Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

At this moment, Li Tai and Li You are drinking with Tuli Khan in the Chunfeng Tower.

After drinking, Tuli Khan suddenly became interested in the street vendors outside.

So Li Tai and Li You accompanied Tuli Khan on the street, stopping and looking around.

It happened so suddenly.

More than a dozen people who were vendors suddenly overturned the stall, rushed out with swords, and the guards who followed immediately rushed up. Li Tai's face changed, and Li You was also shocked, but Li You quickly flashed to the place. On the one hand, when Li Tai was about to drag Tuli Khan to escape, Tuli Khan shook off Li Tai's hand and was about to rush towards the assassin who suddenly appeared. Li Tai exclaimed, seeing that Tuli Khan was about to When they hit the knife, Du Gou and Chang Sun Chong pulled Tuli Khan aside, and then Li Jing led the team to appear.

After Tuli Khan was pulled away by Du Gou and Changsun Chong, he suddenly knelt down like a wilted ball.

Li Jing walked towards Tuli Khan with a leisurely smile on his face, and squatted down with a smile on his face, "Khan, why are you in such a hurry to seek death? You have to go back to Turkic to be your county king!"

Li Tai was at a loss.

But Tuli Khan shook his head with a wry smile.

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said to Du Gou and Changsun, "Send Tuli Khan, His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and Qi Wang back to the palace!"

When Li Tai passed by Li Jing, he asked in a low voice, "General Li, what's going on?"

Li Jing smiled respectfully, "Your Highness, this minister is not very clear."

Li Tai took a deep look at Li Jing, not sure? !snort!Li Tai turned around and left with some anger in his heart.

But Li You had a strange expression on his face. He glanced at Li Jing, turned around and followed closely without asking any questions.

At this time, the soldiers of Lingxiao Villa had already put on their regular clothes, and stood in front of Li Ke and Changsun Wuji with solemn faces.

Li Ke slowly glanced around with his hands behind his back, then turned to look at Changsun Wuji, "Teacher, tell me."

Changsun Wuji nodded, took a step forward, glanced at the crowd indifferently, and then said in a deep voice, "The capture of Turkic spies is of great importance! You need to be careful, and you must not disappoint the trust of the emperor! Remember: don't disturb the people! Keep quiet Immediately arrest the spies as soon as they are discovered! If there is any difficulty, you are allowed to execute them on the spot! But, it is best, try to catch them alive!"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he waved his hand, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper came out with a tray. Changsun Wuji pointed to the contents on the tray, and said calmly, "Here is the portrait of the spy and the current location on it, everyone go forward and get it. Note, if executed, the head must be brought back for liquidation.”

After a pause, he shouted again, "Zhang San! Li Si!"

"The end is here!" The two young men immediately stood up and responded.

Changsun Wuji stared at the two people who stood respectfully in front of him, but neither humble nor overbearing, and said solemnly, "Lu Wang Li Yuanchang came to Beijing privately in violation of the imperial decree, and colluded with the Turks. It has been proven that the task of arresting Lu Wang is entrusted to you. After that, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, "This is the will."

Zhang San and Li Si looked respectful and solemn, and replied with a very calm expression, "The final general will obey the order." Afterwards, Zhang San stepped forward and took the jade pendant respectfully with both hands.

Li Ke stood aside, opened his eyes curiously, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart, isn't that the red jade wind and phoenix pendant bestowed by his father to his elder brother?

The soldiers all led out.

Wait for the soldiers to leave.Li Ke raised his head and asked, "Teacher, that seems to be the jade pendant of the eldest brother just now, right?"

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and looked at Li Ke, who could only see his chest and abdomen. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "That is the emperor's personal jade pendant, and it is also a symbol of the emperor's handwriting. However, four years ago, the emperor bestowed him on King Zhongshan... ..."

So this jade pendant still has such a great symbolic meaning?Li Ke's heart skipped a beat.But the emperor gave him to his elder brother?

"Your Highness..." Changsun Wuji watched Li Ke bow his head in thought, couldn't help but tighten his hands slightly, and couldn't help making a sound.

"Ok?"

"Your Highness...will you be willing?" Changsun Wuji stared at Li Ke closely and asked in a hoarse voice.I was nervous, and there were some fears that I couldn't express.

What are you afraid of?

What kind of answer did I expect from the boy I watched growing up in front of me?

Li Ke was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Changsun Wuji and smiled, the smile was still gentle, but a little more cunning, "Where's the teacher? Does the teacher hope that Xuan Lin will be willing?"

Changsun Wuji remained silent.What does he hope for?

Of course, it's better for Li Ke to be willing, and then he doesn't have to worry... But he can't say that!

Li Ke stared at the silent Changsun Wuji with a stiff face for a long while, then chuckled, put his hands behind his back, turned around, and said half jokingly and half seriously, "Teacher, your hope is Xuan Lin's hope."

In the Ganlu Hall, Emperor Taizong stood by the window sill with his hands behind his back, his face was calm, but his mind echoed repeatedly, "Father, isn't the son also your pawn now?"

He closed his eyes fiercely, his fingernails sank deep into the flesh of his palm, blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers, and fell drop by drop on the ground...

Li Fu stared at the dripping blood on the floor, and silently stood aside. At this moment, there was a dull atmosphere in the Ganlu Hall.

Until it was reported outside the hall, "Tuli Khan seeks to see you!"

Only then did Emperor Taizong slowly open his eyes, the depths of which were filled with ice. "Xuan!"

With Tuli Khan in front and Li Jing behind, he entered the Ganlu Hall.

Emperor Taizong still stood by the window sill, but turned around, looked at Tuli Khan, with a hearty smile on his lips, "Did Khan have a good time today?"

Tuli Khan smiled wryly, and slowly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Taizong raised his eyebrows, "Khan's ceremony is a bit heavy. You are the Khan of Tuli, and I am the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, so you should be the same generation as the ceremony."

Tuli Khan froze, but slowly and heavily kowtowed to the ground.No more words.

Emperor Taizong stared at Tuli Khan who was kneeling on the ground, his hearty smile slowly disappeared, and he sneered slightly, "Tuli, to be honest, I admire you very much for your willingness to die in exchange for Turkic stability, but, I don’t know if Khan has thought about whether Xieli can keep his promise? Can he really spare your subordinates, your wife and children? You are dead, it’s good, I believe that your subordinates will definitely join Xieli in order to avenge you But——, are you so sure that Xieli will win? To tell you the truth, this time, he will lose! Moreover, he will lose badly!" At the end, Emperor Taizong paused every word, with cold eyes Staring straight at Tuli Khan, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, the cold smile slowly deepened, "Do you think it's worth the price?"

Tuli Khan was startled.

"Finally, I can tell you that since I can make you die, I can also make you die well..." Emperor Taizong said slowly, his tone was light, and his smile was still cold.

Tuli Khan turned pale.

"But, don't worry, I won't kill you now. Turks still need you. From now on, you can stay in Chang'an City. When I get rid of Jieli, I will return to Turks and take good care of Turks. !"

Tuli Khan was taken aback, raised his head, looked at the calm face, and his tone was very indifferent, as if saying that the weather was fine today, Emperor Taizong was shocked. Could it be that he was so sure that the Tang Dynasty would be able to defeat the Turks? !

At this time, in the Wenhua Palace.

Shen Junyuan was squatting down to pick the broken leaves from a pot of flowers, when he heard a ding dong, Shen Junyuan subconsciously turned around, and saw a gold hairpin falling in front of him, he couldn't help being stunned.Immediately, he frowned subconsciously, searched around, saw Xu Zhu was on the big tree, and called out, "General Xu!"

Xu Zhu turned his head lazily, "What's the matter?"

Shen Junyuan pointed to the gold hairpin that fell to the ground and frowned, "What's going on?"

Xu Zhu yawned, and lazily replied, "Oh, a mouse came here."

Shen Junyuan stared at Xu Zhu and asked, "Since it's a mouse, why didn't you kill it?"

Xu Zhu turned over and landed on the ground, walked lazily to Shen Junyuan, glanced at the gold hairpin on the ground, and smiled, "I can't beat that mouse, there is no emperor's will, even if the mouse ran to shit on me, I would You have to admit it." At the end, Xu Zhu yawned again, pointed to the golden hairpin on the ground, and said with a smirk, "No, this is the queen's golden hairpin, pick it up if you want it."

Shen Junyuan looked cold, "The mouse belongs to Concubine Yang?"

Xu Zhu chuckled, "I didn't say anything."

Shen Junyuan squeezed the robe on his body slightly, and said in a deep voice, "General Xu, I want to see the emperor."

Xu Zhu raised his eyebrows, hey, are you finally going to see the emperor?Recalling what the emperor once told me, after the golden hairpin fell, unless Shen Junyuan asked to see him, otherwise...

Xu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Ganlu Hall, Emperor Taizong was discussing politics with Li Jing, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Cheng Zhijie who had reported back.

"Your Majesty, in this way, I can go beat up the Turkic dogs!" Cheng Zhijie yelled after finishing discussing the state affairs.

Emperor Taizong didn't smile as brightly as usual, but just pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, "Well, after August, let's prepare."

Turning to Li Jing, "When the time comes, bring Tuli with you, and if the situation is tight, use our established strategy."

Then he said lightly to Changsun Wuji, "The affairs of King Lu will be done according to what was agreed before. Let Zhang San arrange the rumors. He knows a lot about this matter. Be sure to let everyone in the world know that King Lu was Assassinated by the Turks!" After a pause, he said thoughtfully, "Don't destroy all the code letters between the King of Lu and the Turks, hand them over to Li Si, let him decipher them as soon as possible, maybe it will be useful to us..."

Both Changsun Wuji and Li Jing nodded respectfully.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie muttered and said, "This Li Yuanchang is quite cunning! If he didn't want to attack His Highness Zhongshan King, we wouldn't be able to catch him..."

As soon as Cheng Zhijie finished speaking, Emperor Taizong's eyes became even colder.But Changsun Wuji and Li Jing glanced at each other, subconsciously keeping silent.

The Palace of Ganlu suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Cheng Zhijie glanced left and right, touched his head, and asked Emperor Taizong puzzled, "Your Majesty, did I say the wrong thing again?"

Emperor Taizong said lightly, "From now on, don't mention this name in front of me!"

Cheng Zhijie froze and hurriedly nodded in response.

"There are more than these people here." Emperor Taizong said lightly. "At the Cuju meeting, Li Yuanchang couldn't do it alone. There are other people here, but everything ends here!"

Changsun Wuji thought about it for a while, and then said, "But your majesty, if you don't investigate carefully, I'm afraid they will harm you."

Emperor Taizong shook his head and said, "The time has not yet come."

Changsun Wuji is silent, the time has not yet come?Too……

After further elaboration, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie respectfully retired.

When leaving, Li Jing caught a glimpse of the blood on Emperor Taizong's palm, so he slowed down, waited for Changsun Wuji to step back, returned, saluted respectfully and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Emperor Taizong was picking up the memorial and preparing to review it. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked.

"Why don't I tell His Royal Highness King Zhongshan?" Li Jing asked in a low voice.

Emperor Taizong put down the memorial and asked with a sigh, "Do you think Gan'er is the kind of child who can't tell the priority and willful and savage?"

Li Jing shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Zhongshan is smart and well-behaved, definitely not like this!" After a pause, he added, "If His Highness King Zhongshan was such a child, the emperor would not treat him so favorably..."

Emperor Taizong smiled wryly in his heart. Sometimes, he wished that Gan'er would be more capricious, instead of such a well-behaved and sensible person making him feel bad...

"Gan'er, he knows... I use him as an introduction and treat him like a pawn..." Emperor Taizong said hoarsely.

It was something he cherished and loved with all his heart, but he had to take it out and make it a pawn...

"He knew, but he wasn't angry. Last night, he almost died, but he said he believed in me...he believed that I would definitely create a prosperous Tang Dynasty..."

What distressed him the most was that this pawn knew that he was just a pawn but let it be manipulated, coordinating with his chess game, step by step...trusting him, comforting him in turn...

Li Jing's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but looked up at Emperor Taizong, but he saw that Emperor Taizong's eyes were full of determination.

"Zhen, I will definitely let Qian'er see the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and let future generations pass on my vision of the prosperous age of Zhenguan!"

**********

In the Lizheng Hall, Concubine Yang stared angrily at Empress Changsun who sat calmly on the throne.

"Queen, don't you even want to explain?"

"Sister Yang, what should I explain?"

"The phoenix hairpin on your head!"

Empress Changsun smiled gently, "Sister Yang, what happened to my Fengchai?"

"Where is your Fengchai now?"

"Oh, I don't know where it is now?" Empress Changsun frowned slightly, sighed in distress, then turned to look at Concubine Wei who had been sitting indifferently, "Sister Wei, tell me, what should I do?" What should we do? This is a phoenix hairpin bestowed by the emperor himself!"

Concubine Wei looked at Empress Changsun's distressed face, but suppressed a smile in her eyes, and she couldn't help but smile, "Mother, don't worry, the lost things will always come back. After all, some things are yours. It’s your own, you can’t force it.”

After Wei Concubine finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin who was sitting silently.

When Concubine Yang heard this, her expression turned cold, "Sister Wei, what do you mean by that?!"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling." Concubine Wei said coldly.

"you--"

"Okay. Don't talk about it." Concubine Yin seemed to be quite embarrassed at this time and said, "My lady's phoenix hairpin has been lost, so let's help find it. Sister Yang, don't be angry, my lady didn't do it on purpose, right? Your Majesty, don't punish Sister Yang, she's just worried about you..."

Empress Changsun smiled gently, with a rather leisurely expression, "Sister Yang is worried about me, so naturally I won't blame her. Sister Wei is right, this thing will come back when it should, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Fu came in respectfully holding a plate, knelt down on the ground and saluted, then presented the plate, and said, "The servant is ordered by the emperor to return the mother's phoenix hairpin. The former sinner Yang Gao's pseudonym Shen Junyuan Colluding with the Turks, attempting to harm His Royal Highness King Zhongshan and the Empress, has pleaded guilty and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison! Please rest assured!"
