Two months later, Chang'an.

Before the Chinese New Year, His Majesty returned to Chang'an City. The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in Chang'an City was already very strong. Speaking of which, the years passed quickly, and the 32nd year of Daning Tiancheng was about to usher in.

East Warm Pavilion.

The emperor looked at the memorials piled up everywhere and sighed slightly, looking at the two men huddled on the chairs of the East Warehouse Pavilion, feeling helpless: "You two look really like you now."

One is the old dean and the other is Zhuang Yong.

One is really old, the other is weak.

The two of them curled up on the sofa and guarded the stove, which was indeed somewhat similar, so they both laughed after looking at each other.

"Your Majesty, please review the memorials. If you pile them up, you will be piled outside the East Warehouse."

The old dean said, "I'm not afraid of anything else, I just have too many piles of them and I can't close the door. I'll be a little cold."

The emperor glanced at him: "Sir, you are so good at talking. Why do I think you are not here to accompany me now, but to be greedy for the stove in my Donghunting Pavilion to be better than your home and more powerful than your home. The sir does not feel sorry for me whether I have worked hard or not. I said I will freeze you... I will turn around and let you go to another place to do business."

The old dean said: "That's right, it's not impossible."

The old dean dares to say this.

The emperor glanced at him again: "If it weren't for your family's lack of money and you were so old, I felt that there was no money to search the house, so I would be punished for treason."

The old dean laughed and said, "Your Majesty can reward the old minister with great enthusiasm. When the old minister is fat, he will come to search the house."

Emperor: "Do you think I am stupid? Why do you have to do this for nothing... Besides, I gave you a pair of jade pots to Mr. Meng Chang'an and Shen Leng one by one. Last time I gave you some Western Regions things to Mr. last time, did you give me some gifts to Mr. Meng Chang'an's wife and Cha'er?"

The emperor snorted: "What I gave to you, Mr. I did a favor."

The old dean sighed: "Send Meng Chang'an... After all, he is the old minister's favorite student. He mainly gave Shen Leng's share because he was shameless. Princess Cha'er always cried poorly in the old minister, saying that Your Majesty's deduction of their family's salary was too cruel. When he saw Your Majesty's reward, he was sad... "

The emperor laughed: "Oh... Otherwise, I would think of some way to confiscate the things you gave to Shen Leng. I should have a surprise of losing and regaining it."

As he was speaking, Dai Fangzhou walked in from outside quickly, holding a memorial in both hands: "Your Majesty, this is a war report sent from the northern border. I was originally sent to Taishan. I knew that Your Majesty returned to Chang'an and sent it in a hurry."

The emperor nodded: "It should be a good news."

He smiled and opened the battle report, and his face changed after a few glances.

The old dean and Zhuang Yong stood up at the same time when they saw His Majesty's face change. The emperor's eyes slowly left the battle report. After a moment of silence, they handed the battle report to the old dean: "Li Xiaoshan...is there any war."

The old dean's hand that went to receive the battle report trembled in the air, and his face turned pale in an instant.

He looked down at the battle report: "This matter... let's put aside first."

Then leaned over: "Your Majesty."

The emperor turned his back to the old dean, and his shoulders seemed to tremble slightly.

"That's...my nephew."

After a while, the emperor said, "Dai Fangzhou, ask who knows where King Xin is? I... ask him to go back to Chang'an."

Dai Fangzhou responded at the door: "I will send someone to investigate now."

The emperor fell silent again, and after a while, he said: "There has been no news for a long time. Princess Xin was seriously injured when she was ambushed in a farm in the suburbs of Beijing last time. Her body was getting worse and worse. Princess Xin took her around to seek medical treatment and medicine. I specifically instructed the people of the Shen family to see it. After seeing it, the people of the Shen family said that there was no good way. They could only try to replenish Princess Xin's body and drag it for a while."

The emperor closed his eyes: "I don't know how to tell them to the couple."

Zhuang Yong didn't know what happened in the farm in the suburbs of Beijing at that time, so he subconsciously glanced at the old president. The old president explained: "King Xin and King Lu encountered an ambush in the farm in the suburbs of Beijing. King Lu... was assassinated. King Xin was seriously injured. Before he recovered, he began to take Princess Xin to seek medical treatment. His Majesty had sent people from the Imperial Hospital for consultation many times. The conclusion was that King Xin could send Princess Xin to a warm place in the south, or the reliable climate would gradually improve the princess' internal injuries."

Zhuang Yong felt a little nervous.

The two princes were attacked at the same time, and King Lu was still dead.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to find the whereabouts of King Xin."

The old dean said: "If you really go to the south, the place is too big. Even if there are clues to be found along the way, it is not easy to find people. Maybe you will have to find them for one year or two years..."

He asked tentatively: "Don't let the news of the loss of Prince Xin Li Xiaoshan fight? "

The emperor was silent for a moment and shook his head: "My nephew fought for Daning. Can't I let the world know?"

The old dean opened his mouth and said nothing.

That was the only royal family member who died in northern Xinjiang in a hundred years. The people of Daning should know and must know.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi-do.

There is a particularly simple tea room next to the official road, with only three thatched huts. In addition to selling some rough tea to passers-by, the shopkeeper's couple can also make some simple meals. The ones they buy are not affordable, and the amount is large and affordable, so the business is pretty good.

There are still wind and snow in Gyeonggi Province today, so there are no pedestrians on the official road. The tea room on the side of the road seems a little lonely. There is no one doing business for more than ten or twenty miles away, and it looks even more depressed in winter.

Fortunately, this tea room is not without business. The copper pot on the table is steaming, and the table is full of meat. After all, it is much more difficult to find some fresh vegetables in this cold winter than to find meat.

The shopkeeper's couple took ten taels of silver and went home. There were only two people sitting opposite each other in the tea room. Outside the tea room, there were some guards from the rivers and lakes, and there were people a few miles away.

The owner of the co-climbing meeting stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some meat from the copper pot, put it in the dipping dish and dipped it back and forth. He seemed to be very satisfied with the taste of these mutton. After all, it was just killed, it was very fresh and the taste was very positive.

"How about it?"

He asked.

Li Changze, who was sitting opposite him, smiled: "You don't know, what else can you do? My plays are so exciting. It depends on who has flaws. But after looking at it, he doesn't have them, and I don't have them, so it's perfect. Both of them think they are very successful."

The owner laughed: "The two foxes deceived each other and thought they had succeeded."

"I really succeeded, he wasn't."

Li Changze took a sip of wine and glanced outside: "I ask the two people from the Tingwei Mansion to buy things. They can come back as soon as possible, so I have to go back within half an hour. Say what you have to do as soon as possible."

"Nothing big."

The boss said: "I just want to ask Dou Huainan about his situation."

Li Changze said: "My father thought that such small tricks could be hidden from me... Speaking of small tricks, he was far worse than my mother. He first suppressed Dou Huainan by suppressing Chen Leng, and Dou Huainan also cooperated and scolded the emperor in Weiyang Palace. Hehe... So it was natural for the emperor to demote him, and then threw him back to Gyeonggi Province. Some fake smart people would think, Your Majesty is afraid that he would use someone else's hand to get rid of Dou Huainan."

"But my father recalled me from the northwest and was still in Gyeonggi Province. Those fake smart people would think about it. Maybe my father wanted to see what the reactions of all parties were. In fact, he just wanted me to contact Dou Huainan. Two people who were both frustrated were the original crown prince, and the other was the important minister who had hoped to become the chief minister of the cabinet. How perfect?"

"My father hopes that I can contact Dou Huainan and hope that Dou Huainan can gain my trust, so I will follow his wishes."

Li Changze finished drinking the wine in the cup and looked at the boiling soup in the pot: "Why do you love eating this thing so much?"

The owner shrugged: "Winter is the time to eat this, and what's wrong with me? It's better than those who eat grass."

Li Changze smiled: "People who love to eat meat should not be too greedy."

The owner narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"

Li Changze quickly shook his head: "I don't mean anything, I'm sorry, I mean you are no longer young, it's not good to eat too much meat, you have to eat meat and vegetables on weekdays."

The boss smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will die in front of you, or are you afraid that I will die behind you?"

"Why do we die?"

Li Changze said: "We are people with the same goal."

The owner said: "Our goals are different."

He leaned back: "You want to be the emperor, but I don't."

Li Changze said: "So I have always been curious about why you are planning these things? Is it just for me? Fourth uncle, you also have a son. Xiaoshan is still in the northern border. It is said that he is already a third-rank general. He has great potential and has a bright future."

The owner said, "If you believe in me, then you will continue to cooperate in the future. If you don't believe in me, you can continue to plan yourself."

He stretched out his chopsticks to continue picking up the meat and still ate it with relish. He seemed to really love the taste of this shabu shabu.

"You eat meat."

Li Changze said: "Uncle Fourth, you know that no one can rely on me except you. I know that Uncle Third had a relationship with the co-city meeting back then, but Uncle Third was too small to do it. His son was put on the fire. He really didn't care about his son? Mu Zhaotong took Xiaoran to Chang'an and was blocked when he arrived at the city gate. Before that, Uncle Fourth was probably excited."

He smiled and said, "Uncle Fourth secretly connected with the major families to reorganize and hold a meeting together to help his son. As a result, he hid too deeply. His son didn't believe him, and he killed himself again."

Bang!

Li Changze was slapped in the face, very loudly.

The proprietor took back his hand, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands: "You should be in awe. That's your fourth uncle. Even if you are still a prince or a prince, you should be in awe. He has gone, so you should be respectful when you speak."

Li Changze stood there, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head: "My nephew remembers it."

"very good."

The boss stood up: "Dou Huainan must make good use of it. We cannot make His Majesty's judgment make mistakes. He can, because His Majesty believes in him, so if you make good use of Dou Huainan, things will become simple."

"It's time for you to go back."

He pointed outside the door: "Remember to buy a pot of wine on the way back, otherwise the smell of wine on your body would be unexplained."

Li Changze also stood up and leaned over and bowed: "Okay, Fourth Uncle, see you again."

"You have to grow more."

After Li Changze turned around, he heard a sound coming from behind him.

"If you are so superficial, so mean, and so ignorant, I will really help my son instead of you. You ask me why... My brother died tragically on the farm, my wife was seriously injured, my son was taken away, my wife became a laughing stock, my daughter was not dead but crazy..."
