The slanting sun of the Golden Light Gate casts down from the top of the hanging mountain, forming a long shadow on the ground, and the thirteen doors on the city tower are tightly closed, and the vermilion dougong shows a majestic atmosphere.

After passing through the doorway, you can see the people coming and going on the side street, caravan camels are not uncommon, the nobles are dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses and go out of the city, all kinds of chariots, ink carts and pallet carts are walking on the two-way avenue under the traction of horses, the merchant carries the burden and sells goods, the man who sells dates pulls the service cart, and the woman wearing a hat leads the child from the canal along the fang wall and walks slowly.

They only passed through a few squares, the majestic imperial city has appeared in Li Chongyun's sight, from the side of Hanguang, Vermilion Bird, Anshang three towers seem to overlap together, the eaves of the high eaves of the top of the heavy eaves of the palace are scattered in the top of the mountain, the beauty and solemnity of the level has also come to the face,

Li Chongyun's childlike heart was still unsettled, and he put aside his worries before coming to Chang'an, and looked left and right on the horse with great interest, eager to take all the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City into his eyes.

"It is worthy of being the imperial capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is really prosperous, I thought that Wuwei City was big enough, but compared to Chang'an, it is like a small city in the middle of nowhere."

Yu Chaoen shook his head on the horse and asked with a smile: "Childe has never been to Chang'an?" ”

"Never, my father has been traveling for many years, taking our brothers and sisters from Shule to Tingzhou, then to Qiuzi, and then to Wuwei, which is considered to have run all over Longyou Road, but he has never been to Chang'an, which is really regrettable."

"Then, the son is blessed now, when you settle down after seeing the two fathers-in-law, the slave will arrange a follower for you, so that you can travel all over the scenery and scenic spots of Chang'an City, taste the food in the West Market, see all the songs and dances in Pingkangfang, and read the sparkling waves of Qujiang Pond."

Li Chongyun imitated the posture of an adult and arched his hand: "So? Chongyun is respectful, it is better to obey his fate? Thank you for being so loving. ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say."

The horse team is about to arrive at Yansubo through the West Market? A horse-drawn carriage on the street? He stopped waiting for the horse caravan to march. The owner of the car lifted the curtain from the carriage and saw the young man on the horse riding side by side with the eunuch Yu Chaoen? He was followed by a large retinue and soldiers. Then he instructed a little eunuch who was walking behind the car: "Go, inquire?" Whose son is this so magnificent? ”

"Huh?" The little eunuch staggered forward, pulled a certain eunuch who accompanied him to say a few words, and then hurriedly turned back, bowed in front of the carriage and said, "Qiyu godfather? This is the eldest son of Li Siye, the king of Xiliang County? He was ordered by His Majesty to enter Beijing and grant marriage. ”

After hearing this, the master nodded, stared at the young man on the horse with wide triangular eyes for a long time, and then smiled and stroked his palm: "It's really a strange thing to live in." ”

He threw down the curtain and retreated to the carriage, and said to the driver: "Turn around, don't go buy books?" Back to the palace of the Sixteen Princes. ”

……

The original Sixteen Princes' Mansion is now the Prince's Palace, and all the building facilities in it have not been repaired? It looks old and cramped, as if to show the prince's simple style.

Is spring good today? The crown prince Li Heng moved a stationery case under the corridor of the main hall, and he could express his feelings through the scenery outside the corridor.

Eunuch Li Jingzhong walked into the corridor? Seeing Li Heng coughing in the spring breeze? Said distressedly: "Why didn't Your Highness come out and wear more of a big coat?" These boys are so damn so ignorant! ”

The two eunuchs standing under the corridor hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Slaves and maids should die."

Li Heng pinched his handkerchief and covered the corners of his lips and said, "You don't have to scold them, this is a lonely whim, so I moved the stationery to the outer room." ”

Li Jingzhong was still angry, and ordered: "Why don't you quickly get the white wolf skin that Dr. Li gave last year!" ”

"Ah," the little eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground and ran into the hall, and after a moment he held a thick stack of furs in both hands. Li Jingzhong snatched it from him, shook it and draped it on Li Heng's shoulder.

Li Heng opened the book and continued to read, looked up at Li Jingzhong, who was standing in front of him, and said, "I said a long time ago, you don't have to take care of yourself, go about your own business." ”

"Can I rest assured that I don't take care of me? It wasn't long before I was there that they broke out of such a big basket. I know that Your Highness has always been frail, but you can't take care of it carefully. ”

Li Heng smiled helplessly: "Okay, whatever you want." ”

Li Jingzhong then stood aside with a dusty hand in his hand, and said casually, seemingly casually: "Your Highness, do you know who the slave saw on the street today?" ”

"Oh." Li Heng looked up and answered, but he was not very interested.

He had no choice but to bend down and said mysteriously: "I saw Li Siye's eldest son in front of Jinguangmen Street today and was picked up by the eunuchs in the palace to Chang'an. ”

This matter is not unusual, Gu has known for a long time, Aya listened to Yang Guozhong's slander, and led An Qingzong, the son of An Lushan, and Li Chongyun, the son of Li Siye, to Jingshi, named Marriage and Conferring Officials, but they were actually hostages. The fact that such a last resort can be taken is enough to show that the prime minister has begun to fear the power of the two. ”

Li Jingzhong followed closely and said: "The slave maid heard that the son of Li Siye has just turned thirteen years old, and the sage wants to marry the daughter of Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and the lord of Yijun. This is really blind to the military power in the hands of Li Siye, his son married the daughter of King Sheng, how can it help King Sheng? At most, there is one more relative who dominates Longyou. But if Your Highness, you and Li Siye form a family, and when you are ready to ascend the throne in the future, you will not only have such a stable backer as Shuofang Lingwu behind you, but also the heritage of the entire Longyou Road, and the pepper trade route that seeks millions of huge profits every year, and the military power and money in your hands, why should Your Majesty worry about the unstable foundation? ”

Li Heng waved his hand at him again and again: "I understand what you mean, but don't expect to fantasize, my father guards me like a thief, how can I marry a powerful minister." What's more, Li Siye is in Longyou, and his father is still trying his best to maintain it. The twenty-first brother was the most mediocre among the kings, so Aya chose to marry his daughter and Lord Yi to the son of Li Siye. If I want to marry Li Siye, I will never have this opportunity. ”

"Your Highness, you can fight for the opportunity." Li Jingzhong stepped forward and persuaded: "I think that Li Chongyun is still young, and the Holy Order to summon him to Beijing is not a sincere marriage, but Yang Guozhong left him in Beijing to hold Li Siye hostage. His Royal Highness can first use money to befriend Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and send someone to persuade him to take the initiative to show His Majesty and refuse to marry his daughter to Li Chongyun. Then he bribed the general Gao Lishi to persuade the saint not to give any county lord to Li Chongyun for the time being. ”

"Besides, this son is still young, and His Majesty will definitely not be too careful. Now that Your Highness has the eighth daughter of Yonghe County Lord Fang Twelve, and the difference between her and that Li Chongyun is only one year old, Your Highness can make plans early and create opportunities for them to get acquainted. Although the county lord is young, but the beauty of the appearance has begun to appear, it will be able to cause Li Chongyun to have feelings, this matter needs to be slowly polished, and the water will flow for a long time, and when the time is right, His Royal Highness will bring the marriage of the two to the surface, and then His Royal Highness and Li Siye will have an in-law, and the foundation will naturally be more stable. ”

Li Heng was a little angry in his stomach, raised two fingers and pointed at Li Jingzhong and said, "Okay, you Li Jingzhong, you want your lonely daughter to seduce Li Siye's son, you are so bold!" ”

Li Jingzhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, but his mouth defended: "Your Highness, this is not a temptation, it is just to create fate for them." Your Highness, you have always doted on the Lord of the Eight Counties, and naturally I hope that she can live a happy life. If you don't tell her the truth and let the two of them contact on their own, if the county lord doesn't look down on Li Chongyun, if the county lord secretly agrees, Your Highness, you will become beautiful again. First, the county lord has obtained Ruyi Langjun, and secondly, His Royal Highness and Li Siye are in-laws, which is a great benefit to both the county lord and His Royal Highness. ”

Li Heng sighed and said, "I and Li Siye are old acquaintances, and the relationship has always been close, do you need this?" ”

"It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to kiss and kiss. Moreover, His Highness has been jealous of the saints over the years, and he does not dare to have any friendship with the border generals. Even if you and him were old acquaintances in the past, and they didn't move around for so many years, the relationship has long been estranged, and now once you get married, you can get this help, I hope Your Highness will make plans early. ”

"Okay, Jingzhong, you have to pay a lot of attention to this matter, but you can't rush it and force it forward."

Li Jingzhong looked up at the county lord Lori who was squatting in the medicine garden in the distance, wearing a pink shirt and a beaded hairpin, and showed an aunt smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave maid will definitely let the county lord find a good man." ”
