Commander Lu reported on this day, saying that Junchen and Wu Chengsi had been somewhat abnormal in recent days, especially Wu Chengsi, who was so depressed by Li Xian's return that he was drunk for many days, crying and laughing.

Commander Lu also said: "That Zhang Changzong recommended his cousin Zhang Yizhi to His Majesty, and the two served His Majesty together, which won the favor of His Majesty. Recently, the two brothers are preparing to preside over a book of "Three Teachings Zhuying", summarizing the essence of the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and looking for more than 40 people to participate in the compilation, I heard that even Shangguan Wan'er will participate in it. ”

Shen Mengxi laughed, "Zhang Fuxi has been a high-spirited and bright life, but I didn't expect his grandson to choose to take this shortcut." These two are more powerful than Huaiyi, and they are also in charge of a part of the forbidden army. ”

"Therefore, His Highness should avoid making enemies with the Zhang brothers, and should even be friendly." Commander Lu saw Shen Mengxi's indignation and hurriedly persuaded him.

"How do you get along? Let Hongu learn Nawu someone to lead the horse for them? Or follow them like house slaves, calling them Goro Rokuro? ”

"The subordinate did not mean this, the subordinate just reminded His Royal Highness that now the Zhang brothers are very capable of controlling His Majesty's mind, two months ago, it was difficult for the princess to see His Majesty alone, that Zhang Changzong never left His Majesty, and even the draft was written by their brother! If it weren't for the family feast, how could the princess have a separate contact with His Majesty? ”

"Yes, even Shangguan Wan'er has retreated." Shen Mengxi waved his hand, "No matter, I want to go to Chang'an, out of sight and out of mind." ”

"Your Highness, in fact, now is the time to deal with the assassination case back then."

"Oh?"

"King Luling has returned, the Li family has been taken seriously, and Lai Junchen has been restless. The evidence in the hands of the subordinates, if they unite with Di Gong, should be able to bring down Lai Junchen and Wu Chenghe......"

"This matter must be hit with one blow, let me think about it again, and wait and see the third brother and the fourth brother, don't worry. Chang'an continues to prepare and set off at any time. ”

An azure figure suddenly pushed the door in, startling Shen Mengxi, stretched out his hand and slapped the alarm bell, Shen Qi, Shen Fifteen, and Shen Sixteen all appeared quickly and captured the comer.

"Princess! It's me! "It turned out to be Yan Jikang.

"Tsk! Why didn't you even report it, kid? I almost shot you with one shot! Shen Mengxi put his hand behind his back, put the pistol back in the Wuling space, and put his hand back in front of him, asking Shen Qi and them to retreat.

Commander Lu and Yan Jikang didn't understand what "a shot collapsed", but they consciously didn't ask.

Yan Jikang hurriedly saluted, "Your Highness, when His Highness said that he wanted Twelve to do two things, Twelve was willing to smear His Highness's liver and brain, and never hesitate!" ”

"Heh, how much have you heard?" Shen Mengxi pointed to the guard guarding the door again and said, "You, go get twenty boards." ”

Yan Jikang hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, Twelve won't let him report, if you want to fight, hit Twelve!" ”

"He dereliction of duty, he should be punished!" Shen Mengxi was undoubted and said resolutely. The guard had already saluted and gone to get the board.

"Your Highness! Why don't you send Twelve to the palace! Twelve: I wish to be the face of His Majesty! Make an internal response to His Highness, and Twelve will do his best to make His Majesty like Twelve! Yan Jikang suddenly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes.

He listened to Cui Shibai talk about Zhang Changzong, and learned that His Majesty was obedient to their brothers, so he thought that if he also made a face, he would find a way to let His Majesty kill Lai Junchen and avenge the extermination of the clan.

"You want to avenge your people, do you?" Shen Mengxi asked coldly.

"Yes!" Yan Jikang kowtowed and said yes.

"Heh, look at you, you are obviously avenging yourself, but you are saying that you will make an internal response for me." Shen Mengxi smiled, his voice cold, "Yan Jikang! In order to save you, this palace 'raised a face head', and now, you want to take revenge, and you want this palace to dedicate your 'face head' to Your Majesty! Ha! You want a daughter to give her mother's face! How did you open your mouth to say that? Shen Mengxi stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Jikang, and his voice became more and more serious.

Yan Jikang looked remorseful and kowtowed, "Twelve is wrong!" ”

"Before your father died, he shouted to you, 'Live well!'. Go back, and if you dare to mention the matter again, I will kill you! ”

Yan Jikang has been deeply favored by his elders since he was a child, he is very simple, his family is in trouble, and he has been locked up in the backyard of the princess's mansion. He covered his face, knelt on the ground and cried for a while, but still left.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, Yan Langjun must have felt that the limelight has changed recently, and there is some hope, so he is anxious, after so many years ago, didn't he also stay up with peace of mind."

"yes, don't you stay up for all?" Shen Mengxi smiled bitterly.

"You say, Yan Twelve is like this, if he enters the palace, can he survive for three days?" Shen Mengxi suddenly asked Commander Lu.

Commander Lu was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

I don't know if I mean I can't or I don't know.

******

Before Shen Mengxi could submit the evidence collated, there was news that Junchen reported that Li Xian, Li Dan, and Princess Taiping's brothers and sisters colluded with the North and South to rebel.

Shen Mengxi entered the palace for the first time, but was stopped by Zhang Changzong outside the palace, "Last night, the wind was strong, and the windows of the dormitory were noisy, and Your Majesty was not sleeping well. ”

Shen Mengxi looked at Zhang Changzong, who was smeared with grease and powder, and said lightly: "It's okay, the palace is standing in front of the door of the dormitory and waiting, when will A-Niang wake up, and when will the palace enter the palace again." ”

Zhang Changzong bowed, "It's okay." He smiled and entered the dormitory.
