Chapter 0210: Webster's Enemy
In the inner hall of the dormitory, the high curtain hangs low, a huge one-horned ghost incense burner is placed in the corner of the house, the air is filled with a faint sandalwood, and the bright candlelight illuminates this gorgeous inner hall, everywhere is jeweled, gold is shining, several palace maids stand in the four corners with their hands down, not daring to disturb the master's train of thought.
In the main hall, a beautiful woman was walking back and forth, she was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a pointed and thin chin, and a typical awl face, and a faint hint of fox charm in her beauty.
She was dressed in a floor-length dress, the turquoise silk satin was extremely smooth, embellished with pearls and precious stones, and the upper body was only draped in a thin light veil, which showed the snow-white skin of her shoulders and chest in the light.
She is Li Xian's wife, the former Tang Dynasty queen Wei, Wei's name is Wei Lian, she looks like her name, beautiful as a lotus, she is shrewd in practice, her personality is cold and vicious, the city is very deep, she followed her husband Li Xian to live in Fangzhou for 11 years, and her heart has already been honed to be tenacious, she believes that her husband will not be trapped in Fangzhou all the time, as long as her husband has a bright day, it is the time for her Wei to show his talents.
Wei Lian spent eleven years firmly controlling her husband in her own hands, and at the same time she was unwilling to be lonely, debauched, and had an affair with many guards around her, Li Xian also heard a little, but he was ignorant and allowed his wife to do anything wrong.
However, at this time, Wei Lian was not in the mood to find pleasure, she had just received a pigeon letter from her son Li Chongrun halfway, in which he told her a secret, and the eunuch Jiang Enxin, who was close to her husband, turned out to be a henchman sent by Wu Sansi to spy on their couple.
This made Wei Lian unconsciously shocked and angry, Jiang Enxin has followed them for nearly eight years, and has always been loyal, he will be a confidant sent by Wu Sansi, which makes a chill for a while, if this is the case, wouldn't Wu Sansi have mastered the details of their husband and wife?
But Wei Lian still had a trace of doubt in her heart, after all, there was no evidence, where did her son get this information, was it hearsay, or was someone deliberately arranged?
Wei Lian thought about it, and she decided to set up a bureau to spy on this Jiang Enxin.
However, the fact that the son could have given them the news with a carrier pigeon, but at the same time as he was sending the letter, gave up the race and hurried back, only means that he had more important news to tell them in a hurry, and could not say it in the pigeon letter.
"Princess Qiyu"
A tall young guard, very handsome, knelt down on one knee and saluted quickly, "The prince has gone to Xiao'en Temple." â
This young guard's name is Han Zhiqi, a native of Chang'an, strong in martial arts, shrewd and capable, transferred from Qianniuwei to Fangzhou three years ago, responsible for protecting the safety of King Luling and Princess Wei, deeply loved by Wei Lian, and naturally became one of Wei Lian's henchmen and lovers.
In order to create a chance for herself to be with her lover, Wei Lian often beat Li Xian to Xiao'en Temple to make a wish, and her words are convincing, only filial piety can move her mother, let them go back as soon as possible, the more times you go, the more pious and filial piety she becomes.
Xiao'en Temple is located in the south of Fangzhou City, and it takes at least half a day to go there, giving Wei Lian enough time to create a zĂ o, but today Wei Lian didn't want to pull Han Zhiqi to the bed, but had another purpose.
Wei Lian nodded, "Come with me"
She took Han Zhiqi and seven or eight henchmen to the Duren Courtyard, which is the residence of the eunuchs in the Luling Palace, with more than 30 courtyards for more than 200 eunuchs to live in, and at this time they came to a very small courtyard in the east, which is the residence of Li Xian's henchman eunuch Jiang Enxin.
Jiang Enxin accompanied Li Xian to Xiao'en Temple, there was no one in the small courtyard, Wei Lian entered the small courtyard with seven or eight guards, Han Zhiqi pried open the door, lowered his hand and waited for Wei Lian's instructions, Wei Lian pondered for a moment and ordered: "Be careful when searching, try not to leave traces." â
Han Zhiqi immediately took the three guards into the room, and Wei Lian was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, she needed to sort out her thoughts again.
She is very aware of her husband Li Xian's status in the Tang Dynasty, he is the crown prince established by Emperor Gaozong, and he is the emperor's orthodoxy in the eyes of the world's corporans, and it is precisely because of this that those Xiaoxiao who peep into the emperor's throne, such as Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi, will hate Li Xian so much, regard him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and are always looking for opportunities to get rid of him.
If Jiang Enxin is a spy that Wu Sansi planted next to her husband, it is entirely possible, but the key is how Chongrun knew this secret? When Wu Chengsi was exiled and Li Dan was abolished as the emperor's heir, only Wu Sansi was left most likely to take the throne.
At this moment, Han Zhiqi walked out quickly, holding a stack of notes in his hand, "Princess, we found this"
Wei Lian took the note and looked at a few of them, and her face suddenly changed greatly, the note recorded every move of the couple, even including the time, place and number of times she and her lover had an affair, Wei Lian felt a fear in her heart, no matter who sent Jiang Enxin, but his identity as an undercover agent was beyond doubt.
Wei Lian slowly gritted her teeth and handed the note to Han Zhiqi again, "Put them back in their original place, restore the original state of the room, and don't let him show up."
"But the princess-" Han Zhiqi was a little worried in his heart, this note also had his name on it, why did he put it back in its place?
Wei Lian sneered, "Since he is a spy, we will plan and let him spread the false news." â
Although Fangzhou gave birth to some unpleasant secret things, but in Luoyang, the capital of God, millions of officials and people are still immersed in the wonderful excitement of the Marseille competition, the biggest highlight of this year's polo tournament is the internal defense polo team, they all the way to the pass, defeated the Xiangwang team into the top 32, defeated the Youzhou team into the 16th, defeated the Fangzhou team into the top 8.
But just yesterday, the Neiwei Polo Team broke the biggest upset since the start of the polo tournament, they defeated last year's third place Ganzhou team with a score of 3-2 and reached the semi-finals in one fell swoop, which made the Neiwei Polo Team the focus of attention.
The top four in the polo tournament also means that the final white-hot competition has entered, and the other three polo teams are not unexpected, the Qiancai Battalion Team, the Taiping Mansion Team, and the Liang Wang Wujiang Team, which are recognized as the three strongest teams, and now there is another internal defense polo team that surprises everyone.
But insiders know that this so-called internal guard polo team is actually Shangguan Wan'er's team, which makes many people who don't know the truth suddenly realize, Shangguan Wan'er's power and financial resources, how can her team be a weak team?
In the hall of the Ministry of Rites, the last draw of lots is about to be held, this time only four teams participated, the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, the Taiping Mansion Team, the Liang Wang Military General Team and the Internal Guard
The fifth to tenth place will be ranked according to the sum of the results, and there is no need to compete again, and the tenth place will not be ranked after that.
Li Zhen did not draw lots with Di Yan today, but came alone, and the other three teams were also like him, they all came alone, the leader of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion was Dou Xianyun, the leader of the Taiping Mansion team was Zhang Changzong, and the leader of the Liang Wang military generals team was Wu Chonglie.
Of course, Dou Xianyun is the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, Wu Chonglie is the son of Wu Sansi, and it is not surprising that he is the chief general, but the main general of the Taiping Mansion team was Yang Shenjiao last year, but this year he has become a Zhang Changzong who no one has ever seen, which is really strange.
However, Zhang Changzong looks like a peach blossom and is extremely charming, and everyone immediately guessed a few points, I am afraid that this Zhang Changzong has a deeper relationship with Princess Taiping
At this time, Dou Xianyun sat next to Li Zhen and said in a low voice, "Does Commander Li know that person?" He glanced at Zhang Changzong.
Li Zhen shook his head, he only knew that this person's surname was Zhang, and he didn't know what it was called, Dou Xianyun sneered disdainfully and said: "His name is Zhang Changzong, nicknamed Lotus Gongzi, he was originally a polo player of Wu Chenghe, and his ball skills are average, last year they were ranked eleven, I didn't expect him to become the main general of Princess Taiping's team, but it makes sense to think about it." â
Li Zhen understood the ridicule in Dou Xianyun's words, he just smiled faintly, but he knew that it was this Zhang Changzong and his brother Zhang Yizhi who finally became Wu Zetian's death in his old age.
Perhaps it was because Li Zhen defeated Dou Xianyun with indisputable strength in the Mounted Archery Championship, Dou Xianyun, who has always been above the top, spoke to him quite politely, and he smiled heartily: "Commander Li can lead the team to the top four, to be honest, I'm not surprised at all?"
Li Zhen bowed and smiled slightly, "Why does General Dou have this opinion?"
"Because during the training game, I learned your true level, if it wasn't for Commander Li deliberately letting me a ball, we would have been tied in that game. â
Li Zhen didn't expect this rugged general with a big beard to be so delicate, and he saw through his deliberate weakness during the training game, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Dou Xianyun, Li Zhen smiled modestly: "General Dou is a substitute player to play with us, and his strength is indeed higher, if you can bet, I bet on the Thousand Cavalry Battalion to win this year's crown."
Dou Xianyun was used in his heart, and smiled, "If it's a fair game, I don't think it's a big problem, I'm afraid-" He braked the back words dramatically, and there was no need to repeat the implication.
"It's been a fight until now, does General Dou think there will be any accidents?"
"It's hard to say, after all, some people have boasted about Haikou in advance, and this year's laurel belongs to them. Dou Xianyun glanced at Zhang Changzong coldly.
Li Zhen nodded silently, "Thank you General Dou for reminding me."
Dou Xianyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and returned to his seat.
At this time, Du Jingjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, appeared with four sticks, each of which was wrapped in the same paper sleeve, Du Jingjian smiled: "There are only four teams, just follow the old rules"
He put the four sticks into a white jade pen holder, shook it vigorously, walked up to the four people, and gave them a look one by one, "Look carefully, the four sticks are exactly the same, without any marks, I will draw out two at random, and decide the opponents of your four teams." â
The hearts of everyone in the room were raised, staring intently at Du Jingjian's hand, and they didn't dare to take a mouthful of the atmosphere, Du Jingjian took out two at random, tore open the envelope and said with a smile: "This is the Thousand Cavalry Battalion"
Dou Xianyun was shocked, his eyes stared at the other envelope, Du Jingjian tore open the other envelope, he raised it high and smiled: "This one is the Liang Wang military generals"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Changzong suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Zhen tightly, and a pair of bewitching peach blossom and apricot eyes slowly narrowed.
