After all, Li Jing told Zhou Guoxuan that he would pass the throne to Hongyi, thus buffering Zhou Guo's attack on Jiangbei. However, Li Hongyi was very ambitious and wanted to lead his troops to resist, so Zhou Guo captured all of Jiangbei. Many people may not know this matter, but as Li Jing's close servant, how could Gao Sixi not know?
Because at first Li Jing's mind moved, she wanted Li Daitao to land safely, but she didn't know that the spies of Zhou State intercepted Li Jing's secret. What people didn't expect was that not only did Lord Zhou defeat Li Jing's ideas, he even refused to allow Li Jing to pass the throne in order to disgust Li Jing's inner thoughts. This may also be a major reason. After all, no matter how powerful Zhou is, Li Jing is still the boss in Tang. You can imagine how frustrated and angry he felt at that time.
"The king is talented and has great plans. These things must have been planned in the king's mind for a long time. As long as you have instructions, just ask the king to issue an order!" Gao Sishi thought about these things quickly in his mind. Now Li Hongyi was captured by the emperor. Abolition must have a lot to do with his inner thoughts and uncompromising ability.
Now that Li Jing wants to retain her position, she naturally doesn't want any voices to interfere with her! Power is sometimes a scary thing! Thinking back on Li Hongyi's status in the Tang Dynasty, although the relationship between the two was somewhat awkward at first because of the presence of the emperor's younger brother, Gao Sixi understood that this was a means.
However, the emperor's younger brother suddenly died suddenly. For Li Hongyi, his rights were no longer in doubt, but for Li Jing, he was obviously under a huge threat! No matter what Li Hongyi thought in his heart, the reality was cruel. No matter who was losing power, those who wanted to flatter him that day wanted to stay away.
Xiao Cheng, however, couldn't get a word in. He could only listen to everyone chatting and watch Li Jing compose two short poems, but he didn't know whether they were good or bad. The banquet was in a lively atmosphere, especially for Duke Anding. He also responded to Emperor Li Jing's little words and saw everyone applauding and applauding. It must have been very good.
Han Xizai, the Minister of Household Affairs, also took the lead in responding. Seeing that his height stood out from the crowd, Xiao Cheng took a second look. However, what surprised Xiao Cheng was that after Han Xizai responded to two poems, an old man in purple robe got up to pour cold water on him. Only after listening to the comments from people around him did he know that this man was the prince and tutor Feng Yansi.
Although Xiao Cheng didn't know what arrogance Feng Yansi had, when he saw that even Li Jing gave him high-fives after he composed two short poems, he knew that this man still had some talent. However, he seemed to have some issues with Han Xizai, and it was rare for him to publicly ridicule Li Jing in front of him.
Seeing that Han Xizai didn't seem to care, Xiao Cheng saw a hint of anger in his eyes. Xiao Cheng couldn't help but look outside the main hall. He remembered that there was a person with this look just now. That person seemed to be standing beside the rockery outside the hall.
At this moment, the person could no longer be seen. Although Xiao Cheng was a little surprised, he didn't pay too much attention. After all, banquets in the palace are relatively rare for Xiao Cheng. Although it was not about the fine wine and delicacies on the table, at least the crowd of civil and military officials in the hall was still a bit eye-opening for Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng had seen so many civil and military officials in a place once, and the people there seemed to be kinder than here. The man sitting on the royal steps could roll up his trousers and drink and sing with everyone.
There is the place where Xiao Cheng once studied, there is the place that Xiao Cheng yearns for, and there is also the place where Xiao Cheng dreams about him!
But for an ideal, Xiao Cheng left there and came to Raozhou thousands of miles away. Who knew that things were unpredictable, and he actually came to Jinling again. Although he doesn't know how much changes his changes will bring to his mission, Xiao Cheng will definitely find a way to make up for it.
What surprised Xiao Cheng was that after listening to Geng Xiansheng and others chatting, he found out that the man in yellow who was just outside was actually the recently deposed Crown Prince Hong Yi. This made Xiao Cheng particularly surprised, because it was generally difficult for deposed princes in the past to be seen by others. He did not expect that he could freely enter and leave the palace banquet.
Perhaps out of instinct of status, Xiao Cheng was a little more curious about Hongyi. Seeing that many officials were freely entering and exiting the hall, no one paid attention to the Honglu Temple officials who were near the imperial steps, and the palace guards standing on both sides did not interfere, so they were a little ready to go out and take a look.
Geng Xiansheng seemed to sense Xiao Cheng's uncertain thoughts, so he sent a message telling Xiao Cheng that he could go out and take a look, because this was the palace, and no matter how curious and fresh he was, it was only limited to the vicinity of Daming Palace. Because the palace is no better than the outside, there are still strict safety regulations for outsiders.
When Xiao Cheng walked out of the main hall, the lights were still brightly lit outside even though it was late at night, and the surrounding lights and candles illuminated the Daming Palace as if it were daytime.
I feel a hint of moisture in the air, maybe the weather is going to change! Looking around at the laughter and laughter, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and it is a scene of singing and dancing in a peaceful and prosperous age. Imagining what he saw all the way from the south, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be filled with emotions.
As expected, Hongyi was not standing next to the rockery. Xiao Cheng was a little disappointed. Xiao Cheng was still very curious about the fact that the deposed prince could appear at the palace night banquet. I wonder what the emperor Li Jing’s psychology is? When he was initially forced to retreat by the state of Zhou, he claimed to pass the throne to Hongyi. After being appeased by the state of Zhou, he actually deposed Hongyi.
After deposing Hongyi, it would be reasonable to put him under house arrest. But now it seems that it is not that simple. Hongyi can actually enter and exit the palace without hindrance. This matter is not that simple. After all, banquets like this are usually attended by envoys from various countries stationed in Jinling City. Isn't Li Jing afraid that Zhou Guo will know about this?
Xiao Cheng couldn't figure it out for a while, but when he thought about his identity, he was just a pawn brought by the leader. Not to mention whether he has the right to speak, even walking in the palace is currently difficult. Xiao Cheng didn't dare to cause trouble to Geng Xiansheng. After all, he had just joined the Xiaoyao Sect.
I wonder how Hongyi is doing now. No one dares to approach him! Xiao Cheng was a little disappointed, but when he saw that there were many people outside the Daming Palace, he wondered if he couldn't get used to the atmosphere in the palace. Many of them also gathered together in twos and threes and chatted in low voices. The Tang Palace must not have been too strict about such banquets, so Xiao Cheng started walking around in front of the palace.
But after walking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up because he saw the figure he wanted to see.
