Li Chongjun left the back door of the left bank wine shop, got into a carriage waiting at the back door, the carriage ran all the way to the palace of the king of Luling under the protection of several horseback guards, today Li Chongjun came to find Li Zhen is the meaning of his father Li Xian, but he himself does not approve of his father and Li Zhen getting too close, after all, Li Zhen has made a lot of enemies in the past year, and many people are secretly peeping at him.

Moreover, Li Chongjun was also deeply confused, his father said that he would find a way to arrange Li Zhen to enter the army, but he didn't know what his father could do? Could it really be through Shangguan Wan'er? But he never saw how his father contacted Shangguan Wan'er.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the palace, Li Chongjun got out of the carriage, hurriedly walked into the side door, and came to his father's study, he knocked on the door, "Father, the child is back." ”

There was a sound in the room, and it was only after a while that I heard the voice of my father Li Xian, "Come in!"

Li Chongjun pushed open the door, but unexpectedly found that the personal maid Su Yue was also in the study, only to see that her face was flushed, her hair was a little messy, and her father Li Xian was sitting expressionlessly. ”

Li Xian glanced at Su Yue, Su Yue didn't dare to look at Li Chongjun, and retreated with a red face, Li Xian smiled and said, "How are you talking to Li Zhen?"

Returning to his father, the boy made his father's suggestion to him, and it was evident that he felt very sudden, hesitated for a long time, and wished to give him time to think about it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjun cautiously asked tentatively, "Does my father think he might agree?"

"What do you think?" Li Xian asked with a smile again.

The child felt that he might not agree, after all, he had just been promoted to the general of the internal guard, and all the arrangements were just on the right track, so he suddenly gave up, and he accepted it very reasonably. ”

Li Xian laughed, "I know that from common sense, he is indeed difficult to accept, but he is the only person in the Xingtang Society who has hope of holding military power, which means a lot to us, and I hope he can accept it." ”

Li Chongjun didn't speak again, this was just his father's wishful thinking, and Li Zhen might not be willing to agree!

At this time, Su Yue, who had just left, appeared at the door again, and she said calmly: "Lord Wang, Aunt Xie Dao is here!"

"Hurry up and invite her in!"

After a pause, Li Xian asked again, "Is Madame resting?"

"Mrs. Hui has rested. ”

Li Chongjun next to him suddenly woke up, this Su Yue is actually Shangguan Wan'er's personal guard placed by his father's side, and it is precisely because of her existence that his father can contact Shangguan Wan'er in time, could it be that his father said that he has a way to arrange for Li Zhen to join the military as a post, and he must have embarked on the road of Guan Wan'er.

But isn't Li Zhen Shangguan Wan'er's person? Shangguan Wan'er arranged him directly, why did he still go through his father, Li Chongjun was suddenly a little confused.

After a while, the female Taoist aunt Xie Ying walked in quickly, and when she saw that Li Chongjun was also in the room, she bowed slightly and smiled: "Eldest son, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Chongjun nodded, and asked his father again, "Do you need the child to step back temporarily?"

"It's okay, Daoist Xie is here to talk about Li Zhen, you might as well listen to it. ”

Li Chongjun no longer retreated, and stood silently aside, Li Xian invited Xie Ying to sit down, and asked, "Is there any new news from Shangguan Sheren?"

"There is a little bit of new news, but let's talk about Li Zhen first, Shangguan Sheren agrees with the prince's opinion in principle. ”

Li Xian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Does it mean that Li Zhen joined the military?"

Xie Ying nodded slowly, and smiled again: "But this matter requires Li Zhen's own consent, she knows Li Zhen very well, she said that if Li Zhen does not agree to arrange it forcibly, the effect will be counterproductive, and the final result may be what the prince does not want to see." ”

Li Xian nodded silently, he understood the meaning of Shangguan Wan'er's words, after all, there were competitors behind him, not only the Wu family, but also within the Li royal family, if he didn't handle Li Zhen properly, he would probably make a wedding dress for someone else.

"I know I'll try to get his consent. ”

Xie Ying smiled again: "Shangguan Sheren said that she will do her best to help the prince achieve his goal in this matter. ”

Li Xian was moved in his heart, and bowed and said: "Please thank Daochang Xie to tell Shangguan Sheren, her help Li Xian will be remembered in his heart." ”

"The prince is so polite!"

Xie Ying smiled slightly: "In addition, I will say another new news, maybe the prince can't think of it, Wu Chengsi is no longer in Guangzhou." ”

Li Xian was stunned, "What happened?"

"We don't know the specifics, but the news from Guangzhou that the 'Wu Chengsi' who is currently in Guangzhou is not himself, but a stand-in, and the real Wu Chengsi has disappeared, and it is likely that he has secretly lurked back to the capital. ”

"Does the Holy Lord know about this?" Li Xian asked again.

"The Holy One doesn't know yet, but she will know sooner or later, in just two or three days. ”

Li Xian was silent, he knew in his heart that Wu Chengsi was still unwilling to lose the opportunity to win the throne, and he had to fight again, although his behavior was very stupid, but it can also be seen that the samurai's desire for the Tang Dynasty is even the same as Wu Chenghe, not to mention Wu Sansi, there will inevitably be a vicious fight between Li Wu.

At this time, Xie Ying got up and said with a smile: "I still have to enter the palace to report to the housekeeper, so I will leave first." ”

Li Xian hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you Dao Chang for telling me the news, Li Xian is grateful." ”

Xie Ying saluted Li Chongjun again, followed Su Yue and left quickly, and when they were all gone, Li Chongjun asked his father in a low voice, "Father, can Shangguan Sheren convince Li Zhen?"

Li Xian nodded, "You don't have to worry about her methods, everyone has weaknesses, and Li Zhen is no exception, and Li Zhen's weaknesses are best known to Shangguan Sheren." ”......

It wasn't until the drums of the closed city gate sounded that the banquet in the wine shop on the left bank dispersed, everyone returned to the barracks, and Li Zhen also came to the Internal Guard and External Affairs Bureau, since Li Zhen and Lai Junchen fought evilly, Li Zhen moved to live in the Internal Guard and Foreign Affairs Bureau.

Although Lai Junchen had been ambushed, due to the breakdown of her eldest sister's marriage, she left Luoyang and went to Chang'an, and Li Zhen rarely went back to his own home, he thought the home was too lonely, and he lived in the office most of the time.

Originally, tonight was supposed to be a drunken party, but Li Chongjun's visit disturbed Li Zhen's interest, so that he had no interest in drinking, and returned to the Internal and Foreign Affairs Department with a clear mind, but as soon as he entered the gate, a soldier on duty ran out and said to Li Zhen: "General, Gao Fujun is here." ”

Li Zhen was taken aback, only to see Gao Yanfu walking out of the inner courtyard quickly, without a trace of a smile on his face, and said directly to him: "Come with me into the palace, the Holy Lord will summon you." ”

A cold breath rose from Li Zhen's back, his whole body stiffened, and after a while, the corners of his mouth pulled at the corner of his mouth and asked, "So late, the Holy Lord summoned me." Is there anything that matters?"

Gao Yanfu had a bitter smile on his face that could not be concealed, he shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, you just follow me into the palace." ”

"Where did the Holy Lord summon me?" Li Zhen asked again.

"In the Imperial Study!"

The three words 'Imperial Study' suddenly made Li Zhen see a glimmer of hope again, maybe Wu Zetian was really looking for him to have something urgent, although he was unwilling in his heart, but Li Zhen knew in his heart that as long as he was still in Datang for a day, he had to enter the palace, unless he fled Luoyang now, escaped from Datang, but how unrealistic it was, Shen Nanmu took more than half a year to prepare before he successfully escaped, how could he escape overnight.

He had to nod his head hard, and he didn't have time to go back to the room, and directly followed Gao Yanfu into the carriage, and the carriage drove quickly to the palace, all the way unimpeded, and entered the Yingtian Gate, and soon came to the front of the Ming Hall, the Ming Hall has been re-completed by Wu Sansi, also known as 'Tongtian Palace', the whole Ming Hall is magnificent, representing the highest level of Tang Dynasty architecture.

But the carriage was stopped by several eunuchs in front of the Ming Hall, Gao Yanfu's face sank, and he said angrily: "You are so daring, the Holy Lord summoned General Li, and you dared to block the way." ”

The chief eunuch stepped forward with a smile on his face and whispered a few words to Gao Yanfu, Gao Yanfu was stunned, "What you said is true?"

"No matter how bold the slave is, he doesn't dare to deceive the prince in this matter, every sentence is true!"

Gao Yanfu pondered, turned back to Li Zhen and said, "The situation has changed, you don't need to go to the imperial study for the time being, just wait in the Ming Hall for a while! I will send someone to pick you up later." ”

"Fu Jun, what happened?" asked Li Zhen puzzled.

Gao Yanfu shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, you go with them first!"

Li Zhen couldn't ask for it, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and followed several eunuchs to the Ming Hall, the bottom floor of the Ming Hall is the main hall where the court meeting is held, and the second floor is the political hall where the ministers are deliberating, a eunuch has been taking Li Zhen up to the third floor, through a long corridor, to a door, the eunuch bowed down and smiled: "General Li, please!"

Li Zhen felt that this place was not like a place to rest and wait, but like a courtroom, his long sword had been handed over when he entered the Heavenly Gate, at this time he was barehanded, if he encountered danger, it was difficult for him to dodge, but in a blink of an eye, he was already in the palace, even if he held the sword, what could he do?

He had to push the door and walk into the room with the idea of resigning himself to fate, the light in the room was dim, only a candle on the table was burning suddenly, although the light was unknown, it could be seen that the room was extremely elegantly arranged, and the air was filled with a very familiar fragrance of Li Zhen, Li Zhen suddenly knew whose room it was.

I saw a woman in a bright red dress standing by the window, with white and greasy skin, tall and plump, and a pale green silk peony on her jet-black hair, looking at her with a smile, it was Shangguan Wan'er.

"It's you!"

Although Li Zhen had guessed that this was Shangguan Wan'er's courtroom, her appearance still surprised Li Zhen, Shangguan Wan'er would actually wait for him here, which was really unexpected by Li Zhen, "You." Why are you here?", he asked, puzzled.

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward slowly, gently snuggled into his arms, looked up at him, and said softly, "Haven't you thought of it yet?"

Li Zhen seemed to understand something from her eyes full of wisdom, and he asked, "You stopped her?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded lightly, and her red lips whispered in Li Zhen's ear: "She was supposed to be in the imperial study tonight, but I don't want to, I don't want her to touch you." ”

Li Zhen felt a trace of indescribable gratitude in his heart, and he hugged Shangguan Wan'er hard, although he didn't want to have any more male and female feelings with Shangguan Wan'er, but at this time he was still moved by Shangguan Wan'er's help.

Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes gently, and the warmth in Li Zhen's arms made her feel an indescribable weakness, "Put the lights out!" she murmured.

The candle was extinguished immediately, and the room was suddenly dark, and only Shangguan Wan'er's low wheezing voice was heard in the darkness
