During the New Year's Day, all the emperors, relatives and relatives gathered together.
It was supposed to be a good day for laughter and drinking.
But at this time, the atmosphere in Linde Hall was awkward.
The Liyuan children performed hard, but the audience was cautious and deliberately lowered their voices when speaking.
No matter what, everyone knows that the emperor and the prince are currently in a tense situation.
When the prince and his wife delivered New Year's greetings to the emperor, the emperor didn't even give him any wine!
This can be regarded as putting the contradiction directly on the surface.
The emperor and the prince are the two most powerful people in the world.
There was a conflict between them, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could not express their preferences at this time.
So even if we just talk, we always raise our hands to cover our mouths and keep our voices down.
Of course, everyone's expressions are different, and what they think in their hearts is even different.
Like the loyal king Li Yu, there is a joy that cannot be concealed between his eyebrows.
He has come to his senses now. When he was fighting for the crown prince last year, he was obviously tricked.
Fortunately, the sky has eyes. Now it is the turn of the old man who tricked him to be unlucky. How could he not be happy?
Princess Xianyi and her consort Yang Hui were obviously much nervous.
What they were worried about was whether the emperor would directly depose the prince in his anger.
This worry is completely unnecessary.
Apart from actual puppets, how could the princes of the past dynasties be so easily deposed?
Even the braided prince who said, "How can there be a prince in the world who has been thirty years old?" caused big troubles when he was deposed.
Almost all the princes before the Song Dynasty were of extraordinary strength.
When Liu Zheng took action, he destroyed half of the city of Chang'an.
When Li Chengqian took action, how many people were involved and buried with him.
Even the former deposed prince Li Ying led soldiers into the palace, causing great trouble in Nuo.
At this time, most of the Prince's six commanders were already in place, and the Dong Palace soldiers recruited were also on duty.
In addition, there were helpers from both the court and the palace, and he was deeply loved by the people of Chang'an City.
At this time, Li Yunze could no longer be dismissed by Li Sanlang with just an imperial edict.
If he was really sent away by force, judging from the character shown by Li Yunze, it would definitely cause turmoil.
Therefore, Li Sanlang had to first eliminate Li Yunze's backers, then cut off his wings, and finally demote him to a commoner by imperial decree.
Li Sanlang, who had this intention in mind, picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the graceful princess beside Li Yunze.
Under the palace attire, anything too much is too fat, and too little is too thin.
Coupled with that peerless appearance, Li Sanlang couldn't help but move his legs.
'The prince must be abolished! '
Yang Yuhuan lowered her head uneasily, and the gaze from the throne made her very uncomfortable.
"felt it?"
Li Yunze leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Now you know why I have been reluctant to take you into the palace, right?"
Yang Yuhuan, with tears in her beautiful eyes, raised her head and looked at Li Yunze, lightly opening her red lips, "I would rather die!"
Raising his hand to brush away the tears on the girl's fair cheeks, Li Yunze responded with a smile, "Whoever causes trouble will die!"
Li Sanlang, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the scene of the young couple having sex with each other below, and his heart was filled with anger.
He snorted heavily, then stood up and walked away.
The emperor's relatives looked at each other in confusion. Which show is this?
Li Yunze, who didn't care, was too lazy to continue acting, so he simply got up and pulled Yang Yuhuan out of the Linde Hall.
Immediately, many royal relatives and relatives left one after another.
The atmosphere here is depressing. It's better to go back to your own house and have fun as much as you want. No one can control it.
At this time, Gao Lishi came out of the back hall and came all the way to the side of the loyal king Li Yu. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty invites you to see him."
Li Yu was startled at first, then his face lit up with joy, and he immediately nodded to Gao Lishi, "Okay, I will go now, thank you second brother."
Gao Lishi led Li Yu to the apse with a smile, but what he was thinking in his heart was, "King Zhong is good at talking, but his actions are too shabby." The prince is generous, but his temper is too arrogant. Let alone me, I don't even dare to be hypocritical to His Majesty. Alas, still
too young. If he were as eloquent and coaxing as King Zhong, he wouldn't be so unpopular. '
The unpopular Li Yunze was caught up by Princess Xianyi and Yang Hui when he got into the carriage outside the palace gate.
"Shizuro."
Princess Xianyi, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur cape, asked worriedly, "What should you do now?"
"yes."
Yang Hui, the commander-in-chief of the Prince Consort, echoed from the side, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more dissatisfied with you. What should we do?"
Their identities as a couple meant that they had no choice, so they were naturally on the prince's side.
If the prince is unlucky, they won't get any good fruits.
"What else can I do?"
Li Yunze, who looked calm, spread his hands and said, "When you can't bear it anymore, there is no need to bear it anymore."
While the palace in the imperial court was turbulent and ups and downs, the people in Chang'an City gradually became quiet.
With the prince's support, many civilians in Chang'an City received the most basic life support, and even received wine and meat from the prince so that they could have a good New Year.
Wang Gui, who once showed his loyalty to the prince, was currently at home paying homage to his parents and wife.
"Aye, Aniang, Madam."
Wang Gui, who was holding a wine bowl, toasted the three tablets in front of him with tears in his eyes.
"I wanted to go with you, but I couldn't bear to worry about Hu Zi and the girl." Wang Gui lit the incense. "Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince helped me, and I finally survived."
Wang Gui turned around and glanced at his children who were devouring meat around the table. With a smile on his face, Wang Gui turned around and put the incense in the incense burner. "You guys over there should also pray for His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is the savior of our family." , saved countless people inside and outside Chang'an City.
"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is our savior of the Tang Dynasty."
While talking to himself, a voice came from outside, "Is Wang Gui at home?"
Hearing the call, Wang Gui was filled with doubts.
There are no relatives or friends left at home, even the neighbors have visited during the Chinese New Year.
Who will come to find me at this time?
I came to the small courtyard with doubts, and when I opened the door, I saw a stranger with a white face and no beard.
"Dare to ask your step"
The man rubbed his hands and smiled, "Can I come in to talk?"
Because he was a stranger and he had young children at home, Wang Gui naturally did not dare to let the stranger in.
The man smiled, took out a sign from his sleeve, showed it to Wang Gui in his hand, and lowered his voice, "A certain person is from the East Palace."
Wang Gui was startled and hurriedly turned sideways to let the visitor in.
Wang Gui, who owns a house in Chang'an City, is naturally not a refugee.
It's just that he doesn't have a serious job and can only make money by doing casual work, which barely fits the status of a mobster.
To sum up, they should be the hooligans in Chang'an City?
Real refugees cannot survive in Chang'an City, because they will be driven out of the city by the government officials because they are unsightly.
As for hooligans, they are basically organized beggars.
These Chang'an people sponsored by Li Yunze are basically from Chang'an City in the true sense. They have residences in various neighborhoods in the city, but they can't find jobs to make money to support their families.
It’s not that they are lazy and unwilling to do things, but that there is no work for them to do.
Again, the powerful officials, courtiers, nobles, aristocratic families, royal relatives, and state relatives around Li Sanlang have already firmly controlled everything, and there are not many leftovers that ordinary people can fight for.
If you don't have a job, you can't make money, and if you don't have money, you can't buy rice to eat. Starving to death during the prosperous Kaiyuan era became a matter of course.
As for selling your house to survive, that’s true.
But most people in the Tang Dynasty were reluctant to sell these ancestral houses that were often a century old, for fear that they would not be able to see their ancestors in shame when they went down.
In fact, even if you sell your house, you will not get much money due to the squeeze from Yahang and the powerful officials.
Either they have to leave their hometown, or they have spent all their wealth and starved to death.
Because of this, Li Yunze took the initiative to take on the responsibility, and the significance of feeding these people was so important.
"May I ask how you call Mr. Lang?"
After closing the courtyard door, Wang Gui hurriedly saluted and asked.
"The surname of a certain family is Gao, and the name is Jinzhong." The person who came was Gao Jinzhong. He looked at the little children in the room who were looking out curiously, and lowered his voice and asked Wang Gui, "That day you said that you were willing to go through fire and water for His Highness the Crown Prince, but is it really true? ?”
Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he let his children into the back room with a solemn expression.
Then he invited Gao Jinzhong into the main room, closed the door and saluted again, and said with a very sincere expression, "May I ask what your Highness the Crown Prince's orders are? Even if it means risking my life, I will never frown!"
"What do you want with your life?"
Gao Jinzhong shook his head and sat down on the shabby chair, "His Royal Highness did not ask us to come here this time. I came to you myself."
Wang Gui, who sat aside, was puzzled and asked, "May I ask Mr. Gao, what is it?"
"well."
Gao Jinzhong sighed, his acting skills were on the line, "We heard a piece of news in the East Palace."
Having said this, he lowered his voice, approached Wang Gui and said, "Your Majesty intends to depose the prince!"
"What?!"
After hearing this, Wang Gui immediately stood up and became furious, "Why is this?! Your Highness the Prince has a kind heart and has saved countless people in Chang'an City. Why is this!"
"It's because I saved the people of Chang'an City."
Gao Jinzhong sighed repeatedly, "Your Majesty feels that the prince has hurt his face and offended those powerful officials, so..."
"This is true, this is true." Wang Gui clenched his fists tightly and trembled with anger, "Where is the justice of heaven!"
"There is no justice now."
Gao Jinzhong sighed and motioned for Wang Gui to sit down and talk.
"We can't stand this kind of thing, but His Royal Highness is a filial person. I came to you today just to ask you a question. Do you dare to do things for His Highness?"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Gui said in a deep voice, "The lives of a certain family are given by His Highness the Crown Prince. A certain person is willing to do anything for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"very good."
With a satisfied look on his face, Gao Jinzhong clapped his hands and smiled, "In that case, we would like to ask you to do something for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What's the matter?"
"Contact people to protect the prince!"
