Chapter 209: Another Man in a Mask
The Lantern Festival gathers so many officials and people to enjoy the lanterns, so naturally it will not be unprepared.
After less than a quarter of an hour, there was an order to patrol the city, and the people gradually settled down.
A figure flashed into the color building and landed beside Li Yan, an ordinary middle-aged man.
"No one has done anything!" The middle-aged man whispered.
Li Yan's face sank.
If no one is murderous, someone is deliberately creating unrest!
Looking back at the little girl Chi who was protected by Tsing Yi in her arms, the little girl looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, not flustered, only trust.
Li Yan couldn't help but stretch out his hand to her-
"Ahem!" The little girl's father coughed heavily.
Li Yan withdrew his hand casually, and said lightly: "There are many people outside and chaos, you wait and leave!" β
"Temple, you also wait before leaving!" The little girl said worriedly.
Li Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "I'll see you tomorrow." With that, his eyes flashed, and he struck out, reaching the little girl's head like lightning.
But there is another one here who is faster than him, who decisively intercepted the wolf claws of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and smiled coldly: "Congratulations to His Highness!" β
Li Yan withdrew his hand without changing his face, bowed slightly to the little girl with a red face, and walked towards the outside of the Cai Lou.
Chi Tang was still not at ease, so he pulled Chi Changting and said, "Daddy, he is like this...... Wouldn't it be too dangerous, you asked Brother Zhan to bring someone to escort it? β
Chi Changting sneered and said, "Look around!" β
Chi Tang was slightly stunned, looked left and right, and found that it was much emptier than just now.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by masters like clouds, and you want to worry about it?" Chi Changting said angrily.
Chi Tang blushed and stopped talking.
After settling down outside, the people who were originally crowded in the color building also tentatively walked out.
After Chi Changting asked Zhan Yu to take someone to find Yan Songyun and his party and Chi Changfu's party, he also took his daughter out of the colorful building and stood at the door waiting.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Songyun and Yan Shu came back first.
Chi Changting was talking to Yan Songyun, Chi Tang was originally standing beside his father, but when he felt someone walking out behind him, he stood behind his father.
As the man passed her, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Chi Tang subconsciously looked up and was stunned.
This person was also wearing a Zhong Kui mask, and his body was also long and thin, Chi Tang thought at first glance that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was back.
It's just that under this mask, the eyes are gentle and smiling, and they are affectionate, like mellow wine, almost intoxicating.
Chi Tang was looked at with a pair of eyes with a smile on his face, but he was like falling into an ice cave.
"I'll send you." He said softly, and also lifted the lantern in his hand and handed it to her, as if they were old friends.
Chi Tang gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his hand to rip off the mask on his face.
Under the mask, the smile on the man's lips deepened, and a pampering look was added to his eyes.
"It's Qin's luck to be recognized by Miss Chiβ"
β¦β¦
"It was King Zhao who recommended Qin Gui to His Majestyβ" Li Yan said, "Your Majesty loves him very much, and has been awarded the Doctor of Taile Department, and he is also the edict of Hanlin, and he has been given the Jiade Gate to walk." β
Chi Tang said angrily: "He will bewitch people!" β
Chi Changting glanced at her and said, "Straighten your legs!" Run a lap on your own! β
Chi Tang foolishly followed his instructions and made full movements, carefully urging the horse to trot.
Chi Changting looked at her intently and asked, "Did you find out about last night's mess?" β
"Nope." Li Yan said.
Chi Changting sneered: "In my opinion, it was Qin Gui who did it!" β
Most of them want to take advantage of the chaos to do something to Ah Tang! Good thing he watched closely!
Li Yan also thought of this possibility, his face sank suddenly, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Qin Gui can't move for the time being, we can't prove that Qin Gui is Yao Seventeen." β
Qin Gui is Yao Seventeen, this has always been just their speculation, and the only witness, Miss Chi, has also denied in public that she has seen her kidnapper.
If Qin Gui was hiding in the dark, they could still get rid of it secretly, but now that it was past the light, it would be difficult to do it.
Qin Gui entered Beijing last year, and he only appeared until now, so he naturally has full confidence.
Standing in front of Chi Tang so blatantly last night was because he still had a companion.
Li Xiu, King of Wei.
When Li Yan was too busy with state affairs to take care of him, Qin Gui had already won a lot of favor, not to mention how much favor the emperor had bestowed, even Li Xiu also admired him.
Miss Chi said that he was good at demagoguery, which was really not bad at all.
"Qin Gui climbed to King Zhao, I'm afraid there is some plan, after all, Your Majesty only sentenced Yao Wuji to prison, and he came out after robbing the prison." Pond Changting Road.
Li Yan nodded: "Alone." β
Chi Changting sneered and said, "If you rebel, you won't kill it, Your Majesty is really a benevolent monarch!" β
Li Yan was silent for a moment and said, "The ancestors of the Yao family are kind to my Li family, and Your Majesty has to be benevolent." β
Chi Changting said with a smile: "Your Majesty didn't think about benevolence when he first succeeded to the throne. β
Li Yan's face turned cold: "Be cautious!" β
Chi Changting smiled and said, "King Zhao has been making frequent moves recently, His Highness doesn't care?" β
Li Yan was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to let King Zhao preside over the current palace examination. β
Chi Changting was instantly moved.
Since his accession to the throne today, he has always personally presided over the palace examination, and the first time he conceded power was to King Zhao!
The crown prince was greatly boosted by the prestige of the court because of the counterinsurgency in Jiangnan, and he expected that the emperor would be dissatisfied, but he did not expect to act so quickly.
From this point of view, Qin Gui was indeed unable to move for a while, and at this time, the person recommended by King Zhao undoubtedly slapped His Majesty the Emperor in the face.
"What is Your Highness's countermeasure?" Chi Changting asked.
"Starting next month, on the first day of the new year, the orphan club will go to Guozijian to listen to classes with all the students." Li Yan said.
Chi Changting was surprised.
Young scholars were selected for the palace examination, and the best of the young scholars were all in the country.
King Zhao wanted to be the tutor of the scholars, but the prince surrendered himself to become a classmate of the scholars.
Tut-tut...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really scheming!
"In addition, Mr. Lu intends to join the Guozijian to teach-" Li Yan glanced at him, "Does Chi Gong also want to teach in the Guozijian?" After a pause, "There are more than 2,180 students in Guozijian, and Chi Gong can look for them slowly." β
Chi Changting glanced at him: "Heh! β
If you're in a hurry to be a junior, do you want face?
Li Yan said: "If you can find a few suitable ones in the Guozi Prison, you can directly send them to the Hongwen Pavilion to help revise the law." β
Chi Changting was not unmoved, but he still did not compromise: "Heh! β
At this time, Chi Tang came back from running a lap and coquettishly asked his father for credit: "Daddy, can I do this?" β
Chi Changting sneered: "Just over there, Tsing Yi helped you, don't think I didn't see it!" β
Chi Tang suddenly blushed, and muttered, "Then I'll run another lap?" β
Chi Changting smiled: "Okay, come down and rest for a while, don't be tired!" β
Chi Tang smiled "hehe", held his father's hand and got off the horse.
Suddenly, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask: "Do you remember that Yan Sanlang was involved in prison when he was in Wu County?" β
Chi Changting was slightly stunned and said, "Yan Songyun?" He may be reluctant to come out. β
Chi Tang's heart moved, and he muttered, "I don't necessarily want to......"
