Chapter 12: The Prince's Seal
"Your mother has a letter, she has already given the queen of heaven a notebook, I hope the queen can help you choose a good marriage in the court."
After a pause, Zhao Gong continued: "Even so, if you have other ideas, Uncle can still think of a way, such as the daughter of the prime minister's family you met outside the city." ”
Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan with a smile, as if he knew all the details of Li Xuan's night outside the city.
"That Liu family Sanniang is really good." Li Xuan's face showed a look of remembrance, especially the unforgettable quiet eyes......
Liu Jinyu is very compatible with him in terms of family background and temperament.
What a gentleman!
Immediately, Li Xuan looked up at Zhao Gong: "But uncle, will the Queen of Heaven be willing to let the Lecheng County Mansion and Nanchang Wangfu marry?" ”
"If it is said that before the prince died of illness, the queen of heaven would never be willing to let the prince of Lecheng County, who controls the military power, marry the Nanchang Palace, but the prince died of illness, although the prince of Lecheng County is in charge of the center, but he has lost the military power after all, plus he is quite old, the queen of heaven may not be so jealous, and His Majesty may be happy to see it."
"But the queen of heaven is still afraid!" Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong calmly.
"That's why I have to ask the queen to choose." Zhao Gong put a black chess piece in the chess box on the side in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's eyebrows immediately raised, if this is really the case, there is no room for maneuvering.
He nodded: "If Uncle has a way, then follow Uncle's method, but don't trap yourself in it." ”
"Huh!" Zhao Gong patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely marry you a beautiful girl." ”
Suddenly, Li Xuan seemed to think of something, and raised her head suddenly: "Uncle, is it because of King Xiang?" ”
Zhao Gong was slightly stunned, and said with a sneering face: "Da Lang, don't be too smart, okay, this makes Uncle very embarrassed." ”
"Sure enough, it's the king." Li Xuan didn't pay attention to Zhao Gong, and said to herself: "Li Dan's age is almost up, if it weren't for the sudden death of the prince, I'm afraid that the palace would have already planned to choose a concubine for him, maybe he has already made a move, and the daughter of the Liu family may be among them, but now that the prince has died of illness, the marriage of the king of Xiang will be delayed for at least a year, and then the discussion will begin, the age of the daughter of the Liu family is afraid that she can't wait, but it is me, the king of the county who is far away, it is just right to come out at this time!" ”
In just a few words, Li Xuan deduced all of Zhao Gong's plans.
Zhao Gong shook his head helplessly: "It's all your mother's fault, you are too strict, resulting in you rarely meeting women from the outside world, even if you have occasional contact with some women from the outside world, it is difficult to have a good idea." ”
"Uncle, I don't mind using my marriage as a bargaining chip." Li Xuan's face was calm and terrifying.
If it was in other dynasties, he might still fight, but in the era when Wu Zetian was in power, ensuring that he and his family survived was the first thing.
The Queen of Heaven is just bullying the clan now, and in the future, it will be the slaughter of the clan.
For Wu Zetian, who wants to be the empress, these people surnamed Li are all thorns in their eyes.
It is absolutely impossible not to grasp the strength of sufficient self-preservation, and even if there is a rebellion in the future, it is necessary to ensure the success of the rebellion.
Prime Minister Liu Jinyu's family background is secondary, and what Li Xuan really values is her ability to manage government affairs, which is very important.
"Don't worry, this time when you leave the Shendu, you will definitely be allowed to return with a satisfactory marriage." Zhao Gong stood up and patted Li Xuan's shoulder, and then walked towards the door: "Rest early tonight, I have to enter the palace tomorrow, that's the big deal!" ”
Li Xuan nodded, tomorrow he will face the real first person in the entire Datang alone, and he must cultivate his spirit.
……
At that time, the world was silent, and in a remote inn in the southeast of Nanshi, several large cars were parked in the backyard.
Suddenly, the last box of the outermost carriage opened silently, followed by a white jade-like palm poking out.
Immediately, Ye Wanwan, the demon girl of the Tianyin Sect that Li Xuan had met outside Luoyang City, jumped out of it.
Light as cicada wings, landing silently.
In her arms, she was holding Pei Shitong, the young daughter of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe.
Pei Shitong's breathing is much smoother now, and the whole person no longer has a fever, but he is still in a coma.
Ye Wanwan glanced around, and immediately saw the caravan guys sleeping in the eaves of the back room.
The raised hand was put down, Ye Wanwan picked up Pei Shitong, and soon disappeared into the inn.
A moment later, Ye Wanwan had already appeared in the backyard of a silk shop near the gate of the main fangfang.
"Who?" The owner of the silk shop stepped out of the dark shadows with unusual vigilance, holding a Tang knife in his hand.
"The sky is cloudy and lonely, and Brother Yu has temple food." Under the faint light, Ye Wanwan made a unique gesture.
"It turned out to be a saint." The middle-aged woman under the eaves immediately put away the Tang knife, crossed her hands, thumbs side by side, and replied with a special gesture.
These are all gestures unique to Tianyin Sect disciples to distinguish their identities, and after comparing them with each other, Ye Wanwan said directly: "I want to go to Yunshao Courtyard." ”
"Yunshao Courtyard is in Gentle Fang, there are three Fang markets from here, the holy woman, please come with me." The Tianyin Sect disciple turned around and walked directly towards the corner of the small courtyard.
Removing the water tank above, a black hole up and down was revealed, and at a cursory glance, the depth reached dozens of meters.
The Tianyin Sect disciples climbed down first, and then stood in the dark tunnel and lit the fire fold, and only after Ye Wanwan came down together did she move the water tank back from below.
As he walked forward, the Tianyin Sect disciple whispered: "When Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, Luoyang was besieged by the Tang army for a year, and the people were poor and hungry. ”
Ye Wanwan followed the Tianyin Sect disciples in front of him all the way.
They have already built an extremely secret underground network under Luoyang.
Even if the door is closed, it does not affect their secret passage.
Jiashangfang, where Ye Wanwan is located at the moment, is located in the southeast of Nanshi, while Wenwenfang is two squares away from the west side of Nanshi.
After walking all the way underground for half an hour, Ye Wanwan finally arrived at her destination.
The huge water urn above was pushed away, Ye Wanwan climbed up from below with Pei Sitong in his arms, and as soon as he entered the wide courtyard, several sturdy men pushing the huge water urn and shirtless, but they didn't even look at Ye Wanwan as if they had no expression, and then closed the underground passage again.
"This is the Teaching Division, and I don't know how many people come out every day, so we try our best to avoid any accidents." A twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old gorgeous woman wearing a blue floral skirt walked out of the corridor and bowed slightly: "I've seen the saint." ”
Surrounded by all kinds of peonies, roses, treasures and gorgeous flowers, and rockery flowing water is full of flowers, the flowers are splendid, and there is grace and luxury.
The Jiaofang Division, where the official prostitutes are, provides pleasure for the officials and children of the nobles.
"You don't seem to have many people here right now." Ye Wanwan was a little confused for a while, this was the biggest official prostitute in Luoyang, and it was quite strange that it was cold and deserted between the nights.
"The holy woman forgot that now is the period of the prince's funeral, and the soldiers and civilians are not allowed to take off their crowns and wear vegetarian clothes for twenty-seven days, and they are not allowed to marry for one month, they are not allowed to have fun for fifty days, they are not allowed to slaughter for forty-nine days, and they are not allowed to pray and pay sacrifices for twenty-seven days." The old bustard looked at Ye Wanwan calmly: "Unless someone doesn't want to be an official, no one will come here in the near future, but it doesn't matter, before, King Yong Li Xian and King Li Xian often came here quietly." ”
"Oh, so the plan has begun." Ye Wanwan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
The bustard smiled calmly, although this whole workshop will continue to play a role in the future, but their biggest task has been completed.
"I need to go see Uncle Bian. I know he's in Luoyang right now, and I need to talk to him about the Prince's Seal? ”
Hearing Ye Wanwan say this, the old bustard's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Has the holy woman found the prince's seal?" ”
"No, but the only person who knows the whereabouts of that thing is in my arms right now."
"It is impossible for the elder to come to see the Holy Maiden, at least not during this time."
"It seems that Uncle Shi's identity is really a certain official in the court." Ye Wanwan looked at the old bustard with a smile.
The old bustard was noncommittal, but his attitude had already explained everything, and he looked at Ye Wanwan: "I heard that the saint had a fight with Qianniuwei outside the city, but I don't know if the saint knows that among the three people who fought with you, one of them was the king of Nanchang County, and in addition, there was also the granddaughter of Liu Renliang, the left minister, who was present at the time." ”
"It turned out to be the prime minister's daughter, no wonder that group of guards were so fierce." Ye Wanwan's brows were immediately raised, Liu Renliang was not easy to mess with.
This is the real reason why she took the initiative to withdraw in the first place, otherwise according to her character, I am afraid that anyone who sees her take Pei Shitong away will be killed by him.
"None of this is meaningless, I need to see the elders as soon as possible and have important matters to discuss."
"Then please wait patiently, the elder will come to see the saint if he is free."
The Tianyin Sect has a large number of sects, and the saints have changed one stubble after another, but there will always be only a few elders.
