Black robe, solemn, meticulous.

If these words are brought together, then there is no doubt that these people are the people of the National Teacher's Mansion.

"Something happened to Chang'an?"

The group walked out of the dense forest, and the startled birds hovered in the air for a long time and fell back into the mountain forest, there were hundreds of people standing on the official road outside the mountain forest, almost all of them were monks of the Three Realms, and there were four carriages from the Ministry of Industry in the middle, which was not only magnificent, but also extremely safe.

Li Xiu glanced at the crowd and asked.

Hearing his inquiry, Yan Hui and Xu Ziji glanced at each other, and they could both see a touch of surprise in each other's eyes, His Royal Highness the Prince had left Kyoto for several months, and now he had just walked out of the Mohui Valley, and of course he didn't know anything about the outside world.

It's amazing that you can see at a glance that something is wrong in Kyoto.

Thinking like this, the surprise in the eyes of the two quickly turned into a touch of admiration, and they said softly: "The eyes of the prince of the world, a little thing is nothing. ”

Drunken Spring Breeze snorted.

Li Xiu didn't speak, raised his chin and raised it gently.

The two bowed, then leaned slightly sideways and pointed to the first carriage.

Li Si glanced at Li Xiu and Drunken Chunfeng, and his body rose into the air and stood in mid-air.

Li Xiu glanced up and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm done. Li Si shrugged his shoulders, paused for a while, and then said, "And in the affairs of Kyoto, I don't want to interfere with Xuelou. ”

This is speaking of himself, but it is also a hint.

Li Xiu naturally understood the meaning of his words, but he didn't care, he just waved his hand to signal that there was no need to say more.

Li Si looked at Drunken Chunfeng, who drooped his shoulders and lowered his head, so he didn't say anything more and disappeared into a streamer in the sky.

The carriage of the Ministry of Industry is very comfortable to sit in, and the internal space is large enough, Li Xiu is lying on his side in the carriage, and Yan Hui and Xu Ziji are sitting on one side.

The official road is very flat, and the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Engineering is indeed outstanding, so you can't feel the slightest bump when you walk like this, which is better than the carriage when you went to Gusu City before.

Say. ”

The windows were not closed, only covered with a pure black curtain, the carriage was running fast on the road, the wind blew into the carriage through the window, and from time to time there were pale white transparent talismans flashing on the windows, and the wind entered it and turned into a breeze and gently hit the three people.

Li Xiu looked at the two of them and said lightly.

Yan Hui is older, middle-aged, mediocre in appearance, but full of righteousness, which makes people look unconsciously trusting, since Jiang Yongnian's death, he has taken over the position of the National Teacher's Mansion to sacrifice wine, and now he is also in power, taking over the National Teacher's Mansion to help the prince balance the queen and the prince.

Xu Ziji is a young man, and he is also a student of the academy, he has been working in the National Teacher's Mansion since he left the academy five years ago, and now he has achieved the position of engagement, and it is not surprising that he will be the next candidate for sacrificial wine in the future.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yan Hui was silent for a moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to explain.

"After His Highness left Kyoto for Gusu City, a major event happened in the court. ”

Event?

Li Xiu's face did not fluctuate, he naturally knew that it must be a big deal, otherwise it would be impossible for the national teacher to find him, and it was impossible to send someone to wait in advance in front of Mo Hui Valley from thousands of miles away, and it was also the national teacher's mansion to sacrifice wine and come with these two people.

To some extent, the relationship between the national teacher and him is not good.

Yan Hui looked at Li Xiu and said, "The queen plans to open the Sky Locking Tower. ”

Li Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, and his face, which had been very calm all along, fluctuated for the first time.

"Sky Tower?"

These three words seemed to carry a magical power, and the three people in the carriage fell into a dead silence.

Li Xiu retracted his side-lying posture and sat up, gently leaned into the carriage and closed his eyes, and kept tapping the fingers of his right hand on the table top of the small table in the box.

It's like thinking about something.

Yan Hui didn't speak again, it was very simple to talk to smart people, and many times only one sentence was enough to explain everything.

The Locking Heaven Tower is equivalent to an unknowable place in the Tang Kingdom, and its mystery is almost comparable to that of the Lingyan Pavilion.

There are 19 steles in the tower of the sky, and the stele preserves the perception of the avenue of heaven and earth, and the people who enter the tower can intuitively perceive the meaning of the Tao.

It can be said that it is of great help and improvement to all the people under the Five Realms.

However, the amount of energy required to open the Tower of Locking Sky is huge, and if you use the numbers to describe it, the resources consumed are probably enough to sustain the supplies and needs of the Northland Frontier Army for three years.

But this is not important, the most important thing is that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Law clearly recorded that whether to open the Sky Lock Tower needs to be decided by the Tang Emperor himself.

Now that Emperor Tang is in retreat, if he has to open it, it should be Li Xianyi's decision, not her queen mother.

This is not in harmony with reason, and it is also inconsistent with etiquette.

But the key is that the queen mother has really opened the Sky Locking Tower, and has already made it public, calling on the monks below the five realms in the Tang Kingdom to go to have a look.

This is the most worthy of deep thought and consideration.

During these days, hundreds of officials of the imperial court kept running around trying to find out what was going on, and these days, the National Teacher's Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion, and even the thresholds of the East Palace and the Senate have been stepped down, and the already turbulent wind direction has become unpredictable again.

After thinking for a quarter of an hour, Li Xiufang reopened his eyes, looked at the two of them and asked: "If the queen insists on violating Tang law and doing this, it will undoubtedly give the prince the opportunity to beat his wings, but what I can't figure out is that the prince didn't do anything, and the tower was indeed opened." ”

His gaze swept over Yan Hui and Xu Ziji, and asked seriously, "Why?"

Yan Hui didn't speak this time, but his face was very ugly.

This time it was Xu Ziji, who had never intervened, who had never intervened, only to hear him sigh and say: "The queen took out Her Majesty's holy decree and allowed her to open the Locking Sky Tower with Jade Ruyi, and moreover, she also sealed the Second Mansion of Nanyue to fill the fief for King Wu. ”

Xu Ziji explained very clearly, Li Xiu leaned on the carriage and looked back and forth, without speaking.

The tower is just an introduction outside, and it is nothing to seal the fief, the Tang Kingdom is very large, even the three princes who were born to partial concubines and have not yet been crowned kings have been rewarded by His Majesty with the land of two states.

The important thing is that the queen can get the will of the Tang Emperor, Li Xiu returned to Beijing and stood on Li Xianyi's side, held the gate of the academy and Xiaonanqiao, and entered Gusu City alone to solve the hidden danger of the entire rivers and lakes becoming bigger, and uprooted the long forest.

But in the blink of an eye, Emperor Tang sealed Li Wenxuan and sent out Jade Ruyi.

That's the most unpredictable thing.

What exactly does he want to do?
