When the night was dark, the lights of Chang'an Wanjia were lit, and the palace at the end of Suzaku Street suddenly hung a huge red lantern, and there were Gejia soldiers walking back and forth, constantly patrolling around the palace wall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some old residents of Chang'an suddenly found that there seemed to be two more teams of Gejia soldiers tonight, and the number of people was enough to reach a thousand. These armor soldiers are wearing well-known bright light armor, and at first glance they are not ordinary soldiers, and the lowest is the rank of captain in the army.

"It's weird, could it be that something can't happen tonight?" The people of the imperial capital are highly knowledgeable, and an old resident touched his chin and muttered: "The entire palace suddenly increased guards, not only the left and right Yulin dispatched, but also the left and right Shenwu Army, the left and right Longwu Army, and the obedient old lady, this scene seems to have only been seen once in the ninth year of Wude......"

Before he finished speaking, a person next to him suddenly stretched out his hand and said in a low voice: "Brother, look at it, not only the palace guards have sent more people, but the number of martial artists patrolling the streets has also increased suddenly!" ”

The old resident nodded again and again, and sighed softly: "I have already seen that the team that just passed was wearing hard armor and carrying a steel horizontal knife at his waist, and they were not ordinary martial marquis of Chang'an County, but a Qianniu guard soldier stationed in Gyeonggi. ”

Patrol the streets with soldiers, this is the highest level of security mentioned performance, the two people glanced at each other, and were about to discuss a few more words in private, when they suddenly heard the morning bell at the gate of the palace, and a bell rang in the distance.

The bell is melodious, the thick voice is excited, and a general shouted: "Spread Your Majesty's will, King Zhao of Xifu will return from the north, and the palace will hold a celebration dinner, because all branches of the royal family and important ministers of the court will participate, and there will be no curfew tonight, and the people in the city can go shopping and walk at will......"

The eyes of the two people flashed, and they said in unison: "It turned out to be the matter of King Zhao of Xifu, Your Majesty wants to give him a banquet to celebrate, no wonder there is such a big move tonight!" ”

Hearing the general shouting again: "Your Majesty has an order to send Qianniuwei to serve as a military marquis, carefully inspect all street entrances, and ensure that the assets of the people shopping are not lost, but if there is theft and robbery, they will all be killed." ”

The general announced in a loud voice, and several groups of soldiers turned on their horses, shouting and repeating his words all the way, conveying Li Shimin's will to the whole city.

The two people glanced at each other, and the old resident laughed and said excitedly: "I have to go home quickly, there is no curfew tonight, the East and West markets will inevitably be crowded, we have ancestral noodle soup skills, just go to the intersection of the West Market to set up a stall." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around, and the people behind him also looked happy and muttered, "There is no curfew tonight, and I have to put the tea stall out......

The two people are just a microcosm, as the news continues to spread, more and more old residents of Chang'an go out of their homes, do business to find a place to set up stalls, and want to go shopping with enough copper money.

The city is full of lights and gradually becomes lively.

As soon as the time passed, there was a car and horse suddenly appeared on Suzaku Street, first a car with a lacquered gold carved unicorn frame rumbled, and the driver who drove the car threw a whip in the air, and said loudly: "The king of Huai'an is ordered to go to the banquet!" ”

Wow -

There was an uproar on the streets!

Who is Li Shentong, King of Huai'an? He is the cousin of Emperor Li Yuan, the uncle of the emperor Li Shimin, the first-class prince of the Tang Dynasty, the first class prince of the Tang Dynasty, the opening of the palace and the three divisions, there is real power in the army, and the court is a big man, this is a well-known prince of the real power.

It is said that this old man has been in poor health recently, and he has been closed for half a year, and he can't even get sick at the court meeting on weekdays, so he didn't expect to be the first to come to the banquet tonight.

Look at the frame of other people's cars, painted with gold powder, with wing screens, the carriage is carved with a unicorn symbolizing martial arts, and it is hideous and mighty under the lights, and it has a monstrous momentum.

The carriage traveled all the way to the gate of the palace, and the curtain of the carriage door was suddenly lifted, but I saw a thin old man trembling down, although there was a feeling of wind and candle old age, but there was a fine light in his eyes.

The two teams stood solemnly with Ge Guards, and the general who shouted before stepped forward quickly, bowed his hand and said: "Li Long, the general of Yulin Wei, has seen the prince of Huai'an, and the marshal has been in better health recently?" ”

The reason why he is called the commander is because Li Shentong was the chief general of Yulin Guard, and this Li Long is also from the royal branch, so he has to call Li Shentong's grandfather according to his generation.

"Brother Long is good, I haven't seen you for half a year, but you have a bit of general momentum on you, and the old man is very happy to see it!" Li Shentong smiled and praised, suddenly reached out and patted Li Long on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "You are my cousin's nephew, the old man wants to tell you a few words, tonight's banquet is mixed, not only the royal family of all veins is coming, many courtiers are also ordered to participate, you are responsible for the palace gate to greet you, your eyes should be a little brighter, some people can greet each other with a smile, and some people must not talk to you......"

Li Long was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Tang, please also make it clear which kind of person should greet him with a smile and which kind of person should stay away." ”

Li Shentong stroked his beard with a smile, suddenly looked in the direction of Suzaku Street, and said: "For example, this carriage that comes, don't be too friendly with him, except for routine inspections, don't say a word." ”

Li Long nodded solemnly, looked at the carriage on the street, and his face suddenly flashed with a hint of strangeness.

"Grandpa Tang, that seems to be King Wei's carriage?"

Li Shentong smiled and opened his mouth with all his front teeth open, like a dark hole......

……

……

The second carriage that appeared was none other than Li Tai's frame, the wheels rattled, and it soon arrived in front of the palace.

The Tang Palace is strictly forbidden, except for the frame of the Son of Heaven and the queen phoenix can enter, everyone else has to park outside the door, there used to be the frame of the prince of the East Palace to enter, but now the East Palace is vacant, so there are only two kinds of frame left after the emperor.

Li Shentong's frame stopped on the east side of the door, and King Wei's frame leaned against the side, but when he saw a fat boy jumping directly from the car, he ran over happily all the way, and said loudly to Li Shendao: "It turns out that the emperor's grandfather has already arrived, and Qingque still thinks I'm the first!" ”

Li Shentong smiled faintly, suddenly lowered his head and coughed a few times, panting constantly, looking old and weak, he arched his hand and said: "King Wei must not call me the emperor's grandfather, although this king has the first generation, but after all, you are the blood of the Yan family, except for the emperor, no one can be your grandfather, let's still be commensurate with the title......"

Li Tai was slightly stunned, his round face was innocent, and he said with a smile: "Where does the imperial grandfather speak, the seniority is the first, and he should be the elder, this king respects you the most for a royal elder, so why not call him grandpa?" ”

Li Shentong kept coughing, and even his body was stiffened, and he barely gasped: "The old man is weak and sick, and he can't stand at the palace gate for a long time, I will go to the palace to rest in the banquet hall, King Wei doesn't seem to have been examined yet, this matter is more cumbersome and time-consuming, and the old man won't wait for you." ”

He coughed and whined loudly, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and then he walked as fast as he could, and disappeared behind the palace gate in the blink of an eye.

Li Tai's chubby little face was smiling, and he lowered his hand to bid farewell to Li Shentong respectfully, looking polite and sensible, but Li Long next to him saw his eyes flashing in a trance.

"Alas, the emperor's grandfather has been fighting horses all his life, opening up territory for my Tang Dynasty, I can't imagine that the hero is like this, it really hurts the king's heart." Li Tai let out a long sigh, and suddenly turned his head to Li Long and smiled sweetly: "General Long has been stationed at the palace gate all the year round, and his loyalty is comparable to the sun and the moon, which really makes this king admire." ”

Li Long felt abrupt in his heart, he had also laughed with Li Tai before, but at this moment, he remembered Li Shentong's teachings, bowed with a solemn face, and said: "King Wei, please stand still for a while, and after the last general summons someone to check for a while, he will immediately let you go......"

Li Tai's smile suddenly closed, and he said viciously: "You are not the king of Huai'an, don't think that this king is weak and can be bullied." I greeted Corporal Lixian with a smile, do you dare to give me perfunctory words? ”

The innocence on the fat face is gone, and under the light of the lantern on the palace wall, there is a faint hideousness.

Li Long was not afraid of him, he looked up to the sky and smiled, and said again: "Lord Wang, please wait a moment, the last general will call someone to check, we are responsible for guarding, don't blame the offense!" ”

He directly left Li Tai and walked back to the palace gate to stand proudly, his eyes not squinting, like a clay statue.

The guards on both sides walked up to Li Tai and said respectfully: "Don't blame King Wei, I'm going to check it later, this is the law of the palace gate guards, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Li Tai snorted, suddenly reached out and patted his chest, flicked his sleeves at the armorers, and shouted angrily: "Have you seen clearly, this king does not carry a sharp weapon on his body, can I enter the door now?" ”

He is just a fourteen-year-old child, even if he suddenly turns his face, it gives people an illusion that he needs to be tolerated, the two teams of armor soldiers sighed helplessly, circled around Li Tai's body a few times, and found that they did not carry sharp weapons, everyone bowed again, and said respectfully: "I invite King Wei into the palace." ”

Li Tai didn't even look at the armor, raised his feet and walked towards the palace, and when he reached the palace gate, he suddenly spat at Li Long viciously, and said in a low voice: "Who would have predicted the future, you pulled away from this king so early, didn't you want to hug the thigh of that folk mongrel?" Li Long, you have to think clearly, once you stand in line and deviate, you will be the life and death enemy of this king......"

He deliberately lowered his voice, so he was not afraid that the armor could hear it from a distance, and this way of directly opening his mouth to threaten was not an idiot, but a combination of grace and power that the superior was best at.

If you follow me, you will naturally greet me with a smile!

But if you don't follow, you will be an enemy to be killed.

Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has been so cruel, and although Li Tai is a fourteen-year-old boy, he is already well versed in this method.

It's a pity that Li Long didn't seem to hear his threat, and still stood with his head held high, like a deaf fool.

Li Tai's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to threaten and intimidate again, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, a disdainful laugh came slowly, and he mocked: "Qingque is full of grace and power, intending to subdue the palace gate guards, don't you want to control the palace Yulin Guard, he wants to force the palace in his year?" ”

In the midst of the ridicule, a slightly older boy Shi Ran walked over, and it was the former prince Li Chengqian.

Li Tai snorted lightly in his nose, and his round face suddenly hung a sweet smile, and he grinned: "It turned out to be Brother Chengqian, are you also riding in the prince's carriage tonight?" Alas, although the prince's carriage is comfortable, after all, it is not as good as the prince's frame, and the little brother looks at you with a little pale, presumably he can't stand the bumps in the carriage and horses, this matter is really heart-wrenching! ”

He rolled his eyes a few times, and then said: "Why don't I go and beg my father and the emperor to exempt you from the responsibility of going to the banquet, so that my brother can go back early to rest, otherwise my brother will be called the king of the wall at the banquet, and you will not look good at that time......."

Li Chengqian was furious, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
