At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to fight against the Turks, three surrendered cities were built between the Yellow River and Yinshan, namely the eastern, central and western surrendered cities.

The city of surrender is now the place where the Shuofang Festival envoy is located, and the site of the city is in the Jiuyuan City of the later generations, that is, Baotou.

In May, the Yellow River rose, and it was time for the imperial court to transport grain and grass, however, Zhang Qiqiu had sent several official letters to Chang'an and Taiyuan to urge, but there was no grain and grass to come.

On a hot afternoon, there were no boats on the Yellow River, but there was dust and smoke rising from the north, and more than ten Tang troops rode horses to the city of Zhongshou.

"The envoy of the Tiande army has come to meet the marshal!"

The soldiers guarding the city looked at it, and saw that the cavalry led by the team had a long beard and beautiful hair, and couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "I'm here to ask for food again...... Open the gates. ”

After a while, the city gate opened, and more than ten horsemen rushed in, heading straight to the mansion of Zhang Qiqiu, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.

In the mansion, Zhang Qiqiu was calculating grain and grass with Lu Bingjian, the judge of Jiedu, and discussing the matter of asking the court to transport grain.

"The imperial court replied and asked the Shuofang army to supplement grain and grass with military cantonments to reduce the expenses of the imperial court."

Zhang Qiqiu sighed: "Even if I have to wait for the army, I should make up for this year's rations first." ”

His face was depressed, his eyes were blank, and he looked somewhat absent-minded.

Since the defection of Abusi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Zhang Qiqiu failed to stop him in time, and has been punished by the imperial court several times, coupled with the fact that Hexi Jiedu has made An Sishun eye, he knows that he will definitely not be able to keep his official position. The reason why he is still worried about the food and grass of the soldiers is nothing more than "seeking his own government in his position", but in fact, he is already too busy to take care of himself.

Lu Bingjian was a middle-aged scribe, he didn't care much about his personal future, but he was more concerned about the emotions of the soldiers, frowned and thought, and said: "Last year, Li Linfu was delaying Shuofang's military rations. Now that the prime minister has changed, how is the relationship between the marshal and Yang Guozhong? ”

Zhang Qiqiu shook his head and said, "I'm not very familiar. ”

Lu Bingjian thought that Zhang Qiqiu had a friendship with Xue Bai, or he could take refuge in Yang Guozhong, but he couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, stroked his long beard, and thought about the solution to the problem in front of him.

"The imperial court spent five or six hundred thousand yuan on the grain in Taiyuan to support Zhenwu, Tiande, Lingwu, Yan, and Xia Zhujun. And Taiyuan refused to bring money and grain, which shows that the Taiyuan officials were instructed to help An Sishun plan for Shuo. Yang Guozhong, the right minister, has not yet mastered Taiyuan. ”

Seeing that he couldn't think of a better idea, Zhang Qiqiu said: "Absi defected, and the court will investigate it, but I will be held accountable." And if I make Shuofang have no food, it will be the soldiers who will be affected...... It's better for me to resign from the government and give up this position to An Sishun. ”

"No!"

Lu Bingjian was shocked and persuaded: "Wang Zhonghei was transferred to Nanzhao, and the commander was alone in the north. ”

Regardless of whether he sees An Lushan's ambitions, just looking at the situation of the military towns today, it makes people of insight uneasy.

Zhang Qiqiu is indeed facing a lot of pressure at the moment, but he has to bear it.

While they were discussing, a general came over outside the door and said, "Jie Shuai, the last general has military affairs to see." ”

Zhang Qiqiu pressed his knees and prepared to get up, his movements were a little slower, Lu Bingjian had already gotten up first, stepped forward, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a young general in armor and a sword.

"What?" Lu Bingjian asked.

"Poof."

As he spoke, a single knife pierced him in the abdomen.

"Zhang Qiqiu! You have unfairly distributed military rations, no wonder I am waiting to borrow your head to defect to the Turks! ”

The murderous general shouted, pulled out a knife from Lu Bingjian's abdomen, and swooped straight at Zhang Qiqiu.

Behind him were soldiers enraged by hunger, who had decided to go to Arbus.

~~

In the front hall of the Jiedu Embassy, Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Qiqiu, was receiving the visiting Tiande military envoys.

Zhang Yi was only transferred from Chang'an to Shuofang at the beginning of the year, and before coming to Shuofang, he was actually attached to the crown prince Li Heng, and was entrusted by Li Heng to persuade Zhang Qiqiu to support the East Palace.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Yang Guozhong, who has just served as the right minister, has no good impression of Zhang Qiqiu. The grain and grass of the Shuofang army could not be transported from Taiyuan for a long time, which may also be one of the reasons.

Zhang Yi saw very clearly that although the current situation of Donggong was not good, the future was immeasurable. If his grandfather can't keep the Shuofang Jiedu envoy position under the persecution of the An brothers, he can also recommend more generals to the East Palace in exchange for a powerful position in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Yi has been paying attention to the outstanding figures in the army recently. And this day the German military envoy is the one he cares about the most.

Tiande Army is actually the Hengsai Army that just became an army two years ago, Tianbao eight years Tang Army built Hengsai in the north of the city of Zhongshou 500 miles, with Guo Ziyi as the Hengsai military envoy, and later renamed Tiande Army.

Guo Ziyi was born in martial arts, and was appointed as the chief of the left guard with "exceptional" results, and then repeatedly made military merits and became a general that Zhang Qiqiu relied on very much. Zhang Yi has heard his name for a long time, and he has been looking forward to seeing it, and today he finally got his wish.

And when he rushed to the front hall and saw Guo Ziyi, it was a little different from what he imagined, less heroic than he imagined, and more old and casual.

Guo Ziyi was fifty-five years old at the time, and her long beard and beautiful hair had been dyed white by the years. He moved the stool to the pillar, leaned against the pillar and half-reclined, his gray beard facing the sky, his eyes closed, and although he was not asleep, he snorted loudly.

This snoring sound is extremely unpleasant, like a choked horn, sometimes whimpering, sometimes high-pitched, reckless, regardless of the lives of others.

"Is it General Guo?" Zhang Yi asked as he walked in.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Guo Ziyi opened his eyes. His eyes were large and flashing with wisdom, and the bags under his eyes were heavy, and he looked like he hadn't slept enough, but he was actually sleeping enough every day.

"It's not."

Zhang Yi was stunned.

"I lied to you." Guo Ziyi snorted, stood up, hugged his fists and said, "It's Guo Ziyi, is the festival commander going to see me?" ”

He was tall, more than six feet tall, which made Zhang Yi involuntarily raise his head.

"Grandpa is still handling military affairs, let me come to receive General Guo first."

Actually, Zhang Qiqiu didn't say that Guo Ziyi would wait, but Zhang Yi had the heart to talk to him for a while.

"I have heard the name of the general in Chang'an for a long time, and once at the funeral of the king of Ruyang, others asked me what kind of general Shuofang had, and I said......"

As she was talking, Guo Ziyi suddenly raised her hand and stopped Zhang Yi from speaking.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked over, and noticed that Guo Ziyi's ears were very big, and he was listening to something with his ears pricked up.

"General?"

"Something's wrong!"

Guo Ziyi swept away the old dragon bell of Fang Cai, turned around and beckoned the servants waiting outside the door, and said, "Wear armor, come with me!" ”

The group moved vigorously, fastened their armor, and noticed that the shouting of killing came from the backyard, and immediately rushed over there.

After passing a courtyard gate, a group of rebels was killing guards in the house, and after waving a knife, they turned their heads and glanced at Guo Ziyi.

"General Guo?"

Because of Guo Ziyi's military exploits and prestige accumulated in the past, this group of rebels was subconsciously frightened, took a few steps back, and explained: "We haven't received food for a long time. ”

"The food will come soon, and I have come to receive it." Guo Ziyi shouted, strode forward, ignored these rebels, and went straight to Zhang Qiqiu's location.

The rebels hesitated to stop him, swords, feet in hand, eager to try.

Guo Ziyi was fearless, ran past them, glared at them, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't go back yet? Aren't you afraid of being punished?! ”

With these words, he had already rushed out more than ten steps, and the rebels were really frightened by him, turned around and fled from the Jiedu Embassy.

Over there, Guo Ziyi led people through the corridor, and finally saw Zhang Qiqiu, who was covered in blood, running desperately.

"Counterinsurgency! Protect the festival handsome! ”

Although he only brought more than a dozen people, Guo Ziyi put on the momentum of leading a large army to quell the rebellion. His subordinates fought hard, and finally rescued Zhang Qiqiu and drove back the rebels who pursued Zhang Qiqiu.

"Ziyi." Zhang Qiqiu rushed forward, pulled Guo Ziyi with a bloody hand, and said, "They led their troops to defect to Li Xianzhong......

"I'll chase it!"

Guo Ziyi turned around to leave, but Zhang Qiqiu had already grabbed him and said, "It's too late, there is a conspiracy in this matter...... I can't keep the position of Shuo Fang Jiedu. In the future, I can only ask you. ”

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe there will be a turnaround."

Zhang Qiqiu shook his head, losing the courage to guard the border plug in the past, and sighed: "They are well prepared, how can they still allow us to turn around?" ”

~~

In June, Yang Yuhuan's birthday is still one of the biggest events in Chang'an City.

After that, the weather was getting hotter, and it was summer, Li Longji was impatient to stay in Chang'an, and he was ready to go to Huaqing Palace to stay for a while, so that he could bathe at any time.

It is warm to soak in the hot springs in winter and easy to bathe in summer, in short, it is comfortable to live in Huaqing Palace.

Xue Bai, as a scholar of the Middle School, drafted his will with the Son of Heaven, and he wanted to follow. He has been paying attention to whether he can find what Li Xiu said, the documents that Li Linfu read before he died, but unfortunately there is no eyeliner in the palace, maybe he can go and get it in person when the time comes.

The sage's ceremonial drive was already prepared, and before leaving Chang'an, Xue Bai was trying his best to familiarize himself with the affairs of Zhongshumen Province.

It is not easy to come to power. Others say that Chen Xilie is attached to Li Linfu and is the prime minister with no real power, but in fact, the seal itself is not a small power. For Xue Bai now, if he wants to get in touch with more will, he has to look at Chen Xilie's arrangement, and there is still a large part of his will, and even Chen Xilie can't be the master.

Xue Bai didn't have a special way, he was just cheeky and took the initiative to go to Chen Xilie for an errand.

Early in the morning, Chen Xilie arrived at Zhongshu Gate Province, and then walked to the front of the official house, only to see Xue Bai guarding under the corridor again, holding a book in one hand and reading a stone bell in the other.

This situation is like going back to the time when the two of them worked together as a secretary and supervisor.

"The left minister is here." Xue Bai put down the object in his hand, greeted casually, and said with a smile: "It seems that today is earlier than usual?" ”

"Xue Lang always stays in front of the old man's door, what do you mean?"

"I have just entered the province of Zhongshumen, and I am not familiar with official business, and I hope that Zuo Xiang can be assigned more."

Chen Xilie shook his head and sighed: "You, you are still so motivated. ”

"The left minister has won the prize."

"Come in."

Chen Xilie seemed to be so worn by Xue Bai that he couldn't help it, so he no longer refused, led him into the public office, let him wait outside, and he went into the inner room, slowly flipping through the official documents handed by the palace and the Ministry of Shangshu.

Xue Baizhi kept confidential documents that could only be read by the ruler, and he didn't look at them, he waited patiently, listening to the rustle of the scroll opening that sounded by chance, and thought to himself that Chen Xilie was really slow to do things.

After a long while, Chen Xilie came out with a few scrolls, and Xue Bai hurriedly stepped forward to take them.

"These are the official documents of Shuofang, Hexi, and Taiyuan Mansion, and these are the Shangshu Province, the Yushitai, and the right minister's recitals, which are the sage's central decree. You draft a will, and the old man will review it. ”

What happened in Shuofang had just reached Chang'an a few days ago, and Xue Bai had also heard about it.

This matter has actually been brewing for a long time, and now it has finally happened, and he is powerless to stop it, but he didn't expect the will of the imperial court to come down so quickly.

Looking at the purpose again, there is only one sentence on it -

"Zhang Qiqiu moved to Jiyin Taishou, and used the Hexi Festival to make An Sishun Quan know Shuo Fang Festival."

Xue Bai looked at it, was silent for a while, and asked, "Do I draw up a will based on this?" ”

"That's right." Chen Xilie stroked his beard.

"Okay."

Xue Bai picked up the inkstone and ink block, poured some water, and began to grind the ink, but his eyes were full of thought.

He didn't really think about anything, he just didn't know how to write such a decree.

Gradually, the ink is already thick.

Chen Xilie said: "You will count Zhang Qiqiu's crimes, indulge Li Xianzhong to escape, and unfairly distribute military rations; praised An Sishun's talent again, and ordered him to know Shuo Fang and quell Li Xianzhong's rebellion as soon as possible. ”

"Yes."

Xue Bai picked up the pen and wrote.

Although he felt that this matter was inappropriate, since he was a member of the Zhongshu House, he had to put aside his personal likes and dislikes, draw up his intentions without emotion, and complete his duties.

Suddenly, a holy decree was prepared, he handed it to Chen Xilie to look at, Chen Xilie looked at it and nodded again and again, and praised: "Xue Lang is worthy of being a champion, so let's transcribe it." ”

In fact, this kind of official document does not require literary talent, but it does not have to be a champion.

After completing this errand, Xue Bai can be regarded as having the experience of appointing important ministers in Xuanbian Town, and thanked Chen Xilie.

"The old man knows what you're thinking." Chen Xilie took out the seal, put it to his mouth and sighed twice, and said: "But don't worry, An Sishun has no shortage of talent and loyalty, and he can be appointed as the envoy of Shuo Fangjie." ”

After that, he stamped the seal in his hand, and with a "snap", his movements were smooth.

~~

Xue Bai walked out of Zhongshu Gate and went down to the province, still thinking about An Sishun in his mind.

As far as he knew, not only Li Linfu and Chen Xilie, but even Yang Guozhong also thought that An Sishun and An Lushan were at odds and could be subdued.

In other words, part of the reason why An Sishun can hold the festival of Hexi and Shuofang towns today is that he has a good reputation in the court, and everyone has a good opinion of him.

Chen Xilie's attitude made Xue Bai a little suspicious, whether his villain's heart was too vigilant against An Lushan's rebellion, and he was overly wary of An Sishun.

Just as he was about to leave the courtyard that belonged to Zuo Xiang, he stopped, walked to the unobtrusive corner next to him, and took out the scroll he was reading and looked at it.

After a while, the sound of conversation and footsteps came this way.

"It's wrong to think so, the relationship between Fujun and An Sishun is not good, and there are even grudges."

"I've heard they're cousins." A leaky voice said.

"When Fujun was more than ten years old, he remarried to the An family with his mother, and An Sishun often bullied him at that time, although he had the name of a brother, he was not a brother at all."

"In this way, if An Sishun takes power this time, it will not be good for us......"

It was Yang Qixuan who was still talking, as he spoke, he suddenly noticed a figure in the corner of the courtyard, looked at it, was shocked, and said without confidence: "It's you again?" ”

He was a little flustered, and Ji Wen hurriedly stroked his back with a hand and whispered, "What are you afraid of?" Can he beat you again? ”

As if with An Lushan's support, Yang Qixuan calmed down and said, "I'm just wondering, what did he do to get along with Zuo and probe the secrets of the imperial court?" ”

Xue Bai was amused by the appearance of the two of them, and beckoned, letting Ji Wen come forward to speak.

Ji Wen refused to go over, and looked at Xue Bai for a while, thinking that he had suffered from bad breath, and his weight in the heart of the saint was far inferior to Xue Bai. Now there is no need to confront him in the court, and when the time comes in the future, Xue Bai will just be a piece of fish on the knife.

He has a lot of big things to do.

Ji Wen then showed a disdainful smile and walked to Chen Xilie's official house, shouting that there was a secret to play, and asked the officials to drive out the "miscellaneous people".

Yang Qixuan followed behind, trying to take an arrogant step, but from time to time he turned his head to peek at Xue Bai to observe Xue Bai's reaction.

There are more and more harlequins in the court.

Xue Bai thought like this, recalling Fang Cai Ji Wen's reaction to his words, and the jealousy of An Sishun in his heart deepened again.

An Lushan's next step is bound to touch Hedong......

~~

The next day, Xue Bai discussed affairs at the Du family sisters and happened to meet Du Wulang, who was unofficial.

Du Wulang invited Xue Bai to live in Zhongnan Mountain with the attitude of giving it a try, and after being refused, he couldn't help complaining.

"You worry about a lot of things every day, I don't think the saints worry as much as you."

Although this is a big rebellion, it is indeed true, and in the afternoon of the same day, Xue Bai was summoned to enter the palace to play dominoes with the saint.

He seems to have given up the principle of not playing dominoes after entering the office, and devoted himself to the singing and dancing of this Tianbao Shengshi.

Walking into the palace gate, in front of the Calyx Xianghui Building, Xue Bai saw Jia Chang.

"It's rare that Xue Lang didn't enter the palace in court clothes." Jia Chang smiled, "I haven't come to play cards for some years, right?" ”

"Yes, maybe I haven't seen the god chicken boy for a long time, you look so good."

Jia Chang laughed and said, "I, I have less worries, eat and drink well, and my complexion is good." ”

Over the years, the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have changed like a lamplight, and among the people who were familiar to both of them back then, Wang Ji and Li Linfu have died, and Li Xiu has just been released from prison and is still recuperating, preparing to fill the army Longyou. Only Jia Chang has always lived freely.

"It's no wonder that everyone in Chang'an envies the god chicken boy, which is much better than the high-ranking officials and the power of the government and the opposition."

"Xue Lang can also do it, it's just that he is tired of talent."

The two chatted for a few words, and Jia Chang wanted to go to the chicken coop to arrange it first, so he said goodbye and left.

Xue Bai was about to take a step, but found that a woman in red was looking at him on the side, he was very familiar with her, but he didn't recognize her for a while, and then his eyes fell on the sword weapon in her hand, and then he remembered that this was the disciple of Gongsun Auntie, Li Twelve Niang.

"Huh? Don't remember me? Li Twelve Niang stepped forward with a sword and said, "I also saved your life." ”

She grew much taller, her eyebrows and eyes widened, and she became a tall and handsome woman.

Xue Bai smiled: "I know, I often hear that you and Ren Mulan are in trouble in Chang'an." ”

"If there is any trouble, who is talking nonsense."

"You're dancing the sword today?" Xue Bai noticed that there were more than twenty women in red standing not far away.

"Yes." Li Twelve Niang said, "You play dominoes in the hall, and we dance swords on the stage." ”

As she spoke, she muttered in a dissatisfied, "Few people watch it at all." ”

Xue Bai didn't bother to comment on these things in the palace, and wondered: "Why don't you see Aunt Gongsun?" ”

Li Twelve Niang looked around, got closer, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered: "Master is a little unhappy, you know?" The saint was afraid that people would suck his vitality and prevent the sick from seeing him. ”

Xue Bai had no comment on this and nodded.

They bypassed the Qinzheng Building and walked along the Dragon Pond for a while, not far from the Shen Xiang Pavilion, which was the Qingliang Palace.

This is more elaborate building than Wang Jie's self-rain pavilion, in addition to diverting water to cool down, but also digging an ice cellar underground, storing ice, faintly can also see the cold overflowing, like a fairyland.

The stage has been set up outside the hall, Li Twelve Niang and the disciples of Gongsun Auntie have come to the stage, and Xue Bai has been introduced into the hall, only to see that Li Longji has arrived first, holding a glass of cold wine and drinking.

Today, the other two players were a little unexpected by Xue Bai, one was Zhang Yan, and the other was Zhang Ting, the prince Liangdi.

There is a rather far-fetched coincidence, if Zhang Yan fell to An Lushan, Zhang Ting represents the East Palace, then Xue Bai can be regarded as a courtier who relies on Yang Guozhong to oppose these two forces. Of course, the things in the court will never be so clear, but it seems that a balance can be faintly seen.

This balance allows Li Longji to sit back and enjoy himself with peace of mind.

Soon, the crisp sound of dominoes colliding sounded in the Cool Hall.

Xue Bai's card skills are good and his movements are smooth, but he thought of a poem by Li Bai in his heart, the poem is very long, except for the first two sentences "Morning in the Forbidden City, Evening Waiting for the Golden Gate Edict", he also failed to memorize it, but he can empathize with Li Bai's state of mind.

There is also Li Mi, who really resigned from Hanlin without hesitation and went into hiding.

To Zhao Hanlin, in the scholars, these positions are the closest to the Son of Heaven, can be appointed to this position, often have "Shen Guan Yan talk, seek the emperor's art, strive for its wisdom, willing to be the auxiliary, so that the Huan District Dading, Haixian Qingyi" ambition, but after taking office, either write poetry, or cultivate, and then play cards.

While playing cards, Colliers stepped forward and whispered.

"Sage, the military department has a sealed document, and the prime ministers can't deal with it, so I want to ask the sage to adjudicate."

"Hmm."

Li Longji's hand was not good, so he beckoned Jia Chang to come over and replace him. Jia Chang didn't dare to sit on the couch, so he stood there with his bow and played his cards.

Xue Bai happened to be on the other side, and when he saw this scene, he thought to himself, the god chicken boy who made everyone in Chang'an envious was not so easy to be.

Over there, Li Longji has seen the twists and turns, but it is not a big deal.

It was only said that Wang Zhongji had returned to Beijing, and he was staying at the Meridian Post when he delivered the news, and the courtiers asked if he would let him take up the military department as soon as possible. This is a very small matter, and the reason why it was handed directly to the emperor was actually to ask the saint if he wanted to give Wang Zhonghei real power.

Li Longji raised his hand slightly, and Gao Lishi picked up a royal pen and handed it to him.

He then wrote Zhu Pi, and the grace Wang Zhonghei first recuperated from his illness, and then took up the military department after recovery.

Throwing this piece back to Colliers, Li Longji patted Jia Chang lightly, signaled him to get out of the way, and directly played a card, just waiting for the winning card.

"Xue Bai."

"The minister is here." Xue Bai was just about to eat Zhang Ting's cards, and he went to take the cards in his hand, and he responded respectfully.

"Wang Zhongji has returned to Beijing, you will go out of the city tomorrow to pick it up."

"Yes."

Li Longji's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that Xue Bai was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "You don't know that Wang Zhongji is going back to Beijing?" ”

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "After returning from Nanzhao, the minister saw Wang Jieshuai in Liangzhou, and he was seriously ill at that time. Chen didn't expect him to return to Beijing so soon. ”

"I don't know what will happen to you?"

"I don't know."

Xue Bai responded and played a card casually, Zhang Ting originally wanted to touch it, and according to her temperament, she dared not let the saint at the card table. But she didn't dare to come forward at this time, for fear that the saint would think that the prince had a deep friendship with Wang Zhonghe.

So, Zhang Ting silently dismantled the cards that originally wanted to be Hu.

But before she played her cards, she found that Xue Bai glanced at her, and her eyes were a little clear. She felt a chill down her spine and realized that Xue Bai had calculated the cards, and deliberately played a card that she wanted to Hu to test her courage.

~~

It's night, Shaoyang-in.

"Your brother-in-law is going back to court."

Zhang Ting said the news he heard while playing cards, and said, "The sage ordered Xue Bai to go out of the city to pick it up." ”

Li Heng has become more and more unsmiling in recent years, and his temperament has become much deeper, and when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he muttered: "The saint is balancing the power of the border town." ”

"How so?"

"The two important ministers he favors the most are nothing more than spit pots and miscellaneous beards. In the court, the spit pot is more powerful, and in the border town, Zahu has a strong army. The sage was also worried that after the change of prime minister, the imperial court would not be able to command the border towns. Therefore, let An Sishun concurrently serve as Shuo Fang. ”

Zhang Ting was puzzled: "An Sishun is a person who spits pots?" ”

"To have this appointment, at least it means that An Sishun is heart is in the imperial court." Lee Hyung-do.

"But isn't he a cousin of Zahu?"

"They are cousins, and the two have always had a grudge."

Zhang Ting asked, "What does this have to do with Wang Zhonghe?" ”

Li Heng said: "The righteous brother also has an enmity with Zahu, so naturally he wants to stand on the side of the spittle...... If there is Xue Bai mediated. ”

"What about us? The East Palace is the closest to Wang Zhonghe. ”

Li Heng showed a helpless wry smile and said, "Do you know why the saint said this in front of you?" ”

Zhang Ting was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he said, "The sage is warning us? ”

"yes." Li Heng sighed.

Looking at the current situation, he estimated that Li Longji was increasing his authority to Yang Guozhong, and only by doing this well could the new prime minister continue to maintain the stability of the society like Li Linfu.

And he, the crown prince, can only watch from the deep palace and see others in power.

Li Heng couldn't help but sigh: "Sitting and watching the anglers, there is nothing to envy the fish." ”

(End of chapter)
