Don't be a prince

Under the expectant eyes of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Chengqian nodded: "Of course, it's just that the emperor is not blind to this arrangement, and he can understand what you two mean at a glance. When the time comes, I'm afraid Originally, the merits should be divided, but there is no division. Therefore, there is no problem with placement, but Fang Yiyi and Du Ze must be decent.

With his father's temperament, he couldn't help but go to the battlefield in person. Gu can order them to get close to his father, and at the same time, their safety is also guaranteed.However, they can't blame themselves if they can't make achievements by themselves!

In addition, the pro rate is a whole and has its own team.If someone commands blindly, the combat power will be greatly reduced and accidents will happen.Therefore, when the two of them go in, they can only use their names, and they will not be given official positions. What do you two think? "

Helping others with things, especially big things, explaining the interests in advance is not excessive caution, and taking care of everything is making yourself uncomfortable.

What Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were most afraid of was that the crown prince would not agree. Now that the crown prince nodded, he naturally had no taboo.

Nodding repeatedly, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "It's easy to say, these two children are pretty good at martial arts. They are at the bottom of the ranking, so they can only fight for their own future. Even if something happens to them on the battlefield, the two of us will fight for it." It will not be blamed on His Highness."

Li Chengqian stretched out both hands and gave Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling three high-fives, which considered the matter settled.

As for the musicians, Li Chengqian was really not interested.He really couldn't hear the mood of Datang's music.As for using the piano or guitar, he can also play and sing to have fun with his wife and children.

As for the gift, Li Chengqian didn't mention it, neither did Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.But Li Chengqian knew that no matter it was the Chinese New Year or the birth of Ashina Xue's child, as long as there was an opportunity, the two of them would definitely give a big gift.

After discussing the matter, there is no need to stay to listen to the music and watch the theater.Because, he really can't stand the lines of the person who plays the prince on stage.What is "sorrowful", what "the soul returns"....

If you really want to read such lines in reality, you will probably die of shame.

However, the audience likes such sentences.Seeing Sun Shenxian collapsed from exhaustion from saving people all the time, and seeing the prince sitting on the ground "so sad", he would even cry along with him.

Walking out along the original road, just out of the Quyi Pavilion, I found something was wrong.

Although the pro-lead guards were hiding something like that, but with only a few sets of disguises, Li Chengqian could still tell which one of the pro-lead guards was around him.

Just after leaving the Quyi Pavilion, the disguised personal guards on the street did not gather towards him, but gathered towards an alley.Two of them even took out the hand crossbows in their arms, not caring about exposing them.

Zhang Yun was also the one who found that the situation was wrong. He stepped forward, stopped in front of Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness, let's go back first."

Li Chengqian shook his head, patted Zhang Yun on the shoulder, and followed his personal guards into the alley.

Although it is an alley, it is not for people to walk. As a separation between two brothels, the passage is full of various sundries.

As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of all kinds of things being smashed.The next moment, a figure smashed into a vertical bamboo table and fell to the ground.Surprisingly, the person who fell to the ground turned out to be the personal guard.

You can already see the situation ahead.

Three personal guards were fighting around a guy in black.Counting the one who fell to the ground, the four personal guards couldn't beat one of them, and even one was knocked down.

Seeing that the three of them were about to lose, another person joined the battle circle. At this point, there was no way to join more people.

It was four against one again, but the man in black still didn't show signs of decline, and even faintly showed signs of defeating another person.

Of course, this is not the most astonishing thing. The most astonishing thing is that the man in black did not cover his head and face, and turned out to be a young man in his 20s.

Seeing that the guards watching the battle had already raised their crossbows, Li Chengqian signaled them to put away their weapons.

"Stop! Stop hitting."

Accompanied by Li Chengqian's roar, no matter whether it was the man in black or the personal guards, they all stopped.

Clenching his fists, he patted the surprised Zhang Yun, and Li Chengqian rushed over in person.

Then....

The tenth move, he grabbed the neck...

Naturally, there are no fools. Seeing that the prince even did it himself, he knew that this person was someone the prince knew, so he was not anxious when he saw the prince being captured.

Letting go, the man in black knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I have offended you."

Rubbing his slightly sore Adam's apple, Li Chengqian knew that if this kid wanted to kill him, he would probably be finished with this one.

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Before Mr. Geng left, he told Gu about you and that you would take the initiative to find Gu. But Gu never expected that your skills are so good."

The man in black was undoubtedly Flying Eagle.

Zhang Yun had been pointed out by Geng Buqu before, so he could naturally see his way.As for Li Chengqian, he guessed his identity from the pattern of an eagle's claw on the lapel of his shirt.

Fei Ying said respectfully: "It's my teacher who taught me well, but I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince's skills are also extraordinary. It can be seen that your clothes are not convenient, otherwise, my subordinates would not be able to win."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Come on, don't flatter, even if Gu changes clothes, he is not your opponent. Get up and tell me, since you want to meet Gu, why don't you pass by the hidden guards, but hide in the dark?"

Chapter 485

Feiying didn't say anything, but glanced at Zhang Yun and his personal guards.

Li Chengqian said: "Let's talk, these people are trustworthy people."

Fei Ying nodded and said: "At the beginning, Mr. Geng trained the shadow guards for His Highness, but he was not serious about training them because he was in a hurry. But when the dark guards came in handy, Mr. Geng secretly trained our shadow guards. There are few shadow guards. , there are only 200 people, but they are all the elite of the elite.

The hidden guards can be said to be His Highness's subordinates, and we are the real dead soldiers of His Highness.In addition to accepting His Highness's orders, we are also the hidden guards among the hidden guards, responsible for monitoring the hidden guards themselves, lest someone betray His Highness.From now on, please His Highness directly give orders to the shadow guards. "

For this mission-impossible-like arrangement, Li Chengqian couldn't tell if it was true.After all, many things that the dark guards do are relatively hidden.If a traitor appeared, it would be difficult to deal with it.

Although they made the contract of the dead at the beginning, but with the passage of time, no one can be sure whether these people still maintain their original intentions.

"Alright, since that's the case, then you Shadow Guards should establish a stronghold in Yongchangfang. Yongchangfang is just one street away from the East Palace. With such a short distance, I don't need to say anything to you."

Seeing the prince facing himself and pointing to the ground, Fei Ying immediately understood and nodded repeatedly.

Patting Feiying on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "I'll leave it to you to dig the tunnel. I will find a craftsman in the scientific research institute and send it to you to help. The money I need will be placed in the auction house." The balcony on the second floor, you find someone to get it yourself."

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned and left.

The appearance of the shadow guard can be regarded as solving one of his worries.

The pro rate is naturally to be handed over to the emperor to take away, but once the pro rate is gone, his subordinates will have no real fighting power.

After the expansion of the dark guards during this period, although the number has reached 3000, their combat effectiveness really needs to be improved.There must be a team to protect Su Yuan and the others.Although the queen can be picked up by Li Tai, Su Yuan and the concubines in the harem can't, otherwise, the changes will be too big and it will arouse suspicion.

From this point of view, this is probably the only way to arrange it.It is not that there is no secret passage in the imperial palace, but this secret passage has been around for many years. After a long time, who can guarantee that its existence has not been leaked?

It's better to dig a new one.

When Li Chengqian turned around, Feiying jumped onto the low wall on one side, and disappeared as soon as he turned over.

An hour has passed since Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling got into such a mess.

Autumn begins with short days and long nights. At this time, the sun is already in the west, and there is not much time for entertainment in the afternoon.

Compared with the [-] of the later generations, the officials of the Tang Dynasty should not be too leisurely.Although there is no explicit regulation yet, general officials only go to work in the morning.During special times like the end of the year and the start of a war, the whole day will be spent.

The chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries will have a rotation system, and one person will be stationed in the yamen every day to handle temporary official duties.As for Shangshusheng, because Shangshuling is the crown prince, Li Chengqian became Li Chengqian's rotation throughout the year, unless something happened.

Although Li Chengqian is on duty every day, he will return to the East Palace in the afternoon, and he will also handle government affairs in the East Palace.After all, in the afternoon, there is not much government affairs to sort out.

Today, all three children are over one year old.Especially Xiao Mengyu and Xiao Mengyue, who have learned to be called "Mother Concubine" and "Father".Although I don't know why my husband asked the child to call him this, but since he was ordered, Su Yuan could only follow suit.

A child who has reached one year old will even be weaned from breastfeeding in the next life.But Datang is different. Even if the mother has no milk, she still needs to breastfeed, even until she is four or five years old.

I can't mention quitting milk, and I get anxious when I mention the eldest grandson.Now her happiest time every day is to visit her eldest grandson in the East Palace.Li Mengyu didn't have any distinction with his eldest grandson, he just shook his eldest grandson's hand back and forth.

The girl was doomed to be forgotten, and was hugged and nursed by Su Yuan.

Seeing her husband looking at her side, Su Yuan blushed, put away half of her skirt and said, "You can't do this anymore, the concubine's milk was much less, and now even a child can't get enough."

Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "If you're not full, just feed them rice. It's not bad to fry the rice, grind it into powder and soak it for eating."

Just as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head.

Li Chengqian didn't need to turn his head to know that his eldest grandson heard it again.

Sure enough, holding Li Mengyu in his arms, the eldest grandson sat beside him and said, "Look at someone whose child is fed as soon as they are one year old, and they are not afraid of spoiling their stomachs."

Li Chengqian said speechlessly: "The children of common people's families are about to stop breastfeeding at this time."

The eldest grandson said: "That's because people's families can't afford nurses. Look at the richer families, who doesn't feed their children until they are three years old? By the way, I found three more nurses for these three children, all of whom are emperors. The concubine of my in-laws..."

The power of habit is powerful, and the power of being a mother is also terrifying.At least in the face of the emperor's father, sometimes Li Chengqian could argue with reason.But facing the eldest grandson, as long as she stares at her, he will have nothing to do.

Standing up helplessly, Li Chengqian felt that it would be better to leave space for them, and find a quieter place for himself.

If it is quiet, it is the Yichun Palace of Ashina Xue and Xiuxiu.

In the past, Ashina Xue was advised not to live in a yurt, but to build another palace in Yichun Beiyuan, but she was unwilling.Now that she is pregnant with a child, she is afraid of contracting typhoid fever, so she can only squeeze in Xiuxiu's Yichun Palace.

Fortunately, Xiuxiu didn't care. With her care, Li Chengqian could rest assured.

Just after entering Yichun Palace, I saw Xiuxiu walking outside with a baby in a stroller.

Taking the cart from her hand and pushing Li Menghao, Li Chengqian said to Xiuxiu as he walked: "After a while, there will be craftsmen coming to Yichun Palace. When the time comes, please keep quiet. An authentic."

Xiuxiu was surprised and said, "You are doing this for safety? Then why didn't you dig in your Lizheng Hall, or Sister Su's Guangtian Hall?"

Li Chengqian said: "Lizheng Hall and Guangtian Hall often have outsiders coming and going, so it is naturally not safe there. Your Yichun Palace only has our own people in the East Palace, so it is easy to cover up. Besides, if it is necessary to use the tunnel, That pressure must have come from the western harem or the main entrance. The location of Yichun Palace is inconspicuous, and it is very suitable for retreat."

Pushing open the door, she saw Ashina Xue with a happy face.

Even the daughter of the prairie needs to be accompanied when she is pregnant with a child.

Over the course of a few months, her stomach has also grown enormously.Li Chengqian reached out and touched her belly for a while, but he didn't feel anything strange.

"I kicked me a few times today. Maybe it's because you're here. The child doesn't dare to move around."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "How can a child be frightened by his father? I didn't say that you should not eat so much milk dregs when you are pregnant. It is different from usual. You can't exercise now. It's easy Fat ones. If the labor is difficult at that time, what do you ask me to do?"

"Well, I'll be obedient if you say so."

After kissing Ashina Xue on the face, Li Chengqian lay down on the recliner, swaying and humming.

I was hooked by music today, and recalled the music I heard before.Because I haven't recalled or hummed for too long, I have forgotten the words of many songs.

In his previous life, he taught himself to play the guitar, and now in Datang, he was taught to play the piano by Li Gang.These two techniques, Li Chengqian is not ready to give up.

Just look at the emperor. People are oppressed by government affairs and surrounded by palace walls. Under all kinds of boredom, they can only think about music and dance. There is no one knows how many times the song "The King of Qin Breaks the Battle" has been changed.

Li Chengqian felt that it was necessary to worry about his future.

It's very interesting to spend the night here with Xiuxiu.Because there is a woman with a big belly, the bed is not far away, so when the two of them are doing things, there is a sneaky feeling, the feeling of blood and heartbeat beating together, it is really refreshing.

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian got up to do morning exercises even though his waist was a little uncomfortable.

When the talent went out, he saw Li Jian who was walking over.

At this moment, the genius is dim, and I don't know why this guy is here.

As he approached, Li Jian bowed his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, the slaves are here to pass on His Majesty's will, and they will be canceled this morning."

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "If the early court is cancelled, you don't need to come here yourself, just ask someone to pass the message."

Li Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty still has something to bring to His Majesty. Today His Majesty is going to receive Huiming, Huijue, Hongyuan, Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Wenxian, and Zhang Shouze. Your Highness may as well take a walk at the gate of the palace. If you see Sun Immortals and Master Xuanzang, why not invite them to sit in the East Palace."

Hearing this sentence, Li Chengqian immediately understood.Good guy, the people in the game finally see it clearly, or in other words, they are not going to act for the people outside the cage.The six people are probably the best characters from each of the Taoist and Buddhist schools.They met the emperor together, and it seemed that they were ready for a showdown.

At this moment, Li Chengqian even prayed that Daoist Sun and Xuanzang would not appear.The emperor's intention was obvious, that is, don't let the two of them get involved.Because on both sides of Buddhism and Taoism, the spiritual figures are actually the two of them, especially Sun Simiao, who even the emperor finds it difficult to exist.The two of them didn't even need to say anything, as long as they were in the camp, it was a deterrent.

And if the two of them don't come, wouldn't it be great to go to the Tai Chi Hall to watch a play?

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "Gu knows, you go back and tell Father, I will take care of this matter."

Turning his head to look at Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian ordered: "Inform your relatives and pay close attention to several North and South Avenues, especially Zhuquemen. If Daoist Sun and Xuanzang appear, please notify me immediately."

Zhang Yun took the order and quickly ran out to deliver the order.

The emperor took precautions, and Li Chengqian made arrangements, but Li Chengqian still felt that it was unlikely for the two of them to appear.After all, neither Sun Simiao nor Xuanzang are willing to be coerced into doing something that is not what they want.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, just after Li Chengqian completed his morning archery practice, he personally sent a message, and Sun Simiao and Xuanzang were actually in the team entering the palace.

Without changing his clothes, Li Chengqian ran with his head covered in sweat.

The distance from Mingde Gate to Chengtian Gate is shorter than the distance from Suzaku Gate to Chengtian Gate, and after entering Chengtian Gate, most of the visitors are on foot, so there is enough time.

Sure enough, when Li Chengqian ran to Chengtian Gate, he looked in the direction of Suzaku Gate, and could only vaguely see a row of figures.

After swallowing a pill and counting the time, Li Chengqian ran over to meet them.

The eight people were naturally the Buddhist and Taoist leaders who came to meet the emperor today with the last ray of hope.

Li Shimin is not as kind as Li Chengqian, and will find a way for them to step down.When there was even a bloody incident between the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, they were finally forced to calm down.Besides, the emperor's sowing dissension was very aboveboard, just waiting for them to find out.Therefore, it is not surprising that what happened today.

Hongyuan, Yuan Wenxian, and Zhang Shouze had never met the prince, but the other five knew each other.

Everyone stood still and saluted the running prince.

Just as he was about to approach, Li Chengqian's swaying hands stopped shaking, and they met in front of him and turned into a hand salute. However, he staggered under his feet, and suddenly fell to the ground. The screams scared everyone one jump.

Sky-Changing Monkey is even more of a showman, and with a tiger pounce, he came to Li Chengqian's side and shouted: "There are assassins!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the Tiantian Monkey, the guards following the morning exercise immediately dispersed and searched in all directions. Ten of them even took out their hand crossbows and aimed at Yuan Tiangang and others on the opposite side.

The same routine, the emperor also encountered.Sun Simiao's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Don't touch the prince, especially don't touch the prince's legs!"
