wait for another year

"Returning to Lord Situ and Lord Sima, the prince did not invade the inner palace, but Deng Xiang led the troops out of the palace city. I am afraid that there will be hand-to-hand combat, and we will fight to the death inside the city!"

Shen Mi looked at Zhao Xu in surprise, "Have you discussed it with your Highness?"

Zhao Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "We two have a good understanding, what's so strange about that? I think I've already got half of the painting."

Shen Mi stroked his beard, "I never thought that Deng Xiang would go out of the city to fight in person."

"So, Deng is the only one who can be regarded as a man." Zhao Xu said coldly, looking at the scouts, "Does the lord have any other orders?"

"My lord said that Deng Xiang will definitely send someone to escort the female relatives to break out of the siege, so the generals must guard each gate."

Zhao Xu nodded, "Understood, please take care of your jade body, my lord."

He looked far into the city of Chang'an, and couldn't help but wonder how the people of Chang'an, who had been in peace for many years, would be terrified when they saw each other again.

The East and West markets are soft red ten feet, and the hundred squares are piled up with gold and jade, and now they are all gone...

He still remembers the scene of fun in the old days, when the fur horse was frivolous and passed through the bushes, but now, how many of the old people are there?

"Bai Su," Zhao Xu said softly, "Just as I told you earlier, when the war is over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can help Bai Zhi. I will give you 1000 taels of silver, and I have the right to settle down for you. .”

Although Bai Su is still a little bit unwilling to give up, it can be seen that Zhao Xu's expression is indifferent, and he knows that it is useless to force, so he has to retreat silently.

Shen Mi paid attention to the situation of the master and servant, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is a person who cherishes old love very much."

"Anyway, I have been with me in Saibei for a few years. Although I can't use him anymore, I won't lose him. By the way, what is Dugujiao doing now? Did he follow the prince into the city?"

"Should be, why, does Your Highness need me to send someone to watch him?" Shen Mi's heart trembled, what he was most afraid of was that Zhao Xu would start a dispute with Concubine Dugu prematurely.

Zhao Xu turned his head to look at him, and smiled, "Duko Dugu is a nobleman, and he is one of the prince's few brothers in this world. Naturally, I have to take care of him on behalf of the prince. Besides, this son has a stable heart. , will become a great tool, and can also become a great help for the prince."

Shen Mi smiled and said: "Wangfei always plans for the prince, she is really a role model for us."

"His name has violated the taboo of the prince. I asked the prince before, and he told me to take it for him. I have read the classics in the past few days, and only picked a few. You send someone to send it to the prince of Xiaoguo to have a look." , if he is not satisfied, I will summon great Confucian scholars again, and the power of the world's scholars will also make the Duke of the country happy."

Shen Mi looked at his crazy grass on the paper, "Yue, Dun, Shen... really, all of them have good meanings. The princess is so troublesome for Mr. Dugu, he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts, princess."

Zhao Xu waved his hand, "I don't think there will be a winner today, Mr. Shen should return to the tent earlier to rest."

"Yes."

After Shen Mi retreated, Zhao Xu got up and put on his cloak, and said to the guard Han Shishi who was accompanying him, "Take more than ten people and follow me into the city."

The hidden guards had long been used to him, so they didn't ask any more questions, and just obeyed his orders.So about half an hour later, the group entered Chang'an City and stood outside the desolate East City.

From Zhuque Street to the inside, the sound of soldiers and soldiers was deafening, and even the Zhuque Street dozens of miles away could be faintly heard.

"Go to Taixue."

Han Shishi hesitated to speak, "Your Highness, there are still people in Taixue in the midst of chaos?"

"Can't I go to pay homage to the past?" Zhao Xu pushed aside the curtain of the car, "pass on my words, and people will protect the Taixue, the Imperial Academy, the Jiaku of the Ministry of Officials, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, where there are a lot of papers. The soldiers were destroyed."

"Yes."

Zhao Xu closed his eyes and silently counted 570 times in his heart, and sure enough the carriage stopped slowly - from Dongshi to Taixue, he had walked this road countless times when he was young, and he was already familiar with it.

It's just that things are different and people are different. I don't know if the grass and trees are still the same?

Zhao Xu only brought two or three hidden guards with him, and entered the Taixue. As expected, both the classrooms and the school grounds were empty, and there was no sound of people.

When he walked to Zangshu Pavilion, he couldn't help being stunned—in the courtyard with decaying grass, an old Confucian scholar was drinking tea to enjoy the coolness very comfortably, and the flower stand next to him was covered with ancient books with yellowing pages to dry.

Zhao Xu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Ke is bothering you, I don't know what is your name and position?"

The old Confucian scholar raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then slowly got up and bowed, "The old man is scattered, and he is visiting the Imperial Academy for a while, so he won't be worried by the nobles."

Although Zhao Xu was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was elegant and elegant, and he wore a jade belt and wreath. At first glance, he was either rich or expensive. This old Confucian scholar saw some clues, so it was not surprising.

Zhao Xu didn't say much anymore, and stood in the courtyard calmly, as if he was really appreciating ancient books.

The old Confucian scholar remained silent all the time. The distance between the two was less than five meters, but they ignored each other. In the eyes of outsiders, the scene was extremely strange.

"How does a sage rule the world?" the old Confucian student asked abruptly.

Zhao Xu didn't answer, just smiled lightly, pointed to the sky, pointed to a certain classic on the ground, and then tapped her own chest.

The old Confucian scholar sat back and basked in the sun again.

Zhao Xu smiled, folded her hands in her sleeves, stood for a while, then said goodbye and left.

The old Confucian scholar looked at his handsome back, moved his eyes to the "Six Laws" he pointed to just now, and finally heaved a long sigh.

That night, while listening to Shen Mi's report on the comfort of Chang'an City, Zhao Xu listened to the military situation reported by the scouts, and then listened to someone outside the tent reporting, "Lord Situ, someone just brought in a wooden box and didn't report it. He didn't ask to see him, and he walked away when the things were delivered. We thought it was weird, but we couldn't stop him."

Zhao Xu's heart moved, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is he an old Confucian student with a goatee?"

"Exactly."

Suddenly there was an unbelievable guess, Zhao Xu got up and went to meet him, "Submit it soon."

Seeing that Shen Mi was not clear, Zhao Xu explained: "The edict that Chen Bingwen desperately protected earlier may have disappeared!"

After all, the inner eunuch just delivered the wooden box, Zhao Xu opened the wooden box, and there was indeed a booklet and a bright yellow scroll inside.

Zhao Xu quickly cleaned his hands, burnt incense on the tablet of the late emperor, and then took it out with both hands.

Sure enough, it turned out that both the Deng family and Suzhou had been looking for the living note and will for many years.

Shen Mi immediately prostrated himself on the ground, weeping and said: "The ancestors protect you, the late emperor protects you!"

Zhao Xu had mixed feelings, "Come here, tell the prince quickly, and say that the master is famous and the great cause will be accomplished!"
