Ma Gonggong's face was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, this is the symptom of the "Xuanyin Sword Qi" entering the body, as a great master of the Heavenly and Human Realm, of course, he will not be helpless, but he needs time, rely on meditation and pranayama, slowly dissolve it, or force it out of the body. At this time, will Li Xuan give him time?

Even if he can return to his heyday, Li Xuandu's nickname on the rivers and lakes is "Zifu Sword Immortal", the key is the word "sword", he has not even forced out Li Xuandu's "human world", how can he win?

Li Xuandu said: "Again and again, no more than three, two shots, are you too unconcerned about my words?"

The breath suddenly froze.

Except for Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning, including Gonggong Ma and Prince Yan Wang, everyone felt that they had reached a critical moment, and every life and death was in the thought of this Purple Mansion Sword Immortal.

If it was Li Xuandu two years ago, these people would naturally be certain to die, and they didn't even have the first two chances, but now Li Xuandu adheres to the self-discipline rule of "if you can't kill people, don't kill people", and didn't rush to kill the killer.

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment, which can also be regarded as waiting for a moment, as if he was waiting for someone.

Sure enough, after a while, a woman's voice came: "Stop." ”

Li Xuandu turned his head to look, and a woman walked slowly, looking like she was about to be confused, with a beautiful appearance, graceful bearing, a slight frown, a little vermilion tear mole under the left eye, a little melancholy on her face, and she was dressed as a female crown.

When Li Xuandu saw this person, he immediately showed a little reminiscence, some emotion, a little suddenness, and finally turned into a sigh.

Zhou Shuning saw Li Xuandu's appearance, and secretly wondered in her heart: "Could it be a confidante of my brother again?" But it seems that he is older, so he shouldn't be." Could it be my brother's sister who has been missing for many years? No, my brother said that he was lonely since he was a child, and he had no parents or family. It will not be the woman who haunted my brother when he was young, counting, when my brother was thirteen or fourteen years old, this woman was still in her prime. ”

Just when Zhou Shuning was thinking wildly, he heard Li Xuandu say: "It turns out that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived." ”

At the same time, many of the servants in the hall had already knelt on the ground and saluted, even the Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal Ma Gonggong, although his waist was straight, but his head was lowered. The trapped prince of Yan Wang kept struggling, and the gagged mouth made a "whining" sound.

Since the death of the four ministers, the clan has broken the iron law of not participating in politics, among which the King of Jin is the leader, followed by the King of Yan and the King of Tang, in addition to these three princes, there is also a female royal member, that is, the sister of Emperor Muzong, the eldest princess Xuanzhen.

According to the Great Wei legal system, the emperor's daughter is called "princess", the emperor's sisters are called "eldest princess", and the emperor's aunt is called "eldest princess". Now that the emperor is Emperor Tianbao, the eldest princess of Xuanzhen will naturally become the eldest princess of Xuanzhen.

Speaking of this eldest princess, she is also a legendary figure, the youngest sister of Emperor Mu Zong, and the most favored by Emperor Mu Zong. Later, Emperor Muzong married the eldest princess Xuanzhen to the son of Liang Guogong, the ancestor of Liang Guogong once married a princess, at this time it was the second princess to marry, which was also a good story at the time, but unfortunately the life of the small prince was not good, and he died after half a year of marriage.

In today's world, some dignitaries are reluctant to marry, or want more of their own, so they will choose to become a female crown, and can freely receive male guests, or use the identity of the female crown to avoid marriage, hide for a year and a half, and then choose a new mate. The eldest princess of Xuanzhen took this road, so she was dressed as a female crown, and after Emperor Muzong agreed, she was given the name "Yuying", so she can be called Master Yuying, and Zhang Jingshen's magician has the same effect, and is second only to the title of real person.

After the death of Emperor Muzong, the court became the sole power of the four ministers. After the suppression of eunuchs by the Sejong Dynasty, and the importance of the Muzong Dynasty to the civil officials, coupled with the losses of the military attache of the Yingzong Dynasty in several wars with the Golden Horde, the civil official group at this time has reached its peak. Zhang Suqing, as the head of civil officials and the teacher of the emperor, coupled with the young age of the little emperor, already has a bit of the meaning of the reality of the monarch, and some people even say that Zhang Suqing is "not a real person", which means that he is not the prime minister, but the regent.

The Empress Dowager Xie Pheasant felt that one person was powerless to resist the four ministers, so she began to win over the clan, including the eldest princess Xuanzhen, but unlike the radicalism of the King of Jin, as well as the moderation of the other two princes, the eldest princess Xuanzhen played the role of an intermediary between the queen mother and the four ministers. Although the plan of the eldest princess Xuanzhen failed due to the implementation of Zhang Suqing's new policy, the successive intervention of local heroes such as Zhengyizong and Qingweizong, and the promotion of the local master Xu Wugui, it finally failed, but whether it is the current civil leader Sun Songchan or the empress dowager Xie Pheasant, they still regard the eldest princess as an indispensable intermediary role, and the eldest princess Xuanzhen was able to participate in political affairs because of this, which is the peak of the power of Princess Xuanzhen.

Nowadays, there is a saying in the imperial court that the imperial party is dominated by civil officials and the later party is dominated by clans. In the final analysis, it is precisely because the emperor is young and has never been in charge of the government that the queen mother and the clan are given space to take power, and the kings naturally favor the queen mother for the power in their hands. The civil officials repeatedly asked the emperor to govern in person, and it was precisely because the Great Wei was originally a clan and the emperor ruled the world with hundreds of officials, at most plus eunuchs, so the civil officials wanted to drive the clan out of the center of the temple. This is also the key to the dispute between the two sides over authority. Once you have tasted the taste of power, it is difficult to let go, King Jin and others have tasted the taste of power, where are they willing to let go, it is not that they have not thought about collecting all the authority, setting up a cabinet composed of clans, but at this time the governors of various places have been like a part, Jiangnan Haoqiang headed by Zhengyizong is worried about the change of the last imperial capital, and Liaodong Haoqiang led by the Tianzong and the Qin family are eyeing each other, if the imperial capital changes, you can immediately enter the side of King Qingjun of Jingqin, and the king of Jin and others do not dare to move.

In this case, the eldest princess Xuanzhen is particularly important, both sides need such an intermediary to mediate, the eldest princess Xuanzhen is the best choice, from the point of view, she belongs to the clan, from the standpoint, she is neither the queen party, nor the imperial party.

The reason why Li Xuandu met this eldest princess Xuanzhen can be traced back to the first year of Tianbao, when he first met Zhang Baigui and Zhang Baiyue, and came to the imperial capital. At that time, the eldest princess Xuanzhen had already gone out of the mountain to participate in politics at the invitation of Xie Pheasant, and there were many guests under her command, among which there was a swordsman who was not satisfied with Li Xuandu's fame and fought with Li Xuandu, but the result was a fiasco, and Li Xuandu, who had a good temperament at that time, directly cut off her wrist, which led to the eldest princess Xuanzhen.

At that time, the eldest princess Xuanzhen had a bad impression of Li Xuandu, thinking that this young man was certainly amazing, but he was too sharp and would not know how to converge, and sooner or later he would be too rigid and easy to break. She once wanted to use the power in her hands to punish Li Xuandu slightly, not only to ask for an explanation for her subordinates, but also to teach Li Xuandu a lesson and let him restrain him a little. However, Zhang Baiyue, as Zhang Suqing's daughter, had a very good relationship with the eldest princess Xuanzhen at that time, and it was a pair of year-old friends, the eldest princess Xuanzhen had no children and no daughters under her knees, and regarded Zhang Baiyue as half a daughter, so under Zhang Baiyue's middle Kan Xuan, Li Xuandu and the eldest princess Xuanzhen let go of their prejudices and turned hostility into friendship.

Seeing the old man, Li Xuandu also had mixed feelings, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Since Tianbao said goodbye in the second year, it has been five years in a hurry, like a white horse passing through a gap, I don't know how the eldest princess is doing recently?"
