On the way down to court, wangye walked with a disrespectful pace, as high-spirited as he could be!
"Your highness, you really have a discerning eye!”
"Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness, you have a good son-in-law, you have a good son-in-law.”
"When the time comes, I'll definitely prepare a congratulatory gift and come to enjoy the wedding wine of a talented woman and a genius of the Great Tang.”
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
Li Daozong smiled until he looked ten years younger. With a touch of his beard, he looked like a son-in-law who had the world in his hands. He smiled and gestured to the censors who had just criticized his son-in-law and now came to invite him to the wedding wine.
Although it was very fake, he still had to give face. As the saying goes, more friends means more roads. Although they didn't want to be good friends, they still had to maintain a normal relationship.
Hahaha!
"Your Highness, when the time comes, I, Su Lie, can also come and drink.”
This was a true friend. Li Daozong held Su Lie's hand tightly and said,"Brother Dingfang, who's with who? We're two shoulders apart, so it's not good to bring too much!”
"That won't do. My wife and my daughter have to lift their mouths from both shoulders to eat for free.”
"It's a small matter. Your daughter Yufeng is preparing a dance for the Great Tang's celebration with my Xueyan!”
Cough cough!
"Where's this handsome one?"
Li Daozong and Su Lie turned around and immediately cupped their hands."Marshal!"
"Master!"
Li Jing walked up to them and said coldly,""Watch out for Zhangsun Wuji. That old fox and Hou Junji are up to something.”
"Your Majesty is wise, but we can't let our guard down. It's better to be careful.”
"Yes, sir!"
As he spoke, Li Jing also left. The Marshal's eyes were naturally sharper, reminding the two of them with one sentence.
The two of them turned to see Hou Junji walking away with Zhangsun Wuji, his head drooping.
Su Lie sighed." We're all from the same sect. Why did he choose that path?!"”
"When the soldiers come, we will block them. We'll talk about it later. Let's go drink first.”
At this moment, Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin also walked over. The four of them had also grown bold. They actually didn't go home and made an appointment with Pingkang Lane.
They decided to drink from day to night, chat with the older talented women, and listen to them play the zither in front of the four bulls.
They were going all out to celebrate this great victory, to celebrate how Hou Junji and Zhangsun Wuji had shot themselves in the foot and cursed their wives.
On the other side, Hou Junji was walking stiffly, his face as long as a horse's.
Hehe!
"Duke of Chen, why do you have to do this? To achieve great things, you must be able to endure.”
"You and I are on the same side. You must hold back and stay calm. Losing once doesn't mean losing every time."
Zhangsun Wuji's foxy eyes rolled, as if he had everything under control.
"Duke of Zhao," Hou Junji sighed,"this is an elaborate plan. His Majesty is far too astute.”
Hahaha!
"He killed his brother to seize the throne. The former General of Heavenly Policy, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Decree, did the things of Li Jing and Fang Xuanling alone.”
"Smart, that's for sure."
Hou Junji suddenly felt enlightened. He had underestimated Li Shimin and overestimated himself.
"Duke Zhao, did the Crown Prince and Empress Zhangsun give you any hints?”
Zhangsun Wuji immediately looked around and only dared to speak softly when he saw that there was no one around.
What they were planning was a huge crime that could cost them their lives. No, it could even cost them their entire family.
"Take it slow!" Zhangsun Wuji said softly.”
"The Empress will never allow us to support any prince and exclude any prince.”
"Crown Prince, you are kind and naive. You only want to play.”
"Right, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the rewards given to the soldiers of Songzhou. Send someone to Songzhou to investigate and see if they can find any evidence against Yang Hao.”
"For example, taking bribes and bending the law, bullying men and women, and so on!”
"Impossible." Hou Junji smiled helplessly."The people support him so much and love him so dearly. It's impossible."”
Zhangsun Wuji widened his eyes and whispered,""Not seeking fame and fortune is really impeccable. I have to think of other ways.”
"This person is a talent. We must make him work for us and support the Crown Prince to sit firmly on the throne in the future. He absolutely could not let him marry Li Daozong, and he definitely could not let the Heavenly Policy Prefecture become like a tiger with wings!”
"Yes, Imperial Brother-in-law!"
After some persuasion from the State Brother-in-law, Hou Junji once again began to think of using Yang Hao.
Anyway, he was the one who went to invite people. There were plenty of opportunities!
In the afternoon, beside the lotus pond in the imperial palace!
The sun was just right, and the weather here was much better than at the Songzhou border, which was close to three thousand meters above sea level.
March at the border meant that winter had yet to pass and spring was yet to arrive. In March, winter had already passed and spring had arrived. It was flourishing and everything was reviving.
It was a scene of spring, just like the prosperous Great Tang.
The court musicians of the Imperial Bureau were playing the dance music from the tenth anniversary of the destruction of the Eastern Turks.
Li Xue Yan was dressed in a red Tang suit and was dancing with all her might. She was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. It was extremely beautiful.
Her dancers, Princess Chang Le Li Yueling, Princess Chang Le Li Lizhi, Princess Lan Ling Li Shu, Zhangsun Wuji's youngest daughter, Zhangsun Xue 'er, and Su Lie's third daughter, Su Yufeng, also followed her rhythm and danced.
It was a pity that there were only six of them. If there was one more, it would be the Seven Celestial Maidens descending to the mortal world.
The six of them made the lotus flowers in the pond lose their color. The youngest daughter of the Great Ancestor Li Yuan, the two daughters of Taizong, the youngest daughter of the Imperial Brother-in-law, and the third daughter of Su Lie, the five golden flowers of Chang 'an, were also willing to be green leaves in front of Li Xue Yan.
What she lost was not her looks. What she lost was only the righteous feelings that a woman should not have!
Aiya!
"Xue 'er, what's wrong?"
When the musicians stopped playing, they also stopped rehearsing and crowded around Zhangsun Xue 'er.
"I'm sorry, sister Xue Yan, I fell.”
Li Xue Yan pulled up her pants with concern and looked at her ankle. It was a little swollen. She couldn't rehearse today.
"Alright then!"
"Sisters, you've worked hard.”
"Men, call the imperial physician."
Li Lizhi called the eunuch Chang Shi to look for the imperial physician.
Then, the sisters helped Zhangsun Xue 'er to the pavilion to rest while Li Xue Yan went to the lotus pond alone.
She looked towards the east, towards the direction of Hongnong County, Henan Province.
Under the warm sunlight, a faint smile appeared on her fair face.
"I heard from the Golden Guards that you received His Majesty's praise in court.”
"Your Majesty, I still need the Minister of War to invite you.”
"I really want to see what you look like and what kind of person you are to be able to kill 40,000 with 3,000.”
"You must, you must come to Chang 'an before the ceremony!”
"At that time, I will be dancing on the highest platform.”
