"Hidden tent" 86

Late at night, Kyoto, which has always been dark and dull, has a few slightly bright windows. The pool water that has been calm for five years suddenly threw a stone into it, and the splashing water is destined to make some people unable to sleep.

For example, Duke Li.

Over the past five years, he spared no effort to suppress the military generals, and successfully reduced the military power of all parties and returned to Emperor Xuanwu. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Xuanwu has a lot of dependence on the Li family.

But his spare no effort also offended military generals from all sides. Take the Lu family as an example. Who doesn’t know that the Li family and the Lu family are mortal enemies?

The Chinese civil officials and military generals in the court were each in the same faction. The Li family supported the fourth prince Zhao Huaimin, while the military general family was more inclined to the second prince Zhao Huaiyin, who was both civil and military.

When Zhao Huai-chan was demoted to Jiyang, many people jointly pleaded for mercy but failed. Over the years, those old ministers still mentioned the second prince on the saint, for fear that the saint would forget the second prince who was capable of literature and martial arts.

Now that Lu Jiuxiao is in power, he is undoubtedly adding bricks and tiles to the Lu family. It is inevitable that those military generals who have been silent for many years will be ready to move and have the idea of ​​letting Zhao Huaisheng return to Beijing again.

But once Zhao Huaifeng returns to Beijing...

A legitimate prince with outstanding abilities, an illegitimate son favored by the emperor...

Then what else is Zhao Huaimin?

But no matter who takes the position of crown prince in the end, as long as it is not Zhao Huaimin, the Li family will be completely finished!

Thinking of this, Duke Li held his palms tightly. He would never allow the fortress he had built with half his life to collapse like this!

Looking at the thick night, he finally put on his night clothes and walked away from the secret passage that entered the palace.

------------

Kunning Palace Sleeping Hall.

Queen Li stood up, "No!"

"Brother, now Lu Jiuxiao is in charge of soldiers, Zhuque Sect, and Yulin Guard are all his people. Are you sure?"

After all, Queen Li is a conservative, and she still wants Zhao Huaimin to be justified as the prince.

"Isn't this the result you wait? If you wait any longer, what's wrong with the Second Prince returning to Beijing? No matter who the position of the crown prince is, once Lu Jiuxiao is trusted by the Emperor, if the Ministry of War is moved, we will be completely done!"

Hearing this, the queen took a deep breath.

Ministry of War, Ministry of War...

The Li family has been using the Ministry of War for so many years, making privately constructing arms and selling neighboring countries, and privately creating military quotations and trading official titles. All of them are death rows.

Queen Li held her palms and said steadily: "I have already figured out a way to deal with it."

Duke Li frowned and looked at her.

Seeing the queen's eyes cold, she said word by word: "Brother, have you forgotten how the He family declined back then?"

"you mean……"

"Just use the same trick again."

"What if it doesn't work?"

Queen Li looked straight at Duke Li, "Then I'll listen to you."

------------

Time passed slowly, and it was August 31.

Lu Jiuxiao is busy all the time when he takes office. He Lin doesn't have to be wary of him coming to coax his girl again. He really doesn't have the skill.

For five consecutive days, Shen Shiqi's window was peaceful and there was no movement.

On that day, she gathered with people at the Zhuxin Teahouse on Ying'an Avenue. On the corridor, she could see the bustling streets at a glance. Shen Shiqi held her chin and looked down, listening to the girls talking.

She heard them talk about the latest gossip from the popular autumn clothing nowadays, and until the three words "Captain Lu" got into her ears, she was stunned and turned around.

Just listen to the noble girls saying:

"I followed my mother into the palace. When I saw Prince Lu at the Zhuque Gate, I believed that this was true."

"I heard that since Prince Lu took office, those little palace maids would roam around the palace if they had anything to do, and even asked the aunts in charge to pay their salaries."

"Puchi, it's true, I've heard of it too."

Chen Shifeng held up the teacup with a look of expressionless expression and took a sip of tea.

Another person heard him say, "You say, how could a man who was like lingering in the romantic occasions suddenly enter the court to seek a job?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yaozhi, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, said: "I heard from my brother that Prince Lu seems to have fallen in love with a girl."

Tang Yaozhi's brother is Tang Mian, and Tang Mian is a good friend of Lu Jiuxiao, so this "heard" seems very credible.

However, as soon as these words fell, sighs and coughs fell together.

"Cough cough cough cough—"

Chen Shifeng was suddenly choked with tea, covered her lips and coughed red eyes, Tang Yaozhi quickly patted her back, "Drink slowly - by the way, aren't you familiar with the Lu family? Do you know which girl is?"

Chen Shishi Ti shook his head repeatedly, "No, I haven't heard of it."

After saying that, she whispered: "And I am not familiar with Prince Lu."

The words were finished, and the small table suddenly silenced for a moment.

Chen Shishi paused and felt a breeze blowing behind her. She looked sideways and saw a dark red official robe skimming past her eyes. Behind him were seven or eight Yulin Guards, all of whom were wearing swords on their waists, which was really eye-catching.

She pinched the teacup's fingertips and subconsciously used strength.

After he entered the private room, the girls made some noises.

I have to admit that Lu Jiuxiao's scarlet official robe is really handsome, and he is already a person with sword-eyed eyebrows. He restrains the casual injustice in his usual eyes and can't help but his heart beats when he sees it.

Chen Shiqi heard the girls beside him discussing, buried his head and drank two more sips of tea. She thought to herself, did he hear what she said just now...

While thinking, the waiter brought the pot of water and painted the tea. When he picked up the pot and poured the tea, his hand shook suddenly. The mouth of the pot was tilted towards the Shen Shishi's clothes. A stream of tea rustled down, all falling on her newly made satin.

She exclaimed and stood up.

Tao Yin hurriedly wiped the tea stains on her skirt with a veil.

The waiter was so scared that he put down the teapot and apologized: "Girl, I'm sorry, sorry, look at my clumsy!"

Tao frowned and wanted to train someone. Chen Shizi pulled her elbow and shook her head. She had to say deflated: "There are still clean condoms on the carriage. I will use them to change them to the girl."

The waiter bowed repeatedly, "The little one leads the way for the girl."

After Tao Yin brought the clothes, Shen Shiqi followed the waiter to the private room at the end of the left.

As soon as she pushed the door, she saw a slender figure standing in front of the window. When she heard the movement, the man looked over and almost immediately. The girl understood the reason why she was so innocent that she was splashed with tea.

Lu Jiuxiao raised his chin and said, "Come here."

Chen Shishi bit his lip and walked forward a few steps: "Why is Prince Lu here?"

Listen to the three words "Crown Prince Lu", she became apart from him in just five days. I think this girl's heart is even more affectionate than a man.

He reached out and pinched the little girl's white cheeks, and a sarcasm emanated from the corner of his mouth, "I'm not here, some people should be unfamiliar with me."

Chen Shishi paused, and he heard it indeed.

"Cough." Chen Shizi coughed lightly, brushed away his hand, and looked at him resentfully, "Do you want to splash me with tea? I have only worn the newly made clothes..."

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her skirt and laughed, "I'll compensate you, can I pay you?"

Shen Shi Pink pursed his lips and refused to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, pinched her chin and met the little girl's eyes, "How did I mess with you?"

Seeing his faint black green at the moment, Shen Shifeng was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she remembered the little palace maids who were fined. She couldn't help but complain in her heart that he was attracting bees and butterflies everywhere. But when she saw his slightly tired face, she suddenly stopped and threw away all the inexplicable jealousy, raised her hand and touched him, and said:

"You, how many days have you not closed your eyes?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao lowered his head, reached out to wrap his hand around her waist, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm here to find you all the way, you are still not familiar with me, tsk."

God knows that Lu Jiuxiao had not closed his eyes for two days. A assassin appeared in the palace the night before. Emperor Xuanwu, the man who cherished his life, immediately ordered the strengthening of the palace garrison. He had to follow him. After finally grasping the assassin, he was able to get the post.

The dignified prince didn't even have time to return to his house to change his robe. In order to cover up, he also brought a group of colleagues.

You know, the little girl Guan has a soft heart. After hearing what he said, a deep sense of guilt came to her heart.

She put her hands on the man's chest and whispered: "Then you go back and rest quickly."

Looking at each other, Lu Jiuxiao saw the corner of her mouth from her eyebrows and eyes. He covered his hands on the little girl's neck and held her chin and kissed her.

Chen Shiqi closed his eyes immediately and asked him to kiss him twice.

When he was in the third move, the little girl pushed him away, hurriedly covered her lips and said, "Don't kiss."

Lu Jiuxiao was stunned by her, "What?"

"The fat will fall out, and they are still outside and will be discovered."

The man glanced at her speechlessly.

At this moment, two light knocks came from outside the door, and Tao Yin said, "Girl? Have you changed your clothes?"

Chen Shishibing suddenly straightened his back, "Now!"

She pushed the person in front of her, "You go out first, I'm going to change my clothes."
