Chang'an Palace City.

Emperor Li Yan was playing with a group of eunuchs and palace maids on the dragon boat in Xi Neiyuan. The game was not a novel game, it was just a pot. Everyone formed a large circle. There was a green-glazed vase in the center of the circle more than ten steps away, with a few scattered feather arrows inserted inside, and there were more than a dozen feather arrows scattered outside the vase.

At this time, it was a beautiful and plump palace maid. She lost several of them in succession but couldn't get them. A burst of laughter immediately sounded around her. Li Yan, who was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed her legs and drank a sip of wine. Seeing that the palace maid who pouted was particularly cute, she immediately laughed: "If you accept the punishment, you will have to get three glasses of wine if you miss the five. Come and drink it!"

The palace maid looked very upset, but in fact she had a look of success in her eyes. She walked three steps to Hu's bed and knelt down, looking up at Li Yan pitifully: "Can your Majesty let me drink less? If you drink three cups at once, I will definitely get drunk, so I can't serve Your Majesty."

Li Yan was very happy and waved his hand to order someone to serve the wine glass: "You can't drink it all at once, you can drink it slowly. I have time, so don't worry."

The palace maid slowly drank two glasses, covered her forehead and shaking, her waist bent, and her delicate body leaned on Li Yan's leg. Seeing that Li Yan was not angry, the palace maid mustered up the courage and said in a sweet voice: "Your Majesty, I don't have much alcohol, please punish your majesty..."

"It's okay, come and sit up, I forgive you for not guilty." Li Yan laughed loudly, and took advantage of the opportunity to hug the palace maid who had stood up, and his hands were already restless.

The eunuchs and palace maids around him did not have any surprises when they saw this scene, and they were obviously commonplace. Only the two palace maids who believed that they were good-looking were full of envy and jealousy at this moment. They laughed and continued to play games in a blink of an eye, so that they could find the opportunity to sit next to the emperor.

Although the emperor was an ignorant emperor and his situation was miserable, these palace maids were all toys in the hands of the emperor at any time, even if the emperor was no longer qualified to handle political affairs. In this deep palace, if he could not be favored by the emperor, he would have nothing and be favored by the emperor. At least in the circle of the palace, he could still be proud and have a good time.

They can't control the affairs outside the palace and are not qualified to control them.

From time to time, a young and clever eunuch came to Li Yan and leaned over and said softly: "Your Majesty, please see King Qi."

Li Yan immediately became restless, and his restless hands left the warmth and softness. His whole body seemed to be gone, "Let him come here."

"yes."

When the eunuchs and palace maids around him heard that King Qi was coming, they all stopped playing games and divided them into two rows to retreat to one side, lowered their eyebrows and nodded, breathed cautiously, and wrote them on their faces without any concealment.

When Li Yan saw the gesture of everyone meeting a god, a nameless anger arose in his heart, and in an instant, he became angry and violent. However, in a flash, he seemed to pour a basin of cold water on the head, without any resentment or anger, only deep sorrow and helplessness.

Li Maozhen has already walked on the dragon boat.

King Qi, wearing a royal robe, has a slender figure and a majestic spirit. He walks with his hands behind his back, and his steps are neither too fast nor too slow. He has always had the demeanor of dominating the world. In comparison, even though Li Yan sat upright at this moment, he had no energy and was really unable to show off.

"My minister Li Maozhen, please see Your Majesty!" Li Maozhen performed rituals in a manner, with meticulous movements and a voice neither light nor heavy.

"Love, I am calm." Li Yan spoke lightly, and there was a pretended and unconfident majesty in his words. Before the other party could stand up, he immediately asked, "Love, I am entering the palace, what's wrong?"

Standing among Yingying and Yanyan and the beardless eunuch, Li Maozhen is like the bright moon on the starry night, with dazzling light.

He seemed to be ruled, but his eyes were filled with contempt for Li Yan - the strong looked down on the weak: "I heard that Your Majesty has been having too much fun recently and often stayed all night long, so I went to the palace to give advice. I hope Your Majesty should focus on dragon bodies and pay attention to rest. If you can have less fun and care more about national affairs, it would be a blessing for the country."

After hearing these words like an elder, Li Yan's face turned red and felt greatly humiliated. He was so ashamed that others would only accuse Li Yan of being foolish and impolite, and praised King Qi for his loyalty and courageous advice, but because he could not stand the other party's attitude of being so tough.

That is the great shame of the king and the great honor of the powerful ministers.

For ministers, it is naturally very pleasant to criticize the emperor.

Li Yan had a gloomy face: "Does King Qi have anything else to report?"

Li Maozhen said: "This is all I want to say."

Li Yan's face suddenly became extremely difficult to see.

The so-called entertainment all day and night is certainly not something that has happened recently, and it has always been like this. The reason why Li Maozhen came to him today was because two days ago, he was told by the eunuchs around him that the cost of the palace was tight and there was no money, and the supply of fine wine, food and clothing was a problem. So Li Yan sent someone to tell Li Maozhen and asked him to allocate money.

Li Maozhen entered the palace today and was so tough. Of course, he was dissatisfied with Li Yan's request for money and told him that he would not increase his expenses.

How could Li Yan suffer this?

Li Yan stared at Zhuoran and stood up, and Li Maozhen, who was very kind, took a lot of effort to convince himself not to feel ashamed. He said coldly: "Li Maozhen! You must remember that I am the king and you are the minister, and there is not only you, the vassal king in this world!"

Li Yan's sudden courage to say such tough words surprised Li Maozhen, but he still smiled casually: "What can I do if there are many vassal kings? Li Maozhen doesn't take it seriously even if he is a miserable person."

Li Yan's eyes were red: "Don't you know that King An - has appeared again?!"

Li Maozhen was stunned for a moment, her eyes sank twice, "Your Majesty knows this?"

Seeing Li Maozhen's expression, Li Yan felt very happy and proudly raised his chin: "I will naturally know what I want to know!"

Li Maozhen controlled Guanzhong, Chang'an, the palace, and his people inside and outside, and he was particularly meticulous in taking care of Li Yan. In this case, news that Li Yan should not know can still be transmitted from outside the palace, which shows Li Maozhen's incompetence and the deep emperor's background.

Li Maozhen quickly restrained her expression and returned to calmness. He chuckled: "King An may not have gone to the Immortal Realm, but will he come to Chang'an? Even if he comes, does Your Majesty think he will not see Li Maozhen first?"

Li Yan's pride suddenly stiffened on his face.

"Your Majesty has a good rest, I will leave." Li Maozhen saluted, retreated, and then turned around and left when he reached the side of the boat.

Looking at the other person's back, Li Yan clenched his teeth, feeling ashamed and angry.

But soon, he snorted coldly and said to himself in an unwavering tone: "As long as Brother Ye is still in the mortal world, you traitors will die sooner or later. Let's see how long you can still be rampant!"

......

In the afternoon, as usual, Li Maozhen met with important officials and staff.

In the pavilion room next to the bamboo forest of rockery, Li Maozhen sat in the main seat, Zhao Bingkun lived in the lower head, and there were only two of them in the house.

After talking about the main thing, Zhao Bingkun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness is going to the palace today?"

Li Maozhen glanced at him, "Not only did he go to the palace, but he also heard that His Majesty knew about King An's appearance."

Zhao Bingkun had a smile on his face as Jizhu held: "Your Majesty should be very happy."

"It's not just about being happy, but also very arrogant." Li Maozhen laughed.

Zhao Bingkun said: "Your Majesty thought he could get the news, but his people concealed it from our surveillance, but he didn't know that the news was intentionally revealed to him by His Highness."

Li Maozhen said lightly: "The most important thing for King An to appear again is to join forces with me, so he naturally has to pass by Chang'an. With his relationship with Li Yan, he naturally has to go to the palace to pay homage. With King An's power, it is reasonable to let Li Yan get news in advance."

Zhao Bingkun nodded with sharp eyes, "It seems that 'Li Congjing' is in a good condition, which makes His Highness make up his mind to use him to pretend to be An."

A strange color flashed through Li Maozhen's eyes, and he was silent for a moment, "It's really good. After training for so long, he can almost distort the real thing. When he memorizes what he should memorize, he should come out... Gao Pian and Wang Jian's troops are about to enter the Central Plains, and they will not leave us too much time."

Zhao Bingkun was ready to go, "I finally waited for this day, compete for the Central Plains, and make the world a big decision! This time, our military strategists can definitely laugh to the end!"

......

Shenyun Mountain.

The small pitiful Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is still there, but the Taoist is no longer the Taoist people before.

Under the starry night, two people stood on the eaves of the house, dancing endlessly in front of the crescent moon.

One of them looked at the stone tablet in front of the Taoist temple with his hands behind his back, and was filled with emotion: "A few years ago, King An understood the Taoist texts left by Master Yuan Tian, ​​and used the Taoist mechanism in the text to repair his own spiritual roots, and achieved the cultivation of Qi in one fell swoop."

The person who spoke was Chu Nanhuai.

Mo withdrew his eyes to Su Emei in the starry sky and threw him on the stone tablet, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Chu Nanhuai held his sleeves with his hands, and said in a complicated way: "In the Kunlun Incident, King An ascended to immortality. You and I took Cui Keli to walk fast enough that they were not surrounded and killed by Li Maozhen, Gao Pian and others. Now Cui Keli has returned to the Central Plains. When he left, he was finally no longer in a state of dismay. He also tried his best to defend King An's foundation, inherit King An's unfinished ambitions, and support the country and eliminate the treacherous thieves and revival the Tang Dynasty... You are going to come to Chenyun Mountain to see it. Many days have passed. Our masters and disciples can't stay here all the time, so we should go back to Duji Mountain."

After a while, Su Emei whispered: "Master, go back, I'll stay here."

Chu Nanhuai frowned and said, "What can you do when you stay here? It's so desolate here, there are few people around it, which is far worse than our Duji Mountain!"

Su E's eyebrows lowered her head, biting her red lips, and her shoulders were tense, "Qingzhou...I won't go back anymore, what's the face I have to go back? King An...We can't protect King An..."

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and even though her shoulders were suppressed, they couldn't help but start to tremble.

Chu Nanhuai sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? The change that day was too hasty, and we don't have time to deal with it... Do you really have to stay here alone?"

Su Emei's eyes turned to the distance again, recovered for a moment, and murmured: "This is where he became successful. If there is still a miracle, it will definitely be here."

"Miracle?" Chu Nanhuai smiled bitterly, "How could there be any miracle..."

Su Emei said nothing.

"Who said there is no miracle? I have one here. Do you want to listen?" Suddenly, a mature and charming voice sounded.

Chu Nanhuai and Su Emei turned their heads in the same voice, and saw that Song Jiao had already flew over the treetops, her cloak was like wings.

"You two can really run away. You are actually hiding here, and I have been looking for you for a long time." When I arrived on the roof, Song Jiao teased first, and then looked at Su Emei with deep meaning, "If that brat knew that you were so affectionate, he might put you in the room, and you would become a princess."

"Aunt Song... Why did you say this?" Su Emei was a little dazed, as if she had already had a premonition, but she was afraid that it was not true. She would burst like a bubble when touched.

Chu Nanhuai also looked surprised.
