Li Zhongxuan listened to the opinions of the two sides and thought about it seriously, and there were many people who thought that the old officials of the previous dynasty should not be given too high official titles and honors, but Li Zhongxuan did not think so.

He is a person who is thirsty for talent, and he wants people to see his "great harmony in the world" here, as long as you are a person who is really useful to the court, and heroes are everywhere.

That Gao Dechang was awarded the position of first-class Zaifu, and the tide rose, but this Lord Zaifu did not turn over and be arrogant as soon as he turned over, he was still no different from before, so one by one, Li Zhongxuan was relieved a lot.

During this period, Li Zhongxuan began to rectify state affairs, broaden his views, and recruit talents.

This Gao Dechang has been Zaifu for a month, and all kinds of things have been handled in an orderly manner, and the facts have once again proved Li Zhongxuan's wisdom of knowing people, but one day a month later, a small incident happened.

Everyone began to discuss the matter of canonizing the queen at the court meeting, and the election has always been the most important thing, and according to the regulations of the first election every three years, this year cannot be perfunctory in any way.

The court and the community responded positively, and everyone was busy with the affairs of Empress Li Zhongxuan, although they knew that sending their relatives to the palace was equivalent to sending them to the fire pit, and people were still happy to prepare for it.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of this year's general election, and it is all with you." The eunuch sent Danqing in.

The portraits of the girls were all painted by the court painter Mao Yanshou, and it seemed that their eyes were bright and beautiful.

Li Zhongxuan held the first two and looked at them, and threw away the large stack of papers, "They really sharpened their heads and wanted to send their own girls in, but I hated it very much." ”

Complaining is complaining, after all, Li Zhongxuan still carefully selected some, in order to consolidate the harem, he can only compromise.

After the election of concubines came to an end, Li Zhongxuan summoned General Cheng one night, and General Cheng's recent resentment completely disagreed with Li Zhongxuan's appointment of Gao Dechang as prime minister.

"Your Majesty, after the tall man became a Zaifu recently, he was like a tiger with wings, many people went in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion every day, and the high carts and horses were ushered in, it was really amazing, I think if he planted the party for personal gain, the future will be difficult to say."

"Really?" Li Zhongxuan frowned and looked at General Cheng.

In fact, he may not really be at ease with Gao Dechang.

"Hey, is it fake?" General Cheng's words had already spoken, and he couldn't speak, and after a sigh, he looked at Li Zhongxuan.

"Immediately and secretly form a security army!" Li Zhongxuan only said this one sentence, and General Cheng smiled and nodded again and again.

According to Li Zhongxuan's requirements, the members of the security army must be elite and strong generals from a hundred, and they must be brave and have combat experience, and they must be formed in secret according to the requirements.

On the surface, it seems that he completely ignores the personnel of the imperial court, but he is concerned about everything.

One day at a court meeting, several widows suggested that the emperor canonize the queen.

"Your Majesty, the harem is now full of talents, and you should also canonize a queen." One person suggests, everyone suggests.

They scrambled to say, and finally a thousand words converged into a theme, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, it is better to let Gao Yupan, the daughter of the prime minister, be the queen, the daughter of the Gao family is as beautiful as a flower, not to mention, she is still a person with a blue heart." ”

Saying this, Gao Dechang realized something, and began to recommend himself, "The dog girl is sixteen years old this year, Weichen has not dared to let go for many years, and he has been looking for a master to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was three years old. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhongxuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and sure enough, this Gao Dechang was ambitious.

Li Zhongxuan was noncommittal.

At night, General Cheng made a pilgrimage, and Li Zhongxuan closed his eyes in the Heart Cultivation Palace, holding Nanmu's rosary in his hand, "How is the formation of the security army?" ”

"Everything is done according to the will of our emperor, and there are now five hundred people."

"That's enough!" Li Zhongxuan opened his bright eyes, "Let them practice well in case they need it." ”

Five hundred, not a lot of people, but these five hundred people are as strong as tens of thousands of stragglers, and General Cheng hid in the dark and drifted away.

The two often maintain secret contact, and everyone is still in the dark, how can they know about the security army?

On the second day, after the morning dynasty was over, someone sent Gao Yupan to the imperial city, Gao Yupan is indeed a beauty, although she is only sixteen years old, but she is graceful and graceful.

She smiled faintly like you, bright and beautiful.

"You're Gao Yupan?"

"The courtier's daughter is Gao Yupan." This Gao Yupan was not afraid of Tianwei at all, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have been working hard recently, and the courtiers have come to this imperial capital to relieve your boredom." ”

This Gao Yupan is very good at telling stories, the stories are fascinating, and the eloquence is witty, and Li Zhongxuan is fascinated by it.

But Li Zhongxuan never mentioned the canonization, as if he didn't know about it at all, and Gao Yupan didn't reason, and he still accompanied Li Zhongxuan every day.

Is she just a Hui Lan Xin? It's like a kitchen under the hall, since Gao Yupan arrived at the palace, Li Zhongxuan basically doesn't eat much of the things sent from the imperial dining room, and Gao Yupan washes his hands and makes soup for him every day.

"This is lotus chicken, your majesty, try it." Gao Yu Pan Bu Cai, carefully observe what the emperor likes to eat, and next time he will do what he likes.

"This is a crystal steamed dumpling." The dishes made by Gao Yupan are full of color and fragrance, which is almost beyond the level of the imperial dining room.

The two have gradually become friends who talk about everything, Gao Yupan never sets herself up, she knows her height and her position.

Taking care of Li Zhongxuan's diet and daily life every day has become a part of her life, and as for Li Zhongxuan's next court, she searched for dry intestines and said all kinds of witty words to relieve Li Zhongxuan's worries and boredom.

"You're really my interpreter flower." But having said that, Li Zhongxuan never let her sleep, not only Gao Yupan did not have this honor, but the concubines who came from the general election some time ago did not have this honor.

The relationship between the concubines of the harem and him can be accurately summed up in six words, "affectionate and courteous".

No matter what happened in the previous dynasty, Gao Yupan Chonglian ignored it and stuck to his own little world.

In this way, he was more close to her, and Li Zhongxuan also talked about him and Qiao An, Gao Yupan couldn't help but sigh, Li Zhongxuan regarded Gao Yupan as a confidant.

But the so-called "the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry", Gao Dechang has never seen Li Zhongxuan's canonization, and he can't help but be annoyed.

On this day, a large group of people gathered and began to break their thoughts in Li Zhongxuan's ears, the previous hint was already obvious, and they were afraid that Li Zhongxuan would be angry and ashamed, so they had to stop there.

"I have already looked for the best candidate for the queen and the imperial concubine among the concubines, so don't worry about salty radishes." Seeing Li Zhongxuan's impatient look, everyone had no choice but to stop.

But every once in a while, under the guidance of Lord Zaifu, there is still constant noise, and Li Zhongxuan never tires of it.

On this day, Li Zhongxuan retreated from the former dynasty and prepared to go to the Tianlai Pavilion to be quiet and quiet, but as soon as he arrived at the Bee Waist Bridge, a person suddenly flew out of the Taiye Pool.

The man was holding a handful of Emei thorns in his hand, apparently he had been hidden in the pond for a long time, he was wearing a night clothes, the whole person was wet, and his movements were very cold.

The guards hurriedly came over to escort the car, but Li Zhongxuan and the man in black had already fought together, and Li Zhongxuan had no weapons, so he fought and retreated.

The man was very familiar with the harem environment, and the weapons in his hands were relaxed one by one, light as a poisonous snake, and soon Li Zhongxuan's shoulder was injured.

If he weren't wearing an invulnerable piece of gold silk armor, there would have been an extra bloody hole in his shoulder at this moment.

"Your Majesty, go on." While summoning people to surround him, a guard threw a weapon to Li Zhongxuan, who held the weapon and began to concentrate on dealing with the man.

Let's say that this afternoon, Gao Yupan has prepared a meal in the Yangxin Palace, left and right and so on did not see Li Zhongxuan arrive, inevitably Li Zhongxuan went to the Tianlai Pavilion, she hurried to the Tianlai Pavilion, on the way because she saw the white pomegranate blossoms blooming brightly, picked a handful, and entered the garden outside the Tianlai Pavilion while sniffing.

How did she know that a vicious fight was going on here?

The battle was in full swing, and the man in black dodged and tricked Li Zhongxuan into stepping forward, and Li Zhongxuan also hid behind the trees to peep at him, and the two of them chased after me, like an eagle catching a lark.

"Your Majesty, are you here?" Suddenly, the tense atmosphere broke through a graceful voice.

"Miss Gao, beware!" The guards shouted loudly, and Lord Banner rolled on the ground, ready to go to the rescue.

How did Gao Yupan know what was going on? Turning around like lightning, he felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and his intuition was that someone was going to attack Li Zhongxuan.

"Brother Zhongxuan!" She didn't know where the strength came from, so she pushed Li Zhongxuan away forcefully, and at the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and fainted.

Yu Linwei succeeded and besieged the man in black, and everyone was going to leave the man to investigate, but the man took a step back and committed suicide on the guard's spear.

Someone immediately went to the medical officer, and someone found a rope to tie up the man in black.

Li Zhongxuan didn't expect her to appear suddenly, he saw her blood dripping on the white pomegranate flower, and soon, the white pomegranate flower became red.

"Pan'er! Pan'er! Li Zhongxuan hugged Gao Yupan up, looking very excited, this girl actually blocked a fatal sword for herself!

After a while, the court was lively, and General Cheng arrived and seriously inquired about the ins and outs of the matter, and looked at the man in black carefully.

"Your Majesty, the culprit's lips are blue and the soles of his feet are swollen, it seems that he was ambushed in the pool of liquid last night, just waiting for today's fatal blow!" General Cheng told Li Zhongxuan of the conclusion.

Li Zhongxuan's heart was in turmoil, he glanced at Gao Yupan, who was dying on the cloud couch, and the busy medical officer, and pointed to the door.

"Can you see what the road is?"

"As far as the guards say, this martial arts routine doesn't seem to be a decent person, and the last general guesses that he is a hired killer, that's all."

"Okay, I got it."

Although the matter has passed at this moment, Li Zhongxuan's palpitations still exist, and I have to say that the martial arts of the Jianghu people are very vicious.

The two were still chatting, Zaifu Gao Dechang came, no one arrived, the cry had arrived, "My daughter, Pan'er, Pan'er." ”

Everyone hurriedly got out of the way, and Gao Dechang entered the crowd, hugged his daughter and cried bitterly.

"Pull away, quick!" The medical officer had the collapsed tall man pulled away.

"Xiangye, don't be impatient, the imperial doctor is already in the diagnosis and treatment, it should be fine." General Cheng helped Gao Dechang to wait beside him.

In this compartment, the medical officer came out of the inner room and knelt in front of Li Zhongxuan.

The medical officer had something unspeakable, and his eyes betrayed him, Li Zhongxuan saw the strange light in his eyes, and said, "Say whatever you want!" ”
