The people of the world, the affairs of the world, the world knows!
In fact, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, many people were secretly thinking: When did Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty become interested in killing his brother to seize the throne?
Regarding this issue, only a few people in the world know: Li Shimin has had the desire to seize the throne for a long time! But the opportunity to kill his brother was finally decided after the poisonous attack that almost killed him.
The time soon came to the first day of June. On this day, Taibai Venus rarely appeared in the sky over Chang'an. It shined with the sun and did not set for a long time. It attracted countless people in Chang'an to look up and rumors spread.
Judging from the astrology theory of this era, Ziwei star, the North Star, has always been regarded as the emperor star.
The Taibai Venus star is the king star. Its appearance in the daytime means that the wise king has been chosen!
On the same day, Yuan Tiangang of Qin Tianjian hurriedly entered the palace to report, saying that this horoscope should be on the King of Qin.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Li Yuan looked unhappy and scolded him angrily. Yuan Tiangang hid his face and resigned.
Two days later, on the third day of June, Hou Xiaohan of Sanyuan County suddenly sent invitations to all his friends to attend his wedding scheduled for the fourth day of July. Countless people immediately congratulated him.
Thanks to Xiao Han's good reputation among his colleagues, as news of his wedding spread, the number of people buying gifts in Chang'an increased dramatically!
Seeing this situation, all kinds of rare treasures in the East Market have all increased in price. But even so, people often spend a lot of money to buy expensive rare items that are ready for gifts at first sight.
In other words, since the Chinese New Year this year.
Chang'an has always been in a mysterious atmosphere. In this atmosphere, starting from the court, countless officials are in danger.
It is precisely because of this atmosphere that during the entire first half of this year, no one in the civil and military officials dared to arrange weddings in a big way!
During this period, those who have wedding dates tend to postpone it.
If there is really no way to delay it, I just get a small sedan chair and carry the person home to hastily finish the matter.
This is indeed the first time this year that Xiao Han has done something so grand.
Faced with this red propaganda, those Chang'an officials who had been nervous for more than half a year were not surprised but overjoyed, thinking that the court was finally beginning to change its direction.
————
Since the announcement of the marriage, Sanyuan County has quickly become busy.
As the most prosperous rising star in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, Xiao Han's wedding will naturally be more grand!
Therefore, Butler Lu started various preparations one month in advance.
Purchasing various materials, raising the livestock to be slaughtered on the wedding day, decorating the palace, arranging seats, planning the wedding process, and training the servants at home on what to pay attention to during the wedding.
Housekeeper Lu and Zhang Qiang were so busy with all the trivial matters that they sometimes even forgot to eat.
At the beginning, Chief Cao was still waving his cattail leaf fan and watching the two people having fun, but for some reason he was lured over to work together by the two of them.
Now he was busy, and at the same time he was wondering why he had to join in when he was full.
Sanyuan County was in a state of intense busyness from top to bottom, but at this time, other places in the Tang Dynasty were not free either.
Zhang Bao, Yuan Dake and others who were friends with Xiao Han in Hanzhong could not come in person, so they sent their children to come to congratulate him.
Similarly, people who are acquainted with each other in Luoyang, Taiyuan, Hebei and other places sent people to congratulate him.
So starting from late June, those who came to watch the ceremony or congratulate them came one after another, making some people stationed in Sanyuan County dizzy.
Of course, it was the negligence of these people that prevented them from discovering that some people who should not have appeared here quietly followed the gift-giving team and then mysteriously disappeared into the Xiao Mansion.
The night gradually deepened, and when people who had been busy for a day on earth fell asleep one after another, in the deepest courtyard of Xiao Han's mansion, the door creaked and someone quietly pushed it open from the outside.
"who?!"
Hearing this voice, the candlelight in the room was instantly blown out! Along with a cold question, there was also the faint sound of a sword being unsheathed in the room.
"it's me!"
Looking at the dark room, Xiao Han gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. When will my life be in danger if I return home?
"Is it Xiao Han?"
As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, someone in the room took a long breath and responded. Then, the candle that had just been extinguished was lit again. Under the dancing candlelight, several people in the room gradually appeared.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to be driven to the East China Sea, and Yu Chigong and Duan Zhixuan were dispatched. Qin Shubao and Qu Tutong who took sick leave, as well as Zhang Shigui and Luo Shixin who should be in the military camp!
King Qin’s confidants, who had been on different sides these days, were now all gathered here!
"How have you been here these two days?" Xiao Han turned around and closed the door tightly. He greeted everyone with a smile and asked casually.
"How's it going? It's frustrating!" Cheng Yaojin saw that it was Xiao Han and immediately replied angrily.
Then he pointed to the lunch box placed under the table and said: "Also, forget it if you don't let us go out, it won't be enough to eat! Why, don't you even care if you are full?"
"It's not that you don't care if you are full." Xiao Han smiled bitterly and explained to him helplessly: "It's just that King Qin has told you that the less people know about your affairs here, the better, so you can't expect me to give you everything for every meal. Can you place thirty or fifty plates?"
"Ahem, you don't need thirty or fifty plates. I think it's just ten or eight pounds of the red and plump meat you made last time."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, and there was already glistening saliva on the corners of his thick lips, which gave Qin Shubao and others next to him a headache.
"Okay! Don't be embarrassed. I didn't ask you to come here to let you eat!"
Qin Shubao glared at Cheng Yaojin, then turned to look at Xiao Han and asked: "Xiao Han, did King Qin say when we will enter the city?"
"I said it!" Xiao Han couldn't help but look serious when he saw that he was talking about business. He looked at everyone in the room and nodded slowly, and then said: "Initially, it will be set at the end of this month! Then you will sneak into the city in batches, We can’t go to Prince Qin’s Mansion, so you should go to Changsun Wuji’s home when the time comes, and then wait for the next step.”
"good!"
Qu Tutong was the oldest among the people in the room. He thought about it seriously, nodded to Xiao Han and said: "Then how do we enter the palace after we go to Chang'an? There are so many of us at Chang'an City Gate. People, how easy is it to sneak in without attracting everyone’s attention?”
Xiao Han slightly arched his hands to Qu Tutong to show respect, and then said: "I actually don't know this, but since it was arranged by King Qin, I think there is a reason for his arrangement, so we can just act according to the plan! "
