Tang's dining table

Li Hong, who was unable to follow his master to visit Hua's house, sat on a futon, and the person sitting next to him was Xu Jingzong.

Chunxi stood quietly on the edge of the curtain with her whisk in her arms, pretending that she didn't exist.

"Your Highness's whereabouts in Chang'an cannot be concealed from Yunchu and the others."

Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and looked like a master from this world.

"The lonely king knows that the master refused to take me to the brothel. He also knows that the reason why the master went back to the brothel to party was entirely to make an empty battlefield for Gu."

Xu Jingzong added: "Yunchu and the others know, Your Majesty, the Queen will also know.

Since His Majesty moved away from Chang'an, the control over Chang'an has become more and more strict. His Majesty can see this from the replacement of the Governor of Baiqisi in Chang'an every year. Therefore, what Your Majesty wants to do is very difficult. We can't make everyone in Chang'an known, let alone set off any trend in Chang'an. If we want to achieve such an effect, we must strike with thunder. "

Li Hong smiled and said: "There are three battles tonight."

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong and said, "Since Your Highness can bow his head and admit his mistakes in front of Huang Ruyu and the others, why can't he let go of the three people you mentioned?

Until now, they have only been monitoring His Highness' whereabouts and have not shown any real hostility.

Furthermore, the bad guys in Chang'an are extremely ferocious. Once His Highness's troops go out at night and encounter the bad guys, they may have no chance of escaping. "

Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Master, there is no need to ask about the relationship between Gu and Master. Our relationship is the same as that of Master. We are both Gu's most trusted people and we have nothing to say."

When Xu Jingzong heard this, his beard twitched, and he looked at Li Hong and said: "Yunchu is having a wild time at Hua's house at the moment. He has great trust in His Highness's abilities, which is far more than I do.

I just don’t know if His Highness can use the nearly three thousand bad guys in Chang’an tonight? "

Li Hong shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "In this case, I am not optimistic about His Highness's actions tonight."

Li Hong stood up, opened the window, looked at the wall of Yun's mansion in front of him, listened to the laughter of Li Si and Yun Jin coming from next door, and said to Xu Jingzong: "The outpost Xu Jingye has deployed in Chang'an has always been With the protection of Ying Gong and the others, the master cannot take action, so the lonely king just uses him to practice his skills."

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong in surprise and said, "Young Master?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "Xu Jingye's plan to encroach on Tuyuhun has been basically completed, and the lonely king does not want him to continue to become powerful."

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "It is reasonable to prevent wolf ambitions, but I don't know who the other two are?"

Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "The lonely king thought he was still Xu Jingye's minion."

"You think?" Xu Jingzong raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't this enough?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "That's enough. After all, His Highness lost some face with Huang Ruyu, and he should always get some back."

Li Hong smiled and said: "Since the Grand Tutor has agreed, I will give the order now."

As he spoke, he summoned Chunxi, whispered a few instructions, and Chunxi left in a hurry.

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong's tall figure and felt that Li Hong had become a lot stronger after coming to Chang'an. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was necessary for him to write a memorial to His Majesty at this time, so that His Majesty could get back to him as soon as possible. Recall the prince to Luoyang.

Here, Prince Li Hong was greatly influenced by Yunchu and his group.

Over the years, Xu Jingzong felt that Yunchu might be the most mysterious person among all Tang officials.

Although there were rumors that Yun Chu was the illegitimate son of Master Xuanzang, Xu Jingzong did not believe it. He knew Master Xuanzang very well, that he was a fool who was obsessed with Buddhism. This kind of person has an extremely strong will and cannot be accepted. Under the influence of sensual dogs and horses, an illegitimate child was born.

So far, Master Xuanzang still has a non-active, non-discriminating, and non-explanatory attitude towards whether Yun Chu is his son.

This may seem like an extremely ambiguous performance to others, but it is different for Xu Jingzong. He believes that Yunchu is a practitioner introduced by Buddhism to be responsible for walking in the world.

This person's origins are mysterious, but he also has brilliant abilities that no one can explain.

He was invincible in battles when he went out, and he was far better than ordinary people when he came back to manage the place. In ten years, Chang'an was transformed into what it is now, which is far beyond Xu Jingzong's understanding.

After a long period of research on Yun Chu, Xu Jingzong seemed even more confused. He thought that since Yun Chu was a member of the Buddhist sect, all his behavioral goals should be to promote Buddhism.

However, Yun Chu put all his energy on Chang'an City and the people of Chang'an City.

Just as he told the emperor, he wanted to cover the city of Chang'an with gold foil. As far as his current achievements are concerned, this goal has been achieved.

Xu Jingzong didn't believe it at all, not at all, for a person who had no desires and only wanted to do good things for the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an.

He always felt that in life, whether it was seeking fame, profit, or power, even seeking sex was a way of saying it. He could not understand Yun Chu's behavior that was not self-interested and only focused on benefiting others.

Xu Jingzong always felt that there was a black mist behind Yun Chu. Only when one day the black mist completely enveloped Chang'an would people see Yun Chu's true face and purpose.

Xu Jingzong was too lazy to pay attention to Li Hong, who was constantly placing flags on the sand table. There was only one reason why he was brought here by His Highness the Crown Prince tonight, and that was because His Highness the Crown Prince needed to kill people tonight. A witness is needed, or a scapegoat is needed.

Whether he is a witness or a scapegoat, Xu Jingzong has good experience in dealing with it.

The three kings of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor, the queen, and the prince, have begun a power game between them.

Xu Jingzong is no stranger to this kind of power game. His experience tells him that as long as there is a little friendship between these three kings, he, the witness, or the one who takes the blame will not have any big problems. Danger.

As long as he firmly remembers that he will be loyal to whomever he follows, there will be no big mistake. Of course, if the person he follows dies, he must change his family as soon as possible while he still has value. He must not A die-hard loyalist cannot continue to be loyal to him after the person he follows dies.

The premise of all friendship is that the person is still alive. After the person dies, it is like an oil lamp extinguished in the First World War, which is worthless.

Therefore, he doesn't care what Li Hong wants to do in Chang'an. He only cares about what Yunchu and the others are doing.

Because what Yunchu and the others are really doing is the important thing that the emperor and the empress want to know.

What was Yun Chu doing at this time? Of course he was singing. Surrounded by a room full of female fairies, he somehow managed to sing A Chinese Ghost Story.

"Look for the way forward and find the way to freedom in the world,

No matter how much water and mountains are gone, they can no longer be counted.

God never fails to ensure that my hometown will always be good.

All you can see are green mountains and green mountains, raining arrows and wind knives everywhere.

The road to my hometown is so long.

Taoism, Taoism, Taoism, and Taoism seek the way of the world.

Both demons and demons say that they are good

Winds, thunderstorms, heaven and earth, ghosts crying and gods howling..."

Yun Chu sang so happily that Zhong Kui's eyes were filled with stars and he was trembling all over. He always felt that he should write and sing this song.

Wen Wenwen has long been accustomed to strange things, and Di Renjie has also adapted to it. Only Lao He and Lao Huang just kept shouting "hello".

He gently patted Zhong Kui's broad back and said, "The musician should have written down the score. Ask him for this piece of music. When you sing it in front of my aunt in the future, it will be able to express your grief and anger at not being recognized for your talent." Love, get some more pity."

Zhong Kui shook his head and said, "Someone can't deal with plagiarism."

Wen Wen then shouted to Yun Chu: "Who wrote this song just now?"

Yun Chu looked at the excited Zhong Kui, then looked at Wen Wen, and immediately said firmly: "Zhong Kui wrote it."

Gentle asked: "Where was it written?"

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Of course I wrote it when I was in the Western Regions. That time, this guy got very drunk in the Gobi, weren't you there too?"

Wen Wen nodded and said, "I told you, but he didn't believe me."

Zhong Kui looked at Yun Chu, then looked at Wen Wen and said dubiously: "Did I really write it?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Yunchu is not a Taoist. This is obviously a Taoist tune. It is heroic and heartbreaking when sung generously. You should have written it."

With the endorsement of these three people, Zhong Kui also felt that it should be written by himself. He asked the musician for the gongchi score and looked at it for a while, then said to Yun Chu: "After all, it was written drunkenly, and the wording is not very particular."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then just rewrite the lyrics."

Zhong Kui shook his head and said: "Today is not the same as that time. The state of mind is different, the Taoist heart is different, and it cannot be changed."

After that, Zhong Kui took a pipa from the musician's hands. After slightly tuning the strings, he used the pipa to repeat the entire song that Yun Chu had just sung. There was no awkwardness in it.

After playing it twice, Zhong Kui started singing. Although his voice sounded like a broken gong, his voice was perfect for performing this piece of music.

Especially in the second half of the song, there was a sense of pathos that Yunchu didn't have.

...Why did the old country turn into a sea of ​​blood?

Why is Guyuan Road the road of no return?

Why did the old world turn into a sea of ​​blood?

Why is Guyuan Road the road of no return?

Asking where to find the truth in the human world...

Seeing Zhong Kui singing over and over again, getting more and more involved each time, Yun Chu put his head next to Wen Wen and said, "It's a bit rude."

Wen Wen sneered: "Anyway, you have a lot of things, and you can get them out anytime and anywhere. Helping Zhong Kui return to the right path can be considered as making the best use of them. This guy has gone astray in his studies. Listen, he is still fighting for himself from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood." I felt sad and angry when I climbed out."

Yun Chu didn't care about the ownership of this piece of music. How could a smart person like Zhong Kui be deceived by just a few words? However, he felt the sincerity of his friend from the words of the three of them, and then generously Just accepted it.

As for how to repay in the future, Zhong Kui has his own ideas.

"You taught a poisonous dragon..." Wen Wen's face looked a little heavy.

Yun Chu knew that Wen Wen was not talking about Zhong Kui.

"Sixty-three people died in a large courtyard in De'anfang next to Qixia Gate, and not only chickens and dogs were left alive.

In a scholar's house in Ngee Ann Square next to Deming Gate, thirty-nine people died, and the same chickens and dogs were not left behind.

In Chonghuafang next to Yanping Gate, eighty-seven Tubo people died without any intact corpses, half of them died under the Mo Dao. "

Yun Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Who are they?"

Wen Wen frowned and said: "It is not yet known whose subordinate the person who died in De'anfang was, but the scholar in Yi'anfang used to be the attendant of King Lu. As for the Tubo people, I judge that they should be related to He Lan Minzhi .”

Yun Chu asked: "How did you clean up the scene?"

He said softly: "The palace guards of the East Palace have cleaned up."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "He is a young man after all, and he will not suffer any losses. This is not going to work. He will have to endure it for many years..."
