Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 305 Variable Emergence
"Di Gong, why don't you ask Gu if the matter is settled?"

Ever since he came out of Yan's Mansion, Di Renjie kept his mouth shut. He neither asked Li Xian about the result of his negotiations with Yan Liben nor asked for instructions on what to do next. He just sat beside Li Xian silently, his expression calm. Extremely, like a wooden man, in the end, Li Xian was the first to lose his temper, looked at Di Renjie curiously, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Your Highness is going to put Di on the fire."

Di Renjie didn't answer Li Xian's question, but shook his head with a bitter face, and came up with a seemingly irrelevant answer.

"Oh? Hahaha..."

Li Xian was delighted when he heard it, because when Di Renjie said this, it meant that Di Renjie had fully understood the purpose of Li Xian taking him to the Hell Mansion. The people in the court announced that Di Renjie was the most confidant around Li Xian. If the big guys want to show their loyalty or loyalty, they might as well go to Di Renjie to make a deal. In this way, with Di Renjie as a buffer, the courtiers You don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing in front of Li Xian, or worrying about being on the wrong team. You can check out Di Renjie first, and then make the final decision. As for Li Xian himself, you can also feel relaxed. It saves countless troubles of hypocrisy and slander, but Di Renjie will be busy, right?

"It's hard work for Mr. Di, you can do things, you can trust me alone."

Although he knew that Di Renjie's complaints were just for fun, Li Xian would never be stingy about what should be appeased. He must not let the horse run or let the horse eat grass.

"Your Highness is wise, Di Mou is working hard."

Di Renjie is a wise man in the world. As early as when Li Xian invited him to go to the Mansion of Hell, he had already seen through Li Xian's intentions. Since he didn't say anything to refuse, he was naturally mentally prepared to take on this important task. , but he did not forget to call out bitterness in his mouth, and the left and right were just for fun.

"Hahaha……"

Li Xian was amused by Di Renjie's intentionally pretended distress, and laughed out loud again, laughing so hard that Di Renjie couldn't hold back his face, and then the laughter started, a sense of acquaintance between the monarch and his ministers rippling in the carriage, Pervasive... On the eighteenth day of the second month of the third year of Xianheng, at three o'clock, it was almost noon, but the sky was as gloomy as dusk, thick dark clouds pressed down extremely low, and the drizzle never stopped, although it was not heavy , but when it drenched on the body, it was sticky and uncomfortably sticky, especially for those who were on the road, this kind of drizzle was really annoying, not to mention blocking the line of sight, the road was also muddy and difficult to walk, No, a large group of cavalry surrounded by several carriages galloped on the ancient road, and there were curses from time to time. Even the sound of rumbling horseshoes could not cover up the complaints that came and went one after another.

"Third son, pass the order, Luoyang is ahead, tell these bastards to restrain themselves, and stop causing trouble for me. If anyone continues to talk nonsense, military law will be dealt with!"

Perhaps the complaints coming from behind were too complicated, a handsome young man in silver soft armor and a purple cloak running at the front of the queue couldn't stand it anymore, with a livid face, he looked back at the tight A young general in white robe who was following behind snorted impatiently.

The white-robed young general's surname is Li, with a single character of Wen, which is the third character of Li Zhen, the king of Yue. As for the person who spoke earlier, it was his elder brother Li Chong, the king of Langya. The group of people who are here are here to attend the funeral for "honoring the emperor"— ——The king of Yue, Li Zhennai, is the elder brother of today's son. He has both civil and military skills. He is also known as the "Shuangwang of Yueji" with Li Shen, the king of Ji. , quite brave, the second son Li Qian and the youngest son Li Gui both study literature, have political strategy, and have good literary talents. They are rare among the masters. The four sons went to the funeral, because they were late in obtaining the edict, fearing that they might miss the funeral, they had to travel day and night, running wildly all the way, without knowing how hard it was.

"Okay, big brother has the final say."

Li Chong is Li Zhen's only son, and also the eldest son. He has been conferred the title of Langya King since he was born. He has a high prestige among his brothers, and he is a man of uncompromising character. Once he opened his mouth, Li Wen dared not neglect , loudly agreed, slowed down the speed of the horse, rushed to the side of the road, and shouted loudly at the accompanying cavalry, all the cavalry who had been nagging immediately stopped obediently Mouth, no one dares to make a loud noise.

"Brother, these grandchildren just need to be beaten. Hey, the orders of the elder brother still work. The younger brother only needs to shout, and they are all honest."

Li Wen's admiration for Li Chong was obviously deep in his bones. After suppressing everyone's complaints, he immediately rushed back to Li Chong's side, and gave him a high hat with a smile.

"Ah."

Li Chong has long been used to the admiration of his brothers, and he was not moved by Li Wen's words. He just let out a nonchalant sigh, and his eyes were always looking in the direction of Luoyang City, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes. .

"Brother, is he still thinking about competing with the King of England? Hehe, after entering Luoyang City this time, Big Brother will definitely get what he wants, and Younger Brother is optimistic that Big Brother will definitely win."

Li Wen only took one look at Li Chong, and knew what he was thinking, so he immediately flattered him with a smile.

"Hey, speed up!"

As soon as Li Chongying heard the word "King of England", Li Chongying's upright face twitched immediately. He gave Li Wen a dissatisfied look, scolded him, and raised his hand. The painful war horse neighed, spread its four hooves, and rushed towards Luoyang City along the ancient road... "My Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yue and his four sons have arrived outside the palace gate. Your Majesty please let me know."

In the main bedroom of Qianyuan Hall, Gaozong embraced a thick brocade quilt, leaning on a high cushion with a lonely expression, staring blankly at the dark sky outside the window, motionless like a clay sculpture It is like wood plastic, but after only a few days of work, there are a lot of white strands in the original black hair, and the pale face is full of sadness and sadness. When Gao Hesheng in the dormitory saw it, his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried to the side of the couch and reported in a low voice.

"Brother, it's mynah who's here, here, finally here." Hearing the sound, Gao Zong looked away from the window, glanced at Gao Hesheng, muttered a few words in his mouth, and immediately lifted his spirits , Huo Ran sat up straight, waved his hand, and shouted anxiously: "Quick, quick, invite me to come in, why are you still standing there, why don't you go!"

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

Hearing what Gao Zong said, Gao Hesheng was taken aback immediately, but he didn't dare to ask any questions, so he could only respectfully agree, but before he left, he looked at Gao Zong suspiciously for a few times—— Since Li Hong's funeral was organized according to the etiquette of the Daxing Emperor, the royal clans from all over the country naturally had to come to the funeral. These days, clan princes have arrived in Luoyang City one after another, and many of them are dignified. There are princes of the older generation, such as Han Wang Li Yuanjia, Lu Wang Li Lingkui, and Huo Wang Li Yuangui, as well as Gaozong's peers, Ji Wang Li Shen, Zhao Wang Li Fu, etc., but I have never seen Gaozong so excited, let alone summoned, it is an order None of them, and Empress Wu was generally asked to deal with it. When King Yue arrived this time, Gaozong's reaction was so abnormal. Freedom and suspicion were not high, but in front of Gaozong, Gao and However, Sheng did not dare to ask random questions, but after leaving the palace, Gao Hesheng immediately ordered a young eunuch who was accompanying him to report to Empress Wu in a low voice, while he himself went to Zetianmen unhurriedly. Go, so as to leave enough buffer time for Empress Wu.

The funeral of Emperor Daxing has never been a simple matter, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of things. Even if Li Hong is only a posthumous emperor, the procedures that need to be done are not spared at all. With the assistance of the ministers, Empress Wu, who is the actual master of the palace, is still very busy. For a while, she is receiving the royal family members who came to her, for a while, she is listening to the report of the funeral officials, and for a while, she has to be busy accepting the funeral. In addition to the court meeting of the governors who rushed to Luoyang from all over the country, there are countless memorials to be reviewed. Rao Empress Wu is extremely energetic, and she has become thinner after turning around like this, but Empress Wu But he didn't think it was bitter, his spirit was flickering, and he didn't see the slightest sign of fatigue. No, it was almost noon, and Empress Wu, who had just received foreign ministers, immediately buried her head in the pile of memorials, reviewing with a quick pen and never being able to approve After finishing the scriptures, his expression was so focused that even the sound of a little eunuch rushing into the imperial study could not make Empress Wu look up.

"Ok?"

Although Wu Hou didn't raise his head, and didn't stop the pen in his hand, but he hummed displeasure from his nostrils, and just one sound made the flustered little eunuch's legs go limp, and he fell down on the ground. Lie on the ground, trembling unceasingly, he stammered the report: "Qi, Qi, Madam, His Royal Highness Yue, Yue Wang has arrived, and he has arrived outside the palace gate..."

"Then announce it."

Empress Wu still didn't raise her head. Over the past few days, Empress Wu has long been used to receiving these princes who came to attend funerals. She didn't think that the King of Yue could be anything special, and she didn't wait for the little eunuch to finish speaking, so she stopped An order was issued.

"I, my lord, your majesty, ah, your majesty has announced."

Hearing what Empress Wu said, the little eunuch panicked even more, his lips trembled for a while, and then he choked out a word without beginning or end.

"Ok?"

When Empress Wu heard this, the pen she was writing at high speed stopped suddenly, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at the trembling little eunuch with sharp eyes like knives, a huge murderous aura suddenly emerged .
