The mountain spring stream in Shangshan Pond is murmuring.

Near the sea of green bamboo forests, moving with the wind, the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain in the distance are undulating, and the smoke is traversal.

"You've suffered so much over the years." Li Cong sighed and patted Xue Bai's back, "I heard that the third brother almost buried you alive?" ”

Previously, Xue Bai explained the matter to Chen Xuanli when he was falsely accused of constructing the East Palace, and also released the news, so Li Cong also heard about it.

This sentence is to get to the point.

"Yes, I'm afraid that I have a grudge with the East Palace, can my uncle resolve it for me?"

Li Cong shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to his face, and said, "I look like this, living in the Ten Princes' Mansion, how can I interfere with the prince?" ”

Xue Bai groaned: "What if the case of the three Shuren is rehabilitated? ”

"Do you want to rehabilitate the Sanshuren case?" Li Cong asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Xue Bai was very crisp and clearly stated his attitude.

"I have a grudge against Li Heng, thinking that he is not a king, and the prince should be the eldest son of benevolence."

Li Cong's expression changed, and he was surprised by this straightforward sentence.

But it is also rewarding.

If you want to do great things, how can you spare your life? That's why it's so aggressive and straightforward.

And if the Sanshu case is rehabilitated, then his heirs will no longer be an obstacle for him to become the prince, on the contrary, his four sons will become the biggest help.

"It's hard, it's hard." Li Cong paced a few steps and said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible for a saint to rehabilitate this case. ”

Xue Bai asked, "Why?" ”

He was not in a hurry, waiting to see how much Li Cong knew about the matter of the edict, but Li Cong gave another explanation.

"Do you know the queen of the king?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Xue Bai had heard some things about Li Longji's original marriage to Queen Wang.

Empress Wang's name is Wang Ling, the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, who married Li Longji, the king of Linzi, very early, and shared the joys and sorrows with him during the most difficult period of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and gave great support behind the scenes.

She did not give birth to a son, Sechi fell in love, Li Longji empathized with Concubine Wu Hui after ascending the throne, and after Concubine Wu Hui gave birth to a child and was favored, she concocted the "Fu Fu Case", and deposed the queen as a concubine and imprisoned her in the cold palace until death.

Li Cong received the favor of Queen Wang when he was young, and when he mentioned it at this time, his tone was a little respectful.

Some of the words were not explicitly stated, but the implication was that the abolished prince Li Ying was once raised under the name of the queen and could be described as a concubine.

This is the premise, after saying this, Li Cong actually glanced around with some uneasiness, and made sure that he was in the empty mountain pavilion before he spoke.

"Zhang Qujiang is the prime minister, too Gengjie."

"What does that mean?"

"Since the sage ascended the throne, he has forged ahead, appointed the four sages of Kaiyuan, and governed the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that in the years after Zhang Gong became prime minister, Zhang Gong was a little too conceited and noble, and often disobeyed the saints. ”

After that, Li Cong gave several examples of Zhang Jiuling's stubbornness.

In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, Shi Zhang Shouqi, defeated the Khitan, and the sage wanted to appoint Zhang Shouqi as the prime minister, but Zhang Jiuling insisted on obstructing it; In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, An Lushan ventured into the middle of the ambush, lost his troops and broke the general, Zhang Jiuling tried to kill him, but the saint insisted on refusing; In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, the saint couldn't stay in Luoyang and decided to return to Chang'an......

"This is the last time the saint went to Luoyang, and for more than ten years after that, the saint never left Chang'an."

There was something else in Li Cong's words, but Xue Bai understood it and nodded.

For the saint, this is no longer a matter of removing Zhang Jiuling alone.

Replaced by Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Shuo, will it be good? The four sages of Kaiyuan are all the same virtues, pointing fingers and meddling.

This group of courtiers all had problems.

When the Tang Dynasty reached its heyday, and the sage reached his old age, he no longer needed this kind of constraint at all.

"Imagine what happened back then, the sage wanted to make Concubine Wu Hui the queen, and the crown prince, as the adopted son of the queen, was opposed; Zhang Gong was afraid of Wu Zhou and also strongly opposed. ”

At this point, Li Cong didn't continue, but Xue Bai already understood.

This passage talks about the cause of the Sanshuren case...... It should be said that Li Cong, the eldest son of the emperor, has observed for many years and speculated about the cause of the Sanshuren case.

A threatening prince, a group of civil officials who obstructed the imperial power, colluded with each other. In Li Longji's view, what should I think?

"It was when the saint was in Luoyang that year, something else happened."

Li Cong glanced at Xue Bai deeply and beckoned him to step forward.

"Li Jian, the king of the Thirteenth Lang Ying, once played secretly to the sage, and the prince asked him for 2,000 armor weapons. The sage was furious and asked Zhang Gong for advice, and Zhang Gong replied, 'The son makes his father's soldiers, and the crime should be punished. ’”

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ju failed to raise troops to rebel, and Tian Qianqiu quelled the incident, which is what he said. The son was naughty and ignorant, so he played with his father's soldiers and horses, and just beat him.

"And then?" Xue Bai asked.

Li Cong shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"How did Uncle know about this?"

"The horse Zhang Yan once told me in private."

Xue Bai vaguely realized that this was the key to the Sanshu case, and Concubine Wu Hui tricked Li Ying into going to the palace to get the thieves, there were obviously too many suspicious things. An emperor like Li Longji, how could he be easily deceived?

"The question is...... Where did the Yingwang Li Jian get the 2,000 pieces of armor? ”

"He certainly didn't, not even me." Li Cong said firmly, "But Shisanlang was in a similar situation to the prince at that time, both of them were left out by their biological mothers, and they had a deep relationship, so the sage was willing to believe Shisanlang's words." ”

"It's so suspicious." Xue Bai said: "How did Zhang Yan know? ”

"Zhang Yan is very close to anyone."

Xue Bai asked many more questions, but Li Cong didn't know, he had already told him everything he knew.

"Then, does my uncle know about the edict?"

"I heard that the prince made a false edict that night and deceived the palace gate."

Xue Bai paced a few steps and asked tentatively, "Then what if it proves that King Ying falsely accused the prince back then?" ”

"Rehabilitation, impossible." Li Cong's eyes rolled quickly, and he said in a low voice: "But it may be able to change the saint's mind." ”

He realized in an instant that there was a problem - no one could prove that King Ying was falsely accused, because the saint had never mentioned it to anyone. Then, whoever runs to take the initiative to prove it to the saint shows that whoever is secretly speculating on the saint's mind will die.

It can be seen that as long as the saint is still there, it is easy to die if the case of the three people is rehabilitated.

But Li Cong didn't say it.

Xue Bai remained silent and asked: "This matter, the concubines Zhang Yan, Yang Xun, Princess Xianyi, King Ying Li Xuan, Shouwang Li Xuan, Li Linfu, all know about this?" ”

"Not bad." Li Cong's eyes flashed, nodded, and said, "Since Zhang Yan knows, Princess Ning should also know." ”

"The eighth princess Ning Qin?" Xue Bai had heard Princess Tang Chang talk about her a few days ago and asked, "Is she Li Heng's sister?" ”

Li Cong had never thought about this layer and was stunned......

~~

Princess Yuzhen looked back, and from a distance, she saw Xue Bai solemnly saluting Li Cong.

It is not easy for royal children, this is just a private matter, a trivial matter, and if there is something she can help, she will help.

Not long after, Xue Bai came over from the Octagonal Pavilion.

"Let's go."

Princess Yuzhen didn't ask much, regardless of these mundane things.

The group walked down the winding mountain path again, but saw a blue-robed official standing under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in front of them, it was Lu Xuan.

Like last time, these princes and princesses met with people, and no matter how secretive they were, they were still targeted.

~~

Hinomezumi Doin.

Li Tengkong paced in, but saw Li Shiniang chatting with Princess Xianyi.

"The fairy is here."

Princess Li Niangdang of Xianyi beckoned and said, "After you became a monk, I saw you for the first time." This robe is so beautiful, I'll cut one too. ”

"Does the princess want to cultivate the Tao too?"

Li Niang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "What kind of Tao do I cultivate?" Do you also cultivate your Jade True Path? ”

Li Tengkong heard the meaning of her words, and was slightly unhappy.

"Just now I was talking to Eleven Niang, you still have something to do with that Xue Pingzhao?" Li Niang said: "I know that I was severely scolded by the saint because of his matter." ”

He never admitted that it was Xue Pingzhao, whether the princess was ...... Admit a mistake? ”

"I wish I had confessed my mistake, but you can see what he did."

Saying that, Li Niang was even more unhappy, and said worriedly: "Now his name is spread everywhere in Chang'an City, and I will go crazy when I hear the words 'Xue Lang Caiqi', this fang is a means, and it will become a scourge sooner or later." And you, who are deluded by ghosts, you know? Eleven Niang, you don't talk about him. ”

Li Shiniang smiled: "Why didn't I say it? I got tired of persuading her to play, but she was a solid-eyed person. ”

"Hey, fairy, can you do me a favor?" Li Niangyi grabbed Li Tengkong's hands and said, "Think of a way, can you help me kill him?" What kind of beautiful boy do you want, I can't give it to you? ”

Li Tengkong was stunned for a while, then suddenly withdrew his hands, turned around and left.

She walked to the door, stopped, calmed her emotions, and said: "Poor Dao is already an outsider, ignore these mundane things, the sisterhood of the past, if you read it, you will listen to Poor Dao's advice, if you don't read it, forget it...... Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, evil is evil, and everyone knows that good is good and not good. ”

Li Niang was stunned for a moment, quite dazed.

"What did she say?"

"Ignore her." Li Shiniang said: "She has a weird temperament since she was a child. ”

"I was confused, except for Xue Pingzhao, she will be fine sooner or later."

As he spoke, a little sarcasm appeared on their faces. After a while, a maid came in and whispered.

"Princess, he met Princess Tangchang a few days ago, and today he met King Qing......"

~~

On the way out of the Zongsheng Palace, Li Tengkong kept his head down, looking preoccupied.

After entering the Yuhua Temple, Princess Yuzhen returned to her residence, and she pulled Xue Bai's sleeve.

"Come with me, and I have something to say to you."

The two shook off Li Jilan and rushed to the bamboo forest by the main hall, and Li Tengkong said in a low voice: "Princess Xianyi wants to harm you." ”

"I know."

Li Tengkong couldn't say more, and was stunned for a while.

When Xue Bai saw her appearance, he chuckled and shook his head.

"Everything is a struggle for power. They don't bother, and I don't bother about it, so why are you the only one in the middle of the trouble? ”

"I ...... I wasn't upset, I just felt a little out of place with them since I was a child. ”

"Oh, you have high moral standards." Xue Bai walked inside.

Li Tengkong listened to him relaxed, and his mood was better, so he followed his footsteps and said, "Because I read the Tao Te Ching? ”

"Is this a joke?"

"Hmm."

"It's not funny." Although he said this, Xue Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, she can't hurt me, I may be able to make friends with their husband and wife." ”

"Make a friend?"

"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends."

Xue Bai didn't answer, and fell into thought again.

What he saw and heard in Zhongnanshan this time has changed his mentality and situation quite a lot.

The bigger the goal, the more willing he is to endure.

He knew that sooner or later the two meetings would not be able to be concealed, and he was almost involved in the aftermath of the Sanshuren case.

Although Li Niang is not smart, she is Li Longji's daughter after all, and she has been persevering in attacking indiscriminately. I have so many flaws at once, and I really have the possibility of being knocked down by her.

Even if you don't get killed by this woman, it's very troublesome to be delayed. For the time being, it won't be easy to get rid of her.

At this time, many people are secretly staring, and they must have thought that Li Ying's remnants Xue Pingzhao are going to fight with Princess Xianyi, the child of Concubine Wu Hui, right?

Some people are waiting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight......

Thinking like this, Xue Bai turned around and said, "Introduce me to it, right?" ”

Li Tengkong was stunned when he heard this.

"What?"

"Isn't Princess Xianyi your friend? Take me to meet her tomorrow? ”

"You...... Are you for me? Actually, you don't have to ......."

Halfway through speaking, Li Tengkong suddenly woke up, waved his hand again and again, and said, "I didn't think about it, I am a Taoist priest." I mean...... I'll see you tomorrow. ”

It wasn't until later that she regained her calm tone, made a salute and turned to leave.

However, when he turned around, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Li Jilan standing on the steps of the guest courtyard with a scroll waiting for Xue Bai, very beautiful.

Li Tengkong decided to discuss opera with them.

After all, the sage likes both Taoism and opera, which shows that the two have something in common.

……

In the guest house, Yan Yan had just taken a nap and was jumping rope with Qinglan and Mian'er in the courtyard. Kyauknu was also playing, but when she saw someone coming, she put away her smile and stepped aside.

When Yan Yan saw Li Tengkong, her eyes were filled with some cunning, as if she was a little proud.

Li Tengkong didn't know why she looked at herself like this, and explained for no reason: "We are going to discuss articles and poems. ”

"Oh, the article poetry." Yan Yan nodded, and said crisply: "Although it will become a good match after a long time, how can I not cry sadly." ”

"Don't say it."

Li Jilan didn't have as much careful thinking as them, and only stared at Xue Bai with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were rippling in the autumn water, and discussed the article wholeheartedly.

"Xue Lang said that he wanted to show the little girl the lyrics and songs of each word card, but he hasn't given a single one so far."

Xue Bai has been thinking about some conspiracy to usurp the throne recently, and he really didn't care about these.

At this time, he was also a little ashamed, and secretly said that it was most important to coax Li Longji at the moment, so he took out the few small words he had written before and handed them to Li Jilan.

"Ji Lanzi let's see, can I be inspired......"

~~

It was night, and Li Tengkong had not slept well.

In Yuhuaguan, she and Li Jilan live in the same room, and they can hear Li Jilan's movements all night.

In the middle of the night, when I got up to look, I saw that Li Jilan was still holding a paper and looking at the moonlight, looking a little fascinated.

Li Tengkong was very uneasy about this.

She always felt that she no longer only admired Xue Bai's poetry, but also began to admire him, but there was no evidence, so she had to be secretly depressed, and she had to worry about it.

turned over, trying not to think about this, but Xue Bai's words came to mind again...... Is it written for yourself? It happened to be written on the night when Ziyunguan was mistaken for a tryst.

"It's annoying."

I muttered so much in the quilt, and I don't know if I fell asleep later, and when I got up the next day and looked at the bronze mirror, my eyes were already swollen.

No matter how natural the Tao is, and the cultivation is profound, there is nothing to be done about it.

"Seventeen Niang." Mian'er ran over excitedly, "Xue Langjun came to look for you early in the morning, just outside the door." ”

Li Tengkong tied the lotus crown, looked at the bronze mirror twice, couldn't help but flatten his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "It's so late to look up and go to see Princess Xianyi so early, and go up to the ghost." ”

"Seventeen Niang, this is not what a Taoist priest should say."

"There is a Taoist priest outside the house, and you take care of me in the house."

When I went out, I saw Xue Bai standing in the early morning sun, looking energetic.

"Don't worry." He smiled, "Princess Xianyi will be friends with me smoothly." ”

He could tell at a glance that her eyes were swollen.

"I'm not worried." Li Teng swept the dust, turned sideways, and said lightly: "I watched the stars last night, and I forgot about myself for a while." ”
