In the spring of the second year of Shangyuan, it was Prince Zhang Huai who was canonized because he succeeded his brother Li Xian, who died suddenly of illness, and became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Sometimes fate seems to be foreshadowed.

Prince Zhang Huai has a talent for governing the country, and soon won the support of the government and the opposition, even Emperor Gaozong also looked at his son very differently. Such a virtuous prince died tragically in exile in Bazhou, but it took less than 14 years.

Jing Wan'er cleaned Pei Tan's study, and after serving him to change clothes, she came to the courtyard with a kettle.

"Miss Jing," a jailer politely stopped Jing Wan'er, "There was a woman at the door just now, saying that you know Miss Jing and want to see her." ”

Because Jing Wan'er has been by Pei Tan's side, the other people in Dali Temple are quite polite to her.

The so-called dog beating depends on the owner, who has not yet seen three points of vision.

"The woman I know?" Jing Wan'er's eyes flashed.

Following the jailer to the gate, there was a woman dressed in obvious clothes,

The woman with the hood on her head was waiting there.

The woman's eyes flickered faintly through the white veil on the hat, and as soon as she touched these eyes, Jing Wan'er's expression was a little deep

Jing Wan'er turned around and said softly to the jailer: "I have to go out in advance, if the adults look for me, just say that I will go and go back." ”

With that, Jing Wan'er turned around and glanced at the woman in the hat, and the two left Dali Temple together.

Stopping in front of a restaurant, Jing Wan'er looked at the woman in the hat and motioned for the woman to go in?

The woman was speechless, as if acquiescing.

When she entered the restaurant, a guy immediately greeted her, and before she could speak, Jing Wan'er stuffed the guy with a piece of silver and asked for a private room on the second floor.

The man saw that it were two girls, and led them very kindly to the quietest room at the end.

"What is the command to rattle the bell to call the villain."

Jing Wan'er said, "Don't let idlers get close here. ”

The guy has seen a lot of knowledge in this Chang'an City, and he is very surprised, "Understood, girl." ”

The door of the private room was closed, and Jing Wan'er looked at the girl: "You."

The veil can be taken off. ”

The woman seemed to be a little nervous at this time, and took off the hat from her face with a trembling voice.

The woman is not young anymore, but the charm can still be seen between her eyebrows.

"Miss Jing." She looked at Jing Wan'er.

Jing Wan'er pulled out a chair in front of her: "Sit down." ”

The woman was still a little apprehensive, and when Jing Wan'er sat down, she slowly sat down opposite.

Jing Wan'er didn't want to beat around the bush, and she also knew that the woman opposite probably didn't want to stay longer, so she said, "It seems that you are doing well." Congratulations. ”

The woman's face was moved: "It's all because of the girl." ”

Jing Wan'er lifted the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water for herself and the woman.

"About the adult—" The woman stared at the water in the cup before finally speaking.

Jing Wan'er also looked at her: "What happened between the Lord and Guanglu Siqing?" ”

can make Pei Tan appear strange continuously, Jing Wan'er can't convince herself to sit

Ignore it.

The incident happened yesterday, Pei Tan suddenly appeared in Dali Temple, who had not met for a long time, and then there was the appearance of the posthumous son of Prince Zhang Huai.

The woman's eyes rolled: "That lord, I'm about to get married." ”

Jing Wan'er's eyelids jumped: "What? "It's completely subconscious astonishment.

The woman's voice was soft: "Lin Lang heard it with his own ears, when the eunuch announced the decree, he didn't seem to shy away from others, Lin Lang intended to sell cooking cakes on the street next door, and clearly heard what the eunuch said, the person who Master Pei was about to marry was the daughter of the Guanglu Siqing in your mouth, Miss Jing." ”

Jing Wan'er paused and didn't speak, and the one who asked Pei Tan to enter the palace late at night was actually a marriage decree.

The woman looked at Jing Wan'er, and suddenly said with some meaning: "Girl, there is a sentence that a slave doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at her.

The woman lowered her eyes slightly: "The slave thinks that the girl still has a plan for herself, once the master of the temple marries a wife, the girl's status in Dali Temple will be in jeopardy." ”

Jing Wan'er suddenly smiled: "How can an adult marry a wife, how can it have anything to do with me?" ”

The woman's eyes flashed and she looked at Jing Wan'er: "Once there is the distraction of others, how can that adult treat the girl wholeheartedly?" It's because the girl should take advantage of..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Jing Wan'er's voice was a little somber.

The woman on the other side suddenly stopped.

Seemingly a little uneasy, the woman picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.

At this time, Jing Wan'er said: "I am just temporarily avoiding Dali Temple, and I will leave sooner or later." ”

The woman glanced at Jing Wan'er carefully. "It's good that the girl still has this heart, we are never ordinary women, every day is stepping on a tightrope, and I don't know which day it will be..."

There is only one reason why they are still in Chang'an, that is, they are originally "ghosts" with no identity in this Chang'an City, and they can usually hide from being discovered, but because they don't have an upright identity, they can't get out of Chang'an City at all.

Jing Wan'er looked at the woman's trembling appearance and thought for a moment: "

The abbot of Qinglong Temple is dead, and you don't have to worry about someone finding out about you and retaliating against you. ”

The woman's nervous mood relaxed slightly. There are also some people who have no relatives in this world, even if they leave Chang'an, how can they survive, it is better to rely on the only few appearances, at least in Chang'an, they can always eat.

It was the woman in front of her and her "accomplices" who reported to Jing Wan'er in Qinglong Temple, who were also rescued by Jing Wan'er, if there was no warning from them, Jing Wan'er might not have known to be wary of that group of monks, and the carrier pigeon they sent her a message that night was the one that died tragically in the hands of Xuantai, who assassinated Pei Tan.

Now thinking about how many times Qinglong Temple has narrowly escaped death, Jing Wan'er can't help but leave her own weight.

The woman seemed to be a little bolder, such as saying: "Also, I heard from the sisters in the palace that Guanglu Siqing once entered the palace to ask to see Empress Wei's mother." ”

Then this marriage was instigated by Empress Wei behind her back, Jing Wan'er's eyes were a little deep: "I want to know more, how did they target adults." ”

Guanglu Temple Qing Li Shouli, starting from his father Prince Zhang Huai, the family is full of bad luck. It was from the second time that Zhongzong was proclaimed to the throne, and they

's situation has improved.

And Guanglu Siqing's closeness to Empress Wei seems to be expected.

Jing Wan'er looked at the woman: "You leave first, I won't get rid of it with you, so as not to make people suspicious." ”

The woman nodded, bowed her head and put on her hat, and got up and left the private room.

Jing Wan'er sat for a while before leaving.

Pei Tan saw Jing Wan'er come back, although Dali Temple had not restricted her freedom, but Jing Wan'er has always rarely gone out, and she has only seen her when she goes out like this for most of the day.

"What are you looking at?" On Pei Tan's desk, there was a pile of files more than half a foot thick.

Pei Tan instructed Master Xing to transfer the files of Dali Temple many years ago from the treasury.

"All criminal cases in Datang will be filed in Dali Temple, starting from the founding of Datang, except for the years when the imperial court was stagnant in the middle, almost all major and important cases can be found in the files of Dali Temple." Therefore, the place of Dali Temple has suppressed the darkness of the Tang Dynasty in those years.

Whoever becomes the secretary of Dali Temple is equivalent to bearing all these gloomy things

Past.

If you were the Son of Heaven, what kind of person would you let take over such a position.

Jing Wan'er's eyes flickered, "What are you looking for, my lord?" ”

She walked to Pei Tan's side, this was only a small part of the case file, and she didn't even know what year Pei Tan was transferring.

Thinking that Pei Tan was going to marry a wife, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er and said for a moment: "Stayed up all night yesterday, don't you rest?" ”

Jing Wan'er smiled: "Aren't adults the same?" ”

Looking at Pei Tan's appearance, he was already ready to deal with official business.

Pei Tan didn't ask Jing Wan'er what she was doing when she went out, but Jing Wan'er pretended to be worried in her heart, until she accidentally caught a glimpse of the file in front of Pei Tan that read, "Bazhou Zhanghuai Prince Cemetery..."

Jing Wan'er's breath paused.

Pei Tan is looking at Prince Zhang Huai's case!?

Jing Wan'er's heart shook slightly, why did Pei Tan look at Prince Zhang Huai's case at this time, this time was too sensitive. Could it be the cause?

For "marriage"?

Pei Tan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows with one hand.

The information spread out on the table, Jing Wan'er glimpsed it like this, Pei Tan really didn't shy away from her.

"Everybody said that Prince Zhang Huai committed suicide," Pei Tan said, "but at that time, people only saw the prince's body being carried out." ”

He said that he had committed suicide to the prince's corpse, but the dead prince could no longer refute it.

Jing Wan'er's mind was racing, and she had an intuition that there must be some other relationship between Pei Tan and Prince Zhang Huai.

And Guan Pei Tan's look seems to prove this.

With Pei Tan's background, he can choose any idle and wealthy official position, Zhongzong was restored to the throne for the second time, and the court pattern was unprecedentedly turbulent.

It can be said that Zhongzong chose Pei Tan, but what is the reason... may be the reason why Pei Tan accepted the seal of Dali Temple.

Jing Wan'er's eyes rolled, Prince Zhang Huai's year was too far away from her, and the information she had on hand about Prince Zhang Huai was limited, so she could only speculate

。

"Now there are still many people in Datang who think that Prince Zhang Huai did commit the crime of rebellion back then."

Pei Tan and Jing Wan'er looked at each other, and she said: "But back then, when they were opposed to the Queen of Heaven, everyone was accused of rebellion. “

True and false are contradictory, true and false are smokescreens.

As soon as Zhongzong ascended the throne, he pardoned the descendants of his own brother and took them back to Chang'an, which is enough to show that Zhongzong, as the son of the Queen of Heaven, was also persecuted at that time.

The people who forced Prince Zhang Huai to death back then, whether it was the cool official Qiu Shenqi or the former high queen, have all been buried in the ground. But sometimes those who die unjustly do not necessarily find rest.
