"Big brother, why does Zhaowen Academy want to deal with us, Ying Guogong Mansion asked," Wu Yuanshuang asked

"The weak eat the strong above the court, and it is natural for the weak to be eliminated by the strong, but I don't understand why they chose to go to my Yingguo Mansion, do they think that we are the best in these families?

"This time, Helan sent back the news that Liu Xi said to His Majesty that you had an affair with Concubine Liu, could it be that Shangguan Yi did it again?" Wu Yuanshuang said angrily.

"This is not necessarily, the collusion between the foreign ministers and the internal officials is very easy to arouse the suspicion of His Majesty, everyone is avoiding the fact that they have too close a relationship with the people of the Inner Servant Province, and the one who can instruct Liu Xi, the great eunuch, must be someone from the palace."

"Concubine Liu, a stupid woman, it was originally taboo to go out of the palace late at night, and now she has been arrested again, but this is not the deadliest crisis, as long as Concubine Liu and I confess truthfully in front of Your Majesty at that time, Your Majesty will blame me at most. It's these people from Shangguan Yi Zhaowen Academy, what the hell do they want to do" Wu Yuanqing pondered for a moment.

"Prepare a few generous gifts for me tomorrow, I want to visit Shangguanyi, Zhang Da'an and Huang Zicen"

There is no impermeable wall in the world, just when everyone is talking, another major event echoes in the entire court, Li Zhong, the king of Liang and the governor of Yongzhou, entered the court, and Li Junxian, Pei Xingjian and Wei Chixuan have completed their respective military defense affairs, and will enter Chang'an a month later.

Li Zhong, the king of Liang, is the real eldest son of Gaozong Li Zhi, Li Zhong's mother has an average family background, when he was born, Li Zhi was only the crown prince, and the first emperor Taizong loved this grandson Li Zhong very much. After Gaozong ascended the throne, Gaozong's queen Wang and Empress Wang did not have no heirs, and Empress Wang's uncle Zhongshu ordered Liu Zheng to plan for Empress Wang, because Li Zhong's biological mother Liu was from a humble background, persuaded Empress Wang to make Li Zhong the crown prince, and let Li Zhong get close to Empress Wang;

Li Zhong had just come of age, and encountered the struggle between Empress Wu and Empress Wang, Empress Wang was defeated in the battle of the harem, and Tang Gaozong deposed Empress Wang and renamed Empress Wu who was still Zhaoyi as empress. Li Hong, the son of the emperor born to Empress Wu, was three years old at the time, Xu Jingzong catered to Wu Zetian's will, and persuaded Tang Gaozong that Li Zhong was not a son-in-law, and that he should be abolished as the crown prince and his eldest son Li Hong should be replaced as the crown prince. Tang Gaozong deposed Li Zhong's crown prince, demoted to the king of Liang, renamed Li Hong as the prince, and appointed Li Zhong as the governor of Yongzhou, in order to make up for the debt to this eldest son, Gaozong gave the real seal of 2,000 households, 20,000 sections of five-color silk, the first luxury house.

Yongzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, Li Zhong not only did not have any merits but was lustful after being sent to Yongzhou, and often made a lot of jokes, Li Zhong likes to hunt, often takes his subordinates to patrol, and even encroaches on fertile land to raise fierce beasts, last winter also sent a piece of black bear skin to the emperor, many of the officials impeached King Liang, but the emperor not only did not punish, but the Empress Wu also rewarded his filial piety.

Li Zhong is almost ten years old, and today Li Zhong will meet the emperor at the court meeting, and the Empress Wu will also go to the court with the emperor. Today is the Great Pilgrimage, and everyone knows that a lot of things will happen at today's Pilgrimage.

The civil and military stand class, stand on both sides, the emperor makes a dragon chair, and his subordinates sit on the queen of Wu, the crown prince Li Hong, the second prince Li Xian, and the third prince Li Zhe are also here today, and Li Dan does not have to go to court because he is still young.

A sound announced that King Liang entered the palace and saw that it was far away, and King Liang stepped into the hall with his head held high, followed by two entourages holding a brocade box. This is the first time that Li Zhong has entered the court after being demoted to Queen Liang, Li Zhong is now in his thirties, and it is the age of Endeavor that he has grown obese, almost two hundred pounds, and he gasps for breath every few steps. The courtiers are talking a lot, more than ten years ago Li Zhongke was a very capable person, Emperor Gaozong praised him for having the talent of the dragon and phoenix, but now it has only been ten years. Suddenly, his foot stumbled, his left foot seemed to step on his right foot, Li Zhong fell to the ground and rolled over, rolled in front of the royal car, and let out a burst of laughter in the court.

"What kind of system has it become above the court, the minister impeached Li Zhong, the king of Liang, for misbehaving and committing prestige," Jin Taiyan said with a dark face.

"Duke Jin, it's just an accident, don't worry too much," Empress Wu said.

"Yes, it's just an accident, I haven't seen you for ten years, but I want to die as a father" Li Zhi is ashamed of Li Zhong after all, and Li Zhong has been kowtowing below.

"The sons and daughters in Yongzhou also miss their father all the time," Li Zhong cried.

"Second brother, is this really the same Li Zhong from before?" asked Li Zhe

"Of course, I didn't expect it to become like this," Li Xian had a mockery and contempt on his face.

"Father, mother, and son-in-law have prepared a few novel gifts for you" With the support of the guards on the side, Li Zhong finally got up from the ground, opened the brocade box, and a piece of warm jade was lying in the middle of the brocade box.

"This is a unique thing in Xihe, a piece of high-quality jade, and it took countless efforts for Erchen to salvage it."

"Your Majesty, here is a letter from the minister, impeaching Li Zhong, the king of Liang, who does not want to make progress in the territory and does not know how to share the worries of His Majesty, but often abuses the power of the people. The West River is known as the Northwest Tianhe, the river is steep, the water flow is turbulent, the King of Liang has collected hundreds of strong men to go down the river to salvage treasures, and as a result, dozens of people are buried in the belly of the fish, "the people of the Yushitai are bedbugs, the emperor was in a happy mood, but they made such a fuss that the King of Liang had no room to step down, and the emperor also fell into a dilemma, punishing the King of Liang He couldn't bear it, and if he didn't punish, the people of the Yushitai would not give up."

"I....... I...... I just want to make His Majesty and the Queen Mother happy" The impeached King of Liang, Li Zhong, was at a loss.

On the other hand, Empress Wu smiled with a smile, "King Liang's nonsense is also out of filial piety, and it is also my mother's lax discipline, I should also be responsible, Your Majesty and I will arrange a long history for him to assist King Liang in managing Yongzhou, I believe that there will be achievements in the future."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" King Liang bowed down again with gratitude.

Empress Wu relieved Li Zhong of the siege, and Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, after the court meeting, everyone's only impression of Li Zhong was that he was obese. Li Zhong's bad deeds in Yongzhou are full of books, but no matter how Jin Taiyan reprimands him in the court, King Liang is only willing to scold and not return the mouth, and he has the consciousness of spitting on his own face, the emperor interceded for King Liang, and the Empress Wu also beat the side drum on the side, but he was not punished.

The Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the Han people, and it is also the eternal psychological pillar and carnival. The Spring Festival began in Yu Shun and has a history of more than 2,500 years in the Tang Dynasty. The time of the Spring Festival in previous dynasties was also different, and the Xia Dynasty used Mengchun (i.e., the first month) as the first month. The Shang Dynasty used the lunar month (December) as the first month. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he stipulated that October was the first month. After the Han Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty calendar was used, and the Xia calendar was also called the lunar calendar and the lunar calendar, which was used until later generations, nearly 4,000 years, and was the most complete calendar in the history of known civilization.

Can the vassal kings who were assigned to various places stay in Chang'an for a month at most, in order to prevent any collusion with the courtiers, Li Zhong did not enter Chang'an for ten years, and the emperor allowed him to stay after the head of state.

The courtiers were a little overwhelmed by Li Zhong's sudden arrival, because no one could figure out what he was here for, he had not entered Chang'an for ten years, and today he suddenly returned to Chang'an under the pretext of missing his father, the emperor and the empress?

After the next dynasty, the prime ministers of the four major academies returned to their respective offices after saying goodbye, and now although the war is over, the internal affairs of the empire are heavy, and everyone's case needs to be dealt with until late. When Gao Jifu returned to Menxia Province, the first thing he did was to write a letter and send it to Xuangan Academy, asking the mountain chief Li Yanshou to open it in person. Pei Yan frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, and finally spread out the paper and wrote a letter, but he wrote two. Shangguan Yi walked out of the palace and walked towards Yongle Fang with his back hand, and Ji Ling lived in Yongle Fang.

The drum of cleaning the street has sounded, all the markets in Chang'an have stopped operating, Wuhou patrols the streets everywhere, but a carriage is blatantly driving on Zhuque Street.

"Who's in the car!" the Wuhou team stopped the carriage.

"It's me!" the carriage curtain lifted, revealing a majestic face.

"Have you seen Yoo Jae-fu?"

This person is Liu Renliang, now the Tang Dynasty government affairs are heavy, no one in Xizhou Beiting dares to take it lightly, after dealing with a day's political affairs, Liu Renliang did not return to the house, but drove out of the city. The court was in turmoil, and the officials of the Zhaowen family and the Ying Guo Mansion were in trouble, and now that Li Zhong suddenly arrived in Chang'an, he needed to carefully inquire about the situation of the year, find out the purpose of King Liang, and choose how to choose.

Liu Renliang went to Taixuan Mountain overnight to visit his mentor, who was also Linghu Dedi of Wenzong. When the Empress Wang and the crown prince Li Zhong were abolished more than ten years ago, they were basically planned by the Tang Wenzong who never participated in the government affairs, and their current prime ministers are just a small official, and at present, in Chang'an City, in addition to the emperor and empress, only Jin Taiyan and Ji Ling know what happened back then. This is not simply after Li Zhi abolished the queen and changed the martial arts, and there is another force behind it, a terrifying, even enough to subvert the Tang Dynasty. Because in the court more than ten years ago, in addition to Empress Wang and Gaozong's eldest son Li Zhong, the losers were all exiled and degraded for 8,000 miles, and they, as successors, now want to figure out some doubts hanging in their hearts!
