Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Four hundred and sixty, make peace

After leaving the East Palace, Li Shen saw several eunuchs of His Royal Highness, one after another loading things into a carriage, and there were two small and exquisite eunuchs beside them. From a glance, the two little eunuchs are female eunuchs.

Moreover, the two were just standing next to another carriage and did not work with the others. Li Xu couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of the two.

"Don’t look. Those two were sent by Silla and Goguryeo when they came back from Goguryeo. After seeing Uncle Ji, I went directly back to Chang'an, so some things have to be taken back. Let’s go first. Let them wait at the gate of the mansion for a while." Li Hong patted Li Xu's shoulder lightly, and the two of them continued to walk out side by side.

After Li Xu heard Li Hong’s simple explanation, he didn’t ask who it was given to. Seeing that there were two court ladies beside the two of them, they helped them to collect salutes and other things from time to time. People's status in the East Palace is still more respected.

Li Xu is of medium height, because he has been working with King Ji to take care of the granary all the year round. His complexion is slightly dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face. His medium figure looks very strong and strong.

After asking Li Hong to get on the carriage of Prince Ji’s Mansion, Li Xu originally planned to sit on the shaft with the coachman, but unexpectedly just sat down on the shaft, he was pulled into the carriage by Li Hongzhang: "You are too polite like this, you are all a family, don't be so distracted, come in and sit together."

"Then I should respect my life." Li Xu was embarrassed and passively supported the top of his head, bent over and got into the carriage with Li Hong.

This carriage is not his own carriage, but the carriage of his father Wang Ji Wang Li Shen. Today, he came to invite Prince Li Hong, and Wang Ji sent his carriage to greet him to show himself and even The respect and courtesy of His Royal Highness Prince Ji throughout the whole palace.

The horseshoes inlaid with horseshoes walked on the main road paved with bluestone slabs in Luoyang City. The hooves sounded leisurely. Since the royal guard of honor was not activated, along the way, there were carriages with the symbol of Ji Wangfu. Although the traffic is unimpeded on the road, the speed is still relatively slow.

As lively noises such as shouts and clamors outside the window were left behind, the carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of Prince Ji's Mansion after a short while, and at this time, the entrance was already standing. Many people, headed by Ji Wang Li Shen, waited for the Prince to get off the bus.

Ji Wang Li Shen is good at writing, and he has quite high attainments in literature, history and astrology. Among all royal families, Ji Wang Li Shen and Yue Wang Li Zhen both enjoy high reputation and sage names among the people.

On the contrary, the king of Yue Li Zhen was not as good at writing as Li Shen, but was fond of martial arts and good at riding and shooting, so the two princes of Wen Yiwu were called "Ji, Yue". In order to show people's respect for both of them.

The elegant, wise and personable is not too much to use on Ji Wang Lishen. He is equally medium in height, but well maintained. Unlike Li Zhi, who has a big belly, the vermilion round-neck gown fits well.

A pair of eyes are bright and indifferent, and the whole person looks gentle and gentle. There is no beard on the chin, but it is shaved cleanly, which makes people seem involuntarily close.

"The minister Li Shen welcomes His Royal Highness." Li Shen walked slowly down the steps, and after Li Hong got off the station, he immediately led the others in the mansion to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, Uncle Wang, my nephew Li Hong has seen Uncle Wang." Li Hong slowly returned the gift and said with a nice smile.

"Today, it's true that it's a matter of fact. It should be the minister who went to the East Palace in person..."

"It’s not good for you to be so polite. Brother Wang personally went to the East Palace to invite Li Hong. This is already making my nephew nervous. You are still greeted at the door. If your father knows, he will definitely reprimand him. My nephew doesn't know the etiquette." Li Hong couldn't stand the pedantic spirit of King Ji.

When I was with others, Ji Wang Li Shen was open-minded, open-minded and witty, but with myself, he always put the way of courtiers first. This is why although Li Hong admires Li Shen in his heart, he is not willing to do more It's too restrictive because of the relationship.

"Okay, please, your Highness." Li Shen smiled sideways and needed to be quoted. It's not like standing at the door.

"Uncle Wang, please." Li Hong suddenly found out that his etiquette was not very bad. Who should compare it with?

The land occupied by Prince Ji’s mansion in Luoyang is naturally huge. After walking for a while, Wang Ji welcomed Li Hong into the main hall and sat down.

Regardless of whether Li Hong's seniority is a generation younger than that of Ji Wang Li Shen, at this moment, even if his Royal Highness is a relative in Yuanri, he still has to sit in the main seat, and Li Shen naturally can only sit next to him.

Li Xu and a few people were able to find a seat at this time. It was because His Royal Highness was innocent, so the few people sat down on both sides of the lower head.

After a simple greeting, Li Shen was shocked when he learned that Li Hong planned to return to Chang'an today. The prince didn’t see the court banquet yesterday, but today he will rush to Chang'an, right? What's the matter?

"It’s nothing. My nephew went out for several months. At that time, he was called to Liaodong urgently by his father. In a hurry, there were still a lot of things on his hand that didn’t have time to deal with. After he came back, today After playing with the father and the queen, he planned to return to Chang'an. By the way, I heard from Brother Wang that you have something to look for with your nephew? But what makes you embarrassed?" Li Hong picked up the teacup and fiddled with the tea. , And then put the teacup down again.

If he didn't touch the tea first, everyone sitting in the main hall, including King Ji, would not be able to touch the tea before him.

And Li Xu rushed all the way, and he didn't have time to drink in the East Palace. At this time, his mouth was dry.

After watching Li Hong pick up, put it down, and then smile at him, Li Xu understood Li Hong's intentions, and smiled at Li Hong who was grateful, and then he took the tea after a pause.

Li Shen saw everything in front of him. He couldn't imagine that under the prestige that His Royal Highness Jai Xuan must report, there were such details for the sake of others. At the moment, he felt a little bit about what he wanted to say. grasp.

Li Shen thought for a while, then looked at Li Hong and said: "A few days ago, Tubo came to ask Datang for marriage, but this time the request for marriage was not because the Tubo envoys begged for marriage to the court and his majesty. Princess Wencheng came to me to ask for a kiss directly, hoping to marry Li Chuyuan to Tubo Zanpu."

"Is there such a thing? Uncle Wang knows that this is the meaning of Tubo or Princess Wencheng?" Li Hong was shocked. Originally in history, Tubo begged for marriage again, several years later, at that time. The object was Li Lingyue, the little thing in the palace today.

The queen father and mother were unwilling to marry the most beloved princess Li Lingyue to Tubo, but it was difficult to directly refuse Tubo’s request for peace, so they built a peaceful temple, and declined on the grounds that Li Lingyue had officially become a monk. Tubo's request for peace, so Taiping became Li Lingyue's dao name.

And the title of the princess, at this time, has been sealed to the extreme by Li Zhi: Princess Zhenguo Taiping.

"This...." Ji Wang Li Shen glanced at Li Hong with some embarrassment, and then at Li Xu and others present.

"Listen to Uncle Wang's arrangement." Li Hong said understandingly.

"If that's the case, please, your Highness might as well have a look at the courthouse garden?" King Ji nodded and said gratefully.

"Uncle Wang, please." Li Hong got up and saw that Li Xu and the others looked as usual, and they were not dissatisfied because of Wang Ji's taboo.

Li Shen nodded at Li Hong again, and the two of them came out of the main hall and walked to the garden behind the mansion.

Facing Li Xu and the others here, it’s not that Li Shen deliberately needs to hide something from his son and his confidant, let alone distrust them, but that the matter is not trivial and involves too much coverage, if not Proceed with caution, I am afraid the consequences will be worrying.

Furthermore, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. As Li Hong is the key, he has to give up his request to his Majesty, and instead hope that Li Hong can help him solve the problem at hand.

At this time, early winter has entered. In the entire Luoyang city, except for a few small gardens built with glass in the Luoyang Palace, there are still red flowers and green leaves. Other places, including the palace gardens, are all bleak and hard to find. Some bright colors, even green, are rare in the garden.

The shadowy retainers walked back and forth in remote places. After a while, Li Hong and Li Shen remained in the back garden of the palace.

"Hong'er~IndoMTL.com~ This is a big matter. Uncle Wang is really embarrassed. Princess Wencheng has a tough attitude. There is a strong tendency not to marry Li Chuyuan. I am Li Chuyuan’s father and king. I don’t want to marry her into Tubo. What's more... Pei Xingjian has always had a good relationship with me. You know the relationship between us. I once wrote to him and asked him. He said that Tubo did not have such a plan and said it was impossible. Even if the Tubo is interested, they will not agree." Li Shen and Li Hong walked side by side on the warm stone path in the garden, whispering.

"Naturally, it is impossible for me to agree. Tubo will continue to use this trick to fix things with my Datang, hoping to take this opportunity to obtain some advanced technology of my Datang again, but they have forgotten that now Tubo is my large In the Tang area, why did you talk to your relatives? Even if Pei Xingjian and others did not settle in Tubo, now my Datang is strong, Tubo is weak, and I think that my Datang will seek perfection, and the peace of the border in exchange for peace is simply nonsense. "Li Hong slowly lowered his head, and said for Li Shen.

"I'm relieved with these words from your Majesty, but in the current situation, I can't tell your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been insensitive to this kind of thing. I'm afraid that if I speak, he will agree. So I thought After thinking about it, I decided to ask you to come over to discuss this matter. Since this matter is not determined by the Tubo national policy, then Princess Wencheng and others are the ones who made this reconciliation." Li Shen watched Li Hong stand still. After stopping, I thought about it and continued: "So after Pei Xingjian gave me a clear reply, I secretly investigated it. This act of reconciliation may have been made by Pei Wang and Li Xian for Wencheng."
