Li Hong didn't understand where Fang Xianzhong's confidence came from for a while, but through subsequent research and intersection, he found that in fact, Fang Xianzhong could clearly judge various complex situations in his heart.

But his only flaw is his fatal flaw, that is, he has no opinion, as long as you show strong self-confidence in front of him and say something he wants to believe, then you are killing him with a knife, and he will think you are a good person.

To put it bluntly, Fang Xianzhong belongs to a person who exists no matter what era he is, he has soft ears, lacks assertiveness, cares a lot about what others say about him, cares a lot about what others think of him, lives in the views of others all day long, but has an ambition that does not match his ability.

This doomed Fang Xianzhong, he can only exist as a deputy general, whether it is a civilian or military position, he is not suitable to be a leader.

Because he can analyze the situation very thoroughly, but he will not insist on and be confident in his own opinions, and will always support other people's decisions, and then veto his own opinions, even if he knows that he is right and others are wrong, he will not insist.

There is a qualitative difference between not not, not dare.

After Li Hong came back, Fang Xian had a trace of popularity, and during this period of time, because of King Pei's wedding, the focus of attention in Chang'an City was all concentrated there, and the prince was not in the East Palace for nearly a year, and it was reasonable that the entire East Palace seemed deserted.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he stood on the ground of the East Palace steadily, and saw Wang Lou's dead face standing with Lian Tie, looking at him respectfully, but he didn't dare to come.

Li Hong waved to the two of them speechlessly, signaling them to come over, didn't he just give an order to let him go to the palace immediately, as for standing so far away, it was like watching a ghost.

"Your Highness is tired of traveling, as soon as you get off the car, you have to go to the palace immediately, the slaves and maids are also very distressed about His Highness's fatigue, but the slaves and maids can't help it, this is His Highness's will." Wang Lou, as Li Hong's current personal eunuch of his dragon mother, is extremely afraid of Li Hong.

Especially after learning more about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from Lian Tie, Wang Lou was already in his heart and listed Li Hong as a person who must not be provoked, so he kept standing in the distance, preferring to go against the queen's will rather than come to provoke His Royal Highness the Prince.

looked at Wang Lou's respectful and cautious appearance, then sniffed and turned around, and said with a sneer: "What is the matter with you that I can eat you?" Did Lian Tie tell you something bad about me? ”

"No, no, no, the slave doesn't dare." Lian Tie was taken aback, he was innocent.

"I don't dare, let's talk about it, why is the queen mother so anxious to let me enter the palace?" Li Hong looked at Li Chuyuan and asked her with his eyes if she wanted to enter the palace together.

After getting a clear message, under the leadership of Wang Lou, the three of them went to the palace, and Lian Tie, after Li Hong came back, then he didn't have to go to the palace again, after all, the East Palace was where he should stay now.

On the way back from Luoyang, Li Hong's heart was not calm, compared to Father Long, he was even more jealous of his mother, and now in such a situation, it is estimated that everyone can see that he and the sixth child are already in an endless situation.

Before they returned, the officials above the court watched and stood in line, and the six departments of the three provinces, the nine temples and the five supervisors were also watching and standing in line, and the overall effect was satisfactory to themselves.

Li Lingyue is not in Penglai Palace, it is estimated that when Bai Chun comes back with a gift from the south, Li Lingyue, a little white-eyed wolf, will miss herself a lot, right?

The little white-eyed wolf now has nothing but novel toys and gifts that can make her happy. At this heartless age, I'm afraid that nothing can make her happy for a few days.

"The son has seen the queen mother." Li Hong didn't even have time to change his clothes, he was already standing in front of Wu Mei.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong silently, compared to before he went to the south, Li Hong's whole person had undergone some subtle changes.

When he came back from the battle of Anxi, he had a fierce spirit of bravery. After returning from the battle against Anton, the whole person seemed a lot more restrained, with a little less killing momentum and more elegance and wisdom.

And now when I come back from the south of the Yangtze River, the whole person seems to have returned to the basics, like a bottomless well water, clear but deep, clean and pure, but also with a firm and calm like Yue Rusong.

"Grown up." Wu Mei couldn't help but nod with relief in her heart: "Get up, this is a change of clothes, it's no wonder it's embarrassing for you." ”

"It's not difficult, as soon as I arrived in Chang'an to see my father, the emperor and the queen mother, it is the number of courtesies that my sons should do." Li Hong got up, looked at Wu Mei and said.

The age of the dragon mother seems to have been forgotten by the years, as if it has been frozen by time, and compared with a year ago, there is no change in it.

It is still peerless, graceful and luxurious, and the whole person has the posture of the phoenix of the world, blooming more and more, and the demeanor of a generation of divas is fully revealed.

"Li Chuyuan has seen the queen." At this time, it can be the time for Li Chuyuan to salute and meet the queen.

Compared with other princes and clan relatives who meet the emperor and empress together, when the prince meets the emperor and empress, others cannot meet with the prince, and can only wait until the prince and the empress have completed the ceremony before they can come forward to pay their respects.

Wu Mei had a dignified smile on her face, looked at Li Chuyuan with a smile and said: "It's difficult for you these days, let you serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a royal clan and county lord, along the way, I didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"How could it be ......." As soon as Li Hong was about to speak, he was glared back by Wu Mei, so he had to stand honestly and see with his own eyes whether Li Chuyuan would betray him.

"Chu Yuan thanked the queen for her concern, the imperial brother took care of Chu Yuan along the way, and did not embarrass Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan is clumsy, I am afraid that I will not serve the imperial brother well, but fortunately, the imperial brother is kind-hearted, magnanimous, and sincere ......."

"Okay, don't put gold on his face, he still knows what the palace looks like, it's been a few days of travel, and I'm tired, the palace where I lived is still for you, go over and rest and freshen up." Wu Mei ignored and stood for a while, then took the initiative to sit down and said to Li Chuyuan.

"Yes, Queen, Chu Yuan retired." Li Chuyuan bowed generously and retired.

As soon as Li Chuyuan left, Wu Mei's expression turned cold without Li Hong's surprise, and she said coldly: "Come with me." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Li Hong had been patrolling the hall several times, but he didn't see where Bai Chun and the others had gone, so he followed behind Wu Mei and walked to the study.

Walking into the study, as soon as he followed Wu Mei and sat down on the chair, he was glared at by Wu Mei again, looking at the dragon mother behind the generous wooden desk, Li Hong smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, Queen Mother?" Why don't you seem happy that Erchen is back? ”

"Happy? You're giving me some reason to be happy? What are you doing here? Wouldn't it be leisurely to stay in the small mountain village of Xingyang? How good is the life of Xianyun Yehe, why come back to Chang'an? Wu Mei's eyebrows jumped, and she reprimanded coldly.

"Queen Mother, you also know that Erchen doesn't want to come back earlier, trapped in a small mountain village, and Erchen is also ......."

"You're forced to do the same, aren't you? Or do you just want Chang'an City to keep messing up, and then come back at the last minute to clean up the mess? It seems that you Li Hongcheng Mansion is deep, and it seems that you are resourceful and changeable? Why exactly are you doing this? Again and again gave Li Xian that unwarranted hope, why did you have to drive him to a dead end before you were willing to give up? The more Wu Mei spoke, the more powerless her tone became.

"The queen mother, the sons and daughters are not willing to do this, but ...... Erchen can control himself, but he can't control what others are thinking and wanting. Even if nothing happened today, it will still happen in the future, what did you ask your son to do at that time? Li Hong walked up to Wu Mei, looked at Wu Mei and said sincerely.

Wu Mei was speechless, there are some things, it is not Li Hong who took the initiative to promote, Luoyang Luoshui, has given enough warnings, back to Chang'an, Li Xian is still ambitious, everything about the two brothers in Changmingfang, he and His Majesty don't know, but what can it be?

Fortunately, in the end, Li Dan was kidnapped by Wencheng using Pei Yan, and then the three brothers worked together overnight to save Li Dan and fought all night.

thought that in this way, everything would have disappeared, but unexpectedly, Li Hong's southward movement still made Li Xian unable to bear the imminent ambition in his heart.

"Is there really no way back? How about being relegated to Lingnan? The capital protector of the capital in the clouds, since Li Zhe is interested, let it be given to Li Zhe, Li Xian only took the name of the prince and went to Lingnan to ....... ”

"And then Erchen went south again and suppressed it? Or will it be like Li Jingye in Yangzhou when the time comes, and I need to use my Tang Erlang's life to calm all this? How can we turn back all this today? Did he turn back? ”

"Name your terms." Wu Mei sighed and said suddenly, "But remember, don't go too far!" ”

"Abolished as a commoner, exiled to Bazhou." Li Hong said word by word.

Wu Mei was silent, where is Bazhou? Li Hong's base camp.

It is bordered by Kunlun Mountain in the south, Tianshan Mountain in the north, on one side is the Tubo Protectorate, and on the other hand, it is supervised by the Anxi Protectorate, and Li Xian is exiled here, which is equivalent to being completely isolated from the Tang Dynasty, and even when people die, I am afraid that Chang'an will not know.

"Tomorrow's sixth birthday, as the crown prince, don't forget the number of courtesies you should have, go down." Wu Mei leaned on the back of the chair decadently, held her forehead and waved her hand to Li Hong, and said weakly.

"The son of the minister retired, and the son wanted to go to the Xuanzheng Palace to visit his father, but I don't know if it is right now." After Li Hong walked to the door, he suddenly turned to look at Wu Mei and asked.

"No need, your father is in poor health today, and he is recuperating for the wedding of the sixth child tomorrow, so there is no need to disturb."

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Li Hong glanced behind Wu Mei, saluted and walked out.

And when he left, it wasn't until his figure passed by the window that Li Zhi slowly walked out of the screen behind Wu Mei.
