When Li Hong and Yun Chu set off to Da Nei to attend the royal banquet, Guo Daifeng was already drunk. Li Hong sent someone to place Guo Daifeng in the East Palace. He didn't have a princess yet, so he could keep the foreigner.
Accommodation in East Palace.
Xiao Siye, the imperial guard of the East Palace, watched eagerly as the prince and Yun Chu rode to the Tai Chi Palace together, with a total of two hundred people guarding them.
Yun Chu also saw Xiao Siye.
Li Hong specifically pointed it out to him. He hoped to recruit him into the Prince's Sixth Rate at a suitable time.
Li Hong did not take the car. After hearing that Li Ji's car was blown up, Li Hong decided to give up driving.
"Master, the feeling of suspecting that there is a bomb underneath as soon as you get in the car is really terrible.
I was still young and it was such a shame to die without doing anything."
Yunchu looked at the people around Li Hong, then looked at their positions, and said to Li Hong, "Do you want to feel the feeling of being assassinated?"
Li Hong shook his head and said: "No, it's best that this never happens."
Yun Chu said: "Don't think that you are very safe if you have two hundred people around you to protect you. Don't think that you will be safe if you don't take a car in the future. Don't even think that you can protect your safety just by relying on others."
Li Hongdao: "But, I am the prince, so there is no need to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, right?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Do you know why my martial arts are so high?"
"I heard from Naha that it's because, master, you are extremely talented."
"Shit, I'm so talented. The reason why my martial arts skills are so high is entirely because I'm afraid of death.
When we were in the Western Region, Naha and I were helpless. We had to become stronger if we wanted to survive.
So I never miss an opportunity to become stronger, and I almost do anything to become stronger.
When I was weak, I couldn't defeat adults, so I used poison, then I took advantage of the terrain, and then I took advantage of agencies. Relying on force became my adult life.
So tell me now, how can a sheep not be eaten by a wolf?"
"Grind your horns sharply and make your limbs strong. If it doesn't work, just turn into a wolf. If it doesn't work, give the other sheep to the wolf to eat."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "You see, your current strength lies in your words, and you are not yet ready to implement them. Now that you have these ideas, you should try them when you have the chance to see which one has better effects."
Li Hong said with a smile: "If Chang'an County is now under the stewardship of the master, will the master be happy or unhappy?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I will be very happy."
"Father doesn't seem to like ambitious people very much."
"My ambition for the city of Chang'an has never changed. Your master, my ambition started in Chang'an and will also end in Chang'an.
Being ambitious is not necessarily a bad thing, but we need to put shackles on our ambitions. If there are no shackles on ambition, there will be a huge fire."
Li Hong nodded, this was the court banquet he needed, instead of listening to Guo Daifeng's aimless boasting.
There is only one wall between the East Palace and the Tai Chi Palace. A long time ago, Li Chengqian entered the Tai Chi Palace through this Changle Gate.
Unfortunately, he only came in, and then all his subordinates died here. Of the four thousand princes and six soldiers, not a single one survived. …
When entering Taiji Palace through Changle Gate, Yun Chu looked around at the terrain here, and then said to Li Hong: "This is a dead land."
Li Hong nodded but did not answer.
Tonight is a royal banquet. Yu Xiurong and Li Si were not invited originally. Later, for some reason, Yu Xiurong, Naha, and Li Si suddenly appeared on the banquet list.
Li Si's hair is sparse and her head is big. Some of the girl's decorations cannot be inserted into it. She originally wanted to give the child a wig, but Li Si didn't like it because it was stuffy, hot and uncomfortable after wearing it.
It was itchy, especially the large number of wigs in Yu Xiurong's hands, most of which were made of monkey hair, and Li Si couldn't wear them at all.
Tonight's occasion was different from the past. Li Si had to dress up in a noble manner so as not to attract ridicule from other royal women.
"No one dares to laugh at Sisi." Naha picked up a matchmaker, bit it lightly and said to Yu Xiurong.
Yu Xiurong raised his head and glanced at Naha who had just bitten the matchstick. He immediately grabbed her ears and wiped the color off her mouth with a handkerchief.
"You have the prettiest pink lips, why are you biting these things?" As Yu Xiurong spoke, she put a thick gold necklace on Naha's neck, and then put another one on Li Si.
.
Naha wanted to take off the gold necklace with the jade lock. She thought it was heavy, silly, and ugly.
She wants to wear the East China Sea beads string given by her brother.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiurong put two beaded flowers on her and Li Si's heads. Naha's was a peach blossom branch, and Li Si had a lotus flower on her head. This thing was so big that it could set off Li Si's big head.
It's smaller, and most importantly, it has a strap that can be tied to the chin.
After the two little girls put on their elegant and quiet skirts, three maids immediately came over to help Yu Xiurong arrange her bun.
This thing needs the help of wigs. After using a full two kilograms of wigs, Yu Xiurong's dangerous bun was ready.
Naha and Li Si were very envious of Yu Xiurong's makeup. It was really rich and colorful, not counting the two kilograms of wigs on her head, and she also had a golden step, a phoenix hairpin, a pearl flower, and a gold side on the back of her head.
fan screen.
After everything was packed up, the three people took the carriage of the Marquis Mansion and drove slowly to Tai Chi Palace amid the cries of the two children of the Yun family.
The lights in the Tai Chi Palace were brightly lit. Yun Chu followed Li Hong into the Tai Chi Palace and glanced casually, holding the horizontal knife on his waist, and found that the scene had calmed down.
Because in the entire hall, he was the only one fully armed, Yun Chu.
Li Hong, who was small in stature, stood in front of him, so Yunchu, wearing armor, looked extremely strong.
The emperor and the empress haven't come yet, so Li Hong is naturally the biggest here, but Li Hong doesn't seem to be in the mood to deal with the royal people here. He coughs softly and sits in the first position on the left hand side. Bai\./degrees\./
There were not many kings in the capital, and King Ji Li Shen was considered the most noble prince under Li Hong, so his position was under Li Hong.
Yun Chu did not see the deposed prince Li Zhong, and he probably would never see him again. The then-prominent King Yong was now the little-known Poyang King Li Sujie. He seemed to be in very bad health, and he coughed in a short period of time.
Several times. …
It seems that since the mother, Concubine Xiao Shu, died of illness, the son, Li Sujie, is also about to die of illness.
King Qi Li Shangjin was very sensible. When he saw the crown prince coming, he hurriedly left his seat and paid his respects to his younger brother Li Hong.
Li Hong also greeted Li Shangjin in a very graceful manner. After the two brothers said some words that even an outsider like Yunchu felt embarrassed, they returned to their seats.
Looking at Li Shangjin's back, Yunchu felt that he would never have the chance to deal with this person in the future.
Wu Mei had no good feelings for any son who was not born to her, and wished she could get rid of him as soon as possible.
Yun Chu took another look at the Li clan members present. He still felt that there was no need to deal with these people. Wu Mei would clean up the people in this hall in the future anyway.
When Xue Rengui and other ten warriors entered the Tai Chi Palace wearing armor, the hall became extremely quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
Yun Chu keenly discovered that some people still started to cry, but they didn't dare to make a sound, they just cried silently, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
More people's bodies were shaking like chaff.
Therefore, being a member of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty is really not an enviable thing. During the two years of the army's expedition to Liaodong, Wu Mei led Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong did many things, among which the most important thing was to rebuild
The Li family genealogy was revised and the family tree of Yuangui was re-entered.
During the process of revising the Li family tree, many royal family members disappeared from the genealogy. When the family tree was re-entered into the family tree, many nobles also disappeared from it.
It's not just the names that have disappeared, for those who are unlucky, even the physical bodies have also disappeared.
As the golden bell on the table rang, Li Zhi entered the Tai Chi Palace surrounded by palace officials and eunuchs.
Li Zhi, who had just sat down, naturally looked at the first position on his right hand. That position was originally untouchable by Changsun Wuji. Today, sitting in that seat was Sun Chong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Prince Consort.
"Is uncle feeling ill?"
Changsun Chong quickly raised his kneeling buttocks, cupped his hands and said: "I felt cold the day before yesterday, and this morning my body felt chilly. I originally wanted to come to Tai Chi Palace to talk about family ties with His Majesty, but unexpectedly, I felt heavy and fainted in the afternoon.
I am sleepy, so in order not to bring my illness to Your Majesty, I sent a few ministers to accept Your Majesty's kindness."
Li Zhi raised his hand and said: "Come here, please order the Imperial Medical Office to go to my uncle's house to inquire about the illness. If necessary, the palace medicine storehouse will be used."
Changsun Chong bowed his hands and thanked him, then knelt down and sat on the first position on his right hand again, with his head lowered and nothing unusual could be seen.
Li Zhi then said to the eleven generals surrounding the Taiji Hall who were wearing armor and guarding: "I call you all to come here just for precaution, not for guarding. Come here, let me show you your seats.
"
Immediately, the palace eunuchs brought eleven sets of tables and chairs and placed them behind the royal family's seats. Because they were all wearing armor and stomach, it was not easy to kneel down, so they sat in the back and looked down at these people who were pretending to smile. Royal relatives.
Eleven warriors are eleven bloodthirsty tigers. When these people sit in their positions and place the swords at their waists on the table, ready to explode at any time, the timid among the royal family will be even more shocked. The face is earthy.
In front of Yun Chu is Prince Li Hong, and the distance between them is only one foot. If there is a change, Yun Chu is very confident that Li Hong will be placed within his protective circle.
Yunchu had seen a copycat painting called "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" before. The night banquet in that painting was obviously different from today's high-level night banquet.
One is indulging in joy, the other is terrified.
It's a pity that Yan Liben can't be seen in tonight's scene. If he were here, he should be able to draw a better picture of the night banquet.
