Chapter 124: Freedom

The leaves of the old ginkgo trees have turned a little yellow.

Li Tengkong and Xue Bai walked under the tree, looked up, and saw that Princess Yuzhen was not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen real people."

"The concubine will set up a banquet, and you will go with the teacher." Princess Yuzhen said, looked at Xue Bai, and said, "The saint is not suitable to play cards here, you should go back to Yuhuaguan." ”

This is the disadvantage of not knowing the Tao and the rhythm of music, and people who can only fight cocks and play cards just can't always accompany the holy driver.

Xue Bai was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a female crown beckoning to him not far away, but it was a pearl.

I have to say that every woman wearing a robe has a different charm, and Mingzhu wears the pitiful feeling of being forced to become a monk without breaking her heart.

"Xue Langjun, Yao Niang and her sisters live in an annex, it is inconvenient to see you, so I have a little leisure at this time, so I came with the slave family."

Xue Bai then followed Mingzhu to the east again.

After passing through the path and going around for a long time, the more guards under the red wall in front of him, Mingzhu showed the sign and passed the courtyard gate, and he could already see Gong'e walking.

At the flower garden, several florists were busy, and Xue Bai's eyes fell on the order on their waists, and he suddenly stopped.

"Xue Langjun, what's wrong?"

"This is the Imperial Palace?"

"Don't worry about Lang Jun, this is the annex where the three ladies live temporarily, and it is still far from the palace." Mingzhu said: "This annex is for the royal relatives who accompany the car to live, not to mention the forbidden garden." ”

Xue Bai looked up and found that after going around, he had actually returned to the East Garden of the Zongsheng Palace.

"Where do the princesses live?"

"Yes, the third lady lives closer to the inside."

"I heard that Princess Ningqin's concubine has an extraordinary style and a profound Taoism, do you know where he lives?"

Mingzhu was a little amused when she heard it, and said: "No matter how stylish the horse is, what is the interest of Lang Jun when he sees it?" Yao Niang finally broke away from the two ladies, so don't let her wait. ”

Xue Bai groaned: "Yu Yao wants to meet, but she has to separate the two ladies?" ”

"That's nature." Mingzhu also thought that he was making frivolous words, lowered his head, and said softly: "It's not good for people to know." ”

~~

Lu Xuan hurried into Princess Xianyi's annex.

"The princess, the concubine Wanfu, the official servant Shi Lu Xuan, is now the chief secretary of the palace."

"You arranged this place where I live?" Li Niang suddenly spoke, her tone displeased.

Lu Xuan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "This ...... This annex is the best, but what does the princess think is wrong? Xiaguan will improve. ”

"I think you're the biggest mistake!" Li Niang shouted.

Yang Wei comforted her again and said, "Lu Yushi, I remember you, on the night of Shangyuan, you planned to take Xue Bai to Dali Temple Prison, why was you demoted?" ”

The answer to this question is clearly on the topic, Lu Xuan was stunned, and said: "The lower officials do not choose what to say, and they said what they shouldn't say in front of the emperor." ”

Hearing this answer, Yang Wei nodded, and glanced at Li Niang again, with the intention of reminding.

- You see, there's no need to be forceful and talk nonsense.

"Princess, as a palace supervisor, Xia Guan discovered something inappropriate, but Xue Bai often entered the Zongsheng Palace and secretly met with Princess Tangchang and King Qing."

Whoever saw whom in this holy palace couldn't hide it from Lu Xuan, the palace supervisor, and he had reported this matter to Princess Xianyi yesterday, but today he heard that Xue Bai had arrived at Princess Xianyi's annex, which made him a little uneasy.

"I know." Yang Wei said: "He came today, and he dared to threaten us. ”

"I see." Lu Xuan said: "This matter is hateful. It's a pity that the right minister did not come with the car, and the official position is humble, and I am afraid that the nobles will need to come forward in this matter. ”

Pei Mian told him that it was best for Princess Xianyi to deal with Xue Bai, and he thought that she would agree immediately.

Yang Xun asked, "Do you want the princess to sue the royal court?" ”

"Yes, Xia Guan heard that it was the concubine who discovered that Xue Bai was the son of a traitor, and told the right minister that he had ill intentions, and now Xia Guan has found evidence."

"Yes, that's true." Yang Wei sneered slightly and asked, "Who arranged for you to go to the Zongsheng Palace to keep an eye on?" ”

"Yushi Pei Mian, he is the arm of the king."

"Pei Mian?"

Yang Wei chewed on the name and said slowly: "Did he ask the princess to make a move after Xue Bai Jiao Qing Wang?" ”

This is indeed the case, but Lu Xuan has already made up his mind to grab some credit that belongs to Pei Mian.

"The lower officials have respect for the princess and the concubine, and they are willing to be willing, so they will remind them as soon as they get the news."

"Okay." Yang Wei was amazed and said, "It's a pity that two months ago, the princess was reprimanded by the saint, and now she is exposing it again, I am afraid that it will backfire." ”

"This ......"

"Give you a chance to be reinstated." Yang Xun said: "You go to find Princess Ningqin's concubine Zhang Yan, he has often traveled with the saint recently, so that he can lead him to the prelude to the palace." ”

Lu Xuan was surprised, delighted and bottomless, and hesitated: "Can a saint believe in the lower officials?" ”

"The facts are there, what are you afraid of?" Yang Wei said: "Go and confirm this matter, and you will naturally be reinstated." ”

"Thank you, colt!"

Lu Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't mention the princess again, otherwise it will be a mistake."

Yang Wei waved his hand and asked people to lead him to see Zhang Yan.

Li Niang sat there with a cold face, looking very annoyed, and said, "A group of dogs, all dare to use me!" ”

Yang Xun's face also turned cold.

Since he even knows about Pei Mian, he will no longer be used by fools like Lu Xuan, but ...... It has indeed been exploited too many times.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "In the situation of Eighteen Lang, they don't take us seriously for a long time. ”

"Donkey, why did you let him go to see Zhang Yan?"

"The whole thing must have a lot to do with Zhang Yan, he was the one who wanted to marry Tang Chang back then, and he was the one who didn't marry. It was he who married Li Heng, and it was his wife who sold Xue Pingzhao, just borrowing Lu Xuan, a fool, to let him show his bottom. ”

~~

Lu Xuan just left the annex, and he heard a report,

"Master book, Xue Bai went to the annex of Mrs. Qiuguo."

His eyes immediately flashed.

Because he knew very well that Xue Bai was the head of the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu, the saint would not be happy. The last time he said this, the reason why he was demoted was because Yang Guifei said that he "chewed his tongue in front of the emperor" and reversed black and white.

But this time, Pei Mian arranged it too well, just in time for him to come to the Zongsheng Palace to catch him.

With this expectation, Roh Hyun became more and more excited.

"Let's go, go to Princess Ningqin's annex."

~~

Zhang Yan is the son of the prime minister, and he was selected as a concubine, and his demeanor is extraordinary.

He looked like he was forty years old, with a long flowing beard and an elegant temperament.

When Lu Xuan arrived, he was entertaining guests in the annex, and when he heard that an official from the palace was coming, he actually went to the courtyard to greet him in person, with an easy-going attitude, and invited Lu Xuan to sit down in the palace and talk.

After hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, Zhang Yan stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Then please ask Master Lu to wait here, and when the saint summons me to talk about the Tao, you and I will face the saint together." ”

"It's hard to bother."

Lu Xuan only felt that a person with such a noble status could still treat him like a spring breeze as a petty official, and his good impression of Zhang Yan increased greatly.

He then sat and waited in the room, and sometimes looked out the window, and could see many clan nobles hustling into the annex, including Li Jiao, the king of Guangping.

In the spring of this Ke, the king of Guangping was grounded for half a year because of his support for all living beings to make trouble, and now the time limit has not passed, and he can come to Zhongnan Mountain with the royal car, and you must know that even the prince has not come.

But I don't know if it's because the saint loves this imperial grandson, or because he is wary of the East Palace?

Of course, King Guangping is close to his aunt and father, and there is nothing to blame.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan admired Zhang Yan more and more, he had dealings with anyone, and he was not feared, and there were actually few people among the emperor's relatives who could do it.

This was a long wait, and he sat there for a while, until in the evening, when the saint sent the palace people to summon him.

Facing the saint with Zhang Yan was also a young Taoist priest Li Yu, the two of them walked in front of the fairy style, and Lu Xuan followed behind, all the way to Ziyun Yanqing Tower.

There was a solemn scene in front of Yanqing Building.

Lu Xuan saw Gao Lishi personally come to greet Zhang Yan and Li Mi, with a lovely smile and a little relaxation.

After the three of them had spoken, he dared to bow down and salute Colliers.

"What's the matter with Master Lu?"

Rohyun was about to speak.

Zhang Yan, who has an elegant temperament and a gentle personality, spoke first, and said: "Master Lu has an important matter, saying that Xue Bai secretly met with Princess Tangchang and King Qing, and also had an affair with Mrs. Qiuguo, and the matter is very important, so I dare not present it to the chief of the palace, and I want to listen to it directly." ”

"Oh?"

Gao Lishi turned his head to look, and Lu Xuan nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Yan said again: "It's just ...... Xue Bai, who was secretly communicating with Mrs. Yu Guo, was in my annex with the kings and horses, listening to Changyuan's lecture on the Tao Te Ching, and perhaps I also participated in a conspiracy without knowing it, so I specially led him to explain to the sage. ”

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth.

Gao Lishi had already looked at Li Mi and said, "This matter is related to Li Prodigy?" ”

Inexplicably involved in the power struggle, Li Mi looked calm, and said truthfully: "That's true, yesterday Shangshanchi, Xue Bai was here, King Qing was there, and I was also there; Today, in the annex, Xue Bai is here, the kings are here, and I am also here. ”

Lu Xuan was suddenly excited, and hurriedly said: "General Gao, listen to me, it is because of this matter involving Xue Rust......"

"Enough! Not tired yet?! ”

Colliers suddenly shouted.

In just five words, Lu Xuan was scolded and broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Yan's spring breeze and Gao Lishi's amiability were not for him.

"Wait."

Gao Lishi said goodbye and led Zhang Yan and Li Mi upstairs.

Lu Xuan was terrified, and when he looked up, he was surrounded by mist on the upper floor of Ziyun Yanqing, a fairyland scene.

~~

Li Longji was wearing a Taoist robe and was meditating.

When Gao Lishi stood behind him, he didn't open his eyes, and asked lightly, "What's the noise?" ”

"Xue Bai is causing trouble again, and when he has a little fame, he travels everywhere in the Zongsheng Temple, and sees kings, princesses, and horses every day, and Lu Xuan wants to complain to the sage......"

"Go to Lingnan when you're free." Li Longji was busy with immortality and didn't have the patience to listen to these boring trivialities.

Gao Lishi silently retreated, walked down the Yanqing Building, and arranged for someone to take Lu Xuan down.

This time, I went to Lingnan.

~~

Xue Bai knew that Lu Xuan had been staring at him in the Zongsheng Palace, and in the past, he would try not to let Lu Xuan get the handle, but now that his mind had changed, he decided to take this opportunity to interact more with the clan.

Get close to them, get to know them, and become them later.

Therefore, after entering the annex of Mrs. Qiuguo, he immediately turned out and came to visit Zhang Yan.

He really wanted to know how Zhang Yan would explain if the matter of Zhang Yan taking care of Anyefang's mansion for Princess Tangchang was revealed.

As soon as they met, there were many eyes and ears around, but Zhang Yan only mentioned Xue Bai's current reputation, saying that he had admired him for a long time, and invited him to discuss together.

Today, Li Mi is talking about the Tao Te Ching in an indifferent manner, and Xue Bai is listening to it in the hall, but his mind is full of thoughts of chaotic ministers and thieves.

When the sage summoned Zhang Yan and Li Mi, Xue Bai didn't find a chance to whisper to Zhang Yan...... Of course, he is not in a hurry at all, time is there.

When he got up, he heard someone call behind him.

"Xue Bai, how about talking about Taoism together?"

Looking back, it was a luxurious and extraordinary young man, Li Li, the king of Guangping.

Compared with Li Heng's cautiousness, Li Jiao was quite bold at some times, daring to associate with some officials and Junwang.

"But it's disrespectful, please."

The two young men left the annex and walked aimlessly to the east.

In front is Wenxian ditch, walk across the suspension bridge, there is a Lingguan, the scenery is quite good, the field of vision is broad.

"I heard about you." Li Jiao looked at the sky, let the mountain wind blow his clothes, quite heroic, "During the Liu Tao case, Li Jingzhong was too scared, and he did stupid things and wrong things, which was the fault of the East Palace. ”

"It turns out that the king of Guangping also heard about it."

"If I were you, I wouldn't tell me about it." Li Jiao said, "This is for your good, and if you say it, it will embarrass the East Palace, and it will be even more difficult to be good...... But I can protect you and dispel the matter. ”

Xue Bai asked, "How does King Guangping protect me?" ”

"I have a compatriot sister, who is the third among the sisters, with a lovely appearance, Minhui and pure filial piety, and is very loved by Grandpa. We lost our mother at a young age, and she was raised under Concubine Wei's knees, and she was a concubine. ”

As he spoke, Li Jiao turned his head to look at Xue Bai, serious.

"You married my sister, and from now on you can release your past suspicions with the East Palace, and I will protect your future in the future. No one will attack you anymore, you can show your talents to your heart's content. Today, you have also met my uncle and Mr. Changyuan, what kind of fairy characters are they? You can live like that. ”

Xue Bai did not evade, looked directly into Li Li's eyes, and responded: "The king of Guangping is very loving, but I can't marry the county lord." ”

"Why?"

"I have something unspeakable, and I can't tell the truth."

"Unspeakable?" Li Li didn't expect such an answer, and raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”

Xue Bai was very sincere and said, "Really." ”

If he marries the daughter of Li Heng, he can no longer claim to be a clan and seek to usurp the throne.

Since he had ambitions, he has been inexplicably firm, and he is not interested in Li Jiao's wooing at all.

Li Jiao wasn't angry, after all, he was here to win over talents, he just frowned and groaned, and asked, "You...... But is there a problem with your health? ”

"Not really."

"Don't want to?"

"I can't."

Li Jiao frowned, and then asked, "You have a marriage contract?" ”

"Does King Guangping think that relationships outside of marriage are unreliable?" Xue Bai didn't entangle with him, and said: "But even if you get married, the prince has been reconciled and divorced twice, isn't he?" ”

In a word, Li Li was speechless.

He felt that Xue Bai was too rude, and he knew that talented people were often arrogant, but he was willing to tolerate it, and finally smiled bitterly.

"Grandpa has his helplessness, the past is gone, but he doesn't have to mind."

"Yes, the past is over."

"Don't talk about that." Li Li said: "What I really want to talk to you about is tax law. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Juntian, Fubing, and Renyong have reached the time when they have to break the old and establish the new sooner or later. ”

Xue Bai nodded, but he still didn't have the heart to talk to him deeply.

Talking about it, it is just a castle in the air at the moment, and there is no possibility of implementation, so what is the point of talking on paper?

Not even freedom.

As the twilight wore on, the two turned and walked back.

Suddenly, a team of guards walked by, and among them was a green-robed official who was escorted, it was Lu Xuan.

"Xue Bai! You are the son of a thief......"

Lu Xuan was only halfway through the shout, and his mouth was already gagged, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the Taoist blessed land.

Li Li was a little surprised and asked, "That's it?" ”

"My brother's men want to harm me again." Xue Bai's reaction was flat, "However, I can already protect myself." ”

Li Jiao was stunned for a moment, and faintly heard that there was something in his words.

Xue Bai retreated, and from the fact that Lu Xuan was guilty, he knew that a new ally had been added today.

As for Li Li's wooing...... When he came out of the pit, he no longer expected the protection of others.

It is better to hope in others than in yourself.

For now, he at least has more freedom than the imperial grandson Li Jiao, who lives in the Hundred Sun Courtyard......
