The originally eerie atmosphere in the court immediately turned into a chicken farm because of the words of the Marquis of Xiangcheng!
Regardless of what they were thinking just now, those ministers are now questioning the Marquis of Xiangcheng!
Even if they usually draw circles and curse their colleagues because of their different political opinions, this does not affect their pretentious and awe-inspiring attitude now!
The poor Xiangcheng Hou stood like a bereaved dog in the middle of the court, facing accusations from all directions, like a small boat in the wind and waves, ups and downs, almost sinking.
Fortunately, Liu Hongji and all the generals were in Qinling, otherwise he would not even have a chance to sink! It wasn't the first time those people had beaten people openly in the court.
Shivering and wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, the Marquis of Xiangcheng finally cast his hopeful eyes on the prince, who was at the head of the hundred officials. He also knew that only the prince could save him now.
Prince Li Jiancheng's face is very dark, very dark!
In the beginning, he only accepted the surrender of the Marquis of Xiangcheng in order to win over the ministers. But now he extremely doubts the origin of the title of Marquis of Xiangcheng!
Is it too generous of me to be able to become a prince with such an IQ?
But he was annoyed because the Marquis of Xiangcheng was also from his faction, and he was also attacking the people of his second brother Li Shimin. He really had to deal with this siege!
After sighing slightly and looking up at his father who was still indifferent on the throne, Li Jiancheng walked out slowly:
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Marquis of Xiangcheng just made unintentional remarks! His intention was not to curse the Marquis of Sanyuan County, but simply to express concern. It was just an inappropriate choice of words. There is no need to make such a fuss."
"Yes! The prince is right!"
The Marquis of Xiangcheng, who was battered by the attack, heard that the prince finally stood up, and immediately agreed: "Wei Chen just made a guess..."
"Idiot!" When Li Jiancheng heard this pig teammate's words, the corner of his mouth immediately twitched! Fortunately, Xiangcheng Hou also suddenly realized that saying this was still suspected of gloating, and immediately shut up.
With an imperceptible movement, Li Jiancheng glared at the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and before others could react, Li Jiancheng continued: "I also admire the Marquis of Sanyuan County very much, and I hope he can return safely!
It's just that manpower is sometimes poor. Father, you have invested so much manpower and material resources, but there is still no news about the Marquis of Sanyuan County. We have to prepare for the worst in advance! Therefore, I would like to suggest that we search for another ten days. If there is no news, we can re-draw the regulations! "
"I second the proposal..."
"I also second the proposal..."
After the prince said these words, many ministers immediately stood up to support him! These are the leaders of the prince's faction, and they always support the prince's decisions unconditionally!
And because these people took the lead, the voices of support soon spread in the court!
Although Changsun Wuji was anxious at the side, there was nothing he could do.
This is not the heyday of the Tang Dynasty!
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, everything was poor. He also knew that the imperial court would not endlessly invest manpower and material resources to find Xiao Han!
And to be honest, Li Yuan's ability to do what he did now is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Xiao Han. He didn't see his general being captured three times, and he didn't use the three guards to rescue him?
On the dragon chair, Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "In this case, we will tentatively set a ten-day period! Pass on the order, within these ten days, all those searching in the Qinling Mountains must not slack off, and those who violate it will be punished according to military law! "
After that, Li Yuan, who looked tired, flicked his sleeves and walked into the inner room behind the dragon chair without announcing the next court.
The emperor left just like that, and all the ministers in the hall looked at each other, wondering why Li Yuan was so abnormal today.
Only a few people who were deeply attuned to Li Yuan's thoughts knew that the emperor was anxious. It seemed that Xiao Han's holy love was still strong!
It's snowing tonight, can I have a drink?
Xiao Han also wanted to drink a glass of wine at this time, but now let alone wine, he didn't even have a cup of tea. There was only an endless road to go. As for where is the end? God knows!
In his previous life, Xiao Han was forced by his teacher to recite a famous poem: Where is Yun Heng's Qinling family? The snow embraces the blue and the horse stops moving forward!
Now the first half of this poem actually corresponds to Xiao Han's current situation! Just look at the heavy snow in the sky, how can we cross Lantian Pass and go down to the Qinling Mountains? The already difficult mountain road was covered with a layer of snow. By the end of the day, I had fallen down eight times!
"No... I can't. I can't fall anymore. I want to rest!" Walking to a valley, the panting Xiao Han sat down on a large protruding rock and refused to go any further!
The team quickly stopped. Ren Qing, who was at the front, looked back at Xiao Han, then looked at the thick clouds on the horizon, and sighed deeply.
"Just rest here today. A few people will go out to survey the terrain. Remember to pay attention to safety!"
The order to rest came from Ren Qing's mouth, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
This journey was not only difficult for Xiao Han, but the others were not much better either! Especially the one who opened the way at the front, three of them have changed today!
Jia San took a few people and went out on patrol with Xiao Qi, who was excited to see the snow.
Others were busy gathering wood, preparing to light a fire, or setting up camp in a sheltered place, a busy scene.
Xiao Lian didn't sit idle just because she was the only girl in the team. While the others were busy working on their own, she also carried a cloth bag and went to the surrounding woods to find dried fruits.
The squirrels in the Qinling Mountains are actually similar to their close relatives, voles, in that they both have the bad habit of hiding food!
Xiao Han had heard in his previous life that a field mouse could hide dozens of kilograms of peanuts. In times of famine, people would go to the field mouse nest if they had nothing to eat. One nest would often contain enough food for several people!
Nowadays, the squirrels in the Qinling Mountains are not bad. Xiao Han took out one a few days ago and took out more than ten kilograms of various dried fruits! I wonder if the squirrel that found its home ransacked upon its return would crash into a tree and die.
Pulling down her wolfskin hat to cover her ears, Xiao Lian stepped on the soft white snow and walked into the forest nearby.
As soon as I approached the forest, I saw a large tree that could be surrounded by more than ten people. Its complicated crown reached into the sky. It was unknown how many hundreds of years it took to grow to this size.
Xiao Lian looked up at the giant tree and felt dizzy. This tree was too big! It was bigger than any tree she had ever seen! That is to say, the leaves are all fallen now. If it were summer, how would this be a spectacular scene?
Perhaps everyone is curious about unknown things, so Xiao Lian was slowly approaching the giant tree unconsciously. The closer he gets, the more Xiao Lian feels his own insignificance!
Slowly walking to the tree, stepping on a big tree root protruding from the ground and as thick as a bucket, Xiao Lian was about to reach out and pat the mottled bark, but suddenly found that the tree was hollow!
On one side of the tree trunk, a huge hole was opened, which was as high as two people and as wide as one person. It was dark inside and it was unknown what was inside.
