Tai Chi Temple.

At the end of the daily pilgrimage meeting, the crown crown ceremony will be held.

Li Er's energy was haggard, and he felt that his body was getting worse, but he couldn't stop to rest, and the matter of Longyou Dao was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, so he had to grit his teeth and insist, and set the position of the prince in case of emergency.

Looking at Li Zhi standing still below, although he was still very immature, his demeanor was obviously a little calmer than before, a little bit like when he was young, and he became more and more satisfied, and he couldn't help but think of the good memories of fighting the world and fighting the country, and his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the Guogong.

Suddenly, Li Er found a problem, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong did not come, which was unreasonable, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and swept away familiar faces one by one, but there were no three people.

Li Er was shocked in his heart, motioned for Wang De to come closer, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you see Duke Wei, Duke Lu and Duke E going to court?" ”

"Back to the saint, the old slave sent someone to the Eguo Mansion to inform him, and the Eguo Gong said that those who are idle will not participate in political affairs, so as not to be chewed up."

Li Er interrupted: "Still stubborn, still so straightforward, what about the other two?" ”

"Wei Guogong said that he was sick, and when the old slave went to deliver the decree, he happened to see a doctor inquiring, saying that he was infected with a cold, and it was recommended not to go out, so as not to infect others, Lu Guogong agreed very well, why didn't the old slave come is not clear." Wang De explained in a low voice, he actually had an answer in his heart, and he was shocked, and he actually let the three princes abandon everything to follow, this Han King is so charming.

Li Er was suspicious, it is understandable that Wei Chigong did not come, that guy is a violent temper, he doesn't ask about political affairs after he is idle at home, it is estimated that he has a fire in his belly, and it is understandable that Wei Guogong is infected with a cold and does not come, Cheng Yanjin is back in charge of the Nan Yasi, why not come?

"Send someone to the South Yasi to ask."

"Yes!" Wang De bowed back a few steps and left in a hurry.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the failure of a Cheng to bite the gold does not affect the coronation ceremony.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally came out to preside over the ceremony, and after a set of cumbersome processes, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, became the crown prince and moved into the East Palace to live, becoming the only legal heir.

If the crown prince is certain, many disputes will disappear, and if you don't accept it, you can only start in secret.

If there are fewer disputes, the imperial court will be able to free up its hands to go all out to resist the attack of Tubo, Li Er is well versed in this way, otherwise he would not have set up a prince in such a hurry.

After the coronation, the inquirers also returned.

Wang De went out to listen for a while, hurriedly returned to the imperial eucalyptus, and said in a low voice: "Shengshang, I have inquired clearly, there is no one in the Nanyasi, they all said that they didn't go today, and there is no one in the house, and they asked the neighbors around, and they all said that they didn't know when they left." ”

"What?" Li Er looked confused, how could a good person disappear?

Wang De hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Shengshang, there is another thing, Princess Yuzhang tried to leave the palace, but was discovered by the secret guards, stopped, and asked the reason, Princess Yuzhang did not say a word, and has returned to the harem. ”

Li Er realized that something was wrong, Cheng Yanjin's family disappeared for no reason, Yu Zhang also wanted to leave the palace, and Wei Chigong and Li Jing didn't come to watch the ceremony, what happened behind the fall to the ground?

Suddenly, Li Er guessed something, his face changed greatly, and he advised: "Quick, send someone to the Weiguo Mansion and the Hubei Mansion to check the situation, and report it quickly." ”

"Yes." Wang De hurried to make arrangements.

Li Er was not interested in continuing the court, but fortunately, after the coronation ceremony, he hurriedly said a few words and announced his retreat from the court, signaled Li Zhi to follow, and went straight to the harem.

On the way, Li Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Father, but what happened?" ”

"Duke Weiguo, Duke E and Duke Lu have not yet gone to court, Yuzhang is going out of the palace, I suspect that there is something behind it." Li Er's face was gloomy and a little terrifying, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.

If the suspicion comes true, doesn't it mean that he is not as attractive as a courtier?

When I came to an elegant courtyard in the harem, someone had already gone in to report.

Yu Zhang came out to greet him, followed by Princess Jinyang, and the two saluted: "Erchen has seen his father!" ”

"Say, why did you leave the palace today?" Li Er got straight to the point and was angry.

Yu Zhang was mentally prepared, and hurriedly said: "Back to my father, my son wanted to go to Dongshi to buy some women's products, but was stopped for no reason. ”

"This ......" Li Er was a little speechless, and his old face was slightly red.

Jin Yang took a step forward and asked, "Father, is something wrong, it's dangerous outside?" Then the imperial sister and I don't go out of the palace, it's just that this woman's things are too private, and it's not good to hand them over to others, and the queen mother is not there, what should I do in the future? Please also ask for your understanding. ”

The queen died, Li Er was busy with political affairs, Jinyang and Yuzhang depended on each other, now that they are older, some privacy can only come forward by themselves, no one does it for them, Li Er realized that he was derelict in his duties, other princesses have a queen mother to worry about, this Yuzhang and Jinyang are not loved, and it is reasonable to buy private items by themselves.

After thinking about it, Li Er said: "Recently, it has been unsafe in Chang'an City, so it is necessary to let the maid do it for you." ”

"This ...... Some things are only convenient if you go by yourself. Yu Zhang insisted.

"Not allowed!" Li Eryi flicked his sleeves and left.

Yu Zhang watched Li Er and King Jin walk away, stroked his heart, and said with a sad face: "Son, what can I do about this?" If I didn't rush there, he would definitely think that I didn't agree to the marriage and wouldn't want me anymore. ”

"Don't panic, let Xiao'e go out of the palace in the name of purchasing, rush to find it, explain the situation, and wait for Ansheng in the future, let's quietly leave the palace and go to Hanzhou to train him." Princess Jinyang proposed in a low voice.

As soon as Yu Zhang heard that it made sense, he hurriedly called his personal maid Xiao'e to advise.

Xiao'e promised to leave in a hurry.

Li Er took Li Zhi, the king of Jin, back to the Ganlu Palace, and soon after he sat down, Wang De hurried over: "Shengshang, it's not good, something happened, the gates of the Weiguo Mansion and the Hubei Mansion are also closed, and people go to the mansion empty, and they don't know where to go." ”

"It must have been west." Li Er said angrily, a wave of loneliness came up, the brothers who used to be brothers in life and death, but now they have abandoned them, why?

"Am I not generous enough?"

"Still can't I give you what you want?"

Think about it carefully, you are generous enough, but you really can't give what you want, the merit is high, and then you can only give it to your own buttocks, but if you can't give it yourself, King Han can give it?

No way!

Thinking of this, Li Er said coldly: "The three princes must have followed the king of Han, no wonder the king of Han didn't come to watch the ceremony today, he must have left today, he kept it a secret, Wang De, you go for me, and ask the king of Han why he is unwilling to take command of the expedition?" Ask why the three princes abandoned me like a shoe, and didn't want any love back then? ”

"Yes!" Wang De agreed and left in a hurry.

……

On the official road.

Qin Huaidao was a little stunned when he saw Cheng Biting Jin who suddenly appeared, just forget about a Wei Guogong, he said it in advance, what happened to Cheng Biting Jin running out this time? Hurriedly hit the horse to catch up: "Uncle Cheng, why are you here?" ”

"You doll, talk nonsense, Lao Tzu's sons followed you, and now even his daughter is coming over, what is it to leave Lao Tzu alone in Chang'an? In case it's gone, and you don't even have a send-off person by your side, why, don't you want to take care of the meal? Cheng Yanjin asked angrily.

Qin Huaidao's heart warmed, and he hurriedly said: "Manage, you must manage, it's just that in the bitter cold land, it's hard for you." ”

"Bitter cold fart, cattle and sheep are good enough to manage wine, Lao Tzu is not unable to get on the horse, he can't lift the knife, he can't lose you." Cheng Yanjin said nonchalantly.

Li Jing urged him to step forward and said with a smile: "You are a killer, you are not afraid that the one in the court will beat you?" ”

"me, there is a kind of coming to Hanzhou to find me, saying that if you dismiss the official, you will be dismissed, and if you say that you will be reinstated, I don't want to lose face, besides, you old boy dare to go to the battlefield, can you do it without my protection?" Cheng Yanjin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha, good brother, you and I are just like back then, killing him and running away in a hurry, but it's a pity that Brother Wei Chi is not there." Li Jing said excitedly, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he thought of the heroic deeds of the past, and he couldn't help but be proud and proud.

"That's right, what about Wei Chi's old killer?"

"I don't know, you ask him." Li Jing pointed at Qin Huaidao.

"Don't ask, it's at sea." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"At sea, fight the Japanese country?" Cheng Yanjin reacted quickly, couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said with a smile: "You kid has such a deep layout? Yes, yes, then the old man will rest assured. ”

"Hahaha!"

The three of them smiled knowingly, and everything was silent.

The large army continued on their way, and everyone talked about the war as they walked.

It didn't take long for Wang De to chase after him, looking at the laughter of the crowd and feeling bitter in his heart, he stubbornly said Li Er's question, Qin Huaidao was happy when he heard it, why didn't he want to take command and go on the expedition without forcing him? said unceremoniously: "Princess, help me ask the saint a word, why should I go out for him?" ”

"This ......" Wang De didn't dare to answer.

Li Jing's face sank, and he said, "Also help me ask the saint a word, what about the oath of the year?" The old man's long-cherished wish in his life only wants to sweep the world and lay down a big territory, and he wants nothing else, why not? ”

"And me." Cheng Yanjin also said with a straight face: "Lao Tzu has carried so many black cauldrons for the saint and blocked so many knives, why do you say that you will be dismissed?" I don't want to lose face? Since the moment of dismissal, there is not much left, rather than looking at each other and hating each other, it is better to let each other go and go their separate ways. ”

"This ......"

Wang De didn't expect the two princes to be so rigid, he didn't dare to answer, he looked at Qin Huai and said: "King Han, on the way here, I met Princess Yuzhang's personal maid Xiao'e who was stopped by the city gate guards, our family learned about the situation, and promised to pass the word on behalf of her, saying that Princess Yuzhang was stopped by the saint and could not leave the palace, and she must go to Hanzhou to find you after the spring blossoms." ”

"Thank you for the princess's words, tell the princess for me, live well, and there will always be a place for her by my side." Qin Huaidao saluted solemnly, and suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder he hadn't caught up for so long.

"Be sure to bring it, King Han is good!"

Wang De returned the salute and hurried back with the guards.

Qin Huaidao didn't expect Yu Zhang to be so strong and persistent, and he didn't expect Li Er to intercept so resolutely, a shadow flashed in his mind, he smiled, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, go-"

"Drive!"

The army kicked in again, rolling forward.
