Chang'an Miyagi.

Emperor Li Yan was on the dragon boat in the West Inner Garden, playing with a group of eunuchs and palace maids. The game is not a novel game, it is just a pot throwing, everyone forms a big circle, there is a blue glazed vase in the center of the circle more than a dozen steps away, and a few scattered feather arrows are inserted in it, and there are more than a dozen scattered feather arrows outside the vase.

At this time, it was the turn of a plump and beautiful palace maid, and she lost several cigarettes in succession and failed to miss, and there was immediately a burst of laughter around her. Li Yan, who was sitting on the Hu bed with Erlang's legs crossed, just took a sip of wine, and when he saw that the palace maid who pouted was very cute, he immediately laughed: "Admit punishment and accept punishment, if you don't hit five sticks, you will be punished with three glasses of wine, come and drink!"

The palace maid looked very annoyed on her face, but in fact, there was a hint of success in her eyes, she came to the Hu bed and knelt down step by step, looking up at Li Yan pitifully: "Your Majesty can let the concubine drink one less glass, if you drink three cups at once, the concubine will definitely get drunk, then you can't serve Your Majesty." ”

Li Yan was very happy, waved his hand and ordered someone to serve the wine glass: "You can't drink it all at once, you can drink it slowly, I have time, don't worry." ”

The palace maid drank two cups slowly, covered her forehead and staggered, her waist was bent, and her delicate body leaned on Li Yan's legs. Seeing that Li Yan was not angry, the palace maid plucked up the courage and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not very drunk, please punish Your Majesty for the crime......"

"It's all right, come, come and sit on it, and I'll forgive you for your innocence. Li Yan laughed, took advantage of the situation to pick up the palace maid who got up, and her hands were already restless.

When the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids saw this scene, they didn't have any surprises, obviously they were used to it. Only the two palace maids who were proud of their good posture were full of envy and jealousy in their eyes at the moment, and in the blink of an eye, they laughed and continued to play games, so as to find an opportunity to sit next to the emperor.

Although the emperor is an ungoverned emperor and his situation can be described as miserable, these palace maids are the playthings in the hands of the emperor at any time, even if the emperor is no longer qualified to deal with political affairs. In this deep palace, if you can't be favored by the emperor, then you have nothing, and you have been favored by the emperor, at least in the circle in the palace, you can still raise your eyebrows, and you can eat and drink.

They can't take care of things outside the palace, and they are not qualified to take care of them.

From time to time, a young and clever eunuch came to Li Yan's side, leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Qi, please see." ”

Li Yan immediately became relevant, his restless hand also left the warm and soft place, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to be gone, "Let him come over." ”

"Yes. ”

When the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids heard that King Qi was coming, they all consciously stopped playing frolicking, and retreated to the side in two rows, bowing their eyebrows, breathing cautiously, and the fear could not be concealed on their faces.

Li Yan caught a glimpse of everyone's posture as if they were gods, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, and in an instant, he burned fiercely, and his eyes became resentful and violent. However, it was only in a blink of an eye, he was like pouring cold water on someone's head, and there was no resentment, only deep sadness and helplessness.

Li Maozhen has already stepped onto the dragon boat.

King Qi, dressed in a royal robe, has a slender figure and a majestic spirit, walks with his hands in his hands, his steps are not hurried or slow, and he has a bearing of dominating the world in his life. In comparison, even if Li Yan is sitting upright at the moment, he has no energy, and his appearance is really not on the stage.

"Minister Li Maozhen, see Your Majesty!" Li Maozhen was as polite as she was in courtesy, her movements were meticulous, and her voice was neither light nor heavy.

"Ai Qing is flat. Li Yan opened his mouth lightly, with a pretentious and unconfident majesty between his words, and before the other party stood up, he immediately asked: "Aiqing entered the palace, what happened?"

Standing between the warbler Yanyan and the beardless eunuch, Li Maozhen is like a starry night and a bright moon, dazzling.

He seems to be in order, but in fact, his eyes are full of contempt for Li Yan - the strong overlook the weak: "The minister heard that His Majesty has been playing excessively lately and often stays up all night, so he specially entered the palace to admonish." I hope that Your Majesty will focus on the dragon body, pay attention to rest, and if you can have less fun and care more about national affairs, it will be the luck of the community. ”

When Li Yan heard these words, which were like elders mentioning the face of the juniors, his face suddenly turned red and blue, and he felt greatly humiliated. He was so ashamed, not because others heard this, and they would only accuse Li Yan of being stupid and misbehaved, and praise King Qi for his loyalty and daring, but because he couldn't stand the other party's attitude of being so tough and pointing fingers at him.

That is the great shame of the king, and it is also the great honor of the ministers.

For courtiers, it is naturally very refreshing to be able to criticize the emperor.

Li Yan had a gloomy face: "Does King Qi have anything else to play?"

Li Maozhen said: "That's all the minister wants to say. ”

Li Yan's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

The so-called "he plays all day and all night" is naturally not new, it has always been. The reason why Li Maozhen came to talk to him today was because he was told by the eunuchs around him two days ago that the palace was short of money, there was no money, and there was a problem with the supply of wine, food, and clothes. So Li Yan sent someone to tell Li Maozhen and asked him to allocate money.

Li Maozhen entered the palace today, with such a tough attitude, of course, he was dissatisfied with Li Yan's asking for money, and told him that he would not increase his use.

How does this make Li Yan suffer?

Li Yan stared at Li Maozhen, who was standing tall and full of manners, and it took a lot of effort to convince himself not to be ashamed, he said coldly: "Li Maozhen, you have to remember, I am the king, you are the minister, and in this world, you are not the only vassal king!"

Li Yan suddenly dared to say such a tough thing, which surprised Li Maozhen, but he still just smiled casually: "What if there are more vassal kings? ”

Li Yan's eyes were red: "Don't you know that King An has reappeared?!"

Li Maozhen was stunned, and her eyes sank for two points, "Your Majesty knows about this?"

Seeing Li Maozhen's expression, Li Yan was greatly happy, and proudly raised his chin: "What I want to know, I can naturally know!"

Li Maozhen controlled Guanzhong, Chang'an, and the Imperial Palace, and was his people inside and out, and he was especially careful about Li Yan. In this case, the news that should not be known to Li Yan can still come in from outside the palace, showing Li Maozhen's incompetence and the emperor's deep heritage.

Li Maozhen quickly retracted his expression and regained his composure, and he chuckled: "King An may not have gone to the Immortal Realm, but will he come to Chang'an? Even if he comes, does Your Majesty think that he will not see Li Maozhen first?"

Li Yan's smugness suddenly stiffened on his face.

"Your Majesty is resting, and the minister is retiring. Li Maozhen saluted, retreated, and turned away when he reached the side of the boat.

Looking at the other party's back, Li Yan clenched his teeth, embarrassed and angry.

But soon, he snorted coldly and said to himself in an unwavering tone: "As long as Brother Ye is still in the mortal world, you rebels and thieves will die cleanly sooner or later, see how long you can run rampant!"

......

In the afternoon, as usual, it was when Li Maozhen met with important officials and staff.

In the Xuan room next to the bamboo forest of the rockery lake, Li Maozhen sat in the main seat, Zhao Bingkun was at the bottom, and there were only two of them in the house.

After finishing finishing his business, Zhao Bingkun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness went to Miyagi today?"

Li Maozhen glanced at him, "Not only did I go to Miyagi, but I also heard that Your Majesty knew the news of King An's appearance." ”

Zhao Bingkun had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty should be very happy." ”

"Not only happy, but also arrogant. Li Maozhen laughed.

Zhao Bingkun said: "Your Majesty thought that he could get the news, but his people concealed our surveillance, but I didn't know that this news was deliberately revealed to him by His Highness." ”

Li Maozhen said lightly: "King An reappeared, the most important thing is to join forces with me, so naturally he has to pass through Chang'an by the way." When he arrived in Chang'an, with his relationship with Li Yan, he naturally wanted to enter the palace to meet him. With the power of King An, it is very reasonable to let Li Yan get the news in advance. ”

Zhao Bingkun nodded, his eyes sharp, "It seems that the 'Li Congjing' is in good condition, so His Royal Highness has made up his mind to use him to pretend to be King An." ”

Li Maozhen's eyes flashed with a different color, and she was silent for a moment, "It's really good, after training for so long, it's almost possible to confuse the real with the fake." When he's done with what he's supposed to carry, it's time for him to play...... Gao Biao and Wang Jian's soldiers and horses are about to enter the Central Plains, and they won't leave us much time. ”

Zhao Bingkun rubbed his hands, "Finally waited for this day, chasing the Central Plains, and determining the world! This time, our soldiers will definitely have the last laugh!"

......

Shenyun Mountain.

The small and pitiful Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is still there, but the Taoists are no longer the same Taoists as before.

Under the starry night, two people stood on the eaves of the house, their clothes dancing in front of the crescent moon.

One of them looked at the stone tablet in front of the main hall of the Taoist temple with his hands in his hand, and sighed with emotion: "A few years ago, King An understood the Taoist text left by Yuan Tianshi here, and repaired his spiritual root with the help of the Taoist machine in the text, and achieved qi training in one fell swoop. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Chu Nanhuai.

Su Emei, who was silent on the starry sky, withdrew her gaze from a distance and cast it on the stone tablet, but she was speechless.

Chu Nanhuai clasped his hands in his sleeves, and said with a complicated meaning: "The change of Kunlun, King An's ascension to immortality, you and I walked fast enough with Cui Keli, so that we were not surrounded and killed in Kunlun by Li Maozhen, Gao Biao and others." Now Cui Keli has returned to the Central Plains, and when he left, he finally no longer lost his soul, and he also worked hard to keep the foundation of King An, inherit the unfinished ambition of King An, and help Sheji to sweep away the thieves and rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty...... You want to come to Shenyun Mountain to see, now that a lot of time has passed, our master and apprentice can't stay here all the time, let's go back to Dustpan Mountain. ”

Halfway through, Su Emei said in a low voice: "Master, go back, I'll stay here." ”

Chu Nanhuai frowned and said, "What can you do if you stay here?" It's too desolate here, there are few people around, it's far worse than our dustpan mountain!"

Su E lowered her head, bit her red lips, and her shoulders tightened, "Qingzhou...... If I don't go back, what face will I have to go back......? We failed to protect King An......"

Her eyes were red for a moment, and her shoulders couldn't help but tremble even if they were bitterly suppressed.

Chu Nanhuai sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? The changes of the day were too hasty, and we didn't have time to deal with them...... Do you really want to stay here alone?"

Su Emei's gaze returned to the distance, recovered for a moment, and muttered: "This is where he made his fortune, if there is a miracle, it will definitely be here." ”

"Miracle?" Chu Nanhuai smiled bitterly, "How can there be any miracle......

Su Emei was silent.

"Who says there are no miracles? I have one here, do you want to listen to it?" Suddenly, a mature and charming voice sounded.

Chu Nanhuai and Su Emei turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Song Jiao had already flown from the treetops, as big as wings.

"You two are really able to run, and you are hiding here in the clouds and wild cranes, which has caused me to look for a long time. When she got to the roof, Song Jiao first teased, and then looked at Su Emei with deep meaning, "If that stinky boy knows that you are so affectionate, I guess he will probably take you into the room, and then you will become a princess." ”

"Aunt Song....... Why do you say this?" Su Emei's spirit was a little trance, as if she had already felt something, but she was afraid that it was not true, and the slightest touch would burst like a blister.

Chu Nanhuai was also surprised.

Song Jiao didn't talk nonsense, and suddenly shouted: "King An has an order, you will obey the order!"
