A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Li Tai stepped back, "What do you want to do?"

A court lady came slowly, "This is what Empress Changsun meant. Now the Empress is summoning His Royal Highness the King of Wei in the Lizheng Hall. No one can go to Daming Palace before Xiangguo leaves Daming Palace."

Cheng Yaojin thought about what this decree meant, what if Gu Qing couldn't get out?

Li Tai was also in a daze, and followed the maid to the Lizheng Hall.

Walking into the Lizheng Hall, Li Tai bowed and saluted, "I have seen my mother."

Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai with kind eyebrows, "Qingque, you've lost weight."

Looking up at his mother's face, which could no longer conceal his age, Li Tai said in a low voice, "Mother, is the father still in good health? The mother should also pay attention to her body."

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, "When I was in Jiucheng Palace, your mother and I felt that I was going to die. If I had left like this back then, why would I not be able to rest in peace? This feeling is very strange. It seems that I should have died at that time. Just die like this, but I will survive."

"It's because of Gu Qing." Li Tai said.

"Yeah, because of Gu Qing." Empress Changsun whispered, "This Gu Qing seems to know a lot of things. Sometimes he thinks he is planning for a rainy day and makes every step right. Sometimes he even feels that he is a prophet. When he sent troops to fight Tuyuhun, Gu Qing was How to grasp Songtsan Gampo will definitely take this opportunity to attack Tuyuhun, all of us don’t know Songtsan Gampo, Gu Qing seems to have predicted that Tubo will do this.”

"I used to be a person who believed in fate." Empress Changsun looked at the Lizheng Hall, "But since the incident of Jiucheng Palace, I have not believed in fate! If you want to live, you have to grit your teeth and live. See Watching you grow up, watching the little boy grow up, watching the childish slave grow up, it was Gu Qing who gave me the courage to conquer the sky, don't believe in fate! I'd rather beat the son-in-law."

"My queen, sometimes my ministers also feel this way." Li Tai said, "If it weren't for the academy established by Gu Qing, the ministers might still be fighting with the prince and Li Chengqian to the death. The minister even thought about seeking a concubine. If the son-in-law hadn't entered the academy, he didn't know what the situation would be like now. He was right, the father would not let us son-in-law follow the father's old path. "

"There are also Gu Qing's miscellaneous studies, the so-called physics, once or twice is enough, but these studies seem to have been arranged a long time ago." Empress Changsun rubbed her temples, "There has always been a hurdle in your father's heart. , is also his biggest scruples about Gu Qing, where does Gu Qing come from, who is his teacher? Does Gu Qing come from a country stronger than Datang? "

Speaking of this, Li Tai fell into silence. Gu Qing's life experience has always been a mystery. Even he himself is not good at defending Gu Qing in front of his mother. Where did this Gu Qing come from.

The daytime passed quickly, and it was dark again. Zhang Yugong looked at the hazy Daming Palace in the heavy rain. It had been two days and two nights, but Gu Qing still hadn't come out.

"If the teacher doesn't come out tonight, let's do it!" Di Renjie said in a deep voice, "We have waited long enough."

Pulling out the horizontal knife in his hand, Zhang Yugong stood up and walked towards Daming Palace step by step, the rainwater kept beating on the knife surface.

Li Junxian looked at the people walking out of the dark night, clenched the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Be alert!"

The bow and crossbow in front of the Daming Palace were stringed up, and the horizontal knife was unsheathed. Li Junxian took a step forward, "Who is in front!?"

There was no answer in the dark night, and hundreds of figures stood still more than 100 meters away from Daming Palace, as if waiting for something.

"Who is so bold, dare to charge into the Daming Palace!" Li Junxian said to the guards beside him, "Give me an order that someone will charge into the Daming Palace, and I will surround them with [-] Jinwu guards."

The Daming Palace was still brightly lit, Wang Qin had been waiting outside and could see two figures under the candlelight shaking in the palace.

The rain still has no intention of stopping.

After an hour passed, Li Junxian saw the figures in the dark night move, they walked forward a few steps and then stopped moving, the soldiers who went to deliver the order still haven't come back, and the Jinwu Guard's troops haven't come either, this is What's wrong?There are more and more figures appearing around, ranging from a few hundred to thousands.

These people are all holding horizontal knives and wearing bamboo hats, rangers?This was Li Junxian's first thought!

On the main road between Daming Palace and Xuanwu Gate, the dwarf led people to cut off the main road here, and several messengers were knocked out and brought down. Watching the rain, the dwarf turned his head and glanced at the unresponsive Xuanwu Gate. Without disturbing the direction of Tai Chi Palace, they are sure to rescue Gu Qing within a stick of incense, Zhang Yugong and the others should not be able to wait any longer.

"Let's go!" The dwarf led the people towards Daming Palace.

In Gucun, Yang Sheng has been standing outside Gu's house. Everyone in the village felt something strange. The door of Gu's house has not been opened.

Some villagers wanted to take a closer look at the situation, but they found that there were many strange people standing outside Gu's house guarding them. They looked like these people were dressed as rangers.

Li Chengqian stayed up all night, waiting for news from the Daming Palace. His mother had a decree that no one could enter the Daming Palace until Gu Qing walked out of the Daming Palace. A sense of powerlessness rose from his heart, like a mountain that you can't push down no matter what.

Rainwater is constantly falling from the eaves of Ganlu Hall.

The former concubine has become the current queen, she whispered to Li Chengqian, "Your Majesty, it's time for Zishi."

"I know, you should rest first." Li Chengqian looked at Yu Ye, "I can't sleep."

Looking at Li Chengqian worriedly, she did not fall asleep but asked the maid to prepare some soup and snacks.

A gust of cold wind blew into the hall, and Li Chengqian whispered a few words to the little eunuch beside him, "Go and find out the reality of the Gu family, don't get too close!"

"Yes!" The little eunuch nodded, and left the palace overnight with His Majesty's order, leaving Chengtian Gate and walking all the way to the gate of Chang'an City.

Xue Rengui had already switched to the city gate, looked at the people about to leave the city and said, "Who are you? It's curfew time!"

"Your Majesty's servant." The little eunuch took out a warrant as he spoke, "This is His Majesty's warrant."

Xue Rengui took the other party's warrant and looked at it for a long time, "Wait, I'll check it!"

"Please hurry up, Your Majesty has something important to do, don't delay." The little eunuch spoke anxiously.

Chapter 6 Eighteen

Xue Rengui took this warrant and went upstairs to check it. The little eunuch waited anxiously under the city wall.

Cheng Chumo walked around and saw the little eunuch waiting anxiously, "What are you doing?"

"Return to the general." The little eunuch said, "The young one is His Majesty's servant, and he is ordered by His Majesty to go out of the city to handle errands, but General Xue said that he took the warrant to check, but there has been no news."

Cheng Chumo looked at the little eunuch suspiciously, and walked up the tower, and saw Xue Rengui eating again in Chenglou, "What's the matter with the little eunuch under the castle?"

"I forgot." Xue Rengui slapped his forehead while talking, took out the warrant and handed it to Cheng Chumo, "It has been verified, and he can be let out of the city."

"Don't delay the matter." Cheng Chumo shouted towards the city, "Let people out of the city!"

The gate of the city was opened a little, and the little eunuch walked out of the city. After walking for half an hour in the rain, he was knocked unconscious on the ground with a stick.

"Fortunately, I received the news." The person carrying the stick whispered, "Should I hand it over to Mr. Yang or what?"

"Throw it here, don't worry about it." Another person whispered, "Let's go back to Mr. Yang's side first, it's important to guard the village."

"Yes!"

Tonight, Chang'an lost sleep. Li Xiaogong sat at home and said to Li Daozong, "There has always been a delicate relationship between Gu Qing and the royal family. This kind of subtlety was stable when His Majesty was in power, but now that Li Chengqian is on the throne, this subtlety It looks like it's about to be broken."

"Tell me your opinion." Li Daozong listened to the sound of rain outside.

"Actually, it's like a thread." Li Xiaogong said, "This thread is too loose, and it will break if it is too tight, but there is a knot tied on this rope, and this knot is Princess Gaoyang, a Gaoyang princess. The Princess is likely to tip the balance, making it even more likely that the thread will be disconnected from now on."

"When His Majesty was in power, this line could be relaxed to a certain extent, but after the crown prince ascended the throne, this line collapsed too tight."

Many people in Chang'an were suffering from insomnia, the Daming Palace was still tense, and Li Junxian stood facing a large group of rangers with an unknown number in front of him, holding a knife.

Until two figures walked out of Daming Palace.

Li Junxian turned around and looked, "Your Majesty!"

Li Er nodded slightly and handed the will to Gu Qing beside him, "I will leave it to you in the future."

"I understand." Gu Qing took the order, walked out of Daming Palace step by step in the rain, raised the yellow silk in his hand and waved towards the group of rangers.
