The imperial city is extremely majestic, the most powerful places are only three, and the center of the right to go inside is the Taihe Palace, and there is no woman in the palace who does not want to climb the dragon bed of the Taihe Palace.

The closest palace to Taihe Palace, Chonghua Palace, is extremely luxurious, the side hall is soft, the beautiful woman in the yellow phoenix robe is lying horizontally, and the palace maid on the calf is carefully beating her legs. The weather was not very hot, the palace maid added a spice to the incense burner, the fragrance was overflowing, the beautiful woman turned around, and the palace maid hammered the other leg.

Father-in-law Li, the personal eunuch, came in from outside, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, and reported: "Niangniang, Lou Yue has replied." ”

Lou Lanchun's eyes were finally willing to open, and her lazy appearance was indescribably charming, even if she was forty years old this year, she was vaguely charming, which showed how charming she was when she was young.

Lou Lanchun stretched out his hand, and Gonggong Li put the letter up, and the letter said that Lou Xuewei, the princess of Lou Yue, would be in Kyoto in ten days.

Lou Yue is a neighbor of the Great Zhou, among these countries, only the Great Zhou occupies the largest area, before Li Ji ascended the throne, Lou Lanchun relied on the good strength of the mother country, and also made a lot of efforts.

The handwriting on it was written by Lou Yunying, the emperor of Lou Yue, Lou Lanchun handed the letter to Gonggong Li again, Gonggong Li turned around and burned the letter, Lou Lanchun asked, "Does the prince know?" ”

Li Gonggong said: "The slave is waiting for the queen's mother to give an order." ”

Lou Lanchun nodded and said: "Go, tell the prince, let Shen Fengjun get closer to Xue Wei, Xue Wei has always been obedient and well-behaved, this palace hopes that she will marry Li Zhengyan, and pull that Li Zhengyan into the palace, with such a Shenwu general, Rin'er's position as the crown prince can be more stable." ”

"Minions, let's go." Father-in-law Li said that his feet did not move, and he didn't know where to start.

Lou Lanchun hated people like this the most, she took her legs and looked impatient, so frightened that the palace maid who beat her legs turned pale and immediately knelt on the ground, thinking that she had a hammer pain.

Lou Lanchun said: "If there is anything else, tell me quickly." ”

Gonggong Li bowed and saluted, got closer and closer, and whispered beside Lou Lanchun: "Your Majesty, you didn't mention the matter of giving marriage at all, and you didn't say anything about it when you put it aside." ”

"What did the people in front of the emperor say?" Lou Lanchun frowned slightly, her face full of gloom.

Gonggong Li sighed, "The mouth of the emperor is the tightest, it's useless to be a slave, and I didn't inquire about anything." ”

"I don't blame you." Lou Lanchun waved his hand and let Gonggong Li go down, it should be in Li Ji's heart of defense, since he became the emperor, he didn't have anything to say to her.

Fortunately, the prince has always been fierce and has never changed.

Lou Lan Chun's onion fingers moved lightly, and the personal female official immediately stepped forward, bent down and attached her ears, only to hear Lou Lan Chun's instructions: "Ask the people below, have the officials of the household department and the ministry been selected." ”

"Slave and maid go now." The maid withdrew.

In the Li family barracks, the nine brothers who followed Li Zhengyan all rose to one position, and several of them were born in the rivers and lakes, and the original army had a lot to do with the lack of rations at home, but fortunately, Li Zhengyan took them in, followed the Li family army to birth and death, and now they are also mixed with an official and a half-position.

There was a weak scholar in the barracks, dressed in a brocade robe, and even the soldiers threw a few glances at him, and the soldiers guarding the tent outside saw it and were about to go in to report, but the man raised his hand to stop and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just go in by myself." ”

The curtain was raised, the weak scholar shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, the smile on the corner of his lips was extremely handsome, Qin Xuning said: "I'm still wondering, if I don't come, will you not come to me." ”

Several people clasped their fists, Dou Wende was the first to speak, and several people shouted with Dou Wende: "Lord Qin." ”

Li Zhengyan's face was full of disgust, and he said, "Why are you here?" I can't carry it on my shoulders and I can't carry it with my hands, just right, I still have hundreds of stones of rice to move, do you want to make efforts to carry it. ”

The brothers snickered, lifted the curtain and went out, Dou Wende patted Qin Xuning's shoulder with one hand, very sorry, "You...... Let's go down first. ”

Qin Xuning snorted, picked up a stool with a fan and sat down, and asked, "Alas, you said earlier that you had something to ask me, what is the matter, always hold me back, and if I run away, you won't have a chance." ”

"You ran away? Kyoto is here, your mansion is here, and where else can you run. Li Zhengyan sat down on the stool next to Qin Xuning, and he was already a little sure in his heart.

"The candidate to go to Tugu has been decided, and he will leave tomorrow, and the emperor will announce it in the morning tomorrow, this time and again, it will probably take less than a month, if you don't tell me, I won't admit this matter." Qin Xuning's head twisted slightly, and he turned around very arrogantly.

Li Zhengyan smiled and said, "There is really something, you take people away tonight and send them back tomorrow." ”

"People? There is no shortage of people to eat in my house, you can arrange for a random person to come in, eat my rice, live in my land, and you won't compensate me? Qin Xuning said with a smile, refusing to suffer a loss at all.

Li Zhengyan smiled gloomily: "Of course, this is a big gift. ”

After that, Li Zhengyan led Qin Xuning back to the General's Mansion, the distance between the Qin Mansion and the Li Mansion is separated by a street, which is very close, if someone dares to swagger into the General's Mansion, and then swagger out, this person is only Qin Xuning, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

On the carriage, Qin Xuning deliberately mentioned: "This time, there is also the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chao Sheng, except for me and him, who are familiar with you and acquaintance, the other two are Shen Tianyun's people." ”

Up and down the government and the opposition, Shen Tianyun, as the future uncle of the country, there are not a few people who befriend him, except for some Qing officials or nobles like Qin Xuning, there are many people who befriend Shen Tianyun.

Qin Xuning said: "This time, Chao Sheng and I must go early and return early." ”

"Come back slowly." Li Zhengyan said deliberately.

Qin Xuning was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

The officials manage the big and small officials, this news, the emperor only told him alone, and has not officially notified the officials to go down, whether it will be successful or not, it is still unknown, Li Zhengyan said: "The emperor wants to help me be the prime minister of the left." ”

"What!" Qin Xuning was shocked, he didn't even dare to digest this news, although Li Zhengyan had high merit, it was more than enough to be a prime minister according to his merits and abilities, but Li Zhengyan was a military attaché, such an approach was unprecedented!

Qin Xuning said: "After the violent death of Prime Minister Zuo five years ago, the position of Prime Minister Zuo has been empty for five years, and Prime Minister Right has been alone since then......"

There is no one who can balance Shen Tianyun's people, and Shen Tianyun has been flying into the sky since then.

Li Zhengyan couldn't see the joy and anger clearly under the mask, his closed eyes seemed to be contemplative, his thin lips were pursed, Qin Xuning suddenly thought about it, and asked, "Actually, there is something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. ”

"Ask." Li Zhengyan opened his eyes slightly.

Qin Xuning said: "Can you be the prime minister of Zuo...... Actually, you are the illegitimate son of the emperor. ”

"Get out of ......," Li Zhengyan roared.

Qin Xuning continued to smile: "Do you remember the ...... on the shore of Daming Lake back then?"
