Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Joke of the World

A few months later, in Luoyang, Xinwangfu, today Li Xuantong can be said to be in good spirits, why? Because in February of a few years, his father Li You finally secretly wrote to the Holy Lord with him under his persuasion, admonishing the palace maid Yuan to plot poisoning and murdering the Holy Lord with Princess Taiping, as well as the grandson of Li Deliang, the king of Xinxing County, and the military general Chang Yuankai and Princess Taiping's attempt to conspire with Princess Taiping. In fact, when his father heard this at the beginning, he scolded Li Shutong for being a cheating son, but when he heard that Zuo Chengzhang, the Shangshu in Luoyang, and Shi Cui Riyong, the governor of Jingzhou, had plans to persuade Xuanzong, and he also planned to give it a hand, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. In the end, under the persuasion of many people, Li Longji actually killed Princess Taiping's family a month ahead of schedule. And his father also suddenly changed, from an heir without any real power to a saint cronies like Li Fan, King of Qi, and Li Ye, King of Xue. At this moment, Li You had not returned to the house, and when he heard the content of the holy decree, he was happy. In a hurry, he hurried back, eager to grow a pair of wings and fly back. With such a big benefit, can Li Xuantong not be happy.

At this moment, Li Xuantong was still in charge of the Xinwang Mansion, he sat in the most luxurious room of the entire mansion and drank a sip of fine pear blossom tea, looked at the slender man in front of him, smiled evilly, hooked his hand and signaled her to come over. His father added an official to the knighthood, and Li Xuantong, who went to school with him, naturally also made some benefits, although he didn't get any official position because of his talent, but he got the qualification to enter Taixue for further study and two boxes of jewelry and antiques, and there are more than 20 pretty palace maids, and this beauty in front of him is one of them.

When the woman heard this, she walked forward with a smile and small steps, and as soon as she got close, Li Xuantong took her into his arms, feeling the plump on the buttocks (I took the waist and the buttocks also had to be shielded), and the woman was shy, not daring to look at his face. I have to say that the women in the palace are different, their nutrition is better than that of the people in his house, and both their breasts and buttocks are quite well developed. Li Xuantong couldn't put it down for a long time before he stopped, hooked her chin with his left hand, stared at her face and said, "What's your name?"

The maid said obediently: "Back to the master, the cheap maid's name is Yilan." ”

"Oh, Yilan," Li Xuantong nodded, and said with a smile, "Do you know that King Qi has a little hobby, which is called fragrant skin and hand warming?"

Yilan glared and shook her head, "I don't know." ”

Li Xuantong put his mouth into her ear and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, he doesn't use charcoal to warm his hands every winter, but puts his hand into the arms of the young maid in the family to warm up. As he spoke, he put his hand into Yilan's arms and ravaged it wantonly. (I really didn't make this up, Li Fan, the king of Qi, he really has this hobby...) οΌ‰

However, Yilan didn't need to resist, and let Li Xuantong wantonly ask for it, but when Li Xuantong finished playing, she glanced at his handsome face and glanced at it shyly. To her, she is just a palace maid who lets others play with her, and instead of waiting for the old King Shin to come back and spoil it, it is better to let this young and handsome prince His Royal Highness taste it first, anyway, she is also very happy.

Seeing that the maid named Yilan did not resist, Li Xuantong suddenly lost interest, and said in his heart: "Oh, you want to refuse and welcome twice, so that you can have fun." When the maid saw him like this, she immediately understood her master's intentions, pretended to be unhappy, and said a few words: "I hate it, don't be like this." Something like that, with a few pushes with his left hand, Li Xuantong suddenly became interested and flirted, just as he was about to rip off her clothes and eat this beauty into his mouth. A cough interrupted him: "Ahem, His Royal Highness the Prince is so in such a good mood in the daytime." Li Xuantong turned his head to look, this person was none other than Wu Jiansheng, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and stood up, asked Yilan to go down, and patted her waist branch when he left, saying, "Come back in the evening, remember to call Qianxiang together." ”

And when the maid heard that he was going to sleep with him, she did not have a trace of anger, but just gave her a blank look and turned away.

After Yilan went down, Li Xuantong said respectfully: "Yo, Mr. Wu, you are here, this time my father can be promoted to the rank of knight, and it all depends on your deduction of credit." Twenty women were sent to the palace, all of them are quite beautiful, or I will call them all out and you can pick one. However, Li Xuantong laughed: "You can't touch Yilan and Qianxiang." ”

Wu Jiansheng was really angry and jealous when he saw this scene: Made, I want Xiao Pian to be sincere and wholeheartedly to her, for fear that I will be angry with her again. It's good that you have a good face and are half-hearted every day, but the girls who follow you don't have any resentment on their faces. Hearing that he was going to give himself a woman sent by the palace, he waved his hand and said, "No need." "As a person from the era when all layers of membranes were about to raise the price of capital to the Tang Dynasty, Wu Jiansheng is more or less a virgin complex. And as for the cleanliness of the women who came out of the palace (official brothel)... (I really don't mean to discriminate against women, I'm just reprimanding this impetuous society, kneeling and begging not to punch)

"Okay, so how do you want me to thank me?"

Wu Jiansheng laughed: "You don't have to thank me too much for this, your father's luck also accounts for a large part." is also on the book to help the saint speak, look at Wei Anshi, because he didn't grasp the opportunity to make a statement, the saint forgot about him, and now he is still suffering in Puzhou. and offended Taichangqing Jiang Jiao, and there was no chance to turn over. He's not in good health, and I think he'll die of grief next year. Wu Jiansheng really didn't have self-humility, because the New Tang Dynasty Book is the history book of the Song Dynasty after all, and he doesn't know how much he remembers it after so many years, but he doesn't know how much he remembers, in fact, this time he is also gambling, and he won the bet to eat and drink spicy food with His Royal Highness the Prince. Did you lose the bet, hey, anyway, his father has already gone to Cangzhou, so it's a big deal to go over together.

When Li Xuantong heard him say this, he laughed: "Hey, Mr. Wu, don't be humble, I have asked the people in the palace who know about it, the time, place, and process of the Shengshang's illness you said are almost all the same as what you said, but the days are a little worse." Knowing that on the seventh day, Li Lingyue fled from the temple to her home. Mr. Wu, you really think you are a genius, and I am now empowered by the Daigo that I admire you.

Wu Jiansheng nodded, and said in his heart: Fortunately, the development of history has not changed much because of me, and I can still rely on predicting the future for a period of time in the future. Alas, wait, seven days? Isn't it three days? That's too much difference, isn't it, forget it, no matter how much? So he said, "Your Royal Highness, put aside the reward in advance, and let's get down to business first." ”

Li Xuantong said: "Okay, you say, is there anything to find me?"

Wu Jiansheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't you send someone last night to say that you had something to look for me?"

Li Xuantong thought about it and patted his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I was indeed looking for you, but I forgot to play with Asauka yesterday." ”

Wu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed: I, Cao, was it right or wrong for me to follow them at the beginning, and why did I get carried away as soon as I got some rewards? You must know that Prime Minister Zhang Shuo, who was also one of the heroes who killed Princess Taiping, was later impeached and lost his official position because of his bad temper. You father and son are both high-eyed and low-minded, and you are still small, as for Li Xuantong, you guy, I thought you were a scheming person when I was on the boat last time. How do you know that when you have a little money, you will be exposed, you look like a nouveau riche, you don't even have a serious official position, what's the matter?

Li Xuantong took out two letters and said: "One of these two letters is from Zhang Nianxin and Miss Zhang, she said that she followed your instructions and found Yang Xuanyan in Chengdu, but he has not yet married and is not a Shuzhou household. In addition, she is now on the way to find her father's comrades-in-arms in the Longyou Army, so why are you asking her to find an official from Shuzhou?"

Wu Jiansheng sighed in his heart: Alas, sure enough, I said that the timeline is not right. β€”β€”β€”Thinking of this, Wu Jiansheng said excitedly: "Your Royal Highness, you quickly reply to her and tell her that Tubo will invade Longyou next year, let her be very careful, and pay more attention to a man named Wang Haibin, he is an envoy of Anfeng, and next year he will have a catastrophe that is enough to lose his life." Tell her to save ...... if she can. His corpse, and make it easier for her to find someone. Wu Jiansheng just wanted to say that he would save his life, but in the end, after thinking about Wang Zhonghe's growth experience, he changed his words and became a corpse.

Now the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is quite close and even about to be reconciled, but Li Xuantong has no doubt about what Wu Jiansheng said since Princess Taiping was punished, and he obeyed his words and immediately sent someone to handle it. It's just that he was a little surprised that he would care so much about another official who was far away, although Wang Haibin was indeed famous for his martial power at this time.

After solving Zhang Nianxin's problem, Li Xuantong said with some embarrassment: "Is this second letter, well, it was written by Dugu Feng of the Dugu family, she apologized to me for her rudeness on the boat at the time, and now she is going back to Luoyang to be elected, I hope I can let my father help take care of it, what do you say I should do?" Speaking of which, it should be Li Xuantong who apologized in this matter, because he kept saying that he fell in love with Dugu Feng at first sight. As a result, as soon as he heard that she was not a concubine, he saved her face without saying a word, and got on the boat without saying a word, and did not even give the gift he promised to give her, so it is no wonder that he was a little embarrassed.

When Wu Jiansheng heard this, he said in his heart: This matter is a little difficult to do. Among Xuanzong's concubines, whether it was Yang Guifei (not Yang Yuhuan), who was named Empress Yuanxian after her death in the early days, or Empress Wang, Concubine Wu Hui, the famous Yang Yuhuan, the legendary Concubine Mei, the not-so-famous Concubine Wei Shun, Concubine Hua and others, and even a Persian woman who was fortunate to be by him, as long as there is a little bit of deeds, there are basically records. And this Dugu Feng has no record in the history books. That means that she either did not enter the palace, or after entering the palace, she had no heirs, and she was not lucky, so she lived her life lonely and lonely. And thinking of the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong fled Chang'an City in a hurry with hundreds of people, and the fate of those who did not have time to escape and stayed in the palace, the fate of Dugufeng after entering the palace is also imaginably tragic. Although Wu Jiansheng didn't see her much, it could be seen from her attitude towards Xue Qing and Zhang Nianxin that she was a gentle woman, and he didn't want to watch Dugu Feng fall into the fire pit like this. And what if you ignore her? That is not to admit the love of the Dugu family, how can the Dugu family also be an old family inherited from the previous dynasty, it is better not to offend if you can not offend. So he had to say: "Alas, this His Royal Highness, you can do it, I have deduced, she will not do much when she enters the harem." You can help her, but you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Okay, come here," Li Xuantong called a confidant and said, "You find someone to take me to write back to Miss Dugu and tell her that I will do my best." In addition, remember to fill her with a pear cake from Jing Bao Zhai in her return gift. ”

Wu Jiansheng asked, "Why did you give her pear crisp? Isn't that the implication?"

Li Xuantong sat down and took another sip of tea, and said: "You don't know, I carefully observed when she took care of Miss Zhang, and the stewed pear soup that was not sent in was two servings, which shows that he himself is also very fond of pastries made of pears." ”

Wu Jian said in his heart: "Damn, why are you so careful about women? No wonder the maids in the family who were taken advantage of by you are not dissatisfied." ”

"Oh, that's right," Li Xuantong took a list and said, "After these things are done, I still have one more thing to look for you, that is, the pile of Shu brocade, because the saint has rewarded a bunch of things, these Shu brocades can no longer be placed, and I have now rented a warehouse and put them all there." Every inch of land in Luoyang is expensive, and it is easy to be discovered, so it is not a way to go on like this. ”

Wu Jiansheng exclaimed: "Ah, isn't it, I asked you to dispose of it quickly last year, why are you still in the mansion?"

Li Xuantong pouted: "Such a large batch of things are still official goods, who dares to accept them? ”

Wu Jiansheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mind, I don't have anyone to receive on the black market, and I don't dare to ask for this batch of hot yams." ”

"Ahem," Li Xuantong coughed a few times and said, "Okay, okay, don't mention this, I have a plan now, that is, to expand the Xinwang Mansion!!"

Wu Jiansheng suddenly felt his head buzzing, "Isn't it, Li Lingyue has just been sentenced for a long time, and the Holy Lord has not yet expanded the harem, so you are thinking about expanding your palace?"

"Hehe, anyway, it's the money sent by those people who came to talk to my father, and I don't feel sorry. ”

Wu Jiansheng glanced at him and said: Look at you. "What, listen to my advice to change your name back to Li Shutong first, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat when you collide with the Shengshang Temple in the future..."

A few days ago, in the mountains outside Chang'an City, in a tunnel under Fulong Temple, suddenly, a group of masked black-clothed people appeared and lit candles, and then greeted a woman and walked down from the tunnel entrance. I saw that she was wearing a graceful and gorgeous golden palace dress with a bare chest and back, and her figure was plump and attractive. The wide forehead, the bridge of the nose, and a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes not only did not make her look old, but added a bit of charm. Although her appearance is not beautiful, she reveals a noble and elegant posture all over her body, but there is a trace of obscenity between her eyebrows that does not match her. I saw that she herself was disheveled at the moment, her hair was messy, and she was very embarrassed, but her steps were extremely light. When he reached a hall, he said to his subordinates behind him unquestionably, "How is it, are you ready for what I said?" The man behind him waved his hand, and the other two subordinates brought up a woman, and I saw that she and the older beautiful woman were almost identical in appearance and temperament, and at this moment they happened to look at the leading beautiful woman with a smile. The beautiful woman took her chin and looked at it carefully, and smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it's exactly the same, Phantom Hime, this time you really want to give your life to my good nephew, are you afraid?"

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but lose a trace of color, the expression on her face became even more debauched, and she laughed unscrupulously: "The life of the slave family has always belonged to Her Royal Highness the princess, and Her Royal Highness can deal with it as he wants, even if he wants to cut off the head of the slave family now, the slave family has no complaints." ”

The beautiful woman sneered, "I don't need you to die now, take her down, change into my clothes, and teach her the words I left behind." ”

"Yes," the two men took the order and went down with her.

When the woman who looked the same as her went down, the beautiful woman waved her hand and called, "Xue Zhiqing." ”

One person stepped forward, bowed down and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

"After I left, how my good nephew treated the people in my house. ”

Xue Zhiqing said with some sadness: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, except for the second prince Chongjian's family, including the county lord of Yonghe, everyone within the county lord of Wanquan has been beheaded, Lord Chang Yuankai and Lord Li Ci were killed by Li Longji's soldiers as soon as they went out before they could raise their troops, Lord Dou Huaizhen jumped into the city tower to commit suicide, and the emperor ordered him to whip his body and change his family's surname to poison and send them to Lingnan. Because the incident happened too suddenly, and Chen Yunlin looked at the palace too closely. We failed to save a few sons, only Lord Dou's family. ”

"Xun'er, Min'er, you, you... I hurt you......" Although she had been prepared in her heart, although years of struggle for power and profit in the court had made her gradually indifferent to the idea of family affection, but when she heard that her children had died because of herself, she was still extremely sad, and couldn't help but close her eyes and let two lines of tears fall.

Seeing that the master was so sad, Xue Zhiqing arched his hand: "Your Highness, the second prince is not dead yet, and now that he is being sent to Xizhou, we can..."

"No need," the beautiful woman stretched out her hand to stop him: "Don't let Chong'er get involved in the grievances between me and Li Longji anymore, let him live his life in peace." ”

"Well, yes..."

Knowing the fate of her family, Li Lingyue's face became cold, and she said in a cold voice: "Why did this operation leak so much, suddenly, Li Longji and he even knew who I was going to send to take the lead in raising troops, so I didn't even have a little room for maneuver." ”

Xue Zhiqing arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, our people in the court have recently sent a message, and the excerpt of the letter king Li You is very strange, and it is just speculation that you are going to make trouble in other letters, but only he swears, and it seems that he has insight into everything." ”

"Isn't it Guo Yuanzhen and Zhang Shuo, these two old immortals?" Li Lingyue thought for a while, and finally turned out the memories about him from his memory, and said contemptuously: "Heh, it turned out to be the guy who followed my brother to live a hard life in Fangzhou for a few years and was crowned king." He was so frightened that Cangzhou didn't dare to come back, how could he know what happened in Chang'an? There must be a hidden truth behind this. ”

"Then, Your Highness Princess," another person stepped forward and said, "Where should we go now, there are still our strongholds in Shangluo, Yuejianchi and other places, should we concentrate our forces on a counterattack in Chang'an." ”

"No," Li Lingyue's face was like frost, and she said three words: "Go to Xiangzhou." ”

(Speaking of an individual, I checked it today, there is really a person Li Tongxuan in history, and he is indeed a Tang Dynasty clan, and he is also a cultivator, and he is basically the same era as Li Xuantong in my book.) This......... Am I crooked? It's too coincidental, and if I can, I'll try to combine the person in my book with Li Tongxuan. οΌ‰
