Almost at the same time that Mingzhu came out of the house, another young prince of the Tang Dynasty also walked out of the Daming Palace, meandering along Chang'an Street with a few entourages.
He is Li Chengqi, Prince of Shouchun County - Li Dan's eldest son, Li Longji's brother, the famous Emperor Rang in history! Of course, he is not the Emperor Rang yet, but just one of the many princes in the Li Dynasty.
For historians and writers, Li Chengqi is a character worthy of study and description, because there are too many doubts and puzzles about him. It can be said that Li Chengqi is a mystery!
Li Chengqi was born in 678 AD. In that era where direct descendants and eldest sons were valued, as the eldest son of Li Dan, his identity was naturally unique. Therefore, as soon as he was born, he was named the Prince of Yongping County by Queen Zetian. In 693, he was named the Prince of Yongping County.
He was named the Prince of Shouchun County. Later he entered the court and participated in political affairs, reaching the rank of doctor. In 705, his imperial uncle, Emperor Zhongzong, wanted to make him King Cai, but he refused. The reason was that he was not interested in Shouchun.
I have a deep feeling for the title of Prince Chun, and I can’t bear to give it up!
Because he had feelings for a lower-ranking county king instead of becoming a higher-ranking prince, Li Chengqi could be regarded as the first person in history. He found a seemingly absurd reason to refuse the emperor's reward.
, but the emperor couldn't find any fault with it. This incident alone is enough to prove that Li Chengqi is a very wise and secretive person!
The reason why he was so cautious and cryptic was because of one reason - his father had once been the emperor, and he had been the prince. People like their father and son could easily arouse the suspicion and alertness of those in power.
And everyone knows that when this kind of suspicion and wariness accumulate to a certain limit, there is only one outcome - death! And it must be the death of their father and son!
Therefore, it was in such a dangerous environment that Li Chengqi developed his hidden skills.
It is precisely because of his obscurity that although Li Chengqi has a special status, outstanding style, and talents, and comes in and out of the court every day, he does not arouse people's wariness and hatred too much. Moreover, people still like him very much, because
He has a peaceful temperament and an open mind, so people without ambition are willing to be friends with him, while people with ambition want to recruit him as a helper. In a word, Li Chengqi successfully deceived everyone.
After the court today, Empress Wei called him into the harem and gave him a cloak. The thin plain cloak was sewn with several pieces of crystal jasper, which was priceless. You gave him a gift and you dare not refuse it, so
Li Chengqi immediately put the cloak on his body, thanked Empress Wei, and left the palace.
The spring scenery outside was just right, which cheered up Li Chengqi, who had just been feeling depressed in the inner courtyard of the palace. When the mood came, he was not in a hurry to return home, and decided to walk around the streets to enjoy this precious spring scenery.
Mingzhu held the package containing the mask in her hand, facing the bright sunshine all the way, wandering on the street, without feeling at all that since she left the house, several pairs of eyes were staring at her!
It turns out that Anle has sent his slaves to keep an eye on the Fang family, asking them to look for opportunities to destroy the Fang family. It is best to set a fire. These slaves are also used to bullying their neighbors for Anle.
Therefore, I also have a lot of experience, so I thought of catching a servant of the Fang family and beating him up severely, and then interrogating the details of the house, so as to decide on the specific plan of the murder. By coincidence, they had just arrived at the Fang family.
In front of the door, I saw a teenage girl jumping out of the house.
Judging from the girl's dress, she must be a maid or something like that, just in line with their requirements. Therefore, several domestic slaves looked at each other and followed them understandingly, just waiting for Mingzhu to go to a more secluded place.
When the time comes, arrest people!
Unfortunately, they only found out after following her for a long time that this girl would infiltrate wherever the excitement was. If they continued to follow her, they might not be able to wait for a suitable opportunity to commit murder for a whole day.
If you have a chance, you have to go, if you don't have a chance to create an opportunity, you have to go! Obviously, these slaves of Princess Anle's Mansion meet this requirement. They really don't have the patience to follow any longer, and they see an opportunity and rush in suddenly
He went up and surrounded Fang Mingzhu with a roar!
And as they surrounded Mingzhu, the people within a ten-square-meter radius around Mingzhu immediately dispersed. These slaves really created an opportunity.
Fang Mingzhu was having fun when she was suddenly surrounded by people. After she was stunned for a moment, she immediately found her state - she had been with Yan in her previous life and had encountered such things many times. She was rich in experience, so
Mingzhu did not panic, but asked seriously:
"Whose subordinates are you?"
The leader of the house slave was also a little confused:
‘Why does this girl sound like she’s been caught every now and then? What’s her background?’
Mingzhu patiently waited for the answer. The slave had never seen someone like her before and was a little at a loss. The two parties were in a stalemate for a while.
They only looked at each other, but neither of them noticed that among the crowd of people watching from a distance, there stood a tall and handsome young man - Prince Shouchun!
Of course, Li Chengqi didn't know Fang Mingzhu. He recognized these subordinates of Princess Anle. One look at the posture of these slaves and he knew that they were preparing to do evil again. Although Li Chengqi didn't like to meddle in other people's business, he couldn't just do it.
Seeing An Le ruining the reputation of the Li family's royal family, he secretly signaled to his followers that no matter what these minions were doing, they would secretly intervene to prevent them from succeeding.
When Li Chengqi discovered that several slaves were besieging a humble maid, he was also puzzled. He didn't understand why Anle's men had trouble with such a little girl. However, the little girl's subsequent behavior aroused his great concern.
He was very interested. So, he decided to watch the play seriously.
Mingzhu finally waited for trouble:
"Hey, what am I asking you? Whose subordinates are you? Tell me quickly!" Mingzhu felt it was necessary to find out who their boss was, and then called him to communicate - the subordinate he used was so
Being stupid, doesn't this show how ugly the Mafia is? Let outsiders misunderstand that the Mafia is all idiots.
Fortunately, Mingzhu quickly figured out that this was not Italy, so there was no mafia or underworld.
The end of understanding is confusion - I haven't caused any trouble in the Tang Dynasty yet? But who is coming to trouble me? Do they want to rob me of wealth or sex?
