The Eight Sequels of the Heavenly Dragon (Sixty-Five) are deeply scheming
That night, Li Qinglu and Xuan Zhu did not turn around until late at night, and Qiao Feng and others saw Li Qinglu with a relaxed look, full of ambition, knowing that it was relatively smooth above the court, and also happy for Li Qinglu.
Li Qinglu was naturally grateful to the three of them. Ren Duo Baozhong was instructed to prepare a feast. In the homes of the important courtiers, the subordinates were on standby at any time. Not long after the banquet was ready, Li Qinglu asked Qiao Feng and the other three to sit on the first seat, and Ren Duo Baozhong accompanied the prime minister.
Li Qinglu raised a glass and said, "Today's event, thanks to the help of my predecessors and two elder brothers, has been able to continue the inheritance handed down by my father and emperor." Qinglu should pay tribute to the seniors and brothers for a few cups! ”
Li Canghai was not good at words, duan Yu's heart was only on Li Canghai, Qiao Feng said: "Younger sister Hugh wants to see outside, your business is to do your brother's business." Moreover, Li Canghai's predecessors were not outsiders. Today, I see you calm down the civil strife in the Western Xia Dynasty, calm down and handle things properly, brother, I still admire you! ”
Li Qinglu smiled and shook his head, "If I didn't have the extraordinary martial arts and thunder means of the seniors, the eldest brother and the third brother, I wouldn't have the slightest way." Empress Liang was heavily defended and skilled, how could she hold her? In my opinion, the seniors and Elder Brother Qiao might as well stay in my Western Xia Palace and enjoy their wealth. Elder Brother Qiao was once the King of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, and now he is more than enough to be the military commander of my Western Xia Army! ”
Qiao Feng swept the corners of his eyes, and saw that Ren Duo Baozhong's eyes were complex and his heart was clear. He had always hated the tedious etiquette and mountain affairs of the imperial court, where was it comparable to the big bowl of drinking in the rivers and lakes, coming and going freely? If he wanted to be an official, wasn't the Great King of the Great LiaoNanyuan at that time big enough? For him, it was a big troublesome thing that caused him a lot of headaches. At the moment, he laughed: "Brother, I have always been free and accustomed, not the material for being an official." After the matter on your side is handled, I will turn back to the Central Plains and live a comfortable life with Ah Zi in raising chickens and growing vegetables and teaching apprentices. ”
Li Qinglu saw that Qiao Feng was unmoved, knew that he could not be persuaded, and would not mention it again. She knew that Li Canghai was a wild crane in the clouds, and it was even more difficult to stay with him. It's just a pity that the two are extremely skilled. At present, although the situation in the imperial court was temporarily controlled, Empress Liang controlled the government for a long time, and there were many henchmen. If you can have the help of such a big master as Li Canghai and Qiao Feng, one is to protect your own safety, and the other is to facilitate the eradication of dissidents.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Qinglu and XuanZhu got up early and went to the palace. In the evening, Li Qinglu sent the palace guards to come and take the three people into the palace. The three of them did not think that although the palace was very mysterious, when The Western Xia selected a horse, Qiao Feng and Duan Yu were invited to enter the palace; Li Canghai also entered the palace to meet with his sister Li Qiushui.
The guards led the three men into the palace, passed through the middle and front of the hall, and led them all the way to the outer study of qingfeng pavilion. At that time, The Western Xia Zhang list recruited horses, dali searched for Duan Reputation, and arranged for Mu Wanqing to dress as a man and come to choose relatives. Qiao Feng and Duan Yu had escorted Mu Wanqing here. At present, seeing that the layout in the Qingfeng Pavilion was just like that year, he said strangely: "I didn't expect that after many years, the princess's boudoir was still like that year, and there was no change." ”
The guard who led the way respectfully said, "The princess is deeply favored by the former emperor and has a high prestige in the palace, so her room has always been kept here, and the princess also rests here when she returns to the palace province." ”
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu caressed the small tea table in the hall of the cabinet, remembering that when they came to choose relatives, they also fought with Prince Zongzan of Tubo here, and their faces couldn't help but smile.
Li Canghai was in a different mood at this time. She and her sister Li Qiushui gathered less and more, and did not resolve the resentment until many years later. In this Western Xia Palace, I only saw my sister twice, and then my sister fought with my sister Tong Yao, so that they died together. When I read this, I can't help but feel sad in my heart.
The three of them drank some tea in Qingfeng Pavilion and went to the Royal Garden, and when it was late in the evening, Li Qinglu and Xuan Zhu returned.
Qiao Feng saw that The Void Bamboo looked tired, quite annoyed and impatient, and smiled secretly in his heart. He knew that the virtual bamboo was also free and habitual, how could he withstand these tedious and boring mundane affairs in the palace. However, Li Qinglu was radiant, and when he arrived at the palace, he appeared more graceful and luxurious, and his spirit was a hundred times greater. Qiao Feng sighed in his heart that after the emperor and the common people, there was a difference between heaven and earth, and the second brother and the princess were married, whether it was happiness or pain, only self-knowledge.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Qiao Feng finished bathing and was lying on the bed with clothes thinking of Ah Zi. I don't know if Ah Zi is resting at this time; I don't know how Qian Hesheng and The Void Phase's kung fu is practicing. Made up his mind to resign to Li Qinglu tomorrow.
Suddenly, someone knocked a few times outside the door, and Xuan Zhu whispered outside: "Big brother, have you rested?" Qiao Feng was surprised and opened the door. Xuan Zhu came in and said, "Disturbed the big brother to rest, right?" I have something to say to big brother. ”
Qiao Feng pulled away his chair and said, "Well, the second brother sat down and talked." ”
Xuan Zhu said, "I went to see if the third brother had rested?" If you have not yet rested, you will come to the big brother's room to talk. ”
Su Xuanzhu pulled Duan Yu in, and Duan Yu rubbed his eyes and said, "Second brother, I was about to rest, what are you crazy about at this time?" ”
Xuan Zhu asked Duan Yu to sit down as well, and Zheng Se said, "It's not that I have the intention to disturb the eldest brother and the third brother to rest, but I have words in my heart, and I don't spit out unhappy!" ”
Qiao Feng said, "Is it the princess who has something to upset the second brother?" ”
Xuan Zhu exclaimed, "Indeed, how does the eldest brother know?" ”
Qiao Feng smiled: "Only then did we have dinner together, you don't say at the dinner table, you have to wait for the princess to rest, before you come to us to complain, that must be the princess annoyed you!" ”
Xuan Zhu gave a thumbs up and said, "Or the big brother is meticulous!" I told the eldest brother and the third brother. In the imperial palace, I accompanied the princess to meet with the important ministers every day and deal with the affairs of the dynasty, and I was bound and had a headache. He consulted with the princess and quickly restored the little emperor's seat and let him take care of these things. We can also return to the Spirit Vulture Palace as soon as possible. However, the princess was slow to move, saying that the little emperor was incompetent and talented, which led to Empress Liang taking power. She wanted to re-elect a prince as emperor. ”
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu invariably "ah" a sound. Qiao Feng said, "Perhaps this deposed little emperor is indeed not talented enough, and there are also other princes in various dynasties." ”
Xuan Zhu said, "I thought the same thing, so it is also a good thing to persuade her to quickly choose a prince with good moral integrity and ability to be the emperor." However, she chose to choose and think about it for a long time, but she was ready to choose the six-year-old Li Bingrong as the emperor, saying that this prince was talented and could achieve great things. ”
Qiao Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Is there any other suitable prince?" ”
"Actually, the ministers are more inclined to the sixteen-year-old Li Bingde, who is benevolent and capable." If he succeeds to the throne, with a little experience, he will be able to enlist in person next year. However, the princess insisted that he was born out of nowhere, and that his mother was not a noble concubine and could not be made emperor. In fact, what is so tight? The little emperor Li Bingchang in the front was still illegitimate. Empress Liang was previously the daughter-in-law of the Minister of State, and after the Minister of State was destroyed, she was somehow welcomed into the palace again. ”
Qiao Feng sighed for a moment and said, "You mean that the princess insisted on establishing six-year-old Li Bingrong as emperor because of her own selfish intentions?" ”
Xuan Zhu nodded, "Actually, I have long been aware of it, she has been very closely associated with the imperial palace all these years, and since Emperor Yizong returned to heaven, she has shown more obvious performance." After a slight pause, he said conclusively: "This time, I am afraid that the one who wants to be the second Wu Zetian is herself!" I'm afraid I can't go back to the Spirit Vulture Palace. ”
