The soldiers who went out to conquer Tibet not only captured Shibao City, but also expanded the territory thousands of miles away, which greatly promoted the power of the Tang Dynasty. On the day when the army returned to the DPRK, the streets were empty, and the common people in the capital crowded into Zhuque Street, which the generals must pass through when returning to the DPRK.
The streets were filled with people waiting to welcome the generals for the expedition, and even the attics along the streets were crowded with ladies and ladies from the boudoir of the officials and officials in the capital.
The young man from Prince Tan's Mansion saw the roar of the mountains and the sea on the street, and the scene of people looking around with their heads raised. He looked at Prince Tan who got out of the carriage with a troubled expression.
"Your Majesty, it seems we are late!"
The boy looked embarrassed: "I should have booked a place in Guiyun Pavilion in advance. There are people everywhere right now, and I can't even squeeze through any gaps."
"Who said we can't squeeze in? Someone has already chosen a good spot for me."
King Tan left the confused boy behind and strode into Guiyun Pavilion.
Today, those who reserved a private room in Guiyun Pavilion to watch the army return to the court were all rich and noble officials, so they saw King Tan striding in dressed in brocade clothes.
The waiter, who had long been trained to be invulnerable to fire and water, came up to him with an apologetic look on his face: "Sir, I'm really sorry. All the private rooms in Guiyun Pavilion have been booked."
"Then just squeeze in with others!"
If the man wanted to shirk something, King Tan took out the token from his waist, waved it in front of his eyes, and ordered him: "Take me to the private room reserved by the third prince."
When the eldest prince's token was placed in front of him, the waiter naturally did not dare to say anything, and he respectfully led Prince Tan up to the attic.
Looking at the streets crowded with people welcoming the army back to the court, and the people crowded in the pavilions of Zuixiao across the way, they were all well-dressed and well-dressed.
The third prince Li Sisheng stood by the window, and soon he saw Yue'er's head sticking out from where he was standing, and standing next to Yue'er, he had been looking for opportunities since he returned to the capital. The Tenth Emperor's sister whom I have not seen very often.
The location he spent a lot of money to choose was an excellent location to observe her imperial sister and Li Linhuai. The third prince was very satisfied with the location he chose, but when he heard the door behind him open, he turned around and narrowed his eyes. The smile in his eyes.
Facing the eldest prince with a bright smile on his face, the third prince said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Huang is really haunted!"
"Brothers, we share blessings and share hardships. If you say such things as the lingering ghost, it will hurt your royal brother's heart."
King Tan waved his hand to block the following boys and waiters from the door. After closing the door, he walked straight to the third prince's side. Following his gaze, he finally saw Yue'er and Yue'er standing in the elegant room of Zuixiao Tower opposite. Li Sixu.
Although there was a scar on his face, the eldest prince's smile became strangely soft when he saw his imperial sister.
"My royal sister is so beautiful. Just a few words can't describe her beauty. It's a pity that such a good royal sister like me has to be abducted by that boy Li Linhuai."
"Brother Huang knows that you and Zhongsi are the best friends. He sent you many messages back to the capital during his expedition to the frontier."
King Tan looked at him dissatisfied: "The whole thing happened at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. After the emperor brought the emperor's sister into the imperial study, we discussed it for a long time. When she returned to the Manlu Hall, the imperial concubine called my mother and the imperial concubine. The concubine, the queen and the talented people locked the emperor's sister in the room and interrogated her. Later, Yue'er solved the problem by taking her out of the palace to relax. Now, you still want to hide the matter between her and Li Linhuai. Your royal brother?"
Being watched closely by King Tan, Li Sisheng sighed helplessly.
"Hey, after the Dragon Boat Festival incident, Si Sheng lied to himself these days. The reason why the imperial sister asked her father to take back the title and the land that was awarded to her was for the sake of the imperial concubine and our new little emperor brother. With her His temper must be that he is thinking about the principle of the moon waxing and waning, and the water overflowing when it is full."
Before the third prince finished speaking, the eldest prince answered: "That girl has always had a clear temper. The reason why her mother-in-law was promoted to the rank of noble concubine is indeed because of her father's special love, but it is not because there is no one behind the fish empress. With the help of the mother clan, the Fish Queen is promoted to a noble concubine, which is more suitable than other queens."
"If the person who is promoted to the imperial concubine is my mother-in-law, or the imperial concubine, then we will be in danger."
The eldest prince expressed his true feelings: "That girl overthinks it. She feels that because she has an imperial sister like herself, the younger imperial brother will become a threat to us imperial brothers in the future. She has always been sensible and righteous, so she wants to retreat bravely to maintain the harem." Balance also protects the fish empress and the little emperor brother."
"This is too much to worry about!"
The eldest prince looked at the beautiful figure in the elegant room of Zuixiao Tower opposite: "Why does a girl have to carry such a heavy burden on her body? She also has us royal brothers."
"I have done so many things for the frontier generals and the people, but in the end she was misunderstood by the courtiers. Thinking about it makes me feel sorry for this girl."
"The courtiers misunderstood?"
Li Sisheng curled his lips sarcastically: "It's just a plot by someone with ulterior motives. With our ten emperor sisters, maybe that person will no longer be a courtier soon."
"He gathered cronies and was blinded by power. He actually wanted to attack the emperor's sister and the meritorious generals at the frontier. He really overestimated his capabilities."
Xuanzong strictly controlled the affairs of the princes involved in government affairs.
So when Li Sisheng said this, it was enough: "What Sisheng wants to say is that her doing this is just one of the reasons. She should also do this for the frontier soldiers and Li Linhuai."
"The Tubo invaded the border for many years. My father had no good method and ordered heavy rewards for those who killed the Tubo generals. It is precisely because of this that the frontier generals were willing to risk their lives to fight against the Tubo. Every inch of their military exploits was paid with blood. In exchange, if King Anxin, who has made great military exploits, is punished because of the rescued prisoner Dalangya, it will really chill the hearts of the frontier soldiers. How can I, the son of the Tang Dynasty, be willing to risk his life to protect the peace of the people on the frontier? ?”
"This storm can't last long! That's why the imperial sister has to protect King Anxin and the generals who have made great military exploits. It is precisely because the imperial sister got along with King Anxin and the generals at the border that she gave that man an opportunity to take advantage of him. .”
King Tan knew that what he disclosed should be information obtained from the letter sent by Wang Zhongsi.
What happened to the imperial sister and Li Linhuai at the border?
King Tan was very curious: "What about Li Linhuai?"
"The emperor's sister is precociously intelligent, hasn't she already shown signs of it? When Li Linhuai protected her when she went to see Zen Master Dahui, Si Sheng and the emperor's brother also kept a close eye on her."
Li Sisheng continued: "Li Linhuai is familiar with the art of war and has the talent of a general. The reason why Sisheng keeps a close eye on him is because he thinks there is a natural barrier between him and the imperial sister."
"And now this barrier has been broken by the imperial sister. Whether it is because of the fish empress and the younger brother, or because of the meritorious frontier soldiers, the fact is that our little imperial sister retreats from this place. With one step, the barrier between him and Li Linhuai disappeared."
"Li Linhuai is Si Sheng's best friend. He is indeed the best son of the Tang Dynasty and is worthy of my imperial sister."
Li Sisheng complained to King Tan: "But why does this guy ask the imperial sister to pay so much for him? Those are the ten imperial sisters we hold in our hands, and we are not willing to let her suffer any injustice..."
