Although the crown prince has fallen behind, it is by no means possible to make the balance completely tilted, Li Xiu's identity is very sensitive, and it is difficult to bypass him by doing something. ”

Shang Ling looked at Li Wenxuan with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

The reason why the queen was able to balance the prince and the national teacher in the court was not herself, but Li Wenxuan.

Many of the people who fell into her faction were impressed by Li Wenxuan's personal charm, such as the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Shang Ling was like this.

Jiang Manquan picked up the teacup and glanced at Shang Ling, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Shang Ling really looks up to him, I heard that you sacrificed your life to save Li Xiu before the two open rivers, even in the face of Si Leyan, you will not take half a step back, which is really admirable." ”

Shang Ling's face sank, he turned his gaze to look at him, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "What does Lord Jiang mean by this?"

The two of them were anything but friendly.

Jiang Manquan took a sip of tea, the aroma of tea wafted throughout the room, and he said lightly: "It's not interesting, Li Xiu is the prince of the Tang Kingdom after all, and it is reasonable for Lord Shang Ling to sacrifice his life to save him, isn't it?"

The atmosphere in the hall became a little eerie.

Qi Liu stood behind Qi Qin and gently squeezed his shoulders and did not interject.

Yuan Wenzhao, the secretary of Dali Temple, looked at them with a frown, and said in a deep voice: "Today I am here to discuss matters, not to quarrel, in front of Lord Taiwei, what kind of system will I become?"

Shang Ling turned around, holding his breath and ignoring it.

Jiang Manquan sneered, and kept playing with the tea leaves with the tea lid, extremely leisurely.

There are many officials in the queen's faction, but there are only a few most important ministers, and last time he took the initiative to let Shang Ling go to Gusu City with Li Wenxuan, just with the intention of waiting for the opportunity.

And what happened after that was really intriguing, Shang Ling sacrificed his life to save Li Xiu, and he didn't take half a step back in the face of Si Leyan, there are too many articles that can be done here.

Sometimes there will be fights between the same factions, which is inevitable.

The two of them were quiet, Yuan Wenzhao glanced at Jiang Manquan without a trace, with disgust in the depths of his eyes, a dog slave who betrayed his master and sought glory, when Concubine Yang was in power, he was in charge of the household department, but he did not stumble on himself.

"Your Highness should not be anxious at this moment, the prince's side is even more anxious than us, and when this Heaven Locking Tower trial is over, it is not too late to wait and see what happens. ”

Yuan Wenzhao suggested to Li Wenxuan.

Taiwei's closed eyelids moved slightly, Yuan Wenzhao was wise, steady, and had a unique vision, which was also an important reason why he was able to sit in the position of Dali Siqing.

Li Wenxuan nodded lightly, his fair face was slightly yellowed by the firelight, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned, and then closed his mouth.

There was plenty of sunlight outside, and very little of it shone through the wooden window, and at this moment a figure appeared in front of the sunlight at the door, revealing a shadow.

Qi Qin's tightly closed eyes opened.

A weak voice came out of his mouth: "Come in." ”

The door of the temple was pushed open, and a gray-clad boy walked in through the door.

This is the spy of the Taiwei Mansion, who pretended to be a small servant and guarded on Suzaku Street during the day, and followed Li Xiu all the way until the National Teacher's Mansion retreated.

Qi Liu poured a cup of tea for his father, looked up at the spy, and asked, "How is it?"

The spy nodded and said respectfully: "Yan Hui and Xu Ziji picked up Li Xiu together, and Drunken Chunfeng and Xu Yingxiu came back with them. ”

The drunken spring breeze really came back alive.

Qi Liu's face was cold, and he asked again, "But what did you find wrong?"

The group took the carriage of the Ministry of Industry to the National Teacher's Mansion, what could be wrong?

But when the spy heard this, his face showed hesitation, and he paused for a moment.

Even ordinary spies wouldn't show such an appearance, not to mention that he was from the Taiwei Mansion, which was very unusual.

So the rest of the people couldn't help but look over at the same time, that is, Qi Qin raised his eyelids and glanced at it.

Say. ”

The spy hurriedly lowered his head and replied truthfully: "It stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Prince should go to the National Teacher's Mansion or the East Palace as soon as possible when he returns to Beijing, but the carriage of the Ministry of Industry did not go straight to the National Teacher's Mansion, but took a detour. ”

Got a detour?

Shang Ling and Yuan Wenzhao glanced at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, the Sky Locking Tower is about to open, they should meet as quickly as possible at this time, why take a detour?

At this time, of course, he couldn't wait for the master to ask, and the spy paused for a moment before continuing: "His Royal Highness the Prince is walking on Xuanhua Street. ”

Li Wenxuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Qi Qin's cloudy eyes quickly flashed with a gleam.

Shang Ling and Yuan Wenzhao looked at Jiang Manquan in unison.

Jiang Manquan's face was pale, and the teacup in his hand was placed on the table, making a soft snapping sound.

The mansion of Hubu Shangshu Jiang Manquan is on Xuanhua Street.

What is the purpose of Li Xiu's move?

......

......

Compared with the grandeur of the Taiwei Mansion, the National Teacher's Mansion is much shabby, the building is not luxurious, the style is more inclined to the folk tune, and there is a small pond in the courtyard, it seems that older people love to furnish like this, such as Chen Jinglong, such as General Chen.

There are many kinds of places to welcome guests in the National Teacher's Mansion, but there is only one place to receive people close to you, in front of the thatched house in the courtyard of the house.

It is very rare to see a thatched house in Chang'an, especially in a location like the National Teacher's Mansion, even Li Xiu couldn't help but look at it twice.

The national teacher sat in front of the small pond, looking at a small patch of reeds in the pond with gentle eyes, although it was winter, but for a powerhouse like him at the peak of the Five Realms, there was actually no difference between the four seasons.

Li Xianyi sat on a wooden chair beside him, and a pile of recitals was placed on the table in front of him, and every ten pieces he collected were handed over to the person beside him to hand them over, and then passed them on to various departments to start implementation.

The group walked through the thatched house and came to the front of Xiaotang, Yan Hui and Xu Ziji walked forward and saluted, and shouted a word of the national teacher.

Li Xiu doesn't care about these false courtesies, or that the status of the court today is only above the emperor and the queen.

There are many small fish in the pond, and there are a few red koi fish, and the fins cut through the water back and forth look very beautiful.

Li Xiu glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and said lightly: "I told you two things last time, you said it was too early, so now it seems that it is still early?"

Li Xianyi was still reviewing the recital and didn't look up, he had been busy for a while recently.

The gentleness in the eyes of the national teacher dissipated a little, and he was silent for a while and said softly: "It's still early." ”

Li Xiu asked again, "Is that still going to be done?"

This time, the national teacher was silent for a longer time, and then said, "Do it." ”
