The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

Rubbing her eyes, Cun Xin remembered that today she had to go to Dongshi to buy pepper, myrrh, musk, and other fragrances, and immediately wanted to be hooded, pretending to be seriously ill occasionally.When she was tossing and turning, she still resigned herself to getting up and approving clothes. When cleaning her face, Cun Xin suddenly shook her hands—no, Yang Jian hasn't come back yet!

It was dark last night and he left. With Yang Jian's skill, he couldn't even control the little cat ghost. Cun Xin thought that Li Dan and his son were also in the palace at that time, so what happened?The dragon girl was stunned, she forgot to wipe off the water stains on her face, she was stabbing her hands, her mind was in a mess like a thread that couldn't be pulled apart.Suddenly, Madam Qian's voice sounded outside the door: "Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Qian is here to serve you."

Cun Xin turned around abruptly, not wanting to bring the copper basin to the ground, and with a "bang bang", the skirt was drenched.After hearing this, the nanny outside the door quickly asked: "Ma'am, don't worry, the city is under martial law today, we can't go out, you can clean up slowly." Cun Xin became more and more frightened, and hurriedly used a spell to put away the cover water, walked a few steps and opened the door to ask Said: "It was fine yesterday, why is it under martial law today?"

The old mother smiled and said: "There was a letter from the inner court last night, your Majesty..." She rolled a tube in one hand and put it in Cun Xin's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty is surrounded by two masters, Zhang and Jing. Yingxianyuan! They also said that Yuan Sima had led troops to kill the two goblins in charge of the crane, so early this morning, You Yulin guards sent troops to seal the city gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Now the streets are full of Soldiers, even the door of the workshop is closed—madam, you said, this is about to change, right?"

Cun Xin's hand holding the door frame was clenched in cold sweat—"Master Zhang" is Zhang Jianzhi, the official of Fengge Luantai Pingzhang, who was promoted by Empress Wu himself; Crown Prince Li Xian's confidant; Sima Yuan Shuji is a member of Prime Minister Li Dan, and General Li Duozuo of You Yu Linwei is the commander of the forbidden army left by Gaozong Li Zhi.That is to say, last night Li Xian and Li Dan teamed up to persuade Zhang Jianzhi, led people loyal to Li Tang's royal family to instigate a mutiny, put the Empress under house arrest, and killed Zhang Yizhi's brother who was in charge of the Crane Prison!

What about Yang Jian?Yang Jian went to Yingxianyuan to protect Wu Zhao yesterday, where is he now?Cun Xin's face was bloodless, she knew that Yang Jian would be fine, but she became hasty, overnight Li Tang's forces had taken control of the Forbidden City, sharpened their knives and started killing, Yang Jian was involved, he was ordered to protect Empress Wu, How will it end now?

Cun Xin made up her mind, and said to the old woman: "Since you can't get out, I'll trouble you to check yesterday's arrangement again to see if there is anything wrong, and then we can make plans." The mother smiled and said: " I see, whether or not this marriage will work out is up for debate." Seeing Cun Xin was surprised, she said again: "This girl's father is Empress Wu's nephew, and Empress Wu has fallen, why should we marry her?" Seeing Cun Xin speechless , the old woman gave a blessing and turned around.

Cun Xin felt uneasy, but Li Dan, his son and Yang Jian hadn't returned yet, so he had to force himself to inspect the new house, and then dealt with some chores.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yang Jian sitting beside the tea table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, quite relaxed.Seeing Cun Xin, the heart that had been hanging for half a day finally settled down, but she refused to show it on her face, she just said indifferently: "Is it done?"

Seeing her come back, Yang Jian took another teacup, filled Cun Xin's, said with a smile, "This year's new Bizhu purple bamboo shoots, try it." Pick up the tea and take a closer look.

"This Bizhu purple bamboo shoot is a tribute tea, and Da Neidu has just used it, so you should get some first." Cun Xin took a sip and said, the tea color is clear and bright, and it is frivolous and sweet when she tastes it, which makes her feel at peace. few.Yang Jian smiled silently: "I saw you in Yingxianyuan today, so I took some casually."

"You..." Cun Xin laughed, "The majestic god of justice actually stole Empress Wu's private collection!"

"Yu Sheng blows the old green peach blossoms, and Shi Ding cooks purple bamboo shoots." Yang Jian smiled, "Then Wu Zhao asked me to save her life, so she should thank me with some tea."

When Yang Jian arrived at Yingxianyuan last night, Prince Li Xian, Zhang Jianzhi and Jing Hui had led troops to surround the palace.When Yang Jian used a trick to sneak into the soldiers of the imperial army to watch, he saw Li Xian wearing his armor and going straight into the hall, and motioned for his servants to present Er Zhang's head to Wu Zhao for viewing. The empress was so startled that she sat up straight from the couch, He shouted: "Is this what you did? Now that the second son is under execution, you can return to the palace immediately!"

Before Li Xian could answer, Jing Hui, the You Cheng in the middle stage next to him, said anxiously: "The prince cannot return!" He turned to Wu Zhao with a respectful expression, but said without hesitation: "The two have no virtue and no talent, this is the wrath of the emperor, It's not just His Majesty who punished you. It's against the heavens, so I beg Your Majesty to make a decision."

After hearing this, Wu Zhao just lay down inward without saying a word.Prince Li Xian was at a loss, looked to Jing Hui for help, Jing Hui giggled, clasped his fists at Li Xian and said, "Your Highness, you should stop and let it mess you up. Now that you are riding a tiger, you should not have the kindness of a woman. Does Your Highness want to follow the example of Zhang Huai Crown Prince?"

That Li Xian frowned, Zhanghuai Crown Prince Li Xian is his elder brother, the second son of Empress Wu, handsome in appearance and quick in wit.During Gaozong's reign, he tried to supervise the country as a prince, and won praise from the government and the public.Unexpectedly, in the second year of Tiaolu, he turned against Empress Wu, deposed him as a commoner for treason, and forced him to commit suicide. He was only 29 years old.

And Li Xian himself was deposed as the Queen of Luling in the first year of Guangzhai, and traveled to Junzhou, Fangzhou and other places for 15 years.With a body of golden branches and jade leaves, he was in constant fear all day long, often waking up in dreams, and when he saw the envoys coming, he was like a frightened bird, and almost committed suicide.Thanks to Princess Webster's consolation, she said, "How often do misfortunes and blessings depend on you? You and I will inevitably die, why rush for a while!" Only then did they suffer until the second year of the Holy Calendar, and Wu Zhao summoned him back to the Eastern Capital, where he was reinstated. Prince.All the unbearable sufferings in his life are all thanks to the holy emperor in front of him. Today he holds the imperial army in his hand and decides life and death with a single word. Prince Zhang Huai is Yin Jian!

Thinking of this, Li Xian touched the sword on his waist with his right hand. He was already weak, his bony fingers were turning white, and he was holding on to the hilt of the sword tightly, as if he was gathering the last strength, when he suddenly heard a person behind him come out Said: "Your Highness, wait a minute!"

Li Xian turned his head, only to see that person dressed in white, tall and tall, standing in a hall of armored warriors, like a jade tree in the wind, and a bud in snow, it makes people forget the world at first sight.He only heard his expression calm, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the former son Zhang didn't understand the siege of the sand dunes, and killed his father King Zhao Wuling. He lost the way of a son of man. In the end, the fortune of the country declined, and the kingdom of thousands of chariots surrendered to tigers and wolves. Strong Qin. However, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, father and son, close to virtuous ministers, so the rule of Zhenguan began to come into being at home. Your Highness should wait for Yang to speak to His Majesty. If Your Majesty does not allow it, how about we come up with a better plan?"

Li Xian didn't know this person, so he looked at Zhang Jianzhi who was at the side.The Prime Minister said softly: "This is a doorman in the Prime Minister's Palace. Mr. Yang is jealous. He has the talent to know the world and the wisdom of the world. Your Highness may wish to listen to his words."

Seeing Li Xian's chin and head gesture, Yang Jian walked to Empress Wu's bed and said softly: "In the past, the emperor entrusted His Majesty with his beloved son, but now the prince has lived in the East Palace for a long time, and he is already old. Suffering, this day belongs to the Li family with personnel affairs."

That Wu Zhao turned his head slowly, his dazed eyes swept over Yang Jian's face, and suddenly his body trembled.Holding her upper body up with difficulty on her elbows, she stretched out her other hand towards Yang Jian, and murmured, "You...are you a permanent resident?" She shook her head unconfidently, lowered her arms and said, "No, the permanent resident is already dead. ,died......"

Li Xian who was behind him was also startled, he only felt that Yang Jian seemed to have known him before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, but it turned out that this person's facial features resembled that of Zhou Guogong He Lanminzhi!It's just that He Lanmin was exiled to Lingnan by Empress Wu in the second year of Xianheng, and ordered people to hang him in Shaozhou by horse bridle—even if he lived to this day, he should be in his sixtieth year, and he could never be so young.

Yang Jian didn't seem to notice it, and he bowed to Wu Zhao and said: "All the ministers sincerely obey the will of God, and I hope that your Majesty will pass on to the crown prince, so that the descendants of the emperor and queen will last forever. This is the great fortune of the world. I hope your majesty will think twice."

Wu Zhao stared at Yang Jian in a daze, muttered something, pointed to the bookshelf with a finger full of veins, slowly closed his eyes, lay down and said nothing more.

As soon as Zhang Jian waved his hand, a warrior stepped forward, groped for a moment, pried open a hidden compartment on the bookshelf with a dagger, and took out a jade seal, engraved with eight big characters: "The emperor's life is bright, and the virtuous one prospers", which is exactly the holy book. The Xuanxi Seal of the Divine Emperor's Order.Li Xian was overjoyed and ordered all the attendants in Yingxianyuan to be removed and replaced with eunuchs brought by the East Palace. He also ordered Li Zhan, Wang Tongjiao and others to lead troops to guard them before leading them away.
