The rain still kept falling, and the tail on the top of Qionglou Yuyu rose to the sky, as if it was about to take off at any time, and it became more and more spectacular in the natural power of lightning and thunder and heavy rain. Whenever Xue Chongxun walked into the Daming Palace, whether it was sunny or rainy, he would faintly feel a kind of coercion, and there seemed to be a mysterious force in this endless smoke and wave temple, which was in the world.

After Xue Chongxun came to the Chengxiang Hall by car, the eunuch took him to the Star Tower. Before that, he felt that there must be something important, otherwise his mother would not have asked him to brave the heavy rain to enter the palace, and when he went up to the star tower and saw that the prime minister Li Shouyi was actually here, he immediately understood what was going on.

Xue Chongxun stepped forward quickly, and was about to kneel down to say goodbye, but Princess Taiping immediately stopped him and said, "Let's watch the play performed by Li Xianggong first, and then it's not too late." ”

Seeing that Princess Taiping's face was not very good, Xue Chongxun was also faintly uneasy in his heart...... blatantly against her, not hesitating to kill, it is strange that she can have a good face.

Princess Taiping turned around and said to the female Taoist priest Yuqing on the side: "I shouldn't have disturbed your Qing cultivation, but this place is the highest, let's leave after watching the performance." ”

Yuqing said indifferently: "The whole world is ruled by His Royal Highness, you don't have to pay attention to the poor road." ”

Xue Chongxun listened to them, and also glanced at them casually, he hadn't seen them for a long time, and he saw that Yuqing's melon seed face seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. There was still Bai Qimei standing next to her, and when Bai Qimei saw Xue Chongxun looking here, she rolled her eyes while people were not paying attention, put her fingers to her mouth and made a grimace, which made people cry and laugh.

At this time, a palace maid opened the veil, and Xue Chongxun followed Princess Taiping to the railing outside. I saw that Li Shouyi was busy there, and he held up a long bamboo pole, which was several feet long, and I am afraid that it was made of several bamboos tied together. After propping it up, he used a rope to fix the bamboo pole, and then used another bamboo pole to prop up a silver wire with a hook and hang it on the silver wire halfway up his waist.

And one end of the silver thread was tied to the neck of a little white sheep.

Yuqing walked out to watch, she didn't know what everyone was doing, she just watched silently, Bai Qimei knew it.

After Li Shou prepared his things, he turned around and saluted: "The clues that the minister found at the scene are similar to this, and the minister does not dare to determine whether the thunder and lightning can be guided down because of this." Now, following the field test, if Aries dies in thunder, it proves that the minister's guess is correct, and Cui Mo died of plotting ......"

"Boom!" Before Li Shou finished speaking, there was a sudden loud bang, and everyone's eyes flashed, and they were all discolored. When everyone came to their senses, they saw that the sheep was lying motionless on the ground, and did not even bark.

When Li Shou saw this, he didn't explain anything, and the facts were in front of him.

Princess Taiping glanced at Xue Chongxun, snorted, turned around and walked back to the open hall, Xue Chongxun behind looked at the sheep on the ground in wonder, and said in his heart: It's really immediate, and the effect is too fast, Li Shouyi's old boy is still smart, and he knows how to use insulated bamboo poles to wiring, otherwise wouldn't it be a troublesome thing to split him to death!

He saw that he was also busy following in, only to see that Taiping had sat on the soft collapse with his eyes slightly closed to recuperate, and he really had a bit of a temperament of pure cultivation, it seemed that he was influenced by Yuqing during this time.

I don't know what she was thinking, but it took a long time to open her eyes and call, "Li Xianggong." ”

Li Shouyi hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The minister is here." Taiping asked, "Who else knows about this but you?" ”

"Wang Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion was surveying the impeachment scene with his ministers at that time." Li Shouyi said in a deep voice, "The minister already knows how powerful, tell him to keep his mouth, Wang Shaoyin is a friend of the minister who has worked with him for many years, and he is trustworthy, he promised not to say it, there will be no difference, Your Highness and rest assured." ”

Princess Taiping looked at Li Shouyi with interest and said, "Xiaozhi's interests? What are the stakes and tell me. ”

Li Shouyi glanced at Xue Chongxun on the side with casual eyes, and repeated Xue Chongxun's truth that day, and secrecy was naturally for the sake of national stability.

Princess Taiping was very satisfied after hearing this, and praised: "Sure enough, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and Li Xianggong has the overall situation in mind, and he is really a rare pillar of the country." ”

Li Shouyi hurriedly said: "Seeking his own government in his post is the internal affairs of the phase." ”

Princess Taiping moved her gaze to Xue Chongxun, with anger on her face: "Unsuccessful rebel, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xue Chongxun looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said: "Erchen has nothing to say, please punish my mother." ”

Princess Taiping said coldly: "You are tired of being the king of the county for a long time, and from today onwards, you will not be called the king!" Tomorrow, I will ask Yousi to give you an official document, get out of the capital for me, and go to Longyou to reflect on my sins! ”

Without the throne, he was really depressed in his heart, and the prince was so powerful...... But Longyou is just what he wants, and there is nothing unacceptable. However, he glanced at Li Shouyi, and then pretended to be sad and said: "Erchen is willing to be punished, but he is reluctant to ...... his mother."

Princess Taiping still said coldly: "I have made up my mind, and I will not ask for mercy." If you don't give you some punishment, you will be pampered and arrogant. ”

Killing someone is just a demotion, Li Shouyi has nothing to say, and he didn't pretend to intercede for Xue Chongxun, he just didn't say a word. After a while, he seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with him, so he bowed and said goodbye and left first.

Princess Taiping also stood up, and when she walked to the door, she turned back and said, "What are you doing here, come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

"Yes." Xue Chongxun replied dejectedly, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Bai Wuchang gesturing beside him...... Xue Chongxun didn't know how to speak dumbly, how could he know what she meant, at this time, he was still worried about being reprimanded, and he didn't care about her, so he nodded and dealt with the matter, and hurriedly followed Princess Taiping to the outside of the open hall.

The group walked through the curved flying bridge to another palace, which was one level lower than the star tower of Fangcai, but more spacious. There is a balcony on the east side, which is covered by the pavilion roof, if you sit on this balcony in the morning to watch the sunrise, sit high and see far away, it must be very artistic conception.

There are no outsiders here, and Princess Taiping still doesn't have a good face: "You disappointed me so much, you can't even compare to Li Shouyi, people still know that the overall situation is important, and what are you messing around with all day long?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Li Shouyi originally planned to shout out after discovering the suspicions at the scene that day, but he was willing to keep it secret after I persuaded him. ”

"Oh?" Princess Taiping looked at him suspiciously.

Xue Chongxun continued: "I don't mean to go against my mother, but Jincheng is already my person, no matter what, I can't follow my mother's wishes, this is the minimum dignity of being a human being!" ”

Taiping said angrily: "You four brothers, I love you the most, and I haven't given you dignity yet?" Jincheng is already your person, what does it mean? What did you do without telling me! ”

The mother and son quarreled again, Princess Taiping's temperament was so domineering, she wanted everyone to listen to her, and everything was done according to her wishes, but Xue Chongxun always had to make her own opinions, how could she not be angry? If someone else was doing it against her like this, she would definitely try her best to suppress it, but she couldn't do anything to Xue Chongxun.

After arguing for a long time, Princess Taiping was a little tired, waved her sleeves and said, "This matter is over here, there is no need to talk about your crooked reasoning...... In a few days, you will go to Shanzhou to do Shanzhou Thorn History, out of sight and out of mind! ”

Although he had been arguing for so long, Xue Chongxun didn't move, and then showed a smile: "If my mother can't see me in a few days, she will definitely talk about it." ”

Princess Taiping said angrily: "If I am not popular, I will live a few more years, what do you do...... After you arrive in Shanzhou, you can do whatever you want, don't forget to get down to business, contact Jingshi more, understand? ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "I will naturally handle the things that my mother explained, but don't carry me behind my back and send Jincheng out...... No, I want to take her with me. ”

"What are you taking her for?" Princess Taiping frowned and said, "The people of the Cui family are all dead, who do I give it to, who dares to ask for it?" Don't worry about this anymore, you can take a woman with you, take Cheng Ting. ”

"Cheng Ting......" Xue Chongxun groaned.

Princess Taiping Zhengse said: "You must look at Cheng Qianli more, and if there are any bad signs, report to Chang'an in advance...... I don't believe that Cheng Qianli has a problem, but more than 100,000 armor soldiers are in his hands, so he is afraid of being instigated by gangsters, so he has to guard against it. ”

Xue Chongxun nodded to show his understanding: fighting against Tubo on the Longyou border, Shanzhou has always been the base camp and base of the Tang Dynasty, and letting someone with a background like Xue Chongxun control Shanzhou is equivalent to choking the grain and grass supply line of soldiers and horses, and can also monitor the movements of the soldiers nearby, which is the main reason why Princess Taiping arranged for him to be the assassin of Shanzhou.

Thinking about it this way, Xue Chongxun found that his mother was a combination of grace and power to the people below, and he did have some means to engage in politics and governance.

Xue Chongxun said helplessly: "In this way, even if I don't want to take a woman, I can't do it?" ”

Taiping said: "You are not going to lead the troops, but to be a magistrate, what does it matter if you bring a woman?" With Cheng Ting by your side at any time, not only can you show your favor, but when the time comes, you will be able to have a close relationship with Cheng Qianli. You don't need me to say this, do you understand? ”

Xue Chongxun turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside the building, and was speechless for a while.

Princess Taiping followed his gaze and said, "This rain will not stop for a while, so you can stay and finish eating, and rest in my palace at night, and ask Cheng Ting to accompany you." ”

"Oh......" Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, my mother's anger has finally subsided, otherwise I would have to brave the rain and rush back." ”

In fact, let Cheng Ting be good with him, Cheng Ting is a young and beautiful woman, he has nothing reluctant, but this love between men and women has to be specified, and he always feels a little awkward.

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said: "The safety of the border beacon land is changing rapidly, even the important town of Shanzhou has been breached, I want to take the Flying Tiger Regiment with me, and I will have more helpers." He said while saying in his heart: In case the battle is not effective for thousands of miles, I have the protection of the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and it is convenient to run away. G
