Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 22 New and Old Hate (2)

There are some people in this world who will never forget once they have seen it once. Obviously, the young man who appeared in the small stone pavilion is exactly such a person, because he is so handsome, so handsome as a monster, But this is not the root cause of Li Xian's loss of spirits. The real reason for Li Xian's sudden change of face is that Li Xian has recognized the root of this enchanting young man—Ming Chongyan. Ming Chongyan of the world!
Ming Chongyan, a native of Yanshi, Luozhou, whose ancestors were plain gentry, was an official in the Southern Dynasties for generations. His father, Ming Ke, was an official in Yuzhou. A man of extraordinary skills, fifteen years old, traveled around the world, and gradually became famous. At the age of 17, he was appointed as the magistrate of Huang'an County. Later, he was favored by Empress Wu and called into the capital. He colluded with Empress Wu and became an adulterer, creating a precedent for filth and chaos.

It was him, it turned out to be him, this damned thief!Li Xian had just had a new worry in the East Palace, but he never expected to meet an old hatred here again. For a while, his energy and blood were unstable, and he felt a little emotionally out of control. He had to take a deep breath, which was barely suppressing his mood It's just that this breath seems to be sucked a little louder, obviously disturbing the old and the young in the stone pavilion, but seeing the old and the young suddenly move at the same time, and then, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, It came so suddenly that Li Xian, who was caught off guard, was dazzled by it, and his mind was dizzy for a while.

"Sir, the younger generation lost."

Before Li Xian could figure out the situation, Ming Chongyan had stood up, bowed respectfully to the old man, and said sincerely.

"Young Master Ming, you are being polite. You are well-learned. With time, you will be able to achieve great success. I will wait and see." The old man stood up, smiled and saluted, and after commenting, he didn't wait for Ming Chongyan to say anything more. Turning around, the person looked at Li Xian who was standing at the gate of the garden, and didn't see how he was making any gestures. He just took one step closer, and only glanced at Li Xian, and a strange look flashed across his eyes immediately.

"Little Wang Li Xian has taken the liberty to come here. I have disturbed you so much. Please forgive Li Taishi." Li Xian felt uncomfortable, but he refused to lose in etiquette, so he bowed his hands very politely.

"Don't dare, dare not, I don't know His Royal Highness King Zhou is coming, and I can't greet you from a distance. I'm so rude, please forgive me." The strangeness in Li Chunfeng's eyes rose and disappeared quickly. Showing himself a salute, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to take it too seriously, he hurriedly took a small half step back, bowed and thanked him humbly.

"Li Taishi is too polite." In the previous life, Li Xian had no contact with Li Chunfeng because of his age, but he had heard a lot about this man's miracles in prophecy, and knew that this old man's ability was extraordinary. Dare to put on the airs of a prince in front of him, besides, Li Xian came here with the intention of being a teacher, so he had to show the demeanor of a virtuous corporal, so he replied very humbly, There was a kind smile on his face.

"Luoyang scholar Ming Chongyan has met His Royal Highness the King of Zhou." Just as Li Xian and Li Chunfeng were answering each other, Ming Chongyan in a white robe also came nearby. He stood up and saluted loudly.

"Master Ming, you don't need to be too polite. Xiao Wang has heard about Mr. Ming's name. When I saw him today, he is really extraordinary. He is a real celebrity!"

In the previous life, Li Xian had old grievances with Ming Chongyan, and it was not as deep as usual - at that time, Ming Chongyan had an adulterous affair with Wu Meiniang, which made all the princes feel ashamed. Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that Ming Chongyan used physiognomy to declare that "Li Xian is not virtuous, but Li Xian is like Emperor Taizong". As a result, Li Xian was not only treated badly by Li Xian, who was the prince at the time, but also jealous by Wu Meiniang. The cronies around him were demoted one after another, and many were killed with excuses. As a result, when Li Xian ascended the throne for the first time, he didn't even have a trusted confidant around him, so Wu Meiniang kneaded him like dough. It seems that these are all public hatred, and there are also personal hatreds - after Ming Chongyan became favored, he often acted as a domineering figure in the court. , Li Xian was forced to lose face in front of the officials and became a laughing stock between the government and the public. There are still many such enmities. Therefore, even though Li Xian knows that none of this has happened yet, he can think about the "past events" ", the hatred still surged up uncontrollably, but now Li Xian is no longer Wuxia Amon, although he hates it in his heart, but there is still an incomparably kind smile on his face, and he politely praised Ming Chongyan said a word.

"Your Highness is absurd, and I really can't bear it." Hearing Li Xian's words, Ming Chongyan couldn't help being slightly taken aback by it. It was only because Ming Chongyan had just started to travel around the world at that time, and the first stop he arrived at was It was Chang'an, and the first expert to visit was Li Chunfeng, who had no reputation at all, so he thought Li Xian was just saying polite words, so he didn't take it to heart. Turning his head, he took a closer look at Li Xian, his complexion suddenly changed slightly, and he let out a soft moan involuntarily.

"Why? Is there something wrong with this king?" Ming Chongyan said lightly, and Li Xian's heart jumped immediately, because he knew his own affairs well, and he was really afraid of showing his secrets in front of an expert. , especially the two people in front of them are well-known for their physiognomy, they are not easy to compare, if they really see something, then the fun will be great, of course, Li Xian himself does not fully believe in physiognomy, but But he didn't dare not to guard against it, so he laughed, and made a joke with a look of interest.

"temple……"

After all, Ming Chongyan is a teenager at heart. When asked by Li Xian, he couldn't hold back immediately. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but before he could speak, Li Chunfeng interrupted with a smile: "Your Highness It's a rare visitor, I don't dare to let His Highness stand in this leaky place for a long time, and how about going into the house with the old man?"

"Very good, Xiao Wang is quite tired from the bumpy journey, so I will arrange it according to Li Taishi." Although Li Xian was a little curious about what Ming Chongyan would say, he was more scruples. Seeing Li Chunfeng at this time If you interrupt with a word, you will be happy to go down the slope.

"Well, Your Highness, please come with me." Li Chunfeng smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for invitation.

"Sir, I still have some mundane duties for the younger generation, so I'm leaving." Ming Chongyan was born into a family and knows the etiquette. Seeing that Li Chunfeng didn't intend to invite him at this time, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed Get down and say goodbye.

"I've been negligent, please ask Ming Gongzi Haihan to make amends someday." Li Chunfeng obviously didn't mean to keep Ming Chongyan, he just smiled politely, regardless of Ming Chongyan's reaction, He beckoned to Yujizi who was standing beside him and said, "Yuji, you send off Mr. Ming on behalf of the old man."

"Yes, I obey." Yu Jizi replied respectfully, took a step forward, waved his hand at Ming Chongyan, and made a gesture of seeing off the guest: "Young Master Ming, please."

Ming Chongyan looked at Li Chunfeng, then at Li Xian, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say much, he just bowed his hands to the two, accompanied by Yu Jizi and left Garden, went alone.

What is this kid doing here, a martial arts competition? What did you say about that burst of light just now?Li Xian stared fixedly at Ming Chongyan's back, his eyes were very complicated, there were both doubts and resentment, and his mind had unconsciously turned to whether to make a ruthless attack when Ming Chongyan had not yet risen. , Simply send his men to destroy it, and it will be a one-and-done one.

"Your Highness, please!"

Just when Li Xian's eyes kept changing, Li Chunfeng suddenly greeted him, and immediately woke Li Xian up from his wild thoughts.

"Ah, good, Li Taishi please."

After being disturbed by Li Chunfeng, Li Xian realized that he had lost his composure. He hastily restrained his mind, and replied with a smile, his words were inevitably a little disordered.

Li Chunfeng didn't say any more, but just gave Li Xian a meaningful look, turned to one side, walked first, led Li Xian to the middle courtyard, turned around a few courtyard doors, and arrived at a quiet room. Yielded Li Xian to the top, then pleaded guilty, and knelt down behind the sheets of Li Xian's bottom.

Frugal, even shabby, there is nothing in the huge room except for two tables, a burning stove and a screen to block the door, not even an incense table, as far as such a decoration is concerned It is far inferior to ordinary people. If Li Xian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Li Xian to believe that this is the meeting place for Li Chunfeng, who has been an official for [-] years. The only thing that can attract Li Xian's attention is the painting on the screen. A picture of Zhou Tian and Bagua——Li Xian has also read Zhouyi, so he is not unfamiliar with gossip, but the picture in front of him is obviously very different from ordinary ones. Compared with ordinary things, the pair of yin and yang fish , the ratio is obviously much larger, and what's even more strange is that the Yin fish is obviously bigger than the Yang fish, which is clearly the appearance of Yin prosperity and Yang decline, which made Li Xian fascinated for a while.

"Your Highness, please use tea." Just as Li Xian was staring at the gossip diagram in a daze, Li Chunfeng had already brewed tea swiftly, put the tea bowl on the table in front of Li Xian, and said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, thank you, Li Taishi, hehe, Xiao Wang was fascinated by watching it for a while, I'm rude, I'm rude." Li Xian woke up from his daze, and seeing that the tea was brewed, he quickly stretched out his hands to hold it, and laughed. Then he replied.

"Does Your Highness also study the Book of Changes?" Li Chunfeng smiled and asked casually.

"Li Taishi was joking, but Xiao Wang has read some, but he doesn't want to understand it. If Li Taishi can give you some advice, Xiao Wang is lucky." Li Xian came here planning to be a teacher. Hearing Li Chunfeng's question, Immediately climbed up the pole.

Li Xian's words are so obvious, Li Chunfeng will not understand, but Li Chunfeng didn't say much on this topic, just flicked his sleeves, smiled calmly and said: "Fate has a definite number, tomorrow The young master's luck is still there, so you can't do it arbitrarily."

Li Chunfeng's tone was very calm, but it fell into Li Xian's ears like a thunderclap. He was startled, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. When the tea bowl he was holding tilted, the tea splashed down everywhere. .
