Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

Chengqian sat in a wheelchair, and Xiao Yinzi behind him pushed him forward slowly.The direction to go is the Lizhengjeon.

At dusk, the sky is full of colorful clouds.

The corridor from Qihui Hall to Lizheng Hall is very quiet.

There seemed to be some human voices in the distance, but it seemed very far away.

Cheng Qian glanced at the scenery outside the corridor, the petals were fluttering, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the wind.

Is it almost the end of summer?

Looking up into the distance, the Lizheng Palace is right in front of you.

Recalling that a few days ago, the emperor said lightly, "Shen Junyuan can live, but your mother may not escape the guilt."

Chengqian's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"There is an inexplicable relationship with the criminals of the previous dynasty. Even if they are innocent, do you think your mother can escape the crime?"

Cheng Qian pursed his lips tightly, he knew that this was the worst kind of privateness in the court.

What's more, no king can tolerate his woman thinking about other men, even if he doesn't love this woman at all.

Father... In fact, it is already "magnanimous" enough.

But, instead of that, it would be better...

Walking slowly all the way, I finally arrived at the Lizheng Palace.

Feng Ye came out of the Lizheng Hall in a hurry, saw Cheng Qian, raised a smile on his face, stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Your Highness."

"Aunt Fengye, where is my queen mother?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, your empress is in the back garden."

"Aunt Fengye, how is my mother today? Is she feeling better?" Cheng Qian looked at the back garden not far away, and turned to ask Fengye behind him.

A while ago, because of Shen Junyuan's incident, Empress Changsun fell ill.

Feng Ye replied softly, "Your Majesty is much better today, and she has eaten more. The imperial doctor came to ask for pulse in the morning, and said that as long as your Majesty takes good care of her, it would be best."

Take care of yourself?Cheng Qian thought for a while.Looking up, she saw Empress Changsun staring at the dancing peach blossoms all over the sky in a daze.

Cheng Qian was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Fengye, when did you plant the peach blossoms in the back garden?"

"A while ago... that race." Maple Leaf replied hesitantly.

Chengqian is silent.Looking at the eldest grandson empress gazing at the peach blossoms again, she became more determined in her decision.

*******

Chang'an City, Chunfeng Building, Xuemei Pavilion

Changsun Wuji poured wine one after another in a dull manner.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, Du Ruhui spoke first, "Brother Changsun, don't drink this wine so fast."

"Yes, yes, this fine wine must be tasted slowly."

Changsun Wuji put down the wine glass abruptly, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling shut their mouths instantly.

The room was dull.After a while, Changsun Wuji said coldly, "I've been tricked."

Thinking of a few days ago, for the matter of Shen Junyuan, he made some small moves in private, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by the emperor, and was severely reprimanded. Most importantly, he got involved with Guanyin's maidservant, and now he is in and out of the palace. There are many rumors!

But afterwards, when I calmly thought about it, I felt something was wrong!

If the emperor was really angry at himself for saving Shen Junyuan, why didn't he reprimand King Zhongshan instead of reprimanding himself?If the emperor is unwilling, how can there be rumors inside and outside the palace?

The emperor is clearly planning something!

Du Ruhui shook his head and sighed, "Brother Changsun, I didn't blame you, you are too impulsive!"

"You shouldn't have interfered with Shen Junyuan's matter! Both you and King Zhongshan should avoid suspicion." Fang Xuanling also shook his head and said.

Changsun Wuji just pursed his lips tightly and stared at the wine glass on the table, and said in a muffled voice, "I know I was impulsive. I didn't think carefully, but I don't understand! Why... the emperor wants to calculate like this?! What is the real purpose? What?!"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also thought about it separately, Du Ruhui thought for a while, and then asked, "Could it be... to lure out the people behind?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "The emperor has already said, this matter ends here."

But Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh, "Don't think about it when I tell you. Haven't you heard of it? Holy will is unpredictable!"

Changsun Wuji picked up the wine glass and drank it down. Feeling bitter, he put down the wine glass and murmured, "Holy will is unpredictable, holy will is unpredictable..."

********

On the outskirts of Chang'an, in a villa.

"I lost."

"Never mind, though. We still have a chance."

"Opportunity..."

"Be patient! His Highness King Qi is only 12 years old now!"

"Do you think His Royal Highness King Qi will succeed?"

"Hey, I just think His Royal Highness King Qi is easy to control."

"That's true! But don't forget, there are King Wu and King Zhongshan! Hou Junji under King Wei is not easy to mess with..."

"So, as I said, we still have a chance..."

*********

At this time, in the Ganlu Palace, Emperor Taizong was sitting behind the imperial case, reviewing the memorial.

Before the trial, Xu Zhu knelt down respectfully.

"So, those mice have escaped?" After approving a memorial, Emperor Taizong picked up another one, staring at the memorial in his hand intently, but asked casually.

"If you go back to the emperor, the mice will leave a few little mice and run away. Do you want my minister to catch them?"

Emperor Taizong put down the pen in his hand, and said calmly, "Forget it. The time has not come yet. Those mice are still useful."

Xu Zhu should be respectful.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Taizong said, "Just follow up with that mouse named Yin, and let the others go for now."

Xu Zhu was startled, and then asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, where is King Qi..."

Emperor Taizong paused slightly when he picked up the pen, and then sneered, "Since he has half of the blood of the Li family, I will give him another chance!"

Xu Zhu kowtowed and said yes.

"This time, you did a good job. Go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Xu Zhu left Ganlu Hall and walked to a secluded road, he was slightly relieved.

If it wasn't because he was in the Second Imperial Guard, if it wasn't because he was one of the earliest cronies who followed the emperor, he might not know what the emperor did in this seemingly simple incident of Turkic spies?

The purpose of Tuli Khan coming to Beijing to accept the canonization was only to arouse Turkic hatred of Tang Dynasty, provoke war, and profit from it.

A remnant of the previous dynasty joined forces with King Lu and the Turks to capture Shen Junyuan, who came to Beijing to present glazed lanterns, and coerce him to work for them. He entered the palace, planted poisonous flowers, took the opportunity to murder Tuli Khan, and started a war.

The emperor knew about this early in the morning, but kept his composure, stayed put, played a high-profile Cuju competition, watched Shen Junyuan enter the court with cold eyes, and even had contact with the empress, helping those rebellious parties get the empress's phoenix hairpin, forcing the real Shen Junyuan, who was able to leave safely, had no choice but to surrender himself. Then, he connived at King Zhongshan's rescue of Shen Junyuan...

The emperor is fueling the flames here, deliberately ignoring and conniving, what is the reason for?

Xu Zhu stroked his chin and thought as he walked.

Here, what did the emperor get?

First, the emperor clarified the direction of the ministers of the DPRK and China at the Cuju Competition.They are King Wei, King Qi, and King Wu. The main ministers are all concentrated in these three, and there are some special but very important ones, such as Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, etc. are here in King Zhongshan.Secondly, the emperor saw the direction clearly, the ministers also saw the direction clearly, and also saw the strength of the princes.For example, King Zhongshan, though disabled, is intelligent and stable, and King Wu is smart and low-key.

Second, the emperor got the information about the Turks. The Tuli Khan failed this time and was disheartened. He not only expressed his surrender, but also took the initiative to come up with the information about the Turks.

In the end, what Xu Zhu couldn't understand was, why did the emperor force Shen Junyuan to show up?And why did he indulge King Zhongshan to rescue Shen Junyuan, and dragged Changsun Wuji into the water?

Wouldn't this put the empress's position in jeopardy?The eldest grandson family is now under the pressure of a lot of gossip outside!

Xu Zhu stopped abruptly. Could it be that this is the emperor's final goal?Force the queen to leave? !

Do not!This is impossible!

Xu Zhu couldn't help but laugh, how could the emperor do such an outrageous thing?

***********

"This is your purpose, right? Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun stared at Emperor Taizong whose back was turned to her, with a bitter smile on her lips.

At this time, there were only two people in the side hall of the Lizheng Hall.

"Do you dare to say that you won't tell Gan'er about it in the future?" Emperor Taizong's voice was extremely flat.

Empress Changsun replied awkwardly, "That's my son."

"So, you have to go." Emperor Taizong turned around slowly, looking at Empress Changsun standing in front of him with a calm expression.

"I don't want Gan'er to hate me one day, and I don't even think that I will have to do things that make Gan'er painful... Guanyin maidservant, although there is no love between you and me, over the years, you and I are Friend. You know me, and I know you. You know my stubbornness, and I understand yours. Just as you can force yourself not to think about Shen Junyuan, force yourself to do things you don’t like..., so do I I force myself not to think about it day by day..." Emperor Taizong's voice was hoarse and bitter.

"That's your son!!" Empress Changsun finally roared unbearably, her tears streaming down her cheeks, her voice choked up, "For your throne, Gan'er lost his leg... You already owe Gan'er! You Now...how can...how can you still deprive Gan'er of her life's happiness?! Your Majesty, I beg you!" Empress Changsun knelt down slowly, her tears could not stop, "You are the emperor, what do you want in this world? There is no one! Just let Ganer go. Can you let Ganer go with me?!"

Emperor Taizong just closed his eyes slightly, opened them slowly after a while, "We said four years, right?"

"Four years, Avalokitesvara maidservant, four years later, I will take over the cadre. At that time..." Emperor Taizong's voice slowly fell, "I hope everything will be different..."

Empress Changsun smiled happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Taizong just turned around silently and left slowly step by step.

Li Fu was waiting not far from the side hall of the Lizheng Palace, and when he saw Emperor Taizong coming out, he followed him silently.Waiting to catch a glimpse of the blood oozing from the gap between the hands of Emperor Taizong's back.My heart skipped a beat, but then I let out a low sigh.

Emperor Taizong walked slowly, passing through the corridor, and turning around in front of his eyes was the Qihui Hall.

But Emperor Taizong just stopped slowly, staring quietly at the back garden of Qihui Hall not far away.

Emperor Taizong was in a very good position at this time. He could see the people in the back garden at this time, but the people in the back garden could not see him.

He saw the young man in the wheelchair raise a peaceful smile, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and he wasn't particularly pretty, but in his eyes, that young man's smile and eyes were the prettiest in the whole world.

That was his son, his Li Chengqian.

He thought that he could put him in a place within his reach and wait for four years.

He thought that he had enough patience and self-control to wait.

He originally thought that he could be ruthless enough to drag him into the hell of immorality and incest...

but--

Give up, don't, get.

Standing silently, staring, until the boy turned around and entered the back garden, he slowly turned around and turned in another direction.

"Li Fu, tell me, is four years long?"

"If you return to the emperor, four years is not long."

"Li Fu, what should I do if I regret it?"

"If you go back to the emperor, in fact... four years is really not long."

"Four years..."
