Chapter 497: Bring the message to His Majesty and don’t change a word
The spring day is melting and the warm breeze is blowing.
The spring breeze blows across the earth, and the heaven and earth are filled with the breath of spring.
It's the day of spring plowing again, and the people outside Chang'an City are busy cultivating the fields and sowing the seeds of hope.
In the martial arts arena of the East Palace, Li Yunze, who was wearing armor and holding a Mo Dao, waved the Mo Dao vigorously, forcing Li Siye on the opposite side to retreat continuously.
Many of the East Palace guards who were watching around cheered loudly and cheered for the two.
Li Yunze, who was wearing heavy Mingguang armor, made the Mo Dao in his hand merge into one piece of light. Li Siye, a real master who was forced to use the Mo Dao, gradually became unable to block it.
As Li Yunze shouted angrily, he struck down with a powerful and heavy sword, directly cutting off the Mo Dao in Li Siye's hand.
The sharp blade immediately stopped in front of Li Siye's faceplate.
Li Yunze put away his sword and stood up. Li Siye pushed away his visor and sighed, and saluted with sincerity, "The prince is mighty~~~"
The people watching all around shouted, "The prince is mighty~~~"
This is not flattery based on status considerations. Most of these frontier soldiers have competed with Li Yunze. This is a true affirmation and admiration for his strength.
Li Yunze knows these border troops very well, because in other worlds, he has led them to fight many times.
He knows that simple bribery may not necessarily win people's hearts.
While bribery, let the frontier soldiers who advocate force admire you from the bottom of their hearts, and the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, Li Yunze would spend some time almost every day to compete with the border troops on the martial arts field.
With the combination of his martial arts experience and physical fitness, even Li Siye is no match.
Coupled with his heartfelt support and constant offerings of food and wine every day, it was natural for him to gain the allegiance of the border troops.
This is not over yet, Li Yunze has already arranged for Gao Jinzhong and others to prepare a big show for the border troops to strengthen their belief in him.
After taking off his armor and preparing to practice archery with the border troops, Gao Jinzhong came to report that someone from the palace came to see the prince.
A little confused, he came to a side hall, where he met Niu Guier beside Concubine Wu Hui.
Taking the towel and wiping the sweat from his face, Li Yunze asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Niu Guier, who was slightly embarrassed, looked at Gao Jinzhong next to Li Yunze.
"We are all our own people." Li Yunze smiled, "In your heart, you are all your own people who can be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Niu Guier and Gao Jinzhong, who looked grateful, saluted together.
No matter what you think in your heart, the expression on your face is absolutely spot on.
"Your Highness."
Niu Guier lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty asked the young one to bring a message to His Highness."
"explain."
"The empress said, don't let the Crown Princess enter the palace."
Hearing this, Li Yunze narrowed his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he asked leisurely, "Concubine Hui, have you been suppressed in the palace recently?"
Speaking of this, Niu Guier became very angry, "Your Majesty has not seen the empress for a long time, and he even sent someone to reprimand her, saying that the empress did not teach her son well. That old dog Gao Lishi found a charming woman from Fujian, named
The one who called Jiang Caiping was presented to His Majesty and was favored, so he was directly canonized as Concubine Mei."
"Jiang Caiping." Li Yunze smiled slightly, "This is not a glamorous woman."
Jiang Caiping, who came from Fujian, was favored, which made the situation in the palace increasingly chaotic.
Concubine Wu Hui, who used to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the palace, now felt the cold wind blowing through her palace.
"Go back and tell your Majesty."
Li Yunze pondered for a moment and told Niu Guier, "Quiet the flags and drums, cultivate your moral character. Watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, watch his building collapse. It's going to be daybreak, just be patient for a little longer."
After finding a replacement, Li Sanlang changed hands and began to retaliate against Concubine Wu Hui.
This was not the end, Li Sanlang also started to take action in the court.
First, Li Linfu was reprimanded one after another for his government affairs, and a group of ministers who were dependent on Li Linfu were hit and demoted one after another.
Li Linfu was so smart that he immediately understood what Li Sanlang meant.
After careful consideration, he took the initiative to go to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, and had a long and secret conversation in private.
Immediately afterwards, Li Sanlang let Li Linfu go and attacked Niu Xianke hard.
Niu Xianke, who had always been submissive and led everything with Li Linfu since he became prime minister, personally took care of such a thing as the law.
But just because of such an incident, rumors of offending the emperor and being punished, and even denigrating the local area, have spread.
It doesn't take much thinking to know that Li Linfu, who was beaten, chose to seek refuge with the emperor, and instead threw Niu Xianke out as the scapegoat.
After the palace and the court took action one after another, Li Sanlang, who fully demonstrated his muscles and authority, began to beat the emperor's relatives.
The first to be unlucky were Princess Xianyi and his wife.
The prince-in-law, Captain Yang Hui, was scolded and fined for an excuse, and even his nominal part-time job was deprived of him.
Princess Xianyi was also reprimanded and then driven out of Chang'an City and asked them to return to Luoyang to live.
When the stick fell, all the emperors and relatives were frightened, and no one dared to approach the prince again.
The proud Li Sanlang felt that he was completely in control of the situation, and that the rebellious prince could no longer escape from his grasp.
On the surface, it seemed that everyone in the palace, court, and even the royal family had clearly drawn a clear line between themselves and the prince, as if they had isolated him and made him a real loner.
But Li Sanlang's eyes were too high, and he refused to take another look below. He refused to pay attention to the people, and he didn't even think much about it.
However, somewhere he couldn't see, the entire city of Chang'an was gradually ignited and boiling. Countless people rushed to tell each other and gathered together to discuss the emperor and the prince.
In Li Sanlang's view, these common people are useless and do not need to be paid too much attention to.
But under the guidance and promotion, this anger from the people has already risen and is on the verge of exploding.
Faced with this series of combined punches, Li Ying and others could not help but tremble and panic.
But Li Yunze seemed to be a normal person here. In the spring, he was either condoling with the people in the city or taking a group of celebrities out for an outing.
It seemed as if Li Sanlang's blows were all hitting others.
Li Sanlang, who was a little confused about this, felt that it was time for a showdown with the prince.
When Gao Lishi came to the East Palace, he felt very complicated.
In addition to the shamelessness of the task assigned to him by the emperor, he also felt that the prince was not an ordinary person, at least much stronger than the previous deposed prince Li Ying.
It is impossible for such a character to have no means of counterattack.
The East Palace seems calm now, but one can detect the turmoil hidden under the calm surface.
Entering the East Palace, the palace maids, chamberlains, and guards all looked at him with extremely strange looks.
Especially the armored soldiers, all of them had cold eyes, looking at him as if they were looking at a dead person.
Gao Lishi, who remained calm, was taken to Li Yunze's study.
The waiter brought the tea and after exiting the room and closing the door, Gao Lishi sighed softly.
"Why is this so?"
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Why did Gao Gong come here? Tell me as much as you want."
Gao Lishi looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing his behavior, Li Yunze smiled and said, "Just talk about things, why bother?"
Gao Lishi took a breath and said, "It will be May 5th in a while. Your Majesty ordered all the royal relatives in Chang'an City to enter the palace to attend the banquet."
The so-called May 5th Festival is actually the Dragon Boat Festival.
Historically, it was not until the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty that the May 5th Festival was officially replaced by the Dragon Boat Festival, and it lasted until thousands of years later.
In Datang, this is also a legal holiday.
Not only did the emperor hold a grand banquet to celebrate, but he also gave everyone rewards and so on.
Li Yunze listened quietly, and his cold eyes made Gao Lishi tilt his head involuntarily.
"Your Majesty asked the old minister to give you a message." At this point, Gao Lishi lowered his head with a guilty conscience. "On May 5th, the prince must bring the prince to the palace to attend. After the banquet, the prince can rest in the palace."
Even Gao Lishi felt very guilty when he mentioned this kind of thing, and his voice became lower and lower.
"Gao Gong."
Li Yunze's voice was slightly cold, "After you finished speaking, why did you become silent while talking?"
Gao Lishi looked at Li Yunze in surprise. He didn't believe that Li Yunze didn't know what he meant.
But the prince in front of him was so calm, this and this.
Swallowing hard, Gao Lishi continued, "Your Majesty said that if the prince is sensible, he can continue to be the prince in the future, and he will also choose a new crown prince for the prince who is virtuous, virtuous, and well-mannered. If the prince is ignorant,
"
"If you don't know what's going on, you'll have to depose the prince, right?"
Li Yunze smiled casually, but his eyes became as sharp as a knife.
"Gao Gong?"
"The old minister is here."
"You also have a message for Your Majesty."
Gao Lishi hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I would like to listen to His Highness's instructions."
"Go back and tell His Majesty that you are an old man and don't want a Bilian!"
As soon as this statement came out, Gao Lishi immediately made a fool of himself.
Li Yunze simply stood up and walked towards the door, "Take the message to Your Majesty and don't change a word."
Gao Lishi, who felt his legs were shaking, shouted "Your Highness!" before Li Yunze opened the door.
Li Yunze turned around in confusion, "Huh?"
"Your Highness."
Gao Lishi persuaded him earnestly, "Don't take risks, Your Majesty, he, he"
"You've been prepared for it, right?"
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "You're good, at least you can remind me. I'll remember this."
After that, without waiting for Gao Lishi to say anything else, he simply opened the door and walked out.
Li Sanlang himself was involved in a mutiny and came to power. He led his troops into the palace from Xuanwu Gate and slaughtered all the Wei family, and also killed Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping.
His father Li Dan was so frightened that he immediately passed the throne to him.
How could such an emperor who came to power by mutiny not pay attention to whether the prince would mutiny?
After all, things like mutiny have almost become a traditional repertoire in the Tang Dynasty.
Just as Gao Lishi reminded him, Li Sanlang had long been prepared to deal with the possible mutiny in the East Palace.
Li Yunze came to the courtyard and stood with his hands behind his back, slightly raising his head and looking at the blue sky.
"You're prepared, right? What a coincidence, so am I!"
