After a while, Bai Wuchang, Ye Hongmei, Hua Yu, Xiaorui, Wang Dahai, and Liu Qingqing came over with Bai Yanzhi and Liu Zhaoxue one after another.

Everyone had breakfast, Bai Yanzhi and Liu Zhaoxue heard Qi Tian say that they wanted to enter the palace, and they shouted together to go. Liu Qingqing said: "The inner courtyard of the palace is not a place for children to mess around. ”

Liu Zhaoxue puffed out her cheeks and said, "Godfather's words don't count, and he said that he came back and took us to play." Liu Qingqing said: "Your godfather has something to do when he enters the palace, but he is not going to play." ”

Seeing that his brother was lost and aggrieved, Qi Tian smiled and said, "Godfather took you into the palace, but you have to be obedient, and you can't run around when you go." ”

Bai Yanzhi and Liu Zhaoxue nodded again and again as if chickens were pecking rice. Liu Qingqing said: "Little Master Hou doesn't have to get used to them. ”

Bai Wuchang said: "Since the apprentice has gone, the master has to accompany him." Qi Tian thought that you were going to go, and when you played with your temperament and made trouble, it would be no better than being on the rivers and lakes, and said with a smile: "With you accompanied, you can rest assured that your precious apprentice will be indispensable." ”

Bai Wuchang understood what he meant, he was afraid that he would cause trouble, and according to his past nature, others didn't let him go, so he just wanted to go. But he has recently lost his siblings, and his life is hopeless, and all his thoughts have been lost, but suddenly there is a successor, and that wood-like heart is not only burning hope, but also feeling much calmer, nodding and saying: "That Lao Bai sent you into the palace and waited for you at the gate of the palace." ”

Since people compromised, it was inconvenient for Qi Tian to refute him. Wang Dahai said: "Let the little one send the Hou Ye into the palace." Qi Tian also nodded, in addition to good wine, this person's skills are really first-class.

Li Fengxia accompanied her out of the house. Qi Tian took his mother's hand and said, "Mother, you go back." Li Fengxia said: "It's okay to go back, I'll send you again." ”

Qi Tian smiled bitterly: "The child entered the palace this time, not to go out, and he will come back soon." Li Fengxia and her son entered the palace, not from home, so they reluctantly went back.

When the carriage arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Wang Dahai remembered the explanation on the Qitian Road and stopped from afar. Brothers Bai Yanzhi and Liu Zhaoxue, as soon as they were carried out of the carriage by the master, they spread their legs and ran to the Vermilion Bird Gate with cheers.

Yu Linjun, who was guarding the door, saw it and shouted loudly: "Whose wild boy is this, who came to the Vermilion Bird Gate to spread wild, but he is tired of being alive?" Bai Wuchang was anxious to protect the calf, and his brows furrowed, and he was about to have a seizure.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Tian hurriedly said: "The seniors are waiting for us here." He rushed forward, took the token prepared by his mother, handed it over, and said, "Master Jun is angry." ”

The sergeant who shouted took it, but it was a bronze medal with a tiger head sign, which was inscribed with "Imperial Gift", he flipped it over, and the other side was inscribed with the words "Yongfeng Hou", and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "The small Yulin Army has seen Hou Ye above the head of the halberd of the German commander. ”

Qi Tian looked around, the Yulin Army guarding the Vermilion Bird Gate, there were a total of sixteen people, twice as many as before, and looking at these sixteen people, none of them were familiar, and they couldn't help but wonder secretly.

He entered the imperial city from the Vermilion Bird Gate, and when he arrived at the Chengtian Gate, the number of Yulin troops guarding him was three times larger, and none of them knew each other. Huaihua Sige, who was on the eighth grade, said: "Wait for the master to wait, and wait for the next report." ”

Qi Tian said abruptly: "This Hou Tang gave 'Yongfeng Hou', the son of the eldest princess and the concubine, and the grandson of the king." When you meet the emperor, do you still have to report it? Seeing the face of the military master, will the newcomer ignore the rules in vain?"

That Huaihua Sige said: "Hou Ye is angry, last night there were rebels who broke into the Taiji Palace at night, intending to assassinate and disturb the holy driver. The champion general has an order, for the safety of the saint, no matter who enters the Taiji Palace, he will be notified in advance. ”

Qi Tian was shocked, he had just returned to Beijing yesterday, and he had a stab in the palace at night, he thought of his father's words, but he was afraid that it was not a coincidence.

The Huaihua Sige went in to pray, and came out with an apologetic face after a while: "I'm really sorry, the emperor hasn't gotten up early, and the last general won't dare to worry about the holy drive, or wait for the master to come back next time." ”

Qi Tian was even more suspicious, and the inner courtyard of the palace was generally delivered by the eunuchs, and it was the turn of the military generals to announce it? Moreover, now that the early dynasty has just passed, people say that the emperor has gone to bed early and has not gotten up. It's just that people say so, although he is a relative of the emperor, he doesn't dare to trespass, and said lightly: "I'm waiting for the emperor to wake up." ”

The Huaihua Sige's face changed slightly, and he said, "Then the Hou Ye will please." Qi Tian stopped answering, pulled Yanzhi and Zhaoxue, sat down on the steps, and asked, "You listened to Guoziyan, what lesson did you listen to, and what did you learn?"

Liu Zhaoxue said: "I just finished listening to the "Shangshu" 'multi-faceted'. Qi Tiandao: "The following is 'Lizheng'." Come on, godfather will recite it first, you two listen well. Immediately sank into the dantian, and chanted loudly: "Zhou Gong made "Lizheng". Zhou Gongruo said: 'Bow to the head of the hand and tell the heir of the Son of Heaven. He said to the king with a salty precept: 'The king is left and right, and he is always in charge, and he is a quasi-person, and he is clothed and clothed. ’......”

He was full of energy, and his voice was transmitted, as if it were in his ears, and he could hear it from afar. After a while, a silver-haired eunuch came out with a frown, and said, "It's too early in the morning, who is making noise outside." ”

That Huaihua Sige's face changed color, could it be that Yongfeng Hou's "Lizheng" in Chengtianmen was heard even in the Taiji Palace? The distance between the two was several miles, and his voice could be delivered, and the depth of his internal strength was simply incredible.

Qi Tian was familiar with the voice, looked back, and said happily: "It's Gonggong Jiang." That made Jiang Gonggong stunned and said, "But...... Is it Yongfeng?"

Qi Tian said: "It's Qi Tian." Father-in-law Jiang was overjoyed and said: "The little Hou Ye has returned to Beijing? The emperor often thinks of you? He turned around and hurried away.

That Huaihua Sige glanced at one of the guards next to him. The man understood, and went secretly. After a while, Gonggong Jiang rushed out and shouted at the top of his voice: "The emperor has an order, and Yongfeng will immediately go to Anren Hall to see him." ”

Qi Tian's right knee was slightly bent, and he was about to kneel down to thank him. Gonggong Jiang shouted again: "The emperor also said that between our nephews and uncles, those etiquette sets will be completely exempted from him, and he will not be more restrained, and he will not come to see me in the future." ”

Qi Tian had no choice but to stand up and said, "Weichen thanks Lord Longen." After Gong Jiang finished announcing the message, he said: "Little Hou Ye quickly go with the old slave, and the emperor can wait in Anren Palace." ”

Qi Tiandao: "Xiaohou also has two godsons, they are clamoring to come to the palace, and they also ask Jiang Gong to watch and walk around in an unimportant place." ”

Father-in-law Jiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, the old slave will arrange it." "Lead the three of Qi Tian to enter from the Chengtian Gate, go through the Jiade Gate, pass through the Taiji Gate, and turn in from the Right Yanming Gate, call two eunuchs on the road, and hand over Bai Yanzhi and Liu Zhaoxue to them.

The two little eunuchs saw that the chief steward explained again and again, saying that they were the people of the royal mansion and must serve them well, and they led Yanzhi and Zhaoxue to retire with fear.

Gonggong Jiang led Qi Tian into the Suzhang Gate, bypassed the Baifu Palace, and came to the outside of the Anren Palace. Father-in-law Jiang didn't have time to say goodbye, and a hurried voice inside said: "But it's time, come in quickly." ”

Qi Tian straightened his clothes and stepped in, an old man in his fifties, leaning on the dragon bed, his sideburns were slightly frosty, his eyes were slightly sunken, his face was yellow, and his spirit was extremely sluggish. The one who can lie on the dragon bed is Li Zhizhong, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhizhong's eyes lit up, a trace of brilliance flashed on his face, and he said happily: "But Tian'er, come over and let me take a good look." ”

Qi Tian approached according to his words, kneeling down and not speaking. Li Jiye said: "I just let Jiang Cai pass the word, no need to be formal, why did you kneel again?" Qi Tiandao: "When you see the emperor, you can be exempted, and when you see your uncle, the gift is indispensable." There was a knock.

Li Zhizhong laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's still me...... Oh, my God...... Days. He was agitated, panting in his chest and coughing.

Gonggong Jiang hurriedly stepped forward: "The emperor takes care of the dragon body." Li Zhizhong waved his hand slightly and said, "I'm fine." It's rare to return to Beijing in the future, you guys retreat first, let's have a good chat, and everything will be avoided for the time being. ”

Gonggong Jiang and several palace maids in the palace went down together. Li Zhizhong moved his body inward, patted the side of the bed, and said, "Let's sit down and talk." I want the eldest princess to know that I let his precious son kneel and answer, but I am afraid that he will not enter the palace for less than a year. ”

Qi Tian stood up and said in a panic: "Tian'er just stand and reply." "Even if my uncle is open-minded, but the emperor's dragon chair, under the whole world, who dares to trespass?

Li Zhizhong knew what he meant, his face darkened, and he said, "You came back just in time, and I have a big event to tell you." Do you know who gave you that name?"

Qi Tiandao: "Tian'er heard from her mother that the name Tian'er was given by the emperor. Li Zhizhong asked, "Then do you know the meaning of your name?"

Qi Tian hesitated: "I think the emperor loves Tian'er, and he uses it as a metaphor to live with Tian'er, hoping that Tian'er will live longer." Li Zhizhong said: "Your name, I gave it to you, it is the eight-character inscription on the jade seal of the country." ”

Qi Tian was shocked, sweating profusely, he didn't even dare to breathe, and there was silence in the Anren Palace, only his own heartbeat, like beating drums. Li Zhizhong said slowly: "Since you live forever, you are ordered by heaven." This is the origin of the name Qi Tian and Yongfeng Hou. ”

Qi Tian was startled just now, and he was only uneasy, this shock was only frightened, his face was colorless, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting to ask for forgiveness, a thousand words, but not a single word was enough to express it.

Li Zhizhong sighed and said, "The world of the Tang Dynasty should be your Qi family's country." I still have no heirs, and it is also the destiny of heaven to return this country to your Qi family. ”

Qi Tian sweated like rain, and said with sincere fear: "The emperor has been in the middle of thousands of years, and the spring and autumn are prosperous, and he will have a ...... descendants."

Li Zhizhong stopped and said: "My body knows by itself, and I can't even stand your father if I think of it." This Tang Dynasty is afraid that it will also die. Sometimes I think about it, my heart is full of unwillingness, but sometimes I think about it, throughout the dynasties, there has never been a long-term dynasty, the death of the second and the death of the twentieth generation, it is inevitable to change the dynasty. ”
