Chapter 305 Variables Appear
"Di Gong, why don't you ask if the lonely thing has been done?"
Since he came out of Yanfu, Di Renjie has always closed his mouth. He did not ask Li Xian what the result of the negotiation between Li and Yan Liben was, nor did he ask for instructions on how to do the next step. He just sat silently on Li Xian's side, and his face was extremely indifferent. He was like a wooden man. At the end, Li Xian was the first. Unable to calm down, he looked at Di Renjie curiously and asked with a smile.
"Well, Your Highness is going to roast Di on the fire."
Di Renjie did not answer Li Xian's question, but shook his head with a bitter face, and came up with a seemingly unrelated answer.
"Oh? Hahaha..."
Li Xian was very happy as soon as he heard this. Just because of Di Renjie's words, it means that Di Renjie has completely understood the purpose of Li Xian taking him to Yanfu. To put it bluntly, it is also very simple. This move is to announce to the people in the court that Di Renjie is the most confidant around Li Xian. Everyone should be loyal or loyal. You might as well go and negotiate with Di Renjie. In this way, with the buffer of Di Renjie, the courtiers don't have to worry about saying wrong things in front of Li Xian, or worrying about standing in the wrong team. They can first explore the wind from Di Renjie's side, and then make the final determination. As for Li Xian himself, he can also be happy and relaxed. It's troublesome to count the troubles, but Di Renjie is busy, isn't he?
"Di Gong can work hard. You can do things alone."
Although he knows that Di Renjie's complaint is just funny, it should be appeased. Li Xian will never be stingy. He can't let the horse run or eat grass, so he praised Di Renjie with a smile.
"Your Highness is wise, Mr. Di is working hard."
Di Renjie is the wise man of the world. As early as when Li Xian invited him to Yanfu, he had seen through Li Xian's intentions. Since he did not say anything, he was naturally ready to take on this important task, but he did not forget to shout bitterly. It was just funny.
"Hahaha..."
Li Xian was teased by Di Renjie's deliberately pretended sadness and laughed loudly again. Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, followed by the smile, and a sense of mutual encounter between princes and ministers rippled and permeated in the carriage...
On the 18th of February of the third year of Xianheng, it was almost noon, but the sky was as cloudy as dusk. The thick dark clouds pressed extremely low, and the drizzle never stopped. Although it was not big, it was drenched on the body, but it was sticky and uncomfortable, especially for those who were on the road, this drizzle was really annoying. Not to mention blocking the sight, the road is also very difficult because of the mud. Well, a large team of cavalry galloping on the ancient road with several carriages, and there are curses from time to time. Even if it is the rumble of horses' hoofs, it can't hide the complaints of ups and downs.
"Lao San, if you pass the order, there will be Luoyang in front of you. Tell these bastards to restrain them and make less trouble for me. Who will talk nonsense again and engage in military law!"
Perhaps the complaints from behind him were too mixed. A young man in silver soft armor and a purple cloak at the front of the queue couldn't hear it. With a blue face, he looked back at a young general in a white robe behind him and snorted impatiently.
The white-paved young general's surname is Li, and a single word of Wen is the third word of Li Zhen, the King of Yue. As for the previous speech, it was his eldest brother Li Chong, the King of Langya. The group came here to mourn for "filial piety to the emperor" - Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is the brother of today's son, with both literature and martial arts, and King Ji. Li Shen is also known as the "Shuangwang of Yue Ji". He is the most virtuous and capable person in his clan. He is currently the assassin of Xiangzhou. He has four sons. His eldest son and three sons all practice martial arts, which is quite brave. His second son Li Qian and his youngest son Li Gui are all learning literature. He has political strategy and literary talent is quite good. He is a rare Junyan among the masters. This rush to Luoyang this time, he received an urgent edict from Gaozong. He went to the funeral with his four sons. Because he was late to get the imperial edict, he was afraid of missing the funeral, so he had to travel day and night. He ran all the way. I didn't know how hard it was.
"Okay, big brother has the final say."
Li Chong is Li Zhen's only legitimate son and the eldest son. He has been named the King of Langya since he was born. He is a very prestigious figure among the brothers. When he opened his mouth, Li Wen did not dare to slow down. He answered his promise loudly, slowed down the speed, rushed to the roadside, and shouted at the accompanying iron cavalry. In a few words, the cavalrymen, who were nagging endlessly, immediately stopped talking honestly, and no one dared to make a loud noise.
"Big brother, these grandchildren just need to be beaten. Hey, the eldest brother's order still works. The younger brother only shouted, and they are all honest."
Li Wen's worship of Li Chong was obviously deep into his bones. This suppressed everyone's complaint and immediately rushed back to Li Chong's side and sent a high hat with a smile.
"Hmm."
Li Chong had long been used to the admiration of his brothers. He was not moved by Li Wen's words, but said nothing saltyly, always looking at the direction of Luoyang City, with a strong sense of war in his eyes.
"Is the eldest brother still thinking about being taller than the king? Ha ha, when you enter Luoyang City this time, the eldest brother will definitely get what he wants. The younger brother is optimistic that the eldest brother will definitely win.
Li Wen only glanced at Li Chong, and knew that he was thinking about something, and immediately flattered him with a smile.
"Wow, speed up!"
As soon as he heard the word "King of England", Li Chongying's face was a twitch. He looked at Li Wen dissatisfiedly, shouted, raised his hand, and the whip in his hand had roared and landed on the horse's buttocks. The painful horse hissed, spread his four hoofs, and rushed along the ancient road in the direction of Luoyang City...
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue and his four sons have arrived outside the palace gate. Please make it clear."
In the main bedroom of Qianyuan Hall, Gao Zong held a thick brocade quilt and leaned on the high mat with a lonely expression. He looked blankly at the dark sky outside the window, like a clay sculpture. However, in just a few days, he faintly saw a lot of white silk and pale face in his original dark hair. It was full of sadness and sadness. With such a pitiful appearance, Gao Hesheng, who quietly marched into the dormitory, couldn't help but burst his heart, but he didn't dare to delay. He hurried to the bed and whispered.
"Brother, it's the eighth brother who is here. He's here. He's finally here." Hearing the sound, Gao Zong withdrew his sight from the window, looked at Gao Hesheng, and muttered a few words. Even if he was refreshed, Huo Ran sat up straight, waved his hand, roared and shouted: "Come on, come on, invite me in. Why don't you go!"
"Yes, the maidservant obeys the order."
As soon as he heard Gao Zong's words, Gao and Shengdeng were shocked, but he didn't dare to ask questions. He could only respectfully respond to the promise, but before he went, he looked at Gao Zong several times suspiciously - Li Hong's funeral was not only held according to the etiquette of the emperor, and the royal family everywhere naturally had to come to the funeral. These days Since the beginning of his son, there have been successive clan princes arriving in Luoyang City. Among them, there are many nobles. There are not only princes of the older generation such as Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Lingkui, the king of Lu, and Li Yuangui, the king of Huo, but also Li Shen, the king of Zhao, who are of the same generation as Gaozong. However, they have never seen Gao Zong so excited. Not to mention the summoning, it is the order capital. None of them, in general, let the Empress Wu come forward to deal with it. As soon as the king of Yue arrived, Gao Zong's reaction was so abnormal that he could not be suspicious. However, in front of Gao Zong, Gao Hesheng did not dare to ask at will. However, after leaving the bedroom, Gao Hesheng immediately whispered to a servant. The eunuch quickly went to Mingwu, and he himself walked to Zetianmen slowly, so as to leave enough buffer time for Wuhou.
The funeral of the Daxing Emperor has never been a simple thing. It is no exalongation to say that it is a thousand things. Even if Li Hong is just a son of the emperor, the formalities that should be done can't be saved at all. Even with the assistance of foreign ministers, the Empress Wu, as the actual owner of the palace, is still very busy. For a while It is to meet the royal clans who came, listen to the report of the funeral officials, and then have to be busy receiving the morning meeting of the assassins who rushed to Luoyang from all over the country. In addition, there are countless books to be reviewed. Even if the Empress Wu is very energetic, it has been tiring to turn down like this. However, the Empress Dowager Wu did not think it was bitter. She was energetic and did not see any fatigue at all. Well, it was almost noon. Queen Wu, who had just received the foreign minister, immediately buried her head in the pile of folds. She quickly read the folds that could never be approved, and her expression was extremely focused. Even a little eunuch hurried into the imperial study. The sound made can't make Wu Hou raise her head.
"Hmm?"
Although the Empress Wu didn't raise her head and the pen in her hand did not stop, her unhappy hum came out of her nostrils. With just one voice, the panicked little eunuch's legs were weak. Unexpectedly, she lay on the ground, trembled and stammered: "Qi, report to the Empress, Your Highness of Yue and Yue. Outside the palace gate..."
"Then declare it."
Empress Wu still didn't raise her head. In these days, Empress Wu has been used to receiving these princes who came to mourn. She didn't think that the King of Yue could be very special, and she didn't wait for the little eunuch to finish speaking and gave an order.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ah, Your Majesty has announced it."
As soon as he heard Wu Hou's words, the little eunuch panicked a little more, and his mouth trembled for a long time, and then he said a word without beginning and no end.
"Hmm?"
As soon as Queen Wu heard this, the pen in her hand suddenly stopped. Huo Ran raised his head and looked at the trembling little eunuch like a knife, and a huge murderous atmosphere suddenly rose...
