Look at what happened. Li Zhen originally planned to watch the excitement and make a guest appearance as the director of the "Puppet Show", but she didn't expect that this guy was dragged by the old man to work as a coolie, and he still played the most thankless villain role.
, it doesn’t matter that the role is heavy, but it is also annoying. This makes Li Zhen very angry. Even though Li Zhen is calm by nature, she can’t help but turn pale when she gets such a bullshit job, but in front of the important ministers
There was nothing else I could do. I was so sick that I didn't even bother to report to the Ministry of War. I turned around and left the palace, got on the big sedan chair, and ran to my palace.
Go has always been a favorite among scholar-bureaucrats. Confucian children can always play it. Playing a few games in their free time is also one of the great pleasures of life. No, when Li Zhen walked into the study with a livid face, he asked
Long and Mo Li were busy fighting and didn't even see Li Zhen arrive.
"Two gentlemen, I have won a great fortune." Li Zhen waited for a long time, but saw that there was still no movement from the two of them, so she had to say angrily.
"Oh? The prince has come back, has he gained a lot of benefits?" Nalong raised his head from the chessboard, smiled jokingly and said: "But he went to investigate the case according to the order?"
Oops, damn, even though I didn’t guess right, it’s not far off. It’s really not true! Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said: “I was ordered to go to Qizhou to announce Laoliu’s entry into the capital. I really don’t know what to say. God knows what my father knows.
What do you want to do?"
"Oh? With such a good thing coming to your door, why should the prince be worried about it?" Li Li laughed and said without taking it seriously.
A good thing? What kind of good thing is this? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't think of anything good about it. She had no choice but to shrug her shoulders and said, "How can I say this?"
"Haha, it seems that the prince is so excited about becoming an official that he has completely forgotten the purpose of asking you to come out?" Nalong clapped his hands and laughed.
"Huh?" Li Zhen frowned, and immediately remembered that when the old man asked her to become an official in the court, the two advisers agreed that the old man wanted to disrupt the situation by himself, and then thought of the old man's morning meeting this morning.
That neither yin nor yang look made Li Zhen's heart suddenly feel cold - the old man was preparing to take action!
"Two gentlemen, it seems that my father can't bear it anymore." Li Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "I am in the limelight now, what should I do?"
"Wait!" Mo Liyan said one word concisely and concisely.
"Wait?" Li Zhen lowered her head silently and thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems that we can only wait any longer. I don't know what the outcome will be."
"Haha, I don't know anything else, but the prince's brothers will definitely come. It's a good opportunity to knock the bamboo pole. Don't miss it, prince." Nalong said with a smile, his face full of pride.
Yes, damn, there is no shop after this village! Li Zhen sneered. Before she could say anything, she saw the butler Liu Dequan hurriedly walked over: "Your Highness, the imperial edict has arrived. Please come out to greet us as soon as possible."
Imperial edict? Damn it, the old man was really pressing. How long did it take? It took more than half an hour to draft the edict and send it to the provincial government for approval? Haha, I really can’t wait! Li Zhen’s heart
I felt a chill, and I vehemently despised the old man's methods, but I didn't have the guts not to accept the order. I glanced at the two great counselors who remained calm, then waved my hands in dismay and said: "Open the middle door wide.
I will go to receive the order immediately." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room to change clothes and freshen up.
The person who came to deliver the order was still his old acquaintance Gao Yao. As soon as he saw Li Zhen coming out of the wide open main gate of the palace, he hurriedly took a few steps forward to meet him, and with a smile he cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is very happy. I am so happy today."
But here comes the reward money."
Great joy? Damn it, where did this great joy come from? Li Zhen felt very sick in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more in front of the old eunuch. She said very politely: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao."
Gao Yao smiled and nodded, with a solemn look on his face, and slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand. After Li Zhen knelt down, he cleared his throat and preached melodiously: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has an edict:
The sage said: Yang is the sky and Yin is the earth, so the Yin alone does not grow..."
What? It turned out to be a marriage decree. Damn it, what did the old man do? It was only after the announcement of the outrageous-looking imperial decree that Li Zhen realized what was going on. Although she was happy that she could marry Pei Yan,
But he still couldn't help but keep mumbling in his heart, secretly guessing what the old man's intentions were. This thought made him a little distracted. It wasn't until Gao Yao coughed several times that Li Zhen realized what he was doing and hurriedly kowtowed.
After thanking him, of course, when he received the imperial edict, he did not forget to quietly present the "red envelope" that he had prepared in advance.
Li Zhen's generosity was well-known among the princes. Gao Yao got a good fortune and naturally left with a smile. Li Zhen herself stood outside the gate for a long time holding the holy edict.
Full of thoughts, he turned back to the study, looked at the two counselors who stood up to greet each other, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's not the order to handle the case, it's the marriage edict. Well, my father asked me to send the official of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow morning."
I went with you to make a decision, saying that the eighth day of the fifth lunar month is an auspicious day. What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd?"
"The eighth day of May? Well, it looks like things are about to change." Naron said thoughtfully, with a trace of worry on his face.
Nowadays, what Li Zhen is most impatient with is hearing the word "change". Seeing Nalong say this, she immediately asked: "What do you mean, sir?"
"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with the prince's marriage. It's because King Wu is afraid that there will be a big trouble!" Nalong said with a serious face.
What, what does this have to do with, what happened on the third child’s end has nothing to do with me! When Li Zhen heard that something was going to happen on the King of Wu’s end, she felt relieved, shrugged her shoulders and said, “So what?
?”
"Your Highness, how long does it take to go back and forth from the capital to Qizhou?" Nalong asked with a frown.
Huh? What do you mean? Li Zhen didn't understand why Nalong would ask such a simple question, but she still answered patiently: "If we go back quickly, five days will be enough."
"That's right." Nalong nodded affirmatively and said: "Your Highness clearly knows that this is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. From this time to the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, there are quite a few suitable days for weddings. A rough calculation shows that there are not many days suitable for weddings.
It may take more than ten days, then this problem will arise."
Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the problem. She had no choice but to look at Nalong in confusion and said, "Problem? Why didn't I find any problem?"
Nalong raised his head and glanced at Li Zhen, and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, the Pei family is not a family in the capital. They are far away in Luozhou. According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, if the prince is getting married and the woman is not in the capital, she must be sent to the capital in person. Now
The Pei family is already in the capital, did this imperial edict mention the news of the Pei family returning to Luozhou? If not, doesn't this explain the problem? "
"Huh?" Li Zhen still didn't understand. She was stunned for a while and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Seeing that Li Zhen still didn't see the crux of the problem, Mo Li couldn't stand it anymore and explained with a smile: "Brother Na means that if the prince's trip goes well, he can return to Beijing in only five or seven days. Then Why is it necessary to postpone the wedding to May, and make the Pei family wait patiently at the inn? If the Holy Father had not received some not-so-good news, how could the wedding have been pushed back so late? Doesn't this mean that Wu There is going to be trouble on the other side of the king, and the prince can't successfully invite the king of Shu back?"
"The sixth one is just clueless. If he wants to cause chaos, it's possible." Li Zhen thought for a moment and said, "But with just a few people, he can't cause chaos. But it's hard to say what the fifth one is. If The sixth one is in trouble. If the fifth one takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it may really lead to chaos. Well, I don’t know how my father got the news. Is there any movement on the other side of the Rising Sun?"
"Not yet." Nalong shook his head and said: "The Holy One chose to take action at this time, which is extremely unfavorable to the prince. Well, maybe it can be delayed for a year or two."
Oh, damn, we wanted to take our time and play after we established a foothold, but it’s a pity that the old man didn’t give us this chance! Li Zhen naturally understood what Nalong meant, but now that the matter has come to this, she won’t think more about it. Those impossible things, he said calmly: "That's all, let's not talk about this, let's talk about it, how should I deal with this trip?"
As soon as Li Zhen said this, Mo Li and Mo Li smiled bitterly at each other. This matter has not even started yet. There is no reliable information, and I don't know how many people the old man has given. How should we start talking about this response? However, Since Li Zhen had asked, it would not be a bad idea not to answer, but how to answer really troubled the two of them. Just as they were having a headache, they suddenly saw the butler Liu Dequan coming in a hurry again and standing: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince I sent someone to deliver an invitation to the East Palace for a banquet in the afternoon."
Ha, that idiot, the boss, is really stupid. Damn it, this kid really thought that if he knocked down the third child, he would be able to sit more comfortably. Hey, he didn’t know that he was just digging his own grave. It’s interesting. !Li Zhen laughed at the thought of the prince's self-satisfied look. She curved her lips and waved her hand: "Send the order and prepare the sedan. I will be there in a moment." Liu Dequan hurriedly responded and ran away. After that, I didn’t mention the preparations.
"How?" After Liu Dequan left, Li Zhen couldn't help laughing loudly, and finally asked with a smile.
Li Qiye clapped his hands with a smile and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Nalong then answered with a smile, "It will be as good as Your Majesty thinks." As soon as he finished speaking, the three guests and host burst out laughing in unison. The sound echoed in the spacious study room, sweeping away the oppressive gloom in front of my head... dd
