The prince was sitting in the imperial chariot, and Li Yan was walking beside him. The two were discussing the case in Liangzhou.
The prince listened silently at first, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Where are those noble ladies of Subi placed?"
Li Yan said: "Together with Jia Sibo and other secret spies, we have arrived in Qizhou."
The prince said: "Treat them well. There are internal conflicts in Tubo. If necessary, we can start from within."
He looked solemn: "The female spy named Liniang can turn a Khitan fugitive into a guest of a high-ranking nobleman in just two years, which is worthy of vigilance."
"Tubo Qinling originally made peace with General Xue, and now that Zeng Gu died in Liangzhou, the news spread back to the country, and there must have been a lot of criticism against us in the Tang Dynasty. The Gar family who took the lead in the war benefited, and they had an excuse to send troops again.
"
"We must also pay attention to the trends of the countries in the Western Region. The four towns of Anxi are no longer there, and the trade routes in the Western Region are not smooth. It is inevitable that the countries in the Western Region will have a disobedient heart. Ahem..."
Having said this, the prince couldn't help but cough.
Li Yan said: "Your Highness, take care of yourself."
The prince took a breath and asked again: "How much has the market price in Liangzhou increased since the Dafei Sichuan War?"
Li Yan thought of the price quoted to him by Zhang Huan, and immediately said: "Here in Liangzhou, 1 cent can buy 2 eggs, 5 cents per liter of vinegar, 11 cents per bucket of rice, and 40 cents per chicken.
, 50 cents for a pound of salt, 600 cents for a pig, and later they all went up by three or four cents..."
The prince sighed: "Three or four points, it's not easy for the people. This is still Liangzhou, the land of Longyou. How will the harvest be this year?"
Li Yan passed through various states along the way and had some knowledge of the local area. He shook his head slightly: "The harvest is not good."
"Guanzhong has not been doing well in recent years..."
The prince shook his head, showing a worried look, and turned back to the situation in Liangzhou: "In the past, the An family destroyed Liang, and the Tubo people helped a lot. If the An family is slandered this time, and the Tubo people take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, Liangzhou will be hit hard.
It even affected the entire Longyou... Ahem... Fortunately, Li Wuwei..."
Seeing that he was out of breath, Li Yan hurriedly said: "I don't dare to praise His Highness. Your Highness, take care of yourself."
The prince waved his hand gently: "It doesn't matter... What Jia Sibo did was not only to cause trouble in Liangzhou, but also to target the internal guards. This move must have someone from the court as an internal reaction. We must find this person..."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he leaned on the back chair of the imperial chariot and began to rest.
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and thought a little.
As expected of Li Hong, who had been imprisoned six times in ten years since he was nine years old, he is very capable.
As for the name Li Hong, later generations didn't think much of it. At most, they thought the word "Hong" was good, but it was a big deal in this era.
It caters to a Taoist prophecy, which is called "The old man should rule, and Li Hong should come out."
If Taishang Laojun comes to the mortal world, the world will usher in peace, and Laojun will change his name to Li Hong and rule the world.
Therefore, when there is a rebellion among the people, some leaders will call themselves Li Hong to ride on the traffic of Taoism and attract the surrender of the people.
Considering that when Wu Ze was born to Li Hong, she was still Wu Zhaoyi. Not to mention Queen Wang, even Concubine Xiao Shu was more powerful than her. If she dared to name her eldest son this name, it can be said that she was good at taking advantage of the situation and ambitious.
My son will become an emperor in the future and create a peaceful and prosperous era!
Of course, this may also be because Empress Wang was infertile and Li Zhi, who had never had a legitimate son, had the idea of making Wu Mei his queen, so he named his son this name and placed high hopes on it.
"What a pity. Li Hong's body is the same as Li Zhi's, and it's even worse..."
Li Yan secretly shook his head.
It is said that Li Hong was seriously ill when he was young and suffered from tuberculosis and tuberculosis.
This disease was a terminal illness in ancient times and could not be cured. It would only continuously wear down the body and eventually cough up blood and die.
If Li Hong really had this disease when he was a child, he would have been reincarnated as a commoner. In other words, as a prince, he could only live to this day because of the continuous treatment by imperial doctors with medicine.
It's just that the bones in this body are too weak. It's hard to maintain the strength to speak. Isn't the constitution only 1 point?
After the prince fell silent, the group did not go outside the palace, but came to the Shaoyang Courtyard of the Daming Palace.
The East Palace of the princes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was originally located to the east of Taiji Palace and built against the east wall of the palace city.
But the previous owners of this palace, Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Li Jiancheng, and Li Chengqian, did not end well.
Because it was so unlucky and the new Daming Palace was built, Prince Li Hong moved to the Shaoyang Courtyard inside the Daming Palace eight years ago.
There were also built here the outer court for the prince to handle government affairs, and the inner palace for his residence, which is equivalent to the new East Palace.
It is not a common practice now. Historically, after Li Hong died, Li Xian became the prince and moved back to the old East Palace. Then everyone knew what happened to Li Xian, so the prince later lived in Shaoyang Courtyard, and became the
Convention.
At this time, everyone came to the outer area where the candles were brightly lit. The prince bowed his head and got out of the imperial chariot and walked down.
Li Yan saw him trembling and subconsciously wanted to step forward and help him.
The prince declined politely: "Li Wuwei, my disease can be passed from person to person. Even if you are in good health, you still need to pay attention..."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Li Yan smiled slightly, gently held the other person's back, and sent out a gentle wave of strength from his palm.
His Dan Yuan Jin is a Taoist secret that can regulate the spirit and stimulate the body's self-healing function.
The prince felt a gentle force pouring into his body, and he was refreshed: "Li Wuwei has obtained the true biography of Taoism?"
Li Yan was a little surprised: "Your Highness has a sharp eye!"
The prince smiled and said: "Strength is not consumed internally, and Qi is not released outward. Li Wuwei's skill is so profound."
As he spoke, he sighed with a very regretful expression: "I also wanted to practice this true strength when I was young, but unfortunately my body was too weak. I can only hope that my mind will be peaceful and I will not be stained by external flaws."
In order to raise his status, Li Yuan insisted that after Li Er, Taoism became the state religion, and the prince did not need to use force. It was indeed a good choice to practice Taoist Dan Yuan Jin.
It's a pity that Dan Yuan Jin requires a pure mind and the elimination of distracting thoughts in the mind. Most of the royal family's minds are too complicated and they cannot practice it.
Li Hong's state of mind meets the needs of Dan Yuan Jin, but his body is not up to standard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yan let go of his hand, the prince cheered up and came to sit down in the main hall of the outer court.
After Li Yan took his seat, he found that the chamberlain beside the prince actually stood quite far away under his arrangement, and he actually had a good impression of the sick man.
There are very few people who can sympathize with their subordinates these days. Many members of high-ranking gentry families do not consider their subordinates as human beings. There are only a few like An Zhongjing, so Li Yan is willing to be friends with him.
In comparison, the prince's kindness is naturally more rare. Li Zhi and Empress Wu probably knew their son's temperament, so they ignored him first and let the prince gain their loyalty.
It is impossible to be loyal to Li Yan. Even if he gradually integrates into the times, his greatest identification is with the country of Datang, not a certain person.
But looking at the prince at this moment, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh a little.
The emperor and the prince are somewhat naturally opposed to each other. Many emperors are jealous of the prince and are afraid that the prince will seize the throne. Not to mention Li Longji, who later killed three sons in one day, and became crazy.
However, Li Zhi and Empress Wu had such a strong desire for power, but they were very relieved about the prince, precisely because Li Hong was too sick and weak.
It can only be said that fate plays a trick on people.
Li Yan was thinking about the rivalry between the two most powerful men in the world, and the prince ordered: "Go and tidy up the side hall, Li Wuwei, it's late at night, you can stay in the palace tonight!"
Li Yan was very happy: "Thank you, Your Highness."
After entering the palace and being labeled as a princeling, Li Yan was heartbroken.
But on the first day after entering Chang'an, he stayed in the side hall of the Prince's Palace and spread the word, and his reputation in Chang'an rose.
The effect is more direct than Liangzhou's victory over the Tubo Polo Team.
Compared with the so-called political alignment, he pays more attention to the enhancement of his own strength.
With achievement points, you have the capital to work hard, and everything can be said easily!
However, it turns out that the East Palace is not so easy to sleep at.
After the prince finished giving instructions, the palace maid presented another exquisite box. He took out the contents of the box, carefully held it in his mouth, swallowed it after a while, and chatted with Li Yan about the situation in Liangzhou, Longyou and even Anxi.
.
Half an hour later, the prince looked tired. This time he couldn't hold on any longer. He stood up, and Li Yan also stood up.
But before getting ready to go to sleep, the prince hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Li Wuwei, if you hear strange noises at night, don't pay attention to them."
Li Yan was startled: "Your Highness, I don't understand..."
The prince said: "There seems to be something unusual in Shaoyang Courtyard recently. Many palace people saw white clothes fluttering at night, and heard that there were headless palace maids walking around. I don't believe it..."
He smiled and said: "Li Wuwei has a masculine spirit and blood, so naturally he is not afraid of these things."
When the prince said this, he was quite envious of Li Yan's physical strength, but he didn't notice that Li Yan's body was tense.
Your palace is haunted, why would you let me stay here?
Li Yuanfang's weakness is ghost...
