes, I just listened to their conversation, and the people who hold great power in the six ministries, except for Cui Lian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the rest of the people are all here." Li Canghai picked up a banana and said softly while eating.
Li Canghai didn't finish speaking, but Li Qi understood his voice.
As long as these officials are controlled, they will basically control half of the Tang Dynasty, and this is indeed the best time to wipe out the Tang Dynasty.
Li Qi frowned slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and fell silent.
As the hour approached, a shrill voice came: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”
All the officers knelt on the ground at the same time.
Li Canghai followed the sound and saw a group of pedestrians walking not far away.
The palace maid who holds the lantern is in front, the canopy is behind, and a man in a dragon robe under the canopy walks slowly with his hands behind his back.
Li Canghai glanced at the man, unable to hide his excitement.
The legendary Tang Ming Emperor, the founder of the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and also the promoter of the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the story of him and Yang Yuhuan has been sung through the ages, and Li Canghai never dreamed that he would be able to see it with his own eyes.
At this time, Li Longji was over half a hundred years old, but the majesty of the emperor on his body was not angry and arrogant.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Li Longji walked to the three-foot jade platform, sat on the dragon chair and waved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the officials bowed down, they took their seats.
At this time, Gong E brought out a plate of delicacies and placed them on the table in front of everyone in an orderly manner.
Soon, all the tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Li Canghai looked at it and saw that the rankings of all officials were arranged according to their ranks.
The emperor is on top, followed by the envoys of various countries, then the descendants of the royal family, and then the civil and military officials.
Li Canghai was not a member of the royal family, and he was not a civil and military official, so he was not allowed to sit down, so he had to follow behind Li Qi and pour him wine.
However, it also gave him time to observe the crowd.
He glanced around the people present, but he didn't find An Lushan's figure, but he let him find Liu Tong.
Liu Tong was next to Yang Guozhong, and there was no conversation between the two.
However, Li Canghai keenly found that Liu Tong seemed to be very nervous.
The night breeze was slightly cool, the weather was not very hot, and he did not sweat on his forehead, but he wiped it with a handkerchief from time to time.
In addition, Li Canghai also saw his left hand on the table, tapping on the table quickly. (To be continued.) )
